Randy Caine suspects it was a side effect of local issues

MATTHEW [email protected]

A Langley medicinal marijuana advocate is worried he may not be able to travel abroad safely after he was abruptly ejected from Mexico.

Randy Caine worries that local controversy and opposition to his medical marijuana activism in Langley led to his being labelled a drug dealer by Mexican federal police.

Caine and his wife, Maureen, were on a trip to Puerto Vallarta in March of last year. When they landed, Caine was taken aside by Mexican federal police to an interroga-tion room, and asked about criminal activ-ities, and if he had ever been arrested.

“They said I had been identified as a drug trafficker and a security threat,” Caine said.

Caine was put on the same plane to return to Canada. Maureen had to arrange another flight to follow him.

Sunwing indicated that the information likely reached Mexico through the Canada Border Services Agency.

Caine fears that his disputes with local officials landed him a Mexican watchlist.

“If you start gos-siping, your words can leave your commun-ity,” Caine said.

Over the past dec-

ade, Caine has found-ed three outlets of Hempyz, which sells hemp-based products and marijuana-relat-ed gifts and novelty items. Caine sparred with Langley City over a bylaw that banned the sale of hemp-based products, even though other stores in the downtown sold products containing hemp.

In 2008, he founded the Langley Medical Marijuana Dispensary. The dispensary was raided in July 2011 by the RCMP, but Caine wasn’t charged until October. He eventually received an absolute discharge after he pleaded guilty two regulatory viola-tions of the Medical Marijuana Act.

Caine has made Freedom of Information requests for documents related to himself from vari-ous government agen-cies, including Canada Border Services and the City.

During his attempts to set up a marijuana dispensary, his run for City council in 2011, and after the police raid, civil servants and

politicians emailed one another about Caine.

“He is a dealer and that is it,” former City mayor Peter Fassbender wrote in one email to Coun. Rudy Storteboom in 2011.

Caine would like some answers about how Mexican author-ities were told he was a drug dealer, when he has never been convicted.

“They’re just deter-mined that I’m a crim-inal,” he said.

Years after founding a medical marijuana dispensary, Caine is looking at possibly getting a prescription himself.

He was diagnosed with lung cancer last year, undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.

“I’m at a point in my life where I would like to travel,” Caine said.

But with the threat of being labelled a drug dealer, he plans to stay in Canada for now. Caine is still try-ing to get more clarity from the government over what happened and his status as an international traveller.

While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province.

Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy.

Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

To learn more about auto insurance fraud, go to icbc.com/fraud

Fraudulent claimstake a toll onB.C. drivers

Some fraud is organized and orchestrated by a group of individuals, namely, staged accidents and stolen vehicle rings.

Other types of fraud are less obvious. Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It’s not unheard of for people to embellish their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can’t work when they’re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets – we all end up paying for those who cheat the system.

ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims les. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims. They’re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that ags patterns and predictors of fraud.

By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates.

Fraud. It cheats us all.

Flagger struck: A work crew’s flagger was hit by a vehicle Monday afternoon in the 22700 block of 56th Avenue. According to Langley RCMP, the victim suffered a broken bone but is expected to recover.

Coldest Night of the Year is Saturday.HEATHER [email protected]

People can learn a little about the what it’s like to be on the streets at night at the third annual Coldest Night of the Year walk Feb. 20.

The Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope will host the community walk starting at 8 p.m.

“It’s an awareness campaign as well as a fundraiser so we hope that people leave with a better sense of knowledge of what Gateway does,” Brenda Vanderhorst, the volunteer and project coordinator.

As of Feb. 15, 99 walkers were registered. By the evening of the walk there are expected to be more than 300 as participation grows

each year.Vanderhorst added that anyone

interested in volunteering is wel-come. Contact her at 604-514-7375.

Walkers can raise pledges or pay the $25 registration fee them-selves. Adults who raise more than $150 and young people who raise more than $75 have their registra-tions waived. The goal is to raise $30,000 for Gateway’s emergency shelter and meal centre.

“You can sign up as a team and recruit your own team or you can sign up as a walker,” she said.

Participants can choose routes of two kilometres, 5 km or 10 km. People can learn more or can sign up at www.coldestnightoftheyear.org/langley but those who show up Feb. 20 are still welcome.

Another search found sick cats and kittens.MATTHEW [email protected]

The BC SPCA has made its second major seizure of animals in the Lower Mainland in as many weeks, taking 69 cats and 15 dogs from a property on the Langley-Surrey border.

The property was advertised as a boarding and breeding facility, said chief SPCA enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty.

She said that as of Tuesday, one cat and one kitten had been euthanized because they were in a dire state.

Unlike in previous cases, this was

not a puppy mill or an individual hoarding animals, Moriarty said. The owner appears to have been boarding some of the animals.

“Some of them do belong to other people,” Moriarty said of the dogs,

cats, and kittens seized Tuesday.She has started getting emails from

people who thought they had left their animals at a licensed facility, Moriarty said. Animals will be returned to their rightful owners, she said.

Moriarty couldn’t discuss much about the SPCA’s contact with the owner of the facility, in the 19400 block of Colebrook Road.

The animals were not malnour-ished, but were seized because of environmental and medical concerns, Moriarty said. Animals were suffering from upper respiratory disease, ring-worm, and possibly from Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV).

A veterinarian is still examining the many animals seized, she said.

SPCA seizes 84 cats and dogs

BC SPCA

A cat and her kittens were among the animals seized over health concerns.

Construction crews are busy putting on the final touches of the new Timms Community Centre.

The public will get to see what the new facility looks like at the grand opening celebration Feb. 24.

Stop by from 4 to 7 p.m.

Festivities include speeches, ribbon cut-ting, entertainment, refreshments, tours, prizes and more.

The new Timms Community Centre will open with extended hours, more community and rec-reational programming and new amenities.

These include a gymnasium, running/walking track, weight room with Android-based cardio equip-ment to personalize workouts, spin room, games room and multi-purpose rooms. There’s even going to be an outdoor court-yard with a cement ping pong table.

“What we are building today is a healthy future for our community,” said Ted Schaffer, mayor of Langley. “Our vision for the new Timms Community Centre goes beyond a fitness facility and is focused on creating oppor-tunities for everyone to lead a healthy lifestyle. Residents of all ages will come to enjoy the unique experience Timms

will provide, and the facility will become a significant experi-ence for downtown Langley. Residents will be able to utilize vari-ous tools with their electronic devices to individualize, enhance and socialize their workouts through the use of different Android-based work-out machines, to the unique indoor amen-ities.”

The large new development also includes the City branch of the public library and all City hall departments.

The public will have a chance to try out the equipment and take part in tours and demos. There will also be Hatha Yoga, Spin Fit, Ballroom Dancing, and Zumba.

Down the road, watch for more pro-grams for youth, seniors, families, new immigrants and per-sons with disabilities.

Mayor and council will cut the official ribbon while attendees enjoy a piece of cake or enter the raffles.

To celebrate the new facility, the pub-lic can sign up for a free seven-day pass. People who purchase their 10-visit, 20-visit, 1-month, 3-month passes get in on spe-cial deals if they buy before prices increase March 1. The passes are valid at Timms and all City facilities.

OUR VIEW

No help in budget for local transit

A recent survey of Surrey residents showed very high support for some kind of light-rail transit coming to that city.

Nor would many Langley residents, especially in Langley City, Brookswood, or Willoughby, object to extending light rail as far as our commun-ity.

But unfortunately, our provincial government doesn’t seem to have any intention of putting forward the money immediately for such a major project.

The City of Surrey is willing. During the last election, both federal Liberals and Conservatives touted their infrastructure bona fides and promised cash for local projects.

But transit projects in B.C. are a three-legged stool. If the province doesn’t come to the table, there’s no way to get a major, expensive, and lengthy project like a light rail line off the ground.

We need better transit in the Lower Mainland, and particularly South of the Fraser. Surrey’s population is ris-ing rapidly. Where once we had a single large city – Vancouver – surrounded by suburbs, increasingly we have multiple centers of density, including in Coquitlam, Richmond, Surrey, and even in former-ly-rural Langley.

Surrey is the second-largest community by population in B.C., and it’s growing fast. The Langleys are, essentially, successors to Burnaby and New Westminster. And no one would suggest that cities like Burnaby and New West don’t need all the transit they can get.

Right now, the economy is uncertain. Liquid Natural Gas hasn’t taken off yet. Alberta is in trouble. Our dollar is in the doldrums.

But our growth hasn’t slowed down one iota.

TransLink has failed to solve the prob-lems of transit planning in the region. The provincial government, as the creator of TransLink, needs to step up and either toss TransLink the money, or start doing the planning and funding itself.

L ast year’s transit referendum was ugly. TransLink lost, but nobody really won, because we were left without an immediate path for-

ward on getting more buses, light rail, SkyTrain, SeaBuses, or anything at all.

But sometimes you have to take the long view.

Thanks to recent experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, we can peer into the future of transit in Metro Vancouver! Gaze with me, into the years yet to come as we uncover how our descend-ants will deal with transit!2017: Surrey Light Rail ceremonial

groundbreaking. Politicians in purely decorative hardhats will plunge gleaming golden shovels into the dirt to kick off construction of the multi-year project.2018: Surrey Light Rail ceremonial

budget increase. Politicians will scatter and be very, very busy as the first cost overruns arrive.2020: Second TransLink Plebiscite.

The plebiscite is aimed at increasing property taxes only on those home-owners whose properties are worth more than $2 million. Fails because by 2020 in Metro Vancouver a tenth of an acre occupied by two mortally ill goats is going for roughly $3 million.2022: Light rail service reach-

es Langley. Chilliwack (population 700,000) demands light rail immediately to serve its burgeoning population.

2026: Light rail reaches Chilliwack. Hope (popula-tion 500,000) demands light rail.2027: As the Third

Great Housing Crash hits, ridership finally equaliz-es as people colonize the long-vacant mansions of Vancouver. A split level in Burnaby now sells for $500,000 again, rather than the GDP of Argentina.2030: Hyperloop opens,

connecting Vancouver, Richmond, Delta, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, Maple Ridge, Tri-Cities, Burnaby, and North Shore.2031: Hyperloop accident sends sever-

al cars of passengers sailing through the upper atmosphere. Hyperloop closes.2032: Remains of Hyperloop repur-

posed as low-cost, high-speed alterna-tive to ferry travel to Vancouver Island. Passengers report arriving disoriented, bruised, nauseous. Still more popular than waiting for the ferry.2040: Fifth TransLink Plebiscite.

Populace rejects bid to tax digital cryp-tocurrency transactions. Sad TransLink CEO announces that this will mean no extension of nuclear powered double-decker commuter trains to Salmon Arm.2042: All self-driven cars banned from

the roads. Robot cars strike for higher wages, better grade of electrical current, overtime pay.2046: Seventh TransLink

Plebiscite held secretly. TransLink keeps 27 vot-ers in a Skinner box for a month. Still fails to convince them to increase taxes on tissue paper, light beer, and mint flavoured toothpaste. TransLink reluctantly scraps plan to build orbital launch facility.

2070: Cheap matter transmission gates invented. Traffic woes solved. Buses and trains recycled. Populace rejoices. TransLink CEOs, finally popular, are awarded key to MegaVan (formerly known as Metro Vancouver).2071: Lineups begin outside popular

matter transmission stations. Patrons complain about having to wait up to four minutes to get from Harrison Hot Springs to Kits Beach.2072: Populace demands new matter

transporters. Robot cars offer to resume taking people, but are shooed back to their pens at Mission raceway.2073: Tenth TransLink plebiscite fails

to charge fees on dog licences to pay for a matter transporter in every house.Read Bob Groeneveld’s Odd Thoughts online

‘Downtown’ column stirs up memoriesDear Editor,

I enjoyed reading Bob Groeneveld’s column [When downtown was a million miles, Feb. 11 Opinion, Langley Advance].

I am also formerly from Port Alberni. Bob’s column brought back fond memories

of “downtown Port” and the lunch counters of Woolworth’s.

Thanks Bob!Kim Gosal, Langley

Dear Editor;There is myth being

repeated in the media that light rail is slow, slower than SkyTrain, in fact as slow as road traffic, which needs to be corrected.

Studies have shown that streetcars operat-ing in mixed traffic are about 10 per cent faster than buses, but street-cars or trams are not quite light rail.

Modern light rail is a streetcar or tram that operates on dedicated or reserved rights-of-ways, with priority sig-nalling at intersections.

The reserved right-of-way enables modern LRT to obtain commer-cial speeds of that of a metro, with commercial speed largely deter-mined by the number of stations per route kilometres.

The optimum station spacing for LRT in a urban setting is about every 500 metres to 600 metres, but with light-metro stations (SkyTrain) being so expensive, station spa-cing for metro tend to be further apart, one to 1.5 kilometres apart.

This does give fast-er commercial speeds but it deters ridership because door to door travel times are more because the transit cus-tomer must travel much further to get to transit than he/she would with light rail.

Modern LRT can obtain actual speeds equal to or faster than our present SkyTrain, if need be; in many cities today modern LRT can also act as a passenger train operating on the mainline railways at mainline speeds.

It is the inherent flex-ibility of modern LRT,

which can operate as a streetcar (in mixed traffic); as light rail on its own dedicated route; and a passen-ger train, often on the same route, that made light metro such as ALRT/ART SkyTrain (only seven built in 40 years!) and the French VAL obsolete.

Those who continu-ally dismiss modern LRT with one excuse or another are not telling the truth and they never explain why only seven ALRT/ART Skytrain systems have been built in 40 years and why none have ever been allowed to compete directly against modern light rail.

Could it be that tran-sit authorities around the world do not want to invest in expensive “Edsel” style transit, such as SkyTrain?

Malcolm Johnston, Delta

Light rail fast as SkyTrain

Dear Editor,According to various dictionaries, health care is

defined as the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease and injury, whether physical or mental, that affects humans.

In other words, health care is all about improv-ing or maintaining the health of an individual.

Medically and ethically, abortion goes against the very definition of healthcare and violates a doctor’s sacred oath.

Yet so many liberals today say that abortion is a health care right.

But abortion isn’t health care, it’s the exact opposite of health care.

It’s not the preservation of life but the taking of life.

Dean Clark, Langley

Abortion contradicts health care definition

Dear Editor,It is inconceivable

that such an operation recently closed by the SPCA has dated back many years accord-ing to some [Puppy seizure largest in B.C. history, Feb. 11, Langley Advance].

Perhaps such oversights wouldn’t have happened if the Campbell government hadn’t been allowed to deregulate many industries as they

did. Maybe breeding operations were never regulated, but abso-lutely should be.

Regulations and licensing, minus bureaucratic zeal-ousness, can go a long way toward pre-venting such tragedies in breeding and many other industries.

Hairstyling and aes-thetics come to mind, as well.

Dan Anders, Langley

ˠAldergrove Chamber of Commerce bolstered its appeal to the provincial

government for an Aldergrove liquor store with the argument that doctors sometimes prescribe a bottle of brandy for their elderly patients.

Their five-year-old stole the show during a July 2015 wedding.HEATHER [email protected]

One of the most romantic days in the lives of Amie and Scott Emondson was broad-

cast Valentine’s Day and made people around the world laugh.

The Langley family had their wedding video on America’s Funniest Home Videos Feb. 14.

They were married last July. “When we were pronounced hus-

band and wife, it was then time for ‘the kiss’,” Amie said.

“The video, taken by my mom,

shows the kiss, and you hear a little boy’s voice yell out ‘eeewww gross’. The video then pans past our daughter’s facial expressions, which was a shocked look while laughing, and our other daughter did a facepalm as if to say ‘ohh, Cohan’,” Amie said.

“Our son, Cohan, was five at the

time.”The entire place erupts with

laughter.“It was the highlight of our

special day,” Amie said. “I’m not shocked he stole the show. He is the little comedian in our house-hold, also the youngest.”

Cohan has reacted to their kiss-

ing in the past. The reactions have been “Oh my gosh, they’re smooching again” or “Why do you guys kiss all the time?”

It’s always followed by giggles. The big loud “eeewww gross” was a new one from him.

“I originally put it on my Facebook, it had got quite a reac-tion from friends and family. After a few suggestions, we decided to upload it to AFV,” she said.

On Sept. 30, Amie received a phone call from the studio in L.A. saying the video was tentatively scheduled for AFV. They then went through the process of signing the contracts to release the video to the show.

“AFV is airing our video on Valentine’s Day – how fitting for a wedding blooper,” Amie said.

‘Kick off your Sunday shoes’ and enjoy Footloose.HEATHER [email protected]

Ariel Moore is like most kids, she wants to get out from under the

yoke of her parents. Hers may be more strict than most, since daddy is a preacher and their own has outlawed dancing and music.

A couple of generations have now seen the tale of this American small town.

D.W. Poppy Secondary presents the musical ver-sion of Footloose Feb. 24 to 27.

Virginia Nikkel thought she’d try out for a small part in Footloose.

She wasn’t familiar with the movies – the original from 1984 nor the 2011 remake but had been in previous Poppy shows,

such as Legally Blond.She figured a small role

would be fun.“It’s a really fun produc-

tion,” she said.But at the last minute,

she auditioned for the lead of Ariel, the teen who defies her parents about boys and dancing and music and back talk and

basically growing up.Nikkel, a Grade 11 stu-

dent, has always been a member of choir so she’s accustomed to singing in front of others.

“I’d never sung before people as a solo,” she said.

And she once took a bal-let class, a single class that is, so she was no Ginger

Rogers.But Nikkel went for it

and won the lead. So she decided she had better watch the two movies to bone up on her role, and like the rest of the large cast, has been putting in long hours to ready for the musical.

Joining her in the cast are

Grade 12 student Nic Dyke who portrays the antagonist Rev. Shaw Moore whose attempts to ban dancing in a small town only serve to incite young people to dance. Ariel’s mother, Vi Moore, is portrayed by Penny Shogan, Grade 12.

Shows are at 7 p.m. Feb. 24 to 27 with a 2 p.m. matinee on Feb. 27 as well. Tickets are $12 for students and seniors and $15 for adults. Shows are at the school, 23752 52nd Ave., and tickets are at the door.

Despite the original movie being made many years before she was born, Nikkel said it stands the test of time. It is, after all, about the eternal struggle between teens wanting to grow up and parents not wanting them to.

Nikkel, who also enjoys sports and visual arts, plans to keep her hand in the arts as she heads beyond high school but is looking at taking nursing at Trinity Western University or head-ing to Bible school.

Eaton and Rio are 2 of over 200 cats living in a cat colony in Langley. Since they have been here, these two have shown us that they are super bonded and need to go to a home together. Rio is all black and is more outgoing than Eaton. They require a quiet home without small kids. Respectful dogs could be an option as well.

Eaton and Rio

Paprika Merlin is a super handsome German Shep-herd. He came to us as a stray with just about no manners. This guy is keen on learning and will do just about anything for a cookie! Mer-lin is working hard to become a good canine citizen but he will need his new family to be keen as well. He could live with the right dog, but no cats or small kids for this one.

MerlinSambuca is an adorable, tuxie with a whole lot of love to give! At 2 years young, Sam came to us as a stray with a few scrapes and scratches. He has gotten a dental cleaning, neuter and tattoo and is ready to go home. He could live in a home with a dog or possibly kids. He is very affectionate but does tend to swat when he has had enough pets. This teddy bear is a drooler, so his new family will need to love him, drool and all!

The annual Cupcake Day fundraiser will help the local shelter.

MATTHEW [email protected]

Bake a cupcake, help a shel-ter cat. Eat a cupcake, give a hand to a shelter dog.

That’s the simple idea behind National Cupcake Day, which this Feb. 29 will see local indi-viduals and businesses serve up treats to humans.

Locally, treats can benefit the Patti Dale Animal Shelter, operated by the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS).

In Langley there has been a big surge of interest this year, and that’s likely a good thing for the shelter, said Jayne Nelson.

“I think we’re already over $2,000 raised,” said Nelson, the shelter’s animal welfare manager.

Last year there were just under 20 teams or organiza-tions baking cupcakes. This year there are more than 40 signed up.

That gives Nelson hope that the money raised may be more than last year’s, which was close to $10,000.

“I think it was word of

mouth,” Nelson said. “I think it builds every year.”

LAPS has some international fans as well, including an Australian team that sent in $160.

The money raised will likely go towards the ISOasis facility LAPS plans to start building this spring. ISOasis is an extra

building for stray cats, which need more room at LAPS. It will allow staff to isolate more cats from the general animal population and give them more care when they are first brought in.

LAPS will host its own cup-cake party at the shelter Feb. 29 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Dear Anne,I recently bought

some primulas, and I was wondering what I can use to deter pesky snails, slugs, insects, etc. from feasting on them without having to use insecticides.

K, CoquitlamDeterrents are fairly

specific to different pests.

The easiest and most effective method is a slug bait containing ferrous iron. Slugs eat it and later die.

Alternative methods include sticky copper tape fastened around bottomless plastic con-tainers or other barriers. Slugs and snails don’t cross copper. Other forms include copper mesh.

A couple of Slug Saloons containing beer will attract the slugs or snails. They fall in it and drown. Check them every day. Cleaning out the bodies gets nasty if you leave them a few days.

Very strong-smelling plants repel slugs and snails. This

includes the artemesia family, the mint family and sage. Hand-picking works if you keep at it each day, espe-cially if you go out with a flash-light at night on slug patrol.

The worst time for any pest attack is usually

just after a transplant. The plant is under stress: trying to put out roots and get used to its new situation.

The worst pest for prim-ulas is vine weevils. They eat notches in the leaf edges and the larvae destroy roots. They like to hide near their chosen plant in daytime. If you put folded newspaper nearby the weevils are likely to hide inside. They don’t fly. They just walk very slowly so they’re easy to catch.

An alternative is nematodes. Use around the third week

of July while the larvae is still close to the soil’s surface.

The nematodes are tiny living worms and have to be used quite soon after being bought.Dear Anne,

I was informed by my neigh-bour that egg shells are good for the garden. So I have been keeping them. Is the membrane inside of the shell okay?

Ellen Trelenberg, Port Coquitlam

Eggshells provide calcium and it’s fine to leave the mem-brane inside the shell. Once the eggshells are dry, you have two options to prepare them.

The quickest way is to put them in an old blender and grind them into a powder. This gets the calcium into the soil right away in a form the plants can use soon.

The second is to store the eggshells and crunch them up with a potato masher. It takes a while for eggshells flakes to break down in the garden, but they give soil a loose texture.

Frank Hunt was surrounded by family when he celebrated a century of living, laughing, and loving.

ROXANNE [email protected]

Enjoying a “proper” cup of coffee, ensuring there is plenty

of laughter in one’s life, and surrounding one’s self with the love of family – these are the key secrets to Frank William Hunt’s longevity – or so he’ll tell folks.

The 100-year-old Murrayville resident shared some of these tips and his own ren-dition of a song called What I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee, during a birthday bash held in his honour ear-lier this month.

Hunt actually turned 100 on Feb. 3, which he marked in the acute

care ward at Langley Memorial Hospital, explained his daughter Sylvia Butler.

He had been living at home until just two weeks earlier, when he suffered a minor stroke and was rushed to hospital.

Fortunately, he was doing well enough the following weekend that doctors sprung him for a few hours, allowing him to return home for the day to enjoy a “real” centen-arian-style party.

He was surrounded by his extended family, including his three children – Valerie, Sylvia, and Richard – along with their spouses and eight grandchildren and eight great grand-children. He was pre-deceased a few years ago by his wife of 75 years, Florence.

The evening’s enter-tainment featured a 45-minute movie called 100 Years of Being Frank.

“It included film of

some of the English monologues and stor-ies that Dad is still famous for saying, and even at this great age, he is still word per-fect,” Butler said.

It also featured her father singing the coffee song that he’s apparently already become synonymous for at the hospital.

“When the doc-tors come in on their rounds, Dad sings this for them. I cannot think of a better check for a TIA or stroke can you?” Butler said.

“He is even heard cheering up his fellow patients with his rendi-tion of What I Want is a Proper Cup of Coffee, a real tongue twister for anyone, never mind a centenarian.”

Where it began

Hunt was born in 1916 and emigrated from

Birmingham, England in 1970, along with his wife Florence, to join their daughters and families in Delta.

He was a foreman at the General Electric Company during the Second World War, supplying electrical and engineering prod-ucts to the military.

Hunt met his future bride in 1934.

She apparently heard from her twin that a handsome young man was working at his uncle’s green grocers shop on Saturdays.

“She ran past her twin, and into the shop and asked him for some tomatoes. And he, not looking at the scale but at her, asked her out to a movie,” Butler said, recounting the story as she’d heard retold many a time during her childhood.

Apparently Hunt was so smitten that he gave Florence two pounds of tomatoes for the low price of sixpence. Turns out, it paid off. Their first date – just a few days later – was the viewing of the release of King Kong.

The couple married exactly four years later – to the day.

Hunt acknowledges that his British sense of humour, quick retorts, and funny quips make every-one else laugh, but assuredly have also been essential to his long life. After all, he said, laughter does a body good!> More: langleyadvance.com,

A local group of volunteers are reviving a popular program that drove cancer patients to and from their treatments.

“There are many people, in my experience, who need it,” said George Garrett, one of the organizers and a former volun-teer driver with the Canadian Cancer Society.

He recalled meeting one can-cer patient who tried to get to an appointment using bus and SkyTrain.

“It took her all day, and involved quite a bit of walk-ing, and she wasn’t capable of walking too far,” he said.

That kind of dilemma is what prompted Garrett to join the new Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society. Like other former drivers, Garrett was concerned when he heard the previous program was shutting down.

Garth Pinton is president of the new Volunteer Cancer Drivers Society, and John McInnes is helping to organize.

“Our concern was… although there are some private servi-ces, they have to charge for the service,” said Garrett.

For years, the Canadian Cancer Society coordinated a group of volunteer drivers. In B.C. in 2014, the drivers took 1,100 patients with almost 400 drivers giving rides. They were paid 41 cents per kilometre for

gas costs.The Cancer Society cut

the program in 2015 to save $400,000 a year.

The society also cited a declining number of users and the rise of other services, such as the United Way’s Better At Home program.

Garrett drove for two years for the Cancer Society before he had to give it up to spend more time caring for his wife.

He was inspired to take on the task after his daughter’s cancer treatments and subse-quent recovery.

She suffered from a melan-oma that invaded her lymph nodes, and was treated in 2001.

“The cancer has been in remission,” Garrett said. “She has since run several mara-thons.”

The system was simple – a cancer patient phoned in about an upcoming appointment, and the society dispatched a driver.

“The driver stays with them, even if it’s a longer appoint-ment,” Garrett said.

The retired intrepid radio reporter said he met a lot of nice people driving.

He even got a home-made card from a nine-year-old pas-senger addressed “To George, my favourite cancer driver.”

The new society plans to pick up where the Cancer Society left off, offering free rides, primarily in the Delta, Surrey, and Langley areas, but also north of the Fraser River.

In Vancouver, Richmond, and Burnaby the Freemason’s Cancer Car Program was already working with the Cancer Society and kept going when the program was shut-tered.

The new group has not yet started offering rides, and is gathering funding, volunteers, and organizing first.

“It’s a real task,” said Garrett.

The new society is accepting donations at CIBC (transit number 00720 and account number 3048810).

Do you sometimes feel that you can hear well, but not fully understand what’s being said? This can be most evident in social conversations and watching television. Fortunately, there may be a solution for some people dealing with this type of hearing loss ‑ the Audéo Venture hearing aid has been designed specifically to help improve speech comprehension without being noticeable in the ear.Poor comprehension in conversation can possibly be caused by undetected hearing 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 making it difficult to hear consonants like s, f, t, k, h and g.Speech comprehension is even more challenging 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. Phonak Audéo Venture Hearing AidsThis past year, Swiss audiologists have developed a hearing aid that can, in qualified candidates, improve speech comprehension for those with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can sign up for a free demonstration of the Audéo Venture hearing aids by calling now to do so. During your appointment, you will be given a hearing test and speech comprehension analysis. If

inner-ear damage is present, a hearing care professional will determine the difference relative to normal hearing. These values are then programmed into the hearing aids, which precisely take into account and balance the frequency range of the person being tested. The demonstration phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the hearing aid technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The hearing aid 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 can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for some clients.Want to find out more about the Audéo Venture hearing aid?

Lory Fraser reflected on her daughter Christy, the inspiration behind last weekend’s memorial meet.TROY [email protected]

A fresh-faced girl, fro-zen in time, smiled in the Langley Events Centre’s concourse last

weekend.The school portrait of Christy

Fraser, taken not long before her death, shows Christy wear-ing a red sweater that matched the colour of her thick, wavy hair and the freckles dotting her cheeks and the bridge of her nose.

E. coli poisoning cut Christy’s life short on Aug. 5, 1992.

She’s forever 12 – and her spirit lives on through the

annual gymnastics competition that bears her name.

The Christy Fraser Memorial Invitational marked its 23rd year at the LEC this past Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, attract-ing more than 650 athletes representing clubs from as far as Kamloops and Powell River.

Abig part of the meet was Christy’s mom Lory, a founding member of

the host Langley Gymnastics Foundation (LGF).

During the event, Lory acknowledged gymnasts who embod-ied Christy’s spirit and sportsmanship. They were judged for cheerfulness, on being a team player, and on how they comforted teammates if their routine didn’t go quite as well as planned.

“I look for that,” Lory said. “I look for smiles, because then I know that they’re cheerful and

they’re happy and they want to be there.”

A former LGF member, Christy was remembered as a dedicated gymnast who had the ability to overcome adversity with a cheerful smile and a “try again” attitude.

Upon Christy’s passing, a memorial fund was set up in her name, which not only fund-ed badly needed equipment for BC Children’s Hospital, but also

contributed to the LGF.

The funding is used to purchase some of the equipment used by LGF athletes today.

“This July she would be turning 36,” said Lory.

She reminisced about her daughter and how much she

supported her teammates.“She was cheerful, she was a

team player – she would be the one comforting someone who

was upset… she would kind of slough things off and carry on.”

Christy’s gymnastics career started at the age of seven with the Langley Flash (LGF’s earli-est incarnation) and continued for another five years before her death. She had a natural inclin-ation for gymnastics.

“She was very articulate,” Lory said.

“The beam was one of her strongest pieces of equipment. She was the first athlete in the club to do the back walkover [on beam].”

The inaugural memorial meet was held January 1993, six months after

Christy’s death.“We’ve gone from having

30 athletes to 650 today, and there’s been more than that when it’s trials,” said Lory, who’s on the event’s coordin-ating committee. “I’m over-whelmed. It’s an exhausting weekend for me but it’s a good exhaustion.”

BASKETBALL

Playoff time for WGSS

The Walnut Grove Gators downed Abbotsford’s WJ Mouat Hawks 92-81 on Saturday to capture the Fraser Valley East senior boys basketball title.

The Gators are now competing in the Fraser Valley Quad A championships qualif-ers this week.

The WGSS senior boys open Friday at Walnut Grove Secondary, taking on the winner of the Sardis/Fraser Heights match-up. Opening tip-off at WGSS is 8:15 p.m.

As of Feb. 9, the Gators were third in the B.C. Quad A rankings behind the top-ranked Kelowna Owls and Vancouver’s Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs.

TROY [email protected]

Saturday in West Kelowna, the Langley Rivermen fell a couple of goals short of making it three wins

in a row – but you couldn’t fault their effort.

Their brief win streak was halted at two after a hard-fought, 3-2 loss to the host Warriors at Royal

LePage Place.Prior to Saturday’s

contest, the Rivermen were on a bit of a roll.

They clipped the Surrey Eagles 4-2 Feb. 11 in South Surrey and blanked the Vernon

Vipers 2-0 Friday in Vernon, before their one-goal loss to the Warriors to cap a tax-ing road-trip.

Expecting the Rivermen – or any team in the B.C.

Hockey League for that matter – to win three road games in as many days, all on enemy ice, is a ridiculously tough ask.

However, Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson wasn’t going to

use the sched-ule as an excuse,

noting that the ’Men

played a great game against the Warriors in a losing effort.

“Actually, I can’t agree with that,” Henderson responded, when asked if his team’s schedule played a role in Saturday’s loss. “Considering it was our third game in three nights, I thought we played exception-ally well [versus the Warriors]. We had really good jump and I thought we were physical. I was pretty proud of the way we played.”

Henderson said every BCHL team is in the same boat when it comes to a busy schedule, especially after Christmas.

“Its been a tough stretch for us, no doubt, but most of the teams go through it,” Henderson said. “We have to make sure we’re prepared when we play. We have to be ready.”

Next weekend is more of the same.

The Rivermen play Thursday in Prince George, Saturday in Coquitlam, and Sunday afternoon at home, where they will face the Victoria Grizzlies with a 3 p.m. opening puck drop at the Langley Events Centre.

Congratulations and God bless you Elliot

on your 18TH BIRTHDAY this last Friday, February 12.

You have demonstrated many remarkable character qualities as you have acted as your family's spokesperson on the recent tragic loss of your young sister Velissa Johnson. Every parent, brother and sister would be most blessed to have a son and sibling like you in their family.May God's hand be upon you as you graduate and launch into your chosen vocation.

William Neil (Bill) Coons1953 – 2015

Bill passed away on December 28, 2015, aged 62, following a courageous three year battle with cancer. He will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed by his family: his wife Michelle Coons (Gorosh), daughter Julia, Michelle’s children Nicole

Fisk and Spencer Fisk, sisters Donna Heard (Larry) of Oliver and Robyn (Justin Jagosh) of Vancouver, and nephew James Heard (Amber) of Abbotsford. Bill was predeceased by his parents, June and Roger.

All are welcome to attend a celebration and remembrance in honour of Bill at

REDWOODS GOLF COURSE, 22011-88th Avenue, Langley BC, V1M 3S8

on Saturday, February 27, 2015 between 2:00 and 6:00 p.m.

Walter H. Baragon1919 – 2016

It is with deep sadness but great honour that we pay tribute to Walter, devoted husband, father, uncle, stepdad and grandpa who passed away at 96 yrs, on January 23 with family close by his bedside. He is survived by loving wife Joyce, children Ellen, Tom Stanbrook and June Long, and many adored grand- children, nieces, nephews, stepchildren and their families.

Born in 1919 in La Pas, Manitoba to immigrant parents Pietro Baragione (Baragon Eng.) and Rosa Maier, Walter's siblings included his brothers Art and Earl and sisters Pearl and Mabel.

Walter's journey through life was adventurous and memorable from youth--hitching a ride in a train caboose across Canada, to lifeguarding in Nelson, gold panning in Barrier, plying the great lakes with the Merchant Marine in Ontario, sailing the high seas with the Royal Canadian Navy during WW II, and later running his own sawmill in Princeton. An aspiring writer, Walter wrote of his ideas in private journals. He had a lifelong love of knowledge and books.

Starting in the 1950s, Walter worked on several bridges and shipping ports as a pile driver and overseas in St. Vincent, West Indies in the 1960s, daring the risks of a dangerous but to Walter an exciting and challenging career.

But farming was in his blood; he enjoyed having two hobby farms, in Surrey and Langley. Following retirement he was remarried to Joyce and joined her on her family's farm in Langley where he lovingly raised his cattle for the next 3.5 decades between his many travels with Joyce around the globe.

Walter will be remembered for his honesty, humour, intellectual curiosity, caring ways, concern for mankind, hard work, and strong spirit.

A celebration of life will take place at the Fort Langley Senior’s Hall on Feb. 21 at 1:00 p.m.

Meet the peopleICBC doesn’t want you to meet.

If you have been injured in a car accident, you may think ICBC will take care of you. However insurance companies have a vested interest in saving money and reducing costs, not paying you for your pain, loss or inconvenience.

Sharene has been a member of the DBM team for nearly two decades, working to protect the rights of personal injury victims. At the negotiating table or in court, Sharene will present your case in a manner that ICBC adjusters and lawyers will respect and understand.

If you are injured and wondering what happens next, call Sharene to set up a free initial consultation about your case. We’re on your side.
