One man was arrested, but will not be charged after firing a shot in the air while RCMP officers approached a South Langley home Wednesday.

Surrey RCMP property crimes unit members were doing an investigation in the area of 198th Street and 8th Avenue when they heard a gunshot, just before 9 a.m.

“There was a shot fired from a residence in the area,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

The police went towards the home they thought the shot came from. A 41-year-old Langley man with his four-year-old son came out of the residence.

The child is okay, and was taken by the Ministry of Children and Families, Marks reported.

The man was arrested and was held in custody overnight. He was released Thursday morning.

Heavily armed officers in the carrier and an SUV entered the property just before 10:30 a.m., for a search of the house.

Marks said they were looking for anyone else who might have been inside.

More police were set to search the home on Thursday, once they had a warrant.

A firearm was found and has been seized.

Police are actively searching for a young woman suspected in a string of car thefts, possibly linked to the carjacking of two young children.

Supt. Derek Cooke, the head of the Langley RCMP detachment, told Langley Township council Monday that the woman is thought to be responsible for eight separate car thefts in the Walnut Grove area.

The cars were left warming up in driveways and someone simply ran up, slid in behind the wheel, and drove off.

The suspect, a 20-year-old woman who is wanted on Canada-wide warrants for previous charges, is a definite suspect for the

third of three car thefts that took place on “Because of the proximity [between the Jan. 18. two thefts], there’s a good chance there She is thought to have taken a Pontiac G6 might be a connection there,” said Cpl. from a driveway in the 9400 block of 210 Holly Marks, a spokesperson for the Langley Street.

Local Roadshow Expert Examines Some Gold Jewellery

After many very successful shows around the lower mainland, The Roadshow is now here in Langley, BC. So you had better search through your attics and garages, go through your lock boxes and jewellery, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold and silver.

jewellery she was never going to wear anyways.

Expert Elijah Gold explains, “We have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at. He added, “The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”

During a show near Toronto, a woman came in with a jewellery box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. “I don’t wear jewellery,” explained Barbara Engles, “so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell it”. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for

At another Roadshow event, a woman, named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her as a young child by her grandfather.

She finally decided to come in to the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare.

Roadshow consultant Perry Bruce explains “We had uncovered an 1871 Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!! She had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver content”.

She explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can finally afford

to renovate my kitchen”. Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”.

Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures.

Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by the Roadshow collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel Trains and a

variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition.

If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they often make offers to buy them.

A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box.

We were able to locate a collector for that specific toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys.

So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, we will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

See you at the Roadshow!

Workers are cleaning up the broken bricks, tin, and spoiled food from the burnedout IGA site in the Fort.

Just as locals were beginning to complain about the food rotting in the rubble of the Fort Langley IGA, the site is being cleaned up.

On Thursday morning, work crews armed with everything from shovels to a backhoe arrived at the site on Glover Road.

They began sorting the scorched rubble left by the early January blaze that levelled the Fort landmark.

Rotting food will go into one container, metal another, and then brick, wood, and concrete will be cleared away.

The cleanup has come just in time for some local residents, who were beginning to worry about the smell of the rotting food, and possible rodent infestation.

On Monday, Township council voted to send a letter to Fraser Health about a possible health hazard.

“This is not an insurance issue, this is a health issue,” said Councillor Charlie Fox. The smell is not making things pleasant for those in downtown Fort Langley, he added.

“The stench is increasing significantly.”

Sara Castro, owner of a clothing store directly opposite the site, said she noticed the smell a couple of weeks ago. She hasn’t seen or heard of any rats on the site, although that’s a concern for other nearby business owners.

Jim Dyck of Frontier Building Supplies, said the smell in the first week was simply that of a burned building.

Matthew Claxton Langley Advance

“The smell has changed from smoke to a bit of a garbage problem,” Dyck said.

The cold weather since Sunday has damped down the issue, but during warm wet weather last week, it was getting pretty bad, he said.

Others didn’t really notice much of a smell.

Diane Morrison of Wendel’s Bookstore and Cafe, across the store, said she didn’t detect a smell during the past month.

However, she said she and the other merchants all welcomed the arrival of the crews to clean away the debris.

“It’s a relief to the merchants because this is a sign of progress,” she said.

Everyone is looking forward to seeing the Lee family rebuild the store they’ve run on the site since the 1970s.

“You don’t know what you’re missing until it’s gone,” Morrison said.

If her cafe ran out of cilantro or some other small item, they could always run across the street and quickly restock from the IGA. Now they face a drive out of the village.

Scott Coburn of IGA said it is still the Lee family’s plan to rebuild on the same site.

What rises there will likely be different from the old IGA, as it will have to conform to historical building guidelines implemented in the last few decades.

Township council

Legal action promised to block development Residents made heated pleas for changes, but council went ahead with plans for condos.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Willoughby residents intend to take Langley Township to court in the wake of a yes vote for a controversial construction project.

On Monday night, the council voted in favour of a rezoning and development permit to allow the construction of Athenry Development’s planned Irish Cultural Centre, along with a condo project and some ground-level stores. Three of the buildings will be built along the northern side of the site at 208th Street and 88th

Avenue. Residents’ main complaint is that they will be overshadowed, with the development to their south leaving them in the dark for much of the coldest part of the year.

Resident Robert Duncan said despite changes moving the condos back and reducing their height, they would still be too close. On Sunday, his back windows let in brilliant winter sunshine, he said.

“That’s the last I’m going to see of it,” he said.

Changes to the project in the past few weeks, which lowered the height of the roofs to just under 50 feet, and moved the condos to about 33 feet from neighbouring fences, did not go far enough for the neighbours.

John Cameron spoke on behalf of the McCamley family, which has been working on the Irish Cultural Centre plan for years.

He said that the developer’s changes have tried to accommodate what the residents wanted.

Councillor Kim Richter and Mayor Rick Green opposed the rezoning, and Coun.

Bob Long joined them in voting against the development permit.

Hank Der, a neighbour of the site who has been one of the main organizers against the plan, believes the resident have a good legal case to make.

“Given the numerous legal issues raised during last night’s council meeting by residents, lawyers, and council members themselves, the approval for the Athenry Development will be questioned and challenged by citizens and the courts for legitimacy,” Der said via email after the meeting.

Yoga enthusiast Jane Huff struck a pose Monday afternoon, while cutting a cake commemorating her 365th consecutive day of attending classes at the Bikram Yoga Langley location.

Year of yoga - no sweat Perseverance and the drive to improve were behind a Langley woman reaching a yoga milestone.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Jane Huff has proven she can take the heat, day, after day, after day, after day.

The 45-year-old small business owner from Langley attended her first Bikram yoga session back on Feb. 1, 2010.

On Monday, Jan. 31, she celebrated her 365th consecutive day of practising yoga at the Bikram location in Walnut Grove, by putting her multitasking skills on display.

She performed a difficult pose in the studio’s lobby while cutting a cake commemorating her achievement.

Bikram Yoga is a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises practised

over 90 minutes inside a room heated to 41 degrees Celsius.

And if you consider Bikram yoga to be the simple endeavor of stretching in a hot room, think again. It’s very tough, as Huff can attest to after a very trying first class.

Even though she played basketball competitively in high school, cycled across Canada when she was in her early 20s, and in 2005 got into running, completing all 16 of the Timex running series, Huff’s athletic background didn’t prepare her for the suffocating heat of the local Bikram studio.

“I was lying on the mat, thinking, ‘Oh, what have I got myself into!’” said Huff.

The humidity, heat, and not being able to control her breathing were her toughest obstacles. Huff performed every pose, albeit very poorly, she admitted.

“They didn’t look very good,” she chuckled.

Truth elusive at Township hall It seems there are no easy answers to be had at Langley Township to explain the messy relations between mayor and council.

This week, the Langley Advance received an emphatic “no” to a Freedom of Information Act request made late in January.

We were searching for a rumoured report sitting somewhere in the Township archives, the so-called Lidstone Report. Apparently, it details the circumstances that led to Mayor Rick Green being censured by his own council last year.

Or perhaps it’s a recipe for chocolate tapioca pudding. We can’t say for certain, as we were denied access for legal reasons. The Lidstone Report remains locked away.

It was our hope that there might be some key in the report to unlock the causes of council’s present dysfunction. One thread goes back to obscure conflict of interest allegations dating to the 1990s. Another to the surprise victory of Green over former mayor Kurt Alberts two years ago.

The accusations and shouting matches since then could be attributed largely to differences in style, in personality, and in politics.

We got some answers on those issues from the Berry-Habkirk report.

But with the RCMP involved, the Township is now under more scrutiny than ever before. Frankly, we’d like to know why.

Who dredged up a 15-year-old issue and sent documents to the mayor? Why did this get blown up into a major issue? When was the complaint to the RCMP launched? What, exactly, is the nature of the complaint?

We are now entering the early stages of the next municipal election campaign.

Potential candidates are getting ready to run.

Unless we learn more – from the police or from Township council itself – many voters will go to the polls next November with unanswered questions.

Crazy cyclists not the majority Painful truth

After I got home, while I waited for the feeling to return to my toes, I thought about the Matthew Claxton argument against more bike lanes that you mclaxton@langleyadvance.com often hear from drivers these days.

Cyclists are reckless. They’re crazy. They weave in and out of traffic. They jump on and Cyclists are not entirely sane. off of sidewalks. They cause car accidents and Sure, green transport, zero emissions, ride off. healthy lifestyle, fresh air, blah blah blah.

Zero Avenue

Truck traffic

Time to clamp down on abuse

Dear Editor, Dump truck drivers have clearly taken ownership of 16th Avenue with their attitude. I drive that road occasionally, and find dump truck drivers particularly aggressive with their 100,000-pound loads. They tailgate as if local people using the road are pests that need to get out of their way.

The more loads they can move in a day, the more money they make. I would be against banning them from 16th Avenue, because that would simply put them driving recklessly somewhere else.

Instead, the best idea would be to step up enforcement along the entire road, from East Abbotsford all the way to White Rock. Pull them all over and charge them with any infraction, and take them to court.

The death of that poor fellow on 16th Avenue [Mountie: ‘He killed that individual’, Jan. 21, Langley Advance] is enough. It is time to clamp down.

Clayton Randle, Langley

In my estimation and experience, those humps are not doing a good enough job of moving traffic to 16th Avenue, a TransLink road designated as four lanes more than 30 years ago.

The speed humps on Zero Avenue were partially paid for by ICBC, to reduce speed and accidents. Why would anyone suggest going back to the carnage that existed before their installation?

Why the push for Zero Avenue, a rural road which is designated a Township Cycling Route, at one time part of a Horse Trail Network, and which should really only be serving the local traffic, to become a high speed expressway?

To alleviate the frustration of self-important commuters from Abbotsford and Chilliwack, at the expense of residents and other users of Zero Avenue?

Township council

Mayor cause of council infighting Dear Editor, Citizens have called on councillors to share the blame and stop the infighting that has been escalating over the past two years at Township hall.

But, how should the councillors make peace? Simply take Mayor Green at his word and follow his lead?

I thought the point of having one mayor and eight councillors was to have an

Animal welfare

Dead dogs testify to greed

Dear Editor, We awoke to the horrendous news of greed, savagery, and the wanton killing of 100 sled dogs – how utterly disgusting, beastly, and cruel to man’s best friend.

The gruesome deed will reflect on Whistler, B.C., and the entire nation, as it should.

Why wasn’t word circulated regarding the necessity of homes for these animals? Hundreds of us animal lovers would have rallied to the cause with homes and the necessary funds for feeding. Why didn’t the veterinarian who refused to dispatch these animals say something?

Much of the wonderful publicity gained by the Winter Games will be besmirched by this disgusting deed.

Mike Harvey, Langley

Vehicle theft

Don’t leave cars unattended

Dear Editor, Do people not know it is illegal to leave keys in the car or to leave the motor running while a vehicle is unattended [Car thieves leave cautionary tale, Jan. 21 Letters, Langley Advance]? Lazy people always blame everything but themselves. The police have enough to do without filing silly reports resulting from sloth and illegal behaviour.

Elections

FPTP being tested in Quebec

Dear Editor, A court case is unfolding in Quebec, challenging the validity of the First Past the Post (FPTP) electoral system.

The case will be heard Feb. 8. Our right to vote should provide for meaningful participation and significant representation. Both are consistently violated by FPTP voting.

uneven number of people come together to debate matters, make decisions, and carry out actions based on the majority opinion of the group.

If a matter falls before council, I hope there would be a spectrum of opinions, an attentive ear to the community, and passionate debate. I don’t expect council to reach consensus on every issue, and I don’t expect to be happy with every decision made on our behalf, but when the votes are in, I do expect the decision to be carried out quickly and efficiently.

From what several independent voices are saying, it sounds like the turmoil on council stems from the mayor not doing his job after votes have been cast.

If individuals on council find their vote in the minority, they’re certainly still entitled to their opinion (and we can probably afford them a bit of pouting), but their duty to abide by the Community Charter is what should determine their actions moving forward.

In this matter, I applaud our councillors, and call on them to continue in their fight to uphold the Community Charter until His Worship either steps up to or is relieved of the responsibilities he’s ignored.

Anything less would be a great disservice to both our community and democracy.

2011 FINANCIAL PLAN OPEN HOUSE

The City of Langley will be hosting a Financial Plan Open House on Wednesday, February 9th at 7:00 pm at the Langley Community Music School (4899 207 Street). The 2011 Financial Plan currently has a gap of $595,555 between total revenues and planned expenditures which would equate to a 2.99% increase in property taxes to balance the budget. Including utility rate increases, the impact on an average multi-family home (Assessed at $220,708) would be an increase of 2.80% or $34 and an average single family home (assessed at $455,798) would see an increase of 3.77% or $92.

City Council will be holding a Committee of the Whole meeting at 7 pm on Monday, February 21st in the Council Chambers where a public presentation of the Financial Plan will be made. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity for the public to share their views with City Council on how the shortfall should be addressed. Additional information can be found on our website at www.city.langley.bc.ca

Langley man finds egg-onomic opportunity

After years in the heavy equipment field, he’s going into the egg business abroad.

by Andrew Harvey

Special to the Langley Advance

It only takes a few moments meeting with the 55-year-old Walnut Grove’s Tom Leavitt to find out he is an ideas guy – a visionary of sorts.

Having worked with Finning Canada for 16 years, in 2001 Leavitt saw an opportunity for a business of his own.

Along with his brother, Brian, the aspiring entrepreneur purchased the materials-handling (or forklift) division from Finning and created the Langley-based Leavitt Machinery.

Now in its 10th year of business, Leavitt Machinery has doubled its employee base to 320, opened eight new branches, and burgeoned operations into Washington State, Tom Leavitt explained in an interview with the Langley Advance.

Despite the success of his company, the father of five does not keep all his eggs in one basket – so to speak.

In his latest business venture, Leavitt has crossed over from heavy machinery to a successful egg farm in the Philippines.

Each day the self-sufficient farm with

Tom Leavitt (centre) with some of the workers helping him set up an egg farm in Haiti. indigenous Filipino workers produces 400 dozen eggs from 5,000 chickens, all helping to sustain and stimulate the local economy.

Seeing the trade thrive in the Philippines, Leavitt has his attention set on another country that has a greater

“The business model is something I’m going to duplicate in Haiti,” he said.

“My son served a mission for our church there, and I have come to know and love the people.”

plus env & tax

Even before the devastating earthquake commoved the country in January 2010, Leavitt had his aim set on this Caribbean island.

“The earthquake has only helped me increase my focus on Haiti,” he added.

With only three per cent of Haiti’s eggs laid domestically, Leavitt has set up means to produce home-grown agriculture with a secured 100-acre farm outside of Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti – a suburb of Port-Au-Prince.

The Haitian farm will be a larger scale than its Filipino counterpart, with production starting at 10,000 chicken layers, staffed by local farmhands, and Leavitt’s Haitian-born, American-educated business associate Regionel Paul.

Determined to give Haitians support through agriculture, Leavitt is seeking local volunteers with expertise in hydroponics and accounting, as well as dairy, goat, and poultry farming. Their expertise could help lay the groundwork for operations in Haiti.

Comparing the two farms, Leavitt remarked: “With Haiti it is a more involved process. It’s tougher due to the lack of infrastructure.”

For this reason Leavitt is open to those willing to offer their know-how to foster long-term benefits.

Leavitt and Paul will be visiting the Filipino farm to gain further insight for the larger Haitian agenda.

Kudos are also owed to Dr. Roberta Neault, president of Aldergrove-based Life Strategies. The career consulting and training business was lauded as a leader in career development by the industry.

Singer vies for telethon spot

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

T

wo Langley singers will be on stage this weekend doing their part to help Variety – The Children’s Charity.

One of the singers has become wellknown to Langley Advance readers through the past few years. That’s 12-year-old Cole Armour of Willoughby, and he’s been invited as a special guest to perform three songs during the Variety’s Got Talent singoff at the Red Robinson Show Theatre in Coquitlam.

He promises a Vegas-style performance, complete with six dancers, and is excited to be rubbing shoulders with the judges including Amy Foster (David Foster’s daughter), Mike Reno, Vicki Gabereau, Dal Richards, Squire Barnes, B.J. Cook, and Howard Blank.

“His [Cole’s] little name is getting out Cole Armour among all the big wigs, and he’s loving the attention,” said his father Ron, also a professional musician.

But Cole’s not the only Langleyite performing before the live Variety audience and panel of judges tonight (Friday).

He’s being joined on the stage by 22year-old Shylo Sharity, one of 11 finalists (picked from upwards of 400 entries, 13 to 29 years old, from all over B.C.) participating in tonight’s show, and possibly earn a spot on the Variety Show of Hearts Telethon on Feb. 12.

Sharity has toured with a group called Winter Harp, won the Walnut Grove Secondary’s Idol-like contest, and appeared as a singer on the TV series Dead Like Me. Currently a communications major at Trinity Western University, Sharity is an aspiring singer/songwriter excited about her prospects of being on the telethon, which will be televised Feb. 12 and 13.

Tickets for tonight’s 7:45 p.m. show are $10 and available from Ticketmaster.

Westcoast Harmony is accepting bookings for Monday, Feb. 14 and has five quartets lined up for that day.

Blushing is the typical reaction when the group finds its quarry and begins singing.

They go to the intended recipient no matter where that person may be, based on information provided by the person who booked them.

Dear Anne,

clippings. Five centimetres should work well. Any weed roots under the mulch will probably re-sprout, but new weeds won’t.

Grass clipping mulches hold moisture in the soil, return nutriments (especially nitrogen), and attract earthworms to aerate the ground. Some people say grass clippings attract slugs, but I’ve not noticed any great increase in numbers.

Grass clippings get thin and patchy by late winter, as birds and other wildlife

like to forage in them. The mulch needs to be replenished every spring.

If you can’t get grass clippings, weed-free compost is also a good mulch. Home compost is not usually weed-free, since it doesn’t usually reach temperatures high enough to kill seed.

But organic gardeners generally prefer to use their own compost for vegetables.

Many gardeners find commercial compost a real labour-saver. Because processing takes place at very high temperatures it is almost invariably free of weeds. It’s also extremely nutritious and for clay soil gardeners, the mixes that include a little sand are great soil conditioners.

Clover is actually a soilbuilder, because it fixes nitrogen from the air. Some organic gardeners sow it in fall and compost it or dig it in (deeply) in spring.

A few people grow massive amounts of parsley for making pesto, either alone or with basil. But parsley shades out vegetable seedlings, just as weeds do.

Dear Anne,

“The grocery had primroses for sale. The tag said ‘Primula acaulis. Annual’.

On the back it said ‘full sun.’

I googled it and found that Primula acaulis is a common primrose – a perennial that should be planted in shade.”

Mary, Vancouver t is confusing. The Primrose acaulis sold in grocery stores at this time of year isn’t the traditional kind. It has been selected over many years to develop enormous blossoms and vibrant colours, and in the process, the basic hardiness (and almost all the scent) has been lost.

In the garden here, they behave like annuals – generally they dwindle away and die. Since much of the selection process was in California, it’s likely they developed more sun tolerance.

ucky recipients will have the pleasure of watching country girls, outfitted in jeans, chaps, and cowboys hats, dance for them on Valentine’s Day. The Gabby’s Girls Dance Team is putting on a Dance-O-Gram Valentine’s Day fundraiser Feb. 14 in their continued efforts to qualify for the World Line Dance Championships, which will be held in Orlando, Fla. in 2012.

The Langley dance troupe is adding a country twist to the day. Rather than having the conventional chocolates and flowers delivered to your sweetie, you can send the Gabby’s Girls, who will rent out their dance talents in half-hour increments and show up in full cowgirl gear to workplaces or other destinations.

The group members will perform one of their dances but first, they’ll push a red cowboy hat, with the Valentine’s name written on it, onto the recipient’s head.

The fundraiser is the brainchild of Gabby’s Girl Tara Kurtz, and her fellow dancers were eager to jump on board.

Ready to do boot-scoot-boogie on Valentine’s Day are Gabby’s Girls, left to right, Amber Corkum, Meaghan Rodger, Courtney Hogarth, Melanie Bolderson, Anne York, and Lindsay Frankewiesz.

“We want to let people know, if there is someone they care about, we are willing to shock and embarrass them in front of others,” joked Gabby’s Girls founder Courtney Hogarth.

The team hopes to raise $20,000 by January 2012 for the world competition. To qualify, Gabby’s Girls must do well at a trio of 2011 competitions: Calgary in April, Portland in July, and Seattle in November. They’ll need travel costs, and entry fees of about $200 per dancer, per competition.

Cost for the Valentine’s Day DanceO-Grams is $50 at any location in the Fraser Valley, with an additional $25 for anywhere west of the Port Mann Bridge. For an extra $25 the Gabby’s Girls will also bring flowers and chocolates.

All of the performances will be videotaped and posted on the Gabby’s Girls website.

Been meaning to check out the Fat City Swing Friday dances?

Well, the organizers, Omer Mahmood and Shannon Braithwaite, have announced that at the end of this season, the events will cease.

“You have five more chances to dance with us before we close the doors,” explained Mahmood, affectionately dubbed the mayor of Fat City.

The dances provided a monthly opportunity to enjoy swing dancing and often featured live music.

“Fat City Swing as a venue has hosted over 100 live bands, taught hundreds of individuals swing dancing, and provided a social alternative in the heart of Langley where everyone was accepted and welcomed,” Mahmood noted.

People still have five chances to attend a Fat City Swing Friday.

When Scott Robertson’s Swing Patrol performs for the Feb. 11 dance, it’s a non-licensed event and open to all ages.

“A night in Fat City promises to be a toe-tappin’, knee-slappin’, finger snappin’, earthquakin’, booty-shakin’ rollickin’ good time to be had by all,” Robertson said.

More information will be coming soon on the dances March 18, April 15, May 13 and June 10. The dances have always started with lessons at 8 p.m. followed by an evening of dance.

After June, the Friday dances will become part of Langley history, having hosted some top talent.

“They have welcomed dancers and instructors from all over the globe,” Mahmood noted.

As well, Fat City hosted the Langley Jazz Festival, Swingin’ in the Park and lessons at local schools.

Mahmood and Braithwaite will continue Fat City as a company, offering bookings, demonstrations and lessons, but the Friday evening dances at the West Langley Hall cease at the end of the ninth season. Find out more at www.fatcityswing.com.

Cutting remarks on knives N gers around the handle.

On a good quality knife, with a full tang (the steel of the blade runs through the length of the handle), the balance point will be about the first inch of where the blade extends from the handle.

It may seem awkward at first to grasp the base of the blade in your hand, but after regular practice, it will become comfortable. Holding the knife otherwise, such as with the index finger extended on top when cutting, will reduce your control, and increase the chance of injury. I recommend searching the internet to get a visual of this technique for holding a chef’s knife.

Placement of the opposite hand (the one holding the food) is also just as vital to prevent injury. Grasp the prod-

othing is better than having a personal one-on-one lesson on cutting with a knife, but I will try to do my best in writing.

When holding a chef’s knife, it is important to have it balanced properly in your hand, to reduce fatigue and improve control. To find this balance point, carefully place approximately the middle of the flat surface of the knife’s blade on your extended index finger, a couple of inches over a cutting board. Slowly move the knife so that your finger travels up or down the knife’s blade (flat side!), to find the position where it is completely balanced by your one finger.

At that point, place the thumb of the same hand on the opposite side of the blade, and wrap your remaining fin-

Development of a Pest Management Plan Application Number: MOT – IP – PMP - 2011 Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, South Coast Region 7818 – Sixth Street, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4N8 Attention: Amber Smith Telephone: 604-660-0339 Fax: 604-660-2181 Email: amber.mt.smith@gov.bc.ca The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to control invasive plants and/or noxious weeds on provincial Crown land in the South Coastal Mainland of B.C., including areas within or adjacent to high-risk sites (e.g. ecologically important natural areas), along transportation corridors, resource tenures, gravel pits and recreational sites.

The PMP applies to areas located within the Metro Vancouver Regional District, the Fraser Valley Regional District, the Southwest half of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District inclusive of Squamish but not including Lillooet and the lower portion of the Sunshine Coast Regional District, in the vicinity of Sechelt.

The pest management methods proposed for use include manual/mechanical and cultural methods, biological control agents and the use of pesticides within the area to which the PMP applies. The common name and trade name of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: glyphosate (e.g. Vantage Plus Max), triclopyr (e.g. Garlon Ultra), aminopyralid (e.g. Milestone), acetic acid (e.g. Ecoclear) and chondrostereum purpureum (e.g. Chontrol Peat Paste). Selective application methods include: cut and paint or inject, backpack or ATV foliar spraying, wick-on, basal bark, squirt bottle and stem injection.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2016.

Copies of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be reviewed at the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure South Coast Regional Office, 7818 – Sixth Street, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4N8 or online at: http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/invasiveplant/.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the Pest Management Plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the address above within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

Olympians dominate meet Meet records, medals, club records, and FINA High Point Awards were in abundance for members of the Langley Olympians Swim Club (LOSC) last weekend.

LOSC swimmers raced to top placings at the 2011 CDSC New Year’s Invitational Swim meet, held at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre.

Olympians head coach Brian Metcalfe Brian Metcalfe called the meet “a huge success.”

Hillary Metcalfe and Justin Schramm, both 12, led the way as they each won a FINA High Point award at the meet.

Metcalfe scored 581 points in the 200 metre breaststroke by swimming to a time of 2:44.81 while Schramm scored 441 points in the 400m freestyle in 4:38.05.

Metcalfe also set a new meet record with her 200m breaststroke time, and pulled in an additional seven gold medals in the 400m IM, 200m freestyle (meet record), 100m breaststroke (meet record), 50m breaststroke (meet record), 200m backstroke (meet record), 100m freestyle, and 400m freestyle (club record).

Schramm managed to

collect another four top spots in the 100m fly (meet record), 400m IM (meet and club record), 200m freestyle (club record), and 200m fly (meet and club records).

Michael MacDonald, 15, joined his LOSC team mates by grabbing an impressive eight firstplace swims in the 100m fly, 50m freestyle, 400m IM, 200m freestyle (meet record), 200m backstroke (meet record), 100m backstroke, 100m freestyle (meet record), and 400m freestyle.

Other Olympians finishing in the top three included: • Kennedy Douglas, 11 – 1st in the 11 & under 200m breaststroke, 200m freestyle, 100m breaststroke, and 400m freestyle, and 3rd in the 100m freestyle; • Robyn Nakano, 11 – 1st in the 11 & under 100m fly and 200m fly, 2nd in the 400m IM; • Martha Metcalfe, 14 – 1st in the 100m fly, 400m IM, 200m freestyle, 200m fly, and 400m freestyle, 2nd in the 200m breaststroke, and 3rd in the 200m backstroke; • Kate Thomson, 15 – 1st in the 100m breaststroke, 2nd in the 200m breaststroke, 400m IM, 200m fly, and 400m freestyle, and 3rd in the 200m backstroke; • Siobhan Board, 13 – 2nd in the 50m backstroke and 3rd in the 100m backstroke;

• Ryan Moloney, 15 – 2nd in the 200m backstroke and 3rd in the 200m fly and 200m freestyle; • Trevor Voisey, 12 – 2nd in the 400m IM and 3rd in the 400m freestyle; • Emily d’Entremont, 11 – 3rd in the 100m fly; • Renae Ledoux, 11 – 3rd in the 50m freestyle and 400m freestyle; • Gabriella Szalkai, 11 – 2nd in the 200m fly, and; • Meredith Clark, 11 – 3rd in the 400m freestyle.

Two of the youngest Olympians, 10-year-olds Mackenzie Dong and Lisa Grier, qualified for the B.C. provincial AAA championships with their swims in the 400m freestyle.

Dong also finished the meet with 100 per cent best times along with Siobhan Board, Emily d’Entremont, Kennedy Douglas, and Justin Schramm.

“We all raced exceptionally well, with focus and determination.

Chiefs look to rebound

Hopefully for the Chiefs, their road to redemption began last night (Thursday) against Victoria, as the local juniors look to gain momentum heading into the playoffs.

January wasn’t great for the Chiefs, who won just five of 13 games during the month.

At press time Thursday afternoon, the Chiefs’ record was 27-20-1-7.

They remain in third place in the British Columbia Hockey League’s Coastal Conference.

The Langley juniors return to home ice Saturday when they host the Coastal Conference-leading Powell River Kings at the Langley Events Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.

The Kings are 38-8-3-2 and lead the entire 16-team league with 81 points.

Huskies hoopsters take bite out of Spartans TWU varsity teams won some and lost some last weekend.

The Trinity Western University Spartans hung with the nation’s topranked CIS women’s basketball team for the first quarter of Saturday’s game, but that was about it.

The Saskatchewan Huskies dominated after that en route to an 89-42 win at the Langley Events Centre.

Saskatchewan handed TWU its most lopsided loss of the year and put an exclamation point on a successful weekend for the Huskies.

The loss drops Trinity Western to 1-19 while the victory improves Saskatchewan’s record to 16-2 on the year.

Kevin Tuohy is lucky number seven for the Langley Chiefs in the scholarship department.

The 5’7” 160-pound defenceman has committed to the University of Connecticut for the fall of 2011.

Tuohy, 19, is originally from the New York area, so being back on the East Coast should help him make the transition from junior A to NCAA hockey.

That move will also be helped by the fact Tuohy’s teammate, and Chiefs captain, Trevor Gerling will also be entering his freshman year for the Huskies next season.

“Kevin has a game suited for the NCAA,” said Chiefs head coach and general manager Harvey Smyl, who figured it was just a matter of time before a school picked up the second-year Chief. “He is a skilled defenseman who moves the puck well and knows how to work the point with the man advantage.”

Heading into last night’s (Thursday’s) home game against Victoria, Tuohy was the Chiefs’ second leading scorer amongst defense-

Coach Harvey Smyl said Kevin Tuohy’s style of play is tailormade for the NCAA game.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The emphasis lies on mysteries, sex, intimacy, research, large finances, lifestyle, crucial health matters, commitment – anything that can change your life deeply (usually another person is involved). This month, these changes tend to work through your ambitions, career, or status situations. E.g., a “status” wedding changes your life and finances. Or a career opportunity demands a commitment (of $?) from you, and will change your life. (Your career is marked by splendid luck this winter/spring.) Charge ahead SundayWednesday (a happy day!). Retreat, rest, plan Friday eve, Saturday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Relationships, relocation, dealings with the public, fame, negotiations, litigation, agreements, opportunities and opposition – these fill February. This week, especially Sunday to Tuesday, emphasizes the source of this winter/spring’s good luck: legal, loving, intellectual, international and cultural scenes. Work, health and your duties or ambitions might interfere – these are heading for a deep change and “rebirth.” (It centres on Wednesday, but could occur anytime in February.) Chase your ambitions Wednesday, but avoid conflict, aggression Thursday. Joy, friends, Friday/Saturday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Work’s essential – get it done. Your efforts, duties (and perhaps health) are tied up with an influence of deep change this month, especially this Sunday to Tuesday. This can manifest as: a sexual affair with a co-worker, investment in your job or tools/machinery, or changes brought about by your job or health – all are agents of change – beneficial change. Money goes better than romance right now. A gentle love floats in Wednesday, but irritation dissipates affection Thursday. (DON’T invest or make big changes this day.) Be ambitious Friday eve, Saturday – success accompanies you!

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Lie low, rest Sunday morning. This afternoon to Tuesday your energy and charisma surge – a bit of big luck could come, maybe involving home, relationships or money. (However, don’t push authorities.) Chase money Wednesday to Friday noon – but take care with purchases. Your hopes and your money resources (earnings level, savings) are in conflict – find reality. You might sense, or be offered, a career or status “partnership.” It’s subtle, you have to be intuitive or watch clues. Friday eve, Saturday bring errands, casual friends, curiosity and variety – read, write, talk.

Taurus April 20-May 20: The emphasis lies on ambition, career, prestige relationships, your reputation and status. Elements of fantasy/deception, creative ideas and impatient bosses crowd this zone.

If you deal with government, large corporations, institutions or charitable agencies, “impatient bosses” will be less of a factor. Be willing, quick to respond – and keep your sense of humour (especially Thursday!). Use Sunday eve through Tuesday for research and planning – get plenty of rest. Your energy surges Wednesday to Friday: display your skills, work hard. Excellent purchases Friday eve, Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: The accent lies on gentle love, compassion, broad vision, law, higher education, publishing, far travel and cultural rituals.

February 5/6’s sober, realistic love wish is almost sure to come true. But a “sweet confection” love wish, involving beauty, and perhaps involving a Libra or Taurus, is less likely to come true. (Some “destiny” lies in wait for this one – either a wipe-out, or a deep rebirth.) In other ways, Sunday to Tuesday brings wish fulfillment, social delights and happiness. Rest, lie low Wednesday/Thursday. You shine, succeed and attract others, Friday eve, Saturday!

*CONNECT WITH YOUR FUTURE* Learn from the past, Master the present! Call A True Psychic NOW! $3.19min 1-877-478-4410 (18+) 1-900-783-3800 Answers to all your questions!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The emphasis is on romance, creativity, beauty, luck, risk, pleasure, charming kids, sports/games. You’re riding a winning streak – recognize and use it, seize on openings, issue invitations, respond, speak what’s in your heart, etc.

Take a chance! The source of your January-to-June luck is highlighted Sunday afternoon through Tuesday: relationships, relocation, negotiation, agreements and contracts, litigation, co-operation. Clue: everything in the first sentence will aid these; but security, property, family will “fight” them. These, security, property, etc., are about to transform.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be gentle on the home front – spend energy on renovations, repairs, rather than causing family friction. Think back and ahead: decide who should stay in your life, who should leave. Your choices will affect your health and your duties, for good or ill. Your work will expand for the next four months – clues arrive Sunday to Tuesday.

Quiet discussions and administrative contacts benefit your efforts, but more adventurous communications (especially of love or competition) will erect barriers to work success – take heed Thursday. Mysteries, intimacy and finances succeed Friday eve, Saturday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Romance, creativity and a risk-taking mood steal upon you Sunday afternoon to Tuesday – take that risk! But realize money and confidence aid romance/creativity more than wishful thinking does. You might have some puzzles to work out around these: romance, pleasure, money and work.Work definitely faces you Wednesday (success) and Thursday (when work interferes with romance’s communications, or might be dangerous – practise safety). Exciting meetings (and some a bit more stable, boring, with other generations) arrive Friday eve/Saturday: love’s possible! All month, money’s lucky.

604.777.5046

ADVANCE CLASSIFIEDS 604-444-3000

Feb. 6 - Feb. 12 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Chase money, buy/ sell, seek lucrative clients – but most importantly (as Sunday to Tuesday might whisper to you) pursue the connection between security and money: e.g., buy or sell real estate, start a retirement fund, put away funds for your children’s education, purchase insurance, spend on new business premises or to expand your territory. Ending unprofitable or stale situations is also a wise move financially. Romance and pleasure call Wednesday (successfully) and Thursday (not – beware “wasted money”). Tackle chores Friday eve, Saturday: you’re ambitious, productive!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness are at a peak! Start important projects, seek favours, call in markers, show yourself in person. You’re very communicative, curious and travel-prone this month – these are emphasized Sunday to Tuesday. A Libra and a Gemini are attracted – the Libran is very serious. A Leo wants to spar – and join. Attend to domestic matters, family and security, property and “territory” Wednesday to Friday afternoon. Don’t be overbearing Thursday p.m.

Romance, creative surges and the urge to take a big chance arrive Friday eve, Saturday – yes, plunge in!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Rest, lie low, contemplate, plan. Be charitable, spiritual. Attend to obligations, committee and administrative chores. (Do taxes?) You will want to be free of these in two weeks when your energy and money luck will soar upward.

Let much of your planning involve finances. Money, earnings and possession are highlighted Sunday p.m. through Tuesday – let realism rule fantasy and wishful thinking. Your wishes, however, do have a destined road ahead – something is wiped out or born this week; it changes your future. Careful with money Thursday. Deep rest, good family Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
