Pipeline approved

A long-awaited federal panel decision approved Enbridge’s controversial $6.5-billion Northern Gateway pipeline, but the project still faces major hurdles, including legal action

by First Nations.

B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said there’s little chance the project can meet its five complex conditions during the 180 days the federal government has to make a final decision.

These obstacles raise the spectre of project delays beyond a decision by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Conservative government, should it give the pipeline the go-ahead.

Slippery snow sends us sliding Drivers around Langley had a little trouble navigating Friday’s blast of winter.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The snow covered the roads, and the cars slid off them.

Langley road crews and firefighters were kept busy with a series of mostly minor accidents on Friday morning as a couple of centimeters of snow and ice blanketed the community.

In Langley Township, fire chief Stephen Gamble said that by 10 a.m. firefighters had responded to at least 12 motor vehicle incidents.

The Thank You for Caring Christmas Tea in November raised $23,664.96 for the Langley Christmas Bureau. The folks at the volunteer-run bureau were elated at the generous donation. “We have never received a donation that large, ever, at least in my day,” said co-chair Leigh Castron. This was the second Christmas tea. Last year it was organized by the wives of the two Langley mayors and this year by a group that included their family members. Shown are some of the women who wore fascinators (fancy hats) to the event that attracted about 500 people.

Langley City residents are going green but won’t be seeing the green anytime soon.

The 2013 budget was calculated with a conservative 15 per cent diversion rate for green waste and kitchen waste. The City started collecting kitchen waste (dairy and meat) waste for composting this year.

Residents have been recycling much more than predicted – 45 per cent of organic/green waste.

That prompted Councillor Dave Hall to ask at the Dec. 17 council meeting whether taxpayers will see reductions in their waste and recycling costs.

The regional district recently announced increased waste fees for 2014. It will cost $108 per tonne (up $1) to throw away garbage at waste transfer stations.

In contrast green waste fees are $65 per tonne (up $2 for 2014).

“This should be a dollar savings to each resident,” Hall said.

Acting Mayor Ted Schaffer said more information about changes to the waste and recycling laws needs to come from the non-profit provincial agency Multi Material B.C.

(MMBC). MMBC is creating ways to keep packaging and paper packaging from the landfill.

A variety of government agencies or groups are involved in waste management and as they make changes, the costs may be passed onto residents.

“We’re taking a cautious approach,” added administrator

Traffic accident

Driver hits, stops, and leaves

Another driver grazed a pedestrian and failed to call the police.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The Langley RCMP are looking for the driver of a truck that hit a pedestrian in Murrayville Thursday morning.

At about 9:15 a.m., the pedestrian was using a crosswalk at 219th Street and 48th Avenue when she was hit by a pickup truck.

A witness told police that the driver got out and spoke to the pedestrian, then got back in and drove off east on 48th.

The pedestrian was found by police and is in good condition, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP.

There has to be a better way…

There is!

Metro Vancouver has expressed a goal of zero waste.

By 2015, food and other organic waste will be banned from regional waste disposal facilities. The 45 per cent diversion rate refers to homes with municipal garbage collection.

Multi-family homes such as condos must contract for the service.

The vehicle involved is described as a green Ford F-series pickup with a white canopy.

This is the second such incident in Langley in the last few days.

On Dec. 14, an older model van collided with a 14-year-old girl who was walking north across 88th Avenue at 204th Street just after 11:30 p.m. The van was headed south on 204th and turning east onto 88th Avenue when it hit the teen.

In that case, the woman driving the van got out and checked on the teen, who had only minor injuries, but did not call the police to report the collision.

Police are looking for more witnesses to the most recent incident.

Anyone with information can call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

RCMP spokesperson Const. Craig Van Herk reminded that drivers who hit pedestrians, even if no one is injured, “should still report it.”

’Twas the night before Christmas

…when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there; The children were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads; And mamma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap, Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap, When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash, Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below, When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer, With a little old driver, so lively and quick, I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.

More rapid than eagles his coursers they came, and He whistled, and shouted, and called them by name; “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

On, Comet! on Cupid! on, Donder and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!”

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly, When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky, So up to the house-top the coursers they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around, Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.

He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot, And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot; A bundle of toys he had flung on his back, And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes – how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!

His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow; The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth, And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath; He had a broad face and a little round belly, That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself; A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread; He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk, And laying his finger aside of his nose, And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose; He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle, And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight, “Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”

– by Clement Clarke Moore, 1823

Fort Langley

Central issue dividing community

Dear Editor, In this season of peace and joy and visits with family and friends, I’d like to remind all Fort Langley residents, property owners, and businesses of the many wonderful things we have accomplished together so far, and to promote a sense of satisfaction and a joyful anticipation for the great things we will accomplish together in the future.

I’d like to do that – but I can’t.

I can’t do it, because there is an extremely divisive and festering hot issue right now in Fort Langley. The issue is fueled by emotion

and all sorts of verbal and published confusion and misinformation.

The issue goes to the heart of what we, as Fort Langley residents, property owners, and business people, have come to accept is the true centre, the geographical core of our beliefs about Fort Langley.

Of course, I’m speaking about the question of where the downtown core of Fort Langley really is. Is it at the major intersection of town, that is, Glover Road and 96th Avenue, or is it at some other place, far, far away?

Much has been written in

Langley Legion

Success thanks to community

Dear Editor, The management committee of Royal Canadian Legion Branch 21 Langley is grateful to the Langley community, businesses, and volunteers who helped make our poppy campaign a success. The total raised was $84,981.

Thanks to the downtown merchants who made it possible to display the banners of our veterans.

The poppy campaign is our yearly fundraiser to help our veterans and families in need of support.

The funds also allow us to donate to the sea, army, and air cadets who help and support us during our campaign and at Remembrance Day services.

Langley schools are also an important factor in our campaign, by participating in the Legion literacy campaign, submitting posters, essays, and poems pertaining to Remembrance Day and what it means to them. Students receive certificates, pins, and monetary gifts for the best in each category.

Children and grandchildren attending college or university can also apply for bursaries from the poppy funds.

We have veterans who live in facilities to which we donate for much-needed equipment, such as ceiling lifts, electric beds, and oxygen concentrators. The George Derby Veterans facility and Langley Lodge both will receive donations.

To the business people of Langley who did not have the opportunity to participate this year, we hope for their participation next year in support of our veterans.

Lest we forget.

the past year or two about some other corner being the “downtown core” or the “commercial centre” of Fort Langley. This is deeply disturbing to those of us who know the basic truth.

No matter how many fancy-shmancy Wendel’s’s (sorry Dianne) or Coulter Berrys or Heritage Holes (sorry Eric) you build somewhere over there at the hoity-toity north end of town, and no matter how many confusingly signalled corners you face your buildings towards, the truth remains the truth: the downtown centre of Fort Langley always was, is now, and always will be Glover Road and 96th Avenue.

Sure 96th and Glover is a little scuzzier (OK, OK, a lot scuzzier) than the bodacious north end of Fort Langley. I ask you, though, what lively and industrious downtown core isn’t a little scuzzy?

So if you’re looking for a happening corner, a corner where people live and work in a relatively dense, but relatively compatible, peaceful, and walkable environment, check out the true downtown core of Fort Langley: Glover and 96th.

And I call on all Fort Langley residents, property owners, and businesses to recognize the claim of Glover and 96th as the true downtown core of Fort Langley forever more, and to be glad and happy and unified in that we can all agree on at least this one, simple, basic core value of Fort Langley.

Peace.

Looking back…

1933: Christmas meal urged for cows

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

• In a poignant reminder of the economic situation of the day, one letter-writer made a point of asking farmers to see that their cows all get a Christmas meal, “even though there may be a scarcity of feed this year.”

Eighty Years Ago

December 14, 1933

• About 250 farmers and their friends attended the Langley Agricultural Association’s annual banquet in Milner Hall.

• Councillors Selby-Hele and Logan called for a plebiscite to abolish the ward system.

Seventy Years Ago

December 21, 1933

December 16, 1943

• A large part of the Langley Advance was filled with letters to the editor expressing outrage over implementation of a $2 dog licence tax.

LangleyAdvance

• Reeve (mayor) Alex Hope, Ward 1 Councillor J.W. Bray, and Ward 2 Councillor Len Norman were all elected to Langley council

by acclamation.

• Electors were asked to vote on four referenda, to decide whether: to create a twomil capital reserve fund; Langley should join the Fraser Valley Union Library; Langley should have a hospital; and Langley should be allowed to choose a new school board to replace the provincially appointed trustee.

Sixty Years Ago

December 17, 1953

• Reeve (mayor) George

Brooks and Councillors Noel Booth and D.W. Poppy were re-elected with substantial majorities, while Josef Scarf defeated Mennor Friesen in Ward 3. Langley school board chairman A.J. Dodd was re-elected, but Trevor Beggs deposed incumbent Trustee J.D. Hildebrandt.

December 24, 1953

• Council planned a roundtable talk for early 1954, to discuss the Langley Prairie secession movement.

• After hearing from Airport Advisory Board chairman E.E. Sendall, council wanted Langley Airport classified a port of entry for airplanes entering the country.

Fifty Years Ago

December 19, 1963

• A $30,000 fire razed the main three-room wing of North Otter Elementary School. The school’s 130 students spent the week before Christmas in classes at Langley High School. A new school, comprised of four or five rooms, was expected to be built by Easter.

December 26, 1963

• Township council passed the Emergency Measures Bylaw to legalize Civil Defence, the Langley Purchase Bylaw to acquire additional land for Langley Centennial Museum, and the Waterworks Bylaw to legalize the use of water meters in Aldergrove.

December 13, 1973

• Construction of a 50-bed addition to Langley Memorial Hospital was underway. the 22,000-square foot wing was expected to cost $2,300,000.

• Langley Secondary School’s boys basketball team defeated Chilliwack, 60-58. It was the Saints’ first win in two years.

December 20, 1973

• Milner veterinarian Albert Anderson delivered B.C.’s first embryo-transplant calf, a pure-bred Simmental heifer from a host Jersey cow owned by George Davison of Haney.

Thirty Years Ago

December 14, 1983

• Two thousand gallons of diesel oil were spilled as a result of a truck/train crash at Mufford Cres.

• Langley Christmas Bureau coordinator Carol Gran announced that the care agency was in dire need of $2,000, and almost immediately, $9,000 in donations poured in.

December 21, 1983

• Langley City and Township each put up $30,000 to fund an Economic Development Council which was to be run by Langley Chamber of Commerce.

• Township Council decided to spend more than $20,000 on road signs aimed at restricting truckers to specific routes through the municipality.

Twenty Years Ago

December 15, 1993

• City council decided to raise business taxes, but unanimously voted against giving themselves raises. Comparisons against other, similarly sized communities indicated that the local councillors were already doing quite well, salary-wise.

• Langley Chamber of Commerce awarded the 1993 H.D. Stafford Good Citizen of the Year Award to Eric Bysouth.

• Vigils were held across Canada to mark the fourth year of imprisonment of Langley’s Christine Lamont, who was serving a 28-year sentence in Brazil after having been convicted, along with her fiance David Spencer, of kidnapping there.

• Coordinator Iris Mooney said Langley Christmas

Bureau was stretched to its absolute limit in trying to provide assistance to needy families locally. The local food bank was experiencing similar, but not quite as dire, difficulties.

December 22, 1993

• A Langley family felt overwhelmed by a parcel that had been anonymously delivered to their doorstep.

Inside the parcel were an apology, $100, and stereo equipment that had been stolen from their car a year and a half previous.

• Two young Langley men were among four killed in a car crash on Patullo Bridge after the Langley car suddenly veered across the centre line of the road.

• The first full weekend of Christmas CounterAttack roadblocks netted 11 roadside suspensions, but no formal charges of drinking and driving were laid.

• Local MP Randy White and MLA Lynn Stephens added their signatures to a petition which was to be sent to Brazil, in support of Langley’s Christine Lamont who, along with her fiance David Spencer, was serving a 28year jail sentence there for kidnapping. White also sent a letter to Prime Minister Jean Chretien, in an effort to get Lamont and Spencer returned to Canada.

• A last-minute plea in the Langley Advance urged Langley residents to open their wallets – and instead of being in jeopardy of failing to meet local needs, the Langley Christmas Bureau was able to balance its books after helping 660 needy families obtain community adoptions, providing another 280 families with Christmas hampers, and presenting 26 “less needy” families with gift certificates.

Ten Years Ago

December 16, 2003

• Residents on both sides of the Fraser River were startled by a massive explosion… which turned out to be a Milner house being blown up as part of filming of an episode of Smallville.

• Work on site preparation for the new casino in downtown Langley City was hampered by environmental issues stemming from previous uses of the property.

• With its plans to build at the new 200th Street freeway interchange stymied, Costco looked toward Willoughby to set up shop.

December 19, 2003

• The Zero Avenue throughway debate heated up again, with the death of a Chilliwack driver who smashed head-on, at high speed, into a road grader.

• While Langley Township debated switching its paid per call, volunteer fire response crew to a full-time staff, Langley City signed a deal to build a new fire hall.

December 23, 2003

• Langley Christmas Bureau coordinator Joan Chesney paid special tribute to Iris Mooney who ran the bureau for 10 years in the 1980s and 1990s.

Buddhist charity gives out warm coats to needy Many people received early Christmas presents courtesy of a Surrey-based Buddhist organization.

by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

As people entered the Gateway of Hope meeting room on Dec. 6, they were invited to take a paper scroll.

It contained uplifting epithets from the Buddhist leader of the Tzu Chi Foundation, an international Buddhist charity.

Then volunteers helped them along a procession that gave out warm winter

coats, personal grooming packs and even chocolate bars, all a way for foundation members to put their beliefs about helping others into action.

The Surrey chapter of the Tzu Chi Foundation was started in 2003 and has done charitable work around the region.

The foundation came to Langley and hosted a coat giveaway Dec. 6.

“This event will be our major annual win-

ter relief event, just like another one which we have run since 2003 at the Front Room in Surrey,” explained Tom Torng, speaking for the foundation.

People could try on winter coats in one of two colours or receive a personal care package (socks, gloves, a toque, toothpaste/toothbrush and more). A total of 50 coats and 50 personal care packs were distributed, with the foundation receiving some help from Township Mayor Jack Froese and Councillor Grant Ward.

Members of the foundation also gave out snacks to fill the pockets of the new jackets Gateway of Hope clients were receiving.

“The reason why I chose Gateway of Hope is that it is managed by the Salvation Army, and we worked with Salvation Army for the community service in other cities for many years,” Torng explained.

The group was at Gateway last year as well, doing a quiet campaign to assess community need.

The foundation is doing more work in Langley.

This year it launched the Tzu Chi Foundation
