Lovable as he is, Santa Clausoften draws mixed reactionsfrom
little ones ranging fromsuspicion (above) to dread in thecase of
two-year-old BenjaminLockhart (right, being assured byhis dad
Brett) to inquisitiveness,as shown by five-year-old LucySmith (far
right). They were allat a Breakfast With Santa eventhosted on
Saturday by theCity of Langley at the DouglasRecreation Centre.
Langley farmers are cautiousas avian influenza has hit fivefarms
east of here.
MATTHEW [email protected]
A highly pathogenic strain of avian fluhas been found at five
Fraser Valley poultryfarms so far.Three chicken and two turkey
farms,
in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, have beenaffected.The Canadian
Food Inspection Agency
announced that early tests showed thatan H5 type flu virus was
found in birds atthree additional Abbotsford poultry farmsafter the
initial outbreak.About 11,000 turkeys were in one infect-
ed barn on a farm in Abbotsford, but mostof the birds there have
already died ofH5N2 influenza, said Dr. Jane Pritchard, thechief
veterinary officer for B.C.s Ministry ofAgriculture.The 17,000
birds in another two barns on
the property will also have to be destroyed,Pritchard
said.Further birds will be destroyed at the
other farms, and CFIA officials are keepingwatch for any other
cases.Dr. Harpreet Kuchar, chief vet for the
CFIA, said the strain of flu is highly patho-genic.We are
reminding farmers to practice a
high level of bio-security, he said.Local turkey farmers were
being cautious.This is a concern for all of
us that grow birds, said JaniceMcWilliams, office manager atJ.D.
Farms in Aldergrove.Heightened bio-security
means locked gates and othermeasures around poultry farms.That
augments the alreadyexisting bio-security poultryfarms have to
uphold.I believe everyone is concerned, and
everyones got a heightened level of aware-ness, said Michel
Benoit, general managerof B.C. Turkey Farmers.There are
restrictions in areas close to the
outbreak sites on moving everything frommanure to birds, Benoit
noted.
Despite the loss of tens of thousands ofbirds, there shouldnt be
a price shock forthose buying Christmas turkeys in the com-ing
weeks, Benoit said.While producers might be able to ask for
slightly higher prices, grocery stores typical-ly subsidize the
prices of turkeys to draw inshoppers, Benoit said.Out of province
suppliers are also being
contacted to make sure there isnt much ofa supply strain, said
Benoit.
So far, there hasnt been asingle case of the flu reportedin
Langley.The flu is so deadly to birds,
its obvious when something iswrong, said Pritchard.If it hits,
the producer isnt
going to miss it, Pritchardsaid. When it hits, it hits
hard.Even if a flu-infected bird made its way
onto store shelves, avian influenza isntgenerally dangerous to
people provided thebird is cooked properly.Bird-to-human
transmission is rare and
generally only happens with people whowork closely with
poultry.

Saturdaynight as partof the CountryChristmascelebration.
Troy LandrevilleLangley Advance
Unseasonably mild weatherand little rain was greatnews for all
those whowatched and participatedin the annual Magic ofChristmas
Parade.
TROY [email protected]
Organizers of the annual Magic ofChristmas Parade can thank
their luckystars, hidden behind a blanket of clouds,for ideal
weather, especially consideringthe time of the year.Past parades
and surrounding festivities
still drew huge crowds, despite conditionsalternating from
frigid to sopping wetover the past few years.The temperature on
Saturday was
downright balmy considering it was anearly evening parade on
Dec. 6.Entries travelled east along Fraser
Highway, and crowds consisting mainlyof families with children
lined both sidesof the street to welcome them.The guests of honour,
as usual, were
Santa and Mrs. Claus, riding in the backof a horse-drawn
carriage. They closedout the parade.This year, the Country
Christmas
celebration that is held in conjunc-tion with the parade changed
locations,from the Douglas Recreation Centre toMcBurney Plaza,
which was sparklingwith Christmas lights and decor for
theoccasion.Once again, snow sculptors extraordin-
aire Bruce Waugh and David Dureaultcombined their talents to
create a sculp-
ture using snow from Langley TwinRinks.Using sharp tools, it
took the two about
five hours, a fair chunk of the workdone in steady rain, to
create a MerryChristmas piece that is a change of pacefrom its
predecessors.Waugh said they came up with the idea
to make a more photo friendly sculpturethat people could use as
a prop for theirfriends and loved ones to pose around, sothey could
use it for potential Christmascard pictures.

OUR VIEW
Fantino notup to snuff
Why is Julian Fantino aminister of anything?Fantino,
currentlyunder fire for his hand-ling of Veterans Affairs,started
as a controversy-courting cop inOntario, heading up the Toronto
policeand then the OPP.
In 2010 he jumped to federal politics a natural Conservative, as
he was oneof the few police chiefs in the country tocriticize the
Long Gun Registry.
Since then hes held relatively minorcabinet posts, but he hasnt
exactly dis-tinguished himself. He was an associateminister of
defence when no one, not evenactual minister of defence Peter
McKaycould answer questions about fighterjet procurement. He was
Minister forInternational Cooperation when he forgotthe difference
between politics and gov-ernment and posted anti-NDP screeds onthe
website for the Canadian InternationalDevelopment Agency.
To be fair to Fantino, problems withserving Canadas veterans
cropped up longbefore he took over as minister in thesummer of
2013.
But he certainly hasnt done much toclear things up. Fantino has
been in placefor over a year, and yet this summer sawveterans
gather to protest in Ottawa.Weve also seen him bungle
interactionswith vets seeking a meeting on the clos-ure of Veterans
Affairs offices. He laterclaimed the vets were pawns of
largeunions, an utterly bizarre idea.
Most recently, hes fumbled the $200million pledged for veterans
programs.After the big announcement, it emergedthat the money is to
be doled out over upto 50 years, but Fantino was caught flat-footed
by questions on the money issuesin Parliament. To rub salt in the
wound, itwas also revealed that overseas war graveswere behind on
upkeep. Neither living nordead veterans were being served.
Fantino is either bungling the programsof his office, or he
simply doesnt under-stand them. Hes alienated his
ministerialconstituency of former soldiers.
The opposition has been calling for hisresignation, and its hard
to see why heshouldnt turn it in.
M.C.
Surprise, surprise. Christmas cakesand socks are the least
appreci-ated gifts Canadians receive. Theyget returned more than
any othergifts after Christmas.Now wait a minute! What do you
mean, returned?You mean to say, people actually give
back the things I give them?!?You mean to say that, if
someone
doesnt appreciate my gift or yours that individual may callously
returnto the place where I purchased it (andwhere I probably
sweated blood to getmy credit card swiped only secondsbefore the
closing bell on ChristmasEve), and get SOMETHING ELSE!!!??Whatever
happened to Its not the gift
that counts; its the thought that goesinto it?The credit company
that informed me
about the masses of returned Christmascakes, tube socks, and
other under-appreciated expressions of love alsonoted that heres
another big surprise,coming from a money-processing plant people
prefer to receive gift cards.That is supposedly based on the
assumption a wildly mistaken assump-tion, I would suggest that
nobody everstands in line at the Returns counter tobring back a
gift card.Perhaps a large percentage of tube
sock recipients turn them in to get some-thing else instead.
But EVERY gift card istraded in for somethingelse except for
those thatare put aside and forgottenor otherwise end up neverbeing
cashed in (whichturns out to be a fortuitousbonus for the store or
shopthat has its money and neednever deliver the goods).Since
virtually all recipi-
ents trade in their giftcards for something else,it remains as
my mommytaught me when I was just a wee tad:straight money is never
really appreciat-ed as a gift; you have to give somethingthat is an
expression of yourself for it tobe really and truly appreciated.The
trouble is, most of us dont really
think about what we give. When wepick out Christmas gifts, we
rarely everput a serious effort into trying to expressourselves to
the ones we love (or theones we feel we have to buy somethingfor so
they dont cut us out of the will).As Donna so succinctly put it as
we
sat watching a movie that made an occa-sional appearance between
its enablingadvertisements: We sure do buy a lot ofgarbage for
people who dont need any.Heres an idea for gifts that give
twice.And absolutely everyone even that
rich, crotchety, old uncle can enjoythem.
Instead of buying eachof your 43 cousins each apair of $5 socks,
and allof your dozen and a halfaunts and uncles each aChristmas
cake, put themoney all together in oneof those socks and use it
tobuy something for someonewho really needs it.Maybe buy a
water
well from Ten ThousandVillages, to alleviate thirstand disease
for dozens of
children in a part of the world in whichjust living is a
dangerous adventure, anddrinking a glass of water is like
playingRussian roulette.Or think about buying a couple of
piglets, or a rooster and some hens, ormaybe even a goat from
World Vision,to feed a destitute family.How about enough seeds for
a whole
garden, from Foster Parents Plan?Maybe you want to stay closer
to
home? The Langley Christmas Bureaucan always use a helping
hand.Send your cousins a card telling them
how their Christmas gift money madelife a little more bearable
for childrenwho really needed a warm coat ormaybe even those
socks.And if they dont appreciate it... well,
then suggest they take it to the Returnscounter.

Dear Editor,A person or people
dumped young kittens allover Langley last month.We were only
able to find
and rescue one of two kit-tens dumped in the parkinglot at 200th
Street and 86thAvenue. As soon as theLangley Animal
ProtectionSociety (LAPS) heard abouttwo terrified kittens foundnear
the Starbucks on Nov.8, their TNR Team wasdeployed.I was one of a
few volun-
teers who spent a combined80 hours over a three-weekperiod,
searching, handingout flyers, setting up feedingstations and
shelters. Wewere only able to find one shes a treasure, an
abso-lute delight, and is currentlybeing treated at the LAPSshelter
until shes ready to be adopted.It was a miracle to have found her
after
a week during the first Arctic front of theseason, and we are
happy about that. Butwe are devastated that we couldnt find
herlittermate, likely perished in the bitter cold,caught by
predators, or hit by a car.Two kittens dumped at Derby Reach
Regional Park were found and are nowsafely in foster care with a
LAPS volunteer.We hope more werent dumped there.One kitten was
found in Walnut Grove
near Telegraph Trail. Again, we hope therewerent more that we
didnt find.The four kittens coincidentally look simi-
lar fluffy coats, with very fine facial fea-tures and are the
same age. They may befrom the same litter, dumped them all over
town, leaving little chanceof survival.I cant imagine how
some-
one could do that to tiny,defenseless kittens.Were also
concerned
about the mama cat. Toavoid this happening toher again, she
needs to bespayed. If you cant affordto get her spayed,
manyshelters provide free spay orneuter certificates.If you no
longer want
her, or are no longer able tocare for her, please surren-der her
to a no-kill shelter,where they can find a homefor her. There are
two inLangley: LAPS, at 604-857-5055, and CARES at 604-532-5632.If
you have kittens or
cats that you dont want orcant keep, have a heart,
and rather than dumping them like garbage,drop them off where
they can get the careand attention they need.If you cant take them
to a shelter, please
drop them off at a pet shop or a veterinaryclinic, where the
staff will know what to do and not after hours, please, leaving
themin the cold to die.While some might find it morally offen-
sive to abandon kittens, it is not a criminaloffense. You will
not be in any trouble. Soplease take a little care and make sure
theyget the chance at life that they deserve.It is a sad fact that
some people think cats
and kittens are disposable. But they are liv-ing beings that
feel fear just as we do, thatfeel cold and hunger and pain.
Lawana Quest, Langley
Kittens abandoned all over Langley
There are better ways todeal with kittens like Chiquita(above)
and another foundin Walnut Grove thanabandoning them to fear,pain,

Dear Editor,As an adult Grade 12
English student, I was givenan assignment to report ona local,
current, and contro-versial news story. I selectedOppenheimer Park

our loved ones.For a homeless person,
there is little to celebrate.Their needs are basic:
warmclothing, non-perishablefoods, and toiletries.I would like to
challenge
the citizens of this city tosimplify their gift-giving,and
donate to the homeless.Leave the Coach purses andPrada ties in the
stores thisseason. Drop your changeinto the Salvation

food to the local foodbank. Open your heartsand your wallets, and
getinvolved.Small acts of kindness can
make a big difference.Kristin Dwviniczuk, Langley

Avenue
One-stop organic grocery shopping!
Its official: the time has finally come to deck the halls, trim
the tree, wish joy upon the world and allthat good holiday stuff.
But dont forget to take some time for recreation as well - and
theres no placebetter to do that than just across the border in
Washington State.
Kyle Fuller, marketing director at the Downtown Bellingham
Partnership, said winter sports are one ofthe most popular
activities in the region.
Its the biggest one that comes to mind, largely because of our
proximity to the Mount Baker ski area,said Fuller.
Lots of people like to come for the weekend, stay downtown or in
Fairhaven, eat, sightsee and then goski and snowboard up there.
Just two hours drive from Vancouver, getting to Mount Baker is
as easy as taking Exit 255 off of the I-5.Providing a variety of
runs for all skill levels, lessons are also offered for
beginners.
After working up a sweat, visitors can take part in the annual
Shop DineCelebrate event downtown happening Dec. 12 to 14.
Special deals at participating shops and restaurants will be
going on allweekend, as well as a festive holiday atmosphere
throughout the district.
Were going to have carollers as well, and a raffle for shoppers.
The prize will bea downtown Bellingham gift basket with lots of
goodies from local businesses,she said. Shoppers can enter the
raffle using social media with #bhamSDC whiletheyre downtown. All
they have to do is tag any Facebook, Instagram or Twitterposts with
the hashtag, and they will be entered automatically.
The theme of shopping locally extends to the nearby
neighbourhood ofFairhaven that features dozens of non-chain, family
owned shops andrestaurants residing in historic buildings.
One of those is Village Books (1200 11th St.), an independent
bookstore open since 1980. Bring the kids on Saturday, Dec.13 from
11 a.m. to 12 p.m. when Santa will be visiting and handing out
treats. Afterwards, hell be making his way to theVillage Inn where
there will also be horse-drawn carriage rides available.
