Mounties and emergency responders were kept on their toes dealing with a handful of crashes in Langley Tuesday and Wednesday.
School crash
The Langley RCMP went on a manhunt for a driver who caused a crash in the parking lot of Glenwood Elementary mid-afternoon. At about 2 p.m. on May 28 a car swerved off 208th Street and into the parking lot of the Brookswood area school, on the corner of 24th Avenue. The car was apparently heading south on 208th and swerved to avoid another car. The vehicle, a courtesy car from an Aldergrove autobody firm, clipped the corner of a staff member’s car, then slammed into the back of a School District 35 maintenance van. The van was knocked most of the length of the parking lot despite having its parking brake on. The van’s driver was inside the school doing repair work. The van wound up stuck on top of a concrete barricade. The front of the car was demolished. The driver apparently slid out the window of the car and ran away to the north. No one was injured at the school.
Fortunately, the incident happened about 45 minutes before school was let out for the day, said vice principal Derek McCracken. If the driver had come along later, the parking lot would have been full of parents picking up children. McCracken said the driver apparently was trying to avoid another motorist who was slowing down for the school zone’s reduced speed. Police were seeking the man using dog teams and going through the farm fields north of the school. Motorists were being diverted away from several nearby roads for fear

that the driver might try to hijack another vehicle. The wrecked car belonged to Don’s Autobody of Aldergrove. Troy Woodcock of Don’s was surprised to hear from the police at about 2:30 p.m. that one of his courtesy cars had been involved in an accident. He had no way of knowing if the car was being driven by his customer, or if it had been stolen or borrowed before the crash.
Semi rolls over
A rolled over semi truck in the northbound lanes of the Golden Ears Bridge caused major problems for drivers Tuesday afternoon. The truck and attached trailer turned over on their side on the south sides of the bridge, funneling traffic heading north on the bridge into one lane. Vehicles approaching the accident were at a standstill. Southbound traffic was impacted as well, as motorists slowed down to take a look.
Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance
An RCMP officer surveyed the wreckage after a courtesy car from Don’s Autobody of Aldergrove crashed at Glenwood Elementary School in Brookswood. Langley RCMP did a preliminary investigation and according to the driver, his load shifted while driving. The driver tried to change lanes to offset the shift, but failed to halt the crash, said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP. Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) staffers were expected to take over the accident investigation, as they deal with issues involving commercial trucks. A similar accident
involving a log truck took place at almost exactly the same spot on May 10. A driver lost his load of logs, causing several lanes north and southbound to be closed for hours.
Classic crunch
On Wednesday afternoon, a classic car was mangled in a twocar collision on 64th Avenue near Costco in Willoughby. No one was seriously injured in the collision with a more modern vehicle.

The Langley Legion is hoping to find itself on solid financial footing. The Langley Legion will remain in its new home on 56th Avenue, after a new arrangement that will see it sell the building and lease the upper floor from its new landlord. Branch 21, which was formerly located a little to the east, announced the new arrangement this week. The change was needed due to financial struggles. “It wasn’t an easy decision to make, but it was the best thing we could do to get this branch back on its feet financially,” branch president Shirley Blair said. “This will allow us to stay in our home, continue our operations, and provide the support many people have come to depend on. This is a very exciting opportunity for the Legion.” The decision to sell the building and take on the lease came from the Branch’s Management Committee and the Royal Canadian Legion’s BC/Yukon Command, in consultation with trustees who were appointed to help Branch 21 recover from its economic challenges. The sale will be finalized July 7. Through the agreement, the Legion will maintain the upper portion of the building for 10 years. It will also lease and sublet the bottom floor for the first year, then the new owner will take over rental responsibilities for that portion. Renovations are required but the branch will remain open, if possible, during the work. When it is complete, an open house will be held to show the updated facility off to the public – and the Legion hopes that people who like what they see and will join them.

Fraser River
Heroes rescue father, son
A family was saved from a stranded boat pinned to a log in the Fraser River. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Mike Hampel and his nineyear-old son Bradley spent the longest 51 minutes of their lives stranding on a tipping boat in the fast-flowing Fraser River on Sunday. The Hampels were saved thanks to a quick-thinking RCMP officer and a fellow boater who rushed to their aid. Mike publicly thanked everyone involved in his rescue, but especially Paul Murnaghan, who navigated through a tricky rescue operation. “The man is a hero in our eyes,” said Hampel. The incident began when Mike and Bradley were fishing on Sunday. At around 5 p.m., a submerged log hit their anchor line. Hampel cut the anchor line, but it became tangled with the boat’s motor. Without power or anchor, the 19-foot fibreglass boat drifted into a large log boom on the north side of the Fraser near Derby Reach Regional Park, downstream of
Fort Langley. The boat then slid into the side of a floating tree, and the strong current slowly began to tip it over to one side. Both Mike and Bradley climbed onto one side of the boat to try and balance it out. By the time help came, they had four or five inches of freeboard on the eastern side of the boat, Hampel said. When they were stuck, Hampel called 911 on a cellphone. Const. Niko Genbleza headed to the marina in Fort Langley and spotted three men getting their aluminum jetboat out of the river after a day of sturgeon fishing. Genbleza asked them to relaunch and head out to search for the stranded boaters. Murnaghan immediately agreed, and took his two friends and headed downstream to search for the Hampel’s craft. It took 51 minutes from the time Hampel called 911 until Murnaghan’s craft appeared, the longest wait of his life. “It was a great relief to see the boat coming down the river,” Hampel said. Murnaghan headed past the Hampel’s boat and turned his craft into the current, then carefully edged forward until the

bows of the two boats were touching. One of his friends helped as Bradley and Mike crossed from one boat to the other. They even managed to save the Hampels’ boat, towing it to a dock in Maple Ridge. Although both Mike and Bradley were wearing life jackets, Hampel noted it is a dangerous time on the river, even with safety gear. The two to four weeks of late May and early June are the season for the freshet, when snow melts on the mountains in the Interior and water levels rise sharply. Logs and whole trees are frequently seen in the river, and the current is much stronger than at any other time of the year. “It can change so quick on the river, it’s a dangerous place,” he said. Murnaghan didn’t hesitate when asked to help, but said he’s never been involved in a rescue before. “It was my first and hopefully my last,” he said. Bradley said the incident was “scary.” Both Murnaghan and Mike Hampel have been boating on the river since they were young. Hampel isn’t sure he’ll be heading back any time soon.

Robocall fines bring shame
Members of all the leading parties in the House of Commons should be hanging their heads in shame today. The federal Conservatives and NDP have both been fined by the CRTC for breaking rules around robocalls, those annoying intrusions that interrupt our dinners to spew political invective. In addition to the Tories and their Opposition, Liberal MP Marc Garneau, Conservative MP Blake Edwards, the Wildrose Alliance in Alberta and Ontario’s Progressive Conservatives, and a polling firm affiliated with both Wildrose and the Tories Email with have been slapped down. It seems that few of Canada’s politicians and professional political operatives bothered to find out what the rules were, or deliberately flouted them. They sent calls without properly identifying the party of record, or without giving enough contact information for recipients to call back. This comes just weeks after Elections BC had to tell the provincial Conservatives to stop sending out election-day robocalls. The Langley Advance broke the story of the rules violation. These fines and rulings only reinforce the feeling most people have when contacted by an automated political message: annoyance. We have seen generally low levels of political engagement at almost every level in Canada over the past few decades. Why should we be surprised by this when the main parties treat us like a simple mass that can be influenced by cheap recorded messages? Robocalls imply that a two-minute message is enough to change our minds when debates, news, and analysis isn’t. The CRTC’s fines are a welcome corrective to an abuse of the existing rules. But perhaps we should call for robocalls to be banned entirely. If the politicians can’t use their toys responsibly, they’ll have to be taken away. – M.C.

May day has storied history
Dear Editor, I always enjoy the historical pieces, but some clarification is needed [Celebration started nine decades ago, May 16, Langley Advance]. It was in the year of the current queen’s coronation that the May 24 holiday was changed to make a long weekend. I was not alive yet in 1901 [the year Queen Victoria, whose birthday is celebrated as Victoria Day, died], but I can certainly remember when May 24 was the holiday, regardless of the day of the week. Of course, if it fell on a Friday or a Monday, the weekend was an extended one, at least for schoolchildren. When the holiday stood alone on a weekday, people did not take to wheels and go away; instead, communities held their own homemade celebrations, and pretty well everyone attended them and participated. I remember a community picnic. I was five years old, I think, and we had been staying with my grandparents and uncles on the farm in Glen Valley. There was a race for mothers, and mine competed – and one for fat ladies, which no one seemed too selfconscious to enter. I can’t remember if there was one for five-year-olds, but if there was, I certainly didn’t win it (or any race since then). The highlight for me was pink ice cream,
and to this day, that is what I want on May 24, no matter what day of the week. Like everybody else, I enjoyed the long weekends in my working years, but I do regret the loss of the community aspect of May 24. That day was also the real beginning of summer in Canada. Children were at last allowed to go swimming and run about barefoot, and men cast aside to the their Stanfield’s (in this part of the country they had probably already done so), and life was good. When I was in school, the day was called “Empire Day,” and apparently still is in some areas, but “Victoria Day” recalls the old queen whose birthday is the reason for the celebration, although the family headed across the border in the car for the three days may not be fully aware of the holiday’s origin. By the way, I think we lost a holiday the year the change was made. It seems to me that, until then we had had May 24 as well a day in June, to mark the king’s birthday, which was actually in December. That year there was a holiday for the coronation in June, and it was decided the king’s birthday would be superfluous. It disappeared forever. Maybe it was just a school holiday, not a statutory one.

Dear Editor, When Township council passed a Heritage Alteration Permit for a new building at 9190 Church St. [Fort continues to expand, April 25, Langley Advance], I understand the silence from Fort Langley residents was deafening. I wonder why. Let’s look at the history. The Coulter Berry development is 44,500 sqare feet, 44 feet high, with two floors of commercial use and one floor of residential use, for a total of three floors. Under
the Fort Langley Parking Guidelines, 77 cars will use street parking. The staff report on the application did not support it. The Heritage Advisory Committee and Langley Heritage Society did not support it. There was a petition of 670 Fort Langley residents against it. Council approved the Coulter Berry application, 7-1, effectively throwing the Fort Langley Official Community Plan out the window.

It is approximately three feet overheight, nowhere close to the 15.5 feet overheight of the Coulter Berry. Again with the Fort Langley parking relaxation, 14 cars will need to park on the street. Quite a difference between the two. Perhaps Fort Langley residents felt, with the overwhelming support council gave Coulter Berry, why waste the time and effort. Repeated efforts that bring no results is not a productive use of time. Or perhaps they were using a reverse petition strategy, by not presenting one to council, so that our mayor could would hear and act on the silence of their voices. Andy Schildhorn, Fort Langley

‘Elvis’ was a genuine entertainer
Dear Editor, Thanks again for the complimentary tickets to the performance at the Bell Centre [Elvis bound for Maui via Memphis, April 18 How to win, Langley Advance]. We really enjoyed the show and the audience participation, too. The music and vocals were great, and there was lots of energy and stage craft from all the musicians and, of course, Darren. I’m sure a less experienced professional

might find it difficult to sustain the momentum and grace of the performance with all of the audience “enthusiasm” (and in-yourface photo-taking) that occurred. For us, it was lots of fun to watch both on-stage and off-stage action, and Darren (apart from giving an excellent show) was a very patient and compassionate performer with a good sense of humour. Thanks very much. Bev and Warren Sommer, Langley

A new bird cannon bylaw adopted Monday night doesn’t go far enough for some rural Langley Township residents. For years, residents and some farmers in Langley have objected to the noise of bird cannons. The cannons, powered by propane, produce powerful bangs at regular intervals, intended to scare away birds from berry crops. The Township created a task force to look into new regulations, but rules are difficult to establish. They can be overturned by the provincial Ministry of Agriculture if they are found to be interfering with the rights of berry farmers. The new rules establish setbacks, timing, and would require farmers to register their cannons. There are limits of one cannon for every two hectares of land, and a bird management plan is required to use the cannons. In addition, the Township is requiring a 100 meter setback from horse trails, 24 hour notice before firing near a horse farm, signage, and progressive fines for breaking the rules. One thing it can’t do is measure and limit the cannons by decibel level, say Township staff. That doesn’t sit well with farmers like John Beamn. “Noise is measured with a meter, not by the meter,” he said, criticizing the rule
that says a cannon must be 200 meters from a property line. Beaman and other rural residents, including horse owners, came to the council meeting to say they wanted things such as a ban on timers, or for the council to go to the province to negotiate better rules. “What I’m going to do is ask you to take this to the political level,” said Mary Kierans. Kim Madill expects to see a huge increase in cannon blasts around her home as more berry farms are established. She told the council that she could be subjected to up to 378 blasts a day. Only Councillor Kim Richter was in favour of immediately amending the new bylaw, suggesting the council write to the Ministry of Agriculture asking that the Township be allowed to regulate decibel levels. “There’s no point in us trying to rewrite this bylaw tonight,” said Coun. Bob Long. However, he also wanted more talk with the minister in Victoria. A motion was passed to meet with the minister, either by sending representatives to the Island or by bringing the minister to Langley. The motion was passed unanimously, although the council will have to wait until re-elected Premier Christy Clark appoints her new cabinet, expected to happen sometime this summer. The council also decided to keep its task force around through the summer. The task force will watch over how the new rules are implemented during the growing season and report back in the fall.

McFrugals lives on Bargain hunters fear not, McFrugals is changing, but not disappearing. Large signs Roxanne Hooper in the 56th rhooper@langleyadvance.com Avenue windows alert people to huge deals, and have been fueling fear that it’s closing down. But owner Jason McDougall assures me it’s far from the case. The one and only McFrugals discount store will undergo renovations in the weeks to come – hence the desire to blow out the existing stock – and people can expect it to be closed two to four weeks to refit the store with all new fixtures, counters, and paint. But when the dust settles later this summer, it will be the same staff and deals for which the 13-year-old Langley City clearance store is synonymous. McDougall, McFrugals owner, explained that his company purchased 57 Fields department stores last May and is in the midst of renovating a number of those outlets and opening new ones. Now, while all that’s going on, he said the company continuing to run the store in Langley as a clearance centre under the McFrugals banner. And admittedly, it’s still up in the air as to whether or not there will be a name change to the local store. After all, he said, the McFrugal name is well known locally.

Golf fundraiser features interesting challenges Two fundraisers might leave you singing Baby You Can Drive My Car. by Ronda Payne
news@langleyadvance.com
It might not be the best golf swing that wins a car, it could just be a lucky shot, at the Driving and Skills Challenge event for the Langley Lodge June 8 and 9. The lodge is holding a fun golf skills challenge at the driving range and putting areas of
Langley Golf Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m, both Saturday and Sunday. “Anybody who wants to come out and take a shot can come and try,” said lodge fundraiser, Patrick Matiowski. Anybody, except pros, of course. A number of interesting skill shots will be set up, including “ring a bell, win a car.” Two Dodge Darts to be purchased from Willowbrook Chrysler if won and an ATV from Western Power Sports have been arranged. “We’re expecting at least one
will be won in the course of the two days,” noted Matiowski. For a $20 donation, participants will have two shots at a seven inch bell 170 yards from the tee If your golf ball hits the bell and rings it, you win a car or the ATV. Other contests will be different donation amounts and will include a wide range of golfrelated activities. “Putting contests, chippings contests, driving,” listed Matiowski. “[There will be] little walls to try to chip over.” For those not as confident with
their golf skills, the lodge and the golf centre will put a satellite dish at 120 yards from the tee. Prizes will be awarded for those who hit it. “[There are] all kinds of door prizes,” said Matiowski, who was quick to point out the generous help of the local business community in supporting the event and the lodge. For those looking for fun on the silly side, the Longest Drive Marshmallow may be the event to try. All proceeds from the Driving and Skills Challenge will go towards the programs and ther-

Doors open at 5 p.m. June 9 to the Beatles tribute band, the Fab Fourever. The event will also feature a silent auction. Tickets for the concert are $30.

History on four wheels The 25th anniversary of Model A Sunday will be celebrated at the B.C. Farm Museum. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com
I
t was too good of an event to let it die. That was Mike McVay’s reason for taking on the organization of Model A Sunday – a celebration of cars pre-1932. While McVay’s own 1928 Pontiac isn’t a Model A, it is indicative of his interest in keeping that generation of vehicle in the public eye. Sunday marks the 25th year of the event and any make or
model made in 1932 or earlier, is welcome to exhibit. It’s held at the B.C. Farm Museum in Fort Langley at 9131 King St. The cars won’t be the only thing on site. The museum itself, home to more than 5,000 artifacts, will be open to visitors; the Antique Engine Club will be on hand with a collection of small engines; and a vendor making and selling minidonuts will also be on site. Last year’s event saw 36 cars and McVay is hoping for
between 40 and 50 this year. “There’s a lot more ’40s and ’50s cars around than the ’20s and ’30s,” he said. His organization of the event began around the same time as the purchase of his 1928 Pontiac about six years ago. “[The car] was pretty well all done [being restored],” McVay said. “Except tires, tubes, and flappers. There’s always a little bit of work. At least I don’t have to worry about getting a flat tire somewhere.”
Planned to run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., there is no preregistration required for cars to exhibit at Model A Sunday. Guests are welcome to come out, take a look at some of the old classics they may have heard about, or perhaps remember riding in. According to McVay, turnout, of cars and people, “depends entirely on the weather.” He expressed hope that the weather prediction for a dry day holds true.

Kids slated for Saturday telethon appearance A local kids group is donating just over $20,000. The Kids Can Help team has reached its goal of raising $20,000 by the time of the BC Children’s Hospital Miracle Weekend telethon Saturday.
The group of local kids who hold fundraisers like talent shows, garage and bake sales, car washes and bottle drives will be on the telethon on June 1 sometime between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. to present the funds. Sean Thomas, the boy who founded the group, said the most recent fund-
raiser was a games night in mid-May at Great Escape. At the group meeting last weekend, the tally for the telethon donation was revealed ($20,085.40 in the past year) and they watched a video message of encouragement from singer Victoria Duffield.

A one-day forest will spring up in the George Preston Recreation Centre on June 2 for the seventh annual B.C. Bonsai Society show. Dubbed the Langley Artisans Show, the event features the specialty plant society as host. It invites some friends, namely the Port Kells Artists Club and the Fraser Valley Potters Guild. “It’s our attempt to bring the arts community together,” said society vice president Bryan Baillie. The society will have a couple hours of demonstrations taking place starting around 11 a.m. The artists and potters may also have activities and will have wares for sale. Admission is free. The bonsai society will have $30 memberships available to purchase at the show but not specimens. The bonsai society has about 70 members and meets on the first Thursday of the month at the Sunnyside Hall in South Surrey. There’s a great deal to learn about this ancient horticultural art that takes about two decades to produce a true bonsai. Because of that, bonsai plants are often handed down to descendents or other bonsai enthusiasts. “They’re not instant gratification,” he chuckled. Most bonsai plants are kept out of doors (except during the coldest periods when steps are taken to protect them). “The worst thing you can do to a bonsai tree is bring it indoors,” Baillie noted. Despite their stunted appearance bonsai plants are fertilized to keep them green and lush with healthy root systems. Even the roots are altered in bonsai. A tree typically sends out a tap root which helps anchor it to the ground. That is usually cut in bonsai. Baillie explained that then encourages finer roots to grow. The art of bonsai comes from the creativity of the grower who uses shaping, pruning and wiring to hold elements in place, creating living art.

Scammed family inspires film
A Langley-raised actor turned film producer is hoping his tale of phone scams strikes a chord. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A
pair of real-life encounters with scam artists were the impetus for Langley-raised Sage Brocklebank’s new movie project. SCAM is a look at the con artists who phone up with offers too good to be true – they just need you to send them a processing fee to get things moving. “We want to get inside the world of the scammers and understand them,” said Brocklebank. Brocklebank has long worked as an actor in the Lower Mainland, with a longtime recurring role as a police officer on Psych and a host of other work, from Stargate to Smallville to movies of the week. He’s also producing and doing plays in the Vancouver Fringe Festival. It was after working on a Fringe production with two friends, Allen Morrison and Patrick Sabongui, that they learned of a contest to win a chance for funding a feature length movie. After the success of their crimethemed Fringe play, the trio wanted to feature lawbreakers again. Two weeks before the deadline to register for the contest, dubbed CineCoup, Morrison’s grandfather was ripped off by a telephone scam. While it was a horrible experience for the family, it did give the filmmakers an idea, one that got deeper when Brocklebank ran into an exphone scammer at a poker game. The ex-con artist agreed to fill them in on the way scams were run out of Montreal in the 1990s. For several years, that city was one of the hubs of phone scam
money, the opener is supposed to turn the victim over to one of the higher ups. At most, the opener will see about 20 cents on the dollar of the cash the crooks extract from their target. For their movie project, now titled SCAM, Brocklebank and his team decided to focus on an opener, a young man who has been lured in by the easy money to be made. He gets in way over his head when he decides to poach a potential victim from his own employers and get all the money for himself. He foolishly approaches the man in person, is discovered, and finds himself receiving the brunt of a victim’s anger. For the CineCoup contest, the SCAM team has created a trailer and several scenes of the film.

Rosemary not a happy traveller In the Garden by Anne Marrison
Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca
Dear Anne,
My friend has a big rosemary bush in her backyard that she doesn’t like to keep. She doesn’t want to kill it either. How can I move it without killing it? Can I start a new, young rosemary from her bush?
Mi Vuong, Vancouver
An old rosemary doesn’t transplant well. Because a rosemary’s native home is on rocky Mediterranean cliffs, it develops very long, far-ranging roots. That’s why the best way of moving rosemary successfully is to dig up the biggest rootball you can manage. But do try moving it. You may be lucky. If you take several cuttings first, you’ll have covered all the bases. Each cutting should be
two to five inches (five to 12 centimetres) long and include a shoot cluster which has several leaves. This shoot should be removed along with any leaves which would end up in the soil. The raw place left from shoot removal and the whole bottom end of each cutting should be dipped in rooting hormone. Roots start where the hormone contacts the raw areas. Rooting hormone comes in gel or in powder form. The gel sticks better. Potting mix for the cuttings should include perlite or grit and vermiculite or a little peat. Rosemary likes to be very well-drained. But give the cuttings a little water (don’t let them sit in water) then cover with a transparent plastic bag. With herbs like rosemary that like sun, warmth and fairly dry conditions, the ideal is to keep them slightly moist but not wet. Dear Anne
Is there any way to revitalize a 45-year-old snowball bush. This year’s blooms were very tiny and brown. On closer inspection, the leaves were full of tiny holes and covered in
black aphids.
The viburnum leaf beetle is attacking your shrub. You’ll need to prune back and garbage all the twigs that are infested with eggs. These eggs contain the larvae which will begin eating the leaves later. Infested twigs have lines of little dark brown bumps on them. It’s usually the underside of outer twigs that are the most infested. It’s best to remove these in the late fall or winter after leaves have fallen and you can see what you’re doing. Once the larvae have hatched in May, they scatter and it’s very difficult to deal with them. Insecticidal soap will kill any larvae or beetles it contacts, but this is an awful lot of spraying if the whole bush is infested and it will harm the beneficial ladybugs and lacewings which are fairly efficient at eating the larvae. Around June, these larvae crawl down the bush to pupate in the soil. These transform into beetles by the end of July and lay the eggs in twigs. It’s hard to control the adults because they can

just fly away. This means despite your pruning, beetles can always fly in from viburnum bushes in the neighbourhood and reinfect yours. But in practice, you’d be unlikely to ever get an infection as large as your current one providing you prune your own bush every fall. Also an infection from a neighbourhood viburnum should be fairly small anyway, since the neighbour’s beetles would have their own tree close at hand to munch on.

Concert
Ensemble returns
by Ronda Payne
news@langleyadvance.com
At the unusual size of 18 core instrumentalists, the Vancouver-based large chamber group, Turning Point Ensemble fits somewhere between a small chamber group and a symphonic orchestra. The group will bring the unique blend of music celebrating jazz icon Thelonious Monk and Canadian composer Rudolf Komorous to their show at 7:30 p.m. on June 2. “We’re delighted that Turning Point Ensemble is returning to the Rose Gellert Hall this year,” said Elizabeth Bergmann, artistic director concerts for LCMS. “We continue to foster a relationship with these exceptional musicians who spent last year as our resident ensemble, and we are so pleased to present this unique program in our intimate setting for all to enjoy.” Entitled Beyond Midnight, the show features a number of West Coast musicians including Christopher Butterfield, John Korsrud, David MacIntyre and Tony Wilson. Numbers planned for the show include Komorous’ Strange Sphere, based on Monk’s Blue Monk. Recently turned 80, Komorous is noted as an inventive and influential composer of music with melancholy, beauty, and individuality. Also in celebration of Monk, the Turning Point Ensemble will play Fantasy on Themes of Thelonious Monk by a Paris-based Joe Makholm – a Monk scholar and jazz musician. The ensemble was founded in 2002 by its musician members and has a mandate to increase the understanding and appreciation of music composed during the past century. Able to play a wide range of music, the ensemble brings a link through the past century to today’s contemporary work. Tickets for the June 2 show are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $15 for students. Call the box office for tickets at 604.534.2848. The Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207th St.

Bands make beautiful music A joint performance of two bands will celebrate friendships, community, and song. by Ronda Payne
news@langleyadvance.com
A musical reunion of sorts will take place at 7 p.m. in the West Langley Hall on Saturday. The Langley Concert Band will be hosting the Nicola Valley Community Band in a joint performance where each band will play its own set of music, then both bands will come together for some combined pieces. “It started a few years ago because my brother lives in Merritt,” noted
Kathy Masse, organizer for the event. Masse had asked her brother if there was a concert band in his area. There was and a connection was made with a plan. “So last May we went up to Merritt,” Masse said of the Langley Concert Band’s trip. The get-together included a tour of the area, a dinner, and the highlight – an outdoor performance featuring both bands. “We had such a good time and such a good rapport built up,” commented Masse. Unfortunately reciprocating an outdoor concert was out. “We would have loved to have had it in a park here, but we can’t count
on the weather as much,” she said. The next best thing was to bring an enjoyable night of music to the public at West Langley Hall, 9402 208th St. “This is a musical reunion with our new friends,” Masse said. “We’ll have dinner together, take them on a tour, and do the [show].” Admission to the Saturday concert is by donation to help with the Merritt band’s travel costs. On the visit to the Nicola Valley, they met B.C. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon, who plays flute in the community band. After Langley, the Merritt group will carry on to Vancouver Island for a performance Sunday at Government House.

BCHL lauds Langley officials
Referee Jeff Ingram and linesman Bevan Mills rose to the top of the class among BCHL officials.
Garrett James photography
Bevan Mills has received the Brad Lazarowich Award for the top linesman in the BCHL.
Two Langley residents took home some major hardware after a fine year of officiating in the B.C. Hockey League. The league recently announced the recipients of the BCHL officiating awards for the 2012/13 season. The Kelly Sutherland Award and the Brad Lazarowich Award were created last year to recognize officiating excellence in the BCHL. The Kelly Sutherland Award for the top referee was presented to Langley’s Jeff Ingram, a veteran referee in the BCHL who is currently a Level 6 official. Ingram refereed the BCHL
Fred Page Cup this year and was selected to referee in the Western Canadian Championships in Nanaimo, where he was assigned the semifinal game between the Surrey Eagles and Brooks Bandits. “Jeff is a quality referee and person. He has been a top referee in the BCHL for many years, and is committed to excellence both on and off the ice,” BCHL director of officiating Derek Adams said. “Jeff has acted as a mentor to our young referees and is a leader on our staff who sets the bar extremely high for the standard of how we want our games in the BCHL to be officiated.” Ingram also referees in the WHL and CIS, and officiated the CIS championships in Saskatoon in 2013. The Brad Lazarowich Award for the top linesman went

to another Langley official, Bevan Mills. Mills has been a linesman in the BCHL since 2004 and has worked the Fred Page Cup for the past four years. He was also selected to officiate in the Western Canada Cup this year. “The mark of a great linesman is one who makes the referee’s job easier because he
works hard at being proactive in preventing situations from escalating. That’s what makes Bevan such a great linesmen,” Adams said. “Bevan is extremely professional and respectful both on and off the ice, and is committed to making the officiating team the best team on the ice every night.”

By all accounts, Langley Baseball hit a home run with its bottle drive and bat-a-thon Saturday at City Park. Players varying in age from four to 18 took part in the fundraiser. Divisions ranged from blast ball to senior, and players had an opportunity for five hits apiece. Each player’s distances were added up, with prizes awarded for longest hit overall, longest hit per division, and longest hit per team. The balls were measured from where they came to a
complete stop. Langley Baseball pins were awarded to all participants. Event coordinator Tyler Watt reported that $739 worth of bottles were collected, while the funds raised through pledges were still being calculated at press time. Money collected from the bottle drive will go towards upgrades on the association’s batting cage, such as lighting, and netting, Watt explained. Funds raised from the bata-thon will go into an account designated for future Langley Baseball facility upgrades. Prizes were awarded for the longest hitter from each team as well as top fundraiser from all age groups. As well, prizes went to the players who collected the most money from pledges overall. Trophies and prizes are being handed out this Saturday at City Park.

Blastball player Cooper Love of the Orange Crushers swung for the fences during Saturday’s bat-a-thon fundraiser at City Park. Random prizes will be given out to players who raised $20 or more in pledge money. The bat-a-thon went off without a hitch, according to Watt. “I was running around like crazy, but there were kids who hadn’t hit all year who hit quite a few times at the bat-a-thon, so the coaches were happy with that,” he said. “The kids were in the outfield measuring other
a bat-a-thon next year. This was the first bat-a-thon fundraiser put on by Langley Baseball since 2008, according to Watt. “We are hoping to carry this fundraiser for many more years as there were a lot of smiling faces and it was a great success,” he said.

The Township of Langley is full of wildlife habitat, and residents share the area with animals including bears, cougars, and coyotes. While residents throughout Langley do not need to be continually on alert, there are a number of actions that can be taken to deter wild animals if they are spotted in your area. Parents are encouraged to educate their children on what to do if they encounter any of these animals, especially if they play by themselves in areas that wildlife frequent or have been seen in the past. To help people coexist with creatures that are simply trying to survive but can be dangerous if provoked, the following information is offered:
Bears: are looking for food - don’t let them learn it can easily be
obtained from humans. There have been a couple of bear sightings in Langley this season.
If you encounter a bear, do not run. Act big and loud, and back away slowly to a safe place.
Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year, and family groups can be seen at any time. Cougars survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer. Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a confident voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, fight back.
Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous wildlife in the area and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Family groups with pups, which are trained to hunt and kill, have been regularly seen around Langley. Coyotes are bold and easily lose their natural fear of people. Never feed a coyote. If you encounter a coyote, scare it off by making loud noise or throwing something at it to make it afraid. Never ignore a coyote. If it continues to approach, do not run. Maintain eye contact, pick up small pets or children, and slowly move to an area of increased activity.
In Residential Areas: Reduce the smell of food by keeping barbecues clean. Keep pet food inside. Garbage is the WARNING biggest attraction for bears so keep it secure and inaccessible Langley has a large to wildlife. Do not leave garbage deer population cans out overnight: keep them USE CAUTION in the house, a locked garage, or secured outbuilding that cannot be ON ROADS broken into by large, smart bears. Put them out only on the morning of collection. If you are worried about odour, keep garbage in the freezer until collection day. Do not use bird feeders, as they attract bears and the birds do not need seeds when other natural food sources are available. This is the time of year to be extra vigilant with small pets, especially cats, in areas where coyotes are around.
In Agricultural Areas: Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground. Use electric fencing to deter bears from blueberries and beehives, and pick berries and fruit as they ripen. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure. Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening. It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood. Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a fine of up to $575. To report poachers or polluters or if you have a problem with wildlife call: Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) 1.877.952.7277

Fundraiser for families A memorial skate and fundraiser is taking place this Sunday at the Langley Sportsplex, to honour and remember two friends who passed away recently. The Langley Minor Hockey Association (LMHA) will be hosting a memorial skate and fundraising event this Sunday (June 2) in support of the families of Austin Kingsborough and Brendan Wilson. On April 21, Kingsborough and Wilson – two close friends and avid hockey players – went missing on Nicola Lake. After the RCMP called off search and rescue efforts, the boys’ families hired a couple from Idaho to search the lake with specialized equipment. The boys’ bodies were found on May 6. The event is being held from 2:15 to 4:15 p.m. at the Langley Sportsplex, 20165 91A Ave.
Drop-in skating will be for a minimum $5 donation, which also earns an entry into a draw for a free 2013/14 LMHA player registration. A barbecue, bottle drive, and silent auction will also help raise funds. All proceeds from this event will go directly to the Kingsborough and Wilson families. Attendees are encouraged to bring photos of Austin and Brendan to be displayed on a photo wall, and then made into books for the families. Special guests from the greater hockey community will also be present at the fundraiser. “Austin and Brendan developed many close and long-lasting friendships within LMHA, and
meant a great deal to many people in our minor hockey association. Their loss has greatly affected many of our young people, specifically our midget division,” LMHA president Kevin Green said. “We are attempting to do our part to help the Kingsborough and Wilson families cover the cost of the search for the boys, and to help their closest friends continue to recover from their loss and pay tribute to their friends in the place where they all came together and shared so many memories – on the ice.” For more about this event, visit the LMHA website at www.langleyminorhockey.ca or contact Erinn at info@langleyminorhockey.ca.

Adams said. “I congratulate both Jeff and Bevan for receiving these awards, but I am extremely proud of everyone on our officiating staff. There are always going to be some tough games, but our staff consistently comes to the rink every night to work hard and officiate the game in a very fair and professional manner.”

Olympians stand out at elite meet in New West
Five Langley swimmers took medals away from a meet at New Westminster’s Canada Games Pool.
Langley Olympian Swim Club member Chelsea Borrowdale was a multi-medalist at the Hyack Festival Youth Cup last weekend. The 13-year-old was among the LOSC swimmers visiting New Westminster for the long course (50-metre pool) meet, hosted by Hyack Swim Club at the Canada Games Pool. All swimmers participating in this meet needed to have at least one B.C. AAA provincial qualifying time in order to take part. This meant that the competition was extremely tough and all participants had to race hard in the heats in order to make finals. A number of the Langley swimmers made it into finals, some coming away with medals, best times, and a couple of new qualifying times. Borrowdale led the way by placing first in the 13-14 girls 100m and 200m breaststroke events. She also came away with bronze medals in the 200m and 400m IM swims. Other LOSC medalists included: • Martha Metcalfe, 15, who won silver in the 15 & over girls 400m IM; • Robyn Nakano, 14, who swam to bronze in the 13-14 girls 100m and 200m fly events;
• Justin Schramm, 15, who came away with a bronze in the 15 & over boys 200m fly, along with a new club record in a time of 2:10.05; and • Hillary Metcalfe, 15, who won bronze in the 15 & over girls 200m freestyle. Other LOSC swimmers making finals were Siobhan Board, Mackenzie Dong, Kennedy Douglas, Lisa Grier, Jenessa Hillman, Brayden Kells, Joshua Kim, Ellen Lansing, Renae Ledoux, Kelley MacDonald, and Avery Martin. Renae Ledoux, 13, added a new age group national qualifying time in the 13-14 girls 200m IM (2:34.41) along with teammate Robyn Nakano, 14, who achieved her new age group national time in the 13-14 girls 400m IM (5:22.08). Langley swimmers posting 100 per cent best times at the meet were Mackenzie Dong, Bennett MacDonald, and Hugh McNeill. LOSC head coach Brian Metcalfe said his swimmers were up against some extremely tough competition and had to race hard to make finals. “We came away with some medals, best times, a club record and a couple of new age group national qualifying times so overall it was a very successful meet,” Metcalfe added. LOSC registration is ongoing and the club is currently offering a free month of swimming to new members. Call 604-532-5257 or visit the www. langleyolympians.com for more information.

Corner upgrade sought A development in Aldergrove will clear away a corner dubbed an eyesore. by Matthew Claxton

A Township councillor from Aldergrove was the lone dissenter on a development that will replace a vacant lot on a busy corner. “We’ve lost a lot of good business from the downtown to the Save-On-Foods mall,” said Councillor Bob Long at the May 13 meeting. He was speaking of plans to build four commercial structures on the south-east corner of 264th Street and Fraser Highway. The site once held a gas station and Burger King, but both have been vacant for years, surrounded by fencing. Long argued that adding more commercial space to the edge of Aldergrove will harm the existing merchants in the core, around 272nd Street. That same argument was used against building the Save-On and the surrounding shopping centre more than a decade ago. Long said that what Aldergrove needs now is more residential development. A project on a corner shouldn’t be approved just to improve the looks of an area, he said. “I think we have to do something with this corner,” said Coun. Kim Richter.
