Young man stabbed at bus loop The victim and suspect in a downtown attack are both known to police. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
Langley RCMP have a suspect in custody after a stabbing in broad daylight at the Langley City bus loop Tuesday morning. At about 11 a.m., the victim was stabbed a number of times, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The attack took place near the Logan Avenue bus loop. The attack was witnessed by on-duty police officers from one of the Lower Mainland’s special police units, said Marks. The officers followed the suspect from the scene of the crime and arrested him. The suspect was then turned over to the custody of Langley Mounties. According to Langley City Fire Chief Rory Thompson, the vic-

Paramedics, firefighters, and police officers cleaned up at the scene of a stabbing in Langley City on Tuesday morning. tim has wounds to his neck and chest. He is in his late teens or early 20s. He said that it appeared the victim would survive. City firefighters were the first medical responders to arrive at the scene, followed by B.C. Ambulance paramedics. The suspect is a man in his early 20s. Both he and the victim are known to local police, said Marks. “Presently, the victim is not overly co-operative with the investigation,” said Marks. This is not the first problem with violent crime at the down-
town bus loop. In May, an intoxicated passenger attempted to attack two bus drivers, then tried to stab a passenger and finally took a swing at a third driver before being arrested. In 2008, a man was swarmed by teenagers and hit in the head repeatedly with a bottle. In 2007, a teenager pummelled a middle-aged man with a skateboard and put the victim into a coma for two days. In the wake of those incidents, questions were raised about whether TransLink should have a security camera at the site.
Although the camera was not installed due to privacy, there have been changes downtown that put a greater focus on security, including the area around the bus loop, said acting Mayor Ted Schaffer. “The city has been working very hard with the RCMP and TransLink,” said Schaffer. He noted that there were police at the scene for Tuesday’s attack, leading to a quick arrest. Meanwhile, there have been augmented RCMP patrols in the downtown, and the City has hired a security guard who patrols on foot and a bylaw officer who works Saturdays and weekends, putting more eyes in the area. The issue of video surveillance has been raised again with TransLink. “That’s what they’re looking at right now,” said Schaffer. The City already has cameras at locations where people gather outdoors, like Douglas Park, McBurney Lane, and around the City Hall and Library.
Community is what a party in Langley City is all about on Saturday, June 21, the first day of summer. A 10 a.m. parade along Fraser Highway will be followed by a bevy of activities starting at 11 a.m. at Douglas Park. See details on page A13.

Chamber golf tees up fun and funds A total of 144 golfers took part in the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce golf tournament on June 12 at Pagoda Ridge.
Steve Watts (striped shirt) tried a putt while his group looked on during the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce’s annual networking golf tournament June 12 at Pagoda Ridge Golf Course.
Members of Langley’s business community took a break from their work week to swing clubs and run shoulders during the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce’s annual networking golf tournament late last week. The tournament was held Thursday, June 12, at Pagoda Ridge Golf Course in Aldergrove. The par 72, 165-acre course is Langley’s newest golf course, opening on Aug. 1, 2012. Funds raised helps the Chamber keep membership costs affordable for all businesses, said Chamber president Kristine Simpson. “The tournament wouldn’t have been the success it was without the generous support of our sponsors – thank you for continuing support to your com-

Recycling
MMBC taking over curbside recycling services
The Chamber of Commerce heard how the new recycling regime will work in B.C. by Matthew Claxton
How it works:
Recycling was in the spotlight, especially how to pay for it, at the Tuesday night meeting of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. Allen Langdon, managing director of Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC), the new group overseeing much of the province’s curbside recycling program, spoke to chamber members. The province has mandated that producers of paper and packaging have to take financial responsibility for the recycling of

their products, as “extended producer responsibility,” he said. MMBC was created by a group of companies to manage recycling from curbside and sorting centres, and to collect fees from the producing companies, which includes any larger firm that produces packaging, flyers, newspapers, bottles, or other goods. Langdon said B.C. is playing catch-up with jurisdictions overseas: “We’re far behind where they are in Europe.” The change will transfer much recycling from municipal jurisdiction to that of MMBC. Langley City is currently being paid an incentive to fund local recycling collection, and MMBC affiliated firms will take over direct collection Jan. 1, said Langdon. The Township has an existing contract and isn’t work-

ing with MMBC yet. “They’ve indicated interest in 2016,” said Langdon. He added that recycling is expanding, with items such as spiral-wound cardboard cans added, and polystyrene food trays potentially coming soon. Langley Advance publisher Ryan McAdams questioned the rationale behind the 20 cents per kilogram newspapers are paying for recycling newsprint. Ontario has a similar system, but papers there pay less than half that rate, McAdams said. Langdon said there are a number of differences. He said 50 per cent of the Ontario system is provincially funded, and that multi-family units in Ontario don’t take part in the system. Angie Quaale, a past chamber president, also asked questions
about the cost to community newspapers which she feared will be passed on to advertisers. “This is really a burden for them,” Quaale said. “I don’t have a dispute with the community newspapers,” said Langdon. He said other members of the MMBC group agreed that papers have to pay their fair share. “They could have come forward with their own plan,” Langdon said. “Nothing stopped them.” Quaale also asked about the exemption from MMBC costs for small retailers like herself. But she worried about costs coming down the supply chain from other packaging producers. Langdon said supply chain costs should not come down to the end sellers.

Relay for Life
Volleys against cancer A group of tennis enthusiasts are raising funds this weekend. by Matthew Claxton
mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
The Canadian Cancer Society’s Langley Relay for Life will be held Friday night and into the early hours of Saturday morning. That’s just the start of Marg Wildeman’s weekend. On Saturday she’ll be off to Delta to compete to qualify for a spot in the 75-80 year category for tennis in the BC Senior Games, to be held this September in Langley. Then on Sunday, June 22, she’ll be back on the courts again, this time playing in a friendly tournament she and her friends have organized for the past several years to raise money for the Relay. Although it will come a day after Relay wraps up, the money will still go towards this year’s fundraising, giving the society a bit of a boost. Along with Jennifer Cronkhite and Lionel Anker, they’ll play a series of friendly matches at the tennis courts at the Langley Events Centre. This is the third annual fundraising tennis tournament, and while they’ll be drawing in a lot of players, the event is non-competitive. The idea, say the three players, is just to make a donation and then enjoy the game. The event has been a useful one as far as putting a bit more money in the coffers of the Cancer Society goes. “We raised $1,500 last year,” said Wildeman. Players are expected to come from far and wide. Cronkhite is a
veteran player who still has a 1970s era Langley Tennis Club directory, and between their various contacts and friends, the group has drawn more than 64 players for the past couple years. Tennis enthusiasts come from as far afield as North Vancouver and Chilliwack. “This event fits with the three pillars of Relay,” said Wildeman.
Cancer survivor and tennis enthusiast Jennifer Cronkhite returns a serve from fellow survivor Lionel Anker. They are helping organize a tennis event to raise money for the Langley Relay for Life.
The pillars are celebrate, fight back, and remember. The event allows them to celebrate their own health, remember the loved ones they’ve lost, and the donations go towards the fight. Entry is by donation, and the event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 7888 200th Street. Phone 604-888-4788 to confirm you are planning to participate.

Pipeline crosses unsteady ground
Unless the folks at Enbridge change their tactics, they might as well start looking for somewhere else to stick their pipe. First and foremost, they need to convince B.C.’s First Nations and their supporters from a full cross-section of B.C. residents that the Gateway Pipeline can be built and operated safely and with significant benefits for the people whose lands they must cross. So far, they’ve done a lousy job of that. They need to offer realistic assurances that B.C.’s environment won’t be trampled – and clear indications that they will be ready to quickly and efficiently stem and clean up the spills that will inevitably occur. Instead, they only added $500-million to their clean-up readiness budget – in response to public outrage over the nowinfamous three-million-litre Kalamazoo River spill in Michigan. Even the corporate structure set up to create the pipeline seems suspect: organized so that, in the event of a truly massive (and expensive) spill, the pipeline company could declare bankruptcy, allowing Enbridge itself to walk away and cut its losses. And no one has seriously done anything to allay fears arising from tanker traffic traversing some of the most dangerous coastal waters in the world. Enbridge’s selling strategy so far has seemed a total reliance on its confederates in the federal government to push the project through, regardless of risks or widespread popular opposition throughout B.C. Only facets of the business community have suggested that the rationale for the pipeline – the economic efficacy of expanding Canada’s raw oil markets beyond the United States – outweigh the risks. This week’s fully anticipated announcement by the Harper government was surprising only in that it wasn’t as ringing an endorsement of the project as Enbridge must have been hoping it would be. The equally anticipated response from the opposition has been swift and sure: they will fight it with every resource available. – B.G.

Education labour dispute
Public misled about negotiations
Dear Editor, I am a B.C. taxpayer. I trusted that our elected officials were working for the good of all British Columbians. I can only infer that they are not operating in good faith regarding their treat-
ment of public education in this province, particularly after this past weekend’s showing. I am deeply insulted at the way they have been misleading the public about their flimsy attempts to “bargain” with B.C. teach-
Education labour dispute
Teachers wrongly labelled
Dear Editor, Does Mr. Weitzel [Public owns system, June 17 Letters, Langley Advance] not realize that teachers are taxpayers and parents as well? What is he basing his judgment on when he calls teachers “self-righteous?” Does he realize that most teachers take work home with them and spend time during weekends and summer vacation, lesson planning and prepping for the next school year? I often drop my own children off at their extra curricular activities and then sit in the car doing my marking and prep work. Self-righteous? I think that before anyone criticizes teachers they should spend some time in a classroom and see what it is like. Self-righteous, indeed! Tina Geyer, Langley
ers. Clearly, they have no intention of negotiating or of respecting a collective agreement. Rather, it is obvious that they would like nothing better than to dissolve the BCTF, sell out B.C. public education to the lowest bidder, and allow opportunity only to those who can afford private school education. How many BC Supreme Court rulings would it take to convince them that government, too, must follow the law? How many of my tax dollars are they spending on the appeal of the two rulings against them? I demand that this government negotiate in good faith and get serious about bargaining a collective agreement that addresses teachers’ working conditions and students’ learning conditions – for all British Columbians.

Environment
Better odds than Brookswood development
Dear Editor, I wasn’t trying to deprive the warmists of their heavily invested doomsday fear theories [Only thing rising is fear, May 27 Letters, Langley Advance], rather it was for the benefit of critical thinkers to de-stress from the chicken-little alarmists with their melting ice, islands sinking, etc. In political history it’s well known that one of the most effective ways of controlling populations is to keep them in a constant state of fear. B. Froebel [Denier ignores clear evidence, June 5 Letters, Advance] seems confused of the simplified explanation I gave on probabilities. The point was that, regarding flooding, if you project probabilities to hundreds of weather regions, thousands of streams and rivers, north and south hemispheres around the world, the odds are there will be one-in-100 weather events in several places all day every day. I have nothing against developers, but Froebel obviously does, as the put-down

grasps at straws with assertion of my being an investor/promoter in Brookswood/ Fernridge. Many who attended the public hearing heard my five-minute talk against the community plan. If I had $50 grand to play with, better probable odds would be paramount. Brookswood/Fernridge will evolve, regardless of any input this little old senior on a fixed income may have. It’s important to continue the debate, as science is never over. It wouldn’t bother me if it got a degree warmer. Why do the warmists flock to the tropics for their holidays, rather than colder climes? If they prefer the warmer climate why do they protest against it here?

Spirt of the Coast
Pipeline verdict solidifies purpose Loss of the canoe and support craft could have brought the journey to ‘tragically abrupt’ end. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com
The federal government’s endorsement Tuesday of the Enbridge pipeline through B.C. comes as no surprise to a team of canoeists paddling between Fort Langley and Alaska. The team that makes up the Spirit of the Coast Canoe Journey, led by Pitt Meadows skipper Chris Cooper, is making the excursion in large part to bring attention to the B.C. coastline, and to make people more aware of what is potentially at risk if the pipeline goes ahead. Kwantlen First Nations artist Brandon Gabriel from Fort Langley, who is among the
core group of canoeists making the entire 1,300-kilometre three-month journey, said he wasn’t shocked. “Well, we anticipated this. All the more reason for us to be where we are,” Gabriel said. “It just gives this journey more meaning, and I am already fielding phone calls from friends up north who are anticipating our arrival in the coming weeks.” The team entered its 19th day of travel Thursday, when they were expected to depart Rock Bay, heading north. The trip thus far has been eventful, in large part due to the weather – an in particular high winds. The latest hurdle was the loss of the journey’s primary vessel, the Chief of the River canoe, as well as a support sailboat and two kayaks last week. Contrary to superstition, Friday the 13th was a lucky day for the team, said Cooper’s wife Barbara.

A highlight of Langley Community Day is the parade, which was held under mostly sunny skies in 2013.
Family event
Community celebrates
A parade along Fraser Highway, Highland Games, a bed race, and a firefighter challenge are just some of the expected highlights of this Saturday’s Community Day event. A day-long party is planned Saturday, and everyone’s invited. Many months of planning by City of Langley staff and volunteers culminates with the 20th annual Langley Community Day Parade and Celebration on June 21, which also happens to be the first day of summer. And just in time for summer – and the celebration– sunshine is in the forecast. Weather is a factor, said Kim Hilton, who is on the event’s nine-member planning committee. “All the booths show up rain or shine, and fun is had by all regardless of the weather,” Hilton said. “However, people don’t stay in the park as long [if the weather doesn’t cooperate].” Hilton noted that the purpose of Community Day is “to educate the public about the services available to them in the community.” Community Day kicks off at 10 a.m. with the parade. Roughly 50 entries will travel east along Fraser Highway from 201A St. to 207 St. After the parade, head over to Douglas Park for an action-packed day that includes: 11 to 11:30 a.m. – drummers on Spirit Square stage 11:30 a.m. to noon – the Gabby’s Girls dance team, Spirit Square noon – welcome/National Aboriginal Day welcome/ awards 12:15 to 12:45 p.m. – the Langley Ukulele Ensemble, Spirit Square 12:45 to 1 p.m, – a demo from Woo Kim Langley Taekwondo, on the lawn in front of Spirit Square 1 to 1:45 p.m. – children’s races in the Kids Zone 1 to 1:20 p.m. – break dancers in Spirit Square 1:20 to 1:30 p.m. – cheerleaders on the lawn in front of Spirit Square

t’s been an incredibly emotional month for a Duncan teacher who discovered a family heirloom in Langley only days after losing her mother. Colleen Jones has, however unexpectedly, acquired a painting from her grandfather Ebert Howe – her mother’s father. She learned of the existence of this painting only a few weeks back, when Langley Arts Council – in conjunction with the BC Professional Firefighters’ Burn Fund – kicked off a somewhat unique fundraising campaign built around the sale of some 1,500 painting accumulated by the late Burnaby firefighter and art collector John Carr. Carr’s collection was turned over to the burn fund and local arts council last year. After months of discussion, debate, and deliberation, it was decided they should share Carr’s eclectic and varied collection of art with the masses, and at the same time raise money for a new burn unit in Vancouver, as well as some funds to foster the arts in B.C. The Fire & Art campaign, which launched May 28 in Langley, is the online sale – on a first-come, first serve basis – of all those paintings. Most are priced at $100, while a few cost $200 each. Arts council executive director Harmony Thiessen said she has received literally hundreds of orders

Langley Arts Council executive director Harmony Thiessen was moved to tears when she heard from Colleen Jones and learned of the story behind her buying this painting from the John Carr collection. already – at last count it was over 300 and growing daily. But one of the orders she learned about, that touched her heart, was from Jones. Thiessen admitted she nearly wept, her eyes filled with tears even now when recounting Jones’s story. Out of the blue, Jones received a text from her brother-in-law in Maple Ridge, telling her of an Ebert Howe painting for sale online. Considering he was never known to sell any of his art – whether it was etchings, sketches, or watercolour, oil, or pastel paintings – she was astonished to hear a piece was up for sale. Jones rushed home, booted up the computer, surfed the net, and found what she’s been alerted to. She pushed the purchase button with no thought whatsoever, she explained to the Langley Advance. “He was a very talented artist… I didn’t think twice before I bought it,” Jones added. “I went online and was over the moon to find it,” she said, noting that the winter landscape was of a Vancouver home he designed and lived in for a time when Jones was just a youngster. “I spent many days of my childhood there,” she said, noting she was never aware he’d painted the tiny picture labeled Sixty Fifth Alma Road. “I can remember having tea parties with my auntie there… I can remember being in the bright, cheery breakfast room… but I can never remember him painting that
piece,” Jones said. She can’t wait to take possession of the painting and said it will be cherished. “I’m really excited to be getting this,” she said, feeling it’s a way to honour a man she called “amazing, admirable, and talented.” He was originally trained as a draftsman, then when returning from the First World War, he bought and operated a wheat farm in Alberta. During that time, he trained to be an optometrist, and would travel the country side visiting patients, until he was visiting relatives in Vancouver and one day met Mr. Woodward himself. Following a brief discussion, the department store mogul agreed to lease him some space for an optometrist office inside the Woodward’s store. Before long, Howe was a fixture in the Vancouver store. For him, art was always just a hobby. The emotional significance of buying this painting is paramount for Jones, but she said it was a bonus to learn 100 per cent of the money earned is going to such worthy causes. The burn fund is building a $13.1million Burn Fund Centre, complete with accommodation for outpatient burn survivors, and a large percentage of the money will be going to aid in reaching that goal. A special website has been created just for the charity sale of the John Carr collection at www.johncarrcollection.org

The Wendy Neilson’s dog Bedford Landing resident came into Suzi enjoys watching contact with the her paint – see group via neighsome of Neilson’s bour Susan Galick, creations at the who urged her to Flagstop Gallery. join. “We both live on Billy Brown Road,” Neilson said. “They [FLAG] really are a sensational group of women.” Although she had painted before, in the early ’80s, it was a break to her arm that caused a shift. “I was back into painting after 20 years [away from it],” Neilson noted. “Now at age 75 I finally know what I want to be when I grow up.” Working in acrylics, Neilson explores abstracts as well as a relatively new art form: Zentangle. “I’m doing mostly acrylic with a lot of texture and a bit of collage,” she said. “I work on a fairly large – large to medium – scale with a bit of abstract… my main love, like most artists, is colour.” Speaking to the Langley Advance from Toronto, Neilson is getting ready for a training trip: “I’m on my way to Rhode island to take a Zentangle teaching course.” Zentangle is creating images through drawing a number of structured patterns – between the idea of a doodleart and mosaic. One of Neilson’s inspirations is her seven-year-old Lucas terrier, Suzi. “She is always with us and loves to watch me paint,” Neilson noted. “She is a great conversationalist.” Neilson’s work will be on display at the Flagstop Gallery until July 27, in the Artists’ Choice exhibition. The gallery is open weekends and holidays, noon to 4 p.m., and is featuring a “paint-in” on July 1, noon to 4 p.m. The gallery is in the Fort Langley Heritage CN Station at the corner of Mavis and Glover Roads in Fort Langley. The show will feature a variety of new, original subject matter from FLAG artists, including works in oils, acrylics, watercolour, clay, and more. This is the second of three exhibits
taking place at the gallery over the course of the summer, and is the 21st year of FLAG. In addition to welcoming Neilson to the group this year, two other new members came on board: Pat
Weibelzahl and Angela Weichel. FLAG demonstrates dedication to the development of their members’ art as well of the promotion of art in their community. Members come from all corners of the Langleys.

Earlier this spring, Freig, who owns and operates Versa Home Renovations in Langley, stepped forward to do free renos in Appleton’s Pitt Meadows home.
The work would have cost Appleton roughly $20,000, a big hit for a single mom of four children. “I’ve coined him my knight in shining armour,” Appleton said of Freig. “Cliches aside, he’s my construction angel. It’s been very overwhelming.” “I felt that we could help out,” Freig said. “We been blessed with so much work that it’s time to give back and help a family in need. I wanted to help out and tackle this project at no charge to Trudi.” Versa is adding a bathroom and laundry area to an empty basement space. “We gutted the old framing and started from scratch,” Freig explained.

from the bankrupt estate for the claims of unsecured creditors,” the post said. Among those affected by the bankruptcy was Appleton. With three sons ages 11, 13, and 16, and a 15-year-old daughter, she has her hands full, especially with only one full bathroom in the home. “It was getting more and more painful as the kids were getting older,” Appleton said. “Mornings were definitely a challenge for everyone to keep a smile on their face.” Appleton figured she had two options: sell the house that the family has lived in for 14 years, and then move to one that would accommodate a parent and four children, or add a basement bathroom to their existing home. continued on page A21…

Companies band together for goodwill renovation project …continued from page A17 “Finding a five bedroom home is a challenge,” Appleton said. “This, I’ve already created into a five bedroom home.” She decided to go with the latter option. “There was an unfinished laundry room in this house all along, and it [adding a second bathroom] was in the plan, that one day we would do this,” she said. “Then it became, ‘I’d have to do this, or we’d have to move’.” Ecowest was one of five contractors that bid for the project. “I did choose them, ultimately,” Appleton said. A deposit of $5,000 was required to start the work. The balance was to come from a bank loan, that has since been forgiven. “I’m off the hook for the loan, but I did lose the $5,000,” Appleton said. “I did that in a draft. That has no recourse – I won’t see that again.”
T
he timeline on the work “was getting pushed, constantly,” Appleton explained. The project manager made measurements, and a plan was supposed to be put in place. It was a plan that Appleton never saw. “The project was on hold; every now and then, the owner of the company would text me: ‘We can’t start it now, start it in three weeks,’ that kind of thing,” she recounted. A promise to start the work in the new year drifted into February, and then March, and in

high and dry. That’s when Felipe insisted I give him a call.” She was skeptical at first, but a week later, Freig called John to say that he hadn’t heard from Trudi, and insisted she call him. Appleton connected with Freig, telling him that she has limited ability to pay. His response: “Don’t worry about it. I want to make this right.” Appleton decided to go public with the story to give Freig the credit she feel he deserves. “It’s a good story, because every time he phones me, he’s got another trade that has offered to put in time without charge,” Appleton said. he work will be completed, and the bathroom will be put in place, roughly in the next couple weeks. “I have cried tears initially because I just couldn’t believe I had been taken [by the previous contractor],” Appleton said. “I thought I was smart enough. But then it turned to tears of overwhelming joy. Every time Felipe would phone me and say that someone else had heard of your story and just wanted to make it right, and has offered this and that. I feel almost uncomfortable receiving all of it, but I had a lot of people say, don’t be silly.” Freig said he never expected his trades and suppliers to get involved. “I was ready to take the hit, but as I called them to the project and told them about it, they wanted to get involved, I truly

the beginning of March Appleton received notice Ecowest had declared bankruptcy. That’s when Freig came into the picture. Freig had done some work for a mutual friend of Appleton and her ex-husband, John. Freig had also remodelled a basement for John a couple of years ago. John asked Freig if he could take on a project for Trudi. “But we were too busy and couldn’t take on the project,” Freig shared. “I always kept in touch with John, as I do with all my clients. He recently called me and explained to me that Ecowest Renovations had made a deal to
renovate Trudi’s basement and offered her financing…” fter Ecowest’s bankruptcy, John called Freig to find out if he knew of any laws or procedures to recover the lost funds. “I never met Trudi before, but when John explained that this happened, I felt a little responsible for not taking the job in the first place,” Freig related. “I felt that if I wouldn’t have said no, this wouldn’t have happened to Trudi.” “John was phoning Felipe to find out where I stood,” Appleton added. “That’s when Felipe said, unfortunately, she’s basically

Freig said he felt he needed to do this project on behalf of the renovation community. “One bad contractor makes every contractor job harder. Clients won’t trust contractors, because of all the bad media out there with TV shows about bad renovations,” Freig said. “People need to know that there is good contractors out there trying to do a great job and make clients happy about their investment.” Freig said he definitely chose the right person to help. “She is a hard working lady, raising four kids, and volunteers at the Rotary Club to help others,” he said. “Every time we talk on the phone she tells me how thankful she is that we could help, and it only makes me want to help her more.”

Greek for summer
O
utdoor cooking is one of the best ways to embrace and celebrate the warmer temperatures now coming upon us. Greek cuisine is one of my all-time favourites, and this personal recipe of mine for Greek Burgers is sure to be a hit at your next backyard cookout. Feel free to replace the lamb with beef, if you’re not a lamb lover – but I personally love the flavour of lamb in this recipe. Fresh herbs are a must. This is not a recipe for utilizing your spice rack. Happy cooking!

Greek Lamb Burgers Originally prepared for Lepp Farm Market – www.leppfarmmarket.com Recipe created by Chef Dez – www.chefdez.com
Ingredients 500g lean ground lamb (or lean ground beef) 1 large egg 7 garlic cloves, crushed to a paste 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh oregano 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground pepper 100g feta cheese, crumbled fine
Greek Tzatziki
Mix all ingredients in a bowl and divide equally into four portions. Shape each portion into a burger patty. On a preheated BBQ, grill the burgers over medium heat until cooked through, or alternatively, in a preheated pan over medium heat. Approximately 4 to 5 minutes per side, but an instant-read thermometer is the way to go: 71ºC (or 160ºF). Serve with Tzatziki and lettuce – and optional tomato – on your favourite burger buns. Makes 4 burgers
Recipe created by Chef Dez – www.chefdez.com
Do not peel the cucumbers, as the skin adds a lot of colour.
1/2 long English cucumber, grated 250g plain yogurt 2 garlic cloves, crushed to a paste 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh dill 1/2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil Salt and pepper to season
Put grated cucumbers in a clean towel or cheesecloth and squeeze to remove moisture. Place drained cucumbers in a bowl, and add all the other ingredients; stir to combine.

This award winning bestseller is a compilation of advice from college students across the country who have been there and done that -- or didn’t do it, but are more than willing to share their hard-earned tips and strategies for success. “I got great grades and never missed a party, and here’s how to do it...“ has far more impact coming from a fellow student than a boring lecture on time management from an instructor or adviser. Cora Weger, Director of Student Support Services at Illinois Eastern Community College agrees, “Kids love it! We give the book to all our freshmen.” This ‘straight from the horse’s mouth’ advice covers issues both in and out of the classroom.

Advanced Placement
Music
At D.W. Poppy, we offer Advanced Placement university prep programs including Psychology, Calculus, English Literature and Composition, European History, Physics and English Language and Composition. Students choosing to write the Advanced Placement Exam offered near the end of an AP course can potentially achieve credits for a first year university course. Also, writing this exam qualifies students to gain four extra credits toward graduation, thus making an AP course worth eight credits instead of just four credits.
The music department at D.W. Poppy has many different programs including concert band, jazz band, jazz choir, concert choir, string orchestra, and even pit band for the school’s musical theatre shows. Freedom, creativity, and variety are important, and allow students to create spectacular music under the instruction of D.W. Poppy’s incredible music teachers. This year the music department has put on a number of concerts and events including the hugely successful February Blues and a trip to Disneyland.
Fine Arts
Athletics
Great things are happening in the D.W. Poppy Art Program this year. The Art students are madly creating their masterpieces for the year-end Art Show. This years graduating Art students are half way to completing their gift to the school. They are painting a giant 22 foot mural (pictured below) to go above the Grad bench in the upstairs hallway.
Math/Science
Mathematics and Science enthusiasts abound at D.W. Poppy. This year, 90 students participated in the International Waterloo Math Contests (Gauss, Pascal, Cayley, Fermat, and Euclid); Certificates of Distinction were awarded to 14 students, with one Outstanding recognition from a grade 8 student in the Gauss contest (top contest result in her grade). Medals, certificates, and cash prizes were claimed by 22 contestants. 11 senior students participated in the Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest; 16 students competed at the UFV Junior Math Challengers competition and the UFV Junior and Senior Math Competition. The Math and Science departments at D.W. Poppy are seeing a positive move toward excellence and look forward to working with more motivated and enthusiastic new students every year.
D.W. Poppy offers a comprehensive athletics program, competing at the district, Fraser Valley and provincial level through three seasons of play (fall, winter and spring). D.W. Poppy offers a variety of both individual and team sports including soccer, swimming, cross-country running, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, badminton, golf, hockey, rugby and track and field for both boys and girls I go to Poppy because... from grade 8-12. “I like the music program... Highlights from reI get a lot out of it.” cent years include (Nicole, Gr. 9) Fraser Valley “It’s a small school so Championships in people get to know each both Senior Boys other.” Soccer (AA) and (Evi, Gr. 8) Senior Boys Rug“Teachers take the time to by (AA), as well as make sure we learn... not individual Fraser Valjust memorize.” ley titles in swimming (Claire, Gr. 12) and track and field. In 2013/2014 the “Redhawks” have qualified individual athletes to the provincial championships in swimming, wrestling and track and field, resulting in a 4th place finish for Prit Paul Johal (wrestling) and an anticipated podium finish for Ben Marshall (track) in the upcoming tournament. Led by Gino Paolella (named to the National rugby league team for the 2014 Commonwealth Games), the senior boys rugby team is currently ranked 5th in the province (AA), and continuing their drive towards a podium finish at the provincial Championships in late May.
Many leadership opportunities are available to students at D.W. Poppy! There’s Student government, which meets once a week at lunch to plan school events, fundraisers and activities. They can be found doing anything from running dances and collecting donations to directing pep rallies and planning spirit weeks! At D.W. Poppy there’s also Global Voices! They do numerous fundraisers, and focus on global matters in the world today. Whether it is local, or on a larger scale Global Voices is always hard at work! Last but not least there’s the ACT 1(Acceptance, Caring , Togetherness 1) group which focuses on creating a caring and accepting environment for students. The best part about the many leadership opportunities at D.W. Poppy is that every grade is welcome to participate in any of these groups! Whether it’s small or large, every contribution makes a difference!
Aboriginal Program
The 2013/2014 school year had a record number of participants in the Aboriginal Program here at D.W. Poppy as more and more families are realizing the benefits of the program and its requirements for registration. All year we have continued with our weekly drumming and study group sessions. In September, our Red Hawk Drummers and a group of students attended the Vancouver Truth and Reconciliation Conference to learn about residential schools. Students attended our Aboriginal Youth Leadership Conference and we have also held our three annual Family Gatherings (Christmas, Healthy Hearts and National Aboriginal Day). One of the biggest successes we had here at D.W. Poppy for the Aboriginal Program was the 24 Hour Drum Event.
International Students
Languages
The D.W. Poppy Language department continues to thrive with vibrant French and culturally charged German programs. The students engage linguistically as they learn and put into practice their newly acquired second language skills. The language department led an amazing group of forty-two participants to Europe in March, experiencing the culture, food, and locals in Paris, Nice, Pisa, Florence, Assisi, Rome, Pompeii and Capri. The students developed a true appreciation of the value of knowing additional languages. À la prochain! Auf Wiedersehen!
Student Leadership
Drama
The senior and junior acting classes have performed in one act play showcases with some of the shows being directed by the senior directors. Our first semester acting group was given the opportunity to compete at a regional level. Also, our hard working Musical Theater cast members performed two live original musical productions and were thrilled to partake in this year’s music trip to Disneyland.
The 2013-2014 school year has seen the largest number of international students that the ISP program has had in many years. The program has students from Asia, South America, and Europe. Academically the students have had a very successful year with many of the graduates moving on to universities and colleges throughout Canada. New to the program this year was the ISP mentorship group which saw the new international students supported by a team of mentors. The mentors were both senior domestic students and senior international students. Many of the international students also participated in the travel opportunities the District provides so that they can experience more of what British Columbia has to offer.
Technology
Renowned for its famous car show D.W. Poppy Secondary school in Langley offers traditional “hands on” technology classes for students while introducing some of the latest tech tools in the form of computer controlled machining in both wood and metal and, anticipated in the coming year, 3-D printing!
Computer Technology
The Computer Program now includes a wide variety of exciting courses for the 21st century. New programs include 3D Sculpting, Animation, App Design, Game Development, Robotics and more. Come create a customizable study plan suited to your needs and skill set for your technological future.

North Langley event overflows with entertainment It’s the third annual all-ages Walnut Grove Family Day Festival where the vibe is definitely carnival inspired. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com
Games, fun and things to do at every stop and turn are the focus at this year’s Walnut Grove Family Day Festival on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Walnut Grove Community Park just north of Walnut Grove Senior Secondary School. The event is put on by the Walnut Grove Business Association. Laurie Daschuk, coordinator of the organization, noted it is driven by the local business people who want to give back to the community that supports them. Now in its third year, the event includes even more fun and games for everyone. “We’re having the Remax balloon and bouncy castle again,” Daschuk said. “It’s our most popular attraction.” The Remax folk will be offering the opportunity to ride the balloon up into the sky while still being tethered to the ground. They will also bring their over-sized bouncy castle for the kids to try to bounce into the sky.

Some games are easier than others at Walnut Grove Family Day to ensure everyone enjoys themselves. Pony rides, a petting zoo, clowns and bingo will be on site and admission is an affordable $2 for adults, $1 for kids, or $5 for a family. “There’s a whole bunch of car clubs coming out for a show and

A chance for children to visit a fire hall, meet their local firefighters, and even sit in a fire truck will be offered this month when the Township of Langley Fire Department holds its Family Nights at the Fire Halls. During the free open houses, visitors are encouraged to bring their cameras, take a tour, and enjoy a hands-on look at what it is like inside the community’s fire halls. The fun, educational Family Nights will be held: Tuesday, June 24, 6:30 to 8:00pm at: • Hall 3 (Aldergrove): 26316 - 30 Avenue • Hall 5 (Brookswood): 20355 - 32 Avenue • Hall 6 (Murrayville): 22170 - 50 Avenue • Hall 7 (Otter): 3876 - 248 Street Wednesday, June 25, 6:30 to 8:00pm at: • Hall 2 (Fort Langley): 23137 - 96 Avenue • Hall 4 (Willoughby): 20253 - 72 Avenue • Hall 8 (Walnut Grove): 9580 - 208 Street Fire Department 604.532.7500
“There’s going to be face painting and a kids’ dress up and photo booth too,” commented Daschuk. Walnut Grove businesses have banded together to create a midway arcade where they each host one of 40 different booths. According to Daschuk, each will feature something to do whether it’s a game, a goodie bag, or something silly to win a prize. “There will be something fun at each booth,” Daschuk said. The main entertainment stage will run all day with performers like children’s entertainer Charlotte Diamond, and local acts such as Bird Dawg, Cambree Lovesy, Kristal Barret, Mike Steen, and performers from Langley Has Talent. Additional entertainment such as black belt demonstrations and cheerleading displays will be ongoing throughout the park. “The whole purpose of the event is that the admission donation goes to the Walnut Grove Family Fund,” Daschuk explained. “This is administered through the Langley School District Foundation.” Last year the event raised $7,000. “Principals and teachers in Langley contact us about funds for Walnut Grove families in special circumstances,” Daschuk said. “It’s those unusual requests for families who have no where else to turn.”

Reduce Belly Fat! Increase Energy! Testosterone estosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s man’ sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:
Increased Belly Fat Low Energy
Low Libido Mood Changes
Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...
Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy metabolism. Along with a program of proper nutrition and regular exercise, researchers have discovered a group of naturally proven nutrients that can help you safely reduce excess estrogen while maximizing testosterone levels.
Rate of Testosterone Secretion in Milligrams
Ultimate Male Energy™ contains 100% natural ingredients like: Chrysin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Indole-3-Carbinol and Broccoli Sprout Powder to help restore healthy, youthful hormone balance by positively affecting both estrogen and testosterone production, which ultimately helps a man look, feel and perform at his best.

Silver lining for Thunder bantams NL Dodgers champs
In an all-North Langley final, the Dodgers clipped the Blue Jays to win community bragging rights in the 11/12 Majors Division.

The Langley Thunder bantam girls lacrosse team rolled to a silver medal at the Dennis Hickey Tournament last weekend at the Langley Events Centre. The Thunder fell 8-3 to Port Coquitlam in a hotly contested gold medal game. Heading into the championship showdown, the Thunder had been a dominant force. “It was a great weekend for the girls as they went undefeated in the round-robin play, focusing heavily on teamwork in the offensive end and playing relentless defence,” Thunder assistant coach Carlanna Thompson said. The Thunder include Carrigan Rose, Sophia Kulak, Zoe Booth, Olivia Ohlmann, Haileigh Robertson, Rachel Mullin, Natalie Rathler, Marah Baker, Alexis Spargo, Rachel Peterson, Shawna Lai, Sage Gladiuk, Samantha Pilson, Tia Tuininga, Fiona Briner, and Christine Goode. The team is coached by Ralph Ohlmann, who is assisted by Carlanna Thompson. Now in its 39th year, the Dennis Hickey Tournament for bantam-

This also marked first year organizers included girls lacrosse. This year’s tourney drew seven bantam B boys teams: Langley, Coquitlam, Port Moody, Nicola

The North Langley Dodgers capped a great year in style, during a tournament involving Langley and North Langley 11/12 Majors baseball teams. In an all North Langley final, the Dodgers, who finished with a 12-2-2 overall record, clipped the Blue Jays 8-7. It was a rematch of the first game of the tournament, in which the Dodgers rallied from an 8-5 deficit to win 12-8, by scoring seven runs over the last two innings. In their second game, the Dodgers defeated the Langley City Braves 5-2. The Dodgers’ last game of the round robin portion of the tournament was against the Langley City Dodgers. Going into the fourth inning, the Dodgers trailed 9-6 behind their Langley City namesakes. But in the final two innings North Langley rallied to score four runs and win 10-9. The victory gave the Dodgers an automatic bye into the championship game. The final was without a doubt the best game of the tournament. The Dodgers jumped out to an early 4-1 lead but saw it slip away and going into the sixth inning, the game was tied 7-7. North Langley then put two runners on and with a single to right field by Calob Gallowan, earned the win. The Dodgers include Will Steensma, Jacob Deibert, Brenin Moore, Nathan Sych, Liam Jeffrey, Jamisen Walsh, Calob Gallawn, Jacob Deibert, Tyson Burgess, Tommy Millar, Leo Egger, and Payton Farnese. The Dodgers are coached by Stosh Warzasek, Mark Burgess, and Ryan Jeffery. Warzasek, Burgess, and Jeffery have been named as North Langley’s coaches for the association’s 11/12 all-star team that’s hosting the 2014 Little League BC Provincial Championship at Walnut Grove Park from July 18-27.

Pup Warriors show bite in VBHA championship A Langley-based team is heading to the B.C. ball hockey championships in Victoria, after a golden performance Saturday at the George Preston Recreation Centre.
With faces smeared with paint and hearts pounding, the Pup Warriors battled their way through an intense final game at Valley Ball Hockey Association’s annual wind up held at the George Preston Recreation Centre on Saturday, June 14. The Warriors were up against a Valley Stars team that was unbeaten in the playoff round and held an impressive 17 goals for and four goals against going into the championship game. Before coming into finals, the Warriors, who were unbeaten in regular season,
faced the Snipers in semifinals on Monday, June 9. The Snipers, who also had a perfect playoff record and pummelled the Warriors 8-3 in the playoff round two days earlier, fell 4-3 to the Warriors in their semifinal rematch, thus clearing the way to finals. “We learned our lesson last Saturday, and knew we had to come up with something new,” Warriors head coach Craig McDougall said. “The boys played with so much heart and incredible energy on Monday. They knew the competition they were up against and what was on the line.” Saturday’s final Pup game was a nailbiter for both the Warriors and the Valley Stars as the game went into overtime with the score deadlocked at 1-1. Several minutes later, the Warriors delivered their final blow, earning the title as

“The boys worked so hard to earn this opportunity. The games were getting tighter and tighter as every team got stronger as the season went along,” said Dwayne Ostheidt, the Warriors assistant coach. “I am so impressed with how quickly our team came together and how committed each player is to each other.” McDougall said that for many of the Warriors, this was their first year playing ball hockey, and this was his first year coaching a ball hockey team. “To have a great set of kids to work with is one thing. But making it to provincials is icing on the (cup)cake,” McDougall said. The Warriors are heading off to Victoria this Thursday, June 19 to face off against Pup teams from Tri City, Richmond, and Victoria in round robin play, in hopes to land a spot in semifinals and finals to be played on Sunday, June 22.
