Tasty celebration
The aptly named Justin McIntosh prepared apples for sampling during the Heritage Apple Day held Saturday at Derby Reach Regional Park. Inset left – one-year-old Morgan Friesen munched on a few apples. Inset right – Eagan Nichol had fun in a straw pile. The heritage apples used came from local trees and orchards and represented varieties that can’t be found in local supermarkets. The annual celebration of apples was put on by the Derby Reach-Brae Island Park Association, which also sponsored the event along with Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, Pacific Parklands Foundation, Langley Township, and Tim Hortons.

Man died trying to break into home
The dead man in an Aldergrove homicide investigation was trying to break into a house, according to the police. by Matthew Claxton

A death in Aldergrove may not be a murder, according to the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Two men arrested Wednesday night have been released and police now say the dead man was trying to break into a local home. On Oct. 1, just before 8:30 p.m., Langley RCMP were called to a house in the 27500 block of 32nd Avenue, said Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound, an IHIT spokesperson. Officers found an unconscious man at the scene, and he was rushed to hospital but later pronounced dead. Two men were arrested at the scene.
Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance
Police are on the scene of a murder in Aldergrove. Pound said the victim, who initially was not identified, is 51year-old Clayton Marr. The investigation so far has shown that Marr had broken into one of the two homes at the end of the street near the AbbotsfordLangley border.
A homeowner and a neighbour from the next house then tried to catch and restrain Marr until the police could arrive. Marr passed out before the police got to the house, said Pound. Further evidence gathered since
the incident does not support laying charges at this time, Pound said. The two residents of the street have both been released. IHIT had previously said that neither man had a criminal record. An autopsy on Marr, along with toxicology tests, was being completed Friday to determine the exact cause of death, said Pound. The death on Wednesday was one of two that took place within a few hours, including a murder in Richmond. With a recent spate of killings, IHIT released some statistics on the number and suspected motives of murders this year. IHIT is currently investigating 43 deaths since Jan. 1, 2014. Of those, 21 per cent were thought to be related to organized crime. During the same period in 2013, from Jan 1 to Sept. 30, 41 per cent of IHIT files were suspected of being linked to organized crime. The majority of 2014 investigations have been related to other motives, including fights, domestic disputes, and other, according to Pound.

What’s that smell?
A Langley man was one of two arrested in Osoyoos on suspicion of drug trafficking. On Oct. 5 at 2:55 p.m., members of the South Okanagan Traffic Services and Osoyoos RCMP were doing road checks when they checked a westbound rented moving truck and a Dodge pickup towing a trailer. Both trucks came in a short distance apart, and both smelled strongly of marijuana, said Const. Kris Clark. Two drivers were arrested. A total of 97 mature marijuana plants were seized from the cargo area of the moving truck, and 115 plants from the trailer. A shotgun was seized, along with matching two-way radios. • More online

Traffic
UpFront
The safety of seniors and children was at issue as local residents continued to call on Langley Township council for improved crosswalks. Gary Hee was the latest person to call for safety improvements near the site of September’s fatal accident involving a driver and two elderly pedestrians. Hee lives near the stretch of 72nd Avenue between 200th Street and the Langley-Surrey border where the 83-year-old man was killed and his 79-yearold wife was injured. Hee said his daughter lives even closer. The sides of the road are difficult to walk on, and a deep ditch in one area makes it impossible to walk on the shoulder, Hee said. He said the Township and Surrey need to work on cross walks and stop signs for the area. “Eight years is a long time to wait,” said Hee. The problems will only get worse as more people move in with new development, he said. “The population count in that area is undoubtedly increasing,”
Adrienne Alford-Burt said the Township needs to improve sidewalks and crosswalks near two Willoughby schools. Above inset – Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance Gary Hee spoke about the need for crosswalks and sidewalks on 72nd Avenue. Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance
said Hee. That will also increase traffic. He wants to know why some side streets in the area have sidewalks, but a major road like 72nd Avenue does not. Langley Township’s policy has been to expand roads and build sidewalks by having developers build them. In areas where development is patchy, like much of Willoughby, this has resulted in areas where sidewalks abruptly end and roads suddenly narrow
as they pass undeveloped land. Similar points were raised by Adrienne Alford-Burt, another delegate Monday. She was calling for improved crosswalks at Lynn Fripps Elementary and the newly-opened Yorkson Middle School, in north Willoughby. “Neither of these crosswalks are functionally complete,” said Alford-Burt. There’s a lack of lighting, of advance signage, and of speed control measures, she said. A crosswalk on 84th Avenue
near Yorkson ends in a ditch on the north side of the road, she said. The designs are not inclusive of disabled people, said AlfordBurt. When councillors mentioned why parts of the sidewalk network aren’t finished – some land in the area around Yorkson aren’t developed yet – AlfordBurt said she doesn’t expect developers to build sidewalks for other people’s children, it’s the responsibility of the government.

Kositsky vies for Township council seat A longtime former councillor is running for office again this fall in Langley Township. guide to

accredited collision repairs...
Longtime Langley Township councillor and former mayoral candidate Mel Kositsky is hoping to get back on the council this fall.
Kositsky served on council from 1993 to 2011, for 18 years. In 2011 he was one of three mayoral contenders, coming in second in the vote tally to Jack Froese. “Doing more with less is a priority as Langley residents have reached the boiling point when it comes to taxation levels, user fees and tolls,” Kositsky said in a statement. “An updated long-term financial plan will be required based on today’s economic conditions and expectations.”
Allstar Collision
He said one of the key issues for the Township is managing growth and related problems, including transportation and public safety. He suggested more crime prevention initiatives are needed to help keep policing costs down. “There was much too much confrontation and too many expensive legal battles during the past term,” Kositsky said. “This cannot continue.” During his time on council, Kositsky was involved with
groups such as the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and the Lower Mainland Local Government Association, as well as serving on the Metro Vancouver parks committee. He is a board member of the Pacific Parklands Foundation. His career before politics included working as a reporter and newspaper editor, and he currently writes freelance for publications geared at seniors.

Only working detectors work
Working smoke alarms save lives. They’re words to live by, and quite appropriately, they’re the theme for this year’s Fire Prevention Week. Many times we’ve all been apprized of the importance of having smoke alarms in our homes. They save lives. It’s what we’re told, and it really doesn’t take being told to realize that that must be true – it’s simple common sense. Smoke detectors have been the focus of Fire Prevention Weeks several times over the years, which further emphasizes the importance attributed to them by professional fire responders – the folks who certainly know better than the rest of us how effective and necessary they are. They are the folks who get to clean up the mess when fire breaks out in a home where no smoke detectors have been installed… or when the smoke alarms that have been installed don’t work. It’s true that smoke detectors aren’t 100 per cent effective – but the numbers work out very much in favour of lives that are saved (or homes that have been rescued from total oblivion). It’s like seat belts in your car – they might not save your life in a serious situation, but your odds of survival are greatly enhanced. But smoke detectors only work if they… well… work. And that’s the real focus of this year’s Fire Prevention Week: make sure your smoke detector isn’t just installed, but that it is working properly. Past campaigns have prompted us all to test our smoke detectors at the time changes from Standard Time to Daylight Saving Time. And while that’s better than letting your detectors slowly die and become ineffective on your ceilings and walls, the push now is to advance our efforts towards monthly checks. Seriously, it’s your life and the lives of your family that we’re talking about. – B.G.

Spiders, politicians seeking love Like spiders, they’ll just pop up unexpectedly or someone says something or does something that shatters my personal reality, and there they are, flooding into my consciousness and wreaking havoc on my existence.

Gun club’s noise out of time What will your
Dear Editor, The property tax exemptions list in the Langley Advance got me to wondering about the things we value in our community. I saw that the Langley Rod and Gun Club gets an exemption of almost $30,000, almost as much as Langley Hospital, and I wondered how they compare as assets to the community. During the summer, and even now, the noise from the gun club makes it difficult to enjoy the peace and quiet of one’s backyard, of “life in the country,” as the ads tell us. We all recognize that noise is disruptive, whether reading the paper, writing a poem, or talking to a neighbour, but the people of Brookswood are often subjected to a daily barrage that sometimes starts before 7 a.m. We have laws about construction noise, engine brakes, vehicles without mufflers, barking dogs, cannons on blueberry farms, but in Langley, we have a high school right beside the shooting range. It doesn’t make a lot of sense. It doesn’t take a lot to disrupt a student’s concentration, and possibly failing the next test. Laws against “disturbing the peace” have been on the books of civilized countries a
long time. I bet the kids could suggest a video game replacement to the shooters. Last June, the Salt Spring Gun Club was forced to close after 55 years, after a local couple took them to court over the impact of noise on their animals. Lower Mainland clubs have been Letters forced to close. All of those comto the munities found the noise of shooting incompatible with a modern, built-up community. The Langley Gun Club doesn’t Editor seem to be trying to endear itself to local residents, with its early morning shooting. I have heard them on Sunday mornings, as well, so no respect for church-goers or for people who like to sleep in Sundays. One of the values we try to encourage in our youth is social responsibility and consideration for others, and noise is recognized as disruptive to our lives, like cigarette smoke used to be to our breathing. Isn’t it time to reclaim our “private space?” With the municipal elections coming soon, maybe a few councillors could put this in their platforms, but I won’t hold my breath. Gerry Hayne, Brookswood

Traffic safety
Tail-gaters entitled to no sense
Dear Editor, As I drive around the Lower Mainland, I find more and more the tendency of a lot of motorists to engage in the practise of “tailgating.” It seems that no matter what the speed limit, nor the speed at which a
large number of vehicles are travelling, someone always needs to cling to a rear bumper in a dangerous and illegal way. Did the lady in black Chevy SUV on Tuesday, 4:15 p.m., eastbound on 16th Avenue, really believe
What you’re telling us on Facebook In view of concerns about inadequate •sidewalks, brought to Township council,
we asked, “Are pedestrians safe on Langley roads?” These were among the responses: KT Trondsen – Tons of pedestrians are struck every year in Langley, including cyclists. Partially, the problem is with all the aggressive drivers we have here. I was almost run over with my stroller, twice, walking across a crosswalk last month. It’s ridiculous! Aaron Sifo-Dyas – Willoughby is a hodge podge of random sidewalks and lack of safe crossings, over four lanes of traffic in areas. Why are we waiting for a tragedy to happen before action is taken? Additionally, why does it take weeks or months after road work completion to paint new lines on the road in this area? People don’t know where they are going or if they are in a turning lane or not. Valorie York – I was hit by a car in the Tim Horton’s parking lot at 264th and Fraser Hwy. I was passing through to go to the grocery store, not being a Timmy’s patron. I just felt safer cutting through there. Now I don’t feel safe anywhere in the area of Fraser Hwy. and 32 Ave. No safe pedestrian walking spot. I’ve called many times and had Rich Coleman’s office call those in charge of getting a sidewalk on 264th St. between 32 Ave. and Fraser Hwy. in Aldergrove. Where you have to walk now is actually the right hand turn lanes. You have to watch for right corner turners, or u will get hit. The city and Coleman’s office both agree there needs to be a sidewalk, as it’s a high-traffic area. We have been told there was a meeting about this spot and a sidewalk being built. Our guess was to hush us up on asking. I’ve lived here 25 years plus, and I can’t count how many times I’ve cursed about feeling unsafe due to no designated pedestrian walkway.
that tailgating me for miles on end would somehow change her situation? There were perhaps 100 cars ahead, all going above the posted 60 km/h speed limit, yet she chose to stick to my rear bumper. I finally could take it no more, so I turned off at 240th Street, only to see her speed up and perform the same game on the red pickup that was ahead of me. Is it a sense of entitlement, or is such a person just a bully? I really would like to know what motivates tail-gaters. Wayne Boylan, Aldergrove

No permanent parking for 80th A major Willoughby road won’t get on street parking, council decided Sept. 29.
single-family homes with garages and driveways. The Township report examined six options. Several of them could have removed some of the travel lanes, or the bike lanes that exist along parts of 80th Avenue. Arguing that those options would be a bad idea was Paul Cordeiro, manager of transportation engineering for the Township. “This is probably one of the most critical east-west connectors the Township is going to have,” Cordeiro said. While 80th is somewhat busy now, it is expected to be a much more important corridor within a few years. “This is similar to the scale of a 200th Street or a 208th Street,” Cordeiro said. Engineers also opposed the addition of parking for traffic safety reasons. Instead, the Township engineers recommended leaving 80th Avenue as a four-lane road with bike lanes. Only part of the street is fully four-laned at present. Resident Ashish Kapoor, one of the neighbours who have been keeping the
by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
There will be no onstreet parking on 80th Avenue in Willoughby, but Langley Township will consider a temporary parking lot and other changes. Parking has been an issue around Willoughby for some time, particularly around 80th Avenue between 208th Street and 212th Street. Last year, residents there successfully argued for temporary on-street parking along 80th Avenue during the holiday season, so relatives could visit more easily. A group of locals has been lobbying for changes since then, saying that the existing parking is inadequate. After a presentation by Township traffic engineers, the council voted against any major changes, and won’t add permanent new parking lanes along 208th Street. Instead, the council voted in favour of asking residents of nearby 79A and 80A Streets if they are in favour of switching to time-limited parking. Most of the homes in the area are townhouses or
issue in front of the council, favoured options that would have removed curbside travel lanes to add more parking spaces. He said that he was in favour of the plan to have time-limited parking along parallel roads. “We’re hoping that the time limited parking on local roads will be permanent,” Kapoor said. While he favoured removing travel lanes now, Kapoor said he knows that eventually the road will be fully widened and the parking spots would be lost again. The engineers gave several other options, and the council voted eight-to-one in favour of adopting one of those and looking at another. In addition to limiting parking to between two and four hours along nearby roads, the council asked for a report on building a temporary gravel parking lot at 80th and 212th Street. The lot could cost about $50,000, and like street parking on 80th, it would last between three and five years until the roads are fully widened.

Waldo and Tubbs Pet Food & Supplies brought snakes, tarantulas and chameleons for zombies to pose with and for photos by donation. Organizers expected about 50 people to show up at last year’s walk, and more than 300 took part. “So we went for it again this year,” Murphy said, estimating that at least as many people as last year came out to become a zombie on The second annual Fort Langley Zombie Walk on Saturday, Oct. 4 Saturday. celebrated the macabre – all in good fun.

EXPERTS
Q: Do you have any low odor or no smell paint available?
A:
Yes! We have a selection of interior zero VOC (volatile organic compounds) available.
Our Dulux Lifemaster is our top selling product. It is zero VOC when white, and very low VOC when tinted. It offers not only no smell but exceptional ease of use, wash ability and stain resistance. We produce Lifemaster as a drywall sealer primer, ceiling paint and a flat, eggshell, pearl, or semigloss finish. Additionally, our Dulux Kitchen and Bath line offers all the same qualities as our Lifemaster, but has extra mildewcides in it allowing it to hold up better in high moisture areas and is available in eggshell and semigloss finish. We have recently launched our new Zero VOC line of contractor grade products. Zero VOC Ultra features excellent hide and touch up properties, and is available in flat, eggshell, pearl or semigloss finishes. Whether you are environmentally conscious, sensitive to paint fumes, pregnant or have children or pets in the house; we have a product that will work for your entire family anywhere in your home!

or am coming down with the flu?
18th Annual Celebration of Excellence
A: Symptoms of the common cold appear
gradually and predictably. Usually the first symptom is a scratchy throat, followed by sneezing, a runny nose, and cough. The runny nose may turn stuffy, with the mucous turning thick and yellow. Feeling tired and run-down is common. Most colds stick around for 5-7 days, but may last longer.
In either case, rest, fluids, and specific over-the-counter medications can help you get back to feeling like yourself again. Come by and meet us at Target Pharmacy if you have any questions. We’re happy to help!

Junior A hockey
Rivermen experience rollercoaster weekend Langley’s juniors played three tight, competitive games over the weekend, winning one, losing one, and collecting an overtime point in their home opener. The Langley Rivermen started their weekend off on the right skate, but things went just a little bit downhill from there. But, from a glass half-full perspective, Langley’s junior A hockey team managed to collect points in two of their three games this weekend. The Rivermen edged the host Coquitlam Express 5-4 on Friday, earned a single point in a 3-2 double overtime loss at home to the Nanaimo Clippers on Saturday, and finished the weekend with a 3-1 road defeat at the hands of the Surrey Eagles on Sunday afternoon. After the weekend results, the Rivermen are 2-3-0-1 and remain in third place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Mainland Division. Surrey Eagles 3, Rivermen 1 It’s not the way the Rivermen wanted to round out their weekend, losing 3-1 to the Eagles, who earned their first win of the season after opening the campaign at 0-4-0-2. The Rivermen showed signs of fatigue, playing their third game in as many days. Surrey got on the board early, scoring two minutes in, as Joseph Drapluk netted his first of the season on the power play. Langley answered with Ryan Coulter scoring his first of the campaign on a feed from Jordan Schneider. The Eagles notched the eventual game winner with just under six minutes to play in the first period, after Ben Vikich converted on a Rivermen turnover. Surrey took a 2-1 lead to the dressing room after the first period. The Eagles added one more late in the second period, when John Wesley put one past Langley goaltender Bo Didur.
It was a rather uneventful third frame as neither team could score. The Eagles basically ran out the clock, securing the 3-1 victory. Nanaimo Clippers 3, Rivermen 2 (double overtime) The Rivermen fell short in their home opener at the Langley
Events Centre on Saturday night. Sheldon Rempel scored his team-leading sixth goal of the season with 20 seconds to go in the three-on-three double overtime period, while first star Guillaume Decelles stopped 31 shots to give Nanaimo its fourth straight win.

“It was exciting back and forth hockey,” Rivermen assistant coach Kurt Astle said. “That’s what the fans came to see. I thought our guys generated opportunities, but it came down to execution and their goalie stood on his head and I tip my hat to him. We were on the wrong side of a few unlucky bounces.” Vanderkamp described his goaltender, Decelles, as “good backbone for us.” “We went after him hard in the summer to get him to come play here and it’s worked out really for us,” Vanderkamp said. “He really shined tonight and stole the game for us.” Brendan Gulka scored shorthanded in the first period as the Rivermen took a 2-1 lead, but once again Langley got into penalty trouble, taking seven minor penalties in the game, giving up one power play goal. “That’s something we’re still working on,” Astle said. “Some of our guys stepped up and had some big games and we still The game was tied at two after need some of our veterans to 40 minutes of play.

Junior B hockey
Kodiaks look to snap slide Aldergrove’s junior B team is aiming to get back on track when it hosts the cross-town rival Langley Knights at Aldergrove Arena.
by Troy Landreville
tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
The Aldergrove Kodiaks’ topsy-turvy season continues. The Kodiaks headed into October on a two-game win streak, and looking good at 3-1-1-1. That changed over a three-day period. On Wednesday, the defending Pacific Junior Hockey League champion Kodiaks fell 5-2 on home ice to the Mission City Outlaws. Then, on Friday, they lost 5-3 to the host Abbotsford Pilots at MSA Arena. Even having lost two in a row, the Kodiaks, at 33-1-1, sit tied with the 4-3 Langley Knights for second place in the Harold Brittain Conference standings, one point back of front-running Abbotsford (4-3-0-1). Just three points separate the first place Pilots from the cellar-dwelling
Ridge Meadows Flames in the five-team conference. Abbotsford Pilots 5, Kodiaks 3 The Kodiaks had a 3-2 lead on the Pilots going into the third period. Abbotsford took over in the third, scoring the only three goals of the frame to earn the victory. It was a mirror image of the first period, when the Pilots jumped out to a 2-0 lead. The Kodiaks ruled the second frame, scoring three unanswered goals off the sticks of Aaron Markin, with two, and Eric Callegari. Kolten Grieve and Mark Ledlin each scored twice for the Pilots. Brady Lawlor had the other Abbotsford goal. Both of Grieve’s goals came in the third period. Mission City Outlaws 5, Kodiaks 2 The Outlaws surprised the Kodiaks by outshooting them 40-30 and outscoring them by a threegoal margin.
Mission’s power play made the Kodiaks pay for their indiscretions, cashing in on three of five opportunities with the man advantage. Both of the Kodiaks’ goals, from Jordan Funk and Elvis Jansons, came on the power play. Mission led 3-2 after 40 minutes and scored the only two goals of the third frame. Landen Matechuk scored twice for the visitors, who also got goals from Bryce Pisiak, Justin Bowerman, and Bakshi Gill. Brock Padgham had a three-point night, all assists, for the Outlaws. ICE CHIPS: The Kodiaks will be tested Wednesday when they host the Langley Knights at Aldergrove Arena. Langley is coming off a big 9-3 win over Ridge Meadows in a game played last Thursday at the George Preston Recreation Centre in Brookswood. Game time for the Knights/Kodiaks game is 7:15 p.m.
Torrel tallies two in Rivermen win …continued from page A18 Envision Financial matched her proceeds and donated $2,000 to the Food Drive. Rivermen 5, Coquitlam Express 4 Powered by a big third period, the Rivermen won their second straight game, hanging on to defeat the Express 5-4 at Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. Gage Torrel led the charge for Langley with two goals, including the game winner early in the third period, and an assist. Captain Kevan Kilistoff and Jake Zeleznikar each had two points in the victory. The Rivermen once again looked impressive with the man advantage, scoring twice in under a minute late in the first period as Torrel and Matthew Graham netted power play markers. “The power play came up big again for us,” Rivermen associate head coach Jon Calvano said. “Coquitlam got two power play goals as well, so our penalty kill has to be just as effective as our power play. We got to really focus on winning the draws, block-

Despite being outshot 42-32, Coquitlam kept it close thanks to Corey Mackin. The Express forward scored a natural hat trick, including two on the man advantage in a losing cause. Cameron Bertsch scored the fourth Express goal. Bo Didur picked up his first win in a Rivermen jersey, stopping 28 shots in the victory. “We’ve made improvements throughout each game,” Calvano said. “The first two games, we didn’t get the wins, but the last two, we’re clicking a little better and just improving on different parts of the game.” FINAL BUZZER: The Rivermen are in Prince George next, to battle the Mainland Division leading Spruce Kings on Thursday and Friday night. – With files from Kevin Berar, Langley Events Centre
