The low hum of honey bees in flight hangs over Shelley Armstrong’s rural Langley property. Her path to becoming one of Langley’s growing number of beekeepers has passed from family tradition to hobby to full-time profession. Now she passes on her expertise, and provides more hives to an industry that’s been hard hit over the past few years. On a warm weekday in late May, Armstrong was at work in her yard, checking out hives for queens and drones, pulling away excess wax comb, and preparing to rebuild hives to create nuclei for new hives. She worked calmly, picking up the rectangular frames with her bare hands. While she wears a beekeeper’s hood, she prefers to work bare-handed to get a better feel for the hives, so she can be gentler. She also uses smoke to keep the bees docile. The smoke works in two ways,

Armstrong said. First, bees instinctively retreat from smoke, and move to eat honey in case they have to flee from a hive-destroying fire. Secondly, it blocks the spread of the chemicals bees release when they’re alarmed or have just stung someone. A sting on her thumb doesn’t slow Armstrong down, as she calmly scrapes it out and keeps working. Thursday, May 29, is the Day of the Honey Bee in B.C., marking 156 years since the first domesticated bee hives were brought to this province. Bees are an ancient domesticated animal, and many people have beekeepers, or apiarists, in their family tree. Armstrong’s work with bees started with her grandfather, a beekeeper in England. “As a really young child, I loved the smell of his honey house,” said Armstrong. She studied biology at university in Ontario, including bees, but it wasn’t until 2006, when she and her husband bought their Langley home, that she felt ready to start keeping a few hives. It started with a few, but the numbers increased.

The Langley Advance is proud to be a sponsor of the upcoming Spirit of the Coast journey…

“It’s hard to stop,” Armstrong said. It had been 10 years since she had worked with or studied bees in university, and Armstrong said even as a hobbyist, she had some catching up to do on the field. She took courses at the Honeybee Centre in Surrey and through SFU’s Bee Master course. Then in 2009, she lost her job and her first son was on the way, and she was looking for something she could do closer to home. Expanding her hobby to a job beckoned. “It just sort of happened,” she said. She wanted to do something she genuinely loved with all her heart, Armstrong said. Now Armstrong keeps 50 active hives on her property, with between 60,000 to 100,000 bees in each hive. Some beekeepers raise bees for the honey, others truck them from farm to farm to provide pollination services to the many berry farmers in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.

Fast waters pose challenges

The public is invited to help send off a team of adventurers Sunday on a threemonth 1,300-km trip to Alaska. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

The mighty Fraser River is flowing much faster than expected, causing some hiccups for organizers leading up to the imminent Spirit of the Coast canoe journey. Regardless, all paddles will hit the water around 1:30 or 2 p.m. on Sunday as adventurer Chris Cooper and his core team of three canoeists – including Fort Langley’s own Brandon Gabriel – begin their three-month, 1,300-kilometre trek to Alaska. Following a private breakfast and canoeblessing ceremony hosted by the Kwantlen First Nation on Sunday morning, this “lifealtering” excursion will begin with a public send off from the Bedford Channel in Fort Langley. People are invited to gather in the Bedford Landing Waterfront Plaza to hear some of the speeches and give the adventurers a “proper” send off.

New beekeepers face steep learning curve …continued from page A1

Armstrong primarily works on creating new hives for others, breeding new queens and drones. She’ll casually pick up the male drones from her hives – they have no stingers – and she admires their big eyes and fuzzy abdomens. At this time of year, she’s rearing a lot of queens, said Armstrong. Like all beekeepers, she also collects honey, selling some of it but keeping a great deal for her family or giving it away to friends. “We call it the universal currency,” she said. Because she’s a beekeeper, her yard abounds in flowers, most of them wild. “I deal with my yard around food for the honeybees,” said Armstrong. “I won’t let my husband cut the grass when the dandelions are blooming.” From the perspective of the provincial Ministry of Agriculture, and hundreds of farmers around B.C., the most important factor in beekeeping is making sure there are plenty of both bees and beekeepers around for years to come. Because numerous crops rely on bees for pollination, a major concern in recent years has been colony collapse disorder, in which hives seem to simply empty out or die off, particularly over the winters. Scientific studies have pointed to a number of factors, including parasitic mites, but most new research has pinned a good portion of the blame on certain insecticides used on commercial crops, especially a category known as neonicotinoids. With the threat of a loss of pollination, supporting bee health has become a more important issue than ever before. Working to help beekeepers are organizaMatthew Claxton/Langley Advance tions like the Langley Shelley Armstrong uses smoke while Bee Club, of which Armstrong is the treasworking on her hives. urer. It has around 150 members and regularly meets in a local church. In addition, the community of beekeepers tend to help one another out, mentoring people new to the hobby or the business. There are also various bee education programs that run at colleges and universities including at Kwantlen Polytechnic. Armstrong mentioned the support of the Ministry of Agriculture’s bee inspectors, which provide free support services to beekeepers, and the Animal Health Centre provides diagnostics on bee health. All that support, formal and informal, is there for a reason: there’s plenty of room for new people to enter beekeeping. As many municipalities around the region have loosened their regulations on keeping back yard hives, more amateurs are getting into the game. “It’s not cheap,” said Armstrong. A starter hive costs roughly $350 to $500, she said. The first jar of honey out of a hive is often the most expensive the beekeeper will have ever eaten, she noted. Then there are the troubles fending off colony collapse disorder and the other issues that plague bees. But for those who go professional, there is a real market, particularly in pollination. Provincially, about $250 million worth of agricultural production every year depends on bee pollination. Fruit, berries, and canola crops in particular need bees to thrive. “Certainly there’s a shortage of bees come pollination time,” said Armstrong. Some farms bring in bees from Alberta, but smaller farmers are the ones most in need, as they have the fewest resources. Armstrong said there’s a place for smaller beekeepers to enter the market to work with them. For those looking into the hobby or field, she says there’s no substitute for hands on knowledge. “You learn a lot by doing it,” she said. She recommends beekeeping courses as well as talking to existing apiarists. “There’s a lot to know, it’s a steep learning curve,” said Armstrong. She’s still keen to welcome more people to the world of beekeeping, however.

Truck mangled in train crash

A driver survived getting clipped by a train in North Aldergrove. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A pickup truck driver is lucky to be alive after colliding with a train Wednesday morning near the Gloucester industrial area in eastern Langley. The truck’s front end was mangled by the train, at 60th Avenue and 272nd Street, but the cab remained largely intact.

The road was closed temporarily until the truck was towed. According to both Langley RCMP and Township assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson, the driver and the engineers on the train were not seriously hurt. Ferguson said the driver suffered only minor injuries. It was the second non-fatal collision between a car and a train in Langley this month. Earlier, a woman was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries after colliding with a train at a crossing on Smith Road near Glover Road.

The man accused of three counts of attempted murder after allegedly torching his estranged wife’s home may apply for release on bail next month. Andre Richard has been charged with a 13 offenses, including arson, assault with a weapon, break and enter, and arson. It is alleged that Richard attacked his family home on April 2, harming both his wife and daughter. He was under court orders to stay away from the house at the time. The house was gutted by fire, but his wife, daughter, and son escaped the flames. Police immediately began a manhunt for Richard, even while suspecting for a time that he might have died in the fire himself. Richard was arrested in Fernie in southeast B.C. on April 3, after a driver reported an erratically driven vehicle. He was brought back to the Lower Mainland to face trial, and at his initial court appearance, he consented to be remanded in custody rather than immediately asking for bail. When a suspect consents to remaining in custody, they can ask for bail at a later time. Richard is now scheduled for a fix date hearing for June 13 for a show cause appearance. That’s the first possible step in applying for bail, known technically as judicial interim release. A bail hearing is unlikely for June 13th, but could be held later in the month or during the summer. So far, the Crown has not heard from Richard’s lawyers that they will apply for release. If there is an application, the Crown will argue that he should be kept behind bars awaiting trial. “We will be opposing the release of the accused,” said Samantha Hulme, a spokesperson for the B.C. provincial Crown.

The province recently offered a $1,200 signing bonus and backed its demand for a 10-year contract down to six years. Iker said teachers have just had two years of legislated zero per cent wage increases, and the offer from the province is “in reality, another two years of zeros.” “They’ve showed an unwillingness to move off the key issues of class size, class composition, and Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance specialist teacher ratios, Elementary school teacher Dunja especially since we’ve got the Supreme court decision McCrae spoke with BCTF president Jim Iker when he visited Langley in January,” Iker added. Langley Teachers’ Fine Arts School May 27. Association (LTA) president Gail Chaddock-Costello said teachers designed their job action to have the least impact on students while still putting pressure on government. In response, the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) announced pay cuts of five to 10 per cent, for the reduced workload, and that teachers were not allowed to be at the school more than 45 minutes before class and 45 minutes after class. The time limit applies to schools not closed during the four days of rotating strikes. Teachers are also restricted from supervising students at recess and lunch, and are also expected to leave school property at those times. Chaddock-Costello said that’s had a huge impact on students, noting that, because of the province’s restrictions on teachers, several school events and trips have had to be cancelled. Iker said there are key issues up in the air. While the Ministry of Education says teachers are covered for volunteer and extracurricular activities for such things as liability and WCB, there’s nothing in writing in general, “never mind during a walkout,” he noted. Despite the problems Tuesday’s job action caused parents, teachers say they still have support in the public.

Grab a summer frock or favourite shirt and don an amazing hat for an afternoon of horse jumping, wine, food, and prizes at Thunderbird Showpark Sunday. The Grand Prix Gala, now in its ninth year, benefits Langley schools. Organizer Susan Cairns is the executive director of the Langley School District Foundation and noted it’s an afternoon like no other. “Wear a magnificent hat or a fascinator,” she said. “A lot of people do dress up. But you see everything from summer frocks to jeans and a nice top.” No matter the attire, the event is an exciting one. It kicks off at 1 p.m. running to 4 p.m. with a variety of horse jumping events held at Thunderbird Showpark. “Thunderbird has been a wonderful main sponsor,” Cairnes added. Under the tents, gourmet hors d’oeuvres will be served along with decadent desserts. Tables are situated to allow for chatting, but the real focus is always the horses. “There are tables and people can sit at the tables and watch the show or they can move around,” Cairns said. Thunderbird is one of the top three horse jumping venues in North America and attendees at the Grand Prix are known to ooh, ahh, and gasp as beautiful animals are flawlessly guided over jumps and around obstacles. In addition to food and horse jumping, wineries will set up in the Timberframe building as a by-donation tasting room. “There are 12 different wineries this year serving premium wines,” noted Cairns. “They’re all from B.C.” Plus, there will be prizes and a silent auction. “There is a set of diamond earrings from Golden Tree Jewellers,” Cairns said. “And a trip to Port Ludlow with hotel, kayaking, dinner, and golf. There are so many great prizes.” Supporting the event means supporting Langley students in a variety of areas. “Langley Concrete and Tile, Facet Advisors, and Fred Welsh Industries are main sponsors, and are helping with our focus

Twenty Years and Counting for Walnut Grove Ricky’s

or more than 20 years, the owners of the Ricky’s All Day Grill in the Walnut Grove community of Langley, B.C. have successfully traversed the hills and valleys of the highly competitive restaurant business, and maintained equilibrium through the ebbs and flows of the economy, all the while serving nearly three million meals to hungry loyal customers.

When asked why their family restaurant has remained so popular, franchisees Cori and Dean Scott say there has been one constant in their ever-changing universe – their customers, which they consider part of their extended family. “We learned early on that we were really in the people business,” said Cori, who manages the restaurant with her husband Dean. The Scott family opened the restaurant 20 years ago. “We’ve been here for our customers through thick and thin, celebrating graduations, marriages and births, and even sharing the sorrow of loved ones passing.” In turn, their customers have been there for them. When the Ricky’s opened here, there were few houses and a small population. But as the community grew, so did the restaurant’s business and it quickly became a neighborhood essential. Cori says the only population that has been as loyal as her customers are her employees,

some of whom have been with her for the two decades. “We were here when a few of our employees were born, and now they work with us. They are amazing and we wouldn’t be successful without them.”

We’ve had lots of laughs, shed a few tears, worked hard for our living and made many good friends. Ricky’s own history began as a pancake restaurant in British Columbia in 1962. Since the late 1970s, it has evolved into a successful restaurant franchise and a leader in the mid-scale casual dining category. The Ricky’s owned and operated by Cori and Dean is a two-time winner of the Franchisee of the Year award. Not surprisingly, this restaurant is often used as a training store for new franchisees. “They model the best practices of the chain” said Stacey Hansson, Ricky’s VP of Operations. “They never get complacent. They always keep trying to make the restaurant better and more enjoyable, both for their staff and their customers. They have high standards, but never forget to have fun.”

When planning their 20th Anniversary Celebration, true to form, Cori and Dean organized the event so they could celebrate with their loyal guests. It was very important to the Scotts that these folks knew they were appreciated for their years of patronage. The couple relies upon the Ricky’s Franchise Support Center for promotional support and to help them adapt to changes and trends in the marketplace. Their encouragement has also helped buoy their spirits at times and keep them charging ahead at full steam.

It’s been a remarkable two decades for the Scott family. “We’ve had lots of laughs, shed a few tears, worked hard for our living and made many good friends,” said Cori. “And that’s not a bad accounting for 20 years of serving our community.”

Help out your flying friends

Thursday, May 29, is the Day of the Honey Bee in British Columbia, marking more than a century and a half since domesticated bees were first brought to this province. Farmers contribute an enormous amount to B.C., from the sizeable place they hold in the economy, to their place in ensuring our food security, to their stewardship of the land for future generations. And they have plenty to fret about: weather, markets, changing tastes. One of the worries they’ve had in recent years is the decline in the number of honeybees active in North America and parts of Europe, a phenomenon known as Colony Collapse Disorder. The decline has tapered off in recent years, but is still a concern for beekeepers and those who depend on them. With no bees, hundreds of millions of dollars worth of crops would be destroyed or reduced in value, as yields drop to almost nothing for fruit, berries, and other crops that require pollination by honeybees. Is there anything we can do to support bees, and the beekeepers who raise them? Aside from eating more delicious honey, the simplest thing may be to avoid the use of certain pesticides that have been implicated in the decline of bee colonies. A number of scientific studies have pointed towards the causes of Colony Collapse Disorder residing in the overuse of a class of pesticides, and other studies have suggested that the mites – and even the chemicals used to control mites – are part of the problem. This winter was a relatively good one for bees, with fewer hives lost over the cold months. More than any one regulatory change, simply calling on government to take the health of bees seriously, and to keep an eye on the industry, is likely to have the best outcome for bees in the long run. – M.C..

Not all teens are hooligans Newcomer impressed by Langley

Dear Editor, I am a 16-year-old. I’ve been working for a local landscaping company for about three years, and had recently cashed a $300 pay cheque which was sitting in my wallet, feeling quite heavy. I was walking around downtown Langley with my girlfriend, and we noticed a small hobby shop that looked promising. My girlfriend, Storm, and I love hobby shops like this. She is very into comics and superheroes, while I am more of a hard core Star Wars type of guy. We walked in the door and I was immediately in awe of all the things they had: a to-scale Millennium Falcon, tons of action figures; it was like my dream come true. I gravitated to a big model X-wing, and carefully picked it up, to revel in its beauty. I examined it for a little bit, while Storm was most likely off looking at an X-Men action figure of some sort. Then I carefully put it back where it was. I meandered around the shop for a bit, not quite sure what to look at next, and found myself at the front counter: a glass display case that held lots of little toys and cards and other little collectibles. I stood looking for a couple seconds before I was interrupted by the man at the

front desk. In an angry, mocking voice, he said, “Oh you think it’s really funny, ‘I’ll touch this, touch that, so funny.’” My smile left as I realized he wasn’t actually going to tell me something funny. I thought for a minute about what I could have done to spark his angry look, and why he was calling me out. I had walked into the store and looked around, just as any adult would have done. My only error was my age and appearance. I was pegged as a teenaged hooligan, merely because of my long hair and clothes. I looked up at the man, pulled out three $100 bills from my wallet, looked down at them, and said, “I guess I’ll go back to Toy Traders,” and left his store... which is really quite a shame, because I would have been back there many times to buy things for myself, my friends, and siblings, for birthday gifts and Christmas. So to other small business owners I say, when a young man or woman comes into your store to look around, do not immediately paint them all with the same brush. My creed is that everyone is innocent of being “a hooligan” until proven a hooligan. And as George Elliot said, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Sam Romeyn, Milner

Appreciation

Capeless crusader a super hero nonetheless

Dear Editor, My hero doesn’t wear a cape. She wields love through the darkest of times, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t a proper hero. She goes to battle with the devil in all of his forms, then comes home and finds the strength to love us despite our many faults. My hero’s encounters with the devil can leave her drained; they can weigh heavily on her shoulders and crack her resolve.

It isn’t fair that someone so incredible has to flirt with evil so often; she shouldn’t have been forced to be a hero. Despite her pain, her radiant smile lights up a room and she continues on. My hero has sacrificed her life and sanity to put us through ours, despite the trials we continue to face. Though we don’t always show it, we are thankful for everything she has given up with us in mind. Julia Roccola, Brookswood

Ride for Doug

Langley boy at heart of motorcycle fundraiser A 200 km motorcycle ride, starting and finishing in Langley, will raise funds to help a local boy and others living with muscular dystrophy. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Theresa Wiebe Photography

Doug Penner, 11, is the inspiration behind Ride For Doug, an annual fundraising motorcycle ride that raises funds in the quest to find a cure for muscular dystrophy. The 2014 ride sets off at 1 p.m. this Sunday, June 1, from South Langley Church, 20098 22nd Ave. The Langley boy has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).

Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation

A happy-go-lucky Langley boy is the inspiration behind an annual motorcycle ride that raises funds in a quest for a cure for muscular dystrophy. Ride For Doug, in honour of Doug Penner, takes the motorcyclists on a 200-kilometre journey along the roads of Langley, Abbotsford, and Mission. This year’s ride, set for Sunday, June 1, begins

and ends at South Langley Church at 20098 22nd Ave. with two “leg-stretching” stops along the way. At one stop, riders will be treated to cookies baked by Doug’s 14-yearold sister Samantha and her grandma. Registration is from 12:30 until the convoy leaves at 1 p.m. The plan is for riders to return to the church in time for a 5:30 p.m. barbecue, joined by friends and family of both Doug

Boot scootin’ and diamond diggin’ Denim and Diamonds is in aid of the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com

It’s not quite diamonds in the rough, but there will be the chance to dig for diamonds at the Langley Memorial Hospital Denim and Diamonds gala June 7. According to Errin Young of the hospital’s foundation, searching for diamonds is definitely a chief component of the event. “The Diamond Dig is the big fundraiser of the evening,” Young noted. For $20 participants can take their shot (or three chances for $50) at digging for a $10,000

valued diamond jewelry piece courtesy of Creative Goldsmiths and Hall Constructors. Always a great opportunity to dress up, the gala is the perfect event for black tie and bling, but paired with boots or flat shoes, Young advised. “It’s being held in the indoor riding ring at the High Point Equestrian Club on their crushed gravel surface,” Young said. The Saturday night event will kick off with complimentary cocktails at 6 p.m. and dinner served at 7:15 p.m. “It’s family style,” Young noted. Platters of food are served to each table with guests able to take how much of each dish they want. A highlight of the evening is the live auction, not to mention the competi-

tion inherent in the silent auction. Prizes are diverse and range from sports ticket packages to a Whistler experience to a backyard barbeque party, and more. Live entertainment will be provided by Langley’s very own Robyn and Ryleigh as well as BCCMA award winner Karen Lee Batten. Funds raised will support the purchase of urgent, life-saving equipment for the hospital. The hospitals program directors and unit managers come up with the suggested equipment and the hospital’s leadership team determines the purchases. “We have an ongoing list of the priorities,” Young explained. With close to 350 guests expected, there are only a few tickets left. Find out more at www.lmhfoundation.com/gala.

After filming a music video in the northeast corner of Langley last week, the local singer is prepping for her June 5 album release party for Cause a Scene. It takes place at the Fan Club on Granville Street. The video is for Life Worth Living which is set to drop June 3 and is the second single from Cause a Scene. “It’s such a feel good song and one that reminds me every day about what really matters in life. We all live crazy busy lives and it’s kind of like the quote we have all heard for years ‘don’t forget to stop and smell the roses’. That’s what this song is about, life flies by and it’s the time we have with our family, friends, memories we share, places we get to see – whatever makes you really happy. That’s what matters,” Batten told the Langley Advance. Not that she’s following that advice right now, being crazy busy. “I love it though, I love travelling, meeting new people, and most of all, performing,” she said. “I leave on a cross Canada TV/radio tour next month, and have lots of shows this summer.” That’s what matters to her. And the gala is one of her shows. “It will be such a great night for a great cause,” she said. She’s also booked for the second Gone Country – The Twins Cancer Fundraiser in late July, hosted by Chad Brownlee and Brett Kissell. As Batten continues to work on

her country music career, she’s finding more acceptance. There’s the fan support but also local businesses are wanting to sell her recordings. “It really amazes me how great of a community this is, and I am proud to say I live here,” she said.

Robyn and Ryleigh

Langley’s Gillespie sisters, just off a performance at the Cloverdale Rodeo on the May long weekend, will be putting out new music in June. They wrote the material in Nashville recently, a trip they contend was a game changer. “We co-wrote with some amazing writers and came home with a few new songs. We loved it! It was our first time there but definitely not our last,” said Ryleigh. Next these Brookswood Secondary grads are showcasing their talents for their hometown fans at the Denim and Diamonds Gala. That’s a fundraising event for the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation. “Very excited to be a part of this one,” Ryleigh said. The funds raised are used by the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation to purchase equipment. The foundation’s most recent campaign was an expansion of the outdated maternity ward. They, too, are musicians on the go having also done shows around the Pacific Northwest and Alberta since last year and more on the way. On June 12, they are at the Hard Rock Casino for Country Nights.

Next production

Call sent out for big autumn cast Auditions for Langley Players’ fall show are being held on June 8 and 9. by Roxanne Hooper

Diane Gendron photos

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Langley Players’ production of Light Sensitive (above) won a number of awards, including set decoration, while veteran actor and stage hand Mike Busswood (inset) of Langley City earned the best acting award with Surrey Little Theatre.

angley Players’ own Mary Renvall is putting the call out for one of the largest casts in recent memory. She’s looking for 11 people, seven women and four men, to star in the community theatre group’s fall production of Cocktails at Pam’s. And although summer hasn’t yet arrived, Renvall – in her capacity as production manager – is calling on potential candidates to try out. Auditions are being held at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200th St. on Sunday, June 8, from 1 to 4 p.m., and on Monday, June 9, from 7 to 9 p.m., with callbacks on June 11. The comedy, written by Canadian playwright Lemoine Stewart, is set in 1965 when lead character Pam proves it’s not easy being the perfect hostess. The play is being directed by Dave Williams, who is seeking an ensemble of actors aged 25 and older. There are no appointments for auditions. Actors will be seen on a first-come, first-served basis. It is a non-equity production, and actors are asked to bring a resume and headshot to the audition where they’ll be asked to do a cold read from the script, Renvall said. Those interested can show up for auditions, or ahead of time contact the director, Dave Williams, at da4419@telus.net, or Mary Renvall at maryrenvall@ gmail.com. Scripts are available from the director, upon request. The show runs Oct. 16 to Nov. 15, with possible holdovers running to Nov. 22.

Thespians scoop up set awards

A troupe of Langley theatrelovers brought home bling from a regional theatre competition. by Roxanne Hooper

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Langley set decorator, a veteran Langley actor, a Langley director, and the community’s long-standing Langley Players Drama Club brought home a number of top honours from this weekend’s regional theatre competitions. The Fraser Valley Zone Festival, as it’s known, was hosted in Chilliwack last week, with six groups performing plays. The competition culminated in an awards night on Saturday.

Langley Players brought home three awards for their spring production of Light Sensitive. The local troupe earned best set decoration, credited to Langley’s Vicki Nelson, Surrey’s Karen McTavish, and Pitt Meadows resident Norley Smith. It was the threesome’s first attempt at decorating a set. Langley Players also brought home the best supporting actor award, thanks to Surrey’s Reginald Pillay, and the best actress award was collected by Surrey’s Alaina Holland, an honour she shared with an actress from the Chilliwack Players Guild. The list of Langley winners doesn’t end there, however. Surrey Little Theatre scooped up two awards for their production of Drawer Boy, and both of those were earned by Langley residents.

The best set design award was won by the play’s director, June Ainsworth of Langley, and veteran Langley City thespian Mike Busswood was named best actor. The calibre of the shows was “outstanding” this year, said Raymond Hatton, the chair of this year’s Theatre BC Fraser Valley Zone event. The Willoughby resident credited that, in part, to a relatively new educational component, called the adjudicator’s tour. An experienced artistic director, Stephen Drover, travelled to the different clubs two months ahead of the competition and spent several hours watching and working with rehearsing teams. Hatton described the workshops as invaluable: “I think, without question, it elevated the quality of the productions.”

Fungus-harbouring insects suck Dear Anne,

“Our camellia is developing a black powdery substance on its leaves. This rubs off but is even discolouring the side of the house and the neighbouring rhododendron. The plant doesn’t seem to be suffering too much – but it’s really become unsightly. Any suggestions?”

Checking for eggs on the undersides of leaves is also helpful, in case you have scale insects, not aphids. Or you could have both. If sunlight and air circulation are blocked, sooty mold is more likely to attack.

In the Garden by Anne Marrison

says in their catalog that the plant is hardy from zone 39. So who’s right?”

Sometimes the camellia has very dense growth, or perhaps surrounding trees have grown and are hogging the light. Anyway, it helps to prune off the most infected branches. Spraying will penetrate better, and so will air and sunlight. If the bush is quite small, you could pick off the most badly infected leaves. Blasts of water can dislodge many of the aphids. For generally cleaning the bush somewhat, a tablespoon of Neem oil in a gallon of water can be useful. To cut off the next generation of scale, try dor-

mant oil sprays. They can smother scale eggs. The undersides of both shrubs should always be kept clear of fallen leaves or prunings, because they harbor fungus spores that re-infect the bush in spring. That debris shouldn’t be composted. It should go to green waste. Dear Anne,

“I tried to get some asclepias (butterfly weed) from a nursery because I want to plant things that will encourage the bees and butterflies. But the woman in the nursery told me they don’t have it as a perennial because it’s not hardy. But I’m getting conflicting information because Botanus

ooty Mold is common with camellias. The two most likely causes are aphids or scale insects. All are sap-suckers that excrete a sweet substance which coats the leaves and attracts ants which eat this ‘honeydew.’ Fungi are also attracted, and that’s what gives the honeydew its sooty colour. You’ll need to check whether ants are crawling up the trunk of your camellia and your rhododendron. If they are, it’s important to stop them. As long as the ants can get up there, your problems will continue. Garden centres sell insect-trapping substances such as Tanglefoot. They are sticky products that should be smeared on a plastic or cloth band that can be fastened around the trunks of shrubs. It should be put on so that it can be removed and discarded when necessary. All sap-sucking insects seek out shrubs with lots of tender green growth. High-nitrogen fertilizers encourage that. Balanced, slow-release fertilizers or compost make better choices.

otanus is right. There are loads of different asclepias species. Some are tender, but most would be hardy here. Two of the toughest and most popular ones are Asclepias tuberosa and Asclepias incarnata, both hardy to zone 3 and listed by Botanus. Asclepias tuberosa is very drought-tolerant, but its deep taproots make it hard to transplant, once it’s established. It’s also slow to emerge in spring. But later, it gives a full three months of flowers from summer into fall. The bright orange forms are especially spectacular.

Development

WOLF offers tours of Township greenspace The public is invited to tour a Township site in Aldergrove that’s slated for development. by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Free guided tours of a Langley Township site that is slated for development take place this Saturday. The Township is looking at developing the creekside forest site. It runs along Bertrand Creek from about 26th to 28th Avenue. The free tours run 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. and have been organized by the Watchers of Langley Forests (WOLF), the group that fought to prevent the Township from selling McLellan Forest in North Langley. Tours start from Creekside Park, 28th Avenue and 274th Street. At the same time on Saturday there’s a forestry awareness event happening at Aldergrove Athletic Park (covered picnic area). The Township has faced opposition over the sale of the 19.1 acre Aldergrove property. The Township was pre-

Steven Hayek photos

The site once had a sewage lagoon and abuts Abbotsford to the east and the Agricultural Land Reserve to the south.

Langley Advance files

Jessica Horst spoke to the Langley Advance in the new year about wanting to keep part of the forested lands along the Bertand Creek in their natural state. sented with more than 200 signatures on a petition opposing the project. The Township plans to use funds generated from the development to fund the Aldergrove pool. The Township wants to develop the property into 61 residential lots but several residents want a portion of the land left as greenspace for public use. Councillors decided that, with Bertrand Creek running through the prop-

erty, there will be sufficient green space, due to riparian area buffer zone requirements. About 40 per cent of the site will be undeveloped due to the creek. As well, the land butts up on the Agricultural Land Reserve on the south and Abbotsford’s border on the east. The northeast corner of the site was once a lagoon. It was the site of the Township’s water treat-

ment plant. The engineering department declared the land surplus and is working on ensuring it’s compliant with remediation requirements so it can be developed. The Township was told that the site contains lots of low-value trees, with the growth being 40-50 years old. About two thirds of the trees are evergreens. Based on Langley School

District estimates, the homes would add about 100 kids to local schools but there is capacity with area schools. For the Saturday event there will be an information station informing residents about the proposed development. Residents can sign a petition in favour of stopping the development into the forest. There will be craft, game and facepainting stations

for kids. Hot dogs and beverages will be served at lunch time for free or by donation. Harriet the Owl will be there for about an hour in the morning. Visitors can have their picture taken with the owl for $5 and all funds raised will be donated to WOLF. Anyone wanting more information can contact savemclellanpark@gmail. com.

Maxine Donald, left, and Adele Craven of Maxim Eyes were very welcoming of the You’ve Gotta Have Friends Kindness Connects initiative. “We’ve actually been out and about all week in the community,” Weibelzahl said. “We want to raise awareness about kindness and how kindness connects people. Sometimes that’s how a friendship starts.” A supply of stickers has been given to businesses and organizations who want to participate in Kindness Connects with instructions to give one out whenever an act of kindness is noticed. YGHF representatives have been from Aldergrove to Fort Langley, downtown to Brookswood and all points in between, sharing the message.

You’ve Gotta Have Friends photos

Mark Steensma and a staff member at George’s Meat show off the You’ve Gotta Have Friends Kindness Connects sticker. “The response has just been great,” noted Weibelzahl. “When you mention kindness, people just light up. They know it’s important and we’ve had some great conversations while we’ve been out there.” The weeklong stickering activities come to a head Friday night at 6 p.m. in McBurney Lane with a concert by the four-person group, The Timewalkers. “We thought of course it would be something we’d want to do as part of this week,” Weibelzahl said of the concert. “We’re mentioning it to people all this week and are inviting them to it.” Eli Bryan Nelson, guitarist, vocalist, and bassist with The Timewalkers noted that it is through his wife’s involvement in the community that the relationship with YGHF grew. “I’ve played for them maybe three or four times in the past,” he said. “They just decided to give us a shot. It’s a really nice, good organization that improves people’s lives.” The Timewalkers have been together formally for a little more than a year, born out of another local project. “We were involved in a project called Food Bank Tuesday,” Nelson noted. “We all had so much fun playing together, it just morphed into something where we all four played together.” The band now has a video and has produced a

CD which will be on sale at the McBurney Lane concert. “Since then [the creation of the video and the CD] it has just been incredible,” Nelson added.” Obviously good weather is the hope for Friday night. Nelson has been checking the forecast. “Chances are we’re going to see reasonably good weather,” he said. “We get a lot more people with passersby.” As a yearlong event, YGHF will visit businesses three more times to ensure stickers are stocked up, people are recognized, and the message that kindness matters is shared.

The show, 2-4 p.m. on June 1, features Art Deco fashion. It’s one of the few fashion styles that mirrored other art of the time such as architecture and even furniture making. The more simple, straight garments were a

reaction against the previous era of tight corsets, exaggerated curves and tailored garments. The clothing items presented will contrast what was happening on the world’s fashion scenes in Paris and Berlin with what would have been worn on the streets of Langley Prairie. The fashion show caps a museum exhibit that opened May 10 to show how fashions reflected the political and social upheaval of the time. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased by contacting 604-532-3536 or museum@tol.ca.

doing needlework, painstakingly creating images one stitch at a time. “I can see how it’s influenced me, because I get really picky,” said ClarkeJennings. She finally switched over from holding a needle to holding a paintbrush, out of frustration. “I came to the conclusion I don’t like counting,” she said of the process of carefully watching your fabric and stitches. “This is so much freer,” she said of her painting. She was exposed to paintings first at her greatgrandmother’s home, where she had a clear memory of seeing a large painting hanging in the living room. After that initial fascination and her decision to give up needlework, it was a friend’s invitation to take a class on learning to draw that finally got her involved in the art world 32 years ago. Clarke-Jennings took classes at Kwantlen Polytechnic and the Academy of Art, and she began working on her own. “A sketchbook, you can take with you anytime,” she noted. Some of her biggest artistic inspirations are three women: Georgia O’Keeffe, Frida Kahlo, and British Columbia’s Emily Carr. Jumping between art forms, Clarke-Jennings said she often interprets paintings in metaphors drawn from music. “Every one of those ladies painted in a different musical style,” said Clarke-Jennings. Carr’s majestic deepgreen West Coast trees are “symphonic,” while O’Keefe’s paintings of flowers and New Mexico are “jazzier.” “It’s like I could hear music while I was looking at these paintings,” she said. She listens to music

while painting, and often changes songs to suit the mood for the work in progress. The huge red flower in her current show was painted with Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. Clarke-Jennings painted for many years while working with her family running a Langley import business. Sometimes she could get lost in the process, she said. “You just go into this zone, and the next thing you know, it’s way later than you thought,” she said. “It’s nice when you can get to that place.” The show runs June 1-30 at ABC Fine Art Gallery in downtown Langley. The show, like her painting career, began in a roundabout way. A conversation at the Bloomin’ Artists Gift Gallery in Langley City led to a suggestion of making some prints to sell, with proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Society. She went to ABC Fine Art owner Toby Malek, who shows work by local artists and makes prints. After he saw the pieces considered for prints, she was offered the show. He said he wants to foster the local art community in Langley, and is hosting a solo show each month at his gallery, each one with a specific theme. In light of the works and the print sales for the Cancer Society, the theme of June’s show will be hope, Malek said. The prints will be up for purchase at both Bloomin’ Artists and at McBurney’s Coffee & Tea House. To see all 30 paintings, spanning five years of Clarke-Jenkins’s work, visit the ABC gallery, at 20573 Fraser Hwy. A reception for the exhibition will be held June 5, from 5-7:30 p.m. This is Clarke-Jennings’s second solo show.

A Langley business coach is on cloud nine this week, after earning national accolades among her industry peers. During a ceremony at the Marriott Pinnacle hotel in Vancouver last Thursday, Beverlee Rasmussen was named the 2014 International Coach Federation business coach of the year. “When I first started helping small business owners officially six years ago, I didn’t even want to call myself a coach. I didn’t really know what to call me,” she recounted. She settled for “business consultant” and headed off with her “wellplanned out agendas and timelines.” She quickly learned she had tools to help a business, but what she was missing were tools to help the people owning the business. Rasmussen needed to learn how to coach, and that she has done, obviously very well, given these accolades. “It’s a pretty big honour,” Rasmussen said. Kudos!

Hats off to the team at Save-On-Foods in Willowbrook for their efforts on Saturday to Help Hunger Disappear. The Campbell Soup company of Canada launched the seventh year of the national hunger program last week, is aimed at creating awareness and driving food donations for local food banks. As part of that effort, Campbells joined forces with the team at the 64th Avenue Save-On-Foods to host a fun food drive kickoff this past Saturday. The results, said the store assistant manager Brent Taylor, were heartwarming. As the weather warms up, donations to the Langley Food Bank (like all food banks across Canada) tend to decline, but thankfully this event alone helped generate about $500 and a small pickup load full of food. The six-hour family-oriented event in front of the grocery store included free car washes with the purchase of food bundles for the food bank, a children’s amusement area complete with bouncy castles, balloons, and facepainting, and a barbecue with all proceeds to the food bank. “Everyone was really appreciative,” Taylor said. “What kid doesn’t love a bouncy castle, and I think everyone loved donating to such a good cause.” The Help Hunger Disappear food drive continues locally at the Willowbrook Save-On store until June 6.

Japanese Knotweed Roadside Control Strategy

Japanese Knotweed is an invasive species whose root system has the potential to ruin home foundations, roads, parking lots, sewerage, and water main infrastructure. The Township of Langley is working to eliminate the threat of this invasive plant. You may see markers along various roads identifying where Japanese Knotweed is located. Do not remove the plants or mow these areas. Improper removal of the plant could result in the plant reproducing rapidly or spreading further.

The Roads Department is spraying a mild herbicide to control the Japanese Knotweed. The removal process will take several treatments and inspections throughout the year. After the roots are killed, the plant stock will be removed and discarded safely. For more information on the roadside control program, contact: Engineering Division 604.533.6006 tol.ca/invasive

Latimer Neighbourhood Plan

On April 29, 2014, Township of Langley Council adopted a new, temporary bylaw to regulate, prohibit, and impose requirements on tree clear-cutting in Brookswood/Fernridge. 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.

The Township of Langley is holding an open house to present the draft Latimer Neighbourhood Plan. Residents, property owners, and business owners of the community are encouraged to attend the open house and provide input on the plan. Date: Time: Place: Address:

A partial road closure will be in effect on Gloucester Way southbound from 56 Avenue at the 26500 block. The full-time, temporary closure is scheduled to begin Monday, June 2 and will continue until Monday, July 21. The closure is required for the construction of a new storm sewer. A detour route is outlined on the map.

The plan provides a more sustainable neighbourhood through provision of:

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. Specific details and the entire Interim Tree Clear-Cutting Bylaw 2014 No. 5071 can be viewed on the Township’s website at tol.ca, under About the Township/Bylaws/All bylaws. To report a tree cutting incident in the Brookswood/Fernridge area, call the Township’s Tree Protection Hotline at 604.532.7520.

Tournament play

Blitz live up to the name at nationals tourney

A U17 girls volleyball team proved recently that it is one of Canada’s best.

Langley’s Fraser Valley Blitz U17 girls volleyball team earned attention and accolades at a national championship in Edmonton in May. The Blitz finished fifth out of 96 teams at the Canadian National U18 Girls Volleyball Championships, held at the University of Alberta. The Blitz’s fifth place result was a significant achievement considering that they went into the championship ranked 27th, and they’re playing up a year, in the older and stronger U18 Division 1/Tier 1 age bracket, Langley’s FVVC U17 Blitz girls volleyball team huddled to with two of their players playing discuss strategy during a game at the recent Canadian national up two years. championships, where they finished fifth out of 96 teams, while The tourney brought together playing up in the older U18 age bracket. 96 teams from most provinces to compete in multiple divisions push ourselves and our physical While and tiers. and mental development,” Blitz the top two Three other Fraser Valley head coach David Carrasco said. teams would Volleyball Club (FVVC) teams “The team worked very hard advance to also attended the event and for each other, gelled as sisters, the top tier all placed well, including the and we finished strong, which for day two, U18 girls who won bronze in gives the players and us coaches their goal U18 Division 2/Tier 1, the U17 a positive feeling for next year was to win boys who won gold in Division when we will play in our own the pool.

Montreal’s Celtiques, which left playoffs Sunday, but they had “We discussed it as a team the Blitz in a three-way tie in the one last game against the Ducks. and decided to play up a year to pool. The Blitz were seeking payback.

All season, the Blitz hadn’t beaten the Ducks, who hold previous multiple provincial and national championship titles. The match started with an exciting 25-23 set win for the Blitz. As champions often do, the Ducks bounced back in the second set with a 25-20 win, leading to a third tie-breaker set. This final set swung back and forth until the Ducks pulled ahead and won 15-9. The loss to the Ducks left the Blitz to face the Cobras from Manitoba in the quarter-final playoffs on day three of the tournament.

The Cobras were ranked fourth of 96 teams coming into the championship. “The way we played all weekend, and the resilience the girls showed in some games where we had to come from behind for the win, made the team believe they were capable of going all the way,” assistant coach Lauren Carrasco stated. No stranger to big game pressure, Lauren Carrasco (O’Reilly) played with TWU, Team Canada, and professionally in Europe so her experience and calm helped the Blitz deal with the psychological pressures of the moment, which is often the deciding factor in big games like this. The match began with the

Cobras racing out ahead with an early lead but the Blitz battled back to make the game very close to the end, however the Cobras came out on top with a 25-23 win. Heading into the second set the Cobras were careful not to be overconfident against their younger adversaries, as the Blitz had defeated several top teams all weekend, so they continued their consistent and exceptional play and got the second win over the Blitz 25-21. The loss ended their championship run and left the Blitz feeling saddened until the coaches reminded them that they finished fifth out of 96 teams while playing a year up. Another bittersweet consolation was that the Cobras went on to win the championship with a win over the Victoria Titans that, based on the 25-18, 25-18 score, appeared an easier win than when the Cobras faced the Blitz. After the match, the Blitz players commented, “we came together as a new team this year and all season we worked hard, developed our skills, and played well. We dug deep, believed in each other, and rose to new heights. We didn’t win a medal but our fifth place finish in Canada at an older age bracket is golden to us.” The talent of the players, most of whom are over six feet tall, is substantiated by the fact that three of them are already committed to university teams and the rest of the players are in discussions with university coaches about their university and volleyball futures. The team includes: Paige Bergen, Nicole Chevrier, Laura Findlay, Emma Kastelein, Cara Keturakis, Angelica Kilberg, Karah Kostamo, Brooke Mothe, Brie O’Reilly, Cassidy Pearson, and coaches David and Lauren Carrasco.

Bronze game rained out North Langley hitters blasted four out-of-thepark at a tournament. A ill-timed spring soaker put a halt to the North Langley Blue Jays’ fun last weekend. The team, mostly of 12year-old players as well as two 10-year-olds and a pair of 11-year-olds, piled up runs at the weathershortened Vancouver Minor Baseball Presidents Cup peewee AAA tournament May 22-25.

Before the event was interrupted by rain on Sunday, the North Langley squad took home honours as top defensive team and top offensive team after out-scoring their collective opponents 49-19. After going unbeaten last Friday and Saturday, the Blue Jays’ lone loss was an 8-7 setback to the Gibsons White Sox on Sunday morning. They were set to play the Vancouver Jays in the bronze medal game, but it, along with the gold medal contest pitting the White

Sox against the Cloverdale Cardinals, was rained out. For the Blue Jays, the tournament was marked by strong pitching and defence, along with a record four out-of-the park home runs. The Blue Jays include Joey Yeomans, Alex Crone, Dylan Frayne, Sensho Hung, Elias Blum, Nick Sarrazin, Keagan Novis, Tyler Harrison, Jaxon Wood, Isaiah Peters, Jesse Nielsen, and Caleb Kaufmann. The team is coached By John Yeomans.

History

What’s your favourite vintage Model, eh?

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

While Mike Breed may not be Langley’s principal guru of Model A vehicles, he’s certainly one of them. The secretary of the Pacific Model A Club has 11 Model As parked on his sprawling Brookswood property, six of which he owns. He restores, shows, and has a general passion for the Ford models, manufactured from late 1927 to 1931. Need a question answered about a Model A? Breed will likely have the answer you’re looking for, as a pair of 90-year-old residents of Pennsylvania recently found out. While visiting the state, Breed and wife Lil drove through a little town, where he caught a glimpse of the front end of a Model A parked inside a stone shop with its door open. His interest naturally piqued, Breed quickly introduced himself to the two men. Breed learned that the

car was purchased, brand new, by the grandfather of Photos one of the men, and had been sitting in a barn built by the grandfather a century ago. Layar or And it turned out, these online two seniors were in a pickle. They were trying to get the car up and running for use in the area’s Memorial Day Parade last weekend. “They were having trouble timing it, so I was able to take the time to show them how to get it timed and do it for them,” Breed said. “They were tickled pink with the idea that somebody would stop and help them out. It worked out well.” A 73-year-old transplanted New Zealander who Troy Landreville/Langley Advance arrived in Canada in 1962, Mike Breed is a Model A aficionado, and has nearly a dozen of the cars parked on his Brookswood property. Breed bought his first Model As were originally manufactured between 1927 and ’31.

doors “flying open,” Breed said. In its heyday, a twodoor Model A right off the assembly line would set you back about $460, according to Breed. “That was affordable to a man working in the ’30s,” he said. Breed said he does a lot of restoration work while lending his mechanical expertise to members of other Model A clubs as well as private owners. One such car, a 1930 Sport Coupe that Breed said he did a full restoration on, belonged to a man who has since passed away. “I had to panic to get it finished because he had cancer, and I wanted to get it together, for him to drive it, which he did,” Breed said. “It’s now owned by his widow, and she does not have a place to keep it, but I do.” Breed will be showing one of his cars at the Pacific Model A Club’s 26th annual show Sunday at the BC Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum. Model A Sunday runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the museum, 9131 King St., on June 1.
