A military memento is back in a Langley family’s home. MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The loss of a medal stung because of its deep meaning to a Langley man’s family history. Fortunately, the story of René Doyharçabal’s missing medal had a happy ending, thanks to a Langley RCMP officer and an alert member of the public. Doyharçabal briefly served in the Royal Canadian Air Force in the early 1950s, but he dismisses that work. “My personal military service was virtually nothing,” he said. Though he trained on Harvards, a medical condition meant he couldn’t continue flying in the military. But Doyharçabal has always taken Remembrance Day seriously, due not just to his own service but to that of his father and grandfather, and his wife Judy’s relatives. Both his father and his grandfather were in the French Army during the First World War. His grandfather, Joseph Cayla, spent 18 months in the trenches at Verdun, while his father

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

René Doyharçabal thought a medal that honoured his family’s military service was gone for good after he lost it at a recent Remembrance Day ceremony. St. Martin Doyharçabal was an army cook. After the war the family moved to Canada, where Doyharçabal was born. Other relatives stayed behind, including one woman who helped smuggle downed Allied troops out of Nazi-occupied France and into Spain. Back in Vancouver, Doyharçabal’s parents were local supporters of the Free French forces during the Second World War. In their honour, when he attends Remembrance Day

ceremonies, Doyharçabal wears a commemorative Free French medal. “It’s a commemoration to their military action, you might say,” he said. It reads France Libre – 18 Juin 1940 – 8 Mai 1945, covering the time between the fall of France and the end of the war in Europe. Doyharçabal and his wife were near the back of the crowd when they attended the Fort Langley Remembrance Day ceremonies, and it wasn’t until they were leaving that he

noticed the medal was missing. “I felt absolutely crestfallen,” Doyharçabal said. “It was a real blow.” The couple searched for it between their spot at the ceremony and back to their car without successfully finding it. On their way out, they told an RCMP officer about the loss. “She was obviously very concerned,” said Doyharçabal. “I guess she realized that this thing was such an important link to the family.” Although he never expected to see it again, it was just a week before the call came from the Langley RCMP. Someone had found the medal. The same RCMP officer who had taken its description dropped it off at Doyharçabal’s home. “Which I thought was another exceptional thing,” he said. The medal has rejoined his grandfather’s Croix de Guerre and other family artifacts back at the Doyharçabal home. “We are so fortunate to be living in this wonderful place called Langley where such considerate people live,” Doyharçabal wrote in a letter to the Langley Advance. “Both the person who found the medal and the RCMP member showed that thoughtfulness, kindness, and love of fellow humans is very prominent here.”

A series of passionate speeches – and a packed Langley City council chamber – swiftly derailed a proposed property tax hike on non-profits Monday night. Langley City council was set to consider

a motion on a Permissive Property Tax Exemption Strategy. The motion would have gradually increased taxes on 20 local religious groups and non-profit service organizations. No councillor seconded the motion, thus killing the idea and leaving the tax exemptions in place. Prominent local religious and charity leaders and local volunteers marshaled arguments for more than an hour. They discussed how the change could lead them to cut programs that serve the less fortunate. Here are some of their quotes: • “The added tax burden could force us

to close our doors and cease operations.” Rev. Paula Porter Leggett, St. Andrew’s Church. • “At the churches in Langley, you can get a knock on the door at any time, and the door is opened.” Father Lawrence Donnelly, St. Joseph’s Church. • “Donors will not donate if the funds raised are for property taxes.” Deborah Hauptman, CEO of Langley Lodge. • “I’d like to think that in the long run, Langley was more than just a place to be, it was a place to belong.” Dan Collins, executive director of the Langley Association for Community Living.

Councillor resigns A by-election will be held in February. Langley City Councillor Dave Hall stepped down Monday night due to an ongoing battle with cancer. Hall, who has served seven years at the City and nine years on the Langley School Board, said in a press release that he found it increasingly difficult to devote time to both council duties and family. “He did give to this community, he was passionate about this community, and he absolutely loved this community,” said City Mayor Ted Schaffer.

A highlight of a Sunday afternoon tea party benefiting the Langley Christmas Bureau was an appearance by Elvis. In the case of the Mayors’ Wives afternoon get-together at the Coast Hotel ballroom, Elvis was Steve Elliott, who thrilled the crowd of mostly women with his swaggering hips, stuttering shoulders, and silky tone. And while Elvis Elite had many moving their hips inside the ballroom (he also serenaded 102-yearold Dorscie Paterson with a touching rendition of Can’t Help Falling in Love), the afternoon was all about helping the less fortunate this Christmas. Last year the bureau helped 803 families and 1,750 local children during the holiday season.

Every seat was filled inside the Coast Hotel ballroom Sunday afternoon for the sold-out Mayors’ Wives Tea benefiting the Langley Christmas Bureau. Among those in attendance was Langley City Councillor Rudy Storteboom and his mom Grace (left). The annual event, hosted by Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese’s wife Debbie, and Langley City Mayor Ted Schaffer’s wife Jean is dubbed More online Thanks for Caring – a search Christmas Tea (a.k.a. ‘bureau’ the Mayors’ Wives Tea) and is expected to match or exceed last year’s fundraising total of $30,000 – all of which goes directly to the bureau. Leigh Castron, who co-chairs the bureau along with Jim McGregor

said the tea sells out every year, with 500 guests filling the tables set up inside the ballroom. “It sells out early,” Castron said, adding that the event is “very important” for the bureau. “It is the fundraiser that collects the most money for the Langley Christmas Bureau this year,” Castron said. So why is the fundraiser to popular? “I think ladies like a little after-

noon tea,” Castron answered. “I think it’s different than the other fundraisers. It’s not an evening event… so, yeah, a lot of ladies enjoy this.” Along with Elvis Elite, past bureau recipient Benjamin Sibanda spoke about his experience last year, a children’s choir from the Langley Community Music School performed, and the Debbie Froese and Jean Schaffer addressed the crowd.

At Gateway, they will find help and hope. “It may take the person a few tries on the journey to get well,” says Coggles, “and some disappointments along the way. But it’s always possible.

“Even though we are proud of those amazing success stories, we know that homelessness is a complex, organic, and often cyclical social issue. While some are being helped today, sadly others are sliding into homelessness for a variety of reasons such as struggles with addiction, mental health issues and social breakdowns. Some are young people, while a growing number are coming into homelessness mid-life.”

Some were with us a few months; others for up to two years. But with our help and the involvement of a number of important community partners, these people were able to move from homelessness to home.

Agnes Brown has a second custom, handmade quilt since winning one during the visit of the Langley Quilters Guild to her home, the Langley Lodge on Tuesday Nov. 17. “I wondered where it came from,” she said of her first quilt. “Now I found out today.” The local guild makes it a practice to have a quilt ready at the lodge for every new resident. Brown got her quilt when she moved in – she thinks it was summertime. Patrick Matiowski, the lodge’s director of fundraising estimates the guild has donated about 20 quilts to new residents. The group drops the quilts off year-round to ensure availability. “It puts a real human element to things,” Matiowski said. “This is home.” When visiting the lodge, the quilters spoke about quilting, showcased some of their work, donated a special quilt to the lodge, and offered three quilts

“Lots of people’s families are ‘quilted out’ and don’t want anymore,” joked Kettley of why there are so many quilts being donated. The truth is that members of the group enjoy quilting and enjoy doing something for others in the community. In addition to gifting quilts, the group also gave 100 quilted place mats to Meals on Wheels. The guild also brought their slice quilt for display at the

Brave RCMP saved lives Langley Mounties who saved local residents were honoured. Several Langley RCMP officers were among the 66 officers from around B.C. singled out at Police Honours Night. One Langley officer, who asked for his or her name to be withheld, was among the 22 who received the Award of Valour, the highest award for an officer in B.C. The officer was placed at personal risk while preventing an aggressive woman, armed with a knife, from jumping out a third floor window. Three more officers, Const. Warren Long, Const. Audrey Parent, and Const. Inderjeet Sandhu were given the Meritorious Service Honours. On Oct. 6, 2014, a suicidal woman texted a friend saying goodbye. The friend called the police, and officers found the woman who had overdosed, and had stopped breathing. The officers found a faint pulse and performed CPR until ambulance paramedics arrived. The paramedics said the officers had saved the woman’s life. The woman was taken to a hospital and later regained consciousness with her family present. Long is currently with the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team.

Critter Care

Chevy is one of the 22 bear cubs being rehabilitated by the Critter Care Wildlife Society.

“Moxie” came down from Grouse Mountain, “Molly” is from Merritt, and the one they call “Chevy” was named for the Chevron refinery in Burnaby, near where he was rescued. They’re just three of the record number of orphaned bear cubs taken in this

year by a Metro Vancouver animal rescue centre now pleading for donations to feed the animals. Critter Care Wildlife Society in Langley has already received 26 cubs this season, many of them on the brink of starvation. Four bears died within 24 hours of rescue, and staff and volunteers are working hard to nurture the remaining 22 back to health. Gail Martin, Critter Care’s founder and executive director, has worked in animal rehab for 30 years and has never seen an influx of orphaned bears like this.

“They’re coming out of the woodwork,” she said. In an average year Critter Care might take in between 10 and 15 orphaned bears among the 1,200 and 1,300 mammals from around B.C. it rehabilitates and releases into the wild. Critter Care is appealing for donations of fruit and vegetables to feed the bears. The four bears who died this year shortly after arriving at Critter Care were severely underweight, Martin said. - Dan Fumano is a reporter with the Vancouver Province.

Later that night, Fader was allegedly the last of a group of diners to leave the Earl’s on 200th Street, and was left to settle the bill. Instead of paying, police allege that Fader pulled a gun and demanded cash. When the employees did not hand over money, Fader allegedly took several bank deposit bags containing more than $1,000. Fader was arrested late that evening when officers spotted him and recognized his description given by robbery victims. Fader remains behind bars charged with one count of robbery and use of an imitation firearm.

Opposition a necessity in politics

What exactly is fascist, anyway?

ecause I am a tremendous nerd, I sometimes argue with people who claim that Donald Trump or [literally any other politician] is a fascist. “Well, actually,” I say, pushing my glasses up my nose and adopting a nasal whine, “fascism was a real, horrible political philosophy. Just being an authoritarian jackass does not automatically make you a fascist.” And then people get bored and pretend they got a really important text and spend the next 20 minutes checking their phones so they don’t have to talk to me. I still think it’s an important distinction to make. Fascism was very real, and ruled and murdered millions in the service of the some of the most incoherent ideology ever cobbled together. Fascism bubbled up just after the First World War from earlier traditions of violent, armed protest movements, and from the associations of former soldiers left at loose ends in the wake of the war. It absorbed ideas from across the political spectrum, especially if they were ugly and extreme. This new ideology claimed to chart a “third way” between capitalism and socialism, and to avoid the pitfalls of “weak” democratically elected politicians. What fascists actually believed – or

said they believed – varied quite a bit, but between Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy and their allies, puppet states, and idiotic fan clubs abroad, you can see a few similarities. • Totalitarianism. They thought that the state could meddle in any human affairs, from the serious to the trivial. This included economics, which was genMATTHEW erally capitalist, unless the state had an interest. • Rabid nationalism. Patriotism pushed to its xenophobic extreme, fascists always think their country/ethnic group is the greatest! And therefore deserves a slice of land of that country next door… • Contempt for politics. Fascists think democratic governance is worthless, that elected officials are scum, and that people who have violently forced their way into the job are clearly much better suited for the task. Sure, that sounds like it will always end well. • Rebirth. Combining the contempt for politics and the nationalism, fascists usually think their country needs a thorough cleaning out. The nation is weak, and it must be strengthened! • Manliness. Fascism is not just about action, it’s about virility and toughness. Everything is big and mighty and cov-

Painful Truth

ave Hall has departed the Langley City political scene to take care of his battle with cancer. We wish him well and hope for a full recovery, and perhaps an eventual return to public life. Hall spent nine years on the Langley School District Board of Education, and was in his third term on the City council. In party politics, it’s usually clear which side is the loyal opposition. In civic politics, there aren’t handy party labels, but it usually becomes clear soon enough. Hall was one of Langley City’s opposition politicians, debating the rest of the council on issues from the budget to local development projects to parking. It should be noted that he did not simply oppose things for the sake of opposing them. Go through the votes of City council or school board during Hall’s tenure and you will find many times when he voted with the majority. When he was school board chair, he was sometimes the voice of moderation, guiding an often-divided board to the discovery of a consensus. When there is a consensus – as there often is in local politics – anyone who goes against that consensus can be seen as an annoyance at best, an enemy at worst. But it’s obvious that principled opposition is necessary in any system. We have a long and proud history of opposition in Langley civic politics. Sometimes an entire council would find itself in opposition to a mayor. Sometimes actual party politics have been involved – in the 1990s, the Langley Leadership Team scrapped with three feisty independents on Township council. That opposition was in some ways so successful that it killed party politics for years. We value opposition because without it there is no one to raise questions, to suggest alternative courses of action, to act as a brake. So we hope that Dave Hall recovers and can return to the public square. If he stays on the sidelines, the upcoming byelection will give a chance for voters to find another principled opponent. – M.C.

ered with lightning bolts and skulls and the kind of stuff 13-year-old boys doodle in the margins of their textbooks. There’s not a lot of room for women in fascism except as wombs on legs. (Yes, there were women who supported fascism. There are also women who write fan letters to jailed serial killers.) • An army of their own. Fascists didn’t wait to seize CLAXTON power to get an army, they started their own militias. Then they brawled and/or beat up Communists, labour organizers, ethnic minorities, or anyone else they didn’t like. The scary thing about fascism is that it builds on common beliefs. Everyone gets irked at elected governments, and lots of people harbour resentment of other countries or ethnicities. That’s why some of the current Republican presidential candidates are alarming. They aren’t fascist, not yet. But several of them seem determined to see how many boxes they can check off on the list. By my count, several of them are up to four on my list of six. When they start organizing party militias, that’s time to break out the F-word. Read Bob Groeneveld’s Odd Thoughts online this week at LangleyAdvance.com

Letters to the editor

No need for bank to move out of Langley City core Dear Editor, Great news everybody! The TD Bank does not actually have to relocate anymore, not far anyway. [Bank relocation compounds misery, Nov. 19, Langley Advance Letters.] Just last week, before the wind blew it down, a new sign went up in the Langley Mall parking lot announcing a brand new building suitable for restaurant and business. Now the only excuse/reason for leaving that they tried to blow up our skirts becomes moot. If the current location can’t be renovated up to their high quality standards of dis-serve-us, then I am sure this new one can. Since they haven’t actually broken ground yet, all they have to do is wait for a brand shiny new one to be built, to their exacting specifications. I think this is great for the City. More commercial development, no need to inconvenience so many of their customers or degrade the public’s

perception of our chosen bank brand, and they won’t even have to change the addresses on their business cards. Plus all the disabled people they forgot about will be happy, we won’t have to risk our lives so far to visit a branch to see a real person, or close all our accounts and deal with all the new direct deposit and on-line bill paying hassles. Plus the Township will not be able to claim some ignominious political victory over the City. Otherwise this sends yet another embarrassing message out there that my chosen hometown may not be such a great place to do business, or live. And I really don’t want to move away like they do. But a city core without a bank? Surely somebody out there can talk some cents into them. We know it ain’t about our dollars. Maybe Scotiabank will appreciate them. Danny A. “Hurricane” Halmo Langley City and proud of it

ISIS not ‘junior varsity’ evil Dear Editor, Matthew Claxton’s observation of ISIS is correct as far as their vicious acts are concerned, but they are certainly not as President Obama asserts just “a JV team.” [“Terrorism’s cruel worthlessness,” Nov. 19 Langley Advance Painful Truth.] Nor are they a “bunch of angry schmucks with AK-47s, pickup trucks and a major grudge against anyone having fun.” ISIS now controls the northern half of Syria and the northern half of Iraq. Brussels, a large European city, the head of the EU and NATO, is shut down and other nations have shut their borders. Matthew writes on a “historic scale [the attack] is pathetic” and so it is

as yet. He mentions the different scale of numbers in WWII. Hitler began as a low level German soldier. His rise to power originated speaking in beer halls. My point is he was given lots of time to eventually perpetrate the largest genocide in history from humble beginnings. Hitler’s ambitions failed due to a coalition of countries that militarily destroyed them. The world should not dither until ISIS attacks compare to a “historic scale.” I do enjoy Matthew’s columns, they are an antidote to apathy. Cherryl Katnich, Maple Ridge

Thanks to poppy bearers Dear Editor; As one of the organizers of Fort Langley’s Remembrance Day service, I continue to be gratified by the number of residents who take the time to honour the tens of thousands of men and women in uniform who have given their lives for Canada. Last year’s record-high attendance at services across the nation was no doubt influenced by the horrific attacks on the military in Ottawa and Saint Jean sur Richelieu. By all accounts, the number who attended services this year was undiminished. The response was nothing if not heartfelt. Those who gather around the cenotaph are increasingly a cross-section of the nation, and it is pleasing to see a growing participation on the part of our youth. I would like to extend our gratitude to all those who attended and helped to make our service successful once again. Warren Sommer Fort Langley

PERFORMANCE

Ghost story delivers a happy ending Longtime Dickens lovers will read A Christmas Carol in period costume to benefit a local charity. RONDA PAYNE AND MATTHEW CLAXTON news@langleyadvance.com

Music, mulled cider, and a passion for the work of Charles Dickens. What more could a Christmas-loving audience ask for? A charity component? Well, that’s included too. It seems that organizer Eric Hominick has all the bases covered as he and his wife Rose get set to stage the “dramatic reading in costume” of A Christmas Carol at the United Churches of Langley on Saturday Nov. 28. The Hominicks have been putting on events like this for years, for a wide range of reasons. Rose explained, “Performing A

Christmas Carol is our labour of love and the response we get is very gratifying, both from the audience and from the charities the proceeds support.” This year’s charity is the Langley Pos-Abilities Society which works with disabled individuals. The reading of the story is done with vocal flair and in costumes indicative of 1843 (the year Dickens published the tale) which the performers make themselves. Local musicians will accompany the spoken words with their short, seasonal interludes, including performances by special musical guests, the Langley Children’s Choir. “The inclusion of children makes the evening particularly magical,” Rose said. While it is a dramatic reading and not a staged production, it will still capture the audience’s senses, according to Eric. “It is a splendid multi-sensory experience; a wondrous, family-friendly entertainment; a sermon-in-a-ghost-story; an exposing

t’s a busy time for 20 local tap dancers. With practices and performances at every turn, one might think the upcoming trip to Germany was just another event. Not so, said Judy Goldsmith, one of the dancer’s moms and media representative for Team Canada’s local girls. “I can’t wait to see them in Germany,” Goldsmith said. The Langley-area group of tap dancers were selected in May to represent Canada as part of Team Canada Tap at the International Dance Organization’s World Tap Dance Championships in Riesa Germany from Dec. 1 to 5. “We leave Sunday,” Goldsmith noted. “It’s very, very exciting... they’re pretty much off their rockers now.” There are a variety of competitions at the championships, but local girls are part of the junior (age 12 to 15) and senior (age 16 and up) categories and will be competing in large dance

Chief Sepass Theatre will host the second annual LOL For Life Night of Comedy to benefit youth through Suicide Prevention, Education and Counselling (SPEAC) on Saturday Nov. 28. Lower Mainland comedians Ivan Decker, Jamie Hutchinson, Patrick Maliha, Larke Miller, and Erica Sigurdson will perform at the event which was created by the theatre’s manager, Kevin Statham, in response to the passing of Robin Williams in 2014. “Last year’s event was quite successful and raised some much needed funds for SPEAC,” Statham said. “Even though it is a relatively small event, LOL For Life does what it can to support the youth of Langley, Surrey, and White Rock.” SPEAC provides suicide risk assessment, urgent-response and short-term counselling for children and youth. Tickets for the show at 8 p.m. on Saturday at the Chief Sepass Theatre (9096 Trattle St. in Fort Langley) are $20 in advance through www.lolforlife2.brownpapertickets.com, or in person at Wendel’s Books and Cafe and Langley Fine Arts School. Tickets at the door will be $25.

t was a happy coincidence that Benjamin Sibanda happened upon the Langley Christmas Bureau last year. He was glad he did. The married father of three teenagers didn’t initially intend to go to the Christmas Bureau for help but when he did, it was a rewarding experience, he said. “We happened to be driving past and we noticed that there were vehicles going in and out of the facility where they were operating from,” Sibanda said. He enquired, and was told he was at the Langley Christmas Bureau and that help was there for him and his family if they needed it.

Sibanda’s wife, despite having a masters of arts degree, hasn’t been able to find a job for the past three years. “So when it becomes difficult for one person, it means the whole family actually gets to feel it,” Sibanda said. His children didn’t even want to mention what they wanted for Christmas because they knew about their financial situation. Thanks to the bureau, they were able to enjoy their Christmas. “We were able to get some gift cards which the children used to buy whatever they needed, basically,” Sibanda said. Sibanda said it would have been a different kind of Christmas if not for the bureau but added that the “reality is, we were not expecting anything which was the beauty of it.” He encourages anyone who is able, to volunteer for the bureau. “Other than just giving back, I think there is the satisfaction that you are doing something that is meaningful, that benefits the community,” Sibanda said.

Envision fills cupboards, collects gifts The deadline to contribute to the Full Cupboard Holiday Program is Dec. 12. TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Envision Financial has helped fill the cupboards of food banks throughout the year. Now, Envision is doing what it can to fill space under the Christmas trees of those who would otherwise go without this holiday season. The Full Cupboard is a community program designed to raise food, funds and awareness for food banks in communities where Envision Financial operates. The need is there. Last year, more than 95,000 B.C.ers used their local food bank, 30 per cent of whom were children. Envision members and non members can contribute by dropping off nonperishable food items, or by making a cash donation at any Envision Financial branch,

including the one in Langley at 20193 64th Ave. All food and funds remain in the community where they were collected – which, locally, directly benefits the Langley Food Bank. “The money we raise here in Willoughby goes to Langley Sources Food Bank,” explained Jan McIlvaney, investment services assistant with Willoughby’s Envision. “The money that’s raised in Hope goes to the Hope Food Bank. That’s what is unique about it.” McIlvaney noted the Willoughby branch has collected an estimated 750 pounds of food this year. As well, a recently held Pub Night at the Dublin Crossing Irish Pub raised nearly $2,000 for the cause. As an extension of the program, Envision branches have put up Christmas “gift trees” where members, non members, and staff can take a tag off a tree, buy an unwrapped gift for a child,

ANNUAL SERVICE

Operation Red Nose elves keep roads safe

Volunteers including Barbra Spaans will offer safe ride homes for party-goers this holiday season. TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

n her 13 years volunteering with Operation Red Nose, in all sorts of stormy weather, Barbra Spaans has only been witness to one minor accident. One night, when the late fall chill transformed asphalt into ice, a reveler’s car driven by an ORN volunteer skidded one way, then the other, before settling into the ditch. No one was injured, and the car was pulled out of the ditch by a tow truck. The ORN client, whose car only suffered minor scratches, was driven home – in his vehicle that was involved in the minor mishap. “I called 911,” related Spaans, who will lend a hand with ORN Langley-Surrey again this year. “I recalled that I couldn’t see anyone in the car at first, so I thought we might need an ambulance.” The ORN navigator opened the door and answered “yes” to Spaans’ question of, “is everybody okay?”

ther than that night, it’s been a smooth ride for Spaans and other ORN volunteers, many of whom return time and again to make the roads safer during the holiday season. The designated driver program kicks off another year this weekend (Friday, Nov. 27 and Saturday, Nov. 28) and runs Fridays and Saturdays in December leading up to Christmas (Dec. 4, 5, 11, 12, and 18, 19) as well as on New Year’s Eve, Thursday, Dec. 31. Hours of operation those days are 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. Last year, ORN Langley-Surrey provided 825 rides. People needing a ride home in Langley, Surrey, or White Rock, can call 604-532-0888. The goal, as always, is to keep roads safe for both drivers and pedestrians. People who had one too many, who are tired, or who are simply not able to drive their vehicles are encouraged to call ORN . A team of three volunteers will be dispatched and the motorist will be driven home in his or her own vehicle. One hundred per cent of the funds raised are turned over to local youth and amateur sports organizations. And while donations are gratefully accepted, even if a person’s pockets are empty, ORN elves will provide a ride home.

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

Barbra Spaans is a longtime volunteer with Operation Red Nose LangleySurrey, a designated driver service that provides safe rides home for weekend party-goers during the festive season.

ne of those elves is Spaans, a mom to two grown daughters. She said she “totally believes” in the program. “I grew up with a good family, I live in a good country, so think I have to pay back, and I do that through volunteering,” she said. “I do all kinds of volunteering but this [with ORN] is one I do year after year. I’ve had a lot of good experiences doing volunteer stuff.” The long hours with ORN (Spaans said she has volunteered until seven in the morning on New Year’s Day) is worth it,

Breakfast with Santa

mainly for the appreciation heaped upon volunteers during the season. “One time we stopped in McDonald’s for coffee and a young guy came up to us and said, ‘You guys saved my life last year,’” Spaans said. “That’s everything.” As for the winter conditions, Spaans is fully prepared to get behind the wheel. “Oh yeah,” she replied when asked if she was prepared to drive on icy, snowy roads. “I learned to drive in Lillooet and Vernon so I’m okay with that.”

ach December, Spaans sees the same familiar faces at the Langley Gymnastics Foundation, which for the 17th year serves as the LangleySurrey ORN headquarters. “I met one young fellow and he’s still my friend,” Spaans said “He started volunteering when he was 22 and at the time I was so impressed that a young person would volunteer during party season. He’s now 28.” Volunteers are needed, urged Spaans, who was happy to see so many younger helpers take part in ORN, recently. “Even if you can do one night it helps,” Spaans said. “We are treated so well and the Langley Gymnastics Foundation makes it more than worthwhile.”

Volunteers needed The following volunteer positions are available with ORN: • Escort drivers who will escort the navigator and driver in his or her own vehicle; • Drivers who will drive the client’s vehicle; and • Navigators who ride with the driver in the client’s vehicle. Help is also needed at the ORN headquarters in the following positions: call takers, dispatch, transfers, hospitality, and meetand-greet. Anyone interested in volunteer can sign up online at langleygymnastics.ca, or by emailing meaganc@langleygymnastics.ca.

Christmas past comes to life Museum’s Pioneer Christmas returns this year. Families can enjoy some old fashioned Christmas fun when the Langley Centennial Museum hosts its annual Pioneer Christmas next month. Two sessions will be held at the museum, located at 9135 King St. in Fort Langley, on Saturday, Dec. 5. A morning session will run from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. and an afternoon session will go from 1:30 to

3:30 p.m. The cost is $10 for a family of four with a $2 fee for each additional child or adult. “There are so many fun and festive activities for the whole family to enjoy,” said Township of Langley arts and culture programmer Maggie Lukban. “Kids will go on an exciting journey, moving from station to station, visiting the museum’s general store, writing a letter to Santa, and mailing it at the post office.” Stations include a Christmas crafts cor-

ner, cookie decorating, grandma’s kitchen, and a sing along in the gallery. Children will be given a passport and will get their tickets punched at each of the stations. There will also be a visit from Old Saint Nick, who will be giving out a special elf-made gift and taking a photo with the whole family. To register for Pioneer Christmas, visit RecExpress.ca, drop in to any Township community recreation facility, or call the museum at 604-5323536.

Christmas trees vary in shape, size, and scent Watering is key for every tree, no matter what kind. MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

ust because they’re all green and come to a point at the top, that doesn’t mean all Christmas trees are the same. Leanna Anderson of Aldor Acres said that each

tree has its own characteristics, but they all have a few things in common that they need to stay green through the holiday season. Common to all trees is a need to keep them watered. Anderson recommends using a large water reservoir and keeping it topped up constantly. Some trees are thirstier than others, and a dry tree will start shedding needles. Another tip is to always cut off a half-inch at the base of the tree just before

putting it in its stand. “Even if you cut your own tree, you need to make a fresh cut on the bottom,” Anderson said. Otherwise it can seal over and won’t get enough water. As far as types of trees go, the Fraser fir is the “Cadillac” of Christmas trees, Anderson jokes. The Noble fir is also popular, and is more fragrant than the Fraser, and popular for its needle retention. The most fragrant is the Grand fir, but they also

need the most water of any popular variety. Spruce don’t necessarily do well around B.C., but Anderson pointed out that some spikier types of spruce can be useful – they can deter pets from climbing or jostling the trees. However, you may need gardening gloves for hanging the ornaments. Once a tree is un-decorated after the holidays, have it chipped at a charity event, so it can become mulch and nuture future growth, Anderson said.

Andy Bhatti has had his struggles, but the advocate for sexual abuse victims is in a happy place, now. And for the past few years, he’s been giving back to others on a daily basis. This Saturday from 1:30 to 4 p.m., Bhatti is organizing a Celebrity Christmas Food and Toy Drive at the Willoughby Save-On-Foods (20255 64th Ave.). All food, toys, and proceeds will go to Sophie’s Place and The Centre for Child Development. Bhatti is getting a lot of help from his friends, with an autograph session featuring actor Graham Wardle (Heartland), actor Aleks Paunovic, UFC fighter and actor Jason Day, and NHL alumni members Dave Babych, Mark Lofthouse, and John Craighead, who also coaches the junior B Langley Knights. Autographs will be offered in exchange for nonperishable food items, unwrapped toys, or cash. All those who donate will be eligible to win an NHL alumni jersey adorned with the signatures of Hockey Hall of Fame member Darryl Sittler, as well as notables such as Guy Carbonneau, Kirk

has devoted his life to helping victims of sexual abuse, and largely because of that, was the 2015 Courage To Come Back Award recipient in the addiction category. Bhatti is now a certified substance abuse support worker and recovery coach, and a big part of Survivors Support Survivors, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness and resources for survivors, both men and women, of childhood victimization.

Giving back While Saturday’s event will help raise awareness for victims of sexual abuse, it is also about generating food, toys, and cash for the less fortunate. This is something Bhatti, who grew up in a one-parent household, knows all too well. “My mom was a single parent of three so we relied on Christmas hampers,” he explained. “As a kid I was so grateful to get Christmas hampers because we didn’t have much money.” Christmas can be a difficult time for people who are struggling, and especially for victims of sexual abuse, Bhatti said: “If I can help other families who were in similar situations [to what I was], it makes me feel good at the end of the day.”

Band and orchestra tunes are as much dance music as anything on the radio today because they are lively and inspire movement. TWU capitalizes on that musical excitement in the upcoming concerts called Celebrating Dance, featuring band and orchestra favourites. The TWU band will perform under Allan Thorpe as conductor while the School of the Arts Media + Culture (SAMC) orchestra will be led by conductor Jon Thompson. Local fourth-year TWU music student Dan White will take up the baton as a guest conductor at the Langley concert on Friday, Nov. 27. Together the band and orchestra will get toes tapping with an assortment of dance-themed pieces. Khachaturian’s Sabre Dance, Armenian Dances by Alfred Reed, and Edvard Grieg’s Symphonic Dances make up part of the program. “So you think you’ve heard dance?” jokingly asked Thorpe. “Our fall program brings together an impressive array of classic pieces for band and orchestra – favourites, really – and the theme

RBC SPORTS DAY IN CANADA

LEC visitors give variety of sports a try A handful of sports organizations helped host a ‘try it day’ Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. Saturday offered an opportunity for Langley Events Centre patrons to try out new things. For some, those new things may have included figure skating, martial arts, basketball, and fencing. It was all part of RBC Sports Day in Canada, which offered “try-it” events to visitors from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. inside the LEC gymnasium and on the arena bowl’s ice surface. Organizer Stephanie Eby, senior recreation programmer with the Township of Langley, said the focus was for everyone taking part to try out at least one sport that was new to them. “The goal is to promote grassroots level of sports, so everybody knows how to get started,” Eby said. All those who attended received a free ticket to a Langley Rivermen home game. Skate and helmet rentals were free for those who wanted to go out on the ice. Organizers included Langley Township, Langley City, Ten Feet Sports and Entertainment, and PacificSport Fraser Valley.

Ella Little, the owner of Ella’s Closet, a women’s boutique that operated in Brookswood for about four decades, retired this year. As well, Dale Ball, former president of the business association, passed away back in March. “With Ella’s closing down and the huge loss in the community with Dale Ball’s passing, we thought we could take the lead on this community initiative,” said Williamson. “It’s an act of people helping people.” She said Coast Capital Savings will organize the decorating again next year.

Myths & realities:

You wanna roll like a gangster? ▾ MYTH: Gangs have formal organization and structure: Reality: By and large, few youth gangs evolve into adult criminal organizations and most gangs are loosely structured, with transient membership and easily breached codes of loyalty. With many gang members being arrested or murdered, membership is usually in a constant state of ﬂux with internal competition for leadership roles.

Langley in Mayor Preston calls for recount after falling to Driediger A38 Thursday, November 26, 2015

LangleyAdvance

Winter Fair in Toronto. Tom Berry was their coach. ˠ Langley council and representatives of the Board of Trade were taken on a tour of the Fraser Valley in Pacific State Lines’s new, streamlined buses.

ˠ Maple Ridge and Langley councils were negotiating with E.C. Parson to start a ferry between Albion and Fort Langley. Parson had three self-propelled barges. ˠ Langley was to vote on whether or not to abolish the ward system for civic elections. ˠ Delegations to the school board complained there were no lights at Lochiel school, and that children were leaving home too early and returning too late because of inadequate transportation. A new school bus, already on order, would increase the fleet to six.

Sixty Years Ago

November 25, 1955

ˠ The newest and largest drug store in the Cunningham chain opened in Langley. ˠ The Langley Board of Trade proposed approaching the superintendent of motor vehicles in Victoria about establishing a drivers’ testing station in Langley. Lloyd Steele headed the committee.

Fifty Years Ago

November 25, 1965

ˠ A 5.65-per-cent salary increase for teachers received quick approval from Langley trustees. ˠ Three hundred guests were on hand for the annual Douglas Day banquet in the Langley High School auditorium. ˠ K and F Construction’s bid of $41,369 on the contract for the new Langley Centennial Library was within the estimate of architect Al Church.

Forty Years Ago

November 20, 1975

ˠ Township Mayor George Preston asked for a judicial recount after he was defeated in his re-election bid by George Driediger, who had polled 2,131 votes to Preston’s 2,076. ˠ Topping the Township’s aldermanic list were Art Brooks, Jock Lindsay, and Jim Lee. ˠ In the school board race, Howard Anderson and Mary Douglas won in the Township, and Peter McNamara got the nod in the City. ˠ Tenders were called for a 13,788-square-foot addition to Township hall. Estimated cost was $455,000. ˠ Bob McClelland, Socred MLA for Langley, was acclaimed his party’s candidate in the upcoming provincial election.
