he German U-boat rose from the North Atlantic’s inky depths, intent on torpedoing as many vessels in the convoy as it could. With close to 80 merchant ships in the flotilla, the odds of sinking at least one appeared rather good.

With his periscope’s sights fixed on a British tanker, the submarine’s captain gave the order to fire. A few seconds later the German torpedo struck its intended target, the ensuing explosion instantly illuminating the foggy night sky. Merchant seamen scrambled toward their lifeboats, caught between the raging inferno and the ocean’s icy waters. Satisfied with its efforts and fearing the convoy’s escorts, the German vessel slipped beneath the waves, the sea above erupting into a cauldron of burning diesel oil, maritime debris, and disfigured human remains. Scenes like this were typical of the Battle

of the Atlantic, an ongoing conflict that revolved around Allied efforts to keep warrelated supplies flowing safely to Britain, a flow of material that the German navy was desperate to eliminate.

'Highest Prices Paid for Gold & Silver'

The battle was the lengthiest continuous military engagement of the Second World War. It began in the autumn of 1939 and ended only with Germany’s surrender in May 1945. By the time the war had ended, more than 100 Allied convoys had engaged in battle and up to 1,000 ships had fought in one-on-one encounters. The count: 3,500 Allied merchant vessels, 175 Allied warships, and 783 German U-boats had been sunk. The human losses were even more horrendous: 72,200 Allied sailors and merchant seamen and 30,000 German U-boat sailors had been killed. continued, PAGE 4

Remembrance Day to be observed over P.A. system at Walnut Grove Secondary MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Times Reporter

Students at Walnut Grove Secondary are outraged that their Remembrance Day assembly has been cancelled. Jessica Olszewski, a Grade 12 student at Walnut Grove, told The Times that despite having Remembrance Day assemblies in past years, her school is not organizing a major ceremony for students this year. “Everyone was pretty mad. Honestly it was jaw-dropping,” she said. “It’s insanely disrespectful.” Cari Andrews, also in Grade 12, says she is very disappointed. “I think it’s extremely disrespectful. It’s important because these soldiers fought for us. It doesn’t make sense to me,” she said. Instead of an assembly, the school is having the students read pieces over the P.A. system, followed by a moment of silence — something Olszewski believes is not good enough. “It’s not anything sentimental at all,” she said. Given the current teachers’ strike, Walnut Grove principal Jim Darby believes holding this type of ceremony is the best alternative for the school’s situation this year. “The idea of doing it this way came from one of our other members of the admin team here, and in their experience it had been done in other schools and it went over remarkably well. The impact was there,” he said. “I didn’t want to put teachers in an awkward position to have to make a decision, particularly when it is Remembrance Day. We didn’t want a political piece crowding what is a solemn occasion.” The students are also blaming the teachers’ strike for the cancellation, but the Langley Teachers Association says this is not the case. “We have not issued any directive to cancel Remembrance Day, in

fact that’s the one assembly that’s mandated through the School Act,” said LTA president Gail ChaddockCostello. “Every school must hold some form of an assembly. It can be as simple as asking all students to bow their heads in a moment of silence while they read a prayer over the P.A. system. Exactly what is included in the Remembrance Day ceremony can be very simple to complex, but some sort of recognition must be given.” Chaddock-Costello says it is up to the administrators to organize any type of assembly, not the teachers. “Our directive to teachers is that they are not to organize them during job action but if they receive information that they are to bring students to the gymnasium or somewhere to participate at such and such a time, then they will do that and students will attend.” Walnut Grove students have taken to making their own posters and creating a Power Point presentation to show other students the significance of Remembrance Day. “Especially for the Grade 8 students it’s important to teach them the importance of this day,” Olszewski said. Other secondary schools in Langley including D.W. Poppy, Aldergrove Community Secondary and Brookswood Secondary are holding their regular assemblies to be attended by the whole school. Aldergrove has organized a multi disciplinary presentation and drama students at Brookswood are putting together a performance. Langley Secondary School, on the other hand, has also opted to hold a minute of silence and will hand out poppies to students. “Based on opinions of my colleagues, it will have most of the sentiment of an assembly,” Darby said. “It will be different. “It is a change, and I’d say some of the sentimentality will be lost. But I think if students are quiet in their classrooms and are listening to what is being said, it will not be as good as being in the gym but it’s very close.” Darby says Walnut Grove is planning on returning to regular Remembrance Day assemblies next year.

Conflict at sea a coming of age from PAGE 1

For Canadians, the Battle of the Atlantic was a milestone in the nation’s development. Canada had entered the war with a navy of fewer than a dozen ships and naval enlistments totalling a mere 3,500 men. By war’s end the Royal Canadian Navy was the third largest in the world, consisting of more than 400 vessels and 95,000 enlisted men and women. For young men like Langley’s Gerry Hay, the conflict at sea was also a coming of age. Still in his teens when he first enlisted, Gerry served in the navy as a stoker throughout the war, leaving its service as a petty officer — and a man. ••• Born in Medicine Hat in 1921, Gerry moved to Mount Lehman in 1933 with his parents, sister, and two brothers. The family relocated to South Aldergrove three years later. Gerry’s father hoped to establish a family farm, but as Gerry recalls, success proved elusive when the land his father purchased proved both infertile and unprofitable: “My father had inherited a considerable amount of money, and so we moved to the coast, but it didn’t take long for people on the coast to deprive him of that money.” The land he’d been sold “wasn’t worth a darn.” With only a small amount of capital left the family had little choice but to stay and make the best of a bad situation. Like many boys his age, Gerry was eager to finish his education and begin a career. He hoped to find employment in stationary engineering. Military service offered the potential of both training and a

A military convoy was the safest way for merchant ships to travel during the war as they crossed the Atlantic, bringing supplies to depleted Allied forces. job: “A fellow I chummed with, we decided we’d join the navy.” Only his parents stood in the way: “I think there was a little collusion between my parents and the government . . . They didn’t call me up until war was declared.” Unable to enlist, Gerry went north to work in a lumber camp. When the Second World War finally broke out in September 1939, Gerry returned to high school in Langley. Like most of his classmates, he knew little about world affairs, but quickly learned about the significant threat posed by authoritarian regimes then governing Germany, Italy, and Japan. Together with other students at the school, Gerry joined the town’s “broomstick army,” a volunteer militia unit then under the command of First World War hero Major Archie

Payne. The unit’s equipment was only just adequate. “We had rifles, but they were old. We also had little straw hats. Being small, my uniform came down to my shoes and up again. But we didn’t wear puttees, thank goodness!” After several months of training in Langley and North Vancouver’s Blair Rifle Range, Gerry was called up to join the navy. Having completed his basic training at HMCS Naden in Esquimalt Gerry next found himself at a military base in Comox. There, he recalls, the training was in no way appropriate to his future assignments. “They taught us all about destroyers. And we said, ‘what is all this about destroyers when they’re building corvettes all over the country?’ This guy said, ‘you’ll never see a corvette,’ but

for Canada and her servicemen

For a time, Gerry Hay served aboard the HMCS Galt, as it escorted ships between Halifax, St. John’s and Britain. we never saw a destroyer!” Ironically, a year after having enlisted, Gerry and his classmates had not encountered a single ship. “We didn’t have anything to train on. We didn’t have a ship. We talked of boilers and things but we’d never seen one till we got on a ship.” Sent east to Halifax in the spring of 1941, the young, would-be engineers finally had their chance. Gerry’s initial assignment was as a stoker aboard HMCS Saskatoon, a “Flower” class corvette built to escort convoys across the North Atlantic. Bitter experience had demonstrated that merchant ships stood a far better chance of not being sunk by German U-boats if they travelled in groups guarded by destroyers and corvettes. Corvettes were themselves a wartime innovation, their design being based on that of North Atlantic whalers. 205 feet long and with a draught of just 11.5 feet, the vessels were modestly armed with five guns and two depth charge throwers. With a maximum speed of 16 knots (about 30 kilometres per hour), corvettes were easy prey for enemy destroyers, and, like any surface vessel, could also be picked off by submarines. Despite these perils, Gerry was unafraid. “They didn’t want us. They were after the merchant ships. Any navy ship that got torpedoed got in the way of something.” Gerry’s childhood friend and neighbour Earl Jaynes was one of the 2,000 officers and men of the Royal Canadian Navy who

fell prey to the German navy. Jaynes had trained with Gerry on the West Coast, but the two were separated when assigned to different vessels. Serving aboard the corvette HMCS Levis in September 1941, Jaynes was among 18 men killed instantly when a German torpedo struck their vessel’s bow. The Levis was the first of 10 Canadian corvettes lost during the war. By the time the war was over, two dozen Canadian naval vessels had been lost beneath the waves while close to 2,000 Canadian naval personnel and more than 1,600 Canadian merchant navy personnel had lost their lives in the defense of freedom. For Canada’s servicemen and women, living with loss became part of daily life. The war went on. Transferred from the Saskatoon to the corvette HMCS Galt, Gerry found himself escorting convoys between Halifax or St. John’s and various British ports. Although his ship participated in several engagements with the enemy, Gerry was in the peculiar position of generally knowing little about what was going on above decks. Tending the boilers and engines below decks afforded little sense of battle: “As a stoker you didn’t know where you were.” On some occasions the destroyers that led the convoys elicited more concern than the threat of German wolf packs. Destroyers were fast, highly manoeuverable, and much larger than the corvettes under their command: “They would come right in beside us and tell us

what to do. And boy, could they move! That scared me more than anything, the way they came in beside you. They were there one minute and gone the next.” Despite the presence of heavily armed destroyers, a “sub scare” could happen at any time and any place — even in the St. Lawrence River. “Most of the time they were sitting there waiting. They could get in the middle of a convoy and as long as they stayed down they could pick out the ships they wanted to sink. They mostly went for tankers, because of the fuel. If you could blow up a tanker beside a freighter you usually damaged the freighter too.” In the early years of the war the Germans had increased their U-boat fleet from a mere 30 to over 300 vessels, a situation that resulted in the Allies losing ships more quickly than they could be built. In the first six month of 1942 alone, almost 400 Allied ships were sunk, compared to just seven German submarines. But the situation gradually changed. With the United States entering the war in late 1941, additional vessels became available to combat the U-boat menace. Now aged 90 and living in Osoyoos, Gerry is a softspoken, gentle man. Known in his youth as “little Gerry Hay,” he seems anything but the stereotypical image of a warrior. But Gerry is precisely the sort of man on whom the Allied victory ultimately depended: quietly courageous, dutiful and determined; an ordinary man thrust into extraordinary circumstances. It was men like Gerry who safeguarded the North Atlantic, preserved Britain’s freedom, enabled the Normandy invasion, and helped to secure the Allies’ final victory over the most sinister regime the world had ever known. ••• Warren Sommer is a consultant and author based in Fort Langley.

WE SAY

THEY SAY

You be the judges

A time to reflect

he book has now closed on the 2008-11 Langley Township council. Council held its final meeting of the term on Monday night. The next time council meets on Dec. 5, there will be at least three new people sitting around the council table. If voters opt for a significant turnover, it is possible that there will be as many as nine new faces around the council table. It is fitting that one of the final items of business in the term was a notice of motion by Councillor Grant Ward, to convene a committee of inquiry into Mayor Rick Green’s actions regarding the Brownshak affair. Ward has been Green’s most implacable foe from the day the mayor was elected three years ago, and has been steadfast in his opposition. And Brownshak has taken up an awful lot of council and staff time, and taxpayers’ money. It is also fitting that the motion was deferred until the new council meets. There is no need for an inquiry. The Lidstone Report answered most questions that people have about Brownshak, and it is highly unlikely that the new council will take the matter up again — unless it is mostly made up of the same old faces. It is up to voters as to how they wish to deal with all the participants in the Brownshak affair. Eight of them are seeking for re-election. Councillor Kim Richter, who along with Green voted against the motion, stated it best — it’s up to the public to be the final judges of right and wrong in this affair, and in the many other controversies that have dogged this particular council. Residents of Langley Township will pass judgment on this council on Nov. 19, should they choose to vote. They can choose to re-elect the incumbents (although at least one will be gone, as Councillor Mel Kositsky is challenging Green for the mayor’s chair). They can choose to throw them all out. What is most likely is that they will collectively choose to re-elect some of them, throw several out and elect a number of newcomers. Those who do not usually vote should take the time to do so. As letter writer Debbie McGregor notes on page 7, you don’t have to vote for eight councillors. You can vote for just one, if you feel just one candidate would do a good job. Those who usually vote have been paying close attention over the past three years. They need to encourage their non-voting friends and neighbours to also act as the final judges on the current council’s performance.

t’s a time for remembering. Every year we have the opportunity to do so publicly, and specifically remember those who have experienced war. As time has gone by since the ‘war to end all wars,’ each generation has thought that there was a generation following them that would have no memory to share on Remembrance Day, and each generation has been proven wrong. From one World War to another, followed by so many ‘smaller’ ones throughout the planet, our entire population has some knowledge of the horrendous loss incurred by mankind’s inability to just get along. We may not have all served but we all have grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers, sisters, sons or daughters who have done so. So take the time on Friday, Nov. 11 to remember them — and do what you can to get along with your siblings, your neighbors and your colleagues. Let’s make a difference, develop some tolerance and compassion for our fellow beings, and see what happens. Another thing that we should all be remembering is our opportunity to vote in the upcoming municipal election. Far too many people say, “oh, I don’t bother to vote in those, it doesn’t make any difference,” or something similar. To not exercise your right to vote is almost criminal. If you listen to the candidates, and you have had and will still have ample opportunity to do so, you will find that it does make a difference. So listen, decide and vote. It’s pretty simple. —Invermere Valley Echo (Black Press)

You don’t have to vote for six (or eight) Editor: I was one of the few people who attended the Langley City candidates meeting on Nov. 2 at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. What a great opportunity to get a grasp of the agendas, beliefs and concerns of candidates in the City. I have now made up my mind on which of the six councillor candidates to vote for. Prior to the meeting, I had only picked four.

I am writing this for two reasons. One is to implore the public to take an interest in who will be elected to represent them. The other is to stress that, even if you only know of one, or three, or five councillor candidates to vote for, you can vote for one, three or five. You do not have to vote for the full six (in the City) or eight (in the Township). If

you do not know who to vote for, don’t just tick off any box. When in doubt on anything in life, ask people you know and respect for their thoughts on the subject. If you want to know about City politics, ask people that are in the know. If you want to know about the Township, do the same. Remember, the mayor, councillors and

Soldiers fought for our freedoms

In memory of Stanley Tyers Editor: This past March, I found out about my great uncle Stanley, who died very young at Vimy Ridge. I wrote this poem about him and would like honour him and all the fallen soldiers who unselfishly gave their lives. My great uncle Stan is listed on the cenotaph at the Murrayville Cemetery and when I went to see it, I was overwhelmed with grief. This poem flowed from my heart. Perhaps you could print the poem as a letter to the editor for the upcoming Remembrance Day? Private Stanley Tyers July 3, 1898 – April 9, 1917 At Vimy Ridge my Great Uncle Stan fell He willingly suffered and strode bravely into hell. He carried a rifle as he marched straight into harm He and his regiment, his comrades in arms. With the 2nd Canadian Mounted Rifles, BC Regiment He advanced for the loss of Canada to prevent. Until at aged 18 he met his enemy face to face As he fought and died in that dreadful place. He generously gave his life for all in this land For Canada, his siblings, and his heartbro-

ken Mom and Dad. I imagine my uncle, prayed aloud to our Lord Give me courage and strength to continue onward.

Editor: After travelling to France, Belgium and Holland this past summer and viewing some of the thousands of graves of our fallen soldiers, I came back with a more profound understanding of what these men and women went through to guarantee our rights and freedoms. I was angered and disgusted at the defacing of one mayoralty candidate’s election signs. It is every Canadian’s right to vote as they choose, but to see signs defaced with swastikas and other filth demonstrates to me a total lack of respect of what our soldiers fought and died for.

I believe You were present and held him close Holy One While he slipped into eternity for his work was done. My Great Uncle Stan at Thelis in France does lie The picture of his headstone moves me and I cry. But his soul dwells in heaven, not in the grave He lives forever because of his faith and life he gave. Alone I stand at the cenotaph, lovingly tracing your name With tears running down my face, I am not the same. Thank you, thank you for your sacrifice Great Uncle Stan I am grateful for your willingness to obey God’s plan. I solemnly promise I will never forget your fate And I know you will be waiting for me at heaven’s gate. Cathy Tyers Moleschi, Langley

It seems obvious to me that because this was a targeted attack on one mayoralty candidate, these low lifes are probably supporters of another candidate. I certainly hope that this candidate will do the right thing and give the authorities the names of these individuals. Candidates who know the identities of sign vandals who don’t give this information to police are just as guilty. They show very little respect for our freedom to support the candidate of our choosing. Dave Eddleston, Langley

Smart meters a concern Editor: Isn’t it just amazing how BC Hydro is ramming these smart meters down our throats, whether we want them or not. It would appear from my dialogue with them that we don’t have any choice. Whatever happened to free choice and our so-called democracy? I’d really like to know how much all this is going to cost us in the end. Look at all the TV advertising they are doing and the $1 billion for the initial installation costs across B.C.

Then there are all the meter readers that will lose their jobs. More poor people on the unemployment list. I am also worried about the possible health risks, as well as the invasion of one’s privacy and the high price of our Hydro bills when this is all said and done. I for one am still going to fight this, but I don’t think I’ll have a prayer against the big boys. Pat McAllister, Langley

Questions remain about the true Rick Green agenda Editor: Like many residents of the Township of Langley, I have been following with some interest and curiosity the revelations of the Lidstone Report. What is crystal clear is that Mayor Rick Green not only misled The

the council and citizens of Langley, but lied until there was no one left to lie to. What I am curious about however, and what is unclear to me, is why? No one goes to the sort of trouble he did in trying to

acquire the information that he did, then tries to cover it up with such a labryinth of mistruth, without having some sort of serious agenda. I fear that if his slate is elected on Nov.

19 we well may find out the hard way exactly what that agenda is. Jamie Clark, Fort Langley

Inquiry into Green’s conduct

www.goldkey.ca

#D8016

It will be up to the mayor and councillors who will be sworn in to office on Dec. 5 to decide whether to refer to legal counsel a municipal-level inquiry into Mayor Rick Green’s conduct, or whether there should be an inquiry at all. That was how council concluded Monday’s meeting, the last of council’s term. But the decision should be left to the public, said Councillor Kim Richter, who did not support the motion. Richter said she hoped that on election day, “Township taxpayers will vote zero tolerance for any politicians lying while in a publicly held and publicly paid office.” She noted that the Lidstone Report into Green’s conduct over the Brownshak affair concluded that Green was dishonest, misled council and three lawyers, and misrepresented how Brownshak documents came into his possession. “The mayor was caught. He was punished. It’s over,” Richter said. Before a packed public gallery, Green said that he had asked Ward for an outline of how much a committee of inquiry would cost, but had not received an answer. However, Richter said that had

Green been “honest from the outset, not one dime and not one minute of legal time would have been spent on this matter.” Ward said that “in procedural fairness to Green,” and before the motion proceeded, he would invite the mayor to agree to the inquiry. “Will you consent, Mayor Green?” “No, I’ll be voting against it,” Green said, to applause from the gallery. Ward’s motion was then seconded by Councillor Charlie Fox, who said that “if one particular individual had done his homework, researched the issue and above all been honest, the taxpayers of Langley could have seen a very different three year term.” He called the term “a rollercoaster ride, with honesty and integrity at the heart of it all. “ “The truth has been an evasive element at this table quite often this term and the Brownshak/Lidstone Report situation is merely but one situation this council has had to deal with,” Fox said. “For a town council to work effectively, a team approach is needed and all members of the team should, if nothing else, have honesty and integrity in common,” Fox said. Saying that a person’s name, actions and integrity are linked

forever, Fox said that “people with a public responsibility must be able to look into that mirror everyday and know full well the person they are looking at holds the highest possible standards.” He added: “What is even more unfortunate for individuals who lose sight of their core values of honesty and integrity is that the slope becomes very slippery indeed. It also becomes an insult to the honest citizens who voted for them. “A council position is an honour and should be treated as such . . . you do what is in the best interest of the community. Misleading or whatever term you want to use is not in the best interest of the community (and) an individual that has had his lack of honesty questioned, researched, and documented should take responsibility for their actions and not deflect blame to others.” “I believe that the last thing our taxpayers want is squabbling over politics,” Green countered, saying that Ward’s motion “demonstrates clearly that those chasing this witch hunt want a ‘blank cheque’ to pursue a partisan political agenda in advance of the municipal elections on Nov.19.” While he said that it’s time “to close the book on this,” Councillor Steve Ferguson said the question that has not been answered

left for next council to decide is “Why did this happen?” He went on: “That question has never been answered at this table. Silliness happens because a question has not been answered.” Green apologized in 2010, but Ferguson told the mayor: “No matter how many times you apologize, people want to know why.” Green replied that “far too much time and effort has been put into this non-issue.”

While Green refused to agree to Ward’s motion that sought answers to his conduct, he complained that his request for information on the cost of an inquiry had not been answered. It is essential before Ward’s motion could be passed, he argued. “Clearly, there is a refusal to do so and an unwillingness to either explain or defend the cost of such an inquiry regardless of how much cost Township of Langley taxpayers have incurred

to date. “I will not get into a ditch with anyone. I will not get into the character assassination that has been going on for two and a half years,” Green said. Ward said after the meeting that he had offered the mayor the opportunity to explain his conduct and prove his innocence. “I don’t know why he didn’t take up the offer to heal the hurt in the community,” Ward said.

Call for review of Routley swap Trustee Rob McFarlane says ‘a lot has changed’ since he voted for land swap DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter

The last meeting of Langley school trustees before the election was drawing to a close Tuesday night (Nov. 8) when chairperson Rob McFarlane made a surprise announcement. If he is re-elected, McFarlane said he plans to lobby the new Board of Education to take a second look at the controversial decision to swap some school land in the Routley neighbourhood for a site in Yorkson, something that he said has left a large area with no school at all. It is time, McFarlane said, to “review and reconsider” that decision. Afterwards, McFarlane confirmed he had voted for the land

swap originally. “A lot has changed since that time,” he said. It appears to be the first public change of position by a trustee since the battle erupted over the land swap earlier this year. As unanimously approved by the trustees, the deal calls for the school site in the Routley neighbourhood to become a park, while adjacent parkland would become a townhouse development. In return, the school district will get property to build a school in the Yorkson neighbourhood of Willoughby. McFarlane’s announcement follows news the board successfully lobbied the provincial government to build two brand-new schools, neither of them in Routley.

Premier Christy Clark announced an estimated $50 million in funding for the two new Langley schools in Willoughby, including the purchase of land for one of them. It was part of a $353 million package for the fastest-growing B.C. school districts. At the Clark press conference, the then-chair of the Langley Board of Education, Stacey Cody, and superintendent Cheryle Beaumont told The Times the district has been working hard to get funding for the new schools for about five years. A spokesman for the Routely parents, Pete Pretorius, said it would have been nice if the district had devoted some of that time and effort to getting a school for Routley. “Someone just said [to Routley] you’re not worthy,” Pretorius said. “Did we do something wrong that we deserved to be punished?”

City mayoral candidates share their visions Peter Fassbender Times Reporter

Ron Abgrall Times Reporter

“Without choice, there is no democracy.” That, in a nutshell, is the reason auto technician Ron Abgrall has decided to make a second run at the mayor’s chair in Langley City. Although his chief concern is ensuring that sitting mayor Peter Fassbender doesn’t run unopposed, Abgrall has given some thought to the issues facing Langley City and the changes he’d like to see happen over the next three years. “People always complain, but we keep hirRon ing the Abgrall same men over and over and expect them to be different,” said Abgrall, chatting over coffee in a Langley City coffee shop near his apartment. This is as close to a campaign headquarters as the 49-year-old candidate has. He is courting votes through what he describes as a “fiscally responsible” campaign. “I’m not spending any money. It’s all word of mouth.”

Editor’s note — As part of its election coverage, The Times conducted extensive interviews with the candidates for mayor in Langley City and Langley Township. In this issue, the City candidates lay out their vision. On Tuesday, the stories on three candidates for mayor in the Township will be published. council three years later, Fassbender was encouraged by then-

mayor Marlene Grinnell to seek the job when she stepped down.

And that’s not the only way Abgrall is different from your average municipal candidate, he insists. “I’m not a politician,

I’m a communityminded person,” said the father of two who has lived in Langley City for the past 20 years.

Sign damage all over Township NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

On Monday evening, as Township council was conducting the last items of business for this term, volunteers from Dan Sheel’s campaign were in the area of 16 Avenue and 216 Street, repairing damage to his signs. Sheel is seeking one of the eight councillor positions. What they saw is indicative of what is happening to candidates’ signs all over. They watched as a heavy-set man got out of a beige van and took a sledge hammer to Sheel’s signs, and those of incumbent councillors Steve Ferguson and Bev Dornan. Sheel’s volunteers approached the man, and got a good look at

his face before the man got back in his vehicle and sped off. They did not get a licence number, Sheel said, but are reporting the incident to police. Sheel said that when he ran for office in 2008, he had three signs knocked down and a single complaint about placement of one sign.This year, he has had 50 vandalized or knocked down, and 14 complaints lodged against him. “They are trying to get me off focus,” Sheel said. “I’m running a professional, clean campaign.” Mayor Rick Green said he was distressed about the nature of the graffiti painted on signs. One sign was defaced with a swastika. “It’s very insulting,” Green said, adding that some of his signs had

been stolen. He added that the front of his rural mailbox was ripped off, the address marker chipped off, and on Nov. 6 an election sign at the entrance to his property was set on fire. Councillor Mel Kositsky said his signs are disappearing, too. “They seem to take the wire, wood and everything else,” he said. Mayoral candidate Jack Froese said his sign crew is kept busy replacing and repairing his signs. “We’re trying not to block traffic and other (candidates’) signs,” Froese said. Bob Wilson, the Township’s deputy chief election officer, said that he has received about a dozen complaints about placement of signs blocking intersections.

A deal may be close in talks between B.C. and the federal government to keep the RCMP as the police force for most cities. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, the municipal observer in the negotiations, said the tone of federal officials has become more cooperative and conciliatory, adding “significant” progress was made last week. “Nobody is threatening anybody at the moment,” he said after returning from negotiations in Ottawa. “I am more optimistic than I’ve been that we’ll get there.” Federal officials told B.C. in September to sign a new 20-year RCMP contract by the end of this month or else they’d begin withdrawing the Mounties in 2014. That ultimatum prompted B.C. to start assessing what it would take to launch a replacement force. Fassbender said a final deal isn’t likely by the end-of-month deadline but added a framework may be ready and he doubts Ottawa would “pull the trigger” and act on its threat if that’s the case. “I can’t see the federal government using a calendar date as the breaking point if we’re moving ahead and close to a deal.” The agreement, if concluded, will be a 20-year contract with an option every five years for any party to reopen discussions on any aspect of it, he said. Any city or province will be able to opt out of the RCMP on two years notice, he said. Ottawa hasn’t budged on B.C.’s demands for a more generous cost-sharing formula, which currently sees large cities pay 90 per cent of local RCMP costs, while smaller ones shoulder 70 per cent. But Fassbender believes new provisions, including a contract management committee, will give cities much more meaningful input and control in containing escalating RCMP costs and influencing decisions made in Ottawa on an ongoing basis. Fassbender said the provincial government is continuing to evaluate what an alternate force to replace the RCMP might look like and what might be involved. “It doesn’t hurt to know what the option is,” he said. “If a deal comes together and we sign a 20-year contract I don’t think we have to look at it as earnestly as if we weren’t going to have a deal.” Solicitor General Shirley Bond said some simpler items have been settled in the talks but complex issues remain. continued, PAGE 15

B.C. taking lead in police talks “I’m hopeful that the momentum that’s taking place in bargaining would allow us to make sure there isn’t an arbitrary deadline,” she said. Bond said cities want to keep the RCMP if possible, but “certainly not at all costs.” B.C., home to the largest number of Mounties in the country, has been thrust into a position of leading the talks on behalf of other provinces and territories. Its bargaining position eroded earlier this year when Saskatchewan and Alberta broke ranks and renewed their RCMP contracts, but with a me-too clause that also gives them any improvements B.C. negotiates.

The current RCMP contract expires at the end of March. SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said B.C. should press forward — even if there is a deal — to set up regional police forces in Metro Vancouver and Victoria to replace the current mish-mash of municipal police and RCMP detachments in those areas. “B.C. needs to proceed straight away to seriously look at the alternatives,” he said, adding that should take the form of a task force or blue-ribbon review. Advocates like Gordon maintain a regional force would be better equipped to bust gangs and other criminals who don’t care about civic borders. Gordon said civic leaders like

Fassbender seem too focused on the cost of the RCMP without considering the efficiency gains from switching to a regional force. “He’s still very much in favour of the RCMP because he can’t see a viable alternative,” Gordon said. “The municipal concerns are very parochial, focused very much on financing. There’s no talk of efficiency along with the costs.” There are 11 RCMP detachments in the Lower Mainland, including Burnaby, Richmond, North Vancouver, Langley and Surrey. Seven cities are policed by municipal forces. B.C. disbanded its former provincial police force in 1950 in favour of the RCMP.

Leftist ideology on display at camps

from PAGE 16

A glimpse of these “values” was on display when a reporter from CKNW radio tried to cover a heroin overdose at Occupy Vancouver. She was shouted down and accused of shaping the news to benefit “Coke and McDonalds.” At Occupy Victoria, which I visited a few times before it descended into another nee-

dle park, signs warned against “chem trails,” smart meters and corporations. Campers were urged to “nationalize finance, energy and food” industries. Five-year plan for tractor production, anyone? Nationalizing banks is also at the top of Occupy Vancouver’s long list of demands. Why is this stale leftist ideology so pervasive? Here’s a hint.The union representing these kids’ teachers is demanding higher

corporate taxes to pay for their typically selfserving, financially illiterate demands. Here in Victoria, as in Vancouver, the huge growth in shelter, food, clothing and transition housing service doesn’t impress the hardcore system users. Victoria’s mayor built his reputation with years of street outreach work, but he’s still targeted for the ugliest treatment, including vandalism at his family home.

Victoria council even kowtowed by voting to “support” the squat next to city hall, where Johnston used to camp. Then they cut off the power and water, which had been commandeered rather than set up by city staff at taxpayers’ expense, as was the case in Vancouver. In B.C.’s most “progressive” cities, we’re getting used to encountering public areas fouled by vomit, feces and used needles.

Visions for City shared Peter Fassbender

Much of that, he said, can be attributed to “a great staff and a council that’s willing to work together. “Municipal politics are not partisan. You’re elected to be part of a team,” Fassbender said. “If you’re elected in the City, you also have to have a regional view because we don’t live in isolation.” During his time on council, Fassbender has represented the City on outside policing, transportation, libraries and health committees, among other responsibilities. Currently, Fassbender is acting for all B.C. municipalities in the province’s ongoing negotiations with the RCMP. And while there is still work to be done, he said, progress is being made. One area that

remains a huge challenge, however, is moving people effectively around the Lower Mainland. “Transportation is an issue we have to wrestle to the ground,” Fassbender said. “Transportation is at the heart of a livable region, but the answers are not going to be easy,” he said. Asked whether it is contentment or apathy in the City that leads to minimal public engagement and low voter turnout, Fassbender replied that it is a combination. “I think it’s a bit of both. Controversy gets you noticed, but it hampers getting things done. I think there’s a fair amount of satisfaction (among City residents).” Unfortunately, he added, when it comes

to election time, that contentment translates into a poor turnout at the polls. People will come out to vote against something a politician has done rather than for something they’ve achieved, he said. “Does it concern me a little? Yeah, it does. But I’ll run the same campaign whether there is one candidate running or 10.” “If someone just runs for whatever reason and doesn’t have a vision they can articulate, that’s a disservice to taxpayers.” Fassbender cited his business background, experience as mayor and years of service on boards as attributes he brings to the job. “I’m a consensus builder and a listener,” he added. “I evaluate options, but I’m not afraid to make a decision. I’m a risk taker.” Fassbender said he’s grateful to the community for the opportunity. “It’s been a great ride, a lot of fun.There are good and bad days, but I don’t regret one second of the time I’ve committed to this at all.”

Ron Abgrall

this way, the City has problems with prostitution, drug dealing and youth violence, Abgrall said. “What do children need to feel comfortable and safe?” There need to be enough family-friendly activities to keep kids engaged and off the streets, he said. He envisions a place in the City’s light industrial area for an indoor go-kart track, for instance. “I’d spend time there with my kids.” However Abgrall believes that any growth must be funded through Development Cost Charges (DCCs), not through increased taxation of residential or business property

owners. “We need to ensure developers foot the bill for infrastructure,” he said. The former provincial Green Party candidate would like to see more focus on the environment than on more roads and buildings. The first step to achieving any of this, he said, is engaging the community through an open and transparent government. “If you’re only getting 10 people out for a public information session, you’re doing a poor job. “How do you make people care more in the City? When the food’s a little bland, you have to spice it up.”

In order to address the problems that come with aging infrastructure a plan had to be put in place. “We needed to craft a concise and forward thinking vision,” Fassbender said. More than a decade later, he’s satisfied with the results of those efforts, he said, adding that the Downtown Master Plan is moving along even more quickly than he could have imagined.

should be “The Place to Belong.” He envisions a City that includes an extensive arts and culture facility, complete with a playhouse, museum and recreation centre. Making Langley City a destination in the Lower Mainland for something other than a casino is a priority. “Instead of earning money here and spending it elsewhere, let’s have Langley City be a focal place for families to come to,” he said. “A casino — it’s a sad state of affairs if that’s what we have to draw visitors.” Though he concedes it’s hardly unique in

Early Christmas for Critter Care

A grateful Gail Martin says Christmas came early to the Critter Care Wildlife Society this year, courtesy of some generous volunteers from the Mainroad company and the provincial ministry of transportation. Martin, the founder of the Langley-based wild animal rescue and rehab, said she was taken aback when Real Charrois from Mainroad Infrastructure walked

into her office and asked of there was any work that needed doing. “Boy, do I have jobs for you,” she said. During a walk around the property Martin pointed out several possible projects, expecting Charrois would pick just one. “I told him we needed a little roof over the intern building deck, a new food shed that was rat proof and he said, ‘yes we can do that’ [then] he said what else?”

So she told him how the fawn enclosure needed an addition and how some cement slabs donated by Abbotsford Concrete needed to be laid in their new skunk nursery. “We can do all that for you,” Charrois said. And on Oct. 22, they did. A group of volunteers from Mainroad and the ministry of transportation showed up and proceeded to tackle every one of the jobs. “I can never begin to thank them for all they have done for Critter Care,” Martin said. “It hasn’t been easy getting badly needed jobs done so for me it was a dream come true.”

Learn the A to Z of bones Seminar at Langley Seniors Centre marks Osteoporosis Month NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

November is Osteoporosis Month, and gives Canadians the opportunity to learn about their risk of breaking a bone. A chance to learn about the disease will be offered on Monday, Nov. 14 when the Langley branch of Osteoporosis Canada presents the A to Z of osteoporosis and bone mineral testing density testing. The event will be at the Langley Seniors Centre, 20605 51B Ave., from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The disease, characterized by low bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, increases bone fragility and risk of fracture, particularly of the hip, spine and wrist. Speakers are well known in the osteoporosis community and will give the latest information on the role of medication, calcium and vitamin D and exercise. Osteoporosis is often known as ‘the silent thief’ because bone loss occurs without symptoms, and the risk in Canada of having a major fracture from osteoporosis is among the highest. Osteoporosis is sometimes confused with osteoarthritis, because the names are similar. Osteoporosis is a bone disease, while osteoarthritis is a disease of the joints and surrounding tissue. Every year, 30,000 Canadians break their hip, and many more Canadians suffer

At least one in three women and one in five men will suffer from an osteoporotic fracture during their lifetime. The consequences of an osteoporotic fracture can be devastating: • Both spine and hip fractures are associated with an increased risk of death; • Twenty-eight percent of women and 37 per cent of men who suffer a hip fracture will die within the year; • At least 15 to 25 per cent of hip fracture patients require admission to a nursing home; continued, PAGE 23

Association Awards of Excellence handed out

GVHBA recognizes association volunteers The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association honoured its volunteers last week at its annual Association Awards of Excellence in Coquitlam. Among the honorees were Graeme Huguet of My House Design/Build Team for RenoMark Renovator Member of the Year, and Adera Development Corporation for BuiltGreen Multi-Family Builder of the Year. “The awards honour association members for their exceptional level of volunteer commitment and dedication to enhancing the professionalism of the homebuilding and renovation industries in the Greater Vancouver area,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. Simpson himself was honoured with the Chairman’s Award of Honour, while Yosh

Kasahara of ParkLane Homes/Bluetree Group of Companies was the recipient of the Association Marketing Award. ParkLane was also given the Handshake Award (Builder), while CCI Renovations was the winner of the Handshake Award (Renovator).

The Technical Excellence Award was given to David Fisher of Mitsui Homes Canada Inc. For more information, visit the GVHBA website at www.gvhba.org.

‘There are no bad views’

Celadon an impressive sight in Coquitlam by Kerry Vital

The community of Windsor Gate in Coquitlam will soon welcome its newest addition, Celadon by Polygon Homes. The 27-storey tower is just minutes from Coquitlam Centre, and will feature exterior details such as custom metal grillwork and brick cladding. The architecture is inspired by the distinctive style of Frank Lloyd Wright, with sleek expanses of glass and an over-height lobby that will feature a beautiful stained glass panel that is currently on display in the presentation centre. Surrounded by the early phases of the community, you won’t have to go far to find everything you could possibly need. Past developments at Windsor Gate include Larkin House, Roycroft and Kensal Walk. “You get all the benefits of a masterplanned community,” says Polygon Vice-President of Marketing Goldie Alam. “It’s really feeling special here right now.” One of the most exciting things about Celadon is the huge amount of natural light that every suite will feature. It’s apparent from the show suite that the large windows and airy floorplans are tailor-made to harness every drop of sunlight, even in the sometimes-rainy Lower Mainland. Homeowners will never get tired of what is outside their window. “There are no bad views,” Alam says. You’ll be able to savour that view on your own private deck, standard in every home. The space is perfect for a morning cup of coffee or a relaxing afternoon with a good book. The high-quality finishings that

“

It’s a quiet little enclave. I don’t think you can get the value anywhere else,” says Polygon Vice-President of Marketing Goldie Alam.

Polyon is known for are sprinkled everywhere. From the natural imported marble countertops and backsplashes in the bathrooms to the sleek undercabinet lighting in the kitchens, no detail has been overlooked. Impressive gourmet kitchens include smooth stone countertops, flat-panel custom cabinetry and large-format porcelain tile flooring. Stainless-steel appliances are standard in every home, and a full-height glass tile backsplash contributes to the feeling of modern elegance. Plush nylon carpeting is featured throughout the living areas, which perfectly fits with whichever one of

the three available colour schemes you choose. The ceilings are over eight feet tall (eight feet in the kitchen), meaning you’ll never feel cramped or squashed in any room. Your ensuite bathroom is made for luxury, with a soaker tub standard in every home and oversized vanity mirrors lit by recessed lighting. The cabinets are built to appear to float above the floor, and are complemented by polished chrome hardware. Even the doors are spectacular, with sliding or swinging patio doors onto the balcony and a contemporary solid wood entrance door that is outfitted with polished chrome hardware. More than 40 of the 187 twobedroom homes were sold over the opening weekend, and since then the number has reached over 70. Suites range from approximately 758 to 1,002 square feet. Residents at Celadon will have access to a meeting room, lounge and a fitness studio, as well as Windsor Gate’s amenities building, the Nakoma Club. This 18,000-square-foot building holds a gym, screening room and an outdoor pool, as well as a meeting room and a basketball court. At Windsor Gate, you are just minutes from all types of amenities, including shopping, schools, transit and restaurants, so you won’t need to

venture far outside of the community. Owners will receive a year’s worth of one-zone transit passes when they purchase their home. Homes at Celadon start at $324,900. For more information visit www.polyhomes. com/community/celadon–apartments– coquitlam or call 604-552-7744.

CAR CARE & REPAIR Extensive test drive required when buying a car It is easy for car buying consumers to fall in love at first sight with the sleek styling and attractive exterior of their dream machine. In most North American households today, a vehicle purchase is a major financial expense, so a second look and an extensive test drive is time well invested. The physical test drive is the next step in the car buying research process. An extensive test drive can reveal many important factors not immediately obvious at first blush. Here are some basic test driving tips: Before You Drive: Walk around the car. Is it the right size for the needs of your family? Check the quality of the assembly and the tightness of the body panel alignment. Check for bubbles and pitting on the paint and chrome. Open and close the tailgate or trunk and doors. Does it sound solid and well made? Will the design allow for easy loading of luggage, sporting goods, and groceries? Be a Backseat Test Driver: Ask the salesperson to take you for a preliminary test drive. You

can focus on the ride without the distraction of driving, and you’re more likely to notice noise and overall comfort. And, of course, you can evaluate backseat room for future passengers. Find Your Fit: Get in and try the car on for size. Check the legroom and visibility. How easy is it to adjust the seats? Are the controls easy to read, reach and use? Try all of the accessories and options, such as air conditioning, the sound system, and navigation aids. On The Road: Drive the

exact model of the car you want to purchase. Pick your own route for the test drive. If possible, pick a route that mirrors your daily driving routine. It’s a good idea to test the car's ride quality and handling on a number of different road surfaces: city streets, hills, freeways, and winding roads. Power: Test the engine’s responsiveness in real-world conditions. Is there a smooth and constant delivery of power? Try merging onto the highway, passing, and stop-and-go city driving. Spend part of the test

drive with the air conditioner on to see if it drains power. Transmission: Look for smoothness and ease of operation. Listen for hesitation or straining. Handling: Check steering responsiveness. Practice long turns and sharp turns. Safely practice sudden swerves and gradual lane changes. Brakes: Your life could depend on your brakes, so put them to the test. Brake both softly and decisively to gain an accurate idea of the car’s stopping distance.

Gifts make twice the difference Proceeds help purchase cement to help build sand dams in Tanzania The most talked about gift you give this year could be a sand dam and a dragonfly. This year, the annual Living Gift festival at Ten Thousand Villages pairs development projects with Fair Trade handicrafts so that gift givers can make twice the difference. In one pairing, $40 will purchase four bags of cement to help build a sand dam in Tanzania, providing clean and accessible water while developing local ecosystems, preventing erosion, decreasing waterborne diseases and increasing school attendance for children. An additional $6 will purchase a playful Fair Trade dragonfly, made in Thailand from recycled newspaper. Ten Thousand Villages has partnered with the Mennonite Central Committee on Living Gifts since 2003, raising more than $5 million in donations. Customers have not only given very special gifts to recipients, but have also had a huge impact on the lives of countless people around the world.

Classifieds on-line www.bcclassifieds.com

Living Gifts support projects that help build long term

sustainability by providing education, food, clean water and new opportunities. This year’s projects range in price from $24 to $350, making them an excellent choice as group, teacher or individual

gifts. Gifts are available from Saturday, Nov. 5, until Saturday, Dec. 31 at all Ten Thousand Villages in Canada. The Langley location is at 20525 Fraser Highway.

Staying safe on the roads A change in season brings more wet and slippery roads, leading to a spike in road accidents in the Lower Mainland, Kirmac Collision, a collision repair specialist in Langley, knows firsthand the impact of rain on local drivers. At the beginning of the rain season, Kirmac experiences a surge of collision repairs as drivers begin to adjust their driving to the slick conditions. Kirmac Collision CEO Ian McIntosh said that after years in the collision and repair business his company has come to understand the

correlation between the weather and the types of collision and repair needs that occur as a result. “The best way to keep yourself safe on the road in any weather, especially the looming rain, is to be prepared before you hit the road,” McIntosh said. To ensure drivers reach their destination safely this rain season, Kirmac Collision has compiled nine tips to take on the road: 1. Make sure that your windshield and windows are clean, both inside and out, before driving;

2. Check headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals. Make sure the windshield wiper motor is functioning and that both wiper blades are not worn down or split; 3.Turn on your headlights and with your wipers whenever it starts raining. 4. Keep a greater than normal distance from the car ahead of you to compensate for poor braking conditions or spray from larger vehicles which can block your vision; 5. Pull over when it rains so heavily that you can’t see the edge of the road or other

vehicles. Rest areas, roadside malls and restaurants are the best places to stop until the deluge subsides; 6. When driving on the freeway, try to drive in the centre lanes as water tends to pool on the outside lanes. 7. Ensure tires are sufficient with safe tread depth; 8. Never drive tired in good weather, let alone in weather when your vision is limited by rain, and 9. Allow more time for travel; 30 minutes more is a good allowance to add to your daily commute.

Veterans will turn to the Legion for affordable housing, career counseling & trauma relief. And we’ll be there with your support. Simply text the word “POPPY” to 20222 on your mobile phone and $5 will be sent directly to the Legion’s Poppy Funds.

New car buyers in B.C. will get a break of up to $5,000 if they choose a vehicle powered by electricity, hydrogen or compressed natural gas. The point-of-sale rebate unveiled by the provincial government is part of $17 million in funding to help rev up the future of clean energy vehicles in B.C. The $2,500-to-$5,000 rebate starts Dec. 1 and covers qualifying new battery electric, hydrogen fuel cell electric, plug-in hybrid electric and natural gas models. “Manufacturers are eager to launch their new electric, plug-in hybrid electric and fuel cell cars in markets that demonstrate both high demand and with infrastructure in place,” New Car Dealers Association of B.C. CEO Blair Qualey said. “B.C. is now one of those markets.” New Democrats noted incentives for electric cars aren’t new — B.C. had exempted them from PST until 2008. But Environment Minister Terry Lake predicted the rebates will encourage buyers to go green by reducing the cost of vehicles with little to no emissions. Battery-powered electric cars cost as little as $300 per year in electricity compared to $1,500 or more for a gas-powered vehicle. Homeowners can also get an up to $500 rebate through LiveSmartBC if they install dedicated electric vehicle battery charging stations in their homes. That covers about a third of the cost of the specialized outlets, which cut recharging times in half to about six hours. Lake also pledged $6.5 million for electric vehicle charging points and upgrading existing hydrogen fueling stations. Surrey recently unveiled free public electric vehicle charging stations at its city hall and is already host to two hydrogen fueling stations. Mercedes-Benz Canada plans to make fuel cell stacks for hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles at a plant in Burnaby. B.C. is also extending the Scrap-It program, which offers owners of heavily polluting older vehicles either cash or incentives like bus passes or car-share memberships to take their old gas guzzler off the road. The push towards electric cars will put more pressure on B.C.’s power grid. Green energy advocate David Field said B.C. needs to ensure the required power comes from renewable clean sources, not imported coal-fired electricity. The province is trying to restrain electricity rate increases at B.C. Hydro, raising doubts about whether it will continue to pay extra for green energy to foster new run-of-river power plants and windmills.

Throughout the weekend, vehicles will be re-routed along 56 and 48 Avenues, while Old Yale Road will remain open for local traffic, City Council heard at its Monday night meeting. Councillor Dave Hall asked whether there would be any signs put up, asking that only local traffic use Old Yale Road. “We’re still working on a traffic plan to address the issue,” said engineer Gary Vlieg. “We don’t want to direct the volume of traffic Fraser Highway carries (onto Old Yale Road).”

In Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae

10:40am - Service 11:00am - Fort Langley Cenotaph, flypast, followed by refreshments at St. George’s Anglican Church Hall, 9160 Church Street

Remembrance Day: We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifices of those hundreds of thousands of Canadian lives will be meaningless. They died for us, for our homes, for our families, and our friends. They gave of themselves for a collection of traditions Canadians cherish, and a future we all believed in. They died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice and their valor rests with our collective national consciousness.

Design ‘a nod to active lives’ Most Fraser Valley residents not commuting to Vancouver people are choosing to live in the Fraser Valley for the access. This area not only offers access to the growing restaurant and retail hub on Surrey’s eastern border, but is also the gateway to the incredible outdoor offerings that make the Fraser Valley such a sought after place to live. Access to lakes, camping, fishing, skiing, hot springs hiking, boating, kayaking and golf are just

Marketing,Waterstone was designed to offer what Fraser Valley’s young professionals and downsizers really want — “First and foremost, value for their dollar but also a nod to the active lives they lead.” “These people don’t want to be saddled with big homes to heat and large yards to take care of on the weekends,” he said. “They want to get away and take advantage of the incredible outdoor attractions, restaurants and shopping that has kept them in the Fraser Valley in the first place.”

SURREY LANGLEY

A new development on 194 Street and 64 Avenue in Surrey is actively debunking some of the myths associated with new development in the Fraser Valley. The Fraser Valley is no longer a bunch of so-called ‘commuter communities’ — cost/ family friendly alternative to buying in Vancouver, with the trade-off being the daily drive to and from the city. In fact,Western Investor recently named Surrey as the No. 1 centre for Western Canadian real estate investors. The reality is that most people who live in the Fraser Valley don’t commute to Vancouver daily.TransLink research shows that more than 85 per cent of trips by residents south of the Fraser, stay within the region, a sharp departure from the commonly held belief that the majority of Fraser Valley residents are commuting to Vancouver for work, play, etc. In fact, more and more

some of the reasons that people choose to live in the Fraser Valley. HJ Properties designed Waterstone with this in mind. Every home at Waterstone has a view of Mount Baker, comes with plenty of storage for recreational vehicles and sporting equipment, full use of a 15,000-squarefoot clubhouse that includes a chef’s kitchen and terrace, a multimedia theatre with a 100-inch screen, a 60-foot lap pool, as well as access to trails, walkways and ponds.

Sweden through to semis

Bilous among invitees

Goalies dominate with back-to-back shutouts over U.S., Canada West GARY AHUJA Times Sports

The masked men of Sweden have stolen the show so far at the World Junior A Hockey Challenge. For the second straight night, not a single puck got past the Swedish netminders at the Langley Events Centre. On Monday, Oscar Dansk stopped 44 shots in a 1-0 victory over the United States. And on Tuesday, it was Mathias Israelssonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s turn as he stopped all 37 shots he faced in a 2-0 victory over Canada West. Erik Karlson scored on the power play eight minutes into Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game and Jesper Pettersson added the insurance goal on another man advantage early in the third. Sean Maguire was solid in goal for Canada West, stopping 28 of the 30 shots fired his way. The 2-0 start clinched top spot for Sweden in Pool A and books them a spot in one of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinal games. Canada West and the United States played last night (Wednesday) after The Timesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; deadline. In Pool B, nothing has been resolved through the first two days. Canada East was 1-0 prior to last nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game with Russia, while the Russians were 0-1.The Czech Republic split its two preliminary games, losing to Canada East 5-0 on Monday, but bouncing back to defeat Russia 4-3 on Tuesday. In that game, Radim Matus scored once and added two assists and Martin Prochazka netted the winner midway through the third period.

Above: Canada Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Alex Kerfoot came inches away from scoring during the third period, but instead had his shot ring off the post. Sweden won the game 2-0 on Tuesday to clinch top spot in their pool at the World Junior A Hockey Challenge at the Langley Events Centre. Below: Czech Republic goaltender Marek Langhamer trips up Canada East forward Jeff DiNallo behind the net during the second period of the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opening round game on Monday. The line of Matus, Petr Koblasa and Erik Nemec combined for seven points for the Czech Republic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Koblasa and Nemec each added a goal and assist to go along with Matusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; three points â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and goaltender Patrik Polivka made 40 saves to earn the win. Alexei Filippov, Arseni Khatsei and Alexei Kudreman scored for the Russians, who fought back from a twogoal deficit early in the second period to tie the game before Prochazkaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner. The winner of the pool advances directly to Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s semifinals, while the other two teams play quarter-final matches against Canada West and the U.S. The bronze medal game is Saturday at 7:30 p.m. and the gold medal match will be played Sunday at 5 p.m. Check www.langleytimes.com for more from the tournament.

2010... we go

Here again!

Hockey fans watching the CJHL Prospects games this weekend will see some names with NHL ties on the backs of a couple of the jerseys. Adam Tambellini â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whose dad Steve played in the NHL and is now the general manager of the Edmonton Oilers and whose older brother Jeff played last year with the Vancouver Canucks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is among the 40 players who will lace up this weekend at the Langley Events Centre. Tambellini will play for Canada West, while Ben Dalpe will play for Canada East. Dalpeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother Zac plays for the Carolina Hurricanes. The younger Dalpe is playing for the Pembroke Lumber Kings while Tambellini is with the Vernon Vipers. There is also one local player invited to compete. Braxton Bilous, a Langley Minor Hockey alum and defenceman for the Victoria Grizzlies, will skate on Canada Westâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roster. The players, all of whom are in town by invitation only, are considered the top 40 draft-eligible prospects in Canadian junior A hockey. The two prospects games are on Saturday at 4 p.m. and Sunday at noon.

Still Plucking Cancer at Turkey’s Party Makers Ltd.

“Work hard, party harder!” This is the

mantra of Rob (Turkey) Kielesinski, owner of Turkey’s Party Makers in Cloverdale. You need to work hard to be successful but you also need to party even harder to maintain the balance that makes for a happy life he says. Turkey has been partying harder by planning events, dances and functions since he was in the eleventh grade, and his nickname “Turkey” goes back even further. Turkey built a reputation for himself as someone who knew how to throw a great party, so it was a natural t when he opened a business to help people do just that. He hosted many Dirty Birdie Balls that were well attended and great fun. When he changed the name of his company from Surrey Party Makers to Turkey’s Party makers, customers immediately recognized the name and knew that this was the place to

Turkey’s is a wholesale party supply store that is open to the public and now available online. With 20,000+ items to choose from, if they

do not have it, they will go out of their way to get it or direct you to it. They have up to 33 colours in many products. Napkins, plates, cups, table covers, placemats, balloons, ribbons, confetti, and cutlery continue to be some of the most popular requests. Turkey’s is able to ll a single item order to even the largest orders like the 50,000 feet of black streamers recently ordered by one client. With their warehouse space it is very rare that they run out of a product.

Turkey’s has everything from the smallest detail like

birthday candles and confetti in any shape to large items like dunk tanks, candy oss and popcorn makers, carnival games and bouncy castles. They even carry items that you may never have heard of or thought of, such as submersible LED lights, feather boas, bunting, numeric sparklers, pink and black lawn amingoes, or costumes and accessories.

go for everything you need for a party, and

have been doing so for 32 years now. Turkey has and continues to give back to the community where he works and lives. He is a contributing member of many community boards and organizations. He has coached children’s sports teams, is a public speaker and continues to plan events. One that is close to his heart is Turkey’s Annual Marion Cancer Fund Golf Tournament. This year’s 17th annual raised $5,175 which he matches for a total of $10,350.00, these monies go directly to the BC Cancer Foundation. Turkey says choosing a theme or even some

colour goes a long way to making your event one that people will talk about long after it is over. These can be added inexpensively with balloons, streamers, napkins, paper plates etc. All events that you host should be memorable Turkey says, even something as simple as a seminar or small get-together. When guests walk into a room and are greeted with a theme or colour, they cannot help but smile and be in a better mood. People having fun will learn more, dance more, donate more etc. and are more likely to return for your next event.

Kodiaks sixth

Turkey’s customer service is second to none in the industry. Turkey himself and his 15 staff are

always willing and happy to help you nd what you need. They carry both economical and quality versions of many products. With their knowledge they will likely have suggestions to bring your ideas to life.

With Turkey’s carrying every season all year round, the possibilities are endless!

Let’s talk Turkey. Sometimes I wonder if anyone reads these ads, especially thanking the people who donate to the cause. A lot of you out there have had to help collect gifts and donations from people and that alone is a donating task. And sooner or later business are going to cut back or just say no, because it doesn’t help their business. So let’s give this a try – pop your head in, e-mail or phone any of the businesses on the list to the right and just tell them “Thanks for helping Turkey ‘pluck’ cancer”. Trust me, it will make you and them feel great! Thanks! –– Turkey

The Credo Christian Kodiaks were minutes away from advancing to the semifinals when a late goal derailed them. The senior boys’ soccer team was in Kamloops for the Single A provincial soccer championships. And needing just a tie from the final pool game — which would have given them top spot in the group and a place in the final four — the Kodiaks conceded the go-ahead marker to the Pemberton Red Devils, losing 2-1. The loss placed them in second in their group. In the playoff round, Credo rebounded to defeat the Unity Christian Flames 4-1 before losing the fifth/ sixth place game 1-0 to the Southridge Storm. In the team’s pool games, the Kodiaks defeated the Immaculata Mustangs 5-2 and the Fraser Lake Cougars 4-0 before losing to Pemberton. Matt Aikema, Justin Deddens, Devon Stam, David Kienaker and goalkeeper Emmanuel Renato earned game MVP awards. Kienaker received the Commissioner’s 11 award for Credo. And defender Michael Byzitter was solid on defence the entire tournament for the team.

Olympians’ swimmers make a splash at meet Joshua Kim, Josie Field and Hillary Metcalfe placed first overall in their respective categories at the Vancouver Pacific Swim Club’s invitational meet at the UBC Aquatic Centre last week. Swimmers 10 and under competed in the octathlon, where they swam eight events over two days. Swimmers 11 and up took part in the decathlon, completing 10 events over the weekend. Kim and Fields, who are both nine-years-old, took top spot in their respective divisions. Kim was tops in all eight of his events, and also set a new meet record in the 100 individual medley. It was also a new club record. Field finished first in

six of her eight events, while swimming a personal best in all eight. Metcalfe, 13, also set a new club record in the 100 IM. They were not the only members of the Langley Olympians Swim Club who returned with hardware from the meet. Jaime Lavoie, Meredith Clark and Justin Schramm all placed second in their respective age groups, while Hugh McNeill and Avery Martin were third. Lisa Grier was fourth and Bailey Herbert was sixth. Altogether, more than 370 swimmers from 11 clubs across the Lower Mainland took part in the season’s first shortcourse (25m) meet.

Windsor kicks her way to first at B.C.’s GARY AHUJA Times Sports

Gary LUTES/Walnut Grove Secondary School

A trio of local runners: Brookswood’s Adam Marshall (#321) and Walnut Grove’s Sean Burnett (#590) and Max Proske (#594) competed at the B.C. high school track and field championships in Kelowna.

Bears ground Falcons The North Langley Bears had no problem moving the ball — they had 300 yards of total offence — but had troubles finding the end zone. But thanks to a strong defensive effort, the bantam football team defeated the Abbotsford Falcons 12-6 on Saturday at McLeod Park. David Fredo scored both North Langley touchdowns — one rushing and the other on a pass from Braeden Pritchard — and the defence came up with four interceptions, three fumble recoveries and a blocked kick. David Nathan, Adrian Clements, Michael Chan and Tyler Aasen all had interceptions, while Eric Boomars, Kyle Isaacson and Won-Jae Boo had fumble recoveries. The win improved North Langley to 5-4 in the Valley Community Football League and a win in their season finale will earn them a playoff spot. The North Langley junior bantam team fell 30-8 to Chilliwack Red Giants. Zander Bailey scored the Bears touchdown on a nice 40-yard run.

A silver medalist a season ago, Ashley Windsor would not be denied her second time around. The Walnut Grove Grade 12 student captured the senior girls’ cross-country provincial championship on Saturday. The race was held at Kelowna’s Telemark Ski Area. Windsor completed the 4.5 kilometre course in 16:40.51, 13 seconds ahead of the Salmon Arm’s Emmy Sim. “It was probably the hardest course I have ever seen in my 19 years of cross-country,” said

Gators coach Don Sparks. “I haven’t seen anything as difficult as this.” The course was very hilly and the ground was frozen, which meant lots of rolled ankles for the competitors as there was little give as their feet pounded the race course. Some pre-race scouting, as well as her natural aptitude on hills, probably worked in Windsor’s favour. The morning of the race, coach and athlete looked at the final corner that led to the finish. And sure enough, with about 250m to go in the race, Windsor’s angle towards

the inside corner was able to create some separation from Sim heading into the final hill on the course. From there, Windsor built on her advantage and crossed the finish line in first place. “We planned the finish and she executed it perfectly,” Sparks said.“She surged at the right time.” Altogether, the Gators girls’ team placed fifth in B.C. while the boys’ also cracked the top 10, finishing ninth. Two hundred and 80 runners took part in the girls’ race. Other Walnut Grove finishes included: Meg Harradine

(58th), Andrea Robinson (66th), Dallas Tilley (90th), Danica Matson (97th), Taylor Gillis (104th) and Sam Gillis (119th). In the boys’ 6 kilometre race, Max Proske was the top Walnut Grove runner, coming in 38th out of 286 runners, in a time of 25:43.62. Other Walnut Grove finishes included: Sean Burnett (42nd), Brandon Drake (67th), James Lam (114th), Will Tsai (183rd), Kieran Jenkins (195th) and Richard Torres (215th). Brookswood’s Adam Marshall was 50th and Langley Christian’s Eli Kastelein was 94th.

When Kristen Funk arrived in Langley, she was just hoping to push for some playing time as the keeper for the Trinity Western Spartans women’s soccer team. Four years later, her name is etched in the program’s record books. No goalkeeper in the program’s history has made as many saves as the fourth-year keeper. She still has one season of eligibility remaining. In fact, this past season, the fourth-year student played every minute in goal during Canada West conference play. “When I got here, I was just going to work my hardest to try and start,” she said about arriving from Calgary to the Trinity Western campus in time for the 2008 soccer season. “I was just striving to get some playing time; I didn’t know if I would or not.” In four seasons in the Spartan uniform, Funk has stopped 227 shots, surpassing former Spartan Angela Garriott, who saved 216 shots during her tenure. And regardless of how big they are — she backstopped the team to a victory in penalty kicks in the 2009 national championship game as well as in the national championship semifinal game the year before — there is no real description Funk can offer. “You are in the zone and it just happens,” she said. “Your body just reacts. You are not thinking ‘I need to make this save,’ it is just that your body knows what are ready to do.” One thing is clear: a save definitely gets the adrenalin pumping. “After you make a save, your heart is just racing and you feel almost shaky,” she said. Funk’s introduction to goalkeeping came when she was nine or 10 years old when a parent on the team asked if anyone wanted to give the position a try. Funk volunteered, enjoyed it and spent the next few years splitting time between the crease and her other position, as a centredefender. When she was 14, a coach

Goal scorers have found Trinity Western goalkeeper Kristen Funk rather stingy during her four seasons in a Spartans uniform. made her choose and also encouraged her to seriously consider goalkeeping. “I really enjoy how you can watch the game develop,” she said. “It is a very high pressure situation and I really enjoy it.” Funk hasn’t looked back since permanently switching positions. After finishing high school in Calgary, she made her way west to Trinity Western. Spartans coach Graham Roxburgh was told she was the “best young keeper in western Canada, and possibly all of Canada at the youth level.” “She brought such a professional presence when she visited that I knew she was a player we had to get and build around,” he said. “We knew coming in she would step in and start because she is strong mentally and physically.” She joined the team in 2008 and helped the Spartans capture back-to-back CIS national championships. The team made the postseason in 2010, but failed to advance to nationals. But the team has come back with a vengeance in 2011. After a season-opening loss, the Spartans reeled off a 13-game unbeaten streak — which included a dozen victories — to finish atop the

Canada West in the regular season. Funk has been a big part of that success, earning first-team Canada West all-star honours with some sparkling numbers: an 0.50 goals against average, an .851 save percentage and seven shutouts while playing every moment of the team’s 16 games (14-1-1). Over the weekend at the Canada West final four championships, the Spartans beat Victoria and edged Alberta 2-1 in penalty kicks. Both Alberta and Trinity Western advanced to the CIS national championships, which run this weekend at Montreal’s McGill University. The Spartans are not the only team Funk has played for recently. Last summer, she joined the Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Expected to play a back-up role, she was instead thrust into the starter’s position in the early part of the season because of an injury to the team’s No. 1 keeper. Funk’s summer did have some setbacks, however. Scheduled to represent Canada at the FISU (World University) Games in China — she also played at the Games in Serbia in 2009 — an ankle injury the week before training camp nixed those plans.

When family ties are broken & our loved one has to part It leaves a never-healing wound deep within the heart. As time goes by without her & days turn into years We recall the fond memories & we shed many tears Remembering Michelle is easy, we do it every day Losing her is the heartache that never goes away We think of her in silence & no eyes can see us weep So many silent tears are shed while others are asleep Our lives go on without her but nothing is the same We hide the heartache when someone speaks her name Sad are those who love her, silent are the tears that fall Living our lives without her is the hardest part of all Never to return are the special times with all of us together But in our minds & in our hearts she’ll be with us forever

ENGAGEMENTS

Michelle, Always loving; Always loved; An inspiration to All, Is lovingly remembered & sadly missed by her family & friends

OBITUARIES

EPP

Kay September 4, 1935 - October 30, 2011

Rudi, loving husband, father, brother, uncle and friend went home to be with his Lord and Saviour, November 5, 2011. Rudi was born in Chilliwack, British Columbia and spent his childhood and youth living in various parts of Canada. As a young adult he settled in the Fraser Valley where he met his love, Monika Braun. They were married for 41 years and have two wonderful sons and a daughter in law. Rudi was an outgoing, fun loving person who was always ready to make a new friend. He was as comfortable visiting the elderly as he was playing with small children. He worked in construction and as a Provincial Corrections officer. He enjoyed his building projects, cross-stitching, singing in church, and cracking corny one-liners. He had a passion for serving others, and made 15 trips to Tijuana, Mexico feeding and building houses for the poor, visiting orphanages, and spreading the Good News of Jesus Christ. His faith and love in the Lord carried him through the ups and downs in life to his final hour. He is survived by his wife, Monika; sons David (Sara) and Stephen; brothers Bruno (Elizabeth), Martin (Barbara), and Alvin (Margaret); sisters Anna (Adolf), Susan (Werner), Lydia (Leslie), Linda (Victor) and Viola; brother-in-law Bruno (Carolyn); sister-in-law Hilda (Rudy); and many, many nieces and nephews. He is happy to be reunited with his parents, his mother and father-in-law, and 4 brothers in heaven, but those of us here on earth will miss him dearly. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the MCC Africa Food Relief Project or the Bethel Tijuana Mexico Support Project. Service of Thanksgiving & Celebration Saturday, November 12, 2011 at 10:30 am Bethel Mennonite Church 24687 - 56 Avenue Langley, B.C. Interment to take place following reception at Valley View Memorial Gardens & Funeral Home 14644 - 72nd Avenue Surrey, B.C. online condolences to the family may be made to www.wiebeandjeskefh.com Wiebe & Jeske Funeral Services 604.857.0711

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our mother Kay Hoschka at the age of 76. She is predeceased by her husband Andrew and son Danny. She will be lovingly remembered by her three sons Ken(Julie), Eric (Heather), Bruce(Lesley), and her five grandchildren, Nonda, Derek, Brooklyn, Benjamin, Lucas, as well as many extended family and friends. Kay in her earlier years was a business woman, owning her own business, and later on doing bookwork for businesses. She was a lover of animals and was involved in the horse community after moving to B.C. with her husband and children in 1964. In later years she was involved in the cattle industry, raising Simmental cattle. Kay loved gardening and could hardly wait for spring to arrive so she could get out into the garden and dig around. She could make anything grow. She would always say, “What do you mean you can’t grow impatience in the sun”’ and then prove us all wrong. From looking after a friends goats through the summer months, to having cattle in her side field to care for, to loving her faithful dog Bandit till the end, she was a woman to be admired. Her greatest joy however, was the raising of her children and her love of life centered around her grandchildren, always interested in their ever changing life as they grew up. The coffee pot was always on at 5:30 in the morning and over the last 22 years her sons enjoyed having that time with their mother, every morning. A Celebration Of Life will be held on December 3, 2011 at “The Farm”. Come with memories and stories to share. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to your local SPCA. ------Till we meet again----Online condolences to the family may be made to www.wiebeandjeskefh.com Wiebe & Jeske Funeral Services 604.857.0711
