Protest over Langley RCMP shooting

Dylan The B.C. Lions website describes Reichelt his father Bill Reichelt as “one of the most experienced trainers in professional sports.”
After his 22-year-old son Alvin Wright died from a police-inflicted gunshot, Al Wright said the family kept quiet and stayed out of the media spotlight because they trusted the investigation by the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) would bring justice. That changed after the VPD decided there was no grounds for criminal charges in the August, 2010 incident and refused to forward a report to the Crown prosecutor’s office for charge assessment. Al On Sunday, about Wright 100 people protested that decision outside the B.C. regional headquarters of the RCMP in Vancouver. “Responsibility, accountability, that’s what the people want,” they chanted. Al Wright was one of the speakers. “Justice for Alvin is what we want and justice for everyone is what we need,” he told The Times following the rally. “Something’s got to change” He said if his son had died in a workplace accident, the case would have received a more thorough investigation than the one the VPD carried out. Wright warned the Langley shooting and other recent incidents of police misconduct have eroded public faith in law enforcement, particularly the RCMP.

‘This is Willoughby-type density in Murrayville’
Charges in RCMP pepper spray attack Undercover officers attacked during foot pursuit DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
An 18-year-old Langley man has been charged with using pepper spray to assault two undercover Langley RCMP officers. Dallas Ball has been charged with assaulting a police officer, assault with a weapon and willfully resisting or obstructing a police officer. He was arrested Nov. 2 in the City of Langley shortly after the incident. The two Langley RCMP Street Enforcement Unit officers spotted two men
walking through an alley, one of them wanted on an outstanding warrant. When the plainclothes Mounties identified themselves as police, both suspects turned and ran and the officers gave chase. As they pursued the males in the 5600 block of 206 Street, the man with the outstanding warrant turned and sprayed the officers with bear spray. Both were treated at the scene by paramedics. A short time later, Ball was arrested. The suspect has since been released from custody. He is scheduled to appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Nov. 21. Police said the other suspect has been identified, but no charges are expected.

LRT for rapid transit an option: Lekstrom Minister responds to Langley, Surrey calls for light rail system JEFF NAGEL Black Press
A pledge by Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom to consider light rail transit (LRT) technology to expand rapid transit south of the Fraser is a significant step forward, area mayors say. The minister isn’t excluding SkyTrain, but
has made it clear all options are on the table and recognized Surrey’s rapid growth. “We are examining the use of LRT as well as the potential for bus rapid transit and SkyTrain technology to provide frequent, fast and reliable service to communities south of the Fraser River,” he said in a Nov. 9 letter
to mayors, adding that work is continuing in partnership with TransLink and local cities. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said he’s taking the statement as a shift in the province’s stance from that of former Premier Gordon Campbell, who had vowed to extend SkyTrain in Surrey down the Fraser Highway to Langley. Fassbender and Surrey Mayor Dianne
Watts have both been advocating for LRT. “It’s a recognition that LRT is one of the options we want to seriously look at,” Fassbender said. “There may be some good rationale for expansion of SkyTrain to Guildford, for example, but not necessarily coming out to Langley city centre,” he said. Advocates see at-grade LRT with more local stations as a technology that can better connect neighbourhoods within
a city, rather than SkyTrain, which critics say is more oriented to speeding commuters to and from the rest of the region. Watts said in her letter to Lekstrom an at-grade rail system is “integral” to connecting town centres and supporting businesses and economic development. Merchants are less likely to benefit from elevated SkyTrain lines because potential continued, PAGE 5
Without comment, Township council has approved a development which opponents say will bring Willoughby-style density to Murrayville. On Nov. 7, council adopted a bylaw that rezones eight acres on the northeast corner of 48 Avenue and 228 Street for a phased development of 310 units, 200 of which are for seniors. Sandhill Developments proposes to build a mix of housing, such as duplexes, townhouses, stacked townhouses, and apartments that allow seniors to “age in place.” The application required an amendment to the Murrayville Community Plan to extend the urban boundary and designate the site institutional. Previously zoned for small farm country estates, the land is not in the Agricultural Land Reserve, although there is property in the ALR to the north. Langley Christian Elementary lies to the east, a church to the west, and four country estate lots to the south. At council’s third reading of the bylaws in July, Councillor Kim Richter remarked that the development “is just way too dense for that area.” “We are talking about buffering agriculture but I don’t see how 1,000 people on eight acres is buffering agriculture. This is Willoughby-type density on the outskirts of Murrayville, and it’s not appropriate,” she said. Before the final vote, Richter said the development “is far to dense for Murrayville and it’s pushing the boundary (of Murrayville) too far.” The approvals passed with only Richter and Mayor Rick Green voting against the development.

Rail for the Valley backs Green Rail for the Valley has endorsed Rick Green’s bid for re-election as mayor of Langley Township. “Among South of Fraser politicians, his efforts have been outstanding in ensuring that people understand that there are affordable and practical solutions available to our transit problems,” said Rail For the Valley founder Dr. John Buker. “ Green deserves unique recognition from us, for his work so far.”
Rail for the Valley singles out Green for pushing to renew passenger rights on the Interurban corridor. These rights would have quietly expired two years ago, giving Canadian Pacific Raliway a huge financial windfall, without the public even knowing, had Green not intervened, Buker said. If the public had lost these rights, any hope of implementing a future Interurban service at an affordable cost to the taxpayer
would have disappeared forever, he added. Green was also praised for creating a South of Fraser Community Rail Task Force and consistently advocating for timely and cost-effective transportation alternatives to TransLink. Rail for the Valley is a Chilliwack-based organization that is advocating for use of the Interurban corridor for rapid transit from Surrey to Chilliwack.

Outstanding service
Vote timing is fitting
T
his year’s Remembrance Day service at Langley City’s new cenotaph was outstanding in so many ways, and the City deserves a great deal of credit for taking leadership and ensuring that the service didn’t simply fade away. Last year, The Times received many complaints from those who attended the service outside the new Legion branch on 56 Avenue. They said they couldn’t hear or see the event, given the access to the building. Crowds at Remembrance Day events all over Canada have been growing substantially in recent years, and Langley City’s is no exception. The Legion has suffered a loss of members, largely due to the fact that Second World War veterans are in their 80s and 90s. It was becoming more of a challenge for the organization to handle all the details of the service. The City decided that it would build a new (and striking) cenotaph in Douglas Park, and take full advantge of the stage that was built under the Spirit Square program. While work started quite late, it proceeded quickly and everything was in perfect order on Friday. MP Mark Warawa also helped, by going to bat for the City for a $50,000 federal grant towards the cenotaph. This year, there were no problems in hearing the service. The crowds were very large, despite rainy and cold weather. Thankfully, the rain stopped during the service itself. It was also easier to see, although it is a flat site and thus those in the back will have trouble seeing all the activity. Being able to hear is a key improvement. The flypast was great, and the march of the remaining veterans into the square in front of the cenotaph was greeted with sustained applause by those who appreciate their service on behalf of all Canadians. It was also fitting that the family of Pvt. Garrett Chidley laid a wreath, as the Langley man was killed in Afghanistan while on duty with Canada’s military. It was a sad reminder that we still live in a world of war, and some are ready to give their lives to defend our way of life. The Douglas Park site has another advantage. There is no traffic noise to diminish from the event. Another great feature in the City this year is the banners picturing veterans. This initiative of Downtown Langley Business Association is winning praise from many sources. It was a Nov. 11 to remember.

t’s rather fitting that Remembrance Day falls a week before North Okanagan residents head to the polls to elect new mayors, councils, school board trustees and regional district directors. Casting a ballot is something we take for granted, to the point that voter turnout is consistently low. Compare that with Syria where protesters put their lives on the line against a ruthless regime. In many parts of the world, raising concerns about government can lead to you being imprisoned or tortured. Libya faces an uncertain future after overthrowing four decades of tyranny. The fact that we can vote and openly ask our candidates questions at forums is a direct result of the sacrifices made on the battle fields in the two world wars, as well as Korea and subsequent conflicts. Young men and women, many of them from the North Okanagan, lost their lives so we can enjoy the community we live in today. Imagine merchants and cyclists not being able to petition city hall over changes to streets? What if Coldstream residents could not challenge their council over development costs? Lumby residents were able to provide input on a proposed prison. In some countries, an arbitrary decision would be made. Remembrance Day creates visions of aging veterans from wars long ago, but their actions still have a very real impact on our society today. Just the fact that you are reading this editorial proves that. We urge everyone to take time to remember our fallen soldiers and those still among us. Give thanks for the freedoms they have given us. —Vernon Morning Star (Black Press)

Attestations ring a little bit false Editor: Those who weren’t at the Langley Township council meeting on Nov. 7 missed performances by several council members that would rate star billing in any amateur dramatic group. There was grandstanding, sometimes with shouting, chest thumping and waving of arms, recitations of hours spent in traffic jams and meetings in the thrall of the Township and Metro Vancouver. There were avowals of honesty which seemed far
beyond human aspiration and tragic tales of trust betrayed. It was very heavy stuff. But for Messrs Ferguson, Kositsky, Ward and Long and Madame Richter, where was the honesty between 2005 and 2010, when they repeatedly denied any responsibility for the scourge of landfills which afflicted rural Langley, destroying topsoil, silting streams and flooding neighbours’ properties? These long-time councillors, part of the 2005 council, supposedly serving the inter-
ests of Langley residents, quietly handed over authority to the ALC. For five long years, they sat listening to the litany of woes about the landfill problem, wringing their hands and wiping their crocodile tears, while declaring total impotence. Don’t all those attestations of service to the community, crystalline honesty and trust ring just a mite false? Margaret Ormston, Langley
Citizens deserve a response from councillors Editor: Langley Township elects its council under an at-large system, as opposed to a ward system. No doubt the councillors prefer the at-large system, as they are much less accountable to the electorate. However, councillors will argue that under this system all councillors represent all of the residents, other than just the residents of their ward. That’s a lot of bull. As a resident, I know exactly who my MLA and MP are, but I have no idea who represents me on council. Can you imagine the chaos if we elected our provincial and federal members under an at-large system. The chaos is no different at the civic level, just smaller in scope. But, let us say that we agree that all councillors represent all residents. If that is the case, then whenever I write to my mayor and council I expect a reply from the mayor and every council member. Those who do not respond apparently
do not think they work for me, a resident who pays taxes. So who do they work for, and why are they being paid with taxpayers hard-earned money? I live in Langley Township and any councillor or mayor who does not respond to a residents’ query must be fired. It is as simple as that. Rob Hall, Langley Editor: In November, 2010, I wrote a letter to the mayor and all the councillors on the Langley Township council. The letter addressed the lack of timely planting of street trees on one section of 68 Avenue. It was over four years before the developer came in and planted some street trees, three trees for seven houses. One of these street trees has been dead for over two years and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.
I did receive an e-mail from the Township landscape design co-ordinator that they did a review for acceptance of the street trees but the agent doesn’t appear to care. I believe that the policy of having three years or more to replace trees that the developer has destroyed is not good. That is far too long. The trees should be replaced immediately following the construction of the houses. Kim Richter was the only person on the council who had the courtesy to respond to my letter. She called me and said that she would address the problem at the next council meeting. I plan to vote for Richter, because she appears to be the only member of the council who always brings forward valid questions about the size and scope of the development and does not rubber stamp each application. Dianne Baker, Langley
Editor: When do we start having a serious conversation about climate change at the community level? The recent phenomenon of rapid, humaninduced change and its impacts is not new. What is new is that the conversation has moved from arguments that doing something about climate change will be too costly to the economy to recognizing that doing nothing may be even more costly. A recent report by the National Roundtable on the Environment and the Economy stated that climate change will cost Canada and its people about $5 billion a year by 2020. Costs will continue to climb steeply, to between $21 billion and $43 billion a year by the 2050s, and eventually as much as $91 billion — depending on how much action is taken on reducing global greenhouse gas emissions. The typical response from the local politician is that it belongs in the realm of provincial and federal authorities.
The individual cannot be expected to solve the problem, and we’ve already picked the low hanging fruit, such as recycling programs. Now comes the heavy lifting. It is going to require a community effort, with community sacrifice. I can already hear the arguments as to why we can’t do it. There is still denial out there about the existence of climate change and that is understandable. When people are afraid, they switch off. Politicians also show a lack of generosity of spirit. An example on the local level is where politicians have argued against the two cents a litre gas tax on the grounds that another community benefits more. If that argument flies, childless couples should not have to pay school taxes. There will be those who will argue that we can’t move the politician to set aside parochial interests. The real answer is that they can, if we make them. If they have not acted, it is because we did not lobby them
strongly enough. I’m not the only elector who is concerned about climate change. And a groundswell of action at the municipal level, where the real work of building and supporting community gets done, is soon noticed at the provincial and federal levels. The conversation needs to start now, during this upcoming municipal election period. As voters, we are the ones that should be setting the election agenda and not buy into platitudes. We need to demand that all mayoralty and council candidates tell you what initiatives they will propose and champion. If they want our support, they need to step up and take a leadership role in our community on this critical issue. Waiting for someone else to solve this challenge is just not good enough, and 2050 is within many of our and our children’s lifetimes. John Evanochko, Langley

The
HE’S MAYOR MATERIAL Editor: I have known Jack and Debbie Froese for close to 20 years. Jack possesess a great deal of respect and integrity as to how he conducts himself, not just in everyday situations but in business as well. I feel that he will be the mayor we can all be proud of. He has people skills, he understands fairness and most of all is an inspiration. If you have any concerns that Jack Froese isn’t mayor material, well all I can say is you don’t know Jack. On Nov. 19, be a part of the solution, not part of the problem. Vote. Jasmine Marjanovic, Langley
CAMERA WAS NEEDED Editor: Robert Dziekanski’s tragic death at the hands of the RCMP and their subsequent cover up was a wake-up call to us all. Unfortunately, it appears when there is no handy Good Samaritan around with a camera, the RCMP are right back at it. Enter Langley RCMP Supt. Derek Cooke, doing his best to exonerate his fellow RCMP officer in the tragic death of Alvin Wright. I guess without the hidden camera, we must now listen to Supt. Cooke try to convince us that Alvin indeed had a knife and not a stapler. Michael Belway, Langley
SOFTEST TARGETS Editor: I note a number of yellow signs from the firefighters’ union making their appearance throughout the Township. The current tax and spend council incumbents the IAFF are endorsing obviously represent the softest target from whom to extract or extort maximum wage and benefit packages at the next contract negotiation. As salaries for firemen are the highest proportion of the annual budget, this represents a major threat to the pocketbooks of all citizens. Fiscal selfpreservation alone means vote for anyone but the slate endorsed by the IAFF Local 4550. Most citizens don’t realize the fire department invoices them for attending any incident it attends. If you are lucky enough to have insurance, it is paid by the underwriter. If not, the $500/hour invoice is handed to you. And you thought it was covered by the exorbitant taxes you were paying to look after the boys in blue. Lee Lockwood, Aldergrove

Editor: As a candidate with modest means, running a campaign for a seat on the Township council has been a challenge. A large part of any campaign is run on the 3 Ms — money, manpower and marketing. Signage in a campaign encompasses all three of these aspects — money to buy them, manpower to put them up and marketing to get our names out there. Many of the candidates are also doing these 3 Ms on their own. Like you, I too am overwhelmed by the number of signs in our beautiful town. And as a resident and a candidate, it is a conflicting feeling. I need them up so you know my name, but man, it’s ugly out there. Part of the democratic process of voting is allowing candidates to campaign. And although annoying and ugly, it is a necessary process that needs to be exercised. The signs are only up for 20 days every three years. It’s not a long time, just an intense time. Some of us do not have many signs, in fact,
any we have go unnoticed due to the overkill of others. People chronically complain that they don’t know who to vote for, or what our platforms are. Signs with my name on it alert you to the fact that I exist as a candidate and that I have a message for you. So when my signs go missing, are knocked down or thrown in the street, it is costing me time away from talking to you, money from my own pocket and a message I am trying to get out. All candidates are experiencing this, but unfortunately the impact on some candidates is greater as they have so few signs to begin with. I ask members of the public to please tolerate this short process and not remove, throw or damage signs or turn a blind eye to those who do. And parents, please talk to your kids.

Leadership important for board Editor: I feel compelled to correct a statement made by Tracie Northway (The Times, Nov. 3,) where she quotes Wendy Johnson as saying “the huge school district debt resulted from the inattention of previous trustees.”The Deloitte Report clearly states that the errors could not be attributed to the board. If Johnson wants to throw blame, then some of it has to adhere to herself and Trustee Rob McFarlane. The errors spanned both board terms. I do agree that we need to
look carefully at all the candidates and that we need strong leadership at the board table, but let’s make sure that leadership is not only strong, but also positive and independent. Johnson may be a strong leader, but not all leadership is positive. As a trustee, her leadership created havoc when she tried to reverse the middle school plan already accepted by the Aldergrove community. I want leadership that has the courage to stand firm despite intense pressure and personal
abuse. Alison McVeigh and Rod Ross have proven they can do that, as has Kari Medos, as as PAC president at LSS. I want leadership that is independent and doesn’t owe anything to any group. This coming year will see intense union negotiations. Boards will vote on the contracts. No doubt the unions, whose job it is to bargain the best deal for their members, will be supporting and endorsing those candidates whom they consider to be allies. Hattie Hogeterp, Aldergrove
from PAGE 8
for her. But that begs a question. How are we, the electorally illiterate electorate, supposed to know who to vote for if we aren’t given a sign? A little sidebar below the Arnason story provides an answer. With no headline, the story states: “Potential voters… can check out candidate videos on The Times’ website, www. langleytimes.com.” And you note that fully 52 of the 58 candidates running for office in the City and Township have videos on your site. Excellent. But that begs another question: Why not make it front page news — in every edition — that you are making these videos available? Then our candidates would know that their stories — not just their names — will be seen and heard by huge numbers of voters.
Voters would know that we have the opportunity to learn those stories through your website. I know you publish a pull out section (“Langley votes”) that gives candidates an opportunity to respond to your questions, but if your website was heavily publicized, and perhaps gave visitors an opportunity to ask questions of candidates, I think it could double the turnout at our next municipal election. It would also sharply reducing the flow of plastic into our landfills. Neil Godin, Langley Editor’s note — We have frequently mentioned the videos in the pages of The Times, and we thank the letter writer for doing so again. They will remain online until Friday.

Videos give voters key information
izing that these signs do most of them no good at all. Many people don’t vote in local elections because all they know about the horde of candidates is the names they’ve seen on their signs — with little or nothing about the person. Many see the waving ocean of signs, and all those meaningless names, and just give up. One candidate seems to acknowledge reality. On Nov. 8 you published a story about Petrina Arnason, a candidate for Township council, saying she has heard complaints about visual clutter, but hasn’t heard anyone question the ecological impact of all that plastic waste. You reported that she is taking a stand by not putting up any election signs at all. Good

All-candidates Candidates stick to answering audiences’ questions NATASHA JONES Times Reporter
In stark contrast to the contentious nature that pockmarked Township politics for the past three years,Wednesday’s all-candidates meeting went smoothly and was absent of heckling. That could be partly explained by the format chosen by the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce which invited the audience at the Langley Events Centre to submit only written questions. No questions were allowed from the floor. As many candidates were unable to keep to their allotted time for their introductions or responses, timekeeper Angie Quaale’s hand never hovered far from the bell. Incumbent councillor Bob Long got in the line of the night in response to a question which gauged support for a properly licensed medical marijuana dispensary in the Township. The audience laughed at his response:“No,” Long said.“It should go in Langley City.” The issue has been a bone of contention in the City. The question drew vastly different responses. Ben Penner, who is running with the Vote Langley Now slate, said he does not support a dispensary for medicinal marijuana.The drug should be available from a regulated pharmacy, he said. Another slate candidate, Dorothy McKim, said that as a cancer survivor, she supports the idea.“It makes a huge difference,” she said. “It’s something we should seriously be looking at,” she said. Murray Jones said he has friends who suffer from cancer and need marijuana to get them through chemotherapy. “It’s no different from the way the U.S. treated alcohol in the 1930s and ’40s,” he said. Firefighter Dan Sheel said that in his 23 years in the emergency service, he has seen the fallout “when these things get into residential areas.There has got to be a better way. It (dispensaries) should not be in residential neighbourhoods.” Responding to a question on starting a dialogue with the City on a reunification study, Petrina Arnason said that redundancies must be examined, especially in the current economic climate. But even if there is no political will for a study, the Township should work with the City to find efficiencies, she said. Calling it “an extremely positive step,” Sonya Paterson said that most Langley residents would vote

meeting runs smoothly at LEC in favour of a study. “It’s a discussion that needs to take place,” she said. Vote Langley Now candidate Carla Robin said yes to dialogue, adding that there is a process that could be looked at “but I’d say that at this point amalgamation is a non-issue.” Bert Chen, a member of the Langley Unification Association, said that with 15,000 Township residents signing a petition “there is overwhelming support” for a study. On a question that gauged candidates’ support for “re-opening the antiquated Brookswood Community Plan and ensure that the downtown remains vibrant,” Rick Manuel said that while canvassing in that community, he has found support for that process, which he too endorses. “I think it’s time that Brookswood was looked at again,” said Kim Richter, adding that a lot of people have “waited patiently” for that opportunity. Vote Langley Now candidate Tony Malyk supported the notion, urging caution so that the bad decisions in Willoughby and the Bedford Langley development in Fort Langley where there
was “sizable and passionate” opposition from council, are not repeated. “People should decide (and) council would be the lever that makes it happen.” Responding to a question on high density to bring in more public transit, Rebecca Darnell said she did not believe that high density should be encouraged only to get transit. She advocates a mix of housing and emphasis on preserving farmland. On how to deal with Langley’s rising crime, Grant Ward said that stopping drugs will stop crime, and Misty vanPopta said that she would like to see crime prevention strategies that focus more on youth. Asked if they supported an incinerator in Langley to burn waste, David Davis said yes “because I don’t like passing the buck” to other municipalities. Asked for a solution to working with Langley City for overpasses and other infrastructure,Terry Sheldon supported that idea, adding that “perhaps we can get more money out of the government to build overpasses.” To the question about a bylaw to restrict homeowners from
chopping down trees, and a bylaw requiring trees to be replaced, Wayne Crossen said that people should have the right to remove trees if they are a nuisance or a danger. He said he did not like clearcutting. Among the other topics posed by the public were mobile business licences which would give business owners one licence to conduct business in more than one municipality; housing; transportation; expanding a web registry of homes where illicit drug operations have taken place; silencing cannons to scare birds from blueberry plantations; increasing the number of firefighters manning each shift in order to meet WorkSafe BC standards, and expanding cycling infrastructure. The three mayoral candidates, Jack Froese, Rick Green (VLN) and Mel Kositsky also attended. (See page 15 for more). Other candidates seeking one of the eight councillor seats were Tyler DeBoer (VLN), Bev Dornan, Steve Ferguson, Charlie Fox, Carey Poitras, Clive Rippingale, Michelle Sparrow, Dave Stark (VLN) and Glen Tomblin (VLN).

Alcohol is not believed to be a factor in the collision, but poor weather conditions and speed may have contributed, police said. Charges are expected, possibly against both drivers, RCMP said.

Six-pack rhetoric ‘groundless,’ says Fox Just how far did the negative atmosphere in Township politics influence voting patterns among the mayor and councillors? Hardly at all, says Councillor Charlie Fox, who commented that the negative rhetoric claims that certain members of council are part of the ‘six-pack’ that vote together, are unfounded. Township figures show that 71 per cent of the time council voted unanimously over the past three years. Unanimous votes occurred 647 times, and on 81 occasions, the vote was 8-1. Council voted 7-2 on 49 occasions, 6-3 on 36, 5-4 on nine occasions, 7-1 on 43 occasions and 6-2 on 25. “Council is democratically elected to do the business of the citizens of the Township of Langley (and) with that mandate and the fact that a new council is elected every
three years comes the knowledge that members of council will agree on many issues and disagree on others,” Fox said. “Listening to the public is always a big part of our mandate,” he said, adding that public input reaches every council member through e-mails, telephone calls, comments made on the street and at council meetings. “This input helps us form our opinions and ideas and shapes how we think we should proceed on an issue,” Fox said. “Further, we listen to each other and through debate and discussion, (and) each member of council may, and will, present their perspective on an issue.” When he unveiled his Vote Langley Now slate in July, Mayor Rick Green referred to the “Six Pack plus One” — incumbents Grant Ward, Charlie Fox, Bob Long, Steve

Ferguson, Bev Dornan and Jordan Bateman, with Kim Richter being the ‘plus one.’ “The truth is that at the end of the discussion, when the vote is called, 71 per cent of the time the vote is unanimous,” Fox said, adding that the figures show that 90 per cent of the time there was a clear majority vote. “It is clearly evident that the reality is there is no evidence of any allegiance agreement on this council,” he said, adding that the voting pattern “is very closely aligned with past voting patterns and this term has seen little or no change from historical reality.” Furthermore, Fox said that a review of council voting records shows that Green voted with the majority more often than he (Fox) did, and Councillors Kim Richter, Grant Ward and Steve Ferguson.
“Clearly it is evident that . . . the mayor is more agreeable and more often than not in agreement with the majority, in other words is ‘just part of the group,’” Fox said. Fox said one way of gauging who does the work on council is to look at the number of notices of motion. “These are motions that represent initiative and reflect a personal effort on the part of a council member to put forth an idea on to the agenda,” Fox said, adding that the initiative may be personal in nature, but most often stem from members of the public. Richter proposed 58 notices of motion, 10 of which were not supported. Fox had 28, Councillor Mel Kositsky 13, Ferguson 9, and Councillors Grant Ward, Bob Long and Green one apiece. Councillor Bev Dornan offered none in her first term on council.

Langley Township is my home and has been since the mid-70s when I returned to the West Coast from my first newspaper job in Medicine Hat following university. As a trained journalist I decided community news was the way for me and I settled in Langley to work for the local newspapers. I also settled in Langley to become involved in the horse industry and have been honored by the Horse Council of BC for promoting the equine industry through my horse columns and cable television shows called “Along for the Ride�. Langley is truly ‘the horse capital of BC.’ In 1993, after serving two terms on the board of the Langley Chamber of Commerce, I became interested in local government and ran for council. I have since won six straight elections and have been your councillor for 18 years.
“On Saturday, November 19th I ask for your support to become the next Mayor of Langley Township.� Leading a local government requires many skills - not the least is listening to a variety of opinions and bringing council and residents together to make collective and informed decisions. That is the way that municipal councils work best. They are not a “one man show� as we have witnessed during the past three years.
“Rick Green has broken the trust with council, staff and the community ... and it can never be repaired.� Good government requires co-operation and compromise in order to get things done. The community provides direction on priorities and the council as a whole decides how best to spend limited financial resources to build a healthy and safe community for residents of all ages. My leadership skills have been proven by being elected to serve on many boards, committees and task forces by my local government peers. I am well prepared to represent Langley Township with other orders of government. Langley Township has a bright future ahead and as your next Mayor I will lead a council that will focus on what is best for our comunity and restore TRUST in the Mayor’s office.
More 'non-truths'
Council 'misled' again
The Lidstone report revealed facts about Green’s mishandling of private information; but to date he has not apologized to those mentioned in the documents that he claims were stolen from his office. But there are other episodes that are suspicious according to two members of council. Clr. Ferguson says “the mayor was not truthful about the resignation of the mayor’s finance committee.� According to Ferguson, the
day before a scheduled meeting the mayor announced he had just received a letter of resignation from three members of the public that he had appointed to the committee. But Clr. Fox says a copy of the letter was left on the photocopier by the mayor’s office several days prior. “Why did Green not tell the truth? Perhaps he was embarrassed about the committee’s failure to cut the taxes and come up with the 0-0-0 he promised,� said Fox.
In the first year of the term, Langley Township Council agreed to bring in help to assist with setting goals and team building. “We tried to work with the new mayor,� said Clr. Mel Kositsky. “The intent was to engage a consultant/facilitator to help bring the Council together.� Council hired Gerald Berry the long-time CAO of Nanaimo, and Allison Habkirk, a former mayor of Central Saanich. They were instructed to: t 3FWJFX UIF EVUJFT BOE SFTQPOTJCJMJUJFT PG UIF NBZPS BOE DPVODJM BOE SFWJFX UIF DPNNVOJDBUJPO CFUXFFO UIF NBZPS UIF DPVODJM TUBČ BOE UIF QVCMJD JO B XPSLTIPQ In general terms, the scope of work of the consultants was to focus on providing services to the Township which would facilitate the building of a positive working relationship amongst the elected council members and between the council and the senior management team. But after interviewing Mayor Rick Green, the firm issued this statement in a January 2011 special report to council:
“Given the Mayor’s open rejection of the fundamental principles of shared and collective decision-making, it is our conclusion that holding a working session to address the issues at this stage in this council’s term is unlikely to produce a satisfactory outcome.� Council members were disturbed and concerned that the term could get worse instead of better. When
asked to comment on the consultant’s recommendations, Clr. Richter said she was surprised at the report’s blunt language. “It’s kind of refreshing, though, to hear a

consultant say, ‘Don’t waste your money,� she said. Other councilors had hoped that the term would have had a more positive start. Clr. Long said the workshop should have taken place as soon as the new council was elected. “I wished the Mayor had approached the term with more positive ideas, rather than just doing his own thing,� Long said. Things did get far worse when the Lidstone Report clearly showed that Green had broken the trust of Council in the mysterious letter scandal. Lidstone’s report concluded that Green misled several times, misrepresented the facts, and that his actions were dishonest.

View of democratic process 'distorted'
Veteran Township of Langley councillor and mayoral candidate Mel Kositsky is concerned about Rick Green’s view of democracy. “According to Green’s website, Green is convinced that he was ‘voted in’ last term to change the minds of the council. I disagree,� says Kositsky. Councillors are elected on their own merit - by every citizen who votes. How can Green justify such a concept?� Kositsky said. Green’s website boldly states “...I was elected on a promise of change ....but they (council) steadfastly refused to change� Frustrated with the council’s fierce independence, Green now
has a slate of running mates, seeking to control council. “It is impossible for a council to function for the benefit of the citizens, if the mayor has a distorted view of democracy,� says Kositsky.� We (council) tried to bring in professionals to explain how the democratic process can work, but Green refused to listen or to adopt a leadership style of collective decision making.� “He seems to believe that his way is the only way. That is why I’m running for mayor - to see respect for democracy returned to the council table, and to provide positive leadership to the council that the people elect,� says Kositsky.

Mayor refused to cut budget
Greenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2009 finance committee included two members of council and three members of the public chosen only by Green. Other councillors were not allowed to attend the finance meetings for reasons not yet explained by Green. The two appointed councillors, Ferguson and Richter objected to the closed meetings and Ferguson accused Green of arranging other secret meetings without them. But by the time the full budget meetings began, the committee could not produce a zero tax increase - instead they proposed to borrow from utilities and dip into reserves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council was quite concerned of the legality of using utility funds in such a manner,â&#x20AC;? said
Clr. Ward. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the plan was thrown out.â&#x20AC;? At the time of passing the budget, Green was asked by one council member if he would suggest cuts rather than vote against the budget as mayor. But Green refused to offer any suggestions. Green has voted against every budget in his term, but according
to Clr. Ferguson, he still likes to take credit for the popular projects in the Township. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fact is he voted against parks, artificial turf in Aldergrove, the LEC, Aldergrove core planning, expansion of police and fire services, water and sewer.â&#x20AC;? Green has voted against bringing business and growth to the community,â&#x20AC;? said Ferguson.

Meet your candidates for mayor Jack Froese
Times Reporter
Sitting in the gallery at a number of public council meetings this year, Langley Township mayoral candidate Jack Froese would have witnessed how meeting decorum disintegrated, both at the council table and in the gallery. What he saw helped fashion his sense of what must be done. “One thing I’ve been looking at is that local government is consensus building in nature, not adversarial,” he said. “The big difference is that in local government the duty of the mayor is to reflect and support the will of council,” Froese said, adding that that doesn’t mean sacrificing good discussion, voting on an issue and then moving on to the next. “What I’ve seen over the past few years is issues that are not laid to rest.” He would like to see more formality in the council chamber. Shouting and name calling can intimidate people to the point where they are afraid to address council, and he said that what is needed is a mayor in control. “As mayor, as the person chairing a meeting, you need to call for order and keep control, even if it means terminating the meeting,” he said.
Rick Green Times Repoter
Incumbent politicians are the most difficult to defeat, and so when newcomer Rick Green unseated the popular incumbent Kurt Alberts in 2008, it changed the face of politics in Langley. Things immediately turned ugly, and that’s when the gloves came off for the 2011 civic campaign. But Green is counting on his lengthy experience in the private sector to retain his seat. Green and a majority of councillors sometimes called the ‘six pack’ have frequently been at loggerheads and the lid blew off the cauldron when Green was investigated by the RCMP for violating privacy laws. The report on the probe landed in the lap of a special prosecutor, who ruled that there was no substantial likelihood of a conviction. That did not spell the end of Green’s troubles. In October, council voted to release the Lidstone Report which concluded that Green misled council over when and how his office was broken into, and who was responsible for delivering those documents anonymously to

his rural mailbox, and when he had actually been aware of their contents. He rejected calls for his resignation. Civility all but vanished from council chambers. Green said this of the past three years: “I decided to run for the mayor’s office after considerable dissatisfaction on my part and the part of my friends and residents in the Township. I have had considerable political experience in the past and I was looking forward to changing the direction the Township was going in, in community planning, taxation, spending, management and property portfolio. “I came into the job eager to fulfill the changes I had promised; I was very disappointed immediately after the election by one councillor who said it would be business as usual and there would be no change. I was equally disappointed that there have been considerable roadblocks on the part of council for that change.” He called the Nov. 19 vote “a watershed election and it’s going to be up to the voters in the Township to decide if they truly want change in our community.” The lack of civility has spilled over to the public gallery, with yelling and insults coming from the gal-
Rick Green lery, and speakers refusing to respect the five-minute limit on their presentations. Rudeness “is not rampant, and we should not impose rules against 98 per cent of the people because of the one or two per cent who abuse the process,” Green said. During his term, there have been several public hearings which generated controversy but, Green added, “it’s not for us to govern their (public’s) emotions because emotions are part of their presentations. It’s democracy.” On what he would do to keep property taxes at no more than two per cent, Green said that his platform,
and that of his Vote Langley Now team, is to have no increase for the next three years. This can be achieved through a committee of finance, a value for money performance audit, and a property endowment fund. “I have significant corporate experience operating a multi-million dollar company of my own, with three unions and a million dollar payroll, and I have been able to secure the knowledge from that corporate experience and three years of seeing how budgets have been generated at the municipal Township level,” Green said. “I am absolutely confident that this is achievable.” It does not require cutting services, only finding efficiencies in operations and capital projects, he added. As for the Township receiving more value for its TransLink funding, Green said that will take strong leadership at the authority’s Council of Mayors. That means a change to the current practice of the Mayors’ Council being asked to support a funding package of pre-determined service improvements which the mayors had no hand in preparing. “That is what we (the mayors) collectively want to change,” Green said.
Mel Kositsky Times Reporter
Mel Kositsky entered the 2011 race for mayor of Langley Township with nearly two decades of experience in municipal politics. First elected 18 years ago, he has won consecutive elections, honing his skills in municipal law and protocol as he was appointed to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and the Lower Mainland Municipal Association, now known as the lower Mainland Local Government Association. His association with FCM led him to travel to the Philippines, where his role was to show the city of San Fernando how it can improve the way it governs. In his role as councillor and Township representative, Kositsky has worked with a diverse groups of people, often bringing together people who have never spoken to each other, to come up with solutions to problems. “I have earned the respect of my colleagues and peers, and I have been consistently elected to represent them,” he said. “I know how to bring people together to focus on the issue at hand and come up with a possible solution, and move on.” Asked how, if he becomes the Township’s new mayor, he will restore civility to civil government, Kositsky said it comes down to “respect and trust for everyone,” Mel Kositsky even if there is disagreement among them. He noted that there are guidelines which, if followed, make for an effective council session. When they are not, decorum disintegrates. “What’s been happening is that we have been making news for all the wrong reasons,” Kositsky said. “I think I have the leadership skills to bring people back and I know how to run a meeting,” he added. Issues have emerged that have pitted residents against council over school issues, and they could be avoided if the Township and school district resume the regular meetings that used to occur between council and trustees. Staff from the Township and district do meet,“but you build relationships at the political level and that can be achieved by regular meetings between Township council and the board of eduction.” On keeping property taxes at or below two per cent during challenging economic times, Kositsky replied:“You can’t promise a specific figure.” Noting the current difficult world economic situation, Kositsky said that as mayor, he would call in financial experts and hold public meetings that would ultimately lead to a long-term financial and tax strategy. On the widespread view that Langley does not get value for the money it contributes to public transportation, Kositsky points out that Langley already benefits in many ways, and there are more services to come. TransLink funds Langley’s major roads, including 16 Avenue. Projects that will benefit Langley soon are the park and ride at 86 Avenue and 200 Street, the express bus from there to Lougheed SkyTrain station, and a bus service linking Langley and White Rock via Campbell Heights that will run every 30 minutes. “We are getting good value, and we have one of the best co-operative systems,” Kositsky said. When public outcry prompted TransLink to scotch plan for a parking tax and vehicle levy, it limited sources of funding for regional improvements, he pointed out.

elections signs can face penalties that will seriously hit their pocketbook or even result in jail time, warned Supt. Derek Cooke. “Defacing or pulling down campaign signs is a criminal offence,” Cooke said, adding that those who are caught will face a charge of mischief, which carries a fine of up to $5,000 or two years in prison. In recent weeks, a number of election signs have been knocked down or stolen, while others have been marred with graffiti or foul language. “It is a big problem during election season,” said Cooke. With only a few days left before the municipal election on Saturday, officials are asking the public to keep an eye out for those vandalizing election signs, and to report them to the Langley RCMP. Cooke noted that police are following up on tips from residents who have witnessed signs being vandalized and called in the suspects’ licence plate numbers. While it is illegal for people to pull down election signs, it is also illegal for candidates to keep them up past a certain date: All election signs must be removed by 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 23. Under Township bylaws, candidates who do not remove their signs on time, or who have put them where they are not supposed to be, can face a fine of up to $1,000 per day or up to two months in prison.

Firefighters endorse Kositsky Local firefighters have chosen the candidate they would like to see as Langley Township’s next mayor. Local 4550 of the International Association of Fire Fighters has endorsed Mel Kositsky for the top elected position. “I’m very pleased,” Kositsky said as he campaigned on Thursday afternoon. “I’ve supported public safety and my record is clear on that.” He added that he supports the Township’s business plan to have all fire halls staffed around the clock. Also endorsed by the IAFF local are incumbent councillors Bob Long, Steve Ferguson, Grant Ward, Charlie Fox and Kim Richter.
Incumbent councillor Bev Dornan did not make the cut. Local 4550 has also endorsed challengers Michelle Sparrow, Dan Sheel and Rebecca Darnell. Local 4550 president Andy Hewitson said that a committee of eight firefighters took into account the past performance and experience of the candidates. The final decision, made after an all-candidates meeting hosted at the Murrayville fire hall, came after several hours of deliberation and a review of the candidates’ questionnaire answers. “We don’t play partisan politics,” Hewitson said. “We look at people who had answers to public safety issues.”

LANGLEY’S MONTHLY YOUNG-AT-HEART SECTION — November 2011 —
“If You Want My Vote…”
tain’s G p Ca
ley al
The
Jim McGregor Voter turnout for municipal elections is historically the lowest out of all our elections. In the last municipal election in 2008, less than 30% of all eligible voters turned out to vote across the province. However, in that dismally low statistic the senior community was by far the highest group represented. Provincially, 75% of those 55 years and over came out to vote. Armed with this data, any serious candidate for office would do well to pay attention to the senior community. Projections are that the Lower Mainland’s over 65 population will more than double in the next 20 years and if the issues that are facing them now are ignored by our current councils, they will become major problems down the road. Barb Stack, the Director of Operations for the Langley Senior Recreation and Resource Centre, agrees. “The seniors know the issues, they ask questions about the candidates, they listen and they are very vocal.” The message to the candidates from Langley’s seniors is loud and clear. You have to listen to us. You have to understand what our concerns are. You have to act on our behalf at the council table or when you have the ear of the MLA or the MP. We want someone who will speak for us.

Just what are the local senior issues that our candidates should be addressing? Some of the topics that came to the forefront were transportation, accessibility, isolation, abuse, and having a voice. “Our seniors would benefit greatly from a municipal transportation network,” says Stack. “Currently, many elderly still live at home, in rural areas. The current Handi-Dart system is not in any way convenient. If they have to attend appointments or activities or even just for grocery shopping, the current system often requires lots of waiting time. Often, having to transfer buses is confusing and often leaves them alone in isolated areas.” “A municipal shuttle, provided with the senior in mind, would greatly enhance their quality of life. The current buses are bumpy and noisy and often, once they have used them, they find they are uncomfortable to travel in and hesitate to use them again. “We hear that transportation is a regional issue but we need an elected voice on our local councils that will speak out for the needs of the senior community and identify transit solutions.” “Currently, the Langley Senior Recreation and Resource Center receives an annual $40,000.00 grant from the City of Langley as well as a property tax exemption. Even though 45% of our users here are Township residents, we

Issues important to seniors and a Program Director for the Langley Senior Recreation and Resource Center says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to enlist and train more outreach workers to get out into the community and establish regular visitations to those who have chosen to age at home. Not all seniors can afford to move into one of our many fine congregate care facilities and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the daily access to nutritious meals, regular medical or physical checkups and they are falling through the cracks.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have volunteers who are willing to call on people or drive but they need the training to be able to recognize and address any serious issues and then know what steps to take, which of the many agencies should become involved and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that overnight. Provincial funding for this training is being cut every year. Just because the programs go away, doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean the problems do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For instance, we often encounter elder abuse, physical, psychological or financial and we need to have a response plan in place for that. Recent figures show that the Fraser Region leads all health regions with a 26% jump in investigations into alleged cases of abuse, neglect and self neglect.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The R.C.M.P. are usually sympa-
thetic to these complaints but they are difficult to prove and we need a local set of procedures. For instance, recently a grandson took his grandmotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s monthly funds and left her with nothing for the month. Who does she turn to? If we have trained people and a local response plan, we can act on her behalf. We can work with mental health or Fraser Health and intervene on behalf of those being abused. We need an advocate on our local councils to bring these issues forward.â&#x20AC;? Barb Stack also expressed her concerns about cuts to in home support. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We notice a need for more affordable housing. As our seniors age and can no longer stay on the farm or in the family home, they need alternative housing. The days of Grandparents moving in with family are slowly going by the wayside, it can be emotionally draining and expensive for the caregiver family. Some of these folks are living at the poverty level and as a community we have to address their needs.â&#x20AC;? Providing tax or income incentives for families to assist their parents or grandparents to age at home are also positive solutions. Candidates could promote re-zoning or tax breaks to allow seniors to stay at home or with families where they want to be. Again,
Caring for Seniors is Our Business Do you need help with personal care or daily living activities? Do you like your independence? Getting excellent nursing care in a home-like setting may be the right choice for you.

need to be addressed providing families with financial support, counselling services and advice would encourage families to take on the care giver role. “We see townhouse and condo developments flourishing in our community and new developments that attract young families and demand municipal services. We need a voice to say, ‘What about the needs of our seniors, where are their affordable housing projects going to be built?’ That is an issue that won’t go away.” So how does the senior community get these issues in front of the local councils? Janice responds.”We have a very active Youth Advisory Committee. They are appointed by council to focus on youth and meet the needs of Langley’s Youth. A Senior Advisory Committee to assist council to make decisions that best suit our growing senior population would be a great asset.” Perhaps it’s time for a candidate to step up and support the formation of a Senior Advisory Committee. Many organizations could provide excellent members to this body. The Seniors’ Action Table, the Meals on Wheels,
Foods and Friends folks are in very much in touch with the senior community and they could provide ideas, develop solutions and initiate dialogue during budget deliberations, providing a strong liaison between the senior community and local council. As one gentleman put it, “They built a two million pedestrian overpass in my neighbourhood for kids to get to school. Did anyone ask me what I would like to recommend they spend that money on to help me get around in my neighbourhood?” Funding and local government assistance could also be directed to establishing and directing a local Volunteer Bureau. This would provide a much needed opportunity to properly direct the many resources our community has to offer. Too many seniors often are heard. “I didn’t know that service was available to me.” Other concerns voiced were, ‘protect our parks and green spaces,’ increased police presence,’ ‘clear our streets and sidewalks when it snows,’ and do something about our terrible traffic. ‘

Carnival Violinist Calvin Dyck and the rest of the KPU Orchestra in Residence perform for Langley students next Friday.
KPU Orchestra presents Carnival of the Animals in a trio of concerts on Nov. 25 BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter
It’s going to be a bit of a zoo inside the Kwantlen Polytechnic auditorium on Nov. 25. That’s the day the Kwantlen Polytechnic Orchestra in Residence, joined by musicians from Langley Community Music School and the Western Conservatory of Music, will present Saint-Saëns Carnival of the Animals during a trio of performances. The piece is a musical survey of familiar zoo animals, said concert organizer and violinist Calvin Dyck, a Kwantlen music instructor. But for this series of performances, they’ll add a few local species — a moose, a loon and skunk and a lawyer — to the mix, by incorporating elements of Cam Wilson’s Canadian Carnival. “It’s really very entertaining, said Dyck of the show, conducted by his music department colleague Wayne Jeffrey, which will be performed twice by an 18-piece orchestra for local school chil-

Langley Community Music School welcomes the world-class Canadian chamber ensemble, the St. Lawrence String Quartet (SLSQ) to the Rose Gellert Hall on Nov. 19, at 7:30 p.m. The New York Times describes a recent concert as “brilliant… the performance showed not only virtuosity, intelligence and imagination but also extraordinary passion.” Call the box office for tickets at 604-534-2848. Tickets are $30 for adults, $25 for seniors, and $20 for students. The Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207 St.
BACK IN BLOOM
The Bloom Market returns to Fort Langley with its holiday market on Sunday, Nov. 20 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Fort Langley Community Hall, 9167 Glover Rd. This one day, indoor market will feature fine art, apparel, jewelry, paper goods, wool and leather accessories, housewares, baby
dren in the morning. They’ve managed to secure a set of moose antlers and a stuffed toy skunk which will both make an appearance at some point in the show. “I love this kind of stuff. I love to have fun with it,” said the musician who’s known for sporting a powdered wig while performing Mozart. While Carnival was written for two pianos, this performance will feature 10 student pianists from the three participating schools on two grand pianos. Coached by Kwantlen piano instructor Jane Hayes, they will each get the opportunity to pair up and play a couple of movements, Dyck explained. At the same time, local elementary students will help round out the show with their own artistic endeavours. Blacklock Fine Arts Elementary School students in Grades 4, 5 and 6 are participating in the concert by writing poetry to accompany the music, as well as creating works of art based on the subject matter and performing a dance during the shows. items, and more. There will be live music and demos, gift wrapping, children’s craft workshops, food, and prizes. Admission is $2.50 for adults, with partial proceeds towards SOS Children’s Village B.C. Wheelchair/ stroller accessible.
“Of course the students loved it, but the most effusive were the teachers. This is exactly the type of thing we like to have students involved with,” Dyck said. “I see it as an incredibly collaborative project.” The two morning concerts will be followed in the evening by a performance for the public. For that show the 45-minute Carnival will be fleshed out with the addition of a performance of Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, featuring Dyck as the violin soloist. He performed the piece with the Terrace Symphony Orchestra earlier this month and was scheduled to stage it with the Vancouver Island Symphony prior to the Langley concert. This is the first time the annual late autumn concert, which sold out in Surrey last year, will be performed in Langley. Tickets for the evening performance are $25 for adults, $22 for seniors and $12 for students. Call 604-559-3315. Kwantlen Polytechnic University is located at the corner of Glover Road and the Langley Bypass.

BOURNE TO SCULPT
TWU’s Concert Band and Orchestra will pay homage to Haydn later this month with a pair of concerts in Langley and Abbotsford. Pieces by Brahms, Shostakovich, Weber, and SaintSaëns round out the program. The orchestra will perform Haydn’s Symphony No. 101, “The Clock,” in its entirety, from the famous “tick-tock” slow movement to the swift, difficult finale, which clocks in at a mere four and a half minutes. “There’s more to “Papa” Haydn than first meets the ear,” notes Dr. Allan Thorpe, Director of Instrumental Activities for SAMC. “It’s been a privilege for our musicians to explore this symphony, which shows several sides to the composer—all in a single, masterful work.” The Concert Band portion will open with an arrangement of Haydn’s Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken, a joyful blending of the wellknown Austrian hymn and a brass fanfare. This hymn tune eventually became the German national anthem. Later in the evening is Fantasies on a Theme by Haydn, a work that takes a tune from the composer and fragments it into a marvellous kaleidoscope of sound. Norman Dello Joio’s varied piece is a treasure trove of other clever musical allusions as well, both classical and contemporary. “It’s an invigorating program which will highlight the many sections of our concert band and orchestra, while also featuring the organs of the churches in which we perform,” adds Thorpe. “Saint-Saëns’ organ symphony will give us the opportunity to showcase that instrument alongside our concert band.” For full concert information, visit www.twu. ca/samc.
CASTING CALL
The Langley Players are busy setting the stage for their next offering. Casting for their spring production of Timothy Findley’s The Stillborn Lover begins with auditions on Wednesday, Nov. 23, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 26, from noon to 3 p.m. in the Langley Playhouse at 4307 200 St. The play is set in the 1970s, when a Canadian diplomat is suddenly recalled to Ottawa.

Definitive research on the effectiveness of herbal remedies on disease is difficult to find. Sometimes it is easier to find studies that show what doesn’t work. For example it is well accepted now that fish oils and ginkgo do not have any benefit in treating or affecting the course of dementia and memory loss. A good natural way of avoiding constipation is to eat some dried fruit. Dried apricots is a good choice. They contain fibre and the sugar content in them doesn’t release in any large amount until the fruit reaches the large intestine where the sugars will draw water into that area. Be careful not to overdose, though.

It is the flu season and there are ways you can avoid it. One way, obviously, is to stay away from people who have the flu. Washing your hands regularly throughout the day also helps because those flu viruses can stay on door knobs and other people’s hands for quite a while. Get lots of rest, eat nutritionally, avoid excessive alcohol and get plenty of exercise. Oh yes, get your flu shot. Mozart’s death at 35 was a tragedy. How much more beautiful music we would enjoy had he lived longer. Doctors now think that lack of sunshine may have contributed to his illness and death. He was so focused on his music he didn’t get out in the open air much. We will never know for sure but it’s interesting. Vitamin D supplements are available to ensure you have enough of this important vitamin. Our pharmacists will be glad to advise you on the type and amount you should take. ADVERTORIAL
What the Dickens? The Farndale Christmas Carol at Trinity Western University puts a spin on a holiday classic from Nov. 22 to Dec. 3

artsandlife
What do you get when you combine three ghosts, ruthless rival actresses, snappy showtunes, a bearded lady, and a handful of tinsel? The Farndale Christmas Carol, playing Nov. 22 through Dec. 3. Trinity Western University’s SAMC Theatre serves up a holiday favourite that proves disastrously funny. “It’s a play within a play,” explains actress Margaret Thorpe, a Langley Secondary grad. “So you have the story everyone loves, but it’s told by the most accident-prone group of actresses you can imagine.” Thorpe plays an ailing actress who must perform roles like Bob Cratchit through a suffocating neck brace. The show must go on — and it does — bringing to life dozens of colourful characters as the ladies madly change costumes,sing, dance, and crash into furniture. Scrooge is in for the ride of her life. “This spoof version of Dickens’ classic has become a theatre favourite, gracing stages all over the world and leaving torrents of laughter in its wake,” says Lloyd Arnett, who also directed last season’s hit comedy The Foreigner. “For the Farndale actresses, chaos is an art form. Pretty much everything that could go wrong does,” Thorpe adds. “It’s been a treat discovering the humour in the story of Scrooge, and enjoying some holiday stress relief, but at the same time telling the story of these well-meaning women who aren’t afraid to embarrass themselves in the spirit of Christmas. “And if that’s not fun enough, we get to have a snowball fight onstage!”
Jef GIBBONS/submitted photo
TWU’s comical production of The Farndale Christmas Carol shows you Scrooge as you’ve never seen her before. Thorpe performs alongside Karyn Guenther, Daniele Neve, and Danielle Spampinato, with Benjamin Buckingham as the clumsy stage hand roped into playing nine different parts.

Lightning may be quick, but the Titans proved too powerful when it came to the Langley junior district volleyball championships. The Langley Fundamental Titans won both the junior boys’ and girls’ district titles on Thursday, winning in straight sets at the expense of the Langley Christian Lightning in both matches. The girls’ game was played at Brookswood Secondary while the boys squared off at Langley Fundamental. All four teams advance to the Fraser Valley championships, as did the Brookswood Bobcats junior girls. The Bobcats defeated Aldergrove 3-1 in the third-place game. “They just have so much heart,” said Titans coach Laura O’Reilly, whose girls’ team won its second straight district title.

Langley Christian and will look to build on last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fourth place showing at Fraser Valleys. The teams entered the playoffs ranked one-two in league standings, with Langley Fundamental at 8-0 and Langley Christian at 7-1. Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Reilly said the team is defined by its willingness to put in the work and its togetherness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are willing to sweat everyday,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And they love each other and work their butts off.â&#x20AC;? In the boys final, which was also on Thursday, the Titans won 3-0 (25-19,25-18,25-17). The Titans came second at districts last year, losing to Langley Christian in the final. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last year, we were the little team that could,â&#x20AC;? said coach Jan Ellison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we are the big team that can.â&#x20AC;? The Titans returned many of the players from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad, and after the experience they gained, they have turned in a dominant season so far. The victory in the district final improved Langley Fundamental to 24-0 overall on the season. Ellison said her team has shown great resiliency, pointing to an earlier match at a tournament against Langley Christian when they rallied back from a 16-3 deficit. Another characteristic of the squad is the fact they are a balanced bunch, with anyone capable of stepping up and leading the attack. Langley Fundamentalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Michael Hsu was named MVP while Steven Hsu and Carson Heppell were all-stars. Langley Christianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Braden Heppell was also an allstar.

Spartans’ Roxburgh tops among university coaches Graham Roxburgh was honoured as the top women’s university soccer coach in Canada. The head coach of the Trinity Western Spartans received the award on Wednesday night in Montreal, site of the 2011 Canadian Interuniversity Sport women’s soccer championships. Roxburgh guided the Spartans to a program-best 12-1-1 record. Coupled with the team’s two victories last week at the Canada West championships
and the Spartans have gone unbeaten in their past 14 games (13-0-1) and are ranked second in the country. The Spartans also had two players named CIS all-Canadians, another first for the program. Goalkeeper Kristen Funk and midfielder Melissa Mobilio both earned first-team honours. ••••• The Spartans women’s soccer team’s quest for a fourth national championship — and third in the
past four years — came to an end on the tournament’s first day. The Spartans, who were seeded second, lost 1-0 (4-1 in penalty kicks) to the host school, the McGill Martlets.
