MP pushes for Jose’s freedom Langley-Aldergrove’s MP has asked the minister of immigration to help Jose Figueroa remain in Canada.

Mark Warawa has asked John McCallum for reconsideration of Figueroa’s application to stay in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. Figueroa has spent more than two years in a Walnut Grove church, seeking sanctuary from a deportation order. He was found inadmissible to Canada in 2013 because of past involvement with El Salvador’s FMLN political party.

“To be clear, Mr. Figueroa has never posed a threat to Canada,” Warawa wrote in his letter.

The letter was sent to McCallum, as well as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale.

CHARITY

Wine Fest was million dollar night The 26th annual wine fest pushed the cumulative total raised to a milestone.

HEATHER COLPITTS hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Rotary Club of Langley Central is raising a glass to everyone who attended the 26th annual Fraser Valley Wine Festival.

Saturday evening’s attendees as well as everyone who has ever purchased a ticket to the club’s annual fundraiser have allowed the club to raise $1 million for charities and causes.

The final tallies are still being done, but the club knows it has hit the milestone.

And the Nov. 7 event was sold out, meaning hundreds of people gathered to sample an array of wines and beverages as well as enjoy gourmet goodies and entertainment.

The wine fest now pulls in participation from around the Lower Mainland. Coquitlam’s Doris Mars, Karen Robins of Maple Ridge and Port Moody resident Kathy Podolski came to Langley for the event.

In addition to enjoying a fun night out, they came for other reasons, including the casual atmosphere where there’s people in everything from bling to blue jeans.

“It’s a good variety of people,” said Podolski.

Coquitlam’s Doris Mars, Karen Robins of Maple Ridge and Port Moody resident Kathy Podolski came to the Fraser Valley Wine Festival Nov. 7.

It included a dress up photo booth by Dang Good Photos. (Lower right) BDO’s Ben Johnson and Michelle Sanghera sold 50/50 tickets.

Mars looked forward to trying the local wines.

“What a night,” said Dorothy McKim, president of the Rotary Club of Langley Central.

“Record crowds made for a festive feeling in Willowbrook Shopping Centre. The work that the wine festival committee put into this event resulted in a first class evening.”

Guests sampled more than 200 wines from around the world with several local wineries taking part again this year.

The wines were complemented by food from a dozen Langley restaurants.

“Nobody left the event hungry,” said Rotarian Calla Krause.

All the effort allows Rotary to support various causes.

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.

Crash demolishes power pole in Langley City A Tuesday morning crash may have been caused by a medical condition, the Langley RCMP say.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A man survived a crash that tore through a BC Hydro pole on 208th Street Tuesday morning.

The man was driving north on 208th Street near 45th Avenue when he suddenly left the road, veering off to the east, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The driver crashed through a power pole, then a bus stop with his Escalade SUV.

The vehicle finally came to rest after going through a fence and ending up in a residential backyard, said Largy.

Alcohol was not involved in the crash, but police believe the driver may have suffered a medical event.

He was taken to Langley Memorial Hospital and was checked out, and was not seriously hurt by the incident. His vehicle was not so lucky.

Ants are farmed, bananas destined for the landfill are fed to pigs, and goats are milked for hand-crafted cheeses. All this, and then some, were discovered on the Township of Langley’s annual farm tour in late October.

With a theme of innovation in agriculture, stops on the tour included the unique, forward-thinking activities happening locally.

The first stop was Enterra Feeds where black soldier ants are creating new sources of fertilizer as well as feed. CEO Brad Marchant explained how pre-consumer waste food is fed to the indigenous insects to “take food and remake food.”

“We’re making a replacement for fish meal, chicken meal, and soybean meal,” Marchant said. “It’s about 40 percent protein and 40 percent fat.”

While the Enterra feeds are

not yet available in Canada, they are being used south of the border. Enterra fertilizer is sold in Canada.

A stop at Milner Valley Cheese included tastings of a range of goat cheese and gelato and a tour of the goat dairy.

“We are very small scale, family run agriculture,” said co-owner Glenn Smith.

Ronda Payne/Langley Advance

Brad Marchant, CEO of Enterra Feeds, talks about the benefits of the black soldier fly.

As fourth generation farmers, Smith and his wife Maryanne knew they had to create something unique to keep the farm alive.

“We’ve had people drive out from West Van for our

cheese,” Smith said.

Over lunch, innovation was discussed in terms of how to get more non-farmers involved in farming. Chris Bodnar of Close to Home Organics spoke and noted that while there is a lot of interest, there is not a lot of understanding.

“I’ve met a lot of people along the way who’ve given it [farming] a try and stepped back from it,” he said.

“There are barriers that make it difficult to get into agriculture.”

Bodnar suggested a new model is needed to protect farmland and encourage co-operatives to combat those challenges.

The final stop of the tour was at Aldergrove’s Laurica Farm where co-owner Cathy Finley explained how 70 per cent of what is seen on the farm in terms of structures is created from reclaimed materials.

“You can run a farm off reclaimed materials,” she said.

Even the heritage pigs are fed reclaimed food.

“What would go to the land fill is fed to the pigs,” Finley noted. “They get no commercially created feed at all.”

The Fraser Blues are a familiar sight to thousands of Langley residents, especially those who attend any annual Remembrance Day ceremonies.

For the past 15 years, without fail, a flight of between eight and four Navion aircraft have flown past local cenotaphs.

Group leader George Miller and fellow pilots Guy Miller, Ray Roussey, and Clive Barratt were up again this Nov. 11, flying over six cenotaphs from Abbotsford to Surrey, including three in Langley.

“We have not missed a Remembrance Day yet,” said Miller, despite ugly flying weather some years.

Miller has personal reasons for wanting to keep going up each and every year.

“I owe a lot of remembrance to the many friends that were killed in the military, that I flew with,” Miller said.

A Royal Canadian Air Force pilot for 35 years, Miller was just an 18-year-old living in Ottawa when he signed up. He had never even been on board a plane as a passenger when he announced to the recruiters that he wanted to be a pilot.

But soon Miller was at the controls of an aircraft, and within a few years he was living in Germany at a Canadian air base.

It was the height of the Cold War, and NATO was frantically arming itself against the Soviet threat.

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

George Miller readied his Navion for a practice run this week.

That meant getting planes in the air and pilots in those planes, whether they were ready or not.

“During the tenure of the F-86 Sabre, we had 111 pilots killed,” said Miller.

The 1950s-era F-86 was replaced by the very fast Starfighter, on which Miller spent three tours.

Canada lost 37 pilots to Starfighter crashes.

Miller described it as a “missile with a man in it.”

It was fast and designed to operate at low altitudes, so any engine failure meant the pilot had to bail out immediately.

In addition to the fear of the Soviets, the attitude of daredevil flying had carried over from the Second World War, Miller said. There were fewer safety concerns by far in those days than there are now, and that led to the deaths of pilots.

“My thoughts go specifically to certain people,” Miller said.

One of those is Ronald “Rolly” Rolston, who was killed in a Starfighter crash in 1957.

Rolston had been in the squadron a year and was a year younger than Miller. The 22-year-old had been flying with a squadron doing training in Rabat, in Morocco, over the Atlantic coast. continued on page A6…

When the squadron returned to Zweibrucken in Germany, they left some beautiful weather and returned to foul conditions.

Rolston was scheduled to fly first thing the day following his return, without any training to acclimate to the different conditions, Miller said.

“Right after takeoff, something happened to him,” Miller said.

The Starfighter’s landing gear stuck, and while trying to deal with that, Rolston’s plane crashed into the ground.

“It was such a needless death,” Miller said. “He was so young.”

Ralston left behind a wife, Anne, and a young daughter, Lorraine.

“It seemed like almost every week we were going to a funeral,” said Miller.

In addition to attending the funerals

of friends and colleagues, the air crews had to deal with the knowledge that their families were living in base housing – and that if a nuclear war broke out, the bases would be among the first targets.

“Those were tense times,” Miller said.

Attitudes towards preparedness, training, and safety changed over the next few years. Miller said that today, a rate of fatal crashes like the one suffered early in the Cold War would get a squadron shut down.

After years with the RCAF, including time flying with the Snowbirds, Miller was the manager of the Langley Regional Airport when he first joined a local flypast group that was training to head out to the local cenotaphs on Remembrance Day. That was 15 years ago. The group would later be dubbed the Langley

Reds, and for more than a decade has been known as the Fraser Blues. The group, a mixture of former military and civilian pilots, all with extensive experience, still trains together in close-formation flying and does a few air shows or special events every year.

This year, they will visit six locations: at 10:45 a.m., an Army, Navy, and Air Force Veterans Club on Mt. Lehman Road, at 10:56 the Aldergrove Legion and cenotaph, at 11 a.m. the Fort Langley cenotaph, at 11:05 the Langley cenotaph, and at 11:12 the Cloverdale ceremony, finishing past a ceremony in Port Kells.

To hit their cues they’ll have to be accurate on timing and navigation.

Miller said he’s confident the group will do well.

“Because the pilots are so capable, I don’t worry about them,” he said.

Sean Thomas will be bound for California this weekend thanks to the donation of the use of a jet.

LEGOLAND

Big hand for a boy’s wish The use of a local corporate jet will get a young cancer patient to Legoland this week.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Effective Dates Nov 1st - 30th

A young Lego fan named Sean Thomas will get to visit Legoland thanks to the use of a Langley company’s airplane.

The Martini family has loaned the Starline Windows corporate aircraft to the family of Thomas, a first-grader from Vancouver suffering from leukemia.

Thomas is in palliative care after three rounds of major treatment for leukemia.

The boy, his mother, and his sister will all be flown to Carlsbad, Calif., this Friday.

Thomas will get to spend the weekend in the Legoland theme park before returning to Canada.

The Martini family heard of Thomas’s wish through the family of pilot Ernie Charlton. He and his wife, Tamiko, know the family of a close friend of Thomas.

The Charltons knew of the fundraisers being set up to send Thomas to Legoland, and asked about the use of the jet.

It will be a much easier way for Thomas to fly than going by a commercial airline.

“His condition is so fragile,” said Tamiko Charlton. “Airports a not exactly a great place to be with his immune system.”

This is not the first time the Starline Windows jet has been used for Lower Mainland children.

It also transported a Langley boy to a Shriner’s Hospital in the United States for specialized treatment several years ago.

NOV. 19

Events fill Douglas Day As well as the annual pioneer dinner, there’s a fort event.

The Fort Langley National Historic Site features a mural of the ceremony in 1858 when the Crown colony was created.

The area’s first governor, James Douglas, made the proclamation Nov. 19 in the Big House.

And now the fort will mark Douglas Day with a special evening program starting at 7 p.m. on Nov. 19.

Learn more about the history with author Frances Backhouse, who wrote Once They Were Hats: In Search of the Mighty Beaver.

Backhouse is the author of six books, including Once They Were Hats. Her previous book, Children of the Klondike, won the 2010 City of Victoria Butler Book Prize.

She is also a veteran freelance magazine writer and teaches creative nonfiction at the University of Victoria.

Fort Langley resident Mark Forsythe is the host that evening, and people can enjoy refreshments, music, and a re-enactment of the proclamation of the colony, in addition to the book reading.

Regular admission rates apply.

Frances Backhouse is the guest speaker at a special Nov. 19 event at the Fort Langley National Historic Site.

Pioneers honoured Each year on Nov. 19, some very special people are recognized.

Langley Township and City host the annual Pioneer Banquet to honour those residents.

On Wednesday, hundreds of pioneers and guests gathered at the Langley Events Centre for the annual celebration, where they enjoyed a catered lunch, entertainment, special presentations, and a chance to catch up with friends. Historic site volunteers in costume act as servers.

To be considered a pioneer, a person must be at least 70 years of age and have lived in the Langley community for at least 60 years.

Organizers send out invitations to known pioneers but anyone who qualifies can contact the 604-534-3211 or info@ tol.ca to attend.

The gathering is organized with help from a dedicated volunteer committee and held on the day B.C. was proclaimed a Crown colony. Douglas Day has been recognized in the Township of Langley since the 1920s. The banquet has been held annually since 1946.

have not yet fully recovered from something silly that happened a week and a half ago. You’d think that an extra hour of sleep wouldn’t be something that would require a recovery period.

But when statistics for the past week or so are compiled, they will almost certainly show a spike in car accidents, in-home injuries, and absences from work.

It’s not just the amount of sleep that is the culprit, it’s the massive change in our circadian rhythm.

People who are normally confused by driving (nearly everyone believes they are significantly better than average drivers, which is proof enough that most of us are confused) go through a period of general confusion as their brains try to settle with a new reality.

The new reality we’ve had to deal with over the past week is one in which all the cats and dogs in our lives, not to mention pigs and cows and little children, seem to expect to be fed an hour earlier.

That’s because, unlike us, cats and dogs and pigs and cows – and children too young to understand what the shifting numbers on the microwave mean – aren’t as silly as the rest of us.

Their universe is ruled by their circadian rhythm, a natural 24-hour clock that evolved to help us all to go to sleep at

here are approximately 25,000 Syrian refugees expected to arrive in Canada between now and January.

They will need a great deal of help, and we expect that between the government, churches, and charitable citizens, that help will be available. By and large, Canadians are willing to lend a hand, especially in extraordinary circumstances. B.C. could see a relatively high proportion of the new refugees – Toronto and Vancouver and their suburbs are the most favoured destinations for newcomers to Canada.

The goal of rescuing people from overcrowded refugee camps and war zones is laudable. But when there is a crisis, it is easy to mobilize public opinion and the machinery of government to deal with major problems.

Other problems last for years, and become invisible.

If we can house 25,000 refugees in less than two months, why can’t we find proper housing for Canada’s homeless as well?

In Metro Vancouver, there are more than 2,700 people without any kind of housing. That likely misses more people who are sleeping on couches or in their cars.

Homelessness is a kind of permanent crisis. We see it every day, we walk around the people we see on the streets, tossing a few coins or avoiding eye contact. And every few years, the province or cities will make a new drive to try to end homelessness once and for all, but any improvements tend to be temporary.

Homelessness is not an easy problem to solve, and even with a lot of money thrown at it, it can’t be dealt with in a matter of months. But we don’t believe it’s insurmountable. The vast majority of people on the streets can be housed, and they can be helped to better lives.

This is not an argument to deal with homelessness before taking in refugees.

Canada is one of the world’s wealthiest nations. We should be able to help refugees become new Canadians, and help our homeless citizens. Both need compassion and practical help.

COMMUNITY FORUM

LangleyAdvance YOUR VIEW

Letters to the editor Indoor pool top priority

Dear Editor, Aldergrove has asked for an indoor pool many times over.

The community spoke loud and clear through surveys, open Township of Langley (TOL) forums, via delegations and letters into the paper.

The TOL did not listen and we are getting an outdoor pool.

We did not ask for a new arena, that was the TOL idea.

From my understanding the hockey community out here loves the existing rink.

We also did not ask for a lazy river and outdoor spray park etc.

But we are getting all of this.

We simply asked for a proper sized, functioning indoor pool, something that Aldergrove does not have.

Would all the other “stuff” be nice? Certainly. But not at the price of skimping on the pool.

To appease us we have now been told we may get a “cover” over the pool and perhaps a heated deck. This is the TOL attempt at making us happy, or at least quiet.

I can tell you we will not be happy for the seven months of the year when it is cold and rainy.

This is not supposed to be a resort pool that is used once or twice in the winter as a novelty; this is supposed to be our go-toyear-round fitness facility.

I can promise you people will not be using it in the cold months and this will lead to the TOL closing it to save money and thus making it a seasonal pool from May to September.

The pool needs a proper deep end that will accommodate deck diving as it is a component of swimming lessons, plus other deep water activities.

Our teenagers won’t be interested in the pool without a diving board.

All this is not in the current plans. This outdoor pool is not money well spent.

How about putting the lazy river, spray park, outdoor kiddie pool and all the other “goodies” on hold for the time being, and put the money towards properly

fully enclosing this pool with walls and a roof?

Hell, at this point we’ll even take the roll up garage door style walls like Walnut Grove has.

When the TOL presented the final plans at the Kinsmen centre, many people were told by councillors and staff this pool would be fully enclosed in the near future when the funds became available. That appears to have been a lie.

There are three more TOL budgets before this pool is due to be finished, I would say that is more than enough time to allocate the $7 million shortfall to pay for a proper indoor pool.

Begin construction now with the design plans reflecting room for it to be an indoor pool upon completion.

Make room for the necessary electrical and HVAC etc. now.

Please do not waste taxpayers money on this ridiculous outdoor pool. Aldergrove has waited far too long for this pool; now give us what we deserve.

Stephanie Watson, Langley

Township accountability questioned

Dear Editor, Voters have repeatedly been told by so-called “in house” experts, that we must give unelected bureaucrats high salaries to attract knowledgeable, responsible people, with the skills to run our various cities, townships, provinces, etc.

Where are they looking for these folks?

We have thousands of very bright, welltrained people who cannot find positions, and I suspect, would happily be willing to do these

jobs at less than half what our current crop gets paid.

Langley Township human resources director Shannon HarveyRenner and others like her have the audacity to compare running a small Township like Langley, with running a large international corporation.

They obviously have no concept of the responsibilities inherent in that job.

Had any CEO anywhere presented to his/ her board of directors the planned growth of

a company the way we were presented with the Willoughby and Brookswood developments, he/she would certainly have been looking for another job.

Why did we not see major changes in “staff” after this fiasco was defeated only after vociferous protests from the affected populace?

In $1.5 billion private companies, good “staff” often get share options that are shown as income, while Township “staff” get paid by direct tax dollars, and are not subject

to removal if they fail to perform.

Even though we are called The Corporation of the Township of Langley, the shareholders in this corporation don’t see any returns on investment, just constant requests for more money.

Meanwhile developers are expected to pay for infrastructure through Development Cost Charges, which are later passed on to future buyers (tax payers).

B. Froebel, Langley

HIGH SCHOOL

Inventor serious about play Emily Chan helped create a sports equipment dispensary.

ASHLEY WADHWANI news@langleyadvance.com

This summer, while most high school students stayed far away from classrooms and textbooks, Langley high school student Emily Chan was selected to participate in the SHAD fellowship program.

Every year SHAD, a not-forprofit organization aimed at empowering exceptional high school students, accepts roughly 600 students from across Canada to participate in a month-long program.

This program is designed for students “to recognize and envision their full potential as tomorrow’s leaders and change makers,” said SHAD president Barry Bisson.

“We select the individuals based on a track record of academic excellence; on evidence of drive and initiative,” Bisson said. “We look for creativity and strong interpersonal skills.”

Chan, currently in her senior year at R.E. Mountain Secondary, lived in-residence at Dalhousie University in Halifax, N.S. and attended seminars, lectures, and group activities focussed on the areas of science, technology, engineering, and math.

For her, the program was an opportunity to explore beyond her interest in science.

“I was also interested in business, because I’ve never had any encounters with business programs,” Chan said.

She is currently looking at Simon Fraser University and the University of British Columbia’s science programs for next fall with an eye to pursuing medical school.

While participating in the programs daily schedule, SHAD fellows are also tested on their

“We tailor the craft to the individual based on their ability.”

Craftworks will have more than 300 products at the show including seasonal ornaments, crafts, and early education products and aids. Some crafters create professional-quality items that Kilgour said rival even the best on the market.

New products for 2015 include three ornaments: Scottie dog, fox, and Rudolph.

Langley artist anxious to show works at Crawl Desiree Patterson art hangs in thousands of homes.

ROC LACHANCE news@langleyadvance.com

Adventure abroad beckoned Langley photographer and sculptor Desiree Patterson.

Upon her graduation from Langley Secondary School, she spent seven years roaming the globe, living in such diverse locales as Australia, Banff, Florida, Europe and Asia.

It was during her travels that the 33-year-old Vancouver artist realized her true passion for photography and decided to pursue it as a career.

Now, any opportunity to share her work with a massive crowd of art

day, loving life, I looked down only to realize my purse and camera had been stolen. That’s when I realized how much photography meant to me.”

When Patterson found herself back in Langley in 2011, she started studying small business entre-

preneurship at British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), and this year, she began studies in metal sculpture at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design.

Engaging those entrepreneurial skills, she created a series of images and art greeting cards, available at a number of retailers.

“Urban Barn is one of my favourite stores,” she said. “I was incredibly excited by the opportunity to have my decor inspired work included in their wall art selection. Two years on, and thousands of my prints are in the homes and offices of Canadians across the country.”

Getting into Whole Foods Market was on top of her wishlist, and three years ago, it happened.

“Seeing my artwork in people’s homes is the

highest honour.”

Two recent moments stood out for her.

The first was a large commission by “a sweet couple in West Vancouver,” who commissioned three large pieces for their home. One of those is her largest aluminum print to date, measuring seven feet wide by three feet high.

The second milestone is the installation of a full-wall mural at Crystal Lodge and Suites in Whistler, spanning 17 feet wide and eight feet high.

At heart As for muses, Patterson points to Ansel Adams and Edward Burtynsky, “both advocates for the environment, who have truly impacted the public through their work.” > More at langleyadvance.com

“This is one of the largest art events in Western Canada,” Patterson said of the show running from Nov. 19 to 22.

“This is my first year with the Eastside Cultural Crawl. I’m featuring contemporary and traditional photographic art in LED lightboxes, and my latest metal sculpture, an eightfoot-long, mountain-inspired piece,” she said.

How did Patterson begin?

“It’s funny how things worked out,” she said. “I got into photography when I was five. It was a thing my grandmother and I did together for years. I took photography classes in high school; loved working

Thursday, November 12, 2015 A13

Seniors support students Vintage Vaudeville comes to life this weekend at the Surrey Arts Centre thanks to the Vaudvillians. Not just your average singers, dancers, and comedians, this troupe ranges in age from 70 to 94. At more than 30 shows performed a year, its one dedicated group.

For the past 12 years Vaudeville has made its way to the centre to raise funds for bursaries for students in the performing arts at Douglas College. This year’s show, which runs at 2 p.m. Nov. 14 and 15, will reach the milestone of $100,000 raised.

A total of 27 students have been supported by the funding.

It was a project started

Tour of India benefits local hospital foundation A Nov. 18 information session is for an India vacation in 2016.

RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com

Bob Sangha and his family were grateful for the care provided to their mother during a stay at Langley Memorial Hospital and made a donation to purchase shower chairs for the

Family Practice Teaching Unit.

Then, Sangha had the idea to host a tour of Northern India with a portion of the trip’s fees donated to the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation.

He had been on a similar fundraising tour before and after approaching Bestway Tours & Safaris, began working with the foundation on plans, noted Errin Young of the foundation. “Bestway has done a tour like this before,� she said. “They build the tour package... then

Bob and [his wife] Nimi act as hosts.�

The 16-day tour will be timed to occur during Diwali (the Festival of Lights) in fall 2016 and includes visits to nine UNESCO world heritage sites. “It would accommodate a wide range of travellers,� Young said of the tour which is expected to include about 20 guests.

An information session about the trip is Wednesday, Nov. 18 from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Yorkson Creek Room at the Township

Bob and Nimi Sangha will host a 16-day tour of Northern India.

Civic building, 20338 65th Ave. The meeting will outline details about the stops and sights on the tour along with what is included. There will be time for

specific questions as well.

The Sanghas will be on the tour. They speak the language, understand customs, and know the region.

RSVP by phone for the Nov. 18 session at 604-533-6422 or erin. mcdonald@fraserhealth.ca.

The funds for the foundation will go to equipment identified on the hospital’s list of needs. “Most recently we have focused primarily on equipment for our surgical suite and the critical care unit,� said Young.

ANNE MARRISON

Dear Anne,

My geraniums are in pots on my patio.

When would it be time to bring them in?

I understand they will survive the winter if kept in the garage.

Terry Wong, South Burnaby Dear Terry,

It’s best to take your geraniums in right now.

This winter is predicted to be warmer and wetter than usual, and since you’re in South Burnaby your neighbourhood is warmer than most.

But there are still times predictions go wrong. Aside from cold, exceptionally heavy downpours could cause geraniums waterlogging problems even in pots.

Your geraniums will do much better

soft growth cut it back by about three-quarters. As spring starts, let them grow more.

Cuttings take up less space than big, old plants, are easier to check for pests and are easier to put by a sunny window in your living space. After frost season, you can plant them outside.

Dear Anne,

in the garage if you can put them by a window which lets in lots of light. If it faces a direction where sun shines in (when we get sun) so much the better.

It’s best to prune the geraniums back by at least half to three-quarters and keep them fairly dry through the winter.

This is about the best you can do right now at this time of year.

But you need to know, Terry, that many people find it very hard to keep large, old geranium plants inside over the winter. For one thing geraniums need a huge amount of light which our winters just don’t have. Another is they tend to grow long and lanky as they reach out for light and need a second pruning.

It can also happen that they bring pests inside with them. So have a very good look as you take them in.

A better way that most gardeners handle winter-storage of geraniums is to take geranium cuttings in August or September, and bring the cuttings in when the weather begins to get cold.

Water them just a little about once a week and when they start putting out long,

Chimney sweeping time again. Can I use soot and/or wood ash as garden fertilizer?

Jeremy Greenfield, Milner Dear Jeremy,

Both are traditional garden fertilizers used for years with great success. We used both in England when I was growing up. But today there are a few concerns – it depends what you’ve been burning.

Wood ash is fine if you’ve been burning natural wood like prunings or split logs.

But if you’ve been burning treated timber, there would be concerns about noxious chemicals.

Since wood ash is very alkaline, it would probably be best mixed with compost or whatever natural fertilizers you might be using anyway, such as manure.

With soot, it’s really the same caution. If all you’ve been burning is plain, basic wood, then it’s fine to use it the same way you’d use wood ash.

But often today wood stoves and fireplaces are used to burn all kinds of things that otherwise would be recycled. So soot and ash with that kind of origin would be fairly suspect.

Anne Marrison is happy to answer gardening questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca

way to be a guest at the eighth annual Furry Tail Endings.

She actually showed up early in the morning to help decorate the room, assist with the silent auction, and help prepare and then clean up after a fundraising evening that raised a near record-breaking $101,000 for Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS).

Alibay didn’t make her first trip ever to the Lower Mainland to sightsee or visit family – like most travellers.

For her 32nd birthday, Alibay decided to gift herself a twoweek vacation to the Lower Mainland. It was a chance to meet Tiny Kitten founder Shelly Roche and the LAPS teams, to volunteer at the Patti Dale Animal Shelter, and – of course – to attend the gala, which she’d watched on livestream a year earlier.

Three years ago, Alibay was turned onto a kitten cam called Foster Dad John’s Live Critter Room. She tuned into the live stream out of Seattle, watched and watched some more.

A year later, she learned of a similar 24/7 online feed called Tiny Kittens, based in

Nov. 1 — at the shelter daily from 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., except Saturday, when she spent day and night at Langley’s Coast Hotel helping with the gala.

No stranger to giving, she’s been volunteering since age 10, but never had such a rewarding experience as she’s having in Canada, Alibay said.

“When I leave, I think I will cry and I think I will be depressed in Paris. I have found my family here,” she said. “I have found my family of heart here… I don’t want it to end.”

She expressed her thanks to all the people in the organization who made her feel welcome, saying she brought a suitcase full of souvenirs from Paris as gifts for many of her new friends, as well as a sapphire and diamond pendant worth $850 that was auctioned off at Saturday night’s gala.

Alibay even indicated Saturday night that she’s considered moving to North America, to be close to what she calls the group of like-minded animal lovers involved with LAPS and Tiny Kittens. > Much more on the gala at: langleyadvance.com, search ‘LAPS’

Adelaide

With her adorable ears and her soulful eyes, it’s hard not to fall in love with Adelaide. This sweet young shelter mutt is full of energy and needs a family who enjoys spending time outdoors. Adelaide doesn’t have too much life experience and sometimes finds the world a little scary, so a patient family who will take lots of time to show her just how great life can be would be a dream come true for her.

Adelaide is a super star with other dogs and would make a great canine companion. She could also live with a feline friend.

Sangria

Olivia

Cleopatra

Margarita

Bagheera

Sangria is an adorable young pitbull.

At 1 year old, this cheeky girl loves to bounce around in the grass and show off her favourite toys. She is super snuggly and will greet new people with a really cute “hi-five.” Gria is hoping for a great home that loves the breed.

Being a bully type dog, Sangria may rub some strangers the wrong way without even meeting her. She is a very kind doggy citizen, but pitbull’s do have a negative stigma about them.

Sangria is a great breed ambassador and is looking for that very special human or humans to call her own.

Sangria is good with cats and could also live with a dog. She does get quite excited, so no small kids for this one.

This cute and cuddly wiggle-bum is Olivia! She is looking for a comfy bed and soft lap to call her own.

Olivia sometimes can’t control her excitement for life and likes to show off her smile. She is looking for an owner that will continue teaching her to keep all four on the floor - she currently enjoys giving flying kisses! Olivia is very easy to manage around other dogs but has very clear boundaries that she doesn’t like pushed. With the right match she could live with another dog and a confident cat. Olivia has food and contact allergies and will need an owner that will keep her on a hypoallergenic diet.

Cleo was surrendered to us after her cat siblings were ganging up on her. She is 4 years old and is lovely with dogs. She enjoys other cats as long as they enjoy her! She has a bit of cattitude, so she would not be suitable for a home with small kids. She is a very special black beauty and is just waiting for that purrfect person to come along and sweep her off her paws.

Margarita is a sweet as pie tuxie with a whole lot of love to give. At 4 years young, Marg was brought in by a member of the public to a vet clinic in rough shape. When she had arrived at the shelter, the poor girl had peed herself and was very scared. After a few urine tests and a much needed dental, Margarita is now available for adoption! She is such a sweetie and could live with another dog or cat. Older kids could be an option but little kids wouldn’t be suitable because she can be shy at first.

We have an extra special mini-panther at LAPS right now! His name is Bagheera, after the panther in The Jungle Book, and he was found on a property in Langley at the end of July. This strapping fellow seemed to be suffering from an old injury to his back end but we didn’t realize the extent of the damage until we sent him to Mountain View Veterinary Hospital for an exam. We were shocked to learn that the poor boy had been living with a broken hind leg and would need surgery to remove part of the bone! Fortunately, Dr. F and her team did an amazing job as always and Bagheera is now living in our big communal room, ready for adoption! Despite everything he’s been through, he’s incredibly affectionate and loves nothing more than a good chin rub or ear scratch.

Weavers and spinners sale success: A hotspot last weekend was the Fort

Langley Community Hall, where the Beyond Fibre Artisans’ Sale was put on by Langley Weavers’ and Spinners’ Guild. Crowds flocked to the hall to get a jump on some pre-Christmas shopping.

Getting very crafty Young Remembrance: Mandie

Strong support: Paul Coultura of BDO presented Rotary Club of Langley Central president Dorothy McKim with $15,000 to support the 26th annual Fraser Valley Wine Festival which was Nov. 7. Sponsor support means the club can raise more funds for community causes.

Stepping Stone Community Service Society benefits from the sale of handmade crafts.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Blame It On the Rain was a smash hit 26 years ago, and while many grumbled about last weekend’s soggy weather, it may have been part of the reason why the Stepping Stone Community Services Society’s annual craft fair was a huge success.

People sought shelter indoors as the raindrops tumbled down, and found some handmade bargains in the process at the annual show put at Stepping Stone on Michaud Crescent.

Proceeds are used to buy supplies for the Stepping Stone craft group, and to Stepping Stone programs.

Stepping Stone is a non-profit organization and a federally registered charity with a focus on helping people in Langley who are

facing challenges such as mental illness, homelessness, risk of homelessness, and poverty.

According to Stepping Stone, its craft group meets twice a week and “provides members with opportunities to structure their time, learn and maintain skills, and build confidence,” while providing a “very important social network.”

Projects include knitting, crocheting, sewing, quilting, card making, jewellery making, and Christmas crafts.

Stepping Stone executive director Janet Burden said Saturday afternoon that this year’s sale was shaping up to be a success.

“A lot of people in the community look forward to this and it’s been fabulous,” said Burden.

Another reason for the success is familiarity. The sale has taken place annually for more than two decades.

“It’s very popular and we have a lot of regular customers, and support from the community,” Burden said.

The sale was held over two days, Nov. 6 and 7, and generated roughly $7,000 in profits.

Construction activity and operation of construction equipment is permitted to occur only between the hours of: • Monday to Friday • Saturday

7am to 8pm 9am to 5pm

Noise from construction activity or noise from construction equipment is NOT PERMITTED on Sundays or statutory holidays.

Statutory holidays include any and all holidays prescribed by provincial legislation.

Contractors are also required to install a construction noise sign before building permits are issued for projects where the construction value exceeds $500,000.

For copies of the bylaw, visit tol.ca/noisebylaw. For exemption applications, notification letters, and construction noise sign information, contact: Permit, Licence & Inspection Services Department 604.533.6018

Flooding: Preventative Maintenance While Township crews routinely inspect culvert trash racks and storm systems to make sure they are functioning efficiently, conditions can change rapidly during storm season.

You can do your part to reduce flooding risks by clearing nearby curbs and catch basins of leaves and debris, especially during heavy rain. Please do not rake leaves from your property or boulevard onto the street or into open ditches. Instead, collect and compost leaves on site or bag them for future pick-up.

Cruise-In equates to $83,000 for local charities Organizations are being invited to host a Friday cruise.

“Recovery from stroke is not a quick fix, people don’t realize just how much gain can be obtained if stroke survivors continue to work on their recovery,” said Marilyn Piticco (centre), executive director of the Walnut Grove-based stroke survivors support group.

A “whopping” $63,000 will be hand delivered to several Langley charities throughout the next few weeks.

Tears can be expected to flow, gratitude expressed, and thankful hugs dished out when directors from the Langley Good Times CruiseIn personally distribute the money, explained car show president Wayne Patterson.

“With the dollars we receive from Cruise-In we are able to offer much needed support for stroke survivors living at home in our community,” Piticco said.

Her group is one of four Cruise-In charities of choice.

The others are Langley Memorial Hospital Auxiliary, Valley Therapeutic Riding Association, and Legacy Water Search & Recovery.

This year’s fundraising tally – while not the largest in the car show’s history – is $2,500 more than last year.

In addition to money raised through sponsorships and merchandise sales, plus money donated from In-N-Out Burger sales, participating service clubs also raised a further $20,000 this year – most of that through food concession sales at the September car show and automotive swap meet.

Rounding out the R.E. Mountain junior boys runners were Elias Robinson (184th) and Mina Keddis (204th).

R.E. Mountain teacher/ cross country coach Debbie McKinnon was thrilled with the way the junior boys ran, in sloppy conditions.

“I have not come down since Saturday,” McKinnon said. “They were just so determined and they worked so hard throughout the training season that started way back in August. They worked as a team, collectively, to improve their own performance. It was the worst conditions possible and they absolutely rose to the challenge.”

BRAKE FLUID FLUSH

The Langley Stampeders have clawed to the top of the Vancouver Mainland Football League’s 12-man Midget Division.

A shortened, 28-0 win over the White Rock Titans Sunday at the South Surrey Athletic Park pushed the Stamps to the top of the division, while all but eliminating the Titans from playoff contention.

First quarter action was close, with both defences holding their respective forts.

After the three-minute warning of the opening quarter, the Stamps started on their 42 yard line and marched down the field, finishing the drive with a 17-yard pass from quarterback Joss Yanciw to Simon Odong for a touchdown.

The convert was good, closing the quarter with Langley leading 7-0.

In the second quarter, the Stamps took control. Langley’s first major of the quarter came from a 40-yard pass from Yanciw

to Odong, again.

A pass interception by Odong ended a Titans drive at the Langley 40-yard line.

The next play was a 35-yard run by Devin Dacosta. The Titans were penalized on the play for hitting out of bounds and unsportsmanlike conduct, moving the ball to their three-yard marker.

With first and goal, Odong was called on again and responded with six points.

The Stamps’ final score of the half was set up by a fumble recovery by Owen Jenkins on the Titans’ 20-yard line.

Soon after, Dacosta scored his second touchdown as the half ended with Langley leading 28-0.

White Rock, unfortunately, was unable to field sufficient players to compete in the second half, therefore conceding the game to Langley.

The Stamps have the luxury of hosting their last two games at McLeod Stadium.

Their next home game is Sunday, Nov. 15, versus the Victoria Spartans, who are tied with the Chilliwack Giants in the fight for fourth place.

Opening kickoff is 2:30 p.m.

JUNIOR A HOCKEY

Rivermen playing well, but not getting results Langley juniors continue to search for consistency.

TROY LANDREVILLE sports@langleyadvance.com

After their recent three-gamesin-three-days stretch started off with a bang, the Langley Rivermen found themselves looking to snap a two-game losing skid on Remembrance Day. The Rivermen throttled the Surrey Eagles 10-4 on Nov. 5 at the Langley Events Centre (LEC) and followed that blowout win with a pair of losses: 4-2 to the host Chilliwack Chiefs Friday at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre and 3-2 to the visiting Salmon Arm Silverbacks at the LEC on Saturday.

The Rivermen went into Wednesday afternoon’s game versus Coquitlam at the LEC with a 12-8 record. The game got underway after the Langley Advance went to press.

As of Nov. 10, the local junior As sat third in the B.C. Hockey

League’s Mainland Division, three points back of Chilliwack and five behind the first-place Wenatchee Wild.

While generally happy with his team’s play over the weekend, Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson said his shooters weren’t able to bury their chances against Chilliwack and Salmon Arm. “We played pretty well all the way across the board,” Henderson said. “The Surrey game was one-sided and against Chilliwack the next night, we carried the majority of the zone time, but we couldn’t get a puck behind [Chiefs goalie Aidan Pelino]. Against Salmon Arm, we got down early but did a good job of battling back, and we had plenty of chances [to tie the score] but we just couldn’t get one in.”

Salmon Arm 3, Rivermen 2 The Rivermen weren’t able to keep up to Silverbacks forward Chase Zieky Saturday at the LEC. Zieky scored all three of his team’s goals, including the game winner that snapped a 2-2 tie at

Langley Christian’s Mussche races to B.C. bronze medal …continued from page A27

In the junior girls race, Langley Christian’s Brooke Mussche placed third, 30 seconds behind provincial champion Annika Austin of Kitsilano.

“I was pretty happy,” Mussche said.

“I was wanting to finish in the top three and run hard, but I wasn’t sure what was going to happen.”

Mussche said that with about 800 metres to go, she was in sixth spot but was determined to dig in and achieve her goal.

“I passed two people and kind of kept my feet moving and kept going,” she said. “It was the last race of the season and I really wanted to do well.”

The next fastest local junior girl was

”

“We’ve got to choke the freebies out of our game,” Henderson said. “We’ve got youth in our lineup and it’s a learning process, but we’re 15 games in, here, and we should not be having these mistakes happen.”

Rivermen 10, Surrey Eagles 4 The Eagles’ miserable season was made all the more miserable Thursday, when the Rivermen hit double figures in scoring.

Zachary Bleuler (two goals, two assists), Graham (two goals, one assist), Franco (a pair of goals), Logan Mick (one goal, two assists), Justin Szeto (three assists), and Fregona (one goal, one assist) had multiple point games for the Rivermen.

In fact, all but four Langley skaters made a mark on the scoresheet.

Matty Saharchuk and Max Kaufman also scored for the ’Men, who led 4-1 after the first period and 7-3 after 40 minutes of play.

Losers of seven straight, the Eagles occupy the Mainland Division basement with a 4-17 record.

he made it 4-2 with 2:22 to go in regulation.

Justin Fregona scored the lone Langley goal in the opening period as the Chiefs entered the first intermission with a 2-1 lead.

The Rivermen outshot the Chiefs 32-20 but Pelino was sharp in making 30 saves. He was named second star of the game.

Kane’s first of the night came on an opening-period penalty shot.

Awarded just 1:06 after Fregona’s goal, the penalty-shot marker put the Chiefs ahead 2-1.

“Our start wasn’t what it needed to be against one of top teams in the league,” Henderson said.

“Their first goal went off a d-man and they scored on a penalty shot for their second goal.

To spot a team like that two goals, it’s tough to come back on them.”

Moving forward, Henderson said for the Rivermen to continue to hang with teams like Chilliwack and Wenatchee, they have to clean up their mistakes.

the 8:09 mark of the third period, as the Silverbacks edged the Rivermen 3-2.

A power play goal in the second period from Matthew Graham and an unassisted goal from Torrin White 7:27 into the final frame, tying the game at 2-2, scored for the Rivermen.

Zieky’s winner came 45 seconds after White tied the game.

The goal came against the run of the play. After a slow start, the Rivermen outshot the Silverbacks 16-4 in the final 20 minutes of play.

Chilliwack Chiefs 4, Rivermen 2 Rookie Kale Kane’s second of the night, scored at the 10:41 mark of the second period, snapped a 2-2 and proved to be the winner as the Chiefs doubled the Rivermen at Prospera Centre.

Kane’s goal was a backbreaker – it came just seven seconds after Langley forward Dominic Franco tied the game at 2-2.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Langley Rams sophomore defensive lineman Brock Gowanlock was a B.C. Football Conference juggernaut this season.

And as a juggernaut is defined as “a huge, powerful, and overwhelming force,” that’s what opposing offensive linemen and blockers had to contend with whenever they faced the 19-year-old product of the Cowichan Bulldogs.

On Nov. 5, Gowanlock was among the 13 players named as Canadian Junior Football League (CJFL) Defensive Jostens/CFL All-Canadians for the 2015 season.

And rightly so: Gowanlock led the CJFL with 14.5 sacks,

to go along with 17 tackles, five assists, one knockdown, two forced fumbles, and one fumble recovery for a touchdown.

Langley set the BCFC record for most sacks in a regular season (46) and Gowanlock’s 14.5 quarterback takedowns fell just 1.5 shy of the all-time record of 16 set in 2013 by the Rams’ Evan Foster.

“I felt like I had a pretty good year this year,” Gowanlock said.

“I’m definitely happy I was acknowledged, but football is a team sport.”

The Rams had a decent season, losing 28-27 to the V.I. Raiders in the BCFC playoff semifinal in Nanaimo after finishing their regular season with a 6-4 record.

Rams head coach Jeff Alamolhoda said he could see Gowanlock’s progression from year one to year two of his junior football career.

“He became the player I could foresee once he got comfortable in the league and with the speed in the game,” Alamolhoda said. “He had all the intangibles to be great and that’s what he was this year.

He’s a guy who plays with a chip on his shoulder and he played like that all year.”

“This year I was a lot more comfortable in the environment I was in, knowing the pace of game,” Gowanlock noted.

Sun eclipsed The host Saskatoon Hilltops captured the Canadian Bowl title with a 38-24 win over the Okanagan Sun on Saturday.

It was the only setback for the Sun, who finished with a 10-0 record, followed by a 54-0 win over the Raiders in the conference final Oct. 25.

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”
