The fire engines that led off Saturday morning’s Community Day Parade were still quite a ways off, and Jacob Penner, three, made sure he was prepared for their arrival by protecting his ears from the wail of their sirens.

Mother Nature was a real wet blanket this weekend, especially for organizers of Community Day. Saturday’s event drew fewer then expected to downtown Langley, and weather better suited for October than June was the main culprit. Mists of rain and cool temperatures greeted people who lined both sides of the one-way section of Fraser Highway to take in the morning parade that included floats, riders, sports groups, businesses, heritage vehicles, and marching bands. After the parade, festivities were held at Douglas Park with music, live entertainment, the firefighter challenges, food provided by various community organizations and agencies, prizes, information booths and kids activities.

Five-year-old Lachlan Shale was soaked to the skin thanks to Saturday morning’s downpour, but didn’t seem to mind as he had a hopping good time taking part in a children’s sack race at Douglas Park.

A Langley teen who went missing a week ago posted an apology on YouTube this week for causing a massive six-day search. Amanda (Mandy) McPhee, 16, vanished from her home in the 4200 block of 208th Street late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, June 11 or 12. On Friday, she was found when police received a tip that she had been seen at the downtown Langley City bus loop. She was found at 5:15 p.m., just an hour after a press conference to announce that homicide investigators were joining the search. “It’s unbelievable what she did. It was obviously terrible in many ways, but I’m just so glad she came back I’m not even concerned about that stuff,” her father Mike McPhee said Friday. Mandy McPhee posted an online apology over the weekend. “Last Sunday morning I ran away,” said the Grade 11 student at Langley Christian School. She said she spent the six days away walking and taking transit around Vancouver, hiking up Mt. Seymour and spending her nights in the forest. On Friday she came back to Langley on a bus and saw her picture plastered everywhere. Volunteers had distributed thousands of missing person’s photos over the previous several days. “I can’t even express how sorry I am,” McPhee said.

Eighty years together in Langley Serendipity and cooperation came together to create Langley’s community newspaper 80 years ago.

Starting in the depth of the Great Depression, the Langley Advance had its beginning in Langley Prairie (now Langley City) as a cooperative effort with the community and the Langley Board of Trade (now the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce).

by Bob Groeneveld editor@langleyadvance.com

When a stone quarry accident in Winnipeg forced Ernest John Cox to look for a new line of work, it set in motion a series of events that led him eventually to Langley, and the establishment of the Langley Advance. Even when E.J. Cox left Estevan, Saskatchewan, in the depth of the “Dirty Thirties” depression, it was Abbotsford that he was headed for, to become a partner in an established newspaper there. By the time he got to the Fraser Valley, another opportunity had arisen: the Langley Board of Trade, itself a fledgling organization, wanted a newspaper rooted in Langley Prairie. According to E.J.’s son Fred, in an Advance article written 50 years later, the Board of Trade (now the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce) was “skeptical about a paper printed outside of the area and brought in for distribution.” There had been previous attempts to provide the community with news and advertising coverage that way. Most of the community had for decades relied on The Columbian, serving much of the Fraser Valley and the Lower Mainland from New Westminster. Three attempts to create a newspaper closer to home had resulted in customers losing

business community did its part, ensuring a reasonable – but by no means opulent – flow of financial support for the new business in town. The community, too, responded favourably, albeit a bit hesitantly at first. The three previous attempts to establish local papers weighed heavily on the minds of people whose pocketbooks were already assaulted by the economic depression, and few of those cash-poor folks were eager to invest a full year’s subscription rate into this fourth attempt – and maybe lose it all one more time. And unlike today, newspapers then relied far more heavily on paper sales. But the barter system, already in full use during a depression economy, stood the new family business in good stead. As Fred later noted, the big questions were, “How many months’ subscription for a sack of cabbage or turnips or potatoes? How many issues for a chicken? For fresh butter, homemade bread, a load of wood?” Somehow it worked, Fred recounted: “The family ate well, and there was enough cash to buy supplies and ink.” It was a community solution for what was truly a community newspaper – one that has maintained those close ties with its community throughout the ensuing 80 years.

Wild night in Van; quiet night at LEC Some Langley residents were in Vancouver, and surrounded by rioters Wednesday night. by Matthew Claxton and Troy Landreville news@langleyadvance.com

While Vancouver’s downtown was going up in flames and covered with a haze of tear gas June 15, fans at the Langley Events Centre (LEC) went home quietly. However, some Langley residents who had gone to Vancouver found themselves in the middle of a riot. “I thought it was a shameful display from some idiots who ruined such a fun night with their senseless destruction,” Katherine Hall, a Langley teenager, told the Langley Advance by email. The 18-year-old went downtown with her 21-yearold brother Matt. “Those few people destroyed the reputation of such a wonderful city

over a hockey game. Anyone who rioted or stuck around to watch and cheer should be ashamed of being a part of such a horrid display of anger,” she wrote. Hall’s parents are both exMounties, and a friend works for the VPD. Hall said she has since heard her friend went to the hospital with stitches after a rioter threw a brick at his head.

Bruins dominate ’Nucks

Over at the LEC, most of the Canucks’ fans were in a dour mood. Disappointment reigned as the Bruins skated to a 4-0 win over the Canucks in game seven of the Stanley Cup Final series at Rogers Arena. Most of the locals watched with quiet resignation as time ticked down towards the Bruins’ Stanley Cup victory, their first since the Bobby Orr/Phil Esposito era of 1972. Knowing his favourite team’s fate was sealed, one young Vancouver

fan stomped up the LEC’s concrete stairs, pulled off his foam “puck hat” and threw it down in frustration. The Canucks and their fans, looking to win a cup for the first time in their 41-year history, can take solace in the fact they won the Presidents’ Trophy as the top regular season team in the NHL. The Canucks then advanced to the Cup final for the first time since 1994, when they lost in seven games to the New York Rangers. However, this year’s loss is a bitter one, especially after the Canucks dispatched their arch-nemesis Chicago Blackhawks in seven games in the opening round of the post-season. The Canucks went on to defeat the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks to earn their ticket to the final, and a chance to make history. But the Bruins dominated the Canucks after losing the first two games of the championship series. Overall, the B’s blitzed the Canucks, out-scoring the ’Nucks 238 over the seven games.

Fort Langley

IGA plans to be unveiled Rising from the ashes, the Fort Langley IGA’s new plans will be on display this week. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

After a fire that gutted the commercial heart of Fort Langley, plans for a new IGA will be officially unveiled this Thursday. A public open house will be held at the Fort Langley Community Hall from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Thursday, June 23, to show off the new designs. The rebuilt IGA will be different from the aging and much-renovated building that burned down in early January. Owner Robert Lee said the plan was to create a new building that fits with the heritage character of the Fort, and to make it pedestrian oriented. “That’s what Fort Langley’s all about,” he said. The proposed new store will have a series of large windows opening onto Mavis Avenue, an expanded seating area for the deli, and on the south side, large garage-

style glass doors will be opened into the produce section. “It won’t be that much bigger,” Lee said. He is hoping for a good turnout at this week’s open house. “We want feedback from the people,” he said. The Lee family has been trying to involve the public as much as possible since it announced in February that it would rebuild on the site. The plans will also be available for viewing online at www.fortiga.ca the same day as the open house. Lee said he is quite pleased with the new design. “I think it’s fabulous,” he said. He isn’t sure yet when the plan will be offered for the approval of Langley Township council. The destruction of the IGA left Fort Langley without a grocery store for the first time in more than half a century. The fire was apparently started when someone tried to break into the building by cutting through steel bars on one window, using a saw or cutting torch. The sparks ignited a fire that reduced the building to a pile of rubble.

Langley teen apologizes She thanked the many people and agencies who were looking for her, from friends and family to police and Search and Rescue. “I will never be able to repay everyone,” she said. She didn’t get into the reasons why she ran away, but alluded to being unable to run away from her problems. “All I ended up doing was running away from everything that I love and cared about and leaving it behind. It was stupid,” she said. She said she hoped to give back to the community in the future. Police haven’t completely closed their file on the case yet. “We’re still investigating to find out where she was,” said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP. They want to confirm she was, in fact, camping at the time of her disappearance. But police don’t believe she was a victim of any criminal act, Marks said. Shona Durrant was one of the many people in the community happy to hear that Mandy had been found safe.

“Just absolute relief,” said Durrant, the mother of a boy at Langley Christian. She knew the McPhees through skiing trips, and volunteered as one of the key organizers of local searches. On Friday, Durrant and a group of volunteers spent hours pushing their way through thick brush north of the McLeod Athletic Park. “We were off the beaten track,” she said. The area was almost impassible. Durrant had already put out a call to volunteers for two weekend searches on Saturday and Sunday, when the news came in about Mandy. She was relieved to be able to call her fellow search leaders to confirm that everyone had heard the good news. Mandy’s disappearance had prompted the RCMP to consider her a “high risk missing” case, and call in the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team by Friday. IHIT sometimes works on missing person cases because they have a pool of seasoned investigators. Sgt. Peter Thiessen said about 30 officers were working on the case at the time.

While a break from school is great for recharging your children’s batteries, if students aren’t using the skills they acquired in the classroom, they could ﬁnd themselves lagging behind once the school bell rings again. Sylvan offers recommendations to inspire academic discovery when away from the classroom.

On Saturday, June 11, a Langley Advance reporter rode along with RCMP Const. Braden Bloomquist for a single 11-hour night shift in Aldergrove. Parts one and two of General Duty appeared in the June 14 and 16 editions of the Advance. Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance During the first few hours of the Police spoke to potential witnesses after a fight shift, Bloomquist and his fellow officers dealt with everything from a outside an Aldergrove pub on June 11. runaway child to animal abuse complaints to suspected gunshots.

12:06 a.m. “I don’t even want to look at the calls waiting,” Bloomquist said. “It’s definitely a busy night.” On a busy shift, a single generaly duty officer might work 10 to 12 files. Every file needs a report, whether two or three paragraphs, or a long account of hundreds or thousands of words. Sometimes there’s no way to get everything done in one shift, and officers have to hunker down at their desks at the detachment and catch up on their paperwork later. “There are some nights where you don’t get to eat,” Bloomquist said. 1:18 a.m. Following Const. L.A. Cruz to another file, Bloomquist rounds a corner at 32nd Avenue and 270th Street, and their headlights illuminate a teenaged boy and girl. The boy is carrying a stop sign. That’s not normal, even for a busy night. The officers chew out the teens, and call their parents. Bloomquist notes that they seem to be taken aback by that – it’s a good sign that their parents will take the incident seriously. Then the boy goes back to the corner of 32A Avenue and searches in the grass for the bolts, then reinstalls the sign while the officers watch. During the stop sign incident, someone in the nearby Philip Jackman Park is setting off bottle rockets. Fireworks have been going off all over town, resulting in yet more shots fired calls. This time, the police are relatively sure that they’re false alarms. 1:34 a.m. A report comes in of a possible burglary in progress, with the homeowner inside. It’s just down the street in the 26800 block of 32nd Street. Three police cruisers arrive, but a search through bushes around the home, and an investigation inside, reveal only a confused homeowner. False alarm. With that dealt with, the backlog of Saturday noise complaints gets some attention. However, many complaints are so old that Bloomquist can’t find anyone playing loud music. The parties are winding down for the night. General Duty will conclude in the next edition of the Langley Advance.

To celebrate Parks Canada’s 100th anniversary, new Canadians were given a chance to camp at the Fort Langley campground over the weekend. Mountain Equipment Co-op provided the camping gear and despite the weather, several people took on the adventure. Many of those attending were families who provided their kids a chance to learn about camping. Parks Canada staff supervised the event which includes lessons in how to pitch a tent, cook out of doors and the basics of outdoor safety, not to mention a campfire singalong and a visit from Langley MP Mark Warawa.

An argument inside a local bar spilled over into an incident that involved the Emergency Response Team on June 11. The incident apparently began in or near Bob’s Bar and Grill in the 27000 block of Fraser Highway in Aldergrove. Police were called in at 10:42 p.m., after reports of a fight in the parking lot. The 23-year-old victim, an Abbotsford man, was allegedly hit with a beer bottle. The suspect then pulled out a pistol and slammed the butt into the victim’s head or face, said Cpl. Holly Marks of the Langley RCMP. The suspect then ran off to the east. Several police cars responded to the scene immediately from the nearby Aldergrove Community Police Office.

Officers armed with shotguns attempted to track down the suspect and cordoned off a nearby area. The suspect apparently lived in a townhouse just a few blocks away. The Emergency Response Team surrounded the home, believing the man had gone inside. They eventually realized he had slipped away. The suspect, a 19-year-old Aldergrove man, surrendered himself to police Sunday evening. He was arrested and has been released to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Aug. 16, Marks said. Police are recommending charges of two counts of assault with a weapon, possession of a prohibited firearm, and uttering threats, among others. One of the conditions of his release is to surrender any and all weapons in his possession. The victim was treated by ambulance paramedics. He suffered a bloody lip, a black eye, and a cut under his right eye from the assault.

80 years together As the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce celebrates its 80th anniversary at its annual general meeting tonight, it is worth noting some parallels between it and the Langley Advance. The local chamber, now one of the most successful in British Columbia, received its charter as the Langley Board of Trade in May of 1931, and its leaders immediately began actively lobbying to bring to town a truly “community-minded” newspaper to serve the needs of both the business community and the community as a whole. A few months later, on July 23, 1931, the first edition of the Langley Advance rolled off the presses and into Langley’s homes. The Advance is not a charter member of the Langley chamber – but having joined the chamber shortly after our own beginning, we currently are its longest-standing member. And we’re proud of that. The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce isn’t just a business networking group, it’s a community organization that works for the interests of a substantial portion of the communities that comprise Langley… and therefore, it works for the community as a whole. And as a business that is directly categorized as a “community newspaper,” that certainly works for us. Although we remain the “communityminded” newspaper that the chamber’s founders sought out in 1931, we also remain a member of Langley’s vibrant business community. The promise made in his July 23, 1931, editorial by newspaper founder E.J. Cox still stands: “It is a plain business proposition. The editor of the Langley Advance desires to make a clean, progressive local paper.” Then as now, we promise to serve the community as an honest, progressive business – exactly the kind of business that the foward-thinking founders of the Langley Board of Trade enticed into their community 80 years ago. – B.G.

Allard Crescent

Parking problem solved

Dear Editor, A few weeks back, I contacted Langley Township about the alleged issuing of parking tickets along 208th Street just north of Allard Crescent. The Vancouver Metro Parks people had built a trail from Derby Reach all the way to 208th Street, but had neglected to provide any safe parking. In fact, their instruction was that we were to park in the parking lot at Derby Reach and walk all the way along the trail west to 208th Street. However, there are places where that trail “ends,” and all pedestrians are forced to walk right on the shoulder of Allard Crescent, and at some points, right on the street itself. There are two sets of aggressive dogs that are only separated from the pedestrians by a wire fence. Allard Crescent is a busy street, and there is constant heavy truck traffic there, as well as many speeding cars.

Pet poop soils curb appeal

Dear Editor, My husband spends countless hours each week to give our front yard/garden attractive curb appeal. He does it because he loves to garden. Our front yard/garden is not your pets’ toilet. Too many people have too many cats that do their business in our front garden, and we have taken many measures to stop that. However, people who own dogs and allow them to ramble from house to house and use the front lawns as toilets need to smarten up. I have dogs, and I pick up at the dog park, and also have a service come to collect their business from my backyard. I would never allow my dogs to do their business on someone else’s lawn and leave it there. Both cat and dog owners have a responsibility to clean up after their pets, in their own homes and out in public. Allowing pets to run rampant and do their business on someone else’s property, and not taking responsibility

for it, shows a distinct lack of respect for neighbours and other places where the public gathers. I doubt that any pet owner would appreciate stepping in the feces of someone else’s pet, so they should do everyone a favour and take some responsibility for the droppings their own pets leave behind. It’s the neighbourly and community way to behave. Debbie Atkinson, Langley

Keep cats indoors

Dear Editor, It was recently suggested that cats in Vancouver should be licensed, like their counterparts in Calgary, and not be permitted outside their own property. I have owned many cats and totally agree. It was pointed out that indoor cats are healthier than those allowed to roam at large. It was also stated that, by nature, cats are hunter-killers, and their instincts greatly add to the decrease in wildlife. Considerate dog owners pick up the feces left behind

on walks beyond their property. My neighbour, a cat owner, once chastised me because my little dog cocked his leg on a tree bordering his land. In retaliation, I could have reminded him that his large cat regularly hunted the birds I feed in my backyard, and no doubt poops there if he has the urge. A small kitten was presented to me by a wellmeaning woman who has acreage. She was able to snatch this little, soon-tobe-feral animal from the nest its wild mother had prepared. I spoke to her yesterday and mentioned I was enjoying her kitten that is becoming domesticated and is now spayed. She said that, if I wished more cats, I should visit her place. She has six or seven feral females, and all have kittens. A financial price for the abuse of animals in this way should be imposed, although it is would be difficult to enforce. Mike Harvey, Langley

LAVROVA BALLET ACADEMY presents

The situation was a tragedy in the making. Parking on the side of 208th Street also posed a problem for the property owners just north of that trail, as the street was really not wide enough to accommodate parking and safe driving. Imagine my surprise to find out that the Township was not issuing any tickets there. However, once they surveyed the situation, they went to work and found a way to provide the users of that trail with safe offstreet parking. I want to send a huge thank you to Bill Storie and his staff at the Township – within weeks of bringing this situation to their attention, we now have a parking area for six to eight cars, right at the entrance to that trail. Now, we can park safely, and the property owners no longer have their street clogged up. It’s a win/win. Michelle Carduner, Walnut Grove

the Bruins’ hockey abilities. As you might have heard, we had a riot here in Vancouver. People were lighting cars on fire, robbing stores and buildings, and much, much more. We are true Vancouver fans (well, most of us, anyway) and the Bruins simply outplayed us. Once again congrats. The Stanley Cup really belonged to the Bruins all along and I hope you enjoy it. Grade 5 Carter Wilson was saddened by the riot, in which

police cruisers and civilian cars were tipped over, damaged, and set on fire, store windows were smashed, businesses were looted, and police officers and Good Samaritans were assaulted, among other crimes. “It was disgraceful,” he said. “I could not believe this was happening.” Carter believes the riot would have taken place, regardless of whether the Canucks had won the Stanley Cup or not.

Cancer Foundation

Bikini-clad women battle cancer with car washing About 20 Langley women have volunteered for an Underwear Affair event. by Teija Beck

editorial@langleyadvance.com

A group of bikini-clad Langley women will be washing cars and rais-

ing funds for the BC Cancer Foundation’s 2011 Underwear Affair on Saturday, June 25. “The Underwear Affair is a super fun event,” said car wash organizer Samantha Swain. “It’s pushing the envelope... and pushing the envelope with a bikini car wash is a fun thing to do too. It brings out a great crowd. It gets the guys’ attention,

and why not use that for a good cause?” Swain said this year’s event is intended to be a big follow-up to a car wash she organized supporting the Underwear Affair two years ago. In 2009, Swain’s friend Ryan Stene, a Langley firefighter, fought cancer and has since gone into remission. In his honour, Swain

and a group of women and firefighters in beachwear raised about $6,000 for research with a car wash. This year, she has doubled the number of volunteers and hopes to raise $15,000. “We all have other people who are close to us who are fighting some kind of cancer, and a lot of them have cancers that are below the waist,” Swain

said, “It’s important to us to show our support for them as well.” The BC Cancer Foundation estimates that in 2011, cancers below the waist will account for nearly 48 per cent of all cancers diagnosed in the province. The Underwear Affair is an annual five or ten kilometre walk in Vancouver that is intended to raise money and aware-

ness for cancers like prostate, testicular, ovarian or cervical cancer that can be difficult for some people to talk about. The Second Annual Bikini Car Wash for Cancer will be held between noon and 4 p.m. at Langley Wash World, 20137 Fraser Hwy., with all proceeds benefitting the BC Cancer Foundation. Car washes are by donation.

War art project had life lessons Playground re-tired

Students embraced a teacher’s suggestion to paint Canada’s soldiers who died in Afghanistan. by Heather Colpitts

For student Sarah Doerkson, painting John Curwin and speaking to his family gave her a deeper appreciation for the impact of war. He arrived in theatre Dec. 4, 2008 and died Dec. 13, 2008. Curwin had always wanted to be a soldier and the 26-year-old loved being a husband and dad. Curwin’s family was so moved by the students’ art that his mother, Danita, recorded a message that was played at a special ceremony June 17, when the Canadian War Museum officially received the works. She said the student work captured the spirit of soldiers like her son. “I am really proud and very happy about where those pictures are going,” Danita said. The project has had a lasting impact on the students. “This project mades us aware that there are people who dedicate their lives to others,” said student Kyuri Lee.

CONTEST

Students at Langley Fine Arts School have had a lesson in government red tape which turned out to be a good thing. They were trying to connect with families of soldiers they had painted in a project created by teacher Peter Sarganis. But privacy issues and red tape prevented them from giving the families the portraits of their loved ones. Langley MP Mark Warawa and his staff got involved at the beginning of this year and the end result is that the three dozen portraits will now be made part of the permanent collection at the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa. Sarganis recalls being divided over whether to have the students do the commemoration project, but they liked the idea. The students painted the portraits of men and women sometimes not much older than themselves. The soldiers had died betwen November 2008 and November 2009. Students didn’t just do the pictures. They researched their soldiers and in some cases were in contact with the families, giving the students a deeper understanding of the works and the war. “Once in a while you tap into an idea that is so much bigger than you expect,” Sarganis said. When Langley’s Garrett Chidley died in December 2009, Sarganis stayed up until 5 a.m. to finish a special portrait of Chidley in his combat gear so it would be ready for his funeral. The works were exhibited in late 2009 and garnered national attention. Since this nation started fighting in Afghanistan, 156 Canadian soldiers have died. “I know first hand that your support provides real motivation and inspiration to our troops,” said Warawa, when reading a

The eco-fees drivers pay when they buy new tires will help kids play safer in Langley Township. The Township will receive funding for a new playground thanks to the Tire Stewardship BC (TSBC). The stewardship program has been in operation for three years. The Township applied for and will receive a grant under the 2011 Community Grant program. The grants provide money for communities to use recycled tire products. The tires are used for playgrounds, spray parks and running tracks. “This grant certainly helps us in moving ahead with providing accessible, safe play surfaces using rubber tile,” said Al Neufeld, of the Langley Township parks department. “We would consider applying again for future projects.” Langley was one of a dozen projects chosen from 11 communities around the province. The 2011 grants total $127,000 and will use more than 127,000 pounds of recycled crumb rubber (or about 9,500 tires). “We’re thrilled to be able to help communities with the funding they need to make their projects a reality,” said Mike Hennessy, TSBC executive director. “These projects are meant to enhance the community experience for all residents. What’s more, by securing the use of BC recycled rubber in these projects we’re providing employment and economic benefits right here at home.” Funding for the Community Grant Program comes directly from the Advance Disposal Fee or eco-fee, that each retailer remits to TSBC for every new tire sold. These fees also go directly towards the operation of the scraptire recycling program, including the transportation and recycling of B.C.’s scrap tires to ensure they are disposed of in environmentally responsible ways, such as recycling into rubber products. On January 1, 2007 TSBC launched the new scrap-tire recycling program, replacing the government-run program that had been in place since 1991. Visit www.tirestewardshipbc.ca for more information about what happens to old tires and what happens to the fees paid for new tires.

Chamber’s ups, downs mirror history of Langley

From a small group of local merchants, the chamber has changed.

Lynn Whitehouse, executive director of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce for a quarter century, read one of the Langley Advance’s special supplements created for the chamber. This one dated to the 1990s. board suggested a parking bylaw instead, and parking time limits remain in place in the City to this day. Also in 1944, one of the first items discussed at one meeting was tolls on bridges. In that case, it was the Patullo Bridge, then the only fixed link between the north and south sides of the Fraser River, that local merchants were worried about. They wanted those tolls removed. Changes in technology and institution have erased other concerns. Minutes from a 1945 meeting contain a suggestion to the volunteer firefighters. When they are out at a call, one man should remain at the nearest phone, in case a second fire begins in another part of the town. In an era of cellphones and professional firefighters, that recommendation seems to

have been met. The popularity and strength of the Board of Trade, and later the Chamber, waxed and waned over the years. In the early 1960s, the old board of trade re-named itself the chamber of commerce, a trend that was sweeping Canada at the time, transforming many other boards into chambers. Whitehouse noted that the 500 people who attended an annual general meeting in 1959 is actually a few more than turn out for modern AGMs. But by the early 1970s, the chamber almost vanished. A motion was actually put in place to dissolve the entire organization, after a few years of low attendance at meetings and limited participation. Fortunately, Whitehouse said the shock motivated more members

While the chamber had an office by the 1980s, it moved into its present location in 1996, when it designed and bought its own offices. The mortgage for the building was burned in 2006, just a decade later. The chamber has continued to innovate, recently adding a new videoconferencing centre to its Glover Road location. It allows chamber members to attend conferences in Vancouver, the Interior, or halfway across Canada without leaving their home town. The chamber’s 2011 AGM will be held this week.

THE EARLY YEARS…

TODAY…

elebrating 25 years of serving the families and community of Langley Within Springman’s 25 year history in Langley the business has gone through many changes along the way. When brothers Dan and Rueben Springman started selling cars almost 30 years ago, they did so because they were car guys. “My brother and I have always loved cars,” says Dan Springman, co-owner of Springman’s Auto Centre in Langley on the Langley Bypass. The brothers started Springman Motors in Langley in 1986, selling quality pre-owned vehicles, becoming a Saturn dealer in the early 1990s. Today, Dan is the General Manager and Rueben is the Service and Body Shop Manager. Springman’s has become a true family business with cousins and a niece working there and, of course, their dedicated staff is a huge part of the success of the dealership. “Our goal has always been to deliver a quality product backed by excellent service,” states Dan. “Saab has a very loyal and dedicated following,” he added. “We know that ﬁts in very well with our reputation as a top provider of sales, service and auto body repairs in Langley and Surrey.” Saab is making a statement with current and brand new models coming to market. The 9-3 Sport Sedan, Convertible and SportCombi are the most recognizable models, available in four or six cylinder versions with either all wheel drive (AWD) or front wheel drive (FWD). Coming in Fall 2011, the all new Saab 9-4X will debut in the Springman’s showroom. A mid-size crossover SUV, it is sure to be a big winner boasting all the elements that make up a true Saab. It’s been designed to meet

the styling of an urban vehicle while still meeting the rugged demands of the weekend sportsperson. The interior boasts the comfort and luxury that Saab lovers have come to expect. The Springman brothers foresee great things in the future as the new owner of Saab brings the company back to its roots. Dan and Rueben are excited about the future with Saab. They also want to make sure all of their past and current customers know they will continue to receive the same high quality service they have come to expect. From the beginning, Springman’s has truly had our customers in mind every step of the way. We at Springman’s Auto Centre believe in the customer as part of our family, and having

your needs at the forefront of everything we do. And though times have changed and the Saturn line up has been discontinued, our committment to our customers has not. When we bring a vehicle in for sale, we do a full 150+ point inspection, a Car-Proof vehicle history report, and a full detail to ensure that the car you buy is clean and safe with no hidden surprises. We also offer a VIP oil change program for as long as you own your vehicle for stress free maintenance by Master Technicians. We have been and will continue to be a safe place for you to purchase, service and repair your vehicles and we remain committed to you. Now we have SAAB. A whole new beginning for Saab and Springman’s.

A photograph from the Langley Advance archives shows E.J. Cox and his son Fred standing outside the door of the Advance’s first home, on Fraser Highway in Langley Prairie. Barely discernible inside the door is the figure of a womna, believed to be E.J.’s wife Ida. Not dissimilar to today’s community fare, one column advised the community, “The Langley Prairie Dramatic Society has commenced preparation of the farce comedy, ‘Nothing but the Truth,’ which will be presented about the middle of September. Buried at the very end of one such “local news” column was a brief note indicating that the goings-on in town were not all about social pleasantries: “An unsuccessful attempt was made last week to rob the offices of the Langley Electric Bakery. Matthew’s Store at Murrayville was also entered, but the marauder, being discovered, jumped through the glass in the front door and made his escape in the woods, despite the fact that he was chased by residents.” Cox worked hard to win over his new community – including the businesses that

had asked him to start the newspaper in the first place. That first edition of Langley’s new newspaper included a lengthy article espousing the value of Boards of Trade within a community – an article that undoubtedly would have pleased the likes of prominent local businessmen Joe Gibson, J.G. Jervis, Jack Donnelly, and Ted Fuller, who were working hard to establish a firm foundation for the Langley Board of Trade that they had got going only a few months earlier, in May 1931. The current Langley Chamber’s record as one of B.C. most active and effective is a testament to their efforts. Nevertheless, it would be several years before The Columbian’s virtual monopoly was broken, and the Langley Advance became Langley’s community newspaper of record.

Gibson was one of those who created Langley City

A Langley Prairie businessman made a lasting impression on this community. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

It wasn’t long after Joe Gibson moved to Langley in 1919 that he started changing the face of the community. He would end up owning many local businesses but would also become involved in politics and the movement to create Langley City. Joe opened an electrical supply shop in the Theatre Block in 1922. In 1926, he expanded the electrical shop to include hardware. He added a real estate office in 1930. Gibson family In 1931, he sold the store but put up a Joe Gibson, on the microphone at his auction, had building supply store that his son Colin ran. a variety of businesses in Langley City. When he died in 1933, Joe closed the store. In 1934, he and his wife Olive reopened the Langley Theatre, running it until 1945 when it was sold to Peter Barnes and his sister Myrtle. The theatre had been built around 1915 and was demolished in 1958. From around 1930 until Gibson purchased and reopened it, the theatre had been used as, of all things, a hardware store. In 1938, Gibson opened his most successful venture, an auction house, running Thursday auctions that were vital to this still agricultural community. He also had auction houses in Cloverdale and Chilliwack. Gibson’s Auctions was owned by Mickey Gibson after Joe retired in 1958. Despite having many business ventures, Joe was still active in the community. It was at Gibson’s Auctions that a group of Langley Prairie residents met to discuss creating a new municipality, separate from Langley Township. Gibson also served a couple of terms on municipal council and pushed for the formation of the City. He was involved with the Langley Hospital board, the Lions, the Elks, the Legion and the Shriners. Joe had married Olive in 1911 and she followed him to England when he went overseas

with the air force during the First World War. When the family celebrated their 55th anniversary, Joe paid tribute to Olive. “He said ‘I wish I could spend another 55 years with her,’” recalled Elaine Vaughn, one of his grandchildren. He was an electrician in the air force and he put what he learned to use in his electrical business here. His lifelong love of animals was evident by his purchase of a farm at Jardine (near Fort Langley), where he kept livestock. Joe and Olive’s family included Colin, Eveline, Grace and Mickey. Vaughn said he could be strong-headed in his busiGibson family ness and political life but was a loving Irish grandfather Joe Gibson, beside his daughter Eva. to her and her cousins.

She recalls hanging around the auction yard, which was on Fraser Highway at 203rd Street. (Today there’s a tattoo parlour and u-brew operation in the same building where cattle were once paraded through.) There were the auctions of goods in the mornings and livestock in the afternoon, she recalled. “Langley was a great place to grow up,” Vaughn reminsced. The community was a place where everyone knew each other.

The way we were

Over the years, the Langley Advance has utilized some of the most modern equipment available – like the linotype machinery that graced the newspaper production shop in the 1940s.

As automobiles began taking over from horses, a number of Langley’s blacksmith shops, like the one owned by Charles Reid, purchased from George Medd in 1912, were turned into garages.

A typical home in Langley in the 1930s – predominately occupied by bachelors – would have been framed with lumber directly out of the bush, and roofed with hand-split shakes, while the siding was more often made of purchased shingles.

Trees were bucked by hand by loggers like brothers Walter and Eskil Johnson, giving way to Langley farms, homes, and businesses.

The first Langley Walk started at Aldergrove Park and finished in Fort Langley in 1963. The 1,000 walkers who completed the 17-mile (27 kilometre) journey were ferried back to Aldergrove in cars, trucks, and buses. The community trip was a major annual event in Langley, sponsored jointly by the Legion and municipal council. The place would literally close down for the day so that all the townspeople could hop aboard the Interurban into Vancouver, where they would board a chartered boat and sail to one of the Gulf Islands or elsewhere.

One of the first bulldozers in Langley pushed through town in 1929, preparing Fraser Highway for paving.

Milner Chapel | Celebrating 125 Years

Doris Blair remembers when Langley was still largely dairy farms, sawmills, and a few clusters of shops. The 92-year-old Milner resident was born in Cloverdale, and moved to Langley when she married Bill Blair more than 70 years ago. The Blair family had farmed land at 216th Street and 56th Avenue since the 1880s. Her in-laws had already been taking the paper since soon after its founding in 1931 – although Doris remembers her father-inlaw George didn’t take it for some years. Back in the 1940s, Advance editor E.J. Cox was known as a federal Liberal, and George was a Conservative. The paper was then weekly and paid for by subscription, rather than being free twice-weekly as it is now. The content was quite different. “There was a column for Mrs. So-and-So visited Mrs. So-and-So for afternoon tea,” said Blair. While the paper doesn’t do so many stories on afternoon tea any more, it still covers community events closely. “That’s what I like about it,” Blair said. “The Advance seems to do more articles on Langley, people of Langley.” The Blair family not only read the paper, they became part of the coverage, as Bill

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Doris Blair has been reading the Langley Advance for about 70 years. Blair was elected first an alderman, and then mayor of Langley Township. Bill bought ads in the paper to seek his re-election, was the subject of coverage many times over the years, and he was the target of an editorial cartoon at least once, Doris remembers. He wasn’t too fond of the cartoon, but it was part of the job, she said. Politics in those days was more handson. She remembers going for quite a few Sunday drives when Bill was an alderman in charge of public works. He’d take the car out and check out the back roads for pot holes personally. Her current favourite section of the paper is Looking Back.

Tourism

History, fishing lured tourists How Langley promotes itself has changed much over the past half century. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com It wasn’t so long ago that fishing and hunting were among the main tourism draws in Langley. The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce ran tourism promotions for the community until it helped form Tourism Langley as a separate group five years ago. As far back as the 1950s, the chamber was putting out brochures and maps, trying to lure people to visit what was then a mostly rural farming community.

A brochure from the late 1950s mentions the then-new Albion Ferry, the Newlands Golf Course, and the “modern” museum adjacent to the Fort Langley historic site. The Langley Centennial Museum was then brand new, having been built to mark the province’s centennial in 1958. The first attraction mentioned was fishing, though golfing, shooting at the Rod and Gun Club, bowling, and roller skating also got prominent promotion. “There are approximately 120 miles of paved roads and 250 miles of gravel roads which are being prepared for eventual paving,” the brochure noted. At the time the brochure was printed, the two Langleys together had a population of 15,000. Today’s population is more than 130,000.

80 Years Together

That the Langley Advance has a complete microfilm archive of its editions going back to the first one on July 23, 1931, is almost a miracle. And it is certainly a testament to the bond that the newspaper established with the community it serves. Owner, publisher, and editor E.J. Cox and his family were sitting around their dining room table one night in 1934 when a telephone call informed them that the Yale Garage, next door to the Advance office and printery, was on fire. Arriving at the newspaper office, they found well-meaning friends busily securing the premises, saving files, papers, and equipment from impending doom. As recounted by family members years later, E.J. called out to his daugh-

ter Kay to put all the ledgers and the files – copies of all of the issues printed over the previous three years – in the back seat of the car. She did so quickly and efficiently, placing all the business books and files in the back seat of a blue car parked nearby. But it wasn’t the family car. Although the Cox’s Some of the local busiadvertised extensively, nesses that advertised nobody came forward with the files. in the first edition of the The Advance appealed to Langley Advance: the community to come to the rescue, and bought • C.H.

Reflecting back.... The Meadows at Langley (located on Glover Road between the Fraser Highway and the Langley Bypass) has evolved into a beautiful community since 1991, when construction of the first phase commenced. A mixture of townhomes and condominiums, this phased community consists of 480 homes, including 74 condominiums in the final phase, Fairfield Lane. Combining the best of natural and urban settings The Meadows at Langley is complemented by a nature pathway that meanders along Logan Creek. Magnolia Gardens, our first Seniors’ Residence, is located on Glover Road and backs onto The Meadows. Completed in September, 2001, Magnolia Gardens is home to many of Langley’s seniors who enjoy their independence with assurance that their changing needs are being met and that, should the need arise, licensed nursing care is available in the same building.

Moving forward... Located in Murrayville in the Township of Langley, Sunridge Place is a mixed use phased development that will include Sunridge Gardens, a 145 unit seniors’ community, Solaro, a 114 unit condominium project and eight single family homes. Scheduled for completion in the Fall of 2011, Sunridge Gardens expects to achieve LEED Gold certiﬁcation and will feature geothermal and solar panel alternate energy sources.

The beautiful courtyard gardens, lovingly and proudly cared for by residents at Magnolia Gardens

Sunridge Gardens is a residence built for seniors who are looking for spacious, comfortable living areas, as well as a place to meet their friends and families. Similar to its sister residence, Magnolia Gardens, Sunridge has a variety of suite types, common rooms and introduces the idea of bringing the outdoors in with warm rich tones, soft ﬂowing forms, and organic materials. Sunridge Gardens feels like a country home in a suburban setting.

Century Thinking Builds Community.

Sunridge Gardens is also part of Bria Communities - a family of residences designed for seniors who want the freedom to be themselves, to live independently, and to experience fun and enjoyment with their friends and families every day.

Langley residents have benefited from the selfless efforts of local hospital auxiliaries. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

They’ve been working for decades to help others

It would be impossible to calculate the number of hours Langley Hospital Auxiliary volunteers such as Alvina Hansen have devoted to local health care. After all, there have been local volunteers since before there was even a hospital. Hansen has lived in Langley for more than 60 years, coming as a young bride from Saskatchewan. She wasn’t looking to get involved but once she started, she found she enjoyed working with the others and was proud of what they accomplished. Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance “I keep telling them they’re not getting rid of Alvina Hansen, a volunteer with the Langley Hospital me,” said Hansen, who turns 80 in September.

The

Volunteering was much different in decades past. They did activities that freed up doctors and nurses. That includes sewing bandages. The needles are still active today but for different reasons. Members make items for sale in the auxiliary gift shop and they knit little caps for each newborn. They also provide full knit outfits to the families of stillborn babies. There are hundreds of one-of-a-kind finger puppets given to children to given them a little friend to go along during tests and x-rays. The auxiliary also does TV rentals and major fundraisers such as the annual gala. That’s because health care has changed. Equipment is much more expensive and the auxiliary is now a much larger enterprise so it can continue to make important contributions to local health facilities. Hansen said in the past, the auxiliaries could hold a bake sale or set up a raffle to raise money. “Then you just went out and did what was needed,” she said. Nowadays, such things as food regulations and control by the Fraser Health Authority mean there’s more paperwork, formality and restrictions. Still Hansen enjoys making a difference in an area of life that affects everyone. Ironically, she’s never had to use Langley Memorial Hospital, having worked hard all her life, like so many of her generation. Her two kids were born in Langley Cottage Hospital and she’s never been a patient since. • More online at www.langleyadvance.com, click on “Life”

Cap’s Bicycles generation after generation come in for bikes and repairs. “It’s for the whole family, right from the toddler… all the way up to seniors,” he said. “We’ve got bikes for the whole family.” The store carries goods for the beginner right through to the expert rider. “The first thing we will do is find out what you want a bike to do,” he said. Then the staff can help find the right bike for the rider and their budget. As well, Cap’s provides repair services on any bikes and provides a year of free maintenance on bikes purchased there. Hobbis said the most important thing people can do for their bikes is to wipe them down and lubricate the chain. That helps combat the Wet Coast weather and the sand on the roads which are hard on equipment.

Looking 1951: Theft interrupted back… JUNE 24, 1971

Langley’s history, as recorded in the files of the Langley Advance. Seventy Years Ago

JUNE 26, 1941

• Tom Winget compiled a list of 200 Langley boys who had enlisted in the army, navy, and air force. • Copp’s Shoe Store opened in Langley, with C.J. Martin as manager. • Langley’s Salvage Campaign for the war effort netted $200 for the Red Cross. Plans were made for a salvage depot to be set up in Langley Prairie, with municipal trucks collecting the salvage every two weeks.

Sixty Years Ago

JUNE 28, 1951

• Would-be bank robbers cut their way into the Aldergrove branch of the Royal Bank, but left empty handed. The robbers apparently had been startled while at work: they ﬂed without their tools and safe-blowing equipment. • Municipal councillors demanded an immediate start to black-topping of Roberts Road (56th Avenue) from Berry Road (208th Street) to Johnston-Townline Road (216th Street).

Fifty Years Ago

JUNE 29, 1961

• Township council approved an additional ofﬁcer for the Langley RCMP detachment, reversing a previous decision. Reeve Bill Poppy

• For the second year running, the weather was terrible. Only 23 days of the year, prior to June 20, had been sunny, and the average June temperature was 4.8ºF below normal. • Social Credit whip and Langley MLA Hunter Vogel, speaking to the Langley Chamber of Commerce, explained the provincial government’s position on the federal ban on cigarette and alcohol advertising. • A panel of judges chose Parkside Centennial as the name for a new elementary school at 270th st. in Aldergrove. • City council considered a proposal to amalgamate its Parks Commission with the Township’s Recreation Commission.

Thirty Years Ago

JUNE 24, 1981

• Ralph Barichello died while on a business trip to Saskatchewan. Owner of a prize-winning herd of Jersey cattle, his list of community involvements included: Langley alderman for 11 years; 4-H leader for 30 years; 4-H Council executive member; Pacific National Exhibition executive member; Langley Agricultural Association president; B.C. Jersey Breeders Association president; dairy director and president of the B.C. Federation of Agriculture; and executive member of the Federated Cooperative Association. • A fire at Pacific Foam Supplies caused an estimated $100,000 damage.

EPR Langley 21542 48th Avenue Langley, BC V3A 3M5 T 604.534.1441

Twenty Years Ago

JUNE 26, 1991

• With Langley City’s per capita policing costs among the highest in the Lower Mainland, City aldermen were reluctant to spend money on police bicycle patrols. • A former Langley RCMP ofﬁcer was sentenced to nine years in jail for trafﬁcking in cocaine and threatening the life of a witness.

Ten Years Ago

JUNE 19, 2001

• A tape-recorded message from Township Councillor Dean Drysdale’s answering machine figured prominently in the ongoing BC Supreme Court trial into the Thomas vs McMullan defamation case. Heather McMullan admitted to the tape’s authenticity – which she had initially refuted, suggesting to the Langley Advance that it had been “doctored.” On the tape, McMullan had admitted to “harassing” a number of people, but testified at court that that only had been a figure of speech. • Langley’s mayors planned to petition Victoria for funding after Langley School Board axed all of its crossing guards.

JUNE 22, 2001

• Angry nurses and paramedics protested loudly after being legislated back to work from their strike by the new BC Liberal government. • A seven-day sit-in paid off for Alternate Program students at H.D. Stafford Secondary. A budget cut was postponed and their program was to continue for at least another year.

More than 850 athletes from across B.C. and beyond braved cool, drizzly weather at McLeod Athletic Park during the 32nd annual Pacific Invitational track and field meet. Hosted by the Langley Mustangs, athletes ranged in age from nine to 92 at a three-day competition that included the 2011 BC Masters Championships. “We had many outstanding performances all throughout the whole club as we prepare for the provincial championships in July,” Mustangs’ president Brent Dolfo said. “We also had a para-athletics component to our meet with both a great field of wheelchair racers and throwers taking part in the meet.”

Tuft speeds to success “The week was great and the team was superb,” commented Svein Tuft following another successful day at the Tour de Beauce.

Langley cyclist Svein Tuft rolled to victory in Quebec over the weekend. Tuft, of Team SpiderTech, raced to his second stage win of the 2011 Tour de Beauce, as the 2011 edition came to an end on Sunday with the presentation of the sixth and final stage of Canada’s top cycling stage race. More than 100 cyclists took part in this stage, and the remaining 50 attacked the urban course in the city of Saint-Georges de Beauce for a total distance of 125 kilometres. Tuft won the stage with a time of 3:02:05, 18 seconds ahead of the Canadian Andrew Pinfold (United Healthcare). Brett Trivers (GarneauShoe Club) of New Zealand finished third. “Today was a pretty good one. Initially, we wanted to blow the race apart and put all the pressure on Mancebo. When my first break got caught, Pat [McCarty] was awesome covering the moves, which allowed me to relax and recover for the final time up the climb. From that point, I made my plan for the attack, which stuck to the finish,” Tuft, a champion of the 2008 Tour de Beauce, said after the race. “The week was great and the team was superb. I am very proud of the guys and the way they raced this week.” Tuft finished the race in third place of the general classification. Francisco Mancebo-Perez of Team RealCyclist.com won top honors and the yellow jersey of the race leader, completing the six-

stage race with a time of 18:35:36, 25 seconds faster than his closest rival, Mexican Bernardo Colex of Amore & Vita. Team SpiderTech ended this Tour de Beauce with four podiums, including two stage wins. The only Canadian-based UCI procontinental team finished first overall in the team rankings among the 17 teams registered for the event. ••• On Saturday, Tuft won the time trial race at the Tour de Beauce, in the fourth of six stages. He completed the 24-km course in 25:26:35, winning by a six-second lead over runner-up Michael Freiburg of V-Australia. Tuft, the captain of Team SpiderTech, is no stranger to success in the time trial. The defending Canadian

champion took the silver medal in the 2008 UCI World Road Championships time trial race. With the victory, Tuft jumps to the sixth place of the general classification. ••• Team SpiderTech cyclists now have a only a few days to celebrate their successes at the Tour de Beauce before taking part in the 2011 IMMUNITYFX Canadian Road Championships, to be held this upcoming week in Burlington, Ont. Whistler’s Will Routley and Tuft will defend their Canadian titles in the road race and time trial race, respectively. SpiderTech’s Hugo Houle is also the reigning Canadian U23 champion in time trials.

One thing was for certain last weekend – an Olympian was going to touch the wall first in each and every event during a one-day swim meet held at Walnut Grove Pool. And a Canadian Olympian made the meet all the more special. Every swimmer involved was an Olympian member, as the Langley Olympians Swim Club (LOSC) hosted its final Interclub meet of the season. The meet was attended by all Langley Olympians swimmers along with athletes from their sister club, the Abbotsford Olympians. The young swimmers were given a special treat as 2008 Canadian Olympian Jake Tapp made a special appearance to take part in the meet. Tapp, now 21, has been an LOSC team member since he was 10 years old. In ’08, he swam for Team Canada at the Beijing Olympics. Tapp recently graduated from the University of Arizona and is now at the UBC National Training Centre. The young swimmers from the two clubs had the opportunity to watch Tapp swim, and he happily posed for photos and signed autographs. Tapp then handed out awards to the club’s yearend award winners.

On Sunday, June 12, the day after the Interclub meet, a team of five LOSC swimmers attended the Burnaby Dynamo 9th Invitational meet at the Bonsor Pool in Burnaby. Meredith Clark, 11, raced superbly and set meet records in the 11-year-girls 50-metre freestyle, 200m freestyle (2:36.10), and 400m freestyle (5:28.44). Clark also and finished first in the 100m backstroke and swam to 100 per cent best times. Also achieving 100 per cent best times was Jenessa Hillman, 10, who swam to top spot in the 10-year-old girls 200m freestyle, to go with a third in the 400m freestyle and fourth-place finishes in the 100m backstroke and 100m breaststroke. Erin Moloney, 11, was another swimmer with 100 per cent best times. She won the 11-yearold girls 50m backstroke, placed second in the 400m freestyle and 200m freestyle, and took third in the 100m backstroke. Avery Martin, 10, placed first in all his events in the 10-year-old boys group, winning the 400m freestyle, 100m backstroke, 200m fly, and 200m freestyle. Nevena Solar, 11, finished second in the 11year-old girls 50m backstroke and fourth in the 100m backstroke. ••• Registration for Langley Olympians Swim Club is ongoing. Call 604-532-5257 or visit the Olympians’ website at www.langleyolympians.com for more information.

Like puzzles? Then you'll love Sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your Sudoku savvy to the test!

SUDOKU

Fun By The Numbers

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
