How Could I Tell Them?

My feet ached terribly as I stood there, shivering in the rain. I could see the discomfort in the faces of the men around me, not only because of the physical conditions, but also because of what we were watching take place in front of us. Lawrence Clark, a fellow soldier working with our unit on the front lines was penalized with death for deserting. I was there. He had broken down, shaking terribly, and speaking things we couldn’t understand. He didn’t make it far from the trenches in his attempt to get away before collapsing and being hauled back.

It was well know among us that he was suffering from shell shock.

Now Clark stood in front of us, blindfolded and tied, his head hanging.

The firing squad took aim. There was an unsettling moment of silence, then four shots. Lawrence Clark fell motionless to the ground. He was only 19. He was not the first. He was, in fact, the second soldier guilty of deserting this month.

None of the men really talked about it, but there was some kind of a deep understanding of what we were all going through together. This understanding was not something that we could expect our families at home to relate to.

Nonetheless, we were encouraged to write letters to our wives and children often, as they would generally write to us quite regularly. Thoughts spun in my head as I sat down to write. What could I say? The letters were censored, so I chose my words carefully:

Writer rallies against parking facility Opposition is growing to a truck parking and washing facility in south Surrey.

Groups are lining up against a 77-acre truck parking facility at 16th Avenue and 192nd Street on both sides of the Surrey/ Langley border and now have some notable help.

Writer Margaret Atwood has waded into the issue.

The facility would include parking for many big rigs as well as washing facilities for the trucks, warehousing, and mechanical and service bays. Critics claim it could be used by 1,300 trucks.

It does research in the Little Campbell Valley watershed which is considered important salmon bearing habitat.

According to A Rocha Canada, the watershed is home to five species of salmon and trout.

FHCV says at least 13 endangered species live there.

Help staff the Painters needed Christmas red kettles decorators are

The Salvation Army campaign is in need of local volunteers for the annual charity campaign.

HEATHER COLPITTS

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope hopes to build upon the increasing use of technology for the annual fundraising kettle campaign this Christmas.

Four kettle sites will have secure iPads so people can donate electronically.

“There’s definitely a component of the community that appreciates using those,” said Troy Gaglardi, the Gateway director of community resources.

The kettle campaign runs Nov. 10 to Dec. 24.

The kettles are a key source of fundraising for Gateway’s work.

IPads will be available for credit card donations at WalMart, Willowbrook Shopping Centre, Otter Coop and the Signature BC Liquor Store in Willowbrook. Gaglardi said they would like to obtain more iPads to allow them to be at more locations. Receipts are emailed.

About 500 kettle volunteers are needed for the more than 3,000 shifts this holiday season at 20 locations. A shift is two hours. People can do more if they are able.

Gaglardi said the feedback received from the public is that they see the kettles as a symbol of the spirit of the season.

“What I’m hearing more and more often is that people are pleased to hear the Christmas bells ringing and see the Salvation Army shield out in the community,” he said, “and it’s a reminder to reach out and help others.”

Gaglardi said people will often comment when donating that they appreciate the Salvation Army help received by a family member or a friend.

Gateway has a volunteer orientation at 6:15 p.m. on Nov. 10 and another planned for Dec. 1 for the kettle campaign. He added that there’s also volunteer opportunities for things such as drivers to ferry kettles to and from sites and other behind-the-scenes tasks.

Gateway will continue its program with the Stepping Stone Society which has clients staff kettles to help them gain certain social experience.

And schools can contact Gateway about student placements.

Gaglardi said secondary students must volunteer at kettles with other people, never alone and anyone younger than high school age can volunteer if accompanied by a parent.

Volunteer applications are available online at gatewayofhope.ca or at the shelter, 5787 Langley Bypass, beside Kwantlen Polytechnic University. For information, call 604-514-7375.

Another growing holiday effort for the shelter is Christmas hampers.

“Last year we did about 550 food hampers,” Gaglardi said.

Gateway is accepting donations of certain foods for holiday hampers. The Christian Life Assembly has said it will be a drop-off point and other churches are welcome to take part.

Details on how to apply for food hampers will be announced closer to Christmas.

asked to help.

The Township of Langley is looking for volunteers who like to paint.

On Friday, Nov. 6 from 6 to 9 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 7 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. helpers will be preparing plywood cutouts for Christmas in Williams Park, noted arts and culture programmer Hannah Bennett.

STOREWIDE SAVINGS

“We’ll be cleaning some of them off and retouching some and repainting some,” she said.

The activity will be in the Williams Park hut and under the covered picnic area in the park so volunteers are advised to dress in layers for the wet, cool weather. Supplies are provided.

Many of the cutouts were donated by local families.

“They have such a lovely hand-created quality,” she noted.

Mark Metcalf has found a new home after a long stretch of having no place to call his own. and moved in with a roommate.

But that situation ended when Metcalf was hit by health issues and lost his job. He was back at the shelter.

Metcalf’s health concerns are so serious that he can no longer go back to construction work.

He’s had three strokes, has a stent in his heart, and has a broken disk in his back.

“I want to work,” he says immediately after talking about his injuries.

This time, with his new home at the Elm, Metcalf is hoping

he’s found a stable place he can call his own.

He’s slowly collecting some furniture and personal possessions, things he hasn’t owned in many years.

He’s got a microwave, a couch, and is starting on the kit for his kitchen.

It’s a slow and steady process, he said.

But having moved in in late summer, Metcalf is already enjoying privacy.

“Peace and quite, nobody’s moving around,” he said.

He’s keeping busy by going back to the Gateway of Hope, this time to help others.

“Mark’s been a blessing to us at the Gateway of Hope,” said John Dewsbury, Metcalf’s program advisor.

Metcalf is working in the kitchen, helping with pickups and donations, and with the setup for the Thursday coffeehouse.

If not for his stint at Gateway, Metcalf doesn’t think he’d be in a good place now.

“Probably out on the street, or locked up in the hospital in a straitjacket,” he said.

He knows of other homeless people who have spent years without even a couch to crash on.

“I see a lot of people that are on the street, and they get used to it,” he said. He didn’t want that to happen to him.

shut for upgrades The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Pacific Region is closing the Aldergrove border until Nov. 22 to certain users.

The Port of Entry is being shut down for much of this month to commerical vehicle traffic.

The closure applies to all medium and large commercial vehicles (i.e. tractor-trailers and semi-trailers) from Nov. 9 to Nov. 22 to accommodate construction upgrades.

During this period, medium and large commercial vehicles must reroute to the Pacific Highway Commercial crossing or the Abbotsford-Huntingdon Commercial crossing.

Commercial importers in small vehicles (automobiles and pick-up trucks) will be able to access the Aldergrove facility through regular traffic lanes during this time.

Full service resumes Nov. 23. Commercial operations will then operate seven days a week from 8 a.m. to midnight, including statutory holidays.

The $17.7 million upgrade will mean more lanes, expanded commercial facilities and a Nexus lane.

Legion look different in the future

W

ags during the recent federal election suggested abolishing the Canadian Senate and using the millions saved to provide better benefits to Canada’s military veterans since they actually did work on behalf of this country. Ironically as veteran benefits have signficantly changed in recent years, so too have the fortunes of some branches of the Royal Canadian Legion.

When is a troll not just a troll?

P

oe’s Law explains why the internet went insane over Star Wars the other day.

Poe’s Law (not written by Edgar Allen) goes back to the early days of online discussion. It states that, without a clear indicator, parodies of extreme views will be indistinguishable from sincere views.

Ask a Grade 9 English teacher sometime about how many of their students thought Jonathan Swift was serious about eating Irish babies.

Poe’s Law is so well embedded in the DNA of the modern internet that trolls have weaponized it for their own amusement.

What happened last week was that a small clique of trolls started a hashtag on Twitter: #BoycottStarWarsVII. Because, as they explained, it didn’t have enough white people in it. One of the leads is black! The horrors!

So the first two or three participants in the #BoycottStarWarsVII tag spewed as much racist vitriol as possible.

Then they were joined by A) several real racists and B) quite a few more trolls. As soon as normal humans started to notice the hashtag, a massive, angry backlash formed that soon comprised 94 per cent of all the tweets, according to website Mashable.com’s analysis.

Poe’s Law is at play in two ways here.

First, a lot of the people seeing and writ-

ing about the hashtag for the first time thought there was some kind of genuine movement involved. That was never true. It was just a couple of jackasses doing it for kicks, the way you might throw rocks at hornet’s nest to watch them swarm about in fury.

Second… I’ve mentioned “trolls” and “real racists” but it’s literally impossible to tell which is which, or if MATTHEW there’s any meaningful distinction between the two.

The people who started the hashtag have referred to themselves as trolls via Twitter before. They openly wanted to get the hashtag trending, to make it visible and to stir up exactly the sort of response that it did.

So you might think that they don’t really believe any of the vile, “white power” sentiments they were deploying.

But if you track back through their tweets, they’ve been saying stuff like this for months and months, picking different targets, but always using racism as the base layer of their trolling.

So are they trolls who use racism because it’s shocking, or are they racists who like trolling? No one can say.

Compare their case to Joshua Goldberg, currently under arrest in

Painful Truth

With changes in technology that allow people to obtain information on veterans’ benefits and services easier than in the past, processes will move quicker.

There still needs to be recognition that the psychological impacts of service can be as scaring as the medical. Ways are needed for those who share common experiences to come together. In that past that included legion branches but how vets use them have changed.

The Langley Branch 21 is one example.

Despite downsizing in 2010 from its Eastleigh Crescent site to 56th Avenue, it could not sustain itself. This year the branch moved to an office complex with no lounge or entertainment facilities.

It all boils down to money. The Langley branch can’t afford to stay the same and command (basically head office) dictated that changes would be made.

It leaves local veterans without a place to gather and regain a sense of camaraderie, which is essential for the ongoing well-being of many of those who served our country and have since retired from service.

It’s a comment echoed by David Scrivens, a local military serviceman interviewed for our Remembrance Day feature. Scrivens noted the social aspect of legions is needed when people leave the military. Scrivens also drove home the point that the money raised by legion activities like the poppy fund are key to the well-being of many military-based families like his own.

No matter what we as individuals think about a particular battle or conflict and no matter how politicians play around with benefits, as long as Canada has sent soldiers to do a job, veterans will be created, we owe them and the legion has an important role.

the U.S. A guy in his early 20s from Florida, he was a world-class troll, creating multiple personas, some of whom fought with one another. Each was extreme – some right wingers, some left wingers, some calling for the extermination of the Palestinians, others for white power, others for locking up anyone convicted of “hate speech” in re-education CLAXTON camps.

One of Goldberg’s personas was a supposed ISIS sympathizer.

The ISIS persona sent along links to bomb-making websites to a supposed wannabe terrorist – who was actually an FBI informant investigating Islamic extremism.

Goldberg isn’t Muslim, he isn’t a terrorist… but he went along with someone he thought was serious because that was the role he was playing.

Intent matters, but only so far. If your intent is to stir up trouble and piss people off, and your only tools are virulent racism, misogyny, and anti-Semitism, how are you really any different from a real racist, misogynist, or anti-Semite?

On the internet, there’s no difference.

Dear Editor, We in B.C. are $66 billion in debt, but no problem, we can just tax, spend, and subsidize our way to prosperity.

There is no money for schools, but let’s borrow another $10.6 million tax/debt and give it to our friends, in the name of environmentalism.

Clean Energy Vehicles (CEVs) are spun as incentives, rather than subsidies, to ease your suspicious pain for new electric/ hybrid or hydrogen fuel cell vehicles – and $5,000 off list price goes to the new car dealer, $6,000 for a hydrogen CEV. Then, there are the investment

subsidies in the charging stations infrastructure around the province.

Electric cars don’t emit CO2 on the road, but the energy used for their manufacture and battery-charges far negate any benefits.

Yet another study confirms that almost 50 per cent of lifetime CO2 emissions come from the energy used to produce the electric car, especially the battery. Compare that to the manufacture of a gas-powered car at 17 per cent of its lifetime CO2 emissions.

The electric car, fresh off the production line, has already used

up the equivalent of 128,700 kilometres of travel emissions, more than twice that of the gas car.

Without subsidies, electric vehicles would not be selling on their own merits, as they are inefficient in cold Canadian winters.

The electric/hybrid is merely a status symbol that has about a 15-year average payback period.

People who purchase electric/ hybrids are higher income earners, so through taxes, it’s the struggling lower-income class subsidizing the more affluent class.

Roland Seguin, Langley

‘Spin doctors’ keep Thanks for vote war machine rolling Dear Editor Two sides, two stories.

The Canadian government’s worst nightmare scenario would be the capture of one of the RCAF pilots currently bombing terrorist targets in Iraq and Syria.

After a Jordanian pilot was captured, ISIS released an elaborately staged propaganda video to show the pilot being burned to death.

The Western media used words like brutal, savage, horrific, and demonic to describe the event. ISIS succeeded in its objectives: intimidating its opponents and publicizing itself.

Vietnam proved the public can not handle the truth about war if they see vivid images of the oozing blood and disemboweled guts. But governments know their military operations depend on the tacit support of the public. Cue the spin doctors.

Coalition forces, including Canada, steadfastly maintain their pin-point precision bombing rarely harms civilians.

Meanwhile, independent investigators, who are not embedded in the armed forces, have found credible evidence that indicates hundreds of civilian deaths have already occurred.

The families and friends of innocent victims, who may have died in fiery explosions, must think the Western powers are also brutal, savage, horrific and demonic.

War is the most hellish for the blameless bystanders.

The least we can do is insist on knowing the truth.

Lloyd Atkins, Vernon

Dear Editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those voters who marked an “x” next to my name on their ballot.

Your support was much appreciated and I would have been humbled to represent you both here in the riding of LangleyAldergrove as well as in Ottawa.

My congratulations go to Mark Warawa on his re-election.

And finally, I would like to thank all of you who voted or participated in the democratic process as fully as your current citizenship status permitted.

Democracy is a very precious institution and well worth fighting to preserve.

The alternative is highly dangerous and compromises those rights and freedoms we as Canadians are privileged to take for granted.

Margot Sangster NDP candidate for Langley-Aldergrove

Birth mom pro-life Dear Editor, My birth mom had me and then gave me up for adoption.

My adoptive parents then picked me out of a nursery at four weeks old.

My birth mom is pro-life, and that is why I’m pro-life.

I also believe that life begins at conception and ends at natural death.

Dean Clark, Langley

It was a belated birthday present, if you will, for the Fort Langley resident who celebrated his 36th birthday recently.

During the presentation, Matheson was said to believe that while making a profit and building a successful business is important, that he wants his legacy to reflect a longlasting positive impact on his community and the members of his C&D family.

Asked a day after receiving the award if the triumph had sunk in, Matheson said “it was awesome,” but quickly added that he actually hadn’t spent much time thinking about it beyond ther ceremony. He and the team were back to work first thing the next morning.

Chamber executive director Lynn Whitehouse said the addition of the U40 category is reflective of the increasing number of younger people getting involved with the Langley business organization.

There were 10 awards presented to Langley businesses or business people for outstanding contributions in their industry and the community.

He was “pretty humbled” by the entire experience, as he accepted the first ever U40 (under 40 years old) businessperson of the year award handed out by the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce during the annual Celebration of Excellence gala on Thursday, Oct. 29.

“Any time you can get recognized in a field of so many worthy businesses, it’s really an honour,” said the owner of C&D Logistics. “This is a tremendous honour.”

He started the Walnut Grove business in 2006, with his wife, Laurel, with the main objective for the shipping and receiving company to “move anything and everything, anywhere,” Matheson said.

“It’s been a wonderful ride” thus far, he said of his experience as an entrepreneur.

Morphing furniture for charity Carrie Thachuk’s efforts to repurpose chairs is again helping Langley’s Christmas Bureau.

ROXANNE HOOPER rhooper@langleyadvance.com

No matter how much support one person wants to offer to the Langley Christmas Bureau, there’s only so many chairs they have room for in their home and/or office.

With that logic in mind, organizers of tonight’s Chairs For Charity annual fundraiser have diversified this year’s event even further.

But founder Carrie Thachuk will keep true to her original goal: to maintain interest and participation while raising money and attention for a worthy cause.

Thachuk, owner of The Passionate Home, started this fundraiser five years ago after searching for different ways that she and her company could give back to the community that has supported her for more than a decade.

“Because I’m all about the reclaiming, restyling, and redecorating, the Chairs for Charity came to be… It’s something people can easily be part of… and everyone can use at least one nice chair in their life.”

Year one, she and her team painted and refinished 13 chairs that were then auctioned off at a social event.

That inaugural event raise close to $1,300 for the bureau. Since

Roxanne Hooper/Langley Advance

Carrie Thachuk is holding the fifth annual Chairs + More For Charity fundraiser at her Passionate Home store on Thursday, Nov. 5, with these two kids rockers up for sale in the auction that benefits the Langley Christmas Bureau. then, other businesses, customers, and individuals in the community have taken to donating refurbished chairs for auction, excited to be part of what is described as a “unique” charity event.

The fundraiser has grown and morphed a little each year since, with last year’s Chairs + More for Charity at Frosting Cupcakery attracting 65 people and garnering $4,000 for the cause.

This year, Thachuk hopes to raise even more cash for the charity by adding a $10 admission fee (which includes the provision of wine and food), plus she’s added a few more and different types of items to the live and silent auction list.

For instance, this year there is a refurbished dresser up for grabs,

plus there’s a pair of kids’ rocking chairs (originally found at a garage sale). They were reupholstered and donated by her in-house upholstery instructor Reid Armstrong.

Naturally, the shop owner herself always revamps at least one chair for the auction.

This year, she took a level 2 upholstery class, and transformed a vintage, solid wood arm chair with pink velvet upholstery into a more contemporary piece – like nothing she’s done before.

“In the past, it’s always been white and French inspired. But this year, it’s black, herring bone, and masculine,” she said.

The metamorphisis took six hours in total, but Thachuk said she was so pleased with the results, that

instead of selling the chair in her store she opted to donate it to the fundraiser, instead.

“It was an old chair that was pink and ugly. I stripped it down and redid it, and I still have a bruise to prove it,” she said, hoping it will fetch a few hundred at auction.

“This event allows anyone who is creative to give back in whatever they’re good at,” she said.

There are 11 silent and live auction items, including chairs and other pieces of furniture, as well as eight “loaded” gift baskets – each representative of the Langley City business that donated it.

“It’s win-win-win for the person who donates, the person who is bidding and winning the item, and then in the end the family that benefits directly from the money raised,” Thachuk said.

Tickets are $10 and available online through the event’s Facebook page, at her McBurney Plaza store, or at the door tonight. The Passionate Home is located at 20528 Fraser Hwy. Chairs + More for Charity is being held this evening (Thursday, Nov. 5), from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

“Last year, people wanted to stay and make more of an event out of it,” Thachuk said.

Realizing this, she decided to host it back in her own store, and add beverages, food, and live music for more of a festive feel.

The big bonus, she said, is that she has a large enough store to hold the growing event, and she and her team spent two days decorating the space for Christmas – an apt theme for the Christmas bureau event.

COMEDY

CARES cat shelter hosts pub night HEATHER COLPITTS

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The comedy troupe Laughter Zone 101 will perform at a fundraiser for the CARES cat shelter Nov. 21.

The Canadian Animal Rescue and Extended Shelter is based in Milner and started in the early 1980s to help feral, unwanted or sick cats.

“We have grown to a dedicated group of approximately 60 people, mostly volunteers and

Affinity™ Series - YP9C Gas Furnace

office staff who maintain the shelter, providing love, care, medication, vet services, and adoption services for up to 100 unwanted or abandoned cats,” said Clive Ellis, the chair of the fundraising committee.

To help fund the efforts of this no-kill shelter group, the public is invited to an evening out at Jimy Mac’s Pub, 19935 96th Ave., starting at 6 p.m.

The evening features the comedy, a silent auction, 50/50 draws, and a burger and drink

dinner for $25.

Tickets are available by contacting Ellis at 604-533-4007 or fundraiser@carescatshelter. com.

The event is not open to minors.

Cats that aren’t adopted out spend their lives at the shelter, cared for by volunteers.

“We operate a TNR Program (trap, neuter and release) which helps regulate and hopefully reduce the amount of unwanted and/or abandoned kitties,” Ellis added.

Brits arrive: Drivers of British cars of various makes and models parked at the Fox and Fiddle on the Langley Bypass on Sunday afternoon, after completing the Old English Car Club’s London to Brighton Commemorative Run that started at the east Maple Ridge A&W. Participants travelled through rural Maple Ridge, Mission, and Abbotsford before traversing through Langley en route to their final destination. The annual car rally was profiled in the Oct. 29 Langley Advance [Brits will roll into Langley].

ocal knitter Diana Twiss was frustrated with her options in wool about 15 years ago.

She connected with the Langley Weavers’ and Spinners’ Guild and was quickly on her way to creating custom, hand-spun yarns.

“I’m a knitter and I was unhappy with the kinds of fibre, the yarns, available.”

Twiss said. “I just wanted to make my own. I was curious what it meant to make my own.”

Now, Twiss will have her yarn, as well as some of the things she makes from it, on sale at the annual guild show known as the Beyond Fibre Artisans’ Sale Nov. 7 and 8.

Gateway of Hope Works to End Homelessness

Motorization to siMplify your life

We hear a lot these days about the issues surrounding homelessness, and it is easy to read the headlines and come away feeling that nothing positive is being achieved. Yet, a difference is being made, albeit quietly and behind the scenes, right here in Langley.

Jim Coggles, Executive Director of the Gateway of Hope, explains; “Over the last two years, the Gateway of Hope helped over 100 men and women move forward from our emergency shelter and supported transitional housing into permanent housing within the community. Some were with us a few months; others for up to two years. But with our help and the involvement of a number of important community partners, these people were able to move from homelessness to home.

“Even though we are proud of those amazing success stories, we know that homelessness is a complex, organic, and often cyclical social issue.

While some are being helped today, sadly others are sliding into homelessness for a variety of reasons such as struggles with addiction, mental health issues and social breakdowns. Some are young people, while a growing number are coming into homelessness mid-life.”

The good news is that for anyone who comes to the Gateway of Hope and genuinely wants to put homelessness behind them, there is an abundance of services and support to help them.

At Gateway, they will find help and hope.

“It may take the person a few tries on the journey to get well,” says Coggles, “and some disappointments along the way. But it’s always possible. We never give up on anyone. Our aim is to help people in an intentional way, to assist them to move forward, knowing that homelessness is almost always a symptom of

much deeper problems in people’s lives. So until they can properly deal with the underlying causes or issues, homelessness will continue to be a vicious cycle. “ Not everyone who comes to the Gateway of Hope is in that place where they are ready to accept the full range of help that we offer. We need to respect that. We can, however, always start with a hot meal and meaningful conversation, giving dignity and rebuilding hope however we can.

What we do works. Lives are being changed.

People are moving out of homelessness. But we need your continued financial help to keep doing it. Almost 35% of our operating budget comes from financial support from the community.

Without it we’d really struggle to do what we do.

So please consider supporting our Christmas campaign this year.

Help us to end homelessness in the lives of hundreds more!

LANGLEY CITY

Legion Branch 21 hosts services at Douglas Park Langley City’s legion organizes Wednesday’s Remembrance Day .

RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com

A change to the office of the Royal Canadian Legion Langley Branch 21 won’t prevent the annual honouring of veterans through a local ceremony.

While the branch may have moved, this year’s Remembrance Day ceremony is business as usual, said branch manager secretary, Heather Erikson.

Langley Advance files

Veterans, their families, first responders, and the public will gather around the cenotaph in Douglas Park Wednesday morning.

“It’s probably one of the most moving ceremonies that the Legions do,” Erikson said of Remembrance Day events.

The annual parade will muster at 10 a.m. in the alley behind the former Legion office between Fraser Highway and 56th Avenue, off 206th Street or Salt Lane.

Led by the colour party, the parade will include veterans and first responders on the march to the cenotaph in Douglas Park commencing at 10:25 a.m.

Erikson noted the importance of the ceremony is, “So that we can keep the memories alive of those who have fallen. We can give back to our veterans, their families and our community.”

The ceremony at the park usually begins a few minutes before the observation of two minutes of silence at 11 a.m.

The Fraser Blues formation flying team will pass over at about 11:05 a.m.

Presentations and laying of wreaths conclude by noon when attendees are welcome to take part in a event at the Langley Masonic Hall on Fraser Highway.

“It starts after the ceremony in Douglas Park,” said Erikson.

“There will be entertainment and a few refreshments.”

The Langley Legion Branch 21 is still very active in the community from the new office at 20681 56th Ave. (See story about the changes on A21.)

Scrivens felt that patriotism significantly when he carried the casket of Master Cpl. Colin Bason, a fellow member of the Royal Westminster unit, along the stretch of the local Highway of Heroes.

“It was awesome, seeing all the people there,” he said. “It helps.”

While not a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Scrivens is grateful for the work that legions do.

“The Legion helped me and I don’t think I can ever thank them enough.”

Scrivens received money from the poppy fund when his wife had cancer and the couple’s son was very young. The price for his wife’s medication was covered by that generosity.

Although uncertain exactly how he will spend this Remembrance Day, the service of those like Scrivens contributes to the pride of many Canadians.

COMMUNITY

Langley’s branch undergoes transformation Langley’s legion has evolved to a new kind of branch.

HEATHER COLPITTS hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Royal Canadian Legion Langley Branch is not closed but has changed how it operates and where it’s located.

The branch moved to 20681 56th Ave., down the road from its former location at 20570 56th Ave. which was about 5,200 square feet.

The branch had been at that location since selling its original 12,000 square foot building on Eastleigh Crescent in 2010. It was built in 1947.

The 206th Street location is now a service branch,

meaning no lounge but it will continue to provide services to veterans, and programs for the community such as scholarships.

The branch has more than 300 members but about 50 members used the lounge and Legion command (head office) closed it to cut expenses.

Branch president Shirley Blair initially went to the legion to get out of the house and meet people, adding a legion branch is like family.

“We love our vets and we love serving our vets,” she said.

Langley isn’t the only branch struggling.

As part of the changes, the branch is getting assistance from Karen Kuzek, a volunteer branch advisory representative based out of the legion command. She works with branches to make them self-sustaining.

“We work with them at

There’s no set timeline

for her work here but she said she will remain “until

they don’t need me anymore.”

Kuzek, who is also a deputy zone commander for the area from Langley to Hope, said the Langley branch is still open and working, just that the lounge was closed.

“A legion is not defined by a lounge,” she commented.

Branch 21 has a dedicated service officer to help veterans with health needs, benefits, Veterans Affairs and other programs.

Blair said that can be everything from benefits to not having enough groceries or needing a hearing aid.

Langley Legion programs include: Veterans Transition Program, certified service dogs for PTSD, BCIT Legion Military Skills Conversion, support for George Derby Residential Care Centre and Langley

Lodge, and school bursaries and athletics.

The branch will continue to run its school poster and literary contests, running for 50 years to help students understand Remembrance.

Any Canadian citizen can be a member of the legion.

The cenotaph outside the old branch will be stored by the City which worked with the legion when making a cenotaph at Douglas Park a few years ago. The nearby Masonic Lodge has kindly offered its space for social functions, Blair added.

Branch elections come up in December. Blair would like to see the branch regain some of its previous amenities.

“I’m hoping that this is a temporary unit for us… but if it isn’t, then we still are there to serve our vets and community,” she said.

Fort service draws crowds Several thousand are expected at the Village’s ceremony.

RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com

It was 1999 when the Fort Langley Remembrance Day services resumed after several years absence.

Since that time, thousands have come to honour those who served to protect their country, region, community, family, and friends at the annual celebration.

Organizer Warren Sommer noted the importance of involving a broad spectrum of local residents in the event including youth.

“I think it’s important to keep doing it [holding Remembrance Day ceremonies] throughout the Langleys so that it is accessible to everyone in the community,” he said.

The parade procession will muster at about 10 a.m. on Wednesday at the west end of the Fort Langley Cemetery near the intersection of St. Andrew’s and Nash Streets.

Langley Advance files

A wide range of residents take part in the Fort Langley Remembrance Day celebration.

Led by a piper and the colour party, the parade will commence at about 10:25 a.m. and will include veterans, members of clergy, first responders, cadets, elected officials, Kwantlen First Nation elders, and members of Scouts and Girl Guides.

“First Nation people are part of the Canadian mosaic,” noted Sommer.

“Many First Nation people... joined their fellow citizens to take up arms in defence of the country and our shared values.”

The parade will move through the cemetery and

The service will start at the cenotaph at 10:40 a.m. and will include two minutes of silence, a fly-past by the Fraser Blues formation flying team, and the laying of wreaths.

“If we don’t remember what happened and what continues to happen... we’re doomed to repeat it,” Sommers said.

The Remembrance Day service will be followed by hot beverages and refreshments at St. Andrew’s United Church and St. George’s Anglican Church.

LEGIONS

Remember with a poppy Buying poppies here helps legion efforts locally.

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.

This is the Royal Canadian Legion’s only national campaign to raise money for local branches

to provide services to veterans. The poppies also serve as public statements of remembrance of those who fought for this country.

Poppies are available by donation, pins are $3, and bracelets are $2.

Last year the Langley branch raised $106,000 in the poppy campaign.

The amount for Aldergrove was in the neighbourhood of $30,000.

The Aldergrove Branch 261 and the Langley Branch 21 could use some

help.

Members interested in helping with the poppies in Langley can contact the poppy chair office at 604534-3619.

In Aldergrove volunteers can call Madeline Roach at 604-856-5473.

The funds not only help veterans but also care facilities where veterans live.

The local legion branches also help the transition house, and service dog programs as well as community causes.

Residents rally behind first purse fundraiser Township Mayor Jack Froese’s wife Debbie shared cancer battle.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

She’s the better half of Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese – and a whole lot more.

Debbie Froese is a mom to three grown children – a son and two daughters – a grandma to eight, and a cancer survivor.

Debbie’s battle with the disease is why she and husband Jack lent their support to the Power of the Purse fundraiser at Thunderbird Show Park on a dark and rainy Sunday afternoon.

Proceeds from the sale of new and gently used purses, as well as a silent and live auction, are earmarked for the BC Cancer Foundation to raise funds and awareness in the battle against women’s cancers.

The sold-out community event is close to Debbie’s heart.

That’s because it’s been just two years since Debbie had her final chemotherapy treatment in her battle with Stage 4 lymphoma.

“Actually, at the end of October, was my last chemo, so it’s officially just two years,” Debbie told the Langley Advance during the fundraiser.

A division of

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese had a group hug with his wife Debbie and Power of the Purse organizer Darla Bracklow at Thunderbird Show Park on Nov. 1. The purse sale and silent and live auction was a fund-and-awareness-raiser for the BC Cancer Foundation in the battle against women’s cancer.

But just a year ago, she had another cancer scare, after being diagnosed with Stage 1 uterine cancer, a malignant tumour that starts in the cells of the uterus.

“That one was no chemo, no radiation, which was very nice,” she shared.

Debbie said her initial cancer battle was “very scary.”

“The word ‘cancer’ is very scary,” Debbie said.

“Alarming” was a fitting word in Debbie’s case, after she woke up in the middle of the night with chest pain.

“I was thinking I was having a heart attack,” she recalled. “I thought ‘I’m too young to be having a heart attack!’ They believe it was because the tumour was on my spine, it was the nerves on my spine that was ricocheting through my chest.”

Debbie said through every stage she went through during her cancer journey, from being diagnosed at Langley Memorial Hospital, to the treatment she received at Abbotsford Regional, the doctors and staff at both hospitals were “wonderful.”

“The doctor at the emergency, she just got things rolling,” Debbie said. “She was pretty sure that it was a cancer of some kind because she saw a tumour.”

Today, Debbie said she feels very blessed.

“I had support all across the board,” Debbie said.

Regarding Power of the Purse, Debbie said the goal is not only raising funds but also awareness.

“We know how much technology has come along,” Debbie said.

Power of the Purse was the vision of breast cancer survivor Darla Bracklow, 63, who planned a purse swap in her co-op at Pioneer Park as something fun to do with friends.

It evolved into Sunday’s wildly successful charity event, with a goal of raising $5,000 or more.

Scanning the room, Bracklow

Bracklow was diagnosed with breast cancer at 42, but because the cancer was still in its early stages and detected early, she only needed minimal treatments, and 21 years have passed since her diagnosis.

EDUCATION

LFAS spotlights Marr’s war efforts

Fort Langley offers schools a local history lesson in its streets.

Langley Fine Arts School has used technology to teach local history about the First World War. Teacher Emilie Colbourne’s Grade 5 class made Honouring Our Own, a movie about Langley’s Dr. B.B. Marr and his contribution honouring fallen soldiers. It was only finished right before Remembrance Day 2014. There wasn’t an opportunity to show the public, until now.

“His legacy is still evident today in Fort Langley, but not many people know his story,” she said.

Colbourne will also take this year’s students to learn more on local history around the village.

“I will take my new class to the cenotaph in Fort Langley this Friday so that they too can learn the stories and history of their community,” she added.

Dancers say ‘Aloha’ in Fort Langley A local Polynesian dance group has a weekend show.

RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com

Rain is predicted for Saturday, but in Fort Langley a little bit of sun is expected on the stage of the Chief Sepass Theatre at the recital put on by Carol’s Polynesian Dance Studio.

Carol Kapolimehanamakamae Antonsen runs the studio which celebrates Polynesian cultures through song and dance from Hawaii, Tahiti, and New Zealand.

“We do it every two years,” said Antonsen of the show going for a decade.

She has been teaching for 16 years and noted it’s a culture-based education as much as it is about the dance. Students learn about geography, customs, and some of the language.

“They [students] have to know what every song is about,” Antonsen noted.

“The costumes are very specific.”

With 30 people performing in Saturday’s show at 2 p.m. at the Chief Sepass Theatre at 9066 Trattle St., Antonsen is busy making preparations.

“The youngest is four and the oldest is early 60s, so it is all ages,” she said.

Dancers [left] Alison ‘Auli’i Kerr and Lea Kulia Asayo Though Hawaii is more than 4,300 kilometres from Antonsen’s Aldergrove studio, she connects with her teacher in the Aloha State on a regular basis.

“Our whole mission statement is to preserve the

culture as best as possible,” she said.

Antonsen and her students are part of a larger group that ensures the ongoing education of the Polynesian culture outside of Hawaii. The focus of the group is on Hawaiian culture first and foremost, but the recital on Saturday will also have a strong Tahitian segment.

“It will be a really good taste of culture,” she said.

“A little warmth and culture on a dreary day.”

Chestnuts roasting… are high fibre and low fat amidst the fallen autumn leaves, and never thought twice about them. Now I have a completely different outlook.

I purchase chestnuts fresh from the local supermarket when they’re in season, on a regular basis.

When selecting them, choose ones that feel heavy and dense for their size, and have a shiny outer brown shell that does not collapse when pushed upon. They will keep at room temperature in a cool dark area for about a week, and for

Cooking in Langley

I can hardly believe that it was only 10 years ago that I first tried roasted chestnuts.

It was on a cold winter afternoon while strolling past all of the decorative lights and stores on Robson Street. We came across a street vendor selling these heated little goodies. They were a comforting buttery nut with a flavour uniquely their own, still encased in their shell but scored to ease the task of peeling. I couldn’t have found anything better at the time. Grasping a warm paper sack of roasted chestnuts while the crisp winter air surrounded us was reminiscent of a classic Christmas story.

As a child, I always came across chestnuts scattered on the ground

approximately one month in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.

Alternatively, they can also be frozen for up to six months.

Purchasing them from a reputable supplier is recomCHEF DEZ mended if you are unfamiliar with chestnuts, as there is a wild variety named “horse chestnuts” that are inedible.

Preparing them for roasting is a bit tedious but well worth the effort.

While your oven is preheating to 425F degrees, score the brown shell with a sharp knife. Place the

flat side of the chestnut down on a cutting board and cut an “x” shape carefully on the rounded side facing upwards. I find that a fine-toothed serrated knife works best.

Keeping the shell on while cooking is important for holding in their warmth upon serving. Seal them with a few tablespoons of water in aluminum foil and roast for approximately 50 minutes.

Be careful of the escaping hot steam when unwrapping them and serve immediately.

Alternatively, place approximately eight of the scored chestnuts in a bowl and microwave for approximately one to one and a half minutes. The shelling process afterwards is not only made easier

by cooking them, but also adds to the nostalgic amusement of eating this wonderful treat.

Chestnuts are not similar to others in the nut family, as they are more perishable and their fat content is significantly less.

With only two or three grams of fat per 100g, chestnuts weigh in far less than other nuts that may contain upwards of 30 to 70 grams of fat per 100g. Chestnuts also have approximately one third of the calories of other nuts and are a much greater source of dietary fibre.

But their starchier content contributes to a much higher carbohydrate count compared to other nuts.

Make this wonderfully historic treat part of your holiday season, and you

may catch yourself humming “chestnuts roasting on an open fire...”.

Dear Chef Dez:

I see that the local grocery store is selling fresh chestnuts again in the produce section. What could I do with these if I were to buy some?

Hellen S., Chilliwack Dear Hellen:

There are many recipes that one could use chestnuts in. Roasting is a common method. They can be added to soups, salads, and are a great addition to stuffings for a holiday meal. Chestnut puree is also often used in desserts.

A:

A:

Every martial arts school, system or style has its own syllabus and series of technical requirements which need to be met in order to advance through their belt structure. Because schools differ radically in those requirements, it is unfair to compare one system or style to another.

Belts usually begin from the lightest color (white) through to the darkest color (black).

The colored belts in between are a guide to the practitioner as to the progress of their journey between the two points. At a black belt level, you simply enter a new beginning, and a new learning phase. It is not the end of the journey by any means – simply the beginning of a new one.

Before a buyer goes into the showhomes they should be armed with plenty of information about the nature of this type of purchase. I have a list of 20 points to consider – here’s the first one on the list!

Gardening in Langley

Berry options are year-round Native berry-producing trees and shrubs are among the most beautiful, useful and entertaining plants you can have in a garden.

Once birds arrive to feed on them, they’ll often stay to do pest control – and in unusually long dry summers ANNE the extra food can actually save their lives.

First of the year is Indian Plum (Oemleria cerasiformis) which leafs out at the beginning of March. Even before the fresh, green leaves are full-size, multiple clusters of drooping, white tubular flowers open.

The ink black berries ripen before anything else and are eaten faster, too.

Another native beauty is salal (Gaultheria shallon).

This can easily be grown in the Lower Mainland and has a year-round presence since it’s evergreen and has pretty clusters of white bell-shaped flowers.

The blue-black berries that follow in late summer can be turned into jams or jellies if the birds don’t get there first.

The red elderberry (Sorbus racemosa) has a spectacular spring presence with flat clusters of lacy white flowers followed by fiery clusters of red berries. By summer’s end, birds have stripped the lot.

They’re reputed to be poisonous for people.

As June begins, salmonberries are opening beautiful, single pink flowers which are quickly followed by deep red juicy raspberry-like berries.

Birds gorge on the few that the bears leave behind.

At the same time, the white flowers of thimbleberries quickly develop into mid-red, rather dry berries which don’t

last long in bear country. You have to value the immense wildlife value of salmonberries and thimbleberries to tolerate them in a hedge.

Salmonberries have some deterrent value because of their MARRISON prickles, but both have wandering invasive roots like raspberries. Just like raspberries, thimbleberries and salmonberries are difficult to corral in one place and it’s very hard work to dig them up.

Another useful addition to a

low-stemmed version.

Then there’s the mountain ash (rowan tree).

There are dwarf native ones, but the European rowans are also fully entrenched in B.C. Birds love the berries, especially when the fruit ferments while still on the tree.

Huge numbers of birds congregate in the trees gorging on rowan berries and after eating don’t fly too well and tend to crash into windows. Most survive because after partying, they can’t fly very fast either.

European rowans are just one of the plant immigrants finding a welcome from wildlife in B.C. If it’s food and tastes good birds and animals will eat it.

native plant hedge is the redstemmed dogwood. The native one is Cornus stolonifera, but the kind sold in garden centres is usually Cornus siberica. All kinds produce usually white berries which birds love to eat in late summer.

It’s a three-season plant with brilliantly red stems in winter, flat heads of lacy white flowers in spring and eye-catching white berries in summer. It’s very easy to grow.

There’s also a yel-

The Himalayan blackberry is a notorious example.

It’s an aggressive pest, but its fruit is delicious, nutritious and loved by birds, bears and humans. In fall, I love to pick from the Himalayan blackberry plants that escaped me in spring.

The rest of the year I try resolutely to exterminate them.

Ten-month-old Kristin Levy of Surrey (right), two-year-old Brynne Eder of Murrayville (bottom right inset), and Liz, Fynn, and Kyle Friday (a.k.a. the Pumpkin family) of Ladner were among those who took part in Willowbrook’s Trick or Treat Parade. The event was open to kids up to 12 years old, and for a $2 registration fee (with all proceeds going to the Langley School District Foundation) they were able to collect treats for most of the merchants. Next up at Willowbrook is the Rotary Club Wine Fest Nov. 7, and a charity shopping night Nov. 17 with prizes, giveaways and Santa photos.

history

Look back through the files of the Langley Advance.

Eighty Years Ago October 31, 1935

ˠ Council was faced with three claims of sheep killing dogs.

Settlements were withheld while an attempt was made to determine dog owners. ˠ A B.C. Electric survey estimated that Langley Prairie could be lit adequately with 250watt street lights at a cost of $320 per year. ˠ A resident appeared before council to ask permission to kill porcupines. He was referred to the game warden.

Sixty Years Ago

November 3, 1955 ˠ Council protested a request of the provincial assessors to raise land assessments of 60 per cent of the current sales value of property.

The assessment raise would mean increases of about 50 per cent for large farms, 75 per cent on small holdings, and 100 per cent on lots. ˠ Hospitality of the Langley RCMP was offered to two New Westminster boys, aged 12 and 13, after they ran away from home.

The older boy having lost his after-school job, feared his parents would halt his navy career plans.

Forty Years Ago October 30, 1975

ˠ Langley Arts Council wanted local government backing for a community theatre in City Park.

LangleySPORTS THURSDAY, November 5, 2015 | Page A35 AMATEUR BOXING

Heavy hitters highlight Golden Gloves Two of the top heavyweights in B.C. are scheduled to trade leather on Friday.

“The rich tradition of the Golden Gloves is still alive and well in the amateur boxing world,” said Langley City Boxing manager Dave Allison, as he looks ahead to Friday’s event inside the Coast Hotel’s ballroom.

The Nov. 6 event will showcase “some of the best fighters in B.C.,” Allison said.

A much anticipated bout will be the rematch between Samuel Moses and Ken Huber.

B.C. heavyweight and cruiserweight titleholder Ken Huber (black trunks ) is slated to rematch with Samuel Moses (red trunks) at the B.C. Golden Gloves at the Coast Hotel ballroom on Friday.

Moses, of Vancouver’s Sargeant’s Boxing, is B.C.’s top ranked boxer in two divisions: cruiserweight and heavyweight.

JUNIOR A HOCKEY

Rivermen back on track Langley had a perfect weekend.

TROY LANDREVILLE sports@langleyadvance.com

What a difference a weekend makes for the Langley Rivermen.

Going into Friday’s home game against the Coquitlam Express, the Rivermen were losers of three of their past four games.

But after a 6-3 win over the Express at the Langley Events Centre and a 5-2 triumph over the Surrey Eagles Sunday afternoon at the LEC, Langley’s junior As have a very respectable 11-6 record,

good for third in the B.C. Hockey League’s Mainland Division, one point back of the second place Chilliwack Chiefs and three behind the front running Wenatchee Wild.

“I thought we played really well [over the weekend],” Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson said.

“The biggest difference was, we got the bounces that we didn’t get the previous week.

We had good energy and played with enthusiasm and got results for it.”

On Friday, the Rivermen led 4-1 after the first period before the Express scored twice in the second frame to narrow the margin to 4-3. continued on page A36…

He will be taking on Kamloops’ Huber, who holds both the B.C. cruiserweight and heavyweight titles.

Huber was on his way to the pro ranks until he was upset

by Samuel a month ago in a non-title bout Oct. 3 at the B.C. Silver Gloves.

Huber was matched against the up-and-coming Samuel and lost a four-round decision.

“There is a lot at stake for Huber who is one of B.C.’s most popular boxers,” Allison said. “A win would put him back on track to turning pro in 2016.”

Langley’s Amanda Pak will face former Canadian champion Rosallia Calla of North Burnaby Boxing in a 118-pound contest.

“Both boxers have been matched before and for one reason or another have not fought,” said Allison, noting that Calla won the Canadian WBC championship in 2013 and “is a veteran of the ring.”

City Boxing’s Scott Woodward will face Cody Sahlstrom of Victoria’s Island MMA in a 140pound division match.

Also from Victoria, twin brothers Paul and Peter Lopez will be in action.

“The Lopez twins have made an impression over the last couple of years and will be looking to add a Golden Gloves to their trophy chest,” Allison said. “At just 20, the two welterweights are definitely in the top prospects list and both will be tested at this year’s Golden Gloves.”

Former B.C. champion, White Rock’s Josh Wright of Ocean City Boxing, “will take on one of the Lopez brothers, the other will face Qaeir Hamid of Vancouver’s Eastside Boxing,” Allison reported.

There will be 10 bouts expected on the card at the Coast Hotel, located next door to Cascades Casino, 20393 Fraser Hwy. The first bout gets underway at 7:30 p.m. with doors opening at 7. There is free parking and a bar and concession.

Tickets at the door are $30 each, and kids 12 and under are admitted free of charge.

Rivermen will be busy ‌continued from page A37

But unanswered goals from Logan Mick and Justin Fregona (his second of the night to go with two assists) sealed the deal for the Rivermen.

Sunday versus Surrey, another strong third period that saw the Rivermen score the only two goals turned a tenuous 3-2 lead into a comfortable 5-2 advantage.

Justin Szeto and John Schuldt found the net in the final frame for the Rivermen.

Langley’s Matthew Graham was a terror on special teams, scoring power play and shorthanded goals in the victory.

Looking ahead, the Rivermen play three games in as many days, starting tonight (Nov. 5) when they host Surrey at the LEC. Game time is 7:15 p.m.

Then, on Friday, the ’Men take a trip east to Chilliwack to play the Chiefs at Prospera Centre.

The Rivermen finish their busy stretch Saturday at the LEC, where will host the Salmon Arm Silverbacks at 6 p.m.

Moving forward, the Rivermen are keeping an even keel. “You can’t get too excited about past results,� Henderson said. “You look around the league, and any team can win on any given night. You have to come prepared the same way, each game.�

Regarding the tough schedule, Henderson said, “It’s tough on the body. We’re really lucky that our athletic therapist [Brayden Tonogai] is one of the best in the business. I give him all the credit in the world to get these guys healthy and ready to play.�

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: KMC-FACILITIES- 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 facilities. Facilities include pump stations, valve stations, terminals, tank farms and office/maintenance facilities. All facilities are fenced, secure compounds not accessible to the general public. The facilities are located in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Darfield, McLure, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Burnaby 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 pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, girdling, geotextile fabric, 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.

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), diuron (Diurex 80 WDG), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), imazapyr (Arsenal), indaziflam (Esplanade SC), 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 at: http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_facilities_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”
