Emergency response
Evening fire chars Willoughby townhouses
Firefighters are still looking for the cause of a balcony fire that damaged three townhomes. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A mysterious fire damaged three townhouses in Langley’s Willoughby neighbourhood Tuesday night. The fire started just before 8 p.m. on the back deck of one of the homes, in the 8200 block of 209B Street, bordering Lynn Fripps Elementary. The fire crawled up the outside wall and started getting into the attic of the first building, and then began moving laterally, causing damage to two other buildings in the row of townhouses, according to the Township’s assistant fire chief Pat Walker.
Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance
A fire on a second-storey balcony damaged three homes in Willoughby on Tuesday night. Sprinklers created a water curtain so the fire never really got into the dwelling space of any of the homes, and crews quickly knocked it down. Three fire crews responded to the blaze.
Although three units were damaged, they are all repairable, Walker said. The cause of the fire remains unknown, however. The residents of the home where the fire started had just
come back from a vacation and don’t smoke, so there doesn’t seem to have been much on the balcony that could have sparked a fire. There was a propane barbecue, but that’s been ruled out as the source of the fire, and the wiring is all new and up to code. Although the buildings in the row of homes can be repaired, there are some significant losses for the residents. Of those affected, two out of three didn’t have contents insurance for their homes, said Walker. It was the second mysterious fire since the weekend. On Saturday, a fire in the 25000 block of 59th Avenue destroyed an outbuilding, with flames shooting through the roof by the time fire crews arrived at about 8:30 p.m., said Walker. The cause remains undetermined, and the electrical wiring in the building seems to have been okay, Walker said.

Township council stalls over parking and secondary suites A big new housing project got a tentative approval after a debate about secondary suites. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A major new development planned for Willoughby caused a lot of debate about parking at Langley Township council’s Monday meeting. A 25.6 acre collection of properties, between 82nd and 84th Avenues and on both sides of a yet-to-
be-built section of 204th Street. The collection of properties to be developed by Qualico is missing one property in the 20400 block. “This particular property looks like a hockey player with one tooth out,” noted Councillor Charlie Fox. He noted that, with a missing property, it usually means half-sized streets are created until the last owner sells for development, a situation seen in several other areas where one lot is developed and a neighbouring one remains rural. As land in Willoughby
develops, new roads are built, but each property owner is responsible for building their side of the street only. The major cause for discussion was talk of secondary suites and parking needs. Coun. Kim Richter asked about legal suites. The development will consist of 244 units, including 117 single family homes, 29 rowhouses, eight duplexes, and 90 strata units with 36 detached buildings and 54 townhouses. The single family homes could legally add secondary suites if they
follow Township rules, said Ramin Seifi, the Township’s director of community development. Suites are not allowed in townhouses. Whenever new highdensity neighbourhoods are built in Langley, sooner or later the Township is hearing about residents having trouble finding parking, Richter said. “Insufficient parking does not create a happy neighbourhood,” said Richter. She asked for an amendment that would increase the number of parking stalls to four at all the single family homes.
Other councillors were reluctant change the rules for one project without considering others. “This is not something we can do development by development,” said Coun. Bev Dornan. After some back and forth debate about whether to delay the vote until after a council priorities committee meeting, the first two readings of the rezoning bylaw passed seven to two. Richter and Coun. David Davis voted against them. The development will now proceed to a public hearing at a future council meeting.

The arrival of cold weather Tuesday meant that local shelters began offering more services to keep the homeless alive in Langley. The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope shelter opened its emergency cold weather program on Tuesday night and was expected to stay open at least until Thursday, then continue if needed. The shelter opens its doors to provide a basic response to anyone who needs to get out of the cold from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. during the cold weather days. The special openings are in addition to the regular evening shelter provided by the Gateway of Hope, which also runs longer-term housing to help people put their lives together while getting off the streets. The Youth Weather Response Initiative was activated Tuesday and Wednesday nights and was expected to continue as long as temperatures were dipping to -2ºC or lower, said Loren Roberts, a senior program manager for Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services. The program is for teens and young adults who may not have anywhere safe to go for the night as temperatures dip. They may be connected to the SafeRide Program or, if they have no friends or family with which to spend the night safely, they can stay overnight at St. Dunstan’s Church in Aldergrove. Youths can go to the Starting Point outreach office at 20626 Eastleigh Cres. in Langley City to get a warm drink and snack, arrange for a ride, or access the overnight stay. Outreach workers will be put in contact with the youths after their stay so they can help find longterm solutions to their housing issues. Roberts said the program, only in its second year, is still looking for funding, and is getting some help from Jonker Honda-Nissan, the local car dealership. The firm recently raised about $1,000 for the shelter through a test drive fundraiser.

Pipeline construction could start in Langley by 2016 by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Langley and communities all along the proposed Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion will benefit before, during and after construction, a senior official said. The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce played host to Greg Toth, the senior director of the pipeline expansion project, on Nov. 19 when he outlined the economics of the project. Kinder Morgan owns the existing 1953-built pipeline from Edmonton, through North Langley and out to an export terminal in Burnaby. The expansion project aims to triple the amount of bitumen it can carry. Toth said a great many aspects of pipeline procedures and construction have changed in the past six decades and the same decisions would not be made today, particularly about routing and environmental issues. The pipeline, installed in the 1950s, was there before the TransCanada Highway and the Port Mann Bridge, he noted. Toth explained how comprehensive the application process is nowadays. The application is 24 volumes and costs about $6,000 to copy. In addition to the technical aspects of the project, it outlines the social impacts, how the company plans to handle socioeconomic aspects such as the code of conduct workers must adhere to, the requirement to hire local when possible, and more. Toth noted that Trans Mountain already uses local firms such as Britco and Maple Disposal. “We basically want to maximize our local employment opportunities,” Toth said. But there will be nonlocal workers brought in for some of the work and the company said it tries to mitigate the impacts on the communities where they live temporarily. About two thirds of the money they spend in a community goes for housing and food. Trans Mountain will submit the application in December but there will still be consultation. The application will also be posted to the website once it’s submitted to the National Energy Board, which will decide on the pipeline and sets out very specific plans and require-
ments for such projects. “We will continue to be out in the communities engaging,” he said. The company would like to start pipeline construction in 2016. Before then there would be work such as land clearing. The application will include most of the route but there are some dozen sites along the pipeline where the exact spot is not finalized. Toth said subsequent paperwork will be submitted for those sites. “We have said we want to follow the existing pipeline as far as possible,” he said. “We recognize that the landscape has changed
The pipeline promise
Trans Mountain Pipeline has spelled out what it considers the impacts of the new pipeline. • 131,000 additional jobs per year • $3.1 billion per year in taxes • $364 billion in additional Gross Domestic Product (GDP) • 4,500 jobs at peak construction • $400 million is the cost of the steel pipe that must be purchased
in the last 60 years.” Toth noted that Canada is missing out on about
$50 million per day of revenue by not having the pipeline capacity to export more fuel and one third of that money would go to the government. That’s because the price Canadians pay for oil and gas is lower than world commodity prices. The company secured binding contracts before starting the approval process through the federal government to ensure that there would be markets for the product. The contracts last 20 years. “Our expectations are that the contracts will be renewed,” Toth said. Questions from those
Greg Toth, senior director of the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, spoke to the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. Heather Colpitts Langley Advance
in attendance focused on unintended consequences of the pipeline, such as will it force up domestic fuel prices. He wasn’t sure about the impact on the prices
paid by Canadians and Canadian industries once the pipeline is constructed and more fuel can reach international markets.

Genetics base of civilization
People have always tended to react to new and different things they don’t understand with fear and rejection. The strange thing about the widespread – and growing – fear of “genetically modified” foods is that there’s nothing much new about them. In fact, they are as old as civilization. People have been “genetically modifying” crops and animals for thousands of years – since they first realized that the best seeds from the strongest plants tended to produce the strongest plants with the best yields, and that the finest cattle and goats and sheep gave birth to the finest calves and kids and lambs. It was the realization that the quality of progeny of plants and livestock could be controlled that resulted in agriculture… and civilization. The ability of seeds to somehow carry within them the special traits that make some plants “better” than others was at first thought to be a kind of magic, and then deemed a special gift that could be coerced from unseen and unknowable gods, until science unraveled the mysteries of genetics, piece by piece… and we’ve come a long way since Gregor Mendel’s discoveries gave birth to the science of genetics. Understanding of genetics increased crop and livestock yields exponentially, changing plant and animal breeds into forms unrecognizable from their predecessors – and has fed a burgeoning world population. The unfortunately labelled “GMOs” (genetically modified organisms) are not much more than a continuation of the process of gaining knowledge about genetics and using it to provide more people with better nutrition. Inserting genes directly into the genome speeds the process of hitherto laborious changes through many generations – usually spanning decades – of breeding. And even that process is not as new as most people believe – it has been estimated that about 70 per cent of the processed foods we consume daily already contain GMO components. GMOs do need rational controls – but not blind fear. – B.G.

Gratitude in poetic form
Dear Editor, After seeing the pictures and reading the stories of Canada’s veterans [Poppies sold at 91, et al, Nov. 7, Langley Advance], I felt compelled to write this poem to show my gratitude.
As I went through our papers I saw pictures and stories Of some of our vets About fighting for their country Some wounded, but with no regrets As a proud Canadian I am indebted to them all To the ones who came home And to the ones they watched fall When I was a child And Vietnam was on TV I wondered if I could do it If Canada asked this of me To go to war In an ungodly place And pray to come home In God’s good grace Maybe all veterans thought this But to their minds a slave They all went forth proudly Every one of them brave So for all of you veterans The old and the new And for all of you still fighting This poppy is for you

some of those who live there have no idea about having a dog. The kids said, “please,” and there ya go – a puppy. No thought was given to who was going to take care of the puppy and what was going to happen when everyone has gone for the day, to work, to school. I’m usually up at 4:30-5 a.m., and about 6 a.m. I have to listen to at least one and then a second dog bark and whine until almost 9 p.m. every day, except when someone takes the time to take the pup/dog for a 10- to 15-minute walk – and then it starts again: barking and whining, because it has again been shut outside. That is not how you treat a dog in a family environment. I’ve seen a little white dog pulled through the fence for a walk by a little girl who
insists on dragging it until it pees (she wanted it, but now it is a chore), instead of taking it for a walk and letting it have some fun. Then it’s pushed back through the fence, only to be left outside alone to bark and whine, or tethered so it can go outside of the fence and watch the world go by. I have dogs. You wouldn’t know I even had one. Barking happens when my husband or I come home from work, and at playtime with the Frisbee in the back yard, and that is it. If you don’t want to take on the responsibility of looking after a pet – and it is a responsibility – then please, don’t get one! You are doing a serious injustice to the poor animal. I’ve been so close to calling LAPS… in my mind, it’s abuse. Debbie Atkinson, Langley
Fireworks
Community kept street safe
Dear Editor, I would like to say “Thank you” to the Langley City fire department and Langley RCMP for making our streets safer during the past Hallowe’en season. I live in between City Park and the City Trails, and there’s always a continuous barrage of fireworks at that time of year. It terrifies pets and makes people jumpy and uneasy. On Halloween, we have a huge yard display, and many people drive to our house to attend. Parents, children, our neighbours, and I were pleased to see RCMP members patrolling the park and school, and confiscating potentially dangerous hazards. The firefighters were also fantastic, driving through the neighbourhoods, talking to the kids, and preventing situations from arising. It was a great community effort, truly appreciated.

Unanimously streamlined rules take hard line on hazards
Fire regulations are being streamlined, and toughened for some fire hazards. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Abandoned properties will be getting more scrutiny from Langley Township under a new set of combined fire prevention bylaws. Township council passed the first three readings of the bylaws unanimously on Monday night. The new bylaw and regulations bring together what were
once a set of bylaws that separately addressed fireworks, fire prevention, and other hazardous activities and enforcement. It modified a number of fines, with some going up while others have dropped slightly. If it passes fourth and final reading, it will also affect the way the fire department can deal with vacant homes and buildings, said fire chief Stephen Gamble. The department can order property owners to secure buildings if they have either been burned, or if they are considered fire hazards, Gamble said. The issue has come up at
council recently, with Coun. Charlie Fox and others calling for new regulations to deal with vacant houses. The fire department can act within 24 hours, Gamble said. After they have warned a property owner to secure his premises, they can simply have it done and the expenses will be charged to the landowner through his or her property tax bill. The issue of empty homes, which can burn because of squatters cooking inside or because arsonists simply set them ablaze, has been particularly noticeable in Willoughby.
Over the last 10 years, a number of older homes have gone from being occupied by owners, to being rented out, to being abandoned while developers wait to knock them down and build new homes or condos. Just this fall, two homes on 208th Street have been hit with arsons. Both have now been demolished. The council quizzed Gamble about several aspects of the revised regulations, including some perennial questions they hear from local residents. Coun. Kim Richter asked about the myth that backyard fires are allowed if they are used
for cooking. This can lead to firefighters turning up to find a package of marshmallows or hot dogs left out to try and deflect fines. Gamble confirmed that backyard burning is not made legal simply by cooking. Firefighters will give out tickets and have a zero tolerance policy. Township administrator Mark Bakken mentioned that when the Township gave warnings, it would find repeated fires at the same homes, but the person who claimed to have started the fire always claimed to have never been warned before.

Building awards gala hosted in Langley
A record number of nominations have been submitted for the Re/Max Fraser Valley real commercial building awards taking place Nov. 28 in Langley. The third annual awards gala, which is being held at the Coast Hotel & Convention Centre, honours the best in commercial and industrial construction in the region. “We believed this year would set a record for the number of nominations, and it has worked out that way, with 43,” said Mark MacDonald, president of Invest Northwest Publishing Ltd. and one of the event coordinators. These events draw some of the Valley’s largest and most successful builders and owners, with the building awards quickly becoming a premier industry event, said Re/Max’s Roy Anderson. “I look forward each year to the unveiling of the top development projects in the region and hearing the stories behind them as well as seeing the passion that the award winners have for their projects,” Anderson said. Real estate expert, author, and publishing house president Ozzie Jurock will be the keynote speaker at the event, and will share his projections and analysis of the commercial real estate market. “These awards take a moment every year to acknowledge the creative and forward-thinking work done by the various professionals in the design and building trades, and the owners who make the projects possible,” MacDonald said. “Commercial construction often involves advanced architectural designs, environmentally sensitive materials and energy-efficient systems, and yet rarely gets recognized for its effort,” he added. “That’s what this event is all about.” There are 11 categories, and to be eligible for these awards, projects had to be completed between Jan. 1, 2012, and Sept. 30, 2013. Tickets to the event are $95 plus tax, and must be booked online by Nov. 25 at www.businessvi.ca/events.

Crooner Matt Dusk was the highlight of a gala evening on Nov. 14 to mark the official opening of the new Mercedes dealership in Langley City. Auto expert Zack Spencer emceed the evening attended by about 500 invited guests. After speeches, a video using local scenes was unveiled for Mercedes Langley. Ajay Dilawri, the president of the Dilawri Group of Companies, explained that this is the first Mercedes for the auto firm which has 49 across Canada representing 28 auto brands. “Until tonight we’ve never had the honour of representing the iconic Mercedes brand,” he said. The dealership quietly opened in early October and by the grand opening had sold 56 Mercedes, a Smart Car and a Sprinter
(industrial van). The sales success was despite the chaos going on around the dealership with the construction of the Mufford Overpass taking place on Glover Road and Mufford Crescent. “In the long term, it’s going to be great,” he said of the overpass. Dilawri said that the auto group also becomes involved in the communities where it operates through its Dilawri Foundation. The plan is to settle in and have the dealership become involved in the community starting in 2014. Mercedes-Benz Langley is the first Mercedes-Benz dealership in the Fraser Valley. At 50,000 square feet, it is also the largest independently owned Mercedes-Benz, Sprinter, and Smart car sales and service centre in Western Canada. “We believe we are ideally located to serve the entire Fraser Valley,” Dilawri said. The dealership sits across Langley Bypass from the Auto Collection, an area of more luxury auto dealerships.

Brain-injured teacher tackles oboe solo Music groups from TWU are hosting a series of concerts leading into the holidays. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com
T
Katrina Grabowski photo
TWU arts students as well as community members are going to be performing a series of concerts in the next few week, both at the faith-based university and at Fraser Valley churches.
Grypma is now classified as one of the TWU orchestra’s longer standing community members, and in that capacity he will be the featured oboe soloist at the concert in his hometown on Saturday, and another on Friday in Abbotsford. He’ll be performing Gabriel’s Oboe by Ennio Morricone, the main theme from the film The Mission, which stars Jeremy
Irons (whose character plays the oboe in the film). “We’re delighted to feature the talented Ron Grypma on the oboe, as he’s been a solid member of our orchestra since 2009,” said Dr. Jon Thompson, conductor of the orchestra. “This moving piece from The Mission is the quintessential illustration of the powerful role music can play in a story, as Jeremy Irons’ character literally uses music to save his own life,” Thompson added. Grypma’s performance is just a part of the TWU’s School of the Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC) weekend concert series being performed by both the orchestra and concert band, and paying tribute to the music of the silver screen. Where would Hollywood be without great music? From the unforgettable notes of
John Williams’ Star Wars score to the classical masterpieces that have been inspiring filmmakers since the dawn of the “talkies,” some of the best stories are told through music.

he course of Ron Grypma’s life changed dramatically back in 2001, when he fell and hit his head. “The effects of that injury still continue to haunt me to this day, and probably will for life, albeit with less severity,” the secondary school teacher says in his autobiography on the Langley Christian School website. Suffering from what he described as post-concussion syndrome, Grypma explained how that accident dramatically altered his life. The long-time chiropractor was forced to switch careers, returning to school a decade ago to become a teacher. “Going back to school at that time had an unexpected side benefit; it was effective therapy for my brain injury,” The one thing his injury didn’t do was dull his passion for music, and in fact it might have helped rekindle that interest. It’s that passion for music that will have the 52-year-old oboist taking the stage for a solo number during Friday night’s Music from the Movies concert at Trinity Western University. “My love for playing the oboe was rekindled a few years ago, and I have since resumed my desire to further develop my playing ability on this instrument,” Grypma said. He has studied with a professional oboist who is a member of the Vancouver Opera Ensemble. And, in addition to playing the oboe in worship services at the Willoughby Christian Reformed Church, he is also a member of the TWU orchestra.

controversial Vancouver author will venture out to Fraser Valley twice during the next week, sharing her smoke-free message to the masses at two trade shows. The first, happening this weekend at Tradex in Abbotsford, is the West Coast Christmas Show running Friday through Sunday, with author and activist Pamela McColl in attendance all weekend and offering two readings on Sunday. McColl will be joined at this show by a number of Langley-based exhibitors, including Bookas, Dirty Bird Jewellery, Checkers Premium Fudge, Simply Delish Soup & Salad Co., Sweet Thea Cakes, Silvering Jewellery, and Kuseno Comfort Products. For more about the Christmas show, visit www.westcoastchristmasshow.com. In the meantime, a fundraising event for the Langley Child Development Centre is being held closer to home on Wednesday, Nov. 27, and again McColl will be in attendance from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Coast Hotel & Convention Centre, and she will again be offering two readings of her book. McColl released her modified version of ’Twas The Night Before Christmas last year, and she describes it as the smoke-free 21st century version edited by Santa. As an author of non-fiction, she said making the leap into the children’s genre last year proved incredibly rewarding as she lobbies for a smoke-free future. When she was 18 she fled her house, which was engulfed in flames as a result of her father falling asleep in bed with a lit cigarette. Though she had taken up smoking as a teenager, she quit over three decades ago and has been lobbying against smoking ever since. This latest book has garnered more attention and awards than she ever could have hoped or expected, and while she’s already released it in English, Spanish, and French, McColl is set to release it in Chinese on Dec. 9. It’s time, she insists, for Santa to lose the pipe. “Surveys show us that kids don’t like a smoking Santa,” McColl told the Langley Advance, noting that children worry about their parents and St. Nick smoking. “I had no idea it would be as successful as it is,” but she’s elated over how powerful a tool it’s become in her tobacco-prevention lobbying efforts.
Chorus presents Boughs, Bows, and Bells
F
or many, Christmas hasn’t truly arrived until they hear the magical music of the holiday season. The Langley Community Chorus (LCC) kicks off its annual Christmas concert series in Willoughby. The LCC has called their 2013 Christmas concert series Boughs, Bows, and Bells, offering an eclectic mixture of Christmas songs, non-traditional carols, and what chorus spokesperson Alex Knight calls “lovely melodies that highlight the 85 voices of the chorus.” They will sing in English, French, Spanish, and Latin, and some of the music dates back to the 16th century. “It will be a different and very entertaining concert, which everyone should enjoy,” said Knight. The first evening concert is being held Saturday, Nov. 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Willoughby Christian Reformed Church, at 20525 72nd Ave. There are also two matinees planned, both at 3 p.m. The first is Sunday, Dec. 1 at St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church, at 3025 264th St. in Aldergrove, and the last is on Sunday, Dec. 8, at the Sharon United Church, 21562 Old Yale Rd. in Murrayville. Tickets for the concerts are available at the door half an hour before each show: $15/adults, $10/students, and free for kids under the age of six. For more about the chorus, people can visit www.langleychorus.org.

Jazz starts Burgart boys part of frog chorus lectures She’s gone from Chilliwack to New York via Europe, China and Japan.
A
Chilliwack-raised New York jazz musician kicks off the Langley Fine Arts School Arts Matters series. Bria Skonberg performs for the public at 7 p.m. on Nov. 22 at the Chief Sepass Theatre. During the day on Friday, she’s working with students at the school through Arts Matters, a lecture series that invites Canadian artists to share their experiences with Fraser Valley residents. LFAS students will serve as Skonberg’s opening act and the evening concludes with a question and answer session. The award winning trumpeter/vocalist/ composer had her first professional gig as a big band singer at 16, doing double duty by also playing trumpet. Skonberg has performed all over North America, Europe, China, and Japan. She moved to New York about three years ago and has performed at jazz meccas such as Symphony Space, Birdland, and The Iridium among the likes of Nicholas Payton, Anat Cohen, Bucky Pizzarelli, and Scott Robinson. While touring internationally, she makes time to be part of music education workshops for all ages. Tickets are $20 (plus fees and taxes). Get them through www.lfasartsmatter. com or call the school at 604-888-3113.
It’s a family affair for a Willoughby family that has immersed itself in an upcoming showing of The Frog Princess pantomime. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com
R
ebecca Burgart credits the Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society for bringing her six-member Willoughby family even closer together, more so than she could ever have hoped. “It’s been really good for my family… we’ve really bonded,” said the full-time school secretary who is glad she found time to be part of the society. Always supportive of their children’s different artistic quests, Rebecca and hubby Bryce are thrilled to see their clan coming together through a musical theatre group that is preparing to raise the curtain on a production of The Frog Princess next Wednesday. While Rebecca describes her family as close, she said rehearsing three nights a week, for three to four hours a night in preparation for this Christmas pantomime, has allowed her to spend even more time with her two youngest boys Jonathan and Jacob. While Mom is working behind the scenes on this show with makeup and staging, and Dad is expected to help out with some of the set work and music, the boys are members of the junior chorus of frogs. “It’s just been such a wonderful experience,” she said.

The Burgart family first became part of what Rebecca calls the G&S family a few years back. Mom had been commenting on how proud she was of her children’s stage presence in their various school and music shows. All of them are exploring different avenues of the arts: their 19-year-old son Kaden singing and playing the violin; their 16-year-old daughter Kristina’s exploring dance and visual arts; their 15-year-old son Jonathan being musical and acting inclined; and their youngest’s – nine-year-old Jacob – discovering his skills on the piano.
Mom had commended them on their abilities, and insisted she could never do it, when they turned the tables and pushed her to try. With some serious prompting, the singer and visual artist decided to give acting a try, and G&S has proven a perfect fit, she said. The current production, The Frog Princess begins Nov. 27 and concludes Dec. 8, with evening performances Wednesdays to Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., and matinees on Saturdays and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. at the Surrey Arts Centre. Tickets are available by calling 604501-5566.

Standing Wave, the Vancouver-based cutting edge chamber ensemble, brings its music to the Rose Gellert Hall for a show on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 3 p.m.
Music week
Students, staff, visitors perform Canadian Music Week celebrations will take listeners around the globe.
Langley Community Music School is bringing together music students along with professionals in its concerts to mark Canadian Music Week. Beginning with a student recital and workshop on Saturday, Nov. 23 at 2 p.m., the celebration continues with Britten Birthday Bash and a Bit of Bali at 7:30 p.m. This is a special bonus concert featuring artists Joel Stobbe on cello, Ariel Barnes, also on cello, Reilley West who plays viola, and pianists Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann. The Saturday student recital and workshop features student performances of works by an array of Canadian composers. It includes the premiere performance of new work by LCMS alumnus Justin Christiansen for piano trio, commissioned by LCMS for this occasion. He will also serve as guest adjudicator for the workshop, and is the
2010 recipient of the prestigious Jules Leger Canada Council composition prize. The unique evening show is about the connections between Canada and Bali and between the two composers featured Saturday. Britten came to Canada in 1939 and during the time spent here, he wrote a Canadian Carnival. The other connection Britten has with Canada is his friendship with fellow composer colleague, Colin McPhee. McPhee was born in Canada but spent a substantial amount of his life in Bali and wrote ethno-musicological work on Balinese music. The festivities conclude with the Concerts Café Classico season opener featuring Standing Wave on Nov. 24. “Standing Wave is a stellar ensemble noted for making cutting-edge music accessible to the audience. And, continuing our alumni connection, we are very pleased and proud that they will be performing Critical Distance, another of Justin
Christiansen’s compositions, in concert this weekend,” says Bergmann. “I am also excited to have Justin joining me and my husband Marcel [Bergmann] in a discussion about his music and Canadian music in general during the chat preceding the concert on Sunday afternoon.” From the intricate complexities of the music of Howard Bashaw and Chris Paul Harman, to the bold jazz of Tony Wilson, and the anarchic electro-acoustic imaginings of Giorgio Magnanensi, the ensemble has commissioned and premiered more than 75 works in its 22 year history. At Cafe Classico events, coffee and commentary are hosted before the concert at 3 p.m., followed by the performance at 4 p.m. Tickets to the Standing Wave concert are available for $15 adults, $13 seniors and $10 students. Call the box office for tickets at 604-5342848. Both shows are at the Rose Gellert Hall, 4899 207th St.

Douglas Day
Pioneers banquet’s honoured guests Langley City and Township showed their appreciation for local pioneers’ contributions at the annual Douglas Day banquet this week.
Celebration of Langley’s pioneers and the work they did to lay down the foundations of the community has been an annual Douglas Day event since the mid-1940s. Douglas Day marks the creation of British Columbia as a Crown colony through proclamation by James Douglas, on behalf of Queen Victoria, at Fort Langley on Nov. 19, 1858. This year, more than 200 pioneers were treated to lunch, musical entertainment by The Seabillys, and special presentations at a banquet held in their honour at the Langley Events Centre. Following is a list of Langley’s current pioneers – those who are at least 70 years of age and have lived in Langley for 60 of those years.

Are you interested in seeing more of the world? Do you want to learn how everything works on your iPad? Would you like to dance with an old friend or make a new acquaintance on Valentine’s Day? If so – and you happen to be over the age of 60 – you are in luck. Langley Township and Chartwell Langley Gardens Retirement Community are teaming up this winter to launch Seniors In Action. The series of monthly events and activities is designed to keep older members of the community active and involved with others. “Seniors have so much to give,” said Alicia Stark, community recreation programmer for the Township. “The purpose of this program is to provide them with fun and useful opportunities to keep doing the things they enjoy, and maybe try something new.” Seniors In Action gets started on
Thursday, Nov. 28, with a Learn To Use Your iPad class. The series will include a Christmas Tea with live music in December, a Valentine’s Dance, and a seniors’ travel workshop in the new year. “Providing quality of life for seniors is our passion and we wanted to take the quality programming we offer here at our residence and bring it into the community,” said Rhonda Davison, community relations coordinator with Chartwell Langley Gardens. “We are happy to partner with the Township of Langley to present programming for seniors that can be enjoyed by all residents aged 60 plus.” Most Seniors In Action events will be held at the Walnut Grove Community Centre and require pre-registration. Call 604-882-0408. “This series was created specifically for seniors, so come on out and engage your mind, try something new, and meet new people,” Stark said.

Because We Care… A message from
FALL IS HERE and the lazy days of summer Teunis Schouten, are over. The cooler temperatures indicate B Cared For Owner that it is time to get busy doing that last bit of yard work and preparing the house for winter. The bounty of the autumn season means fresh apples and pumpkins are ready to be made into pies, jellies and jams. There’s lots to do and if you are a senior living alone, it can be just too much! You could ask your very busy children to help but what if your children live out of town or even out of province? You could hire a company to do your yard work but this can be expensive. Instead why not invite one of the friendly companions from B Cared For to help you? They would love to help get your house and yard ready for winter. And making pies and preserves is a lot more fun with someone to help out. We offer a range of services at a price designed for every lifestyle and budget. Our services are designed around your comfort and security. Why do we do it? Because we care.

The public is being invited to talk about key housing issues on Nov. 23. The Triple A Senior Housing Workshop runs 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and focuses on affordability, accessability and appropriateness, all important factors when creating housing for older adults. The workshop, which is free to attend, is the first of two centred on finding solutions to senior housing concerns and getting the community thinking about these issues before the seniors population explodes. Baby Boomers, the largest demographic group in society, are moving into their senior years and that will affect all aspects of society. “Our working group represents broad stakeholder interests representing a variety of perspectives relating to the challenges and opportunities for establishing and maintaining a range of appropriate, accessible, afford-
able housing options for with planning. seniors in the Langleys,” There will be a continsaid Lynda Brummitt, one ental breakfast at 9 a.m. of the organizers. “We To register, phone the are also looking forward Langley Seniors Resource to working with the BC Centre, 604-530-3020.

“I recommend Vitamin C and Lysine for Heart Health” W. Gifford-Jones, MD
Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack I decided to follow the research of Dr. Linus Pauling, Professor Williams Stehbens and Dr. Sydney Bush and take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine. I am turning 90 soon and I am glad I did! Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Nobel Prize winner, claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams of vitamin C to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Dr. William Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Auckland University in New Zealand emphasized that coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other arteries in the body. They’re under constant pressure while the heart beats 100,000 times every 24 hours, or 37 million times a year, and 2.2 billion times if you live to 70 years of age. Without sufficient vitamin C and lysine this constant pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, resulting in blood clots and possible death, or a weakened artery can break, causing a stroke. Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C and lysine can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later new pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Now you can take the right combination of vitamin C and lysine in a powder form I developed called NEW BOOK NOW Medi-C Plus™. AVAILABLE

Langley City streamlining lauded ON MONDAY NOVEMBER 25
Being able to reduce development costs earned accolades for the City.
Langley City was a winner in the most improved category during awards presented by the development community. The NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association (Vancouver Chapter) released its 14th rankings of municipalities. Since the last survey results in 2011, the City had an 18 per cent drop in overall development costs. “We are thrilled to be recognized for our commitment to the positive growth of our City, and in doing so, further enhancing the livability of our community for all citizens,” said
Langley City photo
Acting Mayor Ted Schaffer accepted the NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Development Association Municipal Excellence award recently. Acting Mayor Ted Schaffer. The survey, distributed to 20 Lower Mainland municipalities, requires each municipality to identify the costs and processing times associated with the parameters of a
case study. For 2013, the development project was, as per previous surveys, the construction of a twostorey, 100,000-square-foot industrial warehouse distribution building on 5.5 acres of land requiring both subdivision and rezoning. “From supporting jobs creation, to building a robust business community and helping to enhance quality of life, we recognize the incredibly important role the development industry plays in our community,” Schaffer said. “We have focused on relationship building and creating an internal framework that addresses the development industry’s cost and other challenges. As a result, we have streamlined our processes to make it easier and more attractive for developers to work within our community.”

especially made for growing them over water. Whether using a special jar or not, the base of the bulb should be kept about half an inch above the water. But remember that, after growing and flowering over a water jar, the bulb will be completely exhausted, and it is not likely that it will be able to bloom again for several years, no matter what you do. Soaking amaryllis bulbs in water for two or three hours before planting helps to counteract any drying-out from their weeks spent on store shelves. After that, you must water sparsely until shoots begin appearing. Paperwhites are always white or yellow, and most have a truly wonderful fragrance. They’re variations of the narcissus tazetta which cover Mediterranean hills with flowers in early winter. Paperwhites aren’t

number of flowers on each stem. The large bulbs also can often provide a second flowering during the next season. Choosing a heavy container helps prevent your amaryllis from doing nosedives onto the floor – a problem that can occur because the blooming stem(s) are capable of become heavier than the planted pot. Gardeners who buy individual bulbs and hope to recycle the bulbs to bloom next year could plant them in one-third each of potting mix, sand, and grit. But other soil combinations can also work. The crucial issue with amaryllis is providing good drainage. Repeat flowering is more likely if fertilization is continued after the blooms die down. Amaryllis can also be grown over water, just as hyacinth bulbs sometimes are. It is also possible to find amaryllis jars that are
fussy about their growth medium, and they don’t mind being packed tightly together. You can plant them in potting mix, sand, pebbles, bark mulch, or even water-filled gravel. Some gardeners let the bulbs touch the water, others let the water come close, knowing that soon the roots will sense it and delve into it. If you don’t fertilize them, the bulbs will not flower the next year, but since they’re frost-sensitive, most gardeners discard paperwhites after blooming. The gravel method looks great, but is almost impossible for staking – and paperwhites are chronic floppers and leaners. Some people choose planting mediums which allow staking. Others cut paperwhite flowers and put them in vases. White fragrant varieties include: ‘Ziva’ and ‘Shelag’ and the 30 centimetre (12inch) tall ‘Erlicheer.’ A fragrant, tall orangecupped yellow is ‘Soleil D’Or, while the Chinese Sacred Lily has a yellow cup, white petals, and sadly, almost no fragrance at all.

maryllis and paperwhite narcissus are incredibly rewarding bulbs when they’re planted to bloom during the grey rainy days around the turn of the year. They’re quick, too – amaryllis races from planting to flowering in just six to ten weeks, and paperwhites take four to five weeks. Faster blooming can be triggered if the planted bulbs are let to stand for a while on gentle bottom heat, such as on a plant mat or on top of a refrigerator. Amaryllis can be especially striking, because they produce wonderfully huge, velvety flowers in rich reds, candy pinks, yellows, whites, orange, lime, and mixes of bi-coloureds, stripes, picotees, and doubles. Black thumb gardeners would find it hard to fail with amaryllis, especially since some come already planted in a pot and need only water to get them started. They make good gifts which are easy to find, and they don’t have to break the budget. The smaller, inexpensive amaryllis bulbs usually produce single stems with two or three flowers. But some of the larger amaryllis bulbs can produce two or three stems each, and then produce a

Lightning strikes in Valley All four Langley Christian teams are headed to provincial championships. by Troy Landreville
tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
It’s been a banner year for Langley Christian High School’s volleyball program. Across the board, LCHS Lightning teams have struck in the Fraser Valley. The school is home to Grade 8 boys and senior girls Fraser Valley championship teams. Rounding out the list of Lightning squads is the Fraser Valley silver medal-winning junior boys and bronze medal-winning senior boys. The Grade 8 boys squad defeated Semiahmoo in the Fraser Valley final at Hatzic Secondary. Meanwhile, the Lightning senior girls secured the Single A Fraser Valley title on Monday with a four-set win over White Rock Christian Academy in the championship game at the Langley Events Centre. The Lightning was ranked No. 1 in the Fraser Valley going into the tournament. “I think we played really well,” Lightning assistant coach Mikiah Schalk said, regarding the championship win over WRCA. “This was our best game of the year and it was nice to see.” The Lightning’s Sarah Kunst was named Fraser Valley tournament MVP. LCHS tournament all-stars
included Emma Kastelein and Gabby Schnitzer. Next up for the Lightning senior girls is the B.C. championship tournament Nov. 28-30 at Duncan Christian. The Fraser Valley champion senior girls squad includes head coach Mary-Joan Vissher, assistant coach Mikiah Schalk, Mariek Devynk, Sarah Kunst, Emma Kastelein, Esther Moermon, Gabby Schnitzer, Cassidy Morris, Sydney Tilstra, Beth Humphry, Chelsea Noort, Carrie Noort, Paige Davis, and Ali Wergeland. Tuesday afternoon at the LEC, the Lightning junior boys lost in four sets to Abbotsford’s MEI Eagles. “We came out really strong,” said Eric VanHuizen, who coaches the junior boys squad along with Jeff Bontkes. “We were totally dominating them the first couple of games. Then, towards the end of the second game, they kind of got the upper hand and stole momentum from us with some good serving. Momentum plays a huge role in volleyball games.” En route to the final, the Lightning posted key wins over Langley Fundamental and Pacific Academy. “Second in the Fraser Valley is a pretty good accomplishment,” VanHuizen said. LCHS’s junior boys include Jared Foster, Jon McAdam, Clayton Devries, Linden Bontkes, Joey Goulet Jones, Kevin Murtland, Aron Schepp, Brennan Gardner, Parker Heppell, Reed Marriott, Mathew Jachrelich,

Brennan Gardner and Linden Bontkes were named Fraser Valley all-stars. The Lightning are now in the B.C. championships at MEI. The tournament gets underway today and runs until Saturday. At the senior boys level, the Lightning defeated Surrey’s Pacific Academy Tuesday at the LEC to place third in the Valley.

It’s fair to say that the Langley Rivermen have been saving up points for a rainy day. That’s because over a 56-game schedule, slumps can often be inevitable.

Some choices are hard.
Grizzlies on Saturday have changed the landscape in the B.C. Hockey League’s Mainland Division. The ’Men, who have led the division much of the season, have now dropped into second place in the Mainland. The local juniors are point behind the frontrunning Prince George Spruce Kings, who they are hosting tonight (Thursday) at the Langley Events Centre. The Rivermen/Spruce Kings showdown has a 7:15 p.m. start time. From a glass-half-full perspective, the Rivermen have just eight losses in 25 games this season and are knocking on the door for the division lead.

Stealth re-signs veteran player Another vital piece to Vancouver’s offence is back for another season. The Vancouver Stealth has re-signed Dean Hill to a one year contract for the 2014 season. Hill will be entering his third season with the National Lacrosse League squad, which relocated from Everett, Wash. to Langley during the summer. Hill has played with four teams during his eight-year NLL career, competing in 89 career games during that span. He’s also put up some impressive numbers throughout his career, tallying 234 points (123 goals, 111 assists) and 202 loose balls in regular season and playoffs combined. With Hill’s addition, the Stealth secured another top six scorer for the 2014 season, “Dean is a savvy goal scorer who gives an added dimension to our offence,” Stealth president and general manager Doug Locker said. “He causes opposing defences lots of concern because when he has the ball he’s a threat.” Hill came to the Stealth in 2012 and couldn’t be happier about the opportunity to continue his career with the team. “I’m really happy to be back,” he said. “This is the team I want to play for. I was a restricted free agent and there was only one team I wanted to play with and that was Vancouver.” Hill is coming off a solid 2013 season, tallying 20 goals during the regular season, behind only Athan Iannucci (22), Lewis Ratcliff (31), and Rhys Duch (45) for most goals. Hill also finished sixth on the team in scoring with 38 points (20 goals, 18 assists) while adding another three points (one goal, two assists) in three playoff games with the Stealth. The 2014 season will bring a few changes, with the most significant being the Stealth’s move to Lower Mainland, but Hill is looking forward to the opportunity of playing in a new home and in his home country. “It’s pretty special to play in Canada. I’m from Ontario but I have family and friends here, so to get the opportunity to play in front of them is pretty special,” Hill said. The expectations are high and will remain high for a team that came one goal short of winning the Champions Cup (NLL title) last year and Hill knows that missed opportunity will help provide some extra motivation for the team. “I think our expectations are just like every team. We want to win that [NLL] championship game and I think we have the team to do it,” Hill said. The journey for another trip to the 2014 Champions Cup Final begins in Colorado on Jan. 4, followed by the Stealth’s home opener at the Langley Events Centre on Jan. 11 against the Minnesota Swarm.

TWU led by as many as 24 points at one point during a lopsided win over UNBC Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. The University of Northern B.C. Timberwolves were held at bay from long range Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. And as a result, the host Trinity Western University Spartans were able to rebound from a tough loss Friday to the T-Wolves, to pick up a weekend split with UNBC after a 92-73 win. After the Timberwolves (2-4) had hit 13 threepointers Friday, TWU (3-3) held the visitors to just eight baskets from long range the next night. With UNBC’s perimeter game held in check, the Spartans broke the game wide open in the third quarter, outscoring the Timberwolves 30-16. From there, the Spartans held off UNBC in the fourth quarter and cruised to their biggest margin of victory this year. As a team, TWU shot 57.6 per cent from the field and 53.8 per cent from three-point range. By contrast, the Timberwolves shot just 35.8 per cent from the field and, after hitting on 50 per cent of their shots from beyond the arc Friday, were good on just 28.6 per cent of their long range attempts. The Spartans were led by Jesse Jeffers, who had a career-high 21 points to go with seven rebounds.

Trinity Western University Spartans guard Matthew Blackaby attempted a shot against the University of Northern B.C. Timberwolves in Canada West men’s basketball action last weekend at the Langley Events Centre. The teams split games, with the Timberwolves winning Friday and the Spartans taking the victory on Saturday. His previous careerhigh was eight, he earned Friday against UNBC. Kelvin Smith, who had nine points in the fourth quarter alone, tied his career-high of 16 points while Tyus Allen also had a career night, collecting 13 points. Allen has twice previously picked up 12 points. For UNBC, Jibreel Stevens had 20 points, while Charles Barton added 14 points. Jeff Chu had a team-high seven rebounds to go with seven points.
“Our attention to detail today was much better and the team bought into putting the ball inside,” Spartans coach Scott Allen said, after his team’s victory. “We had a lot more easy looks and our defensive transition was a lot better today. I think this is more of a fair representation of who we are and today I thought we were ready to play from the outset. We still have a long way to go this year but it was good step in the right direction.”

Bears downed by Abby Falcons in junior bantam final For the second consecutive year, North Langley’s junior bantams made it all the way to the VCFL divisional championship game.
The North Langley junior bantam Bears are officially in hibernation for the winter. The Bears fell 48-21 to the Abbotsford Black Falcons in the Valley Community Football League final Saturday in Chilliwack. The Falcons took advantage of some excellent field position to open the scor-
ing on their first possession and take an early 8-0 lead. North Langley answered right back. Following a long run by Pablo Wigwigan, Connor Hurley made a great diving catch on a Jacob Stebbings’ pass to set up a first down on the Abbotsford threeyard line. Caleb Nielson then crashed his way through
the Falcons defenders and across the goal line to put the Bears on the board. After that Stebbings once again connected with Hurley on the successful convert to make the score 8-7 Falcons. The Abbotsford offence took over from there and, led by explosive running back Samwell Uko, proved almost unstoppable for the
remainder of the first half. The Falcons rolled to a 48-13 lead with the second score for the Bears coming on a touchdown by the hard-running Wigwigan. The Bears added a third major on a Jacob Stebbings bootleg late in the game and the defence contributed a fourth quarter safety touch to round out the North Langley scoring.
Lopsided win earns TWU weekend split The Spartans led by a sizeable 2912 margin at one point during the second quarter. TWU’s Taylor Heinrichs then hit a three-pointer to give the home side a 32-13 lead. But UNBC didn’t go away. With the Spartans shooters going cold and the Timberwolves heating up, UNBC went on an 11-0 run to get to within eight points, at 32-24, after a Devin McMurtry jumper. From there, the teams traded points and the Spartans went into the break ahead 36-27. TWU took over in the third quarter. Outscoring the Timberwolves 3016, the Spartans led by 24 points after a Denny McDonald bucket gave the home side a 63-39 lead. With the Spartans in full control and Jeffers leading the way with 17
The Timberwolves lit up the points through three quarters, TWU Spartans all night from the outside went into the final frame up 66-43. and TWU was only able to counter “I think we just pushed the ball with four three-pointwell and got easy ers of their own on 23 looks in that third “I think we just attempts. quarter,” Allen said.

“While the entire North Langley team can hold their heads high after a great effort on the field, the real stars of the game were the Bears’ coaching
staff who brought a smaller and less experienced Bears squad to the league final for the second year in a row,” noted a Bears press release on the game.

Rivermen host Spruce Kings tonight, Silverbacks Friday at LEC …continued from page A29 “For us to go through a couple of down weekends, we’re still one point out of first [in the division] with a game at hand [on the Spruce Kings],” Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson said. “That’s not a bad place to be.” Rivermen 7, Victoria Grizzlies 5 The Grizzlies led 5-4 after two periods and then scored two goals to the Rivermen’s one in the final frame before just 914 fans Saturday at the LEC. Henderson didn’t mince words, noting that goaltenders Steve Myland and Brock Crossthwaite need to be more consistent. “More than anything we need to get a save,” he said. “We gave up a couple of weak ones early Friday [in a 6-3 road loss to Coquitlam] and it carried into Saturday.”
On a positive note, the bench boss added, “we were able to put five goals up against Victoria.” Marcus Vela scored twice for the Rivermen against the Grizzlies. Team captain Mitch McLain, Nathan Craft, and Jakob Reichert also found the net in a losing effort.
Bumpy stretch
Langley’s juniors are 1-3-0-1 in their last five outings. Starting tonight, Henderson said the Rivermen have an opportunity to right the ship. “I go back to the previous Saturday against Merritt when we gave up a shorthanded goal and ended up losing in double overtime,” Henderson said. “Our confidence got shook a little bit. We have to put that behind us and get back on track, more than any-
thing. We have Prince George and for us, this is a huge one.” Attendance at the LEC has been spotty. Henderson hopes fans will come out and support the ’Men tonight in their showdown for top spot in the Mainland. “Our crowds the last couple weekends have been pretty good; we could use the support. This is a huge game for us.” The Rivermen are starting to get healthy with James Robinson, Kevan Kilistoff, Will Cook, and Zach Urban coming back from injury. The Rivermen have no time to rest following tonight’s game against the Spruce Kings. Tomorrow night (Friday, Nov. 22), the ’Men host the Salmon Arm Silverbacks at the LEC. Opening puck drop is 7:15 p.m.
