The dead rose from their graves Saturday, and took a little stroll around Fort Langley.

The Fort Langley Zombie Walk, organized by the Fort Langley Studio, a new local art gallery, attracted several dozen people in zombie makeup.

About 40 people had been expected, but the numbers were higher than that when the participants began lurching down Glover Road at 1 p.m.

The walkers included everyone from kids decked out in greenand-grey makeup to teens to a few folks with grey hair. There were a number of zombie families on the walk.

The Studio put out the call for zombies a few months ago, and also had makeup artists on hand to give some early arrivals a pallid look.

Many people showed up sporting home-made zombie looks, some with facial prosthetics.

“It’s fun, it’s Halloween,” said

Curtis Zondag, the co-owner of the gallery with Laura Murphy.

The gallery just opened this summer, and this is one of their first public activities.

Zondag said it didn’t seem right that only places like Vancouver should have a zombie walk.

“This side of the river needs more large activities,” he said.

Starting at the gallery at the corner of Glover Road and 96th Avenue, the horde of the sham-

bling undead headed north to Mavis Avenue, crossed to Church Street, and made its way back to the gallery.

Most people knew they were coming, although there were a few who looked alarmed when they saw the zombies gathering, Zondag said.

As for why so many people would want to dress as mindless monsters, Zondag said it’s just a bit of escapism.

“People just like to step out of

themselves,” he said.

The walk coincides with a show of spooky artworks at the studio, in a partnership with Urban Art.

TWU on hot streak

The Trinity Western University women’s soccer team will enter the post-season riding a seven-game winning streak and 10-game unbeaten run.

This, after the Spartans earned a 31 win over Mount Royal in their regular season finale Saturday at Rogers Field.

Jenna di Nunzio, Jessica King, and Krista Gommeringer scored to give the Spartans (8-1-3) all they would need to close out the regular season with a win.

The win ensured the Spartans will host a Canada West quarter-final match Oct. 26 at 6 p.m.

Community

Treasure trove

Organizers of last year’s Langley Senior Resources Society were amazed at the huge amount of support they received last year, and now they’re hoping the community comes out again for their next event.

“We raised over $14,000 and had a huge level of support from the community, members, volunteers and staff,” said Barb Stack, the centre’s executive director.

Homelessness

Contacts help keep streets at bay Langley agencies came together to help the homeless on Thursday.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley’s homeless and the people who help them came together Thursday for the Homelessness Action Week Connect Event.

Social service agencies, charities, government ministries, and private companies gathered at St. Joseph’s Church on Fraser Highway to meet with each other and some of the people Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance most in need.

This is the second year the Sue Noble of the Langley Community Services Society was one of many people who event has been held, timed to offered information and services at a recent Homelessness Action Week event. coincide with Homelessness a local church who were there people who drop by St. Joe’s Action Week, said Fraser to get a better handle on where regularly.

One of those reaching out to people was Sue Noble, with the Langley Community Services Society.

A drug and alcohol addiction counsellor, she’s seen people on the long, slow slope towards homelessness.

“It’s not something that happens over night,” she said.

Putting supports in place would prevent people from dropping off that precipice into full homelessness, she believes.

“We need more treatment centres in Langley,” Noble said.

She also does counselling of the loved ones of addicts.

“We’re always trying to reduce the stigma,” she said.

Jessica Huizing of Crystal Vision and Hearing Centre was helping set people up for hearing tests.

“It’s not a first priority for them, but it’s something that can greatly benefit them,” said Huizing.

If there is hearing loss, the provincial government may pay for a hearing aid.

Although this is the second annual event, there was also a senior-focused event with similar groups held in the spring.

Holland noted that after this, much local work with those living on the streets will focus on the cold.

Cold and wet weather emergency shelter alerts can start as early as Nov. 1, with the Salvation Army’s Gateway of Hope Shelter opening extra spaces during downpours and cold snaps.

Pet gala sells out for Furry Tail Endings Animal shelter staff are elated that their annual dinner sold out two weeks ahead of the event.

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Even adding an extra 10 seats at this year’s Furry Tail Endings gala dinner wasn’t enough to keep up with the demand.

The sixth annual fundraising event for the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) is sold out, announced an ecstatic exec-

utive director Sean Baker.

“We have never sold out this far in advance,” he said Saturday, adding with a chuckle.

“We are 100 per cent sold out two weeks before the gala… The madness!”

Every fall, LAPS holds a gala to celebrate the many happy endings that they have helped create for Langley’s stray, lost, and unwanted animals.

Last year’s gala netted approximately $75,000. At $100 per ticket, this semi-formal event is the organization’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and brings together

The new location, at 275th Street and 55th Avenue in the Gloucester Industrial Estates north of Aldergrove, also puts the company closer to the Trans Canada Highway than the old location in western Surrey.

Supporters want Jose to stay here Carrier Week Residents gathered to keep a Langley resident in Canada.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Friends and supporters of Jose Figueroa rallied Saturday to call for the longtime Langley resident to be allowed to stay in Canada.

Several dozen people turned out and lined part of 88th Avenue near the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church, where Figueroa has been staying to avoid deportation.

Pastor Karl Keller said it was heartwarming to see all the people who turned out for the event.

Keller has urged Canada Border Services and immigration officials to use common sense.

Figueroa is originally from El Salvador, and came to Canada more than 15 years ago as a refugee.

Figueroa was a member of the left-wing FMLN, which fought against the forces of the right-wing military government. After the war ended, the FMLN put down its arms and became a legitimate political party.

However, Figueroa has been told he is being expelled because the FMLN is considered a terrorist organization, despite it not appearing on the

of the

public government list of terrorist groups. The current president of El Salvador is a member of the FMLN party.

Also supporting Figueroa and his family were local politicians.

“I think this has gone on long enough, it’s five years!” said Langley City Councillor Rosemary Wallace.

“He is a man of peace,” she said of Figueroa.

Coun. Dave Hall also called for the Canadian government to stop trying to send Figueroa back to El Salvador.

“I want to believe that I live in a country that is humane and compassionate,” he said.

He hoped that rallies like this one would build momentum for change.

Figueroa is remaining in the church, claiming sanctuary.

Although this is not a recognized legal way to avoid deportation, government authorities have long been reluctant to arrest people for deportation from churches.

Figueroa’s wife can remain in Canada, and his children are Canadian citizens as they were born here.

Figueroa told the Langley Advance that he does not want to be separated from his family and consequently be forced to parent his children by phone or Skype.

Jose Figueroa watched the rally from the doorway of the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church on Oct. 19.

Small business comes with big footprint

“Small business” is a misleading concept.

It’s only small until you start crunching the numbers.

And it gets even bigger when you consider the impact that small businesses have – their social footprint – on our communities.

B.C. is a hotbed for small business – defined as businesses that employ 50 people or fewer – with more per capita than anywhere else in Canada.

We have just about 85 small businesses per 1,000 people, just ahead of secondranked Saskatchewan (82 per 1,000), and significantly ahead of third-ranked Alberta (75 per 1,000).

B.C.’s 385,100 small businesses represent 98 per cent of all businesses in the province.

And while more than four out of five small businesses in B.C. can be classified further as “micro-businesses,” employing five or less people (or in many cases, consisting of self-employed individuals) they generate more than a quarter of the province’s gross domestic product.

If those numbers don’t impress, how about these: B.C.’s small businesses shipped $16.9 billion worth of goods internationally in 2010 – more than half of the total value of goods exported from the province that year.

More important, however, is the role that small businesses play in the community, not only as employers and revenue generators – and let’s not forget, as taxpayers – but as friends and neighbours, supporters and organizers of local events and festivities, members of PACs and service clubs, sponsors of kids’ sports and the arts, promoters of the community, and generally, the people we go to when we need goods or services from someone we can trust.

This week is Small Business Week. Help celebrate the role that your neighbours play in making Langley a great community in which to live, work, and play.

Veterans’ treatment criminal

Dear Editor, While I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Harvey [Veterans’ payout plan scandalous, Oct. 17 Letters, Langley Advance], I feel the treatment of our military personnel borders on the criminal.

While living in Port Arthur in the 1960s, I overheard two men in the federal building talking about a Second World War veteran’s request – which was denied – for a new wheelchair or money for adequate repairs. The conversation was centred on the audacity of the veteran’s request.

Regardless of the political party in power

in Canada, the Department of Veterans Affairs is staffed with people who have little or to the no understanding of the sacrifices our military has made in the name of Canada.

The civil service impacts decisions, often negatively.

Until this disparity is resolved or removed, we, as taxpayers, will continue to see inefficiencies and inadequacies in our country, in particular towards the people who have contributed to the peace and freedoms that Canada and other countries enjoy.

Restaurateur’s smile lifts spirits

Dear Editor, On the one-way section of Fraser Highway in Langley City, we are all like family: all the shop owners and workers, and all the many regular clientele.

Today I saw a prime example of it.

Everest Café now has a buffet that the owner, Souman, runs on Friday and Saturday nights. It is food from where he has grown up and what he has learned on his travels, all home-cooked and absolutely amazing! Nepalese food.

My staff went in to dinner tonight after smelling the amazing aroma all down the one-way.

Upon entering, you are

greeted with a big smile and a warm hello from the owner Souman. He is there every day, running the business almost always alone.

He set up our table right away, walked us over to the buffet and handed us plates, and described everything. There was wild boar, coconut chicken, soup, and more. As I sat down to eat, I noticed many other locals coming in. Quite a few were in wheelchairs or barely able to walk. Some looked as if they didn’t really have anyone.

What then happened touched me so much I actually did start to cry.

Souman helped the people find a seat, and if they

Halloween

Fireworks traumatize pets

Dear Editor, My dogs (and I’m sure I am not alone) are traumatized by the use of fireworks, yet every year, we get kids and maybe even some adults who think that it is okay to just let them off, with no consideration for the consequences.

Every year, I have to get drugs from my vet, to make my dogs almost comatose so they can suffer through the October fireworks season.

It is not appropriate, and I’m absolutely frosted to the toes that there appears to be no way of controlling or managing the use.

It is my understanding that fireworks are illegal here in the Township, but like or not, they still find their way into our communities, and quite frankly, I don’t see that bylaw being enforced.

When my dogs come shooting in from what should be a safe place (their backyard) due to the use of illegal fireworks, then I’m an unhappy taxpayer.

I left a message with the bylaw office, but it was at 4:18 p.m. – obviously a little late for a taxpayer-paid employee to get back to me with an answer.

Debbie Atkinson, Langley

couldn’t stand and do the buffet, he did it for them.

He was the only person working, and yet he had the time and patience to make each person feel at home.

He called them all by name, a warm hand on the back, refilled drinks, got them more food, constantly asked if anyone needed anything.

What touched me so much was that many of these were people I see every day walk by my shop, and nobody gives them the time of day. But here in this small cafe, these people were made to feel important – made to feel like someone cared. He knew all little details about each person, their likes and dislikes.

It gave me such and overwhelming feeling, I needed to tell someone.

I think that, in this day and age, we need more of this, more of the small town feel – something we don’t always get from the big businesses.

I think I needed to share this, because I left there with the feeling that I, too, need to do something to make someone’s life a bit easier. No matter how small or how big the effort is, it can change a person – or change many people.

Today, what Souman did affected many people, not just those who needed help, but all of us there.

And to know that this happens each and every day in that cafe gives me such hope!

Appreciation

Studio tour boosted by coverage

Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for the excellent coverage that the Langley Advance gave to the 5th Annual Langley Art Studio Tour.

It is always very encouraging to see the local community paper showcasing the arts with such well-written articles.

This year was our busiest by far, with more than 50 artists in attendance over the last two weekends in September.

TODAY’S FLYERS... in the Call 604-534-8641 for delivery info.

The articles enabled the public a glimpse of what goes on in the artists’ studios throughout the year, and it is a delight to see the wealth of talent Langley has to offer.

All the artists stated that attendance was brisk, which I am sure was due to the coverage given over the two-week period, even if the weather didn’t always cooperate.

Many thanks again, on behalf of the Langley Art Studio Committee.

A new office centre in Langley has opened to offer flexible workspaces for businesses not wanting to sign long-term leases.

Regus has opened a second-floor complex in the Carvolth business park area at 86th Avenue and 201st Street, and Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese cut the ribbon at the official opening on Thursday.

Flexible work spaces have been on an upward trend over the past decade for companies that only need a central office temporarily or for special projects. Individuals who need an office seasonally can also use them instead of a home office.

This centre opened its doors a month ago.

t’s exciting that I’ve been given some this extra space this week, in the midst of the provincial small business week (Oct. 20 to 26), to share more news about all that’s happening in our thriving business community.

And, I have to tell you, there’s a lot happening. More than there’s space for, even here. That in itself is a great statement of affairs for Langley and its economic fortitude.

irst and foremost, the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce will be recognizing a number of local companies and individuals during their Business Excellence Awards dinner on Wednesday night.

I love that this is done in the midst of small business week.

You can stay tuned to the Langley Advance print and online editions to find out who this year’s winners are.

But, in advance, I’d like to congratulate all those who even made the nomination list. It’s a pretty big honour, in my books, to make the shortlist. It tells us you’re the cream of the crop – those who have distinguished themselves.

This is an opportunity to celebrate Langley businesses and organizations that have made a significant contribution to

community spirit, service, and quality of life by demonstrating their outstanding business leadership, innovation and success.

Well the most recent to make the list was Aldergrove’s Maureen and Rob Robinson and their confectionery haven know as Milsean Shoppe on 272nd Street in Aldergrove.

The local, family-run chocolate company had some of their products included in the gift bags for the 34th annual news and documentary segment of the Emmy Awards on Oct. 1.

“It’s quite an honour to be selected as only 30 products are chosen each year and there are a total of 80 gift bags,” Maureen explained.

Their signature product is actually a decadent, old-world butter crush that Maureen perfected from an old Irish family recipe: Milsean Demerara Butter Crunch. It’s made with Fraser Valley butter, Demerara sugar, almonds, and Belgian chocolate.

Milsean started as a home business has grown leaps and bounds in the past 21 years, with the Robinson family now operating a storefront cafe and gift shoppe, as well as their manufacturing centre, out of the old firehall in Aldergrove.

Maureen and Rob, congratulations for making it to Hollywood. I’m sure all who sampled your butter crunch know what I already know – it’s delightful, delicious, and downright delectable.

This year’s event, which runs Nov. 13, is slated to have Bure as the featured guest.

SportsFest is in its third year at the LEC and includes multiple autograph guests over the three day period as well as a large collection of memorabilia and collectibles.

The items, which are featured on more than 100 vendor tables, range from books, cards, jerseys and other memorabilia from the vintage era through to new inventory.

Bure, who was recently inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, was of the most electrifying players of his generation during his time in the National Hockey League.

He will be on stage at the LEC (in the Fieldhouse, located at the east end of the facility) from 10-11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2.

There is an $8 admission charge for anyone over the age of 12 (12 and under are free) to get into the show, which will showcase some of the best sports memorabilia and collectibles in Western Canada.

Bure’s autograph ticket can be purchased for $94 (including all taxes and charges).

Fans who buy a Bure autograph will also receive a free admission to the show that day.

The autograph ticket is good for one autograph on an item of any size. Candid photography is also permitted.

There will only be a limited number (250 available for pre-sale, 50 to be released on Nov. 2) of Bure tickets available. Tickets for the event are now on sale at www.ticketmaster.ca

Park named for volunteer A woman who worked to improve Langley is the namesake for a new community park.

by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Family and friends of Lynn Fripps got together to see the new park that bears her name officially opened in Langley’s Willoughby neighbourhood.

“Our family is extremely honoured that the Township has decided to name this park after Lynn,” said Fripps’s sister Kelly Fripps Cheung.

Fripps was a major volunteer in Langley through the 1990s and into the early 2000s.

She was a member of the Aldergrove Community Enhancement Society, the Aldergrove Revitalization Committee, the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society, and was one of those who drove the formation of Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services, which now provides social aid to all of Langley.

She was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1999, and

Kelly Fripps Cheung talked about her sister, the late Lynn Fripps, at a park opening also attended by School Board Chair Wendy Johnson, left. did a great deal of fundraising for the Canadian Cancer Society and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation before she died in 2005.

Kelly talked about how her sister always encouraged others to get involved.

A plaque reading “Carpe diem,” for “seize the day” was unveiled at the playground on Tuesday.

“Lynn did,” Kelly said.

“By naming this park after Lynn, Langley is honouring a very special person,” said Kelly.

Township Mayor Jack Froese and Langley School Board chair Wendy Johnson also spoke at the

opening.

“When Lynn got involved, things got done,” said Froese.

Johnson said the opening of the park was all about community building, something Lynn valued.

The park is attached to, and shares some facilities with, the Lynn Fripps Elementary school, which has been open for more than a year.

The new park features two soccer fields, a softball diamond, and a children’s playground. It shares its hard court surfaces with the school.

The new park is located at 2101 81A Ave., off the back of the school.

Traffic accident

Family mourns man lost in crash An elderly man who died in a collision was a longtime Langley resident.

The sudden death of Langley’s Jens Peter Bech following an Oct. 14 car crash in Walnut Grove “has left a hole in the heart of all who knew him,” said former Langley School Board chair Joan Bech.

“At 94 years of age, Peter Bech was more alive and filled with curiosity about the world than many who are half his age,” said Bech, his daughter-in-law.

“He was in perfect health, sharp as a tack, and cared deeply about his family, friends and neighbours,” she said.

Jens Peter Bech suffered catastrophic injuries in a two vehicle accident at 88th Avenue and 204th Street at 11 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day. He was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital, but died at 9:50 p.m. surrounded by family mem-

bers, including his sons Soren and Poul, and grandsons Mikel and Dana Bech.

“We are very grateful for the tremendous efforts made by the first responders on the scene, both firefighters and paramedics, and by everyone in the intensive care unit at Royal Columbian,” said Soren.

“Our thoughts are also with the driver of the second vehicle. RCMP officers have advised us that he tried everything possible to avoid the collision,” he said.

Peter and his wife Mildred, Walnut Grove residents, celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary this year.

They emigrated from Denmark in 1958 with the goal of giving more opportunities to their sons Poul and Soren.

“Dad was simultaneously fiercely independent and caring for others,” said Soren.

“Whether it was single-handedly raising our first house so we could walk upright in the basement, designing and sewing costumes for

Halloween parties with their ballroom dancing friends, being a fulltime caregiver when mom was diagnosed with dementia, or consistently beating me at chess, there wasn’t much he couldn’t do.”

“As is the case for everyone dealing with loss, this is a very trying time for our family,” said Poul Bech, also a Langley resident.

“It has been made significantly easier by the kindness and support we’ve received from dad’s many friends and acquaintances, the staff at the Maple Hill care home where dad has visited virtually every day since mom was admitted earlier this year, and especially the tremendous neighbours in the 205B street cul-desac,” he said.

A memorial service for Peter will be held at 1 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 2, at the BCGEU hall, 8555-198A St., Langley. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Alzheimer Society of BC, the Steelhead Society of BC, Sierra Club BC, or the charity of your choice.

Raiders outscore Rams to capture Cullen Cup

The Langley Rams’ season ended in heartbreak Sunday in Nanaimo.

by Troy Landreville and Josh Aldrich

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

www.langleyadvance.com

The Langley Rams’ reign as B.C. Football Conference champions is over.

The Rams lost 48-37 to the Vancouver Island Raiders in the Cullen Cup final Saturday at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo.

For the Raiders, the victory avenged last year’s 20-13 loss to the Rams in the Cullen Cup title game at Caledonia, as they retake the BCFC throne of the seventh time in eight years.

The key play came in the fourth quarter. The Rams appeared to have momentum, having rallied somewhat from Josh Aldrich/Glacier Media a 31-8 second quarter deficit Langley Rams quarterback Jahlani Gilbert-Knorren broke away from Vancovuer Island Raiders linebacker Andrew Rowe as he runs for a by outscoring the Raiders 21-7 through the next two quarters of 38-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter during the BCFC final. The Vancouver Island Raiders won the Cullen Cup 48-37 at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo on Saturday. action.

Kyle Pich also had a big day catching the football for the Rams, hauling in six of GilbertKnorren’s passes for 169 yards.

On the ground, Gilbert-Knorren took the ball under his arm and ran it 11 times for 90 yards.

Running back Kyle Albertini had 13 carries for 70 yards. He also ran the ball for one of the Rams’ touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Raiders quarterback Jaeden Marwick distributed the ball evenly, with six receivers making two catches or more.

Alex Kutra, Dylan Schrot, Alex Thompson, and Dustin Rodriguez caught touchdown passes.

Marwick threw three of them, with Schrot passing for another.

Kutra scored the other Raiders touchdown on a 10-yard scamper.

Kickers Steve Thomas (Langley) and Ryan Jones (V.I.) kicked two field goals each for their respective teams.

The Raiders led 10-3 after the first quarter, 34-11 at halftime, 38-22 after three quarters, and were outscored 15-10 in the final quarter.

In their head coach’s eyes, the Rams showed incredible heart throughout the final.

“They literally left it all on the field and played their hearts out, and we didn’t get the result we wanted,” Kirby said.

During the opening kickoff, Kirby noted that kickoff veteran middle linebacker Joe Patko suffered an injured hamstring.

There was no way Patko was leaving the game, and he finished with three tackles and a quarterback sack.

“You could see on his face that he was in significant pain… and he was back for the [next] defensive series,” Kirby said. “He played the entire game and made some huge plays. As a fifth year guy, there was no way he was not finishing the game. The kid’s not human. He’s a warrior. Any other player would be on the training bench and be done for the game. All these kids showed heart and desire. To see another team hoist the cup you had for a year… it’s tough.”

The Rivermen and Vees battled to a 1-1 tie.

Junior A hockey

Rivermen look to right ship The Langley juniors are playing well defensively of late; they just need some goal support.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

A lot can happen in seven days or less.

For example: last week at this time, the Langley Rivermen were rolling, winners of six in a row.

Today, the ’Men are looking for answers, particularly on offence, after suffering a pair of regulation losses on Langley Events Centre ice, 3-0 to the

Chilliwack Chiefs last Wednesday night and 3-1 to the Prince George Spruce Kings on Sunday afternoon.

Sandwiched between those losses was a hard-fought, 1-1 tie with the Penticton Vees Saturday at the LEC. The good news is, thanks in large part to its win streak earlier this month, the local junior A squad remains perched at the top of the B.C. Hockey League’s Mainland Division with a still-solid 9-5-11 record.

The ’Men are two points up on the Coquitlam Express (8-5-0-2) and Spruce Kings (8-7-1-1) and five points better than the Surrey Eagles (7-8-1). continued on page A23…
