Witnesses sought in assault case Doctors are still waiting to see how serious the victim’s injuries are. MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A Langley mother pleaded for witnesses to come forward after an attack last weekend put her 20-year-old son in the hospital in serious condition. Diane Shannon’s son Cole was celebrating his birthday Saturday night in Pitt Meadows. At about 2:25 a.m. Sunday morning, he was assaulted outside a Subway restaurant in the 12400 block of Harris Road. Ridge Meadows RCMP say a group of men got into an altercation, which quickly turned violent. They knocked Cole to the ground then walked away. Since the incident, Shannon and Cole’s other family members have been spending their days at New Westminster’s Royal Columbian Hospital. “With the head injury, he sleeps a lot,” said Shannon. “It’s day to day, we don’t know what he’s going to be like when he comes out of this.” As far as Shannon can determine, her son and a friend came out of Roosters Country Cabaret and headed over to the Subway. His friend was apparently outside, trying to phone for a cab when a group of young people came up and got into a fight with
Diane Shannon’s son Cole was attacked and suffered a serious head injury on the weekend. Cole’s friend. Cole apparently walked outside and was punched. He fell and struck his head. The attackers then walked away from the scene. Shannon has been told that only one person in the Subway came out to help – a 26-year-old woman who stayed with Cole until the ambulance arrived. “Investigators have spoken to some witnesses, but are still looking for others who have information regarding this incident,”
said Ridge Meadows RCMP Cpl. Brenda Winpenny. She said police are in the initial stages of an ongoing investigation. After the attack, officers headed to Shannon’s Langley home and woke her up at 4 a.m. to drive her to the hospital. “It was the worst nightmare of my life,” Shannon told the Langley Advance. She has already seen the trauma head injuries can do, as her brother was affected by a 1977 incident. “The doctors say it’s just wait and see,” Mom explained. So far there have been some positive signs. Earlier this week, Cole was taken off life support and he is now breathing on his own. He is waking up briefly at times and communicating, and he seems to have his motor functions. The family won’t know if he’s suffered a brain injury until he wakes up fully. Shannon is asking anyone who knows the people who attacked her son to come forward. “If you know who did this, please turn them in,” she said. Her son is an apprentice electrician with his whole life ahead of him. Now she’s worried that may be ruined by one person’s desire to go looking for a fight. “Please turn them in and do the right thing,” she pleaded. Anyone with information is asked to call Ridge Meadows RCMP at 604-463-6251, or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477. In the meantime, Mounties confirmed Wednesday that investigators are making headway and following up on leads.

Kiernan Hillan Council candidate
Three more locals have thrown their hats into the ring for the Langley City council byelection. Kiernan Hillan, Serena Oh, and Rae Anne Maj are all running for the seat left vacant when the late Dave Hall
stepped down late last year. Hillan is a former municipal roads manager for the city of Richmond, and has volunteered locally with groups including the Langley Hospice Society and St. Joseph’s Charity Committee. He said he wants to stretch local tax dollars further and promote a balanced transit approach for drivers, cyclists, pedestrians, and users of public transit. Maj is a local who was
appointed to the City’s board of variance committee for a three-year term in 2013. Serena Oh ran for Langley Township mayor in the 2014 election, coming in third. She cited homelessness and parks as among her key issues. The new candidates join Nathan Pachal, Sharon Newbery, Mel Kositsky, George Roman, and Carol Gran. At least seven candidates will run for the Feb. 27 byelection.

CACs proposed to fund growth A councillor wants developers to pay for parks and roads. MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A new way of paying for parks, roads, and libraries will be up for debate at next Monday’s Langley Township council meeting. Councillor Michelle Sparrow is putting forward a plan to add community amenity contributions (CACs) to the costs developers pay when building new homes. “Our growth is not paying for growth,” Sparrow said. CACs are a fairly common practice, with both Vancouver and Surrey using them to fund local projects. They are a complement to development cost charges. All developers pay DCCs when they build a new subdivision of homes or townhouses, intended to pay for roads, sewer lines, and other needed infrastructure in growing areas. But Sparrow believes DCCs are not enough. For example, she pointed out that DCCs are calculated to allow the

Normally thieves steal cars by driving them away, but in a Jan. 2 incident in Langley, someone managed to take a Volkswagen Jetta from a parking garage by towing it with a pickup. Surveillance footage from the garage in the 8900 block of 202 Street showed the dark-coloured crew cab pickup hauling away the Jetta. The Jetta has since been recovered, said Cpl. Holly Largy,

driver who clipped a cyclist while making an illegal turn last month. On Dec. 22, a cyclist was riding at the intersection of 66A Avenue
and the Willowbrook Connector. A northbound Honda CRV tried to make an illegal left onto 66A, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. Surveillance video shows the Honda coming to an abrupt stop, most likely when the driver hit the cyclist, Largy said. The driver then gave up on the left turn and headed north towards 208th Street. The cyclist suffered cuts to the top of his head and to one ankle, Largy said.

Missing woman located
A local woman with dementia was found in Surrey. A Saturday search for a missing Langley woman suffering from Alzheimers ended happily. The 69-year-old vanished from her home in the Langley Meadows area at about 9 a.m., and was last seen before her disappearance by her caregiver. Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue were mobilized to look for the woman, and police helped out, with the Air One helicopter in the area to assist in the search. Notices went out to public transit services to be on the lookout for the woman. However, the woman was found that evening unharmed. “She was located at a grocery store in Surrey, refusing to leave at closing time,” said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. According to Central Fraser Valley Search and Rescue, she was taken to hospital to be checked over, but was in good condition.

Annabel Young for the SRES and fisheries expert Dr. Martin Rosenau pointed out the spot where the pipeline crosses. In the creek, sizable rocks create a bit of whitewater, and the banks are narrow. Built in the 1950s, this crossing point for the pipeline was designed to keep the bank stable and avoid erosion. “This is a disrupted ecosystem,” said Rosenau. He’s worried it could be disrupted further, with heavy equipment brought in and the pipeline right of way likely widened, at least during construction. Trees that are second growth – up to
100 years old – could be removed across a broad swathe of land. West Creek, where Rosenau has done research for decades, is home to coho salmon, cutthroat and steelhead trout, and some chinook juveniles. Rosenau and Young, who lives near the pipeline, said that even in July and August West Creek never completely dries up, as some smaller streams do. The way things were done in the 1950s was not ideal, but that was decades ago. “By now, the mindset should have changed,” said Young. Although there are some long term
worries, Rosenau and Young are also worried about the short term impacts of installing the new pipeline. “Notably, Trans Mountain Pipeline is mostly refusing to use directional drilling under streams and wetlands to avoid damage to sensitive habitats,” Rosenau said. Directional drilling is expected to be used on the Salmon River. However, streams like West Creek might be trenched instead – a large ditch would be dug straight across the stream and the water diverted while the pipeline is installed. “The crossing method chosen will be

Local environmental activists are turning their fire on the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion plan as National Energy Board (NEB) hearings begin in earnest this week. On Saturday, Jan. 23 the Salmon River Enhancement Society (SRES) will be presenting their oral arguments against the expansion. The local environmentalists are worried that the pipeline expansion will punch through local creeks and disrupt trees, wildlife, and fish spawning habitat across multiple local waterways. “In the Township of Langley, the new pipeline would cut across not only the Salmon River but also West Creek,” said SRES chair Doug McFee.

HEALTHCARE
Medication bid denied The FDA chose to not approve a drug that, according to Cam Penner, makes a huge difference in his son Doug’s life. TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
Langley’s Cam Penner’s efforts to help his 13-year-old son Doug, and others with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), hit a major road block this week. According to Muscular Dystrophy Canada, DMD is an inherited disorder. The muscles become weaker as the patient gets older. Doug is also the face behind Ride for Doug, an annual fundraising motorcycle ride organized by his dad, Cam. On Nov. 24, Cam flew to Washington DC, where he addressed the Food and Drug Administration Advisory Committee about the impact that Drisapersen makes on Doug’s daily living. “The study we have been on since 2011 has finally reached the stage where the FDA needs to either approve or reject it,”
Theresa Wiebe Photography
Doug Penner, 13, has Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Cam explained in mid-December, as he awaited the ruling. “If approved, other boys with DMD will be able to access the same medication Doug has been taking.” On Jan. 14, Cam informed the Langley Advance that the FDA ruled not to approve the drug at this time. “No reasons for this decision have been released,” Cam said. The drug company BioMarin has issued a press release that current studies will continue for now. This means Doug will still get his Drisapersen. “Thank you BioMarin,” Cam said. According to BioMarin, DMD
affects approximately one in every 3,500 to 5,000 male children, making it the most common fatal genetic disorder diagnosed in childhood. There is currently no FDAapproved therapy designed specifically to treat DMD. For now, Cam said, he and others supporting the use of the drug do not know what is happening next. “Drisapersen is under review by the EU equivalent of the FDA,” Cam said. “There is no timeline on if or when Canada will be included.” While extremely disappointing for the DMD community, Cam said “our medical explorer will continue with his weekly treatments while we watch and pray that we continue to see its benefits.” Prior to the ruling, Cam said a rejection “may spell the end to Drisapersen, and leave DMD boys with exactly zero approved treatments.” As with all experimental medications, there have been risks, side effects, and confusing data, Cam explained. “The FDA is wading through all of these issues and deliberating whether or not to allow access to this drug,” he said last month. “At this point in time, there are no other approved treatments for DMD. None.”

Cellphone gouging never ends

Wrongful convictions tar system
T
he Netflix documentary Making a Murderer asks a question that has only two possible answers, both disturbing. The documentary follows Steven Avery, a Wisconsin man who was convicted of sexual assault in the early 1980s and spent 18 years behind bars. He was then exonerated, released, and was on the verge of winning a major settlement when he was arrested again. This time, he was accused of murder, and was again convicted. So the possibilities are, either a man who was exonerated of one crime went on to commit one in any case, or that the same man could be a victim of two miscarriages of justice. It’s hard for many people to believe that police, prosecutors, judges, and juries could get things so wrong, not just once but possibly twice. Unfortunately, while rare, wrongful convictions are far from unheard of in Canada, as well as in the United States. Canadians have seen a string of high-profile convictions overturned. In some cases, lives were ruined in ways that are impossible to set completely right, no matter how many apologies are given, no matter how much is paid in compensation. What could possibly be done for the family of David Milgaard? The Saskatchewan man was still a
teenager when he was convicted of raping and killing Gail Miller. Milgaard would spend most of the next 23 years in prison. He even escaped twice – on his second attempt, he was recaptured after 77 days on the loose, and shot by the RCMP during his capture. But Milgaard was unequivocally innocent. MATTHEW Later tests and evidence would show that it was Larry Fisher, a serial rapist, who had killed Miller. At least the resolution of that case had a conclusion that could give some comfort to both Milgaard and Miller’s family. Others leave only wounds. Guy Paul Morin spent nine years being tried and re-tried for the murder of a neighbour, nine-year-old Christine Jessop. Although the evidence against Morin was shaky to being with – his time card from work alone suggested he wasn’t around when she vanished – investigators became fixated on him. They famously thought Morin was a “weird-type guy.” As in so many other cases, DNA evidence would eventually rule out Morin. But the true killer has never been found. Sometimes there is no killer.
Painful Truth
hink you pay enough for cellphone and internet service? Well, think again. All three of the major phone/cable/internet firms – Bell, Rogers, and Telus – are either raising or have raised their rates. Considering there are only three major carriers in Canada, who among them control how millions of us connect to one another, to the internet, and to our in-home entertainment, we don’t have much choice. Apparently, the poor dears are strapped because of the falling Canadian dollar, and because of (of course) the cost of building new infrastructure. These complaints are despite the fact that all three companies have hundreds of millions of dollars in profits annually in recent years. Even a bad year for Rogers recently meant earnings of just $255 million in net income. That was a bit lower than their chief rivals recently. It’s difficult to see what we could do to change the situation, however. Auctions of more parts of the spectrum haven’t really created much in the way of competition. Smaller firms have been either bought up by larger ones, or they haven’t extended their range enough to make them useful to many suburbanites outside of the downtown cores of big cities. We could ask the government to step in, but their options are limited. They could break up the big conglomerates, but that would set a possibly dangerous precedent. It’s also no guarantee that we would actually see lower prices. Nationalizing cellphone or internet service sounds like a good way to stifle the industry and drive out investment. Canadians at present still pay among the highest rates for cellphone service in the developed world. There are some reasons for that. We have a vast landscape that needs lots of infrastructure, and a relatively small market. But that doesn’t explain persistent high prices in areas that have been well blanketed by cellphone service for years. Unless we pry ourselves free of our phones, nothing will change. – M.C.
There are several families in Ontario who have seen double tragedies. First, a child died. Then one of the parents was sent to jail for a murder that never happened. The notorious pathologist Charles Smith conducted autopsies that turned up murder where no murder existed. Fathers and mothers were sent to jail because of deaths that had resulted from freak CLAXTON accidents or medical problems. The vast majority of serious criminal investigations in Canada do turn up the proper suspect. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s a cold case that is only solved years later. But there are cases where a combination of events – fixated investigators, bad science, or simple chance – can result in an innocent person going to jail for a crime he or she did not commit. Wrongful convictions damage the system of justice. We can learn two things from them. First, that we are all human, and imperfect, and must beware of our own biases as much as possible. And second, that somewhere in Canada, the innocent are behind bars. Read Bob Groeneveld’s Odd Thoughts online this week at LangleyAdvance.com

Letters to the editor
Apology owed on vaccine issue Dear Editor, I am a father of three kids and together with my wife we have decided not to vaccinate our kids. I will not get into detail about the reasons behind this decision. I would like only to mention that my wife and I are very well educated – I have a MS degree in engineering and my wife has a BS. I am fluent in three languages, my wife in four. Making a decision about your kids is not an easy one, neither is driven by impulse. We, as all of the parents that we know, who have chosen not to vaccinate their kids, had read a good number of articles, scientific researches, publications and books about vaccines, their effect on the human immune system and all their benefits. Mr. Bob Groeneveld [Herd gets into fight with malaria, Jan. 14, Langley Advance] is calling people like me and my wife “sheep” and “too stupid” in his column.
I believe that we are neither. I believe that this kind of language is offensive and is stigmatizing our lawful right as citizens of this country to choose. I will not go further to explain how “mom and dads feel sorry for their kids” after a vaccine has been administered and the kid develops autism, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, sometimes cancer and death. I will not go further in explaining how the life of my best friend and his family have changed after his older son was diagnosed with autoimmune disease and kidney failure due to vaccine administration. These facts, unfortunately are not published by papers or reporters, simply because they don’t fit in the propaganda by pharmaceutical companies. This is just a small evidence for Mr. Groeneveld that I have made my homework. My wife and I have dug information for years, and still do. And
Fort is a village
Thieves must be stopped
Dear Editor, I am afraid some of the people of Fort Langley community are being misunderstood regarding the reasons given for wishing to keep Fort Langley as a “village” and not as a “high street” with three and four storey buildings. Fort Langley is one of B.C.’s most visited tourist destinations in a province wherein tourism is the number one economic contributor. Large buildings may be seen anywhere but special, small, interesting villages are becoming extremely appealing for visitors and therefore for tourism and the economy. I believe the community has worked tirelessly over the years and with all their contributions have proven that Fort Langley matters as the historic Birthplace of B.C. and should be respected as such. Bays Blackhall, Langley
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
if the evidence of the safety of the vaccines are shown in a satisfactory manner, we would gladly accept them and change our position. We are open minded people, that don’t just repeat what we are told or paid to say or write. I believe that Mr. Groeneveld and the editorial team of the newspaper owes us and all the like minded an official apology for the language used in this
article. I do believe that every parent has the right to make a choice for their kids. Whether this is to vaccinate or not, this is a choice that is driven by the best for the kid. The choices we make are typically based on information, experience and fear, and they are all different for all of us, thus the different choices. S. Karanfilov

SAIL ROUNDTRIP FROM VANCOUVER
Vaccines save lives Dear Editor, Fabulous article Bob [Herd gets into fight with malaria, Jan. 14, Langley Advance], always enjoyed reading your thoughts this one was the best. “Why don’t you tell them what you really mean” the good thing sometimes about these type of beliefs it “thins the herd” but in this case their experimenting with the children and the rest of society, i.e. those on chemo etc. I have always said there are two things that have significantly increased life expectancy during the last 100 years or so: antibiotics and vaccinations. Now they overdo the antibiotics and eliminate the vaccinations instead of stopping the disease before it gets started. Brian Parkinson, Langley
Dear Editor, Again this evening, I went to our complex clubhouse to only find a notice on the door that another break-in was attempted and our mailboxes (which are housed inside) were compromised. This happens every other month now… for the last 11 years. We are at the mercy of thieves because they know that the mailboxes Canada Post provides are flimsy and easy targets. We as member of the complex have done our part time and time again with replacing alarm systems, entry systems, video surveillance systems and even replaced the boxes at our cost. But it has all been in vain. The
continued thefts of our mail goes on. It bugs me to no end that the CEO of Canada Post lives a posh lifestyle, on the backs of Canadians, without a care in his world as the rest of the country grapples with mail theft. Since Canada Post doesn’t want to be in the business of mail delivery, I feel that all delivery to these useless mail boxes be stopped. Stop the door-to-door delivery and stop the box delivery. Instead, the mail should be delivered to the local Postal Office for pickup. This is the only way to ensure it is safe and secure and everyone is guaranteed their mail. Sandra Steffan, Langley

Too many kids prompt thumbs down for daycare MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A daycare planned for Brookswood received short shrift at Langley Township council last week.
A local daycare operator had applied to create a new facility, with up to 49 children each day coming to the corner of 204th Street and 42nd Avenue. It was the number of chil-
dren in one facility in a residential neighbourhood that bothered councillors. Councillor Michelle Sparrow, who moved that the project be rejected, said that while the intent was
good, the placement was problematic. The largest daycare approved in a residential area previously had 25 children. According to staff, that one never actually

here’s so much happening in Langley’s business community, that there’s never enough space, and seldom enough time to cover all the cool happenings. But this week, let me start by mentioning the Georgies. This is an awards event, kind of the Oscars in the home building world, that is coming up in midMarch. The list of finalists was just recently released, and – no surprise given the volume of residential construction going on in Langley – there are a few local names on the shortlist. One, for instance, is Homestar Building Corp.’s for their work on a custom family home in North Langley that made the $1.5-$3-million category. >Full list of finalists with local highlights at langleyadvance.com, search ‘Georgie’

Funny Little Thing actress embraces busyness Love under a full moon is complicated but fun for local actress. RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com
It’s a full house at the Surrey Little Theatre from Jan. 28 to Feb. 27 and that’s before the audience even takes their seats. Funny Little Thing Called Love takes 13 actors, four directors, one director mentor, four stage managers, one props girl, one lighting designer, one sound designer, six techies, one costume designer, one production manager, and a few others thrown in for good measure. Despite the crowded spaces, Langley actress Holly Zonneveld loves the experience. “It’s full, and hectic, and crowded, and exciting,” she said.
Langley’s Holly Zonneveld (far right) is one of the Lone Star Ladies in the Surrey Little Theatre production of Funny Little Thing Called Love. Turns out, Zonneveld likes things hectic almost as much as she likes being on stage. “I just love being on stage,” she said. “The audition for this play happened while I was still on stage with Calendar Girls.”
That meant for a few weeks the actress was performing in the live shows of Surrey Little Theatre’s previous production [Calendar Girls] while rehearsing for the current show [Funny Little Thing
Called Love]. It made for long days that turned into long nights, but she felt the tug of this script. “Just how interesting this script is and the ability to play multiple characters,” she said of why she wanted to audition. “I knew it was going to be interesting to find the differences in my characters.” A Langley resident all her life, Zonneveld is excited to be part of the production close to home. “It’s a lot of fun, it’s a really strong cast,” she said. “It’s important because many of the directors are new.” Funny Little Thing Called Love runs at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday with three 2 p.m. Sunday matinées Feb. 7, 14, and 21.

Recital prepares young pianist Julie Wu has played Carnegie Hall and will now play Langley’s Rose Gellert Hall. RONDA PAYNE news@langleyadvance.com
Not many musicians can claim to have played world-renowned Carnegie Hall in New York. Fewer can say they’ve played the hall twice. Those who have played the famed location twice when they were pre-teens? That minuscule number would include pianist Julie Wu. Julie, at just 12 years old is
already familiar with the stage, and will be performing a free recital at Rose Gellert Hall on Jan. 23 at 2 p.m. Having begun her piano career at age five, Julie quickly grew to participating in numerous competitions. Her mom, Anna Dai, noted Julie is playing the recital in preparation for another competition. She will be heading to Salt Lake City in early February for the Gina Bachauer International Junior Piano Competition. Julie’s recital will include works by Chopin, Bach, Debussy, and Beethoven according to Langley Community Music School (LCMS) principal, Susan Magnusson.
“Julie Wu is an exceptional young talent, and I encourage the community to take the opportunity to hear her play,” Magnusson said. “It will be an exciting program.” Not only has Julie competed and won in competitions locally and in North America, but she has also won internationally, her mother noted. “Julie was a gold medal winner at the 2015 Chinese Golden Bell music competition National Finals in China,” Dai said. A student of LCMS, Julie will also be performing in mid-February at Rose Gellert Hall with other young pianists at the LCMS annual scholarships and awards festival.
Young Julie Wu, who won a music competition in China, will play Rose Gellert Hall on Saturday, Jan. 23.

VOLUNTEERING
Selfless acts deserving of recognition RONDA PAYNE editorial@langleyadvance.com
Rotary Club of Langley Central has put the call out for women who selflessly give of their time and talents. A luncheon celebration of International Women’s Day will be held at Newlands Golf and Country Club on March 5, said organizer Stew McIvor. This annual event will honour three local women who volunteer to improve the lives of those less fortunate with the 2016 Women of Distinction awards. “These are the unsung heroes of Langley,” said McIvor. “People that do wonderful things in the community.” Those who know a woman who volunteers to make the lives of others better can submit a nomination to the Rotary committee. To be considered, these women: are unpaid volunteers, live in Langley, have been in their volunteer position for a minimum of two years, and show a drive to make things better while being personally involved in the community. Tickets for the event are $45 and the keynote speaker will be news anchor Tamara Taggart, noted McIvor. For more information, visit www.internationalwomensday. ca or contact McIvor at arbutusdesign@shaw.ca or at 604-8284023. Deadline for nominations is Jan. 31.

S
ince he started working at the Fort Langley National Historic Site as a history interpreter this past June, Jonathan Fortier has taken part in a few of the fort’s events, including its annual Brigade Days in August. But this weekend’s Vive Les Voyageurs French-Canadian festival at the FLNHS is right in his wheelhouse. That’s because the 28-year-old Fortier is a French-Canadian, originally from Gatineau, Quebec. “When I found out they had a voyageur program, it was something that I really wanted to get into,” said Fortier, who graduated from the University of the Fraser Valley with a degree in history and an extended minor in French. “A lot of the interpreters here do speak French, as well.” ive Les Voyageurs – the FLNHS’s annual winter festival – is this Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. The festival celebrates the unique folklore and culture of the voyageurs and fur traders who lived in 19th-century Fort Langley. Both days, visitors can learn a Métis dance, try their hand at spoons and jigging, attend a French 101 lesson, join a fur trade wedding, and fill up on maple taffy and poutine while listening to live Voyageur-style music by Rejean, Chic Soiree. Historical presentations will also be ongoing for the duration of both days. Regular admission fees apply ($7.80 per adult) but admission is free for annual pass holders.

Sites Sought for Langley Ecological Services Initiative In partnership with the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (LSAF) and the Ecological Services Initiative, the Township of Langley is conducting a three-year pilot project called the Langley Ecological Services Initiative (Langley ESI). Langley ESI is a Payment for Ecological Services (PES) program that pays farmers to maintain and enhance areas of environmental and ecological significance. It is a farmer-led initiative designed to demonstrate, analyze, and communicate the PES concept, encourage farmers to adopt Beneficial Management Practices, and make the case for establishing a long-term program in the Township. A minimum of ten sites will be established for the Langley ESI. The pilot project sites must: • be located along the main stem of Bertrand Creek, downstream from 264 Street at 24 Avenue • be a bona fide farm, as defined by the BC Assessment Authority • have ecological values (such as woodlots and wetlands), biodiversity values, fishery habitat values, riparian habitat values, and/or presence of federally-listed species-at-risk. LSAF is managing the Langley ESI on behalf of the Township. It will strike a site selection committee composed of farmers, Environmental Farm Plan advisors, and representatives from the BC Ministry of Agriculture, BC Ministry of Environment, and Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society. The amount of payment to farmers is dependent on the final number of participants in the pilot project, which will start in the spring of 2016 and conclude in the summer of 2018. Farmers are invited to apply directly to the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation on or before February 5, 2016, by providing the following information: • Civic address of the property in Langley • Name(s) of the Registered Owner(s) • Name(s) of the tenant(s), if applicable • Contact information such as phone number(s) • A brief description of the type of agricultural activity on site by stating animal units and total land area dedicated to farming (to determine “farm status”) Example 1: mixed farming with 100 cows and 1,500 laying chickens on 50 acres. Example 2: 10,000 square metres of greenhouse plus 10 acres for hay. • Other relevant information (number of years farming at the site, number of people employed in the business, etc.) Please send applications to: Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation 19915 – 37A Avenue Langley, BC V3A 2S8 Or email: info@langleysaf.ca.

FUNDRAISER
Bargains abound at Langley Lodge book sale Proceeds from the senior care facility’s sale this Saturday go to programs for residents. TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com
Helping put together book sales at Langley Lodge is Carole MacDougall’s way of giving back to the seniors care facility. For the past two years, MacDougall – a member of the Langley Care Society’s auxiliary since September 2013 – has
been a key volunteer for the book sales that Langley Lodge hosts every two to three months, from September to June. The next sale, open to the public, is this Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Langley Lodge, 5451 204th St. Proceeds go towards recreation programs that bene-
fit Langley Lodge residents including MacDougall’s 92-yearold dad, Arthur Jary, who has lived there for the past six years. Putting together the sale is her way of saying thanks for the quality care Langley Lodge provides to her father “to make his final years happy and comfortable,” MacDougall said. “The care is excellent,” MacDougall said. “My sister [Janet Bushell] and I are so happy with how he’s cared for. He’s happy
and well cared for, and physically, he’s doing really well. That’s why I volunteer – it’s my way of paying back for what they’re doing to help him.” The book sale along with the other eventssuch as the New 2U Boutique clothing Sale, the New 2U Household Sale, and the occasional jewellery sale help generate funds to “enhance the quality of life for the residents of Langley Lodge,” MacDougall said.
Jean Chisholm read a gardening book at Langley Lodge on Monday. There will be lots of bargain books for sale at Langley Lodge this Saturday during its book sale. Troy Landreville Langley Advance

Persistence is the reason the Langley Rivermen pocketed an overtime point Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. Hosting a strong Nanaimo Clippers team that sits on top of the B.C. Hockey League’s Island Division with a 29-15-1 record, the Rivermen erased deficits of 2-0 and 3-2 to send the game into overtime. However, Nanaimo defenceman Yanni Kaldis – who leads all BCHL blueliners in both assists and points – scored the OT winner two minutes into the first extra period. While he would have liked to have had the two points, Rivermen head coach Bobby Henderson said he was happy with his team’s effort against a “veteran” Nanaimo team. “That was a key area of our game that we needed to improve on, was our play when we got behind in key situations and I think we took a step,” Henderson said. The Rivermen found themselves down 2-0 after the Clippers’ Charley Borek scored his team’s second of the night 1:33 into the second period. Cue the mini-comeback: goals by Max More photos Kaufman search and Matty Saharchuk got ‘Rivermen’ the home team right back into it. The Clippers then restored their lead when Matthew Hoover notched his 29th of the campaign with 1:41 to go in the middle frame. The Rivermen didn’t quit, however, with Adam Sinclair tying the game at three 2:52 into the third period to close out the scoring in regulation time. The Clippers outshot the Rivermen 32-26, with Langley netminder Bo Didur and his counterpart, Nanaimo’s puckstopper Evan Johnson both

Henderson said comparing the Rivermen’s play from last weekend to the weekend before is “like night and day.” “It was good to see the team play up to its capabilities this weekend,” he said. Rivermen 5, Coquitlam Express 3 The Rivermen won Friday’s game at Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports & Leisure Centre in the third period. Down 3-2 just past the seven minute mark of the period, the Rivermen tallied a trio of unanswered goals to pull away. During that stretch, Torrin White (with his 13th and 14th of the season) sandwiched goals between Kaufman’s winner at the 8:19 mark of the third, which put Langley ahead 4-3. Justin Fregona and Will Campion scored in the opening frame for the Rivermen, who led 2-1 after the first period and entered the second intermission tied 2-2 with the Express.

BIRD COUNT
Numbers take flight Jan. 3 was a great day for Langley bird enthusiasts. On the first Sunday of the year, 25 Langley Field Naturalist and their friends took part in the Surrey/ White Rock/Langley Christmas Bird Count. This area is one of many counts held in the annual Audubon Christmas Bird Count that has taken place throughout North America every year since 1900. The local group hit the road at 8 a.m., and organized into five teams to cover the Langley section of their count circle. The day was very chilly with a temperature of -6ºC, with foggy conditions in the morning foggy and hoarfrost covering the trees. “Throughout the day we marvelled at the patterns made by the ice crystals on spider webs and the spectacular views of the frosty trees against the blue sky,” related Kathy Masse with the
Cold weather didn’t deter bird enthusiasts, including Langley Field Naturalists member Al Grass, from taking part in the Surrey/ White Rock/ Langley Christmas Bird Count on Jan. 3. Bob Puls photo
local field naturalists. Among them, the group walked 54 km and drove 178.7 km to complete their count by 4 p.m. Despite the weather, Masse said they were “pleasantly surprised” to see the total number of birds increase from last year’s 6,705 to 7,934 this year and the species count increase from 67 to 68. These include numbers sent in by
the Langley Field Naturalists’ three official backyard feeder watchers. The Christmas Bird Count is an annual citizen science project for the Langley Field Naturalists that, Masse said, “not only increases knowledge of our resident winter birds but also notes changes in their populations.” > More: langleyadvance.com, search ‘Bird Count’
