An elderly resident died and two more were injured after a fire that gutted a rental fourplex on Old Yale Road in rural Langley Township Thursday night.

Of the two injured residents, one was airlifted to hospital by helicopter with life-threatening injuries, and the other was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

The fire was reported in the 23800 block of Old Yale Road at about 6:30 p.m. Thursday night.

But by the time firefighters arrived on scene, the building was fully engulfed.

Five firehalls were called out to deal with the blaze. When the fire broke out, many on-call firefighters were already at their halls for training, said Township fire chief Stephen Gamble.

When firefighters arrived, all the injured residents were outside of the building already.

The deceased resident, an elderly person, was found outside on a wheelchair ramp leading up to the most heavily damaged unit.

There were 15 engines involved in the operation, many of them acting as water shuttles.

“In this area, we don’t have a tanker system,” said Gamble.

The Township has been working on a system in recent years that allows them to quickly move

water from the nearest hydrant to rural locations so quickly that there is never a drop in water pressure from fire hoses.

On Thursday morning, fire investigators entered the building and began searching for the cause of the fatal fire.

Investigators are working with the RCMP, although they do not

believe the fire was deliberately set.

“The cause is still undetermined at this point,” said Gamble.

Old Yale Road, which had been closed for much of Thursday night, was re-opened by Friday morning. Power to the remaining nearby fourplex on the same

property was still out after the fire.

With the holiday season approaching, now is a good time to review a family fire plan and check that fire safety is up to snuff in every local home, said Gamble.

Cooking or candles should never be left unattended, Gamble said.

Smoke alarms should be checked to ensure they are working, and any smoke alarms older than 10 years should be replaced with new models.

Every home should have more than one smoke alarm, said Gamble.

Flames damage safety training business A fire in a small business in Langley City didn’t spread to the rest of the shopping centre.

A fire at the Rainbow Mall damaged one business but spared the rest Friday morning.

Langley City firefighters responded just after 7 a.m. to a blaze in Pacific Rim Safety Training, which has a storefront office in the mall at the corner of Logan Avenue and Glover Road.

After reports of smoke, firefighters managed to extinguish the fire just as it was starting to burn into the building’s ceiling.

The fire is believed to have started in a storage room.

The fire and water damaged the room and its contents, but the rest of the mall was not seriously affected.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The fire was at the beginning of a very busy day for the City fire crews, who also responded to a steady string of medical calls, and cleaned up a mess after someone dumped a box of creosote near a dumpster off the Langley Bypass.

Langley City fire investigators were on scene for several hours Friday morning.

With Arctic air on the way, Langley is getting ready for cold weather and possibly snow in the week to come.

On Monday, the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope and Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services both activated cold weather response measures for the community’s homeless.

The Gateway of Hope will be opening its cold weather shelter until further notice. ANS will active its Youth Weather Response as well, also until the weather improves.

The Gateway program is a 12-hour shelter to allow anyone to get in out of the cold overnight at 5787 Langley Bypass. ANS helps teens and youths without somewhere to sleep.

Teenagers can get services by calling 604-530-6477 or dropping in at the Starting Point office at 20626 Eastleigh Crescent.

Langley City is already reminding residents about snow and ice removal on City streets.

If it snows, residents are advised to park in drive-

ways or garages whenever possible rather than on the streets to allow snow plows to pass.

City staff also remind residents that when shoveling snow, you must pile it on your own property, and cannot shovel it out into the roads or onto sidewalks. Homeowners and business owners are responsible for clearing

snow from the sidewalks in front of their properties within 24 hours.

Right now, there is little chance of significant snowfall. Although temperatures are expected to dip and to hover around freezing for most of the week, no snow flurries are expected until Friday, according to Environment Canada forecasts.

Tracy Cramer’s Grade 6/7 class at James Kennedy Elementary did a three-day coin drive. The kids decided they had to do something to help the people of the Philippines after Typhon Haiyan killed so many and caused such devastation. The students raised $1,000 which was donated to the Canadian Medical Assistance Team. Representatives from the charity were at the school Nov. 29 to receive the donation and tell the children more about the group’s work. The students also sent along personalized notes of thanks for frontline helpers.

Marijuana

Township plans pot farm bylaw Langley Township may have legal pot, but council wants to keep it in industrial zones.

A bylaw that would restrict medical marijuana to industrial areas only was set to be considered

by Langley Township council this month.

The council was scheduled to hear the first two readings of the new regulation on Monday, Dec. 2, with a public hearing expected for Dec. 9.

If the bylaw is passed, it will then still have to be run by the provincial Ministry of Agriculture before it comes into effect.

The Township has been discussing new marijuana growing rules on and off for some months, as the federal government’s new plan for privatized medical marijuana growing has been on the horizon.

Starting next spring on April 1, 2014, new regulations will ban growing of small amounts of marijuana by medical users.

Instead, the new system will allow large-scale commercial growers to start pot businesses supplying those with medical use permits.

The Township wants to ban the growing of pot in any of its agricultural areas, and restrict it to industrial areas only.

“We recognize there is a need for medical marijuana, but we must ensure that safety and health issues and the concerns of the community are addressed,” said Township Mayor Jack Froese in a statement. “We have heard from the public, and Township council believes restricting medicinal marijuana grow facilities to specific zones in industrial areas is the best option.”

Froese said this will ensure that there are buffers between the marijuana production facilities and residential areas.

The Township has to seek approval from the province because it must have approval before changing bylaws that affect agriculture.

The Township has

“Township council believes restricting medical marijuana facilities to specific zones in industrial areas is the best option.”

Mayor Jack Froese

met with the other communities under the same restrictions (Abbotsford, Delta, and Kelowna) and they are all asking for similar rules together.

If there are no significant opposition to the new rules at the Dec. 9 public hearing, the new bylaw could be approved by the Township by Dec. 16. A final vote to make the bylaw official would be held after the discussions with the Ministry of Agriculture.

For the past century, the headwaters of Langley’s Yorkson Creek have wound through farms and acreages in Willoughby.

In the last decade, the area has changed dramatically, as more of the open properties are being developed into townhouses, condos, and numerous homes on small lots.

The density doesn’t seem to be doing much damage to the flow of water into the stream that winds north through Walnut Grove, however.

This summer, though dry, was the first in some time in which parts of the creek didn’t dry up completely. Volunteers from the Yorkson Creek Watershed Society normally mobilize in late summer to ferry salmon fry from isolated pools to the main stream. They didn’t have to take that action in 2013.

A change to the way development is proceeding may have helped, say local

There has been a quiet revolution in the way B.C. towns and cities deal with the water that flows from their homes, businesses, and parking lots.

New water retention ponds are replacing older stormwater detention areas. The new ponds are designed to protect the natural environment more.

Nichole Marples and Lisa Dreves of the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) pointed out the differences at one pond recently constructed near 208th Street and 80th Avenue.

The area includes a new stream bed constructed with gravel, logs, large rocks, and surrounding trees that will grow to maturity over the next several years. It’s the first phase of a series of detention ponds that will be built as more nearby lands are developed.

“A lot more engineering goes into that,” said Dreves. The ponds’ winding channels allow water to infiltrate into the ground, rather than run off or go into Yorkson Creek.

“You’ve got more complexity in the vegetation,” said Marples.

The new retention ponds are more expensive to build, but they are better for the environment in the long term, said Marples.

One of the people designing those retention ponds is Nav Sandhu, a project manager with McElhaney Consulting.

Sandhu specializes in water resources, and has designed a number of the retention ponds around the Yorkson watershed.

A natural system is like a sponge, he said, it absorbs a lot of water when the rain falls. The water is released over days or months, and much of it makes its way into creeks from underground.

As suburbs grew across the Lower Mainland, water became a problem, at first because of property damage. The earliest methods of dealing with water more than half a century ago were detention ponds, said Sandhu. These are the sizeable grassy depressions. They fill with water during heavy rains, but they don’t hold it for long.

But environmentalists,

A creek bed (below) forms part of the stormwater retention plan near 80th Avenue and 208th Street. planners, and engineers found that creeks were drying up and fish were dying. The new methods of design were brought in around 15 years ago.

“There was almost a paradigm shift,” said Sandhu.

Not surprisingly, the shift began here in B.C. and in Washington State, two areas that have to deal with more rainwater than most parts of North America, Sandhu said.

Surrey has taken the lead with regulations on better practices, with Langley Township close behind.

The new ponds settle out pollutants, prevent erosion and flooding from storms, and allow the longer infiltration that helps the water table.

There are other tactics on an even smaller scale that are doing the same job, Sandhu said. Gordon Estates area has a rain garden on the edges of the streets instead of simple gutters. The rocky trough is filled with plants that absorb water instead of just dumping it into the storm sewers.

“That water eventually gets into the creek,” Sandhu said.

Even with the best modern techniques, modern development is still paving or building over areas that were once covered by trees and grasses.

It is a challenge to offset all the development going on, Sandhu admitted.

“It can be enough, if you incorporate all the right techniques,” he said.

New techniques are still being developed that could even re-use some of the water for irrigation.

Looking back…

Langley’s history, as recorded in the files of the Langley Advance.

November 23, 1933

• First call for the newly organized Langley Fire Brigade was a request for assistance in White Rock. Langley and Blaine responded to help suppress a blaze in the business section of town.

• For a dime (a quarter for adults) kids could see Midshipman Jack, starring Bruce Cabot, Betty Furness, and Frank Albertson, playing at the Ivan L. Theatre in Blaine.

Seventy Years Ago

November 25, 1943

• Langley potato judges Francis Lidster and Hugh Davis placed second in national competition at the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.

• Businessmen at a Board of Trade meeting voiced their discontent that the municipality appeared to be dragging its feet on a promised public washroom for Langley Prairie.

Sixty Years Ago

November 26, 1953

• Further negotiations were planned after the local school board rejected teachers’ request for a three per cent salary increase.

• Demands for a single milk marketing agency in the Lower Mainland were gaining favour with a majority of farmers. The Milk Board had just created a quota system for milk.

Fifty Years Ago

November 28, 1963

• Local Guernsey breeders and Jehovah’s Witnesses were both preparing to leave town. The cattlemen were off to a conference in Abbotsford, and the Jehovah’s Witnesses were heading for a three-day assembly in White Rock.

Forty Years Ago

November 22, 1973

• Premier Dave Barrett and seven ministers of his cabinet got together in the Fort Langley Big House for what had become a Douglas Day tradition – a provincial cabinet meeting in the restored historic fort, where the Crown colony of British Columbia was first proclaimed by Governor James Douglas and Judge Matthew Begbie.

• Langley Township council decided to limit the 3,000acre Brookswood subdivision to a total population of 27,000.

Thirty Years Ago

November 23, 1983

• More and more Langley ice users were getting antsy about the shortage of rink time available, and a study was launched to determine if there was a need for an additional ice sheet.

Twenty Years Ago

Canadian spies no surprise

Revelations from Edward Snowden’s seemingly unending store of secret documents continue to amaze and astound naive inhabitants of countries the world over.

Snowden, you’ll recall, is the American computer geek and former CIA employee who garnered world attention by leaking reams of intelligence documents and running off to Russia, where he got indefinitely lost in an airport… like Tom Hanks in The Terminal (except Tom Hanks’s character was never personally threatened by the President of the United States of America).

Snowden’s leaks included the remarkable revelation that the Americans’ National Security Agency had a special facility to horn in on millions upon millions of telephone calls and electronic communications around the world – with embarrassing tidbits about monitoring French citizens… and the German president.

Canadians were mostly amused. What else would you expect from those paranoid Americans and their Hollywood-revered spy gamesmanship?

We were amused… until Snowden revealed that we had a game of our own going in Brazil, with Canada’s own spy network, the Communications Security Establishment Canada (CSEC), running the ball on behalf of Canadian businesses.

Now we find that CSEC was playing waterboy for the NSA at the G20 Summit in 2010 – yet another black eye for a world leaders summit that was marked by questionable suspension of Canadians’ civil liberties, arrests of questionable legality, questionable expenses by government and ministers… wait a minute! Should we really be surprised that there was questionable spying going on, too?

At a more recent world leaders summit, Russians offered participants “goodie bags” that included gifts of portable memory chips… which included spyware aimed at extending Russia’s ability to catch a glimpse into other governments’ computers.

The reality is that spying and electronic surveillance have become ubiquitous. We’re no worse than anyone else. And no better.

Rob Morris, Fort Langley Wayne Boylan, Aldergrove Dear Editor, Unlike Janice Robertson [Coulter Berry dilemma council’s fault, Nov. 26 Letters, Langley Advance], I do not think council “made a poor decision” in approving the Coulter Berry building.

After plans were unveiled to a positive public response at an open house in May 2012, it took until November that year to get Township council approval.

After two nights of listening to submissions for and against the proposal, council voted 7-1 in favour. Some people were happy with the decision, others not.

But referring to “the way it has divided the town of Fort Langley,” it hardly seems to be council’s fault.

The unfortunate result of the heritage hole in the ground was achieved by six people with private interests fortunate to get a judge who found a process technicality.

There was no public hearing about whether to launch a court challenge. There was no public hearing in the court proceedings.

Unveiling plans at an open house, allowing plenty of time for input, then making application for a permit, then waiting for the public hearing to be scheduled, and having two nights for submissions, followed by a council decision is, in fact, going “through proper channels.”

Response

Youth issues presented to mayors

Dear Editor, While we appreciate your interest in Vancouver Foundation’s 2013 Youth Vital Signs (YVS) report [Few surprises in youth report, Nov. 19 Opinion, Langley Advance], there are some statements not reflective of the information contained in the YVS report.

The purpose of the report is to start a dialogue among youth, local governments, and the public about how youth can contribute to the health of our communities.

Regarding the high cost of living driving youth out of Vancouver, into other regions, the Advance states, “What’s surprising is that those who compiled the survey are apparently unaware that Maple Ridge and Langley are both part of Metro Vancouver.”

I can assure you that members of the Youth Vital Signs Youth Leadership Council

TODAY’S FLYERS... in the

who compiled the report and the more than 3,500 Lower Mainland youth who responded to the survey are well aware of the various cities and municipalities that make up Metro Vancouver. In fact, youth from Maple Ridge and Langley were well represented among survey respondents.

The Youth Vital Signs Youth Leadership Council, with support from Vancouver Foundation staff, will be giving presentations to mayors and councils across Metro Vancouver. There has been great support and expressions of interest from elected officials. We’re encouraging citizens to come out and join in the conversation.

Langley Christmas Bureau

Charity makes donating so easy

The Langley Christmas Bureau’s Gifts for Kids booth is up and running at Willowbrook Shopping Centre.

ifts for kids ages nine to 15 are the perennial need for the Langley Christmas Bureau and now that the bureau Christmas tree is set up in Willowbrook Shopping Centre, it’s easier than ever to shop for the charity.

The Christmas bureau provides gifts for families with children from birth to age 18 who would not otherwise be able to provide them.

And each year the bureau sets up Gifts for Kids, a booth in the local mall to make giving easier. There are volunteers at the booth during mall hours (9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday).

The booth is at the mall until Sunday, Dec. 15 and volunteers can help with suggestions and guidance

on gift giving.

Lots of people like to buy for the youngest kids so there’s never a shortage of items there but the older kids are tougher to buy for.

Here are some of the basic rules for Langley Christmas Bureau donations: • no stuffies or dolls be donated • only baby clothes, no clothes for children or teens • donations (cash or cheque) are gratefully accepted and the City of Langley will issue tax receipts for any over $20.

• gift certificates can also be donated The toys taken to the display at Willowbrook Shopping Centre or the Christmas Bureau office on Fraser Highway at 206th Street should be unwrapped.

Donors at the mall are given a tag with the age and gender of the toy they’re donating and they get to hang the tag on the tree that’s donated by Langley City.

Right now there’s not a lot of tags on the tree but the community has always been generous to the volunteer-run Langley

Christmas Bureau.

Langley families that are struggling can head to the bureau office to register for gifts for the children.

Each child in a family will receive a small toy, a larger toy, stocking stuffers, and a book courtesy of the Langley Literacy Association.

The parents get to pick gifts appropriate for their children during Toy Depot

Days, Dec. 16-18 this year. Gifts are specifically distributed a week before Christmas. Then the bureau packs up its offices for another season.

The main office is at 20560 Fraser Hwy., and operates Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There’s also the Aldergrove office in

the Aviva Employment Services office at 26956 Fraser Hwy. People can register there for help but donations are not accepted there. The Aldergrove office operates Tuesday and Thursday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The bureau works with other local agencies to help ensure the help goes to local families that are struggling. Through

bureau sponsorship program families can receive Christmas hampers or gift certificates to purchase supplies for holiday meals.

For more information about giving, sponsoring a family or receiving holiday help from the bureau, go to www.langleychristmasbureau.com or call 604-530-3001. The email contact is info@langleychristmasbureau.com.

Chilko is just one of the dog that was adopted from LAPS, but has since returned with its new family for the annual pet photos with Santa.

etting Spot’s picture taken with Santa this weekend will not only provide an invaluable keepsake but also help cover medical costs for some of Langley’s animals that have been abandoned or neglected.

For the fifth year in a row, Langley Animal Protection Society is hosting pet photos with Santa at the Aldergrove shelter.

But much to the surprise of organizers, all 30 of the Sunday appointments have already been filled, said the shelter’s executive director Sean Baker.

“This is a first… I was shocked when staff came to me on Thursday, and said it’s all booked up more than a week ahead of the event,” Baker told the Langley Advance.

It’s really grown in popularity since it’s inception, he said, noting how it also speaks to a societal shift whereby animals are being considered more and more as a member of the family rather than a possession, and the pet lovers’ want to document – like they would with their children – the passing of another season by getting their pet’s pictures with Santa.

Although Sunday’s appointments are all booked up, Baker said the addition of a drop-in photo day at Barnes HarleyDavidson will help.

Luke Maki controls his talking computer with the dot on his forehead, a head mouse. He is sponsoring a family with the Langley Christmas Bureau. man decided to turn his attention to a family of total strangers.

The young man signed up to fill a Christmas hamper with food and gifts through the Langley Christmas Bureau. He’ll likely be buying presents for a single mom with one or two kids.

“It’s going to be exciting,” Maki said, speaking with the help of a computer controlled by a mouse he operates using his head.

Maki has cerebral palsy.

“Christmas is a stressful time for families who don’t have enough money to provide a good Christmas dinner and presents from Santa for their children,” he said. “I love giving.”

The Langley Christmas Bureau is one of several across B.C. that relies on financial donations to The Province’s 95th annual Empty Stocking Fund to provide services for families in need during the holidays.

Langley co-coordinator Leigh Castron said she was excited when he offered to help.

“We certainly don’t get

too many men his age signing up,” she said. “We were just thrilled.”

More than 388 families have applied for a hamper, and that number will continue to grow into December. Find out more about the Christmas bureau at www.langleychristmasbureau.com, including how to sponsor a family or make contributions.

Maki is looking forward to shopping for the family he has been assigned. He enjoys picking out presents and filled several shoeboxes with toys for children in Zambia through his Langley church. He said his passion for giving comes from his Christian convictions.

“By doing this, Luke can channel his gift-buying to people who need it,” said Woodward. “He can help to make some kids’ Christmas so much better than it would have been.”

Woodward said Maki, who loves little kids, especially enjoys watching others receive gifts.

“Seeing someone’s face light up just makes him smile,” Woodward said.

At halftime, Pickett and the Mustangs’ coaching staff told their players not to get comfortable with their 15-point cushion.

“We say lots of things, but the main thing was not to let up,” Pickett said. “We wanted to treat it as if we were losing 15-0, and not to sit back. The boys were playing very well. We didn’t

Pickett said the key to the Mustangs’ success was balance on both sides of the ball.

“It was our year,” he said.

With 19 of the team’s 37 players eligible to return to the bantam level next year, Pickett believes the Mustangs could be dominant again in 2014.

Spartans finish 2013 by upending Manitoba

TWU is an impressive 11-1 heading into its winter break.

The No. 2-ranked university men’s volleyball team in Canada lived up to its billing Saturday in Winnipeg.

The Trinity Western University Spartans earned a weekend sweep over the Manitoba Bisons with a five-set win at Investors Group Athletic Centre.

The Spartans led by six points midway through the fifth set before the Bisons cut their lead in half to make it 13-10.

However, Manitoba was unable to pull off the upset as the Spartans earned the set and the match following a Bisons’ attack error.

With the win, TWU improves to 11-1 on the season and will enter the Christmas break in first place and two wins clear of second place UBC.

Rivermen’s next two on road …continued from page A15

West Kelowna Warriors 5, Rivermen 1 The Rivermen’s lone hiccup during their past five games was Saturday’s fairly lopsided loss to the host Warriors at Royal LePage Place.

The Warriors led 2-0 after the first period, 3-0 after 40 minutes of play, and made it 4-0 on Seb Lloyd’s powerplay goal 4:40 into the third period.

Jakob Reichert spoiled West Kelowna goaltender Andy Desautels’ shutout bid when he scored on a Rivermen powerplay with 9:27 to go in regulation time.

Reid Simmonds rounded out the scoring for the home team with 35 seconds remaining in the third frame.

Five different skaters scored for the Warriors, who outshot the Rivermen 4621 overall, including 31-10 through two periods of play.

Rivermen 5, Penticton Vees 4 Gage Torrel’s second of the night, scored with 6:26 to go in regulation, snapped a 4-4 tie and turned out to be the game winner as the ’Men edged the Vees Friday at the South Okanagan Events Centre.

Torrel opened the scoring 8:04 into the opening frame.

Reichert gave the Rivermen a two-goal lead when he scored just 30 seconds later.

The Vees rallied in the second period with goals from Ben Dalpe and Brad McClure.

After being outshot 13-3 during the opening period, the Vees turned the table in the middle frame with 12 shots on goal to the Rivermen’s seven.

The third period was a wild one, with Langley’s James Robinson starting the scoring just 33 seconds after the puck was dropped.

Penticton answered back with the next two off the sticks of Brett Beauvais on a powerplay at the 4:04 mark of the frame, and an unassisted marker from McClure.

Down 4-3, the Rivermen tied the game on Ustaski’s unassisted goal 12:11 into the period.

Just 1:23 after that, Torrel notched the winner.

Rivermen 2, Prince George Spruce Kings 1 In a battle of the top two teams in the BCHL’s Mainland Division, the Rivermen edged the rival Spruce Kings last Wednesday at the Prince George Coliseum.

Crosswaite was named first star of the game after stopping 31 of 32 Spruce Kings’ shots.

The game was scoreless through the first 36 minutes and 30 seconds, before Reichert scored unassisted to give the visitors a 1-0 lead.

Cook scored 43 seconds into the third period to make it 2-0 Rivermen.

The Spruce Kings’ Braiden Epp scored his team’s only goal with 2:11 to go.

FINAL BUZZER: The Rivermen are road warriors this weekend, visiting Trail Friday and Salmon Arm Saturday for games against the Smoke Eaters and Silverbacks, respectively.

“It definitely helps with team chemistry,” Henderson said.

“We haven’t had any major road trips so the guys had a lot of fun last weekend and are looking forward to doing it again this weekend.”

A casualty from the weekend was Robinson, injured Saturday during the loss to the Warriors.

Following this weekend’s games, the Rivermen host Surrey on Friday, Dec. 13, Powell River Saturday, Dec. 14, and Nanaimo Sunday, Dec. 15.

The loss drops Manitoba to 5-7.

In a five-set thriller, the Spartans had two players with double digits in kills.

TWU’s Lucas Van Berkel led the way with 16 kills followed by Nick Del Bianco with 12 kills and two service aces. Branden Schmidt chipped in for the Spartans as well with five kills and three service aces.

For Manitoba, Devren Dear finished with 17 kills followed by Adam
