Most crime categories have seen a decrease in numbers for Langley City, according to the latest RCMP report to council.

Langley RCMP Insp. Rob de Boersap, now overseeing the Langley detachment, brought the latest figures for City council’s July 7 meeting.

“Crime against persons are down 13 per cent,” he said.

The figures are from the period January to June and compare 2014 with 2013.

Within crimes against persons, there was a 40 per cent drop in sexual assaults, a 17 per cent drop in assaults and a 35 per cent decline in robberies.

Coupled with the nine per cent increase in fraud and no change in the drug crime stats, it averages out to a 13 per cent decline.

“We do have one large fraud file with government cheques being altered and passed at various institutions,” de Boersap said about the fraud increase.

The RCMP dealt with 223 crimes against persons files from January to June 2013 and 194 in the first six months of 2014.

In addition to crimes against persons, de Boersap presented a snapshot of crimes related to property which generates more files.

Langley City had 1,297 property crime files in the first half of 2013 and 1,062 in the first six months

Information on crimes specific to Langley City was presented at the July 7 City council meeting.

six per cent rise is petty break and enter from such things as fenced areas and garden sheds.

Residential B&Es were down 47 per cent while the drop for business B&Es was 31 per cent.

Arson is down by half and there was a modest drop in auto theft but a 14 per cent decline in theft from auto.

De Boersap’s update to City council included introducing two reserve constables. Reserve members are retired RCMP who have been brought back to fill positions.

The reserve members are out doing such work as crime prevention files, graffiti, homelessness, liaising with the business community and foot patrols.

Councillor Dave Hall wondered if this was necessary due to a lack of young people joining the force. Hall said in education, older retired teachers move to the

teacher on-call list and prevent young people from entering the field. He questioned whether the same thing is happening with the RCMP. De Boersap said young people aren’t being turned away from jobs. The RCMP training depot has ramped up its numbers to meet national demand for more police and should be caught up in a couple of years. Until then reserve members help fill the need.

He also told council that the dog unit, based in Port Kells, has been around the City’s problem spots such as the bus loop, Douglas Park, and Innes Corner doing training.

Acting Mayor Ted Schaffer said anyone who thinks they can stash drugs or cash as part of drug deals may be in for a surprise with this extra police presence.

A team of canoeists, including Fort Langley’s Brandon Gabriel, is on a three-month expedition to Alaska. The trek aims to bring awareness of life along the B.C. coastline, and awaken people to the need to preserve it.

Orphaned and rescued animals can be seen for one weekend only at a Langley shelter.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Spring and summer always bring a population boom to the animals at Critter Care, the shelter for orphaned and injured wild animals in South Langley.

“They’re multiplying,” said Maureen Binnie, president of the Critter Care Society.

On Tuesday the society released the last of 2013’s rescued bear cubs back into the wild, but already has three more this year. That goes along with beavers, a trio of river otters, 14 deer, and a huge number of raccoons – 85 at the most recent count.

Critter Care takes in pretty much any kind of mammal, from the miniscule flying squirrels to adolescent black bears.

“Pretty well 90 per cent of them are orphaned,” said Binnie.

Critter Care is a largely volunteer-staffed organization that for years has been taking in animals and getting them ready to head back out into the wild.

A fawn is one of the babies at Critter Care.

Pickles, a baby beaver, is one of the animals in care prior to being released back into the wild.

Although the organization runs year-round, there is only one chance for members of the public to see the animals there, and that is this weekend’s annual open house.

The July 12-13 event is one of the biggest annual fundraisers for the society.

The funds raised from this day will have to stretch for much of the year to help feed and shelter the wide variety of animals brought to the shelter’s doors.

With releases of most of the animals not taking place until September, the summer is one of

A3

the busiest seasons at the shelter.

Although there will be plenty to see and do at Critter Care, the facility is dedicated to the animals first, Binnie said. That means not every animal will be on display to the public.

“We never show the bears,” Binnie said.

Some animals can be shown because they are too young to be habituated to the presence of humans – something the shelter wants to avoid. Teaching bears

that humans are friendly won’t help them survive in the wild.

Likewise, they typically don’t show some other animals because they are too frightened of humans. The young fawns can too easily bond with people.

Binnie advises turning up early to get a spot on one of the guided tours around the facility.

Visitors can book a tour as soon as they arrive, but may have to wait a while.

There will be plenty of activities and entertainment while waiting.

Paws-2-Dance, the dog dancing group, will be on hand, along with stilt walking on Saturday, the Nylon Zoo on Sunday, and facepainting and Community Critters all weekend.

Hari Om Yoga will be there Sunday for an interactive demonstration – those who bring a yoga mat can take part.

There will be concession stands and ice cream, and a show of some fancy cars.

Critter Care asks for a $2 donation per adult, with kids free.

Critter Care is located at 481 216th Street, and the annual open house will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday.

Booze + pellet gun = police standoff

A police negotiator brought a peaceful end to a standoff following a pellet gun incident.

by Matthew Claxton

A day of shooting pigeons and drinking escalated into a standoff with police in rural Langley on Tuesday evening.

The incident began while three family members were shoot-

ing the birds with a pellet gun, while drinking, on a property in the 21900 block of 64th Avenue.

One man, a 40-year-old, and his 12-year-old son wandered away on the property and the young boy was injured after being shot in the hip with a pellet.

The boy’s mother became upset, and when she confronted her husband, he allegedly assaulted her, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.

The standoff with police began when the 40-year-old went

into the house and the family left the property and called the Mounties, just before 8 p.m.

Although the pellet gun had been left outside, the police were told there might be more guns inside the building.

Out of an abundance of caution, Langley RCMP contained the home and evacuated several nearby homes. The Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team was called in.

A negotiator with the ERT made contact with the man and established a rapport with him.

He left the home just after 10

p.m. and was taken into custody without further incident.

Langley RCMP’s Investigational Support Team is looking into the circumstances around the pellet gun being fired and the injury to the boy.

Client Support and Victim Services will be following up with other family members.

The man arrested Tuesday remained in RCMP cells until Wednesday morning.

B.C. Crown Counsel will determine what charges, if any, should be laid in the incident, said Marks.

Houses are selling at their fastest rate in four years in the Fraser Valley.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Sales of new homes in the Lower Mainland jumped in June, according to sales numbers released by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.

The board said sales in the area stretching from North Delta to Abbotsford were 26 per cent higher than in the same month in 2013.

The jump to 1,668 sales was two per cent higher than in May. “Over the last three months, we’ve seen a surge in demand specifically for single family homes and townhomes in most of our communities,” said Ray Werger, Fraser Valley Real Estate Board president.

Families with children are the main category of buyer, said Werger.

The benchmark price – a price that the FVREB defines as the price of an average home – rose 1.3 per cent year over year.

A typical detached home cost $568,600 in the region, an increase of 1.3 per cent compared to the previous year.

While the price of houses increased, the benchmark price of townhouses was essentially flat, dropping 0.3 per cent to $297,800, while the price of a condo dipped below $200,000 to $197,000, a decline of 2.7 per cent over June 2013.

In Langley, increases in sales were not as sharp as in other parts of the region.

Langley saw 152 detached houses sell in June, up 8.6 per cent from a year earlier. A total of 88 townhouses sold, a 14.3 per cent increase, and 34 condos, down 22.7 per cent from June 2013.

While benchmark prices for all three types of housing saw modest increases or remained roughly flat, the average and median prices were quite different.

The average price for a detached house in Langley was $614,802 in June, up 2.1 per cent from the same month a year earlier. Townhouses saw a 9.7 per cent rise to $347,955. Condos declined to $203,441, a two per cent dip.

“We’re essentially seeing two markets right now, so it’s important to get advice dependent on what you’re listing or buying. Competitively priced, mid-range single family homes are being snapped up quickly, on average in a little over a month, whereas condos and higher-end, executive homes in our region are taking as long as three months on average to sell.”

A speeding vehicle that bounced off a power pole blacked out Langley’s Murrayville neighbourhood Monday morning.

At about 11:15 a.m., a Honda Accord heading west at a high rate of speed slammed into both the median and a light pole before coming to rest to the east of 216th Street, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The 22-year-old driver of the Honda Accord apparently lost control of the vehicle, said Marks.

The driver was taken to hospital and is expected to survive.

Fortunately, an off-duty paramedic drove by immediately after the crash and stopped to provide first aid, Marks said.

Westbound lanes of Fraser Highway were closed for more than an hour after the crash to repair the power pole, tow away the remains of the vehicle, and clean up the oil spilled on the road.

The closure was expected to last for some time.

The exact cause of the crash had not yet been determined.

APD bust alleged bordello An alleged house of ill repute near the Langley-Abbotsford border has been shut down.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Abbotsford Police have arrested one woman and are continuing to investigate what they say is a brothel on Townline Road.

In December of last year, the APD started getting tips about a potential “bawdy house” near Townline and Gardner Avenue.

Over the next six months the APD Major Crime Unit gathered more tips

and information, and executed a search warrant on May 29, said Const. Ian MacDonald.

Police were concerned to determine if there was human trafficking going on, and whether any underage youths were involved.

The location was also close to both an elementary school and a high school, said MacDonald.

A 54-year-old Vancouver woman has been charged with keeping a common bawdy house.

Anyone with more information on the investigation is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225, to text the police at 222973 (ABBYPD), or to leave an anonymous tip with CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Be a tourist in your own town

It’s something that’s so obvious, that we tend to forget it sometimes, but we live in a pretty darned awesome place.

And now is a good time for a reminder, with the sun shining down and the mercury rising, to take time out to explore your own neighbourhood.

Let’s face it, playing tourist at home is a win, all around. It saves you money – no huge gas bills for those long road trips – and it saves the headaches of packing and getting stuck in traffic on long car rides.

Plus, it gives you a chance to support your local merchants. While you’re out exploring, take the time to fill a picnic basket with lunch from a local deli, or enjoy a local ice cream cone, or browse the local shops for a new hat or a pair of walking sandals.

If you’re not sure where to start, then let us help you. Here’s a quick list of things to enjoy in Langley this summer: • See what the farmers are doing. The Circle Farm Tour is a road map to a variety of specialty farm-gate vendors and more. Brochures are available at Langley Township’s Civic Facility and at participating farms.

• Stroll the Nicomekl River. Langley’s Rotary Clubs have provided a pleasant nature trail through the Nicomekl flood plain, with footbridge crossings of the river.

• Grab a paddle and make a splash. Head to Fort Langley, and watch the canoes and kayaks come and go.

You know what? There’s way too much to list here. We have a much longer list online (and we’ll freely admit that we aren’t even covering it all there, but it’s a decent start) at www.langleyadvance.com. Search “Langley things to do.”

And you’ll find lots of ideas at Tourism Langley (www.tourism-langley.ca), too.

While you’re out exploring, stay in touch. Share your adventures and photos of Langley fun with us via Facebook. Connect with us at www.Facebook.com/LangleyAdvance.

We’d love to see your proof of what we all know: that Langley is awesome.

Line crossed in teachers’ strike Why Are Teachers Still Striking?

Dear Editor, The Langley Teachers’ Association has chosen to picket the school board office during the summer break.

As well as management staff, there are approximately 30 CUPE support staff who hold 12-month positions and who work out of the board office.

It is my understanding that the BCTF has given the individual school districts the option of picketing during the summer. The Langley Teachers’ Association, and indeed, the executive of the Langley CUPE unions have urged us to honour the picket line.

No teachers are scheduled to work during the summer – they have all been paid for the last school year, and lose nothing by picketing.

We, the CUPE staff of School District 35, have supported the teachers in past job

actions, and did so again during the month of June. I imagine many of us will support them in September, if need be.

Why do they expect us to give up two months wages during the summer no teachers are working?

Letters when I, for one, cannot afford to to the lose any more money. I have a mortgage to pay. Many of my colleagues have young families to support.

Editor Shame on the Langley Teachers’ Association for disregarding the sacrifice they are forcing on their union partners, and shame on the CUPE executives for not standing up for the welfare of their members.

I will be doing something I’ve never done during the 25 years I have worked for the school district. I will be crossing the line.

Dear Editor, I am a member of CUPE Local 1260 and an administrative assistant at R.E. Mountain Secondary, and have had the distinct pleas-

ure of working for the past 25 years with some awesome teachers.

On Friday, I was beginning the task of creating new files in preparation for

Education labour dispute

Strike government’s blame

Dear Editor, I have been reading all of the rhetoric about the teacher’s strike with great interest. Now it’s my turn.

Let’s first of all place the blame for the entire mess exactly where it deserves to be: directly at the feet of the provincial government.

The BC Liberals, since the dawning of the Gordon Campbell era, have been a right-wing, confrontational party that has no interest whatsoever in negotiating fairly with any of its employees.

Look at what happened a number of years ago with the Health Employees Union – some of the lowest paid people around. They legislated them back for three years with a 15 per cent pay cut. Nurses, doctors, ferry workers… the list goes on and on.

All the Liberals care about is keeping their wealthy friends wealthier. I support the teachers completely. Hang in. Do not cave in to a very bad, right-wing government that, hopefully, will finally be a thing of the past in another three long years.

Jack McEwen, Langley

the new school year, when I came across a lovely little book, titled, “What Do You Make?”

It was a book for and about teachers, by Tom Hierck, with illustrations by Anne DeGrace, an adaptation of an original poem by Taylor Mali.

I took a few minutes to read the book, reflecting on this gift that was presented to staff a few years ago by our school administrators at the beginning of the school year.

Teachers do make a difference, and deserve to be treated fairly by the government, as do all school employees. We are all suffering during this turmoil.

It is high time for the minister of education and the premier to put their hearts together for a fair resolve to these current negotiations, because it is the right thing to do.

‘Lawful’ isn’t ‘right’

Dear Editor, The Township won its case [Township wins Coulter case, July 8, Langley Advance] because it was a “lawful” decision.

Making a “lawful” decision does not necessarily make it a “right” decision.

Vandalized horse leads to positive message

Fundraising for a children’s book about bullying and violence has grown out of the twice-damaged painted horse in Brookswood.

As in the case of Tattoo, McCarthy noted, the vandalism has hurt the entire community.

Following the most recent vandalism, Tattoo will be undergoing a second round of repairs.

Religious painter

Gina Kling figures she was either born 500 years too late or 20 years too early.

Kling, a Langley artist with a show on at the Fort Gallery until the end of July, paints lesser known stories of Christ, a subject due for a revival.

“The beauty of being Canadian is the freedom to have a creative voice even if it is provocative or controversial,” Kling said.

Her show, Life for Life, His Story, has its opening gala July 12 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.

“The story of Christ is the most important event of our lives, so my images have to be right,” she said.

The Township of Langley currently utilizes three full-time and one seasonal roadside grass mowers for ditch mowing. This equipment has predetermined routes, or an assigned area to follow. Should the equipment be pulled away to do a specific request it only lengthens the time it takes to fully complete all the rural boulevards and ditches.

If you have a request for mowing or brushwacking, we ask that you be patient as we try to fit the work schedule in as efficiently as possible.

The Township, along with Provincial and Federal agencies, have classified the open channel water systems into three categories: Class A ditches are fish bearing; Class B ditches are fish habitat. Both of these categories require formal approval before any work can be completed.

Class C ditches are deemed to have no fish or fish habitat issues whatsoever and require notification only for work to take place.

Therefore, how or when a ditch is cleaned will depend on its classification. We thank you for your understanding as we operate under these requirements.

The sole annual opportunity to tour Erikson Daylily Gardens is at this weekend’s open house.

ost event organizers wither when the weather forecast calls for rain.

But any kind of weather works for Erikson’s Daylily Gardens annual open house. The 13th annual is this weekend.

“We have a dedicated following,” said garden owner Pam Erikson. “We have a bus tour that even comes down from Kelowna.”

One year the heat and sun didn’t come soon enough and there were no famous Erikson daylily blooms.

“People still had a blast,” Erikson said.

She noted that the area typically gets frost until the end of May but this year the gardens have had

perfect weather and are at peak bloom.

Gardeners are the ultimate optimists.

“This year we had a massive tree come down in February,” Erikson explained.

That meant a lot of clean up work but ended up in the creation of a new bed.

“A garden is always changing,” she said.

The open house started with the spotlight on daylilies but people’s interest has grown in all the plants Erikson grows. The gardens will be at peak bloom with over 3,200 daylilies, lilies, hostas, unusual perennials, and specimen trees.

Erikson wears several different (gardening) hats: president of the Langley Garden Club, the Aldergrove Daylily Society and the WashingtonOregon Daylily Society, as well as vice-president of the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation

and the Canadian Daylily Society.

Still, her first love is still being out in the garden, a love instilled by her grandmother who is about to turn 104.

“Hybridizing is what keeps me interested,” she said. “It’s like when par-

ents have children. You never know what they’re going to be like.”

People can meet the thousands of members of Erikson’s clan at the open house. Once each year the gardens are open to the public and this year’s opportunity is 10 a.m. to

Erikson noted that people will want to take 248th Street to 50th Avenue to get onto 246th Street. The gardens are tucked away at 24642 51st Ave. The East Langley water line is being constructed in the area and she recommends people avoid 52nd Avenue.

Summer camp for uke newbies offered at Stafford Some of the best ukulele musicians in Canada are teaching at a Langley kids’ camp in August.

by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com

Something of an unsung instrument in Canada, the ukulele has a strong home in Langley with the Langley Ukulele Association (LUA).

The popularity of the “tiny guitar” grows each year with kids’ ukulele camps for those aged seven to 11 put on by LUA. Running from Aug. 18 to 22, the week long camp is held at H.D. Stafford Middle School taught by experienced uke musicians from LUA. Organizer

Y Y L E ONL G N N L A T IO A OC

Elizabeth Zielke, LUA’s Intermediate A director, noted the camp is an ideal way to gain experience with the instrument.

“This is definitely the way to start,” she said.

Uke camp runs from 9 a.m. to noon each day with a concert closing out the week.

“On the Friday night, on the 22nd, there’s a performance for friends and family,” Zielke said.

The $75 registration cost includes a T-shirt, daily snack, and music book. Kids can bring their own ukulele or purchase one at the camp.

“It’s really an affordable instrument to pick up,” noted Zielke. “A lot of kids come with their own $25 or $30 uke.”

Zielke explained kids are greeted by eight energetic teachers, led by Paul Luongo − head of LUA − as they arrive and

are put into groups by age and experience.

“It’s excitement from then on,” Zielke said.

Within three minutes of arriving, kids will be playing and singing, noted Zielke.

“They learn the most basic parts of the instrument and the first couple of chords, and away

we go into classrooms,” she said. “It’s always fun because not everyone knows there’s singing.”

According to Zielke, Langley is known for cultivating the best ukulele players in Canada. Her best friend is one of the best in the Langley Ukulele Ensemble and started with the instrument

at jke camp.

“Learning ukulele in this environment is like no other. It’s fun, entertaining, and you can’t help but notice the progress of kids during the week. Whether kids have experience or not, Uke camp is the place to be,” she added.

Zielke explained the camp is the best way for kids who don’t have ukulele in their school to experience the instrument.

“With the kids attending the camp we are looking to extend an invitation to the students to join the after school honour program that runs from September to May, home to the renowned Langley Ukulele Ensemble,” Zielke said.

To register a child for uke camp, contact Zielke at ukesinfo@langleyukes.com or call 778-840-UKES.

maginative gardeners don’t see tough terrain quite the way other people do. Where others see a swamp, they see future fish ponds, boardwalks, and bog gardens.

And almost-vertical sites, they visualize viewpoints, flower-filled alpine cliffs, and excellent drainage.

To a husband-and-wife gardening team in Chilliwack, the raw subdivision moonscape around them was a source of rough soil they could use to terrace the steep drop-off behind their newly constructed home.

Contractors who had been paying to truck soil miles away were glad to dump a few loads in a nearby lot.

The gardeners rigged a wooden chute from the soil piled in their front yard down into the rear. She shoveled soil into the chute, and far below, he distributed it around.

Today, the upper terrace is a green lawn bordered with compact shrubs where people can sit under a patio roof and view the distant mountains. The lower terrace is a miniwoodland, where a pea gravel floor meanders around rock-ringed beds.

Water in the nearby fish pool has high levels of oxygen after its swift journey downhill via a little stream.

ummer offers an abundance of fresh fruit, and cherries are one of my favourites.

Where cherries originated is difficult to pinpoint, but today they’re all over the world. Birds love cherries, so it is believed that they contributed to the spread of the trees.

We tend to see only one or two varieties of sweet cherries in our markets and roadside stands. But there are more than 500 varieties of sweet cherries and more than 250 varieties of sour cherries worldwide.
