Sweet Stop Brookswood resident Mason Formby, 4, eats a cookie with his mom, acting sergeant Sarah Swallow of the Delta Police department, at the Cedarbrook Bakery on 200 Street. Mason was waiting to greet his mom and the other riders on the 2015 Tour de Valley Team of Cops for Cancer as they rolled through Langley on Tuesday afternoon. The cyclists rode 800 kilometres between Sept. 24 and Oct. 2. See story, page 5. D A N FE R GUS ON Langley Time s
City grapples with discarded needles DOUGLAS PARK AREA RESIDENT FRUSTRATED BY LACK OF ACTION FROM POLICE, COUNCIL MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r
A depository box full of used needles, found discarded beside Douglas Park Elementary School on Sept. 29, has neighbourhood resident John Woodford fed up. “This needs to stop and we the people of this City need to make a moral stand that change needs to happen,” Woodford wrote on his Facebook page, City of Langley BC
Crime Watch 24/7. “The excuse that this is not a criminal act is ridiculous and the Crown, Judges, RCMP and elected officials need to get there [sic] act together.” This was the second bright yellow needle depository box found at the school last month. The first, discovered on Sept. 1, was found on the grass inside the schoolyard, Woodford said.

The second, which appears to be inside a clear plastic container, was found around 10 a.m. on the sidewalk that runs between the elementary school and the water park. The same morning, RCMP and paramedics were called out to an overdose at Douglas Park. Woodward watched the commotion, and said the man was at the corner of the Douglas Park tennis court, not far from
where the depository box was found. He said he also saw students at Douglas Park Elementary outside during recess, watching the scene. RCMP later confirmed the man survived. After living in Langley City for three years, Woodford said he’s tired of the drug use in his neighbourhood. Continued Page 3

Langley crime rate Needle exchange not ‘middle of the pack’ the solution, says majority of council NO SIGNIFICANT INCIDENTS OF VIOLENT CRIME, TOWNSHIP COUNCIL TOLD
CITY MAYOR CALLS FOR PROVINCE TO STEP UP ON MENTAL HEALTH, ADDICTION TREATMENT
D AN FERG U SO N Ti me s Re p o r t e r
The Langleys are in the “middle of the pack” when compared to other Metro municipal crime rates, the officer in charge of the Langley RCMP detachment, Supt. Murray Power, said Monday. Power was responding to questions from Township council after presenting a year-to-date update of criminal activity. Overall, he said, the numbers for Langley Township and Langley City are going down, with some exceptions like mail theft, auto theft and theft from businesses. A review of Langley violent crime incidents by RCMP analysts found “nothing significant … nothing that is serial in nature.” Is it safe to walk the streets of Langley City, is it safe to walk the streets of Langley Township?” Power said. “It is.” Residents are unlikely to be “accosted by a stranger walking down the streets,” Power said. Property theft remains a “frustrating” problem, however, he said. Mail theft in the Langleys is up 90 per cent from the previous year, but Power said the number of incidents has begun to subside as Canada Post replaces community mail boxes with new, sturdier models that are harder to steal from.

The officer in charge of the Langley RCMP detachment, Supt. Murray Power, told Township council that Langley is in the “middle of the pack” when compared to other Metro municipal crime rates. “I have to give some kudos to Canada Post,” Power said. Auto theft is up 34 per cent and theft from autos is up 26 per cent, the result of an “alarming” regional crime wave across the entire Lower Mainland, Power said. “They’re stealing cars to go from community to community to commit crimes.” There has also been a recent spike in business break-and-enters, a trend
that Power thinks isn’t the work of the usual Langley-based suspects. “I have a suspicion that we have visitors,” Power said. Home invasions are down 45 per cent from the previous year and down by 14 per cent over the last five years. “That’s a direct result of law enforcement by police putting certain people away for significant periods of times,” Power said.
“We’ve done more investigative work as citizens than the police have,” he said. Numerous complaints from citizens, including Woodford, had councillor Dave Hall calling for more action during council’s meeting on Sept. 14. Hall made a motion to have staff investigate the pros, cons and best practice harm reduction strategies of needle depositories and exchanges. He suggested looking at programs in cities like Kelowna, where a needle exchange has operated for many years. “Citizens have, on a regular basis, complained or expressed their concerns about leftover needles in a variety of locations around the City,” Hall said. “Should there be an exchange? Should there be some kind of better education?” So far in 2015, there have been 14 calls to the City from members of the public and staff about used needles discarded in parks, washrooms and homeless camps, CAO Francis Cheung told The Times. This comes after the City’s installation of eight depository boxes inside washrooms at Douglas Park, Douglas Recreation Centre and Rotary Centennial Park. They have two more left to install, and plan to add boxes at City Hall and the new Timms Community Centre. The enclosures in which the boxes are placed are also almost impossible to break into, Cheung said. The box found at Douglas Park Elementary on Sept. 29 is not one of the City’s, he confirmed to The Times. Some business have also started to address the issue themselves, Councillor Gayle Martin said. Places like Cascades Casino now have depository boxes in their washrooms. Although the concept of sharps depositories was welcomed by council, a needle exchange was not. “I don’t think an exchange is going to make any difference,” Martin said. “They’re still going to shoot-up in the

Because City staff are already looking into the issue, Hall’s motion was defeated.

Cops for Cancer riders resume their journey after taking a break at the Cedarbrook Bakery on 200 Street. The 2015 Tour de Valley Team of Cops for Cancer rolled through Langley on Tuesday afternoon.
From baking to biking – local Mountie rides for cancer cure LANGLEY’S MARK PETERSE JOINED COLLEAGUES IN 800-KM COPS FOR CANCER TOUR DE VALLEY RIDE He has been baking his way into the hearts and stomachs of Cops for Cancer riders and support staff for many years — fueling them with sandwiches and snacks from his Langley bakery. Cedarbrook Bakery and Deli’s maple bacon doughnuts are said to be a rider favourite. Const. Mark Peterse notes that not too many people can say they have been on both sides of the doughnut counter — as both a bakery owner and police officer. He can add spandex to his list of uniforms, since he embarked on an 800-km bike ride for the 2015 Cops for Cancer — Tour de Valley which ended today (Oct. 2). They rode through Langley on Day 6, Tuesday, Sept. 29 with a stop at Peterse’s bakery in the afternoon. Peterse is riding in memory of Keian Blundell, a six-yearold Langley boy who died of cancer nearly two years ago. Keian’s name is written on Peterse bike as a constant memory of why he is riding. Keian’s parents Chantal and Ryan, along with their youngest son, met with Peterse and the riders on Tuesday to wish them well and thank them for doing what they are doing. Peterse is well acquainted with the
preparation and training involved for the Tour, having trained to do the ride as an Auxiliary Constable with the Langley RCMP in 2013. But a phone call from Depot in Regina one week before the ride changed his plans. Fast forward two years and he is getting his chance to ride as a member of the Surrey RCMP. Growing up, Peterse lost his best friend to cancer. Ever since, he has been committed to raising funds for cancer research and support programs. Juggling the shift work of general duty policing, family life, and bike training isn’t always easy. He credits his fellow riders, support crew, colleagues, family and — most importantly — the kids undergoing cancer

treatments, with helping him keep it all in perspective. “When I am struggling with those early mornings or pushing up a big hill on the bike, I remember the kids undergoing chemo and radiation who don’t complain,” says Peterse. “Seeing their bravery, their resilience – I know I can do this ride to support treatment and a week at Camp Goodtimes to allow
OCTOBER SPECIALS
them to be kids again.” Peterse was joined by 20 other riders, including Langley officers, for the Tour de Valley which ran from Sept. 24 to Oct. 2. In Langley, they stopped at six schools to speak with students. “Mark and the team will visit over 40 schools and make almost 100 stops as ambassadors in the fight against cancer,” explained Allan Mugford, regional director for the Canadian Cancer Society Fraser Valley Region before the ride. “The funds they raise go towards childhood cancer research and Camp Goodtimes, a place kids and families go to smile and connect with others facing the same struggles.” — files from Monique Tamminga

Langley residents will soon get a rare opportunity to help bring an endangered species of great ape back from the brink. The Orangutan Project will launch its official Canadian chapter in Langley at a fundraising evening at the Newlands Golf and Country Club on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 7 to 11 p.m. The night will be hosted by Orangutan Project founder and world leading conservationists, Leif Cocks, who is coming all the way from the jungles of Sumatra. “The orangutan is the second most intelligent animal next to humans,� said Cocks, who has spent more than 20 years working with and caring for orangutans. He spoke to The Times from Los Angeles this week. “They are self-aware, with feelings and compassion. I have taught them sign language and had conversations with them,� he said. Cocks said this is the moment when change can occur and humans can save the sentient beings from extinction. “This is the time in history where we have the opportunity to turn the tides. But to do nothing, they just won’t make it.� There are actually two different colonies of orangutan with
less than two hundred individuals in each. Their population isn’t viable if more of their home is lost to deforestation, he said. The Langley event includes dinner, silent auction, stuffed orangutan toys, prizes and dancing. The Orangutan Project is described as the world’s foremost not-for-profit organization, supporting orangutan conservation, rain forest protection, local community partnerships and the rehabilitation and reintroduction of displaced orangutans to the wild, in order to save the two orangutan species from extinction. After seeing first-hand the horrors of deforestation and encroaching palm oil plantations, several Canadians, including Langley’s Nikko Konyk, decided enough was enough, and Canadians needed a way to help wild orangutans. Since 1985, Sumatra has lost at least half its forest cover. Some of the world’s most threatened species, including tigers and orangutans are being squeezed out of the forests in a sea of palm oil and pulp and paper plantations. The lofty goal of TOP is to manage 40,000 hectares of rain forest for tigers, elephants and orangutans to call home. As
well, two indigenous tribes live in the Sumatran rain forests. “Forests have been taken away from the indigenous people and destroyed to profit a few greedy billionaires,� said Cocks. Saving habitat is the most cost effective way to save orangutans. The cost is $10.11 per hectare. Tickets to the event are $75 and are available online or at Stampede Tack in Cloverdale.

Question
of the week
Do you support 7-Eleven’s proposal to open another store near its existing Langley City location?
Answer online at www.langleytimes.com
During the day, Douglas Park in Langley City is one of the prettiest public spaces imaginable. There is well-tended greenery, a bandstand, elementary school, children’s playground, adult playing fields and community
centre. When the weather is good and the sun is shining, it’s a great place to visit, one that is home to many community events. But after dark it can, sometimes, be a different story. A depository box full of used needles, found discarded beside Douglas Park Elementary School, is the second bright yellow needle depository box found there in a month. There is also the case of a man having a drug overdose at Douglas Park, apparently witnessed by students at Douglas Park Elementary during recess. Langley City council is struggling to find a solution. The City currently takes the pragmatic approach of providing places for addicts to safely dispose of their needles, with eight depository boxes inside washrooms at Douglas Park, Douglas Recreation Centre and Rotary Centennial Park and plans to add boxes at City Hall and the new Timms Community Centre. One councillor thinks the City should consider going a step further and set up a needle exchange, but other members of council have doubts. Another warns addicts are “just going to shoot-up and discard the needles on the ground.” While others agree that a needle exchange won’t solve the central problem of getting addicts off the streets and into treatment, and feel the City should pressure the provincial government to take action. Any decision on the problem has been postponed until city staff have finished a review and reported back to council. While residents wait for that report, they can, perhaps, take some comfort from a just-released RCMP crime analysis that suggests while Douglas park might occasionally be an unpleasant experience, it does not pose a physical threat. According to the officer in charge of the Langley detachment, Supt. Murray Power, the review found it is generally safe to walk the streets of the city, and unlikely that a resident will be “accosted by a stranger.”
Troubling display No matter if you are for or against fighting in hockey, the incident that transpired last week (Sept. 24) at the George Preston Recreation Centre was a disgrace. While tempers may flare on the ice as they do on occasion, the job of a head coach — especially at the junior hockey level — is that of a teacher and mentor, someone to guide the players. That is what makes the alleged actions of Langley Knights head coach John Craighead so troubling. The incident is said to have begun when some members of the Mission City Outlaws were targeting a 16-year-old rookie member of the Knights. The league is made up of players between the ages of 16 and 20, and generally in junior hockey, an older player does not target someone so much younger. But while that may not be acceptable, it also does not excuse what followed. Craighead is alleged to have jumped on the Outlaws bench and physically assaulted both the opposing coach and an out-of-uniform player who was trying to de-escalate the situation. In an emailed statement to the media following the incident, Craighead expressed remorse, saying what occurred was deeply upsetting and not the type of behaviour the Knights wanted to portray. One would hope not. The Pacific Junior Hockey League has done the right thing by suspending Craighead while both they and the Langley RCMP determine exactly what went down that night. Perhaps some time away from the game will serve the coach well.

Mishap by LRT announcement Voters should moonlight was ignores less costly interurban option be able to cast handled well Editor: The Conservatives have re-announced the committed $700 million portion for the proposed Surrey LRT. The total cost of this project will be over $2 billion, yet present passenger flows are below the amount needed to make the operation viable for light rail and it would be fiscally suicidal for SkyTrain expansion. There is another way. Almost five years to the day, the Rail for the Valley group released a study done by Leewood Projects in the UK, proposing a modern LRT solution, that would connect Richmond and downtown Vancouver to Chilliwack, using the former BC Electric interurban route, that would also service Cloverdale, Langley and Abbotsford, for just under $1 billion. The study envisioned the use of TramTrain, a light rail vehicle that can be used as a streetcar or a passenger train, using existing rail tracks. TramTrain was first pioneered in Karlsruhe, Germany in 1992 and has been an outstanding success — so successful that today there are 12 lines; 265 km of route mileage serving 190 stations. The Karlsruhe Stadtbahn has been the model for 16
other TramTrain operations in Europe, Canada and the USA, with many more being planned. By comparison, Vancouver’s proprietary ALRT/ART mini-metro has seen operation in only seven cities, yet it was developed almost a decade and a half earlier. A Fraser Valley TramTrain service to Vancouver and Richmond would give faster travel times than using the proposed LRT and SkyTrain Expo Lines, as well, giving residents in Abbotsford and Chilliwack direct transit service to Vancouver. Using TramTrain in the Fraser Valley would be a win/win situation for both transit customers and the taxpayer and even former TransLink CEO, Tom Prendergast was supportive of the idea. (Which maybe why he was eased out of TransLink by its moribund bureaucracy.) TramTrain is a 21st century innovation by providing more transit to more locations at a cheaper cost than the current transit projects proposed by TransLink. TramTrain puts the transit customer first, which in Vancouver is a novel idea. MALCOLM JOHNSTON,
ballot for PM
Editor: “FPTP” — first past the post — has never made sense to a lot of people. I’m one of them. Why is it necessary for us to have to vote for someone in our local riding to get the person we want in Ottawa? Many of us are in a position where we are forced to vote for someone in our home towns that may not be the best choice for the community, just to try and get our choices for prime minister into office. It’s complete nonsense. Municipal and provincial needs are often quite different from federal needs. In a federal election I would like to vote for the leader of the country, not his or her supporters, who I may or may not agree with or support. This upcoming election is a big one, with many big issues to ponder. Too many people believe that their vote doesn’t count, so they don’t vote. I empathize, it seems futile. The system is flawed, the system is failing. Economics and big business will always carry on in our resource-rich nation. Canada will always be looked to as the voice of reason in today’s Western world, but right now it’s a low whisper that no one can hear, current policies here and abroad have changed our once-favourable position in the world’s eyes. Let’s think about changing the system, let’s fix democracy, let’s get back to making a better world for everyone instead of keeping up with Joneses. Treading water in a toilet is not a success story, we can do better and should. JEFF FELDMAN, ALDERGROVE
RAIL FOR THE VALLEY
Would refugees stay to defend Canada? Editor: As I watch the news I see thousands of Syrian refugees moving across Europe and I see many groups of healthy young men among them. This begs the question, why are these young men not in the Syrian army helping to defend their country? If they are allowed to emigrate to Canada, will they help defend their new home if the need shall ever arise or will
they high-tail it back to Syria? The government sees these refugees as future taxpayers, so they are prepared to overload our health care and welfare systems for future tax income. Before you can tax people they must be employed. At this time we are having a hard time employing our own young people and skilled workers. As the government spends money they
don’t have, all Canadians that worked and paid for our services will lose out as those services are bled dry. Elderly Canadians now have to work two more years to get their pension. Our medical system is on its knees. Canada cannot afford the humanitarian effort as proposed. JOHN WINTER,
Editor: Last Sunday evening (Sept. 27) I made the mistake of going for a walk on our street in search of a vantage point to view the lunar eclipse. It was dark and I tripped on a large rock that was on the side of the road. I face planted into a juniper bush and it was that classic, “ Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” — very embarrassing. Thankfully, I was soon surrounded by helpful neighbours, including an off duty firefighter that lives nearby. He knew the right things to do and I was brought safely home, paramedics arrived discreetly (thank God) they were very friendly and professional and determined I had not suffered any serious injury. My wife and I wish to sincerely thank all involved. We live in a great neighbourhood. Thank you. RON AND BARB BRYSON, FORT LANGLEY
Let justice be done for José Editor: Regarding the case of José Figueroa and the treatment of him and his family, I feel outraged. When a federal court declared he was not a terrorist, and demanded Citizen and Immigration Canada to restart his permanent resident application and Canada Border Services Agency was told to cancel the deportation order against him—nothing was done. When the warrant for his deportation caused him to hole up in a church (as a prisoner), separated from his family—this caused great anxiety and grief for all. What has happened to our country—the land of liberty—that even when a ruling comes from the federal court, nothing is done? Why? And who is responsible for making this family suffer so? I have been proud of my homeland—“the true north, strong and free” and I say: Let justice be done—set the man free. Let him have the opportunity to work and support his family. Let him experience the true democracy, justice and freedom of Canada. FRANCES DUNCAN, SURREY

Green MPs’ mandate to speak for constituents, not for party The Langley Times invited candidates in both the Langley-Aldergrove and Cloverdale-Langley City ridings to identify what they consider to be the top issues facing voters in the Langleys and to explain what they would do to address those concerns. Until Friday, Oct. 16, we will be publishing their answers — alternating ridings — each Wednesday and Friday. The order in which they will appear was selected in a random draw. In this issue, we hear from Simmi Dhillon, Green Party candidate for the riding of Langley-Aldergrove.
C
anadians have lost faith in their government. Somewhere, somehow, the voices of our communities have been muted at a federal level. Be it visible in lack of adequate, meaningful conversations with regard to issues that matter (eg. the proposed twinning of the KM pipeline, senior care, veteran care, universal childcare, etc.) or lack of proper representation of a constituency. Entire communities such as the Kwantlen First Nations and our homeless population are ignored. Peaceful rallies see no presence of our MP. How can such hot-button topics in a community not elicit a response from its MP? It is because MPs have lost touch with their constituents and instead bow to pressure from special interest groups and from their own parties. They speak and move as a group.
How does that represent each unique constituency they represent? The Green Party of Canada is the only party that allows its MPs to speak the mind of their constituents and not that of the party. The mandate of a Green Party MP is to speak for her constituency as a whole and to ensure that residents’ collective voice is heard in Ottawa. An MP works for all equally and not only for those who vote for her. On Oct. 20, we are all one party. That is when the work begins. We need to work together to repeal Bills such as C-51, which will further mute our voices. Bill C-51 was introduced to the country as a bill to fight security threats. Unfortunately, it contained portions that have ramifications on our rights of freedom of speech and peaceful gathering. We are currently a policed state.
The Green Party is the only party prepared to work towards a full repeal of this ignorant bill. We will, of course, look into real threats to our nation and its security and make recommendations for changes that are not packaged into an ominous bill. We will be honest and forthcoming with information so that Canadians can make decisions not having been forced to do so out of fear. We will make moves to have our voices respected again on an international level in matters pertaining to the environment, our treatment of First Nations peoples, quality of life and humanitarianism. We live in the birthplace of British Columbia — let’s lead by example and do better because we know better. It is our job to protect this natural wonder and ensure our waterways, food sources and farmlands are safe. As a community we will work together to ensure pipeline construction does not jeopardize our well-being by way of potential harm to our food and water sources. Buying local and supporting local small and medium businesses is the best way to develop an economy.

If elected, Green Party candidate Simmi Dhillon says she will give voice to local constituents rather than simply toe the party line.

Rolling in the dough MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r
When Langley couple Angela and Lane Albright began selling gluten-free pizza crusts three years ago, everything was made by hand. Using his arm power and a round, flat pan, Lane could press a pizza shell in just two minutes and 38 seconds. “I once put in a 20-hour day, went home and slept for six hours, then came back and worked another 17,” Lane said, as he mopped the floors inside the Gluten Free Chef commercial kitchen in Surrey. “Sixteen-hour days are not uncommon. Very seldom do we work less than 12-hour days.” The gluten-free ingredients make their dough too sticky for commercial processing equipment, so the only option was to do it the old fashioned way. “A lot of the industry was telling us, ‘well just change your dough,’” Angela said. “Add stuff to your dough, ingredients like additives, so you can use traditional equipment. “We tried that, and it changed the quality of the product, and we were getting all of our success in people saying ‘this is amazing’. “We didn’t want to change that.” Angela and Lane knew exactly what kind of machine they needed, only problem was finding a company that sold it. They decided to build it themselves instead. After a couple bottles of wine one night, the couple sketched out their machine on a stack of paper napkins, then proceeded to find a manufacturer. Three months ago they finally received their dream machine.
On a good day, Lane could hand-press up to 120 pizza doughs. Now, their machine can produce 3,000. “We’ve got to make our machinery do what we need it to do to support the dough, not change the dough to support the machinery,” Angela said. “We came at it the other way.” Although neither Angela nor Lane is allergic to gluten, both avoid all food that contains the glue-like wheat-proteins. Devotees to “simple, natural” foods, their passion began eight years ago when one of their twin daughters was diagnosed with a severe gluten allergy. At that time, there were not many gluten-free products available on grocery store shelves, and even fewer that appealed to the taste buds of a three-year-old. Lane said he would send his daughter to school with a sandwich, and everyday when she came back home, everything in her lunch would be gone but the sandwich. Sometimes she would eat the inside of it, but the bread was always left untouched. “We bought probably seven to 10 different loaves, whatever was on the market,” he said. “We were buying every product that was out there. There was nothing that she would eat.” The couple spent thousands of dollars on custom-made menus and advice from nutritionists, but nothing was working. Frustrated, they started testing their own recipes. Beginning with gluten-free pizza shells, they soon realized they had a really good product. They decided to take it to local restaurants to try, and the response was overwhelming. “We’ve had celiacs crying at our

Until recently, Angela and Lane Albright had to make all of their products by hand. Their new custom-made machine that they designed on paper napkins has increased their production level from 60 to 90 doughs per day to 2,000 to 3,000. food booths before,” Angela said. “Still, I get calls. I got two calls in the last two weeks. One was from a lady in Toronto who was out here visiting in a restaurant and ate a pizza. And the other one was from somebody in Kelowna who had tried the bread in another restaurant. “And because it was so good, they asked the servers, ‘what is the brand of this product?’ “And then they took that information and emailed us when they got home and said, ‘can we find this product in our area?’ “It really stands above the crowd in quality.” Angela and Lane now sell an array of products to restaurants, food service companies and select grocery stores, including Nature’s Fare Markets and Moreno’s Market and Deli in Langley. Though they had never considered themselves chefs before — the Albrights used to own a publishing business — they are now very passionate foodies.

“We started doing research on why gluten-free was exploding so much, and what we quickly bumped into was genetic modification and pesticides and the level of chemicals used on our food,” Angela said. “When we started looking into it for our own family, we started seeing that ‘wow, if we’re not using organic rice and the rice is genetically modified, we’re still hurting people. “It’s gluten-free, but they’re still eating stuff that has pesticides on the raw ingredients. “We want to be committed to providing something that doesn’t hurt you, that’s actually a good alternative.” They are also committed to their local community. The Albrights began a buy-onefeed-one campaign, where for every product sold in a grocery store, one is donated to a local food bank. “Rest assured, if you’re gluten intolerant and you’re using the
food bank, you can’t afford to buy gluten-free products,” Lane said. “Then those kids are having to not eat or having to eat food that makes them sick,” Angela added. “I had an accountant tell me, you guys can’t really afford to do that,” she said. “But it’s what drives us, so how can you not do that? It’s about who we are. It’s the foundation of a community.” It’s a healthy shift Angela says many are beginning to make. “People are recognizing that when you have challenging times, it’s your community that supports your business,” she said. “When you’re going through tough times as a community, the only thing that’s going to make you survive is your community. “I feel that there is a shift toward local that is beyond just marketing.” For more on the Gluten Free Chef products, visit www.theglutenfreechef.com.

Third straight year City receives award For the third consecutive year, the City of Langley is being recognized for its ongoing efforts to establish a business-friendly community. The City was presented with the Open for Business award by the B.C. Small Business Roundtable in a ceremony at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) 112th annual convention last week (Sept. 22). The Open for Business Awards recognize innovative local policies, projects and programs that foster growth and success for small businesses in municipalities and First Nations communities. This year’s focus was on small business outreach initiatives. Submissions for the award were received from all eight B.C. economic regions, and the City of Langley was among a group of award winners, which also included the city of Abbotsford, the city of Surrey, the town of Sidney and Tsawwassen First Nations. Award evaluations were based on local measures that make it easier to do business, such as enhancing small-business competitiveness, recognizing the contributions of small businesses to the community, and promoting the principles of the B.C. Small Business Accord. As an incentive to promote an openfor-business culture, the provincial government is also providing $10,000 to each winning community to fund a local, small-business friendly program.

Every year during Fire Prevention Week (FPW), the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) sounds the alarm about keeping our homes and our kids safe from fire. FPW 2015 — October 4–10 — teaches kids the importance of having working smoke alarms in the bedroom. Location matters when it comes to your smoke alarm. Did you know that roughly half of home fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep? That’s the message behind this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!” As a family, complete the Fire Prevention Week Checklist. If all boxes are checked, CONGRATULATIONS. If there are some boxes not checked, work together to help fix the problem.
Fire Prevention Week Checklist Do you have working smoke alarm on every level of your home? Do you have working smoke alarms inside every bedroom? Does a grown-up test your smoke alarms at least once a month? Do you know the sound of your smoke alarms? Are your smoke alarms less than 10 years old? (Look on the back of smoke alarms for the date. If they are more than 10 years old, you need new ones.) Does your family have a home fire escape plan? Do you know two ways out of every room? Does your plan have an outside meeting place? Does your family have a fire drill at least twice a year? Does everyone at home know how to call the fire department once they are outside? Do you get outside and stay outside if the smoke alarm sounds?
Did you know... There are different types of smoke alarms There is a difference between smoke alarms and smoke detectors. A smoke alarm detects smoke and sounds an alarm from the smoke alarm. A smoke detector is part of a fire alarm system that uses a separate fire alarm control unit. Two types of smoke alarms:
• Ionization Alarm — typically more responsive to a flaming fire, such as a pan fire. • Photoelectric Alarm — typically more responsive to a smoldering fire, as may occur where a lighted cigarette is dropped on a sofa. • Combination Alarm — pro-
SMOKE ALARMS
Smoke alarms are a key part of a home fire escape plan. When there is a fire, smoke spreads fast. Working smoke alarms give you early warning so you can
What you need to know • Almost three of five (60%) reported home fire deaths 20072011 resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms • Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in reported home fires by half • In fires considered large enough to activate the smoke alarm: - hardwired alarms operated 93% of the time - battery powered alarms operated only 79% of the time
• When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected , or dead.
Installation
vides both ionization and photoelectric detection. We recommend installation combination alarms, or both types of alarms in the home. Whatever type of smoke alarm you choose, make sure it bears the mark of a recognized testing laboratory.
• Smoke alarms should be installed in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area, and on every level of the home. • For the best protection, smoke alarms should be interconnected, so that when one alarm sounds, they all do. A licensed
get outside quickly. electrician can do an interconnection by using a hard-wired, multiple-station smoke alarms. • Wireless interconnection smoke alarms are also available and can be installed by the homeowner. • Smoke alarms should be installed at least 10 feet from a cooking appliance. Any smoke alarm within 10-20 feet of a stationary or fixed cooking appliance should be photoelectric or must be equipped with a hush feature.
Smoke Alarm Maintenance • Smoke alarms should be tested monthly using the test button. Everyone in the home should know the sound of the alarm. Save and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for testing and maintenance. • Smoke alarms with nonreplaceable (life-long) batteries are designed to remain effective for up to 10 years. If the alarm chirps, warning that the battery is low, replace the entire unit right away. • Replace smoke alarms, including those using 10 year batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they are 10 years old — or sooner if they don’t respond properly when tested. • For smoke alarms with batteries, replace the battery at least once a year. • For people who are deaf or hard of hearing, smoke alarms are available. These alarms use strobe lights to wake the person. Vibration notification appliances, such as pillow or bed shakers are also available and are activated by the smoke alarm.

Protect what you value most. Home fire sprinklers save lives. • Eight out of 10 fire deaths occur in homes • Home fires often happen at night when people are sleeping • A room can become engulfed in smoke and flames in 3 minutes • A fire sprinkler system is your best protection against fire • Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate • Fire sprinklers can contain and extinguish a fire before the fire department arrives

Fire sprinkler systems provide powerful protection from fire. They work automatically and immediately; before a fire spreads. Sprinklers put water right where it is needed, slowing or stopping the flames and poisonous smoke, so people can get out safely. Fire sprinkler systems have been saving lives and protecting property for more than 130 years. Over the past two decades, sprinklers have been specially adapted to simplify installation and use in homes. Today, you can find fire sprinklers in homes of every size
and style. The ideal time to install fire sprinkler systems is during new construction. Many homeowners opt to install, or retrofit, sprinklers when they remodel their homes.
You are at Greatest Danger from Fire at Home According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), nine out of 10 structure fire deaths happen in homes. Many people don’t realize how fast a home fire grows and spreads from room to room. Too often, people think they’ll have plenty of time to get out. Having fire sprinklers installed
at home can save your life if fire strikes. In fact, when fire strikes at home, it can become deadly in as few as three minutes. Most fatal fires take place at night when people are sleeping. A fire sprinkler system is like having a firefighter on duty 24 hours a day. Watch a video that demonstrates how fast a home fire can become deadly at HomeFireSprinkler.org.
A Total System of Safety Sprinkler systems are the ultimate home fire safety technology available today. Experts agree the most comprehensive protection from a home fire is a total system of safety:

Home fire sprinklers can contain and may even extinguish a fire in less time than it would take the fire department to arrive on the scene. Nationwide, more than 4,000 people die in fires each year. Fire sprinklers save lives, reduce property loss and can even help cut homeowner insurance premiums. Installing both smoke alarms and a fire sprinkler system reduces the risk of death in a home fire by 82%, relative to having neither. Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, spraying water directly on the fire. Ninety percent of fires are contained by the operation of just one sprinkler. Nationally, on average, home fire sprinkler systems cost $1.35 per square foot of sprinklered space in new construction.
Fire Sprinklers Reduce Water Damage Fire hoses, on average, use eight-and-a-half times more water than sprinklers do to contain a fire. According to the Scottsdale Report, a 15-year study of fire sprinkler effectiveness, a fire sprinkler uses, on average, 341 gallons of water to control a fire. Firefighters, on average, use 2,935. Reduced water damage is a major source of savings for homeowners.
(continued from page 4)
• Prevention • Early warning (working smoke alarms on every level) • Quick Evacuation (well-planned and practiced home fire drills) • Suppression (fire sprinkler system) Each sprinkler protects an area below, and when heated by fire, activates. Only the sprinkler closest to the fire will activate, spraying water directly on the fire. Sprinklers are linked by a network of piping, typically hidden behind walls and ceilings and usually drawing upon household water sources.
How fire sprinklers work Fire sprinklers protect your home around the clock, automatically. Each sprinkler system is unique to the home where it’s installed. Most fire sprinkler systems are connected to the household water main. If the water supply is from a well or if the water pressure is too low, a pump and storage tank may be needed. Fire sprinklers are linked throughout the home by a network of piping. Most home systems today use strong, noncombustible plastic pipe known as CPVC or PEX . Just like plumbing, sprinkler piping
is typically hidden behind walls and ceilings. In unfinished basements, you may be able to see the piping in the ceiling; and it may be copper rather than plastic. There are several types of fire sprinklers made just for homes. They can be installed on walls or in ceilings. Some sprinklers are concealed by a plate. Home fire sprinklers are much smaller than the types of sprinklers used in commercial properties and use much less water.
Heat Activates a Sprinkler, Not Smoke Each sprinkler has a temperature-sen-
Fire Prevention Week
Over 80% of all fire deaths annually occurred in the home. No other improvement in fire safety strategy has as much documented life safety effectiveness as installed fire sprinklers.

Home fire sprinklers use only a fraction of the water used by fire department hoses. You can see a demonstration here: www.homefiresprinkler. org/index.php/water-usage Home fire sprinkler systems are at least as reliable as home plumbing systems. Modern residential sprinklers are inconspicuous and can be mounted flush with walls or ceilings.
sitive element and is individually activated by heat. Water flows from the sprinkler when the temperature reaches between 135°-165°F. In the vast majority of fires in sprinklered homes, only a single sprinkler will operate. Smoke, cooking vapors or steam cannot cause home fire sprinklers
to activate. Only the high temperature of a fire will operate the sprinkler. Maintenance is a Snap Home fire sprinklers require very little maintenance. It’s essential to keep the water valve turned on, so a simple visual inspection should be done routinely to ensure the valve is open. (Keeping the
valve padlocked in the “on” position is a good idea.) Inspect the pipes and sprinklers occasionally to make sure nothing is obstructing them. Every home sprinkler system should have a water flow test on a regular basis. It’s a simple test that can be done by the homeowner or a fire sprinkler contractor.

Home safety for people with disabilities There’s nothing like being at home, relaxing in a warm bed, enjoying the aroma of a pie coming out of the oven, sharing a laugh with family and friends. But did you know that the majority of fire deaths occur in the home? It’s important to take precautions to provide adequate fire safety for everyone.
Home Fire Sprinklers Home fire sprinklers can contain and may even put out a fire in less time than it would take the fire department to arrive. In choosing an apartment or purchasing a home, look for a residence that has home fire sprinklers.
Smoke Alarms Test your smoke alarm at least once a month by pushing the test button. If you can’t reach the alarm, consider getting alarms that you can test with a flashlight or a television remote. For added safety, interconnect all the smoke alarms so that when one sounds they all sound. This gives everyone more time to escape.
Smoke alarms with non-replaceable (longlife) batteries are designed to remain effective for up to 10 years. They can be helpful for people who have difficulty changing batteries.
People who are deaf or hard of hearing. Smoke alarms and alert devices, called accessories, are available for people who are deaf. Strobe lights throughout the home are activated by smoke alarms and alert people who are deaf are asleep, a high intensity strobe light is required along with a pillow or bed shaker to wake them up and alert them to fire conditions. Smoke alarm alert devices, called accessories, are available for people
who are deaf. Strobe lights throughout the home are activated by smoke alarms and alert people who are deaf to fire conditions. When people who are deaf are asleep, a high intensity strobe light is required along with a pillow or bed shaker to wake them up and alert them to fire conditions. Smoke alarm alert devices, called accessories, are available for people who are hard of hearing. These accessories produce a loud, mixed low-pitched sound. This equipment is activated by the sound of the smoke alarm and is usually installed next to the bed. People who are deaf may find that a pillow or bed shaker is also helpful to wake them.
Escape Planning Include everyone in planning and practicing home fire drills. People with disabilities can provide input on the best methods for them to escape.
Ask the Fire Department to review your escape plan. Some departments have voluntary registries for people who may need extra assistance. If you have a service animal discuss with your fire department plans to evacuate the animal with you. Keep a phone by your bed for emergency calls in case you become trapped and are unable to escape.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a gas. It has no odour. CO gas is poisonous. It can make a person feel sick and can be deadly. In the home, heating and cooking devices that burn fuel can be sources of carbon monoxide
clothes dryer safety V Have your dryer installed and serviced by a professional. V Do not use the dryer without a lint filter. V Make sure you clean the lint filter before or after each load of laundry. Remove lint that has collected around the drum.
V Rigid or flexible metal venting material should be used to sustain proper air flow and drying time.
V Make sure the air exhaust vent pipe is not restricted and the outdoor vent flap will open when the dryer is operating. Once a year, or more often if you notice that it is taking longer than normal for your clothes to dry, clean lint out of the vent pipe or have a dryer lint removal service do it for you.
V Keep dryers in good working order. Gas dryers should be inspected by a qualified professional to make sure that the gas line and connection are intact and free of leaks.
V CO alarms should be installed outside each sleeping area. Install alarms on every level of the home. It is best to use interconnected alarms. When one sounds, all CO alarms in the home sound. VFollow the instructions on the package to properly install the CO alarm. V Test CO alarms at least once a month. V Replace CO alarms according to the instructions on the package. V Know the sounds the CO alarm makes. It will sound if CO is detected. It will make a different sound if the battery is low or if it is time to get a new CO alarm.
V If the battery is low, replace it. VIf the CO alarm sounds, you must get fresh air. Move outdoors, by an open window or near an open door. Make sure everyone in the home gets to fresh air. Call the fire department from a fresh air location. Stay there until help arrives. PREVENT CO POISONING VWhen warming a vehicle, move it out of the garage. Do not run a fueled engine indoors, even if garage doors are open. Make sure the exhaust pipe of a running vehicle is not blocked. Clear snow away. V During and after a snowstorm, make sure vents for the dryer, furnace, stove and
fireplace are clear of snow build-up. V Clear all debris from dryer, furnace, stove, and fireplace vents. V A generator should be used outdoors. Use in a well-ventilated location away from windows, doors, and vent openings. V Gas or charcoal grills can produce CO. Only use them outside. V Have heating equipment and chimneys inspected by a professional every year before cold weather sets in. V Open the damper when using a fireplace for adequate ventilation. V Never use your oven or stove to heat your home.
V Make sure the right plug and outlet are used and that the machine is connected properly.
V Follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and don’t overload your dryer.
V Turn the dryer off if you leave home or when you go to bed.
...and don’t forget Dryers should be properly grounded. Check the outdoor vent flap to make sure it is not covered by snow. Keep the area around your dryer clear of things that can burn, like boxes, cleaning supplies and clothing, etc. Clothes that have come in contact with flammable substances, like gasoline, paint thinner, or similar solvents should be laid outside to dry, then can be washed and dried as usual.
Candle safety tips Candle with Care VBlow out all candles when you leave the room or go to bed. Avoid the use of candles in the bedroom and other areas where people may fall asleep V Keep candles at least 12 inches away from anything that can burn. If you do burn candles, make sure that you... V Use candle holders that are sturdy, and won’t tip over easily V Put candle holders on a sturdy, uncluttered surface. V Light candles carefully. Keep your hair and any
loose clothing away from the flame. V Don’t burn a candle all the way down. Put it out before it gets too close to the holder or container V Never use a candle if oxygen is used in the home. V Have flashlights and battery-powered lighting ready to use during a power outage. Never use candles. Candles and Kids V Never leave a child alone in a room with a burning candle. Keep matches and lighters up high and out of children’s reach in a locked cabinet.

TIPS FOR BUYING “An inspection process begins with a knowing eye— and a sharp pencil.” NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Hiring a home inspector: Avoiding unfortunate surprises By Nicolle Hodges
Two people walk into a house; one sees the issues and the other does not. It may sound like the beginning of a joke, when in reality a proper home inspection is a seri-
ous step in the home buying process that is recommended to involve a Certified Home Inspector and not rely solely on the homebuyer. Technically there are no government regulations that require a home inspection, but the risk is that
if a problem is overlooked, it can end up costing more money down the line. When it comes to home inspections, it’s safe to say that James Dobney of James Dobney Inspections knows what he’s doing. His company has performed tens of thousands of pre-purchase home inspections. He says that he’s seen the industry change from a time when only about 5 percent of homebuyers used a home inspector, to today, when approximately 95 percent of resale homes are inspected prior to purchase. “The thing that has surprised me the most over the past thirty years of inspecting homes is how little most homeowners know about the condition of their homes,” says Dobney. “This, perhaps, can be explained by the fact that the majority of homeowners don’t have the knowledge to determine the condition of many of the systems in their home until they fail. The phrase, ‘out of sight, out of mind,’ may also explain the lack of knowledge of many homeowners.” Dobney implores homeowners to ask themselves when was the last time they went into the crawlspace, attic or onto the roof? Would they be able to identify an existing or potential problem even if they did? While it isn’t practical to hire a home inspector to look at every home you are considering, a comprehensive
checklist can be a significant benefit when looking to prioritize which home to place an offer on. Some inspection companies, including James Dobney Inspections, are willing to send out a checklist to assist homebuyers in their search. “A good checklist will help you narrow the field and increase the odds of finding the home of your dreams,” says Dobney. However the checklist executed by the homeowner is just the first lookover. There are still many benefits to hiring an actual home inspector. According to Dobney, the home inspection should help determine if significant repairs are required, how the condition of the home compares to one of a similar age and design, and what kinds of maintenance should be performed to keep the home functioning properly. “Knowing the condition of the home you are intending to buy is vital in determining whether it is the right home at the right price,” says Dobney. If you want a proper home inspection but are unsure about the cost, consider that typically, the larger, older and more complex the home the higher the fee will be. “The inspection fee for most single-family homes will be in the $400 to $800 range. Be wary of ‘one size fits all’ pricing,” says Dobney.
Dobney’s top 5 tips B Ask questions: What are the inspector’s qualifications? Is the inspector licensed? How long will the inspection take? What kind of report will you receive? In British Columbia, pre-purchase home inspectors are required by law to have a license, which is administered by Consumer Protection BC. When shopping for an inspector your questions should be answered by a knowledgeable person in a timely fashion. C Hiring the company: You should hire an inspection company that encourages you to attend the inspection and is able to schedule it accordingly. By being there you will maximize the benefits of your inspection. D Role of inspector: Your home inspector should never recommend whether or not you should purchase a home. The role of a home inspector is to tell you about the condition of the home not whether it is the right home for you. There could be multiple, significant problems with the house that may already be reflected in the price, or you may be able to renegotiate the price to pay for the required repairs. No house is perfect and anything can be fixed. E The bigger picture: A home inspection is only a piece in the home buying puzzle. The results should be combined with your own diligence. It’s my observation, after thirty years in the home inspection business, that the buyer who works hardest at looking for a house (usually with the assistance of a competent Realtor) makes the best choice. F Unbiased assistance: Use a company that has on-going, complimentary telephone support to answer any technical questions you have about your home for as long as you own it. Your home inspector should not be selling any repair or maintenance services and, as such, should be able to give you an unbiased answer to your question.

Move paying off for Inglis GARY AHUJA Tim es Sports
MARK JANZ EN TWU Ath letics
Sarah Inglis came from Scotland to Langley to resurrect her running career. The 24-year-old masters student was ready to abandon her hopes of running professionally and concentrate on her teaching career instead. Now she could potentially compete at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
TONIGHT’S GAME FRI, OCT 2 I 7:15PM
Fearless. That is how Trinity Western Spartans director of endurance Mark Bomba describes Sarah Inglis. “She is kind of fearless in how she runs,” he explained. “Sarah will take a lot of chances with her running.” So fearless is a fitting description for the 24-year-old. Two years ago, Inglis left all her family and friends — and a full-time teaching job — to come to Langley to give her running career a second chance. Inglis grew up in Falkirk, a town in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. She first tried her hand at highland dancing, a style of competitive dancing developed in the Scottish Highlands. “I tried highland dancing and I was rubbish,” she said with a laugh. “After my first competition, I was like ‘I’m terrible at this.’” So Inglis, along with her brother and sister — they are triplets — joined a local running club. She ran a few races, picking up some first and second place finishes immediately. In high school, she began taking the sport more seriously, and she really took off at the university level. Studying at the University of Edinburgh, Inglis made Great Britain’s national junior team as an 18-year-old for the 2010 IAAF world cross country championships. And while she placed well off the podium — 56th in the world to be exact — the experience whet her appetite for more. Inglis would graduate from university with her teaching degree and began working fulltime as a PE teacher. But athletic success was slipping away. She contemplated quitting the sport, at least as a competitive runner, and just running
FAMILY SKATE WITH THE RIVERMEN SUN, OCT 4 I 3:00PM
socially instead. While Inglis had been in university, she had been in touch with former Trinity Western Spartans coach Laurier Primeau, who offered her an opportunity to come to Langley and join the track and cross-country teams. Primeau had met Inglis through some camps. But finishing her degree was the first goal. “I told him to give me a year and if I was still interested, I would get in touch,” she explained. And she did just that. “You always have those bad races where you question yourself; where it feels like you aren’t improving,” she said. “And I have always wanted to come across to North America and compete. I just thought this was my chance before I got a full-time job. I might as well travel while I still can.” After visiting Langley and the TWU campus and meeting with the Spartan coaches, Inglis liked what she saw and arrived in the fall of 2013. She is completing her masters in education and leadership. “You could tell she was talented, but it was trying to take some things she had done wrong in her training previously and was lacking a little bit and add some components to it,” Bomba said. “We slowly did that and we found out she was pretty darn talented.” Even still, that first year was not without challenges. At the 2013 CIS cross-country championships, Inglis was one of the favourites having won two of the three races heading in. She wound up 29th. Even more disappointing for her was the fact had she placed anywhere in the top 10, the Spartans team would have found the podium. After a few days of self-doubt and disappointment, Inglis was determined to move forward.

The season then switched to track in the spring and she was once again one of the favourites at CIS nationals, this time in the 3000m race. She wound up 11th, more than 30 seconds off her personal best. But it didn’t take long for Inglis to shake off that result as less than 24 hours later, she captured gold in the 1500m race. And that success in the spring of 2014 continued to last fall. Inglis placed fifth at the 2014 CIS cross-country championships, and then at the 2015 CIS track and field championships, she won bronze in the 3000m race. “She is just starting to scrape her potential. Her improvement from the first year to this past year has been pretty outstanding,” Bomba said. And Inglis has had a positive effect on her teammates as well, the coach said. Fiona Benson — who graduated last spring — represented Canada back in August at the IAAF world track and field championships in the 800m event. “I would argue that one of the biggest reasons for Fiona’s breakthrough this year was actually due in a large part to Sarah in what she brings to the table as a training partner,” Bomba said. Inglis loves her teammates and atmosphere they have created. “There is not a day I have to go and run by myself; there is always someone who wants to go. We are competitive, but we also push each other. “That’s what I enjoy the most. The team banter that we have, it is good fun.” Bomba said he has had discussions with Inglis about competing at the 2016 Olympics. Her best bets to qualify for Great Britain would be either the steeplechase or 10,000m, the coach figures.

Quarterback Nick Lacroix connected with Michael Huggins for a pair of touchdown passes while Pablo Wigwigan ran for 112 yards — including a 70-yard score — as the North Langley Bears rolled over the Langley Mustangs 28-0. The two bantam football teams were playing at McLeod Athletic Park on Sunday. Connor Hurley had the other North Langley touchdown. David Wegert added two converts. The defence was dominant in the game as they stymied any Mustang attempt all game long. Jacob Price, Brodie Tarling and Caleb Nielsen led the defensive effort with several key tackles. For the Mustangs, Joe Nickel led the defence with eight solo tackles while Ethan Croome (six) and Stryker Roloff (five) also recording multi-tackle games. Brodie Thomas led the rushing attack while Adam Rodenstein was the leading receiver. ••• A pair of first-half touchdowns were more than enough offence as the North Langley Bears defeated the Abbotsford Falcons 12-0 at Rotary Stadium on Saturday in peewee football action. Quarterback Owen Sieben and Matthieu Gale connected on several passes on the opening drive, capping it off with a 40-yard touchdown. Lance Barker had the other score, running it in from 11 yards out. The second half was a defensive slugfest, with neither team able to generate offence. Troy Edwards also came up with an interception on the final drive to preserve the shutout while on special teams, Ryan Goesen recovered an onside kick. ••• The North Langley Bears junior bantam

Charlie Ward led the rushing attack with 80 yards, while the offensive line created some great running room with centre Nolan MacLeod having an especially strong game. The defence was also solid, with the teams cornerbacks keeping play contained to the inside. Ronil Chand led the team in tackles. ••• Rylan Middleton capped off a nine-drive play with a touchdown run but that would be all the points the North Langley Bears
could muster, falling 32-8 to the Abbotsford Falcons White in atom football at Rotary Stadium on Saturday. Evan Hoy was a force on both sides of the ball with five tackles on defence and 115 yards rushing on offence. The offensive line of Jesse Davison, Alyson Courtney, Lucca Patterson, Ryan Heutink and Rowen Engele had a strong game, creating running lanes for the ball carriers. Markus MacLeod and Aiden McMurtry also had solid games for the defence with three tackles apiece. Lucas Laroche came up with a fumble recovery. ••• The Langley Stampeders led for much of
the game, but a touchdown in the final minute helped the North Surrey Bears prevail 15-14 in midget football at McLeod Athletic Park on Sunday. The Stamps led 13-0 late into the third quarter before the Bears stormed back. Langley’s points were largely from their defence as Kyle Clarot scored on a 42-yard interception return while the Stamps also got six points courtesy of North Surrey conceding safeties. The other single point was off a missed field goal. The Bears other touchdown was off a blocked kick, which they recovered in the end zone. They also scored on a conceded safety.

1 Find the tooth and pick it up by the crown (the white part) – avoid touching the root. If the tooth is dirty, briefly rinse it under cold running water, Dentist for a maximum of 10 seconds. 2 Replant the tooth back into the empty socket (parents, please encourage and help your child to do so). Bite onto a handkerchief to hold the tooth in position. 3 If this is not possible (e.g. patient is unconscious, child is very young), place the tooth into a glass of milk as soon as possible. If you have saline or Hanks Balanced Salt Solution, then it is preferable to store the tooth in these solutions instead. Avoid storage in water! The tooth can also be kept inside the lip or cheek (in saliva) – this is only safe to do so if the patient is conscious and not too young, otherwise the tooth may be accidentally swallowed. 4 Call your dentist for emergency treatment right away. With hockey season and other contact sports in full swing, it’s important to play safe and protect your teeth with a properly fitted sports guard. Dental injuries can be traumatizing, and costly to fix. Our office offers custom mouth guards, which have superior fit, comfort, and protection, because they are specially molded from an impression of your own teeth.

The world indoor lacrosse championships are coming to the Langley Events Centre in 2019. The announcement was made after the closing ceremonies of the 2015 championships. Canada won their fourth consecutive gold medal defeating Iroquis 12-8 on Sunday. The championships were hosted by the Ogondaga Nation in upstate New York. Thirteen teams competed at the 2015 championships. This will be the first time Canada has hosted a major international men’s indoor lacrosse event on the west coast. “Our community has quickly become a ‘lacrosse town’ and we welcome the chance to experience the game at this level,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese. The tournament will be staged in partnership with the Canadian Lacrosse Association and the B.C. Lacrosse Association. “It’s an honour to be able to host Canada and the rest of the world in a sport we are so actively involved in and we look forward to working with our partners, the Canadian Lacrosse Association and the B.C. Lacrosse Association in helping put on a terrific event,” said Jared Harman, the LEC’s director of business development.

Jamie Housch and Matthew Dyck each had a pair of assists. Jordan Naylor allowed four goals in the loss with the Rockets striking for the final two goals nine seconds apart. Game two saw Anderson tally for the second straight game while Jonathan Stein and Jake Mulder had the other goals. Jonathan Rees had a pair of assists. Paul Tucek got the call in net, allowing five goals. The Thunderbirds have a road game on Saturday at Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre against the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs. The teams complete the home-and-home series on Sunday morning as the Thunderbirds play their first home game at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre.

Tyler Tardi and his rink are one step closer to qualifying for the 2016 Tim Hortons B.C. junior curling championships. The rink, which plays out of the Langley Curling Club, took top spot over the weekend at the Anita Cochrance Memorial cashspiel at Royal City Curling Club. They defeated Team Kiss 8-2 in the final. Tardi’s team of third Daniel Wenzek, second Jordan Tardi, lead Nicholas Meister and fifth Sterling Middleton, were dominant throughout the weekend and did not lose a game. The Tardi rink is atop the B.C. Junior Curling Tour standings with four events remaining and the top two automatically qualify for the junior championships at the end of December.

The Fraser Valley Thunderbirds let a 4-1 third-period lead slip away, settling for a 4-4 tie. The Thunderbirds were battling the Okanagan Rockets on Saturday at the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League showcase weekend held at the Richmond Oval. And when the teams stepped on the ice for the rematch on Sunday, the Rockets carried over the momentum from game one to skate away with a 6-3 victory. The game was tied at three in the third period before the Rockets closed things out with three goals in the final 5:38, including an empty-netter. The results leave Fraser Valley with a record of 1-2-1. In the opener, Zac McKee tallied twice while Baxter Anderson and Kyle Davis had the other goals.

Stealth’s McCready named NLL’s top teammate Vancouver Stealth forward Joel McCready was named the inaugural winner of the National Lacrosse League’s Teammate of the Year award. He was announced as the winner on Tuesday at the NLL season awards and Hall of Fame ceremony at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre in Oakville, Ont. “I am just honoured to win this award. To have all the guys that you battle with all the
time vote for you and to even think about you that way means a lot to me,” McCready said. McCready set career highs in goals (30), assists (21) and points (51) in his first season with the Stealth. “Joel is an absolute team leader. He is a fierce competitor on the floor, but in the room he always has a big smile on his face,” said Stealth head coach Dan Perreault.
“He is very well respected within his teammates, the community, and the entire organization.” “My family has always been so supportive of me and I can’t thank them enough for all they have done. Lacrosse wise, I owe a lot to my Grandpa and Uncle Pat (McCready), as they were the ones that taught me how to play the game,” McCready said. “It’s times like this
though, when I think about my little daughter Tenley and my wife Jessica. She holds down the fort while I go out and play, so she is a rock star.”

Thunder’s Jensen steps down The Langley Thunder are in the market for a new head coach. Rod Jensen, who served as head coach of the senior A Western Lacrosse Association squad for the past five seasons, stepped down last week (Thursday). Jensen and his family are taking part in a job exchange in Australia next year. Under Jensen, the Thunder went 47-30-4 and won a pair of WLA titles in 2011 and 2012.
A
He has also coached in the National Lacrosse League and in the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League. “I think sometimes a change can be good and a fresh voice can be beneficial for the Thunder,” Jensen said. “Looking back at my time, I have so many great memories, like winning a couple of championships and playing in two Mann Cups, which was great for Langley.” He also thanked the Buchan
family for the opportunity with the Thunder. “On behalf of the Thunder franchise, we would like to thank Rod for his contributions over the past five seasons,” said Thunder general manager and vice-president Rob Buchan. The Thunder have begun their search for a new head coach. Interested applicants can email Buchan at robbuchan@ shaw.ca.

Getting to BMW’s techno core in the Big Apple Gesture Control, which lets an operator do things like raise audio volume by twirling your finger, take a phone call with a finger point or wave it away with a wrist flick. An operator can also add customized gestures to trigger a function … a couple come to mind!
New York - The all-new 2016 BMW 7 Series is a sixth generation edition of the brand’s big, flagship sedan. The new styling is another evolutionary step and still instantly recognizable as a BMW. Dimensionally this car is the same as the outgoing model, yet it has a radically new and innovative substructure. And the latter, coupled with remarkable onboard technology, is what caught my attention. Today, much is unique to the 7 series but, figuratively speaking, tomorrow it will spread through the range and the day after it will doubtless be coming to a car near you!
Pandering to the non-driving owners is an interesting optional interior first for BMW, a feature called “Executive Lounge”. A feet-up recliner in the right rear seat has a body massage feature and a multi-media experience controlled by a removable touch-screen tablet, which is mounted in a clever docking feature. Got to admit, it was rear seat test drive to savour – and yes, I do love this job!
Today, much is unique to the 7 series but, figuratively speaking, tomorrow it will spread through the range and the day after it will doubtless BMW is pioneering a different way be coming to a car to improve body rigidity and reduce near you!

The new 7 Series, offers a showcase of the very latest technologies that BMW has to offer, combined with Bob McHugh more advanced forms of technologies already available. Sadly, a novel driverless “selfparking” technology (controlled by the key fob and available in Europe) has not (yet) received Canadian regulatory approval. A similar (delayed approval) story also applies to a new adaptive LED headlight option.

weight, explained Dr. Wolfgang Hundt, the Project Manager for Driving Dynamics & Driving Assistance. It uses carbon-fibre (reinforced plastic) in key (core) locations of the structure of the new 7 Series. An indicator of how strongly committed BMW is to the use of this ultra-light yet super-strong material is the expansion work (to triple production output) already in progress at its relatively new Moses Lake (Washington

State) carbon-fibre manufacturing plant. I was most impressed by the balance and poise of the 750i xDrive (with an M-Sport package) on the Monticello Motor Club, in up-state New York. In Sport mode the new 7 is so wonderfully light on its feet that you can very easily forget you’re behind the wheel of a big sedan. This mode drops the standard air suspension an additional 10mm and it seems to firm-up and tighten everything. The difference between Sport and Comfort modes was quite dramatic and there’s a new one “Adaptive”. It matches the vehicle set-up to the driver’s current driving style and a profile of the route ahead, by talking to the navigation system. A redesigned optional Integral Active Steering system can now be offered in conjunction with the xDrive all-wheel drive system. It can turn the rear wheels in the same or an opposing direction as the front wheels to increase manoeuvrability in urban traffic and agility at highway speeds. The extremely rigid body structure is a groundbreaking marriage of steel, aluminum and carbon-fibre (core) members. The end result is a 7 Series with a much lower centre of gravity and close to perfect front/rear weight distribution. The 750i xDrive and 750Li xDrive editions will soon be arriving in Canadian BMW dealer

Life imitates art with new Nissan cars When car manufacturers roll out futuristic designs at big shows, most observers dismiss them as fanciful art projects that will never see the light of a dealership showroom.

The interior design follows the new “Gliding Wing” design language, shared with Murano and also the new Rogue. Central to the new look is the revised C-stack with available 5.0-inch and 7.0-inch displays for the NissanConnectSM with Mobile Apps and available NissanConnect
Navigation with Mobile Apps. In addition, the standard Zero Gravity front seats have been reshaped and the woven cloth seating and door panel materials feature a more open weave pattern. The new Altima SR grade includes blue sport interior accents on the steering wheel, door panels and seats – to contrast the Charcoal interior color. The SR also features a leather-wrapped steering wheel, paddle shifters, and leather-wrapped gear shifter. With the addition of the new SR
model to the 2016 Altima line-up, Nissan is taking dead aim at one of the fastest growing areas of the mid-size sedan segment – sport variants. Among some competitors, the so-called “sport” grades account for nearly 40 percent of total sales. The 2.5-litre engine will remain the standard power plant but a 3.5-litre engine will be available.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS
FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS
We lost our hero on September 13, 2015 at his last carnival location of the season, where he actually started his carnival business over 55 years ago, at the Port Alberni Fall Fair. Bingo (Irvin) was born on Oct. 13, 1926 in Warsaw, Poland. About a year later, he came to Canada with his parents and older sister Elsie, and settled in Brandon, Manitoba. A few years later another sister was born named Ruth. Bingo grew up in Brandon with his mom and sisters. His father passed away of pneumonia at an early age, he was working hard out of town on the railway, while Bingo was very young. Bingo was always doing odd jobs and working as a youngster. Many children dream about running away with the carnival, getting paid to travel around the country. Well, Bingo loved it. He and his buddy Sonny Hazelwood left Brandon and worked for Crescent Shows, Royal American Shows and a little later for Patty Conklin and Conklin shows. No amount of work or loss of sleep could discourage Bingo from marking out his career. By 1948 he had started his own business with a travelling exotic animals show. On May 1, 1949 Bingo married the love of his life Jacqueline Christmas whose parents from Vancouver also travelled on the carnivals with food concessions. They met at the fair in Penticton when Jackie was there selling tickets. Shortly after they welcomed baby Laura in 1951 and then little Bob in 1952. They celebrated their wedding anniversary last May – 66 years! Bingo was very proud of his new family and some of his fondest memories were the years with Simba the lion. He raised him as a pup and could do anything with him. In addition to Simba and four others he had crocodiles, lizards, monkeys, turtles, boa constrictors, rattlesnakes that once got loose in Port Coquitlam, skunks, racoons, badgers and bear cubs. Bingo and Jackie share lots of great stories about the animals. Once the monkey got loose and crawled up inside the motor of a customer's car visiting the fair from a neighbouring town in the prairies a few hours away. He stopped for gas, lifted the hood, jumped with surprise, and called the police. They notified the fair and Bingo picked up the monkey in jail. For years during the Christmas holidays some of the animals were on display in downtown Vancouver at Woodwards and Eatons while they sold cotton candy. Bingo and Jackie never sat idle, selling pots and pans, scrap metal and coal in the winter, too. The travelling animal show slowly lost its appeal with TV and zoo parks being established, so they decided to trade fur for iron as Bingo used to say. They purchased a carousel after moving to Langley in 1957 and they built their first winter quarters that is partially still there today. They soon started to make a full transition into the travelling carnival business. He'd say the carnival never loses its appeal and popularity. His business grew to mega size including travelling to the three western provinces with four units and winter quarters in Chilliwack as well. Bingo was honoured in many ways: President of the Royal Hawaiian Showmens Club, President of the Northwest Showmens Club, inducted into the Outdoor Amusement Business Association Hall of Fame, inducted into the Showmens League of America Chicago Hall of Honour along with its first president Buffalo Bill Cody, lifetime member of the Port Alberni Kinsmen Club, on the board of the B.C. Safety Board for Amusement Devices, on the B.C. Electrical Task Force for the Outdoor Entertainment Business. Bingo was extremely proud of his two children and their spouses Max and Wendy, his six grandchildren: Stephanie and her husband Rino, Rob and wife Tarah, Erin, Jaclyn and husband Darcy, Tina and Alex and seven great grandchildren: Dylan, Mirko, Zachary, Diego, Levi, Kelly and Kessler. The Celebration of Life for Bingo is Friday, Oct. 16 at 2 pm at the Langley Event Centre, 7888 - 200 Street, Langley. In lieu of flowers, you are welcome to donate to the heartandstroke.bc.ca

KEARNEY, Bernard Harold April 19, 1930 - September 24, 2015 Bernard Harold Kearney passed away peacefully at the age of 85. Bernie will be missed and remembered by his loving & devoted wife Val of 62 years, his sons Rick (Janie), Bernie (Dee), daughter Cindie (Kevyn) and grandchildren Michael (Shannon), David, Kelsey and Cara, and great grandchildren Owen and Nathan. In his retirement he loved to garden and do crossword puzzles. No service by request.
Jeffrey, Bernice Our little hero passed away on Wednesday Sept. 23, 2015. She was born in Grandview, Manitoba on March 5, 1931 and miraculously reached the age of 84. She was born with cerebral palsy and was unable to walk or speak. In spite of this she developed a terrific sense of humour, love of travel, love of music, gardening (thanks Joan), and love of people. She managed with tremendous courage and spirit and effort to communicate her wants and needs through body language and the few movements she could make. Nothing could stop her from enjoying life and she did. Bernice lived for 20 years at home then resided at Woodlands and the last 20 years at Hunter Park under the auspices of the Langley Association for Community Living. Bernice was predeceased by her loving Father and Mother Clarence and Lillian Jeffrey, brothers and sisters in law Alton and Verda Jeffrey, Arnold and Merriam Kidd, John and Betty Jeffrey, and brother in law Lawrence Clegg. She is survived by Glenn and Margaret Jeffrey of Windfield B.C. and Verona Clegg of Langley and her many loving cousins. The family would like to thank the following for the years of the best care that could possibly be given: Langley Association for Community Living, Hunter Park and Staff past and present, Dr. Beth Watt, Vinge nurse Brian Robson, Dr. Fagan and Langley Memorial Hospital. A gathering will take place at her home to honor her life. Bon voyage sweety, we will all miss you. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Langley Association for Community living.
