Injured owl nursed back to health An owl found and rescued after a gruesome injury recovered and made it back into the wild.

OWL’s caretakers found the bird seriously injured.

Police brought home the bacon when they rounded up a stray pig at a local school. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

No one, human or animal, was injured. The pig had escaped from a lot just two or three properties away from the school to the east. On Oct. 23, Langley Township firefighters got an assist from the Port Mann Traffic Service RCMP unit when they had to corral two horses that were running loose on the Trans Canada Highway. There were also reports of stray cattle on local roads the same day, and more cattle were reported straying on Wednesday morning.

Seniors issues on table for two election debates

City and Township candidates will talk to seniors at two upcoming forums. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com

Two all-candidates meetings specific to seniors’ issues have been set for Monday and Wednesday. Both Langley City and Township of Langley candidates will share their views with local seniors

while fielding questions prepared by organizers and the audience. Organized by Triple A Senior Housing and cosponsored by a number of other senior-serving organizations, the sessions will be a slightly different format than the standard all-candidates meetings. Marilyn Fischer of Triple A noted candidates will have the opportunity to introduce themselves as well as their campaign platform, but will then walk through the room talking on a more intimate

level with each table full of seniors. “We definitely have [had a good response from candidates to attending the meetings],” Fischer said. “All the candidates from the Township have accepted our invitation and all but one candidate from the City have accepted our invitation.” Township of Langley meeting: Monday, Nov. 3 1-3 p.m. Langley City meeting: Wednesday, Nov. 5 1-3 p.m.

Pre-set questions will be give them an opportunity established by the organto meet the candidates,” izers, including on issues Fischer noted. such as housing and transCandidates have also portation. been Attendees invited to “There’s a lot of can also supply a seniors that vote and bring their short writeown queswe want to give them up detailtions and ing two an opportunity to write them or three meet the candidates.” specific down at the start of the items they Marilyn Fischer meeting for consider as inclusion in high priorthe question ities in the periods. community and how they “There’s lots of seniors would address them.

from the World Health Organization checklist of the eight essential features of Age-Friendly Cities. These write-ups will be assembled as a handout for seniors at the event. “It’s a good undertaking for us to put on an all-candidates meeting,” Fischer said. “Seniors need to be informed and exercise their vote.” Both meetings will be held at the Langley Seniors Resource Centre at 20605 51B Ave. Attendees are asked to carpool as parking is limited.

Compass card still off kilter

The Compass Card system is facing another delay, another technical glitch. TransLink is working on it, of course. TransLink has been working on perfecting their not-quite-ready-for-prime-time system for well over a year. In fact, the Compass Card system was a year overdue as of this past summer. The cards have difficulty “tapping out” of buses, which could mean being charged for a three-zone ride after taking the bus a mere mile. Those on the outskirts of Metro Vancouver – in the Langleys, in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, and parts of Surrey and White Rock – can only watch this mess and feel an extra degree of bitterness. We’ve been paying more than our fair share for years. And while we can’t expect transit service to every rural property, now that parts of our communities are booming, we should have had big increases. Nope. At the province’s behest, money has been poured into fare gates for SkyTrain (which does not reach us) and on a card system that seems to be broken, while new bus routes are few and far between. There is no new money, we are told again and again. Meanwhile, the population here grows and grows, and our needs expand, and the buses do not come. There could have been a referendum on TransLink funding as of this Nov. 15, with the civic elections. That was pushed off to 2015, too. We still don’t know what the question will be for this future vote. Meanwhile, the vote only serves to distract attention from the fact that the province has no interest whatsoever in helping put more people on buses. TransLink, for all its real and perceived faults, cannot raise more money without Victoria giving it new powers, or without raising property taxes, a move no one particularly wants. So here we sit, winter coming in, the days getting darker, the weather wetter. And all the transit users and would-be transit users have to stand and fume, like people stuck in the rain waiting for a bus that’s always late. -M.C.

Animal welfare

Beavers allowed to live in history

Dear Editor, Kudos to the Association for the Protection of FurBearing Animals for their construction in Fort Langley of a flow device to help humans live in harmony with beavers, without the need to trap them [Device averts beaver trapping, Oct. 21, Langley Advance]. The flow-through devices allow water to flow around or under a beaver dam. Kudos to the Township of

Langley for moving in the direction of non-lethal solutions, as the municipality of Surrey has done for years. I hope the Township will proceed with more flowthrough devices, to allow beavers to do what they do, which in most in cases is environmentally positive. The symbol of Fort Langley is, of course, the beaver. I hope we have finally reached a point in our history where this crea-

Euthanasia road to problems

Dear Editor, Quebec is following the Belgium model, in which 32 per cent of all deaths of euthanasia and assisted suicide are done without request and 47 per cent of all deaths of euthanasia and assisted suicide go unreported. Nurses are prohibited from doing euthanasia – but are euthanizing their patients. Once you legalize euthanasia and assisted suicide, there are no safeguards. They are also euthanizing people who have mental illness and children who have disabilities. We need better palliative care, not euthanasia. Dean Clark, Langley

ture might be appreciated for its beauty and its awesome strength and engineering capacity, instead of trapping and drowning the adults while the young kits listen to their parents’ final struggle for survival in their underwater den. The video of this scenario is not one you would want to see. My thanks to Lesley Fox of the Association for the Protection of Fur Bearing Animals, for making this beaver-human cohabitation a reality. And my thanks to George and Bunty Clements, now deceased but not forgotten, the founders of the association, and their legacy of “ban leg-hold traps.” Unfortunately, leg-hold traps are legal in Canada to this day. The battle against the fur trade continues, and the legacy of Geoge and Bunty Clements will forever be remembered in the hearts and minds of those who care. Sharon Stephenson, Langley

Langley Memorial Hospital

Response restored faith in hospital

Dear Editor, I would like to extend a great big thank you to the wonderful emergency room staff working at Langley Memorial Hospital on Thursday, Oct. 16, 7-8 p.m. My five-year-old daughter had taken a very hard fall and split the back of her head open on a concrete sidewalk. The staff at LMH was amazing – I cannot emphasize that enough. From the nurses at the triage check-in, to the nurses in the rooms, to the doctor who cleaned and stitched her up. The doctor was absolutely wonderful with her, and she didn’t even know she was getting stitched up. I will shamefully admit that, had we not been right across the street when the accident happened, LMH would not have been my first choice, as past trips to this ER and

a hospital stay had left me feeling that the care towards the patients was seriously lacking, and it was not a place I wanted to bring my child. However, the caring, patient, dedicated staff that tended to her this night has changed my mind. The nurses and the doctor were so caring towards a very young, scared, and hurt little girl, that they set the heart and nerves of a worried mom (with grandparents in tow) to rest. I would like to extend my utmost thanks to all the staff on site that night. M.B. Stigum Langley Letters on this page have been edited for space.

The meaning of their sacrifice and their valour rests with our collective national consciousness.

public notices Flooding: Preventative Maintenance

While Township crews routinely inspect culvert trash racks and storm systems to make sure they are functioning efficiently, conditions can change rapidly during storm season. You can do your part to reduce flooding risks by completing some of these simple preventative maintenance measures: • Clear nearby curbs and catch basins of leaves and debris, especially during heavy rain, as water running off the street will carry more leaves and debris into the curb.

• Do not rake leaves from your property or boulevard onto the street or into open ditches. Collect and compost leaves on site or bag them for future pick-up. • Clear debris that has collected in driveway culverts and result in blockages and check ditches for blockages. To report flooding problems that are not directly related to your property or to report flooding occurring on municipal property, phone 604.532.7300 between 8:30am and 4:30pm, Monday through Friday, or call 604.543.6700 after hours.

The Rotary Club of Langley is taking on a new fundraiser in its goal of giving back. This time it comes with all the glitz and glamour of a gala at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre on Nov. 8 and honours those with a very unglamorous job. The inaugural Rotary Gala and Auction will raise funds for the Wounded Warriors Foundation, a non-profit organization designed to deliver programs and services to members of the Canadian Forces who were injured in the service to their country. Co-chair of the event and member of the Langley Rotary Club, Jason Coroy, explained about the event. “You are invited to be part of our inaugural evening in support of the Wounded Warriors foundation in the goal of raising over $50,000 toward the under served assistance of our brave veterans that have served past and present to make our county the great place it is for us all today.” Included in the $75 ticket price is a dinner, live and silent auctions, a cocktail reception, prize draws, and entertainment. People will be able to enjoy the Golden Ears Jazz Band as well as finalists from the 2014 Langley Has Talent competition. The other event co-chair, Kari Kutvonen, noted that the atmosphere is

This is well timed with Remembrance Day [and the funds raised for Wounded Warriors].” Langley Rotary is expecting upwards of 300 guests to take part in the signature event. Tables of 10 are available for $750. “We are over 200 [tickets sold],” Kutvonen said. “Wounded Warriors Canada had been in the papers a lot lately... they really needed help... we are really happy with the decision [to raise funds for them].” The Saturday evening event kicks off at 6 p.m. with the cocktail reception and as the evening progresses, attendees can bid on a number of unique and exclusive silent and live auction items such as the opportunity for two to be in a plane during a Remembrance Day fly over. Tickets can be purchased through the club’s site at www.langleyrotaryauction. org or at 604-635-4410 or 604-532-8831.

DRIVE UP & DROP OFF YOUR DONATION OF CLOTHING AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS

WHEN CUSTOMERS CHOOSE TO DONATE THEIR CLOTHING AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS, THE IMPACT IS FELT AROUND THE WORLD. Not only do donations of clothing and household items benefit worthy nonprofits such as Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley and the young people they serve…they also benefit the community and planet earth. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley is a nonprofit organization that helps local youth in the Langley area. As Canada’s leading child and youth mentoring charity, Big Brothers Big Sisters facilitates life-changing relationships that inspire and empower children to reach their full potential, both as individuals and as citizens. For 40 years, the Langley community has generously supported Big Brothers Big Sisters, but given the recent economic state, contributing financially is proving to be more and more difficult for many residents. Through their unique partnership with Value Village thrift stores in the Langley area, Big Brothers Big Sisters is able to continue their valuable mission despite the economic crunch. Now customers can support this worthwhile organization simply by donating their gently-used clothing and household items. DONATE A LITTLE, DO A LOT For nearly 60 years, Value Village has built a bridge between donors…people who choose to give their goods a second life by donating them instead of throwing them away, and thrift shoppers…people who see the value in purchasing used items. Ultimately, this union benefits local nonprofits

like the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley as well as the planet. In fact, every year Value Village provides vital funding to more than 155 nonprofit organizations across the globe and helps to keep over 650 million pounds of reusable items out of landfills. DRIVE UP & DROP OFF In order to make supporting your favorite nonprofit organization even easier, Value Village has opened a new Donation Drop Spot in front of Chapters Book Store at the intersection of Langley Bypass and 200 Street. The new attended Drop Spot location makes for a fast, friendly, and convenient donation experience. The community can also donate at any Value Village location – or directly to any one of their nonprofit partners.

Aldergrove gets Strange

Strange Empire films in Aldergrove at the former Arctic Air site. by Alex Strachan

Special to the Langley Advance

“My father found me strange,” young Rebecca Blithely (Melissa Farman) tells her would-be surrogate mother figure, Kat Loving (Cara Gee), midway through the first hour of the strange, female-driven period western Strange Empire. Blithely was committed to a mental institution as a child before being rescued by a kindly, benevolent couple who raised her as their own. Now, living an uncertain life in a small mountain town that straddles the Alberta-Montana border in the late 1860s, she’s decided to become a surgeon. It’s a time and place where men rule the roost – good men and bad men alike – and girls are married off at a young age before they become women. Strange Empire hails from Durham County cocreator and writer Laurie Finstad-Knizhnik, and it shares that series’ sense of menace and lurking dread, despite its period setting. When the two women, talking quietly in a forest

Saturday will have Langley dancing up a storm with a national trio of bands taking over a local stage. by Ronda Payne news@langleyadvance.com

It’s an all Canadian show Saturday night at Gabby’s Country Cabaret. Three Canadian acts come to Langley for the performance with a collection of original and cover tunes perfect for boot stomping dancing. Autumn Hill is a duo made up of Mike Robins and Tareya Green. The pair were unlikely to form a band given their careers began on a solo basis. Both had already signed to independent Wax Records when they met at a Christmas party and began singing. Autumn Hill was born. Juno nomination and CCMA award wins were the recognition the Autumn Hill debut album Favourite Mistake received. Now, nominated for the 2014 CCMAs, the band hits the road in the Shake it if You Got it Tour with fellow country music performer Kira Isabella. Country music fans may recognize Autumn HIll’s three nationally played hits: Anything At All, Can’t Keep Waiting, and Fire. The pair is the first Canadian country music act to cross the line into pop radio since Shania Twain. The latest single, If She Wants this Town comes from the new album and is sure to be included in the Saturday night playlist. Country Music Television (CMT) is the official sponsor of the tour which also includes Kira Isabella of Ottawa, who will

The name of the tour comes from one of the new album’s songs titles. Also a CCMA award winner and Juno award nominee, Isabella has been on the country music scene since 2009 when her first single was released The third group to join the performances at Gabby’s will be B.C.’s own Me and Mae. Off the Rails is the group’s debut album and is destined to become a regional favourite with the catchy melodies mixed with modern lyrics. All three bands make their way to Gabby’s at 20297 Fraser Hwy. for Saturday’s show at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $30 through ticketweb.ca, 1-888-222-6608 or online at http://www.bandsintown.com/ AutumnHill.

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.” - Bikram Kanjilal, Master Mariner, 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.

broomsticks with the aid of flying ointment. The reported plant ingredients are interesting since some are poisons/pain relievers/tranquilisers while others are hallucinogenic. These include: foxglove (digitalis), hemp (marijuana), Aconitum napellus (Wolfsbane), Deadly nightshade (Atropa belladonna), hellebore and also poppy juice made from Papaver somniferum (source of opium). All have immense power, but the sad truth is the healing record was not good. Patients tended to die from the medicine. Most are beautiful-looking plants but none should be planted anywhere near edible-leaf plants that might be harvested by an inexperienced gardener. Deadly nightshade sometimes volunteers from the wild. It’s attractive

with red, shiny berries and purple petals with a yellow pointed beak – but so deadly in all its parts that it should be removed (with gloves) from any garden where it appears. The tall, blue-flowered garden perennial named Aconitum is so poisonous, it can burn unprotected skin on susceptible people (I was susceptible). Hellebore seeds blister fingers if you collect them too slowly and growing hemp frequently causes difficulties with authorities. Papaver somniferum seed is used by some cooks for baked goods. The decorative, pink double form is the one usually grown and seeds, and plants are easily available. But it can get out of hand since it’s a prodigous seeder. One of the magical trees associated with Halloween is willow. In fact, the words ‘witch’, ‘wicked’ and ‘wicker’ all come from the same ancient word for willow. The belief was that a witch’s broom had an ash handle and birch twigs while willow stems formed the binding. Another magical plant is the hazel tree. This was believed to supply the wood for witches wands. Today a forked hazel branch is sometimes used for water divining.

The workshop is at the Langley Events Centre from 8:30 a.m. to noon on Nov. 8. Tickets are $25, plus GST, and can be purchased from any Township recreation centre. The Township has more farmland than its Metro Vancouver neighbours, with 75 per cent of its area in the Agricultural Land Reserve. But 73 per cent of Langley’s land is in parcels smaller than 10 acres. Only 55 per cent of its ALR land is farmed.

s Halloween draws near, children and adults in costumes of witches, ghosts, zombies and bloodier characters roam the streets and our homes and the magic of play-acting is all around. But in the long-ago roots of Halloween when people lived with the belief that spirits surrounded their lives and could wreak harm if they wished, there was another kind of magic and at times real fear. That’s because Halloween (then called Samhain) was the one night when the gates of death stood open and spirits were said to move freely and unobstructed in both directions. That’s why people relied on the magic of certain plants to protect them against any harm which might come from the unseen world. Often the magic of these plants was proved to them by their use in healing. Many of these plants are widely used today. Planted near a door, rosemary could bar evil spirits from your dwelling, protect you from bad dreams and stop you from catching the plague. Ivy could also stop evil spirits from entering but it had to grow on the walls of your house. Garlic was even more use because it was thought to evict evil spirits once they got in and ward off vampires as well. Holly planted near a house was believed to be yet another protection as were hawthorn and rowan (Mountain Ash).

Clash draws 300-plus fight fans to Coast The B.C. Classic Heavyweight Championship show in downtown Langley was a big hit with enthusiasts of the ‘sweet science.’ The 33rd edition of the Clash at the Cascades amateur boxing series lived up to its hype, according to show organizer Dave Allison. The B.C. Classic Heavyweight Championship event, held Friday at the Coast Hotel ballroom, saw a crowd of more than 300 boxing fans take in a B.C. heavyweight title bout. Aaron Downey of Surrey’s WKX was defending his title against Bryan Colwell representing Victoria’s Island MMA. The contest started with Downey being quite aggressive, and after two rounds it appeared he was going to hold on to the title. The third round saw a momentum change, when Colwell used his height and footwork to stay out of range. “Colwell was able to land some pretty good check hooks and maintain his distance from Downey,” Allison reported.

As the rounds went on Downey was unable to solve Colwell’s style, in Allison’s opinion. “When the final bell sounded there was little suspense when the unanimous decision was in favor of Bryan Colwell, the new Classic Heavyweight champion of B.C,” Allison said. Allison added, “if the question was to be asked on who was the natural challenger to Downey, perhaps a few names may come to mind.” He mentioned B.C. cruiserweight champion Ken Huber who defended his title against Colwell last summer, and perhaps Palvir Atwal who has a three round win against Colwell. However, at Friday’s Clash, in what Allison described as a “great fight,” Jared Revel of Langley’s Revolution Club won a hard-fought four rounder over Samuel King Moses of Vancouver’s Sargents Boxing. “Revel is now the City Classic Heavyweight champion and Colwell could be in his future,” Allison said. In a woman’s bout for a City welterweight championship, Langley’s Tamara Wolfe of Revolution faced against Sarah Franski of Burnaby.

Langley trainer James Allison (kneeling, facing the camera) gave advice to Jared Revel of Langley’s Revolution Club during the 33rd Clash at the Cascades amateur boxing event held Friday at the Coast Hotel ballroom. The bout was a see-saw battle that was ruled as a draw by the judges. “Both women kept up an amazing pace and the possibility

of a rematch was being talked about right after the match,” Allison said. Langley City Boxing’s Mat Andreatta of Brookswood earned

a hard-fought decision over previously undefeated Lucas Collette of White Rock’s Ocean City Boxing. The bout started with Collette dictating the pace with “pure aggression that may have won him the round,” Allison said, however “Andreatta forced the fight inside and with clean combinations took the second round.” The second round was close but the third was all Andreatta with Collette on the ropes when the final bell sounded. The decision went to Andreatta. In a “Langley versus Aldergove” match, Kyle Isakson, 17, of Langley City Boxing took on 16-year-old Jake Andres from Aldergrove’s Blue Corner Boxing. The bout was competitive with three close rounds, and when the decision was rendered it went to Andres. “The show had a total of eight fights and before the night was over, the talk of rematches had already started and questions about the next show,” Allison said. The next Clash at the Cascades event will be held in the new year.

Ice Hawks halt Knights’ nearly month-long unbeaten streak Previous to Tuesday’s 6-4 loss to the host Delta Ice Hawks, Langley last tasted defeat back on Sept. 28. by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com

October has been a month to remember for the Langley Knights – and it isn’t over. The bulk of October saw Langley go seven games without a loss, with six wins and a tie with the Aldergrove Kodiaks in a period spanning from Oct. 2 to 24. The Knights’ nearly month-long undefeated streak ended Tuesday at the Ladner Leisure Centre, where they fell 6-4 to the Delta Ice Hawks.

The Knights, who trailed 2-1 after the opening stanza, had a strong finish, scoring the only three goals of the third period, off the sticks of Oliver Alcock, Tristan Craighead, and Dylan McCann. Carson Rose found the net in the first period for the Knights. “You can’t win them all,” Knights head coach John Craighead said. “You’re not going to win every game but at the end of the day, we bounced back strong, but it was too little, too late.” Heading into tonight’s game, Langley is unbeaten on home ice, with six wins and the aforementioned tie with Aldergrove.

Mustangs tame NS Tigers Bears’ comeback falls short

Langley’s bantams improved to 6-1 with a hard-fought, 28-7 win over the North Surrey Tigers last weekend.

There’s no slowing down the Langley Mustangs these days. Sunday’s Vancouver Mainland Football League 12-man bantam game at Surrey’s Bear Creek Park saw the Mustangs stretch their winning streak to three games, downing the host North Surrey Tigers by a 28-7 score. The game was extremely tight through the first three quarters of football, with the Mustangs carrying a tenuous 14-7 advantage into the final stanza. Quarterback Colten Dejong cranked up the action in the final quarter. He orchestrated an aerial attack which cumulated in touchdowns by Yunjae Boo and Azuka Okoli. Jacob Smart had an outstanding game, making

North Langley’s atoms couldn’t overcome a 16-point deficit against the Abbotsford Falcons.
