End "Blame and Shame Politics" Says Township Mayor Candidate Jack Froese

Last Saturday September 17/11, Debbie & Jack Froese hosted their 4th Annual Fall Festival at their JD Farms location on the corner of 248th St & 52nd Ave in Langley Township. The event MC was Gary Johnson best known for championing the Salvation Army campaign to fund & build the Gateway of Hope homeless shelter in Langley. All of Township Council attended Jack's event except for Mel Kositsky & Mayor Rick Green (no surprise there!). Also attending were MP Mark Warawa, MLA Mary Polak and at least 200+ other people (with many more coming later in the afternoon after the speeches). Polak formally congratulated the Froeses for their contributions to Langley Agriculture as did Deputy Mayor Kim Richter on behalf of Council.

Round one goes to Jack who got all the dignitaries out to his event including 2 local editors. The only dignitary at Green's event was Green (and many would even question that!)

LFP is Back !

Langley Free Press is back and open again for news, editorials, and debate with a new look, a new Editor and the same irreverant local insight to Langley Politics, News, Gossip & Rumours. Bear with us as the LFP Editor will  be constantly updating/bettering LFP's links & sidebar features, etc. But in any event the LFP postings will be starting this weekend.

During this election our LFP Editor will be posting candidate You Tube videos and pictures as we did before with the help of Bob the LFP photographer. We will entertain videos & pictures from others. We even could help you create your own videos. LFP started in 2005 and was on hiatus for the last year but is now back.

LFP as before is seeking more contributing columnists for areas such as school board, environmental etc. I remain the LFP publisher and if you want to join us, do message me in private & in confidence. In the meantime do browse through our past 5 years of LFP postings.
