NOBODY INJURED AS LEGAL GROW-OP GOES UP IN SMOKE MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

A stubborn fire that forced the shutdown of Fraser Highway near 240 Street on Sunday was housing a large legal marijuana grow operation. Two floors of the three storey building was housing active crops of marijuana, confirmed Township assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson. The blaze was very difficult to battle because the structure had been altered and compartmentalized to accommodate the grow ops, he said. Firefighters could only battle the fire defensively, not risking going inside, he said. Three people and two dogs were home at the time of the blaze. Everyone got out safely and no injuries were reported. It was around 9:30 a.m., when bystanders noticed a couple people standing on the balcony of the building while the structure was burning. “The two people on the balcony were looking pret-

ty dazed and confused and so the bystanders yelled at them to come down and get away from the fire,” he said. The fire department was called and arrived quickly but already flames were shooting through the roof, said Ferguson. That area of Langley doesn’t have fire hydrants so water tankers were called in from every hall to battle the blaze during a heavy snow fall. Traffic had to be routed around the scene for several hours while multiple units of the Township fire department fought the blaze. The building, that once was a truck-based garage on the bottom with living space above, is totally destroyed. The building loss is estimated around $500,000 to $700,000. Fire crews won’t know the cause of the blaze because they aren’t investigating, said Ferguson. Langley RCMP will not be investigating or looking to pursue charges because it’s a licensed grow operation.

When we think of female pilots, most of us go to the famed aviator Amelia Earhart — the 16th woman in history to be issued a pilot’s license and the first female to fly solo across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In 1937, she mysteriously disappeared while trying to circumnavigate the globe. She paved the way for women in flight. Yet, to this day men still dominate the skies. In fact, only six per cent of commercial pilots are female. While the percentage of female doctors, lawyers and CEOs has skyrocketed, women involved in aviation and aerospace remain few and far between.

Brookswood open house attracts record crowd 53 0 PE O PL E S I G N I N AT EVENT D AN FERGU SO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

The fourth open house about the Brookswood/Fernridge community plan drew a record crowd to Brookswood Secondary School in Langley Wednesday night (Feb. 19). Township staff said 530 people signed in during the open house, an all-time high turnout for a single-evening event. The actual number is likely higher because some people may not have signed in, including the five members of council who attended. “It’s the most I’ve ever seen,” Councillor Bev Dornan told The Times. The open house was the reult of a last-minute decision by Township council, which added one more airing of the plan out of concern there might be confusion with a different community plan. “We thought we’d allow them one more chance before the public hearing,” Dornan explained. Councillor Kim Richter, who also attended the event, called the turnout “excellent” in an online posting. Mayor Jack Froese and Councillors Grant Ward and Charlie Fox attended as well. Staff were on hand to field questions about the plan and collect written responses from residents reacting to displays set up in the school gymnasium. Like previous open houses, the big issue for most visitors appeared to be density and concerns that the plan to allow more housing will affect the quality of life in the area. Local resident Lionel Adams was concerned that permitting bigger residences closer together will mean the loss of large trees. “I just don’t see how they’re going to do it [without cutting down the trees],” Adams told The Times. Another resident, Bernard Froebel, said roads in the area should be widened before more housing goes in. “How can you plan anything

Love all

without roads [already in place]?” Froebel said. “You have to have infrastructure.” The plan would concentrate low-rise apartment buildings and commercial developments at three intersections along 200 Street at 24, 32 and 40 Avenues, with a fourth concentration proposed for 40 Avenue and 208 Street. To handle the increased traffic generated by the higher housing density, the plan calls for widening 200 Street south of 32 Avenue from two lanes to four, and, eventually, doing the same to 40 Avenue, which would function as “an eastward connector into Aldergrove and onto Fraser Highway” in the words of a planning department presentation. Brookswood/Fernridge currently has a population of 13,000, most living in single-family homes. A 1987 community plan adopted by council envisioned a community of 35,500 at build-out, most of them living in houses on 7,000 square foot lots. The 26-year-old plan also called for a commercial centre at 200 Street and 32 Avenue, surrounded by multi-family housing with up to 30 units an acre. A planning department assessment describes the 1987 plan as “outdated, [one that] does not reflect current planning principles, including lessons and insights gained over the past two decades.” Wednesday was the last day residents could make comments on the plan. The deadline for submissions was midnight, Feb. 19, in order to allow staff time to prepare a report summarizing the written responses, both at the open house and online, for council before the public hearing on the plan. That hearing is scheduled for Monday, March 3 at 7 p.m. in Township council chambers. - with files from Black Press

The future of Brookswood’s large trees, many of them coniferous trees such as Douglas firs and cedars, are a major concern of many residents of the area. A protest sign was posted on a stand of trees at the intersection of 200 Street and 36 Avenue, in advance of Wednesday’s open house on the proposed community plan for the area, which calls for significant development.

Family and friends of the late graphic designer Craig Davies attended the unveiling of a metal “art wall” in his honour at McBurney Lane Monday afternoon. Among them were Kate Davies (with red scarf), and granddaughter Keeley (in blue toque). Acting Langley City mayor Ted Schaffer is standing behind them. Davies, who died of cancer last year, was a key member of the Langley business community for more than 30 years and was longtime chair of the Downtown Langley Merchants Association.

Art wall reflects a ‘love of type’ DAN FER GUSON Tim es Reporter

A metal art wall was unveiled in Langley City on Monday afternoon, to honour the memory of the late Craig Davies. The 1.5-metre high curved sheet of aluminum with words like “give back,” “volunteer,” and “make a difference” cut into it stands in McBurney Plaza. Davies, who passed away last summer, operated the Design One Graphic Group for more than 30 years.

His son Grant said the memorial captured his father’s passion for the shape and look of letters. “The words really reflect his love of type,” he said. City of Langley acting mayor Ted Schaffer described Davies as a strong advocate for the business community in downtown Langley and a dedicated volunteer who made significant contributions to events like Arts Alive, the Langley City Community Day parade and the city’s

annual Christmas parade. “Craig epitomized what it means to give back, to support others and to make a difference,” Schaffer said. Davies was named the George Preston Business Person of the Year by Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce in 2011. He served for many years as chair of the Downtown Langley Merchants Association board. More than 20 people attended the event, most of them family and friends.

Bridge opening set for March 7 From Page 3

While the website doesn’t give a reason, poor weather conditions and heavy snowfall is believed to be the cause. The replacement of the aging bridge over the Nicomekl was originally scheduled to open by the end of January. Then, the opening was moved back to Feb. 24 because work fell behind schedule after metal thieves stole custom-made metal hangers from the construction site. The hangers were needed to support gas, water and sewer lines running underneath the bridge, and it took about three weeks to make replacements. As well, the soil around the bridge turned out to be softer than tests first indicated. Traffic will continue to be detoured along the Langley Bypass, Fraser Highway and 216 Street.

Park named after former superintendent R ICHA R D B ULP I TT PA R K A DJ AC E N T T O N E W SC H O O L The new Willoughby neighbourhood park currently being built in southeast Yorkson will be named “Richard Bulpitt Park,” in honour of a former Langley school superintendent who passed away in 2007.

She brought the Girls Fly Too event first to Yellowknife two years ago where it was a huge success and won five international awards, and has also been listed as the single largest event of its kind for Women Of Aviation World Wide Week. She plans to bring that same success and awards to Langley Regional Airport. Langley actually is a perfect fit for such an event. “Langley Township has a thriving aviation industry and Langley Regional Airport is at the heart of that success,” pointed out Township mayor Jack Froese who will emcee the event. In fact, employment in aviation, including helicopters, and the aerospace industry is big business in Langley and there is plenty of opportunity for good paying jobs in maintenance and flight. “Our airport is a hub for transportation, employment and education and there is a lot to inspire the girls and women who participate in the Sky’s No Limit.

Question langeytimes.com

The horrors of last week’s shooting of protesters in Kyiv, Ukraine turned to euphoria by Friday, when it became clear that Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych had been all but deposed. He fled to an unknown location by Friday night, and on Monday the acting government issued an arrest warrant for him. At the root of the lengthy protests was the decision to turn down closer relations with the European Union, instead turning to Russia, its neighbour and former master in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. While this decision was endorsed by many Ukrainian residents, particularly those of Russian origin, many others disagreed. They wish to move towards a more European way of life, with a more open society, better mobility and, hopefully, a stronger democracy and economy. As the shooting started last week, in the midst of the 2014 Winter Olympics in nearby Sochi, Russia, many people wondered what the outcome would be. There was one good element in the timing — Yanukovych’s ally, Russian President Vladimir Putin, could not in any way interfere while the Olympics were underway. Putin has interfered in former Soviet republics before, and he almost certainly was at least thinking of interfering in Ukraine, where Russia has many interests. Yanukovych’s departure from Kyiv, and perhaps most importantly, the opening up of his former villa outside Kyiv to the public, showing his opulent way of living and documenting his spending, have likely put an end to any chance he has of being part of Ukraine’s future. This welcome show of glasnost has likely caused Putin to think twice as well. Ukraine is still in a very fragile state. Now more than ever, it is important for Canada to offer support to the Ukrainian people and help ensure that upcoming elections are free and fair. Canada can have an important voice in Ukraine — this country has the third-largest population of people of Ukrainian background, behind Ukraine and Russia. Our tangible and meaningful support at this time is crucial.

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Finding a doctor they

It’s no secret that finding a doctor who is taking new patients is a difficult task. Unless you have complex care issues or are pregnant, chances are that every nagging cough, aching joint or unending migraine will end with you pulling a number at your local walk-in clinic — or worse, waiting through the night in an emergency room for basic care. Of the 4.4 million people in B.C., it’s believed that 14 per cent are “unattached” to a family physician. That equals more than 600,000 men, women and children who don’t have a singular care provider. Granted, some of those people are perfectly fine with that. But many others are desperate for a family doctor who can oversee their children’s health, their aging parents, or their own regular exams. It’s well known that having a doctor you trust can improve your health. But even for those with family doctors, wait times for appointments can be as long as three to four weeks — not much help for someone suffering acute symptoms. But all the shortages and wait times aside, there are qualified, caring professionals doing their best to help as many people as they can in a day. As we are learning through the GP For Me initiative, doctors are working on long-term solutions for a better system. Taking an active role in your own health care can only help the situation, and there are a number of things we can each do. That includes using the HealthLink website and accessing medical advice through their 811 phone line. Take notes at your doctor’s office, or ask your doctor to write down important information for you. Don’t leave prescription refills to the last minute. If you have a chronic illness, go to clinics and seek out information to help you manage your symptoms. Book appointments in advance when possible, and call if you can’t make an appointment. Every little thing can help alleviate a good, but overwhelmed, health care system. — Agassiz Observer

Why the delay?

Connect the beans Editor: How can a beautiful building plan cause so much agitation and tension? The Coulter Berry saga in Fort Langley appears to be giving some people the jitters. By court affidavit, Diane Morrison of Wendel’s Cafe claims “If the development proceeds, I believe it will have a long term negative effect on the success of Fort Langley as a heritage tourist destination, which in turn will impact my ability to successfully carry on business” (From the lawsuit against Langley Township). Tourists will stop coming to Fort Langley to drink coffee if a new building is built with a third floor? Presumably the scale and density of such a development will destroy Fort Langley as a destination, causing the caffeine business to collapse. As a Fort Langley resident and java junkie, this should be cause for alarm. If the resident coffee drinkers aren’t sufficient to support a local coffee industry, tourists are needed for business viability. But is there any relationship between building size and coffee consumption by tourists? Fort Langley’s first specialty coffee business, Spill the Beans (circa 1994) was located in a big new building, Heritage Manor, which replaced the little Chaz Reid house. When the Township issued the permit for this three-storey building, there was fear it would dwarf the community hall and ruin the town. A couple years later, the little Chevron station on Glover was demolished and replaced with a much bigger building together with another one on the adjacent vacant lot on Mavis. This comparatively massive re-development included a coffee shop (Wendel’s). Some wondered how the village could possibly support a second coffee shop. Today, specialty caffeine concoctions can be had at Euphoria Chocolates, Republica Coffee Roasters, Village Tea & Coffee, Infusion BouTEAque, as well as some of the restaurants. You can even get a latte at the big new Lee’s Market. The newest coffee shop is attached to a big three-storey building, beside a four-storey building. Lelem Cafe, serving J.J. Bean, is a business venture by the Kwantlen First Nation in space owned by Langley Township. Republica Coffee Roasters recently announced plans to come roaring out of Gasoline Alley into the proposed Coulter Berry building, most of which would be three storeys. Building size or architecture does not appear to have any direct or indirect connection to caffeine consumption. Wendel’s claim about its ability to successfully carry on business because of the size of the Coulter Berry building is hard to swallow. I’ll have a cafe mocha with real cream and maple syrup, instead. BRENDA ALBERTS, FORT LANGLEY

Stop fighting good thing Editor: I have recently read several letters from the local NIMBYS, all against the Coulter Berry project. Now it’s my turn. I, for one, totally support it. It was tastefully designed, and would do nothing but enhance the area. Unfortunately, the NIMBYS won a halt, due to a grossly-misinformed, in my opinion, judge. Hopefully, an appeal will be won, and sanity will prevail. I have some advice for all you NIMBYS out there. Get a life and find something meaningful to do. There are dozens of volunteer organizations that need help — find one and channel your energy positively. Stop fighting what is so obviously a good thing. JACK MCEWEN, LANGLEY

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Editor: Is there anyone else out there that finds it a bit strange that a two-lane bridge over the “mighty” Nicomekl River — a small creek most of the year — has taken construction crews some six months to complete? And as I write this, it isn’t for sure that this project is even done yet. We, the gullible taxpayers, might just want to see an accounting (i.e. an audit), as to why it took so long, and how much it cost, in comparison to the original estimates. And don’t even think about blaming it on a few “pipehangers” that were allegedly stolen (The Times, Feb. 11). It seems to me that a lot of projects in our Langley Township are not properly accounted for. It might just be time for a new slate of municipal government, and possibly an independent audit of the goings-on at the Township of Langley. Please don’t bring up our ever-increasing property taxes, in the face of tough economic times.

Work on the Nicomekl River bridge on 56 Avenue has dragged on, and the latest promised opening day (Monday) has now come and gone, but the bridge and roadwork is not finished. Letter writer Win Bromley is demanding an accounting.

WIN BROMLEY, LANGLEY

B.C. needs to smell the roses Editor: When will B.C. wake up and smell the roses? Almost daily I see news reports on American TV talking about the legal sales of marijuana in Colorado and Washington state, and the increase in tourism in those states. Lately the talk has been about the hundreds of millions in tax revenue from the tax on sales of marijuana. This revenue is just a small percentage of the real revenue that is being raised. Tourism is booming in both of those states. Over the past seven years, B.C. tourism has shown steady decline, largely due to excessive hotel room taxation, while Washington state is booming. Tourists of all de-

mographics are pouring in to Washington and Colorado. On Aug. 19, Alaska will vote on marijuana legalization and will no doubt join Washington and Colorado. I lived in Alaska for a few years. It is ultra-conservative and ultra-liberal at the same time. Legalization in Alaska will only serve to make matters worse in B.C., as we will be surrounded by more popular tourism destinations. Maybe B.C. will want to collect some of the pot taxes as well. WALLY MARTIN, LANGLEY

You & The Law

PRESENTS “Buyer beware” is alive and well You’ve searched and searched, and finally you’ve found your dream home. The price seems reasonable. And though not new, the house has been gutted and rebuilt so you don’t have to do a thing to it. It even comes with a mortgage helper – a legal basement suite you can rent out for some extra cash. The realtor, who by agreement acts for you and the seller too, tells you he knows the seller, who is “a good guy” and “does a good job.” Still, you get a home inspection before going through with the purchase. What could go wrong?

They sued the seller, but dropped their lawsuit against him after he died. They also sued the realtor and his firm, but were unsuccessful. The court found that some of the issues that led to the waterflooding problems could have been discovered if Tammi and Ron had obtained the recommended follow-up inspection. The court also found that the realtor did not have a responsibility to determine whether the renovations undertaken by the vendor were in response to grow-op related damage.

Plenty. Tammi and Ron (names changed to protect their identity) found themselves in this situation. Unfortunately, they made a couple of key mistakes along the way that, in the end, cost them over $64,000 in expenses and lost rental income. The seller hadn’t filled in the property disclosure statement to go with the purchase contract. Instead, he’d struck a line through all its questions before signing it. The realtor had added a notation “vendor did not live in house” in explanation. He also downplayed this lack of seller disclosure – which should be a “red flag” to any buyer. But he had recommended Tammi and Ron get a property inspection report, and made that a condition in the purchase contract. Tammi and Ron got the inspection, plus a roof inspection. But they didn’t follow the inspector’s recommendation to get a separate inspection of the dirt floor crawlspace, not viewed by the inspector. Soon after moving in, they faced major problems. Water seeped into the basement from the crawlspace, due to

problems with the foundation and an inadequate perimeter drainage system. This made the rental suite unfit to live in, so Tammi and Ron couldn’t rent it out. They also had to spend a lot of money trying to fix the water problems and other deficiencies. In the course of their investigation, it became clear that at some point the house had been used as an illegal grow-op.

The realtor was also found not liable for failing to warn Tammi and Ron about other defects that he was personally unaware of and which were “latent” (i.e. not reasonably capable of detection upon casual inspection). Once he recommended a proper inspection, it was up to Tammi and Ron to protect themselves by having this done. When buying a home, have all of the recommended inspections performed by qualified inspectors. It’s also a good idea to have your lawyer quickly review your offer before you sign it.

Cold, snowy weather for first homeless walk MORE THAN 150 PEOPLE TOOK TO THE STREETS ALY SSA O’DELL Tim es Reporter

It’s not every day that near-freezing temperatures and thickly falling snow turn out to be the perfect conditions for an outdoor charity event. With snowflake-laced toques and chilled red cheeks, more than 150 walkers set off from Langley’s Gateway of Hope emergency shelter Saturday, Feb. 22, for the first local Coldest Night of the Year walk to raise funds and awareness for homelessness. “Look at how many people came out in the cold, the wet and the snow because they want to say, ‘We care,’” said Troy Gaglardi, director of operations at Gateway of Hope. Local leaders like Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese and Langley City Councillor Gayle Martin were on hand to kick off the event and thank participants for braving the weather to support their community. Across Canada, Coldest Night of the Year has raised $2.4 million through partner groups like the Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope since 2011. The event aims to raise revenue for local charities while providing participants with the opportunity to experience a small hint of the challenges faced by those experiencing homelessness in their community. A 2011 homelessness count found 105 persons trying to make ends meet without hous-

prised when far more walkers showed up for the 5:15 p.m. start that had registered online. Participants walked two, five or 10 kilometres and were greeted back at the Gateway of Hope with hot drinks and a warm chili dinner with some of the facility’s residents. “One of the reasons why we thought that this Coldest Night of the Year initiative was a good one was that it communicates that the Salvation Army is here in town and we want to provide to those that have needs,” he said, explaining this is a crucial message both for the majority of Langley’s community as well as those who may be seeking services.

Coulter Berry open house draws more support than opposition

WILLOWBROOK SHOPPING CENTRE Food Fair 533-1917

There were more supporters than opponents of the Coulter Berry building at a Thursday night open house arranged by developer Eric Woodward in Fort Langley, to present a revised design for the controversial construction project. More than half of the more than 200 people who filled the Fort Langley heritage community hall to capacity raised their hands in support, when the question was posed at the end of the twohour meeting. There were only two undecided. It was a low-key event, without the heated rhetoric Woodward said has been directed against him for trying to build the three-storey project that is bigger than the Fort Langley size limits. He projected one example on the wall, a response card that said “obey and respect the law, you greedy bastard.” Woodward said some of the comments have been “regrettable.” With the exception of a few muttered heckles at the back of the room, people who spoke against the project at the open

house were uniformly civil, maintaining the building as proposed was simply too big, with one warning “we could be creating something that doesn’t see a lot of sunshine” while supporters said the building with its mix of retail, office and housing would be an asset to the community.

If we have to re-apply, why not make it better. ERIC WOODWARD

“I’m very interested in that third floor [where the housing will be]” said one man in a wheelchair, who argued the community needs smaller residences for people downsizing or in need of disabled-friendly accommodation. Woodward was pressed about the underground parking, something supporters said would make it easier to find spaces in downtown Fort Langley, while critics said it was ex-

cessive. The look of the project has been altered to make the building appear like several heritage structures, for the application by Woodward to have the area re-zoned to allow construction of the taller building. The rezoning was something the judge who ruled against the previous approval hinted at when he ruled the Township broke its own rules to approve the first version of the project, saying that would not violate the law. The builder defended the design, calling it “one of the greenest buildings that can possibly be built.” “If we have to re-apply, why not make it better,” Woodward said. Woodward added he has no plan to get involved in the court appeal by the Township, but he supports the municipal challenge. “The Township should be worried about varying a building by one foot [with that precedent],” Woodward said.

Langley School District is looking to align its spring break with the rest of schools in Metro Vancouver. One year of Langley’s three year calendar plan doesn’t align with Metro school calendars. Langley School District was the first district to approve a three year calendar plan which was for the school years 2013/2014, to 2015/2016. This came after the Board of Education rejected a pro-

posal to look at year-round schooling. Since then, Metro has done their three year calendar approval and it does not align with Langley’s 2015/2016 school year (the other years do align). The 2015/2016 spring break is currently scheduled for March 21 - April 1. A change in Langley would include ‘sliding’ spring break ahead one week, making it March 14-28 (both configurations include Good Friday and Easter Monday).

West Su bmitte d pho to

The members of Victoria-based West My Friend, from left: Adam Bailey (bass), Alex Rempel (mandolin), Jeff Poynter (accordion) and Eden Oliver (guitar and flute) will make Langley the second stop on the Western Canada tour. The band, which features two Langley Fine Arts School graduates, will perform music from their new album, When the Ink Dries.

ENSEMBLE BRINGS THEIR FOLK-ACOUSTIC SOUND TO UNITED CHURCHES OF LANGLEY BR EN D A AN D E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

Following their southern swing last summer, West My Friend has turned its collective eye to the east — well, kind of. The Victoria-based acoustic ensemble, comprised of four UVic grads — including two former Langley Fine Arts School students — is returning to Langley next month. The March 7 concert, at the United Churches of Langley, will be just the second show in a road trip that will take the band around B.C. and into Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba as they introduce songs from their new album, When the Ink Dries. Jeff Poynter, who plays accordion in the band, graduated from LFAS in 2007, while his bandmate Alex Rempel — mandolin — earned his own dogwood there and headed to the Island the following year. Eden Oliver — vocals, guitar, flute — and Adam Bailey — bass and vocals — round out the group. All but Bailey were classmates in the music department at UVic. He studied political science instead, but introduced himself to the trio one night after a con-

cert in a Victoria café. The band happened to be looking for a bassist, but Bailey was living in Toronto at the time, so they sought out another musician to fill the role. By the time they found themselves once again in need of a bass player, Bailey had returned to Victoria and West My Friend, as it exists today, was formed. Since then, they have been making original music and playing it wherever and whenever the opportunity presents itself. Last summer, the ensemble toured down the west coast, making a stop in Langley (with an outdoor gig at the local farmers market) before setting off for Washington, Oregon and California. During that tour, they played at universities, clubs, coffee shops and arts centres. Among the gigs also were several private house parties, which were booked through a website — concertsinyourhome. com — where a band performs for the householder and then is given accommodation for the night. Though it’s still more popular in the U.S. it’s “definitely a growing thing” north of the border, said Poynter. During that tour, the band performed

songs from its first album, 2012’s Place, but mixed in several of their more recent creations as well. “It’s good to tour with new material,” said Poynter. “It helps us to tighten it up and decide where we want to go with it.” When The Ink Dries, has a bit of everything, he said. From songs featuring just the four of them — “like you’d hear live” – to others that feature a 27-piece “mini-orchestra” including strings, brass and an organ. One of the singles off the new CD, Missing You, is available to listen to at no charge on the band’s website. With its pop music style, it’s not really typical of the band’s sound, said Poynter, adding that West My Friend is better known for its more folky guitar and mandolin sound, creating an acoustic blend of instruments and four-part harmonies. “Eden wrote it on a piano. Of course, we don’t travel with a piano,” said Poynter. So, while out on the road, it falls to him to take over on the accordion. Poynter actually studied saxophone while earning his degree, but he took up the accordion as well, after receiving one from the parents of one of his own music

students. He had studied piano, so the portable instrument was easy enough to pick up on his own, he said. If fact, every member of West My Friend is a multi-instrumentalist. Starting out, at concerts they would play a bit of everything from the glockenspiel to the banjo, changing instruments on the fly from one song to the next. “It was fun and the audience liked it,” said Poynter. But eventually, it got “a little ridiculous” he added. “We decided it was probably a good idea to choose one.” Poynter, who was playing both saxophone and accordion, asked his bandmates to decide for him. It was unanimous. Poynter and his accordion — joined by Oliver, Rempel and Bailey (and their respective instruments) — will take the stage at the United Churches of Langley on Friday March 7 at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets: $15 regular admission and $10 students/seniors. Advance tickets are available at the United Churches of Langley, 21562 Old Yale Rd. ( at Five Corners in Murrayville).

Fresh off its January production of Holy Mo and Spew Boy, which featured a cast of just three performers, Imagine That! is preparing to take audiences on an epic journey through Middle Earth â&#x20AC;&#x201D; where theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet the Hobbit himself, Bilbo Baggins, as well as Gandalf the Grey, Gollum and a band of dwarves

who are determined to reclaim their home under the Lonely Mountain from the evil dragon Smaug. Many among the cast of 16 will take on multiple parts and collectively perform more than 25 roles. Donning the familiar grey robes of the wizard Gandalf, is Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Derek Usher, a regular player on the Venue stage. With the second of three major studio films dedicated to the book recently in theatres, the viewing public no doubt has a particular image in its collective mind of characters and sets, Usher agreed.

Actor’s challenge is to ignore what’s been done before From Page 18

But what they’ll see on the stage is very much a reflection of the source material, he added. “Faith (Toronchuck, director and producer) doesn’t want us to watch the movies until afterward — which is hard, because Gandalf is iconic,” said Usher. The challenge for the actor is to ignore what’s been done in the past and create a wizard that, for him, reflects Tolkein’s vision. “We’re all informed by different things we see. “I do more of a character study of who I think the writer intended (Gandalf) to be,” he said. For Usher, the role offers a chance to stretch his own creative muscles, but he’s also very appreciative of the opportunities the small theatre company gives to younger performers. “The thing I love about Faith and Imagine That! productions is that she takes great care about speaking into people’s lives (and creating) positive affirmations. “It’s always an ensemble cast. It’s non-competitive. Everyone gets stage time, everyone gets to play. “The arts in general can be very competitive — to a destructive level. Faith works really hard to make sure that doesn’t enter into it.” As for the majestic shot-in-New Zealand landscapes and some of the book’s more magical locations — Rivendell, Laketown and Hobbiton, as well as the many scenes that are set underneath the mountains of Middle Earth — well, there are sufficiently clever ways of handling that on a small stage, with as few cumbersome set changes as possible, noted Usher.

For the most part, the action will take place through interior scenes — whether inside Bilbo’s hobbit hole or Lord Elrond’s house, Gollum’s cave or the dwarves’ mountain kingdom. “You can get a lot of different environments in a small space, if you’re intelligent about it,” said Usher. A master cabinet maker has been helping to make the sets, including Bilbo’s iconic round door, even more spectacular, he added. “We’ve got some beautiful set pieces.” Usher, who works in restoration services, is also a multi-instrumentalist who divides his performance time between a pair of bands, including one called Dialect 9, the sole purpose of which is to fight against human trafficking. It was when his son became involved in theatre about seven years ago that Usher got his start with Imagine That,

Langley poet, playwright among KPU symposium panelists In a world saturated by reality TV and tabloid news, it has become increasingly difficult to negotiate what we perceive as truth. With that in mind, Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s creative writing, journalism and communications studies departments have invited renowned Canadian writers, artists, journalists and filmmakers to examine the challenges and rewards of using print and film to tell the truth. Truth Be Told is a free one-day educational symposium that will feature discussions about truth at the personal, familial, community, national and global levels. The keynote address will be given by the award-winning author of Eating Dirt, Charlotte Gill (Sunshine Coast). Panelists include: the Chilean-Canadian author, poet and political activist, Carmen Rodriguez (Vancouver); award-winning writer and former director of programming for the Vancouver Queer Film Festival, Amber Dawn (Vancouver) (How Poetry Saved My Life),and; Kwantlen First Nation poet and playwright, Joseph A. Dandurand (Langley). KPU invites the local community to join its students, instructors and staff for a day of discussion, engagement and learning. Truth Be Told symposium: WHEN: Thursday, Feb. 27, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. WHERE: Surrey Conference Room, Cedar Building, KPU Surrey (12666 72 Ave.) INFO: Free admission.

Then about three years ago, he was coaxed onto the stage when the theatre company mounted a production of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Next, he took on the dual role of Captain Hook and Mr. Darling in a production of Peter Pan. Despite the fact all of the plays have been translated onto the big screen, the response Usher is getting tells him the production will be well received once it opens on Feb. 28. “I found when we did The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, around the same time the earlier movies in the series happened, people were not as excited about it. “When I mention The Hobbit, their eyes light up,” he said. ••• The Hobbit journeys onto the stage at

Langley Community Music School welcomes guitarist Daniel Bolshoy to the Rose Gellert Hall on Saturday, March 1, at 7:30 p.m. Bolshoy will perform selected works from his new CD, including pieces by Paraguayan composer Agustin Pio Barrios, and the Spanish composers Joaquin Rodrigo and Regino Sainz de la Maza. “We are delighted to feature a solo guitarist once again in our concert series,” said Elizabeth Bergmann, artistic director concerts for LCMS. “Celebrated virtuoso, Daniel Bolshoy, will be playing an entire program of original works composed for the guitar. “It’s unusual for him to play a concert program without any transcriptions and only original works. This is a concert not to be missed.” “The styles that the programmed pieces cover are quite diverse, from French Impressionism, to highly romantic tributes to Chopin, to South American folk influences, Spanish nationalism, a very recent American composition which pays homage to an old culture (the suite Next Year, which evokes the old city of Jerusalem) to Brazilian Jazz,” said Bolshoy.

Daniel Bolshoy’s upcoming performance at LCMS promises to offer a diverse range of styles, from French impressionism to South American folk. He’ll take the stage at Rose Gellert Hall on March 1. “All the music is quite virtuosic and demanding, and I think very appealing to listen to. I hope the audience enjoys it. I certainly enjoy playing it.” Bolshoy is committed to bringing the guitar to the attention of audiences everywhere. He is regularly praised for his friendly and informative spoken introductions, and progressive programming of solo and chamber music. His concert tours take him

from prestigious international concert stages to remote villages and house-concerts. Mr. Bolshoy is the head of the guitar division at the University of British Columbia School of Music.

‘They wanted it more’

GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s

Coach Ben Josephson had his players staring across the net, watching the Alberta Golden Bears celebrate the Canada West men’s volleyball championship trophy. The Bears had just shocked the Trinity Western Spartans 3-0 (25-20,26-24,26-24) on Saturday night at the Langley Events Centre in the Canada West Final Four gold medal match. “It is painful to watch somebody take something that you were working hard to get,” he said afterwards. “(Alberta) earned it, they wanted it more than we did and that’s the feeling we get. “We were out-worked, out-prepared and out-played.” The Bears were the third seed at while Trinity Western had gone 20-2 in the regular season — 11-0 at the LEC — including a pair of head-to-head wins over Alberta. “We didn’t match the level of desire they had,” Josephson said, adding he would have to watch the game film to see if the Golden Bears had done something dramatically different than they did during their regular season matches. “Statistically, the game was almost entirely a wash, so when

it is like that, usually whoever wants it more makes those one or two big plays to swing a set and they made them (tonight) and we didn’t.” “We don’t think you learn anything from losing (but) lessons get revealed,” Josephson added. “So now the lesson is on the table. If you don’t play your top level in a championship game, it is difficult to win.” Both Alberta and Trinity Western teams had already qualified for this week’s Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships in Calgary after winning their Canada West Final Four semifinals the night before at the LEC. Alberta beat Thompson Rivers while the Spartans beat Manitoba 3-1 (25-17,25-21,22-25,25-19). The Bears open this week’s CIS championships (Feb. 27 to March 1) as the top seed while the Spartans are seeded third and draw No. 6 Western in the quarter-finals. This is Trinity Western’s fourth straight trip to nationals and after winning titles in 2011 and 2012, Western upset the Spartans in the 2013 quarter-finals. “The poker analogy comes to mind,” Josephson said in previewing the championships. “All you need is a chip and a chair and you can win the tournament. Now we have a chair

at the table and a chip on our shoulder because we’re still upset about last year’s quarter-finals. “We are pretty excited about the chance to go and redeem ourselves.” ••••• Josephson picked up his second Canada West coach of the year award while Spartans setter Adam Schriemer earned the conference rookie of the year award. And Lucas Van Berkel and Nick Del Bianco were both named first team all-stars. “Those are team awards,” Josephson said. “I have a great coaching staff, a really supportive wife, who is single-parenting my kids half the time, and I have great players. “They work hard and they do what I am asking them to do. And if any of those aren’t in place, you can’t be recognized.” Schriemer quarterbacked the team to a conference-best .313 hitting percentage. “He helped guide our team to a conference best in wins and attack efficiency, which are the two most relevant statistics in judging a setter,” Josephson said. “He still has a long way to go, but to have as much poise and understanding of the position at his age is a rare quality.”

Trinity Western Spartans setter Adam Schriemer was named Canada West rookie of the year. But the Spartans fell in straight sets 3-0 to the Alberta Golden Bears in the Canada West Final Four gold medal match Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. Both teams are in Calgary this week for the CIS national championships.

Gators run out of upsets in final WALNUT GROVE JUNIOR BOYS WILL PLAY AT PROVINCIALS

Walnut Grove Gators’ Ethan Kano-McGregor elevates for a jump shot during his team’s loss to Langley Christian in the Langley district championship game earlier this month. The Gators rebounded from that loss to place second at the Fraser Valley championships with Kano-McGregor picking up all-star honours.

In the end, the Walnut Grove Gators came one upset short of a championship. The junior boys basketball team was competing at the Fraser Valley championships, and after knocking off the fourth, fifth and top seeds, came up on the wrong end of a 42-39 score to No. 3 Panorama Ridge on Saturday night at Abbotsford’s MEI Secondary. Walnut Grove finished second at the Langley District championships on Feb. 6, losing 41-33 to the Langley Christian Lightning. And that loss — which came with the Gators battling a teamwide flu — cost them as they were seeded 13th for the Fraser Valley championships. But fully healthy, the Gators showed they were worthy of a higher seed. They opened the tournament with a 68-49 win over Sullivan Heights and then edged No. 4 Fleetwood Park 46-43 to make the main draw of the Fraser Valleys. In the quarter-finals, Walnut Grove beat No. 5 Yale

72-63 to earn a date with top-seed W.J. Mouat in the semifinals. The Gators found themselves trailing by 10 points with four minutes to go, but Daniel Stead poured in a dozen points over a two-minute span to force overtime. And after Mouat hit a three-pointer to force double overtime, Walnut Grove took control in the second overtime period to win 65-57. Again the team fell behind at half versus Panorama Ridge, but were able to cut a 10-point deficit at the break down to a single point. That was as close as they could get, however, falling by three points. “We just came up short,” said Walnut Grove coach Jon Fast. “We played a really tough team and we fought back. “We kept stopping them, and we had our chances (to take the lead) and just couldn’t put it away.” The team did still qualify for the B.C. provincial basketball championships, which get underway tomorrow (Wednesday) and run

until Saturday. Both the junior boys and junior girls provincials are running concurrently at the Langley Events Centre. No local teams qualified on the junior girls side. Walnut Grove is seeded third for the tournament and they open play against Duchess Park on Feb. 26 at 1 p.m. “We knew we could make it here,” Fast said. His team has just four losses on the season. The Gators’ Ethan Kano-McGregor picked up the team’s lone all-star award at Fraser Valleys. ••••• Zachary Vanderploeg earned all-star honours as the Credo Christian Kodiaks placed fourth at the Fraser Valley championships. The Kodiaks lost 81-78 to Maple Ridge Christian in the bronze medal at the Single-A Fraser Valley senior boys basketball championships at Abbotsford Christian. The loss was costly as the top three teams advanced to the B.C. provincial championships next week at the Langley Events Centre.

The Kodiaks were the second seed for the eight-team tournament, but after beating Agassiz 84-32 in the quarter-finals, they lost 5241 to No. 3 Unity Christian in the semifinals. Credo then defeated the host Abbotsford Christian Knights 51-50 to advance to the third-place game. ••••• At the Double-A senior boys Fraser Valley basketball championships, Langley Christian Lightning’s Travis Muller earned a second-team all-star award. The Lightning went 1-2 at the tournament, beating Surrey Christian 76-71 in their first game but closing with losses to G.W. Graham 95-80 and St. John Brebeuf 77-56. The tournament was hosted at Chilliwack’s G.W. Graham. D.W. Poppy also made the championship round as they knocked off Langley Fundamental 66-38 in a qualifier game on Feb. 15. But the Redhawks went 0-2, losing 72-55 to Delview and 78-47 to Archbishop Carney.

The Gators senior girls basketball team — which is predominantly made up of Grade 11 players — was seeded sixth for the tournament, but an opening round 55-34 loss to No. 11 Maple Ridge put them on the wrong side of the draw and they

could not recover. Walnut Grove did bounce back to win 76-37 over Chilliwack in their next game, but lost 82-66 to MEI in the double knockout format. MEI wound up fifth in the Fraser Valley while Maple Ridge was seventh. The Gators were recognized as the most sportsmanlike team of the 16team tournament, which was won by Holy Cross (see page 23).

There was no sugarcoating coach Neil Brown’s feelings. “Bad clock management, bad coaching, they weren’t ready to do it, it just sucked,” said the veteran bench boss of the Brookswood Bobcats senior girls basketball team. He was speaking after his team let a late lead slip away, losing 69-66 to the Holy Cross Crusaders at the Langley Events Centre in the championship final of the Triple-A Fraser Valley basketball tournament on Saturday night. A Jessie Brown three-pointer had Brookswood up 66-59 with 3:25 to play, but that would be the last basket the ’Cats would score as the second-seed Crusaders scored the final 10 points to win. It was the first loss against B.C. competition this season for the No. 1 Bobcats, who entered the game 36-0. Holy Cross’ Alli Buck hit the winning buck with 6.1 seconds left and the Crusaders added a pair of free throws with two seconds left to pad the lead. The Bobcats attempted a desperation threepoint attempt at the buzzer to no avail. What really had Brown upset after the game was the decision making of some of his key players. “Tayla Jackson and Jessie Brown didn’t want to play, took themselves out of the game and Ace (Aislinn Konig) can’t do it by herself,” he said. He was referring to Brown — his daughter — and Jackson being saddled with foul troubles throughout the game. What had him upset was the fact he felt the fouls were unnecessary. This was the third meeting

became too reliant on their outside shot. “But we should have stopped just relying on the shot from the outside,” she said. Konig finished with 22 points while Jessie Brown had 15 and Jackson had 10 points. “We weren’t as ready as we should have been,” Konig said. “And this was our third time playing them and we should have known them.” The loss was very similar to last season’s Fraser Valley final when the Bobcats led for much of the game but wound up losing 73-67 to the Maple Ridge Ramblers. Last year, Brookswood was able to shake off that loss and advance to the provincial final, eventually finishing with the silver medal. Brown also referred to a few years ago when — with the majority of this group of players on both sides — Brookswood beat Holy Cross in the Fraser Valley final but the Crusaders beat the ’Cats in the provincial final. He said hopefully his team can turn the tables this time around as both will compete at the B.C. provincial championships, which run March 4 to 8 at the Langley Events Centre. ••••• The Brookswood Bobcats junior girls basketball team placed sixth at the Fraser Valley championships. The ’Cats, who entered seeded eight, lost 44-18 to the No. 2 Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers in the fifth place game. Brookswood went 3-2 at the championships with wins over Samuel Roberts Technical (42-30), Holy Cross (34-25) and Abbotsford (49-36). They also lost to Riverside 44-26.

A dominating display from Sophie Carpentier helped the Trinity Western Spartans book a return trip to the national championships. The Spartans women’s volleyball team faced a must-win match on Saturday at UBC’s War Memorial Gymnasium against the UBC-Okanagan Heat in the Canada West Final Four bronze medal match. And Carpentier finished with 19 kills as the Spartans won 3-1 (18-25,25-16,26-24,25-14). Trinity Western was playing for third after losing 3-0 (25-17,25-21,25-23) the night before to the Manitoba Bisons. With their third-place finish, the Spartans move on to their fourth straight appearance at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national championships, which run Feb. 28 to March 2 in Regina. The Spartans, who are seeded third, face the No. 6 Dalhousie Tigers in the quarter-finals. Prior to the Canada West championships, Carpentier, Alicia Perrin and Nikki Cornwall earned Canada West conference honours. Carpentier, an outside hitter, was named a first team all-star after finishing the season second in the conference in both kills (4.14 per set) and points (4.96 per set). She also led Canada West with 0.51 aces per set. Perrin was named to the second team after leading the conference with 1.61 blocks per set and averaging 3.65 points per set. Cornwall was named to the Canada West rookie team after averaging 6.52 assists per set. ••••• A 5-3 victory helped the Trinity Western Spartans men’s hockey team clinch a post-season berth after a two-year hiatus. The Spartans improved to 10-12 on the season and leapfrogged the Thompson Rivers WolfPack for third place in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League standings after their win over the visiting WolfPack on Feb. 20 at the Langley Events Centre. The Spartans were up 4-0 but the WolfPack scored three straight to make it 4-3 with 13 minutes to go. “They got a couple of quick ones when we were trying to do too many things that we’re not designed to do,” said Trinity Western coach Barret Kropf. “We’re not a team that can play as individuals. We are a hard working team that has to play as a full unit. “We got the guys refocused heading into the third period and we got the win.” Andrew Wheeler, Trevor Beaupre, Cody Stephenson and JP Villeneuve had given the Spartans a 4-0 lead. Doug Gordon added the insurance marker to make it 5-3. Harry Fredeman made 31 saves for the win. The Spartans close the regular season with a pair of road games against Eastern Washington and Selkirk on Friday and Saturday.
