LangleyAdvanceChristmas in Williams Park,a Langley tradition for morethan 20 years, has beencancelled after thieves havestruck for the second time.Thieves have managed to kill

off a holiday tradition that hasbeen running in Langley since1991.On Oct. 18, it was discovered

that a sizeable amount of lightsand extension cords used toset up the annual Christmas inWilliams Park event had beenstolen from a storage container.The Grinch truly stole

Christmas in Williams Park,said Barb Sharp, president ofthe Christmas in Williams ParkSociety.For the first time in more than

two decades, the park will notbe decked out in lights and dis-plays, thanks to the loss of about$10,000 worth of equipment.This is the second year in a row

the event has suffered seriousloss to thieves, and while lastyear a massive late effort savedthe event, the organizers say thatthis time there is not enoughtime to come up with the moneyand human resources required tostage the light show.The society had just started

meeting and planning for theevent when the theft was discov-ered. The organizers seriouslylooked intowhether theycould continue,but replacingthe lost equip-ment wouldhave wipedout the cashreserves ofthe organiza-tion.How do

you bounceback fromthat? saidSharp.Our vol-unteersare thinking, Again? Wegot hit again? It really is a dis-appointment.Each year, Williams Park has

been adorned with thousands oflights, inflatables, cut-outs, andother decorations that transformthe natural space into a winterwonderland.Guests are invited to drive

through the park for two weeks,and the event has culminatedwith two nights of entertainment,horse-and-carriage rides, refresh-ments, and a visit from Santa.Money to hold the annual event

comes from donations collected

from the public, and it is stagedthrough the work and efforts ofthe volunteer-run society, withsupport from Langley Townshipstaff.Numerous community mem-

bers, service groups, and organ-izations such as the Elks Club,Trinity Western University,CUPE, and local firefighters allcome out to set up and clean

up, serve food and drinks,and provideentertain-ment.However,

over the years,Christmas inWilliams Parksvolunteerbase has beendiminishing,and those whohave worked tomake the eventhappen are feel-ing depressed bythe rash of theftsand vandalism.We lost all

the lights we had, said Sharp.The volunteers were so deflated.What can we do? The commun-ity has been very generous inthe past, but we simply cantraise enough money in that timeframe.

The volunteers dont thinktheyll find their missing decora-tions and cords by searchingonline auction sites.The police have told them the

equipment was likely strippedfor the wires inside, which was

sold as scrap metal. The amountof money the thieves could havegotten for the wire as scrap ispaltry compared to the amount itwould cost to replace everything.In December 2013, Christmas in

Williams Park was under threatafter many decorations werestolen and items vandalized.Gemmy Industries of Dallas,

Texas, read about the thefts ofdecorations and the vandalism atthe parks Christmas display.We came across your original

story online aboutthe recent theftsthis organizationhas suffered thisyear and felt theneed to help returnsome of the holidayspirit, company president JasonMcCann told the Langley Advance inan email.We hope our donation has

helped to restore your commun-ities holiday cheer and wish youall a Merry Christmas.Volunteers were able to get the

displays up for the annual walk-in event that is hugely popularwith families because of activitiessuch as horse-drawn carriagerides, pony rides, visits withSanta, hot chocolate and live

entertainment.The society just cant pull

together the event for 2014.Thisis not the end of Christmas inWilliams Park, however.However, Sharp said that

organizers are planning to moveforward next year.She is getting ready an effort on

Facebook to find more volunteersfor the annual event.In the time between this

Christmas and next year, shesaid the storage situation for

the equipmentwill have to beupgraded some-how.Sharp said that,

during the hiatus,the society will

seek help and contributions fromthe community to regenerate theevent, along with a new place tostore its decorations.She has approval from the com-

mittee to look for support fromother organizations, the businesscommunity, student groups, andclubs, as well as community vol-unteers.We are going to turn a nega-

tive into a positive and comeback with an event that is spec-tacular, Sharp said.

A dog and two cats surviveda fire in a Fernridge homeon Thursday.by Matthew [email protected]

Langley Township firefightersdoused a house fire and saveda dog and cats in BrookswoodThursday.Just before 2 p.m., several

firehalls were dispatched to the20060 block of 22nd Street inFernridge, where a split-levelhouse was on fire.Nick Bermister, who lived

upstairs, said his girlfriend washome when the fire started. Shesmelled smoke and managed toget out with two of the familypets, two dogs.However, Nick, and brother

Sheldon Bermister and ChandraDurrant who lived downstairs,were away at work. Theyrushed home, but Sheldon andChandras dachshund Tobby andtwo cats were downstairs in thebasement. The familys hedge-hog was also in a cage inside.The fire started in the attached

garage, and from there spreadinto the upper level of thehouse, where it started to travelalong the underside of the roof,sending up huge clouds of whitesmoke. Fire crews soaked theoutside of the building withwater and foam to knock out thefire before it could get throughthe roof.The crews managed to sup-

press it quite well, said districtfire chief Russ Jenkins.Several residents arrived not

long after the fire, called byNicks girlfriend, and had towait nervously for more thanan hour to see if their pets werealive. Although the fire waslargely confined to the inside ofthe roof, smoke billowed fromseveral points under the eaves.Firefighters wearing breathingapparatus headed inside armedwith hoses and hooked poles toattack the fire as it kept spread-ing inside the roof.Bemister was re-united with

his dog when firefightersbrought Tobby out more than anhour after the fire had started, inhis cage.With the fire largely under

control, Bemister was takeninside to help round up one ofthe two scared cats that werealso on the ground floor.Durrant said the other cat was

not found on Thursday, but bySaturday it was thought to havebeen located alive, according toTownship firefighters.Unfortunately, Nick Bermister

said the hedgehog didnt sur-vive.Local emergency shelter ser-

vices were finding the family aplace to stay overnight, and theywere expecting to be allowedback in the house, possibly assoon as noon on Friday if thebuilding was structurally sound,

to see if anything else could besalvaged.The cause of the fire remains

unknown, said Jenkins, but it

is not thought to be suspicious.Fire investigators were look-ing at the site again on Mondaymorning.

Jean Schaffer, left, and Debbie Froese organized and donned their fascinators for the annual Thank You ForCaring tea Sunday.

A high tea attracted500 people and raisedthousands charity.by Matthew [email protected]

A forest of fascinatorsdotted the ballroom atLangleys Cascades CasinoSunday as the Thank YouFor Caring tea got under-way.The whole event was a

fundraiser for the LangleyChristmas Bureau, whichcollects toys and Christmashampers for families thatcant afford to buy gifts atthe holidays.The annual event is also

known as the MayorsWives Tea, organizedthis year by Jean Schafferof Langley City andDebbie Froese of LangleyTownship.The duo found a huge

number of people eager tocome back after last yearssuccessful Thank You ForCaring Tea.We almost sold out two

weeks before the event,said Schaffer.The event saw 500

people gather in their fin-est duds for tea, a lunch-eon, and entertainment.There was also a great

deal of community sup-port even before the eventbegan.

Sarah Rind donated ajewelry package of a ster-ling silver necklace, brace-let and earings from theSky Phoenix Wild Star col-lection, valued at $2,000.The prize was distrib-

uted through Christmascrackers, one of whichcontained a ticket for thejewelry.Frostings Bakery donated

the desserts and otherbusinesses also providedgoods.Before the festivities

commenced, there was areminder about the goodcause behind the tea andcupcakes.Were probably the

only business in townthat doesnt want itsnumbers to go up everyyear, noted event MC JimMcGregor as he welcomedthe crowd.But numbers are up, said

Leigh Castron, who is oneof the main bureau organ-izers along with McGregor.At this time last year,

305 families had regis-tered with the Christmasbureau. There are alreadymore than 400 registeredfor 2014, and 70 of thefamilies are new to thecharity.Castron said it does

seem demand is going up.We certainly do need

your help, she told theassembled crowd.The event was a success,

on both attendance andfinancial support for theChristmas bureau.Not only was it sold out,

but Castron said the entireevent seems to have mademore money than in 2013,when it raised $23,000.At press time on Monday,organizers were still count-ing the proceeds.

The local private Christianuniversity faces a new challengefor its law school.by Heather [email protected]

Trinity Western University isfacing the loss of provincial approvalfor its law school.Under the approval granted

by Advanced Education MinisterAmrik Virk, the school must enrolstudents by December 2016. TWUhad planned to open the schoolSeptember 2016 but it now incourt fighting law societies in B.C.,Ontario and Nova Scotia over theirnot accrediting the school. Without

accreditation TWU grads could notpractise law in those provinces.The Virk gave the school until

Nov. 28 to respond to the potentialloss of provincial approval.We are considering our

response, said TWU president BobKuhn, JD. We remain confidentthat the carefully evaluated deci-sion of the minister will not changebecause of public pressure.TWU would be the first law school

at a private Canadian university.TWU is fighting back against those

who dont believe a religious-basedinstitution can educate lawyers whocan represent clients of differentbeliefs.TWU is mounting court challenges

against the legal societies of NovaScotia and Ontario for decisions not

to accredit the school which meansits grads cannot automatically prac-tice law there. Those cases are incourt Dec 16-19 for Nova Scotia andin mid January 2015 for Ontario.Virk noted that those legal actions

may not be done before the prov-incial approval expires. Hes askedTWU to submit a response.At heart is the schools Community

Covenant that is a behaviour pledge.Students and staff must sign it. Thepoint of contention is the coven-ants insistance of sexual abstinancebefore marriage which it defines asbetween a man and a woman.Some have said its homophobic.TWU, which started 52 years ago,

said its convenant has sparked anational debate on religious free-dom.

A reckless hunter firedout the window of histruck on a busy Langleystreet.by Matthew [email protected]

Langleys pinto deerwas shot last month in anincident that ConservationOfficers say was dangerousand illegal.Its careless use of a

firearm is what it is, said

ConservationOfficer JackTrudgian.Somebodycould have comearound the bendand he couldhave killedsomebody.The incident

took place onOct. 2 at 4:45p.m. around the80000 block of232nd Street.A man in a sil-

ver newer-modelToyota pickupwith a canopy stopped onthe road, stuck a rifle outof his window, and shotthe pinto deer where itwas standing in a nearbyfield.Trudgian said the man

fired across the oppositelane of the roadway. Histruck was stopped nearthe top of the sharp curvewhere 232nd Street dropsdown towards the SalmonRiver floodplain.The deer, about 75

meters away and standingon private property, washit once in the head andkilled instantly.The pinto deer had dis-

tinctive brown-and-whitemarkings. Pintos are anuncommon variation indeer colouration, and thisone had been known in

the neighbourhood for sev-eral years.The shooter did not get

out of the truck to retrievethe deer; he simply droveoff.Trudgian said the mans

actions broke numeroushunting and gun use laws.Ive been here 10

years, and Ive never seensomeone shoot off a roadand across a highway,Trudgian said. With thesharp curve in the road,there was no way to seeoncoming traffic while hewas preparing to shoot.Hunting in Langley is

legal, but only on private,agricultural property withthe permission of the prop-erty owner. Hunters canonly shoot when they areat a certain distance from

houses and schools.Conservation

Officers are nowinvestigating thisshooting, and exam-ined the deer beforeit was disposed of.They are ask-

ing for tips fromthe public, as theybelieve by now theman may have saidsomething or toldsomeone what hedid.We think this

guys a local guy,Trudgian said.

While 232nd Street is arelatively busy road, itsmostly used by peoplewho live or work inLangley.The shooter is possibly

a sport shooter, or morelikely a hunter. His shotwas very accurate.However, the way he

shot was wildly reckless,Trudgian said.The B.C. Wildlife

Federation offers rewardsfor tips that lead to theconviction of poachers,which would include thiscase.The reward is up to

$2,000. Anyone with a tipshould call the Report AllPoachers and Polluters(RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277. Tips can remainanonymous.

cussed local politics.Maybe that was because we

lived outside of the city, wheremayors and aldermen held nosway over the nuts and bolts of our existence.So while I was fairly well versed in the com-

ings and goings of federal and provincial andinternational affairs from a very young age,I was a blank slate when I attended my firstlocal council meeting at the start of my news-paper career at the Langley Advance nearly 38years ago.I went into that first meeting a little awe-

struck, Ill admit. Here I was, just a kid fromthe country, stepping into a position of import-ance, to report to the rest of my new commun-ity the decisions that their (now our) leaderswere making.A number of things struck me about that

first meeting.I went in there expecting to encounter the

communitys greatest minds, its most noblemembers, its wisest participants and I cameout with the realization that thats not howdemocracy works, after all.

Because my brushes with politicians up tillthen had been at a distance people whorated appearances on the nightly news andthe front pages of newspapers I was unpre-pared for the ordinariness of the people sittingaround the council table.Indeed, I learned over the years, through

personal encounters with MPs and MLAsand an occasional premier or prime ministerthat the reality of those folks at the LangleyTownship council table was the reality of pol-itics in general, from Ottawa to Washington,from cities like Vancouver to comfortable vil-lages like Pitt Meadows.They are ordinary people. Some are ordinar-

ily affable, and some are ordinarily pompous.A few are more intelligent than the rest of

us, a few are less intelligent than the rest ofus, but most fall right around the mid-range,

like the rest of us.They have ordinary friends

and ordinary acquaintances andordinary faults.Most arent really leaders.

They just follow the pack likethe rest of us, and struggle to dothe right thing when they can,like the rest of us.

And some are outright jerks.Indeed, there seem to be more jerks in pos-

itions of leadership these days than there usedto be.But then there seem to be more jerks in gen-

eral than there used to be.I seem to recall when being a jerk got you

labelled as a jerk and it cost you, sociallyand economically. If you ran a business like ajerk, youd lose business. Plain and simple.Now, it seems, being a jerk can win you

admiration, as long as you do it right.It used to be that if you did a dirty deal on

anyone in the community, the whole commun-ity would soon know, and youd pay the pricefor taking advantage of one of us.Today, it seems the person who fell for the

dirty deal is seen as a loser and the guy whodid him dirt gets ahead.Society, community, business, politics it all

boils down to what we accept as ordinary.

Odd thoughts

I went in expectingto encounter thecommunitysgreatest minds.

OpinionOur View

Begin fightingviolence at home

Today is the International Day for theElimination of Violence Against Women.

In Canada, our first thought is usuallyabout what we might be able to do forunfortunate women who live in oppressivesocieties in other parts of the world.

Its easy to associate the problem withMiddle Eastern countries like Iran, wherelegal restrictions on womens rights andmovements result in harsh punishments forwhat we would consider minor infractions(if we see them as infractions at all).

An assault on womens freedoms inTurkey has been making the news. Turkeyspresident has asserted outright that womenare not equal to men, while suggest-ing that the special status accorded tomother in Islam his view of Islam, at least makes it all right.

After a few decades of an apparentlygrowing global awareness of the rights ofwomen, it seems things are moving backtowards darkness.

But the problem isnt over there.Its right here at home. Up to 50 per cent

of women in this country have suffered sex-ual or physical abuse. The concept of equalpay for work of equal value still wins deri-sive laughter from many men, despite thefact that it is a significant problem with thewage gap running at anywhere between 10and 20 per cent, depending on sources.

Those are rough estimates, but hereare some more solid numbers StatisticsCanada has determined that, every night inthis country, an average of more than 3,000women are sleeping in shelters to escapeabuse, and an average of more than 400 perday cant be accommodated by Canadas600 or so existing shelters.

Women are 11 times more likely thanmen to suffer sexual violence. In Canada.

And children are often caught in themiddle when Mom gets beat up or cant geta decent job and feels she has to live in fearof Dad.

Violence against women gets internation-al attention. But the solutions have to startright here at home.

Reaction to our story about the B.C.government perhaps withdrawing itssupport for a law school at TWU wasntterribly supportive of TWU:

Dee Perkes Perhaps they can take that support andbuild us a new high school then.

Hammer Jason Good, I hope they lose it twice. Havethey tried praying to God for him to step in? Oh wait, weall know why that will never happen (hes not real).

Aaron Sifo-Dyas Does it make sense at all for them tohave the school if graduates wont be allowed to practiceanywhere? I dont understand why its still a possibility.

Vicky OConnor Yup, like he said.

Letter-writer Todd Hauptmans views on the needfor shelter for homeless youth, on the other hand,received considerable support.

Lilianne Fuller Well said. Great letter.

Simmi Dhillon Good for you Todd for bringing this up.Enough of Langleys brushing it under the rug politics.

Dear Editor,I have not questioned this in a while, but

it is now becoming apparent that the situa-tion is out of control.Continual 24/7 pumping out of our

aquifer at the corner of 248th Street and52nd Avenue just seems to never end!At this time of year, it is vital that our

aquifer be recharged after a long and drysummer, but the construction companyseems to be completely ignorant of thatfact. We have now noticed the pumpingfor a solid three weeks, even on weekends,and yet there seems to be no action or signof completion of the work in that one spotwhatsoever.What is going on there? No other portion

of the line has taken this long.I realize there are still a lot of issues with

the line, including what is happening at theSalmon River, but if work isstalled, then why must we besubjected to seeing our waterjust pumped out, day in andday out? If they cannot workthere right now, then shut offthe pumps.At this point, all our wells will

be dry by the end of the year.Congratulations to our mayor and coun-

cilors in the recent election, but now wereally need to see some action on this vitalsituation.

West Langley

Playgroundpig points toprogressDear Editor,How times have changed,

eh? Back in the day whenLecole des voyageurs wasTopham Elementary Schoolin West Langley, a hog wan-dering onto the playground[Rogue pig corralled atWalnut Grove school, Oct.30, Langley Advance] wouldhave been no big deal.Most of the kids could

have told you where it hadcome from, and some ofthem would probably haveknown its name. A fewmight even have been fromthe farm it came from.A couple of the Grade

6 boys would have got-ten some rope for a halter Grade 6 boys always hadaccess to rope and wouldhave led it back to its pen.No Code Yellows.No RCMP.Isnt progress wonderful?

Brian Johnson, Willoughby

Dear Editor,The Salmon River

Enhancement Society hassignificant concerns aboutthe East Langley pipelineproject carrying water toAldergrove. The pipelinehas caused major damageto the banks of the Salmon

River at 52nd Avenue and244th Street. Small tributar-ies, at least one of whichappears to be a coded (i.e.protected) tributary, havebeen covered over and lost.A wider swath of trees

and vegetation has beenremoved than promised.

Removing trees destabilizesthe steep ravine, so a land-slide is possible.When the project was first

contemplated, SRES advo-cated routing the pipelinealong 64th Avenue ratherthan 52nd, as 64th wouldhave carried with it a muchlower environmental risk.Compounding the risk,

Langley Township chose notto directionally drill the pipefrom the top of the bank.We have yet to be given anadequate explanation forthis failure. Directional drill-ing would have preventedthe destruction that has hor-rified the neighbourhood.

Doug McFee, Langley

Poor choices risking environment

Federal government

Ads should bemore positiveDear Editor,The federal government spent a lot of money promoting

the use of fireworks. Ads were on TV, as well as on thegovernment web site and elsewhere.Somehow, the ads promote Canada as strong, proud and

free. I dont understand the connection between fireworksand strong, proud, and free.Someone set off fireworks here in Murrayville, and it con-

cerns me that the persons setting them off may have beeninfluenced by federal government ads.I would like the Township of Langley to contact and try

to convince the federal government to advertise more posi-tive things.A good example would be to promote organic garden-

ing. Canadians have a much better chance of being strong,proud, and free if they eat organic food rather than thepesticide-contaminated processed food in the stores today.

manager of animal welfare Jayne Nelson right), recognizes outstanding contributions

by a volunteer to helping LAPS staff, volunteers, and animals. Janzen has been helping

out for eight years, and among his many volunteer duties, he has driven the tractor more

than 10,000 kilometres around the shelter property in Aldergrove. Meanwhile, (below left)

ence to kids whose families mightnot be able to afford things mostpeople take for granted.Giving couldnt be easier. Theres

a pajama drive Dec. 6 and 7 to gath-er up donations.The campaign started with a nurse

at HealthLinkBC who retired fromit in 2013. Initially it was just donethrough work.Last year the pajamas were donat-

ed to two groups 100 pairs to theOak Avenue Neighborhood Housein Surrey and 100 pairs to LangleysChristmas Bureau.A co-worker of the nurse,

Robertson took on the role of jam-mie fairy and the pajama campaignis now open to the public. All dona-tions this year will go to the LangleyChristmas Bureau.People are asked to drop off a pair

Einstein once said that if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life thinkingthat its a failure. The same goes for academics. Students learn and process information differently andif your child doesnt process information in the way that it is presented in the classroom, they too may

think that theyre a failure.

What if all your child needs to dois to learn to convert informationinto a format thatthey can processeasily. Sure, you canput the onus on theteacher to present theinformation in differentways, but withcrowded classroomsand so many differentlearning styles, itsimpossible to fulfilleveryones needs.

Luckily, help is at hand. Start bydetermining what kind of learneryour child is. Most children have apreference for one kind of learningbut can manage a mix of styles.

Visual learnersThese kinds of learners like videos, pictures, charts, infographics and information displayed in a visualmedium.When presenting information or new concepts, search for educational videos on the internet orexplain using graphs, charts and drawings.

Auditory learnersGood listeners, these students like to attend lectures and can benefit from reading aloud when they

study. They can download webinars and podcasts from the internet andwill do well in more traditional classrooms settings. They like to talk anddiscuss and often enjoy music. Let them explain things to you and talkabout topics that might come up in exams, and even record lectures inclass.

Tactile learnersMotion learning and lessons that involve action are the best way to teachthese kinds of learners. They like to do experiments, make observationsand record their findings. If, for example, you are teaching geometryto tactile learners, get them to measure angles on their desk and findmissing values.

Organizing notes, studying, and doing homework in a way that is tailored to a students learning style willresult in better understanding and recall of study material.
