After 17 years, Pat Dawson will retire as the Langley City library manager in March. She plans to work as a literacy volunteer.

DAN FERGUSON Langley Times

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

Pat Dawson will never forget her en-counter with a young single mom who couldn’t read.

It happened during a visit to a tran-sition house for a library story-time program.

As part of the program, parents and

children would pick a book to read to-gether.

When the young mother asked Daw-son to read with her and her son, she soon realized why.

The three of them sat down and went through the book.

Later on, Dawson gave the mom a copy of the book they’d read together

to keep. The grateful woman hugged it to her chest.

“She told me she had never learned to read, but she was going to make sure that her son would learn to read, and he would learn to love to read,” Dawson said.

Moving on to the next chapterPat Dawson, manager for City of Langley FVRL branch, is closing the book on her career

Langley Township fi re department will not car-ry Narcan kits on their fi re trucks to deal with drug overdoses at this time, said assistant fi re chief Bruce Ferguson.

Administered early enough, Narcan or nalox-one can reverse an opioid drug overdose and po-tentially save lives.

Last week, fi refi ghters in Surrey and Vancouver became the fi rst to carry the kits.

Both those municipalities had the highest number of overdose deaths in B.C. last year.

“So far, they are the only ones that have been OK’d to try this pilot project,” said Ferguson. “Ad-ministrating Narcan is so far not in our scope of practice.”

Ambulance paramedics have long been equipped with the drug, but the program is being expanded to include fi refi ghters after an increase in overdoses to opioid drugs, such as heroin, oxy-codone and fentanyl.

Fire departments across the province may be able to join the program by signing an agreement with B.C. Emergency Health Services to pro-vide physician oversight, after regulations were changed this month to allow fi re rescue fi rst re-sponders to administer nalaxone.

Fire, ambulance and police responded to an apartment fi re in Langley City on Jan. 30. There were no reported injuries, but residents were left temporarily homeless as a result of fi re and water damage.



One occupant of a Langley City apartment building was taken to hospital for treatment of what was described as minor smoke inhalation after a Saturday morning (Jan. 30) fi re forced the evacuation of a building in the 20800 block of 56 Avenue.

The fi re, reported around 7:30 a.m., started in the storage unit of a second-fl oor suite.

The apartment and the unit directly below it suffered smoke and water damage.

Residents of the other suites were allowed to return the next day.

A restoration company was working on repairs by Wednesday.

The fi re department said the cause of the blaze was still under investigation, but it did not start in the electrical wiring or the hot water tank of the suite, nor does it appear to be suspicious.

Four fi re vehicles along with RCMP and ambu-lance attended the fi re.

TransLink provided a bus as a temporary shel-ter for the evacuated residents.

U.S. border guards allowed Langley mother to abduct her four children


A Langley woman managed to take her four children across the border into the U.S. at the Aldergrove crossing despite a B.C. court order banning her from tak-ing them out of the province.

A just-released Abbotsford Provin-cial Court written judgment shows the woman was allowed to cross the line in September, 2014 even though she told the U.S. authorities at the border about the non-removal order, and even though the father of the children discovered the attempted removal and went to the bor-der crossing.

“He was able to see them (the chil-dren) across a counter, but was not al-lowed to speak to them,” Judge Kenneth Skilnick wrote.

“He watched them leave with the

(mother).”Because the woman was an American

citizen and her Canadian-born children have dual citizenship, the United States Homeland Security offi cers “came to the conclusion that they had no grounds to prevent (them) from entering into the United States.”

After the mother and children got past the border, they spent several weeks on the road, staying in hotels and home-less shelters, before arriving at a rela-tive’s home in North Carolina, the deci-sion said.

When the father learned where they were staying and tried to follow them more than a month later, he was de-tained by U.S. Homeland Security of-fi cers and almost missed his fl ight to North Carolina, the judge noted.

However, the father managed to get a

court order from an American judge to return his children, and “with the assis-tance of local police offi cers,” took them home to Canada.

The details of the story were recount-ed during a fi ve-day hearing when the mother applied for an order that would give her custody of the children and al-low them to live in Washington state.

Judge Skilnick denied the application, noting the mother “has demonstrated an unwillingness to follow (court) or-ders” and “an unwillingness to accept the conclusions of police, doctors, so-cial workers, close friends and family, where those views do not accord with her own.”

The Dec. 11, 2015 judgment was re-cently posted on the Provincial Court website, with the full names of the par-ents and children removed.


“I fl oated back to work.”Dawson, who will retire this

March as the library manager for the City of Langley library branch (and the Terry Fox Li-brary in Port Coquitlam), has been promoting literacy and a love of reading for the last 17 years with the Fraser Valley Re-gional Library (FVRL).

“Our foundation is literacy in all forms,” Dawson told the Times.

“We are working with the whole community to break

down barriers.”It was at her fi rst job, with

the New Westminster Public Library children’s department, that Dawson developed her love of children’s literature and recognized the impact that ear-ly literacy can have on a com-munity.

She later took a partial detour from her profession to raise a family and work in ESL educa-tion, then returned to work at the FVRL.

Dawson started at Maple Ridge Public Library as a pub-lic services librarian and then

supervisor of information ser-vices.

In 2007, she became Library Manager for the City of Langley and Port Coquitlam.

Now that she’s retiring, Daw-son plans to work as a literacy volunteer.

She is also looking to hav-ing more time to read just for fun, and will likely re-read Lost Horizon by James Hilton, one of her favourite works of liter-ature that she describes as a “book that sticks.”

“I still get a kick out of it,” she said.

Foundation of FVRL is literacy in all forms, says retiring librarian


The fall of the Canadian dollar has been bad news for the Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL), which operates 25 community libraries, including all of the public library branches in both Langleys.

People who use the library can expect slightly fewer available copies of books and slightly lon-ger waits for on-hold titles.

That’s because the FVRL, like most Canadian li-braries, buys 80 per cent of its books from the U.S.

In 2015, the year the Canadian dollar did a nose-dive against the U.S. currency, the FVRL reduced the number of books and other “physical items” it purchased from 187,000 to 180,000.

In January of 2015, the Canadian currency was worth about 86 cents U.S.

By January of this year, it had fallen to 71 cents.The change in the exchange rate has increased

the cost of U.S. books by about 30 per cent, FVRL Chief Executive Offi cer Scott Hargrove estimates.

“Our ability to purchase has declined quickly and badly,” Hargrove said.

“It’s been a big hit, no question about it.”The library has managed to avoid steep cuts

by trimming the number of copies it buys of any given title and by moving money around to help maintain book purchases.

Library users will notice some less-popular titles aren’t as available, Hargrove said.

“When you’re buying fewer copies, people have to wait longer (for an on-hold book).”

It helps that the library recently won approv-al for a modest budget increase, which isn’t enough to completely cover the rising price of U.S. sourced materials, but will make a differ-ence.

This year, the FVRL expects it will be able to maintain purchases at close to last year’s lev-el.

The FVRL is the largest public library sys-tem in the province.

It serves over 700,000 people, with fund-ing coming from municipalities and the provincial government.

Firefi ghters in Langley attend overdoses all the time, said Fer-guson. But he said he personal-ly hasn’t heard that there is an increase in overdoses locally.

“Defi nitely not an epidemic. Drug overdoses are not specifi c to a neighbourhood or class of people.

“Drugs impact families in all demographics.”

Last week in Maple Ridge, a

woman overdosed and died. Fire crews there have respond-ed to 17 overdoses in one week.

“It’s an absolute epidemic. It’s horrifi c the overdoses we’re seeing,” Maple Ridge Fire Chief Dane Spence told Maple Ridge News.

Illicit drug overdose deaths in B.C. have jumped 27 per cent in 2015 and nearly 50 per cent in the Fraser Region, according to the B.C. Coroner’s Service.

An estimated 30 per cent of

overdose deaths involved fen-tanyl — either the dangerously potent synthetic opiate by itself or mixed with other drugs — and that proportion has steadi-ly climbed over the past three years.

The Ministry of Health es-timates that 370 opioid drug overdoses have been reversed by the treatment.

— fi les from Colleen Flanagan, Maple Ridge News and Black Press

reporter Jeff Nagel.

The Langley Centen-nial Museum in Fort Langley will host sev-eral activities, includ-ing a scavenger hunt. Next door the histor-ic fort is also offering Family Day events.

Willowbrook Mall is hosting Peace Play day, involving Lego.

ing disorder.Other speakers include Thea Hill, a mother, leg

The same issues that led Sharon Newbery to run for Langley City Council in 2014 are the reasons she is running in the February byelec-tion.

“I have the same con-cerns with safety in Langley City,” Newbery said.

“I’m also very con-cerned with the busi-ness situation, par-ticularly the empty storefronts.”

Newbery is a mem-ber of the Langley City Public Safety commit-tee, which has identi-fi ed crime and home-lessness as important issues.

She feels candidates for the City should live in the City.

“If you are going to make important de-cisions regarding our tax dollars then I feel it should also be affect-ing the decision mak-ers,” Newbery said.

“How can you tell the community how their tax dollars are going to

be spent or that their tax rate is increasing and then at the end of the day drive home to a different communi-ty? I not only choose to live in Langley City

but I choose to operate a business in the City.”

She said if elected, her council seat will not be a “stepping stone for other political aspirations.”

“I don’t believe that I’m a politician, I be-lieve that I’m a con-cerned citizen of this community and want to be involved in the future of our City,” Newbery said.

She would like to see equal representation on council as well.

“Right now there are two women and three men and (I would) hope to see another woman as a council member.”

Newbery was born in Murrayville and has lived in Langley most of her life.

She currently lives and works in Langley City and can be seen frequently walking Da-kota, her boxer.

She obtained her ac-counting diploma at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and bought her fi rst Coffee News franchise in 2005.

She grew the busi-ness until she owned six franchises; North and South Langley, Clo-verdale, Fleetwood, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

She sold the business in 2013.

In 2011 while still op-erating Coffee News, Newbery started a bookkeeping business under her corporation Rheanew Business Solutions Inc.

She is an active member of the Great-er Langley Chamber of Commerce and for many years served on the board of directors.

During her term on the board she was the Community Direc-tor for South Langley, chaired the Business Showcase and was a member of the events committee.

Newbery serves on the Board of Directors of Langley Lodge and volunteers with the Big Brothers/Big Sisters in-school mentoring pro-gram.

She was involved with the Langley In-ternational Festival for three years, holding the position of presi-dent for one year.

Newbery served two years with the Langley Canada Day Society, with one of those years as vice president.

She has volunteered with VTEA (Valley Therapeutic Equestri-an Association), and the Disabled Games.

MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter

After serving 30 years with the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, retiring ex-ecutive director Lynn Whitehouse says she’s looking for a new job.

“My comment that I do make is that I still haven’t decided what I want to be when I grow up, but I think I’m growing up so I better hurry up and try some-thing else,” she said with a laugh.

Whitehouse will of-fi cially retire from her position on June 30, making her the longest serving executive di-rector of a Chamber of Commerce in B.C.

When asked about her legacy to Langley Whitehouse was hum-ble, replying “it’s not what I gave, it’s what I’m going to take away.”

She said she’s had “tremendous expe-riences” in her ca-reer, and has enjoyed watching the com-munity evolve, trav-elling throughout B.C. and Canada with the Chamber and working with some “incredible people.”

“It’s mostly the peo-ple — unfortunately many who are now de-parted — but most who are still here, which is wonderful,” she said.

“I was in awe of these people.”

Some of White-house’s proudest achievements include helping stop the Alder-grove border crossing from closing to truck traffi c in 2012, work-ing with municipal governments to imple-ment mobile business licences and indulging her inner “geek” by learning about govern-ment processes.

Board president Scott Johnston said White-house’s leadership

has made the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce “highly re-spected” in the Cham-ber network through-out Canada.

“Because of her vast experience, our Cham-ber is often looked upon to provide lead-ership and assistance to others, and Langley is very active on the advocacy front dealing with issues that affect the growth of business in Langley’s commu-nity of communities,” Johnston stated in a press release.

“The board of direc-tors has commenced the succession pro-cess to new leadership, and will rely on Lynn’s incisive guidance to ensure a smooth tran-sition over the coming months.

“Lynn is a dynamo. We have big shoes to fi ll.”

The growing price of vegetablesI overheard two gentleman

talking and one stated that he always gave his wife expensive fl owers for Valentine’s Day so this year he was giving her cau-lifl ower. Every time we turn on the news lately, we see some-one standing in a grocery store shaking their head at the cost of lettuce.

Now, two heads are not better than one.

The ‘experts’ try to get us to believe that the cost of veggies is rising because of the falling dollar and transportation costs but we’ll nev-er know if that is true or not. So much goes on in board rooms across the con-tinent that we will never know about, and prices of commodities are raised at a whim.

People talk about the old days when they paid 25 cents a gallon for gas but they were only making a buck and a half an hour.

If you prepared a chart for cost of food and fuel against wages over the years you would see we are not really any worse or better off than we were back then.

The big difference is that very few people have a vegetable garden plot in their backyard or a root cellar where

they can store their produce over the winter.

The big conglomerates are very aware of this and so they have us at their mercy.

Many nights one of us kids was sent out to the root house to get carrots or potatoes or preserves of some sort. Nobody jumped in the car and drove down to the corner grocery store to get food for dinner.

There is always controversy about the conditions the vege-

tables are grown in today. Pesticides, hormones and what else might be ap-plied, but if nothing is applied and they are grown ‘organically’ they are more expensive.

Figure that out.Recently, it was announced that an

Okanagan farmer has developed an apple that won’t turn brown after it is cut open.

Why is this important to anyone? The critics shout that this is genetic al-tering and should not be allowed.

Did we not cause a huge problem in the beginning by playing with an ap-ple when we had been told to leave it alone?

Obviously we are slow learners. Can we soon expect bananas that stay yel-

low forever or multi colored eggs that come straight from the chickens at Easter?

I was raised on vegetables grown in rich brown dirt mixed with chicken or steer manure and I have no idea if that is considered organic or not. I just remember there being plenty for our family and anyone else who came around in the fall. If you stopped at our house to ask directions, you left with a bag full of zucchinis, tomatoes and Swiss chard.

If you calculate what you spend on your lawn each year you may be sur-prised how much it costs to make your yard look nice for the neighbours. Con-sider digging it all up and planting veg-etables this year and encourage your neighbours to do the same.

I recall many a fi ne cup of coffee shared over the fence comparing the height of my corn with my neighbour’s crop.

We old timers have seen the dollar go up and down, the prices of food and gas go up and down, over and over again.

You can complain in vain or go with the fl ow.

The good times will come back, they always do.

At least that’s what McGregor says.

We are about to celebrate our fourth Family Day in B.C. and some of us are not happy about the timing.

Andrew Johns, for one.He will be working on the second Monday of the

month because he works in the fi nancial markets and the rest of the country won’t be taking that day off.

Six other Canadian provinces have a holiday in February, but they all happen on the third Mon-day.

So do our American cousins, who will be cele-brating Presidents Day on Feb. 15.

Johns, who says he would like a day off with his wife and children, is petitioning the provin-cial government to move Family Day to the third Monday of the month.

So far, he’s gathered 17,000 signatures online.The Surrey Board of Trade has also called on the

provincial government to move B.C.’s day off into line with every one else.

Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman says be-cause the B.C. holiday happens when the rest of Canada and the U.S. is working, many people here can’t take the day off because their col-leagues elsewhere are working.

So why is B.C. so out of synch?A little recent history is in order.Back in 2011, when the provincial government

decided B.C. residents deserved a break between New Year’s Day and Easter, it did an online poll that found a majority of those who participated, preferred the second Monday, precisely because it was on a day when the rest of North America would be working.

The reasoning was B.C. residents would have less trouble getting into vacation destinations with the rest of Canada and the U.S. working.

As the Wikipedia entry notes, as a new holiday, “there are no traditional activities that are asso-ciated with (Family day).”

Except, perhaps, for complaining about the tim-ing of it.

What do you think? Should B.C. move the hol-iday to match the rest of Canada and the U.S.?

Or is the advantage of time off when everyone else is working worth keeping?

Editor: As a Langley City tax-payer since the early 1980s and someone who is planning to vote in the byelection, I would like to know if there will be an all-candidates meeting or de-bate hosted?

I believe voters who partic-ipate in civic elections — few that they are — would like to have an opportunity to inquire about the candidates’ position on certain challenges before the City.

One of the concerns I harbour is the ever returning amalgama-tion debate with regard to City/ Township that occurs at general election time.

This will not be an issue for this election in general, however I would not like to see us pro-vide the Township with a proac-tive City councillor that would support amalgamation.

If memory serves, Mel Kos-itsky supported the amalgama-tion attempt some time ago, I would also question Serena Oh on her position.

Both were or are involved with Township politics.

Carol Gran from days gone by has stepped up to the election bid, hopefully she will bring ideas and an outlook that’s not from days gone by.

Rest assured, I have no agenda

other than to see if we can have an opportunity to pose ques-tions to these individuals with regard to the running of Langley City’s interests.

In closing I hope everyone with the right to vote comes out and participates in this vote Feb. 27 Remember this is the fi rst level of government with their hands our pockets.

MF CAMPBELL,

LANGLEY CITY

Editor’s note: an all-candidates forum has now been scheduled. It will take place at 1 p.m. on Feb. 22 at the Langley Seniors Resources Centre.

Editor: We have nine candidates running for one seat on council.

Looking at some of the people running, it appears to me they are just looking for a part time job that pays $36,000 a year.

One exception is Nathan Pachal, who ran in the last City election and lost by a mere 71

votes.Even after losing the election,

he has continued to help his community, serving on the Parks and Environment Committee.

Hearing concerns from the community regarding garbage in the fl ood plain and Portage Park, he brought the issue to the

attention of City Council, which resulted in a cleanup of the area.

When Nathan heard the City received funding to rebuild 203 Street, he reached out to me and other residents in the neighbour-hood.

He worked on a plan that would create a safer 203 Street, improv-

ing the quality of life for people who live there.

At 32, Nathan is an ambitious, intelligent (senior IT engineer) and young individual who would be a tremendous asset to City Council.

To have someone who contin-ues to advocate for a better com-

munity — even when an election is not pending — speaks vol-umes.

To me, Nathan Pachal is the candidate to vote for in the City byelection on Feb. 27.

Editor: I just wanted to thank writer Miranda Gath-ercole for the article about my nephew (Couple over-whelmed by community’s support The Times, Jan. 22.)

I am in Lincoln, Neb. and it is so nice to see that he has great friends and commu-nity supporting him during this time.

I appreciate the article and may God watch out after you and your family.

Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Grateful for community

Editor: I cannot believe that 73 per cent of people (who respond-ed to the Langley Times’ online poll) said ‘No’ to setting aside land as a designated camp for the homeless.

What is wrong with people? It just saddens me to think

people care so little for others. I believe we should go one step further and set aside land, then

build hostels that are warm, safe and comfortable.

If they can affor to spend $12 million to build bicycle lanes in Vancouver, that just doesn’t equate.

It’s time we started to set up priorities about what is import-ant and what isn’t.

JOY RAYMOND,

Response to poll on homelessness was disheartening

Editor: I was taken by ambulance on Jan. 3 to Langley Memorial Hospital after spending fi ve days in bed with pain I did not recognize.

But fi nally, I told my husband that I have to go. Thank God I did.After arriving at the hospital and having several procedures done

to me, maybe three or four hours went by and a doctor came to me and said, “(You) had better call (your) family and let them know that I have to operate on you.”

I was fl oored. So that night I had my appendix out; it burst when he did it.

If I had been home I would have been a goner. I was on the second fl oor and I was moved four times. My point is

that Langley nurses were angels from God. They are the most caring nurses I have ever encountered. They smile and are patient and lov-ing. When I cried, they hugged me.

I also have to thank my doctor for saving my life. I wouldn’t be home now except for him.

Thank you Langley hospital I now feel fantastic.SHIRLEY BENNISON,

GARY AHUJATimes Reporter

It was while he was living in Kitsilano that Lance Verhoeff found the next step in his career.

Living in the trendy Vancouver neighbourhood while his wife Marissa was earning her teaching certifi cate at UBC, Verhoeff dis-covered his next venture.

“The inspiration came from all the breweries my wife and I ex-perienced when we were living in Vancouver two years ago,” he explained.

“You almost see every little town and every big metro city popping up with a bunch of brew-eries and when we moved back, we realized that Langley was a lit-tle bit of a black hole in the craft brewery scene.”

“That is where the vision and passion started from.”

This was about 18 months ago. Verhoeff scoured the area for lo-cations to fi ll the void, and the Trading Post Brewing Company is set to open its doors at 107 20120 64 Ave. on Feb. 13.

The name is a nod to Langley’s rich history as a trading post.

The craft beer scene has a cou-ple of key components, Verhoeff explained.

The fi rst is having a tasting room or lounge area on site, where people can come in and enjoy a pint right at the brewery where the beer is produced. The

second is the fact customers can come in and purchase a growler — a refi llable one or two-litre bot-tle — to take home with them.

The brewery has six beers on tap that Verhoeff describes as unique and adventurous.

For example, there is a break-fast stout, which is brewed using dark roasted malt and cold ex-tracted coffee from Fort Langley’s Republica Roasters. The jet black oatmeal stout features notes of chocolate and espresso and is de-scribed as big, bold and surpris-ingly smooth.

But another aspect of the craft brewery scene is that it brings people together to engage, col-laborate and mingle over a pint of local beer.

“Our goal is to inspire people to build relationships and create community by offering an in-viting tasting room in the same space we brew our beer,” he said.

“You won’t fi nd any TVs or loud music in the tasting room.

“(And) being in such a busy area, we felt that for commuters coming and going home, it is a great place to stop in and pick up a growler or fi ll a growler.”

Originally, Verhoeff had hoped to fi nd a location in Fort Langley, close to where he lives. Unable to fi nd a suitable location in the village, they changed the plan to Willoughby.

They are also working on an eatery and taphouse in Fort Lang-ley — on Glover Road and 96 Ave-nue — which is expected to open this spring once renovations are complete.

Verhoeff moved to Langley from

Calgary to attend Trinity Western University and play on the Spar-tans basketball team.

He studied business, earning his bachelor of arts in corporate fi nancing in 2011. He spent the next few years working in sales, fi rst in the technology industry and then in the power tool indus-

try, before venturing off to start his business.

Verhoeff will handle the busi-ness side of things while he has assembled a strong team for the day-to-day operations.

John Ohler is handling sales and business development, as well as serving as the director of brew-

ery and culinary operations, and Tony Dewald is the brewmaster.

“It was a diffi cult process to fi nd this team, but now that we do, it is just making a world of differ-ence,” Verhoeff said.

“They have a ton of experience and are creating something awe-some here.”

BUSINESSGary Ahu ja | 604.514.6754 | bus iness@lang ley t imes.com

Langley’s Lance Verhoeff is the owner of Trading Post Brewery, a new craft brewery in Willoughby. It is set to open next Friday (Feb. 13). He will also open an eatery and taphouse in Fort Langley this spring.


Co-op Community Spac-es was launched in 2015 to help protect, beautify and improve spaces in commu-nities across Western Can-ada. In its inaugural year,

the program funded 16 projects in British Colum-bia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

“From creek rehabili-tation to gardens to play spaces for toddlers, the projects selected for fund-ing last year showcased the innovation and dedi-cation of local community groups,” said Jack Nichol-son, the general manager

of Otter Co-op. “Because I know our

communities in the Lower Mainland area have their own unique ideas for spac-es that could be built or improved, I would encour-age our local community groups to consider apply-ing.”

To qualify, organiza-tions must be a registered non-profi t, registered char-

ity or community service co-operative. Administered by Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL) on behalf of the Co-operative Retailing System (CRS), Co-op Com-munity Spaces will provide donations between $25,000 and $100,000 to recipients. Because of the increased funding, the program will support up to 60 communi-ty projects in 2016.

Funding is available to projects in three categories:

• Recreation: Enhancing recreation opportunities such as recreation centres and playgrounds;

• Environmental conser-vation: Preserving natural spaces such as green spac-es, parks and interpretive centres; and

• Urban agriculture: Sup-porting small-scale agricul-

tural initiatives in rural and urban spaces such as com-munity gardens and food education facilities.

Applications for the 2016 Co-op Community Spaces program will be accepted until Feb. 12.

For more details about this year’s program — and to see last year’s recipients at work — see www.com-munityspaces.ca.

A new after-school math learning centre in Langley is celebrating their grand open-ing by hosting a community math festival on Monday.

The centre operates on the core belief that virtually any child can become great at math.

“We’re excited about this opportunity to introduce our-selves to the Langley commu-nity and demonstrate to area residents how Mathnasium forges a positive attitude to-ward math among kids,” said Dr. Sylvia McLellan, the owner and centre director.

“We’ve had great success in boosting students’ math skills and their understanding of mathematical concepts. Math can be intimidating to both

students and parents, so we hope the grand opening cel-ebration will show some of how the Mathnasium method makes it interesting and fun.”

The centre will hold an open house from 1 to 4 p.m. with light refreshments, math games for all ages and skill lev-els, prizes and giveaways.

Mathnasium offers kids from Kindergarten to Grade 12 fun and effective after-school math programs. Its sole focus is math, and its unique meth-od combines mental, verbal, visual, tactile, and written techniques to maximize suc-cess. Programs are tailored to each child’s individual needs and are designed to make math make sense to each and every child, build confi dence,

and enable independent prob-lem-solving.

Additionally, Mathnasium of-fers kids who are already good at math the chance to acceler-ate even further, challenging them to work their math mus-cles and become all-stars.

“We look forward to offer-ing parents and students the chance to see how we func-tion, meet our instructors, learn about our curriculum, and observe fi rsthand some of the accomplishments we’re so proud of,” Dr. McLellan adds.

The Langley location — which is at 120 8661 201 St. — is the fourth in the Lower Mainland and one of 20 Math-nasium franchises across Can-ada. There are nearly 500 loca-tions in the U.S. and abroad.

Learning centre focused on teaching math skills

Q: How much toothpaste should I be using for my child?

Dr. Cheung, DMD Dentist

A S K T H E E X P E R T • A S K T H E E X P E R T

A: Because we live in an area where the city tap water is not fl uoridated, all children should be using a fl uoridated toothpaste while brushing their teeth. Children from the ages of 0 to 3 should have their teeth and gums brushed by an adult, twice a day, with a “rice grain”-sized amount of toothpaste. Children aged 3 to 6 should have their toothbrushing assisted by an adult, and use a “green pea”-sized amount of toothpaste. Adult assistance is required for a child until he/she has developed adequate manual dexterity to brush their teeth for a full two minutes, twice a day. Also, supervision is important to ensure that the child is spitting out the toothpaste, as opposed to swallowing it, to minimize the risk of dental fl uorosis (white speckling of the teeth).

Snow and Ice Control ProgramIn winter weather conditions, the Township of Langley maintains its municipal roads according to priorities laid out in its Snow and Ice Control Program (Policy No 05-732). Snow plowing begins when the depth of snow exceeds 100 mm (4 inches) and conditions are continuous.

Snow and Ice Control Priority Routes:

First Priority RoutesArterial roads, major collector roads, bus routes, hilly areas, and school zones

First priority routes are serviced on a continuous basis as long as poor driving conditions exist.

Second Priority RoutesIndustrial and commercial roads, secondary residential through-roads between arterial and/or major collector roads

Second priority routes are serviced only after conditions on fi rst priority routes are determined to be under control.

Third Priority RoutesAll remaining residential roads

When snow accumulation exceeds 250 mm (10 inches) in the centre of the travel portion of the road, as measured by a Township roads superintendent, a pass of a plow may be made. Intersection sanding and salting will be completed when conditions warrant.

Be safe this winter. Visit tol.ca/stormresponse for all storm-related safety tips and materials. And sign up for eAlerts to be informed of any emergency issues. Visit tol.ca/eAlert to join the list for email notifi cations.

Flooding: Preventative MaintenanceWhile Township crews routinely inspect culvert trash racks and storm systems to make sure they are functioning effi ciently, conditions can change rapidly during storm season.

You can do your part to reduce fl ooding risks by completing some of these simple preventative maintenance measures:

• Clear nearby curbs and catch basins of leaves and debris, especially during heavy rain, as water running off the street will carry more leaves and debris into the curb.

• Do not rake leaves from your property or boulevard onto the street or into open ditches.

• Collect and compost leaves on site or bag them for future pickup.

• Clear debris that has collected in driveway culverts and resulted in blockages and check ditches in front of your property for blockages.

To report fl ooding problems that are not directly related to your property or to report fl ooding occurring on municipal property, phone 604.532.7300 between 8:30am and 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, or call 604.543.6700 after hours.

Engineering Division 604.532.7300 [email protected]

Hired Equipment Pre-Qualifi cationThe Township of Langley invites submissions from qualifi ed contractors to be included on a pre-qualifi ed list for hired equipment. Submissions will be received until 4pm on Monday, February 29, 2016 at the Purchasing Departmemt.

Contractors submitting pre-qualifi cation submissions must consent to the Township of Langley verifying the information provided on their submission.

Forms and further information can be found on the Township of Langley website at tol.ca under Doing Business with the Township or picked up from the Township of Langley Purchasing Department, on the main fl oor of the Operations Centre at 4700 - 224 Street.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Home may be where the heart is – and because of developments in technology for senior care – it’s where health can be too. From a social point of view, technology helps seniors stay connected to loved ones through e-mail and social media. It’s also helping seniors to stay in their home’s well into their eighties, while improving their safety. With the use of remote monitoring devices, like online updates on blood pressure, technology is making homes more safe and secure.Motion detectors can be used to track a person’s movement inside the home, and can be placed on the fl oor to detect if a person has fallen. Th is detection device will then notify a caregiver. In-home technologies can range from monitoring devices like lighting, motion sensors, video cameras, emergency assistance programs and alerts. “Seniors are no diff erent than anyone else,” says Jacqueline Blackwell, Fraser Health Public Aff airs, “they want to stay in their own surroundings and retain their freedom.”Fraser Health is developing more services in the community to help older adults stay healthy, stay out of hospital and stay in their homes rather than be admitted to residential care. Th ere are plenty of

support services available, including referral to the Red Cross Health Equipment Loan Program to borrow a bath seat, walker, wheelchair, lift , hospital bed, or other necessary equipment for a short time if you can’t aff ord to rent from a private vendor, and a subscription to Lifeline. “We believe seniors have the right to live independently, but we want to make sure they always have access to emergency assistance, so Lifeline is a personal alarm that they can pay for a basic service, which gives them access to help at the push of a button,” says Blackwell.

Th e Canadian Red Cross provides a short-term loan program for basic mobility aids such as wheelchairs, walkers, bath seats and benches, commodes and toilet seats, crutches and canes, bed handles and other durable medical equipment.Th ey also off er a short-term loan program for advanced equipment such as beds, lift s, and mattresses, four-wheeled walkers and wheelchair cushions as well as additional sizes and variations of standard equipment. Th is program is to support clients with complex care needs to allow them to be discharged from hospital sooner or remain at home longer.Th e equipment loan program supports Fraser Health’s ‘Home is Best’ philosophy – home, not

hospital or residential care, is the best place to continue to recover from an illness/injury, to manage long-term conditions, while receiving health care supports.Any physiotherapist, occupational therapist, registered nurse, or physician can make basic equipment referrals. Advanced equipment requires the referral of a physiotherapist or occupational therapist from the Home Health program.Fraser Health off ers plenty of other programs available for seniors hoping to live at home longer, such as Meals on Wheels – a frozen meal delivery program. Better at Home (Betterathome.ca) is a non-profi t organization that provides non-medical services that vary by community but may include friendly visiting, transportation to appointments, light yard work, minor home repairs, snow shoveling, light housekeeping, and grocery shopping. BC 2-1-1 connects you to an information and referral specialist with numbers for all community, government and social services, and 8-1-1 Healthlink is a free health advice from a nurse; nutrition information from a dietitian, advice about drugs and pills from a pharmacist, available 24/7.What can family members personally do to ensure their elderly loved ones are getting the kind of

at-home services they need? It all comes down to awareness. “Family members can assist by being aware and keeping track of how their parents are doing,” she says. “Th is mean checking in and making sure they maintain contact if their parents have a case manager.”If someone reaches a point where their complex health needs require

access to services that are more around the clock, they can be assessed for residential care, which is something their case manager can do, adds Blackwell. We're just beginning to understand how technology can support the desire to live at home longer, and luckily, the young and the elderly are benefi ting along the way.

SENIORS AT HOME

Langley Rugby Club’s Stu Morrison (with ball) is grabbed by a member of the Richmond Rugby Club during First Division action at LRC’s home fi eld on Crush Crescent on Saturday afternoon. Kolby Brezden (left to right), Mike Thomsen and John Bright came up to provide support to their teammate during Langley’s 12-7 victory. The Langley Second Division side was also victorious, defeating Richmond 20-0. And the LRC women’s Second Division squad was on the road, winning 35-5 over Scribes RFC at Vancouver’s Rupert Park.


TWU star

getting cut

Mannes leads Spartans to fi rst victoryThe Trinity Western Spartans are

winless no more.Led by Canada West second star of

the week, Lucas Mannes, the Spar-tans defeated the Brandon Bobcats 87-78 on Saturday night at the Lang-ley Events Centre.

The Bobcats had beat TWU 98-87 the night before and both teams are now 1-13.

The Spartans point guard had 36 points, six rebounds, fi ve assists and fi ve steals.

The teams were tied after three quarters, but TWU outscored Bran-don 25-16 over the fi nal 12 minutes.

Kelvin Smith (18 points, nine re-bounds, two steals) and Vartan Tan-ielian (12 points) also added to the cause.

“Lucas, scored a lot, but he also played a really smart game at the end, managing the clock and the score,” commented TWU head coach Aaron Muhic on his point guards performance.

In Friday’s loss, Smith led the Spar-tans with 31 points while Mannes had 20 and Patrick Vandervelden had 11 points, 11 rebounds and fi ve blocked shots.

The Spartans women’s basketball also split their home weekend set with Brandon, winning the opener 87-81 before losing the rematch 74-69.

“Getting the win on Friday and having some outstanding individu-al efforts sometimes hurts us more the next night, because we forget

how much more our opponent is going to want it the next night,” said TWU head coach Cheryl Jean-Paul.

Jessie Brown led the Spartans in the loss with 18 points while Tes-sa Ratzlaff had 13 points, nine re-bounds and three steals.

In the victory, Ratzlaff led the way with 29 points as she was one of fi ve Spartans to hit double fi gures.

Both Spartan teams are in Edmon-ton this weekend to face Alberta.

•••The Trinity Western Spartans

worked some overtime over the weekend, picking up the extra point both nights on the road.

The men’s hockey team won 3-2 in overtime over the Selkirk Saints on Jan. 29 and then prevailed 5-4 in a

shootout over the Eastern Washing-ton Eagles the next night.

The Spartans improved to 11-5-0-1 and they sit one point back of Selkirk and SFU for top spot in the B.C. Inter-collegiate Hockey League.

“We’re fi nding ways to get these games loaded onto the bus and come home with four points,” said Spartans coach Barret Kropf. “We were down and had to fi ght back in both games but the guys put in re-ally gritty effort. We’re pretty banged up, with lots of nicks and bruises, so I thought the guys did a tremendous job of battling through that to come out with the victory.”

The Spartans play SFU in a home-and-home series beginning tonight (Friday) at the Langley Events Centre.

How much is a pony tail worth?

That is what Trini-ty Western Spartans women’s volleyball player Sophie Carpenti-er wants to know.

The fourth-year out-side hitter will be cut-ting off her pony tail be-tween the second and third sets of the Spar-tans men’s volleyball game on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre.

Carpentier and her teammates — the top-ranked team in the country — play at 5 p.m. with the men’s game set to follow at 7 p.m.

Carpentier is doing this in support of a close friend who is bat-tling cancer. The money raised will go to the Ca-nadian Cancer Society while the hair will go to Locks of Love.

“For those of you who don’t know me at all, you’ve probably noticed I have very long hair for a large portion of my life,” she wrote on her GoFundMe page.

“My hair is part of my identity and I didn’t think I would be cutting it any time soon. I nev-er thought I would have the courage to do this, but when I was recent-ly shown a picture of a very close friend going through treatment, I looked at my hair and it lost all the value I had poured into it.

“I looked at that pic-ture of my beautiful friend, with no hair. She was gorgeous just as she was.”

As of Thursday morn-ing, she has raised $1,250.

MON, FEB. 8, 1:00PMChilliwack Chiefs vs Langley Rivermen


After snapping out of a losing streak with a pair of impres-sive victories over the weekend, the Vancou-ver Giants were on the wrong end of a 6-2 score Wednesday night.

The Giants lost to the Spokane Chiefs at the Pacifi c Coliseum.

The Western Hockey League team had lost six of seven games heading into last weekend — following an impressive 11-5-2 run — by edging the Kamloops Blazers 4-3 in overtime last Fri-day in Kamloops and then doubling the league-leading Leth-

bridge Hurricanes 4-2 the next night in Van-couver.

The Giants took the lead three times in regulation time against the Kamloops Blazers, but each time their B.C. Division op-ponents tied the game.

But Ty Ronning scored with two seconds to play in overtime for the game-winner.

Ryan Kubic picked up the win in the Van-couver goal, stopping 36 of 39 shots.

And against Leth-bridge, Vancouver

fell behind 2-0 before scoring the game’s fi -nal four goals.

Brennan Menell had a goal and two assists while Chase Lang had a goal and an assist. Lang also scored both goals against Spokane.

Vancouver is 20-28-3-2 and they sit seven points back of the fi nal playoff spot.

The Giants host the Calgary Hitmen to-night (Friday) and then welcome the Edmon-ton Oil Kings to town on Monday for a 2 p.m. matinee on Family Day.

Giants win two of three

Fraser Valley loses bird fi ghtA pair of losses against the league’s top team

has the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds in the midst of a three-game losing streak.

The B.C. Major Midget Hockey League squad lost 5-1 at the Langley Events Centre last Friday (Jan. 29) and then fell 6-2 in the rematch the next day at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre to the Valley West Hawks.

The losses dropped Fraser Valley to 14-12-6 on the season.

Justin Plett (Abbotsford) had the lone T-Birds marker in game one while Logan Hunter (Lang-ley) and Andrew Sorenson (Abbotsford) scored in the rematch.

Things don’t get any easier for Fraser Valley this weekend as they host the second-place Cariboo Cougars twice at Abbotsford’s Centre Ice.

Credo Christian Kodiaks’ Rueben Sikma collides with Langley Fundamental Titans Sajjan Grewal during junior boys basketball at Langley Funda-mental Secondary last week (Jan. 27).

GARY AHUJA Langley Times

Lucas Ly has received some lofty praise.

The seven-year-old from Langley — who took up golf less than two years ago and al-ready has a hole-in-one on his resume — has won the peewee

division title (ages 7 and 8) for the best golf swing in the world.

The contest has parents send-ing a video of their child’s swing to Florida’s Little Linksters for judging. This year’s celebrity judges included Jordan Speith

and Lydia Ko, two of the world’s top golfers, as well as other PGA professionals and Golf Channel hosts on the panel.

There was a record number of entries, including entrants from 14 countries.

A bigger and better Family Day event is set for Monday at the Langley Events Centre.

The second annual event runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. with the whole day by donation and 100 per cent of the proceeds going local charities.

Last year’s event raised $11,000.This year’s recipients are the Township Fire-

fi ghters Charitable Foundation, Basics for Babies and Life Ready.

The LEC fi eldhouse will be fi lled with activity stations, ranging from bouncy castles, a Velcro wall and Sumo wrestling to obstacle courses and a tug-of-war.

And as part of the day’s events, the Langley Riv-ermen junior A hockey game against Chilliwack at 1 p.m. will be by donation.

Mr. Canuck Mark Donnelly will sing the nation-al anthem at both the Family Day event and the Rivermen game.

Sports fans will also get the chance to meet Edmonton Eskimos Grey Cup winner Justin So-renson as well as members of the B.C. Lions, Vancouver Stealth and Langley Rams. The teams’ mascots will be in attendance as well.

LEC will be hopping for Family Day

Safety Tip:

WATCH FOR NASTY

WEATHER

‘‘The driverless or self-driving car is rapidly moving from concept to reality and fully autonomous cars will likely arrive sooner than you think.’’Bob McHugh

At the Los Angeles auto show the centrepiece of the Volvo display was its Concept 26 interior for an auton-omous vehicle. In autopilot mode, this cockpit can transform into a mobile office, or the driver can watch a movie or simply recline and relax. Hey, you might even look forward to that boring repetitive commute to work. The driverless or self-driving car is rapidly moving from concept to re-ality and fully autonomous cars will likely arrive sooner than you think. In fact, many currently available new vehicles already have limited autonomous driving capability. A 2016 Acura MDX I drove recently is a good example, as now comes standard with the award winning AcuraWatch package. A grouping of high-tech systems, AcuraWatch can prevent the new MDX from straying out of a traffic lane, getting too close to a vehicle ahead and it will brake automatically to avoid an im-pact with another vehicle, or a pedestrian. While it could effectively drive itself on a freeway, a warning alert sounded if I dared take both hands off the steering wheel for a few seconds. Later this year, Cadillac will introduce Super Cruise Control, in it’s new 2017 CT6 and CTS models. In addition to other advances, this sys-tem will allow a driver to take both hands off the steering wheel at highway speeds. Another step

closer to full-autonomy. Sure, there are all sorts of regu-latory, legal and insurance issues to be resolved in order to allow driverless operation of a vehicle. There are also road infrastructure issues that need to be addressed, including, and probably most im-portantly, expanded and consistent high-bandwidth coverage. On the plus side, however, autonomous vehicles are expected to reduce and perhaps eventually eliminate vehicle collisions and ease traffic congestion. Volvo logically (it’s a Swedish trait) figure that autonomous driving will initially be introduced on dedicated motorways. Its focus is

on the long-haul trip and the daily commute to work, which it calculates as taking 26 minutes (on average) - hence the Concept 26 name.A fleet of Volvo vehicles with an autonomous driving mode will be put in the hands of real customers in Gothenburg, Sweden next year. A driver will be able to switch into the autonomous mode for a predetermined period (depending on distance and traffic flow) between motorway exits. BMW, on the other hand, is heavily involved in developing a self-parking vehicle technology, using a BMW i3. Remote Valet Parking Assis-tance includes a unique 360-degree collision avoidance protection system that uses four

advanced laser scanners.Using a smart phone or watch a driver can instruct the vehicle to go park itself in a multi-level park-ing lot. The driverless car then takes off on its own, autonomously self-steering through the building, seeking an empty stall to park, shutdown and lock itself. Robo Bimmer can also be started remotely and summoned to pick up its driver at the same entry/exit location.Every major auto maker is stepping up work on autonomous vehicle technology. Toyota, GM and Mercedes-Benz are all heavily invested in autono-mous vehicle development and expected to bring products to market. Ford recently announced that it’s tripling the size of its autonomous vehicle development fleet and accelerating on-road testing, which starts in California later this year. Its demo vehicle is a Fusion Hybrid sedan with puck-power, a new Solid-State Hybrid-Ultra Puck Auto sensor. About the same size and shape as a hockey puck, this puck can map and create real-time 3D models of its surrounding environment. Autonomous vehicle development also transcends traditional auto production sources. Google, the internet search engine and browser behemoth, surprised everybody back in 2010, when its auton-omous vehicle development work was revealed. It’s now working with a number of traditional automakers and is expected to have a fully auton-omous vehicle ready for market by 2020. Other Silicon Valley giants getting on autonomous vehicle action include Tesla and Uber. Yes, of course, they’re working on a Robo-Taxi. Not sure

what they have planned for the in-trip friendly customer conversation but it should be interesting.Please note, “automated” is arguable a more ac-curate but less widely used descriptive term than “autonomous” for the new generation of self-driv-ing vehicles. Early self-driving vehicle experiments were done with vehicles that generally relied on a magnetic strip embedded in the road and were typically called automated vehicles. A brave new world of motoring is almost upon us.

Waska, DrewIt is with true sadness that we

announce the passing of Drew Thomas Waska, on Wednesday, January 27th with his family by his side.

Born June 8th, 1960 in Murraryville, he grew up in Fort Langley and spent his childhood and adult life there. As a young man of 14 he purchased his first fishing vessel follo ing in his father’s footsteps as a commercial fisherman.

His love of Fort Langley and his area was reflected in his community involvement with the Fort Langley Lions. His enthusiasm for aquaculture carried over in his role as a previous president and current volunteer at the Nicomekl Enhancement Society. When Drew was not volunteering, his time was devoted to his grandchildren – they were his ultimate joy.

Drew is survived by his son Kelin Waska (Alyssa), grand-son Riley and granddaughter Alexis; sister’s Marnie Loutet (Stuart) & Sherry Sissons (John). He is predeceased by his father Harry & mother Marjorie.

Drew’s service will be held at Henderson’s Funeral Home,

20786 Fraser Hwy, Langley on February 9th. Viewing at 1:30 p.m. and service at 3:00 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Nicomekl Enhancement Society.
