Aldergrove Lake has been drained dry for the last time, Metro Vancouver Parks has decided. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The “lake” is officially gone from Aldergrove Lake Park. The Metro Vancouver Parks Committee and the Metro board voted unanimously not to re-open the swimming hole this summer. The final nail in the coffin was new health regulations that would have forced the park to get a Fraser Health permit this year, as the lake had been redefined as a public pool. There was no way the lake could have met requirements to get a permit, said Gayle

Martin, a Langley City councillor and chair of the Metro Vancouver Parks Committee. In fact, it would have to be redesigned, rebuilt, and relocated. “It’s a real drag to have to make this decision,” Martin said. Aldergrove Lake is a concrete-lined bowl that has been filled with water annually for 40 years. It was almost shut down last year, amid concerns over health issues and environmental concerns. Keeping the water healthy for swimmers requires chlorination, but water has spilled out of its bounds several times, and that poses a potential threat to the headwaters of nearby Pepin Brook, one of a few creeks and rivers that host populations of the endangered Nooksack dace. Then there’s the problem of getting water for the pool, which must come from local

wells. It almost ran out of water in 2009. “There’s no water to speak of,” Martin said. The shutdown comes in spite of last year’s decision, spearheaded by Township Councillor Mel Kositsky, to look into options for keeping the lake open. Even then, Kositsky pointed out, the lake was “on life support.” Other park facilities will not be affected. The washrooms, parking lots, and picnic areas will all remain open, Martin said. The sand beach is likely to remain this year. It’s not certain what will eventually replace the lake bottom. Public consultation on the future of the park will be held in June, Martin said. The next nearest swimming area in a Metro Vancouver park is Albert Dyck Park in Abbotsford.

The family of the women whose name will be on the new Yorkson school are touched by the decision.

by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The new school that will be constructed in Yorkson will be named after a woman who lost her battle with cancer in 2005 but not before years of dedication to the community. Lynn Fripps Elementary will be the name on the new school that will open in September 2012. “My daughters are asking to go,” said her sister Kelley Fripps Cheung. The naming choice was announced at the Langley School District board meeting Tuesday evening. “Ecstatic,” was the reaction of Lynn’s mother Lila Fripps-Heier. “And well deserved.” Fripps-Heier recalls that even as a child, Lynn showed determination. “When she was seven years old she was going to quit swimming, because she was getting too many butterflies in her stomach,” her mother said. Lynn’s parents encouraged her to try it for a bit more and she would wind up winning top prizes at the provincial level. “She had a very strong spirit,” Fripps-Heier said. That spirit would take her from longtime community involvement in Port Coquitlam out to Aldergrove. Lynn was with Peterson Road Elementary PAC for several years and worked on issues

When diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999, she turned her efforts against the disease, doing extensive fundraising for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation and the Canadian Cancer Society. She mentored others with the disease. She was also committed to her family’s community involvement, helping with her three sons’ soccer, ball hockey, swimming, art classes, and more. Lynn ran three companies, as well. A petition was signed by almost 100 students who knew Lynn and liked the idea of having a school named after her.

A decision to keep the intersection of 200th Street and Zero Avenue closed may yet be re-decided. Shawnan Hartmann, a 208th Street resident, called Langley Township council’s choice to keep the intersection closed an “extreme solution,” and called for a second look. Council voted earlier in March to keep the intersection closed, based on a petition from residents of the High Point housing development. Traditionally, 200th Street deadended about half a mile from Zero Avenue, stopping at an old gravel pit. When that pit was redeveloped as High Point, the intention had been to open the road once all the homes were built. The intersection is in place now, but has been blocked by concrete dividers to keep heavy trucks from rumbling through via Zero Avenue. Hartmann acknowledged the stretch of 200th Street through High Point is steep and winding, but said it is not dangerously so. She also said residents in High Point don’t, for the most part, live directly on 200th Street, but on adjacent culde-sacs. Mayor Rick Green expressed some concerns about fast, dangerous driving if 200th Street were opened all the way south, and he asked Township roads manager Paul Cordeiro about possible impacts. “It’s quite likely that the impact of opening up Zero Avenue to 200th Street may have some negative effects beyond 200th Street, on Zero Avenue as well,” Cordeiro said. Green worried about the potential for drivers to use Zero and 200th Street recklessly. “That road coming down from Zero would end up being a slalom course,” Green said. Councillor Kim Richter has made a notice of motion that will reopen the issue. Debate and a vote will be taken at a future meeting. While several roads provide access to Zero Avenue in the area, including 208th Street, most require several turns and zig-zags. The nearest direct route to Zero Avenue from 16th Avenue and points north is 216th Street, two miles to the east of 200th Street and High Point.

Oxycontin, gun found

Chief shop steward Kelly Dussin was handing out chocolates to most trustees when board member Steve Burton objected.

Prescription drugs, a loaded gun, and a wad of cash were found when Langley Mounties raided a home in the City last week. On March 23, officers with the Langley RCMP drug section arrived at a home in the 5500 block of 209th Street with a search warrant. Drugs including oxycontin, ativan, and zantex, were seized, along with several thousand dollars in cash. A semi-automatic handgun with a loaded magazine was found. A man and a woman, each 29 years old, were arrested, said Cpl. Holly Marks. The two suspects may face charges of unauthorized possession of a firearm and careless use of a firearm, Marks said. The investigation is ongoing.

Court

‘Chairman’ jailed by Kim Bolan

Postmedia Network Inc.

A man prosecutors described as “chairman of the board” of a multi-million dollar drug smuggling operation was given a five-year sentence in a Seattle courtroom Friday morning. Chief U.S. District Judge Robert Lasnik told Jody York, who has ties to Langley, the smuggling ring was “a major drug organization that had a terrible impact on lower British Columbia and this part of the U.S.… Your kids and other people’s kids are the ones that suffer when a community is riddled with violence the way Vancouver, B.C., is.” However, he credited York, 36, for leaving the violent drug gang before others were arrested in 2008. He said York would have been serving a much longer sentence if he had not surrendered himself to U.S. authorities. York, who has been associated with both the Hells Angels and Independent Soldiers gangs, told Lasnik his criminal connections have been exaggerated by police and the media. In 2008, an Otter-area property registered to a relative of York’s was shot up in a drive-by. His run-ins with Langley police date back to his late teens. His “managing director” in the drug ring, Edward “Skeeter” Russell got 4.5 years behind bars, three years of supervised release, and a $10,000 fine. Russell, who has both Canadian and American citizenship, told Lasnik he got roped in by the lure of money. “It was a great feeling. They are great guys,” he said of co-conspirators York and Rob Shannon. “You just don’t think of the hundreds of people you hurt along the way.” Prosecutors asserted the two men, allied with the Hells Angels, trafficked thousands of pounds of marijuana and cocaine across the U.S./Canada border. The marijuana was moved south in PVC pipes, hollowed-out logs, wood chips, and hidden compartments in tractor-trailer rigs. The leader of the conspiracy, Rob Shannon who operated a Fraser Valley trucking company with York, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in March 2009. Shannon, from Langley, and Abbotsford car dealer Devron Quast were arrested in June 2008, following a three-year undercover investigation and seizure of 1,700 pounds of cocaine, 7,000 pounds of BC Bud, and about $3.5 million. Quast, who testified at Shannon’s trial, was sentenced to more than six years in jail in July 2009. York and Russell were taken into custody immediately after their sentencing. “I did the hardest thing in the world yesterday – I had to say good-bye to my two kids,” York said as his wife wept in the gallery. Five other men associated with the drug ring were also sentenced Friday. Andrew Hall, 33, and Darren Hotner, 42, both from Abbotsford were both handed $5,000 fines, 120 hours community service and two years probation. Hall, who loaded the clandestine compartments in trucks and campers with drugs, told the court York and Shannon were his friends, and he provided manual labour only. Lasnik said he thought Hall was more deeply involved than he claimed, but was willing to take a chance on him. Hotner’s Abbotsford farm was used as a site to load and hide the marijuana before it was transported. Bryan Hanna, of Vancouver, received a year-long jail sentence, but was allowed to return to B.C. for a medical appointment related to some recent seizures. He told Lasnik he got lured in by the money, a total of $50,000, while working as a car salesman. Another Canadian, Frederick Davey, 63, was sentenced to one-year probation.

Thieves used a hot-wired excavator to steal a 10,000 litre fuel tank from an industrial property in Walnut Grove, police say. Langley RCMP were alerted to the theft on March 14, said Cpl. Holly Marks. The stolen excavator was driven into a compound in the 20100 block of 102B Avenue, and likely used to load the tank into a trailer. The tank is a white, Regal brand, about 10 feet long and four to five feet in diameter. The tank is worth between $8,000 and $10,00, and there was about $2,800 worth of diesel inside. Anyone who can help police with the investigation can call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477. CrimeStoppers can also be found online, including through Facebook.

Best party is a magical choice The Langley Advance does not normally endorse particular parties or candidates for public office. But on this, the first day of April, 2011, we are moved to give our endorsement to one party in the federal election. We speak of the Natural Law Party of Canada. There are a few hurdles to overcome before the Natural Law Party can sweep into Parliament and bring a new era to Canada. First, it no longer exists. In fact, it hasn’t existed as an official Canadian political party since 2003. Second, its most high-profile candidate, magician Doug Henning, sadly passed away 11 years ago. Third, many Canadians seem to think that a party based on meditation and yogic flying (also known as hopping up and down while sitting tailor-fashion) was “weird” or “crackpot.” But these are minor hurdles to overcome, and a party whose members can fly can surely bound over hurdles! In addition to endorsing the only party to ever promise world peace through meditation, we are calling on Canada’s TV networks to hold a real debate. We have all heard what the leaders of the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP and Bloc have to say. Many, many, many times. Let us hear instead from the parties with fresh, new (and not entirely insane) ideas. Turn over the debates to the marginalized parties, the Libertarians, the Marijuana Party, the Communists and Marxist-Leninists, the Pirate, Rhinoceros, and Western Block parties. Will we hear about the same old solutions to our problems from this group? No. Instead, we will hear wild, new ideas. And possibly see some fist fights, especially if the Communists are next to the Libertarians. Of course, if none of these things come to pass, we shall perhaps be forced to join the April Fool’s Party instead. – M.C.

Evolution just a minor issue

tion has already destroyed more of God’s creations than the rest of his evolution combined, and the next endangered species on his list is obviously going to be our own. Danny A. Halmo, Langley

Transparency in short supply

Dear Editor, The campaign the Tories have supplied us with thus far have issues with clarity and truth. First there’s a problem concerning the numbers they’ve given us. Their estimates on the cost of the Afghanistan mission so far have been repeatedly underestimated or under-reported, by as much as 10 times every year since they’ve gotten into power. Several studies showing cost overruns reported a continued lack of transparency, and even researcher David Perry, the former deputy director of Dalhousie’s Foreign Policy Studies declared, “The Liberals were much more transparent in the funding they were providing.” So one wonders how we can get a budget with clear goals and deficit reduction promises when no actual crime bill costs or military costs are reported accurately. Jeff Munroe, Walnut Grove [Note: Fuller versions of these letters and others on similar topics are online at www. langleyadvance.com.]

Evolution

Religion doesn’t guarantee caring

Dear Editor, Pim Schon [No reason to care without creator, March 25 Letters, Langley Advance] seems to have no faith that humans “have innate, evolved moral intuitions,” as suggested by Travis Erbacher [Poor arguments favour religion, March 22 Letters, Advance]. Instead, Pim seems to imply that one must believe in God to be a good person and to care about others: one who believes in God is by definition a good and selfless being, while one who believes in evolution is callous and selfish.

I wonder how one’s belief regarding the origin of mankind has anything to do with one’s character and moral standing. How does believing in God make one a good, selfless person, and how does believing in evolution make one a cold, heartless person? The fact is, it doesn’t. If something is stated in the Bible, does that make it inherently good? Is it wrong to murder because God said so, or did God say not to murder because it is wrong? Whether or not an action is right or wrong is independent of whether

Aldergrove

Thanks for borderline patrols

Dear Editor, I am glad to see that the RCMP (Revenue Canada Money Police) were out in full force watching out for those everdangerous line-jumpers at the Aldergrove Border. I am so glad that these bad people are so high on the priority list this summer. This will help me sleep at night, knowing that Aldergrove is so much safer. I have only one request: can they come to grocery store with me? There are some people bringing more than 12 items in the express lane. Equally dangerous. Keep up the good work. Scott McDonald, Aldergrove

Transportation

TransLink unrepresentative

Dear Editor, Get rid of Translink. It is an unelected group that is gouging taxpayers for gasoline, parking, and transit (which only serves a specific group). It should be abolished, and if there has to be a group to do the job, it should be elected and represent taxpayers. How much more do we have to take before we stand up and be counted?

or not it was stated in the Bible or any other such religious text. I, like many who do not believe in creationism, am perfectly capable of and carry forth acts of caring and generosity. While religion expresses many thoughts of wisdom and benevolence, they are not limited to the religious. Further, “survival of the fittest” does not mean that the fittest, in terms of those physically superior, will dominate. Herbert Spencer, who coined the term, and Charles Darwin, who also commonly used the term, instead meant that a species that is able to adapt to its immediate environment will continue to survive. The term is not an excuse for dominance of strong versus the weak. As for the implication that one who believes in evolution has no care for the effects of climate change, the opposite is actually true. Those who support evolution typically have a high regard for science. For the most part, the scientific community accepts that humans have contributed to climate change, and have a responsibility to try and fix it, or at least halt our contribution to it. Religious faith is not a prerequisite for being a kind and caring person, nor does evolution generate callous and selfish people. Kieran Harrison, Langley [Note: A fuller version of this letter and others on similar topics are online at www. langleyadvance.com.]

Dear Editor, Why has so much space been given lately to all this blah, blah about evolution vs. creation? We are facing much more important issues. We have a newly melted-down government. Because of the politics of politics, parties waste time bashing one another because their golden-goose government jobs are threatened. All that negative rhetoric diverts energy from relevant, important issues, such as the economic policies on free trade, restricting the export of natural resources and parasite immigration, but particularly the development of sustainable energy resources. We need heavy investment immediately into alternative sources, despite the up-front costs, because in evolutionary terms, we’ve already short-sold our grandchildren’s futures for one lousy hamburger today. I can’t stand the smell anymore of our capitalist-pig, politically driven, lazy, corrupt reliance on oil, foreign and domestic. Whoever wants my vote better start speaking about tidal, solar, and wind energy development grants, because evolution already provides for the few stupid birds that fly into propellers, just like it does for all the other critters road-killed every day, and will never stop us from driving.

Walnut Grove

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Coming soon, the Langley Sportsplex will be an even cooler place to be – especially if you’re into ice sports. By popular demand, the Walnut Grove sports facility is installing a third ice rink, which will replace its northeast dry floor, most commonly used for inline hockey. The extra ice rink will augment the two already in place at the west side of Sportsplex. Work is expected to begin July 1, and the third ice surface should be ready for use by mid-to-late October. “We’ve been looking at the demand for the ice over the past few years, and it seems to be increasing again,” Sportsplex general manager Bud Pope said. “The demand for the dry floor has decreased a little bit.” A third ice surface will open up room for minor hockey groups, Pope said. As well, the Langley Blades speedskating club and Langley Figure Skating Club regularly use Sportsplex ice for their training. Adding ice is an intensive project. The dry floor will be ripped up, the boards taken down, and under-floor heating and cooling system will be installed. New boards will be put up, and rubber flooring will be put in place, in preparation for the new ice. “It’ll be noisy here for a few days when they jackhammer that floor out,” Pope said. The move doesn’t signal the demise of inline hockey at the Sportsplex. Westcoast Roller Hockey will continue to run its adult and youth leagues on the remaining dry floor, and before work begins this summer, the spring leagues will go ahead on both dry surfaces.

“This change is going to make roller hockey more viable, long term,” Hill said. “Moving it to down to one rink is going to keep that rink full and viable for a long time. And obviously it’s good to keep the [Sportsplex] facility viable by keeping the other rink full, with ice.” As word circulates, Hill continues to field concerns from adult and youth players, and parents. “The initial reaction was, ‘Oh my goodness, what’s going Langley Advance files to happen to the league?’ Or, Westcoast Warriors 96 goaltender Ayden MacDonald ‘Is there still going to be roller prepared to stop a shot while defenceman Jordan Klimek hockey?’” Hill related. “We’ve moved in to help defend during the 2010 NARCh regional been reassuring them that we tournament at the Langley Sportsplex.

Antique buffs tell me there was standing room only at an auction marking the closure of the Cloverdale Antique Mall last weekend. I didn’t make it down, but I’m told some of those same Cloverdale tenants are resurfacing anew in Langley already. The weekend of Cloverdale’s farewell, Vincent Hayhurst and his partner Norma Devi quietly swung open the doors on

Standing room only the new Langley Antiques in the 20200 block of Fraser Highway. Located in a 2,800square-foot space previously occupied by Uniquely Green Consignments, this new store will also be made up of dealer booths – somewhat like Cloverdale. But it will be on a much, much smaller scale. Hayhurst tells me to expect about 10. “A lot of antique places are closing down, which is a shame… But the antique business is alive and well,” Hayhurst insisted. He and Devi, both from White Rock, were pondering opening an antique store somewhere in the South Fraser region for some time. The announced

closure of the Cloverdale Antique Mall, and threats the Red Barn will soon be gone, simply sped it up. The new antique mall opened Saturday, and will host a grand opening in about a month, giving Hayhurst and Devi a chance to work out kinks. “We’re not expecting the doors to be pushed down the first day,” Hayhurst said. But he feels the central location is going to be key to success with dropins. In the meantime, construction continues on their website, too (www.langleyantiques.com), which he predicts will also account for a large part of the biz. I know I’ll be down to take a look at the new mall in short order.

Lead singer James Blackmon (right) sang pop rock with heart, while his brother Andrew Blackmon (left) played the drums and handled the band’s pre-recorded vocals and music, as well as the light show. The trio said they’ll be mixing and mingling with the crowd and throwing in some things they learned from playing a Luvngrace-Redworld fashion show in Vancouver. “It’s making sure people are involved. It’s not like you’re going to watch Norah Jones play piano,” Willoughby raised Armstrong said. They’re excited about the upcoming concert – calling it a mini-homecoming. “We’re going to show [Langley] what we’re all about,” noted James, who grew up with his brother in Murrayville. “People will recognize us from our previous bands. We’ve all been involved in Langley.” A shared love of four-on-the-floor dance beats brought the trio together after several years of playing in different groups.

“A lot of our ability to hit the ground running comes from our experiences… it was a lot of time figuring things out in the early stages so we could get to points where we’d be more professional-minded,” Andrew said. “Having no guarantee that it’s going to work is one of the most difficult things as well, but also it’s going to drive you,” James said. “I’d rather be a poor musician than a rich businessman.” “This is our profession. This is our passion. But this is also our job. We’re willing to treat our passion like our job as well. That means being willing to put in eight hours of your day into your passion and into your band,” he said. In September 2010 the band released a four song EP and played to 50 people in the upper room of the Langley Vineyard venue.

“We nailed it,” James said about the live performance. The buzz created from the show locked them into the Peak’s concert tour and back into the Venue – this time on the main stage. Armstrong said once people see them live they want to see them again and again. Andrew said the Langley show would leap-frog them towards their next concert in Kelowna on April 22. And after that, who knows. “The sky’s the limit,” he said. Cruel Young Heart, Bend Sinister, and The Kodiak Nightlife’s all-ages show is Saturday, April 9, 8 p.m. at The Venue, 5708 Glover Rd. Tickets are $10 in advance (available through http://www.myspace.com/cruelyoungheart) or $12 at the door.

ruel Young Heart possess anything but. Recently when the Langley pop rock trio discovered their practice space had been double booked, they gave it up to another performer who required it for a singing lesson. It’s that attitude – or lack of it – that’s brought Mark Armstrong, James Blackmon, and James’ brother Andrew to where they are now. Though only together for a year and a half, Cruel Young Heart found itself a part of Peak FM’s West Coast Pop concert series tour in February. Now they’re coming home, specifically to Langley City’s the Venue (Langley Vineyard), for an all ages show, with Bend Sinister and The Kodiak Nightlife on April 9. The band plays live upbeat, dance-y, pop rock along the lines of Metric and the Killers with loop-based computer backing tracks, lead singer James said. “It’s pop rock with heart,” he added. Twenty-six-year-old James sings and also plays synthesizer. Armstrong, 21, plays lead guitar and synthesizer and provides backing vocals. Andrew, 24, drives the beat on drums and runs the band’s “nerve centre” – the backing tracks and light show. The guys hope to bring their arena-sized rock stage presence to the Venue’s intimate performing space. “It’s about bringing that big experience,” James said. “With larger stage shows like U2 or Coldplay you have hundreds of people doing lighting and sound and ground crew and pyrotechnics. We’re going to bring that to a smaller show. We’re going to bring out a few things that you wouldn’t expect from a band that’s only been around for a year and a half,” he said. “It’s going to be a roller-coaster,” he added.

Creating just the right outfit

Nicole Burt works behind the scenes as costume designer for A Murder for Crows. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

full dress rehearsal Monday makes that judgement day for Nicole Burt. That’s when director Lynne Karey-McKenna will decide if the costume selections Burt made for Surrey Little Theatre’s upcoming production of A Murder of Crows are right, or not. Burt, a 30-year-old Langley City resident and theatre and visual arts graduate, is the costume designer for the upcoming production. She describes

the next few days before April 7’s opening curtain as the climax for her. “Now, I hope, it’s just the last minute finicky details,” Burt told the Langley Advance. If all goes well Monday night, then her work is basically done. Unlike the actors, whose work is just ramping up, Burt gets to kick back and enjoy the show. She’s excited, noting it ends about two solid months of volunteer labour for her on this project. This is Burt’s second time as costume designer on a play for Surrey, but the stay-at-home mom has also taken charge of costumes for three productions for Langley Players. While one might not expect costuming for A Murder of Crows to be dif-

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.

ficult, since it’s set in the mid to late 1980s, Burt said it proved to be more of a challenge than expected. Fortunately, she said, it didn’t mean a lot of sewing, but rather shopping. The entire cast of the play took a day to scour thrift shops and raiding SLT members’ closet for suitable wardrobes. A Murder of Crows runs April 7 to May 7 at Surrey Little Theatre, 7027184th St in Clayton Heights.

Arts in brief

Langley doesn’t lack for musical shows this week

by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com On Saturday, music lovers can enjoy an evening of entertainment courtesy of Kwantlen Polytechnic University staff. Paolo Bortolussi (flute), Calvin Dyck (violin), and Jane Hayes (piano) are internationally known concert artists who will offer a concert called Musical Offerings (Bach, Schubert, Doppler, Beethoven, and Debussy). The free show is in conjunction with the Langley Community Music School and begins at 7:30 p.m. in the Rose Gellert Hall, 4899 207th St.

The musicians are also offering master classes Saturday afternoon at LCMS. These are open to the public.

Jazzed about music Aldergrove Secondary School has scored a musical coup for its Spring Concerts. The two nights of music kicks off at 7 p.m. April 5 with the concert band and concert choir doing a wide variety of musical styles. Tickets are $5. Night two on April 6 is all about jazz and features guest performance by the Al Matheson Nonet (nine-piece). Matheson teaches at Vancouver Community College and UBC. They are performing pieces from Birth of the Cool, the seminal 1957 Miles Davis’

album, as well as other numbers after the students perform. Tickets are $10 for April 6. Contact the school to reserve tickets (604856-2521, ext. 250).

Listen up Trinity Western University has music for any taste coming up. Jazz night is April 6 in the school’s Instrumental Hall starting at 7:30 p.m. The Jazz Combo and Vocal Jazz Ensemble present an evening of jazz as part of the TWU Festival of the Arts, Media and Culture. The eight-piece combo will start in the 1920s with Whispering and cover nine decades of music. On April 8 at the Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church (and the next night at

Abbotsford’s Peace Lutheran Church) the TWU concert band and orchestra perform their Spring Concert. This spring the TWU Concert Band and Orchestra go west for two evenings of music inspired by the American plains. Aaron Copland’s Rodeo and Billy the Kid incorporate cowboy songs and folk tunes while John Williams’s score to The Cowboys evokes both the joy of riding the range and the loneliness of life on the vast prairies. For both performances, people can contact Shayna Leenstra to find out more information or to arrange tickets. She can be reached at 604-513-2173 or Shayna. Leenstra@twu.ca. Admission to the jazz evening and the concert/orchestra events is by donation (minimum suggested is $5).

High-profile trainers team up Ellenwood to run Track and field

for Simon Fraser

Keeping hockey players in peak condition is Mike Thompson’s and Tyler Jackson’s business.

It was important for the Langley Mustangs track and field member to stay in Canada.

by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com

Two notable entities in Langley’s sports conditioning universe have joined forces. Mike Thompson of Tommyfit and Tyler Jackson of Jackson Strength & Conditioning have teamed up to train high level minor, junior, and pro hockey players. “We’re partners in hockey,” said Thompson, Tommyfit owner and hockey specific trainer. Jackson, 32, has a hockey background and continues to be an active mixed martial arts fighter and trainer – he’s trained a number of MMA fighters, most notably five-time world jiu-jitsu champion Bibiano Fernandes. He has also trained baseball players, including two high-profile locals. Jackson has worked with Toronto Blue Jays prospect and Brookswood resident Brett Lawrie (who was drafted in the first round, 16th overall by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2008 MLB draft), and former Langley Blaze star and Texas Rangers 2010 first round draft pick Kellin Deglan. Prior to taking up MMA, Jackson played four years of junior hockey before hanging up his skates. Over those four years, he said he was a “suitcase” in the British Columbia Hockey League, Rocky Mountain Junior Hockey League, as well as in the junior B ranks. Thompson, 49, has been training pro and junior hockey players in the Langley area since 1996, and has more than 27 years experience in the areas of hockey fitness and coaching. Jackson and Thompson have known each other for close to 15 years. “I met Tyler was he was 16,” Thompson said. “He worked for Twin Rinks fitness when I was a manager there. Tyler expressed that he was going to go to school and he’s now a kinesiologist. We’ve been kind of competing against each other, and so

Sports trainers and business partners Mike Thompson and Tyler Jackson at Revolution Gym in Langley. now we’ve decided to become partners.” Thompson said, since Jackson is “really current with his training, and I’m really good at sales, we thought it would be a great partnership.” “I think Tyler’s the best trainer in the Lower Mainland, for anything,” Thompson added. Jackson said when it comes making an athlete’s body functional, sports training is essentially the same “But the closer you get to a fight, or to in-season [ice hockey] training, the more you have to mimic the sport,” Jackson said, regarding the difference between working with MMA fighters and hockey players. “The closer you get, the more diverse the two sports get.” The focus of Jackson’s and Thompson’s partnership is hockey. “Everything that Mike does that’s non-hockey related, everything that I do that’s non-hockey related, they’re separate entities, but when it comes to training hockey players, I know that Mike’s got the best on-ice program, and I feel I have the best office program, so it just made sense that we team up,” Jackson said. Among the high profile players they plan to train during the off-season are

Aldergrove native Brad Thiessen, a netminder with the American Hockey League’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, highly touted Seattle Thunderbirds defenceman Brenden Dillon, Edmonton Oilers prospect and Edmonton Oil Kings winger Cam Abney, and Portland Winterhawks defenceman Tyler Wotherspoon. Jackson and Thompson aren’t limiting their training to professionals. The plan is to help younger players at the grassroots level. Jackson designed a dryland program for peewee-aged (11- and 12-year-old) players. “These guys can prepare their bodies at a young age so that they’re not going to get injured and they’re performing at their best, and they can develop that base of athleticism,” Jackson said. Having an athletic base, Thompson said, shifts the balance of power between players in the heat of a oneon-one puck battle: “It’s the difference between making it or not making it. You can put two guys together who are the same calibre, and the guy who is in better shape is going to win the battle.” For more on the business venture, email info@tommyfit.ca or info@ jacksonstrengthandconditioning.com.

Langley Mustang and Langley Secondary Grade 12 track and field athlete Stuart Ellenwood is off and running to Simon Fraser University. Ellenwood was excited to accept an offer from what he considers to be a highly regarded school, headed by SFU track coach and Canadian Olympian Brit Townsend. He will specialize in the 400-metre and 800-metre runs and will join the Clan for their inaugural season competing in the NCAA. “I’m so happy that they approached me. SFU was my first choice because it was important to me to be able to stay in Canada and compete at the highest level,” Ellenwood said. “With Langley Advance files SFU being in Stuart Ellenwood, pictured running for the NCAA now, I can train and Langley Secondary at the 2009 Fraser compete with Valley track and field championships, some of the best has accepted an a scholarship with Simon track and field Fraser University and will join the Clan athletes in North this coming September. America.” Ellenwood will continue to train this summer with the Mustangs under longtime coaches Kim Chapdelaine and Dwayne Lotnick, and will start with SFU in September. Chapdelaine and Lotnick are thrilled that their work has paid off with a scholarship for Ellenwood. They agree Ellenwood has worked very hard and are proud he is going to what they consider to be a “great program” at Simon Fraser.

Langley’s Eddie Hicks is currently in decompress mode these days, after recently completing two gruelling tours of freestyle ski duty. “Skiing Noram tour and World Cup tour is something most athletes in our sport try to avoid for a pretty understandable reason – it’s so much travel, stress, and time,” Hicks said. The season wrapped up last weekend with the Canadian national championships in Val St. Come, Quebec. This was the first time in Hicks’ career where national championships couldn’t improve his results and therefore, there was a lack of pressure he was not entirely used to. “That being said, we’re also the best country in the world in our sport and it’s a pretty big accomplishment in the intangible sense to win nationals because of that,” Hicks said. After 2010 Olympic gold medalist Alex Bilodeau withdrew because of injury, Hicks knew he had a very good chance of winning the singles event. So, while he was standing at the bottom of the run with Canada’s strength and conditioning coach, Hicks predicted the day’s outcome. “You know, Mik [Mikael Kingsbury] is kind of the only guy who can beat me if I really ski my

to beat him next year, though? Absolutely.” In duals, more was on the line, because Hicks skied to second in 2010 and wanted to either match or improve on that result. The course build in Val St. Come didn’t cooperate, as dirt underneath eroded with the fall rain. Hicks skied to what he called a “disappointing fourth place in duals but one of my favorite personal victories of the season, to come back and be one of three guys who skied a run in the skiers’ right line that day and actually make the score close.” ••• Hicks now has a month off before taking part in a rigorous fitness camp that starts up in May. “It may come as quite a surprise… but even after such a huge season, I am eager to get back to training,” Hicks said. “Am I happy with my season? Yeah, sure, I did some pretty good stuff. But I got a good look at what I’m capable of and I know I’m not far now from a season I might be really happy with.” Hicks said he can’t wait to get back to work. “Most all of my goals for this season were accomplished, but as one gets checked off, a new one replaces it and it will take exponentially more work to accomplish, so bring on the gym, the bike, the hiking jumps, the water ramping, the tedious technical work, and the long days that involve all of them,” Hicks said.

The

Eddie Hicks’s season came to an close at the Canadian championships in Quebec.

Tom Drysdale passed away peacefully on March 26, 2011 after a brave battle with cancer. He is survived by his loving wife Sharron, his grateful children Dean and Shelley, and his grandchildren Ross, France-Victoria, Lutece-Britany, and Amy, who didn’t have him in their lives nearly long enough. Tom was a heavy duty mechanic who worked most of his career in excavation and demolition. His motto was “We like the hard jobs”. He took down buildings and bridges and helped make way for much of what we now see in Vancouver. Tom worked hard and with enthusiasm right up to the end. He loved life and took great satisfaction in making his mark each and every day. He will be missed. A celebration of his life will be held for family and friends at 11:30 am on April 9th, 2011 at The Copper Room - Newlands Golf & Country Club, 21025 48th Avenue, Langley, BC (604) 533-3288.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Your energy, charisma and clout reach a yearly high. I didn’t add “effectiveness” because we’re in the middle of a Mercury retro period, a bad time to start anything new (lasting to April 23). Even so, your luck is strongly buoyant, and the “payoff” for past efforts or good deeds could arrive now (or anytime to early June). If you’re single, someone is attracted! Your charisma and energy are doubly strong Sunday/ Monday – “lightning strikes!” Realize that you have to co-operate with a powerful, somewhat sluggish, but perhaps elevated individual. Grab the money Tuesday. A lucky week! Taurus April 20-May 20: Government agencies or “head office” steer your possibilities Sunday/Monday. Go with the flow. New circumstances, new trends are entering your private world – now to 2019. You might soon be working with or attending a large corporation or institution. Don’t be fazed by this – you have the skills required. If stress builds, learn to relax, play golf, yoga, whatever. Fifteen years of career worry ends; 15 years of “wide friendships” begins. Rest, lie low Sunday/Monday. Something lucky brews beneath the surface or behind the scenes before Thursday. Chase money Thursday onward. Gemini May 21-June 20: Wishes come true, especially Sunday, especially old wishes. Romance, or a flirty friendship, or happiness of another sort seems imminent – so does fulfilment around a legal, far travel, international or intellectual matter. But be realistic, cautious also – a “go slow” signal exists. Could mean “watch what you wish for,” or it might hint that wishes are fulfilled, but in a quiet or sober way. Your popularity is rising, friendly romance occurs, new friends come, especially Thursday onward. Optimism soars! (Retreat, rest Monday eve to midweek.) Fifteen years of “true career” begins.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Be ambitious, this week and the next two. You could grab a promotion, or elevate your worth in the eyes of higher-ups (or cultivate a VIP and gain a prestigious new client, contract or business opening, etc.). This week starts with a jolt (of luck or nerves or ambition) Sunday. You’ll have to combine or merge competing situations to succeed – probably a need to reconcile home with career, gain your spouse’s or kids’ co-operation, etc. The potential for success is tremendous, so make every effort! This week begins 15 years of true understanding, spiritual recognition, and, resulting, true love. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: You’ve suffered 15 years of gullibility, deception, disillusionment and suspicion. (On the positive side, 15 years of spiritual awakening.) This week marks the end of that – though such long trends tend to dissolve slowly, now is the turn-around time. Think, contemplate the broad picture, and you should sense some clues to this change. The next 15 years bring a heightened sense of poetic mystery and nuance, sexual longing, deep spiritual intuition and subtle glamour – a better influence! The next eight years also feature mental awareness, and true love – wedded love. Sunday reveals! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Sunday’s the centre point of a huge life change. The actual events can have occurred in March, or can happen over the weeks ahead. But they centre on this day, and this week. The events: a financial rearrangement or debt, a sexual lust or liaison, a commitment, a lifestyle change, a health diagnosis or surgery, a piece of detective work or research project. It’s destined to change your life. You’ll have to overcome financial “slowness” or caution. Believe in your luck! Be ambitious late week. Fifteen years of unhealthy relationships end: 15 years of “true relationship” begins.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing new before April 23. Look to the past or to ongoing ventures, relationships. Your success is inextricably tied to relationships, and/or to opportunities, relocation, litigation, negotiation, fame or the public. Sunday can bring a jolt in these – e.g., love at ﬁrst sight – but without the infatuation, gooey-eyed stuff – this is alert, exciting, alive, realistic. Downplay your conservative, reluctant, skeptical or cautious side. (If someone says, “You look sad,” it’s a clue to brighten up!) Love “elevates” late week. Your employment picture changes now to 2025. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Something unexpected happens at work this week, especially Sunday. Follow safety procedures, don’t work while tired, be patient, careful with electricity, machines and computers, or avoid them if you can. I’ve emphasized the dangers, but there’s also luck here: you might be called into work because someone didn’t show, or you’re the trouble-shooter in an emergency, etc., which can set you up for praise, promotion now or soon. Be good-natured! Fifteen years of love’s obsessive puzzlement ends; 15 years of love’s good sweetness begins. You’ll believe me, come June/July and 2012! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Sunday could provide a love shock. It’s illuminating. But it will only be lucky if you can balance impulse with caution (without letting caution win) and money or earnings considerations (or possessions) with your need to express yourself, to be yourself. (Sartre said we’re the slave of our possessions.) All that said, this is a hugely lucky week (and month, and quarter) for romance, children, creativity, school, travel, beauty, art and speculation! Opportunities arise Thursday/ Friday. Fifteen years of indecision, rootlessness end; 15 years of “deep home” begin.

604.581.2161

Apr. 3 - April 9 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Start nothing new before April 23. A jolt might come to your domestic or property arena Sunday. (This day is merely the centre of two months of “jolt.”) Be careful with electricity around the house this day. On another level, events can jump-start you into a whole decade of new (money-earning) property dealings, new landscaping, new security initiatives (e.g., RSPs) – despite the word “new” your success now will come from reprising a past goal, condition or contact. Believe in life, buy a home! Fifteen years of money anxiety end; 15 years of “chatty” friendship begin. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: You might make a lively new friend this week. This person will not become a life-mate (or not a good one) but you can have lots of fun together. (The problem: a sadness or sombre streak in this person is a clue indicating their ability/tendency to restrict you or to connect too easily to your hidden side.) Despite this, real love is likely. Don’t start any new projects, especially in communications, paperwork or travel, before April 23. Your luck will come from past contacts, and it could be very bright luck! Be restful midweek. Romance, creative surges Thursday onward. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Start nothing new before April 23: deal with past or ongoing projects and relationships. A money, income or possession situation could hold three things (all of some): great luck, career import and “the future” of your earnings (for eight years).This last is highlighted Sunday, when a “jolt” might accompany it. If you can get past a certain skepticism about your own work or your own goals, this jolt could represent a splendid new path in earnings. (This path likely represents working with management or in government, large bureaucracies, charities or institutions.) A lucky week! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Tribe taught at a public high school in the coastal fishing village for a couple of years. In Japan, many schools are built on hills because of the threat of earthquake and resulting tsunami. “My school survived [the earthquake] because it was on a hill,” she explained. The school in the community of 70,000 now houses homeless families who have lost everything in the disaster. About 51,000 of the residents were forced from their homes. “It was pretty intense to see the pictures of where I biked, where I walked, where I ate,” Tribe said. “I taught most of the high school students in the town.” The older Japanese students mostly survived the disasters. “It was graduation ceremony that day,” so many of the high school students were still at school.

But the younger population has been wiped out. Younger students had gone home from school and were in lower-lying areas. Tribe said many parents had come to pick them up, and the vehicles were inundated by the tsunami. “One third of the city was under water,” she said. Water reached up to the fixtures on street lights. Tribe’s experiences have provided Simonds Elementary students a way to understand the widespread devastation on a personal level and a connection to a place on the other side of the globe. Some of the students have already pitched the idea of approaching neighbours as they work to sell scarves, and order forms are being sent out through the school community as part of the fundraiser. Any member of the public who would like to buy a scarf can contact the school at 604-530-2361.
