Family of Terry Mitchell were distraught and angry Thursday morning, after learning that the man who killed Mitchell will serve only two years of probation. Melle Pool, 88, was handed a suspended sentence, along with a driving ban and some community service, by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Catherine Bruce in a New Westminster courtroom. He pleaded guilty last year to dangerous driving causing death. Mitchell died on Feb. 25, 2008, when he was working for Valley Traffic Systems on a work site along River Road just east of Fort Langley. Pool, who had been driving without a licence since 2001, didn’t even see Mitchell, only braking after he hit the 52-yearold Pitt Meadows man. Pool had last seen an eye doctor in 1996, had macular degeneration, and had vision worse than 20/200 in both eyes, Bruce noted in her decision. Yet he continued to drive to Fort Langley, believing he was safe because he only drove at 30 km/h, and because he could see the yellow lines down the centre of the road. Pool was usually driving to pick up groceries for himself and his wife. “There could also be an ele-

After the sentencing, Alison Stacey, widow of Terry Mitchell, spoke to the media outside B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. ment of pride in his decision,” Bruce said, noting that Pool grossly underestimated the safety hazard he represented every time he got behind the wheel.

Despite his lengthy period of driving without a licence, Bruce decided not to give Pool a jail term as the Crown had requested. Pool shows remorse, has plead-

ed guilty, and is needed to take care of his ailing wife, Bruce said. “He often sits for hours each day alone in the basement of his house,” she noted. She also implied that a jail sentence could be fatal for him. “In my view, regardless of the sentence imposed, a jail term would be a life sentence for Mr. Pool,” Bruce said. He would likely have to be kept in isolation to avoid becoming the target of other inmates. Mitchell’s widow, Alison Stacey, cradled a picture of her husband and cried as the judge announced her decision. “I’m shocked and horrified by the decision,” Stacey said outside the courthouse. Pool was risking the life of everyone in Fort Langley every time he drove there for years, she said. She also blamed Pool’s family for not stopping him. “The family knows that he shouldn’t have been driving, and they chose to do nothing about it,” she said. The lack of a prison term “seems to be suggesting that Terry’s life was worth nothing,” she said. Mitchell had no children, but he had five siblings and more than two dozen nieces and nephews. “To not be able to see our brother, it’s unacceptable,” older brother Les Mitchell said. In addition to his probation and a year of curfew between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m., Pool will have to do 15 hours of community service, speaking publicly about the dangers of continuing to drive as an elderly person with physical disabilities.

A Langley RCMP officer was taken to hospital after his cruiser and a dump truck collided at Glover Road and 216th Street Thursday morning. The unmarked police car was heading north on 216th Street, crossing Glover Road to Crush Crescent, when a westbound dump truck hit him

just after 11 a.m. Police said the officer was conscious and was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries. He was to be released from hospital later in the day and is expected to recover. The dump truck driver was not hurt. It appears that the police officer was driving through a fresh green light, when the dump truck hit the car’s passenger side, said Cpl. Holly Marks, the spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The intersection was closed in all directions

as police investigated the crash, and the train tracks that parallel Glover Road were also temporarily shut. Both the Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstruction Service, and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement Inspectors were on the scene. The dump truck driver was given tickets for failing to stop at a red light, an insecure load, and failing to display a national safety code sticker. This is the second serious accident of the year in Langley involving a dump truck. In January,

Mounties blocked off Glover Road while investigating Thursday’s crash involving a dump truck and unmarked police car at the intersection of 216th Street and Glover Road. Jim “D.K.” Neiss, a 59year-old bus driver for Langley School District, was killed on 16th Avenue

by a dump truck that police say was passing other vehicles on a double yellow line.

Hear me now?

Two proposed cell phone towers in the heart of Milner drew comment from neighbours and sparked a debate at Township council on Feb. 28. Two members of the Mufford family opposed a plan by Telus to build a tri-pole tower near the corner of Crush Crescent and Glover Road. Township councillors debated the matters, but noted they can’t rule on health matters, nor do they have the final say on whether a tower is built. Industry Canada, a federal body, regulates cell phone towers. • More online

A coroner’s jury considered the last hours of Frank Frechette, who died after a bank robbery in 2008. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The only thing Frank Frechette said to police was “Shoot me,” as he walked toward them, bloody and naked, on a September day two years ago. A coroner’s inquest that began Tuesday heard that testimony from one of the first RCMP officers on the scene, as well as hearing from Frechette’s common-law wife. “This all started out with a bank robbery,” inquest counsel Roderick MacKenzie told the

five-member inquest jury. He called several witnesses who laid out the last few hours of Frechette’s life on Sept. 30, 2008. His common-law wife of the time, Trina Toffan, said that she believed Frechette had been clean of heroin for several years, but that she knew he was addicted to painkillers. Over the previous eight or nine months, she said, he had gone out of control. The morning of his death, Frechette was acting very strangely, Toffan said, and she was scared. “He was very Satanic and devilish,” she said. She drove him to Brookswood and dropped him off near the 7-Eleven at 40th Avenue and 200th Street. She said she was planning to visit a denture clinic

But a few minutes later, he jumped into the back of the van and told her to drive home. In the interim, Frechette had barged into the Royal Bank, knocking a woman down on his way in. He was armed with a shotgun and carrying a nylon duffle bag. He demanded 20s, 50s, and 100-dollar bills from the

teller, but didn’t know they put an explosive dye pack in the bag with the cash. Nels Wetterstrom told the inquest he was about to go into the bank himself that morning. “A little old lady said, ‘You don’t want to go in there, there’s a bank robbery going on,’” Wetterstrom testified. He saw Frechette run out of the bank, and saw the dye pack explode. A huge red cloud of dye erupted from the bag. “The cloud just enveloped him; it was a like a cartoon,” Wetterstrom said. Frechette ran and around the corner, and 10 seconds later a white van pulled out of the parking lot. Wetterstrom followed it, suspecting it was the bank robber, and phoned 911.

Seniors Ride program gets a jump start

A one-time grant has resurrected the program. by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Gentlemen (and ladies), start your engines. The Langley Seniors Resource Centre has received a $30,000 grant to restart its Seniors Ride program. The program sees volunteer drivers offering their services to get local seniors where they need to be, typically for doctor’s appointments, meetings or visits. “This is one of the programs that was so missed,” said Janice McTaggert, the centre’s director of volunteer outreach and services. The program was parked when provincial government grants were cut. In the last full year that the program was offered, volunteer drivers made more than 2,000 trips. In contrast, about 120 rides were offered last year on a crisis basis. “I can’t praise it high enough,” said 89-year-old Willowbrook senior Elsie Duncan. She was able to drive until a few years ago and had relied on the program for an average of about three trips per month,

the year and other sources of funding are continually being investigated. The foundation only allows groups to apply for funding every second year. The centre has applications into United Way and should hear word in about one month on whether there will be funding to resume the peer support and the visiting programs in a fashion. They were cut when the provincial government cut funding to the centre. The transportation program has been revamped as part of the centre’s efforts to keep programs for the long term.

Mary McCarthy said the sound was “thunderous” when this tree toppled in front of her Brookswood business Wednesday morning. Most power was back on by Wednesday night. The power failures meant that some major roads such as 208th Street had no signal lights for much of the day. Most – but not all – drivers obeyed the four-way stop procedure. Police reported that there were no serious accidents linked to the power failures, and fire crews were kept busy with downed wires and a few trees, but no one was reported hurt. A gust early on in the storm knocked down a sizeable tree on 200th Street near 42nd Avenue. The owners of Brennan’s Menswear had just opened for the day when they

heard a crash outside. “It was loud. Thunderous, I suppose would be a good word,” said Mary McCarthy, one of the store’s co-owners. She was pleased that the tree, which has been in front of her store for longer than the 20 years they’ve been open, didn’t hit their building. “It’s pretty scary, the force of the winds,” McCarthy said. She was pleased with the response. An RCMP officer stopped to check on the situation, and Township workers quickly lopped off branches that were blocking the sidewalk along 200th.

In like a lion? March seems determined to prove the old saying, as a major wind storm hit the Lower Mainland Wednesday. The storm hit in earnest just after 9 a.m., when strong gusts began coming in from the south and southeast. By 9:30 a.m., a major power failure affecting more than 4,000 homes and businesses was already being reported by BC Hydro. The power failure stretched from Langley City in the north to the tip of Campbell Valley Park in the south, largely along the east side of 200th Street east to 216th Street. A large part of central Langley, including part of the Gloucester industrial park, was also without power, and parts of Aldergrove and Langley City also had power failures. Numerous smaller outages, affecting a handful of homes, were scattered around Langley.

Scam artists steal card data A fake debit card reader was found at a Langley parking lot. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A pay parking lot was the latest target of a debit card skimming scam, Langley RCMP say. On Feb. 25, a local driver called the Mounties to report that he had tried to swipe his card, but found that the reader was a fake. Debit card skimmers are devices that read and copy the magnetic information

The remains of a debit card skimmer found in a pay parking lot in Langley in late February was recovered by the RCMP. from cards, sometimes along with the personal identification number. Thieves can then retrieve the stored data, and make fake cards. They use low-

level accomplices to withdraw cash from numerous bank machines once they have a large store of copied cards. In this case, police have seized the skimmer, and are warning residents to be on their guard. Devices that eat their cards may be suspicious, especially if someone then approaches and suggests re-entering the PIN, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. Whenever possible, use familiar ATMs, especially ones covered by security cameras, she said.

Police who arrived shortly afterwards found an unsecured door on the west side of the building. One of the officers simply waited by the door for a few minutes, until the suspect walked out. A 51-year-old man was arrested for breaking and entering. In addition to the DVD player, he had a flashlight and a pair of pliers, Marks said.

Coffee shop wake-up call Next time you’re asked if you want a double-double, you’d better check whether that refers to a coffee or a bypass operation. That’s because the new place to receive emergency care, apparently, is the Tim Hortons in the lobby of Royal Columbian Hospital. The Fraser Health Authority admitted Tuesday that the coffee shop had been used as an extension of the Emergency Room from late Monday night to early the next morning. Beds were set up for five patients, Fraser Health spokesperson Jenn Grover said, starting around 11 p.m. The patients were moved into the regular ER next door by about 2 a.m. on Tuesday. Grover added that no procedures were done on any of the patients… which is a relief, because it might be hard to Rrroll Up The Rim To Win while seeing someone get stitched up. Seriously, though, even advocates of private health care probably don’t like the optics of this one, although there is something to be said for being able to request a drink without having to pull that little cord and wait for an overworked nurse to show up. Those who felt an emergent need to find excuses for the failings that led the provincial health care system to this sorry state have pointed out that the coffee shop was closed. And no doubt there is some merit to Health Minister Colin Hansen’s observation that every square inch of the hospital is actually designed to be converted to such use when necessity prevails. But Fraser Health hallways are filled with patients as a matter of course. Our hospitals need more attention. It should take a tremendous crisis to force health care into the hallways, let alone the coffee shops. This situation is so bizarre, it’s great fodder for a stand-up routine, but seriously, folks, the only kidneys in our chili should be of the bean variety.

Federal politics

Bullies make poor role models

Dear Editor, The federal Conservative party is spending a lot of money these days on advertisements that are designed to discredit Michael Ignatieff. The ads focus on his background and the fact that he has lived part of his life in United States. They are called “attack ads” by the media, who tell us the ads produce results. I see a strong similarity between those attack ads and bullying which is prevalent in our society amongst young people. Bullying has been the focus of much attention, and a lot of energy is directed to prevent bullying.

Bullying typically is used by some to discredit others, often based on where they grew up or on differences they may have with the bully. Sadly, bullying can have a negative impact on the victims, and has been cited as a cause of suicide. It would be more productive for the country if the Conservatives engaged in a more intelligent type of advertising. Let us all be role models for our youth and engage in positive debate. Our youth do not need lessons in how to be a bigger bully. Wally Martin, Murrayville

Overpass

Best rail traffic solution ignored Avenue overpass through the Hudson’s Bay Farm in Langley Township. It is too bad the respective councils of the Township and City didn’t have the foresight to have applied to the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) to re-route the freight traffic along the CN main line and BNSF corridor. That was originally proposed by the Lower Mainland Planning Board in 1968, and is still the optimum solution.

Abortion

Animals as created as people

Dear Editor, Dean Clark [Babies are better than animals, March 1 Letters, Langley Advance] mentions the dreadful slaughter of the dogs in Whistler last year, and then relates it to the thousands abortions performed on human mothers-to-be. It is strange to me that those most vehemently apposed to abortion are those with the strongest religious convictions. Do they believe an action by a human being can thwart the will of God? Surely the great Creative Power will plant the seed of its creation in another womb, if He or She desires. And when is the soul placed into its earthly body? Some religions suggest it’s at the moment of birth. Is it that our believed superiority over the animal kingdom confirms our notion that “might is right”? There are many among us who value the kinship with a pet as highly as that of a human being. For, irrespective of intelligence, many believe, an animal’s essence is also the work of a Creator. Mike Harvey, Langley

The application to the CTA, backed by an injunction application to the BC Supreme Court, would have gone a long way to force a better solution than the current one for Langley. Township council seems to have no compunction whatsoever about spending hundreds of thousands of tax dollars on fruitless litigation to defend positions it knows are indefensible, yet won’t make minimal investments on a CTA bet which would have immeasurably improved the lives of residents of the Langleys. If the councils and mayors of the day, backed up with the legal firepower at their disposal, had stood as one against the RBRC, we would have had a different outcome than the one we are currently saddled with. Regrettably, the councilors still in office are unable to see the folly of their participation, and even worse, are unrepentant for same. An application to the CTA could still be made by the Langleys, and with minimal concrete poured yet, could save a substantial amount of money and inconvenience for all. Lee Lockwood, Langley

Transportation

Tolls driving vehicles into gridlock

Dear Editor, Debbie Atkinson [Minister spouting hogwash, Feb. 25 Letters, Langley Advance] is correct: the Trans Canada highway is a federal responsibility. And if my memory serves me right, when the freeway was built in the 1960s, Premier W.A.C. Bennett negotiated with the federal government, and at the time stated that there would to be no tolls on Highway 1, because it was a federal highway. I also remember when Mr. Bennett purchased the Blackball Ferries which ran between Horseshoe Bay and Nanaimo, and extended the Trans-Canada Highway to Victoria, making the ferry system part of Highway 1. That way, there was federal money to supplement the cost of the ferry. Why has this changed, and why are our ferries now privatized? Going back to tolls on the Port Mann Bridge, if it is true that there are to be no

TODAY’S FLYERS... in the Call 604-856-7733 for delivery info.

tolls on the Trans-Canada Highway, how is this government getting away with putting a toll on the bridge? TransLink is complaining that not enough vehicles are using the Golden Ears Bridge. I, for one, do not want a bill in the mail a month after I cross the bridge. If I could toss a loonie into a receptacle as I drove by, I would be more apt to use that bridge. That system seems to work in the U.S.A. Just think of the bureaucracy that could be eliminated if that system was employed. The tolls are too high. Drivers are telling TransLink by using alternate routes. I am afraid TransLink will put another exorbitant toll on the Port Mann, and that will put all the other non-tolled crossings in gridlock.

“Everything was by the book, every turn signal, stop sign,” he said of the van’s trip to a Langley City home. Toffan said that, inside the van, she was far from calm. “I was actually very afraid at this point,” she said. At home, Frechette went into the bathroom and turned on the water full blast. Toffan called the denture clinic, and was on the phone when Frechette came into the kitchen naked and began screaming.

“He was pounding on his chest, and I can liken it to a gorilla,” Toffan said. “He was muttering, ‘I won’t go back,’” she said. Frechette grabbed a butcher knife and stabbed himself in the chest. “He dove out of the living room window, like he was going off a diving board,” she said. Outside, about five police officers had arrived and surrounded the home, said Cpl. Greg Berezowski. Berezowski said they had contained the area, and were getting ready to call the home and ask

their suspect to give himself up. Then they heard a loud scream from inside, and then the window broke. “I saw this guy fall down to the ground floor from about the second floor of the building,” the officer said. Armed with a shotgun, Berezowski told Frechette to lay down on the ground. “We don’t know if this guy’s the suspect or another victim,” he told the inquest. Frechette wandered towards the police and said, “Shoot me,” Berezowski said. “Of course I’m not going to shoot an unarmed naked guy,” Berezowski said. A police dog tried and failed to knock him down. Officers followed him towards his house, and one of the constables fired a Taser. Frechette collapsed across the entryway to the house. Frechette died shortly afterwards, after being taken away by an ambulance. On Wednesday, jurors heard that the immediate cause of Frechette’s death was one of two stab wounds in his chest. “The second one went into the lung and resulted in rapid and excessive bleeding,” said Dr. David Charlesworth, the forensic pathologist who conducted Frechette’s autopsy. When asked if the wound was surviveable, Charlesworth said it might have been. Depending on many factors, someone who received prompt medical attention might live through such a wound, or they might still die. MacKenzie asked about the effect of the Taser. Charlesworth noted that the fact that Frechette was alive for a time after the Taser was used reduces the likelihood that it was a major factor in his death. Aside from the stab wounds and punctures

caused by the Taser, Frechette had a number of bruises, scrapes, and long shallow cuts, likely caused when he flung himself through the window. Toxicology specialist Roland Pon said Frechette had apparently taken heroin the day of his death, and cocaine at some time more than 12 hours before he died. The cocaine was no longer affecting Frechette directly, as it had been metabolized, Pon said. Pon couldn’t say exactly how much heroin Frechette had taken. A videotape of a police interview of Toffan was shown to the jury to clarify that point. On the day after his death, Toffan told Cpl. Dave Hall that both she and Frechette had taken heroin that morning. “Between 6 and 8:30 [a.m.] he had three already,” Toffan said in the interview. “Which is a bit more than he usually does. He usually spaces them out.” In the inquest, Toffan testified that she was not a regular heroin user, and that she didn’t know Frechette was using drugs. She said she didn’t remember making those statements to Hall. Frechette’s former girlfriend, and mother of his two daughters, Jody Pylypow, was in the courtroom for the inquest. She paused for a long time when reporters asked who was responsible for Frechette’s death. “I don’t think the police needed to Taser him,” she said. He was nude and bleeding, and surrounded by police. “I think something could have been done,” Pylypow said. He never wanted his children to see him in jail, she said. The inquest is expected to conclude at the end of this week.

As a long-time community newspaper person (I won’t tell you just how long, but will say I started with the Langley Advance when I turned 15), I’m skeptical about what media strategist Gail Hulnick has to tell local business operators next week about developing a solid media strategy.

Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has invited the seminar presenter, public speaker, writer, and consultant with Windword Communications to lead a special seminar on Thursday, March 10. During Hulnick’s session, she vows to teach Langley business operators the best seven steps to a

productive a media relationship. She’s called it Getting Your Story Told: Making the Most of Media Opportunities. In print, I’m simply going to tell you I take offence with her claims. I’d be concerned for any business that took her claims to heart. To read more about my

thoughts on the matter, visit my Eye On Langley blog at www.langleyadvance.com, or directly at: http://tiny.cc/CTMgj. In the meantime, Hulnick is not coming to Langley for Thursday’s presentation. Instead of driving out here, she’s chosen to make the trek via fibre optic cable. In what organizers call real time, Hulnick is broadcasting her threehour presentation, from 9 a.m. to noon, through Small Business BC in Vancouver. Those of us living east of the Port Mann bridge can register for her show for a cost of $39 (plus HST, of course) at http://www. smallbusinessbc.ca/seminars. We’re told it’s one of several small business seminars offered through the Vancouver-based organization.

Tracycake fans are saying ‘whoopie’

That rant over, now I’m going to tell you about one Fort Langley-based company that seems to understand how to increase her press exposure in a constructive manner. Tracy Dueck of Tracycakes Bakery Cafe has hired a publicist to help unify her marketing plan, and just one part of those duties is connecting with media on Dueck’s behalf. This is one example of how to help ensure – but never any guarantee – some media attention. Host a sincere fundraising effort or community event – not something to line the company pockets, but draw attention. This time out, Dueck and her team are having

George Greenwood is another local businessperson who knows that offering something free to the community often returns big dividends to his company, thanks to increased profile and enhanced reputuation. Greenwood is an expert on identity theft, and as part of his efforts he offers free seminars to help people understand the risks. He’s been delivering his message of prevention since 2005, and is offering another session on Wednesday, here in Langley. Keeping Your Identity Safe is the seminar being hosted by George, but sponsored by Pam Stadnik of Re/Max Treeland Realty. It’s being held March 9, 7-8:30 p.m. at the Best Western Langley Inn, 5978 Glover Rd. Since seating is limited, people must RSVP to reducerisk@telus.net.

Trucker shares views

Another way to gain exposure for a company or organization is to speak out on issues that matter. Paul Landry, president and CEO of the Langleybased BC Trucking Association, is being vocal about what he sees as critical facts about the HST and the upcoming referendum.

The music of Irving Berlin stands the test of time and is the basis for the new Walnut Grove Secondary show.

see page A19… Live music

WWW.LANGLEYADVANCE.COM

Guitarist, songwriter, rocker, humanitarian Langley musician Daniel Wesley wears many hats.

sk Daniel Wesley to describe his approach to music and he’ll tell you: “Try something new – that’s what it’s all about for me.” The former Brookswood resident isn’t afraid to exercise a range of motion within musical genres and he’s got four albums, released in just three years, to prove it. His songs move from solo acoustic numbers to electric guitar heavy melodies, and the 28-year-old now-Vancouver resident has tried everything from rock to reggae, too. “It’s like an iPod; people have iPods for a reason,” he explained. “They don’t want to listen to hip hop for 10 songs or rock for 10 songs. They want variety.” And one way he gives it to them is by trying to govern each of his albums and songwriting by spontaneity. “I never really know what I’m going to do until I get it done,” he said, continuing to explain that an idea is often sparked with the simple action of picking up a guitar or sit-

How to win

A pair of tickets to see Daniel Wesley live

Two lucky readers will each win a pair of tickets to the shows at Rock Sugar on Friday, March 11 (one for the all ages gig and one pair for the later show).

How do you win?

• Visit the Langley Advance website at: www.langleyadvance.com, find “More Ways to Connect,” and click on “send us your letters, photos, video.” • Fill in your name, email, and number. • Then write a short note explaining why you want to attend this show. Please note your community, and include the keyword “Daniel Wesley” at the top of the note. Preference is given to Langley residents. Entries must be received prior to 5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 8, and winners will be notified by telephone. Note: submitted comments could be used in future editions of the newspaper. No staff or family of the Langley Advance or Postmedia Network Inc. are eligible. This contest is restricted to online participants, 19 years or older only.

ting down at the piano. “I do something and see a light and just go for it. It’s like a flash of lightning,” he told the Langley Advance. His albums used to be that way, too – his initial thoughts made into an album, often in mere days. But with more experience, and the additional studio time afforded by his signing with 604 Records in Vancouver, Wesley realized he too can afford to spend a bit more time to fine-tune some of his music and lyrics. He was recently in the studio recording a new album to be released this spring. Wesley said this time around he is trying to explore the meaning of words a bit more, rather than just how they sound. His songs started as escapism, he explained, but on this album he’s trying to get more content. “I never really meant for it to be serious...” he said. “[But] you can only have so many songs about sunshine and happiness.” While Wesley’s songs do often reflect a sunshine-y feel, probably thanks to that reggae flavour, he also occasionally writes about bigger issues, whether that means gang violence in Langley (Pilgrimage from his self-titled album of October 2009) or the earthquake in Haiti. For him, music is a way to express himself when there is no other way. And that’s how The Ballad of Haiti was born. “Music is a place I go to at all times. I just picked up a guitar,” he said. “I wasn’t even going to write a song, I was just in that mood.” Five minutes later, he had a song that would later be recorded and sold on iTunes to raise money for the Canadian Red Cross and their relief efforts in Haiti. “The chorus is ‘Love can save the day’,” he explained. “I just kept thinking about those people. I was trying to express my feelings for them.” Guitar player, singer, songwriter, rocker, and humani-

tarian – with all those hats and more flying on and off Wesley’s head, it’s hard to imagine there could be another, but there is: a Santa hat. 604 Records released a Christmas album on Nov. 23 with 10 tracks recorded by artists such as Suzie McNeil, Faber Drive, and Josh Ramsay (Marianas Trench) among others with Wesley’s track, Our First Christmas at the top of the list. “It’s a warm, campfire song,” said Wesley, continuing with a laugh. “You know, sitting around the fireplace with hot chocolate and a scarf around your neck.” Essentially it’s what Wesley does best, creating a sense of warmth in his music, whether it comes from a tropical reggae sound or the imagery he paints with his words. His schedule isn’t likely to let up any time soon. Wesley was in Edmonton at the end of November to play a preGrey Cup show with a number of talented musicians, and played at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver prior to New Year’s. He spent a big chunk of time in January in Alberta, and will also be spending some time touring Down Under in early spring, as he recently signed to Australian label Red Disc Records. For more information, or for updated tour dates visit www.danielwesley.com. Wesley performs two shows next weekend in his hometown. An all-ages gig is at 7 p.m., while the 19-and-older show gets underway at 9:30 p.m. Being younger gets fans a bit of a break on prices. Tickets for the all ages gig are $20 (plus service charges) while the 9:30 p.m. show costs $25 plus. Tickets can be obtained at www.ticketbreak.com/event_ details/4312. The show is at Rock Sugar, a nightclub at 20299 Industrial Ave. Be sure to keep checking his website for updates because as mentioned, Wesley loves to be spontaneous. “Sometimes I’ll just throw a show in Langley,” he laughed. “It’s fun; it’s where it all started.”

Winter recovery

Spring brings plenty to do

fter months of heavy rain with intervals of freezing weather, gardens that were quite civilized before Christmas become a sorry sight. The first needed cleanup is usually about removing branches, cones, and blown leaves that high winds ripped from trees and dumped on decks, lawns, patios, and paths. Leafy mulches protecting tender plants from killing frosts should be left until the third week in March. But branch dieback can be tackled right away. After a bitter cold snap, some trees or shrubs may look completely dead. But it’s still best to wait and see. Roots of many plants are

often hardier than the top growth. March is a good time to plant trees and shrubs, because moisture is usually abundant, temperatures are slowly warming, and the plant will have several months to root before the summer dry period. Any trench edges to garden beds will need to be recut so they remain a barrier to invading grasses. Lawns may not need full power-raking and aeration, but where there is moss, there should be an application of Dolomite lime followed a few weeks later by a light mulch of compost. Overly wet lawns may also benefit from a thin mulch of sand. Bare patches

Beds where heavy feeders such as onions and corn will be planted should be given a layer of compost, as well.

Singers united for Variety

Five local acts are coming together for a new concert Sunday that’s raising money for sick children. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

angley has a new jewel in its growing crown of talented country singer/songwriters. The most recent addition is Karen Lee Batten, whose name became well known when she made it into the top 10 during the first season of the reality TV show Canadian Idol in 2003. It’s fair to say that was a launching point for this young Fraser Valley singer, who until recently hailed from Abbotsford, but has since moved to Langley. Following Idol, she proceeded to release her debut album, Every Moment in December 2005, and earn considerable airplay for songs like A Bitter End and Hearts on the Run. She’s since, travelled throughout North America performing and sharing the stage with many of the industry’s greats. Now, Batten will be one of several female country artists participating in a fundraising project for Variety – The Children’s Charity. Country Rocks: Girls Edition is being held this Sunday, March 6, at the New Boone (formerly Boone Country) in Coquitlam. And Batten will be joined by Langley’s own up-and-comer Emily Taylor Adams. She’s a 19-year-old Brookswood singer and songwriter who released her first self-titled CD last spring and earned B.C. Country Music Association female vocalist of the year award last fall. Also on stage Sunday will be Vancouverbased band Whiskey Jane, as well as North Vancouver’s A.J. Woodworth, and Delta’s own group, The Higgins.

Karen Lee Batten But what makes this event even more Langley-centric is its organizer. This concert was created and is being organized by Tara Kurtz, another Langley resident. “Attention all country music lovers, Country Rocks: Girls Edition is a brand new country music fundraiser for Variety,” Kurtz said, who is also a special events coordinator at Variety. She wanted to create a brand new fundraising event for Variety, and with her love of country music and connections in that world, it all came together. She is hoping Country Rocks: Girls Edition will raise about $10,000 for the cause, a non-profit organization that raises funds and distributes grants throughout B.C. to inspire hope, enrich lives, and build a better future for children who have special needs. Tickets for this concert are $27.50 and available online at www.clubzone.com, or in person at Boone, 801 Brunette Ave.

Stepping out of their comfort zone

Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance

Irving Berlin’s music spanned many decades and in Stepping Out With My Baby, students portray various eras. Marko Kundicevic (right) is Berlin. Also in the cast are (left to right) Cierra Walker, Aaron Chan (seated), Casey Barnes, and Sarah Harrington.

Drama teacher Kevin Fatkin wrote Steppin’ Out With My Baby, a tale told through Irving Berlin’s music. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

arko Kundicevic is the first to admit he didn’t know much about Irving Berlin before he was cast to play him in the Walnut Grove Secondary production Steppin’ Out With My Baby. Getting the part has become a quick tutorial in the man and more importantly his music. Berlin (1888-1989) wrote hundreds of songs over his 60-year career.

“To be honest, I didn’t know much about him before this show,” Kundicevic said. The Grade 12 student is now a card-carrying member of the Irving Berlin fan club. He’s come to realize that the songs are part of popular culture and people may be more familiar with them than they realize – thanks to titles like White Christmas, Puttin’ on the Ritz, Happy Holiday, or Heat Wave. Kundicevic has learned about the man and how he took the events of his life and poured them into song. He was touched to learn about the birth of his son and how it inspired Blue Skies and the death of Berlin’s wife which resulted in I Lost You. “It speaks to you, it speaks to your heart,” the high school student said. “They’re unforgettable.” The role in the WGSS production allows him a chance to continue his passion for performing. “This is my dream finally coming true,” he said he said of his staring role. Fatkin wrote the revue style show that incorporates some famous names from the era in which Berlin was writing his popular music. He used the music to propel the story. “As the writer of the dialogue, I have tried to impart some history so that cast and audience will appreciate Berlin in a new way,” he said. The kids quickly picked up the rhythm of the production. “There were perhaps two songs the kids had heard before, but I am pleased to see how they have learned the songs and perform then as if they were old favourites they have grown up with,” Fatkin noted. • More online at www.langleyadvance.com, click on ‘Entertainment’

Arts in brief

Ten roles available Art – visual and performance – are offered.

he Murrayville Players are looking for 10 people to fill roles for the upcoming production. Three of the roles are men with the rest being women. Ages range from teens to adults. Those who are picked will present the show Dirty Work at the Crossroads, a play with a dastardly villain, a beautiful heroine, a brave hero, and a country bumpkin. After reviewing various shows, the theatre company settled on this production which will be directed by Lorne Seifrid. There’s no prep work to be done before the auditions March 6 (2-4 p.m.) and March 8 (7-9 p.m.) at Langley United Church. It’s a cold read with the material supplied at the time of audition. People wanting more information can contact Kate Major at 604-514-0942 or ksmajor@shaw.ca.

What’s up, Doc?

Rabbits are usually portrayed as cute and cuddly but can also be timid, wise, and cautious, according to the traits ascribed through the Chinese zodiac.

he Pacific Theatre’s new production, Jesus Took the A Train, comes with a strong language warning. That’s no surprise as it is the tale of two men who are in solitary confinement for 23 hours per day. One has found God. The other struggles to find himself. One is a serial killer who awaits execution. The other is accused of a murder he doesn’t believe was a crime. Tackling this daunting tale by Stephen Adly Guirgis is Langley’s Angela Konrad. The chair of Trinity Western University’s theatre program is directing the show which runs March 11 to April 2 in downtown Vancouver. Konrad, has directed for Pacific Theatre before, taking charge of Emil Sher’s Mourning Dove, Arlene Hutton’s Last Train to Nibroc, and Marsha Norman’s Traveler in the Dark.

High school boys basketball

Provincials-bound Gators target Valley title Walnut Grove Secondary’s senior boys are playing at the top of their game. by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

White Rock Christian Academy’s Jake Newman dished the ball off while being guarded by Walnut Grove’s Charles Luu during a Fraser Valley Triple A boys playoff game Tuesday at Walnut Grove Secondary. The host Gators knocked off the Warriors 65-46.

It’s official: a local team will take part in the B.C. high school Triple A boys basketball championships. A pair of home-court victories earlier this week punched the Walnut Grove Gators’ ticket to the prestigious senior boys tourney, taking place March 15-19 at the Langley Events Centre. A 65-46 win over the White Rock Christian Academy Warriors Tuesday at Walnut Grove Secondary gave the Gators their coveted berth to the provincials. It also means they will finish no worse than fourth in the Fraser Valley tournament. At the final buzzer Tuesday, elated Walnut Grove players and fans fell into a massive dogpile at centre-court, reported Gators head coach George Bergen.

“It was like they won the Super Bowl or something,” Bergen said. “It was kind of a nice sight.” Against the Warriors, forward Larry Blyth led the Gators with 17 points. Guard Derek Muxworthy chipped in with 13 points while guard Sean Monsanto added 11 and played outstanding defence. Guard Charles Luu came off the bench to score nine points and play solidly on defense. The Walnut Grove boys set themselves up nicely by beating Clayton Heights 68-32 on Monday in their second Fraser Valley playoff game. Bergen said the Gators are rolling at a key time of the season. “We’ve been on a rage lately,” he said. “Beating White Rock by [nearly] 20 is something I wasn’t quite expecting. We’ve been playing hard-nosed, defensive basketball the past eight or 10 games.” The Gators’ offence is centred around Blyth, a 6’4” 210-pound senior who dominates under the basket.

He has a strong supporting cast on a deep Walnut Grove roster, Bergen said. “He [Blyth] is by far our most consistent and biggest threat,” Bergen said. “We have nice team chemistry. It’s about hard work where no one cares who gets the credit. That summarizes our success.” The Gators will go for a Fraser Valley title starting tonight (Friday) at Thomas Haney Secondary in Maple Ridge. Walnut Grove takes on W.J. Mouat in the Fraser Valley semifinal. Tip-off is 8 p.m. The winner advances to the championship game Saturday, 8 p.m. at Thomas Haney. The loser plays for third place at 6 p.m. Saturday. ••• The Brookswood Bobcats’ season ended after they fell 80-60 to host Tamanawis on Monday, and were beaten 67-51 by Fleetwood Tuesday. The losses eliminated the ’Cats from the Fraser Valley tournament and ended their season.

Bulldogs sweep sets up Chiefs/Eagles second round series

by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com

The ’Dogs are done; bring on the Eagles. Five days after the best-ofseven, British Columbia Hockey League playoff series involving the Langley Chiefs and Alberni Valley Bulldogs began, it’s over. The Chiefs completed a fourgame sweep of the Bulldogs with a dramatic 6-5 overtime victory

Tuesday at Weyerhaeuser Arena in Port Alberni. Chiefs rookie forward Josh Hansen scored the OT winner 9:37 into the extra frame. Off an Alberni Valley turnover, Hansen walked the puck out from the corner before roofing a backhand shot over Bulldogs goaltender Frank Slubowski. Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl was happy his team was able to take care of the Bulldogs early. “They are a team that we didn’t want to give any momentum to, because they can be very dangerous,” Smyl said. “[Winning in four] is an important part, no question.”

pitting the Chiefs against their arch-rival Surrey “They are a team Eagles, who dispatched that we didn’t the Coquitlam Express in four games in their opening want to give any round set. momentum to, Game one goes Tuesday because they can be at South Surrey Arena.

Keeping emotions in check may be easier said than done, considering the teams’ rivalry dates back to when the Chiefs played out of Chilliwack. “The rivalry’s really strong,” Smyl said. “There’s a lot of history there. The rinks are so close to each other.” Chiefs 6, Bulldogs 5 (OT) Langley led 5-3 with under seven minutes to go in the third period before goals from Alberni Valley’s Casey Bailey (on a powerplay) and Lars Hepso tied the game and forced overtime, setting the stage for Hansen’s series-ending OT winner. Smyl credited the Bulldogs for having a never-say-die attitude.

“They didn’t give up the whole series,” Smyl said. “Even when we were up 5-1 the night before, it was work work, work.” The teams were tied 2-2 after the first period, with Langley tallies coming from Brad McBride 2:01 into the game, and Matt Ius on a Chiefs’ man advantage. Chiefs’ captain Trevor Gerling and Ius scored to give the visitors a 4-3 lead after 40 minutes. Ius completed his hat trick at the 6:32 mark of the third period on another Chiefs powerplay. Even though he let in five goals, Chiefs goaltender Wyatt Galley made 46 saves, including 16 in the first period alone, as Langley was outshot 18-9 in the opening frame. Chiefs 5, Bulldogs 1 The Chiefs put their collective foot on the Bulldogs’ throats with a 5-1 win Monday at Weyerhaeuser Arena. The win gave the Chiefs a 3-0 series lead.

Bailey brought the Bulldogs to within a goal at the 6:14 mark of the second period. Goals from Mason Blacklock and Josh Myers, on a powerplay with 12 seconds to play in the middle period, made it 4-1 heading into the third. Neither team found the net through most of the final period, until Langley’s Brandon Scholten capped the game’s scoring on a man advantage with just 46 seconds remaining in regulation. Galley, who played all four playoff games so far, stopped 37 of 38 Bulldogs shots to earn the victory. ICE CHIPS: Ius (three goals, nine points), Gerling (three goals, six points), Myers, Thompson, and Tebbutt (five points each) led the Chiefs’ offence against Alberni Valley. During the second-round series, the Chiefs will try to keep Surrey forwards Bradley McGowan (four goals, nine points) and Richard Vanderhoek (six goals, eight points) in check. They lit up Coquitlam during the four-game Eagles sweep.

Russ Duncan 1925-2011

It is with tears and great memories we announce the passing of Russ Eve Duncan (nee Russell) who passed away on February 15th. Predeceased by husband John, brother Malcolm & Margarite, sister in law Margaret and niece Gail. Survived by brother Al (Torch); children Jim (Delee), Bruce (Kathleen) & Erin; grandchildren Eric, Spencer and John. Russ was born in North Vancouver. In 1932 the Russell family moved to Regina where they lived until Russ, in her early teens struck out on her own to Toronto. There in the 1940’s she worked for de Havilland building the Mosquito bomber. In 1945 Russ won the “Miss Models Model” contest, defeating over 3000 entrants. Her modeling career was launched and she moved to New York. It was there she discovered her lasting passion, dance. One of her regular dance partners was Ira Murray brother to the famous Arthur Murray. She returned to Vancouver as the house model for the Couture dept at the Hudson Bay Company where she met John. They married in 1954 and enjoyed all Vancouver’s blessings including water sports, skiing and camping. In 1956, they moved to Calgary, bought a restaurant and saw the birth of their sons, Jim and Bruce. They missed Vancouver, and came back for the birth of their daughter, Erin. Russ was involved with founding of the Sharks Swim Club, volunteered with Meals on Wheels and The United Church. Her real passion was the Dance Box which she started in 1972. She bought an old mail truck painted it hot pink, stocked it up and drove to dance studios across the lower mainland to fill the need for dance supplies. The Duncan TV room was changed into a store which overflowed to a shed, until the first “real” store on Austin Ave in Coquitlam was opened. The Langley store followed close behind, as she ran the business with her usual flair and spirit, while building a reputation as “the go to” person for Pointe Shoe fittings. She fit and took pictures of thousands of the ‘first pairs’. Russ’s first acting break came in her 70’s. She had parts in Cold Squad,Animal Miracles and many commercials. She was involved with the Cranberry Saucies Red Hat group which she loved, Russ was never one to miss wearing a fashionable (or not) chapeau. She golfed, white water rafted, snorkeled, made pottery, painted, swam, and loved to travel. Russ was a remarkable woman who lived her life to the fullest, right up to her very last days. She was a connoisseur of a good Martini and never missed a party. A celebration of her life will be held on her birthday April 17th 2011. Heartfelt thanks to Royal Columbian Hospital 5th floor South & North and Crossroads Hospice. In lieu of flowers a dance scholarship fund will be set up in her name. Donations can be sent to the Dance Box with scholarship fund noted or go have a good Martini. As the follow spot fades she slowly turns and walks away. The final curtain has come down. Bravo

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your career will be unpredictable and exciting for the next eight years. You get a lucky start, for your career is very favoured until June. So use the few months ahead to expand business, to seek a promotion, to display your talents to higher-ups, etc. In the years ahead, your career will feature (or be subject to) these themes: investment, other people’s assets, detective work, research, private arrangements, lifestyle changes – changes in general – high tech, humanitarian or group-oriented activities. Short range: go forward March and May. Save April for “former things.” Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The past 15 years have nudged you toward gullibility that ended in mistrust. You might have been tempted by alcohol, other people’s money, sexual longings, secrecy, etc. Life has been dreamlike, watery – cotton batting, not steel. That ends this week (not entirely, such a long trend will take time to dissolve completely). From here on, for eight years, your mind grows clear, alert. This clarity will end your doubt and suspicion. For the first time in many years, you are cleared to find and wed your true mate. Travel, legal, intellectual, publishing activities will also benefit. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: The past seven years have brought you clarity but stress in relationships. You’ve dealt with fascinating but unpredictable people, and your links have gone on and off like a light switch. That ends now: for eight years to come, this “unpredictability factor” will quiet down (but still exist in finances and sex). For 15 years, spirituality, depth, sometimes confusion but a growth-oriented confusion, enters relationships. If single, you are likely to fall in love in a completely different way. Investments, sexual desires begin to enter your thoughts midweek: act soon, not late March.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Your energy rises nicely Sunday/Monday, and some gratifying luck comes your way (Sunday) – but use this energy to deal with governments, to fulfill your obligations, and/or to remove restrictions. The remainder of this week, slow down, retreat, rest and contemplate. One of the most important, exhilarating, freeing, friendly and futureoriented periods of your life begins this week, for an eight-year run. You’ll live more eccentrically, you’ll have little fear, and no patience with conventions. You’ll act unpredictably, and attract some oddballs! Chase money midweek. Errands, Friday. Taurus April 20-May 20: Popularity, optimism, entertainment, light romance and a general joie de vivre fill your days! But retreat briefly Sunday/ Monday: rest, contemplate, be charitable – plan future actions. Your energy and charisma surge Tuesday to Thursday – start important projects (better Wednesday dawn onward). You relate well to males now, whatever your own sex. Chase money Friday on. This day technically begins eight years in which your private life will grow more lively, and your career will benefit from background connections, government involvements, administration and management techniques. Gemini May 21-June 20: The general emphasis lies on career, reputation, dealings with authorities and VIPs, parents and bosses (all of whom might display impatience, temperament, but will quickly “forgive” if you’re sincere). Walk proud, but show eagerness to please. Start things, seek responsibility, ask for a chance to prove yourself! Happiness and optimism, social joys and entertainment “touch you” Sunday/Monday. Retreat to rest, contemplate and plan Tuesday-Thursday. Your energy, charisma and luck surge Friday/Saturday: flirt or achieve! Eight years of exhilarating social life begins this month.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Sunday/Monday, to some degree, show you what to expect in relationships for the three months ahead. This whole month shows you what is ending in work, and what is beginning in work and relationships, for years to come. OK, that’s cryptic. For the next eight years, relationships become true, loving, laughing, friendly, stressful, unpredictable. If single, you’ll likely find your true love – or one of them. For 15 years (technically starting early April) you’ll find your “true vocation.” It might be in film, charity, spirituality, pharmacology. Gentle love, late week. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Tackle chores Sunday/ Monday. Fresh faces and opportunities arrive Tuesday to Thursday – love might be in the air! Large finances, secrets and sexual promptings stir you Thursday night to Saturday – be a little cautious, especially Friday night. Don’t take big risks. This week starts eight years of slightly erratic employment and health factors: your employment prospects will improve in any area associated with food or shelter; for good health, you’ll need to avoid stress. April begins 15 years of true love prospects – but they might come early, this week and next! Chase beauty, art. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: You’re tired, in a wee hibernation mode until March 20 – pamper yourself, don’t overwork. Romance, charming kids, pleasure and creativity make Sunday/Monday interesting. Tackle chores midweek. Relationships are bittersweet (or affectionate and snarling) Friday/Saturday. Be diplomatic on the home front all March. Soon (April, technically, though it might have started even in 2010) a 15-year trend of “normalization” will enter your domestic sphere. You’ll find your true home. This Friday begins eight years of exciting, unexpected romantic, creative lightning bolts!

Mar. 6 - Mar. 12 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Communications, paperwork, details, errands, casual friends, short trips and curiosity ﬁll this week and next. In the slowest, most gradual way, like water on blotting paper, this area of your life will grow for the next 15 years. At the same time (perhaps illogically) your worries about money and income will fade. You enter eight years of “home excitement” this week. This can have a negative effect, bringing more stress to the home (so relax, exercise, guard digestion) and a positive one: money made from property, food/shelter areas. A big new life! Midweek joy, romance. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Chase money this week and next. Don’t spend! A sea change is looming in your earnings area. For the next 15 years, your income will stabilize (despite your worries!) – in fact, you’ll hit the “central channel” of your life’s earnings trends. Your income will tend to expand in these (and similar areas): government, welfare, social work, hospitals, institutions, sympathy, ﬁlm, pharmacology, assembly lines, interest rates, oceans, sea food, gas/oil, hydrology.... This week begins eight years of friendly meetings, travel, communications – love starts to become possible! Rest midweek. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: From this week onward, the tension, excitement, nervous energy and restlessness of the past seven years will fade, to be replaced by 15 years of expanding consciousness, more sleep, more dreams, expanding spirituality. Nuance, poetic feelings, indescribable, subtle joys will become your everyday companions. Others will be inexplicably drawn to you. Rely more on your intuition, less on logic. You’ll see beyond the petty things of life. You’ll begin to wonder if money and power might be the wrong goals. But chase money Sunday! Travel midweek. Soak up nature Friday/Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
