A 50-year-old Langley man suffered serious injuries after a large sewage truck smashed into him during the Thursday morning commute. The rider, wearing a helmet and reflective vest, was heading west on 50th Avenue. Near the corner of 196B Street, a truck apparently turned into the rider’s lane, and the rider hit the front of the vehicle. The rider suffered head and chest injuries, said Sgt. Tom James, speaking for the Langley RCMP. “We know that he had some breathing issues, and the helmet was totally destroyed,” James said. An Air Ambulance landed on the field at the nearby Nicomekl Elementary, and the man was transported from there to a trauma hospital. After the crash, RCMP interviewed the truck’s driver, and accident investigators came out to study the scene. The bike, the crushed helmet, and the man’s reflective vest lay

It remains a mystery whether a beating caused the death of a Fort Langley resident. by Matthew Claxton A man badly beaten by a home invader on April 6 has died, but police can’t yet say whether the attacker will be charged with murder. The victim was attacked in his home in the 23000 block of 96th Avenue in Fort Langley on April 6. He was taken to hospital and released, but was later re-admitted for further treatment, the Langley RCMP said.

next to bloody rags left behind by paramedics. Neighbours who lived directly across the street said the man’s face was covered with blood. The victim was still and apparently unconscious immediately after the crash, but within a few minutes he was trying to move. “I took a couple of blankets out there to cover him,” said one neighbour, who asked not to be named. James said no charges have

been laid yet, as the investigation is still underway. However, it appears so far that the rider was obeying the traffic laws. “He was riding in the proper lane,” James said. Investigators will look into whether the angle of the early morning sun may have been a factor. The rider’s bike was a high performance street model, and James noted they can move at a

Police are also investigating a hit and run in Murrayville on March 12 in which a vehicle actually ran over a man’s torso. He survived and managed to make his way to a nearby store to get help.

When or how the man died has not been released. Matthew Sherwin, 23, faces a charge of aggravated assault, as well as several lesser charges, in connection with the initial home invasion. The B.C. Coroner’s Service is currently crafting its report on the cause of the victim’s death, said Sgt. Tom James, a spokesperson for the local RCMP. “Until the coroner’s report comes through with the cause of death, that determines whether charges will be changed,” said James. It isn’t known if the beating caused the man’s death, or if it was caused by a pre-existing medical condition.

James said he didn’t know when the coroner’s report will be completed and handed over. Once it is, it will be up to Crown prosecutors to make the call on whether charges will be upgraded from aggravated assault. Neil MacKenzie of the provincial Crown Counsel’s Office said it isn’t unusual for charges to be upgraded, dropped, or changed as new information becomes available. It also isn’t unheard of for victims of violence to die after lesser charges have already been laid, prompting changes. The initial incident involved a violent struggle between the suspect and police.

Officers responding to a call about a break in heard a violent fracas going on inside the Fort home. A man armed with a bat came out the back door. When police ordered him to put down his weapon, he dropped the bat but threw a large sheathed knife at an officer. It took four officers to pin and cuff the suspect. In addition to aggravated assault, Sherwin was charged with assault with intent to resist arrest, breaking and entering, and possession of stolen property. He has been held in custody since his arrest. He appears in court next on Monday, May 17.

Public tips crucial

The head of serious crimes in Langley said police don’t mind if tips are anonymous, because it’s imperative for officers to gather as much intelligence as possible if they hope quell serious gang activity in this community. There’s a lot of people out there who know about serious crimes happening on the streets, in homes, and in businesses within Langley – whether murders and beatings, drug labs and home invasions, or kidnapping and credit card factories.

Overpass fate likely decided this summer Is it finally time for a final decision on the Mufford-Glover interchange? by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

It looks like a decision on the long-delayed Mufford-Glover overpass might come from the Agricultural Land Commission this summer. The ALC has now received every bit of information it has requested about the project, ALC

executive director Colin Fry confirmed this week. He expected staff will finish organizing for presentation to commissioners it in early June. Fry said the ALC may seek public input, or may meet with the local agricultural community, the Township, or no one, before deciding the fate of the plan by allowing land to be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve, or keeping it rural. The last time the ALC was asked, it said a decision could be made in February or March. The controversial overpass

project is to create a new road link connecting 64th Avenue eastwest across the rail tracks and Highway 10/Glover Road, connecting to 216th Street. The plan was fiercely opposed by a number of Mufford-area residents, especially farmers who objected to paving 29 acres of farmland, a majority on Township council supported the project. The Township’s partners in the $51 million overpass project include rail lines, provincial and federal governments, and other agencies. The Township’s share of the costs is $9 million.

Homicide investigators are looking for a mystery woman who spoke to the suspect in a Remembrance Day murder. Police say that on Nov. 11, the suspect drove away from the burning shell of the home he had shared with his wife and their two children. The children were fine, but the man’s wife was dead. Her body was found by firefighters responding to the blaze, but her death was later determined to be a homicide. The name of the deceased and the suspect are now the subject of a courtordered publication ban. The husband is charged with second degree murder in his wife’s killing. After the murder, police say the husband drove to Langley, where he entered St. Joseph’s Catholic Church. The members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team now want to talk to the first person their suspect spoke to in the church, said unit spokesperson Cpl. Dale Carr. The woman briefly spoke to the suspect, and she alerted Father Alba-Infante. The suspect soon after that called police, and they arrested him there. The woman is described as between 5’8” and 6’ tall, between 40 and 45 years old, with a thin build and well dressed, Carr said. Anyone who can help police identify the woman should call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448). To remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222TIPS. Anonymity is guaranteed.

How should the Langley Regional Airport be run? Township council grappled with the question for some time at Monday afternoon’s special meeting, without coming to a final decision. Currently, the airport is run under contract by a manager who reports to the Township’s administrator, Mark Bakken. However, Mayor Rick Green campaigned on reforming the management structure, and Councillor Kim Richter has been pushing for change there for several years. A suggested new management structure would keep the manager’s position, but the manager would report to a new Airport Commission made up of the mayor, a council member, the administrator, and two members of the public with a business background. At first, Coun. Charlie Fox suggested the entire idea be delayed until the council could hear a presentation on why the new plan would be a better model of governance. That idea was defeated in a four-tofour tie vote. After that, Fox suggested a change to the plan, replacing the mayor and councillor on the commission with simply two councillors. While the change passed, with Coun. Mel Kositsky opposed, the newly altered plan was then defeated on a tie vote. Green, who had been pushing for the

change, was not present due to a family emergency. If he had been present, it is likely that the amended version of the plan would have passed. Green said he likely will revisit the idea, but not right away. First he wants to talk to the councillors about their concerns and any issues they might have with the plan. “It’s not about changing the direct management of the airport,” Green said. While most of the council has been supportive of the way the airport is run, Richter has raised the issue of rental fees there several times. The airport leases land to a number of businesses, including flight schools, helicopter repair shops, and Harbour Air. Richter has pushed for the lease rates to be raised, so they match the average rate for industrial lands. However, the rest of council has generally wanted to stick with the lower rates, which Township staff say match the lease rates at other small to medium sized local airports. “I think we need to drive it more as an economic engine,” Richter said. Current manager George Miller, who runs the airport with his son Guy, noted the airport is still profitable, and operates without any financial subsidy from the Township. “It probably leads all community airports in terms of revenue over expenses,” Miller said. New paved and grass runways are currently being finished, and the Northside development of new hangars along 56th Avenue is partially completed. The largest new building at the airport may break ground soon, Miller said. The current airport management contract with the Millers runs out on the last day of 2012.

Only safety wins We have come into that time of year when bicycles are brought out of basements and back rooms and garages, and hit the streets in increasing numbers. Unfortunately, it’s also the time of year when increasing numbers of cyclists come out on the short end of encounters between bicycles and motor vehicles. We highly recommend Mr. John Evanochko’s letter to the editor, on page A9 of today’s edition, to both cyclists and motorists who, like it or not, will be sharing the roads with each other over the next few months (and beyond). And then take a good look at our front page photo – the scene of the accident that sparked Mr. Evanochko’s eloquent plea for reason. As he points out, any physical contact between cyclist and motor vehicle, however fleeting, will almost certainly have dire consequences for the cyclist. But we would disagree somewhat with Mr. Evanochko on two points. He notes, “Regardless of fault, the automobile/truck in a bicycle/cyclist accident always wins.” But we would contend that in any such encounter – indeed, in any collision or mishap that results in injury or damage – there are no winners. A car or truck driver may not suffer broken bones or lacerations when – regardless of which party is at fault – a cyclist is hurt or killed by their hand, but the emotional scars will very real, and can last a lifetime. And we’re not at all sure that “cyclists all get tarred with the same brush by many motorists,” so much that the problem lies with motorists – and cyclists – who have allowed themselves to remain ignorant of the dangers. For too many people the “right” to use the roads seems to trump their responsibility to others who use those same facilities with them. Mr. Evanochko has offered a stern and emotional warning that all users of the roads would do well to heed – for life. – B.G.

ways; motor vehicles following too closely, impatiently squeezing past a cyclist instead of slowing down and waiting a few seconds for a safer opportunity to pass; cutting off a cyclist on turns. Such near misses are a fact of life for cyclists, who despite the risk, engage in an activity that is contributing not only to a reduction of their carbon footprint, but (apart from the risk of an accident) a healthier lifestyle. A simple tap by a two-tonne automobile or a clip from a truck mirror, and I’m down on the ground, hard, and if not run over, then facing a possible broken collarbone or hip. Nor are the cyclists blameless, riding on the wrong side of the road, failing to signal their turns, wearing dark clothing, having no flashing lights, and popping in and out of parked cars, with no mirrors to pay attention to traffic behind them. They are not the majority of cyclists, but cyclists all get tarred with the same brush by many motorists, who then treat all of us as renegades. The weather is improving, bringing out more fair weather cyclists, whether commuters or recreational riders. This is the second bicycle/vehicle accident in Langley in the same number of weeks, and if both parties do not start paying better attention to each other, and truly sharing the road, we will be hearing about more.

Farmland lost in metro vote

Dear Editor, It is important for voters to know how our local elected representatives act when they think they are beyond the view of their local voters. Decisions that affect sustainability throughout the region are made at Metro Vancouver board meetings. On March 26, barely more than a year after the board (in pre-election mode) voted to keep Maple Ridge’s historic Jackson Farm in the Metro Vancouver Green Zone, Maple Ridge put it back on the agenda. Mayor Rick Green of Langley Township (who ran on a platform of preserving farmland) and Gayle Martin of Langley City both voted in favour of developing this historic farmland.

two days after the election. He must have thought B.C. voters were stupid. He is in for a real surprise, just like Brian Mulroney was when he thought he could slip in the GST. The B.C. HST is a massive tax-transfer (more than 18 hundred million dollars per year) from large corporations onto the general public. It has to be resisted on grounds of fairness – the same argument for graduated income tax: those who can afford to pay the most tax are taxed at the highest rate. Any form of flat tax is grossly unfair to the vast majority of B.C. citizens who have difficulty surviving in today’s economy. When B.C. controls its own tax destiny, as it does with the PST, political pressure can be brought to bear to exclude certain items, like rents or movies, while other luxury items only affordable to the wealthy, like meals over $100, can be taxed at much higher rates. B.C. citizens have a unique opportunity to demonstrate the power of democracy. Please sign the Anti-HST petition. Dr. H. Spencer, Aldergrove [Note: A fuller version of this letter and others on the same topic are online at www.langleyadvance.com.]

services. More than 80 per cent of B.C.’s economy consists of B.C. citizens and companies providing goods and services to each other, so the HST will send more real cash to Ottawa. Most of us are concerned with how much items cost that we buy every day, and how much income we receive each month. Economic abstractions like productivity and capital investments are smokescreens. The vast majority of B.C.’s people are more concerned about how much of the pie they each end up with, not how big the pie is. If there were genuine benefits for all of B.C., why did Premier Gordon Campbell not make this taxchange the heart of his last election campaign? Instead, he claims he thought of it

Dear Editor, Hugh Alley’s points [Four reasons to support HST, May 11 Letters, Langley Advance] were typical of recent commentary by economists and other friends of Big Business. They consist of vague generalities, unfounded estimates, and hopeful expectations, while all the proponents avoid the central issue: fairness. The estimated savings in administration vary from $50 million to Mr. Alley’s $140 million. Even this is mostly a payroll transfer to federal employees, instead of B.C. government employees, where their pay would re-circulate back into B.C. B.C. exporters (mainly foreign-owned) will certainly have their profits improved. Unlike PST, the HST taxes

Dear Editor, This morning, on my thrice weekly bicycle ride, I came across a sobering scene: a crumpled, saddle-bagged bicycle; a bike helmet and safety vest on the ground and a single running shoe with a blood-stained cloth nearby; a large, industrial truck, its operators sitting on the curb, faces dejected; RCMP cars, strobe lights flashing, officers directing traffic. The ambulance had been and gone, hopefully with the patient on his or her way to a full recovery, to ride again [see Air ambulance called to crash, on today’s front page]. What happened here? What was the cause of the accident? Regardless of fault, the automobile/truck in a bicycle/cyclist accident always wins. Was it my friend who lives in the area and commutes to work? He showed up a few minutes later, and although relieved it was not him, I’m still sick to my stomach, because even if I don’t know the cyclist personally, he or she is still my neighbour, a friend in the cycling fraternity, a fellow human being who has chosen to cycle, whether it was on the way to work, to run errands, or simply to play. My initial shock turned to anger and then to a resolve to do something about this – to raise public awareness regarding the need for cyclists and motorists to better co-exist in Langley. I know the hazards the cyclist faces daily: narrow or no shoulders on the road-

Extreme Home Repair

Business help key to annual aid The Acts of Kindness team is still hoping local companies or individuals can come through for this year’s home makeover.

This is the first time that Mimi Pelton of Abbotsford has participated in the Seventh Day Adventist church’s annual Extreme Home Repair, but Bill Fogarasi has participated in three past Extreme Home Repairs.

Demolition begins today. Floors are coming up, cabinets are coming down, windows are coming out, and the bathroom in Karen Weeks’ home is being completely gutted. But that’s only the beginning of a 10-day Extreme Home Repair being performed on Weeks’ Aldergrove home by a team of about 75 volunteers.

For the next 10 days, the Weeks family members (Karen and her children, Josh, Alex, Jesse, and Paige) have been banished from their home and even the neighbourhood. They’re each staying with friends or family much of the time, before taking off to Whistler for a donated vacation on the Victoria Day long weekend leading up to the reveal. Typically half the Extreme Home Repair volunteers come from within the church congregation, while the other half are kind-hearted members of the community who want to help. Brownmiller has lots of willing volunteers lined up, but he’s hoping to hear from a few qualified trades might still come forward to help out. The AOK team expect to reveal the transformed home to the Weeks family late in the afternoon on Monday, May 24. “I’m confident were going to pull it all off,” Brownmiller said, noting a list of still-needed supplies and skilled labourers will be updated frequently on the church’s website at: www.aldergrovesda.org.

Driving through the east of Langley this week, I could tell spring has arrived. Besides the few remaining cherry blossoms and the obvious migration of seasonal birds (like the beloved hummingbirds) that are flocking to our community, I couldn’t escape some of the sounds synonymous with spring. The past few nights I’ve heard the dreaded buzz of mosquitoes. That’s added to the drone of power tools used in all the residential construction and road upgrades and repairs going on. And of course, one can’t miss the onslaught of lawn mower noises obvious in almost every neighbourhood. But for me, one of the sure-fire indicators of spring is all of the “for sale” signs that have popped up in front of homes and businesses in the past few weeks. Among the for sale signs I’m happiest to see is the one at the corner of 264th Street and Fraser Highway. That unsightly southeast corner, once home to Husky and the Burger King, does a horrible disservice in welcoming people to the Aldergrove community. I’m anxious to see that site snapped up and redeveloped soon. Join me in crossing your fingers on that one. My visit to the hamlet Wednesday also turned up a few new eateries in the commercial core. One, in particular, I’ll turn the spotlight on today is Azul. This new facility opened a few months back, at the intersection of 270th Street and Fraser Highway. Now I know this site has been home to a few different restaurants over the years – the most recent being Cactus Jack’s Cookhouse. But Richard and Jennifer Sayo have pretty much gutted the place

Signs of spring abound out east and reopened it as a restaurant and lounge featuring steaks, ribs, and pasta. Being dubbed as a new place to eat, drink, and hang out, the big plasma screens strategically located around the establishment are making it a popular place to watch sporting events, and the Sayos have also – maybe a little less frequently – added live entertainment to the mix, in hopes of enticing new visitors. If you’ve been there already, go to my blog and let others and myself know what you think.

Warawa talks housing

Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has a few interesting events on the calendar for this month.

Credit union staff honoured The Aldergrove Credit Union had two reasons to celebrate: a grand opening and an award for fundraising. by Roxanne Hooper

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Upwards of 500 people showed up to the newest Aldergrove Credit Union’s opening ceremonies on Saturday. “We had an amazing grand opening…” said marketing manager Bobby Dhillon, speaking of the official grand opening celebration held May 8 at the new Otter branch of 248th Street. “We had approximately 400-500 people come through over the four hours. It was a great day,” Dhillon told the Langley Advance. “We are extremely happy to be at our

new location and wanted to celebrate with the whole community,” said ACU CEO Gus Hartl. In addition to the community ceremony, all five branches of the ACU were celebrating some other news this past weekend. In 2009, the staff raised more than $11,300 for the United Way organizations in both the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley regions. On Friday it was announced that the efforts earned the credit union an award. Not only is the staff proud of its contribution to the community causes of the United Way, but the Fraser Valley arm nominated the ACU’s Matsqui community branch for its Quantum Leap Spirit Award, and bestowed on ACU a First Time Campaign Spirit Award. “Aldergrove Credit Union truly is a community credit union,” Hartl said.

he Fort Langley Artists Group has its latest show In the Bag. The show centres on the bag theme but it is open to interpretation by each artist. Julie Bourne went multi-media, making a clay purse that’s decorated with her own glass beads. “If you step out of your box and try something different, it’s fun,” she said. “I never would have come up with this if not for In the Bag.” FLAG members brainstorm about the themes of their shows. Some felt they had to fight their way out of a bag but eventually creativity won out and many came up with unique projects. “You kind of explore as you go,” she said. For her that includes making raku and incorporating human hair into her masks that are on display. Catch the Spring 2010 exhibition in the heritage train station in Fort Langley from May 15 to June 27. The opening reception is noon to 4 p.m. on May 16.

son) had lived in North Bend, B.C., and collected most of the baskets during her time there.” When former museum curator Lisa Codd discovered a basket from the Pearson Collection in a 1938 photograph of a basket maker and her baskets, it sparked a new research direction that led to the identification of other baskets in the photo. It also attracted the participation of researchers in Lytton and Victoria, augmented by research begun by a provincial government expert. A key component of the project has been researching the makers and history of the pieces because so often that information has been lost or simply passed on orally. One example is the basket in Interwoven that came to the museum around 1959 as part of the collection. Turns out it was used as evidence in a murder trial in Merritt about 30 years before it was given to the museum. “Only later did we find out,” Howard said. Woven items, made from ma-

The show must go on… the Massey stage

Langley Secondary art is in the spotlight. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

angley Secondary students, about 200 in all, will be in the spotlight when they take to the stage of the Massey Theatre May 19. The cabaret-style show called It’s Showtime brings together all the arts in schools. The students have a chance to show their stuff in front of family and friends but also in front of the public – a rare opportunity to perform in a large, professional theatre. As teacher Patti Thorpe summed up: “a big change from our usual school gymnasium.” The show will include performances by the school’s concert and jazz bands, concert choir and vocal jazz, musical theatre company, drama classes and dance classes. But there’s more. Student films will be shown, and the Massey gallery and lobby will be filled with visual art by many students. The school was lucky enough to be chosen this year as part of the Massey’s community access program. And if recent successes are any indication, the audiences will not be disappointed. The senior jazz band won gold at the Kiwanis Music Festival and earned the right to go to the nationals.

LSS students also did well at the recent Shine Dance Festival. Thorpe and fellow teachers Chad Hendricks, Kathleen Gilbert, Mark Follett, Sally Rees, and Gord Grant are overseeing the show in New Westminster. It starts at 7:30 p.m. “It’s Showtime will be an inspiring and fun evening for all ages. We look forward to seeing you at the theatre,” Thorpe said. The theatre is at 735 8th Ave. Tickets for the show, at a reasonable $10 apiece, can be had by contacting the Massey Theatre (www.masseytheatre. com). In addition to regular fine arts classes, Langley Secondary School offers an Intensive Fine Arts program for

those students who wish to work at a more challenging level. The intensive program gives these students the opportunity to share classes with other students with similar artistic interests, to gain a deeper experience in their chosen métier, and to cover more material over the course of a year. They must study in more than one fine arts area, so they develop breadth in their arts knowledge, Thorpe said. In addition to these offerings, Langley Secondary School also offers a course in musical theatre, collaboratively taught by four teachers, which puts on an annual musical. This year the production was Bye Bye Birdie.

Arts in brief

Come for coffee

talian pianist Francesco Nicolosi is coming for coffee today (May 14). He performs for the Cafe Classico concert series at the Langley Community Music School’s Rose Gellert Hall in a show called Transcriptions and Fantasies. “We look forward to hosting one of the most distinguished pianists of the Italian tradition to the Rose Gellert Hall,” said Elizabeth Bergmann, the school’s co-artistic director. “This artist is presenting the stunning works of the much celebrated 19th century piano virtuoso Sigismund Thalberg, second only to his infamous rival Franz Liszt.” As president of the Sigismund Thalberg International Study Centre, he has developed an intense work of search and revaluation of the music of the legendary Austrian pianist, of which today he is, thanks also to the numerous recordings, the only recognized interpreter in the world, she noted. This marks the final Cafe Classico concert of the season as the school moves into summer mode. The cafe will be served at 10 a.m. when people have a chance to also hear commentary on the music. The concert begins at 11 a.m. For more visit www.langleymusic.com. Tickets are available at the box office, 604534-2848, for $15 adults, $13 seniors, and $10 students.

Evening promises variety

ickets are going quickly for Vancouver’s Independent Music Showcase, the entertainment event coming up May 29 at the Chief Sepass Theatre.

“The rabbit hole itself is open to the audience’s interpretation.” explained director Alaina Holland.” Martini and Mary Renvell, who plays her mother, are from Langley. “One thing all humanity has in common is dealing with the loss of the people we love,” observed Renvall. “Through the process of exploring the scenes, these characters and this plot, we have enriched our lives by sharing our own experiences with loss. It has allowed us to connect on a personal level as friends and on stage with our characters.

ne in six couples who want children can’t conceive. Behind the statistics, the issue of being able to have children is deeply personal and fraught with emotion. But it’s an area from which a local artist has not shied. The Fort Gallery is opening its newest show, Inconceivable, May 19. Terry Nurmi, a member of the artists’ run gallery, has delved into this sensitive topic and her paintings and multi-media pieces are on exhibit, one that is sure to elicit strong emotion. “I feel that for some it may be quite controversial and upsetting but for others it may bring some closure that is long overdue,” said gallery manager Stacey Cody. The show, which runs May 19 to June 6, opens in the middle of Canadian Fertility Awareness Week (May 16-22). The gallery exhibit consists of a collection of sleeping babies done in soft and subtle watercolours. These are juxtaposed with a lifesized fertility temperature chart consisting of 28 petri dishes; each dish to be filled with mementos by women who have experienced ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology, including in vitro fertilization). Nurmi has contacted various Lower Mainland fertility organizations to put out the word about the interactive art project. While she anticipates that the exhibit will be difficult for some people, she has been contemplating this project for years and aims to bring awareness and healing about these issues. “The artist also realizes

from her own experiences that many infertile women suffer silently while having to attend to daily, painful reminders of their inability to procreate, ie., family get-togethers, baby showers, Mother’s Day, Christmas; in fact just about anywhere, everywhere and at all times,” Cody noted. The opening reception is May 22, 1-5 p.m. but the

gallery has also lined up a special event May 29. Sue Demais, with the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada, will speak at 4 p.m. The expert on fertility and fitness also owns a yoga centre.

Terry Nurmi’s works, like this painting of a child sleeping, are part of the new exhibit. Photo contributed

The Fort Gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. at 9048 Glover Rd. More information is at 604888-7411.

Yoga has been around for centuries and pilates has been around since the 1930s. Yet it’s modern life, with many people at desk jobs and lots of sedentary time, that has people turning to these forms of exercise to regain their health, preserve their health or get a good workout. Evolution Pilates, at #101 20457 Fraser Hwy., offers both yoga and pilates, and continues to tailor its courses to the public needs. The popularity of its services and courses means the studio has a diverse range of clients with a diverse range of experience. “I think our youngest client is about 15, all the way up to 70,” said Talia Wiebe, Evolution’s marketing coordinator One recent addition at Evolution has been infrared hot yoga.

people to get the benefits of a hot workout with a form of heat that is more comfortable yet reaches deep into muscle. • Cathy Mousseau “It just feels so good,” explained Wiebe. “You don’t have to get as hot to get the benefit.” • Barry Chew Those benefits include burning more calories • Tara Barry than non-heated workouts, having muscles more warmed up and supple, and helping the body rid • Heather Maw itself of toxins. Evolution is able to offer infrared hot yoga, one of only two places in B.C. and one of only a handful in the world, because of its December 2008 move from Willowbrook to Fraser Highway and a bigger space. That means Evolution can offer a range of classes in both yoga and pilates, including courses for absolute beginners. Wiebe explained that yoga classes have a maximum of 20 people and at most eight for pilates so that the instructors can offer personalized instruction. Evolution is also working to ensure that there are trained professionals able to help others by offering teaching courses, which are normally only offered in large cities like Vancouver. Wiebe said the studio is finalizing details for its summer courses. Stop by Evolution to find out about its courses and the full range of equipment for customer use. Your muscles will thank you.

Nematodes best defence for chafers

“Would boiling water work if I poured it directly on a chafer beetle colony at some stage in its life cycle? It works with ant hills.”

Wendy Feilden, Vancouver f you poured it on the lawn around the end of July, when the larvae are small and just under the surface, yes, it would kill them. But they will be all over your lawn. That could take a lot of boiling water. Alternatively, if you water with nematodes at the end of July, they will seek out the larvae and destroy them. Also, some nematodes are believed to remain in the soil and would be ready to feed on chafer larvae next year. Re-infection is very likely, since the mature chafer is a flying beetle. Current thinking is that remaining nematode colonies will be smaller than the original. Used on a lawn, boiling water may kill grass, too, because grass is shallowrooted. Usually, a thick, well-established lawn bounces back, but young or seedling grass won’t. Also water doesn’t stay boiling if you take it any distance, and it’s not effective in rain or in moist soil. I don’t recommend using

boiling water, though I do use it in certain places. It really is quite dangerous, especially if you have kids or a rambunctious dog underfoot, if you have balance problems, or if you have to carry it down long flights of steps or past obstacles. Dear Anne,

“I’m in love with hellebores! I have various varieties in fairly large pots on my deck. I realize they’re mostly shade-loving, but unfortunately we get hot afternoon sun (when it isn’t raining). Could you please steer me onto a variety that’s fairly sun-tolerant. I also need to know how to deadhead.”

Joanne Noringseth, via email Many hellebores are tougher in sun than is commonly thought. But the key to helping them adapt is moisture. This is doubly hard in containers, because the elevation drains the soil and sun heats up the sides

of the pot and the roots. You might add manure or sea soil as a soil amendment or as mulch. Also water very frequently. Hellebore argutifolius (formerly Corsicus) originates from Corsica and has a reputation for tolerating full sun. It has very large pale green flowers and greygreen leaves. Plants with greyish leaves are usually more sun-tolerant. H. foetidus has been tolerating hot afternoon sun for years in my front border. The key here is probably that the soil is moisture-retentive clay. I seldom water there in summer. Apparently this hellebore does well in California. H. orientalis is worth trying in sun, because it is so drought-tolerant. It’s hard to tell about the hybrids, since the genetics may be quite mixed. Deadheading varies. With H. niger, H. foet-

idus, and H. Corsicus, the flowering stem is cut to the ground. With the overflowing leaves of H. orientalis you can often just cut out the seedhead. Just trust your eye. Unless you want seeds, it’s best to deadhead before the seedheads turn yellow. Once that happens, hellebores dump seed very quickly. If you remove old leaves before new buds emerge, you can avoid transferring fungal infections.

The massive makeover and expansion at Langley Lodge is on track for completion spring of 2011. “On time and on schedule and on budget,” is how the lodge’s fundraising director summed up the project. Patrick Matrikowski said the new tower is up and now the existing structure is being renovated. The lodge is operated by the Langley Care Society and contracted by Fraser Health to provide housing and care services to seniors on fixed incomes. The project will cost $28 million with the society responsible for $11 million of that. Typically the lodge residency is at capacity. The six-storey building was built in the 1970s as a retirement home. It is now the largest long-term care facility in the Lower Mainland, and is home to 150 residents who are aided by 160 employees. With the expansion, the residents switch from

double occupancy to single occupancy, getting more space. The project is also an opportunity for the lodge to be modified to meet modern health codes and practices. The construction of the new areas and the renovation of the existing lodge has presented challenges, because the tenants remain on site and are seniors needing varying levels of care and assistance. “It’s business as usual,” he said of the lodge operating. “But a lot more meetings and communication between the construction crews and staff…”

A great deal of thought and planning has gone into how to accommodate the residents. Matrikowski explained that the second floor is home to residents with more cognitive issues. The third to sixth floors have been or are being renovated

and then the second floor residents will be moved temporarily as staff plan the best way to do this with minimal stress or trauma. While construction continues, the other key element of the project – fundraising – also carries on in earnest.

Photos contributed

Progress continues on the Langley Lodge upgrade and expansion. The new tower is built and residents will be moved over from the existing building which will then be renovated.

Funding

Support essential As a non-profit society, Langley Loodge must raise funds for capital work, like the construction, as well as for ancillary services (such as the basic oral health program) offered to residents who couldn’t otherwise afford them. Marketing director Patrick Matrikowski said there are many causes and charities all asking people for support, so he’s grateful to those who see value in the lodge and what it has done for more than three decades. “We do our best to make our case,” he said. Donations come in from residents in the community, family members of lodge residents, service clubs and community groups, municipal governments, and more. He noted that the lodge benefits from some big community events. The Rotary Club of Langley does its heli-golf fundraiser at Canada Day and the Sunrise Rotary Club does Crabfest. The lodge is a beneficiary of both efforts. This Saturday in the George Preston Recreation Centre, the lodge auxiliary is hosting Beatlemania, a tribute performance. Call Damien at 604-574-1944 or Margret at 604-532-7621 for a ticket ($20 apiece).

t’s been four decades since Howie Vickers was seen in the Lower Mainland. But a reunion of two classic rock bands has brought the Langley singer out of retirement. Better known as Howie Vickberg – chairman of the Langley Relay for Life and former Township councillor – he’ll take to the stage next week with the Collectors and Chilliwack. The big show will take place at the River Rock Casino on May 21 and 22. The Collectors, a band Vickberg fronted from 1967 to 1970, will open for Chilliwack. “The Collectors were what became Chilliwack,” he said. When Vickberg left, bandmate Bill Henderson took over lead vocals. With Chilliwack’s 40th anniversary approaching, Henderson called up Vickberg and invited him to re-create the band that preceded Chilliwack. Even the Collectors was not Vickberg’s first band. He began a musical career with the Classics, from 1964 to ‘67. “The name had to start with C, apparently,” he joked. The Classics were the house band of a rock showcase on CBC called Let’s Go! The show went through a number of incarnations, and was originally hosted out of Vancouver by Fred Latremouille and Red Robinson. It expanded across the country, with a variety of hosts in several cities. Featured acts included early performances by Anne Murray and the Guess Who. “I actually ended up hosting it at the very end,” Vickberg said. • More online at www.langleyadvance.com, click on “Living”

Everybody is pretty happy as you’d expect.” Tuft and the rest of the Garmin-Transition’s team spent two more days in

A former employee has ﬁled a complaint with the Human Rights Commission claiming substantial damages. He says he was forced to quit because two of my former employees harassed him because of his sexual orientation (or gender, religion, age, etc.). What is my liability as an employer?

Employers are generally liable for the wrongful acts of their employees committed in the course of their employment. Employers owe a duty to their employees both at common law and under the B.C. Human Rights Code to provide a workplace that is free from unlawful discrimination and/or harassment by co-workers, supervisors, customers, suppliers etc. Employers may be liable to employees who are victims of abuse or harassment on the job, even if the employer had no knowledge of, and did not participate in or encourage, the wrongful behavior. An employer may have a defense if it can show it was aware of its responsibility to its employees and took all reasonable steps to monitor and supervise the workplace and the conduct of its employees and the employer could not reasonably have been expected to prevent the wrongful conduct complained of.

Chaos second at Vernon tourney

Elbow room

Langley fell a run short in the championship game versus Penticton.

B.C. Titans guard Avery Smith muscled past an Olympia Reign defender during International Basketball League play Sunday at the Langley Events Centre (LEC). The Titans beat the Reign 115-104. The Langley-based Titans return to the court this weekend with three games in as many days. Today (Friday), they visit the Bellingham Slam. On Saturday, the Vancouver, Wash., Volcanoes pay a visit to the LEC to play the Titans at 7 p.m. The Titans close out the weekend with a Sunday afternoon game against Bellingham at the LEC. Opening tip-off of the Titans/Slam game is 3 p.m.

One out was all that separated the Langley Chaos bantam C girls fastball team from taking top spot at the Vernon Invitational tournament last week. As it turned out, the Chaos finished second, falling short of first place by one out and one run in the seventh inning of the final game. Langley played very strong in the round robin, finishing in first place with wins over Westside, Sicamous and West Kootenay, to go with a 7-6 loss to Penticton. In the playoff round, the

Langley Chaos baserunner Ashley Fountaine safely slid home in round robin action against Westside. Chaos battled a tough West Kootenay team to a 6-6 tie after six innings. In the bottom of the seventh inning, Morgan Rossi led off with a base hit and was finally driven home by Kelsey Dennis for the victory, advancing the local girls to the final

against Penticton. In the championship game, the Chaos led by two runs going into the seventh inning and needed one out to seal the win, but Penticton scored three runs in the inning to win the tournament final in a seesaw battle to the end. “The girls played so hard and so well, it was too bad to not win it all when it was so close,” Chaos coach Mike Glass said. “But everyone is so proud of how they battled hard all weekend.” The Chaos are: Stephanie Digness, Erica Williams, Rachel Stevenson, Lauren Peterson, Taylor Glass, Rachelle Folk, Morgan Rossi, Kelsey Dennis, Delanie Locke, Carly Watson, and Ashley Fountaine.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Settle into a few days of rest Sunday to noon Tuesday. Soon, you’re going to be very busy. Woo no one Sunday/Monday – love affairs started then would be short and disappointing, or long and disappointing. Romance is the main theme Tuesday eve to Thursday – and it’s complex! Illusion runs everywhere, almost like an elf; but clear, sober sight alternates. Stick with the latter. The same applies to creative and speculative ventures. Thursday night begins four weeks of travel, paperwork, details, calls, casual contacts and siblings. It starts with a major decision about work, duties.

Cancer June 21-July 22: This is a week of choices, of opposite extremes, and an attempt to reconcile or bring together competing people or ideas. The “poles” involve communications, relationships, ethics, ideas and philosophical (or religious) convictions, law, education or travel. E.g., do you travel to the next town, or to Africa? Attend college or night school? Remain “just friends” or get married? Both choices are valid. But: don’t fall in love before Tuesday dawn, and don’t fall for sexual illusion mid-week. The “casual” breeds partnership; the long, elevated, legal, international point to work luck.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Mysteries & dark attractions give way to understanding and the light of love Thursday night onward. Don’t chase love Sunday to Wednesday: a long-term disappointment lurks. If you break up Wednesday, consider yourself lucky. Despite these dire words, mid-week ﬁnds you actually happy, ﬂirtatious, optimistic and social! (Just forget infatuation.) Sink into rest, solitude and contemplation Thursday night to Saturday: a month of mental expansion, travel, new love and intellectual joy is just beginning. You attract attention, glances Saturday night. But hesitate about love, two more days.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Travel, paperwork, details and casual communications are slated Sunday to Tuesday. Speak carefully – beware of promising something that you have doubts about. Your money interests meet two barriers: one relates to romance, kids, home and family; the other to outside interests, friends, social factors. As the week ages, you might discern that the real problem is not money, but home versus the outside world, kids versus friends, romance versus ﬂirtations, career. Success is yours if you combine them. Rest mid-week. Romance, pleasure bless you Friday/Saturday. A money phase begins!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Keep working hard through Thursday –you could take one last big step in ambitious regions Tuesday to Thursday. (Before Tuesday, work quietly, with naps.) You’ve been somewhat suspicious of others, particularly of potential (or actual) partners for over a decade. This trend will fade away after 2011, but for now – this week – be neither suspicious nor gullible, especially Wednesday. All week, ﬁnancial decisions and choices face you. Choose a long-term outlook, investing, net worth, over “quick money” or mere spending. A month of ﬂirtations, popularity and fun begins Friday!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: What had been opportunity turns, late week, into a month of commitment. You’ll either grab an opportunity in a way that binds you, or walk away to seek change. Either works, so follow your instincts. This entire week (and May 23) is ﬁlled with choices between competing roads, people, forces. Until Wednesday eve, much of this involves sex, ﬁnances, health or commitment. Thursday onward, the choices are “lighter” – friends or a lover, a present indulgence or plan for the future? A casual relationship or a profound one? Lover, indulgence, profundity are lucky – to a degree.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Through Thursday, you remain sequestered, tired, contemplative, quiet. But a month of such is ending. Thursday eve into the weekend you can courageously end a situation, relationship or task/burden. This will be followed by a true surge of energy, optimism and effectiveness. This upsurge might not arrive until May 23, because you struggle all this week, right into Saturday night, with a tug-o-war between home-domestic-property-securitykid-related urges and demands, and those calling you away from home, to career, prestige and ambition projects. Maybe this relates to ending something!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Mellow times draw to a close. Still, you’ll like this week. Sunday to noon Tuesday brings popularity, entertainment, ﬂirtations, optimism about your future (and it’s justiﬁed!). Retreat, rest, contemplate and plan mid-week. Scan the horizon to study barriers and how to overcome them. Your energy and charisma rise Thursday night, just as a month of career, ambition, prestige relations and status situations enters. (VIPs favour you to Wednesday.) This week holds both opportunities and challenges in relationships, negotiations and dealings with strangers. You meet someone cheerful.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: At last, a month of hard work, boredom and health concerns ends (well, by Thursday night) – the fresh breeze of opportunity enters! Expect relationship excitement, new vistas & people, contracts & agreements, the possibility of relocation. But this week confronts you with a series of serious choices. Though others have treated you affectionately for the last few weeks, now you have to choose (Sunday/Monday) between affection (relationships generally) and ambition. Then, Tuesday/Wednesday, between affection and security or family. Then, late week, between ambition and home. Ah, well.

May 16 - 22 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A romantic, creative, pleasurable, sports-filled or beauty-oriented phase yields to a month of hard work and health concerns by Thursday night. But a streak of those good things will last into mid-June. (Best if romance, as the planet causing it is Venus.) Relationships, opportunities and fresh vistas confront you Sunday to Tuesday, but results are mixed. Romance with someone you met (or meet) in a group can succeed, so do casual Starbuckstype friendships and intellectual or legal affairs. But forget co-worker romance, and money’s deceptive. Mysteries mid-week. Gentle love late week! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You’re still “confined” to home, domestic and security concerns until Thursday night. Then a month of pleasure, romance, creativity and “winning” arrives! But somehow it comes about through a deep change you make, or it accompanies this change. The smaller the change, perhaps the less of a bang this lucky month ahead will make. (I could be wrong.) The whole week presents a series of challenges or choices. Romance won’t partner with sex, creativity won’t co-operate with money, Sunday to Wednesday. DO NOT begin a love these few days. Late week, money choices. But happiness looms! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Though the weeks ahead bring a slow-down, that’s actually good news, because it ends a rather wasteful spinning of your wheels. A travel, paperwork and errand-filled trend ends Thursday night, and a quiet, deep, meaningful few weeks begin. This week presents many choices. You might face the prospect of ending or deepening a relationship early week: the outcomes are, oddly, so similar that I have no advice except this: don’t start a new love (or any) relationship before Thursday. This night to Saturday brings relationship excitement, new horizons: quiet, sober, secure ones. Hmmm. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Safety message driven home to grads

Speakers and simulators are sending this message to Grade 12s: drinking, recklessness, and driving are a deadly mix. Fancy dresses, tuxedoes, limousines, parties, and big plans for the future: grad is an exciting time in a teenager’s life. But it can also be dangerous, even deadly, if poor choices are made and drinking and unsafe behavior is mixed with driving. “In the past, I have had to go to the parents of a student to inform them their daughter had been killed in a collision the night of her graduation,” related Sgt. Gerard Sokolowski, of Langley RCMP traffic services. “The experience is among the worst in my life, but pales in comparison to the loss the family was forced to deal with after that night.” To help educate teens and keep them safe this grad season, the Township of Langley is teaming with the Langley RCMP, ICBC, and the Langley School District to present a series of events designed to teach youth about the perils of speeding and impaired driving. “Students at both D.W. Poppy and Aldergrove Community Secondary will be getting an up-close, realistic look at the destruction that can be

…continued from page A41 The following day, May 20, the message will move to Aldergrove Community Secondary School, where the wrecked vehicle and roll-over simulator will be on site. Township councillor Grant Ward will introduce Brooks to the students, and the teens will have a chance to try out fatal vision goggles that simulate what it is like to be impaired and show the effect it can have on a person’s perception. The Township, ICBC, Langley RCMP, and the Langley School District are piloting the program at the two schools, and would like others to share it with their students.

“Being convicted may make it impossible for you to accept certain jobs or to leave the country.” Ineke Schuurman

“Poppy and Aldergrove booked Kevin as part of ICBC’s RoadSense program, and we hope that by combining his message with activities such as the roll-over simulator and fatal vision goggles, we can raise even more awareness,” Schuurman said. “The fact is, if you get into a car and you have been drinking or you chose to speed or drive dangerously, you are putting your future at risk,” she added. “Even if you don’t get hurt or hurt someone else, there are serious consequences that may affect you for years to come. Being caught drinking and driving will send your insurance rates up, taking away money that could have been spent on tuition. Impaired driving is a criminal offence, and being convicted may make it impossible for you to accept certain jobs or to leave the country. Is it worth it?” “You have the world ahead of you,” is Schuurman’s message to grads.
