    Township firefighters hoisted amassive Maple Leaf Flag betweentwo ladder trucks on FraserHighway, a backdrop to the cere-monies at the AldergroveLegion.The Fraser Blues per-

    formed a perfectly timedflypast, arriving in theskies over the Legion asthe Last Post sounded,and returning to add emo-tional punctuation to thetwo minutes of silenceheld in memory of thefallen.Added to the list of

    Legionnaires who passed awayover the past year those whodo not answer were the namesof Warrant Officer Patrice Vincentand Corporal Nathan Cirillo, sol-diers killed on Canadian soil, vic-tims of attacks in Montreal and

    at the nations capital in recentweeks.The ceremony concluded with

    laying of a host of commemora-tive wreaths at the cenotaph.In Langley City, a crowd of

    thousands listened to the LastPost and stood for the moment ofsilence.Among those at the front of

    the crowd were LangleysSecond World War andKorean veterans.Ive never missed one

    Remembrance Day, saidJohn Swityk.Hes laid a cross every

    year since 1946, the firstyear he was home fromEurope on Nov. 11.Swityk served with the

    Regina Rifles and was sent ashoreon D-Day on Juno Beach inNormandy.With Swityk was his friend

    Rodger OBrien, who servedfive years in the Royal CanadianNavy.Swityk laid the wreath repre-

    senting veterans of the Second

    World War.It was one of dozens of wreaths

    laid amid the stiff breeze atthe cenotaph in Langley CitysDouglas Park.Wreaths were laid to represent

    veterans of every war from theFirst World War to the conflict inAfghanistan.The parade this year included

    not only a group of veterans ofthe Canadian military, but localcadets groups, RCMP, City fire-fighters, and Scouts and Guidesof various ages.The honour guard around the

    cenotaph was composed of youngcadets.The annual event is organized

  • Six months in jail ispossible for the womanwho left six dogs in ahot truck.

    by Matthew [email protected]

    The woman who left sixdogs to die in a hot truckin Richmond and thenclaimed they were stolenin Langley has been plead-ed guilty to two charges.Emma Paulsen, a former

    dog walker, appeared inSurrey Provincial CourtWednesday morning and

    pleaded guilty to onecharge under the provin-cial Prevention of Crueltyto Animals Act, and onecharge of public mischieffor falsely reporting acrime.She will be sentenced on

    Jan. 21.Aside from entering her

    guilty plea, Paulsen didnot say anything duringher brief appearance in acourtroom crowded withthe owners of several ofthe dead dogs.Paulsen, a dog walker

    from Delta, had been incharge of six dogs includ-ing one of her own onMay 13 this year.

    She initially called theLangley RCMP to claimthat she had walkedthe dogs at a park inBrookswood, then putthem in the canopy-cov-ered back of her pickupand goneto use thewashroom.She

    claimedthat whenshe returned, the dogs hadvanished.She later admitted that

    the dogs had died afterbeing left in the back ofthe truck on a warm dayin Richmond. Investigatorsfound the dogs in a ditch

    in Abbotsford.According to Crown

    counsel spokespersonGordon Comer, the max-imum sentence undera summary convictionfor Paulsens Cruelty to

    Animals Actconviction issix monthsin jail. Hewould notsay exactly

    what sentence the Crownis likely to seek.Its difficult to find a

    similar case to determinewhat an average sentencefor such a crime would be,Comer said.This is truly a quite

    unique set of circum-stances, he said outsidethe courthouse.Paul Grant, owner of

    Oscar, one of the dogs thatdied in Paulsens truck,watched the guilty plea.Its just another step

    right now, Grant said.Im looking forward tothe final one in the hopethat she sees a little bit ofjustice.Every time he attends

    one of the hearings, ittakes a little bit of timeto get over the feelings itbrings up, Grant said.Oscar was a rescue dog,

    and Grant initially cameout to the searches aroundBrookswood and to a rallythe week they went miss-ing, in the hopes of get-ting the family companionback.But by the second day,

    there were suspicionsamong the dog owners, hesaid.Once wed had time to

    stop and think about thewhole process, it didntseem right, he said.The family got Oscar

    from the Richmond

    Animal Shelter, and Grantsaid the family has decidedto adopt a new dog, also arescue, named Trevor.Hes helping heal us at

    the same time that he getshis forever home, saidGrant.Before the January sen-

    tencing, there may be achance for dog ownersto give victim impactstatements, according toComer.

    It didnt take long for police to find a suspect inthe theft of a Legion poppy box in Murrayville.by Matthew [email protected]

    A 20-year-old man is charged in the second theft of aLegion poppy donation box within two days.Quick response from local Mounties meant a suspect

    was arrested and faces charges.Just before 10 p.m. on Nov. 8, police were called

    about the theft of a donation box from a gas stationin the 21600 block of Fraser Highway, said Cpl. HollyMarks, a spokespeson for the Langley RCMP.The suspect ran away on foot, and before he had got-

    ten far, his description was broadcast to officers nearby.One officer spotted the man quite quickly he was

    less than a block from the store when he was noticed,said Marks.The man was arrested and found with a large amount

    of change in his pockets. Charges will be recommendedagainst the 20-year-old, who has no fixed address. He isto appear in Surrey Provincial Court on Dec. 11.Marks could not say if the suspect is thought to be

    linked to the other theft of a poppy donation box onNov. 6 from the Bibles for Missions thrift store on 200thStreet near Fraser Highway.The thrift shop released a photo of a person of interest

    in that case [Thrift shop poppy box stolen, Nov. 11].The annual poppy campaign by the Royal Canadian

    Legion raises money for veterans and their families.

    North Langley spotted a suspicious looking man driv-ing a GMC pickup full of junk and tools, said Cpl.Holly Marks, a spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.The officer turned around to see where the truck

    was going. The officer, driving an unmarked car andin plainclothes, saw the truck parked at the CarvolthExchange bus loop on 86th Avenue.Approaching the truck, the officer spotted the driver

    not in his vehicle, but underneath a Dodge Rampickup in the next parking stall.The man was allegedly attempting to cut loose the

    catalytic converter.There have been 12 previous incidents of catalytic

    converter theft from the same parking lot over thepast two months, said Marks.The man struggled briefly, but was arrested. He

    was also found to be a prohibited driver, and wasunder conditions that banned him from possessingtools.The 48-year-old Surrey man is now facing charges

    and awaiting a court date on Dec. 18.

    Our View

    Vote as littleas you wish

    You dont have to vote on Saturday.But we think you should.Voting is not a legal requirement in

    Canada, as it is in many parts of the world.We dont understand why any country

    would deem it necessary to force its citizensto exercise their democratic responsibility.But then, we dont understand why so manypeople in this country in this community fail to realize how important a trust hasbeen placed in them in determining theirown future.

    In parts of the world where the respon-sibility to participate in democracy does notexist because democracy does not exist people die or risk death for the privilege.

    Its difficult to accept that so manypeople in Langley City and Township willfind other, far less important things tooccupy their time on Saturday.

    Nevertheless, were not going to tell youhave to vote but we are going to tell youhow to vote although definitely not whoto vote for thats your decision, your priv-ilege, your responsibility.

    Come Saturday morning, you will havebefore you the opportunity to choose amonga large number of candidates seeking to fillthree civic offices, each of which offers avarying number of vacancies.

    You dont have to fill all the spaces.You dont have to cast ballots for all of theoffices. Just vote for the people you feel willbe a good fit for the positions they wish tofill. Is there only one school trustee candi-date you feel comfortable with? Just vote forone. Are there only two councillor candi-dates that you fancy? Just vote for two.

    If you dont like any mayoralty candi-dates, leave that part of the ballot blank.

    Indeed, if there is no one you feel youcan trust, vote for no one. But turn up atthe polls to hand in your ballot. Be includedin the count. Let them know you werethere. Let the successful candidates knowthat the community is paying attention.

    You dont have to make the effort, butwe think you should. Even if you dont likeyour options, let them know you take yourresponsibility seriously.

    Will the increase in civic office terms from three yearsto four years be better or worse for our communities?

    Vote at www.langleyadvance.comLast weeks question:Have you bought your Remembrance Day poppy?

    Advance Poll

    Its election season, and fittingly, this thrice-yearly municipal contest falls in November a month of increasing darkness, destructivestorms, and general unrelieved gloom. Really,the only sensible response to is to go home,make hot chocolate, and hide under blanketsuntil it all goes away. Or to rant about howdemocracy aint all its cracked up to be.Why do we run our democracy

    the way we do? Why do we runpretty much every democracy inpretty much the same way?Go around the world, from the

    faux-elections of Russia and Cubato the genuine representative dem-ocracies, and its the same struc-ture: voters trundle out to pollingplaces, peruse a list of possiblecandidates and pick the least worst option.Democracy simply means rule by the

    people.Winston Churchill famously once said that

    democracy was the worst form of government,except for all the others that had been tried.So why arent we trying new variations ondemocracy?As you head to the polls to pick a mayor and

    councillors, here are a couple of other wayswe could run our civic political system. Wards. Ah, yes, the ever popular ward

    system. Used in a number of communities,including Toronto. Of course, most LowerMainland communities dont have millions ofpeople theres not a single city that tops onemillion, in fact so why go to wards?Because our communities are spread out and

    have distinct neighbourhoods, which are oftenpoorly served by having at large representa-tion. Do you think the folks in Shaughnessyhave much in common with those in theDowntown Eastside? How about folks in

    Langleys fast-growing Willoughby versus ruralGlen Valley? Surreys Cloverdale or Whalley?In many cities, whole neighbourhoods have

    literally no representation neither the mayornor anyone on council lives there. Not coinci-dentally, these tend to be the poorest areas. Sortition. This is the selection of public

    officials by random chance. So your mayorand council would be picked from the listof voters. Does that sound insane? Utopian?Impractical? Exactly like the system of democ-racy used in ancient Athens?Well, we do use sortition already. Its called

    the jury system.So in Canada today, we trust to the wisdom

    of 12 average citizens to decide on the fate ofaccused killers, but to decideon rezoning bylaws, you haveto plaster your face on signs allover town and spend thousandsof dollars on advertising. Thatsnot crazy at all, nope.If we do go this way, we could

    change mayor and council fre-quently. Every three months,say. Which would mean a lot

    of people would get a chance to become act-ive participants in civic government, and ourgovernment would look a lot more like a realcross-section of our communities.If youve ever watched a politician talk and

    thought you might be smarter, give sortition achance! Trial by combat. When theres a controver-

    sial issue, there are always fears that specialinterests are listened to, that leaders havealready made up their minds, and so forth.So why not settle it the way ancient

    Germanic tribes did with axes! Randomchance and the will of Thor shall decide!Okay, maybe not axes, but if a council splits

    and cant reach agreement, why not have anMMA fight to settle things? In this corner, Yeson Bylaw 93-B; in this corner, No. Gentlemen,begin! Two pins out of three wins.Mad? Yes. But we can sell Pay Per View

    rights to development permit hearings.Fighting! For once, it would reduce the cost

    of civic government!

    Painful truth

  • Thu r sday, Novembe r 13 , 2014 A9Letters to the EditorLangleyAdvance

    Dear Editor,I want to thank the Langley

    Advance for presenting thelist of 20 questions tocandidates. I foundthe questions relevantand the answers help-ful in learning aboutthe positions of thecandidates.I am particularly

    concerned about themess made of Willoughby.I am concerned this couldhappen in my neighbour-hood also.I have concerns that

    Surreys nearby CampbellHeights project is creatingdeveloper opportunitiesin Brookswood/Fernridge.I am quite unhappy to seemy taxes rise to pay forinfrastructure related toincreased density, whenit is surely the developersand businesses who enrichthemselves, and the newresidents who inhabit theirhomes and use their servi-

    ces who should pay the fullcost of the infrastructurethey want.

    I see my taxincrease is flow-ing directly into thedevelopers pocketsas a subsidy fromcurrent residents forwhich we receiveabsolutely no benefitand certainly some

    loss of my environment andlifestyle.

    Hal Marsden, Fernridge

    Questions left openDear Editor,On Nov. 6, the Langley

    Advance published a list ofthought-provoking questionsposed to the 25 Townshipmayoralty and councillorcandidates for their visionfor the Township.Twenty-four answered all

    or almost all of the ques-tions. One answered onlyseven. Was it because ofindecision, indifference, or

    arrogance? Its not goodenough for someone whowould be mayor.

    Alan Dodd, Fort Langley

    Questions helpfulDear Editor,As a senior citizen with

    think you deserve good government, thenplease vote.

    Christine Burdeniuk, Walnut Grove

    Difficult to pick a goodmayorDear Editor,After attending two Langley Township

    forums for the upcoming civic election, Ihave decided the Township has three verybad choices for mayor in this election.Jack Froese tries to sell our parks/green

    spaces to fund other projects, does not lis-ten to community input, and does not fightfor more transit for Langley, even thoughwe pay our share to transit.Rick Green fights with his councillors and

    excludes them but he is at fault for all theabove, as well. Has he learned a lesson?Serena Oh: She cannot understand the

    questions, so she cannot understand herconstituents and her constituents cannotunderstand her replies.Some of the newer councillors I can vote

    for, but not for a mayor. Surely we couldhave done better than this.

    Ras Gosse, Langley

    Signs removal saddeningDear Editor,I am saddened and a bit angry that some

    people have decided that I shouldnt seesome election signs. Someone decided forme that I dont need to know some candi-dates names or faces. They have decidedwho I should vote for by leaving only somesigns in place.

    Lisbeth Staschuk, Langley

    Keep firefighters out of electionDear Editor,I want firefighters, not a political power.Weve seen the Township firefighters

    bright yellow signs telling everyone to votefor their choices for council and mayor,stating that voting for them is a vote for

    public safety. Ignored are the other can-didates who, for the most part, were justas supportive of firefighters questions ofminimum staffing to become WBC compli-ant, capabilities to meet various NFPA stan-dards, etc.I support firefighters. I want them happy

    and reasonably compensated and to havethe means to do their jobs. If I have a fireor an accident, I depend on them coming tohelp. However, in a municipal election, Idont want their help!

    George Otty, Fort Langley

    School trustees power limitedDear Editor,There will be at least two new faces at the

    Langley School Board table this year, andthe array of candidates is bewildering. Howdo you know who will make a good trustee?The power of the board is limited.

    Underfunding for education is a favouriteplank for all trustees. But education is infierce competition with other ministries, andthe provincial government holds the pursestrings. The best a board can do is to havea good working relationship with the partyin power.

    Hattie Hogeterp, Langley

    Voting machines worrisomeDear Editor,Voters in the Township of Langley get to

    cast their ballots on new DS 200 votingmachines. Following the 2008 presidentialelection the Florida Fair Elections Center(www.ffec.org) recommended that the DS200 voting machines not be certified.

    T. Braaten, Aldergrove

    Dismay in negative attitudesDear Editor,There are many aspects of Langley that

    are great, some good and some not so good.I am dismayed by the lack of positive out-looks by a few nominees seeking election.

  • Hundreds came out to seeone of the last Township civicdebates last Friday.by Matthew [email protected]

    Brookswood was one of themain themes of the all-candidatesmeeting hosted Friday night at theGeorge Preston Recreation Centrefor Langley Township council can-didates.The event was standing-room

    only, with approximately 400people packing themselves in tohear from most of the candidates.One of the major questions, and

    one which also came up in ques-tions from the floor, was whetherthere should be a tree protectionbylaw in Langley Township.Several candidates pointed

    out that it would be difficult toenforce on the Agricultural LandReserve, but some were sup-portive of variations for differentneighbourhoods of the Township.[See our 20 Questions question-naire where we asked candidatesabout tree protection bylaws.]One of the early questions came

    from Twitter through moderatorPeter Holt. The candidates wereasked if the Township shouldincrease development cost charges(DCCs) to help fund the construc-tion of new schools.I think we can do a much bet-

    ter job approaching developersfor fees, said council candidateDave Stark. He also mentionedcommunity amenity contributions,another measure used by sometowns and cities.Solon Bucholtz said some neigh-

    bourhoods may need incdentivesto help balance growth.Live Langley candidate Clint Lee

    talked about starting a LangleyLegacy Fund to pay for such com-munity projects as the Aldergrove

    Pool and rec centre project.Other resources are affected as

    well as schools, noted PatriciaLessard.Were talking about schools,

    but also were straining our hospi-tals, she said.Among the incumbents, Steve

    Ferguson noted that of the schoolsbuilt in the last 10 years, mosthave attached parks thanks topartnerships between Townshipand school district.Yes, we can do a better job,

    he said, noting that DCCs arereviewed every year.The school amenity fee was

    increased recently, said CharlieFox.We upped that over 200 per

    cent over two years ago, Foxsaid.Kinder Morgans Trans

    Mountain Pipeline expansion wasalso brought up, and candidates

    were asked what were their con-cerns.This is a very sensitive eco-

    system, said Petrina Arnason,referring to the Salmon River areawhere the pipeline runs throughLangley. Once its destroyed, wecant get it back.My biggest concern with

    Kinder Morgan is that they cantchoose a route, said KevinMitchell. Multiple routes havebeen proposed through differ-ent parts of the Fort Langley andWalnut Grove areas.We dont have a cleanup plan

    in place, said Kerri Ross, whosaid there needs to be planningand preventative maintenance.Before a crowd that was largely

    hostile to the failed BrookswoodOfficial Community Plan, thecandidates were asked what theycould do to regain trust from theneighbourhood.

    Jack Froese, the incumbentmayor, said that everyone runningfor the first time deserved trust.He said that for those already hav-ing served, they had to learn fromthe past, and ask the public howto engage with them better.Jackie Mandzak, a mediator in

    her day job, said trust takes a longtime to regain and that it requirescollaboration.Everyones repeating that

    theyre listening, but theyre nothearing, said Kerri Ross of LiveLangley.When processes fail, we

    change them, said KevinMitchell.Incumbent Kim Richter noted

    that only about 10 per cent ofwhat council does is controversialat all on most issues, no oneshows up to raise any concerns.For that 10 per cent when peopleshow up, its imperative to listen.

  • TWU offers up two eventsthrough its school of arts,media, and culture includinga laugh-out-loud play and arhythmic concert.

    by Ronda [email protected]

    While story ofChristmas mayhave been recitedhundreds oftimes, leave the pre-conceivednotions behind when attendingButterfingers Angel at TrinityWestern University (TWU).This comedic take on nativity

    is on stage from Nov. 18 to 29.William Gibsons creation is

    brought to life by actors at theuniversity with some uniquehelp.Local children have been

    chosen to play the roles of thestorys animals.Langley resident Shelby

    Wyminga plays a spunkier ver-sion of Mary who has a fewmodern ideas of what marriage

    is all about.This show captures the heart

    of the Christmas story, boththe light and the darkness,said Wyminga. Instead of stiffstereotypes, we get a glimpseinto the way ordinary peoplehandle extraordinary circum-stances, from the naive newly-weds to the donkey who hatesher job. Beneath the laughter,this story also explores doubtand danger, hopes and fears its sincere and relatable.There is silly comedy, but

    also real-life struggles in thisstory of an incompetent Angel

    Gabriel caught up in a blender ofChristmas messages.From the challenges inherent

    in Mary and Josephs new mar-riage to the narcissistic pear tree,and the not-so-wise, wise men,its a long way from the trad-itional telling of the story.Audience members will fol-

    low poor Gabriel along as hestumbles from one surprise toanother.Tickets and further information

    about Butterfingers Angel can befound at www.twu.ca/theater orby calling 604-513-2121, exten-sion 3872.
