Cab driver robbed

At about 5 a.m. on March 23, a cab driver picked up a Maple Ridge man in Langley, who then forced him to hand over all of his cash on hand. The cab driver was then forced to drive to Maple Ridge, where the suspect once again coerced the driver to take money out of his own personal bank account and hand over that money. The driver let his passenger out of the taxi just before 6 a.m on Dewdney Trunk Road, near Fletcher Street. Police arrested a suspect on April 3, and he was held in custody until April 8. • More online

Images from the Langley candidates Facebook and Twitter accounts and websites show a diversity of tactics in use to reach out to voters online during the federal campaign.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A decade ago, the internet was still an afterthought for political campaigners. Five years ago, Facebook was still just for college kids. Now, between Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and YouTube, there are more options than ever for political candidates to get their message out. Candidates were using social media in various ways before the campaign began. “I’ve always been a Facebook user,” said Carey Poitras, the Green candidate. With very little money available from her relatively small party, Poitras thinks that about half her campaign strategy will be web-based. Her experience using Facebook for personal reasons helped her set up a political site quickly. She’s also jumped into Twitter for the first time. Building a base of people who follow her has been the most difficult thing so far. Incumbent Conservative candidate Mark Warawa has been building his base of Twitter followers for two years. However, his hand was forced when it came to getting an account. He got involved with Twitter because there was a fake Mark Warawa account set up two and a half year ago “and was saying very inappropriate things,” Warawa said. “I realized I had to get involved with it,” he said. This Wednesday at 4 p.m., Warawa will host a half-hour live tweeting session, answering in real time questions sent to him. Reaching out to new and younger voters is something both Poitras and Liberal candidate Rebecca Darnell want to do through social media. Since starting avid tweeting at the start of the campaign, Darnell said she’s gotten a lot of feedback online. “I’m getting lots and lots of contacts, volunteers, people with things to say, good, bad, or indifferent,” she said. Some of them are people who wouldn’t have called a candidate or come out to a rally or debate, she said. Piotr Majkowski of the NDP said he repurposed his personal Facebook site into his campaign site. It’s been a handy tool to connect with people and to get them out to events, he said. The Langley Advance looked at how each candidate is using Facebook and Twitter, two of the most popular social networking sites. Facebook: • Craig Nobbs, Pirate Party. Nobbs Facebook account (www.facebook.

com/ProudlyCanadian) has high privacy settings that allow only friends to view most of the content. • Carey Poitras, Green Party. (www.facebook.com/CareyPoitras) has a frequentlyupdated wall, and links to both her website and the Green national site. Info easily available includes links to local environmental cleanup events, Elizabeth May interviews, and party policies. • Piotr Majkowski, NDP. Majkowski has 935 friends listed Monday. The site has a host of links to other pages, such as party leader Jack Layton’s. • Rebecca Darnell, Liberal. Darnell’s site isn’t the main clearing house for her campaign news. While there is an announcement of her candidacy and a link to her main site, there is little other election-related news. Darnell has 1,598 Facebook friends. Twitter: Four of the five Langley candidates maintain active accounts on Twitter, a micro-blogging service that allows users to post messages of 140 characters or fewer. ‘• Warawa’s twitter account (@M_markwarawa) has the most followers of any local

candidate, at 606 as of Monday morning. Along with links to Conservative Party announcements, it recently included a handy guide to saying the candidate’s name. “Some have difficulty with pronouncing my name,” Warawa tweeted. “Warawa rhymes with Ottawa…” Tweets in 72 hours: Four • Darnell (@RebeccaDarnell) has the second largest number of followers, with 233 as of Monday morning. However, she had more tweets than any other local candidate over the weekend, and included links to upcoming events, and numbers to phone to volunteer. “Feeling the love from the residents of Langley! Having a blast on this campaign trail!” she tweeted Monday morning. Tweets in 72 hours: 15, plus several retweets. • Majkowski is not tweeting. • Poitras’s account (@CareyannPoitras) included quite a few links about party leader Elizabeth May’s efforts to get into national debates. However, she had just 12 followers as of Monday. Tweets in 72 hours: nine, plus several retweets. • Nobbs’ account (@CraigNobbs) has only a little activity in the last week. Nobbs sent a sarcastic tweet to Prime Minister Stephen Harper recently. “@ pmharper Taking away the political party subsidies is an effective way to stifle democracy. But I’m guessing that you already knew that.” Tweets in 72 hours: 0

Crown prosecutors said Kyle Llewellyn Barber’s girlfriend will provide key testimony in their case against the two alleged Red Scorpions associates accused of killing him. Barber, 24, was stabbed to death on March 28, 2009 during an attack at the Langley home he shared with his common-law girlfriend. Albert Jacob Jackman, 24, and Gregory Michael Barrett, 32, are charged with first-degree murder and manslaughter, respectively. Their trial began Monday in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. In his opening statement to Justice Sunni Stromberg-Stein, Crown prosecutor Jordan Hauschildt said Barber’s girlfriend witnessed the entire attack on Barber and will testify about what happened after two men – one short and one tall – arrived at their home at 224th Street and Fraser Highway two years ago. Hauschildt alleged that the short man was Jackman and the tall one Barrett. The couple had just gone to bed when the woman heard a truck in the driveway. She looked out the window and saw two men she didn’t recognize. She and Barber went to the door to talk to the visitors. Hauschildt said Jackman talked to the woman about a break-in at her neighbour’s. When she said she remembered seeing something, Jackman pushed his

way into the house, with Barrett behind him. It’s expected that the woman will testify that Jackman interrogated Barber and accused the couple of being involved in the break-in. “She then knew something was terribly wrong,” Hauschildt said. Barber ran into the bedroom with Jackman in pursuit. When Barber’s girlfriend arrived in the room she saw Jackman choking Barber. She got her registered shotgun from under the bed but Barrett knocked it away and held on to the woman. Hauschildt said the woman is expected to testify that she saw Jackman show Barber part of his arm and say, “See that? That’s Red Scorpions right there.” The woman offered Jackman marijuana and money and denied that she and Barber were involved. At one point the woman saw Jackman pick up a pair of scissors and punch Barber multiple times, bloodying his face. Later Jackman took a knife from a dresser in the bedroom and punched Barber as he tried to run away. After Jackman and Barrett left, the woman called 911. Barber was alive when police arrived but died later at the hospital. Hauschildt said that after the altercation Barrett went to his friends’ house to lend them his truck. He said the friends will testify that they saw blood on Barrett’s shoes and sweater and in his truck. Hauschildt said they will say that Barrett told them he’d seen Jackman stab a man. The trial continues.

Neither Worksafe BC – which looks after the safety of employees – nor Fraser Health have rules or regulations for playgrounds or commercially operated play areas. “I want to make sure it doesn’t happen to somebody else,” Kate said. She would like to see regulations changed to improve safety. Kate said she’s spoken to the manager at the Langley Go Bananas since the incident, and was offered an apology that she feels was sincere. However, she doesn’t plan to go back. Vilio said that he may make some changes. “We are considering getting them [employees] to take first aid training,” he said. However, he noted that first aid attendants aren’t at monkey bars in public parks or at fast food restaurants that have jungle gyms and indoor play areas. Own is recovering, but still can’t put any weight on his foot without the cast on. “The day before, he bought a new pair of soccer shoes,” Kate said.

Owen Muzyka is a little frustrated that there will be no sports in his immediate future. “This is the first time I’ve broken a bone,” said Owen, a Grade 6 student and avid badminton and soccer player. Owen took an awkward tumble on a trampoline at Go Bananas, an indoor play centre on Langley’s Willowbrook Drive. He was there for a birthday party for his seven-year-old sister. With his foot in an inflatable cast for at least a month while a bone heals, it means no Surrey United spring soccer, and no trying out for his school’s track team. His mother has other concerns. Kate Muzyka said she was surprised to find out that staff at indoor play areas aren’t required to have any first aid training. What happened after Owen fell is disputed. His parents and Owen say they asked for an ice pack but were ignored for some time, while Go Bananas owner Steve Vilio said they were offered one but turned it down at first. But Vilio admits that while the play areas have first aid kits, staff are not trained in first aid. “It is not required,” Vilio said. Staff have clear instructions on what to do when a child is seriously hurt, he said. “Our policy for staff is, if anybody gets hurt, call 911,” he said. Over the past 13 years, there have only been about four injuries involving broken bones at the four Go Bananas locations in the Lower Mainland, Vilio said. In this case, he said, it was thought that Owen had just sprained his ankle. After the injury, Owen’s dad took him to hospital and got his son fixed up with the cast. Now Kate is concerned, having investigated and discovered that there are no requirements for anyone at such a busi-

New team will organize 2011 Canada Day festivities Canada Day celebrations will get new blood and new energy as organizers change. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Organizers of Langley International Festival (LIF) have diversified their portfolio. The LIF board has taken over the added responsibility of organizing Langley Canada Day, effective this year. Similarities in the two Langley events made this new marriage obvious for Shar Dubas, LIF’s executive director. “The previous committee from Canada Day came to us late last year, early this year, and asked us if we’d like to take over management of Canada Day,” she explained. “They saw that we have a terrific, very strong board of directors. They could have asked numerous groups from within the Langleys, but I think they were impressed by us... I take that as a huge compliment.” So after a few months of discussion and what Dubas called due diligence – having lawyers and accountants examine the once-flailing Canada Day infrastructure – it was found the society was in good standing and thought to be a perfect fit with LIF.

The plan is to keep the Canada Day society intact, with overall governance being taken over by the 22-member LIF board, and organization of the Canada Day festivities being headed up by six of the LIF directors – with the assistance of a large stable of existing LIF and Canada Day volunteers. Only one board member and a handful of other volunteers from the former Canada Day regime have, so far, committed to stick it out to see the transfer of management for the two-day annual event to new board, said former Canada Day president Vince McKay. Others might still come forward, as the event date approaches. “I’m very impressed with the calibre of people who are coming forward to assist,” Dubas added. “It just seems like there’s a whole new energy there.” And according to McKay, that’s exactly what Canada Day needed: New blood, new energy. Relinquishing responsibility for Langley Canada Day was not an easy decision, or one made because of burn out or upset, McKay clarified. It’s just time to bring in some new blood, he added. “It’s been a fantastic run,” McKay elaborated, noting he’s personally been on the board for eight years, the last six as chair of the event. Like other devoted board members and

volunteers, he wants to see the event grow and prosper. But it needs to be without the same old team, he said. An event of this magnitude takes a lot of time and effort, and he’s personally anxious to regain his summers for family time. While the plan is to keep Canada Day similar on almost all fronts for 2011, Dubas – who is stepping in as a director and advisor for the new LIF Canada Day committee – said there will undoubtedly be some behind the scenes changes that can come by blending organization of two large events. For instance, she hopes to see some cost savings when it comes to booking different aspects for two annual shows, versus just one. “There was a lot of discussion about

whether we should pull it together as one event or have two separate events at one location, or keep the status quo. The decision was to keep status quo for each,” Dubas said. “Everything is status quo for both events this year,” she reiterated. “It’s like double duty. It’s like ‘holy moly’, but we think it’s a good move.” LIF is a two-day event held the last weekend of August, at Willoughby Park (next to the Langley Events Centre) that focuses on bringing people from varying ethnic backgrounds to display their traditions and cultures through performing, visual arts, ethnic food, and attire. While this is a relatively new event in this community’s history – heading into its 11th year, the Langley Canada Day is a little older. It’s been going for 16 consecutive years, starting first at the Langley Regional Airport and a few years back moving to McLeod Athletic Park. It too is a two-day event, held the day before Canada Day (June 30) and July 1, to celebrate the nation’s birthday. This event, last year, attracted about 50,000 people to the park over the two days and has been growing steadily, explained McKay. It has become one of the biggest Canada Day festivities in the Lower Mainland.

Education

WorkSafe BC agrees with staff who refused to work at Topham Elementary over safety concerns. Tied up in the issue is six-year-old Hunter Patterson, who has autism and who cannot return to school for an indefinite period while the Langley School District figures out how to handle the situation. Early last week the Pattersons were told he could not attend class after staff refused to work and a WorkSafe BC investigation had begun. Walnut Grove mom Tina Patterson spoke to the Langley Advance last week about her son’s education being in limbo, critical about not being able to get answers from the school and district about what has happened to prompt his ouster. WorkSafe BC was contacted by a worker at the school on April 4. It initiated an investigation and has made its inspection report public. “Since September 2010 the employer has reported 16 physical and/or threatening incidents that have occurred between students and workers,” the report said. WorkSafe blocked out many pieces of information in the report, including the identities of the workers, the identities of any students cited, and how many of those 16 incidents involve the boy. “I find it shocking that there have been 16 incidents,” before WorkSafe was notified, Tina Patterson said. She noted that despite that many incidents, the families involved were

The inspection report related to last week’s investigation at Topham Elementary has been released and is included with this story at www. langleyadvance.com. not informed. The Pattersons are launching an appeal of the WorkSafe findings and submitting a freedom of information application to get the full access to their son’s files. “Where are Hunter’s rights in this, in terms of verying those incidents, as a minor,” she said. The WorkSafe report is critical of how situations were handled. The district has a Crisis Response Plan in the Student Safety Plan, where a specific Crisis Prevention Intervention (CPI) Protocol is to be followed by workers. “However, workers have not been specifically trained in this protocol and the related emergency response,” the report said. “Three workers exercised their right to refuse unsafe work and since all three workers have not received training in the Crisis Response Plan Protocol,

Power knocked out by storm by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A sudden windstorm Sunday night knocked down tree branches and left more than 3,000 Langley homes without power for several hours. The power failure extended as

far west as 208th Street and out to approximately 232nd Street, and as far south as 16th Avenue in some areas. The power was knocked out in the evening and was restored in most areas by 1 a.m. on Monday, according to BC Hydro. A tree had fallen on power lines.

the three workers have been exposed to an undue hazard.” The report also noted that putting students in the principal’s office during a crisis has been inappropriate and does not provide “an adequate safe area for the student and workers during a crisis incident to minimize the risk of injury to workers.” The Langley School District has looked at the report, said Craig Spence, the district communications manager. “We will be acting on it,” he said. Langley Teachers’ Association president Susan Fonseca said that unfortunately, this situation shows that teachers are not receiving enough training to deal with special needs students, workplace safety issues and risk assessment. Most teachers are not required to take special needs courses when obtaining their education degrees. Resource teachers, who must have masters degrees, do receive training in special needs education. Fonseca added that the union is currently grieving class size and composition issues because so many classes have three or more students with special needs or exceed the size limits. She noted that the Langley district, with far fewer students, has twice as many classes with too many students or excessive special needs numbers compared to the Burnaby district. In November, LTA home economics and shop teachers spoke to the board about their concerns over class size and safety. The board took no action. The Patterson family had contacted various government offices, including the Education Minister and Langley MLA Mary Polak, before speaking to the Advance. Polak’s office forwarded all messages and correspondence to Fort Langley-MLA Rich Coleman’s office. MP Mark Warawa’s office returned the family’s phone call and said that education is a provincial responsibility but it would encourage the MLA to look into the situation. Patterson emailed the Advance after the article to say the family has received an outpouring of support. “Your article has brought together many families with special needs children to communicate issues that they are facing in the public schools,” she said.

Try live a little This week is a national event – one that has a dramatic impact on every community across the country. Indeed, this week’s focus is something that defines the concept of community for many people. This is National Volunteer Week, to honour volunteers, and raise awareness of what volunteers do for their communities. The officials who have set aside the week recently calculated the volunteer commitment across Canada: six and a half million. At first, it’s hard to believe that one in every five Canadians is tallied on the volunteers’ side of the ledger. But when you think of all the volunteer efforts right here in Langley, it becomes difficult to believe the number could be so small. Think about it. What is a volunteer? According to Webster, a volunteer is “a person who enters or offers to enter into service of his own free will.” In other words, a volunteer is a person who provides a service for free, like a kids’ soccer team’s coach, for instance. Or somebody who knocks on doors for the Kidney Foundation. Or the people who get together and do something – almost anything – to raise money for the Cancer Society. Or how about the fellow who stops to help out, without expectation of payment, when your car leaves you stranded on the side of the road? It’s a cliche that it is difficult to imagine how we could get through life without volunteers. But surely, for the vast majority of us anyway, it would be just as difficult to get through an entire lifetime without being a volunteer. In fact, if you haven’t been a volunteer, you haven’t been living. It’s time you changed your style and joined up with the rest of humanity. – B.G.

Decision 2011

Family more than a nice word

Dear Editor, The word “family” has a nice, soft sound and emotes a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling, the realization of which has caught fire with both federal and provincial politicians. It has become the benchmark for speeches promising great, gigantic strides in

wealth, health, and lower taxes. “Family” also includes sharks, crocodiles, and other dangerous species that can bite. This group is known as the “caucus.” “Fancy” is imagination in its lower form, and is much more applicable to

Decision 2011

Ignatieff unknown quantity

Dear Editor, We have a man running in the next election who has come to Canada after 34 years of working in the United States. What can he really know about the Canadian people when he hasn’t lived here? I have read some of his articles, and they are all “me, myself, and I.” He thinks a lot about himself. If he really cared about the Canadian taxpayer, he would not have called another election, the fourth in seven years. These elections cost over $300 million. We are now paying nearly $50 billion just for the interest on the debt, yet I haven’t heard a word about lowering it. Personally, I can’t trust him. I think he is power hungry and just wants to try and get the huge, tax-free government pension, and then go back to the States and spend it there. He has not contributed to the Canadian economy, so why should we vote for him? B. Burgess, Langley

the attitude politicians have in mind for the “suckers” – oops – taxpayers, because it coalesces with their complete disregard for facts. Instead of promising us the moon and HST, neither of which we need, why can’t they formulate an honest practical plan that works for everyone? The elderly and the physically and mentally handicapped spring to mind, as well as families struggling to keep afloat in a sea of unnecessary taxes. “Forgetfulness” is another word our sanctimonious servants do not admit. So many scandals, whitewashing, and unfinished, important matters have been shunned or swept away. Winning seats on the gravy train, or as we know it, Parliament, is the thrust of any action or inaction by those we entrust to protect our interests, and we who pay dearly both in hardearned money and poor service are the losers. Lorne Hardy, Langley

Township council

Gang of 6 lacks concern for voters Dear Editor, I trust that Mr. Fox – a charter member of the “Gang of 6” – followed his and Mr. Bateman’s own guidelines and obtained permission from the whole of council before asking staff to provide summaries of salaries and expenses of all of council. For an elected councillor or mayor to be effective, some significant expenses are necessary and justified. The Gang of 6 acts without any concern for constituents’ wishes. Like the slate of John Scholtens’s day, they do what they want and freely and arrogantly tell the voters what is

good for them. They could care less about what the voters really want. What we want is fair, democratic representation, responsible spending, and

no tax increases during fiscal hard times. Bob Moats, Langley [Note: A fuller version of this letter is online at www. langleyadvance.com.]

Township council

Voters must oust toxic leader

Dear Editor, Third-party opinions point to an issue with the mayor of the Township of Langley being disinterested in the opinions or thoughts that other council members. Many of candidate Rick Green’s promises made in 2008 have not materialized. “Toxic Leaders” some-

times rise to power, leaving a group in worse condition than how he found it. Toxic leaders like Mayor Green do not change their spots. It’s up to voters to change them. Joe Zaccaria, Walnut Grove [Note: A fuller version of this letter is online at www. langleyadvance.com.]

Today he’s a model student, gentle as a lamb, volunteering to help refugees in Africa. He made the honours list last fall, and is on track to graduate next year and head off to college. There have been no behaviour incidents since Grade 3, and he now attends most classes with no aide support. Like Hunter, my son will always face the challenges of autism.

Dear Editor, Former children and family affairs minister Mary Polak cancelled all B.C.’s Early Intensive Behavioural Intervention (EIBI) programs for preschoolers with autism. A series of education ministers, starting with Christy Clark, have forced Langley and other boards to lay off hundreds of teachers, specialists, and aides, to compensate for provincial underfunding as education costs continually outpace funding levels. No one should be surprised at more children entering school with severe behaviour challenges and fewer staff able to cope with them. The problem will only get worse. Hunter [Six-year-old ousted from Topham, April 8, Langley Advance] and his peers will soon be adults, and then we may be dealing with 250-pound men fuelled by a lifetime of rage and frustration. A decade ago, I had a six-year-old just like Hunter. Thanks to provincially-funded

Suicidal man saved from making fatal leap

Ridge Meadows RCMP are praising their officers for averting a tragedy on the Golden Ears Bridge.

the speed of vehicles on Golden Ears Way at about 7 p.m., when one citizen, who was travelling northbound, stopped to tell them of a man who appeared to be climbing up the barrier, and that he may be going to jump off. The officers immediately made their way to the middle of the bridge where they encountered what police called an “emotionally distraught man.” After engaging the man for about 20 minutes in a negotiation, police were able to reassure

He was then taken to hospital for evaluation, and his family was contacted. “If not for the quick actions by our members, this may not have had a positive outcome,” said RCMP Cpl. Dale Somerville. “The man had personal issues, and quite likely could have harmed himself.” Ridge Meadows RCMP’s Traffic Services, with assistance from members of the RCMP Lower Mainland District’s Police Dog

Services, Emergency Response Team Aerial Rescue Team, and Negotiators, all attended to the scene. “All of our officers, in particular Const. Mike Moore, did a commendable job in calming [the man], and ensuring he was going to get proper care,” said Somerville. “This fully illustrates how police can interact with emotionally disturbed people, with the intent of helping them.” The man is now getting psychiatric help.

Global TV travel expert Claire Newell is one of the judges for the Langley Has Talent semifinals coming up this Saturday. The talent contest by the Rotary clubs of Langley, Langley Sunrise, Langley Central and Aldergrove is to raise funds for a performing arts venue in Langley. They are hosting the semi-finals April 16 at the Christian Life Assembly church. Newell will be joined on the panel by Lisa Lloyd, a talent agent and “Langley’s own rock and roll legend” Howie Vickberg, who used to be a member of The Collectors, which later became Chilliwack. In addition to the judges, the audience has a say in which of the 29 acts move on to the finals April 30. “We have a ballot in every program, giving every paid customer a chance to vote,” explained Peter Luongo, on the organizing committee. The 15 acts picked for the finals will be based on a combined vote from the judges and the audience. And people have quite an array from which to choose, including a ballerina, solo dancers, dance groups, solo singers, musicians, a country band, two rock bands and more. “I think our youngest competitor is 11… and our oldest is 71,” Luongo said The votes will be tabulated and the finalists notified by email. Then the list of finalists will be posted to www.langleyhastalent.com on Sunday morning, April 17. That’s also where people can get tickets for the semifinals and finals. April 16 tickets are $15 and the show begins at 6:30 p.m.

Northern Exposure T V ’s h i t s h ow G lee is giving o ur teens s o m e t h i n g t o sing a b o ut. words Tom Zillich

ou wanna talk glee? Perry Ehrlich was positively giddy the moment his ShowStoppers choir hit the opening riff of Journey’s ubiquitous hit, Don’t Stop Believin’, at a Christmas party, and watched as a thousand delirious tech-company employees screamed along with the uplifting high notes. Sure, the song’s been massive since acid wash, but there was something in the air that December night during the set’s final number, something totally Glee-ful. “It was so magical, such a feel-good moment,” recalls Ehrlich, the choir’s high-energy director and, in his daytime hours, a lawyer at a Richmond firm. “Somehow, you could really tell people were into it because they knew the song from Glee.” Nobody really saw it coming, but Glee, the hit American TV musical comedy-drama show set in a high school, is credited for making choral singing and choreographed moves cool and popular again, and some local ensembles are riding the wave. The thing is, ShowStoppers first made a splash with the sounds of Motown and more contemporary pop hits 11 years ago, all under Ehrlich’s watch. Natalie Hall performed with the show choir during her teen years, shuttling from the North Shore to Richmond for ShowStoppers and also doing a couple dozen hours of dance and singing lessons each week. “For me, it was in that awkward stage in high school,” the cheery blonde told Look. “It was very similar to the whole Glee world on TV, where you’re just trying to figure out who you are and you’re not very popular but you have this common bond with all these people — a love and passion for singing and theatre.” Today, Hall shines in a co-starring role on daytime soap All My Children, and credits her experience with ShowStoppers for pushing her in the performing arts direction, career-wise. “She was with us for about six or seven years,” Ehrlich recalls, “and was so enormously talented but humble, sweet and kind. She’s the kid you’d hope would be successful, just because she’s so lovely.” Hall was based in New York and touring with a production of A Chorus Line when she got the call to do AMC in Los Angeles, so she moved there and struck up friendships with some of the Glee gang, including Victoria-raised Cory Monteith, who plays jock-turned-singer Finn Hudson, and Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester), whom she met in the off-Broadway world of theatre.

The main floor of the Cosmedic Corner Beauty headquarters in Langley City offered jewelry, clothing, accessories, and Sweet LeiLani Cosmetics.

Sweet success

A Langley City beauty boutique offers a unique alternative to plastic surgery.

eiLani Kopp never set out to change the world – just a part of it. Eighteen years ago, the film industry makeup artist was a young parent looking to occupy time in between her movie and television work. She took to volunteering with cancer patients and burn survivors at Vancouver General Hospital, hoping her professional background might prove beneficial to patients needing cosmetics that work for burns and hair loss. She had the technical skills, but the makeup she owned from various productions she worked on was full of chemicals. She needed a solution. What she developed was suited for sensitive skin – fragrance-free and containing no petroleum, mineral oil, lanolin, caster oil, parabens, or gluten. Kopp developed her own product. Her cosmetics have never been tested on animals. The foundation she developed was waterproof and sweat-proof, and had a nonchemical sunscreen and candela wax base for uneven skin surfaces. Kopp used her products and expertise in the industry to provide free corrective camouflage makeup services to those in need. “It was my way to use my craft to help people,” she said. Sweet LeiLani, the company that grew out of that original concept, now occupies 2,800 square feet in Langley City. The Cosmedic Corner at Sweet LeiLani contains a full treatment room, a salon, a clothing boutique, and Kopp’s fragrance- and chemicalfree Sweet LeiLani cosmetic line. Her Sweet LeiLani mascaras, blush, foundations, finishing powder, and eye and lip shades are sold in Save-On stores and Pharmasaves throughout B.C., and she’s built a reputation for herself among people seeking alternatives to plastic surgery. Kopp still gives free treatments to burn survivors and cancer patients, and provides assistance to accident victims and those with lupus. The Cosmedic Corner provides skin needling services, re-pigmentation, and collagen induction therapy.

LeiLani Kopp, owner of the Cosmedic Corner and Sweet LeiLani Cosmetics. Skin needling involves making microscopic punctures in the topmost layer of the skin, with fine-pointed needles – tattooing without ink, Kopp explained. It activates the skin’s natural wound-healing process, tricking the brain into increasing collagen production and elastin for skin regeneration to specific areas, she said. It’s ideally suited for anti-aging to plump fine lines and wrinkles, Kopp said, adding that it works well for deep acne marks, cleft lips, and stretch marks. Scar re-pigmentation or corrective pigment tattooing can be used for skin discoloration caused by disease, vitilego, or alopecia. Kopp has had clients sent to her by plastic surgeons. She’s been doing paramedical tattooing for 10 years and paramedical corrective makeup for 18. She’s worked with burn survivors and cancer patients and others who have needed her help, and has performed eyebrow and lip line restorations. She has also worked on cleft lips, and has done areola reconstructions for women who have undergone mastectomy. Her corrective makeup techniques are used to conceal severe post-surgical bruising, scarring, birthmarks, rosacea, burns, and tattoos. “It’s not just makeup, it’s therapy,” she said. Kopp is still pursuing her passion, and helping others. The products and services she sells helps fund her continued efforts for those who need it most. The Cosmedic Corner Beauty Headquarters for Sweet Leilani Colour Cosmeceuticals is located at Unit #1, 6280 202nd St. They are open Tuesday to Saturday, 10-5:00 p.m.

and dizzyingly diverse. Who knew a cover of Etta James could sound so good next to a hushed version of Metallica’s metal anthem Nothing Else Matters, followed by a French lullaby and a Polynesian bird-worshipping chant? Hear for yourself when the group performs its 10th-anniversary concert this spring at Vancouver Playhouse (watch for news at www.aliqua.com). When Aliqua started out as a post-high-school group with roots at West Vancouver Secondary, they resisted using the word “choir” to describe what they did, fearing negative reaction to such “nerdy” music. But Glee has changed the game somewhat. In a room at Roundhouse Community Centre in Vancouver, a dozen older teens and young adults are stretching to the music of Justin Timberlake’s Rock Your Body to warm up. Soon everyone is oohing, aahing, and buzzing their lips in synch with scales played on piano by Sara Zacharias. Most of the singers in this new (and still unnamed) auditioned show choir know Zacharias from her recent Glee Camp, musical-instruction sessions launched in the summer of 2010. In boot camp style, they rehearse and record choreographed versions of hit songs – a taste of that Glee life.

Zacharias, a longtime musician who lives in East Van and teaches vocal lessons, is taking things a step further with an auditioned show choir with more emphasis on singing than choreographed moves. Early into rehearsals at the Roundhouse, Zacharias instructs the group to sing solo and group versions of Cee Lo Green’s Forget You, a lyrically dirty number cleansed for the purposes of this fledgling show choir. “I love that song – just so much attitude!” raved choir member Stephanie Appels, sporting a Glee-graphic sweatshirt.

She is, Zacharias noted, a dancer who “practically lives for” singing with the choir and an adult “Gleeks” group. At Richmond’s South Arm Community Centre, Sunday evenings are special for Ehrlich’s 20-member, gender-equal ShowStoppers group. “I turn myself into a pretzel to find performance opportunities for the choir,” said Ehrlich. “These are talented kids, you betcha. I’m lucky, because there’s not much turnover [in ShowStoppers]. They have to be committed, because we do 20 shows a year, and I choose them carefully, with that mix of talent but also grounded.” There is a shift happening in the group, however, as some members are due to graduate from school and move out of the area for higher education, Ehrlich said. A door is open with Zacharias’s group, too, though she’s already working with some young people who are vocally blessed. “It’s so much fun right now, with the camps and the choir,” she said, “and it’s obvious the kids are loving the experience.” Yes, they’re positively gleeful.

…continued from LOOK front “It’s just crazy how their lives have all changed,” Hall marvelled, “and they all deserve it because they’re talented and very nice people.” Despite the TV show’s popularity and cultural impact over the past two seasons, not everyone on the Metro Vancouver choral scene is so enamoured of Glee, including Ehlrich, who tunes in only every so often. “It’s fun,” he said of the show, “but sometimes it becomes a little inane. What I do with ShowStoppers has been called cheesy, but our choir isn’t nearly as cheesy as what’s on that show.” For the uninitiated, hour-long Glee episodes mix stories involving embattled groups of jocks, cheerleaders, and glee-club singers with two or three show-stopping choral songs done with clever choreography – mostly reworked pop songs. Erin Bishop doesn’t watch Glee much, either – a bit surprising, given her work with the eight-woman choral group Aliqua. “I’m just not a huge TV watcher,” said Bishop, who has handled most of Aliqua’s business since its inception a decade ago. “The show is actually depressing for a cappella pop groups, especially in the States, where there’s a stronger tradition of that, because the music on Glee is obviously pre-recorded and mixed and perfectly performed, so well produced, and it’s impossible to replicate that in concert. When I go to pick up sheet music at Long & McQuade, there are Glee songbooks everywhere, so you know there’s a million choirs doing these songs, but they’ll never sound as good as they do on the show. But yeah, the arrangements are cool – really good.” Aliqua’s music is cleverly arranged, too,

Gymnasts flip, summersault, jump, and fly at LEC

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

The Langley Events Centre was the site of the 2011 Canadian Linen & Uniform Service BC Gymnastics Championships Friday to Sunday (April 8-10). The championships included more than 800 artistic and trampoline and tumbling gymnasts from across the province. During the competition, 70 provincial champions were crowned. Athletes, coaches, and officials filled the playing surface of the event centre’s arena bowl (above) on Saturday for the artistic portion of the event. Abby Strand (bottom left) from Langley Gymnastics Foundation (LGF) had a spring in her step during her floor routine. LGF’s Heather Owen (bottom middle) went upside down as she dismounted from the beam. Sarah Kerr (right) from Flip City Gymnastics got in some air time while practising on trampoline.

Looking back…

1981: Gloucester in and out of ALR

Langley’s history, as recorded in the files of the Langley Advance.

Seventy Years Ago

Fifty Years Ago

• Langley’s drive for $1,250 for the War Services Fund reached $2,000, and was expected to double the quota. Sixty Years Ago

• Two Langley students were awarded the Inter-Faculty Debating trophy at the University of British Columbia. Thomas Andrew Black and Irena Olejnik represented the Faculty of Agriculture in the debating competition. Forty Years Ago

the Fort really needed the water. • Tenders were called for an extension to Langley Township’s Zone 6 (Murrayville) Fire Hall. • Alderman Joe Breier reported that there were 18 fewer “unemployed employables” on the Township’s welfare rolls in March that in February, and the unemployment rate was down to 9.49 per cent from 9.82 per cent.

APRIL 13, 1961

APRIL 12, 1951

• Langley Prairie’s fact-ﬁnding committee on possible incorporation of the area, separate from the rest of Langley Municipality, met Tuesday night in the ofﬁce of Joe Gibson’s Auction Barns. Its decision was to proceed immediately towards incorporation as a city.

APRIL 15, 1971

• Bringing water service to all of Fort Langley was expected to cost $500,000. The Township’s public works department recommended that “no further action” be taken on the project until it could be demonstrated that

Thirty Years Ago

APRIL 15, 1981

• The B.C. Court of Appeals ordered removal of Gloucester Properties’ proposed industrial park

of marijuana, with a total street value estimated at $46,000. The raid also netted an additional $25,000 in cash.

lands in North Aldergrove from the Agricultural Land Reserve. The land’s removal had ﬁrst been denied by the Agricultural Land Commission. The ALC was overruled by the Social Credit government cabinet (sitting as the Environmental Land Use Committee), which brought a storm of public protest, and ELUC relented, ordering the land back into the ALR. Subsequently, the B.C. Supreme Court had upheld the cabinet decision, but now the Appeals Court ruled that the cabinet did not have the power to reinstate land exempted from the ALR, although it did have the right to reserve the land in another way. • A police raid on a Langley home uncovered 12 pounds of hashish and 11 pounds

Twenty Years Ago

APRIL 10, 1991

• Langley MLA announced she wouldn’t be seeking the Social Credit leadership, but would support Rita Johnson, appointed interim premier in the wake of Premier Bill Vander Zalm’s resignation. • A 4-2 vote of school trustees quashed the mandatory retirement age (65 years) for school board employees. • City staff were instructed to remove any election signs – federal, provincial, or civic – on City road allowances and public property within the City’s limits.

Ten Years Ago

APRIL 10, 2001

• Retired principal and prolific volunteer Rick Buck was named Langley Township’s Eric Flowerdew Volunteer of the Year. The Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth award went to Lindsay Bisschop. • Nurses at Langley Lodge went on strike for more money and lighter workload, while the strike stalling Lower Mainland buses continued unabated.

APRIL 13, 2001

• After ﬁrst being reluctant to discuss its plans for the land in and around the 200th Street freeway interchange, Township council stall its decision on plans for rebuilding the intersection.

You don’t have to go to Paris to experience a bit of Parisian life in Langley. The Little White House in Fort Langley is owner Cheryl Krecsy’s homage to all things French. The bright white exterior and soothing neutral interiors exude a softer style of living. The Little White House offers home décor, clothing, linen, furnishings, lighting, gifts and vintage treasures inspired by and acquired from France. Owner Cheryl and daughter Natasha have created a unique combination of Parisian style and home comforts. The Little White House offers a Parisian-styled café and pastry shop – the Salon Café – where ladies and couples can gather for coffee, tea, crepes and comfort foods. Sit inside the former coach house cum dining room for soups, salads and sandwiches or savor the various confectionary delights chef Sandra Staal’s created. Outside, in the Secret Garden, there’s space for weddings, graduations or soaking up the sun. It’s all part of the ambience at the Little White House. While on vacation in Paris, Krecsy drew inspiration for opening her business. The graduate of New York’s School of Interior Design fell in love with the City of Light, buying an apartment in its historic Montmarte district soon after arriving. From her Paris experience, she took the city’s culture, combining it with her Manitoban Mennonite family heritage to give the Little White House high end style at affordable prices. “It’s classic styling with prices comparable to Winners and Homesense,” she said. Krecsy frequently goes back to Paris for buying trips, locating unique items people don’t expect to find elsewhere. She’s inspired by her Paris neighbourhood’s slower pace of life as well – likening it to the pace of life in Fort Langley. There’s a fruit stand on every corner and it isn’t focused on perfection she said. The Little White House occupies a 101-year-old Fort Langley heritage home painted in its original white colours – a familiar sight for Krecsy whose grandmothers’ house in Manitoba was painted the same colour. Brilliant interiors and fresh neutral finishings complement the various room design accents. Housewares are where you’d expect them to be – kitchenware in the kitchen, bedroom linen and decor in the bedroom, bathroom items such as towels and soaps in the bathroom and chandeliers hung from ceilings for sale throughout the home. Besides apparel from Paris and London, Krecsy also carries Parkhurst clothing from Canada and aprons made locally in Fort Langley. Decorative headboards and other home decor mix the modern with the old, something Krecsy has drawn from for most of her design. She originally painted her furnishings white out of necessity – it was her frugal prairie upbringing combined with a lack of funds. Now, coupled with her extensive design and travel experience, Krecsy’s heritage has provided the Little White House with esthetics for an enjoyable Parisian city oasis in the country. The Little White House is located in Fort Langley at 9090 Glover Rd. To find out more visit online at http://www.littlewhitehousefort.com/ or phone the Little White House at 604-888-8386.
