The ALC has turned down plans – at least for now – to pave a road and overpass through Milner farmland. by Matthew Claxton and Troy Landreville [email protected]The value of farmland out- weighs the value of an over- pass, the Agricultural Land Commission has decided. A controversial plan for a road and overpass in the Milner area would be too damaging to local agriculture, according to a letter sent to Langley Township by the ALC. A letter from Richard Bullock, chair of the ALC, says: “…the commission found that the proposal, in its entirety, would negatively impact the agricultur- al capability and sustainability of lands within the Agricultural Land Reserve.” However, the decision does not rule out any overpass. It notes that most, but not all of the ALC’s conditions for allow- ing the plan were met. The letter also acknowledged that the ALC is willing to work with the governments and cor- porations involved to resolve the overpass issue. Revised proposals would likely be processed faster now that the ALC has a great deal of informa- tion on the issues at stake, the letter said. Of the four ALC commission- ers for this area, two voted to refuse the application, while two voted against the motion. Under ALC regulations, tie votes result in applications being turned down, according to the docu- ments released Friday. The land commission said in a statement it would work with the overpass proponents on a new plan that would meet its requirements. The decision pleased oppon- ents of the controversial plan. For the past 25 years, Earl Mufford has farmed about 600 acres in the Milner area for hay and forage crops. Part of that land is a 90-acre plot immedi- ately north of Mufford Crescent. Mufford, whose fam- ily settled in Langley in 1885, agrees with the ALC’s decision, saying it will help save a section of those 90 acres from being, he said, “severed” by road expan- sion. Mufford said a potential over- pass in the area should connect onto existing roadways, such as Glover Road, and believes Glover and existing routes need to be upgraded to accommodate more traffic. “They seem to plan overpasses away from existing highways,” Mufford said. “The overpasses should be either on, or connect- ed, to existing highways.” Township Mayor Rick Green said he will be working to pull together all the funding partners to start talking about a new design. The partners include the Township, the province, the federal government, the railway firms, and TransLink. “This really doesn’t have to be that difficult a process,” Green said. Councillor Charlie Fox, one of the major- ity on Township council who voted for the project, said the Township will bear the costs of redesigning the over- pass. This is because it doesn’t get money from other governments and partners until the project starts. The overpass was planned to connect 64th Avenue between 204th and 216th Streets, over rail lines and Highway 10. Proponents said it would get traffic around frequent trains.

A marketing firm recruiting reps inLangley has drawn complaints fromlocal residents.by Matthew [email protected]
A multi-level marketing scheme expandinginto Langley is under investigation in theU.S. and is facing allegations of unsavourypractices there.
Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing calls itself a“network marketing” or “relationship mar-keting” company, using personal connec-tions and social networking to sell a varietyof products.
The company has come under fire forits practices in the United States, largelybecause it pays its members for signing upnew members.
That’s a warning sign that a company maybe a pyramid scheme, say government andbusiness watchdogs.
Gabrielle Tasse of the Competition Bureauof Canada said standard multi-level market-ing companies make their money sellingproducts.
“[Pyramid schemes] make their money offrecruiting others,” Tasse said.
She couldn’t comment directly on FHTM,or say whether there have been complaintsor if there are any investigations at present.
The Langley Advance sat in on a recentFHTM meeting, held in the LangleyTownship’s council chambers on aWednesday evening. The first portion of themeeting was held to recruit new members.The emphasis for much of the hour and ahalf meeting was on signing up still moremembers.
A top rep for the company in B.C. saidreps undertake a two-step process: step oneis selling products and services, step two isintroducing the program to others.
“New guests in the room, your job is tobuild teams of 12,” said Derek Sheane.
Along with Jessica Ward, Sheane toldthe crowd the couple joined 10 months agoand have quit their regular jobs to focus onFHTM full time.
Sheane and Ward empha-sized that “anyone can do thisbusiness,” and encouragedthose signing up to then go outand sign up more people.
“Then we help them do theexact same thing,” he said.
New members must pay$250 to join. Members then geta $125 direct deposit paymentfor each new recruit they sign up.
The company does sell a number of prod-ucts online, including vitamins (from a firmowned by the FHTM founder), travel ser-vices, a roadside assistance package, VoiPservices, and cellphone coverage. When aproduct is sold, the sales rep gets a percent-age of the value of the sale. For an ongoingcontract such as cellphone service, the per-
centage is received every month.Rewards and promotions within the com-
pany’s structure include a strong emphasison developing a large network of recruits.Free trips, and even leased Lexus sedans,are available for people who hit certain tar-gets.
Sheane and Ward recentlyqualified for a Lexus.
The reps also encouragedpeople to sign up for many ofthe products themselves.
Susan (not her real name)never got anywhere near aLexus in her brief time withFHTM. Unemployed since shewas laid off several years ago,Susan was invited by a friend who wasalready a member.
The Maple Ridge woman signed up twomonths ago, paying $299 to become a mem-ber. She then had to immediately accumu-late three “customer points” to begin sellingand recruiting.
She paid for the company’sonline office system, which hasa video site and telephone ser-vice, and keeps track of sales.
“It came to another $150bucks on top of that,” she said.
“At first, they seemed veryhelpful,” she said of the com-pany’s reps.
Susan quickly realized thatthe system was not for her.
Within a week of joining, on Sept. 30, shehad decided to leave the company, and shetried to get her money back.
She had been told she could get her $299fee back within 10 days, and when shephoned a rep, she was told it would be noproblem.
Then she received an email saying shewould have to return the binders and info
packages she’d been sent, and that shewould have to fax in a signed statement say-ing she was quitting.
Susan said she believes she sent every-thing back in time, but she still hasn’t gotany of her money back.
She said she’s going to keep trying to gether money returned.
John, a Langley man whoasked that his last name notbe used, attended one of theFHTM meetings at Susan’sinvitation.
He said he was immediatelysuspicious, and he didn’tthink most of the productswere worth the price.
“The prices were just horrible,” he said.While the reps talked about how they’re
affiliated with big-named companies suchas Starbucks, Travelocity, and Best Buy, theyare essentially just referring or re-sellingwhen making most sales.
But the biggest issue for John was theemphasis on signing up new people, asopposed to selling products.
John estimated about 90 per cent of thetime at the meeting he attended was devot-ed to talk about signing up more reps.
John said he’s worried that many of theyoung people he saw at the meeting won’tknow the warning signs and will put theirmoney into the company.
FHTM settled with Montana’s state secur-ities commissioner recently, paying $1 mil-lion, including $840,000 in reimbursementsto many of its members.
The company did not admit to any wrong-doing as part of the settlement.
FHTM also had to agree to change itsbusiness practices in Montana. It now onlycharges $75 there to become a representa-tive.

Few frightsfor MountiesFirefighters and police had arelatively easy time in Langley onAll Hallow’s Eve.by Matthew [email protected]
It wasn’t quite as quiet as thegrave, but it was a calm and generallytrouble-free Halloween for Langley’semergency responders.
RCMP officers responded to few ser-ious problems, reported local spokes-person Cpl. Holly Marks.
There were plenty of illegal fire-crackers and fireworks going off, butno reports of people being seriouslyhurt or starting accidental fires.
Nothing serious came to the atten-tion of the Township fire depart-ment at all, said assistant chief BruceFerguson.
“I think the rain just happened tocome at the right time,” Fergusonsaid.
Both Saturday and Sunday nightswere relatively rainy. Ferguson notedthe Sunday night rain began just afterthe younger children were finishedtrick-or-treating, putting a damper onany outdoor mischief by older ghoulsand goblins.
The quiet night was a welcomecontrast to Abbotsford, where a fire-cracker accident seriously damageda 14-year-old boy’s hand. He had tohave reconstructive surgery and atleast one finger had to be reattached.

Our View
ALC right todeny overpass
Even people who knew it was the rightthing to do were probably surprised by theAgricultural Land Commission’s decisionon the Mufford Crescent/Glover Road railoverpass proposal.
The ALC effectively instructed LangleyTownship council and anyone elseinvolved in the project to go back to thedrawing board… and don’t bother comingback until there’s a reasonable solution tothe traffic bottleneck, without jeopardizinga huge tract of viable agricultural land.
From the start, there have been fewpeople who have denied that there is aneed for change at that horrible bit of traf-fic planning that resulted in the nexus ofGlover Road, Mufford Crescent, and theLangley Bypass.
No one denies that the dozen trainsa day create traffic tie-ups that are morethan just a nuisance for impatient motor-ists. They cause potentially dangerousdelays for emergency vehicles – delaysthat will impact those whose lives dependupon arrival times of precious minutes,even seconds.
And no one denies that those dangerswill increase exponentially when trains– approaching two kilometres in length– start passing through in up to triple thecurrent numbers by the time the RobertsBank Port expansions are all completed.
But the farmland is important, too.And solutions have been roughed out
that would save the potential agriculturalrichness of the Milner Valley from theindustrial or commercial developmentthat would become inevitable if a majorthoroughfare were allowed to cut a swaththrough it.
The ALC’s decision won’t be popularwith some members of Township council,or with Kevin Falcon, the former highwaysminister whose ultimatum propelled thefelled proposal forward.
Gee whiz! Premier Gordon Campbell gave usall a couple of tricks in the week leading up toHalloween… and now his minions seem morethan a bit unhappy that we didn’t blindlyaccept them as treats.
Sorry, Mr. Premier, for letting the candy outof the bag.
Here’s the bit from Friday’s edi-torial, Significant value missed,that netted me a phone call fromone of the premier’s chief apolo-gists, Dale Steeves:
Premier Gordon Campbelldidn’t need to waste taxpayers’money to tell us about a 15 percent income tax cut that doesn’tcome close to making up for the HST taxgrab from the province’s working poor– who already have their rebate chequescoming anyway – or for the “middleclass” wage-earners who still will payout more harmonized tax than they willreceive extra on their paycheques.
Apparently, what is at issue is a difference ofopinion over what constitutes “the province’sworking poor.”
In our editorial last week, I thought I wasbeing generous to the premier by drawing theline at people who have jobs that pay so poor-ly that they are beneath the income tax thresh-old. In other words, I defined “working poor”as people who don’t make enough money topay income tax – and so they naturally wouldnot receive any benefit from a 15 per centacross-the-board income tax reduction.
Fifteen per cent of nothing, I found myselfhaving to explain to Mr. Steeves, is nothing.
Heck! They wouldn’t even get any benefitfrom a 100 per cent income tax cut.
Indeed, I am aware that there are peoplein this province who are working for wages
that, while qualifying them to help enrichthe government’s tax coffers, still leave themimpoverished by the time the bills are paidevery pay day.
And some of them will certainly have a fewextra pennies in their pockets after the pre-mier’s generous 15 per cent cut is factored in.
But Mr. Campbell’s $240,000 evening flightof fancy last Wednesday failed to emphasizethat someone getting a 15 per cent tax breakon a $30,000/year income isn’t going to get asbig a benefit as someone earning $70,000 peryear.
Even with the tax cut threshold set at justabove $70,000, people earning$50,000 will have less spend-ing money added to their paycheques than someone earning$150,000… or $750,000.
But then again, even $5 isprobably significant to someonewho has to skip a meal now andagain to ensure the kids get fed.
Indeed, $5 may be even moresignificant to such a person than $500 tosomeone who can afford to hire accountantsto build better tax shelters than the premieroffered in the spooky storytime he hosted onthat pre-Halloween Wednesday night.
On the positive side, I did have the conse-quent opportunity to explain – directly into thePremier’s Office – my concern that, in a prov-ince as inherently rich as British Columbia,there should be any such classification as“working poor.” (I also added my apprecia-tion that the premier was so happily willing toextend that definition even further than I had.)
I feel certain Mr. Steeves eagerly returned tohis boss with my exhortations that somethingbe done about that situation forthwith.
Nevertheless, Mr. Steeves did apparentlyaccept my offer to accept a letter to the editoroutlining the government’s differing opinionover the validity of my Friday editorial.
He “believes” I will be receiving a letterfrom MLA and Parliamentary Secretary forHST Information John Les.

Dear Editor,Your piece on the unification of four area
United Churches provides a facile explana-tion as to why it took place – dwindlingattendance.
Perhaps the obvious is being overlooked.Two years ago, consultants prophesied
that in 10 years the United Church wasgoing to “fall off the cliff.”
I thought that strange, since the UnitedChurch that my Dad helped pull togetherin Melfort, Saskatchewan, in 1925, has sur-vived two World Wars, 10 years of droughtand depression, hard economic times in ahave-not province, all followed by new con-fidence born of the resurgence of today’sresource-based wealth.
Jubilee United in Langley Township choseits name in 2000, the 75th Jubilee anniver-sary year of the United Church of Canada.It grew wealthy through the good gracesof the late Willoughby pioneer Dick Straw.He gave the United Church of Canada afruit orchard on 208th Street, close to 80thAvenue for a nominal sum.
St. Andrew’s United in Fort Langley duti-fully paid the taxes on the property, whilethe fledgling Jubilee United flock met andworshiped there.
Over the years, Jubilee’s BuildingDevelopment Team members consideredoptions for building on the site.
When the 208th Street overpass opened,a neighbourhood contractor donated andinstalled an access culvert. The lack of asewer connection was the only big stum-bling block to developing the 208th Streetlocation. But construction of a sewer lineto service the new Mormon Tabernacle tothe west of Jubilee’s property on 80th Ave.cleared the way for Jubilee’s new church.
A developer snapped up the property for$1.7 million, swapping the orchard for abuilding site plus enough cash to build amortgage-free church nearby.
It was my distinct pleasure to be thefinal chair of the Building DevelopmentTeam and to arrange the formal signingceremony for the down payment and legalpaperwork. I was standing on the shoulders
of some very hard-working former teammembers who believed in the project: theReids, an environmental engineer and hiswife, also an engineer with expertise inbuilding envelopes; Jubilee’s late Rev. Dr.Tom Bulman, who conceived of the plansfor Windsong Co-op Housing and workedwith Georgie Award-winning architect TerryLyster on rezoning the Jubilee propertyfor institutional use; Bob Cormack, withexpertise in site selection; the creativearchitect Kim Rink, who would carry hisenvironmental ideas into plans for Jubilee;retired Cancar and trouble-shooting mech-anical engineer Dick Huff; facilities super-visor Heather Thorne; nurse Nicole Rogers;teachers Heather MacKenzie and RosalindJederman; and retired social worker PaulaMoore-Ansell.
We prepared a request for proposals.An architect was selected and preliminaryplans were discussed by the congregation.
But when the $1.7 million came through,the plans fell through. Our team was“released.”
On Sept. 30, 2010, Jubilee got the cashand the land, and the last laugh was on us,the Building Development Team.
There will be no new church. The cashwill go to pay off the $900,000 mortgage onSharon United in Murrayville. The salariesof Ministry staff will now be secure. Theself-fulfilling prophesy was more than real-ized for Jubilee.
And the very dear Langley pioneer, thelate Dick Straw, will have been forgotten,along with the efforts of those Willoughby/Walnut Grove lay people who worked inChrist’s name to provide a humble place ofworship for the United Church flock.
Church architecture guides suggest thatform should follow function, but in thecase, the faith that followed is in freefall.
Now the final Jubilee United Church min-ister can be found in an office at what sheidentifies as “the five corner site.”
Jubilee is no more.Karen Kersey, Willoughby

Dear Editor,As we approach Nov.
11, Remembrance Day, weprepare to honour our vet-erans.
It is also an appropriatetime to gut-check our pres-ence in Afghanistan, andour international militarysupport in general.
Why are we there? Whydo we do put our military
– our children, really – outthere in harm’s way?
For me the answer issimple: because we live inan imperfect world, andCanada is in a position tomake change for the better.
While Afghanistan is ahot spot needing immediateattention, our world is filledwith all manners of vic-tims: victims of natural and
unnatural disasters; victimsof religious, political, andcultural persecution; victimsof civil war, victims of his-torical events; and victimsof ’phobias and ’isms.
Just watch the news; theevidence is there. They needour help.
Human rights, public andnational safety, food, shel-ter, health, employment,and education are not forthe exclusive enjoyment ofCanadians. All humanityhas a right to these neces-sities.
The day Canada with-holds our military serviceto aid others is the day webecome less human.
In any case, support ourtroops, because these volun-teers bear a heavy burdenof responsibility on behalfof all Canadians. They alsoput themselves in harm’sway for humanity.

Agricultural
Saving farmland was rightDear Editor,
The Agricultural Land Commission has done what the cit-izens of Langley Township have been demanding, and thecitizens got it exactly right: no overpass in farmland.
The current council (at least six of them) are completelyout of touch with the people. Even though they heard from40 speakers at a public hearing, they still did not get it.
Elected councilors should remember they only occupya seat at council by permission of the people. Councillorswho don’t want to listen to the people need to move on.
Build the overpass on the Langley Bypass, where itmakes sense to do it. This is what the people have beensaying since the beginning of this fiasco.

Mounties are trying to stoppanhandling in Langley.
Langley police are askingdrivers to not give money topanhandlers who have taken upspots along busy roads in thedowntown area.
Areas around 200th Street,64th Avenue, Willowbrook
Drive, and the Langley Bypasshave become popular panhand-ling locations. They’ve becomeknown as some of the mostlucrative south of the FraserRiver, said Cpl. Holly Marks ofthe Langley RCMP.
The Safe Streets Act made pan-handling illegal in B.C., Markssaid. Police are also respondingto safety concerns. Drivers havecalled in the Mounties becausethey are worried that the pan-handlers, who move in and outof traffic, will be hurt by cars.
Many of the panhandlers arehomeless, but there are alsoalcoholics and drug addicts,and even some who are simplyunemployed, Marks said.
The panhandlers will stopgathering there when driversstop giving them money, Markssaid.
She advised those who wishto help the homeless in andaround Langley to contribute tothe Gateway of Hope shelter,Stepping Stone, the LangleyFood Bank, or other agencies.
Metro Vancouver homeowners will see a taxincrease of about $44 annually as the regionaldistrict board approved a 5.8 per cent boost to itsbudget.
The regional district is comprised of 23 membercommunities around the Lower Mainland. Langleyis its eastern boundary.
The budget also features a $64 million transferto capital which brings the total tax increase resi-dents will face to 5.8 per cent.
The owner of a $600,000 home will see the $44average increase, making Metro Vancouver’s prop-erty tax share $513. That increase will bring in anextra $33 million for 2011. The regional district’sbudget for next year is $603.4 million.
The Metro Vancouver board decided the tax
increase was needed to sustain operations as wellas hire two dozen new staff.
“The fact that the operational increase has beenlimited to 2.3 percent, even with a contractualwage increase of four percent, reflects the rigour ofthe budget process and Metro Vancouver’s reputa-tion for frugality,” said Board Chair Lois Jackson.
Metro Vancouver is comprised of the GreaterVancouver Regional District, the GreaterVancouver Sewerage and Drainage District andGreater Vancouver Water District as well as over-seeing regional parks.
Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said theregional district faces many challenges, suchas aging infrastructure and that he’s not seeingspending in the budget that isn’t needed.
But he admits that any tax increase is unpopularand Metro Van’s budget does have an impact onmember municipalities. The City is beginning itsbudgeting process for next year.
“We have to think about how that impacts ourtaxpayers,” he said of the regional district increase.

The Canadian CancerSociety has found anotherway to put donated goods touse after having to cancel afundraising dance.
The items were originallydonated for the Jeans andGems gala, which was can-celled due to soft ticket sales.
“We already had all theitems donated by local busi-nesses, so we switched overto an online auction format,”explained Carissa Halley, withthe society’s Langley office.
Using the charity branch ofthe eBay site (which waivesfees), the society is offeringup everything from tickets tocomedy shows and horticul-tural services to yoga pack-ages and Canucks tickets.“The net result of this is thatwe end up with all the pro-ceeds from this auction goingto fund our mission of eradi-cating cancer and improvingthe quality of life for those liv-ing with cancer,” she said.
The Cancer Crushing OnlineChristmas Auction runs Nov.1-21 and supports the work ofthe Canadian Cancer Societyin the Fraser Valley Region.
“The auction name just kind
of came to us, we decided wewanted something that sound-ed a bit catchy and explainedwhat we were doing,” shesaid. “Our volunteers oftenrefer to themselves as ‘CancerCrushers’ and so the nameseemed to naturally fit.”
People go online to http://bit.ly/cancerauction to bid.There are also online photosand descriptions of the items.
The first round runs Nov.1-10. The second round runsNov. 7-17 with round threeNov. 11-21. New items areposted in each round.
“The support of local busi-nesses has been amazing andwe are so happy to be part ofsuch a giving community,”she added.
The winning bidders pickup their items at the Langleyoffice of the cancer society,202-20434 64th Ave. Shenoted that many of the prizesare site specific, such as thefitness passes valid at theLangley location or the spaday at a Cloverdale business.
The society is willing to mailout gift certificates. Anythinglarger must be picked up.
“We are available to coachpeople on how to create aneBay account or to answerany questions that mightcome up for them,” she said.

…continued from A1In addition to having to figure out
how to carry on with the school-ing, staff are also having to contactrenters. Bonnar reeled off a list ofusers: the Fraser Valley Symphony,Fraser Valley Highland Dance,North Langley Football, MP MarkWarawa’s comedy/musical show,and Langley School District schools.
Remembrance Day services for theGrade 1-12 school are impacted asis the high school’s major produc-tion of Nightmare Before Christmas,which may be restaged in Januaryor February, depending on repairs.
Then there’s the Christmas con-certs for the younger grades, studentdance, drama, and music perform-ances that were scheduled in thecoming weeks, a Project KenyaSister Schools show, a social justicemovie night, and the school’s talentshow.
“It’s hard to even begin to scratchthe surface of all the ways this place
is impacted,” Bonnar said.Also feeling the hit are practicum
students who work at the shows puton by outside groups and earn pay,and graduating students.In mid-November, theschool was set to host 15institutions to show stu-dents their post-second-ary options.
Any events that canbe retooled to take placein other spaces will be,but Bonnar noted thatmeans displacing phys-ical education from thegym, which doesn’t havethe equipment for artsperformances, and displacing othersfrom classrooms.
Having to cancel the outside rent-als for November and December willcost $11,000 in additional revenue,money used by the school and theschool district to operate the theatre,which is set up to be financially self-
sustaining.“The external rentals that we get
help subsidize all the things weneed,” Bonnar said.
The fire wasstarted on theatreseating and trig-gered the buildingsprinklers. Townshipfirefighters arrived tofind the fire mostlyout thanks to thesprinklers, and usedan extinguisher toensure the fire wasout.
While repairsget underway, the
Mounties are hoping someone in theneighbourhood saw something thatnight.
“We need help,” Marks said.Anyone with information to share
can call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or, to remain anonymous,CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Expert appraisals brought out manypeople wanting to learn more abouttheir antiques and collectibles.by Heather [email protected]
About 75 people and more than 100items went through theLangley Centennial Museumfor its appraisal fundraiser onOct. 24.
Your Attic Antiques washosted by the museum’sadvisory committee to raisefunds for the communityfacility.
“The whole day has beenfull of really nice pieces,”noted museum services manager JohnRobertson.
Many people simply wanted to knowmore about their prized possessions anda few were surprised at their value.
Alan Bowen, of Bowen Associates,came out from Coquitlam to assess items.The most unique piece to come throughthe door was a large copper vessel.
The patina on the vessel that wasapproximately 200 years old had turnedthe metal black.
“It was from an abattoir,” he explained.“It was a blood bowl.”
The vessel was used to collect bloodfrom animals being butch-ered for meat at an abat-toir owned by the currentowner’s ancestors.
Some owners will haveto wait for their appraisalsto allow for the experts todo some homework.
“We will be doing tracesof some of the fine art,”Robertson explained.
In that category, it’s common to haveto do additional research so the expertstook down as much information as theycould from some pieces and will get backto the owner with more details.

The Renaissance Remembers
Pets like Wallace are given asecond chance thanks to theLAPS gala fundraiser Nov. 5.by Roxanne [email protected]
Langley loves its animals.A true testament to this is
the recent outpouring of sup-port given for this community’shomeless pets at the Patti DaleAnimal Shelter.
In an unexpected scenario, thethird annual Furry Tail Endingsfundraising gala for the LangleyAnimal Protection Society onNov. 5 sold out 13 days ahead ofthe event.
More than 350 guests already havetickets, and there’s a lengthy wait-ing list for the charity event aimedat raising more than $70,000 for theshelter and its programs, explainedshelter manager Sean Baker.
“It’s a nice feeling to know that wehave this big support group,” he said.
All money raised at this year’sevent will once again be directedinto animal care and shelter pro-grams aimed at making the dogs andcats more adoptable.
Part of this year’s proceeds willgo to helping the shelter spay andneuter more than 250 cats a yearthat never come into the shelter. Aportion will help maintain the on-sitetraining program for all dogs priorto adoption. And last, but not least,some of the money is earmarked forLAPS’ medical fund, which helps
fund some of the special medicalcare required for some of the ani-mals that come into the shelter.
One such pet that was adopted justlast month – that required quite a bitof extra medical care – was a two-year-old yellow lab named Wallace.
He was found wandering southAldergrove in late May, and whencaptured, it was immediately discov-ered that he would need veterinariancare. He suffered from a severe infec-tion caused by multiple month-oldpuncture wounds (and even a two-inch-long gash) on his neck.
More than $400 in extra vet billslater, special baths twice a day forseveral weeks, and ear drops andother cleaning necessary to curb theinfection, Wallace was on the mend.
“He quickly became a staff andvolunteer favourite because of hisfriendly personality and charm-
ing good lucks,” Baker said.“Wallace has come so farand always had a positiveattitude considering the statehe was in when he cameto LAPS. He always has histongue out and is a happy-go-lucky guy.”
Finally, with clean ears,healthy skin, regrown fur, andsome new tricks to impressthe humans, he moved intohis new home at the end ofSeptember and was officiallyadopted by Marsha Jerred andMalcolm Johnson on Oct. 7.
He now co-habitats withhis new humans, as well asa bird named Joey and a catnamed Mr. Newman.
“He’s a wonderful additionto our family,” Jerred said.
The funds raised at the annualFurry Tail Endings gala fundraisersare what makes it possible to treat,care for, and train shelter dogs andcats so that they can have a secondchance at a good life.
“People can still support the causewithout attending the event, in twoways,” Baker concluded. “Either bydonating new merchandise or servi-ces for the auction, or they can goonline or call us on the phone andmake a financial donation. It all goesto helping the animals find new andforever homes.”
The LAPS website is www.laps.bc.ca, the shelter is located at 2622056th Ave., Aldergrove, and thephone number is 604-857-5055.

Josh Myers scored four timesover the weekend, but itwasn’t enough to help theLangley juniors solve thePowell River Kings.by Troy [email protected]
The Powell River Kings madeHalloween weekend very scary,indeed, for the Langley Chiefs.
The Kings beat the Chiefstwice, 6-1 Saturday night and4-1 Sunday afternoon, at PowellRiver’s Hap Parker Arena.
The back-to-back home-icevictories improve the Kings’record to a British ColumbiaHockey League CoastalConference-best 15-4-1-1.
The Chiefs meanwhile, havelost five of their last sevengames, as their record drops to astill-respectable 13-6-0-2.
Langley sits second in the con-ference, four points up on theSurrey Eagles.
Chiefs head coach HarveySmyl had mixed reviews of his
team’s play against the Kings.“I think the first game we
didn’t seem to be into it mental-ly,” Smyl said. “I thought they[the Kings] got up early andwe just didn’t have any kind ofpush-back whatsoever. The sec-ond game, I thought we playeda lot better. The score was 4-1but it was a closer game thanthat. We had a better effort.”
Sunday’s game saw the Kingsout-shoot the Chiefs 35-14 andoutscore the visitors 3-0 throughtwo periods.
In the third period, Langley’sJosh Myers scored with 2:47remaining in regulation to nar-row the Chiefs’ deficit to 3-1.
The Kings scored an empty-netmarker with 47 seconds to go inthe game to cap the scoring.
Chiefs goaltender ColeHuggins had a solid outing,stopping 37 of 40 shots.
Powell River Kings 6,Chiefs 1
In a game eerily reminiscentof the BCHL playoffs this pastMarch, the Kings jumped ahead4-1 after 40 minutes of playbefore scoring the only twogoals of the third period.
The game was an unwelcomecase of déja vu for the Chiefs,who were unable to solvePowell River’s defence duringthe 2010 post-season, and weresubsequently dispatched by theKings infour straightgames intheir best-of-seven, sec-ond roundseries.
In theweekendseries’ open-er Saturday,the Chiefs’lone goalcame offthe stick of Myers, who scoredat the 16:49 mark of the secondperiod to slice the Kings’ leadto 3-1.
The Kings scored with 32 sec-onds left in the middle frame tomake it 4-1.
The hosts added two moremarkers in the third stanza,including a goal 1:11 into theperiod, to seal the win.
The Kings outshot the Chiefs40-21 on the night.
Chiefs 3,Nanaimo Clippers 2
The Chiefs returned to FrankCrane Arena, the scene of thecrime – the “crime” being an11-5 thumping absorbed from
Nanaimo thelast time theteams meton Oct. 17– and tookrevenge onthe hometeam.
“We gotoff to a veryslow start inthat game,”Smyl said.“We were
slow to get going, every period,but then we played better andbetter. In the third we had somegood spark going.”
Myers scored twice in thethird period, including the gamewinner with 58 seconds remain-ing in regulation, to lift theChiefs to a come-from-behind,one-goal victory Friday.
The Clippers carried a 2-1 leadinto the third period.
Myers, who recently inked
an NCAA scholarship withMerrimack College starting nextfall, found the net twice as theChiefs kicked off their three-game road trip on a high note.
Chiefs’ captain Trevor Gerlingopened the scoring 4:12 into thegame. The Clippers answeredby scoring just 20 seconds afterGerling’s goal to tie the gameat 1-1, and tallied the only goalof the second period to moveahead by a goal.
Eagles in townThe Chiefs will try to get back
on a winning track Thursdaywhen they host the SurreyEagles at the Langley EventsCentre.
Game time is 7 p.m.Smyl, who noted that the
Chiefs made “some strides” inteam discipline over the week-end, didn’t mince words interms of what he wants to seeout of his team when they clashwith their Lower Mainland rivalsfrom Surrey Thursday.
“You are only as good as yourlast game and come Thursdaywe have to be a heck of a lotbetter than we have been.”

“It was a really good matchtonight. UBC fixed some things andimproved their level of play. Theiremotion and intensity was much bet-ter, which in turn forced our guys tofind a new gear, both in toughnessand in execution. Our guys wereresilient, figured it out, and thenpushed back and played inspiredvolleyball to win a tough match onthe road,” TWU head coach BenJosephson said, after the game. “Alot of emotions are involved in thisrivalry and our guys matched whatUBC brought to earn a two-matchvictory on the road.”
