It used to be possible in Langley to pretend gangs were someone else’s problem. Since the gang war of 2009, and the police announcement that at least one gang is based here, that is no longer possible. The Langley Advance looks at gangs, their methods and motives, and the impact they have on our community. • Dial-a-dope operations: The street level source of cash for violent drug gangs • Gangs and murder: A rundown of the gang-linked slayings in Langley in 2009 • Undefended border: The cat and mouse game between border guards and gangsters smuggling guns and drugs • Prevention: How Langley police try to keep kids away from the gang lifestyle.

Life for young people in a small community can sometimes feel like living in a fish bowl but there are some groups in the community reaching out to help them through rough waters. Youth-at-risk in Langley can turn to people, like RCMP Cpl. Kerri Cooke, of the Youth Unit.

Local youth-at-risk can get help Several groups try to help youth before others steer them wrong. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Langley RCMP Youth Unit isn’t full of kiddy cops. It’s staffed with a variety of police officers whose primary concern is the safety and well-being of the community’s young people. A component of their work is gang deterrence. Cpl. Kerri Cooke oversees two officers on a youth-at-risk team and four who are school resource officers. The goal behind specifically devoting officers to youth has to do with the hardest-to-measure aspect of policing: crime prevention. Gangs prey on youths’ feelings of invincibility, and play off pop culture stereotypes to recruit new members. Cooke noted that gang members who break the law are simply criminals, and when they do it together, they are organized crime. Gang leaders know they can turn some young people through drug dependency or the lure of what appears to be easy money and fancy vehicles. But in the end, the young people are just being used, allowed to take the fall for others. “We have youths being utilized for property crimes,” Cooke noted. RCMP members on the youth-at-risk team are part of a broader community network of probations, Family and Youth Service Society, Ministry of Children and Families, schools, and

others working to help young people. “We do a lot of integrated case management,” Cooke explained. That’s the formal term for groups working together to keep young people from heading down criminal or selfdestructive paths, including the gang lifestyle, and also helping young people to change their lives. The youth-at-risk group will work with families to build a care plan for a young person. Cooke said the group works to fight youth problems from Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder to drug abuse to petty crime involvement. Cooke said it’s worth the effort, to not only help the kids, but also reduce the resources required to deal with them. “How do you keep them from becoming involved in criminal activities?” Cooke said that’s a key question for those who work with troubled youth. In schools, the RCMP liaisons help identify youth at risk, and work with the schools and other agencies. “We are doing a lot of restorative justice stuff in the schools,” she said, explaining that restorative justice involves getting people who do wrong together with experts and victims, and to take responsibility for what they’ve done. Langley’s youth-at-risk team was created in the spring of 2008. In the team’s first year, Cooke said, it dealt with about three times as many young people as expected. And the team has been around long enough for young people to see the

benefits: “There’s a real rapport there that’s happening with the kids,” she said. Some of the teens play in weekly hockey practices, and scrimmage with and against police officers, probations staff, and others. But it’s not about whitewashing activities or giving kids a free pass. “We’re very up front – if you do something wrong, you are going to be held responsible for those actions,” Cooke said. Cooke had some advice for famillies or friends concerned that a young person has is headed into a dangerous life. “Every teenager is going to back talk,” she said. “Every teenager is going to do teenage things,” adding that most young people turn out fine. But there are teenage behaviours that should cause concern, she pointed out. Serious danger signs might be if a youth is suddenly sporting expensive clothing or other items, has multiple cellphones, or is being dropped off by friends in fancy vehicles, not going to school, or exhibiting a big change in attitude and interaction style with family members. Cooke noted that her team fields calls from worried parents, and welcomes parents and young people to get in touch, whether they want to ask some questions or discuss their concerns. The Youth Unit can be reached through the non-emergency number of the RCMP’s main Langley detachment at 604-532-3200.

In one year, 2009, Langley saw almost every variety of gangland violence, from targeted hits to the murder of streetlevel drug dealers. Five people were murdered in and around Cpl. Dale Carr Langley in one year, IHIT spokesperson beginning with the assassination of Kevin LeClair, a 26-year-old Surrey man gunned down outside the IGA in Walnut Grove in mid-afternoon on Feb. 6, while terrified shoppers ran for cover. Other murders took place under cover of darkness. On March 14, Laura Lynn Lamoureux, a 36year-old woman, was shot and killed on 50th Avenue near Sendall Gardens. She was known to be involved in street-level drug dealing. On March 19, Langley’s Marc Bontkes, a 33year-old housing developer, was shot to death in a park on the Langley-Surrey border, leaving behind a wife and three-year-old son. Police now say his killing was likely linked to drugs, but have given few details. On March, Kyle Llewellyn Barber, 24, was stabbed to death in an Otter-area home. The two men arrested in the case both had gang ties. Stephen Robert Guzzo, originally from Chicago, was found in a burned-out, stolen Camaro on the railway tracks near 208th Street and 96th Avenue on Sept. 23. The slayings, from high-profile hits to the killing of low-level dealers, illustrates the dangerous nature of gangs and gang members, said Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. “They’re volatile individuals, oftentimes,” Carr said of gang members. The decision to kill someone can be made in haste or in cold blood. Based on statistics from the Lower Mainland and other parts of Canada, IHIT’s officers estimate that it takes about six months to close a conventional murder case. If gangs or drugs are involved, it takes 18 months or more. • More online

There is no tangible connection between local graffiti and today’s gangs, according to Langley RCMP Const. Jill Ewanyshyn. That wasn’t always the case.

Texting tips to CrimeStoppers

CrimeStoppers

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Conviction over meth by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A Langley man has been convicted of making methamphetamine, after being linked to a sophisticated drug lab near 100 Mile House. Marco Tulio Curcio, 42, is convicted of production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. A sentencing hearing has been set for Oct. 22 in 100 Mile House. RCMP officers raided a home in the small community of Forest Grove on May 4, 2007, and discovered the largest known reaction flask for producing meth in North America, said Cst. Craig Douglass, an RCMP spokesperson. Officers also recovered 16.7 kilograms of meth, equivalent to about 160,000 street doses, Douglass said. The operation could have created up to 20 kilograms per batch.

How you can share information about a suspected crime or criminal: 1. Call the longstanding telephone service at: 1-800-222-8477. 2. Go online to: www. greatervancouvercrimestoppers.com 3. Now, tipsters can text a message with the keyword “BCTIP” to 274637 (CRIMES). • Tipsters will never be identified.

Const. Jack Stetz is the CrimeStoppers coordinator for this region (EDivision) with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

• CrimeStoppers doesn’t use call display.

so has CrimeStoppers, Stetz explained. A website (www.greatervancouvercrimestoppers. com) lets people elaborate at will, any time of day or night, from the comfort of their own home. And they can include photos or video feed. That now already accounts for about 25 per cent of the region’s CrimeStopper tips. He expects it’s only a matter of time before the texting takes off, too.

• CrimeStoppers doesn’t want the tipster’s name, phone number or email address... they only want the information.

CrimeStoppers has been in Metro Vancouver for 25 years, covering the entire Lower Mainland from Whistler to Abbotsford. It is Canada’s first multilingual tipline. It’s no longer just about reports of suspected or known marijuana grow ops in a person’s neighbourhood, CrimeStoppers is about reporting a lot more serious crimes – much of that gang-related activity in the Lower Mainland. Since the beginning of the year in this region,

• Tipsters will never have to testify in court. • Tipsters can receive a cash reward of up to $2,000 upon an arrest and charge.

CrimeStoppers has received 638 tips that resulted in 60 arrests, 35 cleared cases, more than $300,000 in stolen property being recovered, and the seizure of $9.5 million in drugs. …continued on page A6

Real Weight Loss for Real Moms Dear All Mom’s: I never had a problem with my weight. I always felt comfortable with the way I looked and took my health pretty much for granted. After I had my children the weight I put on during pregnancy just didn’t want to go anywhere. I was always tired, my body hurt and I was extremely uncomfortable in my clothes and never felt like myself. I knew I needed to lose weight and I casually tried to diet but I couldn’t do it on my own. I wanted to lose weight and keep it off. I wanted to know how and what to eat for my body. I researched different weight loss programs for over a year until I decided on SureSlim. I knew so many people personally who had lost over 50 pounds on the SureSlim program and kept it off for over a year… My husband and I started in October with SureSlim and we haven’t looked back! SureSlim has given me the skills I need to take back my life and be in control of my weight. With the amazing support of the SureSlim staff I was easily able to apply SureSlim to my life. Because of my weight loss my Doctor told me I was able to now stop taking medication I had been on for 4 years. To date I have lost almost the weight of my son! My self-conﬁdence is back. I am ﬁnally after 9 years looking FORWARD to summer instead of dreading it. When you decide you want change SureSlim works. It really can happen to you! Shelley Langley, B.C.

Fear is a prime reason witnesses do not report crime or suspicious activities – but it was the opposite during last year’s open gang violence. CrimeStoppers was deluged with tips following the murders, shootings, and other violence in Langley and other Lower Mainland communities last year. Without question, 2009 was a record year for tips to CrimeStoppers, which Const. Jack Stetz said was directly attributed to the gang violence that seemed to focus on his hometown of Langley. Those calls, along with anonymous intelligence, the RCMP’s E-Division CrimeStoppers coordinator said, were behind arrests and quelling the rampage. It was also during this spree that CrimeStoppers first introduced its newest tool – text messaging – into the arsenal against crime, said Stetz. He noted that texting tips is targeted more at the younger generations. “It’s still not as popular, say, as picking up the phone and speaking to someone,” Stetz said, but it is building a following. Crime has changed, and

Money not behind tips

…continued from page A5 Another side effect of last year’s crime spree is an obvious change in people’s motivation for calling. “People aren’t interested in the financial reward anymore,” Stetz said. They’re calling because they want to clean up their neighbourhoods, communities, and areas of business, Stetz said. They want to enjoy a sense of security again, and know it’s a safe place to live and raise a family. That said, CrimeStoppers still offers a cash reward of up to $2,000 upon an arrest and charge, and the tipster is still “guaranteed anonymity.” In fact, the new slogan for CrimeStoppers is “You remain anonymous, criminals don’t.” It is NOT, Stetz emphasizes, a police program. The regional office is staffed by both police officers and highly trained civilian personnel who take tips and provide that information to investigators.

Township council

No task force on soils issue mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Township council will seek help from fellow politicians, but won’t create a task force to try and reform its soil dumping regulations. At Monday night’s council meeting, Councillor Kim Richter proposed the creation of a task force, including councillors and local citizens. “I think we need to pull all our resources together and start working in one direction in order to get a solution,” Richter said. However, a majority on the council wanted to move forward without the input of a task force. The council just received a briefing last week on ways to toughen their bylaws, said Coun. Bob Long.

“I think the task force will probably slow things down,” he said. The entire department at the Township that oversees soils has just been reorganized, said Coun. Charlie Fox. The new staff should have the opportunity to get up to speed before a task force is formed. He suggested that six to eight months from now, if a task force is still needed, he would support one. “Not a bad idea, I think it’s premature at this point,” Fox said. He also pointed out there will be a public hearing on any changes to soil deposit bylaws, giving citizens a chance to speak. While the plan to form a task force went down to defeat, the council did vote to talk to the Lower Mainland Local Goverment Association and with local MLAs, to lobby for changes to the regs.

Gang up to win Our reporters’ investigations for the stories that comprise most of today’s edition of the Langley Advance revealed that the criminal gang culture is a lot like a tobacco habit: it’s a lot easier to start than to quit, and in the end, your addiction may very well kill you. After last year’s open warfare on Lower Mainland streets, it’s been several months since there has been a gang-related murder in Langley. According to local authorities, it would be wrong to assume that it means gang violence has subsided. Indeed, some say, gang violence has actually increased since last year – it’s just that the gangsters have realized that it’s more effective to assault and maim their opponents than to kill them outright. If that adds a measure of doom and gloom to the darkness unveiled in our reports on the local gang culture in today’s paper, there’s also an upside. Significant resources are being thrown into the fight against gangs, and some very clever and dedicated people are working hard to diminish gangsters’ shadowy presence in our communities. Police and other authorities are figuring out what makes gangs tick, and how to battle them effectively. They are working with children at risk, to stem the gangs’ recruitment resources, and they are communicating effectively with local businesses to choke off their economic and social resources. The fight is far from over, but it can be won. As former Langley RCMP superintendent and now Operations Officer for the Lower Mainland Janice Armstong pointed out in her special report (see page A5), “At the end of the day, our gang (police, local government, and the public) will always be bigger than theirs.” With education, communication, and cooperation, the bigger “gang” will win. – B.G.

Mufford overpass

Rezoning dangerous to region

Dear Editor, Rezoning is being considered for the “east” corner of the Langley Bypass – Glover Road intersection, from A1 (Agricultural) zone to C2 (Service Commercial) zone [May 4 Public hearing notice, Langley Advance], and a Development Permit application (if approved) would result in a gas station there. This development follows

a recent one for the BMW dealer on the “west” corner. In the light of the continuing uncertainty of the Mufford Crescent overpass project, where the “Option J” alternative (in whatever form) is still alive and kicking (and in fact the current Township proposal has become much less likely to be approved than about a year ago), it is suggested

Response

Race horses more than meat

Dear Editor, The Langley Advance did an excellent job in bringing awareness to our cause [Horses, riders take to fashion catwalk, April 30, Langley Advance], and we appreciate the support. However, the article refers to “slaughter,” which might lead a reader to believe racehorses that do not go through our program are destined for meat. While some horses may fall through the cracks, the vast majority of thoroughbred owners take great care in finding new homes for their horses. New Stride was formed in order to facilitate owners who are unable to find homes on their own. Kim Inglis, New Stride Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation

that this gas station application is premature. If approved, its construction will put a straightjacket around options for the Mufford overpass, and will make any other improvements to the Langley Bypass/Glover Road intersection impossible. Everybody in the City and Township – and the region – should feel threatened. As the land is currently zoned agricultural, but not within the Agricultural Land Reserve (although quite close to it), the Agricultural Land Commission (still having the Township’s ALR exclusion application in hand for the Mufford overpass project as a “transportation corridor”) could perhaps intercede. Would it be possible to put a temporary moratorium on it, until the Mufford overpass has been finalized? Jacob de Raadt, Langley City

Line up some very serious sponsors with serious money. Show us how it might work. Even then, the society would have to convince the people of Langley that a race track is appropriate in what is now a wilderness park with environmentally sensitive wildlife – not to mention the opinions of the people who have moved into the area over the past 26 years since the track was closed. What would they think? I’m sorry, but it appears the society has far too many obstacles to move before their cause has any chance to achieve its objective. Clayton Randle, Langley

Fighting gangs

When it comes to gang activity in B.C., police have to pull out all the stops. One of the most effective strategies for police has been working in a much more integrated fashion, sharing intelligence and resources, with one goal in mind: protect the public, put the gangsters in jail, and do our best to educate and deter individuals from entering the gang lifestyle in the first place. These days, police are working closer together than ever. PRIME BC, our data management system, links all B.C. police, allowing us to identify and target criminal organizations more readily. So if a police officer in Langley checks some gangsters in a vehicle at a local bar in the afternoon, that information can be instantly shared with all B.C. police. That information could be used by Langley’s homicide team – the LMD Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) – to solve a gang homicide later that night. As a key partner in IHIT, the Langley RCMP detachment has access to 84 skilled police officers to tackle homicides. IHIT might then call upon Langley’s swat team – the LMD Emergency Response Team (ERT) – to execute a high-risk warrant to further their gang homicide investigation. As a part of LMD ERT, Langley detachment has access to 67 highly trained ERT officers. Members at Langley detachment also

RCMP chief superintendent Janice Armstrong noted that police are working closer together than ever to combat gang activity. work closely with other integrated provincial and federal teams to combat gang violence. Teams like the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) and CFSEU’s Gang Task Force, the Integrated Border Integrity Team, and the Drug and Organized Crime Awareness Service all work with the detachment to both detect and deter gang activity in the Langleys. Other key partnerships include local businesses, citizens, and mayors and councils. We’ve proven time and time again that, when we work together, when we stay connected, we are stronger. It’s going to take an integrated approach to keep our communities safe from gangsters. At the end of the day, our gang (police, local government, and the public) will always be bigger than theirs. – Chief Superintendent Janice Armstrong is Operations Officer for the Lower Mainland District. The Cloverdale resident is also the former officer in charge of Langley RCMP.

Open Letter to the Minister of Education, Dr. Margaret MacDiarmid, from the Langley Teachers’ Association May 5, 2010 Dear Minister MacDiarmid: We write to you on behalf of Langley teachers and students to request your immediate intervention in the Langley School District’s budget setting process. We have previously requested that the Ministry of Education ‘forgive’ the portion of the local debt created by the district’s accounting errors. This would ensure Langley’s most vulnerable students do not pay for the adults’ financial mistakes.

You have stated that your goal is to ‘focus K-12 operating funding where it is needed – for students in the classroom’ and have asked all public entities in the province to ‘continue looking at possible opportunities for administrative efficiencies.’ Due to the deficit in Langley caused by inefficiencies in budgeting, we find ourselves with vital student programs cut and far too many teachers surplussed. Students in Langley are being denied the same educational opportunities as students in other school districts in the Lower Mainland. By now, parents in Langley are well aware of the cutbacks and they will be wondering why your government has chosen to ignore them and their children. In Langley, we do not believe that the cuts proposed in the District’s ‘Program of Proposed Reductions for 2010-2011’ or the additional $750,000.00 in cuts announced on Monday, April 26th, are successful in meeting either of your stated goals. It is for this reason we ask once again for you to authorize a forensic audit in Langley - not to determine criminal wrongdoing - but to meet the goal of ensuring that a comprehensive and exhaustive independent audit is completed which will include mapping cash flow/cash transactions, identifying accounting errors and enumerating the total assets in operating, capital and special funds. The Langley community has made it clear to us at both the Dialogues on Debt that they are seeking transparency and full disclosure of the details regarding the financial practices in the Langley School District. The public deserves the opportunity to view and discuss the results of this comprehensive and exhaustive audit, covering the years 2005-2010, at a community forum with all partner groups in attendance. This would address issues of accountability, transparency and provide assurances that these kinds of accounting errors and the resulting devastating impact on students’ programs will not be repeated in the Langley School District. We remain available to meet to discuss resolutions to these crucial educational concerns and look forward to your response.

Protecting a person’s identity from theft is becoming increasing difficult, as criminals become more technologically savvy. That’s why it’s become even more important for people to literally destroy any old personal documents. “Don’t throw out old documents, shred them instead,” said Ashley Gray, a member of the Rotary Club of Langley Sunrise and this year’s Shredathon coordinator. The local service club wants to help make such efforts easier, by hosting its third annual Shredathon at the Langley Events Centre (LEC) early next month. The event was started by a Rotarian working in the accounting field. He would repeatedly be asked by his clients what should be done with old tax and financial documents. For security purposes, he would always recommend shredding. “It takes away the threat of identity theft,” Gray explained. The first community event was launched just after tax season three years ago, and has grown exponentially since. Even the Better Business Bureau (BBB) recently spoke out, advising people doing spring cleaning and taxes to make sure they properly shred any and all sensitive documents to avoid identity theft. This year’s Rotary Shredathon is being held on Saturday, May 8, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m in a new location at the LEC parking lot. Participants are encouraged to enter from 80th Avenue, on the northwest side of the complex. “Bring your old bank statements, legal documents and any other personal files you want destroyed and have them shredded on site,” Gray said. The cost is by donation, with a suggested contribution of $10 per box. All proceeds from this year’s event are going to support the heritage apple orchard at Derby Reach Park, Gray explained.

Big money in B.C. marijuana trade

Pot is a big business – for gangs, and for some legitimate firms on the edge of the drug world.

Friday, May 7th ONLY

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

One of B.C.’s biggest cash crops remains illegal, underground, and largely controlled by gangs. The marijuana trade in B.C. nets about $6 billion a year, and approximately 85 per cent of that trade is in the control of organized criminal gangs, according to police estimates. The trade spreads its tendrils into the economy in several ways, said RCMP Chief Supt. Janice Armstrong. Armstrong, a former head of the Langley detachment, who now oversees the Lower Mainland’s integrated policing teams, including the Integrated Gang Task Force. On the illegal side of the economic equation are the growers and the gangs. Armstrong noted that, as with street-level drug-dealing, gangs keep their members away from the actual grow operations most of the time. Low-level people are hired to grow the plants and keep an eye on the houses, industrial buildings, or barns where the pot is cultivated. The “babysitters” assume most of the risk, while the gangs reap most of the profits. Once grown, harvested, and packaged, the pot is sold locally, to other provinces, or smuggled into the United States. The danger to the growers is high, and not just from the police. Violent home invasions, known as “grow rips,” target the illegal farms. Violent gang members are often the perpetrators, said Sgt. Jason Wilde, head of the Langley RCMP Drug Section. It isn’t too hard to find a grow op in Langley, if you don’t have to worry about search warrants. “They do a lot of the same as anybody else; they smell it,” Wilde said. They also watch for properties that look like grow ops: windows sealed off, the property seemingly abandoned. In some cases, the gangsters may have inside knowledge. It isn’t uncommon for a gangster to work on a grow, switch sides, and rip it off later for easy money. Usually, the gangsters will burst in in the middle of the night, armed with guns. Violence is frequent. In a recent attempted grow rip in Langley, the resident of a grow op apparently tried to fight back against a group of invaders and was injured. Wilde said the excitement of armed invasion is a lure for some gangsters. “That’s why they choose that lifestyle, the action, the adrenaline,” Wilde said. On the legal side, grow ops impact landlords and real estate agents who have to clean up the mess afterwards [see story, page A17]. Those selling the hydroponic equipment and lights know who their customers are. • More online at www.langleyadvance.com, click on “New.”

Fighting gangs

Program keeps undesirables out of bars, clubs Police can be called if a patron is believed to be involved in a gang, or is intimidating others. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

A relatively new Fraser Valley bar watch program is keeping any obvious gang presence in local liquor establishments to a minimum. While the program called Upper Fraser Valley Bar Watch – which extends from Hope to Langley – was not intended to directly target gang members, that is a perk for some bar owners, said Langley RCMP Const. Jill Ewanyshyn. The bar watch committee is made up of liquor inspectors, bylaw enforcement, the local police, the integrated gang task

force, ICBC, municipal council representatives, and representatives from the liquor establishments. Participation by liquor establishments is not mandatory, but if operators don’t join and sign a letter of agreement, they cannot expect to turn to the police for help in removing questionable clientele – that is unless there’s a crime taking place, Ewanyshyn explained. Members of bar watch, however, can call police to remove anyone in the establishment who is believed to be involved in a gang or appears to be intimidating other patrons. This became an important issue for Langley operators – as well as area residents – after the rash of gang violence rocked the community in early 2009, the officer admitted. There was a degree of public hysteria that followed the murders and other

attacks, and Ewanyshyn said innocent people were fearful of being caught between the rival gangs. No law-abiding citizen wants or deserves to be put at risk, and possibly caught in the crossfire when an argument erupts and guns or other weapons are pulled out. Creation of the bar watch program, she said, is designed to help reduce that risk, while adding a component of education and promoting safe environments. There are a series of guidelines set down for participating bar watch venues. Among the rules, establishments must follow a dress code that stipulates no criminal or aggressive-style wear including gang colours. The bar watch program started a little

more than a year ago now, and gang members appear to be staying away from the participating Langley bars. “Gang members know they can be kicked out or asked to leave, so they don’t even bother,” Ewanyshyn said. Unfortunately, she added, it seems these affluent gang members are simply switching hangouts. They’re now patronizing local restaurants that have liquor licences. That’s left the committee scrambling to sign local restaurants which have been identified as popular spots for some gang members. • More online at: www.langleyadvance.com, click on “News”

Local company builds in Esquimalt

An Aldergrove firm will build a new medical structure for Canada’s military.

“This facility provides for additional space and resources required to provide first-class health care services to the Canadian Forces while also creating economic benefit in the area,” said Defense Minister Peter MacKay. This temporary medical facility will provide additional space and bridge care until the permanent Health Services Centre is complete. The military is updating its infrastructure and MacKay made the announcement about this contract Thursday.

Deanna Horn didn’t expect to find herself working near gangsters. The Langley real estate agent, who is also president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, took on the task of selling a suburban Abbotsford home recently. Unfortunately, it happened to be four doors away from the family home of the notorious Bacon Brothers. The Bacons – brothers Jonathan, Jarrod, and Jamie – are all accused gangsters, and police say they have links to the Red Scorpions. All three brothers are on trial for gun or drug crimes, and Jamie faces murder charges related to the Surrey Langley Advance file photos Six massacre.

CHURCH OF THE ASCENSION LANGLEY

Roberto Farina is still shocked – albeit pleasantly – by the furor of regional and national media attention Langley got when he had a gang expert out for dinner. RCMP Supt. Dan Malo spoke at the March meeting for the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce, educating local business people about several gangs active in Langley – and most other Lower Mainland communities. Malo was then officer in charge of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit Gang Task Force, and his candid presentation opened eyes to what is going on in Langley, said Farina, the chamber’s president. He “caused a stir” that has Farina smiling. “Knowledge is worth its weight in gold,” he said, at the April chamber meeting, where he announced a positive spinoff to Malo’s talk. The chamber has met with Langley RCMP Insp. Richard Konarski, and efforts are afoot to formalize a new communication system between police and businesses. Farina hopes to have an officer attend all future chamber dinners, where he’ll encourage business Roberto Farina owners and operators to offer up Chamber president tips and have frank discussions. Farina hopes both sides will glean more “intel” on organized crime and gang activity in Langley – including scams, break-ins, and robberies. “It’s very new and nothing’s set in stone,” said Farina, but he’s anxious for the efforts to take off. He sees it as a crucial issue for the community. He applauded the Langley Advance for taking a leadership role in educating the community about what’s currently going on here when it comes to gangs. “It’s all about being aware,” he said, wanting to educate the business community about what to report, when to call, and with whom to share potential tips. An involved business community is imperative to minimizing gang activity in Langley, Farina concluded.

A prolific group of local artisans offer up their annual show that is sure to appeal to fabric fanatics and lovers of textile arts.

his simple but powerful quilt started out as a request from a local organization that wanted a raffle quilt to raise funds for Olympic athletes. They made a request to the Langley Quilters’ Guild members, who quickly said yes, and 48 red maple leaf blocks on a white background were turned in at the next meeting, explained member Jean Jones. “I belong to the Langley Quilters’ Guild, a group of very busy quilters who have trouble saying ‘no’,” she said. The guild members make quilts for seniors, for kids fighting cancer, for at-risk newborns, for hospices and transition homes, for families of fallen soldiers,” Jones explained. “They give generously of their time, talent and precious fabric stashes. They also make quilts to celebrate births and graduations and weddings and “I belong to the Langley anniverQuilters’ Guild, a group of saries. very busy quilters who have These quilts trouble saying ‘no’.” become JEAN JONES expressions of sympathy and compassion, of love and caring, of joy and happiness.” It was Jones who volunteered to put the blocks together.

Mother’s Day Tea

Emmaline Newton offering finger food and fun at the fort Join the fort’s grand lady for some gossip and grub Sunday. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

YOB means something very different at the Fort Langley National Historic Site. The acronym in this case stands for Bring Your Own Bonnet and is the to do list for anyone planning to attend the Mother’s Day Tea this Sunday. Haven’t had time to do up this year’s spring bonnet? That’s okay. The national historic site will have supplies on-hand for attendees. Once suitably attired, those attending will enjoy the Mother’s Day Tea. People can book for seatings at either 1 p.m. or 2:30 p.m. The elegant after“Mrs. Newton would have noon tea, including cranberry scones, cherished the opportunity to cucumber-and-salhost an elegant tea…” mon sandwiches, TERESA CONKIN crème puffs, and chocolate-dipped strawberries, will be served al fresco on china settings. It’s on the lawns, but there are contingency plans in case of rain. Emmaline Newton, the wife of the Hudson Bay Company’s chief clerk in Lanlgey Billy Newton, will play hostess, and will regale people with tales of the fort, its social customs and the fashions of the day. Plus she will choose the winning bonnet. “Mrs. Newton would have cherished the opportunity to host an elegant tea, but she never had the chance. Hers was a lonely life, as there were no women of her culture and education living nearby,” said Teresa Conkin, the fort’s marketing manager. “Occasionally she would entertain officers visiting the fort on business, which she would do in the gentleman’s hall of the Big House.” Newton is portrayed by actress Nette Plante, who is well-versed in the site’s history. Fort Langley was established in 1827 as part of the Hudson’s Bay Company’s network of trading posts. During the Fraser River Gold Rush, the post provisioned thousands of miners headed to the goldfields. In response to the many Americans flooding into region, the British government

established the Crown Colony of British Columbia in 1858. Born in Canada but sent to England with her mother, Emmaline Jane Tod was raised by grandparents after her mother was institutionalized. At 20, she returned to Canada to find her father but it was not a happy time. He and his new family on Vancouver Island found no room for her. Billy Newton and Emmaline Jane Tod were married in 1859 on Vancouver Island and came to the fort shortly after, when he was transferred. Her life was not an easy one. “Emmaline Newton craved company with whom she could discuss fashion, politics, art or literature,” Conkin said. This is the second year for the Mother’s Day Tea. “Everyone last year had such a great time that we decided to do it again,” Conkin said. “We would like to make it an annual Mother’s Day tradition” Tickets are $20 for the public and $15 for those with passes.

Music

veryone in the Langley Community Chorus gets credit for the program of music they will be putting on this weekend. The local choir has a performance in Willoughby Saturday evening and another in Murrayville Sunday afternoon. Called Encore, the chorus’s annual spring show features a little of everything musically because the members themselves had a role in creating the program. “Brenda Wilson, our director, has now been with us for 10 years, and she gave the opportunity for all chorus

Questions & Answers

Camellias like steady shade Dear Anne,

“We have a 15-year-old mature camellia plant with healthy leaves. It gets lots of sun but its blossoms are not opening up fully like they used to. How can we get it blossoming fully?”

Owen Chan, Vancouver hen buds are healthy but don’t open fully, the condition is called ‘bullnosing.’ It’s caused when temperatures around the time of bud development and flowering are somewhat warmer than usual. The same effect can be caused by temperatures that fluctuate wildly from cold to hot in the budforming season. Camellias are sensitive to temperatures, and temperature changes can trigger them into growing vegetatively (producing new shoots, stalks, and leaves), and abandoning their flowers. Some camellia varieties (mainly older types) are more sensitive. Camellias don’t like lots of sun. They’re woodland plants that do best

in part shade. Heat radiated from a wall will increase the effect of high temperatures, and dryness from roof overhangs can be a problem. Camellias need lots of water, but they also need good drainage away from their roots. They also like lots of organic matter. A yearly mulch of compost, leaves, or Sea Soil can help. Dear Anne,

“I have had at least 25 tulips decapitated over several days. The stem is chewed through at varying heights, between two and five inches from the bloom. There is no visible damage to the leaves or fallen blossoms, so it’s unlikely children or dogs. No feeding has taken place.”

Robin Ripley, via email Double-flowered tulips are topheavy, and high winds can topple them. Deer often decapitate tulip flowers, but eat them. Racoons can be randomly destructive, but usually eat as well as shred. Once, in nest-building season, I was stunned to see a robin fly past PR

the kitchen window with a primrose in its beak. But tulips are pretty hefty flowers, and not flexible enough for nests. Some research revealed that other gardeners have the same problem – including one who saw a squirrel decapitating tulips. Rats also get blamed. Are there marks of little teeth on the “chewed” stems? Or tiny footprints on the soil? Maybe some evil-smelling repellent would protect your tulips, or a spray of cayenne pepper or sudsy ammonia will help (both need renewal after rain). Try putting something on the ground which four-footed creatures wouldn’t like to walk on – wire or thorny stems or prickly leaves. Perhaps a temporary netting surround might help. Most furry creatures might be scared away by a motion-detector-triggered water spray. Lee Valley Tools sells such a ‘Scarecrow’ device. It’s an expensive way to protect tulips alone, but if you have other critter problems, too, it could be worthwhile.

Men tackle music of the globe

A choir started by Welshmen will showcase Canada’s diversity in a show mid-May. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

usical selections from Canada, Europe and Asia are presented by the Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir when it performs here May 15. The choir has partnered with the Langley Arts

Photo contributed

The Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir will perform in Langley May 14. Council and the Langley International Festivals to celebrate Canadian diversity on the show entitled Music of the Nations. The international festival runs Aug. 28 and 29 so this concert, which starts at 7:30 p.m., offers a musical trip to other places and cultures. The choir was founded

in 1980 with a handful of expatriate Welshmen and has grown into a 100-voice group with all cultures. Tickets are $22 for adults or $18 for seniors and students, and at the Langley Visitors Centre (in the Langley Events Centre). The show is in the Christian Life Assembly, 21277 56th Ave.

Summer events

Jazz festival planners scrambling

he future of the Langley Jazz Festival has been uncertain this year. First were issues with funding by the key sponsor, Envision Financial. It has time limits on how long it provides funding for events and had supported the festival for a few years. Organizers were expected to have to cancel this year with the loss of funding but Envision came through with a smaller contribution that would allow for a condensed festival. Organizer Omer Mahmood said the festival has had a budget of about $15,000 but it would be about $5,000 this year. He and the organizing committee are in

05075993

the process of determining how to hold a modified event. Then another wrinkle. Organizers have to figure out whether they can have the Douglas Park Spirit Square bandshell in light of amendments to Langley City’s usage rules. Mahmood said organizers are being “inundated” with inquiries about this year’s festival and will keep the community informed as soon as possible. The festival takes place on the first Saturday of June, which would make it June 5 this year, if all the planning issues can be resolved.

‘No direct link’ between gangs Franks WFDA’s top gun and MMA, says RCMP’s Kirk The Aldergrove resident won the all-around women’s title for the 10th year in a row.

February 2009: Kevin Robert LeClair, a 26-year-old Surrey man, died in hospital, two days after being hit by a hail of bullets outside a Walnut Grove Marketplace IGA [Shooting shocks Grove, Feb. 10, 2009, Langley Advance]. LeClair was a former mixed martial arts fighter who, in 2005 and 2006, fought at least three matches. March 2010: an MMA trade show scheduled to take place in Abbotsford was forced to move after police expressed concern about potential gang violence. “After some discussion, we decided this wasn’t a good fit for the City of Abbotsford. We are absolutely focused on making our city as inhospitable as possible to the gang element. We want to make certain that message is delivered consistently and with singular clarity,” Abbotsford Mayor George Peary said. “Our perception is that these events tend to attract people related to, with affiliations to, hangers-on, and followers of the gangs.” According to the Vancouver Sun, Abbotsford members of the Red Scorpions, United Nations gang and the Independent Soldiers have participated in MMA fights. Peary pointed to the October 2008 gangland murder of Joe Krantz, who ran an MMA gym in Abbotsford. Meanwhile, Vancouver city council members were initially hesitant to allow a potential Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event

Despite these examples, there is no direct link between gangs and MMA, according to RCMP Integrated Gang Task Force spokesperson Sgt. Shinder Kirk. “Do we know individuals

[gang members] who attend these events? Absolutely,” Kirk said. “But it is no different than any other sporting event. Our officers know gang members go to any manner of sporting event.” Kirk said the current battle against gang activity and organized crime has heightened police’s awareness of gang members who attend MMA competitions, “or any other kind of event for that matter.”

it, you can’t necessarily walk away,” Wilde explained. Although people can’t walk away from the gang life once they’ve gotten into it, many runners and managers and even gang members and affiliates will suddenly switch their allegiance from one gang to another. “The loyalty is to the money,” Wilde said.

Wilde said there really isn’t a single figure at the top of most gangs – not a single person who runs everyone below him. “Everybody has a boss,” a source in the gang world once told Wilde.

Wilde couldn’t talk about the murder investigation, being handled by IHIT, but he said Lamoureux was a very low-level cog in the local drug business. After an arrest or robbery, the problems for the street-level dealer only get worse. Wilde recalls a case his unit investigated last year. Dealers who were arrested or robbed were actually being beaten by their own bosses. The runners are expected to pay back anything they lose, often with a “tax” on top of that. Most runners never move up, and many start using their own product. “That usually turns bad for them,” Wilde said. Shortages resulting from runners using the drugs they have for sale can lead to shortfalls, which result in beatings and “taxes.” Those overseeing the runners are known as managers. Managers are more closely tied to specific gangs such as the UN, the Red Scorpions, or the Independent Soldiers. Above the managers are the true core gang members.

May we live up to your legacy, Mom. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favourite charity.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reﬂections

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

May 9 - 15

Aries March 21 - April 19: Continue to chase money.You can start new projects lateTuesday onward, especially in earnings, possessions, rote learning and sensual gratification. You’re raring to go Sunday eve into Tuesday – your energy and charisma will surge upward. But this might be slightly too soon, unless you’re charging in to fix a past matter. (Still, take care Sunday – Monday’s far better. A hint: the matter you fix or correct involves your own past actions and/or a romance or creative project.) Communications or short trips succeed very nicely Friday/Saturday! A big chore will complete by late July.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Someone who cares about you will “come through” now (or did last week). Recent delays end Tuesday. Career or business ideas/urges that come to you early week will help solve an ongoing problem, but new ideas might fail – wait for June’s inspiration.Your hopes and popularity soar Wednesday/ Thursday – happiness blesses you! A new friendship or love might begin, but if it starts Wednesday, it has money and status difﬁculties. Retreat, rest and contemplate Friday/Saturday. This summer will bring huge new career/status and domestic events: reading, talking now will “prepare” you.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Partnership urges ﬁnd fertile ground Sunday to Tuesday – but it’s uncertain whether a relationship formed would last, or fall prey to future indecision. If you take a consequential step Wednesday or before mid-morning Thursday, it could prevent partnership, marriage or a contractual agreement. After this, all’s good. Recent delays end Tuesday, especially in legal, valuation, investment, sexual, commitment, health and lifestyle areas. You might make a decision you’ve been mulling over for a long time. Foreign travel, law, education, publishing, culture arise late week – love, too!

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Romance, creativity, a general “lucky touch” – these continue all week – and even better, the delays and indecision that have marked this area end now (technically, Tuesday afternoon). A new romance (creative project, etc.) might begin now, perhaps mid-week – one that starts after Thursday morning is better than one that begins earlier. Sunday morning’s happy, but use this eve through Tuesday to rest, gather your energies – and to work on security or domestic problems – Monday might bring a big solution here! Intimacy, commitment, an investment might lure you Friday/Saturday: careful!

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy and magnetism remain high and now, at last, you can apply them to forward-going projects. Rest and think Sunday eve through Tuesday. Think especially about property, family and security matters – you might gain an insight Monday (or as you wake Tuesday morn) into solving a problem or friction in these zones. (Solutions will “take effect” in four weeks.) Wednesday onward, contemplate no longer – act! Love, partners, cooperators respond well Wednesday morning. Use the p.m. to prune or “edit” extraneous material. Chase money Friday/Saturday – keep it short term.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Recent delays end in career and business areas, although they remain in legal, international and intellectual zones. (Sunday-Tuesday shows this.) The courage, the impulsiveness, and the anger – and the sensual magnetism – you’ve possessed since last autumn will dissipate soon (early June) so if you’re going to make war or love, better hurry! By June, you’ll morph into a mere reasonable, money-hungry mortal. Be ambitious Wednesday/ Thursday – in an odd way, ambition is your salvation now. Happiness comes Friday/Saturday – ﬂirtations, friends arrive. Hopes are prescient.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Tackle old chores Sunday eve to Tuesday. This is your opportunity to really clean up an ongoing mess in your life, especially Monday. Relationships remain your primary concern all week – delays and indecision end here now. However, if you charge into a new bond (or sign a contract, etc.) before Thursday noon, it could interfere with your work or health. Act after this. Mysteries, secrets, research, the occult, deep attractions, intimacy, heavy ﬁnances, debts and investments arise Friday/Saturday. All’s smooth here, but the long-range future could hold a disappointment: be slow to commit!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Early this week, a talk or e-mail can solve a long-standing “war” with another – Monday especially, all day! If there is no enemy, or no competitive struggle, then there might be a long-standing attraction. Again, Monday’s communication beneﬁts this! Recent delays end Tuesday, especially in home, security, realty and similar zones. (But be patient: act after Thursday morning, not before.) Rest, recuperate, Wednesday/ Thursday. Your mood lifts mildly Friday/Saturday as you begin to notice beauty, begin to sense romance. But be a bit skeptical of romance, until late July.

Gemini May 21-June 20: You can see how the future intertwines with your past, Sunday to Tuesday. Many Geminis are virtual hermits now, after more than a decade of relationship struggles. You might as well remain one, for 2010 favours career and business advancement, and your best relationships will be with bosses, VIPs, kids and parents. You’ll get a wee shot of ﬂirty happiness June to September, then the oyster of love clams up on you again. In 2011, January to June, your popularity and optimism will soar, and light romance will please! For now, remain hopeful yet skeptical. You’ll succeed late week!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Delays end Tuesday, especially in intellectual, educational, publishing, legal, cultural, travel and love zones. A sexual attraction (which might arise early week) is a thing of your past, not your future. The same might be said of an investment or large ﬁnancial action. Either act decisively Monday, or let it go. Those intellectual, educational (et al) things arise very successfully Wednesday/Thursday, as long as you aren’t sporting an Achilles heel – e.g., have something to hide, or are carrying around a crime like a leather bag of rocks. Be ambitious Friday/Saturday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Romantic, speculative (gambling) and creative urges arrive Sunday eve through Tuesday – enjoy the beauty, and Monday’s sweet success! Tackle chores all week, especially Wednesday/Thursday. Soon (late next week) you’ll enter an opportunity-laden time – you’ll need to be “light” then, not weighed down by unfinished business, tasks, etc. Relationships flow smoothly enough Friday/Saturday, but it’s not a good time (actually, not good right to late July) to commit to a long-term bond, marry, form a partnership, etc. It’s a fine time to make a work-money agreement, though.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: You can take a bold, successful money-work step – or solve an important money-work problem – early week (especially Monday). It somehow involves the last six or seven months. Delays and indecision end in communications and travel matters mid-week. A new travel, paperwork, mail or e-mail project could begin now – Thursday’s best (after 9 a.m. PDT, after noon EDT). Settle into home, family, a restful stance Friday/Saturday – all’s ﬁne, it’s a good time for gardening, etc. But don’t take on or start big things (renovations, buying a home, etc.) before late July – disappointment lurks in these. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
