Blaze levels mushroom barn No one was hurt in a fouralarm blaze on 256th Street. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A sizeable mushroom barn was destroyed by fire early Thursday morning in rural Langley Township. At about 3:45 a.m. firefighters were alerted that the barn, located close to 256th Street and 64th Avenue, was ablaze. The first firefighters on the scene immediately called for backup to keep the fire from spreading to two houses on the property, said District Chief Russ Jenkins. In all, four firehalls and 25 firefighters spent the early morning hours extinguishing the fire. “It was a defensive attack right from the start,” Jenkins said. There was no chance to save the main barn, which was reduced to a smoking pile of rubble by dawn. Firefighters spent hours putting out spot fires, and were hoping to begin an investigation into the cause by mid-day Thursday. There were several people living in the homes on the land, but everyone was accounted for. No people or animals were thought to be in the barn. As of press time, it was too early to suggest a possible cause for the fire, Jenkins said.

Langley Township and Quadra Homes have come up with a land deal that saves taxpayers money and provides amenities sooner than normal around the 1,600 unit strata complex being built in Willoughby. Quadra has started building on land between 208th and about 206th Streets from about 82nd Avenue to 84th Avenue. Quadra started acquiring land in 2007 and started working with the Township on planning. They’ve submitted the paperwork to the province that would see Quadra provide 10 acres (five for parks and five for a school) to the Township for about one quarter of market value. “We fronted the money for the purchase of the school and park site, and we will be reimbursed over time by the Township as we build our project,” explained Quadra vice president Shawn Bouchard. He said the deal also means the community will get a rebuilt 208th Street beside the project and sidewalks sooner rather than

A Langley firefighter wants to break a record and, in the process, raise funds for burned children. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Mike Miskulin doesn’t shrink from a physical challenge, whether on or off the job. The full-time Langley Township firefighter works out five days a week, rows with a Vancouver club, and runs the Grouse Grind three times a week. “I like to push myself,” Miskulin told the Langley Advance this week. But lately he’s been feeling a bit more pressure than usual, from two fronts. First, he’s pledged to attempt to break the speed record for conquering the Grouse Grind, a record that was only set a month ago. Second, he wants to raise $10,000 for the BC Children’s Hospital’s Grind for the Kids. As a firefighter, Miskulin’s funds will, of course, benefit the burn unit in particular. Miskulin has been running the Grind for the past three years, and it’s become a passion of his. This year, he’s run it about three times a week since its June opening, or about 80 times in total. That’s 80 times running up the 853-metre high course, composed of 2,830 stairs. “The Grind to me is a fitness thing,”

sands of stairs. One section in particular, about halfway to the top, is his personal nemesis. “It beats me down. It’s a section that’s always in the back of my mind,” he said. On the day he spoke to the Advance, he was happy that he had blasted through the worst section in good time. When he started mentioning his intention to go for the record around the firehall, it was fellow firefighter Andy Hewitson who suggested turning it into a fundraiser. “As soon as we mentioned it to Mike, he was ecstatic to turn his personal objective into something to benefit the kids,” Hewitson said. “Obviously, this is not just a personal thing for me anymore,” Miskulin said. Beating the current record won’t be easy. The fastest time from bottom to top of the Grouse Grind is 23 minutes 58 seconds, a record set in August. As far as raising the money, Miskulin is already well on the way to his goal. He got a big boost from the Super Save Group, which donated $5,000 in honour of his record-setting attempt. The Township firefighters have also donated about $1,600 to date. “I’m getting amazing support from the Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance fire department,” Miskulin said.

Willoughby condos grow to five storeys More floor space and another storey could be added to a major development. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A group of condos planned for Willoughby could be taller and larger when built, as the developers seek larger unit sizes. On Monday, Langley Township council debated allowing an upcoming condo complex to expand from four to five storeys tall. That would fit with recent changes to the provincial building code allowing taller woodframed condos. The change wouldn’t increase the number of condo units on the site.

“The added floor space will not result in any additional dwellings but will result in generally larger units, and more diversity in the types of units available,” said a Township staff report. Several types of condos will see small boosts in size, and the number of one-bedroom units smaller than 600 square feet will be decreased from 216 to 128. The change would affect up to 688 units of the more than 1,400 apartment and townhouse units planned for a sprawling development to the west of 208th Street between 80th and 84th Avenues. Shawn Bouchard of Quadra Homes said the firm is done with building small condo units. In the middle of the decade, Quadra planned and built projects such as Paddington Station

in Langley City, which had units as small as 460 square feet. “We’ve completely abandoned that, because they’re just too small,” Bouchard said. The majority of buyers, about 95 per cent according to Bouchard, were investment buyers, who would then rent the units to students or other young adults. Since the recession and credit crunch hit in 2008, those investors have vanished. People buying condos now are buying them to live in, and they want more space. The condos in the new Willoughby project will be between 550 square feet, selling for about $170,000, to 1,400 square feet with lofts, selling for about $330,000. Quadra has never built condos

larger than 1,000 square feet in this area before, Bouchard said. Councillors had a few of questions about a larger building, regardless of whether the number of units remains the same. Councillor Charlie Fox wanted to know if the Willoughby Fire Hall will be able to tackle fires on six-storey structures. “Our equipment is good for this level and somewhat higher,” said Township administrator Mark Bakken. Councillor Kim Richter voted against the rezoning, saying that five to six storey structures don’t fit in with the neighbourhood. A future public hearing will allow the public to have its say about the proposed height change, before the council makes a final decision.

TransLink has given up trying to sell the Albion ferries, and will be sending them to the scrapheap instead. The transit authority is not wasting time now that a decision has been made, and will proceed as soon as possible. “As soon as we can make arrangements with a scrap dealer to take them and break them up,” said Ken Hardie, a TransLink spokesperson.

Hospitals may be off limits, but Langley Township councillors are fine with taxing a distribution centre. The Fraser Health Authority had asked for a tax exemption for a distribution centre it owns in Willoughby’s industrial district near 200th Street. The centre isn’t a hospital or pharmacy, but stores and distributes medical supplies for hospitals all over the health region.

Several councillors questioned why they should give up $163,000 in property taxes for a facility that doesn’t directly benefit Langley residents. Councillor Bob Long suggested cutting the tax exemption in half. “It’s a business, it’s a distribution centre,” said Coun. Kim Richter, who didn’t even want to give the facility a 50 per cent exemption. Mayor Rick Green called the tax exemption a case of higher levels of government downloading their costs onto municipalities. After some discussion, the council scrapped the idea of a 50 per cent exemption, and voted to give no exemption at all for the next year. Fraser Health will pay ordinary property taxes on its site.

The reason is the slowly climbing costs of keeping the ferries in good running order. “Every month that goes by we were incurring fixed costs,” Hardie said. The ferries had to be kept fueled, oiled, and in working condition so they were in good shape for a possible sale. That gobbled up fuel and maintenance costs. Hardie said that, looking at the state of the market, it seemed there was little chance of someone buying the ferries. If, at the last minute, someone wants to buy one or both of the 25-car vessels, TransLink is still open to suggestions. The ferries were built in 1972. TransLink wanted to sell them for about $1 million each.

‘Wow’ factor evident at bedroom makeover reveal

A young family was appreciative of more than $3,000 worth of renovations to their master bedroom. by Heather Colpitts and Troy Landreville news@langleyadvance.com

Hayley Nimmo has every right to be tired as the mother of two young boys, including one special needs child. As well, she created and ran the Families in Touch (FIT) Network to help families with special needs children connect,

share, and learn from and with each other. So when she saw a contest in which the grand prize was a $3,000 bedroom makeover, she started dreaming of what it would mean to her family. “We are a one-income family – as such we never feel that we have the money to spend on ourselves, especially for bedroom furniture,” Hayley said of her and husband Mike in their application letter for the contest. Her eldest child, Beckem, is one of about 60 known cases worldwide of a rare genetic disorder. He cannot speak, wears a body cast, needs a wheelchair, and must be fed by tube.

Flip City tax break meets resistance Local non-profits were granted exemptions by the Township Monday. by Matthew Claxton

10157477

Langley Township council gave a number of tax exemptions to local charities, but a gymnastics group caused some discussion Monday night. Councillor Kim Richter opposed giving an

exemption to Flip City Gymnastics Club, which was one of several new non-profits added to the Townshipâ€™s exemption rolls this year. Charities and non-profits can be exempted from all or part of their property taxes under Township regulations. This was the first year Flip City was eligible. Township administrator Mark Bakken explained that Flip City started out as a for-profit venture. It

has now transformed itself into a not-for-profit with a board of directors, much like Langley Gymnastics. However, Richter objected to giving a tax exemption to a charity that already receives a gender equity grant from the Township. The council voted six to one in favour of granting the exemption. An Elks Lodge and the Langley Association for Community Living also received exemptions.

Council grapples with costs Langley City may have to postpone other projects after the 208th Street upgrade goes $1.2 million over budget.

The extensive roadwork done along 208th Street around 48th Avenue has come in more than $1 million over budget, leaving the City searching for ways to cover the extra costs. Heather Colpitts Langley Advance

because changes have already been made. Coun. Dave Hall still wants an external review and will be making a motion at the next council meeting, Nov. 1, to spend $20,000 from council’s Enterprise Fund for a consultant. He said he was concerned that council was being asked to pass a budget amendment Oct. 18 but before council makes a decision on whether to hire an outside expert. To make up the $1.2 million, the City is taking $772,000 from other areas in the budget, such as the water operating budget as well as using $192,000 saved from the Nicomekl sewer upgrade project recently done. The City was also able to take money saved on the paving for the 208th Street upgrade between 44th and 48th Avenues. The project was budgeted when gas was at an all-time high but when it came time to do the work, the price of oil, a key component needed for paving, had dropped significantly. The council did approve a budget amendment for $470,000 Monday evening, taking money away from a future road upgrade project.

Traffic entering the highway from the 152nd Street on-ramp will do so from the left, rather than the right as is currently the case. The total number of highway lanes will not change, and this detour will be in place for approximately one year. Signs will direct drivers to use the full length of available merge lanes, which will be lengthened, to keep traffic flowing and reduce congestion. To maintain safe traffic flow motorists are asked to watch for and obey all new directional signs and merge at the appropriate time. For more information, including a detailed map of these changes and samples of the new road signs, please visit the PMH1 Project web site at www.pmh1project.com, call 1 866 999-7641(PMH1) or e-mail info@pmh1project.com

Stayin’ alive Despite the uncharacteristically warm autumn we’ve enjoyed this year, winter is drawing inexorably near. If you’ve taken a trip into northern or interior parts of the province in the past week or so, you know what lies ahead. But then, if you’re an adult and have lived anywhere in Canada for a few years, you should have an idea that good weather never lasts forever. If you haven’t already prepared your vehicle – and yourself – for winter weather, now is a good time to get started. Ensuring you have adequate traction in snow isn’t just something to do to ensure you get where you are going. Your poor traction can be dangerous for vehicles around you, not to mention that you will likely slow or impede the progress of other motorists who have taken appropriate measures to prepare for winter. In that light, not being prepared turns out to be pretty selfish, as well as dangerous. So get a proper set of snow tires. Sure, out here on the “Wet Coast” we might escape with only a few inches of snow just a few times over the course of the season… but we can also host snowstorms that dump a half metre overnight. Most folks don’t realize that, as well as providing cold-weather traction, snow tires can actually increase stopping power by 25 per cent. That can translate into a considerable reduction in distance when the chips – and the snowflakes – are down. Again for comfort as well as safety, get your vehicle set up for the cold weather ahead – you really don’t want to stall out on a backroad on a cold, cold night. And while you’re at it, keep yourself in condition, too. If you don’t care about other people on the road, think of the new laws in B.C. that stiffen the penalties for speeding and drunk driving. Keep your mind on what you’re doing. Winter is a lot easier to take when you make it through alive. – B.G.

Terry Fox

Dear Editor, If Ms. Orleman is going to make an argument against honouring one of our country’s most beloved citizens by renaming Vancouver International Airport after Terry Fox [People names too confusing, Oct. 15 Letters, Langley Advance], it had better be well supported. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Arguing that significant public spaces should not be named after people, whether they be politicians or otherwise, makes little sense. Our country is built in large part on that tradition. In fact, the very name she prefers for our major international airport (Vancouver) is that of a British explorer. And while I agree that naming international airports after their geographical location is a fine, if uninspired and dull way to go, referring to airports by their IATA codes is neither “perfect” nor “rational.” YVR may make some sense, but that is not always the case: YXX for Abbotsford International or YUL for Montreal’s Pierre Elliot Trudeau Airport (not PET, as Ms. Orleman suggests; flying to PET would mean a trip to Brazil). That’s not exactly the essence of unique simplicity. Rather than being known by their IATA codes, many famous airports have names different from the major cities they serve. I have flown into Narita and Heathrow, among others, and knew precisely where in the world I was, despite neither being named after Tokyo or London, respectively. I would hope that most travellers would have at least a vague idea of their destination, regardless of what the airport they land at is named. And despite claiming that she would like international airports to be named

after the cities in which they are situated, Ms. Orleman argues against Paris-Orly International Airport, which is so named because it is located partially in Paris and partially in the city of Orly, of all places. Yes, Terry Fox has had numerous honours bestowed upon him, and without question he deserves every one. Would it be as appropriate to have the airport named for Rick Hansen or someone of similar stature? Certainly. But Ms. Orleman completely misses the point of naming significant public spaces in honour of people. While she complains that Terry Fox’s memory will “inevitably” fade, leading to the eventual irrelevance of the airport’s possible name, there is nothing inevitable about it. We honour our heroes in this way precisely because we want to promote their memory and legacy, and ensure that it does not fade. Hopefully, should Vancouver’s airport be named for Terry Fox, visitors to our beautiful province will ask about him when they arrive, as our children will continue to ask as they travel throughout B.C. and participate in their school’s Terry Fox Run, which takes place in nearly 30 countries around the world. Not only is Terry Fox’s name not in danger of fading from the local public consciousness, we have a duty to ensure that his legacy is forever-lasting, both here and the world over. So yes, name an airport for him, a hospital for Rick Hansen, a school for Craig and Marc Kielburger, and any number of public spaces for the vast number of great citizens and humanitarians, dead or alive, who hail from Canada, so that we may all remember and honour their contributions. S. Crowley, Aldergrove

Transportation

TransLink needs to learn ‘No’

Dear Editor, What is it that TransLink doesn’t understand about the word “NO”? I’m tired of subsidizing transportation in the Vancouver area, when we

get little to no service out here in Langley. Sheesh… I pay for TransLink in my taxes and in my Hydro bill, and who knows whatever else I’m paying into for TransLink,

Salesmanship

Language skills butchered Dear Editor, As a consumer who does business at a multitude of local businesses, I am becoming agitated at the phrases, “No worries,” and, “No problem,” after I thank the cashiers at the checkout stands upon completing a transaction. Since when was my patronage to these businesses a problem or something that either I or the retailer should be worried about? A simple, “You’re welcome,” or “Thank you,” would be a much better reply. Most of us part with thousands of dollars every year at local businesses. Why should a worry or problem be my last thought when leaving a store after parting with my hard-earned cash? In my work history of 28 years, I have held many positions in a multitude of fields, and currently sell products to many large retailers across North America. If I was to tell any one of these corporations that their business was “no problem” for me or answer “No worries” when they thank me for my efforts, I would likely not hold down the position I have. Merchants should please tell their staff to stop this butchering of language skills. A simple act of courtesy and polite respect for their customers will benefit them, believe me. Is anyone else out there disturbed by this issue? Let’s hear what they have to say. Jon Weenk, Aldergrove

and what do I get? I don’t have a bottomless pocket. I only have so much money to go around. I’m not prepared to pay any more property taxes for their pie-in-the-sky plans. They can’t even pay for the current services, so how can they make plans to do anything else? I live in Aldergrove and I can’t use the services here, as they are too sporadic and take far too long to get from A to B. Translink wants to build a “Canada Line-type” system to UBC. They already have the “B-line.” If they want better, then let the users pay for it. Same goes for SFU. And ski lifts… give me a break. They need to figure out how to use the dollars that they already have for a service that works and makes sense, then come back to the taxpayer and see if we are willing to help pay for it. It’s like shopping at a store: if you get poor service, you stop shopping there; if you get good service, you support the store. D.

Carl Korytko and his son Joel, who perform as TKO, brought their impressive guitar performance to the Heritage Matters concert in the Chief Sepass Theatre on Oct. 17. They were part of a diverse line-up of artists donating their time to help raise money for upgrades to Willoughby Community Hall. The evening also featured an auction of donated art, handmade socks, a boat cruise, and coveted tickets to the annual hall dinner later this month.

Halloween

New dance scares up fun Tickets are on sale for the first Spooktacular dinner dance Oct. 29. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Day in and day out, the folks at the Ishtar Transition Housing Society deal with some pretty intense issues. The society dedicated to helping victims of violence and to violence prevention is now looking to offer up some good ol’ Halloween fun by hosting the Spooktacular on Oct. 29 at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre. The “ghost spooker” that evening will be Dr. Laugh (a.k.a. Chris Johnson) and the Ray Myers R&B Band will keep people dancing at this adults-only event. “This night is all about fun,” said Ishtar executive director Dorothy McKim. People attending will get ballots to vote on the best costume and there will

be contest prizes as well as draws, door prizes and a silent auction of donated art at this dinner and dance. Works have been donated by Heidi Lambert, Darren Perkins, Perry Haddock, Jack Turpin, and Ron Hedrick. The menu will feature Halloween foods. “The chef is really creative with it,” she noted. While the event is all about fun, the results are a serious matter. The funds raised will go to programs such as women’s equine therapy and for children who witness violence. “One hundred per cent will go to programming,” McKim explained. “We are plagued with long waiting lists right now.” McKim noted that this is Ishtar’s first fundraiser in many years and they hope to make this an annual event. Tickets are $100 per person but they come with a $50 tax receipt. Call 604-534-1011 or to go the office at 6350 203rd St. for tickets.

Every kid needs a booster but for Douglas Park Community School students that booster comes between the pages of a book. The Booster Camp runs a couple of times each year when there are breaks in the school calendar. Douglas Park has a year-round calendar. Each multi-day camp has space for about 45 students. Booster Camp is for students in Grades 3-5 who need an extra dose of literacy learning, whether it’s because they are struggling with reading or are at risk of losing ground on the literacy skills they’ve achieved, explained Community School

The sign reads Fernfield Community Town Hall, an American flag flutters from an outside wall, and a U.S. sheriff’s patrol car sits in the parking lot. Fort Langley is again impersonating small town America. Fernfield’s town hall is played by the reliable Fort Langley Community Hall, and several heritage homes on Glover Road have been temporarily taken over as well. All the activity is part of a boost in filming activity that has hit Langley in recent weeks.

There’s going to be a gaping hole along the Langley Bypass soon. A swarm of recreational vehicles – at least those not sold during the current clearing out sale – are going to be driven off the O’Connor RV lot in Langley to their new home in Chilliwack some time in the next four weeks, said general manager Rod Siemens. O’Connor RV has been in business for more than 30 years, first started in Chilliwack during 1979, then expanded to Langley in 1996. Over the years, that Langley site has grown and expanded as neighbouring space came available. And when O’Connor’s shuts down in the next few weeks, it’s going to leave vacant a 2.7acre chunk sandwiched between the bypass and 62nd Avenue. Oct. 29 will be the last day of operations for the parts and service department in Langley, Siemens explained. Then, depending on how fast the remaining RVs fly off the lot, the sales department will be moving east to Chilliwack in what Siemens said would be four weeks at the outside. This is not an economically motivated decision, Siemens insisted. It’s not a downsizing. In fact, all 22 staff member from Langley have been promised a position in Chilliwack – if they want it, he explained. They’ll join the current team in Chilliwack that fluctuates between 28 and 35 people – depending on the time of year. No final decisions have been made yet as to whether or not the Chilliwack site will be physically expanded. But it’s possible as O’Connor positions itself to become the region’s mega RV shopping and service facility. What does that mean to you? Well, if you’re shopping for RVs, this might be a good time to stop in and check out the deals. I’m told there’s some pretty good bargains to be had.

Artists invited to display in unique space hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Most people walking through the doors of the Langley Centennial Museum would expect to find pieces of Langley’s past. But the museum in Fort Langley also makes history by introducing pieces of the present. Foyer space at the facility is devoted to art, as the museum tries to use new and innovative ways to entice people to come in, said curator Kobi Howard. The Foyer Art program is currently accepting applications from people wishing to display their art. “It’s a great opportunity for artists, particularly new artists, to get some exposure in the community, but to also gain insight into the exhibiting process,” she said. The sites are best suited to exhibit two-dimensional artwork, although threedimensional work may be considered. People interested have until Monday,

Oct. 25 to apply. While submissions are accepted from throughout the Lower Mainland, preference is given to Langley Township artists, and the pieces can’t have been shown in a juried exhibit or gallery in the past year. As well pieces created during formal art training courses are not eligible. Any work for consideration must be suitably framed/mounted and ready for hanging or exhibit. A jury committee goes over the submissions and decides which artists can exhibit. For this go-round, the space is being assigned from November 2010 to October 2011. “The museum hopes artists will be interested in the revived program, and plans to display the artists’ works in twomonth time slots,” she said For application information call 604888-3922, or email khoward@tol.ca.

Grave Tales Home of many

Don’t be afraid. The LSS haunted house will return next Halloween. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Parks Canada photos

There’s something awful creepy about the Fort Langley National Historic Site when the fall fog rolls in and the Grave Tale events are underway.

Fort Langley

Last chance to walk with the village’s dead

his weekend marks the last time – at least for this year – that locals can participate in the Fort’s annual Grave Tales. Given that it coincides with the haunting season, the Fort Langley National Historic Site’s annual walking tours prove incredibly popular with teens and adults alike who are willing to walk the streets

of the village and fort at night listening to tales of misfortune and gloom, said fort spokesperson Nancy Hildebrand. Costumed guides will take participants on a 90-minute “spine-chilling” tour of the former Hudson’s Bay trading post, the local cemeteries, and village streets, regaling true tales of love, mysterious burials, and old-school amputations. The Grave Tales walks cover stories of Hudson’s Bay Company

workers long dead, but still lingering, Hildebrand explained. “Take Louisa and William Emptage, for example. In the early morning some claim to have seen Louisa searching endlessly for William at the Fort Langley cemetery. If you don’t manage to glimpse these two, the tour ends back at Fort Langley National Historic Site in the supposedly most haunted building, home to a little boy ghost that just wants to play,” she said. After the walk, participants who

dare to stick around, are invited to warm up with a hot beverage and snack served within the old fort walls. These Grave Tales tours wrap up this weekend. They run Friday and Saturday nights at both 7 and 9 p.m., and Sunday at 7 p.m. Oct. 24 is the final day. Tickets are $13 and available online at www.pc.gc.ca/fortlangley, or by calling 604-513-4777. Discounts are available to annual pass holders.

he pipe that broke at the beginning of the year in Langley Secondary School didn’t just delay the start of school. It’s also scuttled the annual Halloween haunted house. “They are still making repairs to the lower wing of the school in the area we use to access the haunted house,” explained Kari Medos, a parent who has helped organize the fundraiser. As well, the students were looking forward to the annual tradition. “I already had a huge stack of volunteer forms from the kids and that made it all the more difficult when we learned we had to cancel,” she said. And the new attractions planned for this year will have to wait for 2011’s haunted house.

Arts in brief

Arts council announces manager’s leave of absence on eve of AGM

by Roxanne Hooper rhooper@langleyadvance.com

lison Brotherton has been executive director of the Langley Arts Council for several years now. But effective immediately, president Allan Thain announced she’s taking a six-month leave of absence. Don Shilton, a person with a “lengthy career” in public relations and business management, will be taking over as interim general manager, Thain said. This announcement comes on the eve of the arts council’s general meeting being held this weekend at the music school. In addition to the traditional elections, Thain, Shilton, and school board communications author Craig Spence, will also be leading a public relations workshop. “The workshop will outline the skills you need to better manage your public relations and your budgets during these lean economic times in the arts,” said Thain, who is also very active in local theatre. “We hope to cover a number of topics including the importance of the media re-

Fundraising buttons are now on sale at several local outlets. by Bethany Leng Special to the Langley Advance

But on Oct. 28, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation is hoping to see it a lot more pink. “I think it’s something They want to see that’s near and dear to pink socks, shirts, pants and bowties. all our hearts.” But first, they want PEGGY O’BRIEN to see a little pink button.

Since then she has chaired the Nite of Hope breast cancer fundraiser in Richmond for the past five years, and is now involved with rallying Postmedia Network’s community newspapers and Langley businesses to participate with Get Pink’d. They can purchase the buttons for their staff and/or sell them at their counters and some businesses are even donating some of their profits, she suggested. Langley’s Marble Slab Creamery, for instance, is not only donating $1 from every pink cone, cake, quart, or pint for the week of Oct. 22-28, they are also donating $1 from every cone, cake, quart or pint sold on Get Pink’d Day – regardless of colour. The Bedford House is donating 100 per cent of all dessert sales on Oct. 27 and 28. And, Frosting Cupcakery is donating $1 from each cupcake sold Oct. 23-28. “Everybody’s a little different,” said O’Brien. “That will add up.” The Get Pink’d event will conclude Breast Cancer Awareness month, which kicked off with the Run for the Cure on Oct. 3. To register for Get Pink’d, contact Nicola Houston at 604-6832873, or go online to www.cbcf.org/ bcyukon, or visit a local Buy-Low Foods between up until Oct. 28 to buy a Get Pink’d button.

“It works! I’ll take another two bottles please!” This coming from a customer who had tried every other natural remedy under the sun in the past few years to take away her pain. Ian, the owner of the health food store couldn’t believe his ears. He had ﬁ nally found the perfect product to stop his customer’s miseries. This is what every owner of a health food store dreams about, a natural product that receives so many outstanding testimonials on such a wide variety of health issues. “I had recommended a new product called LeafSource, which we recently started carrying. We have had tremendous success with this product, and almost everyone we have recommended it to over the last few months has come back and thanked us over and over again” said Ian.Before trying LeafSource, the woman had complained about her ongoing joint pain and was at her wit’s end. Although she had experienced some relief through the numerous natural remedies she had tried over the years, the pain would never fully go away. “She returned to my store, in tears, less than one week after buying LeafSource. I didn’t know what to make of this woman standing in front of me crying, until she told me that within a few days of taking LeafSource her pain started to disappear and within a week it was completely gone - as if it was never there.” Ian goes on, “This coming from a woman whose painful joints and ongoing sciatica were so bad just one week earlier, that the pain was unbearable but now has completely subsided.”By now you are probably wondering what is LeafSource and why is it so effective? LeafSource is a 100% natural product derived from a proprietary organic mineral composite with over ten years of university research. LeafSource helps regulate the inﬂammatory process and the body’s ability to repair itself. The vast majority (70 - 80%) of the population over the age of 50 have joint problems — often called osteoarthritis.

This is due to the natural (or unnatural) wear and tear on joint tissue that develops through the aging process. With joint infl ammation, movement is limited and pain can be constant. LeafSource seems to have the ability to help people get their mobility and zest for life back. Millions of people seek treatment for their joint and infl ammation problems by resorting to expensive, toxic prescription drugs (i.e. NSAIDs) with multiple side effects. These range from nausea and vomiting to serious intestinal disorders (bleeding, gas, pain) and even kidney and liver failure. Isn’t that too large a price to pay for a little pain relief!? LeafSource is a safe alternative to these destructive antiinfl ammatory drugs that cause more problems than they solve. There are absolutely no side effects and it doesn’t interfere with any other medications. Controlled experiments and observations have revealed that LeafSource is a potent anti-infl ammatory that has been shown to bring a reduction to infl ammation and pain within a few days. People notice great results in terms of more energy and less pain by taking anywhere from 2 to 6 capsules/ day. Typical maintenance is usually 1 capsule twice daily. This product gets results! LeafSource is scientifi cally validated through more than 10 years of research at 4 universities, including the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Mercer University. Aside from its incredible anti-infl ammatory and pain reducing ability, it has also been shown to improve the performance of your daily nutrition and vitamin programs. It helps increase the absorption of vital nutrients, which in turn helps these nutrients work better. Better absorption = better results! It’s almost as if they have

or the past seven years, local jazzercise enthusiasts have worked up a sweat over breast cancer. They take part in Jazz It Up for the Cure, the most recent one being held Oct. 16 all in the name of helping find a cure for this disease. Jazzercisers came out from around the region, including Langley, Fort Langley, and South Surrey. “Participants found their beat, pushed their bodies and sweated for a cure to raise funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation,” said Judy Griffiths, the owner of the franchise that hosted this event. After taking part in the 90-minute workout that included local dignitaries City Mayor Peter Fassbender and Langley MLA Mary Polak, they found out how well they did. They raised $5,000. Over the seven years this event has taken place, the local effort has raised $30,500. Contributing to the event

become supercharged! LeafSource has also been shown to help enhance energy levels, improve intestinal health, strengthen hair, skin and nails and improve immune function.To see someone go from intense pain to a new lease on life within a week is truly incredible. Imagine being able to move freely without pain. Who wouldn’t want to get out of bed in the morning with more energy? It’s amazing how much of this stuff we take for granted, until it’s gone! Ian adds, “I often recommend that LeafSource be taken with other natural joint products in order to help them work better and provide even faster relief. One of the things I hear most often from people who have tried LeafSource is they just plain feel better, have more energy and less pain. We’re so conﬁ dent, we guarantee LeafSource 100%! That alone should be enough to try this incredible product.”

LUYSA opens opportunities for Karen kids Young soccer players from Myanmar (formerly Burma) are getting their kicks at Douglas Park Community School. by Troy Landreville and Heather Colpitts

sports@langleyadvance.com

Playing “the beautiful game” has been an uplifting experience for a group of newcomers to Canada. Players from Myanmar (formerly Burma) in the U8 age division have been playing soccer every Saturday at Douglas Park Community School, assisted by a number of helping hands from the Langley United Youth Soccer Association (LUYSA). The local soccer club stepped in last year to get the eight-year-old Karen kids involved in soccer, but there were a few challenges, since the players weren’t aware of organized soccer’s rules, or field boundaries for that matter. Scott Moye, LUYSA’s director of grassroots (formerly mini) soccer, said the efforts to get the Karen players on the soccer field was “a couple of years” in the making. “Due to time constraints and logistical complications we weren’t able to proceed,” Moye said. When he took over the position of director of grassroots soccer two years ago, Moye felt giving the Karen youngsters a chance to play the sport seemed like a great way to give back to the community. He said soccer is a strong vehicle for Langley players to learn about a situation, and culture, from another part of the world. “Along with the help

He added, “one of the Moye said the Karen neatest things is to see is, players are no strangers to in the first five minutes of soccer, having played in a game, the Langley kids the streets of their homerealize how good the Karen land all day, every day. kids are, and by the end However, once they had of the game that they are immigrated to Canada, the just the same as they are. opportunity to play in the Just kids grinning, laughsame “street-grassroots” ing, kicking a ball, and manner wasn’t there. occasionally rolling in the “So they missed playing mud.” the game a lot,” he said.

Myanmar (formerly Burma) and life as refugees before coming to Canada. The Karens are one of nine minority groups within Myanmar persecuted by the Burmese majority. About 140,000 refugees have lived in camps, some which have existed for

20 years, in the remote jungles. Canada and other nations have been accepting refugees for a few years. Several families have settled in Langley. For more on the Karen people, visit: www.kareninitiative.com.

Shannon Walker used tactics to fool the PoCo goalkeeper and her defence by running behind the net to set up, then popping out to score Langley’s third goal.

Tight turn

From the opening kickoff, the Langley Mustangs were firing on all cylinders this past Sunday at McLeod Athletic Park. Langley Minor Football’s bantam squad built a 28-0 first-quarter lead before cruising to a convincing 47-0 victory over the visiting Richmond Raiders. The Mustangs opened the scoring on their first play from scrimmage. From his team’s 45-yard line, Langley’s Regan Doucette took a hand-off and weaved his way 65 yards for the opening major of the game. On the Mustangs’ next possession, they drove the ball down to the Richmond 18-yard line. Then, facing third and long, Langley looked to the air, as quarterback Cory McMurchy connected with Dallas Korfman in the end zone to increase the Mustangs’ lead to 14-0. On the ensuing kick-off, Tyler Pauls recovered a Richmond fumble and Langley took over on the Raiders’ 50-yard line. Two plays later, Doucette recorded his second touchdown of the day with a 14-yard run to give Langley a 21-0 lead. Then with time ticking down in the first quarter, the Mustangs’ drove down to the Raiders’ one-yard line. Centre Haydn Coss and left guard Scott Miller opened a huge hole for Matt Bilmer to run through untouched for a touchdown, padding Langley’s lead to 28-0. The second quarter saw the Mustangs’ offence continue to dominate. Langley increased its lead to 35-0 with an 18-yard touchdown run by Joseph

Carter and then, on the final play of the second quarter, quarterback Stephen Legare hooked up with Doucette on a 78yard pass-and-run for the Mustangs’ sixth touchdown of the game, giving the local boys a commanding 41-0 lead heading into halftime. The Mustangs went into the second half looking to record their fourth shutout of the season. However, the offence was not finished putting points on the board, as Carter powered his way in from 16 yards out to increase the Mustangs’ lead to 47-0. It was then up to the Mustangs’ defence to preserve the shutout, and they did so in dramatic fashion. For the first time of the game, the Raiders were able to drive the ball down deep into Mustangs’ territory and had a first-and-goal from the Langley one-yard line with a little more than two minutes remaining in the game. After an incomplete pass on first down, the Raiders tried to break the goose egg with a power run up the middle. The Richmond running back was met by a strong Langley rush that popped the ball loose, and Jason Geisbrecht recovered the fumble to snuff out the final Richmond drive of the game. Leading the defence on Sunday was Jeremy McLean with four tackles, while Peter Woods and Pauls chipped in three each. Scott Tolnay and Calixto Martinez also made key tackles, and Justin Brown recorded an interception in the victory. ••• With the win, the Mustangs improve their record to 7-0 and will look to add to their win total this Sunday when they travel to Rupert Park to take on the Vancouver Trojans. Kickoff is 12:45 p.m.

NOORDMAN, Roelof Jan

August 2, 1932 - October 16, 2010 With great sadness we announce the passing of Rudie. He passed away in the Langley Hospital where he spent his last 6 months with dementia. Survived by his loving wife Annie, married for 59 years, daughter Ingrid, son Johnny, grandchildren, Ilona (Raymond), Rocco, Melvin and Michelle and great-granddaughter Femke. Rudie was born in Enchede, The Nederlands and immigrated with his wife Annie and daughter Ingrid to Canada in 1981. Rudie’s greatest passion was his racing pigeons, when he came to Canada he brought with him 42 of his most famous and valuable birds. He was an avid player and a proud sportsman, he played in the Surrey Racing, Fraser Valley Pigeon Club and the North Road Club. A special thanks for all the nurses at the Langley Hospital staff who looked after Rudy. There will be no service at Rudie’s request. In lieu of ﬂowers, a donation to charity of your choice, or the Alzheimer’s association.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Chase money during the weeks ahead. Buy/sell, cultivate new clients, seek a pay raise, etc. Also focus on, and complete, major tasks or health ﬁxes. Putting them off would interfere with the lucky opportunities and relationship potentials of 2011. To late January, your work scene features intensity, longer hours and creativity – it’s one of the more interesting things in your life, until 2011.“Heavy” money issues enter Sunday (mortgage, investment, etc.) – be calm, even passive. Wisdom, gentle love early week. Ambitious wishes furthered Thursday/Friday, not before. A happy weekend! Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Weariness ends – your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise – especially in money areas. For the next six weeks, increased money will come from work or health events, perhaps from overtime hours, sales. Though more money comes, strictly beware a simultaneous, unconscious need to overspend. You could purchase machinery or repairs – haggle, go slow, don’t “spend automatically.” A relationship puzzles you Sunday (perhaps because it’s going to end soon). Mysteries, hidden “treasure,” sexual lures ﬁll Monday/Tuesday. Sweet, gentle love Wednesday-Friday. Be ambitious Saturday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Rest through late November. Contemplate, plan, be charitable and spiritual, connect with institutions, government agencies. All these proceed splendidly, but other, more hectic pursuits meet headwinds, mainly because your energy and charisma are low. People don’t want to follow your lead right now. This could be a problem, because you’re feeling more determined, assertive and impatient than usual. Dicey combination! Turn that drive into creative pursuits. Indulge yourself with a little pleasure to defuse your ferocity. Valuable secrets surface Wednesday-Friday – pounce Thursday p.m.!

Cancer June 21-July 22: The month ahead features romance, pleasure, speculation, creativity, beauty and charming kids. You’ll ride a winning streak! These enjoyable matters were sprinkled through September and October, but now they flower more fully. A contentious, intense tone yields to a softer, affectionate “dalliance” atmosphere. An old flame might appear, if he/she has not already done so in the last two weeks. Sunday’s for fun, social delights. Retreat to rest, plan Monday/Tuesday. Your energy, magnetism and effectiveness soar Wednesday p.m. to Friday – go out, NOT within! Money caution Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead revolve around home, kids, property, security, soul, nutrition and Mother Nature. The friction that sandpapered these areas in recent weeks will fade – for two years. Now to January, affection fills your home. You’ll be charmed and charming! It’s a splendid time to decorate, vacation, take the kids to the pumpkin patch, etc. If you’re single, a romantic streak begins to wind through your days. If married, the boudoir brightens. If parenting, be gentle – you might push sports, adventure, too hard. Be ambitious Sunday. Happiness, hopes, plans and popularity Monday/ Tuesday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Communications, paperwork, details, errands, short trips, siblings and casual acquaintances fill the weeks ahead. Much of this continues September/October’s trends, but in bigger, luckier ways. The focus of communications changes from sex, finances, mutual property, big changes, power plays, secrets, to something lighter, more gracious: affection/sensuality, earnings instead of assets, compromise instead of power plays, etc. Less is at stake, and that buoys your heart! Still, you’ll be short-tempered on the home front to early December: make peace! Social joys Wednesday-Friday!

Cut Your Debt by up to 70% DEBT Forgiveness Program

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: A month of mystery, of psychological, financial and sexual depths awaits you. You might be “tied to” another’s finances, might invest, or take on a mortgage or other large debt. The end result will be a change in your lifestyle. This change might occur through other avenues also: health adjustments, sexual involvements (or pregnancy) etc. It’s a time of commitment and consequence. It’s also, to some degree, a time of karma – I hope you’ve been good! Research, intuition and subconscious promptings aid you. Chase money, shop early Sunday. Thursday to Saturday are sexy, romantic! Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks ahead feature relationships – of all stripes, from marriage and business partnerships, to agreements, contracts, negotiations, dealings with the public, and the bevy of new relationships that relocation would entail. You are no longer (as in recent weeks) meeting friction and challenge from others. Now forward (to January) most dealings and links become unusually affectionate and gracious. Everyone wants to please – you included! It’s likely that a former bond, an “ex” or a former opportunity (relocation, business, public dealings, etc.) will loom large. Talk it up, Thursday. Gemini May 21-June 20: The next few weeks bring drudgery, chores, health concerns, machinery repairs/purchases and increased dependents’ needs. All these detracted from the pleasures of the last few weeks. So now the cosmos balances: during this “drudgery month” your chores will tend to be light and enjoyable, co-workers will be affectionate (or at least nice), dependents reward you and your health will improve...unless you have a sugar-related problem – e.g., diabetes. (If so, be vigilant through January.) Relationships grow fiery yet hopeful. Love could arise from an argument (and vice versa).

Oct. 24 - Oct. 30 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A month of happiness stretches before you! Your popularity will rise. Social delights, optimism, bright future plans and group activities await. A light ﬂirtation could occur – it could be more than that if you meet in a group. Sunday accents romance.Tackle chores Monday to Wednesday morning. Relationships loom large Wednesday noon to Friday eve. There’s a disappointment or obstacle here Thursday morning, but otherwise these few days offer success in negotiations, agreements, love, partnerships, meeting or serving the public. Be open, other-oriented and eager! Mysteries, Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead luckily feature ambition, career, prestige relationships and your reputation. Climb the ladder, boost your position in the world! Bosses, parents and higher-ups will (by Thursday onward) drop the impatience and temperament of the last two months.They will strongly favour you now into next January: you’ll be surprised at how graciously you and your proposals are received. Travel and socializing issue a siren song for six weeks – enjoy, but don’t be overly distracted. Romance, creative urges and pleasure call you Monday/Tuesday. Tackle work after Thursday morning, not before. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Understanding replaces mystery, light replaces dark, a philosophical attitude supplants lust.You grow more calm and compassionate. You see your future more clearly, making this and the next few weeks a splendid time to make life-affecting decisions. You might wed, or meet an important love, in the few months ahead. Travel, read, communicate Sunday. Be near home or in contact with family – or pursue security, property goals – Monday/Tuesday. Romance, a creative surge or speculative urge comes Wednesday to Friday – it’s a trap to Thursday morning, succeeds after. Chores Saturday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Road safety

Winter equals crash season, ICBC warns A dramatic spike in speedrelated accidents usually occurs in December.

Old Man Winter is rounding the corner, and, in preparation for his arrival, ICBC and police are reminding drivers to slow down and adapt their driving speed on potentially treacherous road conditions. In the Lower Mainland, the number of casualty crashes due to driving too fast for conditions increases by more than 40 per cent in December compared to October. “Wet road conditions are the main factor of speed-relative crashes in the Lower Mainland,” said Jon Schubert, ICBC’s president and CEO. “Unfortunately, many drivers don’t adjust their speed and recognize that the posted speed limit is only for ideal or dry road conditions.” At Richmond’s Silver City parking lot this week, ICBC and the Justice Institute of B.C.’s driving instructors demonstrated how various driving speeds affect the time it takes to stop on wet roads. It was clear – the faster a person goes, the longer it will take to stop. And in poor weather conditions, it will take even longer. Police were also on hand to remind drivers of the consequences of speeding in B.C. “If you are caught driving too fast
