‘We watched electricity come up the road.’ A local pioneer recalls a quieter, gentler time in Langley

TRICIA LESLIE Times Reporter

Winter was much different in the Township of Langley when Hugh Davis’s grandfather first purchased a 121-acre farm at a Hudson’s Bay Company auction more than 100 years ago. Heat would have come from wood or coal-burning stoves and fireplaces. Most people would likely chop their own fuel — for heat and for cooking — from the plentiful trees that were all around them. There were no smart phones, MP3 players, iPads or TVs; no computers of any kind, nor Internet.There wasn’t even radio back in 1882. Horses and horse-powered wagons and carriages were still the main modes of transportation for local residents, other than by foot or by train — a fabulous new invention that was generally used to travel longer distances. B.C. did not have any rail line connections to other parts of Canada or North America at that time. Today, after a winter storm, the snow-covered fields of the Davis farm likely don’t look much different from what they looked like in 1882, but much else has changed. Hugh, who was born in 1924 in the same room in the same house as his father Henry Davis (who was born on the farm in 1895), remembers milking a cow with an automated milking machine for the very first time in 1930. Prior to that, milking was done by hand, but he remembers how automation revolutionized the dairy farming business. In 1933, Hugh — who is now 87 — witnessed the arrival of electricity in his rural Milner neighbourhood near 216 Street and Glover Road. “We watched electricity come up the road,” the octogenarian said, his smile coming easily and often. “We watched the lights come on, one by one. It was quite the thing.” Hugh still prefers the heat from the wood stove in his living room (as well as electric heat) and takes the time to interact with one of his grandchildren, Gavin — he has three children, seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild — who is visiting with daughter-in-law Nicole (Nicole is married to Hugh’s son David Davis, who was elected to Township council in November). “This is the fifth generation to live on the farm,” she said, referring to Hugh’s grandchildren. Although parts of the Davis farm, which has a sign letting guests know “This is Davis Country” when they arrive, were sold over the years, Hugh spent time buying much of the original farm back in five-acre parcels. The Davis dairy farm is now 100 acres; the family actually farms 300 acres in the Milner Valley, leasing other land for such things as grass silage and corn silage. continued, PAGE 9

Report of gun locks down LSS Driver killed in MVA

MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter

Langley Secondary School was again in lockdown mode after reports of a gun on campus Monday morning. Langley RCMP said an anonymous call from inside the school set off the massive police response. This time no gun was found and police have no suspects. In a Nov. 22 lockdown at the same school, a 17-year-old boy was arrested with a replica handgun. Students were kept in classrooms for around two hours on Monday, while police officers and dogs searched both floors of the school, room by room, looking for a gun and a suspect or suspects. An anonymous caller had reported seeing a firearm, said police. Around noon, Leslie Harvey, 21, was on the phone with her 18-year-old sister Cristine who was inside LSS. “She says they were a little bit scared. She’s in science class right now and they are underneath their desks waiting,” said Harvey, who, along with her parents, went to the nearby Twin Rinks parking lot to get information about their family member. “I was in the last lockdown at the daycare,” Harvey noted. Witnesses said that approximately 14 police cars surrounded the school and a good portion of 56 Avenue was blocked off to traffic. Langley Serious Crimes and general duty officers along with members of the Surrey RCMP and the Police Dog Services cordoned off a large portion of the area and conducted a search. The Emergency Response Team was also on standby. “There have been no reports of shots fired, or of any injuries. Additionally, we are not aware of any direct threat to a student or staff member,” said Marks at the Twin Rinks parking lot. Twin Rinks acted as a staging area for concerned parents. By noon, dozens of parents had gathered, wanting to know what was going on. Many parents from

RCMP, members of Victim Services and a representative Austin from the School Board were on hand to answer questions. In a statement posted on the Langley Secondary School website, the school urged parents to stay away from the campus. “As of 10:50 a.m. we are in lockdown. Police are here and the building is secure. We are taking all precautions to ensure all staff and students are safe,” the school website read. Marks urged parents not

Students trapped in their classrooms seemed to be quite calm, said Grade 11 student Austin Mallar. “They have us locked in our classrooms.

In that lockdown, a 17-year -old boy who’d been carrying a replica handgun was arrested by RCMP. The 17-year-old wasn’t charged with a criminal offense because there was no threat made. Police will now see if they can identify Monday’s caller. Marks said she doesn’t believe there is any connections between the two incidents. — with files from Miranda Gathercole.

A 25-year-old man has died in a single vehicle crash in rural south Aldergrove. The driver, who has not yet been named, was on his way to work when the crash occurred on Thursday morning in the 2300 block of 256 Street, said Cpl. Holly Marks, who speaks for Langley RCMP. There was no one else in the vehicle, a black Chevrolet Aveo which was travelling south on 256 Street when it apparently veered to the right, slid down an embankment before coming to rest against a tree. ICARS (Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstruction Service) was called in to help the Langley detachment’s traffic section with the investigation. Investigators are exploring the possibility that speed and road conditions were instrumental in the crash, which occurred between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. Marks said that 256 Street was closed between 16 and 24 Avenues for several hours. The man’s next of kin have been notified and have been offered the services of the Langley Client Support and Victim Services. Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604 532-3200.

Attribution incorrect In the Jan. 25 Langley Times article “Public ‘drama’ over Beaumont dismissal slammed by school trustees,” it was Trustee Rob McFarlane who made the comments about the public “going after the chair.” The original attribution to Trustee Rod Ross was incorrect.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) is a form of depression associated with the diminished daylight hours during the fall/winter months. The usual symptoms tend to be present but it is the treatment that is novel – light therapy. Specialized light boxes with a speciﬁc intensity of light are prescribed for about 30 minutes early in the day. Sufferers are also told to maximize their exposure to natural daylight. If you are looking for another excuse to include caffeine in your life, consider the recent study that indicated it could help stave off skin cancer. However, to be effective, it has to be applied to the skin! It appears to inhibit an enzyme in skin cells that can lead to the development of cancerous cells. Caffeine orally also helps prevent non-melanoma skin cancers – a cancer superhero?

Clinical depression is more than just feeling sad and the symptoms often aren’t recognized. These symptoms include feeling hopeless, restless, irritability, loss of interest in normal activities, fatigue, difﬁculty making decisions or concentrating, insomnia or excessive sleeping, loss of appetite or over-eating, suicidal thoughts and aches or other conditions that do not ease with treatment. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, consult a physician.

But Townsend points to Raymond’s report to find what he believes is actually motivating the housing development component of the school’s expansion plan: the lack of support of local churches. Raymond reveals that the support of churches has all but petered out: “The fire has gone out completely with most and is just a cooling ember with a few. It is no wonder our support from churches is embarrassingly little, both prayer and financial assistance.” Townsend said that this might explain why Trinity is anxious to embark on the ‘university district,’ and begs the question, if Trinity gets what it wants, will other Langley

The Township would be deeded 52 acres for conservation, and another 87 acres would remain an equestrian farm. The property falls within the Rural Plan zone which has a minimum 20-acre parcel size. It is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, and the Agricultural Land Commission has given preliminary approval for the subdivision. • 7645 and 7679 Glover Rd., and 22423 Labonte Cres.

Township documents on the proposal are sketchy in detail, mentioning only that the proposal for these properties is for “learning, recreational, cultural, employment and housing opportunities.” Some housing, a food store and coffee shop geared to the university community, are also planned, a Township spokesman said.

Gambling’s here to stay

here is a worrying trend in Langley Township — one of allowing applications for urban uses within the Agricultural Land Reserve to proceed at least to the public hearing stage. This is particularly ironic, given that some applications within designated urban areas often languish for years within the planning department. The most recent proposal for urban use within a long-established agricultural area is for 13.5 acres on the Wall farm property, located at the northeast corner of Glover Road and Springbrook Road (Highway 10). While this is not the first urban use proposal for this land, which the Wall family has owned since the 1960s, it is completely out of character for the land and for the entire area. There are no urban subdivisions within miles of this site. Two intensive farm operations are located across Springbrook Road. There is no sewer system to connect to. Roads in the area, other than Highway 10, are narrow country roads with no sidewalks or street lights. It makes no sense from a planning perspective to permit 67 homes, 21 of them with coach houses (additional suites), to be built in this area. Most of the Wall farm is top quality agricultural land, and it could be put to many potential uses. Many of those uses will be severely restricted in the future, should a housing development be placed on two separate sections of the existing farm. The Agricultural Land Commission’s call for the remainder of the farm to remain in agricultural use, and another portion of the property to be given to the Township for environmental purposes, isn’t a realistic quid pro quo. The environmental reserve will never be anything other than a flooding overflow area. It cannot be used for either agriculture or outdoor recreation. These 67 homes belong in Willoughby, in an area that is planned for urban. There the residents would at least have a chance of accessing transit, and of making use of facilities like the Langley Events Centre and local schools. Township council should turn down this proposal, and ensure that the Wall farm remains available for full agricultural use.

uzzling is perhaps the kindest description that can be given to Abbotsford council’s 5-4 decision Monday night to disallow more slot machines at the Chances Community Gaming Centre. We understand long-standing concerns in regard to gambling. It is a recreational activity that certainly does have downsides. For some people it’s addictive, devouring income, tearing apart families and relationships, and in the most severe cases, leading to criminal activity to support the habit. There are moral arguments to be made to keep gambling out of a community entirely. Except, of course, that those who wish to gamble will simply go to the nearest city that does allow the activity. And the same thing will apply here in respect to Monday’s vote. Abbotsford chose to allow slot machines in 2009 at the former bingo hall. Now, with public demand outpacing available slots, Chances wanted to bring the existing maximum of 125 machines up to 300 over time. The operation was seeing revenue walk away, as gamblers took their money to other facilities. Ultimately, the city and its various charitable groups that receive nearly $1.4 million from the gambling proceeds, are also losing out. The point is, gambling is already here. We don’t agree that more machines available translates into more money being taken from local family budgets, as opponents assert. That money will be spent anyway, at nearby casinos in Langley, Surrey, or in Washington state. In fact, a 2010 survey at Chances revealed that nearly half of the players come from out of town. The gambling genie is already out of the bottle in Abbotsford. Limiting the number of slot machines now makes little practical sense. —The Abbotsford News

Christmas event’s success a team effort Editor: I would like to put out a special thank you to all the friends, family and businesses that made the Cannons’ Christmas event such a success. For the second year in a row Buy Low Foods and Cedarbrook Bakery and Deli provided buns, hotdogs and hot chocolate. It is because of their generosity that we are able to serve these items to the community that comes to take part in our event. We also had many of our local businesses donate for a silent auction, which is what helped us to triple our total from last year. Key Lime Design donated a tent which was up for all of December. Thank you for that, because we never had to worry about weather. I am so grateful to all who made this possible for us. This is definitely not something that can be done with out the support of those around you. Our total this year was $1,718.70 (for Cops for Cancer). We look forward to beating this total next year. Happy New Year to all and warm wishes from our family to yours. Pam Cannon Langley

StatsCan finds fault in formuladriven raises Editor: Re: “Richter calls for review,” (The Times, Jan. 24). Perhaps everyone should take a look at comments from StatsCan regarding the pay hikes of the Calgary city council. The Calgary Herald of Jan. 25 states that “StatsCan says formula faulty for determining council pay hikes.” It seems unethical that councils should determine their own salaries when the electorate actually pays their way to the trough through taxation. I wonder how many other employees in the general workforce dictate their own salaries? I hope you’ll stay on top of this and provide readers with some good information about how council pay rates are determined. Laura Addinall, Langley The

Tough choices are just that; very difficult decisions to make for the long term betterment of the school system. A tough choice was just made; a choice to achieve a fresh start; we thank the board for listening. Many people didn’t like Cheryle Beaumont’s results while some did; regardless, the community would never

have healed until there was a fresh start. We voters, not some union, voted for a fresh start and democracy seems to be 86 per cent working. It’s a shame that clearly Trustee Alison McVeigh feels “she alone” is above the rules and democracy, that only her tough choices are correct, and still wishes to continue her old fights. This “Joan of Arc” attitude continues to show the very lack of accountability to voters, which needed to be changed. Ironically, McVeigh’s democratic disrespect in disclosing confidential information shows the very reason a fresh start was needed. I believe all voters know that

Public hearing extension appreciated Editor: I wish to publicly thank Councillor Kim Richter for her motion at the Jan. 16 Township council meeting to extend public hearings to Jan. 23. The hearings were about removing properties from the ALR and rezoning them for development. On Jan. 16, we experienced one of our worst snow storms of the season, which made it difficult for citizens to attend and voice their opinions, for or against. A packed presentation theatre at the additional Jan. 23 hearings proved the value of Richter’s motion. My thanks also to Councillor Michelle Sparrow for seconding the motion, and to Councillors Dave Davis, Bev Dornan and Steve Kim Ferguson for voting in support. As Richter a result, at the second hearing, we heard more excellent and varied presentations. With a 5 to 4 vote, we almost lost the hearing extension. Why did Mayor Jack Froese and Councillors Charlie Fox, Bob Long and Grant Ward vote to stick to the schedule, when our worst storm of the season obviously impeded fair public input? I’m certain those who attended would appreciate answers. Larri Woodrow, Langley

changing or improving things costs money. Let’s move forward and support this tough choice intended to improve things. We are there now, at a fresh start. We have a good intelligent board majority willing to listen to the families, teachers and voters alike. I hope we, the voters, who continue to support the board can thank the them for listening. It is refreshing. In short, the board just listened to the voters. Listening itself is also symbolic of the fresh start. Mike MacDonald, Langley

Trustee Ross’s comments were not out of order Editor: At Tuesday’s school board meeting the trustees were given the superintendent’s report on student achievement. Over the last six years, the district has shown quite a significant improvement in several areas, including Grade 1 literacy and, most notably, graduation rates, which are at an all-time high. Many people have asserted that Cheryle Beaumont, as superintendent, was responsible for everything that happened in the district during her tenure. If so, then these achievements are a direct result of Beaumont’s leadership and priorities. When Trustee Rod Ross quite rightly attempted to give credit for the district’s improvement to Beaumont,

the board chair ruled him out of order. I am curious on what grounds the chair made this ruling. According to Robert’s Rules of Order, “out of order” is defined as “discussions, motions or interjections which are contrary to parliamentary procedure, fact, recognition, administrative procedure, or good taste.” Trustee Ross violated none of these things. He was simply commenting on a report which was before the board and he was completely within his rights to do so. The chair of a meeting cannot rule a member out of order simply because she or he doesn’t like what the member is saying. G. McMann, Langley City

Solstice worth celebrating Editor: I read and appreciated Paul St. Pierre’s note (The Times, Dec. 29). Personally, I celebrate the annual solstice, rather than Christmas. For a number of years now, I have made it my custom to re-read the book 4,000 Years of Christmas by Earl W. Count and Alice Lawson Count. I still discover new information in this small book each time I read it. Inta Schorcht, Walnut Grove

Blues night at D.W. Poppy Annual high school musical fundraiser happens Saturday, Feb. 4 NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

February Blues, an evening of music, coffee and dessert that has become one of the highlights of D.W. Poppy Secondary School’s calendar, will take place this Saturday, Feb. 4. An annual fundraiser for the school’s highly successful music program, February Blues is an evening of blues and jazz performed by Poppy’s different music ensembles. In addition to band and choir performances, there will also be a silent auction and balloon prizes. “This fundraiser benefits the entire music program at Poppy, helping with the cost of such things as sheet music, clinicians, instrument repairs and replacement,” said Matt Goddard, one of the music directors at the school. This year’s event, he assured, “is bigger and better than ever.” Music begins at 6:30 p.m. with a performance by the Fort Langley Jazz Band (the elementary school is a Poppy feeder school), followed by concert bands, the Grass Roots Jazz Bands, Jazz Express, Midnight Blue Jazz

and a very unique opportunity for the students to get some insight on what being a professional recording musician is like,” Goddard said. “We would like to continue with this project to give our students at Poppy an unrivaled high school music education,” he said. The event is a huge attraction not only to the school community, but the residents who like blues and jazz and don’t to travel to Vancouver to enjoy it. “Every year we put on a great evening of entertainment for hundreds of people in the community who have a love for jazz and are looking for a fun night out,” Goddard said.

Eighty seven years of memories to share from PAGE 1

Hugh has many fascinating memories and family tales, and living for 87 years has not diminished any of them; his mind and wit are clear and sharp and he recalls intimate stories from years ago with amazing clarity and detail. There was the time the Mufford boys took the car out (when they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have permission), for example. This was at a time when there was only one other motorized vehicle in Langley â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the police car, Hugh noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So they took it out and managed to hit the one other car around â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the police car,â&#x20AC;? he remembered with a laugh. Hugh noted that there wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even be a Milner Chapel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the heritage church founded by his grandfather â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if his grandparents hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t married. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My great-grandmother wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let my grandma come here unless there was a church to worship at,â&#x20AC;? he said. So Hughâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandfather rode around on horseback to raise money from the farmers in the area to build Milner Chapel, a church that still stands (but was recently moved to its current location on 216 Street and completely refurbished). Hugh remembers urging his Dad to get a tractor (instead of still using horses) a few years back, and also recalled the rationing and blackout blinds during the Second World War. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was called in the last days of Second World War, but then it was over,â&#x20AC;? Hugh said, of how close he came to serving in that historical event. He remembers seeing Austin Cotterell Taylor, who owned the land that is now known as the Wall farm (part of it borders on part of the Davis farm) driving around in a big Lincoln â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or two, or three. For someone whose first car was a Model A Ford, Hugh remembers watching those shiny, beautiful Lincolns with envious eyes. Taylor was one of the provinceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealthiest people. In the 1930s, he was an owner of the Bralorne gold mine and raised race horses at the Langley farm

Tricia LESLIE/Langley Times

Longtime Langley farmer Hugh Davis, now retired, admits it concerns him to see arable land taken out of the ALR. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the most powerful stable in Western Canada during the 1930s, according to the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame. Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s horse, Indian Broom, placed third in the Kentucky Derby in 1936 and other stars such as Special Agent and Whichcee won their fair share of races. Whichcee came in third in the 1940 Santa Anita Handicap behind first-place Seabiscuit, a well-known racing horse of the era. The Wall family, well-known because of Peter Wall and his real estate developments in and around Vancouver, bought the Taylor property in 1966. Taylor died at the end of 1965. There have been many rumours over the years that Dan Blocker of the Bonanza TV series may have once been interested in that property, but neither Hugh nor Nicole could confirm that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He may have come and looked at (the property),â&#x20AC;? Nicole conceded. Hugh said the Walls lived on the farm when they first bought it in 1966, but as the children grew older, they seemed to use it more as a weekend retreat. Currently, there is a proposal before council to rezone a 13.5-

acre portion of the property known as the Wall farm, in order to allow a 67-lot residential subdivision that will also allow 21 coach or carriage homes, which are intended to offer affordable housing to Trinity Western University students. At public hearings on Jan. 16 and Jan. 23, many local residents spoke against the proposal. Citing traffic and environmental concerns and the dangers of developing more Agricultural Land Reserve land (rather than saving ALR land for farming), several Township residents argued against the rezoning and development. With such memories of the area, Hugh and Nicole donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want to lose a piece of local heritage and history to new development. Hugh candidly admits he would love to see the Davis farm stay in his family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole urban-rural conflict just concerns me,â&#x20AC;? Hugh said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice piece of property. It would be a shame to take (parts of it) out of the ALR.â&#x20AC;? Nicole agreed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The line has been drawn, and we need to respect that line,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to think about future generations. People are realizing we need to be able to sustain ourselves.â&#x20AC;? Hugh, in the meantime, helps his family and neighbours hearken back to a quieter, slower and perhaps, gentler time, simply by sharing his memories. Such as the time he was listening to a sermon at Milner Chapel, when his father served as the churchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treasurer. Hugh remembers one Sunday when the preacher â&#x20AC;&#x153;made a funny faceâ&#x20AC;? all of a sudden â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but his Dad noticed the partially open church window and the pea shooter held (and aimed) by a neighbour boy from outside. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Dad told him to get lost and go home,â&#x20AC;? Hugh recalls with a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I talked to the fellow who shot the pea shooter on his 101st birthday ... he had a big smile when I reminded him. He remembered.â&#x20AC;?

Teachers’ union tables $300 million contract offer

eachers in parts of B.C. wore black on Friday to mark the 10th anniversary of legislation that their union insists “stripped” their “right” to control staffing levels in public schools. This crucial management tool was abruptly taken back in 2002 by the B.C. Liberal government’s huge majority. Too abruptly, according to a B.C. Supreme Court judge last year. The court decision stemmed from a landmark Supreme Court of Canada ruling that led to $80 million in compensation for contract-breaking in the B.C. health care support sector at around the same time. In the B.C. Teachers’ Federation case, the judge gave the provincial government a year to consult and come up with a replacement to the offending legislation, which will then cease to be in effect. That year is running out, with no more progress being made than the talks to replace the BCTF’s expired union contract. The pattern of all this is drearily familiar. The B.C. government has already tabled legislation to wrest control of teacher discipline away from the union, after an outside expert found that a convicted drug dealer and a sex offender had managed to get their teaching credentials restored.

Sex trafficking doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen only in big cities or Third World countries, it happens right here in Langley, says Tara Teng, Miss Canada 2011 and a sex trafficking abolitionist. It is this message that she wants to spread to as many people as possible through workshops such as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wake Up: A Night Against Exploitationâ&#x20AC;? event held on Jan. 19 at Township Hall. Teng, along with Todd Hauptman and Langley Youth Unlimited, hosted the event, which included a screening of the documentary Enslaved and Exploited: The Story of Sex Trafficking in Canada and a panel discussion with both Langley mayors, social workers and a police officer. The issue of sexual exploitation is often overlooked and hushed away, the Trinity Western University grad says, and the key to ending it is through education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Eduation is really the biggest thing because a lot of people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. How do you move forward? We need action. Everyone knows that talk is cheap. We want action and to get that we need awareness first. That is the most powerful thing,â&#x20AC;? she said. With Langley RCMP Superintendent Derek Cooke, members of both Langley councils, board of education members and members of the general public in the audience, Teng believes Langley is one of the leading communities supporting the abolition of illegal sex trafficking. After a suggestion from an audience member, she and other communitiy groups are now hoping to establish a task force within Langley to bring this issue to the forefront and take action against it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to break the silence, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to talk about it and have action,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am encouraged because Langley is stepping up, they are doing that and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just Todd and myself and that is really,

The of love

Surrey Little Theatre’s latest romantic comedy, Looking, examines the rewards and pitfalls of ‘this relationship thing’ SHEILA REYNOLDS Black Press

n any given day, it’s said, there is a Norm Foster play being staged somewhere in

the world. Surrey theatre veteran Rita Price doesn’t doubt it. And she knows exactly why. “He takes regular people and puts them in regular situations. Not unlike Seinfeld,” she says, referencing the hit ‘90s TV comedy that was famous for being a show about nothing. Really, it was a sitcom about average people – albeit quirky – going about their daily lives. Foster’s scripts are much the same, with characters almost everyone can relate to on some level. For example, in the play Looking, which Price is currently directing at Surrey Little Theatre, the characters include a nurse, a broadcaster, a fellow who sells storage space and a police woman. “You probably, in your lifetime, have known people who have done these sorts of jobs,” says

Price. Indeed, Foster is the mostproduced playwright in the country, and has been for at least two decades. His works include Ethan Claymore, The Melville Boys, Here On The Flight Path, The Love List, and many, many more. And while each is unique, they are always peppered with a seemingly perfect balance of laughs and tender moments. Again, not unlike real life, Price notes. “In our lives, not everything is funny, we do have our serious moments, and vice versa, not everything is serious, we do have our funny moments.” Looking tells the story of four single, middle-aged people who are seeking relationships. There is Val (played by Fort Langley’s Kim Monsanto, returning to the stage after a 20-year hiatus), an operating room nurse and divorcée who hasn’t dated in six years; her best friend police officer Nina (played by Abbotsford’s Patricia Braun, last seen in SLT’s Murder of Crows); salesman Andy (played Abbotsford’s Pat McDermott, most recently in SLT’s Cactus Flower);

for an elaborate stage or period costumes – perfect for small community theatre groups with limited space and meagre funding. But it’s the quick wit of Looking that Price promises will entertain. “You have to have a good pace. It’s almost like there’s one joke and by the time you’re registering it, there’s another one. “The audience isn’t going to fall asleep on this one.” Surrey Little Theatre presents Looking from Jan. 26 to Feb. 18 at 7027 184 St. Evening shows are Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. Sunday matinées on Feb. 5 and 12.

hat if your credit card fell into the wrong hands? What if, instead of taking it on a wild spending spree, the thief bought a mailorder bride and she showed up at your house? The hapless Dan Foster is about to find out what “unlucky in love” means in Bride on Credit, a new romantic comedy that runs Jan. 31 to Feb. 4 at Trinity Western University. Dan has a great career and no love life. If he could just work up the courage to tell his best friend he loves her, things might be different. But then his credit card is stolen on a blind date gone wrong, and suddenly a mail-order bride shows up on his doorstep thinking he was the one who ordered her. It’s hard enough explaining things to a starry-eyed “bride” who speaks no English; but matters are complicated by his sister (the pill-popping actress) and his pal Tony (the wisecracking ladykiller). Unless, of course, this shy girl from abroad is actually the soulmate he’s been waiting for. The comedy, written by Cara Lowdermilk, is the second play from the fifth year TWU student to be staged at the university, following an earlier production of August in the Spring. Bride on Credit was commissioned by the university, but the story sprang from the playwright’s own life experiences. Well, sort of. “My debit card was compromised four times in a month,” Lowdermilk said. Even though she never lost any money as a result, the experience got her

The challenge she said is figuring out what happens next to move the story along, while coming up with interesting and dynamic characters. “There are stories people have told me where I’ve thought, ‘That’s funny, but it would have been better if this had happened.” When Lowdermilk transferred to TWU from the University of Victoria her plan was to become a director. But thanks to the move, her course schedule was a mess and she was encouraged to take a playwriting class. She quickly fell in love with the experience of bringing characters to life on the page and then watching them take form on the stage. “Being able to see something you’ve created, and watching an actor take (a script) and (interpret) it . . . it’s the one thing in theatre that’s all yours.” Lowdermilk began working on the script during her summer vacation and sending drafts to her instructor, SAMC Theatre Chair Angela Konrad.

In her notes, the teacher observed that the character Louise is very similar to Lowdermilk and asked whether the young scribe had any desire to play the role. After a bit of convincing, the writer agreed to play the part. “We’re delighted to premiere this exciting new work,” said Konrad, who pulled together an ensemble of senior students to collaboratively design and produce the show, including Shayna Lorraine Jones who tore up the stage as Friar Laurence in last semester’s Romeo + Juliet. “Dan is a lovable geek, and as his best friend it’s my job to tell him when he’s being an idiot … but also support him through the love disaster of his life,” says Shayna, who recently accepted a position with the Greater Vancouver Professional Theatre Alliance while finishing up the last of her Theatre courses. “I love the play. I’m so proud of Cara, the queen of comedy. It’s been a treat coming together with this team to conceptualize and build every aspect of the production from the ground up.” Shayna stars alongside Lyndon Johnson as Dan and Sarah Ruth as “bride on credit” Georgette, with Shayne Findlay, Karyn Guenther, and Lowdermilk. Stage managed by Eleanor Felton, Ian Hengeveld, and Jessica Van Elk.

Grab a chair or grab a mic Public is invited to join in weekly jam or just sit and enjoy the music KURT LANGMANN Black Press

Roger Potter has built up a loyal following with his “acoustic open mike sessions” over the past 15 years in the Fraser Valley. On Jan. 12, Potter began bringing the sessions to Aldergrove’s Bob’s Bar & Grill, 27083 Fraser Highway, every Thursday, starting at 7 p.m. “It’s less intimidating for some people than a full electric band situation like at the blues and classic rock jam sessions,” says Potter. “Some players are more comfortable if they’re in control and play it just the way they like it, as opposed to the different ways a band might play a song.” Potter has been a professional musician for almost 30 years, starting in Nova Scotia and Ontario, where he fronted bands such as his Neil Young tribute act “Live Rust” and a duo with his former wife called “Take Two.” In 1996 he came to B.C., settling in

Roger Potter (centre) sits atop a drum as he accompanies guests at his weekly acoustic open mic session in Aldergrove. Abbotsford, and he discovered a niche market for his one-man act, hosting acoustic open mike sessions at bars and restaurants. He still takes his Live Rust act on the road regularly, but the open mic sessions have grown to become the biggest part of his music career. “For a while when I started out here in B.C. I was working a day job five days a week and playing six nights a week and getting about four hours sleep each night,” said Potter.

“I’ve been able to build it up and make a living strictly as a musician these days. It’s not a fortune but it’s a steady income and I’m very grateful to be able to do that.” Currently, he hosts the open mike sessions on Sundays in Abbotsford, Wednesdays at the Dewdney Inn and now Thursdays at Bob’s steakhouse. He also performs with his band on weekends at various venues such as casinos. He’s developed a following of players and singers who turn up to take centre stage at the open mike sessions, performing everything from folk and country to classic rock. Everyone gets to play and/or sing at least a couple of songs each night, whether they are amateurs doing a Karaoke-style version of “Me and Bobby McGee” or gifted players putting their distinctive stamp on a familiar old Beatles song. Potter plays guitar, bass, mouth harp and drums, and will switch around to whatever instrument is needed for any song chosen by guest performers. “Come for dinner, stay for the music,” says Potter. “Join in or simply enjoy some great local entertainment.” Potter is sponsored by Long & McQuade and Darkwood Drums (www.darkwooddrums.com).

Trust these local experts for everything you need to re-create your beautiful ‘NEW’ home!

Do you have good drainage around your home? Having an efÀcient drainage system around a home is essential and can help homeowners avoid huge problems down the road. Damage caused by water can be expensive to repair, so it’s worth spending a few dollars now to make sure everything is in order. Symptoms of drainage system problems might look like sweating around cracks in the concrete foundation slab, a constantly high level of humidity in the basement, the presence of water around the base of the foundations,

white powdery residue at the base of the concrete walls, water inÀltrations during spring thaw, a sump pit that overÁows as soon as it rains, or a sump pump that operates virtually non-stop. Before starting any type of repair work it is important to determine the cause of the problem. The Àrst thing to check is if your land slopes towards the house or towards your property lines. Then ensure that the gutters are not connected directly to the drains, which may not be able to cope with excessive

amounts of water in some circumstances. If you still have not found the root cause of the problem, it is recommended that you carry out further veriÀcations with the help of a contractor. An expert can help you avoid the unnecessary replacement of a drainage system by inspecting underground pipes with cameras, for example. That kind of technology can lead to a quick diagnosis of any hidden problems.

Special night for Sutliffe Langley Rivermen forward nets four goals, three assists in 13-2 rout of visiting Victoria Grizzlies Times Sports

Judging by the results of Saturday night, Derek Sutliffe might have to bring his dad to town for more games. With his dad in the stands at the Langley Events Centre, Sutliffe had a night to remember, scoring four goals and adding three assists as the Rivermen routed the visiting Victoria Grizzlies 13-2 “It is a phenomenal feeling and one that I won’t forgot for a while,” Sutliffe said on Monday. “And I was pretty excited that my dad was able to see it, it was a great feeling.” Sutliffe combined with line mates Darnell Dyck (one goal, four assists) and Mike Tebbutt (two goals, three assists) for 17 points. Mario Puskarich (three goals, one assist) and Evan Campbell (one goal, three assists) also had big games. Sutliffe’s seven points were still five off the BCHL record shared by Ken Stroud and Joe Murphy, who each had a dozen points for Merritt (1977) and Penticton (1985), respectively. Heading into the game, Sutliffe said he had no special feeling he was on the verge of something big. “I prepared myself like any other game,” he said. “I was excited that my dad was in town, so maybe that was it, but I am not sure.” “Our line was just clicking and everything was going our way,” he added. “It was a lot of fun.” Even more impressive about the trio’s dominance was the fact that it came in a relatively short span in the game’s middle as they scored

seven times in 26:48. “As soon as I had two goals, I was thinking it would be really awesome if I could get my first career BCHL hat trick,” Sutliffe said.“But I didn’t want to think about it too much and have it play mind games with me. “I was just going with the flow and luckily I got it.” On two of the three goals, Sutliffe took feeds directly from Dyck, once on a onetimer and the other across the crease for a tap-in. The second goal was another back-door tap-in, this time from Tebbutt. And the fourth goal came on a penalty shot when Sutliffe did a pump fake, faked the forehand, did a leg kick and buried the backhander. Sutliffe said he can’t recall ever having a game as productive as this. The 19-year-old from Las Vegas is in his first season in the BCHL. “It is a great league, a fast league,” he said.“I couldn’t ask for anything more.” “Derek has been, I would say, one of our most consistent players from day one,” said coach Steve O’Rourke. “He has had very few off nights over the year.” O’Rourke said Sutliffe utilized great speed to pressure the opponent. The challenge for the 19-year-old is to build on this success. “He came up here with a real defensive mindset and is a really good defensive player,” O’Rourke added. “He just has to continue to believe that he is a pointproducing guy. ‘I think a night like

The four points helped the Rivermen pull out of the Coastal Conference basement as they improved

Spartans rally past Cascades Fourth win in five games for hard-charging Trinity Western

John MORROW/Black Press

Trinity Western’s Tiffany Olsen (right) clamps down on Fraser Valley’s Nicole Wierks during Canada West women’s basketball at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre on Saturday.The visiting Spartans won for the fourth time in their past five games to pull within two games of second place Fraser Valley.

SLOTS GREAT FOOD & FUN!

Second place is within striking distance thanks to a big come-from-behind victory for the Trinity Western Spartans. The women’s basketball team defeated the 10th-ranked Fraser Valley Cascades 71-59 on Saturday night at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. “UFV is a great team and they have been getting big wins against great teams so this win is huge for us,” said Spartans coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. “Our focus on defence is our strength and we were prepared to play today. “I’ve been hoping for this game for a long time as a head coach. “This game showed teams that they have to stop how we play rather than just individual athletes.” The win puts the Spartans at 8-7 in the Canada West Pacific Division standings, while the Cascades fell

to 10-5. Trinity Western has also won four of their past five games, with the lone loss being a 13-point defeat to the country’s top team, the unbeaten Regina Cougars. And in that game, the Spartans led by two at the half. Against Fraser Valley, the Spartans struggled in the first half, shooting just 31.6 per cent while the Cascades hit 50 per cent of their shots. Despite that, Trinity Western only trailed by two points. And in the second half, the visitors took over, building a lead they would not relinquish. “It has been a work in progress and if you look at the fourth quarters, we have been in we have worked hard to defend in the fourth quarter,” Jean-Paul said. “We have slowly, but surely, gotten better. We just needed a breakthrough game and tonight was that game.”

The second half shooting stats were a complete reversal of the first 20 minutes, as this time Trinity Western was good on 55.6 per cent and the Cascades struggled at 27.6 per cent. The trio of Laurelle Weigl (18 points), Emily Knauff (16 points) and Tiffany Olsen (11 points) paced the offence. Weigl also grabbed 10 rebounds. The Spartans close the regular season with three home games, including a pair this weekend against 5-9 Thompson Rivers at the Langley Events Centre. ••••• A poor first quarter was too much to overcome as the Trinity Western Spartans win streak came to an end at six games. The men’s basketball team — which could have pulled even in a tie for third place in the Canada West Pacific Division standings — fell 88-72 to the host Fraser Valley Cascades at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre on

The Spartans trailed by a dozen points, 19-7, after the opening 10 minutes, and never got closer than seven points. “Fraser Valley is a good defensive team and they took us out of our rhythm on offence,” said Spartans coach Scott Allen. “We have been playing some weaker teams and have been able to get away with poor execution, but we know it is something that we have to work on and get cleaned up.” Trinity Western outscored Fraser Valley 45-42 over the second and third quarters, but the deficit was too much to overcome. Another big difference in the game was freethrow shooting as the Cascades scored 32 points — on 37 attempts — compared to Trinity Western’s seven points on 13 free-throws. Calving Westbrook led the Spartans with 21 points while Tristan Smith had a dozen points and six assists. They were the only two in double figures for Trinity Western compared to five players for Fraser Valley who had at least 10 points. The loss dropped the Spartans to 8-7 and fourth in the Pacific Division, two games back of the last playoff spot. The team closes the Canada West regular season with a three-game home stand, beginning this weekend with a pair of home games against the 5-9 Thompson Rivers WolfPack.

Records fall, huge medal haul Olympians shine at Dolphins meet The records were falling for members of the Langley Olympians Swim Club. The local club was competing at a meet at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre hosted by the Canadian Dolphins Swim Club. Hillary Metcalfe, 13, set both a new club record and meet record for her age group in the 400 free event, which she completed in 4:30.60. She also set a meet record in the 400 IM and won seven gold medals. Another 13-year-old, Justin Schramm, broke the club and meet record in the 200 fly, finishing the race in 2:14.30. He finished the meet with six gold and a bronze. Martha Metcalfe, 15, and

Robyn Nakano, 12, both set meet records in the 400 IM (5:08.42) and the 200 back (2:30.72). Metcalfe won four gold and three silvers while Nakano won five gold and two silver. Medal winners from the meet were: Siobhan Board won three gold, three silver and a bronze medal. Chelsea Borrowdale won four gold and two silver. Lisa Grier won four gold. Michael MacDonald won three gold and three silver. Mackenzie Dong won a silver and two bronze. Kennedy Douglas won two silver and a bronze. Jenessa HIllman won a silver. Ryan Moloney won two silver. Gabby Slalkai won a silver and a bronze. Ellen Lansing, 10, was able to achieve her B.C. AA provincial qualifying time in the 200 breast

event and 12-year-old Erin Moloney was able to achieve personal bests in all of her events. ••••• The Delta Ice Hawks soared to a 5-1 victory over the Aldergrove Kodiaks in junior B PIJHL hockey action at the Aldergrove Arena on Wednesay. Ryan Veillet had the lone goal for the Kodiaks, but it did not come until there was 6:35 remaining and Delta already had a 4-0 lead. Delta outshot Aldergrove 54-39. The loss drops Aldergrove to 23-9-1-1 as they hold a slim twopoint lead over the Abbotsford Pilots for top spot in the Harold Brittain Conference. The Kodiaks will look to return to the win column on Feb. 1 when they host the North Delta Devils.

OBITUARIES

COPLEY, Donald Leroy April 28, 1919 January 23, 2012 Dad was born in Tynehead, Surrey, B.C. to Charles and Jean Copley. He was 92 years old when he passed away at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm, BC with family at his side. He was predeceased by his loving wife of 62 years, Donalda; his parents; two sisters and their spouses Mildred bcclassified.com (Chuck) Wallis and Elaine (Rod) McCaskill; four brothers and their spouses Stanley (Elsie), Clarence (Annie), Geordie (Georgena) and Sam (Betty); son-in-law Bob Perdue; and brothers in law - Allen Walker, Tom Campbell and Bob Deane.

They married and lived in Surrey where he worked as a carpenter, they moved to Langley in 1960 and retired to White Lake in 1972.
