Cupcake fundraiser one sweet deal Cupcakes will support cats, dogs, and other animals at LAPS and elsewhere in a fundraiser this month. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Call it Pupcake Day. The Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) is taking part in this year’s National Cupcake Day on Feb. 24. This is the second year the Canada-wide fundraiser has taken place, raising money for humane societies, SPCA groups, and animal shelters from sea to sea. LAPS is jumping into the frosting-coated fundraiser this year, after last year’s efforts raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for groups across the country. “We’re encouraging people to register online at www.nationalcupcakeday.ca and then to bake cupcakes and host a National Cupcake Day party on Feb. 24, with all proceeds going to support LAPS,” saidSean Baker, executive director of LAPS. “We hope that people will encourage their family, friends and work colleagues to donate online and to support their efforts by attending a

local National Cupcake Day party, or hosting an event of their own. It’s a fun and easy way to make a life-saving difference in the lives of animals who desperately need our help.” So far, 15 people have signed up to support LAPS with a Cupcake Day fundraiser, and they have fundraising goals totalling $7,000, said Baker. If the average fundraiser hits $500, that will easily meet this year’s LAPS goal. Just about any venue can be used for a Cupcake Day party, said Jayne Nelson, animal welfare manager at LAPS. Homes, schools, office parties, and even online virtual parties have been used. By registering the party with the national website, people can donate to the cause from anywhere in the world. LAPS itself is hoping to organize a party out of the Patti Dale Animal Shelter in Aldergrove, where it houses its cats and dogs until they can be returned to their owners or adopted. “I think it could be really fun,” said Nelson

People can register solo, create a team, and can get a kit of tips and ideas via email, or in the mail if they register now. A large part of the idea behind National Cupcake Day is to spread the word through social media. Cupcake party hosts are asked to use everything from Facebook to Twitter to Pinterest to show off the cupcakes they bake, virtual designs of cupcakes, or to simply publicize their favoured shelters and charities. Once the party is planned, the easiest part is to eat the cupcakes. “Everyone loves cupcakes, and they taste even sweeter when you know it’s for a good cause,” said Baker. LAPS is hoping to raise several thousand dollars through this year’s Cupcake Day events, thanks to their supporters throughout the community, Baker said. LAPS itself has links and sign-up information at www.lapsbc.ca or www.facebook. com/LAPSlangley, and LAPS is registered as one of the charities through www.nationalcupcakeday.ca.

A Walnut Grove resident living near a proposed oil pipeline route isn’t happy about the idea. At the Feb. 3 Township council meeting, Eric Bickle said he and his family are concerned about the possible impacts of the proposed Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline project. “I would like to request that the Township work with Kinder Morgan to ensure that any pipeline through the golf course is routed well away from Walnut Grove homeowners, he said. • More online

Ballroom overflows with caring Langley City’s annual banquet was a chance to honour some of those who help out in the community. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The annual Langley City volunteer banquet was Feb. 7, an annual dinner to thank the many community groups in the City. But in her speech, Sharla Mauger, who was asked to speak on behalf of local volunteers, let the cat out of the bag – that volunteers may get more out of helping than those they help. “Let’s be honest, volunteering makes us feel good,” she commented. “It gives us the sense that we’re part of a community and part of something bigger.” City, provincial and federal representatives took turns thanking the representatives of the various volunteer groups in the community. “Never stop, never stop caring, never stop being part of this community, never stop reaching out,” said Peter Fassbender, the former City mayor and now the B.C. education minister. The City invites a limited num-

The event included honouring longtime volunteer Craig Davies, who died in 2013. Kate Davies, his wife and his two sons, Garth and Grant, were invited to the banquet. Little did they know that a special tribute would be made to Craig for his many years of volunteering. “We didn’t know there was going to be a special [honour],”

Some choices are hard.

said Kate, his wife. “It was nice recognition for Dad,” said Garth Davies. “This was an important event for him.” Joanne Finlay, a volunteer with the Langley Arts Council, was not only invited to the banquet but was also tapped for a piece of art that was given to Fassbender. The former City mayor and his wife Charlene were invited in recognition of their volunteer efforts, she for her work with the Magic of Christmas Parade and he for the Langley Parks Foundation.

A 61-year-old Langley man is not expected to survive a crash that occurred on an icy road on Tuesday morning. Just before 6 a.m., RCMP were called to the 1800 block of 240th Street, where a northbound pickup truck had flipped, apparently just two blocks from the victim’s home. The pickup had flipped onto its passenger side off the road. The victim was apparently not wearing a seatbelt. He was taken to hospital, but has severe injuries and is not expected to survive. He may have suffered some kind of medical emergency before the crash itself, Cpl. Holly Marks said. Drivers have crashed in the past after heart attacks, seizures, or strokes. The road was extremely slippery, said Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The officers at the scene found it hard to even stand up on the ice, Marks said. Because the crash was so close to the victim’s house, police don’t believe speed was a factor. This crash was the most serious of a number of collisions around Langley, most of them related to icy weather that coated local roads with black ice. The entire Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley was dealing with crashes, some of them fatal or resulting in serious injury. Anyone who witnesses the crash and has not yet spoken to police can call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Some are easy.

Brookswood kids delivering ‘Mugs of Love’ to needy Alice Brown Elementary students filled coffee mugs with travel-sized items, and will be handing them out to residents of the Downtown Eastside this Sunday.

The Leadership Group at Alice Brown Elementary School showed ‘Mugs of Love,’ coffee mugs filled with travel-sized items, that will be handed out to the needy living along Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside this Sunday.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

A dozen elementary-aged children from Brookswood will get an up-close look at the gritty face of abject poverty this Sunday. The 10- to 13-year-old students from Alice Brown Elementary and their parents plan to help make sandwiches and deliver them, along with “Mugs of Love” they created as part of a school leadership project, to residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. The Feb. 16 trip is organized and put on by the Homeless On Hastings group, based out of Langley and led by Jackie Maclean. “Mugs of Love” was a six-week long initiative spearheaded by Alice Brown teachers Alexandra Baxfield and Marie Moats. The school’s Leadership Group – made up of students in Grades 5 to 7 who exemplify positive leadership skills – filled coffee mugs with travel-sized toiletries (soap, shampoo, toothpaste, mouthwash, toothbrushes) and

Clark messaged the Homeless On Hastings Facebook page, asking if they were interested, and from that point the partnership took flight. “Facebook seems to be a fabulous means of spreading the word about what we’re doing,” Maclean said. Baxfield said the students are learning valuable lessons: to appreciate what they have, and to think of someone other than themselves. “We’re so involved in our own lives, and I think this is a way we can help others,” Baxfield said. The message seems to have resonated with the students.

“I learned how needy homeless people actually are,” Grade 7 Sasha Sharman said. “These little things, they can just be such a big impact on their lives, even though they are so small.” She noted that the students have enjoyed the project: “We’ve been really excited to do this. We’ve gotten a lot of stuff. It’s just been so much fun, putting these together.” “It’s been really fun,” added Grade 5 Matthew Perry. Maclean believes the timing for delivering the mugs works. “I think it’s going to be awesome,” she said. “It’s a perfect time, with Valentine’s Day. They [the recipients] really have nobody so it’s a super gesture – a really warm gesture.” The first Homeless On Hastings event took place on Aug. 28, 2011. Led by Maclean, a group of local people handed out 477 sandwiches to the residents that day. Last month, 25 volunteers helped make and hand out 655 sandwiches, as well as fruit and bottled water. Looking ahead to this Sunday, sandwiches are being prepared at Sheila Vandermark’s home in Cloverdale, and more volunteers are welcome to help out.

No surprises in budget or throne

The most obvious revelation to be had from both the federal budget and the provincial throne speech this week was that there is no federal or provincial election in the offing. Both presentations were about as exciting and unexpected as a municipal council committee meeting. The provincial government’s decision to utter its throne speech at the same time as the release of the federal budget raised some feeling of anticipation that B.C.’s premier was hoping that something controversial might be overshadowed by interest in the senior government’s moment in the spotlight… but more likely, no one in either camp was concerned that anything of interest was being revealed that might have serious political consequences, positive or negative. That’s not to say that everyone will be happy – or even moderately relieved – about the contents of either document. Certainly, there is the expected dutiful opposition and supportive back-patting from those who feel they are direct stakeholders with special interest in various components of both documents. Environmentalists, for instance, will find much to upset them in the federal budget. And past experience with the “Harper Government” suggests that we can expect more budget-related legislation later this year that has absolutely no forewarning in this budget. And teachers won’t be happy with a hint in the B.C. throne speech that they will be expected to sign a 10-year contract. Right. And who is fooling whom? But both documents were mostly “business as usual” pronouncements. And frankly, that’s not a bad thing. We don’t even like the disingenuous budgets and throne speeches that transparently step outside of reality when they are used to kick off election campaigns. This down-to-earth stuff is much easier to swallow. – B.G.

Coulter Berry

Opposition building new party

Dear Editor, It was quite ironic to see published a clear example [Coulter Berry unforgettable, Feb. 3 Letters, Langley Advance] of Coulter Berry opponents’ opportunistic exploitation of the project’s Letters political currency. to the The author is clearly stumping for a neophyte municipal political party with a letter that is essentially an Editor election plug. Those people don’t seem to realize they live in a representative democracy, or that Mayor Jack Froese is simply stating the political reality of our system: it isn’t, in fact, ruled by petition. Anyone unhappy with our political system ought to be advocating for reform, not attacking community members and families. It is hardly surprising that an individual who apparently has not fully informed herself of the material facts involved, or else deliberately chooses to misrepresent the

facts, as evidenced with the many flawed assertions, would also find compelling the opponents of Langley Township and Coulter Berry who display the same “leanings and tendencies.” Catherine Doyle, Fort Langley

Community spirit encouraging

Dear Editor, It is encouraging to read comments like those of Lois Hooks [Coulter Berry unforgettable, Feb. 4 Letters, Langley Advance] and George Oddy [Fort developer shows a lot of nerve, Feb. 6 Letters, Advance] who are such community-spirited citizens. To them and to many of us who support Fort Langley’s heritage guidelines and Official Community Plan, the reasons those plans were put in place were for the benefit of all, not just for one or two. Bays Blackhall, Langley [Note: Fuller versions of these letters and others are online at www.langleyadvance. com. Click on Opinion.]

Energy environment

Measure tar sands before deaths

Dear Editor, Terry Brenan [Oil sands next to tundra anyway, Feb. 11 Letters, Langley Advance] yet again misses the mark with his uninformed, incomplete response to mine [Surviving LNG tanker proves nothing, Feb. 4 Letters, Advance]. The fact that the tar sands are built in an uninhabitable swamp is even more offensive. Swamps are among the

most fragile, important, and un-restorable elements of our ecosystem, and the fact that we don’t live in them is beyond irrelevant. But what does David Suzuki know, compared to an armchair quarterback who apparently visited Fort McMurray and knows for a fact that what comes out of a smokestack is steam? I’ll be the first to let him breathe it.

Environment

Grizzlies worth more alive

Dear Editor, A rally in support of ending the grizzly bear trophy hunt is being held at the Parliament Buildings in Victoria on Feb. 15 at 2 p.m. There appears to be very little debate among the public, with opinion polls showing 87 per cent against the hunt. Any real debate, it seems, is between the people and the government itself, which is why there will be a rally on the steps of the government buildings. Alberta has had a moratorium on grizzly hunting since 2006 – because in Alberta, they are officially listed as “extirpated,” which means locally extinct. Is this what it has to come to in B.C.? Killing grizzlies does not contribute to conservation of the species, as hunters would have us believe. A bear is more valuable alive for eco-tourism than dead as a hunter’s trophy. If 87 per cent of the population disagrees with the trophy hunt, why are the 13 per cent carrying so much weight? Perhaps Christy Clark will explain that to us on Feb. 15. Jacqueline Hohmann, Cloverdale [Note: A fuller version of this letter and others are online at www.langleyadvance.com. Click on Opinion.]

Comparing the loss of life at Bhopal in mere casualty numbers is another crass example of the source of our problem. Counting bodies like dollars and writing them off as collateral damage is not something we need to be faced with in Canada. It shouldn’t take 10,000 people dying to prove my point. No, I have not spent time in the Fort McMurray area. And who would want to? I wouldn’t want to be down wind or down river anywhere near that hot mess. I didn’t run tests, certified scientists did, and their findings were presented in a movie screened at Kwantlen University here in Langley. It takes several times the energy to cook the petroleum out of the tar sands that it used to. And if anyone thinks an oil fire burns hot, wait until we get an LNG tanker or pipeline explosion on film. I wonder what Mr. Brenan will say when China wrecks its last two usable rivers and comes here for ours. Danny A. Halmo, Langley [Note: A fuller version of this letter and others are online at www.langleyadvance.com. Click on Opinion.]

Racoon killed by shameful driver

Dear Editor, I saw the pick-up slow as the family of raccoons crossed Fraser Highway near Murrayville. Imagine my shock when I saw one raccoon come rolling out from under the truck, while another ran for its life, right in front of my van. I managed to miss it, but when I went back, its sister lay dead on the road. I don’t know what happened to the third one. Was that driver in such a hurry that he

couldn’t wait for those animals to get across safely? The road on the other side was clear, with me the only one behind him. I know the driver saw them. I know he could have stopped. We have seen this family of raccoons before, and now there is one less. Shame! Brian Webster, Langley For more letters to the editor visit... www.langleyadvance.com – Click on Opinion.

Division requests put aside

by Matthew Claxton

Langley Township councillors chewed over two applications to subdivide properties in the Salmon River Uplands. Township staff recommended against both projects at the Feb. 3 meeting.

One was denied, while another was referred for a second look. Robert Robinson asked council to allow him to subdivide his property at 24200 63rd Ave. He plans to continue living on one property while selling the other, allowing him to continue staying there in his later years. “I’m heading for my 80th birth-

day,” Robinson said. Gloria Stelting expressed concern about impact on the Hopington Aquifer, and council ultimately voted 8-1 against the subdivision. A similar project, at 23427 50th Ave., came with plans to use green technology to recycle water. Wes Day, whose wife grew up on the property, told council that

grey water recovery will reduce the amount of water drawn from the wells that will feed both houses. Councillor Grant Ward favoured granting a variance and allowing a subdivision, while other councillors wanted more information. A 6-3 vote saw the matter referred for more information. • More online at www.langleyadvance.com

Gas bars going up and down in town

It’s been a while since I’ve focused on the eastern end of town and the business happenings out there, so here’s a little sampling. For those in town who tend – as I do – to head to the Shell station on the Aldergrove and Abbotsford border for cheap gasoline, you’ve probably already noticed there’s a lot of construction on that site, Roxanne Hooper including the expansion of rhooper@langleyadvance.com the car wash and the addition of a new Starbucks at that same corner. Likewise, at the intersection of 264th Street and Fraser Highway, a “for lease” sign has been erected, indicating the old Husky gas station site might soon be converted into a large strip mall. And speaking of gas bars, have you notice the former gas station and Evergreen Market at 248th Street and 56th Avenue has come tumbling down... I’ll be keeping an eye peeled to see what might be erected in its place. The Township couldn’t shed any light on the plans for that site, just yet. Keeping on the gas theme, here’s one for some of the old-timers like me in town, who can remember a day when there was a gas station (a Chevron) at 240th Street and Fraser Highway. Again, another “for lease” sign has gone up on that corner, which might just be wishful thinking on the part of that landowner. And again, on the subject of gas, Imperial Oil (which flies the Esso banner) seems to be coming along swimmingly with the construction of its newest gas station at the corner of Glover Road and Langley Bypass. Ideal location, one might say, given all the work underway in that area to turn it into a luxury auto mall (with BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and even the new Porsche dealership on its way by fall). And just a little north on Glover, at 216th Street, rumours are flying that some land has recently been sold and that a new Shell station and Timmy’s is going to be setting up shop there. Okay, I’ve expended all my “gas” news for now.

Networking remains priority for chamber

Tuesday will mark the monthly chamber of commerce meeting at Cascades Casino, but there are also a few other networking opportunities on the calendar for this month, in which business operators might be anxious to partake. You might recall me mentioning the first chamber open house being held in Langley City on Thursday, Feb. 20, at the My Thai Restaurant, 20542 Fraser Hwy., from 4 to 6 p.m. Then, the next networking open house is geared at South Langley businesses (Murrayville, Brookswood, and Fernridge) is being hosted Thursday, Feb. 27, again from 4 to 6 p.m. at Ocean Park Pizza & Steakhouse on 40th Avenue in Brookswood. While the latter two events are free, people must RSVP by calling 604-530-6656, or email info@langleychamber. com. And, by the by, there’s a marketing workshop on the books for Feb. 27.

Jackie and Michelle Duckett spent Family Day painting lanterns for the festival. (Below) Nathan and Abby Charlesworth also went to the workshop.

by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

ach paper lantern is festooned with oneof-a-kind decorations. Yet when 150 of them are displayed together, as they will be at the third annual Langley Lantern Festival, they create a singular artwork. The lantern festival is a way for Langley to celebrate Asian culture and is based around a display of the iconic paper lanterns. “I was just thinking, when they’re all together, it just creates that sense of community,” said Rosemary Wallace, a City councillor and head of the Langley Arts Council. The decorated lanterns are courtesy of the community. In preparation for the festival, the arts council has supervised lantern decorating at various venues, including Harrison Landing seniors complex, Langley Secondary School, a couple of elementary school classes and the Family Day public workshop. Wallace explained that the goal is to have lanterns from various age groups, and those who decorated

the lanterns can end up with a keepsake. “They get to take their lanterns back [after the festival],” she said. The festival is a joint effort between Langley City and the Langley Arts Council, and because they cover most of the costs (the Family Day lantern painting workshop cost $5), the event is free for the public. The festival takes place 7-9 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 22 at the Douglas Recreation Centre, 20550 Douglas Cres. Last year about 125 people attended and more are expected as the event increases in popularity. “If it keeps growing, definitely we’ll need a larger venue,” Wallace said. In addition to the lanterns, organizers have arranged entertainment (music and dance), and it’s been spaced out during the event so people can come and go and still not miss out. There will also be international cuisine to try and a small exhibit of Asian-inspired art.

The public is invited to the third annual Lantern Festival on Feb. 22.

hat do a French hot club jazz group, a Canadian unsung guitar guru, and a veteran finger-style guitarist have in common? They’re the headliners in a guitar festival in Langley this week. For the 17th year running, Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) is hosting the Fraser Valley Acoustic Guitar Festival at the Langley campus. The first two days (Thursday and Friday) are filled with student workshops, followed by a public concert on Saturday night. Van Django, a four-man acoustic string ensemble of some of Canada’s most talented and eclectic musicians; Ari Lahdekorpi, a journeyman guitarist who has worked with numerous blues legends and pop crooners; and Kent Hillman, a musician who plays jazz, classical, and South American music, will perform at the Saturday event, announced organizer and event founder Don Hlus, an instructor at KPU since the school’s music department opened in 1993. “Most people are sur17th annual Fraser Valley prised that these interAcoustic Guitar Festival nationally acclaimed artists Kwantlen Polytechnic University would travel to the Fraser Langley campus Valley to play a show, but Saturday, Feb. 15, 7:30 p.m. these same artists love to Tickets: www.kpu.ca/guitar introduce their music to new audiences,” Hlus said. “It is such a thrill for them and to those who attend. And it is all happening right in our backyard.” Hlus founded the event to entertain and inspire the Valley’s music community, and to give high school and post-secondary music students a chance to work with, and learn from, internationally and locally distinguished artists. “The idea behind the guitar festival came in conversations with several high school guitar instructors over 17 years ago,” Hlus explained. “Collectively, we wanted to create an opportunity for young musicians to see the artistic and creative potential within themselves. We also wanted the opportunity to support that creative development in others… In the fifth year, my phone started ringing off the hook because people in the community were hearing about these world-class guitarists coming to the valley and wanted an opportunity to hear them in their own backyard. And that is how the evening concert came into being.” This year’s festival, themed The Gut, is being held in the university’s Langley auditorium at 20901 Langley Bypass, starting at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15. Tickets are $20/adults or $15/students and seniors in advance (online at www.brownpapertickets.com/ event/530313) or an extra $5 at the door.

What to do

Love is in the air, Langley Here’s some of the local activities happening for Valentine’s Day around Langley. Fort Langley has a brand new dineand-tour program, Pioneering Love, created especially for the most memorable Valentine’s Day celebration. Couples will be treated to a hearty meal inside the historic site with atmospheric live music. After the meal, there will be an interpreter-led walking tour highlighting Fort Langley’s rich tales of love. The evening will finish around a cozy fire. Tickets are priced at $45 (plus service charges) a person and are available at

http://fortlangleypioneeringlove.bpt.me. Tickets are still available for the Feb. 14 event. The Feb. 15 tickets are sold out. At the Greater Vancouver Zoo, there’s a PG-rated event on Feb. 14, 15 and 16. The Love Bus Tour runs at 12:30, 2:30 and if needed 3:30 p.m. when zoo experts will tell people about the love lives of the animals at the zoo. This may not be appropriate for children who can do crafts on those dates at the zoo’s indoor learning centre. People must reserve a spot on the bus tour at the front gate when they pay admission. And the Trinity Western University women’s and men’s basketball teams take on the University of the Fraser Valley on Feb. 14, hopefully not showing them much love.

The Langley City Volunteer Banquet was held Feb. 9. Langley City Councillor Rosemary Wallace included a segment in her speech about the role of love in volunteering, in both the love volunteers show for their community by helping others and the affection of the community for volunteers for all their efforts. See more on the volunteer banquet on page A3.

Arts in brief

Langley Players’ bus not quite ready to stop, yet by Roxanne Hooper

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

he popularity of the Langley Players’ rendition of Bus Stop has prompted local thespians to hold over the show. The play will run an extra week, show producer Marjorie Van Roon announced. Audiences may remember Bus Stop as a Marilyn Monroe movie, in which she played a delightfully naive floozy who was hotly pursued by an equally naive cowboy to a snowbound bus stop in Kansas. Well, it’s now a play being brought alive on the Langley Playhouse stage by a large cast of Langley actors, including Sheila Greentree, Peter Godard, Joe Tenta, Dayna Thomas, and former native Darcy Knopp, as well as a few out-of-towners. “This delightful play has been drawing sell-out crowds since opening night so we are extending the run,” said Van Roon. “This will give the people who couldn’t get tickets the opportunity to come to the Playhouse and spend the evening with the down-home characters

from Kansas on the beautiful 1955 set that is Grace’s Diner,” Von Roon said. The show, which opened Jan. 23 and was set to close Feb. 22, has been extended four days: Feb. 23, 27, 28, and March 1. Tickets are $15 and available by calling 604534-7469, emailing reservations@langleyplayers.com, or online at www.brownpapertickets.com/producer/133005.

McDougall explained. “We’re really excited about it,” she said, noting the sessions will run 6 to 8 p.m. Depending on how many performers show up, artists

will be limited to two songs or 10 minutes per person. In the meantime, Wired Monk Coffee Bistro in Murrayville is resurrecting its open mic night after a bit of a hiatus.

The coffee house at 222nd Street and 48th Avenue has been hosting open mic events since the gathering place opened about a decade ago. It is being revived start-

ing on Thursday, Feb. 20, and expected to continue every Thursday for the foreseeable future, said Wired Monk staff. Their sessions run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Open mics revived

series of open mic nights are being kicked off next week in Langley, one being hosted in the centre of Langley City and the other being hosted in Murrayville. Langley Arts Council was holding an open mic event in the gallery space downtown in past. But Frosting Cupcakery owner Melanie McDougall explained that this venue wasn’t ideal as an entertainment spot. After some discussions, Frosting and LAC decided to collaborate. The new, revived Tuesday night open mic events kick off at the 204th Street bakery next Tuesday, and will be hosted the first and third Tuesday of every month,

the work completed by April. “We are excited to launch this community music project in Langley,” said Marcel Bergmann, LCMS director of program advancement and OperaTion Youth project co-director. “This is a unique opportunity for young people to be involved in a creative project from its inception, collaborating with an array

of professionals and other young artists.” One or more stories will be chosen through a competitive process, and selected young writers will have the opportunity to work closely with a professional librettist to develop their story into an opera/ musical theatre piece. The production will be adapted to the submissions received – whether ultimately a single multi-act

opera or up to three short one act operas. Once the libretto(s) are complete, young composers will also be selected through a competitive process, and will work with a professional composer to develop their scores. There will be a cash award presented to the selected writers and composers. Four performances are planned for May 2015 to

coincide with B.C. Youth Week. Performances will take place in LCMS’ Rose Gellert Hall. OperaTion Youth includes project co-directors Marcel Bergmann and Elizabeth Bergmann; Kico Gonzalez-Risso, librettist/ director; and Joel Stobbe, conductor. The call for entries is open to B.C. residents between the ages of 12 and 24. Interested indi-

viduals must submit an expression of interest to LCMS including a cover letter with their contact information and age, story outline and a 250-word summary by Feb. 28. The story will be based on a socially relevant theme and will be suitable for a family audience. Applicants must attend a March 15 workshop at LCMS with the librettist.

he prolific Broadway duo of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II served as a huge influence for Langley’s own Kaylee Harwood, who recently returned to the Lower Mainland to participate in a tribute revue for two men. Without question – Rodgers & Hammerstein made up one of the most influential writing teams of the 20th century. They created such celebrated musicals as Oklahoma!, The King & I, South Pacific,

Carousel, and Sound of Music. And it was the work of this pair that helped guide the former Langley Fine Arts School and Trinity Western University student into a career on stage. In fact, she credits them with playing an enormous role in her growth as an actor. So from the stages of Broadway, where she starred in the Tony-nominated revival of Jesus Christ Superstar, Harwood is back home this month as part of the five-member cast starring in a Vancouver revue called Rodgers & Hammerstein: Out of a Dream. Harwood said she’s psyched to be taking the audience on a nostalgic journey

Tools and tricks

Useful gimmicks provide gardeners pest protection

ver the years, I’ve tried out all kinds of gardening extras. Some I still cherish, others not so much, while a few more would likely be perfect for someone with a different type of garden and very diligent habits. For instance, slug saloons, designed to invite the slimy critters to drink their way into a happy demise, are now manufactured in a larger size and with more apertures, capable of holding 40 bodies in a single night. Forgetting to check slug saloons every day can lead to experiences best forgotten. A totally beautiful slug shield is a scramble of woven copper wire which you wrap around the plant that you want to protect, and can unwrap when necessary. It would be important to keep up to date with weeding, because slugs are quick to cross plant “bridges.” Another lovely garden accessory is the fake wasp nest, said to deter wasps from buildings nearby. Regardless of how far away the real wasps would relocate, the make-believe nest is definitely worth a spot in the garden (or over a doorway) for attractiveness alone. Another good-looking addition to the garden is an expanding willow-wood trellis that would be a sturdy support for those fascinating but annoying heritage beans – the scrambling types that are not

sturdy enough to be dwarf beans, but too short to be pole beans. The trellis is also a simple, easy support for cucumbers or short peas. Sometimes peas are planted thickly and left to support each other – and united, they do stand. But picking pods out of such a tangle takes a lot more time than trellising the plants. The willow trellis comes in two sizes, expanding to either 1.6 metres (four feet) or 3.1m (eight feet). Both are 1.6m high. One of my favourite accessories is a heating mat for starting seeds quickly by providing bottom heat. My elderly and so-useful mat is about 25x50 centimetres (10x20 inches), but there’s now a windowsill version that measures about 6x50cm about (3x20 inches). Flexible, light Tubtrugs, available in a variety of colours, look like an improvement on my random collection of detergent buckets, spackle pails, and other clunky old cast-offs. Each Tubtrug has two handles, and can be squeezed narrow to pour liquids. There are small (14 litre), medium (26 litre), and large (38 litre) versions. Topsy Turvey tomato (or strawberry) planters have become very popular. These hanging pots with flowers and fruit cascading down the sides make the tomatoes easy to pick, and their high, sunny locations result in more fruit, because of their visibility to pollinating insects. Seniors might want to make sure

they’re strong enough to hang up such planters in spring and take them down

in fall. It’s also helpful to stick to a lightweight soil mix in the pots. Netting is a universal way of protecting berries and vegetables from birds and animals. But sadly, birds are especially likely to get tangled in it. Freeing birds from such netting can be difficult, and sometimes heart-breaking. Smaller mesh sizes keep birds safer, while still being excellent deterrents. Mesh sizes of about 1.5cm (half-inch) are available. The black Bird D-Fence netting is especially effective over pools. In shady areas, it’s almost invisible.

Moderation the key

LangleyAdvance

Fat fine – in reasonable portions

guide to

accredited collision repairs...

Allstar Collision Services Ltd. 19574 – 60 Ave., Surrey, B.C. V3S 8E2

am a big advocate for using fat in cooking. At my cooking classes or cooking shows you will hear me chanting, “Fat is flavour; fat is moisture; fat is your friend.” I even take it a step further, by joking, “My title is not ‘doctor,’ ‘dietician,’ or ‘nutritionist’ – my title is ‘chef.’” But I always take a moment from this celebration of fat to mention moderation. Moderation truly is the key. Just because I may demonstrate an incredible-tasting recipe loaded with fat and calories, it does not mean that I expect you to eat like that on a regular basis. Those types of recipes are meant to be illustrated as your “go to” formula for a special occasion, when you want to “wow” someone with your cooking. Having a background myself of having to deal with being overweight as a child and young adult,

I know that it is not the preferred way to journey through life. Today, with a balanced diet and my best efforts at a regular exercise routine, I have more energy and feel better than I ever did in my younger years. The main difference, more than any time prior in my life, is that I now celebrate all foods, not just the fatty and calorie-laden ones. There is flavour to be found in all types of ingredients, recipes, and cuisines, and to find greatness in your regular diet is to rejoice in variety and moderation. Moderation includes both restriction and portion size. Eating forbidden foods (everyone’s idea of “forbidden” is different, so I leave it to you to define) does not have to be daily (restriction) or it should be a small amount (portion size). Whether you practice restriction and/or portion size will depend

Rivermen keep rolling as regular season winds down Back-to-back weekend wins over the Vernon Vipers improves Langley’s record to a BCHL-best 32-12-2-5. by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com

The Langley Rivermen bucked a trend Saturday in Vernon. By beating the host Vernon Vipers 5-2 at Kal Tire Place, the ‘Men – for the first time nearly a month – won a game that was decided by more than one goal. With the win, the Mainland Divisionleading Rivermen improved their record to a B.C. Hockey League-best 32-12-2-5, while the Vipers (25-16-3-4) continue to sit third in the Interior Division. “At this point, a win’s a win,”

Langley’s Austin Azurdia opened the scoring on a Langley powerplay with just 32 seconds to play in the opening frame. After a goal-less second period, the Vipers’ Demico Hannoun scored, unassisted, at the 14:34 mark of the third stanza to tie the game and eventually earn the Vipers an overtime point. Henderson said the Rivermen are “excited to play in overtime.” “A lot of teams are nervous, maybe squeezing their sticks, but our guys thriving [in that situation] right now,” he said.

The Western Lacrosse Association’s top pick in its 2014 entry draft is spending the winter playing pro lacrosse in Langley and across North America. Vancouver Stealth second year transition player Tyler Garrison was selected first overall by the Coquitlam Adanacs in this past Wednesday’s (Feb. 5) WLA draft at the Langley Events Centre. A 6’2” 200-pound right-hander, Garrison is quite familiar with the LEC. He and his Stealth teammates play their home games there, after the National Lacrosse League franchise relocated to Langley from Everett, Wash., over the summer. A total of three Stealth players including Garrison were selected in the first two rounds of the WLA draft. Sean Lundstrom was taken eighth overall by the New Westminster Salmonbellies and Chris Wardle was picked 11th overall by his hometown team, the Victoria Shamrocks. Garrison played all three years of junior A lacrosse with the Coquitlam Adanacs, collecting 54

points (33 goals and 21 assists) in 45 regular season games. This past summer Garrison captained his team to a B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League title, beating the New Westminster Salmonbellies 3-2 in the best-of-five series. The win earned his team a trip to the 2013 Minto Cup national championship, where they were defeated by their crosstown rival Salmonbellies in the semifinals. Garrison is now in his second year with the Stealth and this year he’s taken on a new role in the face-off circle. He’s won 45.6 per cent of his face-offs so far and that number continues to go up game by game. Lundstrom, meanwhile, is coming off a solid season with the Langley Jr. Thunder, collecting 67 points (29 goals, 38 assists) in his final year. In four years of junior A

lacrosse, all with the Jr. Thunder, Lundstrom suited up for 60 regular season games, posting 59 goals and 115 assists for 174 points. Wardle also enjoyed an impressive season by scoring 90 points (46 goals, 44 assists) in 21 games for the Victoria Shamrocks junior A squad. Wardle played his entire junior career with the Shamrocks registering 144 points (68 goals, 76 assists) in 52 regular season games. Both Lundstrom and Wardle are in their NLL rookie seasons with the Stealth after making the team during training camp back in December. Wardle was drafted 54th overall by the Stealth in the 2013 NLL Entry Draft and Lundstrom played his way into training camp after getting identified at the Stealth’s free agent camp.

Vancouver’s offence came alive in the second half, but it wasn’t enough as the Stealth fell 10-9 to the Colorado Mammoth Saturday at the Langley Events Centre.

The Vancouver Stealth are struggling. The positivity that came from winning two of three games to open their National Lacrosse League season has pretty much evaporated. Since their last win, a 14-13 overtime triumph over the visiting Colorado Mammoth Jan. 17 at the Langley Events Centre, the Stealth have dropped five in a row, and with a 2-6 record, are hunkered in the basement of the NLL’s four-team West Division standings. Both Stealth wins have come against NLL lightweights Minnesota Swarm (1-5) and the Mammoth (4-5). The Mammoth added to the Stealth’s woes on Saturday, downing Vancouver 10-9 in front of 3,614 fans at the LEC. The Mammoth, who won their third game in a row, took a 2-1 season series lead over Vancouver with all three games being decided by just one goal. Early on it was a goalie showdown as only four goals were scored in the entire first half. And the Stealth’s offensive struggles continued. With leading scorer Rhys Duch out of the lineup due to a one-game suspension after being assessed with a cross-checking major on Jan. 25, Vancouver only managed one goal in the first half of play. A few of Vancouver’s top offensive players, including lefty Lewis Ratcliff, who only managed one assist, were held goal-less. Tyler Richards stopped 18 of 21 shots for the Stealth and Dillon Ward stopped 22 of 23 shots for the Mammoth.

LEC site of memorial meet A gymnastics meet that honours the memory of a young girl who loved the sport is being held this weekend at the Langley Events Centre. The Christy Fraser Memorial Invitational goes Friday to Sunday (Feb. 14-16) at the LEC. The meet is held annually to honour Christy Fraser, an avid gymnast until her death on Aug. 5, 1992 at the age of 12. Upon her passing, a memorial fund was set up in Christy’s name. While funding badly needed equipment for B.C. Children’s Hospital, it also helped Langley Gymnastics Foundation acquire some of the equipment used by its athletes today.

Dumitru Avarvarei, head coach and technical director of LGF which is hosting the meet, said the event will attract more than 25 clubs and roughly 650 male and female gymnasts from across B.C. Athletes range from the KIP level to national stream. “We’re very excited to be hosting one of the best competitions in B.C.,” Avarvarei said. The meet starts at 2:30 p.m. Friday, 8 a.m. Saturday, and 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Price of admission is $5 for adults, $10 for a family of four (maximum four adults) and children under the age of 16 get in for free.

Rivermen’s team defence stingy …continued from page A29 Team defence, goaltending, and particularly scoring balance have been keys to the ’Men’s success throughout the season. After captain Mitch McLain (21 goals, 55 points), the team’s second leading point getter is James Robinson, with 15 goals and 40 points in 37 games. Those two are followed by Matt Ustaski and Cook (39 points each), Jakob Reichert (38 points), Azurdia (37 points) and import rookie defencemen Chris Forney (28 points, including 25 assists) and Tony Bretzman (23 points). “We knew coming out of the gate that we might not have a 35 goal-scorer but we would have a lot of guys in the 15, 16goal range and around the 40 point mark. If we’d have five or six guys around 40 points, we’d be in a good spot.” With 136 goals allowed in 51 games, the Rivermen are third in the BCHL in team defence behind Penticton (120 goals against) and Prince George (135). Goaltender Brock Crossthwaite is having a fine season with a 21-8 record, three shutouts, a 2.37 goals against average, and a .915 save percentage.

Speaking about the Rivermen’s team defence, Henderson said, “It’s been a key to our success and it starts from our goalies on out. Both goalies have been great. Brock’s been strong over the course of the season and [recently acquired] Lyndon [Stanwood] has won the majority of the games he’s played [with us].” On the back end, the Rivermen have a blend of skill and toughness, in Henderson’s opinion. “The makeup of our back end is, we have guys who can really scoot and move the puck, and guys who are bigger bodies. They’re all good skaters. We have a mobile group who have the ability to take away time and ice. That makes them tough to play against.” ICE CHIPS: The Rivermen have seven games to go in their regular season and will spend the next couple days in Prince George, where they’ll be playing back-toback games against their Mainland rivals, the Spruce Kings, tonight and Friday. Prince George (29-16-3-2) sits second behind Langley in the Mainland standings, eight points back of the Rivermen with a game in hand.

The Langley Thunder are hoping seven is their lucky number, after adding local talent to their lineup at the Western Lacrosse Association draft held Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre. The Thunder took seven players, led by 5’11” forward Quinn Smith, who was their first pick, 22nd overall. The Thunder had to wait until the fourth round to make their first selection at the draft, and they selected Smith, who played last season with the New Westminster Salmonbellies of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League. Smith finished ninth in league scoring with 76 points (27 goals, 49 assists). The Thunder then selected forward Adam Will 29th overall. Will put up 52 points (23 goals, 29 assists) with the Langley Jr. Thunder last season and was fourth on the team in points. With the Thunder’s next pick, they went back to the Langley Jr. Thunder, selecting Nathan Henare 42nd overall. Henare, also a Langley native, registered five goals, two assists, and 36 penalty minutes last season with the Jr. Thunder. In the seventh round (49th overall), the Thunder took Nash Harrison of the Port Coquitlam Saints of the BCJALL. The 6’1” lefty had 43 points (18 goals and 25 assists) in 2013. Included in those totals were eight power play goals in just 13 games last season. The Thunder went on to select Mike Bosch of the Jr. Thunder at 49th overall. Bosch played in 12 games last season and collected 62 penalty minutes. With the Thunder’s next pick they went back to the Jr. Thunder, selecting Keenan Staples 63rd overall. Staples played in 13 games as a call-up last season. In the final round and the last pick of the 2014 WLA draft the Thunder selected goaltender Garrett Spann 70th overall. Spann played in 21 games for the Port Coquitlam Jr. A Saints and had a .749 save percentage in 2013. The seven new draftees now join a Thunder team that will be looking to get back to the Mann Cup in 2014, after a one-year absence. Last September, the Thunder failed in their bid to make it three Mann Cup appearances after losing in the WLA final to the Victoria Shamrocks. The first game for the Thunder is May 17 in Coquitlam and their 2014 home debut at the LEC is May 28 against the Maple Ridge Burrards.
