The Wall O’Lanterns Festival has been cancelled for 2014, but will hopefully be back in 2015, said Aldergrove Business Association president Ken Kendall. Without necessary sponsorship, the $10,000 budget can’t be secured, so the merchants’ group was “unfortunately unable to move forward,” he said. “I would like to deeply thank those Aldergrove businesses and individuals who stepped up and got us to about half our goal,” Kendall said. “You are all to be appreciated for your generosity of your time, money, and support, and for your commitment to the community.” The hope, he said, is to have the Wall event back in 2015, and “to make it an even better and bigger community event going forward.”

I highly recommend Shayne and all the staff at Laminate Warehouse. The price point, quality & their knowledge of the product is second to none. Being a bit of a DIY guy, I've installed a few different types of laminate flooring over the years and their QUICK LOCK system is so easy to install even my 6 year old was helping out! I've referred Laminate Warehouse to family members & clients and have only heard positive feedback. My Mom just had some carpet replaced and she was extremely happy with the service and quality...we would strongly recommend LAMINATE WAREHOUSE to anyone considering new flooring!...........

Global perspective

World Food Day biggest in Langley A children’s choir from halfway around the world will perform in Langley. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

The African Children’s Choir started with a single voice, from a child in Uganda. In 1977, choir founder Ray Barnett offered a boy a car ride, from the boy’s decimated home to the safety of another village. The child sang the whole way. Barnett lived in Vancouver most of his life and started Friends In The West, to help persecuted Christians in Russia and Iron Block countries. He travelled to Uganda, doing humanitarian work for Friends in the West during former Ugandan president’s Idi Amin’s reign in the 1970s. “Idi Amin was persecuting Christians, burning down churches, that type of thing,” Barnett’s daughter Rheanne Lechkobit recently said, during an interview at the Music for Life office on the Langley Bypass. The concert is just part of the experience. The goal is to raise awareness of the need of destitute and orphaned children in Africa while raising funds for African Children’s Choir programs. Lechkobit, who is the Music For Life operations director and oversees finance, administration, and field work for the organization internationally, spent a few months touring with the first choir 30 years ago. She keeps in touch with members of the inaugural choir. Choir alumni have gone on to become doctors, lawyers, and social workers. Music for Life employees visit African villages where children audition for spots, based on their singing and dancing ability, along with their social skills. “Not every child can be in the choir but we do have a couple thousand kids in our child spon-

You can step outside of your own bubble and realize that you can be part of the difference, and can make a difference.” Toycen is retiring from his position with World Vision, so this will be his final World Food Day event. “Food For Famine Society partners with World Vision with the work that we do,” Martini said. “Considering how many years he’s been with World Vision and what he’s accomplished, and his passion for children – he’s such an inspiration.” To attend World Food Day RSVP online at www.worldfooddaycanada.ca.

that violates the sacredness of marriage between a man and a woman.” Amundsen went on to say that Amaruk is not a Christian organization and he believes that Christianity destroyed the Norse culture, tradition and way of life. After getting over her shock at the response, Paquette fired off an email to Amundsen, signing it “God Bless” in, she admits, an attempt to provoke him. She received another response from Amundsen – which stated that graduates from Trinity Western are not welcome at Amaruk – plus emails from Amaruk’s Christopher Fragassi-Bjornsen, Dwayne Kenwood-Bjornsen and Arkyn Borg. “I was definitely surprised with how many responses I got back and how much worse they got with each one,” Paquette said. “It was definitely really hurtful and it made me really angry to be discriminated against so harshly when I’d just applied for a job.” Paquette filed the human rights complaint Sept. 30 because she wants to make sure that Amaruk doesn’t discriminate against future job applicants. In an emailed statement, Amaruk said Paquette was “eminently unqualified” for an assistant guide internship position. The statement does not address the comments made about Paquette’s religious beliefs or university education. Trinity Western spokesman Guy Saffold said Paquette’s situation is “completely unprecedented” at the school and he hopes it’s an isolated incident.

A Trinity Western University graduate has filed a human rights complaint against a Norwegian wilderness company she says targeted her religious beliefs. In September, Bethany Paquette, who is 23 years old and graduated from Trinity Western in the spring with a degree in biology, applied to Amaruk Corp. for a position as a winter assistant guide intern. The next day, she received an email reply from wilderness guide and instructor Olaf Amundsen. Amundsen told Paquette that she did not meet the minimum requirements for the position outlined on the company’s website. Paquette said the rejection was “not a big deal.” It was what came next that shocked her. “Additionally, considering you were involved with Trinity Western University, I should mention that, unlike Trinity Western University, we embrace diversity, and the right of people to sleep with or marry whoever they want, and this is reflected within some of our staff and management,” Amundsen wrote. The evangelical Christian university requires students and faculty to sign a Community Covenant that includes a pledge to abstain from “sexual intimacy

Mayoral races gain candidates

New candidates have declared for mayoral races in the Langleys. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Ray Lewis is a longtime Langley City resident, Serena Oh is a relative newcomer to the Township, but both of them are now running for mayor in their respective communities. Lewis is making his first run for elected office in decades, having last run for school board back when former City mayor Peter Fassbender first ran. “I’m really not a political animal,” said Lewis. At the time he had children in school and saw problems with the system. Now he said it’s problems in the City that have prompted him to run for mayor. “I live in it, I live right down in the core,” he said. Lewis is worried about crime, mental illness, drug addiction, and homelessness in the City, and says not enough is being done to fight those problems. The City is a “soft tar-

This sassy, outgoing, girl came into LAPS in bad condition, a little thin and was actually pulling out her hair due to stress. She gets along with other animals as long as they give her space and don’t bother her too much. Francine is affectionate but like a typical lady... it is on her own terms! A cat-savvy individual might be the ideal adopter for this gal. She is quite vocal and is not afraid to tell you, “I would like some attention!” She looks very precious when she scrunches up her little chin while she enjoys a good ol’ chin scratch! At 7 years old, Francine is very deserving of a pampered princess life, if you feel like you can give that to her, please ask staff about adoption.

Help dispatchers save those lives

Many lives have been saved by a quick 9-1-1 call. This is roughly how it works: A number of dispatchers sit in a room, waiting for your emergency call, and as quickly as they figure out exactly what you need, they connect you with the best help for your immediate needs, whether it’s dispatching an ambulance to your medical emergency, calling out the police to stop an assault, sending out a fire alarm to the nearest fire station, or maybe connecting you to the Poison Control Centre. On top of that, they are trained to help talk you through steps you can take – perhaps some first aid, or advice on how to avoid the burglar ransacking your downstairs – while you’re waiting for emergency responders to come to your rescue. But here’s the thing: they don’t always have the luxury of waiting for your call. They can already be engaged in other people’s emergencies – or dealing with time-wasting calls from people who bother them with minor problems, people who call in error, or worse still, hoax calls. Time wasted on an unnecessary 9-1-1 call is time that might be delaying emergency response to someone truly in need. A hoax literally can be deadly. Emergency responders will tell you that, when in doubt, by all means make the call. But be sensible. Sometimes callers accidentally hit their 91-1 speed dial, or their smart phones might “pocket dial” the emergency request number. In such cases, it is important that you do NOT hang up until you have spoken to the dispatcher. Clearly and succinctly indicate that the call was accidental, or they will spend valuable time trying to locate you, on the chance that you are in danger. And remember, intentional hoax calls are taken seriously. The consequences of such calls are potentially fatal for someone waiting for the response you’re delaying, and consequently can include serious criminal charges for you. – B.G.

Misspending raises tax hike fears

Dear Editor, Our City mayor and council are seeking another fouryear term. Good luck with that. Let’s see what we have to look forward to. In the past three years they have transformed McBurney Lane into a white elephant at a cost of

$1,000,000-plus. It was a beautiful place to have a coffee and sandwich before this destruction. Now it is a disgrace. You can visit it as it was on the City website. They tore down the Timms Centre because it needed repairs, and they are building a $14,000,000

Langley Township

Water project a boondoggle

Dear Editor, Before the upcoming municipal election, would someone on council have the intestinal fortitude to call for an independent audit of the East Langley water supply project? Those of us in the area have been subjected to abhorrent living conditions since this project first entered our lives in April. Last spring. I sincerely believe the contractors’ ineptitude together with the Township’s very poor planning and overseeing will make this $35 million-plus boondoggle one of the worst in the sorry history of Langley Township’s wasting of our taxpayers’ dollars. Win Bromley, Langley Township

replacement. I would guess that they could have done any needed repairs for the cost of tearing it down. Let’s see, $15,000,000 that the City has and is spending on what we really do not need, plus the cost of tearing down Timms – probably in the $200,000 range. Then they find they do not have enough money to service the infrastructure. They need $500,000 for that. Where do they go for that? Well, the taxpayers, of course, with a property tax increase. You can bet there will be more increase in the taxes. These people just spend and spend. They do not know how to look after the treasury, and they want us to give them the key to it for another four years. Good luck with that. Will Ramage, Langley

RT Russian propaganda machine

Dear Editor, Perhaps John Beeching [Industry must catch up with public, Sept. 29 Letters, Langley Advance] is not up on current media motives, but he is being duped by RT-America.

RT is an acronym for Russia Today. RT-America is an English language cable news channel operated by the Kremlin in Moscow and Washington DC. It is Putin’s propaganda outlet, spreading disinformation.

Salmon River worth protecting

Dear Editor, River’s day along the banks of the Salmon River at Williams Park was a huge success in many dimensions. The wonderful weather, the leadership of LEPS, and the free BBQ sponsored by the Salmon River Enhancement Society and supported by the Otter Co-op, Bonetti Meats, J.D. Farms, McDonalds Stoves, and the Aldergrove Credit Union allowed us to feed more than 450 people gratis. More importantly, the young families that attended River’s Day will hopefully one day form a constituency to ensure that the Salmon River becomes Langley’s Stanley Park. Stanley Park is an icon in Vancouver which no developer or council initiative can touch. This status should be conferred on Langley’s Salmon River. Dr. Don J. DeVoretz, Salmon River Enhancement Society

NATO Secretary Anders Rasmussen announced that Russian intelligence was covertly funding environmental organizations in mounting a sophisticated disinformation campaign aimed at undermining attempts to exploit alternative energy (fracking/shale gas), especially in Europe. It’s also aimed at stopping North American Liquefied Natural Gas exports to Europe, to protect the Russian gas export market. Putin doesn’t give a hoot about climate change. Be skeptical and think critically, as there are a lot of deceptive, hidden agendas out there.

CommunityLinks… Triumphs ensure shelter gala sold out Fundraising Langley Animal Protection Society

The pet shelter sold all tickets for its annual fundraising event, but auction items are welcome. by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Picked up near the South Aldergrove Athletic Park a year back, Gonzo is a prime example of a how a neglected dog’s life can become a Furry Tail Ending. Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) is preparing for its seventh annual fall fundraising dinner, dance, and auction that is aptly named the Furry Tail Endings Gala. Gonzo’s story is just one of the successes to boast about at the soldout event Nov. 1. It’s thanks to sponsors, donors, and staff that this event helps raise close to $85,000 annually for the Aldergrove-based animal shelter, Sean Baker, executive director for LAPS, said. But it’s triumphs like Gonzo’s that help inspire people to help and give. Turns out this “awkward” but “endearing” pit bull was ill when he came into LAPS, Baker explained. It is not uncommon for animals to come into the shelter sick or unhealthy, he elaborated. But the type and degree of Gonzo’s medical issues, combined with his determined spirit and will to survive, “definitely” made him impossible to forget. By Gonzo’s fourth visit to the animal shelter, he had won the hearts of most of the LAPS staff. His former owner had retrieved him several times, but last fall the dog was surrendered. “We were delighted when Gonzo was finally left with us, because he clearly wasn’t getting the love and care he needed,” he said. Gonzo had large bald patches all

Turned out he was suffering from a bad skin infection that had gone untreated, and required heavy duty antibiotics and medicated baths. That cleared up, but turned out to be only a hint of his bigger issues. Fainting spells were much more concerning for the shelter staff. Baker said Gonzo would fall over and be unable to move for several “heart-stopping seconds” at a time. X-rays turned up a shocking discovery. To this day, they don’t know why he was fainting. They did discover 42 pieces of metal in his stomach – he’d eaten a variety of screws and nails that were threatening his life and were surgically removed. But the health woes don’t end there. “While all this was going on, Gonzo’s new family was waiting patiently for him to be well enough to go home with them,” Baker said. Rachele and Aaron Dunne first learned of Gonzo on Facebook and

said they had to meet him. “They were looking for a dog who would be a great companion for their senior pit bull, Ricky, and who was sweet and friendly enough to go to work with them every day,” Baker said. Gonzo won them over too, despite his medical issues, and they have never wavered in their belief he was the right dog to join their family. “Even with devoted care, he suffered from chronic ear infections, struggled to keep weight on and had such weak hind legs that he could only go on very short walks,” he said. It turns out Gonzo suffers from severe allergies to “pretty much everything” and needs special food. Within weeks of changing his diet, his problems began to clear up, and Baker said today Gonzo doesn’t even look like the same dog. “Now that he’s feeling great, Gonzo has come out of his shell and is tons of fun to have around. He loves taking leisurely walks, sleeping in on rainy days, and getting lots and lots of cuddle time. He learns more about the world every day, and is finally seeing how wonderful life can be,” Baker said. For those interested in finding out just how good life is for Gonzo, check this out. He has a blog: http:// furevergonzo.blogspot.ca/

Auction items needed

The theme for this year’s gala is “there’s no place like home,” and in this takeoff from The Wizard of Oz combined with the event’s close proximity to Halloween, Baker expects many of the 460 people attending will be in costume. Baker said much of his team’s efforts are currently focused on acquiring silent and live auction items. To donate, call the shelter at 604-857-5055.

Spruce Kings

Langley Rivermen goaltender Bo Didur posted a shutout in a win over Prince George.

A pair of second period goals and stellar goaltending was what the Langley Rivermen needed in a big 2-0 win over the host Spruce Kings in Prince George on Thursday. Forwards Brendan Gulka and Hunter Anderson scored less than two minutes apart and Bo Didur turned aside all 39 shots for his first career BCHL shutout. “Bo was outstanding,” Rivermen assistant coach Kurt Astle said. “We went through a couple of lulls where he made some key saves to keep the momentum going and kept us in the game.” After a scoreless first period, Langley found its groove in the second, thanks to a nice feed from Gage Torrel, who picked up his team leading eighth point of the season, finding Brendan Gulka to make it 1-0 for the Rivermen. On the next shot on goal, Hunter Anderson scored his first of the season past Alex BrooksPots, making it 2-0 Langley. “We’ve been harping on playing a full 60 minutes and this is as close as it gets for us this season,” Astle said. “Our defense really dictated the play – we got pucks out early, got them to the forwards and our team defense was great.” “Our line played really well tonight,” said Hunter Anderson. “I got a feed right in the middle and just put it home. It felt good to finally get on the score sheet.” The Rivermen and Spruce Kings played Friday night, but results are not available due to holiday weekend early press deadlines. Tomorrow night (Wednesday, Oct. 15) the Rivermen are back on home ice to host the Surrey Eagles. Game time at the Langley Events Centre is 7 p.m.
