City Mayor Schaffer said the election was legal and above board.MATTHEW [email protected]

The candidate who received the fewest votes in February’s Langley City council byelection says she plans to launch a court challenge of the results.

Serena Oh received 57 votes, the least of any of the nine can-didates and well behind the 740 received by the winner.

In the Feb. 27 byelection, Nathan Pachal won with 740 of the 2,074 votes cast. Kiernan Hillan took the bulk of the remaining votes with 557.

Oh believes that she received a minimum of 1,500 votes, which would amount to almost 75 per cent of all the votes cast.

“I won at least twice as many as Nathan,” Oh said.

Oh said the only way to prove fraud would be a post-elec-tion audit, and said she would request that ballots not be dis-posed of.

She said she would go to court over the election and would represent herself.

“Most judges, they don’t actually know the law, I find,” Oh commented.

At present, Oh said she is trying to gather signatures from people who will say they voted for her. She told the Langley Advance she has more than 57.

Oh said the election was “manipulated.”

She is convinced that she had the support of numerous locals, and said she believes that people from business owners to clerks and cashiers to seniors to homeless people were backing her bid for City council.

City Mayor Ted Schaffer has spoken with Oh and does not believe she has shown evidence of problems with the byelection.

“I believe everything was done legally and above board,” Schaffer said. “I totally trust the staff and the system.”

According to a spokesperson for the province’s Ministry for Community, Sport, and Cultural Development, there are only three reasons to challenge an election. One of those is that

the Local Government Act rules were not followed, another is that there was vote buying, intimidation, or that people vot-ing when not entitled.

The deadline for a recount has passed, and candidates have 30 days following the declaration of the results to launch an offi-cial challenge.

That would give Oh until April 1 to file in court. On Tuesday, Oh said she expected to file in the next few days.

Oh ran in the 2014 civic elections in Langley Township, against incumbent Mayor Jack Froese and former mayor Rick Green.

Oh took 1,255 votes, 5.7 per cent of the total cast.

Before running in the Township mayoral race, Oh, a former realtor, was in a lengthy court battle with the city of Burnaby.

Oh was ordered to remove a kitchen in a North Burnaby duplex, a violation of bylaws against secondary suites in that municipality.

Oh tried to defend herself to Burnaby city council in 2010, then repeatedly appealed the decision, representing herself in court.

After a B.C. Court of Appeal ruling against her, she tried to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, but the court declined to hear her case.

In another case, Oh was declared a vexatious litigant.

Vexatious litigation is a pat-tern of repeatedly launching lawsuits, usually frivolous or unwarranted.

After losing a case against Vancouver Korean Press, a small newspaper, Oh sued the lawyer who had represented the paper.

She alleged fraud and perjury by the lawyer, who in turn asked that Oh be declared a vexatious litigant.

A Court of Appeal judge found in favour of the lawyer and declared Oh a vexatious litigant, awarded the lawyer $5,000, and Oh was banned from starting any legal actions related to the lawyer or Vancouver Korean Press with-out the leave of a justice of the courts.

Court records show Oh has been involved in several other civil court cases over the years, many of them in small claims court.

A light rail or SkyTrain line to Langley could get federal funds.

MATTHEW [email protected]

The federal budget unveiled Tuesday included more than $460,000,000 earmarked

for transit, and Langley City’s mayor looks at it as a good start.

Mayor Ted Schaffer was glad the Metro Vancouver area was spe-cifically mentioned in the

budget tabled March 22 in the House.

“I was hoping for a little bit more money,” Schaffer said.

The budget docu-ments mention funding

for accelerated design, implementation, and construction for new large-scale projects, such as light rail lines in Metro Vancouver.

Federal budget promises rail project funding

Owners plan to rebuild after a massive fire.TROY [email protected]

Three of Country Lumber’s owners stood at a safe distance, away from a twisted steel and charred remains of a warehouse as firefighters mopped up and doused hot spots late Saturday morning.

It was a restless morning for Ken Humphrey, Ron Haan, and Scott Rexworthy, who watched helplessly as a section of their beam yard at 252nd Street and Fraser Highway was envel-oped in flames overnight.

“We don’t know how the fire started,” Humphrey told the Langley Advance. “We just got a call at mid-night saying it was fully engulfed.”

When he arrived, Humphrey saw “a ball of fire.”

Rexworthy said he felt “a little sick to my stomach” when he saw the fire.

“Heartbroken… but we’ll move forward,” he added. “It’s all good.”

Between 80 and 90 Langley Township firefight-ers fought the blaze over

about 12 hours.“The guys did a fan-

tastic job containing the fire,” said district chief Pat Walker.

Every tanker in the Township fire department was in use, shuttling water to the fire, and firefighters threw up a water curtain to keep the intense heat away from the buildings to the east. They kept the fire from spreading, including to hay storage nearby.

The explosions heard dur-ing the fire were propane bottles attached to forklifts blowing up, Walker said.

The exact cause remains

unknown and probably will never be determined.

“It definitely started in the warehouse area, over by the chainsaw shop,” said Walker.

But the destruction was “so immense” that finding the exact starting point of the fire is likely impossible, Walker said.

Humphrey said the focus now is getting the business back up and operating.

“It is what it is,” he said. “We can’t do much about it. We just want to get things up and running. We have employees who work Monday, we’ve got orders

to fill… that’s our goal, is to get up and running.”

Haan was confident the business’ engineered wood division will be operating on Monday “like normal.”

Country Lumber’s retail division is at 22538 Fraser Hwy. Its wholesale facility at 25284 Fraser Hwy.employs 25 people.

“It’ll be probably mid next week we’ll have every-body up and running,” Humphrey said.

Country Lumber is a family-run company that began in 1981 with two employees. It now has more than 90.

Langley Township firefighters walked past the charred metal and wood late Saturday morning, after a large fire destroyed a large portion of a warehouse at Country Lumber’s wholesale operation in Aldergrove.

Light rail could bring new growth…continued from A3

There are currently two transit rail proposals that have been vying for funding. Schaffer and other South of the Fraser mayors have been calling for funding for a Surrey Light Rail project, which would include a rail link from SkyTrain down Fraser Highway all the way to Langley City.

The other is the Broadway corridor in Vancouver, where a subway has been contemplat-ed.

If the local light rail project is built, two stops in Langley City are planned – one at a lot near Innes Corners and the Cascades Casino, and another at the Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

Standing at Innes Corners earlier this week, Schaffer pointed out that under the City has already planned for growth in the area that could be driven by a rail link.

Any single-storey building in the area could be up for redevelopment, Schaffer said.

It is time for the South of the Fraser to get its rail expansion, the mayor said, after the creation of the Evergreen Line and other links to the north of the river.

With the federal government pledging up to 50 per cent of funding for transit projects, Schaffer said the money would be a “pretty good down payment to get things going.”

Both rail projects were to have been funded through the 0.5 per cent sales tax increase in Metro Vancouver, but last year’s referendum killed that plan. Since then, TransLink has not come for-ward with any concrete plans to add new rail lines or new transit capacity in the region.

Surrey has been trying to push the project for-ward, working to find funding with various part-ners.

Amarjit Sohi, the federal minister of infra-structure and communities, is scheduled to meet with the TransLink Mayors’ Council this week, Schaffer said.

Outreach worker Fraser Holland has worked on the front lines, interacting with and assisting Langley’s homeless population since 2006.

Troy LandrevilleLangley Advance

TROY [email protected]

While the home-lessness situation

in Langley’s neighbour north of the Fraser River is making head-lines, the issue is also growing locally.

Earlier this month, the province made an offer to purchase Maple Ridge’s Quality Inn for $5.5 million, with the intent on using the building to provide 61 units of long-term supportive housing for those who are homeless or at risk of homeless-ness, including people currently at that com-munity’s temporary shelter.

Closer to home, “we def-initely are not seeing our num-bers going down,” said Fraser Holland with Langley’s Stepping Stone Community Services Society.

Holland is a con-duit for Langley’s homeless. He’s part of a local team of outreach workers who help Langley’s homeless with their most pressing issues, “with the hopes that small connections and successes will lead to bigger ones,” Holland explained.

And in that role, Holland has been in direct contact with those without a roof over their heads since September 2006.

Last year, 362 people were identi-fied as homeless in Langley, but that num-ber can include folks displaced by fire or flood, or other tempor-ary circumstances.

“That doesn’t take into account people who have been home-less for a long period of time,” Holland added.

That number of local homeless is up drastic-ally from 2014 when Langley’s portion of the regional homeless count found 92 home-less people, 34 con-sidered sheltered.

In 2011, the number of homeless in the Langleys was counted at 102.

Three years earlier, in 2008, it was at 86, and in 2005 it was 57.

In 2002, there were 18 homeless individuals counted in Langley City and Township.

Holland also liais-es with staff at the Gateway of

Hope (GOH) on the Langley Bypass.

The GOH offers emergency shelter for up to 22 men and 10 women, and has been running at full capacity, according to Gateway’s residen-tial services manager Cameron Eggie.

There have been some days when that number had risen to 72, “reflecting the most we’ve seen on a busy night,” Eggie said, about the shelter and emergency

weather program com-bined.

“There are familiar faces, but up to a third of the people can be new to the shelter at any given time,” added Eggie, who coordinates Gateway’s shelter, transitional housing program, and extreme weather response program.

“Right now we are seeing people come out the other side of homelessness, but we are also seeing an increase of homeless,” Eggie said.

“While we are seeing successes, [homelessness] is a growing issue across the board,” Eggie said. “We help as many people as we can but unfortunately, the number [of homeless] seems to be growing not only in Langley but nationally.”

To address the issue, the City of Langley recently

formed the Langley Homelessness Task Force (LHTF).

The task force – made up of local service providers (including Stepping Stone), businesses,

BC Housing, Fraser Health, the RCMP, various municipal departments, City councillors, and one Township council-lor – spearheads a process that will lead to the creation of a Homelessness Strategic Plan (HSP).

“Once that plan comes out of draft form, we’ll have a plan of action which is always a good thing,” Holland said, adding that as the number of

homeless grows, the complexity of the situ-ation increases.

The face of home-lessness is changing, and now includes young people aging out of government care, as well as an aging population facing homelessness for the first time.

Holland said the challenges of a 70-year-old without shelter are quite differ-ent than a 45-year-old in a similar situation.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Last year, 362 people in Langley were identified as not having permanent shelter.

No simple solution to homelessness

“There are familiar faces, but up to a third of the people can be new to the shelter at any given time.”Cameron Eggie

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Langley RCMP Const. Melissa Burroughs chatted with a driver who had been pulled over at a distracted driving blitz on March 17.

A blitz targeted drivers using cellphones.


The Langley RCMP nabbed a number of distracted drivers during a blitz on March 17 as part of

Distracted Driver’s Month.

Local Mounties set themselves up just south of 96th Avenue on 199 Street, where many cars head into Langley from Port Kells and the Golden Ears Bridge.

A spotter in plain-clothes watched for drivers on the phone, texting, not wearing seatbelts, or commit-

ting other infractions, and radioed to uni-formed officers sta-tioned just around the curve of the road.

Drivers were then pulled over and a number were ticketed.

In one day, the offi-cers gave out 38 vio-lation tickets for dis-tracted driving alone, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.

They also gave out another 18 tickets for not wearing a seatbelt, 15 for intersection violations, and 15 for other reasons.

“When you’re dis-tracted, you react slower. You’re four times more likely to crash if you’re on the phone while driving,” Hilary Matheson, local road safety coordin-ator said in a press

release. “Focus on the road, not on your phone, and watch for pedestrians and cyc-lists.”

Largy noted that the cost of a distracted driving ticket is high-er than the cost of a Bluetooth device.

Every year, on aver-age, 81 people are killed in distracted driving incidents in the Lower Mainland.

The behind-schedule East Langley Water Project is finally close to completion, according to Langley Township senior staff.

“We’re looking at days instead of weeks or months,” said Ramin Seifi, general manager of engineering for the Township.

The pipeline is to connect Aldergrove and Gloucester to Metro Vancouver’s water supply, freeing the system there from depending on numerous local wells.

Work was originally scheduled to be finished by the summer of 2014.

Seifi said that one small sec-tion of pipe, in the area around

248th Street, is still undergoing pressure testing. Once that is done, there will be a disinfection process as the pipeline is flushed with chlorinated water.

The exact day of the system being activated depends on how quickly the pressure testing goes, Seifi said.

The system has been plagued with delays, including seal

failures on pipes in 2014, and a WorkSafe BC inquiry about whether workers crawling into the 60 centimetre (two foot) pipes was too dangerous.

In 2015, leaking joints required that some pipes be replaced, and there were major issues east of 248th Street.

Local residents have had issues at several stages of the process,

both about the environment where the pipe crossed creeks, and about the length of time contractors were working on pri-vate property.

Because the Township agreed on a set price with the contractor at the start of the project, it is not anticipated that the delays will increase the cost to the municipality.

OUR VIEW

Deficits, but not foreverThere is an argument to

be made for running deficits sometimes, and it was one the federal

Liberals made during their suc-cessful election campaign.

Originally, the budget deficits were going to be about $10 bil-lion annually, with a return to balanced budgets within three years.

Now we’re looking at almost $30 billion in budget deficits, and no return to balance until after the next election, when the balancing job may or may not be the Liberals’ to undertake.

There is nothing wrong with good debt. When people say the government should be run like a business, or budgeted like a household, they often ignore the fact that virtually every busi-ness, large and small, carries lines of credit, loans, and other forms of debt to finance its start and expansion. Households borrow for mortgages, cars, and education.

Good debt turns to bad when it becomes unsustainable, and when it is used to finance day to day expenses that should be covered by ordinary sources of revenue. That’s as true of a family or business as anywhere else. If you’re using your line of credit for clothes and groceries and the heating bill, things are going badly wrong.

The Liberals told us that they were investing in Canada, and so they see this as good debt, as debt that will pay off in infrastructure and healthier, wealthier Canadians. Ultimately, if it works, we should see money flow back to the feder-al government in savings on social programs like EI as well as increased tax revenue as Canadians find good jobs and firms grow.

It will take time to see what the return on investment will be. The press and opposition parties will have to keep an eye on that investment over the next few years.

When you’re a kid, the end of the world is just plain fun.

Kids today read books about world-ending cataclysms, they watch movies and follow their favourite heroes on television.

For the more educationally inclined youngsters, there are plenty of documentaries outlining a variety of mechanisms by which humanity could become toast – in many cases, literally.

And they role-play apocalypse scenarios, whether amongst themselves or via computer.

My generation played out all sorts of good-guy-bad-guy silliness, with themes covering everything from cops and rob-bers (with the robbers often the “good” guys) to pirates (a la Errol Flynn), to war, to west-ern gun-slinging mayhem of all sorts.

The way we ran around and made up our own games may seem to have been very creative and healthy, but in fact, the games were all really the same, now and then. They’ve always reflected the popular culture washed into our brains.

Kids used to grow up (some of them) and come to realize that life por-trayed in the movies isn’t real.

The cowboys weren’t always the good guys and the pirates weren’t always basically good-hearted swashbucklers.

Indeed, presented in that light, the con-

jurings of our imaginations weren’t any healthier than zombie apocalypses and comet strikes.

One of the chief failings of the childish imagination was an inability to comprehend the true impact of getting killed.

If you were quick of wit, when your buddy yelled,

“Bang! I gotcha!” you’d drop your gun (whether a stick or a shiny cap pistol), grab your arm and shout, “Ouch! You got me in the arm!” Then you’d take up your gun in your other hand, “wounded” arm limp at your side, and recommence firing.

Nobody died until it was nearly time to go home for sup-per. Or you wanted your little brother to wander off because all he was allowed to do was play dead for a couple of hours.

Today, the chief misunder-standing kids have about post-apocalypse worlds is that nearly everybody dies – or gets turned into a zombie – before the game even begins.

If 99.999 per cent of life on the planet is wiped out by a super-volcano eruption in Yellowstone Park, or by a solar flare, or a mutated virus, or whatever Hollywood scientists offer us next, you and I won’t be discussing survival tactics.

LOOKING BACK

40 acres and pumpEighty Years AgoMarch 19, 1936

ˠA mixed epidemic of measles, mumps, and chicken pox, plus a single case of small pox, had reduced Langley school attendance by 50 per cent, and many parents were appealing to the schol board to close the schools altogether. ˠ Forty acres of land, eight of them cleared, along with a partly furnished three-room house, fruit trees, a pump, and a barn, rented at $8 per month.

Seventy Years AgoMarch 21, 1946

ˠRoss Motors had sold two new cars during the previous weeks, but only people with priority were able to get them. The first post-war car was a Ford, and had been placed on display at Fraser Valley Motors.

Sixty Years AgoMarch 22, 1956

ˠThe federal government promised to pay half of the cost of restoring the old Hudson Bay Company fort at Fort Langley, up to a quarter of a million dollars.

Fifty Years AgoMarch 24, 1966

ˠAn overheated deep fryer inflicted $10,000 in damages to Langley’s A&W restaurant. The flames, concentrated by concrete brick walls, damaged the roof and interior equipment, but there were no injuries, and management remained hopeful that the drive-in would not be long out of commission.

Forty Years AgoMarch 18, 1976

ˠCity council turned down RCMP Staff Sergeant George Allen’s suggestion to turn Fraser Hwy., between 202nd and 208th Streets, into a one-way street, west-bound. The proposal would have had Douglas Cres. handling eastbound traffic.

Let MPs free voteDear Editor,Last week I heard that the Liberal

Party will be whipping their mem-bers on the issue of euthanasia and assisted suicide when a govern-ment bill is voted on in the house.

I have serious concerns about this.

The members of Parliament should have the opportunity to vote their conscience. Members of Parliament should be able to have a free vote and not be told by the Liberal Party and Justin Trudeau how to vote.

I thought we lived in a democ-racy not a dictatorship.

Dean Clark, Langley

Dear Editor,On March 22nd is World

Water Day, and I believe that water is the most important earth resource other than clean air. I also believe that one of the most powerful ways to pro-tect our water is through legislation, but those laws must apply to all – people and businesses – if we want to see real change. I have these strong feel-ings that this is the critical time for government to take action. Canada has a new leader, who loves the

environment. This summer I am hiking

the Lake Berg trail to spend time in one of our beauti-ful provincial parks to see incredible waterfalls made from glaciers.

It’s time for the federal government to implement the right to clean water in Canada by passing an environmental bill of rights that respects, protects and fulfils our right to a healthy environment, including the right to clean water.

Kim Bucholtz, Aldergrove

Water laws for all

Dear Editor,Langley City’s big race to the

bottom.From a single all candidates

meeting, held in the middle of the day, in a location not accessible by TransLink, with a well stocked audience from the Township and more plants than the local garden center. Where, even now one failed candidate roams the streets, with a petition, in a vain attempt of a recount.

The increased homeless population, who have made the “new” Tim Hortons

Homeless HQ. Where anytime day or night

one doesn’t have to look far to see open drug dealing, scream-ing, and shouting at each other, or just at random air. They sit on tables, sleep and or OD in booths.

Where groups of men and women crowd into bathrooms together, before leaving with-out even buying a corner of a Timbit.

Now, suddenly everyone is celebrating Langley becoming some sort of destination thrift, when they should be doing a

collective face palm.Thrift is an animal bred to

consume itself. There is no customer loyalty among thrift-ers. Lowest price wins!

In time the market will shake itself out. Some of the “for-profit stores” will dis-appear, but it is the charities who suffer until then.

Being a 55-year resident, I have watched the City evolve, and unless something changes the next big money maker will be printing signs that say FOR LEASE…

Tim Attwood, Langley

Thrift stores signal decay

Dear Editor,To: Triple A Seniors

Housing SocietyI read with interest

your article in the Langley Advance, page A3, March 17, regarding seniors hous-ing.

Have you considered manufactured homes?

There are many manu-factured home parks in the Lower Mainland.

In British Columbia there is over 26,000 manufac-tured homes.

It is a wonderful life-style and most important – affordable.

My husband and I moved into such a park 13 years ago, love it and would not even think of

moving.We are not the “Trailer

Park Boys” from T.V.We are communities of

caring citizens who take pride in their homes and look after each other.

There are two types of manufactured home parks.

1. You buy the home and land, and pay main-tenance fees for upkeep of the common ground.

2. You buy the home but rent the pad space which is more affordable for many seniors.

There are a number of parks in South Langley and White Rock area.

Happy Easter! MATTHEW CLAXTON

[email protected]

A Langley teenager is missing and RCMP are asking for help. Nina Khodaei-Joopari was last seen at her North Langley home

March 5, said Cpl. Holly Largy.

When last seen, the 14-year-old was wear-ing a red zippered hoodie, black tights, Vans sneakers with cat graphics on them, and she was carrying

a red and black back-pack and a red purse.

Khodaei-Joopari is Persian, 5’4” tall, 126 pounds. Anyone with information is asked to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

North Langley teen is missing


POLICING

Robot used at drug siteThe front cover of March 17 related to this story. Apologies for its omission.

The home sur-rounded by police and investigated by a remote-controlled robot March 10 con-tained chemicals used to make metham-phetamine, Langley RCMP say.

Through most of that Thursday mor-ning, police blocked off 202A Street north of 72nd Avenue.

Police searched the home in the 7400 block of 202A with the assistance of the Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response (CLEAR) team and the Explosives Disposal Unit.

Police were made aware of a collection of unknown chem-icals at the residence, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.

One man was taken into custody, but as of March 13 had not yet been charged. The investigation is ongoing, Largy said, but she confirmed that Health Canada chem-ists had identified the chemicals inside.

All the hazard-ous materials were removed from the building, said Largy.

RCMP and Township fire department per-sonnel were on scene to assist during the lengthy search, as were BC Ambulance paramedics as a pre-caution. Just before 10 a.m. the police robot was moved onto the property.

The area is south of R.E. Mountain Secondary and the road to the school was blocked off. As well pedestrians were not allowed through the area.

The community was also dealing with the aftermath of the previ-ous night’s windstorm that caused many power outages and other problems. Power lines were down closer to R.E. Mountain and roads in front of the school were closed as repairs were done that morning.

If you're thinking of making a move within the next few months, there are two important things you need to know. The � rst is the market value of your current property. That's the amount your home will likely sell for in today's market. When you know its market value, you'll have a better idea of how much money will be available to invest in a new home. The second is an overview of what's available on the market. Which of the homes currently available for sale meet your criteria with respect to the type of home, its special features (such as a big kitchen or pool), the neighbourhood, etc? How much are these homes selling for? With those two pieces of information, you'll be able to make a better decision.

Make the Right OfferYou’ve shopped around and attended a few select viewings. Now you’ve found the home of your dreams. It’s yours – as long as you make the right offer!

So how do you make the right offer? That’s a very important question to consider. If your offer is too low, you risk the seller turning you down. You may not get a chance to make a second offer, especially if there are already multiple offers for the property. If your offer is too high, you’ll leave thousands of dollars on the table... money that could have been used for other important things, like renovations or a family vacation.

So before deciding how much to offer for a home you want, we need to talk.We will discuss what goes into a good offer and other ways to strengthen your offer, such as getting a pre-approved mortgage certi� cate, a pre-inspection and reviewing other pertinent documents.

Hiring the Right MoversHow do you select the best moving company for your needs?• Ask for recommendations. • Beware of fl y-by-night operations. They may seem like a bargain, but you get what you pay for. • Request a written estimate and contract. (Beware of movers that just give you a price over the phone.) • Confi rm they are covered by insurance, and clarify their policy regarding lost or broken items. Make sure you receive a copy of their insurance certi� cate.

Finally, always ask what circumstances would result in extra charges being applied. The number one complaint received about movers by the Better Business Bureau is unexpected extra charges.

A simple coat of paint might not be enough.

Many stains are instant-ly notice-able. But

while a wine stain on a light-coloured carpet or a gravy stain on a white shirt tend to jump out right away, other stains sneak past our radars every day.

Ceiling stains are one type of stain that tend to go unnoticed for long time.

But ceiling stains can be unsightly, and some are even indicative of a larger problem, so it pays for homeowners to address stains on their ceilings, as soon as possible.

• Start with the source. Low kitchen ceilings tend to fall victim to oil stains, which are an unfortu-nate side effect of cooking.

But not all stains can be so easily traced to their origins.

Some ceiling stains, such as those in bathrooms, may be a byproduct of mold, while others may be indicative of plumbing problems.

Identifying the source of a stain is often the first step toward eradicating it.

• Fix the problem. Once it has been iden-tified what’s causing the stain, fix it. The longer those prob-lems are allowed to fester, the bigger they become.

Some water stains on ceilings result from cracks or joints

that have not been adequately sealed or caulked.

Reseal or recaulk any cracks suspected of leading to stains.

• Cover nearby fur-niture. If you find ceil-ing stains above living areas, then be sure to cover the furniture below with a tarp. No one wants to com-pound a ceiling stain problem by staining the furniture, as well.

• Remove the stains. Different stains require different treatments. A solution made of water and bleach may be effective at remov-

ing ceiling stains, but only apply such solu-tions on days when the windows can be opened to air out the house.

Larger stains may require the application of a stain blocker, which may need to be applied with a roller and brush.

No matter the stain, people need to leave time for the ceiling to dry before moving on.

• Cover the ceiling with primer. Once the ceiling has com-pletely dried, home-owners can apply a stain-blocking primer to prevent future stains. Allow the prim-er ample time to dry.

• Apply a fresh coat of paint. After the primer has dried com-pletely, the ceiling can be repainted.

Some paints may blend in even if only the affected areas of the ceiling is painted, but others will require a complete repainting of the ceiling.

An eye test will help determine how much work has to be done.

PROBLEM SOLVING

Stained ceilings often go unnoticed

Some does and don’t for selecting new pile.

Carpets provide both practical and aesthetic appeal inside a home. In winter, carpets help

keep homes warm, and the right colour carpet can add to design schemes.

Carpeting remains a go-to flooring material in modern homes.

In fact, many homes offer a blend of both carpeting in some rooms and different flooring choices in others, hardwood, tile etc.

When choosing carpet, it is important that homeowners follow some guidelines to pro-long a carpet’s longevity and maintain its style.

The following are some com-mon carpeting dos and don’ts:DO consider the room’s

purpose and foot traffic before shopping for carpeting.

Make a list of the attributes desired (ie. soundproofing, easy care, high pile) and present these to the sales-person, so he or she can help in making the best choice.DON’T rush into flooring

choices. Unlike paint colours, flooring materials are more permanent choices that are only updated every several years or more.

Weigh all options before div-ing in.DO consider conservative

colours and styles.Neutral hues and patterns

will blend better with furniture options.

This means homeowners can change furniture out and still keep the existing carpeting, which complements any new pieces.

Also, if there’s a chance of sell the home in the near future, it’s important to keep in mind that buyers tend to look for a neutral colour scheme they can make their own.DON’T skimp on underlay to

save a few dollars on the car-pet installation.

The carpeting needs a solid foundation to last and look its best.

Inadequate underlay can lead to extra and noticeable wear and tear. Invest in a good foundation for the carpeting, like firm, dense padding in high-traffic areas.DO become knowledgeable

about different carpet styles,

such as frieze, Berber, Saxony, textured, and more. This will help in making the most edu-cated decision.DON’T just buy on price.

Consider the professional-ism and expertise of the staff responsible for carpet installa-tion.

High-cost carpet may not look very good if it isn’t installed correctly.DO stain-protect rugs and

carpeting, which can help repel stains that would otherwise become permanent and can prolong the longevity of the flooring.

There are carpet companies that guarantee the stain can be removed, or they replace it.DON’T forget to vacuum

carpets frequently to prevent ground-in dirt and debris.DO pick textured carpets to

conceal footprints and vacuum track marks.

FLOORING

Finding carpet that feels right

Residents are wise to do their research before taking the plunge – at least when it comes to buying the right carpet for their home.

Stains on the ceiling might signal bigger issues.

Tips for converting the downstairs into a fun or income-generating space.

Langleyites, like many Canadians, continue to fuel remodelling spend-ing across the country.

This trend is being driven by the upward growth in real estate prices, and the rising cost to trade up to a larger home.

No surprise, revamping base-ments are high on that list.

In fact, basement renos are expected to be a hot trend in 2016, as buyers look to maxi-mize available living space rather than move, and as young buyers look to offset the cost of homeownership with potential income suites.

While finishing a basement can be a great alternative to moving – especially if a per-son loves the neighbourhood – there are some challenges homeowners must be aware of when tackling below-grade liv-ing spaces.

For instance, choosing the right products is vital to the comfort, safety and function of the new living area.

Look for products that help to maximize energy efficiency and protect against moisture, fire, and noise.

The top points to ensure a successful basement reno:

• Waterproof it. Check the interior foundation and floors to make sure there are no existing moisture issues, water damage, or mould problems. Address any issues before finishing the space and examine grading to ensure water runs away from the foundation.

• Insulation is key in making a basement feel comfortable, while keeping it safe and dry.

For the best results, install a rigid board insulation against the concrete foundation before studding the wall. Finish with a moisture-resistant and dimensionally stable insulation between the studs to protect against common issues such as

mould, mildew, and rot.• Choose a functional design.

Draw out plans, carefully tak-ing into consideration any low ceilings or small windows. And, try to incorporate struc-tural features, such as attractive wood beams, while keeping the space as open as possible.

• Don’t forget to soundproof it. Whether the newfound space will function as a home theatre, music room, home office, play-room, or suite it will benefit from quality acoustic insula-tion, so soundproofing is the ultimate solution to maximize a basement’s quiet and privacy.

• Consider fire safety. Since many basements are now being renovated as income suites, fire protection is also a vital consideration. Follow fire and building codes.

HOT TREND

Basement renovations all the rage

Adding insulation and sound-proofing are keys to a successful basement renovation.

Tank is looking for a special home that has time for a puppy. He is going to require a lot of time and patience in his home in order to become a well behaved adult. He is keen on training and loves to work for his cookies! Tank is working on his house training and manners. A confident cat

could be an option in his new life as well as the right dog. Tank is a lot of dog, so a home without small children is ideal. If you think that you are up for adventures with Tank, please call LAPS at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter and ask to speak to a trainer. No emails please.. 604-857-5055.

A tradition in my family has always been the customary ritual of decorating eggs for Easter. As far back as history can take us, the egg seems to have always been a symbol of con-tinuing life and resur-rection. Therefore, it was natural to decor-ate them and give out as gifts for part of the feasting after the solemn fast of Lent. Although it is now more con-temporary to exchange choco-late or candy eggs, many fam-ilies still carry out the historic practice of using real eggs. However, what is to become of all the excess hard-boiled eggs other than the habitual egg sandwich?

Allow me to give you a few examples that will hopefully inspire. A quick and simple idea would be to crumble them to garnish salads. This would not only add bright colours to the salad, but is also is a fantastic way to add additional protein. Crumbled eggs are also vivid garnishes for stir-frys or around the outer edge of a platter of rice. Add a splash of freshly chopped parsley over

the rice, and you will have transformed the bland grains into something more attractive. The crum-bled mix of white and yellow is much more eye appealing than two-toned slices of egg.

Egg slices are better used along with spin-ach and cheese rolled

inside the middle of a pork loin for a stuffed roast that is extra-ordinary. Egg slices can also be layered in casseroles.

If one were to search the Internet or visit the local library, they would discover a variety of hard-boiled egg recipes. They will include a number of egg and cheese dips, pickled eggs, and many versions of deviled eggs. For example, try combining the yolk mixture for deviled eggs with smoked salmon before stuffing back into the egg white halves for a delicious change.

My favourite hard-boiled egg recipe is Scotch eggs, sausage wrapped hard-boiled eggs. They are rolled in a mixture of crumbs and fresh chopped parsley, and baked in the oven.

Dear Chef Dez:I hate making hard-boiled

eggs. I find it difficult to peel them without having huge chunks of the cooked white staying attached to the shell pieces. Also, they always have that “green ring” around the yolk. Are there any tricks to help me?

Janet C. Maple Ridge Dear Janet:

Firstly, when selecting eggs to boil, one wants to make sure they are choosing older eggs rather than the freshest ones. This is because over a period of time more air develops between the shell and the shell membrane, and thus making it easier to peel. Also try rolling the cooked egg on the counter with some gentle pressure to makes cracks all over the surface, and then peel under cool running water.

The “green ring” indicates a chemical reaction between the iron in the yolk and the sulfur in the white. This happens when the egg is either cooked too long, or at too high of a temperature. Try adjusting your cooking time and plunge them into an ice water bath immediately to stop the cook-ing process.

Large crowds are expected for the walk through Fort Langley.TROY [email protected]

A Christian tradition that each year draws hundreds to down-town Fort Langley on Good Friday will take place rain or shine March 25.

What’s still colloquially known as Stations of the Cross was changed a couple of years ago to Good Friday Walk: Stations of Holy Week.

This Good Friday’s service has broadened, becoming “Stations of Holy Week” – a recognition of both Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday in the opening and closing sta-tions, respectively.

“The majority of the stations reflect events which occurred on Good Friday surrounding Jesus’ suffering and death,” explained Living Waters Church associate pastor Luke Knight,

the chief coordinator.The walk is an

interactive, moveable service through Fort Langley and includes a large wooden cross that is carried from station to station.

It starts from the Fort Langley Community Hall at 10 a.m.

The outdoor service sees participants walk-ing to different loca-tions in Fort Langley where there will be scripture readings and songs.

Churches involved include Fort Langley Evangelical Free Church (FLEFC), Living Waters Church, Parish of St. George – Anglican Church of Canada, United Churches of Langley – Fort Langley Site, and Wagner Hills Ministries.

Glen Valley’s Wagner Hills, a faith-based recovery centre for men, provides manpower, sound equipment, and a trailer that is towed to each station, and serves as a stage.

The walk lasts roughly 90 minutes and at about 11:30 a.m., the group will arrive at the FLEFC building for a few songs, and then into the gym for some hot cross buns and hot drinks.

All are welcome. Last year, about 600 people attended.

Stations include: • Fort Langley Community Hall – welcome and station one• Lee’s Market – stations two and three• Parish of St. George – station four

• Fort Langley Strip Mall – station five• Living Waters Church – station six• St. Andrew’s United Church – stations seven and eight• Fort Langley Cemetery – station nine• Fort Langley Evangelical Free Church – Station 10 and refreshments.

“As we read scripture, reflect and pray, we follow Jesus’ journey from Palm Sunday right through to Easter Sunday,” Knight elaborated.

“It carries with it sort of a sombre tone but it’s also a won-derful fellowship opportunity for like-minded believers in the community, even though they attend the different churches, to come together and visit,” noted FLEFC children’s ministry direc-tor Lindy Jankowiak.

A full digital guide of the walk will be available at fort-langleychurches.ca Thursday.

“We will also have paper cop-ies available on Friday morning at the event,” Knight said.

A local band makes a point of lauding women’s equality.ALEX [email protected]

Local pop band and 2015 Langley’s Got Talent win-ners Her Brothers celebrated and reiterated Prime Minister Trudeau’s recent comments in New York at the UN Women event calling for gender equal-ity.

Speaking in front of roughly 200 people, Trudeau said more men need to join the feminism movement and ensure pay equity, revamp paternal leave to include guaranteed time off and take steps to improve Canada’s record on violence against women, especially indigenous women.

“It’s really, really obvious that we should be standing up for women’s rights and trying to create more equal societies. Like, duh,” he told the crowd on March 16, generating a round of applause.

Joshua, Gabe and Levi Penner, who make up the band Her Brothers (along with their dad, Jonathan on keyboards), were on their way back from a series of concerts in Alberta schools spreading a gender-equal message when they happened upon Trudeau’s com-ments.

“Hey, that’s our message!”

said lead singer Gabe Penner. “As men, we are in a unique position to challenge each other to a higher standard in the way we view and treat women.”

The three brothers, taking inspiration from their little sis-ter Tiana, released their debut album, She, early last year.

At every concert the band brings their little sister on stage

and honour her by singing a song to her.

Typically playing in schools, theatres, clubs and commun-ity events, the band has been known to ask about audience members’ sisters and mothers as a means of helping its equal-ity message hit home.

“Together, let’s change the status quo,” said Teresa Penner,

the brothers’ mom and man-ager, in a press release. “Let’s make Canada and our world a better place by encouraging one half of humanity to stand up for the other half, for the benefit of all.”

The Township has a defibrillator for community use.RONDA [email protected]

Until recently, there were only six publicly accessible defibrillators in the Langleys. A lack of coverage was identified in the Township in the area around office complexes near Willowbrook.

Fortunately, local fire pro-tection company Phoenix Fire identified the gap and jumped into action, accord-ing to Erin Patrick Williams, business development man-ager with Phoenix.

As part of the Heart and Stroke Foundation’s BC Public Access to Defibrillation program (PAD), Phoenix Fire bought an automated external defibrillator (AED) and donated it to the commun-ity. The new AED is stored at Phoenix Fire (which is at 20626 Mufford Cres.) and now serves a five-minute radius.

AEDs are portable, easy-to-use devices to restart the heart and the PAD program works to have AEDs avail-able in public places. If someone were to experience cardiac arrest, a call to 911 will identify the nearest device registered for public use with the program.

“They’ll call us or send someone who is along the way,” said Williams of how the AED at Phoenix Fire would be brought to the individual in trouble.

Not only can the public pick up the AED, but first responders nearby could take it where necessary as well.

Information about the PAD program can be found

at www.bcpadprogram.ca.The donation was an

obvious decision, said Phoenix Fire co-owner Suren Ramlochun.

“I’ve been in Canada 17 years,” he said. “I have gained a lot through com-munity involvement and I’m at a stage now where I can help.”

Ramlochun’s desire to be involved and help the community ripples through the work Phoenix Fire does.

“We focus on fire prevention as well as fire protection,” Williams said.

The company supports Williams’ involvement with Global Medic and donations of old and obsolete equip-ment to Nicaragua.

Phoenix Fire works as a depot to gather old fire extinguishers and other fire prevention equipment from clients, other fire protection companies, and business-es for Global Medic. Once enough to fill a shipping container is gathered, the equipment is prepared for

transport to Nicaragua.“The industry general-

ly disposes of fire extin-guishers,” Williams said. “Developing countries, they are grateful for anything.”

Phoenix Fire is the only company in B.C. doing a collection like this.

“We believe in the bigger

picture,” Williams added. “We talk about fire safety, fire prevention and we do a lot of community engage-ment.”

In fact, customers who buy a fire extinguisher from Phoenix Fire can try “blow-ing it off” free so they know how to work it.

Nicaraguan helpLangley resident and

Burnaby firefighter Erik Vogel recently returned from Nicaragua as part of Operation Nicaragua, a program designed to help firefighters in the develop-ing country be safer in their efforts to help their friends, neighbours, and country-men in the case of fire.

Vogel is a member of Global Fire, part of the Global Medic organization which local firm Phoenix Fire supports. Through Global Medic and the work of Phoenix Fire, Vogel was able to take a large num-ber of fire extinguishers along on his recent trip for Nicaraguan firefighters.

It was Vogel’s third trip to the country where he, fellow firefighters, and other volunteers go to help with firefighting education.

A decommissioned fire truck from Vogel’s depart-

ment was donated to the volunteer force in Nicaragua, some-thing the country does not have funds to provide.

On the next trip, Nicaraguan firefight-ers will likely receive equipment from the Township fire department as Vogel recently received word that he will soon be able to make a presentation to council about the program.

Equipment such as uniforms, fire hoses, and life-saving tools that are out-of-date in Canada are donated by many fire departments in B.C. and are well-received by the fire-fighters who might have to show up to a fire with buck-ets in the back of a pick-up truck.

Time to bowlThe annual bowl-a-thon will raise money for kids in-need.ALEX [email protected]

It’s time to lace up and hit the lanes.Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley is hosting

its 37th annual Bowl for Kids Sake on April 8 and 9.

Created to help in-need Langley kids, the event features prizes, snacks, and games as a means of raising money for the cause, and is sponsored by more than 20 companies.

Mary Reeves, execute director for BBBSL, said the event is a great way for the kids to have fun and hang out with their “big buddies.”

“There continues to be more need and fewer resources. We don’t get discouraged and try not to look at the overwhelming need, but instead focus on the ones who are being helped,” she said.

According to Reeves, comments such as, “I miss my big buddy so much between visits,” given by the kids makes everything worthwhile and keeps everyone going.

“If people just knew the background of some of the children who say these things. Our vol-unteers and services are really making a differ-ence,” Reeves said.

The fundraiser is taking place at the Willowbrook Lanes, 6350 196th St.

The theme is Good Sports and people are encouraged to dress as their favourite sports hero. Participants are asked to raise a minimum of $50 in pledges.

Sign up in advance. For more information, go to www.bbbslangley.com or call 604-530-5055.

Two notable names on the local gridiron scene will lend their sup-port to the Langley Rams fundrais-ing dinner March 31.

The junior football team announced that retired BC Lions centre Angus Reid will be the keynote speak-er, while Rams alumnus William Loftus will be the special guest speaker at the club’s Supporting Futures Fundraising Dinner.

Over his 13-year career with the Lions, Reid was a member of two Grey Cup-winning teams.

Loftus’s 11-year Canadian Football League career with the Edmonton Eskimos and Montreal Alouettes included Grey Cup wins

in 2002 with the Alouettes and in ’05 with the Eskimos.

The Rams note that education is very important to the club, as many of their players attend post-secondary schools and the club tries “to help as many as pos-sible through our scholarship pro-grams – of course the more funds

we have the more we can help.”

The dinner is set for Thursday, March 31 at The Redwoods Golf Course, 22011 88th Ave.

Tickets are $100 per plate with dinner provid-

ed by The Redwoods.Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with the

Jordan Owens’ greatest love was hockey, so it’s only fitting that an annual initiation hockey tour-nament in Walnut Grove honours his memory.

The 16th annual Jordan Owens Initiation Tournament was held March 18 to 22 at the Langley Sportsplex and drew 56 teams, including 26 Langley Minor Hockey Association squads, 30 from surrounding communities, and seven from outside the Lower Mainland.

The tournament is dedicated to the memory of Jordan Owens, who passed away July 8, 1999, after a long battle with cancer.

Over its previous 15 years, the tournament has raised more than $150,000 for the BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Emmanuel and Ariel Bussani skied and shot in Quebec as part of Team BC.TROY [email protected]

It quite literally takes thick skin to be a biathlete.

The sport involving cross-country skiing and rifle shooting is held in frigid climes.

Such was the case earlier this month when Valcartier, Que., hosted the Cadet National Biathlon Championships.

Among the 130 cadet biath-letes who com-peted at the Myriam Bédard biathlon center March 2 to 7 were Aldergrove siblings Emmanuel and Ariel Bussani.

It was cold in Valcartier – bone-numbingly so. The first day of competition was cancelled because the temperature had dipped to minus 30ºC.

If conditions drop to minus 20 or lower, biathlon events are nixed for the safety of the athletes.

After that it “warmed up” to about minus 14ºC, and 12-year-old Ariel said, “I kind of wore a lot of layers.”

The competition itself was, as expected, as demanding as the conditions.

After skiing fast and hard, biathletes must calm themselves to take accurate and controlled shots at targets 50 metres away.

In a single race cadet competi-tors can ski up to 10 kilometres and shoot 20 targets.

Fresh off a bronze medal performance at the BC Winter Games in Penticton, 14-year-old

Emmanuel had a fantastic few days, teamed with his partner, 13-year-old Abbotsford resident Ethan Algra.

They finished first, not only in the junior male category for patrol race but also in the open male category, bringing together all the 12- to 18-year-old male biathletes, which allowed them to win a pair of gold medals.

The patrol, specific to the cadet biathlon program, requires athletes to stay togeth-er throughout the race.

Emmanuel and Ethan finished their patrol in 24 minutes, 14 seconds.

They also took second in the junior male relay race with a time of 47 minutes, two seconds.

The relay involves a simultan-eous start of the first athlete of the various teams. When a participant completes a loop, he must pass the baton to his partner.

Ethan also took home the Nikke Keddie award, given to junior male cadet with the highest

cumulative aggregates from his individual races results.

He also finished first in the junior category for mass start where all biathletes start at the same time which makes this competition nerve-racking and full of surprises.

Individually, Emmanuel placed fifth overall among jun-ior boys.

Emmanuel said the key to his success in Valcartier was “prob-ably just being mentally pre-pared and telling myself I could do well and that all my training is going to count for this race.”

The shooting aspect of the sport is something Emmanuel

would like to improve upon.“It takes a lot of concentration

and lots of practice,” he said. “Your fingers and eyes, every part of your body, has to remember how to take a perfect shot. It takes a lot of muscle memory.”

Just like her big brother, Ariel won a silver

medal as part of a Team BC squad that finished second overall in the compe-tition.

Ariel and her part-ner placed seventh in the patrol team race and seventh in the relay team event, while in the individual race, Ariel placed 11th.

“I did meet my goal this year to get to nationals, but I was a bit disappointed I didn’t get podium place,” Ariel said. “That’s my goal for next year.”

Ariel said she’s drawn to how the sport combines strength and physical prow-ess with concentration and focus.

Ariel was not old enough to compete in the recently held BC

Winter Games (minimum age of athletes is 13). And while Emmanuel competed

and came home with a medal, it wasn’t the colour he was hoping for.

“I know I could have done better,” said Emmanuel, who was fight-ing a cold while competing at the Games. “Hopefully [I’ll do better] next time at the BC Winter Games.”

Biathlon is split into two parallel tracks – civilian and cadet. The Bussani siblings can compete in both because both

Emmanuel and Ariel are air cadets.

Bailey Herbert had a brilliant weekend in Victoria earlier this month.

The 13-year-old Langley Olympians Swim Club (LOSC) member led the way

for her team by win-ning five gold medals while setting four club records at the 2016 BC AAA Short Course Championships.

The short course (25-metre pool) meet

ran from March 3 to 6, and every swimmer attending needed to have achieved a min-imum of three qualify-ing times.

This was a huge competition featuring

nearly 650 swimmers representing 46 B.C. clubs.

To make finals, swimmers needed to race hard in the mor-ning, making the meet all the more challen-

ging for the Langley swimmers.

Bailey dominated the 12- and 13-year-old girls division by winning gold in the 200m IM as well as the 50m breaststroke,

100m breaststroke, 400m IM, and 200m breaststroke.

She also won silver in the 100m and 200m fly and bronze in the 800 freestyle. Her 13- and 14-year-old girls club records were in the 200m fly (2:20.70), 100m breaststroke (1:11.43), 400m IM (4:53.50m), and 100m fly (1:04.49).

Hilary Metcalfe, 17, won gold in the 16- to 18-year-old girls 200m IM and 200m breast-stroke, and silver in the 100m breaststroke and 400m IM.

Renae Ledoux, 16, won gold in the 16- to 18-year-old girls 100m breaststroke and silver in the 50m breast-stroke.

Michael Chung, 11, won gold in the 11-and-under boys 50m backstroke and bronze in the 100m backstroke and 50m freestyle.

Joshua Kim, 14, won bronze in the 14- and 15-year-old boys 50m breaststroke. Joshua also broke a trio of 13- and 14-year-old boys club records in the 50m breaststroke (31.21), 100m breast-stroke (1:06.71), and the 200m breaststroke (2:28.12).

Brooklyn Swaan, 11, won bronze in the 11-and-under girls 200m breaststroke.

Mia Goretic, 12, achieved her first Age Group National Qualifying time in the 12- and 13-year-old girls 200m free-stylestyle.

The LOSC 12-and-under boys 200m freestyle relay team consisting of Hugh McNeill, Michael Chung, Luke Stewart-Beinder and Dylan Thomas won bronze.

LOSC relay club rec-ords were broken in the following;

• 12-and-under boys 400m med-ley team (5:06.81) – Hugh McNeill, Dylan Thomas, Luke Stewart-Beinder and Michael Chung.

• 13- and 14-year-old girls 400m med-ley team (4:33.02) – Reese Blunden, Bailey Herbert, Josie Field and Reagen Bedard.

• 13- and 14-year-old boys 200m free-style team (1:49.55) – Joshua Kim, Brayden Kells, Ayush Kaul and Hugh McNeill.

• 13- and 14-year-old boys 200m med-ley team (2:00.29) – Ayush Kaul, Brayden Kells, Joshua Kim and Hugh McNeill.

Hugh McNeill, 12, broke the 11- and 12-year-old boys club record in the 200m backstroke (2:24.95).

As a team, the Olympians finished sixth overall.

“This was a great meet for our swim-mers,” Olympians head coach Brian Metcalfe said.

“They had trained hard going into the meet and came away with some great results.”

Registration for Langley Olympians Swim Club is ongoing. Call 604-532-5257 or visit the club’s web-site, langleyolympians.com, for details.

Olympian captures five gold at B.C. short course championships

short track meet

...continued from page A23Based on that performance at the provincial

cadet championships (Emmanuel took home a gold and a silver, Ariel won a silver) both Bussanis were selected to B.C. team made up of 10 athletes – two junior boys, two senior boys, two junior girls, two senior girls, and two spares.

Their mom, Lori, said biathlon is more than just a sport, adding that her son and daughter are “the ones driving the boat.”

“They push hard; I never have to tell them to train,” Lori said.

“It’s not the medals, it’s just the journey,” she added. “They’re learning fantastic life skills. Emmanuel came in fifth [individually] and even though he wanted to get gold or silver, he still had a smile on face went up to the guys who did well and said ‘good job.’ That’s what makes me proud – the character and integrity being developed along the way.”
