Elizabeth MacPherson takes a moment to rehearse before stepping onto the Chief Sepass Theatre stage. MacPherson performed songs of Britain’s Vera Lynn as part of “Until Everyone Comes Home” a Second World War-era variety show held Saturday in Fort Langley. For more photos, go to langleytimes.com.
From torch songs to toe-tappers, Until Everyone Comes Home took a near-capacity crowd at Chief Sepass Theatre on a trip back in time Saturday afternoon, with a selection of music and comedy from the Second World War. The two-hour variety show, presented by the Langley Centennial Museum and Trinity Western University’s School of Arts, Media + Culture (SAMC), offered a tribute to the Canadian and American entertainers who provided troops all over the world with a bit of respite from the horrors of war. Peter Tulumello, cultural services manager with the Township of Langley, was pleased both with Satur-
day’s turnout of more than 240 people and the fact that organizers were able to treat the crowd to an excellent show. “We were quite thrilled,” he said of the community response. “And then our entertainers really delivered, and our timing seemed to be right on.” Several people suggested to Tulumello afterward that the show should become an annual event. That would be a bit of a tall order, he said, adding that organizers have found putting on a show every 18 months or so, has been a fairly manageable timeline. The museum previously mounted a Vaudeville show in February, 2013 to coincide with an exhibit. Continued Page 9
Optimism over new Langley high school MINISTRY WOULD GIVE WARM RECEPTION TO PLAN FOR WILLOUGHBY SCHOOL, SAYS MAYOR MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese is confident a high school will be built in Willoughby — sooner rather than later. His comment comes after Froese, along with school district superintendent Suzanne Hoffman and Board of Education vice-chair Rob McFarlane went to Victoria on Oct. 27 to meet with Minister of Education Peter Fassbender, his top staff and Langley MLA Mary Polak to talk about the urgent need for a high school on the slope.
Call us first!
Aldergrove-Fort Langley MLA Rich Coleman couldn’t make it. This meeting was “a long time coming,” said Froese. “It was important that all of us were there united in a common goal. The Township isn’t in charge of building schools but we take responsibility for neighbourhood plans,” he said. “Our role is to plan neighbourhoods that are livable and walkable.” What they heard from the ministry is they are very warm to the idea of Langley submitting a solid plan for the where, how

and what a high school would look like on the slope. And while the government paid for the last three schools to be built in Willoughby over the past five years, it dropped a bombshell this year, saying all school districts now had to come up with 50 per cent of the capital funding for any new school project. “Our sense is the ministry has softened to the whole idea around school districts having to supply 50 per cent of the capital funds to build schools. It is ‘up to’ 50 per cent,” said Froese.
Currently, Langley has $4 million it could contribute to a new high school, which is estimated to cost around $50 to $60 million. At the last board of education meeting, trustees unanimously approved a motion from McFarlane asking that staff identify school properties that could be sold to help pay for a new high school. A high school takes four years to build. But with developers buying up most of the land in Willoughby, is there 10 acres or more of land available for a high school? Continued Page 4

Noel Booth students send comfort to soldier’s son Hearing that a six year-old boy was left without a father after the shooting of Corporal Nathan Cirillo on October 21st at the National War Memorial, many students at Noel Booth Elementary were upset. It’s not always easy to know how to help in a situation such as this but the students wanted to reach out to Marcus Cirillo in a personal way. Mrs Carol Osborne, Principal at Noel Booth, purchased a copy of the book When a Dad
says “I Love You” by Douglas Wood to send to Marcus while students wrote cards and letters to include in the package. The package has been mailed to the Wentworth-Hamilton Catholic School Board to be forwarded to Marcus at an appropriate time. The students of Noel Booth hope that knowing there are young people on the other side of Canada who care about him will provide Marcus some comfort during this difficult time.

TWU law school recognition overturned B.C. LAWYERS VOTE 74 PER CENT TO RESCIND PREVIOUS LY GRAN TED ACC REDITATIO N J EF F N AGE L Bla ck Pre s s
B.C. lawyers have voted 74 per cent against recognizing Trinity Western University’s proposed law school for the Law Society of B.C.’s admissions program. The law school has been controversial because the Langley Christian university’s community covenant bans sex outside of traditional marriage between a man and a woman. Critics say that discriminates against gays and lesbians. The Law Society of B.C.’s board of governors voted 25-1 Friday with four abstentions to uphold the referendum outcome and rescind their previously granted accreditation of TWU’s law school. A total of 5,951 lawyers voted in favour of the declaration against the faith-based law school in the referendum, while 2,088 were against it. The mail-in ballot required a minimum one-third participation of the 13,530 practising, non-practising and retired law-

Last week, members of the Law Society of B.C. overturned their previous decision to recognize future graduates of the school, because of its restrictive covenant which prohibits sex outside of a traditional heterosexual marriage. yers who were eligible, and a twothirds majority to pass. The referendum was ordered after thousands of lawyers demanded the law profession’s regulatory body reconsider its earlier decision. “It is a proud day to be a lawyer,” said lesbian lawyer Barbara Findlay, who said the covenant
promising not to have sex outside heterosexual marriage discriminates not just against homosexual couples, but heterosexual common-law couples as well. “Respect for equality is a foundation principle of the rule of law and should be a foundation principle of the legal profession,” lawyer Michael Mulligan said.
The law school was approved by the provincial government in late 2013 but the law society controls who can practise as a lawyer in B.C. Asked if the province may now reverse its approval, Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk said he will give the law society’s decision “due consideration.”
Virk’s earlier approval followed the recommendation of the Degree Quality Assessment Board and the preliminary approval of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. The law school was to open in the fall of 2016. “The University is disappointed with this vote”, said TWU spokesperson Guy Saffold. “Trinity Western believes in diversity and the rights of all Canadians to their personal beliefs and values. A person’s ability to study and practise the law should not be restricted by their faith.” TWU’s law school is also being blocked by law societies in Ontario and Nova Scotia and the university has mounted court challenges that could end up before the Supreme Court of Canada. TWU previously won a Supreme Court of Canada victory in 2001 on grounds of religious freedom over its faith-based teacher training program, which the B.C. College of Teachers had refused to recognize.
Many Langley residents cynical about election: poll ONE IN THREE PEOPLE SURVEYED DON’T BELIEVE THEIR VO TE MAKES A DIF FER ENC E D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
A new poll shows roughly one in three Langley City and Township residents don’t believe their vote make a difference. The Insights West poll of Lower Mainland municipalities shows 28 per cent of people living in the Langleys moderately or strongly disagreed with the statement “my vote makes a difference in the way my municipality is run.” That was the second-most apathetic response in Metro Vancouver, second only to the North Shore, where 29 per cent felt voting was pointless. Most other Metro area municipalities were less cynical, with a regional average of 22 per cent, or roughly one in four saying their vote made no difference. The poll results, released on Oct. 23, were based on an online survey conducted from Sept. 24 to Oct. 5, 2014 with 2,138 respondents living in 19 municipalities. When residents were asked to rate their
25
municipal governments from 10 (excellent) to one (poor), the Langleys ranked near the bottom, with an average of 5.7, slightly better than Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows (5.5), but lower than Tri-Cities (6.8), Burnaby (6.8), Delta, New Westminster and White Rock (6.6) Abbotsford (6.6), Surrey (6.5), the North Shore (6.4), Richmond (6.3) and Vancouver (5.9). Three out of four Langley residents, 75 per cent, felt that developers and lobbyists have too much power over local affairs, the amount who strongly or moderately agreed with the statement “developers and lobbyists have too much influence in my municipality.” Roughly one in two people, 53 per cent of local respondents, said the Langleys were doing a bad or very bad job of managing development and growth, while 35 per cent said the governments were doing a good or very good job. The top Langley issue, according to the poll, was transportation, with 27 per cent
rating it most important. Roughly two out of every three Langley residents surveyed, 60 per cent, said the Langleys were doing a bad or very bad job of dealing with transportation. That is slightly worse than the Metro average of 50 per cent. Issue number two in the Langleys was crime, with 18 per cent or roughly one in five respondents flagging it as most important. The Langleys got a high rating for their handling of crime, with 60 per cent saying the Township and City were doing a good or very good job. Asked how the two municipal governments have been dealing with homelessness and poverty, 34 per cent said the Langleys were doing a good or very good job, 44 per cent said bad or very bad and 22 per cent were not sure. The Langleys were given the second-worst ranking among Metro Vancouver municipalities when residents were
asked to rate the municipal governments for “engaging with regular people like me.” One in two, 53 per cent, rated Langley City and Township as bad or very bad in that department. Only Richmond was worse, with a 55 per cent bad/very bad rating. Like most Metro residents, one in three or 31 per cent of the Langley residents surveyed said it was time for major changes at city hall. Another 32 per cent of the Langley respondents said it was time for a minor change. Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said the survey revealed “glaring differences” between municipalities on the issues. “Transportation is a key area of concern in 11 municipalities [including Langley], but not in Vancouver and Surrey, where housing and crime definitely dominate the agenda” Canseco said.

idea to create a liaison committee that would share information and collaboration on common issues, like building schools. Prior to that, communication between the Township and school board was “non-existent,” said Johnson. Now the strength of working together has helped bolster Langley’s case for a new high school, both Johnson and Froese said. In the meeting with the government, the ministry has also made
That is still very much the unknown. “We are actively working on securing a site for a high school but there is a lot of work to do. I think we are up for the challenge,” said Froese. It could involve a land swap with the Township, it could involve a current school site or green space site. After the last election, Froese and board chair Wendy Johnson came up with the

or over. But building schools larger is not a wise move, suggests Froese. “We should build schools according to the life cycle of a community. When you look at Willoughby, it is young families buying these homes. But as time goes on, their children get older, these families stay in their homes and the neighbourhood demographics change,” said Froese. “Then you end up with fewer students and a large, emptier school.” That’s why portables attached to each new school is a much better way of deciding the size of a school, he said. And the ministry has decided it doesn’t like Alberta’s modular school model, said Johnson. “They do serve the need because yes they can go up fast but they are meant to be mobile. “What they are seeing in Alberta is those modular schools stay put in that one spot,” Johnson said.

the rare move asking Langley School District to re-submit a capital plan, something no other district is being asked to do right now, Johnson pointed out. “Langley is one of the fastest growing areas in the province,” said Johnson. “In Willoughby, we have built three schools on time and under budget.

Citizens need to feel safe — Power GRAND OPENING! Saturday, Nov. 8 11am-6pm DELIVERY AFTER 6PM
MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r
Langley RCMP’s newest top cop thinks this region is in great shape, but firmly wants to make sure citizens feel safe walking down their own streets. “The detachment is in good shape. But I will adapt as I go because one or two serious crimes can change things quickly,” said Insp. Murray Power. “In our line of work, the situation is always fluid.” The officer in command position became available when Supt. Derek Cooke took a job working in Israel in an UN-sanctioned peace in policing position. In the interim, Power and Insp. Rob de Boersap shared leading the detachment. With 184 officers, 85 civilian staff, and numerous volunteer operations including the auxiliary constable program, the Langley detachment is a massive operation. In his new role as leader of the detachment, he wants to have more communication with the public. “Interaction with the community is the recipe for success going forward,” Power said. Catching the culprits involved in the hammer attack on the Good Samaritan on Oct. 18 is the detachment’s top priority right now. “The nature of that attack is so egregious, it’s very disturbing. We have the appropriate number of officers on that to bring it to a resolution.” Already, a number of good quality tips are being investigated. But he believes that type of serious crime is “an anomaly.” “Crime is a hot topic throughout the Lower Mainland and I definitely have the same concerns. A lot of the officers here live in Langley and share those concerns,” he said. “People

Insp. Murray Power has taken over as the officer in charge at the Langley RCMP detachment. should be able to feel safe walking down a street. We can never eradicate crime but we should be able to bring it to an acceptable level.” As to Langley City being overrun by criminals and homeless people, he isn’t sure it is as bad as it may seem. “But if there is a perception out there, that is great enough reason for concern,” said Power. He isn’t opposed to seeing more police walking the beat. “A visual presence is very significant but I have to balance being visible and making sure citizens are getting full value out of us,” Power said. Walking the beat takes time away from other crime fighting and away from paper work, he adds. “Policing has changed so much. Ten years ago it took one hour to write up a police report on a domestic violence call. Now it takes 1,000 hours to get a report ready for Crown. That’s not a bad thing, it’s just the new reality.” Policing is a lot more strategic
too, which helps with the city core issues. “Every city core has city core issues and Langley City isn’t immune. However, geography is on our side because it’s a small city core.” But he has a unique perspective on the homeless situation that he wants to share. “There is room there to step up our game as a community and show a level of compassion for these people instead of fear,” he said. “The homeless situation comes up all the time. People feel uncomfortable around them. It’s human nature. What I can tell you is we don’t have a raft of complaints of homeless committing serious crimes. They are committing nuisance crimes. “As a society we should be asking ourselves how did we get here and what is the way forward.” Homeless people loitering should not be an issue police have to deal with, he said.

An Oct. 17 press release issued by the BCSA said Fraser Valley FC had experienced “significant challenges in accessing field assignments� and had asked the BCSA board for help. Langley FC Soccer Club president Rob Jandric said the former all-girls club has grown to more than 1,300 — 360 boys and 664 girls plus about 300 players in Langley FC’s men’s and women’s programs. LUSA, in its written submission to council, said it has 2,300 registered youth players.

MARLENE GRINNEL, FORMER MAYOR, CITY OF LANGLEY
The fighting by Langley-area youth soccer leagues over access to playing fields drew some critical comments from Langley Township council, Monday, Oct. 27. Langley United Soccer Association (LUSA) technical director Mark Parker had come to council to argue for more playing time, taking several swipes at rival Langley FC (LFC) in the process. Parker told Township council it’s time the municipality took a “re-look� at the way it parcels out access to playing fields. A 33-page written brief filed with council by LUSA complains the current field allocation system allows teams with a majority of non-Langley players to claim turf time and permits teams to under-use sought-after artificial turf fields. Among other things, the brief complains that the smaller LFC will be entitled to claim more turf time because it has just added 173 players, as a result of the recent decision by the British Columbia Soccer Association (BCSA) to merge the Fraser Valley FC into LFC. “The majority of those players are not Langley residents,� Parker told council. The written brief also gives more details about the 16-week suspension of LUSA president Dave Kasper by the BCSA, saying eight weeks of the suspension was “for calling an Aldergrove

Four candidate meetings planned this week The Unelection Campaign is sponsoring an all-candidates meeting for Langley Township mayor and council candidates on Friday, Nov. 7. This will be an evening of questions and answers for all mayor and councillor candidates running in the 2014 Township of Langley municipal election. Peter Holt will serve as the moderator. He is an experienced Metro Vancouver moderator with extensive experience in organizing and managing the format of meetings such as this. In recent years, in addition to operating his own business, he completed a three-year contract as CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade and has been closely involved with Metro Vancouver’s public outreach programs. Since 2007, he has moderated over 60 of Metro Vancou-
ver’s sustainability dialogues, while continuing to provide management consulting services in his areas of expertise. Questions will focus on issues concerning residents of the Township, including the future development of the Brookswood and Fernridge communities. Questions from the audience will be taken. The event takes place at George Preston Recreation Centre, 20699 42 Ave., from 7 to 9 p.m. Former school trustee Sonya Paterson has organized an all-candidates meeting for the candidates for mayor in Langley Township. It will take place on Sunday, Nov. 9 at Murrayville Hall, from 2 to 4 p.m. Municipal election voter turnout rates are often approximately 20 per cent, so Pa-
terson says she felt the need to do something to get more Township residents engaged in the process. “This debate is the result,” Paterson said. Paterson said she has received calls in recent weeks to host a mayoral debate, similar to the one she hosted in 2011. “Many citizens feel they have not had enough opportunity to meet and personally question the Township mayoral candidates and so this is an effort to fill that need,” said Paterson. She emphasizes that this is a non-partisan effort and this event is not associated with any group or campaign. Candidates Rick Green and Serena Oh have said they will attend. Incumbent Jack Froese has another commitment, but Paterson sais she “hopes that Froese will find
the time to attend this critical event”. She is encouraging the public to express that they want him to participate. Langley City candidates will take part in a meeting at the Langley Seniors Centre on Wednesday, beginning at 1 p.m. They will give one-minute statements and then circulate to various tables, meeting those in attendance. The meeting is sponsored by Triple A Senior Housing. An all-candidates meeting for school trustee candidates is planned for Thursday. The Langley DPAC has a forum scheduled for the trustee candidates on Thursday, Nov. 6 from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Christian Life Assembly gymnasium, located at 21277 56 Avenue near the Langley Airport. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m.

More than 50 people braved the torrential downpour to hear what Langley trustee hopefuls had to say on topics of the Willoughby slope, resources for special needs, the sale of schools and how to pay for better education at an all-candidates meeting at the Langley Seniors Resource Centre on Thursday night. The meeting format was unique with two Langley teachers, Darren Storsley and Jonathan Dyck, moderating the forum put on by the Langley Teachers’ Association. They asked all 14 candidates who were present to leave the room and they were called back one by one, to answer what is the most pressing issue in education today and what have they done or going to do to help. Incumbent City trustee Candy Ashdown answered resources for students with special needs. “The amount of students with special needs has increased but we have less special education
assistants,” said Ashdown. City candidate Shelley Coburn said space in schools and school configuration is most pressing. Incumbent City trustee Rob McFarlane said he would keep focused on student achievement and school capacity. For the Township, 12 people are running for the five seats available at the board table. For Township trustee hopeful Lorraine Baldwin, it is “the chronic underfunding” of education that has led to the issues of not having enough schools to house students, lack of fulltime librarians and cuts everywhere. “We need to band together with other districts like Surrey and demand education be funded properly,” said Baldwin. Incumbent Township trustee Megan Dykeman said the problem is the transfer payments from the federal government to the provincial have been shrinking. “We need the province to demand more,” Dykeman said.

said Willoughby schools are near crisis with overcrowding, and that is the most pressing issue. Incumbent Rod Ross said Willoughby slope is near crisis but he has “challenged the board to think differently.” Over the summer Ross said he wrote a five-page document on the Willoughby facilities challenge titled “Is there another way?” If re-elected he said he would ask the board to look into corporate sponsorships to help with funding issues. Township candidate Pamela Rose-Combs said she wants to see no more surprises like Willoughby slope. “We were all taken by surprise by the slope. Let’s not let it happen again,” she said. Township hopeful Lisa Moore found out with her children with special needs that there is only one psychologist to serve Langley school district. “We had a three-year wait to see the district’s psychologist.

Labour consumes most new tax dollars cities collect UNION OF B.C. MUNICIPA LITE S PRE SIDE NT CAL LS CTF FINDINGS UNSURPRISING JEFF NAGEL Black Press
Rising property taxes charged by B.C. municipalities have mainly gone to cover higher labour costs, rather than expanding civic services, according to an analysis by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. It found B.C.’s 30 biggest cities brought in a combined $490 million more in 2013 than five years earlier through a combination of property tax rate hikes, higher assessments and growth, while they spent $345 million more on municipal salaries, wages and
benefits over the same period. That means 70 cents out of every new property tax dollar generated since 2009 was eaten up by labour costs, CTF B.C. director Jordan Bateman said. “It seems that most of this money is going to fund raises for existing executives, existing managers and labour contracts,” he said, although he conceded in some cases the higher labour costs have added additional employees to provide expanded services. “The Township of Langley, for example, is adding more

That subject was a natural fit for a theatrical presentation, he said. With this show, he said, it was important to demonstrate that the war years were not all doom and gloom. There were sacrifices being made at home, with rationing and women going to work in factories to keep materials flowing, both in North America and overseas, he said. “Entertainment was part of that, too. “This was an opportunity to show how we (Canada and Britain) would entertain troops. It was not all about the USO,” he said. “It’s a good way to interpret history.” Until Everyone Comes Home was emceed by musicologist Douglas Fraser, who offered insight into the time, and how the entertainment industry in both nations responded. The show blended humour and optimism with the profound sense of longing expressed in song, as soldiers continued to march off to war, leaving sweethearts and families behind. Tulumello offered special thanks to Allan Thorpe, chair of TWU’s music department and the show’s music director, talent scout Sandy Dunkley and SAMC chair Angela Konrad for helping to make the show a success.

firefighters,” he said. Rising labour costs actually exceeded the entire growth in property taxes in Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta, North Vancouver City and West Kelowna. “Every single new cent plus more went to paying for labour in those cities,” Bateman said. Bucking the trend was Langford, where municipal labour costs actually declined slightly since 2009. Bateman said that was due to the local council’s “pretty aggressive” contracting out of municipal ser-

competition and efficiency.” The CTF analysis excludes all contracted labour costs, including RCMP policing
services, although policing costs are included in cities with municipal forces. Union of B.C. Municipalities president Sav Dhaliwal, a Burnaby city councillor, dismissed the findings as unsurprising. “A great portion of our operating costs have always been salary and benefits of our employees,” Dhaliwal said. “The services we provide are labour intensive — road, public transit, protective services, clean drinking water — all these require people to deliver those services.”

Question langeytimes.com
Individuals and organizations who are setting up a series of all-candidates meeting in Langley are to be commended. They are trying their best to boost interest in the lacklustre municipal election campaign, and let people find out more about the candidates and the issues. Still, most people will not attend these meetings. The meetings take two to three hours, time they feel they can’t spare. The Times is working hard to provide additional information to those who can’t find the time to attend such meetings. On our website, there is a video of last Tuesday’s all-candidates meeting available to be viewed. This was for Langley Township candidates. The Times also plans to post video from a Board of Education candidates’ meeting on Thursday and is looking into how to get some video footage of Langley City candidates. On our website, www.langleytimes.com, there is a municipal election category on the home page. In that area, there is extensive candidate information and, as this week progresses, there will also be answers from candidates to four questions posed by The Times. Some answers have not yet been received, and the answers are loaded there as staff time is available. They will all be in place on the website by Friday, which is just over a week from election day. The videos, candidate announcements and questions and answers will give potential voters plenty of information. One factor that often keeps people from voting is the sheer number of candidates on the ballots for councillor and board of education trustee. One way to deal with this challenge is to select one or two candidates that you feel really represent your perspective, and simply vote for them. There is no need to vote for eight for Township council, six for City council or five for the Township seats on the Board of Education. It’s much easier to select a few candidates than a large number.

Do you plan to attend Remembrance Day services on Nov. 11?

Advance poll time they
Voters’ first opportunities to vote in this fall’s municipal races on the Saanich Peninsula are coming up soon. Advance polls are taking place Nov. 5, 12 and 13 in various communities. (In Langley Township, advance polling dates are Nov. 5 and 12, in Langley City Nov. 4, 5, 6 and 12). Normally, the advance polls are used by folks who wish to vote but will find themselves away from their community on general election day. But there’s nothing stopping anyone — even if they will be around home on Nov. 15 — from taking advantage of those early voting times. School trustee candidate Elsie McMurphy pointed this out as at least one argument against not voting this year. If people are worried about having the time to vote — or would just rather spend their Saturday with their families, for instance, they can try an advance poll on for size. So, if a lack of time or bad timing is someone’s excuse for not voting, there are a couple of alternatives to help wipe that away. Yet, there are always other excuses for not voting in this, or any other election. We’re not going to berate anyone for this (although we like the idea of mandatory voting, as in the Australian example) but we’d like to know why people don’t vote. The old excuse “there’s nothing to vote for” really doesn’t fly because as we’ve been saying for some time now, democracy is a participatory activity and finding something to vote for is up to each of us. So let us know — why are you not planning to vote on Nov. 15? If you’re willing to share your reasons with us, we will ask the candidates right before election day how they would respond and encourage you to change your mind. No sense in them preaching to the converted, right? With voter turnout rates being the way they are, it’s time the candidates spoke to those who would not bother to cast their ballot and work hard to give them a reason to do so. — Peninsula News Review

Second World War salute by museum, TWU well-done and moving PUT THIS SHOW ON THE ROAD Editor: On Saturday afternoon, I was privileged to watch a most wonderful Trinity Western University and Langley Centennial Museum salute to the Second World War era. “Outstanding” is the word I will use to describe it. Being an overseas veteran of that war, I admit to having tears welling up, as it reincarnated memories of pals and happenings long past. From the master of ceremonies, Douglas Fraser, to the accompanying TWU jazz quartet and masterful singers and come-
dians who produced a superb show, I wish to thank everyone connected with the production of “Until Everyone Comes Home.” This show should not be limited to the Langley area, but should be available to all Canadians who wish to look back at this era of our history. The standing ovation those who entertained us received at the conclusion of the show was well-deserved.
A tolerant place Editor: I was surprised to see that three-quarters of Law Society members who voted in a referendum were against allowing the privately-run Trinity Western University to open a law school. Having taken a couple of classes at TWU in the past, and having associated with students and faculty, I have found that the level of tolerance for people whose views and customs differ from theirs greatly exceeds what I experience on average in society at large. I have no doubt that the school would produce very good lawyers, as capable as any of practising objectively and without prejudice in today’s marketplace. The outcome of the Law Society’s vote strikes me as somewhat ironic, and as evidence that none of us, even as a members of a profession, is immune from reacting with intolerance towards those we don’t understand or agree with. KEN SUMMERS, LANGLEY
Check the records Editor: If you want to see the voting record and performance review of current Township councillors, they are recapped very nicely at www.unelectioncampaign. ca. I want my representatives to realize that they are there to represent us, to listen and respect us, and spend our money wisely. This website shows how well each of the Township councillors has done over the past three years. It’s very enlightening. FRED MCNEILL, LANGLEY

Candidate scrutiny very important WE WILL LIVE WITH RESULTS FOR FOUR YEARS Editor: Your insightful column (The Times, Oct. 28) regarding the upcoming election has struck a chord with many of your readers. Your referring to the unfolding event as an “unusual election” seems, to the many, to be an understatement of significance. The lack of all-candidates meetings is boldly standing out for all to see. The question to be pondered and then asked is — why? Two special interest groups, the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce and the Langley Township firefighters’ union, have hosted three events. On Oct. 14, the chamber held a mayoralty debate at the Langley Golf Centre. The venue itself was relatively small and the number of tickets, at $50 each for non-chamber members, was limited. On Oct. 17, the firefighter’s union held an all-candidates meeting at the Willoughby Hall. The pre-prepared questions for the candidates were predominantly “specific position” questions of interest to the firefighters (who were, at that point, in the midst of contract negotiations with the Township) and did not necessarily address any concerns of the residents in attendance. On Oct. 28, the chamber hosted an all-candidates evening at the Langley Events Centre. Given the contentious issues in Willoughby and in Walnut Grove, the large turnout was to be anticipated and was clearly indicative of the public interest in all of the candidates running in this election. Now, stop here and consider that the only two all-can-
didates events accessible to the general public have been held in the northwest portion of Langley Township. There are many communities within the boundaries of our municipality and most of these communities have issues and concerns specific to their areas. Aldergrove (and their pool issue) comes immediately to mind. Where and when will there be an all-candidates meeting in Aldergrove? The people of Langley need the opportunity to see the range of candidates with their own eyes, to listen to them with their own ears and to ask their own questions of the candidates before them. The people of Langley should not be denied this opportunity. An uninformed citizen will do one of the two things: vote for a recognized name or not vote at all. This favours the incumbents, of course, but it is a marked disservice to the new candidates who have put their names forward in this election. With the new four-year terms for the soon-to-be mayor and council, it is time for each of us of voting age to sit up, pay attention, become informed, become involved and we need to get out and vote. The results of the 2014 election we will have to live with, and four years can be a very long time. As you said in your final sentence, “some scrutiny before election day is very useful.” I.

You & The Law
PRESENTS You Must Try To Be Financially Self-Sufficient After Divorce
Anne and Steve (names changed) were married for 34 years before separating. He was the main family bread-winner. She had worked in a bank for 20 years during the marriage. But she’d been out of the workforce during the last 12 years of their marriage, and going back to work at the bank wasn’t an option.
Anne was now 58. She didn’t have a high school diploma, but she’d looked after children before she got married, and after her bank job ended, she again had run a child care in the house for some time, which she enjoyed. Steve hadn’t been very supportive of this though, and she stopped caring for children around the time they split. After their marriage ended, she didn’t try to get outside work, since she’d only qualify for minimum wage-type work that she wouldn’t like. Steve was at one time making $125,000 a year. But his income had recently dropped to $90,000, and his job was now less secure too. What were Steve’s post-divorce obligations for supporting Anne financially? And was Anne responsible for trying to earn some of her own money? The B.C. Court of Appeal considered this case recently. It highlighted that one important objective of our divorce laws is to encourage each former spouse to become economically self-sufficient after their marriage breaks up, to the extent possible. You have to take reasonable steps to contribute to your own financial support. Becoming fully financially self-sufficient may not always be possible due to age, health, limited education or other reasons. But the court emphasized you have to make an effort – it’s not fair to put the whole financial burden for your future financial
support on your ex (and this wouldn’t promote the law’s important goal of striving for self-sufficiency after a marriage ends). The court went on to say that, yes, in our free society, you can choose not to take a job which you wouldn’t like and feel doesn’t pay enough (like minimum wage). But even if your earning ability may not be great, if you don’t try to contribute to your own selfsufficiency, you have to bear the financial consequences of your own personal choice. The court observed here that Anne received the family home when the marital property was divided up, in part because she said she wanted to run a daycare in it. But she hadn’t started on that. In these circumstances, the appeal court said that the spousal support Steve had to pay, based on his income and the guidelines commonly applied, should be adjusted downward. The court made an assessment of what Anne could be expected to earn, either as a parttime employee earning minimum wage or by running a daycare. These earnings were estimated at $1,000 per month ($12,000 per year). The spousal support order was therefore adjusted to arrive at a new, lower amount of spousal support he had to pay her under the guidelines. The court also said that either Anne or Steve could apply for a review of the court’s decision in six months’ time, based on relevant factors. If you and your spouse are separating, consult your lawyer. Written by Janice Mucalov with contribution by Milne Selkirk.

All but one of the 15 candidates for Langley Board of Education in Langley Township and Langley City attended an all-candidates forum on Thursday, sponsored by Langley Teachers Association.
Corporate sponsorship raised
From Page 8
“That is one area where we could hire a psychologist and get children help in a timely way,” said Moore. Township candidate David Tod has been in education for 30 years and said a student given a behavioural designation doesn’t designate that student any SEA time. He is tired of hearing there is no money for education. “Do we want a watered-down Dogwood?” Tod asked. Township candidate Suzanne Perrault said she would like to see a thorough assessment done of each schools’ needs and then collaborate with school partners and foundations to see where funds could help. Current Langley City councilllor Rosemary Wallace is running for a trustee position in the Township. When asked how could the education be improved without new funding, she suggested empty schools could be looked at to be sold off. “There are schools in Brookswood and Murrayville that have sat empty for a long time,” said Wallace. Trudy Handel, candidate in the Township, said selling off
those properties could come back to bite the district in 20 years. “We could have the same problem in Willoughby but in reverse in those areas,” said Handel. “We need to look into big corporate sponsorship.” For some candidates, it isn’t a matter of funds, it’s a matter of the province’s priorities. Township candidate Kristine Ketter said the province is “so quick to tell the districts to manage their funds creatively. They are the ones who should manage their funds creatively.” In response Coburn said, “The money is there. It’s what they value that is the problem.” Corporate sponsorship to help fund education brought mixed emotions for the candidates. “Corporate sponsors have helped make the hot meal program that feeds hungry students,” said Wallace. McVeigh agreed that corporate sponsors can really make a difference. “Through the Langley School Foundation, we have many corporate sponsors give money with no strings attached, and they don’t ask for advertising. But it always has to be on a case by case basis,” said McVeigh.

Ketter said any sponsorship would “have to be scrutinized.” Baldwin would be “very wary.” “I work for a multi-national corporation. They rarely do something for nothing,” Baldwin said. “The bigger issue is we shouldn’t be forced into commercializing education,” said Tod. “Coke may be out, but now they just sell high-priced water.” Ross pointed out that the board of education already has a policy on how to handle corporate sponsorship. Coburn warns that sponsorship also can lead to an unequal playing field for schools, depending on the strength of the PAC. “A vocal and active PAC would get the funding and smaller, weaker ones would be left behind,” said Coburn. McFarlane doesn’t think all corporations are evil. “A local body shop donated significant money to pay for school playgrounds and how many people can name that body shop?” McFarlane asked. Lawrence Chen, a Surrey resident running for one of the Township seats, was not in attendance.

Mercedes-Benz Langley: the Fraser Valley’s new home of luxury
T
ake a trip through Langley and it will quickly become apparent that the luxury car market is thriving in Langley and no where is this more evident than at the corner of Glover Road and the Langley Bypass, at the new Mercedes-Benz Langley, the 5 star emblem shines as a beacon of luxury at the new state-of-the-art dealership.

Vehicles built specifically for the Canadian market
Bob Groeneveld,
N O V E M B E R
The Canadian market is different. Some vehicle types and engines such as the B-Class, C 350 4MATIC, E 300 4MATIC and S 550 4MATIC short wheel-base are unique to the Canadian market. When establishing equipment levels for the Canadian market, Mercedes-Benz Canada chooses standard features and equipment that are best suited to meet the challenge of Canada’s wide-ranging environmental and driving conditions in addition to the needs of Canadian customers. If you are comparing vehicles from other markets, like the United States, please bear in mind this critical component as in many cases, equipped-for-Canada cars are higher equipped than those in the U.S.A. Therefore, a simple Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP)* comparison is inaccurate at best and
only represents part of the entire picture. There are also market specific equipment differences. Depending on the model, Canadian and U.S. vehicles can differ considerably in terms of specifications. Unlike U.S. vehicles, equipped-for-Canada vehicles may include any of the following features in terms of specification or standard equipment: • Heated windshield washer system • All-season tires • Headlamp washers • Bi-xenon headlamps • Heated exterior mirrors • Factory/VPC applied undercoating for corrosion protection • Other equipment and/or modifications specific to colder climates. Whether new or pre-owned, buying an equipped-forCanada vehicle comes with added benefits.
Committed to the Community The Dilawri Group of Companies is not only a leader in the automotive industry, the company is also a leader in the communities it serves, having established the Dilawri Foundation in 2002. The Dilawri Foundation has contributed millions of dollars throughout Canada supporting a variety of charitable causes. The team at Mercedes-Benz Langley is proud to be actively engaged within the community, supporting many non-profit organizations and participating in events like the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation’s Denim and Diamonds Gala, the Fraser Valley Wine Tasting Festival, the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce Open Late for Business, and the Fort Langley May Day parade.

uring the past month the Chamber Board and Staff have been very busy with Small Business Month Activities, the annual Celebration of Excellence and our forums to introduce the candidates in the 2014 Municipal Elections. In partnership with Industry Canada and others, we were very pleased to host the first Small Biz Expo in Langley. This Expo showcased many government agencies, groups and organizations who provide funding, resources and programs to help businesses grow and prosper. This was the first time the event was held outside of Metro Vancouver and it was very successful. We are happy to advise that this event will be scheduled again next year. The Celebration of Excellence was a wonderful evening that provided an opportunity for us to recognize 45 outstanding businesses and business people in our community. This is one of our premier events that is made possible through the contribution of our corporate sponsors and we thank them once again. I would also like to recognize the contributions of the many individuals who put the time and effort into submitting the nominations. I would also like to extend our Thank You to GM Dean Rideout and the team at Mercedes-Benz Langley for hosting the October Open Late for Business. Their contribution to the Langley business
community and creation of the ‘gateway’ entrance to the City are very much appreciated. Turning our attention to the 2014 Municipal Elections, we hosted public forums for the candidates for Mayor and Councillor in both the City and the Township, and our October Dinner Meeting featured all six Mayoral candidates. All three events were very successful and resulted in very good dialogue with the candidates. Now I appeal to our members and the business community to assist us in our efforts to increase voter turnout at the polls. Businesses do not have the right to vote in the municipal election process even though they make significant investments in the community and pay a significant portion of the tax burden. Municipal government actions through policy, regulation and taxes make a direct impact on business success and advancement. It is very important that those elected to Council make the local economy and business development a priority in their governance. Our business owners make a significant impact on the local economy through their employees. We have the ability to engage those employees on the importance of the election, educating them on the impacts to business, which in turn secures their employment and future growth opportunities. I urge you all to consider these facts, become familiar with the candidates, share your findings with your employees, and most importantly that you encourage them to exercise their right to vote. Kristine Simpson President

HD Stafford Good Citizen of the Year Honouring the one who contributes the most towards bringing together education, business and citizens to make a difference in the community. Since 1980, the Chamber of Commerce has offered the HD Stafford Good Citizen of the Year Award to a deserving resident of the Langley area to thank them and recognize their outstanding contribution to the community. This award honours the memory of the late Harold Stafford who epitomized what a good citizen should be. Mr. Stafford
dedicated an enormous amount of time and effort, and worked relentlessly on new initiatives to make Langley a better place to live and conduct business. Whatever project or cause Harold Stafford became involved in he attacked it with admirable tenacity and would not let it go until he had seen the project through to a successful and meaningful completion. The Good Citizen of the Year Award will be presented at the Chamber’s December Dinner Meeting on Tuesday, December 9, 2014.
Nominations close Friday, November 21, 2014. Nomination forms are available by contacting the Chamber office at 604-530-6656 hamber h b com or d download l d or info@langleychamber.com, a copy from langleychamber.com.

Reclaim your free time Halloween is over and already the ads are reminding us that Christmas is a mere two months away. Time is flying and before you know it the holiday season will be upon us. Before that, there will be parties to plan, greeting cards to mail, and gifts to buy and wrap. This means there will be hardly any time left to clean the house. So this year, before mailing a single card, why not treat yourself to a stress free holiday season and call MOLLY MAID? MOLLY MAID was founded in Canada in 1979 and is one of the world's largest professional home cleaning services and it has grown to be an international franchise. In Langley, it is also a family business. In September 2012 owner operator Shauna Browne purchased it from her mother Catherine Deacon who owned the business for 26 years. "MOLLY MAID has been a part of my life since I was a teenager," said Shauna.
This local company employs 16 staff members and has seven teams. They will come to your home with all the equipment and supplies needed to clean your castle from top to bottom. Shauna's staff pay great attention to detail and are very well trained. When hired, everyone goes through a thorough training period with lots of follow up and each employee is fully bonded and insured. The cleaning staff arrive in uniform and drive an identified car. You can be sure that your house is in good hands whether you are home or not. Shauna loves the fact that with her company's help you will have more time to spend with loved ones or pursue a hobby. After working all day wouldn't it be wonderful to come home to a sparkling clean house? Rather than doing house-

Tea is an outpouring of love ANNUAL T HANK YOU FOR CARING CHRISTMAS TEA HAP PENS ON SU NDAY, NO V. 23 B REN D A AND E R SO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
If you’d like to make the holiday season a little bit brighter for local families who struggle financially, and help to put smiles on children’s faces come Christmas morning, here’s an event that might be just your cup of tea. On Sunday, Nov. 23, the wives of Langley’s two mayors will once again host the annual Thank You for Caring — A Christmas Tea Fundraiser. The afternoon, which mixes high tea and high fashion, is held each November to support the efforts of the Langley Christmas Bureau. Last year, the bureau served more than 800 families, including 1,650 children, by providing them with gifts and Christmas food hampers — all of it made possible by a generous community. Although the first Thank You for Caring Christmas tea presented by the mayors’ wives, happened in 2012, the fundraiser was actually inspired by a gathering of about 30 people held at Debbie Froese’ home a year earlier, as her husband, Jack, was running for the office of mayor in the Township. “It was a meet and greet, but I did it as a British tea,” said Froese. “The next year I thought, I can’t hold more than 30 people in my house, so I told Jack that I wanted to do it for charity.” The Langley Christmas Bureau was the obvious choice, she said, because it’s a cause that is very close to her heart. Joined by Charlene Fassbender, wife of then-Langley City mayor, Peter Fassbender, Froese hosted the first Christmas tea at the Fort Langley Golf Course. It sold out quickly and organizers realized they

The following year, they moved it to the ballroom at the Coast Hotel, which can hold 500 people. Froese’s goal this year is to fill it to capacity with guests — all of whom are encouraged to dress up, perhaps even going so far as to don their fanciest hat or fascinator and maybe an elegant pair of gloves. In addition to tea, coffee and sandwiches, a selection of sweet treats will be provided by Frosting Cup-
cakery. Jim McGregor, who along with Christmas tea committee member, Leigh Castron, co-ordinates the Langley Christmas Bureau, will emcee the event. Entertainment will be provided by Langley country music duo and sister act, Robyn and Ryleigh, along with musicians from the Langley Community Music School, who will perform as guests arrive and provide background music during the tea. Last year, Jean Schaffer
whose husband, Ted, now serves as acting mayor of the City, joined Marilyn Morgan — the Froeses’ daughter — to organize the tea, along with a committee of helpers. Debbie was ill and needed to take time away from community activities. Although it is mostly women who attend the annual tea, men are of course welcome, too, Schaffer said. And, she added, it’s an event that is fun and appropriate for children and adults alike.
“It’s nice to see a lot of young girls, between seven and nine, in fascinators and dresses,” she said. “Girls that age are quite interested and it’s nice to see.” By developing an interest in events like this early in life, it’s possible they will want to become volunteers themselves once they’re older, she said. For her part, Schaffer has volunteered with the Christmas Bureau for the past six years. “I think it’s important to
help families in need at Christmastime,” she said. “It’s fun and very heartwarming. As well as being an important cause, the Christmas tea a great excuse to dress up, said Morgan, adding many of her girlfriends decked themselves out in beads and gloves for last year’s party. Although the event well surpassed its goal of raising $20,000 last year, Morgan has set her sights even higher. “I’d like to make it an even $25,000 this year,” she said. In addition to bidding on dozens of silent auction items, guests will be invited to purchase one of 500 “raffle” Christmas crackers for $10. Whoever holds the winning cracker will receive a three-piece set of silver jewelry — including an open heart necklace, lantern crystal quartz bracelet and rainbow moonstar earrings — created and donated by artist Susan Rind. A limited number of fascinators will be available for purchase at the event Doors will open on Sunday, Nov. 23 at noon. Seating begins at 12:30 p.m. with tea served from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Cascades Casino and Hotel is located at 20393 Fraser Hwy. Tickets are $25 each, available at Frosting Cupcakery, 20411 Fraser Hwy.; JD Farms, 24726 52 Ave.; Langley Christmas Bureau, #307-20300 Fraser Hwy. and Birthplace of BC Gallery, 9054 Glover Rd.

MVP King strikes for winner TWU, UFV BOTH ADVANCE TO CIS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS IN QUEBEC CITY GARY AH U J A Ti m e s Spo r ts
Once again, Jessica King came through in the clutch. The Trinity Western Spartans women’s soccer team has won a dozen games — regular season and playoffs combined — this season, and eight times King has delivered the winning strike. King took a pass up from the middle from Alessandra Oliverio and carried the ball between a pair of Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades defenders to the top of the penalty area. From there, King unleashed a perfectly-placed ball over goaltender Kayla Kim and into the top left corner of the net. The goal in the 61st minute gave the Spartans a 2-0 advantage — Jennifer Castillo had opened the scoring in the 24th minute — and proved to be huge as the Cascades Shelby Beck got one back in the 72nd minute. But in the end, it was the Spartans winning 2-1 on Saturday night at TWU’s Rogers Field for the program’s sixth Canada West championship. Both TWU and UFV had already qualified for this week’s CIS national championships in Quebec City with semifinal victories the night before. King, who was named Canada West most valuable player and a first team all-star at the awards banquet on Thursday night (see side story), said all that was going through her mind on the breakaway was finishing her chance. “Just put the ball in the back of the net, that’s it,” she said. King thought she had a second goal, in the 81st minute, but it was called off to an offside call.

The Trinity Western Spartans celebrate after Jennifer Castillo opened the scoring in the 24th minute of the Canada West women’s soccer gold medal game at TWU’s Rogers Field on Saturday night. The Spartans beat the UFV Cascades 2-1. Both teams are in Quebec City this week for the CIS national championships, which run Nov. 6 to 9 at Laval University. The fifth-year senior said the team is just happy to be heading back to the national championships. The Spartans are the twotime defending CIS champions. “This (qualifying for nationals) is what we wanted to do and know we can focus on Quebec,” King said. The Spartans had lost the Canada West gold-medal game in 2013. “Last year, (that loss) gave us a little bit of fire, but it is always nice to win,” she said. Spartans coach Graham Roxburgh thought his team should have had the game put away earlier. “I am disappointed we gave away that goal, because that made
A pair of Walnut Grove Secondary alum teamed up to send the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades through to the CIS women’s soccer national championships. Playing in the Canada West Final Four championships on Friday night at TWU’s Rogers Field, Carley Radomski sent a slick through ball which found
it tense,” he said. “(But) credit to my girls, we kept our heads in the end and we handled the last few minutes.” Goalkeeper Christina Oliverio made three saves for the Spartans. Kim finished with nine saves, including three or four spectacular stops. Winning the Canada West banner is always a nice feat, but the national championship is always the end goal. “To win Canada West is awesome, but obviously we have bigger things in mind,” Roxburgh said. The coach said they had question marks at the start of the season, but early on, it was evident,
Shelby Beck in full stride. Beck chipped the ball past Alberta keeper Kelti Biggs and into the bottom corner of the net in the 71st minute for the only goal in a 1-0 Cascades victory. “Honestly, it was relief – I just wanted to cry with excitement,” Beck said, reflecting on her emotions after the final whistle sounded.
the talent was there. “We had some question marks (at the start of the season). Any time you add some rookies … you just never quite know how everyone is going to gel and fit together,” he said. “But we probably felt it early on that we were starting to come together and had the potential to be very good.” ••• The Spartans play their quarter-final match on Thursday against the University of Ontario Institute of Technology Ridgebacks. Game time is 10:30 a.m. PST. The Ridgbebacks are the Ontario University Association bronze medallists.
“It was so cool just to know that we worked so hard this year and we get to go to nationals. It’s a really cool feeling.” “I couldn’t have done it without Dom (Radomski) and Monika (Levarsky),” Beck said. “Our whole team played amazing. It was a perfect through ball, and all I had to
do was put it in the corner.” The Cascades lost to the Trinity Western Spartans 2-1 in the Canada West gold medal game on Saturday night. Beck had the lone UFV goal in the loss. The top two Canada West teams qualified for the CIS national championships, (Nov. 6 to 9)π at Laval University in Quebec City.
Spartans earn three awards, seven all-stars The Trinity Western Spartans women’s soccer program took home three of the five major awards at the Canada West awards banquet. Jessica King was named league MVP, Seina Kashima won the rookie of the year award and Graham Roxburgh was named coach of the year. The banquet was held Oct. 30 at Trinity Western University. Along with the trophies, the Spartans — who were a Canada West-best 10-1-1 during the season — placed six players on the conference’s first all-star team and one on the second team. King, a fifth-year midfield/striker from England, led the Spartans with a dozen goals and was tops in the country with seven game-winning goals. Kashima, a rookie out of Burnaby, started 10 of the 11 games she played and her playmaking ability was on full display throughout the season as she was tied for second in the conference with six assists. She also scored four goals, which was third on the team. She previously played with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC program. And Roxburgh picked up the coach of the year award for the third time at the helm of the Spartans. King and Kashima were both named first team all-stars and they were joined on that list by Krista Gommeringer (offence) while Jennifer Castillo and Vanessa Kovacs were all-stars for the defence. Also among the defenders, Kristen Santema was named a second team all-star for TWU. ••• Brayden Gant was named a second team all-star as Canada West handed out the awards and all-stars for men’s soccer. The awards reception was hosted by the Saskatchewan Huskies in Saskatoon on Oct. 30. The fourth-year midfielder started all 11 games he played. He has been an all-star all four seasons.

Health Matters
Do you want the good news first, or the bad news? The good news is that diabetic complications are down. A lower percentage of people with diabetes are developing kidney disease, having strokes/heart attacks or experiencing amputations. This is probably due to better care, treatments and drugs… BUT! The bad news is that the rate of diabetes itself is up – way up! More than three times what it was 20 years ago. Sobering. The US FDA is conducting a review of diabetes medications and has stumbled upon a possibly increased risk of heart failure with use of the drug saxagliptin (Onglyza). The medication may not be causing heart failure, but, rather, not doing a sufficiently good job of preventing it. It is not associated with other cardiovascular risks, such as heart attack. There is no recommendation to discontinue its use; just be aware. Given that diabetes is a condition intimately associated with diet, it may not be a big leap to think that disorders such as binge eating or bulimia nervosa could put one at twice the risk of developing diabetes.
Express roll past Rivermen
However, a recent study is showing that these eating disorders and many other mood disorders, such as depression, are inter-related and also associated with BOB SANGHA increased diabetes risk. Food Pharmacist, BSc for thought? Why all the concern about diabetes? Prolonged high blood sugar levels are associated with many serious complications such as blindness, kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, painful peripheral neuropathy and amputations. Often by the time the signs of these conditions are apparent, the damage is already done and the best that can be hoped for is limiting the progression of the symptoms. Best to prevent diabetes – or, at least, catch it and manage it early! November is Diabetes Month. Recently, “PreDiabetes” has been identified in an effort to catch and treat people destined to develop full-fledged diabetes. Talk to your physician about your risk – a get ahead of the curve!

Four Principles for Surviving Market Volatility The Ànancial markets have recently experienced higher volatility amid worries surrounding ISIS, Ebola and a perceived slowdown in the world economy. While it is not as severe as 2008-2009 it is still unsettling. With that in mind here are some guiding principles that can help you minimize the impact of the current volatility and stay focused on your long-term goals.
Have a Plan for Volatility
Stay Disciplined
Volatility is a normal part of investing and is, in fact, always present to some degree. However, it’s usually during periods of heightened volatility (when markets decline 10% or more) that investors really take notice. These market declines are difÀcult to predict but we know they are inevitable. So it is important to have a plan to deal with it in advance. A plan that minimizes the impact of volatility and guides you through periods of higher volatility.
Once you have established your investment plan, it is important to stick with it, especially during periods of market volatility when it can be most difÀcult to do so. Remember your plan should be designed with volatility in mind-before it happens. That said, there is a natural tendency for investors to want to move to safer investments during market downturns, hoping to avoid further losses. A better approach is to stay disciplined, maintain the appropriate level of diversiÀcation, and only make changes after careful assessment.
Remember the golden rule of investing DiversiÀcation remains the best way you can reduce investment risk. As you may know, diversiÀcation in simple terms involves investing in a number of different investments-across different asset classes, industries, geographic areas, investment styles, etc. This way you can minimize the impact of poor performance, both from a single investment and groups of investments with similar characteristics.
Turn volatility into opportunity While some investors view a market downturn as a “selling opportunity”, others see it as a “buying opportunity.” Market downturns are usually broad, taking down both the good and the bad. As a result, it can be an opportunity to add high-quality investments, those most likely to recover strongest, to your portfolio.

A celebration of life will be held Saturday, Nov. 8, 2014 at Langley Grove Estates, 3665 244 Street, Langley, from 1pm-4pm.
It is with profound sadness that the family of Ralph Tedesco announces his passing, at the age of 90. Ralph was born in Fife B.C. on Aug. 5, 1924 and left this earth on Oct. 23, 2014 to reunite with his parents, Eugene and Helen and brother and sisters. Ralph will be forever remembered by his wife of 66 years, Paulette (Peggy). Ralph’s passing has left an immeasurable hole in the hearts of the family and friends he left behind. He will be forever missed by his daughter Sharon, granddaughter Michelle (Dustin), grandson Michael and adoring great grandchildren, London and Cruz. Ralph and Peggy’s work ethic made it possible for them to have many successful ventures in the hotel business. They started with the Leland hotel in Nakusp, followed by the Skeena in Terrace before finally settling in Langley with the ownership of the Langley hotel. Ralph was a consummate professional whose passion for business and gentle nature made him a likeable and very well respected employer. Ralph was a car enthusiast and aviation buff. He owned many immpeccably kept Cadillacs over the years and logged many miles in his Cessna from the Langley airport. Above all else, Ralph loved his family. To honor his life and in lieu of flowers, please donate to the Salvation Army in Grand Forks… without them Ralph and his brother and sisters would not have survived. “They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it. Death cannot kill what never dies.” William Penn
John G. Hancock Gloria’s beloved husband of fifty years, Diana’s and Alex’s dear dad, Jen’s father-in-law, Belle’s and Sophie’s grandpa, and Richard’s & Rosemary’s older brother, passed out of his body aged 81, at Langley Memorial Hospital on Monday, October 20th, 2014, shortly before family, including his brother Richard who’d come over specially from Australia and had seen him the day before, could rush to his bedside that morning. We arrived too late but stayed to reach out to him with our good thoughts. After being educated at Wesley College, Melbourne, John had worked on relatives’ ranches in the West Australia outback maintaining artesian wells and horseback-riding rounding up livestock. A lifelong fisherman, in his twenties he became keenly interested in water sports such as speed-boat racing, and joined a yacht-club in Perth, W.A., owning a "Flying Dutchman" sailboat. Becoming a seismic driller in the Australian oil industry, he traveled to Iran on a foreign contract. In later years after he and Gloria moved to Canada via the Philippines (a five-month contract working for Esso), besides Canadian work he had foreign contracts in East Africa, Pakistan and the Caribbean as a waterwell driller-supervisor. A dual citizen of Australia and Canada, John was also a millwright-welder-fabricator in the Canadian Arctic, Alberta, Manitoba and around BC. John connected easily with the basic goodness in all people of whatever race, creed or colour - an adventurous life lived with kindness, fun and humour. We love you John, wish you the “ideal scene” and look forward to meeting you again up the line!
PLOWE, Althea M. (nee Mufford) Aug. 16, 1919 - Oct. 26, 2014 On Sunday, October 26th we said good bye to our beloved Mother, Gramma and Nana Althea Millicent Plowe. Althea was a wonderful woman, she was kind and giving, she loved to sing and play the piano, and to whistle. Everyone who knew her loved her dearly she truly was a special person. Predeceased by her parents Harry & Nellie Mufford and her sister Myrtle of Milner, BC. She is survived by her two children, daughter Irene Hart of Vernon, BC (Brian and Ashlynn, Darryl and Christina, Diana, Erin and Cassidy) and son Dal and Alice Plowe of Salmon Arm, BC (Denise and Brian, Angelle, and Nicole along with many grandchildren and great grandchildren). Althea is also, survived by her sisters Stella Long of Victoria, and Freda Lynch of Langley, BC and her special niece Dianne McMorran of Lavington, BC as well as several nieces and nephews. Althea was born in New Westminster, BC on August 16, 1919 she lived the first 70 years of her life on the family farm in Milner, BC, then spent several years in Langley City after the farm sold she then moved to Grindrod, BC to be closer to her family in 1990. She worked for 20 years at the Langley 5 to a $1.00 store, this is where she learned the art of gift wrapping, she always gave the best wrapped gifts ever. Althea was always an active member in the United Church and was a life time member of the UCW and was an active member of the Native Daughters, Fort Langley Branch. She also played piano/organ for services and many weddings. Thank you to the caring staff at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm, BC for caring for her and being so kind to our family. Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, November 8th @ 2:00 pm at the St. Andrews United Church in Enderby, BC. There will also be a Memorial Tea in her honor in the Milner Chapel in the spring of 2015. Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm, BC. (250)833-1129.

We do all the work, so you can just go home. Stewart Henderson, Managing Broker of Macdonald Realty Ltd. Welcomes
Running Twice as Fast We live in a fast-moving world and, as the The Red Queen said in Through the Looking Glass: “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!” Our business changes constantly and quickly and it becomes critically important that we keep up to those changes in our chosen profession. To accomplish this in 2014 we have been actively trying to add more quality Realtors® to our existing staff of highly qualified Realtors. I am very proud and excited to introduce you to the Realtors shown below who have joined our team of existing quality Realtors whose photos we always publish around the border of this page. At the same time we have looked at how we can run twice as fast as we can to constantly improve our performance. Macdonald Realty has hired an internationally known Real Estate Trainer, Dwayne Groome, to add value to our Realtors®, through a training course he has developed and taught to over 2000 students to date entitled “ the 8 Week Productivity Challenge”. This program will be available to all our Realtors, and especially our new Real-
Dwayne Groome Sales Manager/Trainer
tors to enable them to work better and more professionally on our clients behalf. This is not a one day seminar or a three day lecture; it’s a 2 month, hands-on, from the ground up program of constantly improving our abilities to work on our clients behalf in the real estate market place. In addition, we have contracted with the Real Estate Negotiation Institute to train our Realtors® in professional real estate negotiations through their Certified Negotiation Expert Training course. We hope to send all of our Realtors® through this course in 2015 and dramatically improve the level of successful negotiations in our industry. There are many more changes in process, all designed to improve our Realtors® ability to provide top quality service to our clients. As Alice said to the Red Queen: “Well in our country, you’d generally get to somewhere else – If you run very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.” To which the Red Queen replied… Stewart Henderson, Managing Broker Macdonald Realty Ltd ( Langley) Reach me at: stewarthenderson@macrealty.com
Dwayne Groome, not only was a top producer with another large brokerage, consistently doing 40-50 deals a year prior to joining us but also, for the past 8 years, was a management consultant for a number of brokerages to help grow their business. He holds a national training directorship position, and as the founder of his own highly successful 8 weeks seminar program, has taught over 2000 students to date.
Marina & Daniel Williams Marina comes to us from our Surrey office where she has spent several successful years in the residential sales market helping clients buy and sell their homes. Over those years she has developed a wealth of knowledge of the Fraser Valley real estate market and a well-earned reputation for caring for her clients. After spending many years in the new construction and renovating business Daniel decided to join Marina and, together, as The Williams Team, they have decided to use all their skills and knowledge to provide the best service to their clients. Having raised a large family themselves, they understand the needs of a family searching for a place to call home as well as the needs of a young person searching for their first home.
Irena Put After working for eight years as a Realtor® with Park Georgia Realty Irena and her family decided to relocate into Langley and Irena stayed at home to look after their children. As the children settled in and matured, Irena decided to relicense and return to the real estate industry. In addition to her fine record in the sale and purchase of residential homes, Irena also specializes in the purchase and sale of multi-family rental buildings.
Katu Sola Katu was born and raised on Vancouver Island where she graduated from Malaspina University College. She then moved to Vancouver where she studied Project Management at BCIT. After 5 years spent as a project manager and Interior designer in the residential construction industry, Katu decided to become a full-time real estate representative. After completing her real estate education at the Sauder School of Business at UBC she wrote and passed her real estate licensing exam and then went on to complete the BC Real Estate Association’s Residential Trading Services Applied Practice Course and has joined us with a practice specialty area of residential home sales in the Langley & Aldergrove area. The purchase and sale of a home always carries with it a number of problems that routinely pop-up and Katu describes herself as a problem solver. Her experience as a project manager and an interior designer along with her real estate training and education makes Katu well-positioned to look after all of your family’s real estate needs.
