Info sought in vicious Langley City hammer attack

Langley RCMP is seeking public assistance with their investigation into a vicious attack on a man in Langley City who tried to prevent a robbery. On Saturday, Oct. 18, just after 3 a.m., police were called to the area of the 7-Eleven convenience store in the 20200 block of 56 Avenue. Police believe the two attackers, using a handgun, were in the process of robbing a female when they were interrupted by a male. At that point, one of the suspects pointed a firearm at the man’s head. His partner in crime went to a vehicle and returned with a hammer which he used to hit the victim in the head, kicking him at

City crime petition takes off like rocket M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r

A Langley City senior fed up with crime and open drug use, prostitution and unsavoury activities happening in her town has submitted a 500-signature

petition to city hall asking for change. And she said residents are clamouring to sign more petitions, said Betty (not her real name). “I’m not an activist. I’m a con-

cerned citizen. But when I started bringing this petition around to stratas and businesses, it was like I took a cork off Mt. St. Helen’s,” she said. The group, now called Concerned Langley Citizens For Safe-

MONIQUE TAMMINGA L an gley Tim es

Langley City has become a magnet for crime, open drug use, homelessness and prostitution, say organizers of a petition that has already collected 500 signatures calling for change.

ty, only started collecting signatures three weeks ago. “Everybody has a story to tell us about what they’ve seen or what is going on. Our parks and playgrounds are no longer safe.” She has heard stories of parents walking into the Douglas Park bathroom with their child, only to see a person shooting up. A woman was witnessed naked, giving herself a full sponge bath in the Langley City library washroom, she claims. She has also handed in letters from local, established businesses like banks, that have experienced many issues around homeless people sleeping and defecating on their properties. One bank had to close its ATM after hours and another had to add security staff. Open drug dealing is also an issue all over town, she said. The group has met with acting mayor Ted Schaffer and City manager Francis Cheung, but nothing was accomplished so far, Betty said. She questions the amount of social services concentrated in the downtown core, from welfare and the food bank, to social service agencies of all kinds. “It just seems to me that the left hand doesn’t know what the right

hand is doing. All these services need to work together. Group these service providers together so they can work collectively,” she suggests. While she is frustrated with the number of homeless people and shopping carts, the group wants to see help and dignity for those living on the streets. “They need a safe place to go and have a shower. That is clearly needed sooner rather than later,” she said. “We as citizens need to take responsibility too,” she notes. She hopes stratas will take advantage of the upcoming Block Watch seminar. Signatures are still being gathered and will be handed into city hall again. In the meantime, Schaffer has said the City has reacted to crime problems by adding two on-call reserve police officers and a bylaw officer on weekend evenings. It has instituted surveillance footage at Innes Corner, another open drug dealing spot. Schaffer laments the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in Canada’s constitution as a major stumbling block to cleaning up crime. The justice system has created a catch-and-release cycle, he said.

Willoughby transit could be improved next year DA N FERGU SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

Willoughby residents could see some improvement to their bus service, Sany Zein, the TransLink director of infrastructure and network management, said Wednesday. Zein was taking questions at the Oct. 22 fourth annual Langley Economic Forum (which had the theme of “the Future of Transportation in Langley”) when he was asked about a bus service to connect commuters in the densely-developed Willoughby neighbourhood to the Carvolth park and ride. “If all the pieces fall into place, we could have really good news in a couple of months,” Zein said, adding TransLink is looking at freeing up the needed buses by “optimizing” existing transit service, which involves shuffling vehicles away from less busy routes. Zein said TransLink has enough money to operate ex-

isting services at current levels, but expanding transit in the future will require additional funds. Zein said public transit isn’t keeping up with the growth in communities south of the Fraser River like Langley and Surrey, as well as Maple Ridge. Rapid transit, in particular, is “very under-provided [in those communities]” Zein said. “South of the Fraser is where the growth has been happening and we haven’t been able to keep up because of lack of funding,” Zein said, adding “we need to do a lot more.” Whether the money is available, he said, will be decided some time next year when a referendum is expected on a multi-billion proposal to beef up transit by a Lower Mainland mayor’s task force. That plan calls for an expansion of light rail transit from Surrey to Langley within the next 10 years.

In response to another question, Zein said TransLink planners were reviewing the increasing amount of vehicle traffic along 16 Avenue, “actively looking into the short term, medium term and long-term future of that corridor” and he expected a report would be ready some time next year. Asked if TransLink would provide washrooms for older riders, Zein said the transit agency is developing a “washroom policy” that would call for public washrooms at key locations. Another speaker at the forum was Andrew Hind, a senior planner with the B.C. ministry of transportation and infrastructure, who said the province eventually plans to widen Highway one to five lanes all the way to Abbotsford. Hind also said the new bridge that will replace the George Massey tunnel will be “eight to 10” lanes wide and will charge tolls.

D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s

Sany Zein, TransLink director of infvrastructure andnetwork management, said improvements to bus esrvice in Willoughby could be in place early next year. He was speaking at the Township’s fourth annual economic forum on Wednesday.

Beware of cat burglars, police advice North Langley residents Langley RCMP are warning home owners to lock their doors and set alarms after a number of night time break-ins while residents are sleeping. A cat burglar or burglars have struck a number of times in the past week in the North Langley

area, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. Police suggest to use an alarm while at home and when leaving. In some cases, robbers will abandon their efforts when the audible alarm is sounded. They also warn to never leave

house keys hidden outside. Older garage door openers are easy to hack, so look into modernizing ones 15 to 20 years old. Additionally, some people are devastated after a break-in and would benefit from support. Cli-

ent Support Services (formerly Victim Services) is available and will assist with any necessary referrals or support, including the scheduling of a free home security inspection by Block Watch volunteers. Home security inspection vol-

unteers are trained and security-cleared individuals who will conduct an inspection of your home and provide you with information and suggest changes for increased safety. To arrange an inspection, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Losing a child is something no parent should ever have to endure. Chantal and Ryan Blundell lost their beautiful six-year-old son Keian on New Year’s Day, Jan. 1, 2014, after a hard fight against an aggressive form of leukemia. But even in those last days of his young life, Keian was thinking of other sick kids just like him, wanting to bring love and joy into their lives. On his own, Keian wanted to bring toys to children living at BC Children’s Hospital and Canucks Place Children’s Hospice. By the second year, family and friends got word of what he was doing and he got to deliver 300 toys to sick children two

weeks before he passed away. “This year, as difficult as it will be for us, we have chosen to continue with his wish of helping others — specifically, families that are like ours that are suffering amongst their child’s cancer diagnosis and the many, many children with a chronic or terminal illness,” said Chantal. “Keian’s Holiday Wish Toy Drive” is already begun and toy donations will be accepted until Dec. 15. There are drop off locations all over Metro Vancouver. The drop off location in Langley is at Keian’s preschool at West Langley Elementary, 9403 212 Street. “This is Keian’s legacy and we feel, at this time, that it is one of the only things that can

bring meaning to our life. “Remembering him, honouring him and continuing with his legacy,” said Chantal. There will also be a Team Keian bottle drive on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre. All proceeds from the bottle drive will go to families affected by childhood cancer. Friends of the Blundells did a bottle drive more than a year ago for Keian when he was very sick and Chantal and Ryan had both quit their jobs to be with him full-time. The bottle drive, at George Preston Rec Centre, had such a huge amount of bottles donated that the depots were overwhelmed. It raised a record $5,000 from contributed cans and bottles.

Differences set aside in face of common enemy From Page 1

They were told it was the police, and shortly afterwards Sergeant at Arms Kevin Vickers came into both caucus rooms to tell the MPs that one gunman had been shot further inside the building, in front of the library. Warawa said Vickers, other security guards and police did an â&#x20AC;&#x153;incredible job,â&#x20AC;? chasing after the gunman and then systematically searching the building and entire area to see if there were any others. As a result, the MPs were moved to another secure area, but it took almost 12 hours before Warawa was finally able to leave the building. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be released until they

were sure things were safe.â&#x20AC;? The Langley MP has great admiration for Vickersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; action in shooting the gunman, and praised him for his professionalism, as well as all the others who he said â&#x20AC;&#x153;did not back away. They went NAT HAN into danger. They are CIRILLO all heroes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Today (Thursday), we were constantly thanking them for their actions,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Before he left he visited the site of the shooting. There are bullet holes in the wood and stone, and evidence of the tragedy that unfolded there is very obvious, he said. Warawa said the two Canadian soldiers who died in incidents this week, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, will be remembered as true heroes in giving their lives for Canada, and he expects they will be remembered and honoured at Remembrance Day events in Ottawa and around the country on Tuesday, Nov. 11.

Question langeytimes.com

There are three lessons to take away from last Wednesday’s shootings on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The first one — one that played out in front of radio listeners and TV viewers throughout the day — is not to over-react. After Michael Zehaf-Bibeau shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and made a beeline for the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings, those tasked with security there did their duty. They tried to stop him at the main entrance. They followed the man as he headed down the Hall of Honour, near where the NDP and Conservative caucuses were meeting, and continued to exchange gunfire with him. Finally, Sergeant at Arms Kevin Vickers was able to fire at him and bring him down. The media coverage of the events of the day was ongoing, but it was not filled with over-reactions. Instead, it was done in a moderate tone, with facts relayed as they became available. The only portion which may have been overdone was constant replaying of the grainy video, taken on a cellphone by a Globe and Mail reporter, of the actual shooting. That provided context and sound effects and was very effective. An investigation is underway, and it includes a detailed look at a video the shooter left behind. It is clear that the man felt disconnected from society and that he was at least influenced by messages from ISIS on social media. He also had been a crack cocaine addict. Beyond that, it is unclear what influenced him to take the actions he did. The federal government needs to take the same approach — move slowly and not over-react. There is no need for drastic changes to laws which will impact on freedoms of ordinary people. There may well be a need for increased surveillance and perhaps a blocking of social media messages from known ISIS activists. The second lesson is that there is clearly a need for better security at the Parliament Buildings. Part of this may be due to a variety of forces being responsible for various aspects of security, but access to Parliament through the front door is too easy. If this had been a co-ordinated attack, there could have been enormous repercussions. The third lesson is the need for all political parties to co-operate more often, as shown in Thursday’s extraordinary actions in the House of Commons. Parties can and should disagree — but they can also agree on many measures to make Canada safer and fight this new type of “lone wolf” terrorism. Canadians would greatly appreciate a parliament that works for them, not just for partisan advantage.

In the light of last week’s tragedies, is there a need for tighter anti-terrorism laws in Canada?

If Kinder Morgan thought it would have an easier time than Enbridge getting broad community support for its oil pipeline project, it was wrong. Enbridge was a greenfield project crossing great swaths of iconic and untouched wilderness. Kinder Morgan’s is a brownfield project — a twinning of a 62-year-old pipeline in, for the most part, an existing right-of-way. Dig up the ground next to the old pipe, put in a new one, and call it a day, right? There is, however, the fear of a catastrophic oil spill with increased tanker traffic once the oil gets to Burnaby. Then there is worry over pipeline leaks or ruptures all the way up the line where it crosses a great number of waterways, including the Vedder River. The National Energy Board (NEB) heard from elders in the local First Nations community last week how this project is another example through history of the Xwelitem — a Halq’emeylem word for non-natives — displacing people, taking land and taking resources. From the point of contact, the Sto:lo have been hit with smallpox, fur traders, the gold rush, the Indian Act, the Fisheries Act, the railroad, the Trans-Canada Highway, forestry, and in 1952, the existing pipeline was built. Never mind support from non-native citizens and environmental groups, Kinder Morgan is in the middle of discovering whether or not B.C.’s First Nations community is willing, after centuries of it, to take one more incursion, one more displacement, one more disruption. — Chilliwack Times

Poem decries the attack on soldiers Editor: I wrote the following poem about the two recent attacks on Canadian soldiers, in which two soldiers died. October 2014 How can he treat a soldier this way? Those who give their lives in service of their country. How can he treat a soldier this way? Those who defend us and our freedoms. Why did they treat our soldiers this way? Despising the very land of their birth. Why did they treat our soldiers this way? Killing our friends, neighbours, fathers and sons. Those with murderous hearts Relinquished their freedoms In exchange for lethal weapons. They treated our soldiers this way. WENDY WELK, LANGLEY

Hatred can’t defeat us Editor: There are very few moments in time that can cause an entire country to pause, gripped by the unspeakable as it unfolds, but the morning of Oct. 22 on Parliament Hill in Ottawa will always be one of those moments for me and millions of other Canadians. The horrific events that took place over those awful few hours are a stark reminder to us all that we must remain vigilant in protecting the values that we hold dear, and the institutions that make us who we are. But such moments also remind us that we are bound by a common purpose — to support those who rise up against tyranny, and provide comfort to those in grief — that simply cannot be defeated by hatred. And they also serve to help strengthen our community, so that it may emerge bent, but never broken. I am constantly reminded by the small everyday encounters I have, whether they are with my wife, my children, my colleagues, or perfect strangers, that Canada is a nation of passionate and resilient people, and I know that the events of Oct. 22 will not weaken our collective resolve to remain hopeful in a world that sometimes seems anything but. And I ask that all Canadians remember the ultimate sacrifice that Corporal Nathan Cirillo and his family have made to shield our country against cruelty, and the remarkable bravery that Kevin Vickers showed in defying the depravity of a man who would destroy that which we have built together. We live in an increasingly complex global community, and it is events like those that occurred on Oct. 22 that underscore the reality that it can only be standing together, bound by a steadfast commitment to each other, that will allow us to find light in the darkness. We are Canada, true north, strong and free. Please, let that be always. JOHN ALDAG, CANDIDATE, LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA, CLOVERDALE-LANGLEY CITY RIDING

Voting on particulars Editor: Re R. Seguin’s letter (The Times, Oct 21), complaining about Councillors Kim Richter and David Davis voting against the “my way or highway” attitude of the rest of council. I have observed at council meetings that they are not against planning approvals en masse, but are voting against that particular version of the proposal. There is no middle ground in a vote, so they have to vote accordingly. One example was in 2013 on the blueberry cannon bylaw), where Richter felt the bylaw did not go far enough J. BEAUMAN, LANGLEY

Langley Time s file pho to

While the number of housing units under construction in Willoughby is high, Councillor Charlie Fox says the number of units given final approval from council in the past three years has actually declined by 14 per cent. He notes that it takes about 24 months from final approval to move-in.

Approvals in Willoughby have actually slowed Editor: In a recent letter to the editor from Councillor Kim Richter (The Times, Oct. 14), it was stated that more than 4,400 housing units were approved in Willoughby in the past three years. This certainly piqued my interest. Having sat on council for the past nine years, I thought that number to be excessive and not a reflection of the actual facts. As such, I asked to review the information supplied to Richter, and was surprised by what I found. In the language of municipal policy and process, an approved housing unit is one that has been given fourth reading and the development permit has been issued. Here are the actual facts as audited by our staff, and what you will see is that the number of housing units approved has actually decreased in the past term — in fact growth has slowed by 14 per cent, when comparing apples to apples. In the Township of Langley as a whole: - between 2008 and 2011 (the Rick Green era), 4,645 housing units were approved; - between 2011 and 2014 (the Jack Froese era), 3,396 housing units were approved. This is a decrease of 26 per cent in the number of housing units approved across the Township. In the Willoughby area of the Township: - between 2008 and 2011 (the Rick Green era), 3,451 housing units were approved; - between 2011 and 2014 (the Jack Froese era), 2,971 housing units were approved. This is a decrease of 14 per cent in the number of housing units approved in Willoughby. This, in fact, proves that despite the rhetoric of some on council and in the public, the approval of housing units (and growth) has slowed substantially

during the past council term. In the residential construction industry, the typical time between final approval of a housing project and the actual ‘move in’ by a resident is around 24 months. With this in mind, the residential construction in the Willoughby area that occurred in the first two years of this past term, and in some cases continues to today, was likely approved during the 2008 to 2011 term. In fact, between 2008 and 2011 the then-mayor (Rick Green) actually voted in favour of 3,298 housing units — 96 per cent of the housing units that were approved during that time. This in fact is more units than this council has approved this past term for its entire three-year term. Then-mayor Greens’s voting record reflects he voted to approve 327 more housing units than were approved in total this past term. That is largely what you are seeing built today. Saying that, the fact remains that during this term, only one councillor (David Davis) voted to approve less than 50 per cent of the residential approvals. He approved of 35 per cent of them. Richter voted to approve 1,682 of the 2,971 housing units that came across the council table (56 per cent). All other councillors approved a greater number than that. The facts tell the story. Those who say they are opposed to growth supported it the vast majority of the time. Meanwhile, the council in place this past term has slowed growth across the whole Township (by 26 per cent) and in Willoughby by 14 per cent. COUNCILLOR CHARLIE FOX, LANGLEY TOWNSHIP

scent of evergreen boughs filling the air to the sound of birdsong and the occasional whine of a mosquito breaking the silence.

But a little-visited piece of property in North Langley might be just the place to go when you what you seek is a bit of solitude and a chance to commune with nature.

On the ground, velvety ferns and prickly cones lie atop a rusty carpet of fallen needles. Rough tree bark is padded with spongy cushions of velvety soft moss.

A stroll through McLellan Forest offers an opportunity to calm the mind while escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though all of that remains only a short distance away. Located in Glen Valley, a few minutesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drive east of Fort Langley, the forest, part of which was recently preserved as a Municipal Natural Park, sits amid developed farmland and just off a welltraveled rural road.

Twelve more depictions of the forest in Falk’s trademark vibrant colours — reds, purples, oranges, blues and bright greens — but these were embossed in gold lettering with poetry written about McLellan forest.

then to yellows, while a glance at the forest floor reveals shades of orange.

“One thing you notice right away is the silence.” Though popular among locals for its peaceful trails, Falk first learned about McLellan forest when it was in the news in 2012. Put up for sale by the Township to fund an aquatic centre, the forest became a rallying point among residents who wanted to preserve the land for public enjoyment. McLellan forest is filled with 80to 100-year-old conifers that have stood, undisturbed, since they were tiny seedlings and should remain that way, they argued.

“

“This is what’s so nice about having this place,” she said. “It doesn’t stay the same. It’s totally different from one season to the next. “You can get a lot of information if you’re just quiet and patient.”

The cause drew support from the likes of renowned wilderness painter Robert Bateman as well as local poets, Langley Fine Arts School students and regular citizens who came together to form WOLF — Watchers of Langley Forests.

A separate property nearby, known as Gray Pit, had also been up for sale. It too was considered part of McLellan forest by residents. In September, 2013, the land was sold to Trinity Western University for $2.5 million. Using money donated by the Blaauw family in memory of their late husband and father, Thomas Blaauw, TWU preserved the forest for public use, education and research.

For her part, Falk initially donated a single, small painting of the forest to be auctioned off as part of a WOLF fundraiser.

Although the urgency to protect the forest has now passed, Falk occasionally returns to her favourite clearing, easel and palette in hand, accompanied by

Andersons Dairy Centre Milk and cookies, milk moustaches, milk with cereal. It’s safe to say, milk is a staple in many households. From Dairyland to Lucerne, our milk is bought at the grocery store, usually coming in two to four litre containers. What makes our milk consumption more interesting is there is a chance the milk you drank at home came from a Langley dairy farm. There are around a dozen or more dairy farms in Langley. Erin and Brian Anderson started milking in 1999 with 11 cows in a herringbone milking parlour. They are now milking 50 cows daily with a robotic (VMS) milking system. One cow can produce 36 litres in a day on average. They have black and white Holsteins which produce the most milk. They also have brown jerseys, which are much smaller and produce good cream. They also have a brown swiss cow named Billbo. Milk is picked up every second day and distributed to the various local milk plants who package it and ship to the local grocers. Standards for milk in Canada are very high, and local farms are therefore producing high quality products, said Brian. But the Andersons have taken their dairy farm in a different direction over the years, with a focus on educating the public, especially young ones, about a working dairy farm, teaching them that milk does not come from a grocery store refrigerator shelf.

They have 6,000 visitors a year come through their education centre. They mainly offer preschool and school tours, but seniors and families also come too. “Our tours have become as much a staple as our milk production,” said Brian. This year, 182 tours will take place. The Andersons’ four children help with the daily chores and are often ‘auxiliary’ tour guides with the afternoon family tours. “We have kids show up here who have never seen a cow before,” said Brian. Everyone on a tour gets a chance to milk a cow by hand. Their day starts at 6 a.m. It’s hard work, with much time spent cleaning up all the manure produced by the cows.

Erin Anderson shows a kindergarten student how to milk a cow

There is a working dog named Cheeky that keeps the cows in line and cats to keep the mice away. Like any other kind of farming, the dairy industry is subject to crisis, whether it be the time when mad cow disease was a concern. Then there is the constant battle of losing consumers who go across the border. The Andersons are hoping the educational tours they offer will make more people have a better understanding and appreciation for local farms and what they bring to the household table.

Take a bite out of Derby Reach Park history

Cuttings taken from historic trees in Derby Reach are now fruiting their own apples and pears in the heritage orchard on Allard Crescent Not only is Derby Reach Regional Park a popular spot for walkers, joggers, geo-cachers, dog lovers, fishing enthusiasts and campers, it is also a place steeped in tasty local history. A walk along the Houston and Fort-To-Fort trails, which meander beside the mighty Fraser River, through forests and by historic cairns and heritage barns, also involves passing by apple and pear trees dating back 150 years or more. Step back in time to around 1880, and the popular apples of those days, like the Baldwin and the Northern Spy, were being planted by the European settlers along the Fraser River in what was then called Derby Reach townsite. Fort Langley pioneer Alf Trattle, who passed away in 2003, said he remembered going down to Derby with his mom when he was just a boy, some 90 years ago. They would pick apples from the old Wolf River tree -- some for eating but others, the size of softballs, would come home for making pies. Only three apples that size were needed to make one pie, he remarked. But time, weather and invasive weeds, like blackberry vines, took over these fruitful trees, threatening their very existence. If these moss covered trees fell, so would their fruitful history. That’s where the Derby Reach/Brae Island Parks Partnership Association came in. The group’s mandate is to preserve the historic park. And it was in around 2002 when they decided to make sure Langley’s apple tree history will stay alive. ◆

MARK WARAWA

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR LANGLEY

Thank you to all the hard-working and dedicated people who make Langley a great place to live, work, and raise a family.

Story by

It helped that one of the volunteers, Bill Wilde, is a professional arbourist. First, volunteers started doing weed pulling, cleaning up the trees so they would increase their longevity, under the supervision of Wilde and fellow volunteer arbourists. In 2008, Wilde took cuttings from the century-old trees with the idea they would plant those cuttings and create a new heritage apple orchard within Derby Reach Park — rescuing history in a fruitful way. The idea has taken root and now the “floating” heritage apple orchard is growing beautifully beside the Houston House and barn on Allard Crescent. Growing at the heritage orchard is the Northern Spy, Baldwin, Winter Banana and an unknown variety of apple now named the Trattle - after pioneer family the Trattles. Those apple trees are joined by a pear tree - its variety also unidentifiable because of its age. It is at this heritage orchard, the association along with Metro Parks, hosts the annual Heritage Apple Day that took place this year on Saturday, Oct. 4. On that day, visitors get to taste some of the heritage varieties, stepping back in time with every bite. Royal Engineer re-enactors are at the event, bringing Derby Reach history to life. There are also walking tours of the heritage apple tree living along the Fortto-Fort trail, as well as demonstrations. “We tried to find out the variety of apple Alf Trattle picked with his mom but couldn’t,” said Wilde. The apple likely came from the Wolfe River, the oldest of the heritage trees in Derby.

The pear tree growing on the edge of the Fraser, along the Derby trail, is getting a second chance at life at the heritage orchard too. “No one can ID the heritage pear. It looks like an Asian pear but it isn’t,” said Wilde. “In 2006, we had three heritage pear trees. Now we only have one in Derby. The ones on the river side are hollow.” The trunks of the remaining pear and several of the older apple trees are quite hollow and so volunteers have been pruning the tops to keep them from toppling over in wind storms, said Wilde.

The heritage apple trees still produce fruit, and some are very productive. Langley Environmental Partners Society has collected some 30 lbs. of apples and pears. The Baldwin apple is a good example of a variety not found in a grocery store, same as the Winter Banana. They are good eating apples, and were popular for making apple cider back in the day. The ‘floating’ orchard refers to how they planted the fruit trees above ground in makeshift false pots. “This area could be culturally significant to the Kwantlen First Nation CONTINUED ON

There is the Edge Farm trail, Houston Trail and Fort-To-Fort. The area where the original Fort was built, more than 150 years ago, saw too much flooding so the fur trading post was moved to its current location further east. But a cairn remains along the Fort-to-Fort trail reminding those who walk by that Fort Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s European settlement history started here. In fact, the area was once called Derby Townsite.

The fruit trees found along the trails are Northern Spy, Baldwin, Winter Banana, Wolf River, Crab and Edge Farm apple. Inside the park are giant black cottonwoods dating back more than 200 years.

Back Country Horsemen of B.C. Working for shared-use trails at home and in the wilderness

nor ever will be, enough money if you’re counting on the government to do everything.”

The Back Country Horsemen of B.C. started out 25 years ago as a kitchen table discussion at the Aldergrove home of Jim and Marilyn McRae, with the first chapter of the club in this province based in Aldergrove.

Brian and his wife Vivian have been members of the Aldergrove chapter for about 10 years and have participated in many of the work bees across B.C., including the ongoing South Langley Trail project.

It has since grown to a province-wide movement of over 800 active volunteer members in 17 regional chapters.

That latter project, which will connect Campbell Valley and Aldergrove Regional Parks with a safe riding trail along 8 Avenue, is nearing completion of its most difficult leg, thanks to the BCHBC Aldergrove volunteers.

Jim McRae had been inspired by the Back Country Horsemen of America, who were always willing and able to help him during his daunting 1988 solo ride of the Pacific Crest Trail, from Mexico to B.C.

Aldergrove chapter members on an extended ride in Tetsa River Park, just off the Alaska Highway near Fort Nelson. across the swamp. For its part, BCHBC Aldergrove members have raised money for gravel for the trail, as well as provided heavy equipment and volunteer labour for the project, which exceeds $60,000 in value. Another BCHBC Aldergrove member, Jack Breaks, has provided his heavy equipment business and expertise at no charge to this trail — and many other similar projects in B.C. – over the years. “Jack has put in immense hours to helping make it complete,” says Harder. “He’s our lead guy, he’s got the equipment and know-how.” Township contractors have completed the two 150metre long boardwalks and concrete footings and await BCHBC volunteer workbees to complete the top coat and the ramps leading to the boardwalks. This workbee was to be done in October, however, the BCHBC volunteers are so heavily booked up with similar trail projects in the Skagit Valley, Golden Ears and Merritt that the South Langley Trail work will have to wait until November.

“We have a lot of joint projects with the Yarrow chapter of BCHBC in the Chilliwack Valley, Vedder Mountain and Cascades areas, and Jack Breaks has been working full-time on the Golden Ears contract, but the South Langley Trail will be our next priority,” says Harder. “That will leave only the section of trail between 264 and 272 Streets to be completed. I’m not sure what the Township plans are but probably it will be alongside 8 Avenue on the road allowance, with some sort of buffer between the trail and road.” With 139 members the Aldergrove chapter is the largest of the 17, soon-to-be 19, BCHBC chapters in the province. McRae has moved to a ranch in Tulameen but remains active in the organization and is working on establishing a new chapter in Tulameen. “We do a lot of education too,” says Harder. “We have speakers at our meetings from Search and Rescue, the SPCA, and veterinarians, as well as demonstrations on packing horses, trailer safety,

chainsaw training and wilderness First Aid. “Our members come from all backgrounds, working people, retirees, professionals. A couple don’t even have horses, they’re just interested. Our big thing is shared-use trails — a lot of mountain bikers use the facilities and trails, and we all work together to get along and not cause conflicts.” Then there is the fun aspect, when the members get to enjoy the fruits of their labours. The Aldergrove chapter organizes and participates in a variety of seasonal rides, from day rides to extended “rig rides” with campers and trailers, here in the Fraser Valley and in the upcountry wilderness. There is also their annual “Rendezvous,” where the BCHBC get together for three days of fun. BCHBC Aldergrove welcomes guests to their monthly meetings, and membership dues, if you decide to join are $45 a year (BCHBC members must also join Horse Council of B.C. for insurance purposes).

The Langley Players It all began with a production of Godsend in April, 1969. The Langley Players’ next offering didn’t hit the stage until nearly a year later when they presented Picnic in March, 1970. Now, four and a half decades later, the non-profit community theatre club has mounted nearly 140 productions. They’ve served up thousands of laughs and offered audiences plenty food for thought, producing everything from such famous works as Twelve Angry Men and Lost in Yonkers to countless comedies by perennial community theatre favourite, Norm Foster. The Players came to be in a public library, when a small group of local teachers — who were also theatre buffs — met to plan the formation of an amateur drama club. For the first two years, the fledgling company set up temporary venues in local schools, hauling gear and sets to and fro, before settling in the Brookswood Hall in 1972. Admission prices were set at $1 for adults and 50 cents for students. Today, tickets to a Langley Players production cost $15 each. At slightly more than the price of a movie Story by

it’s still an economical night out for people who appreciate live entertainment.

Renvall has acted, directed and produced, helped build sets and promoted shows.

It’s particularly reasonable when you consider the amount of time and energy that goes into each show. It takes about 30 people to mount a single play, said Mary Renvall a 21-year member of the club, who has sat on the board of directors for 16 years — 10 of those as president. When Renvall joined Langley Players in 1993, she wanted to be on stage. And though she’s had plenty of opportunity to perform over the years, Renvall quickly discovered that when it comes to community theatre, there are dozens of roles that need to be filled — and not all of them involve pancake makeup. “At first you think ‘I’m going to act.’ But then there’s no role so what will I do? I can paint. “One job leads to another.”

She has also been there to help fashion a tiny community hall, built on a dirt foundation, into the charming playhouse that theatre goers appreciate today. Through money raised by ticket sales as well as grants and in-kind donations of labour and materials, the club was able to do a major overhaul at the turn of the millennium, installing new seats and carpets, resurfacing the stage, adding extra washrooms and making major improvements to the lobby, backstage area and parking lot. The building is constantly improving, said Renvall. “It’s like making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” Over the decades, the hall has been transformed into a charming 80-seat playhouse that draws sell-out crowds to its three yearly productions. “We pride ourselves on (mounting)

More than 200 Extended Care residents at Langley Memorial Hospital require personal and clinical support to maintain a meaningful quality of life, and this includes a bath. Our goal is to raise $300,000 to purchase new tubs and renovate our tub rooms, which have not been updated since the 1970s. Upgrading these rooms is a high priority for the hospital and will only be possible with support from people like you. Please help us renovate the tub rooms in our care facilities. Our residents, including those who have become frail due to medical therapy, are our community’s most needy. A splash in a bath is a wonderful thing at any age. It is particularly revitalizing for the very old and the very frail. Let’s do this together, shall we? Please consider making a gift to Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation today.

The Langley Events Centre

Eight years ago it was a blueprint and six years ago it was a hole in the ground. Today, it is a sprawling multipurpose facility which has a dozen sports teams calling it home and approximately 400 game nights per year. The Langley Events Centre, which took nearly two years to build, is located at the corner of 200 Street and 80 Avenue. It opened its doors five years ago, in April 2009, with the B.C. provincial gymnastics championships as its first athletic event. (Its first official event was the annual Douglas Day celebrations held the previous November). Since then, countless provincial, as well as national and international events have determined their champions within the confines of the LEC. Amateur, junior, university and professional teams all call the LEC home. The facility is a 322,212 square-foot facility, which includes an arena bowl, triple gymnasium, double gymnasium, fieldhouse, banquet hall, a gymnastics training facility, a fitness and community centre, meeting spaces, offices and leased spaces. Roughly 250 people, in full and part-time capacities, are employed at the LEC. The original project â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with an initial

cost of $45 million â&#x20AC;&#x201D; saw the Township of Langley, the provincial government and the Langley Development Group chip in $15 million apiece. The project was enhanced and the final price tag was $57.4 million. Several new partners â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â including Trinity Western University ($3.5), Langley School District ($3 million) and the Langley Gymnastics Foundation ($1 million) â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â contributed the remaining amount. The Township of Langley also increased its contribution, And it has proven so successful in its first few years, that the facility has already expanded, adding a new double gymnasium and fieldhouse in 2012. The project cost $7.725 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The expansion was just really a matter of demand,â&#x20AC;? said Jared Harman, the LECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of business development, a title he has held since 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new facility in the back was created out of the need for more gymnasium time.â&#x20AC;?

play-by-play announcer and marketing manager. He would add the title of the LECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing manager before taking his current role. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What really impressed me was the foresight the Township really put into it,â&#x20AC;? Harman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just about what do we need now, it was about what are we going to need 10 years from now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The easy thing to do would have been to build two ice sheets and replicate what was done in Chilliwack â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â which is a great facility as well â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â but I think incorporating partners like Trinity Western, the Langley School District, Langley Gymnastics Foundation, really makes the venue stand on its own and very unique. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And by having those people involved, it has really allowed us to expand on what our possibilities are, because we have so many people who have a vested interest in the building built in, who have their own networks which goes a long way when you are trying to attract events.â&#x20AC;?

Harman has been at the LEC since it opened, arriving with the Langley Chiefs junior A hockey club â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â who The success and appeal of the LEC helped it lure the National Lacrosse were connected to the Langley DevelopLeague to Langley as the Washington ment Group â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â as one of the original tenStealth relocated from Everett, Wash. to ants of the facility, serving as the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Story by GARY AHUJA

Langley. The Vancouver Stealth play nine home games between January and May. The Stealth are one of nine teams in the NLL. While the LEC may have been the aggressor in targeting events it wanted to bring to town initially, it is now about 50/50, with the facility being approached to host events. And with their success, they have been able to build on what they offer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One year has never been the same next year,â&#x20AC;? he said. For instance, 2012 saw the B.C. high school Triple-A senior boys basketball championships come to the facility. Last year, eight separate high school boys and girls provincial championship tournaments were held at the LEC. Three B.C. high school senior boys volleyball will also be played at the LEC this November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without that (new) facility, we probably canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t host volleyball provincials because we probably donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the space to facilitate it,â&#x20AC;? Harman said.

Fifty years of rodeo fun Langley Riders Society prepares to celebrate anniversary Next June, when a young rider guides a horse out of the gate into the Langley rodeo arena at 4303 208 Street, it will mark the 50th anniversary of the Langley Riders Society (LRS) Little Britches Rodeo, believed to be the longest-running rodeo competition in B.C. for young competitors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We provide an opportunity for all people of all ages from lead line to seasoned riders interested in horses, to get together and participate in several multidisciplinary riding events and shows,â&#x20AC;? the LRS website (http://www.langleyriders. com) notes. The Langley rodeo was originally held on a field near land that would eventually become the site of Langley Secondary School. The all-volunteer Langley Riders Society formally incorporated as a non-profit society in 1966 and a few years later, purchased their current home.It is a former gravel pit that, with a few modifications, made a near-perfect arena with plenty of space to park horse trailers and a good view of the action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice little amphitheatre,â&#x20AC;? said John Scotton, LRS treasurer and livein caretaker at the grounds. Scotton and his wife, now grandparents, raised their two sons in a house that overlooks the amphitheatre. He said planning is underway to mark the 50th anniversary with a number of special events, including a homecoming for past members. There are currently 140 members in the society.

www.donnavanbeek.com

The membership is expected to help out at various Langley Riders events by devoting a minimum number of hours to activities like ground keeping and repairs.

A competitor enters the Langley Riders Arena. The Little Britches rodeo, which has categories for under-18, under-13 and under-9 competitors, also features the often-photographed sheep riding or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mutton Bustingâ&#x20AC;? event with competitors as young as two attempting to hang on to the the wooly back of their reluctant rides. The LRS grounds are also home to the Langley Riders Drill Team, a crowd favourite which has been a part of the Langley Riders Society since 1966. The drill team web site (http://langleyriders.wix.com/langleyridersdrillteam) describes the precision riders as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a group of enthusiastic ladies from 16 and up, [who] put fun, unity, teamwork, and dedication forward as the motto to bring a thrill to spectators.â&#x20AC;?Â

A small jewel of a church in Fort Langley

Visitors to St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church in Fort Langley step into history when they walk through the entrance to the 113-year-old structure at 9160 Church Street. Built in a style called Carpenter Gothic, St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is one of many North American churches that adapted the traditional European Gothic cathedral architectural style of carved stone into timber. Inside, light filters through stained glass windows,

illuminating the wooden beams and panelling. The large Good Shepherd stained glass window behind the altar was installed in 1912, donated by the Hope family in memory of Mary Fiddler-Horn Mavis. Other windows have been installed over the years, one of the most recent added in 2003 during renovations that added the parish hall and church extension.

St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Anglican Church built more than a century ago in the downstairs lounge and the coffee table that faces the fireplace.

The first official service at the new Fort Langley church was held in 1901.

St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is the second Anglican church built in the area.

The church was consecrated in 1908.

The first, St. John the Divine, was built in 1859 at the colony of Derby, located three miles west of Fort Langley at the original site of the Hudson Bay Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fort. When the population at Derby declined, that church was physically moved across the river to Maple Ridge in 1879. It would be 21 years before another church was built in the area. During some of that period, parishioners were able to attend services at St. Albans Church, which was built in Milner in 1889 to serve Langley, Milner, Fort Langley and Glen Valley. Finally, in 1900, a committee built St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

More than 100 years later, St. Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remains an active Anglican parish serving about 140 households, hosting the biweekly â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food and Friendsâ&#x20AC;? community seniorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; meal, a support for young mothers and many other programs. Every Sunday morning, the Service of the Holy Eucharist is held at 8:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. with a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program. There is also a Tuesday service at 10 a.m. More information about the history of the church can be be viewed online at www.stgeorgeanglican.ca. or by visiting the church, which offers information pamphlets for a self-guided walking tour of the church and church grounds.

Rise of the Spartans

When the Trinity Western Spartans women’s soccer team captured the national championship in 2004, it was a welcome surprise. “They just didn’t read the script,” joked TWU athletic director Murray Hall. “We thought we might win a Canada West championship in five years and a national championship in nine years. They did it in their third year.” The Spartans women’s soccer team has since gone on to win four other Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships and with five national titles, is tied alltime with the UBC Thunderbirds. UBC has won five titles since 1987 while Trinity Western has wracked up that many championships in just nine years. Prior to making the move to the CIS level and joining the Canada West conference, Trinity Western University had competed against colleges, in what is now the PacWest Conference. There was confusion as to why Trinity Western University — a four-year degree granting institution — was competing against two-year colleges. The decision to make the jump was to distinguish themselves, Hall explained. “We had nothing against that group (of colleges); it was a move to separate ourselves,” he said. “It was just a positioning move, that was the key thing.” Hall has been at the Langley university since 1984 and has served as athletic director since 1988. The move to Canada West was made in consultation with other prominent members of the university administration, including Dr. Neil Snider, the university president, Dr. Don Page, the academic vice-president and Ron Kuehl, the advancement vice-president.

for plane rides as far east as Manitoba as part of the Canada West conference. Attracting new students was one of the keys to generate more cash flow at the school. “We had capacity — the classrooms weren’t full, the residences weren’t full — so it was a business deal as well as positioning,” Hall said. “Because we are a tuition-driven university, we aimed for 80 new people over a few years who normally wouldn’t come to the school.” “For a tuition-driven university with capacity, it was a perfect business plan and positioning for the university to brand us more nationally, and certainly in the Canada West.” Fifteen years ago, in the fall of 1999, the Spartan basketball and volleyball teams, as well as cross-country and middle distance, began competing in the CIS. Soccer followed in 2001, and track and field and swimming joined in 2010, as did the cross-country program, which had folded in 2003. “We have always wanted to be top three,” Hall said. “If we are top three in Canada West — because that conference is so strong — we are probably top three, four or five in Canada.” Since moving to the CIS level, Spartan athletes have won 20 CIS team medals, 34 Canada West team medals, 15 CIS individual medals and 47 Canada West individual medals. This includes the five CIS gold for women’s soccer, three CIS gold for the men’s volleyball program and six individual CIS gold medals in track and field.

The Langley Times www.langleytimes.com

2009 and 2013, has nearly 43,000 students, while McGill University, the team’s opponent in the 2004 championship game, has enrolment close to 27,000. UBC, one of Trinity Western’s chief rivals in Canada West, is the biggest school in the conference with almost 40,000 students. “When you are smaller, maybe you try harder, you are the kid brother and want to show you belong,” Hall said. “I don’t think we have a chip on our shoulder. Maybe we do, but that isn’t always bad.” As for the future of TWU athletics, Hall said they would love to add rowing — “we have great facilities just down the road,” — and possibly baseball or wrestling. The university has tried swimming but that will not work without a dedicated pool they could use, Hall said. The Spartans do ice a hockey team, which plays in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League. Moving up to CIS would cost at least another $1 million more than they pay now because of scholarships and travel costs to field the team. Another major factor in the success of Spartan athletics is corporate sponsorship and the Spartan Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit organization which formed six years ago to raise funds for the athletic department. For instance, they hold a Complete Champions lunch every November and a golf tournament every summer.

All of this is being done despite the fact the Spartan athletic teams are drawing from a student body population of close to 4,000 undergraduate students.

The money raised is also used to fund some of the humanitarian trips the Spartan athletic teams also do overseas.

It was a hard decision to make because of the increased costs associated with the move up.

By comparison, the University of Toronto has Canada’s largest full-time student body population at more than 67,000 students.

“We want them to be complete champions in all areas,” Hall said.

The Spartan athletic teams were accustomed to driving in vans to their games, but would instead be budgeting

Aldor Acres Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a family tradition for so many, almost a rite of passage for Langleyites - to pick up a Halloween pumpkin from the Aldor Acres Family Farm pumpkin patch every October. In fact, thousands visit the pumpkin patch each October, take in a hay ride, visit the petting zoo or even watch pigs being born at the Glen Valley working farm. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just Langleyites who come to this bucolic acreage, but people from all over Metro Vancouver and beyond who make it a tradition to get their pumpkin here and experience country living for the day. And to think, it all started with veterinarian Dr. Albert and his wife Dorothy putting up a small sign and a jar at the end of the road back in 1988 - selling pumpkins on the honour system. Now the main crop on the farm is pumpkins. The name of the farm is a combination of the Andersonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first names (Al-Dor). They even grow gigantic Atlantic pumpkins that can grow to more than 800 lbs. They host an annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off where growers from all around bring in their gigantic gourds for prizes and bragging rights. This year, one

pumpkin weighed in more than 1,000 pounds. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a great season for pumpkins, said the Andersons. The right combination of sun and little rain, but just at the right time, made for perfect growing conditions for both their pumpkins and the corn. Aldor Acres is open year round for different events. Spring and summer offer farm tours, baby animals at Easter, and Farm Kid Camps. October brings 20 acres of pumpkin patches and five acres of petting zoos and animal displays. December welcomes Christmas trees and roasting marshmallows around the campfire. There are birthday parties too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really about giving people of all ages a hands-on experience of life on the farm,â&#x20AC;? said Melissa Anderson, granddaughter of Albert and Dorothy, who is working full-time on the farm with her grandparents. The Andersons are in their 26th year of operation and third generation of Anderson farmers.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids just love coming into to hold a baby bunny, the chickens are really friendly too. We really promote a handson experience,â&#x20AC;? said Anderson. The kids also love climbing all over the hay piles.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;It only took one day to train them to race. They get a treat (corn) at the end so it was pretty easy but pigs are a lot like dogs. They are very friendly,â&#x20AC;? she said.

On a recent Saturday in October, with around 1,000 visitors to the farm, a pig gave birth to 15 piglets in front of the masses.

An animal lover, Melissa also takes the farmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s petting zoo to seniors homes in Langley, letting elderly residents pet baby sheep, hold bunnies and piglets.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the neat thing about life on a farm. You never know what can happen when you are working with living creatures,â&#x20AC;? she said.

This year, the Andersonsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; added pig races which have been a huge hit.

Fort Langley Canoe Club

“Paddles up!” the steersman orders as we push off from the Paddlesport Dock at Fort Langley Marina. Under a brilliant August Tuesday late afternoon sun, the eight of us on a voyageur canoe “take it away” on our little trip around McMillan Island, paddling on the Bedford Channel and Fraser River. I’m a novice paddler who has come along on a Fort Langley Canoe Club (FLCC) “drop-in” session and I’m seated mid-canoe alongside Susan Murray, a commodore with the club who patiently explains what I should do as well as points out landmarks and the

sights along our little voyage. It’s not that complicated but the other seven paddlers, all women, are regulars who work together in unison, like a well-oiled machine. I do my best to fit in and by the end of our hour-long trip I finally get the rhythm right and stop hitting the paddle of the paddler in front of me.

Murray is typical of many of the FLCC’s 550 members, in that she started out with the club four years ago as an older person who was simply looking for some recreational exercise and camaraderie. She found it by joining with like-minded souls in weekly paddles on the Fraser River in an eight-person voyageur canoe.

Along the way we see a pair of bald eagles sitting in a fir tree, stop to pick up refuse floating in the water and observe the fellow FLCC dragon boaters and outrigger canoeists practicing in the channel.

“I started out coming once a week for the voyageur paddles and enjoyed the friendships and teamwork, so I tried some of the other things like dragon boats and I really liked it,” said Murray.

Recreational exercise, camaraderie, and adventures await â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m now competitive, a member of the 50-plus Fast and Furious dragon boat team. But I still like to come out for the voyageur paddles.â&#x20AC;?

marina, near the bridge, at a cost of $200,000.

From its humble beginnings 20 years ago, the FLCC has grown into an important part of the community, providing over 550 members with recreational and competitive water sports.

Paddlers come from far and wide to participate in the regular season voyageur paddles. There is no additional cost for FLCC members, other than the annual $80 membership fee. Non-members are also welcome to sign up, at a drop-in cost of $10 per paddle session. Each session runs about 60 to 90 minutes.

Started by Colin Chappell, whose children competed in high level kayak racing, the FLCC became a registered non-profit society in 1994, with summer programs offered in Bedford Channel, coached by university students. Their ever-growing flotilla of canoes, kayaks, outriggers and dragon boats were initially housed in a ramshackle old garage in Fort Langley, which was memorable for its creaky old bay door that threatened to fall off every time it was opened or closed. FLCC members had to carry their boats down the street and across the rail tracks to the Bedford Channel and back again. Thankfully, that is now ancient history, as in 2008 the club moved into a modern boat house on the new marina, built by the Township of Langley and operated by the Bedford Channel Society. The FLCC and three other boating organizations lease storage space from the Bedford Channel Society for their boats and equipment at the attractive new marina. In addition to this, the FLCC is currently building a new dock for its nine dragon boats just east of the

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been saving up for this for quite some time,â&#x20AC;? said Murray.

In addition to regular paddles around the Bedford Channel and McMillan/Brae Island, the club organizes â&#x20AC;&#x153;moonlightâ&#x20AC;? paddles on the Fraser River, hosts regattas, helps re-create the arrival of the fur brigade voyageurs every BC Day weekend for Fort Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brigade Days, hosts the annual Cranberry Race, as well as organizes or joins other canoe clubs in outings and expeditions.

adventures, such as the Yukon Quest Marathon (see sidebar story by Sylvia Langmann). Some of the FLCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime guiding lights like Dr. Grant Rawstron, and the couple, Cheryl MacIntosh and Glenn Howes, remain very active in the voyageur canoes aspect. Over the past 20 years, members have competed in the BC Summer Games, National Canoe Championships, Western Canada Games, BC Bantam Championships Pan Am Canoe Championships, Western Canada Summer Games and the BC Senior Games, among other events and regattas. For many others it has led to participating in the highly competitive dragon boat races. Of the FLCCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 550 members, a full 250 are dragon boaters. MacIntosh and Howes of Glen Valley were this past yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recipients of the Langley Township â&#x20AC;&#x153;John and Muriel Arnason Award.â&#x20AC;? For 12 years, the couple has been dedicated to the Fort Langley Canoe Club. MacIntosh began as a voyageur paddler, then became

In recent years these expeditions have included paddles around the Gulf Islands and Okanagan lakes, as well as paddling the lengths of the Rideau Canal, the Fraser River and the Columbia River. The expeditions down the Fraser and Columbia were done alongside other canoe clubs to mark the centenaries of Simon Fraser and David Thompson, who were the first European explorers to travel and chart the entire lengths of the two mightiest west coast rivers. For some FLCC members the voyageur expeditions have led to participating in even more gruelling

a leader and coach, encouraging the group to try dragon boat paddling. Interest grew and with macintosh chairing the FLCC board since 2009, the club grew to more than 500 members. That meant more boats, docks, and storage spaces were needed, and Howes became the key person for getting the docks upgraded, leading working groups through planning and design processes, and the actual physical labour. The couple also lends their expertise to local environmental groups, such as the Glen Valley Watershed Society, Derby Reach/Brae Island Parks Association and have opened up their home for work parties and lunches for events such as the annual Bird Count. In 2001, FLCC’s senior athletes joined team rowing with the official opening of Fort Langley Rowing Club. The rowing and canoe clubs remain separate entities but they share resources such as the coach boat, as well as some memberships. The first dragon boat team was formed in 2004, with the club hiring a coach and renting a dragon boat weekly from False Creek. A year later, thanks to substantial fundraising efforts by members, the club bought its first dragon boat and they grew to four dragon boat teams.

centennial re-enactment of Simon Fraser’s voyage from Fort St James to Vancouver. In 2009, the FLCC grew to 11 dragon boat teams and purchased their third dragon boat. In addition, the “Power For All” program was launched for paddlers with disabilities, which provides watersports for these persons in a safe atmosphere, with expert leaders and specialized equipment. In the next year, 2010, there were 12 dragon boat teams and the club purchased its fifth dragon boat (three 6/16s and two BUK’s), and its third OC6 outrigger. Dragon boat youth after-school programs began that year. In 2011, the club purchased the Millennium dragon boat, its sixth, and there were two youth dragon boat teams and a total of 14 teams.

In the following year, 2006, the club acquired its first six-person outrigger canoe (OC6), used mainly by dragon boaters for cross training, and the FLCC also became involved with Township of Langley waterfront development in the Bedford Channel.

In 2012, there were 15 dragon boat teams and the FLCC purchased its first of three one-person OC1 outriggers, as well as two new voyageur canoes for a total of eight, and a new three-boat trailer to haul them with.

The year 2008 was a real watershed for the club as they saw the opening of their new floating boathouse and Township of Langley docks, the club grew to nine dragon boat teams and acquired a second OC6 outrigger canoe. It participated in the bi-

WHAT’S IN FOR FALL? The sky is ALWAYS blue at Choo Choo’s!

There are also many youth members of the FLCC among the 140 who paddle the outrigger canoes as well as the dragon boats and many are also competitive. Their youth group, ages 14-17 years, recently won the bronze at the Rio Tinto Regatta. The FLCC also offers a wide range of classes and camps for kayakers, aged nine and up. Additional boat usage fees required for participating in the dragon boats and outriggers to help pay for coaching. There are costs to enter any regattas, special events or expeditions. The FLCC does its best to keep costs affordable for all, but $10 drop-in sessions in all of the boat categories allow individuals to try out a sport before making a commitment to join. As Murray observes, “When you start out with the club you tend to make friends and this leads to trying other aspects of canoeing and finding new adventures.” Details on the different programs and registration information is available at the FLCC’s website: http://www.fortlangleycanoeclub.ca/

Brewing a witch’s tale JEF GIB B ONS pho to

Jenessa Galbraith (left) and Sharra Ganzeveld (right) conjure up an entertaining tale of family and forgiveness at TWU.

SAMC Theatre conjures up dazzling fantasy “THE ILLUSION” CAPTURES IMAGINATION, DELIGHTS SENSES Dads and kids have been butting heads since at least the 17th century, it seems. Offering a magical take on the pitfalls of parenting, The Illusion tells the tale of one man’s search to be reunited with his son before it’s too late. Onstage at Trinity Western University from now to Nov. 1, this fantasy-adventure brings together action, romance, and a powerful story about family. A long time ago, in a fairy-tale land far away, a grieving father asks a mysterious illusionist to show him the life of his prodigal son, banished for 15 years. In the dazzling illusion that follows, we watch the struggle of the young hero, Calisto. As he fights to make his fortune and win the woman he loves, Calisto must dodge the perils of an unforgiving world—and the consequences of his own mistakes.

Written by Pulitzer Prize winner Tony Kushner, The Illusion is an acclaimed adaptation of Pierre Corneille’s popular 17th century comedy, L’Illusion Comique. Combining elegant poetry with punchy humour and wit, the play feels classic and contemporary at the same time. “This show is somewhere between the Princess Bride and Pirates of the Caribbean,” said actor Bryan Sandberg, who provides plenty of comic relief as the laughable lunatic Matamore. With sword fighting, scheming, and suspense, The Illusion captures the imagination and delights the senses. The show is the TWU directorial debut for Kate Muchmore, a Langley resident who joined the faculty at the School of the Arts, Media + Culture in fall 2013. Muchmore was drawn to the play by its mysterious blurring of the lines

between dream and reality, its stirring language, and its central question about the nature of love. “Love is so complicated, yet so simple,” said Muchmore. “The playwright does a marvelous job of illustrating the many faces of love, pushing us to question the obvious and accept the ambiguous. And he does this by telling a beautiful fairy tale about family and forgiveness. “It’s magical.” Sponsored by Great-West Life, The Illusion stars Corben James, Jenessa Galbraith, Sharra Ganzeveld, Emily Herbison, Audrey Herold, Keenan Marchand, Bryan Sandberg, and William Tippery. Playing until Nov. 1, with shows at 7:30 p.m. from Tuesday to Saturday, and 2 p.m. Saturday matinees. For tickets and information, visit www.twu.ca/theatre or call 604-5132121 extension 3872.

Just because Halloween will have come and gone, doesn’t mean the spooky fun has to come to a screaming halt. And that’s a good thing, because The Witch of Weasel Warren flies into town on Saturday, Nov. 8. Last November, Langley writer Bruce Kilby co-authored a book that gave young local readers something to chew on with The Legend of the Tooth Fairy. This year, Kilby returns solo, with a new fantasy adventure that aims to be “fun, a little bit scary, and a wonderful adventure for the imagination.” Suitable for readers eight and up, the Halloween-themed story begins late at night, as Duke Skysquawker, a crow from the Northwoods Rookery, discovers weasels stealing pumpkins out of Farmer McSimmons’ B R UCE pumpkin patch. KILB Y He reports the strange activity to his farm friends who realize they have to do something. Stranger, a relocated city raccoon, and his field mouse sidekick, Pronto, are sent to find out what is going on. The book was intended to be released on Saturday, Oct. 25, in time for Halloween, but because of problems with printing and shipping, the launch was delayed by two weeks, said Kilby. As he did last year, the author will sign copies of his book at the NY Grill & Bistro, 20204 Fraser Hwy., beginning at 1 p.m. He will be joined by the the book’s illustrator, Dallas Lenton, and Don Thompson, who composed the Halloween-themed music for the CD which accompanies the book. “Thanks to Manny (of NY Grill & Bistro) for allowing me to do this once again,” said Kilby. “Come and have a coffee or something to eat, pick up your autographed copy and meet the illustrator and music writer,” he urged. Copies of The Legend of the Tooth Fairy will also be available for sale at the Nov. 8 event.

s u bmitte d

Steve Elliott will perform the sacred music loved by Elvis, at Chief Sepass Theatre.

Turns out, Langley’s more than just a little bit country. The B.C. Country Music Association awards recognize talent from all across the province, but this year’s show had a distinctively local feel to it. No fewer than 10 Langley and Cloverdale-based artists and acts were singled out at the 37th annual ceremony held Sunday, Oct. 19 at the Hard Rock casino in Coquitlam. Four pieces of hardware went to Langley’s Dallas Smith, who won Album of the Year and Single of the Year for Tippin’ Point. He also took home Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year honours. Aaron Pritchett won the Fans Choice and Video of the Year for Boat on the Water, while Karen Lee Batten took home Female Vocalist of the Year. Another local favourite, Chad Brownlee, received the Socan Songwriter of the Year award for Just Because. He shares the accolade with another Langley musician, Mitch Merrett, as well as Brian White and Phil Barton. Rising duo Shawn Meehan and Jacky Mae — collectively known as Me and Mae — received the Rae McAuley Horizon Award. Cloverdale’s Mike Sanyshyn won the Gaylord Wood Traditional Country award and shared website of the year honours with Tianna Lefebvre-Sanyshyn and Robert White. Linda Corscadden, who grew up in Langley, but relocated to Kelowna last summer, received the Humanitarian of the Year award for her Journey on Cancer Foundation/FCK Cancer.

People get a chance to pay respects to the nation’s veterans as well as be inspired by the best music that the “King” produced. Elvis would play far into the night at Graceland and said that his voice was a gift from God.

Langley Rams’ running back Nathan Lund dives into the end zone for his second touchdown of the game. The score came with 31 seconds to play and gave the Rams a 23-19 victory over the Okanagan Sun at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl on Sunday afternoon in the Cullen Cup, the B.C. Football Conference championship game. With the victory, Langley will host Saskatoon Hilltops in the Canadian Bowl on Nov. 8 at McLeod Athletic Park. F RE D S CHAAD For the Langley Tim es

Dramatic finish as Rams win Cullen Cup GA RY AHUJ A Times Sports

They say never take points off the board, but the Langley Rams did, and the decision paid off as they won the Cullen Cup. The Rams kicked a game-tying field goal in the late-going of Sunday’s B.C. Football Conference championship game against the Okanagan Sun at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl. But a roughing the kicker penalty gave the Rams the option of keeping the three points on the board and tying the score at 19, or accepting the penalty and having the ball at the six-yard line with a fresh set of downs. Langley accepted the latter and two plays later, Nathan Lund dove into the end zone for his second touchdown of the game and a 23-19 Rams lead with 31 seconds to play. The Sun’s Hail Mary pass to end the game saw the receiver catch the ball, but get tackled well short of the end zone. And that would be all as Langley won the Cullen Cup for the second time in three years. And as they did in 2012, the Rams will host the Canadian Bowl — Canada’s junior football championship game — against the Saskatoon Hilltops.

The game is Nov. 8 at McLeod Athletic Park with a 1 p.m. kickoff. Rams coach Jeff Alamolhoda said it was a pretty easy decision to make about taking the points off the board, mainly because they were well within kicker Steve Thomas’ range if they needed to boot the field goal again. “We were confident that we had two extra opportunities,” Alamolhoda said. “We just talked about being safe with the ball and just taking our opportunities when we could.” The first play was an incomplete pass and the decisive play was a hand-off to Lund. The running back was stopped initially, but kept his legs moving, bounced to the outside and broke free, diving into the end zone for the winning points. And that was the difference in the game. “We talked about it all week, if we get opportunities, we have to capitalize,” the coach said. The yardage was similar in the game, with Okanagan having 382 yards compared to Langley’s 369. And both teams had one fumble and one interception.

But the big difference was finishing. Okanagan had three field goals and one touchdown — a 101-yard run from Alex Bradley — while Langley finished their drives with a trio of touchdowns along the ground. Lund ran for a pair and 105 yards while Jacob Patko had the other rushing score. Lund was named the offensive player of the game. “When he needed to get the job done, and we needed a guy to get those tough, hard-fought yards, we knew Nathan was going to do it and we put the rock in his hand, and he came through,” Alamolhoda said. After his go-ahead score, the Sun had good field position because the Rams did not want to deviate from their game plan of kicking off short to keep the ball away from all-star returner Robbie Yochim. In the teams’ previous meeting, Yochim took two kickoffs for touchdowns to change the momentum into a 37-20 Sun victory. “Our game plan all day was to kick it short and away from him, and we didn’t want to break our consistency even though

there were 30 seconds left on the clock,” Alamolhoda said. The Sun completed the first pass for about 30 yards. “That started getting the ticker going a little bit and the heart racing,” the coach said. The Rams put in some of their tall receivers in on defence, to help knock down potential passes downfield, and Tore Corrado did on the first one. The last play was a completion to about the 15 or 20-yard line, but another receiver, Malcolm Williams came up with the stop. And defence was a big story in the game. Already missing two defensive starters before the game, the Rams lost BCFC defensive player of the year Dylan Roper to a broken hand on the second series. A short while later, they lost defensive tackle Brock Gowanlock. “We went into that game down bodies; we adjusted our defensive scheme accordingly. It was out of necessity, but it also ended up being effective,” Alamolhoda said.

The Langley Ukulele Association presents ...

Themes of CHRISTMAS WAR R EN HENDER S ON Black Press

Langley Rams’ players storm the field at Kelowna’s Apple Bowl on Sunday afternoon after the final whistle of the team’s 23-19 victory over the Okanagan Sun. The Rams captured the Cullen Cup as the champions of the B.C. Football Conference. It is the team’s second title in three years.

Andrews steps up and delivers for Rams’ defence From Page 42

He said the coaching staff, especially co-ordinators Khari Joseph (defence) and Eddie Ferg (offence), came up with great game plans which the players executed. “The difference was what we had been preaching all week, and that was our next play mentality. Whatever happened on the previous play, it wouldn’t matter, the goal was then to win the next play.” Luke Andrews earned the defensive player of the game honours after finishing with a team-high five tackles — tied with Adam Marchetti — as well as two assist, two special team tackles, one quarterback sack and a fumble recovery. What makes his stat line ever more remarkable is that

Andrews — the special teams captain — was playing out of position, taking Roper’s spot at linebacker. Andrews normally plays defensive tackle, but this season went to the coaches and offered to focus exclusively on special teams to help out. “He showed the fight in him that a Ram absolutely emulates,” Alamolhoda said. “He bleeds blue and yellow.” Andrews still played on special teams in Sunday’s victory, as well as on the defence. He attributed his success to the coaches keeping things simple. “I have never played that position before,” he said. “We kept simple play calls and it worked out. “I felt nervous for the first play, but after that, it went away.” Andrews, who is from Langley,

played in the Cloverdale Minor Football program and played his final season of community football with the Langley midget Stampeders. The 22-year-old is in his final season of junior eligibility. “It feels great to go back to the national championship one more time,” he said. “I have played on this team for four years and I have got to play for the national championship twice and played in the Cullen Cup all four times. It has been quite the treat.” Another Langley Minor Football alum, Charles Scott, came up with an interception for the Rams’ defence. ••• Rams’ kicker Steve Thomas was presented the Ron White Community Service Award at half-time.

Knights stretch streak to seven The Langley Knights stretched their unbeaten streak to seven games — spanning the whole month of October — after a tie and victory last week in junior B hockey action. The Knights tied the Aldergrove Kodiaks 4-4 on Oct. 23, the first time this season Langley did not win on home ice at the George Preston Recreation Centre. The team did bounce back to win on the road, doubling the Abbotsford Pilots 4-2 at MSA Arena the next night. The results improve Langley to 9-3-1-0 and their 19 points give them a seven-point cushion for top spot in the PJHL’s Harold Brittain Conference. Aldergrove is tied for second at 3-5-2-4. Carson Rose scored twice in the first game with Darien Craighead chipping in a pair of assists. Blake Gorrill and Jackson Surbey had the other goals. Cole Forbes made 40 saves. Against the Pilots, Langley scored three times in the third period to erase a 2-1 deficit. Levi De Waal led the way with two goals and an assist while Tristan Craighead and Surbey had a goal apiece. Nickolas Trenciansky made 42 saves for the win. The Knights are on the road tonight (Tuesday) against the Delta Ice Hawks. They host the North Vancouver Wolf Pack on Thursday at the Preston Centre in a battle of the two division leaders.

Inglis first across the line as TWU Crib women dominate at provincials League Trinity Western runner Sarah Inglis won the senior race at the B.C. cross country championships as she led an impressive Spartans contingent that competed Saturday at Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Clearbrook Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy with both our menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs and the direction theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going,â&#x20AC;? said Spartans coach Laurier Primeau. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Mark (Bomba, endurance coach) has them ready to run in two weeks at the national championships. Inglis earned top spot in the six kilometre race in a time of 20:36.09, while not far behind her was Alison Jackson, who

was second in 20:44.40. Fiona Benson was fourth in 21:06.09 and Regan Yee was fifth in 21:06.18. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To put four women in the top five in the senior race at the provincial championships really bodes well for us moving forward,â&#x20AC;? Primeau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on the right path to perform well at the championships.â&#x20AC;? In the junior womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, Taylor Janzen led TWU by finishing fourth in the five kilometre race in 19:44.74. On the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side, Joel De Schiffart led the way in the 10 kilometre senior race while Declan White finished fourth

in his first race since returning from injury. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To see Declan come off of an injury and finish fourth in the provincial championships in his first race of the season is very impressive,â&#x20AC;? Primeau said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And once again Joel continues to perform well as he has become the consistent stalwart on the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s side for us.â&#x20AC;? In the junior menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race, Caleb De Jong was the Spartans top finisher as he was second in a time of 21:15.41 over seven kilometres. The Spartans will now prepare for the CIS national championships in St. Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Nfld. on Nov. 8.

Hancock Gloria's beloved husband of fifty years, Diana's and Alex's dear dad, Jen's father-in-law, Belle's and Sophie's grandpa, and Richard's & Rosemary's older brother, passed out of his body aged 81, at Langley Memorial Hospital on Monday, October 20th, 2014, shortly before family, including his brother Richard who'd come over specially from Australia and had seen him the day before, could rush to his bedside that morning. We arrived too late but stayed to reach out to him with our good thoughts. After being educated at Wesley College, Melbourne, John had worked on relatives' ranches in the West Australia outback maintaining artesian wells and horseback-riding rounding up livestock. A lifelong fisherman, in his twenties he became keenly interested in water sports such as speed-boat racing, and joined a yacht-club in Perth, W.A., owning a "Flying Dutchman" sailboat. Becoming a seismic driller in the Australian oil industry, he traveled to Iran on a foreign contract. In later years after he and Gloria moved to Canada via the Philippines (a five-month contract working for Esso), besides Canadian work he had foreign contracts in East Africa, Pakistan and the Caribbean as a waterwell driller-supervisor. A dual citizen of Australia and Canada, John was also a millwright-welder-fabricator in the Canadian Arctic, Alberta, Manitoba and around BC. John connected easily with the basic goodness in all people of whatever race, creed or colour - an adventurous life lived with kindness, fun and humour. We love you John, wish you the "ideal scene" and look forward to meeting you again up in the line!
