Call for action in wake of deadly crash

A stretch of Willoughby road needs better pedestrian safety, said a neighbour. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A Langley woman who lives near the scene of a fatal crash said something must be done to improve the safety of pedestrians. Teresa Blades spoke to the Langley Township council Monday night, reading a letter from her husband Jim Ingram, a police officer. The couple demanded something be done about major safety concerns for pedestrians along 72nd Avenue from 200th Street to the Surrey border at 196th Street. On Thursday night last week, an elderly couple were hit by a car while trying to cross the road. The 83-year-old man was killed, and the 79-year-old woman was hospitalized. The driver stayed at the scene of the crash, and neither alcohol nor speed appeared to be factors in the collision, police said. Visibility issues with the setting sun may have played a role. Blades was a witness to the

aftermath of the collision. “That was very difficult to see,” she said. That stretch of road has also been an issue for a number of years. Blades pointed out that the road is broken up due to development – some sections have proper sidewalks and are finished,

while others narrow abruptly from four lanes to two, and there are no sidewalks. If the lots have not been developed, there is no sidewalk. She said this forces people to walk on the road in places, and seniors in mobility scooters have to take their chances. Children who live on the south

side of the road routinely jaywalk to get to the school bus pickup and drop off point on the north side of 72nd Avenue, she said. “It’s very narrow, there’s just nowhere to go in this one little section,” Blades said. Blades wants to see a proper pedestrian-controlled crosswalk along the route to keep people safer. She said the road in general needs to be improved for pedestrian safety. There have been a number of incidents in the last few years along that stretch of road, on both the Langley and Surrey side. In November last year, a boy roller blading in the 19500 block was the victim of a hit and run, but fortunately was not seriously injured. In April 2013, a young woman was flung into a ditch from a hit and run. Her boyfriend found her while walking in the same area a short time later. Langley Township councillors voted to ask for a staff report on the situation there. One of the empty properties in the area is about to be developed, which will eliminate one of the sections with no sidewalk, but several others remain.

Emergency response

Man slashed near fast food joint Langley RCMP are investigating after an altercation in a parking lot Tuesday morning. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

One man was taken away by an ambulance with apparent stab wounds Tuesday morning after an expletive-filled fight in a parking lot on 64th Avenue. At about 10:30 a.m., two men got into some kind of fight near the Wendy’s restaurant at 202nd Street. A witness, who asked not to be named, saw part of the altercation and said the two men involved both appeared to be in their 20s, one Caucasian and one black. The white man was yelling at the other man, who was sitting in the passenger seat of a car near the restaurant. The witness said the white man was yelling “You’re dead!” at the other man. The black man got out of

Paramedics loaded a man into an ambulance after an altercation at the corner of 64th Avenue and 202nd Street. the car and a brief scuffle took place. The white man darted back and may have been slashed with a sharp object. The woman driving the car yelled at her passenger to get back in. He got back in the car and they headed to the intersec-

tion at 64th Avenue and 202 Street. The white man followed them, and kicked the car’s door while it waited behind another car at the light. He then pressed his chest against the car window, leaving it smeared with blood.

The car pulled out and around the car in front of it and headed off down 64th Avenue to the west. First responders found the man inside the washroom at the Wendy’s restaurant on the corner, said Cpl. Holly Marks, a spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The man with the stab wound was attended by Langley Township firefighters, and then by paramedics. The victim had suffered a slash to his stomach, and was described as “very uncooperative,” with police. The man did not want to go to the hospital, and police had to arrest him under the Mental Health Act to ensure that he was taken for treatment. He was loaded into an ambulance, but was moving and speaking and did not appear to be seriously injured. The man was released from the hospital after being treated, said Marks. Police interviewed several witnesses after the incident, but there have been no reported arrests in the case.

Firefighters’ new charity event helps many

Langley Township firefighters will be raising money and serving up fun on the farm. Firefighters, families, and a farm are the ingredients for this month’s special day to benefit local charities. On Sept. 14, Krause Berry Farms is hosting a special day to benefit the Township of Langley Firefighters’ Charitable Society (TLFCS), and visitors will be treated to a number of special activities and events. There will be bouncy castles and a dunk tank, firefighters serving Krause’s famous berry

waffles, firefighters competing in a pie eating contest, and country music artist Austin Belle performing at 11:30 a.m. and 2 p.m. All the fun will be available by donation. “We are so lucky to have friends like Krause Berry Farms,” said TLFCS director Bruce Farquhar. “When they heard we were establishing our Charitable Society, they stepped right up and asked what they could do to help. It was their idea to bring a firefighters-themed family day to their farm and market.” “The Krause family and Valley Traffic Services have really helped us get our charitable society off the ground,” said

Farquhar. The aim of the Township of Langley Firefighters’ Charitable Society is to benefit the citizens they protect as firefighters, through local charitable programs and to assist other charities with similar objectives that operate in the best interest of the community. The Township of Langley Firefighters’ Charitable Society is a not-for-profit society registered in the province of British Columbia, in the interest of focusing the fundraising and benevolent activities of the Township of Langley’s firefighters. The event runs from 9:30 a.m.

Development

Fears over Brookswood densification came up in the case of a variance to a single building.

A controversial overpass in Langley opened last week.

Variance denied Mufford overpass opens to traffic by Matthew Claxton

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A development variance in Brookswood briefly reopened debate over the area’s controversial OCP on Monday night. Langley Township council was considering a request to allow landowner Nirmal Kooner to build a house closer to one corner of a sizeable lot on 32nd Avenue than would normally be allowed. Setback rules for that piece of land require houses to be 9.75 metres from the front of the lot and 7.5 metres from the side. Kooner had asked to build a house three metres from the front and 1.5 metres from the side. Several residents, both from the area and the wider neighbourhood, opposed the variance. Colleen Van der Beck, who lives nearby, also objected, worried it would reduce parking on the property and force people to park on the street. Angie Majewski said Kooner was trying to get a jump on the next Brookswood Official Community Plan, and ready his property for subdivision and redevelopment. Others agreed, with Anna R., a frequent speaker on Brookswood issues who refuses to give council her last name, calling it spot zoning. The Township received more than a dozen letters about the variance. Kooner told the council he blamed concerns on the Unelection Langley website, which is a site critical of some councillors and a variety of decisions made over the last term. “I am not looking to develop my property,” Kooner said. However, he admitted he is trying to plan ahead for the next OCP, to site his house so it will fit on a smaller lot. Council rejected the variance. “I think it’s a little bit premature,” said Coun. Steve Ferguson. The council voted seven to two against the variance, with Mayor Jack Froese and Coun. Grant Ward in favour.

The long-awaited Mufford Overpass got its official opening last Thursday, with local, provincial, and federal politicians hailing its completion. The overpass connects Mufford Crescent to Glover Road, over the rail lines. A three-way signalized intersection with Glover Road allows drivers to turn right or left without having to wait for a break in the traffic, as was the case at the old intersection design. It is the final of nine projects that

lion to the overpass, as well as working with the City and Surrey on other nearby overpasses. At the opening, Mayor Jack Froese said the new overpass will improve the way people travel for years to come. The overpass was not built without a great deal of controversy. It was delayed after the first design was rejected by the Agricultural Land Commission for paving over too much farmland. Both that design and the followup drew a considerable amount of criticism from Langley residents who worried about damage to farmland, the environment, and whether it would actually alleviate traffic congestion. • More at langleyadvance.com

The Terry Fox Run is a non-competitive, no entry fee event but donations are welcome. For kids waiting to participate in the annual National School Day Run, the date set for run day is Sept. 24, but teacher job action will determine if the event proceeds or not.

LTA calls for arbitration SPECIAL EVENT

President Gail Chaddock-Costello said local trustees need to be more vocal. by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Langley Teachers’ Association is asking its members and parents of students to lobby for binding arbitration. That includes contacting local school trustees, media and elected representatives. “We believe binding arbitration to be the fairest, fastest way to ensure that schools open and our students are back in class,” said LTA president Gail ChaddockCostello. She said trustees are acutely aware of the impact of government cuts on public education so they should be vocal. “Trustees were not elected to be silent or to conduct themselves as bystanders when effective, fair and reasonable solutions are within reach,” she noted. Classes were set to resume just over a week ago but schools are behind picket lines and the two sides still seem far apart. The BC Teachers Federation is calling for binding arbitration. “It is clear that the government was not serious about negotiations or mediation,” she said. On Monday Education Minister Peter Fassbender rejected the BCTF request, saying “binding arbitration is not in the cards in this dispute, period. When the NDP government settled with the doctors through binding arbitration, it had a huge impact on the budget of the province and on all of us as taxpayers.” Instead the provincial government is

calling on teachers to head back to work while negotiations resume. “But the BCTF is still asking for nearly twice as much as what other public-sector unions have settled for and they are still demanding a $5,000 signing bonus. That’s not affordable and it’s not fair to other unionized employees,” Fassbender said. On Wednesday, a group of labour unions announced it would provide an interest-free loan of up to $8 million for the BCTF.

What are the kids up to?

The Langley Advance asked on social media what local families are doing after more than a week with no school. • Lorraine Baldwin: “Attending Township camps some days, going to neighbours’ houses other days, hanging about at home.” • Guilia Russo Stadnik: “A lot of juggling but we are making it work… friends, grandma, stepdaughter, day camps :) This week alone: M – my twins went to a friend’s as a trade childcare day. T – my twins went to a friend’s home as paid daycare. W – my friend’s kids came to my place as a trade childcare day. T – granny’s so I can work a longer day to make up for my shorter days. F – home with dad and will be dropped off at my work at 11am so he can go to work. They’ll hang out for a while in my lunchroom until I can finish up a shorter work day. Sometimes I have to note where they are each day since it changes constantly...where they are and what time to pick them up ;) My work has been great as long as I make sure my full hours are there over the entire week.” • Simmi Dhillon: “Kumon and he’s not happy about it.” • Julia Ng: “It’s of Lego building. Also lots of getting on each other’s nerves! My 5, 7 & 9 year old boy have spent every day together for 3 months! Minus a couple hours apart last Monday for a play date. I can tell they need their space and time with their peers.”

Spirit of Terry runs on in B.C.

Terry Fox was famously brought up short on his run from the Atlantic to the Pacific across Canada. It wasn’t the vast size of the country that defeated him, but the return of the cancer that had already cost him one leg. Fox was 22 when he died of cancer, his run half-finished. He did live to see his fundraising dream realized – by 1981, his Marathon of Hope had raised more than $23 million, or about $1 for every person living in Canada at that time. Like the Marathon of Hope, which was run largely on a shoestring and the determination of Terry Fox, his family, and his friends, the local Terry Fox Runs held around Canada this weekend are relatively humble affairs. Volunteers will set up a course and the registration tables. We locals will turn up, our states of fitness ranging from “highly athletic” to “couch jockey.” We’ll strap on some running shoes or roller blades and go one, five or 10 kilometres. And everyone drops off a donation on their way through registration, and is grateful if the weather turned out nice. Today, the humble Terry Fox Runs held every year in Fox’s memory have raised more than $650 million for cancer research. Canadians were the first to take on Terry’s legacy, but we have exported it around the world, and thousands of people outside our borders also run annually in his memory. Collectively, we have racked up millions of kilometres, enough to circle the earth endlessly. The annual runners have completed Terry’s Marathon of Hope over and over again, and will do it again next year, and the year after that, and so on. Eventually, there won’t be an annual Terry Fox Run. The volunteers will turn their hands and heads to other pursuits, and the running enthusiasts will have to find other charities for which to jog. Some of us will probably just sleep in on that Sunday. That will be an excellent day. It will be the day that Terry’s dream is realized, and cancer is eradicated. – M.C.

Franklin’s folly not impressive Painful truth

1847, the ships had been stuck in solid ice for two years. Franklin and more than a dozen other men had died. The remaining hundred or so men headed off south over land, hauling their provisions – along with the combs, Matthew Claxton soaps, and a copy of The Vicar of Wakefield. mclaxton@langleyadvance.com It seems that by that time, either they still had serious delusions of being civilized Victorian gentlemen explorers, or the lead poiIt’s always been hard for me to get excited soning was getting to their brains. about the Franklin Expedition as a part of If there was a hero of the expedition, it was Canadian history.

Teachers strike

Thursday, September 11, 2014

Health care

Apology for needed strike Support better home care Dear Editor, I am a teacher and I would like to apologize. I would like to apologize firstly, to all the students who are really looking forward to getting back to school. To you, I say I’m sorry that you can’t be in school right now. Many of you don’t know that before our contract was ripped up you were entitled to smaller classes and more time with resource teachers and support staff. You had a librarian in the library and a counsellor to talk with. You had speech and language help and ESL if needed. I am on strike right now because I know that you need these things to reach your full potential. Secondly, I would like to apologize to the parents of the students. I am truly sorry that this strike is making things difficult for you and your families. I know that you have to find a place for your children to go for $40 a day and that there are not enough daycare spaces available. I appreciate your support and understanding that we are trying to make things better for your child and future children. We are trying to get a government to put back what the Supreme Court has twice told them they stole from our schools.

I would like to apologize to all the CUPE workers and other support workers that put so much of their time and energy into our schools. I am sorry that you are facing financial hardship to support us. Lastly I would like to apologize to Christy Clark and Peter Fassbender. I am sorry that I am making your lives more difficult by requiring you to fund public education properly. It is hard to put money in what could be considered a ‘nonprofit’ organization rather than into ventures that will see a return. I know that you would much prefer privatization because then you could charge for education and begin to make a profit. This, unfortunately, would create a two-tiered education system and again, I am sorry, but I don’t think this benefits the majority of people. I am sorry that it has come to a full strike that has continued on into September. There are too many kids in a classroom. There is not enough support. There are not enough resources. This is not okay with me. Sorry. Meghan Coulter, Langley Teacher

Not a typical union

Dear Editor, The BCTF is a union of educators as the Canadian Medical Association is a union of healers and the Law Association is a union of defenders of our rights. The unions to which the government refers to as comparable are unions working to protect and help the workers in their jobs. Teachers are working for the education of all of us and everyone in all varieties of jobs and professions. Everyone needs an education in the formative years of life to prepare them and our country for the future. Therefore, surely we should recognize the value of education and workable class sizes and put it above budget restrictions and our tax dollar and put the emphasis where it will benefit everyone forever. According to the Canadian Charter of Rights “Every child deserves education” and if this is followed, doesn’t it show the value of the teachers in our system and put them in a separate category from other professions or jobs? Bays Blackhall, Langley [Note: A fuller version of these letters are online at www.langleyadvance.com.]

Dear Editor, With the Canadian Medical Association and premiers from 10 provinces and three territories asking the federal government for more funding for palliative care for the ever increasing number of seniors, we need to ask ourselves who will care for us when we reach the point in our lives where we need palliative care. As the wife/caregiver of my husband who is receiving palliative care in our home, I would like to thank the palliative home care nurses for the help in caring for my spouse. These are the nurses who are on the front lines dealing with patients in their homes at their most vulnerable time in their lives living with pain, uncertainty, and fear. They provide the stability to the patient and caregiver who look to them for guidance dealing with many challenges of nursing a loved one in the home one as well as helping to allay their fears. We were fortunate in receiving this care and are concerned as many patients discharged from hospital have to wait for palliative care. There is a shortage of palliative home care nurses and the aging population need answers to “who will care for me” when I need home care? We need to convey to our government, all health care providers, hospitals, doctors and the community just how much the elderly depend on these nurses and

their visits and/or telephone calls. They bring an understanding of care that is different from being in the hospital. Visiting the patient in home they provide medical care, support, information and overall compassion not only to the patient but to the home caregiver. Fraser Health’s motto is “Home is Best” and we agree, however, there should be more assistance to patients and families by having more home care nurses in the health care system. Providing the support of palliative home care nurses to patients in the home will benefit not only the patient but the hospital and medical care system as well. From data of Interior Health and the BCNU and others in the report “Caring for BC’s Aging Population” (2012) the cost of treating a senior in an acute care bed ranges from $826 to $1,968 per day for residential care, where the cost is approximately $200 per day for home care. This data alone shows that “Home is Best” and without home care nurses and care aides patients are cared for by a family member under stress. At this time all citizens should support the Canadian Medical Association and premiers by contacting their MLAs and MPs, politicians, and bring their voice to the need for the federal government to provide more funding for palliative care and home care nurses.

Business happenings

Plethora of pets at Nufloor What’s in

Store

Roxanne Hooper

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Lets talk about one of my favourite subjects – pets. There are two Langley businesses holding adoption events this weekend, and I want to bring them to your attention – just in case you’re in the market for a new, life-long companion. Nufloors – which is located on the Langley Bypass, across from La-Z-Boy and next to Buns Master – is partnering with the Langley Animal Protection Society and the website tinykittens to host a one-day adoption blitz at their store. Apparently there will be lots of kittens, puppies, and even mature animals looking for forever homes at the store between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Even if you’re only thinking about it right now, stop in for a visit. Sure, this event is a marketing gimmick – if you will – for Nufloor and Stainmaster Corporation to promote a new pet protect carpet. But for me, I’m just glad to see businesses like this stepping up to help find homes for this abandoned and neglected animals in our community. I figure anything that can help bring that to light is worth a mention. “All of the staff at Nufloors are genuinely excited, it should be a big day. LAPS is a very deserving organization,” said Dennis Lundstrom, a member of the Nufloors management team. See you there.

Pets and hockey blended?

Now, speaking of animals and business, the Langley PetSmart store (located a little further west on the Langley Bypass, next to HomeSense) is also holding an adoption blitz this weekend. This one runs Friday to Sunday, Sept. 12 to 14. This year, PetSmart marketers are using hockey to help promote their event. “Fall is here and you know what that means: hockey sesaon is almost back. Whether you cheer loudly for your team every game or simply jump on the bandwagon at the end of the season, it’s a great time to add another teammate to your cheering section.” Since I’m not a hockey fan, this is lost on me. But being a huge animal lover, I can get behind the adoption weekend. “National Adoption Weekend events raise awareness about pet homelessness and help make a positive impact on the issue,” said John DeFranco, president, PetSmart Charities of Canada (www.petsmartcharities.org). Now, that’s something I can get behind.

Scarecrow making 101

Any scarecrow fans out there? Art’s Nursery has introduced a scarecrow contest this year that is expected to attract businesses to get involved and to help raise $2,000 for the Fort Langley Youth Rowing Society. Contenders purchase a scarecrow for $150, decorate it and a five-foot-square plot of land between Sept. 17 and 19, then wait to find out who is the winner. This give businesses a chance to show off their creativity and community spirit. More is at www.artsnursery.com.

Golfers come through for babies A pair of Langley country music stars raised $75,000 to help feed babies at their second annual charity event. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

n autographed Gibson guitar, signed by country msuic superstars Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Toby Keith, and Hunter Hayes, fetched $10,000 during a charity auction in Langley last month. That was just one milestone reached during the second annual Boys of Fall charity golf tournament, hosted by none other than “the boys,” Chad Brownlee and Dallas Smith. The two Langleyites, both country music stars in their own right, conceived of the tournament following their Boys of Fall national tour in 2012. After that, the dynamic duo – as they jokingly call themselves – was searching for ways to make a difference in their community, and the boys made a deci-

sion to support JRfm’s Basics for Babies campaign in its vision of a hunger-free future. The first annual event raised $14,000 and the duo hoped to double that this year. They definitely exceeded those expectations. Mission accomplished, said Smith, astonished they raised $75,000. “We are thankful to everyone who came out to support this great cause,” Smith said. “I am amazed and humbled by how much money was raised at this year’s tournament,” Brownlee added. “Dallas and I are so grateful to all our sponsors, golfers, volunteers, and to everyone who attended. It was an amazing and rewarding day for all of us.” The event saw 144 golfers play 18 holes at The Redwoods Golf Club, then more than 450 people partook of a country feast and live performances by Brownlee and Smith.

There’s so much about Venice that captures interest. Romantic, historical, beautiful. It can be described many ways. Take in one man’s view of Venice at the Muriel Arnason Library Wednesday (Sept. 17) from 7 to 8 p.m. Venice ‘City of Water’, is a visual presentation by award winning Langley photographer John Gordon. Located in northeastern Italy, Venice is a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges. Closely spaced wood piles from Italy’s mainland have been submerged for centuries into compressed clay and support the foundations of Venice’s structures. Only the northern edge of Venice offers road and rail transport, the city remains travelled by foot

Carol Whitlock is described as being fascinated by the drifting, multicoloured, multi-sized creatures and creates pastel paintings as well as Haiku poems about them. In fact, her paintings are featured in her new book Poetry in Motion: Jellyfish Haiku, which will be part of the Sept. 18 presentation of Whitlock’s paintings and Haiku poems.

Family festivities

Fair a chance to visit rural roots An old-fashioned country event is place in Campbell Valley Saturday and Sunday. by Ronda Payne

news@langleyadvance.com

A trip to southern Langley on Saturday or Sunday may just create a feeling of going back in time. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, visitors can experience the Township’s 36th annual Old Fashioned Fall Fair. It’s a yearly country-style celebration complete with food, games, vendors, and plenty of entertainment for the entire family. Admission is free for those six years old and younger, 65 or older, and anyone who dresses in a pioneer costume. For adults without a costume, entrance is $3 and $2 for children aged seven to 13. Special events coordinator with Metro Vancouver, Jeremy Plotkin, noted the event is a way to celebrate nature, heritage, agriculture, and community all in one fun environment. Among many food vendors will be typical fair foods like cotton candy, kettle corn, mini donuts, freshly squeezed lemonade, hot dogs, and burgers. “It will be mostly food trucks and trailers,” said Plotkin, who added

For those who would like to buy fresh food to prepare later at home, Plotkin noted four local farms will be on site selling local produce. “There will be about 50 or 60 vendors,” he added. “We have a strict criteria that we only let people in with things they make themselves.” About a dozen environmental groups will also be on hand to discuss the various projects they are involved in. “We have our pioneer tent to represent what pioneers would have done in the late 1800s,” Plotkin said. Old fashioned games will include classics like the potato sack race, egg and spoon race, and bean bag toss. There will be ribbons for kids. Another game created in the past that will be on site will be horseshoes, with the Cloverdale Horseshoe club providing demonstrations on site. Jugglers, clowns, music and performances will bring the day to life with a special guest performance by Bobs and Lolo. Hands-on entertainment will include a hula hoop workshop, kite making, and Sunday’s cow milking demonstration. “The horse drown wagon rides are always popular,” Plotkin added. The event runs rain or shine and visitors are encouraged to carpool.

Zayne Kirby, two-and-a-half, visited the BC Farm Machinery and Agricultural Museum in Fort Langley on Labour Day Monday, Sept. 1, during the museum’s Old and New Day. The museum had many old and new, or in some cases fairly new, items on display beside each other. Items included tractors, magazines, phones, cameras, books, lamps and many other interesting comparisons.

n late summer/early fall, gardens begin offering gifts that are ours for the taking – all we have to do is recognize them and put them to work. For instance, fallen leaves are one of the most valuable resources a garden can have. Used as a top-dressing on borderline-hardy plants, a thick mulch of fallen leaves can bring some most unlikely things through the winter. Some years ago I was fascinated to talk to a gardener who regularly overwintered pleiones (dwarf ground orchids) under a mulch of fallen leaves. A thickness of one foot (30cm) was needed to get them through. Leaves are also a good weed-suppressing mulch in the vegetable garden. Layered around root vegetables they protect against mild frosts so that carrots,

leeks and beets remain harvestable. But beware: if voles make tunnels in the your soil – don’t mulch. Voles consider root vegetables their private winter pantry. In the compost, leaves make a carbon-rich buffer when they’re layered between thick slices of green nitrogen-rich kitchen waste and weeds. With large leaves it’s best to chop them up first because big leaves act like a roof, preventing the rotting process because air and moisture can’t penetrate below. The easiest answer is to heap leaves on the lawn

and run over them repeatedly with a lawnmower. Do the final run with a catchment bag on the lawnmower. A tidier method is dumping the leaves into a clean garbage bin and shredding them with a weed-whacker. Works well for people with strong muscles. Good temporary leaf storage can be made by making a wire corral in the vegetable garden, dumping leaves in and either putting them in the compost when needed or waiting for freezing and moisture to break them down naturally. An alternative is storing leaves in big, plastic bags until needed. They break down reasonably well since moisture is held inside the bags. The last mowings of the season coincide nicely with the harvest from vegetable gardens. Some gardeners used much of this space for kale, Brussel sprouts and other late-sea-

son cabbages and will use more to plant garlic. But where space remains, those late-season grass clippings are a nutritious gift for the soil where vegetables will grow in spring. Earthworms breed under those moist, warm clippings all winter and make the soil rich and crumbly. Another bonus at this time of year is the opportunity to gather seed and later this fall, or in spring sow it where you would like to have more of the same plant. This is almost a nobrainer with hardy annuals such as Nigella. But almost all plants try to produce seed and scatter it far and wide. This includes many expensive and exotic species such as lilies. You don’t necessarily have to gather seed either, just fragmenting and scattering the seedheads in the site of your choice can be enough. News Flash: The Alpine Garden Club of B.C fall plant sale is noon to 4 p.m. on Sept. 20 in the VanDusen Floral Hall. On offer are a variety of alpine, woodland and other species grown by club members and other small nurseries, and seeds from members various continents.

Bacon jam: thank me later On Cooking

by Chef Dez Chef Dez is a food columnist and culinary instructor in the Fraser Valley. Visit him at www.chefdez.com. Send questions to dez@chefdez.com or to P.O. Box 2674, Abbotsford, B.C. V2T 6R4

Many people sing the praises of bacon, and I am no different. What happens however, when you take that wonderfully complex flavour and turn it into jam? True bliss. Recently I featured this recipe at a local fair and the popularity of this recipe was overwhelming. The best tip I can give you is to use premium bacon from a butcher for best results. This is not a recipe for your “run of the mill” kind. You can still do it with regular bacon, but the results are much better with premium bacon. Also, this recipe is not a place for dried rosemary. Fresh rosemary full of wonderful essential oils is the way to go. Oh, and one last note

on the ingredients, use pure maple syrup. Somebody asked me “what do you put bacon jam on?” Everything. This is awesome on crackers with goat cheese, pizzas, bruscetta, sandwiches, and almost anywhere you would like a sweet and savoury concoction. Enjoy! You can thank me later… Rosemary Maple Bacon Jam The perfect topping for almost any appetizers you may be thinking of offering to your guests, like bruscetta, cheese and crackers, canapés, etc. My favourite is paired with soft, unripened goat cheese (chevre) as the creamy tanginess is the perfect match. 1 pound bacon slices, cut into 1/4 inch pieces 2 medium onions, quartered and sliced thin 6 to 8 garlic cloves, chopped 1 cup black coffee 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup maple syrup 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary Add the bacon pieces to a large heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven. Turn the heat to medium/high

and cook the bacon until almost crisp (browned and cooked, but not crisp), reducing the heat to medium as it starts to turn brown, stirring occasionally, approximately 20 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain. Remove all but one tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan. Turn the heat to medium and stir in the onions to the tablespoon of bacon fat followed by the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until this is softened and slightly browned, about five to seven minutes. Add the coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, vinegar, rosemary, and reserved bacon. Stir to combine and increase the heat to medium/high to bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium/low and simmer uncovered for approximately 90 minutes until it has a jam-like texture. Transfer this mixture to a food processor and pulse a few times until the consistency/texture is what you desire. It will last up to three weeks in your refrigerator. Makes approximately two cups.

Nufloors supporting LAPS! This Saturday, Sept 13th, Nufloors Langley and LAPS (Langley Animal Protection Society) are putting on a special event at the Nufloors Showroom and warehouse on the Bypass. The event “Sit, Stay, and Save” is a one day Pet showing of adoptable pets from LAPS. There will be lots of kittens and puppies to more mature animals all awaiting adoption. Volunteers from LAPS will be on hand to help with any questions. The day is partially sponsored by the Stainmaster Corporation, the makers of Stainmaster “Pet Protect” carpet…. the most revolutionary item of its type.

According to Dennis Lundstrom, a member of the Nufloors management team, the new product is fully warranted against anything your pets can do to stain it…and yes, this does includes #1 and #2. Cleaning and vacuuming is a breeze when it is combined with

the special Stainmaster underlays. A special treat will be the revealing of a carpet we used as a test samples in the home of 13 kittens while they were being potty trained at the headquarters of Tinykittens.com, a local rescue center affiliated with LAPS. Lundstrom commented “This is the best way we can show how well it works…half will be cleaned and half left as is… the demo should be dramatic”. “Want to see some of the testing?… go to www.TinyKittens.com, it’s a very pleasing experience with the live video feed of the kittens”. As support for LAPS and their affiliates Nufloors will be donating $1.00 for every square yard of Pet Protect carpet sold during the month of September. “We are more than pleased to make this offer” Lundstrom commented. “All of the staff at Nufloors are genuinely excited, it should be big day LAPS, a very deserving organization.” Nufloors is located at 20771 Langley Bypass, across from La-Z-boy, next to Buns Master. They are open Saturday from 9:00 – 6:00 with adoption viewing from 10:00 – 4:00. All members of the public are welcome.

The Okanagan Sun are currently the alpha dog of the B.C. Football Conference. The Sun has risen to top spot in the BCFC with a 5-1 record, after downing the visiting Langley Rams 31-10 Saturday at the Apple Bowl in Kelowna. With the loss, the junior Rams fell to 4-2 and are tied with the Kamloops Broncos (also 4-2) for second place in the six-team league. Special teams and defence were the difference for the Sun. Okanagan’s special teams unit was led by Robbie Yochim, who put the Sun on the board with a 50-yard punt return for a touchdown in the first quarter. Brennan Van Nistelrooy followed that up with a 40-yard scamper to the end zone on a fake punt. Defensively, the Sun created seven Rams turnovers, Langley Rams vs. including five interceptions Valley Huskers while twice forcing a turnover on downs.

Tickets: At the door Yochim also had an interception, as did Van Nistelrooy and JT Fernandez. No fewer than five Okanagan players had three solo tackles and Jonas Gering recorded the lone sack. On a bright note, the Rams defence played quite well, limiting Sun quarterback Cam Bedore to just seven completions for 65 yards, and a seven-yard touchdown toss to Lerone Robinson. Okanagan’s Kasey Russell scored his fifth major of the season on a two-yard dive. Langley’s offence was held to 179 yards net offence, including a paltry eight passing yards in the opening half. The Rams utilized three quarterbacks during the game. Starting quarterback Dylan Tucker left the game after just a few series. In limited action, Tucker competed one of his five pass attempts for eight yards. He is currently listed as day to day with wrist and ankle ailments. Jordan McCarty saw the bulk of the action, completing 12 of 23 passes for 144 yards, and one interception. Meanwhile, three of Cecil Belanger’s six attempted passes were intercepted. Daniel English was the Rams’ most productive receiver, making six catches for 92 yards. Langley kicker Steve Thomas was good on one of his two field goal tries. The Rams’ lone major came on defence, when Ethan Schulz grabbed a loose ball and took it back 24 yards to paydirt. “I felt they [the Sun] were the better team, but it was about us as a team not doing the things that were necessary to win, and taking things for granted in terms of our ability, and just taking care of the details,” Rams head coach Jeff Alamolhoda said. The Rams have a golden opportunity to get back into the win column Saturday at McLeod Stadium, where they host the 0-6 Valley Huskers at 7 p.m. – With files from BCFC reporter Ryan Watters

ScotiaMcLeod White Rock Welcomes the

Peewee Bears crown Knights The North Langley Bears bared their teeth during the peewee football team’s home opener Saturday at McLeod Athletic Park. The Bears blanked the Meadow Ridge Gold Knights 24-0. On their first possession, the Bears engineered an eight-play, 60-yard drive. Marcus Stang and Caleb Faust both rushed for first downs before Mathieu Gale took the ball in for six points from the six yard line, on third and goal. During the second quarter, North Langley twice turned the ball over on downs after three plays, but in the second half each of their three possessions ended with touchdowns. It started with the Bears’ longest drive of the day (70 yards), taking seven plays. Twice, quarterback Jaxon Stebbings kept the ball and took off up the right sideline, for 32 and 35 yards, respectively, setting up a first and goal at the three. Two plays later, Jordan Williams went in for the major score. On the Bears’ next possession, Stang steam-rolled up the middle for 11 yards and a first down. Then, Stebbings again rolled right to pass and found space to run, going the distance from midfield for the touchdown. In the fourth quarter, the Bears took the ball at Meadow Ridge 48 when the Knights turned the ball over on downs. On the first play from scrimmage, Mathieu Gale took the hand-off, rounded

the corner, and sprinted down field for the Bears’ fourth and final touchdown of the game. The Bears’ defence contained Meadow Ridge throughout the game, with at least 10 North Langley players registering tackles. The best field position of the game for the Knights came in the waning moments of the first half. Meadow Ridge took the ball at the North Langley 36 after a Bears’ third down fumble, and had moved it to North Langley’s 16 before the clock ran out. The longest Meadow Ridge drive in the game, chewing up 40 yards of real estate, came late in the fourth quarter. However, two key tackles by North Langley’s Brandon Folkerts prevented big gains, and Nicholas Reimer brought down the Knights quarterback at the Bears’ 24 yard line as time expired. – by Andy Faust North Langley atoms The Bears atom team suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Meadow Ridge Gold Knights in week two of the season. The Bears had a slow start, suffering several minor injuries in the first half. Despite the loss, the Bears had bright spots. Keaghan Hurley had a 35 yard run in the second quarter, and rambled for another 15 yards in the third stanza, in addition to several shorter runs. Manny Fotiou added two sacks to his season tally. Ty Gallinger recorded a sack of his own. Annika Key made several key tackles to keep the score close.

Mustangs victorious Langley gave itself some breathing room in the second half by outscoring the host Victoria Spartans 14-0. The Victoria Spartans didn’t go down easily, as the Langley Mustangs found out at Westhills Stadium on Sunday. In Vancouver Mainland Football League bantam division play, the Mustangs clawed to a 7-3 halftime lead before scoring the only 14 points of the second half in a 21-3 victory. The visitors scored the first points on a touchdown by Azuka Okoli. Victoria responded later with a field goal as the teams entered halftime with the Mustangs leading by four points. The Mustangs’ defence, led by Owen Jenkins, held the Spartans scoreless in the third and fourth quarters. The offence, meanwhile, powered by a strong performance from Langley’s offensive linemen, played a solid ball control ground game in the final half, while out-scoring the opposition 14-0. Next up for the Mustangs is a visit to Bill Moore Park on Sunday, Sept. 14, for an afternoon game against the Comox Valley Raiders.

Owen Sieben did double duty, recovering a fumble in the fourth quarter while on defence and, as the team’s quarterback, pushing through tackles for a major in the fourth quarter. – by Julie Fennell North Langley bantams The Bears trounced the Westside Warriors by a 380 count Saturday afternoon in Langley. The Bears made an impact early when Ryan Barthelson raced down field to steal the opening kickoff from the visiting Warriors, and the home side never looked back. Zander Bailey ran for four touchdowns and Jacob Stebbings passed to Andy Hanlen for another to post an impressive 32-0 lead at the half. When Jake Evans pounded across the goal line in the third quarter, leaving a trail of Warriors in his wake, the visitors conceded victory, having not enough healthy players on their bench to resume play. The Bears’ defence, led by Evans and Mason Block, constantly stymied any attempts by the Warriors to move the ball down the field. Bears kicker Charlie May ensured the Warriors consistently started deep in their own end, while also contributing a couple of converts to the score. North Langley Jr. bantams The day belonged to the Ridge Meadows Knights, who tamed the Bears 38-0 on Saturday. There were some highlights for the Bears, all coming in the first half. Cadeyryn Barthelson almost had an interception in the second quarter, however the ball just spilled out before Barthelson hit the ground. Another potential turning point came when Brandon Brynjolfson ran the ball down for touchdown, making it 8-6, however it was called back due to a holding call on the Bears. In the second quarter, Bears quarterback Michael Huggins threw a ball that was touched by three sets of hands before Alex Ronald caught it. The Bears tried to mix it up a little, with a surprise punt by kicker Evan Rees, gaining a few yards. Trevor Paulenz had a nice run up the side to gain yardage in the first quarter. Ethan Bernardin blocked a Knights’ kick in the third quarter, stopping the conversion. North Langley’s defensive line played well in a losing effort, with tackles from Barthelson, Nick Triemstra, Brodie Tarling, Evan Rees, Jacob Ronald, Joey Yeomans, Ben Pascoe, Jude Wessel and Brynjolfson.
