World team takes Cup championship GARY AHUJA Times Reporter
While the Canadian Curling Association would love to come back to the Langley Events Centre, they wouldn’t mind some more fans in the stands. Those are the sentiments of Greg Stemlaw, the CCA’s chief executive officer on the heels of the eighth annual World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling. It was held at the Langley Events Centre from Thursday to Sunday. “From a spectator standpoint, we would like to have seen more spectators come out,” Stemlaw said. “We knew that this is a very populous area (but) the draw hasn’t been there in that market place where it has been in some of the epicentres in the country. “I don’t think that is anything that is a knock to Langley or the venue itself, it just is for whatever reason, it didn’t seem to be as well-attended as we would have liked to have seen.” “We would certainly love to come back and host something in the future,” he added. While final numbers are not expected for a few days, event manager Neil Houston expects figures will be in the 20,000 range, which puts them right in line with the past few Continental Cups. “I think the event went well, given that Mother Nature threw a
little curve ball with the weather,” Houston said, referring to the weekend snow storm. He said it is tough to know if the weather impacted the final two days of the four-day event at the Langley Events Centre. “But you have to assume that people see bad weather moving in ... and TSN does a great job of broadcasting it, (people) might watch it from home. “You can’t blame them for that.” TSN broadcast live all 11 draws over the four days of the competition. Heading into Sunday’s final draw, Team World needed just a single point to capture the Continental Cup. Team World skip Thomas Ulsrud — the 2010 Olympic silver medalist — won the third end to give his team the necessary points. They wound up winning the Cup 235-165, continuing a trend which sees the two sides winning alternating Cups. The all-time series is 4-4. Houston said they had received good feedback from both the Canadian Curling Association and the curlers themselves. “They enjoyed the volunteers and appreciated all the effort they put in,” he said about the hundreds of volunteers, the majority of them from the Langley Curling Club. “The hotel was great, the playing conditions were great (and) they enjoyed the friendliness of the spectators.”

Saving a deer from Langley’s ‘snake hill’ Township asked to install warning sign on 232 Street DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The Township of Langley should install a “deer crossing” warning sign on “snake hill” to prevent a tragic collision, Mary McKenna says.
Otherwise, McKenna is worried the serpentine twist in the 8100 block of 232 Street could claim the life of a unique young deer with a distinctive white-andbrown coat. On Thursday morning (Jan. 12), McKenna spotted the deer wandering on the road and shooed it back into the woods. It wasn’t the first sighting of the young animal, which McKenna believes may be the same unusual-looking deer spotted in
the woods near Trinity Western University in early December by a Fort Langley resident, who took a photo that appeared in The Times. It appears as though the deer was recently weaned by its mother, McKenna says. “It’s small.” McKenna doesn’t want to see the deer become another victim of the twist in the rural road that has earned the nickname of “snake hill” from area residents because
of the number of collisions suffered by motorists who failed to navigate the curve. “It bends really badly,” she says. In 20 years of living near snake hill, McKenna estimates the bend has averaged about one serious crash every two years. The Township has taken steps to warn drivers, McKenna noted, including the installation of heavy duty road markers. “They were flattened in a matter of days.”

R.C. Garnett PAC co-president Lorraine Baldwin understands what parents who lined up overnight Sunday to secure their children’s space in the school’s Kindergarten are going through. She’s done it twice herself.
District,Township must communicate — parent from PAGE 1
“There was a lineup, yes, but it wasn’t as big as it has been in other years,” she said. “(The lineup) was gone by 8 a.m. We’re not sure how many (Kindergarten) spots we’ll have yet, but our population is very dense and we have a lot of young families.” R.C. Garnett Parent Advisory Council co-president Lorraine Baldwin knows what those parents are going through, since she had to line up — twice — to get
her two children into the school. “I think (lineups) for the school is the new reality for this area. It’s a tiny catchment but overcrowded,” Baldwin said. Even though Lynn Fripps Elementary School is being built in the nearby Yorkson neighbourhood, Baldwin said that won’t help at R.C. Garnett, where the catchment is already capped and closed. “It’s horrible that parents have to line up to get their kids into the school closest to their home,” she said.
“Communication and collaboration needs to happen between the district and the Township,” Baldwin said, noting one previous development plan that came to a public hearing — for eight six-storey buildings in the area — said the children who lived in the development could attend R.C. Garnett Elementary. “It was clear (the Township) had no idea the school is capped and closed. “Where is the communication? Lynn Fripps will be full soon, too. Then what?”
Car crash Girl airlifted to victim still in Children’s after critical state riding mishap
A woman injured in a car accident last Tuesday in Langley City remains in “critical but stable” condition in hospital, Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks said Monday. She was trapped in her white Honda Accord after a collision with a red Ford F350 pickup truck around 3 p.m. at 203 Street and Fraser Highway one week ago. Her car demolished a portion of the railing surrounding the sidewalk patio of Me ‘n Ed’s Pizza; firefighters had to use the Jaws of Life to extricate her from the vehicle. The woman was turning left when hit by the truck, witnesses told The Times. Roads were closed around the crash site until about 10 p.m. last Tuesday. Marks said last week that Integrated Collision Analysis Reconstruction Service investigators believe “both parties bear some responsibility for the collision.”
NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
A 10-year-old girl was airlifted to hospital after a riding accident at Thunderbird Show Park on Thursday afternoon. Township fire department district chief Rob Sewell, who was called to the scene, said that the horse the girl was riding reared, and rolled on top of her. The mishap occurred shortly after 4 p.m. B.C. Ambulance spokesman Kelsie Carwithen said that the girl was in critical condition when paramedics arrived. Sewell reported that she was conscious when she was taken from the riding ring. Township firefighters cleared a nearby parking lot so that a B.C. Air Ambulance could land to take the injured child to Children’s Hospital.

Injured in an accident? Ingrid Brunkhorst Hurrell/For The Times
Paramedics were on the scene at Langley Regional Airport on Wednesday after a plane had a rough landing.
Plane crash lands INGRID BRUNKHORST HURRELL Times contributor
A light Cherokee Cruiser aircraft crash-landed at Langley’s Regional Airport late afternoon on Wednesday (Jan. 11) The student pilot from the Langley Flying School was doing touch-and-go exercises when he veered off the runway, and bounced across the berm which was built to protect the hangars lining the runway from such collisions. Airport manager George Miller said that the pilot was taken to Langley Memorial Hospital,“suffering minor injuries.”
Damage to the plane was mainly to the nose and propeller. Paul and Olga Steenhuisen from South Surrey witnessed the accident. “We saw the plane come in to land, and it seemed to lose control,” Olga Steenhuisen said. “The nose went down and the plane started bouncing and went off the runway.” The runway was immediately shut down to all air traffic. Emergency services responded within minutes and a fire engine from Murrayville hall remained on the scene until the plane was towed to a hangar at the airport where it will be repaired.
Unanimous approval for hotel tax BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
A question of taxes was hardly a taxing one for Langley City council as it voted unanimously in favour of the fiveyear renewal of a two per cent hotel room tax at its Jan. 9 meeting. The current agreement with the province to collect the tax on behalf of participating municipalities expires this August. The money raised through the hotel tax benefits Tourism Langley, which now depends on the tax for 64 per cent of its funding — up from 46 per cent in 2008, when the agency was still receiving start up funds from UBCM. The tax, which must still be approved by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Tourism and Culture, is collected by the province on behalf of Tourism Langley and distributed through the Township and City. In order to implement the hotel tax, which is done through the Ministry of Finance, the support of 51 per cent of hotels (representing 51 per cent of available rooms
in a community) and that of the municipality is required. However, in the City, that figure has been easily surpassed, with all of the municipality’s six hotels — with a total of 342 rooms — on board. “One hundred per cent of hotel properties that were reachable indicated their support (for the tax),” said Alnoor Tejpar, as he and Tourism Langley executive director Deborah Kulchiski made a presentation to City council. Councillor Dave Hall asked whether an occupancy comparison had been done between the 53 communities in B.C. which charge the two per cent tax — including both Langley City and Township — and those that don’t. Guests want to know what a hotel’s room rates are and what that fee includes, for example, is breakfast provided, said Tejpar, who is the general manager of the Hampton Inn and Suites on the Langley Bypass, as well as the owner/ manager of the Best Western Langley Inn on Glover Road, which falls within Langley City limits.
“People assume there is a tax.” After peaking in 2007 and ’08, and then dropping off with the global economic crisis, hotel occupancy rates in Langley are once again leveling off and beginning to climb, said Tejpar, who is also a Tourism Langley board member. Hall then asked whether the province had the power to raise the rate at which the tax is levied, or to “claw back” any portion of the revenue, if it found itself short of funds. That could not happen without a change in provincial legislation, explained Mayor Peter Fassbender. “Very few communities get 100 per cent of hotel support,” said Fassbender. The City has that, he noted, adding the Township is well on its way toward full support from its hoteliers as well. “There’s one property I’m aware of (in the Township) that will not support it,” he added, in an apparent reference to the Princess and the Pea bed and breakfast, whose owner, Wally Martin, is an outspoken opponent of the tax.

A good time to learn a trade
T
he four-day Continental Cup curling event drew plenty of people and lots of media attention to Langley, and has again showcased the superb facilities of Langley Events Centre. While attendance figures have not yet been released, it appears that more than 20,000 people took in some aspect of the event. They were treated to entertaining curling, and for those from outside Langley, an opportunity to check out a first-class facility. The fact that the Continental Cup was broadcast in its entirety on TSN from Thursday to Sunday also served to put the Events Centre and Langley on the map. This type of wall-to-wall coverage, which is now a staple of sports TV broadcasting, showcases a facility like the Events Centre to a very broad audience, and will almost certainly help draw future events here. There is plenty of interest in curling in B.C., but much of that interest is in areas outside the Lower Mainland. While there are many curling fans here, a good number have moved here from other areas where the sport is very popular. Nonetheless, the overall attendance at this event was very good. Considering that weather conditions may have served to keep a few people away, organizers have nothing to feel bad about. As has been mentioned in this space before, Langley Events Centre serves as a major economic development tool for both Langleys. Those who come to take part in multi-day events here stay in the community; buy meals here; shop here and get to know Langley a lot better. Many of the curling fans who enjoy the Continental Cup also came from out of town and and spent time and money here. The spinoff effect to the Langley economy will certainly be in the millions. The most successful Continental Cup resulted in a spinoff effect of more than $7 million being felt in Medicine Hat, and while the effect here likely won’t be quite as large, it will be significant. It also comes at a welcome time of the year, as January is often a slow month for many busineses. Langley Events Centre has been one of the most important infrastructure investments made in this community in the past decade. Not only does it serve Langley residents well, it is an important catalyst in bringing events like the Continental Cup here.

t’s a good time to get a trade. And it’s a good time to upgrade, or tell your kids about how lucrative trades can be. It’s also an excellent time for employers to start scouting trades programs for potential employers and apprentices. The Industry Training Authority predicts a huge gap in skilled trade people leading to 2020. In fact in the Cariboo alone, we’re looking at a gap of 3,350 skilled workers in areas spanning forestry, mining, oil and gas and construction. And while there is some worrisome aspects to that shortage, it’s also a huge opportunity for B.C. This is huge for communities, for labour markets, for families, real estate, city infrastructure and recreation. This could be a real kick-start for the economy, the region, the province and, most importantly, the people. But we need to get on it, now. The shortages are already being felt and it’s only going to get worse. We’re already on the right path with the recent completion of the College of New Caledonia’s Trades and Technology Centre. Let’s keep that momentum rolling by supporting our community college and taking advantage of programs, small class sizes, excellent instruction and new initiatives. Potential employers could benefit as well by checking out perspective talent, offering apprenticeships and building early company loyalty. This is an opportunity to work together to build stronger, profitable, stable, healthy communities. Let’s not wait until the shortages force industry to look elsewhere for skilled help. This is our opportunity to be proactive. —Quesnel Cariboo Observer (Black Press)

Conservatives aren’t the answer Editor: A recent letter to your paper by Mr. E. Bysouth (The Times, Jan 10) lauding our future prospects with a Conservative provincial government seemed a tad twisted, tipped in favour of fantasy, rather than reality. For example, the writer should recall that years ago, NDP politician Tommy Douglas was behind the introduction of Canada’s universal health care model. Its poor administration by Conservative and Liberal governments today without proper funding is another issue. Without that care model however, Canadians would be less well off. I say “Thank you, Tommy Douglas” for valuing the lives of all Canadians — not just the rich ones. A blanket denigration of everything NDP seems embarrassingly goofy. Bysouth goes on to recommend the BC Conservatives, implying they are our top people “made up of former Socreds and Reformers.” whereas the NDP would represent “the bottom end” of British Columbian society. No party is perfect, but my recollection
of Socreds includes a shrieking, out-of-touch Rita Johnston, who led the Socreds into obscurity along with the questionable Fantasy Garden dealings of disgraced Socred leader Bill Vander Zalm. Another former Socred MLA, George Kerster, is a convicted child sex offender. There were others too, and Bysouth wishes a return to their ilk? I think he’s mixed up. Granted, when one looks at the self-serving 29 per cent pay raises our current MLAs are enjoying and listens to the two-faced Liberals like Mike DeJong talk about how teachers and other government workers should be happy with their Liberal government 0, 0 and 0 per cent wage offer, one wonders what world DeJong is buying his gas and groceries in? Is it the fantasy one his brain seems to dilly-dally in? One can’t help but agree with Bysouth that a change is needed. Bysouth also refers to Singapore as being the “best country in the world,” according to
a single economic report. That narrow view, not cognizant of the bigger picture of life in Singapore, begs a different perspective. As of 1970, there are no juried court decisions in Singapore, and Amnesty International maintains legal provisions in Singapore conflict with the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. Decisions are rendered by a single judge. Flogging has been replaced by public caning, which is a common judicial punishment in schools and prisons. Visiting friends told me “Singapore is a beautiful place. No garbage. It’s like Disneyland — but unfortunately, it’s Disneyland with guns.” They said Singapore is a superficial fantasy place, where omnipresent, heavily-armed police keep a brutal lid on any out-of-step civil behaviour. Oh boy — where do I sign up for the Conservatives? Bryn Jones, Aldergrove
Medical system worked well for sick infant Editor: While we realize that our emergency rooms are filled to capacity and the surgery wait lists are long, a recent experience has shown us how very fortunate we are to live in Canada and have the medical system that we do indeed have. On Jan. 5, our three-week-old grandson was taken into Langley Memorial Hospital emergency, as he was struggling to breathe after having contracted what was thought to be a cold. With infants so young, what can be mild to most can change so quickly, as this had. The admitting nurse at the desk realized immediately that this was a serious case and fast-tracked him in. At that point, a Dr. Horvath took over. Quick, attentive decisions
were made by Dr. Horvath who, after ordering chest x-rays and blood work, moved our grandson up to the pediatric ward. From then on, he had three brilliant nurses and a pediatrician helping him to breathe. While they worked diligently and with precision and speed, it was determined that he needed to be transported quickly to BC Children’s in Vancouver. The ITT (Infant Transport Team) were called — apparently we have three such teams in B.C. that travel and transport infant emergencies — and to BC Children’s they went. Once there, our grandson was admitted to the ICU where he is still receiving round-theclock care from compassionate, knowledgeable and truly amazing health care professionals.
Our grandson is a little fighter and we know he will be fine, but our heartfelt thanks go out to all the doctors and nurses at LMH, especially Dr. Horvath in ER, Dr. Chander in pediatrics, Lynn the nurse and the wonderful head nurse who stayed way past her shift ended saying “It’s OK — my husband of 32 years understands by now.” We also thank the ITT and all the staff at BC Children’s for not only dedicating their lives to helping others, but for the way that they deal with families at such an emotional time. They are amazing people on every level and we are thankful for each and every one of them. Pam Erikson, Langley
LETTERS IN BRIEF
Premier and mirrors, and good local shopping Editor: This is my version of recent events in B.C. Premier Christy Clark was so concerned about her fate in the upcoming 2013 election she asked her magic mirror: “Who is the fairest contestant of them all?” The mirror replied, “Adrian Dix.” That’s when Clark and her Liberal backers panicked. Clark phoned Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who everyone knows invested $1.6 billion in that B.C. HST scam that didn’t pan out. Currently Harper has some very influential friends who are lusting to have a pipeline built through Beautiful B.C. No one is saying if pressure was applied, but Clark hired Ken Boessenkool as her chief of staff. He happens to have worked as a senior policy adviser and strategist for The
Harper. He was also a lobbyist for several prominent companies, including Calgarybased Enbridge, the company salivating to build the Northern Gateway pipeline project. The BC Liberals can now fire up their election apparatus, knowing Clark’s right-hand man has lots of friends in the oil patch, who have the marketing knowhow and financial resources to keep political machinery well lubricated. If Harper wasn’t handcuffed by the rules and regulations of our democracy, Enbridge would be laying pipe right now. Lloyd Atkins, Vernon A Treat To Deal With Editor: We have a wedding this year so we went in search of the perfect dress. After
trying on only two, my daughter and I fell in love with the third dress. However, we were skeptical that this was the dress, because it just seemed too easy. So off we went. We shopped in Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and Washington state. Not only did we not find a dress that compared with the first, no shop matched the professionalism of our own home shop in Langley. I can’t say enough good things about Treat Bridal on Fraser Highway. The gentleman we dealt with offered so much help. His advice was spot on and we left feeling like her dress was in good hands. Save yourself some time, new brides, and check this place out. You won’t go away disappointed. Karen Scott, Langley
UNIFORM PROBLEM Editor: Re: The picture of the basketball game on page 40 of the Jan. 12 edition. Is it just me, but could basketball uniforms get anymore stupid looking? Whatever happened to the sleeveless vest and PE shorts that the teams used to wear back in the day? These look like long johns that shrunk a bit in the wash.And the Walnut Grove team needs a colour change.How about Gator Green instead of thermal underwear grey? Brian Johnson, Willoughby
BE VISIBLE Editor: The number of pedestrians and cyclists who are not visible in the dark is alarming. As an early morning commuter, I have a request to all pedestrians and cyclists who are also early morning commuters — please make yourselves visible by wearing reflective vests or accessories. It is especially hard to see those of you who are dressed in dark clothing when it’s foggy or raining and dark outside. There have been many a morning when I have not seen someone trying to cross the road, because they are not dressed appropriately. For your own safety and everyone else’s out there, dress in such a way that you are visible when it’s dark. Lizette Etsebeth, Langley
IGNORED AGAIN Editor: I was thrilled on Saturday evening to arrive home from work to see that some kind soul had driven down our street with a grader blade and cleared at least one lane of the road for us, so we could exit our homes and get to a major road that had been cleared and brined. However, Monday comes along with more snow and once again Aldergrove is the forgotten cousin. Even 264 Street and 16 Avenue had been left to fend for themselves Monday morning. Once again,Aldergrove is the west end of an eastbound mule. The further east you got from Langley, the worse the road conditions. Aldergrove has it’s own little micro climate and for whatever reason, the Township seems to ignore it. D. Atkinson, Aldergrove

Latest ecstasy-related death linked to Langley Staff writer
Another potential ecstasy-related death is under investigation in Langley, reports the BC Coroners Service.
A BCCS release says a 16-year-old boy from Langley was with others when he reportedly took ecstasy Saturday night, along with other pharmaceutical drugs.
Solid SSo olliid w wa walnut allnnut ut wo w ooodd mini min ini wood
“In the early morning hours of Jan. 15, the boy was heard to collapse, and one of the others nearby called 911,” says the BCCS. “Paramedics

attended quickly and transported the boy to Langley Memorial Hospital. He could not be revived.” Toxicology testing will be completed as quickly as possible to determine whether the use of ecstasy was a factor in the death and if so, whether the ecstasy tablet included the presence of PMMA (paramethoxymethamphetamine). PMMA has been linked to five ecstasyrelated deaths in B.C. in the past six months, the BCCS announced last week, with two of those deaths occurring this month. PMMA has also been linked to several recent deaths in Alberta. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe says this latest death again emphasizes the point that every ingestion of ecstasy is a risk as there is no way of determining the actual ingredients of a drug concocted for profit in an unregulated environment. Even though ecstasy is often thought to be a recreational drug rather than an addictive one, “There is no known safe does,” Lapointe stressed. The BCCS is continuing to work closely with police and health authorities regarding these deaths.

Fatalities on steep drop We have a
In areas policed by the RCMP, traffic fatalities have plunged 38 per cent. The drop from 2010 to 2011 “is unprecedented,” the RCMP said in a press release issued on Thursday. The drop is receiving international attention from other police forces. There were 97 traffic fatalities in the Lower Mainland communities, which include Langley, that are policed by the RCMP, and 60 in 2011. Fatalities have been dropping for the last five to six years, but this past year’s drop is the most dramatic. “It’s fantastic news — 37 fewer deaths in one year alone — and it’s across four of our key areas that we focus on — impaired driving, seat belts, distracted driving and speed,” said Supt. Norm Gaumont, who heads the RCMP’s Traffic Services division and is based in Langley. “Honestly, I’ve never seen anything like this,” Gaumont said. The RCMP attributes the dramatic reduction to a combination of legislative changes, growing public awareness of the new laws, and the contin-
ued enforcement of those laws. Gaumont warned that the numbers are still preliminary. They show: Alcohol related deaths: 36 in 2010, 17 in 2011 for a 53 per cent reduction; Seatbelt related deaths: 20 in 2010, 5 in 2011 for a 75 per cent reduction; Speed-related deaths: 38 in 2010, 20 in 2011 for a 47 per cent reduction Distracted/Inattentive related deaths: 45 in 2010, 26 in 2011 for a 42 per cent reduction. The decline in fatalities has attracted international attention from other police forces, Gaumont said. At the request of the Kuwaiti Prime Minister’s office, Gaumont is visiting the Middle East country for the second time, to help develop strategies that reduce traffic fatalities. Kuwait, which has a population of four million, records approximately 400 traffic fatalities a year. “Kuwait City has approximately the same number of vehicles on the roads as we do here in the Lower Mainland,” Gaumont said.

Langley Youth Unlimited and Tara Teng, Miss Canada 2011, are hosting Wake Up: A Night Against Exploitation on Thursday, Jan. 19, to inform and equip local leaders to make Langley a sexual exploitation-free zone. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. at Langley Township Hall. It will feature a screening of the Canadian documentary Enslaved and Exploited: The Story of Sex Trafficking in Canada. This will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by both Langley mayors to discuss specific steps the community can take to end sexual exploitation. Organizers Teng, Danny Ferguson and Todd Hauptman intend for the event to not only give leaders knowledge about human trafficking in Canada, but also provide specific action steps they can take. “Langley is perfectly positioned to be a national leader in the fight against human trafficking,” says Teng. “We need to come together and create a community model that has everyone involved and working to prevent our youth from being lured into situations of exploitation, both locally and globally.” The organizers would like to see every community stakeholder at the event so that, together, Langley can be part of the solution to end exploitation in Canada. “The young people in our community are at risk of being recruited into the sex trade,” says Langley Youth Unlimited director Danny Ferguson. “In the seven years I’ve been a youth worker in this community, I have seen it happen. In my opinion, even one kid from Langley becoming a slave is too many,” Ferguson said. Teng agrees, “If we think that we are far removed from situations of modern day slavery, then we are mistaken. Last year, victims of human trafficking and sexual exploitation were found in communities all across the Lower Mainland, as well as youth in our own community being recruited. Let’s take a stand against this crime and be a role model for the rest of Canada.” Teng, Ferguson and Hauptman believe that Wake Up: A Night Against Exploitation is a chance for Langley residents to get informed, get equipped with knowledge and then respond. “Together we can make a difference,” Teng concludes.
Comedy night supports farm A comedy night this Saturday at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley will support the work of Wagner Hills Farm. The event features comedian Cliff Prang. Tickets are $20 each, and those who buy 12 tickets will get them for the price of 10. It begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be obtained by emailing jim@radevents.ca or by calling 604763-8867.

Four years for Langley sexual assaults on children Man sentenced after he pleaded guilty to two incidents DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
Two decades after he molested two young boys in Langley, 54-year-old Peter Littleboy stood in a Surrey courtroom and apologized after pleading guilty to
charges of sexual interference. Neither victim was there to hear it. Both have struggled with the emotional fallout from what happened between 1989 and 1992, the court was told. The two men were
11 and 12 at the time. One was a blood relative, while the other was in a parentaltype relationship with Littleboy. After they were molested, one victim developed problems with substance abuse and anger management, while the other has suffered nightmares. The charges were laid against Littleboy
after the two now fully grown victims contacted police. On Tuesday (Jan. 10), a Surrey Provincial Court judge sentenced Littleboy to a conditional sentence of two years less a day plus another two years on parole. During the first nine months of his conditional sentence, Littleboy will not be allowed to leave his
home except to work or for medical reasons without the permission of his Conditional Sentence Order supervisor. Littleboy’s name has been added to a national list of sex offenders.
He is banned from being alone with anyone under 16, and from being in any place where children under 16 gather, such as playgrounds, parks and swimming pools. Littleboy no longer lives in Langley.
Court was told he worked as a school bus driver in Pemberton after he moved there. There was no evidence that he committed any other sex-related offences since the Langley incidents.

But most of our younger patients want the colors on their braces, it’s just more fun.” she said “We also offer Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen®, which are popular clear aligner treatment options.” Did you know that all orthodontists are dentists first, but only 2% of dentists undertake the necessary training, which allows them to specialize in the treatment of malocclusion or bad bite in laymen’s terms. Dr. Hodder practiced as a general dentist for five years prior to returning to school to pursue her specialty. During that time she taught both general restorative dentistry and orthodontics to dental students at the University of Manitoba. A certified specialist in Orthodontics she has been in clinical practice in New Westminster. On November 1st she opened her own practice, Viva Orthodontics in Clayton Heights. Gone are the days when a teenager dreaded the trip to the orthodontist to get their teeth fixed. Teens are savvy and know that having a perfect smile is important in a competitive world. Dr. Hodder and her staff are very serious about their profession but when it comes to working with teens they want to make the experience as much fun as possible.

in our office. For the past three summers we’ve been doing a “scavenger hunt” where patients collect 10 photos over their summer holiday and then enter to win a back to school shopping spree. Also we offer a point system where teens can enter a draw to win cool prizes. Points are given for the patient arriving on time with clean teeth and with their dental appliance intact.” The office features a three console play station room, a wifi station and flat screen TV’s hanging throughout the office. For the younger patients there is a brightly coloured play area. Possibly you’re wondering what’s the best age for orthodontic treatment. “Generally, the best age for treatment with full braces is age 11-13 once the permanent teeth have erupted.” Dr. Hodder explained. “However, some conditions require early treatment including extreme deepbites or overbites, underbites, cross-bites, hab-
its and certain skeletal imbalances.” she said. “Both the Canadian and American Association of Orthodontists recommend all children be seen for an orthodontic consultation by age seven. Having an early visit may make later treatment less complex and often decrease the need for extraction of permanent teeth.” she added. Viva Orthodontics regular hours are Monday to Friday from 8 until 5 but they offer ‘before and after school’ appointments. Call 778-5748484 for more information. Viva Orthodontics is conveniently located in Clayton Heights at 107-6758-188th Street, one block down from Clayton Heights Secondary. Short term parking is available on the street but there is free parking in the parkade (enter off 68th Avenue).

For Brenda and her husband Rick, a District Chief with the Township of Langley Fire Department, the news was devastating and life altering. Brenda had been down this road before. When she was a teenager, her 48 year old father had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and later, her older brother as well. Brenda knew all too well what frustrations lie ahead. “Back then, there was very little public knowledge about the disease,” recalls Brenda. “The symptoms were often mistaken for depression or some form of dementia or mental illness. Our family didn’t know what to expect, how to cope or know what the long term outcome might be. It was difficult to describe my Dad’s illness to others back then.” Most often, Alzheimer’s is diagnosed in people over 65 years of age although the less-prevalent early-onset diagnosis can occur much earlier. Inherited Alzheimer’s is also referred to as familial Alzheimer’s disease (FAD). According to the National Institute on Aging, if a parent has the familial form of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease, his children have a 50% chance of developing the condition. Mutations on three genes have been linked to familial, early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Ongoing research is attempting to narrow down which one of these genes is the dominant carrier. It is possible to undergo genetic testing for these gene mutations, but there are many pros and cons to doing so. “Our sons are 25 and 23 years old and have not yet undergone any testing for the genes. The challenge for them ranges from being able to provide them this important health information but then they have to cope with the knowledge that Alzheimer’s is inevitable. It is a difficult situation to be in,” says Rick Rick described the subtle changes that began after Brenda had received earlier treatment for breast cancer. “We had been told that some of the related drugs Brenda had been prescribed would cause some limited short term memory loss. This could last from six months to a year so when she would experience some confusion we would put it down to

the drugs. Then we started to notice some little changes that raised some concerns.” “I was getting frustrated with the changes that were going on around me,” shared Brenda. “I kept getting angry that they were ‘changing my Langley.’ Landmarks and buildings were no longer where I remembered them, familiar streets and roads were gone and it seemed new ones were forever appearing. Why can’t they just leave things the way they were I kept thinking?” “No one likes to admit they are getting lost or might need help. Our pride and our egos are too big for that. It was taking me longer to get places and longer to get home. I found myself on the other side of a bridge one day and finally had to phone Rick and ask for directions on how to get home but I still didn’t share with him the growing frustrations I was going through each day.” “There were other signs as well,’” says Rick. “We enjoyed getting away in the trailer, camping and travelling. I started to notice how cluttered the small space was becoming and I was always asking Brenda to put things away and clean the place up. We didn’t realize then that her mind was attempting to overcome the disease by becoming more visual. If you didn’t remember where things were supposed to go, just leave them out. If they were there where you could see them, you didn’t have to go through the trouble of trying to remember where they were or if you even had them at all.” “We finally agreed we should seek some help so we started with our family doctor,” recalls Brenda. “Testing for Alzheimer’s is not something that is part of a regular check-up. Because there is no single test for Alzheimer’s, physicians basically work to rule out all other causes for the symptoms. The only way to definitively diagnose Alzheimer’s is to examine brain tissue after death. There are no physical signs or symptoms and we had to suggest to our doctor that we wanted to be tested. We were then referred to the Dementia clinic at UBC.” The UBC Dementia clinic is located in the UBC Hospital in Vancouver. Their first trip into the clinic was to one of many over the next few months. The assessment involves a series of appointments. Typically, for the initial visit, the client will be given a basic memory test to determine the depth of the memory loss. Next, a meeting is arranged with a neurologist or a geriatric

specialist for a medical assessment which includes a physical exam. Meetings with genetic counsellors and social workers are arranged and in some cases CT scans or additional lab tests are carried out. After the assessment is complete, and all other possible causes for the memory loss are ruled out, copies of the report of the clinic’s exam are sent to the local doctor. The client then books a follow up appointment, referred to as the family conference. At this time the doctors will discuss the test results and explain the diagnosis. On some occasions, it may be necessary to refer the client to another specialist. Many patients are followed by the clinic throughout the year and return on an annual basis for repeat medical examinations. Rick knew that their life was taking a turn down a new road. “Once we had the diagnosis confirmed, we connected with the Local Alzheimer’s offices in Langley and Surrey. I can’t say enough about the support we get from the Alzheimer’s’ Society, all of their staff and volunteers are amazing. They are constantly calling or coming out to check on Brenda and are ready to answer any questions we might have.” “Their support network is very good,” says Brenda. “In addition to the client support, they provide counselling for the families and caregivers as well. There are workshops for all the people involved and they have put us in touch with a great support group. It has all come a long way since we went through this with my Dad. No one has to go through this alone anymore. I feel sorry for my Mom, this is the third time she has had to be a caregiver for this terrible disease but there is a lot more help available now.” The positive impact of the counselling is evident in the soft, non-confrontational way Rick and Brenda communicate with each other with Brenda occasionally thanking Rick for correcting her or pointing out something she missed in the story. “We try to stay positive, says Rick. Our youngest son is 23 and he was a helicopter maintenance engineer in Northern Ontario. He came back home and works at the Vancouver airport now. He works a steady night shift so he is able to help out at home as well. There has had to be a role reversal here at home and he helps with cooking and taking care of the place.” Brenda shares her thoughts on the role reversal. “I worked part time as a caregiver for handicapped children and I was

Missing Piece the planner here at home. I planned the birthdays, the anniversaries, the trips and the meals. It is not easy to have to take a step back from most of that. I don’t like giving up control. I feel guilty that Rick is giving up his animals on the hobby farm to spend more time inside. I think we had a retirement plan, but now we just plan one day at a time.” Brenda smiles, “It is like doing a jig saw puzzle and looking desperately for that one missing piece. I get very tired as I am constantly thinking, ’am I forgetting something, should I be doing something, what is coming next.’ That is very exhausting. I try to keep
busy and forget that I am lonely, sad and mad. All I want is a cure.” “We are luckier than some,” shares Rick. “We have family close and many, many good friends. My colleagues in the Fire Department are another extremely supportive family and Brenda and I know we have lots of help when we need it.” A recent survey revealed that over 44% of those affected by Alzheimer’s waited for a year or more to share their memory loss concerns with a doctor.

Safe at Home –
Jim McGregor e all see the reports on the evening news of a person experiencing some form of dementia who has wandered away from their home or care facility. Kathy Kennedy, the Director of Programs and Services for Alzheimer’s B.C. warns that these incidents must be taken seriously. “When someone with Alzheimer’s leaves their home this must be treated as an emergency and family and First Responders should act quickly to initiate a search. A person with Alzheimer’s has a tendency to like to leave their safe environment and check out other places. They have difficulty finding their way back, knowing how to ask for help, knowing they need help, or being able to communicate who they are and where they live.” Kathy explains, “They will not attempt to seek shelter and as such they become exposed to the elements. If they walk into brambles they will not make the logical attempt to get out. A barrier at a construction site may stop their progress and they simply stand there. They will not react to dangerous situations like you or I would.” Kathy explains that there are many programs available to care givers that will educate them and assist them in providing a safe environment. The Safely Home Program was designed to assist Emergency Support Services in the safe and timely return home of individuals with Alzheimer Disease following an episode of wandering. The Alzheimer Society developed the program, in partnership with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s CPIC Division. A voluntary registry was established that stores vital information about individuals with Alzheimer Disease who are at risk for wandering Caregivers or other guardians, who are concerned about a family member becoming lost and unable to find their way home, register the individual on the Safely Home Program’s “Wandering Persons’ Registry.” They provide descriptive and background information on the person, including name, address, vital statistics, and frequency of wandering, places likely to wander, medical information and contact names. In the event that the registered person goes missing, the family/caregiver contacts the police directly, stating the person is registered with the program. Each individual registered with The Safely Home Program is given an identification bracelet. The words “memory loss” as well as a registration number that appears on the back of the bracelet. This number provides the link to the Alzheimer database that is managed by the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC). Identification cards are also issued upon registration. These may be found in a person’s wallet, purse or pocket. Some families/guardians will put name labels on the collars of coats and jackets. Both the identification cards and the labels may be helpful should an individual choose not to wear a bracelet. If a family member goes missing, the caregiver should contact the local police. The police, accessing the computer database, will find pertinent information on the member including personal history, physical characteristics and locations where the person is known to visit. It is important for family members and caregivers to keep an up-to-date photo of the member on hand. When the family member is found, the police use the identification number on the bracelet to search the computer database, and determine where the person lives and whom to contact. Kathy advises that ID kits are available on line or at the Alzheimer’s offices. “All the information required is in the kit and makes it easier for the caregiver to register the family member.”

Security for Wanderers Wanderers are often looking for something or someone familiar, especially if they recently moved to a new environment. In other cases, wanderers are trying to satisfy a basic need, such as hunger or thirst but they’ve forgotten what to do or where to go. Many wanderers are looking for a bathroom. Sometimes wandering is a result of stress, anxiety or too much stimulation, such as multiple conversations in the background or even the noise of pots and pans in the kitchen. In other cases, restlessness or wandering is a reaction to pain. If wandering occurs at the same time every day, it may be linked to a lifelong routine. For example, a woman who tries to leave the nursing home every day at 5 p.m. may believe she’s going home from work. Often it just takes a gentle voice to tell them it is Saturday and there is no work today. Distraction techniques will often dissuade the wanderer from trying to leave. There are ways to make your house safer. There are several ways to help prevent them from opening the door. Sometimes a stop sign on the door will work. Another method is to camouflage the door or cover it with a drape or poster. There are whole
door posters available or a mirror on the door may work. A second lock at the top or bottom of the door can also be helpful since most people with the disease mainly look at eye level. There are many different types of alarms on the market. There are motion detector alarms, sensor mat alarms, and alarms which go on the door that will sound when the door is opened. Doing an assessment of the home and making some simple changes can make it a safer environment for all concerned. Kathy also wants the public to be more vigilant. “We try to educate the public to get involved if something doesn’t look right. Someone walking in clothes inappropriate to the weather or standing still or someone who has put themselves in a precarious situation can be in distress. Simply asking them if they know where they are or who they are can determine if they have wandered away from care. It could save their life.” More information for caregivers or the public is available on the Alzheimer’s web sites or at any of the local offices of the Alzheimer’s Society.

Jim McGregor or more than 25 years, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. has played an important role in the lives of people with Alzheimer’s disease. In many cases, those who have Alzheimer’s are elderly and they eventually become dependent on their caregivers. As with most non-profit organizations, volunteers are needed at many levels , from counselling, administration, or client support. When asked about volunteer programs, Jean Blake, the CEO of Alzheimer’s Society of B.C. stated, “We have huge opportunities, we could achieve very little without the dedicated volunteer component in our organization.” “We currently have a provincial volunteer drive underway and we are looking for retired teachers, health care workers, people that are good public speakers. At the local levels, we have many opportunities in our volunteer programs.” Many caregivers will testify that they could not think of being without the support of the volunteers or staff who assist them in their day to day life. Rose Puszka is the Support and Education co-ordinator in the Langley Alzheimer’s office. “We welcome anyone who wants to offer their time and skills to us,” says Rose. “We identify your skills and point out skills you didn’t even know you had. We look for those with empathy, the people who are good at carrying out administrative duties. It is all about putting the right people in the right positions.” The annual Alzheimer’s Walk For Memories events are upcoming throughout the Lower Mainland on January 29th. “We rely heavily on volunteers as we have limited staff available for those 24 events,” says Jean. To offer your services locally, contact Rose Puszka the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C. at 604-533-5277, drop in at their new offices at #200-20644 Eastleigh Crescent in Langley or check out the Provincial web site: www.alzheimerbc.org.

A
Victorian mansion on a stormy British coast, a diabolical crime and its psychological aftermath are at the heart of the Langley Players’ upcoming production — Victoria’s House, by Fred Carmichael. When Neil Bannister kills his devoted wife Victoria, he thinks he has committed the perfect crime. That is, until forces — be it the long arm of the law or something more supernatural — begin to work against him. Set at the turn of the 20th century, Victoria’s House is not a murder mystery in the classic sense, said its director, Angela Bell. “It’s not a whodunnit, because you know whodunnit,” said Bell, who is taking her third turn at the helm of an LP production. She previously directed The Last Real Summer in 2009 and last winter’s comedy For Better. “It’s sort of like a mystery, crossed with a ghost story. It borders on a psychological thriller.” It has been several years since the drama club, which performs out of the little theatre in Brookswood, has mounted a mystery, she said, but there was something about Carmichael’s two-act play that grabbed everyone on the play reading committee. “When we read this as a committee, we were so caught up in the story that when somebody knocked at the door (of the playhouse) we all screamed. “It scared the bejeezus out of us,” laughed Bell. With the source material in place, it became a case of finding the right people to draw audiences both into the building and into the story itself. “When it came to women, there was just an overwhelming number (who auditioned),” said Bell. For the sake of time, she had to be quick and ruthless in her decisions. “Nobody got a second chance that day, unfortunately. They had to come out swinging on the first try.” In the end, Gemma Martini won the role of Mrs. Case, the home’s austere housekeeper, while Robyn Roukema will play Jane Leighton. Performing the title role of Victoria Bannister is Burnaby’s Tamara Prescott. One of Bell’s happiest discoveries was
Brenda ANDERSON/Langley Times
From left: Gemma Martini as the housekeeper Mrs. Case, Peter Godard as Stephens and Katherine Auton as Winnie in Fred Carmichael’s mystery, Victoria’s House, opening Thursday at the Langley Playhouse. Katherine Auton, who plays the servant girl, Winnie. “It’s her first production out of high school. She’s a delight,” said the director. Langley physician, actor and musician Shannon Lee, plays Margaret St. James, an eccentric spinster who believes in the occult. And while Lee is used to performing in comedies (as she did in last season’s For Better) her character is one of the few in this atmospheric drama who gets to play for laughs — simply because she is so serious about an inherently funny subject. Another key component of Lee’s character, which audiences at the first few shows won’t get to appreciate, is her elaborate period hairstyle. With all its rolls and pins, the first attempts took an hour and a half to complete, she said. However, the stylist working on the show isn’t available until the second week of the run, so early audiences will get a toned down version. One thing they will feel the full force of, however, are the accents — both upper and working class British — noted Lee, who is pleased that Bell decided to challenge her actors. “A lot of people are afraid of (doing accents on stage) but I’ve been around
British accents all my life. My husband is British, so I’m comfortable with it,” she said. The distinctive speech patterns add to the veracity of the play, and create a better experience for the audience, she believes. At the same time, Lee suspects, the requirement helped Bell to winnow down the list of suitable candidates. Unlike with the women, Bell was able to spend a bit more time casting the male characters, selecting Langley’s Peter Goddard for the role of Stephens, the estate’s groom and handyman. “Peter played the father in (last season’s) Lost in Yonkers, which was a huge winner for us,” said Bell. The role of the murderous Neil Bannister went to Tomas Gambe, while Raymond Hatten will play Charles Axton. The part of lawyer William Scott was already cast when the actor told Bell he had a conflict with the play’s run dates. “So I had to recast. We had this scary emergency, and in walked Joshua (deGroot) and he was just absolutely amazing,” said Bell, adding the young actor commands the stage in the same way the attorney’s presence fills a room. The entire team, whether on stage or backstage, has been brilliant, said Bell.
And she’s confident that teamwork will translate to audiences during the show’s month-long run. Lee agrees. In this play, the house is as much a character as any portrayed by an actor on the stage, said the actress. In the beginning, Lee admitted, she was a little concerned about how it was going. “It wasn’t coming alive for me until the music, the set and the lighting were added in,” she said. Together, she said, the effects combine to create an often spooky atmosphere, that will allow audiences to suspend their disbelief and be drawn into the story. “That has been accomplished — more than it has by the actors — by the technical people,” she said. Victoria’s House runs Thursdays to Sundays from Jan. 19 to Feb. 18 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. in Brookswood. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. All tickets are $15. For reservations, call 604-534-7469, or email reservations@ langleyplayers.com.

Shara Gutsche was 13 years old when she was run down in a crosswalk by a drunk driver, during a school trip to Bellingham. The accident, in which she suffered a brain injury, left her partially blind and largely paralyzed along her right side. Twenty-two years later, Gutscheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right leg is splinted to help her walk, while her right arm hangs limp at her side. She sometimes finds herself struggling for words and has difficulty planning ahead. But none of this has managed to erase the wide grin that seems to have found a permanent home on Gutscheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face. Nor has it stopped the 35-yearold Port Coquitlam woman from picking up a brush and expressing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in paint â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the thoughts and feelings she sometimes has trouble putting into words. Last September, Gutsche joined Langley artist Lalita Hamillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brain-injured artists group â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Art Works! â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is displaying its membersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; work alongside pieces by a Langley art critique group. On Wednesday evening, the artists were celebrated during a reception inside Langley City Hall, where the pieces are hanging . Through the Fraser Valley Brain Injury Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program, which meets once a week to paint under Hamillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidance, Gutsche has made new friends and discovered a love of â&#x20AC;&#x153;bright colours and happy feelingsâ&#x20AC;? set to canvas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can express more through my art than with words,â&#x20AC;? says the fledgling artist, who has her own website on which she sells greeting cards featuring her original paintings. She most often works in water-

Although she lives north of the Fraser, Gutsche joined the Fraser Valley Brain Injury Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Langley art group because her respite caregiver Christine Graham lives here. The two women share a deep affection, a long history and plenty of laughs. And though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve only been paired formally for the past two years, Graham has known Gutsche her whole life. In fact, she was in Bellingham on that fateful day in 1990, and serves as the younger womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory of the accident that put Gutsche in the hospital, first in the U.S., then in Vancouver, for a many weeks. It was Graham who heard about the ArtWorks! program and suggested she give it a try. Her first reaction, Gutsche said, is that she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be able to do it. But that initial doubt soon disappeared and Gutsche added artist to a resume that includes music, theatrical improv, sailing, skiing and horseback riding.

A total of $2,300 which has been raised on behalf of the group will be matched by Opus, with the money going toward the purchase of supplies. On Wednesday evening, the artists and their guests were greeted by Don Shilton, general manager of the Langley Arts Council, and by City of Langley mayor Peter Fassbender, who told the group that their artwork, displayed throughout the concourse,â&#x20AC;?adds to the soul of our facility.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thank you for decorating our home and sharing your talent with us,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Jasmine Marjanovic is headed to California next month to participate in the pre-awards festivites at the annual Academy Awards celebrations, where her cranberry-jalapeno jelly and cranberry mustard will tempt the palates of Hollywood’s finest.

Cranberry products from a Fort Langley store will be included in celebrity swag bags at this year’s Academy Awards celebration BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
It’s a small store with a bright red facade, tucked away in Fort Langley’s Gasoline Alley — but Cranberries Naturally is suddenly making a big splash on the international scene. Jasmine Marjanovic’s specialty shop — dedicated to the little red berry — has been selected to provide “swag” for celebrity gift bags at this year’s Oscar celebrations in Hollywood. The 84th Academy Awards will be held on Sunday, Feb. 26 at Hollywood’s Kodak Theatre. But for Marjanovic, the drama will begin to unfold the day before, when she arrives at the Avalon Hotel to meet and greet the stars who will take home jars of her cranberry-jalapeno jelly and cranberry mustard. “You want to give them some-
thing they’re going to remember and really like,” she said of her selections. And, as a nod to the special occasion, she will replace the jars’ regular white labels with gold ones. With red and gold maple leaf confetti, raffia, boxes and bags scattered everywhere, “My kitchen looks like Santa’s workshop right now,” she laughed. Marjanovic will supply enough jelly and mustard to fill 100 bags, though she’s not sure which celebrities will be getting them. “I don’t think it’s going to be George Clooney — rats,” she chuckled. However, she will get the opportunity to chat with the stars who come by, get autographs and pose for photos. While she cannot claim they are endorsing her product, she
is otherwise free to use the photos to promote her business, Marjanovic explained. Just like in the movies, it’s been non-stop action for the merchant since she stepped into the spotlight earlier this month, after learning that she had been selected to participate in the pre-awards show festivities. But it all began last fall when a customer mentioned her store to a Vancouver promotions company. At the time, the goal was to seek a spot at another awards show. “It’s been totally bizarre how it all came down,” said Marjanovic. “A couple of months ago, I got an email from her (media publicist Annette McArthur) about the Grammy Awards (which are happening on Feb. 12).”

Health Matters January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. The effect of diet on brain health is an area of significant interest. Evidence is pointing to the inclusion of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins C, D, E & B as promoting mental ability and reduced brain shrinkage, while a diet high in trans fats did the opposite. Best to obtain these nutrients from your diet and stick to recommended allowances.
with Pinder Mann
Researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have developed a drug, termed J147, that is showing promise in mouse studies in improving memory and protecting the brain from further damage due to Alzheimer’s Disease. Human studies are a long way off but this is the first drug that offers this 2-pronged benefit. Not all memory loss in seniors is due to Alzheimer’s or dementia. A new study out of Columbia University in New York is indicating that silent strokes that lead to “dead spots” in the brain may be responsible for memory loss in up to 25% of the elderly. Another reason to manage cardiovascular health.

The sciatic nerves (one on the back of each leg running from the lower back to the feet) are the longest in the human body, so it stands to reason that sciatica pain is a major pain! The causes of sciatica include everything from poor posture or arthritis to a slipped disc or a tumour. If you are experiencing pain radiating through your buttocks and down the back of your thigh, consult your physician. Aging brings its own set of issues in each person.

But with the recent expansion of her store, the busy Christmas retail season and her involvement in Township mayor Jack Froese’s election campaign, the timing was off, she said. “We finally hooked up about 10 days ago, and she said ‘I’ve got good news — you’re not going to the Grammys.’” Of course, her destination was even more impressive, and the resulting attention has followed suit, said Marjanovic. With newspaper articles and spots on radio and television from B.C. to Ontario — and even a call from a Chicago radio program — Marjanovic said she’s getting a small sense of what it must be like for the people who are actually up for statuettes on the big day. “It’s just been like, wow, ‘What the hell is going on?’” Although she has no idea what the week
will hold, beyond her morning at the Avalon alongside 59 other vendors, she hopes she’ll be invited to few parties where she can rub shoulders with a few movie stars and, of course, talk shop. Marjanovic, who worked for 11 years as a sales rep for the Langley Times, opened her boutique store in 1999, before many people had caught on to the multitude of health benefits related to the tart red berry. From Fort Langley, Marjanovic has expanded throughout B.C. with her products on shelves from the Kootenays to Vancouver Island. Her goal was to be marketing Cranberries Naturally across the U.S. within the next five years, but with this bump in her exposure, she expects it could happen a lot sooner. As mayor of the Township, Froese, meanwhile, is thrilled that a Langley company has been chosen to share the spotlight during one of Hollywood’s

The two junior B hockey clubs met on Wednesday (Jan. 11) at the Aldergrove Arena in Pacific International Junior Hockey League action. The loss snapped Aldergrove’s win streak, which had reached three games following a 4-3 overtime decision over the host Delta Ice Hawks on Jan. 10. In that game, Mitchell Guiel scored the winner 22 seconds into double overtime. Robert Jang, Jordan Pughe and Alex Feighan had the other Kodiaks goals while Ross

Kevan Kilistoff, a Langley Minor Hockey Association product, was named the game’s first star after scoring three goals and adding one assist.
