There’s less money than expected for many local charities that pin their hopes on provincial gaming grants, and the groups are disappointed with the change. On Tuesday, Langley MLA Mary Polak and Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman announced $727,440 is being distributed to a long list of local non-profit groups. However, many are seeing less money than in past years, and much less than they had hoped for. The Langley Seniors Resource Centre received $97,500 in the most recent round, the bulk of $120,000 it will receive from gaming this year. But that’s down from about $160,000 in gaming money the society received in 2009, said director of programs Barb Stack. “It definitely has had an impact,” Stack said. “We’re not sure what we’re going to be doing at this point.” At the centre, senior Audrie Maki vented her frustration on B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell. “He’s cutting us to the bone already,” she said. Rosa Barkley is worried about what the cuts will do to the centre. “We’re all seniors, here,” she said. “If they don’t get the money, what are they going to do?”

The reduced grant comes in the wake of between $30,000 and $35,000, Brunner said. an $86,000 cut in Fraser Health Authority But because grants are uncertain, the funding for the centre last year. museum treats them as a bonus when it The society’s board is meeting this week to receives one. “We didn’t build it into the discuss how to deal with the shortfall. budget,” Brunner said.

No to Dinotown

It is highly unlikely that Dinotown, the Bridal Falls theme park, will be relocating to the site of the Greater Vancouver Zoo. Park owner Rob Ell has sold the land where his family has run a theme park – originally Flintstones’ Bedrock City, then Dinotown – to make way Jody Henderson for an RV park. Ell has suggested there has been interest in buying some or all of the park’s accoutrements, including costumes and vehicles. Aldergrove was suggested as one spot for a new version of Dinotown. • More online

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender (inset) and Riccardo Sestito, president of the Langley Good Times Cruise-In, will be meeting with City officials and police next week to help determine the future of the annual car show.

Tourism

Meeting decides Cruise-In’s fate

Organizers of Langley’s giant annual car show will soon decide its future. by Roxanne Hooper

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

The fate of the Langley Good Times CruiseIn could be decided as early as next week. Two days before the 2010 car show would normally roll out on the streets of downtown Langley City, a meeting has been called that could ultimately decide the event’s future, president Riccardo Sestito told the Langley Advance. The 2010 Cruise-In was cancelled earlier this year, organizers listing a number of reasons for the decision. Those included bureaucratic red tape, need for additional experienced and long-term directors, but paramount were some safety concerns specific to unsanctioned gatherings that resulted in burn-outs on the City streets. By cancelling the show for one year, Sestito said, he and fellow directors hoped to have time to sort through the issues and see if the event could be resurrected. Since the hiatus was announced in January, Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender has been offering to work with Cruise-In organizers to find solutions and ensure that Langley’s premiere tourism event survives. “The City wants Cruise-In back. I think we’re absolutely ready to do what we can,” Fassbender said. Now the mayor, the RCMP, and City of Langley managers are set to meet with Sestito and Cruise-In vice-president Keith Wilson on Sept. 8 to sort through those worries. “It’s best to have all the players in the room. Everyone has to work together,” Fassbender said, anxious for the meeting.

“The best way to deal with it is eye-to-eye at the same table.” A lot is riding on Wednesday’s meeting, Sestito explained. “We’re going to put our concerns forward,” he said, including a compromise he hopes will help ensure Cruise-In’s survival. “I’m hoping we can go in there and pound out the problems we have, and hammer something out,” he added. Then, from that meeting, Sestito is optimistic he can go back to the board of directors with a recommendation to continue Cruise-In. If it does go ahead, there will be no more Friday night cruise to the drive-in. The main car show on Saturday would continue, and the swap meet could continue on Sunday. But admittedly, Sestito said, there has to be a number of concessions met on the other side, too, if that’s going to happen. CruiseIn organizers want assurances of better communication and partnering with both the City and police. “If everything goes well, I’m up for it. But there’s no guarantees,” he clarified. If the meeting fails, Sestito said, he’ll be going back with a recommendation to close up shop and disband the society. He and other directors, who have been talking all summer, expect to be making a decision either way soon after next week’s meeting. “Right now, some of us want to go on, and some of us don’t want to go on… I, myself,

want to do it again. Some of the directors do want to bring it back. But we have to get through these hurdles. We have to have the support.” Sestito is hoping the absence of this year’s show has given the community – including government, businesses, and spectators – an appreciation for all that goes into making it happen and the benefits it brings to the community. “We’ve put a class-A show together year after year… the Cruise-In is something to brag about for Langley. The Cruise-In is big,” he said, noting that it brings upwards of 100,000 people to the community, and raises upwards of $120,000 a year for local charities. Asked what the directors are going “I’m hoping to be doing on we can go what would norin there mally be Cruise-In weekend, he said and pound the plan is to sit in out the their lawn chairs in front of the Cruiseproblems…” In clubhouse on Riccardo Sestito Fraser Highway, and watch all the classic, vintage, and custom cars roll through town. Admittedly, even though the show’s not happening in 2010, a hundred or so car enthusiasts are still expected in town on the traditional Cruise-In weekend. “There’s nothing concrete for a show in 2011,” Sestito said, but he’s optimistic. So, too, is the mayor. “I’m optimistic and hopeful that Cruise-In is going to come back next year, and that we can help them in whatever way we can,” Fassbender said.

Please, don’t drive stupid We’ve spent a lot of time in this space talking about driving drunk, and why it’s a staggeringly bad idea. But more than a few folks are a danger to themselves and other drivers while stone cold sober. This is all the more important this month, as Labour Day heralds the return of kids to school. That means that the morning commute will be busier, with college and high school students and parents taking to the roads. There will also be more pedestrians, including the short, quick, sometimes hard to see kind who cross roads near elementary schools. So please, the next time you approach one of those bright yellow school zone signs that dot Langley, don’t interpret it as a signal to speed up. Slow down. Slow all the way down to 30 km/h. Driving at that speed for a few hundred metres will not make you more than two or three seconds late for work. It will not make you lose the imaginary race you are having with the cars ahead of you. It will not damage your appeal to the opposite sex. It might save a life, or keep a kid out of the hospital. It might keep you out of court, and it might keep a few hundred bucks in your wallet, instead of in the provincial speeding ticket coffers. Don’t just drive smart around schools, though. Keep a watchful eye out from the moment you turn that key in the ignition to the time you put the vehicle back in park. The thing about kids is, they’re everywhere. Some of them are on bicycles, and they may not always be aware of their surroundings, or riding with the greatest care to the rules of the road. (We could say the same thing about some adults.) As the police will remind you if they catch you blasting past a school come next week, driving is a privilege. – M.C.

is also a creative impulse, and that’s at least partly true. Disasters are a chance for a fresh start. Most recently, it’s been put into words by Rahm Emanuel, one of Barack Obama’s chief political operatives. Matthew Claxton “You never let a serious crisis go to waste,” mclaxton@langleyadvance.com Emanuel said. “And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.” It is September, 1666.

Animal welfare

Cats lacking accountability

Dear Editor, I agree wholeheartedly that it’s time for cat owners to pay their fair share of the costs of animal welfare in Langley [Past time for cats to pay their fair share, Aug. 31 Letters, Langley Advance]. I pay for my dog licences. I keep them in my yard. I take them out on leash. And I even, believe it or not, pick up my dog’s business in a plastic bag and carry it back home to be picked up by a company that I pay to get rid of it. I have cats of all colours and sizes in my neighbourhood, and I’m sick and tired of cleaning up their business from my gardens. Cat owners should take some responsibility for their cats. They let them roam all

over the neighbourhood with no accountability for their behaviours or actions. Maybe, as Bill Image notes in his letter, they should have to pay for a licence for keeping their cats, and then perhaps, if it’s costing them money to own a cat, as it is for us as dog owners, they would make sure that they are better managed – perhaps keep them in the house or find a way to keep them in the yard, so that the cats’ owners, instead of their neighbours, do the clean-up. If dog owners let their dogs run free to do their business on cat owners’ front lawns or gardens, you can bet your boots the cat owners would be crying foul. D. Atkinson, Aldergrove

Mufford overpass

‘Tens of thousands’ didn’t show up

Dear Editor, The ALC heard the public, anyone who wanted to speak, on Aug. 30. The “tens of thousands” of Mufford overpass supporters did not show up, not one! Perhaps they won’t show up on election day, either, to support the six-pack. Maybe it is time Township

councillors represent the electorate, and maybe some should apologize to Langley residents for presenting unsubstantiated, fabricated numbers to the Agricultural Land Commission. One hundred per cent of the speakers were against the Mufford overpass, but there was a large interest

Fort Langley

Opportunity to prove trust

Dear Editor, The public hearing process allows concerned citizens to have a say in development proposals. As with the ParkLane application for rezoning of the Bedford Landing site, the citizens of Fort Langley had an opportunity to express their opinions of this application to Township council. What was said was a resounding no to the ParkLane proposal to build yet more tall buildings next to the existing apartment block. Did council and staff hear? The public hearing concluded with the proposal to be referred to staff to work with ParkLane to bring back to council a re-worked plan. The public has no further input in any such plan presented. So it is a matter of trust. In the words of Henry Lewis Stimson, “The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him.” The residents of Fort Langley must have faith that council considers their wishes in any new development proposal brought forward in September and does the right thing. To Township of Langley council, I say, “We want you to be trustworthy.” Jim Deacon, Fort Langley

in fixing the real problem, where it is now and always will be: Langley Bypass at Glover Road. Undeniably, the forecast is for double the number of trains, double the length, and exponential population growth to the east. At least the gridlock passengers will be shaded from the sun by the Mufford overpass meandering to nowhere through the former farmland. The money saved by eliminating the Mufford overpass, eliminating the Gateway/216th Street cloverleaf, eliminating a 216th Street/Glover Road/ rail overpass, eliminating four-laning 216th Street north, and eliminating the cost of more than 70 acres of farmland acquisition, would more than double pay for a “Raise the Langley Bypass” proposal at Glover Road on the provincial Highway 10, and to fourlane Glover Road to connect with the existing 232nd Street cloverleaf at the Trans-Canada Highway. It is just a matter of priority: real connectivity; save money; no loss of farmland. Dean Holcombe, Langley

HST

Deception taxes Liberals’ support

Dear Editor, As much as I respect Eric Bysouth [Tax gets better with research, Aug. 31 Letters, Langley Advance], I think he might just have missed the forest because all the trees got in the way. I am pretty confident that most of his fellow citizens who signed the anti-HST petitions did so mainly to show our great displeasure with the Liberal government and its deceptive ways: wasting billions on the Olympics, which mainly benefited a select minority of Gordon Campbell’s cronies; lying about even considering the HST; and

him for bringing our frustrations to the forefront. Bring on the recall campaign. Win Bromley, Langley

CRTC

Donation requests overwhelming

Dear Editor, When is the federal government going to with the CRTC’s administration of the Do Not Call list? I placed my name on the list months ago, and still receive dozens of calls and mailings. As a senior on fixed income, I have responded when possible to deserving requests for financial contributions. However, I will no longer make contributions to any organization that does not respect my right to privacy.

RCMP investigation

Ride raises $82,000

Paving dispute leads to threats

The bar has officially been raised for next year’s Ride For Hope cycling fundraiser. It was announced last week that annual ride, held this summer on July 7, raised more than $82,000 for the Canucks for Kids Fund. The money will go to Canuck Place, to help children with lifethreatening illnesses and support their families. The team of cyclists – pictured arriving at the 64th Avenue SaveOn-Foods in Langley – journeyed 200 kilometres from Surrey to Hope.

1. Have you ever had a yeast infection?

!Yes !No

2. Have you ever taken antibiotics? !Yes !No

When we talk about yeast overgrowth, what we are referring to is an imbalance of our body’s healthy flora or beneficial bacteria. Yeast organisms are normally present in our intestinal tract in small amounts. However, this balance can easily be destroyed by things such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, birth control pills, poor diet, stress, and nutrient deficiencies. Here are just a few of the symptoms of Candida overgrowth:

Fatigue (low energy) • Sugar cravings • Yeast infections (women) • Weight issues Brain fog • Athlete’s foot • Gas & bloating • Sinus problems • Fungal infections By following my Candida Protocol, you can get rid of your Candida overgrowth, have more energy, and feel great. The difference you will feel will be noticeable. You have my word on that.

CandiGONE is a 15 day microbial cleansing program that combines a broad spectrum of synergistic herbs and other natural ingredients to destroy Candida and yeast in the intestinal tract.

3. Have you ever taken the Birth Control Pill?

!Yes !No

4. Do you crave sugar or eat it daily?

!Yes !No

5. Do you crave bread or eat it daily?

!Yes !No

6. Do you crave alcoholic beverages !Yes !No or drink them regularly? 7. Do you have bloating, burping, or gas?

!Yes !No

8. Are you fatigued or get tired easily?

!Yes !No

If you answered ‘yes’ to one or more of these questions, chances are you may have a problem with Candida. For more information visit your local health food store.

FibreSMART is a unique fibre formula that supports the digestive tract and overall bowel health. Fibre absorbs toxins and ‘sweeps’ dead yeast and Candida from the intestinal tract to the colon for elimination.

For chronic cases of Candida, use CandiGONE for 30 days.

FloraSMART Extra Strength is a blend of probiotics which help ensure a healthy balance between good and bad bacteria in the intestinal tract. When the bacteria in the intestinal tract are not in balance, it allows for bad bacteria, such as Candida albicans, to grow and over populate the area. This is the underlying cause of yeast overgrowth in the body.

CandiZYME is a powerful enzyme product specifically formulated to destroy the protective cell walls of Candida / yeast organisms. This ensures that the antifungal herbs in CandiGONE can destroy Candida / yeast more effectively.

Police are looking for some driveway contractors who responded to a dispute over payment with violent, lurid threats. On Aug. 19, property owners in Langley and Abbotsford called police to report the unusual threats. The Langley incident took place when a homeowner in the 6100 block of 248th Street hired a crew to pave his driveway. While the work was underway, the homeowner ran into a man who recognized the paving crew. The newcomer claimed the crew had done very poor work for him in Richmond. Confronted, the crew left with the job only partly finished. “The workmanship was “The of questionworkmanship able quality,” Marks said. was of Later that questionable day, the homeowner quality.” received two Cpl. Holly Marks threatening phone calls demanding complete payment for the job, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. The callers began by saying they would come back and tear up their work, but then threatened to tell people that the homeowner was a pedophile, Marks said. Their second call involved a threat to rape the man’s wife. The victim called police. The same day, a similar incident was unfolding in Abbotsford. In this case, the work was also questionable, and when a dispute about payment arose, the contractors allegedly said they had links to the Irish Republican Army, and that they could bomb the victim. In the Langley incident, it seems there will be no criminal charges. “The complainant doesn’t want charges,” Marks said. Local Mounties have spoken to someone apparently representing the contractor by phone, and the matter will be worked out between the homeowner and the company through lawyers, Marks said. However, in the Abbotsford case, investigators are still pursuing their suspects for threatening. The threats were made from a pay-as-you-go cellphone number, making it hard to track down the caller. Publicity of the first two incidents has brought a number of new, similar cases to light, said Const. Ian MacDonald of the Abbotsford Police. He’s received three calls from people around the Lower Mainland about similar incidents ranging from two years to five days ago. In the most recent incident, the victim was a business owner who wanted his parking lot paved. He returned and found a slapdash job being done, and learned that the agreed upon price had doubled. While the victim said he felt threatened, the incident apparently did not escalate to the same level of the Aug. 19 incidents. In the Langley case, the victim said the suspects had strong British accents, but in all the other cases, Irish accents were reported. MacDonald said the investigator assigned to Abbotsford’s case is very eager to speak to the suspects. “Our investigator is Irish,” MacDonald said. The investigator said driveway scams such as these are extremely common in his home country. Marks warned other people considering work on their driveways to be cautious. With a project that can easily costs thousands of dollars, do your homework first. Contacting the Better Business Bureau to see if there have been complaints, asking to see references, and getting estimates from a couple of firms, are all good ideas, Marks said. Anyone with information regarding the company is asked to call the Abbotsford Police at 604-859-5225, or Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Education

Auditor General’s been busy looking at schools Recent provincial reports have looked into Langley finances and money issues for all B.C. districts. by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Auditor General’s report on the Langley School District and its financial troubles is done but won’t be made public yet. Education Minister Margaret

McDiarmid said it will be put to the school district to release the report. The district hired the AG’s office to be its auditor after ongoing financial problems that culminated in a combined debt and deficit of more than $13 million by the end of the school year in June. “I have read the report,” McDiarmid said. “That report is not going to be publicly released until the fall.” The local district has hired the AG’s office as its auditor for the next few years and has received provincial government permission for its plan to cut its debt

over the coming four years. It’s another report by Auditor General John Doyle that has been made public. B.C. schools are sitting on too much cash, about $1 billion worth that could be generating more investment revenue. That’s the conclusion of his report. “Government needs to either strengthen the requirements expected of individual entities or centralize some aspects of cash management in these sectors in order to improve the management of working capital,” he said. School districts spend about $5.4 bil-

More than 95 per cent sits in commercial bank accounts with some short-term and some long-term investments. “Had the colleges and school districts deposited their excess cash with government’s investment manager to invest, they could have earned higher investment returns,” the report noted.

4-H career ends on high note

Rachel Lee’s final year at the PNE yields tops prizes and dollars with her market lamb. by Andrew Harvey

Special to the Langley Advance

Brookswood’s Rachel Lee took home top honours and top dollar during the 4-H competitions at The Fair at the PNE last week. Entered in several categories over the course of four days, Lee’s grand champion 133-pound Suffolk lamb, Timo, was judged on how well he displayed key features such as his loin and hindquarters. Judges looked for an even proportion in the finish, or the fatcovering of the lamb. Timo received high marks, including top honours in the 4-H market class where he was

judged against 30 other lambs. In a phone interview with the Langley Advance, the well-spoken Lee commented on her final year of competition. “Winning set this year over the top. Never has anyone in my family won before. It was a big deal,” she said. Since May, the 20-year-old Lee has been grooming Timo with the aim of winning a good title to help boost the price at the annual Pacific National Exhibition (PNE) auction on Aug. 24. Having attended the PNE over the past eight years, Lee has seen a variety of prices, mostly from the $4 to $6 range per pound in live weight. Armed with the title of the “best” top quality lamb for the 2010 fair, Lee’s lamb fetched a healthy auction price of $14 per pound from long-time 4-H supporters at Fraser Valley Auctions.

“It is fantastic that so many people support the young people who work so hard all year preparing their animals for the PNE event,” said John Friesen, chair of the PNE’s agricultural committee. Collectively the 4-H members raised a remarkable $362,958 from the sale of 154 animals. “It made it that much more special that it was the PNE’s 100th year,” said Lee. “Everyone who hears about the PNE has been hearing that it’s the 100th year. Because more people are hearing about it, more people were able to see my lamb. It was a grand finale. A fitting way to draw things to a close,” Lee added. But it wasn’t just the extra attention that excited her. “There were plenty of things to participate in for the centennial,” Lee noted, enthusiastically. “I took part in a parade at English Bay waving a flag behind a pig float, while PNE president Mike

Proposed Community Plan Amendment

The objectives for the conservation area are to:

NOTICE is hereby given that the Township of Langley Council will meet and hold a Public Hearing.

• Ensure that all building restorations, rehabilitations, renovations or alterations, and property development or redevelopment within the Area, respects the history and enhances the heritage character of Murrayville

AT THE PUBLIC HEARING all persons who believe their interest in property is affected by the proposed bylaw shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaw that is the subject of the hearing.

BYLAW NO. 4833 Murrayville Heritage Conservation Area Bylaw No. 4833 proposes to establish a Heritage Conservation Area that will recognize, preserve, and enhance the existing heritage features of Murrayville and provide a management framework for infill and new construction that is in keeping with the historic character of the neighbourhood. The proposed bylaw outlines the special features and characteristics of Murrayville that justifies its establishment, identifies the management objectives for the area, and provides guidelines for how these objectives will be achieved. The boundaries for the proposed Murrayville Heritage Conservation Area are shown on Map 1. BYLAW NO: 4833

• Recognize and enhance the historic nature of Murrayville for the beneﬁt of present and future generations

• Promote preservation, restoration, and rehabilitation of the heritage buildings in the Area • Respect the design of existing contemporary buildings • Accommodate infill development that is consistent with the existing heritage buildings and enhances the heritage character of the Area • Communicate the historic value of the Area through a variety of means, including complementary streetworks, interpretive signs, events, and neighbourhood celebrations. Guidelines for how these objectives will be achieved are based on the underlying principals of integrity of individual buildings and the respect for the original design concept for each structure, as well as the integration of each building within a unified vision for the entire area. Their purpose is to promote economically viable commercial and residential projects, encourage the retention and revitalization of individual historic buildings, provide guidance for new construction, and encourage an appropriate streetscape appearance that will benefit the entire heritage area. The guidelines provide specific recommendations for three categories of buildings, including scheduled historic buildings, nonscheduled existing buildings, and new construction. The enactment of a Heritage Conservation Area in Murrayville will not alter the development potential of any of the existing properties within the proposed boundaries, nor will it affect the current bylaws in place. Rather, its objectives and guidelines focus on recommendations that will assist in maintaining the heritage qualities that characterize historic Murrayville over the long term.

The community of Murrayville with its unique ﬁve-corner intersection, known as Murray’s Corners, was the second area in the Township to develop into a distinct community. This early settlement which initially grew up as a service area for travellers and the local agricultural community is now 140 years old and remains one of the most intact historic areas of the Township. Mid and late twentieth century inﬁll has contributed to its evolution as a community, and its diverse range of physical resources, encompassing residential, institutional, and commercial buildings, roadways and landscape features, spanning from 1887 to the present, contribute to its character, appeal, and liveability as a distinctive community within the Township.

aspect of 4-H when she joined Langley’s Lamb and Woolcraft. “Anyone can participate in 4-H. A lot of people think you have to raise a cow. But it’s a myth. You really don’t have to live on a farm,” said Lee who keeps her animals on her friend’s South Langley property. “You can do it anywhere there is a 4-H club. If there isn’t one in your community, you can start one. [Over time] the skills add up. It is such a great program to be involved in,” she said.

notice of public meeting Proposed Telecommunication Tower NOTICE is hereby given that the Township of Langley Council will meet and hold a Public Meeting. AT THE PUBLIC MEETING all persons who have an interest in the proposed Telecommunication Tower shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting the Tower that is the subject of the meeting. PROJECT: 08-13-0064 / DP100608 APPLICANT: Cascadia Tower Inc. OWNER: Georgina Reynolds ADDRESS: 21554 Crush Crescent The applicant proposes to construct a 42.36 metre (139 foot) tall monopole telecommunication tower in the southeast corner of the property. A 100 m2 (1,076 ft2) chain-link fenced compound accommodating an equipment pad for electronic radio equipment is proposed at the base of the tower. Although the Township’s Zoning Bylaw allows a public utility tower as a permitted use in all zones, it also requires that all towers in excess of 12 metres (40 feet) in height be brought to Council’s attention and neighbours notiﬁed prior to the development proceeding. Cascadia Tower Inc. must also make application to Industry Canada for licensing. Prior to licensing, Industry Canada considers any comments that it receives from interested parties, including the Township and nearby residents.

In addition to spreading the money more thinly, Coleman said, gaming grants have been re-prioritized, with sports teams being largely excluded this year, in favour of social and youth service groups. Targeted money handed out by bingo halls has been largely eliminated. Bingo is fading as a portion of gaming revenues, Coleman said, and in recent years, the bingo grants had been subsidized by other forms of gambling. That needed to stop, to make the system fair, Coleman said.

The grants are calculated annually, based on the needs of groups asking for money, he said, adding, “Some people think the grant’s an entitlement.” But in some cases, if money is left over from the previous year, or if a group can find money through other forms of grants or from donors, less gaming money will be given. “I think actually the Langley groups did pretty well,” Coleman said. A total of $120 million in gambling money will be handed out around B.C. this year, up by about $9 million from last year, but down from a pre-recession high of $154 million.

I have to tell you about a business that you can credit (or blame, depending on your perspective) for bringing me to Langley in the early 1970s. That company is known today as Gandy Installations, but at the time was called Atwell & Gandy Gas and Electric, run by two incredible gentlemen (and I don’t use that term loosely) – Ken Atwell and Charlie Gandy. It was that business that lured my father to its flame – per say – and to Langley. Of course, only a few years after my dad – a trained electrician hailing from Alberta – went to work with Ken and Charlie, the Atwell half of the company decided to retire. It was a mixed blessing, my father reflects. Admittedly, he loved working with the A&G crew, but the change propelled him to open his own electrical firm – Dick’s Electric – in 1976. And although he’s now 78, and supposedly retired, many who know him can find him offering his electrical expertise to many a community project. Anyway, I digress. After 20 years in business together (1956-1976), Atwell retired, prompting Gandy to also venture out on his own. And with three A&G guys and himself, Charlie created what is now known as Gandy Installations. Of course, Charlie too has since retired, his son Chuck taking over the helm of one of Langley’s fast growing businesses in 1987. So, why am I offering you this history lesson on one local business, today? Because there was recent

Three generations of the Gandys have worked to build this family business up over the past 54 years, starting with Charlie Gandy (left), his son Chuck (right), and Chuck’s son Taylor (centre). reunion of sorts held, when Gandy Installation held an open house to celebrate a new, much larger, and way overdue digs on 62nd Avenue (at the north end of the 204th Street overpass). For decades, Gandy Installations continued to operate out of the same space on Industrial Avenue, in the heart of downtown Langley City. But as Chuck explained, they’ve been bursting at the seams for years and the move was necessary. So when the ideal building, with a big enough yard, finally came available on 62nd Avenue, he jumped at it. They bought the warehouse formerly occupied by Bayhill Electric – a company well known for installing underground power for street light in the Lower Mainland. Now Gandy Installations’ actually moved in about two months ago, and I’m told by Chuck that it has given his business more than double the space.

Since Chuck, who grew up around the family shop, took over there have been some typical ups and downs. But the business seems to be flourishing, with the parent company of Gandy Installations having taken over Kerrisdale Gas and Neufeld Heating and Cooling in recent years. In fact, the business has grown a lot since 1956, when Charlie and Ken first ventured into business together in Langley. Today, Gandy Installations – and its subsidiaries – employees 54 people. That’s quite a legacy, and it won’t end with Chuck. His son, 23-yearold gas technician Taylor Gandy, is currently learning the business from the ground up. Taylor is apparently working in the family business by day, and taking business courses by night, preparing for the day when he too can take over the helm.

Exhibition

Moving personal boundaries through art by Andrew Harvey Special to the Langley Advance

estled in the northwest corner of Glover Road and Mavis Avenue in Ft. Langley is the historical CN Station, complete with a hidden gem – the Flagstop Gallery. Home to the Fort Langley Artists Group (FLAG), this charming gallery occupies the old baggage room of the station. Diane Moran, a 46-year-old Hopington area resident and member of FLAG, meets monthly with the diverse group of fellow member artists to discuss art in the local community and select themes for exhibition – such as the current show, entitled Dancers. “Collectively [the exhibit] is the essence of dance captured in several ideas. The artists have captured the energy of dance,” said Moran, sitting on a vintage school chair in the gallery for an interview with the Langley Advance. “We’ve captured energy and music in the pieces. Art should be about telling stories,” she said, just as a story unfolds outside. A wedding party passes by to capture some memorable shots with the heritage building as a backdrop, something Moran casually mentions is a common occurrence before continuing to speak about the various art pieces on exhibit. FLAG presents several exhibitions from mid-May to Labour Day each year, in the space they share with the Langley Heritage Society. Ending the 2010 season on Monday, Sept. 6, the FLAG artists are coming together for a Paint-In at the Flagstop Gallery. This will be an event, running 12 to 4 p.m., where they bring their work and share talents with the community. Using various techniques and mediums, the artists in FLAG vary in age, skill-level and backgrounds. Moran, a programmer of children’s activities for the city of Burnaby, remarked on how the changing themes of the shows can be

intimidating for the artists – herself included – but it inspires them to go beyond areas of comfort. Stretching herself is not unusual for the self-proclaimed abstract artist. At the age of 38, she missed being creative and with a desire to pursue an arts degree, enrolled in the general arts program at Langara College. “Art school was interesting. Some of the drawing components were visually challenging said Moran. “I couldn’t figure out the way the lines were going. I just thought I was a bad artist.” At the age of 43, after successful completing her degree, Moran was diagnosed with dyslexia. “My work reflects how my mind works. [Art] keeps me grounded and allows me to share what I see, taking things out of contexts, because that’s how I see,” she explained. Moran’s heavily layered work for the Dancers exhibit began with colour on the canvas, and evolved with the strong impact of Indian ink applied with butcher’s twine. The process is something inspired by music, light and movement, she said. “Art resonates with me as a person. If I had to stop, it would be difficult. “Collectively, [the exhibit] is the essence of It’s who I am as a person,” Moran said. dance captured in several ideas. The art“The ability to create ists have captured the energy of dance.” and share with people DIANE MORAN is important. It is a way to heal and educate people.” The Flagstop Gallery is open weekends and holidays throughout the summer, 12 to 4 p.m. with the finale Paint-In set on Labour Day. Other artists who are members of FLAG and involved in the current Dancers exhibit, include: Robin Bandenieks, Julie Bourne, Carmel Clare, David Ediger, Kathleen Gaitt, Margo Harrison, Beverly Lawrence, Yvonne Nelson, Candice Perry, Dale Sharp, Evelyn Smith, Lori Standen, Deborah Strong, and Diane Zepeski.

Langley bands form double bill

Default and Yuca are putting on a concert next Thursday.

Photo contributed

omegrown talent that’s making a splash in the music world returns to perform for a local audience next Thursday. Langley band Default – with hits like Wasting My Time, Deny and Count on Me, and the band Yuca, which also calls Langley home, are both on the marquee at the Langley Events Centre for Sept. 9. What audiences will get is an evening of rock from two local talents. Since forming in 1999, Default has sold more than one million records and will come to Langley fresh off a performance at the Kentucky State Fair. The band – made up of Dallas Smith on vocals, guitarist Jeremy Hora, Dave Benedict on bass guitar, and Danny Craig playing drums – is about more than making hits. The members have travelled to be hotspots to entertain. Default was on Team Canada, a group of musicians, celebrities and athletes who went to Afghanistan in the spring to visit the troops. They also performed for US troops in South Korea. Opening for Default is Yuca, which was just named one of the top 20 bands from the recent

Members of the band Yuca (above) will be dried off when the band opens the Sept. 9 show. Default (left) has spent much of 2010 touring, coming to the Langley Events Centre. Peak Performance Project. The bandmates were also 99.3FM Vancouver SEEDS platinum award winners and were even chosen to rock Whistler during 2010 Olympic events and at Robson Square festivities. “We were honoured to be a part of something so global and to look back and say that we were able to not only be there but perform for the games – how cool is that?” said singer Matt

Borck. In Yuca Borck handles lead vocals and rhythm guitar while bassist Andy Boldt and Justin Havinga on lead guitar fuse with the drums of Dave Atkinson. Despite 350 tour dates notched into their resumes, Yuca members continue to place an emphasis on touring and live performance, hitting the road again this year.

Too cool for school The Langley Events Centre is offering concert-goers a deal on entertainment. Those who purchase premium tickets to the NCAA TWU Spartans game Sept. 3 or the Langley Chiefs home opener Sept. 11 can get the Back to School Celebration special that entitles them to catch the Default/Yuca show. At the Chiefs match against the Surrey Eagles next Saturday, the national athem will be sung by Canadian music legend Bobby Curtola. The tickets are $25 for adults (18-64) and $20 for young people and seniors for the NCAA basketball or the Chiefs game. Tickets can be had at the LEC box office or www. langleytickets.com.

Arts in brief

All that’s asked for is a donation The next concert is Tuesday. Tinkerbell auditions begin

ormer Toronto entertainer, moved west, Luke Isaac is making a return performance at Food Bank Tuesday next week. Isaac is aboriginal musician who performed at the July FBT, in the plaza next to McBurneys Coffee and Tea House, explained organizer Eli Bryan. “Without exaggeration, his performance, musicianship, and presence was stellar,” Bryan said. “His songs are very, very good, and his guitar artistry is unquestionable – a cut above most really good musicians.” Food Bank Tuesday is an informal monthly concert series hosted in Eli Bryan downtown Langley City and designed to raise money and food for the Langley Food Bank. The night typically features a number of local musicians. September’s event (always the first Tuesday of every month) will also feature Alyssa Nielsen, Ron Irving, Joe Given, Michael Vincent, and Eli Bryan, along with accompanists Paul Armitage on keyboards and Mark Dobbs on percussion. “It will be a very interesting and totally musical night,” Bryan said. “As usual, we’re only asking for people to bring a donation of dollars or non-perishables for our food bank.” The next concert is at McBurney’s coffee house, 20504 Fraser Hwy. from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7.

t’s not just Tinkerbell, but the entire cast of characters created by J.M. Barrie in his classic tale Peter Pan who are needed next week. Gallery 7 Theatre and Performing Arts is gearing up for its fall production, and holding open auditions Thursday, said the gallery’s artistic director Ken Hildebrandt. Gallery 7 is Abbotsford’s only full-time, community/semi-professional theatre. And gearing up for its 20th year, this organization attracts a lot of Langley and Aldergrove actors, Hildebrandt explained. Community performers ages 16 years and older are invited to be part of the classic adventure by auditioning for a role on Thursday, Sept. 9, starting at 6:30 p.m. The production will feature 10 men and women, some playing multiple roles and a total of 18 characters, Hildebrandt said. “British accents will be used, and creativity and the ability to play will be a requirement of all performers,” he added. “Dance and movement experience, along with singing ability, are assets – but not a necessity.” This show runs Nov. 12 through 27, with all performances and rehearsals at the MEI Theatre in Abbotsford. Peter Pan rehearsals under the direction of Eldon Letkeman (he directed last year’s Around the World in 80 Days), will begin Sept. 13, and occur Mondays, Wednesday, and Thursdays from 6 to 10 p.m. Anyone interested in auditioning is asked to sign up ahead of time by calling Gallery 7 at 604-504-5940, or emailing: info@gallery7theatre.com.

Tips to help kids study smarter

doing yours: balance your chequebook, pay your bills or immerse yourself in a book. Help your children identify difficult and easy homework tasks and get them to tackle the most difficult subjects first. Secondary students: Continue with an established homework routine. Encourage teenagers to take 20 minutes each night to read over their notes from that day or rewrite them using colours to highlight important information so they retain it longer. Have your children take a break every 10 minutes to help alleviate eye, neck, and brain fatigue while studying. This will help them be more productive and retain more of what they read and study. Encourage your teenagers to explore magazines or appropriate websites on subjects that interest them to keep them reading. Don’t overlook the public library. Keep an assignment calendar on the fridge with due dates and exam times.

Primary students: Let your children see you read, and set aside time each day for family reading. Ask your children to read to you while you prepare a meal. Get your children excited about reading by taking turns reading pages or acting out characters. Talk to your children about what they read. Ask them questions that require them to read between the lines and think about what they have just read. This will help improve their reading comprehension. Introduce your children to a variety of literary genres and see which one they most enjoy. Help your children get a library card and take weekly trips with them to the library. Intermediate/middle students: Set up a daily homework routine. Designate a homework area away from distractions like the television and internet, and with adequate lighting and supplies. Reinforce strong study habits by also

Post-secondary education

Start of university has one mother reflecting on change As my child leaves for university… by Karly Paul-Morris Special to the Langley Advance The date on the calendar reminds me that the time is drawing near. I have dreaded these days for years. It is time for my child to leave our home and begin a life of his own. Karly Paul-Morris I worry Adam is somehow too mother young to move away and I question life’s so-called “natural progression.” I had a life, got married and had two children. I think of the first five years of each of their lives as a complete blur. Night after night of non-sleeping and if I’m not mistaken, I’ve come full circle. The elementary school years flew by with PAC meetings, cross-country races and sleep-overs with old and new friends. The high school years accelerated in lightning speed with the grand finale of dancing with my son at the grad dinner/dance. My son and I will soon be standing together at a fork in the road. One direction leads me back to my home, which I have always known and loved. The other path is for my son to walk alone. He’s off to study engineering at UBC, and doesn’t appear to be afraid so logic tells me, why should I? How have the years gone by so quickly? I’m reminded of the play, Our Town, where the young girl watches in dismay at her Karly Paul-Morris is sending family’s existence in a day of her son off to university. their ordinary lives. She cries out, “Take me back, take me back! Please give me one more day [and 18 years] to live again.” How could I have allowed all these years to slip through my fingers without fully appreciating my life with my child? There will no longer be weekend nights of wondering what time my child will be coming home. There will no longer be quick errands that can’t possible wait till the next morning. I won’t miss the gas tank in the car registering empty and waiting for me to fill or feeling guilty when asking to borrow my own car. I won’t miss rinsing the dirty dishes and putting them into the dishwasher. I don’t know how many times I’ve reminded him, more than I care to remember. I will no longer need to push the den coffeetable back into place after he has used it for a meal. I won’t miss seeing the clothes on his bedroom floor waiting for me to pick up and wash (Lord knows I made a big mistake on this one) or notice his bed that hasn’t been made for years, (okay, so I made up for it here.) I won’t miss hurrying to take a shower so he wouldn’t be late for school or waiting till the bathroom is free while he does who knows what in there. I won’t miss waking up in the middle of the night wondering if the sound of the back door opening was only my imagination.

And maybe if I remind myself of all these things I won’t miss, I’ll be able to convince myself that this is nature’s way. You have grown up right before my eyes and I am truly proud of you. And so my dear child, I will miss you. I will miss you more than you will ever know.

It is said that there is no stronger love than between a mother and her child. You have taught me well and I can only hope that you have learned from me. Your wings are set for flight. Soar high my child, with love...

Driving while using a handheld cell phone isn’t just illegal. It’s dangerous. Twenty-ﬁve per cent of vehicle crashes each year can be attributed to drivers being distracted. The number one cause of distraction? Wireless electronic devices, such as cell phones. Driving demands your full attention. When you’re behind the wheel, anything that competes with your attention impairs your driving ability and increases your chance of being in a crash. Remember – a distracted driver is a dangerous driver. Find out more at drivecellsafe.ca.

SAFETY TIPS

Whether you’re doing the daily commute, seeing the sights while on vacation, or just running to the neighbourhood grocery store to shop, there are things you can do to help make our roads safer. Here are some of ICBC’s smart driving tips:

Plan ahead: Beginning September 20th, police in B.C. will be armed with Canada’s toughest laws and penalties to get impaired drivers off the roads faster and for longer. Make plans to have a designated driver. Remember – a true designated driver is a person who decides not to drink. Period.

2. Focus: Studies show that drivers who talk on a cellphone lose about

50 per cent of what’s going on around them, visually, and are four times more likely to get into a crash. If you need to take the call, use a hands-free device and keep the conversation brief. Find more tips at drivecellsafe.ca

3. Be realistic: …about your travel times and check road conditions #130-7888 200th

604-882-3151

www.rich-coleman.com

before you leave. Check drivebc.com for possible highway closures, especially over the long weekend when more vehicles will be on the road. If you’re going to be later than you expected – deal with it.

Slow down and keep your distance: Slow down, especially if we get some unexpected rain, or if you’re driving on uneven roads. Weaving in and out of trafﬁc is one of the top ﬁve high-risk behaviours that cause car crashes. Even with a lot of sunshine and favourable road conditions, you need to allow at least two seconds of following distance, and at least three seconds on high-speed roads. The latter also applies if you’re behind a motorcycle since it has a much shorter stopping distance.

5. Buckle up: If you don’t wear your seatbelt, you are 25 times more

Seatbelts are the law in B.C. for everyone over 9 years old or 145 cm (4’9”) tall. Children under 12 should be seated in the rear seat of the vehicle, and drivers are responsible for ensuring everyone under 16 is properly secured. Each year in B.C., an average of 1,400 children under age nine are injured and four are killed in crashes. Every time a child travels as a passenger in a vehicle, they are at risk of being involved in a collision. Research shows that a correctly used child safety seat reduces the risk of fatality by 71 per cent and the risk of serious injury by 67 per cent. A child who is not properly restrained can be ejected from the vehicle or thrown around the vehicle, resulting in significant injuries or death. Booster seats are for children: Over 18 kg (40 lb.) and required until at least 9 years old or 145 cm (4’9”) tall, whichever comes first. Children may remain in a forward-facing car seat with a five-point harness if allowed by the manufacturer’s weight or height limit.

Benny Pressman spontaneously ran up to Clifford the Big Red Dog and planted a big hug on the mascot, while other children danced after a recent Literacy4kids story time at The Little Gym. Zosia Ettenberg and Rumour (inset) joined in the story time, teaching kids about what working dogs do.

Literacy4kids

Story time fuels kids love of reading

new non-profit society is in the making that will bring monthly story-time events to Langley. In fact, Literacy4kids – while still not a formal society – has been offering free story times once a month for a year, with a professional story-teller and special guests, said founder Sherri-Lee Pressman. Back in July, for instance, story time featured the reading of a Clifford the Dog book. Pressman invited the Clifford mascot and Langley’s own Zosia Ettenberg and her canine companion Rumour, from the Pacific Association Dog Society, to demonstrate for the kids what a working dog can do.

“I love seeing how much the kids enjoy the story times, and the fact that the numbers are growing and people come back each month means this is something people are liking,” said Pressman, who noted this Saturday’s guest will be Tigger. Her future goals with Literacy4kids include hosting larger literacy events and creating a book swap, where the kids can bring gently used books and trade for a new book donated from a sponsor. The used book would then be donated to a charity, such as the Boys and Girls Club. The next story time is set for Sept. 11, at 2:30 p.m., The Little Gym, #5-6233 200th St.

Kelowna-bound home up for grabs

Langley’s own Britco Structures has built the ninth consecutive house to be raffled off at the end of the summer fair.

“We wanted to create a place where people could enjoy a big feast,” Faliszewski said. But it’s the den with floor-to-ceiling book shelves and a mobile ladder that is particularly meaningful to him. It was inspired by his 15-year-old daughter Bella, who is an avid reader. Faliszewski admitted that his wife Lidia seemed to like last year’s $1.3million craftsman-style home best. But he likes the environmentally conscious aspects of this year’s house. The 2009 home used solar panels. But describing himself as a more practical man, he’s excited that the 2010 prize home will be the first to incorporate a geo-thermal heating and cooling system. Last year, he said, they drew power from the skies. This year, they’ve turned to the ground. What’s in the cards for 2011, if Britco is selected to build the 10th prize home in a row? This house was built in Britco’s indoor plant in Agassiz just prior to the Olympics in February. People are continually astonished to learn that the home was built completely off-site, Faliszewski said. continued on page A31…

om Faliszewski would happily move his wife and their three children into the 3,100-square-foot he recently helped build. Too bad he’s disqualified from buying a ticket. Faliszewski is the project manager for Langley’s own Britco Structures, and once again, he oversaw design, construction, and assembly of the PNE Prize Home. While he has liked aspects of all nine prize homes that Britco has built for the Pacific National Exhibition annual fair raffle, he seems particularly enamoured with this year’s home. “This house has a nice, practical layout.

0,000 opium poppies in Chilliwack understandably brought Papaver somniferum into public focus – but the seed of the double-flowered form has long been sold for ornamental use, and many of us have some in our gardens. Their frilly, pom-pom blooms are pretty, and their seed heads are decorative in dried flower arrangements. Toasted, the seed (said to contain few alkaloids) has a spicy flavour that’s tasty in meals and baked goods. Flower colours include lilac, deep purple, white, maroon, yellow, scarlet, pink, and striped. The lacinated flower form is widely sought-after. There’s a variety with enormous seed heads, and another in which little seed heads cluster around a larger one. It’s a hugely prolific seeder, but only a few seeds seem to survive composting. The toxicity of individual plants varies, from as little as one per cent morphine content, up to 10 per cent. In ages long gone, the plant spanned medicine as well as magic. In medieval times, it was an ingredient in an anaesthetic sponge that helped patients sleep

through painful procedures. Other components included ivy, mandrake, and herbaceous hemlock. As with other forms of medicine, the length of the effect (ranging from full recovery to death) depended on skill in using the most minute quantities. P. somniferum is also reputed to be one of the ingredients in the “flying ointment” of medieval witches. Other elements are said to be aconitum, belladonna, foxglove, hellebore root, poison hemlock, and mandrake. All are poisonous. Many apparently innocent plants in our gardens are very toxic. Some of them (or synthetic copies of the active ingredient) are still used in medicine. Digitalis (for heart conditions) is one, as are infin-

itely tiny doses of aconitum. Both are far too dangerous to be touched without medical supervision. One warning signal telling gardeners to be cautious is when contact with a plant produces dermatitis. I banished aconitum from my garden after a stalk brushed over my face and produced a sore red welt which lasted for several hours. Handling seed of toxic plants can be dicey, especially since it’s almost impossible to wear gardening gloves for this task. Prolonged contact with hellebore seed has produced very sore fingers with me. Almost nothing eats some plants that can cause skin problems, for instance bluebells, scilla, daffodils, narcissus, euphorbia, and daphnes. But that’s not always a reliable guide. Slugs will eat things that nothing else will touch, including rhubarb leaves and the soft capsules of daphne seeds. In winter, hungry deer browse on ivy and holly. It’s also useful to remember that birds will eat berries that would kill humans. In some birds, the seeds go through the digestive system unscathed.

Word on builder of 2011 home imminent …continued from page A29 Construction took about six weeks, then six large components were loaded onto trucks and moved to the exhibition grounds in Vancouver in March. It was completely assembled in May with ticket sales starting in June. This year’s prize home, like the one won last year by Langley’s Maureen and Larry McKinneylast, will be relocated to Kelowna after the fair. Its final roost is on a rocky hillside in the Kirschner Mountain development, overlooking the Okanagan Valley. “We’ll take six pre-constructed components, move them up to Kelowna, and knit them back together on site,” Faliszewski said, expecting this year’s lucky winners will be able to move in before Christmas. Britco is Western Canada’s largest designer and manufacturer of commercial, industrial, institutional, and some residential structures. “Even though we don’t typically take on single-family homes like this, it allows us to show what is possible through our form of construction,” Faliszewski said. “It gets our name out there, and shows what’s possible with our technology.” “For Britco, the PNE prize home is an excellent opportunity to highlight the innovation, flexibility and quality of modular manufacturing’s building

technology,” said company’s executive vice-president Chris Gardner. “The ability to assemble the PNE prize home in Vancouver and disassemble, transport and reassemble the home in Kelowna, underscores one of the most compelling features of modular buildings – their flexibility and their reusability,” Gardner added. Britco’s modular manufacturing approach to building construction has garnered the local company a lot of attention in recent years, including a significant partnership with the 2010 Winter Games. Britco was contracted to build a 100-room lodge and a 20-unit townhouse complex to accommodate Olympic athletes staying in the

Whistler Athletes Village during the Olympics, which has won the company some industry accolades. The prize home, as well as those athlete accommodations, and all of Britco’s other modular units are built in Britco’s two manufacturing plants in Agassiz and Penticton, while the head office is located in Langley. Between the three operations, Gardner said the company employs about 250 people. Faliszewski hopes to hear in the next few days if the Britco team will be building the 2011 PNE Prize Home. In the meantime, tickets are still on sale until Monday, Sept. 6 at 11 p.m. onsite at the PNE, online at www.pne. ca, or by calling 604-252-3688.

Music

School choir scoops gold

hursday night was a very auspicious occasion for members of the Langley Fine Arts Chamber Choir. The group, under the tutelage of music teacher Jim Sparks, was presented with a National Music Festival Award – proving they’re the best in the country. Sparks received a call in early August informing him that the school choir had achieved something “pretty great.” They won a top honour from the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals annual awards competition. In the National Music Festival Award’s category of best performance by a choral group from a single school (students aged 19 and younger), they earned first place. And as Sparks tells it, it was a long road. The choir first won the right to compete at the provincial Festival of the Arts after being nominated from the local Kiwanis Fraser Valley Festival by adjudicator Gail Suderman. That competition was by recording, and supervised to verify the recording was a “one-take” no editing production. By winning the provincial title, the Langley choir earned the right to represent B.C. at the National Music Festival. Again, the competition was judged from a recording. At the beginning of last month, Sparks received the news that he and the kids had beat out their closest contenders from the Holy Heart Chamber Choir in Newfoundland. Sparks travelled to Montreal in mid-August to receive the award, and on Sept. 2 the students gathered for a congratulatory celebration and a chance to see and share their prize. “So as we approach another school year, there is a story here that deserves to be celebrated,” Sparks said. “There are a great many people who have had a hand into the success of this choir.”

Junior A hockey

Chiefs bench boss backs anti-bullying initiative The British Columbia Hockey League is cracking down on unnecessary violence and bullying. by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com

Bullying stops here. The B.C. Hockey League is one of five leagues within the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) trying to eliminate bullying from junior A hockey. This initiative developed from a partnership between the BCHL, Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL), Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL), Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL), and Maritime Junior Hockey League (MHL), which joined together to create the Junior A Supplement, which will be launched as a pilot project during the 2010/11 season. The Junior A Supplement protects junior-aged hockey players by cracking down on: • blows to the head and dangerous bodychecks such as blindside hits, clipping (low) hits,

late hits, checking from behind, and players leaving their feet to check opponents; • repeated goaltender interference; • unnecessary and “staged” fighting, goaltenders who fight each other, and multiple fights during stoppages of play; and • players who have accumulated major penalties and misconducts, and who instigate fights. The Supplement increases team, coach, and player accountability through the tracking of repeat offenders, increased suspensions, and significant financial penalties.

Langley Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl promotes “Chiefs hockey,” which is high tempo, aggressive, and in-your-face. Smyl welcomes the Supplement. “The habitual fighting, and staged fighting and all those kind of things… [the initiative] will eliminate a lot of crap, which I am so happy about,” he said. Smyl advocates intense, physical hockey, which may lead to the “Staged occasional fighting fight. is “So, say, you and I are ruining battling in the the corner. You elbow game.” me in the Harvey Smyl face, I elbow you back, and then it’s boom, boom, go [fight],” he said, laying out a scenario. “What I want to get rid of, is the guy who sits on the bench and plays his three minutes a game.

Langley Chiefs defenceman Tyler Miller squared off against Surrey Eagles rearguard Derek Henderson during a 2010 BCHL playoff game at the Langley Events Centre in March. Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl believes in aggressive hockey, but abhors “staged” or preplanned fights. Langley Advance files

Then there’s a faceoff, he taps someone on the shin, and they line up and fight. That’s got to go. Staged fighting is ruining the game. That’s what’s ruining the game.” Smyl believes in tough hockey, where players battle for the puck and position. These one-on-one, emotional battles may lead to the odd fight but Smyl said, “that’s better than turning around and slashing someone.”

The pilot project was developed as a response to Hockey Canada Regulation 6.7, which calls for an automatic game misconduct whenever a major penalty for fighting is assessed. The participating leagues will not be subject to Hockey Canada Regulation 6.7, which will be implemented across the rest of the CJHL. • More online at www.langleyadvance.com, click on “Sports”

Beach volleyball

TWU connection golden Spartans past and future starred on the sand.

Close call Referee Colby Smith ducked for cover as Langley Chiefs centre Kody Dhaliwal came in hard on Surrey Eagles defenceman Derek Henderson during British Columbia Hockey League exhibition action Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. The Chiefs and Eagles open the BCHL regular season against each other next Friday (Sept. 10) at South Surrey Arena.

Trinity Western men’s volleyball, both past and present, proved golden on the sand Sunday as both incoming Spartan Nick Del Bianco and former Spartan Chaim Schalk celebrated national championships in their respective divisions. The two players with TWU connections were involved in the 2010 Beach Volleyball National Championships at Ashbridges’ Bay in Toronto. Del Bianco and partner Ben Chow won the U18 Boys Division while Schalk, playing with Martin Reader, took home the Senior Men’s Div. 1 title.

After a summer playing alongside Toronto’s Garrett May as Canada’s top U19 team – which included a fourth place finish at the FIVB World Youth Championships – Del Bianco rejoined Chow for nationals and the chemistry was instantly rekindled. The B.C.-based tandem ran through the three-day event by winning all 18 sets while cruising to a perfect 9-0 record that was capped by a 21-16, 21-15 win over Aaron Nusbaum and Grant O’Gorman in the gold medal match. As for Schalk, the route to the final wasn’t nearly as smooth, but the golden result was the same. continued on page A35…

After losing to Maverick Hatch/ Jessi Lelliott and Ryan Vandenburg/ Andrew Hinchey in the round robin, Schalk and Reader exacted revenge on both teams in the playoffs as they steamrolled to the gold medal

game without dropping a set, a run that included a win over former Spartan Steven Marshall who was playing with Ben Saxton. In the final, Schalk and Reader took on fellow national team members Richard Van Huizen and Chris Redmann and knocked them off in straight sets (21-14 and 26-24) to win the national title.

North Langley Bears junior bantam quarterback Darian Pritchard was all smiles after helping his team finish on top of its division at the Sun God Tournament last weekend.

Come by & see us

41 AVE.

The junior bantam squad held its three opponents scoreless in three games. The North Langley Bears junior bantam football team went unbeaten at the Sun God Tournament in North Delta last weekend. Powered by tough defence and the two-pronged quarterback attack of Darian Pritchard and Kenzie Orum, the junior bantam Bears finished first in their division for the second year in a row. The team played three games Sunday, battling Richmond to a scoreless tie, and blanking Chilliwack 6-0 and North Delta 18-0. Bantam Bears Football being a game of inches certainly applied to the Bears’ fortunes Sunday during the Sun God tourney. The Bears only lost once but had to settle for fourth spot after losing 6-0 to North Delta, tying Richmond 6-6, and playing Westside to a 6-6 draw. North Langley’s lone touchdown against Richmond came as a result of a long pass from David Fredo to Michael Chan, who ran the ball more than 20 yards into the endzone after the catch.

Goalkeeper Andrew Kowan and the Trinity Western University men’s soccer team put an exclamation mark on their first win of the 2010 preseason. Playing on the road Monday in La Mirada, Calf. the Spartans knocked off the NAIA No. 8-ranked Biola University Eagles 1-0 on their home pitch at Al Barbour Field. The loss for Biola in its home opener was the first in nine seasons as the Eagles had been 7-0-2 in their previous nine such matches. The last loss was a 2-1 overtime defeat to cross-town foe Whittier College in 2001. Monday’s win improves the Spartans to 1-3-0, while the loss drops the Eagles to 0-1. “We had a much better performance today. Our passing was better and we did a better job of control-

ling their play. For the most part, we outplayed them and out-chanced them; the only thing that we didn’t do was really outscore them,” TWU head coach Pat Rohla said, after the game. “Overall we had a greater appetite to play and psychologically it is a good win for us.” Rookie midfielder Chase Wickham got Trinity Western on the board early, scoring on a tough-angle shot in the 17th minute to put the visitors up 1-0. Biola had 10 corner kicks and recorded 14 shots during the match, but was unable to get one past Kowan, who recorded six saves for his first clean sheet of the year. At the other end of the pitch, the Spartans had five corner kicks and sent 14 shots towards the Eagles net. Three of the four shots on target were stopped by Biola’s Aaron Fenlason. The Eagles had three corner kicks and as many free kicks within 25 yards in the first half, but could not convert on their opportunities.

Kowan made three saves in the first 16 minutes before the Spartans opening goal, including stopping a blast by Eagles’ sniper Marco Ruvalcaba from 20 yards out in the 11th minute. In the 21st minute, the Eagles had a great chance to score after a Spartans foul just outside of the box. Biola’s Tony Montalvo stepped into the free kick and sent a shot toward the goal. Kowan made a spectacular leaping save, barely pushing the ball over the bar. After halftime, the Eagles had a few more chances including another free kick from just outside of the box. Again Montalvo blasted the ball up near the crossbar, only to see the Spartans ’keeper push it aside with a great leap. The Spartans’ next match is their Canada West conference opener today (Friday) when they will travel to Point Grey to play the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds. • More online at: www.langleyadvance.com, click on “Sports”

Gloria was born on February 14, 1955 in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. Following the death of her father Haig Ouzounian in 1960, the family moved to London, Ontario where she had many fond childhood memories. The family moved to Vancouver’s Point Grey district in 1972 where Gloria completed high school, then attended UBC, getting her Bachelor of Education degree. She went on to teaching, her ﬁrst year in Houston, BC, the remaining years with the Coquitlam school district. She married Jim on May 28, 1988, moving to North Delta where she gave birth to Jeremy on February 8, 1993, after which they moved to the Walnut Grove area of Langley. Despite her gradually declining health Gloria fought relentlessly for causes related to their son’s autism. She will be missed and will remain in our hearts forever. A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, September 14 at 2:00 pm at Sharon United Church, 21562 Old Yale Rd. Langley.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The romance planets have been in your partnership and opportunity sign since early August. They leave soon (Venus Sept. 8, Mars Sept. 14). If you’re unattached, this could be your last chance for a while to find romance (with someone already met?). If you’ve recently formed an attraction, the weeks ahead could deepen it, bringing intimacy and questions of commitment. You’re having second thoughts about work, and the choices you’ve made. What to do? It’s best just to work, period, at whatever. Don’t sweat decisions. This is an easy, smooth, romantic, inspired week! Taurus April 20-May 20: The emphasis lies on romance, beauty, pleasure, creativity, speculation, successful risk. You’re on a winning streak, especially Tuesday/Wednesday and Saturday! (Other four days: tackle practicalities.) Your social life will meet luck and expanding popularity from this week to next January. And better: starting this week and next, romantic opportunities turn to partnership opportunities, through November. Singles among you are in for a great time (unless you’re chained to the couch). Remember, start nothing before Sept. 12: if someone enters before this, hopefully he/she’s a former flame. Gemini May 21-June 20: Remember, start nothing new before Sept. 12. That said, your romantic prospects, high for the last month, remain that way until the 14th. But time is running out. If you have your eye on two or three people (or one) make your bid (Sunday/Monday or, better, Thursday/Friday). Someone with whom you’ve shared love before is better than someone new. Saturday shows you what awaits for the rest of 2010: work, career, ambition, health concerns. Midweek (Tuesday/Wednesday) pay attention to home, kids, nature, real estate: a new project might start, with a former situation or object.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Pay attention to details, addresses: mistakes are possible. You could ﬁnd old letters, emails from long ago. Siblings re-connect. Avoid major new starts before Sept. 12. An Augustlong inﬂuence of domestic friction will ebb soon, leading to romance, beauty, acceptance, creative work and general joy in life! (Might start this week, or early next.) Wednesday begins an autumn of success and luck in legal, educational, international, love and cultural spheres, especially if you work at them. Chase money/shop Sunday/Monday. Attend to home, kids late week. Romance Saturday! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Start nothing big before Sept. 12, especially in earnings, purchasing and possessions – but a “renewed” start on an old project/venture might be slated midweek. All week, a former casual sensual relationship is good, a new one not. Your energy and charisma shine Sunday/ Monday. Travel, friends, communications have been lucky and intriguing the last few weeks – and are again, Thursday/Friday. But this promising area will ebb, recede soon – a powerful, perhaps romantic domestic situation will replace it. Are you ready for commitment? Saturday holds clues – in your neighbourhood. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Rest Sunday/Monday. Your charisma, energy and luck soar Tuesday/Wednesday! (And all month.) Continue to avoid big new starts before Sept. 12. Apply your high spirits to ongoing projects and relationships, or those that return from the past. You’ve had a nice ”money run” for a month or so (in which you’ve probably reduced your bank account by lax/optimistic spending) – this ends soon, so start tightening up. (Wait until Sept. 14 onward to create a budget.) There will be many reasons to spend during the six-seven weeks ahead: travel will call, perhaps via siblings. Job inspiration Thursday!

www.canamauctions.com

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing brand new and important before Sept. 12. A romantic link or creative opportunity inspires this whole week, especially Thursday eve through Friday night. If you’ve wanted to contact an old flame, this is the time to do so. (Best Sunday/Monday or Thursday/Friday.) Also great for working on film, creative chores, etc. (And for health, sanitation regimes neglected for a while.) Your romantic clout/attractiveness, high since early August, is about to ebb mildly (though it still supports sensual relationships nicely through November) so don’t delay. Rest, government, therapy midweek. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Wishes could come true, especially ones you formed long ago – and especially Tuesday/Wednesday. Remember, start nothing new and significant before Sept. 12. Your career, ambitions and prestige relations demand attention (and reward it) Sunday/Monday. Midweek thrills with social joys, flirtations, entertainment, popularity and high hopes! Retreat for a breather Thursday/Friday. (All week, especially during this “breather,” problems magically dissolve. Your energy and charisma surge back Saturday. Soon, very soon, your romantic magnetism will rise – for four months! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: This week and next, the high hopes of August ebb into the “forming stage” – where you’ll contemplate them, plan, adjust to give them a path or room to grow, nurture them, etc. (Leave the planning part until next week.) Mostly, those hopes involve(d) romance, creative projects, pleasure, social situations, gatherings, an organization, and work or health. A meeting and/ or conversation this week could inspire or inform you luckily about one of these hopes, especially Thursday/Friday. Earlier, Sunday/Monday are gentle, wise. Be ambitious, friendly with higher-ups Tuesday/ Wednesday.

Sept. 5 - Sept. 11 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Despite mistakes, delays and other irritants, life remains mellow, gentle, loving. Your understanding and compassion flow. But don’t start new ventures before Sept. 12, especially in legal, far travel, publishing, insurance, statistical and cultural areas. It’s a great week for studying history or classical works (or your own family trees/ skeletons). You might receive a great idea about real estate, home, children, security or “Mother Nature” – let it percolate. Big finances, life’s mysteries and subconscious desires rise Sunday/Monday. Ambition, late week. Happiness, social joys Saturday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Lots of dealings with others this week. (Remember, in all this, don’t start new ventures or new relationships before Sept. 12: delve into ongoing or past ones.) Sunday/Monday can bring exciting meetings, opportunities – and the need for diplomacy. Secrets, mysteries circle you Tuesday/Wednesday. Delve deep – you could solve a psychological puzzle, find the money, or grow more intimate with someone. Legal, far travel, educational, publishing, cultural and love matters arise Thursday/ Friday. These are building a long-term “base” for ambition, worldly position (as Saturday hints). Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Relationships, partnerships, enemies and allies, opportunities and obstacles, potential fame, the public, negotiations, litigation, relocation – one or more of these fills the two weeks ahead. A new project or venture might begin here Tuesday/Wednesday. For safety and success, focus on “renewed” starts. Temptation in some form (sex, money/greed) has tickled your interest since early August (and does again Thursday/Friday). Soon, these lures will fade, to be replaced by a lucky, gentle, wise romantic urge. Saturday shows an early clue. Your financial intuition is correct this week. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

History

Everything old is new again at museum

The museum that houses the largest collection of pioneer and agricultural memorabilia in the province has come up with a new idea about its old things. The BC Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum is hosting Old and New Day. The event linking past and present takes place Sept. 6. The museum has an extensive collection of tractors. For Old and New Day, the vintage pieces will be paired up with their modern counterparts, with new models being provided for display by local tractor dealerships. There will also be old and new autos on display courtesy of collectors and auto dealers, respectively. The Lions Gate & Pacific Model A Clubs will feature their vehicles. Members of the Valley Antique Engine Club will be operating their engines for people to see. Aldor Acres will have some of its little furry friends there for the petting zoo. Fresh cooked corn and pop will be for sale as well. The activities take place 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the museum at 9131 King St., and admission is by donation. For more information, call 604888-2273. The farm museum is open seven days a week between April and Thanksgiving. Run by volunteers since 1990, the museum was started in 1953.

The BC Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum has teamed up with local dealers to showcase tractors and cars from the museum collection alongside their newest cousins for Old and New Day Sept. 6. The Labour Day event will also feature food, activities and the chance to see all the pioneer items the museum has collected over decades. BC Farm Museum photos

block. Drivers should make a mental note of school zone speed limits back in effect. When school is in session, motorists driving in school zones may go no faster than 30 km/h between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Be mindful of school buses and remember, the law requires drivers to stop for school buses when their red lights are flashing. Langley RCMP Speed Watch – a partnership between volunteers, police and ICBC – will focus its efforts on school zones in September. As motorists drive by the radar equipment, it displays their speed. Pay close attention; if they are exceeding the limit, there may be a police officer nearby. • Read more online at www.langleyadvance.com. Click on “Life”

know how to safely navigate their way across a roadway by using a designated crosswalk. Also, avoid double parking by stopping and unloading in nondesignated parking/drop off zones. Do not block buses or use designated bus only areas for dropping off or picking up children. Do not park inside or over a designated crosswalk or pass a stopped vehicle that is allowing pedestrians to cross the street. Learn the traffic patterns at the school and be courteous to other drivers, obeying the directions of crossing guards. Children exiting vehicles should also be careful when opening doors, and whenever possible, they should exit on the curb side of the vehicle. Always discourage children from crossing the road in the middle of the

Jessie Magnusson has wielded a stop sign at the corner of 35th Avenue and 200th Street for 20 years. “This’ll be coming into my 21st year,” the Langley school crossing guard said. She’s watched over children crossing 200th since her own kids attended Noel Booth Elementary, and she continued to do the job after they had graduated and grown up. Magnusson said she finds most drivers are careful of the children crossing local roads – though there are always a few exceptions. The Langley RCMP and ICBC have tips for parents and drivers as the school year begins again. With the start of a new school year just around the corner, it is timely to remind Langley residents of a few safety tips for driving in our neighbourhoods. Vehicle, pedestrian, bicycle and school bus safety are all important topics parents should review with their children. With regards to vehicle safety, parents dropping off their children should avoid parking on the opposite side of the street from the school. If this is unavoidable, ensure children
