RCMP Teen hurt A bat attack was an act of violent and misplaced revenge, police believe. by Matthew Claxton [email protected] A teenager was bludgeoned with baseball bats while walk- ing through Langley City Sunday night, Langley RCMP say. Police were called just before 9 p.m. to the 5400 block of 208th Street, where there was a report of a group of young men fighting with bats, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokes- person for the Langley RCMP. The caller said one of the men might need medical help. By the time officers arrived, the bat-wielding men were gone and an injured 17-year- old from Surrey, along with his friend, still remained. The injured teen was bleed- ing from the head, but was conscious and breathing. His friend said two unknown men had approached them from behind and attacked, hit- ting the victim several times. The men with bats had then run off. The Lower Mainland Police Dog Service was called and made it to the scene within minutes, said Marks. Armed with a description of the attackers, the police came up with a possible address for one of the suspects. The track- ing dog also led them to that home, in the 5300 block of 207th Street. Inside, the 18-year-old sus- pect was found hiding in the attic, and was arrested just before 9:30 p.m. A baseball bat was seized as evidence. Investigators will ask for a warrant for the arrest of a sec- ond suspect, said Marks. The attack appears to have been a form of attempted revenge. A friend of the victim had been involved in a fight with the suspects the night before; police had been called out to that incident, but that victim had not wanted to involve the police. The suspect in Sunday’s incident has been released from custody on a promise to appear in court.

Sherlock said that of about 100 evacuees, 94 people were aided by emergency response programs of one sort or another.

A motion to keep pedophiles far awayfrom their victims is moving closer to aCommons vote.

by Matthew [email protected]

Langley’s Conservative MP Mark Warawahas been given government support for hislatest private members bill.

Bill C-489 would amend the criminal codeto ban sex offenders who attacked childrenfrom living within two kilometers of theirvictim’s homes after their release.

The bill was inspired by two incidents inwhich convicted offenders lived down thestreet from their victims. One of those tookplace in Murrayville.

In 2010, Marco Balducciwas released from prison afterserving four months of a six-month sentence for invitationto sexual touching.

A judge granted his requestto move back to his neigh-bourhood near Murrayville’s Five Cornersarea, despite the fact that he was near his

victim. Balducci’s wife was battling cancer atthe time, and the judge allowed the proxim-ity so he could care for her.

In early April that year, shortly afterBalducci’s release, neighbours in the areacomplained about his return, and put upposters with his photo and informationabout his crime.

Balducci’s family membersbegan tearing them down, andthe residents turned to the mediaand handing the posters out doorto door. They wanted to urge himto leave for the good of his victimand his own family members.

“Everyone should have the rightto feel safe in their own home, andyoung victims of sexual assault areno exception,” Warawa said of his

reasons for bringingforward the bill.

Minister ofJustice Rob Nicholson hasannounced that the govern-ment is supporting the bill.

“The government’s supportfor this bill demonstrates our

commitment to standing up for victims andkeeping our streets and communities safe,”

Nicholson said in a press release.An all-party Parliamentary sub-commit-

tee, the Standing Committee on Justice andHuman Rights, has also given the bill thego-ahead.

“It is truly an honour to receive supportfrom all sides of the House of Commons,”

said Warawa.The bill is a replacement for one

that set off a storm of controversy.It was intended to condemn thepractice of sex-selective abor-tion, a practice in which parentsdetermine the sex of their childand typically abort girls, whichare less valued than boys in manycultures.

The motion came under attackfrom opposition parties, whichaccused the Conservatives ofattempting to bring up the generalissue of abortion. While Warawa

is a pro-lifer, he denied repeatedly that hismotion was intended to do anything otherthan what it said.

His own government refused to allowWarawa to speak on the motion, sparkinga mini-caucus revolt of Conservative back-benchers.

When police arrived, he toldthem he had left his keys in theignition, got out of the truck,and locked himself out, saidCpl. Holly Marks of the LangleyRCMP. He got stuck trying tograb his keys. Police couldn’t gethim loose, so the Langley Cityfirefighters were called in.

A decision is expected soon on ahuman rights complaint against aLangley sports bar.

by Susan LazarukSpecial to the Langley Advance

The B.C. human rights tribunal shouldtoss out three complaints of racial dis-crimination against the Langley SharkClub because the complainants didn’tshow the bouncer denied them entrybecause they were Indo-Canadian, theShark Club’s lawyer said Friday.

Serge Rai and his friends, ManjinderGill and his wife, Manjit Gill, all in their40s, filed the three separate complaintsafter a bouncer refused to let them in tojoin a graduation party on Dec. 9, 2011.

Tribunal chair Norman Trerise wasleft to sort through hours of confusingand conflicting evidence from the com-plainants, two bouncers and a manager,including what led to bouncer AndrewSchmah assaulting Rai.

Rai and the Gills said in closing sub-missions Friday they felt singled outfor exclusion because they’re brown-skinned, after they were turned awaywhen they arrived 15 minutes late.

The three and others in their smallgroup said they were told the club wassold out except to those with tickets.

But the complainants said they couldsee a stream of white partygoers admit-ted without tickets.

“That is the main issue here, that weare all Indo-Canadian,” said Manjit Gill,reading from a prepared submission.“And that is all the Shark Club saw andconsidered that night.”

They felt “utter humiliation and feel-ings of degradation,” she said.

Gill said the club portrayed them in an“absolutely distorted” way, saying theyare polite professionals who don’t makedeath threats, utter profanities or actbelligerently, as the bouncers testified.

They said Schmah threw Rai to theground after Rai took a picture of himbut they denied threatening to post hispicture labelled as a racist on Facebook,as Schmah testified.

The trio also denied Schmah and two

other employees’ testimonies that thereason some in the group were deniedentry because they lacked ID or that Raithreatened to shoot Schmah with a gun.

“One cannot accept the two entirelydifferent versions of the events,” saidManjit Gill. “One of us is telling thetruth and the other is not.”

Rai told Trerise he has to “decidewhether our race, colour and/or ances-try were factors in the respondent’sdecision to not allow us into the club,”contrary to B.C.’s human rights laws.

Human rights lawyer Paul McLean,hired by the Shark Club, said there wasno proof the group was denied becauseof the colour of their skin. He notedother Indo-Canadians had been admittedearlier that night, that 20 per cent of theclientele is Indo-Canadian and the clubhas no history of racial discrimination.

He ridiculed the idea of a “magicalcap” to the number of Indo-Canadiansallowed in the club at any one time,that “we have enough Indo-Canadiansin the club and we have to stop admit-ting them because the mix is off.”

He said it was up to the tribunal chairto determine who was telling the truthabout what happened that night andcome to a conclusion about why thegroup was not allowed in. He said it’sup to the complainants to show Schmahwas racially motivated and that on a“balance of probabilities” based on theevidence presented, they didn’t.

Trerise said he needed time for hisdecision.

Five groups have come togetherto fund a study of a Langley artscentre.

by Heather [email protected]

Does Langley need an arts centre?The answer could be determined by a

$50,000 study.Langley

Township andCity along withthe LangleySchool District,Trinity WesternUniversityand KwantlenPolytechnicUniversity areeach contribut-ing $10,000 tostudy need forand feasability ofa centre.

The studywill also look atpotential sites,how long itwould take tobuild, cost issuesand potentialrevenue sources.

The PerformingArts & CulturalCentre AdvisoryPlanning TaskForce will alsogauge commun-ity support foran arts centre.

So far the twolocal govern-ments havesigned on andthe two universities have approved theterms of reference.

The Langley School Board meets May28 when it is expected to give formalapproval.

City Councillor Gayle Martin said at theMay 13 council meeting that once wordgets out that the five groups have decidedto study the issue, “there’s going to be a

lot of optimistic people.”“This does not mean a centre is going

ahead,” she cautioned.”Mayor Peter Fassbender said the study

is to look at all sides of the idea andanswer the many questions such a projectcreates.

“That’s what this is all about, to answeras many questions as we can,” he said.

Langley City already had a fund in itsbudget to study an arts centre, earmark-ing $40,000 but will now be part of the

five-party study.The Performing

Arts & CulturalCentre AdvisoryPlanning TaskForce terms ofreference callsfor it to submitits report andrecommendationsin October 2013.

The thirdannual LangleyHas Talent com-petition wasrecently heldwith a goal ofraising moneyfor a performingarts venue in thiscommunity byspotlighting allthe talent thatexists here.

The LHTevents haveraised about$30,000 but cre-ated more aware-ness, accordingto organizer PeterLuongo.

Langley HasTalent is hostedby the four

Rotary Clubs of Langley.Luongo has long lobbied for a perform-

ing arts venue here.“I know it’s a study,” he said, “but this

is an important first step.”Luongo said his hope is that the study

shows what he believes – that Langley isbig enough to warrant an arts centre.

“I believe it in my heart,” he said.

Art centre need studied

An article in the May21 edition about thefounder of Trinity WesternUniversity gave theincorrect first name of Dr.Calvin Hanson.

Dr. Hanson passed awayrecently and is being hon-

oured at a memorial ser-vice June 1.

He was appointed found-ing president of TrinityJunior College in 1961 andwas in the position until1974 but kept strong tieswith the school since.

Named incorrectly

The contest to choosea new mayor will likelybe held early this fall.

by Matthew [email protected]

When will Langley Cityhave a new mayor?

After the Liberalsunexpected victory at thepolls last week, City MayorPeter Fassbender foundhimself elected as MLA inSurrey-Fleetwood.

Assuming he comes outahead in the final tallyafter absentee ballots arecounted at the end of theweek – just 266 votes sep-arated Fassbender fromNDP incumbent JagrupBrar – he will step downfrom his roleas mayor.

“You can’ttry and do twojobs well,”Fassbendersaid thisweek.

Stepping down means abyelection for the mayor’schair in Langley City, andpossibly a byelection forone or more council seatsas well.

The City’s manager oflegislative services CarolynMushata said the nextsteps are well set out inregulations.

Once Fassbender handsin his official resignation –which could be delayed forsome weeks if the legis-lature is not immediatelycalled back to Victoria– the remaining City coun-

cillors will have to appointelection officers.

Then there are two dead-lines. An election mustbe held within 80 days ofthe appointment of theofficers.

There is also a 14-dayperiod in which council-lors who want to run formayor must announcetheir resignation.

The byelection will thenbe held with the namesof everyone running formayor, as well as thenames of anyone runningto fill possible empty coun-cil seats.

Mushata said she ishoping that the timingwill allow the election totake place in Septemberat the earliest. A summerelection would likely get a

worse turn-out, shesaid.

It hasbeen yearssinceLangley has

seen a municipal byelec-tion. The last byelectionwas in 2011 to replace aseat on the school boardafter the resignation oftrustee Joan Bech. WhenTownship councillorJordan Bateman resignedhis seat early in 2011, itwas less than a year untilthe next general electionand the council chose notto have a new vote.

Fassbender said hewants a smooth transition,and that he believes hehas accomplished most ofwhat he set out to do asmayor.

“I can leave feeling veryconfident that we’ve laid agreat foundation,” he said,calling it a team effort withcouncil and city staff.

He also said he plans tobe involved when the timecomes for voters to choosethe next mayor.

“I will be very engagedin the process going for-ward,” Fassbender said.

“I’m still a tax payer inthe City,” he added.

So far, none of the sit-ting City councillorsnor any outsider hasannounced plans to run

for the mayor’s chair.Around B.C., four may-

ors, including Fassbender,and eight councillors wereelected as Liberals, anda number of byelectionsare anticipated as someof those politicians stepdown.

However, a few havedecided to do both jobs,either for the remainder oftheir terms, or at least stayon until January.

A resignation then wouldallow councils to avoidhaving a new byelectionbefore November 2014.

Attention Lower Mainland Home Owners:23 of you are about to make an important financial decision...

“Frustrated Contractor ‘Giving Away’ $5136 Furnaces for$1181 with purchase of Off-Season Central Air ...”**

NO MONEY DOWN, NO PAYMENTS AND INTEREST FREE TIL 2014*(This is the Hottest AND Coolest Deal of the Century” ... especially if your furnace is over 8 years old)

Dear FriendI’m about to make you a deal that’s

hard to refuse if you’ve got an “older”(and probably less than optimally efficient)furnace.I’ll replace your old furnace AND heatpump as a “package deal” for at least$3136.00 less than you would pay any othertime of the year.

Sound too good to be true?It’s not and here’s why. I’m making

you what sounds like an unbelievable offerbecause it actually makes good sense for mybusiness. And you come out a winner, as well!

You see, I know from experience that inmy slowest months I actually end up losingmoney ... then I have to spend the rest of theyear trying to make up for it. Right now, Ihave no reason to believe 2013 will be anydifferent.

That’s why I’ve decided to give up tryingto make a profit during these months andminimize my losses ... so I can come outahead the rest of the year.So here’s how I can make the incredibleoffer at the top of this letter.

Every year the biggie furnacemanufacturers guesstimate how manyfurnaces to produce. Since there’s no way ofknowing what the weather will be like andother factors that affect sales, these guysalways have leftover inventory they have tohold onto until the next heating season.

I saw a great business opportunity in thisand went to one of these biggie companies(they won’t allow me to use their name inthis letter) and contracted for the purchaseof these furnaces that were going to just besitting around. Plus, I bought 23 heat pumpsall in the 3 most popular sizes used in LowerMainland homes.

Because of the number I bought andthe time of year I purchased them, I got anunbelievable deal ... rock-bottom prices.

Don’t get me wrong - these are brand-new, top quality, 2013 models. Not “seconds.”Not “blems.” Not builder-grade. These arepremium furnaces and heat pumps fresh froma name-brand factory with a full factorywarranty.How to Get Your Name Brand Furnace forVirtually Nothing

By putting together this furnace-plus-heat pump package (I call it the “HottestAND Coolest Deal of the Century”), goingthrough some heavy negotiations with the

manufacturer, and then committing to buying23 systems outright, I got BOTH the furnaceAND the heat pump at a price that wouldhave made Sam Walton proud. This meanswhen you buy one of these 23 new, premium-quality heat pumps I will “give” you thefurnace and ask you to pay only the $1181 inlabor it costs to install your furnace.Pick up your phone right now

Simply call me at 946-1000 at anytimeso I can come out and measure your home(to see if I’ve got the proper size unit).Remember ... I’ve got only 23 matchedsystems in 3 sizes so you’ll want to let meknow VERY SOON that you’re interested.When these 23 systems are gone, they’regone, and this offer is null and void. Call meright now so we can get the ball rolling!

As part of the deal, I’ll show you howmuch the heat pump costs ... how muchthe furnace WOULD have cost ... and yoursavings when you buy your new heat pumpand furnace as part of this special offer. Theprice I show you will include all installationmaterials and labor. There’s no fine print,nothing left out.Earlier I said that making you this amazingoffer is also good business for me

The way I look at it, by letting YOU winbig now, I’ll win at the end of the year. AndI won’t have to “make up” for the lost salesduring my slowest months.

I figure if I make you an absolutelyirresistible offer .. if your furnace is pushing8 years or more ... and if I barely mark upthe price I paid, I’ll accomplish 2 majorobjectives that will allow me to reduce mylosses the rest of the year. I’ll be able to ...

• Pay my overhead (rent, utilities,insurance and taxes) during the slowperiod

• Keep my service & installationtechnicians busy enough to pay them towork instead of sit at home.As you can see, when you take me up

on my “Hottest AND Coolest Deal of theCentury,” EVERYONE IS A WINNER!And by the way, there’s no obligation whenyou have me come out to measure yourhouse and explain the installation

If you decide you don’t want to takeadvantage of this incredible deal (althoughI can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want tosave this kind of money), it’s no problem.You’re not obligated in any way. In fact, justfor taking time to read this letter and havingme out to survey your house ... I’ll give you a

Very Special Free Gift Coupon ($50 value).Why? Even if we don’t do business togethernow, I want you to remember us in the future.If you’re thinking a new furnace (& heatpump) isn’t in your budget - don’t worry!You don’t have to pay me right now

Because I’ve tried to think of every reasonpossible why you WOULDN’T take me upon this spectacular offer, I’ve even madearrangements for a super bank rate financingplan. And I’m not “marking up” the interestrate like so many other companies do.

While I can’t promise you this, it’spossible that with this financing plan yourmonthly investments in a new system couldbe more than paid for by the savings you seeon your monthly utility bills.My Disappointment-Proof Guarantee

Talking about lower utility bills, I’m sosure you’ll see at least a 25% cut in yourheating and cooling bills (in reality, it maybe more like 35%+), if you don’t I’ll pay youtwice the difference for 2 years.

Not only are you getting a new, first-quality furnace virtually free, plus a first-quality heat pump at a great price, I guaranteeyou’ll lower your heating and cooling billsby at least 25% or I’ll pay you double yoursavings for 2 years. (This alone shouldconvince you that these systems are someof the very best quality and most efficientavailable).But you’ve got to act fast ... call me at946-1000 right now! This offer ends

May 15th no matter whatDon’t wait to call me. Here’s why. I have

only 8 of each of the 3 sizes. When all of theair conditioners are sold and all the furnaces“given away” in a certain size, the “HottestAND Coolest Deal of the Century” is over.

And if I still have any of the 23 systemsleft on May 31st, this offer still ends. Thereason is that my business only slows downfor a short time. Since these furnaces cost meso little, if I’ve got any left, I’ll sell them nextwinter at last year’s prices and still come outahead.So call me right now at 946-1000

Thanking you in advance,Scott Campbell

OwnerP.S. Remember, there’s no obligation and -

even if you change your mind once I measureyour house and give you the estimate - youstill get that Free Gift Coupon worth $50.

Our View

Harper outragelacks substance

Once upon a time, Prime MinisterStephen Harper’s statements of outrageagainst government waste and cronyismsounded more convincing. That time waswhen he and the Conservatives were inopposition.

When the federal Liberals were caughtwith their hand in the cookie jar of theQuebec sponsorship program, Harper andhis Reform/Alliance/Conservative allieswere right to raise a great noise of outrage.

But saying “I’m not happy,” and “I’mvery upset” when it’s your own senators,your own (now resigned)chief of staff is not enough.

We brought up the spon-sorship scandal, and so didHarper when he spoke toreporters for the first timeabout how the senators heappointed – Mike Duffy in particular – seemto have an interesting understanding of howmuch money they are owed by taxpayers.

Harper should stop talking about whatthe Liberals did a decade ago. Yes, it wasbad. Canadians know that. It’s why they’renow only the third largest party in theHouse of Commons.

The Conservatives, on the other hand,have been in power since 2006. They haveheld a majority government since 2011.

But as with every government that hangson to power in Ottawa for more than ayear or two, Harper now has his own listof scandals, including Bev Oda’s taste forexpensive orange juice and limo rides, orPeter MacKay’s use of a search and rescuehelicopter to go fishing.

Harper cannot pretend to be pure andabove it all. Obviously, a thorough investi-gation of the senators and of former chief ofstaff Nigel Wright is needed. But all of thesepeople were appointed by Harper.

We need not question Harper’s per-sonal integrity to question his judgement.Why are those he handpicked to help leadCanada embroiled in scandal?

We deserve a more complete answer thanplatitudes and blaming the last government.

Given the number of real injustices and out-rages in the world, it’s probably wrong of meto flip out about grammar and word usage.Especially since I am far from perfect myself,in both speech and writing.

But a few days back, the phrase “on acci-dent” hit my brain again, and I cringed.

I’ve always, always used “by accident” and“on purpose.” For the vast majority of English-speaking people, “by accident” isconsidered correct. You will scarce-ly ever see “on accident” in printor on TV, unless you’re watching areality show.

But “on accident” is slowlycreeping into use in both Americanand British English, and althoughI can’t find much evidence northof the 49th parallel, I’d be very surprised if itisn’t already embedded here in Canada, too.

I hate this phrase. Every time I hear it,it’s like steel wool being rubbed across myexposed brain.

This then forces me to confront the fact thatI have absolutely no good reason for my seeth-ing, almost violent rage on this subject.

English changes. It grows, it branches, itsprouts dialects that wither and die or areabsorbed back into the main branch of thelanguage. I know this. Regional change, andchange over time, are constant. Compare JaneAusten to Mark Twain, or Charles Dickens toRaymond Chandler, and you’ll see radicallydifferent styles and word choices evolve over afew decades and a switch in continents.

I also know I’m being irrational, becausesome differences in word usage don’t botherme at all. I grew up saying “pop” when Iwanted a carbonated sugar-laden bever-age. That’s the most common usage acrossmuch of Canada, and a kid saying “soda” islooked at askance. But on TV, we saw noth-

ing but “soda,” as that’s the common usagein California, where most of the network TVshows are written and produced. Pop versussoda is highly variable across North America,with much of the south preferring to use theword coke, as in “What kind of coke wouldyou like?” “I’ll have an Orange Crush.”

Similarly, we’ve reduced other brand namesto common nouns, from kleenex in NorthAmerica to hoover in the U.K.

None of this leaves me the slightest bitupset. Let others use their idioms, and I’ll usemine.

Then I’ll hear an American describe agroup of friends as a clique, and pronounce it“click,” or say that they’ve found their niche,

pronounced “nitch.”The rage comes right back,

and I have to fight the urge tostrangle someone while scream-ing “It’s pronounced ‘cleek’, youmoron, it’s FRENCH!”

Canadians, with their exposureto French words, French class inschools, and Quebec accents on

the news, are much more likely to go with the(to my way of thinking) correct pronunciationsthan Americans.

Why do some words or sentence structuressound so wrong, and why do others soundright? And why do I get so angry about itwhen I hear the wrong words used?

It isn’t like this sort of thing hasn’t hap-pened before. “May I?” and “Can I?” used tobe distinct ideas, with “May I?” asking permis-sion, while its sibling asked if something waspossible. “Can I?” has swallowed up the for-mer, and I’m sure there were some grammargrumps who raged against it as much as I doagainst “on accident.”

I’m not sure which I want more: to win thefight and banish “on accident” to the remot-est inner circle of hell, or to find the abilityto calm down and understand that it reallydoesn’t matter that much. English is going tochange whatever I want, and most of thosechanges will be by accident, rather than onpurpose.

Not that I’m ready to change yet.

Thu r sday, May 23 , 2013 A9Letters to the EditorLangleyAdvance

Dear Editor,I found it quite curious in

your May 14 edition that on onepage there is an opinion thatcomplains about the noise andpollution of the car nut who hasno regard for quiet or subduedsound [Summer sounds sendoff sanity, Odd Thoughts LangleyAdvance], whilst on the oppositepage is a letter stating there is“Room for racing cars with horses.”

This is precisely why I believe the restora-tion of the speedway track is a problem.The mixture of horses and motor sports isnot a good one, and is only an invitation fora disastrous accident.

A valuable program for thera-peutic equestrian riding existsadjacent to the entrance to the oldracing track. Those horses mightbe calmer than most, but theirriders are disabled, meaning aquiet atmosphere is critical to thesafety of the therapy.

Policing the events will be dif-ficult and expensive, not so muchbecause of the participants, per-

haps, but the “car nuts” who will want toshow their “muscle” by revving engines andstreet racing.

Who will really pay the costs, financial orphysical, when accidents happen?

Norma Johnson, Langley

Race events encourage nuts

Dear Editor,It was a good analysis that

“Christy Clark of all peopleshould not take the Liberalwin as an endorsement, butrather she should recog-nize it as a reprieve [Vote

numbers need leadership,May 16 Opinion, LangleyAdvance].”

It was more a protest voteover fear of the NDP, whoappeared to be against allprogress. Gold mines, coal

mines, shipping, pipelines,oil, you name it – like as ifthe economy and people’sjobs were some kind ofright-wing conspiracy.

Mathew Claxton nailed itin his assessment on howthe media covers the cam-paigns [Why it’s good thatpolls failed, May 16 PainfulTruth, Langley Advance]. It’sall talk about the latest dailypolls of who’s up, who’sdown, who has the momen-tum that day, and how allthe reporters become addict-ed to the dazzling process.

And how spending all thistime covering the horse racetakes time away from cover-ing the issues.

If the polls are meaning-less, parties will have toconvince us their beliefsabout the issues fit ourbeliefs.

I hope the watchdogmedia doesn’t think theLiberals have a new man-date to govern the samecrisis/scandal-a-month waythat they were.

Global warming

Denier offered climate tourDear Editor,

David J. Standcumbe belittles those who believe thatglobal warming is a fact [Cold record makes no sense,May 16 Letters, Langley Advance].

He points out that, because Manitoba had its coldest win-ter in more than 100 years, the scientists who insist globalwarming is with us now are incorrect.

I suggest we initiate the “David J. S. Fund” to send Davidon a tour of places on earth that point to global warming asfactual.

The Arctic will be a good start: why is all that ice melting,David? Perhaps it is all the hot air from scientists who claimall our weather is undergoing upheavals, as we are able togrow lemons on the Gulf Islands and the salmon head northfor colder climbs.

Or perhaps it is the unprecedented storms roaring acrossthe USA and the European weather changes, due to the GulfStream fluctuations.

I’ll be happy to donate a dollar towards David’s tour, andI hope he enjoys himself.

Mike Harvey, Langley

Dear Editor,I have to call a foul ball on Tim Opper

[Fans put athletes in their mansions, May14 Letters, Langley Advance].

I was quite upset when I read his letterabout Brett Lawrie and his mansion provid-ed by the fans. Then, once I read it again, Icouldn’t help but feel sad for him.

Its obvious he doesn’t and probably neverdid play sports as a kid, calling baseball a“silly game.” I doubt he ever felt the cama-raderie of marching on to a field with agroup of guys behind each other, ready todo battle with another team.

I was never a baseball fan until I met theLawries. I thought it was ridiculous, theamount they get paid compared to othermajor sports, because I thought it’s not thathard of a sport.

At eight years old, Brett’s passion for thesport had him training six days a week,right up till present day.

Baseball players play 30 games permonth. Brett shows up at the field at noonfor a 7 p.m. game. Per game, baseball play-ers are probably paid less than most profes-sional athletes.

Brett’s passion for a sport has inspiredmillions of Canadian kids to put down theirvideo games to play outside. Before he everplayed one game for the Blue Jays, he haddone more for his country and for Langleythan Tim or I. He is one of few successfulathletes in a predominately American/SouthAmerican sport.

Imagine that, after working 37,440 hours,someone said it was they who suppliedyou with your $300,000 house and $32,000truck. I work 60 hours per week. If some-one was scrutinizing my work constantlyand saying I wasn’t good enough, it wouldget to me – especially when I was 23 and itwas coming from someone who didn’t workas hard as I did.

I don’t know Brett very well, but I knowwhere he came from: hard work, ironcladdedication, and two amazing parents.

It seems it’s time tobring you up to speed ona few openings and anannual general meetingthat might be worth add-ing to your calendar.

Let’s start with a visit tofarm country.

There’s some excit-ing news coming out ofKrause Berry Farms. Alfand Sandee Krause andclan are the family thatmorphed a strawberry cropinto an elaborate farmgateoperation and agri-tour-ism destination on 248thStreet.

Well, these same folksare preparing to officiallyexpand their operation fur-ther. But that new additionmight not be what mostwould expect to find at aberry farm, at least not atfirst glance.

This Saturday the coupleis expecting more than1,000 farm and Facebookfriends to attend a privateparty to mark the openingof their new estate winery.

Sandee tells me the win-

ery has been a long timein the making.

It’s more than justanother way of addingvalue to their berry crops.The winery is a dreamcome true for the couple.

A limited number offarm visitors were givena sneak peek at the newwinery before the oper-ation closed for the seasonaround Christmas.

The general public isgoing to be invited toattend a grand opening ofthe new facilities Sunday,from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

If you can’t make it outthis weekend, don’t worry.We’re just coming up onthe beginning of the berryseason.

Starting next week, thefarm is going to be openWednesdays throughSundays, from 9 a.m. to5 p.m. And depending onhow the strawberry cropsprogress (so far, so good)Sandee expects to openthe operation seven daysa week starting in mid tolate June.

One of the originalbylaws said the aim of theinstitute was to improveconditions of rural life sothat settlement may bepermanent and prosper-ous.

I have to appreciate thefact that that bylaw – andmany others remained ineffect until 1979, when theinstitute officially becamea co-op.

The hard work of morethan 200 volunteersand generosity of 125sponsors have givena single mom and hertwo sons a gift that willchange their lives.

by Troy [email protected]

“I gave you my houseand you’ve given me amansion!” exclaimedsingle mom Cathy Dunn,as she toured through hernewly rebuilt Aldergrovehome on Monday.

Dunn and her sonsIan, 15, and Jamie, eight,are the 2013 recipientsof the Acts of KindnessExtreme Home Repair, aproject coordinated by theAldergrove Seventh-dayAdventist Church.

The Dunn family movedout of the home for 15days, allowing more than200 volunteers to do theirwork on a 30-year-old,three-bedroom rancherthat had suffered signifi-cant water damage andwas in need of a new roof.

Dunn feared she wouldhave to sell the housebecause she couldn’tafford all of the repairsthat were needed.

“We wouldn’t have got-ten much for it,” she toldthe hundreds of volunteersand supporters (includinga few EHR past recipi-ents) who gathered for thereveal. “Home ownershipis very important. It givesus stability, and I reallyfelt it was important tokeep the house. We would

have had to move out ofAldergrove… we’ve cometo love this community somuch. That was our big-gest thing. We didn’t wantto move, so we are verygrateful.”

This year marks the 10thanniversary of the AOKExtreme Home Repair, and

to celebrate, a block partytook place in front of theDunn family home.

The celebration featuredlive music, $1,000 worthof food provided by Save-On-Foods, face painting, aclown, appearances fromdignitaries including FortLangley-Aldergrove MLA

Rich Coleman and LangleyTownship deputy mayorMichelle Sparrow, a ribboncutting, and a tour of thehome.

This was one of the AOKteam’s most ambitiousundertakings yet.

Project coordinatorLorne Brownmiller, who

has been part of theExtreme Home Repairsince its inception, saidan “extensive” amountof work was done on thehouse.

“This one was amongthe largest,” Brownmillersaid. “It’s been probablythe easiest one for me.”

He said that on Fridayafternoon, May 3, thehouse was ripped “rightback to studs.”

Much of the siding wasremoved. The originalsiding had suffered rot andmold, mostly caused fromrain over the years.

…continued from page A11On Sunday morning, May 5, volunteers

started putting the house back together.Electricians, plumbers, and gas fitters,

“generally don’t like to play together,”Brownmiller said.

Not in this case, he added.“They played really well together in that

48 hours and we had it all roughed in byMonday night [May 6] at five o’clock,”Brownmiller said.

By Tuesday, May 7, the poly insulationwas installed, and workers had ripped offmost of the roof.

The new roof was completed onWednesday, May 8, and drywall installa-tion began that morning.

By Friday evening, the drywall work hadbeen completed.

“That was one week,” Brownmiller said.“From sundown Friday [May 3], to sun-down Friday, May 10, wewere ready for paint afterit was torn apart. Eachyear we get more blessedby the ability to coordin-ate and plan. With moretalent coming on board,it makes it easier.”

Brownmiller saidnone of the workwould be possible“without the hundredsof hands that cameand helped us withthis project. It was incredible.”

The Extreme Home Repair project isabout more than sawdust, screws, andnails, Brownmiller stressed.

It’s about the relationships.“The people coming on board who are

new, and people from past years whocome and find us… really, that’s the big-gest reward – that they want to work withus again,” Brownmiller said.

Each year, a deserving family gets a newstart, thanks to the AOK team, and thisyear is no exception, Brownmiller said.

“I’m absolutely delighted at the newstart that Cathy and her boys are going to

have, here,” he said. “That’s whywe’re able to do thisin a short time frame,because we want toput their lives backtogether as quickly aspossible. They’re a greatfamily. I only wish themthe best and I can’t waitto see how their life isgoing to change.”

Aldergrove Seventh-eayAdventist Church associ-ate pastor Mike Daunceynoted that more than 125

sponsors came on board to help makethe project a reality. Among the biggestcontributors were Corona Gas, NorthriseDistribution, Euro-Rite Cabinets, WinvanPaving Ltd., Universal Plumbing SupplyCo., and Nufloors.

Selvy Panganworks on arelaxed andhappy CathyDunn during herday at a localbeauty spa, a giftdonated as partof the ExtremeHome Repairproject.

Matthew ClaxtonLangley Advance

Even before her rebuilt home wasunveiled, Cathy Dunn was spoiled.

by Matthew [email protected]

“I have been thoroughly pamperedtoday,” said Cathy Dunn, the recipientof this year’s AOK Extreme Home Repairproject.

The Friday before the big reveal, Dunnwas whisked off to the Mark AnthonyAcademy of Cosmetology in Langley Cityto receive the royal treatment.

“We’re hoping she likes it,” said LaunieMorgan, who runs the beauty school.

The spa day was organized and paid forby local realtor Diane Sparks-Cassidy.

This is the third year she’s offered aday of pampering for the mother involvedin the Extreme Home Repair project.

“I thought, the house gets a makeover,why doesn’t the wife get a makeover?”

said Sparks-Cassidy, who works forPrudential Power Play Realty.

She started her project when she donat-ed a gift certificate. It had been given toher by her late husband, and she couldn’tbear to use it herself, but wanted some-one to see the benefit.

After that donation, she has paid for thecost entirely out of her own pocket, andhas been happy to do it.

The students at the school ran Dunnthrough a variety of treatments, includ-ing a manicure, a pedicure, a facial, andother pampering.

They then sent her off with a gift bas-ket full of beauty supplies valued at morethan $100.

After the event, Dunn was taken to ahotel in Vancouver for the final weekendbefore the reveal of her newly remodeledhome.

She admitted to being glad she washeading out of town – it was getting hardnot to check out the progress, she said.

Rubbing and layering methods withoils give transition artist a chance toshare her vision of peace.

by Roxanne [email protected]

One form of her art has beendisplayed in prestigious venuesfrom Windsor Castle, HatfieldHouse, Scone Palace, and

Sherborne Castle to dozens of well-rec-ognized shops and galleries throughoutEngland, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales.

She sold her handcrafted jewelry onmultiple continents, including NorthAmerica, for the better part of a decade.

But Heidi Hughes gave that all up about10 years back, switching her art of choicefrom the type that hangs on one’s body tothe kind that hangs on one’s walls.

And this Friday, the Walnut Grovepainter and pastor is hosting an artist’sreception as part of her first solo paintingexhibition on display in Fort Langley.

Having grown up in what she describedas a “highly creative” home in Winnipeg,Heidi credited her father as one of herstrongest influences. He owned a paintingand interior decorating company that hebuilt from the ground up.

Bitten by the same entrepreneurial bugthat snared her father, and following herkeen interest in art, she started a jewelrybusiness in 1990 that she based out ofher home in Edinburgh, Scotland but thatsaw her selling around the globe.

She’s since moved to B.C. and subse-quently transitioned to painting, but stillholds fast to her passion for art as a med-ium to share her message of peace.

“I started painting while I still ran myjewelry company. Initially, I began paint-ing with acrylic paint, with a techniqueof putting on and rubbing off many layersof paint, creating a transparent feel in thefinished result,” Heidi explained.

Then, three years ago sheswapped out acrylics foroils.

“I much prefer oil…Painting with oil enablesme to reach my goal ofhaving rich layers of trans-parency. I love it, and amso happy I have changed tothis medium and format,”she elaborated.

While this is Heidi’s firstsolo show as a painter, shehas participated in threegroup shows.

In her early works, shedid a series on passage-ways, doorways, paths,and arches. This new ser-ies, however, is called Landand Sea, which she hasbeen working on for almosttwo years.

“Through the medium ofoil on canvas, the methodof multiple washes andlayers of paint alongsiderubbing-off techniques,and with much chiaroscuro[strong contrasts betweenlight and dark[, my passionis to paint subjects that areboth intense and beauti-ful,” she said. “I love theintensity in creation; it canteach us so much, as nohuman is exempt from theintensity of life – yet some ofthe most intense experiencesof our lives become the mostbeautiful.”

There are 11 pieces in the show.“The subject matter varies in each

piece. In some pieces, there is more focuson the sky, or sometimes the intensityof the water running, but my overallpurpose and artistic intention is fulfilledin that each piece evokes the messageof peace. Peace in a storm… Even in

the midst of storms and crashing waves,great peace can be present,” Heidi said.

“When I paint, I pray that the Spirit ofGod would guide me, as I desire to cre-ate an atmosphere of peace in my art. Mypurpose or goal is that the viewer willbe touched and experience peace as theyengage with the pieces of this series; thatthey will be refreshed with the perspec-

tive that, although life can be intense attimes, peace is always available to thosewho know how to find it.”

In addition to her art, 50-year-oldHughes is the mother of three adult chil-dren, and grandmother twice over. She isalso a pastor who started her own churchsix years ago with her husband Paul.

Heidi, armed with a bachelors in reli-gious studies, and her husband holdinga PhD in religious studies and havingtaught at Trinity Western University fora dozen years, decided to start The RiverFellowship from their home.

In the past half dozen years, the con-gregation has grown to a following ofabout 200 who attend services Sundayevening at Walnut Grove LutheranChurch.

“We believe art is an expression ofthe image of God, which is in everyone,and celebrate his presence with art andmusic…” Heidi said.

Her art show is on exhibit for themonth of May in a non-traditional space.It’s being displayed at the Re/Max officein the centre of the Fort Langley village.

Re/Max Little Oak Realtycalls it their “upstart artistprogram” where they giveemerging artists space todisplay their works andhost an art show openingreception at no charge.

“It’s a passion of oursto give back to the com-munity we live and workin,” said realtor TrishaBongers. “This is just oneof the ways we can take

advantage of our space,as we are a ‘paperless office’ and don’trequire the conventional filing cabinets,reception and desks that would normallyfill the space.”

Hughes’ show runs for the remainderof the month, and includes a receptionFriday, May 24, from 7:30 to 10 p.m., at9148 Glover Rd. The public is welcome.

The Langley CommunityChorus celebrates theanimal kingdom insong on Sunday.

by Ronda [email protected]

Having played the pianosince she was a smallchild, Langley’s AnitaComba knows a thing ortwo about music.

“I started [playing piano]as a six-year-old, so [I’ve

been playing] most of mylife,” she said.

In 2011, Comba tookthat love of music to anew level by accepting therole of music director withthe Langley CommunityChorus. One of her tasks isto set the program for eachconcert and when it comesto fun, her selections forSunday’s performance willbe hard to beat.

Titled A MusicalMenagerie, the programwill include lively numberslike Unicorn, The BareNecessities, and (All God’s

Creatures Got) A Place inthe Choir. Plus, the seniorfiddlers from the LangleyCommunity Music Schoolwill be joining the chorusin a few of the numbers.

Since becoming director,Comba has brought a dif-ferent level of involvementto the group, according toIlla Stearns, part presidentof the chorus.

“I was pretty excitedby it,” Comba said of theopportunity to lead thechorus. “I’m really famil-iar with the choral world,but I’d never directed...

a group so large. I wasdaunted by the respon-sibility, but it was some-thing I wanted to do. It’svery exciting.”

An exceptional resumeof musical accomplish-ments to her credit,Comba joined the LangleyCommunity Chorus as theaccompanist in 2010. Shealso performs a piece onthe piano at each concert.

According to Stearns,Comba also rehearses andconducts chorus members,plans the season’s musictheme, purchases the

music, organizes and putstogether the practice CDs,arranges guest musicians,and more, as part of herduties.

“This is my second fullyear of doing this,” Combasaid.

As Stearns noted, theboard of the chorus finds

Comba to be very know-ledgeable, highly enthusi-astic, and energetic.

“The chorus membersare so happy to sing forher,” he noted.

“We are currently about78 members,” Comba saidof the chorus. “So it’s abig group of people.”

It’s hard to believe thatBrookswood, which startedout as a Junior Secondary,is approaching its 40thAnniversary as a school servingLangley students, and, in manycases, several generations ofBrookswood families. In theseforty years, Brookswood haschanged in numerous ways,from staff and students, to thebuilding itself in order to meet the needs ofits students and community. What hasn’tchanged is that Brookswood is all aboutoffering opportunities for students. Today,the staff at Brookswood Secondary strives toeducate our students for the needs of the 21stCentury citizen.

One program that represents Brookswood’smove into the 21st Century is our Cat Packprogram. The 2013/14 year will be our pilotyear, with an offering of one class of the CatPack at the grade 8 level in each of our Englishand French Immersion programs. Below is anexcerpt of our rationale and vision for theprogram. We plan on expanding the programto grades 9 to 12 over the next five years.

In the not so distant past, the roleof the teacher was to share

their knowledge. The schoollibrary or the home’s World

Book Encyclopediacontained all theinformation thatmattered. If studentsdidn’t have anencyclopedia athome, they had towait until the schoolopened the next

morning to access theinformation.

Today, computertechnology and the Internet

have made vast informationresources available. It is estimated

that the amount of digital information presentlyavailable is over one hundred times the totalinformation that existed in the world twentyyears ago. The teacher can no longer be theperson who knows “everything”.

Our vision at Brookswood is to equipour students with the skills and toolsto truly be 21st century learners.We aim to break down theclassroom walls and make theworld part of the learning spacefor our students. We aim toteach them the skills to take theirlearning beyond the 65-minuteperiod so that learning takesplace whenever and wherever ourstudents want to learn.

Our vision forour studentsis to be part ofan environmentwhere theycan have theopportunity toexplore, innovate,and collaborate with students in their classor experts around the world. We believe thatthe use of technology will create a cultureof digital and global learning, increase therelevance of education in real-world scenarios,and allow for a more individualized, flexibleand differentiated learning.

Our vision is that students construct their owndigital learning library, a blend of universalresources and personalized learning tools thatfit each student’s learning style. This digitalThis digitallearning library is not turned in or erased atn or erasedthe end of the school year but is added to,but is addeedited and enhanced so that they will onehat they will oneday take it with them from Brookswood as theirood as theirpersonalized network of content.

The Cat Pack is comprised of two groupsof two gof grade 8 students, one French immersion,rench immersion,the other English. Students will use an iPadse an iPadas their digital learning library and will takeand will takthe core academic subjects together withtogetherteachers that will alter their teaching stylesteachingto take advantage of the opportunitieshe opportunitiesprovided by these devices.

The James Anderson LearningCentre is designed as a small (180student), academic environment specializing inhelping youth who are not achieving their academicpotential, regardless of reason.Many of the studentswho attend James Anderson Learning Centre havebeen the victims of violence, cultural alienation ortheir own unhealthy self concepts and learningbarriers. James Anderson Learning Centre helpsthese students understand how their own negativeself concepts are getting in their way. Our studentshave a variety of talents, and are extremely caringand accepting of one another. The schools modelintegrates developmental readiness (Fig1) withina variety of escalating therapeutic interventions,all being embedded throughout a traditional,university preparation academic model. We do notenable a youth’s negative self concept or label bylimiting expectations or offering traditional one onone support. We are a school that uses a pro-social“drama free” culture of support and acceptanceto create an environment that is safe, nurturing andempowering. There are three core componentsof James Anderson Learning Centre: AcademicCore, Resiliency Core and Resolution Core.

The Academic Core is comprised of theGrade 8 - 12 Dogwood Graduation

Program with a variety of coursesbeingoffered(basedonenrolment

and semester requirements):English 8-12, Communications

11/12, Mathematics 8-11,Science 8-10, Science& Technology 11, EarthScience 11, Chemistry 11,Physics 11,Biology 12,SocialStudies 8-11, First Nations 12,Leadership 11/12 (HumanServices 11/12), Health

and Career 8/9, Planning10, Graduation Transitions

12, Planning 12, Family Studies11/12, Foods and Nutrition 11/12,

Physical Education 8-12, WeightTraining 11, Drama 11, Art Foundations

11-12, Studio Art 11 and Dance 11. Thestudents who enroll at James Anderson Learning

Centre can expect to make improvements in theireducation, but more importantly to us, in our sevencore student “reasons for dropping out” risk factors:general health, mental health, attachment, identitydevelopment, home, school and community riskfactors. Along with traditional report cards, if theywish, our students can track these seven risk factorsas well to assess their individual progress and for

general self awareness.The Resiliency Core comprises a school wide

“life” preparedness focus that explorespersonal barriers to success, resiliencyeducation, physical education andwellnessplanning. Ourstudents learnthatthe key to future success is through workethic, self awareness and self-advocacy.We at James Anderson are extremelyconscious of enabling “independence

rather than dependence.” The ResiliencyCore incorporates various models and

approaches including access to the District’sProject Resiliency Program, Restorative Action

and our specializedLeadership classes,Human Services 11and 12.The Resolution Coreis where JamesAnderson LearningCentre focuseson those whoare feeling aloneand unsupportedthrough theirstruggles, whateverthosestrugglesmaybe.JamesAndersonhascreatedan open and accepting mental health programwhich utilizes the most up to date attachment andcognitive neuroscience theories. Our open “thereare no good secrets” culture allows for the sharingof experiences, thoughts and feelings resultingin a very safe and therapeutic environment. Alarge variety of counselling services are offeredin house as well by our outstanding communitypartners. While functioning as a safe place, wecreate a pro-social culture where leadership skillsdevelop naturally and when ready, are intentionallynurtured through our James Anderson Leadershipson LeadershProgram. These students learn as active memberss active memof the school that helping others contributes toers contributheir own feelings of value and purpose. We atose. We atJames Anderson believe there is no better way tobetter way tostrengthen an adolescent’s sense of self than beingself than begiven opportunities to help others and give back toand give batheir communities.James Anderson Learning Center’s leadershipCenter’s leadershipprogram focuses on strengthening peer to peereer to peesupport systems and youth centred preventionred preventistrategies. We know that peer pressure and peerssure and peculture are two of the most powerful forces inpowerful forcshaping youth identity, attitude, and behaviour., and behaviour.These factors are also highly correlated inhly correlated inreinforcing healthy and unhealthy attitudes andtitudes anbehaviour.

“Working together for studentsuccess…” is part of the LangleySchool District’s mission aswell as the focus of LEC andover the last 25 years LangleyEducation Centre (LEC) hashelped thousands of studentsfind success through its unique,personalized programs. LEC is aflexible and diverse high school inthe district for students from age16 to adult who are interested ineither graduating or upgradingtheir grade 10-12 courses. Oneof the main strengths of LEC hasalways been the diversity of itsstudents who come with a varietyof backgrounds, expectationsand experiences, but all with a common goalof improving themselves and their opportunitiesfor the future. It is that diversity with a commonpurpose that allows all LEC students, even theones who never really felt like school was a positiveexperience for them, to feel at home.This year LEChas registered over 1600 students in courses andhelped over 150 students graduate on both theregular and adult graduation program.

dcb=<ic dbNN<dddche8<dSHowever, numbers tell only a small part of thestudent success at LEC. A much more importantside of success is the sense of belonging andacceptance that LEC students talk about when youask them how they feel about the school. Tyson, anLEC student in his early 20’s, really appreciates the

option to still have a job while workingon his education. More importantly

is the welcoming setting he hasfound where staff find ways to

make things work. He reallylikes that no one is forcinghim to do anything, but ifyou want it the staff reallyhelp and encourageyou. “You feel likeeveryone’s got yourback here”. Danaya, an18 year old student whoalso likes the flexibleschedule that LEC offers,also really enjoys the

natural mentoring andshared experience with

younger and older studentstaking classes together. As

well she has really appreciatedthe way LEC teachers are able to

focus on her as an individual and haveencouraged and listened to her.

Dez, 17 year old student, says she feels like LECis preparing her for post-secondary becauseeveryone is on the same page no matter whattheir age. “Everyone is friendly, and there is helpfrom both staff and other students everywhere youlook. When I work with other students in the studyarea it is like a multicultural neighbourhood. Forme, LEC is a safe place and I love it here.”

Tanya, a student in her 40’s, has reallyappreciated the sense of welcomingshe has felt at LEC and the never-give-up attitude from both staffand other students. “Life happens,and sometimes the recovery is thesuccess. Many students really seemto gravitate to LEC because whenyou haven’t always had success orhave been discouraged in the pastyou engage differently. I can reallysee the difference in myself and otherstudents from when we first started here

until now from theencouragementwe have foundhere.”

5<Nhgc8hidSThe flexibility andsupport at LEC is possible partly because it is actuallythree schools and programs rolled into one. Thefirst option allows students to enroll in semesteredclasses that provide a supportive structure workingwith a teacher and others students. Taking classesthis way has proven to be the most successfuland popular option for LEC students because itprovides a supportive environment with set startand end times for students to complete. Classesare offered from Monday to Thursday with optionsfor morning,afternoon or evening times.This meansmost people with other commitments like work orfamily are usually able to build a personalizedpersonalizedschedule that fits them. Students like semesteredlike semestereclasses because there are flexible times, while alsole times, whileallowing them to be in a class with other studentswith other stall learning together. New for the 2013/14 school3/14 schoolyear, LEC is moving to a trimester system that willystem that wilalign more closely with university and collegety and colleentrance dates and allow students to finish theirnts to finishcourses sooner. First term classes will run fromsses will runSeptember to December, second term classes willond term classes willrun from January to April, and the new third termew third termclasses will run during May and June.

The second option available at LEC is distributedLEC is distribulearning, a self-paced option. Students can enrolltudents can enrollin a self-paced course any time from Augusttime from Augustuntil April and work at their own pace throughown pace throughthe course. All students work with the support ofhe supporta teacher either by coming in at least once aeast oncweek to work on-site at LEC, or by working andby workinginteracting with a teacher in an online setting.online seThe advantage for some students is the ability tois the ability towork at their own pace and at times that work formes that work forthem as well as being able enroll throughout theoll throughout theschool year.

The third option LEC offers is specifically foris specificallystudents who are part of CHOICES, a program forICES, a programschool aged students working on their grade 10on their grade

Educators, parents, staff andvolunteers working together tosupport students’ intellectual,creative, physical, socialand personal developmentby emphasizing basic skills,a strong work ethic, studentresponsibility and respect forothers.For a small school in Langley,BC, LFMSS has certainly madeits mark within School District35! From humble beginningsin 1999 as solely a middle school located in a‘one hallway’ school in Willoughby, LFMSS hasgrown into the only middle and secondaryschool in Langley, celebrating its 7th year ofgraduating high school students .Our school is small. Yet what some mayview as our greatest challenge is in fact ourgreatest strength. We know almost everyface we pass in the hallway and they knowus. The classes are not over-flowing andthe teachers take the time to actually getto know their students. There are so many

teachers who gladly stay to give us anyextra help we need to succeed.

That has made educationaccessible to those who

learn differently or ata different pace.Students truly feelthat the teachersare on our side. Theresult is the creationof a great network of

peoplewhogenerallysupport each other

and it is because wefeel supported that so

many students are ableto shine. Being small means

people come together, it enables us to createincredible friendships and it creates a feelingof belonging, almost like a family. Rather thanlooking at ourselves as small we see ourselvesas a close-knit community.Like any community, our school populationhas diverse interests, talents and abilities.Though our school focuses on thefundamentals of learning it alsoprovides students with opportunities to

explore these other interests. Thereare a number of creative

programsthatallowstudentsto pursue their interests in

art, music, creative writingand photography. We haveclasses such as communityP.E., leadership, business,technology and global

education that help studentsengage in the world around us.

We have opportunities at almost

every grade levelto travel,enrichingour educationand helping usbecome morec o n n e c t e dthrough sharedexperiences.Located in South Langley, LFMSS runs as asuccessful public high school with strongcommunity involvement and success whosemain goals are student learning, enrichmentand success.

Highlights this year for our modest school arethe successes of the Volleyball teams winningprovincial and national awards as well asthe exuberant musical Aladdin involving theinvolving thewhole school and much more..

A musical instrument is one of thestars in a church’s concert program.

by Ronda [email protected]

It’s all because of a piano.The United Churches of Langley has

a brand new Sauter grand piano andwanted to share that new addition withthe community. A concert series was theanswer, with the second installment onSaturday.

“We just bought a brand new piano,”noted Barb Nelson, who does communi-cations for the church. “And this [theconcert series] is a way to share this gor-geous new piano with the community.”

The set of three individual concertsbegan with Michael Joseph Dirk creatinga celebration of the organ entitled BlastOff! at the end of April.

“The organ [concert]was wonderful, it wasreally great,” Nelson said.

Looking forward,Saturday evening fea-tures four young musi-cians known as the FolkVespers Group or theSabbath Band.

Each with their ownpursuit of music, thequartet creates a soundlikened to somethingbetween old Englishhymns and 21st centuryrock.

The concert is at 7:30 p.m. at theUnited Churches of Langley at 21562 OldYale Rd. Tickets are still available at $12

for adults and $8 for students.Contact 604-530-2929 or ucol.ca for

more information.The last concert in the series, consid-

ered to be the grand finale in celebrationof the new piano, is Ian Parker.

A Vancouver-born pianist, Parkerhas performed across theUnited States, WesternEurope, Israel, and exten-sively throughout Canada.He began piano studies atage three with his father,Edward Parker.

On June 8, Parker willperform Beethoven, Ravel,Gershwin and Liszt on thechurch’s new piano.

It is a classical piano per-formance.

“That’s a concert thatshould not be missed,”Nelson said. “I’m expecting

that we will be sold out.”Tickets are $20 and must be purchased

beforehand.• More at www.langleyadvance.com

In any vote for the mostpopular food crop, toma-toes would win every time– and if you can keep theirfoliage dry and give themwarmth, food, water, andsun, they’re easy to growand very productive.

But it’s not easy tojuggle all the variables.Raised beds in green-houses give tomatoesthe smoothest ride: theydevelop quickly whentheir roots are in deep soil:a vigorous shake is all thepollination they need, andheat builds up in the glass(or polyethylene) sur-round.

The moist winds thatspread tomato blight don’tenter greenhouses, andwatering and feeding arecontrolled by the gardener.Foliage can stay dry, andthe gardener can pro-vide compost, well-rottedmanure, fish fertilizers, ororganic fertilizer with highphosphorous (middle num-

ber) that tomatoes love.People who grow toma-

toes in the same spot yearafter year should changethe soil before each newbatch is planted. That andcareful attention to wat-ering, rich feeding, anddry foliage stops manytroubles from starting.

Scatterbrained wateringcan cause problems. Smallfruit or fruit-drop areresponses to inadequatewater. Irregular wateringcan produce split toma-toes and leaf curl. In hotweather, watering shouldbe done at least oncedaily.

More people growtomatoes in containersthese days. A good loca-tion is against a south orwest wall to benefit fromreflected heat. The roofoverhang will protect tosome degree against rain.

Containers dry out, andmay need water twice onhot days.

Tomatoes, like ‘Tumbler’and its long, danglingbranches, can be grown inhanging baskets.

Big containers producebigger crops. But somedwarf cherry tomatoes arebred for small containers.

The ‘Tiny Tim’ bushtomato grows about 30centimetres, and the min-iscule ‘Micro Tom’ growsabout 20cm tall, and mayproduce fruit in a 4” pot.

In a garden bed, toma-toes are a gamble that canpay off big under a plastic

hoop house – or uncov-ered, in an unusually dry,hot summer. In a wetsummer, an uncoveredcrop will be lost to blight.

But blight-resistanttomatoes are becomingeasier to find. ‘Defiant’ islarge-fruited, ‘MountainMagic’ is a large cherrytype, and both producedmany tomatoes for me inthe long, hot summer lastyear. I don’t yet knowhow they would do in acold, wet summer.

‘Legend’ has also pro-duced well for me.

Try to avoid plantingtomatoes anywhere pota-toes have been grownin the past few years, oruse mulch to keep fromsplashing up blight sporeswhile watering. If yourmulch is plastic, you’llneed to run a soaker hoseunderneath it.

Bush tomatoes (deter-minate types) seldom needto be pruned, because theyproduce short brancheswith the fruit truss only atthe tip.

But indeterminate(vine) tomatoes grow intohuge bushes unless youprune out most of thesuckers that sprout fromleaf axils. The first three orfour suckers can be kept,because they may havetime to produce fruit. Thelater ones won’t.

The local Soroptimist group will usethe funds raised at its annual dinnerto support at risk youth.

by Ronda [email protected]

Like lobster? How about doing some-thing good for the community? Add hav-ing fun to the equation and it becomesa night out with the Soroptimist of theLangleys group.

This year’s Lobster Mania, an annualdinner put on by the local Soroptimistclub, promises to deliver fun for atten-dees plus hope for at-risk youth.

All funds raised from the Saturday din-ner will go towards a Langley bus withProject Out Reach, a program for youth toengage, build relationships, and preventharmful street life. The modified bus issomething of a mobile drop-in centre thattravels to places at-risk youth might hangout at night.

“It’s always something different eachyear” said Hilary Scarrottf, the memberresponsible for ticket sales, about sup-porting Project Out Reach.

A “dress down” kind of evening, the$55 ticket includes a two-pound Atlanticlobster, salads, buns, and all the “fixin’s”that go with a lobster feast.

For this entertaining, but somewhatmessy venture, the group advisesguests to bring the claw-crackers. TheSoroptimists will supply the bibs.

Additional fundraising during the even-ing will include a silent auction amongother activities.

“There’s door prizes, a couple of gameslike the tooney toss and a few otherthings,” Scarrottf noted.

Having run for a few years, past atten-dees will know the lobster love-in alsoincludes music by a local DJ and a no-host bar.

“Time flies, doesn’t it?” Scarrottf saidwhen asked to recall how many yearsLobster Mania has been around. “Quite afew.”

The George Preston Recreation Centreat 20699 42 Ave. will house Saturdayevening’s excitement with doors openingat 6 p.m. and dinner served at 7 p.m.

Because lobsters need to be ordered inadvance and tickets are selling quickly, itmay be difficult to get one, but try con-tacting Scarrottf at 604-530-4358.

Bringing it home

Contemporary dancersfrom Aldergrove’sKick It Up A Notch

Academy of Dance werethe overall winners of theUltimate Peak Challenge atthe Abbotsford Peak dancecompetition at the AbbeyArts Centre recently.

Studios from throughoutthe Fraser Valley wererepresented in over 1,000

different dances in theweek-long event.

Only 17 dances werepicked for the finale. Withthe overall highest scoresin their divisions, KickIt Up A Notch had thehonour of being askedto showcase two differ-ent pieces in the premierevent: a Division 2 jazzsolo by Alaina Orr as wellas a Division 4 seniorcontemporary piece, ComeHome that shares the storyof the relationship and dif-ficulties of having a lovedone away at war.

Come Home was namedas the overall winner.

“Just to be asked toperform in this event wassuch a big honour,” said

studio director and chor-eographer Tonya Wejr,“but then to be recognizedas the overall top dancein the entire competi-tion… pretty much leftme speechless. These girlshave worked so hard thisyear and we were evendown a dancer (due toinjury) so to have themrise up like this makes meso proud.”

As well as barrels, the rodeo featured goat tail tying, steer wresting, saddle bronc, bull riding, pole bending, and breakaway, team and tie down roping.

A dominant second period was the difference inLangley’s 13-10 win over Maple Ridge Sunday.

by Troy [email protected]

The defending Western Lacrosse Association championLangley Thunder were looking to improve their recordto 2-0 when they made their 2013 home debut last night(May 22) at the Langley Events Centre.

Results from the Thunder’s home opener againstthe Coquitlam Adanacs, the team Langley defeated inthe WLA playoff championship series last summer,got underway after the Langley Advance went to pressWednesday afternoon.

Thunder 13, Maple Ridge Burrards 10Sunday’s season opener at Planet Ice Maple Ridge fea-

tured the worst (the Burrards) and first (the Thunder)place teams from the 2012 season.

The Burrards, who finished at the bottom of the seven-team WLA standings with a 4-13-1 record last season,appeared poised for an upset early on.

The hosts scored the final three goals of the first per-iod to carry a 7-4 lead into the intermission.

But in the middle stanza, the Thunder took over byoutscoring the Burrards 5-0 to move ahead 9-7.

The Burrards made a strong push in the third periodwith back-to-back goals to narrow their deficit to 10-9.

After that, the Thunder cemented the victory withgoals from Joel McCready, Athan Iannucci, and ShayneJackson to make it 13-9.

Burrards’ star Curtis Dickson scored his third of thegame with 1:13 remaining in regulation to round out thescoring.

McCready had a productive night with four goals andthree assists.

He also got into a fight with Maple Ridge’s MitchellBanister with 32 seconds to go in the game, and endedup finishing with 19 minutes in penalties.

“I think we came out and were a little rusty at first,and our defence really stepped it up in the second per-iod and let us get out there and have some offensivesuccess,” McCready said. “It’s still early in the year, soeveryone’s getting used to playing with each other.”

Summer Maintenance ofRural Boulevards and DitchesThe Township of Langley uses three full-time and one seasonalroadside grass mower for ditch mowing. This equipment haspredetermined routes or an assigned area to follow. If the equipmentis pulled away to do a specific request, it only lengthens the time ittakes to fully complete all the rural boulevards and ditches.

If you have a request for mowing or brushwhacking, we ask thatyou be patient as we try to fit the work schedule in as efficiently aspossible.

The Township, along with Provincial and Federal agencies, haveclassified open channel water systems into three categories:

Class A ditches are fish bearing and Class B ditches are fish habitat.Both of these categories require formal approval before any work canbe completed.

Class C ditches are deemed to have no fish or fish habitat issueswhatsoever and only require notification for work to take place.

How or when a ditch is cleaned depends on its classification. Thankyou for your understanding as we operate under these requirements.

Local adult squads hope to includegraduating youth players to round outtheir rosters.

The Langley United Soccer Association isentering the realm of men’s soccer.

The youth club and Langley United FCMen’s club (LUFCA) have merged into theLangley United Soccer Association in timefor the 2013 fall season that kicks off inSeptember.

LUFCA had 11 teams competing in theFraser Valley Men’s Soccer League duringthe 2012/13 season.

Informal discussions began a few monthsago with the hope that the men’s programcould seamlessly join LUSA.

It did not take long for the two groups torealize it was mutually beneficial for thetwo clubs to come together.

LUSA needed to expand its adult pro-gramming in order to have a properavenue for its youth players to “graduate”to men’s and women’s soccer, and LUFCAneeded LUSA’s graduating players in order

to continue to fill its men’s team rosters– something it was unable to do with itsprogram structure this past year.

“The joining of the two clubs has beenanticipated for years and we look forwardto having the men’s club join into LUSAto create one large club with the com-mon goal of building a soccer club all ofLangley can be proud of,” said LUSA pres-ident Shelley Chandra, who thanked theleadership of LUFCA for coming forwardand working hard to make this union areality. “Langley United is inclusive and weare working to build our club even furtheras we continue our momentum towardsbecoming one of B.C.’s best soccer clubs.”

Mike Wagner, president of the men’sclub, noted that LUFCA has worked closelywith LUSA for many years.

“Our joining in to officially create onelarge club makes sense on many differenteconomic, programming, and communitylevels,” Wagner said. “Most importantly,we now have one major club in Langleyunder which our entire soccer commun-ity can work together towards the excit-ing goal of building one of the best soccer

clubs in British Columbia.”Joining forces with a club with the vision

and direction of LUSA has always beenLUFCA’s goal, according to Wagner.

“The meshing of the programming willhelp graduating youth players in making aseamless transition into the adult game,”he added. “We are all excited about thisnew chapter, and look forward to playinga part in building a club we can all call ourown.”

LUFCA will shortly disband its societyand fold its operations into LUSA with theintention of commencing play under theLUSA banner beginning this September.

With the union of the two clubs, LangleyUnited becomes, by a significant margin,the largest soccer club in the Fraser Valley,according to the club.

With more than 2,500 registered play-ers and growing, the club is looking toexpand on-field programs, coach educationprograms, and its outreach into the com-munity as Langley’s largest youth sportsorganization.
