A fire destroyed much of a Langley Bypass complex.

ADVANCE POLL

How do you feel about the biennial time change from Pacific Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time and then back?

Langley City and Township firefighters battled a massive fire that gutted a commercial building on the Langley Bypass Tuesday night.

Langley City fire crews were alerted at 9:47 p.m., called by drivers who spotted the fire while passing the 20500 block.

The fire appeared to be worst in the Valley Motorsport shop and garage area when crews arrived, said Langley City FireRescue Chief Rory Thompson.

“When we got there, the fire was heavily involved in the south end of the building,” Thompson said.

The fire crews decided immediately they’d have to fight it defensively. It was too dangerous to send firefighters into the building, and there were no people inside at the time.

Last week’s question:

HEATHER COLPITTS

54%

11%

Cost of living/inflation

14%

I’m happy with how they spend

16%

I’m running in the next election

4%

However, the damage was severe, particularly at the south end of the building.

There is no indication yet of the cause, and an investigation may take some time.

The roof collapsed at the south end, and a structural engineer had to check the building Wednesday morning before fire investigators could enter.

Thompson said City FireRescue will be investigating the cause with the Langley RCMP. They will also be looking at surveillance footage from nearby buildings to see if there are any clues to the origin of the fire.

Crews were there almost 12 hours. The last crews arrived back at the firehall at 9:30 a.m.

School district told to find more cuts

Vote at:

Langley City approved a 2.95% tax increase. The Township is looking at 1.59-3.69%. What would you like?

Shortly after they arrived, the City crews called for Towship fire department mutual aid.

Three ladder trucks, three engines, and two rescue trucks brought 50 firefighters to the scene.

Loud bangs could be heard and thick smoke was still rising for a few hours after firefighters arrived on the scene.

Crews on ladder trucks doused the building from above while flames and sparks shot into the sky.

The fire spread into adjacent businesses in the block that contains a tile store and a radiator business.

Thompson said firefighters halted the fire’s progress at one of the firebreaks within the building.

EDUCATION

The government has told school districts to cut $54 million.

The Langley School District spends 3.2 per cent of its $186 million budget on administration and that’s too much for the provincial government.

School districts have been told to find $29 million in administrative cuts this year and another $24 million next year.

Langley’s secretary-treasurer David Green told the school

board at Tuesday evening’s meeting that the province hasn’t said exactly how much Langley must cut and he expects the figure will be announced Thursday (today).

He’s estimated that the amounts will be $1.9 million over the two years.

He noted that the district has added maintenance and grounds people as well as school and district level administration, adding the district has opened new schools.

About $27 million of the $35 Langley administration budget goes to wages.

Another $2.5 million goes to utilities and the rest for materials.

Trustee Megan Dykeman called the provincial order “ridiculous.”

“We need to get a little real here with the ministry at some point,” she said.

Dykeman said it’s no secret this government has spoken of amalgating boards and wonders how much more the district can cut.

“We’ve already got kids traipsing to school with paper and Kleenex. Maybe we can ask them to come with toilet paper,” she commented.

Trustee David Tod echoed her sentiment that cuts, even to admin, impact the classroom.

“Quite honestly we’re cutting bone and looking at program-

ming,” he said.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the government spends $5.2 billion on public kindergarten-to-Grade-12.

“It’s a very small amount when you really look at it,” he said of the $54 million.

School districts’ administration budget is about $368 million. Fassbender said districts should be spending about five per cent for administration.

“Without school districts finding efficiencies administrative costs would rise to almost seven per cent per cent of their budgets by 2019,” he said.

Arrest in massive mail theft

Giant piles of stolen mail have been recovered.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The discovery of a cache of thousands of pieces of stolen mail has led to the arrest of a Langley woman.

In early February, Langley RCMP recovered between 8,000 and 10,000 pieces of stolen mail from a Langley apartment complex.

The mail had been discovered by the owner of a storage locker in the complex, who contacted police when he realized the sig-

nificance of whe he had discovered, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley Mounties.

Several pieces of the mail were forensically examined, leading the RCMP back to 36-year-old Sarah Lea Arnet, who was a resident of the same apartment complex where the mail turned up.

Armed with a search warrant, investigators arrived at Arnet’s home on March 5.

Inside the home, police found about 6,000 pieces of stolen mail, identity cards, credit cards, computers, cellphones, and data storage devices.

The mail recovered wasn’t just from Langley.

Marks said it was from all over the Lower Mainland,

as well as from several communities in the B.C. Interior.

Arnet was arrested and held in custody. So far she has been charged with one count of identity theft and is scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on March 12.

As damaging as mail theft is to citizens, it’s the secondary frauds that follow that are even more invasive, said Supt.

Murray Power, head of the Langley RCMP detachment.

“We cannot stress enough – the greatest solution to the problem is also the easiest to invoke,” said Power. “We need everyone to collect your mail daily. If it is not there, it cannot be stolen.”

IMPORTANT ROAD CLOSURE NOTICE Fraser Hwy., at the Railway Crossing (just North of Production Way) will be completely closed between:

5:00am Saturday, March 14th to 10:00pm Sunday, March 15th to facilitate the reconstruction of the crossing and paving.

Fraudsters’ victims are not alone

H

ave you discovered that you’ve fallen for a scam?

And in retrospect, did the whole thing seem so obvious that you’re terribly embarrassed that you fell for it at all?

Indeed, you’re probably so embarrassed that you haven’t reported to police.

That’s what the scam artist is counting on: he or she is betting that, even if you figure out that you’ve been the victim of fraud, you’ll feel so downright stupid that you’ll let them get away with it… so they can go ahead and nail someone else.

The embarrassment card is especially effective in so-called “romance” scams.

And the RCMP note that, if you’ve been had, you’re not alone – far from it. In fact, you have more company than you probably realize… because of the embarrassment.

It all seems so harmless at first: a brief introduction between strangers, likely initiated via Facebook or through an online dating site. Communication begins. Frequency of messaging increases.

Conversations are intense. Photos are shared. Feelings develop. A relationship forms…

The ruses are deliberate, calculated money schemes created by experienced fraudsters to get as much money as possible, usually from lonely adults.

These people know what they are doing.

The cultivation of a relationship can take months, often building through flowers and small gifts, before the hints begin that all is not well.

At some point, an imagined trust is established, and requests for money begin.

The lines go something like this: “I’m desperate… It’s just this once… I promise… I will pay you back… I love you.”

It may be embarrassing to realize that you’ve been had… but it should be even more embarrassing to realize that you’re letting someone get away with it, and that you’ve effectively – if unwittingly – financed the fraudsters’ next project.

March is Fraud Prevention Month, and the RCMP want people to be wary – and to be aware that, the police are on their side and want to stop the victimization.

Politics as seen through moneyball

S

tay with me here, because we’re going to talk about how you can understand Canadian politics through repeated viewings of a Brad Pitt movie.

On Saturday, New Brunswick Converative MP John Williamson answered a question about the Temporary Foreign Workers Program by saying, “It makes no sense to pay ‘whities’ to stay home while we bring in brown people to work in these jobs.”

Whether you think this was more racist than stupid or more stupid than racist, let’s consider that Williamson is a fairly important Conservative figure – a former national director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and a former head of communications for the Prime Minister’s office.

This is seemingly terrible politics.

Unless it isn’t. Because it might not matter at all for the success or failure of his party, and that’s why we’re going to be talking about Brad Pitt movies.

I wasn’t that interested in Moneyball when it first came out, because I do not care one iota about baseball. But then I heard that it was largely about statistics and economics, and I was intrigued.

Letters to the editor

Property tax better to fund transit Dear Editor, While the Yes side proposes a regressive sales tax in the upcoming transit referendum to fund new public transit projects, I believe there is a better taxation solution to build these projects.

Condo-King Realtor Bob Rennie once quipped, “Whereas real estate demand is usually about location, location, location, in Vancouver it’s transportation, transportation, transportation.”

In Vancouver, transit has a significant effect in the value of your home; residences closer to transit routes are in higher demand than those situated away from them, which is why I believe a property tax that takes

into consideration the value gained in your home that is dependent on its proximity to transit should be the correct method to fund new projects.

Whereas a sales tax will hurt businesses in the region where consumers will either shop less or drive to the United States or Abbotsford, a property tax cannot be avoided. Those who choose to move away from the region in protest of such a tax become one less household in need of transit.

I doubt those inclined to vote No in the upcoming transit referendum are against expanding public transit, they’re against regressive and faulty forms of taxation.

Peter Lenko, Langley

Loss of Aldergrove forest disappointing Dear Editor, It was not a surprise that Township council rejected a compromise to preserve the three-acre Creekside Forest on March 2, but it was disappointing.

The vision of a forest available for generations in Aldergrove, as promoted by Jessica Horst and others, was appealing to me.

I was gratified that council voted to prevent 50 acres

of adjoining land from being subsumed into suburban Aldergrove. The adjoining land includes some forest adjacent to the Creekside Forest now destined to become a cul-de-sac.

The reason for Creekside not being protected: no trees worth preserving, except maybe one large cedar.

Just because the trees are “replaceable” does not mean the forest is replace-

Lagoon survives fish kill

Dear Editor, Members of the Langley Field Naturalist Society enjoyed a walkabout on Brydon Lagoon on Feb. 28, a sunny day that brought out a number of local and visiting bird species.

Lilianne Fuller photo Forty-one species of birds A common goldeneye male were identified, many of them fish-eating ducks, was among the water birds which demonstrated that, spotted in Brydon Lagoon. despite the large fish kill in August 2014, some fish have survived in the lagoon.

Species identified included the common golden eye, various mergansers, and despite the earliness of the season, a hummingbird and an angle butterfly.

able. A forest is much more than its trees – it includes the undergrowth and the wildlife as well.

The 20 houses planned for the three-acre cul-de-sac will presumably have manicured yards, and the many species of plants and animals that only occupy the second growth forest at Creekside will be lost. We don’t yet know which of those species will be lost.

It could take years of research to understand the second growth forest, but in the end, it might not be second rate. The second growth Blaauw Eco Forest in Glen Valley, being researched by Trinity Western University, is unveiling new secrets regularly.

My wish is that this forest at the edge of Aldergrove would have the same chance to reveal its secrets.

I realize that there are certain monetary realities facing council now, but I implore council to think of the next generation.

Weed salad on menu at seminar

A seminar focuses on the connection between gardening and daily life.

A local environmental group will show residents how to reduce their environmental footprint by growing their own food.

On Saturday, March 14, the annual Salmon Friendly Gardens Seminar will be presented by the Township of Langley and the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) to show residents how simple choices can make a world of difference.

The free event runs from 1 to 4:30 p.m. at the Township of Langley Civic Facility, 20338 65th Ave., and will feature a number of presentations by gardening experts. During the break, “weed salad” will be served to encourage people to eat their dandelions rather than spray them with pesticide, and heritage fruit trees will be sold after the sem-

inar is over. Space is limited. To register, email outreach@leps.bc.ca.

“This is an event that Langley gardeners get excited about,” said Kim Greenwood, special projects coordinator for LEPS. An Organic Master Gardener, Greenwood will explain how easily everything from strawberries to carrots to salads can be grown in small spaces during her Edible Container Gardens presentation.

“Growing your own food can reduce your ecological footprint because the food has to travel a much shorter distance and you have direct control over pesticide use,” she said.

Greenwood noted that one out of every three bites of food a person consumes is created with the help of pollinators, such as bees. But recent reports indicate that bees in the Lower Mainland are dying off.

“We can help the bees out by increasing the food available to them, while they help provide food for us,” she said. “Planting a food garden in a small space such as a

balcony or deck will help pollinators by providing nectar and pollen. For example, planting mint in a container on your deck is a great food source for bees, and fresh mint makes for a fabulous mojito!”

Having the right plant in the right place can also reduce frustration for gardeners and discourage reliance on cosmetic pesticides. During the Salmon Friendly Gardens Seminar, Susie Egan, a landscape designer, garden coach, and lecturer from Washington who was featured at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, will present Shade Gardening: Bring Beauty To Your Garden with Shade Loving Plants.

“A plant that requires full sun will be sickly looking if it is planted in the shade, and will continually be susceptible to infestation and fail to thrive,” Greenwood said. “No matter how much pesticides are applied, that plant will always be under attack because it is unhealthy.”

A legend on Vancouver Island, Cougar Annie will come to life in tales acted out by Katrina Kadoski at the Chief Sepass Theatre.

ougar Annie was one rugged gal.

Born in California and well travelled around the world, she chose the rough climate of the Boat Basin, just east up Hesquiat Harbour on the west side of Vancouver Island, to establish a home with her first husband and three young children.

Working independently, she carved out a five-acre garden on the property to feed her family and provide an income.

She sold plants and bulbs.

Those pesky cougars kept getting into her farm chickens and goats though, so she’d shoot them and collect the bounty to suppleKatrina Kadoski brings Vancouver Island’s famed Cougar Annie to life on the Chief Sepass ment her income.

Saturday’s show.

It’s just one stop in seven performances around the province.

“On Vancouver Island, Cougar Annie is legendary,” Statham noted.

Kadoski, also from Vancouver Island, obviously found Annie interesting.

The performer spent close to three years at the original Cougar Annie’s Garden (which is under the management of the Boat Basin Foundation) and read dozens of British Columbia history books on her quest to unearth details about who Annie really was and how she lived her life.

From this Kadoshi developed Cougar Annie Tales, a lively show which brings Katrina to life.

“I looked at the materials and I thought ‘what an awesome show’,” said Statham.

The narrative and musical aspects of the show are supplemented by Annie’s stories, letters, and even photos.

Tickets for the show are available in advance at Wendel’s Books, the Langley Fine Arts School, or at the Chief Sepass Theatre at 9096 Trattle St. in Fort Langley.

Tickets are $15 or $12 for students and seniors.

Good hearing, poor comprehension?

The number of people who can hear well, but can’t understand what’s being said, is increasing. This is most evident in conversations and watching television.

A newly-developed hearing chip is designed to restore speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.

A lot of people have poor comprehension, though they actually still hear well. It becomes noticeable in conversation, watching television and asking family to repeat what’s been said.

A potential cause can be undetected loss in the high-frequency range.

This means the sensory cells in the cochlea that hear high-range sounds are damaged as a result of circulatory disorders, diabetes, sudden hearing loss or workplace noise. Hearing loss in the high-frequency range makes speech sound muffled and unclear. The person with hearing loss mixes up, or can no longer hear, consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g. Speech comprehension is particularly impaired when there is background noise or when television programs have background music. The dilemma is that people with hearing loss in the high-frequency range do not consider themselves to have a

hearing problem. They can hear deep tones with no issue, and often put difficulty understanding speech down to unclear pronunciation. However, the time soon comes when problems with comprehension become annoying.

A new hearing chip has been developed.

Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing chip that restores speech comprehension, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. First, a hearing test and speech comprehension analysis is

done. Where inner-ear damage is present, a software program analyzes the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then input into the new Venture hearing chip in the Audéo V, which precisely takes into account and balances the frequency range of the person being tested. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds. According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation.

Hearing sensation!

Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

We Preach Christ Crucified The Moravian missionaries laboured in Greenland for five years without result. In the beginning of June, 1738, brother Beck, in speaking of the redemption of man, enlarged on the sufferings and death of our Saviour.

He then read to them the history of our Saviour’s agony in the garden. One of the company, named Kagarnak, exclaimed, “Tell me that once more, for I desire to be saved.” These words, which were such as had never before been uttered by a Greenlander, filled the soul of Beck with joy. Kagarnak became a sincere Christian, and was the first-fruits of a happy harvest.

The missionaries now determined to preach Christ and Him crucified in the literal sense of the words. There is no other way to be saved than by faith in the wounds of Christ.

ever in Langley Christian High School history has one of its basketball teams won a B.C. championship.

Until last weekend, that is.

Lightning struck at the senior girls B.C. provincial ‘A’ tournament, held in Lumby from March 4 to 7.

Ranked second in the province, LCH’s senior girls capped a perfect tournament run by toppling the top-seeded Mulgrave Titans from West Vancouver 78-64 in Saturday’s championship game.

Before marching into the final, the Lightning defeated Kelowna’s Heritage Christian Saints 73-52 in the semifinal, host Charles Bloom Timberwolves 70-41 in their second game, and St. John’s 9019 in their opener.

Grade 11 forward Ali Wergeland was named tournament MVP. “Personally, they weren’t my best games; I’ve played better ones,” Wergeland said, about her personal performance. “But as a team we worked really well together.”

This was the first meeting of the season between the Titans and Lightning, the two topranked ‘A’ senior girls hoops teams in the province.

Andre VanWyk photo

The provincial champion Langley Christian Lightning celebrated their B.C. ‘A’ girls basketball title by posing with the banner and trophy in Lumby last weekend.

“We hadn’t really seen Mulgrave play yet, so that was a bit of a fear, but our coach told us to take it one game at a time, so our goal was to win one game every day and eventually it put us in the finals,” Wergeland said.

The Lightning pulled away in the final minutes of the fourth quarter to win by a 14-point margin.

Many members of the team has been together since Grade 8 and Wergeland said the bond between the players is a strong one.

“We’ve moved up [together] through the years,” she said. ast weekend marked the final games of the season for Grade 12, Esther Moerman.

“I knew I always wanted to be part of those [celebration] circles, jumping up and down at the end,” Moerman said. “But I didn’t think I’d actually get to participate in that, but our

L

coach had that goal [of winning the B.C. title] in the beginning of the season. As we got closer to it, we worked super hard and got to it.”

Fellow Grade 12 guard Sydney Tilstra said it was a fun few days in Lumby, thanks to her teammates.

“We have really good team chemistry, and we work really hard together, and no matter what we’re doing, we’re having fun,” Tilstra said. “I think that is really important. And winning in general, it was just so awesome.”

Another graduating Grade 12, Susanna Larsen said the level of competition rose exponentially once the team reached the semifinal and final games.

In the semifinal, the Lightning defeated Heritage Christian, which they lost to during a tournament in Vancouver earlier in the season.

After beating the Saints from Kelowna in the semifinal, the

While jubilant players Esther Moerman and Sydney Tilstra jumped for joy behind her, Langley Christian Lightning coach Danielle Gardner kept her composure on the bench.

Lightning had another huge test in the form of the Titans.

“I was super scared because we’ve never played Mulgrave,” Larsen said.

On top of winning the first B.C. senior girls hoops title in school history, the Lightning also earned the Fair Play Award as the most sportsmanlike team in the tournament.

The B.C. champion Lightning include Ali Wergeland, Amy Antoniuk, Emma Kastelein, Esther Moerman, Hannah Krepp, Katelyn Mallette, Sydney Tilstra, Susanna Larsen, Tabitha Meier, Jayden Bontkes, Emma Hansen, Liesl VanWyk, and Shaina Hummelman. The team is coached by Danielle Gardner and Deb Adams.

JUNIOR A HOCKEY

Spruce Kings oust Rivermen from post-season It wasn’t for a lack of effort, but the Langley Rivermen just couldn’t find a way to get past the Prince George Spruce Kings in the B.C. Hockey League Mainland Division playoff semifinal.

A 3-2 win by the Spruce Kings over the Rivermen Tuesday at the Prince George Coliseum ended the best-of-seven series in

six games.

The series was tied at two games apiece before the Spruce Kings won the final two contests to eliminate the ’Men. Trailing 3-1 in the third period and with their season on the line, the Rivermen played with desperation, outshooting the Spruce Kings 12-6 and scoring the only goal

of the frame, off the stick of Jacob Kearley with 1:18 to go in regulation.

But the Rivermen couldn’t find a way to score the tying goal, and keep their postseason alive.

Langley’s Ben Butcher opened the scoring with a power play goal 6:29 into the game.

Eagles Final Four champs Clash marks milestone

Displaying determination, teamwork, and sportsmanship, the Langley atom A1 Eagles captured the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association playoff championship banner on March 3.

After finishing the regular season with a 13-5 record, Langley triumphed through the playoffs to make the PCAHA’s Final Four, hosted by the Cloverdale Minor Hockey Association.

Also making it to the Final Four were Semiahmoo A1 (15-2-1), Cloverdale A1 (12-4-2), and Abbotsford A1 (123-3).

In a tournament set up as a round robin, the Eagles tied Semiahmoo 5-5 in their first game, and went on to defeat Abbotsford 6-1 and Cloverdale 4-2.

Friday’s card at the Coast Hotel ballroom features some of the top amateur boxers in B.C.

The Final Four champion Langley Eagles are coaches Shawn McBride, Josh Peters, and Dave Wood. Back row (left to right): Parker Gehring, Luca Oliviero, Brendan Ruskowski, Grayden Siepmann, Matteo Speranza, Cole Gillam, Gavin Giesbrecht, Nicholas Goyer, Kaden Hammell, and Jaxon Wood. Middle row left to right: Isaiah Peters, Carter MacAdams, Wes Carter, Erik Sollied, Brandon Whynott. Front row: Trevor Agnew and Taje Gill.

Because Semiahmoo also defeated those two teams, the banner win would be decided by a tie breaker.

Langley and Semiahmoo faced off March 3 in a battle for the banner, and

the Eagles soared to victory one last time with a 3-1 win.

The Eagles finished the season with three gold medals and the championship banner.

Fear makes Chopped right thing to do

C

ooking competition shows are extremely popular and have taken the TV airwaves by storm.

A large extent of the programming on Food Network Canada is a great reflection of this reality movement in viewing entertainment.

The program Chopped Canada is no exception, and now you will have the opportunity to watch me, Chef Dez, go head-to-head on this show, competing against three other chefs for $10,000.

The show’s premise is to have four professional chefs from different parts of Canada compete in three rounds (appetizer, entrée, and dessert) to win $10,000 by being the best, and last one standing, in all three categories.

However, the biggest challenges are the time limits and mystery baskets of ingredients for each of three rounds.

A selection of four unknown, and more than likely strange ingredients are

unveiled to the chefs at the beginning of each of the three rounds… and with no time to plan or prepare, the clock starts ticking.

There is only 20 minutes for the appetizer round, and 30 minutes for each the entrée and dessert rounds, while making four plates of each dish (one for each of the three celebrity chef judges, and one for camera display).

Judged on taste, presentation, and creativity, all while showcasing the four mystery basket ingredients in the dishes, one chef is “chopped” (eliminated) from the appetizer round, leaving three chefs to compete in the entrée round.

The same protocol applies to the entrée round, which leaves only two chefs to compete for the final dessert round, and for the final prize of $10,000.

Sound intense? Yes, very.

And it makes for incredible TV. You may be wondering how I got involved with the program.

I know a chef who competed in the first season, and she advised me that they were looking for chefs for the second season (which started airing at the beginning of 2015).

At the time of my conversation with her, there was no way I was going to apply. I had watched CHEF Chopped Canada many times and the level of intensity that the chefs were put through was more than I preferred to endure myself.

A short time later, I was in getting my hair cut by my friend Keith, relaying to him how I was insistent on not applying.

He asked me, “Are you scared to be on Chopped Canada?”

I replied, “I’m not scared… I’m terrified!”

He then said, “That’s why you should do it.”

I was confused until he went on to explain to me what an incredible opportunity this would be to teach my four children that, when you’re scared to do something you do it anyway, because it is

Early gardening can be peas-full

N

ow that the weather’s beginning to dry a little, this is the ideal time to plant peas.

Cool, loose soil encourages fast germination – there’s not enough moisture to rot pea seed, and voles have little time for leisurely snacks on seeds or tiny shoots.

For strong, healthy pea crops, it helps to apply a dusting of lime.

Innoculants also play a role in increasing the food supply available to peas, because they help grow more nitrogen-fixing nodules on their roots. The more of them in the soil, the richer it becomes, not only for the peas themselves, but also for the next plants you grow in that place.

Peas are one of the food crops that leave earth better than they found it.

That’s why peas are sometimes used as a cover crop for loosening compacted and enriching soil.

But peas have formidable enemies.

Voles love to eat peas, and the traditional straight rows of food crops let them go directly from one snack to another.

That happens more easily when peas are planted early, while voles have

few other food sources.

Planting somewhat later is one protection.

Another protection comes from sprinkling red pepper over the peas themselves in the row.

But not everyone wants to try that, because voles that get red pepper in their eyes are in deep trouble, and suffer a great deal of pain.

In this climate, peas have few serious diseases.

But one potential pea problem is enation. It reveals itself through dwarfed vines with distorted pods.

Like many other virus diseases, enation is spread by aphids.

Mildew is another illness. It’s especially distressing on snow or sugar peas, because the pods are usually eaten.

This fungal malady is best dealt with on food crops by using home remedies, one being a 10 per cent solution of milk mixed in water, and sprayed on plants.

No matter what your size of garden or your lifestyle, there’s likely a kind of pea that will fit right in.

Broadly, there are shelling peas, sugar/snap peas, or soup peas.

Some speed to maturity in 56 days, others dawdle

Gardening in Langley ANNE MARRISON

as much as 78.

It seems the pioneers liked to stretch their season by planting early, midseason, and late peas all at the same time. Then they could enjoy long harvests, as different kinds ripened.

It may be worth trying today.

‘Green Arrow’ is a longmaturing shelling pea that resists most pea diseases.

One good mid-season variety is the snap pea ‘Super Sugar Snap,’ which resists enation and mildew, as does ‘Sugar Ann,’ which is somewhat earlier and has 60 centimetre (two-foot) vines that don’t need trellising.

Some peas have fewer leaves, which means that, in wide plantings, spring gales have less chance of toppling rows.

The heritage shelling pea ‘Lincoln’ is one with sparser leafing.

So are the ‘Manitoba Pea’ and ‘Sugar Ann.’ Both are such dwarf plants that planting each type closely together means they intertwine solidly with each other, and they are said not to need staking (although picking is sure challenging).

Since peas don’t mind growing closely together, wide rows grow well and can produce masses of crop.

Some gardeners handle wide rows with one support down the middle, plus pea netting.
