SOME FACTS
The Trans Mountain Pipeline has been operating
between Edmonton, AB and Burnaby, BC
since 1953.
In April 2012, we proposed to expand the
pipeline by building a second pipeline
alongside the original.
Our goal for the entire route has been to build
adjacent to the existing pipeline within our existing
right-of-way. However, sometimes there are good
reasons to look at other options, such as safety
concerns, residential or industrial development that
has expanded since the original pipeline was built,
or environmental considerations.
We’ve been engaging with Aboriginal groups,
Landowners, communities and stakeholders
since April 2012. We’ve reached agreements
with 18 Aboriginal groups, to date.
The current work on Burnaby Mountain is to study
the proposed route through Burnaby Mountain.
Our application is before the National Energy
Board, an independent federal agency, to
determine if the project should be approved to
proceed in Canada’s best interest. Ultimately, the
federal government will make the final decision.
The National Energy Board has a recognized
process to voice concerns, ask questions
and introduce evidence for consideration.
Over 1,600 people in BC and Alberta have
registered to participate.
If approved to proceed, construction of the
expansion would begin in mid-2016 and would
be in operation by late 2018.
Let’s talk.
Ian AndersonPresident, Kinder Morgan Canada
You’ve probably seen us on the news recently regarding Burnaby Mountainand our Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project.
I think it would be good for us to talk.
We’ve talked a lot with communities about their concerns and in Burnabythe feedback was to look into routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain,rather than through their streets and neighbourhood.
Our work on the mountain over the past few weeks has been a part of thatfeasibility study. Though we estimate it will cost Kinder Morgan $40 million morethan the original route through residential streets, we want to acknowledge thebest interests of the residents of Burnaby.
We are drilling two 6-inch diameter test holes to investigate the possibilityof routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain. We are being respectfulof the environment, and when we are done, we will leave the mountain ashealthy as we found it.
Unfortunately, demonstrators chose to block our crews from doing their workand, in order to maintain the safety of our employees, contractors and the public,we were forced to pursue legal action to secure our worksite.
Freedom of speech is fundamental to our way of life. Equally so is the Canadianright to go to work and conduct business safely. We have always believed thesetwo principles can coexist if we all communicate.
We believe we have been good neighbours for over sixty years in localcommunities, including the City of Burnaby, and it is very important for usto continue open relationships.
We have conducted many workshops and open houses, met with thousandsof people and continue to respond to questions daily. The feedback we havereceived to date has made our project better and has resulted in importantchanges to our route.
Trans Mountain made a commitment to everyone who participated in ourconsultation that we would listen closely and do our best to respond to concerns.
Our work on Burnaby Mountain is part of keeping that commitment.
On behalf of all the people who work on the pipeline and project, I truly hopewe can keep talking throughout the process. Your input is important to us.
We’ll be providing more opportunities for dialogue including our upcomingtelephone town hall on December 3rd. Go to TransMountain.com to sign up.We welcome the opportunity to talk.

Former Ishtar managers usedan imaginary murder to justifylayoffs last week.
MATTHEW [email protected]
Ishtar Transition Housing Society will notbe closing its Aldergrove shelter for batteredwomen, its brand new board president said.
“We will not be shutting down, and noone will be losing their jobs,” said JohnRogers, who became president of the boardon Sunday after an internal shake-up.
Last week, the board’s acting managersannounced major changes, staff layoffs,and the closure of Libra House, one of twotransition houses for women fleeing abusiverelationships.
The Ishtar Society was one of the firstgroups in North America to open such tran-sition houses.
Former acting operations director PatRomanin told the Langley Advance, bothverbally and via email, that the society wasscaling back due to a murder, an overdosedeath, and other incidents.
“In the past year alone we have had amurder of a single mother in one house fol-lowed by a drug overdose death of a preg-
nant woman,” the email said. She addedthat incidents of “violence and/or threats ofviolence” were increasing.
Yet the murder never took place.Langley RCMP, the Integrated Homicide
Investigation Team, and the B.C. Coroners’Service were all contacted in the dayssince, and none had any record of a murdermatching the one described by Romanin.
Staff at Ishtar were unaware of any mur-ders, either.
Karen Tankard of the BCGEU contacted aworker at Ishtar.
“That was news to her,” she said of areported murder. The worker Tankardspoke to is a full-time employee, she said.
The new Ishtar Society president con-firmed that the original claims were false.
“No murders have ever taken place inany of our premises,” John Rogers saidMonday.
He confirmed that Romanin and actingmanaging director Brian Zeiner are now nolonger with the society.
Rogers said the board has also acceptedthe resignation of former president RianMartin, and other board members have leftas well.
Rogers said that the vote last week infavour of the shutdown of Libra House, thelayoffs of staff, and the streamlining of ser-vices, have been overturned.
A minority group on the board that
opposed the shutdown plans has nowbecome the majority, Rogers said.
There was an ongoing investigation tofact-check the claims made by Romanin inlast week’s statement, he said.
As soon as Romanin’s statement wasmade public, a flood of emails came toboard members disproving some of theclaims, he said. He could not yet saywhether or not there had ever been a fataloverdose, or whether or not the claims ofincreased violence were true.
In the absence of their two top managers,some board members will temporarily takeover those roles until new managementcould be hired, said Rogers.
He said Ishtar was committed to moretransparency, to working with their staffand with BC Housing, and to continuing toprovide services to women in need.
“It’s something we’re very passionateabout,” Rogers said. “No one wants to seethose houses close.”
The initial announcement of plannedclosures last week blamed the “murder”and violence on the provincial government.Romanin’s press release said drug addictsand the mentally ill were being sent toIshtar by provincial authorities.
The planned streamlining was meant tofocus on the core mission of serving abusedwomen with all services moved to the tran-sition house in Langley City.

The Langley Advance hasa new look for the new era ofnews-gathering.MATTHEW [email protected]
The news is always changing, and now so isthe look of Langley’s oldest community paper.
The Langley Advance has launched its newredesign, featuring a clean layout with morelead-ins to our website, Facebook, Twitter, andLayar presence.
“It’s designed to be quicker, in terms ofpeople being able to find things,” said RyanMcAdams, “yet still maintains our consistentcommunity coverage.”
The Advance has seen changing reader-ship patterns over the past decade, and the redesign is partly inresponse to those changes. “With more people reading print and
digital combined, we wanted ourprint product to be more reflectiveof what we can provide on ourdigital platforms,” McAdams said.
“This is about further harmon-izing our print edition with ouronline and social media outreachto the community,” said editorBob Groeneveld. “It’s just thenext step in the normal evolutionof a newspaper that has servedits community since a time wheneven including simple photo-graphs in the paper was a majorundertaking.”
The Langley Advance has beenserving the community since1931, and numbers among theolder continuously operating com-munity newspapers.

Industrial solvents from adrug lab have contaminatedLangley properties.MATTHEW [email protected]
Trevor Lassam had a goodcrop of grapes this year offsome vines along the northernedge of his Langley property.
Most of them went into hiscompost, and Lassam isn’t evensure that was a good place forthem.
Lassam’s land appears to becontaminated with an indus-trial solvent, dichloromethane.While a report released lastweek says it isn’t enough tocause health concerns, Lassamis still worried.
“What’s it doing to our health?” Lassamsaid. “We’ve been breathing it for a longtime already.”
In April, police swooped down ona house in the 20600 block of 72ndAvenue, where they found a sophisticatedecstasy lab. The drug makers had beendumping waste chemicals out of the backof a garage and down the slope.
In May, the BC Environment Ministrywarned that there could be contaminationof nearby land.
After that, nearby residents say theyhad enormous difficulty finding out whowould take responsibility for testing thesoil and water. Neighbours Diana andTom Sampson, who live farther down theslope, sent off numerous emails to vari-ous levels of government, from Langley
Township to the province.Eventually, the landlord of the former
drug lab site was ordered to undertaketesting. After some delays, a crew was
hired to drill holes on thelab site, and on Lassam’sproperty as well as anotherneighbour’s land.
“When they dug theboreholes over there, thesmell almost knockedthem out,” Lassam said,indicating one of the sev-eral holes drilled on thethree sites.
In mid-November, theprovincial EnvironmentMinistry received a SiteRisk Classification Report.
The report showed thatdichloromethane levels“were found to exceed theappropriate ContaminatedSites Regulation soil and
groundwater standards.”Dichloromethane has been the cause
of the deaths of several workers inthe United States in recent years whobreathed in too many fumes while strip-ping paint off bathtubs.
“No immediate human health risks areevident based on the SPCR,” said a sum-mary of the report’s findings.
“Further requirements may includeongoing monitoring, further investigationor the submission of a remedial plan andschedule,” said the initial report.
Right now, Lassam is still awaiting adetailed report.
“They seem to take their time,” he saidof the ministry’s response.

A meth lab took a wrongturn and wound up in thehands of U.S. authorities.
MATTHEW [email protected]
Two Canadians from Chilliwack are inan American prison after apparently mis-takenly crossing the border at Aldergrovewith meth-making equipment in their car.
Just after 7 p.m., a 1994 Pontiac GrandAm arrived at the crossing headed southinto Lynden, Washington.
The car was singled out for an inspec-tion, and officers found what theydescribed as a “boxed clandestine drug
lab” on the back seat.Bellingham Police used a robot armed
with a camera to check out the car,including the trunk. Among other items,they found gas cans duct-taped shut,strainers and bottles with white residueinside, and canisters full of chemicals.
The two occupants of the car, CalumJames Buchanan, 41, and Lola CrystalMcKay, 24, have both been arrested forthe unlawful manufacture of metham-phetamine.
It seems that the duo may not havewanted to head into the States at all.
According to court documents,Buchanan told police he was being paid$500 to deliver the equipment to a thirdparty in Canada.

A burst pipe at theLangley SeniorsCentre will impactmany people.HEATHER [email protected]
The Langley Seniors’Resource Centre willbe closed until at leastWednesday and mustundergo extensive repairafter a pipe burst over theweekend.
A maintenance personarrived Sunday evening tofind the damage.
“There was water gush-ing out,” said ShannonWoykin, the centre’sdevelopment and market-ing coordinator.
A restoration companywas on site Monday mor-ning to assess the damageand start the repair pro-cess. Fans were whirlingto start drying out wallsbut the lower portionsmust be removed due towater damage.
The burst pipe was overthe kitchen so the utilities
had to be shut off.The water was mostly
contained to the kitchen,and cafeteria seating area.There’s also some ceilingdamage.
The hall is stacked highwith food, chairs, dishes,utensils and more.
Executive directorShelley Wells said a keyconcern is all the food inthe fridges and freezersbecause the power mustbe off while the building isassessed.
“Any way people canhelp is welcome,” shesaid. “Any ideas or sup-port are appreciated.”
Freezer and fridge spacewould be a huge helpso thousands of dollarsworth of food purchasedfor upcoming events andcatering won’t have to bethrown away.
It’s a busy time of yearat the centre.
Woykin said in thecolder weather, moreseniors like to head to thecentre. There’s often a linewaiting for the cafeteria toopen.
Another impact will bethe centre’s catering, an
important revenue sourcefor the non-profit society.
The centre will be closeduntil at least Wednesdayand programs will beimpacted after that.
Wells said the centre willstrive to offer what it canover the holidays, even ifit’s just a place for sen-iors to gather and sit for awarm drink and a snack inthe lobby.
The adult day programis done in a building indowntown Langley City.The program will continuebut the meals the centreprovided will be obtainedelsewhere temporarily.

Join us intothe future
If you’re a regular reader of theLangley Advance, you will probablyhave noticed a few changes by now.We’ve given ourselves a little bit ofa facelift – a nip here, a tuck there,
and a bit of a freshening-up all around.None of this means that we’re going
to stop doing what we’ve been doing forthe past 83 years. On the contrary, this isreally just a part of our continuing com-mitment to serve the community that hasserved us so well all of these years.
The changes in the printed version ofyour community newspaper are intendedto reflect both the changing communica-tions environment that surrounds us all,as well as the way local news gathering anddisseminating continues to change.
In other words, we intend to keep doingwhat we’ve been doing since 1931 – pro-viding our community with informationand the interactive forum that make com-munity newspapers essential to a healthycommunity – but we’ll keep working ondoing it better.
The reality of community journalismover the past eight decades has taken ourreaders from mostly words printed onnewsprint, into the advent of black-and-white photojournalism, past an explosionof colour, and most recently into the virtu-ally unlimited internet, where we’ve beenproviding web-savvy Langleyites with theirlocal news at www.langleyadvance.comsince 2000. First a few hundreds of youturned our pages electronically, and nowyou number in the tens of thousands.
Our web-space reality is now aug-mented with our social media entries:“follow us” (on Twitter @LangleyAdvance)and “like us” (on Facebook.com/LangleyAdvance) are familiar entries inLangley’s community journalism lexicon.
The terrain may look a little different,but this is not unfamiliar territory forcommunity journalism. The web and socialmedia are just improved tools to do whatwe’ve done the past 83 years. A healthycommunity stays in communication withitself, to build on its strengths and toimprove on its weaknesses.
Today’s new look is about your com-munity newspaper helping to continuebuilding, to emphasize the many ways theLangley Advance is here for Langley.
– B.G.
We’ve treated ourselves to abit of a face-lift.
Newspapers do thatfrom time to time, partly
to shake things up a bit for our readers,partly to update the overall appearanceso we don’t look like we’re all old codg-ers working here, and partly to reflectthe changing reality of how we do whatwe do.
This is not the first “redesign” thatI’ve gone through in my 38 years atthe Langley Advance (geez! really!?? 38years!?? and I just tried to convince youI’m not an old codger? sheesh!).
When I started reporting news inLangley, colour pictures in the paperwere a rare thing – usually only for theChristmas edition. And here’s the reasonwhy: when I was assigned to take myfirst Christmas cover photo… it was inOctober. It took that long to send thecolour slides to Toronto to be developed,get them back, and then send them outagain for colour separations – separateplates were made of each basic colour inthe picture, to be remixed on the press.
Naturally, the fashions governingnewspaper production then were a littledifferent than they are today.
And when I started, the Advance wasalready nearly 50 years old. All the lead-type equipment was still stored in theback, but I was already in the photo-typ-setting era – one step from computers.
When I think of the oldplaten press gathering dustin the back shop then,I can’t help but marvelthat when the Advancegot underway in 1931, theHalifax Gazette – still pub-lished today – had beenrunning through the pressesfor 179 years.
In fact, the global news-paper industry was alreadymore than three and a quar-ter centuries old.
The world’s first newspaper was theRelation aller Fürnemmen und geden-ckwürdigen Historian. Published inGerman, it was printed in Strasbourgin 1605, for distribution throughoutthe Holy Roman Empire. Now a part ofFrance, Strasbourg is the official seat ofparliament for the European Union.
I’m not sure that first newspaperled to Strasbourg’s rise in importance,however. Consider the Relation allerFürnemmen und gedenckwürdigenHistorian’s first competitor.
Avisa Relation oder Zeitung, theworld’s second newspaper, hit thestreets in Wolfenbüttel in 1609. At thattime an artistic centre with one of theworld’s first lending libraries and a placewhere really important people liked tohang out, Wolfenbüttel’s tourism infor-mation now notes that people still like
to go there for all the reallyold stuff, like the rest ofGermany and Europe – butthe world’s second news-paper never seems to bementioned in the literature.Wolfenbüttel’s main claimto fame today appearsto be that it’s the mostsoutherly town of northernGermany’s more than 170towns whose names end in“büttel.”
But newspapers weren’tthe first means of bringing local andregional news to communities.
The local pub was often a preeminentclearinghouse for important local infor-mation, and there were town criers toshout out the time and the government’spropaganda. (A daring crier who dodgedthe royal missives might be putting hishead on the block, depending on thecurrent royal sensitivities).
The way the news is gathered and pre-sented has evolved throughout time.
When you think about it, the 15,000-year-old cave drawings at Lascaux inFrance might really be one of the firstcommunity news stories – perhaps out-lining the exploits of a local hunter, ormaybe a how-to guide for beginners.
Today’s new look is just anotherreflection of the evolution that we’veexperienced over the millennia.
New look draws on news evolution

As the Langley Advance helped start crowd source funding (get on board at www.langleyadvance.com), community-spirited people like 9-year-old Sara Walmsleytook the initiative to help out, it’s beginning to look like Christmas in WilliamsPark, after all. In fact, one of the subsequent comments says it all:Andrea Senff – That’s terrific!!!!

Referendum unfairDear Editor,
LNG, Site C, The Massey Replacement – each is going tomake a dent in taxpayers’ pockets to the tune of billions ofdollars. Despite the cost, no referendum is being held to askwhether the electorate desired these expenditures. In fact,many feel these projects will hurt the environment.
There will be, however, a referendum on a basic right forBritish Columbians: transit.
In Seattle, when their referendum was lost, massive cutsensued to this important service.
HandyDART passengers are not receiving the service theydeserve, due to a funding freeze. HandyDART users arebeing forced to suffer with band-aid solutions that wouldnot be acceptable to the able-bodied community.
No reasonable person questions the benefit of safe, stan-dardized public transportation seniors and disabled people.
If the referendum is lost, the provincial government willforce TransLink to decimate transit. Christy Clark is gam-bling with the future of HandyDART. Hopefully the publicwill vote in favour of funding for this essential service.

Dear Editor,November 19 was again a day for us to
remember: the day British Columbia wasdeclared a province by James Douglas.
After attending the excellent LangleyTownship and City Douglas Day pioneerlunch at the Langley Events Centre, themayors and other dignitaries came to theannual celebration at Fort Langley where,in 1858, New Caledonia became BritishColumbia. This year we were honouredto have B.C. Lieutenant Governor JudithGuichon in attendance.
The afternoon was delightful, with theRCMP in serge, the Kwantlen drummerswith Chief Marilyn Gabriel, and piper ColinBarrett piping in the procession.
Our fort volunteers were impressive in1858 dress.
The event was sponsored by the fort(Parks Canada) and the Fort Langley LegacyFoundation. Superintendent Reg Wilford,Mike Starr, and the staff were most welcom-ing hosts. It was fun!

Safety a rightfor everyoneDear Editor,
Why: are our playgroundsunsafe? …are methadoneclinics allowed to be so nearour schools? …are phar-macy licenses not under bet-ter control? …are our manyaid societies all crowdedtogether in the downtowncore? …don’t we pool ourpolice, Fraser Health, men-tal health, church charities,and human resources underone umbrella so they canbetter work together?
The homeless have to bebetter cared for, as well.They have their dignity andshould have a safe placeeither inside or outside withsanitation facilities availableto them. We see safety as aright for all who live in ourprecious city.

A LangleySecondaryplumbing teacherearned nationalrecognition.HEATHER [email protected]
Langley Secondaryteacher Jeff Dickson triesto help his plumbing andtrades students be well-rounded individuals, andthat includes having a sense of humour.
“I tease my students that basically I’mteaching them to pay taxes so I can retireone day,” the 48-year-old joked.
Dickson knew he had won the PrimeMinister’s Award for Teaching Excellencea while back but it became official Nov.28 when his family, friends, current stu-dents, former students and coworkersfilled the LSS library to see Langley MPMark Warawa present his award.
“I think it’s confirmation that it was agood career choice,” he said.
Dickson started out working as aplumber for eight years, before decidingto go for his teaching credentials.
“I came from a family of plumbers,”Dickson said. “I came from a family andgrew up in rural Langley.”
Looking back he can see how teachingwould combine with the family business.
“From the days of my bossing aroundmy younger siblings, I had teacher writ-ten all over me,” he joked.
His choice to add teaching to his RedSeal credentials paid off. He was teachingelectronics at Walnut Grove Secondarywhen he was tapped to start the plumb-ing trades course at LSS where he hastaught for eight years.
About a month ago Dickson received aregistered letter from the Prime Ministers’Office.
“At first I thought maybe I was introuble,” he joked.
It was notification that he was one of25 teachers across Canada to win theaward. Dickson is one of the few tradesteachers honoured.
“I don’t think you ever feel deserving,”he said.
LSS counsellor Marci Statham nomin-ated him, a big task with a lot of paper-work.
She was only too happy to do itbecause she gets to see the impact hehas.
“He’s not only training plumbers,” sheexplained.
Teachers have an impact on students’lives but Dickson goes beyond teachingabout joints and seals and welds andpipe.
Statham said Dickson pushes the kidsto develop as people, and think about vir-tues and values.
That can make all the difference in theworld for students struggling in school.
“So many of Jeff’s students haven’t hadsuccess in school,” said LSS principalDawne Thomlinson.
She said abou 91 per cent of his stu-dents complete the program and about 80per cent find work in the trade. Severalof his students have gone on to achievetheir Red Seal certification.
Teacher prides himselfon making taxpayers
Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance
On a Friday evening, several current and former studentsgathered to see Langley Secondary teacher Jeff Dicksonreceive his Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence.
Santa and friends – The Barnes Harley-Davidson location in Langley went tothe dogs, in a very kind and charitable way, on Saturday. The motorcycle dealership at8859 201 St. hosted pet photos with Santa, with proceeds going to the Langley AnimalProtection Society (laps.ca). While animals of all species had their photos taken, it was theones from the canine family that were the most prominent.

Donations are beingwelcomed for a one-dayChristmas store at NicomeklElementary.HEATHER [email protected]
The students of Nicomekl Elementarywill be going shopping on Dec. 17.
While not unusual, they will be shop-ping for others and the lesson to be learn-ed is about the joy of giving.
The school has its Santa’s Workshopstore, this year decorated in a gingerbreadtheme.
Students, no matter their economic cir-cumstances, select one gift for each mem-ber of their household and even get it giftwrapped.
Santa, who was able to fit a visit to theschool into his busy schedule in 2013,will again make an appearance on thatday to tour the classes to talk to studentsabout the joy of giving.
“When I went to school, we did a storelike this,” head elf Sarah Bess Miller said.
This helps the kids go from “me, me,me” to thinking about others and the joythey receive from giving.
“We collect donations all the way up toDec. 10,” Miller explained.
Then Santa’s helpers (a.k.a. Miller andother volunteers) ready the store whichwill be open Dec. 17, which just happensto fall right before the annual Christmaspancake breakfast cooked up by teachers.
Donations from the public are welcome.What is needed:• gently used items appropriate for stu-
dents to give to family members.• new, unused items such as bath sets,
gift sets, housewares, decorative items,books, games, jewelry and fashion acces-sories as well as gift wrap, ribbon, andrelated items. (Think regifting.)
Miller noted that people are asked notto donate clothes and shoes because chil-dren don’t understand how to pick theright sizes for others. As well, there isalways an abundance of toys donated.
Donations are accepted when it’s inoperation (about 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) at200th Street and 53rd Avenue, and emailMiller to make arrangements outside ofthose hours ([email protected]).

A Langley girl is joining theeffort to save Christmas inWilliams Park.MATTHEW [email protected]
A nine-year-old Langley girl haslaunched an effort to help saveChristmas in Williams Park.
Sara Walmsley made up her mindwhile she was leaning over hermother Brie’s shoulder, reading theLangley Advance.
She read about how thieves hadstolen thousands of dollars worth oflights, for the second year in a row,and how organizers had feared theywould have to completely cancel theannual two-week event.
“Once I read that, I wanted to dosomething right away,” Sara said.
She decided to ask people to bringtheir spare lights or extension cords
to her school, Alex Hope Elementaryin Walnut Grove.
She and friends put up posters, atthe school and around the commun-ity. Her principal has allowed herto make announcements over theschool PA, as well.
The annual two-week event invitespeople to enjoy the decorated parkthrough a weekend of festivities, hotchocolate, entertainment, and a visitfrom Santa Claus at the end.
Sara’s efforts are one campaignamong several that have sprung upto help the non-profit Christmas inWilliams Park Society.
After the second theft was publi-cized, locals began coming forwardwith offers of help. Society presidentBarb Sharp is now hopeful that atleast a partial event can be organ-ized with some new fundraising.
“There’s a groundswell kind ofstarting,” Sharp said.
Sharp is encouraged by all the helpand donations. If the society can put
together some more funding and afew more volunteers, it could stillrun a two-week event, though theweekend festivities might still be outof the question.
Sharp expected to be able to makea final decision by Tuesday.
Local businesses, including theLangley Advance, are helping by act-ing as drop-off points for LED lights.
Just over the border in Surrey,Kore Irrigation and Lighting, 1914028th Ave., has set aside space fordonated LED Christmas lights (theold incandescent lights can blow outfuses at Williams Park). Kore is openfrom 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Mondayto Friday.
The Langley Advance offices are at6375 202nd St. and are open 8:30a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays.
There is an online funding cam-paign at FundAid.ca/savechristmasto buy more lights.

Q: I’m heading down to Mexico for avacation. Are there any medications Ishould take with me in case I get sick?
A: If you’re heading down south, you maywant to take a few medications with youin case you get sick from the food or water.Otherwise healthy adults can take Pepto-Bismol to help calm an upset stomach, andImodium to help treat a mild case of diarrheawithout fever, abdominal cramping or bloodin stool. These severe cases of diarrhea can betreated with a prescription from your doctor,which you can take along with you. As withall medications, always follow the instructions.
To avoid getting sick in the first place, considertaking the oral vaccine Dukoral. It helps yourbody fight the bacteria that causes diarrhea,giving you more time to enjoy your holiday.
If you’d like more information, we’re alwayshappy to help. Happy travels!

Q:When buying a house, how do weknow whether it has been previously usedas a grow op?
A: Check with your local municipal/city hall to seeif they have any record on file.
1. If the home has been knowingly used as agrow – op the Seller MUST disclose this beforeyou put an offer on the house.
2. If the home has been rehabbed, ask for all invoices/guarantees and copies of municipal paperwork.
3. What to look for when viewing homes – A“Beware of Dog”sign, excess moisture in the house,a “skunky” smell, freshly painted basements, checkthe hydro meter for any tampering and most of all.Talk to the neighbours, they will tell you anythingthey know about the house and the odd comingsand goings of the occupants!.
4. Choose a House Inspector that has experience inlooking for telltale signs of something usual!
5. And always hire a Buyer’s Agent who will haveYOUR best interests in mind first and foremost.

A: A higher quality paint will be moredurable for everyday use. You can expectless preparation and a longer-lastingfinish. Improved flowing agents willhelp your paint level and minimize brushand roller marks. A high quality paintwill help your bright colours stay brightlonger and increase the longevity of yourpaint. Water-based latex paints will makefor easy application and clean up. A built-in primer will help your paint’s hide andimprove coverage, so you need fewercoats. Mildew resistance and excellentadhesion makes a higher quality paintthe right choice for any job you’re aboutto take on. I recommend trying our Dulux“Diamond” brand!

Langley’s junior A hockeyteam has a few days toregroup from Friday’sshellacking at the hands ofthe mighty Penticton Vees.
The best part about the LangleyRivermen’s B.C. Hockey League gameagainst the Penticton Vees on Friday isthat it’s over.
The league-leading Vees came into theLangley Events Centre and trounced theRivermen 6-0.
Shut out in two of their last threegames, the Rivermen have been unableto generate much offense, scoring threegoals in the past 180 minutes of hockey.
“It was a tough loss,” Langley forwardMarcus Vela said. “We got into penaltytrouble early. They’ve got a good powerplay and took it to us. From there it justcontinued; the penalties kept coming andit just wasn’t our day today.”
The Rivermen played a physical gamebut also took 11 penalties, including thefirst four of the game, and gave up a trioof power play goals.
The Vees started the scoring just threeminutes in as Miles Gendron beat BoDidur for the game’s opening goal. Theyproceeded to tack on five more andreceived some solid goaltending fromBrendan Barry, who turned aside 24 shotsfor his second shutout of the season.
“Overall, I was happy with our effort,”Vees head coach and general managerFred Harbinson said. “This is a nice roadwin for us in a tough place to play andwe’re glad we came away with a win.”
“They’ve got a very solid team,” Velasaid. “They know how to work togetherand know how to exploit your weakness-es. We just have to tighten up our endand we’ll be okay.”
The loss dropped the Rivermen’s recordto 13-10-1-3.
Despite losing to West Kelowna onSaturday, the Vees remain on top of theInterior Divison, and the entire BCHL,with a 23-4-0-1 mark.
Rivermen 3, Surrey Eagles 1The Surrey Eagles are having a season
for the ages – for all the wrong reasons.The Rivermen kept the Eagles grounded
by beating them 3-1 last Wednesday,Nov. 26, at South Surrey Arena.
The Eagles are far and away the worstteam in the B.C. Hockey League, with a3-20-0-3 mark.
Even so, they put up a good fightagainst the Rivermen, outshooting thevisitors 38-31, including 14-6 in a score-less third period.
All the scoring was done in the openingframe, with the Eagles drawing first bloodon a goal from Latrell Charleson at the3:38 mark.
That was followed by three unansweredgoals by the Rivermen in the final fiveminutes and change of the period.
Zac Masson 14:43 into the period,Evan Anderson exactly two minuteslater, and Jacob Kearley with 37 secondsto go before the intermission gave theRivermen all they needed for the victory.
ICE CHIPS: The Rivermen have adate with the Mainland Division-leadingChilliwack Chiefs at Chilliwack’s ProsperaCentre on Wednesday night.
