Langley police are hunting for a man who impersonated a Saskatchewan resident to file a false income tax return and pocket the refund. On Feb. 20, the suspect walked into a Langley tax return business to get taxes done. The man had both a T4 slip and an Indian Status Card, gave a date of birth and a Social Insurance Number to the accountants. He received a return of $1,500. The person whose name and identity were stolen never got the refund, and had never been in B.C., said Cpl. Holly Marks, Langley RCMP spokesperson. Police are asking for help identifying the fake tax filer, along with several other suspects in recent crimes. An attempt to use a stolen credit card was foiled by an alert clerk on May 5. A young man walked into the Esso gas station in the 19700 block of Fraser Highway and tried to buy several gift cards using a credit card with the “tap” feature, said Marks. The clerk noticed a woman’s name on the credit card, and challenged the man for identification. The young man left the store. Anyone who recognizes the people in any of the surveillance photos, or who can help police with their investigations, can call

A Remington pump action 14 gauge shotgun and a .22 calibre Remington single shot rifle were taken, Marks said.

Classics, hot rods bloom at Poppy
A show and shine went ahead as scheduled at D.W. Poppy school, despite the rain. by Troy Landreville

Music at the D.W. Poppy Secondary’s annual car show on Sunday added levity to what was a damp and miserable day. The Doors’ Riders on the Storm, directly followed by Johnny Nash’s I Can See Clearly Now (The Rain is Gone) poured from the loudspeakers, as visitors braved a steady stream of raindrops to peruse several rows of classic cars and hot rods. About 60 vehicles were entered in the show, and there was involvement in the show from “We look forward to the Langley Good Times sunnier skies next Cruise-In year.” and Langley Marlene Yakabuski Speedway Historical Society. A total of $1,000 was raised for D.W. Poppy Secondary programs including dry grad, the school’s basketball teams, and its technology program. “Our technology programs are raising money for a trailer for the [school’s] race car so they can start taking the car to races, a 3D printer, as well as money to upgrade the dust collection system and electrical in the shops to handle the new machinery,” show organizer Marlene Yakabuski said. Yakabuski sent out a “big thanks” to the show’s sponsors and donors. “We look forward to sunnier skies next year,” she added.

Crime
Alcohol, speed believed to be factors in head-on crash Police are looking for more witnesses after a driver ran a red light in Aldergrove. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A 32-year-old man suffered broken bones after a crash at a busy Aldergrove intersection on
Tuesday afternoon. Just after 5:30 p.m., a Nissan sports car slammed into a Honda mini van at the intersection of 264th Street and 56th Avenue, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The Nissan apparently drove through a red light and hit the mini-van according to witness reports, said Marks. “Police believe both alcohol
and speed to be factors in the collision,” said Marks. The Abbotsford driver of the Nissan had significant injuries, with suspected broken bones. He was taken to hospital for treatment, said Marks. The woman driving the minivan was also taken to hospital, but treated and released with comparatively minor injuries. Both vehicles were towed
from the scene and will be given mechanical inspections as part of the overall investigation. Police still have numerous witnesses to interview and have to piece together a complete sequence of events surrounding the collision, said Marks. Anyone who saw the crash, but has not yet spoken to police, is asked to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Two Nissan Leafs waited for Township crews to finish marking out the area near an electric fastcharging station in late April.
Electric vehicles
Power ups prove popular A new fast-charging station for electric cars is free to use, for now. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
It wasn’t a long line up, but it was a line, and Ryan Schmidt was happy to see it. While Township staff were working to paint markings around the community’s first free fast charging station for electrical cars, two Nissan Leafs turned up. Both electrical cars wanted turns charging up their batteries at the Langley Events Centre. The line up happened on April 25. A week later, the charger was officially opened, but it has already been drawing people from out of town – both of those waiting for the April charge were from Vancouver. The charging stations are part of a slowly expanding provincial strategy to give people with electric cars access to more areas. A year ago, Langley Township installed three public charging stations for electric cars. At the time, it had no idea if anyone would drive up and plug in. Now it has hard numbers showing that there are drivers around Langley using the system. “They’re being used, which was my biggest fear,” said Schmidt, manager of energy and solid waste for the Township. In total, there are three locations around the Township with Level Two electric vehicle charges.
The stations are located at the Township Civic Facility on 66th Avenue, at the W.C. Blair Rec Centre in Murrayville, and at the Walnut Grove Community Centre. Over the last year, they have been used to provide more than 500 charges. That’s the equivalent of removing more than 1,200 kg in carbon emissions, had those cars been powered by gasoline. When the stations were announced in early 2013, it was unknown how many people lived in Langley and used electrical vehicles. One of the reasons for installing the chargers was to defeat that chickenand-egg problem. Perhaps there weren’t many electrical cars because range anxiety – fear of running out of juice – was preventing people from buying or using electrical cars. “You no longer have to worry about getting stuck out and about without a

charge,” said Schmidt. The DC fast charger was funded by the province’s $14.3 million Clean Energy Vehicle Program, an initiative to support the transition to cleaner transportation options within B.C. It was installed and will be maintained by BC Hydro at no cost to the Township. Township Mayor Jack Froese focused on local users when he spoke at the recent official opening. “Visitors stopping in for a workout, using the walking track, catching a game, or playing in the playground with their kids now have the opportunity to fit in a quick top-up or even a full charge, in less than half an hour,” Froese said. Schmidt said it will draw out-of-towners, too. While the Township can keep track of how much power is used and how many people are using their stations, they don’t know who those users are. There are a few anecdotes, said Schmidt. He noted that at Walnut Grove, there was at least one resident who seemed to have been dropping off his car in the community centre parking lot overnight, picking it up in the morning after it had finished charging. The Township has been picking up the tab for the slow-charging stations, which take about 90 minutes to top up an electric car’s batteries. In the future, they will move to some kind of fee for charging, once demand has increased. So far there’s no schedule in place for that, Schmidt said.

It’s a swing and a miss
A string of attempted violent attacks failed to hit targets. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
An intoxicated man tried to attack two bus drivers, attempted to stab a passenger, and took a swing at a third bus driver before being arrested May 3. At about 4 p.m., an 18year-old Langley man was picked up by a shuttle bus headed from the Willowbrook Shopping Centre to the Langley bus loop, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. The man passed out en route to the bus loop. The shuttle bus driver, anticipating problems with her passenger, met another driver at the bus loop. They asked him to leave the bus. The man started taking swings at both of the driv-
ers, but they avoided getting hit, said Marks. The man did get off the bus, and found himself in a crowd waiting to board buses. The man then allegedly pulled a knife and tried to stab one of the waiting transit patrons, but again missed. A passing car pulled into the bus loop, two men got out, and one of them disarmed the suspect by kicking the knife out of his hand. The two men took the knife, got back in their vehicle, and left. Police have no idea if the men in the car knew the attacker, or just stopped to help. The drunk man tried to board another bus, and when the driver refused, the man took another swing – and another miss. Mounties then arrived and arrested Lance James Flegel, 18. Flegel has been charged with assault, assault with a weapon, carrying a con-
cealed weapon, and two counts of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose. He remains in custody and was due to appear in court on May 7. “We are very alive to the potential for danger to the bus drivers and take these investigations very seriously,” said Insp. Murray Power, Langley RCMP’s operations support officer. “We are extremely happy that no one was hurt in this instance.” This is not the first time a bus patron has attacked a driver or fellow passenger around Langley. Steven Fayant was sentenced to 22 months in jail in 2013 after two attacks on or near buses. Fayant choked bus driver Ram Punni in Surrey Feb. 18, 2012, and three days later, stabbed Thomas Murphy when the two were getting off a bus in Aldergrove. Murphy suffered a lacerated kidney and couldn’t work for three months.

Legal system
University fights back through court system Trinity Western University is going to court in three provinces. by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Trinity Western University is taking legal action in B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia. The law societies of Ontario and Nova Scotia voted not to give accreditation to Trinity Western University law school graduates. Trinity Western is facing a costly fight. “It may cost $1 million or more in order to proceed with the defensive position that Trinity Western has been required to take to protect its religious freedom, and the religious freedom of people of faith in Canada,” TWU president Bob Kuhn told the Langley Advance. TWU is working to open its law school in 2016. “We feel the provincial law societies in Ontario and Nova Scotia have made decisions that are legally incorrect, and unfortunately, TWU is now being forced to relitigate an issue that was decided in its favour by an 8 to 1 decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in 2001,” Kuhn said. “The Supreme Court of Canada is the highest court in the country, comprised of the best legal minds, and their decisions should be respected. In law, their decisions must be
respected.” The Federation of Law Societies of Canada and the B.C. Ministry of Advanced Education approved TWU’s School of Law. The Law Societies of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and some other provinces have decided to accept TWU’s graduates based on the federation approval. On April 24 the Law Society of Upper Canada (LSUC) voted 28 to 21 to ban TWU graduates from articling or practicing in Ontario. The LSUC voted to ban graduates primarily because of the TWU Community Covenant. The school requires students and staff to sign a Community Covenant which forbids gossip, obscene language, prejudice, harassment, lying, cheating, stealing, pornography, drunkenness and sexual intimacy “that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.” The arguments have been about balancing religious freedom with individual rights. Sexual orientation is protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The national law firm of Bennett Jones has been retained to commence a judicial review of the decision of the LSUC. Legal proceedings will commence in the next month. On April 25, the Nova Scotia Barristers Society (NSBS) also voted 10 to 9 not to approve the TWU School of Law unless TWU

Despite the decisions by the various bodies across Canada that oversee the legal profession, TWU will push ahead with the law school, the first in Canada at a religious-based university. TWU wasn’t expecting this kind of backlash, after already having been through the courts when it set up its education program. “We’re disappointed and surprised by the fact that opposition to Trinity Western’s law school has not recognized the direct application of the decision of the Supreme Court of
Canada from 2001, which involved comparable facts and circumstances,” Kuhn said. “It appears that some parties did not like the Supreme Court’s decision made in TWU and the BC College of Teachers and are now proceeding to reargue the case.” When TWU started turning out teachers, there were concerns about whether the B.C. College of Teachers should provide accreditation for the private Christian university because of the covenant. It ended up being decided, in TWU’s favour, by the Supreme Court of Canada.

Science key
Last year more than 500 people toured Kwantlen Polytechnic University for Science Rendezvous. It happens again this Saturday at the Langley campus, and hopefully lots of people take up the opportunity to see science in action and enjoy the hands-on science displays. KPU isn’t the first school to see the need – inducing more people to take an interest in the sciences and science careers. Schools take students on field trips or have guests come into the classroom to show some of the possibilities of science. Even astronaut Chris Hadfield has become an ambassador for science and science education. Yes, young people should feel like they are being badgered about education. That’s because they have unprecedented opportunities in the coming years in so many sectors of the economy and in industries that may not even exist yet. A decade ago, who would have imagined 3D printing, social media management/ businesses, private space flight, consumer electric cars and even commercial medical marijuana? Governments have lots of numbers to toss about, such as the labour shortage expected to start around 2016 and already being felt in some sectors such as the trades, which, even if people don’t always acknowledge it, requires a high degree of skill and has plenty of science involved. According to the B.C. government labour market analysis: • 1,027,400 job openings are expected for B.C. from 2010-2020. • Close to two-thirds of job openings (676,400) will be due to replacement demand as a result of retiring workers and deaths. • The other one-third of job openings (351,000) will be due to the new jobs that result from economic growth.
And that means education, a willingness to work hard at learning, not just for young people but for anyone wanting to change careers. – H.C.

Temporary Foreign Workers
Program not as intended
Dear Editor, The Conservative government has mismanaged the Temporary Foreign Worker Program so badly they have more than doubled its intake of temporary foreign workers (TFWs), admitting almost as many temporary workers to Canada as new permanent residents in 2012. The end result has been fewer jobs for Canadian workers, the suppression of Canadian wages, and in some cases, the exploitation of vulnerable foreign workers. We cannot allow Canada to become a country that exploits large numbers of guest workers who have no realistic prospect of citizenship. We must restore our core Canadian value of fairness: fairness for Canadians who need work, and fairness for vulnerable people in search of a real opportunity to succeed. Rodger Cuzner, MP Liberal Party of Canada Employment and Social Development Critic [Note: A fuller version of this letter and others are online at www.langleyadvance.com. Click on Opinion.]
many tricksters.) The belief that we are eternal spirits is older than religious faiths. Unfortunately, many religions have been spawned by the belief, and have been written into laws that will make its believers subservient to the dictates of those in charge. One has only to examine the record of differing religious faiths to see the carnage, torture, and death that has resulted. Other religions have similar beliefs in reincarnation as a learning process. Intelligent believers in spiritualism have included brilliant scientists, politicians, and luminaries. I’d be delighted to introduce people far more intelligent than me, including scientists, nurses, and other intellectuals who attend the Lighthouse Spiritualist church in Cloverdale. Those folks can relate tales of having communicated with loved ones who have died bodily but are very much alive in spirit. Mike Harvey, Langley

Stolen wallet
Thieves took advantage of momentary lapse
Dear Editor, Two people stole my wallet at a Safeway store in Langley Sunday evening. They did not turn my wallet in to customer service. I had stepped away for no more than 30 seconds before I returned to find my wallet gone. I’m a senior who lives on a low income. This has placed a lot of stress on me. They can still return it to Safeway or a post office with my license and other cards intact. They got around $40 and a now-cancelled credit card. They could at least return my other cards

and photos. The money, of course, is much needed, too. I want to thank Safeway and the Langley police for their quick action. There luckily was a surveillance camera with the two thieves on the video. I think they just took advantage of a situation, and hopefully, this is not a common action that they do.

A movie shot in here features a local producer and a Langley Fine Arts School grad. by Natasha Jones

Bio
Meet Rustin Gresiuk
I
t has not even been a year since Rustin Gresiuk graduated from Langley Fine Arts. In an interview on a recent cold, Friday night on location at a South Langley property, he spoke fondly of his Langley roots: a student at Belmont Elementary and LFAS, who was also homeschooled. Somewhere in between school and family life, he managed to play in Langley Minor Hockey. Gresiuk began acting at the age of 12, and thanks to his Mom who managed to have him signed by an agency, Gresiuk’s credits already include a role in Flickr 3, and the TV series Fringe, which was filmed in Vancouver. He auditioned for the role of Frank in Suspension at the beginning of March, and within a couple of weeks, the cameras were rolling and
Gresiuk assumed the role of Frank. It’s clear that he is completely at ease in front of the camera. He’s equally relaxed (and utterly charming) in an interview that takes place just before he goes on to his next scene, a house party. Despite his young age, Gresiuk is aware that for all the triumphs, there are many, many more disappointments. And he knows that rejection is all part of the working life of an actor. “In this industry, you need to love what you do,” he said. “You get thousands of Nos and that builds character, and I’m learning to take those Nos to become a better actor. I want to succeed in this industry and do better work on camera,” said Gresiuk, who works with a private acting coach.

ort Langley is known as one of the most ideal settings in B.C. for filming movies. Countless films have shown the fort, the community hall, and the countryside around the historic village. What’s not as well known is that the Langley Fine Arts School, which is situated in Fort Langley, is producing a growing number of graduates destined for film careers. Two actors, one of whom is still a student at LFAS, have landed plum parts in Suspension, a psychological drama. It’s thanks to another graduate that Suspension is being filmed in Langley and Fort Langley in the first place. Jeffrey Lando, a director, producer and cinematographer, had wanted to shoot Suspension in Los Angeles, but Sage Brocklebank convinced him to
choose Langley. Brocklebank, Suspension’s producer, knows Langley well. After all, he is a graduate of the Fine Arts School which has produced one of the leads – Rustin Gresiuk, 19, who plays Frank. The other LFAS student is Annie Bellis. She plays mean girl Brenda. Gresiuk has landed a dream role, although he’s sworn to secrecy over his character. He is hugely impressed by Lando’s directorial expertise, helping actors get inside their character’s personna. That is plainly evident when you see the two go over a scene, frame by frame. “He is amazing, unreal,” Gresiuk said of Lando. “He’s a very good director, very experienced, and he works well with the cast. He shows you exactly what he wants you to do

in each frame.” Kevin Mosley, who is the screenwriter and production designer, said the cast and crew are having a good time working in Langley. “We are having such a blast here. It’s so much fun,” he said. He and Lando had been trying to make the movie for about 10 years. They collaborated on Savage Island, their first independent horror film which did quite well, picking up seven awards in the US and Europe. In 2004, Lando was about to start shooting Suspension, “but we had to pull the plug the day before because we lost our lead actress,” Mosley said. Lando went on to make more movies for sci-fi channels in the US. In November, things began to roll with Suspension, which had a working title of Sitter’s Night. “As the script evolved, we found that the script didn’t fit [the title] so we changed it to Suspension,” he said, adding that he made 28 drafts of the script before he was completely happy. The project was given that name “because it’s about suspension of belief, suspension of reality,” Mosley said, revealing that it has a psychological aspect to the horror, making it a cross between Carrie and Halloween. “This is independent film making at its best,” he said. “Everyone is loving it and making sure it’s the best.” Whether the movie will be shown on television or in cinemas isn’t yet known. “Our goal is for a feature film,” Mosley said. He’s planning for a showing at the Toronto International Film Festival’s Midnight Madness which highlights horror movies.

Quilting is what binds together guild members The Langley Quilters’ Guild hosts its spring show with more than 275 quilts and more. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com
Quilters are nothing if not creative. While there are some traditional techniques, nothing is off-limits at the Langley Quilters’ Guild biennial Quilt Show. Dubbed, The Threads that Bind Us, the show is from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday at the George Preston Recreation Centre at 20699 42nd Ave. Admission is $5. Among the interesting displays of more than 275 quilts will be something known as Fibrescapes, a feature exhibit from the Fibre Art Network (FAN). FAN is a cooperative of Western Canadian fibre artists who use fabric in a variety of ways and 22 of the coop members will be featured at the quilting show.

Created by eight members of the Langley Quilters’ Guild, this slice quilt was based on the photograph above. Also look for the slice quilt named A Slice of Langley that was created by eight quilt artists: Barbara Bettles, Penny Chan-Kent, Barbara Connolly, Nora Fursevich, Carol Hamilton, Pat Hopkins, Lana Kettley, and Deb Plett. According to Jan Cox, a representative of the quilt show, the slice quilt was inspired by another member’s photograph. “Eight enthusiastic members of the Langley

Quilter Carol Hamilton, shown here with her quilt, The Green One, was one of eight Langley Quilters’ Guild members to complete a slice for the quilt A Slice of Langley. (Left) This picture of a quilt made by by Karen Johnson, was taken at a farm on the corner of Telegraph Trail and Glover Road and has been recreated as a quilt.
Quilters’ Guild created this quilt inspired by member Karen Johnson’s photograph of her Cinderella quilt draped over the fence of a much photographed farm located in Langley at the corner of Telegraph Trail and Glover Road,” said Cox. “In the fall of 2013, they made the decision to enlarge the photo and divide or ‘slice’ it vertically into eight sections,” she said. “Each quilter took a section and reinvented the slice by using their own techniques and fabric. Just recently completed, the eight panels will be hung side by side to recreate the entire photograph in an unusual and unique way.” Another creation, by Debra Sanderson, called Roses by the Cabin, is the raffle quilt for this year’s show. The queen size quilt took Sanderson a year to complete. Usual show favourites will also be on site such as a merchant mall with 15 exhibitors, tea room, gift shop, quilt challenge, and a wide range of art and traditional quilts. There is plenty of parking at the George Preston Recreation Centre and the show is wheelchair accessible. Find out more details at www.langleyquiltersguild. com.

Mother’s Day is fast approaching and a great way to treat that special lady in your life is to make her breakfast in bed. One of my all time favourite breakfasts are the ham and cheddar scones that my wife Katherine makes for me. It is one that I request time and time again, and I am happy to share it with you.
Anytime we have made these for anyone, they always get rave reviews. The biggest tip I can give you is to not over mix the dough – this will make the scones tough. Work the dough until it just holds together. Even if the dough looks a bit shaggy, that is ok… we call that “rustic” in the culinary world. Enjoy!
Ham and Cheddar Scones Recipe created by Katherine Desormeaux (Mrs. Chef Dez): “Omit the ham to make cheese scones or omit both ham and cheese for plain scones. You can add raisins or fresh blueberries to the plain scones.” Makes 12 2 cups all purpose flour 1/2 cups granulated sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1 tbsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 cups very cold or frozen butter 3/4 cups old cheddar, grated or cut into quarter inch cubes 3/4 cups ham cut into 1/4 inch cubes 3/4 cups buttermilk 2 tbsp whipping cream, optional

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a jelly roll pan or two cookie sheets with baking spray. Combine flour, sugar, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl. Using a medium fine grater, grate the butter into the flour mixture, stirring occasionally to coat the butter pieces in flour. Toss in the ham and cheddar cubes to coat with flour. Add the buttermilk and stir only enough to moisten. Do not over mix. Divide dough in half. Directly on the baking sheet, form (but don’t over work) each half of the dough into a 6 inch flat circle approximately 1 inch thick. Sprinkle the dough with flour as necessary. Cut each disk into 6 wedges, but don’t separate the wedges from each other – the support from the scones being side-byside will help them rise better. Optional – brush the tops with the whipping cream for a shinier finish. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown. Immediately upon removing from the oven re-cut the scones on the score lines. Cool for 5 minutes on the pan.

Cerebral palsy can’t stop singer A young Langley woman defies her condition by embracing music.
Due to her lack of sight, Melanie Krishna learns the pieces she sings with other Langley Community Chorus members through CDs and MP3s.
by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com
Langley resident Melanie Krishna has cerebral palsy. She is blind and is also confined to a wheelchair. Her love of music however, sets her free and with her, she often takes the audience along for the ride, according to her choir director. It was 2008 when Krishna was escorted to the Langley Community Music School by her sister and caregiver Jeanette, for voice lessons. She was taken under the wing of voice teacher, and director of the Vancouver Orpheus Male Choir, Liana Savard. “I had never taught a student with cerebral palsy but I could see her desire to sing and her keen mind made it clear to me that she was ready to learn,” Savard wrote in a letter about Krishna. Savard and Krishna have often sung duets in Krishna’s lessons and Savard notes, “Through having her sing duets with me and other students I realized she has an excellent sense of ensemble.
Submitted
She can match vowels beautifully, express together with other singers, cut off at the exact time as the others because her hearing is so precise and she has great focus.” In 2010, when Anita Comba was in her first year as the director of the Langley Community Chorus, Krishna was seeking out new activities and ways to interact with others. “The Langley Community Chorus, their wonderful director, Anita Comba, and their audience have welcomed Melanie with open arms,” Savard said. Comba agrees that the connection was ideal. “It was seamless,” Comba said of how Krishna fit into the chorus. “She just has this sense of breathing with the ensem-
ble.” Because she is blind, Krishna learns music through listening. Practice is done through the use of CDs and MP3 recordings. “It is something else,” Comba noted. “She’s really got a gift.” About a year into her voice lessons, Krishna told Savard about a desire to compose music. Savard says she was, “blown away,” when she heard Krishna sing a song she had written. Since that time, Krishna has had one of her songs, “The Song of Canada,” performed by the Langley Community Chorus. This piece will also be performed at the upcoming Mother’s Day concert by the chorus. “We had one concert already and it was really moving [when Krishna’s
song was performed] because the audience gave her a standing ovation,” Comba said. Savard notes that Krishna has been, “Over the moon with excitement about having the Langley Community Chorus sing her song.” Described as “an exceptional individual” by her voice teacher, Savard explains that Krishna shares her talents on a regular basis. “Melanie is so incredibly giving. She is constantly writing songs to thank people in her life that mean a lot to her,” said Savard. Hear “The Song of Canada” and Krishna sing on Mother’s Day, May 11, at the United Churches of Langley (Sharon United) at 21562 Old Yale Road at 3 p.m. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for students, and those 12 and under are free.

That applies to aphids, ants, carrot flies, and many of the destructive apple pests, including the codling moth – the eggs overwinter after being laid after the growing season. Cleaning up where the eggs are likely to be (leaf litter, soil, debris) is an organic way of reducing the problem. On trees, pruning branches with bands of eggs or spraying with dormant oil can help.

Paint out of doors
by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com
Fashion historians Claus Jahnke and Ivan Sayers return to the Langley Centennial Museum in a celebration of fashion with “Art Deco Chic: Women’s Fashions of the 1920s & 1930s.” After all the pre- First World War corsets and tailored curves, post war garments were loose, even sack-like. With the 1930s a sense of natural figures returned, but with geometric styling echoing the Art Deco movement. These styles saw modernism, cubism, and simplicity. Witness the transition at “Art Deco Chic” running from May 10 to Aug 4 at the Langley Centennial Museum at 9135 Fort St. Items on display will blend a reflection of the time’s social and political change as well as differing fashion observations in centres like Paris or Berlin. Join in the opening reception Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m. Admission is free. Special vintage fashion shows will be held on June 1 at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $20. For details contact the Langley Centennial Museum at 604.532.3536 or museum@tol.ca.

The 29th edition of the popular amateur boxing series, Clash at the Cascades, is a go this Friday (May 9), and the card is all about new young boxers coming into the system. “Boxing is hot,” said Dave Allison, president of Combsport, the non-profit that regulates amateur boxing in B.C. “We have never had so many youngsters wanting to box and be involved in the sport. We decided to have a show that will highlight these athletes.”
The new boxers will not get “This will be a great fight and to fight because there is only so a ground breaking match for much room on the card. young Bisla,” Allison predicted.

R.E. Mountain Eagles ball carrier Leroy Deluna readied himself to run through a Chief Dan George Middle School opponent as he made his way down the field in a Grade 8 boys rugby game Tuesday at R.E. Mountain Secondary. The Eagles beat the Abbotsford visitors 69-17 to capture the Upper Fraser Valley Tier 2 Grade 8 title. Next week they take part in the Fraser Valley championships.
Junior lacrosse
Jr. Thunder still searching for first win The Langley Jr. Thunder’s struggles continued Tuesday at Queen’s Park Arena in New Westminster. A 15-4 loss to the host Salmonbellies keeps the Jr. Thunder winless at 0-3 early in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League campaign.
Brett Dobray scored twice for the Jr. Thunder while Tyler Rutherford and James Rahe had the other markers. The Jr. Thunder will look for their first win of 2014 tonight (May 8) at 8 p.m. when they host the Burnaby Lakers at the Langley Events Centre.
Some choices are hard.
A team of Flip City Gymnastics athletes had extra reason to cheer last weekend. At the Okanagan Cheerleading Championships in Kelowna, Flip City Cheer competed in the Youth Level 1 Category. By the end of the competition, they garnered three first place finishes and two second place finishes, two grand champion high scores in their level, and one grand champion overall title. Allstar cheer is a highly competitive sport, combining gymnastic floor skills with stunting and dance, set to two-and-a-half minutes of upbeat music. Flip City Cheer originated in 2012 with a small team of 10 athletes. By 2013 the program grew to

Kalani Aldag, Alyssa Andronyk, Ella Asher, Indiana Bateman, Tristan Craig, Makena Dodd, Katie Elliott, Teagan Fisher, Alexis Haugen, Faith Lige, Emily Parsons, Jadyn St. Onge, Ryse Sture, Alexa Tod, Taya Roode, Tiana Roode, and Cassie Fisher.
