The big red bin in the Willowbrook Mall says TOYS in huge letters, but the Langley Christmas Bureau is hoping to fill it with much more. The bureau’s volunteers began their Christmas blitz on Nov. 26 to collect cash, gift cards, clothing, baby supplies, and toys for kids from infants to teens. They’ll be wrapping up the annual toy and gift drive on Dec. 13. After that, needy families in the Langleys pick up toys, gifts and books for each child in the family. “That’s the week that the gifts are distributed to families,” mall collection organizer Sylvia Anderson said. On Black Friday, with the mall quite busy for a weekday morning, several people stopped by with gifts – a woman dropped off makeup kits for teenaged girls, a mother and her daughter brought a toy for a threeyear-old, and a man pulled out his cheque-
book to make a donation on the spot. Some recipients are harder to collect toys for than others. “Usually teenagers are the most difficult,” said Anderson. The bureau’s volunteers will recommend gifts if the giver isn’t certain what to bring. The Christmas Bureau’s drop off system is simple. • Gifts should be unwrapped • No stuffed toys, dolls, or clothing (other than baby clothing) • Cash and cheque donations are gratefully accepted and go a long way; receipts will be given for anything over $20. Once a gift has been dropped off, a donor can hang a star on the Christmas tree. The number of families that will be helped this year is uncertain. Anderson notes that last year it was more than 800. This year, they’re preparing for as many people as need their help to give their families a proper holiday. Although Syrian refugees aren’t expected in Langley in any significant numbers this year, the bureau will help. Gifts can be dropped off at the mall, and during weekday business hours at the Langley Advance at 6375 202nd St., and at the Christmas Bureau’s headquarters at 19638 Fraser Hwy.

Special to the Langley Advance
A Langley man who killed someone in a road-rage hit-and-run will be granted statutory release in January, even though he is considered a moderate risk to reoffend and continues to have anger-management issues. Brent Donald Parent, 47, is serving a 5.5year sentence for criminal negligence causing death, dangerous driving and leaving the scene of an accident in connection with the death of 21-year-old Silas O’Brien. In the early hours of March 13, 2008, O’Brien and two friends were driving to the
airport and tried to pass Parent’s pickup on 16th Avenue in Langley, but Parent forced them off the road and into a ditch. The young men got out of their overturned truck and were standing on the side of the road when Parent returned a few minutes later. The men shouted and waved at Parent, who swerved toward them and hit and killed O’Brien. Parent heard the impact, but said at trial that he thought someone had thrown a rock or kicked his truck and said he had no idea he’d hit anyone until the next day. Parent’s driving record is comprised of 64 infractions and was described in court as “egregious.” He also has a criminal history with convictions for cultivating a narcotic and mischief. Parent was sent to prison in May 2012. His statutory release date is Jan. 10. Statutory release is automatically granted to most offenders after they have served twothirds of their sentence.
When he was denied day parole in February of this year, Parent’s file indicated he had a limited understanding of his offence cycle, minimal understanding or commitment to relapse prevention, had displayed a sense of entitlement and demanding behaviour, and was unable to follow direction. To protect the public and help with his reintegration, six special conditions have been imposed on Parent’s statutory release: not consuming alcohol, avoiding people who are involved in criminal activity or substance abuse, not contacting the victims, following a treatment plan for anger management and violence, not operating a motor vehicle – he is prohibited from driving for 12 years – and reporting all intimate relationships and friendships with women. Parent’s sentence expires on Nov. 9, 2017. – Jennifer Saltman is a reporter for the Vancouver Province.

Man arrested again for theft A Langley man is back behind bars, suspected of more thefts. A prolific offender from Langley has been arrested in Surrey and charged with a large number of mail thefts. In the last week of November, Surrey RCMP’s Property Crime Target Team (PCTT) began an investigation of a known property crime offender who was recently released on mail theft charges that took place in another community. On Nov. 23rd officers arrested the suspect at a residence in the 20100 block of Fraser Highway after he allegedly committed numerous mail thefts in the Langley area. A subsequent search of the suspect and his vehicle revealed several pieces of stolen mail and break and enter tools. Tyler Barta, a 30-year-old from Langley, has now been charged with theft of mail, possession of a breakin instrument, and breach of recognizance. Barta is believed to be associated to another prolific offender that Surrey RCMP recently arrested and charged for theft of mail and stolen property last month. “Both of these individuals were priority targets for our Property Crime Target Team and should have a positive impact on our property crime,” said Surrey’s Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “Their arrests should also serve as a reminder to residents to take the necessary precautions, especially during the holiday season, and check your mail frequently.” If you plan on being away over the holidays consider putting your mail on hold. Never send cash in the mail, only money orders, and deposit any mail containing sensitive or financial information at your local post office. Report any suspicious activity to police and if you see an overturned or vandalized mailbox contact Canada Post at 1-800-2671177.
FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT
Parade highlights magical evening Downtown Langley is bringing a lively Christmas kick-off with the annual parade, entertainment, and other holiday events. RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com
Downtown Langley is the place to be Saturday evening. A parade, music, and even your friends from the Langley Advance will be on hand to start the community celebration at The Magic of Christmas event. Executive director of the Downtown Langley Business Association, Teri James, noted this year features more entertainment than ever before to ensure there is something for everyone. Plus, let’s not forget the annual parade! That too is bigger and better. “We have more entries than ever [in the parade],” James said. “We have some equestrian riders this year… we’re hoping it’s not too cold.” The parade starts at 6 p.m. and runs along Fraser Hwy. from 56th Ave. to 207th St. James knows families like to get a good spot to watch the parade from, but the wait can be a little boring. Not this year. “We have live music along Fraser Highway from 5:30 to 6 [p.m.],” DETOUR she said. The Magic of Entertainers Christmas events include: Abby will mean big crowds and Keith downtown.

IMMIGRATION
Community plans for Syrian refugee families Langley is organizing for refugees, both government and locally sponsored. MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
If and when refugees arrive in Langley, they will find a community ready to welcome them. There are definitely some refugees coming – local churches are sponsoring private refugee settlements. But as far as the government-sponsored settlement of up to 25,000 refugees in Canada, it’s unknown if Langley will play any part. Regardless, churches, social service organizations, and governments are gearing up for the arrival of a few families or a few hundred. At a Thursday afternoon meeting at the Douglas Recreation Centre, more than a hundred people representing local organizations gathered to make connections and talk about the early stages of a settlement strategy. As of the week of Nov. 26, the government was expecting about 400 Syrian refugees to arrive in B.C. by the end of 2015. A total of 1,500 was expected by the end of Feburary.

want to comment on exactly what council is considering when it comes to any tax rate increases. He said the council is trying to keep any tax increase low. The budget is expected to be finalized on Jan. 6 this year. Aside from an RCMP officer, improvements to roads and parks are contemplated, and the City will have to fund more staff for the expanded Timms Community Centre, now nearing completion. There is also an increase in the City’s policing budget regardless, thanks to cost increases handed down from the national force, which should amount to about $350,000 for the City, Schaffer said. On top of that, the cost of DNA testing is being downloaded to cities thanks to a change in a federal-provincial deal to fund a Vancouverbased lab. The costs are expected to amount to about $80,000 for Langley Township and Schaffer said it could be around $5,000 for the City. Langley Township is looking at hiring two new RCMP officers next year. Township Councillor Angie Quaale had raised concerns at a recent Township budget meeting about whether or not the City was doing its part for the joint force. While the Langley RCMP serves both Langleys and is funded by both governments, each municipality can choose to hire new officers. Arguments about policing costs have erupted numerous times since the City split from the rest of Langley in the 1950s. With more than four times the population of the City, the Township has always taken on more of the policing costs. But crime rates are higher in the denser, more urbanized City. The City has been working on bringing down crime rates. Supt. Murray Power has noted recently that the area most in need of more officers is Willoughby in Langley Township, simply because its population is growing so rapidly.

Look at, but don’t touch, decorations
I
just finished doing one of my least favourite things for this time of year: raking leaves. And when I’m done here, I’ll have to get at another one: getting the Christmas decorations out of the attic. I like leaves. I also like Christmas decorations. But I like them both best when I don’t have to be too directly involved with them. When it comes to both leaves and Christmas decorations, I like the “look, but don’t touch” philosophy just fine. Just as snow should stay up high in the mountains, where it belongs, leaves should stay up high in the trees. Now, I should interject here that I don’t much mind raking chestnut leaves. But that’s only because Donna usually ends up raking them while I’m doing other stuff. But the oak... that’s another story. The oak nearly always hangs onto its leaves until the weather gets cold and miserable enough that it’s Donna’s turn to have something else to do. I’d like conifers – the firs and spruces and such – just fine, except they always somehow get connected to the Christmas decorations. So now, in a short while, after I’ve settled the first of many batches of oak leaves down for their long winter’s nap (after which, I’m hoping, I’ll be able to repurpose them as plant food), I’ll have
ornaments, many of them to climb up into the freezing clothed in wonderful memcold attic and bring down ories... little white angels the boxes of wreaths, an crocheted by my mother old nativity scene with tiny now so many years gone, sheep and cows, and a minispecial gifts from the kids ature village that takes up (some of the art class prohalf of a table and blinks its jects are the most beautiful little Dickensian streetlights of all), special gifts to ourmindlessly at all those who selves, poignant reminders are instinctively drawn to of other, sometimes hardstudy it for signs of Scrooge. er times, Donna’s and There’s the animated Mr. my respective ornaments and Mrs. Claus dolls who do bequeathed from the trees their best to look as merry BOB GROENEVELD decorated by our parents as the season, despite the in our youth, some cloaked ravages of time that have in generations of memories tilted Santa’s head in such a way that he now looks leeringly at and some only reminders that they were his lady love, and then off into a vacant once attached to memories. distance, and then back at his sweetie, The numbers of memories and shades and then off into the emptiness... almost of memories packed in bubble wrap and as if he’s seriously thinking of making a yellowed newsprint have grown so that break for it. there are now far too many to fit on There are, of course, strings of lights any tree that we could squeeze inside to unpack and laboriously unravel from our house... and yet, somehow, I know the rats’ nests that they have inevitably every last one of them will find its place become... a task that never ceases to on a branch, on a twig, hanging from bewilder me, since I know that, every one of those damnable light strings, or year when I put them away, I dutifully simply cozying up to one another on the pack them so as to prevent tangling, mantle over the nearby electric fireplace. carefully winding the strings individually Hmmm... even for an old curmudgeon on pieces of cardboard and plywood that like me, it’s beginning to look a lot like I intend to cut for them each year.

Odd Thoughts
ell, that was a short honeymoon. New PM Justin Trudeau was ushered into power amid a mood of positivity and change. After a Conservative government that, in its later years, had been mired in numerous spending scandals, from $8 orange juice to Mike Duffy’s trial, any new leader had to campaign to be clean. And Trudeau did, decrying tax cuts for the rich that would have benefitted him and other members of Canada’s one per cent. But now, having settled in, Trudeau suddenly has no problem accepting taxpayer money for things he could easily afford for himself. The Trudeau family’s two nannies will be paid for out of the public purse, not the Trudeau family bank account. That’s an astoundingly tone-deaf decision for a government just coming into power to make. Especially after an election that wasn’t just fought over corruption and overspending, but over public access to child care. On the spending side, Mr. Trudeau can certainly afford to pay for his own childcare needs. This year the PM will be paid $334,800, which happens to be more than 10 times the median income in Canada. While other Canadians fret about finding a daycare they can afford, has space, and trust with their kids, at least one family can relax. During the campaign, each of the parties had their plans for child care, with the NDP advocating a publicly funded system, the Tories looking to tax breaks for the middle (and wealthy) classes, and the Liberals… they promised to start working on a plan within 100 days of taking office. Well, they certainly applied that zeal for action to taking care of their leader’s childcare needs. Let’s hope they drop the government funded nannies and start worrying about the rest of Canadians within the next couple of months. C’mon Mr. Trudeau. The clock is ticking! – M.C.

Letters to the editor
Fascism from left wing, not right Dear Editor, Matthew Claxton (left-wing ideology) is cunningly creative with his article [Painful Truth: What exactly is fascist, anyway? Langley Advance, Nov. 26] attempting to link right-wing conservatives with fascists, however his premise appears misguided. While deciphering his meanings of “fascism” quite okay, he loses it when he attempts to link Donald Trump and other Republican (conservative rightwing) presidential candidates to the odious “fascist” label. He even calls them alarming... on the verge of becoming fascists. I consider my ideology to be a realist, “fiscal conservative with a healthy respect for social values.” Let’s discuss a realistic political spectrum of the use of this
term “fascist.” M. Claxton properly associates Nazi Germany and Italy as fascist states however his article cleverly implies a “right-wing” denunciation. Since the Second World War, all the left-wing academia learning institutions, universities, the media, Wikipedia etc. have purposely repelled and twisted themselves from “fascism” by repeating the opposite aspersion, calling them “Far or Extreme Right Wing Nazis.” Traditionally, the western world political ideology spectrum has simply been; On the Left – big and more government control of the people, less individual freedoms. On the Right – smaller and less government control of the people, more individual freedoms. More government on the left;
Bad language can be a lifelong bad habit Dear Editor, A while back I noticed a very disturbing trend at an elementary school in Langley City. There were children using bad language and talking trailer trash out in the schoolyard during recess, lunch and after school hours. F-Bombs were dropped here and there, hence homophobic slurs and even the word “retard.” These children looked like they could pass for primary ages ranging from kindergarten through Grade 3. I am very shocked and appalled. It’s absolutely disgusting and deplorable how children at such a young age are picking up on this abusive vocabulary. One can only wonder if the adults in this neighbourhood are just as bad. After all, these kids had to learn it from somewhere. It’s easy to point fingers at poverty, schools, and mental illness etc, but at the end of the day, the responsibility rests on parents. Unfortunately in today’s world, there is no accountability anymore, as some parents choose to play the victim
card instead. Consequences for bad behaviour are extremely vital in helping children to learn right from wrong so that they grow up to respect authority. I would like to offer a word of advice to parents: you are responsible for your own child. While teachers can educate your children during school, there’s only so much they can do because it is your job to teach them right from wrong at home. Even if you are feeling frustrated or angry about something, your best bet is to avoid using inappropriate language in front of your children; they see you as the main role model in their lives. Also, get to know whom their friends are so that you can rest assured they will avoid associating with other kids who often get into trouble at school. For your own children’s sake, please take care of your household instead of rushing to see the latest likes on Facebook. Time to get off the computer and be a parent. M. Brian, Surrey
limited government on the right. “Nazi” is an abbreviated name for Adolf Hitler’s political party which translates in English to “National-Socialist German Workers Party.” If you disregard the superfluous “National” and “German” you have Hitler’s “Socialist Workers Party” which practiced total control big government tyranny called ‘fascism’. You can’t get much further left-wing than that except for Marxism or Communism like Hitler’s totalitarian nemesis Joseph Stalin was in Russia. All variations of “fascism” are ipso-facto left-wing, thus M. Claxton’s article asserting right-wing tagging of political candidates was an invitation for exception and debate. Roland Seguin Langley

public notices Be Prepared: Winter Safety Tips Working together, we can all make a difference to improve safety during winter snowfalls and storms. • Remove vehicles parked on the road in front of your property so municipal vehicles can complete work. • Avoid or delay driving whenever possible until snowfall slows or stops entirely. • Plan for increased travel time to your destination and ensure your vehicle is properly equipped. • Clear snow from the sidewalk adjacent to your property as soon as possible. • Place snow shoveled from your sidewalk and driveway onto your lawn to the right of the driveway, on the side the snow plow passes last, to avoid it being pushed back into the driveway. • Walk on the left side of the road facing traffic so that you can see, hear, and avoid oncoming traffic. • Caution children against building snow structures in roadside snowbanks. • Caution children against playing sports on roads when roads are being sanded and plowed. For more information on our winter program, visit tol.ca/stormresponse. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter (@LangleyTownship) for regular updates from the Township. To learn more about the Snow and Ice program, visit our YouTube channel for video demonstrations. Engineering Division 604.532.7300 opsinfo@tol.ca
Flooding: Preventative Maintenance You can do your part to reduce flooding risks by clearing nearby curbs and catch basins of leaves and debris, especially during heavy rain. Please do not rake leaves from your property or boulevard onto the street or into open ditches. Instead, collect and compost leaves on site or bag them for future pick-up.

Helping raise awareness and funds for local causes were hospice volunteer April Fandstone, and Rivermen Zack Bleuler, Jordan Schneider and Max Kaufman.

Five Langley charities are hoping that residents who’ve adopted Black Friday and Cyber Monday will also be open to Giving Tuesday each Dec. 1. The Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation, Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS), Langley Hospice Society, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley and the Langley School District 35 Foundation have partnered to encourage people to think about the true meaning of the Christmas season. “It’s been neat to see it grow,” Shannon Todd Booth, with the Langley Hospice Society, said of Giving Tuesday. Black Friday falls right after American Thanksgiving and in the high tech age was followed by Cyber Monday. Then came Giving

Zoe Booth volunteered at the Willoughby Save-On Foods along with Aaron Spears, a Township firefighter at the Walnut Grove hall. Below (Langley Hospice Society photo) Langley City Mayor Ted Schaffer and Councillor Rudy Storteboom joined LMHF representative Erin McDonald and Shannon Todd Booth, of the Langley Hospice Society, to promote Giving Tuesday. Tuesday and the three concepts expanded beyond U.S. borders. “We hope over time that it will be a day that we recognize throughout the whole community,” she said. In addition to the five local charities, several businesses and others have come forward to support
Giving Tuesday around Langley. Langley Township firefighters (through their charitable society) did a barbecue at the Willoughby Save-On Foods. CD Logistics had a food drive for the Salvation Army. Forever Yours Lingerie has teamed up with Shoppers Drug Mart on an initiative. The Save-On Foods in Aldergrove, Brookswood Buy Low Foods and Otter Coop had hot drinks by donation. There were Giving Tuesday volunteers at the Langley Superstore
and Willowbrook Shopping Centre, and collections were done at the Fort Pub and JD Farms. “We felt the day went incredibly well and had a great response from the community,” Todd Booth said after. She added that anyone wanting to find out more can go to givingtuesday. ca. Local people were asked to tweet with the hashtag #LangleyGives to help spread the message of Giving Tuesday – a growing civic movement to celebrate and promote volunteerism and philanthropy.

CHRISTMAS BUREAU
Pajamas needed for kids A Langley woman is once again collecting PJs for children and teens in need.
Volunteers at last year’s pajama drive included Alexis Haugen, Madeline Haugen, Hope Blair, Caitlin McKenzie, Jasmine Robertson, and Emmaly Colins, who wore comfy PJs while collecting.
MICHAELA GARSTIN news@langleyadvance.com
N
ow that winter is approaching, it’s time for Langley’s “jammie fairy” to bring cozy pajamas to boys and girls again. She will be collecting donations outside the Langley Walmart on Sunday, Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Any donated children’s pajamas will be dropped off at the Langley Christmas Bureau in time for the holiday season, explained ‘jammie fairy’ Mary Lou Robertson. “For many children, receiving a new pair of Christmas pajamas has become a holiday tradition,” said Robertson, a Langley resident who has organized the drive for the past three years. “For others, meeting their family needs at Christmas has become a struggle,” she added. “New jammies on Christmas are guaranteed to bring a smile to their faces and warmth to their hearts,” Robertson explained.
Last year, 436 pairs of pajamas were donated. People are asked to drop off a pair of new PJs for a child or teen, between sizes 2 to 16, for a boy or girl. Many people buy pajamas for younger children, but Robertson would like to remind donors that tweens and teens are also in need. Money donated during the drive will be used to buy more pajamas from local stores for children in need. The campaign began with a nurse at HealthLinkBC, who wanted all children and teens to have new pajamas for the holiday season, regardless of their family’s financial situation. Robertson took over when the founder retired in 2013. Donations have increased from around 100 to more than 400 pairs of pajamas in the
past three years. This year, Z95.3, a Vancouver radio station, will be playing music on location. The pajamas, along with donated toys, will be picked up by disadvantaged families during the Langley Christmas Bureau’s annual toy depot from Dec. 14 to 16, just in time for Christmas, Robertson said. In past years, parents and caregivers have lined up from 5 a.m. to pick out the perfect gifts for their children. More than 100 volunteers gather together each year to make the Langley Christmas Bureau possible. Last year, 803 families and 1,600 children received assistance from the bureau. For more information on the Langley Christmas Bureau, people can call 604-530-3001 or visit its website at langleychristmasbureau.com.

A seasonal mystery keeps Sherlock Holmes and his trusty Watson busy this Christmas season. RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com
There’s a Christmas goose on the loose and Sherlock Holmes plans to solve the mystery. It’s happening on stage at Brookfield Hall in the Burnaby Village Museum as part of Heritage Christmas. Who will help Holmes solve the case? None other than Watson, but this Watson is played by Langley actress Karissa Ketter as her brother Jeremy helps out off stage as the show’s stage manager. “Our play is kind of set up so I’m the God-daughter to Sherlock,” Karissa said. “He’s teaching me his ways.” The performance season is the sixth Ketter has done at the Burnaby museum and is almost the only live-theatre acting the 13-year-old does in addition to her on-screen performances.

“I’ve been doing theatre since [2009],” she said. “I’ve been acting on film, TV, and in commercials since I was seven or six I think.” Her brother, who is two years older, spent time at the museum each year Karissa was in the holiday show. “Three years ago he was just hanging around backstage,” she said. “He saw how much I enjoyed being there, but didn’t want to be on stage.” It was natural for Jeremy to assume stage manager duties. Much like his sister, it’s the only involvement in live theatre he has taken on. The show runs at 2:30, 4, and 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays until Dec. 13 in the heritage space. While it isn’t a huge stage, Karissa enjoys the proximity she has to

the audience. “I like the relationship you can have with the audience,” she said. “I can totally go off of them. If they laugh, I can play it up. It just builds your emotions.” Between shows she enjoys the surroundings the museum offers. “I love Burnaby Village Museum, it’s such a beautiful space,” Karissa said. The other aspect Karissa enjoys about performing at the museum is the period piece nature of each year’s performance. “I love it. Since it’s a museum, they do period pieces every year,” she noted. Admission to the performances is free. For more information email fortetheatresociety@gmail.com.
It is lights, camera, and action for a number of local business owners whose success stories are featured in a new promotional video for the Township of Langley. The business attraction video was made by the Township’s economic development department to encourage companies to locate, expand, and grow in the Township. “The Township of Langley has everything it takes to run a successful business – affordable land, a central location, and a great quality of life for the people who live and work here,” said Val Gafka, senior manager of corporate administration. “It just makes sense to showcase the companies that are thriving and let their owners share in their own words why they chose to locate here in the Township.” Featuring companies ranging from small retail outlets to large professional services, the video outlines the business assets that the Township has to offer. Named one of the Top Seven “Best Cities for Work in B.C.” by BC Business Magazine in 2014 and one of the Real Estate Investment Network’s Top 10 “Investment Towns in BC” in 2015, the Township of Langley is the hub of the Lower Mainland. More than 7,000 businesses operate in the Township, covering 550 distinct economic activities. Of those, 14 of the top 82 largest manufacturers in Metro Vancouver are located in the Township. “A diversified economy is critical to sustaining our healthy commercial climate,” said Gafka. “The greater the variety of business sectors, the better the opportunity we have to maintain a viable economic strategy and plan.” She noted that, with three-quarters of the Township’s land located in the Agricultural Land Reserve, the economic development department is looking at new strategies to make the best use of the existing lands available and developing innovative partnerships and opportunities. The video premiered Nov. 5 at Langley Township’s 5th Annual Economic Forum, where business owners in the video were acknowledged for helping promote the Township and the economy. > More at langleyadvance.com

The woman behind the sultry voice with a vast range is Darby Mills and the band’s front-woman will be celebrating her birthday at the concert tonight (Dec. 3) at Cascades Casino. Headpins were founded in the Lower Mainland in the 1970s and started gaining traction with audiences in Vancouver in the early 1980s when the group’s
album hit platinum in 1982 on the popularity of hit song Don’t it Make Ya Feel. Expect this classic song and others to be performed by the group tonight. Tickets for the show are $42.50 from casino guest services, order by phone at 604-530-2211, or through www.ticketweb.ca. doors open at 7 p.m. for this classic rock birthday celebration.

Awards launched The first Fraser Valley Music Awards is coming to Abbotsford in July 2016 thanks to a $50,000 grant from the Community Radio Fund of Canada. The event, as explained by co-ordinator James Kasper (who founded the Vancouver Island Music Awards), will celebrate local arts and culture as well as support local musicians. “The aim of this event is to inject new life into local arts and culture,” Kasper said. “There is an abundance of great music in the Fraser Valley, and we want to bring attention
to it and bring all facets of the scene together on one night to network and celebrate.” Through Abbotsford’s 101.7 CIVL Radio, volunteers, sponsors, and musicians are being gathered. The station has held successful Battle of the Bands events in the past and a 2016 battle will lead up to the Fraser Valley Music Awards. Langley-based band Derrival was a previous Battle of the Bands winner and later went on to the Peak Performance Project. Area musicians will be asked to provide their music to the event’s jury when submissions begin Feb. 1, 2016. In the meantime, those interested in being volunteers or sponsors can email fvma@civl. ca or call 604-851-6330.

Myths & realities:
With $10,000 in the bank and a great idea, J. Galen Wilson will step behind the camera to create short film The Third Bandit with David I. Strasser. Wilson, born and raised in Fort Langley, worked together with Strasser on the film’s trailer brief to enter the Storyhive contest. “It wasn’t the easiest project we’ve ever done,” Wilson said of filming the trailer locally. “We had to call in some favours.” Storyhive, a Telus initiative, gives film creators funding and distribution opportunities. The
at an early age. “I’ve been interested in film, I suppose since I was 12 when my parents got me a small cassette camera,” he noted. “My fascination with film is the frame. That’s what I love about movies. That visual aspect, I can’t get over it.” The original script for The Third Bandit came from the film’s lead actor, Jesse Pratt, who plays the brother of a sibling pair of runaway teens who travel across the B.C. Coast Mountains only to get entwined with a cult leader and a disgraced cop. The short will be produced in January, filmed in the Lower Mainland.

Nibblers are busy Dear Anne,
We recently planted a new green topiary bush which is doing well in the middle of our garden bed. The label suggests it be taken indoors for winter. We are not planning on digging it up.
Verna Mar, Vancouver
Gardening in Langley
How much cold your topiary can stand depends on the variety and winter weather. Most tender bushes sold here for garden use are zone 8. If you live near the coast, a zone 8 plant might squeak through mild, brief frosts. Your burlap suggestion might work for brief, mild overnight ground frosts – but any significant freeze-ups are will do severe damage. The roots need mulching with straw, bark mulch or compost at least two feet (60 centimetres) wide and at least a foot (30cm) deep. In severe freezes, the upper part could be covered with a thick blanket. Remove this in warmer spells and in rain because a bush needs light. Where rain alternates rapidly with freezing, the blanket could be covered with plastic. This shouldn’t be used next to the bush because plastic holds moisture which could rot the smaller branches and leaves. Some people put Christmas ANNE MARRISON lights around a tree before covering it. These should have incandescent bulbs (not LED). The bulbs themselves shouldn’t touch any part of the tree. You could try putting a fence of stakes around it and fasten the lights inside of the stakes. Cover with the temporary blanket.
Dear Anne,
Something is chewing on my Rose of Sharon bush overnight. It is leaving big areas of the branch exposed. Do you have any idea what it could be and what I can do to try to prevent it? Will this cause much harm or even kill my bush?
Heather Scott, South Surrey
The culprits are likely deer or squirrels. Rabbits or voles attack at soil level. Rats can chew bark but usually don’t. A tree or tree branch will usually die if the bark is removed all the way around. But as long as some bark remains, the bush will recover and eventually the patch heals. It’s possible to get plastic or metal tree guards to protect trunks. Branches can be wrapped with plastic mesh, small-mesh wire, burlap or hardware cloth. Some people paint branches with white latex paint. Repellents can be mixed into the paint. Deterrent sprays need to be re-applied after rain. Anne Marrison is happy to answer gardening questions.

Kids use talents to help other Proceeds from Saturday’s Kids Can Help show go to BC Children’s Hospital. TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
Sean Thomas’s grandmother was the inspiration behind Kids Can Help (KCH), a program that helps ailing children and their families. “I founded the program after my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer,” Thomas related, as he prepares to host the fifth annual KCH Silent Auction and Talent Show on Saturday at Langley Fundamental Elementary School. “I saw how hard it was for her and our family,” Thomas elaborated. “I really wanted to do something to help, and I thought of kids and their families who were going through the same thing.” Thomas was eight years old when he launched the program in 2009. One hundred per cent of the funds raised from the program goes to BC Children’s Hospital. Thomas noted that so far, KCH has raised more than $80,000, with the goal this year to top the $100,000 mark. “We have grown to more than 30 members from Langley, Surrey, White

tionship between the branch at Willowbrook Drive and 200th Street and Cunningham’s class is the students’ involvement in fundraising to buy gifts for two of the angels. The class uses money they earn through doing extra chores are home to buy a gift for the children their two angels represent. Once they tally the money they collect, they will decide what to purchase. Branch members can go into the Vancity location and participate. Like the kids from Langley Meadows, members simply select an angel from the tree to buy a gift for and return that gift, unwrapped, with the angel attached and place it under the tree. “They return the gifts with the angel,” Toews said. “Ishtar wraps the gifts for the Christmas party.” When asked why the local branch continues to choose Ishtar Transition Society as the charity for its angel tree, Toews replied, “There’s a real need there. At that time, [fleeing domestic violence] they really have nothing.” Gifts are given out by Santa at the Ishtar Christmas breakfast on Dec. 19.

Rivermen hoping success spills over Langley has a relatively light schedule ahead. TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
Take Friday’s rather surprising 2-1 loss to the visiting Merritt Centennials out of the equation, and the Langley Rivermen are on a roll heading into December. A bounce-back, 4-2 win over the West Kelowna Warriors Saturday at the Langley Events Centre gives the ’Men five wins in their past six games to close out November. The Rivermen’s record now stands at 17-12, and they sit third in the B.C. Hockey League’s Mainland Division, two points back of the secondplace Wenatchee Wild (168-2-2) and five behind the front-running Chilliwack Chiefs (18-6-1-2). The Rivermen have a light schedule ahead. They head to Salmon Arm this Saturday to play the Silverbacks, then don’t play again until the following Saturday, Dec. 12, when they host the Vernon Vipers at the LEC. It’s a welcome rest for the Rivermen and their leading scorer Matthew Graham, who went down with an injury early in the third period versus West Kelowna.
Troy Landreville/Langley Advance
Langley Rivermen’s top scorer Matthew Graham was about to snap a shot on goal versus the West Kelowna Warriors Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. Below – Rivermen forward Max Kaufman tracked down Warriors puck carrier Brett Mennear. The Rivermen won 4-2. Graham was facing the boards, retrieving the puck when he was hit by a Warriors’ defencemen. Graham’s face and head crashed into the glass, and he fell to the ice in a heap. The play continued, with Graham’s linemate Dominic Franco making a nice power move to the front of the net to score, making it 4-1 for the home team. Graham skated to the bench under his own power but didn’t play another shift after that.
Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson noted that Graham didn’t see any game action after the hit “for precautionary reasons.” “Obviously there are concussion concerns so it’s better to be safe than sorry,” Henderson said. On Tuesday, Henderson reported that Graham, who has 36 points in 29 games (tied with three other players for fifth in league scoring) will be ready to play on Saturday.
Graham and his teammates will get some much-needed down time this week and next after playing 12 games in 23 days this past month, including some back-to-back, and back-toback-to-back, weekends. “It’s been a grind so [the light schedule] couldn’t come at a better time,” Henderson said. “The guys are pretty banged up. It’s also good to get mentally rested.” Looking back at this past weekend, the Rivermen won two of three, beating Prince George by a 4-1 count Thursday at the LEC before their loss to Merritt on Friday and win over West Kelowna on Saturday. Merritt 2, Rivermen 1 The loss to Merritt ended the Rivermen’s four-game unbeaten streak and proved that any team is capable of winning on any given night. The Cents had lost six in a row and were coming off an 11-8 loss in their own barn to the Surrey Eagles on Nov. 23, and despite the win over the Rivermen, sit last in the BCHL’s Interior Division with a 9-19-0-2 record. The Rivermen outshot the Cents 45-25 but goaltender Cole Kehler stopped all but one (a power play goal by Langley defenceman Troy Ring 2:12 into the third period) in leading the visitors to victory. “We ran into a hot goaltender team and they [the Centennials] were looking to end their slide,” Henderson said. “They were embarrassed in their home rink and were looking to redeem themselves. Give them full credit for the win.” Rivermen 4, West Kelowna Warriors 2 Doubling the Warriors is a confidence booster for the Rivermen, who, Henderson said, had all four lines going with everyone contributing in different ways. “I think everybody was ready to go, right from drop of the puck,” Henderson said. Torrin White, Cameron Ginnetti, Adam Sinclair, and Franco scored for the Rivermen, who led 3-1 after 40 minutes. Goaltender Bo Didur had a solid night for the ’Men, stopping 33 of 35 shots. He was named second star of the game.

L
angley’s Sydni Kemper has accepted a full-ride softball scholarship to Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, Ariz., one of three offers she received from U.S. Div. 1 universities. A pitcher for the Ridge Meadows Pride 2000 and Synergy Gold U18 teams, Kemper sparked interest from across the U.S. over the last two seasons, resulting in multiple offers and expressions of interest. This summer, she was scouted by the Arizona Impact Gold at the 2015 Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championships in Surrey, giving her the opportunity to play with the Impact in the Arizona FroShow and the Thanksgiving Shootout in Phoenix this month. Within days of the tournaments, she had three official offers of full-ride scholarships from Div. 1 schools. She accepted the verbal offer from Grand Canyon University on Nov. 19. “The biggest thing for me was head coach Ann Pearson and the assistant coaches Christi Musser and Kelsey Rodriguez,” said Kemper, on her choice of GCU over the other offers. “They have a very structured system when it comes to how they run their team, and after talking with all three, I felt like I already knew what was expected of me without question. They are all very enthusiastic about the game and I feel like my years at GCU are going to be some of my best.” t’s an achievement that has made Kemper and her family incredibly proud. “My dad, from the very first time I picked up a ball, told me I was going to go far one day

If there were two things I’ve learned, it’s that presence is everything and that my parents aren’t always wrong. I have loved it from the first time I picked up the ball.” At 15, Kemper throws a 62 mph fastball and is a power hitter with a .426 batting average. “Sydni was always the first player to the park,” said her pitching coach, Kim Brooks. “She worked hard even when she struggled and this helped her grow into the pitcher she is today. I’m excited to see her evolve into an amazing pitcher.” Kemper’s intention is to pursue both a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training and a Bachelor of Business in Sport Management while at GCU. It’s an opportunity to be an elite athlete while pursing the education of elite athletics. “My dream has been to play for a Division 1 school ever since the differences in the levels of universities was explained to me,” Kemper said. “I knew I wanted to play with the best and be the best. I feel like at GCU I have the ability to do both.” > More: langleyadvance.com, search ‘Grand Canyon University’
The lights went out partway through the second quarter at McLeod Stadium Sunday afternoon, but that did not deter Langley Minor Football’s 12-man midget football team from achieving its objective of qualifying for the B.C. championship game. The Langley Stampeders downed the Chilliwack Giants 37-12 in their B.C. Community Football Association semifinal match-up. The Stampeders opened the scoring in the first quarter when Kyle Clarot picked off a Chilliwack pass and scampered 70 yards into the end zone. On the ensuing kickoff, Langley recovered a short kick at the Chilliwack 30-yard line. On the next play, Riley Carter hit paydirt for the Stamps’ second major. Chilliwack responded with a a six-play drive that started on its own 47-yard line, capped by a 33-yard run to the Stamps’ end zone. The opening quarter ended with Langley leading 14-6. The Stamps dominated the second stanza, starting with a five-play drive that began at their 43-yard marker. A pass to Simon Odong added another Langley major. A second successful on-side kickoff resulted in a field goal by Langley’s Nolan McMurchy. The Stamps’ defence then held the Giants at their own 43-yard line, causing a turnover on downs. Two penalties against the Giants resulted in the ball being spotted on the 19. A run by quarterback Devante Wilson, on a broken play, added to the Langley score as the Stamps entered halftime leading 30-6.

Langley Stampeders ball carrier Simon Odong avoided a diving Chilliwack tackler during the Community Football Association’s midget provincial semifinal match-up at McLeod Stadium. With darkness setting in as the third stanza opened, the Stamps used a fumble recovery at the Giants’ 53 to move down the gridiron, culminating with a second touchdown by Odong as Langley carried a 37-6 lead into the final quarter. Chilliwack put two nice marches together in the final frame, highlighted by a 90-yard scoring drive into the Stamps’ end zone. The win puts Langley in the provincial championship final versus the Victoria Spartans, who edged the North Surrey Bears in their semifinal contest. This marks three consecutive years that the Stamps have reached the provincial final.
Bantam Bears’ season ends
The North Langley Bears’ bantam football season ended all too suddenly, with a 24-8 loss to the Victoria Spartans. A series of penalties left the Bears’ offence with poor field position throughout the first half of the game, and stymied any attempts at a drive. Interceptions by Bears defenders Trevor Paulenz and Andrew Marshall kept North Langley close, however the local bantams found themselves down 10-0 at the half-
time break and 24-0 going into the fourth quarter. On offence, Bears quarterback Nick Lacroix completed six passes for 73 yards, including four completions to Connor Hurley. Pablo Wigwigan gained 64 yards on the ground, including an 18-yard romp for the lone North Langley score. Lacroix connected with Alex Henderson on a two-point convert to cap the Bears’ scoring.

DAVID ALAN STEWART (Roo) It is with great sadness that we announce the death of David Alan Stewart on November 25, 2015.

Roadside safety
say no to drinking & driving this holiday season. This holiday season we’re asking everyone to share the responsibility of being the designated driver. Is it your turn to get your family and friends home safely? We want you to enjoy the season with your loved ones and have a great time. If your festivities involve alcohol, here are a few tips to help make sure everyone gets home safely: • If you’re hosting a party, show your appreciation to the designated drivers by serving a variety of nonalcoholic drinks. Try getting creative with “mocktails” – great tasting drinks made without alcohol. As a responsible host, make sure your guests have alternatives to get home safely. Call a cab, set money aside for transit or if necessary, let your guests stay overnight. Plan your safe ride home before you start drinking. If you’re going to

drink, choose a designated driver before heading out. If it’s your turn to be the designated driver, be true to your commitment – your friends and family are counting on it. Use other safe alternatives to get home safely: call a taxi, take transit, use a shuttle service or call a sober friend. Another option is Operation Red Nose. From November 30 to December 31, if you’ve been drinking or are too tired to drive home, call 1-877-604-NOSE and a team of three Operation Red Nose volunteers will help make sure you, your passengers and vehicle get home safely.
