For the first time in years, there has been a slight decline in homelessness in the Langleys. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The number of people sleeping on the streets of the Lower Mainland is up sharply, according to the latest Metro Vancouver Homeless Count. But not in Langley. Results from the 2014 count, conducted every three years, showed overall numbers had increased from 2,650 homeless to 2,770. Langley and many of its neighbours actually saw a small decline in the number of homeless people, compared to the 2011 count. Most of the increase was centered in Vancouver itself, which also had the largest number of homeless by a wide margin. Langley’s 2014 count saw volunteers locate 92 homeless people, of whom 38 were in a shelter of some kind. That’s slightly down from the 2011 high, when 103 homeless people were located in the Langleys. Langley had seen steadily increasing numbers in the previous years, from 57 homeless in 2005 to 86 in 2008. This marks Langley’s first actual decline since the counting began. “It shows that there is good work being done,” said Fraser Holland, a homelessness outreach worker in Langley. However, he noted that local social workers have already met up with several people who noted that they were not counted. Any snapshot count like this one will miss people and err on the low side, he said. Another issue is that Langley, though not a

large community, bears a higher proportion of homeless than many other communities. “Langley still has the fifth highest number in the region,” said Holland. Burnaby, Ridge Meadows, Richmond, New Westminster, and the North Shore also saw slight declines in the number of people without a permanent home. The TriCities and Surrey saw slight increases, while Vancouver’s numbers shot up, from 1,581 people counted in 2011 to 1,798 this year. The proportion of people without shelter across the region increased this year compared to 2011. Region-wide, there were 957 homeless without any shelter at all. In Langley, 54 people were unsheltered. There has been a slight increase in the percentage of teens and young adults on the streets. A total of 410 people under 25 were

counted in 2014, a three per cent increase. The number of seniors, however, went up sharply. A total of 371 people 55 and older were counted, up 38 per cent from 2011 when 268 seniors were counted. Holland had previously told the Langley Advance that, during the early-March counting process, local volunteers noticed more elderly homeless than in years past. He hopes that numbers backing up the observation will help encourage more action on this front. Langley’s homelessness is addressed by many groups, Holland noted, including churches, the Salvation Army, Ishtar Transitional Housing Society, and Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services Society programs. Despite any decline in the total numbers, there remains a lot to do, he said: “We’re still extremely busy.”

Emergency response

Joyride ends with crushed ankle A young man had his ankle crushed in an accident involving forklift driving. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Mounties had to free a 22-year-old man from a forklift after it crashed on a construction site in Willoughby. Ambulance personnel were the first called to the scene, near the corner of 80th Avenue and 208th Street, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. Apparently, a group of young men had been joyriding in a stolen forklift near the

site late Monday evening. The forklift tipped over and pinned the ankle of one man. Officers helped free the trapped man, who had a crushing injury to his ankle. He was taken to the hospital. According to the brief statement he gave police, he was actually trying to stop another group of men from stealing the forklift when the accident happened. “We’re skeptical of his response,” Marks said. The victim appeared to be impaired by alcohol at the time of the crash. Police reports indicated there may have been two other men still present when emergency responders arrived at the scene.

TWU challenged

The Victoria lawyer challenging the Law Society of B.C. approval of the Trinity Western University law school says he has more than 1,100 letters of support. Michael Mulligan was using a clause in the law society that says if more than five per cent of members (550 required) submit a request, it can trigger a special meeting. He wants a revote on the law school approval by the society which regulats the province’s 11,000 lawyers and law schools. He wants the society to reconsider its accreditation because of TWU’s requirement that students and staff sign a Community Covenant. • More online

Brookswood

Council votes no to preserving trees Plans for a tree preservation bylaw for Brookswood were scrapped. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A tree preservation bylaw, for Brookswood or Langley as a whole, was canned in a seven to two vote on April 14 by the Langley Township council. An interim tree preservation bylaw was put forward by Councillor Kim Richter in the wake of the controversy over the planned Brookswood Official Community Plan. After a majority of council voted against the OCP, there seemed to be some support for looking at the tree protection issue again. The updated community plan drew a great deal of opposition from many in the neighbourhood. One of the major reasons for opposition was that residents feared that development and increased density would result in a large number of trees being cut down. Richter called for both an interim rule to reduce clearcutting of trees and for a more substantial tree protection bylaw to

A number of properties around Brookswood have been logged in recent weeks, before and after talk of a tree preservation bylaw. follow. Tree protection bylaws for Brookswood have been proposed several times in the past but have always been rejected by the Township council. In many cases, there have been fears that by discussing the bylaw, they were actually inadvertently encouraging clearcutting of wooded lots as property owners rushed to remove trees before it became more onerous.

On April 14, the Township council again said no to banning tree cutting. The interim rule and a request to create a full bylaw were both defeated in five to four readings, with Mayor Jack Froese and Councillors Bev Dornan, Charlie Fox, Bob Long and Grant Ward all opposed. Richter had attempted to send the tree protection bylaw back to staff for review and to develop a

more complete timeline, but that plan was also defeated before the full bylaw was defeated. A number of wooded properties in Brookswood and Fernridge have been logged either fully or partially over the past few weeks, with much of the tree cutting starting before the vote on April 14. It is unclear if provincial rules could put a stop to some tree cutting. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources responded to a request from the Langley Advance for information about land clearing. A spokesperson wrote that “the province doesn’t specifically regulate the cutting of trees on private property.” There are rules in place, though. “However, Section 34 of the Wildlife Act protects occupied bird’s nests,” said the ministry. “Holding off on tree removal activities during the breeding season (ministry staff generally suggest avoiding land-clearing between the start of March and the end of August) or having a qualified professional undertake a nest survey are best practices the ministry strongly promotes and encourages to avoid contravening the Wildlife Act.”

Youth

Victims want to help abused young women

The victims of the arson and attempted murder early this month are giving back. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The Langley family at the center of a violent crime is trying to channel their hardship into helping young women. The Cella family, a mother and her two children, were the victims of a violent assault and arson in their Langley Meadows home on April 2. Andre Richard, Sonia Cella’s estranged husband, has been charged with three counts of

attempted murder, arson, and other offenses. Loretta Cella said her sister and niece are trying to reach out to others in the wake of the attack that sent both of them to the hospital. Loretta is one of the founders of the Passion Foundation, a group that supports leadership development for young women. “My niece has experienced deep trauma and continues to deal with the painful emotions associated with this event, but as a survivor of domestic violence she wants to create change for herself and others who may have had a similar experience,” Loretta said. The Passion Foundation has

approved a new initiative, the Healing Our Hurting Hearts Club, named by Loretta’s niece. “I want to do this because I have been through so much stuff and want to help other people in similar situation,” Loretta’s niece said. Scan “I always felt like I’m with alone and now I know I’m not.” Layar The program will be for young women, 11-18, who have been affected by domestic violence. They will receive leadership coaching and take part in team building, skill development, and self-reflection, while working on a community project. “This program will also give

an opportunity for high school students to earn hours toward graduation,” Loretta Cella wrote. “My niece and a group of her close peers will be creating the program details with me this summer,” she wrote. “Our hope to have the program up and running by fall.” A fund has been established through the Passion Foundation to support the Healing Our Hurting Hearts Club. Donations to the new project can be made online at passionfoundation.org, or by emailing the coordinator of the group through info@passionfoundation.org.

Educational history

High school hits a big milestone Brookswood Secondary invites the community to celebrate four decades of history.

The Fraser Valley News Herald covered the official opening in 1975, after the school had opened.

by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Brookswood school started life as a junior high in 1973. The 2013-14 school year is its 40th anniversary and organizers of the celebration on April 26 specifically chose to have it this time of year. When Brookswood Junior Secondary had its first students and staff in September 1973, it sort of didn’t have a building. H.D. Stafford School existed in the mornings, then the building became Brookswood Junior Secondary in the afternoons – until around Easter, when the current Brookswood school was completed. It became a senior secondary school just over a decade later, and has since had three expansions. The first class graduated in 1986, explained Michelle Allen, one of the organizers of the 40th anniversary celebrations. “We are inviting former Brookswood students and staff, as well as the families and communities of Brookswood, to walk through our halls, meet with old friends, and remember 40 years of Brookswood history,” she said. The event runs this Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Heather Colpitts Langley Advance

Highlights include: nostalgic displays, a meet n’ greet of former teachers, theatre productions, an alumni basketball tournament, tours, performances by alumni bands and the current jazz bands. There’s live concerts starting at 3 p.m. featuring Robyn and Ryleigh as well as Brookswood’s country duo called General Mayhem (popular musician Daniel Wesley and Jeremy Allingham of the band Factories and Alleyways.). Both former students will reunite on stage for the anniversary. “The thing that ties us together is that we both used to play in a band in high school together. It was called General Mayhem,” Allingham said.” We did pretty well for ourselves as 17-18 year olds, playing plenty of shows around the Lower Mainland and even winning the XFM Battle of the Bands – that ages us a bit. Our band broke up, as many teenaged bands do…. Over the years, we’ve re-connected, become best friends again

and we are also both new dads. So we decided, why not dust off some of our old tunes again.?”

Whales make way for tankers

North Pacific humpbacks whales are no longer members of a threatened species… according to the federal government, which last weekend announced that the Species at Risk Act would be amended to reclassify the whales as a “species of special concern.” The new title means the whales’ feeding ground will no longer be subject to habitat protection laws – good news for whale watchers, especially those who are watching from oil tankers. The whales’ habitat happens to be right on the shipping lane slated for bitumenloaded tankers bound for China, should the same federal government decide to approve the Northern Gateway Pipeline next month. It seems coincidental. Pro-environment lobbyists had already made it clear that one of their strategies to limit, stall, or perhaps even stop the pipeline proposal was to meet any federal approval with legal action based on the whales’ endangered status… under the Species at Risk Act. Oops. That’s one avenue closed to those pesky environmentalists. On the other hand, it does remove a hazard from those treacherous coastal waters… for those who plan to launch the bitumen carriers, if not for the tankers themselves. It seems, in their slashing of scientists’ jobs from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, the Tories had the foresight to keep at least a few around who are of the opinion that whales can probably learn to dodge tankers. It is more of a systemic dismantling of environmental regulations and protection that might pose stumbling blocks for future pipeline projects. We saw the same thing with the elimination of environmental assessments for bodies of water that don’t contain commercial or recreational fisheries. You can’t be accused of breaking any rules if there aren’t any rules to break. We’d like to toast the whales’ bright future after their return from the brink of extinction due to a century of commercial whaling. But their recovery is actually only words on paper. – Glacier Media.

process that would ultimately affect every person living not only in Brookswood/ Fernridge, but in all of Langley, creating a precedent that could haunt us all. The big question that still remains is the role played by the “staff” at council meetings. Even if the prodevelopment financing group had a large influence in the plans, it quickly became obvious that there was very little real “planning” done by staff in arriving at the final package. After the initial public open house meetings required by law, citizens with no special training in planning and/or engineering could see many errors and omissions after only brief reviews of the proposals. So how were these errors and omissions missed by staff? It is time to question the qualifications of those responsible for making the final decisions on proposals that are to be presented for council to vote on in public. B.

Langley have reason to be concerned. The Township should sharpen its collective pencils and consider the long-term secondary impact that pipeline expansion would likely have. Matt Hennig, Fort Langley

WOMEN’S TRAIL RUNNERS

Pipeline promoting greater costs Past costs have been in the tens of millions of dollars. Is pipeline expansion beneficial for Langley, or will it actually come back to bite the residents? Property owners and residents in and around Fort

Fort Langley

Dear Editor, The Salmon River pump station at the mouth of the river helps drain flood waters from low-lying areas around Fort Langley. There are also numerous dikes around Fort Langley. With the spectre of global warming, rising sea levels, and B.C. glaciers retreating, will the additional greenhouse gas emissions resultant from Canadian bitumen production and eventual consumption overseas have an added impact on floodrelated issues in Langley Township? Will tripling the bitumen volume through Langley Township indirectly exacerbate flooding-related concerns right here at home. Would the additional taxes raised from pipeline expansion (about $550,000 per year) be able to pay for the long-term cost of pump station maintenance and upgrades, dike upgrades, and flood damage? Would the Township even set aside collected taxes for this purpose, or spend it all on other things?

woman behind the wheel of an SUV gave Ed Cowx a thumbs-up sign as he cruised past her in his 1968 Triumph TR250. “Do you know her?” he was asked as he eased to a stop at a signal light. “No,” the 62-year-old Cowx responded, adding with a smile, “but I get that a lot.” The two-seat car, one of just 8,484 of its kind made in 1967 in Britain for the North American market, tends to get that sort of reaction whenever Cowx takes it for a spin around his Langley neighbourhood, and beyond. It’s given the owner plenty to smile about, since he bought it in Vancouver for $2,200 after responding to a newspaper ad to sell the car in late 1972. “I liked the car,” Cowx said. “It certainly needed some work. It was only four or five years old, grown, and he installed rear seat then.” belts for the siblings.

Because it’s strictly a fairweather car, the TR250 was a bit tardy making it last year’s LAMB (Langley Area Mostly British Motoring Club) St. George’s Day Motoring Show in Fort Langley. “I was late because it was raining in the morning,” Cowx said. “It doesn’t see rain. If it’s raining, it doesn’t go out.” eather permitting, Cowx plans on putting his car on display at this Sunday’s (April 27) St. George’s Day show on the grounds of the Fort Langley Community Hall. In its ninth year, the show focuses on British vehicles and will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. LAMB director Martin Ross expects roughly 75 vehicles to be on display including a double decker bus and taxis. The Canadian Museum of Flight will also have a Spitfire Plane at the show. To LAMB members, the appeal of British vehicles is varied. “As Canada was a British colony, many vehicles were owned by members in Britain, their families, and part of the heritage,” Ross said. “In the glory days, British cars were seen as distinctive and reliable. They have great style and allure. Their names were synonymous with style: Triumph, Hillman, Zephyr, MG, Rover, Jaguar, and Rolls Royce. Names you will remember for a long time.”

Sextet caps LCMS season New drum event unique Drummers from around the Lower Mainland have been invited to Langley’s first ever 24-hour drum.

A musical collective performs May 3 at the Rose Gellert Hall.

The repertoire of the vocal ensemble musica intima ranges from early to contemporary music, tried and tested across Canada and beyond. The members bring their talent to the stage of the Langley Community Music School’s Rose Gellert Hall on May 3 at 7:30 p.m. “I have heard musica intima in performance on various occasions and each time was completely enthralled by their sound and presence,” said Elizabeth Bergmann, artistic director concerts for LCMS. “Their musicianship, singing and engagement are captivating. As a listener you can sit back and enjoy the ‘surround sound’ effect of this ensemble.” Audiences will get a taste of choral classics with works by Eric Whitacre and Arvo Pärt, contemporary Canadian marvels with Derek Healey and Ed Henderson, and even a pop song or two. Founded in 1992, musica intima has become an integral part of Vancouver’s cultural fabric.

by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Founded in 1992, musica intima performs music from different eras and genres. The group performs at the Langley Community Music School on May 3 starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $22 for adults, $20 for seniors and $16 for students. Call 604-534-2848 or go to www.langleymusic.com for tickets. The show is in the Rose Gellert Hall, 4899 20th St. But what makes musica intima truly unique is that they rehearse, perform and function as a collective. In rehearsal, they exchange ideas freely while exploring their own musical creativity. In performance, they engage the audience with a spontaneity and directness all their own. This show is the finale of the LCMS concert season. Tickets are $22 for adults, $20 for seniors, and $16 for

students. Call 604-534-2848 or visit www.langleymusic.com for tickets. The hall is at 4899 207th St.

The Red Hawk Drummers are hosting a day of drumming, a full day, 24 hours solid. The 24-hour drum on April 25/26 will be a first for this community and will benefit charity. The Red Hawk Drummers consists of about 35 drummers that meet regularly to practice. They are Aboriginal Support Workers, elementary and secondary students, and parents. They are inviting the public to attend anytime during the 24-hour event. “We will be accompanied by a variety of Aboriginal Support Workers and Aboriginal drummers we have invited from all over the Lower Mainland,” said organizer Sheila Jack, an aboriginal support worker with the Langley School District. “We even have a drummer coming from the Okanagan to share songs with us. I am also told that we will have drummers from Squamish First Nation, Kwantlen First Nation and Katzie First Nation in attendance.” Red Hawk attended a 24hour drum last year in the Port Coquitlam School District and it

captured their imaginations. “Upon our return our students wanted to hold their own event,” she explained. “I told them that if they could start a plan we would carry it through. The following Monday morning they showed up at my desk with 21 pages of notes and the beginning of a plan.” The students wanted to add a fundraising component and chose to support three causes, including the Canadian Diabetes Association because the disease is growing in the aboriginal community, particularly elders. The students decided they want the funds to be used to educate people about the disease and health. As well, people can bring down non-perishable donations which will go to the Langley Food Bank and Basics for Babies. Activities kick off at 11 a.m. Friday, April 25 with the opening ceremonies. “The entire school population will be in attendance for the opening ceremony of the event,” Jack said. The closing ceremonies will take place at 10 a.m. on Saturday. In between, people can enjoy the drumming as well as traditional games and activities. There will be crafts and vendor tables ($25 rental). Bannock tacos and chili will be available as well. For more information, including volunteer opportunities at the event, contact 24HrDrumLangley@ gmail.com. There is also a Facebook page (/24HrDrumLang).

ed shoes, a little dog and a witch – the touchstones of a popular tale being staged by Langley Fundamental Middle and Secondary School starting April 24. Wizard of Oz the Musical will take audiences to Kansas and beyond the rainbow. The performances feature a full stage with special effects, massive sets and costume changes, and solo and ensemble singing. It’s a big production. “We have 70 cast members, two sets of leads – Emerald cast and Ruby casts, for about 200 costumes,” said teacher Steve Thompson. Shows run at 7 p.m. Thursdays through Saturday, April 24-26 and May 1-3. “We have tried to appeal to almost all the senses in our staging of Wizard. We have explosions for the Wicked Witch, smoke for Oz, fireballs, wind for the cyclone, bubbles for Glinda, snow in the poppy scene, Oz’s contraption, aromas like baking cookies and a campfire, special effects projections on a 15 by 40 foot scrim, even a real dog, Parker, playing Toto,” he said. “And if you want a ‘taste’ of the show, you can buy treats at our Kansas Cafe.” Thanks to technology there will be flight. “Nobody really flies as it’s too costly but we do use projection as a special effect with green screen techniques for Glinda, the monkeys and the cyclone scene,” Thompson said. The school is staging the popular Royal Shakespeare Co. version which follows the music and format of the 1939 film. “Our director, Dianna Fast loves the show and we thought the appeal is ideal for all ages, timely because of the recent Broadway staging and 75th anniversary of the movie, plus it is very well suited to our Grade 6 to 12 school for casting younger Munchkins to older leads,” Thompson said. It certainly is a challenge to stage a musical in a gymnasium but the school manages to do it with the help of large team of community volunteers and the expertise of some rigging and lighting professionals, he said. “Our student technical team is like working with professionals and they put in hundreds of hours to prepare the show: sound, website, video, special effects, lighting, stage design and much more,” he added. Front row seats or rather front row couches are $20 per person and ticketholders here receive complimentary

A large crowd view the submissions and voted. Pawluk’s woodworking subjects are typically wildlife. “I just put them on my mantlepiece,” he said. The wood comes from pine shipping crates he is

During construction, her daughter’s reaction was: “it looks like trash.” Her win gets her a $200 prize, which should silence any jibes from her husband or kids. “He’s forgiven me for raiding his scrap pile,” Natasha chuckled. The entrants ranged in age from high school to seniors. “As a solid waste department, we really appreciate the message that’s being given out here,” said Krista Daniszewski, the solid waste coordinator with the Township. Upcycle was a partnership between the Township and the Langley Arts Council. The display continues to the end of the month. They must be picked up by their makers by May 3.

Judges also chose three winners based on creativity, functionality and use of materials that would have otherwise ended up in the landfill.

Her husband collects scrap in his off hours, and she raided his scrap pile, but did name her vessel in honour of local scrap dealer MTI. A licence plate gave her the lettering to call the boat MTI but the inspiration came from the hull which was fashioned from a tool box.

Rhododenrons

Thursday, April 24, 2013

A17

Shrubberies add easy colour

hododendrons are the shrubs most likely to make gardeners happy in the Pacific Northwest. That’s because rhodos love our acidic soil, mild temperatures, large number of canopy trees, and (usually) high rainfall. Even better, the shallow roots of rhodos make them easy to transplant. Also, weeds are reluctant to grow underneath them, because the heavy, evergreen leaves block light. Then there are the spectacular flower clusters in spring. As well, it’s easy to find a rhododendron to suit your garden, because there are more than 1,000 species and innumerable cultivars. They’re popular with plant breeders because they hybridize very easily. by Anne Marrison Breeders also like Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden rhodendrons that are easy questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca to work with. These selections will root easily, resist rhododendron diseases and flower early. Especially for people in smaller spaces, it’s important to choose varieties that they love the look of now, and that won’t annoy them later with excessive growth. Some rhododendrons can stretch far and wide as they get older. That means pruning may be necessary if they’re planted near a door or under a window. Hybrid rhodos with rough bark usually respond well to pruning. Rhodos with smooth bark may have trouble. And both kinds are unlikely to flower on the new shoots for a few years. The dryness under roof overhangs and alkalinity from concrete foundations can also cause problems for rhododendrons. People with very small space would do best with extremely compact rhododendrons, including some nice purple-blues such as ‘Blue Bird’ or ‘Blue Diamond’ – or the paler ‘Ramapo.’ The small-leaf rhodos handle sun and moderate drying better than larger-leaf kinds. Large-leaf rhodos do best in fairly moist, dappled shade. Small-leaf rhodos tend to grow to about a metre (three feet) high over 10 years, according to nursery labels. Those labels never mention eventual heights subsequently attained, but very old compact rhodos can reach two metres (six feet) and more. Many rhododendrons never stop growing. Somewhat less compact, but still small and shapely is the very popular ‘PJM’ rhodo, which has very bright pink flowers. ‘PJM’, is densely branched, has leaves that are aromatic (when crushed), and turn a reddish-brown through

winter. It usually reaches up to 2.4 metres and spreads up to about 1.3 metres (four feet). Another hugely loved and easily available rhodo family is the Yakushimanums (a.k.a. Yaks). They have compactly branched, rounded bushes that produce pink buds which open to pink or white flowers. The plants are very hardy, and are tolerant of harsh conditions. Rhodo ponticum isn’t as popular as it was before people discovered it can thrust up shoots from its roots. In Scotland and Ireland, it has invaded many acres. But the purple-flowered R. ponticum with white-edged leaves is still sold. Another variegated-leaf rhodo is ‘President Roosevelt.’ It has red flowers and yellow-edged leaves. Some unusual rhodos include the very early pale pink ‘Christmas Cheer’ and the equally early R. mucronulatum which opens pink flowers on deciduous branches. ‘Hotei’ has beautiful butter-yellow flowers, while R. augustifolium offers varying shades of blue. Rhodos need to be planted in airy and acidic soil to which bark and/or peat and compost have been added.

Rhododendrons come in all shapes, sizes, and colours to suit almost any gardeners shubbery desires.

Aquatic sports

Youth have an opportunity to check out an aquatic team sport at Walnut Grove Pool April 24 and May 20. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Langley Water Polo Club is offering young people a chance to try out the sport for only $5. “You don’t need to have a swimming background,” noted coach Kevin Mitchell. Young people can try out the sport on April 24 and May 20. Both sessions are 5-6 p.m. at the Walnut Grove Community Centre pool. He said the requirements, in addition to a swim suit, is being comfortable in the water. The club, which uses the Walnut Grove Community Centre pool, uses the shallow end for the younger players. The club’s activities are geared to beginner players to help provide a way for younger people to get into the sport in a fun atmosphere.

The $5 is a necessity to provide liability insurance for the try it events. In addition to Mitchell, other coaches and the older kids in the club will be on hand to help those trying out water polo. Some people come to water polo from swim clubs, but that’s not a requirement. Young people don’t even need to know the rules of water polo. The next season runs June to August with sessions up to three times each week. “We teach everything for water polo, everything they need to know,” Mitchell said. For the younger athletes, it’s more about having fun than intense competition. Water polo does become more physically intense and competitive as players grow. There are 10 clubs in the Lower Mainland Water Polo League and

the Langley club travels to these other communities to take part in competitions. “If they join they’ll play games every weekend,” Mitchell said. Intake for the club is anytime during the year. There are winter and summer leagues.

Some choices are hard.

Registration fees are kept low for beginners. The cost is $50 (plus $30-$60 insurance) for kids 12 and younger. The fee for older kids is $550 with family discounts for more than one child participating. For more information, contact langleywaterpolo@gmail.com. Mitchell said if there was interest, the club would look at creating a recreational adult league.

Most of the players are teen and younger. The only requirements are a bathing suit and a skull cap. Most players choose not to wear goggles. He explained that the sport is a good chance for an all-over workout. “Swimming and throwing a ball around is very good for the heart and overall health,” Mitchell said.

Some are easy.

The Langley Ratclan had the perfect season, however not for the reasons one might think. Did the midget C5 hockey team have a perfect record? No, but pretty darn close, with a 40-6-1 record. Did they go the entire season without a penalty? Not with this competitive group of boys. What this team had was heart and determination. Coach Jody Fox went into the draft, hoping for many boys who he already knew through his son, and from coaching in seasons past. He wasn’t looking for an all-star lineup, but a team with a good group of boys and a good group of parents. Starting the season he knew only a handful of players. There is not that “one” superstar player; there were players with speed, players with great stickhandling abilities, defensive players, and many players the coaching staff had never met before. The season started with an amazing winning streak, which included winning the gold medal in the Cloverdale Tournament over the Remembrance Day weekend. The Ratclan did not lose a game until Dec. 15, when they finished third at a tournament in Winfield. The players did not let the loss affect them and continued their winning ways by winning the PCAHA league banner. The players proved that every minute in every game counted, not letting themselves worry if they fell behind early. They had an uncanny knack of coming back in the third period. Every player put their heart into every game. Every player played on the power play, penalty kill, and in high pressure situations. They truly found their success as a team. They went on to win another gold medal in March at the Port Alberni tournament. As the season was coming to a close, the Ratclan played in the Langley Cup. The players proved just how much heart they had in the semifinal game where they were trailing 3-2 with less than three minutes left in the game. They did not give up and tied the game. As the clock wound down and everyone prepared for overtime, the Ratclan decided there would be none of that and with .07 seconds and a shot from just inside the red line, they won the game, pushing them into the finals. The Ratclan faced their just their sixth loss of the season in the finals, when they fell short to Langley C4 in a very spirited game. • More at langleyadvance.com

Host Olympians shine

Thirteen Langley swimmers were golden during the club’s annual Long Course Meet in Walnut Grove.

Langley Olympians Swim Club (LOSC) members were determined to show well in their home water April 11-13. Mission accomplished. LOSC hosted its 12th annual Long Course Meet at the Walnut Grove Community Centre’s pool. Held in the facility’s 50-metre pool, the meet attracted 400 swimmers from the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Comprising of heats and finals, the meet was very challenging as LOSC’s first long course meet of the season. All swimmers had to be on their “A” game in heats to win a place in the finals.

Trinity Western University student/athlete Nathan George continues to set a lofty standard for the Spartans track and field team. The second-year sprinter from Coquitlam finished amongst the top two in all three of his races in California over the Easter

long weekend. George ran the 400-metre event twice, clocking a time of 47.62 seconds while finishing second at the Long Beach Invitational at Cerritos College, and 47.99 in finishing first at the Bryan Clay Invitational at Azusa Pacific University. He also sprinted to second in the 200m at the Bryan Clay Invitational in a time of 21.58. George was one of six Spartans performing on the outdoor track this past weekend as Calum Innes, Nathan Dunford, Emma Nuttall, Hazel Ross, and Sabrina Nettey were also competed in California. The Spartans’ next competition is the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) championships May 1-3 in Rome, Georgia.

Stealth hosts final home game

This Saturday marks the final time lacrosse fans will see the 2014 Vancouver Stealth in action. The Stealth play their last National Lacrosse League game of the season when they host the Calgary Roughnecks at the Langley Events Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. Tickets are available at the LEC box office or online at stealthlax.com. It’s been a disappointing season for the 4-12 Stealth, who, after a decent 2-2 start to their campaign, dropped 10 of their next 12 games, and were officially eliminated from the NLL playoffs last weekend. The Stealth could be a tired bunch by the time Saturday’s game rolls around. On Friday, they travel to Rexall Place in Edmonton to take on the Rush.

Car show

Otter Co-op site of weekend car show

The Otter Co-op lot will likely be filled with cars over the weekend, and not all of the vehicle’s occupants will be shoppers. The co-op at 3650 248th St., just south of Fraser Highway, is the site of the second annual Country Car Show. The two-day show and shine, being held this Saturday and Sunday (April 26 and 27) includes entertainment, a prize draw for all entries, dash plaques, a full $2.99 breakfast at the co-op, and burgers and hot dogs sold outside. Open to all vehicles, registration is at 8 a.m. followed by the show at 9 a.m. both days. Entry fee of $10 covers both days, if desired.

Accolades

Jockey Club honours horse lover/photographer

An Aldergrove woman is honoured with a national award for her horseracing photography.

Red carpets, champagne receptions, and $250-a-plate dinners were never part of Aldergrove resident Patti Tubbs’s lifestyle. She’s a 48-year-old single mother surviving on a monthly $900 disability pension who tries to make ends meet by delivering pizza at night and occasionally selling one of her racing-related photos at Hastings Racecourse. Her story is one of tragedy, personal health issues, and broken dreams. It is also one of unimaginable courage and perseverance, peaked by her 2013 Jockey Club of Canada Sovereign Award in the photography media category presented April 11 at Woodbine Racetrack in Toronto. Her winning entry was a candid shot of muddy-faced veteran jockey Frank Fuentes heading back to the winner’s circle after a victory at the Hastings track. “I was absolutely shocked when I heard my name announced,” Patti said. “It’s something I never expected. The first call I took was from my dad from his home at 100 Mile House [South Cariboo region of central B.C.]. He’d been watching online. I think we were both

crying. I don’t remember.” Her 20-year-old daughter Amanda had made the 3,000mile trip from Vancouver to Toronto with Patti, only the second time the two had been on an airplane. “It wouldn’t have happened without so many of my friends at Hastings helping out with the funding,” Patti says. One horse owner of note, who doesn’t want to be identified, donated the airfare for the Tubbs ladies while other contributions from Hastings horsemen helped cover hotel and food costs. “I can’t wait to get home to share my Sovereign trophy with everyone,” Patti said from Toronto. “I’ve got so many people to thank.” She didn’t know at the time that moves were in the works to designate a race in her name on opening day at Hastings

The winning photo of jockey Frank Fuentes was taken by Patti Tubbs at Hastings Race-course.

Patti Tubbs was recently honoured by the Jockey Club of Canada for her photography.

Racecourse on Sunday, April 27. “We all want Patti to know how proud we are of her accomplishment,” said general manager Darren MacDonald. “Patti is the first photographer from Western Canada to win a Sovereign Award and the first female

winner since 1985.” Despite being born without a hip socket, Patti managed to work as a youngster in the barns at Hastings for her mother Maureen, a respected trainer in a small stable. Patti’s father Gerry and brother Chris were outriders. It was in 1999 when things turned upside down in the Tubbs family. Maureen was driving her minivan to work from their farm in Aldergrove

PUZZLED

ABOUT YOUR RETIREMENT LIVING? HERE IS THE AVALON GARDENS SOLUTION

when a speeding car ran a red light at Cassiar and Hastings Streets, just minutes away from the racetrack. Maureen died at the scene. “It was really a tough time,” Patti says. “I was struggling both emotionally and physically. I’d had 37 surgeries, 34 of them on my legs. I simply couldn’t continue doing physical work at the racetrack anymore but there was no way I was going to give up the life I loved, being around horses and the people in the industry. That’s when I came up with the idea of becoming a track photographer. “I bought a camera, started snapping shots during morning workouts and eventually trainers, owners, jockeys, grooms and hot walkers began supporting me by purchasing them.” Her 2013 Sovereign Award winning photo will obviously be in demand once the thoroughbred season at Hastings gets underway. While Patti does night time deliveries for Pizza Hut in Abbotsford, Amanda is a server for rival Boston Pizza in Aldergrove. “We’re not complaining,” mom said. “We’ve got each other and at this stage of my life, that’s all that really matters.” The Sovereign Award, she might have added, is simply the ideal topping. – From Canadian Newswire/Hastings Racecourse
