A section of Aldergrove, in the area of 266B Street and 29th Avenue was cordoned off for a few hours with police tape after a car-jacked vehicle was discovered down the street from the high school. It’s believed the abandoned 1998 Accura Integra was taken from south Cloverdale earlier the same morning, after the rural neighbourhood erupted in gunfire. Police arrived on scene to find a middleaged man shot dead at the end of a driveway in the 17600-block of 24th Avenue, said Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. Late Thursday Mounties identified the dead man as 51-year-old Randall Davis, of Surrey. Carr said it’s “a touch too early” to say if the shooting was drug- or gang-related or if the victim was an intended target. Shots were heard at about 7 a.m., just east of 176th Street. A short time later, a neighbour’s vehicle was then carjacked but its owner was not injured and police recovered that vehicle in Aldergrove some time later. Police are looking to find anyone who observed a driver in the car-jacked vehicle, driving “erratically” between Cloverdale and Aldergrove between 7 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. “Police are seizing the vehicle to see what if any information they can obtain from it,” he added. In the meantime, two people found inside the Cloverdale house are “probably considered witnesses at this point,” Carr said. Interviews were being conducted at the Surrey RCMP detachment but no arrest had been made or suspect had been identified by press time. Carr said it’s “difficult to say” if the man was shot in the house or in the driveway. “We do not feel this is a dump site.” A police dog followed a track through

Police investigators began the task of collecting evidence from the crime scene on 24th Avenue and 176 Street in Cloverdale on Thursday morning. nearby bushes to some evidence, the nature of which police are not disclosing. “However,” Carr said, “the track ended abruptly.” A tactical troop will scour the bush for more evidence as the police barricade was expected to remain for a couple of days. “We have a very large outdoor scene we’re dealing with here,” Carr said. Meanwhile, that portion of 24th Avenue a couple blocks east of 176th Street was expected to be closed until at least Friday. “An extensive neighbourhood inquiry campaign will be done over the course of today and tomorrow,” he explained. On Thursday morning motorists’ necks were craning to look as cars and trucks rumbled to and from the border along busy
176th Street. One man who lives on the other side of 24th stopped by to investigate. “I just heard there was a shooting,” he said, identifying himself only as Rob. He soon found himself swarmed by media looking for his reaction to the murder. “It’s happening everywhere, so not much reaction,” he said. Anyone with information is asked to call IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT. Or to remain anonymous, people can call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Anonymity is guaranteed. “We need to speak to each and every neighbour in the area, we will be looking to see if they have seen anything out of the ordinary over the last few days,” Carr said.

Coroner charged with manipulating bodies Forensic team suspicions led to criminal charges against a Chilliwack coroner. by Roxanne Hooper

A former B.C. coroner faces criminal charges this week, in connection with allegations of manipulating a murder victim’s body in Langley last spring. Langley RCMP’s serious crime section led an investigation into the actions of a coroner after officers became suspicious of his actions at a Langley murder scene. “Lower Mainland District Forensic Identification officers were collecting evidence at a Langley homicide scene in March 2009, when one officer noticed
what appeared to be a pattern of questionable and possibly criminal behaviour by the coroner, and informed investigators of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT),” said the RCMP’s regional communications officer Sgt. Peter Thiessen. The subsequent investigation by Langley Mounties revealed the coroner’s examination in two separate incidents involved alleged criminal behaviour in the manipulation of the bodies, he explained. The other incident apparently occurred in Port Coquitlam in February 2009. “The families of each victim have been contacted and informed of these criminal charges,” Thiessen said. “I can’t imagine how the families would feel, after the murders of their loved ones, about unsettling new
allegations such as these. Out of coroner’s service shortly after respect for the families, we will the investigation into allegations not be releasing any more inforagainst him began. mation about the nature of these He was arrested and interallegations.” viewed Tuesday, and was While Thiessen released to appear in said he could not Surrey Provincial Court identify the murder on Thursday, Oct. 21. victims involved, he He was subsequently confirmed that there charged Wednesday was only one murder with two counts of in Langley and one in offering an indignity Port Coquitlam on the to human remains and days in question. two counts of breach of Laura Lynn trust by a public officer.

Breastfeeding
Babies, moms take challenge It was feeding time inside the Langley Health Unit Saturday. They came; they saw; they suckled. At precisely 11 a.m. Saturday, six babies “latched on” to their moms at the Langley Health Unit as part of the Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge. Afterwards, the moms and their babies – including a pair that came all the way from Victoria to participate – received a certificate of attendance. Each year, breastfeed-
ing is celebrated globally. In Canada it is from Oct. 1-7, when the nation marks World Breastfeeding Week in Canada and other countries. For the ninth year in a row, the Quintessence Foundation hosted a global challenge, with a goal of having the most ever mothers with babies breastfeeding simultaneously. In 2001, the Quintessence Breastfeeding Challenge started in B.C. with 856 babies and their mothers at 26 sites. By last year there were 4,766 babies at 246 sites in 21 countries.
According to the Quintessence Foundation, breastfeeding promotes normal bonding, attachment, brain development, higher IQ, vision/central nervous system development, and jaw and facial development. In addition the Foundation states that breastfeeding is protective against a number of infant and childhood illnesses, with the incidence among formula-fed infants two to five times higher for gastrointestinal illness, respiratory disease, ear and urinary track infections, and eczema.

Cat killer puts Mounties on alert Pet owners are being warned. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
The police and BC SPCA are voicing concern after more cats have been found dismembered. At least five dead cats have been found in White Rock, South Surrey, and Langley. The RCMP launched the investigation when a person reported finding half of her cat’s body on a neighbour’s lawn Sept. 20. After the story was in the media, others came forward to say they too had cats dismembered but didn’t report the incidents at the time, simply burying their pets. “Somebody appears to be arbi-
trarily killing cats,” RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen said. “They’ve pretty much been surgically separated ... cut in half. There’s been two we’re aware of in White Rock, one on the South Surrey-White Rock border and several in Langley.” Back in August, a South Brookswood woman related her unfortunate incident to the Langley Advance. She and her daughters had seen what they thought was a friendly stray cat one morning. The next morning, she found the dismembered cat nearby, recognizing it by its colouration. At the time she said it appeared to have been cleanly cut in half and there was no blood in the area. At the time, the RCMP con-
firmed that there were at least two cats found dead and dismembered in the area. Then as now, people are being encouraged to keep their pets at home, particularly overnight. Eileen Drever, with the BC SPCA, said the RCMP is leading this investigation and offered up any assistance the SPCA could offer. “This is horrific that someone would intentionally harm a cat,” she commented. Police have discounted the possibility of this being done by animals and are advising people to be vigilant about their pets. Anyone with information about the cat dismemberment is asked to contact their local police.

Officers were responding to a domestic dispute call Saturday night when they happened across an unexpected crime in progress. Just before 7 p.m., Langley Mounties were travelling east on the Trans-Canada Highway, when they noticed a pickup truck parked in the middle of the 232nd Street off-ramp and a Chrysler Dynasty in the ditch facing south. They noticed that late 1980s model four-wheel-drive sedan was steaming and damaged from the crash, and officers spotted someone in the driver’s seat. Getting out to offer a hand to what was believed a driver in peril, officers were taken by surprise when the man got out of the vehicle, hands in the air – as if to surrender. He proceeded to lay face-down on the grass and put his hands behind his head, explained Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Upon further investigation, officers found the car’s ignition has been punched out and tools were scattered on the floor. It turned out the vehicle had been reported stolen from Abbotsford a few days earlier. The driver of the pickup truck advised police the Dynasty had pulled up behind him as they both travelled eastbound. The car then moved to the left of the pickup, as if to pass, then cut in front of the truck before crashing into the ditch. John McDougall, 40, from Abbotsford was subsequently arrested and transported to hospital for treatment of his nonlife-threatening injuries, then released back into police custody later the same night. During the search of McDougall, police also seized a substance – believed to be heroin, Marks elaborated. The man appeared in court Thursday to answer charges of possession of stolen property, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of breakin instruments.

Volunteers driven to act Crime-fighters are working hard to thwart offenders. by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
An increase in Murrayville area auto crime has shifted crime prevention work into overdrive. “Two of my volunteers have taken on this problem, and have dubbed this Project: Murrayville,” said Karen Zappa, the Brookswood Community Policing Office coordinator. Over the past month, volunteers have distributed crime alert notices to many Murrayville homes so they are aware of what’s taking place in the neighbourhood. “Phase 2 of their project is to do a community awareness campaign,” she said. Brookswood CPO volunteers will be out providing information on the Lock Out Auto Crime and Stolen Auto Recover programs on Oct. 23. They will be set up at the Marketplace IGA in Murraville, 222nd Street and Fraser Highway, from noon to 4 p.m. “The booth will be manned by the volunteers organizing this project, and will have information available to the public with safety tips and how to prevent themselves from becoming a victim of auto crime,” Zappa explained.
Zoning
Small lots concept draws fire
City residents are saying not in my backyard. by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Allowing smaller lots within Langley City will be a tough sell. Most people attending the second of four consultation meetings Wednesday evening were opposed to allowing infill development or smaller lots on single-family properties south of the Nicomekl River. The City hired consultant John Steil, of Stantec in Vancouver, to study the issue and gather public input. In 1980 the City’s standard single family lot size was 7,000 square feet. It was reduced to 5,995 square feet in the 1990s. Lots must currently be a minimum of 16 metres wide (about 52 feet). “About 75 per cent of the housing stock is over 30 years old,” Steil noted. In many cases, the property is more valuable than the houses that sit on them, the crowd was told. Steil showed some MLS realty listings as examples. A White Rock house on a traditional lot was priced at about $535,000 but a new house on a half-size lot was priced at more than $600,000. Audience members com-

mented that developers only want the land and there’s little benefit of small lots to current residents. The City is looking at allowing smaller lots to increase the population and tax base, as well as to allow for more development in the 10 square kilometres (four square miles) that make up the municipality. Approximately 9,205 people live south of the Nicomekl River in some 3,115 dwellings. No decisions have been made about zoning changes, the
crowd was told. The City is gathering public feedback on the idea of smaller lots and a report is being prepared for City council, explained Gerald Minchuk, the City director of economic development. The feedback is being collated into a report for City council but Minchuk noted that any zoning changes would not happen overnight. Steil provided examples of how other municipalities have handled smaller lots, including Richmond, White Rock and Victoria, showing good and bad features. Audience members asked or commented on how this would impact the character of neighbourhoods, traffic and congestion, parking, safety, and other environmental concerns. Some also commented that they didn’t feel they had enough information to fill out the survey about whether they think the City should make this change. People can find out about smaller lots on the Langley City website, www.city.langley. bc.ca. There is also the survey that has been given out at the public meetings. It can be filled out online as well. The two remaining meetings are at 7 p.m. on Oct. 19 at Blacklock Fine Arts Elementary, and at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 21 at Alice Brown Elementary.

Willoughby apartments blocked
by Bob Groeneveld editor@langleyadvance.com
Eight low-rise apartment buildings proposed for Willoughby got the axe at the eleventh hour. Instead of giving third reading at Monday night’s meeting, Township council shot down a bylaw that would have seen the development of 607 apartments in the Gordon neighbourhood, at about 68th Avenue and 200th Street. Residents of the area have spoken “passionately in defence of their neighbourhood,” councillors agreed when they voted to defeat the bylaw. Chief concerns raised at a public hearing involved local school capacity, traffic issues, and “interface.” The apartment complex, with eight buildings of up to six storeys, plus 14
townhouses, would add children to R.C. Garnett Demonstration School, resulting in massive overcrowding, neighbours felt. They wanted assurances of effective traffic calming through the neighbourhood, and particularly around the school, where speeding motorists already create hazards, let alone the huge numbers of vehicles that would be added to the area by the development. Homeowners in the area were also concerned that the interface between their homes and the block of apartments would be too abrupt, and wanted assurances of a more gradual shift from singlefamily dwellings to higher apartment buildings. Councillor Charlie Fox said the plan seemed reasonable when it first came to the council table, but opponents “came with thoughtful concerns.” Upon further consideration, he said, it became clear that the plan “was flawed from the beginning – too dense.” The motion to defeat Forewest Construction bylaw passed unanimously, to cheers from the gallery.

Car thieves eye casino
Dan Loney wins the Manulife Financial Leadership of Excellence Award
Crooks gamble on finding items to steal from vehicles at the casino.
Manulife Financial congratulates Dan Loney, President, Loney Financial Corporation, winner of the inaugural Leadership Award of Excellence award. Dan was presented the award at the Manulife Financial 2010 National Educational Conference.

A rash of car thefts at Cascades Casino in Langley last month has police reminding drivers to be vigilant. The casino, located at 20393 Fraser Hwy., was the target of five auto thefts and four auto break-ins in September. Police are at a loss to explain why. There were no cars stolen in the preceding three months, even though car thefts tend to spike in the summer. During the same period last year, there was only one theft during August.
The Leadership Award of Excellence is a peer nominated award that is designed to allow those who have made a difference in their communities, locally, nationally or globally to share their spirit and inspiration with others.

Dan and his late father, James Ralph Loney, had a dream to build an orphanage. Dan was just 14 when his father died suddenly and Dan vowed to keep his father’s dream alive. Now, 35 years later, Dan and his wife Joy head up the James Project which houses 74 orphaned girls on 15 acres in the safety region of Monjas Jalapa, Guatamala. The James Project also schools 200 children and feeds the mouths of 100 Guatemalans every day.

Cpl. Holly Marks of Langley RCMP said she was unaware of the thefts until The Province phoned, and that she would be flagging it so officers are aware. Marks added that auto theft does tend to “go in waves” and that Cascades Casino has not been known for a high level of criminal activity. “I review the watch commander’s report and I don’t see a lot of activity at Cascades Casino,” Marks said. Sgt. Gord Elias of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team said he suspects the thieves targeted the casino because of its “target-rich environment.” The casino has both an open-air parking lot and a parkade, which tend to attract thieves.

Motorists will have to take a slight detour on the Trans-Canada Highway as construction begins on the 202nd Street Park & Ride project. The $54.6 million project requires the construction of new high occupancy (HOV) and transit on-ramps and support structures for vehicles getting onto the highway westbound from the new Park & Ride.
That means traffic will have to shift and use a drive lane in the median between 204th Street and 200th Street. On Oct. 6 crews started construction and residents in the area will hear the work. Notices sent out about this work say there will be three to four weeks of pile driving and drilling. The federal government contributed $19.15 million in economic stimulus money for the project intended to get more people out of their cars and onto public transit by providing them a centrally located parking lot where they can leave their vehicles and catch transit to other parts of the Lower Mainland. More information is at www.pmh1project.com.

Langley Township
Trustee by-election too slow for councillors to speed up the election process from the Ministry of Education, the seat would be back up for election in only five months, in November 2011. He suggested that, with agreement from the provincial government, the byelection could be squeezed up to Dec. 11, or even Dec. 4, which would place the new trustee on the board by the end of January. The Township is legally charged with running the by-election to replace school board chair Bech, who resigned upon moving out of the community in September [School board chair leaves post, Sept. 17, Langley Advance].

A by-election to fill the school trusteeship vacated by Joan Bech can’t happen soon enough for Langley Township council. To avoid opening polling booths at Christmas, the by-election will be in early to mid-January, with the new trustee taking his or her seat at the board table in mid-March. “That is not satisfactory,” declared Councillor Charlie Fox, a retired Langley School District teacher and principal. “We need to get this done.” He pointed out that, without special permission

But the already-strapped school district, battling a $13.5-million budget deficit, is responsible for the anticipated $75,000 cost. Coun. Kim Richter offered, “It would be wonderful if the by-election could be protested,” suggesting that the expense to the school district could be avoided by leaving the board seat vacant until November next year. The school district is responsible for the timing of the election, said Coun. Mel Kositsky. He said it would be inappropriate for
Township council to ask the education ministry to speed things up. He also cautioned that the School Act specifically prohibits the Township from getting involved in the politics or interfering in the election process. Township administrator Mark Bakken agreed that the Township’s role in the election, under the School Act, is mostly administrative. He suggested planning for three possible election dates – Dec. 4 and 11, and mid-January – because try-
ing to shift the by-election forward would “add to the complexity” of the process, and if neither of the first two panned out, it could end up delaying the whole thing beyond January. Coun. Steve Ferguson reiterated Fox’s concern that “time is of the essence,” and wanted the by-election held “sooner than later.” Bakken added, “The school board is anxious to hold the election at the earliest opportunity.” Council followed his advice to get the election
This story first appeared as breaking news at www.langleyadvance.com process in motion, and agreed with Fox to push for an earlier election date in a separate motion. Langley School District communications manager Craig Spence said the district position is that the byelection is overseen by the Township and it will not interfere. “The election process is being organized and run by the municipality,” he said.

Two women face more than $500 in fines after driving along the border without seatbelts this week. Langley RCMP were conducting routine checks of drivers along Zero Avenue on Oct. 5, when a driver, a 32-year-old Langley woman, and her 65-year-old mother and her two children, ages one and six, were spotted not wearing seatbelts, said Cpl. Holly Marks. “The infant sat in a car carrier seat, but was not strapped in, nor was the seat harnessed to the vehicle,” Marks said. “The six-year-old sat in a booster seat with no seatbelt.” It all netted the driver a $385 fine for failure to have herself or the kids in seatbelts, while the mother received her own ticket for $167. “In years past, one third of all fatalities in Langley were related to the non-use of seatbelts,” Marks said. In September, local Mounties wrote more than 165 seatbelt tickets, and have already written a further 48 in the first few days of October.
NOW, more than ever, it’s important to plan ahead.

Up in smoke The Canadian Cancer Society says 37,000 Canadians die every year from smoking – and 18 per cent of Canadians older than 15 admitted to smoking last year. So about 1.65 million Canadians are gambling with their health. Chances are you know a few. You’ll also likely know a smoker who has tried to quit – several times. Quitting is hard. There are all sorts of legal chemicals in cigarettes that appear to be there to stimulate the pleasure centre of the brain – heroin addicts know about that. Ten years ago, Health Canada said it wanted to reduce the number of smokers in Canada from 25 to 11 per cent. The first five years went well… but since then there has been only a one per cent reduction. One might imagine that Health Canada would have wanted to ramp up a variety of education, warning, and smoking cessation programs to achieve its stated target – and in doing so, save the country billions in health-care costs. But after more than six years of “consultations,” the federal government has quietly halted plans to update warnings on cigarette packets and include the number of a toll-free line to help smokers quit. Instead, the feds will focus efforts on contraband cigarettes – a move that will benefit tobacco companies as much as it might reduce the supply of some smokers. Surely, protecting the health of Canadians ought to be more important than stopping the flow of illegal smuggling. There’s something sadly askew with the government’s priorities on this one. And, unfortunately, it’s Canadians who will pay the price – and in so many ways. We’ll all pay the tax dollars that go into the anti-smuggling effort. We’ll all pay for the lost wages and revenues due to the generally poorer health of those who smoke. And we’ll all pay for lost loved ones who got sucked into the smoke and were unable to find their way back out until it was too late. But a few tobacco smugglers might take a hit.

Willoughby
Neighbours won council over Dear Editor,
We’ve all become skeptical over the years about whether or not we can make a difference in our communities, whether the voices of residents are heard and whether governments really care about the average citizen. People are too often too happy to complain, but never do anything about their concerns. Langley Township council’s unanimous decision to strike down a proposal for eight apartment buildings and 14 townhouse units at 200th Street and 68th Avenue is proof that residents can make a difference in their community. Our Willoughby community rallied together and took the time to make their voices heard to Township council. Presentations by more than 60 residents opposing the proposal showed how com-
BOXING / KICKBOXING CIRCUIT FOR WOMEN
mitted and passionate we are about the future of our community. Together, we gave a number of compelling reasons for council to think long and hard about the proposal’s impact. I commend my neighbours, our community, and everyone who took the time to make their voices heard – together we really made a difference. I’d also like to praise council for taking the time to listen to us, to consider our concerns, and to make the right decision. When my seven-year-old daughter asked, “Daddy, why aren’t they building those apartments?” I was proud to tell her, “Well, you know, lots of people didn’t want those apartments, and we told the mayor and council – and guess what? They listened to us.”

Fort Langley
Business opposes ParkLane Dear Editor,
I heard that Fort Langley business people were in support of ParkLane’s proposal, according to the chair of the Fort Langley BIA. But I couldn’t recall hearing anything like it from any of the business people I talk to. Our customers from the Fort Langley community, including those from Bedford Landing, wasted no time asking us to account for the official position. I surveyed the retail sector, which would be most impacted by poor community development planning. I began with the history of the BIA’s positioning on this issue: the chair of the Fort Langley BIA stated, at the June public hearing at Langley Township council, that the BIA supported ParkLane’s application for rezoning. By implication, we were not supporting new retail development in Bedford Landing. A claim was made, also attributed to the BIA, that retail in Bedford Landing wasn’t viable. The architect’s feasibility study on a hotel in that location, as commissioned by ParkLane, references future plans for retail development in the current ParkLane Discovery Centre, owned by ParkLane’s sister company. Could it be that a retail area with full visual exposure from Glover Road is less viable than one that is hidden from view by the Fort Pub? I elected to simply ask folks what they think. I am also a business owner in the Fort. I began to survey other
business people: Are you opposed to more retail development in the Fort? Are you opposed to retail development, specifically in Bedford Landing? Of 28 respondents, 27 support more retail business in the Fort, with one “don’t know.” About 74 per cent support retail in Bedford Landing, one was undecided, and four were opposed. One of the opposed has since shifted to a position of support, no explanation offered. This survey belies statements made on behalf of Fort Langley retail business owners by the BIA. I have both worked for and presided over constituency-based organizations where I have polled memberships. It isn’t rocket science; it simply requires commitment to be transparent and accountable to your membership. Read our lips if you have to: we do not support ParkLane’s proposal to rezone this last piece of waterfront to high-density housing.
Catherine Doyle, Fort Langley
Let ParkLane do it Dear Editor,
The letters continue to come in, lamenting that there will be no boutiquestyle hotel at the Bedford Landing site. I am glad. I live on Billy Brown Road, and a “Granville Island-style” commercial area does not sit well with me. You do not need a study to determine that a hotel at that location is not
viable. The village is void of any tourist crowds from mid-fall until late spring. Besides, I hate Granville Island. The place is a mad house. Parking? Forget about it. I would like to see someone try to manoeuvre a 40-foot canoe through the crowds down there. Mr. Woodrow states [Changes contrary to tourism plan, Oct. 1 Letters, Langley Advance] that this style of development would open the riverfront to the public. I walk that trail almost every night, and those apartments do nothing to impede my access to the riverfront. Were it not for the Bedford Landing development, there likely would have been more industrial business there, with no access. Those who continue to lobby for the hotel and commercial space are being disingenuous. They really want to stop ParkLane from finishing what they did not want in the first place, and this is their last chance to do it. It is crucial that the development be finished. Enough time has passed. If others feel strongly enough that the hotel and retail would be that viable, they should form a development company of their own, raise the capital necessary, and approach ParkLane about a buyout of that property so they can build it themselves.
Jamie Clark, Fort Langley

There were activities for the whole family, including pets, entertainment, facepainting, a health fair, vendors, and treats. Even Mother Nature seemed to approve, offering up a lovely autumn day for this first-ever event.

Celebrating our Crystal Anniversary
Congratulations to our Rnalists
Ryan Walter isn’t a name I know, personally. That’s because I’m not much of a hockey fan. But talk to any of my coworkers or friends who follow the sport, and they fondly remember Walter’s contribution to the professional sport of hockey over his 15-season career of play – nine of which were with the Washington Capitols and Montreal Canadiens, and two with Vancouver. Well, this athlete-turned-assistantcoach with the Vancouver Canucks is also the author of four books, the creator of a hockey board game, and currently a motivational speaker and leadership coach. Wearing the latter business hat, he will be in Langley this month to address the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. Walter will be the keynote speaker at the Tuesday, Oct. 19 meeting at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre, his presentation called Inspiring Your Hungry Spirit: How do we stay hungry as leaders? He’ll translate his personal experience into practical applications that will help build and develop leaders and teams. Tickets for the event must be purchased before Oct. 15. They are $30 for chamber members and $45 for non-members, and can be reserved by calling 604-530-6656, or emailing events@langleychamber.com.
Scouts benefit from hike
The 42 minutes it took Michael Timms to climb the Grouse Grind has netted Scouts Canada $500. Five Britco staff members recently took up a challenge to hike the North Shore mountain, with colleagues at the Langley construction firm placing bets on who would win. Okay, it wasn’t actually a betting system, but rather ballots – similar to horse racing – generating $130 from those unwilling or unable to accept the hike challenge. The first Grind participant to reach the top was awarded the right to direct the ballot money to a charity of choice. Timms, whom coworkers have nicknamed “Time-to-Beat Mike,” chose to give to a charity close to his heart. As a volunteer Scouts and Ventures leader, Britco’s human resources director picked Scouts Canada. He was even more thrilled by his win when Britco owners Rick McClymont and David Taft topped up the employee contributions and presented the Scouts with a cheque for $500.
On the builders’ front
Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Assocation presented its annual awards of excellence this week, with one award going to ParkLane Homes. The Vancouver company received Builder of the Year. This is the developer of two Bedford Landing projects in Fort Langley, and the Winchester townhouse development further south. As well, David Fisher of Mitsui Homes Canada in Langley was elected this week to sit on the GVHBA board.

THE OWLS OF GA’HOOLE (G)
Darcy Michael Michael has working alongside the likes of Scott Thompson, Janeane Garafolo, Greg Proops and Matthew Perry, and a few of his past credits include appearances at the Global Comedy Festival, Halifax Comedy Festival, Winnipeg Comedy Festival, CBC Radio’s “The Debaters,” and XM Satellite Radio. Sean Proudlove orn and raised in Victoria, Sean Proudlove found his calling early – he could make people laugh. At that age he was usually ripping off material from episodes of Sanford and Son he had watched the night before. In 1997, Proudlove performed stand up for the first time. He was hooked – on stand-up comedy that is. Recently, Proudlove entered the Corner Gas Stand-Up competition and was chosen as one of the finalists from more than 1,600 contestants. While he didn’t win, he ate as much free food as humanly possible. And even more recently, Proudlove filmed his first Comedy Now television special. Proudlove’s stand-up style has been described as oddly observant, fearless, and poignant, but for things that don’t matter or ever happen. He has received high praise from the likes of Corner Gas star Brent Butt, who said, “The rest of us – we’re all derivative of somebody else but with Sean it’s a unique thought process.” The Vancouver Sun described Proudlove this way: “Proudlove is a stand-up comic and such an original one.” • More online at www.langleyadvance.com, click on “Entertainment”

Wildlife
Langley park teemed with critters who care
A
10-year-old girl and a gaggle of her friends and relatives are credited with helping push Critter Care over the $10,000 mark this past weekend. Emma McDiarmid decided to forego birthday presents and a traditional party. When the party invitations went out via email for her 10th birthday, she asked everyone to donate to her newfound charity of choice, and to join her for a five-kilometre walk around Campbell Valley Regional Park last Sunday. Emma and her family first discovered Critter Care this summer, when they attended an open house. While there, the Grade 5 Glenwood
elementary student grabbed a brochure about an upcoming fundraiser, that coincidentally was happening on her birthday. That night at dinner, she announced her intentions, explained her mother Amy. “I was rather proud, I must say,” Amy told the Langley Advance. “There was no prompting. It was her idea all the way.” Emma’s team of 17 people were counted among 116 walkers who took part in the second annual Walk on the Wildside fundraising event, and they jointly raised $216 for the cause. The inaugural walk in 2009 netted the wildlife care facility in South Langley about $6,800, and organizers were elated. With a few donations still to come in, this year’s event has already generated an estimated

$10,600 and Elaine Stirling was over the moon, she told the Langley Advance. “We’re absolutely thrilled,” she said, noting that donations were down significantly during their other fundraisers this year, and this helps make up for that shortfall. “We’re really, really happy and it’s motivated us to grow it for future,” Stirling said. All money raised by the walk helps cover operating costs, such as veterinary care and feed, including the $25,000 needed annually for baby animal milk. Critter Care is a wildlife education and rehabilitation centre that has been operational in the community since 1986, and moved the current site at 481 216th St. almost 15 years ago.

Volunteering students learn from makeover
Students in red T-shirts transformed the yard of a disabled single mother, as part of their fourth annual home renovation makeover.

The Red Army has invaded. For the fourth year in a row, horticulture students from Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s Langley campus, dubbed the Red Army in their matching T-shirts, descended on a residential property to give it a landscaping makeover. “This was a storybook act of volunteerism by our students in the midst of a busy midterm week,” said Stan Kazymerchyk, the Turfgrass Management instructor. “Kwantlen Horticulture students gave 110 per cent, working tirelessly to show their compassion for a deserving family. They showed hard work, respect, cooperation, creativity and excited smiles throughout the whole “This was a storybook act of process. I am very proud of everything volunteerism … in the midst our students were of a busy midterm week.” able to accomplish – STAN KAZYMERCHYK and more importantly with how they did it.” Kwantlen has partnered with Cornerstone Church in Port Moody to help a family by redoing their home, inside and out. “Cornerstone sent the Beaudoin family away for a week while they completely renovated their house and Kwantlen Horticulture renovated the outdoor space,” he explained. But before shovels could hit the ground, students were busy planning. “A team of three horticulture students, Alyssa Chuback, Alexis Weissler, and Fred Tucker, worked many hours in September to plan yard design, secure donations and organize resources,” he explained. Then on Oct. 1, a total of 11 students in the turfgrass program were onsite at the 60-year-old Coquitlam home of Chantel Beaudoin. The single mother of a 10-year-old lost her leg in a train accident six years ago and couldn’t afford the extensive repair work required for the home. By the time the church and Kwantlen finished their work, there had been some 200 people volunteering on the property. While renovating a property to help out a family, the Kwantlen students were also learning. Kazymerchyk used the work as a sports field construction lab exercise. “They tilled compacted soil, integrated compost, and installed a premium back lawn, complete with irrigation system,” he said. continued on page A22…

WE THINK: WHEN IT COMES TO FAMILY, YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO SAFE. To keep your family safe from the dangers of carbon monoxide, have your natural gas appliances inspected regularly and, for extra peace of mind, you may consider installing a carbon monoxide detector in your home.
Industry integral to volunteer program
Carbon monoxide is invisible, odourless, and dangerous. That’s why it’s important to know the warning signs of exposure that can affect anyone: chronic headaches, nausea, drowsiness, impaired judgment, and loss of coordination.

The school monitors its previous landscape make-overs. Kazymerchyk said the previous families have kept their makeovers in great condition. “The families think of their new yards as soothing, peaceful sanctuaries and have gone on to improve their yards even further,” he commented. “The work done by these yard makeovers really makes a strong, positive impact in people’s lives.”
…continued from page A21 Students also made the space look beautiful, and on Oct. 3, it was time for the reveal. The students had landscaped the front yard with perennials, trees, bulbs, and mulch, and graded, installed paving stones, created raised planter boxes and arbors with drip irrigation, and installed a waterfall and covered hammock. Kazymerchyk said the support of the turf and landscape industry, which provided about $9,000 worth of materials, is integral to the student volunteer program. Supplies were provided by businesses from around the Lower Mainland, including

Cranberries fit season perfectly
P
umpkin pie is a traditional dessert at Thanksgiving, but there are other options that would feel as seasonal. One of my favourites is Cranberry Bread Pudding. Bread puddings usually utilize leftover stale bread, but I prefer to use a fresh loaf of French bread and toast it in the oven instead. The results are far superior. When it first comes from the oven, it will be puffed up and beautiful, but don’t be alarmed to see it shrink down as it cools, this is normal. When it comes to serving, a premium vanilla bean ice cream is a wonderful addition. I hope it becomes a favourite with your family, too.

On Cooking by Chef Dez
1. Preheat oven to 400ºC. Tear the French bread into one-to-two-inch chunks and spread evenly on a large baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, tossing the pieces around about halfway through. Remove from the oven and let sit while you prepare the rest of the pudding. 2. Decrease oven to 350ºC and prepare a 9x13 baking dish by buttering it. 3. In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and the zest thoroughly. Whisk in the cream and milk. Add the toasted bread pieces and the dried cranberries and toss together thoroughly with your hands. Let sit for 10 minutes for the bread pieces to absorb. 4. Put one half of the custard-soaked bread mixture into the prepared baking dish and top with half of the fresh/frozen halved cranberries. Add the remaining bread mixture (and scrape all liquid from the bowl) to the dish and top with the remaining fresh/ frozen halved cranberries. Bake for approximately one hour until the top browns and puffs up. Also an inserted butter knife should come out clean. 5. Let sit for at least 10 to 15 minutes before serving warm with vanilla bean ice cream. – Makes 10 to 12 portions

One lucky supporter could win this $2.3-million palatial country estate in Langley’s High Point Equestrian Estates. It’s one of the three grand prizes the lottery winner gets to pick from on Nov. 3.

That luxury sub-penthouse in the arts and culture district of Vancouver is worth more than $2.2 million. A third grand prize option is $2 million tax-free cash. For those perplexed about which grand prize to take, virtual and in-person tours of both homes are available. Thousands of people have already taken a look through the mammoth Langley home during the
past few months. It’s still available daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 19871 1st Ave. With more than 80 per cent of the tickets already sold as of last week, folks might not want to wait until the final day (which just so happens to be Thursday, Oct. 14) to get their ticket for the BC Children’s Hospital Dream Lottery. Tickets are three for $100, six for $175, nine for $250, and 20 for $500, and are available at the Langley home, online at bcchildren. com, or at 604-692-2333. The draw date is Nov. 3.

ere’s the perfect chance to own a dream home in Langley, and to help sick children at the same time. For the first time ever, BC Children’s Hospital is holding two big lotteries in one year, and up for grabs this fall is a $2.3 million, six-bedroom home in High Point Equestrian Estates. This fully furnished home is a 7,000-squarefoot country home on 1st Avenue in Langley. The two-storey estate comes complete with a games and theatre room, a great room, a large patio and two decks that boast a view of Mount Baker, and a brand new Audi A5 parked in the garage. Winners of this lottery don’t have to settle for the glamorous country estate. If they’re more the city-slicker

eople who dream of livening-up winter meals by adding a few fresh herbs can do just that by growing them in pots on windowsills in winter. Shade-tolerant herbs like mint, chervil, and parsley are the easiest to start with, because they’ll accept even a north window. Mediterranean herbs, such as rosemary, oregano, and thyme are fussier. For them, a south or west win-

dow can work well in early and late winter, especially if windows are kept sparkling clean outside and inside and the weather is unusually sunny. But in mid-winter, as day-length shortens, sunloving herbs and even those that prefer shade may look unwell, become long and spindly, then stop growing. This is a typical response of many indoor plants during late December and January. Growth resumes as daylength increases. Some gardeners continue snipping herbs until the plants are little stubs, others let them rest, while a few people put them under a fluorescent grow-light for a few weeks. Not everyone realizes rosemary makes a beautiful year-round houseplant, especially if you select a compact kind such as ‘Blue Boy,’ which can reach 60 centimetres (24 inches) – but usually doesn’t if there’s a cook in the house. Thyme and oregano can also grow for long periods indoors in south windows. All the sun-loving herbs will grow one-sidedly unless they’re turned frequently. Sage could make a useful houseplant, but for most of us in southwest B.C. there’s not much point, since the basic sage (Salvia officinalis) and also ‘Berggarten Sage’ are winterhardy.
In the Garden by Anne Marrison
Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca
Mint has low light requirements, but is very susceptible to drying out. It also needs to be kept well-nourished, moist, and misted frequently. All the shadetolerant herbs need moisture and misting to counteract the dry air and high temperatures inside homes. Vapourisers and standing the pots on pebbles above water-filled trays adds humidity to the air. A lidless saucepan of water on low heat could be a handy source of humidity, but is only truly safe for gardeners who would never go out and leave it. Gardeners with mint growing outside can easily dig up some roots and wash them clean of garden earth (which may contain slug eggs or other pests)
then repot in houseplant potting mix that includes organic fertilizer, either liquid or granular. Chives do well with similar treatment. But here it’s best to have two pots going – one for the early winter while the other goes dormant outside. The pots can be switched in the week after Christmas. Suddenly, the dormant chives feel warmth, moisture, and naturally increasing light, and decide spring must have arrived early. Their growth is usually prompt and sustained. Parsley is hardy outside through mild frosts, but by late December is usually sleeping. Since it has a taproot, transplanting will be successful only with very young plants. But gardeners who think ahead and grow windowsill parsley in pots from seed can enjoy parsley through the entire winter. Basil can be a problem. Even a south window doesn’t give basil all the sun it needs, and taking garden basil plants into the house is not a smart option. Whitefly loves basil, but when it’s outside, natural predators deal with most problems. Inside, whitefly and many other pests quickly escalate out of control.

If the firefighters found a working smoke detector in the home, the pizza was free. If not, they installed one. All five alarms checked were working.

Arts in brief
by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com
F
or the third year in a row, the Canadian Cancer Society is partnering with Thunderbird Show Park to host the Jeans & Gems barn dance this weekend. Guests are encouraged to kick up their heels at this fundraiser, which organizers describe as a non-traditional gala held in – you guessed it, a barn. This is typically a more fun, rather than stodgy event complete with games, live and silent auctions, food, beverages, and the musical stylings of Dr. Strangelove. Tickets are $25 and available from the Canadian Cancer Society office at 604-5330822, the show park at 604-888-4585, or by emailing stoddbooth@bc.cancer.ca. The second annual gala and barn dance raised more than $70,000, up about $10,000 from the inaugural event in 2008, and organizers are hoping to top that tally in 2010. This event replaced the former Evening to Remember, which ran for about eight years and spotlighted groups like Loverboy, Bachman Turner Overdrive, and Three Dog Night, as well as entertainers like Sarah McGlaughlin and Colin James.
Blues man visits Abbey
L
ooking for some good music? Colin James is coming for an up-close and personal concert in the neighbouring community of Abbotsford later this month. The Canadian blues legend is performing at the Abbey Arts Centre on Tuesday, Oct. 19. Tickets are $39.50 and available from TicketMaster outlets.
Food star stops in Langley
T
elevision star Bob Blumer is making an appearance in Langley this week, to teach a cooking class, promote his show Glutton for Punishment, and sell copies of his new recipe book Glutton for Pleasure. Blumer, who is host of his own TV series, will lead a class on Wednesday, Oct. 13 at the Well Seasoned gourmet food store on the Langley Bypass. The event runs 7 to 9:30 p.m. and will include Blumer offering demonstrations of a few recipes from his new book. He’ll also share stories from his 20 years as the “adventure-hunting, Guinness World record-breaking, punishment-seeking” Surreal Gourmet. In his previous show, The Surreal Gourmet, Blumer trekked across North America in his Toastermobile, a transformed Airstream trailer made to look like a giant toaster. This Gemini award–winning program is still in syndication in more than 25 countries. Now in its fifth season, his new show Glutton for Punishment can be seen on the Food Network and Food Network Canada and on stations in more than 30 countries around the globe. Blumer is known for using common ingredients to make whimsical food creations. Lamb cupcakes, dishwasher salmon, and coconut-shrimp lollypops are just some of his signature dishes. This playful approach to cooking, along with his accessible recipes and helpful hosting tips, have made him a Food Network staple for more than a decade. And now he’s in Langley – for one night only.

A series of painters came together to paint outside during last weekend’s Apple Day.
D
erby Reach Regional Park, the mighty Fraser River, and even a wedding served as an ideal backdrop for a team of 20 local artists who headed outdoors to paint last Saturday. Held in conjunction with the fifth annual Heritage Apple Day at the park, a series of plein air artists took advantage of the warm autumnal day to create and socialize. “We had about 20 artists painting, with the promise of more next year,” said participating artist Alfonso Tejada. “It was a beautiful day, and we

have the best company we can have – that of other friendly and warm fellow artists willing to share their time and expertise. “I learn much more about myself every time that I paint with others and
it is not the product of my work it is rather the synergy of been there and live that experience with others.” He noted that several artists have already vowed to return next year to create under the autumn sun.

Langley Advance
Junior A hockey
Always a Chief: forward’s dream comes true Learning he would be a Langley Chief was ‘the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life,’ said the team’s former stick boy Darnell Dyck. by Tyler Olsen
Postmedia Network Inc.
Like many Chilliwack minor hockey players growing up in the ’90s, Darnell Dyck grew up idolizing the Chilliwack Chiefs. Many youngsters grow up dreaming to be a Maple Leaf, a Canadien or a Canuck. Darnell’s goal was always to be a Chief. “All those guys were my heroes, I wanted to be just like them,” he says today. Darnell didn’t just love the Chiefs; for more than a decade he was a Chief. In 1994, after his father, Barry Douglas, began doing play-by-play for the Chiefs and hosting a show for Shaw TV, the chief Chief, head coach Harvey Smyl, welcomed Douglas and his young son into the tight-knit Chiefs family. There they remained for more than a decade. So when Darnell, now 19, learned last month that he would finally wear the Chiefs’ jersey in a real game, he was speechless and stunned. He remembers taking the call from Smyl and learning he would be a Chief; “It was the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life,” he told the Langley Advance’s sister paper in Chilliwack. But it was such a blur that he doesn’t recall what Smyl told him, or what he said in response. Smyl remembers a little better: “I just told him that he’s where he’s supposed to be. He’s coming to a situation, a hockey team that he belongs on and should have been on from the get go. He is here now, he belongs here and is well deserving.” The response? “Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.”
To fully grasp the importance of the call, you have to go back to the era of Peter Zurba and the Centennial Cup-winning Chilliwack Chiefs. Douglas was a single father juggling family life, a job at the radio station, and play-by-play duties with the Chiefs. So he asked Smyl if he could bring Darnell to the rink. He ended up bringing the Chiefs to his son. “I remember [Peter Zurba] coming to my house and them reading bedtime stories,” remembers Douglas. “That’s how tight we were. The guys would come by and hang out.” (Darnell’s favourite books followed a team of young hockey players who encountered danger while skating to victory around the world.) Smyl and Douglas became fast friends, as did their sons. In Grade 2 or 3, Darnell became an instant hit with his classmates at F.G. Leary elementary school when he brought along Smyl for show-and-tell. Later Darnell would become Vancouver Canuck farmhand Jeff Tambellini’s “guardian angel,” a program through which fans partner up with a player and exchange gifts. As Smyl would say a decade later, “The kid, he has a Chief tattooed on his heart.” Near the end of practices, Darnell would frequently hit the ice alongside the older, and larger Chiefs. On road trips, he would climb aboard the team bus. Smyl remembers Darnell starting at the front of the bus but, as he got older, moving further and further back, towards the players. By the time he reached his early teens, “Darny” – as he had been nicknamed by Smyl – had become the Chiefs’ stick boy.
Two years ago Smyl thought Darnell needed more seasoning in junior B before making the now-Langley Chiefs. The Surrey Eagles – the Chiefs’ archrivals – thought otherwise and snatched up the 6’2” player. Playing as a 17-year-old Darnell would score four goals that year, the first against Harvey Smyl’s Chiefs. “It was really weird playing against them,” Darnell said of that first game against Langley. The following year he was traded to the Trail Smoke Eaters, for whom he scored 14 goals. But Trail struggled and this June, Darnell was again dealt in a five-player trade to the Brooks Bandits in Alberta. Darnell, though, didn’t want to leave B.C., and asked the coach there to transfer his rights Troy Landreville/Langley Advance back to the west coast. Since joining the Langley Chiefs near the start of the British Columbia Hockey League For months, Smyl worked season, Darnell Dyck has enjoyed scoring success while playing on a line with Josh Myers behind the scenes to land the rights to his old stick boy. and Matt Ius (background left and right). Finally, on Sept. 9, the old He was still living and dying tunities at the rep level,” said coach called “Darny” to tell him with the Chiefs, but now he Smyl. that he was a Chief, again. stood on the bench.

‘Darny’ shoots for top-six status …continued from page A34 Prior to the game, Douglas – who has been receiving congratulatory emails from ex-Chiefs – had predicted tears. When the moment came, it didn’t disappoint the proud father, despite the losing outcome of the game. “The result wasn’t what we wanted but it was a very, very proud moment to see him skate onto the ice as a Chief,” Douglas said. “There were definitely some emotions.” Darnell, ultra-competitive as always, was dejected about the loss following the game. The following day, he said the moment was exhilarating, but also a relief. Now, having achieved his decade-long hockey dream, Darnell has set ambitious new goals for himself. Despite having never scored more than 30 points in a BCHL season, he’s aiming to double that number and earn a Division 1
Langley Cribbage League Scores as of Sept. 30 Milner 19, Fort Langley 17 Harmsworth 18, Murrayville 18 Willoughby 18, Langley 18
scholarship with a major American university. Smyl noted that to be a top-six forward in the BCHL, his young charge will need to play a more consistent game and put the puck in the net on a regular basis. Heading into Thursday’s (last night’s) game versus the Surrey Eagles, Dyck has scored four goals and accumulated nine points in eight games, playing on a line with Matt Ius (who is tied for the BCHL scoring lead) and Josh Myers.
There are still about 50 games to play… defenders to check… buses to ride… pucks to shoot. But after making one dream come true, one gets the sense, Darnell isn’t about to let a little thing like a goaltender get in his way. The Chiefs return to the Langley Events Centre Saturday to host Coquitlam at 7 p.m. Results from last night’s Chiefs/ Eagles game weren’t available due to Thursday press deadlines.

Coyotes claw past TWU A third period goal by Okanagan College forward Brock Munro handed the Trinity Western University men’s hockey team its first loss of the 2010/11 season. Munro’s goal, Saturday night in Kelowna, gave the hometown Coyotes a 3-2 victory which improved Okanagan’s B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League record to 2-1. The Spartans fell to 1-1 in BCIHL league play, and 2-1 overall. “It was a good game. Our guys battled and played well, but they came out on top. We were tied going into the third and whoever got the next goal was going to win it,” TWU head coach Dwayne Lowdermilk said. Next up for the Spartans are two home games at the Langley Events Centre. Tonight (Friday) the Spartans will host Eastern Washington University, with opening puck drop scheduled for 7 p.m. Then the Spartans will be back at it in BCIHL play Saturday afternoon when they will have a rematch with the Okanagan Coyotes at 2 p.m. • More online at www.langleyadvance.com, click on “Sports”

North Langley Minor Football
Busy day for Bears North Langley Bears teams clashed with football foes from both sides of the Fraser River on Saturday. Most of the Bears teams played host to teams from Abbotsford at McLeod Athletic Park, while the flag Bears hosted Chilliwack and the atom Bears crossed the Golden Ears Bridge to take on Meadow Ridge. Bantam Down 22-0 at halftime, the Bears dug in their claws during the second half, out-scoring the combined Mission-Abby team 21-6 after the break. The comeback attempt fell just short, as MissionAbby eked out a 28-21 victory. The Bears offence chewed up yardage in the first half, but was plagued by more than a half-dozen quarterback sacks. Even early in the second half, Bears’ quarterback Braeden Pritchard got sacked several times. However, the Bears’ defence kept the North Langley squad in it, and the offence drove the length of the field on runs by Pritchard and Mook
Kim, as well as a catchand-run by David Fredo, who was the victim of an illegal tackle. The penalty moved the ball to the five-yard line, and Kim ran it in for a major score. Kim also kicked the extra point. Later, the Bears recovered a Mission-Abby fumble and two downs later, Pritchard tore down the field 30 yards to the Mission-Abby 25-yard line. Luke Wildeman scored on the next play, driving through a nice hole opened up by Bears’ lineman Alec Robertson. Wildeman shook two defenders off his back as he ran into the end zone. Mission-Abby threatened again after that, but the Bears defence halted the advance at their own 18yard line. That set up the longest yardage play of the game, as Kim rambled 80 yards to position the Bears for their third touchdown, run in several plays later by Kim himself. After the touchdown, Fredo connected with Pritchard for a two-point conversion.

A determined Bears’ defence kept the game close, with key tackles by Evan York, an interception by Adrian Clements, and strong tackling by Sam Cleary, Eric Boomars, Alex Malin, Kim, Nathan Hutton, Clements, Wildeman, Pritchard, and Fredo. Boomars also succeeded in knocking the ball away from a would-be MissionAbby receiver. Flag Versus the Chilliwack Giants, Bears Team One was led by quarterbacks Jacob Evans and Brian Pol. The Bears suffered their first loss of the season, falling 21-14. The Bears bounced back the next game to blank the Giants by a 7-0 score.

Langley Minor Football
Stamps blank Spartans The Langley Stampeders have extended their undefeated season to five games and now sit at the top of the Vancouver Mainland Football League midget division standings. This, after the Stamps visited the Victoria Spartans Sunday and came away with a 14-0 victory. The Spartans, with cuts from the B.C. junior league Victoria Rebels in their lineup, gave the Langley visitors all they could handle. With the VMFL’s secondrated defence, the Spartans stopped the Stampeders on their opening three possessions. On Langley’s fourth possession things finally got rolling, after fullback Cory Constantin ripped off a 62yard run for a major in the second quarter. The Stampeders’ defence was equally stingy, holding the Spartan offence to six first downs all game while creating six turnovers. Charles Scott, Cody Thompson, Mack Cook, and Luke Andrews all recovered fumbles to thwart Victoria drives. Linebackers Trevor Crofton and Andrew Toth as well as defensive linemen Mike Rai and Cook
had strong games stopping the Spartans’ running attack. The Langley offence moved the ball well, led by running backs Matt Berg, Jorge Valle, and Ryan Wakeham. Slotbacks Andrews and Tyler Hanson had key catches and runs to keep Stamps’ drives alive. Quarterback Cody Nelson played a flawless game, completing three passes for 74 yards and running the ball for 23 more yards, with no interceptions or turnovers. In the third quarter the Stamps marched the ball to the Spartan’s three-yard line but were stopped shy of scoring. On his team’s next possession, Constantin scored on a 33-yard run to seal the Langley win. The Stampeders’ next game is Monday when they visit the Richmond Raiders at Minoru Park in Richmond. Kickoff is 2:30 p.m. Bantam Mustangs A balanced offensive attack and an opportunistic defence lifted the Mustangs to a 47-0 drubbing of the Cloverdale Leopards Sunday at Cloverdale Athletic Park.
The Mustangs are now a 5-0 to kick off their season. The Mustangs opened the scoring when Jeremy McLean hauled in a Cory McMurchy pass and scampered 22 yards for the first touchdown of the game. Langley increased its lead to 14-0 before the end of the first quarter, on a 43-yard touchdown pass from McMurchy to Ben Ferguson. The second quarter featured a pair of Mustangs interceptions: one by Cole Issacson and the other by McMurchy. The Mustangs offence was able to capitalize both times in the red zone, with a 10-yard touchdown run by Joseph Carter and a 23yard touchdown reception by McLean pushing the Mustangs’ lead to 26-0. A nine-yard touchdown run by Reagan Doucette with time ticking down in the first half increased Langley’s lead to 33-0 by halftime. The second half saw the continuation of the dominating play by the Mustangs offence and defence. Looking to spark a little life in their team, the Cloverdale offence looked to the air to get back into the game.
However, the Langley defence shut them down at every turn, highlighted by Issacson’s second interception of the game and Ryan Porteous’s second pick-off of the season. And when the Leopards tried to run the ball, the Mustangs’ run defence was solid, limiting Cloverdale’s offence to a handful of first downs all game. Ryan Pinter and Brayden Norcliffe led the Mustangs, who also received key takedowns by Seth Lavigne, Jake Kulak, and Dallas Korfman. Langley rounded out their scoring with a pair of touchdown runs in the fourth quarter. Eric Brown powered his way in from 10 yards out to increase Langley’s lead to 40-0, and Pinter closed out the scoring on the day with a 39-yard run. The Mustangs will look to continue their winning ways on Thanksgiving Monday as they host the 05 North Surrey Panthers. Kickoff is 2:30 p.m. at McLeod Athletic Park. • More online at www. langleyadvance.com, click on “Sports”

Cancer June 21-July 22: Home, family, security are still of prime importance. And romance, creativity, charming kids, pleasure, beauty, speculative risks still run a close second. A “prodigal child” might return in the next three months. Sunday morning, mid-day are romantic, in a friendly but sexy way. Tackle chores this eve to Tuesday. You’ll get a lot done – but watch safety Tuesday eve. Relationships erect barriers Wednesday/Thursday, so be diplomatic. It’s nothing major. Sexual urges, financial inspirations/hunches, life’s depths and mysteries arise Friday/Saturday. Invest passively, pay debts. Research! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: What’s slow is difficult; what’s quick is easy. In the house, with family, be flexible, long-suffering, affectionate. Outside the house, follow your curiosity – it can lead you to valuable information, even to new friends. (Now to next March, you might make a friend who is surrounded by, or has an element of, mystery. This person can offer nuggets of little-known information, but don’t follow his/her advice about money or business.) Rest early Sunday. This eve to Tuesday brings romantic urges — and insights. Tackle chores midweek. Exciting meetings, fresh horizons Friday onward! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Chase money. Buy/sell, seek new clients, ask for a pay raise or extra hours (especially Friday/Saturday). Generally this is an easy, sensual week. Sunday morning’s very friendly. Both opportunity and opposition occur Monday/Tuesday – say yes to real estate, security, home, no to health or work themes. Romance, pleasure, sports, creative projects and charming kids fill Wednesday/ Thursday – nighttimes best, mid-afternoons worst. Tackle chores Friday onward. A former opportunity returns to you now to mid-November. Be ready to “work it” December/January. Might involve property, relocation.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent continues on relationships – and opportunities. Last summer’s taste of luck and freedom will return as a full meal the first five months of 2011. But until then you have a number of duties – at least two major ones – to clear up. These are not mere “chores” – they entail an obligation, a social or sacred trust. They likely involve a legal, love or international affair, or a religious, intellectual, educational or publishing matter. Clues, reminders come Sunday to Tuesday. Be ambitious, reliable midweek, but don’t seek agreement. Social delights, love, happiness Friday/Saturday! Taurus April 20-May 20: Two weeks remain of drudgery and health concerns. Soon you’ll be free to give your full attention to the social and romantic hints you’ve been picking up, and the opportunity of these will last until then. Meanwhile, knuckle down to work. Sunday’s social and intriguing – perhaps with someone ”higher up.” But this eve and Monday/ Tuesday bring heavier themes: sex, intimacy, privacy, research, finances, commitment. (Don’t feel you have to commit, though.) Understanding, a mellow mood enters midweek. Be ambitious Friday/Saturday: prospects look good for a new project. Gemini May 21-June 20: The emphasis remains on romance, creativity, risk and reward, pleasure, beauty and charming kids. This isn’t the easiest week, but there are no major obstacles, either. Tackle chores Sunday a.m. – clear the decks for some evening explorations, bids or opportunities. Partnerships and marriage haven’t been easy since 2003, and won’t be this autumn/winter – nor Tuesday p.m. But next March starts eight years of peace, harmony, friendliness and interest in relationships. Loneliness will flee! Be patient, flexible until then. Depths, mystery, sexual and financial attractions mid-week.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness remain high. Start important projects, insist on your way, ask favours, and make personal appearances. Shop Sunday morning (especially for high-tech). This afternoon through Tuesday brings paperwork, communications, errands, casual acquaintances – busyness. Your home life, your security, and real estate, become important midweek. It’s a splendid time to institute your own schedules, priorities, to end some situations and lay the groundwork for the new. Romance visits Friday/ Saturday. Before 2011, new romance is not the “marrying kind.” Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Continue to take a restful, contemplative approach. Your energy levels are low. Still, there’s a lot of important work to be done, so do it. Important because either a) you’re the only one who can do it; or b) it promises to “almost directly” advance your own goals. Someone might be “sweet” on you – be kind, but gently evasive. Chase money, buy/sell, Sunday eve to Tuesday. Communicate – but carefully – Wednesday/Thursday. Drive carefully, too. Be alert, because events are faster now than you are. Retreat to home ground for some deep, rejuvenating rest Friday/Saturday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent lies on wish fulfilment, popularity, entertainment, social delights and group efforts. Visualize your future, make optimistic plans. You might be experiencing a clandestine attraction – this has little beneficial impact, and could hinder future love, which would be a shame, as the first half of 2011 holds the promise of splendid romantic beginnings! (If you’re married, 2011 will bring creative and similar successes.) Sleep in Sunday morning. This p.m. (through Thursday) your energy soars – tackle big things, enjoy the attention! Buy/sell midweek. Errands, Friday/Saturday.

Oct. 10 - Oct. 16 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Be ambitious. Think about future paths, possibilities Sunday morning. Then spend this p.m. through Tuesday evening in rest, planning, research, preparation and dealings with “permission agencies” (government, institutions, “head office”). (Attend to health issues, also.) Charge forth Wednesday/Thursday – ask favours, ask to see important people, make presentations, initiate projects. You’ll succeed! Money’s the subject (and object) Friday/Saturday. All month, your hopes are tied up with love and work. A co-worker romance might be growing more serious. There’s no harm in this! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: A sweet, mellow, easy week, with a focus on intellectual interests, far travel, education, publishing, culture and love. (These slow mildly to late 2012.) Perform a money chore Sunday morning. Your optimism and popularity surge this eve to Tuesday. Accept and issue invitations, envision the future and sign on for entertainment. A wish might come true (perhaps not a romantic one). Rest, retreat Wednesday/Thursday. Plan and contemplate, think about your shifting spiritual and charity beliefs. Your energy and charisma return strongly Friday/Saturday. Romance is a definite maybe. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The accent lies on mystery, depths, lust, big finances, subconscious urges, lifestyle changes, deep health factors, commitment and consequence. These deep currents are overlaid with a romantic, loving, and “intellectually beautiful” atmosphere. It could be the right time to say “Yes” to someone or something! (Though, frankly, there’s no rush – next week’s good also, as is most of the rest of 2010.) Be ambitious Sunday eve to Tuesday. Wishes can come true Wednesday/Thursday, though it’s more likely you’ll simply experience optimism and quiet social joys. Retreat, rest Friday/Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Ryan Forsythe worked on the raised crosswalk at 207th Street, beside Parkside Centennial elementry school. The Township of Langley’s engineering division has implemented traffic calming measures in different neighbourhoods, for the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and strollers.
The focus is on areas where there is a lot of pedestrian and cyclist activity, such as schools and parks, and most places targeted for traffic calming have a posted 30 km/h speed limit. To be considered for traffic calming, an area must meet criteria which include its volume of traffic, crash history, whether it is a bus or emergency access route, how the road is designated, and the facilities it has in place, such as sidewalks and bike lanes. Public consultation and feedback are a large part of the traffic calming process, and support from 51 per cent of affected residents is

However, traffic calming measures are made based on budgeting and resources, and simply can’t be implemented everywhere. Therefore, drivers are urged to use common sense. “Everyone is busy and always looking for a shortcut, but you have to respect the people who live, walk, play, and ride in the area that you are driving through,” Cordeiro said. “Safety has to come first.” For more on traffic calming, visit the Township of Langley’s website at tol.ca, go to Residents, look under Transportation and Roads, and click on “Traffic Safety.”

Prior to the meeting, Schuurman hoped people in the neighbourhood will come out and have their say. There are currently 50 requests for traffic calming in the Township, all of which must be assessed and prioritized.

they pried from the tree before cutting it down. Perhaps if logging doesn’t work out, the logger could find a job in the tourism industry. The City of Langley and the Township of Langley have talked about amalgamation in the past. Those talks somehow seem to break down into some sort of slap fest, akin to a Three Stooges skit, with the Township unwilling to subsidize City folk and their fancy electric light bulbs. The equally unbendable City won’t pay for the extra road maintenance, and wonders why the Township just can’t
Horse still flogged at intersection
Dear Editor, I have to keep flogging the same horse, as it isn’t dead yet. Will the powers that be please admit that the westbound left turn-only lane at 56th Avenue and Langley Bypass is a very poor design that causes lengthy back-ups for the vast majority of vehicles that don’t want to turn left at that intersection?

It seemed unlikely that somewhere in Prince George a logger was performing his own happy dance because the government was poised to sink millions into a transit system to nowhere.

SkyTrain elation crashed into reality Dear Editor, When Premier Gordon Campbell confirmed the Evergreen SkyTrain line will start construction in 2011, and it will be extended to Langley, I cavorted around the living room in a spontaneous happy dance on par with the best end-zone shuffles. However, my giddy jig was halted by the cruel reality of daylight. You see, “Langley” as a place does not exist. Langley City does, and so does the Township of Langley, but there is no one place, no defined geographical area called “Langley.” I slumped into the
