Fish, ‘started from scratch’ Tools, Zumba and popcorn continued from page A3
• Rod Langtry: Son-in-law of Pat, president and CEO at Cascade Raider Holdings Ltd. (Raider-Hansen), Burnaby. Rod was quick to offer us a donation of $5,000 in tools and safety gear from Raider-Hansen. In addition he has supplied 20 hard hats and safety vests with the Mossom Creek Hatchery logo (over $2,000 value) and it is rumoured that we will have“gold-plated”shovels courtesy of RaiderHansen for our sod-turning in late July. • Krista Langtry: Pat’s daughter and the owner of theYounique Fitness Studio in Port Moody. She organized and put on our highenergy Zumba party fundraiser at Pleasantside elementary on May 9. It was a remarkable evening with about 40 women plus two brave men (Pat and one of our Mossom regulars, Wally). That netted $695 for the hatchery. • Ryan Dennett: Pat’s son, who is assisting with the design and supply of a glass floor skylight in the deck over the Coho tubs. • Emma Langtry: Pat’s granddaughter, responded after the fire by helping form an environmental club at Pleasantside elementary along with a couple of other young ladies. With the help of principal Heather Birnie, they held a two-day popcorn sale, raising $79, and have since done a coin drive at the school. • Lola Langtry: Pat’s younger granddaughter. She held her birthday party at Mossom — a forest party — and asked her guests to donate to the hatchery rather than give her gifts. She raked in $190 for the cause. • Judy Dennett: Pat’s wife is keeping the home fires burning, supporting the supporters. She participated in the Zumba party and attended the Fingerling Festival. So that’s one heck of a lot of help from one family.

On her visit to the hatchery, Dennett fed the coho in the tanks and toured the plot of land beneath the cedar trees, falling in love with the place. “My, what a beautiful spot up in the forest,” she said. That’s saying a lot because Dennett, 94, has painted all over B.C., including the Gulf Islands, and knows natural beauty when she sees it. She has shown her work, mostly oils, pastels, watercolours and acrylics, in several exhibits over the years and is a member of the South Delta Artists’ Guild. What she didn’t expect, perhaps, is how her visit inspired her to learn more about Mossom Creek and the hatchery work that has

Once back at home in South Delta, Dennett went online to learn about Mossom’s history and the ins and outs of salmon enhancement. “I didn’t realize they hatched eggs there — caught the fish, milked them [for eggs] and started from scratch,”

Dennett said. Now that she has been to the site and completed her painting, Dennett is prepared to come back and see the rebuilt hatchery at work once more. And if her small efforts have helped with re-construction, she said, then that’s all for the good.
