EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Many aid family of drowned child HEATHER COLPITTS hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Velissa Johnson loved pretending to talk on her play phone and with eight older siblings always had someone to play with. The big spirit of the two-anda-half year old Langley girl is gone. The small girl was found dead on the evening of Feb. 6 after a pond on the family’s rural five-acre property was drained Saturday. She had wandered off from playing outdoors with other kids during the afternoon. “Unfortunately water holds a certain attraction to children and this is a case of a moment’s inattention,” Langley RCMP Sgt. Garth Huziak. Velissa was the subject of a search that involved RCMP, Fraser Valley Search and Rescue, the fire department, RCMP Air 1, and BC Ambulance, along with many others who know the family and even strangers. Since the tragedy, the family felt the need to reach out to all those who helped them during what could only be described as a nightmare. “All the support has been amazing,” said Elliot, the older brother, on behalf of the family. Soon word spread about a child missing. “Neighbours, people walking by, church family, and people

trucks, two normal ones, and a pumper truck. On top of that, were maybe eight to 10 police cruisers. Absolutely incredible the team work, and promptness of their arrival, and methods.” He said a Victim Services offi-

cer came quickly. “Her presence, and professional yet caring attitude, was greatly appreciated,” he added. Members of the Johnson’s church family came to the house, helping as they could. “Then two officers came in, both woman, and took statements from everyone. They were so patient, and kind, and were so good with interviewing the younger kids, asking them in ways that their answers would actually be of help.” A service for Velissa is scheduled for Saturday at the Rose of Sharon Baptist Church at 1 p.m. “We know her spirit is in heaven with Jesus, and only her body is left here on earth. We look forward to seeing her again,” he said. The family wanted to thank the emergency responders that showed up so quickly for doing such a hard job, working in the dark, and for finding her. “If we never had any answers, it would haunt us for the rest of our lives,” Elliot said. The Johnsons said the neighbours, and passersby took time out of their lives, to search for “our little girl.” “We won’t forget your kindness to us,” he said. “May we as a community, come together when others are hurting, to aid in the comfort, as you have done for us.” – With files from the Vancouver Province.

Puppy seizure largest in B.C. history An alleged puppy mill was raided by SPCA officials recently. MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The B.C. SPCA has seized 66 neglected dogs and puppies from a Langley site it called a

puppy mill. The 32 adult dogs and 34 puppies were seized from a Langley breeder on Feb. 4, according to Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BC SPCA. Langley RCMP said the site was located near 256th Street and 85th Avenue. The dogs, including English sheep dogs, Bernese mountain

dogs, wheaton terriers, standard and miniature poodles and Portuguese water dogs, had serious medical issues, according to an SPCA press release. Some dogs had broken limbs, missing ears and eyes, infections and abscesses, dental disease, and severely matted and feces-caked fur. They were also malnourished. Moriarty said the dogs and

Langley RCMP are looking for witnesses to a hit and run collision that injured a 12-year-old Aldergrove boy on Jan. 27. At about 4:30 p.m. that day, the boy was walking north on 272nd, and crossed Fraser Highway with the WALK sign illuminated, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. An eastbound black truck hit the boy. The driver stopped for a moment, looked at the boy, then drove south on 272nd Street. The boy suffered minor injuries and did not require medical attention, said Largy. Anyone with information that can help find the driver, described as a man 40-50 years old, can call the Langley RCMP at 604-5323200, or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or text BCTIP and a message to CRIMES (274637) or send a tip online.

Pulling people from burning cars, river rescues, and tackling suspects into thick brambles were among the acts of selflessness recognized by the Langley RCMP Detachment Awards Ceremony on Feb. 4. Supt. Murray Power handed out Officer in Charge Commendations to more than 40 officers and civilians for a host of brave actions. Those honoured included: • Stephen Murray, who jumped into the Fraser River on April 12, 2014, to rescue a kayaker who had capsized without a life jacket. • Const. Aaron Kehler, who confronted a woman armed with a knife and helped prevent her from jumping out of a third-floor window while apparently intoxicated. • Robin Bajer, who saw a car crash into a ditch and burst into flames on Old Yale Road on Aug. 24, 2014. He helped the driver and passenger to safety. • Const. Bob Johnston chased down a suspected thief who had just crashed a stolen car. The thief threw himself into a dense

Manjit Bahi found a break and enter suspect who had cut an artery in his leg in an accident with his own knife. Bahi used a dog leash as an improvised tourniquet and stayed with the man until the Air Ambulance arrived to rush him to hospital. • Const. Deanna Law rushed a young woman who had taken an overdose of pills to a hos-

pital, when no ambulance was immediately available. The woman recovered. • Constables Audrey Parent and Inderjeet Sandhu gave CPR to a young woman who had overdosed on an unknown drug. The woman later recovered. • Const. Gian Millette was off duty when he arrived home and found fellow officers nearby who were looking for a bank robbery suspect. Millette heard a neighbour’s cries and arrested the intruder, who was armed with a large knife. • Erin McGreevy helped in a child sexual assault investigation by locating latent fingerprint

impressions on pages torn from a journal. • Noel Christiansen also found fingerprints during an investigation, locating them on stolen mail and leading to the arrest of a suspect responsible for the theft of more than 8,000 pieces of mail. Two groups of officers were singled out for working on particular projects. The Langley Serious Crime unit was honoured for its work catching a man suspected in eight bank robberies around Langley and other Lower Mainland communities in the fall of 2015. The officers managed to track down the specific grey Chevrolet Cavalier connected to the suspect and two men were eventually arrested. A large group of officer and civilian employees were honoured for their work evacuating two four-storey buildings in Murrayville in the early morning hours of May 17. A nearby condo complex under construction had caught fire, and the flames spread to nearby apartments. Numerous officers organized an evacuation, sometimes kicking their way into apartments. The Langley Detachment Operational Communications Centre staff were honoured for co-ordinating the efforts. Long service awards were also given to officers and auxiliaries.

Get out, get active With the Timms Community Centre grand opening around the corner, Langley City is ramping up its drive to get people active. During February, the City is promoting health through its Moments of Activity campaign, explained Mayor Ted Schaffer. “Building on the 5-2-1-0 principle of healthy living, we are trying to show people how easy it can be to get one hour of activity each day,” he said. “All it takes are moments where you mindfully say ‘I’m going to get up and get active’ – it could not be easier.” The campaign is a video challenge from council: record and upload Moments of Activity to YouTube, then share via social media with the hashtag #ActiveMoments. Participants are also asked to challenge three friends to show their Moments of Activity for a chance to win six months free membership to the Timms Community Centre. City council has started the campaign off by challenging City fire and rescue, senior staff, and Langley’s division of family practice. The new Timms Community Centre will host its grand opening on Feb. 24.

Author, musician and broadcaster Wab Kinew is the keynote speaker at unique gathering about the aboriginal residential school Truth and Reconciliation process taking place across Canada. The Langley Journey to Reconciliation Committee has organized events Feb. 19, 20 and 21. When former local school trustee Cecelia Reekie returned from Ottawa after experiencing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s impact, she wanted to do

something to make the work relevant to her community. A local committee was formed. It is a grassroots cross-section of the community that includes a retired Anglican minister, school district senior staff and more. They have planned the weekend of activities. Friday features Kinew reading from

his memoir. Saturday features a day of conversations on the topics surrounding aboriginal residential schools, drumming, a panel discussion featuring a residential school survivor and government, school and community representatives, Kinew speaking, crafts, food, archival material from the United Church and

Sunday concludes with the An Inter-Faith Ceremony of Healing and Reconciliation at 21562 Old Yale Rd., (the former Sharon United Church) starting at 6:30 p.m. “It’s important for Canadians to understand how we got here today,” Reekie said. Residential schools are one component of the history of Canada and the history of aboriginal peoples. It’s interconnected with the Indian Act, treaties, and more. But it’s had the most direct effect on families because people who were not raised by parents were not able to parent. Reekie added that the last residential school closed in 1996 so this is not ancient

history. Reekie said people attend and participate as they choose. She said the most important thing for organizers is people’s willingness to share and learn from different perspectives. Each person will be at a different place in terms of their understanding of the issues, their

Throne speech hits right notes

When downtown was a million miles

t seems to be that the closer you get to downtown, the longer it takes to get there. Ironically, that is progress. When I was a kid, downtown was a million miles away – or at least it seemed about that far. We lived in the sticks outside one of the larger towns on Vancouver Island. If Alberni and Port Alberni had been one town back then, as they are now, they would have been bigger than Nanaimo was. Beaver Creek School was as close to downtown as I usually got. It was a 20-minute hike down a gravel road to the bus stop, and then a 10-minute ride down a lonely road to the school. Same thing in reverse to get home. Next step towards downtown took us to Berry Store, somewhat more than a corner store, where we got most of our groceries. Every week, if we were good, two or three of us got to go along – there are seven of us in total – and if we were really, really good, we’d each get a penny to buy candy. Yes, kids, those pennies that don’t even exist anymore used to buy stuff all on their own. We could save them up for a few weeks and buy a nickel chocolate bar, about the size of the ones you get for a dollar today, or we’d chip in together and get a Coke or an Orange Crush.

Odd Thoughts

he 2016 Speech from the Throne contains several items that give hope for the future. There is a focus on agriculture and protecting local food supplies, attention to climate change and First Nations issues, and pledges to do something about the soaring price of housing that could lock a generation out of home ownership. Near the beginning of the document, there is a section that would have seemed bizarre just a few short years ago. British Columbians are warned about the economic trap that has enveloped Alberta. “Over the decades, Alberta lost its focus,” said the Lieutenant-Governor Judith Guichon, speaking for Premier Christy Clark’s Liberal government. “They expected their resource boom never to end, failed to diversify their economy and lost control of government spending.” For decades, and particularly during the 1990s when the NDP were in power in B.C., it was popular to emphasize how much B.C. could learn from Alberta. It seemed British Columbia was somehow to blame for not sitting atop a giant lake of oil during a time of rising fossil fuel prices. Now, unfortunately for Albertans, the bust that follows all booms has arrived. And it turns out that rather than wisely investing, successive Conservative governments squandered the oil-generated wealth on government spending and low taxes. We shouldn’t be too quick to point fingers. B.C. has a more diversified economy, but we still depend on many natural resources that are subject to the rising and falling tides of the world economy. And our own government is still going forward with plans for liquefied natural gas – albeit more slowly. It’s good that we’re wary of falling into Alberta’s trap. But hopefully our government will learn the larger lesson – that there is no economy so successful that it can’t be dealt a blow by factors entirely outside the control of any premier or legislature. – M.C.

Letters to the editor

Retiring librarian will be missed

Dear Editor, After 17 years as director of the Langley City Library, Pat Dawson is retiring from paid active service. As a person with a disability (P.W.D.), I have seen the amazing job she has done there for the people of this community. She has created an outstanding atmosphere for all people to enjoy the fundamentals of the written word regardless of culture, class, colour, creed or carat weight. She has assembled a great staff of knowledgeable friendly people who do their jobs very well. I am there daily to work on the internet and my writing, and this has enriched my life immensely. She has been instrumental in implementing so many programs in a wonderful, clean, safe, cre-

ative environment here, from ESL training for immigrants, and a place for other P.W.D.s to enjoy, to the spinning and writers clubs, and the entire place runs like a Swiss watch. The computers and printer are almost always in perfect working order, and I have yet to see even one book out of place. Even though funding has often been a challenge, they have done great job making resources available to all. Although she has usually been the invisible face behind the scenes, her work has always been obvious to us all, and I for one can only hope that her replacement will be able to live up to those standards. As a person with such otherwise limited resources, I can’t adequately express how nice it is to come here to enjoy the ambi-

ance and ingest the wide variety of brain food available here. With so much other artificial virtual junk contaminating our minds every day, it is great to be able to stop in and take home something actual, like a hard copy in the form of a DVD, because we can’t afford cable, or an actual book that you don’t need to click a rodent to read. Something that more people should try sometime. I’ve never heard the phrase “To curl up with a good screen.” If I was ever rich, I know where I will leave some money to. Libraries are the bank where the favourite currency is knowledge. Because a mind really is a terrible thing to waste. Thank you, Pat. Danny A. “Hurricane” Halmo, Langley City

Selfless volunteers deserve recognition

Dear Editor I was very pleased to see the letter in your paper seeking nominations for this year’s Flowerdew and Arnason Awards [Honour volunteers, Jan. 28 Opinion, Langley Advance]. As a previous nominee, I know what an honour it is to be nominated for such a prestigious award. As an active volunteer

in our community, I also know firsthand the number of volunteers required to make any event successful and in Langley, our volunteer base is incredible and I’ve had the privilege of working with many of them. I also know, there are a lot of people whose names could be brought forward to be recognized for their volunteerism

in the Township of Langley. I encourage everyone to take some time out of their schedules to put together a nomination package to recognize the dedicated volunteer or volunteer duo they know for one of these two awards. Deadline is Feb. 12 and the nomination application is online on the TOL website. Michael Jackstien, Langley

Keep smoking clear from shared space

I was elated to read that the condo strata council where Paul Aradi lives won their day in court, forcing Mr. Aradi to stop smoking in his condo unit [Senior must butt out, Jan. 28, Langley Advance]. In his defence, Mr. Aradi took to stating mobility issues, smoking since he was a teenager, veteran status and that he lived in his residence before the condo strata passed the non-smoking bylaws 2009. None of these give Mr. Aradi the right to cause serious health issues and disturbances to his neighbours.

Mr. Aradi’s right to smoke does not overrule a person’s right to be in a non-smoking environment, free from dangerous carcinogens and the terrible smell that accompanies the habit. I believe that all condo and townhome complexes should implement a strict non-smoking rule not only on common property, but inside the units wherever there is a shared common wall or vent. A smoker must be forced to leave the property and engage in the habit in an area where it does not impede other people’s rights.

Hike irks taxpayer

Dear Editor, Township tax increase set at nearly four per cent – is this council out of their collective minds? The Canadian… and B.C. economy is in a shambles and these totally-out-of-touch-with-reality elected airheads have the unmitigated gall to raise our property taxes by well over three times the cost of living increases we got on our provincial and federal pensions – 1.2 per cent. Maybe they missed the BC Assessment average increase for Langley Township of around eight per cent. Or maybe they are so out of touch with their constituents that they think we won’t object? It is time to let these elitists know enough is enough. I’m a Langley Township resident 40 years and sick and fed up. Win Bromley, Langley

This should include people who engage in smoking any other type of drug paraphernalia. If Mr. Aradi wants to smoke in his home, then he needs to purchase a single, detached

home, stay inside and smoke to his heart’s content. That way he’s happy and his smoking is contained to himself. Sandra Steffan, Willowbrook

Students at R.E. Mountain Secondary in Willoughby learn the core academic subjects – math, English, the sciences – but they also work in everything from metal to computer code, paint to pastry. Today (Thursday, Feb. 11) the school will throw open its doors to the public for Arts Incorporated (Inc.), a festival of food, graphic design, music, drama, video, woodworking, and other items created as part of the school’s elective classes.

• Students in Sherrine Francis’s foods class are taking part in a master chef competitions. “Once a year they have to teach the class a recipe that they believe is their star recipe,” Francis explained. Some of the best presenters will be showing off their recipes at Arts Inc. Last year they ran out of food, “which I guess is a good problem to have,” Francis said. This year’s Arts Inc. will involve about 200 students helping out, with art displays, improv theatre, and numerous displays and food.

ACTIVITIES Well, I don’t have a ‘special someone’ in the traditional Valentine’s sense, but I do have a granddaughter that I adore, so if I could spend some time with her on Valentine’s Day, that would be fantastic.

My Valentine’s day this year is what I consider to be my perfect Valentine. “My husband and I are dropping our son at Grandma’s and going to the Ryan Reynolds romantic comedy… Deadpool! ;) Jessica Callaghan, Walnut Grove

The Langley Advance asked readers to describe their perfect Valentine’s Day celebration.

The movies would have us believe that people dream of jet setting off to an exotic locale for a romantic dinner, truckloads of red roses or some other kind of grand gesture. But readers tell us their celebrations are really centered on spending time with the people they love. The entries were put into a draw for a $50 gift card to Pasta Polo which was won by Cathy Hebert.

Heart-themed happenings Local Valentinethemed events are on offer. The Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. will benefit by some Valentine Bingo Feb. 12. Seven Chartwell locations, including the two in Langley, will host bingo tournaments this upcoming Valentine’s weekend with proceeds benefiting the foundation’s ongoing work to reduce heart disease and stroke in Canada. On Friday, Feb. 12 this first annual event will be held at two locations in Langley: Chartwell Langley Gardens Retirement Community, 8888 202nd St., from 10:30 a.m. to noon and Chartwell Renaissance, 6676 203rd St., between 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. The public can show the Heart and Stroke Foundation some love while enjoying great company and a little friendly competition.

Trinity Western University professor Allyson Jule takes her education students to Cameroon to teach African children as part of their journey to becoming teachers. She also created the school’s Gender Studies Institute. Now Jule has been named one of Canada’s top 10 professors, earning the 3M Teaching Fellowship for excellence in teaching and leadership. This is a first for a TWU educator. “For me, it’s a statement about the School of Education, its faculty, staff and students, and the kind of atmosphere of excellence we create together,” said Jule. She is on sabbatical as a visiting research fellow at the University of Oxford.

Trinity Western University

Allyson Jule is one of the top 10 professors in Canada and teaches at Trinity Western University. Her education students do study trips to Cameroon, where they work in remote village schools alongside local teachers who work without any electricity or running water, and rely solely on chalk and painted-on chalkboards. Jule has also been recognized for her contribution to gender studies. She is the co-director of TWU’s Gender Studies Institute, founded in 2008. In 2011, she introduced a gender studies minor, and in 2012, an

innovative course on gender in education – the only undergraduate course of its kind in the country. Several professors from other institutions have asked her about course design. “I feel really lucky to be able to teach this course at TWU,” said Jule. “Gender is such an important social variable in the educational experience. We can’t ignore it. It’s powerful.” For Jule, feminism in particular is a vital topic for Christian students to consider. “The history of feminism is deeply embedded in Christian thought,” she said. “The first feminists were Christians who argued for inclusion on the basis of Scripture.” Earlier this year, Jule was named president-elect for the Women’s and Gender Studies et Recherches Feministes (WGSRF). She will serve for a year before taking on the presidency for a two-year term. The Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and 3M Canada award the annual fellowships.

Ruminate on musical’s message Don’t be put off by the name of a new school show.

Brookswood Musical Theatre presents Urinetown, a social satire. It will be the first time the show is performed on a local stage.

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH BLACK PRESS COMMUNITY NEWS MEDIA

When nature calls, Canadians can decide to go to the bathroom without first having to check and see if they have any money. But imagine a future where water shortages have turned one of the most basic and vital human needs into an industry. Brookswood Musical Theatre shares this futuristic vision in Urinetown. “The show’s message of how important it is to create a sustainable way of life is so relevant now. I love how the show satirizes greed and conspicuous consumption with upbeat musical numbers,” said teacher Sheri Eyre. In the future a water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a company that charges admission. A hero emerges who decides he’s not going to take this anymore. But can a revolution to allow people

they can relieve themselves as they choose succeed? Eyre saw Urinetown performed at the Firehall Arts Theatre in Vancouver and thought Brookswood should do the show. “It’s hilarious, the music is fantastic and it allows for so many actors to shine in character parts. I’m so proud of all the fun details each cast member has brought to their roles,” she said. Students ranging from Grade 8 to 12 – 54 in all – are involved, and some former students have even come back to work on the tech side of the production. “Being in a musical is an

incredible experience. It takes months of dedicated work. It requires students to work collaboratively and creatively,” she explained. “So many important life skills are developed and practiced during the rehearsal and performance process. Students work together towards a common goal, demonstrating incredible grit and determination and they put in hundreds of hours in order to have this show come to life.” The show is at once social satire, comedy, social commentary, a musical and more. “The best part of the show,

for me, is the discussions between Officer Lockstock (played by Marcus Loden) and Little Sally (played by Ally Ray) about the fact that they are in a badly named show called Urinetown, The Musical,” Eyre said. The show pokes fun at itself as well as the musical genre. All the while it is a perfect example of what a musical can be; smart, funny and heartfelt, she added. Urinetown runs Feb. 10 to 13 and 17 to 20 at the school, 20902 37A Ave. Showtime is 7 p.m., and admission is $12. Tickets are at bssmusicaltheatre.brownpapertickets.com.

Festival supports Langley students

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Starting with a film that has a distinct local flavour, the first annual Langley International Film Festival (LIFF) promises to give local film buffs plenty to chew on. The Langley School District Foundation in partnership with Langley Film Nights Shot in the Dark and the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) presents LIFF the weekend of Feb. 19 to 21. The festival opens with NUMB, an edgy, provocative film directed by Langley’s Jason Goode. The film is Goode’s premiere screening and the cast and crew will be in attendance both at the film and during the opening night gala at lelem’ Arts and Culture Café. All screenings will take place at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley with proceeds from ticket and concession sales going to support art and film programs in the Langley School District.

The screenings expand on the Langley Film Nights Shot in the Dark, noted LIFF committee member Barb Mykle-Hotzon. “We rent a theatre at Colossus every other Wednesday night and show films from the Toronto International Film Festival,” MykleHotzon explained. “It fills a need in our community. So many people want to see films that aren’t Hollywood blockbusters, but are independent and/or foreign films that they would otherwise not have access to.” Aside from LIFF, Shot in the Dark shows TIFF films from January to May, before starting up again in September to the end of November. Between 120 to 150 people come to screenings. Now, Langley Film Nights is partnering with the Langley School District Foundation for the first ever film festival. LIFF features six screenings: Friday, Feb. 19 – 7 p.m. NUMB: When a couple in financial distress discovers GPS coordinates that promise to lead to stolen gold, they must partner with a pair of mysterious hitchhikers to enter the remote

HISTORY

Chamber began in depths of the Depression The Chamber has been the voice of business for 85 years.

he Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has waxed and waned during the past 85 years. As the Chamber prepares to celebrate another big birthday this year, its members, board, and staff can look back on a history that has seen it weather the Great Depression, floods, and near dissolution at least once. Go back just a little way, and when asked about the Langley Chamber of Commerce, there were competing claims for the title. “There used to be three chambers of commerce serving the community,” said the Chamber’s executive director, Lynn Whitehouse. “Nowadays, business doesn’t really know any boundaries.” The three Chambers had been around for years, into the late 1990s. An Aldergrove Chamber represented merchants in Langley’s eastern-most community. North of the highway, the Fort Langley Chamber had expanded to Walnut Grove

Many of the prominent locals who signed have since had their names become part of Langley’s landscape: Dr. Benjamin Marr, Noel Booth, and P.Y. Porter. Those early signers were mostly merchants and shopkeepers, some tradesmen, farmers, and a veterinarian. One was A.G. Fulton, station agent for the B.C. Electric Railroad.

and become the North Langley Chamber. All three finally merged through the course of about two years, and the old Langley Chamber added “Greater” to its name to mark the expansion. The Chamber was born in 1931, two years into the Depression, with 63 residents signing the papers to form what was then called the Langley

They represented a cross-section of business owners and labourers in a Langley that had a population of a little more than 5,000 people. While some early records were lost in the flood of 1948, some of the earliest surviving Chamber minutes show some things have not changed. Issues of taxes, transportation, and parking show up as frequently 60 years ago as they do now. Whitehouse has overseen many of the more recent changes personally. She started working there in 1986, the year of Expo, and that meant a lot of tourism work.

“We were the tourism organization,” Whitehouse said. Tourism was a huge part of the work of Chambers of commerce, including in Langley, where all three Chambers at the time ran tourism offices. “It was actually fun, really fun,” Whitehouse said of all the public interaction. Being provincially funded tourism offices meant a requirement to stay open seven days a week in July and August, and that Victoria got to pick the interior decor. A tourism tax on hotels was instituted in 2007, and promotion of the community to visitors split off to Tourism Langley. Another big change through the years has been location. When Whitehouse began working for the Chamber, the offices were downtown at Fraser Highway and Glover Road. When the road was realigned, they moved a few doors down. Then they moved again, to bigger quarters on Glover Road. Last year the Chamber staff relocated again, having sold their mortgage-free Glover Road digs. They now have a second-storey office in the Carvolth area just off 200th Street and north of 80th Avenue.

CHAMBER EVENTS

Keeping busy with Langley’s businesspeople

The Greater Langley Chamber puts variety into its monthly events.

he Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce hosts events monthly for the business community, but also reaches out to the broader community several times a year. The big events on the calendar tend to cluster around the winter months, or around elections. In November, the Chamber’s annual awards ceremony honours businesses large and small, along with a host of other categories, from last year’s new Under 40 award to Community Impact, Environmental Leadership, Service Excellence, and Entrepreneur of the Year Award. The crowner of the evening is the George Preston Memorial Businessperson of the Year, named for the late Langley Township mayor, businessman, and philanthropist. In December, at the Chamber’s big holiday bash, the H.D. Stafford Good Citizen of the Year Award is handed out. By tradition, the recipient is not told of the event until they are called up from the audience, which has resulted in many surprised faces over the years. H.D. Stafford winners are honoured

Longtime executive retiring Changing with business

he longtime executive director of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has officially announced her retirement. Lynn Whitehouse will step down at the end of June this year. “It is with great pride, albeit mixed emotions, that I announce that I will be stepping aside as senior staff person of the Langley Chamber,” Whitehouse said. She started working at the Chamber in 1986, and kind of fell into the position. Whitehouse began as an assistant to the then-economic development officer for both Langley City and Township. Economic development worked out of the Chamber offices at the time. Shortly after Whitehouse’s arrival, the Chamber manager left and the economic development partnership ended. Whitehouse was left to take over. She stayed because of the many changes and the fact that

I am wondering why you called the holes ‘deep.’ If the trees were deeper in your holes than the soil lines on the trunk, they would have been too deep. Roots need oxygen which is why

hole because you want the tree roots to have a good reason to reach out. Once the trees are safely planted, sprinkle some bonemeal and Sea Soil or manure around the drip line. Before the summer, it would be useful to mulch around the trees with a layer of grass clippings to

Ron Tuckey, Burnaby

Leaving the burlap on could account for 90 per cent of the problem. Some people will tell you it doesn’t matter, but burlap doesn’t rot that fast, especially if the soil is well-drained. The long, hot summers we’ve had would deter rotting even more. It’s very likely that the tree roots were wrapped around in a circle within the burlap and if they grew at all would have been continuing to circle within the burlap instead of reaching out.

many tree roots are within a few inches of the surface. I hate to recommend lifting them again and re-planting them because this will be another shock to trees which already aren’t doing well. But really, Ron, it’s the only way. Remove the burlap completely and spread out the roots so they lead away from the trunk as you replant. It’s best to put very little compost in the new planting

Dear Anne,

I have a pink and a purple calla lily overwintering in the garage and some sprouts are starting to show on them. Both clumps are about five or six inches across. Should I divide them into smaller pieces? I’d like to give

them an early start inside the house, but I’m not sure when to bring them in.

Jean Lee, Port Coquitlam

It’s really best to divide your calla lilies in fall before you bring them in. But people in warmer climates where callas grow outside all year round, usually divide them in spring. Like all bulb and tuberous plants, callas are quite resilient. The important thing is to divide them before they start flowering. Since your clumps have got quite big, they really need to be divided before flowers start to get fewer. So I’d say go ahead and divide them as soon as possible before the sprouts develop any more. Smaller pieces are a good idea. But it’s best if each of the new clumps contains a few bulbs. Right now is a good time to bring your calla lilies inside to give them an early start.

Langley Mustang Hannah Rolfe will be Blue later this year – and that’s a good thing. When fall rolls around, the Walnut Grove Secondary Grade 12 student-athlete jets off to the University of Toronto, where she’ll compete for the varsity Blues track and field team. Rolfe said she chose the U of T based on the university’s “stellar academics, impeccable coaching and the atmosphere of the team and campus.” “I’m so excited for next year to be competing as a Blue,” Rolfe said. Rolfe becomes the third Mustang to sign this season to compete at the collegiate level. “Hannah is an outstanding athlete and has worked hard for so many years,” Mustangs head coach Dwayne Lotnick noted. “She’s an amazing talent that is going to excel at the next level.”

Langley Mustangs team member Hannah Rolfe has excelled in high jump recently. Starting this fall, Rolfe will be attending the University of Toronto, where she’ll compete for the Blues. Inset above left: Hannah Rolfe won Western Canada Summer Games gold as a member of Team BC. Rolfe’s track career elevated to a higher stratosphere this past August when she won the Western Canada Summer Games high jump competition with a leap of 1.71 metres. She called the 2015 Games in Wood Buffalo, Alta., “a lot of fun.”

The Stealth played their best game of their National Lacrosse League season, toppling the Colorado Mammoth 15-7 Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. This is the same Mammoth team that pounded the Stealth 14-5 two weeks ago.

Follow the bouncing puck: Langley Rivermen winger Justin Fregona looked for a way past Chilliwack Chiefs defenceman Rylan Bechtel Monday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. The Chiefs upended the Rivermen 5-2 in front of 2,323 fans.

“It was a great experience to be on Team BC with my friends,” Rolfe said. “Truthfully I wasn’t expecting to win, never mind attain a new personal best.” When both happened, she said she was “elated.” Winning Western Canada Summer Games gold and signing a university track scholarship is the end result of nearly a decade of dedication for Rolfe, who started with the Mustangs when she was eight years old. “My mom signed me up, convinced I’d do well,” Rolfe recalled. “Initially I was doubtful but after my first season in the junior development program run by Kevin Harrison, I grew to like it very much.” She took a liking to a sport that comes naturally to her. “The sprinting aspects primarily, then soon after, high jump became one of my better events, as well,” Rolfe said, adding, “I recall my first competition and being very nervous but managed to walk away with a third place in the high jump…”

The U of T wasn’t the only school that showed interest in Rolfe for the fall of 2016 – there was also Mississippi State University, Long Island University, the University of British Columbia, and University of Alberta. In the end, Rolfe decided the Toronto was her best choice. That said, she is taking a modest approach to the next chapter of her track career. “I really don’t know what to expect out of my first year of collegiate competition,” Rolfe said. “I’m anxious to see how high the competition level is and to rise to the occasion. I’m very excited to start training with U of T, as well. I believe I’m ready for the next part of my journey at the collegiate CIS level.” To prepare for the fall, Rolfe plans to compete in the University of Washington Open meet, the Oregon Relays, and, if all goes well, the B.C. high school provincial championships followed by the junior nationals in the summer. continued on page A28…

Thunder U18 boys win B.C. title The hosts had a terrific weekend. TROY LANDREVILLE sports@langleyadvance.com

Fittingly, the sun shone on Family Day Monday, because it was a glorious finish to a golden weekend for Langley’s U18 tier one boys field lacrosse team. The Langley Thunder captured the B.C. championship on their home turf of Willoughby Community Park, edging the Coquitlam Adanacs 11-9 in the gold medal game. “It’s pretty exciting, pretty gratifying. It’s awesome,” Thunder head coach Bryan Poole said. “A lot of these kids are players we’ve seen go through

The Langley Thunder U18 boys field lacrosse team are No. 1 after winning the B.C. title on Monday at Willoughby Community Park. the system and now they’re young men, and they’re a great bunch. Every player contributed to the win so it was pretty special, and a half dozen of the guys are graduating and going on to play university lacrosse.” Poole added, “We have the best goalie in B.C., by far, in Levi Gallant. He had an amazing weekend.”

Family support key …continued from page A27

One constant is the family support provided by her parents Sandy and Trent and younger brother Alex. “My parents have always been extremely supportive of my training and academic goals,” Rolfe said. “Without their support I surely wouldn’t be the athlete I am today, I’m so thankful for their love and encouragement through the years.” Fifteen-year-old Alex is also an athlete, and plays hockey at Yale Secondary. “He has an undeniably bright future ahead of him and is doing exceptionally well goaltending this year on Yale’s U15 team,” Rolfe said.

The hosts went undefeated over the weekend. Scores were: • Friday, 12-8 win over Coquitlam (MVP Ryan Martel) • Saturday, 7-4 victory over New Westminster (MVP Quinn McKitrick) • Saturday, 9-2 win over Ridge Meadows (MVP Caleb Pearson) • Sunday, 7-7 tie with Delta (MVP Levi Gallant) • Monday for the gold medal: 11-9 victory over Coquitlam (MVP Connor McNeill) The B.C. champion Thunder include: Ryan Alcos, Quinn Beavis, Josh Brunsch, Matthew Brunsch, McKenzie Day, Colin Gormley, Trevor Hawley, Dylan Kaminsky, Everett Kellner, Nathaniel Kozevnikov, Jordan Lewis, Ryan Martel, Nathan McKeigan, Quinn McKitrick, Connor McNeill,

DQ Grill growing

teven Wheelhouse is no stranger to Langley, but he’s one of the newest kids on the block in Willoughby. Wheelhouse is the franchise-owner of the DQ Grill & Chill restaurant in Willowbrook, and now the new store in Willoughby Town Centre. While he opened the new restaurant – with its treats and cakes – back in mid-December, he held its official grand opening on Family Day, Feb. 8. By all accounts it was quite the party: an ideal day for neighbours to welcome Steve and his 22-member staff to the community. > More: langleyadvance.com

ance Verhoeff insists he isn’t a “beer snob.” That’s not to say the general manager of Langley’s Trading Post Brewing, which celebrates its public grand opening this Saturday, Feb. 13, isn’t somewhat of a craft beer connoisseur. After all, his passion for stouts, ales, and lagers is a big reason why he decided to open the brewery/tasting room at 20120 64 Ave. “I absolutely love craft beer but had only been introduced to it three or four years ago,” Verhoeff said. “My love for different styles of beer changes with the weather. Right now, I’m all about stouts, but come summertime, my beer choice will change to wheat ales or a crisp lager on a hot summer day.” Trading Post is part of a craft brewery movement that’s sweeping across B.C. and much of North America. Last year, 22 craft breweries opened in B.C. Combine that with the 24 openings in 2014, and 46 craft breweries that opened for business in the province over the past two years. B.C. Craft Brewers Guild executive director Ken Beattie noted that another 15 are slated to open

in the province this year, and that there are craft breweries located in roughly 50 communities across B.C. Trading Post joins Aldergrove’s award-winning Dead Frog Brewery as prominent commercial craft brewers in Langley. eanwhile, Langley’s Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Brewing and Brewery Operations program is the only brewing diploma program of its kind in B.C. – and one of only three in Canada. This spring 26 students could possibly graduate from the program, and therefore be fully qualified to be employed by one of the more than 100 craft breweries in B.C.

expert: a man, he pointed out, who has “a ton of experience.” “We’re lucky enough to have Tony Dewald as our head brewer,” Verhoeff said. “Tony is very creative and has brewed up some innovative beers for the Langley community. One of our core values is innovation and Tony definitely embodies this with our beer styles.” ittingly, the vision of Trading Post Brewing began over sharing a couple pints of beer at a brewery. “My wife Marissa said, ‘How amazing would be it run a brewery that is focused on making great beer and building community all at the same time?’” Verhoeff shared. So the idea of Trading Post took shape. Verhoeff deals with the day to day operations with his dad and Uncle Stephen being the other partners in the business Trading Post will open with six different beers on tap, and have eventually eight beers on tap at a time. All of them are named to tell the story of the history of Langley and especially stories that came from Fort Langley. Some of the beer names are: 1827 Helles Lager, Derby Hop Session Lager, Captain Cooper’s Cranberry Ale, and Owhyee Tropical Wheat Ale.

Verhoeff – who is co-founder of Trading Post along with his dad Paul – envisions the B.C. craft beer-making industry growing “astronomically” over the next few years. More photos “Many people search talk about the hot ‘Trading’ spots in the USA like Portland and Denver, but I’ve been down to these hot spots, and the people down there talk about Vancouver and B.C. as an amazing craft beer scene in North America,” Verhoef said. “I don’t see this slowing down any time soon.” Closer to home, Verhoeff will be overseeing operations but he’s leaving the brewing part up to the

Born April 11, 2013, she had a beautiful innocent childhood, and only knew goodness, and love. She loved talking to people, playing with her siblings, and pretending to talk on her phone. Her joy, smile, and adorable antics, of a 2 and a half year old, brought smiles to all around her. It was a joy spending, the time we had with her. She will be missed by her eight brothers and sisters (Ellis, Elliot, Landell, Lochlan, Burklan, Shelise, Brylan, and Veleah), and parents, Craig and Sheri.
