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.

Bruce Waughworked on asnow sculpturehe created withDavid Dureault.The sculpturewas on displayat McBurneyLane on 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.

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, and death.

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 and thetent city protesting thattook place this summer.

As I investigated the story,I realized I was sympatheticto the cries for help fromthe homeless.Christmas is rapidly

approaching. We will all bewondering what special giftsto buy 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 ChristmasKettle, sponsor a family inneed, and donate clothesand food to the local foodbank. Open your heartsand your wallets, and getinvolved.Small acts of kindness can

make a big difference.Kristin Dwviniczuk, Langley

Homeless can always use kindness

Honest person specialDear Editor,This is just a note to thank whoever found my change

purse at NoFrills grocery store and returned it to one of thecashiers for safekeeping.I checked again on Monday to see if it had been found,

and lo and behold, they had it. All money was intact.Its wonderful to know that there are still some honest

people around. So thank you, to a very special person.Lorna Niedjalski, Langley

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.
