All the pipe for the mas-sive East Langley Water Supply Project has been installed, and water is flowing through some sections.

But parts of it won’t be fully operational until January of next year, a report from the Township engineer-ing division says.

The $33.5 million project was originally supposed to be finished by late 2014, but problems with terrain, leaky pipes and other unexpected issues have seen the comple-tion date moved back several times.

An Oct. 1 unsigned memo to mayor and coun-cil says while water is flow-ing through the pipeline section that runs between Willoughby and Murrayville, “some work remains to address deficiencies” in the section that runs between Murrayville and East Langley/Aldergrove.

Testing to detect and fix leaks is continuing on the pipeline between 236 Street and 240 Street on 52 Avenue, the memo states, and clean-ing out an “accumulation of foreign debris” from the pipeline will take eight to 12 weeks.

Leaks were first uncov-

ered during pressure testing of the line east of 248 Street.

A July memo to council said the pipeline manufac-turer “has recently advised of quality control issues neces-sitating replacement of some sections [of pipe].”

The East Langley line is the biggest proj-ect ever undertaken by the Township’s engineer-ing department, with 14 kilometres of one-metre diameter water main and a booster pump station con-necting to the regional Metro Vancouver water system.

Township planners expect the East Langley Water Supply will bring an end to the severe watering restric-tions that east Langley resi-dents and businesses have faced during summer months to avoid depleting the aqui-fers. The Aldergrove and Gloucester areas will contin-ue to be served by the exist-ing groundwater wells here but will no longer have to rely on the wells alone as the Metro water will supplement local supply needs.

Work on the water pipe-line got underway in May 2013.

Despite the delays, staff say the project is on track to stay within its $33.5 million approved budget.

Casting an Eerie Web

By DAN FERGUSONAldergrove Star

More staff would have to be hired to enforce a time limit on tethering dogs outdoors in Langley Township, a report to council says.

The Oct. 20 unsigned memo to mayor and council by the commu-nity development division warns an officer would have to stake out a suspected violation longer than the maximum allowed time in order to prove the limit was violated.

“In order to effectively investi-gate complaints and be able to prove an offence, an animal control officer would be required to be on scene and observe the tethered dog for the duration of the allowed period to prove that a violation has taken place,” the report said.

That makes time-based anti-teth-er regulations “nearly impossible to enforce, due to staff resources required and the practicality of evi-dence collection” the memo con-cluded.

The memo said a survey of municipalities with no-tether regu-lations found enforcement action is rarely taken, with one unnamed municipality recording 54 com-plaints in 2014 without issuing a single ticket.

As reported by the BC SPCA, only 19 out of 152 municipalities and two out of 27 regional districts set limits on tethering, but those

limits vary considerably, from a maximum tethered time of 23 hours a day in Whistler to one hour a day in Burnaby.

The memo noted some munici-palities don’t set a maximum time, but forbid leaving a tethered dog unattended.

“The purpose of (that approach to) regulation was to reduce the risk of tethered dogs harming them-selves by getting caught up in the the tether for extended period of times.”

The issue was raised by an Aldergrove resident in June.

Callie McHardy told council she was “surprised” to learn there was no anti-tether bylaw in Langley when she tried to get help for a dog near her home.

“Just down the street, there’s a dog that’s always chained up,” McHardy told Township council.

Some Langley dogs are left on a tether, unattended, for 24 hours a day, McHardy said.

“They just live their lives on the end of chains.”

Langley City reviewed the same issue last year and found tethering restrictions would be “extremely dif-ficult to enforce” and “almost impos-sible to monitor,” said the report by Carolyn Mushata, manager of legis-lative services.

Mushata said the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS)

receives one or two complaints a month about tethered or chained dogs in both the City and Township.

Limiting the time a dog can be tethered would be “very difficult” to enforce unless it was banned entire-ly or only allowed when the owner is in attendance, LAPS predicted.

The Mushata report warned restricting outdoor tethering “may lead to even worse confinement conditions within the interior of the home, making the situation almost impossible to address.”

“Regulating confinement and tethering of dogs would be extreme-ly difficult to enforce and is not rec-ommended,” the report concluded.

The City animal control law was left unchanged. It requires tethering of dogs, aggressive or not, “in such a manner to prevent the dog from leaving the property.”

It does not set any restrictions on the time or method of tethering or size of the confinement area.

But it does ban the use of choke chains around the neck and confine-ment of a dog in an enclosed space, including a vehicle, without “ade-quate ventilation.”

The report to City council said provincial and federal laws forbid “unnecessary suffering” by animals, but “the legal test for these offenc-es is high, so it is difficult to bring charges under the current legisla-tion.”

Tethering time limit ‘nearly impossible to enforce’

Three days have been set aside for the trial of two alleged senior members of the 856 gang in connection with drug trafficking activities in Langley.

But the trial, to take place in provin-cial court in Surrey, won’t happen until June 2016.

Leonard Pelletier, 48, faces five counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and one count of willfully resisting or obstructing and officer.

Jason Francis Wallace, 26, is charged with six counts of possession of a con-trolled substance for the purpose of traf-ficking.

Neither man is in custody.In July 2014, Wallace and Pelletier

were arrested and B.C.’s gang unit shut down a drug making facility at a man-sion on an acreage in Langley.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit seized $400,000 worth of cocaine, meth, heroin, oxycon-tin and a large quantity of drug-making paraphernalia from a 10,000-square-foot home in the 4600 block of 236 Street.

The rented home, which was cut up into apartments, housed a 20-tonne

press to make cocaine bricks, along with other illicit drugs and paraphernalia. Among the drugs, police seized 44 kg of super buffer, which is used to dilute cocaine so sellers can “double their prof-it.”

The buffer was actually pig deworm-er. The July seizure was one of the larg-est CFSEU has carried out and police believe this will put a big dent in the 856 gang’s business and operations.

Charges against the two weren’t laid until June 2015.

The 856 gang, named after the tele-phone prefix for Aldergrove, started a decade ago “as a bunch of young punks and thugs in Aldergrove doing street-lev-el drug dealing,” said CFSEU Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton.

But they have grown and continue to recruit new members from Aldergrove, he confirmed.

They aren’t at the level of other gangs in the area like the Red Scorpions, but have become the dominant drug traf-ficking gang in the Yukon, Yellowknife, NWT, parts of Alberta and northern B.C.

“They will muscle their way into a market that is kind of untapped and take it over,” said Houghton.

Drug-making trial set for next year

The Greater Vancouver Zoo has a new owner who has big plans for the 120-acre Aldergrove site.

The zoo announced the sale in a press release Monday that did not identify the buyer.

It said the new owner is originally from China but has been living in Metro Vancouver for the last 10 years.

“Many years ago he began his career as an English teacher but for several years now, he has been a successful

entrepreneur with a passion for creating interesting and exciting places for people to have fun,” the statement said.

The anonymous owner has hired an expert in eco-friendly zoo design, Bernard Harrison and Friends to devel-op a 20-year master plan for the whole facility. The zoo said Harrison and two other exhibit specialists from the U.S. visited the Greater Vancouver Zoo this summer.

Greater Vancouver Zoo was called the Vancouver Game Farm when it first opened in 1970.

Bob and Nimi SanghaCouple host Indian tour in support of Langley Hospital

Who’s who

Proud Langley residents Bob and Nimi Sangha have joined hands with Bestway Tours & Safaris to put together an excit-ing 16-day grand tour of Northern India, timed to occur during Diwali (Festival of Lights) in 2016.

Have you ever thought about visiting Northern India? What better way to do that than to be personally escorted by hosts who speak the language and un-derstand the customs?

A portion of the tour fee will be do-nated to Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation and each participant will re-ceive a $500 tax receipt. This unique op-portunity to support Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation will cover several UNESCO World Heritage sites and will visit Amritsar, Udaipur, Ranakpur, Push-kar, Jaipur, Agra and Delhi.

Bob is the proud owner of Surlang Medicine Centre and he and his wife,

Nimi, are long-time Langley residents. After a recent visit at Langley Memo-rial Hospital, Bob and his family were so grateful for the care provided to their Mom, that they made a $2,000 dona-tion for shower chairs for the Family Practice Teaching Unit. This 18-bed unit offers care to frail, elderly patients aged 85-plus who do not have a family doctor or whose family doctor does not work within the hospital.

Bob and Nimi are excited about this opportunity to help the hospital that has cared so well for their family.

Interested locals are invited to learn more about this opportunity at the up-coming Information Session Wednes-day, Nov. 18, 7-8 p.m. at Township of Langley Civic Facility (20338 – 65 Avenue) in the Yorkson Creek Room. RSVP: 604-533-6422 or [email protected]

Six-year-old Wyatt Flores worked up quite an appetite on a recent Wednesday, putting out a car fire, trying out an extinguisher and riding in a fire truck to pick up the mayor.

Wyatt’s name was drawn as the winner of the the Township of Langley Fire Department’s annual Junior Fire Chief For a Day con-test, giving him the opportunity to spend time with firefighters, wear his own gear and hat, try out rescue techniques and point a fire hose.

“Riding in the fire truck,” was the Dorothy Peacock Grade 2 stu-dent’s favourite part of the day.

His exciting morning finished up with the Safety Stars 2015 lun-cheon at the Murrayville Fire Hall, where more than a dozen Langley residents and Township fire depart-ment staff were awarded safety stars to recognize and reward individu-als and companies who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

In all, 14 business people and members from the community were awarded safety stars —10 for taking action to prevent the loss of life and/or property either through preventative measures or action in crisis.

Brandon and Nicholas Peet were given the award after being first on scene to a serious crash involving a motorcycle on Aug. 12, that claimed the life of a father and seriously injured his young son.

The Peets stopped to provide help, stabilizing the injured patient until the fire department arrived and was able to take over.

Brendan Black was awarded a safety star for jumping into action on June 24, when flames in a hedge set fire to his neighbour’s home

Black grabbed a garden hose

and extinguished the blaze before fire crews arrived.

Three employees of Redwoods Golf Course were also given safety stars for their heroic actions on Aug. 30.

Following the big windstorm, Redwoods was on day 2 without power and running many genera-tors, with weddings going on both days. At around 2:30 p.m. guests had started to arrive, when restau-rant manager Tim LaHay spotted smoke rising from one of the gen-erators running outside the front doors of the clubhouse.

He saw that the electrical cord had made contact with the exhaust pipe and arced, causing flames to shoot to the side of the gas can beside the generator. LaHay yelled fire and staff ushered everyone out-

side to the parking lot.LaHay ran back to the fire to put

out it out, only to find a jerry can ablaze with eight-foot-high flames.

While attacking the fire, he was joined by chef Brady Girard, a member of the Redwoods safety committee, who grabbed the chem-ical fire extinguisher. Former opera-tions director Dayna Birch also used an extinguisher and together they put out the blaze with no one getting hurt or damage done to the clubhouse. Township fire crews arrived moments later, which allowed for some unique photo opportunity for the groomsmen and young children attending the wedding.

Brett Savage, also a Township safety star, saved the life of a young woman who was drowning in Cultus Lake.

He jumped into the water with his air mattress and brought the girl to shore. She was left so weak by her ordeal that she couldn’t stand.

This year’s Safety Stars were: In the Action category: Troy Naber, David Zhao, Brandon Peet, Nicholas Peet, Brendan Black, Jamie Campbell, Brett Savage Tim LaHay, Dayna Birch, Brady Girard. In the Advocate category for pro-motion of fire safety is Gary Darling and Pat Rosen. In the Partner award is Monica Stelp, Shandy Edwards, staff from Sandman who helped Township fire organize a confer-ence there.

To celebrate their achieve-ments, the 2015 Safety Stars had a special day with the Township Fire Department. Stars donned turn-out gear, participated in hands-on activities at the fire training ground, and were treated to lunch and a cer-emony where they were recognized by fire officials and Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese.

The second survey of Township residents about the proposed 16 Avenue expansion got underway Monday (Oct. 19).

The online poll at the Township municipal website will be up until Nov. 2.

It can be accessed here.The second poll was ordered by

council because the first, in July, drew complaints that many resi-dents were away and could not par-ticipate.

The 16 Avenue Corridor Study was commissioned by Surrey, Langley Township, Abbotsford, provincial ministry of transporta-

tion and infrastructure, ICBC and TransLink to look at short-term, medium-term and long-term plans for the route.

The road has seen traffic increase roughly two per cent every year, going from 8,880 vehicles per day in 1992 to 12,400 vehicles in 2011.

About 13 to 16 per cent of that is truck traffic, above the average arterial road, which carries five to 10 per cent trucks.

It is a designated truck route and part of the regional Major Road Network (MRN).

The corridor study proposes short-term improvements over the next five years that include more

signage and lighting, speed enforce-ment, pull-out lanes for slow-mov-ing farm vehicles, reducing the number of driveways and wildlife fencing.

Medium-term improvements, six and 15 years down the line, include the Abbotsford proposal and would also add two-way left lanes and upgraded traffic signals.

Long-term improvements, beyond 15 years, call for widening the corridor to four lanes.

The 168 people who responded to the first survey listed safety and traffic congestion concerns as their top issues and said widening of the 25-kilometre road should happen sooner than scheduled.

Second 16 Avenue survey underway

Township Councillor Bob Long says drivers arriving in Langley from Highway 1 are seeing too much trash on the road.

Long says he was “appalled” to learn the overpasses people use to exit the highway into Langley Township are only getting cleaned every 120 days.

The result is “the buildup of litter to an unsightly level” and a

less-than-attractive first impression for visitors, Long told the Monday afternoon meeting of Township council.

The overpasses are under the control of the provincial ministry of highways, which sets the main-tenance standards for the private contractors who perform the street sweeping and other cleaning.

“What’s reasonable is to keep it clean,” Long said.

The rest of council agreed, sup-

porting Long’s proposal to lobby the minister of transportation and local MLAs for closer monitoring and more frequent litter pickup.

The maintenance of all provin-cial roads in B.C. was privatized in 1987, with 2,280 provincial employees transferred to the new-ly-created private road and bridge maintenance companies.

One study suggests the change saved the government about 10 per cent a year on road maintenance.

The second survey of Township residents about the proposed 16 Avenue expansion got underway Monday (Oct. 19).

The online poll at the Township municipal website will be up until Nov. 2.

It can be accessed here.The second poll was ordered by

council because the first, in July, drew complaints that many resi-dents were away and could not par-ticipate.

The 16 Avenue Corridor Study was commissioned by Surrey, Langley Township, Abbotsford, provincial ministry of transporta-

tion and infrastructure, ICBC and TransLink to look at short-term, medium-term and long-term plans for the route.

The road has seen traffic increase roughly two per cent every year, going from 8,880 vehicles per day in 1992 to 12,400 vehicles in 2011.

About 13 to 16 per cent of that is truck traffic, above the average arterial road, which carries five to 10 per cent trucks.

It is a designated truck route and part of the regional Major Road Network (MRN).

The corridor study proposes short-term improvements over the next five years that include more

signage and lighting, speed enforce-ment, pull-out lanes for slow-mov-ing farm vehicles, reducing the number of driveways and wildlife fencing.

Medium-term improvements, six and 15 years down the line, include the Abbotsford proposal and would also add two-way left lanes and upgraded traffic signals.

Long-term improvements, beyond 15 years, call for widening the corridor to four lanes.

The 168 people who responded to the first survey listed safety and traffic congestion concerns as their top issues and said widening of the 25-kilometre road should happen sooner than scheduled.

Township Councillor Bob Long says drivers arriving in Langley from Highway 1 are seeing too much trash on the road.

Long says he was “appalled” to learn the overpasses people use to exit the highway into Langley Township are only getting cleaned every 120 days.

The result is “the buildup of litter to an unsightly level” and a

less-than-attractive first impression for visitors, Long told the Monday afternoon meeting of Township council.

The overpasses are under the control of the provincial ministry of highways, which sets the main-tenance standards for the private contractors who perform the street sweeping and other cleaning.

“What’s reasonable is to keep it clean,” Long said.

The rest of council agreed, sup-

porting Long’s proposal to lobby the minister of transportation and local MLAs for closer monitoring and more frequent litter pickup.

The maintenance of all provin-cial roads in B.C. was privatized in 1987, with 2,280 provincial employees transferred to the new-ly-created private road and bridge maintenance companies.

One study suggests the change saved the government about 10 per cent a year on road maintenance.

Harvey Rempel and his friend Danny Kitsul have been talking about a reunion for years — some-thing for the people who, like Rempel and Kitsul, went to school in the North Otter and Brown Road areas of Langley back in the 1950s and ’60s.

“We all grew up on 240th and 56th,” Rempel said.

“We all had to walk to school.”One day, Rempel says, Kitsul

announced it was time to stop talk-ing about it.

Kitsul, owner of the Poppy Estate Public Golf Course on 248 Street near Fraser Highway, was willing to cater the informal lunch-time get-together.

So the friends put the word out — Kitsul by email and text mes-saging, Rempel by more primitive means.

“I’m still on the land line,” he said.

More than 150 people showed up, packing the parking lot and fill-ing the golf course restaurant.

“Everybody phoned and said they were coming,” Rempel said.

Some, like Rempel, an Aldergrove resident, hadn’t moved

very far. Other came from more distant locations like Osoyoos, Vernon and Ladysmith.

“A lot of them, I haven’t seen since we left school,” the 78-year-old Rempel said.

Kitsul, who Rempel credits as the driving force behind the reunion, was unfortunately unable to attend the event due to an unex-pected illness.

North Otter takes its name from Otter Road, the historic name for 248 Street between 72nd Ave (Springbrook Road) and “0 Ave” (Boundary Rd).

It was named after Colonel William Dhillon Otter, who served in the North West Rebellion and later commanded the first Canadian contingent in the South African War.

Reunion a ‘blast from the past’

DAN FERGUSON PHOTOAfter years of talking about it, Harvey Rempel and a friend orga-nized a reunion for people who lived in the North Otter and Brown Road areas of Langley back in the ‘50s and ‘60s. More than 150 people showed up Saturday at the Poppy Golf Course.

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s View

By JEFF NAGELAldergrove Star

A leading municipal law-yer predicts cities and senior governments will be under increased pressure to house the homeless as a result of a new court ruling that they can’t be stopped from camp-ing in parks overnight.

Jonathan Baker says the B.C. Supreme Court decision that Abbotsford can’t evict the homeless from a municipal park has broad implications for other communities, which may see more camps spring up in public spaces.

By making homeless tents a potential ongoing legal fix-ture in local parks, he said, the court has sent a signal that the problem can’t simply be cov-ered up or chased away.

“You can’t govern by shov-ing a problem from neigh-bourhood to neighbourhood or from city to city,” Baker said. “You can’t do it with environmental pollution and you can’t do it with men-tal health. That’s what this means.”

He said the Abbotsford decision by Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson was “very balanced” in that it did not require permanent homeless camps to be estab-lished. Advocates there had demanded a designated tent city, with facilities including washrooms.

It largely mirrors a 2008 B.C. Court of Appeal ruling on use of parks in Victoria.

In both cases, courts have held that cities with insuffi-cient shelter spaces for local homeless can’t enforce their bylaws that normally prohibit overnight camping in parks, although tents must come down during the day so parks

can be enjoyed by other citi-zens.

In Victoria, that’s meant daily police patrols to rouse homeless campers each morn-ing at 9 a.m. and cajole them to take down their tents until 7 p.m., when they can go back up again.

“Both courts are saying that the problem of people camping in parks is really a major mental health and social problem and ultimately it has to be addressed by gov-ernments, one way or anoth-er,” Baker said.

He called it a “marked departure” by the judicia-ry from 1984, when B.C. Supreme Court let the City of Vancouver oust sex workers from the West End, prompt-ing them to migrate to other neighbourhoods.

He said sees “tremendous” potential for an appeal of the Abbotsford ruling –  if either side sees enough potential benefit for the cost.

In the meantime, he said, all levels of government should redouble their efforts to work together to provide lasting solutions.

Baker said too many municipalities are concocting new definitions of low-cost housing that translate into tiny yet expensive apartments

and fail to respond to the problem. Some of the home-less simply can’t be housed conventionally, he said, add-ing some may need a modern type of institutionalization that blends support with some freedom.

That will take political will from the provincial or federal government, he said, because it requires a coordinated approach across municipal boundaries.

“If any one municipality came up with a true solution to homelessness – providing shelter of some sort –  that’s where everybody would go and there’d be a shortage again.”

Maple Ridge grappled with a tent city along a public street this year.

The municipality waited until a new winter shelter opened and then persuaded the camped homeless to relo-cate, many of them to subsi-dized rentals, although offi-cials had been prepared to use an injunction if necessary.

A winter shelter is being opened this year in Surrey, which is home to the sec-ond largest number of esti-mated homeless in the region after Vancouver and has also sought to remove tent encampments.

Ruling shines spotlight on homelessness

Part of the homeless encampment in Abbotsford that precipi-tated a court battle with the city.

Voting system distorts choicesEditor: Canada’s winner-take-all voting system has significantly distorted

the will of Canada’s electors, handing an un-earned majority to one party. Today, we do not have the government that we voted for.

Nationally, Liberals earned the votes of 39.5% of Canadian voters, yet the voting system handed them over 54.4% of the seats in the House of Commons as a result. This is a majority government… on only a minority of the vote. The desire for change was clearly evident in the results, but our winner-take-all system granted the Liberal Party many more seats than their vote merits, and shut out other voices.

The First Past The Post voting system yielded the Trudeau Liber-als a solid majority (elected or leading) of 184 seats, more than the 170 threshold for a majority. A number of experienced, long-time Members of Parliament were swept away with the Liberal landslide.

A proportional voting system would have granted 134 seats to the Liberals (less than a majority), 108 seats to the Conservatives, 67 to the NDP, 16 to the Bloc and 12 to the Greens. Today we should have a minority government in place in Canada

Regional distortions are also evident. The Bloc, with its geograph-ically concentrated 4.7% of the vote gained 10 seats, but the Greens with diffuse support and 3.4% of the vote only achieved one seat.

Last month, over 500 Canadian academics, including several Fel-lows of the Royal Society of Canada, 29 Canada Research Chairs and two Professors with the Order of Canada, called on all political parties to work together to bring in a fairer electoral system.

It should no longer be acceptable to have a system that disenfran-chises a third of the electorate, forces people to vote strategically, or distorts the will of voters. It’s time we modernized our dysfunc-tional democracy so that election results truly reflect they way elec-tors vote.

Township appreciates inputEditor: On behalf of the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engage-

ment, Township of Langley Council, and Township staff, I would like to thank everyone who came out to the three Public Engage-ment Open Houses and helped make them a success.

These interactive, drop-in events were held on Tuesday, October 20 in Willoughby, Thursday, October 22 in Aldergrove, and Satur-day, October 24 in Brookswood so that residents from throughout the municipality could express their views on how public engage-ment could be enhanced in our planning policies and processes.

Close to 300 people participated in the Open Houses and we were pleased to see citizens making the time to share their thoughts and ideas on how to improve dialogue between the Township and its residents regarding community planning. When it comes to managing growth and planning our neighbourhoods, people have many different viewpoints, all of which are valuable, and we want to ensure everyone has a chance to be heard.

Input collected from the Open Houses, along with other informa-tion and feedback received by the Committee over the past several months, will be used to form a new engagement policy, guidelines, and suggested tools for the planning process that will be presented to Council for consideration by the end of the year.

Thank you again for all of your help and contributions.For more information on the Mayor’s Standing Committee on

‘Trash talk’ not worthyEditor:“Justin hairdo… you can’t live on fairy tales and cotton candy” …

hard to believe these comments were made by a longstanding M.P, who even suggested God is somehow a Conservative.

It was my understanding that the role of the opposition was to co-operate in the work of government by providing reasoned debate, and support where there is a consensus of opinion. Mark Warawa has, by his comments, denied himself any chance of being taken seriously in Ottawa. I only hope he has the courage to apologize for his schoolyard rants. No, they wouldn’t be tolerated in a schoolyard.

Langley residents will be able to get into the spirit of Christmas early, at the Thank You For Caring Tea — a fundraiser to benefit the Christmas Bureau. It takes place on Sunday, Nov. 22 at Cascades Casino and Resort.

Now in its fourth year, the tea is hosted by the wives of Langley’s two mayors, Debbie Froese and Jean Schaffer, joined by their daughters Marilyn Morgan and Kirsten Charlesworth.

The tea, which begins at 1 p.m. and continues until 4 p.m., can accommodate up to 500 people. Last year it sold out quickly.

It’s the Christmas Bureau’s big-gest fundraiser, said bureau co-ordinator Leigh Castron. Last year, the tea raised more than $30,000.

“We are so grateful for this tea and all it brings to the bureau and families at Christmas,” said Castron.

Because it has become such a big fundraiser, a solid crew of vol-unteers make the entire day go smoothly.

As with other years, bureau co-chair Jim McGregor will emcee the tea, with Steve ‘Elvis’ Elliott provid-ing the entertainment.

The Langley Community Music School will once again pro-vide chamber music. Frosting Cupcakery will provide the deli-cious desserts. Finger sandwiches will also served and women are encouraged to dress up and wear fascinators or fancy hats.

For Froese, it’s knowing the good the tea can do for the Christmas Bureau that makes all the effort worthwhile.

“I love the awareness it brings of the Christmas Bureau and how many families can be helped out because of this event,” she said.

Both Froese and Schaffer also volunteer at the bureau each year.

“It’s humbling, watching the faces of the parents who are able to pick out what they want to give to their kids,” said Froese.

Schaffer is going into her sev-

enth year volunteering with the bureau in the sponsorship division.

“Last year the generosity of this community in sponsorships was overwhelming, just amazing,” said Schaffer.

In 2014, the Christmas Bureau helped out more than 800 families and 1,700 children.

The tea started out as the Mayors’ Wives Tea fundraiser but now their daughters, Marilyn and Kirsten, are just as much a part of organizing the tea as they are, the moms said.

“I’m seeing a lot of mothers and daughters coming to the tea togeth-er. What’s neat for us is my daugh-ter helps out and now my grand-daughter, who is 10, wanted to get involved and she is helping too,”

said Schaffer.Schaffer said the tea allows

women to dress up and come together.

“There aren’t many opportuni-ties for people to dress up anymore and that’s fun,” she said. “It’s a won-derful way to spend the day.”

There will be dozens of silent auction items and they are bringing back the popular Christmas cracker raffle. They will have 500 crackers available for $10 each. They sell out fast, said the organizers.

There will be one-of-a kind jew-elry made by local artists up for grabs among other exciting items.

Tickets are $25 and can be pur-chased at the Christmas Bureau, Frosting Cupcakery and JD Farms and deli.

Remembrance Day:Lest We ForgetWe must remember. If we do not, the sacrifi ces of those hundreds of thousands of Canadians will be meaningless. They died for us, for our homes, for our families, and our friends.

They gave of themselves for a collection of traditions

Canadians cherish, and a future we all believed in. They died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifi ce and

their valour rests with our collective national

consciousness.

Top 10 Reasons to Support Locally Owned Businesses1. Local Character and ProsperityIn an increasingly homogenized world, communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character have an economic advantage.

2. Community Well-BeingLocally owned businesses build strong communities by sustaining vibrant town centers, linking neighbors in a web of economic and social relationships, and contributing to local causes.

3. Local Decision-MakingLocal ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.

4. Keeping Dollars in the Local EconomyCompared to chain stores, locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community.

5. Job and WagesLocally owned businesses create more jobs locally and, in some sectors, provide better wages and benefits than chains do.

6. EntrepreneurshipEntrepreneurship fuels Aldergrove’s economic innovation and prosperity, and serves as a key means for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class.

7. Public Benefits and CostsLocal stores in town centers require comparatively little infrastructure and make more efficient use of public services relative to big box stores and strip shopping malls.

8. Environmental SustainabilityLocal stores help to sustain vibrant, compact, walkable town centers-which in turn are essential to reducing sprawl, automobile use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution.

9. CompetitionA marketplace of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innova-tion and low prices over the long-term.

10. Product DiversityA multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based, not on a national sales plan, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices.

“The founders shifted gears and turned their offering into the discount coupon service Groupon. They learned, adapted and made a fortune,” Bergeron says. Two years later, the shift in focus proved profi table: Groupon ballooned from a few dozen employees to 10,000 and was the fastest company in history to make US$1 billion in revenue.

Bergeron advises entrepreneurs to adopt a “try, try again” philosophy. At its core: learning from mistakes and showing resilience, a new business approach that is growing in popularity in today’s rapidly changing economy, he says. Instead of the old model, which emphasized extensive planning before launching a

new venture—by which time technology and markets may change substantially—the new approach favours a lean and nimble start-up.

The idea is to engage customers early with a basic product, even if you haven’t worked out all the bugs. The second step: Learn quickly from customer feedback and missteps. Third: Constantly refi ne your efforts. And the fi nal secret ingredient: Don’t give up.

“I don’t think fear is all bad. It can be healthy and reasonable. It keeps entrepreneurs from making rash decisions,” Conroy says. “But it’s important to avoid excessive hesitation and waiting for the exact perfect moment. Trying, failing and trying again is much better than not trying at all.”

CANADIANS SLOW TO ACCEPT FAILURE

How do entrepreneurs turn failure into success? “They have had a knack for seeing failure as an opportunity or challenge,” says BDC’s Michel Bergeron. “When solution ‘A’ didn’t work, they tried solution ‘B’ if they were still convinced there was a need. Or they decided to meet a different need and, in the process, found a new path. The setback helped them identify a weakness, and they fi xed it.”

Deborah Conroy of EY agrees. She cites a 2013 EY survey that found the following:

Over one third of Canadian entrepreneurs (35%) said business failure is seen as a barrier to future business prospects. This is 9 percentage points higher than the average across the G-20 countries, which was 26%.

Canadian entrepreneurs may be more worried about failure because of “higher expectations,” but they should also keep in mind Canada’s “many entrepreneurial upsides,” such as the low cost of starting a business, the survey authors noted.

It has been my privilege to get to know so many of the customers who visit our store as a regular part of their grocery shopping experience. Getting to know the people of the community has provided me with feedback which we use to try and make your shop in our store a better one.  One of the biggest changes in that time has been the PC Plus program. It is a great program where you get rewards based on your shopping and those rewards quickly turn into free groceries. Right now customers will notice that we are going through some transition in some of our sections as we are brought up to date with technology.

Cranky’s journey began in 2002 in a 400sqft garage in rural Alder-grove. After a few years of growth it became obvious that a larger more central location was required. We moved into our current location: a renovated farmhouse in the downtown commercial district.

Our small beginnings birthed an appreciation for every customer’s contribution to the life of the business. We continue to strive to provide quality service coupled with great products from reputa-ble companies.We also have a great appreciation for the community that supports us and we try to give back where we can through the sponsorship of com- munity events, supporting local fundraisers and providing mechanical support for local charity rides.

We look forward to growing with Aldergrove toward a bright future!

Sarah Potomak will wear the Maple Leaf once again.

Potomak was named to Canada’s national women’s team for the upcoming 4 Nations Cup. It will be held Nov. 4 to 8 in Sundsvall, Swe.

The competition will feature Canada — the defending champion — as well as Finland, the United States and the host Swedish side.

Potomak, who turns 18 in December, is in her freshman season with the University of Minnesota hockey program.

The Aldergrove teen has represented Canada numerous times, includ-ing winning gold in 2014 and silver in 2015 at the U18 world champion-ships.

“We’re excited about the group chosen to rep-resent Canada, and we’re looking forward to get-ting on the ice in Sweden

for the first time together as a team this season,” said Laura Schuler, the head coach of Canada’s national women’s team. “Our players have been working extremely hard, and this event is a fantas-tic opportunity for them to unite on the interna-tional stage as they aim to defend Canada’s gold medal.”

The tournament will also act as an evalua-tion opportunity for the Canadian coaching staff as they get set to select a team for the 2016 IIHF women’s world champi-onships in Kamloops in April.

Langley’s Jonathan Stein and Kaelen Anderson each had an assist.

The rematch was the next day at the Richmond Oval with Hunter and Aldergrove’s Baxter Anderson both scoring once and setting up another goal in the 2-2 tie. Stein had an assist.

Local Ride Racing’s 2015 edi-tion of Pumpkin Cross is approach-ing quickly, and this year’s event will again include amazing cyclo-cross racing with its much loved Halloween-themed festivities.

It will be held on Sunday, Nov. 1 at the North Alouette River Greenway Park in Maple Ridge.

Entering its ninth season, the Maple Ridge based Pumpkin Cross has grown to be one of B.C.’s big-gest cyclo-cross races – one that has been a big supporter of women’s racing, youth initiatives and high performance.

Liv Cycling Canada’s Sandra Walter will be back on board offer-ing her “Women’s Only” clinic at the venue on Oct. 31. This fun and informative clinic will intro-duce participants to the unique and fun sport of cyclo-cross, while preparing the riders to take part in Sunday’s competition. There is also a $30 special price for first-time beginner women, which includes the clinic, Sunday’s race, and one-event insurance.

Pumpkin Cross is also part of the Cycling BC Premier Cyclocross series, a six-event series that tracks riders’ results in all categories as they compete for the honour of being crowned overall series cham-pion. For information on the series, please go to www.cyclingbc.net.

The Ridge Meadows Child Development Centre will be back with their Adapted Wheeled race, an event that encourages young athletes to challenge a course on their wheeled machine of choice. There will be full youth categories and a special price for all riders under the age of 19.

Cycling BC’s iRide program is returning for 2015 offering free coaching and skill develop-ment sessions for youth. Pumpkin Cross’s free and popular kid’s race will return, offering riders fun on their own race course.

“It is great to see how the cyclo-cross community has supported Pumpkin Cross over the years. The costume contest has almost become a bigger component of the event than the race itself. With so many partners on board, I am sure we will see record numbers for the event,” said race director Barry Lyster. “We are also inviting spon-sors and vendors to be part of this cyclo-cross festival.”

Registration is now open. For more information, to register, and for vendor and sponsorship oppor-tunities, go to www.localride.ca.
