CHRISTMAS KETTLES

Langley’s Toots dedicated volunteer Eighty-two-year-old Toots Tucker is there when called upon by the Salvation Army.

Reliable and willilng volunteers like Toots Tucker are essential in making the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope’s kettle campaign a success.

TROY LANDREVILLE tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

Ask Troy Gaglardi and he’ll tell you: the world needs more Toots Tuckers.

Toots, and others like her, are loyal volunteers with the Salvation Army’s Christmas Kettle Campaign.

Their dedication puts a smile on the face of Gaglardi, the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope’s director of community services.

“Toots does a lot of shifts,” Gaglardi said. “Not only does she go on the kettle shifts about four or five times, she helps us with our events.”

Toots chimed in, “I’ve been in the [Gateway of Hope] kitchen and I’ve poured coffee… whatever needs doing.”

For the local kettle campaign to be successful, at least 300 additional volunteers are needed to fill in two-hour time slots from now until Dec. 24, Gaglardi says.

There are 20-plus locations across the Langleys as well as in Aldergrove that require volunteers who will stand by the red kettles, greet passers-by,

Troy Landreville Langley Advance

and thank them for their donations.

Toots, 82, does what she can, and would love to see others lend their time to the cause.

She started manning Salvation Army kettles roughly eight years ago, not long after her husband Lloyd passed away.

Her motivation is simple.

“I just love people,” Toots said. “Langley is my home and Langley is my family. You help family, right?”

Gaglardi described Toots as a

“model volunteer,” noting that the Gateway of Hope “would not run” without those who are willing to help out for free.

For every staff member at Gateway, there are three volunteers.

“Brenda [Vanderhorst], our volunteer coordinator, is in touch with her [Toots] a lot and is asking her to help out in all kinds of areas,” Gaglardi said.

“Obviously she’s not available at every little turn but she makes sure that she’s here.”

“And I get wonderful hugs,” Toots said.

Potential kettle volunteers need to fill out an application form with their name, address, contact number, dates of availability, and the names of two references who may be contacted.

Application forms are available online at gatewayofhope. ca/volunteer-opportunities/ and then clicking on the “sign up to be a kettle volunteer” tab, or can be sent via email at kettles@gatewayofhope.ca.

Gaglardi said two hours is the standard shift: “It’s a length that people can do, it’s not too much, and they don’t get overtired.”

Every cent that drops into Langley kettle slots is allocated to Gateway of Hope programs such as cooking classes, as well as food, and items such as blankets, shoes, and socks.

“That means the food we get for the feeding program, if we have people in any of the training classes, it all funds those things,” Gaglardi said.

Last year’s campaign generated $180,000 in donations and Gaglardi said the bar has been raised.

“We’d like to see $225,000 this year,” he said.

“We want to get those programs solid. We’re a little bit stressed right now.” > More: langleyadvance.com, search ‘Toots’

BUDGET POLICE

Spat over RCMP fundraising begins again A Township motion calls on the City to hire more Mounties.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

While Langley Township works through its budget pro-

cess, it might ask Langley City to put up more money for policing.

At budget discussions on Nov. 16, Township Councillor Angie Quaale put forward the idea of asking the City to hire more officers.

The Langley RCMP covers both the City and Township, but each community can pay to add officers to the local detach-

ment.

Quaale said the City hasn’t hired new police officers in two years. The Township is looking at adding two officers in this year’s budget.

“The bottom line is, we share a police force, so we both have to contribute to it,” said Quaale.

Langley Township has a much larger population than the City, but the City, as the more

urbanized area, has a higher crime rate.

There have been frequent disputes in years past over how to deal with the City-Township budget split on the RCMP. The City has usually preferred to keep costs based on population. The Township has argued that the City uses up more policing resources. >more at langleyadvance.com

ANIMAL WELFARE

Dog retires a blood donor ‘hero’ Ember is donating blood for the last time on Saturday.

ROXANNE HOOPER rhooper@langleyadvance.com

Blood is in people to give, or so the Canadian Blood Service reminds folks regularly.

But while there are often efforts afoot to encourage humans to donate blood, few would realize there’s a similar service available in Langley to help the canine population.

Ember Von Der Sinburg knows it well. In fact, the eight-year-old German shepherd purebred is being honoured this weekend for having helped save the lives of more than 20 dogs through her ongoing donations of blood.

Ember is active in canine agility and sports clubs, carting, and nose work.

She recently moved from Aldergrove to Abbotsford with her humans – April and Brian Spiess – as well as her canine siblings Wink (a three-year-old Australian cattle dog) and Sasha (a twoyear-old border collie cross).

But she’ll be making the

Brian and April Spiess are pretty proud of their German shepherd, Ember. The dog has donated blood 20 times in the past six years.

Her canine siblings, Sasha and Wink, are too small to donate. trek back to Langley this weekend to give one last blood donation at Langley’s Animal Emergency Clinic of the Fraser Valley.

Over the course of the past few years, Ember has donated blood almost every three months for a total of 20 times at the animal hospital.

Once a dog reaches eight years old they are classified as a senior in the canine world, and they typically have to stop donating because it’s harder for them to bounce back, Spiess explained. Even though that doesn’t appear to be the case yet for Ember – who is still very active – she will be retiring after her final donation on Saturday.

“I know they want to do something special for her,”

Spiess said of the clinic staff, noting her dog has always been excited about visiting the hospital – even though Ember knows she has to be hooked up and lie still for anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes at a time.

“She just loves people and other dogs, and she is so receptive to helping,” Spiess said.

Without question, she explained, it’s a lot of work to be a participant. In addition to ensuring the dog maintains a healthy lifestyle, there’s the issue of keeping up specific feeding habits.

“But, it is so important,” Spiess added. “It makes you feel good that you’re actually helping other animals… and if I ever get another dog over 50 pounds, I’ll do it again.”

Spiess has been active in the dog community for the past two decades, and was aware of such services offered in the U.S. before.

But she first learned of a blood donation service for dogs being available in the Lower Mainland about nine years ago while attending a pet fair in Vancouver.

She did some research, and discovered an emergency clinic in Langley offered an on-demand program.

“This dog has saved lives,” Spiess said, encouraging others dog owners to consider signing up their pets as donors.

The local program is open to both dogs and cats, and has been running at the local animal emergency clinic for close to a decade, explained blood service coordinator Andrea Dyck.

“Most of our donors have never hit 20, so it’s a big thing for us, and a big thing for Ember,” Dyck said. “This is a milestone… For us to honour Ember and to recognize all the pets she’s saved, we’re pretty dang proud of her. She’s our hero.”

For those interested in finding out more about donating, they can email Andrea Dyck at donateblood@shaw.ca. >more at langleyadvance.com

DRIVING

Pedestrian hit by one-ton truck Police are issuing their annual warning to be cautious.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

Const. Anton Schupp is one of the Langley officers who investigates accidents – including pedestrians being struck.

An accident last week in rural Langley saw a pedestrian suffer serious injuries after he was hit by a truck.

The 29-year-old Abbotsford man was struck near the intersection of 72nd Avenue and 232nd Street just after

5 p.m. on Nov. 12.

A GMC Sierra with dual wheels was heading northbound on 232nd and hit a pedestrian who crossed in front of his vehicle. The driver stayed at the scene, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The victim was in serious but stable condition, and his injuries were life threatening.

Increased hours of darkness and rain mean more danger for pedestrians at this time of year.

“It’s a case of both sides having to be vigilant when they’re using

the roadways,” said Const. Anton Schupp, a Langley Mountie who has investigated many traffic accidents, including pedestrians being struck.

“Typically, the injuries can tend to be more severe, because the pedestrian doesn’t have a whole lot of protection against the vehicle,” he said.

There isn’t a typical pedestrian accident, but Schupp said the victims usually seem to be adults, and that dark clothing, busy commuting hours, and crossing away from the crosswalks can lead to an incident.

“Take the extra minute, use the crosswalks,” Schupp said.

He’s always worried when he sees people run across 200th Street at 68th Avenue – a location where a pedestrian overpass was built several years ago.

Schupp shakes his head thinking about it.

“Knock on wood, I haven’t seen anything there yet,” he said.

“There’s a reason that overpass was built.”

Drivers need to be aware of pedestrians and cyclists, too.

“There’s not just other cars on the road,” he said.

RCMP

RCMP arrest alleged gunman A crash and a shooting are believed to be linked.

MATTHEW CLAXTON mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Mounties are looking for more witnesses to help them investigate a shooting in rural Milner.

Just after 1 a.m. on Nov. 11, a man appeared at the Langley Memorial Hospital Emergency room with multiple gunshot wounds.

The victim had serious injuries but is expected to survive, said Cpl. Holly Largy, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. Investigators believe the wounded man is related to an incident that took place 10 minutes previously at Springbrook Drive and Glover Road.

A white Dodge Avenger crashed through a concrete barricade and came to rest on the east side of the nearby railroad tracks, said Largy. The driver walked away but was found by police dogs in nearby bushes. He was not injured. Police believe that the Avenger driver, a 36-year-old Langley man, was responsible for the shooting.

He was arrested and remains in police custody, Largy said.

“We believe that there is a drug component,” Largy said of a possible motive.

While several people have spoken to police about what they saw at Glover and Springbrook, there was also a witness, a South Asian man, who may have also seen the incident but left before police arrived. Investigators would like to speak to him to gather more information.

Police are also trying to find out more about a dark-coloured vehicle that stopped near the Dodge Avenger crash shortly after it took place, Largy said.

Anyone with information on the shooting and surrounding incidents is asked to call the Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. >Read more at langleyadvance.com

appeared Sunday as part of a group of four hopefuls on the CBC game show. He came away victorious and will be one of the seven people competing this Sunday in the two-hour finale.

Things started out looking rough for Vander-Hoek, a teacher at Johnston Heights Secondary in Surrey.

In the opening word game, he didn’t do well.

“I was surprised,” Vander-Hoek said. “I was definitely thrown off. It was all about the rally.”

He did rally, dominating in a physical intelligence challenge, then taking more points in a quick math game called Portfolio Pro. The math challenge involved relatively simple equations – competitors had to subtract, multiply or calculate a percentage, then dump coins representing the number into a bin. But they had just 10 seconds to do the math and get the money counted.

“It’s all about how do you do it,” VanderHoek said.

At the halfway mark, Vander-Hoek was tied for the lead.

As a teacher who has composed songs about chemistry to help teach his students, Vander-Hoek’s next challenge, a karaoke contest, played to his strengths.

He won and then handily defeated the

other highest-scoring contestant in a headto-head elimination involving a number of small challenges backto-back.

Vander-Hoek watched the event with a large group of friends at a local pub on Sunday night, and he’s planning to get together with some people to watch the finale this coming weekend too.

He can’t talk about what happens in the final, but his participation has helped him connect with his students in a new way, he said.

response was ‘Yeah, so?’” Vander-Hoek recalled.

He applied in May and heard back from the producers, who ran him through a number of tests via Skype.

They included mental math problems and spatial and word puzzles, all timed.

The finale has already been filmed, but Vander-Hoek can’t reveal how he did until after it airs on Sunday.

“It was the most fun I’ve ever had, easily,” he said of filming the show.

Good digital citizens our best hope

T

“Children and youth spend so much of their lives online and on social media, which means cyberbullying has the potential to affect thousands of young lives in a variety of negative ways,” said representative Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond.

She’s not wrong. For those who haven’t been harassed online, it may be hard to understand how horrifying it can be.

Imagine if everywhere you went – in school or at work, on the street, in your home – random people walked up and insulted you in the vilest language, threatened you with rape or death, or told you to kill yourself.

We would never tolerate that kind of behaviour in the physical world.

But in many cases, those facing serious online harassment have to deal with those kinds of comments invading their lives through email, Facebook, Twitter, and the other social networking sites where we spend much of our day-to-day lives now.

The report points out that any response to online bullying has to be multifaceted.

One thing the report emphasizes is the need to teach young people how to behave online in ways that are respectful of others.

That sounds like a pretty good lesson for students across this province. And also for a lot of adults.

It might be too late for the older generation, but maybe the next generation can build a better online community.

Terrorism’s cruel worthlessness

T

errorism doesn’t work, unless we let it work.

People much, much smarter and more knowledgeable than myself have made this point, over and over and over again. But today we’re going to make it with numbers.

The horrific Paris attacks last Friday night killed, as of this writing, 129 people. More were wounded, some severely. As a personal tragedy, for the victims and their families, this is a shockingly effective attack.

On a historic scale, however, it’s pathetic. There is no possible way that shooting up a concert hall, some restaurants, and setting off a few suicide bombs can in any way damage the French Republic. ISIS has not damaged France’s military, its economy, or its diplomatic clout.

While we will, and should, grieve with the victims, we should also be rolling our eyes at the sad, miserable, uselessness of ISIS’s attack.

Compare a terrorist attack – any terrorist attack – to an actual military assault on a major western country.

We can use the Blitz as a good comparison.

Between September 1940 and May 1941, Nazi Germany attacked Britain with all of its available air power, launching bombing raids on major cities, targeting industrial centres, ports,

railways, and civilians in an attempt to crush British morale and ability to fight.

The Blitz was horrific.

More than 40,000 people were killed. Whole areas of London were devastated.

Some smaller port towns like Hull saw up to 95 per cent of their housing utterly destroyed. Coventry was gutted, Liverpool was half-smashed. Thousands MATTHEW of Londoners spent their nights sleeping in Tube stations or on firewatch on the roofs of buildings, trying to douse incendiary bombs.

Yet Hitler’s Germany – then one of the most powerful, most aggressive, most industrially advanced nations in the world – utterly failed in its goals.

Damaged factories were repaired.

Craters in RCAF runways were filled in, usually within hours. Every time there was a serious attack, the number of people volunteering for the Home Guard or donating money to Spitfire Funds actually increased.

In other words, every time Hitler attacked, he only increased the determination to beat him.

This is exactly what happens after modern terrorist attacks. There is resistance on the official level – increased sec-

Painful Truth

he internet was supposed to give us all new ways to connect and to access a limitless amount of information.

It did that, along with giving us as many cat photos as we could possibly need.

But the dark side of the internet has turned up as well. Early on, there were predictions of privacy issues and hackers, and those have come true. But very few people predicted the rise of cyberbullying and online harassment.

A new report from the province’s Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner and the Representative for Children and Youth suggests a provincial strategy is needed to prevent and mitigate the effects of cyberbullying for B.C.’s young people.

urity and/or retaliation – and the public’s disdain for the attacker’s goals increases.

ISIS is a horrible organization. They kill almost indiscriminately – the majority of their victims in Syria and Iraq have been Muslims, as were some of the victims of the Paris attacks. They have a particularly ugly ideology, and calling it medieval would be an insult to the CLAXTON actual middle ages. They have a penchant for stonings, beheadings, and crucifixions.

But they aren’t Hitler’s Germany.

They are considerably less of a threat.

They don’t have an air force. They are, when it comes right down to it, a bunch of angry schmucks with AK-47s, pickup trucks, and a major grudge against anyone having fun. The Paris attacks are likely the high-water mark of what they’ll be able to achieve in attacks on Western nations.

In the meantime, efforts will redouble to stop ISIS, and not just military efforts, but through intelligence and security work, through cutting off their sources of funding and their streams of recruits, through preventing radicalization. ISIS is another example of the failure of terror.

Letters to the editor

Bank relocation compounds misery Dear Editor, Okay, I will try to put this nicely, but what in the flying hawk is up with all the vacancies in the Langley City core?

I see all kinds of new high-end residential construction, but yet more and more commercial “space for lease” signs.

Maybe that is just collateral damage left over from the Harper administration.

But the sign of ignorant times that now disturbs us, is the one about to be posted at “My bank who shall remain nameless” at the downtown Langley mall. You know, the one that many of us of limited means have been dealing with for years, but apparently, no matter how hard we try, we simply can’t leave enough on deposit to make it work for them anymore.

Matthew Claxton/Langley Advance

One letter writer is wondering what happened to the social convention of men removing their hats at certain points during Remembrance Day.

Hats off for veterans Dear Editor, Did they just forget?

My congratulations to the organizers and the participants of the Remembrance Day ceremony at the Fort Langley cenotaph on Nov. 11.

The service was well organized and even the sunshine acknowledged the importance of the gathering.

The large crowd that gathered to show their respect for those who gave their lives for democracy represented all ages.

It was especially nice to see young families attending.

I was surprised by the number of males in the crowd who did not remove their hats during the singing of O Canada, God Save the Queen, and the prayers during the ceremony.

Is this sign of respect a tradition that is passé or did they just forget?

Jim Deacon, Fort Langley

Of course, being a bank and all, it would never be only about the money. But isn’t it great to see all this unaffordable-for-most-of-us luxury housing being built for those who can afford it?

That means we got more rich people coming to town.

Oh goody!

Only now they get to miss out on some of their deposits too, boohoo.

We certainly aren’t looking for sympathy, but for those of us without the silver-economically-viable-spoon, at the other end of the socio-economic spectrum, struggling to simply survive with a disability, this sucks.

We will now be forced another step down into an even lower standard of life all because we can’t afford and don’t want to change our bank, or add the trip to Willowbrook mall to our busy schedules.

It isn’t so much that we don’t appreciate the joy of an additional erosion of our high quality time joyfully waiting for the bus to get there, both ways.

Or basically four times the extra special convenience of the walk to and from those bus stops.

Not to mention scraping up the bus fare somehow, or dumpster diving to get there.

I guess we could take it out of our kids’ lunch money.

But what about those of us who can’t do either in the first place?

Those without any options?

Those who don’t have a dime “on deposit” the day after “Welly Wednesday,” or don’t have an E-vehicle?

Or do have a flat on our bike? What are we supposed to do?

Walk?

But the best part of this adventure, is that whatever way we get there will also involve the additional challenge of surviving the treacherous parade of distracted drivers along 200th Street or Fraser, and across Hwy 10, where pedestrians and cyclists exactly like us regularly get killed.

Of course, the bank officials I just talked to try to blow this off, a.k.a. explain it away by saying they have to move because “they can’t expand in that location.”

And in the next sentence, “Don’t worry, all the employees from here will be moving their good, secure jobs there to serve you better.”

And the real heart-warmer, “But we are still going to have an ATM here for your convenience.”

Well, gee, little Ms. Corporate inconvenience.

Aren’t we blessed.

Happy “serve-us charges” everyone.

Danny Halmo, Langley City

The Langley Advance brought readers an exclusive story about pilot George Miller and the Fraser Blues doing the official flypast on Remembrance Day, and sharing why the day is important to this ex-air force member. Readers weigh in: “One of the highlights of living in lower Murrayville is being able to watch George and his team take to the sky for practice....you hear multiple airplane engines followed closely by the stomping of my kids feet as they run to the upper deck to watch. I’m never too far behind. Thanks for being such an important part of six different local Remembrance Day ceremonies.

– Sherryl Parsons “Great flyover today! Thank you for doing this, but please be careful.”

– Glen Leiper “Excellent flyover today. George is an incredible guy!”

Parking floods in condos

An apartment complex in Langley City suffered a flood due to a ruptured water line early Monday afternoon.

The flood hit the two Bayberry apartment buildings in the 20890 block of 57th Avenue, said assistant Langley City fire chief Pete Methot.

Some cars were in a couple of feet of water, Methot said.

The water was slowly draining within a short time after the pipe was shut off, and Langley City officials were setting up a temporary new water supply.

The building was briefly evacuated during the flooding after alarms went off, but there were no injuries.

Pre-Christmas appearance: Two-year-old Emma Hoggan wasn’t so sure about Santa Claus, who visited The Christmas Show last weekend at the Langley Events Centre’s Fieldhouse. Meanwhile (above) Michelle Jacobsen and Kristin Passi of Langley-based Cupcake Soaps were among the vendors taking part.

Langley realtors, builders, and retailers helping.

MICHAELA GARSTIN news@langleyadvance.com

Langley residents are giving their annual gift of warmth this holiday season through a few different blanket and coat drives.

Each year, thousands of people in need receive blankets, coats, and other winter clothing that are dropped off at locations throughout the community.

Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, for instance, is holding its 23rd annual Realtor’s Care Blanket Drive until Nov. 23.

Items collected benefit the Gateway of Hope, a shelter run by the Salvation Army; the Ishtar Transition Housing Society, a service for women and children fleeing domestic violence; and Wagner Hills Ministry, a residential treatment and counselling centre for men with drug and alcohol addictions.

“Donate some warm socks, a sweater, or a blanket and you’ve just helped someone desperately in need,” said Clayton Lindberg, the drive’s team leader for Langley.

Last year, 152 bags of clothing and blankets were collected.

Builders help Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is also collecting coats for kids – especially youths 12 to 18. The 20th annual Coats for Kids campaign runs until Dec. 2 at locations throughout Langley, such as Hilti Canada, Trail Appliances, and the Langley Advance.

Trimmin’ frenzy afoot Newlands hosts 25th annual Festival of Trees.

The Partners of EPR Langley Chartered Professional Accountants are pleased to announce that staff member Richard Zhao has recently been awarded his professional accounting designation from the Chartered Professional Accountants of BC. Richard also has a Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Saskatchewan. Richard has a strong background in public practice and has been part of the EPR team since February 2015.

ASHLEY WADHWANI news@langleyadvance.com

Newlands Golf and Country Club is hosting the 25th annual Festival of Trees – or decorating frenzy – tonight.

The Festival of Trees allows local companies to network while getting into the holiday spirit, with proceeds going directly to the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation, said event organizer Tiffany Knopp.

Businesses are asked to donate $200 and in doing so they purchase a Christmas tree that they deck out during the decorating reception today (Thursday,

LOCAL FOCUS. GLOBAL REACH. 604-534-1441

Nov.19).

“Every last penny of that $200 goes back to the foundation,” said Knopp, owner of The Bride’s Assistant.

Knopp has been coordinating this event for six years and has the goal of signing up 25 businesses this year.

“It’s great to see all the different companies helping each other and interacting with each other,” Knopp said of interaction at the reception.

“It’s very much a community building event,” she added.

Once decorating is complete, participants judge each other’s trees – picking the best in four different categories: best creative use of material, best team spirit, most enchanting tree, and best corporate tree.

The trees remain on display at Newlands throughout the holiday season, with literally thousands expected to view them while visiting the centre.

The public is also invited to stop in and browse and even vote by donation. The business with the most popular tree earns the title of “master trimmer of the year.”

Festival of Trees is a third-party fundraising event, which means that money is generated without the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation having to expend any resources.

Third-party fundraisers count as additional donations to the initiatives presented by the foundation, and the money is used to purchase new equipment for the hospital, explained Errin Young, communications officer at the foundation.

“It reaches people who we haven’t had a chance to reach ourselves. It extends our reach within a community which to us is incredibly important,” Young said.

For Knopp, the Festival of Trees and other third-party fundraising for the hospital, have affected her personally.

“This is the one [event] that I put my heart and soul into every year,” she said.

In early 2014, Knopp developed complications during her third pregnancy and her son was born one month premature at the Langley Memorial Hospital.

“I myself am witnessing the need and seeing how wonderful it is for all of the years that people have been giving [and] the impact that it has on the Langley community,” she said.

good portion of the last year working on her memoir, but the program allowed her to dip her toes in several forms of writing.

She definitely wants to write more fiction in the future, Scrivens said, noting her favoured genres are mystery and science fiction.

For now, she still has a lot of work to do on the memoir.

“I think the memoir itself will probably take me another year or two,” Scrivens said.

“I’m a busy mom of a five-year-old.”

She’ll have help from her fellow graduates.

“We’ve formed such a

They have already set up some dates to meet and help one another with their work.

“There’s nothing like being with a group of like-minded authors to bounce your work off of,” she said.

Paying tribute:

news@langleyadvance.com

Williams Park is sporting a new hut, known as a yurt, for Langley Forest School.

The forest school is an alternative to classroom learning and encourages kids to reconnect with the environment. The pilot began in September 2014 and interest is growing.

In a climate like Langley’s, not every day is ideal for outdoor learning as noted by the school’s director of funding, Becky Steward.

“It can be dangerous for them to be out in a forest [on a high wind day],” Steward said.

“This gives somewhere for the classroom to be and somewhere to put their things.”

The school is hoping to raise $10,000 to cover costs of the now complete yurt. Those interested can contribute through www. indiegogo.com/projects/langley-forest-schoolhelp-us-grow-2-0#/.

Do you really know what your kids are up to? ▾ MYTH: Once kids join a gang there’s no hope for them: Reality: Gang members in B.C. come from every socio-economic background and all ethnicities. While racial, ethnic, and gender composition can vary by locality or type of gang, gangs are often as diverse as our communities and many do not restrict who joins as long as they can make money for the gang.

Rain barrels make great gift ideas

ANNE MARRISON

G

ardeners who are mourning dead trees and shrubs and dehydrated plants might love any Christmas gift that could help them through a similar dry

spell next year.

Few people say “Oh how beautiful!” about presents that make watering easier – but these gifts can be met with gratitude for years to come.

The heritage-type wooden rain barrels are nice-looking and last a while if treated with respect. But they tend to leak when liquid runs low.

Sometimes wooden half barrels can be found with plastic liners, but these are better at creating container ponds than for storing water.

More workable choices are sturdy

plastic barrels that are crafted to look like heritage ones.

These have useful variations like flat backs (to fit against a wall), links for adding extra barrels, screening and water taps and spigots for attaching hoses.

Stands are available for them. These give water barrels enough elevation for filling watering cans.

Not everyone wants to give up beautiful wall-side plantings for rows of barrels. But it is possible to buy connectors so that downspout water is carried to wherever the barrels have been placed.

From these, hoses can be attached.

People who have been struggling with vinyl hoses that kink and resist being straight-

ened after being coiled for winter storage, might be glad of a chance to try a rubber hose instead. These are heavier, but much more co-operative.

Those of us who still have sore backs after a summer spent lugging buckets of grey water to thirsty plants might be quick to see the value of a small submersible pump.

Like the other watering gifts, it’s a utilitarian present.

But these pumps are so valuable because they can be plunged into a water-filled bath or washing machine and connected to a hose. > More: langleyadvance. com, search ‘Marrison’

Foodies don’t have to be so serious or pretentious Cooking in Langley

O

ne of the aspects of the food and wine industry, that I have realized through the years as a chef, is that people can be so serious.

Yes, I take pride in what I do and I think the role I play in the industry has an impact on people’s lives.

But, why am I expected to have a heavy-weighted approach in discussions regarding food and drink?

Yes, there are rules in cooking, and many are steadfast.

But, I am talking more about the areas where approaches are not as strict and could very easily be bent based on personal preferences and taste.

Opinions are like taste buds – everybody has them.

I welcome you with open arms to share your food experiences with me. No guard must be erected.

there are numerous people in the food industry, who we may label as foodies, who come across as pompous or event pretentious.

This is perhaps why it is presumably expected for others to be the same way.

Alongside Nickel’s work is that of multimedia artist Betty Spackman.

Nickel noted bayit is a word used in both Arabic and Hebrew to denote home. Her paintings explore both literal and metaphorical meanings of the word.

Spackman’s work has often dealt with issues of home through her own series of assemblage works and collages.

The pairing of the work gives a feeling for how living situations are viewed and how individuals respond to others based on their dwelling, lack of dwelling, or homelessness.

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Veteran reflects on D-Day On Remembrance Day in Langley City, Second World War veteran John Swityk spoke about what the day means to him.

seat was available for Second World War veteran John Swityk, but he chose to stand for much of Langley City’s Remembrance Day ceremonies Nov. 11 at Douglas Park.

The slight, softspoken Langley resident served with the Royal Regina Rifles regiment from 1940 to ’46, is a D-Day veteran, and back in February was awarded the French Legion of Honour Medal from Consul General of France JeanChristophe Fleury during a ceremony at the Langley Legion.

Before last Wednesday’s ceremony got underway, Swityk told the Advance he has faithfully attended Remembrance Day services since 1946.

“After I got out of the army, I never missed,” Swityk said.

Troy Landreville/Langley Advance

D-Day veteran John Swityk chose to stand during much of Langley City’s Remembrance Day ceremony Nov. 11 at Douglas Park.

“Armistice Day, well I call it Armistice Day, but Remembrance Day, I never missed it one year yet – never.

And I always lay a cross for my regiment.”

In July 1941, Swityk

and his regiment went overseas to England.

They were among the brave soldiers who waded through the Atlantic Ocean towards Juno Beach in Normandy, France on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

ST OFOF THE BEST BEST THE BEST ADER’S CHOICE 2014 READER’S CHOICE 2014

“It was pretty bad,” Swityk recalled, of that fateful day. “The landing craft that our guns were on, it hit a mine right on the beach just about 20 yards away, and blew the front doors right off and killed a couple of sailors, so we couldn’t get our guns off.”

Swityk and his comrades went into the water and pushed ashore.

By day’s end, the Canadians on Juno Beach lost 340, saw 574 wounded, with 47 taken prisoner.

But of all the divisions that landed on June 6, the Canadians had gained the most ground by sundown.

Swityk said he “remembers a lot of things that happened.”

“My sergeant got wounded, so I was made a sergeant right in the field and I went through the rest of the war with two anti-tank guns and 15 personnel,” Swityk explained. “I was in charge of the guns and after D-Day, the first day we were supposed to go 11 miles inland but we only made it halfway, and it got dark and we lost too many people.” fter the war, Swityk returned to Vancouver.

Three days after he arrived, he found work at the Vancouver Province newspaper’s printing press, in the composing room.

“I went to work right away,” Swityk said.

Swityk and his wife of 67 years Helen have two sons and a daughter, and have lived in Langley for 21 years.

JUNIOR A HOCKEY

Rivermen look to snap Penticton’s 22-game win streak the Bulldogs would come, as the Rivermen held on for the win.

Justin Szeto, Dominic Franco, Justin Fregona, and Ryan Barrow scored singles for the ’Men.

Whether the win over the 9-11-1-1 Bulldogs is a blip on what has been a flat line of a November for the Rivermen or the start of something good will be determined this weekend, when Langley hosts the powerhouse Penticton Vees on Friday, followed by the Trail Smoke Eaters on Saturday.

Friday’s game versus the Vees has a 7:15 p.m. start time at the Langley Events Centre, while Saturday’s contest gets underway at 6 p.m. at the LEC. The Vees offer up junior A hockey’s version of being tied to a ravenous grizzly.

Since losing their season-opener Sept.

11, the Vees have reeled off an astonishing 22 straight wins.

Snapping a twomonth-long unbeaten streak while upending a team with a BCHLbest 22-1 record is sure to instill confidence in a Rivermen club that has just two wins to show for this month.

The Vees have the league’s top point-getter in Tyson Jost.

With 21 goals and 46 points, the 17-year-old forward is scoring at a two-points-per-game clip.

Another Vee to watch out for is 20-year-old Scott Conway, who sits third in BCHL scoring with 41 points. He, too, is averaging two points per game.

On top of their high-powered offence, the Vees are also the BCHL’s stingiest defensive team, having allowed the fewest goals (43) in the league, thus far.

The night after taking on the Vees, the Rivermen will host the Trail Smoke Eaters, who at 9-13 have had their struggles, and sit tied for last in the BCHL’s Interior Division.

The Rivermen, meanwhile are third in the league’s Mainland Division with a 13-11 mark. A hot start has kept the Rivermen in front of the fourthplace Coquitlam Express (9-10-1-2).

The Chilliwack Chiefs (15-5-1-2), who are riding a ninegame win streak, and Wenatchee Wild (14-5-2-2) are starting to pull away from the Rivermen in the Mainland standings.

High-flying Stamps trample Spartans The Langley Stampeders continue to win.

The B.C. Community Football Association saw an adjustment to its Midget Division standings this past week, as one of the member teams was disciplined by the directors for not adhering to the league’s player age guidelines.

The changes had no influence on the Langley Stampeders’ ranking.

However, the visiting Victoria Spartans benefited from the adjustment and came into Sunday’s game at McLeod Stadium tied with the Stamps for first place in the hotly contested division.

The Stamps stopped the Spartans in their tracks, winning 25-7 to improve their record to 8-1, tied with the North Surrey Bears for tops in the division.

The win was the Stamps’ seventh in a row.

First quarter action was tight, with the Stamps finally taking the ball on a march from their 19 yard line into Spartan territory.

The drive bogged down on the Victoria 15 yard marker, where Langley’s Nolan McMurchy kicked a field goal. The quarter closed with the Stamps ahead 3-0.

The second frame was controlled by Langley, and ball possession was the key.

The Stamps’ first touchdown was scored

by Devin Dacosta, closing off a drive that started at the Stamps’ 25 yard line.

The second major was the culmination of an eight-play march from Langley’s 51, topped off by a Sheldon Gangloff touchdown as the home team carried a 16-0 lead into the halftime break.

In the third quarter, a fumble recovery on the Victoria 32 set up another Langley scoring drive, capped by a short plunge into the end zone from the two yard line.

On the next series, Victoria was unable to move the ball from their end and conceded two more points as the Stamps carried a big 25-0 lead into the final quarter.

The highlight for the home team in the fourth quarter was stopping Victoria from scoring with a goal line stand.

Three Victoria attempts to score from the one-yard line were denied, ending a march that started at the Spartans’ 32.

Victoria did respond, returning a Stampeder kick 56 yards for

the final score of the game.

The Stampeders’ final league game is at McLeod Stadium this Sunday, Nov. 22 against the White Rock Titans.

Opening kickoff is at 1 p.m.

The results of this game will determine the final Midget Division 12 man standings.

Langley Stampeders quarterback Devante Wilson tried to evade Victoria tacklers Sunday at McLeod Stadium.
