Five years later, she’s kicked her addiction and looks forward to the future. That’s why she’s elated to be helping set up a new Langley thrift shop that will help other women and their children. The Battered and Abused Women and Children Thrift Shop opens today (July 2) on 56th Avenue and 205th Street (the former McFrugal’s discount store site).

The restaurant will often provide a little something for those who can’t afford food. The new thrift store, which will expand in the near future to almost 20,000 square feet, will be open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Brogans plan to have a grand opening for the deli and thrift store in late July.

trial date set

& SCAVENGER HUNT

A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for early next year for two local road builders accused of fraud. Matthew Brooks and Kirk Roberts are both charged with fraud over $5,000. The two men, respectively the former president and book keeper for Aggressive Roadbuilders, were charged early this year after an investigation by the RCMP Federal Serious and Organized Crime Section. A preliminary hearing will start on Feb. 23, 2016, and is expected to last for eight days. A trial by judge and jury will follow. Brooks has been appearing without a lawyer thus far in the proceedings, which has led to some delay in setting a trial date. Little information has been released on the nature of the charges, although the investigation stretches back to 2009 and is related to financial institutions. Aggressive was formerly a prominent Lower Mainland road construction firm, taking on multi-million dollar projects in Langley Township, Langley City, and in Surrey. Brooks formerly lived in Langley and had a lengthy building permit and bylaw dispute with the Township over a large house he owned in the 500 block of 202nd Street. Starting in 2006, construction and renovations without permits were noticed on the property, and that eventually led to court action by the Township that wrapped up in 2009. At around the same time, Aggressive went bankrupt owing millions of dollars, and the house went into receivership and was sold.

SAFETY

WILDLIFE

Cougars eyed

Langley Township is reassuring residents that it monitors the local cougar situation after recent sightings. Earlier this month, a cougar was spotted near the Otter Co-Op and there was one confirmed cougar attack on a young cow in South Langley. The B.C. Ministry of the Environment is responsible for dealing with wildlife through its Conservation Officer Service. Township Mayor Jack Froese has been in regular contract with the Ministry of the Environment and the area’s Conservation Officer, and is being kept up to date on the issue. While there have been some unconfirmed cougar sightings, no further attacks have been attributed to the wild cat. The Township offered advice if a cougar is seen. If a cougar is spotted in an area, keep away from the animal and bring children and pets inside until it leaves. Most cougars will simply be passing through but if it lingers or becomes threatening, call the conservation call centre at 1-877952-7277. Anyone who encounters a cougar should remain calm and keep the animal in view at all times. Pick up any children present and slowly back away to an area with a clear avenue of escape. People should never turn their backs on cougars and never run because sudden movement can be a trigger for the animal. > More at langleyadvance.com

Fire damages home An electrical fault is thought to have started the fire. MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Township firefighters doused a Sunday night fire at an older home in the Willoughby neighbourhood. The fire broke out on a rear deck of a home in the 7400 block of 200th Street,

on the west side of the road, said Township assistant fire chief Pat Walker. When the firefighters arrived, the back deck and its fibreglass roof panels were fully aflame, and the rear windows of the house cracked from the fire’s heat. Although the structure was mostly saved, the owner had no insurance, Walker said. An overtaxed electrical circuit is thought to have caused the residential fire, said Walker.

Letters to the editor

Canadian government’s plan for seal products outrageous Dear Editor, Markets for seal products are fast disappearing around the world. Yet for the past two decades, the Canadian government has been subsidizing this dying industry. In a last-ditch attempt to revive an unnecessary and barbaric industry, the Canadian government is considering selling sex potions made from seal penises to Asia. A shocking report commissioned by the Canadian government in 2013 reveals a plan for the following:

• Grinding up seal carcasses to make seal hot dogs, meatballs, and other processed meat products, • Marketing seal-meat protein as a weight loss product, • Selling seal penises as sexual enhancement products for Asian markets. This marketing plan will cost the Canadian taxpayers $20 million. There is no scientific evidence to support a seal cull. It is merely used as an excuse to appease fishermen – the reasons for dwindling fish stocks include

ocean acidification and overfishing, but that’s another topic. It is appalling in the 21st century for a developed country such as Canada to be marketing wildlife parts – such as seal sex organs for virility – to perpetuate this misguided belief to Asian populations, when wildlife conservationists around the world are trying to stop wildlife trafficking and poaching. Send a letter to your MP if you are against this outrageous plan and the seal hunt itself. Dr. Patricia Tallman, Walnut Grove

LMH anniversary towering success

Dear Editor: Honouring the Past, Investing in the Future was the motto of this committee when we set out last year to celebrate Langley Memorial Hospital’s South Tower 50th anniversary. After months of planning and two special events – a tea for present and former staff, and a barbecue on the hospital grounds for staff and the public –

we feel we have accomplished our goal. Judging from the decibel level at both events, it can be assumed that they were a resounding success. The excitement of people who had not seen each other for years, but still had so many memories to share, was intoxicating. And it was gratifying to feel the energy and interest of the present

staff as they welcomed Langley citizens to view memorabilia, and tell stories of their association with LMH, particularly the South Tower that has become the cornerstone of the present facility. However, neither the tea in February nor the recently held barbecue could have happened without the help and support of countless individuals

Hospital ER parking fees diabolical Dear Editor, I had to take my grandson to Langley Memorial Hospital over the weekend. His mother couldn’t drive due to worry and stress. We entered the Emergency and to my dismay the parking was $4.25 per hour.

We were there approximately six hours, and the toddler had to stay for two days. Whilst I can understand (to a degree) parking when visiting a patient, I think an emergency charge is diabolical. End of rant. Tom O’Neill, Langley Meadows

including: Langley Township Firefighters; the hospital department managers and staff; and volunteers and LMH Auxiliary members and Sodexo staff who went above and beyond. Two people guided our committee – Graham Hiscocks of the LMH Foundation, and Craig Goulet from Fraser Health Authority, while Dr. Elaine Mah’s generous monetary contribution made it all possible. Our committee has fulfilled its role to honour the past; now we leave it to the LMH staff and future generations of Langley citizens to continue to invest in the future.

Help Rwandan school children by riding a bike HEATHER COLPITTS

had so little, and I wished there was something I could do to help them,” Rachel said. “When we moved back to Canada, I volunteered at Wellspring’s Lake2Lake bike race for adults to raise money for Rwandan schools. Then I thought, if adults can do this, why can’t kids?” People can learn more and sign up at www.rachelsride.ca. The staging area is Derby Reach Regional Park.

works to provide education in Rwandan schools. (This is a different organization than the Langley-based Fibromyalgia Wellspring Foundation which helps people with the disease.) Last year’s ride with Rachel Fitz and eight other young cyclists raised $5,600.

Wellspring CEO Andy Harrington is impressed. “To see young people raising funds for children who are just like them, but who don’t have some of the same advantages, is deeply meaningful,” he said. “I love the way that kids are being empowered, and the way in which they are not overlooked or ignored in the process. Kids count, they matter, and they can be world changers.”

Water Wise is a Township initiative delivered in partnership with Langley Environmental Partners Society. • Limit lawn sprinkling to once a week for an hour. This allows your lawn to stay green while increasing its resilience to drought. • Fix leaks in your toilets, showers and faucets. Repairing leaks is a great and easy way to save a lot of water. • Replace old inefficient fixtures in your house with water-saving fixtures. • Spread a layer of organic mulch around your plants to help the soil retain moisture. • Use rain barrels to water the garden – the flowers love rain water.

COMMUNITY THEATRE

Shakespeare is a labour of love Lauren Trotzuk is back for her third year with the local Bard theatre group, as an actor and musical director. ROXANNE HOOPER rhooper@langleyadvance.com

She sings and writes music and scripts. She apparently even dances a bit, and does martial arts. She acts and has just recently co-founded a new musical theatre group in the Fraser Valley. She is Lauren Trotzuk, and she is described by fellow Shakespearean devotee and show producer Diane Gendron as a “bright, multi-talented” young woman who is once again lending her talents to Langley’s Bard in the Valley theatre group and its current production of Love’s Labour’s Lost. In her third season with Bard in the Valley, 20-year-old Trotzuk has not only taken on a position in the cast, but she’s embraced the duties of the musical director too – penning a few songs for LLL.

You will be entered into the draw. Preference will be given to Langley residents.

Postings must be received prior to 5 p.m. on Monday, July 6, and the winner will be notified by email. No staff or family of the Langley Advance or Black Press are eligible. This giveaway is restricted to online participants, 19 years or older only. Must include name and phone number.

“Theatre is 100 per cent of my passion… As long as I’m doing this, I’m a happy person,” Trotzuk told the Langley Advance. In addition to her volunteer duties with the local theatre group, Trotzuk has recently co-founded a new musical theatre group that presents its first original show in Abbotsford this fall. And all of this is done while juggling two jobs – one at the Marketplace IGA

in Murrayville and the other as a taekwando instructor – and being a fulltime student at KPU. “It’s a juggling act, for sure,” Trotzuk said, insisting how important scheduling has become in her life. “But I need to be busy… I always need a new challenge.” Trotzuk is one of 60 actors and artists volunteering their time to present this early Shakespearean comedy over the next month. The show is running on three different outdoor stages in town for a total of 16 performances between July 1 and Aug. 2. Their sixth season kicked off with their first free show on Canada Day and continues today and Friday on the lawn in front of Fort Langley’s historic community hall. That’s followed with a few $20 shows during the next few weeks at the Township 7 Winery. Those performances are being held July 10, 11, 17 and 18 at 7 p.m., with a matinee on Sunday, July 12 at 2 p.m. Then there’s eight free performances being hosted at the bandshell in Spirit Square at Douglas Park. Those dates are July 23-26, and July 30 to Aug. 2. > Read more about Trotzuk and the Bard show at www.langleyadvance.com

History lives on One of the last Red Ensigns to fly in Ottawa is now at TWU. Before Canada had its beloved Maple Leaf flag, the Red Ensign flew over the nation. On July 1, many Canadians flew the Maple Leaf – a symbol of national identity – which turned 50 earlier this year. But a little known fact is that 50 years ago, when the new Maple Leaf flag was adopted, then-prime minister Lester B. Pearson gifted one of the last Red Ensigns that ever flew over Parliament Hill in Ottawa to then-member of Parliament – and a founder of Trinity Western University – Robert N. Thompson. Consequently, one of those historic Red Ensigns now has a permanent home in Langley, in TWU’s archives. > Read more at: langleyadvance.com

Grey water ideal for thirsty trees

ANNE MARRISON

W

ith wells going dry, city water restrictions tightening, and no rain predicted for the foreseeable future, it’s not the best time to contemplate all the water shortage preparations that would have helped so much had we only done them in the spring. More useful right now is figuring out ways of using the little bit of water that still comes our way. Conventional watering advice is that watering should be a

GALLERY

Visually titillating

Fort Gallery is hosting its monthly artists evening tonight. The First Thursday – as it’s dubbed – happening July 2 from 7 to 9 p.m., featuring acting student Shelby Wyminga performing a short piece called Vicissitude. The evening will also feature local artists Susan Falk and Elizabeth Anderson, whose show Visual Stories is on display at the Fort Gallery until July 12, at 9048 Glover Rd. in Fort Langley. Info: fortgallery.ca.

thorough drenching infrequently given. But in desperate times this becomes impossible, unless one picks a few favourites and leaves the others to their fate. Luckily even small doses of water can stop a plant from dying. Grey water is very useful and most is relatively clean. I’m thinking of leftover tea, boiled-egg water, vegetable water, as well as water leftover from rinsing dishes, washing clothes or the cold clean water that runs down the drain while waiting for hot water to kick in. All good for flushing toilets, too. Years ago, when our water supply came erratically from a fivefoot well down in the bush, we plugged the bath and got a water bonanza from a week of showers. Showering with cold water up to your knees is not fun. But on weekends, we put a hose in the

bath, connected a small portable pump and used the shower water for watering the vegetable garden. Later we harvested a very decent crop – though we did discover that pole beans watered once weekly are stringy unless picked much earlier than normal. Grey water isn’t clean enough for leafy vegetables or dwarf beans. But it’s very effective for trees, shrubs or berry bushes especially if you get it directly down to the roots. Standard garden equipment includes deep-root watering spikes which can attach to a hose. The low-tech way is to plunge a crowbar into the soil (or in a pinch a sharpened piece of wood) and pour water down the hole which results. Best to cover the hole afterwards so it stays open for future use.

Container gardeners may be interested in watering bulbs. Lee Valley Tools sell porous ceramic spikes which can screw onto various water containers such as soft drink bottles or wine bottles. With food crops, priority should always go to anything currently forming fruit or the edible part of the crop. Other extra-needy plants include shallow-rooted ones such as rhododendrons and blueberries. Any tree, shrub or perennial plant in its first year also has an increased need for water. Meanwhile, the tougher characters include anything with taproots, tubers, or bulbs. Filagree, lacy, or needle-like leaves, grey leaves or succulent or waxy leaves also withstand drought well. So do lawns – and they do green up when (if?) fall rains hit. People wanting to be prepared next spring in

case next year is like this could start early mulching vegetable beds with grass clippings in-between the rows. The clippings can be spread closer into the rows as vegetables sprout. Soaker hoses are a good investment too, though it’s best to remember the soaking is less effective towards the far end of the hose. Sprinklers are not. Sprays of water evaporate superfast.

AMATEUR BOXING

Saturday night fights at Coast Hotel Mat Andreatta City Boxing pugilist

Expect a few fireworks of the pugilistic kind inside the Coast Hotel ballroom on July 4.

H

ometown boy Mat Andreatta has an opportunity to fight for a B.C. title this Saturday

inside the Coast Hotel’s ballroom in Langley. Andreatta faces Coquitlam’s Tyler Nicholson for the B.C.

lightweight championship, in the main event of the latest instalment of the Clash at the Cascades amateur boxing series.

In total, a dozen fights are scheduled for the July 4 event and according to matchmaker and promoter Dave Allison,

“all of them will provide excitement and drama, but as always it is the main event that attracts the interest.”

N

icholson owns a City title at 140 pounds and has a perfect record. He also competes in kickboxing and MMA bouts, and has had about 20 fights altogether, Allison noted. Andreatta, who just completed his third year at UBC, is strictly a boxer, and has been involved in roughly 20 matches, as well. “Both fighters are tall for 135 pounds, and both can hit for that weight,” Allison said.
