A dog walker and several dog owners have been victimized by a theft that took mere minutes. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A heartless thief stole six dogs out of a parked vehicle Tuesday while it was parked at the off leash dog park in Brookswood. The Langley RCMP say a dog walker had taken the half dozen dogs to the off leash dog park near the 4400 block of 206th Street. The dog walker, and the dogs, are apparently from the Delta area. After the dogs had been given some exercise in the park, the dog walker put her charges into the back of her pickup truck, which had a canopy, and went to use the washroom. She returned about 10 minutes later, to find the canopy unlatched and all six dogs missing. She searched the area for hours but wasn’t able to find any of the dogs, said Cpl. Holly Marks,

Police hunting man linked to murder A car linked to a Cloverdale murder was found near the Surrey-Langley border. by Tom Zytaruk Glacier Media
Police are investigating Surrey’s third homicide of the year after Gregory Quesnelle, 32, was shot inside a townhouse at Rodeo Park Place in Cloverdale. At press time police were looking for Barry McQuarrie,
33, in connection with their investigation. “If located, please do not approach him as he is considered armed and dangerous,” said Sgt. Adam MacIntosh, of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Police had not yet laid charges in the shooting. Yellow police tape surrounded a good part of the townhouse complex at 17445-57 Ave., and part of a commercial complex across the street. The shooting happened just before midnight Monday.
“IHIT and the Surrey RCMP are working together to determine the motive for this homicide including the possibility of it being domestic related,” MacIntosh said. Sukhbir Sahota stepped out of her yoga class across the street on Tuesday morning to see what was going on. “That’s bad, that’s very bad. Crazy,” she said of the shooting. “It’s starting more and more in Surrey.” Meanwhile, police and firefighters were called to an indus-
trial complex at 192nd Street and 28th Avenue in South Surrey just before midnight Tuesday where they found on fire the stolen 2010 Kia Borrego police had been looking for, in connection with the search of McQuarrie. Police said McQuarrie is also wanted on unrelated warrants. Quesnelle, they said, is originally from Ontario and had a criminal record. Anyone with information can call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-5514448. Quesnelle is Surrey’s third homicide victim this year.

Woman flung 10 feet by vehicle
Two helicopters rushed two patients to hospital in separate incidents Tuesday. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Police, firefighters, and BC Ambulance paramedics were at the scene shortly after a pedestrian was hit by a car on Fraser Highway just before 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Langley City fire chief Rory Thompson told the Langley Advance the victim was a 20-yearold woman, who suffered a com-
pound fracture to her right arm. There was also a concern about possible internal injuries, and Langley RCMP later said she had suffered a broken pelvis. However, her injuries are considered non-life threatening, and although serious she is expected to survive and recover. The woman was jaywalking, according to witnesses, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. She was heading from the Willowbrook Shopping Centre to the Esso Station across the street, and had crossed the two westbound lanes and paused on the median. After letting some
traffic pass, she stepped out into the eastbound lanes and was hit by a compact car. One witness apparently told emergency responders the woman flew 10 feet after being struck by the car. Paramedics, City firefighters, and other emergency responders helped the victim, who was taken to hospital via Air Ambulance. The helicopter landed in the parking lot at Willowbrook Shopping Centre. The driver of the car was shaken but not hurt. The impact left dents on the car’s front fender and a sizable crater in the windshield.
The impact left a crater in the safety glass of the car’s windshield.
Matthew Claxton Langley Advance
“Incredulously, while officers continued with their investigation, other pedestrians tried to do the exact same thing,” Marks said. “Fortunately in this instance, the woman will recover, but is one or two minutes time saved by not making your way to a nearby pedestrian crosswalk worth any injury?” The crash was the second
appearance of an Air Ambulance helicopter in Langley in 90 minute. Earlier in the afternoon, an Air Ambulance landed at Nicomekl Elementary on 200th Street and 53rd Avenue. A nearby resident had fallen and struck the back of their head on concrete while doing work around their property, said City fire chief Rory Thompson.
Heavy equipment surrounded the site where an oil pipeline was being inspected on Tuesday in Walnut Grove.

A dig underway along the Trans Mountain Pipeline in Walnut Grove is a routine maintenance operation, and not connected to a proposed expansion. Crews have been digging up a chunk of the pipe near 88th Avenue and 212th Street, along a public walkway between stores and houses. Kinder Morgan, which owns the pipeline that runs crude from northern Alberta to a refinery in Burnaby, periodically inspects its pipes from the inside. Smart tools, which are long torpedo-like devices studded with sensors, shoot down the pipe looking for weaknesses. If anything needs further investigation, crews will dig up sections of the pipeline and check their integrity from the outside. Nearby residents received a notice last week that an integrity dig was to take place. The pipeline has been in place for more than 50 years, but has proved controversial now that Kinder Morgan has applied to almost triple its capacity. The increase in size could also come with changes in the pipeline’s route through North Langley, which has angered property owners who could find it crossing or near their land.

Genetic defect killed tiger A heart defect caused the death of one of the zoo’s Siberian tigers.
Hani the Siberian tiger.
by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The young Siberian tiger that died at Aldergrove’s Greater Vancouver Zoo at the end of April expired of a congenital heart defect. A complete necropsy for Hani, who was almost four, was released by the zoo on Tuesday. A preliminary autopsy had showed a build up of fluid and fibrin in the young tiger’s chest, which is usually caused by an infection, said Dr. Bruce Burton, the zoo’s vet. “However, upon closer inspection, this turned out not to be the case with Hani,” Burton said. Hani suffered from left-sided heart failure, which was the result of some form of cardio-myopathy. Cardio-myopathy is a genetic disease that affects the heart muscle. The underlying problem led to the build up of fluid. Some domestic dogs and cats suffer from a similar disease, and the result is typically a sudden death. There are no warning signs or successful treatment procedures for cardio-myopathy, said

Burton. “It is important to realize that all animals, both wild and domestic, can have fatal genetic, congenital or acquired problems which we are powerless to treat,” said the vet. “We all miss Hani very much, but are comforted to know there was nothing we could have done to have either prevented or treated her condition,” Burton said. The zoo thanked Dr. Ann Britton, and independent veterinary pathologist, who worked on the investigation. The weeks since Hani’s death have been difficult ones for the zoo’s staff and volunteers, according to manager Jodi Henderson. Hani was born in Seoul Zoo, in South Korea, on May 22, 2011. She came to Langley in the summer of 2012 with her sister Hana.

Vanishing act a mystery Vaclav Simek vanished mysteriously a year ago, after last heading to Brookswood. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Simek may still be with his springer spaniel, Tucker.
Police are renewing their calls for public help in finding a man who was last seen more than a year ago in Langley. Vaclav (Walter) Simek of Surrey was reported missing on April 10. He had
not been seen since March 7, when it is believed he was dropped off near 200th Street and 40th Avenue in the Brookswood neighbourhood. Surrey Mounties said there is no evidence to suggest Simek’s disappearance is the result of foul play. Between Feb. 23 and March 7 last year, the missing man rented a car and used it to move belongings out of his residence, to an unknown location. He returned the rental

Vaclav (Walter) Simek seems to have vanished a year ago. car on March 7. After that, there was no activity on any of Simek’s bank accounts or cellphones. There is no evidence suggesting he has left the country. Numerous interviews with his friends, family, and associates have failed to turn up any leads, and checks with government agencies and even inquiries outside of the country have found nothing. Police are hoping to find any information that can bring some answers to Simek’s family. A restoration mason by trade and an avid outdoorsman, Simek was not known to police, and did not have a wide network of friends, say Surrey Mounties. Simek is a 53-year-old Caucasian and stands 6’3” and weighed 210 pounds. He has brown hair and blue eyes. He may still be with his dog, a springer spaniel named Tucker. Anyone with information about this case, no matter how seemingly insignificant, is asked to call the Surrey RCMP Missing Person Unit at 604-5990502, quoting file number 2013-43817. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

It didn’t take long for a Langley RCMP officer to identify the suspect in the Thursday morning robbery of a restaurant – he’d just spoken to the man. Just before 7 a.m., an officer stopped by the Subway franchise in the 5900 block of 200th Street after someone had complained about a suspicious person. The officer found the man matching the description of the suspicious man, and they had a brief conversation, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The man said he was just hanging around waiting for the Subway to open up to serve breakfast. The officer checked, and the man was not wanted, so the officer went on his way. Less than an hour later, police were called again after a masked man entered the store brandishing a club and demanding cash. The man made off with about $50. The officer who had checked into the “suspicious person” noted that the description of the robber, and his clothing, matched the man he’d talked to. The officer quickly located the man nearby and arrested him without incident, Marks said. The money taken was returned to Subway. Charges against the suspect have been recommended to Crown prosecutors.

The young woman responded to a job posting on an online classified ad service for a “mystery shopper” job, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The “company” called the young woman and told her she had the job, Marks said. The woman was told she would get a message in the mail with two cheques, for a total of $3,000. She was to deposit the cheques in her own bank account, then go to a Shoppers Drug Mart, and send a money order to an account in the United States. The scammers promised to pay the woman $400 for each transaction. Marks said the 26-yearold never received any payment, and now has to reimburse the bank for the money she withdrew. The cheques she was sent had not cleared. Marks said that there are both legitimate jobs and frauds on job websites. “Be cautious of any job requiring you to use your own bank account or sending money via cheque,” said Marks. If you do accept a cheque, confirm that any funds have cleared before making a withdrawal. In general, Marks said job seekers can look up businesses and their records through the Better Business Bureau, and check to confirm that any phone numbers and addresses provided really belong to the firm.

Teams will race around Langley
An Amazing Race style challenge will take participants all over this community. by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
There will be several two-person teams scrambling around Langley on May 17 as they take part in the Langley Race, an Amazing Race-style event being organized by a local woman. Lora-Lynne Hanley is the organizer. “Last year I did a race that went along the SkyTrain for my husband’s birthday. Everyone loved it so I thought I would do it again,” she said. “It might turn into an annual thing. I do have ideas for at least another two races. It would depend on
the interest.” It’s run on a shoestring, the only funding comes from the entry fees ($50 per person or $100 per team). “I’m the only one organizing the race,” Hanley explained. “I do have people helping at all the different stops. The challenges do need to be kept secret for the racers. So far, no one knows where they are going.” Their travels will take them to all corners of this community. There’s room for one more team. Anyone interested can get details by emailing chyphris@hotmail.com. Teams of two will set out and have from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. to complete seven challenges scattered around Langley. But it’s not all brawn. The race requires brains as well. There’s challenges, and clues and physical tasks to complete.

No more time left for denying
For years we’ve been told that climate change is going to be the unfortunate legacy we leave to our children. But it turns out now that we don’t have to wait that long. A new report by more than 300 top scientists has made clear that climate change is already here. Although meteorologists are at pains to point out that weather is not climate, most adults can’t help but be struck by the remarkable changes in temperatures, seasons, and unusual weather patterns, discernible to even non-scientists, that have occurred in our lifetimes. As the report makes clear, the changes are borne out by science. They are caused by human activity generating greenhouse gases, and they are happening more quickly than predicted. Most of the effects are extremely detrimental. They include increasing numbers of hurricanes and tornadoes, heavy rains in some parts of North America, and drought in others. On the West Coast, reduced snow pack, rising sea levels and ocean acidification, storm surges, and forest infestations are just some of the challenges likely to get worse in the future. Those West Coast scallops you love? Kiss them goodbye soon. The coastal waters have already become too acidic for them to survive. The question remains, what are we willing to do about it? Despite widespread acknowledgement of concern, Canada’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions remain inadequate. Oil and gas production is one of our country’s largest contributors to the problem. Yet our government largely refuses to recognize it, much less move to mitigate it in any realistic way. This latest report makes it clear, however, that the time to act is now. Because a dramatically altered planet will soon be everyone’s problem. – from the North Shore News

Odd Thoughts
Hunters insulted across Canada
Dear Editor, As a hunter, I’m obviously not overly impressed with your column [Gardeners – the real tough guys, May 13 Odd Thoughts, Langley Advance]. I’m saddened to see that your paper found it perfectly fine to insult hundreds of thousands of hunters in this country by calling us all irresponsible, law-breaking alcoholics… and also, for whatever reason, overweight. Let’s clear some things up: it’s actually illegal to hunt or operate a firearm under the influence of alco-
hol. Us fat killing machines raining bullets all over the place wait until our killing sprees are completed and our guns locked up securely before we get right salty. And our poor victims are selected by what season it is, not which cuddly creature we’d like to drunkenly annihilate that afternoon. Sarcasm aside, hunting regulations are extremely strict, and every hunter has to complete a Hunters Education Course and pass a test before being allowed to apply for the license, not to mention the firearm laws
Langley Memorial Hospital
Father’s care appreciated
Dear Editor, Our father recently passed. He spent an extended time at Langley Memorial Hospital on 2 South. We have read many letters in the paper, in which people have voiced their displeasure with the hospital staff and our medical system. Though the nurses have many patients under their care, our experience was very different. We would like to personally thank the staff on 2 South, especially Renee, Mandy, and Manni – and others whose names we don’t know – for the care that they gave “Roy.” His last days with us were better because of their care. Words can’t express how grateful we are for their support and compassion to Roy and all of our family. It is never easy to lose a family member, but it gave us comfort to know he was taken care of when we couldn’t be there. The Moore Family, Langley

in this country that make it extremely difficult for a person to obtain a firearm. That also comes with stringent testing, as well as extensive background checks done by the RCMP, which includes interviews of associates to determine any risk whatsoever of the applicant using a firearm irresponsibly (say, while drunk in a blind). Any hunter not following the rules (no alcohol being a big one) is probably not a licensed hunter and would be considered a poacher. Hunters do not hate animals or kill them for giggles. We are actually the number one contributors to wildlife conservation. Look it up. Although I know that as the editor of this news source as well as the writer of the column you probably don’t care, I thought that maybe you’d like to get a few facts straight before alienating and insulting a good portion of your readers. I have a feeling you’ll have a busy day reading letters like mine. Ericka Verhulst, via email For more letters to the editor visit... www.langleyadvance.com – Click on Opinion.

Historic festivities remain relatively unchanged The May Day events, including the popular parade, are back again on Monday in the village. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
T
he history of May Day parades in Fort Langley stretches pretty far back. This Monday, May 19, the 92nd parade will wind its way through the village streets. The celebration is almost a century old – the Second World War interrupted things. It remains steeped in tradition, while changing and growing with the community. From the pancake breakfast to the parade to Maypole dancing, the day is filled with events from morning to the late afternoon. “It’s a really, really big deal,” said Lynda Davidson, president of the Fort Langley Lions Club, which has taken on organizing duties for the last several years. “This year we started planning in December.” The day begins with pancakes at the Lion’s hall at 23022 88th Monday, May 19 Ave., where parade 8:30-10 a.m. – Pancake breakfast participants will also be 8-10 a.m. – parade registration registering the numer11 a.m. – Parade ous entries. “As of right now, Noon – Arrival of May Queen and party Maypole Dancing we have 64,” Wendy Canessa, the parade 1-4 p.m. – Rides for kids, mini golf, organizer, said midfood vendors, retail vendors, Lions week. barbecue The number of floats has been increasing slowly over the past few years, mostly hovering between 60 and 65 entries. “For just a little parade that we organize, we do pretty good,” Canessa said.

Maypole dancing and live entertainment will continue until 4 p.m., and in case anyone was still hungry after scarfing down the Lions pancakes, there will be a number of food options on site. “We also do the famous barbecue chicken in the park,” said Davidson.
One of the new events this year will be a draw for children who watched the parade. Maps handed out to viewers along the route will include a questionnaire on the back. Children can fill it out and have it dropped off at the park, and there will be a draw for a kids basket. The whole event comes with free parking, including some on the orchard lawn near the Fort Langley National Historic Site.

of,” said Robyn, the big sister at 22. “And we were so honoured to be asked to sing the Canadian and American anthems this year,” chimed in 19-year-old Ryleigh. The siblings, simply known on stage as Robyn & Ryleigh, are an emerging country/pop duo that has been garnering a fair amount of attention since the release of their self-named debut album last year. And while they’ve been travelling a fair amount of late, including a recent trip to Nashville, they’re excited to be performing in their own backyard during the May long weekend. “We have been at the rodeo a few

The duo will be performing in between rodeo performances. In fact, they’re slated to perform in the Stetson Bowl, on Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m., then Sunday and Monday at 2:30 p.m. The Cloverdale Rodeo runs from May 16 to 19, at the Cloverdale fairgrounds.

Bylaw 2014 No. 5071 was enacted on an interim basis so that Council, in consultation with the public, could consider amending the Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan or creating a permanent tree bylaw. Under the new bylaw, no one (including land owners) can remove more than 8 trees or 20 per cent of the trees on a parcel of land, whichever is less, until the bylaw is repealed.

Tree Bylaw Boundary
The bylaw only affects properties in the geographic area outlined in the Brookswood/Fernridge Community Plan (see map) and does not apply to land within the Agricultural Land Reserve or land being used as a farm operation. Trees can still be removed if they are blocking sightlines under the Township’s highway and traffic bylaw or if they are in an area approved by provincial regulation for a septic field or water well. Trees may be removed if necessary for the construction of a building, if approved by a development permit, development variance permit, or building permit issued by the Township of Langley. Trees can also be removed if they are hazardous, as certified by an arborist, or in case of an emergency, if certification is received by the Township Engineer within 30 days of the cutting. The prohibition is being taken very seriously and those who are convicted of violating the bylaw by damaging or removing protected trees face a fine of not less than $500 and not more than $10,000 per tree.

There is nothing as enjoyable as doing good for others while also doing something loved. A Taste of Langley delivers just that on May 26, with an ability to taste dishes from five downtown restaurants while proceeds from the event support The Langley Lodge and programs of the Rotary Club of Langley Sunrise. As the second year for the co-organized event between the lodge and the Rotary club, tickets are going quickly according to Tom Louie with the Rotary. “We were at about 85 percent of capacity last year, so hopefully we will do better this year,” he said. “[Ticket sales are] really going well. Hopefully we will sell out the week before.” It wouldn’t be surprising to see the event sell out given the excellent lineup of restaurants involved. On the list of stops are: Old Yale Bistro, Choo-Choo’s, Shiraz, Viva Mexico!, and Ban Chok Dee. Restaurants will serve a single course to each member of the five groups of travelling patrons. Louie notes the event tickets outline which restaurant to meet at for the 6 p.m. start and the order of the future stops “their tour guide will escort them to the others.” Because the restaurants are close, it’s about five to 10 minutes of walking between each one with about 35 minutes for

Summer Maintenance of Rural Boulevards and Ditches The Township of Langley currently utilizes three full-time and one seasonal roadside grass mowers for ditch mowing. This equipment has predetermined routes, or an assigned area to follow. Should the equipment be pulled away to do a specific request it only lengthens the time it takes to fully complete all the rural boulevards and ditches. If you have a request for mowing or brushwacking, we ask that you be patient as we try to fit the work schedule in as efficiently as possible. The Township, along with Provincial and Federal agencies, have classified the open channel water systems into three categories: Class A ditches are fish bearing; Class B ditches are fish habitat. Both of these categories require formal approval before any work can be completed. Class C ditches are deemed to have no fish or fish habitat issues whatsoever and require notification only for work to take place. Therefore, how or when a ditch is cleaned will depend on its classification. We thank you for your understanding as we operate under these requirements. Engineering Division 604.532.7300

Krista Barton of the Langley Township Fire Department has some tips on how to avoid injury or fire when barbecuing this summer.
Cooking outdoors
It’s time to bring out the grill… safely When grilling, do so in safety this summer, advise local firefighters.
I
t’s that time of year again: time to tie on an apron, grab some steaks or burgers, invite family and friends over, and fire up the grill. While cooking and entertaining outdoors are some of the great joys that come with the warmer weather, precautions must be taken to ensure injuries are prevented and barbecuing is a safe activity. “Whether you are grilling with propane or charcoal, there are a number of steps you can take to make sure the cook, your guests, and your home are protected from fire and burns,” said Township of Langley public fire and life safety educator Krista Barton. Barbecue grills should only be used outdoors and placed well away from the home and deck railing, and kept out from the
eaves and overhanging tree branches. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grilling area and never leave a barbecue unattended. Keep your barbecue clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grill and in the trays below.
Propane Grills
W
hen using a propane grill, inspect it before using it for the first time each season and replace worn or rusted fittings, flex hoses, or burners. Ensure the burner ports inside the grill are free of rust, dust, dirt, or other debris. Always test for leaks at the cylinder connection before lighting the grill by brushing a mixture of 50 per cent liquid soap and 50 per cent water onto any connection or valve. Rising bubbles indicate a leak. Always make sure the gas grill lid is open before lighting it. If the flame goes out, turn the grill and gas off and wait for 15 minutes before re-lighting.

Questions & Answers
No ridding little flowers Dear Anne,
“I have this horrible weed/flower invading the grass in my front yard. It had little blue flowers in early spring. It has spread through about half my yard. How do I get rid of it?
Y
Jean Konda-Witte, Abbotsford
ou have violets in your lawn – and violets are hard to eradicate. I don’t think a broadleaf herbicide will kill them, and a broad spectrum herbicide would kill everything. You might try covering the lawn with black plastic for a couple of years, then removing the surface soil (removing violet seeds), bringing in new soil, and seeding the grass. But that is so onerous it’s almost unworkable. In any case, I wonder where the violets came from? If the source of the violet seeds (neighbours? city land?) is still there, seeds could blow in again, and they’d be back. Your best bet is to shade the violets out by cutting the grass a full seven centimetres (three inches) long, and treating your lawn so well that it stays lush and thick. The violets will remain because they have very deep roots. But they won’t be as visible, because they’d be submerged in long grass. Nor will they spread as fast, because grass is a strong competitor.

Dear Anne,
“Last year my zucchinis all fell off the stems when they were about five centimetres long. Any advice?”
Y
Neil, Langley
our zucchinis have a pollination problem. That is happening in more garden, as honeybees are vanishing. But bumblebees and many tiny wild flies (resembling wasps) still pollinate flowers. Mason bees aren’t much help with zucchinis and other late-flowering vegetables, because they die off by the beginning of June. Try planting pollinator-attracting flowers near your zucchini area, such as dill, chervil, coriander, mint, fennel, and sweet cicely. If you let a few carrots, cabbage, or parsnips go to seed nearby, they’ll also draw masses of pollinators Your alternative is hand-pollinating the zucchini flowers. The female flower has a small, round knob in the centre of the bloom. The male flower has spiky stamens. Take a new paintbrush, and brush pollen from the male flowers into the female blooms. Hand-pollinating is more work than adding pollinating plants, but you’ll need it, if your first female zucchini flowers open before the pollinator-attracting flowers do.

Dear Anne,
“I want to move some tulips for next spring. Shall I leave them where they are, or can I store them until the fall after the foliage has died back?
D

Lorraine Davis, Vancouver
igging and storing is best, because tulip bulbs need thorough drying, otherwise they tend to get fungus diseases. Some tulips can come back for several years if the bed they’re in is never watered in summer and we have a dry summer. But fungus will strike in a wet summer. For storing, dig up your tulips when the leaves turn yellow, and take them inside till completely dry. Then clean off the soil, discard any diseased or damaged bulbs, and let them dry more. Store them in a mesh bag or in cardboard boxes, and replant next fall.

Lawn clippings and yard waste go in as well, along with shredded documents, which the Dycks place at the bottom of the can to absorb any moisture. “It’s nice and clean and you don’t have to spend any money,” said Leona. “We’re totally on board. It’s our tax dollars doing some good.” The Green Can program is available to single-family households that receive municipal garbage pickup from the Township of Langley. Residents can purchase a 77 or 80 litre can, or use their old yard trimmings can. Collected food scraps, along with yard waste, are then placed in the can, which should be no heavier than 44 pounds. The cans must be marked with Green Can stickers which can be picked up at any Township recreation centre, the Civic Facility, or Operations Centre. Place Green Cans on the curb, with the decal facing the street. The cans are picked up on regular garbage and recycling collection days, and there is no limit to the number of Green Cans that can be set out. Food scraps collected from Township residents

Writing can be in-tents at times Fort Langley National Historic Site hosted a writer in April. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Go back about a century and a half, and there were only a few things being written inside the walls of the Hudson’s Bay Company fort on the banks of the Fraser River. The factor at Fort Langley wrote a journal of events, and he and his staff would keep records of the trading they did with the local Kwantlen people, and with others who arrived from around the region. Now there is some serious writing going on inside the fort. Langley historian K. Jane Watt is the first “writer in residence” to settle in at Fort Langley. Watt spent the last two weeks of April with her laptop, books, and research materials inside one of the oTENTik tents near the fort’s Big House. She admitted the idea was hers, suggested to the management of the historical site. “I love these tents,” she said. Watt has stayed in them before, and thought the idea of writing on site would be fun, especially since she’s currently working on a book about the local history of the HBC. When she spoke to the Advance, Watt was in her first week of residence and was enjoying the sound of rain on the roof of the tent. She was also taking time out of her writing to meet with visitors to the fort, and to speak to anyone curious about her work and the area’s history. Watt’s new book in progress will be about the agricultural history of Fort Langley and the farms established by the HBC and its early traders. The story of how the
traders grew their food includes more than simple details about farming practices in the 19th century. She said one of the interesting things about her research is seeing how fast farming practices can be exchanged between cultures. The Kwantlen people had been planting potatoes for some time on MacMillan Island, for example. Potatoes aren’t native to B.C. – the Kwantlen got them in trade from groups like the Haida, far up the coast. The Haida got them from the Spanish, and the Spanish found them cultivated in the Andes mountains by Peruvian peoples. European traders and settlers also learned about a number of local greens and berries, including cranberries, from the Kwantlen. Cranberries are still cultivated widely on the floodplains near Fort Langley. “There was a real cultural exchange around food,” said Watt. The environment around Fort Langley in the early days of the trading post was very multi-ethnic and multi-lingual, Watt noted. Different groups brought different food cravings. The workers brought in from Hawaii loved the local salmon, for example, but the French-Canadian traders were nostalgic for pork and beef, and wanted more red meat. The fort’s traders had multiple areas for farming, including around Milner, which became a massive farm. Some land there has been farmed continuously for over a century. Watt worked on her book for about two weeks during the writer in residence time. If the program becomes formalized and open to multiple writers, she says she wants a slot reserved for her around the same time next year. “It’s fantastic, I love it,” Watt said.

Multi-sport event
Drive for Games volunteers in full swing
Between 1,500 and 1,800 volunteers are needed for a four-day event this September in Langley.
Not only do the Langleys boast quality sporting venues to welcome close to 4,000 BC Seniors Games athletes in September, the communities also have a long history of strong volunteerism. Langley is welcoming more than 3,500 athletes, ages 55plus, from across the province for the multi-sport competition taking place Sept. 9-13. And the Games Organizing Committee is confident that upwards of 2,000 volunteers will step forward to ensure that a quality three days of sport is presented to visitors. “We are in need of between 1,500 and 1,800 volunteers,” Langley Games president Milt Kruger said. “Opportunities exist for helping with any of the 25 sports in addition to the support areas.”

Walk for FM
Walkers involved in the inaugural Free Us From Fibro Walk crossed Fraser Highway, heading south along 206th Street on Saturday afternoon. The walk raised funds and awareness to help people afflicted with fibromyalgia, a condition that causes chronic muscle and soft tissue pain and tendersness on both sides of the body, above and below the waist. Fibromyalgia affects 900,000 Canadians, and women are at least four times more likely than men to develop fibromyalgia. It usually occurs in people who are over the age of 50. Warning signs are stiffness, trouble sleeping, fatigue, poor memory and concentration, numbness, as well as depression, migraine headaches, and pain in the jaw. For information or to donate, visit fibrowellspring. org. The walk started at the Fibromyalgia Well Spring Foundation’s head office and thrift store at 109-20631 Fraser Hwy.

Big Bike riders raise big bucks for Foundation
A unique fundraiser was in Langley last week. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The Heart and Stroke Foundation’s Big Bike rolled around Langley last Thursday, May 8, with groups such as Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Curves pedalling madly. “This is a first year team for them,” said Shannon Dumas, the Big Bike coordinator for Langley, Surrey, and White Rock. The Big Bike is a 30person, pedal-powered vehicle as long as a shuttle
bus. It’s intended to draw attention to the cause of heart health, give its riders a bit of exercise, and let them have some fun while raising money. This isn’t quite the first time Kwantlen has ever put a team together for the Big Bike, but it is the first time since at least 1993 or 1994, when the school was still a community college. Only one or two of the riders on Thursday’s team had ever participated before. Linda Gomes said there was a lot of enthusiasm for the new team this year. “It filled in 48 hours,” she said of the 30 spots on
the team’s roster. She may have to add a second bike in the future, she said. The women on the team wore feather boas while the men were decked out
in elaborate, oversized sunglasses. “We brought our team spirit with us,” said Gomes. The team members come from Langley and all the other campuses including Surrey and Cloverdale, and include a variety of administrators, professors, deans, and managers. • CoUns • BaYs • PapVY MonV[ TOP DOLLAR The teamwANTeD! set off on a HelP All Jewellery PaYt from tUmV oppoYtXnUt[ foYlot route the parking PAID ON somVonV WUth compXtVY • Go\d • SU\vVY • P\atUnXm DUamonds of skU\\s. the Cascades Casino MXst bV bondab\V • wYUst oY PockVt watchVs around Langley City and and tYXstWoYth[ WUth THE SPOT! • DVnta\ Go\d • SU\vVY F\atWaYV thV abU\Ut[ to YVspVct back. confUdVntUa\Ut[.

They’re after my bras, and yours, too. Sonya Perkins has been operating Forever Yours Lingerie in downtown Langley for almost two decades, and has found an interesting and different way to give back. I’ve recently learned that through the years she has received countless one-off requests for undergarments. Those requests have come from various people (ie social workers) and organizations asking Perkins to help people in need – that has included women whose homes were destroyed by fire, and new teenage mothers in desperate need of nursing bras. It was this need in the community that prompted Perkins to create a new charitable initiative called Supportive Start, and she and her team are currently running a bra drive aimed at collecting new and gently used bras of all sizes. “Through our Supportive Start initiative, we will be better able to direct resources to those who need it,” Perkins said. Donations can be dropped at Forever Yours at 20460 Fraser Hwy. And, to mark the launch, Forever Yours is hosting Ooh LaLa, a Lingerie Fashion Affair on Friday, May 23 at Cascades. The event will be hosted by Dawn Chubai and include burlesque performances by

History pays
The Hudson Bay Company holds an important spot in the Langley history books, so when I heard about The Bay reaching out and rewarding local students, I thought that kind of cool. The company, celebrating its 344th birthday, invited classes across the country to take part in an online scavenger hunt. Younger kids were asked questions about the fur trade and exploration, while older kids were asked about business and entrepreneurship. Aldergrove Community Secondary took home top prize in the senior category, winning $500 cash, as well as heritage books and resource materials. Kudos kids, way to go!

Senior A lacrosse
Thunder enter season minus world-class flash
tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
The one constant about the Langley Thunder’s Western Lacrosse Association off-season has been change. The Thunder are missing world-class talent from last year’s team, and as a result, the holes in Langley’s 2014 lineup appear cavernous. The first name that jumps off the board is Garrett Billings, a right-handed ball wizard and Langley native who earlier this month underwent surgery on a torn ACL in his right knee. Ironically, the injury occurred at the Thunder’s home, the Langley Events Centre, during an April 5 National Lacrosse League game. Billings and the Toronto Rock were visiting the Vancouver Stealth in the pro lacrosse match-up. At the time of the injury, Billings had eclipsed the 100point plateau for the third consecutive season. Billings – who only dressed for five games with the Thunder in 2013 – isn’t the only offensive threat who won’t be around this

The Thunder represented the WLA in the 2012 and ’11 Mann Cups, losing to the host Peterborough Lakers in 2012, and to the visiting Brampton Excelsiors at the LEC three summers ago. Moving forward, veteran bench boss Rod Jensen and the Thunder coaching staff have some work ahead of them. “We’ve dropped a lot in terms of NLL experience and talent, no question about it,” Jensen said. “We’re quite a bit of an underdog, right now. That’s unfortunate for us. We hit the wall last year during the Victoria series, and now we have to regroup.” But it’s not like the Thunder will be devoid of talent and experience this season. Coming back up front are veterans Athan Iannucci and Alex Turner, who’ll be counted on to spark the Thunder’s attack. Also, Joel McCready is healthy and ready to play. Also returning are captain Matt Troy Landreville/Langley Advance Leveque, defender Brett Mydske, The Langley Thunder will look to veteran Athan Iannucci (pictured in action last year against the Coquitlam Adanacs) to provide and giant goaltender Brodie leadership to a team that is msising several key players this Western Lacrosse Association season.
