Riders cook up fundraising plan To take part in the Ride to Conquer Cancer, Matt Forster and Joey Emanuels need to raise $5,000 by April 30.

Each rider must raise $2,500. Emanuels is accompanying Forster on the ride in what may be a first for the event. While the Canadian Cancer Society fundraising ride between Vancouver and Seattle has had people who have survived cancer and people missing limbs due to the disease, this appears to be the first time a person with autism has taken on the challenge.

The society offered to waive the fee for Emanuels but Forster decided it was import-

ant to cover it. So the riders and Forster’s friends and family are raising funds.

As well, the Langley Association for Community Living (LACL) is hosting a barbecue April 1 and the public is invited. It runs 5-8 p.m. at the LACL office, 23535 44th Ave. All donations will go toward’s the ride.

There will be food as well as entertainment and a silent auction.

Anyone interested in supporting Matt Forster’s journey can find out more at the LACL website (www.langleyacl.com) or by calling Aaron Hall, the LACL supervisor of residential living, at 604-230-6316.

Correction

Go Gators go!

On Tuesday, March 15, the story “Crash victim dies in hospital” contained an incorrectly spelled name.

Harold Hamon, of Hamon Towing, was the victim of a crash the previous Friday.

“Gator Nation” was out in full Wednesday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre during the 66th annual B.C. boys Triple A basketball championships. Walnut Grove Gators fans – including Scott Harder and Zach Laliberte – filled a section of the LEC to cheer their team on against the Vancouver College Fighting Irish. No. 4-ranked Vancouver College defeated No. 9 Walnut Grove 76-62.

The B.C. tournament wraps up Saturday at the LEC, with the championship game at 8 p.m.

Aid after quake

British Columbia’s government has written a $500,000 cheque to the Red Cross to support emergency aid in Japan, in the wake of the devastating quake and tsunami last week.

Thousands were killed after the 9.0 magnitude earthquake leveled buildings, compounded by the tsunami that struck areas north of Tokyo. A nuclear crisis has since developed as well.

Township council

Mayor’s authority to spend challenged Mayor argued with council again over rights and powers each should hold.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Sparring between Mayor Rick Green and one of his most vocal opponents on Langley Township council ran through the week, following an argument over authority Monday.

On Wednesday, Councillor Charlie Fox sent out an email, titled, “Confused,” to the mayor and fellow councillors.

Fox wrote that “nowhere in any document does it state (that I can find) that there is a legal distinction that says the mayor has legal right to spend tax dollars without the consent of council. Nor do I find that any council member has that right either.”

The email also accused the mayor of keeping his door shut to council, and of taking personal credit for programs carried out by the whole council.

Green said the whole thing was unfounded and ridiculous. “I’m not going to get into a war of words with him or anybody else,” he said Thursday.

The argument broke out after Green sought two legal opinions last week, while trying to fight off a motion by Coun. Kim Richter that could limit the ability of all council members to use Township resources.

Richter’s motion calls for the creation, with the help of lawyers, of a policy to clarify that council members cannot simply order staff “to undertake any program, action, or

Quake preparedness

Families should plan for disaster mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

With the tragedy in Japan still unfolding, quake preparedness has become a more important issue for many Langley residents.

Those who work to get ready for the Big One, or for any other disaster, have been busy.

“People want to know, what does it mean, could it happen here,” said Ginger Sherlock, emergency program coordinator for both Langleys.

Tsunami fears have been added to the fears of a quake that many people already felt. In addition, she’s been getting questions about whether there are any nuclear power plants in B.C. – there aren’t, but there are a few in Washington State.

There are plans for disasters locally, but they’ll focus on the worst hit areas, “areas where there might be people trapped,” Sherlock said.

For others, preparedness is critical.

“It’s up to the residents to form a neighbourhood emergency plan,” Sherlock said.

Elinor Ridley has seen a spike in callers seeking emergency kits since the quake and tsunami in Japan.

The ability to get by without outside help, without power, for several days, is the ideal. People should be able to camp out if necessary,

New memorial planned

Plans for the cenotaph at Douglas Park will be unveiled at a public open house.

by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Residents will be able to see and comment on a proposed design for a new cenotaph to be put in Douglas Park when Langley City hosts an open house March 29.

“The purpose of this meeting is to present the artistic design and several potential locations for the cenotaph,” explained Francis Cheung, the City administrator. “There will be a formal presentation by the landscape architect at 7 p.m. followed by a question and answer period.”

In the past the cenotaph has been located at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 21 building but the Legion moved from that Eastleigh Crescent site to a new location on 56th Avenue.

While the cenotaph was rebuilt in front of the new location, there is not sufficient space to hold all the people wanting to attend Remembrance Day services.

Part of the move included talks with Langley City about having a cenotaph installed in Douglas Park.

People will be able to see what’s planned for the park at the open house which runs 7-8:30 p.m. in the council chambers at City hall, 20399 Douglas Cres.

Anyone wanting more information can contact the City Hall at 604-5142805.

helping their neighbours. Skilled residents, such as a paramedic, a carpenter, a backyard barbecue chef, even, can lend a hand.

“The one that we don’t like to talk about is a way to dispose of sewage waste,” Sherlock said. She’s been emphasizing portable toilets lately, she said.

Elinor Ridley has certainly been hearing from more people since the quake. Her home-based business, Angel Safety Products, sells first aid gear and safety kits, including the sort recommended for quake preparedness.

“Just a little bit of a shake will get people thinking,” she said. Since the massive 9.0 Richter quake in Japan, she’s been getting a lot of calls.

Although it might help her bottom line, Ridley advises against rushing out and buying the biggest safety kit there is.

“My first passion is to make sure that people are safe,” said the former nurse. “I never want to sell anybody stuff they don’t need.”

Her website, www.angelsafety. com, even includes a section called “make a kit” where people can find a list of suggested actions they can take, as well as things they might want to buy. Taking a first aid course and making a plan for family members to re-connect in the event of a disaster are as important as having flashlights, candles, or rope.

For those who commute or travel long distances, an emergency kit in the car with some food and water is a good idea, she said.

“If bridges are out, you could be stuck,” she said.

Disaster kits have to be created with the person who will use them in mind, she said.

She sells different kits to families than she does to seniors, and offices and construction sites have different needs.

“To me, a paper cut and a chainsaw cut are quite different,” she said.

For those who want to know more about emergency planning, there will be a Community Awareness Regarding Emergencies (CARE) event at the Willowbrook Shopping Centre on May 7.

Representatives from police, firefighters, border services, bylaw officers, and others will be on hand, Sherlock said.

Langley had made strides in preparing for the worst.

The Bahá’i Community in Iran

and its Unique Response to Oppression and Injustice The Bahá’i community of Iran, which is the country’s largest religious minority, has been subjected to severe persecution in recent decades. Most recently, seven leading Iranian Bahá’is were each sentenced to twenty years in prison merely for their adherence to a peaceful religion that emphasizes the oneness of God, the harmony of the world’s diverse religious systems, the growing interdependence of the human family, and the need for all people to learn how to live together in peaceful, just, and sustainable ways.

Alana Bergstrome will discuss the wrongful imprisonment of the seven leading Bahá’is, will examine the Bahá’i community’s broader experience of oppression in Iran, and will provide an overview of their distinctively non-violent and non-adversarial response to oppression.

You are invited to a public meeting featuring guest speaker Alana Bergstrome.

Television

Aldergrove could be star of the show Aldergrove is in the running for a reality TV show spot.

by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Aldergrove area residents need to tell their tales. The producers of a new reality TV that’s in development want to hear stories, people’s stories about their lives.

That’s what will help Aldergrove be chosen from the pool of B.C. communities in the running for a new show on finances and families.

“We want to hear from so many different people with so many different stories,” said Nicole Lawson, the development producer with Force Four Entertainment.

The Vancouver-based TV company made Village on a Diet, the documentary serial that just finished running on CBC. With this new show, the makers have a specific buyer in mind – the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) Canada.

But if Aldergrove wants to be the focus of the show, the residents have some homework. A community meeting with Force Four showed that there is a desire to take part but Lawson said the community has to show broadbased support for taking part and show there are interesting stories of families and people that could be filmed.

It’s also what Force Four

is looking for from other contenders.

“We’ll make a decision in the next couple of weeks about where we’re going to shoot a demo,” she explained.

The demo is used to pitch the show to networks. If it’s sold, the company would film in the chosen community for about three months.

This reality show has a fiscal focus.

“Money is something we all think about but we rarely talk about,” Lawson said. “There’s not enough knowledge.”

Lawson said the show’s goal is to open up a conversation among community members and get people to think about their role in a community’s success or failure, and even what people want to accomplish in their lives.

A component of the show is to see how a community can come together to save money in these tight fiscal times.

It’s not just about people drowning in debt. Lawson said there are many people who feel like they are working hard but not achieving what they want or sacrificing other aspects of their lives for work.

Aldergrove residents had a chance to pick up questionnaires at the March 16 community meeting. Those need to be returned to Force Four as soon as possible. Anyone who needs a questionnaire can contact research@forcefour.com.

Past minimum Even hard-right business organizations whose policy doctrines suggest they would be OK with sub-Saharan wages in B.C. are offering only half-hearted resistance to Premier Christy Clark’s plan to raise the minimum wage. That’s how long overdue this province is for a move towards the standard everywhere else in Canada.

Naturally, organizations at the other end of the scale are complaining that the $10.25 minimum is not enough, or that it is being implemented too slowly.

Clark’s game plan is to raise the working poor’s bottom line in increments, reaching the full $10.25 per hour on May 1, 2012.

Announcements that the minimum wage is being raised from the current $8 per hour miss an important aspect of Clark’s wage hike: the ridiculous $6 minimum “training wage,” often abused by unscrupulous employers to obtain super-cheap labour, will be scrapped as of May 1 this year.

That decision even earned Clark plaudits from her foes in the Opposition benches, although the New Democrats and others have been quick to point out that the new premier is contemplating allowing a different minimum-below-minimum standard for some who work in the service industry.

Clark is considering a plan to mitigate the extra money that alcohol servers earn in gratuities – apparently on the premise that low-level labourers shouldn’t be capitalizing on windfalls that could be raked in by their employers instead.

The NDP wanted the minimum raised to $10 four years ago, when Clark’s predecessor and his cohorts maintained it wasn’t necessary, because market forces in those better economic times would drive up the minimum naturally. But the market forces haven’t done their job, and now that pastnecessary wage hike will be fielded by small businesses crunched by the HST, the continuing global recession, and in some cases, customer reticence born of changes to drinking-and-driving laws.

Future crunches could be avoided by extending the incremental minimum wage hikes past May next year, with further – small and reasonably anticipated – increases tied to inflation.

RV parking

Bylaws infringing on rights

Dear Editor, Does Langley Township really have nothing better to do than pursue that which it cannot and will not win visà-vis enforcement of an RV parking bylaw?

Perhaps we have one too

many bylaw officers with not enough to do.

Or perhaps it’s time for us RV owners to organize.

The current and proposed RV parking bylaws are unconstitutional and a clear infringement upon the prin-

Dear Editor, Laws and bylaws are made for people like your correspondent [Owners have right to own property, March 15 Letters, Langley Advance], who think that, because they bought a house, they have the right to do anything they want, regardless how it affects others in their neighbourhood.

They buy an RV, park it in the driveway, then park all their cars on the street, so there’s no place left to park if their neighbour has a visitor.

It is selfish. They only think of themselves.

It is dumb to say the bylaws are stupid, because if there were no laws or bylaws, such people would have everyone doing whatever they please.

It’s not just a minority of citizens who don’t want to see RVs parked in driveways, blocking their view, and don’t want to be looking at a tarped trailer every day, because we also have the right to enjoy our neighbourhood.

I would prefer that you didn’t use my name, as I have neighbours who have RVs parked in their driveways, and this could cause a problem between us.

Name withheld, Walnut Grove

ciple that laws cannot be “arbitrary.”

That Langley Township wants to propose and try to enforce an arbitrary law for the sake of “aesthetics” is appalling. There is no law that can be passed that outlaws “ugliness.”

It would be one thing if RVs posed a safety or health hazard, but instead, Langley wants to make illegal that which the country and the province have declared legal and safe.

I “comply” with the bylaw, but such is not the point. The bylaw is wrongheaded and proposes to infringe on my rights, for unsupportable reasons.

So some advice to the Langley Township: Strike the bylaw from the books before you find yourself in an unwinnable case in the courts when the RV owners in the Township begin to lobby together.

The Township must stop thinking it can infringe on my property.

Evolution

Science not conclusive on religion

Dear Editor, As much as I enjoy Travis Erbacher’s writing, I must occasionally differ with his conclusions: for instance, his categorical statement that all life simply evolved from single-cell organisms [All creatures equally not created, March 11 Letters, Advance].

He agrees with such notables as Christopher Hitchens, Steven Hawking, and others who deny the existence of a creative force, or as some refer to it, God. Charles Darwin wasn’t quite as adamant in his conclusion that the cells, without guidance and over millions of years, obtained the desired results through trial and error. And no one adequately answers the question as to where the single-celled organisms came from in the first place.

Science these days isn’t as adamant in godless theories as it once was. Brilliant investigative minds have proposed the string theory, try and authenticate Near Death Experiences, and have suggested that other realms of consciousness can exist without our awareness, and that perhaps millions of species, as or more intelligent than we are, live in the millions of planets that circle the billions of stars that are now being discovered.

I congratulate Travis’s closing paragraph that states we should treat all our relatives, human and otherwise, with care and compassion. That shows me that Mr. Erbacher is not only a brave individual for his conclusions, but a good one, as well.

Food banks

Children’s needs go before fighters Dear Editor, There’s a myth that we live in the best place in the world. Well, tell that to the 90,000 children, adults, and

seniors in this province who had to rely on food banks last year. That’s nearly the population of the Township of Langley!

Amalgamation

Debate no place for rhetoric

Dear Editor, Cindy Birck might be more credible if her letter [Money savings over-rated, March 15 Letters, Langley Advance] wasn’t so blatant in its partisanship.

The issue of the reunification of Langley City and the Township of Langley should be a nonpartisan, nonpolitical issue. No rhetoric. No fear.

Yes, we want debate, and yes, it is vital and healthy. That is why we are addressing this important issue.

It matters not that it has been “news” before, today it’s the real deal, and it’s here to stay.

Langley Reunification Association is up and running, and the agenda is good local government with good services and responsible taxation.

Rian Martin, Langley

TODAY’S FLYERS... in the

To our national shame, 868,000 people across the country were forced to use food banks, according to Food Banks Canada.

Food banks opened several decades ago as a stop gap measure, but they have become permanent fixtures.

Is poverty – childhood poverty – at the centre of attention for the federal government? Stephen Harper wants everyone to call the Government of Canada the “Harper Government.” He can have it.

He holds the responsibility for placing fighter jets ahead of Canadians. Do we really need 65 new fighters at a cost of $28.5 billion – when we have much more urgent concerns to address?

Social media brings together fundraisers An international Twitter festival is aimed at supporting a Fraser Valley facility helping local families.

by Brett Bonderud

news@langleyadvance.com

An international Twitter festival is coming to Langley on March 24.

The Fraser Valley Twestival is part of a worldwide event using social media to bring together people on a single day to raise funds and awareness for local causes, in this case in support of Canuck Place Children’s Hospice in Abbotsford.

Twestival takes place at the Coast Hotel in Langley City.

Langley resident and event organizer Caree Bray said Canuck Place was chosen as the Twestival’s beneficiary by people

in the Twitter community.

“A call went out to [Twitter users] for nominations and [they] said they wanted to support it,” she said.

Canuck Place provides specialized pediatric palliative care for children living with life-threatening illness. Currently, 46 per cent of the facility’s families live in the Fraser Health region.

This is the first event of its type for Langley, after organizers from last year’s Vancouver Twestival suggested Bray do something in the Fraser Valley.

She and a friend from the Fraser Valley Pulse contacted local businesses and residents through various social media to help raise awareness for the event.

Local sponsors include Coast Hotels, Mizuna Culinary, 1 Fish 2 Fish, Vista D’oro Winery and Mozart Bakery.

The Twestival will feature contortionists, musicians, big screen Xbox games

and airbrush tattooing.

“It’s all volunteers,” Bray said.

Twestival started in London, England, in 2008, with a focus on global causes.

About 50 countries from Africa, Asia, Australasia, North and South America, and Europe will be participating in community causes for Twestival 2011.

According to Twestival’s twitter page, volunteers have raised nearly $1.2 million for 137 nonprofit groups since 2009.

All local events are organized entirely by volunteers, and all ticket sales and donations go directly to the featured projects.

Fraser Valley Twestival 2011 will be held at Coast Hotel in Langley on March 24, from 6 to 10 p.m. Tickets are $30, for adults 19 years of age and older.

Business can work together A couple years ago, two Walnut Grove businessmen first came together in an effort to warn fellow company owners and managers about a rash of crimes in their neighbourhood. Well, their efforts to unite the business community in that area is being celebrated this month.

The Walnut Grove Business Association is holding its first annual general meeting on Thursday, March 31 at the Langley Events Centre (7888 200th St.) coffee and tea being served starting at 7:30 a.m., followed by elections and speakers.

“We are excited about this next term, and are looking for nominations from any member interested in becoming part of the first elected executive board of the WGBA. We are looking for 10 executive board members,” said founder Moe Wetzel.

This group, since inception, has grown to more than 100 businesses.

Pretty commendable.

In addition to sharing crime prevention information, this fledgling organization is now hosting business event and exhibitions, cleanup efforts, and other neighbourhood endeavours aimed at bringing the community together.

Admiring their successes, the Langley Township neighbourhood of Aldergrove has recently chosen to launch its own business association.

Following a founding meeting last month that attracted about five dozen people, the ABA (Aldergrove Business Association) is on its way. To learn more, email info@aldergroveba.ca.

Like it’s Walnut Grove counterpart, this group emerged in reaction to crime in the community, but has found many other issues that bond.

I’m expecting to see these two groups grow and prosper like the well-established Fort Langley and Downtown associations.

And speaking of Walnut Grove, can someone tell me what’s going in next to the Great Canadian Oil Change company on the one-way section of 201st Street? And FYI, Great Canadian is expanding. Another outlet opens soon at 200th Street and 64th Avenue.

For 16 years Dining Out for Life has helped feed HIV/AIDS patients.

Technology, glamour, and controversy collide in Trinity Western’s upcoming play, The Bacchae.

by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

F

ive area restaurants are participating in an annual fundraiser that sees the hospitality industry put its money where your mouth is.

Dining Out for Life takes place March 24. People who eat out at participating restaurants help raise funds for two area charities – A Loving Spoonful, which provides free meals to people with HIV/ AIDS in the Lower Mainland, and Friends For Life, which offers a wellness centre for HIV/AIDS patients and families with a range of alternative and holistic therapies such as yoga, naturopathy, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Taking part locally are: • Bob’s Bar n’ Grill, Aldergrove, 604-857-7725 (dinner) • Browns Socialhouse, Walnut Grove, 604-4550754 (lunch and dinner) • El Restaurante Del Pollo, 604-857-0556 (dinner) • Mozart Bakery & Cafe, Walnut Grove, 604-8820433 (breakfast and lunch) • Vault Restaurant, Cloverdale, 604-576-4243 (lunch and dinner) Bob’s, Browns and Vault are accepting online reservations as well.

Bob Long, owner of Bob’s Grill, said he’s been taking part for four or five years.

“It’s always good to give back something,” he said.

One quarter of sales on March 24 at Dining Out for Life restaurants will be donated. Long said he continues to participate because he sees that the fundraiser works.

“We definitely have diners that come in to be part of it,” Long said.

Diners can enter a draw at the participating restaurants to win an Okanagan wine tour valued at more than $1,000. It includes a two-night stay at a resort and tours of various wineries.

Around the Lower Mainland more than 230 restaurants are part of Dining Out for Life. Since it started more than 16 years ago, the event has brought in more than $3 million for HIV/AIDS charities.

and BUILDERS Homeowners have a new tool at their fingertips to help them better understand how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes.

The Residential Construction Performance Guide is the newest online resource available on the Homeowner Protection Office website at www.hpo.bc.ca.

It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform.

Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada.

“For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments they will make. So it’s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with confidence, knowing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,” said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association and an advocate for consumer protection.

This simple, practical guide is easy to use. It outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online.

This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled.

Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, woodframe homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings. Builders can also use the guide to help ensure that they deliver high performance homes.

Visitors to Bloom Market will also enjoy music by guest DJs, locally made food at the market café, and a demonstration by Fort Langley artist Brent Ray Fraser who will debut his latest collection Abstract Vancouver.

“There are many creative individuals who are emerging to provide unique and fresh handmade goods, and the market is a venue for these artists to gain greater exposure,” Barrett said.

“As well as people enjoy meeting and chatting with the artist in a fun and friendly environment.”

The market has been welcomed by the local business community that see the quarterly events as an opportunity to attract more visitors to the historic community.

“It is exciting to have Bloom Market featured at the Fort Langley Community Hall,” said BIA president John Aldag.

“The hall continues to attract unique events to the village, and this is another opportunity for Fort Langley to be highlighted as a great place to live, work and play,” Aldag added.

Bloom Market will take place at the Fort Langley Community Hall, 9167 Glover Rd. on March 20, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

And Barrett’s vision is to make this into a quarterly art market, with subsequent events set for the third Sundays in June, September, and November.

Pruning

Not too late to trim plants for spring In the Garden

so from the ground in early spring.

The mop-head hydrangea (Hydrangea macropylla) should have its old flowerheads pruned away and the remaining stems cut back to large, sturdy buds.

During March, the shrubby lavatera ‘Barnsley’ should be pruned to 30cm.

It should not be cut right down to ground level unless you want to trigger a reversion from white flowers to pink ones. Luckily, some gardeners prefer pink lavatera while others enjoy mixing the two colours.

It’s also time to cut redtwig and yellow-twig dogwoods back to a few inches above ground level.

Lavender can be sheared back now but only into the green wood, because the old, brown areas of stem are reluctant to re-shoot.

After severe temperatures

this year, hardy fuchsia stems will have died to ground level, and most gardeners will need to cut them right down.

But gardeners whose hardy fuchsias always get chomped by deer may want to experiment with leaving all the erect stems. It seems Bambi has no interest in getting close to a faceful of dead twigs. Gardeners who need to work around those fuchsias should take care to wear eye protection.

dominate the tree.

Almost all the earlyflowering shrubs and trees should be pruned right after blooming. Even better, why not prune while they are blooming, and get some flowers for the house, as well.

Cornelian Cherry (Cornus mas), for example, usually has multiple stems and often needs some of the congested middle ones pruned out. Its bright yellow flowers last a long time inside.

Forsythia and Winter Honeysuckle (Lonicera fragrantissima) both bloom better if one or two old stems are removed each year. Both can spread quite widely, and as they get older, will also need pruning for shape.

This is the time to cut buddleia back to about 30 centimetres (a foot) or so from the ground. Because it flowers on new growth, it will rush to put out fresh stems that produce pyramidal heads of pink, white, or purple flowers in August.

If it’s not pruned, buddleia will grow so tall that it flowers out of sight.

The ‘PeeGee’ hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) produces sumptuous blooms if it’s cut down to 30cm or

old, wind, and long, heavy rains made gardening a tough slog for some of us this spring – but we still have a few more weeks to finish the early pruning.

Soon, branches will leaf out and make it harder to see what we’re cutting.

All the usual suspects should be pruned out or tidied up: branches that have broken in winter gales, and dead, diseased, or crossing branches. Any growth that’s started blocking windows or stretching over access points such as paths should be removed.

Very low branches that make it hard to work on garden beds underneath should also be taken out. In very shady areas, somewhat higher branches may be removed to allow more light for plants growing below.

Witch hazels need immediate attention if any suckering stems are growing from the rootstock under the graft. The stems are unmistakable in flowering season, because the suckers hang onto many dead leaves and produce only tiny, rusty-coloured flowers.

Rootstock stems are more vigorous, and if allowed to remain, will eventually

Keep flavour alive in fall-off-the-bone ribs

erfectly cooked ribs (pork or beef) are often said to be so tender they that they “fall off the bone.”

The other day, I was reminded about the way I used to incorrectly cook pork ribs when I was a very young adult, and thought it would be interesting to examine a more successful cooking technique.

There are many ways to achieve mouth-watering, tender ribs, but I will share with you my favourite easy

technique for today’s average home chef.

Unlike a great steak (such as striploin, prime, porterhouse, T-bone, tenderloin, etc.) ribs, whether beef or pork, have a large amount of connective tissue. They cannot be cooked by the same procedure.

The aforementioned steaks are very tender, and can easily be cooked to perfection with a little seasoning and a few minutes on a hot grill.

to perfection, however, includes breaking down the connective tissue, to tenderize the meat and release its grip from the rib bones – best accomplished by cooking for long periods of time with low, moist heat such as with braising or stewing techniques.

When I was younger (and inexperienced) I accomplished “fall off the bone” ribs by boiling them for an hour first, then slathering them in barbecue sauce, and then baking or grilling.

Although I did get the connective tissue released from the bones, my ribs were left bland, with only the flavour from the barbecue sauce on the outside.

Water has no flavour, so it offers no complexity in flavour to the finished dish.

There are many ways to infuse flavour into your ribs, like dry rubs or indirect heat over a fire for many hours, as “traditional” barbecuing suggests, but there is a faster and easier approach.

First, season your ribs with salt and pepper on both sides.

Over high flame on your outdoor grill, completely sear both sides of the ribs until they are caramelized brown. Remove from the

heat, and coat both sides with your choice of barbecue sauce.

Preheat your oven to 300ºC and lay the saucecoated racks of ribs on a baking sheet. Pour onehalf cup of liquid (water, beer, broth, red wine) on the baking sheet, and seal completely with aluminum foil. Bake for one and a half hours, then lower the heat to 250ºC, and bake for another one and a half hours. This is braising.

Pierce the aluminum foil in the corner and gently pour out the liquid.

Carefully remove and discard the aluminum foil.

Gently brush the top of the ribs liberally with more barbecue sauce, and finally, broil the ribs on the tray in the oven for a few minutes until the sauce on the top has caramelized.

Gently remove the ribs from the tray and transfer onto a serving platter by sliding a couple of long utensils (tongs, for example) underneath each rack, in order to not disturb the shape of the racks.

The utmost care must be used to keep the racks in their original shape, as they will be so tender that they will “fall off the bones.”

LAPS seeks to license pets The annual door-to-door dog licensing drive is on now as Langley pooches need new tags.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com Every year in Langley, nearly half of the dog licenses issued in the past year aren’t renewed on time.

According to the rules, residents in the Township have until February to sign up for a new license. To help out those who don’t, the Langley Animal Protection Society has taken a proactive approach.

Every spring they send out a team of six, who go door to door looking for dogs in need of licenses. Sometimes, said LAPS manager Sean Baker, they find there’s a good reason for the lack of a license. A family may have moved out of town, or a dog may have passed away.

In other cases, however, the dog owner simply hasn’t gotten around to getting Fido a new tag.

“Any reason, we’ve heard it,” Baker said.

The door-to-door campaign is a “back to basics” approach, but it has worked. Over the past five years, the number of active dog licenses in Langley has gone up by 100 per cent, Baker said.

While the licensing program provides about 15 per cent of the revenue needed to run the animal shelter, that isn’t the main reason for running the program.

The best reason for a dog owner to keep their license current is the safety of their

OCEAN Beautiful Ocean is a young female pitbull looking for a warm couch to call her own. Ocean is having a lot of fun with clicker training, she’s a bright little cookie who would do great in agility or rally! Ocean is walked with a halti as she can be a bit of a tank on the leash. Ocean is a water dog, enjoying any water she can get her four paws into . Ocean would love to be the one and only princess of her new home . Ocean is fully crate trained and looking for a home with a fully fenced yard.

animal.

While Baker said tattoos and microchip identification systems still have their place, a current license is often the fastest way for the shelter to re-unite a lost dog with its owner.

“The dog license is something we can easily trace,” Baker said.

If the license is current, all the information is in the database at the shelter.

Even if a dog is found on a Sunday, or late in the evening, it takes nothing more than a simple search to turn up the resident’s phone number. A quick call, and they know their dog is safe.

Sometimes, unlicensed dogs with microchips or tattoos are found, but the data isn’t current. The owners have moved, the vet who issued the chip has changed location, or the dog has changed owners.

That can mean delays, or sometimes even an inability to find the owners.

Dogs with licenses are picked up faster than with any other system of identification.

The cost of a dog license in the Township is $31 for a spayed or neutered animal, $60 for an unaltered one. For seniors, there are discounts to $24 and $39 for fixed or unfixed animals.

If that seems relatively cheap (given food and vet bills for even a healthy dog) the fines are not so small.

“There are penalties for not licensing,” Baker said.

The fine for having an unlicensed dog can go as high as $250 per day, per dog. To get a license, call LAPS at 604-857-5055, or go online to www.lapsbc.ca.

ALORA Alora is a middle age female shepherd , who is just a blast to be around she loves the water her trainer takes her to the “Fort to Fort“ trail in Fort Langley so she can say Hi to the fisher man and go for a dip in the Fraser River . Alora travels well in the car and is an amazing house guest who is completely house broke but also loves her crate very very much; she will even go in to just to hang out with the door open. When Alora came into the shelter she was very fearful of her new home but now that side of her doesn’t come around too often anymore . Alora could go to a home with another dog and a cat.

RUE Rue is an 8 month old shep/poodle who was surrendered to the shelter. Rue has a lot of energy and is looking for someone to keep up with her ever growing personality . Rue enjoys the company of dogs and would be happy to go to a home with a canine friend. Rue is walked on a halti as she can be all over the place on leash and the Halti helps you control her. Rue may be able to go to a home with a confident cat.

ALICE Alice is a 10 yr old cat looking for her true forever home. She was found on a vacant property unable to stand, so we took her to the vet only to discover that her pelvis had been crushed, likely by a vehicle.

Alice went through a long recovery program full of physio therapy, medications and a lot of extra TLC, and is now doing much better as a result. Due to her previous injury however, she is looking for a home where she can spend her days relaxing on her special someone’s couch, or bed just enjoying the good life as too much running around may still cause her a bit of discomfort.

EDAN Edan is one of the sweetest young men you’ve ever met. He is super social with both people and other animals. He would do great in a home with other cats, dogs and or children. He also has an equally sweet, adorable brother who is looking for the same kind of home if you are looking for a pair, they would be the perfect match!

RUKI Ruki is a sweet young guy but he’s a bit shy. He’s looking for a quiet home with another cat and possibly another dog, be it the right match.

Ruki is not quite comfortable with being picked up but that may change with time. We are looking for a home with no small children because of his more fearful nature.

She’s close to shopping and transit, which makes it easy to get around.

And, as a long-term tenant, her rent is kept at a reasonable amount. At age 69, Grace says she is not a struggling senior, but she still has to watch her budget carefully and is even thinking of looking for part-time work.

The Eagles rallied to tie the game before the period was done on tallies from Josh Monk and Morley.

In the second period, Morley, with his second of the night, and Robert Lindores on a breakaway gave Surrey a two-goal lead, which they held on to for the rest of the game.

played during the series summarizes their play during the season.

“I think the way we played was typical of our year,” he said. “We were good one game, horrible the next … just up and down, but Surrey’s an extremely good team.”

Fatigue was a factor for both teams, having played six games over an eight-day period.

“They [the Chiefs players] were giving it whatever they could and they were exhausted at the end of that series, no question,” Smyl said.

The Eagles managed to keep Chiefs winger Matt Ius in check. Ius, who recorded a single assist in the game six loss, leads all BCHL players in post-season scoring with 20 points in nine games.

U18 soccer

Golden season for bronze boys A soccer player received his medals from his teammates, at BC Children’s Hospital.

The boys on the Langley United Youth Soccer Association’s U18 bronze team made their final year together count.

The LUYSA players – most of whom have been playing soccer since they were six years old – had a fine season in the 5 District U18 bronze division.

The five districts for league play were Golden Ears, Royal City, Mission, Pitt Meadows, and Langley.

Cup play included Golden Ears, Royal City, Ladner, Mission, and Langley.

In league play, which ran from from September to December, the team played eight games, and had the most goals for (42) and the least goals against (10).

They were awarded the 5 District U18 Bronze League Champions medal at the cup finals on March 13.

In cup play, a round robin of the top five teams in their division that started in January, the team played four games and ended up in top position, scoring 21 goals while surrendering just five.

The two top teams, Langley and Golden Ears, played in the final at Charles Best Turf in Coquitlam on March 13.

In an exciting game, Langley came away with a 4-0 victory, with two goals by Neil Osborne and one goal each from Devon Dick and

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your clout, reputation are high among the powers that be. Step forward now through the weeks ahead, exhibit your skills, show your record, seek bigger responsibilities. Your career sector is under splendid, expansive rays of luck! However, several cautions: 1) you might meet opposition (or pursue the least lucky position under a misguided notion of responsibility) before March 29; 2) your best action will be taken after March 28; and 3) the best project, boss, etc., will probably be linked to the past – something brand new might have a built-in “go in circles” direction-finder.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead are very significant in intellect, education, media, publishing, far travel, international dealings, law, cultural rituals, religion, life philosophy, fame and especially, love. Your creative talents find a wide audience.

The most valuable gift: understanding. A few cautions: 1) headwinds, probably involving health or employment factors, assail you in these areas until March 28; 2) Mercury goes retro soon, so it isn’t the best time to start new projects. Your luck will be better with ongoing or old, revived projects, loves, situations. Romance Wednesday-Friday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Great, significant change arrives in the weeks ahead. It might be huge, obvious; or it might merely be a shift in direction that steers your next eight years (and beyond, because nothing returns). Finances, intimacy, health, and, less directly, employment/work can be deeply affected. Generally, this is a very lucky time. However, a couple of cautions: You’ll make much better headway after March 28; to this date, obstacles appear in money and love. To succeed, stick with an ongoing or return to a past sexual, domestic/property, financial or employment situation. Be optimistic!

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness soar now through the weeks ahead! Your luck hits a 13 year peak. It’s a splendid time to begin major projects, one of the best times in your life. But some advice: 1) projects that aren’t meant to work will “fail” (or give signals of demise – some subtle) by March 28; 2) it’s better to start after March 28; 3) for success, this project should be connected to a past person, project or situation; and 4) it’s best (for easy progress) to steer clear of ambition, career and investment. Chase far travel, gentle love and intellectual things.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Retreat, rest, find sweet solitude for the few weeks ahead. Your energy is low, but your spiritual,planning and administrative abilities are strong. Deal with institutions, civil servants, government – they could have a “treasure” for you.

Contemplate and plan. Be charitable. Tackle chores Sunday. Relationships flow smoothly Monday noon to Thursday, but you might meet a bit of deception midday Wednesday. A good investment opportunity can arise Thursday morning – seek it! Finish chores this week, as slowdowns and indecision start soon.

Saturday’s mellow, but not profitable.

Gemini May 21-June 20: A major wish might come true over the weeks ahead. It will probably be a wish about a relationship, romance, marriage (or divorce), about litigation, negotiation, friendship/ popularity – but it won’t be limited to these. It will very likely involve an ongoing or past situation, person or project. Now is the time to reprise the past, in a big way! Romantic or creative urges sweeten Sunday and early Monday. But settle down to chores Monday afternoon to Wednesday noon – all goes smoothly enough. Big opportunities face you Wednesday eve, Thursday. Be alert! Don’t trust “independence.”

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Important, life-directionchanging opportunities face you over the next four weeks, mainly in love, partnership, relocation, negotiation, agreements, litigation, dealings with the public, marriage and divorce. You can see events as opportunities or as challenges, even as threats of defeat. But even the worst case will be a “win” in that it grants you freedom. To succeed, see another’s point of view, fulfil another’s desire(s). Conciliate, encourage, merge, find common ground – easier after March 28. Stick to ongoing/past people/projects – brand new ones have an Achilles heel.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Great luck comes to your employment sphere over the weeks ahead.

Your hours or tasks are almost certain to increase, and your income with it. This might be short-term (e.g. overtime hours) or more permanent (e.g. a pay raise). Aim, if you can, for the permanent. But whatever occurs, it will cause a change in direction that lasts for eight years. Apply this luck (via your efforts) to a situation, job, project that is ongoing, or returns from the past. Initiating a brand-new project might lead to eight years of “on/off” work disruptions. Money luck Thursday. By mid-year, new luck!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The month ahead is one of the most important – and luckiest – in a decade, maybe many decades. You might experience a big, obvious event, or a less marked but significant “turn” that heads you in a new, exciting direction, in creative, speculative, risk-taking, romantic, pleasure or beauty zones. Two secondary elements play an important role: 1) communications or travel, and 2) your personality. Relationships will be sober, or deal with a realistic environment. Through March 28, obstacles exist; be patient, then leap! Avoid brand new projects/people: reprise the past.

Mar. 20 - Mar. 26 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The weeks ahead feature much luck on domestic, property, therapy, healing, nature, gardening, agriculture, security, retirement,child-oriented,foundational and nurturing fronts. This is a great time to buy a house, have a child, or expand business territory (“foundational”).

What you pursue should be something ongoing or from the past (e.g., a house you wanted to buy before but couldn’t). “Dilemma” choices face you through March 28, so proceeding after this is easier. What you do now will affect your income and spending for the next eight years. Think “cornerstone.”

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead can bring much indecision. You might see people around you making big moves, having luck pour onto them, and you can think: what about me? Don’t worry, your big luck runs from this June to June 2012 – whereas everybody “lucking out” now will get little June onward. Meanwhile, your communications, mail, friends, siblings, travel, paperwork and curiosity will expand in interesting ways. Problems and obstacles arise through March 28, so go slow in the areas listed. Stick to former or ongoing projects and people: the brand new will bring future delays.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks ahead feature earnings, spending, possessions, sensuality and rote learning – in powerfully lucky ways. Your career and earnings can climb a ladder to new heights. For career, read “status” – for example, “marrying up” is a status move. (Great career hints Thursday morning.) Expect obstacles through March 28 – be patient, then leap! Since your relationships are headed for a period of delay and “circling,” you’ll fare best if you stick to ongoing or (probably luckier) past contacts and projects than if you try to launch new boats into new waters.
