A manhunt was underway Wednesday for a Langley man who allegedly attacked his family and burned down their home. Police dubbed the incident a case of attempted murder. A woman and two children survived the early morning attack, thought to be committed by the woman’s estranged husband. Just after 1 a.m., a man broke into the home in the 19600 block of Wakefield Drive and started a fire, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The man then entered the wife’s bedroom and attacked her with a weapon, striking her in the head. The victim’s daughter tried to intervene and was hit in the chest, Marks said. Police are still trying to determine exactly what weapon was used in the attack. The woman, her daughter and son were able to escape the home before the fire fully consumed it. All three victims were taken to the hospital to be treated for nonlife threatening injuries. Marks said the woman was alert and awake after the assault. Police are not saying at which hospital the victims are being treated. Police were initially uncertain if the attacker had been killed in the three-alarm blaze that seriously damaged the Langley Meadows home.

Langley has its own transitional housing shelter for women and children, through the Ishtar Transition Housing Society. There are also a number of other such facilities, usually at confidential locations, across Metro Vancouver. “More often than not, transition houses in the Lower Mainland are full,” said Kerner. Calls to groups like Vancouver Rape Relief will be answered, Kerner said, and the society will find somewhere safe for any caller by the end of the day. Sometimes women choose to go to a shelter in another community to be farther away from their domestic abuser, Kerner said. For local assistance, women can call 24 hours a day to the Ishtar Transition House at 604530-9442 or the Libra Transition House at 604-857-5797. Vancouver Rape Relief has a similar confidential line at 604872-8212.

Coulter Berry to fill Heritage Hole
The Coulter Berry saga reached a conclusion at the council table Monday night. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The so-called Heritage Hole will soon be a work site, as Langley Township council passed third reading of bylaws to allow creation of the Coulter Berry building in Fort Langley. Only Councillors Bob Long and David Davis opposed the three-storey building planned for the corner of Mavis Avenue and Glover Road. “It seems to me that Fort Langley is split right down the middle on this one,” said Coun. Kim Richter.

Greenhouse fire
Stored contents burned
A propane tank blew up during a fire at a Langley greenhouse complex. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Firefighters fight cancer with daffodils
Chloe and Kim Adams picked up daffodil pins at the SaveOn Foods in Willoughby on the weekend, in support of the Canadian Cancer Society. Jason Hodge and Terry Litven were two of the firefighters who raised more than $2,100 in the Township of Langley Firefighters Charitable Society’s effort to help the CCS fundraising.
A greenhouse was destroyed by fire in rural Langley on Tuesday evening. The fire in the 3600 block of 224th Street broke out at around 5:30 p.m., said Langley Township Fire Department assistant chief Bruce Ferguson. The aluminum-framed and plastic-sided greenhouse wasn’t being used for grow-
ing plants at the time the fire broke out, but it was being used to store a number of tractors, forklifts, and fertilizer, Ferguson said. The fire did about $40,000 in structural damage and perhaps $200,000 in damage to the stored equipment that was destroyed. Three fire halls were called in to fight the blaze, including tankers transporting water from the nearest hydrants. A propane tank inside the greenhouse exploded during the fire, but no one was hurt, Ferguson said. The cause of the fire isn’t yet known.

Developments ended well
Some people will be astonished, others will shrug a so-what shrug, and still others will never be satisfied. But the past months of furor over development proposals for Fort Langley and Brookswood/Fernridge are finally at an end – and both, though they ended differently, have probably ended exactly the way they should. It turns out that the process didn’t work so badly, after all. Democracy survives, a little battered, a little bruised, but relatively unscathed. And if rational heads dare to prevail in both areas, any healing needed is likely to be quick… and complete. Fort Langley’s heritage proponents’ concerns have been duly noted. And in the eyes of the majority, they have been reasonably addressed. By all accounts, the Coulter Berry building is likely to become the centrepiece of the village, and not only for its sheer size (which will undoubtedly rankle with some folks for as long as they care to be obstinate about it), but for the progressive design and styling that made the proposal attractive to the solid majority of residents who stood up in its support. Surely, even its detractors will have to admit that it will be an improvement over the “heritage hole” created by a delaying lawsuit. Meanwhile, the citizens of Brookswood and Fernridge who less stridently, but with equal strength of purpose built a rational and formidable opposition to a proposal that a solid majority found unpalatable, persevered in turning away development that they simply did not want. Not everybody is entirely happy with the results. But the Township council is to be commended for not drawing out the process any longer, and making decisions that, in the final analysis, make sense for both of the affected communities. It’s democracy: words have been spoken, and elected officials have taken responsibility for the final outcome. Now it’s time for neighbours – and in many cases, old friends – to shake hands and unruffle some feathers. – B.G.

Development decisions right
Dear Editor, My husband Lloyd and I attended Monday’s meeting of Township council. As we listened to our elected mayor and councillors, Letters we realized how much they to the all had listened to us (the public) when we spoke our hearts out at the public meetings that went into the Editor wee hours. All our elected officials at the meeting spoke about how the people of Bookswood, Fort Langley, and Langley, as one, are so proud to live and work here, as they are. And that is why the council meeting was so important. We think they made the right decisions for Brookswood and Fort Langley. We are proud to live here and proud of whom we have elected.

Emergency services
Too many firefighters too expensive
Dear Editor, The Langley City Fire Department currently they runs five guys on a shift, most of the times four, when someone is on vacation or sick.
The majority of calls they go to are medical assists, very few fires, and the statistics will show that. I agree that this is a very important part of our city, and we have some very well
Afghanistan
Troops abandoned by Harper
Dear Editor, What Peter MacKay and other Tories really wish is that they, the Harper government, never sent our military to Afghanistan in the first place. Stephen Harper’s rush to join the British and Americans in a predictably impossible war in Afghanistan, and our heads-lowered retreat 12 years later has made us losers for the first time. To rub salt in our self-inflicted wound, the Harper government is now abandoning our returning troops at the hospital door. James Charles, Langley
trained professional firefighters (full time) backed up by volunteer firefighters, but the expense is out of this world. Why doesn’t the City cut back to four on each shift, or even three? There are the volunteers to pull from, and mutual aid from Surrey and the Township of Langley. There is a mutual aid agreement. I am wondering if the IAFF firefighters union is pushing the City around, or what? I am expecting the union to reply to this, but don’t let their explanations fool you. It’s a no-brainer: cut back to three or four; it will work just fine, and save the taxpayers lots of money. J. Jordan, Langley City
Youth involvement
Fundraising events beat begging
Dear Editor, It is refreshing to see children in groups putting on fundraising events to raise money for their cause. Whether it’s Girl Guides selling cookies, a sports
team selling hot dogs, Brownies selling apples, or others holding car washes, they are not only offering a product or service in exchange for a donation to their particular need,
Transit authority
Mayors on hook for TransLink
Dear Editor, The region’s mayors have what they wished for: they wanted more influence over TransLink, and they got it. Now the public will hold them accountable for TransLink. Fare hikes, asset sales, complaint oversight, executive salaries, strategic planning, and recommendations for new taxes are now firmly in the mayors’ control. It’s up to them to walk their big talk on TransLink. The mayors’ first order of business should be slashing executive salaries. TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis is the highestsalaried local government employee in B.C., at $394,730. He makes $88,000 more than his counterpart in Toronto, $97,000 more than Montreal’s CAO, $203,000 more than King County’s boss, and $166,000 more than Portland’s transit head. Before there’s any talk of squeezing taxpayers for more dollars, executive pay, inefficiencies, and TransLink management fiefdoms must be addressed.

they are learning to work together with others to meet a goal – all part of learning life skills. What distresses me is when I see able-bodied boys in cadet uniforms standing outside retail outlets with a tin can, soliciting donations. Even squeegee kids give something in return. This does nothing except instill a sense of entitlement that the world owes them a living, as they stand there like homeless people begging for money. Those in charge need to come up with something else that gives these kids a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day, that they can take with them through adulthood.

What’s in
Private party marks opening of revamped space Let’s hope the nice weather holds out for Saturday night and the official re-opening of McBurney Plaza. After what seemed like endless months of renovations and upheaval at the downtown Langley landmark, work finally wrapped up on the revamping late last summer. Now, to celebrate its completion as an outdoor park space in the centre of the core, the City is holding a private party in the public space this weekend – complete with entertainment and artists. This event will be a way to showcase what the space can be used for, the opening complete with entertainment and artists, said the Dowtown business group’s executive director and City councillor Teri James.
DYI expert heard on radio
Speaking of McBurney Plaza, there’s some cool news about Passionate Home owner Carrie Thachuk. Her talents refurbishing furniture and decorating has earned her a weekly spot on the air waves – however brief.
Thachuk announced she’ll be sharing advise and tips on how to recreate those expensive looks all on their own via 650AM. Thachuk is going to be joining Tom Lucas, the host of Radio Real Estate Show, every Saturday morning between 10 and 11 a.m. The show discusses all things real estate, including topics such as buying and sharing her DIY tips and answering questions. And for only two or three minutes during each Carrie Thachuk The Passionate Home of the weekend shows, Thachuk will be inspiring and encouraging people to scour their homes and local thrift stores and garage sales for those perfect pieces to refinish.

Emergency services
9-1-1 open to texts Hard of hearing residents can now text their emergency requests to 9-1-1.
Until recently, police and other emergency service providers asked people not to text 9-1-1 in an emergency. However, a new service will allow Deaf, hard of hearing, and speech impaired people to access emergency services through text messages. The new T9-1-1 service is offered through E-Comm, emergency phone system that services southwestern British Columbia. To use the service, a Deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired person needs a phone capable of both texting and voice communication. They can then register that phone at textwith911.ca/wireless-service-providers/. In an emergency, they dial 9-1-1 like any other caller to establish a voice connection. The 9-1-1 operators should call back in under two minutes. Once the text communication has started, E-Comm operators will ask typical questions about whether police, fire, or ambulance is needed, location, name, and the type of incident. Messages should be kept short and the caller should not hang up while texting. An “End of 9-1-1 Call” text will be sent to let the person know the call has finished. Calls to 9-1-1 viat the TTY system will also continue to be accepted.

‘Backstage babe’ helps direct comedy With a baby strapped to her back, new mother Angela Bell serves double duty for Light Sensitive. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com
S
ince Griffin BellFallis was in the womb, he’s been immersed in community theatre. Now, coming up on six months of age, he’s already graduated to co-directing Langley Player’s newest production, Light Sensitive, which opens next week. This young thespian is the lone offspring of selfproclaimed theatre fanatic Angela Bell. She’s been working on and off stage since she started high school (actually even before that, putting on shows for family and friends) and active with her hometown Langley Players drama club for the past decade. In fact, Bell, 42, has volunteered in pretty much every position imaginable with the local theatre group, from being on stage in lead and supporting roles, to building props, providing lighting and sound support, serving up refreshments during intermission, filling the president’s chair for three years, participating in play
selections, designing and making costumes, helping promote shows, designing programs and posters, and even overseeing ticket reservations. Any job: Bell is in. And many of those roles have actually earned her regional and provincial awards. This time out, she’s serving as director. “Theatre is my life. I can’t live without it. I don’t know what I would do,” Bell said. So when she learned she and her boyfriend Brent were going to be parents, Bell said she was insistent their child would become involved, too. But she never expected he’d get so involved, so quickly. Admittedly, Mom said, she was a little nervous about how well Griffin would fit in to the theatre community, given his young age. So, they did a bit of a test drive helping out behind the scenes a bit with the last production – Bus Stop. She was elated with how well Griffin fit in. “He gets it. He’s a theatre baby without question,” said Mom. Fellow actor Diane Gendron said the addition of a baby behind the scenes on this upcoming production has been more uplifting and inspiring than any Players expected. “Angela has been toting around her new son during the entire production.

He has been present for everything from rehearsals, to set building and painting, to lighting and sound design – and has been a welcome source of light for the whole cast and crew,” Gendron said. The production of Jim Geoghan’s bittersweet comedy, Light Sensitive, opens next Thursday, April 17, and Griffin – it’s fair to say – has literally been shadowing his mother during the past three months of preparation for this show. Like his mother, Griffin
is taking on a very active role in the rehearsals, interacting with every member of the crew and cast, most commonly from his perch in a papoose-style carrier strapped to mom’s back. “He’s definitely not afraid of crowds and strangers,” Bell said, unbuckling him and tucking him in for a nap in a baby rocker in between the rows of playhouse during one of the evening rehearsals. “Griffin has become the back stage babe,” she said. “Fortunately, he has a lot
of aunties here and he’s so very easy going, not colicky, not finicky, not really fussy. It’s like he’s at home… He has taken to theatre life very nicely.”
Touched by story
Bell was introduced to Light Sensitive in 2009, when another Player member presented the play to the club for potential inclusion. But, the club was quite “skittish” about the course language, and declined it. Bell, however, said she fell in love with it.
Light Sensitive runs April 17 to May 17, and since this is the Langley Players’ entry for the regional theatre competition this spring, they lower the curtain at the Langley Playhouse and immediately prepare for the regionals in Chilliwack the next day. Tickets are $15 and available from 604-5347469, reservations@langleyplayers.com, or online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/producer/133005.

Now a group of his afterschool improvisors are headed to Ontario for the Canada Improv Games.

Improv requires mental gymnastics
…continued from A10
Grade 12 student Ralie Gasler has been on the improv team about a year. “It scares me,” she said, adding that’s a good thing. “And when I do it, it’s amazing.” She plans to go to acting school in the future and believes the ways improv pushes her to think on her feet is valuable. Twenty schools from across Canada will gather in Ottawa. R.E. Mountain is one of the two qualifying communities from B.C. In addition to the competition, the students will get to attend workshops and see others compete. The eight students on the school team, in Grades 11 and 12, do improv after class. “It’s not ‘we’re just

Riordon Wry, Grade 12, said improv is just plain fun. “It’s like this giant hodge podge,” he said.

Deadhead for blooms through summer Dear Anne,
“I am new to the West Coast. My new home has a potential flower garden which is two feet deep and around 20 feet long, and faces south. So far ,I have planted one blueberry bush and a few daffodil bulbs. “I work long hours, so by the time I get the laundry, cleaning, and groceries done, it’s time to go back to work. What sort of perennials are hardy and slug resistant, yet bloom most of the summer with minimal maintenance?”
T
Janet, Coquitlam
here are perennials that flower almost all summer with very little maintenance. Watering in dry spells is essential for some, but the real key to continuous bloom is regular deadheading. Once a plant sets seed, its life’s purpose is fulfilled – it doesn’t need to keep on flowering. If you never deadhead, plants may change their usual long flowering periods into short ones. If you deadhead several weeks late, plants may try to flower again, but it takes time to form buds, so you’ll get intermit-

tent flushes of bloom. One of the blue-flowered cranesbills (botanically Geranium ‘Rosanne’) is reputed not to need deadheading at all. It’s has beautiful, prolific blooms, is dwarf, and is easy to obtain. Meconopsis cambrica is unusual among perennial poppies. It produces its yellow (sometimes orange) flowers all summer and into frost season, with very little deadheading. But deadhead anyway. Its seedheads spawn endless progeny, and those long taproots are impossible to remove. So pretty… so reliable… so invasive! The daisy family tends to be long-

flowering. One of the longest and brightest sequences is the yellow, brown, and orange mix of Gaillardia, often combined in each flower. Echinacea is another long-blooming daisy, available in pinks, white, orange, and yellow. Rudbeckia contains many species of bright yellow cone-flowers that bloom from July to frost. Heights range from 30 centimetres (one foot) to about two metres (six feet). Knautia offers blood-red scabious blooms (there are pastel forms) all summer. It’s compact in poor soil, an untidy sprawler in rich ground. The alliums (flowering onions) leave behind long-standing flower heads. Two of the more spectacular are Allium christophii and A. schubertii. Globe Thistles (Echinops species) have blue globes, spectacular long after the flowers fade. Sea Hollies Eryngium planum, for instance, has purple flowers, prominent calyxes (like a saucer under a purple cone), with metallic purple stems. Some roses are most reliable. The Flower Carpet series flowers from late spring into late fall (with deadheading). There’s a large colour range in the series and it’s very dwarf, though it spreads widely. Garden centres offer many landscape roses, virtually all long-flowering, though mostly non-fragrant. Technically, sweet alyssum is an annual, but it covers itself with flowers (purple or white) all summer, is fragrant, and seeds itself thickly year after year. It’s very short and never needs deadheading (and you wouldn’t want to, anyway, because it’s too fiddly). About deadheading: it’s easier if the pruners can be hidden somewhere between your gate and your house for deadheading as you approach to your front door. Regular deadheading soon becomes a brief routine. It’s clean work and only a few snips each time. If you deadhead spent flowers before seedheads form, you don’t need to pick up the remains at once. Call it mulch and get it when you can.

The Best of Adrian Raeside comes together in new paperback. by Jean Konda-Witte
news@langleyadvance.com
If you’re a fan of the sardonic humour that is Raeside and enjoy the scrupulous details that offer a stinging buzz on issues of the day, you will love the newly released The Best of Adrian Raeside: A Treasury of BC Cartoons. Fans have clipped their favourite Raeside cartoon for years, but now they will have them all in one place in this latest collection which features more
than 200 of Raeside’s most side-splitting cartoons paired with his wry editorial observations. Adrian Raeside has been penning the Langley Advance’s hilarious and always thoughtprovoking editorial cartoons for decades. This is Raeside’s latest entry in a list of more than a dozen books, a number of which have fetched bestseller status. Like so many of his cartoons, Raeside’s career path took some unusual twists and turns. He has been drawing for as long as he can remem-
ber. But it was a passion that filled his spare time: “I never considered it for a career,” he once said. Fast forward 35 years, dozens of books and hundreds of newspaper cartoons later, Raeside’s genius is his ability to distil any given controversy down to its root issue and deliver a sharp punch of realism and humour that connects with his audience. Whether he’s portraying a reviled politician or a beloved critter, his characters project their personalities through the subtle stroke of Raeside’s pen.

Pakenham Cup
Langley United beats PoMo rival
United they stood, and taking down the Gunners 5-2 in the process. by Jean Konda-Witte news@langleyadvance.com
Langley United came through when it counted, beating Lordco Gunners of Port Moody 5-2 in men’s premier soccer to win their second Pakenham Cup in three years Saturday in Port Moody. “Today was all about team. We needed and received overwhelming support from every player to put our team first,” said head coach Rob Keam. “This [is an] excellent win for Langley United.” As recently as last week, Port Moody secured first place in the league by a single point over Langley United and in head-to-head games this year were 2-1 over the season. “Coming into this game our team was very excited to play Port Moody,” said Keam. “Knowing Port Moody had just won the league over

They met up March 29. us by one point and we had not given PM our best game for the last two games after beating them 5-2 early in the year.” It didn’t take long for Langley to come alive, with the first goal scored in the first minute of play by United’s Rhys Volkenant, assisted by Tyson Keam, off a corner kick.
After Port Moody tied it, Brent Wantke with an assist by Mitchell Rohla, scored at the 75-minute mark. Extra time goals were scored by Tyson Keam, Deven Gilroy (assisted by Paul Ballard) and Colin Jones (assisted by Tyson Keam). The MVP was Tyson Keam. “I have to admit the pres-
sure was on us a bit as our other two Langley United teams won their cup final matches today and we knew we had to do our part for the club to have a great day,” added coach Keam. “I am very pleased for the guys winning their second trophy of the year and beating a very good Port Moody team, who is very disciplined, well run and very well coached.” The win is about more than a trophy or title for the team. “Winning the Pakenham Cup was definitely one of our goals but qualifying for provincials always is our major goal as only the top 16 teams in the province qualify,” said Keam. “It is very rewarding for the many players on our team that have come through the Langley United youth system and although [many] have gone off to play at university, professionals have returned to play and support their home club. To me this shows huge character and understanding of giving back to your club and community.” • More at langleyadvance.com

Langley United 1, Port Moody Gunners 0 In U21 action Langley United shut out the FVSL U21 league champion Port Moody Gunners 1-0 Saturday. “I could not be more happy for our group. This was a whole team effort today,” said coach Paul Ballard. “For us to come away with a victory against a very good Port Moody squad that hadn’t lost all season, is a big accomplishment. We are a young team that experienced some major
growing pains throughout the season, but this game was a testament to our boys work effort and the determination each player had to continually improve. Winning this cup was a team goal for us at the beginning of the season and it feels great to say that we achieved success.” The lone Langley goal was scored by Mitchell Urzinger 15 minutes into the second half. “It was an extremely special day for our club. For our boys to start things off with a big win was brilliant,” said Ballard. “Participating both as a coach (U21) and then later as a player (PAK Cup) was a tremendous experience, and will be a memory I will not soon forget.” • More at langleyadvance.com

Kodiaks win PJHL series
Aldergrove’s junior Bs overcame a three-to-one deficit. What made the Aldergrove Kodiaks’ win over the Richmond Sockeyes in the Pacific Junior Hockey League championship series so impressive? The answer to that question can be summed up in two parts: First and foremost, the Kodiaks posted four wins against a powerhouse team that only lost five times throughout the 44-game PJHL regular season, and led not only the Tom Shaw Conference but the entire league with a 34-5-3-2 record. And secondly, the Aldergrove junior Bs erased a 3-1 series deficit to win the playoff title in seven contests. The series was a repeat of the 2013 championship set, in which the Sockeyes swept the Kodiaks in four. This year, the Kodiaks (who lost the first two contests) won the final three games of the series: 3-0 last Thursday, March 27 at Richmond’s Minoru Arena; 3-2 in overtime Saturday (March 29) at Aldergrove Arena; and 5-1 in the seventh and deciding game Monday (March 31) at Minoru Arena. “I felt the key was executing on our opportunities,” Kodiaks head coach Brad Rihela said. “The players realized they had to take it one game at a time and climb back into the series.” Even with the Kodiaks on the verge of elimination at the hands of the Sockeyes, they didn’t lose faith, according to their bench boss. “At that point, we agreed as a group to take it one period at a time and one game at a time, and control what we could control,” Rihela said. “We knew that we had a lot of hard work ahead of us and we put our best foot forward.” The playoff title adds to what has been an excellent season for the Kodiaks, who finished on top of the Harold Brittain Conference with a 34-6-2-2 regular season record before beating the Mission City Outlaws in four games and Abbotsford Pilots in five games in the first two rounds of the post-season. The Kodiaks’ season continues when they head to Nelson to play in the Cyclone Taylor Cup, the B.C. junior B championship tournament April 10-13. The tourney also includes the Nelson Leafs, Victoria Cougars, and either the Beaver Valley Nitehawks or Kamloops Storm, battling for Kootenay International Junior Hockey League supremacy.

These issues are common. They are more likely to strike you or your loved ones than any single cancer and they touch the lives of almost everyone.
