Velissa Johnson loved pre-tending to talk on her play phone and with eight older siblings always had someone to play with.

The big spirit of the two-and-a-half year old Langley girl is gone. The small girl was found dead on the evening of Feb. 6 after a pond on the family’s rural five-acre property was drained Saturday. She had wan-dered off from playing outdoors with other kids during the after-noon.

“Unfortunately water holds a certain attraction to chil-dren and this is a case of a moment’s inattention,” Langley RCMP Sgt. Garth Huziak.

Velissa was the subject of a search that involved RCMP, Fraser Valley Search and Rescue, the fire depart-ment, RCMP Air 1, and BC Ambulance, along with many others who know the family and even strangers.

Since the tragedy, the family felt the need to reach out to all those who helped them during what could only be described as a nightmare.

“All the support has been amazing,” said Elliot, the older brother, on behalf of the family.

Soon word spread about a child missing.

“Neighbours, people walking by, church family, and people

that stopped while driving, all helped to look along the road, in the ditches and on neigh-bours’ properties,” he said. “Soon search and rescue were here, I think there were two or three of them, then three fire

trucks, two normal ones, and a pumper truck. On top of that, were maybe eight to 10 police cruisers. Absolutely incredible the team work, and promptness of their arrival, and methods.”

He said a Victim Services offi-

cer came quickly.“Her presence, and profes-

sional yet caring attitude, was greatly appreciated,” he added.

Members of the Johnson’s church family came to the house, helping as they could.

“Then two officers came in, both woman, and took state-ments from everyone. They were so patient, and kind, and were so good with interviewing the younger kids, asking them in ways that their answers would actually be of help.”

A service for Velissa is sched-uled for Saturday at the Rose of Sharon Baptist Church at 1 p.m.

“We know her spirit is in heaven with Jesus, and only her body is left here on earth. We look forward to seeing her again,” he said.

The family wanted to thank the emergency responders that showed up so quickly for doing such a hard job, working in the dark, and for finding her.

“If we never had any answers, it would haunt us for the rest of our lives,” Elliot said.

The Johnsons said the neigh-bours, and passersby took time out of their lives, to search for “our little girl.”

“We won’t forget your kind-ness to us,” he said. “May we as a community, come together when others are hurting, to aid in the comfort, as you have done for us.”

An alleged puppy mill was raided by SPCA officials recently.MATTHEW [email protected]

The B.C. SPCA has seized 66 neglected dogs and puppies from a Langley site it called a

puppy mill.The 32 adult dogs and 34

puppies were seized from a Langley breeder on Feb. 4, according to Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforce-ment officer for the BC SPCA.

Langley RCMP said the site was located near 256th Street and 85th Avenue.

The dogs, including English sheep dogs, Bernese mountain

dogs, wheaton terriers, stan-dard and miniature poodles and Portuguese water dogs, had ser-ious medical issues, according to an SPCA press release.

Some dogs had broken limbs, missing ears and eyes, infec-tions and abscesses, dental dis-ease, and severely matted and feces-caked fur. They were also malnourished.

Moriarty said the dogs and

puppies were kept in small stacked cages in dark, unheated buildings. There were dan-gerous ammonia levels from accumulated urine, Moriarty said.

“Many of these dogs required urgent medical care and many others show signs of fearfulness due to lack of socialization,” Moriarty said.

to think that anyone allowed these innocent animals to suffer like this,” she added.

The SPCA is prepar-ing a report to Crown counsel and recom-mending criminal charges.

The SPCA was alert-

ed to the situation by a member of the pub-lic, Moriarty said.

She urged people to use the SPCA’s online and print resources to

learn how to tell the difference between legitimate breeders and puppy mills.

The 66 seized dogs are currently in pro-tective hold with the SPCA.

They are not being kept in Langley, as the local Langley Animal Protection Society was not involved in the

seizure.The Vancouver

SPCA shelter is ask-ing for donations of blankets, towels, and dog beds for the influx of animals.

The supplies are needed as this is one of the largest seizures ever made of dogs in the prov-ince’s history.

A total of 66 dogs and puppies were seized from a Langley property the SPCA says was a puppy mill.

POLICING

Boy hurt in hit and runDriver looked at victim, kept going.

MATTHEW [email protected]

Langley RCMP are looking for witnesses to a hit and run collision that injured a 12-year-old Aldergrove boy on Jan. 27.

At about 4:30 p.m. that day, the boy was walking north on 272nd, and crossed Fraser Highway with the WALK sign illuminated, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokes-person for the Langley RCMP.

An eastbound black truck hit the boy.

The driver stopped for a moment, looked at the boy, then drove south on 272nd Street.

The boy suffered minor injuries and did not require medical attention, said Largy.

Anyone with informa-tion that can help find the driver, described as a man 40-50 years old, can call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200, or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS), or text BCTIP and a message to CRIMES (274637) or send a tip online.

Officers and civilians who risked their lives were thanked.MATTHEW [email protected]

Pulling people from burning cars, river rescues, and tackling suspects into thick brambles were among the acts of selfless-ness recognized by the Langley RCMP Detachment Awards Ceremony on Feb. 4.

Supt. Murray Power hand-ed out Officer in Charge Commendations to more than 40 officers and civilians for a host of brave actions.

Those honoured included:• Stephen Murray, who

jumped into the Fraser River on April 12, 2014, to rescue a kay-aker who had capsized without a life jacket.

• Const. Aaron Kehler, who confronted a woman armed with a knife and helped prevent her from jumping out of a third-floor window while apparently intoxi-cated.

• Robin Bajer, who saw a car crash into a ditch and burst into flames on Old Yale Road on Aug. 24, 2014. He helped the driver and passenger to safety.

• Const. Bob Johnston chased down a suspected thief who had just crashed a stolen car. The thief threw himself into a dense

wall of blackberry bushes, but Johnston went in after him.

• Anthony Bryant helped restrain a suicidal man on the Golden Ears Bridge on May 2 last year, until the man could be taken to the hospital by police.

• Const. Manjit Bahi found a break and enter suspect who had cut an artery in his leg in an accident with his own knife. Bahi used a dog leash as an improvised tourniquet and stayed with the man until the Air Ambulance arrived to rush him to hospital.

• Const. Deanna Law rushed a young woman who had taken an overdose of pills to a hos-

pital, when no ambulance was immediately available. The woman recovered.

• Constables Audrey Parent and Inderjeet Sandhu gave CPR to a young woman who had overdosed on an unknown drug. The woman later recovered.

• Const. Gian Millette was off duty when he arrived home and found fellow officers nearby who were looking for a bank robbery suspect. Millette heard a neigh-bour’s cries and arrested the intruder, who was armed with a large knife.

• Erin McGreevy helped in a child sexual assault investigation by locating latent fingerprint

impressions on pages torn from a journal.

• Noel Christiansen also found fingerprints during an investi-gation, locating them on stolen mail and leading to the arrest of a suspect responsible for the theft of more than 8,000 pieces of mail.

Two groups of officers were singled out for working on par-ticular projects.

The Langley Serious Crime unit was honoured for its work catch-ing a man suspected in eight bank robberies around Langley and other Lower Mainland com-munities in the fall of 2015.

The officers managed to track down the specific grey Chevrolet Cavalier connected to the suspect and two men were eventually arrested.

A large group of officer and civilian employees were hon-oured for their work evacuating two four-storey buildings in Murrayville in the early morning hours of May 17.

A nearby condo complex under construction had caught fire, and the flames spread to nearby apartments.

Numerous officers organized an evacuation, sometimes kick-ing their way into apartments.

The Langley Detachment Operational Communications Centre staff were honoured for co-ordinating the efforts.

Long service awards were also given to officers and auxiliaries.

Increased pedestrian and vehicle traffic coming into the new Timm’s Community Centre later this month has prompted the construction of a new intersection along Douglas Crescent.

With construction inside the new centre ramping up, and the grand opening cele-

bration slated for Feb. 24, crews are now focusing much efforts on the exterior of the

project – including the addition of a new lighted intersection connecting Langley Mall parking lot to the south to the centre’s underground parking facility to the north, said engineering direc-tor Rick Bomhof.

“There was a con-cern about pedestrian and vehicle safety at the access on Douglas Crescent,” he said.

“It was decided to provide a signal to serve the new com-plex, as well as to the Langley Mall across the street who also cost shared the signal installation.”

In addition to the new intersection, side-walks and entrances to the joint Timms, City hall, and library are being reconfigured.

The new entrances to the civic complex will be centralized through a new atrium situated in the new wing of the building.

Old entrances will be closed and replaced with one large lobby accessible from a new entrance off Douglas Crescent, an entrance from the parking lot at the rear, or through

and elevator or stairs from the underground parking lot.

Over the course of the next few weeks, a lot of landscaping should be complete around City hall and community centre, Bomhof said.

That will include the addition of new sidewalks and walk-ways, street lights, trees, planters, and even a new street clock (much like the one in front of It’s About Time clock shop down the street) being erected at the corner of 204th Street and Fraser Highway.

Roxanne Hooper Langley Advance

With the Timms Community Centre grand opening around the corner, Langley City is ramping up its drive to get people active.

During February, the City is promoting health through its Moments of Activity cam-paign, explained Mayor Ted Schaffer.

“Building on the 5-2-1-0 principle of healthy living, we are trying to show people how easy it can be to get one hour of activity each day,” he said. “All it takes are moments where you mindfully say ‘I’m going to get up and get active’ – it could not be easier.”

The campaign is a video challenge from council: record and upload Moments of Activity to YouTube, then share via social media with the hashtag #ActiveMoments.

Participants are also asked to challenge three friends to show their Moments of Activity for a chance to win six months free membership to the Timms Community Centre.

City council has started the campaign off by challenging City fire and rescue, senior staff, and Langley’s division of family practice.

The new Timms Community Centre will host its grand opening on Feb. 24.

A local group invites the public to learn.HEATHER [email protected]

Author, musician and broadcaster Wab Kinew is the keynote speaker at unique gathering about the aboriginal residen-tial school Truth and Reconciliation process taking place across Canada.

The Langley Journey to Reconciliation Committee has organ-ized events Feb. 19, 20 and 21.

When former local school trustee Cecelia Reekie returned from Ottawa after experi-encing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s impact, she wanted to do

something to make the work relevant to her community.

A local committee was formed. It is a grassroots cross-sec-tion of the community that includes a retired Anglican minister, school district senior staff and more.

They have planned the weekend of activ-ities. Friday features Kinew reading from

his memoir.Saturday features a

day of conversations on the topics sur-rounding aboriginal residential schools, drumming, a panel discussion featuring a residential school sur-vivor and government, school and community representatives, Kinew speaking, crafts, food, archival material from the United Church and

Anglican Church, and more.

Sunday concludes with the An Inter-Faith Ceremony of Healing and Reconciliation at 21562 Old Yale Rd., (the former Sharon United Church) start-ing at 6:30 p.m.

“It’s important for Canadians to under-stand how we got here today,” Reekie said.

Residential schools are one component of the history of Canada and the history of aboriginal peoples. It’s interconnected with the Indian Act, treat-ies, and more.

But it’s had the most direct effect on fam-ilies because people who were not raised by parents were not able to parent.

Reekie added that the last residential school closed in 1996 so this is not ancient

history.Reekie said people

attend and participate as they choose.

She said the most important thing for organizers is people’s willingness to share and learn from differ-ent perspectives. Each person will be at a dif-ferent place in terms of their understanding of the issues, their

own experiences and ability to work with others on what the future holds, she said.

The weekend is

meant to encourage discussion and under-standing.

The federal Truth and Reconciliation Commission recently released 94 calls to action (recommen-dations). Reekie said they may seem daunt-ing but she suggested people read through the 94 and pick one they think they could apply to their lives.

“It’s not that we expect us to define what is reconcilia-tion at the end of the weekend,” she said.

OUR VIEW

Throne speech hits right notes

The 2016 Speech from the Throne contains several items that give hope for the future.

There is a focus on agricul-ture and protecting local food

supplies, attention to climate change and First Nations issues, and pledges to do something about the soaring price of housing that could lock a generation out of home ownership.

Near the beginning of the document, there is a section that would have seemed bizarre just a few short years ago.

British Columbians are warned about the economic trap that has enveloped Alberta.

“Over the decades, Alberta lost its focus,” said the Lieutenant-Governor Judith Guichon, speaking for Premier Christy Clark’s Liberal government. “They expected their resource boom never to end, failed to diversify their economy and lost control of government spending.”

For decades, and particularly during the 1990s when the NDP were in power in B.C., it was popular to emphasize how much B.C. could learn from Alberta. It seemed British Columbia was somehow to blame for not sitting atop a giant lake of oil during a time of rising fossil fuel prices.

Now, unfortunately for Albertans, the bust that follows all booms has arrived. And it turns out that rather than wisely investing, successive Conservative gov-ernments squandered the oil-generated wealth on government spending and low taxes.

We shouldn’t be too quick to point fingers. B.C. has a more diversified econ-omy, but we still depend on many natural resources that are subject to the rising and falling tides of the world economy. And our own government is still going forward with plans for liquefied natural gas – albeit more slowly.

It’s good that we’re wary of falling into Alberta’s trap.

But hopefully our government will learn the larger lesson – that there is no econ-omy so successful that it can’t be dealt a blow by factors entirely outside the control of any premier or legislature.

– M.C.

I t seems to be that the closer you get to downtown, the longer it takes to get there.

Ironically, that is progress.When I was a kid, downtown was

a million miles away – or at least it seemed about that far.

We lived in the sticks outside one of the larger towns on Vancouver Island. If Alberni and Port Alberni had been one town back then, as they are now, they would have been bigger than Nanaimo was.

Beaver Creek School was as close to downtown as I usually got. It was a 20-minute hike down a gravel road to the bus stop, and then a 10-minute ride down a lonely road to the school.

Same thing in reverse to get home.Next step towards downtown took us

to Berry Store, somewhat more than a corner store, where we got most of our groceries. Every week, if we were good, two or three of us got to go along – there are seven of us in total – and if we were really, really good, we’d each get a penny to buy candy.

Yes, kids, those pennies that don’t even exist anymore used to buy stuff all on their own. We could save them up for a few weeks and buy a nickel chocolate bar, about the size of the ones you get for a dollar today, or we’d chip in together and get a Coke or an Orange Crush. You can’t even get that size of

bottles these days.Most times, I used my

penny immediately to cap-ture three whole jawbreaker candies.

On special occasions we’d actually get to go right downtown. You could drive all the way without meeting more than one or two other cars on the road.

Downtown was Woodward’s, across the street from the Eaton’s cata-logue office, where a lot of the family’s shopping trans-actions gave us access to Toronto – Canada’s downtown.

There was also a Simpson’s Sears catalogue office, smaller than the Eaton’s, that was popular with lots of families but not so much ours, and a Woolworth’s with a real-life lunch counter.

It just occurred to me: none of those apostrophes exist anymore.

They were all places we got to see only when we needed special stuff, like school supplies – and we were admon-ished to stick close while downtown.

It was exhilarating and exciting... and at least a bit scary.

I lost sight of Mom and Dad once in Woodward’s, ended up downstairs where they sold tools and sports stuff,

and when I tugged on the sleeve of a man who was wearing Dad’s sweater, I discovered I had gotten myself hopelessly, desper-ately lost for several minutes that seemed like I had been damned to an eternity of lonely desertion.

I found them back by run-ning around in a panic, and they didn’t even know I’d been “gone.”

And I didn’t tell them. I knew the back woods at the farm as well as any country bumpkin could, and I was

too embarrassed to admit that I’d got lost in a two-room department store.

It was a different world. Not just the nickel Coke, or the fact that half the town lived a long way out of town, and yet, everybody knew everybody else.

We lived differently.Now I live half the distance from

downtown, and traffic makes it twice as long to get there.

I barely know a tenth of the people who live within a stone’s throw, and that doesn’t make me the least bit unusual.

Moms and dads still love their kids, but now, if they make just a moment’s mistake, all the people who never both-ered to know them sit in judgment.

When downtown was a million miles

Letters to the editorLangleyAdvance Thursday, February 11, 2016 A9COMMUNITY FORUM

Dear Editor,After 17 years as director of

the Langley City Library, Pat Dawson is retiring from paid active service.

As a person with a disability (P.W.D.), I have seen the amaz-ing job she has done there for the people of this community.

She has created an outstand-ing atmosphere for all people to enjoy the fundamentals of the written word regardless of culture, class, colour, creed or carat weight. She has assembled a great staff of knowledgeable friendly people who do their jobs very well.

I am there daily to work on the internet and my writing, and this has enriched my life immensely.

She has been instrumental in implementing so many programs in a wonderful, clean, safe, cre-

ative environment here, from ESL training for immigrants, and a place for other P.W.D.s to enjoy, to the spinning and writ-ers clubs, and the entire place runs like a Swiss watch.

The computers and printer are almost always in perfect working order, and I have yet to see even one book out of place. Even though funding has often been a challenge, they have done great job making resources available to all.

Although she has usually been the invisible face behind the scenes, her work has always been obvious to us all, and I for one can only hope that her replacement will be able to live up to those standards.

As a person with such other-wise limited resources, I can’t adequately express how nice it is to come here to enjoy the ambi-

ance and ingest the wide variety of brain food available here.

With so much other artificial virtual junk contaminating our minds every day, it is great to be able to stop in and take home something actual, like a hard copy in the form of a DVD, because we can’t afford cable, or an actual book that you don’t need to click a rodent to read. Something that more people should try sometime. I’ve never heard the phrase “To curl up with a good screen.”

If I was ever rich, I know where I will leave some money to.

Libraries are the bank where the favourite currency is know-ledge. Because a mind really is a terrible thing to waste.

Thank you, Pat.Danny A. “Hurricane” Halmo,

Langley City

Retiring librarian will be missed

Dear Editor,Township tax increase set at nearly four per cent

– is this council out of their collective minds?The Canadian… and B.C. economy is in a sham-

bles and these totally-out-of-touch-with-reality elected airheads have the unmitigated gall to raise our property taxes by well over three times the cost of living increases we got on our provincial and federal pensions – 1.2 per cent.

Maybe they missed the BC Assessment average increase for Langley Township of around eight per cent. Or maybe they are so out of touch with their constituents that they think we won’t object?

It is time to let these elitists know enough is enough.

I’m a Langley Township resident 40 years and sick and fed up.

Win Bromley, Langley

Dear EditorI was very pleased to see

the letter in your paper seek-ing nominations for this year’s Flowerdew and Arnason Awards [Honour volunteers, Jan. 28 Opinion, Langley Advance].

As a previous nominee, I know what an honour it is to be nominated for such a prestigious award. As an active volunteer

in our community, I also know firsthand the number of volun-teers required to make any event successful and in Langley, our volunteer base is incredible and I’ve had the privilege of working with many of them.

I also know, there are a lot of people whose names could be brought forward to be rec-ognized for their volunteerism

in the Township of Langley. I encourage everyone to take some time out of their schedules to put together a nomination package to recognize the dedicated volun-teer or volunteer duo they know for one of these two awards.

Deadline is Feb. 12 and the nomination application is online on the TOL website.

Michael Jackstien, Langley

Selfless volunteers deserve recognition

I was elated to read that the condo strata council where Paul Aradi lives won their day in court, forcing Mr. Aradi to stop smoking in his condo unit [Senior must butt out, Jan. 28, Langley Advance].

In his defence, Mr. Aradi took to stating mobility issues, smok-ing since he was a teenager, veteran status and that he lived in his residence before the condo strata passed the non-smoking bylaws 2009.

None of these give Mr. Aradi the right to cause serious health issues and disturbances to his neighbours.

Mr. Aradi’s right to smoke does not over-rule a person’s right to be in a non-smoking environment, free from dangerous carcinogens and the terrible smell that accompanies the habit.

I believe that all condo and townhome complexes should implement a strict non-smoking rule not only on common prop-erty, but inside the units wherever there is a shared common wall or vent. A smoker must be forced to leave the property and engage in the habit in an area where it does not impede other people’s rights.

This should include people who engage in smoking any other type of drug paraphernalia.

If Mr. Aradi wants to smoke in his home, then he needs to pur-chase a single, detached

home, stay inside and smoke to his heart’s content.

That way he’s happy and his smoking is con-tained to himself.

Sandra Steffan, Willowbrook

Keep smoking clear from shared space

A plan to charge developers fees that would be put towards parks and libraries in new neighbourhoods is being bandied about by Township council.. Readers weigh in:

Caristiona MacLean: .... And hospital expan-sions?? Where do all these families need to go in an emergency around here? LMH NEEDS to be expanded in a terrible way!

Shirley Sawatsky: Thank-you Michelle Sparrow for bringing this forward !

Elise Tyrrell: Yes, thanks Michelle Sparrow for bringing this to the table it’s a great idea. Let’s hope it passes

Pat Johnstone: Richmond council needs to look at this too..for hospital upgrade/repair!

Tricia Cowley: Love the idea of hospital upgrades!

Students from R.E. Mountain will show off arts and technology.MATTHEW [email protected]

Students at R.E. Mountain Secondary in Willoughby learn the core academic subjects – math, English, the sciences – but they also work in everything from metal to computer code, paint to pastry.

Today (Thursday, Feb. 11) the school will throw open its doors to the public for Arts Incorporated (Inc.), a festival of food, graphic design, music, drama, video, wood-working, and other items created as part of the school’s elective classes.

It’s the second such event, a showcase of what the teenagers can accomplish, said Toni Belton, a teacher and one of the organizers of the evening.

The Arts Inc. event was so big when it was first held two years ago, organizers realized they could only hold it every two years.

“We were so full it was beyond our expectations,” Belton said.

With the school’s transition to Grade 9-12 and the creation of near-by Yorkson Middle School, Yorkson stu-dents in particular will be invited to see the projects, Belton said.

It will give them an idea of what electives they might want to take when they move up to high school.

Different students are working on different projects in a wide variety of areas. They’re hoping to have their ideas done for the Arts Inc. show.

• Jarrod Hansen has been build-ing a small, remote-controlled robot arm. He’s hoping to have the little device ready to fling a ping pong ball, controlled through a cellphone app.

• Dylan Lee and three others are working on creating a new app for students, an R.E. Mountain scheduler. It could be customized with listings for school events, sports teams and games, and other educational and extracurricular projects.

• Quinn Jenkinson helped build the case for an arcade game students started last year.

“I still need to work on it a little this year,” he said.

The arcade can already play Frogger, Bubble Bobble, and a few other games.

• C.J. Christensen has spent four weeks putting together a three-legged stool in his woodshop class, from cutting the pieces, fastening them together, sanding, and finally varnishing.

• Students in Sherrine Francis’s foods class are taking part in a master chef competitions.

“Once a year they have to teach the class a recipe that they believe is their star recipe,” Francis explained.

Some of the best presenters will be showing off their recipes at Arts Inc.

Last year they ran out of food, “which I guess is a good problem to have,” Francis said.

This year’s Arts Inc. will involve about 200 students helping out, with art displays, improv theatre, and numerous displays and food.

Last time, more than 500 people attended the student showcase, Belton said.

Tonight, the doors open at 6 p.m., with the show wrapping up by 9 p.m. at R.E. Mountain, 7755 202A St.

Langley residents were asked to share their idea of a perfect Feb. 14.HEATHER [email protected]

The Langley Advance asked readers to describe their perfect Valentine’s Day celebration.

The movies would have us believe that people dream of jet setting off to an exotic locale for a romantic dinner, truckloads of red roses or some other kind of grand gesture.

But readers tell us their celebra-tions are really centered on spend-ing time with the people they love.

The entries were put into a draw for a $50 gift card to Pasta Polo which was won by Cathy Hebert.

FROM THE HEART

Simplicity preferred

Here’s what some Langley residents shared when we asked them to describe their vision of a perfect Valentine’s Day celebration.

Local Valentine-themed events are on offer.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. will bene-fit by some Valentine Bingo Feb. 12.

Seven Chartwell locations, including the two in Langley, will host bingo tournaments this upcoming Valentine’s weekend with proceeds benefiting the foundation’s ongoing work to reduce heart disease and stroke in Canada.

On Friday, Feb. 12 this first annual event will be held at two locations in Langley: Chartwell Langley Gardens Retirement Community, 8888 202nd St., from 10:30 a.m. to noon and Chartwell Renaissance, 6676 203rd St., between 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m.

The public can show the Heart and Stroke Foundation some love while enjoy-ing great company and a little friendly competition. Refreshments and Valentine treats will be available as well as the chance to win some great prizes.

For more information, contact Chartwell Langley Gardens Retirement Community at 604-676-3098 or Chartwell Renaissance at 778-726-0842.

Go old schoolLearn about the romantic

side of life at the Fort Langley National Historic Site on Feb. 13.

A traditional three-course Valentine’s Day dinner with a select wine pairing awaits.

Patrons will get to witness a historic Fur Trade Wedding

Building relationships between the Fort and the local First nations was essential in the 1800s and one of the strongest bonds was made through marriage. Participate in a fur trade wedding, where the Chief trader stands before a Kwantlen bride and a Fort Langley worker, “joining” their families in marriage and the trade.

Feel the heat of molten metal in the blacksmith’s shop at a 19th century Hudson’s Bay Company fort.

Enjoy the soulful sounds of Sister Says, a pop duo based out of Vancouver, fronted by mixed Haida-Tsimshian siblings Gillian and Robert Thomson.

The cost is $99 per person. Seatings are at 5 and 7 p.m. Information and reservations are at lelem.ca/events.

Celebration is Feb. 13 and 14 at Township 7 Winery, 21152

Sweet soundsWell-known musicians

Calvin Dyck (violin), and Carmen Fast Hollett (piano), will present a concert of the most romantic music for vio-lin and piano, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. at Bakerview Church in Abbotsford.

There will be door prizes such as gift certificates and chocolate.

A local educator is named one of the top profs in the nation.HEATHER [email protected]

Trinity Western University professor Allyson Jule takes her education students to Cameroon to teach African children as part of their jour-ney to becoming teachers.

She also created the school’s Gender Studies Institute.

Now Jule has been named one of Canada’s top 10 profes-sors, earning the 3M Teaching Fellowship for excellence in teaching and leadership. This is a first for a TWU educator.

“For me, it’s a statement about the School of Education, its faculty, staff and students, and the kind of atmosphere of excellence we create together,” said Jule.

She is on sabbatical as a visiting research fellow at the University of Oxford.

Her education students do study trips to Cameroon, where they work in remote village schools alongside local teach-ers who work without any electricity or running water, and rely solely on chalk and painted-on chalkboards.

Jule has also been recognized for her contribution to gender studies. She is the co-direc-tor of TWU’s Gender Studies Institute, founded in 2008. In 2011, she introduced a gender studies minor, and in 2012, an

innovative course on gender in education – the only under-graduate course of its kind in the country. Several professors from other institutions have asked her about course design.

“I feel really lucky to be able to teach this course at TWU,” said Jule. “Gender is such an important social variable in the educational experience. We can’t ignore it. It’s powerful.”

For Jule, feminism in particu-lar is a vital topic for Christian students to consider.

“The history of feminism is deeply embedded in Christian thought,” she said. “The first feminists were Christians who argued for inclusion on the basis of Scripture.”

Earlier this year, Jule was named president-elect for the Women’s and Gender Studies et Recherches Feministes (WGSRF). She will serve for a year before taking on the presi-dency for a two-year term.

The Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education and 3M Canada award the annual fellowships.

Maximo Gutierrez high-tailed it while being clocked on radar by Langley RCMP Const. Jean-Jacques Jarjoura during Monday afternoon’s Fraser Valley Family Day bash, hosted by C&D Logistics in partnership with JRFM. The event was held inside the Langley Events Centre’s fieldhouse.

Maksom McQueen, one, grinned ear to ear during his and his family’s visit to the Langley Events Centre’s fieldhouse Monday.

Ami Behm and her children Colten, three, and Cianna, eight, tried their hands at LEGO during the Willowbrook Shopping Centre’s Family Day event.

Mackenzie Savage, four, made her way down an inflatable slide set up at the

follow students from Artistic Edge Dance Academy as they performed at Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

Family Day FunSTORY AND PHOTOS BY TROY [email protected]

Family Day 2016 was one to remember in the Langleys.

There was no shortage of things to do in Langley City and Township

on Monday, and two of the hotspots were the Langley Events Centre and Willowbrook Shopping Centre. The LEC’s fieldhouse hosted a Fraser Valley Family Day celebration, put on by C&D Logistics in partnership with JRFM, while over at the Willowbrook mall, a Peace Play Day event included kids’ crafts, entertainment, and information booths.

Local grads in business at UVic could get a Black Press scholarship.

Fort Langley’s Julianna Nemeth is grateful to newspaper owner and business-man David Black for helping make her entrepreneurial dreams a reality.

Realizing those goals are is still a little ways off for the 18-year-old Walnut Grove Secondary grad. She believes it is attainable, though – in part thanks to a $5,000 boast from Black Press, as well as a few other scholarships she received last fall.

Ever year now, graduating high school students in 37 of the province’s school districts – all intending to study business at the University of Victoria’s Peter B. Gustavson School of Business – can apply for a $5,000 scholarship.

“For me, the scholarships meant that in my future coop terms, as well as this summer, I will be able to focus on finding a job that inter-ests me and that I’m passionate about, rather than whichever job offers me the highest pay,” she shared with the Langley Advance.

“I am a hardworking and dedi-

cated student, who genuinely enjoys and is passionate about learning. I am fluent in French and am currently learning Spanish and Italian – which, other than sociology, have been my favourite classes at UVic, so far,” she added.

OpportunityNow it’s time for

another Langley stu-dent to potentially

enjoy that same opportunity. The Black Press business scholarship is awarded based on academic merit, leadership, and a demonstrated desire to make a positive differ-ence.

“My career aspirations include first working overseas,” Nemeth said. “I then wish to pursue a career in sales or general manage-ment within a fashion-based com-pany, before returning to school to complete a masters degree in busi-ness administration.”

Students must apply to the Gustavson School of Business, bachelor of commerce program before Feb. 28 to be eligible.

Scholarship helps Fort student realize dreams

Don’t be put off by the name of a new school show.HEATHER [email protected]

When nature calls, Canadians can decide to go to the bathroom without first having to check and see if they have any money.

But imagine a future where water shortages have turned one of the most basic and vital human needs into an industry. Brookswood Musical Theatre shares this futuristic vision in Urinetown.

“The show’s message of how important it is to create a sustainable way of life is so relevant now. I love how the show satirizes greed and conspicuous consumption with upbeat musical num-bers,” said teacher Sheri Eyre.

In the future a water short-age, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a gov-ernment-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a company that charges admission.

A hero emerges who decides he’s not going to take this anymore. But can a revolution to allow people

they can relieve themselves as they choose succeed?

Eyre saw Urinetown per-formed at the Firehall Arts Theatre in Vancouver and thought Brookswood should do the show.

“It’s hilarious, the music is fantastic and it allows for so many actors to shine in char-acter parts. I’m so proud of all the fun details each cast member has brought to their roles,” she said.

Students ranging from Grade 8 to 12 – 54 in all – are involved, and some former students have even come back to work on the tech side of the production.

“Being in a musical is an

incredible experience. It takes months of dedicated work. It requires students to work collaboratively and cre-atively,” she explained.

“So many important life skills are developed and practiced during the rehears-al and performance process. Students work together towards a common goal, demonstrating incredible grit and determination and they put in hundreds of hours in order to have this show come to life.”

The show is at once social satire, comedy, social com-mentary, a musical and more.

“The best part of the show,

for me, is the discussions between Officer Lockstock (played by Marcus Loden) and Little Sally (played by Ally Ray) about the fact that they are in a badly named show called Urinetown, The Musical,” Eyre said.

The show pokes fun at itself as well as the musical genre. All the while it is a perfect example of what a musical can be; smart, funny and heartfelt, she added.

Urinetown runs Feb. 10 to 13 and 17 to 20 at the school, 20902 37A Ave. Showtime is 7 p.m., and admission is $12. Tickets are at bssmusicaltheatre.brown-papertickets.com.

Langley’s first annual film festival is coming to Chief Sepass Theatre, at Langley Fine Arts School, from Feb. 19 to 21.

A first for Langley: its very own film festival.TROY [email protected]

Starting with a film that has a distinct local flavour, the first annual Langley International Film Festival (LIFF) prom-ises to give local film buffs plenty to chew on.

The Langley School District Foundation in partnership with Langley Film Nights Shot in the Dark and the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) pre-sents LIFF the week-end of Feb. 19 to 21.

The festival opens with NUMB, an edgy, provocative film directed by Langley’s Jason Goode.

The film is Goode’s premiere screening and the cast and crew will be in attendance both at the film and during the opening night gala at lelem’ Arts and Culture Café.

All screenings will take place at Chief Sepass Theatre in Fort Langley with proceeds from ticket and concession sales going to support art and film programs in the Langley School District.

The screenings expand on the Langley Film Nights Shot in the Dark, noted LIFF committee member Barb Mykle-Hotzon.

“We rent a theatre at Colossus every other Wednesday night and show films from the Toronto International Film Festival,” Mykle-Hotzon explained. “It fills a need in our community. So many people want to see films that aren’t Hollywood blockbust-ers, but are independ-ent and/or foreign films that they would otherwise not have access to.”

Aside from LIFF, Shot in the Dark shows TIFF films from January to May, before starting up again in September to the end of November.

Between 120 to 150 people come to screenings.

Now, Langley Film Nights is partnering with the Langley School District Foundation for the first ever film festival.

LIFF features six screenings:

Friday, Feb. 19 – 7 p.m.

NUMB: When a couple in financial distress discovers GPS coordinates that promise to lead to stolen gold, they must partner with a pair of mysterious hitchhikers to enter the remote

winter wilderness to recover the coins.

Friday, Feb. 19 – 9 to 10:30 p.m.

Opening Night Gala: Aprés movie featuring wine, hors d’oeuvres and discussions with director, cast and crew from NUMB at lelem’ cafe.

Saturday, Feb. 20 – 2 to 4 p.m.

Sleeping Giant: A study of the emotional extremes of adoles-cence and their pot-entially catastrophic effects.

Saturday, Feb. 20 – 4:30 to 6:30 p.m.

Carol: A drama star-ring Cate Blanchett, the film is set in 1952 in New York City, and is the story of a young photographer and her relationship with an older woman going through a difficult divorce.

Saturday, Feb. 20 – 7:30 to 9:30 p.m.

Student-produced vignettes: Explorations as only teenagers can write, describe and put onto film. Meet the stu-dents, and herald in the next generation of Spielbergs.

Sunday, Feb. 21 – 1 to 2:30 p.m.

Trumbo: In 1947, Dalton Trumbo was Hollywood’s top screenwriter, until he and other artists were jailed and blacklisted for their political beliefs.

Sunday, Feb. 21 3 to 5 p.m.

Room: Co-starring nine-year-old Langley actor Jacob Tremblay, this film is about Jack, a little boy and his mother who escape to the outside world after years of confinement.

Jacob will be in attendance and will be available for a ques-tion-and-answer per-iod afterwards.

All screenings will be held at Chief

Sepass Theatre, 9096 Trattle St.

Tickets are $10 per screening. Gala is $25. Three-day pass-es including all six screenings is $50.

For tickets, contact Langley School District Foundation executive director Susan Cairns at 604-532-1464 or [email protected].

Celebrating Chamber of Commerce Week 2016February 15-19

Your Chamber: Strengthening Business, Building Communities!▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶

▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶

▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶

The Chamber has been the voice of business for 85 years.

The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has waxed and waned during the past 85 years.

As the Chamber prepares to celebrate another big birthday this year, its members, board, and staff can look back on a his-tory that has seen it weather the Great Depression, floods, and near dissolution at least once.

Go back just a little way, and when asked about the Langley Chamber of Commerce, there were competing claims for the title.

“There used to be three chambers of commerce serv-ing the community,” said the Chamber’s executive director, Lynn Whitehouse. “Nowadays, business doesn’t really know any boundaries.”

The three Chambers had been around for years, into the late 1990s. An Aldergrove Chamber represented merchants in Langley’s eastern-most com-munity. North of the highway, the Fort Langley Chamber had expanded to Walnut Grove

and become the North Langley Chamber.

All three finally merged through the course of about two years, and the old Langley Chamber added “Greater” to its name to mark the expansion.

The Chamber was born in 1931, two years into the Depression, with 63 residents signing the papers to form what was then called the Langley

Board of Trade.Many of the prominent locals

who signed have since had their names become part of Langley’s landscape: Dr. Benjamin Marr, Noel Booth, and P.Y. Porter.

Those early signers were most-ly merchants and shopkeepers, some tradesmen, farmers, and a veterinarian. One was A.G. Fulton, station agent for the B.C. Electric Railroad.

They represented a cross-sec-tion of business owners and labourers in a Langley that had a population of a little more than 5,000 people.

While some early records were lost in the flood of 1948, some of the earliest surviving Chamber minutes show some things have not changed.

Issues of taxes, transportation, and parking show up as fre-quently 60 years ago as they do now.

Whitehouse has overseen many of the more recent chan-ges personally. She started working there in 1986, the year of Expo, and that meant a lot of tourism work.

“We were the tourism organiz-ation,” Whitehouse said.

Tourism was a huge part of the work of Chambers of com-merce, including in Langley, where all three Chambers at the time ran tourism offices.

“It was actually fun, really fun,” Whitehouse said of all the public interaction.

Being provincially funded tourism offices meant a require-ment to stay open seven days a week in July and August, and that Victoria got to pick the interior decor.

A tourism tax on hotels was instituted in 2007, and promo-tion of the community to visitors split off to Tourism Langley.

Another big change through the years has been location.

When Whitehouse began working for the Chamber, the offices were downtown at Fraser Highway and Glover Road.

When the road was realigned, they moved a few doors down. Then they moved again, to big-ger quarters on Glover Road.

Last year the Chamber staff relocated again, having sold their mortgage-free Glover Road digs. They now have a second-storey office in the Carvolth area just off 200th Street and north of 80th Avenue.

HISTORY

Chamber began in depths of the Depression


Chamber executive director Lynn Whitehouse has been at the helm since 1986, and has seen a number of major changes in the past 30 years. Before her time, the Chamber published a variety of publications to promote the Langleys.

Celebrating

Chamber of Commerce Week 2016February 15-19Your Chamber: Strengthening Business, Building Communities!

▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶ ▶

The Greater Langley Chamber puts variety into its monthly events.

The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce hosts events monthly for the business com-

munity, but also reaches out to the broader community several times a year.

The big events on the calendar tend to cluster around the winter months, or around elections.

In November, the Chamber’s annual awards ceremony hon-ours businesses large and small, along with a host of other cat-egories, from last year’s new Under 40 award to Community Impact, Environmental Leadership, Service Excellence, and Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

The crowner of the evening is the George Preston Memorial Businessperson of the Year, named for the late Langley Township mayor, businessman, and philanthropist.

In December, at the Chamber’s big holiday bash, the H.D. Stafford Good Citizen of the Year Award is handed out.

By tradition, the recipient is not told of the event until they are called up from the audience, which has resulted in many sur-prised faces over the years. H.D. Stafford winners are honoured

for volunteerism and community involvement, often behind the scenes and done without much fanfare.

The 2015 winner was past Chamber president Milt Kruger,

who has been busy helping build new playgrounds for schools around the Langleys.

The Chamber also tries to keep its members up to date on local politics. Langley MLAs

Rich Coleman and Mary Polak are guests almost each year, often talking about a specific issue. Likewise, Langley City and Township Mayors Ted Schaffer and Jack Froese give members an update annually, talking about major projects and municipal plans.

If there is an election at any level, the Chamber hosts at least one all-candidates forum, often in partnership with other groups such as the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board or Kwantlen

Polytechnic University.Some of the near-future cham-

ber events are:• Business Crime in the

Langleys. A talk on local issues with crime as it affects the busi-ness community.

The speech will take place at the monthly dinner meeting for the chamber on Feb. 16 with networking starting at 5 p.m. at the Cascades Casino Resort

Ballroom.• Lunch and Learn will be

held on Feb. 17, from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Chamber of Commerce boardroom at 207-8047 199th St.

This month’s event is A Modern Approach to Wealth Management, presented by Justin Hui of Hui Financial Group. The event will review investment strategies and talk abut capital markets,

• Open Late For Business.Another monthly event that

allows local businesspeople to network at a variety of locations over the course of the year.

The February Open Late is scheduled for Feb. 25 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at Gold’s Gym at 19989 81A Ave.

The free events only require advance registration for the mingling.

Check the Chamber’s site at business.langleychamber.com for more information.

Lynn Whitehouse has been the face of the Chamber since ’86.

MATTHEW [email protected]

The longtime executive director of the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce has official-

ly announced her retirement.Lynn Whitehouse will step

down at the end of June this year.

“It is with great pride, albeit mixed emotions, that I announce that I will be step-ping aside as senior staff per-son of the Langley Chamber,” Whitehouse said.

She started working at the Chamber in 1986, and kind of fell into the position.

Whitehouse began as an assistant to the then-economic development officer for both Langley City and Township.

Economic development worked out of the Chamber offices at the time. Shortly after Whitehouse’s arrival, the Chamber manager left and the economic development part-nership ended. Whitehouse was left to take over.

She stayed because of the many changes and the fact that

there was always something new to do, Whitehouse said.

“I truly do love the commun-ity, so it was really easy to stay,” she said.

She’s met amazing people and seen every corner of B.C. while working for the cham-ber, she said.

Chamber president Scott Johnston said Whitehouse’s dedication is in large part responsible for the Langley Chamber being held in high respect locally, provincially, and nationally.

“Because of her vast experi-ence, our Chamber is often looked upon to provide leader-

ship and assistance to others, and Langley is very active on the advocacy front dealing with issues that affect the growth of business in Langley’s community of communities,” Johnston said.

He said a search for a new leader will be underway, with Whitehouse guiding the tran-sition.

“Lynn is a dynamo,” Johnston said. “We have big shoes to fill.”

As for Whitehouse, she said that she won’t stop working.

She’s planning to find a job, she said. Maybe one with, hopefully, fewer hours.

CHAMBER SERVICE

Longtime executive retiring


Lynn Whitehouse with Milt Kruger, a past Chamber president who was named H.D. Stafford Good Citizen of the Year Award last year. Kruger credited Whitehouse with mentoring him in his roles for the Chamber.

Where is the Chamber headed over the next few decades?

Business in Langley has changed a lot during the past few decades.

Langley was, for many years, a community whose busi-ness sector was defined by agri-culture and small retail shops.

Through the past few decades, that has changed tremendous-ly, and the Chamber’s role has changed with it.

Executive director Lynn Whitehouse said the Chamber has become much more active on the provin-cial level through the past few decades.

It has used its influ-ence to call for reduc-tions in red tape, and on the national level, it lobbied for a long time for the expansion of the Aldergrove border crossing now underway.

The Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce was one of the early partners in the Regional Business Licence program, and is still push-ing to expand it to more Lower Mainland communities.

Meanwhile, Langley is reach-ing out to the wider world, Whitehouse said.

“We have a lot of people getting into export, they’re really look-ing to expand their markets, and need a body to go to for help,” Whitehouse said.

The Chamber is already helping local businesses with things like certificates of origin, which have to be signed by local chambers for products heading out of Canada.

“I think there’s going to be a wider variety of businesses,” said Whitehouse.

Langley is not leaving behind agriculture, but other groups of businesspeople have become important.

Professionals like lawyers and account-ants, along with ser-vice businesses that do work like training, have begun settling in Langley.

Manufacturing began expanding in the 1980s and 1990s, and has grown so fast it is beginning to run

short of land in Aldergrove and Gloucester Industrial Park.

“I think this business commun-ity is going to change drastically in the next five to 10 years,” Whitehouse said. “It’s going to grow.”

Areas around 200th Street and 88th Avenue – near the Chamber’s new office – is one epicentre for future growth, Whitehouse said.

Dear Anne,I planted a redbud

and a pink dogwood two years ago, but they don’t seem to be grow-ing at all. I planted the trees in large, deep holes with peat moss and bonemeal. I left the burlap sacks on which may have been a mistake. The redbud

had a few flowers last spring and not many leaves. Some limb off-shoots were dried out and dead. The dog-wood bloomed nicely but the leaves seemed mottled and lifeless all summer. I did water them a fair amount last summer. What can I do to ensure better propagation of both trees.

Ron Tuckey, Burnaby

Leaving the burlap on could account for 90 per cent of the problem. Some people will tell you it doesn’t matter, but bur-lap doesn’t rot that fast, espe-cially if the soil is well-drained. The long, hot summers we’ve had would deter rotting even more.

It’s very likely that the tree roots were wrapped around in a circle within the burlap and if they grew at all would have been continu-ing to circle within the burlap instead of reaching out.

I am wondering why you called the holes ‘deep.’ If the trees were deeper in your holes than the soil lines on the trunk, they would have been too deep. Roots need oxygen which is why

many tree roots are

within a few inches of the

surface. I hate to recom-

mend lifting them again and re-planting

them because this will be another shock to trees which already aren’t doing well. But really, Ron, it’s the only way.

Remove the burlap completely and spread out the roots so they lead away from the trunk as you replant.

It’s best to put very little compost in the new planting

hole because you want the tree roots to have a good reason to reach out. Once the trees are safely planted, sprinkle some bonemeal and Sea Soil or manure around the drip line.

Before the summer, it would be useful to mulch around the trees with a layer of grass clippings to

hold in moisture.

Try to water the trees at least twice a week this summer if nature doesn’t do it for you.Dear Anne,

I have a pink and a purple calla lily over-wintering in the gar-age and some sprouts are starting to show on them. Both clumps are about five or six inches across. Should I div-ide them into smaller pieces? I’d like to give

them an early start inside the house, but I’m not sure when to bring them in.

Jean Lee, Port Coquitlam

It’s really best to divide your calla lilies in fall before you bring them in. But people in warmer climates where callas grow outside all year round, usually divide

them in spring.Like all bulb

and tuberous plants, callas

are quite resili-ent. The import-

ant thing is to divide them before

they start flowering.Since your clumps

have got quite big, they really need to be divided before flowers start to get fewer. So I’d say go ahead and divide them as soon as possible before the sprouts develop any more.

Smaller pieces are a good idea. But it’s best if each of the new clumps contains a few bulbs.

Right now is a good time to bring your calla lilies inside to give them an early start.

Hannah Rolfe is excited to go to Hogtown in the fall.

TROY [email protected]

Langley Mustang Hannah Rolfe will be Blue later this year – and that’s a good thing.

When fall rolls around, the Walnut Grove Secondary Grade 12 stu-dent-athlete jets off to the University of Toronto, where she’ll compete for the varsity Blues track and field team.

Rolfe said she chose the U of T based on the university’s “stellar academics, impeccable coaching and the atmosphere of the team and campus.”

“I’m so excited for next year to be competing as a Blue,” Rolfe said.

Rolfe becomes the third Mustang to sign this season to compete at the collegiate level.

“Hannah is an outstanding athlete and has worked hard for so many years,” Mustangs head coach Dwayne Lotnick noted. “She’s an amazing talent that is going to excel at the next level.”

Rolfe’s track career elevated to a higher stratosphere this past August when she won the Western Canada Summer Games high jump competition with a leap of 1.71 metres.

She called the 2015 Games in Wood Buffalo, Alta., “a lot of fun.”

“It was a great experience to be on Team BC with my friends,” Rolfe said. “Truthfully I wasn’t expecting to win, never mind attain a new personal best.”

When both happened, she said she was “elated.”

Winning Western Canada Summer Games gold and sign-ing a university track scholar-ship is the end result of nearly a decade of dedication for Rolfe, who started with the Mustangs when she was eight years old.

“My mom signed me up, convinced I’d do well,” Rolfe recalled. “Initially I was doubt-ful but after my first season in the junior development program run by Kevin Harrison, I grew to like it very much.”

She took a liking to a sport that comes naturally to her.

“The sprinting aspects pri-marily, then soon after, high jump became one of my better events, as well,” Rolfe said, adding, “I recall my first com-petition and being very nervous but managed to walk away with a third place in the high jump…”

The U of T wasn’t the only school that showed interest in Rolfe for the fall of 2016 – there was also Mississippi State University, Long Island University, the University of British Columbia, and University of Alberta.

In the end, Rolfe decided the Toronto was her best choice.

That said, she is taking a modest approach to the next chapter of her track career.

“I really don’t know what to expect out of my first year of collegiate competition,” Rolfe said. “I’m anxious to see how high the competition level is and to rise to the occasion. I’m very excited to start training with U of T, as well. I believe I’m ready for the next part of my journey at the collegiate CIS level.”

To prepare for the fall, Rolfe plans to compete in the University of Washington Open meet, the Oregon Relays, and, if all goes well, the B.C. high school provincial champion-ships followed by the junior nationals in the summer.

The hosts had a terrific weekend.TROY [email protected]

Fittingly, the sun shone on Family Day Monday, because it was a glorious finish to a golden weekend for Langley’s U18 tier one boys field lacrosse team.

The Langley Thunder captured the B.C. champion-ship on their home turf of Willoughby Community Park, edging the Coquitlam Adanacs 11-9 in the gold medal game.

“It’s pretty exciting, pretty gratifying. It’s awesome,” Thunder head coach Bryan Poole said. “A lot of these kids are players we’ve seen go through

the system and now they’re young men, and they’re a great bunch. Every player contributed to the win so it was pretty special, and a half dozen of the guys are graduating and going on to play university lacrosse.”

Poole added, “We have the best goalie in B.C., by far, in Levi Gallant. He had an amazing weekend.”

The hosts went undefeated over the weekend. Scores were:

• Friday, 12-8 win over Coquitlam (MVP Ryan Martel)

• Saturday, 7-4 victory over New Westminster (MVP Quinn McKitrick)

• Saturday, 9-2 win over Ridge Meadows (MVP Caleb Pearson)

• Sunday, 7-7 tie with Delta (MVP Levi Gallant)

• Monday for the gold medal: 11-9 vic-tory over Coquitlam (MVP Connor McNeill)

The B.C. champion Thunder include: Ryan Alcos, Quinn Beavis, Josh Brunsch, Matthew Brunsch, McKenzie Day, Colin Gormley, Trevor Hawley, Dylan Kaminsky, Everett Kellner, Nathaniel Kozevnikov, Jordan Lewis, Ryan Martel, Nathan McKeigan, Quinn McKitrick, Connor McNeill,

Chase Moore, Kyle Olsen, Caleb Pearson, Cole Radke, Cal Slade, Brenden Symons, Torin VanRheenan, Craig Whitton, and Levi Gallant.

The coaches are Bryan and Ian Poole, and the trainer is John Pearson.

The Thunder were taking part in the Subway B.C. Lacrosse Association U18, U15 and U13 tier one and tier two cham-pionships, held Feb. 5-8 at Willoughby Community Park.

Forty-five teams from Vancouver Island, Lower Mainland, Interior and the North competed for supremacy.

Family support key…continued from page A27

One constant is the family support pro-vided by her parents Sandy and Trent and younger brother Alex.

“My parents have always been extreme-ly supportive of my training and academic goals,” Rolfe said. “Without their support I surely wouldn’t be the athlete I am today, I’m so thankful for their love and encourage-ment through the years.”

Fifteen-year-old Alex is also an athlete, and plays hockey at Yale Secondary.

“He has an undeniably bright future ahead of him and is doing exceptionally well goal-tending this year on Yale’s U15 team,” Rolfe said.

Steven Wheelhouse is no stranger to Langley,

but he’s one of the newest kids on the block in Willoughby.

Wheelhouse is the franchise-owner of the DQ Grill & Chill restaurant in Willowbrook, and now the new store in Willoughby Town Centre.

While he opened the new restaurant – with its treats and cakes – back in mid-December, he held its official grand opening on Family Day, Feb. 8.

By all accounts it was quite the party: an ideal day for neighbours to welcome Steve and his 22-member staff to the community.> More: langleyadvance.com

ROXANNE HOOPER

Langley’s newest craft brewery is part of a booming industry.TROY [email protected]

Lance Verhoeff insists he isn’t a “beer snob.”

That’s not to say the gen-eral manager of Langley’s

Trading Post Brewing, which cele-brates its public grand opening this Saturday, Feb. 13, isn’t some-what of a craft beer connoisseur.

After all, his passion for stouts, ales, and lagers is a big reason why he decided to open the brew-ery/tasting room at 20120 64 Ave.

“I absolutely love craft beer but had only been introduced to it three or four years ago,” Verhoeff said. “My love for different styles of beer changes with the weather. Right now, I’m all about stouts, but come summertime, my beer choice will change to wheat ales or a crisp lager on a hot summer day.”

Trading Post is part of a craft brewery movement that’s sweep-ing across B.C. and much of North America. Last year, 22 craft brew-eries opened in B.C.

Combine that with the 24 open-ings in 2014, and 46 craft breweries that opened for business in the province over the past two years.

B.C. Craft Brewers Guild exec-utive director Ken Beattie noted that another 15 are slated to open

in the province this year, and that there are craft breweries located in roughly 50 communities across B.C.

Trading Post joins Aldergrove’s award-winning Dead Frog Brewery as prominent commercial craft brewers in Langley.

Meanwhile, Langley’s Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Brewing and

Brewery Operations program is the only brewing diploma program of its kind in B.C. – and one of only three in Canada. This spring 26 stu-dents could possibly graduate from the program, and therefore be fully qualified to be employed by one of the more than 100 craft breweries in B.C.

Verhoeff – who is co-founder of Trading Post along with his dad Paul – envisions the B.C. craft beer-making industry growing “astronomically” over the next few years.

“Many people talk about the hot spots in the USA like Portland and Denver, but I’ve been down to these hot spots, and the people down there talk about Vancouver and B.C. as an amazing craft beer scene in North America,” Verhoef said. “I don’t see this slowing down any time soon.”

Closer to home, Verhoeff will be overseeing operations but he’s leaving the brewing part up to the

expert: a man, he pointed out, who has “a ton of experience.”

“We’re lucky enough to have Tony Dewald as our head brew-er,” Verhoeff said. “Tony is very creative and has brewed up some innovative beers for the Langley community. One of our core val-ues is innovation and Tony defin-itely embodies this with our beer styles.”

Fittingly, the vision of Trading Post Brewing began over sharing a couple pints of

beer at a brewery. “My wife Marissa said, ‘How

amazing would be it run a brew-ery that is focused on making great beer and building com-munity all at the same time?’” Verhoeff shared.

So the idea of Trading Post took shape. Verhoeff deals with the day to day operations with his dad and Uncle Stephen being the other part-ners in the business

Trading Post will open with six different beers on tap, and have eventually eight beers on tap at a time.

All of them are named to tell the story

of the history of Langley and espe-cially stories that came from Fort Langley. Some of the beer names are: 1827 Helles Lager, Derby Hop Session Lager, Captain Cooper’s Cranberry Ale, and Owhyee Tropical Wheat Ale.

Eighty Years AgoFEBRUARY 6, 1936

ˠNewly elected Reeve Alex C. Hope was sworn in. The reeve’s first suggestion to council was the appointment of an administrator to handle the large amounts of relief money that was passing across the council table.

ˠ Former Langley reeve J. Wark died at his home in Burnaby, while the portrait of Langley’s second reeve, Adam Innes, was to be hung in the municipal hall. Innes was reeve in 1874-75 and again in 1880-81. Wark held the office in 1914-18. ˠCouncil discussed plans for a landing field east

of Langley Prairie to accommodate air mail service.

Seventy Years AgoFEBRUARY 7, 1946

ˠMP Tom Reid was to be guest speaker at the Langley Board of Trade at Murrayville Hall. Topics: a new post office, dredging Bedford Channel, and paving Jackman Road (272nd

St.) to the naval station. ˠPacific Stage Lines had plans for hourly bus service from Langley Prairie to Vancouver between 8:10 and 10:10 a.m., two-hourly service until 8:10 p.m., and a trip at 11:45 p.m.

Sixty Years AgoFEBRUARY 9, 1956

ˠGordon Greenwood, in

retiring as president of the Fort Langley Board of Trade, expected to receive definite word soon about whether or not a ferry service between Fort Langley and Albion would start in the coming year. ˠ Langley School District’s financial statements, published in the Langley Advance, included total

1955 expenditures of $721,747.41. ˠTownship council turned down a proposal for reciprocal trade licences with Langley City.

Fifty Years AgoFEBRUARY 10, 1966

ˠThe Salvation Army purchased the West Highland Dairy Farm, one of Langley’s show farms and one of Canada’s premier Jersey-breeding establishments. ˠThe Fort Langley Board of Trade asked the municipal council for a one-mill tax rate increase to enhance street-lighting in Fort Langley.

Forty Years AgoFEBRUARY 5, 1976

ˠExpansion of the “fundamental” or “value” school program at Langley Central Elementary School was announced, to include students from kindergarten to high school. The school board was also petitioned to help in transporting students from other parts of the district. ˠ Langley’s five school trustees voted to increase the school board to seven members. Superintendent Gerald Cuthbert predicted that the increase would not decrease trustees’ individual workloads, but instead would increase the amount of work required, as well as lengthening meetings.

Thirty Years AgoFEBRUARY 5, 1986

ˠA smoke detector woke the sleeping Earhart family and allowed them to escape their burning Glover Road home without injury.

Twenty Years AgoFEBRUARY 7, 1996

ˠHonours and applause from Langley City council and the local RCMP for Adam Katagiri and Ewan Bentley-Williams, both 18, and 10-year-old Kevin Erfle who had gone above and beyond in efforts to pull the woman from the swollen waters of the Nicomekl River. ˠBrae Island was to be purchased through B.C.’s Lower Mainland Nature Legacy Program. ˠTownship Councillor Mel Kositsky pulled out of the race for the Fort Langley-Aldergrove provincial Liberal nomination. Still in the running were long-time Liberal Township Councillor Steve Ferguson and former Social Credit stalwart Rich Coleman.

Left to cherish his memory are his beloved sister, Mae Smith and numerous nieces, nephews and extended family.

Predeceased by his parents Margaret and Herb Johannes; brothers Earl, Ross and Herb. Ernie was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. His early years were spent in Dugald, MB, coming West in 1948, to settle with his family in Langley, B.C. He graduated from Langley High, Class of ’52, where he had been active in sports. He was also involved with 4-H, swine and sheep clubs.

A mechanic by trade, he operated Ernie’s Capital Car Care in Fort Langley, 1983 - 1996. Two of his favourite pastimes were cooking and flower gardening - he took particular pride in his dahlias. He also enjoyed the outdoors - hunting, camping and fishing, as well as commercial gillnetting for a time. Ernie will be remembered for his kindness, generosity and humour. He was a quiet and hard-working man.

In honouring Ernie’s wishes, there will be no service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of BC - #300 - 16850 66 Avenue, Surrey, BC V3S 5M1 / Kidney Foundation of Canada, #200 - 4940 Canada Way,

Burnaby, B.C. V5G 4K6 or charity of your choice. Rest peacefully Gramps, we miss you.

Velissa Johnson It is with sadness that we announce

the passing of Velissa Marion Johnson. On Saturday, February 6, 2016, Velissa disappeared, and was found several hours later in a pond. Born April 11, 2013, she had a

beautiful innocent childhood, and only knew goodness, and love. She

loved talking to people, playing with her siblings, and pretending to talk on her phone. Her joy, smile, and adorable antics, of a 2 and a half year old, brought smiles to all around her.

It was a joy spending, the time we had with her. She will be missed by her eight brothers and sisters (Ellis, Elliot, Landell, Lochlan, Burklan, Shelise, Brylan, and Veleah), and parents, Craig and Sheri.

The memorial service is open to the public, and is at the Rose of Sharon Baptist Church

(26245 28 Ave, Aldergrove, BC V4W 2W3) at 1:00 pm, on Saturday, February 13.

In lieu of flowers, donation can be made for the Langley Memorial Hospital’s maternity ward, and the Advokate Life & Education Services.
