Mayor Jack Froese secured his second term with a convincing victory Saturday in Langley Township.

Froese beat Rick Green, who had served as mayor from 2008 to 2011.

Froese won with 13,186 votes, almost 60 per cent of the total votes cast for mayor. Green took 7,595 for 34.4 per cent, while Serena Oh, a newcomer to Langley politics, took 1,255, or 5.7 per cent.

With a new term secured, Froese said he will focus on the challenges that lay ahead in the rapidly growing, and developing Township.

“Our last three years, our last 20 years, has been [about] the growth of Langley,” Froese said, just after learning he had been elected for a second term. “With

the Brookswood [Fernridge Official Community] plan, it depends on what council wants to do with it, but what we have to do is engage the public in a better way, and I think that’s important.”

With that in mind, Froese said he’s looking at forming a task force to examine “what we’re doing as far as public engagement, and how we can improve on that. Then, if council wants to move ahead with those [Brookswood/Fernridge] plans, then at least we’ll have a better road map.”

The campaign was a difficult one, but made candidates, especially incumbents, “accountable to the people,” Froese said.

“This allowed me to say what I want to do, but proud of what we’ve done in the last three years, but we certainly have more to do,” Froese said.

“We’ve got a lot of infrastructure that needs to be fixed, we’ve got roads that need to be done.

Willoughby is growing and there are a lot of concerns there, and it’s going to take some good management and a good, sound council to move that forward.” continued on page A3…

Schaffer cements position as City’s mayor Langley City’s acting mayor is now the mayor with a fouryear term.

Supporters and family react as acting mayor Ted Schaffer reads out numbers from the Langley City election.

He beat out candidates Randy Caine and Ray Lewis.

by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

www.stampede.ca

Ted Schaffer remains in the mayor’s chair in Langley City, and all the incumbent councillors who were seeking re-election are staying on.

Schaffer’s first feeling upon hearing the results was not elation but relief.

“You can’t take anything for granted in life,” he said. “The other candidates were working very hard as well.”

While Schaffer has run for a council seat in the past, going for the mayor’s chair is a new, tougher challenge because all those running were interested in making their community a better place.

Voters didn’t seem to share that commitment.

Only 4,187 voters of the 20,030

Heather Colpitts Langley Advance

eligible voters turned out to the polls, a dismal 20.9 per cent.

The new four-year terms will be a challenge for the new council, he said.

“It’s exciting times,” Schaffer said.

Education Minister and former City mayor Peter Fassbender gave the City a high profile when he was mayor and Schaffer said he plans to continue that legacy.

“I’m looking forward to working with the neighbouring may-

ors,” Schaffer said. “I have a great relationship with the mayors from the south side of the [Fraser] river.”

Two council seats up for grabs for challengers were taken by Val van den Broek and Paul Albrecht.

Schaffer, who inherited the council’s leadership by decision of fellow council members after Fassbender stepped aside to run for a Surrey MLA seat and joined Christy Clark’s provincial cabinet, received 2,781 votes, to walk past

challengers Randy Caine (767) and Ray Lewis (558).

(Actual vote tallies are unofficial at this time.)

Incumbent Dave Hall topped the councillors’ polls, with 2,172 votes.

He was followed by van den Broek’s 1,864.

Next up were Rudy Storteboom (1,856) who previously sat on council before this most recent term, incumbent Gayle Martin (1,851), and then newcomer Paul Albrecht (1,738).

The last seat goes to Jack Arnold with 1,599 votes.

Out of the running were Nathan Pachal (1,528), Sharon Newbery (1,493), Miriam Marshall (1,463), Carla Robin (1,403), Christine MacIntosh (1,164), and Ron Abgrall (590).

Schaffer said he looks forward to working with the new council and the new councillors.

“It brings new ideas, fresh ideas,” he said of having new councillors. “And those that do come on board can see it’s not as easy as it seems.”

Thief took guitar

Langley Mounties are looking for a man who brazenly walked out of a store with an electric guitar and pedalled away.

On Nov. 9, the RCMP were called to Tom Lee Music where a customer had just seen a man steal a white electric guitar, said Cpl. Holly Marks.

The man was spotted leaving the scene on a bicycle. Police are asking the public for tips.

Brown goes green

Langley City is a winner in the 2015 Sustainable Communities Awards by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) for its brownfield planning.

Nine Canadian communities won in various categories.

Brownfield is industrial land and the City has been working on how to redevelop such lands, including remediation.

“Together, this year’s winning communities stand out as leading examples of how citizens, stakeholders and municipal councils can work together on a range of sustainability initiatives,” said Brad Woodside, FCM president and mayor of City of Fredericton, New Brunswick.

Three new councillors in Township Langley Township council has seen three new members replace three longtime incumbents.

Green had entered the election almost literally at the last minute – turning in signed nomination papers about 15 minutes before the deadline.

He ran as an independent, rather than with a slate of council candidates as he did in 2011.

While debates between Green and Froese were largely civil, the two sparred over the Brookswood OCP.

With future development, particularly in Willoughby, public dialogue and strong planning will be paramount, Froese said.

“We’ve got to make sure it’s done right, at a good pace, and especially make sure that everyone has had an opportunity to have a say,” Froese said. “At the end of the day, council has to make those decisions on how we go forward, but we have to have good public engagement.”

Ousted were Steve Ferguson, Bev Dornan, and Grant Ward, all of whom had served multiple terms before this election.

Incumbents David Davis, Kim Richter, Charlie Fox, Michelle Sparrow, and Bob Long all kept their seats.

“They were ready for change, that’s very clear,” Quaale said of the Langley Township electorate.

She said she’s looking forward to working with Froese and the new council.

Even after winning, Whitmarsh called the results “surprising,” with three incumbents toppled.

“The voters wanted some change on council, and they got it,” he said.

“So I’m really excited about getting some of these major projects that have been on the table a while off the ground, and the shovels in the ground, and getting going with this.”

Several of the defeated candidates were surprised at the results.

efforts to stop the unpopular Brookswood-Fernridge Official Community Plan.

She thought that Clint Lee and Kerri Ross of the two-person Live Langley slate would do better, and she was also surprised that the Brookswood vote didn’t have a bigger impact.

She expects that there will still be strong community activism in Brookswood, if the OCP is revisited.

“I think you can expect to have the same kind of turnout and the same kind of pushback if it’s not done with more community input,” she said.

Kevin Mitchell said the council will not lead to real change in Langley.

“In fact, I think what it does is it solidifies the majority’s position,” Mitchell said.

He said the candidates who won had done so because they had very well financed campaigns.

The results would be “another four years of the same old, same old,”

Mitchell said.

Zosia Ettenberg, who was taking her first run at campaigning, said she would have liked a better showing.

She said she hopes that the changes to council and the turnout are enough to make a change in the coming years.

Voter turnout was up in Langley Township, with 22,601 people casting ballots, according to the unofficial numbers released Saturday night.

That’s just under 30 per cent, although the final percentage may change slightly. Election officials still have to remove the names of voters who died after the 2011 election, or who moved away from the

Township.

Turnout rose from just under 26 per cent during the 2011 election.

Some voters were surprised to see American flags pop up on voting machines after they fed in their ballot, along with a cheery thank-you message.

The flags were the first odd glitch of the day.

Township election officer Bob Wilson said the new voting machines are from Nebraskabased firm Electrical Systems and Software.

A test version of the machine sent to the Township and used in a school mock vote didn’t pop up the flag. The odd glitch was only discovered when people began casting

their ballots on Saturday morning.

Although it didn’t impact the vote, it was too late to fix it.

After polls closed, there were some new issues.

Three of the 13 polling stations active on election day failed to transmit their voting data back to the Langley Township hall.

Data from Lynn Fripps Elementary was brought in quickly via car.

The other two stations, one in Aldergrove and the other at WixBrown Elementary, took longer to bring in physically after technical issues.

That resulted in a delay of a little over an hour in getting the final voting results.

Jail time for hatchet thief Walnut Grove’s hatchet robbers have been sentenced after pleading guilty in a Surrey courtroom.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A Bonnie-and-Clyde style couple who robbed Langley merchants with a hatchet have been sentenced for their crime spree.

James Gunn and his wife Nicole Gunn entered guilty pleas to several crimes earlier this year, and James Gunn has now been sentenced to 18 months in jail.

Between December 2013 and January of this year, there were several robberies in the Walnut Grove area, mostly at fast food outlets.

A man wearing a balaclava or surgical mask would enter carrying the hatchet and demand money.

During one theft he jumped over the counter, emptied the register, and then took the petty cash from the office, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. After each robbery, the man ran from the store and jumped into a nearby van driven by a woman.

The police began closing in when a BC Ambulance driver saw the van pulling away and gave police a partial license plate number.

The van was linked back to James Gunn, a Walnut Grove resident who matched descriptions of the robber.

Marks said Langley Serious Crime section took over the investigation, and the Street Enforcement Unit helped work “on

the ground” in the neighbourhood.

The final robbery took place on Jan. 25 at the Lotus Day Spa. James Gunn was seen leaving the spa and jumping into the van.

Officers tried to stop the van shortly after the robbery, but Marks said Nicole Gunn drove into oncoming lanes of traffic several times while evading capture.

Police gave up the chase and decided to arrest the pair in a more controlled manner.

On Jan. 29, officers confirmed both Gunns were in their home, and the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team entered and arrested both without incident.

Nicole Gunn, 32, pleaded guilty over the summer to one count each of robbery, flight from police, and dangerous driving.

She was given a suspended sentence and 18 months of probation, along with a 10year ban on owning or using guns and a six-month driving ban.

James Gunn, 32, also entered a guilty plea over the summer, to one count of robbery, disguise with intent, and two counts of driving while prohibited. He was sentenced this month to 18 months behind bars, two years probation, a twoyear driving ban and a 10-year firearms ban.

Marks said police were very concerned about the armed robbery spree, and the investigation brought in many sections of the Langley RCMP, including the Drug Section, the Prolific Offender Enforcement Team, and general duty officers. From outside the detachment, help came from regional teams like Forensic Identification, Police Dog Services, and Air One.

Late with the library books? Delayed with the DVDs? The Fraser Valley Regional Library Network offers a win-win solution for calendar-challenged borrowers and the community.

From Nov. 12 to Dec. 10, people can have their fines forgiven if they take in non-perishable food donations to any FVRL branch.

One food item equals $2 in fines, and up to $30 of fines owed per library account can be waived during the Food for Fines campaign. All items collected will be donated to the local food bank.

“FVRL strives to continually build meaningful partnership with various local community agencies,” said Rob O’Brennan, FVRL’s CEO. “This particular collaboration is a great

way for our customers to reduce or eliminate their overdue fines, and provide much needed donations to our local food banks.”

Only commercially packaged, undamaged and unexpired food items will be accepted.

Fraser Valley Regional Library is the largest public library system in British Columbia, with 25 community libraries serving over 700,000 people in its service area. Learn more about it at www.fvrl.ca.

Elections need greater support

Congratulations and thanks are in order for all those who were elected, as well as those who faced defeat at the polls in Saturday’s civic elections.

There’s a road filled with hard work and difficult decisions for those who will populate the council and school board tables over the next four years, and we thank them in advance for that effort.

Thanks also go out to those who made the effort to share their vision for their community – we hope that those who were elected will keep some of your better ideas in mind when they make their decisions for everyone, and not just for those who shared their own visions enough to vote for them.

We’d like to use that old cliche – “the community has spoken” – but the reality is that less than a third of the community bothered to add its voice to this critical exercise in democracy.

We – and our colleagues at competing media – provided voters in both communities with a wealth of information about the candidates who put their names up for consideration.

“I didn’t know enough to feel comfortable about voting,” is a lame excuse, at best. And don’t waste your breath telling us, “I didn’t like anyone enough who was in the running.” Even if that wasn’t nonsense, you should have made that statement at the polling booth, handing in a ballot with as few choices as you wished – none, if that was truly how you felt. That way, you would have counted for something.

There was no lack of contentious issues.

That’s clear from significant changes made in the make-up of Langley Township council – while voter-turnout inched up just four per cent, still falling short of one-in-three eligible voters exercising their franchise.

And Langley City… how sad is it that only one in five voters bothered to show up?

Plaudits to those took responsibility for their community’s future. But to the rest, the people who offer to manage the crucial business of running our communities deserve more support than that.

– B.G.

Start shopping for politicians all of their promises, even the little ones, and maybe to help them keep track of who their friends are, and what each is owed.

Failures can happen with manual counting, too.

Errors are why some areas are randomly chosen to be recounted manually to ensure the accuracy of voting machines, which just increases my trust of the machines.

Newer technology, like voting machines, is almost never bug-free when first released. Voting machines have not had the chance to be tested as thoroughly as anyone would like. It’s only a matter of time before they can be protected from hacking completely, but that won’t happen without us using and feeling for weak points in the systems.

Voting would go more smoothly if there were no bugs, no recounts, no errors. However, this is not the case, no matter which way the votes are counted.

Voting machines are a step towards smoother, faster voting, even with the current obstacles.

Dog park safer without lights

Dear Editor, Somebody has attached a petition on the notice board of the Langley City Dog Park requesting that lighting be installed. I’ve discussed this with a number of intelligent people while walking dogs, and the general opinion is that this idea is utterly ridiculous and expensive.

The Langley City Dog Park is outstanding as it now is.

Many dollars are spent on upkeep, the planting of trees, new fencing and the paving of the parking lot for which most of us are very grateful. Lighting the park at night would, I believe, draw the undesirables to the location: motor scooters, bikers, and noise.

Let us hope that the City administration writes a large NO across any request for this unnecessary expense.

not only listened to those who attended public hearings, he had to consider the larger numbers of citizens who didn’t attend. One of Green’s favourite jabs was insinuating that Froese listened to phantom-like people who weren’t there.

It looks like a lot of those make-believe people voted to re-elect Mayor Froese.

It also appears the “Unelection Campaign” did precisely that for Mr. Green, who first denied being directly involved with them.

Make the Right Turn in Bellingham HOLIDAYS

With December fast approaching, the thought of lining up at big box stores during the holiday season tires out most shoppers before they even leave the house. Another option is to drop by Bellingham for their first ever Shop Small Saturday event.

“It’s something new we’re doing this year,” said Kyle Fuller, director of marketing at the Downtown Bellingham Partnership.

“There’s kind of an emphasis on shopping locally, especially after Black Friday (one of the busiest national shopping days of the year). We’re going to have carollers and buskers, and all the stores downtown will have ribbons in the windows and refreshments. We’re showing why supporting local businesses matter.”

For more family-oriented activities, Fuller suggests checking out the annual downtown Bellingham tree lighting ceremony at the Depot Market Square featuring live entertainment and a visit from the mayor. Immediately following the lighting is an Art Walk, where visitors can go on a self-guided tour through various galleries, restaurants and other venues to enjoy creations by local artists.

Calendar of Events Fairhaven Holiday Festival

ART WALK

November 28 & 29 Shop Small Saturday November 29 Tree Lighting and Art Walk December 5 Holiday Port Festival December 5-7 Shop Dine Celebrate December 12-14

What are the holidays without a visit to Santa? About three miles away in the historic town of Fairhaven, kids can make their wishes heard when Mr. and Mrs. Claus drop by the Victorian gazebo at the corner of Harris Avenue and 10th Street on Nov. 28 from 3 to 4:50 p.m. At 5 p.m., Fairhaven will be hosting its own Lighting of the Trees at the Village Green with a performance by Bellingham High’s Showstoppers, a 20-member vocal ensemble.

If you miss St. Nick’s first appearance, worry not — he will be back in town offering free horse-drawn carriage rides every Saturday from Nov. 29 to Dec. 20 at the Fairhaven Village Inn. For more free activities, the Holiday Port Festival takes place Dec. 5 to 7 at the nearby Bellingham Cruise Terminal. There will be choirs, bands and dancers performing, a gingerbread house display, fire truck rides and hot apple cider. Bring a non-perishable food item to support the Bellingham Food Bank.

Bureau a local tradition Langley Christmas Bureau has a tradition of helping families.

by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Year after year the Langley Christmas Bureau amasses gifts, books, and toys to ensure thousands of local children can enjoy the season of giving.

Last year the bureau helped 803 families and 1,650 children.

The bureau has been around so long, it’s become a local holiday tradition. Families make supporting the Langley Christmas Bureau part of their holidays by stopping

by Gifts for Kids, a booth set up in the mall.

“We have second and third generations coming,” said Castron.

For years the Christmas bureau has set up a booth at Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

The campaign starts Nov. 30 and wraps up Dec. 14.

Gifts for Kids provides people an easy way to contribute. People can bring new, unwrapped gifts to the booth (near the Purdy’s) or make a financial donation which can be used to purchase gifts for hard-to-buy-for ages.

“We get a huge amount of toys there,” explained co-chair Jim McGregor.

The toys and donations are gathered and taken to the bureau office.

“At the end, they’re going twice a day” to load up donations, Castron noted.

A key facet is the volunteers at Gifts for Kids.

They are able to help the public with their gift choices and tell which age/gender combinations are needed most. Items for boys ages 10-13 are the most needed followed by teens.

Each year the bureau

Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance

People stopping by the Langley Christmas Bureau will meet volunteers such as Freda Parsons. She recently sorted the bin of volunteer name tags, used year after year because the helpers want to return year after year. asks that stuffed toys and Barbies not be donated but they come in by the load. That’s why volunteer Donalda Whaites tracks gifts to ensure the right mix for the families that are registered so the bureau never has to tell a family it doesn’t have anything to offer for a given child.

Various community efforts are held each year to bring in donations for the Christmas bureau.

And coming up is another example. Forever Yours Lingerie is hosting Christmas Sizzle, a fashion show fundraiser on Nov. 20 at the store, 20460 Fraser Hwy. The doors open at 6:15 with a show at 7 p.m. There’s special discounts, raffles and more. Tickets are $20 and 100 per cent goes to the Christmas bureau. As well, people who bring unwrapped gifts for children receive an extra door

prize ticket. The event is for those 19 and older.

Learn more and arrange for tickets through http:// foreveryourslingerie.ca.

People can also go to the bureau office to make contributions. This year the Langley Christmas Bureau has moved to 20300 Fraser Hwy. There’s also online giving. People, families, businesses or other groups can sign up to sponsor a family. They are then given basic details about the ages and genders of the children for gift buying. Complete details about the various forms of support as well as how to apply to receive help from the Christmas bureau are online or available at the office.

The bureau also receives toys through the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau and receives about $20,000 from the Empty Stocking Fund.

Fill the cupboard, fill hearts this Christmas

Making Christmas brighter for seniors and children is the goal of the Full Cupboard.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The objective of the Full Cupboard Holiday Program is right there in the name – but there is more to the local effort to bring food and gifts to the disadvantaged.

Langley-based Envision Financial has set up its Christmas trees for the fifth year in a row, and is gathering gifts for children and seniors, as well as food for local food banks.

“Food Bank Canada’s HungerCount 2014 revealed that BC food bank usage is up 3.6% and 30.8% of food bank users are children,” said Envision manager of community investment Susan Byrom.

Byrom said the program was dubbed the Angel Tree program when it first started.

The trees in local branches would be hung with tags with the ages and genders of children, or indicating a gift for a

senior.

Customers could pick a tag and bring in a gift aimed at that person.

The focus on seniors was one of the things that set the program apart.

“We have seniors who are isolated, we have seniors who may not have family anymore,” Byrom said.

Langley City in particular has a sizeable population of seniors, many of them living alone or in some form of care home.

The program also helps offer meaning to people who may not have a senior in their life anymore, Byrom said.

Two years ago the Angel Tree morphed into the Full Cupboard program. It still gathers gifts but also food for food banks in all the communities where the credit union operates.

Replacing the angel cards on the trees are cards with lists of things needed by food banks, and also of common gifts for children at different ages, including infants, along with gift ideas for seniors.

Other cards list things that are always needed by food banks, including cash contributions that can be put to good use on the

Staff members at the Langley Envision are hoping to see a lot of gifts donated for local children and seniors under the tree in their lobby.

charities’ expenses.

The Full Cupboard has already raised $176,000, and collected more than 17,000 pounds of food over its short lifetime.

Getting the food where it’s going and the gifts to those who need them is done by partnering with local organizations and charities.

In Langley, that means

working with groups like the Langley Seniors Resource Centre, the Langley Lodge, and the Langley Food Bank.

As technology changes, new ways of giving have appeared, including texting to donate. This will be the first year the Fill the Cupboard program has a text to donate system.

Texting FULL to 41010

will donate $10 to a local food bank. If your phone number can be localized by a common first three numbers (like 530 or 856 in Langley) the money will stay within Langley.

For numbers that can’t be localized, the money will be divided up or go to a food bank that needs more financial help, said Byrom.

One of the pleasures of

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

the program is seeing staff and members taking part, said Byrom.

“Gosh, it’s overwhelming every year,” she said.

“It’s heartwarming to see the number of gifts and food that come in.”

Items can be dropped off at all Envision locations, as well as at the Langley Advance offices at 6375 202 St.

Annual program

Red Nose returns for 2014 Those who are literally in the spirit of Christmas can hand over the reins to Operation Red Nose volunteers, to keep roadways safe for everyone.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

The Christmas season can be a little too jolly for some revelers.

This is where Operation Red Nose comes in.

The designated driver program offers safe rides home for those who have had too much to drink on weekends in late November and through most of December.

In Langley, the program runs Friday and Saturday nights: Nov. 28-29, and Dec. 5-6, 12-13, and 19-20.

The service is also provided on New Year’s Eve, Wednesday, Dec. 31.

For those needing a ride home during those days, the B.C. hotline is 1-877604-NOSE (6673).

This year’s campaign theme, “This Season, Hand the Reins Over to Us” encourages motorists who had one too many, who are tired, or who are simply not able to drive their vehicles to call Operation Red Nose.

A team of three volunteers will be dispatched and the motorist will be safely driven home in his

Rudy, the Operation Red Nose mascot, is helping to promote the road safety program, in which volunteers drive revelers and their vehicles home for them, in exchange for a donation that goes back into the community.

Fundraising

He helped future green thumbs Student tummies filled The Township of Langley firefighters are helping hungry local kids fill up and stay focused at school.

The man who helped pass his love for gardening on to students was honoured recently.

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

The rain stopped early in the morning, then the clouds parted and the spirit of Bruce Van Garderen shone down on Langley Meadows Community School on Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Van Garderen, who co-founded Maples Discovery Garden and was a key driver in introducing Langley Meadows’ older students to gardening over the past few years, died from cancer this past April.

He was 64.

During an afternoon ceremony on Nov. 4, with Van Garderen’s family members as well as Jean Moir’s 3/4/5 class looking on, Langley Meadows dedicated its school

In the memory of Bruce Van Garderen, the sign reading ‘Bruce’s Discovery Garden’ was unveiled Tuesday, Nov. 4, during a ceremony at Langley Meadows Community School. gardens in Van Garderen’s memory.

gram, and to Maples Discovery Gardens Co-op.

In fact, noted his daughter Elsabee Lyon, Van Garderen helped implement the Nature’s Class in many schools in Langley starting with Langley Meadows, as his grandchildren attended that school.

“He was also Langley Environmental Hero in 2010,” Lyon added.

The garden, built by Langley School District workers this past winter, is now called “Bruce’s Discovery Garden.”

Lettuce, peas, potatoes, pumpkins, squash, kale, green onions, strawberries, parsley, and daffodils have been grown at the garden since it was first constructed.

During the dedication, Van Garderen’s

wife Ridi said, “This was his passion. He started the whole program.”

Villeneuve, who now teaches at Yorkson Creek Middle School, said Van Garderen’s ability to make gardening both fun and educational had a positive and lasting impact on students.

“Holding a tomato was more empowering than any math lesson you can ever teach them,” Villeneuve said.

As part of the ceremony a young tree was planted at the garden in Van Garderen’s memory.

“Bruce loved to garden, loved to talk to kids about plants,” Langley Meadows principal Vanessa Jaggi said. “Every time we go out to the garden, Bruce will be with us there.”

and cribbage tournament attracted about 40 participants in each draw.

Trinity Western University has made it official. Bob Kuhn was made the president.

Kuhn is the fourth president in Trinity’s history. His inauguration Nov. 6 featured more than 1,000 students as well as staff, alumni, faculty and guests. Guests includes representatives from Kings University, Simon Fraser University, Ambrose University, Tyndale University College and Seminary, and Columbia Bible Institute.

“I consider it a privilege to be able to serve this most extraordinary university,” Kuhn said. “I accept the challenges that seem to go with the role, recognizing that the course ahead is uncharted. I do so not because I am qualified for the job in my own strength, but because I believe that I have been called to serve here.”

Board Chair Lorne Jacobson Jacobson presented Kuhn with the President’s Medallion and invited representatives, including President Emeritus R. Neil Snider, Ph.D., Alumni Association President Aaron Fedora, and University Siy:am Patricia Victor to pray.

Website is kitty birth control The internet is providing the world an eye on Langley.

BC family ~ owned & operated since 1974

Shelly Roche has harnessed the power of the internet. Is she making her fortune? No, she’s helping cats find permanent homes, and shining the international spotlight on the Langley Animal Protection Society.

Her site, Tinykittens (http://tinykittens.com/) has a 24-hour webcam so

people can watch the cats, kittens, and even pregnant cats. What she calls Resuce Kitten Reality TV has 1.4 million Facebook followers and has generated substantial donations for the local no-kill animal shelter.

One cat, Dorothy, is about to give birth.

Roche, who fosters cats for LAPS, posted on Facebook about these efforts.

“People often ask why I broadcast the births live.

One of the main reasons is to give parents who want their kids to experience the ‘miracle of birth’ an alternative to letting their own cats reproduce.

“Of course, an even better alternative is to sign up to be a foster family for your local shelter. That way, you’ll be saving lives and not contributing to the cat overpopulation crisis.”

Many have free or lowcost spay/neuter programs, and can help, Roche noted.

Kaylee Bubbling with energy and joy, Kaylee is about 2 years old. This girl loves to play with other dogs and has never ending enthusiasm and wiggles.

She is always up for a car ride and adventures. It is possible Kaylee could live with a confident cat.

Tina

Dora

Health

Dawn

Fieval

This Spunky gal is Tina. She was found hanging around an old house that was in the process of being demolished and was brought in by one of the construction workers. This cutie is a little on the plumper side and is jam packed full of cattitude.

She enjoys pets and a good round with her dangle toys. She does give love bites, so a home without children would be ideal. A home with another cat savvy feline or dog could be an option for her. At about 10 years old, Tina is looking for that hero to scoop her up and whisk her away to her furever home. If you think you could be her hero please call LAPS at 604 857-5055

Meet Dora the Explorer! This petite cutie is less than 1 year old and came into LAPS looking quite pregnant. So pregnant that we thought we could actually feel the kittens moving inside of her. We promptly sent her to the vet for an x-ray and made a shocking discovery. Dora wasn’t in fact pregnant but had actually eaten the scraps of an entire chicken! Seems like she had been out on her own for quite a while and was so hungry she had resorted to eating garbage. She has since passed all of the remnants of the chicken and is ready to go to her fur-ever home! This girl is adorably compact and is such a confident love bug. She gets along with dogs both big and small and could go to a home with another cat that respects her space. Kids could be an option for her, seeing as how she is so confident. If you think that you could provide this sweetheart with enough food and love to last her a lifetime please call LAPS at 604 857-5055.

Meet Heath! This handsome devil came into LAPS after he was spotted in his neighbourhood apparently hurt and limping. Upon intake we had a vet examine him and turns out, he looked like he had been in a bit of a cat fight but it wasn’t anything too serious. After finishing his course of antibiotics, he was tattooed and is now ready for adoption. This guy is a sweetheart through and through. He loves pets and will snuggle right up to you. As you can see from the picture above, Heath doesn’t have the typical long kitty tail, he has what looks more like a special little nubbin. This guy is very confident and could hold his own very well with a dog or a cat. For

This cutie is Dawn. Just spend a few minutes with her and you’ll see why our staff love her so much. She is very timid at first but just melts in your arms once she gets to know you.

She was found all alone and in need of a dental. LAPS has since given her a much needed dental cleaning, tattooed her and she is now ready to go to her forever home. Because she is so shy, she is looking for a childfree home without too much hustle and bustle. She is about 7 years old and is hoping to spend the rest of her kitty life snuggling on the couch with that special someone. A friendly cat or dog buddy could be an option for her, as long as they aren’t too rambunctious.

This little sweetheart is Feivel. At about 3 months old he is a cuddle bug who loves to play with his toys. This guy is a carrier for the calici virus, so he will need to go to a home without cats or with well vaccinated kitties.

Junior B hockey

Ryan re-joins Kodiaks

by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

The Aldergrove Kodiaks have their MVP back.

Stephen Ryan, last year’s Pacific International Junior Hockey League scoring champion and Most Valuable Player, has returned to the Kodiaks’ fold and recorded his first goal of the season during Aldergrove’s 43 win over the Ridge Meadows Flames last Wednesday at Aldergrove Arena.

Ryan – who racked up 41 goals and 88 points in just 41 games with the Kodiaks last season – had been with the junior A Trail Smoke Eaters of the B.C. Hockey League.

The win improved the Kodiaks’ record to 6-7-2-4.

The defending PJHL champions currently sit in third place in the Harold Brittain Conference.

Aaron Markin had a goal and two assists for the Kodiaks.

Wyatt Versluis and Matt Oliver also scored for Aldergrove.

Ben Giesbrecht stopped 37 Flames shots to earn his second win of the season.

ICE CHIPS: The Kodiaks have had a week off since the win and return to action tomorrow night (Wednesday, Nov. 19) when they host the Mission City Outlaws at Aldergrove Arena.

Opening puck drop is 7:15 p.m.

Rivermen captain nets scholarship

Kevan Kilistoff will pack his hockey bags for New Hampshire, starting next fall.

Captain Kevan is bound for Dartmouth next season.

Langley Rivermen captain Kevan Kilistoff has secured an NCAA Div. 1 scholarship with Dartmouth College, beginning in the 2015/16 season.

The 20-year-old Langley native is in his third B.C. Hockey League season and is off to a great start with his hometown Rivermen, averaging roughly a point a game.

“I couldn’t be happier for Kevan,” Rivermen head coach and general manager Bobby Henderson said. “It’s a great fit all around. The academics there are as good they get and the hockey program is extremely competitive.

It’ll be a great experience for him and I’m glad it worked out.”

Kilistoff said Dartmouth is a great fit for him, on and off the ice.

“Everybody has been talking about how great the school is and how they have a great program,” Kilistoff said. “It’s an Ivy League education and I’m looking forward to it.”

In his rookie year with the Surrey Eagles, Kilistoff won the Fred Page Cup as well as the Western Canada Cup, and appeared in the RBC Cup. Last season he was traded to Langley and helped guide the team to the Ron Boileau Memorial Trophy, given to the team with the best record in the BCHL regular season.

“I was pretty confident he was going to get a good deal,”

Langley Rivermen captain Kevan Kilistoff, pictured in a home game against the Nanaimo Clippers earlier this season, believes he made the right decision by accepting an NCAA Div. 1 scholarship offer from Dartmouth College.

Langley Advance file

Henderson said. “For some guys it takes longer than others. He’s got all the ability in the world but scouts wanted to see if he could produce as an older guy in the league and he’s proven he can do that.”

“I was a little nervous because it is a big decision,” Kilistoff said.

“It’s the next four years of my life and after talking it over with my parents, I think we made the right decision.”

Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire, is the smallest university of the Ivy League schools, with just over 6,000 students enrolled.

Notable Dartmouth graduates include former Houston Astros catcher and three-time Gold Glove winner Brad Ausmus, actress Mindy Kaling of The Office and The Mindy Project, as well as Nelson A. Rockefeller, 41st vicepresident of the United States and 49th governor of New York.
