Let’s talk. You’ve probably seen us on the news recently regarding Burnaby Mountain and our Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project.

SOME FACTS

I think it would be good for us to talk.

The Trans Mountain Pipeline has been operating between Edmonton, AB and Burnaby, BC

We’ve talked a lot with communities about their concerns and in Burnaby the feedback was to look into routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain, rather than through their streets and neighbourhood.

since 1953. In April 2012, we proposed to expand the

Our work on the mountain over the past few weeks has been a part of that feasibility study. Though we estimate it will cost Kinder Morgan $40 million more than the original route through residential streets, we want to acknowledge the best interests of the residents of Burnaby.

pipeline by building a second pipeline alongside the original. Our goal for the entire route has been to build adjacent to the existing pipeline within our existing right-of-way. However, sometimes there are good

reasons to look at other options, such as safety concerns, residential or industrial development that has expanded since the original pipeline was built, or environmental considerations.

Unfortunately, demonstrators chose to block our crews from doing their work and, in order to maintain the safety of our employees, contractors and the public, we were forced to pursue legal action to secure our worksite. Freedom of speech is fundamental to our way of life. Equally so is the Canadian right to go to work and conduct business safely. We have always believed these two principles can coexist if we all communicate.

We’ve been engaging with Aboriginal groups, Landowners, communities and stakeholders since April 2012. We’ve reached agreements with 18 Aboriginal groups, to date. The current work on Burnaby Mountain is to study the proposed route through Burnaby Mountain. Our application is before the National Energy

Board, an independent federal agency, to determine if the project should be approved to proceed in Canada’s best interest. Ultimately, the federal government will make the ﬁnal decision.

We have conducted many workshops and open houses, met with thousands of people and continue to respond to questions daily. The feedback we have received to date has made our project better and has resulted in important changes to our route.

The National Energy Board has a recognized process to voice concerns, ask questions and introduce evidence for consideration.

Trans Mountain made a commitment to everyone who participated in our consultation that we would listen closely and do our best to respond to concerns.

Over 1,600 people in BC and Alberta have registered to participate. If approved to proceed, construction of the

Our work on Burnaby Mountain is part of keeping that commitment.

expansion would begin in mid-2016 and would be in operation by late 2018.

On behalf of all the people who work on the pipeline and project, I truly hope we can keep talking throughout the process. Your input is important to us. We’ll be providing more opportunities for dialogue including our upcoming telephone town hall on December 3rd. Go to TransMountain.com to sign up. We welcome the opportunity to talk.

Many other project details and information about upcoming opportunities for dialogue can be found on our website www.TransMountain.com

WOMEN’S SAFETY

Ishtar shake-up follows murder claim

Former Ishtar managers used an imaginary murder to justify layoffs last week. MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Ishtar Transition Housing Society will not be closing its Aldergrove shelter for battered women, its brand new board president said. “We will not be shutting down, and no one will be losing their jobs,” said John Rogers, who became president of the board on Sunday after an internal shake-up. Last week, the board’s acting managers announced major changes, staff layoffs, and the closure of Libra House, one of two transition houses for women fleeing abusive relationships. The Ishtar Society was one of the first groups in North America to open such transition houses. Former acting operations director Pat Romanin told the Langley Advance, both verbally and via email, that the society was scaling back due to a murder, an overdose death, and other incidents. “In the past year alone we have had a murder of a single mother in one house followed by a drug overdose death of a preg-

nant woman,” the email said. She added that incidents of “violence and/or threats of violence” were increasing. Yet the murder never took place. Langley RCMP, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, and the B.C. Coroners’ Service were all contacted in the days since, and none had any record of a murder matching the one described by Romanin. Staff at Ishtar were unaware of any murders, either. Karen Tankard of the BCGEU contacted a worker at Ishtar. “That was news to her,” she said of a reported murder. The worker Tankard spoke to is a full-time employee, she said. The new Ishtar Society president confirmed that the original claims were false. “No murders have ever taken place in any of our premises,” John Rogers said Monday. He confirmed that Romanin and acting managing director Brian Zeiner are now no longer with the society. Rogers said the board has also accepted the resignation of former president Rian Martin, and other board members have left as well. Rogers said that the vote last week in favour of the shutdown of Libra House, the layoffs of staff, and the streamlining of services, have been overturned. A minority group on the board that

opposed the shutdown plans has now become the majority, Rogers said. There was an ongoing investigation to fact-check the claims made by Romanin in last week’s statement, he said. As soon as Romanin’s statement was made public, a flood of emails came to board members disproving some of the claims, he said. He could not yet say whether or not there had ever been a fatal overdose, or whether or not the claims of increased violence were true. In the absence of their two top managers, some board members will temporarily take over those roles until new management could be hired, said Rogers. He said Ishtar was committed to more transparency, to working with their staff and with BC Housing, and to continuing to provide services to women in need. “It’s something we’re very passionate about,” Rogers said. “No one wants to see those houses close.” The initial announcement of planned closures last week blamed the “murder” and violence on the provincial government. Romanin’s press release said drug addicts and the mentally ill were being sent to Ishtar by provincial authorities. The planned streamlining was meant to focus on the core mission of serving abused women with all services moved to the transition house in Langley City.

Industrial solvents from a drug lab have contaminated Langley properties.

Two Canadians from Chilliwack are in an American prison after apparently mistakenly crossing the border at Aldergrove with meth-making equipment in their car. Just after 7 p.m., a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am arrived at the crossing headed south into Lynden, Washington. The car was singled out for an inspection, and officers found what they described as a “boxed clandestine drug

lab” on the back seat. Bellingham Police used a robot armed with a camera to check out the car, including the trunk. Among other items, they found gas cans duct-taped shut, strainers and bottles with white residue inside, and canisters full of chemicals. The two occupants of the car, Calum James Buchanan, 41, and Lola Crystal McKay, 24, have both been arrested for the unlawful manufacture of methamphetamine. It seems that the duo may not have wanted to head into the States at all. According to court documents, Buchanan told police he was being paid $500 to deliver the equipment to a third party in Canada.

AMENITIES

Burst pipe floods seniors A burst pipe at the Langley Seniors Centre will impact many people. HEATHER COLPITTS hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The Langley Seniors’ Resource Centre will be closed until at least Wednesday and must undergo extensive repair after a pipe burst over the weekend. A maintenance person arrived Sunday evening to find the damage. “There was water gushing out,” said Shannon Woykin, the centre’s development and marketing coordinator. A restoration company was on site Monday morning to assess the damage and start the repair process. Fans were whirling to start drying out walls but the lower portions must be removed due to water damage. The burst pipe was over the kitchen so the utilities

had to be shut off. The water was mostly contained to the kitchen, and cafeteria seating area. There’s also some ceiling damage. The hall is stacked high with food, chairs, dishes, utensils and more. Executive director Shelley Wells said a key concern is all the food in the fridges and freezers because the power must be off while the building is assessed. “Any way people can help is welcome,” she said. “Any ideas or support are appreciated.” Freezer and fridge space would be a huge help so thousands of dollars worth of food purchased for upcoming events and catering won’t have to be thrown away. It’s a busy time of year at the centre. Woykin said in the colder weather, more seniors like to head to the centre. There’s often a line waiting for the cafeteria to open. Another impact will be the centre’s catering, an

important revenue source for the non-profit society. The centre will be closed until at least Wednesday and programs will be impacted after that. Wells said the centre will strive to offer what it can over the holidays, even if it’s just a place for seniors to gather and sit for a warm drink and a snack in the lobby. The adult day program is done in a building in downtown Langley City. The program will continue but the meals the centre provided will be obtained elsewhere temporarily. Langley Meals on Wheels is based out of

the centre which supplies it with sandwiches and will be able to continue is operations. The centre at 20605 51B Ave. can be reached at 604-530-3020. Find out more at lsrs.ca. Watch the Langley Advance for information about what the community can do to help the centre. The centre offers a variety of programs and services for seniors, including recreation, the adult day centre, outreach, meals, tours and trips, a secondhand store, entertainment, and more.

MURDER

Body identified The man whose body was found in rural Langley was from Edmonton. MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Murder investigators have identified the dead man found in Langley Tuesday as David Thanh Lam, a 34year-old from Edmonton. Lam’s burned body was discovered by a passerby Tuesday morning in the 24700 block of 64th Avenue, south of Highway One near the 248th Street overpass. The site was at the bottom of a steep slope on a dead end road. According to Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, Lam was known to police and has a criminal record dating back to 1998. Lam’s family have been notified of his death. “The cause of death will remain holdback evidence, and while the motive has not been confirmed, investigators believe it to be linked to criminal activity,” said Pound. Anyone with information is asked to contact the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448, or, to remain anonymous call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Join us into the future

f you’re a regular reader of the Langley Advance, you will probably have noticed a few changes by now. We’ve given ourselves a little bit of a facelift – a nip here, a tuck there, and a bit of a freshening-up all around. None of this means that we’re going to stop doing what we’ve been doing for the past 83 years. On the contrary, this is really just a part of our continuing commitment to serve the community that has served us so well all of these years. The changes in the printed version of your community newspaper are intended to reflect both the changing communications environment that surrounds us all, as well as the way local news gathering and disseminating continues to change. In other words, we intend to keep doing what we’ve been doing since 1931 – providing our community with information and the interactive forum that make community newspapers essential to a healthy community – but we’ll keep working on doing it better. The reality of community journalism over the past eight decades has taken our readers from mostly words printed on newsprint, into the advent of black-andwhite photojournalism, past an explosion of colour, and most recently into the virtually unlimited internet, where we’ve been providing web-savvy Langleyites with their local news at www.langleyadvance.com since 2000. First a few hundreds of you turned our pages electronically, and now you number in the tens of thousands. Our web-space reality is now augmented with our social media entries: “follow us” (on Twitter @LangleyAdvance) and “like us” (on Facebook.com/ LangleyAdvance) are familiar entries in Langley’s community journalism lexicon. The terrain may look a little different, but this is not unfamiliar territory for community journalism. The web and social media are just improved tools to do what we’ve done the past 83 years. A healthy community stays in communication with itself, to build on its strengths and to improve on its weaknesses. Today’s new look is about your community newspaper helping to continue building, to emphasize the many ways the Langley Advance is here for Langley. – B.G.

New look draws on news evolution

e’ve treated ourselves to a bit of a face-lift. Newspapers do that from time to time, partly to shake things up a bit for our readers, partly to update the overall appearance so we don’t look like we’re all old codgers working here, and partly to reflect the changing reality of how we do what we do. This is not the first “redesign” that I’ve gone through in my 38 years at the Langley Advance (geez! really!?? 38 years!?? and I just tried to convince you I’m not an old codger? sheesh!). When I started reporting news in Langley, colour pictures in the paper were a rare thing – usually only for the Christmas edition. And here’s the reason why: when I was assigned to take my first Christmas cover photo… it was in October. It took that long to send the colour slides to Toronto to be developed, get them back, and then send them out again for colour separations – separate plates were made of each basic colour in the picture, to be remixed on the press. Naturally, the fashions governing newspaper production then were a little different than they are today. And when I started, the Advance was already nearly 50 years old. All the leadtype equipment was still stored in the back, but I was already in the photo-typsetting era – one step from computers.

Letters to the editor Douglas Day memorable

Dear Editor, November 19 was again a day for us to remember: the day British Columbia was declared a province by James Douglas. After attending the excellent Langley Township and City Douglas Day pioneer lunch at the Langley Events Centre, the mayors and other dignitaries came to the annual celebration at Fort Langley where, in 1858, New Caledonia became British Columbia. This year we were honoured to have B.C. Lieutenant Governor Judith Guichon in attendance.

The afternoon was delightful, with the RCMP in serge, the Kwantlen drummers with Chief Marilyn Gabriel, and piper Colin Barrett piping in the procession. Our fort volunteers were impressive in 1858 dress. The event was sponsored by the fort (Parks Canada) and the Fort Langley Legacy Foundation. Superintendent Reg Wilford, Mike Starr, and the staff were most welcoming hosts. It was fun! Bays Blackhall, Fort Langley Legacy Foundation

than 150 cadets, our officers, and our volunteer sponsoring committee, we extend our sincere appreciation to the community for its continued support. We are now in our 51st year and it would not be possible without the generosity of our community. Judy Montano, 746 Squadron Sponsoring Committee

Referendum unfair

Dear Editor, LNG, Site C, The Massey Replacement – each is going to make a dent in taxpayers’ pockets to the tune of billions of dollars. Despite the cost, no referendum is being held to ask whether the electorate desired these expenditures. In fact, many feel these projects will hurt the environment. There will be, however, a referendum on a basic right for British Columbians: transit. In Seattle, when their referendum was lost, massive cuts ensued to this important service. HandyDART passengers are not receiving the service they deserve, due to a funding freeze. HandyDART users are being forced to suffer with band-aid solutions that would not be acceptable to the able-bodied community. No reasonable person questions the benefit of safe, standardized public transportation seniors and disabled people. If the referendum is lost, the provincial government will force TransLink to decimate transit. Christy Clark is gambling with the future of HandyDART. Hopefully the public will vote in favour of funding for this essential service. Mark Beeching, Langley

When we first revealed that thieves had again stolen the Christmas in Williams Park decorations, and disheartened organizers planned to wait until next year before trying again, readers responded like this: Liz Munk Knight – Too bad there were no video surveillance. They will be trying to sell some of these Christmas things. Keep an eye on Craigslist and kijiji, for a lot of the stolen stuff.

“Wave your antlers”

Jon MacKinnon – This is very disappointing.

As the Langley Advance helped start crowd source funding (get on board at www. langleyadvance.com), community-spirited people like 9-year-old Sara Walmsley took the initiative to help out, it’s beginning to look like Christmas in Williams Park, after all. In fact, one of the subsequent comments says it all: Andrea Senff – That’s terrific!!!!

The motorcycle dealership at 8859 201 St. hosted pet photos with Santa, with proceeds going to the Langley Animal Protection Society (laps.ca). While animals of all species had their photos taken, it was the ones from the canine family that were the most prominent.

CHRISTMAS STORE

Nicomekl elves busy

Donations are being welcomed for a one-day Christmas store at Nicomekl Elementary. HEATHER COLPITTS hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The students of Nicomekl Elementary will be going shopping on Dec. 17. While not unusual, they will be shopping for others and the lesson to be learned is about the joy of giving. The school has its Santa’s Workshop store, this year decorated in a gingerbread theme. Students, no matter their economic circumstances, select one gift for each member of their household and even get it gift wrapped. Santa, who was able to fit a visit to the school into his busy schedule in 2013, will again make an appearance on that day to tour the classes to talk to students about the joy of giving. “When I went to school, we did a store like this,” head elf Sarah Bess Miller said. This helps the kids go from “me, me, me” to thinking about others and the joy they receive from giving. “We collect donations all the way up to Dec. 10,” Miller explained. Then Santa’s helpers (a.k.a. Miller and other volunteers) ready the store which will be open Dec. 17, which just happens to fall right before the annual Christmas pancake breakfast cooked up by teachers. Donations from the public are welcome. What is needed: • gently used items appropriate for stu-

(Think regifting.) Miller noted that people are asked not to donate clothes and shoes because children don’t understand how to pick the right sizes for others. As well, there is always an abundance of toys donated. Donations are accepted when it’s in operation (about 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.) at 200th Street and 53rd Avenue, and email Miller to make arrangements outside of those hours (sarahbess@cmexp.com).

CHRISTMAS DISPLAY

Community gets behind light effort A Langley girl is joining the effort to save Christmas in Williams Park. MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A nine-year-old Langley girl has launched an effort to help save Christmas in Williams Park. Sara Walmsley made up her mind while she was leaning over her mother Brie’s shoulder, reading the Langley Advance. She read about how thieves had stolen thousands of dollars worth of lights, for the second year in a row, and how organizers had feared they would have to completely cancel the annual two-week event. “Once I read that, I wanted to do something right away,” Sara said. She decided to ask people to bring their spare lights or extension cords

to her school, Alex Hope Elementary in Walnut Grove. She and friends put up posters, at the school and around the community. Her principal has allowed her to make announcements over the school PA, as well. The annual two-week event invites people to enjoy the decorated park through a weekend of festivities, hot chocolate, entertainment, and a visit from Santa Claus at the end. Sara’s efforts are one campaign among several that have sprung up to help the non-profit Christmas in Williams Park Society. After the second theft was publicized, locals began coming forward with offers of help. Society president Barb Sharp is now hopeful that at least a partial event can be organized with some new fundraising. “There’s a groundswell kind of starting,” Sharp said. Sharp is encouraged by all the help and donations. If the society can put

together some more funding and a few more volunteers, it could still run a two-week event, though the weekend festivities might still be out of the question. Sharp expected to be able to make a final decision by Tuesday. Local businesses, including the Langley Advance, are helping by acting as drop-off points for LED lights. Just over the border in Surrey, Kore Irrigation and Lighting, 19140 28th Ave., has set aside space for donated LED Christmas lights (the old incandescent lights can blow out fuses at Williams Park). Kore is open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. The Langley Advance offices are at 6375 202nd St. and are open 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays. There is an online funding campaign at FundAid.ca/savechristmas to buy more lights.

Upper front teeth protrude excessively over the lower teeth, or are bucked. Upper front teeth cover the majority of the lower teeth when biting together (deep bite).

Absolutely! A child experiences a feeling of loss as any adult would and it’s important for them to be able to say “good bye” if they want to.

Upper front teeth are behind or inside the lower front teeth (underbite). The upper and lower front teeth do not touch when biting together (open bite). Crowded or overlapped teeth. The center of the upper and lower teeth do not line up.

want to take a few medications with you in case you get sick from the food or water. Otherwise healthy adults can take PeptoBismol to help calm an upset stomach, and Imodium to help treat a mild case of diarrhea without fever, abdominal cramping or blood in stool. These severe cases of diarrhea can be treated with a prescription from your doctor, which you can take along with you. As with all medications, always follow the instructions. To avoid getting sick in the first place, consider taking the oral vaccine Dukoral. It helps your body fight the bacteria that causes diarrhea, giving you more time to enjoy your holiday. If you’d like more information, we’re always happy to help. Happy travels!

ASK the EXPERTS

Q: What are the advantages of buying

Q: I am heading down to the states

a higher quality paint?

for the weekend, do I need travel insurance?

A: A higher quality paint will be more

durable for everyday use. You can expect less preparation and a longer-lasting finish. Improved flowing agents will help your paint level and minimize brush and roller marks. A high quality paint will help your bright colours stay bright longer and increase the longevity of your paint. Water-based latex paints will make for easy application and clean up. A builtin primer will help your paint’s hide and improve coverage, so you need fewer coats. Mildew resistance and excellent adhesion makes a higher quality paint the right choice for any job you’re about to take on. I recommend trying our Dulux “Diamond” brand!

Definitely! No one plans on getting sick or injured on vacation, but sometimes it is unavoidable.

When buying a house, how do we know whether it has been previously used as a grow op?

Check with your local municipal/city hall to see if they have any record on file. 1. If the home has been knowingly used as a grow – op the Seller MUST disclose this before you put an offer on the house. 2. If the home has been rehabbed, ask for all invoices/ guarantees and copies of municipal paperwork. 3. What to look for when viewing homes – A “Beware of Dog”sign, excess moisture in the house, a “skunky” smell, freshly painted basements, check the hydro meter for any tampering and most of all. Talk to the neighbours, they will tell you anything they know about the house and the odd comings and goings of the occupants!. 4. Choose a House Inspector that has experience in looking for telltale signs of something usual! 5. And always hire a Buyer’s Agent who will have YOUR best interests in mind first and foremost.

Vees ventilate ’Men

Langley’s junior A hockey team has a few days to regroup from Friday’s shellacking at the hands of the mighty Penticton Vees.

The best part about the Langley Rivermen’s B.C. Hockey League game against the Penticton Vees on Friday is that it’s over. The league-leading Vees came into the Langley Events Centre and trounced the Rivermen 6-0. Shut out in two of their last three games, the Rivermen have been unable to generate much offense, scoring three goals in the past 180 minutes of hockey. “It was a tough loss,” Langley forward Marcus Vela said. “We got into penalty trouble early. They’ve got a good power play and took it to us. From there it just continued; the penalties kept coming and it just wasn’t our day today.” The Rivermen played a physical game but also took 11 penalties, including the first four of the game, and gave up a trio of power play goals. The Vees started the scoring just three minutes in as Miles Gendron beat Bo Didur for the game’s opening goal. They proceeded to tack on five more and received some solid goaltending from Brendan Barry, who turned aside 24 shots for his second shutout of the season. “Overall, I was happy with our effort,” Vees head coach and general manager Fred Harbinson said. “This is a nice road win for us in a tough place to play and we’re glad we came away with a win.”

“They’ve got a very solid team,” Vela said. “They know how to work together and know how to exploit your weaknesses. We just have to tighten up our end and we’ll be okay.” The loss dropped the Rivermen’s record to 13-10-1-3. Despite losing to West Kelowna on Saturday, the Vees remain on top of the Interior Divison, and the entire BCHL, with a 23-4-0-1 mark. Rivermen 3, Surrey Eagles 1 The Surrey Eagles are having a season for the ages – for all the wrong reasons. The Rivermen kept the Eagles grounded by beating them 3-1 last Wednesday, Nov. 26, at South Surrey Arena. The Eagles are far and away the worst team in the B.C. Hockey League, with a 3-20-0-3 mark. Even so, they put up a good fight against the Rivermen, outshooting the visitors 38-31, including 14-6 in a scoreless third period. All the scoring was done in the opening frame, with the Eagles drawing first blood on a goal from Latrell Charleson at the 3:38 mark. That was followed by three unanswered goals by the Rivermen in the final five minutes and change of the period. Zac Masson 14:43 into the period, Evan Anderson exactly two minutes later, and Jacob Kearley with 37 seconds to go before the intermission gave the Rivermen all they needed for the victory. ICE CHIPS: The Rivermen have a date with the Mainland Division-leading Chilliwack Chiefs at Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre on Wednesday night. The Chiefs – who occupied the Mainland cellar in 2013/14 with a 14-372-5 mark – are 17-8-0-1 so far this season.

We might not be able to save the entire celebration that had been planned but, with your help, maybe we can buy enough lights to bring the Christmas magic back to Williams Park this year.
