Attendance up at Good Times Cruise-In MORE CARS, PEOPLE EXPECTED TO MEAN MORE FOR CHARITIES DA N F ERG U SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r
The first visitors to the Langley Good Times Cruise-In arrived around 3 a.m. Saturday. That’s when two determined fans of InN-Out burgers got in line at the hamburger chain’s community event food truck in the Cascades Casino parking lot. At 8 a.m. the pair collected their tickets and got in line for burgers. It took just over two hours for In-N-Out to sell out. Organizers said attendance was up from last year, with as many as 100,000 visitors and 1,148 vehicles. About 200 volunteers worked on the annual non-profit Langley City event. Cruise-In society board secretary-treasurer Wayne Patterson said once all the expenses and donations have been calculated this year’s event would likely raise more than the $60,453 in money collected for local charities last year. It was the first year of the by-invitation Rokstad Power custom car showcase, featuring the “Rivision,” a customized Buick Riveria that won the coveted Ridler award at the 2014 Detroit Autorama. The Sunday swap meet drew a record response. Initial estimates put attendance at between 10,000 and 15,000 people.

Thousands of classic car enthusiasts filled the streets of downtown Langley City on Saturday, as the annual Good Times Cruise-In returned for another year. For more photos from the event, see page 34.
The B.C. Coroner’s Service has identified 87-year-old Helena Theodora Van Gool, of Langley, as the patient who died following a collision between an ambulance and a train on Friday, Sept. 11. The coroner said Van Gool was airlifted to Royal Columbian after the crash but died in hospital later that day. Her family has been notified. The B.C. Emergency Health Services said paramedics were completing an inter-facility transfer from a Willoughby seniors’ residence to hospital, with Van Gool listed in stable condition before the collision. Both Van Gool and an ambulance attendant were airlifted to hospital. The paramedic is now listed in stable condition. The collision happened at 11:22 a.m. at the train crossing at 216 Street and Glover Road. According to police, the driver of the ambulance is
suffering from some back pain but is otherwise uninjured. No personnel on the train were injured. The CN freight train was northbound at the time of the collision and due to its length, all roads in the area including the Langley ByPass at Glover Road were closed to traffic. Video of the crash, caught on a driver’s dash cam and posted on YouTube, shows that the back end of the ambulance was on the tracks when the train hit it, spinning the ambulance 180 degrees before the front end smashed into the moving train. The whistle of the train can be heard blaring before the crash occurred. The collision remains under investigation by police, the Transportation Safety Board, WorkSafe BC, CP Rail and BC Ambulance Service. B.C. Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) has launched its own internal investigation. Continued Page 5

Toyota flipped on freeway
ALDERGROVE BIRTHDAY BOY MAKES HARD LANDING, FIRE DEPT. CALLED MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
A man celebrated his 19th birthday by getting inebriated and falling out of a tree in Aldergrove on Sept. 9. Langley RCMP and Township fire department were called to the 27100 block of 31 Avenue following reports
of a drunk man who had climbed so high up a tree he couldn’t get down. By the time emergency crews had arrived, the intoxicated man had fallen out of the tree and broken his arm, said Township fire department. He was taken to hospital but appeared to be in good spirits.
Avalanche rescue packs stolen from Gloucester Thieves may be walking around with some very special backpacks. At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Aug. 27, a business in the Gloucester area was broken into and several backpacks were stolen. These packs are very specific in that they are made to carry avalanche rescue devices. The backpacks range in value between $75 and $110. If you have information that might assist police with this investigation, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

One person was airlifted to hospital after a crash involving two vehicles blocked Highway One westbound near 232 Street in Langley for several hours early Monday night. Police said it appeared an unsafe lane change by a Dodge pickup truck caused a Toyota to end up on its roof in the middle of the freeway. The female driver of the Toyota was transported to hospital by air ambulance. The westbound lanes of Highway One were closed for several hours. Subm itted ph oto
Grow-op operator unable to move LEGAL BATTLE OVER HEALTH CANADA LICENCES MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO RELOCATE
D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The owner of a medicinal marijuana grow-op in a Walnut Grove residential neighbourhood is following all applicable safety and ventilation regulations, said Township manager of bylaw enforcement Bill Storie. That was the outcome of an inspection ordered after people living next to the house where the grow-op is located complained to the Township in August. Storie told The Times that the owner of the facility is unable to move to another location because Health Canada has stopped issuing new medicinal marijuana growing licences. The licence to grow marijuana is “spe-
cific to the address,” Storie said, meaning the operator would need a new licence to operate if he relocated. The freeze on Health Canada marijuana growing licences came because of a court battle over a federal government plan to replace the hundreds of small legal growers with larger commercial-scale grow ops. The more than 600 medicinal grow-ops in Langley (by Township estimate) were all supposed to close last year, when smallscale growing licences issued by the federal government were set to expire as part of the switch to large-scale bulk marijuana cultivation. But when the small growers objected to being eliminated and went to court, they managed to obtain an injunction.
The Federal Court of Canada is expected to decide whether the injunction should be made permanent within the next few months, but whatever the decision, it will almost certainly be appealed, meaning it could be several years before the matter is settled. Meanwhile, all municipalities, including the Township, can do is inspect grow-ops to make sure they have proper air filtering to reduce odours and don’t present fire or other safety hazards. Residents of the Walnut Grove neighbourhood who complained about the grow-op told The Times they would have been better off it it was an illegal operation that could be closed down by police. Margaret and her husband Paul live on
one side of the grow-op, while Chris and Elizabeth live on the other (at their request, The Times is not using their last names nor divulging their addresses). “I have no rights in this,” Margaret said. Paul was concerned about the potential fire hazard posed by running a grow-operation in a house that is not designed to serve as a greenhouse. Both couples expressed concern that criminals would discover the grow-op location and attempt to rob it. “What if they (criminals) go to the wrong house?” Chris said. “No one wants to help,” Elizabeth said. Attempts by The Times to contact the owner of the grow op for comment were not successful.

Police believe the man pictured is responsible for the Aug. 9 sexual assault of a Langley gas station employee. Anyone who can identify him is asked to contact Langley RCMP.
Assault suspect caught on security camera Langley RCMP have obtained still photographs of the suspect in an Aug. 9 sexual assault of a gas station employee. A composite sketch was distributed on Aug. 27, but so far no arrests have been made. Police allege the pictured male assaulted a gas station employee in the 19800 block of Fraser Highway. The suspect appeared to be intoxicated and entered the gas station shortly before 8 p.m. He came up behind the employee as she ate her lunch and touched her inappropriately, qualifying as a sexual assault, said Langley RCMP
Cpl. Holly Marks. She was able to push him away. Two men came during the assault and one man pushed the suspect out of the store. The suspect is described as South Asian, in his mid-20s, with brown hair (similar to Elvis’ style), brown eyes and a goatee, approximately 5’6” tall, 155 lbs, wearing jeans and a dark blue plaid shirt. He was carrying a black back pack. Anyone with information is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-5323200. To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

BCEHS to launch internal investigation
Shortage of volunteers sinks four committees
From Page 1
A statement from Linda Lupini, BCEHS executive vice-president, said they are taking the crash ‘very seriously.’ “Our first thoughts, as an organization dedicated to the care of patients, are of course, with the patient we were transporting . . . We are also very concerned for the paramedics involved and are offering support to them . . . We are launching an internal investigation as well as fully co-operating with the RCMP and other agencies,” said Lupini on Friday. Anyone who witnessed the crash and has not yet spoken to police is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.
TOWNSHIP SAYS RESOURCES WERE BEING STRETCHED TOO THIN NICK TER EZAKIS Special t o The Time s
D AN FERGU SO N Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A shortage of volunteers to serve on community advisory committees was given as the reason behind a Township council decision to cut the number of the committees from eight to four. The decision was made Monday night. The vote during the public meeting was done quietly and quickly, with councillor Kim Richter voting against (Councillor David Davis was absent). “This was not an easy decision to make,” mayor Jack Froese said. “However, after conducting a detailed review of our committee structure and taking into account the low number of applications we receive, we realized our volunteer resources are being stretched.” A report to council said vacancies on many committees remained unfilled several months after the Township began advertising in the fall of 2014, and some positions were not filled until March of this year, “well after the work plans had been approved and tasks assigned.” Froese said council will use more task forces in the future, consisting of groups of volunteers who will study and make recommendations on specific topics during defined, shorter time frames. “This means we can target issues as they arise and call on our volunteers to provide assistance and expertise, without overextending their efforts,” Froese said. At the end of 2015, there will be four Council Advisory Committees: Agriculture Advisory and Economic Enhancement Committee (AAEEC), Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC), Recreation, Culture and Parks Advisory Committee (RCPAC), and Seniors Advisory Committee (SAC). Youth community members will be added to each of the four committees and public safety issues will be addressed by the Council Priorities Committee, which is separate from the advisory committees. “The Township of Langley greatly appreciates the time, knowledge, and effort that our volunteer appointees bring to our committees, and their efforts to enhance our community,” Froese said. “We look forward to enacting this change and maximizing our use of volunteer resources.”

35th annual Terry Fox run to hit the trail on Sunday EVENTS SET FOR LANGLEY CITY, WALNUT GROVE It was 35 years ago that Terry Fox first embarked on his Marathon of Hope across Canada, and on Sunday Sept. 20, supporters in Langley City and Walnut Grove will continue to honour his legacy. The annual Terry Fox Run will return to Douglas Park on the national run day to raise money for cancer research. Marg McGuire-Grout, chair of the Terry Fox Run organizing committee, and her team are hard at work to ensure this year’s run is bigger and better than ever. “We are well underway in our preparations to make the Langley City run of 2015 a great success,” McGuire-Grout said. “I continue to be amazed at the number of people ready to give of their time and energy for this great cause.” Given that this is the 35th anniversary, McGuire-Grout says it is truly remarkable that people are still as passionate

Township of Langley fire ban remains in effect despite rain Despite the return of cooler temperatures and some rainfall, the Township of Langley Fire Department advises residents that outdoor burning is not yet allowed. Fire officials will wait until there is a significant amount of rainfall and conditions are not so dangerously dry before lifting the ban. If weather conditions change and water supplies improve over the next few days, burning may be permitted next week.
Until then, the Township said, it has zero tolerance for burning offenders and those who contravene the ban will face fines exceeding $200. Water restrictions have been returned to Stage Two by Metro Vancouver, but it is still too dry to allow burning. Under normal conditions, the Township’s burning season runs between Sept. 1 and Oct. 31. For more information, call the Langley fire department at 604-532-7500.

Three and a half decades ago, a young Canadian man whose name nobody outside his circle of family, friends and medical professionals had ever heard, dipped his prosthetic leg in the Atlantic Ocean and set out on the journey of a lifetime. Thirty five years later, you’d be hard pressed to find a person in Canada who is unfamiliar with Terry Fox — or throughout much of the world, for that matter. In the decades since his Marathon of Hope was cut short by the return of the cancer that claimed his leg — and eventually his life — Terry’s journey has been taken up by countless participants across the globe, with millions of dollars raised for cancer research in the process. This Sunday, Sept. 20, Terry’s legacy will be honoured once again as walkers, runners, bicyclists, bladers and many others will once again hit roads and trails across Canada and in many other nations around the world in his memory. For a while this spring, it looked as though this year’s Langley City event might have to be cancelled for lack of an organizer. Enter Marg McGuire-Grout, who took on the role and, supported by a team of volunteers, has put together an event suitable for people at all levels of ability. The run/walk, which begins and ends in Douglas Park, includes 1K, 5K and 10K routes, winding along the Nicomekl flood plain. Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. and the run starts at 10 a.m. In Walnut Grove, participants will gather at the Walnut Grove Community Centre, 8889 Walnut Grove Dr. Registration also begins at 8:30, but the run starts an hour earlier than the City’s, at 9 a.m., with event wrap-up set for noon. We’d encourage anyone who is on the fence to get out and participate this year, even if it’s just for an easy one-kilometre stroll. In doing so, you’ll be honouring not only Terry, but the tireless efforts of volunteers in both communities who are helping to ensure that his legacy lives on in the Langleys.

Question
of the week
Will you vote differently in the upcoming federal election than you did in 2011?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
Water use reined in they
We may not have much of an idea what to do when the power goes out, but Metro Vancouver came through when it came to conserving water this summer. A long and unexpected run of hot weather at the beginning of the season led to dire predictions — and a bout of neighbour shaming when some lawns seemed significantly, and suspiciously, greener than others. But though some chafed at stringent Stage 3 regulations that even put washing your car on the forbidden list — unless you were an automated car wash patron — the fact remains water use was soon reined in to acceptable levels. Metro Vancouver has since moved down to Stage 2 water restrictions with reservoirs now at the 60 per cent level — basically limiting pressure washing to health-and-safety needs only, minimum water maintenance of playing fields and a continued ban on public and commercial fountains and water features. This is deemed a healthy position to be in at the beginning of fall, and while recent rain has clearly eased the situation, a reduction of public use is also being credited for the improved outlook. Just as most of us realize that it’s a good thing to pull over our cars when police vehicles are barrelling through intersections on the way to or from some crisis, people seemed to grasp that conserving water was an easy and relatively painless way for us to show our responsible side. We should be glad, too, that we only have to deal with such patently First World problems — rather than worrying about surviving war, or disease, or the devastation caused by some natural disaster. It’s best to be prepared, after all, even if that involves some personal discomfort or inconvenience — and the relaxing of water restrictions, as encouraging as it is, is no call for complacency in the future. — Peace Arch News

B.C. Views Taking credit? Take responsibility column right on the mark Editor: Re: Urban society slides into helplessness (B.C. Views, The Times, Sept. 9). Thanks for the article on the way society cannot handle any small upsets to the status quo. I remember the big windstorm of 2006, which incidentally was in December. I was a 60-plus senior at the time, and my power was out in a residential area of Colwood for five and a half days, as our two-house power line was not a high priority in the queue. I watched the Hydro trucks go by day after day, waiting my turn for reconnection. Fortunately I have a wood stove that can heat my house, boil water and cook food. It does get tiresome living by candlelight but I had my disaster radio nearby to listen to the local station give updates on how Hydro was doing. Most of my freezer contents were moved to friends’ homes, and my garden shed became my refrigerator. Anyone with common sense can understand that the repair crews work tirelessly to restore power as quickly as possible, and perhaps the media could help by reminding people that they need to fend for themselves for several days if the major earthquake ever occurs. Calling 911 just clogs up the lines and can stop people from getting through with real emergencies. Whatever will we do when the “big one” comes? MARGARET MERCER, COLWOOD
Editor: I read the Aug. 13 Aldergrove Star article titled “Warawa facing five challengers in riding” with great interest. The article listed some of Mark’s supposed accomplishments and apparently, amongst others, Mr. Warawa is responsible for building the new Aldergrove Border Crossing. Personally, I’m a bit skeptical, but taking him at his word, I thought I would have a look at some of the other things Mark must then be responsible for; given his influence and the fact that he is our only representative to the federal government. As our MP, I would think he should have his finger on all things of interest to us, his constituents. In 2004, when Mark was elected, our national debt was $503 billion. Today it is $616 billion. So Mark’s policies have put us $113 billion further in the hole in the last 11 years. A couple of times a year Mark sends out literature to his electorate sometimes stating that we will have a “balanced budget” two years hence. It’s always the same — a balanced budget in two years. When questioned last spring, the finance minister said he would “let his granddaughter worry about the debt.” Is that what Mark thinks? Is that what we think? What else has Mark been up to? We do have all of those free trade agreements. You know the ones that send our jobs away to countries where
the wages are much, much lower. We sell them our raw materials, they turn them into finished goods and we buy them back. So with our new “Mark approved” Canadian dollar (he needs to take responsibility for that, too) we sell our raw materials to them with 75 cent dollars and we buy the goods using the US dollar worth $1.31 Canadian. They will take all of the cheap raw materials we can ship, but how much longer we can afford to pile up credit card debt to buy their goods is yet to be seen. It’s all kind of a “sell low, buy high” scheme. And, with the latest free trade agreement, it is estimated that 60 per cent of our “family farms” will disappear almost overnight. But don’t worry about the farmers, because the Canadian taxpayer will foot the bill for that one. We’ll get cheaper milk someday and pay higher taxes for a long, long time to pay the expense of buying out the farmers. And regarding my comment about the Canadian dollar; Mark would say it’s just a glitch tied to low oil prices. It’s obvious it is tied to oil prices, but why is our dollar also losing ground to all of the major world currencies? Could it be that we have tied our entire economy to the price of oil? We used to manufacture things but much of that’s gone now. Mark’s policies work OK as long as we’re digging up the tar sands and selling it at a good price, but as soon as the
price drops we’re in trouble because we have nothing else to sell to balance it out. And the oil in the tar sands? I doubt if even a bucket of that is owned by a Canadian company. It’s all foreign interests who pay a royalty when prices are good and pay nothing or less when the price is low. The price of oil drops too low and they can just stop digging, it will still be there in 10 years, so they can wait. And what happens when there is none left? It’s OK, we can let our granddaughters worry about it — the same ones who’ll have to worry about the mountain of debt we left them. Enough about Mark’s “accomplishments.” The other parties aren’t making much of an effort in the Langley/ Aldergrove riding because they think that the voters in this district are too lazy to get out and vote, and they may be right. Last time, only 22 per cent of us voted and 60 per cent of those were Mark’s supporters. We let 13 per cent of Langley/Aldergrove voters decide who was to govern our great country. We can’t do that again. Remember to vote on Oct. 19; mark it on your calendar. You owe it to your granddaughter. LARRY KYDD, ALDERGROVE (Editor’s note: The article in question also appeared in the Aug. 12 issue of the Langley Times)
Response is ‘worrying’ Editor: Many thanks for this column. I believe that the reliance by people on government combined with the emotional response and seeming helplessness by many citizens to even temporary inconveniences is worrying in the least and perhaps dangerous in the longer run. Please write more about this issue. ALLAN WOODBURY, DELTA
‘Learned helplessness’ Editor: I couldn’t agree more with your article on how we now need the government or some other entity to look out for us every day, all day. I believe the term for it is “learned helplessness.” LLOYD JENKINS, LANGFORD
‘PR’ would benefit Conservatives, too Editor: In response to the letter titled “If you think your vote doesn’t count, you’re right” (The Times, Sept. 9). The author makes the case for PR (proportional representation) with the most important point being that with PR, “We could finally have every vote count.” But consider the audience; Langley is a Conservative stronghold. In the 2011 election, over 35,000 conservatives turned up to vote in Langley. The author suggests that the smaller parties would benefit from PR, allowing unrepresented voters to finally find their voice in the House of Commons. But there is one important party that he left off his list — the Conservative Party of Canada. If the polls are to believed, and we are headed toward an NDP
government with a Liberal opposition, who will speak for the millions of conservatives in this country? PR isn’t just an issue for smaller parties. PR will allow each and every one of us to forget about voting for party A or party B, just so party C doesn’t get in. PR will allow us to vote for the people we honestly believe will represent us the best. Proportional Representation is exactly what progressive voters need, but it is also what conservatives need. If by some fluke Langley wakes up to an NDP majority on Oct. 20, there are going to be 35,000 Langley conservatives wishing PR had been already in place. WILL BREEZE, LANGLEY

Alzheimer’s Disease is a significant concern, but by the time cognitive deficits become apparent, the condition is advanced, limiting treatment options. A study has now found a series of symptoms that tend to precede dementia: first, irritability, depression, and nighttime behavioral changes; followed by anxiety, appetite changes, agitation, and apathy; and last, elation, motor disturbances, hallucinations, delusions, and disinhibition. In addition to knowing what symptoms precede the development of Alzheimer’s and dementia, having a biomarker – a change that can be measured scientifically – would help identify patients earlier and allow for early intervention. Several blood proteins associated with Alzheimer’s have been found to be at abnormal levels years before symptoms appear! Promising news – both for treatment and prevention. A reasonable amount of concern can be a beneficial thing – an opportunity to identify a problem and make changes for the better.

Election 2015: Politicians make their pitch to parents CHILD CARE BENEFITS, $15 DAYCARE AMONG FEDERAL CAMPAIGN PROMISES TOM FLETCHER Black Press
Parents are spending the money and feeling the love like never before from parties contesting the Oct. 19 federal election. Prime Minister Stephen Harper expanded his favoured approach of direct payments, increasing the Conservative government’s child care benefit plan that has been compared to the former Family Allowance. The increase was set up to produce bonus cheques to eligible parents in July, retroactive to the start of the year. Payments went up from $100
to $160 a month for each child under six, with a new $60 payment for those aged seven to 17, payable to families regardless of income or method of child care. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau responded by promising a modified version that would phase out the benefit for high-income families and increase payments for the rest. Building into its calculations a proposed income tax cut for middle and low-income people, the party estimates a two-parent family with an income of $90,000 and two children would receive $490 a month tax free,

compared to the Conservative program of $275 a month after taxes. The Liberals calculate that a single parent with $30,000 income and one child would receive $533 a month, up from $440 under Conservative child benefit and tax rules. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has offered to retain the Conservative payments and expand Quebec’s subsidized daycare program across the country, with a maximum payment of $15 a day and a long-term goal of creating one million new spaces across the country.

A 16-year-old from Langley was one of just 16 B.C. army cadets chosen to participate in the 2015 Regional Cadet Expedition. Brad Hazelton wound up his nineday adventure on Monday, Aug. 31. The expedition included two days of biking on Vancouver Island and four days of lake and ocean kayaking in the Gulf Islands. The cadets were put in challenging situations and over the nine days they learned to work together as a cohesive team. Each cadet also took a turn as team leader. Cadets honed their skills in planning a route, map reading, navigation, bike-maintenance, using a GPS, equipment and clothing selection, low-impact camping, and promoting environmental stewardship. Hazelton called the experience “a crash course in kayaking.” “The cadet program has been a great experience and a great challenge” Hazelton said. The R.E. Mountain Secondary student has been with 1922 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps for five years. Every one of the five people in his family has been part of the cadet program at some point. There are more than 2,000 army cadets in B.C. All participate in expeditions appropriate to their training

Ogen said. Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members. “Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future. “Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?” Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by. You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them. More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters.

Settle Into Fall Harvest Time is Here! There’s a crispness in the air. The leaves are starting to turn bright colours, and mornings are fresh with dew. Autumn is definitely here, and residents at Magnolia Gardens are getting out their cardigans. Fall is also time for comfort food, and Michael Maciborski, the head chef at Magnolia Gardens and Area Chef for all of Langley, is contemplating the ingredients for an early Fall root vegetable medley. This time, he’s roasting parsnips, turnips and yams, seasoned with fresh herbs and extra virgin olive oil. “My residents are not shy in telling what they want, and so I design our menu plans around their all-time favourite dishes and then introduce something new,” he says. “I like to prepare more interesting dishes and stay away from more run-of-the-mill combinations.” Michael enjoys collaboration, and, being resident-centred, he does his best to do just this. “We often have residents saying that they aren’t going to try something new, but once they taste it most of them are sold.” A great example: Mulligatawny
“The dining room is totally quiet when we have a particularly great meal — there’s less chatter and all you can hear is the clinking of silverware on plates.” —Michael Maciborski, Magnolia Gardens & Area Chef for Langley Soup. Know what it is? It’s an English soup modified after an piquantly-spiced South Asian recipe, richly endowed with meat and vegetables. “We had one resident go online for a definition. He told me afterwards that if he doesn’t know what something is, he uses his computer to look it up.” It was the same with a recent entrée Chicken Piccata, which is a comforting Italian classic made with fresh chicken breast medallions dipped in a mix of egg and parmesan cheese, grilled and served with a light tomato sauce. It simply must be tasted to appreciate. “I often walk through our dining room to speak with residents about new menu items so that they have a better idea
This Fall, the dining room at Magnolia Gardens is serving everyone’s favourite classics with just a little something new! of their choices,” says Michael. “I also get to know them better — I learn about their tastes, and what they really enjoy about the dining experience.” Residents at Magnolia Gardens love the plush dining room, the view over the gardens and water pond, and they are always complimentary about the food.
“They want ‘real food’, and that’s just what we provide,” adds Michael. “We give them the dishes their grandmothers would have made.” If you want the Magnolia Gardens dining experience, book a free lunch tour with Jane Bryce, Area Marketing Manager for Langley at 604 514-1210.

Planning your escape can help prevent tragedy
Public fire and life safety educator Krista Barton of the Township of Langley Fire Department encourages residents to have a home escape plan and practice it with all family members, even very young children. Drawing a map of your home and identifying the exits, and investing in an escape ladder, will help if an emergency strikes.
TOWNSHIP FIRE DEPARTMENT URGES RESIDENTS TO PLAN AND PRACTISE GETTING OUT ALIVE It is easy to think, “It won’t happen to me.” But accidents happen and emergencies arise — and when they do, being prepared could mean the difference between life and death. The Township of Langley Fire Department is encouraging residents to plan and practice their escape routes, so everyone knows what to do if a fire or other emergency situation occurs in their home. “If a fire starts in your home, you may only have a few minutes to get out, once the smoke alarm sounds,” said Krista Barton, Township public fire and life safety educator. “Everyone needs to know what to do and where to go if there is a fire. “Taking just a few moments every few months to review your emergency escape route can save your family’s lives.” The fire department urges residents to take a look around their home and find at least two ways out of every room, if possible, and ensure all doors and windows that lead outside open easily. Creating a map of the home and its exits will help, and escape ladders, which are available at hardware stores, may be valuable for homes that have more than one level. “You hope you never have to use it, but it is there if you need it,” said Barton. Families should establish a meeting place a safe distance away from the home, such as a neighbour’s house,
a big tree, or the end of the driveway, so that everyone can be accounted for. “We lose lives when people can’t find each other,” Barton said. “They go back in looking for somebody who may have already gotten out.” The most important thing, she added, is to practice the escape routes at least twice a year, so that everyone in the home is comfortable with the procedure and it stays fresh in their minds. The home escape plans should be practiced at night as well as during the day. Even very young children need to be involved, said Barton. “You are never too young to start the process,” she said, noting that “kids look to their parents for assistance, but what if you aren’t able to get to them? They need to know how to escape on their own in case you can’t help them.” Practising will help children remember and learn, Barton said, and the experience will stay with them, so they are less frightened if a real emergency strikes. “Walk through it with them and reassure them,” she said. “Give them responsibilities and challenge them with activities, such as drawing a map of the home or picking the meeting place. They will feel better because they are helping make sure everyone is safe.” The Township of Langley offers the following tips for home escape planning: • To make a home escape plan, draw a map of your home

showing all doors and windows. Discuss the plan with everyone in your home. • Practise different ways out. • Close doors behind you as you leave. • Have an outside meeting place where everyone should meet. • If the alarm sounds, get out and stay out.
Never go back inside for people or pets; • If you have to escape through smoke, get low and go under the smoke; • Call the fire department from outside your home; • Keep your family safe with a working smoke alarm in every bedroom.

Winter, Spring, Summer, Pumpkin SHELLEY LEVIS
The fall season
is upon us and it’s time to update your outdoor decor. Fall is apples, sweaters, pumpkins and cider. It’s about corn mazes and hayrides, foggy days and bonfire nights. It is also one of the most colorful seasons of the year and decorating your outdoor room or front porch is fun, easy and inexpensive to do. Right about now, your summer annuals like petunias and verbenas are all petered out. However, not everything in that planter needs to get tossed. Geraniums and potato vine will last all the way up to the first hard frost and can continue to be used for fall. Simply pull out your spent annuals and pop in a fall mum and an ornamental kale for an instant seasonal makeover. Create a vignette near the front door with a hay bale, a potted mum and some heirloom pumpkins and gourds. Spray paint fall pruning’s of twigs and branches orange and stick them into an existing planter for some seasonal interest. Do a few more in black to add to the planters closer to Halloween for a spooky fun look. Make a rustic wreath for the front door by gluing ornamental corn around a grape vine wreath, making sure to leave the dried leaves on and facing to the outside of the ring. Try dyeing or painting apple bushel baskets and use them as planters or lay them on their side spilling out mini orange pumpkins with your hay bale vignette. continued on next page

Saving for a Rainy Day SHELLEY LEVIS
Water wise
gardening is not just a fancy eco term any more; it has become the standard on how all future gardening must be conducted if you wish to have a beautiful garden throughout the year.
it and this was used to water all my containers and hanging baskets close to the house. Ollas are an ancient sub surface watering system using clay pots filled with water buried beneath the soil. They slowly weep moisture into the ground delivering a drink right to the root systems of neighboring plants and only need to be filled once a week. Look for Growoya pots sold at garden centers when you’re planting next spring, they were the difference in my raised garden beds this year and the benefits far outweighed the cost.
Many regions of Canada are used to having water restrictions come the dry months of summer, but for us here in the Pacific Northwest, this is a new challenge and not one we’ve actively had to prepare for up until now. Having the perfect lawn may have been seen as a symbol of gardening prowess in the past, but if you’re still sporting a lush green carpet now, your neighbors are not impressed. In fact, it’s probably viewed as gluttonous when everyone else has been cutting back following the rules to conserve.
If you have a garden renovation in your plans, then fall is the best time to do it. In spring, plants are busy with shoot and fruit growth, but in fall plants actively put on root growth preparing for winter and therefore have the best chance of establishing themselves when there is plenty of rainwater available.

FURNITURE & COLLECTIBLES MARKET
Hosted by Revamp Furniture Garage The most interesting vintage market has come to the fairgrounds in Cloverdale. With so many exciting vendors, it is well supplied with original, reinvented, and refurbished items. Some of the vendors have taken all year to amass their eclectic collections to display and sell to true enthusiasts.
Growing vegetables closer together cuts water consumption tremendously. Perfectly spaced rows of single varieties really only look good esthetically. Try planting four types of vegetables in one extra wide row and the leaves will shade the soil below keeping the roots cool and moist. Installing a rain barrel is easy to do and a garden saver during the summer. There wasn’t much rain fall this season, but my barrels did fill when we got

Wows! that
Water during a drought is a limited resource that should never be taken for granted. We all saw the effects of the shortage this summer from brown lawns and boulevards to dying trees and shrubs. We need to prioritize its conservation as part of our regular garden regime and if done correctly, we can efficiently make use of every last precious drop.
Vintage&Revamp
It would be a mistake to assume that this years drought conditions are an exception. If climate trend reports are correct, our mild winters will continue to affect the snow pack in the mountains and impact our dependency on the spring run offs to fill our reservoirs. We have an opportunity right now to make some adjustments in the way we garden and if we follow some simple techniques, we can enjoy being green in more ways than one.
Lastly, choose plants that are drought tolerant for those hot dry areas of your garden. These sun lovers can take the heat and will continue to perform during the hottest days of the year.

• CLOSET CONVERSION: Ample closet space is a big plus for home buyers, but upon moving into a new home, many homeowners may find they don’t need as much closet space as they initially thought. Guest room walk-in closets, in particular, may prove to be underutilized resources. Such closets often come with built-in shelving, and therefore, they make ideal spaces to convert to mini home offices or study areas for kids. Installing an extra shelf to serve as a desk area for remote working or homework stations won’t take up much of a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and before you know it, you will have a fully functioning workspace. • ACCENT WALL: Accent walls can liven up a room by breaking the color pattern of the walls in the room. Accent walls also can be used to divert attention on a particular design element in a room, such as a painting or an elaborate wall furnishing. Painting an accent wall won’t take very long, but such a project can give a room an entirely new look and feel. • DRIVEWAY: If weather permits, repaving an asphalt driveway can be an ideal weekend project, especially if an existing driveway has endured its fair share of wear and tear. Many driveways can be paved anew in a single day, but larger driveways or those that have endured an extraordinary amount of wear and tear may take a couple of days. • STORAGE AND SHELVING: Much like some homes come with an abundance of storage areas, others fall short of homeowners’ or apartment dwellers’ needs. If your home or apartment falls into the latter category, adding some shelving or finding some new furniture that can serve double duty as storage areas is a weekend project that can help clear up some space. Purchase some wood shelving from a local furniture retailer to mimic the look of traditional built-ins or replace existing single-use furniture with newer items capable of serving multiple functions, including storage. • ART: If the rooms and hallways in your home are bare or in need of new looks but your budget is tight, try your hand at spicing things up by creating some of your own paintings. Parents can encourage kids to create their own colorful masterpieces. Frame the finished works and hang them on the wall and enjoy your inexpensive and homemade “art gallery.”

Help your garden recover after the drought and survive the winter NIALL WIMSEY, FDSC. BSC. (HONS) HORT. - CEDAR RIM NURSERY
After the drought
and extreme heat we have had to deal with this summer, your garden may be looking a little forlorn and in need of some help. Fall is a great time to pull out any plants that didn’t make it and replant. The cooler outdoor temperatures in addition to the coming rain make this an excellent time to plant. The soil is still warm at this time of year, stimulating new root growth before the winter, giving plants a head start in the spring. This will put them in good stead if we experience similar weather next summer. Plants to think about this time of year are any hedging cedars that may have browned out due to lack of water and also any smaller shrubs and trees that didn’t make it through. Lightly scraping the stems of trees to see if they are green will tell you if the plant has died or not. LAWNS: Most lawns due to the sprinkler ban will be looking brown and sad, however this is not a great cause for concern as typically they are only in a dormant state and will soon green up. Any areas that do not come back can be re-seeded, you can also apply a fall application of lawn fertiliser, typically numbers 28-4-8, which can be done until October when the grass is still actively growing. Before reseeding, de-thatch and aerate the lawn too as this will encourage better air circulation around the grass and improve drainage for the winter. Broadleaf weeds such as plantains, thistles and bindweeds can also treated now, being very effective. VEG GARDEN: This time of year can be used to tidy up the veg garden when you
have finished harvesting what has been growing over the season, remove any finished plants to prevent any harboring pests and diseases. Any plants that are not diseased can be worked back into the ground where they will decompose to add rich organic matter into the soil. Root crops such as parsnips and carrots can be mulched over with straw to stop the ground from freezing, elongating your digging period. Parsnips taste much better once being exposed to cooler temperatures. TREES & SHRUBS: Once the rain comes, watering can be reduced however if we do have a dry period, be vigilant with new plantings. Fertilising plants into winter will encourage new tender growth that can be damaged by cold winds and lower temperatures. This is especially the case with Japanese maples that need a period to harden up for the winter. Taller shrubs such as buddleija (Butterfly Bush) and roses can be reduced in height to prevent the wind causing damage to the roots, known as root rock. The main pruning of roses can wait until the spring. TENDER OR NON-HARDY PLANTS: Any potted plants on your patio or deck should be protected if they are only semi-hardy. They are more vulnerable than plants in the ground and so wrapping the pot in bubble-wrap or burlap will add a layer of insulation. Plants such as bananas or cannas should cut back and given a heavy mulch to protect from the frost, alternatively a wire cage stuffed with straw and capped with plastic will allow bananas to retain a certain amount of height, giving them a head start in the
spring. Other tropicals can be lifted and kept in pots in either a shed or garage over winter, making sure to keep them moist. Palms should be wrapped with burlap and the fronds tied back, electric heat tape also prevents the stem from freezing when temperatures dip below zero. PERENNIALS: Once flowering has finished and top growth has died back, cut back to the ground within a few inches. Grasses can be left for winter interest and cut back in the spring. Perennials such as Rudbeckia and Echinacea can also provide winter interest when the flower stems and heads are left. Other plants such as Oriental poppies and Iris will produce new green growth in the fall and this shouldn’t be pruned. MULCHING: Mulching your flowerbeds over the fall suppresses annual weeds, adds protection and increases organic and humic content to your soil. Do not mulch peonies or bearded irises. Using your own compost or leaf mulch are also great alternatives; never waste that planter box mix you’ve just emptied out of your pots of finished summer annuals! WEEDS: Getting on top of your annual weeds that produce thousands of seeds will save you much time once the weather improves in spring. Hit perennial weeds with a selective herbicide or remove by hand. Deep rooting weeds are best treated with a non-selective herbicide such as glyphosate (Round-Up) an organic alternative is horticultural vinegar (Acetic acid).

Rising up from the Ashes SHELLEY LEVIS
British Columbia
witnessed some horrific forest fires this summer unlike any we’ve ever experienced before. For the first time, West Coasters were praying for rain rather than cursing it while we watched our beloved rain forests burn. Although it appears that a forest has been reduced to ash after a fire, we must look closer because in those charred remains, life is there and it begins to bounce back almost immediately after the smoke clears. What we experienced this year is what John Innes; dean of UBC’s faculty of forestry calls ‘the perfect storm’.
Factors such as climate change, El Nino and the North Pacific oscillation are responsible for our mild winter and the unusually warm temperatures that spiked thermometers this past spring. Thousands of fires sprung up everywhere due to the drought like conditions, both caused by human error and Mother Nature’s doing. However, this isn’t the first time our forests have been down this road and they have had hundreds of lifetimes to prepare for when it happens next.
Forest fires can be necessary to renew a habitat that has become stagnate. Any one can see the effect of an unbalanced and unhealthy landscape by simply taking a drive over the Coquihalla. The ghosts of dead tree’s go on for miles like match sticks just waiting to be struck by lighting. The pine beetle infestation has claimed those forests and only two things can stop them, extreme cold or extreme heat. Our mild winters do not dip low enough to take the pests out, so it has to be cleansed by fire and the trees

are ready for it. Species such as Lodge Pole Pines, Jack Pines and Cypress are fire adapted with a back up plan by producing Serotinus cones. The seeds in some of these cones can lie dormant for a hundred years or more waiting to be scarified by fire to be activated. The giant conifers of our forests will take decades to return to their full size but in the meantime, recolonizing begins and hundreds of species of both flora and fauna can thrive now that the leaf canopy no longer casts its forever shadow on the forest floor. The first to appear is the mosses and liverworts. As they spread, they hold moisture and prevent erosion from wind and water. They accumulate drifting organic matter such as leaves and forest litter, which begins to build up the nutrient value of the soil in the surrounding area. The next to follow is wildflowers and grasses that have been blown in from miles away due to unobstructed winds sailing through a flattened forest. Fire adapted plants are known as Pyrophytes and possess traits suited to bouncing back after a burn, quickly establishing themselves in open field habitats. With the leaf canopy gone, next to arrive is the lower growing shrubs that provide food for foraging animals and berries for birds. What we see as a scorched skeleton of a tree trunk is not lost on Mother Nature’s forest creatures. They become the perfect home for many cavity-nesting songbirds and charred stumps provide perches for birds of prey scouting the terrain for their next meal. Insects move into burned out trunks to establish colonies and therefore become a continuous supply of protein to the avian residents living nearby. Deciduous trees quickly put on size and species such as birch and spruce form patchy stands creating a diverse habitat while the coniferous trees slowly push up around them. Many decades from now, the evergreen giants will take over and the lower growing trees and shrubs will move into their shadow, struggle for light and die off. Their destiny is to become part of the humus layer of the woodland floor that will sustain the forest for generations to come, or at least until another forest fire wipes the landscape clean to restart the cycle all over again. Our human experience of what appears to be the devastation of a forest by fire is merely just a small micro tick in time for something that continuously evolves and is forever changing. We mourn for what was once there and for all the tomorrows we will not see it in its full glory again in our lifetime. Once you are able to understand the rhythm’s a forest must go through to renew itself for generations to come, it becomes easier to not grieve its death after a fire. Rather, you can allow yourself to be grateful that you were able to bare witness to the rebirth of a new one.

Preparing Seniors for The Perfect Storm JIM McGREGOR
A
recent wind storm caught the Lower Mainland by surprise and, right in the middle of a beautiful summer, many residents were without power for twenty-four hours to forty-eight hours. While an extended outage of services is unusual for our area, it should be taken as a wake-up call for everyone to prepare for the winter storms that are just around the corner. We all handle emergencies in different ways. One lady in her nineties shrugged and noted that she didn’t have electricity in her home until she was eleven years old. A much younger gentleman, interviewed at an inoperative gas pump, suggested ‘this is the end of the world.’ Emergency officials will tell you that in a disaster situation, these are the two types of people they will encounter. The ones that are self-sufficient and prepared to ride out the storm and the ones who immediately start calling for assistance. Which category do you fit into? Older people are disproportionately affected by disasters. With the aging population and the increase in disasters in Canada and globally, it is crucial to understand the factors that can place older people at risk and to consider their potential needs and contributions in all stages of emergency management. An emergency situation or an evacuation can be a frightening and confusing time. It is important that seniors be educated about the potential for emergencies, the steps to take to be prepared and, the programs and services available to help get them through the emergency and return to their regular routine. There are two possibilities that can occur during a disaster whether it is man - made or brought on by nature. You may be forced to shelter in place, that is stay where you are, or you may be forced to evacuate to a shelter or other safer accommodation. If you live in your own home, you must be prepared for 72 hours. This starts with making a plan. Sitting down with for family for twenty minutes and making an emergency plan
can make all the difference in a time of need. Simple concerns such as: • how you are going to contact each other and discuss different scenarios. • keeping a well- stocked first-aid kit on hand • keep a supply of water on hand, a gallon per day per person is recommended • make copies of important documents and keep them in a safe place • don’t let important medications run low, always ensure a 3 day supply is available • plan for any pets, medications or food they may need • know where your water and gas shut off valves are located • Purchase an emergency kit and be familiar what the contents are • Keep emergency cash on hand , banks will be closed, ATMs will not be available • With power out, gas stations will be closed; keep sufficient fuel in your vehicle • In the event of a serious winter storm, you may be kept indoors for days Losing contact and not being able to communicate with family or the outside world can be very traumatic for people living in rural areas. While Cell phone voice service may be out, texting service is still available. Learning to use the texting feature on your cell phone will allow you to get messages out to family or emergency personnel. If you do have voice service, keep your calls short and to the point, do not tie up the circuits with long, non-essential calls. Calling 9-1-1 to ask how long the power will be out is wasting valuable dispatcher time in an emergency. A three day food supply is also essential. Choose foods that: • Don’t require refrigeration • Will not increase thirst • Need little or no preparation • Require little or no water

• Are familiar to you and your family Do not use items like camp stoves or hibachis inside your home to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. If you are living in a senior residential facility, be fully aware of what the emergency procedures are in your building. Most facilities do not have back- up generators so find out what you can expect if the power goes out. Will you have elevator service? What areas of your hallways, stairwells or rooms will have emergency lighting? What are the arrangements for feeding or gathering? These are all questions you need to know ahead of time. In most cases, staff in these facilities will be extra busy and patience on your part will aid in the mitigation of the disaster. Trying to negotiate dark hallways or stairwells can lead to injuries or death. There is a possibility that you may be required to evacuate your home. Recent news casts of forest fires showed many residents being asked to leave on a moment’s notice. It is essential that seniors being evacuated during emergencies take all equipment or devices they may need immediately with them. Key areas to consider are: • Assistive devices such as canes, walkers, hearing aids, breathing apparatus, etc. • Prescription eyewear and footwear • Extra medications and vitamin supplements • Copies of prescriptions • Extra dentures (if required) and cleanser • Personal papers, identification • List of names and telephone numbers (such as family members, doctor, case worker, seniors’ group contact person, etc.) • Emergency cash The evacuation and preparedness challenge is greater for those seniors with special needs. Wearing your Medical Alert bracelet at all times and keeping special medication close by are essential considerations. Form a network

The Bus Co-op – Connected Communities, Cooperative Transportation JIM McGREGOR
The United Way report on Senior’s Vulnerability shows that close to 150,000 seniors in the Lower Mainland experience activity limitations. Simply said, getting from point A to point B is a challenge on a daily basis. The report further points out that a lack of affordable and appropriate transportation options increases risk of social isolation and those over age 60 are often considered to be at higher risk of becoming “transport captives.” Although services such as volunteer drivers and community shuttles exist to fill the transportation gap, they can be expensive and inefficient. Janice McTaggart is the Outreach Coordinator for the Langley Senior Resources Centre and is well aware of the challenges that Langley Seniors face when it comes to getting around. “Safe and affordable transportation and reliable service are the key components we were missing for the large rural Langley area. We acknowledged that many seniors could not attend, church, go
shopping, or take part in our programs here at the Senior’s Centre because they had no way of getting there.” The Langley Community had been working on transportation options for seniors for many years. Through Better Environmentally Sound Transportation, a business plan was drawn up in 2010-11 for Langley Senior Resources Society to provide shuttle bus service for seniors in our outlying Township areas to come into Langley City. Funding for this project was not found, but a need arose for a grocery shuttle in downtown Langley
when a local food store closed leaving seniors without a store in walking distance. Price Smart Foods came on board to help sustain this small project and it is still happening albeit less frequently. In 2012, LSRS applied for seed funding from VanCity to take another look at bus transportation. Consultants were retained to examine possibilities around providing bus transportation to seniors. Their conclusions led us to consider a Cooperative model. The model and feasibility study were presented in 2013 to a large group of Langley stakeholders including
A better way of life...
Supported Housing managers, Township & City representatives, Translink/Handydart staffers and interested citizens. There was a will to move forward and a steering committee was formed. The steering committee evolved to a smaller group of committed organizations (Langley Senior Resources Society, Langley Care Society, and Bria Communities Magnolia Gardens). On April 2, 2014 they were incorporated under the Cooperative Association Act as Fraser Valley Transportation Cooperative. A consultant was retained to continue supporting the first directors in facilitating partnerships and assisting in policy development for which Vancity has provided additional grant funds. A contract has now been signed with STAR (Seniors Transportation Access and Resources) and with MODO Car Cooperative. These two groups will manage the cooperative’s booking, invoicing, and branding as well as bus maintenance, refit and driver training. Translink (Access Transit) has committed to donating a bus to

the cooperative. In July and August 2014 the ownership of buses was transferred, and they were wrapped with the new logo, evaluated, insured and bus drivers registered and trained. Usage policies were written and printed for each bus. A contract is in place with MODO to use their Engage software for bookings and to outfit the buses with necessary hardware. October 15, 2014 was set as the official public launch of the Bus Co-op and was held at the Langley Seniors Centre. The Bus Coop website, www.busco-op.com, went live on Oct. 14, 2014. “This first year of operations has been an active one with many exciting successes, but there is still so much more The Bus Co-op can achieve for the community,” suggests Janice. “Everything we do is about creating inclusive, accessible connected communities and the more members we can attract the more people we can help.” A great example is the partnership established with Envision Credit Union.

Bus Co-op located from downtown Langley City to the Willowbrook area, it created a hardship for many seniors who could no longer walk to their bank. Envision partnered with the Langley Senior Resources Society, a member of the Bus Co-op, providing a free shuttle service to and from select Langley locations including stops at Envision Financial’ s Willoughby branch as well as shopping malls and grocery stores. “The Bus Co-op is simply bus sharing,” explains Janice.” “The co-op owns the buses that were previously owned by members and, rather than having a bus that sits idle most of the time and costs money for fuel, maintenance and insurance, member agencies get access to a variety of buses to suit their specific needs.” “We see that many organizations such as churches, seniors’ residences and other organizations can benefit from membership in the Bus Co-op. So many isolated seniors cannot get to a church service, a play or a social activity. The bus trips themselves become a social community and it gets more eyes on vulnerable people more often.” Janice points out the economy of the program. “The onetime cost to join The Bus Co-op is $7500.00 and the cost savings on vehicle upkeep and insurance or having to replace a bus.quickly offset this fee. We want to keep building on the successes of our first year. More Bus Co-op members means more connected seniors.” For more information on how to connect with The Bus Co-Op, contact Janice McTaggart at the Langley Seniors Resources Centre at (604) 530-3020 or The Bus Co-op website at www.busco-op.com.

Singing the songs of Young TRIBUTE PLAYER SHOWS OFF COMMUNITY TALENT WITH OPEN MIC NIGHT S MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r
After 36 years of playing in a band professionally, Roger Potter still doesn’t know how to sight read music. The guitar-drum-harmonica player taught himself by ear when he was 11 years old, and that’s how he continues to play today. “Just out of spite I taught myself to play,” Potter said. Everyone told him he couldn’t. According to his parents, he was too young to take lessons, and according to his older brothers, he was too lefthanded. “We always had guitars hanging on the wall,” Potter recalled. “And I said to my brother, ‘can I switch the strings around?’ “And he said, ‘no.’ “And I said, ‘fine I’ll teach myself this way.’” Practising in his bedroom with his non-dominant right hand, Potter soon mastered the instrument. At age 15, his best friend asked him if he wanted to try playing with his father’s band. “I thought it would be fun to play with other people, I hadn’t done that before,” Potter said. “I played with them for a couple of nights and they said, ‘how would you feel about joining the band?’ “They were all older than I am now, I was only 15 years old. We played weekends, and as soon as I finished high school we went on the road.” As it turns out, Potter has a knack for imitating sounds. Not only can he listen to a song and play it back on a guitar, he can also sing it. “Anybody I’m singing I kind of sound like them,” he said. “When I sing like the Beatles, I have a

bit of a British accent. I’ll put on a Scottish accent for 500 Miles, I’ll do Trooper. You try to make it sound as much like the song as you can with one guitar.” Though he is good with many famous voices, Potter’s real talent is Neil Young. After playing in more than a dozen different bands through the 1980s and ’90s, Potter has found his passion fronting
the Neil Young tribute band, Live Rust. It doesn’t take much for him to get into character. A lifelong Neil Young fan, Potter has grown up listening and playing along to his albums. Equipped with an old Les Paul guitar and an authentic soundboard formerly used by Neil Young himself, Potter has the artist’s distinctive sound and presence
down to an art. “I’ll put a cowboy hat on, tuck my head down and wear the flannel like Neil does,” Potter said. “But it’s mostly about the music though, and the feel.” Potter also enjoys meeting the patrons of his shows, many who share his same Continued Page 38

Sipping the best of B.C. MIR ANDA GATHER COLE Tim es Reporter
When Lynette Faye launched the Fraser Valley Cork and Keg wine, beer and food festival five years ago, she had to fund the event with her personal credit card. A a newcomer to Langley from Vancouver, she was determined to bring the craft beer and wine market out to the Fraser Valley. “I’ve been in the liquor industry for more than 20 years and there was just really no events out here,” Faye said. “We found ourselves continuously having to go downtown for sampling events and things like that.” Now, the Fraser Valley Cork and Keg is a yearly sellout and features one of the largest samplings of craft beer and wine in the Valley. Taking place on Sept. 18 at Cascades Casino, there will be 16 breweries, six distilleries, 21 wineries and 10 food vendors represented. “We have the most
vendors that we’ve ever had before,” Faye said. “It’s a nice group of hard to find producers, primarily from B.C. A lot of what you aren’t going to find in mainstream distribution will be there this year.” As an industry that is growing throughout B.C., Faye says consumers are loving the products coming from local producers. Wine sales were more than $1 billion in B.C. in 2014, and the number of distilleries have tripled in the past three years. “We are seeing really, really fantastic products coming out of B.C.,” she said. “It shows that we don’t always have to have mainstream products. There’s still a place for those, but we have some really fabulous local producers you can support. “We’re on to something that the industry supports as well as the consumer.” Partial proceeds from this year’s Cork and Keg festival will go to

Neighbouring artists host outdoor show MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r
The slice of Glover Road that stretches through the village of Fort Langley has long been known for it’s eclectic shops and quaint galleries. Tucked around the corner on Billy Brown Road these shops continue, however fewer people seem to make it that far. That’s what three local artists want to change. Neighbours Pat Barker of the Pencil Studio, Susan Galick of Susan Galick Fine Art Studio Gallery and Judy Nygren of Nygren Studio Gallery are hosting the Art in the Park event outside the Flatiron building this Saturday to remind folks that there is more to see. “We’re just trying to get people to come around the main street of Fort Langley,” Galick said. “It’s just such a neat community.” This is the first collaboration between the three artists, who have become close friends since moving in to the work-live spaces at the Flatiron building three years ago. They will be opening their studio doors to the public, holding art demonstrations in the green-space area out front and showcasing some of their latest pieces in their collections. “We just want to have something as a Flatiron Building,” Nygren said.

Fort Langley artists Pat Barker (left), Susan Galick and Judy Nygren are hosting their first collaborative art showing on Saturday, Sept. 19 outside their neighbouring studios in the Flatiron Building. “Not necessarily to put us on the map, but just to show that there are three artists among the 11 units. We think it’s great if we could share something together and do a show together.” All three artists feature contemporary paintings with very different styles. Barker is known for her work in acrylic and water colour pencils. A former firefighter, her most recent pieces feature acrylic with plaster and broken
mirrors. She will be working on a commissioned water colour painting during the art show. Galick has a diverse collection of oil paintings that are expressive, bold and bright. She will be displaying recent works of local landscapes, buildings and the west coast. Nygren works mostly in oil and acrylic and has a whimsical style. She will be showing part of her new series of little girls dresses
titled, When I Grow-Up, There Will Be NO Breast Cancer. Also at the event, local jazz musician Dave Quinn of RazzMaJazz will be playing alongside the ladies as they demonstrate their art.

growth, housing activity, auto sales and employment gains this strong, during any previous recession,” says Cooper. Seen as one of the most influential economists in Canada for several decades, Cooper says a provincial sectoral decline is a far cry from a true national recession. “Really what drove the numbers down were the difficulties in the oil patch. For Alberta there is a recession but for Canada as a whole, no. When oil prices were high, Alberta was booming and the Canadian dollar was strong. That hurt exports from the manufacturing sectors in Ontario and Quebec.”
Anyone who says Canada is in a recession isn’t an economist – says leading economist Ottawa, ON – Dr. Sherry Cooper, the chief economist for Dominion Lending Centres and long-time trusted economic commentator across North America, offered some strong opinion to recent reports Canada
is in an economic recession. “Everyone thinks it’s a recession except for economists! Real recessions see widespread contraction, which we simply aren’t seeing across the country. We have never seen consumption
Overall, Cooper remains bullish on the current state of the Canadian economy, “I think we are going to see a significant rebound . . . roughly to 2 1/2 per cent growth for the second half of this year and into next year.” This is a far cry from recent reports of growth forecasts of a much more conservative 1.1 percent growth for the coming year by a survey of 16 economists
Music students win national title First-place wins at local festivals and provincial competitions have crescendoed into national recognition for the AJA Trio. The Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) music students earned a first-place win at the 45th National Music Festival, held in Edmonton Alta. from Aug. 13-15. Langley’s Alexander Chernata on clarinet, Julie Lin on violin and Andrea Pedro on piano also made KPU history as the first group to place first at the festival. Close to six dozen of Canada’s best amateur musicians and groups performed at the annual event, hosted by the Federation of Canadian Music Festivals. The AJA Trio competed in the chamber category. “The AJA Trio news was definitely a music department highlight not just for 2015, but for its history,” said Jane Hayes, KPU’s director of piano studies. “While we have had former students go on to receive prestigious honours, this award is a first for current students.” Earlier this year, the AJA Trio impressed audiences and judges alike at the Kiwanis Fraser Valley International Music Festival, the 2015 Performing Arts BC Festival, and the 61st Annual Young Musicians Competition. “For the Trio, this is the kind of accomplishment they will remember for their whole lives.,” Hayes said. “The dedication and time commitment they’ve made results in beautifulsounding teamwork at the highest level. This really demonstrates the artistic strength of our students.” Chernata is a second-year performance major and Pedro is entering her third year in the same degree program. Lin’s talent earned her a place in the trio as a community member. For more information about KPU’s Department of Music, visit www.kpu.ca/ music.
conducted by Census Economics. But Cooper is basing her forecast on a number of factors, including the rebounding US economy, with US growth revised up to 3.7 percent in the second quarter. “It’s positive for Canada,” says Cooper. “We’ve seen that in the most recent export numbers . . . most of that trade is with US. In addition, despite the five-months of declining GDP this year, Canada’s job growth has been impressive. The 54,400 jump in August brought this year’s increase in full-time jobs to an impressive 174,000. Canadian consumers are buying big-ticket items, with home sales strong yet again last month (outside of Alberta), boosting mortgage activity, and auto sales showing big gains. Housing is likely to slow only modestly in the next year as the Bank of Canada keeps short-term interest rates at record lows and longer-term yields edge only modestly higher.” When it comes to the effect of the federal election, Cooper points
out any change in government creates a market selloff to a certain degree, but says talk of balanced budgets and prudent fiscal policy currently being heard by all three main federal parties will likely stabilize the markets quickly.
Dr. Sherry Cooper “I think we are going to see up to 2 1/2 per cent growth into next year.” Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres

love for Young. “The greatest part about it for me is that every time I play with the Neil Young tribute, I always hear Neil Young stories from people,â€? he said. “They’ve met him, or ‘it was my favouite song when I was young.’ The Neil Young fan base has a real connection with Neil Young.â€? When he isn’t traveling and playing gigs throughout Canada and the Pacific Northwest, Potter plays right at home in Langley. Every Sunday he sets up at the Artful Dodger Pub for open mic night. Potter begins the night with an opening song, then opens the floor to anyone who wants to perform. “A lot of time open mics or open jams can be cliquey, and I’m not,â€? Potter said. “It’s open to anyone and everyone, no matter what you’re doing. If you’ve got the nerve to come up and be a comedian, I love that. And that’s a tougher bracket than music. Funny is funny and not funny is not funny.â€? It’s a show Potter has hosted for years at numerous venues, and it is also one of his favourite ways to experience music. “A guy came to my open mic that I had in Abbotsford. He said to me, ‘can I get up?’â€? Potter recalled. “He said, ‘I’ve only been playing the guitar for three weeks.’ “And I said, ‘hey if you’ve got the nerve and you’re ready to go, three weeks is fine by me.’ “And he got up there and he was looking at his fingers. But the crowd knew exactly what he was doing and was fully behind him. He got up there and did three songs. It was the first time he was ever up on stage. “That’s what I like about it. You see somebody for the first time. They’re shaking and scared, but they go through with it. And that’s what I like to do. Keep it low key and keep it supportive so anybody can get up. â€? ••• Open Mic nights are held every Sunday at 6 p.m. at the Artful Dodger Neighbourhood Pub, 2364 200 St. For more information, visit www. artfuldodgerpub.ca or call 604-533-2050.

Giant goal: Malm eyes roster spot GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r t s
There is no plan B for James Malm. In his eyes, the one and only goal is sticking with the Vancouver Giants for the 2015/16 hockey season. “I haven’t even thought about that,” said the 16-year-old about where he would play should he fail to land a roster spot with the major junior hockey club. “I am just working day-to-day, trying to get better and learn from the older guys on the team.” Malm was a second round pick of the Giants in the 2014 WHL bantam draft and this is the first year he is eligible to play in the league. Malm played the start of his minor hockey with the Langley Minor Hockey Association before switching to the Burnaby Winter Club. And so far, he is showing that he belongs at the highest level of junior hockey in Canada. “First and foremost, he had a tremendous rookie camp — he led in almost every category offensively and carried that right into main camp,” said Giants coach Lorne Molleken. “He is a skilled player who plays extremely well in tight areas or traffic areas. “The physical play through training camp never seemed to bother him. And now that we are playing the exhibition season, he passed the first game with full marks.” Malm, a five-foot-nine, 180-pound forward, scored once in his first preseason game as well and hasn’t looked out of place in a league for 16 to 20-year-olds. “Just stepping on the ice and feeling the speed of the guys, that has probably been my biggest eye-opener so far,” he said, adding it was nice to have one goal under his belt. The Giants have to be down to 25 players by the start of the WHL regular season, which is next week (Sept. 25). Entering this past weekend, Vancouver had 29 players remaining in camp. The team has two preseason contests remaining, including this Friday (Sept. 18) night when the Giants battle the WHL champion Kelowna Rockets at the Langley Events Centre. Malm is slated to suit up in the game in his hometown. “That should be awesome, getting some friends and family out,” he said. Malm is used to lighting up the scoreboard at the LEC, the home rink of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League’s Valley West Hawks. He led the Hawks last season with 20 goals and 66 points in 31 games, finishing second in the league scoring race by one point, despite playing seven few-

After lighting up the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League last season, Langley’s James Malm has his sights set on landing a full-time roster spot with the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants as a 16-year-old. Malm and the Giants play a preseason game on Friday (Sept. 18) against the defending WHL champion Kelowna Rockets at the Langley Events Centre. er games than the winner. Offence has never been a problem for Malm, a gifted playmaker forward. The question is how he will do against older and tougher competition. “Right now we are just watching to see if he can handle the pace of the game and to make sure he is strong enough to play at the Western Hockey League level and to this point, he has done a tremendous job,” Molleken said. This is the coach’s first year behind the Giants bench but he remembers Malm from watching him during bantam leading up to the draft when Molleken was a coach with the Saskatoon Blades. “The puck just seemed to follow him around the ice, so what that tells me is that he puts himself in

proper position all the time to get the back back or put himself in a
position to check a guy to try and get it back,” Molleken recalled. “He is no different than any other younger guy in that he needs to learn how to play away from the puck a little bit.” Malm is confident in whatever role the team needs. “I just want to come in and be an energy guy,” he said.
“Try and put up points, but that is really hard to do at this level, especially as a 16-yearold. “I just want to come in and work my hardest and see where it goes.” He is also hoping to use the experience he gained last month to his advantage. Malm was invited to a Hockey Canada U17 development camp in Calgary, one of several agegroup evaluation camps held at the same time. “It was unbelievable; I just learned so much,” he said. “Talking to some of the guys that played on the world junior team, them talking about their experiences with Hockey Canada, was amazing. “It really prepared me for playing on the Giants so far.”

Perfect start for Stampeders Langley Minor Football’s 12-man Midget Stampeders opened their 2015 season with a convincing 55-0 win against the hometown Raiders in Comox on Sunday. The scoring opened on Langley’s second possession with a 35 yard passing play from starting quarterback Devante Wilson to receiver Colton Dejong. Stampeders second TD was scored on an eight yard run by Victor Belanger. The first quarter ended with Langley leading 14-0. The second quarter was all Stampeders. The play of the game was a 60 yard pass and run by Simon Odong into the Comox end zone.
The first half wound up with the score 41-0. Stampeders continued to dominate in the final half scoring on a 20 yard run in the third quarter and a 7 yard pass in the fourth. Every player on the Stamps performed to expectation. The team left McLeod Athletic Park at 6:30 a.m. and did not return from the Island, until after 10 p.m. in the evening. A long day for these young men. The Stampeders won convincingly. Stamps have a bye next weekend. Their next game is against the North Surrey Bears on Sunday Sept. 27, at 1:45 p.m. at McLeod Stadium.
Mustangs lose, but battle hard The Langley Bantam Mustangs hosted the Victoria Spartans on Sunday at McLeod Park, losing 37-7 in a hard fought battle. Langley’s offence was in tough all game against the blitzing Victoria defence. Adam Rodenstein led the way with 30 yards rushing and Nathan Godard running for 20 yards. Langley quarterback Jaxon Russell completed two passes to Damon Minhas for 40 yards total. Langley’s defence put the Mustangs on the scoreboard with a 65 yard interception for a touchdown by Joshua Fletcher who then converted the
extra point. Langley’s cornerback Wesley Begg also pitched in with an interception of his own. Langley’s defence had many gang tackles with Joe Nickel leading the way with 12 solo tackles, Stryker Roloff with eight and three quarterback sacks, and Ethan Croome with five tackles. Special teams were strong again with Joe Nickel punting seven times for a 35 yard average and Joshua Fletcher averaging 40 yards on three kickoffs. Langley kick returners Minhas, Godard and Rodenstein were busy all game with 75 total return yards.

vide a steady, physical presence on the back end. Campion, from Seaford, New York, is poised for a break out season after posting 30 points in his rookie season. Butcher is in his second stint with the team and is in his fourth season in the BCHL. And Graham, from Bedford, Nova Scotia, had a strong preseason and will likely carry a big load offensively for the team this season after a strong rookie campaign. The new captain was complimentary of the three assistants, “They are all well respected leaders in the dressing room and have eased new players into our culture,” Schneider said. “They are excellent role models and will help hold the group accountable throughout the season.” Langley showed their talent with a win in their season opener against the Surrey Eagles. The Rivermen won the game 6-3 on Friday in Surrey,. On Friday, Surrey came out of the gate flat, and trailed their Langley rivals 4-0 after 20 minutes of play, and though they outscored their opposition 3-2 over the final two frames, the first-period hole proved too big to climb out of. In Friday’s game, Rivermen forward Ben Butcher — who played 11 games for the Eagles last season before being dealt to Langley — scored the first two goals of the game, and Justin Szeto and Matthew Graham also scored before the first intermission. Neither team scored in the second period, and Surrey opened the third with two quick goals — Paul McAvoy scored on the power play just 35 seconds into the period, and Darren Hards scored his first BCHL goal. Surrey’s third goal of the contest also came with the man-advantage, with Darius Davidson potting his first of the year. Langley’s home opener is Sept. 19 versus the Prince George Spruce Kings. Puck drops at 6 p.m. — Files from Black Press reporter Nick Greenizan

two-way puck-moving defenceman.
The way Alec Capstick figures, there will be a chance to move away from home in pursuit of hockey down the road.
Two years ago, the defenceman racked up 21 goals and 62 points in 70 games for the Langley bantam A1 rep Eagles. And last year, playing with the Yale Hockey Academy U18 prep team, he scored eight times with 21 points in 25 games.
“Why move away from home when you don’t have to?” asked the 16-year-old. “This (Langley) just felt like the right place to be. “And it is a feeling of pride to play for your hometown.” Capstick is getting set to embark on his rookie season with the Langley Rivermen. The junior A hockey club began the B.C. Hockey League season on Friday night with a win at South Surrey Arena against the Surrey Eagles. The Rivermen play their home opener at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday night (Sept. 19) when they welcome the Prince George Spruce Kings to town. Capstick had no shortage of suitors lining up for the
And just how much teams think of Capstick becomes abundantly clear when you consider the fact that even before he joined the BCHL — besides a handful of games last year as an affiliate player (AP) — Capstick had already secured a college scholarship. Typically, players spend a bit of time in the league to show the college and university scouts what they have. But Capstick — who is in Grade 11 at Langley Secondary and a straight A student — has already secured his scholarship to Notre Dame, most likely for the 2018/19 season after
graduation. “It’s a big monkey off my back so I can just focus on the hockey season and on the ice,” Capstick said. And he knows it won’t be an easy task, competing against players three years his seniors and the rigors of a full junior schedule, which sometimes includes three games in less than 72 hours. “It is a big step but just something you have to get used to,” he said. He is the youngest and smallest of the Rivermen’s seven defencemen. Capstick is six-foot and 175 pounds while as a unit, the blue-line corps averages six-foot-two and 204 pounds. That doesn’t mean there aren’t expectations for him. “He was a huge get for us,” said Rivermen coach and general manager Bobby Henderson, ticking off his skating ability, hockey intelligence and
