Rising Fraser floods threaten Langley The Fraser River is expected to flood more frequently in the future, according to a report released this week. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

More frequent floods could threaten 300,000 people’s homes and $50 billion worth of property, according to a report on future threats to the Fraser River. The report by the region’s chambers of commerce identifies a host of issues that could hit B.C.’s most important river over the coming decades. The population of the floodplain area, which includes parts of northern Langley and its neighbours, are dependent on 600 kilometres of dikes, 400 flood boxes, and 100 pump stations, said the report. If a record-level flood reoccurred along the river, it could cause tens of billions of dollars worth of damages immediately. Damaged road and rail lines and energy conduits could impact exports and imports for even longer. “Scientists predict that there is a one-inthree chance that a flood of similar magnitude to the record floods along the Lower Fraser

Benefits Of Bamboo Flooring!

Bamboo is an eco-friendly, highly renewable source of material which grows much faster than traditional hardwoods. Moso Bamboo is the primary species used for the manufacturing of flooring and it can grow up to 4’ per day and 75’ in 45 days. It takes about 3-5 years for Bamboo to reach maturity. Traditional hardwoods take 20-120 years to mature. Bamboo can be harvested without replanting and in a sustainably harvested forest only 20% of the forest is harvested annually allowing for 100% harvest in a 5 year period. Bamboo naturally needs no irrigation, no fertilizers and no pesticides as it has very few pests. Trillium Bamboo Flooring is certified to meet the standards of the Forest Stewardship Council for environmental and social responsibility.

Gymnastic coach faces new charges

There are now nine victims linked to a suspected sexual predator who was a former coach with the Langley Gymnastics Federation, the local RCMP say. In March, John William Henry, a 32-year-old Abbotsford resident, was charged with sexual interference. Henry remains in custody, by his own consent, in the wake of the initial charge. A Langley RCMP investigation has now turned up eight additional victims, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the department. The total number or type of charges that may be laid now has not yet been determined, said Marks. Little information can be released about the victims to protect their privacy. Henry does not have a criminal record dating back to before his arrest.

Through a summer-long cycling tour Langley residents Desiree Wallace and Nicole Kilistoff, along with Landon Yerex from Courtenay, are supporting First Nations people’s environmental efforts in northwestern B.C.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

he surfers and snowboarders behind Beyond Boarding are connected to the land and sea. After all, they skim along the surfaces of both pretty much year round. Starting earlier this week and stretching well into the summer, Beyond Boarding co-founder and Langley resident Desiree Wallace along with Landon Yerex from Courtenay will combine their passion for outdoor sports and environmental activism by cycling from Fort Langley to Sacred Headwaters, a vital ecosystem between Iskut and Dease Lake. Their hope is to bring to light the ongoing efforts of First Nations people to keep the piece of land in northwestern B.C. pristine. he goal of Beyond Boarding’s Cycle to the Sacred Bike Tour is to generate financial and social support for what Wallace describes as “a group of land defenders,” the Klabona Keepers, in the Sacred Headwaters. Klabona Keepers is an organization of Tahltan elders and families who occupy and use traditional lands near Iskut, known as Tl’ab ne, the Sacred Headwaters of the Stikine, Nass, and Skeena Rivers. “They are three of the most prominent, wild salmon bearing rivers in all of B.C.,” Wallace said. Thousands of people from the northern Interior to the coast depend upon the health of these three watersheds for their livelihood and for the well-being of their families and communities, Wallace noted. “The Sacred Headwaters continues to be at risk,” she added. “Without Tahltan consent, the government has given an exploratory permit to Fortune Minerals, a mining company with a plan to turn Klappan Mountain into an open-pit anthracite coal mine, 4,000 hectares in size.” According to Wallace, the project plan includes building 147

Landon Yerex, 24, and Desiree Wallace, 21, will be cycling from Fort Langley to Iskut, B.C. over a month-and-a-half long span for the Beyond Boarding’s Cycle to the Sacred Bike Tour. The support vehicle, a Delica van converted to run on waste cooking oil (background), will be driven by Langley’s Nicole Kilistoff (right). Below – Kwantlen First Nation members showed their support for Cycle to the Sacred by hosting a drum ceremony in front of the Fort Langley Community Hall on Sunday, July 13. kilometres of railway through the headwaters to export the coal, and a 112-km power line linking the mine to the Northwest Transmission Line, “undoubtedly causing irreversible destruction of a vital ecosystem and gem of B.C. The Klabona Keepers need this province’s support at large to protecting it.” he fund and awarenessraiser is sponsored by John Henry Bikes in North Vancouver, and Wallace and Yerex will be aboard Valence road bikes. A support vehicle will be driven by Beyond Bording cofounder, 21-year-old Langley resident Nicole Kilistoff, who’ll be following along in a Delica van converted to run on waste cooking oil. Together, they’ll be raising funds through an online fundraising platform and hosting film screenings of Beyond Boarding’s independent documentary, Northern Grease, that features the Klabona Keepers to raise aware-

ness and funds along the route. “The film features professional level snowboarding, cinematography, and storytelling, and promises to hold audience attention throughout each evening of the tour,” Wallace said. The hope is to bring this issue to light, Yerex said. “It’s so far north, that people don’t know this issue is even happening,” Kilistoff added. “Just getting people aware, is really important.” During the trip, Wallace, Yerex, and Kilistoff will document stories of indigenous land defenders across B.C. as well as the landscapes they are protecting through photojournalism and videography. The trip will take roughly a month-and-a-half to complete. Along the way, they’ll will be stopping at various communities to spread their message, and screen the documentary. “It will be an interactive journey,” Wallace said. “We will be doing photography and vid-

Making it attractive to young people.” The group produces films, magazine articles, and online content that showcases its athletes leading the shift towards sustainable and humanitarian lifestyles by example.

Road safety

CounterAttack collars drivers

Const. Brett Henderson chatted with a driver at a CounterAttack roadblock on Friday, July 11 on 204th Street.

Drivers headed out at this time of year might run into an impaired driving road check in Langley. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Drivers passing through a Langley RCMP road check on Friday night saw a poster with the photos of dozens of people killed by drunk drivers. Markita and Victor Kaulius lost their daughter Kassandra on May 3, 2011 to a drunk driver. “All the hopes and dreams that you have for your child… it is life changing,” Markita said of what her family and others have gone through. Markita is now the president of Families For Justice, which advocates for tougher penalties for drunk drivers who cause fatal collisions. Their members include dozens of family members who have lost a child, Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance parent, or sibling Markita and Victor Kaulius were out to support to impaired drivpolice efforts to reduce drunk driving. They ers. lost their daughter Kassandra to a drunk Markita said the driver in 2011. group has been pushing for a mandatory minimum sentence of five years for impaired driving causing death. They are also asking for changes to the Criminal Code to create a charge of vehicular manslaughter. As the Kaulius family put up their poster on the 203rd Street rail overpass, members of the Langley RCMP pulled over drivers heading both north and south. Most of the drivers were let through quickly, but a few were asked if they’d been drinking. Markita was pleased to see a roadside CounterAttack check in Langley. “I really am glad that they are [checking drivers], because it’s all about keeping the public safe,” said Markita. There are still too many people who think it’s okay to Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance drink and drive, said Officers talked to numerous drivers, but Markita. She noted that in only issued roadside driving bans to a the first five months handful on Friday. of this year, police around the province handed out 7,944 forms of temporary or immediate roadside driving prohibitions. According to statistics from ICBC, an average of 10 people are killed in impaired driving-related crashes every summer in the Lower Mainland alone. On average, 96 people die every year in B.C. from impaired driving crashes, and it remains one of the leading causes of fatal collisions. About 29 per cent of all fatal collisions are linked to impaired driving. Markita and her group met with Canada’s Minister of Justice Peter McKay in February, and were told to expect some changes to the laws by 2015. She said she believes everyone has the right to get home safely. ICBC recommends planning for a safe ride home in advance, whether by using a designated driver, calling a taxi, or taking transit. At the road check, most drivers were heading through with a smile and a wave from the officers, but between the seven hours roadblocks were in place at 204th, and on 88th Avenue, the RCMP issued one 90-day immediate roadside prohibition, a three-day roadside prohibition, and a 12-hour suspension, and also dinged nine drivers for not using seatbelts, two for using cellphones, two for speeding, several others for various traffic violations, and 11, mostly new drivers, for disobeying restrictions on their licenses.

Education

Local girl off to London A Langley go-getter has earned a scholarship to the prestigious London School of Economics. Langley’s Lexi Vankevich is the first Canadian to receive Rotary International scholarship under the Global Grant program. Valued at $53,000, the scholarship will allow her to attend the London School of Economics starting in September as she goes after her Masters degree in science, social policy, and education. The Rotary Club of Langley had the honour of announcing the scholarship. “I’m so grateful for the mentorship of Langley’s Rotarians in my life. It was the late Eric Bysouth, longtime Langley Rotarian, who was the first Rotarian to take me under his wing,” she said. Vankevich has been busy with an array of activities that earned her the scholarship. She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in history in April from Trinity Western University, served as an intern in the Prime

Transportation

Rider numbers rise Langley politicians talked transit while bus ridership has been increasing rapidly. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

As Langley Township council met with their counterparts to discuss transit, TransLink announced it has seen a major increase in bus ridership. Township Councillor Steve Ferguson had suggested the meeting of South of the Fraser councils to discuss their mutual issues around transit. They met with the chair of the TransLink Mayors’ Council, Richard Walton of the District of North Vancouver, and had a chance to both throw out questions and concerns. Ferguson said the common view south of the river is that the communities from Delta to Langley are still lagging behind when it comes to transit service. “It’s been one challenge after another,” said Ferguson. Overall he said it was a good meeting. One of the issues currently facing any transit improvements is the lack of a completed plan on how to fund TransLink. The Mayors Council has come forward with an ambitious proposed plan that would include light rail from Surrey all the way to Langley City, along with a hefty increase in bus service in communities like Willoughby and Brookswood. However, the plan and its funding methods, which could include road pricing, is to be put to the public in a referendum that will likely not be held until next spring. According to a TransLink report issued Wednesday, the number of bus boardings increased by 11 per cent in 2013, adding 4.3 million more times people used the system. Many communities like Richmond, Delta, and Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows, saw increases in ridership of 10 per cent or more. New routes like the 555 express bus that takes riders from Langley over the Port Mann Bridge to connect to SkyTrain, helped drive a lot of the increase, according to the report.

Opinion

Ryan McAdams PUBLISHER rmcadams@langleyadvance.com

LangleyAdvance

Stupid is as stupid does

People do stupid things sometimes. That doesn’t necessarily mean they are stupid people… it just means practically everyone does something once in awhile that can get them into serious – and unnecessary – trouble. Younger people, especially younger men, seem particularly prone to lapses in judgment that can cause themselves harm. (Check out the statistics on car crashes involving young male drivers, if your first instinct is to disagree.) Personal jeopardy isn’t the only risk that risk-takers create when they seek out their adrenalin fix. A lot of people can end up paying for those adrenalin fixes when the risks suddenly outdistance the abilities of the risk-takers. The people who offer expertise and time to rescue others from judgmental lapses pay with their own time, hardships, and too often, risks to life and limb. Many of the people who do the rescue work are paid by taxpayers – that’s money out of your pocket and ours. Successful rescues often result in medical care costs – borne by the general population through universal heath care. Those costs can be significant, depending on the extent of care required. The cost of worry – or grief – to family and friends cannot be measured. Sending the rescued risk-taker the bill for services rendered is not the answer. Not all rescues result from “stupid” decisions, and it’s not always easy to define a line between incidents caused by simple misfortune and those resulting from… well… a moment of stupidity. Knowledge that a call for help could result in financial hardship might deter some people from seeking assistance until it’s too late. Nothing gained. Warning signs at risk-prone outdoor venues don’t seem to work – on the contrary, they have been known to attract the risk-takers! Perhaps the best way to deter predictable errors in judgment is to be blunt. As Forrest Gump famously noted, “Stupid is as stupid does.” – B.G.

Spend & save for cheap teachers Painful truth

B.C. MLAs start at $101,000 a year. There is no minimum education requirement to become an MLA; teachers require years of university. While the room to maneuver between the lower and higher end of the teacher pay scale Matthew Claxton may not be massive, it does suggest at least a mclaxton@langleyadvance.com partial solution to a couple of problems facing the province.

Vandalism

Thursday, July 17, 2014

Art horses deserve protection

Dear Editor, There were 10 horses painted by artists at the Langley Arts Council building last year, and they were sold to raise money for the arts in Langley and a facility for the arts. One of them was Tattoo, which was set up with no protection for it, and no security cameras at Brookswood Park. It was no surprise to me when vandals destroyed the horse by cutting off its head and legs [Vandalized horse leads to positive message, July 10, Langley Advance]. It is too bad we have to guard against these things, but to my knowledge, all the other horses that were purchased were brought inside at night, as a precaution, and were in public view in the daytime.

I don’t get it. They do a repeat, and the same thing happens again. Now they are going to do it again, just to prove a point to those darn vandals. They are writing a book about Letters bullying, and they are going to to the put that horse out there again? What are they thinking? Vandals don’t read the articles and learn a lesson; they love all Editor the attention it is causing. Volunteers put time and money into repairing the horse twice, and they are going to do it again? Put the horse somewhere that is open, and take it in at night. It’s simple as that, and never mind all the nonsense. Sheila Patzke, Langley

Education labour dispute

Taxpayers deserve money refunded

Dear Editor, It’s happened to all of us. You go to a store, pre-order, pay for the purchase, and wait for it to arrive. But when the order never comes in, the remedy is simple: demand a refund. The labour dispute between the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) has put British Columbians in that situation: they paid more than $200 million in taxes for education services that were not delivered. We should get a refund. The teachers’ three weeks of rotating strikes saved

government $18.5 million per week. With the full strike, the savings grew to $80 million for each of the last two weeks of June. More is saved with the cancellation of summer school. Government has a responsibility to refund that money, at least $200 million, to the people who paid for the educational service but didn’t receive it. That works out to roughly $40 for every man, woman, and child in B.C. For a family of four, that would be $160 – certainly a welcome amount for households that burned through vaca-

Animal welfare

Animals deserve our support

Dear Editor, Thank you to the people who have been calling in to the BCSPCA to report pets left in vehicles during the hot spell. All animals need caring humans to represent them. I’m heartened by people who will take the time to be a voice for animals. You might label me an “activist,” but I have just taken to heart the BCSPCA motto: “Speaking for those who can’t speak for themselves.” I’ve made a commitment to do what I can. My impact may not be overwhelming, but joined to a larger community of people willing to play a part, I can make a difference. Humans and animals deserve to be treated with respect. We can all play a part in animal welfare by speaking up, reporting possible abuse such as with the animals in sweltering vehicles, or by making a donation to an animal welfare organization, or donating our time in the same way, or even by just writing a letter to the local paper. Animals really need our voices now more than ever. Jacqueline Hohmann, Cloverdale

What you’re telling us on Facebook A B.C. truckers’ association explained •their opposition to the government’s

decision to raise speed limits on some of the province’s highways. Here’s what some of our Facebook friends had to say: Aaron Sifo-Dyas – This is why we have passing lanes, not fast lanes. There should be separate speed limits for commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles like they have to the south.

KT Trondsen – Totally agree with them. Once watched a truck with trailer fall on its side and drag for quite a distance – pretty scary.

tion days or had to hire unexpected childcare during the strike. When the Canadian Taxpayers Federation first suggested a refund, the BCTF’s social media horde lashed back, claiming the money “belonged” to education. But tax dollars actually belong to taxpayers – not to government, not to “the system,” and certainly not to labour unions. Refunding the money would support local communities. Taxpayers would have a few extra dollars for their local economies. It would also keep fiscal pressure on the provincial government. Taxpayers don’t want the government rewarding teachers for striking by handing them the $200 million. The BCTF believes itself to be a “social movement,” making a deal virtually impossible. While every other government union has settled two or three reasonable contracts over the past six years, the BCTF has engaged in bitter personal attacks and strayed beyond its education mandate, instead fighting every major economic development in the province. Those who believe public education is underfunded in B.C., could donate their $40 refund to a local school district foundation. Others could use the money as they see fit. Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have been suspiciously tight-lipped about how the strike savings will be spent. If you believe that money should be refunded, please sign the petition at www.taxpayer.com. Jordan Bateman, Langley Letters on this page have been edited for space.

Willoughby

Residents blast Willoughby project by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Neighbours of a planned commercial, office, and townhouse project on the Willoughby slope raised concerns about everything from property values to rats. At a public hearing on Monday, almost 20 residents objected to the construction of a Portrait Homes project in the 20300 block of 65th Avenue. Most of the residents live directly to the north of the site on 66th Avenue. “Too many buildings are proposed for the lot size,” said June Clydesdale. The project calls for a mixed complex with two buildings containing 120 apartments, 4,990 square feet of commercial space facing 65th Avenue, and 13,690 feet of office space. Another 91 townhouse units would back up the slope north

Peter added, “We’re just kind of flying by the seat of our pants here. We’ve never done this kind of thing before. But it will be fun.”

Downtown bustling Roxanne Hooper/Langley Advance

Peter, Cheryl, and Dave Foreman tuned up their car washing skills in preparation for Saturday’s charity event at their 198th Street shop. part-time staff plus friends are rolling up their sleeves again, this time in a quest to break a world record. One of the auto shop’s suppliers, Krown Rust Control, is coordinating a nation-wide car wash this Saturday with all money being donated to the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. They underlying goal is to offer the most car washes by an organization in one day and break a record. “We’ve always been interested in helping the community,” said Dave, who noted they’ve sponsored lots of organizations and teams in Langley through the years. But this is the first time in a long time they’ve actually

physically taken part in a fundraising event of this magnitude. When approached by their Krown rep about participating in a fundraiser to help make wishes come true for children with lifethreating illnesses, it was a no-brainer, Peter said. Planning to wash cars from 9 a.m. through to 2 p.m., he’s hoping the local team can wash upwards of 100 cars. With shops across the country taking part, Krown hopes to see 10,000 cars washed and with a minimum donation of $10 per car wash, the goal is to raise $100,000 for the charity. “It would be fabulous if it’s a very popular event,” said Cheryl.

Speaking of events this weekend, I want to tell you about a new event in downtown Langley that offers some cool activities, as well as $1,000 in downtown dollars to one person. It’s called the Open Air Sale, and organizers – namely a big group of downtown merchants – want to make this an annual July event. The public is invited to take part in a number of activities Saturday, July 19, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The day features a scavenger hunt, as well as a $1,000 downtown shopping spree draw, and live music. Other features for the day will include facepainting, balloon twisting, caricture drawing, and a photo booth. For more, visit www. downtownlangley.com.

Douglas Park

Free family dance returns City bandshell offers welcome venue for a community music event.

Residents of all ages tend to come out for the Boppin’ In The Park dance. This is an annual event, and the 2014 dance is being held Friday, July 18, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Douglas Park and the bandshell.

Big bang …continued from A13

The competition is put on during Aldergrove Fairdays (visitaldergrovefairdays.com). This newly named event, now having attained WFDA world status, will feature a new westernstyle backdrop which was built by the Bomba Boys Scenery and Stag Company, and the event will also feature a Cowboy Church on Sunday morning at 9 a.m. Another favourite of the event is the annual celebrity fast draw challenge, which is “aimed” if you will, at such local celebrities. Past events have featured Langley Township Councillor Bev Dornan, Langley MLA Mary Polak, and Langley MP Mark Warawa, to name a few. Actress Robin Reichmann, who took second in the event year, has also been invited back to compete. Prior to high noon, participants will be given a 15-minute tutorial on fast draw, which is basically a warm-up. Each competitor will have a world class fast draw shooter for support while on the line, as well as making available blank ammo plus the singleaction six guns. Only blank ammunition is used at balloon targets, placed eight feet away from the competitors. Electronic timers decide the winners. “Once again, safety and fun will be the key ‘aim’ for all,” WFDA Area 20 vice chairman Den Robinson said.

hen Fat City Swing’s summer dances in the Douglas Park were discontinued, it left a void, said Pat Weibelzahl. That’s when the folks at You’ve Gotta Have Friends – a group Weibelzahl founded – stepped up and moved their community dances from St. Joseph’s church to the bandshell in the City park. Since that move four years ago, the annual Boppin’ In The Park event has been growing. Now, this Friday, literally hundreds of people are expected to bop and boogie to

the musical stylings of lesismoremusic. com, Weibelzahl said. “We give local musicians a venue to perform and each dance focuses on different genres, i.e. rock, country, Dixieland, etc.” she explained. You’ve Gotta Have Friends aims to facilitate community connections and one way to do this is through free familyfriendly events, including this dance. “Boppin’ In The Park has a festive atmosphere and we provide opportunities for people to mix and get to know one another. And, children add a fun element as they play with bubbles and games,” Weibelzahl said, already gearing up for this week’s event. The free dance runs from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, July 18 at Douglas Park. And, the event is free thanks to the fundraising efforts of YGHF members who recycle bottles and host concessions through the year, she explained. Participants are encouraged to wear purple and yellow to celebrate the YGHF’s kindness connects initiative.

Dear Anne,

“Can the avocado seed be planted to grow a plant?”

Daryl Shim, Burnaby

es, it can. The avocado shoot emerges from the smaller end of the pit, the roots from the fatter end. In this climate, avocados can go outside in summer, but they’re frost-tender and need to be taken in for winter. The beautiful, big glossy avocado leaves make it a good houseplant when it’s young. For sprouting, you wash the avocado pit, then stick three toothpicks horizontally into it about four centimetres (1½ inches) up from the wide end. The toothpicks can then extend over the rim of a full glass of water so that the pit is securely balanced. The water should cover the bottom end of the pit about an inch. Top up the water frequently to keep it at that level. It’s usually five or six weeks before the pit splits and a shoot appears. When the shoot is about 10cm (4 in.) tall, nip off the top leaves. In a couple of weeks, more leaves will grow and the new avocado tree is ready for planting. It needs pot at least 20cm (8 in.) across, as

avocados grow into large trees, far too big to be kept in a house. But in the ground outside, they won’t get through the winter. So in our climate, they won’t produce fruit.

Dear Anne,

“What do you think about egg shells for soil nutrition?’

Mi Vuong, Vancouver

ggshells do add nutrition to the soil. They contain a lot of calcium, a small amount of phosphorus, a tiny amount of nitrogen, and traces of other elements. I’ve been adding eggshells to my veggie garden for years. I roughly squeeze used eggshells into pieces an drop them

What’s

into an old basin under the kitchen sink. When the basin is full, I put it aside until the eggshells are thoroughly dry, then I crush them very small with a potato masher and spread them on the garden. Meanwhile, I have put another old basin under the sink for the next batch of eggshells. In winter, I sometimes have one basin filling under the sink, a second with eggshells drying and a third with crushed eggshells waiting for the garden. Some people prefer to powder the eggshells, because powder breaks down faster and releases

the nutrition almost immediately. But others just leave the eggshells in tiny pieces, because it improves the texture of the soil, much as grit does. The calcium still slowly releases. In order to do the powdering, you really need a kitchen machine: a food processor or some other grinding device.

Ukulele players share musical passion with Waikiki

Senior members of the Langley Ukulele Ensemble have just begun a 12-day, 10-show trip to Hawaii.

Paul Luongo leads the Langley Ukulele Ensemble which is making its 19th trip to Hawaii.

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

troupe of Langley teens touched down in Waikiki late last night, and were expected to be rested, refreshed, and set to perform the first of 10 shows on the tropical island this morning. At least, that was the itinerary for 23 members of the Langley Ukulele’s senior ensemble, who – as a group – were in Hawaii for the 19th time representing their hometown, B.C., and Canada on an international stage. “We’re Hawaii bound. Everyone here is just so excited,” ensemble director Paul Luongo said the night before departing Vancouver’s YVR. “And while everyone here is energized, everyone in Hawaii is so excited to have us, too,” he added, noting they’ll be there for 12 days and 11 nights. This is 25-year-old Luongo’s 15th trip to Hawaii with the ensemble, but this is his first time as their leader rather than a participating student.

In addition to the nine chaperones – primarily parents – joining him and the kids on this trip, Luongo said he’s feeling more confident and comfortable about this enormous undertaking knowing his father Peter – who started the ensemble trips to Hawaii more than two decades ago – is also making the excursion. “He’s graciously agreed to take two of his five weeks of annual vacation time to accompany us to Waikiki,” Paul said, still unsure however if he’ll have any luck coaxing his dad to perform. “Oh, who am I kidding,” the young Luongo injected. “I’m sure we’ll work something out. We’ll get him up on stage there with us, and I’m sure he’ll get the kids enthused as he has done so incred-

ibly well for all those years.” Peter Luongo was ensemble director for 32 years and retired from the post last summer, handing over the reins to his son Paul. The senior member of the family is, however, still president of the uke society. In preparation for this trip, the students have been rehearsing since May 1, once a week as a full ensemble and at least one other time a week in smaller groups. “We’re finally venturing into the 1980s,” the young director said, explaining that the ensemble has been preparing a series of popular numbers from that era including the works of Guns & Roses, Michael Jackson, Journey, Bon Jovi, and Survivor. “I’ll even be wearing tight pants and

I’ve been growing out my hair, just for this occasion,” joked Paul. As has become tradition on this Hawaii trip, the ensemble will be staying at and performing at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel. They have eight shows at their hotel, two other shows at the Moana Surfrider Resort, a performance for each of the three local Rotary clubs, one show at the Bank of Hawaii in the heart of the city, a live appearance on the Fox News network, and a day set aside to explore the west side of the island and swim with the dolphins and other tropical fish. They’ll be doing a little sightseeing and relaxing on the trip, Luongo said, but ultimately he said “the purpose of this trip is to perform music, to share our love and passion for the music.” While the local ensemble has raised about $35,000 towards the cost of this trip through concerts and shows over the past year plus, Luongo said about half of the expedition is subsidized – and ultimately made possible – through sponsorship from the Sheraton. When the teens return home near the end of the month, Luongo said, they’ll have a few weeks off to enjoy what’s left of summer before performing on the PNE main stage on Aug. 28.

here’s many a little girl who loves dressing up as a princess. And at least 250 local princesses – and even a few pirates – are expected to attend the third annual charity princess tea party happening at Cascades Casino on Saturday. It’s a Children’s Wish Foundation fundraiser, and while the popular event started in Nova Scotia more than a decade ago, it has spread across the country. This is still the only party of this type in B.C., said Children’s Wish development coordinator Irina Novak. But it is hugely popular, and helped raise about $6,000 for the cause, last year alone. A similar fundraising goal has been set for this year, too, which she said is possible because of the “incredible” donation of food and space from Cascades and the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre. There are still a few tickets left, at $25 each from bc.princessteapartycanada. ca or call 778-383-1415. “With the purchase of your ticket, you are helping to ensure that the Children’s Wish Foundation can continue to grant the most heartfelt wishes of local kids with life-threatening illnesses,” Novak said. “It’s a very unique event,” she added. “It’s an afternoon of everything princess.” • More: www.langleyadvance.com Click on ‘Community’

“I’m really looking forward to the opportunity,” said Cooke. Cooke will be working with Canadian diplomats as well as the Palestinian police. He’ll be advising his Palestinian counterparts and will be helping them build up their capacity, offering any advice that will help them create a modern police force with a solid basis in human rights and up-to-date techniques. One of the past projects of the Canadian government has been to establish a crime lab in the Palestinian Authority, Cooke noted.

Sensations skip for world title in Hong Kong A Walnut Grove teen is flying to Hong Kong with her teammates to represent Canada at the world jump rope championships. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Fancy footwork landed Walnut Grove teen Lauren Kimoto and the other three members of the Neon Sensations in Hong Kong in two weeks. And they’ll need fleet feet and impeccable timing to make an impact at the FISAC (Federation Internationale de saut a la Corde) Jump Rope World Championships, being held July 28 to Aug. 3 in the Chinese metropolis. Kimoto is the lone Langley athlete on the Abbotsford team which includes Kaeli Wiens, Sadie Baird, and Brittany Van Herk. Formed in September 2013, the Neon Sensations earned the right to represent Canada at the world competition after taking top spot in their 1517 age group at both the B.C. provincials in Nelson, and the Canadian national rope skipping championships, held May 16-19 in Abbotsford. The team has performed shows as larger groups for events like the B.C. boys high school basketball championships, Trinity Western University and the University of the Fraser Valley basketball and volleyball games, during Canada Day in Abbotsford, and in front of Zajac Ranch campers. But this upcoming world championships is new territory for all four Neon Sensations team members, and Kimoto isn’t sure what to expect. “It’s a different style than how you jump in Canada and in the States, because there’s different judging criteria,” she

The Neon Sensations including, left to right, Lauren Kimoto, Sadie Baird, Brittany Van Herk, and Kaeli Wiens took first place in the 15- to 17-year-old age group at the Canadian national rope skipping championships, held May 16-19 in Abbotsford.

said, “where this is more [of] you have to have certain skills and it’s not quite the same as Canada. It’s more based on the French and European styles.” As they are among the youngest foursomes in their group – Kimoto and Van Herk are both 15 years old, Baird and Wiens are 14 – the Neon Sensations are focusing on keeping their routines clean and doing their best. “We are at the very bottom of our age group because it is 15-plus, it’s not 15 to 17,” Kimoto said. Joining Kimoto in Hong Kong is her dad Dwayne. “There’s nine of us in total, the four skippers, four parents, and a coach,” Dwayne said. Kimoto got involved in jump rope five years ago, through community camps hosted by the Abbotsford Skipping Sensations at the Abbotsford Rec Centre. “You go to community camps and then you’re asked to join the team if they think you’re a good fit,” said Kimoto, whose 12-year-old cousin Kira Peary is a member of Abbotsford Skipping Sensations program. “She started late,” Kimoto’s mom Paula added. “She didn’t get asked to be on the team until

days a week, two hours each session in Abbotsford and compete in events for speed, power, and freestyle. They also compete as individuals, pairs, and teams of four or five. “There’s individual events that you do by yourself with your own single rope,” Kimoto explained She noted that there are a variety of speed events in which a skipper jumps for 30 seconds or three minutes and will perform as many jumps as possible over that allotted time span. There are also single rope freestyle events where a routine is performed to music, and skippers are judged on their creativity, difficulty, and technique. “And there’s consecutive power which is either a ‘double under’ where you jump once and your rope goes under two times, and a triple under, where you jump once and your rope goes under three times,” added Kimoto, who feels she can always improve in her chosen sport. “There’s always new challenges, new skills and you always want to improve because there’s always new tricks being made up, by someone,” she said. There are currently teams in Nelson, Penticton, Vancouver Island, and Chilliwack, as well.

All of Aldergrove’s games were very exciting, showing great displays of skill, energy, athleticism, and enthusiasm.

Silver lining for Xtreme at provincial tournament A gritty effort in the Silver Division final fell just short for the Langley U14 girls.

The Langley Xtreme U14B girls softball team won silver in the Silver Division at the provincial championship tournament.

The Langley Xtreme 2001 U14B girls softball team battled the elements and the opposition on their way to a silver medal at the provincial championships last weekend. The weekend didn’t start out too hot for a team that ultimately came away with a silver medal in the Silver Division. Langley played the top three 2000-year teams in the round robin in its first four games.

The team lost all four games and was relegated to the Silver division as the last No. 17 seed. But that didn’t stop the Xtreme. In their first playoff game the Extreme mercied the Invaders 01 team 9-2, followed by an extra innings, 8-5 win over the ninth-seeded (and top seed in the Silver Division) Kelowna Heat on a steamy night in Delta. This set up a semifinal game versus Victoria in which the Xtreme came away with an 8-3 win. The win vaulted the Xtreme

into the final against their D-8 rivals, the Abby Outlaws 2000. Down 7-3 in the fifth inning, the Xtreme came to life with a 10-run fifth inning to take a 13-7 lead. With their fourth game in less than 24 hours in the intense heat, the Xtreme came up just short, losing 14-13 in a game that took seven innings to complete. The Xtreme were the only 2001 team to medal at the provincial tournament. The Langley girls medaled in five of six tournaments they were involved in, including four second-place results.
