The Langley pot bylaw will now be considered by the provincial Minister of Agriculture. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

There was a lot of smoke but no fire as Langley Township council debated a bylaw to control medical marijuana farming Monday night. The council would ultimately vote unanimously in favour of a bylaw that would restrict growing medical pot to industrial areas only. To get to that unanimous vote, they embarked on a wide-ranging discussion about industrial versus agricultural growing, and about the tight timelines for any new rules. The federal regulations will change on April 1, 2014. For years, medical pot has been grow in small lots, by either its users or people with permits to sell to a small handful of registered users. The system of small grow-ops, which has been a headache for police and a target for criminals, is being phased out in favour of a private enterprise system. Larger-scale private firms will be allowed to grow and compete for customers. Seven companies expressed interest in the new rules, said Mayor Jack Froese. Only one, longtime local firm Koch Greenhouses, came forward to speak at last week’s hearing. Koch wants to continue to grow medical pot at the company’s rural greenhouses, long used for orchids. The owners said that agricultural land is the right place for growing marijuana, not industrial sites. Councillor Bob Long noted that at least one “There’s not a lot of Langley’s neighbours, Maple Ridge, known about it.” is moving towards David Davis allowing pot only in agricultural regions. “They’ve actually gone in the opposite direction,” said Long. The measure hasn’t been discussed at the Township’s Agricultural Advisory Committee. “There’s not a lot known about it,” said Coun. David Davis. Most locals with an interest in medical marijuana didn’t hear about the issue until recently, Davis said. The next meeting of the ag committee is this Thursday, but several councillors argued that it might take too long to get input from the committee, and possibly change the bylaw and hold a new public hearing. Coun. Charlie Fox warned of a “tidal wave” coming on April 1 when the new regulations hit, and said citizens need action before that. “What do we think’s going to happen on April 1?” asked Davis. “Not a lot a lot’s going to happen April 1.” Froese noted that there are seven potential applicants for marijuana licences who will need an answer on local rules by that date. The answer may not come from the council, as the Ministry of Agriculture has the right to overrule the Township on this issue. Langley Township, along with Abbotsford, Kelowna, and Delta, are all under rules that allow the province to override any agriculture-related bylaws the council passes. All four communities are trying to put forward similar bylaws restricting pot to industrial areas, as is Pitt Meadows.

Ringing in the season

The youngest of the carolers who visited Simpson Manor long-term care home in Fort Langley on Tuesday night was two-year-old Elizabeth Porter, who joined her mom, Teresa. While Elizabeth didn’t sing, she lent some musical accompaniment by shaking bells. After a quick warm-up at the Fort Langley library, the carolers strolled south through downtown Fort Langley to their destination.

Oil

Pipeline approval fight starting up

A major pipeline change could be coming for Langley in the next few years. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Township was urged Monday to become an intervenor in the hearings over the twinning of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline. The pipeline, owned by Kinder Morgan, has transported oil from Alberta to a refinery in Burnaby for more than 50 years. On Monday, Kinder Morgan officially applied to increase the capacity from 300,000 barrels per day to 890,000, almost tripling the volume. The same day that Kinder Morgan filed is 15,000 page application, a coalition of businesspeople and academics warned the Township about possible economic costs of the pipeline. Liz McDowell, executive director of Conversations for Responsible Economic Development (CRED BC), spoke at Monday’s council meeting. She warned that the economic benefits advertised by Kinder Morgan may not be as high as projected, due to the fluctuating price of bitumen (the thick oil

There will be jobs created during the construction phase, but many of them will be workers who move with the pipeline as sections are built. The permanent jobs will be in Burnaby at the refinery, said McDowell. If there ever was a break in the pipeline, it could cause longterm damage to real estate values nearby, said McDowell. She said that oil and gas, and other natural resource industries, are declining as an overall share of B.C.’s GDP. Technology and digital firms now employ more people than forestry, mining, and the oil and gas industry in the province, said McDowell. The other reason to be wary of the pipeline is B.C.’s image, she said. “It’s trading away the ‘beautiful B.C.’ brand,” she said. She suggested becoming an intervenor in the process. The route of the pipeline in Langley is expected to change significantly from the current route, which goes through downtown Walnut Grove. The new route would veer to the north near Fort Langley, then track along the north edge of Walnut Grove closer to the Fraser River. Both the proposed and current pipeline routes cross Nathan Creek, West Creek, and the Salmon River.

Parking

Council ends ban on cars Residents of northern Willoughby are worried about parking. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Life without parking is difficult for new residents of Willoughby, said a group of homeowners from around 80th Avenue. Four residents from different developments came to Langley Township council Monday night to complain about the lack of visitor parking spaces on roads between 208th Street and 212th Street. “Unfortunately, it’s only getting worse,” said Levy Manuel, the first to speak. He has gathered signatures from 150 people in his Yorkson South development, and said things have become so bad that neighbours are getting into disputes – and sometimes calling the police – over people parking on the few available spaces in front of their homes. Until recently, there was more on-street parking in the area, several of the speakers told the council. While some of the buildings were still being developed, the widened areas of 80th Avenue and parts of other roads, such as 209th, were available for on-street parking. Now those roads are off limits, and there is aggressive enforcement of the rules by the Township, said Manuel. The change happened on 80th avenue in the summer of 2012, said Ashish Kapoor.

“A lot of us basically found out when they got parking tickets,” Kapoor said. He asked the Township to at least re-instate parking on some of the wider roads on evenings and weekends. The problems aren’t most keenly felt by the residents, who have between two to four parking spaces for their own homes, said the speakers. They do have problems when they are visited by friends or family, or tradespeople. Michael Coombes of the Pepperwood development noted that his neighbourhood has 157 units and 30 visitors spots, but they’re

always full. “We don’t have transit, people are coming and visiting in cars,” he said. TransLink says it has no plans to put transit into the area. “As you know, TransLink does not have resources for expansion of the transit network,” wrote Jeffy Busby, senior manager of project development, in an email to the Langley Advance. At the end of the meeting, the Township council voted to allow some on-street parking around the neighbourhood, with Township staff controlling for safety issues. They also asked staff to look into ongoing parking concerns.

Development

No go for Qualico by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A development project in northwest Yorkson was defeated at third reading Monday after Langley Township council wrangled about the placement of rowhomes. The four-to-four tie resulted in the failure of the third reading of a rezoning for a Qualico project to build 244 units on the north side of 82nd Avenue near 204th Street. At a public hearing last week, representatives of the Latter-day Saints temple on the south side of 82nd raised concerns about parking and the locations of rowhomes opposite their church. Some councillors felt that wouldn’t be a big issue, while others wanted to move the rowhouses farther east, replacing them with single family homes. Long said he couldn’t support the project as it was, and a group of councillors voted against the plan. While the third reading of the rezoning has failed, there is a chance it could be re-considered. Councillor Bev Dornan was not at Monday’s meeting and a new vote could be called for in January.

Report won’t stop fighting

Whatever the results revealed in today’s release of the National Energy Board (NEB) report on the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline proposal, don’t even begin to imagine that the issue will be settled one way or the other. Expect the debate, the argument, the anger, and the acrimony – especially the acrimony – to continue well into the new year (and probably a few new years beyond that). Those who put economy over the environment will applaud any NEB recommendations that lean towards approval of a project that has the potential to inject billions of dollars into Canada’s (and principally Alberta’s) economy. They will exult in the potential for job creation and the diversification of a substantial part of Canada’s energy export capacity beyond the United States and directly into Asia. They will not be swayed by public outrage or pronouncements by environmentalists, local governments, and First Nations that any progress on the pipeline, no matter what the NEB says, will be blocked. Those who put environment above economy will be vocally ecstatic over any NEB recommendations that support their concerns about pouring millions of gallons of liquefied bitumen through pipes spanning pristine rivers in remote valleys, into megatankers that will subsequently have to navigate some of the most difficult waters off B.C.’s generally treacherous coast. They will rejoice at the idea that Canada’s part in the climate-change equation will be reduced, and that global warming will have to be fueled by other nations’ economies instead. They will not be swayed by the near certainty that the federal government will step in and overrule a “negative” NEB report. Somewhere in between lie the vast majority – people who would welcome the economic activity, as long as the NEB can assure us that the oil can flow with minimal risk to our best natural assets. – B.G.

Council decides form and character

Dear Editor, Last week, Justice Groves explained why he quashed the Heritage Alteration Permit. By choosing a dictionary definition of “density,” rather than the actual density provision in the zoning bylaw, he concluded that there was a process error. Whether his order is upheld on appeal will be subject to more legal arguments. But the ruling is clear that neither the Fort Langley Official Community Plan nor the Fort Langley Building Facade Guidelines caused him to quash the permit. Of course not! The OCP supports and promotes new development in the village core. As a long-time resident who prefers to shop locally, the goals of the OCP work for me. The OCP seeks to protect our heritage character. It requires taller buildings (i.e. three storeys, not exactly skyscrapers) also to be designed in a heritage style. The judge prefers the rezoning process, but the result is the same: only council can decide form and character. The Coulter Berry builder hopefully can recover from the losses incurred by this foolish court action. Unfortunately, the word “heritage” will never have the same meaning in our village after this fiasco. Brenda Alberts, Fort Langley

Coulter Berry about sustainability

Dear Editor, What is sustainability? Our construction company was building Coulter Berry. Our offices have been in Fort Langley for years. Until recently, I was a director with the Fort Langley BIA. I was born in Langley, left, and returned here to raise my family. I take a long term view of development, and believe we have a responsibility to steward the resources we have been entrusted for future generations. For the price of a little air above a second floor, we could have created 10 residential units that take up exactly zero land, while leading the way in environmental stewardship and sustainability. We should be begging for more Coulter

I would challenge anyone to find a project anywhere that can match Coulter Berry: multi-use (retail, office, residential), environmental sustainability (LEED Gold), walkability (hide the cars underground), and community (residential in the core with aging, in-place suites). Let’s make Langley a thriving community that honours its history, and is designed to last for the future. That is sustainability. Kevin Spellman, Langley

Commerce founded Fort Langley

Dear Editor, I assume Ms. Blackhall is either so young that she has not learned B.C. history yet, or she is elderly and has forgotten B.C. history. Based on what I was taught in school, Fort Langley was settled as a trading post – a commercial centre. If Ms. Blackhall is suggesting that Fort Langley should no longer be that [Fort Langley about history, not commerce, Dec. 16 Letters, www.langleyadvance.com], then we need to shut down the town, move everyone out, and put volunteers in costumes to wander through the streets.

Policing

Intelligence centre cost missing piece of data

No one knows the costs to municipalities yet for the intelligence centre. by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Langley’s top cop remains opposed to a regional police force for the Lower Mainland but he likes the Real Time Intelligence Centre (RTIC) that’s coming this spring. The RTIC would bring together Lower Mainland police forces and other branches of government in one office. “There are certain areas

of policing that should be regionalized and should be integrated,” commented Langley Insp. Derek Cooke. The RTIC facility would be based out of the E Division Headquarters in Surrey and will have about 45 police and civilian staff. “We would like to get it going sometime this year,” RCMP E Division assistant commissioner Norm Lipinsky told the Langley Advance. The province announced in early 2013 that the centre would be operational in spring 2014 and that’s still the goal. The centre will not

work on traffic accidents or shoplifting. Lipinsky said the centre’s focus is serious crime, such as murder, serious assaults, sexual crimes, abductions, kidnapping, and missing persons. “We still have to work out all the details on the funding model,” Lipinsky said. The forecast is that the centre will cost $5.8 million annually. “We feel it’s a priority,” he said. At the Dec. 2 City council meeting, Councillor Gayle Martin asked about the funding. Cooke replied that there will be involve-

ment of the federal, provincial and municipal governments but didn’t have figures. “I can remember when IHIT [Integrated Homicide Investigation Team] came in and it wasn’t going to cost us anything,” Martin noted. Now the City costs are just over $1 million annually for all the integrated teams. He said the integration of databases increases solvability and helps solve cases faster, which saves resources. Lipinsky said investigations take longer because the databases of the Lower Mainland aren’t

linked. The centre brings together eight police agencies (including Vancouver, New Westminster, Delta, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Port Moody and Abbotsford) and the more than a dozen Lower Mainland RCMP detachments. There are talks with other law enforcement agencies such as Corrections, TransLink and Canada Border Services. The idea grew out of the Missing Women’s inquiry. Better intelligence coordination between police forces, jurisdictions and agencies was one of chair Wally Oppal’s recommendations. The inquiry concluded that better coordination and intelligence coordination would have led to the quicker identification of Robert Picton and saved lives. Cooke said a lot of police work right now involves going through the intelligence and in the Lower Mainland, can involve several different police forces or other branches of government. He noted that there are

about 19 different information databses in Lower Mainland police and government agencies. “It’s something I look forward to having as an officer,” Cooke said. Lipinsky said privacy and other issues have been examined and believes the information can be shared between member agencies. “It’s not a stumbling block for us,” he said, adding “We’ve worked out most of the privacy and disclosure issues.” This won’t be the first real-time intelligence centre. “There’s about 40 of these in the U.S. now,” Lipinsky said. Calgary has had a realtime centre since 2010 and more Canadian communities are in the process of creating them. “Now there’s interest across Canada in going to this model,” he said. Lipinsky said Calgary’s centre has handled more than 1,100 files that assisted front-line investigators. The B.C. centre has sent people to Calgary to learn how that operation was set up.

That way, Snow said, more donations can be accepted and kept safe until they can be delivered to the families. And of course, she could always use more donations and volunteers. Any companies willing to sponsor Kim’s Angels, or anyone wanting to make a donation of nonperishable food, furniture, diapers, baby food, or other items, email kimzangels@hotmail.com or call 604-838-6579. As well, anybody willing to help deliver furniture is welcome to contact Snow. “We are in need of people helping us move the furniture,” Snow said. “We have the truck; we just need the muscles. And if kids also need credits for volunteering, we can supply them with that because they are helping to serve the community.”

Families are referred to Kim’s Angels by organizations such as Best Babies, Southgate Church, the Salvation Army and Stepping Stone. “We all work as a team,” she explained. “They find them places to stay, we furnish and supply them with food, warm clothes, and diapers.” This Christmas, Snow and the Angels are putting together packages for 25 families, and she has seen the need first hand.

Santa Claus lives in Langley year round, in the guise of a petite woman with a very big heart. Kim Snow is the emotional and organizational leader of Kim’s Angels, a local charity group that supplies needy families with food, diapers, furniture, and basic necessities. And she’s fielding more requests than ever for help. “Demand is increasing, now we need to increase the supply,” she told the Langley Advance in the fall. This weekend (Saturday, Dec. 21 and Sunday, Dec. 22) Kim’s Angels are hosting a “Fill the Ambulance” charity drive in front of the Murrayville IGA, where donations of nonperishable food, diapers, gently used clothes and warm jackets for children and adults, fruit and vegetables, flour, and rice are being accepted. The event runs from 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days. Businesses in the community are lending their support. The Fox and Fiddle Pub and Raycor Electric will be dropping off donations this weekend, Snow said. To meet the growing need, Snow has received loads of support from volunteers and businesses in the community. In March she was

Timmy’s okayed A Tim Hortons is planned for Langley Mall by late 2014. by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The odd little plot of land at the corner of Douglas Crescent and 203rd Street will soon be a busy place after City council approved a Tim Horton. The 2,357 square foot restaurant is expected to open in the autumn of 2014. Councillor Rosemary Wallace was the only one who voted against it at the Dec. 16 council meeting because it has a drive thru. She said the City should be developing in ways that make it more walkable. “I think we should be moving away from that,” she said. Other councillors decided it was a good thing for the community, especially because of its location on a finger of land that has limited uses. “This is a really challenged site,” said Coun. Dave Hall, an opinion echoed by others on council. Coun. Teri James noted that the residents’ concerns, expressed at the public hearing earlier in the meeting did not fall on deaf ears.

“I’ll just say ditto,” Coun. Gayle Martin said about the other positive comments from other councillors. “I think it’s going to be a real improvement.” Residents from nearby condos spoke about concerns over increased traffic noise, light pollution and increased garbage. The restaurant will be a 24-hour operation and there were concerns about that encouraging drugs and prostitution. Residents pointed to the 24-hour 7-Eleven and social problems in that area. Tim Hortons representatives were at the meeting to explain the project. “This is certainly going to be one of Tim Hortons’ flagship stores in Western Canada,” said Alex Taylor, a designer consulting on the project. While the inside will look look like others in the chain, the exterior has been amended to match the Langley Mall which sits across the parking lot. Tim Hortons building designer Bryce Rance, who lives about two blocks from the proposed restaurant, noted that the design should help reduce crime and social issues. There’s glass windows on three sides, and the rear of the building, which faces the condos on 203rd Street, has no lighting but does have security cameras.

BC Hydro rates are set to jump 28 per cent over five years and no one is immune. The Langley School District has done the calculations and it’s going to cost an extra $106,000 next year for electricity. ••• Now that the Langley School District has cleared

up its $13.75 million deficit, one trustee wants the board to look at trustee pay. During the financial problems, the board froze trustee pay. Trustee Rod Ross received board support for his suggestion to have the district’s policy committee examine trustee indemnity and return with recommendations. “I just think we need to bring some clarity to this,” he said.

Foodies rejoice! Cora gets crackin’ in Langley The celebration of a new breakfast restaurant in Langley included a sizeable donation to the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation.

The cracking of several eggs into a bowl helped celebrate Tuesday morning’s grand opening of Cora restaurant’s Langley location. Guests and dignitaries lined up to crack the eggs, and deposit them shell and all, into a stainless steel mixing bowl to complete the official ceremony welcoming the sixth Cora restaurant in B.C., located at 20670 Langley Bypass. Famous for its all-day breakfast fare, Cora is the largest sit-down breakfast operation in Canada. Part of the event was a cheque presentation from the Cora Langley location to the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation. The donation came from a special “Friends and Family Day” at the eatery, held Dec. 15, in which all proceeds raised, including servers’ tips, went to the foundation, to the tune of $2,791.65 Among those taking part in grand opening were Cora Langley ownerfranchisees Darren and Anissa Harper, Cora director of Western Operations Martin Paskevich, Langley City Acting Mayor Ted Schaffer, Langley Township Councillor Grant Ward, LMH Foundation interim executive director Vivian Smith and vice chair Deanna Horn, and the restaurant chain’s founder, Cora Tsouflidou.

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

Instead of a traditional ribbon cutting, guests and dignitaries cracked eggs into a stainless steel mixing bowl on Tuesday to celebrate the grand opening of the Cora restaurant in Langley. Inset below – Cora restaurant made a donation of $2,791.65 to the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation, during the grand opening of the restaurant chain’s Langley location. “We’ve had, I think, everyone on our block within the last three days come out here [to the restaurant], so it’s really special for us,” Darren Harper said. Schaffer said Cora is backed by a history of “boundless entrepreneurial spirit dedicated to quality and a commitment to community.” The 66-year-old Tsouflidou was the extra special guest. She originated the concept in 1987 when, as a single mother of three in need of a career, she bought a small abandoned diner on Cote-Vertu Boulevard in Montreal’s StLaurent area. She focused solely on breakfasts: fresh fruit, cheese, omelettes, crepes, and french toast. Over the years, Tsouflidou has come up with more than 100 menu ideas, most of which bears the names of customers or family members who have inspired her.

The students at Langley Dance Academy – which was formerly located in the Happy Face mall at 86th Avenue and 200th Street – have probably been bustling about preparing for Christmas dance recitals.

Likewise, I expect Fitness Depot (formerly located on the Langley Bypass under the 203rd Street overpass) will undoubtedly see business pick up closer to Christmas Day and beyond, especially for all those who will be making fitness-based New Year’s resolutions. But these aren’t the only newbies in the neighbourhood. Just up the street, construction has finally finished and the doors have swung open on the new Golf Square Golf & Clubhouse. Now this new 7,000-plus space on Willowbrook Drive is cool. It’s a simulated golf course that allows people to golf some of the coolest golf courses around the globe without leaving the comfort of a climate-controlled building. And it just so happens Golf Square also serves food and beverages with its 3D virtual golf experience. How cool is that? Especially at this time a year, when weather can be less than ideal for golfing in the more traditional fashion. If you’ve checked it out already, let us know what you think. Email me at rhooper@langleyadvance. com. Now, speaking of New Year’s resolutions and eating healthier, it might please you to hear the following news of new restaurants that offer a healthier dietary option to traditional fast food outlets. Just up the street from the Langley Advance office, there is a building that looks like it’s being wrapped up for Christmas – and maybe it is. As mentioned in this column before, Browns Social House (www.brownsrestaurantgroup.com) is taking over the former Coza location (next to Chapters) on 200th Street and 62nd Avenue. But there has been some major construction underway transforming the relatively new building, and most recently a giant plastic wrap has enveloped the structure. I know I mentioned their expansion to include this location before, but I was remiss in mentioning that Browns won’t be taking over the entire space. Yet another sushi joint is opening up. Stay tuned for more on their opening date. In the meantime, Ta-Ke Sushi, a buffet sushi restaurant, has just opened up in recent days in the Willoughby Business Centre owned by Berezan Properties. • More online

Mitch Glowacki brought 10-month-old Radien for the fun and support the cause at the Basics for Babies campaign wrap-up Dec. 15. The Glowackis are from Sechelt and are visiting family here. (Lower left) Emily Walsh’s family came from Maple Ridge to enjoy the event. Laura Lansink, the Food Banks BC executive director, explained that the help for struggling families has long term implications for them and society. “Our B.C. food banks assist 94,000 people each month, and 29.5 per cent of these are children and babies,” Lansink noted.

For children, including those first two years of a baby’s life, nutritious food is essential to ensure healthy growth and development. She added that the high food value of formula and other baby foods make these very expensive for our food banks to pur-

chase, but they strive to ensure that no baby lacks the essentials necessary for the best chance of a healthy start in life. “The JRfm Basics for Babies is aimed specifically at this need and that is why the participating food banks count on it to help them help the babies in their community,” she said. Basics for Babies donations help food banks from North Vancouver through to Chilliwack. Sunday’s fundraiser featured performances by country music talent such as Dallas Smith, Aaron Pritchett, Madeline Merlo, Wes Mack, Bobby Wills and Chad Brownlee. There were also crafts, kids activities, a silent auction and merchandise sales.

Basics for Babies

Charity strikes chord in Lightning girls A team of girls hockey players gave Basics for Babies a big boost. by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

The Langley Lightning novice girls hockey team decided to take part in the JRfm Basics for Babies fundraising day, instead of having a team party. The charity effort was a big success, and one player, Camryn Williams (foreground, wearing goaltender pads) and her family collected more than $900 in donations for the cause.

Camryn Williams and the Langley Lightning novice girls hockey team have scored big in their efforts to help a local charity. The seven- and eightyear-old girls decided, in lieu of a team Christmas party, to take part in the JRfm Basics for Babies charity drive.

Seven-year-old Camryn was especially motivated, and by collecting from family and friends through word of mouth, emails, and social media, gathered $900 in donations including 15 boxes of diapers and eight cans of formula. “I’m doing it for people that need stuff for their babies, and they don’t have any money,” Camryn said. Team manager Carly Leakey said the players worked hard. “We as parents are super proud of them for wanting to participate in something beyond just what they

want for Christmas,” she said. “This is a special group of young girls.” The efforts of Camryn in particular, Leakey noted, “has blown us away with the amount of work, time, and heart she has put in.” “She has asked everyone she can imagine and has put her whole heart into this,” Leakey said. “She is so kind, warm, and just a lovely little girl. We are all lucky to have her around and on our team, that’s for sure.” Camryn’s dad Shea said his daughter was “extremely” enthusiastic.

“She’s big on helping,” Shea said. “She’s just a kind heart. That’s it.” Her mom Johanna explained to Camryn what Basics for Babies was about, and how the charity effort would help the organization. “She just went from it from there,” Johanna said. The drive, which raised just under $3,000, was a team effort, Leakey said. “They’re awesome,” she said. “All of the girls were really excited about it, they took the [project] to their schools, asking their teachers and their friends.”

The annual Aldergrove Christmas Light Up Parade experienced a first on Saturday evening. This year marked the first time in the event’s 20-year history that a Langley City council has taken part. Led by Acting Mayor Ted Schaffer, the City Councillors were among the 36 entries that made their way along Fraser Highway in front of an estimated 2,000 onlookers. Arguably the most impressive entry belonged to Quiring Towing & Troy Landreville/Langley Advance Recovery, which Santa Claus, with Mrs. Claus, greeted parade-goers. decorated its truck and flatbed The weather deck with more was a big help. than 12,000 lights.

But there are Asian chrysanthemum species of which the leaves are used for salads. Leaves of the kind I grew were gently pungent. Older shoots produced pretty yellow flowers. Those gorgeous Christmas azaleas have very poisonous leaves, as do virtually all their relatives in the rhododendron family. Luckily, the leathery texture of the leaves doesn’t exactly invite experimenting. This is true of the pines and firs of Christmas, too. Theoretically, they may be toxic, because they do contain a strong turpentine-like substance in their sap, but even the most rash youngster isn’t likely to try what amounts to a mouthful of bristly spines. Anthurium leaves are

also great at defending themselves. They contain a fierce toxin which burns and irritates mouths enough to abort the first bite and discourage any second attempt. Unfortunately holly, ivy, and mistletoe, that triad of traditional decorations, are all very poisonous, though ivy is the least problematic, because it’s usually seen only in leaf form. But holly berries look appetizing, and do tend to drop off once the berried branches are brought in

With caution, holly and poinsettias have become some of the most common modes of bringing Christmas colour into the home… but beware: they carry with them varying levels of toxicity, too.

– and holly placed on a high shelf tends to drop berries on the floor. If eaten – by toddlers or pets – holly berries cause vomiting and diarrhea which is hard to stop. One or two berries only cause nausea, but large numbers can kill. Puppies are especially at risk, because holly berries contain large quantities of theobromine, the same substance that puts chocolate off-limits for dogs. Mistletoe is not easy to find, but if you come across a real-life branch, its leaves and berries are

as dangerous as holly. In ancient times, mistletoe was a sacred plant, and like many plants now known to be toxic, was believed to have medicinal uses. Then, as now, the size of the dose was pivotal in whether the patient was cured… or not. Also needing care and respect are the round, juicy-looking red berries adorning the Jerusalem cherry. The plant belongs to the same family as deadly nightshade, and its effects include vomiting, diarrhea, and heart problems. Another needing vigilance is the Christmas pepper. Its tiny but spectacular fruits contain high levels of capsicum that can blister skin.

ringing Christmas plants into homes with adventurous babies, puppies, or kittens is best done with a little knowledge, because some plants, even festive ones, have ferocious ways of resisting attack.

The Langley Advance took a trip to Nova Scotia this summer, the hometown guest of Lyle Phillips and his wife Donna, who flew to Montreal and then drove east to the Atlantic province.

United Way gives caregivers tips how to prepare a representation agreement, and • End-of-life issues and care. The handbook is published online at www. uwlm.ca and has been distributed to health authorities, community agencies, and caregiver support networks. Information for caregivers is also available at bc211, a free information and referral service funded by United Way. The booklet was made possible through a grant from United Way of the Lower Mainland to Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society (BSOSS). Gerontologist and elder caregiving consultant Katherine Willett is the writer and researcher. She started the project as a resource for Burnaby family caregivers and this summer expanded the directory to include information for caregivers across Metro Vancouver. The handbook will be updated annually.

In 2012, about 8.1 million individuals, or 28 per cent of Canadians aged 15 and older, provided care to a family member or friend with a long-term health condition, disability or aging needs. Ailing parents were the most common recipients of care with 39 per cent providing care to their own parents and nine per cent to their parentsin-law (Statistics Canada, Caregivers in Canada, 2012). United Way of the Lower Mainland supports seniors to stay independent, active and connected. The organization does this by investing in home support services, caregiver and outreach programs to help seniors engage with their community and to live in their own homes, surrounded by friends, families and neighbours. United Way is a charitable organization established more than eighty years ago to support those in need in Metro Vancouver.

Celebration

Perfect nachos easy for New Year’s Eve

n unsatisfying visit to a franchise restaurant, coupled with the expectation of the New Year’s Eve celebration, has compelled me to write about nachos. With fierce competition in the restaurant industry, it surprises me that there are any menu options that lack flavour, let alone something

as simple as nachos. For approximately ten dollars (plus the cost of adding chicken or beef) I was presented with a mediocre-sized plate of bland nachos. The presentation was great, as it offered many colours to please the eye, but flavour was scarce. There was nothing special about them.

R oad S afet y THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS IN FULL SWING! People are busy attending gettogethers or meeting friends to watch a game and some of these activities may involve a few drinks. If your festivities include alcohol, plan ahead for a safe ride home before you head out. While attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed considerably since the launch of CounterAttack more than 35 years ago, there are still people who take chances or make excuses for drinking and driving. Impaired driving remains a leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. Every December, an average of five people are killed on our roads in crashes involving impaired driving. These are preventable tragedies and that’s why police across the province are dedicated and will be out in full force targeting impaired drivers at CounterAttack roadchecks. We all know that alcohol can affect one’s judgement, reaction time, coordination and visual functions. Behind the wheel that means it affects your ability to

steer, control your speed and lane position, track moving objects and brake appropriately. And the truth is no amount of coffee, food or fresh air can sober you up.

University track and field

National champion joins Spartans’ fold Emma Li’s resume includes a gold medal in pole vault at this past summer’s 2013 Legion Canadian Youth Championships in Langley.

Trinity Western University’s track and field team took what it considered to be a leap forward in the pole vault pit, as Laurier Primeau officially announced the signing of national youth champion and defending OFSAA (Ontario Federation of School Athletic Associations) gold medalist Emma Li Wednesday. The 5’5” Li, who will graduate from Bill Crothers Secondary in 2014, captured the pole vault gold medal at the 2013 Legion

Canadian Youth Championships in Langley and also represented Canada at the 2013 IAAF World Youth Championships in Donetsk, Ukraine. Li, who competes with The Speed Academy Athletics Club where she is coached by Patrick Russell, has a personal best vault of 3.70 metres and also has a personal best of 8.97 seconds in the 60m hurdles. By comparison, a vault of 3.70m at last year’s Canada West championships would have placed her fourth overall, while a time of 8.97 in the 60m hurdles would have had her in seventh place. “We welcome to TWU our first OFSAA champion in Emma Li,”

Primeau said. “Anyone who follows Canadian high school track and field understands the depth and competitive environment that is the Ontario high school championships and for Emma to have prevailed in Grade 11 is indicative of her high level of achievement.” Primeau believes that the Speed Academy has an emphasis on using sport as a vehicle for a better future for the athletes they work with, and a big piece of that is connecting high school athletes with the post-secondary institution that best fits their needs. “We feel that Emma is a perfect fit for TWU,” Primeau added.

Cracker of a meet for Kim

An 11-year-old Langley swimmer won nine gold medals at a meet in B.C.’s capital last weekend.

Joshua Kim was the Langley Olympians’ golden boy at the 2013 Pacific Coast Swimming Xmas Cracker Invitational last weekend in Victoria. Olympians athletes competed head-to-head against swimmers from Victoria over three days at the short course (25-metre pool) meet, which consisted of heats and finals. All swimmers needed to race hard in order to make finals as the competition was fierce. Top of the bunch was 11-year–old Joshua, who won gold in every one of his races. Joshua swam a total of nine events, competing in the 12 & under boys category. He recorded a number of best times while setting three 11-12 boys club records in the 50m breaststroke (36.84 seconds), 100m breaststroke (1:16.43) and 200m breaststroke (2:46.53 seconds). Siobhan Board swam hard and managed to qualify for the upcoming Thunderbolt Junior International Short Course Championships in Oregon in the 50m backstroke, with a gold medal-winning time of 30.60 seconds. She won the gold medal in this event along with silver in the 15 & over 200m backstroke and bronze in the 15 & over 100m backstroke. The 16-year-old Board joined her teammates this past weekend in Oregon.

Hanneson on Team Canada

Canada’s senior women’s ringette team includes a Langley resident. by Troy Landreville sports@langleyadvance.com

Langley’s Kacy Hannesson was the lone B.C. player named to the Canadian team competing at the 2013 World Ringette Championships. The tournament runs Dec. 29 to Jan. 4 in North Bay, Ont., and will see both U19 and senior world champions declared. Typically held separately, U19 national teams from Canada and Finland will, for the first time, be competing concurrently with the senior national teams from Canada, Finland, Sweden and the United States. Meanwhile, Finland is the defending senior world champion after downing Canada at the 2010 world championships that was held in Finland, while Canada East picked up the U19 world championship title last December in London, Ont. The 21-year-old Hanneson, a 5’3” defenceman, plays for the National Ringette League’s Cambridge Turbos.

With a 23-4 record, the Turbos are are the top-ranked team in the National Ringette League (NRL) Elite Eight. The senior national teams from Canada and Finland will compete in the Sam Jacks Series, which is a best two-outof-three series. The series will start on Jan. 2 and the winner will claim the Sam Jacks Trophy on either Jan. 3 or 4.

TWU drops opener

The Trinity Western University Spartans men’s basketball team kicked off its three-game southern California holiday tour Tuesday with a 94-71 loss to Cal State San Marcos, at the CSUSM Holiday Classic Tournament at Mira Costa College in Oceanside, Calif.

The 28-11 turnover ratio and the 34-14 free throw margin proved to be the difference in the game as the Spartans moved to 8-9 on the season, while the Cougars moved to 10-1. “We are not used to that intense pressure for 40 minutes and having 28 turnovers may be a new record and one that we don’t feel very proud of,” TWU head coach Scott Allen said after the game. “We are slowly learning the importance of turnover to assists ratio and emphasis in practice and games is paramount prior to start of second half of season.” The Spartans capped the tournament last night (Dec. 18) against Vanguard University (results were not available at press time Wednesday afternoon.)

PuCKS executive director Connie Klimek (front row, left) and operations director Margaret Kunst (back row, right) welcomed Langley Good Times Cruise-In board members Wayne Patterson and Lori Watts (front row) and Dick Hooper, Martin Brown, and Eric Taylor when they stopped by with a donation for $4,400 on Dec. 10. Scotiabank donated another $1,900 for PuCKS that day. The donations will go towards PuCKS literacy programs.

The Langley Good Times Cruise-In board stopped by with a donation to the Douglas Park Community School. Accepting was Esther Schmit.
