Top dollar paid on the spot! A female flagger was the only person injured in a collision between a truck and a train Saturday morning. The incident brought out many emergency responders and halted the trains Saturday. The train cars also blocked off other intersections, such as 200th Street and traffic around the Langley Bypass. Traffic in the area was impacted during the day.

A woman in serious condition after a truck-versus-train collision on the Langley Bypass Saturday is expected to recover, Langley RCMP say. The accident took place just after 8 a.m., when a train approached and the warning arms came down to block four lanes of traffic.

One of the arms, however, landed on a commercial pilot truck that was being used in connection with the construction of the new BMW dealership, Langley RCMP Sgt. Ravi Pawar explained. A woman quickly jumped behind the wheel of the truck to move it out of the way. Instead of moving free of the tracks, Pawar explained, the truck remained in the path of the oncoming train. The truck was clipped by the train, and was pushed the entire width of the Bypass, and was slammed into an electrical transformer box on the other side of the intersection. Langley City firefighters and BC Ambulance paramedics

arrived within minutes of the crash. Firefighters had to use a hydraulic spreader, also known as “jaws of life,” to pry open the truck’s door and get the woman out. “There was a lot of damage to the vehicle,” said deputy City fire chief Pete Methot. When the air ambulance helicopter left the scene, the woman was conscious, breathing, and suffering from non-life threatening injuries, said Pawar. By Monday morning, the woman’s condition had been upgraded. She is expected to survive and recover, said RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. The train was broken apart and moved to different sec-

tions of the track while police conducted their investigation. While other rail crossings were re-opened within a few hours, the crossing at the Bypass remained closed most of the day. Firefighters stayed at the scene for several hours to make sure no electrical fires broke out in the destroyed shed. The shed hit by the truck contained electrical controls for the warning arms. Because the controls were destroyed, flag people will be used for a few days to physically block traffic and warn drivers when trains are approaching, Marks said. An integrated crash reconstruction team is investigating the cause of the accident.

Crime

Fake phone workers didn’t fool homeowner A suspicious pair claiming to work for the phone company tried to get into an Aldergrove home. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

An Aldergrove homeowner was rightly suspicious of two men who claimed to be telephone repairmen last week, Langley RCMP say. On Nov. 18, two men appeared at the door of the home and said they were there

to inspect the Telus service package inside. However, the homeowner refused to let them in, and tried to take photos of the two men as they walked away. The resident then called the police. Cpl. Holly Marks said the two men were described as Asian, between 22 and 27 years old, standing about 5’2” to 5’4” tall. Both were wearing black leather jackets and slacks. Marks said Telus repair personnel will always have Telus ID, a business card, clothing with the Telus logo, and a work order or trouble ticket. In most cases, they will have phoned in advance to ensure

there is someone at home and to arrange an appointment. It is very rare for a repairman to show up at a home without the homeowner calling to report a problem, Marks said. A resident who is at all suspicious should call the repair line at 611 and speak to a regional service manager. The same principles apply to most repair services or utility companies. Con men often pretend to work for the power, phone, or cable companies to get access to a home. They will then walk off with whatever valuables they can find when the homeowners are distracted.

A Gastropub is a genuine old gathering place, that has been restored, yet retains the character of a traditional manor or pub. The furnishings are of the turn of the century, simple but comfortable and cozy. The food is modern European and traditional homegrown from local farmers, bakers, butchers and purveyors of goods, with a dash of elegant personal touches. The prices though, are moderate for the types of dishes being served. Please share in this love as well, as you enjoy our hospitality, your meal and beverages at the Baron’s Manor Pub.

Apparently, the grass is greener on this side of 196th Street. The South Surrey Big Kahuna Rams – the lone Lower Mainland entry in the B.C. Junior Football Conference – are coming to Langley. It will leave Surrey without a junior football team for the first time in more than 60 years. “The bottom line is it came down to facilities,” said Rams media director Chris Swartz. “That’s no secret. We gave it five years at South Surrey Athletic Park to make it work. Our hopes right from the start was that the facilities would be improved over a period of time and that just never happened.” The Rams have been around in various forms since 1948, playing at either the junior tier 1, junior tier 2 or juvenile

In 1988 the club joined the BCFC as an expansion team, and after missing the playoffs the first year, qualified for the postseason every year since, winning five BCFC championships, most recently in 2005. In 1992, the Rams made their only national championship game appearance, losing to Ottawa. The team played out of Bear Creek Park until 2006, when it shifted to South Surrey Athletic Park. The field in South Surrey met the team’s

needs but the facility was bare bones. “It wasn’t a hard decision at all from the club’s standpoint,” Swartz said. “When you look at the facilities were going to, there’s no comparison. We’re going to be based out of McLeod [Athletic Park] Stadium and we’ll have our own dedicated clubhouse and dressing room in the stadium. We’ll have a nice practice facility there and the ability to play out of a proper stadium with grandstands is exciting.”

Police found about 70 marijuana plants in a small grow op on a Brookswood cul-de-sac.

Brookswood

No charges over small pot crop

A grow op was dismantled in a quiet Brookswood neighbourhood on Friday. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

A Brookswood marijuana grow op was dismantled by the Langley RCMP on Friday, but the resident won’t face any charges. Police were originally called out to a home in a culde-sac, on 38th Avenue east of 200th Street, to check on the well-being of the resident, said Cpl. Holly Marks. The man apparently hadn’t been heard from in a while. When officers arrived and knocked on the door, they found no one home, but they did detect the odour of marijuana. They returned with a search warrant and a locksmith, and found 70 plants inside a shed behind the house. “It’s a fairly small grow,” Marks said. Police did later find the occupant, she said. “His well-being was fine,” she said. The incident is being classified as a “no case seizure” in which no charges are expected. Marks couldn’t say exactly why a decision not to pursue charges was made.

Snow blankets much of Langley

USA

Langley was briefly turned into a winter wonderland – causing crashes and delays.

Grapefruit

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley wasn’t completely unscathed, but the first snowfall of the year came and went without any loss of life or major accidents. The sub-zero weather brought both happiness – as kids had snowball fights and went sledding – and problems, as the Gateway of Hope Shelter prepared for more homeless seeking a warm place to sleep. In Langley Township, the snow plows were gassed up and ready to go by Friday afternoon. “What we struggled with on Friday was that the timing of the event was delayed,” said Terry Veer, the Townships manager of roads and drainage. The snow was forecast to start falling by 4 p.m. It didn’t actually start until about 9 p.m. But when it finally started falling, it came down as quite a blast, leaving between four and five centimetres in western Langley and two or three in Aldergrove. Because of the extra time, a lot of pre-salting was done on major roads, Veer said. The Township’s snow removal plans have been beefed up since a major snowfall two years ago. Veer said on Friday night and Saturday the crews cleared major routes, then on Monday they began clearing secondary routes. The tertiary roads, the lowest priority, are mostly residential roads. They aren’t cleared until there’s at least 10 inches of snow on the ground, Veer said. Crews will be out over

the next few days, whether more snow falls or not. “I think with the cold weather we’ll continue to struggle with icy spots,” Veer said. Langley RCMP accident investigators became very familiar with one corner over the weekend. They went back to 248th Street and 56th Avenue four times on Sunday for four separate crashes. None of the crashes is thought to have resulted in serious injuries, said RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. Bad road conditions at the corner are at least partly to blame. The trees around the corner apparently shaded the street and left it icy. “If the sun isn’t able to get through, those areas are particularly slippery,” Marks said. She reminded all drivers to be extremely cautious during the cold snap. Ice anywhere can be hazardous for drivers. “Even zero degrees can be deadly,” she said. Meanwhile, in Langley City there were few disruptions. Aside from the train-versus-truck collision that left one woman hurt [see page A1] there were no serious incidents as a result of the snow, said deputy fire chief Pete Methot.

Tech education

School districts need to challenge themselves to keep up with technological change, but also to recognize how students have changed over the past 15 years with the advent of Internet and today’s high-tech gadgets. At a recent forum organized across the river by Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows school district, the question was posed whether education being delivered to students today is relevant to the world waiting for them when they graduate. “With the best of intentions, we’re preparing our students for the past,” said the forum’s keynote speaker Ted McCain. Students are connected to the outside world at all times – many of them sending and receiving texts throughout the day, inside and outside of school, or surfing websites on their phones and other personal devices. Schools have to be able to get a handle on technology in order to engage these students in learning. Langley school trustee Wendy Johnson attended the Maple Ridge forum, and commented after that schools need “to use technology in a greater variety of ways,” especially given the comfort level students have with it. Learning is still largely textbook-based, but many people, when they search for information, they’re more likely to Google it than reach for a reference book. But to teach students to use technology appropriately, teachers have to have the digital devices at their disposal. And who will pay for the upgrades needed for technology in schools? Computers are costly and become obsolete quickly. Currently, parent advisory councils raise money, and much of the money goes towards technology – but buying computers leaves less to support field trips and musical instruments. It’s time for the provincial government to put its money where its mouth is, and instead of saying it wants B.C. to be the most literate jurisdiction on the continent, it should pay for the tools to make that possible. – M.R.

Langley Township

Time short for Gang of Six Dear Editor, The representatives of Township of Langley council are elected, as B. Penner states [Democracy gone awry, Nov. 16 Letters, Langley Advance]. But they are elected by the residents of the Township to do Township business and to listen to the concerns of the resi-

dents of the Township. That is democracy; what we have now is not. The Gang of Six are the councillors left over from our past mayor, and have made it clear they will not work with Mayor Rick Green. They must realize we, the residents of the Township, are not ignorant country

Langley Township

Gang of Six ignoring public

Dear Editor, Halloween is over, but ghosts still seem to be wafting through council chambers in the Township of Langley. Responding to entities that the rest of us can neither see nor hear (remember the tens of thousand of supporters?) the Gang of Six ignores massive public sentiment with its manoeuvres to bypass the Agricultrual Land Commission re: the Mufford overpass. And in Fort Langley it could only have been those same invisible entities, a.k.a. the silent majority, that convinced council to ignore the community and approve more inappropriate apartment buildings on the waterfront. Again, massive public feedback to council was ignored. Backroom politics doesn’t get much worse than this. Only the next election will tell whether the Gang turns into ghosts themselves or continues to stumble on as development zombies. Kari McFee, UBC

hicks. We know what they are doing; they consistently vote as a group, one after the other. They appear to be directed by someone behind the scenes, and they are falling into line, vote after vote, usually against the wishes of the residents who elected them. Time is running out for them. Voting records will be displayed, and they will be asked hard questions at open forums if they run again. They will be held accountable for their decisions. The mayor was elected to do the business of the Township with elected councillors to do the same thing. They were elected by the residents of the Township, who can and hopefully will un-elect them when the time comes. The time for change is coming, the time for democracy will return to the Township. We, the residents and taxpayers of the Township of Langley, will take it back. Sandra Cameron, Fort Langley

Fort Langley

Relaxation more difficult in village Dear Editor, I wonder if those who think Fort Langley is a great little place actually live here. Since the Albion Ferry closed, the main street has become a freeway. No longer is it possible to have a relaxed coffee on the cafe patio, as the semi-trailers and unmuffled motorcycles insult the eardrums. Glover Road is now the shortcut for semis to exit the freeway at 232nd Street and negotiate Snake Hill enroute to Port Kells. The Gloucester Properties to Port Kells route now has downtown as a speed bump. The young mums delivering their precious cargos to

school would be horrified if they observed another driver exhibiting the same driving skills as they practice. People need to slow down and put the cell phone away.

Finally, there are plenty of candidates for the over 40 club south and west of the light at Glover Road and 88th Avenue. Bring back photo radar. Geoff Letts, Fort Langley

Dear Editor, B. Penner certainly needs to think before he/she writes [Democracy gone awry, Nov. 16 Letters, Langley Advance]. Yes, we elected our council in the usual democratic way, but the Agricultural Land Commission and other provincial and federal boards are qualified experts put in place to make sure our elected officers do not make mistakes which affect the future. Doctor Bob Moats [Simple concept hard to grasp, Nov. 12 Letters, Advance] is a caring, fair-minded individual who works to save the farmland and the environment for everyone, even for B. Penner.

Campbell Valley Park is a basin with a river at its core. My contact with park staff over the years has only ever been a positive experience. The only hostility I’ve encountered has been from riders, and thankfully, a very small minority. Enjoying the beauty of this nature park in my community is a privilege, and I don’t take it for granted. Sharon Boehm, Murrayville For more letters to the editor visit... www.langleyadvance.com

Dear Editor, Robin Brunet is unhappy with upgrades to the horse trails at Campbell Valley Regional Park [Horse trails destroyed with gravel, Oct. 12 Letters, Langley Advance]. As a frequent walker on the different trails at the park for more than 15 years, I have also witnessed the evolution of hog fuel to gravel on the Shaggy Mane Trail, which is designated multi-use. The change has been necessitated by ecology. Hog fuel is basically shredded wood and bark, and can leach various harmful oils into the groundwater. And

The pumpkin carving skills of young Walnut Grove students paid off for their elementary schools at HomeLife Benchmark Realty’s annual pre-Halloween fundraiser. Students from four elementary schools put their pumpkins on display during the Oct. 23 event at the Walnut Grove Save-On-Foods. From each school, students in seven age groups (Grades 1-7) showed their pumpkins, with the public voting on the creations. On Nov. 15, HomeLife Benchmark realtors Michelle Sparrow, Jorda Maisey, and Michael Thorne, along with Walnut Grove Save-On-Foods assistant store manager Scott Nazaruk toured the schools with giant cheques in hand. The following Walnut Grove elementary schools benefited: For example, West Langley ($1,000), Alex Hope ($875), Topham, and Dorothy Peacock ($750 each). Each school will be using the donations in different ways. West Langley is using the funds to pay for buses for field trips, Dorothy Peacock will purchase a computer projector, and Alex Hope is using the money for its library and technology. West Langley principal Don MacKenzie said he is “absolutely amazed” at the level of community spirit shown at the fundraiser. Also from the event, eight shop-

Between periods of their game versus the North Shore Avalanche, members of the Langley Lightning peewee Tier 2 girls hockey team listened to their coach John Campbell’s advice during the Wickenheiser International Hockey Festival, which ran Nov. 18-21 at Burnaby 8 Rinks. Back row included Ireland Bellsmith, Emily Yeomans, Tracie Fawcett, Rebecca Young, Danika Pasqua, and Shalyn Campbell. In front were Sophia Kristopherson and Mary-Ellen Fitzgerald.

Smyl said the game wasn’t a work of art – more of a dogsplaying-poker painting – but he’ll take the two points. “I thought we didn’t play quite as well in that game,” Smyl said. “Our discipline was not very good, and we did some things that didn’t help ourselves. I thought our complete play wasn’t what it needs to be, but we did make some headway.” With the victory, the Chiefs successfully spoiled the Vipers’ comeback bid. The Vipers rallied from a pair of two-goal deficits to earn the overtime point. The Chiefs took a two-goal lead in the third period after Myers and defenceman Tyler Miller scored 1:21 apart to put Langley ahead 4-2. The Vipers battled back with a powerplay marker with just over 10 minutes remaining in the final frame, and then tied the game with 1:48 to go in regulation time. Matt Ius put the Chiefs ahead 1-0 after the first period and the teams entered the second intermission locked in a 2-2 tie. Brad McBride gave the Chiefs a 2-0 lead when he scored on a Langley man advantage 4:16 into the middle period.

Vernon got to within a goal when Kyle Murphy scored 29 seconds after McBride’s marker. They tied the game 1:50 later on a goal from David Robinson. The Chiefs were outshot 47-28 by the Vipers. Galley made 43 saves to earn the win, and the nod as the game’s third star. ••• The Chiefs have won four in a row and five of their last six, and now possess an impressive 17-8-1-4 record, as they remain second in the British Columbia Hockey League’s Coastal Conference The local juniors wrap up the month with three games this week and weekend.

The Trinity Western University men’s volleyball team has never before swept the University of Alberta in Edmonton. On Saturday, the nationally-No. 1 ranked Golden Bears made sure that did not happen as they rebounded from the previous night’s three-set loss to defeat the Spartans 3-1. Set scores were 25-12, 25-17, 27-29, and 25-18. The loss drops the Spartans to 6-2, while the win moves Alberta to 5-1. Leading the Spartans for the second straight night was fourth-year middle Rudy Verhoeff, who recorded 14 kills to bring his weekend total to 29. Senior middle Joshua Doornenbal also got to double digits with 13. ••• Led by Verhoeff’s 15 kills, the Spartans went into the “Bears cave” and swept Alberta in three sets Friday in Edmonton. “We focused all week long on playing better system volleyball and I’m happy that the work we put in paid off in our performance and allowed us to get the result we wanted,” TWU head coach Ben Josephson said, following Friday’s win. In addition to Verhoeff the Spartans had strong performances from Mikiah Schalk with 13 kills and four digs, and setter Ben Ball who finished with 36 assists. Next up for the Spartans are home games against the University of Winnipeg this coming Friday and Saturday. Game times at the Langley Events Centre are at 8 and 7 p.m., respectively.

TWU women’s volleyball For the first time in the young Canada West season, the TWU women have come out on the wrong end of the scoreboard. The Spartans fell in three sets to the University of Alberta Saturday in Edmonton. The 26-24, 25-17, 25-23 loss drops the Spartans to 7-1, while the win improves the Pandas to 2-4. “It is tough to walk in against a quality team like Alberta and take both games from them,” TWU head coach Ryan Hofer said. “We had control early in the first set, but they took it from us and we were unable to get it back and from there Alberta outplayed us.” ••• Kara Jansen Van Doorn hit for 23 kills to lead Trinity Western to a five-set win over Alberta Friday in Edmonton. “We were grinding tonight. We weren’t as smooth as we normally are, but our girls gutted it out and it is a win and will take it,” TWU head coach Ryan Hofer commented, after the match. Jansen Van Doorn’s 23 kills were the second highest in TWU women’s volleyball CIS history. She now holds the two top spots with her record of 25 kills in a 3-2 loss to UBC on Oct. 31, 09. The fifth-year outside hitter came into the contest already leading the conference in kills, and padded those stats against Alberta. No other Spartan came close to her output however, as both Alicia Perrin and Royale Richardson, tied for second in TWU kills with eight. Next up for the Spartans are home games against the University of Winnipeg this coming Friday and Saturday. Game times at the Langley Events Centre are at 6 and 5 p.m., respectively.

WARM GREETINGS FROM ENVISION FINANCIAL! As a local community-based credit union, we’re continually looking for opportunities to enrich the cities and towns that we’re part of. For more than 60 years, Envision has been working hard to help make the communities that we serve better places for families to live, work and play. While we specialize in helping our members achieve their financial goals, we also share our members’ wider concerns—things like education, the voluntary sector, the environment and the arts. Over the past three years, Envision has invested more than $3.0 million in community organizations and initiatives. The commitment to be an industry leader in corporate citizenship is at the core of who we are. That’s why we’re proud to be part of Christmas in the Valley for the fifth year running. This festive celebration brings our community together through a variety of family-focused holiday events in the Fraser Valley and Langley area. We’re excited to partner with the Douglas College Foundation to bring you the 6th annual Envision Financial Light the Lake at Lafarge Lake in Coquitlam. Benefiting the Douglas College Foundation, this fun-filled family event takes place on December 5 from 3-7 p.m. and features strolling carolers, a jolly Santa Claus, hot chocolate and cider, and a variety of activities for the kids.

BEV BROWN

President, Envision Financial

In Langley, we’re also pleased to support the Canadian Cancer Society’s Santa Skate. Starting at 10 a.m. on December 18 at the Langley Events Centre, this event includes breakfast, a chance to skate with Santa, and many other family friendly activities. Our employee volunteers will also be helping the Salvation Army with their annual Red Kettle Campaign. Look for our enthusiastic volunteers at locations around Langley. From all of us at Envision Financial, Happy Holidays!

Bev Brown President, Envision Financial

Langley Township

Volunteers bring Christmas to Williams Park

asher, Dancer, Frosty and even the jolly old elf himself will be stopping by Williams Park, spreading cheer this Christmas. Dec. 6 through16, visitors to the park at 238th Street and 68th Avenue can drive through the winter wonderland from 6 to 9 p.m. It may seem that all the decorations in the park appear by magic, but it’s really done with the help of dedicated volunteers.

On Saturday, Dec. 4, volunteers are needed to help set up the lights and displays in preparation for the drivethrough event. Volunteers are also needed especially for the take-down on Sunday, Dec. 19, to get the park ready to reopen again. “It really is a family community event,” said Alicia Stark, the Township’s recreation programmer. “This is run by the community for the community.” Because visitors to the drive-through can view the displays from the comfort of their own vehicle, the event is good for all ages, Stark explained. “It’s an event anybody and everybody can come to,” Stark said. “Seniors can drive through. It’s very family-oriented.” The park route does not allow for large tour buses, as cornering is too difficult. Mini buses, however, are fine to drive through the park. Before he makes his worldwide Christmas Eve jaunt, Santa and Mrs. Claus will also visit and have their photos taken with the children at Williams Park on Dec. 17 and 18. On these celebration nights families and visitors can walk around the park. “It’s sort of that old-fashioned type of Christmas,” Stark said. “It brings tradition back. It’s what Christmas is all about.” Carriage and pony rides will be offered, as well as face painting, local entertainment, free

Freybe hot dogs and warm drinks. “It’s a fun night,” Stark said. “It’s easy, the whole family can come and Williams Park is beautiful, especially if it snows.” The Dec. 17-18 events are free, but donations will be gratefully accepted. “One hundred per cent of the donations go right back into the event for next year,” Stark said. Donations can be made to Christmas in Williams Park. The beauty and simplicity of the event will keep people coming back in years to come, according to Stark. “A lot of people have been coming to this event for years; we see a lot of the same people,” she said. “They’re happy, they’re excited and that’s what makes it for us.” Anyone who would like to help set up decorations, or who would like to make a donation, is asked to Langley Advance files call 604-881Taryn Berman checked strands of bulbs before fastening them to shrubbery at Williams Park 6585, or go to during last year’s rainy set-up, while Jessy Knight (opposite) put up spools of LED lights.

The games, crafts and visit with Santa will be set up amidst the museum’s galleries, decorated for the Christmas season. The annual event attracts about 100 families each year.

mas Show will be at Tradex in Abbotsford from Nov. 26-28. “Our hope is that the Langley and the Fraser Valley will be a Christmas destination for guests from Vancouver, Burnaby, and Delta,” Smith said, “but the real benefit is when we engage our own community and build lasting traditions for generations to come.” Christmas in the Valley is also a great opportunity to be generous, in the true spirit of Christmas.

“We would love to see the Salvation Army kettles brim over with generosity this year,” Smith said. “While the events are mostly free, please consider giving generously to those who may need a little hope this Christmas.”

Magic of Christmas

Santa and Mrs. Claus featured in parade

To get a good view of Santa and Mrs. Claus in their sleigh, parade viewers can watch from 203rd to 207th Streets on Fraser Highway. by Samantha Shirley-Urano news@langleyadvance.com

anta and Mrs. Claus will be making their seventh annual visit to Downtown Langley, kicking off the holiday season at the Magic of Christmas Parade. The auspicious visitors from the North Pole will lead the parade, starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 4. The procession of floats will travel east on Fraser Highway, from 203rd to 207th Streets, said parade organizer Teri James, coordinator of the Downtown Langley Merchants Association. With an estimated 5,000 people coming out for the parade, organizers are encouraging people to spread themselves out along the entire route so everyone can see better. “In previous years we have seen the bulk of people watching the parade from the one-way section of Fraser Highway, but the parade actually extends from 203rd to 207th Street, so two entire blocks of parade route are not as populated as they could be,” James said. To motivate people to spread out more, the parade route will have entertainment at locations throughout the route, including live Christmas music from 5-6 p.m. “If you see the downtown area at the holiday season with all the lights, there’s nothing like it,” James said of the parade. “There’s such a great feeling of Christmas,

and it is quite literally the kickoff to Christmas here.” There are usually 50 to 60 entries, but James said there is still room for many more. The deadline for entries in the parade is Nov. 26, but James said organizers pride themselves in not turning anyone away. As an incentive to sign up early, the parade committee is giving out commemorative Christmas ornaments the first 50 parade registrations. The red ornament is adorned with the parade logo and the year, and is the committee’s way of saying “thank you” to the businesses and organizations that support the parade with their participation year after year. The colourful floats and entries in the parade are varied, including local businesses, horses, children, sports groups, and even jugglers and a stilt walker. Plus, the man with the bag and Mrs. Claus will be making their annual appearance – this year in a 14-foot-long carriage pulled by two black and white draft horses. Parade marshalling will take place this year in the parking lot behind City Hall, at 20399 Douglas Cres. Parents with children participating in the parade can pick them up afterwards at St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, at 207th St. and Fraser Hwy. Spectators should are encouraged to arrive early and bundle up this year. The parade itself is expected to last about 45 minutes. There will be goodies handed out during the parade, including stuffed animals, candy canes, glow sticks, and hot chocolate. Entry forms for the parade are available online at www.downtownlangley.com.

Country Christmas

Santa will hear wish lists before joining the parade

t may be very cold for the Magic of Christmas Parade in Downtown Langley, but viewers will have a chance to warm up nearby. Country Christmas will be held at the Douglas Recreation Centre on Saturday, Dec. 4, offering games and crafts for children, and allowing them to get more than just the glimpse of Santa and Mrs. Claus in the parade later on. Children will be able to visit with Jolly

Old Saint Nick and tell him their Christmas wishes before he and his wife hop in their new carriage for the parade. Parents can take pictures of their children with Santa and/or Mrs. Claus, said Karlo Tamondong, recreation supervisor for the Douglas Rec Centre, but they’ll have to bring their own cameras. Country Christmas will be split up, as it was last year, with events before and after the parade. Children can visit with Santa and do free kids crafts from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m., including making Christmas cards and decorating Christmas cookies. Having fun events for kids before the pa-

rade will allow parents to go home after the parade finishes, if their children are tired. If, however, they are ready for more fun, there will be entertainment after the parade. “From 6 to 6:30 everyone will go to Fraser Highway for the parade and then, from 6:30 until about 8, it’s back here for performances and the annual Christmas tree lighting event,” Tamondong said. The recreation centre, on Douglas Crescent, is not far from Fraser Highway, and Tamondong said it would only be about a one-minute walk north for people to get from the centre to the parade route. During the parade, staff will be able to clean up and prepare for the next round of festivities. He also said there were probably about 1,000 people going in and out of the recreation centre for Country Christmas last year, and he expects the turnout to be similar this year. There will be children’s entertainers and singers, including Payton Rector from Surrey, performing Christmas songs after the parade. Langley sculptor Bruce Waugh will also be working his magic at Country Christmas. He will begin carving out an ice sculpture just outside the Douglas Rec Centre at 3 p.m. and he should be finished by 4:30 p.m. The festivities are free, but Tamondong said they are asking people to bring non-perishable food items for Langley Food Bank. “This year we’re going to hand out free coffee and hot chocolate if you donate to the food bank,” he said. There will also be concession items for sale from the Nicomekl Elementary School Parent Advisory Council. Tamondong’s advice for parade watchers is to dress warmly. “Come prepared for the weather, especially during the parade,” he said. “You never know if it’s going to snow or rain. Just come prepared, and we’re planning a really big event, so it should be fun.”

Historic Fort Langley

History reborn in musical Christmas Step away from the busyness of Christmas preparations for a quiet, intimate visit to the Fort. by Samantha Shirley-Urano news@langleyadvance.com

or the 25th year in a row, the Fort Langley National Historic Site is welcoming visitors inside its wooden palisades to enjoy an Old-Fashioned Musical Christmas. On Friday, Dec. 9, 7-9 p.m., songs of the season will fill the air with instrumental and choral selections performed by local musicians. The professional carolling group Noel, dressed in period costume, will also lead visitors in singing carols around the Fort’s bonfire, according

to Fort marketing manager Nancy Hildebrand. The feeling of Christmas will be accented with festive white lights and greenery hung around the historic fort. There will be a lantern contest for homemade lanterns, made by visitors to the fort, at 7:50 p.m., as well as a parade. A lantern-making workshop will be held at the Fort on Dec. 4, 1-4 p.m. The workshop costs $10 per lantern for pass holders, or $10 plus site admission for the general public. Registration for the workshop is recommended by Nov. 30, as space is limited. Regular admission prices will be in effect for the Old-Fashioned Musical Christmas event. Tickets can be purchased in advance. Held rain or shine, the event is aimed at warming the hearts of those in earshot.

The storehouse, built in the 1840s, is the only original building left on site.

The festivities at the Fort Langley National Historic Site will continue later in December, incorporating Christmas fun into the regular daily schedule from Saturday, Dec. 18, to Sunday, Jan. 2 (except for Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day, when it’s closed). The park will be open for its regular hours during this time, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. “People can get away from the rush of the holiday season and connect with their family and friends in a quiet, peaceful setting,” Hildebrand said. She also explained there will be lantern-lit tours around the site, led by volunteers in period dress – tours will start at 11 a.m., 1 p.m., 2:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. Visitors can also sip hot apple cider, make a Christmas craft, and take home some holiday baking from the Full Barrel Cafe. With a donation for Langley Food Bank, visitors will even be able to vote in the Christmas Tree decorating contest. Regular admission fees apply, and there are no advance tickets for these festivities. The Fort’s annual pass will go on sale Dec. 1 for $39.20 for a family (regularly $49), $15.70 for adults, $13.20 for seniors and $7.80 for youth. The passes will be valid through Dec. 31, 2011.

For the annual Aldergrove Christmas Light Up Parade, the streets are ﬁlled with colourfully lit ﬂoats, music, and many people.

Parade lights up season Aldergrove is inviting everyone to visit the village and get into the spirit of the season on Dec. 11. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

he hot chocolate will be steaming, as thousands of people gather for the Christmas Light Up Parade Dec. 11. One of the ways the Aldergrove Festival Days Society makes the parade and holidaythemed evening more enjoyable for the public is to join forces with community groups and businesses which host hot chocolate stations along the parade route.

The parade itself runs along Fraser Highway from 273rd Street to 269th Street. That means Fraser Highway is temporarily closed that evening and people will want to find their parking spots early so they can be in their viewing spots for the 6 p.m. start. After the parade, many people check out the decorations around Aldergrove and see the houses all gussied up for the holidays. Many Aldergrove area residents go to extra effort to make their homes and businesses look special, having entered the Walt Levy Light Up Aldergrove Contest. The judging takes place Dec. 10 this year and people can enter the contest by sending their names, addresses, descriptions and phone numbers to info@AldergroveFestivalDays.com.

Members of the Synchromesh Quartet, Leigh Anderson, Bill Findlay, Mike Wilcox, and Gord Harris, checked out some toys donated to the Langley Christmas Bureau last year. Langley’s barbershop singers are again preparing to help the bureau out with their annual concert.

Charity Concert

Songs brighten Christmas

Local barbershop singers’ 15th annual concert will again benefit the Langley Christmas Bureau

t’s truly a harmonious way to celebrate the approach of the Christmas season. Langley’s barbershoppers are set for their 15th annual charity concert. The fundraiser, organized by the Langley First Capital Barbershop Chorus, which is marking its 40th anniversary this year, has raised nearly $100,000 for the Langley Christmas Bureau in the past 15 years. The concert will be on Dec. 17 at the Christian Life Assembly church at 21277 56 Ave., next door to Langley Secondary School. The church is donating the use of its venue for the concert, so more proceeds can go to the Christmas Bureau – allowing many children and their families to have a brighter Christmas. And of course, as always, the performers are donating their time, as well.

The award-winning Langley Children’s Choir will perform at the concert, with their 75 enthusiastic young singers. Under the direction of Patti Thorpe, Kim Hardy, and Heather Hicks, the talented young singers consistently bring a bright and cheerful sound to delight audiences throughout the Fraser Valley and beyond. Admission to the concert is $20 for adults, $15 for students and seniors, with donations for children under 12. The Langley Christmas Bureau helps families in the community who find themselves in the position of not being able to provide their children with the basics at Christmas time. The annual concert goes a long way to helping them provide necessities, and sometimes a little extra for the youngsters, during the holiday season by providing food hampers, gifts, and many of the things that are so often taken for granted by others. More information is available at www.langleychristmasbureau.com. Come out for a good old-fashioned, feelgood Christmas show, complete with singalongs, while supporting the bureau.

ver wanted to show elected officials how you feel, with a pie in the kisser? This December, not only will a few lucky folks get to pie their Langley mayors, but they will be helping the Canadian Cancer Society at the same time. On Dec. 18, the Langley Relay for Life will be kicked off with a Skate and Breakfast with Santa at the Langley Events Centre. The jolly old elf will be on hand starting at 10 a.m., and will be available for photos by donation. Then, at 11:30 a.m., a number of local volunteers, along with Township Mayor Rick Green and City Mayor Peter Fassbender, will sit down to be pied in the face. On Tuesday, Langley Relay chair Howie Vickberg demonstrated proper technique, getting pied by Santa while the mayors looked on. Green thanked Vickberg for coming up with yet another fun and creative idea to raise money. Both mayors are personally motivated to raise money for the Relay for Life. Fassbender is himself a cancer survivor, while Green’s

Participants at the event will probably have a chance to take part in a raffle for a chance to wield one of the pies, said Relay organizer Shannon Todd-Booth.

Trinity U taking a break this year Despite its popularity for the past three Christmases, Trinity Western University’s Spirit of Christmas is on hold this year. The university has welcomed more than 15,000 people for the event since its beginning, but the break this year will be used to prepare for TWU’s 50th anniversary, which will be celebrated through various events during the 2011-12 academic year. The Spirit of Christmas event requires months of planning and volunteer effort of about 200 TWU staff, faculty and students.

“It costs in the neighbourhood of $80,000, most of which has to be raised with sponsors,” said TWU president Dr. Jonathon Raymond. “The remainder is absorbed by the university. It is not inexpensive to do.” Although the Spirit of Christmas will not happen this year, many other Christmas events open to the public will be hosted at TWU, including concerts and plays. Visit www.twu.ca for details about upcoming events.
