hen Todd Strange entered a room, everyone knew. If it wasn’t his physique that drew attention — six-foot-three and covered in tattoos — it was his voice. Loud, goofy and always cracking jokes, he’s “that guy you always noticed if he was there, and if he wasn’t there, you definitely knew, too,” said his wife, Ashley. For the last two years, all of his friends and family have noticed his absence. ••• Todd often used his size to his advantage. Nicknamed the defender of the meek and weak, it wasn’t unusual for him to end up in hockey fights or bar fights while trying to protect the little guy. “I call him my angel with tattered wings,” his mother, Chris, said with a laugh. It was that same chivalry that sparked Ashley’s curiosity. She met Todd while floating down the Penticton River channel in the summer of 2006. “We talked for the entire time,” she recalled, with a smile. “And I was just like, ‘This guy is amazing.’” There was something intriguing about the 19-year-old, and Ashley, a recent HD Stafford graduate, couldn’t help but notice the deep scars along his neck and his chest — battle wounds from a fight, it turns out. This one with cancer.

“He said to me, ‘don’t pity me, don’t feel sorry for me,’” Ashley said. “If cancer ever came up, that’s how he made sure people would feel about him. He didn’t want people to feel sorry for him.” When he was 18 years old, Todd was diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma, a form of cancer in the lymph nodes of the body. It presented as a lump in his neck, but was primary in his sternum and bronchi. Between October, 2005 and November, 2006 he underwent 12 chemotherapy treatments and was declared cancer-free. “He just seemed so strong and he wanted everyone to think that he was strong and he could protect everyone,” Ashley said. “I guess I never thought that his cancer could come back or would come back, just because he was so tough.” It wasn’t supposed to come back, but it did. At a routine checkup 18 months later, doctors informed Todd that not only had the cancer returned, he also needed a stem cell transplant. “I was panicking,” Ashley said. “I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know how to handle it. I didn’t know what I was going to say.” She arrived at Todd’s parents’ house that night and found him sitting in the living room, completely silent. “I came and sat on the chair with him and he just started bawling his eyes out,” she said.

Police ready to teach drivers the ABCs of back-to-school MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re por t e r

RCMP will be out in full force, ready to teach a lesson to drivers who don’t follow the ABCs of back to school. RCMP want drivers to remember their ABCs, once school is back in session on Tuesday, Sept. 8. “A” is for attention; “B” is for ‘Be’ patient and “C” is for children. Lessons will include: fines, demerit points, driving prohibitions, jail, or — in the worst case scenario — the injury or death of a child, said Cpl.

Ronda Rempel of the BC RCMP traffic services. In B.C., 78 children aged five to 18 are injured in crashes in school or playground zones every year. September’s arrival means more children will be on or near roadways and drivers need to get out of ‘summer mode’ quickly, said Rempel. During the first week, school times vary across the province, so drivers are warned to be alert and to prepare for kids arriving and leaving school at all times of the day.

Drivers who are distracted, might fail to see a child running across the street or a stopped school bus. Tragedy can happen in the blink of an eye or in many cases, a glance at a text. “Put the coffee and breakfast sandwich down. Lipstick and mascara can wait. Keep both of your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road,” said Rempel. Police will be enforcing the 30 km/h school zones this month.

A Langley RCMP response to a complaint about three young men smoking pot ended with the seizure of a massive quantity of illegal items, including brass knuckles with a built-in taser. On Aug. 26, around 2:30 p.m., one of Langley’s traffic officers responded to a complaint of males smoking marijuana in the 5700 block of 203 Street. The officers were able to quickly locate the trio and their vehicle. They were immediately arrested for possession of a controlled substance. A subsequent search of their vehicle resulted in a significant number of items being seized, said police. These included: • A loaded .45 calibre semi-automatic pistol (later determined to have been stolen in Calgary in May, 2014; • A switchblade knife; • A set of brass knuckles with a built-in taser; • Seven cellphones; • A marijuana grinder; • Over $4,000 in Canadian currency; • Over 100 individual packages of suspected heroin; • Over 100 individual packages of suspected crack

cocaine; • Dozens of individual packages of suspected crystal meth; • Dozens of individual packages of suspected powder cocaine; The three suspects, aged 23, 20, and 17 years old, all from Surrey, have been released from custody, and the investigation is ongoing. Charges will be recommended. “This is a great example that highlights two key areas for police,” said Langley RCMP Supt. Murray Power. “First, we continue to encourage citizens to call police for any suspicious or illegal activities as you never know what it may lead to. “Secondly, (it illustrates) the officer safety issues police face daily, especially those engaging in vehicle stops or searches. “In this case, risk was present due to the potential loss of currency and drugs causing desperation on the part of the suspect. The loaded firearm and other weapons raise the risk even higher as it could put the crazy thought into the suspect’s mind that the weapon(s) may present a way out,” said Power. “This always ends badly.”

“I think that’s the first time I realized, ‘Whoa, this is real.’” Todd immediately went for rescue chemotherapy and in April 2009, began the transplant process. He had six phases of strong chemotherapy — so powerful they nearly killed him — followed by a reintroduction of stem cells to kick-start his system. Remarkably, he barely missed a day of work. Todd started a new job at Davidson Brothers Mechanical in Burnaby the same day he found out his cancer had returned. “It was so amazing and incredible and kind of scary that the whole time he was going through chemo, he just kept going to work,” Ashley said. “He would take one day off, and then he would go back.” Afraid that people would treat him differently, Todd didn’t even tell his boss he was sick. His father, Les, eventually called his foreman. “I remember so many mornings where he was throwing up and he still went to work,” Ashley said. Through all of this, he finished his plumbing apprenticeship and earned his journeyman ticket on Oct. 15, 2010. ••• Todd’s dream was to be a firefighter, like his dad, who was a Burnaby firefighter for nearly 40 years. He was well on his way, earning a trade for his resume and working on his transplant recovery. Until a small spot was discovered on his lung. It was cancer, again, and this time the treatment was drastic. The lung would have to be removed. It was the first time Todd’s spirit was truly crushed. “When he woke up and he asked the question about his lung, he just sobbed,” Chris said. “He was so upset.” With only one lung, he would never be a firefighter. He couldn’t pass the physical tests to get in. It was heartbreaking for Les as well. “Les was always so strong for Todd but he couldn’t deal with that, “ Chris said. “He said to me, ‘I spent my whole career going into chaos to create calm, and I can’t create calm in my own family.’ “He couldn’t fix it.” But Todd was determined to live. Just 14 days after surgery, he was discharged from the

He didn’t want to be “Todd with cancer.” He just wanted to be Todd. To this day, most of his friends still don’t know the details of what he went through. “He would ask me not to tell people because he didn’t want anyone to look at him as weak, and that was his biggest fear;

I was doing whatever I could from my heart. ASHLEY WALLACE-STRANGE

that people would think he was weak, and that Todd wouldn’t be able to protect them,” Ashley said. This put Ashley in a difficult position. At times she felt more like his nagging mother than his girlfriend, and she had no one to confide in, as Todd refused to let anyone know what was really going on. Emotionally, it was pushing her to her limits. Working as a delivery driver, she remembers days where she would cry the entire drive to her clients, fix her makeup, make her delivery, then cry the whole way back to the office. “I was so emotional I could not hold it together at work,” she said. “I felt like I was breaking down every day.” “Even though I’m not the one who’s sick, I felt a really heavy weight.” ••• After each episode of cancer, the Stranges would come

together for family holidays in Mexico. It became a place of celebration for Todd. Not only was it where he proposed to Ashley in January 2011, it was also where they planned their wedding. Things were going well for him at this time. He recovered from his lung surgery and bought his first condo with Ashley. That was, until two weeks before the wedding: The cancer returned, more aggressive than ever. This time the doctor gave him chemotherapy in a pill form. The side effects had a two-week delay, he was told. Todd and Ashley were married on the beach in Puerto Vallarta on May 7, 2012. The chemotherapy hit him May 8. It crippled Todd. “I feel like that was the last time he ever really walked was our wedding day,” Ashley said. “I was really scared because I saw his body give up all of a sudden. That was the weakest I saw him. “It was just really hard to accept that it was all happening, especially at that time.” Bed-ridden at home, Todd wouldn’t let anyone see him, except Ashley. Even his two sisters, Jaclyn and Kirstie, were not allowed to stop by. Ashley became his full-time nurse, yet had no medical training or knowledge about how to properly care for him. “It got to a point where I was so drained,” she said. “I had absolutely nothing left inside of me. “I didn’t know what I was doing, I was just doing whatever I could from my heart.” Continued Page 5

Family gives back at Terry Fox Run From Page 4

She was by Todd’s side 24/7. He would tell her vivid dreams of what their future lives would be like, where they would live, how many children they would have. “I started to believe that it was possible for us to have a normal life,” Ashley said. “We all thought he was going to survive.” But in reality, he was dying at home. “Basically we were trapped in a prison for a long time,” Ashley said. “He lost so much weight. I remember one week I think he only ate an orange — the whole week. And I would beg him, I would be crying on my knees begging him to eat.” She begged him to go to the hospital, too, but he always refused. Todd hated the hospital. “I remember waking up at night, or not being able to fall asleep at night, and just staring at him, worried if he was still breathing,” she said. “I was so fearful that he was going to die in the house with me there alone.” Finally, she reached her breaking point. After months of being by Todd’s side, Ashley left him alone in the house for 24 hours. When she returned, he agreed to go to the hospital. He died five days after being admitted on May 1, 2013 — one week shy of their first wedding anniversary. He was 26 years old. “When Todd died, everything died with him — the whole future and vision that he created,” Ashley said. “It didn’t just feel like I was losing him. I felt like I was losing my future, my children, my whole life.” ••• Today, Todd’s family is continuing to heal and part of that process is helping other families dealing with cancer. There are many government programs available to help caregivers of terminally ill loved ones, but Ashley and the Stranges were not aware of them at the time. “This has already come and passed for us, but someone might be just starting to go through it in the early stages,” Ashley said.

“It’s really important for them to know and realize that there are resources out there and there are people to talk to.” Her hope is that no one else will have to endure the isolation that she felt in those final months with Todd. “Sometimes, what helps the most is knowing that you’re not alone,” Ashley said. “Because feeling alone is probably one of the worst feelings you could ever feel,

and there were many times I felt alone. “I didn’t know how to talk to people and I didn’t know how to deal with things. I was young, of course, but also at the same time I wanted to be strong. “I thought that being strong meant you just have to face it and deal with it, but what I’m learning now is that people with courage are able to talk about things.” Throughout the process, she has also become passionate

about cancer research. Ashley spent hours online researching different methods of ttreatment for Todd, a and believes a cure will be found one day. “We need more money put towards cancer research because there has to be more than just chemo, there has to be more answers than that,” she said. “Chemo is destroying people. It doesn’t just destroy the cancer, it also destroys everything else that’s good inside of you.” The Strange family is now giving back through events like the Terry Fox Run, which is happening in ttwo locations in Langlley on Sept. 20. This is the second year in a row that Ashley, Chris and both sides of their families are coming together for the run. They want to create a legacy for Todd, and they see many similar characteristics of strength and determination between him and Terry Fox. “Even though Todd’s gone it’s not like cancer is over,” Ashley said. “Cancer is still going.”

Jessica Johnson enters the “Radical Raptors” birds of prey outdoor presentation at the Greater Vancouver Zoo carrying Denarius the Gyrfalcon on a heavy leather falconer’s glove. There are a few double-takes from audience members at the sight of a 10-year-old holding the largest member of the falcon family, a sharp-eyed hunter with razor-like claws, impressive speed and a generous wingspan. Johnson handles the hooded Denarius with practised ease, handing the bird over to Dilan Praatt, the adult in charge of the presentation. She earned her volunteer position by undergoing hands-on training in the care and feeding of feathered hunters, including learning how to tie a one-handed falconer’s knot with her eyes closed, and how to prepare meals for carnivores. She is the only zoo volunteer her age who has mastered processing the raw meat meals for the raptors, a task not for the squeamish. Praatt calls his young assistant “very keen, very motivated.” “I’ve always had a passion for animals,” she says. But not ordinary creatures. Her mother, Heidi Johnson, says Jessica has always had an interest in more exotic animals, starting with whales, at the age of seven months. Then, a few years later, Jessica went to the zoo in Aldergrove and saw the raptors demonstration, where kids actually got to work with the birds. Radical Raptors was founded by master falconer Gary Worley, whose fascination with raptors and falconry began at the age of 11. He grew up to run the National School of Falconry in the UK, flying and breeding falcons and raptors of all species for falconers all over the UK and the ruling family of Qatar. Continued Page 7

Township explains why Noel Booth park stayed so green MUNICIPALITY RESPONDS TO COMPLAINTS ABOUT WATERING OF PLAYING FIELDS DURING DROUGHT D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r

A Township response to a complaint over watering a community park during the current water restrictions says the practice is allowed because public playing fields with natural grass “represent significant investments that can be lost if not irrigated.” The email by Al Neufeld, the acting recreation, culture and parks division director, was sent to a Township resident who was unhappy to see how green the grass was at Noel Booth park on 36 Avenue near 200 Street despite the stage three water restrictions imposed by Metro Vancouver. The exchange of messages was distributed to members of council and released to The Times with the name of the resident edited out for pri-

vacy reasons. In his Tuesday, Aug. 25 response, Neufeld explained that watering of the playing fields was allowed under the Metro stage three rules and was necessary to keep them usable. The playing fields at Noel Booth are built on 16” of sand and require regular watering “to maintain the the health of the turf and the safety of the playing surface” Neufeld said. The watering during the warmer summer months is needed to “establish the strength of the turf fields so they can be open during the winter months for community soccer use and the spring months for baseball” he added. He added Noel Booth also has its own well to water the east fields, reducing the amount of water it draws from the municipal system.

Job fosters interest in the exotic From Page 6

Then Worley moved to Canada where he opened the first Bird of Prey centre in B.C., directing falconry demonstrations for Grouse Mountain, Kamloops Wildlife park, and the zoo. Jessica was seven, going on eight, when she first saw the Radical Raptors demo. “Her eyes lit up,” her mother says. But Jessica had to wait a

frustrating year before she was considered tall enough to participate in the kids’ program, where she learned how to handle the various birds, including Denarius, Harley the Harris’ Hawk, and her personal favourite, Hagrid, the great horned owl that likes to make audience members flinch by making fast low-altitude passes over their heads. It has been a lot of fun. “The people here are very nice and it’s a good experi-

ence,” Jessica says. The “Radical Raptors” Birds of Prey presentation runs daily through Sept. 7 at the zoo at noon, 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. The presentations are approximately 15-20 minutes in duration. The zoo advises they are weather dependent but rain or shine there is always an opportunity to meet the raptors. For more information visit the Greater Vancouver Zoo’s website at www.gvzoo.com.

The ceremonial groundbreaking is in the books, but it’s probably a bit early yet to start getting too excited about the new Aldergrove recreation centre. It will be nearly three years until we can start blasting down water slides or floating gently along the lazy river at the new aquatic facility. But trust us, when the time comes, you’ll find us near the front of the line. Closer to completion is the new Timms Community Centre next to City Hall, with its gymnasium and walking/ running track, weight rooms and a range of community amenities scheduled to open in the spring. Add to that the Langley Events Centre in Willoughby, Walnut Grove’s top-notch recreation facility, WC Blair pool in Murrayville and the George Preston Centre, serving Brookswood residents, and we think it’s fair to say Langley’s recreational needs are looked after. Now, perhaps, is the time to turn our attention to another segment of the population that has not been as well served by getting serious about a cultural and performing arts centre for the Langleys. We’re not talking about another arena-style concert bowl, but an honest-to-goodness theatre, with proper seating, decent acoustics and a proscenium-style stage. Tens of thousands of dollars have already been spent on a consultant’s study, which described to both councils and the other user groups that participated, Langley’s ideal theatre. It called for a building that could accommodate an audience of 600 among other features. That was more than two years ago. Since then, aside from a few quiet rumblings here and there, we’ve heard nothing, leadin us to fear it is just one more study destined to gather dust in a drawer. True, our neighbouring communities boast theatre facilities that Langley residents are both welcome and encouraged to patronize. However, some of the most popular concerts and productions take place through the fall and winter months — a less than inviting time to be on the road for a lot of drivers who prefer not to travel long distances after dark. With a price tag in the tens of millions, it won’t be inexpensive. But neither are ice rinks and water parks. Isn’t an investment in a population’s cultural well being as valuable as one directed toward its physical health? We think so. The stage is set. Now it’s time for some action.

Question

of the week

Will you vote differently in the upcoming federal election than you did in 2011?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Highway not to blame they

The Malahat highway claimed another life last weekend. But is it really the highway itself that we should be blaming? It’s how drivers use the roadway more than the roadway itself that is the problem. Speed is being considered as a major factor in one of the weekend crashes, while alcohol is being investigated as a contributing factor in another. That’s the people getting behind the wheel and behaving recklessly. One might have expected, as we had the first rainfall in months, that weather and slippery roads might have contributed to the crash toll, but according to police, not so. The message is clear. People need to slow down on the Malahat, not pass and tailgate like crazy people. You widen the road and the yahoos just take it as a licence to go even faster, bullying their way down the pavement and around the bends at a clip that would make a race car driver gulp and grab for a handhold. Who hasn’t seen the lunatic who almost forces a car off the road at the end of the passing lane only to be forced to hit the brakes hard by the multi-car line of traffic ahead that’s going pretty much the same speed as the car he was so desperate to pass? Almost inevitably he then rides the bumper in front of him until the next passing section. Get these drivers to slow down and we’ll all be a lot safer. — Cowichan Valley Citizen

Staggered fee structure Block party revealed storm’s silver lining may be way to go for Aldergrove aquatic centre Editor: I am incredibly pleased that we are able to build a brand new facility of this calibre in the Township and that as a new councillor, I am able to keep my commitment to the residents of Aldergrove. After decades of talk, it is great to finally have some action. Township residents pay for these facilities and their upkeep through their property and business taxes. The Township’s current financial policy keeps fees for anyone using recreational amenities at a moderate level and in many cases provides a subsidy for our residents that require it. These financial policies have been implemented to benefit residents and to encourage a healthy community. Non-residents who utilize Township facilities, don’t pay the taxes, yet still enjoy the

same rates as our residents. So, at the next Council meeting, on Sept. 14, I will be proposing that Township staff investigate the possibility of implementing a staggered fee structure in the Aldergrove Aquatic Facility for non-residents. As a business owner, I understand a balance must be struck to maintain the volume of use vs. a price-point threshold. We need users in the facility to pay for it but there is a line there, and hopefully as staff look at models and best practices from other regions, a formula will emerge. For example, based on current pricing, a family of four will be able to use the new Aquatic facility for about $11 a day. A non-resident family of four can perhaps pay $15 a day. That is still an incredibly rea-

sonable fee for the “experience” that a visiting family will have in our new facility. Perhaps these additional revenues can even be earmarked to pay for a permanent pool cover or provide additional low-income subsidies for more Township families and seniors. With increased fiscal demands for new and expanded services, coupled with growing demands from non-residents, I think this policy consideration is necessary to maintain the existing high quality level of service for Township residents. Staggered fee structures like this work in many municipalities across the country, we need to be asking these questions and looking at alternatives, always. ANGIE QUAALE, COUNCILOR, TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY

Editor: The fierce storm Saturday took the Lower Mainland by surprise with its power outages, downed trees and extreme wind. But tucked away from the blustering elements there was a celebration going on at “The Paddington,” at 5650 201A St., in the City of Langley. About 50 people were in attendance for the first annual block party, hosted by owners Donna Francis and Donna Moore. Save On Foods manager Chris Whymark and assistant manager, Dean, were there, bright and early, with their tent, barbecue and hot dogs to help residents enjoy the day. Homelife Titus Realty was also in attendance, with their contribution of delicious desserts, pop and chips. Homelife Mascot Gerome the Gnome gave out free hugs, and suckers to all. The auxiliary police also attended the event, supplying safety tips and fun tattoos and stickers. Several items were also brought for the food bank. Two amazing 10-year-old girls did face painting and the colouring contest was won

by two-year-old Khloe Newell. The smell of fresh popcorn, supplied by Nolan Francis, filled the air. The block party wouldn’t have been complete without music and dancing in the streets, hosted by resident Candis Newell. Deborah Lee, also an owner, showed up with goodie bags for all the kids. Partiers noticed a couple of strong gusts of wind and a bit of rain, but somehow remained unscathed by the elements. The silver lining to this story is the many friendship that were kindled and the outcry of gratitude from people being brought together. One resident donated a 50-inch TV to the amenities room and talk was already in session about having a kids movie and popcorn event. It wasn’t till people were leaving at 5:30 p.m. that they realized the amount of destruction that had happened outside. Looks like the Paddington may be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. DONNA MOORE,

Lack of law enforcement disappoints Editor: As we all are aware, we have a serious drug and homelessness problem in the City of Langley. This summer has been full of drug activity in Douglas Park and, unfortunately, the City and the RCMP have not impacted the drug users dealers and prostitution activity. I am very concerned that this activity is taking place so close to an elementary school. It is truly beyond any rational thinking that this activity continues without any type of intervention. As a citizen of Langley City I have made many calls to the RCMP and City officials with my concerns, along with others in this commu-

nity. On Aug. 28 the annual movie in the park was held and it was good to see families enjoying this event. Unfortunately, there were some that choose to use this event like it was their private party — drinking alcohol and urinating in public view, with no regard or respect for the families that attended. A fellow citizen called the RCMP and to my knowledge there was one arrest. We all stood and watched, to our surprise, as the other individual was let go by the RCMP. To top it off, he uses a powered vehicle to get around. I approached the officer after

their business was concluded to ask why that individual was set free, intoxicated on a powered vehicle. The constable immediately got his back up and asked what business it was of mine. I explained that we have a lot issues and crime taking place at Douglas Park. The constable replied, “What’s your point?” I proceeded, saying I thought operating a powered vehicle while intoxicated was against the law. Again the constable’s reply was, “What’s your point?” At that moment I decided as a citizen and tax payer in this com-

munity this attitude was in no way justified. I have met with many from the RCMP who are courteous and deserve our respect. Unfortunately, it’s a constable like the one I encountered that night that paints a bad picture, and truly that type of attitude does not belong in our community when they need us as much as we need them to take a bite out of crime in Langley City. I would also like to know, given the issues at the park, why there was no security or, for that matter, a constable assigned to this event. JOHN WOODWARD, LANGLEY

Family loses 200-year-old tree to storm

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

A Douglas fir more than 200 years old was blown down in the windstorm, leaving one Fort Langley family with new landscaping on their property. Karen Smith and her family returned from vacation to find one of their largest and oldest trees had come down â€” its root ball reaching more than 20 feet in the air, they estimated. Smithâ€™s son Harry was shocked by the sight. His â€œeyes were huge looking at it,â€? she said. Her oldest daughter remarked that it looks like an asteroid hit the ground where the tree once stood.

Tree will be left to decompose

From Page 10

“We weren’t home when it happened, but we were home during the 2006 Stanley Park windstorm,” said Smith. A bunch of our trees went down that year and the whole ground shook.” The Smiths live on an acreage near Trinity Western University. An arborist estimated the tree to be more than 200 years old. Another tree on the property is estimated to be 300 to 500 years old, but without counting its rings, the arborist couldn’t give an exact age. The Smith family is sad to lose such an impressive old tree. “But nobody was hurt and that’s the most important thing,” said Smith. The tree is much too big to do anything with so they are leaving it to decompose naturally. The trees that have fallen before offered homes and life, she said. Birds have made nests in the fallen trees.

Township offers tips for storm debris cleanup

MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti m e s Re po r t e r

Wondering what to do with all the branches, tree trunks and stumps left behind by Saturday’s wind storm? Residents in the Township’s collection zone are asked to put leaves and twigs into their Green Can. Smaller branches must be bundled with string. Large piles of branches, tree trunks and stumps piled on boulevards throughout the Township will be collected by municipal crews over the coming weeks. All residents within the Township may call 604-532-7300 to arrange for pick up if storm-related debris has not been cleared by Sept. 14. If there are any large branches, trees, or hanging debris on or above a roadway, call the Township.

Crews are still out in full force clearing downed trees all over Langley, with Allard Crescent being among the hardest hit areas. The Township is also asking people to put their spoiled food into organic waste containers for pick up. Meat should be taken out of its packaging before it is discarded. More than 750,000 BC Hydro customers were left without power on Saturday, making it the largest outage in this province’s history. The float homes in Fort Langley were the last to have power restored, leaving residents without potable water for four days. The power outage also affected service George Preston ice arena and curling rink. The arena will be available for use on Sept. 8 and the curling rink will reopen on Thursday, Sept. 17.

TOM FLETCH E R Bl ack Pre s s

The B.C. legislature is being recalled Sept. 28 for a fall session that will likely deal with increasing penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking. The B.C. government has signaled its intention to increase penalties in both areas. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced preliminary results of public consultation on distracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiffer penalties for using smartphones while driving. Anton said the current $167 ticket for distracted drivers is not sufficient for repeat offenders, who could have their vehicles impounded. Saskatchewan has introduced a one-week seizure of the vehicle for drivers who get two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart. After dry conditions sparked an early start to the B.C. forest fire season, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced a review of penalties for violating campfire bans and tossing lit cigarettes. Thomson appointed Prince George-Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP superintendent, to lead a similar review of those penalties. Morris said he was considering the vehicle impoundment option for careless tossing of cigarette butts, and prohibiting people from camping in provincial parks if they violate campfire restrictions. Fire bans allow use of camp stoves or barbecues with briquets for cooking, but conservation officers continue to find people lighting wood fires that give off sparks and can spread in dry conditions.

Work officially begins on new Aldergrove recreation centre

Single Moms’

Oil Change

With the ceremonial turn of a shovel, site work began this week on the new Aldergrove Recreation Centre. And in May, 2018, a one-of-akind recreation complex and outdoor aquatic facility will open, with an arena, fitness centre, outdoor pool, and aquatic complex that can be enjoyed by people from throughout the region. “This is the start of something very exciting for the Township of Langley and the community of Aldergrove,” said Mayor Jack Froese, who was joined by members of Township council and the community for the event. The ceremony was held on Sept. 2 in Aldergrove, where preparatory work is now underway to make way for the new centre. The site work is to be completed by February of 2016. The new centre will feature a two-level, 550-seat arena, fitness centre, indoor walking track, and multipurpose rooms. The outdoor water park will include a six-lane, 25-metre pool, waterslides, tidal pool, current channel, a children’s aqua structure, playground, and picnic area.

Community steps up after bike stolen from Langley girl with special needs MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Some good has come out of a bad thing that happened to a special Langley girl. Several people have come forward offering to buy a new bike for 14-year-old Cayla Morris. Last week, The Times reported that a bicycle which belonged to the 14-yearold girl with special needs was stolen. It was taken even though it was chained up at her Murrayville townhouse. Her mother Jo-anne explained that Cayla had just learned how to ride a

Kid'n Around Children's Centre EST. 1999

bike last year — a huge accomplishment. She was enjoying cycling and it was good exercise. Since then, several Langley residents have come forward to offer to buy Cayla a new bike. “I’m just in total shock. That’s incredible,” said Jo-anne, who started to cry when she was told of the community’s kindness. Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks said she was really pleased to receive a couple calls from people wanting to help. Anonymous donors have come through and now Cayla can pick out a

new bike and put some bling on it, too. One person offered a $200 gift card to Walmart, where the original bike was purchased. Another person has offered to buy whatever bike Cayla picks out. Bike theft has been a serious problem in Langley this summer. In the Morris’ case, the criminal brought bolt cutters and took the bike directly from their house. He returned the next morning when a neighbour caught him in the act and he was arrested. He is known to police.

Creative passion strong for Daigneault GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

From an early age, Lisa Daigneault showed a knack for working with her hands, and without much help. At age five, she took apart and put back together an Easy Bake oven. Two years later, she painted the floor and walls of the family’s cement basement. And as a teen, Daigneault fixed up a wooden bench outside the family’s home. “So my parents kind of knew,” she said with a chuckle. What they knew then was what a lot of people have been learning the past few years: Daigneault is a skilled DIYer, or Do-It-Yourselfer. The 35-year-old grew up in Langley and after attending Columbia Academy in Vancouver for broadcasting, she spent time working in Prince Rupert and Prince George before landing work in Windsor, Ont. But all the while, her passion for DIY projects remained. She began with refinishing old furniture and giving it new life, but soon started enhancing those skills with crafty projects. Recently relocated — she now

works for the Canadian Traffic Network (CTN) for NewCap radio, delivering traffic news to listeners on a trio of Vancouver stations (Z95.3, LG 104.3 and CISL 650) — a glance around Daigneault’s Langley condo offers a snapshot of her passion. The dining room features a 125-year-old buffet as well as a table she sanded and stained herself. She has a pair of dressers, one which is 110 years old while the other is 60 years old. There are also two solid wood bedside tables and a solid wood coffee table and end table, all of which she has sanded, stained and painted herself. She also upholstered a king sized headboard, a project she completed from start to finish. A wall shelf is an old pallet and the bathroom has a ladder transformed into a towel holder. The condo also features a wall-mounted cat scratcher, and then many pieces of home decor, from mason jars to vases and picture frames, all made and crafted by Daigneault. “For me, it is just taking old pieces of furniture and making them new,” she explained. “I have always enjoyed this.”

“I love pieces with history, so (this) was a really cool concept for me.” “You are going from something raw and ugly and not very pleasant to look at (and) the end result is just so fulfilling. It is satisfying.” Daigneault searches for materials at thrift stores and garage sales and then uses the knowledge she has gleaned to complete her projects. “You have to research it, you have to Google it, you have to get ideas from other people, you have to watch shows, that’s how I do it,” she explained. Prior to moving back, Daigneault began selling some of her work, through her small online business, Redone It Again. The first piece she sold was a solid wood dresser that she paid $4 for. Daigneault listed it for $30 and within 20 minutes, it was gone. She was quickly flooded with calls and emails looking for similar pieces. Daigneault has not set up her business since coming back, but has sold some of her work, mainly to family and friends and through word of mouth. Continued Page 18

“When I first got back to B.C., I had six dressers, so when the moving truck arrived and people were helping me move stuff, they were like ‘why do you have so many dressers?’” she said. “I didn’t want to part with any of them, but they sold just like that.” It is never easy to decide what to keep and what to sell. “It is hard because a piece of you has gone into it. The hardest part is in your head you know you should share it, but it is like giving a piece of yourself away.” She is considering setting up her business once again. “I am testing the waters and things are different. The things that people wanted (back east) are different than what they want here,” she explained. “People are more into crafts (here) than they are into the big pieces of bulk furniture.” She does the majority of her work on her patio, but also occasionally uses her brother’s garage in Chilliwack when she needs more space. In the meantime, Daigneault — who is also two semesters away from completing her psychology degree and hopes to teach broadcast students one day — is blogging (Radio Girl Gone Rustic is at lisadradio.wordpress. com) and posting YouTube videos (lisadradio2) of how to become a DIYer. She is also wants to help a family in need by redoing their bedroom — headboard, dresser and bedside tables — with hopes that a business may step up and donate some bedding. The deadline to apply is Sept. 28 and Daigneault will do the work in October. To apply, email her at lisadradio@gmail.com.

Q: How common is oral cancer

$449

and how can it be detected?

REAL SOLID WOOD. 16 DIFFERENT STAINS TO CHOOSE FROM.

It is estimated that over 4,000 Canadians will be diagnosed with oral cancer this year. Although heavy smokers and drinkers are at the highest risk of developing the disease, about 25% of cases occur in people with no Dr. Wai Sze Cheung Dentist history of tobacco or alcohol use. Unfortunately, oral cancer is often discovered in its later stages, when the prognosis for the patient is poor – overall, the five-year survival rate is around 60%. Early detection and screening has the potential to significantly reduce the number of deaths and morbidity related to this disease. Your dentist has the expertise and training to detect early signs of oral cancer. He or she will use both sight and touch to inspect your head, neck and oral soft tissues for any signs of disease. Optional screening tools may also be used, such as VELscope, which uses fluorescence technology that allows the dentist to detect soft tissue changes that cannot be seen by the naked eye. #104-6424 200th St., Langley 604-533-3000 wcdentalctr@shaw.ca NEW PATIENTS WELCOME!

This year the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) is proud to unveil what is anticipated to be one of the most popular Prize Homes in recent years. The historic PNE Prize Home Lottery, which awarded its first home to a lucky fairgoer 81 years ago, is relocating this year’s home to Naramata, B.C, in the heart of the Okanagan wine country. “We are proud to have located PNE Prize Homes across British Columbia, but we were looking for something very special for the site for our 2015 Home,” says PNE Vice President of Operations Jeff Stickland. “Once we saw the site in The Benchlands development we knew that we had found one of the most spectacular settings we’ve ever had for a PNE Prize Home.” The Benchlands at Naramata is located on the southeast shore of Okanagan Lake, to the north of Penticton. The area features beautiful scenery, a rich cultural history, sprawling vineyards,

wildlife reserves, and unparalleled views of South Okanagan. “We’re thrilled to have been chosen as the PNE Prize Home partner,” says Randy Kowalchuk, President of Naramata Benchland Properties Ltd. “The PNE Prize Home is an important BC tradition, and we are confident the lucky winner will be impressed with the incredible views, idyllic settings and strong sense of community that make up the Naramata Benchlands project. This is a special home, and we’re happy to welcome it to a special place in the province.” Imagine opening up the blinds of the home’s expansive windows to reveal a lake view, then enjoying a cup of coffee while seated on

Persistence paying off for Ayers LANGLEY’S NIKKI AYERS ON A REMARKABLE RUN ATOP RUBICON GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

When Nikki Ayers wants something, chances are she won’t stop until she gets it or accomplishes her goal. And this trait — along with a little white lie — began at an early age and helped get her start with horses. “My parents had no desire to ride horses,” said Ayers. “I begged and begged and begged to take riding lessons when I was six years old (and) the only place that offered riding lessons was at the old Thunderbird and they said I was too small. “I wasn’t heavy enough and I wasn’t tall enough,” she explained. “They said come back when you are 60 pounds.” A petite child, that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon. So after Ayers turned seven, her mother took her to the equestrian centre anyways. “My mom lied about how heavy I was and I got to start riding lessons,” Ayers says proudly. “(And) every Saturday, I went to learn how to ride horses.” Given a taste of the sports only further cemented Ayers’ burgeoning passion for riding horses and she soon set her sights on purchasing a pony at Thunderbird, Simon Says. “He was $800, which was ridiculous back then,” Ayers said. “(My mom) gave in and bought me that darn pony.” She began doing hunter/ jumper shows before switching to dressage. “When you event, you have to be good at dressage, jumping

Langley’s Nikki Ayers, aboard Rubicon, has had a strong summer. The 45-year-old was a shortlist candidate for Equine Canada’s Pan Am Games team earlier this summer.

and cross-country, so I think it is just the fact that my personality, I like to be a perfectionist, I want to work hard at everything and be the best that I can be,” Ayers explained.

“I think that is what drew me to that; I had to work really hard in all three phases.” This was nearly 40 years ago and Ayers, 45, is still going

strong in the sport she loves. She recently finished as the second level open champion at the B.C. dressage championships held at Vancouver’s Southlands Riding Club from Aug. 21 to 23. And it has been quite a ride for Ayers the past couple of years as she progresses up the ranks of the sport. Earlier this summer, she was named to Equine Canada’s training list for the Pan American Games. More than 100 athletes had declared for the list back in November, and Ayers made it down to the final 30. Ultimately, she did not make the final list

of four riders, but is still surprised at just how far she progressed. “I never dreamed in a million years I would be in this position,” she admitted. “Coming from my background, we had no money … I never even really thought I would do something like this. “(And) I certainly never had the horse to do something like this.” She was referring to Rubicon, a Swedish warmblood cross owned by Andree Stow. But when Stow got injured a few years back, she wanted Rubicon to continue riding, so Ayers took over, even riding Rubicon herself in competitions. And the pair have progressed, going from entry level events to national level competitions. “(Andree) just kept saying, ‘enjoy the horse, enjoy the process and see where this goes and wherever it takes you, it takes you,’” Ayers said. Ayers credits Rubicon for much of the duo’s success. “This animal is amazing,” she said. “Honestly, he has made it. Every time he goes out, he tries as hard as he can.” In addition to competing, Ayers also owns and operates Harmony Farms, an indoor arena and equestrian centre her family built in Hazelmere Valley back in 2002. The five-acre farm has capacity for 16 horses and Ayers offers lessons and training. And while representing Canada would be a wonderful opportunity — but something she has never really considered a major goal — Ayers is just as happy continuing to do what she has done since quitting her job as a travel agent in 1998 to follow her passion. “I can’t believe how lucky I am,” she said. “Every day I wake up, I get to do exactly what I want to do, every day. “It is amazing.”

Sixth-generation Camaro experience, and the Canadian built V8 at the heart of the SS model delivers on that promise.” The Camaro powertrain lineup includes an Ecotec 2.0L turbo, a next-generation 3.6L V-6 and the LT1 6.2L V-8. The new 2.0L turbo delivers the most efficient Camaro ever, with SAE-certified 275 hp (205 kW) and 295 lb-ft of torque (400 Nm) – and has a GM estimated fuel consumption rating of 7.8 L/100km highway and 0-96 km/h (60mph) acceleration well under 6 seconds.

Together with her first husband James (Scotty) Shields, and their three children James, Helen and George, Mom moved down to the big city of Vancouver in 1941, followed by a short stint on Pender Island during the war before settling in Ladner a few years later. There she married Allen Roy Adams (Roy) and had another son, Herb, with whom she lived in the final years of her life — in her own suite, of course, and with the constant
