A Langley volunteer was subject toanother background check last week,due to a change in policy.by Matthew [email protected]
Sam Omelaniec is facing the prospect ofbeing fingerprinted every year, thanks to acoincidence of birth.
Omelaniec, a prominent Langley business-man and volunteer, has been reading to chil-dren at Douglas Park Elementary for the pastdozen years.
This year, when he wasrenewing his criminal recordcheck, he was told there wasa complication. He apparentlyshares the same date of birthwith a pardoned sex offender.
“They know it’s not me, butofficialdom has to clear me inOttawa,” Omelaniec said.
On Thursday last week,Omelaniec had to be fingerprinted at theAldergrove Community Police Office. Hisfingerprints will be checked against the sexoffender. All Omelaniec knows about the
man is that they were both born on thesame day in 1938.
The fingerprinting is part of a new pol-icy when volunteers work with vulnerablepeople – typically children but also the elder-ly or handicapped.
“You can change your namelegally when you get out of jail,”said Langley RCMP Supt. DerekCooke. “You can’t change yourdate of birth.”
Therefore, the new searcheswill prevent people from slippingthrough the cracks if they’vechanged their names.
However, it is also resultingin more matches on birth-dates, and more people get-ting fingerprinted in Langley,Cooke said.

Watch for the LangleyChristmas Bureau tree atWillowbrook ShoppingCentre.
As volunteer coordinatorfor the Langley ChristmasBureau Gifts for Kids Treecampaign, she’s in theenviable spot when itcomes to helpers.
“I have people calling mein September saying ‘Don’tforget me,’” she said.
So with an army of vol-unteers at the ready, thecampaign begins Dec. 1.That’s when the public willsee them in WillowbrookShopping Centre with thetree.
People are asked to stopby with an unwrapped giftfor a child from birth to 18and volunteers will acceptthe toy and put a tag on thetree saying the gender and age related to thedonation.
Then everyone can watch the live treedonated by Langley City and near thePurdy’s each time they are in the mall to seeit get more and more festooned with tags.
The volunteers will be at the tree duringmall hours (9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. most dayswith Sunday hours 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.).
The volunteers can also help people withsuggestions on gifts as it can be difficult to
buy for kids. People who want to donate butare unsure of what to get can give moneywhich the bureau can then use to purchasespecific gifts for children of certain ages.
Anderson noted that tax receipts can begiven for donations of $10 or more (but notfor gift certificates) and the volunters canaccept cash or cheque donations.
Anderson is no stranger to the LangleyChristmas Bureau. She’s been helping therefor about three decades and recalls whenit was a few volunteers operating out of a
back office in City hall.She’s coordinated the
tree campaign for aboutseven years and relishesinteracting with the donorsand recipients.
“I’ve always been toldI’m a Christmas person sothis is right,” she said witha chuckle.
Anderson is like themany people who helpat the bureau, wantingto help ensure a brighterChristmas for childrenwho might not other-wise have one. Langley’sChristmas Bureau remainsthe only entirely volunteeroperation in the LowerMainland and it appearsthat demand isn’t goingaway anytime soon.
Organizers have noticedan increased demandalready this year.
“Last year at this timewe’d registered 429,” saidJim McGregor, the bureauorganizer.
As of Nov. 26, theLangley Christmas Bureauhad 470 families signed upfor 2010.
But while demand is up, donations aredown. McGregor said the level of donationsseems to pick up starting Dec. 1. The vol-unteers there have their fingers crossed thatthe community comes through again.
McGregor noted that there are somegifts the bureau asks people not to donatebecause it ends up deluged with dolls andstuffed toys.
What the bureau needs most are gifts forkids 13 and older.
“Always 13-16 is the toughest,” he noted.

A deadline extension givesTransLink time to talk aboutmore funding options.by Matthew [email protected]
There will be more time forLower Mainland mayors to comeup with a funding solution forTransLink.
Langley City Mayor PeterFassbender, head of the mayors’council that oversees funding
for the transit authority, said anextension until the spring hasbeen granted by the provincialgovernment.
The mayors’ council had beenfacing the prospect of a Dec. 9vote on whether or not to boostproperty taxes in 2012. A highertax rate would have paid forTransLink’s Moving Forwardplan, which includes theEvergreen Line SkyTrain exten-sion, the North Fraser PerimeterRoad, and a number of majornew bus routes.
However, the property tax plan
was highly unpopular with mostregional mayors, and the votewas headed for a likely defeat.
Fassbender said the changegives the mayors more time todiscuss the problem with theprovincial government.
Fassbender has always saidthat the property tax increasewas a “backstop” measure.
“I think we need to look atcarbon taxes, and what thephilosophy of carbon tax is,”Fassbender said.
Other possible funding sourcesare reallocating federal gas tax
revenues, and even tolls androad pricing.
Fassbender pointed out thatcurrently it’s the Fraser Riverthat is to have all the tolledcrossings.
Finally, if a vehicle levy is anoption, the mayors council willhave time to look at how it isstructured, Fassbender said.
The vehicle levy idea wasscrapped for consideration ear-lier this fall because of the loom-ing deadline.
It must have seemed like a nightmare cometrue for a prohibited driver nabbed twice in oneweek by an alert RCMP officer in Aldergrove.
On Nov. 21, the Langley Mountie pulled overa vehicle in the 5900 block of 268th Street, saidCpl. Holly Marks.
The car looked similar to one that was associ-ated with a suspected criminal. It turned out tobe unrelated, but the officer did discover that thedriver was not supposed to be driving.
The officer served the driver with a notice ofdriving prohibition, Marks said.
The driver left the parked vehicle behind.Three days later and a few blocks away, in the
26500 block of 56th Avenue, the same officerspotted the same driver in the same car.
The Mountie turned on his sirens and lights,and the suspect apparently panicked.
The driver tried to speed away, and promptlydrove off the road. He then tried to make a runfor it, but a police dog tracked him down andfound him hiding nearby.
A 43-year-old local man faces criminal charges.

A pair of burglaries last week inWalnut Grove is under investigation bythe local police.
On Nov. 23, someone kicked in thedoor to a basement suite between 3 and6 p.m., said Cpl. Holly Marks, spokes-person for the Langley RCMP.
A TV, video game console, computer,and CDs were taken, Marks said. Thesuite had been ransacked, with itemsstrewn everywhere.
The next day, between 5 and 6:30p.m., another home was broken into, thistime through a rear window. Computers,a camera, and jewelry were taken. Onceagain, belongings were strewn about inseveral rooms of the house by the thief.
Marks said police are urging residentsto look at their home security.
It’s not necessarily a matter of havingan alarm, but of basic things such asusing a solid core door made of wood ormetal. Glass in doors should be unbreak-able.
Screws holding hinges and strikerplates should be 3” deep, and name-brand dead bolts should be used.
“Anti-lift” devices like dowels or barson sliding doors and windows can behelpful at preventing easy break ins.
Never open your door to strangers, andinstall an oversized door viewer, Markssaid. Don’t leave your automatic garagedoor opener in your car, and lock thedoor from your garage into your home.
Finally, police suggest getting to knowyour neighbours. Join BlockWatch or aCrime Free Multi-Housing group.
Anyone who can help solve the twoWalnut Grove burglaries can call theLangley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Our View
Chiefs deservefans’ support
There are countless local hockey fans,as well as those who are simply enthusi-astic about community sports, who havebeen missing out on a fun night at theLangley Events Centre.
The Langley Chiefs need bums – we’retalking the posterior variety, here – to fillseats at their hockey games.
Langley’s British Columbia HockeyLeague team has averaged 1,549 fans ateach of their 14 home games so far thisseason. On the surface, the number seemimpressive, and places the Chiefs at thetop of the BCHL home attendance heapamong Coastal Conference teams.
However, the LEC’s arena seats a cap-acity of up to 4,500. Recently, the players– who range from 16 to 20 years of age– and their coaches have been looking upat a swath of blue seats during play stop-pages and intermissions.
Chiefs hockey is cheap entertainmentthat’s geared for the entire family. Singlegame ticket prices are $13 for adults andseniors, and a paltry $9 for children andstudents. And, unlike games and eventsheld in downtown Vancouver, there’splenty of free parking available.
On Saturday, a recorded attendance of1,350 – more than 4,000 under capacity– watched the Chiefs fall 5-3 to the visitingVictoria Grizzlies.
The crowd was even smaller Friday, asthe Chiefs trounced the Surrey Eagles 5-1in front of just 1,035 fans.
When you consider the populationof the two Langleys combined is about130,000, and that local rinks are teemingwith minor- and recreational-league hock-ey players each and every weekend, it’sobvious this community can do a betterjob of supporting its junior A team.
When they’re not out on the ice giving100 per cent, the Chiefs’ players are in thecommunity, meeting fans, and influencingyoung lives in a positive manner.
Whenever TransLink starts holding out itshand for more money, it gets me thinkingabout how woefully inadequate our modes oftransportation are.
I’m not just referring to the woefully inad-equate transit system that TransLink has pro-vided – indeed, calling TransLink’s bus servicein this neck of the woods woefully inadequatewould be a woefully inadequate use of thephrase “woefully inadequate.”
And there simply are no descrip-tors that delve deep enough intowoeful inadequacy to describe the“service” to Aldergrove.
But transportation in generalsimply no longer meets the needsof human masses that are forevermoving.
I look out my office windowevery day and see roads cloggedwith poison-spewing vehicles, mostly standingstill, waiting for an opportunity to roll forwarda few feet before standing still again.
And that’s normal.We think nothing of it.Most of us drive around in cars that are far
too large for the jobs we ask of them.Even many of those of us who are conscious
of the extra pollution created by draggingourselves around while encased in glass andsteel cubicles are stuck with the unnecessaryenvironmental damage we cause.
The reality is that, in today’s world, youhave to get from point A to point B.
And you have to do it with an eye on theclock.
And you have to do it in a vehicle thatmay have to take your whole family – plus acouple of dogs, maybe a few 2x4s, a sheet ofplywood, and the branches that came down inthe latest windstorm – from point A to point B.
So when it’s just you in travel mode, most ofthe work that your transportation machineryis doing is transporting your transportationmachinery, instead of transporting you.
Even loaded to the hilt, most cars or pick-up trucks weigh significantly more than theirloads.
And every metre we move every kilogramcreates a proportionate amount of pollution.
I wish that, when Captain Kirk and hiscrew came back from the future to save thehumpback whales from extinction (in order tosave the human race from extinction), ChiefEngineer Scotty had left behind plans for thatmagnificent transporter device – instead oftransparent aluminum.
Just imagine having Star Trek’s “transporterdevice” at our disposal.
I’d gladly pay some extra prop-erty taxes to have transportersstrategically located within walk-ing distance, all over the LowerMainland (including South of theFraser).
Need to pop home becauseyou forgot your wallet?
Just beam yourself in and out,and be back at your work sta-
tion in moments. Forgot to feed your tribble?Hey! Just beam a handful of Antares wheat
germ directly into the cuddly little creature’sfood dish.
Hey, Scotty! Beam yourself back to Earth,our time. We’d like to make a trade.
We want an efficient means of transportingourselves – just ourselves, and not the tons ofequipment it currently takes to transport us– to where we want to go.
It’s not the whales that will kill us in theend.
It’s our woefully inadequate means of trans-portation that is bound to do us in.
Who needs transparent aluminum, anyway?We could make better and stronger plastics
from the oil we wouldn’t have to burn, if wecould just turn ourselves into energy and getbeamed to wherever we want to go.

in a lighthearted look at Parliament inMaclean’s magazine, Nov. 22.
It appears that his sometimes bossJohn Baird featured Mark in his play ofthe week during the Conservative caucusmeeting. By Baird’s count, Mark said“Mr. Speaker” 10 times in the first tapehe played, and repeated “Mr. Speaker” 10times in the second.
Given that Mark has just 35 secondseach time he stands up in questionperiod, he must be hard pressed to geta word in edgeways about the environ-ment, since he is the parliamentary secre-tary to whomever handles that portfolio.
With the Cancun Environment 2010conference in session this week and next,we might have expected that Mark wouldseize the opportunity to lay out his boss’s
plans during a CBC-TV panel’s climatedebate last week.
Alas, the Conservatives chose to sendBaird’s other right hand man, TomLewinsky of Saskatchewan, who said thelack of action on the environment is thefault of the Liberals.
That is when I turned to the recentmailer from Mark that trumpets thegovernment’s economic gains. Frontand back, only the economy. No wordon the environment or Cancun lead-ing to Durban or the delicate balance ofCanada’s economy and the planet’s ecol-ogy.
When Langley is represented by an MPthat even his boss laughs at, those of uswho have a consuming interest in thestate of the environment can only weepat opportunities lost.

decorated tree out frontof the Community Hall. Ihave always thought thatit should be a traditionand a community-build-ing event here in the realworld as well.
So when I read thatSanta would be arrivingby canoe, and then carol-lers would be leading thepublic to the communityhall for the tree-lighting,
I was so excited that Iemailed everyone I knowin the area and told themto come out.
Well, my kids werethrilled with Santa’s arriv-al, and we then followedSanta to – the Railwaystation.
No carols, not at thecommunity hall.
We were told that every-one needed to come uptop, on the road, andnot be down in the fieldbeside the railway station.
We then were asked todo a countdown from 10for the lighting of the tree– four thin stripes of LEDlights that you could bare-ly see, and only on oneside of the tree (thus thereason for having every-one come up top).
What a huge letdown.People started laughingand leaving.
What happened to theold saying: if you aregoing to do it, do it right?
Really, there was nopoint in having a tree-lighting at all. I will notattend again next year,should they decide to doit again.

Santa great, tree lights a bust
Fort Langley
Tree lightly darkly confusingDear Editor,
Were you in Fort Langley to watch Santa Claus beingbrought to shore by the canoe club?
Did you go to the community hall to see the bigChristmas tree being lit?
My visitor came from Abbotsford to take in the fes-tive event. We walked to the hall: no tree, no lights, noChristmas effects there!
Back to the train station, where a huge tree was barelyvisible with three strings of lights! There were manyfamilies with small children, everybody looking forsome event.
We never made it down to the river. I do not knowwhether anything transpired when Santa came in. Wejust met all kinds of people shaking their heads, askingquestions. There seems to have been some major confu-sion with the crowds on the sidewalk between the halland the train station.

Dear Editor,We have a number of friends here in
Langley who would love to adopt, buthave had to wait for a child, sometimesfor years.
Many men and women who feel unableto care for their child are frightened bythe prospect of adoption. They see it as“giving up” their child to complete stran-gers. They don’t realize how much sup-port there is out there for birth parents,for the babies and children, and for theadoptive parents.
We want to encourage everyone to seeadoption as the loving option.
To that end, the Langley Pro-LifeSociety is sponsoring a number of busbenches that are aimed at drawing atten-tion to the group’s new website,www.adoptionincanada.ca.
Let’s change the face of adoption.Jaclyn Penninga, Langley Pro-Life Society

A terrifying encounter on busy16th Avenue alarmed a localuniversity student.by John ColebournPostmedia Network Inc.
University student Greg Flemingknows how close he came to beinga roadside statistic after a four-kilo-gram piece of metal crashed throughhis car windshield in South Langley.
Fleming, 21, of Surrey was drivingeast along 16th Avenue, near 224thStreet, heading to his girlfriend’shouse Tuesday evening when thepiece of metal smashed through hiswindshield with such force that itwent out the back window and intothe ditch.
Fleming, a first-year student atthe University of the Fraser Valley,shudders when he thinks of hisbrush with death.
“It was a huge noise – like anexplosion – when it went throughmy windshield,” Fleming said.
“The metal went through mywindshield, hit my dash, blew outmy DVD navigation system and outthrough the back seat and throughthe back windshield,” he said.
“I was covered in glass. It wasunbelievable. I was freaked rightout.”
Fleming was wearing glasses andfeels he is fortunate his eyes werenot damaged. He had a few minorcuts on his face from the glass butwas not hospitalized.
“The police officer couldn’t believewhat happened,” he said. “He saidthere was a lot of force through thewindshield and if I had been hit inthe head, I would have died or beendecapitated.
“I’m lucky to be alive.”Fleming believes he was travelling
about 60 km/h. It is estimated themetal came within about 12 centi-
metres of striking his head.“I’m still having nightmares over
that,” he said.He believes the metal came from
an approaching dump truck.Kelly took it to a truckers’ gar-
age and was told it was a brokenpiece from a U-joint, a drivetrainpart used when additional tractionis needed. He figures the part felloff the truck as it moved along 16thAvenue.
Langley RCMP Sgt. Ravi Pawarsaid he has never heard of any acci-dent quite like this one.
“He is very lucky,” said Pawar.“That piece of metal was sharpenough to decapitate a person.”
He said there have been no wit-nesses to the accident.
If found, the truck drivercould face a violation under theCommercial Vehicle Inspection Actfor having an unsecured part fall offthe truck.

LangleyAdvance | Tue sday, Novembe r 30 , 2010 | A13CommunityHoliday lights will help the causeof the Cops for Cancer, thanks toa Brookswood woman.by Matthew [email protected]
Brookswood’s Pam Cannon isturning her love of the holidays intoa fundraiser to aid children withcancer.
“I am a Christmas-aholic at heart,”Cannon said.
For the past several years, Cannonhas put up ever-increasing quantitiesof lights at her home, along withother decorations and even music.
She long ago lost track of exactlyhow many bulbs or strings of lightsgo up around her yard.
“I’ve got so many at this point, Iwouldn’t eve know what I have any-more,” she said.
During last year’s festivities, shedecided to put the display to gooduse.
A volunteer with Client SupportServices (formerly Victims Services)through the Langley RCMP, Cannonhad come toknow several localMounties.
They includedConst. Craig VanHerk, one of theorganizers of theannual Cops forCancer Tour deValley. The bikeride and fund-raiser sees officersfrom around theSouth of the Fraserregion ride morethan 800 kilometres in the early fall.
Cannon has partnered with thecharity, and the money donated ather display will go towards the -
ongoing fundraising efforts.“I lost a cousin last year to can-
cer,” Cannon said. She also has afriend currently in treatment, so the
cause is close toher heart.
She hopesthat raisingthe money willmake her lightdisplay thatmuch moremeaningful.
“If I can dothat, it’ll makemy Christmasall that muchbetter,” Cannonsaid.
Cops for Cancer raises money forthe Canadian Cancer Society. Muchof the money raised goes towardssupporting Camp Goodtimes, a sum-
mer camp in Maple Ridge for chil-dren who have cancer. It is the onlycamp in B.C. with a team of doctorsand nurses on hand to deal with themedical issues of children either intreatment or remission.
The light show will be turned onDec. 1, but the big kickoff for thefundraiser will be Dec. 4. Between6 and 8 p.m., a number of officerswho took part in this year’s ride willbe at the property, wearing theirspandex cycling gear, to greet vis-itors.
Cannon said the officers were theones who volunteered to wear theircycling clothes, despite the coldDecember weather.
The lit-up home is at 20102 42ndAve. Lights will be on until Jan. 1,and donations will be accepted forthe Cops for Cancer until the lightsgo dark.

The Langley juniors hadmixed results on home iceover the weekend.by Troy [email protected]
What a strange trip it’s beenfor the Langley Chiefs, as theirBritish Columbia Hockey Leagueseason passes its midway point.
Expect the unexpected fromthe Chiefs, as they enter the sec-ond half of their campaign.
For example: they won onhome ice by a 10-2 score Nov.17 versus Coquitlam. On Nov.23, less than a week later, theysuffered a 7-3 road loss at thehands of the Westside Warriors.
The Chiefs’ fortunes at theLangley Events Centre over theweekend were a pretty accuratesnapshot of their season thusfar.
On Friday, the Chiefs wonhandily over the Surrey Eagles,beating their LowerMainland rivals bya 5-1 score.
The next night,they dug them-selves a sizeablehole against theVictoria Grizzliesbefore falling 5-3.
Victoria Grizzies 5, Chiefs 3Grizzlies goaltender Matt Ginn
frustrated Chiefs shooters, whofired 48 shots his way.
Ginn stopped 45 pucks,including 22 in the second per-iod alone, to backstop his team
to victory.“We played really solidly,”
Chiefs winger Brad McBridesaid. “Their goalie stole it forthem. We had our opportunitiesbut their goalie was unreal.”
“But we played hard,”McBride added. “We madethem [the Grizzlies] earn thatone.”
The Grizzlies jumped out toa 3-0, first period lead beforeTrace Strahle got the Chiefs onthe board with 49 seconds toplay in the opening frame.
The Grizzlies padded theirlead to 4-1 with a goal 14seconds into the middleperiod.
McBride cut the deficit totwo goals with a powerplaytally at the 8:31 mark of thesecond frame.
Close to halfway throughthe third period, Victoria’sDavid Morley found the net tomake it 5-2 for the visitors.
Langley captain Trevor Gerlingscored at the 14:50 mark of
the final frame toonce again bringthe home team towithin two goals,but that was asclose as the Chiefswould get.
The Chiefs gota scare in the
waning seconds, when wingerJosh Hansen was hip checkedwhile cutting to the net with thepuck. He crashed awkwardlyinto the boards. He looked badlyinjured but managed to skate offthe ice under his own power.
Chiefs 5, Surrey Eagles 1The visiting Eagles took a 1-0
lead into the first intermission,but after that, it was all Chiefs.
The hosts scored three timesin the second period and tackedon two more markers in thefinal frame to win by four goals.
Gerling scored twice, includingthe winner in the second period,to lead his team to victory.
Kit Sitterley, Tim Daly, andStrahle had the other goals forthe Chiefs, who went 2-5 onthe powerplay. Daly, the Chiefs’top-scoring defenceman, addedan assist for a two-point night.
The Chiefs scored twice dur-ing a five-minute man advan-
tage late in the second period,after Surrey’s Mitch Jones wasslapped with a five minute fight-ing major to go along with atwo-minute minor for instigat-ing. Jones went to the aid of hisgoaltender Karel St.-Laurent,who was run into by McBride
The aftermath of Jones’saltercation with McBride – whowas assessed a minor penaltyfor goaltender interference anda game misconduct on the play– was powerplay goals fromGerling and Daly.
Chiefs goalie Cole Hugginsshut out the Eagles over thefinal 40 minutes of play to earnthird star of the game honours.
The Chiefs, 18-10-1-4, remainin second place in the BCHL’sCoastal Conference. They arefour points up on the Grizzlies,who have four games at hand.
The divide between the Chiefsand the first-place Powell RiverKings is pretty wide – the Kingshold an eight-point cushion.
The Chiefs are back in actionThursday, when they visitWeyerhaeuser Arena to play theAlberni Valley Bulldogs.
The next day (Friday) theyare at Powell River’s Hap ParkerArena to face the Kings.
They return to the LEC Sundayfor a matinée (3 p.m.) game ver-sus the Nanaimo Clippers.
