    A tale of two missing dogs had ahappy ending, as stolen poocheswere reunited with their owner.

    by Matthew [email protected]

    Hans Mulder thought his dogs weregone forever when they vanished fromhis home in Laidlaw, a small village justwest of Hope.The two German shepherd crosses,

    Keira and Sandy, usually didnt stray farfrom his house. But after Sept. 17, whenthey disappeared, Mulder and his wifesearched as much of the 600 acres ofwoods around their home as possible.They also called every animal shelter,

    every municipal hall, and every vet fromChilliwack to Hope, and posted missingdog posters up and down the highway.But after two weeks, there was no sign

    of either animal.Wed almost given up on them, said

    Mulder.Then on Tuesday, Oct. 11, Mulder

    got a call from the Langley AnimalProtection Society.Cheryl Wiens, one of their animal care

    attendants, had been going through thelost pets section of the BC VeterinaryMedical Associations website afterwork.She spotted a post about a pair of

    shepherd crosses that seemed familiar.They looked a lot like the two dogs thathad been found on a South Langleyproperty and brought to the LAPS shel-ter on Oct. 3.Wiens called Mulder and let him know

    his dogs might be in Langley.At first, he was skeptical.Its kind of unlikely that they trotted

    up the highway for 100 kilometres, Muldersaid.But the next day, he was down in Langley

    to check out the slim possibility.

    Keira recognized him right away and start-ed whining, and the dogs were thrilled tosee their owner again after almost a month.Becky Hemphill of LAPS said the dogs werejumping up and down with glee.

    They were ecstatic, it was reallysweet, Hemphill said.It was an emotional reunion for the

    Mulders.I really didnt expect to get them

    back, he said.Both dogs are relatively recent addi-

    tions to his family.We lost two dogs last year, he said.His mothers dog had come to live

    with him after he married. It died whilehe was serving as a cadet instructor inthe Canadian Reserves. Their other dogat the time was a rescue dog from amarijuana grow operation; it died of arespiratory ailment.They got Keira last September as a

    puppy, and Sandy was a stray.She just kind of showed up and

    moved in, Mulder said.Having recovered them, Mulder is cer-

    tain they were stolen.The dogs were in good shape when

    they were found, belying the idea thatthey simply walked to Langley. Moretelling, their original collars had beenremoved and replaced.Mulder speculates that they might

    have been snatched for a puppy milloperation, or to be guard dogs for agrow op.I guess they kind of look impressive,

    he said of the 80 pound dogs. Thoughsizeable, theyre friendly.How the dogs got loose, or were

    set loose, remains a mystery, Mulderwouldnt mind finding the person whostole the dogs and caused him and hiswife so much trouble and stress.I wouldnt mind five minutes alone

    with him, he said.The dogs and their owner were lucky

    that a LAPS staff member connected thedots between a Fraser Canyon missingdog report and the local find.

    One of them, Sandy, had actually beenput up for adoption the day before, saidHemphill. Fortunately, no one adopted thedog before Mulder was called.

    An elderly man is dead afterdriving into an oncomingfreight train.

    by Matthew [email protected]

    A 71-year-old Langley mandied after driving his car head-long into a train in Glen Valleyearly Monday morning.At about 12:45 a.m., the train

    slammed into a Toyota, about

    400 metres from where thetracks cross 264th Street.The driver had apparently

    turned onto the tracks at 264thand driven west along the tracksinto the path of the oncomingfreight train and was hit aroundthe 25900 block, said Cpl. HollyMarks, spokesperson for theLangley RCMP.Local residents called the

    police after hearing the loudcrash.Police found the vehicle

    nearby with a lone occupant.

    The train was not derailed, andapparently managed to stop rela-tively quickly as it was not heav-ily loaded.Alcohol may have been a fac-

    tor, as some was found in thevehicle, Marks said.Police are still trying to deter-

    mine if the driver actually meantto turn onto the train tracks ornot.Police were on the scene

    investigating for almost 10hours, with the help of theIntegrated Collision Analyst

    Reconstruction Team (ICARS).Langleys Client Support and

    Victim Services team has beencalled in to offer support to rela-tives of the victim and othersimpacted by his death.This is the second time a train

    has hit a vehicle on the tracks intwo weeks.On Oct. 12, a stolen pickup

    truck was abandoned on thetracks near 272nd Street and91st Avenue.No one was hurt in that inci-

    dent.

    Taxpayers will be getting hit inthe budget next year thanks to metalthieves.Langley Citys numbers show the

    disturbing trend.We have seen a significant

    increase particularly in wire theft,said Gary Vlieg, the Citys engineer-ing director.Its only October and the City has

    spent much more than budgeted,despite increasing the budget estimateto compensate for additional theftand vandalism.By the time 2011 ends, the City

    expects to spend about $110,000 torepair the wire thefts in the smallcommunity, which will have to becovered by taxpayers.I believe we probably could be as

    high as $150,000, he said. And thatwould have to be reflected in nextyears budget.Municipalities have tried various means to stop wire

    theft and related vandalism but the thieves soon findways around the devices or methods.As wire is stolen from light standards, the cover plates

    are being replaced with locking plates but some thieves-will look at toppling the poles and pulling out the wiresthat run from pole to pole underground.Both Langley Township and City contract with Cobra

    Electric for some of its work which includes repairingthe damage caused by wire thieves.The crews have noticed that the thieves are moving

    east through the Fraser Valley as municipalities to thewest that have already been harder hit take steps toprevent thefts. As well the thieves appear to cause moredamage to the Surrey sites the crews are called to repair,compared to Langley.

    With metal prices forecast to stay high, there will like-ly be no relief from the thefts even though thieves onlyreceive cents on the dollar. The B.C. government is look-ing at provincial legislation to help track goods and pre-vent a thief from cashing in stolen goods in communitieswith less strict buying conditions at metal dealers.City Mayor Peter Fassbender said the public can play a

    key role by contacting the authorities. If people see whatthey think is suspicious activity by a light standard orpower source and a potential theft is in progress, theyshould contact the police. If they see something ques-tionable but not one is around, such as a cover removed,they should contact their local municipal office.Often metal thieves will remove covers then return

    another day and if the cover is still off, they think noone is watching the area.Make the call because without community support,

    the police cant be everywhere all the time, he said.

    Wire theft hits bottom lineElectrician Mike Miske and labourerDoug Grande, of Cobra Electric,spend a great deal of time repairingthe problems caused by wire theft.In addition to using their own staff,the City and Township contract Cobrabecause of the extra workload.

    is voter apathy and tracesit to so many residentsfeeling as though theydont have a say.I dont feel that there is

    reflective representation inthis community, he toldthe Langley Advance.He said there are many

    issues he would want toaddress if elected includ-ing social issues, poverty,harm reduction, andhomelessness.He said as a business

    owner, hes seen howcrime impacts the down-

    actions on behalf of coun-cil to address this mattereven though it is wellknown that many busi-nesses were victims ofrepeated break-ins, hecommented.Caine said hes not a

    children.On Oct. 15, the annual day of

    remembering service, moms wereencouraged to bring something inmemory of their child.

    During the ninth annualceremony, the children whodied were honoured throughsong, prayer, the lightingof candles, and hanging ofcards on the Baby Tree intheir memory.The ceremony ended with

    the symbolic releasing ofdoves into the sky.Mourning Mothers was

    established in 1995 by SusanSimmons, 14 months after the deathof her son Joseph.The group came together because

    Simmons met mothers who sim-ply needed to get together and talkabout the deaths of their children.

    Trials to start in 2012by Matthew [email protected]

    Two people accused in a drug-related murder caseare expected to go on trial in January.Robert David Bradshaw faces two counts of first

    degree murder and a charge of conspiracy linkedto the deaths of Marc Bontkes and Laura LynnLamoureux in 2009.The two were killed just five days apart, on March

    14 and 19 of that year. Lamoureux was involvedin the local drug trade in a low-level capacity, andBontkes was a local builder who had apparently beena drug user.Bradshaws next court appearance will be in B.C.

    Supreme Court in New Westminster on Nov. 24, tofix a trial date. His trial is expected in the new year.He just finished a preliminary hearing in SurreyProvincial Court last week. A young woman, 17 atthe time of Bonktes death, also faces charges in thatcrime, and is scheduled to begin trial on Jan. 9. As ayouth, she cannot be named.

    The trial of Mark Marohn has hitanother snag, and wont conclude until atleast sometime in the new year.Marohn, a former Langley veterinarian,

    was charged with failing to provide thenecessities of life for an animal after aDec. 10, 2008 incident.One of Marohns horses, Buddy, was

    found exhausted in a ditch in SouthLangley. It is alleged he was using Buddyto try and pull a car out of the ditch.Buddy was put down on the spot,

    and five more horses were seized fromMarohns property. One was later putdown, four others recovered.After a very drawn-out pre-trial period

    and a lengthy hearing on the admissibil-ity of various pieces of evidence, the casewas set to conclude last week.

    We had four days set aside to finishthis case, then the accused got sick, saidCrown council Liane OGrady.Marohn went to hospital the weekend

    before the trial was to resume.Another date was tentatively set for

    January, but OGrady said that wontwork either, as a key witness isnt avail-able. A new date will be found soon.Last week, Judge Reg Harris did make

    a major ruling, throwing out much ofthe evidence and ruling that a search ofMarohns property by RCMP and SPCAinvestigators was improper.That search discovered the five other

    horses in an emaciated condition. Nowonly the condition of Buddy will be atissue in the trial.Harris has yet to rule on a motion made

    by Marohn to end the trial due to delays.He claims his right to a speedy trial hasbeen infringed.

    Our View

    Occupyingprotestersneed to focus

    In recent weeks, liberal-minded peoplefrom across the continent have flocked toAmericas and now Canadas financialcapitals to demand well theyre demand-ing something.

    Its not entirely clear what the protest-ers of the Occupy Wall Street and OccupyCanada movements want, only that theyfeel the wealthy and powerful are somehowdoing something bad.

    After the 2008 financial crisis, its hard todisagree with the sentiment, but unless theprotest becomes more focused, its unlikelyto make any difference.

    Political movements succeed when theydemand a specific legislative change.

    The ragtag group in Zuccotti Park andtheir Canadian counterparts are far fromidentifying any kind of specific desire orneed.

    Instead, theyve all been voicing a pleth-ora of conflicting demands that they feel,broadly speaking, should address incomedisparity.

    If the activists want improvement, theyhave to choose a single target.

    The obvious candidate is election finance.In the United States, especially, lawmakersare handicapped by a system that allowsbig companies and even whole industriesto bankroll political campaigns to the tuneof millions of dollars. Beholden to donors,officials habitually gut legislation that wouldbenefit ordinary people in favour of lawsthat help the wealthy few witness theirattempt to reign in reckless investment prac-tices after the 2008 crisis.

    This is less true in Canada, where unionsand corporations cant make donations, butat the provincial level in British Columbia,anyway the system is still a free-for-all.

    If the protesters who will no doubt appearin Vancouver want change, they shouldfocus their ire there.

    LangleyAdvance | Tue sday , O c t obe r 18 , 2011 | A8

    Theyre taking shots all over the province.No, not hunters. Im a gardener a product

    of the birth of civilization. While Ill occa-sionally resort to a bit of gathering (ediblemushrooms, ferns, and berries especiallyblackberries for wine and jam) I try to haveas little truck as possible with the gun-totingNeanderthals who remain among us.And, yes, the politicians are out in droves

    this season but Im not talking about themany potshots theyll be tak-ing at each other, either. Again,the dirt I prefer dealing with isout in the backyard. Carrots andpotatoes like muck but peopleshould try to keep it clean.Nope, Im referring to the shot

    in the arm that thousands uponthousands of intelligent humanbeings will receive in preparation for theannual battle against influenza.The flu season is about to begin, and the

    annual pre-emptive strike mass vaccination is about to get underway, especially for thosewho are most prone to succumb to the ravagesof that ubiquitous disease.Now, I recognize that there are folks out

    there who, like hunters and smokers and otherneer-do-wells who have found it difficult toadjust to modern civilization, havent cometo grips with the full extent of the thoughtprocesses within the ordinary human beingspotential.There are people out there even less sens-

    ible than the hunters and smokers who havedeclared themselves in a battle against thebattle against influenza.These are the anti-vaccine folks, who

    eschew intelligence for clever mismanagementof understanding. They cite studies with nomeaning and expostulate thoughtless thoughtsin a questionable quest to tear down the walls

    that have been built to fend off the flu, andmeasles, and numerous other communicablediseases.They make such simple-minded statements

    as nobody dies from measles [or any otherdisease of choice that has been driven intodecline] anymore, somehow forgetting thatthe anymore is part of that sentence pre-cisely because of the very vaccines whose usethey protest.Last time I went on one of my pro-vac-

    cination rants I got an earful from a womanin Coquitlam (my Odd Thoughts sometimesappears in places less enlightened than myusual haunts immediately north and southof the Golden Ears Bridge) who claimed tobe educated who had chicken pox, mumps,rubella [and] the now fearsome and deadly

    flu a few times but never knewanyone who ever died or endedup in the hospital from them.This educated woman

    admitted, however, that it doeshappen to some children, andits sad. Sad? Tragic, more like.Especially tragic when the griev-ously ill or dying children could

    have missed that one of lifes roadblocks, ifpeople actually paid attention to their educa-tion.The educated correspondent in question is

    no monster. I dont want my children gettingsick. Quite the opposite.No, not a monster.But definitely not properly educated, either.She claims she wants her children to stick

    with the perfect immune systems that theywere born with intact.Heres a bit of education she missed: chil-

    dren arent born with perfect immune sys-tems. They are born with incomplete immunesystems, which their bodies attempt to com-plete with exposure to the nasty bugs and junkthat assault us all, every day of our existence.Vaccinations help in the building process.And right now, the big push is on to build a

    wall to keep out this seasons special varietyof influenza. Join the battle, dont fight it.

    Dear Editor,Returning from vacation,

    it was no big surprise tofind TransLink once againafter more money fromhome and car owners.I support user fees: if

    you use a service, pay forit. But in rural Langley wehave little access to transit.Is anyone at TransLink

    going to subsidize my gas,insurance, or vehicle main-tenance? Of course not.

    So why do they wantthose of us who do nothave access to transit ser-vice pay for it?When you consider the

    cost of parking in cities,it is advantageous to taketransit where possible.But TransLink needs to

    take a good hard look atwhere it raises funds, andstop trying to punish thoseof us with cars who can-not use their service.

    Im happy to pay a tollfor a bridge that will saveme time but stop try-ing to rob me at the gaspumps.

    Pam Erikson, Langley

    Call it TaxLinkDear Editor,We poor taxpayers, get-

    ting poorer by the minute,are to be bled some moreby the dysfunctional behe-moth TransLink.To everyone living

    south of the Fraser River,the name TransLink isa misnomer. The Latin-rooted prefix transmeans across, beyond, orthrough.TransLink gives us in

    Langley and everywhereelse south of the FraserRiver precious little link-age to anywhere. Howabout changing the nameof TransLink to TaxLink?

    T. Braaten, Aldergrove

    Temporary tax?Dear Editor,With all the discussion

    about the gas tax increasethere has been little com-ment on the limited-timeproperty tax increase of$23 per home (average)for 2013-14.The current income tax

    started out as a short termpenny tax, too, to helpus get through the FirstWorld War.Once again, those of us

    who have no alternativesare subsidizing a systemcatering to those who do.And this wont be the

    last time TransLink comeswith its hand out.

    D. Atkinson, Langley

    Unfair toll takenDear Editor,It is unfair to toll only

    two bridges GoldenEars and, eventually, PortMann without tolling allbridges/tunnels/crossingsin the Metro Vancouverarea. Why not put a toll,of say $2, on all bridges,and the roads and bridgeswould be paid for in notime, given that we haveabout 10 bridges and atunnel?The Port Mann Bridge is

    part of the Trans-CanadaHighway, and will bethe only tolled sectionfrom coast to coast acrossCanada, from Vancouverto Sidney, Nova Scotia.

    Abortion

    Women have rights, tooDear Editor,Every woman in Canada has the right, under law, to

    decide whether she is mentally, physically, and finan-cially able to cope with an unplanned pregnancy.Hopefully, it means every child born is a wanted child

    90 per cent of prison inmates were unwanted children.Access to safe termination of unplanned pregnan-

    cies affords women dignity and freedom to pursue theirchosen paths, equally with men, in a civilized manner.Furthermore, it is this same democratic society that

    suffers those unfortunates still living in the dark ages,believing in the supernatural and parading the streetswith their children waving archaic signage seeminglycreated by, sadly, oxygen-deprived grey matter.

    Bridie Clark, Langley

    Planned Parenthood support tragicDear Editor,It is tragic that the federal government has renewed

    millions of dollars in funding to the InternationalPlanned Parenthood Federation. Abortion is controver-sial, so why should Canada be exerting undue inter-national influence on this matter?Let the IPPF dole out death on its own dime.

    Bryan Grim, Langley

    Early fetal development amazingDear Editor,Abortion is a life-altering procedure.Mr. Erbacher [Decision womens, Oct. 4 Letters,

    Langley Advance] needs to take his time and look into theclaims he is making. He will probably be astonished asto the amazing development of a child within the womb:the brain is starting to form by four weeks.

    Audrey Leyenhorst, Langley

    Anti-abortion rhetoric mostly propagandaDear Editor,Jaclyn Penninga [Debate must continue, Oct. 6

    Letters, Langley Advance] says that my letter on the abor-tion issue [Decision womens, Oct. 4 Letters, Advance]was not intellectually honest. I disagree with her objec-tions, but in the interest of intellectual honesty, recentstudies have pushed the consensus date at whichthe fetus likely does experience pain to 26, 28, and29 weeks. I included 28 as my likely number, as thisreflects recent research.Prior to 24 weeks the neural pathways that carry pain

    signals are not fully formed. So possibility begins at 24weeks, and likelihood begins at 26-29 weeks.Nobody suggested that this is an easy ethical or sci-

    entific question. However pro-life propaganda distractsus from serious consideration of the issue, and oftenrepresents and is coupled with wider attacks on humansexuality and womens rights.According to the Guttmacher Institute, only 12 per

    cent of abortions occur after the first trimester, andthis includes all of the abortions performed for medicalnecessity.What Dean Clark [Abortion harms everybody, Sept.

    8 Letters, Advance] and others are offering is propaganda,no doubt about it.

  • Local firefighters areeducating the publicabout being safe fromfire and accident.by Matthew [email protected]

    Langleys firefightersthrew open their halls thisweek to the public, partof the annual drive to getlocals to be fire safe in thecoming year.Fire Prevention Week

    runs from Oct. 9 to 15every year, and every yearits a week of outreach forCity and Township fire-fighters.In the Township, halls

    held open houses duringa week of special pro-gramming. Hundreds ofpeople visited, such asthe 200 who stopped bythe Walnut Grove Hall fortheir Tuesday night event.Fraser Valley Search and

    Rescue, the BC AmbulanceService, and the LangleyRCMP joined in as well.Firefighters have given

    children the opportunityto don a helmet and someturnout gear the heavycoats, pants, and bootsthat firefighters wear andtry aiming firehoses.At Langley Citys fire-

    hall, it wasnt kids whogot to try being firefight-ers, although the localcouncillors didhave childlikesmiles on theirfaces Thursdaynight.The fire crews

    surprised thecouncil by deck-ing them out infull gear, includingbreathing masks, and put-ting them through sometraining. City councillorsJack Arnold, Dave Hall,Rudy Storteboom, GayleMartin and RosemaryWallace got to extinguish acontrolled fire in the train-

    ing ground and go up inthe bucket of the laddertruck.I didnt think we were

    going to be fighting fires,said Martin.It was great, she said

    after working with twoCity firefighters on a burn-

    ing car.Its helped give

    her an appre-ciation for whatcrews go through,Martin said.When I first

    put this uniformon, oh my God itsheavy, and then

    you think about fightingfires in 80 or 90 degreeweather, she said.There was no warning

    about the special event,but were pretty muchgame for anything, saidArnold.

    SportsLangley shooters filled theAlberni Valley Bulldogs netwith seven pucks Saturday.

    by Troy [email protected]

    The Langley Rivermens offen-sive engine took off at full throt-tle Saturday night.Too bad hardly anybody

    showed up to see it run.Just 573 fans watched the

    Rivermen thump the AlberniValley Bulldogs 7-1 at theLangley Events Centre.Langley head coach Steve

    ORourke said local hockey fanswill recognize the Rivermen as ahard working team, and hopeful-ly larger crowds will come fromthat realization.Theres been change [in

    ownership and players], andwhen theres change, there are

    bumps in the road, ORourkesaid. When we get over thosebumps, people will enjoy watch-ing this hockey club.Those who made it to the game

    watched the Rivermen take leadsof 1-0 after the first period and 3-0 after 40 minutes of play.Darnell Dycks second of the

    night put the Rivermen ahead 4-04:42 into the third period.After the Bulldogs ruined

    Langley goaltender MichaelBarrs shutout bid 8:41 into thethird, the Rivermen poured it onwith tallies from Mario Puskarich(who made a slick move onBulldogs goaltender Adam Harrisafter being sent in alone bylinemate Mike Tebbutt), JustinParizek (with his first of the sea-son on a powerplay), and DerekSutliffe with 10 seconds to go inregulation.The Rivermen dominated on

    the scoreboard despite being out-shot 42-24 on the night.

    Also scoring for the Rivermenwere Tyler Hanzlik and defence-man Valik Chichkin, whonotched his first of the campaign.ORourke said pouncing on

    opportunities was the difference.We capitalized on our chances

    and Michael Barr played verywell for us, he said. Weve hadglorious chances to score thatweve missed [in past games],but now the guys are looking upand not panicking. Theyre look-ing at mesh, now, and thats astep in the right direction.Victoria Grizzlies 5, Rivermen 1Friday was a tough night for

    the Rivermen.They lost 5-1 on home ice to a

    Victoria Grizzlies team that cameinto the game with a less-than-stellar 2-5 record.The Grizzlies scored the lone

    goal of the first period on apowerplay and added to theirlead with a man advantage mark-er 3:38 into the middle frame.

    Dyck brought the home team towithin a goal when he scored ona Langley powerplay at the 8:15mark of the second period.The Grizzlies gave themselves

    some breathing room by tally-ing two more goals, includinganother powerplay marker with19 seconds remaining in the mid-dle stanza, to take a 4-1 lead intothe third period.

    Victorias Jarryd TenVaanholts second of the night,scored with 5:07 remaining inregulation time, made it 5-1Grizzlies and rounded out thegames scoring.ORourke said the Rivermen

    played well enough to winFridays game.A turnover in the second per-

    iod changed the tide of the game,and we took too many penalties

    and they scored on their power-play, ORourke said.Discipline stung the Rivermen.

    Three of the Grizzlies goals camewith the man advantage and thevisitors benefited from 11 power-plays in total.

    Another hectic and challen-

    ging weekend lies ahead for theRivermen, whose 3-6 record putsthem in the Coastal Conferencecellar, one point back of seventh-place Alberni Valley.They travel to Victoria

    Thursday to play the Grizzliesand Nanaimo Friday to take onthe Clippers.Then, on Saturday, they are

    back at the LEC to host theCoastal Conference-leadingPowell River Kings. Openingfaceoff is 7:30 p.m.
