Langley RCMP is seeking the assis-tance of the public to identify a person of interest in their continuing investigation into the att empted abduction of a 16-year-old girl in Aldergrove last week.

Th e investigation began on September 22 shortly before 1 p.m. when a Grade 12 student advised she had been approached by a male in a red pickup truck asking if she needed a ride. She declined and he approached her a second time and took

hold of her arm, releasing her only aft er she punched him in the face.

He returned to his vehicle and drove away. Langley Serious Crime Unit has assumed conduct of the investigation.

Police ask the public to review the composite drawing of the sus-pect and call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 if you are able to identify this person of interest.

Should you need to remain

anonymous, please call Crimestoppers.

Th ere are four ways to leave an “anonymous tip” with Crime Stoppers. Phone 1-800-222-TIPS (8477); type: www.solvecrime.ca; text: BCTIP and your mes-sage to CRIMES (274637); or via Facebook: www.face-book.com/metrovancouver-crimestoppers

Local residents are being off ered an inside view of the homelessness problem in our area.

Th e “Beat the Streets” youth homeless initiative is off ering the public several local aware-ness events for the October 10-16 Homelessness Action Week.

Th e week kicks off with an open house on Tuesday, Oct. 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Building 272, 3089 - 272 Street, Aldergrove, hosted by Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services (ANS).

All members of the commu-nity are welcome to att end. At this event, ANS staff will provide infor-mation on the initiative and answer questions regarding homelessness in our community.

On Oct. 14 they will be hosting a Conversation Café. Aldergrove’s Milsean Shoppe has graciously donated their beautiful space at 272

Street and 29 Avenue to the organi-zation to host this event.

“What we provide is free coff ee or tea and a light snack in return for your opinion on homelessness in the Langleys. Th e conversation is social and ‘agenda-free’ with the goal of raising awareness and con-versations around the issues of homelessness within our communi-ties,” said Loren Roberts, Langley youth homelessness coordinator with ANS.

Another groundbreaking event will be taking place on the eve-ning of Oct. 14. In partnership with Stepping Stones Community Services Society, the second annual “Homeless 4 a Night” workshop is open to students, professionals and community members over the age of 19.

Th is event will take place between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. and provides participants with an eye-

opening, fi rsthand look at home-lessness, and information on local service providers.

To participate in the Conversation Café or Homeless 4 a Night workshop, or for more infor-mation on any of the Homelessness Action Week programming, contact Loren Roberts at 604-857-4662 or email loren@aldergrovens.com

Aldergrove Neighborhood Services would like to thank all of their partners and supporters with-in the Langley communities includ-ing: Langley Rotary, Aldergrove Rotary, Milsean Shoppe, Ministry of Child and Family Development, Centrepoint Community Services Society, Stepping Stones Community Services Society, Vancity, United Way and the Vancouver Foundation.

On October 8 and 9 the top all breed stock dogs and their han-dlers will be travelling from across the world to compete in the 2011 CKC Canadian All Breed Herding Championships.

Each year, the All Breed Herding Championships move from the east-side to the west-side of Canada. Th is year the event will be held at Th underbird Show Park on Ott er Road (248 Street).

Th e championships support the tradition of the working dog, and all breeds are welcome to participate. Handlers and their dogs compete in Canadian Kennel Club herding events throughout the year to accu-mulate points in order to qualify for an invitation to the championships. A total of 40 dog/handler teams will have the honour of participat-ing.

Lynn Leach, co-chair of the planning committ ee, clinician, trainer, and AKC, CKC and AHBA judge says it has taken many years to get the championships running in B.C.

“We now have a variety of train-ers and resources in B.C. that are required in order to provide a solid foundation for the training that herding stock dogs will need in order to confi dently do chores, or compete in trials,” says Leach.

Leach feels strongly about encouraging breeders to strive for maintaining their breed’s workabil-ity, instinct and good conforma-tion. She also believes that herding promotes responsible dog owner-ship and encourages others to seek training for their pet dogs.

“Training and/or competing in herding creates a wonderful bond between dogs and their handlers,” she says.

Leach says that the economic

motive for herding is based on rec-ognition that, for controlling the movement of livestock, a compe-tent dog can do the work of several people more quickly and at a frac-tion of the cost.

“Farming has taken major losses over the past decade and increas-ing the opportunities for allowing these farmers to save both time and money is a huge benefi t. Langley and the Fraser Valley are major farming areas, so bringing herding into our communities should pro-mote economic effi ciencies”.

Leach explains that herding also brings recreational and tourism benefi ts to the community.

“Stock dog trials are a dynamic and rapidly growing sport that combines the dog’s ability with a handler’s skill. Many people in the Fraser Valley make their living training dogs, boarding dogs, and

running herding facilities. Herding trials bring visitors to your commu-nity, who become tourists during their stay.”

Aside from the main competi-tion, spectators will also be invited to enjoy “Meet the Breed” presen-tations about various breeds’ tem-peraments, working styles; presen-tations about dog obedience, dog tricks, and how to teach children to be safe around dogs; “Sheep Care” workshops; presentations from 4-H groups about why 4-H is benefi -cial to our communities and to our families; and visiting a variety of vendor booths, including those of local artists specializing in painting pet portraits.

Admission is free. For more information about the 2011 Canadian All Breed Herding Championships, visit htt p://herd-ingcanadashowcase.com

Family taken to hospital aft er house fi reAldergrove Star

A fi re at a rural west Abbotsford home sent fi ve people to hospital late Friday night.

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service was called to the home at 140 Mt. Le-hman Road at about 11 p.m. When crews arrived, they found the kitchen on fi re and smoke coming from the eaves.

Deputy Fire Chief Mike Helmer said the fi re started from an unat-

tended pot left on the stove which ignited nearby combustible materials and spread through the range food vent into the att ic space.

He said the adult occupants of the home had fallen asleep and were awakened by smoke coming from the kitchen.

Th e man suff ered smoke inhalation and cuts to his hand aft er he broke a window and att empted to extinguish the fi re with a garden hose.

He was taken to hospital, as were his wife and three children – ages nine months and fi ve and six years old – as a precaution.

Helmer said 24 fi refi ghters and six trucks from four fi re halls fought the fi re and were able to contain it aft er about 10 minutes. Damage to the home is estimated at $50,000.

He said the family was fortunate to escape the fi re, as there were no smoke alarms within the home.

Nancy Barker, co-chair of the 2011 Ca-nadian All Breed Championships, con-siders herself an “Urban Herder.”

Like most residents of the Lower Mainland, Barker doesn’t have live-stock of her own, but she enjoys the mental challenge involved with working livestock, and consequently she works other people’s livestock.

When asked why she goes to all of this trouble just to work livestock with her dogs, something that many people think of as work, she says, “Sharing the joy I have with my dogs when I use them for what they were bred to do is why I enjoy herding. I love to see my dogs’ excitement when I put on my ‘herding jeans’. Th ere is nothing more pure.”

“Herding or stockdog work is also my answer to keeping my mind sharp as I advance to middle age. I fi nd it very chal-lenging and rewarding on so many dif-ferent levels. Relationship building with my dog, meeting new friends, appreciat-ing the subtle communication between livestock and the dog, oft en recognizing how much smarter my dogs are than I am,” she says.

Barker’s breed of choice is the Austra-lian Shepherd.

“I love working with Australian Shep-

herds for many reasons: they are fun lov-ing, exceptionally loyal, and have very good stock sense.”

Barker owns Australian Shepherds and will be com-peting with two of them in the 2011 Championships this weekend at Th underbird Show park. When asked how she thinks she will place, her response is, “Sure, we want to do well, but more impor-tantly I want to feel that my dog and I work together as a team, moving the livestock around the trial course in a calm, respectful manner.”

Barker enjoys watching the dif-ferent herding

breeds using their natural instincts, and then researching their original purpose for farm or ranch work. Th e 2011 cham-pionships will also allow her to do that. Competitors and spectators will enjoy watching many diff erent herding breeds, including Rott weilers, Boxers, Cardigan Welsh Corgis, Australian Catt le Dogs, German Shepherds and of course Aus-tralian Shepherds.

“Each of these dogs is doing jobs that they were originally bred for: moving livestock for a farmer or rancher. It’s wonderful to watch. Th e breeds all have a slightly diff erent working style, none bett er than the other, just diff erent.

Th e Crown prosecutor’s offi ce has now approved 21 theft -related charges against two Abbotsford brothers police call “prolifi c prop-erty crime off enders” who were already facing trial for a break-in and robbery at the South Surrey home of Sharon Symes, the owner of Porter’s Bistro Coff ee & Tea House in Langley.

Darwin Duane Dorozan, 36, is facing two charges of break and enter and has been released on strict conditions. Dane Dewey Dorozan, 35, has been charged with 19 counts of break and enter, one charge of possession of stolen prop-erty and one charge of assault with a weapon. He’s in jail.

Th e charges were laid Sept 27. Th e Dorozans were arrested

Aug. 15 shortly aft er $20,000 worth

of property was stolen from the Symes’ Surrey house.

At the time, Symes and her husband were told the two suspects were being tracked by the Surrey RCMP Property Crime Target Team, who swooped in and arrested them before they got very far.

Th e Dorozans are believed responsible for other residential break-and-enters in Langley, Surrey, White Rock and New Westminster.

Darwin has a long list of charges and convictions through the Lower Mainland, dating back to 1995, according to the provincial court database. His convictions include possession of stolen property, theft , possession for the purpose of traf-

fi cking, and break and enter.

Dane has previously been convicted of pos-session for the purpose of traf-fi cking, and break and enter. He was

most recently charged with drug possession charges last December in Abbotsford, with his trial due to begin Oct. 20 in Abbotsford pro-vincial court.

A third brother, Dennis, 38, also has a criminal history, but was not charged in the latest off ences.

“Th e skills and perseverance that our Property Crime team dem-onstrated in pursuit of these crimi-nals was outstanding,” said Supt. Bill Fordy, Investigative Services Offi cer.

“It was great police work.”

21 charges against ‘prolifi c’ thieves

By NATASHA JONESBlack Press

One of David Esworthy’s last duties as president of the Langley Horse Federation was to ask Township council to consider set-ting aside funds in next year’s bud-get to complete a horse trail con-nection between Campbell Valley Park and Aldergrove.

Council did not act on the sug-gestion, nor on the LHF’s research into the practicalities of locating an exhibition facility and Agricultural Centre of Excellence in Langley.

A 2005 report to council high-lighted the viability of such a facil-ity, Esworthy reminded council.

“Subsequent research has con-fi rmed not only the viability but the need for such a structure, with strong support from the horse and farm sectors as well as the general public,” Esworthy said.

Th e horse and farm reference was timely. Th e next evening, the LHF voted to change its name to the Langley Horse and Farm Federation. Carla Robin was named president.

Esworthy told council that an Agricultural Centre of Excellence could provide a much-need-ed home for the crowded B.C. Agricultural Machinery Museum in Fort Langley. It could also sup-port therapeutic riding programs, and provide offi ce space for vari-ous organization such as the Horse Council of B.C. “I believe that the Langley Horse and Farm Federation can provide insights into the needs and desires of horse people, and the broader agricultural community,” Esworthy said.

VANCOUVER – Th e annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention spent quite a bit of time talk-ing about new wireless tech-nology. Unfortunately, most of it was wasted on ignorance and fear, fanned by the NDP, Green Party and some like-minded opportunists in local government.

A tiny group of protest-ers gathered outside the Vancouver convention cen-tre each morning, sett ing up a pile of picket signs wailing about imagined smart meter sins, from privacy invasion to human rights violation.

One of them allowed that she was wearing “special cloth-ing” to ward off the bad rays. Th at’s understandable, since BC Hydro calculates that a del-egate’s wireless signal exposure from four days at the UBCM convention is equivalent to standing next to a smart meter for 1,147 years. And that’s not even calculating those other horrible sources of electro-magnetic energy bombarding downtown Vancouver, such as traffi c lights, spark plugs, and let’s not forget the Sun or Earth’s molten core.

It wasn’t all foolishness, however. I att ended an eco-nomic development panel, at which physician and cabinet minister Margaret MacDiarmid described the continuing extension of rural cell phone and internet service underway since the extension of the B.C. government’s con-

tract with Telus.Th ere was not a discour-

aging word about cell phone towers, the innovation that spawned the anti-wireless cult in California many years ago. Quite the contrary.

MacDiarmid was beseeched to get cell service to northern Vancouver Island and un-serviced parts of the Interior, and to cut through the multi-ministry maze still required for routine approval of towers. Cell phones save lives on remote highways.

In the main hall, suppos-edly experienced municipal leaders continued to parrot fear of “microwaves” and such drivel, either because they believe it or because they are pandering to those who do. Th is continued on talk radio, which stoked the smart meter “controversy” all week, appar-ently because it reliably gener-ates angry calls.

Th e descent into farce became complete when del-egates had a show of hands on a resolution to place a morato-rium on a smart meter instal-lation program that BC Hydro has already paid for. Th e vote was too close to call, so they had to fi sh out their wireless voting devices to vote about 55 per cent in favour of the moratorium.

Premier Christy Clark was asked aft er the convention if her government would con-template a moratorium on meter installation. “No,” she replied. Th is is not surprising,

since the motion eff ectively asks BC Hydro to waste $930 million.

“I’ve spent quite a bit of time talking with the experts about it,” Clark said. “I don’t share those health concerns, because when we’re surround-ed by wireless and cell phones, there are a lot of other sources of the problem that they’re concerned about.”

I’ve argued with numer-ous people about this. Th ey oft en start with an exaggerated claim about the World Health Organization’s risk rating.

In fact, WHO acknowl-edges that people who claim hypersensitivity to electro-magnetic signals can’t identify them in controlled studies.

WHO also notes that cell phone tower emissions are eff ectively fi ve times weaker than the FM radio and TV signals to which we’ve all been exposed for decades. Cell base stations reach no more than two per cent of international limits. And smart meter signals are much weaker than that.

I’m done arguing with peo-ple who make up their own facts. I’ll just address those who haven’t bought into this nonsense. Please, survey your council candidates on smart meters, and on Nov. 19, sup-port only those who have the common sense to understand what a smart grid is.

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s View Mayors set to pass gas tax hike for transit

By JEFF NAGELBlack Press

Mayors from Surrey, Vancouver and at least fi ve other cities are poised to force through a two-cent gas tax hike to help fund the Ev-ergreen Line and other transit expansion projects.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watt s, Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson and mayors from Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Langley City, West Van-couver and the District of North Vancouver issued a joint statement Tuesday saying they will vote for TransLink’s Moving Forward supplement on Friday.

Th e seven mayors represent 70 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s 2.5 million residents and hold enough population-weighted votes to force the plan through even if most of the region’s 22 cities object.

Burnaby, Richmond and Delta mayors said they will oppose the plan.

Th e extra two cents a litre in gas tax would take eff ect in April and raise $40 million a year of the needed $70 million annually to fund the plan. Mayors and the province would have one year to negotiate another $30 million worth of new funding sources for TransLink – perhaps road pricing, a vehicle levy, a second regional carbon tax or other mechanisms.

If the province gets cold feet and refuses to approve new sources, the plan requires property taxes go up an average of $23 instead – a scenario that’s unacceptable to mayors in Richmond and Delta.

“I’m not going to support a package with a property tax,” Rich-mond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said. “And I won’t support other funding sources when they’ve not been defi ned.”

He predicts there will be no deal with Victoria on contentious new mechanisms, most of which would raise the cost of driving as part of a wider strategy to steer more motorists to transit. “I think they’re going to be too complex and too controversial,” Brodie said.

Surrey and Vancouver are big enough under the weighted vote system to sway the decision with just a few other smaller cities on board. But Watt s and other mayors have been busy trying to sway more cities to the yes camp and minimize the spectre of a divided region.

Yes votes were expected from Tri-Cities mayors, who are desper-ate to build the long-promised Evergreen Line there. “It’s our turn,” Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini said of the 11-kilometre rapid tran-sit line. “We can’t rewrite the proposal that’s what in front of us. We have to make sure it goes ahead.”

Th e other mayors pledging support were also expected to be on board. North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton chairs the Mayors Council on Regional Transportation that brokered a tentative funding agreement with Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom in July. West Vancouver’s Pamela Goldsmith-Jones is the mayors council vice-chair and Langley City Mayor Peter Fass-bender is the former chair, who also spent much time negotiating with the provincial government.

Others are still on the fence.Langley Township Mayor Rick Green said he’s leaning against the

TransLink supplement. “I have a lot of diffi culty with it,” he said, adding Metro residents are already “taxed to death.”

Big swathes of Langley get virtually no usable transit service for their contributions to TransLink, he said, while they face the pros-pect of paying more tolls to cross the Fraser River along with poten-tial new fees on motorists.

Trust is also an issue – particularly with a plan mayors see as forc-ing them to commit now and fi ll in the blanks later. Green noted Premier Christy Clark has “fl ip-fl opped” on whether she’d approve the agreed-to gas tax hike or other mechanisms, like a share of the carbon tax. He and other mayors also want reform of TransLink’s governance system, where an unelected board sets spending priori-ties, leaving mayors only to sign off on tax and fee increases.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said he’s disappointed in the opposition from Richmond and Burnaby.

“It’s odd that the two communities that have the newest SkyTrain lines appear to be prepared to vote down the supplement,” he said.

Th e supplement would allow TransLink to deliver its $400-mil-lion contribution for the $1.4-billion Evergreen Line, ensuring the long-stalled SkyTrain extension fi nally proceeds.

Th e plan would provide for RapidBus service over the Port Mann Bridge to Surrey and Langley, a new B-Line express bus route down King George Boulevard, a Langley-White Rock bus route, more fre-quent SeaBus service, SkyTrain station upgrades and various other bus service increases, along with some more money for road work and cycling routes. Th e mayors’ joint statement calls it crucial to reducing gridlock, growing the economy and achieving long-term environmental goals.

How quickly the summer has passed and we’re beginning to hear plans for Christmas already. It’s quite startling.

Th e crib games on Mondays the OAP Hall will be continuing but under new leadership. Carpet bowling started with a bang, 17 players, but has fallen off since then with only one carpet and nine play-ers on Monday. I hope to see att en-dance pick up as it usually does.

Th e art club resumed meeting again on Sept. 14 and artist Tony Reagan has begun teaching classes for three weeks every Wednes-day at the OAP Hall. Drop in and join the fun, share in the learning. Bridge meets as usual on Friday evenings at the OAP Hall.

Two weeks ago our monthly pot luck dinner at the OAP Hall was well att ended, with some new faces helping bring the crowd up

to 39. Th e food was delicious and card bingo was enjoyed aft er din-ner, with yours truly happy to be the fi rst game winner.

Th e Rock and Gem Club’s show last weekend was most interesting. Guests pondered “what am I?” and guessed thunder egg, geode arti-fact or just a ho-hum beacxh rock

but no matt er what you couldn’t help but marvel at the unique items on display. A lazy susan made up of diff erent rocks and a prett y snow-fl ake-like rock were among those that caught your eyes.

Th e club also had booths at which you could buy diff erent jew-ellery items, and a fabulous lunch was served by the Royal Purple Ladies. Congratulations to all for a great show.

I’ve just returned from a deli-cious turkey dinner at the Catholic Church. Once again, credit to the

volunteers who set up a great event of this size.

At the Veterans and Seniors Club the general meeting last week was well att ended. Many is-sues were discussed and decisions made. Th eir fall sale is set for Saturday, Nov. 26. Contributions to the gourmet ham-per will be gladly received. We also encourage more se-niors to indulge in our cook’s fi ne noon dinners. We would gladly welcome more members to join the club. Seniors in Aldergrove are fortunate to have a meeting where you can enjoy the company of oth-ers at mealtime and card games.

Th e Christmas dinner is set for Dec. 5 at the Aldergrove RC Legion, and is a joint eff ort of the OAP and Vets and Seniors clubs. Fur-ther details are to be announced but the date and entertain-ment have been set.

Here’s a silly story about a man’s visit to his doctor. Aft er fi nishing his exami-nation the doctor looked at his patient

and said, “I can’t pin down the exact cause of your trouble but it’s probably due to drinking too much.” Th e man looked back at him and replied, “Gee, I’m sorry to hear that, Doc. I’ll come back when you are sober.”

Editor: On Sept. 12, I att ended Langley

Township’s council meeting. I used to att end every council meet-ing and have a very good idea of what goes on within the walls at Township hall.

As we all are aware, there is an election coming up this Novem-ber. Lo and behold, the Langley Horse Federation sent “top gun” David Esworthy to speak regard-ing what it intends to ask us tax-payers for in the near future.

Taxpayers, beware. Th e federa-tion is not asking for small pota-toes. Its requests could add up to $30 million.

It wants horse trails from Camp-bell Valley Park to Aldergrove, horse-oriented traffi c signals at road crossings and even a horse events centre.

At one time the horse commu-nity, in my opinion, could make or break a politician. As a matt er of fact, Rich Coleman had his of-fi ce in the same building as the Horse Council of B.C. But in the past few years, things seemed to have subsided. Th en along comes the Langley Horse Federation. By commandeering businessman David Esworthy, it looks like the horse promoters are back.

Although the horse industry does generate business, so do many other businesses. For ex-ample, the custom car is king in Langley, and in a recent survey, the question was “Should Langley Speedway be rebuilt and re-opened for racing?” In that survey, 82.46 per cent said “yes.”

Th ese should be times of re-straint, not for projects with more tax increase implications.

Here are some thoughts I have on horses. Why is it that a horse can dump all over public property, but a dog can’t without the owner being fi ned? Why do all dogs have to be licensed, even if they never leave their owners’ property?

Th is question has been asked at many all-candidates meetings, but no one has stepped up to the plate: Why should a horse not be licensed when on public property?

Th e fees obtained could go towards a vehicle that could go around to designated areas, and pick up all this contamination. Why is it that taxpayers have to pay to have thousands of gallons of perfectly good GVRD drinking water taken from a fi re hydrant lo-cated in front of my property, and brought to Campbell Valley Park to fi ll a puddle, just for horses to

jump over? Th e Animal Control Bylaw

2005, no. 4440, states “areas must be kept free of manure , urine and other excrement, which shall be disposed of in a manner accept-able to the waste management branch of the ministry of environ-ment.”

Another section states: “No per-son shall suff er or permit to leave or deposit excrement, manure or dung on any real property other than the owner’s, unless the owner should immediately take steps to remove such excrement, manure or dung and to dispose of same in a sanitary manner.”

So why do we allow these con-taminants on our streets, which humans have to manoeuvre around when out for a drive or stroll?

I have lived in the Township for more than 20 years and we have ignored this issue long enough.

If you’re running in this next election, I’d like to see where you stand on this issue. By not responding, I will presume your answer is that you support the Horse Federation’s future propos-als, and the higher taxes that will be needed to fund this project.

Dennis Townsend, Langley

Horse Fed requests will be pricey

Editor:I have read with interest the con-

troversy surrounding the Lidstone Report. What I understand from what I’ve read of this report is that council had serious concerns there were violations of the community charter made by Mayor Green when he admitt ed to misleading council and revealing information from in-camera meetings.

Aft er a lengthy investigation by the RCMP, the Special Prosecutor David Crossin has now stated there is ‘no substantial likelihood’ of a conviction, even if Mayor Green is charged with an off ence.

So what does that really mean?Mayor Green says he is totally in-

nocent, and wants the taxpayers to foot the bill for his legal fees, of ap-proximately $20,000.

Since the Lidstone Report was paid for using taxpayer dollars it is therefore, owned by the taxpayer, is it not? And why would the taxpayer want to take on more costs by pay-ing his legal fees if we can’t have ac-cess to the report that is the marker of it all?

Whether there is a conviction or not, with an election around the corner wouldn’t it be to Mayor Green’s advantage if he allowed the

report to go public so voters of this community could draw their own conclusions as to his innocence. In the Langley Times Mayor Green said that this drawn-out episode has been nothing short of an ‘orches-trated tax-payer-funded att ack’.

If that is in fact true, producing the entire report for public knowledge would be one way to lay it all out and convince us whether he is the victim here or not.

Th e fact that he seems to be hiding behind it can only make us all feel ‘curiouser and curiouser’.

Mayor Green – are you listening?Lionel Anker, Walnut Grove

Is the mayor listening?

‘H’ decal has rules

Editor:As a person who has just

received a handicap decal (much to my dismay), I would like to clarify a com-ment made in a Star lett er to the editor, Sept. 29. D. Atkinson writes that “Lan-gley Township should be looking for people who keep the card in their glove box and then put it on the mirror, hoping no one sees them exit the vehicle.”

Th e literature I received from SPARC BC (which is-sues the permits only with a doctor’s form) states on the last page of the parking program information that “You MUST remove the permit from the rear view mirror when you drive, as it is against the law to drive with the permit hanging (obstructed vision).

Please know the facts of this great debate regard-ing the storage of the per-mit before you walk up to someone and hassle them about pulling it out of their glovebox, purse or what-ever. People with these permits have a right to use them regardless of where they keep it. In actual fact, people who drive around with the permit dangling and obstructing their vi-sion are breaking a motor vehicle law.

Please get the proper in-formation out there if you have the space before your front page contains a crazy road rage incident involv-ing a misinformed person and a H permit holder.

Th anks a lot. Have a great week, and keep up the good work.

St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church has a new initiative this year called “Garden-to-Table.”

Th is spring, St. Dunstan’s started a community garden on their land on 264 Street. Every Th ursday, participants gather to garden together, cook together, and eat together.

“Th rough this weekly event, we are connecting more with the local community,” said Christina Ray, community liaison at St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church. “Our group is made up of both church members and community members.”

Garden-to-Table does several things simultaneously. It off ers food support, social support, and skills support, as well as raising environmental awareness. And, it’s fun.

If a person is hungry, they can come and get a delicious free meal, and oft en take some home with them. If a person is isolated, they can fi nd positive social con-nection and a way to contribute. Everyone is learning skills — gar-dening, composting, food prepa-

ration, food safety, and connect-ing with people from diff erent backgrounds.

“We believe that everyone has needs, and everyone has gift s to contribute. Garden-to-Table is a place where people can bring both their needs and their gift s, where we are growing together,” said Ray.

“Although Garden-to-Table emerges from our Christian understanding of what we are to be doing in the world, it is not a religious program. We are open to people from every back-ground. So far, we have hosted seniors, those with disabilities, and young people of all ages. We have fed people who live hungry in Aldergrove, as well as troubled youth.”

Garden-to-Table is supported by local merchants and organiza-tions, including the Aldergrove Rotary Club, the Organic Farm Connection, Lotusland Vineyards, Milsean’s, Langley Environmental Partners, Costco, the Anglican Diocese, and of course, St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church.

“In our fi rst season, we are learning a lot, and growing slow-ly.

“We will continue to meet throughout the year, off ering

workshops and creating commu-nity meals,” said Ray.

For more information about Garden-to-Table, contact Pastor Paul Guiton at 604-856-5393.

By BRENDA ANDERSON Black Press

Time is running out to check out the work of six Langley artists taking part in the Fraser Valley Biennale.

Until Oct. 9, the Reach Gallery Museum in Abbotsford is showcas-ing 26 local and regional art-making, and profi ling some of the best visual

artists from across the Fraser Valley.

Among those whose work is on display are Doris Hutt on Auxier, Jo-Ann Sheen, Randall Steeves, Dan Lefebvre, Aaron Moran and Susan Gorris.

Auxier is concerned with the environmen-tal issues of the Fraser Valley such as eff orts to

protect the Langley Bog and Riverview Mental Hospital’s Colony Farm.

Auxier’s two paint-ings which are on display depict the complexity of moss and other forms of vegetation that are under threat.

Sheen is from Fort Langley and has been focusing on print-making. Her work makes reference to the quilt making tradi-tion and draws parallels between printmaking and quilt making.

Steeves explores the medium of painting in an increasingly media based world and is driven by a conviction that the act of painting is another way to experience the essential features of reality.

Lefebvre, is a wood-carver who started carv-ing at the age of 15. Th rough the use of tools and fallen wood, Lefebvre designs and creates wood carvings that express per-sonal refl ections on life around him.

Moran uses found materials from suburban demolition and construc-tion sites to create geo-metric assemblages which draw att ention to their present state of useless-ness.

Gorris, a multimedia

artist from Aldergrove, uses a variety of medi-ums to record and react to particular dichotomies in nature and play with human and animal char-acteristics. Her ceramic work transposes animal forms into the physical image of human forms.

“In anthropology, a glimpse into the values, social rituals and language that were pertinent to survival provide threads of opportunity for visual expression,” says Gorris.

“Contrasts of culture are oft en found in arti-facts, stories, architecture and skeletal remains.”

Fraser Valley Biennale wraps up Oct. 9

Sculptures by Aldergrove artist and school teacher Su-san Gorris are on display at the Reach Gallery.

By NATASHA JONESBlack Press

Many of our four-legged friends depend on us, for food and shelter and other necessities of life.

Th e Langley ani-mal shelter, run by the Langley Animal Protection Society, spends more than $60,000 a year on animal care, all of the money coming from donations.

On Oct. 29, LAPS will be hosting its fourth gala to not only raise money, but to celebrate the suc-cess stories that happen, thanks to the public’s generosity.

Th is year, LAPS hopes to raise $55,000 so that it can continue to provide care for Langley’s stray, lost and unwanted dogs and cats — and there are plenty of them. Each year, LAPS cares for approxi-mately 1,000 dogs, 300 cats and 200 livestock animals, said LAPS gen-eral manager, Sean Baker.

Part of the funds raised on gala nights are directed to the medical fund and part to current projects that benefi t ani-mal health and welfare, he said.

For example, in 2009 LAPS built sun and rain shelters in its exercise yards at the Patt i Dale Animal Shelter at 26220 56 Ave., and last year renovated its cat cott age to provide heat, ventila-tion, insulation and an exercise area.

Th is project is almost complete, and a grand opening is planned for the week of Oct. 11.

“For 2011, we are raising funds to build a dog training and exercise facility on site (and) to make this dream a reality, we need to raise $100,000,” Baker said.

Th e gala will be held at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre, large enough to host the

anticipated 400 guests. Th e night will have a masquerade theme and will include dinner, and live and silent auctions. Aaron Pritchett , the well-known country music artist, will perform and be the evening’s host.

Tickets are $75 each, the price rising to $100 aft er Oct. 17. Th ey can be purchased by phone at 604-857-5055, or in person at the Patt i Dale Animal Shelter.

Another LAPS mon-ey-raising initiative is the $5,000 Build Your Dream Vacation lott ery. Off ered

for the fi rst time, LAPS has printed only 2,000 tickets, “so the odds are really good,” Baker said.

Tickets are one for $20, three for $50 and 10 for $100. Tickets can be ordered by phone or in person at the Patt i Dale Animal Shelter.

Baker stressed that the real focus of the event is the happy endings that LAPS staff have created. Th e “Furry Tail Endings” focus on animals like a six-month-old Chihuahua which came to LAPS with a broken leg and broken jaw about at the

beginning of September. “Unfortunately, the

injuries were not recent and he had probably been suff ering for three to four weeks,” Baker said, add-ing that the pup’s face was infected and its foot had swollen to several times its normal size.

“With the help of the Shewan Foundation, we were able to provide the two surgeries needed to repair the leg and the jaw. He isn’t out of the woods yet, but we are confi dent that he will be another ‘Furry Tail Ending,’” he added.

Shelter celebrates success stories

SUBMITTED PHOTOThanks to the work of LAPS staff and donations from the public, this sixth-month-old Chi-huahua is recovering from broken bones.

Crimes down in Abbotsford

Abbotsford Police have recorded their lowest num-ber of property crimes since the beginning of 2009, ac-cording to Deputy Chief Rick Lucy. From Aug. 13 to Sept. 9 there were 356 such crimes.

Lucy said this is the low-est number of property crimes for any CompStat period since January 2009. Th e total number of prop-erty crimes for the year, up until Sept. 9, is 4,246, com-pared to 4,572 for the same period in 2010, a seven per cent reduction.

Th e Aldergrove Kodiaks exploded off ensively as they thumped the Ridge Meadows Flames 9-2 in junior B Pacifi c International Junior Hockey League action on Wednesday night at the Aldergrove Arena.

Robert Jang and Stephen Ryan had two goals apiece in the blowout while Th omas Hardy had a goal and three assists.

Ross Baadsvik made 33 saves in the win.

Th e Flames led 1-0 aft er the opening 20 minutes before the Aldergrove off ence got on track in the second.

Matt hew Luongo, Ryan Veillet and Jang scored for the Kodiaks, before the Flames’ Dean Gilmore cut the lead to 3-2.

But Jang’s second of the night, on the power play, restored the Kodiaks’ two-goal advantage.

Th e third period was all Aldergrove as they peppered the Flames net with 23 shots and scored fi ve more times.

Ryan had two, while Colton Precourt, Hardy and Jordan Pughe all found the back of the net.

Ryan Procyshyn had three assists, while Precourt, Veillet and Luongo all had a goal and two assists.

Brendan Gulka also fi nished with a pair of assists and Colby Rosner had one assist.

Th ye Kodiaks outshot the Flames 49-35 that night.

Precourt, Hardy and Veillet were awarded the game’s fi rst, second and third stars, respec-tively.

Th e win puts the Kodiaks at the top of the Harold Britt ain conference with four points, and Hardy, Precourt and Veillet are the league’s top scoring lead-ers with 9, 7 and 5, respectively. Baadsvik is also a goalie leader with a 2.00 GAA.

Th e Township of Langley has accommodated the proposal of two Langley youths to create a memo-rial grove in Langley to commemo-rate the 157 Canadians who were killed in Afghanistan.

“Th is is the fi rst step in our dream for Langley to commemorate the Canadian soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan,” says 14-year-old Michael Pratt , a grade nine stu-dent at Brookswood Secondary and one of the co-founders of Langley Youth for the Fallen (LYF): A Walk to Remember.

Th ere are seven sponsors who have committ ed to the proj-ect, including Aldergrove Credit Union, JD Farms, Rotary Club of Aldergrove, Rotary Club of Langley,

Aboretum and Botanical Society of Langley, David and Nora Truman, and Diane and Mark Warawa.

“In addition to these sponsors, we are very pleased with the sup-port and guidance provided by Mr. Al Neufeld, manager of parks design and development and the Township of Langley,” says Pratt .

“Th e Township has taken on the administration role in addition to making land available in the Derek Doubleday Arboretum near the Langley Airport and is working with landscape architects to design the memorial grove, walking path and cenotaph.”

Elizabeth Pratt , a UBC student, recent graduate of Brookswood Secondary and LYF co-founder said, “We wanted to do something

to show that the youth of Langley supports our armed forces and in particular those who have paid the ultimate price. We like the idea of planting trees as they symbolize life. Th rough each of these trees, each soldier lives on. Th ere are many benefi ts to Langley that will arise from having this memorial grove and it would get the youth of Langley involved in a worthwhile project.”

LYF: A Walk to Remember is looking for sponsors. Th e cost of sponsoring a tree in honour of a Canadian who gave their life for our freedoms is $300. For information email LangleyYouthForTh eFallen@gmail.com or visit their Facebook page: Langley Youth for the Fallen: A Walk to Remember.
