Perfect weather encouraged more spectators to come out for the annual Magic of Christmas Parade Saturday night in Langley City.

“Honestly, it was the best parade to date,” said Teri James, head of the Downtown Langley Merchants Association.

With draft horses drawing Santa and Mrs. Claus, and more floats and larger crowds than ever before, it all went off without a hitch, James said.

She estimated crowds between 203rd and 207th Streets along Fraser Highway were twice as large as last year, with people lined up five-deep in many places.

James said a rough head count came up with between 5,000 and 6,000 people.

There were 47 parade entries this year, about half a dozen more than the previous best year.

Because of the cool, dry weather, those entries could include a pipe band and several equestrian groups. In previous years, cold, wind, rain, or even snow has kept horses and pipers from participating.

The colourful floats and entries in the parade were varied, including local businesses, horses, children, sports groups, and even jugglers.

Live music began between 5 and 6 p.m. at several locations along the parade route, serving to help indicate that people could spread out, rather than all clustering on the one-way section of Fraser Highway, as they have in past years.

The planners of this year’s parade have been working since August to get everything organized, James said.

Now they’ll have a short break. Many of them also work to plan the annual Community Day Parade in the summer.

Planning for that will start early in the New Year.

A 35-year-old woman is in police custody, her 34-year-old boyfriend in hospital

in serious condition after a stabbing in Aldergrove Saturday.

At about 10:30 p.m., the Langley RCMP was called out to help paramedics with an injured man in the 27000 block of 29th Avenue.

Officers found that the man had been stabbed. The victim was airlifted to a hospital for treatment.

The woman was also injured, but she was treated at the scene and then taken into

custody at the local RCMP headquarters.

No charges have yet been laid, said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokesperson for the Langley RCMP. The incident is being investigated by the Serious Crime unit and is considered a domestic violence incident, Marks said.

The victim is now in stable condition in hospital.

Marks couldn’t say if the couple was known to police before this incident.

Cops ready to lock up drunk drivers What’s online

Metro Vancouver wants to remind residents about the impact Christmas shopping can have on landfills.

During the first two weeks following Christmas, up to 4,000 extra tonnes of garbage winds up in solid waste transfer stations.

The reminder is part of a new Metro Vancouver program aiming to recycle more solid waste.

With the holidays comes a little merrymaking. Sometimes too much, especially if it’s followed by driving.

Lawrie to sport Toronto colours soon Langley’s Brett Lawrie has no reason to be blue now that he’s becoming a Jay.

by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

The worst-kept secret in baseball trades will see Langley’s Brett Lawrie, currently signed to the Milwaukee Brewers, heading north to the Toronto Blue Jays.

In a one-for-one swap, Lawrie is being swapped for righthander Shaun Marcum.

The Jays said Sunday they would not confirm any of

the rumours, but various Milwaukee media are reporting that the trade is a done deal, pending the outcome of physicals.

The Brewers and Jays are expected to make the announcement during baseball’s Winter Meeting.

The Jays have said they are looking to stack the roster with younger, more controllable players.

The Jays have wanted Lawrie since the 2008 First-Year Player Draft, but he was taken by the Brewers 16th overall, and the Jays had selection 17.

While he was listed as a catcher in the draft, the Brewers

have moved Lawrie to make him a second baseman.

The 20-year-old hit .285, with eight home runs and 63 RBIs for the Brewers’ Double-A Huntsville, Alabama, squad in the 2010 season.

He had the highest Canadian player draft position ever, and has been tagged as Milwaukee’s top offensive prospect.

Lawrie was a member of the Canadian Junior National Team at the 2008 World Junior Baseball Championship, where he led the tournament with a .469 batting average.

And he was snapped up to play for Canada at the 2008 Summer Olympics.

Langley Minor Hockey

Nation watches hockey at Langley Events Centre It was Hockey Night in Langley Township as the CBC kicked off its national tour last weekend.

by Adrian MacNair

news@langleyadvance.com

CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada was in Langley Township with former NHL coach Ken Hitchcock last weekend on the first stop of the Hyundai Hockey Nation tour.

Bob Woykin, Langley Minor Hockey Association president, said the event was sold out and a great hit with the kids.

“It was pretty exciting,” Woykin said. “There were a lot of happy parents and kids.”

The event featured a four-hour coaches symposium on Friday, a combined 12 hours of ice hockey clinics for children aged 8-12 on Saturday and Sunday, and an outdoor festival all weekend.

The clinic was run by Ron Davidson, director of Ultra Skills Hockey Schools, with Hitchcock assisting.

Township Mayor Rick Green MORE said the community was one PHOTOS of only seven chosen for the ONLINE tour across Canada.

Hyundai Canada donated a Tuscon to be raffled off, the proceeds of which will go to the LMHA. HNIC is continuing its tour across Canada, with the next stop scheduled in Edmonton, Dec. 10-12.

Former National Hockey League coach Ken Hitchcock was one of the guest instructors during the Hockey Night In Canada festival. Hitchcock led the Dallas Stars to a Stanley Cup victory in 1999.

“Since wooden clothespins are a staple in my life it was easy to be inspired by them for a photo. I like the contrast between the old metal bucket and the texture of the modern day soft fabrics – old tradition meets modern lifestyle.”

Pearson’s photo is being displayed alongside the top ten photos in a special display at the Behind the Scenes Exhibition at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria. The show started Nov. 30 and continues to Jan. 9.

Photos were judged on originality, relevance to theme, composition, lighting and technical quality and overall impression. This year’s judging panel included marketing representatives from BC Hydro, a Royal BC Museum representative, co-founder of Run for One Planet, Matt Hill and the 2009 contest winner, Larry Paris.

“There are many ways for individuals to make simple sustainable lifestyle choices every day,” said Lisa Coltart, BC Hydro’s executive director of Power Smart. “The purpose of the photo contest was to spread public awareness about the importance of being good caretakers of our beautiful province’s natural resources. Laurie’s photo reminds us that sustainable options can be found among the simple things that surround us daily.”

A list of the top ten winners and their photos can be found at londondrugs. com/teampowersmart and at flickr.com/ bchydro.

To join Team Power Smart and get information about ways you can be smart with your power, visit bchydo.com.

Langley’s Laurie Pearson has made the top ten list in BC Hydro’s annual Team Power Smart photo contest.

Pearson’s photo was picked from more than 660 entries from across the province. Through the photo contest BC Hydro asked Team Power Smart members to take an artistic approach to sustainability. This year’s theme – “my favourite green thing” – had the judges looking for photos that established a clear link between electricity and conservation.

Pearson’s winning photograph focuses on using a clothesline, which is an efficient alternative to using the dryer, the most energy consuming appliance in the home.

The photo features a close up of some clothes pegs and a load of freshly dried laundry.

As an award for her photo, Pearson has won a $100 gift card to London Drugs and a copy of Earthopoly: Team Power Smart Edition, an exclusive board game available for purchase in limited quantities by Team Power Smart members.

“Fifteen years ago, I installed a hanging line in my laundry room that allows me to hang clothes conveniently and regardless of the weather. With two kids active in sports, laundry is a daily occurrence in my house,” said Laurie Peterson.

Archival photos a unique gift idea The history of Langley is on sale – in picture form – this Christmas from the Centennial Museum.

by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

The Langley Centennial Museum is hoping to share memories of the past with Langley residents this Christmas.

The museum is promoting one of its long-standing services as a holiday gift idea. For years, the museum has offered prints from its archive of more than 6,000 historical photos. But they’ve never gone out of their way to remind people around the holidays, said museum curator Kobi Howard.

The photos go back as far as the 1880s or were taken as recently as 2004.

They range widely in subject matter, with the earliest photos of early pioneers clearing land, working amid massive trees, or at early sawmills.

Other photos come from the past few decades, and include pictures of everything from local political figures to sports teams posed with trophies.

“We’ve got tons of class photos,” Howard said.

Howard said the museum gets requests for photos all year round. One of the most common reasons for a request is a local family that wants an old photo for a birthday or anniversary present.

They also get quite a few requests from restaurants and cafes, which want photos of Langley streetscapes from half a century or more ago.

Howard’s personal favourite photos are the street scenes of Fort Langley, Langley Prairie, and Murrayville from early in the community’s history.

The museum charges $10 for a five-by-seven inch photo, and $17 for an eight by 10. Digital copies are also available, but there’s more paperwork involved due to copyright issues, Howard said.

Most of the museum’s photo collection can be seen online at www.langleymuseum.org. To contact the museum about a photo, call 604-888-3922.

THE

Langley Centennial Museum curator Kobi Howard showed off an early 20th Century photo of a snowy day in Fort Langley.

Photos such as this are for sale from the museum.

For the past two weeks, the word WikiLeaks has been inescapable in the news. Politicians and diplomats have been scrambling to either apologize for the information, or to vilify the leaker.

Last week, we had a major Canadian political operative, former advisor to PM Stephen Harper, call for Julian Assange, the public face of WikiLeaks, to be assassinated. On live television.

Tom Flanagan later apologized, and said he was a joking.

While there is plenty in the WikiLeaks data trove to make us question institutions, one person has come off quite well. Canadian diplomat William Crosbie apparently vented his feelings about the government of Afghanistan in discussions with his U.S. counterpart. Crosbie called the Afghan elections rigged, said the international community shouldn’t go along with it, and said western nations must be “prepared for a confrontation” with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

After this became public, Crosbie offered to resign.

Resign? Why should he resign for forcefully arguing for free and fair elections?

For hoping that Canada and its allies will stand up to our supposed Afghan friends over corruption, nepotism, and tyranny?

Resign? We should promote this guy!

One of the best decisions Harper has made was to stand behind Crosbie.

A total of 153 Canadian soldiers have died in Afghanistan, along with a reporter and a diplomat. The Canadian Forces are in Afghanistan for the ostensible purpose of bringing democracy, stability, and freedom, especially for that country’s oftenvictimized women and girls.

That Crosbie worries about corruption is a good thing. That Canadian diplomats want to stand up for democracy is a good thing. Crosbie clearly wants the wretched mess that the Afghan war has been to count for something. If nothing else, WikiLeaks has shown that, behind the “diplomatic” language, at least one diplomat is guided by ethics.

Gambling on better awards

Fort Langley

Noise worse elsewhere

Dear Editor, Geoff Letts [Relaxation more difficult in village, Nov. 23 Letters, Langley Advance] feels that Fort Langley is no longer a relaxing place to live since the Albion Ferry closed down, as he feels the the main road has turned into a freeway.

He feels it is no longer possible to enjoy a coffee on the patios at coffee shops because there is too much noise from motorcycles and trucks passing through.

I am not a resident of Fort Langley, but I do frequent the area to get away from the hustle and bustle of the heart of Langley.

The noise of a few motorcycles or a truck now and then is nothing compared to the ongoing traffic and busy atmosphere of Langley City.

Besides, often those people driving the motorcycles are just heading over to enjoy a coffee themselves.

Glover Road could have been used by trucks as a shortcut off 232nd Street to Port Kells before the ferry closed down, so that’s not really a new issue.

It’s true that semi-trucks are not the quietest vehicles or the nicest to look at, but if that provides a faster route for a trucker on a schedule, then I don’t see the problem: they are just as welcome to take shortcuts as the rest of us.

Also, if they are reaching Port Kells down 96th Avenue, then they do not have to pass the coffee shops in Fort Langley, so you probably wouldn’t see them unless you were walking down the street, or in one of the stores around 96th Avenue.

I happen to have many friends who are

new mothers and are also very cautious drivers who adhere to the speeding and cellphone rules. To say that all young mothers are bad drivers is a bit of a stretch.

Also, how can one be sure that the young moms are the only ones talking on cellphones and speeding? Many people do it, so young mothers shouldn’t have to take the blame alone.

And again, it’s not the result of the Albion Ferry closure – it’s just a matter of people needing to show a little more caution in town.

Maybe having police patrol the Glover Road and 88th Avenue area every so often will cause people to use more caution, if they expect that cops might be around.

In all honesty, it’s often hard for a person to go 40 km/h. I am not saying speeding should be allowed, but perhaps the speed limit is just a little too slow for what the area can accommodate.

Most other places have 50 km/h as the maximum speed. If people are going around that speed, maybe the Township should think about increasing the limit a little, to cut down on the problem.

As a person who lives in Langley City, I would not hesitate to head to Fort Langley and enjoy a day walking around or stopping for lunch, as it is still much more relaxing than living in town.

Besides, traffic is inevitable. If you’re out for a day with great friends and family, it is the people you’re with who make the experience enjoyable. It doesn’t matter if a few extra vehicles are driving by.

Fort Langley

Volunteers dealt with light issues station at the last minute when some of the people couldn’t make promises work on their end. So the committee of one had to do some last-minute dancing.

After much preparation, 20 volunteers from the Fort Langley Canoe Club rowed a volunteer Santa down the Fraser River in a lighted war canoe and delivered him to the dock, to cheers from the kids, and his picture taken a hundred times.

The tree was apparently checked and ready, but when we found out 30 minutes before the event that it

Euthanasia

Execution makes world less

Dear Editor, Legalized hard drugs being handed out on the streets, a society that tolerates gangs and their paraphernalia, and now society allowing a man to walk free after a wellplanned, successful execution of his own daughter.

Think about it. Had this man executed his daughter with the family farm shotgun, he would have been condemned.

Because he had the smarts to do it neatly and cleanly with gas, society has taken a more lenient view of the whole affair.

Had this man executed his daughter with gas, a shotgun or in any other way for “disgracing the family name,” he would have been condemned and never would have been allowed to walk.

For some misdirected reason, because this man’s daughter was a poor, helpless wretch, Canadian society is prepared to accept the foolish, murderous act of this man.

We are living in a different world, and it’s not one for the better.

hadn’t been and only part of the lights were working, we made sure everyone gathered on the side that was going to light up.

Everyone cheered, and the kids clapped, and as the saying goes, “It was a pretty nice tree, Charlie Brown!”

Tom from the Sunrise Rotary Club volunteered to serve free hot chocolate to the kids, and ran out due to the bigger than expected crowd.

Have you noticed how many times I’ve used kids and volunteers in this letter?

It was an event for the kids and they went home happy, even if some of the adults didn’t get the expected gratification.

There was no budget for this event because the money is tight for events in Fort Langley, all put on by volunteers and part-time help.

Next year will be bigger and better, so please come back. Better yet, phone the BIA office and volunteer.

I have worked with many builders in this community, and it was all accomplished by doing, not complaining!

Merry Christmas!

Drug addiction

Family gives back after recovering

They’ve overcome so much and now enjoy giving to others.

Ian Smith, Postmedia Network Inc.

Both Kari, 45, (right) and daughter, Madison, 22, have been clean from drug addiction for over five years. Both help out at the Langley Christmas Bureau, where they, at one time, had to turn to for help.

She’s also an accomplished English student, able to write poignant poems about her traumatic experience of witnessing domestic violence as a child.

“It’s amazing to see how far we’ve both come,” Madison said, nodding at her mother. “If we’d have kept doing drugs like we were, we probably both would be dead.”

Kari smiles, holding back tears.

“I get to see hope in faces, and gratitude in tears,” Kari said.

Looking back…

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

Langley Prairie seeks independence Seventy Years Ago

DECEMBER 5, 1940

• Langley High School’s football team beat Chilliwack 3-0 to win the Les Ayers Silvertown Cup. • For the sports minded there was rollerskating every Monday evening in the community hall, while dancers could pay 25 cents a session Saturday at Murrayville Hall, or 75 cents for gents and 50 cents for ladies for the Snowball Frolic at Cloverdale Athletic Hall.

• At a banquet in the Langley High School auditorium, the Evangelical Free Church formally announced plans for a Trinity College for Canada.

Forty Years Ago

DECEMBER 10, 1970

• Dense smoke from a chesterfield fire, which gutted most of St. Andrew’s United Church, claimed the lives of Rev. Leslie Charles and his 11-year-old son David Thomas. One other occupant escaped without injury.

Sixty Years Ago

Thirty Years Ago

• Dredging the Bedford Channel before the spring freshet reached Fort Langley was expected to cost $75,000. The volume of silt to be removed was estimated at 290,000 yards.

• A secession committee, to explore the chances of incorporating Langley Prairie as a separate municipality, held its first meeting.

• Langley School Trustee Dave Bahr was returned to the board chair without a ballot. He identified personnel management as a critical issue facing the district for the coming year.

DECEMBER 7, 1950

Fifty Years Ago

DECEMBER 8, 1960

• The Royal Bank of Canada let a $142,000 contract for a new bank in Langley.

DECEMBER 3, 1980

Twenty Years Ago

DECEMBER 5, 1990

• Langley School Trustee Marlene Grinnell was returned to the board chair by acclamation, as was vice-chair Barbara Foxwell.

• Langley City council was considering a bylaw to make fire prevention sprinklers mandatory in

certain types of buildings.

Ten Years Ago

DECEMBER 5, 2000

Congratulations to Langley Advance Advertising Representative Peggy O’Brien for her recent President’s Club award for sales excellence in 2010

• After TransLink passed its heavily protested vehicle levy, Langley Township Mayor Kurt Alberts, along with Delta and Surrey, considered the option of leaving the GVRD and TransLink altogether.

DECEMBER 8, 2000

• A rash of armed robberies in Langley – up to four per day – was putting a damper on Christmas spirits.

• Langley City Mayor Marlene Grinnell, asked to chair a TransLink governance review, recommended that more community representation be added to the board.

Under the current board configuration, Grinnell represented Langley City and Township, White Rock, and Delta.

• Langley City’s new community centre, still weeks from completion, was named after the local pioneer Timms family.

• Langley Township council voted unanimously to seek a legal opinion on the validity of the vehicle levy passed by TransLink.

RECIPE

Brussels Sprouts in Beer

Replenish your body and soothe your spirit.

Langley City Councillor Teri James I always hated those little round cabbage-like vegetables my parents forced me to eat every Christmas, and as a result, I never served Brussels sprouts at any Christmas dinner I prepared.

One year we went for dinner at a friend’s house, and she dared me to try one.

Under protest, I finally caved to the peer pressure.

Imagine my surprise when I tried one and it was delicious.

The recipe is extremely easy and turns the ordinary bitter taste of a Brussels sprout into a lovely addition to a Christmas meal.

here’s always food that means Christmas to each and every one of us.

For some, it’s how their mom made potato dumplings in a special way, while for others, it may be that special dish that was only served up during the holiday season.

Heather Colpitts/Langley Advance

Playing a role in the 3Rs for Seniors program are (left to right) Nicole Severin of Renaissance Retirement Resort, Margaret Birkett (seated), program coordinator Cheryl Wheaton, Doreen and Tom Murphy, Gloria Hall-Proehl, and Gertrude Dietl.

Even though Tom and Doreen Murphy were from different parts of the United Kingdom – he from Dublin and she from Doncaster – they both hanker, at this time of year, for the taste of Doreen’s traditional fruit cake soaked in wine. To make the half dozen or so cakes that she would turn out each holiday season, it started with a whopping 10 pounds of dried fruits.

Sweet Potato (or Yam) Gratin

RECIPE

Shannon Todd Booth, Langley Relay coordinator, Canadian Cancer Society

My in-laws, who live over in Nanoose Bay on Vancouver Island, always come over for the holidays, and my mother-in-law and I always prepare our family Christmas feast together.

We love to do a few of the dishes up ahead of time, so we have more time to visit and play games with the kids, or have a martini or two.

I lost my mom a couple of years ago, and I feel enormously blessed that I have such an amazing mother-in-law with whom to share this emerging family tradition.

My girls, Zoe and Hope, look forward to it every year.

This dish is one of our favourites.

Ingredients 4 tbs. unsalted butter 6 cups thinly sliced yellow onions ½ tsp salt ½ tsp back pepper 2 cups heavy cream 3 sprigs fresh thyme

Preheat oven to 350ºF and put oven rack in the middle.

Cook the onions in the butter over medium/low heat, slowly stirring occasionally, until unions are soft and nicely browned (30 minutes or so).

Season with salt and pepper and remove from heat and set aside.

Put the heavy cream, thyme, orange zest and cayenne in a sauce pan, bring to a boil, remove from heat and let sit for 15 minutes, then remove thyme sprigs.

While cream sits, peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1/8-inch slices.

Lightly butter a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Arrange about 1/3 of the potatoes in a double layer on the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping, and lightly season

2 tsp. freshly grated orange zest tsp. cayenne (or more if you’re brave) 5 medium sweet potatoes (or yams) 1 cup pecan halves toasted 2 tbs. fresh breadcrumbs 2 tbs. freshly grated parmesan

1/8

with salt and pepper.

Spread about a third the onions over the potatoes and drizzle about one third of the cream mixture over top Arrange another third of the potatoes in two more layers and season with salt and pepper, then spread remaining onions and another third of the cream mixture.

Layer the remaining potatoes, and press flat, then season with salt and pepper and add the final third of the cream mixture trying to cover all the entire layer.

Put a foil lined baking dish on the lower rack underneath to catch drips – your oven will thank you.

Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for about an hour – until potatoes are almost tender but still a little firm when

pierced with a fork.

Remove foil and bake about 30 to 40 minutes – until potatoes are completely tender and the top is lightly browned and bubbly.

Meanwhile, take the parmesan and pecans and blend/grind/pound them until they’re coarsely chopped.

Raise the oven temperature to 375ºF and top the dish with the gratin/pecan mixture, and return to the oven for 10 minutes.

(Serves 10-12 people)

• If you want to make this dish a day ahead, just leave out the last two steps, and then the day reheat the dish for 20 minutes at 375ºF, then add the topping and bake for 10 more minutes.

Happy Holidays

On the Christmas dinner table are noisemakers called crackers. Crackers are wrapped in fancy paper, at each end there are pulltabs.

When the tabs are pulled a loud noise or crack with some sparks are produced.

Inside the cracker there may be a paper hat, a toy and some candy. In most English homes when the crackers are open, you must put on the hat and enjoy the contents of the cracker.

When you go Wassailing, it means you are going to visit neighbours and receive goodies.

In England, Santa is called Father Christmas. Children send letters to Father Christmas by burning them up in a fireplace. It is thought that the requests are carried to Father Christmas in the smoke.

Take all of your favourite old Christmas cards, cut them up and organize them into a collage.

Secure them together with glue. After this is done, cut them into an oval shape and frame them to make some unique, beautiful place mats. My children did this with their grandma a few years ago and they turned out fantastic. We still get them every year.

Some cards are just too beautiful to throw away!

STAR LAKE CHINESE FOOD

The decorations on the Greek tree symbolize the real gifts on the family trees. The tree is decorated with presents on Christmas Eve which remain on the tree until New Year’s Day (St. Basil’s Day). Then they are opened. The children believe that St. Basil gives gifts to them. It is believed that St. Basil makes his visits to the homes by way of a boat.

Christmas trees

Plan turns to tree farming

A local environmentalist will be selling trees for Christmas.

From tree advocate to tree farmer.

It may seem logical, but it wasn’t the original plan for Doug McFee, until he spotted a property on 50th Avenue one day last spring.

At that point, everything seemed to fall into place.

McFee, who has spent many years lobbying the Township of Langley to plant more native conifers, found a family property where native trees thrived.

“I had been looking for a larger property for two or three years,” McFee said.

“But after looking at a few different parts of Langley, I realized that I couldn’t really leave the Salmon River area,” said the long• ALDOR ACRES 8249 252nd St. 604-888-4483 www.aldoracres.com • CHURCHLAND 4726 248th St., Langley 604-996-1046 www.churchlandtreefarm.com • COUNTRY NOBLE (New location) 4870 236th St., Langley 604-835-4709 www.countrynoblechristmastrees.com • DOGWOOD 8659 River Rd.

time director of the Salmon River Enhancement Society.

Fortuitously, while driving to look at another property, McFee decided to turn off 248th Street and drive west on 50th Avenue.

“I don’t think I had ever been down that street,” he said.

At the end of the road he noticed that the Schroeder property was for sale.

“I was really happy to find a large property on the Salmon River,” chirped McFee. “To find trees on the property was a bonus.”

The Schroeder property in Aldergrove has been operated as a Christmas tree farm for many years.

“Many will remember Abe Schroeder who, with his wife Margaret, and their two sons Bob and Ed, would set up their tent and campfire every winter for their annual Christmas tree sale,” McFee recounted.

Like much of the Salmon River Uplands, the property has some of the best soil in the Fraser Valley.

“It is ideal for Fraser and noble fir, which make beautiful Christmas trees, but can be difficult to grow,” McFee said.

For him, the tree business has been a challenge but the alternative of shutting down the tree farm held no appeal.

So with the help of Margaret and Bob Schroeder, who “spent a lot of time helping me find my way,” and the aid of the South Western BC Christmas Tree Association, the doctor and now tree advocate hung out his farming shingle and opened for business Nov. 26.

“The farm has made me even busier than before,” said McFee, “but it is a nice change to be out on the land getting things done.”

He said that the farm has become a good family project with

Following his father’s passing, the family sold the farm to Doug McFee, a vocal environmental advocate in Langley, who (with the aid of his family) will pick up where the Schroeder family left off in the tree farm business.

Tree prices will range depending on the size and variety of the tree between $40 and $60 each.

The farm offers hot chocolate and candy canes for children. Customers can either cut their own tree or choose a tree that will be cut for them.

“I am looking forward to seeing many people I know, and meeting the many people who have traditionally bought trees at the Schroeder property over the years,” McFee said.

Also new on the Langley tree farm scene this year is a couple who have been at it for a while.

Dora and Ole Sorensen have moved their operation from Surrey to a new spot in South Langley.

“Remember us, our old tree farm on 156th [Street] and 90th [Avenue],” Ole said.

They’ve set up at 1729 236th St., and it’s a U-dig or U-cut set up with people asked to bring their own shovel or spade.

No chainsaws or axes allowed.

Handsaws are provided, with visitors able to select from Douglas fir up to nine feet tall, and noble and grand firs up to six feet – all $25 each (cash only).

Cookie storage tips and tricks

On the ‘Wet Coast’ it can be difficult to keep crisp cookies crisp and other cookies from sticking together.

To absorb moisture, the little silica packets from vitamin bottles and other edible products can be used in airtight cookie containers. Or put a small piece of clean, untreated maple wood in the oven at a low temperature, and put the dried wood in beside the treats.

For many years now, my wife Charlene and our very good friend Sharon Paterson have gotten together to do their annual Christmas baking.

One of the highlights are these wonderful cappuccino shortbread cookies, which are special for two very simple reasons.

The first is that they go so well with coffee or milk.

The second is the fact that the chocolate that they are dipped in is that extra treat that, quite honestly, I love to suck off the end of the cookie even before I consume the rest.

The other secret I need to let out now is that, when any one of the three grandchildren were fussy as babies during the Christmas visits, I would soften the chocolate on the end of the cookie and then spread it around their lips. It was amazing to see them stop crying and begin to lick the chocolate slowly away!

Everyone was convinced that I had great grandparenting skills to soothe fussy babies… well… I guess I did.

Every time I have one of those cookies, it reminds me of those special times that I got to spoil my grandkids.

Maybe that is why they all love the cookies today, as well!

Cream butter and sugar together.

Beat in coffee and vanilla.

Stir flour and cornstarch together and blend into butter mixture.

Plan a Cookie Exchange Langley City Councillor Gayle Martin Taking part in a cookie exchange is a great way to share favourite treats and get an array of delectable baking.

• Invite six to 10 people to the exchange, typically at someone’s home.

• Guests should RSVP, so each knows how many are attending. A general rule is to make one dozen cookies per person attending, plus an extra dozen for tasting. When guests RSVP, have them send their recipe, so there is no duplication in the cookies made.

• In the invitation, include a note that each guest must bring extra containers.

• The cookie exchange host will want to have some nibbles and refreshments available for the exchange, as it’s meant to be a party of sorts, and not a quick in-and-out.

• Some parties also include collection of non-perishable foods for the local food bank or money for a worthy cause.

Braeden Dolfo

Teen track star in line for prestigious award

A Langley high school student is nominated for a national award but the winner won’t be announced until next summer.

by Heather Colpitts

hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Langley’s Braeden Dolfo is one of four athletes in the running for a national award as the outstanding para-athlete of the year.

The 17-year-old Langley Secondary student has been nominated by Athletics Canada, the national body for track and field.

The teen is up against Ontario athletes ranging from 27-37 and heard the news late last week.

“That’s pretty exciting to have that happen,” he commented.

It’s also quite an accomplishment for an athlete who has only been competing in the para-athletic side of track and field for about a year.

Dolfo, who is legally blind, is a member of the Langley Mustangs track and field club as well as the Langley Secondary Saints.

“It was my first year in the para stream so I didn’t expect anything like this,” Dolfo said.

He will carry the nomination with him as he heads to Christchurch, New Zealand, to compete in the

The nomination comes thanks to his growing list of accomplishments.

Dolfo holds the Canadian record in the T13 long jump and high jump.

He’s currently ranked number two in the world, according to his club.

The nomination has him now thinking he could shoot for that number one spot.

The Athletics Canada award winners will be announced after the Canadian Championships in Calgary next summer.

In the meantime, he continues working hard at school and athletics, laying the foundation for his future.

Dolfo wants to go into some sort of counselling/consulting professionally but also expects to keep his hand in sports in the future, likely through coaching. In the short term, he’s looking internationally and watching the calendar.

Two out of three ain’t bad for the Chiefs road trip

by Matthew Claxton and Troy Landreville

sports@langleyadvance.com

Chiefs 3, Nanaimo Clippers 1 The Langley Chiefs played rock ‘em, sock ‘em hockey in their Sunday game – maybe a little too much so.

The Chiefs clipped the Nanaimo Clippers three to one, scoring a marker in each of the three periods.

But the path to their victory was a rocky one, caused largely by the Chiefs’ insistence on piling up penalties.

“We dug ourselves a fairly deep hole and still managed to survive,” said Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl. “It’s an area that

we’re trying to address.”

The Chiefs racked up two penalties in the first period: Brandon Thompson for unsportsmanlike conduct and Tyler Miller for tripping.

But in the middle frame, Cody Rowand, Dillon Scholten, Brad McBride, and Josh Hansen all accumulated plenty of time in the box.

McBride and Hansen were both given five minutes and game misconducts.

Despite drowning in penalties, the Chiefs managed to find the net.

Kit Sitterley scored in the first period, Josh Myers in the second, and Trevor Gerling found the net in the third.

have a chance for revenge.

Chiefs 3, Alberni Valley Bulldogs 1 The Chiefs spread their scoring out across three periods, with Josh Myers scoring first at the 12:09 mark in the first period.

Austin Plevy made it 2-0 12:52 into the second frame, with Sam Mitchell of the Bulldogs making the one and only goal for his team just 21 seconds before the end of the period.

Brandon Thompson put the cap on the game with his goal at 19:40 of the second period.

Alberni Valley may not have found the net as often as the Chiefs, but both teams gave as good as they got in a rough game.

The middle period in particular saw the teams trading penalties, with fighting, tripping, cross checking and slashing.

Sudden impact

Langley’s Ben Van der Goes couldn’t get past the Port Moody goalkeeper in U18 gold boys soccer action recently at McLeod Athletic Park, but Langley United eventually did, pulling out a last-minute 3-2 win. Down 2-1 with about 15 minutes to go in the match, United coach Louis Tolnay made changes to spark some offence. The tactics paid off when Jordan Brennan scored the tying goal, and then Colin Russell notched the winner for Langley United with just 30 seconds left. Adrian Van Wyk scored Langley’s opening goal. United currently sits in fifth place in the nine-team league with a 2-3-1 record.

For the H.D. Stafford Skyhawks Grade 8 football team, the first couple of miles on the road to the B.C. title were bumpy.

But after an 0-2 start to their season, the Skyhawks re-invented themselves as a winning team, and ended their season in style.

The Skyhawks are this year’s BC High School Football Association Tier 2 champions after beating the Abbotsford Middle School Huskies 20-12 at Burnaby Lakes Sports Complex.

Following their rocky start, the Skyhawks practised hard and committed to learn the game of football, according to their coach Kyle Anderson.

They went a perfect 3-0 in the playoffs to win the Double A title.

During last Tuesday’s championship game, the Skyhawks never trailed.

The Langley squad opened the scoring on its second offensive possession, after a 20-yard reception and a strong run after the catch by Scott Helders left his team looking at a short first-and-goal situation.

On the ensuing play, Skyhawks’ quarterback Kristjan Storrie snuck in for the opening score of the day.

The two-point convert attempt was carried in

by Helders, making the score 8-0.

Early in the second quarter, the Huskies mounted an attack, and eventually scored on a nice 20-yard run.

They were denied the two-point convert as Stafford led 8-6.

With 16 seconds remaining in the first half, the Abby defence bit hard on a fake, allowing Storrie to score a 40-yard touchdown on the misdirection play.

Stafford led 14-6 at the half.

After the the break, a boot from Skyhawks kicker May So La, who has been outstanding all season long, pinned the Huskies deep in their own territory.

The H.D. Stafford defence then forced Abby to punt and once the offence took over, the Skyhawks methodically moved the ball up the field.

The Skyhawks racked up several first downs on their way to the end zone.

H.D. Stafford’s 12-play, 70-yard drive resulted in Storrie’s third touchdown of the day, bringing the third quarter to a close.

The Huskies mounted a comeback in the fourth quarter and scored once to narrow their deficit to 20-12, but H.D. Stafford’s relentless attack on defence made the difference as the clock wound down.

“As time ticked away they [the Huskies] were forced to use all of their time-outs and on the final play of the game, the ‘Stafford D’ held strong, bringing home the team’s and the school’s first-ever provincial championship,” Anderson reported.

The Langley Midget Ones went to the Emerald City last weekend with one goal in mind, as they attended the Seattle Junior Hockey Fall Festival.

They wanted to avenge their loss in the final last year to a team from Abbotsford.

With five returning players and a host of new faces, the Ones set a goal before heading south: playing in the final game and giving themselves a chance at redemption for the previous year’s failure.

Feeling that they had not played their best game during that final, they were determined to get there

again, and show those attending the tourney and the organizers that they were the team to beat.

“This was our fourth year in a row attending the tournament, and having won in 2008 we had hoped to repeat last year,” head coach Norm Williams said of the Ones trip south of the border on the American Thanksgiving long weekend.

Langley associate coach Brian Carey said the team felt like it let one slip away last year.

“We wanted to make sure that we atoned for that this season,” Carey added Led by the goaltending tandem of Shane Carey, and Dawson Kuhn, the Ones only allowed four goals in the five games, and closed out the tournament with a solid 4-1 victory over the North Delta Wreck Centers.

The victory over North Delta was

highlighted by a hat trick from Joel McGuire.

Two of McGuire’s markers came while his team was shorthanded.

McGuire scored six times to go along with four assists during the tournament.

Ones centre Colin Burroughs added seven points while his teammate Kevin Williams paced the defence with seven points of his own.

“It was great to see the guys come together and really bond as a team, and achieve their goal,” associate coach Scott Douglas said. “They went through some real adversity during our game against Coquitlam.

We called a time out, the guys settled down and we went on to prevail in that game 4-2. After that they knew they had a chance to win the whole thing.”

Silver service

The Langley Fundamental Middle School senior boys volleyball team brought some hardware home after their silver finish in the AA finals at the high school provincials in Kelowna. The school has only been around for four years but put on an impressive show at provicials. The senior girls team came in seventh while the junior boys placed ninth and the junior girls were 10th. That means all four of the school’s volleyball teams finished the season in the top 10 in B.C.

POOLE, Dorthea Fay

July 10 1915- Dec. 1, 2110 It is with great sadness we announce that our beloved mother Dot Poole passed away peacefully at the age of 95 years. When we think of sunny days, loving ways, and the kindness too, our hearts are filled with the special thoughts of you. Dot was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She married her childhood sweetheart Charlie Poole who predeceased her on the same day, December 1st, 1964. They first moved to Vancouver and then took up residence in Langley in 1938 where our mother made our home until she passed. Her life revolved around her family: Ed (Mandy), Don (Jan), Bob (Sharon), Donna (Mike), Tom (Norma), brother Norn Beanland (Betty), (and in Loving Memory daughter-in-law Marlene Poole and son-in-law Mike Millegan). Pride and joy 12 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren, many nieces and nephews. For many years Dot was recognized in the original Langley 5 cent to $ store.

There will be a graveside service for the immediate family and a celebration of her life at a later date.
