A firefighter has had his wrist slapped in connection with commemoration of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the U.S. After the Langley Advance received information that a senior member of the fire department was suspended, City administrator Francis Cheung confirmed that action has been taken against a firefighter for something that took place on Sept. 11 this year. “One of the firefighters took some actions, and we investigated,” he said, declining to elaborate on personnel issues. He said the City looked into the protocols for Sept. 11 commemoration, contacting the federal government about rules for placing Canadian

flags at half mast. Sept. 11 is not on the list of special dates recognized by the federal government as appropriate for lowering flags to half mast, said Cheung, and so the City was following that protocol. Cheung added later by email that “the City respects our firefighters and all emergency personnel. We are also sympathetic to the fallen emergency personnel who lost their lives at 9/11.” Heritage Canada sends out notices of special occasions to lower flags. Recent notices have dealt with flags on all federal buildings to be lowered for Sept. 26, which is Police and Peace Officers’ National Memorial Day. “Having said all this,” Cheung added, “the City will meet with our firefighters to discuss how we should handle the 9/11 anniversary date in the future.” On Sept. 10 of this year, the City hosted a ceremony unveiling a $19,000 statue of a firefighter to honour fallen emergency responders.
Parent advisory councils at Langley schools told their District Parent Advisory Council they’d rather stick with elected trustees than risk a bureaucrat being appointed by Victoria. On Wednesday evening PACs voted on a DPAC motion asking for the current school board to be fired. Of the 39 PACs that make up DPAC, nine didn’t attend, seven abstained from voting, 13 voted against the motion, and 10 voted in favour. DPAC president Megan Dykeman-Porohowski said some PACs didn’t have a clear position from their parents to be able to take part in Wednesday’s vote. The motion called for the minister of education to remove the board of trustees and bring in an appointed trustee, citing the “continued dysfunction” of the board, the $75,000 cost of a byelection to fill the seat vacated by Trustee Joan Bech on Sept. 16, and the district’s ongoing financial problems. The DPAC was also concerned that Bech’s resignation would prevent the district from following recommendations stemming from a study of Langley School District’s financial problems by the provincial auditor general. The district is dealing with a $13.5 million deficit, requiring significant cuts in the coming four years. About 70 people attended Wednesday’s meeting, including two trustees and a senior district administrator. The meeting opened with a general vote on whether the trustees and district staffer should be allowed stay. The crowd mostly voted to let them to stay. “The parents honestly wanted the trustees and the senior management to hear the discussion,” she said. During discussions on the motion, DPAC came under criticism for announcing the motion to the media, DykemanPorohowski said. The DPAC executive told the crowd that the press conference was held Sept. 21, and copies of the motion were hand delivered to each school, as the quickest way to get word out to PACs and the parents about the Sept. 29 vote.

A small replica of the St. Andrew’s United Church chapel was rescued from a burn pile in Abbotsford, and resurrected in front of the Fort Langley’s church in time for the 125th anniversary this past weekend. The playhouse-sized church, which mirrors St. Andrew’s Chapel, sat in a resident’s yard in Milner for years. Jack Stetz admired it often as he drove by. Suddenly, he noticed it missing, and he assumed it was lost forever, until unexpectedly, while on a drive through Abbotsford a few months back, Stetz spotted it on a farm. Naturally, he was compelled to stop. A relative from Langley had passed away, Stetz was told, and the family was slowly sorting through all the possessions. The replica church was bound for the burn pile when time permitted. Needless to say, Stetz hauled it away, and by adding a few coats of paint, he managed to revitalize the detailed miniature in time for last weekend’s celebrations. That was just one of many special features incorporated into last weekend’s festivities. The public party on Saturday, plus a special service on Sunday, allowed members of the community and the church’s congregation to celebrate the long history of the village landmark. It was a labour of love organizing the celebration weekend, echoed several of the volun-

Countless members of the congregation working tirelessly for the past year to organize different aspects of the event. Marv Woolley was among those. He spent months creating special plaques that were presented to members of the church 80 years or older during last weekend’s festivities. The plaques are simple, but hold incredible significance to the church, explained the creator. He cut about 100 pieces of 6X6 inch shakes from the original 40-foot cedar beams that ran the length of the church, and were extracted in 2008 when the original foundation was replaced.
He then attached 125-year-old hand-forged nails, extracted from the same foundation project, in the shape of a religious cross, and attached a thank you sticker to the back of each. The church, located on the corner of Glover Road and St. Andrew’s Street, was originally built as a Presbyterian worship centre, only converted to a United Church 85 years ago. But the Fort Langley’s congregation history goes back even further. It started in about 1862, when a Presbyterian missionary Rev. Robert Jamieson arrived – via the Panama – and began setting up the earliest religious work in Langley.
Education
Province restores funding to parent groups by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Langley’s and the more than 1,400 parent advisory councils in this province will see more gaming grants this year. The provincial government announced Thursday that it is giving the school parent groups $11 million, doubling the per student amount from last year’s $10 to $20 this year. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman said the funding recognizes the important role of parents in education.
“To recognize the value of parents’ involvement in their children’s education, this year we have doubled the grant to $20 for every student enrolled in B.C.,” Coleman said. Langley District Parent Advisory Council president Megan Dykeman-Porohowski said the group is pleased that the province didn’t cut funding to PACs and DPACs. The group will receive $2,500. DPACs are composed of PACs from every school in a district. A year ago, the provincial government cut PAC funding from $20 per student per year to $10, so the increase takes PACs to where they

The building, which still stands today, came into fruition and was dedicated on Sept. 26, 1885. That was 125 years ago now. The structure has been expanded, including a hall and heritage room where some of the special keepsakes from early days remain. The pews, floors, and even one of the original wood doors – autographed by the builder Thomas Turnball – still remain in the chapel. Ironically, the exterior appearance of the church has changed very little, making it easily recognizable, whether looking at photos taken around the 1900 or at the turn of the 21st century.

were back in 2008. In 2009, DPAC funding was cut from $2,500 to $1,250. PACs use the grant money for such things as school drama and chess clubs, writing, debating and music competitions, and student societies, student travel in B.C., newsletters, yearbooks, playground and sports equipment, scholarships and bursaries. PAC grants are based on student enrolment numbers. In Langley, schools in Fort Langley will receive $ 22,440 while Aldergrove area schools will get $51,060. The rest of the schools in the Langleys will split $286,580.

PuCKS dinner hits spot by Troy Landreville
tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
Goals continue to be scored by PuCKS, with a bushel of assists being credited to a community full of Good Samaritans. PuCKS (Promoting Community Through Kids in Sport) is a Langleybased organization that, through on-ice hockey programs and an off-ice literacy and homework club (Lit Fit), assists kids who are financially in need, behaviourally at risk, or who have recently settled in Canada. Over the past year, the PuCKS Program registered 75 youngsters, 20 of whom are playing with the Langley Secondary School Hockey Academy or minor hockey in either Aldergrove or Langley. The additional 55 participants belong to the PuCKS recreational league and beginner hockey program run out of the National
Training Hockey Centre and George Preston Recreation Centre. At an appreciation dinner Wednesday night at the Fort Pub & Grill, PuCKS acknowledged the people who helped make the program a success. “Our group is from all walks of life and cultures – Canadian, Korean, American, and Karen,” PuCKS operations director Margaret Kunst told the gathering of about 70 attendees. “There is a common thread through all and that is a physical, financial, or transportation need. These kids are from single parents, grandparents, foster parents, or just hard-working families that can’t play minor hockey because the schedule is just too demanding or they simply just don’t have transportation. The parents and the kids love that they can play in our PuCKS-run programs once a week.” Visit: www.pucksprogram.ca.

CELEBRATING TEACHING AND LEARNING
on World Teachers’ Day
A message from the Langley Teachers’ Association
Lynn Janecki has been noticing a lot of distracted drivers of late. Sure, when the new handsfree cellphone ban came into place this summer, there was a high degree of compliance. But Janecki, a volunteer with the Brookswood Community Policing office, started noticing that more drivers have started ignoring the rules of the road. “That’s kind of what started this,” she said. She pitched the idea of a distracted driver campaign to her CPO and volunteers from the Brookswood office have been out on the streets for a few hours each week since mid-September. “We’ve found that there definitely has been an increase in the people using their cellphones,” Janecki said. The volunteers check 400-800 vehicles each time they have been out and record the licence as well as the time and location of the sighting. The registered owners of some vehicles then receive something in the mail. “We’re doing up letters telling them if we were an enforcement agency, they would have received a fine and points against their licence,” she said. Sometimes drivers are stopping and asking the volunteers what they are doing. Other times, drivers see the volun-
teers in their fluorescent safety vests with their clipboards and assume they’ve been nabbed. “People know it’s not okay to do this,” Janecki said. One man in his 60s threw his cellphone into the passenger seat when he saw the volunteers. A young woman was so distracted texting behind the wheel, she didn’t see the volunteers but they saw her. The CPO also received a call from a registered owner, asking about the letter. They told her the date, time, and location where the vehicle was seen with a driver using a prohibited device. She told them she would be having a chat with her son and that she appreciated the notification. B.C. law prohibits people using cellphones and other handheld devices such as PDAs, games, or GPS while driving. Those caught by the police receive a fine of up to $167 and three penalty points on their licences. The Brookswood Community Policing office also took the message of handsfree driving to Brookswood Secondary recently, talking at the school about not using devices as well as about the Lock Out Auto Crime program. CPO volunteers are also going to be doing a check near the school before the distracted driver initiative wraps up Oct. 3. Although it’s likely that the volunteers will be doing another campaign in the future, since drivers seem to need occasional reminders of B.C.’s new motoring reality. “As soon as you stop, they go right back to it,” she commented.

Time set aside for animals
Mohandas Ghandi, one of history’s greatest men of peace, famously said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Although Canada has legally forbidden animal cruelty since Confederation – marking it as a progressive nation at the time, by the standard Ghandi’s comment set few decades later – progress has since been diminished by the static standards that continue to determine the nature of cruelty in this country. Serious, visible cruelty violations against dogs, cats, and horses are only a hint at what many see as the real problem in Canada. Regulations governing housing and husbandry of farm animals here – and rules of harvest for wild species – are seen by many as archaic and regressive, and conditions that easily meet legal standards in this country would fail the litmus test for cruelty in other jurisdictions. It’s not a great stretch to suggest that the way chickens and pigs are routinely treated in their minimal, caged environments – or how they and other food animals are slaughtered – may have an impact on the way that other domestic species, used primarily as pets, can be mistreated. Legitimizing abuse of one animal certainly creates a social culture that more easily tolerates abuse of another. In recognition of Ghandi’s insightful reflections on people and the animals with which we share the planet, his birthday, Oct. 2, has been declared World Farm Animals Day, a day to raise awareness of the way animal welfare is often compromised as we industrialize agriculture in a quest to meet growing food demands for a growing world population. It’s a day worth setting aside to reflect on how we stack up as one of the world’s truly progressive nations. – B.G.

Langley Township
Too many worked on great job
Dear Editor, Recently, the Township replaced a culvert under my driveway. The gas line into my property also runs down this driveway, and over the culvert. The Township did a great job, and the foreman on the job was first class. However, I do have a major concern over the number of Township workers it took to do the job. It took four employees and a foreman to ascertain where the gas line was located. I can only assume the three additional workers were there for moral support for the one man who carried the locating device. Once the route of the gas line was determined, a hydro vac truck was called to “dig” a small hole with a jet of water, to physically find the “actual” gas line. (I had
previously performed almost the exact same function when installing gate posts in the same location – the only difference was that I called BC One Call to locate the gas line route, and then dug the 12-inch-deep hole myself, with a shovel. And to actually install the culvert took one backhoe, approximately 8-10 employees, and four or five Township vehicles. A friend who is the public works superintendent in another municipality suggested this project should have been completed by a backhoe and one extra man. If this project was indicative of all the Township projects, it is no wonder our taxes are skyrocketing. The Township probably has twice as many employees as is necessary. Fred McNeill, Glen Valley
Mayor’s censure
Dear Editor, It seems as though Councillor Charlie Fox, in his explanation of the censuring of Mayor Rick Green [Mayor still short on facts, Sept. 21 Letters, Langley Advance], suggests it’s okay to spend 70 grand to prove that, maybe, somebody wasn’t telling the absolute truth.
Nobody has accused the information that Mayor Green acted on of being incorrect. The majority of council is upset that Mayor Green wasn’t truthful about when he first became aware of this issue. In Fox’s world, proving Rick Green wrong at anything is worth 70 grand of taxpayers’ money.
Langley education
Bullies’ explanation wanted
Dear Editor, I was deeply saddened by the resignation of Joan Bech. She always demonstrated sound judgement and did her due diligence in asking questions about issues, and was clear as to why she made her decisions. We wish her all the best. I am enraged that other trustees pressured her to resign. Since when did bullying become acceptable behaviour? Trustees demonstrated once again that they were incapable of making a fiscally responsible decision. The cost of an election will take more services away from our children. If those trustees feel that they were so right, they should explain their actions to all the parents. E. Barrett, Langley [Note: A fuller version of this letter and others on similar topics are online at www.langleyadvance.com.]
How much money should we, the public dedicate to find out the truth about the way landfill applications have been handled by the Township? For years, senior members of council and staff have been lying to taxpayers in all questions related to landfills. Mayor Green needs to keep up the good work. I’m sure that the HST-style of politics in the Township is about done. Tyler deBoer, Langley [Editor’s Note: “The information that Mayor Green acted on,” referred to above, was indeed incorrect, and had been determined to be so more than a decade before the mayor came into its possession, a fact alluded to by Coun. Fox and others as a basis for their concerns and their need to explore the situation more deeply. A fuller version of this letter and others on similar topics are online at www.langleyadvance.com.]

Animal welfare
Love leads to painful decision
Dear Editor, I want to thank the kind people at LAPS for helping me through the heartbreaking process of giving up my muchloved dog, Fisher, for adoption. It was the best decision, and their rigorous process ensures the best for the animal, owner, and new adoptive families. Though I cried inconsolably at times, I realize that LAPS has the same hopes and desire for a loving adoptive family for Fisher that I have. I hope your readers will find it in their hearts to donate to or volunteer with this wonderful, community-minded Society. With all the curves that life has thrown me lately, it was a relief to have LAPS’s emotional support in doing the “right thing” for my dog. I will always love Fisher, but he deserves the best that life has to offer him. LAPS will protect him when I no longer can, and find him a new, happier home. Diana Cadham, Langley

Several months back, we told you about a local group from East Side Mario’s Restaurant – unquestionably one of my fav in town – and their efforts to raise money for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Well the team of six or so staffers at the restaurant, headed up by franchise owner Mark Bos, has been hard at work for more than two months preparing for this Sunday’s CIBC Run for the Cure fundraiser being held in Abbotsford. And I’m pleased to announce that they held a car wash a month ago that raised about $600, and they’ve been participating in a nationwide coupon book cam-
paign where every $5 a customer donates to the cause earns them a $5 coupon for the restaurant. All that effort has culminated in success. They’re heading into this weekend’s event having nearly reached their selfimposed $1,500 goal. If this is a cause near to your heart – as it is mine – visit the restaurant before Sunday. Or stop by the Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford on Sunday morning, and show your support for the local team. Registration is at 9 a.m., followed by the run at 10 a.m. Or for more information or to donate, visit www.runforthecure.com.
Colouring hair for cancer
And speaking of fundraisers – as you know I like to do – and the efforts of local businesses to help out charities, I’d like to draw your attention to another cancer-related fundraiser going on during October and November.
The event is called Hair Affair BC, and it’s a new project for men and women across the province who want to raise money and awareness for prostate cancer. Why am I bringing it up? There’s a Langley company heading up the efforts locally. Colour Tech Hair Studio, at 201st Street and Fraser Highway, is one of the participating salons, and hopes it can raise the most money. Folks are encouraged to cut, colour, grow, or shave their head of hair, or facial hair, and collect pledges. An online donation system allows individuals to upload before and after pictures, collect donations, and have comments written about their looks. All money collected will be divided between the Prostate Cancer Foundation BC and the Prostate Centre. For more information, or to sign up, www.hairaffairbc.ca, or stop by Colour Tech.
Golfing in crazy pants pays
And again focusing on charity, I’ll tell you about a group out of Langley who raised some big coin for the children. For the 15th year in a row, the crew at Overwaitea Food Group in North Langley held an annual Classic Fore Kids Golf Tournament, raising an outstanding $1 for Child Health BC, a BC Children’s Hospital initiative. More than 370 Overwaitea suppliers came out in the middle of September, to support the cause. A total of 72 teams embraced the fun of flamboyant golfing attire with a “crazy pants” theme and raised a record $1 million for kids. “For more than two decades, we’ve focused our community support efforts on kids and their families,” said OFG president Steve van der Leest. “We’re grateful for the support of our suppliers, team members and customers, helping us bring kids the care they need, closer to home.”

Fire Prevention Week
Pizzas join safety blitz
Local fire departments are gearing up for Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 3-9.
Langley City residents who order pizza from Panago on the evening of Oct. 6 shouldn’t be surprised if it’s delivered by a firefighter. The Langley City fire department is using a novel campaign to encourage smoke detector use and maintenance. Members will be going out with deliveries, and if they find a working smoke detector in the home, the pizza is free. But if there isn’t, people have to pay for the pizza. It’s not all bad news though. Firefighters will install a smoke detector in the home, for free. “We’re hoping to give out free pizza,” said Dave Saunders, the City’s fire prevention officer. Maple Ridge firefighters had success with the campaign, and Langley City is hoping it could become a tradition. The City fire hall, at 5785 203rd St., also is planning an open house Thursday, Oct. 7, 6-9 p.m. Meet firefighters, learn about fire safety and burn prevention, and check out fire gear. There will be fire and Jaws of Life demonstrations. There will also be the popular Firefighter for a Day contest, just after Fire Prevention Week, and schools are being encouraged to hold fire drills. Saunders said City schools that hold drills are eligible for a draw for $100 in scholastic books. Langley Township firefighters are also active during Fire Prevention Week. All Township fire halls will open their doors to the public 6:30-8 p.m. on Oct. 5.

Capt. Gary Proznick and Krista Barton, who oversee public education with the Township Fire Department, encourage people to have basic fire safety gear like smoke detectors and fire extinguishers. “Our firefighters are looking forward to meeting with children and local residents and talking about the need to have working smoke alarms in your home and where you work,” said Capt. Gary Proznick, Township Fire Department public education officer. The Township is also holding a Fire Chief for a Day contest for elementary schools, and will offer seminars at schools, covering fire prevention, kitchen safety, working smoke alarms, and home-escape planning. Both fire departments are stressing the importance of fire alarms and of carbon monoxide detectors in the home. This year’s theme for Fire Prevention Week is Smoke Alarms: a Sound You Can Live With. “It is very important that you regularly check your smoke alarms and CO detectors to ensure they all are working,” Proznick said. “The life you save may be yours.”

hirty years at the helm of a music group is a long time for anyone. But for someone like Peter Luongo, who has a passion for the ukulele, an engrained love of music, and an unbridled spirit of community, it doesn’t seem like enough. In fact, the 53-year-old school principal can still vividly recall a phone call that came all those decades ago, from the former director of an after-school ukulele group operating in Langley. She was handing over responsibility to her second in command – him. “Lorna (McPhee) said to me, ‘Starting tomorrow, you’re in charge.’” The look of shock and bewilderment must have been apparent on Luongo’s face, because at that moment his new bride walked in the room and knew a shift in power had just occurred that would forever change both their lives. Still grasping the receiver of his old rotary dial phone, Luongo explained to his wife Sandi that he’d just been handed control of what was to become known as the Langley Ukulele Ensemble. Little did either of them know what was in store, or that under Luongo’s tutelage the once dwindling student band would not only be revitalized but go on to flourish locally and internationally. “Today, Langley is known as one of the ukulele capitals of the world,” Luongo said, giving all that credit to the hundreds of incredible young Langley people who have

Pavilion and Canada Place during Expo ’86. From there, LUE started getting hired to do community events, and concerts were starting to come their way, including several invitation to perform for the Rotary Clubs. It enhanced their reputation tremendously, and the next year – when the ensemble returned to Hawaii again – this time a Lower Mainland film crew followed them. Suddenly, they were in the international spotlight. Even a reporter from NBC called from Texas for an interview one day while Luongo was mowing his lawn. Invitations began to pour in.

orothy is all grown up in a Wizard of OZ-inspired burlesque show written and directed by Langley’s Cameron Fatkin. Ruby Red is a hybrid musical that mixes traditional musical theatre with the tantalizing sexiness of traditional burlesque. It starts today (Friday) at the Performing Arts Lodge Theatre in Vancouver. Despite the show including some familiar names – Dorothy, the Wizard, the Wicked Witch of the West – this isn’t a tale for the little ones. While there is no nudity, the whole point of burlesque is innuendo and the women in the cast strip down to pasties. (Those who aren’t old enough to remember pasties might want to ask their grandparents.) Fatkin recommends only those aged 16-plus join the audience.

Langley scribes came together for Word On The Street

or book lovers, last weekend was a special time in the Lower Mainland. Not only are the fall leaves crackling on the sidewalks beneath our feet, but the pages of books could be heard turning at Library Square in Vancouver, where a myriad of authors – including a few Langley scribes – participated in the 16th annual Word on The Street festival. The free event last Sunday featured authors, events, exhibits, performances, marketplaces – and an all-round sense of reading and writing excitement. Peter Darbyshire read from his second novel, The Warhol Gang. Darbyshire previously penned Please, a book that won a ReLit Award for best alternative novel and the Ontario Arts Council’s Hunter award for best new book. Now settled in the West Coast, he’s written The Warhol Gang, which is an absurdist tale for an age of absurdism, a black comedy for anyone who’s ever been trapped in an endless mall or fantasized about killing everyone in the office. Also part of last weekend’s show was long-time Fort Langley resident Ian Weir, who is an awardwinning screenwriter, playwright, and novelist. He is the writer and executive producer of the acclaimed crime thriller Dragon Boys, a CBC miniseries that first aired in 2007. He was also creator and executive producer of the long-running CBC teen drama Edgemont. Anyway, since his venture into
the world of printed fiction, he was on hand for the word festival, reading from his debut novel Daniel O’Thunder. Among others found at the show who have ties to Langley, there was Betty Keller and Ryan Knighton both discovered in the authors tent, both who grew up in Langley and went on to explore the world of writing. Keller now lives on the Sunshine Coast. She is an author, playwright and editor who collaborated on the biography of Ray Williston, and more recently published her first novel Better the Devil You Know. Knighton, on the other hand, has penned novels, books, magazine articles and more since leaving Langley to pursue academia at SFU. On his 18th birthday, he was diagnosed with a genetic condition that has slowly blinded him over the past 15 years, but despite that he’s a member of the English department at Capilano University, and has published a series of books
in a variety of genres in recent years (www.ryanknighton.com).

Music for Life
nd if you’re up for some music this weekend, consider checking out the ABBA Cadabra tribute band – featuring Langley’s own Alyssa Nielsen – at the Bell Centre for Performing Arts in Surrey on Saturday. They’re featured in a show called Music for Life, an evening of song and entertainment in support of the Canadian Diabetes Association. “We are at the Bell Centre and then heading straight to Oliver for the wine festival,” said Nielsen, who splits her time between ABBA Cadabra and her new princess party business. Tickets are $37.50, and the evening also includes a silent auction, raffle, and entertainment by an Elton John tribute performer known as The Piano Man.

harity and music come together again next week, when Food Bank Tuesdays welcomes back Ontario aboriginal entertainer Luke Isaac, and Langley’s own multi-genre singer Alyssa Nielsen (from ABBA Cadabra). The monthly coffeehouse event is a fundraiser for the Langley Food Bank, and organizer Eli Bryan simply asks people to bring a donations of non-perishable food or cash for the food bank in lieu of admission. The next night of music is set for Tuesday, Oct. 5 at McBurney Coffee and Teahouse, 7-9 p.m.

allery 7 Theatre & Performing Arts is launching its first Theatre Side Chat Series this
week. It’s a series of three casual evenings of music, coffee, and “stimulating discussions” related to the magic and power of theatre, said Gallery 7’s artistic director Ken Hildebrandt. “Theatre is so much more than watching entertaining stories, as good as that is. Theatre also has the power to bring the community together to share, to engage, and to discuss important themes that explore the human experience and hopefully leads to change,” said Hildebrandt, who leads the first called From Hobby to Calling: A life in the theatre. The first chat is Tuesday, Oct. 5, 7:30 p.m. at the House of James, 2743 Emerson St. Admission is $5 at the door. For more, visit www. gallery7theatre.com.

Danger grows in big trees Dear Anne,
“This spring we lost two of our cottonwood trees in a windstorm. They are very tall, and we have six more in the backyard. “What is the best time to reduce some branches from the trees?”
Jaya, via email
C
ottonwoods can be hard to live with. They grow extremely tall, and tend to crash down in windstorms because they have shallow roots. Rot can develop in old cottonwoods, and large branches or whole tops can topple in high winds. The dormant season, late fall and winter, is the best time for pruning, but it may be the wrong thing to do.
If your remaining cottonwoods are tall, old trees, pruning any of the huge branches may make the trees more unstable. Moderate pruning of all the branches, to preserve symmetry, will leave them prone to rotting, which could make them even more dangerous, in the long run. If you are in a newly built home, it’s possible that land-clearing has exposed the trees much more to the force of winds. It’s very likely that the next few winters will see some others falling as well – and they could fall in places that can cause you serious problems. I recommend that you ask an arborist to visit and evaluate whether or not

your trees are dangerous. It’s possible the safest thing may be to get the trees taken down before nature does it for you. But removal of those huge trees won’t deprive you completely of cottonwoods or that delightful honey smell they exude in the spring.

verything they do to bring community theatre to Langley is done out of love and passion for the arts. A treasure trove of awards, like the countless trophies laid upon Langley Players during the recent Community Theatre Coalition awards ceremony in White Rock, are just like icing on the proverbial cake, said president Angela Bell. “We are all volunteers, no one is paid for the time they spend contributing to the success of each production – and yet we passionately climb on board team after team, cast after cast,” Bell said. “Everything we all do is done out of love for the theatre and the community. Our
reward is the joy and enchantment of the audience, their smiling faces, their laughter and tears.” But Bell said it an incredible honour to also be recognized for their talents, dedication and hard work – particularly by a panel of their peers. Langley audiences will have the opportunity to see this talented group when the Langley Players debut Office Hours, a Norm Foster comedy, at the playhouse Oct. 21. The show is set to run until Nov. 20.

Derby Reach
Weekend celebration pays homage to the apple
Langley Advance files
Charlotte White, of Surrey, hoisted up a bale of hay on her back during last year’s Heritage Apple Day.
C
oordinators of this year’s Heritage Apple Day hope more guests will think about the environment and travel by foot or bike to Derby Reach Regional Park. Saturday, Oct. 2, marks the fifth year that the Derby Reach/Brae Island Parks Association, in partnership with Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, has paid
homage to the almighty apple by hosting Heritage Apple Day. This year’s celebration will be held at the Derby Reach park on Allard Crescent, between 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Naturally, the day will include apple tasting, heritage apple displays and information, heritage and orchard tours, and cider making demonstrations – as part of paying homage to the fruit. The day will also include a return of fiddlers from Langley Community Music School, a bee display, and even some plein air painters in the park.
Imagine mutual funds you actually understand. Did we just blow your mind?
There will be Royal Engineer re-enactments and children’s activities provided by Langley Environmental Partners and the Fort Langley National Historic Site, as well as apples to pick, farm chores to do and a haystack for kids to roll in, said organizer Sharon Meneely. “This fun-filled event is free to the public; the only items for purchase are heritage apple trees,” she added. And Metro Parks is throwing out a challenge to locals to travel greeen, giving prizes, while supplies last, to those who arrive at the event on foot or on bicycle.
White tasted some fruit samples.

oggonit, now that’s an honest person. Organizers of a show due on stage at Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey next month are relieved that a Good Samaritan discovered the cash they thought was gone for good. Last week, a member of the Paws 2 Dance dog club, based in Langley and Surrey, had put $2,700 in bank deposits on the roof of her car and drove away, forgetting about the cash and cheques. Five hours later, she returned to her Vancouver home and saw papers strewn about the nearby alley. Devastated and horrified, she quickly put up posters requesting the return of the envelopes, which were already labeled with bank and account information. She also made phone calls to members of the club advising them of the misfortune. “Some of them told her that their cheques had already been cashed,” explained group president Gail Walsh. A visit to the bank later revealed what happened: The person who found the envelopes had deposited every cent into the group’s account. “It’s amazing, because we thought it was totally gone,” Walsh said. The Paws 2 Dance people are now hoping to locate the kind-hearted person to offer free tickets to their Nov. 6 show, billed as a musical drama that involves dancing dogs and indoor kite flyers. “Fittingly, the (show) title Escape the Darkness refers to the darkness in our hearts that can be escaped when people reach out to others,” Walsh said. “Thank you, whoever you are, for reaching out for us. We hope you will contact us.” Money raised during the show will be given to Critter Care wildlife rescue organization in Langley. It’s going to cost members of the small non-profit group around $30,000 to put on what promises to be a colourful canine musical, with money for theatre rental, costumes, set construction, technicians, rehearsal space and other expenditures. The group is online at www.paws2dance.com.

Minor football
Stamps beat defending B.C. champs Tuft 26th at
world champs
Langley Minor Football’s midget squad improved to 4-0 after beating visiting Chilliwack.
The Langley Stampeders played the role of “Giant” killers Sunday afternoon at McLeod Athletic Park. The local midget football team faced off against the defending provincial champion Chilliwack Giants in what was touted as a potential game of the week – and it didn’t disappoint. A team effort on both sides of the ball powered the Stamps to an impressive 20-8 victory. After Langley’s defence stopped the Giants’ opening drive, the Stampeders’ offence took over and drove the ball 82 yards down the field. The drive was capped off with a nifty 22-yard run for a touchdown by running back Mathew Berg. For the second straight week, Langley’s defence had a strong outing, shutting down the Giants’ vaunted passing attack. Led by senior Charles Scott, the rest of the secondary including Dylan McQuisten, Josh Kakowski, Alain Velo, and Cody Thompson frustrated the Giants throughout the contest. Scott had a fumble recovery and a number of huge hits that separated the Giants’ receivers from the ball. Thompson recorded an interception while McQuisten made five tackles and recovered a blocked punt for a touchdown. Langley’s offence moved the ball consistently but penalties limited the Stamps to field goals, and negated one touchdown on a holding infraction. Kalen McMurchy, who had a big day kicking, recorded two converts and a pair of field goals of 12 and 31 yards. The Stamps remain a perfect 4-0 and stand alone at the top of the Vancouver Mainland Football League’s Midget Division standings. Langley’s next test will come this Sunday when the team travels to Victoria to meet the 3-1 Spartans in what should prove to be a pinnacle game for both teams. Bantam Outlaws Langley Minor Football’s 12- and- 13year-old junior bantam Outlaws hammered the host Coquitlam Vikings by a 52-23 score Sunday at Mackin Park. The Outlaws’ Tyler Anderson set the pace by returning the game’s opening

He was helped by a crushing open field block by Hayden Hamilton. Placekicker Connor Griffiths’ twopoint convert gave the visitors an early 8-0 lead. The Outlaws’ offensive assault continued with a hard hitting three-and-out defensive stand on Coquitlam’s first possession, forcing the host Vikings to turn the ball over on their own 54-yard line after a third-down gamble failed, courtesy of a stellar Chris Ramsden tackle. Four plays later the Outlaws offensive line sprung rookie wingback Demarcus Singleton for a 38-yard touchdown run. Langley’s Ramsden was in on the carnage again on the next Vikings’ offensive series.
His hit on the ball carrier forced a fumble that was alertly recovered by Kyle Clarot on the Coquitlam 54-yard line. Terrell Jana then made the Vikings pay, running in the game’s third score on a 12-yard misdirection play through a monster-sized hole created by blockers David Dejo and Ryan Rai. The Vikings responded with a touchdown to make it 22-7 after the first quarter of play. A fumble and a missed blocking assignment cost the Outlaws momentum on their third offensive drive, giving up the ball at midfield. Three plays later, the Vikings scored a touchdown to narrow the deficit to 22-15.

In what he described as the “worst day of my life,” Canadian cyclist and Langley resident Svein Tuft pedaled to 26th place in the men’s time trial event at the 2010 UCI Road World Championships in Melbourne, Australia. Tuft, the current and multiple Canadian champion in time trial, completed the course in one hour, three minutes, four seconds, almost five minutes behind the victory time posted by Switzerland’s Fabian Cancellara, the defending world champion and current Olympic champion. Tuft was amongst the international favourites to contend for a medal. In 2008, he won the silver “It’s the worst medal at the world chamfeeling when pionships in you know the time trial you just don’t race. “This is have it.” the worst day Svein Tuft of my life. I broke down mentally. I was going well over the climbs and just over the last climb I said, ‘This is where I need to lay down the power’ and it just wasn’t there,” said Tuft, visibly upset after the race. “It’s the worst feeling when you know you just don’t have it. I had done some great efforts on the time trial machine prior to coming here and they were way better than today.” The 42 competitors entered in the race completed two laps of a 22.8-kilometre circuit for a total distance of 45.6 kilometres. Cancellara’s victory was dominating, defeating his closest competitor by more than one minute. Cancellara, 29, has won the time trial world title four times in the last five years, winning the prestigious rainbow jersey in 2006, ’07, ’09 and this year. David Millar of Great Britain took the silver medal, and Germany’s Tony Martin grabbed the bronze medal. The Road World Championships continue tomorrow with the road race for the men’s U23 category.

The kids have really developed in terms of their maturity.”

Offensive explosion invokes mercy rule …continued from page A30
All signs of a comeback were thwarted by the Outlaws’ special teams unit, as, on the ensuing kickoff, deep-kick returner Singleton ran the ball back 73 yards past a wall of Langley blockers and Viking shrapnel to make it 30-15. The Langley defence stuffed the Vikings’ next ball possession with key tackles by Spencer Mathewman and Devon McBride. Jana scored his second touchdown on a six-yard run, set up by some physical ground-pounding runs by Dejo, as the Outlaws padded their lead to 38-15. Clarot ended the half with a 33-yard interception return that had promise of a major score, before he was brought down by the Vikings short of the goal line on the final play of the first half. A forced fumble by McBride stopped a Vikings’ drive deep in Langley territory. The ball was recovered by Dejo, leading to Singleton’s third touchdown on a sixyard run early in the third quarter to make it 46-15. Griffiths’ successful two-point convert kick invoked the VMFL mercy rule and running time. A three-yard touchdown pass from Hamilton to the outstretched hands of Spencer Moore rounded out scoring and sealed Langley’s lopsided road victory. The Outlaws continue their road trip on Sunday with a visit to New Westminister to play the Hyaks. Kickoff is 3 p.m. at Mercer Stadium.

Pascoe said, “put them into something positive and progressive that challenged them.” A handful of the Karen children took part in a scrimmage, involving peewee-aged Canadian players, organized by Tim Preston of Impact Hockey. “It was magical,” said Pascoe, who has been running hockey camps for five years on a volunteer basis. “These kids rocked on the ice and they thought, ‘You know what, we can play with these kids.’” Two of the Karen players took part in their first-ever practice, and game, on Monday with their respect-

A hockey program designed for kids who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to play Canada’s winter pastime wrapped up Sept. 17 at the Langley Events Centre (LEC). The program involved 22 players between the ages of seven and 10, as well as 15 Karen children who arrived in Canada from Myanmar (formerly Burma). The BCTC Hockey Camp for Kids was made possible thanks in large part to support from the Forzani Group Ltd., along with BC Hydro (BCTC) and PuCKS (Promoting Community Through Kids In Sport). The camps began in May and June in Abbotsford
and continued through to September at the Langley Sportsplex and LEC. The players also trained at National Hockey Training Centre (NHTC) for two summer sessions. “What really made the camp was the volunteer coaches who stepped up to the plate and volunteered positive energy,” said Randy Pascoe, chief instructor with the program. Sportsplex general manager Bud Pope volunteered to do an ice session, and add his expertise at the Walnut Grove ice and recreation facility. The program partnered with PuCKS to provide an elite hockey camp for the Karen children, to allow them to play at a higher level while providing them with an opportunity to,

Mixed results for Bears in ’Wack A North Langley Bears flag football team recorded a clean sweep over the host Chilliwack Giants Saturday. The Bears were greeted with warm, sunny conditions and a JumboTron, which gave spectators and players the opportunity to watch replays of the action on a giant screen. The Bears flag teams were divided into Team One and Team Two. Team One won twice, by scores of 21-7 and 21-14. Levi Williamson stole the ball from the Giants’ quarterback and ran for a touchdown. He was also solid on defence. Justin Hartley rambled 40 yards with the ball and came close to scoring a major, while Aaron Liddle and Brian Pol led at the quarterback position. On three occasions, Andrew Mijinke zig-zagged down the field to score touchdowns. Bridgette Malin and Colin Hartley helped out with key blocking and flagging. Bears Team Two was involved in a pair of action-packed games. Madeline Hutton-Ashcroft and Owen Sieben led the way with their leadership and playmaking skills. The blocking of Toby Landucci and Keaghan Hurley led to Jedakai Hurley scoring touchdowns. Atom The Bears fell 26-6 to the Giants. In the first quarter Keaton Althuizen ran the ball well, and Jake Schmidt made a fine tackle in the Chilliwack backfield. To start the second quarter, Brandon Brynjolfson ran the ball 10
yards for a first down, while Brodie Tarling made some good tackles. The third quarter saw Greg Brown push a Chilliwack ball carrier out of bounds, preventing a touchdown. Quarterback Josh Williams got hurt and had to leave the game. His replacement, Brynjolfson, ran the ball 95 yards to the Chilliwack fiveyard line. He was also hurt on the play, so Brown came in at the quarterback position and handed the ball off to Keaton Althuizen, who scored the Bears’ lone touchdown of the day. Peewee The Bears scored a pair of touchdowns but ended up losing 44-14 to the Giants. Junior Bantam The Bears fell behind 24-0 after the first quarter and ended up losing 460 to the Giants. North Langley threatened early in the second quarter, with big runs by Brandon Sang and Juan Jae Boo. Sang took the ball from midfield all the way to the Chilliwack 22-yard line, but the Bears couldn’t score. Most of the rest of the second quarter saw Chilliwack’s offence take control, slowed by persistent tackling by North Langley’s Sang, Tyler Aasen, David Nathan, and Brenden Haddow. The Bears caught the Giants off guard to start the second half, courtesy of a 20-yard option play with Boo passing the ball to Aasen, after taking a hand-off from Kenzie Oram. Later in the third quarter, the Bears breached the Giants’ 20-yard line thanks to impressive running
by Sang and a reception by Corey Jackson on a sharp pass by Darian Pritchard. That was as close as the Bears got to scoring a touchdown. Neither team found paydirt in the final quarter as the Bears still couldn’t claw their way through the Chilliwack defence. Bantam The Giants led 14-0 after the first quarter en route to a 42-7 win over the Giants. The Bears ventured into Chilliwack territory early in the second half, but after they got the ball back, the Giants once again found a way to score and add to their lead. At this point, the Bears strung together four first downs before quarterback David Fredo ran the ball in for a touchdown to end the half. After the break, Chilliwack quickly scored two more touchdowns to steal momentum away. Late in the game, the Bears’ offence threatened to score, but the drive ended on a fumble. The Bears generated excitement during the game with some big runs by Mook Kim, David Fredo, Braeden Pritchard, and Joe Brake. Pritchard, Brake, and Michael Chan burned up the turf on kick returns. The defence had their hands full tackling the Giants, but Kim, Brake, Chan, Sam Cleary, Luke Wildeman, Alex Malin, Adrian Clements, and Evan York rose to the challenge. The Chilliwack quarterback, R.J. Begg, was actually a North Langley product, having played with many of the current Bears two years previously.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: A powerful week for relationships,marriage,businesspartnerships,dealing with the public, opportunities, possible fame. What transpires now will have “sweet echoes” for three months. Love relationships are helped by October’s high level of sexual desire. Business partnerships might go through a process of re-arrangement, buyout, or balancing of assets/ownership. (All through October, with “lingering trailers” to January 2011.) Be diplomatic, flexible; if you insist on your way, you might turn opportunities into refusals, potential partners into competitors. Romance Sunday! Taurus April 20-May 20: The monthly emphasis lies on employment, chores, machinery, dependents and health. A new job can arise Wednesday onward. An important affectionate relationship might be developing – although you could begin to have a few mild doubts about your commitment to this bond. The same might be said about a contract, negotiation, relocation opportunity, or litigation. This indecision is due to a temporary factor. By late November, December, you’ll return to certainty about bonding with a person, place, agreement, etc., so remain optimistic. Excitement or disagreement grows Friday/Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: Romance (with a coworker?) pleasure, beauty are at the top of your wish list. You’re on a winning streak – you can succeed in speculation, gaming, sports and creative ventures. All these, from romance to creativity, are marked by a new sobriety, slowness and carefulness. Good, these will eventually bring depth, strength and durability to any love or venture you undertake. Your health needs attention. Your career ambitions will get an autumn boost (be active but patient: fastest progress comes in December). Rest early week. Wednesday to Saturday brings romantic (et al) excitement!

Cancer June 21-July 22: The accent lies on home, children, security, gardening, nutrition, Mother Nature, foundations and basics. A streak of romance runs through your days (e.g., this Friday/Saturday) – right into next January. If you’re happily married, you’ll bask in love of children, creative joys, nature’s beauty, sports and/or simple pleasures, speculation, gambling, etc. Chase money Sunday. A Monday disagreement might be building with your mate over domestic/property concerns. It’s minor, but points to larger issues. Run errands, chat Tuesday/Wednesday. Friday p.m. starts an intriguing weekend! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: It’s a busy time but not an important time, Leo. Do paperwork, errands, chat, travel, email, schedule (especially Wednesday/ Thursday) but rest on a deeper level. Pause to watch nature, to meditate, contemplate, or simply to drink in family joys. (You’re a sweet’n’sour mixture in domestic arenas – after October, only the sweet will remain.) You shine Sunday, your charisma and energy surge. Chase money carefully Monday to Wednesday. (Your work habits need an overhaul: work smarter, not harder.) Friday afternoon begins a long, deep, renewing weekend – family reunions are blessed! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Money, earnings, buying/selling fill this month. Your days bring interesting errands, casual meetings, paperwork, communications – a casual friendship could develop into a light romance (likely Oct. 8-10). You might sense that under a surface of free and easy flirtation a deeper “turn” is lurking – and it is. (Ditto in all areas – lightness hides depths. E.g., light communications or errands/travel could lead to an investment.) For students and intellectuals, October is a superb month for research and writing. Rest, lie low Sunday. Your energy and charisma rise Monday eve to Wednesday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your charisma, energy, effectiveness and confidence soar, especially Wednesday afternoon to the weekend. Get out, start major projects, tackle difficult situations. See and be seen – be there in person. You’ll impress others. A sensual relationship attracts you all autumn – or you might pursue a luxury purchase. Either way, don’t be discouraged if mild delays occur next week to midto late November: success will still be the outcome. Sunday’s social, happy. But retreat, rest and plan mid-day Monday to mid-day Wednesday. If you have to insist Monday, it signals future incompatibility. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Rest, lie low, replenish energies. Life is sending a mixed message: your sexual/partnership magnetism is high, but the energy you need to act on it is low. Reflect on what you really want in love, so when your energy rises (Oct. 23 onward) you can chase the right person. There’s no rush – your unusual attractiveness will last into early January. Meanwhile, attend to neglected duties, governmental or institutional contacts, and administrative chores. Follow charitable urges. Drink spiritual breaths, envision your future. Tuesday, happiness! Saturday highlights that magnetism! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Wishes come true, but in a quiet, sober way. Optimism, light romance, popularity, entertainment and social joys fill this month. Many of your deepest desires stay hidden, which can lead to a clandestine attraction, or might simply leave you quiet and contemplative despite your happiness. Realize that now to late 2012, your real wish is for money. Start thinking of ways to make this one come true. Your real estate luck returns, now to late January. Sunday’s mellow, loving. Monday brings a disagreement about money and the future. Midweek offers joy, friends. Rest, Friday eve, Saturday.

Oct. 3 - Oct. 9 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The accent lies on ambition, career, prestige relationships, your status in the community.You’ll meet with bigwigs or authorities, or feel their influence, especially Wednesday to Friday. If meeting, put on your charm – your social skills are tops now into next January. You might meet a “just right” romantic prospect in a group – if Monday to Wednesday, he/she will be obviously drawn to you. If late month – Oct. 22 to 24 — you will be the pursuer. Life’s depths, sex, finances, major commitments intrigue you Sunday. Wisdom Monday/Tuesday. Happiness Friday eve, Saturday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: For you, October is always loving, gentle, wise and compassionate. But this October your sweet mood can be slightly sullied by either 1) a temptation to use romance as a rung on the ladder of ambition, or 2) frustration that true love is unavailable. Realize that temptation and denial/ frustration are two manifestations of the same thing. (True love is never denied, but blocked by temptation.) Or, you might find true love now, especially Sunday (opposites attract) Monday-Wednesday (lust) Wednesday-Friday (gentle mind-meld) or Friday/ Saturday (nervous romance). An interesting week! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: You swim in life’s depths now: subconscious urges rise, your dreams intrigue, hunches prove accurate – rely on them when making consequential decisions. Commitments are serious, in finances, intimacy, lifestyle areas. What you do now can change your life. That applies particularly to love of a marriage/wedding kind, and to legal affairs touching on earnings and/or possessions (Friday/Saturday). A few months ago you had powerful ambitions, optimism about your prospects – grab those again, because you’re on a lucky four-month roll in career, worldly ambitions. Opportunities Tuesday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
