Water supply project under scrutiny A long overdue water line has been hit with another delay.

Chad German has been living with pipeline construction on his property for a year and a half.

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

More than a year behind schedule already, more delays are now plaguing the East Langley Water Supply project.

Last week, sub-contractors were digging up sections of the pipe along 52nd Avenue near 238th and 240th Streets.

There is debris – sand and gravel – in the pipeline, and flushing the system with water wasn’t clearing it out, said Ramin Seifi, general manager of engineering for the Township.

It will take six to eight weeks for the new subcontractor to about six weeks, possibly three open up the pipes and clean months. But work kept getting them. Seifi said the expected delayed, and the crews were completion date for the work is taking up much of German’s now early January. five-acre rural property.

amounts that have been spent in recent years in Langley Township, particularly for the mayoral race.

The limit is based on local population. In Langley Township, with a population of 104,000 in the 2011 census, mayoral candidates would have spending limits capped at about $64,000.

Mayor Jack Froese spent well above that, at more than $140,000 according to his final campaign disclosure documents.

Unsuccessful candidate Rick Green spent $44,000 in the last election.

New spending limits proposed for municipal candidates could cut down the amount spent on Langley Township elections.

The new legislation was introduced to the legislature in Victoria Thursday by Community minister Peter Fassbender, himself a former mayor of Langley City.

The expense limits would drastically cut down the

dates could have to rein in their spending.

Mayor Ted Schaffer spent $27,000 on his last campaign. But given current population numbers of just over 25,000 people, the future spending limits would be about $20,500.

The new expense limits would also reduce the amount candidates for school board and council could spend to even lower levels than mayoral candidates.

The formula for mayoral candidates: • $1 per capita for the first 15,000 population • $0.55 per capita for the next 15,000 to 150,000 population

• $0.60 per capita for the next 150,000 to 250,000 • $0.15 per capita thereafter.

For all other local offices: • $0.50 per capita for the first 15,000 population • $0.28 per capita for the next 15,000 to 150,000 population • $0.30 per capita for the next 150,000 to 250,000 population • $0.08 per capita thereafter.

The expense limits will be adjusted up for inflation.

As well, they will be slightly higher during the next election, especially in the Township, as the population is growing rapidly.

Close to 300 people took part in the Township’s public engagement open houses last week, or less than one per cent of residents.

Interactive drop-in events were held Oct. 20, 22 and 24 at various locations to give residents a chance to express their views on Township policies, planning and procedures.

“When it comes to managing growth and planning our neighbourhoods, people have many different viewpoints, all of which are valuable, and we want to ensure everyone has a chance to be heard,” said Mayor Jack Froese.

Input from the open houses and feedback received by the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement will help shape Township polices and procedures.

Zoo ownership changes hands New zoo owner opts for anonymity when sale announced.

HEATHER COLPITTS hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Greater Vancouver Zoo has a new owner, an entrepreneur who started out teaching English.

The zoo made the announcement late Monday, noting that the news has been making its way through the grapevine.

“We are extremely pleased to announce that we have a new owner, and he is very keen to execute some big changes that we have all wanted and needed for many years,” said manager Jody Henderson.

b i R e rim

The new owner is originally from China but has lived in Vancouver for a decade.

Henderson said he prefers to remain anonymous.

“Many years ago he began his career as an English teacher but for several years now, he has been a successful entrepreneur with a passion for creating interesting and exciting places for people to have fun,” she said.

The first task was hiring an expert in zoos and animals.

The firm Bernard Harrison & Friends was on site last summer and will return as the consulting company develops a 20-year master plan for the whole facility. Henderson said there’s no specific timeline for that consulting work.

The sale closed in September

and no financial details were released. The previous owner, Duk-Wan Park, is in his 80s.

The zoo also announced recent animal births, including three squirrel monkeys and two maras (a burrowing, harelike animal native to South America).

The zoo started as the Vancouver Game Farm in 1970. The name was changed to the Greater Vancouver Zoological Centre and in 1999 was renamed the Greater Vancouver Zoo. The zoo has about 45 off-season staff and about 55 during the busier summer season to care for more than 500 animals. About 225,000 people visit each year. Henderson said the zoo will continue its conservation and education work.

Treating kids becomes a party trick

L

ike the zombies and vampires that will proliferate as the darkness descends on Saturday, Halloween is hardly recognizable against what it was when the earth was young and I had to wear a fake beard so my neighbours could pretend they didn’t recognize me when I went trick-or-treating.

We used to gear up for Halloween by rummaging through the closet for Dad’s and Mom’s oldest clothes. The rattier the better, of course. Favourite personas were tramps or dishevelled businessmen, trollops or old washerwomen.

You could get cheap make-up sticks for death-darkened eyes, and the old standby was throwing a sheet over your head and cutting out a couple of eyeholes – and that had better be a really old sheet! Pretty close to half of all the kids trick-or-treating were ghosts.

Everyone talked a lot about the “ghosts and goblins” spooking the neighbourhoods at Halloween, but I don’t recall actually ever seeing a goblin. I figure goblin costumes were too much trouble for any Mom with a house full of brats running her ragged and a sewing machine already loaded up with pants and shirts that needed mending.

Didn’t matter what we wore, anyway.

The neighbours always recognized us – even the ones who pretended to be frightened by our creepy appearance.

Odd Thoughts

he provincial Liberals have had trouble with their backroom staff before, but their latest scandal should trouble everyone in the province.

B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham’s report of last week discovered a culture of concealment in several government offices.

The most troubling issues were related to Highway 16 in northern B.C., a.k.a. the Highway of Tears.

Requests for information on the highway, where a significant number of women have been killed or vanished in recent years, were met with mass email deletions or deliberately narrow interpretations of Freedom of Information requests – interpretations designed to exclude any information of value.

The problems have reached into the office of Premier Christy Clark, and the Ministries of Transportation and of Advanced Education.

Even Transportation Minister Todd Stone admitted that he triple-deletes some of his emails but pooh-poohed Denham’s “interpretation” of the law.

Here’s a tip: Never trust anyone who’s first instinct when confronted with scandal is to suggest that it all comes down to “interpretation.”

Notably, Denham found that the major problem email-deleters were political staffers, party hacks rather than actual civil servants.

The Liberals have been in power in B.C. for 15 years now. They have improbably survived the complete implosion in popularity of former premier Gordon Campbell, leadership changes, controversial referendums and a major recession.

Unfortunately, their long tenure seems to have convinced many of the party hacks within the Liberal machine that they are not beholden to anyone. Not the press or the public, certainly.

When a government decides to control and conceal information for political purposes, they have given up the right to govern. Clark needs to clean house, or step down.

Everyone has a reason to give

Canadians deliver democracy Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the more than 230,000 Canadians who contributed to the successful delivery of the 42nd general election.

Once again, Canadians were willing to take time from their busy lives, making personal and professional sacrifices to work long hours to ensure their fellow citizens could exercise their democratic right to vote and receive the election results without delay following the close of the polls. I am overwhelmed by the exceptional professionalism and dedication our election workers have demonstrated in serving Canadian electors, often

in very challenging circumstances.

Some three million more Canadians voted at this federal general election than at the 2011 election, resulting in the highest voter turnout in more than 20 years. There was a remarkable level of voter activity throughout the election, which in some instances resulted in wait times at both the advance polls and on election day.

Our election workers provided the best service possible to their friends and neighbours in communities across our great land – for that is the true strength of our electoral process: Canadians working hard to make it possible

for their fellow Canadians to choose the elected officials who will represent them in the House of Commons.

There will be time in the coming weeks and months to review our electoral procedures and consider ways they could be modernized for future elections.

For now, our dedicated election workers should take great pride in their accomplishments and important contributions to our society.

I know that all Canadians join me in thanking them for their excellent work in the service of democracy.

Marc Mayrand, Chief Electoral Officer of Canada

Cities need to license bike riders

Dear Editor, I see the new bike lanes have been put on 197th Avenue between Willowbrook Drive and 64th Avenue. Very nice.

I see homeless dressed all in dark clothing with shopping carts, dollies, wagons transporting who-knows-what using

the bike lanes. I don’t see bike riders using the new lanes.

They are still using the sidewalks, riding right by the new white pictures of a bike on the street showing the “bike lane”.

They have no helmets, no safety vest, and dark clothing.

When are the cities going to

license bike riders, so when an accident does happen through careless use of the bike lane, motorists have some rights also?

Also how do shopping carts rate as motorized vehicles and get to use the street as their own private roads? Just wondering.

Gwen Deresh, via email

It’s up to each of us Our local hospital needs us and we need it.

There is a long list of urgently-needed equipment at Langley Memorial Hospital. Will you support our drive to raise $50,000 this Fall to help give our doctors and nurses the tools they need to care for our growing community?

Please make a healthy donation.

Air cadets appreciate public support

Dear Editor, On behalf of the 746 Lightning Hawk Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the community.

We recently held our biannual fundraising Tag Day activity.

Langley and Cloverdale businesses and citizens were very supportive and generous toward our cadets.

The squadron currently has

more than 150 cadets in the program between the ages of 12 and 18.

Activities in which our cadets participate include community service, assisting the Legion with their poppy sales, Remembrance Day services, physical fitness, drill training, field training survival exercises, flight programs, and music, to name a few.

Fundraising offsets the costs of

the cadet program not covered by the Department of National Defence.

We are very proud of the leadership and citizenship of our air cadets and we thank the community for helping our cadets to achieve their goals.

Bruce Foster, Chair, 746 RCACS Lightning Hawk Sponsor Committee, Langley

REMEMBRANCE

Poppy fundraising campaign starts this Friday Circumstances may impact funds raised this year.

RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com

Between the two local legions – the one in Langley and the one in Aldergrove – nearly $140,000 was raised last year for local veterans through the poppy campaign.

Organizers of this year’s campaign hope for another positive run of raising funds for those who have served Canada, but one, Shirley Blair, the president

of the Langley Legion #21, is concerned recent changes may impact the branch’s ability to raise funds.

“We’ve just moved right in the middle of this [poppy campaign],” Blair said.

The branch recently closed the lounge on 56th Avenue and moved a block east to an office and meeting space.

“If we’d stayed at the other [site] during poppy season, we’d have had a lot more volunteers,” Blair added.

There are 100 time slots to be filled for selling poppies each day for the 12-day campaign in the Langley branch’s region.

Funds support veterans in the

local area.

“This is the way we get money to give to our community, our veterans, the transition house, services dogs, and training programs,” noted Blair.

Getting things ready is a lot of work, done by volunteers like Barb Prystupa.

“That’s what we do,” Prystupa said. “We bag poppies and we campaign with poppies.”

Poppies are available by donation, pins are $3, and bracelets are $2. Last year the Langley branch raised $106,000 in the poppy campaign.

Secretary manager of the Aldergrove branch #265, Madeline Roach noted that loca-

tion’s campaign raised just over $30,000 last year.

“It’s for veterans assistance,” she said. “It’s for dealing with veterans here and also we make donations to local facilities... for the veterans they have in care there.”

Members interested in helping with the poppies in Langley can contact the poppy chair office at 604-534-3619. In Aldergrove volunteers call Roach at 604856-5473. Roach said the poppy campaign is the Legion’s one national campaign.

“It helps us with the continuing on of the Remembrance throughout the country,” she added.

Cities assess homeless court ruling Courts say homeless have right to camp on public land.

KELLY SINOSKI Special to the Langley Advance

Metro Vancouver municipalities will find it harder to dismantle camps or run the homeless out of town after a B.C. court ruling supported the right of homeless campers in Abbotsford to create tent cities on public land.

The move puts pressure on all cities across Metro Vancouver to find other ways to deal with the growing homeless population, which totalled 2,777 in last year’s homeless count.

“The chief justice was very clear, people need a consistent place to be,” said D.J. Larkin of Pivot Legal Society. “Municipalities all over this country need to take a good long look at their bylaws because they are not constitutional.”

Past attempts by cities to handle the homeless problem have varied widely, from bylaw officers shunting people from one spot to another to Abbotsford using chicken manure and pepper spray to break up tent cities.

In his ruling, Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson ruled Abbotsford’s policies violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, calling the use of chicken manure “disgraceful.”

While he noted there is a legitimate need for people to have shelter and rest during the day, he stopped short of ordering Abbotsford to designate land for a permanent encampment, suggesting it should be left up to municipalities.

Instead, he suggested following a Court of Appeal decision in Victoria to allow the city’s homeless to set up shelters in public spaces between 7 p.m. and 9 a.m. Margot Young, a professor with the Allard School of Law at the University of B.C., said the ruling is a duplication of a case in Victoria, which has created problems for homeless people there, who take down tents every morning or face police raids.

This will make it easier for the homeless population to set up a tent in a park when it rains or snows or is cold outside, she said. “But it’s a victory on very narrow terms,” she added.

Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin argues the solution to the homelessness problem requires more than just shelters or housing, but should tie in social services. The City had 92 homeless people at last year’s count, and Martin said the recent judgment is concerning.

“Even if you find them housing,” she said, “my take on this is finding them a place to stay, putting them in there and shutting the door is not going to work. The provincial government in my opinion has to step up more.”

CHARITY

Wine and food tasting profits kids Langley Central Rotary Club hosts the 26th annual wine festival.

ROXANNE HOOPER rhooper@langleyadvance.com

All day long, the team at The Keg Langley is “giving ’er.” They’re prepping mass quantities of prime rib, buns, and all the fixings for 500 or more people.

But there’s no grumbling about the extra workload.

In fact, far from, said general manager George Missel.

He and the team are thrilled they get to play such a huge role in helping their community by helping the Langley Central Rotary host the “insanely popular” Fraser Valley Wine Festival.

Again this year, The Keg

is one of the food vendors at the charity event.

They will be serving up the signature prime rib on a bun, and also giving away bottles of Keg spice to the first 250 people who visit the table.

In its 26th year, the wine and food tasting event is the premier fundraiser for the local service club.

This year, money from the wine festival is earmarked to create a customized sensory room for autistic kids at Options Community Services Langley office, as well as provide seed money for a program called Starfish, which helps feed needy children in town on weekends.

“The Keg has always been a big player in Langley, insistent on giving back to the community where we live and play,” Missel said.

“And I think this is really a wonderful event these guys host. I’m really proud

– we’re really proud – to be part of it. There’s a lot of hard work that goes into making this magic happen from all of the members of the Rotary Club. It’s such a great group and such a great cause.

Thanks for including us,” he said, shocked to realize he’s been at every event for the past 14 years that he’s been managing the local Keg. Once again, this year’s wine festival will be held at Willowbrook Shopping Centre. After the mall closes down at 6 p.m., an hour is spent transforming the space. And at 7 p.m., the guests are invited in sample more than 200 wines from around the world, as well as hot and cold hors d’oeuvres and samplings from Langley restaurants.

Committee member John Morgan remembers the first event in 1989, where they had fewer than 50 people and raised about $900.

But even back then, he said, it was a great way to bring people together and to make some money for the community.

“It’s still a lot of work, but it’s also a lot of fun,” he said.

Paul Coltura has only been on the committee for seven years, but he and his company BDO believe so strongly in the good work done by Rotary that they’ve contributed more than $100,000 in sponsorship to the event through the year, knowing that every cent goes to charity.

Dorothy McKim, the club president, was excited

to help decide where the money will be donated, and described the projects as worthy causes for kids in this community.

She’s always been impressed by this fundraiser, calling it a “signature event for the community” that Rotarians, sponsors, and participants should be proud to be part of.

“This being the 26th year, our big push is to make it $1 million that we’ve given back to the community, and I believe we can achieve that,” McKim said.

Approaching their traditional sell-out status, the Fraser Valley Wine Festival is set for Saturday, Nov. 7, from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at Willowbrook.

Tickets are available through Langley Central Rotary members or online at fvwf.ca. They’re also available at the customer services counter at Willowbrook.

MUSIC AWARDS

Smith cleans up, again

Dining in dark sheds light

Langley artists recognition in the country music world.

Langley Pos-Abilities raises awareness of disabilities.

ROXANNE HOOPER

rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Again, a Langley quartet of artists has scooped up much of the hardware at B.C.’s country music awards night this past weekend.

As home-base to the BC Country Music Association and home to many of the province’s shining stars in the country music industry, it shouldn’t be a surprise to learn that so many of the industry accolades came home to roost in Langley after the awards event at the Hard Rock Casino in Coquitlam on Sunday night, said association vice-president and former Langley resident Linda Corscadden – who just so happened to be crowned country music person of the year.

Langley’s 37-year-old Dallas Smith stole the show, again.

He garnered the most bling including awards for the album, entertainer, fan choice, male vocalist, single, and website of the year awards.

He was joined in the spotlight, albeit briefly, by his friend and Willoughby neighbour Chad Brownlee, who earned himself the video of the year award for the song When the Lights Go Down.

Brownlee also shared recognition with fellow Langley producer and musican Mitch Merrett, as well as Ben Glover, when accepting the SOCAN songwriter of the year award for the same song.

It was also a huge night – actually a big weekend – for Langley singer and songwriter Karen Lee Batten, who brought home her fifth female vocalist of the year award.

“This win is pretty special to me. It is my fifth BC female vocalist award that I have won, and is the most wins in this category in the history of the BC Country Music Association. I really can’t

She first won this first award back in 2004, with the release of her first independent country album Every Moment. She subsequently won the title for the next two years, then “life happened, and I had to slow down for a couple years. I really do believe that it’s not what happens, but how you bounce back,” Batten said.

“No one let me stay down, my family and friend and the industry as a whole was right there all the time to say ‘get off you a** and keep going.’ I owe this to them, they helped me believe in what I do and kept reminding me that it is truly who I am,” she explained.

In 2014, Batten released her sophomore independent album Cause a Scene, and is about to release her fifth single, with plans to return to the studio early next year to work on her third album.

“There is nothing that makes me happier in my line of work than to be able to say that…

Thank you, B.C. Thank you for this award. Thank you for believing in me.”

Every industry has its conventions, but there are few that garner the level of attention that rains down on the entertainment world. > More at langleyadvance.com

There’s been a lot of buzz about the Langley Pos-Abilities Society lately, and for good reason. Founder of the society Zosia Ettenberg believes awareness of disabilities is key to understanding.

“My belief is that if people understand the disability, they are more likely to include the person with the disability in their circle of friends,” she said.

Two events – one past, one coming soon – give people an understanding of the challenges faced by those with various disabilities; from being in a wheelchair to being blind.

The September, Try on a Disability challenge, was Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance well received, according to Ettenberg.

City of Langley Mayor Ted Schaffer was one of the challengers in the “It actually went extremely September, Try on a Disability challenge. well,” she said. “I was very impressed with how everyone as our students who were film- silent and live auctions, and handled everything, especially presentations.

Derek and Tammy Condon will go to great lengths to raise funds for Canuck Place children’s hospice.

So much so, they transformed the front of their Willoughby home to resemble a set from the Pirates of the Caribbean, just in time for Halloween.

The couple has set up a pirate-themed haunted yard and garage at their home on 84th Avenue about a block east of 208th Street.

“We used to do themes with another family… at their location, and we were doing a lot more gore, cemetery, zombie-type themes, and we weren’t getting very many kids,” Derek explained.

“They’d actually come look at it but they wouldn’t come down the driveway.”

Pirates, even those of the skeletal variety, seem to have mass appeal to the 10 and under set, in Derek’s opinion.

The payoff is two-fold.

It offers visitors some Halloween fun and most importantly, to raise funds for a cause that is very close to the Condon family and their neighbours.

Braeden Hanawalt, six, and his four-year-old brother Nathan dressed a visit to a haunted pirate ship Oct. 24.

“There are three local families, right in this little area, in this immediate neighbourhood, who have had to use Canuck Place,” Derek said. “That’s not a good thing. It’s usually terminal, 90 per cent of the cases, but it’s not just about the children, it’s about the families.”

The ship, which is lit up when darkness falls, is open to the public from roughly 4 to 8 or 9 p.m. each day leading up to Halloween night, Oct. 31.

Those who donate to Canuck Place will receive raffle tickets for various prizes as well as an Apple iPad Mini and gift cards

for local restaurants.

The donor will be assigned ballots into a random draw to be made at noon Nov. 4.

Entries will be accepted till Nov. 1 at midnight.

The ballots will be allocated as follows: Donations of $10 to $50 equals three ballots, $50plus equals five ballots, and $100-plus equals 10 ballots.

Donation envelopes will be available at the pirate ship.

People can also donate online through the Condon fundraising page on the Canuck Place website.

at the Langley Events Centre on Oct. 24 brought out a few interesting costumed characters. There wasn’t much to scream about for Langley Rivermen fans, however, as their junior A squad lost 4-1 to the visiting Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

Pumpkin patch fun for burn survivors Aldor Acres was ‘incredible host.’ While the sun only made a few brief appearances, it was a fine day to visit a pumpkin patch in Glen Valley on Oct. 17.

The BC Professional Fire Fighters’ (BCPFF) Burn Fund and the Township of Langley Firefighters, with support from Envision Financial, hosted the sixth annual Pumpkin Patch event.

A total of 160 people including Township firefighters and their families took part in activities that included a petting zoo corner, hayrides, picking out a pumpkin to take home from Aldor Acre’s pumpkin patch, a visit with Sparky the Fire Dog, a tour of a Langley Township fire truck, and a hotdog lunch.

Brits will roll into Langley

Canada’s Equestrian University-Preparatory High school for girls

Vehicles involved in Sunday’s Brighton Commemorative Run start in Maple Ridge and wind up in Langley.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

E

ven if the vehicles taking part in this Sunday’s London to Brighton Commemorative Run travel well below the posted speed limit, they’d be racing at a breakneck pace if it was around the dawn of the 20th century.

On Nov. 1, the Old English Car Club’s Vancouver Coast Branch hosts its annual run, which starts at the east Maple Ridge A&W location and finishes at the Fox and Fiddle Pub on the Langley Bypass.

The Fraser Valley cruise commemorates the U.K. “London to Brighton Vintage Car Run” which takes place the same day.

The first U.K. London to Brighton Vintage car Run was held Nov. 14, 1896, and was originally called “The Motor Car Tour to Brighton,” noted Malcolm Tait, a member of the organizing committee.

The run celebrates the repeal of the British law that limited vehicle speed to four miles an hour (6.4 kph) and required motorized vehicles to be led by a person waving a red flag.

Four mph was considered the pace of a fast walking person.

The new speed limit was 14 mph (or 22.5 kph).

The vehicles involved in the modern-day, U.K. version of the run are limited to those made in 1904 or earlier and last year there were 620 cars registered. loser to home, the run welcomes British cars of any vintage.

The chair of this year’s run is Maple Ridge British car buff Walter Reynolds, the proud owner of 1963 Rover P5 3 Litre. Reynolds has taken part in the run for the past 13 years, and has been a member of the event’s organizing committee for the past four.

So why did he take on the role of chair? “No one else vol-

It’s only natural that the England-born Reynolds has had a near lifelong interest in British cars – he noted that his first car was a “black 1950-something Ford Prefect.”

A member of the Old English Car Club (OECC), Vancouver Coast Branch, Reynolds said British vehicles are “different” and “attract attention wherever we drive them.”

“Someone always knows of a person in their life, a relative or a friend, who owned one of what you are driving,” Reynolds said, adding that the OECC’s London to Brighton Commemorative Run is “our way of celebrating what is a British landmark motoring event that has been held every year since 1896, except for the World War years.”

The highest total for the Canadian run has been roughly 60 vehicles, and who gets involved is often dictated by Mother Nature.

The beginning of November has “always been iffy,” Tait remarked. “A lot of the convertible drivers don’t like the wet weather,” he said.

The OECC Vancouver Coast Branch has been holding a celebratory run since 1996, the 100th anniversary of the U.K. run, and was started by then branch member Roy Wilkins.

or the first 12 years the cruise was called the “Ladner to Bellingham Run” with the route going between those communities.

Due to delays at the borDuncan, Vancouver Island, British Columbia der crossing, the route was T 250 746-4185 | admissions@qms.bc.ca altered to remain in the Lower Mainland and the event’s name also changed to reflect this.

The starting point being north of the Fraser River adds a fresh new wrinkle, Tait said.

“The idea was to do something a little bit different,” said Tait, the owner of a 1970 Rover 2000. “We’ve always done it on the south side of the river and this offers different roads, and the drivers will see a bit of different scenery.”

PET OF THE WEEK DONATE, ADOPT, VOLUNTEER Moya is a very friendly German Shepherd looking for someone to give all that love to.

Moya requires slow introductions to other dogs and could likely live with the right dog. A confident cat is a possibility for this girl. Moya grew up with children so she would love to share a home with them or have them visit. Walking Moya requires a confident leash holder as Moya is conflicted about meeting new dogs (barks anxiously and pulls). This is something she overcomes after about 10 minutes of walking with the other dog ahead or behind a short distance.

Moya has flea and food allergies so will require a special diet and good vet care life-long. In exchange you will get a dog that demonstrates why people love this adoring and loyal breed.

MORE ABOUT MOYA House trained • Spayed/Neutered • Current on vaccinations To learn more about this dog please call LAPS at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter and ask to speak to his/her trainer. No emails please.

BRIEFS

PERFORMANCE

Fort man is Cirque’s laughmaker Wee ones STUART DERDEYN Special to the Langley Advance

There are common garden variety clowns. Then there is the King of Fools.

Fort Langley-bred Gordon White wears the royal laughmaker’s crown in Cirque du Soleil’s new show Kooza, which opens this week in the blue-and-whitestriped big top tent in False Creek South. It’s a role the lifetime jokester relishes as it returns the company to its roots courtesy of globally famous guffaw guru, David Shiner.

“This is the first show I’ve ever done a creation for and

Gerry Kahrmann/PNG

Crews raise Cirque du Soleil’s big top for Kooza at Concord Pacific Place in Vancouver. working with David is an honour as he has developed some of the finest pieces in the world, such as the now-classic silent movie where he pulls eight or so

audience members out and then makes a full silent movie with them,” said White.

For Kooza, the goal was to go back to the clowning and acrobatic roots of Cirque du Soleil, with less of the super high gloss production apparatus of some recent shows.

The narrative follows the Innocent’s journey through a world of comic and athletic characters with a focus on such comic characters as White’s King of Fools, the robotic Heimloss and crowd-pleasing Obnoxious Tourist and Bad Dog. “Everyone may not know it, but to really make it

work as a clown, you need to be completely exposed and vulnerable and in this one, I’m digging deep as I can into my inner dolt,” White said. “The King may rule, but he barely seems aware of where he is or what he’s doing.”

Being a clown is a unique headspace to maintain and makes clowns their own clique in the circus world.

“I knew I wanted to be a performer, specifically a clown, watching the Ed Sullivan Show as young as age five,” he said.

They are still used for water divining.

Willow’s magic included its ability to relieve pain and to heal. The active substance in willow is salicyclic acid which is now made synthetically in the pain-reliever known as Aspirin.

Cuttings can root faster and stronger if started in willow water. This is made by using water which has had many small-cut willow twigs soaking in it. The twigs are removed after a day or so and the cuttings either started in that water or watered several times with it.

ˠ Langley’s campaign in the Ninth Victory Loan series started with $87,000 subscribed in the first two days.

The district quota was $405,000. Charlie Thompson was the organizer and Dave Barlow the chairman of the canvassing committee. Canvassers were R. Kent, F.D. Creelman, E. Dobling, George Twiss, James Grant, M. McGarrigle, A.E. Gibson, and Alf Marr. ˠ Overcrowding of the high school prompted school trustee W.L. Dence to call for construction of a new one.

Sixty Years Ago October 27, 1955

He was to be paid $40 per day plus any stenographic expenses. ˠ Mabelson Rd. was left without access to the Langley shopping centre after heavy water flow undercut supports and toppled a bridge. ˠ Fort Langley’s Klondyke Night drew 2,500 merrymakers. ˠ A single potato brought in to the Langley Advance office tipped the scales at 22 pounds, 12 ounces – which was topped by a 31-lb., 9-oz. whopper brought in by Mr. Dohm.

Langley stop on long trek A five-month walk comes to an end for a hospice supporter.

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Ian Bos, left, and Roy Clements, right, walked with the Supportive Steps group on 48th Avenue on a bright autumn Friday.

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Ian Bos is almost finished his long walk across Canada.

Bearded and thinner than when he started, Bos has spent the last five months walking from coast to coast, raising money and awareness about hospice and palliative care.

He embarked from New Glasgow, N.S., on May 21 and walked about 45 kilometers a day, while carrying a 50 pound pack.

He met with the Supportive Steps walking club for part of his trek through Langley, and stopped at the Hospice offices Friday afternoon.

“It’s kind of a bittersweet thing,” he said of the imminent end of his walk, scheduled to wrap up in Victoria.

It’s been an amazing chance to raise awareness, he said.

Bos said his mind wants him to keep going, but his body is ready for it to be over.

During his walk, he has stopped at more than 100 hospices across the country. He said there is still a need for more services, and that two thirds of Canadians don’t have

Matthew Claxton Langley Advance

access to proper palliative care at the end of their lives.

Also walking with Bos for a stretch was Langley’s own long-distance Hospice walker, Roy Clements.

The Langley Advance profiled Roy earlier this year just before he headed off to England to walk coast-to-coast there.

After coming home to Canada to get his feet looked at by a doctor, Clements then headed back to the U.K. to do another long coastal walk with

his grandsons.

Those are just warmups for the 70-plus man’s hike of the Santiago de Compostella next year.

That walk is a historic pilgrimage route through France and Spain.

Both men embarked on their walks to honour people who have passed away.

Bos is walking for his late father, and Clements does his walking in memory of his wife Doreen.

Couple combines their creations RONDA PAYNE

news@langleyadvance.com

If, in the words of Henry Ford, “working together is success,” Langley’s Suzanne Northcott and her husband, David Kimura, are very successful.

The pair of artists have been working together locally and opened their first shared exhibit yesterday at the Fort Gallery.

Translations is a blend of Northcott’s Pondscapes painting

collection and Kimura’s photography, film, and bronze sculpture.

“It’s the first time David and I have shown together,” Northcott said. “It’s his first show in decades... his first Canadian show.”

Kimura has been living and sculpting in Langley with Northcott full-time for a few years. He had been living in Seattle running a successful design business before returning his focus to art.

“We live at our studio right now,” added Northcott. “It’s a space that we’ve been using for the last couple of years. We have a very peaceful, kind of removed life here where we can work in close proximity.”

One of Kimura’s sculptures is in the garden behind the Fort Gallery; a garden which he designed and is in the process of creating.

“His sculpture has always been in the garden,” Northcott said.

Township For the week of October 29, 2015

The Translations exhibition runs until Nov. 15 at the gallery at 9048 Glover Rd. The opening event is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 30, from 7 to 9 p.m.

“There is a definite vibe,” noted Northcott of the combined work being shown in the gallery together.

“The vibe is peaceful and complex at the same time.” > More: langleyadvance.com, search ‘The Translations’

Susan Northcott and David Kimura have their first show of combined artwork running until Nov. 15.

They fought for us, for our country, and for our future.

Remembrance Day: Lest We Forget We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifices of those hundreds of thousands of Canadians will be meaningless. They died for us, for our homes, for our families, and our friends.

They gave of themselves for a collection of traditions Canadians cherish, and a future we all believed in. They died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice and their valour rests with our collective national consciousness.

Rivermen nipped by Bulldogs Langley head coach Bobby Henderson said his team has been ‘snakebitten’ recently.

TROY LANDREVILLE sports@langleyadvance.com

The Langley Rivermen are going through an identity crisis.

Are they the team that reeled off four straight wins to start October, or the somewhat fragile bunch who have lost three of their past four games?

Langley head coach Bobby Henderson is trying to figure that out as the Rivermen prepare for home games at the Langley Events Centre against Coquitlam on Friday night and Surrey on Sunday afternoon.

“Our starts have been pretty good but our last four games haven’t been too great for us,” Henderson said, in the wake of his squad’s 4-1 loss to the visiting Alberni Valley Bulldogs last Saturday at the LEC. Henderson said that there is no reason why the Rivermen can’t get back to playing solid, winning hockey again, once they regain their mojo.

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

Langley Rivermen forward Max Kaufman tried to set up a screen in front of Alberni Valley Bulldogs goaltender Carson Schamerhorn during Saturday’s B.C. Hockey League game at the Langley Events Centre. The Bulldogs downed the Rivermen 4-1.

Heading into this weekend, the Rivermen sport a 9-6 record.

“It’s typical of teams right now, with peaks and valleys,” Henderson said, of the

MINOR FOOTBALL

Bantam Bears rolling North Langley is 6-1-1 on the season.

Opposing teams are having a bear of a time beating North Langley Football’s bantams.

The bantam Bears improved to 6-1-1 on the season with a convincing 40-0 victory over their cross town rivals, the Langley Mustangs.

Isiah Key tossed his first touchdown pass of the year to Alex Ronald who in turn

picked up his first touchdown reception.

Alex Henderson and Connor Hurley also caught passes from Key while second half quarterback Nick Lacroix had completions to Isaiah Coronado and Luke Chalk.

Evan Rees led the Bears with 101 yards and a touchdown on the ground while Ethan Bernardin scored two majors of his own on just three carries. continued on page A26…

Rivermen’s recent struggles.

“We’ve been in a bit of a slump, here, of late, but we’re not playing bad hockey. We’re in games, it’s a matter of not getting the bounces and not playing with as much enthusiasm as we’ve had.”

On Saturday, despite its 5-8-11 record, Alberni Valley dominated the Rivermen on both the shot clock and the scoreboard.

Alberni Valley outshot Langley 40-18, including 17-1 during the third period in which they scored twice to take a 4-1 advantage.

Matthew Graham scored the lone Rivermen goal in the first period, swiping a loose puck past Bulldogs goaltender Carson Schamerhorn.

Langley puck stopper Bo Didur was named the second star of the game as he made 29 saves over the final 40 minutes of action.

Alberni Valley’s leading scorer Josh Adkins notched a hat trick, sandwiching power play goals in the first and third periods around an even strength marker in the middle frame.

Henderson said the Rivermen scorers have been “snakebitten” recently and as a whole, the team has to “get back to having fun. We have to get reset and refocused.”

Leapfrogging the Rivermen in the Mainland standings are the second place Chilliwack Chiefs (9-5-1-2 for 21 points) and first place Wenatchee Wild (10-4-2-1 for 23 points).

ICE CHIPS: The Rivermen’s game versus Coquitlam on Friday has a 7:15 p.m. opening puck drop.

Sunday’s game against Surrey gets underway at 3 p.m.

Chilliwack Giants fall

PRO LACROSSE

Stealth acquire Langley scoring star Hometown boy Garrett Billings has an eyecatching resume.

Garrett Billings is coming home.

The same way crafty guard Steve Nash should have played for the former Vancouver Grizzlies of the NBA, it seemed like a natural fit for Billings, a playmaking righty, to end up in his hometown of Langley as a member of the National Lacrosse League’s Vancouver Stealth.

The wait for Billings to play pro lacrosse in Langley came to an end this week when the Stealth acquired him in a trade with the New England Black Wolves.

In exchange for Billings, Vancouver sent forward Tyler Digby and a 2017 second round draft pick to New England. Digby just completed his second season in the NLL, compiling 38 goals and 36 assists for 74 points.

He was a runner-up for NLL Rookie of the Year in 2014.

In Billings, Vancouver adds the first player in NLL history to record three consecutive 100 point seasons.

He was a finalist for the league’s Most Valuable Player award in 2012, ’13 and ’14 and has been the recipient of the league’s Sportsmanship Award in 2013 and ’14. He was also named to the NLL’s first all-star team in 2012, ’13 and ’14.

The Bears came out energized after the break and moved the ball up the field, and on the eighth play of their drive, Evans ran in for a touchdown.

FUNDRAISER

Trio lifts, slams tire for autism initiatives A unique fundraiser benefiting those with autism was held in Langley, and around the world on Oct. 17.

On Oct. 17 at Sailor Jack’s Barbell Garage inside Canlan Ice Sports Langley Twin Rinks, Jen Gibson and her fiancé Christopher Reed took part in Kettlebells 4 Autism, an hour-long endurance event that raised funds for autism research and support initiatives.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Christopher Reed, his fiancée Jen Gibson, and her sister Lori Gibson powered through a very strenuous late Saturday morning, Oct. 17.

Reed, who owns and operates Sailor Jack’s Barbell Garage inside Canlan Ice Sports Langley Twin Rinks, completed 599 long cycles (lifts/repetitions) of a 16 kilogram (35 lb.) kettlebell for an hour straight.

Jen, meanwhile, completed 210 repetitions with a 12 kg (26 lb.) kettlebell in 25 minutes before finishing up the hour with 403 reps using a 10 kg (22 lb.) kettlebell.

Lori, having recently rehabilitated her knee from an injury she sustained while running, showed her support by per-

forming sledgehammer strikes to a truck tire for 15 minutes, and ended up hammering away for the full hour.

As well, Jen and Lori’s mom Rica Pizzanto also participated and completed 200 repetitions using a 10 kg (22 lb.) kettlebell over 20 minutes.

They did all this inside Sailor Jack’s for Kettlebells 4 Autism one hour long cycle

challenge, which last year raised more than $70,000 for autism research and support initiatives.

On Oct. 17, the Langley participants raised $465, just shy of their $500 goal.

Donations to Christopher, Jen, and Lori’s cause can still be made through the link: www.kintera.org/i. asp?id=1145987-427291861.

Created by Christina Danos in February 2013, Kettlebells 4 Autism (KB4A) has a goal of raising awareness about autism through kettlebell training and sport.

The event, along with merchandise sales, also raises funds for a minimum of four not-for-profit organizations.

Sailor Jack’s was one of three locations in B.C. and among 63 satellite sites in the world participating in this year’s one-hour long cycle event.

“We all started at the same time, so this is a simultaneous, world-wide initiative,” said Reed, who last year completed more than 700 reps over the hour.

Last year, Reed lifted for charity alone so having his fiancée and her sister working out alongside him gave him even more motivation.

“It absolutely helps to have people around, with you, participating with you at the same time,” Reed shared.

Lori pushing through for the entire hour, 45 minutes longer than initially planned, was heartening, as well, Reed added.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: KMC-ROW IVMP-2015

Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9.

Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509) In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for KMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The PMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC’s rights-of-way and access roads to its pipeline systems and facilities. In British Columbia, KMC operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline transporting crude oil and refined petroleum products and the Jet Fuel Pipeline transporting aviation fuel. The pipelines are located below ground and in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Little Fort, Darfield, McLure, Heffley Creek, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond.

This PMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5 year PMP which expires in 2016. The proposed duration of the IVMP (PMP) is from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2021.

The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand cutting and pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, retaining existing low ground cover, and seeding, fertilization where set backs permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies and may include the use biological control agents. KMC conducts all work, including pest management, in strict adherence with all applicable laws and regulations.

The common names and an example of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), Hasten (adjuvant) and siloxylated polyether (adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, wick/ wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle and boom sprayer.

A draft copy of the proposed IVMP (PMP) and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail online http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_row_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Applicant listed above.

“A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
