Providing you with the BEST RESULTS and SERVICE in the Industry.

The Bus Co-op is believed to be the first program of its kind in North America by its creators. Officially launched Wednesday, three Langley seniors’ agencies have come together, with the help of Vancity and TransLink, to create an affordable bus-sharing program for seniors. Langley Seniors Resource Society (LSRS), Langley Care Society, and Magnolia Gardens founded The Bus Co-op. Members of the agencies, including Janice McTaggart of LSRS and local dignitaries were on hand for “What’s old is the reveal of new again.” the new bus Jack Froese donated by Translink. “We know first-hand that owning and maintaining a bus can be a huge burden for seniors agencies so why not share our resources? The co-operative model really appealed to us because it is democratic, values-driven and very connected to the community,” McTaggart said. With seniors making up approximately 14 per cent of Langley’s population, and that number growing, the new coop allows seniors’ agencies to become a member of The Bus Coop, book a bus, take a trip, and return the bus. All fuel, insurance and maintenance are covered by the co-op with groups paying just $40 an

sion of the program into Surrey and White Rock in the future. Vancity provided over $165,000 in grants and financing for the program. Andy Broderick, vicepresident of community investment with the credit union was at

the launch event. “This kind of endeavor is a great part of the community,” Broderick said. “We are honoured to be able to enter into a partnership with them [The Bus Co-op].” Broderick noted the fact that the new program is a co-operative made it particularly appealing to Vancity. Langley City Acting Mayor Ted Schaefer noted, “I commend TransLink for their generous donation of the bus. This will provide seniors with additional opportunities to get involved and stay connected.” Seeing sharing as an age-old, and valuable, concept was the message Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese conveyed. “What’s old is new again,” Froese said. “These organizations found a way to share very expensive assets to move our seniors around.” This new program enables seniors’ agencies to ensure Langley seniors have more opportunities to be active.

Police know the identity of the person whose remains were found. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Human remains were found Saturday in the area of a walking spot near the Nicomekl River.

A man out for a walk in the 20700 block of 53A Avenue contacted the RCMP after seeing what he believed to be a human body near the Nicomekl River, according to Sgt. Ravi Pawar. “RCMP Forensic officers and the BC Coroner’s Service attended and with the assistance of the RCMP Dive Team and the Langley City Fire-Rescue Service, retrieved the body,” he said.

The Langley RCMP brought in Fraser Valley Search and Rescue to assist with an evidence based search of the area because of the terrain along the river. “The Langley RCMP has confirmed the identity of the individual however no further details will be released pending notification of next of kin,” Pawar said. The body was later identified, and is a person with no fixed

address, said Cpl. Holly Marks, a spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The death is not considered suspicious, Marks said. A forensic autopsy was expected to be completed sometime early this week. As of the middle of the week, the dead person’s name had not been released, and no cause of death had been disclosed.

Mayoral debates kick off election race

The first debate of the 2014 election season resulted in a few jabs thrown by candidates. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Candidates for mayor in both Langleys faced off Tuesday night in the first debate before the November 15 election. Hosted by the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce at the Langley Golf Centre in Murrayville, the debate saw all six candidates, three from the Township and three from the City, answer questions on transit, drugs and crime, development, and taxes. Some of the most pointed comments of the night came from incumbent Township Mayor Jack Froese and Rick Green, the former mayor Froese defeated in the 2011 election. “In 2011, I entered a mayors office that was fraught with turmoil,” Froese said in his opening remarks. He said he had to rebuild relationships and bring back stable government. He also needled Green towards the end of the debate, after a question about whether the Township should sell public land to keep taxes down. After Green said he would not do that, Froese brought up the property endowment fund Green had proposed early during his term in the mayor’s chair. He said the idea of selling land sounded like Green’s idea. “I guess we don’t let the truth get in the way of a good story,” Green shot back, defending the plan as being about protecting and developing assets for the taxpayer. “It’s not about selling land,” he said. Serena Oh, the third Township candidate, often wandered off topic when answering questions, talking about global warming, job training, or deforestation. On a question about Brookswood development, she talked about bringing sewage systems and

Willoughby in my opinion is out of control,” said Green. “I’m not suggesting a moratorium,” he said. But he said the Township needs to exert more control over the development process. Froese said rapid urbanization is a challenge, but that Metro Vancouver is going to absorb about one million people, 100,000 of them coming to the Township over the next 20 years. “We are learning and building better and better communities,” said Froese. He also pointed to the number of new school spaces opened in recent years, as two elementary schools and a middle school have opened in Willoughby. Oh said that there is a need for more secondary suites in the area, including some for people with larger families. Secondary suites are already legal in the Township for single-family houses. The next debates will be an all-candidates meeting for City mayoral and council candidates on Thursday, Oct. 17 at the Cascades Casino at 7 p.m. A Township candidates forum hosted by firefighters will be held Friday, Oct. 18 at the Willoughby Hall at 7 p.m. • More at www.langleyadvance.com

Q: I’m thinking of selling my versus getting further penetration in business in 2-5 years. What should I be Canada, for example. considering now to make the most of The next question to consider is: where the sale? are you in your business cycle? If you ride a A: First of all, it’s great to hear that you are giving yourself a 2-5 year time horizon to sell your business. Too often, business owners come to us and say, “Hi, I have a letter of intent, and I’d like to see you about structuring the sale.” Little do they realize much more could have been netted if they had spent the last few years properly planning the succession or sale of their business. Planning can make a difference—literally tens of millions of dollars. When we work with business owners planning to sell their business, we help them answer this important question: what can you do today to make your business more valuable when you sell? To start off, look at is your company’s strategic positioning – in other words, how you fit into your market. You need to consider who might be an attractive buyer for your business and why. Then, as you move forward in your business, you want to make investments that will make your company more attractive to those potential buyers.

To illustrate this point, say you plan to invest $2 million dollars in a sales and marketing program to enter the U.S. market. In that case, you would need to make sure that most of your potential strategic buyers would want that growth,

Also, are you part of the deal? When you exit the business, is the buyer going to be comfortable that clients are going to stay with the business, or is there a risk of losing revenues and profitability? It’s also essential to understand the tax implications of a potential sale. As advisors, we can analyze the types of assets you have, and what sort of inherent tax liabilities may result from a disposition of the business to a third party. Lastly, be sure that you understand where you make your money. It may sound rudimentary, but it’s amazing the number of companies that don’t truly understand where their money comes from. Figure out where you’re earning your margins, reduce your energies on things that aren’t generating sufficient profit, and make those last few years really count.

Make time for recycling at home, work and on-the-go. By Scott Fraser President & CEO of Encorp Pacific (Canada)

very year in BC about one billion beverage containers are returned and recycled. What does one billion containers look like? Think instead about a mid-sized car. One billion beverage containers is the equivalent weight of 64,000 mid-sized cars. One billion containers recycled are like 64,000 cars not going to the dump. Every year. But it’s not the one billion containers that get recycled that we’re focused on, it’s the 250 million that still end up in the dump. We would love to track them down and recycle them, too. In order to accomplish that, we do a lot of research including segmenting people by their recycling behaviour. A key segment that we focus on has been identified as on-the-go discarders. They make up 18 percent of British Columbians but generate almost 40 percent of the discarded containers. On-the-go discarders are important because even people who recycle 92 percent of the time at home only recycle 41 percent of the time when they are away from home, whether shopping, out for a walk, at events, or at work. They do this even though they know it’s wrong. When people are away from home they tend throw things into the first receptacle they see, and it’s usually a garbage can. That’s not

People who recycle 92 percent of the time at home only recycle 41 percent of the time when they are away from home just true on the street. Think about a typical office: there is probably a blue box for paper, but what happens to beverage containers when there isn’t a recycling bin specifically for them? They probably end up in the garbage can. Obviously, then, we need to engage people in public spaces, and we do that with some success. In malls, arenas, restaurants, and nightclubs, containers generally get recycled because the large volumes justify collecting them, whether it’s the owner taking them back,

a commercial collector picking them up, or staff taking them to make some extra money. In the outdoors, we have a program to put beverage-container collection bins next to garbage cans in urban streetscapes developed in partnership with the City of Vancouver. This urban interception program is now rolling out to Port Alberni, Agassiz, Port Moody, Kelowna, and beyond. But offices remain a challenge. Our research suggests that a significant portion of beverage containers in the trash come from small businesses and offices. A couple of containers each day in a small office doesn’t seem like much, but multiply that by over 150,000 small businesses and offices across BC and you’ll get a big number. We need to intercept people before they trash their containers, and businesses can play a role. If you own or work in a small business, put a beverage container recycling bin in your lunch room and let your staff, or the cleaning staff, take them.

Gibbs Hudyma, three-and-a-half, checked out just one of the giant pumpkins at Aldor Acres on Saturday. Gibbs and his family, from Prince George, were visiting relatives in the area and decided to spend part of their weekend at the Glen Valley farm, where the third annual Giant Pumpkin Weigh-Off was taking place. Growers from across the Lower Mainland converged on Aldor Acres with their giant pumpkins to find out who grew the biggest gourd. The winner was South Langley resident Scott Carley, whose entry weighed a whopping 1,177 pounds. Carley was featured in the Oct. 9 Langley Advance [Pampering makes pumpkins plump]. Heading into the event, the heaviest pumpkin weighed on the farm was in 2012, tipping the scales at 1,044 pounds.

Gamers reflect larger society

The vile spectre of the Montreal Massacre was raised again this week as an unknown would-be terrorist threatened a mass murder of feminists in Utah. The threats were against Anita Sarkeesian, a Toronto-born cultural critic who was planning to speak at Utah State University. She had to withdraw after local police couldn’t guarantee her safety due to local concealed weapon carry laws. The pathetic goon who caused all this actually signed his letter with the name of Marc Lepine, the mass murderer who killed 14 women at a Montreal University in 1989. What did Sarkeesian do to so enrage some anonymous halfwit? She critiques video games. Sarkeesian has been the target of an endless flow of rape and death threats over the last few years because of her articles and online videos pointing out that in many games, women exist only as damsels in distress, scantily clad background decoration, or simply to be killed off and avenged by the male characters. The cretins behind these campaigns against Sarkeesian and others have recently rallied behind the label GamerGate, claiming that they are standing up for, of all things, integrity in game reviewing and journalism. In practice, typing #GamerGate into Twitter will summon a legion of misogynist trolls out of the ether. The GamerGate troops have managed to harass several women, including Sarkeesian and game developers, into leaving their homes. Their addresses and names of family members were publicized, along with graphic threats to kill them. If all this sounds incredibly juvenile – sad man-children afraid of icky girls – that’s because it is. But it’s also something that virtually every woman who writes online about games, comics, sci-fi, sports, or almost any other allegedly male sphere of culture has to deal with. This isn’t a problem with games, it’s a problem with society. Those of us who oppose this vile behaviour are in the majority, and we should stand up together to oppose the trolls and support their targets. – M.C.

Lagoon promises offer little trust

Dear Editor, I encourage those interested in the future of Brydon Lagoon to not become too optimistic about results. In 1992 when the 51B Avenue bridge was built, significant meadowland was lost, and along with it many species that had previously made the meadow their home. The environmental impact assessment by Envirowest acknowledged that “fish and wildlife habitat would be eliminated.” There were numerous mitigation measures to be taken during construction to minimize loss

of amphibians and other wildlife. And there would be compensation for those habitats impacted. At the Environmental Impact Assessment Meeting on July 9, 1991, Mark Adams of Envirowest proposed “wildlife viewing platforms… strategically placed… in direct consultation with the City of Langley staff, personnel from the Wildlife Watch Program of B.C. Environment, teachers from Blacklock Elementary School, and members of the Langley Field Naturalists.” It all sounded wonderful, and we were led to believe

Election 2014

Put history on campaign trail

Dear Editor, I hope we will see more attention directed towards protecting and preserving Langley’s history through this election. It seems that, so far, previous councils and many current contenders intend to strip Langley of its past and rebrand it into some new, unrecognizable form, all with the intention of enticing future residents and developers. It doesn’t seem like much, if any, focus or respect has been given towards the people who live here now, many of whom have been here for multiple generations and have been a part of building Langley from the beginning. Langley is an amazing place to live, and has been for decades. Hopefully, we can find a candidate to vote for who will look towards building on what we have now, instead of allowing things to deteriorate to the point that they need to be torn down and recreated. Emily Whaley, Langley

that what we would receive in exchange would far outweigh what we had lost. I have yet to see a viewing platform or interpretive sign or, for that matter, wildlife in the area, except a few hopeful ducks. Gone are the long list of fish, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, and birds mentioned in Envirowest’s report, although there is the occasional sighting of a red wing, blue heron, or garter snake. In 2006, the area had become so overgrown that one of the ponds had completely disappeared (it briefly reappears during winter months), and the second pond was rapidly filling up with cattails. City staff agreed, and said they would have to apply to the Department of Fisheries and Ministry of Environment, and if the work was approved, it would be in August (2007). I have mentioned this again and received the same polite response: they are looking into it, it will be considered at budget time – and on it goes. It is becoming too late for the ponds around 51B, but perhaps not for Brydon Lagoon. Kory Swaele, City of Langley

The Reid Block in downtown Fort Langley officially opened on Oct. 9. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A time capsule will contain the history of the site now dubbed the Reid Block in downtown Fort Langley, the site’s developer announced Thursday. Mark van der Zalm said it was only fitting that the new development, a twostorey mixture of storefronts and four upstairs condo apartments, should be named after the family that stamped their history on the site. Present to cut the ribbon for the site were four members of the Reid family – Helen, Bernice, Don, and Jim. Don’s father Charlie started the family business there as a blacksmith’s shop and garage around 1910 or 1912. He kept operating the site for decades, with his son Don taking over completely once Charlie passed away. Don retired and closed the shop in the

The buildings saw a variety of uses until the new developers proposed a new building on the site, located at the corner of Church Street and Mavis Avenue. Van der Zalm said the time capsule will be installed under a plaque in front of the main entrance to the building, and is to be opened on Oct. 8, 2064, 50 years from the date of the building’s opening. It will contain copies of the Reid Garage bill book and business licenses, of the building permit for the new structure, a photo of Bedford Channel taken

from the Jacob Haldi Bridge, and front pages from the week’s Langley Advance and Langley Times. It will also contain a flash drive full of documents contributed by Langley Township. Mayor Jack Froese joked about whether anyone will have a device that can read the drive in 50 years. One of the new businesses to open in the Reid Block is the Blacksmith Bakery, named after the site’s original function. Four Reid family members, along with Froese, cut the ribbon to mark the opening of the building.

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

Credit unions talk merger

Westminster Savings and Prospera Credit Union are talking about joining forces. The two credit unions, with some strong Langley ties, are contemplating a merger, said Westminster president and CEO Gavin Toy. “We believe a merger with Prospera would be very beneficial for our members, employees, and the communities we serve,” Toy said. Over the next few months, Westminster will be carrying out detailed research and due diligence. If the merger goes ahead, Westminster with its 12 branches and Prospera with its 16 branches, will seek member approval next spring. Information available at www.prospera.ca and wscu.com/info.

Is it a recognized food group?

I received word the other day that the 7-Eleven Slurpee’s new Name Your Price Day on Sept. 19 raised more than $100,000 for the hungry. Slurpee fans from B.C. to Ontario showed their generosity, with 100 per cent of all the money donated from Slurpee sales going to Food Banks Canada. This is expected to become an annual fundraiser, said vice president and general manager Raj Kapoor. The equivalent of 600,000 meals was raised as a result of 7-Eleven’s $108,000 donations to Food Banks Canada. The $108,000 donation is equal to providing 20,000 Canadians one month’s worth of dinner. “We’ve seen the power of Slurpee fans before and so we were confident that our fans would deliver on this community initiative,” Kapoor said. “Once again, true to form, Slurpee fans demonstrated their commitment to a worthwhile cause. We’d like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal customers for being so generous and for making it such a fun and exciting day.”

Coast Capital Savings presented Madison Guy with a $2,000 scholarhip. they’re passionate about and achieve their goals,” she added, thanking Coast Capital for the award. In addition to the Coast Capital’s 10 Citizen awards, 25 other students received Standing Tall awards. More than 500 B.C. students applied for the 35 scholarships.

More food for thought

Speaking of food-oriented businesses stepping up to help feed the hungry, Boston Pizza hosted a familyfriendly pub night fundraiser. Proceeds from the seven Fraser Valley pub nights – which included an Oct. 8 event at the Walnut Grove restaurant – benefit the Envision Financial’s Full Cupboard community program. The Full Cupboard program was developed with the intention of raising food, funds, and awareness for food banks throughout the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, and Kitimat. “We’re proud of the long history that Envision Financial and our employees have of supporting the local food banks in our communities,” said Susan Byrom, Envision’s community investment manager. “We’re excited to be partnering with Boston Pizza to continue to raise awareness and funds for these important community organizations.” She added that during the past few years, the number of people using food banks in B.C. has risen, “so we’re happy to do our part to give back and help those in need.” The Langley fundraiser sold out. Stay tuned for how much this first-time partnership created and what’s ahead.

Scholarship

Speaking of credit unions, Coast Capital Savings has awarded two Langley students with education awards. While one of the two local recipients refused to be identified in the media, the other scholarship winner was Langley’s Madison Guy, who earned $2,000 to help towards her education. The aspiring high school teacher is one of 10 recipients of this year’s Coast Citizen awards, honoured for her volunteer work coaching soccer and engaging in the UBC women’s soccer team to assist the Vancouver Street Soccer League – a non-profit organization that helps people overcome difficult conditions such as homelessness and drug addiction through soccer. She plans to study economics at UBC this fall. “As a child, I was given many opportunities to find what I was passionate about, and it was really engrained in me to pursue my dreams,” Guy said. “I think that becoming a teacher, as well as continuing to coach soccer, will allow me to help children find what

Langley Players show all about party people

Comedy and cocktails are served up in this new fall production. by Roxanne Hooper

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

here are definite ups and downs when bringing an 11-cast comedy to the stage for all to see, and Dave Williams confesses Cocktails at Pam’s has had its challenges. Despite some obstacles that have arisen since casting in mid-August, the 64-year-old drama club president and first-time director said he is excited to raise the curtain on this Stewart Lemoine play starting tonight at Langley Playhouse. The cast size alone would expectedly be a hurdle, said the retired Walnut Grove educator. “Large casts are interesting to work with, however difficulty is not a factor of size but a factor of personalities,” or so Williams learned. “The actors were a great fit of personalities, they worked well together and seemed to form a cohesive group rather than a collection of 11 individuals,” he said. “Turns out a big cast in a small theatre – for a cocktail party – it’s exactly what you need.” That said, working with a cast of 11 was not without its difficulties. Williams has been working on and off stage with the Langley Players since 2007, lured in by his daughter Joanna and wife Arleen’s involvement and primarily taking on a lot of behind the scene roles such as set design and construction. Despite his experience, this is his first turn at the helm and trying to track each actor at all times proved harder than he expected. “There is simply too much to watch at any one time,” he said. And while this isn’t the largest cast ever for

Walnut Grove’s Joy Cinnamon (left) plays the hostess Pam Cochrane in the Langley Player’s production of Cocktails at Pam’s. The play opens tonight (Thursday), and during a recent dress rehearsal she was running through lines with fellow actors Pat McDermott of Abbotsford, TU MacPherson of Maple Ridge, Philip Hale of Langley, Andy Wood of Cloverdale, Elyse Raible of Surrey, and Liz Lower of Langley. Langley Players, it certainly is one of the biggest and in Williams’ view, one of the funniest. He recounted when veteran actor Philip Hale (who plays Leon Bandelier) suddenly appeared on stage wearing a wig as a beard, then later that same day appeared with the same wig atop his head.

“The rest of the cast carried on as if this was quite normal,” Williams recounted. For him, it was one of the funniest moments of the show thus far, and that image comes back to him frequently during rehearses. While this is a comical production, it has not been without its moments of

panic, as well. No director – regardless of how much experience he or she may have – can really be prepared for the sense of dread that rocked the Cocktails cast on Sept. 10. Lisa Marie Bresett, the actor playing Cynthia Dallas in the Stewart Lemoine comedy, hadn’t shown up for rehearsal.

That was very out of character for her. “A phone call was made to her home and it was confirmed that she had left for rehearsal,” Williams said. But she never showed. “The next morning we learned that she had been in a car accident on her way to rehearsal and was in the hospital.”

Walnut Grove resident Dave Williams tackled his first time as director in Cocktails at Pam’s, a play opening on Oct. 16 and running to Nov. 15 at the Langley Playhouse. He also helped design and construct a set depicting a hip and modern Ontario home in the mid1960s.

Fortunately, he clarified, she was okay. Nothing too serious. Her injuries, however, knocked her out of commission for a while. She had to bow out of the production. A month before the play was set to open, Williams and producer Mary Renvall set about recasting the role. Fortunately, the director said, Emily Gingera was able to step into the role and ensure the production could proceed. Despite some turbulence, Williams is convinced this play will take off and be popular with new and existing theatergoers. “When I saw the B.C. premiere of Cocktails at Pam’s last fall, I felt that the play would be a good fit for Langley Players. It is a true ensemble piece, involving many actors. It represents a situation where we have all been – although slightly exaggerated,” Williams said. Cocktails at Pam’s opens tonight (Oct. 16), and runs Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m., until Nov. 15 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200th Street in Brookswood. Tickets are $15 and are available by emailing reservations@langleyplayers. com or by calling 604-5347469.

Then the likes of Janis Joplin, Liza Minelli and Madonna will entertain during the evening. And it’s all courtesy of one talented woman. Impersonator Tracey Bell performs at the fundraising gala which takes place at the Cascades Casino starting at 6 p.m. This year Langley Hospice and Langley Lodge have chosen a Silver Screen theme, and people are invited to dress up as movie stars for the evening. They’ll be rubbing shoulders with some celebrities Bell is bringing. “I will be impersonating Marilyn Monroe early in the evening; greeting people, mingling and posing for pictures,” she said. “The show is after dinner. It will be interactive and

I improvise as each of the characters.” The after dinner entertainment will include Joplin, Minelli, Madonna, Tina Turney and Dolly Parton. Celine Dion gets everyone laughing and Cher offers up a number. “I will make a surprise appearance during the live auction, after my show,” Bell added. Much of Bell’s show involves improvisation and audience participation, including a women’s chorus line and the chance for someone to be Sonny

Bono to her Cher. “One of the great things about the Silver Screen Gala is that the guests will be dressing up as movie stars, so they will be the ones modifying the performance,” she said. “Audience participation is a big part of my show. The guests will be co-stars in the show.” The dinner gala also inlcudes special guest emcee Carmen Ruiz Laza of Carmen TV, and live and silent auctions. Up for grabs are things such as a two night stay at

Tigh-Na Mara Resort in Parksville, or two tickets with Harbour Air. This event is a partnership between the Langley Hospice Society and the Langley Care Foundation to raise funds and awareness for these two local organizations. The care foundation is the auxiliary for Langley Lodge. Hallowville Manor in Langley is donating back all monies earned from costume rentals for the gala. The shop is at 20568 56th Ave. and can be reached at 604-503-9556. The VIP tickets include a glass of champagne with passed hors d’oeuvres, a bottle of wine per couple, a three-course dinner and a special VIP Silver Screen Swag Bag at each place setting. Regular tickets receive a glass of champagne with passed hors d’oeuvres, a bottle of red and white wine at each table, a three-course dinner and Silver Screen swag bag at each place setting.

History

WIN A FULL CLOSET MAKEOVER

Langley’s war explored Specific to Langley, a current exhibit looks at the Second World War through the eyes of local people. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com

ccording to Kobi Christian, arts and heritage curator at the Langley Centennial Museum, the Langley Advance played a role in making servicemen and women from Langley feel in touch with home during the Second World War. “We found an article that stated that E.J. Cox was sending a newspaper to every Langley man and woman serving overseas,” Christian said. Cox was the founder of the Advance. The Langley Centennial Museum’s exhibit, Mementos & Memories: Langley and the Second World War runs until Remembrance Day, Nov. 11, in the museum at 9135 King St. in Fort Langley. Visitors are welcome to come in the afternoon on Remembrance Day after local morning ceremonies. This exhibit explores the experiences of Langley’s residents during the war era by looking at artifacts and firsthand accounts of service both overseas and at home. Quotes from the museum’s oral history collection are combined with early issues of the Advance to paint the picture of how locals were managing and carrying on with day-to-day life during the Second World War. The museum is also creating a current and personal display as part of the exhibit. Visitors are asked to bring a copy of a family wartime photo to be included on the museum’s Board of Remembrance to create a sense of understanding of the emotional reach and impact the war had locally. Attendees to Mementos & Memories will be able to see a soldier doll that was given to Elsie Gunter by her uncle Clarence Vaughan, a wedding dress worn by Gertrude Barton of

Brookswood, and the scrapbook of Fort Langley’s Fritz Ziegler, which includes mementos of his internment. Red Cross-issued knitting instructions that belonged to Margaret Sophia Johnson of Willoughby and Private Richard Straw’s great coat and medals are also on display. Tying in with the exhibit, the special event, Until Everyone Comes Home: Variety Show & Vignettes of the Second World War, will be performed on Nov. 1 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Chief Sepass Theatre. Tickets are available through the museum at 604-532-3536. Watch for details of that show in an upcoming edition.

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.” - Bikram Kanjilal, Consultant Marine Development

Trans Mountain has been operating at Westridge Terminal for six decades without a single spill from tanker operations, due in part to the stringent precautions we put in place. Close collaboration between Pilotage Authorities, Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and Port Metro Vancouver ensures vessels navigate our waters safely, guided by highly qualiﬁed local pilots.

• • • • • • • • • •

Tankers are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards. Any vessel proposing to visit Westridge must go through pre-screening and physical inspection. Only double hulled tankers of modern design are accepted. The Canadian Coast Guard monitors every vessel’s passage. All employees are trained in operations, safety and emergency response procedures. All vessels have a boom enclosure throughout loading operations. Two local pilots are on board loaded tankers during every movement. Tug escorts are required to accompany all laden tankers. Dedicated local marine-based spill response organization, WCMRC, ensures quick action in the event of a spill. Marine spill response will be enhanced.

On the last Saturday of each month, seniors can get a 20 per cent discount at Valley Evergreen Pharmacy. It’s part of the customer service offered by this local business. The owners, Gerry Kitson, Hazel Kitson and Steve Kitson, work to create a family atmosphere for customers. “We’ve been in business since 1969, family owned and operated,” says Steve. What separates the pharmacy at 20577 Douglas Crescent are the friendly and knowledgeable staff and the family atmosphere. Many of the customers are known by name. Everyone at Valley Evergreen Pharmacy goes the extra mile. The store provides services to help the customers, whether it’s one-on-one pharmacy consultations and compliance packaging to fittings and assistance with home health care products. Valley Evergreen has post-mastectomy products to those after surgery, with a certified fitter available. Steve wants customers to understand an important distinction about this family business: “We are not a methadone dispensing pharmacy.” Valley Evergreen Pharmacy is open Monday through Friday, 9am-6pm, and Saturday from 9am-5pm. It’s closed Sundays and statutory holidays. Appointments are recommended for specialty services. Call 604-534-1332 or get in touch via email at: valphar@hotmail.com to book or with questions about its health and wellness services and products.

Stunning plants have ancient roots

Lovers of orchids come together this weekend to celebrate one of the world’s oldest flowering plants. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com

lder than roses, asters, and humans, the orchid came about in the Mesozoic era when the earth and Rocky Mountains were still taking shape.

It’s no surprises then that there are more than 25,000 species of the orchid flower family making it not only one of the oldest, but also one of the biggest flowering families on Earth. Celebrate this beautiful and exotic looking flower in all of its forms at the 2014 Fraser Valley Orchid Society Orchid Show and Sale. The annual show is organized by show chair Wayne Louie who has overseen the show’s creation for the last five years – at least. With eight local orchid vendors, five orchid societies, and 14 flower show

the same space [as last year] but with a different layout. The theme is a symphony of orchids so we will be promoting the diversity of orchids available.” Through a 50/50 draw, the show will continue its tradition of support for the Langley Hospice Society. “We are still continuing our support,” noted Louie. Find the Fraser Valley Orchid Society’s Orchid Show and Sale in the curling rink side of the George Preston Recreation Centre at 20699 42nd Ave. Admission is $7 for adults, $6 for seniors and students and children under 12 are admitted free.

In the garden

LangleyAdvance

Alliums flower in many colours and shapes different varieties may be purple, pink, white, lavender and sometimes yellow or blue. After their flowering season, the easy-to-dry seedheads can be cut for winter vases or left in the garden where they add interest until winter winds make them keel over. Flower heads if cut early tend to keep a faded version of their original colours. Besides being hardy and unusually healthy, alliums have a vertical growth habit that fits very well into containers and small spaces. They reliably come back year after year. Though alliums will grow in most soils that aren’t swampy, their favourite conditions are the same ones that crocuses and tulips like – sun and well-drained soil. The foliage dies down immediately they flower (or even a little before in some). Once they’re dormant, drought doesn’t bother them. Most of their bulbs can be planted below or within the roots of other plants and when flowering the taller alliums rise well above compact annuals. Squirrels seem to ignore alliums as do other pests. Breeders are working on creating the deepest possible purple alliums such as the four foot (1.2 metre) Ambassador. But most of the tall, large-globed ones including Globemaster, Lucille Ball or Allium giganteum

mat of bulbs. The flowers produce 3’ (90cm) stems of bells in an unusual blend of white, pink purple and green. Another strange plant is Allium schubertii which displays a ragged head of long, medium and short floret stems hosting pink flowers. It has a fascinating shape for winter vases.

are a blend of pinkish purple or purplish-pink. Virtually all alliums are keepers which return year after year without hogging precious space. But the Sicilian Honey Garlic (Nectaroscordum siculum) gradually makes a thick and ever-increasing

One of the most beautiful is Allium christophii which is only 12” (30cm) tall but has heads which can reach 10” (25cm) in diameter. It’s another lovely one for drying. Each starry floret is centered with a black seed. One new and unusual

species is Allium obliquum which originates in Siberia and is reputed to be evergreen. Few alliums have yellow flowers, but this one does. It grows 40” (100cm) tall and is said to be hardy to zone 2. Another pretty allium is Chameleon which begins flowering rosy-pink, then morphs into white petals with a purple stripe as it matures. Also unusual is Allium atropurpureum which flowers a deep purplishred. It isn’t generally known that leeks, shallots and vegetable onions can produce very pretty flowers though with leeks and onions this doesn’t happen till their second year, and by then the root isn’t much use for eating. Most flowers of vegetable alliums are white, but red onions or purpletinged leeks may produce flowers with a purple blush or purple stamens or purple seeds. Once you have a flower, you may obtain viable seeds for garden planting. Obtaining seeds is best tried with one or two plants that you’ve moved out of the vegetable garden. Old roots are susceptible to diseases and pests.

Extreme Home Repair

Know a home in need of help? The deadline for nominations to be filled out and submitted online, at www.aokaldergrove.org, is Nov. 15. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Do you know someone who can’t make much-needed house renovations, due to financial and/or physical limitations? If so, then it’s time to try to make a difference. Nominations for the 2015 Acts of Kindness (AOK) Extreme Home Repair project, organized by the Aldergrove Seventh-day Adventist Church, are being accepted. Nomination forms can be filled out and submitted online at www.aokaldergrove. org. Nominees must live within the Langley/ Aldergrove area limits and the deadline for nominations is Nov. 15. Volunteers will start renovating the home in early May, 2015, for a Victoria Day (May 18) reveal at 5 p.m. “Any one can be nominated, and by anyone,” project manager Lorne Brownmiller said. “The person must own the home, or should I say they can own the home with a bank. Situations always vary and in no way reflect the process, as a person in need is a person in need.” A home will only be selected if it is felt that the owner(s) cannot reasonably complete the needed repairs on their own, due to physical and/or financial limitations. Brownmiller, who has been part of the project since 2004, added, “They should

be a good neighbour, regardless of the condition of their home.” After Nov. 15, nominees are contacted first via a phone visit, which starts the process, and then by a visit to the home. “As always we are looking forward to making another difference in someone’s, or family’s, life,” Brownmiller said. This past May, more than 200 volunteers did a complete renovation of Pat Tapper’s split-level house in Aldergrove. The estimated cost of renovations ranged between $150,000 and $200,000 in value. Each year brings new challenges, Brownmiller said. But the payoff comes on the day when the homeowners return to see their renovated house for the first time in a couple of weeks. And Brownmiller added that it’s always worth the time, effort, and sacrifice. “There are frustrating moments, there are tense moments, but when you evaluate the impact that you are able to be a part of, the feeling is indescribable,” Brownmiller said. “And one of the things that I really get a kick out of, is being intimate with the whole project.” Brownmiller loves the pay it forward aspect. “For whatever reason, I have been blessed with a healthy body… and the people around me are healthy, but there are so many people who don’t have those simple, take-for-granted everyday gifts,” Brownmiller said. “Our mandate is not to judge, but rather to make a practical difference in people’s lives, and however they can respond afterwards, and normally it’s very favourable, is how the rest of their story goes.”

The popular walking trails along the Nicomekl River give people a chance to see wildlife in the heart of Langley City. Near the Langley Seniors Resource Centre, large numbers of ducks congregate. On Tuesday, they wandered over to greet 16-month-old Parker Miller. His grandmother Mary Miller often takes him down along the trails to see the ducks.

Education

Lodge lecture is Tuesday

Langley Lodge continues with its education series with an expert from the Public Guardian and Trustee.

Death is not a topic anyone wants to think about but making plans in the event of death, such as having a valid will, helps provide peace of mind. The next free education seminar hosted by Langley Lodge features some heady topics. The guest presenter on Tuesday, Oct. 21 is Meghan Shaw, the regional consultant for the province’s Public Guardian and Trustee. She will be providing valuable information regarding personal planning such as power of attorney, wills, estates, and advance planning. Today’s seniors are keen to learn more about protecting their health and finances. Seniors and middle-aged adults will benefit from the series, and will be more knowledgeable when they start to plan for their future health care decisions and financial security.

The focus is to provide free education for local citizens, on topics relevant to seniors and aging, primarily concerning health and wellness. All guest speakers are qualified professionals who donate their time, to allow Langley Lodge to host the series for free to the general public. Organizers ask that people sign up in advance at 604-532-4217 or with the lodge reception desk at 604-530-2305. People can also sign up via email to sthirsk@langleylodge.org. For more details, visit: www.langleylodge.org. Langley Lodge is an accredited, not-for-profit senior’s residential care organization, established in 1974. It is located at 5451 204th St. There is free parking available in front of the facility and on the street.

The lodge is also inviting the public in on Saturday for its big book sale which runs 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Oct. 18 sale raises funds for lodge residents and is hosted by the Langley Care Society Auxiliary.

Fundraising neckties and parenting magic on tap The Crystal Gala Foundation helps Fraser Valley women. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com

One heck of a good party will be going on in Abbotsford Saturday night. The Crystal Gala is an event designed to raise

funds to help promote and achieve breast health while also supporting Fraser Valley women and families who suffer the effects of breast cancer. The gala is sold out, but the Crystal Gala Foundation is selling ties tied to this year’s gala theme of Prohibition and is inviting supporters to “tie one on”. The 1920s style pink

with black strip ties are available through Champagne & Lace in Abbotsford or by emailing tieoneon@crystalgala.com. Funds from the minimum $20 donation per tie go to the foundation. Once that tie has arrived, take a selfie of “tying it on” and upload it to www. crystalgala.ca/tie-one-on for a chance to win an iPad.

mysterious illusionist and sees the imagery of his son Calisto making his way in the world. “This show is somewhere between The Princess Bride and Pirates of the Caribbean,” said actor Bryan Sandberg, who plays a laughable lunatic. Langley resident Kate Muchmore makes her directorial debut. “Love is so compli-

cated, yet so simple,” said Muchmore. “The playwright does a marvellous job of illustrating the many faces of love, pushing us to question the obvious and accept the ambiguous. And he does this by telling a beautiful fairy tale about family and forgiveness. It’s magical!” Visit www.twu.ca/theatre for ticket information or call 604-513-2121.

Atom Bears mighty in downing Giants Some cub-sized North Langley Bears are making big plays on the gridiron, of late. The atom Bears extended their win streak to three games with their second shutout in a row, conquering the Chilliwack White Giants 22-0 on the road. The Bears’ offence came on strong in the first quarter, with a big 35 yard run by Keaghan Hurley, which led to a one yard touchdown run by Owen Sieben. Taylor Bear added a one point convert on the run. The Bears brought a true team effort to their defensive game, with big tackles by Kayden Bell, Caleb Price, and Manny Fotiou in the first quarter to hold the Giants back. The second quarter brought another quick tackle by Bell in the end zone, giving the Bears a two point safety. Getting the ball back, the Bears continued with their running game with first down scampers from Evan Hoy, Sieben, Marco Key, and Hurley leading to a three yard touchdown run by Taylor Bear. The Bears went into the half with a 14-0 lead. The second half saw Bell again making huge tackles and forcing a fumble, which he recovered. The Giants did manage to keep the Bears’ running game to a minimum and no points were put on the board during the third quarter.

The Bears stepped it up for a strong finish in the fourth quarter, with another long touchdown run by Hurley, who finished with just under 100 yards rushing and was awarded game MVP. Reece Fennell ran in the convert, giving the Bears a 22-0 lead early in the fourth quarter. Just when the Giants looked like they would cross the goal line, North Langley’s defence had a huge goal line stand, with Bell and Ezekiel Bodill combining to force another fumble. Bell had seven key tackles in the game to lead the Bears’ defence. Fotiou had three sacks in the game and Price also had several key tackles. Annika Key had her best kickoffs of the season, sailing her last one over the entire Giants team. – by Maryann Lambert North Langley peewee Bears The unbeaten and divisionleading Chilliwack Red Giants lived up to their name on Thanksgiving Day, handing the Bears a 36-14 defeat. The Bears’ record now stands at 4-3-1 with two games to go in their regular season. The Giants took control on the first play from scrimmage when Logan Buchwitz plowed through the Bears’ defence, going 60 yards for a touchdown.

Bantam Bears The Bears remained undefeated after a convincing 43-13 victory over the third place Coquitlam Chargers. The Bears scored easily on their opening drive, capped by a nine yard Jacob Stebbings pass to Ryan Taylor in the end zone. But the Chargers used their superior size to full advantage, answering with a solid touchdown drive of their own. After Zander Bailey returned the ensuing kickoff for a spectacular 85-yard touchdown, the Chargers scored on their first offensive play, leaving the score 14-13 Bears. At that point the Bears took over the game and never looked back. The main offensive weapon was Bailey, who had a big day, piling up 221 yards and three touchdowns on 15 carries. Andy Hanlen chipped in with a 45-yard punt return in the third quarter. On defence, the Bears used their speed to relentlessly gang tackle the large Charger running backs with Mason Block, Jake Evans, Connor Hurley and Ryan Barthelson leading the team in tackles. Hurley also forced a turnover when he hustled down the field on a Bears’ kickoff and wrestled the ball loose from the Charger returner. • More online at langleyadvance.com

Meanwhile the defence led by Owen Jenkins, Damen Norris, Jeremy Catroppa, Devon Laboucan, and Wes Kraft shut out the league’s highest scoring offence with vigorous defensive play. The win lifts the Mustangs into a tie with the Longhorns and Chilliwack Giants for second place in the division. Next up for the Mustangs are the Abbotsford Falcons on Sunday.
