A Langley girl was namedMiss Teen BC at the annualpageant in Fort Langley onJune 30.by Heather Colpittshcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Standing amid a row of 15finalists, Burnaby’s Taylor Scottnever fathomed her name wouldbe called for Miss BC.

But the 20-year-old UBC stu-dent was crowned at a gala June30 in Langley, even if it was dif-ficult for the message to sink in.

“I couldn’t even compute whatDarren [Storsely, the pageantorganizer] was saying,” Scott saidabout the moment her name wasannounced.

Langley’s Brette Joyal waschosen as Miss Teen BC 2014 andnow she’s got the tiara to proveit – crowned at the Chief SepassTheatre Monday.

“I entered for the opportunityto spotlight mental health issues,”she said. “I’d really like to seechange on that.”

As soon as the winners wereselected, the stage filled withfamily and friends of the 50 con-testants offering hugs and con-gratulations to all those who tookon the challenge of the pageant.

For the past dozen years,Storsley, a Langley teacher, hasorganized these pageants with atwist.

He said that about 12 yearsago, he wanted to organizean event to help students inhis school with significant selfesteem problems. He thought itwould be a few months of effortbut it’s more than a dozen yearslater and he’s still organizing.

What started out with threevolunteers now has more than50. While there’s no lack of blingduring portions of the show, thecontestants must take a weekend

of workshops on topics such aspublic speaking, self defence forwomen, manners and etiquette,self esteem and assertiveness,and choreography. They alsofundraise for the pageant’s causeof choice, Cops for Cancer. Thecontributions have totaled morethan $100,000 over the years.

It was the scope of the pageant

that attracted Scott, a 20-year-oldUBC student.

“I was really excited to dosomething that was this reallygreat experience about empower-ment for women,” Scott said.

Students needing remedialcourses have fewer optionsfor summer school.by Heather Colpittshcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

It’s going to be a harsh lessonfor students who were relyingon summer school to make thegrade.

The Langley School District hascancelled programs because of

the labour dispute between teach-ers and the provincial govern-ment.

On Wednesday afternoon, thedistrict posted a notice online.

“To mitigate the impact of nosummer classes, administratorsare beginning to consider optionsand other learning opportunitiesfor students in the fall. The dis-trict is committed to meeting theneeds of students and will workclosely with families and studentsto ensure success and gradua-tion,” superintendent Suzanne

Hoffman said in a district state-ment.

The Labour Relations Boardruled on Friday, June 27, thatsummer school programs areessential only for students inGrades 10, 11, and 12 who faileda course during the 2013-2014year and who will not havethe opportunity to make up thecourse.

Those students may be able totake courses through the LangleyEducation Centre and its struc-tured or self-paced programs. The

district suggests people check outwww.lecss.com to learn aboutthe courses.

Most of the students in Langleysummer school were not takingremedial courses but enhance-ment/enrichment courses.

“While the cancellation of sum-mer session may cause concernfor some students’ graduationplans, every effort will be madeby secondary schools to accom-modate these students in the fallto minimize that impact,” shesaid.

Festivities took place aroundthe community to celebrateCanada’s 147th birthday.by Matthew Claxtonmclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Those most excited to cele-brate Canada Day in Langleywere likely the 50 new citizenssworn in Tuesday morningat the Fort Langley NationalHistoric Site.

“Very grateful, very happy,very honoured,” said BrendaBrewer, minutes after she wassworn in as a citizen.

Langley’s Roman Min, origin-ally from Myanmar, left hishome country as a child, head-ing to a refugee camp in nearbyThailand. When he was 23 hefinally got the chance to come toCanada, and he’s been waitingand working towards getting hisCanadian citizenship for the pastfour years.

“Very excited,” he said todescribe how he felt just beforethe ceremony.

Jo and Paul Hillier came fromEngland six years ago, planningto start a family and raise chil-

dren here.“We just felt they would have

better opportunities here,” Josaid.

Citizenship Judge Dane Minorwelcomed the new Canadiansand helped lead them throughthe oath in both English andFrench.

“Because of you, we welcomean expansion of our Canadianfamily,” Minor said, noting thatthere were people from 19 dif-ferent countries becoming newcitizens.

“Most Canadians are relativenewcomers,”Minor said, notingthat he himselfgained citizenshipin the 1970s.

Langley MPMark Warawaand Township Mayor JackFroese also welcomed the newcitizens.

“You have the freedom tobe whatever you want,” saidWarawa, who urged the newresidents to get involved in theircommunities and exercise theirrights to vote.

“You’re going to impact yourchildren and their children,for generations to come,” said

Froese.Kevin Kelly, speaking for his

wife, Kwantlen First NationChief Marilyn Gabriel, also notedthat many of the new residentshad likely come for a betterfuture for their children. Heurged them to celebrate the day.

“Not only Canada, but it’syour day today!” Kelly said.

Activities were taking place upand down the streets of the com-munity.

Free horse-drawn carriagerides were being offered aroundthe Fort, and volunteer black-

smiths wereshowing off theirskills at the B.C.Farm MachineryMuseum.

In LangleyTownship at

Willoughby Community Park,entertainment and multiculturalevents took place with numerouscommunity groups representedamong the many tents andbooths.

This was the first year that theLangley International Festivaland the Canada Day celebrationswere under one umbrella, organ-ized and presented together overfour days starting on June 28

with a sports festival.The event seems to have gone

off without a hitch and with ahigh attendance, said SarwanSingh Randhawa, with theInternational Festival Society.

“Towards the evening, it waspacked,” Randhawa said aboutJuly 1.

The organizers estimatedabout 15,000 people took part.

“Everything went very well,”Randhawa said.

The Festival of the Book wasunderway at the Fort LangleyCommunity Hall, and celebra-tions were taking place inAldergrove.

According to the Township’sPeter Tulumello, between 8,000and 10,000 people came to thearea around the CentennialMuseum in Fort Langley.

Around WilloughbyCommunity Park, parking was insuch short supply at some timesthat nearby homeowners rentedout space to visitors.

According to Langley RCMPCpl. Holly Marks, it was a veryquiet Canada Day for police.Officers helped round up a fewmisplaced children at CanadaDay events and caught a fewteens with alcohol, but therewere no other incidents.

A San Juan Islandvideographer hopes hisSpirit of the Coast footagetells a powerful story.by Roxanne Hooperrhooper@langleyadvance.com

The Spirit of the Coastcanoeists are out of communi-cation range this week, unableto transmit pictures, video, oreven texts and phone calls toregale those back home withanecdotes of their exploration.

But with Don Jonassonalong for the journey, many ofthose cherished memories arebeing recorded for posterityand future education.

Armed with several videocameras and even two drones,Jonasson is a hobbyist vid-eographer who is travellingalongside Langley’s BrandonGabriel and the rest of theSpirit team in his 22-footCatalina sailboat and captur-ing many highlights from thethree-month, 1,300-kilometrejourney.

Jonasson, a resident ofAnacortes, Wash., has adven-tured with Spirit’s skipperChris Cooper before – includ-ing two paddling trips throughScotland.

“This trip is going to beeven more fantastic thanScotland,” Jonasson said,admitting he did hesitate for amoment when Cooper askedhim to take part in this jour-ney.

The delay, Jonasson said,was not a question of hisdesire to be part of this excur-sion – far from it.

He was just reluctant toapproach his wife Ora withthe need to delay a three- tosix-month trek across the eastcoast of Canada and the U.S.in their 25-foot Airstream – atrip that had already been inthe works.

“She was incredibly under-standing,” Jonasson said.“So, we leave as soon as I getback, close to Sept. 1.”

Jonasson retired as a schoolteacher in 2005, and took upvideo as his “retirement pas-sion” almost immediately.

While he’s filmed and cre-

ated a number of videos,Jonasson said this will withoutdoubt be the most meaningfuland difficult.

“This is not only the mostexciting, but challenging,”Jonasson said, explaining thathe’s expecting it will takethe better part of six months(maybe more) to edit togetherhours upon hours of five- to10-second clips he’ll be takingalong the Spirit journey.

Thankfully, with detailedship logs, GPS, and old-fash-ion note-tak-ing, he hopesto keep it allorganized sothat, when hedoes finally sitdown to beginthe editing pro-cess, he’s notgoing to haveto rely on hismemory for much.

“I’m anticipating comingback with 15 to 20 hours offilm, at least,” he said. “Andthe drone is going to add awhole new learning curve.”

He expects post-productionwork will take 500 hours atleast, and said it will be aboutmuch more than stringing allthe footage together – he willhave a story to tell.

His wife will write music toaccompany the video.

“The issue in post-produc-

tion is to present the storyof the trip and the story ofthe land,” and much of thatthrough the eyes of the peoplehe’s travelling with.

Having travelled withCooper, and having also sailedup the B.C. coastline before,Jonasson chose not to shootfrom a seat in the canoe thistime.

He wanted a different, moreencompassing perspective tomost of the clips. Since he’sowned his sailboat for the past

four years, heknew it wouldoffer not onlythe differentvantage pointfor his cam-eras, but extrastorage for thecrew, and acomfortablebed to sleep in

each night.And to add another perspec-

tive to the trip, Jonasson tookto the air himself for someclips.

On departure day a monthback, floating debris in thefast-moving Fraser Riverposed too great a risk for hissailboat, so he video-tapedthe blessing services at theKwantlen First Nation reserve,then jumped in a helicop-ter and shot footage of thejourney’s commencement at

the Kwantlen boat launch, thepublic bon voyage party atthe waterfront plaza in FortLangley, and a little bit of pad-dling time along the BedfordChannel.

Cooper is optimistic thatthe varied filming Jonassonendeavours to gather of theentire journey will ultimatelybe appropriate for a documen-tary that could air on the likesof Discovery or KnowledgeNetwork when completed.

“Spirit of the Coast is aboutawareness, education, culture,environment, and most ofall, bringing attention to ourbeautiful B.C. coastline, andto share with Canadians whatan amazing place we have,”Cooper said.

“It is not a protest, butabout educating all who havenever seen it,” which is whyhe sees Jonasson’s footage assuch an integral part of theeffort.

“I love this coastline,”Jonasson said. “I think this ison the top of the list of beauti-ful places to live.”

He is anxious – like Cooperand the other canoeists par-ticipating in the trip – to see itsafeguarded and protected forfuture generations.

• Stay tuned for weekly updates onthe Spirit of the Coast journey, which

departed Fort Langley on June 1, boundfor Alaska.

Nickel anddime to crosseach timeIt will get more expensive to crossthe Fraser River to Maple Ridgestarting on July 15.by Matthew Claxtonmclaxton@langleyadvance.com

It will cost you another nickel tocross the Golden Ears Bridge betweenLangley and Maple Ridge starting inthe middle of this month.

TransLink announced that tolls arerising by five cents for cars, ten centsfor light trucks, and 15 cents for largetrucks for each trip.

Motorcyclists are the only group ofmotorists who will not be affected.

That will increase the cost of acrossing from $3 for a car with a tran-sponder or TReO decal to $3.05. Thenew highest level toll, for “pay as yougo” travel without a decal or a regis-tered license plate, will now be $4.30for a car.

Small trucks will cost between $6.10to $7.25 per trip, while large truckswill cost between $9.10 per crossing to$10.30.

Motorcycles with a transponder paynothing, and pay just $2.80 at thehighest pay as you go rate.

The increase is an adjustment due toinflation of about 1.5 per cent over thepast year.

While it’s an expected increase, itwill still have an effect on local busi-nesses and commuters, noted KristineSimpson, president of the GreaterLangley Chamber of Commerce.

“We’ve got a bit of a captive audi-ence,” Simpson noted, as the PortMann is also tolled, and there areplans to eventually replace the PatulloBridge with a tolled structure.

The Langley Chamber wants to seewider road pricing and tolls aroundthe region to lower costs and pay forimproved infrastructure, rather thanputting the onus on drivers from thisarea to take on the costs.

According to TransLink, the use ofthe Golden Ears has gone up steadilysince 2009, and is now up by 25 percent since the first year of tolled cross-ing in 2010. In the first quarter of thisyear there were more than 3.5 millioncrossings compared to the same threemonths in 2013.

Don Jonasson is a retired American teacher who is sailing up the coast with the Spirit of the Coast team, documenting the trek.

Our View

Outta my way,slowpoke

Is the tailgater behind you causing youundue stress because you’re already drivingat the speed limit?

The provincial government has the solu-tion to your problem: drive faster.

That’s one of the recommendations beingimplemented from a provincial road safetyand speed review that may raise a few eye-brows.

After assessing more than 9,000 kilo-metres of B.C. highways over the past year,the province will “adjust” the speed limitfor about 1,300 km.

That will include bringing in a new over-all maximum speed of 120 km/h, as well astrying out “variable speed zones” along sec-tions of the Trans-Canada, Coquihalla, andSea-to-Sky Highways.

Other changes stemming from the reviewinclude redefining “winter tires” and cuttinga month off their season (ending March 31,instead of April 30).

New regulations and enforcement provi-sions for “keep right except to pass” willplease those who are frustrated by slowdrivers – and those who feel no one else isever going fast enough.

While many of the changes – like thoseaimed at reducing crashes involving wildlife– make good sense and will be welcomeduniversally, some leave us scratching ourheads.

For instance, at a time when Germanauthorities have re-opened debate over thepossibility of setting speed limits on theirfamous Autobahn – with proponents citingstudies indicating it would reduce seriouscrashes – the idea of raising speed limits inB.C. seems counter-intuitive.

If the goal is to reduce accidents causedby frustrated drivers, a better solution mightbe to increase enforcement to get those frus-trated drivers off the road.

And we’re not sure how a new require-ment for drivers with more than fivevehicles backed up behind them to pull overwill work during rush hour.

Last week’s question:What is the biggest influence that professional sports has on our youth?

Advance Poll…

In the early 20th Century, Canada didn’thave much of a navy. We were still conjoinedwith Britain, and one of the consuming federalissues of the pre-First World War years waswhether to properly fund a real and independ-ent Canadian Navy.

Then the war came. And for a brief andstrange time, not only did Canada have anavy, but British Columbia hadone, made up solely of two subma-rines.

In July 1914, war panic was set-tling in over the British Empire.The politicians and merchants ofVictoria were worried about thevast coast of British Columbia– and about the fact that a pair ofGerman warships were somewherein the North Pacific. By Aug. 5, Britain woulddeclare war and bring Canada along.

B.C. Premier Richard McBride wanted todefend his coast. So he did an end-run aroundthe entire military establishment, and acted ona tip that two submarines were finished andready to ship out from a dock in Seattle.

The subs had been built for the ChileanNavy, ordered in 1911. However, theChileans had fallen behind on their payments.James Paterson of the Seattle Dry Dock andConstruction Company was doing the assem-bly work on the boats, and he let McBride andothers know that they were up for grabs.

He forgot to mention that one of the reasonsChile had stopped paying was that the subshad failed to meet performance specifications.

With the Germans allegedly approaching,McBride jumped on the deal.

The price? Unknown. The capabilities of thesubs? Unknown. Torpedoes? Nope, none to behad on the West Coast.

But war was approaching, so McBride signed

the contracts and Paterson sold the subs for$1.15 million. Which happened to be $332,000more than Chile had planned to pay. Patersonpocketed about $35,000 in brokerage fees onthe deal.

Another complication was that the boats hadto be smuggled out of Seattle under cover ofdarkness. The U.S. had just introduced legisla-tion to stay out of the war, including a ban onsales of warships to either side. Paterson ush-ered the ships into Canadian waters on Aug. 5,hours before the president would sign the bill.

The new subs should have then sailed intoEsquimault Harbour to a triumphant crowd.Instead, they were almost shelled by panickyCanadian militia gunners.

No one apart from McBrideand a few compatriots knewabout the purchase. So the bat-teries at Black Rock loadedshells and prepared to fire,assuming they were under attackby German torpedo boats.

Fortunately, a second lookrevealed a white flag, possiblythe White Ensign, possibly a

pillowcase, flying from the mast of one sub.The Canadian Navy belatedly accepted the

subs, and rustled up crews from scratch,including a couple of lads who had never seenthe ocean before. They quickly learned thatthe Chileans had been wise to express reserva-tions.

The subs could dive. In fact, they coulddive too well, plunging straight down in somecases, far faster than was safe. They hadtrouble emptying and flooding ballast tanks– opening the tanks revealed planks, rags, anda pair of overalls left during construction.

If the early submariners had known moreabout the boats, they might have been reluc-tant to even go aboard. “We were endowedwith the valour of ignorance,” one later said.

The two subs, CC1 and CC2, never fired ashot in anger, but they did train up a numberof Canadian submariners.

And as for the German warships steamingup the coast? They never even approachedBritish Columbia.

Subs’ start was comedy of errors

Dear Editor,My wife and I had the

honour and privilege to par-ticipate in the 3rd CAV Rideto Remember those fallen inAfghanistan.

We started the ride at theTrev Deeley Harley Davidsondealership in Vancouver andheaded out on a motorcycleconvoy to the Derek DoubledayArboretum in Langley.

In the procession of motor-cycle riders were regular mil-itary forces members, retiredveterans, firefighters, police,family members, and civilians.

Along the route were firetrucks (some with ladders risen),police and emergency vehicles withtheir lights flashing, and otherswith signs and Canadian flags.

They were all at the overpassesshowing respect for the Ride for theFallen, and of course, a formal tribute.

When we got to the Derek DoubledayArboretum, the motorcycles lined the walk-way. There was a ceremony where silvercross families laid wreaths in memory ofthose who lost their lives in Afghanistan.Michael Pratt spoke on behalf of the Youth

for the Fallen (he and his sisterElizabeth had organized trees to beplanted for the fallen and a monu-ment constructed in the shape of atree with all the names labeled on it).

It was a very emotional and heart-warming ceremony where all of us

could enjoy the day and show our grateful-ness for those who defend Canada’s free-doms that we enjoy today.

To quote the CAV, “Our soldiers are ourgreatest advocates of peace, because theypay the ultimate sacrifice.”

Dear Editor,Your article [No easy fix

for all parking problemsin Willoughby, June 26,Langley Advance] states that aparking “report” (which isa waste of money) claimsthere is ample parkingbecause they noticed thatsome of the driveways areempty.

If cars are in the garagesof the houses, then owners

can’t have the suites parkin the driveway, blockingthem in. It’s irrelevant ifsome people choose to usetheir garages or not; theycan’t have the suite tenantsblocking in the owners’cars.

Remember that home-owners are now chargedfees and 30 per cent moretaxes for having suites– so council cannot claim

parking is not their issue.They know about, chargefor, and in fact, encouragesuites in these new housesas “affordable housing,”therefore the designs of theneighbourhoods need toaccommodate the suites,including parking.

Councils’ comments arelaughable to date:

• Transit – what transit?• Half-width roads are

fully developed (come look).• Per above, some drive-

ways are not used so carsare not blocked in garages.

Councillors need to usetheir own brains, they don’tneed to waste money onreports when the publicis telling them the simple,obvious stuff.

Time to develop with aplan (OCP) that works forsociety, including tenantsof suites, not just develop-ers, their profits, and “ironicrevenues” which cause ourtaxes to rise each year.

High density needs properparking and schools. Untilcouncil can provide that,please pause developmentand make better plans.

Fresh paint a refreshing lookDear Editor,

I’m just making a comment about the newly painted out-house just off 200th Street. Kudos to the team behind it tospruce it up. It has given it a fresh, fun vibe to the park.

It would be nice to see more of it!Nancy Shatzko Langley City

Response

Poet’s tribute speaks for allDear Editor,

What a fabulous tribute Doris Reidwig’s poem is [Hatsbear witness to life, June 26 Letters, Langley Advance].

And it made me think of the other professions andpeople, as well. Her poem says it all, for everybody.

Thank you!Jacquie Graham, Langley

Dear Editor,Thanks to Langley school trustees for

writing to urge government and teachers toreturn to the bargaining table before moredamage is done to students and education.

Trustees know that they have had tomake difficult decisions, cutting servicesand programs because of lack of funding.

Are Langley’s high-profile cabinet minis-ters Rich Coleman and Mary Polak advocat-ing for Langley students in caucus?

Taxpayers elected trustees to advocatefor our students. They need to advocate formore funding. I wouldn’t mind paying moretaxes to restore levels we had 10 years ago.

Education is an investment in our future.Ken Tannar, Langley

A Langley residentis joined by fellowLangleyites and

former students in aproduction ofJulius Caesar.

by Ronda Paynenews@langleyadvance.com

One ofShakespeare’smost epictales of greed,

corruption, patriotism,and collusion goes onstage throughout Julyas Bard in Valley’s(BIV) fifth production.

Julius Caesar comesto life with the helpof producer DianeGendron, directorDarcy J. Knopp, andamong a numberof volunteers, for-mer H.D. StaffordSecondary teacher andBIV co-technical direc-tor Ron Williams.

Taking place on threestages this summer, theperformance puts a lotof pressure on Williams to ensureeverything goes off without a hitch,making him the star behind thescenes.

“When you do theatre for28 years, you’ve probably hadevery problem you can think of,”Williams noted. “You have to do itall when you’re the drama teach-er.”

As the theatre and drama teacherat H.D. Stafford, Williams foundhimself filling many roles duringhis teaching career.

It gives him the ability to respondto the needs of an intense perform-ance like Julius Caesar.

Those unfamiliar with the playwill find it contains the first useof well-known lines like: “Et tu,Bute?”, “It was Greek to me”, and“Friends, Romans, Countrymen,lend me your ears.”

Based on the political rise andfall of an empire more than 2,000years ago, the story focuses on theassassination of the Roman leaderand the internal and external con-flicts that arise before, during, andafter Caesar’s death.

While Caesar may hold the titlename, it is Brutus who takes centrestage which means technical skill

as well as acting mustcome into play for thosein front of and behindthe scenes.

Williams downplayshis own part in the pro-duction, instead focusingon the accomplishmentsof the others involved.

“I’ve been really, real-ly impressed with thededication of the youngpeople,” he said of hisfellow volunteers.

“It’s nice to see thesekids succeeding anddoing well.”

The producer recog-nizes the skill Williamsbrings.

“Bard in the Valley isfortunate to have RonWilliams on our team.He brings a great depthof theatrical knowledgeand expertise to our pro-ductions and to the BIVboard,” Dianne Gendronsaid.

Williams contributedto the development ofothers on the BIV team.He taught technicianErik Jensen, one of theBIV board members, andKnopp who is the direc-tor of the production.

“Darcy, who is the director, wasa student of mine from Grade 8 to12,” Williams said. “I think Darcy’sbrought such an edge to it [theplay].”

Langley residents make up eightof the cast members including thepivotal roles of Brutus and Portia,yet it takes many others to bring theperformance to life.

“Bard in the Valley is able to con-tinue to bring this exciting summertheatre to Langley because of thewonderful support from the com-munity and the 60 talented anddedicated cast, crew, and productionteam who volunteer their time andenergy for the season, because wewant to give something worthwhileback to the community,” notedGendron.

See the production free on July 24,25, 26, 27, 31, and Aug. 1, 2, and 3on the Spirit Square stage at DouglasPark at 7 pm. or 2 p.m. for Sundaymatinees.

The Township 7 Winery presentsJulius Caesar for $20 on July 11, 12,18, 19, and 20 at 7 p.m. or 2 p.m. forthe Sunday matinee.

Paul Sharpe’s art came froma place of pain, but is vibrant,alive, and colourful.

by Matthew Claxtonmclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Paul Sharpe’s artworks resemblepaintings – from up close the swirlingcolours seem to resolve into thou-sands of fine brush strokes.

Yet the longtime local residentactually began as a photographer,and the works on display this monthat the Malek Gallery in Langley Cityare an outgrowth of that artform.

Sharpe is originally fromLincolnshire in England, and camefrom an artistic family. One grand-father was a sketch artist, on theother side of his family, and a grand-mother created seashell art.

After studying art in secondaryschool, Sharpe got into photographyat 19 when he bought his first cam-era in Hong Kong.

“I just enjoyed making colourfulphotographs,” he said.

He worked professionally, doingproduct photos for catalogues andbrochures.

Meanwhile, he followed several ofhis other family members and movedto the west coast of Canada. He livedin Murrayville for 15 years and hasrecently moved to Cloverdale.

His transition from professionaland hobby photographer to digitalartist came about at one of the low-est points in Sharpe’s life.

“I’ve been really depressed for fiveyears,” Sharpe said.

He began using art to drag himselfout of his depression.

The first creations weren’t donewith the idea of showing thempublicly, Sharpe simply wanted toexpress himself, “and create some-thing totally different, that I’d neverseen before,” he said.

“Each piece starts off as a longexposure photograph,” said Sharpe.

One of the paintings at this month’sshow, Rushing Through Your Veins,will be given away as part of afundraiser for the Juvenile DiabetesFoundation.

Rushing Through Your Veins andSharpe’s other works can be seen atthe Malek Gallery at 20573 FraserHwy., through July.

When a gardenis friendly towildlife, thejoy of their

presence is not the onlybenefit.

Food crops and flowersget pollinated and pest lev-els decline – though nevercompletely vanish. If theydid, the predators wouldseek food elsewhere.

Later, pests would returnin masses.

The key to a wildlife-friendly garden is avoidingpesticides and herbicides,and ideally in dense areas,this would be a commun-ity effort.

Where gardens are tiny,if some neighbours stillspray, their habits driftover and under fences intoneighbouring space. Pestsdie – but so do beneficialinsects and pollinators.

Even in tiny gardenssome things help create amore wildlife-friendly set-ting. Container gardenscould include one largepot of bee- and butterfly-friendly plants.

Where space is tight,you could double thebenefit and choose edibleherbs such as parsley, dill,and sweet cicely.

If you let them flower,hundreds of hover-flies(like tiny bees) and otherpollinators gather to sipnectar.

Increasing food for pol-linators has benefits inlater years for neighbour-ing gardens, as well asyour own.

In somewhat larger gar-dens, the flowers of kaleand cabbages, calendula,Butterfly Weed (Asclepiastuberosa), and sweet alys-sum are especially attract-ive to bees and butterflies,as are wild plants likegoldenrod, fireweed,and chickory.

The cover cropbuckwheat is also abee favourite.

White cloverdeserves a specialmention. Bees love itand it flowers for longperiods.

It’s supplied insome grass seed,because like otherlegumes, it addsnitrogen to the soilwhere it’s grown.

It can also bea substitutelawn whichstays green indrought anddoesn’t needfrequentmowing.

As a covercrop, it’s

hugely nourishing, but it’shard to remove, becauseof its deep roots.

The news that bee-killingpesticide residue has beenfound on some bee-friend-ly plants is definitely goodreason to ask nursery staffthe status of plants you’reconsidering buying.

But if staff aren’t sure(often plants are grownelsewhere), there are waysof keeping our gardenssafer.

With shrubs and peren-nials, removing all flowersthe first year, then cuttingthe stems back during thefirst winter guarantees thatbees won’t visit till they’resafe.

Some annuals, such ascalendula, cosmos andnigella are easy to plant byloosening the soil with arake, scattering the seed,then raking it in.

Besides attractive plants,the thing that draws morewildlife to a garden thananything else is water.

Tiny space means having atiny water supply. Insectsneed pool margins, andthey’d enjoy a big saucerof water holding a flat,shallow rock tapering towater level at least on oneside.

Shallow birdbaths can beused by insects, too, butbirds get more use out ofthe deeper ones for drink-ing as well as splashing.Birds also drink from con-tainer ponds, but they doneed a place to perch.

Both water sources needto be renewed frequentlyso that the water staysclean.

If birds are to use them,they should also be placednear shrubs or trees, tooffer quick escape frompredators.

Where there is space,native berrying shrubsand trees such as Indianplum, with its orange ber-ries ripening to black, orthe incandescent red-ber-ried elder attract masses ofbirds in season.

Langley liftersets B.C. markIn his first competition, Adam Masse set anew B.C. record in the clean and jerk.

Adam Masse impressed in South Surrey lastweekend.

The 23-year-old Langley lifter was among thosetaking part in the 42nd annual Sea Festival OpenOlympic Weightlifting Competition on June 28 and29.

Hosted by the Semiahmoo Weightlifting Club,the IWF-sanctioned event drew roughly 100 com-petitors in the various weight classes for womenand men from various clubs, as well as a few ath-letes who are not affiliated with a lifting club.

In Olympic weightlifting, there are two disci-plines: the snatch (a direct lift over the liftershead) and the clean and jerk (which has a pauseat the shoulders before extending the weight overyour head).

Lifters are given three attempts in each disci-pline to obtain the greatest amount of weight on asuccessfully judged lift.

One of those unaffiliated lifters was Masse, whoentered his first competition and competed in thesenior men’s 77 kilogram division.

The 77 kg division saw 15 competitors, andMasse not only came out on top in each disciplinewith a 115 kg lift in the snatch, he also set a B.C.provincial record in the clean and jerk with a liftof 151 kg.

In doing so, Masse out-lifted his closest competi-tor by 54 kilograms.

Masse’s 151 kg clean and jerk lift broke therecord set in May by Richard Kam of Burnaby’sUltimate Weightlifting.

Kam currently holds the 77 kg snatch and com-bined records that were set on his way to winningthe 77 kg Canadian Senior Championships, whichMasse did not attend.

Masse took up Olympic weightlifting about twoyears ago and is self-trained with his good friendand training partner, also a Langley native, TylerThistlewaite.

Most days you can find them at Langley’sCampus Crossfit where as Crossfit instructors theyare putting athletes through the paces or goingthrough their own personal regimes.

Off to BeijingMasse’s goal is to develop, become a better

lifter, and see where it may lead.Part of his process is to do some training and

learn from some of the best competitors in theworld.

For this, he will leave for Beijing China laterthis month, to spend a few weeks with some ofthe world’s best lifters, coaches, and top ChineseOlympians.

When Masse returns from China, he’ll return totraining, and most likely preparation for the KiloOpen provincial qualifier in November and thenthe B.C. championships in December.

Masse will likely compete in the 77 kg divisionagain and can expect to do battle with Kam forthe title, or he will move up to the 85 kg divisionwhere he says he feels stronger.
