Twenty-four charges have been laid against a Langley man at the conclusion of two investigations of break-ins at two City apartment parking garages. Police were called twice on Sept. 23 for similar complaints to apartment complexes in the 20800 and 20900 blocks of 56 Avenue. In both instances multiple vehicles had been broken into and items stolen. An officer from Langley’s Street Enforcement unit was able to identify a possible suspect from the surveillance photographs taken in the two garages. Police allege Patrick Wayne Eliason, is responsible for the break-ins and thefts and he is now behind bars facing numerous charges, including failing to comply with probation orders. “These are the types of crimes that frustrate and anger most residents of our community and they are by far the most common,” said Langley RCMP Insp. Murray Power. “It takes a great deal of policing resources to capture these types of criminals and Langley detachment is regularly making that investment,” said Power, the new officer in charge. “Unfortunately this is but one suspect and we require continued support and vigilance of everyone to stay on top of their activities.” Eliason has been remanded in custody and is to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Dec. 16.

Water line behind schedule ‘CHALLENGES, SITE CONDITIONS’ CITED OVER ALDERGROVE PROJECT
DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
Work on the $33.5 million East Langley water line has fallen behind schedule. Township engineering and community development manager Ramin Seifi said Monday that “challenges and site conditions encountered in the field” will delay the scheduled completion by a “few weeks … from late 2014 to early 2015.” One of those challenges was running the line underneath the Salmon River near 56 Avenue
and 240 Street, when crews encountered large boulders deep in the ground. Work was held up for about seven days because the contractor digging the line had to switch drilling methods to punch through the rock, driving a pilot pipe horizontally through the ground rather than using an auger to drill it out. Because the new method is less precise, the pipe ended up three feet lower than it was supposed to when it emerged on the other side of the fish-bearing stream.
That will require an adjustment to the pipe alignment, but it is not expected to mean more delays. On Tuesday, when a Times reporter visited the site with a group that included three local residents and a member of the Township engineering staff, trees in the densely-forested valley had been cleared along the pipe route on both sides of the waterway (Two candidates for Township council, Clint Lee and Kevin Mitchell, also attended). The cleared-out path runs be-
side the properties of residents Don DeVoretz and David Gilroy, who said the Township should have considered using less disruptive methods that would have preserved the trees. DeVoretz called the clear-cutting “horrific.” Gilroy said while the Township has told him saving the trees would have cost considerably more than clear-cutting, replanting the area won’t be cheap, either.

Well, rail ties snag Timms construction RECREATION CENTRE EXPECTED TO REMAIN ON SCHEDULE DESPITE UNEXPECTED DISCOVERIES M O N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Tim e s Re po r t e r
You never know what you are going to find when you start digging a huge hole in the centre of town. Construction crews at the site of the new Timms Community Centre have turned up numerous interurban rail ties and an artesian well, said Langley City CAO Francis Cheung. “We hit a few FRANCIS snags recently. We CH E U N G found more interurban ties than we thought we would and we had to cap off an artesian well,” said Cheung at the Monday night City council meeting. The interurban used to run right through where the Timms Centre will be on Douglas Crescent.
But the goal is still to have the $14.3 million centre ready for the end of 2015, said Cheung. “I am meeting with the project manager next week to get an update.” Surrey construction company DGS Construction, along with Hughes Condon Marler Architects, won the contract to build the 35,000 square foot facility that will be attached to City Hall. The centre will include a weight room, gymnasium, indoor walking/running track, change rooms, games room, community kitchen, coffee shop and multipurpose rooms. Access and parking at the library and City Hall from Douglas Crescent and the underground parking are no longer available. There is minimal parking available on the north side of City Hall. The library is also undergoing renovations in conjunction with construction of the new Timms Centre.

Work continues on the new $14.3 million Timms Community Centre next to Langley City Hall. During the first several weeks of construction, workers have encountered a number of rail ties from the old Interurban and had to cap an artesian well. The centre is expected to be complete in December 2015.
Pipeline neighbour fears threat to area wells From Page 1
Gloria Stelting, who lives across the river from DeVoretz and Gilroy, on the east side in the North Otter area, is concerned the excavation of the pipeline could hurt the wells in her neighbourhood. Stelting said in 1976, the installation of a drainage line in the same area to take storm water to the Salmon River accidentally drained the groundwater supply and dried out wells. Even after the damage was repaired, Stelting said water levels remain “permanently down about two feet.” Stelting said she and her neighbours have decided against connecting to the new water line because of the cost, estimated at $30,000 or more (payable over several years). Township engineering technologist Tara Macrae said the area on both sides of the Salmon will be replanted and will look
considerably better in about a year. “When you’re in the midst of construction, it’s not pretty,” Macrae said. Another issue cited by Macrae and Seifi concerns a section of pipe that turned out to be too thin. “I understand a section of pipe through the casing [of the line] had to be replaced due to incorrect specifications,” Seifi said. “The correct water main pipe (as per the design) has been installed.” There was also a Sept. 13 incident where a subcontractor using a boring machine to push pipe under Michael’s Brook, upstream from the Nicomekl Enhancement Society hatchery, caused a collapse, dumping sediment into the water. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans required restoration of both the collapsed area of Michael’s Brook and everything downstream before salmon started spawning. The remediation work was done “by, and
under the supervision of, qualified professionals that specialize in the various related fields, under the approval of senior government,” Seifi said. Seifi described the setbacks as “temporary disturbances, that are not uncommon with a construction project of this GLO RIA size, scope and comS TELTIN G plexity.” Seifi added the project is still within budget “with no indications that it will not be completed within budget.” On Wednesday, Township Water Resources and Environment Manager Kevin Larsen said another potential glitch involving a crucial pumping station has been resolved.
There were concerns the Metro Vancouver pump station being built in Maple Ridge, which is required for the operation of the East Langley Water Supply, was behind schedule. There is now every indication that the Metro Vancouver pump station will be done by June, Larsen said. That should means there will be no Stage Three watering restrictions in Aldergrove and Gloucester this summer, just the same lawn sprinkling regulations as the rest of Metro Vancouver. “There are always challenges and bumps along the way, when you take on a complex project of this size and scope,” Larsen said. The project, the largest ever undertaken by the Township, will bring Metro Vancouver water from Willoughby to Aldergrove through 14 kilometres of pipe. The area is currently served by seven groundwater wells.

Last year’s procession in Fort Langley made its way along Glover Road. This year’s route will take marchers across the cemetery to the cenotaph.
Services planned at three Langley cenotaphs Thousands of Langley residents are expected to show their respects at the three Remembrance Day ceremonies being held on Nov. 11 in Langley. The services will take place at the Fort Langley, Langley City and Aldergrove cenotaphs. In Fort Langley, a procession will start at 10:25 a.m. at the west end of the Fort Langley Cemetery, near the intersection of St. Andrew’s and Nash Streets. It will then make its way toward the cenotaph, following the gravel and grassed roadways within the cemetery’s boundaries, passing by the graves of close to 300 veterans buried in the cemetery. The service will begin at 10:40 a.m. In Langley City, the procession begins at 10:25 a.m., at the Langley Legion at 206 Street and travels south
to 56 Avenue, finishing at Douglas Park Cenotaph at 20550 Douglas Cres. The ceremony begins at 11 a.m. The parade in Aldergrove leaves 268 Street and Old Yale Road at 10:25 a.m., heads south along 268 St. to Fraser Highway, then west to the Aldergrove Legion at 26607 Fraser Hwy. The service starts at 10:40 a.m. It will be followed by a potluck lunch and entertainment at the Legion. There is no formal service at the Murrayville Cemetery at 21405 44 Ave. but residents often gather at the cenotaph to pay their respects. Some 200 soldiers are buried there. The Fraser Blues vintage aircraft team plans to do a flypast of all the ceremonies in Langley at or near the 11 a.m. mark.

This 47-foot yacht is now at the bottom of the Fraser River after the boat caught fire and sank on Tuesday morning in Fort Langley. The owner had recently purchased the yacht, worth around $500,000.
Yacht catches fire, sinks A 47 foot Bayliner yacht valued at around $500,000 was destroyed and sunk in an early morning fire on Tuesday. Around 8:30 a.m., Township fire crews were called to a private dock in the 10200 block
of Allard Crescent where the boat was already fully engulfed, while floating in the Fraser River. No one was on the boat at the time of the fire. Township firefighters had a tough time with the fire and af-
ter putting enough water on it, the boat sank, confirmed assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson. The owner is having it taken out of the Fraser by professionals, he said. The fire doesn’t appear suspicious.
Police look at two hit-and-runs Langley RCMP are investigating two separate hit-and-runs involving teenage girls. On Wednesday, Oct. 29, at 8:20 p.m., two teenage girls were walking in the 20200 block of 32 Ave. when a white Dodge or Ford pick up truck drove past the girls a short distance and stopped. The vehicle began to reverse onto the shoulder of the road and ran over one of the girl’s ankles. She started to scream and the driver put the vehicle back into drive and fled eastbound. It’s not known what the driver’s intent was. The injured girl required surgery for her crushed ankle and is now recovering. The vehicle is described as a white pickup truck, clean, with a lift kit, mud tires and bush lights on top of the cab. The two occupants of the truck are described as Caucasian men in the 20s. The first hit and run took place in Walnut Grove on Oct. 25 around 6:45 p.m. at the intersection of 88 Ave. and 202 St. Two teenage girls were crossing 88 Avenue southbound in the crosswalk when they were struck by a vehicle making a left
turn from 88 to 202 eastbound. The two girls were sideswiped by the vehicle and knocked to the ground. The girls
were treated at the scene by paramedics. The vehicle is described as a newer model white SUV or van.
Steve Ferguson Thinking outside the box to save taxpayers money.
If anyone has any information with either one of these hit and run investigations, call Langley RCMP at 604532-3200.

A decision on a proposed development in the Gloucester Estates industrial park has been delayed by Township Council after the builder admitted 82 trees were cut down without proper permission. A spokesman for the developer, Beedie Development Group, said the clear-cutting of the property near 55 Avenue and 272 Street was the result of a “miscommunication.” Under the terms of a restrictive covenant with the Township, the trees were not supposed to be touched until council had a chance to review the proposal to construct two buildings totaling 8,000 square metres. While it is likely most of the trees would be coming down, the elimination of them all left council with nothing to decide. “Everything is gone,” neighbour Lynda Lightfoot told council’s Oct. 27 evening meeting. “It’s a sandbox.” Lightfoot was asking for a delay to allow site drainage issues to be
addressed. There will be a delay, but it’s to allow Township staff and the developer to discuss some form of compensation for the tree-cutting. Councillor Kim Richter said the developer ought to be required to replace the trees and not be permitted to build anything until the new timber was the same height as the old. B EV “I just don’t DOR NAN think it’s OK to break the rules,” Richter said. Councillor Bev Dornan said the trees would have gone anyway, and it made no sense to hold up a “good, job-producing” project. “We should move forward and not get hung up,” Dornan said. When it came to a vote, a majority of council opted to hold off a decision on the development permit to give staff time to discuss some kind of make-good with the developer.

More bad financial news for Langley Canada Day event ORGANIZERS FALL $12,000 BEHIND ON THEIR BILLS; TOWNSHIP DEFERS DECISION ON $10,000 BAIL-OUT D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A detailed financial report shows the combined Langley International Festival and Canada Day celebrations lost money because the Canada Day event came up $37,783.12 short. The International Festival actually ended up in the black, posting a $3,268.29 surplus. The revenue and expenses statement was included in a report to council by Township recreation, culture and parks director David Leavers (and can be viewed at langleytimes.com). The Oct. 23 report said the group that operates the two events as two different societies has fallen behind on its bill payments as a result of the shortfall. “Staff have the details of how much is owed, and to whom, and are advising council that this outstanding amount exceeds $12,000,” the Leavers report stated. “Having analyzed this detail further, it would seem that an immediate influx of cash in the amount of $10,000 is required by the two societies in order to meet their most immediate ob-
ligations.” The Leavers report went on to say Township council could give the money to the Langley International Festival Society and the Langley Canada Day Celebrations Society in the form of a one-time grant “to allow them to meet their immediate financial obligations and continue with plans for 2015.” Leavers added members of the two societies would be attending the Monday Oct. 27 meeting of council, the last meeting of Township council before the municipal elections. “If council chooses to add this as an “other business” item, it would be most appropriate to do so at the 7 p.m. [public] meeting.” However, there was no discussion of a bail-out during the public council session of Oct. 27. The matter has been deferred until at least Dec. 15, when Leavers said the organizers have asked to appear before council as a delegation. At that time, he said, “council should anticipate a request … for a repayable loan early in
2015 to assist them with the start-up costs that will be required prior to next years’ two events.” Staff expect the overall request will be for “approximately $24,500.” Leavers also noted that while the international festival is in the black, “ … it has a number of outstanding liabilities that it is carrying as a result of their limited cash flow position.” The financial crisis was disclosed at the Sept. 29 council meeting by Shar Dubas and Bal Sabharwal of the Langley International Festival Society, which took over the duties of the Langley Canada Day Celebrations Society in January of this year. They blamed the problem on a $35,500 Canadian Heritage grant that was approved, then withdrawn because the combined Canada Day and multicultural festival was supposed to run three days, not two. At the time, councillors said they needed more details about the finances.

Uncommitted Votes… maybe I can help! ADVERTORIAL
METRO VANCOUVER VS THE TOWNSHIP OF LANGLEY I’m hoping Metro Vancouver wins its Court battle against the Township of Langley and this is why… I’ve done some research on two large hay fields located within the Township. The first is 6205 Glover Road, which consists of 80.338 acres of hay bearing land. The 2013 tax assessment on this property was farm status at $259,398 and the property taxes were $3,116.04. The 2014 assessment now shows residential and has jumped to $2,900,000 and it now is taxed at $13,483.23. This property is located just east of Costco (208th and 64th) on the north side of the new Mufford Crescent. The second property is 7579 Glover Road. It is 68.76 acres. The 2013 property tax assessment on this property was farm status at $161,011. The 2014 assessment now shows residential at $2,354,000 and the property taxes are now $10,722.81. This property abuts the 50 acre parcel the Township took into consideration on a debt that Trinity Western University owed and were late on paying. This property sold on
“
BEWARE… “UNFAIR TAX GRAB”
June 27th, 2013 for $4,055,000. I believe Councilor Davis, a dairy farmer, leases or rents this land. The question in my mind is… Why pay so much for the properties in the first place and why allow yourself to pay the higher taxes UNLESS you know something I don’t about these properties. Seems strange to me! A third property that comes to mind is located at 24453 60th Ave. Langley and until recently it was in the ALR. The majority of Council voted to take a portion of this ALR land out of the ALR and allow a 65 lot subdivision. Spot growth at its best! In 2006 this land was purchased for $4,200,000. It was assessed at that time under $700,000. The question remains…Would you pay $4,200,000 for a piece of ALR land that was assessed under $700, 000 without knowing what the future held on the property. If you like keeping land within the ALR you better get informed and GET OUT AND VOTE! cc: Metro Vancouver
I take note of an article published in the Province Newspaper on Wednesday, October 15th, 2014. It came from Kirk LaPointe, candidate for Mayor of Vancouver. He said the City will give back to the Neighbourhoods the right to determine how they develop and densify as opposed to what he said was the “ad hoc and spot rezonings” being allowed. He promises to reform the Community Amenity Contribution Program and other Develop-Fee Programs that are used to create extra density which he said has created a culture of coercion, a system of soft extortion and a secretive system that has corroded confidence in our city.

Taxpayers With Unfinished Basements In The Township Of Langley It appears that the Township has partnered up with the Assessment Authority. At first I thought the provincial government may have initiated this. I received my tax assessment and noticed that there was quite an increase, in fact it was up by $33,000.00. I went on line and noticed that they had me down for a finished basement. This does not show on your tax assessment. Funny thing is I do not have a finished basement, so I did my due diligence and delved into my neighbourhood assessments and what I found became interesting. They tarred everyone with the same brush. i.e. now everyone has an assessed basement as being finished. So, since I’m not one to be shy, I visited the Assessment Authority and showed them what I had come up with and they knew about the changes to the basement calculations and said that they would rectify that portion of mine immediatley. This reduced my house value by $17,000.000 which in turn should reduce my net payout on my taxes by approximately $100.00. This reminded me of a law suit regarding negative option billing. So I went on line (if you go to the Government of Canada’s website and enter into the justice laws website and click onto negative option billing regulations and go
to section 8(1) notice of changes) this is my version of what that section means. An institution – meaning in my opinion i.e. the Township of Langley, that has or can make changes to the terms and conditions i.e. changing any home with a basement whether it was finished or not to a finished basement which could increase the assessed value anywhere approximately $10,000.00 to $30,000.00. Which in turn could increase your taxes as a result approximately $100.00 to $250.00. In my opinion the Township, not less than 30 days before the day on which the changes take effect should have disclosed in writing to any homeowner, i.e. tax payer, the above changes which should have been required in the original assessment notification. Bottom line on all this… “UNFAIR TAX GRAB.” Artificially higher tax assessment showing Langley as the place to be. Homeowners thinking they have won the lottery when in fact, when and if they do try to sell, they really have not. This is just not a fair way of doing business in my opinion. This is what your MAYOR and COUNCIL did to you! So the only way to retaliate is to GET OUT AND VOTE!
UNCOMMITTED VOTERS… Maybe I can Help! My name is Dennis Townsend and I have lived in the Township of Langley for 24 years. I never miss a Council meeting and trust me we need CHANGE! Both Mayor Froese and the majority of Council just are NOT listening to us taxpayers. Having published many letters to the editor and having paid for ads in the Province newspaper with my concerns I was instrumental in the purchase of the Township Hall… Right place, right time, right price! Having been on the Committee for a Real Interchange where I hired a professional road builder to see if we could come up with a free flow interchange at Highway 1 and 200th. He claimed we could and if it had been implemented it would have cost less than half of what we ended up paying and it would have been much more efficient, but no one listened! I also looked into several land deals such as one made
with Trinity Western to pay of a debt they owe towards the use of the Langley Events Centre. Rarely has anyone said anything derogatory about my published articles. Changes are in order. For those who have a computer please go to www.unelectioncampaign.ca and / or www.facebook.com/Unelection-Campaign. Also, the langleywatchdog.com site to enlighten yourself as to how taxpayer unfriendly this Mayor and Council have been. While at Council meetings I have taken note of those running for Council and those who have spoken out on various issues. I’ve read their literature and reviewed their blogs etc. and these are the CANDIDATES who I feel will listen to and support our best interests as the taxpayers in the Township of Langley:

Train detour will continue to end of month EMPTY COAL TRAINS TO RUN THROUGH LANGLEY UNTIL NOV. 30 FRAN K B U CH O LT Z Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Empty BNSF Railway coal trains will continue to run through rural Langley until the end of November. Since July 7, Southern Railway of British Columbia (SRY) has been rerouting empty BNSF unit trains from the Westshore unloading terminal at Roberts Bank to the Sumas border crossing in Abbotsford. SRY train crews pick up the empty trains as soon as they are unloaded, transport them over BC Rail’s Port Subdivision through Delta and Surrey, then over CPR’s Page Subdivision through Langley and then over the SRY Fraser Valley Subdivision through Langley Township and Abbotsford. To date, there have been very few operational issues with the rerouting, says SRY spokesman Singh Biln. The rerouting allowed BNSF to perform track and bridge work on their regular train corridor through the Blaine border crossing and alongside Semiahmoo and Mud Bays in Surrey and White Rock. The railway is replacing a long wooden trestle over the Serpentine River, where it flows into Mud Bay. The rerouting was to end on Oct. 15, but BNSF requested an extension until Nov. 30. Consequently, SRY will continue to reroute empty trains through Langley and Abbotsford to the Sumas border crossing until at least the end of November. “Railroads are a vital part of the North American transportation network and long single-commodity unit train operations are now standard on most railways. The Railway Association of Canada reports that one such train can remove up to 280 trucks from our congested highways,” Biln states. “Unit train traffic continues to increase on all railroads, particularly on lightly loaded rail corridors; SRY must also keep pace with industry trends in order to remain competitive. Consequently, SRY will continue to seek new business and increase the use of our lightly loaded track segments.” The track through Langley utilized by the coal trains leaves the heavily-used rail corridor just east of 232 Street and crosses 72 Avenue, 240 Street, 248 Street, 256 Street, 258 Street, 64 Avenue and 272 Street before entering Abbotsford, where it travels through Bradner and Mount Lehman before descending a steep grade to the Matsqui flats. Other than SRY’s own local trains, only eastbound coal trains are using the corridor. About three trains per day have been travelling on the line since July 7.

A cabinet revolt underway in Manitoba has seen five senior members of Premier Greg Selinger’s cabinet, including the finance and justice ministers, resign. The revolt is centred around the premier’s decision to impose a one per cent boost in the provincial sales tax, after specifically promising not to do so in the last provincial election. While the five cabinet ministers all went along with the plan at first, they now say the premier is not listening to their advice, as the NDP government remains far behind the opposition Progressive Conservatives in the polls. In addition to breaking its promise not to raise the PST, the Manitoba government violated the Balanced Budget, Fiscal Management and Taxpayer Accountability Act, by refusing to hold a referendum on the increase. This has stung residents to a fury. Governments simply do not learn lessons that should be obvious from the mistakes of others. Selinger should have looked to what happened in B.C. when Premier Gordon Campbell imposed the HST on British Columbians, less than two months after an election when the government said bringing in the HST was “not on the radar.” He and his government did not listen to opposition from citizens and some business groups (others supported the HST) for months. It took the successful passage of an initiative, which despite a very cumbersome law was certified and put to a vote, to finish off the HST. Even before the people voted against the HST, Campbell’s goose was cooked. He had the good sense to resign and let others pick up the wreckage, but the damage done to his party and his reputation as a shrewd leader was enormous. Manitoba does not have a similar public process such as initiative or recall, which allow the public to react to such cavalier attitudes and actions.

Voter turnout is dropping in all elections but it’s most dismal at the municipal level, where, ironically people have the most say in what goes on. In 2011’s general civic elections, for example, Port Moody had the highest turnout in the Tri-Cities at a paltry 26 per cent — and the numbers dropped from there, with Coquitlam at 21.7 per cent and Port Coquitlam at 18.6 per cent. The reasons 70 to 80 per cent don’t vote are many and growing with each election, from lack of engagement and cynicism to the difficulty and work involved in obtaining information. According to a recent study by the Columbia Institute, non-voters are not lazy or ignorant. In fact, they may simply weigh the work involved in voting against their own self interest. If they don’t know who is running or don’t see an issue important to them, they may just stay home. And so this year’s election may be another bust — unless we can appeal to a voter’s sense of duty. That’s why this year, The Tri-City News is reminding people about the importance of voting and what they can do to inform themselves through our #IVoteBecause and #IVotedTC campaigns. Also, using social media and our print publication, including the three city-specific VoteSmart voters’ guides coming out in Friday’s paper, we are trying to make information as accessible as possible to encourage voters to participate. If things are easy, we hope, the cost/benefit analysis could tip in the voters’ favour. Admittedly, the process can be daunting because there are so many candidates to choose from. But there are ways to get information that don’t require a PhD in political science. Watch the candidate videos at tricitynews.com under the Election Tab; look for cues such as union endorsements and candidate alignment; read the candidates’ write-ups in the VoteSmart voters’ guides. Then make a selection. It’s akin to a job interview and you, the voter are hiring someone who will make decisions in about taxes, livability and quality of education. - The Tri-City News

Froese has supported farming City needs a more progressive sustainability, food production approach to mental illness Editor: I am writing after seeing, for the second time, Langley City Acting Mayor Ted Schaffer quoted in The Times (Oct. 16 and 28) as lamenting that people are protected by the constitution of Canada, and this eliminates the option of people being “locked away or moved out of the city.” The people he is referring to are those living with mental illness and the vague “other issues.” Acting Mayor Schaffer should take the time to understand the complexities of mental illness or addiction and perhaps take a page from former mayor Peter Fassbender, and become involved in parts of the solution with community partners. His archaic views on hu-
mans who have complicated challenges in their lives will lead Langley down the path that Abbotsford is on right now — and there is very little positive community publicity to be found there. In order for Langley City to be a progressive and inclusive community, our leadership should have someone at the helm that embraces the constitution of Canada for all it provides people of all demographics, not someone who seems to consider personal freedoms to be an inconvenience to an “out of sight, out of mind” solution to a societal problem. Langley City deserves better representation than that. LINDA MILLAR, LANGLEY
Editor: As an agrologist, I believe Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese and council should be recognized for their support of local food production and sustainable farming practices, a topic which is receiving a great deal of attention by the public in view of recent developments such as drought in California and the concern about questionable food ingredients and products imported from other countries. Under the leadership of Mayor Froese, two important agricultural initiatives have been launched in the Township of Langley. In 2013, the Township endorsed a comprehensive Agricultural Viability Strategy, which outlines a long-term vision of agriculture in the Township. This comprehensive document outlines over 60 policies and action items targeted at supporting the long-term sustainability of farming. Room in this letter is inadequate to describe all of the specific policies and action items outlined in the strategy, although these policy initiatives and action items could be grouped into four major categories, including: • Providing a welcoming business
environment for farming; • Providing the required services and infrastructure; • Providing a secure agricultural land base; and • Supporting farmer use of best farm management practices. The entire Agricultural Viability Strategy document is available from the Township offices. Another positive action by council centres on the on-going support for and cooperation with the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (LSAF). The mission of this community-driven, non-profit organization “is to enhance agricultural viability in the Township of Langley through farmland preservation, land stewardship, and promoting awareness and education about sustainable farming. Over the last two years, the LSAF has worked with the mayor and council on several projects serving the needs of agriculture. These projects include ; • Distribution of an educational/ awareness brochure to over 4,000 residents who live over the Hopington aquifer, informing them of the importance of water conservation and the vulnerability of this aquifer; • A small lot agriculture work-
shop was held in November 2013, providing agricultural information on a variety of topics to over 400 owners of small parcels of land in the ALR; • An environmental farm plan workshop was held in September, providing farmers and landowners with advice on how to farm in an environmentally sensitive manner; • A workshop is scheduled for Nov. 8 (Saturday), on agricultural perspectives and concepts moving forward into the future. The keynote speaker is Joel Salatin, a renowned author, lecturer and farmer who has incorporated holistic farming practices into his own farming operation. Over the last three years, Mayor Froese has been open to the needs of farming and has demonstrated strong support for the agricultural community not only through his words, but through his actions. Based upon this excellent track record, my vote is solidly behind Froese for mayor. I believe he is sincerely committed to the long term sustainability of farming and food production in the Township of Langley. DAVE MELNYCHUK, LANGLEY
Froese ignored people in Brookswood OCP vote Editor: I can’t help but notice the tens of thousands of dollars of what must be developer-funded signs for the trio of Jack Froese, Angie Quaale and Blair Whitmarsh. There are almost uncountable large wooden signs which are quite expensive, along with the hundreds of small signs everywhere. Apparently there is also an expensive “targeted marketing” campaign on the way. It bereaves me to no end that a faction
of politicians would go to such lengths to buy their way into our council. There can be only one reason to accept this kind of developer support, and it can only result in the end of Langley as we know and love it. If you want to know the truth about their marketing campaign, all you have to do is watch the videos from the meeting at Langley Events Centre (available on The Times’ website), where the three of them voted the same on everything.
Froese, in spite of the incredible public outcry over the Brookswood/Fernridge OCP, totally ignored the people and voted in favour of it. As did Councillor Grant Ward. I dearly hope and pray that the Township voters see through this effort and vote for the candidates that will actually listen to the people, and not just use the election as a hypocritical marketing campaign. We need to save our fabulous community.
I hope voters look seriously at the independent candidates of David Davis, Kim Richter, Jackie Mandzak, Solon Bucholtz, Kerri Ross, Clint Lee, Petrina Arnason and Dave Stark or Scott Nichols. All of these candidates are campaigning on the same promise of involving and listening to the people. This is something foreign to most of the existing councillors. DON TOCHER, BROOKSWOOD

It appears that the ministers who have resigned (none have left the party yet) simply want to try and get Selinger to quit, and he is refusing to do so. It’s a standoff, but it is likely the premier will have to go eventually. A similar thing happened in Alberta when details of Premier Alison Redford’s penchant for private jet travel and luxurious hotel suites became public knowledge. Members of her cabinet and caucus revolted, with some leaving the party. She was in the midst of a revolt, and it

didn’t take her long to see the writing on the wall and resign. Governments at all levels — municipal, provincial and federal— need to learn the obvious. It is not a wise move to lie to the public during an election campaign. In this day of cellphone video and social media, anything that you say will be dredged out as a reminder, should you stray from promises given. Here in Langley, this should serve as an important lesson to both voters and politicians seeking seats on the two councils and the board of education. Politicians — tell the truth, and
if you have a hidden agenda, don’t promise to do the opposite. Stand up for what you believe in — don’t waffle or obfuscate. As for voters, they need to carefully scrutinize what politicians are saying, and their past deeds, if they are seeking re-election. If they take a 180-degree turn after the election, hold them to account. Given that we are now electing these people for four-year terms, the more intense pressure put on them before the election, and the more watchfulness afterwards, the better.
Residents boiling mad over East Langley water project delays Editor: The East Langley water project has been going on way too long with minimal improvements from when it was first introduced. East Langley residents are frustrated with the ongoing construction and delays with the projects. Those of us in the area deserve to be frequently updated. How much longer will we have to wait? We the taxpayers, want to see an accounting as to why it’s taking so long. The project was supposed to be
completed by the end of 2014, and now it might not be done until the fall of 2015. One of the biggest projects by the Township of Langley at $33.5 million could be one of the worst ever. Therefore, the only ones to blame are the Township, contractors, and engineers and developers for their poor planning. SIMON LE, LANGLEY

Hot gases spewing from legislature The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry. Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed — deniers, believers and so on. Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world. Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this heresy. And NDP MLAs lined up be-
hind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal. I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out. Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from questionable protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C. Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It

Restricting LNG-relat-
ed emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture. Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund. If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piledon taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

Straight wry and a glass of wine
PAUL ST. PIERRE INTERVIEW WAS ONE TO REMEMBER
Love him or loathe him, time spent with Canadian writer and politician Paul St. Pierre was always memorable. My only interview with the Canadian journalist, screenwriter and novelist was more than a decade ago, when the last novel he ever wrote came out. It was Called Old Enough To Know Better — his musings on the world. We agreed to do the interview at his Fort Langley hacienda. He greeted me at his door with his white mutton chops, an open shirt and a smile. I can’t remember clearly if he already had a glass of wine in his hand, but it definitely came later. It was maybe 1 p.m. His home was a collection of Mexican decor and artifacts. His rancher had a massive open fireplace — a blazing fire was going when I arrived. He said he wanted to talk out by his pool. It was mid-fall and a bit cool out but it wasn’t my place to argue. We sat on old, rickety lawn chairs beside a pool that was littered with swirling leaves fallen from his backyard trees. He insisted I have a glass of his homemade white wine. I don’t normally drink on

Day of the Dead celebration of life for Paul St. Pierre FRAN K B U CH O LT Z Ti m e s Re po r t e r
Given his love of Mexico and his penchant for doing the unconventional, a “Day of the Dead” celebration to mark Paul St. Pierre’s life was entirely appropriate. The longtime Fort Langley resident died at age 90 in July, but his passing was marked with a festive party at Fort Langley Community Hall, a mariachi band and procession to his grave marker in Fort Langley Cemetery on Sunday. On his tombstone, it said “This was not my idea.” Mr. St. Pierre was born in Chicago, grew up in Nova Scotia and, after serving in the Second World War, became a Vancouver Sun reporter, columnist and editor. He also served four years as a Liberal MP under Pierre Trudeau, from 1968 to 1972. He later wrote a syndicated column that appeared in The Times and other community newspapers for many years. He was well-known for his series of books, mainly about the Cariboo and Chilcotin and the fabulous characters residing there. His best-known book was “Breaking Smith’s Quarter Horse.” In the 1960s, he wrote the popular CBC television series Cariboo Country. It marked the

Q: How common is oral cancer and how can it be detected? A: It is estimated that over 4,000 Canadians will be diagnosed
with oral cancer this year. While heavy smokers and drinkers are at the highest risk, about 25% of cases occur in people with no history of tobacco or alcohol use.
Unfortunately, oral cancer is often discovered in its later stages, when the five-year survival rate is only about 50%. Found early, the five-year survival rate is over 80%.
Dr. Cheung, DMD Dentist
Your dentist has the expertise and training to detect the initial signs of oral cancer – he/she will use both sight and touch to carefully inspect your head, neck and oral soft tissues. Adjunctive screening tools, such as the VELscope used in our office, can further increase the chances of catching disease early. VELscope is a powerful fluorescence technology that reveals abnormalities that cannot be seen by the naked eye.

The Royal Canadian Legion is asking all Canadians to pause on Remembrance Day. On Tuesday, November 11 at 11am, radio and TV signals will stop. Shops and schools, factories and farms will be still as silence sweeps across Canada like a wave. This is a time to think about war, about peace, and about those men and women who risked their lives to protect our freedom and make the world a safer place. They fought for us, for our country, and for our future. Several Remembrance Day services have been organized throughout the community and Township of Langley Council encourages residents to attend, remember, and give thanks.

11am – Although no formal service will be held, residents often gather at the cenotaph to pay their respects on Remembrance Day. The Murrayville and Fort Langley Cemeteries have twin cenotaphs that were erected in 1921. More than 500 veterans are buried in the two cemeteries.
Following the service, visit the Museum at 9135 King Street in Fort Langley between 11:30am and 4:45pm for the final day of the exhibit Mementos & Memories: Langley & the Second World War.
Remembrance Day: Lest We Forget We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifices of those hundreds of thousands of Canadians will be meaningless. They died for us, for our homes, for our families, and our friends. They gave of themselves for a collection of traditions Canadians cherish, and a future we all believed in. They died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice and their valour rests with our collective national consciousness.

Remembering Our Veterans
For All Your Medical Needs
Respecting and Honouring Our Canadian Heroes “If ye break faith with us who die…” On Remembrance Day we recognize Canadian soldiers who served, and those who continue to serve. We also pay our respects to those thousands of Canadian men and women who paid the ultimate price in service to our country. This year our awareness is raised higher as we commemorate important milestones in our nation’s military history: the centennial of the First World War, the 70th anniversary of D-Day, and the 75th anniversary of the Second World War. With the First World War, we remember the contribution of over half a million Canadians who fought for and defended the ideals of democracy and freedom. Risking their lives overseas, their relentless determination and sacrifice to the cause was to such an extent that it forever changed Canada’s place in the world and helped to forge our identity as a nation. During the Second World War the contribution of Canadians was invaluable to the Allied cause. Canadian servicemen and women played an essential role in extinguishing the evil of Nazism and liberating thousands of people across Europe and the Pacific. The fact that the Second World War was also the first war that Canada declared of its own accord is also of great importance. To mark the 75th anniversary of this occasion, our Government will be honouring all living Veterans of the Second World War this year with a special commemorative tribute.
This Remembrance Day we also recognize our Veterans who have served and fought in our other conflicts since then, including Korea, Afghanistan and other various peacekeeping and humanitarian missions. Their contribution to our country as well as their sacrifice and desire to make the world a better place is no less significant or noble than those brave Canadian soldiers who fought before. Earlier this year we witnessed the final withdrawal of the last Canadian troops from Afghanistan. For almost thirteen years, 40,000 members of the Canadian Armed Forces diligently fought to defeat terrorism and ensure freedom, security and development for the Afghan people. Canadians respected this achievement and sacrifice with the National Day of Honour on May 9, 2014. As we reflect on the recent, tragic deaths of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent and Corporal Nathan Cirillo, we are reminded once more that our men and women in uniform routinely put their lives on the line in order to protect us. The heroism of these two brave Canadian solders follows in the great legacy forged by the members of the Canadian Armed Forces who came before them. Our hearts go out to their loved ones and friends at this difficult time. This November 11, let us take time to honour the fallen, commemorate the brave and thank our past and present members of the Canadian Armed Forces for their service.
Lest we forget. By Mark Warawa, Member of Parliament for Langley.
Let us never forget all those who sacrificed their lives so we may live in peace and harmony.

Wear A Poppy The International Symbol of Remembrance As Remembrance Day approaches, British Columbians and people all around the globe wear a red felt poppy as a symbol of remembrance for those who gave their lives in the defence of freedom and to show respect to our veterans. This year, Remembrance Day is especially poignant, as 2014 marks the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War and the 75th anniversary of the start of the Second World War. As time passes and fewer veterans are with us, it becomes increasingly important to show that we remember their sacrifice. It’s also a time to show respect for those who continue to fight in wars around the world. Canadians have a long-standing tradition of donning a red poppy during the remembrance period from the last Friday in October until the end of the day on Nov. 11. The poppy is the international symbol of remembrance, and when you wear a poppy, you honour the war dead and help veterans and their families. Following the shooting in Ottawa of a Canadian military reservist and the fatal hit-and-run of a veteran in Quebec, some Canadians have been requesting to wear a poppy before the campaign launches on Oct. 31. Legions welcome them to show their support early, with many branches having poppies available at their location for those who stop by. However, donations cannot be accepted until the campaign officially begins on Oct. 31. Since 1921, the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign has helped provide direct assistance for ex-service people in financial distress, as well
as funding for medical appliances and research, home services, care facilities and numerous other purposes.
Quote:
Angus Stanfield, president of the Legion in B.C. and Yukon “When people wear the Poppy in November, it is a universal symbol of respect. What people often don’t realize is that while we are indeed recognizing veterans from long ago battles who fought and

Wear A Poppy on November 11 The history of the poppy as an emblem of fallen soldiers:
gave their lives, there are others who need to see us wear it - modern-day veterans. They are here and so are their families, and they are deserving of our respect. We wear the poppy for them with even more determination, because they continue to make sacrifices day in and day out.”
• During the Napoleonic Wars, the poppy drew attention as the flower that bloomed over the graves of fallen soldiers. • In the 20th century, the poppy again was widely noticed after soils in France and Belgium became rich in lime from rubble during the First World War. • In 1915, John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Forces Artillery, wrote about this phenomenon in his famous poem, In Flanders Fields.
Poppy Etiquette The poppy should always be fastened on clothing on the wearer’s left-hand side, close the heart. This is also true when the weather is poor and outer garments are necessary. Poppies should not be fastened on hats or other objects.

Classic style comes through in black and white The classic look of black and white will never go out of style, which is why the 107 brand new townhomes in Burquitlam are the perfect blend of location, opportunity and price. With three storeys, two colors and endless possibility, the Black+Whites on Foster are located on a quiet residential street near several parks and schools, while remaining conveniently close to Highway 1 and Lougheed Town Centre. Director of Sales, Barrett Sprowson ensures that with the growing and changing neighborhood, including new shopping, new transit (Evergreen Line) and new amenities, this is the kind
of living environment that will only continue to get better. With a focus on detail, Black+Whites combines an architectural design that is sophisticated, timeless, elegant and tailored. The exterior is highlighted by formal manicured hedges, rich detailed brick and hardi-board cladding combined in strong color contrasts; creating visual appeal from the very first glance. “This community is going to have a very striking streetscape impression for decades to come,” says Sprowson. Intracorp’s philosophy is to go “beyond what is ordinary,” by creating each home with special features to make life more

comfortable and more beautiful without compromising lasting quality. “In every master ensuite, we include a motion-censored under-cabinet light, allowing you to comfortably use the bathroom at night without needing to find a switch or experience bright lighting,” says Sprowson, on one of the many details synonymous with the Intracorp name. “Other features I love are the large oversized windows, allowing lots of natural light in, large family sized kitchen with islands, stone countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms, quality stainless steel appliances and real wood cabinetry,” says Sprowson. The three-bedroom Black+Whites townhomes built by Intracorp, start from the low $500,000s, while the four-bedroom homes start from $590,000. Right now, they are offering a special “Neighborhood Program” that allows for early purchasing opportunities before the public launch. The Sales Centre (when open) will be located at 548 Foster Avenue in Coquitlam. To register for more information, visit www.blackandwhites.ca

The Bra Lady Is Coming to Town
Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Barbara Chapman is coming to LANGLEY, TUES. NOVEMBER 25Th to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

Dancers perform to fundraise for World Championship competition in Poland A pair of young Langley dancers have been tapped to represent Canada during international competition in Europe this winter. But before Paige McLachlan and Sophi Spatzner can take their place on stage, alongside 38 of their Canada West teammates, and perform routines in jazz ballet and modern dance, they must all first raise enough money to get themselves across the pond. The International Dance Organization World Champi-
onships will be held in Poland in December, but because participants do not qualify for government funding or national sponsorship, each dancer must raise $3,600 plus costume fees. The IDO World Championships have been described as the Olympics of dance. Last year, Canada won overall the best international team, earning the largest number of gold medals of the 24 participating countries for the second year in a row, according
If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Langley’s Courtney Shmyr leads Keri Morrison and Jamie MacDonald during a meet in Calgary. The 22-yearold earned a spot on Speed Skating Canada’s World Cup team. The squad is competing this weekend in Salt Lake City and the following weekend in Montreal. Shmyr, who moved to Calgary four years ago to train fulltime at the Calgary Oval, is hoping to make the 2018 Olympics. A ND R E W W. Y OUNG Fo r the Langley Time s
Shmyr set to skate for Canada GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
Four years of sacrifice and hard work are set to pay off this weekend as Courtney Shmyr prepares to skate with Speed Skating Canada at a World Cup event. The 22-year-old is no stranger to representing her country — in the past five years, she has spent two seasons with the junior national team and another pair of seasons with the national development team — but this will be her first go with the senior national team. Shmyr and her teammates are in Salt Lake City, Utah for an ISU short track World Cup event, which runs Nov. 7 to 9. “I am nervous but excited as well,” she admitted. “It is going to be a great event and I will learn lots.” There is another World Cup event the following weekend in Montreal. Shmyr was named to the Speed Skating Canada squad based on her fifthplace finish at a World Cup trials event held in September. “It was my goal to make the World Cup this year,” she said. “I was so nervous for (the trials) but I just stayed relaxed and told myself to have fun with it. “I wanted to skate really well to show

ating from Walnut Grove Secondary in 2010. She trains twice a day — both on and off the ice — as well as video sessions, while taking classes at the University of Calgary. Shmyr is hoping to get into the education program. That has meant missing plenty of things that others may take for granted in their lives. “There are a lot of challenges. I miss birthdays, I miss weddings,” she said. “My nephew was born in March and luckily, the trials were at home so I got to see him when he was one week old. But I will be missing most of his childhood because I am out here.” “I just have to do what I have to do to get to where I want to be,” she added. “I have been doing this my whole life so I know how to balance a social life, I know how to balance training every day, working, going to school, it is like second nature to me.” Shmyr said the key is to continue putting the work in. “I just have to train hard (and) make sure I do well at the World Cup fall selection every year so that I can gain experience against all the international competitors,” she said.

Gold for Harrison, Gators GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
Ever the team player, Joel Harrison was focused on getting the Walnut Grove Gators the team title. And he accomplished that goal, while also managing to snag himself the individual gold medal. “Going into the race, I was just focused on finishing as high as I could so I could help my team win the banner,” Harrison said. “I felt I had a good race. I was dying near the end, but luckily there was enough space between me and second place. I was just extremely tired.” Harrison was competing in the junior boys’ division of the B.C. high school cross-country provincial championships on Saturday in Victoria. The 15-year-old Grade 10 student crossed the 5.3-km finish line in 17:45, 13 seconds ahead of Oak Bay’s Jack Stanley. And more importantly, the Gators won the junior boys team title, combining to score 29 points. Oak Bay was second with 42 points while St. George’s School was third at 62. “It was such a good feeling knowing I had done everything I could to help my team win the banner,” Harrison said. “And it is an even better feeling than winning the race because it is with the guys I have spent so much time training with and at school with. Winning it together, it

The Gators won the team title. felt so much better.” Harrison, who won the Fraser Valley title last month, was second at the 2013 provincial championships. The Gators placed three runners in the top 10 and four in the top 30. Ford McMahon (18:35) was seventh, Paul Buckingham (18:56) was 14th and Jake Robertson (19:20) was 28th. Teams score points based on where their top
four runners place with the lowest overall score winning. Two other Gators — Will and Liam Riley — managed to block other runners from scoring higher. Heading into the race, Walnut Grove coach Don Sparks knew his team had a shot at the podium. But the coach feels his squad may have been overlooked. After giving his run-
ners some last-minute advice, Sparks picked a spot along the course to watch the race. He said he overheard an Oak Bay coach chatting with another coach. “They were talking that they had the race in the bag,” Sparks said. “Clearly they did not look at the Fraser Valley results because our boys scored 19 points, which is unheard of. And they obviously hadn’t heard of Joel, who was second last year.” Sparks said his style is not to talk prior to a race about expectations or predictions, but he knew a podium finish was a possibility. “I prefer to let the shoes do the talking,” he said. ••• The Walnut Grove junior girls team also found the podium, placing third. Samantha Matthewan, Kennedy Douglas, Melanie Capstick and Lauren Solmes combined to finish with 102 points. The top local finisher in the race was Langley Christian’s Brooke Mussche who was seventh in the 4.3-km race at 16:59. The top local finisher in the senior boys race was Langley Christian’s Nickolas Colyn, who came 14th in the 6.4km race with a time of 21:44. And the top Langley runner in the senior girls race was Walnut Grove’s Isabella Boccia, who came 17th in the 4.3-km race with a time of 16:27.

Fraser Downs horse racing Breeders Classic The stakes are high, the horses are ready and the riders are preparing as B.C.’s most prestigious harness racing event approaches. On November 11, Cloverdale will host the Breeders Classic Day at Fraser Downs Racetrack – B.C.’s live harness racing action at its best. The finest B.C.-bred horses and top drivers will take to the track and race to compete for over $300,000 in purses. After four grueling legs already behind them, the most able horses are being geared up for the big day – and what is surely to be a payday for many of the drivers. The day is packed with an abundance
of great dining options, and an enclosed, heated grandstand to keep enthusiasts comfortable yet close to the action when the races begin at 12:45 p.m. Drivers will be present for photos and to sign autographs one hour before start time. Families are invited to attend, but are asked to remember that only those 19 or older are permitted to place bets, and to always play for fun, not to make money. The day caters to both seasoned horseplayers and racing beginners. Fraser Downs provides on-hand Wagering Ambassadors who can offer expertise on how to read the program and tote board, how
to understand what the odds mean, how to place bets, as well as answer any other pertinent questions. Then, it’s a matter of choosing from the self-serve or personal wagering windows, and getting ready for the heart-pounding experience of a live sporting event. From the thrill of the race, the highstake wagers, the pounding of hooves on the track, and the quick pace of a drive race down to the wire, all combined with the enjoyment of meeting a favored horse or rider, the Breeders Classic at Fraser Downs is an event not to miss, and one that will create many moments never to be forgotten.

Rams, Hilltops set to renew hostilities letic Park. The game on Saturday (McLeod Athletic Park, 1 p.m.) pits the Hilltops against the Langley Rams in a rematch of the 2012 title game, a dramatic 23-21 Saskatoon victory. The Hilltops have won 16 national champion-

ships — 2012 capped off a three-peat — while the Rams are still in search of their first. This is the Rams’ third title-game appearance. The Rams went 7-3 during the regular season before upsetting the Okanagan Sun 23-19 in the BCFC championship game. The Hilltops were tops in the Prairie Football Conference at 6-2 and defeated the Calgary Colts 27-7 in the championship game. Saskatoon had begun the season at 1-2. “We were tripping over ourselves, but we were able to right the ship,” said Sargeant. “For us, since week four, each game has been a playoff game. “It wasn’t easy but we got to our final destination.” Sargeant knows his team will be in tough against a squad that went 6-0 at McLeod Athletic Park. “We have great respect for Coach (Jeff) Alamolhoda and his staff and the work they do,” he said. “The close games, that’s where it shows that coaching makes a difference and they
certainly proved that (against Okanagan).” In the 2012 championship final, Langley was ahead 21-6 early in the third quarter, but Saskatoon capitalized on a fumble to get back in the game and score the final 17 points in the dramatic come-frombehind victory. Just like in the BCFC title game, Alamolhoda said the team needs to have a one-play mentality. “We are going to have to win each and every play and if we don’t, we are going to have to look at the next play,” he said. “If something happens one play, we have to respond immediately on the next play. “We can’t let things start trickling downhill because that is a slippery slope and sooner than later, it gets away from you and you have lost the game immediately.” While the bulk of the players are different from two years ago, the coaching staffs remain the same. “Every team is different and we will see a wrinkle here and there,” Alamolhoda said. “(But) it gives you an
idea to prepare for.” Langley’s Luke Andrews, the Rams’ special teams captain, was a part of the 2012 championship game. The Canadian Bowl will be his final junior football
game. He said it will be of some benefit playing a familiar opponent. “Before we didn’t really know what they did or how they played,” he said.

Knights drop third straight The Langley Knights cut a three-goal deficit down to one, but that was as close as they would get as they lost their third straight game. The Knights fell 5-3 to the visiting Richmond Sockeyes on Monday (Nov. 3) at the George Preston Recreation Centre. The two junior B hockey clubs will complete the homeand-home series on Nov. 6 at Minoru Arena. Joshua Smith had a pair while Donovan Shambeau had the
other Knights goal in the most recent setback which dropped Langley to 9-6-1-0. The team’s 19 points still give them a sixpoint lead atop the PJHL’s Harold Brittain Conference. Richmond was led by Daniel Oakley (two goals) with Mac Colasimone, Matthew Bissett and Troy Kaczynski potting one apiece. Cole Forbes took the loss, allowing five goals on 40 shots. This was the Knights second straight homeice defeat as they dropped a 7-3 deci-
sion to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack last week (Oct. 30) at the Preston Centre. The Wolf Pack are the top team in the PJHL with 32 points and just one regulation loss in 18 games. In that game, the score was tied at three — Nicolas Bizzutto, Jackson Surbey and Colin Catchpole had the Langley goals — before North Vancouver scored the final four goals. ••• The Langley junior bantam Outlaws season came to a close
on Sunday with a 30-0 loss to the South Delta Rams. The Outlaws were able to move the ball, but could not cap off any drives with points. Chris Kongbo — with Ethan Croome, Dalen Cousineau, Zach Rohan, Ethan Morgan and Michael Guistino opening holes for him — rushed for 175 yards. Stryker Roloff led the defence with 10 tackles, while Nick Murray had seven and Tysen Toombe had five. Roloff and Kalden Phuntsak each came up with a fumble recovery.

The Langley Olympians were in fine form with their season opening meet last weekend. The swim club was at the UBC Aquatic Centre for the 2014 Vancouver Pacific Swim Club Invitational Meet. Joshua Kim, 12, took the aggregate trophy for his age group, winning five events and coming second in another four. He also
broke six club records. Bailey Herbert, 11, took top spot for her age group, winning all nine of her events and setting a new meet record in the 100 IM. Altogether, the club won 14 gold, 10 silver and another 10 bronze.
And while the club’s younger swimmers were in Vancouver, some of the older ones were competing on Vancouver Island against the top senior swimmers in the province. Hillary Metcalfe won gold in the 200 IM and Chelsea Borrowdale took bronze in the 400 IM.

Bears hand Giants first defeat The Chilliwack Red Giants are unbeaten no more thanks to the North Langley Bears. The peewee football team closed the regular season with a 22-12 victory on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park. Marcus Stang scored on touchdown runs of 49, 30 and 13 yards and finished with 167 yards. Tyson Hoy was good on two convert attempts. The Bears defence forced five turnovers on downs and Jacob Evans and Callum Middleton both recovered fumbles. ••• The North Langley bantam Bears capped off a perfect regular season with a 45-23 win over the Coquitlam Chargers. Zander Bailey gouged the Chargers run defence with more than 200 yards rushing and two touchdowns in the football game on Saturday while Andy Hanlen added three touchdowns — a 49-yard pass from Jacob Stebbings, a 75-yard pass from Bailey on an option play and finally a 75-yard touchdown run on a reverse. Ryan Barthelson came up with an interception and a fumble, and Bailey also recovered a fumble. Connor Hurley, Jake Evans and Pablo Wigwigan led the tenacious North Langley defence. ••• The North Langley atom Bears delivered their most consistent game of the season, a 24-6 win over the Chilliwack Blue Giants in atom football action on Saturday. The team scored one touchdown in all four quarters, with Owen Sieben, Keaghan Hurley, Taylor Bear and Kayden Bell each finding the end zone. Alex Figgess, Joshua Hamelin and Marco Kee all delivered big blocks along the offensive line to spring the running backs for 175 total yards rushing. Manny Fotiou was in the Chilliwack backfield all day, coming up with four tackles resulting in 45 yards lost. The only points North Langley allowed came on a 60-yard kickoff return. ••• Brandon Brynjolfson scored on a 51-yard interception return for the game’s only points as the North Langley Bears beat the Chilliwack Giants 7-0. The two junior bantam football teams were playing on Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park. The defence had an outstanding game with Nicholas Triemstra blocking a pass, Ben Pascoe delivering a quarterback sack and Alex Ronald snagging an interception. The offence did have some success moving the ball, with highlights including Jesse Nielsen extending his whole body to haul in a throw from Michael Huggins, while Ethan Bernardin, Evan Rees, Jude Wessel and Ayden Holloway moving the chains along the ground. Cadeyrn Barthelson was strong on kickoff returns.

about being your own boss is that the excellence of your business is only limited by how you are able to manage it,” Paterson said. They are also thankful for the support provided by the Langley Association for Community Living. “Our role is to provide the support that they need just to make their business as successful as it can be,” said Logan. She added that their organization does not make any of the busi-
ness decisions, but rather is there to facilitate to help the owners come to a decision. “We are just there for guidance and encouragement.” Both Paterson and Ross would love to expand their business to include more lunches, other tour bus operators, and perhaps even working to provide meals on movie sets since there is so much filming in the area.

GET GEARED UP! One of the major fundraisers that keeps volunteer safety personnel operating on local mountains occurs Nov. 15-16 in Abbotsford. The annual Canadian Ski Patrol's (CSP) Winter Extreme Ski Show and Swap sees about 10,000 pieces of ski and snowboard equipment valued at approximately $1 million on consignment at the Ag-Rec building, selling for significant savings over new, said Denis Dion, swap manager. "You can completely outfit yourself or your family members for under $100," he said. Everything from boots to boards will be on hand, and each piece is safety inspected. Any helmets for sale are brand new. "We have extreme selection and extreme pricing." Nearly 95 per cent of the equipment is still new – just last year's models. "We don't know exactly how much we'll be getting until the
Friday November,
7–9 pm - Public
vendors show up," he added. The swap has been running since the late 1970s, said Dion, who took on the event chair position in 1994. From its humble beginnings in a church basement, the swap grew and needed more space. They went from the basement to an auditorium, then Tradex and now the Ag-Rec building. Between the Abbotsford event, and a similar one in Vancouver, these fundraisers generate enough money – about $100,000 – to keep CSP volunteers on the slopes in locales such as Hemlock, Manning and Seymour, where they are often the first responders to anyone who has a mishap while skiing inbounds. Any off-the-trail emergencies are handled by search and rescue teams. CSP funds its own first aid and avalanche training, and members pay to be a part of

In the Chevrolet family the Tahoe is the short wheelbase version and the Suburban is the longer wheelbase model, with much more cargo space behind the third row of seats. Some might find the new design direction from GM to be a bit too slab-sided, with squarer edges and boxy shapes but I prefer the modern take on the classic design. The Tahoe sits very high off the ground so the power side step is a wonderful addition along with a power tailgate and backup camera. How did we ever live without these amenities before? The biggest change is the front lighting package GM has used on this Chevrolet. LED daytime running lights make a statement and the monster grille with the big Chevrolet bowtie looks rough and ready.

Yes, this is an expensive vehicle but keep in mind that towing is a big reason why people purchase such big trucks. With a towing capacity of 3856kg (8500 lbs.) in two-wheel drive trim and 3765 (8300 lbs.) with four wheel drive, the Tahoe is up to the task of towing most pleasure boats and family campers with ease.

ond to improve ride and handling. This along with the smooth engine and quiet ride makes the Tahoe feel like a big, luxury sedan. It is no wonder that people who have these big trucks love them. One thing to consider when choosing which truck to buy is the available engine. The GMC Denali and Cadillac Escalade trucks have a larger 6.2L V8, which is much quicker and more capable. This Tahoe is just part of the full-line of trucks from GM that dominate the market, and for good reason. These are well-designed, well-made and supremely comfortable vehicles for a large family.
continued from page 47
355hp 5.3L V8 engine found in the full-size pickup trucks. It uses direct injection technology and has the ability to switch off half of the cylinders to help save fuel. There is a small indicator light on the instrument cluster that tells the driver when the engine is running on just 4-cylinders. This helps the driver feather the throttle to keep the engine in this fuel saving mode as long as possible. When more power is needed, the engine automatically reverts to all eight cylinders for maximum power. These tricks help improve city fuel economy by seven percent and highway consumption by ten percent.

Which, unfortunately, is often. I’ve coached them on what to say: “You’re putting my safety at risk,” “You’re breaking the law,” and “Dad, put your phone away this minute!” I’m not alone when I say my biggest fear is that someone I love will be in a horrific, life-changing, potentially fatal car accident. And every time a driver picks up their phone while operating a car, that accident becomes increasingly likely.

ugly stigma associated with drunk driving. Yet the probability of being in a crash while you are distracted is horrifying. Texting, even just a word? You are 23 times more likely to crash. Talking on your cell phone – four-to-five times more likely. And reading that ‘urgent’ email that simply couldn’t wait makes you three times more likely to be in a potentially fatal accident, according to research by CAA.
Findings by ICBC show that distracted driving is the second leading contributing factor of vehicle fatalities in BC.

OBITUARIES
KYDD, ALLAN WILLIAM
AUGUST 9, 1927 - NOVEMBER 2, 2014 Born in Regina, Saskatchewan on August 9, 1927. Following a short illness, Allan died peacefully on November 2, 2014, after being visited by many members of his loving family. Allan has now gone to re-join his wife Marj, mother Hannah and father Earl. He will be greatly missed by his children Doug (Jacki), Kevin (Sue) and Shannon, grandchildren Robyn, Darcy, Aaron, Emily, Andrea, Curtis, Jay, and great granddaughter Juliette. He is also survived by his sister Earla (Larry) Kent of Virden, MB, and by his loving partner Mary McQueen of Winnipeg. Allan grew up on a farm near Virden, MB, and it was there he met his future wife Marj. They started married life farming the family homestead and lived that life for 12 years. Allan was captivated by everything that involved airplanes; he began his aviation career as a flight instructor at 33 years of age, then became a bush pilot in Prince Rupert, flying over the north coast. He moved on to a lengthy career fighting forest fires as a fire bomber pilot for Conair Aviation. His many other interests included mechanics, carpentry and traveling. Allan enjoyed floor curling, playing cards, calling the bingo, and volunteering at the Agassiz Friendship House. Allan and Marj, his wife of 61 years, travelled through Canada and the US, pulling a trailer, while enjoying the scenery and the folks they met along the way. They spent many years as “snowbirds” in California. Some of Allan’s recent travels include New Zealand, Alaska , the Yukon, and parts of Central Canada. A truly kind and thoughtful man, Allan was liked by all; he made and kept friends everywhere he went.
Bottoni, Fernando 1942 - 2014 Fernando Bottoni, born in Rome, Italy in 1942, died November 1st, 2014 at home with his wife and friends by his side. Fernando, 72 years old, is survived by his wife, Gianna, his daughter and her husband, Marzia and Aaron, his son and wife, Max and Doris, and two grandchildren, Sophia and Timothy. His brothers Pino and Carlo recently visited from Rome, Italy. Fernando moved his young family to Canada in 1974 and was a proud Canadian citizen since 1978. He held strong ties to Italy and especially Rome, but planted deep and lasting roots in Canada first in Langley BC and then here in Oliver. He and Gianna worked tirelessly for their family building a life in Canada from 2 trunks and 5 suit cases with help and support from the many friends he found here. He was a founding member of the Italo-Canadian Club in Langley BC holding positions of director and treasurer over his 20 year affiliation with the club. Fernando was a family man and always ready to help friends and family. His one true passion was his wine. He retired from a career in construction to Oliver and was able to work in the wine industry for much of the past 10 years for Burrowing Owl. Up until the last, his passion for wine and wine making kept him moving; filtering and bottling his last Pinot Grigio perfected with the help of Maverick Estate’s wine maker, Bertus. He took great pride in his home, working over the past decade to finish and refine it himself. Prayers will be recited at Christ the King Catholic Church at 5:00 p.m. Thursday November 6, 2014 A funeral mass will be held in Oliver at Christ the King Catholic Church on Friday November 7th at 3:00 PM followed by a reception hosted by the CWL in the church lower hall. Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visiting: www.nunes-pottinger.com Arrangements entrusted to Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Service & Crematorium, Oliver & Osoyoos.
