Happy New Year!
Meet the first new arrival of 2011 What’s online

The first baby born in Langley this year is a healthy little girl named Isabella.
Tuft joins new team
Sure the last few months were kind of crazy and stressful, but things have worked out rather nicely for Langley cyclist Svein Tuft. After two seasons riding in Europe with the GarminTransitions team, the 2008 Canadian Olympian has made his own transition... back to home turf. Tuft has signed on with Ontario-based Team SpiderTech, an ambitious pro squad that’s run by Canadian cycling legend Steve Bauer. • More online

Langley Fundamental Middle Secondary School grads took top marks for their fundraising fashion show Dec. 13. Last year was the first year the school held the event which proved so successful that students destined to graduate this year wanted to do one. This will become an annual tradition with Grade 11 students being invited at the close of this year’s show to be part of the 2011 event. • More online

When Tiffany Ferguson told husband Matt Sitter that the baby was coming this New Year’s Eve, he almost didn’t believe her. Ferguson joked that it took some convincing to get him into the car for the drive from the couple’s Abbotsford home to Langley Memorial Hospital. That was at 9:30 p.m. By just after midnight, they had welcomed the newest addition to their family. Isabella Sitter came into the world at 12:09 a.m., weighing eight pounds, 15 ounces. She was the first baby born in 2011 in Langley. “I told everyone it was going to be the first, because I wanted it to have a cool birthday,” Ferguson said. Isabella’s birthday can be written as 1/1/11, which Ferguson said will make up for her having a birthday so close to Christmas as she grows up. While Ferguson has been joking about having a New Year’s baby almost since she learned she was pregnant, she never really expected to give birth so close to midnight, she said. The family will now scramble to get everything ready at home for Isabella. Between work and the hustle and bustle of Christmas with
Matt Sitter holds his daughter Isabella, along with proud mom Tiffany Ferguson and big brother Tysen. their first child, 18-month-old Tysen, the couple admitted they’re a bit behind on preparations for the new arrival. They still have to pick a middle name for Isabella, among other things. Their rush will be slightly compensated for by a large
gift basket from the Langley Welcome Wagon, which arrived on New Year’s morning to greet the first baby of the year. So far, Isabella has been a very quiet baby. For the first dozen hours of her life, she didn’t even cry. “She just wants to sleep and

eat,” Ferguson said of her snoozing daughter. According to Fraser Health, the first baby in B.C. was born in Vancouver at 12:01 a.m. The first baby in the region was born in Surrey at 12:08, just a minute before Isabella in Langley.
Crime
Carjackings in Langley, Richmond linked Two missing cars may give clues to a string of carjackings in two Lower Mainland cities. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com
A carjacking in Langley may be linked to a series of vehicle thefts in Richmond and a hit and run collision in Surrey, police say. A Langley man had his Buick Rendezvous SUV stolen from him at gunpoint on the morning of Dec. 23, Langley RCMP say. The victim pulled up to his workplace in
the 20100 block of 102nd Avenue in the Port Kells area at about 5:40 a.m., when a man approached him with what looked like a gun. The gunman demanded the car’s keys, said Sgt. Ravi Pawar of the Langley RCMP. The SUV was spotted not long after that in Surrey, at 96th Avenue and Fraser Highway, where it rear-ended another vehicle, then sped off. The vehicle has not yet been found. Neither the owner of the SUV during the robbery nor the person hit in the collision were hurt. Richmond RCMP are working on the case with Langley Mounties, after three carjackings in Richmond on Dec. 16, 21, and 27.
Police are currently looking for the first vehicle stolen in Richmond, a white fourdoor 2009 Honda Accord with a B.C. licence plate number 983 TJD. “It’s a possibility the white 2009 Honda Accord was involved in a few of these incidents which is why we want to advise the public,” said Richmond Const. Tammy-Lyn Walker. Investigators are also seeking the 2007 Rendezvous, license plate number 347 KNE, Pawar said. Anyone with information is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477, or visit CrimeStoppers online through Facebook.

Yahoos in a truck caused massive damage to the Western Turf Farm in Glen Valley on Christmas Eve. by Matthew Claxton

The owners of the Western Turf Farms in Glen Valley are offering a reward to catch the vandals who caused $50,000 in damage to their land on Christmas Eve. Ron Rindt was called by neighbours of the property in north east Langley who noticed the damage.

Torchbearer en route to London
An Aldergrove woman qualifies for the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England. by Heather Colpitts
hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
Aldergrove equestrian Hawley Bennett-Awad has earned a spot competing in the 2012 Olympics in London. “It’s still just a little overwhelming,” she told the Langley Advance when it became official in the fall.
The 33-year-old was part of a fourperson team that won silver in eventing, a sport that includes three tests (dressage riding, cross-country jumping, and show jumping), at the World Equestrian Games in Lexington, KY. Canada was not expected to do well. The team members themselves were just hoping to get at least fifth place. Bennett-Awad and teammates came second after Great Britain, but ahead of New Zealand. The finish also qualifies Canada’s
team for the Canadian Eventing competition for 2012. Bennett-Awad has had an Olympic dream since childhood, when she entered a Langley contest to be a torchbearer for the 1988 Olympics, held in Calgary. At the 2010 Winter Olympics, she carried the torch in Richmond. She competed in the 2004 Summer Games in Athens, calling it a “learning experience.” “It was one of the best experiences of my life,” Bennett-Awad said.

Together online As we enter a brand new year, we’ve just exited the closing week of the old year – a week that has traditionally been one in which families get together for the holidays. These days, however, there’s a good bet that many of the gatherings were virtual rather than real. And the smart money will be on smart phones taking an even bigger role in family and friendly togetherness by the time the year we’re starting this week turns into next year’s “old year.” There are few spheres left that the digital world hasn’t touched. A holiday without iPhones, Blackberries, Facebook, YouTube, and app downloads has become almost as unthinkable as a festive dinner without turkey and cranberries. According to recent trend spotters, Canadians spend more time online than people in any other country. Almost 70 per cent of Canadians are online, and more than 50 per cent are now on Facebook. Canada is also the only country where users logged an average of more than 2,500 minutes online a month. That’s about 42 hours. Give yourself eight hours of shut-eye, and your online stretch comes to nearly 10 per cent of your waking hours. That’s a lot of time spent hunched over computer and telephone screens. To be sure, we’ve benefited in many ways from being wired. The Internet can be a profoundly democratizing force, as examples like WikiLeaks and uploaded cellphone videos have proved. Social networking and Skype have allowed geographically distant families and friends to stay connected. But the Internet also has a dark side. Evil and stupidity also spread with alacrity online. The Internet can eat up vast amounts of time. At its worst, our presence online detracts from being present in our real lives. The Internet is here to stay. But it brings with it lasting social changes. In our rush to the information highway, it’s worth a backward glance at what we’re giving up, as well as what we’re gaining.

Charity
Disgusted by food waste I just read the article “Pie toss aids cancer fight” [Dec. 21, Langley Advance]. This is for charity? Why do we have to toss food? Are those real pies? Is it just whipped cream? What are they tossing in somebody’s face? At the same time we are collecting food for the needy (some generous volunteers make lunches and distribute them to the homeless people on the streets), why do we “toss food”? I find it disgusting on many levels. Food is essential for survival, no matter in what shape or form. I cannot help but recall a memory from 1945, just at the end of the war in Germany. My young brother and I – we were 13 and 15 at the time – had lined up for four hours to receive our weekly ration of bread. We finally carried home the one loaf.
On the way home, a couple of occupation army officers stopped us on the street, demanding the bread. We handed it over. The two soldiers started tossing the bread up into the air, then kicking it as a football, until it was in shreds. They laughed and walked away. We immediately picked up the shreds, took them home to Mom and baby sister, and we ate it all. Coming back to the pies: is it really edible food? What would somebody on the street give for a plate-full of that stuff? Think about it. Maybe you could put soap suds into pie plates, toss it, and watch the reaction. And that would be a sacrifice on the part of the “celebrities”! What a waste and disgrace to squander food. This is just my reaction as a now-wellfed senior with memories that won’t fade.

Transportation
Six-foot overpass wall insufficient Dear Editor,
Leo and Helen Short are among many Langley citizens who are concerned about the proposed location of a fourlane roadway as part of a 196th Street overpass project. I was one of many who attended an open house about the proposal [Overpasses panned by neighbours, Dec. 17, Langley Advance], and was disturbed by what I saw and heard. The roadway will affect our homes, both structurally and financially. My investment will not see a return at all; instead, all I see in front of me is noise, pollution, and destruction. The project involves a six-foot wall that will protect us from the noise disturbance – but six feet will not diminish the noise on the second level of a home.
TODAY’S FLYERS... in the Call 604-856-7733 for delivery info.
Opening our windows in the summer to wake to the birds singing will be met instead with the rumble of trucks going by our window. Langley City has not kept its promise and has not protected the residents most affected by the project. There are many alternatives that would make more sense, but as the engineers at the open house said, those alternatives are too expensive. I’d rather the money that Langley is generously donating be given to a more expensive route, than one that will affect the quality of my life and that of so many others. When do we stop to consider the long term effects?

Members of the Mufford family, who have farmed the Milner area for generations, were happy with the ALC’s decision to block the overpass.

Langley Advance to keep up with Langley’s top headlines
The Mufford-Glover overpass, a controversial plan to build a major new road through Milner, was stopped by the ALC in 2010. Maybe. In late October, the Agricultural Land Commission finally released a decision that had been awaited for more than a year. The ALC decided not to allow the controversial, $51 million overpass project to be punched through 29 acres of farmland and marsh. The overpass was intended to allow traffic to get around and over the railway that runs through downtown Langley and parallel to Glover Road. As planned, the overpass would have crossed both the rail lines and Glover Road from 64th Avenue, then wound to rejoin 64th near 216th Street. With numerous partners, including the railway firms, the province, the federal government, and Langley Township all on board, the project was announced with great fanfare in 2007. By the beginning of 2010, however, it had ground to a halt. Milner residents, including a significant number of farmers, were opposed to the new roads and overpass.

Transit advocates had spent more than a year questioning the route and suggesting alternatives. Township council had given its approval, but with the council split six to three. With every other agency having made its decision, it was up to the ALC, which repeatedly delayed making a choice. It was originally to have given its thumbs up or down in 2009, then announced it would decide by February or March. The date was moved back to the summer, then after public hearings, to October. Finally, the ALC decided that the value of farmland outweighed that of a new overpass. A letter from Richard Bullock, chair of the ALC, said: “...the commission found that the proposal, in

its entirety, would negatively impact the agricultural capability and sustainability of lands within the Agricultural Land Reserve.” Opponents of the overpass rejoiced at the decision. However, the ALC did not rule out an overpass completely. With the year ending, it’s unclear what will happen. The Township and province are talking about moving forward with a new plan, but it remains unknown if that will be a modification to the existing design, or if it will mean an entirely new design in a new location. Most of the other suggestions made previously have been rejected, either because they would go through Langley City land, through wetlands, or because they would use up even more farmland.

Harsh lesson learned
Financial woes dominated every Langley School Board decision. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com
The Langley School District faced its toughest year ever as it tried to get a handle on its $13.5 million shortfall. When 2010 started, the district was waiting to hear from the provincial government about how long it would have to clear up its $8.2 million deficit and debt. The Langley Teachers Association said in the new year that the shortfall was actually closer to $10 million but the district maintained that it was $8.2 million and announced it was hiring the auditor general’s office, a branch of the provincial government, to go over its books. In February, trustees voted to turn down the 6.8 per cent automatic pay increase that is part of district policy. In late February the district announced it was in the hole $13.5 million and Education Minister Margaret McDiarmid told the Langley Advance that her ministry was monitoring Langley but would not step in despite the financial problems. In March, local school unions held the Dialogue on Debt to allow the public to suggest ways to resolve the district’s financial problems. The trustees voted to close County Line Elementary at the end of June but spared Glenwood Elementary. Trustees were divided over closing two of the district’s smallest schools and how much money the closures would actually save the district. The move was one of the first austerity measures coming for local education as the district makes cuts over four years to get its books back in the black. The district also announced it would restructure and take back some of the decision-mak-

In the spring, the Education Ministry released a report comparing Langley to other school districts and found it had about 50 too many staff members by comparison. During 2010, the district reduced staff numbers and hours. The start of the school year in September brought a commitment by the board to follow the recommendations of the auditor general’s report. The district had hired the provincial government’s audit branch to look over the district’s books. Failures of planning, financial controls, and the board’s own inability to work together or with staff are at the root of Langley School District’s financial problems. “We have made a number of recommendations to the board, the most important one being the trustees must find ways to work together effectively,” provincial Auditor General John Doyle wrote.

Year In Review
Mustangs’ B.C. title tops 2010 sports stories
The final month of 2010 marked a provincial championship and the end of a perfect season for the Langley Mustangs bantam football team. The Mustangs’ drive for perfection was capped Dec. 5 at McLeod Athletic Park, with a 57-1 thrashing of the Valley Community Football League champion Chilliwack Giants. The win meant the Mustangs finished the season undefeated and won the B.C. bantam football provincial championship. According to the BCCFA website, this is Langley’s first bantam provincial title. As with most of their games this season, the Mustangs used a total team effort to take control of the game early on, built up an insurmountable lead, and then cruised to victory. However, unlike most of its games where Langley would methodically wear down its opponents with punishing offensive and defensive attacks, the final game saw an explosiveness to the Mustangs’ play on all facets of the game. With the offensive line winning the battle of the trenches, and strong downfield blocking by the Mustangs’ wide receiver corps, Langley was able to rack up 426 total yards rushing on the way to the lopsided win.
The Mustangs raised their helmets into the night sky after winning the B.C. bantam football provincial championship. Joe Butorac/ Joe Butorac Photographic Design
After the Langley defence stopped Chilliwack on its opening drive, the offensive fireworks began. Running back Reagan Doucette found an opening in the Giants’ defence opened by offensive linemen Scott Miller and Tristan Lawrie, and raced 82 yards for the opening touchdown of the game. The Mustangs increased their lead to 14-0 when Doucette scored for the second time in the quarter, this time on a twoyard plunge. A 20-yard field goal by Cory McMurchy with time ticking down in the first quarter increased the Mustangs’ lead to 17-0. A single point off a missed Giants’ field goal put Chilliwack on the board at 171, but that was the only time that the Giants were able to light the scoreboard all game. McMurchy opened the scoring in the second quarter when he called his own number and followed the open field blocking of wide out Dallas Korfman to run 14 yards, as Langley increased its lead to 24-1. A 51-yard punt return by Jeremy McLean set up Langley’s fourth touchdown of the game. McLean’s run was followed by a 31-yard scamper by Joe Carter, who sprinted through a huge hole opened up by offensive lineman Dylan Twells and Dalton Dietrich before outrunning the Giants’ defenders.
With time ticking down in the first half, Chilliwack tried one more time to throw some points up on the board, this time with a long 41-yard field goal. However, the field goal went wide, and McMurchy caught the ball five-yards deep in his end zone. He was able to find a seam in the Giants’ coverage before sprinting his way down the sidelines 114 yards, only to be tackled on the Chilliwack one-yard line. Eric Brown then converted on a one-yard run as the Mustangs carried a 371 lead into the half time break. The third quarter saw Langley’s impressive offence output continue. The Mustangs increased their lead to 44-1 with a three yard touchdown run by Matt Bilmer, made possible by a key block by wide receiver Ben Ferguson. The Giants then looked like they were going to be able to break into the end zone, but came up short when linebacker Ryan Pinter tackled the Chilliwack quarterback on the Mustangs’ five-yard line, two yards short of the first down. Carter then scored his second major of the game as he took the hand off from Steven Legare going right, cut back across the grain, followed key blocks by centre Haydn Coss, offensive linemen Chad Melan and Clayton Frolich, and wide out Austyn Riendeau, and sprinted 100 yards for a touchdown, giving Langley a 51-1 lead at the end of the third quarter. Doucette scored the final touchdown of the game, this time on a three-yard dive, converting a 63-yard interception return by McLean in the dying minutes of the contest. The Langley defence was impressive throughout, with 20 different defenders recording tackles during the contest. Led by Justin Brown, Bilmer, and McLean, who each recorded six tackles, the Mustangs made life miserable for the Chilliwack offence.

Justin Brown, who played safety, defensive back, and slotback for the Langley Mustangs this season, focused on a loose ball during the Mustangs’ 57-1 thrashing of the Chilliwack Giants Dec. 5 at McLeod Athletic Park. The victory gave the Mustangs the B.C. bantam football championship. The defensive line, fronted by Jake Kulak, Scott Tolnay, Mark Melan, Brayden Norcliffe, Chris Schwartz, Jason Geisbrecht, Seth Lavigne, and Jacob Cook manhandled the Chilliwack line, breaking through for a number of backfield blocks, and Cook knocked down a Chilliwack pass at the line of scrimmage. Even when Chilliwack was able to get past the first line of defence, linebackers Calixto Martinez and Nick Kravetz, along with halfbacks Cameron Kaulback, Tyler Pauls, and Arie
Osterby were consistently there to snuff out any runs. Defensive backs Jesse Trousil, Jesse Nepstad-Miller, Cole Isaacson, and Ryan Porteous kept Chilliwack’s passing game in check, and also made a number of tackles during the game. Doucette was awarded with Langley’s game MVP by the British Columbia Community Football Association, while McMurchy was awarded the game ball by head coach Cliff Freeman for his strong play during the championship game.

Kings crowned by Chiefs by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com
So far, 2011 has been a great year for the Langley Chiefs. The Chiefs kicked off the new year by beating the top team in the British Columbia Hockey League. A 4-2 win over the Powell River Kings Sunday at the Langley Events Centre allowed the Chiefs to leapfrog over the Surrey Eagles into second place in the BCHL’s Coastal Conference. The loss was just sixth in regulation time in 40 games for the Kings, as they dropped to a still-impressive 29-6-3-2. With a league-best 63 points, they continue to lead the Coastal Conference by a comfortable, 11-point margin. The Chiefs improved to 23-14-1-5, and hold a one-point edge over their Lower Mainland rival Eagles in the battle for second spot in the conference. Sunday at the LEC, the Chiefs and Kings were locked in a 1-1 tie after two periods.
Despite being outshot 11-8 in the third period, the Chiefs took control by scoring three unanswered goals to grab a 4-1 lead. The Kings scored with 1:02 to play in regulation to narrow the deficit to 4-2, but that was as close as they could come. Langley’s Kody Dhaliwal scored the eventual game winner and assisted on Josh Hansen’s goal to earn first star of the game honours. Josh Myers scored Langley’s other third period goal, with a shorthanded marker at the 8:11 mark of the frame. Chiefs defencemen Tim Daly opened the game’s scoring with a powerplay maker in the first period. The Kings tied the score at 1-1 with a powerplay goal of their own 7:32 into the second period. ••• The Chiefs play the Vipers in Vernon Thursday, Silverbacks in Salmon Arm Friday, and Smokeaters in Trail Saturday.

…continued from page A15 “Our emphasis is on players having fun, playing the game to the best of their ability and building positive relationships with their fellow players and coaches,” said LGIHA executive member John Graham. “Handing out the medals and seeing the joy in the younger kids’ eyes makes it all worthwhile.”
Division winners were as follows: • Atom – Surrey • Peewee rep – Surrey • Peewee B – Tri Cities • Bantam rep – Prince George • Bantam B – Chilliwack • Midget rep – Kamloops • Midget B – Tri Cities • Midget B – Surrey • Juvenile – Surrey There were no official
winners in the tyke divisions. Graham thanked all the volunteers, and made a special mention towards Darren and Barb Woods, tournament coordinator and president, respectively. “They spent countless hours organizing the tournament, scheduling ice times and volunteers,” Graham said.
