Help wantedfor kettlesVolunteers can help the Gatewayof Hope shelter collect enoughmoney to expand its programs.by Matthew [email protected]

The Salvation Army is in the busi-ness of helping others in Langley.But right now, it needs help itself.The annual Kettle Campaign

needs more volunteers to hit itsgoal of raising $400,000 this yearfor the Gateway of Hope shelter.They need about 500 volunteers

who can give a total of about 5,000hours of service ringing bells andstanding with the kettles in front oflocal stores.If more volunteers cant be found,

the fundraising drive will likely fallshort of its goal, said Troy Gaglardi,who is overseeing the campaign.A lack of people is the only

problem. Gaglardi said Langleyitesare showing their usual generositywhen it comes to putting money inthe pots.Gateway of Hope provides

an ongoing shelter program forLangleys homeless, as well asmeals and a variety of services forthose living on the street, or justthose in need of some help.While many of its programs are

funded through the provincialgovernment, it can offer more if itmakes enough money during thiscampaign, one of the biggest fund-raising drives of the year.Its wonderful to be able to offer

the soup and a bed, Gaglardi said.Its a start, but its not a solution.The Gateway of Hope also offers

job training and counselling. It has25 rooms for long-term residency,for people who have begun to turntheir lives around but need a stablefoothold.It also runs the emergency cold

and wet weather shelters forLangley, a program that has beenactivated several times already thiswinter.The Langley RCMP offer rides to

the homeless from around the com-munity, and have brought in sev-eral people who couldnt face thecold weather.Gaglardi said there are still some

homeless people who prefer to stayoutside in the cold, and wont cometo the shelter. But he hopes thata human connection can be madeeventually.While help with the kettle cam-

paign is the top priority right now,Gaglardi said the Gateway of Hopecould also use some aid in thekitchen on Sundays. Many of thevolunteers who help prepare mealsare at church on that day.

Families with new babies can feeloverwhelmed during the holidays, but oneAldergrove grandmother is helping out.by Heather [email protected]

You never know whats going to trigger amemory.For Aldergroves Lola Miller, a laundry basket

elicits happy Christmas memories of when herthree children were young, even though it wastough times for the single mother.She said neighbours arranged

for Christmas support through theKiwanis Club for about three holidayswhen the family was struggling. Thensomeone, and she doesnt know whoto this day even 17 years later, wentthe extra mile and did something thathas changed Millers Christmas tothis day.One year we came home and

found a laundry hamper full of gifts,she explained.That included some special gifts for the mom,

such as teas and bubble bath, a message to lookafter herself while looking after her kids.The family found their footing and life became

less of a financial struggle.For many years after that when I got back on

my feet, I donated to the Salvation Army, sheexplained.And she heard about a program to help fam-

ilies with babies which got her thinking aboutways to contribute. It started with sewingitems and making up a basket for the LangleyChristmas Bureau.The mother of three and now grandmother of

three continued making baby baskets, knowinghow a few little extras could help a family withnew babies during the holidays. Its a hectic time

when new parents can feel overwhelmed.Miller, who loves sewing and fabrics, filled the

laundry baskets with flannel pjs, baby clothes,diapers, towels, toys, Christmas napkins, placemats or table cloths (so they may inspire fam-ilies to make their own holiday traditions), andeven homemade spittle rags along with explana-tory notes for young moms about some of theproducts. She preshrinks all the fabric she usesand washes any purchased items like towels soeverything is ready for use.She also makes sure to include some treats for

the moms, such as cozy socks, hot chocolate,and bubble bath.

If we dont look after ourselvesas mothers, as women, then wedont do as well for our babies,Miller commented.Kim Rampfl, a friend of Millers,

asked if she could be part ofMillers annual holiday cheer andthey did up three baskets lastyear. Then Rampfl took the ideato coworkers in Langley MemorialHospitals medical imaging depart-ment, where they like to do a

holiday project to help others.So this year the Langley Christmas Bureau has

four baskets for families with new babies cour-tesy of Miller and her growing stable of elves.The bureau sees that the baskets get to the

appropriate families and shared a thank-you let-ter with Miller received after one holiday season.The basket brought a grateful mom to tears tothink that someone would put so much thoughtinto helping out strangers.I do it because I have fun with it, Miller said.And the holidays are barely over before Miller,

who drives a pilot truck, is scrounging up bar-gains for next years laundry hamper, which sheknows from experience can have a huge impacteven years later.I still use the laundry basket I received, she

quipped.

Mary PolakMLA for Langley

Mary shows off her Christmas spirit and pretty festive coat, at theMagic of Christmas parade in Langley.

MLA Polak joins Township of Langley Councillor Steve Ferguson, LangleyLegion Branch 21 President Bill Kerton and City of LangleyMayor PeterFassbender to pay respects at the Remembrance Day Ceremony in Langley.

At the beginning of this month I was privileged to take partin the CKNWOrphans Fund Pledge Day.

I was joined on air by Wally Buono and Dennis Skulsky ofthe BC Lions. Throughout the day sports figures, politiciansand community leaders took to the airwaves encouragingdonations to support children in need across BC.

It was heartening to witness the spirit of giving that is somuch a part of our communities. But there was a sad noteas well. A new report shows a drop in the number ofCanadians who donated to charities last year. Sadly, this hasbeen a trend over the last few years.

This year, please take the opportunity to make Christmasbrighter for needy families. Make a donation or volunteersome time. I know your own Christmas will be brighter as aresult.

Merry Christmas to all!

A dentist has offered free services tohelp a Langley woman with severemedical problems.by Matthew [email protected]

A Langley woman in desperate need ofmajor dental care may have found a solu-tion to her problem.Tracey Woods has been offered free servi-

ces by a Surrey dentist, Dr. Panos Andreouwith the Omega Dental Group.However, Woods and her family are now

trying to determine if Andreou has accessto the facilities needed to perform the deli-cate work.Our big concern is whether we can get

OR time with this guy, said Woods hus-band, Scott.He and Tracey planned to talk to Andreou

more this week, and the dentist told theLangley Advance he would need to consultwith Tracey and her doctors.

Woods suffers from gastro-paresis, a partial paralysis ofher stomach and intestines.Not only does it make

digesting food extremely dif-ficult Woods is essentiallyalways somewhat malnour-ished but frequent vomitingis damaging her teeth.She needs crowns and

other reconstructive work onher teeth.Because the B.C. govern-

ment wont pay for the work,as they consider it dentistry,she was facing a $30,000 bill.Friends and co-workers from Edible

Arrangements had already launched abottle drive to help raise cash for the pro-cedures.But Andreou said hell do the work for

free. He even contacted a Vancouver lab,Microdental, that will do lab work for noth-ing.Andreou said he heard about Woods

story and offered his services immediately.

If someones close by andneeds help, Id be happy to helpout, he said.With some uncertainty about

whether the free dentistry offerwill work out, friends are stillplanning to go ahead with thebottle drive.It will take place this

coming Saturday at EdibleArrangements.Woods needs the dental work

as soon as possible, to preventthe loss of her teeth. If she losesher teeth, she will have to go

into care and be fed with a tube for the restof her life. The mother of a teenager and afour-year-old boy wants to put off that dayas long as possible.The bottle drive takes place at 110-8700

200 St., from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.In addition to the Saturday drive, anyone

taking bottles to the Walnut Grove BottleDepot or the Langley Bottle Depot canask for the money to be donated to TraceyWoods, up to Dec. 19.

Old-fashioned Christmasactivities have a way ofappealing to modern kids.by Heather [email protected]

The timer goes ding on thetoaster oven and its time foranother batch of small ginger-bread men cookies to come out.The toaster oven door opens

and the room at the LangleyCentennial Museum fills withspicy aromas as studentswatched their small cookies putonto cooling racks.If the way to a mans heart is

through his stomach, the way toa students mind is through allthe senses.

So the museum includeshands-on activities that showstudents what Christmas waslike for children in a bygone era.By the time the season is over,

many area children will havetaken the Pioneer Christmasprogram.We have 900 students attend-

ing the Pioneer ChristmasProgram which only runs forfive weeks, explained JeffChenatte, the museum arts andheritage educator.Pioneer Christmas is geared

for students in kindergarten andGrade 1, and features lots ofopportunity to gettheir hands going.The program

is run in stations,where children areplaying with herit-age toys, makingand baking ginger-bread men, as wellas making heritageChristmas decora-tions, he said.The little ones

may not grasp thehistory links ofdoing the sameChristmas activitiesas children morethan a century ago, but they getthat they are making neat stuffmany would not otherwise get

to do.Chenatte

explained thatthe program ismade possiblebecause of the

Langley Historical Society (LHS)which funds inner city schoolparticipation. Some 43 per cent

of the student visits, includingtransportation costs betweentheir schools and the museum,are funded.This program has proved to

be very successful, with manyclasses taking advantage of thegenerous support of the LHS,Chenatte noted.

An RCMP officer fromLangley has won aprestigious honour forhis volunteer work.

by Matthew [email protected]

Cpl. Norm Massiestarted out just wanting toplay basketball and floorhockey with kids, whenhe began working as aschool liaison officer.Two decades later,

he has won the RCMPFoundations Golden Spuraward, in honour of hiscreation of an annualbasketball tournament.Massie, a Langley resi-

dent who works with thefederal Border Integrityservice, was one of thefirst liaison officers inSurrey.He started playing ball

hockey and basketballwith students duringlunch hours, and broughtin other RCMP officers aswell. It was a good way tointroduce police and teen-agers to one another, in acontext that didnt involvetraffic tickets or handcuffs.That was an opportun-

ity we seized to kind ofput the police in a newlight, Massie said.The games proved so

popular that Massie wasinspired to start an annualbasketball tournament.He worked with schoolcounsellor Rick Inrig,whos nickname is Mr.Basketball.

Now the annual SurreyRCMP High SchoolBasketball Classic involves24 high schools, with 24senior teams, 16 juniorteams, and takes six daysto complete. More than600 players will take partin 70 games in January inthe next incarnation of thetourney.Theres also the popular

coaches versus RCMP offi-cers game, held every yearbefore the championshipmatch.You can imagine how

competitive it is, andits usually a very closegame, Massie said.The RCMP have even

been known to cuff a fewplayers on the other teamto give them a small edge.While the games them-

selves are fun, Massie ismost proud of the memor-ial scholarships handedout every year at thetournaments close.One is the Const.

Roger Pierlet MemorialScholarship, named afterthe first RCMP officerkilled in Surrey in the lineof duty. Pierlet was shotpurely because he was anofficer, by a man with agrudge against the police.More memorial schol-

arships are handedout in the names of EdSchellenberg and ChrisMohan, the two innocentmen killed in the SurreySix slayings.Massie was surprised

and pleased that his 20years of dedication wonhim the Golden SpurAward from the RCMP

Foundation.Massie, his wife, and

Inrik got to head toToronto for the awardsceremony.Now back in Langley,

Massie is hard at workon this coming Januarystourney.Every year, he and Inrik

try to make it a little bitbigger and better, he said.

Two open houses this week willprovide more information onoverpass and road projects onthe Langley/Surrey border.

by Heather [email protected]

The plans to reconfigure roadwayson the Langley/Surrey border willbe discussed at two open housesthis week.Surrey along with Langley Citys

Engineering Department will presentthe concept designs and get publicfeedback on the plans for the three

overpasses.Plans call for a four-lane, divided

overpasses at 192nd Street ($34 mil-lion) and at 196th Street ($60 mil-lion) as well as a two-lane overpassat 54th/56th Avenues at about 196thStreet ($25 million).The work is part of the $360 mil-

lion Roberts Bank Rail Corridortransportation program whichinvolves nine-large scale road pro-jects from Langley through to theocean.The project, which includes $75

million in federal funding, aims toimprove Lower Mainland transpor-tation by reducing the interactionbetween vehicles and trains.The Mufford overpass, which

did not receive Agricultural LandCommission approval recently andis in limbo because of that, is part ofthe rail corridor project.Both open houses run 5-8 p.m.The Dec. 15 open house is at the

Sunrise Banquet Centre, 5460 188thSt., while the one Dec. 16 is atNicomekl Elementary, 20050 53rdAve.A basic map of the projects is

available on the project website(www.robertsbankrailcorridor.ca)but more detailed plans will beavailable at the meetings.Anyone wanting more information

Our View

Wrong recordsbeing broken

There are a few things sadder than achild with an empty stocking on Christmasmorning but not many.

This is shaping up to be an emptyChristmas for a lot of children in theLangleys.

And that means Christmas will also bea cold place to be for their mothers and/orfathers.

The continuing recession has taken itstoll, as Canada appears to be catching upto the rest of world in failing businessesand rising jobless rates.

While some politicians at the federaland provincial levels boast about thecountrys economic resilience and cheerabout job-creation statistics during thoseweeks when the numbers rise a bit, thereality is that many of the jobs createdleave those lucky enough to get them stillin poorer shape than when the world eco-nomic collapse began at the end of 2008.

Even among many of those who havejobs, money is short.

And those hardships come hometo roost when Christmas rolls around.They show up in the help needed by theSalvation Army, in the growing numbersof families needing help from the LangleyChristmas Bureau and the Langley FoodBank, and in the decline in donationsavailable to the volunteers who struggle tomeet the needs of the community.

The Christmas Bureau volunteers areexpecting to break records this year butthe records they expect to break are theones theyd really like to avoid.

As of Monday, they already had a listof 700 families pleading for help to makeit through Christmas this year, and thatnumber has been increasing daily.

The bureau wraps up its operations onFriday. It would be a nice Christmas pres-ent from the community to its volunteersif they could also have a record-breakingyear for donations.

LangleyAdvance | Tue sday , De cembe r 14 , 2010 | A8

By the time you read this, I expect that theBateman Proposition will have been eitheraccepted or rejected or tabled for furtherstudy by an endless array of bureaucratswhose chief purpose it is to decide how deci-sions might be avoided.I expect Township Councillor Jordan

Bateman will come into a little flak over hismotion to rid the Township-paid (read: taxpay-er-funded) Township Page adver-tising of unnecessary politiciansmugshots that is, unnecessarymugshots; unfortunately, polit-icians are necessary or so mostof us, excepting anarchists, havebeen led to believe.Its important to note that the

Bateman-sponsored mug-removalformula would be effective only inelection years like 2011, for instance.There will certainly be those who will sug-

gest that Batemans motives are self-serv-ing, particularly since the mugshot that mostoften appears on the Townships advertisingpages in the local press belongs to Mayor RickGreen.Its a poorly guarded secret that Bateman has

his eye on the mayors chair whether or nothe decides to make his play in 2011.And its no secret at all that he hasnt got a

lot of love for His Worship Mayor Green, inany case. Indeed, hes not alone at that endof the council table (which now encompassesboth ends and the middle of the table!).But I think his motion is a great idea, one

thats long overdue.Any community newspaper editor with

half a brain knows that the mayor and sit-ting councillors already have a big advantageover challengers gleaned from the inescap-able fact that their very existence at any eventthroughout their term of office is newsworthy,

at least to some degree, in a community con-text. If you think Im overstating it, you shouldhear the delight in the voices of event organ-izers (of all sorts of events, from charity tobusiness-opening) when they have a promisethat some low-level political mucky-muck willcut their blessed ribbon. And if its the mayortheyve coerced into attending, theyre abso-lutely certain theyll get the front page!My esteem for politicians local or other-

wise doesnt quite reach that mark, butI cant buck the reality of that. Despite theapparent negative opinion of politicians amongcitizens-at-large, the reality is that most peoplestill think that elected officials are special and as long as they do, I have to take thatinto account when deciding what is and what

isnt news (but seldom the frontpage puh-leaaze!).I live in the Township, and so

I pay for the Township Page. Ifeel personally offended everytime I see my tax dollars alsobuying politicians face time. Idont care whether or not theycome close to espousing viewsand policies that I can embrace.

If they want to throw their mugs out to thepublic, they shouldnt be doing it with my (oryour) tax dollars. Its a form of campaigning,and they or their supporters should pay for it.So I dont care whether or not the intent

behind Batemans motion was ultimately self-serving. Ive been hoping for its success.Because, whatever his real reasons, his goal

is ultimately a good one.We really dont need the mayors face tell-

ing us about a modest shift in the garbagepick-up schedule just times, dates, places,etc. Putting the mayors (or any councillors)face on the Township Page is blatant polit-ical advertising and the space it takes upincreases the cost to Township taxpayers.Most of you probably know it, but for thosewho dont: we sell display advertising like theTownship Page according to the area it coverson the page so it costs money to multiply themayors face through 52 weeks each year.

Dear Editor,The HST debate carries on, and next year

we in B.C. will vote yes or no to decideif we will keep it or cancel it.To do what is right, we must know, in

more detail, what our vote will mean.In general, the no side has just said no,

and has not supported its argument withenough facts for any reasonable person tomake an informed decision.The yes side, including government,

has put out a considerable amount of sup-porting information, but has not made itavailable to the majority of citizens.We have to do better than that, or the

wrong decision may be made.

We need an independent group of threeto five qualified people to assemble all ofthe pros and cons of the HST, and thatinformation made available to voters.Going to a restaurant and paying HST on

a meal is not enough information to voteno, and getting a low-income cheque inthe mail is not enough to vote yes.The way the HST was introduced was

a big mistake, and voting it out may beanother big mistake.I ask the authorities to do it right and

make sure voters understand both sides ofthe issue, so our decision will be what isbest for our province and its people.

Eric J. Bysouth, Langley

Complete information needed

Dear Editor,Why is Langley City put-

ting $8.5 million into the196th Street project, threeoverpasses, and roads thatwill mainly benefit theSurrey industrial area?The same question could

be proposed to LangleyTownship and the money itare putting into the project.

Where is Langley Citygetting the money? Whyare they trying to pass thisthrough council in a hurry,during December, whenpeople are busy with theholiday season?Do the residents of

Langley know how muchthis project is going to costthem in future tax dollars?

Why was this just recentlyopened up to the public,even though its been yearsin the planning?Yes, we need rail over-

passes but not these.This project will not helpLangley traffic issues. LetSurrey build them, if itthinks it needs them, out ofSurrey tax dollars and onSurrey roads.I can think of a lot more

constructive ways to use$8.5 million dollars for thepeople of Langley.Stop by for 10 minutes

at the open house on Dec16, 5-8 p.m., at NicomeklElementary School, andleave your opinion there forCouncil to know that youdont want them to spendyour tax dollars for thisproject.

Traffic calming

Calmingmotion overriddenDear Editor,Township staff overrode a motion, passed by council on

Oct. 4, approving Traffic Calming for 201st Street from 74thto 68th Avenues to be completed by September 2011.We purchased our house in Willoughby so we can walk

to school with our children. Come and witness the prob-lems on 201st Street on school days, during school hours.

Dear Editor,In the years since 9/11,

our freedom to move aboutthe globe has been severelylimited. Security is so tighteverywhere that now evenour private parts are not pri-vate at airport security.This is the new freedom.

It is a high price to pay.Our access to the internet

will be severely limited asthe result of WikiLeaks.Google and Microsoft havebeen cooperating withChina in the past few years,to limit Chinese citizensaccess to information.

Since the recent spate ofWikiLeaks, weve heard ofcountries forcing servers tolimit access to information.There will be more pres-

sure on servers and searchengines.Government transpar-

ency is also under attack.Freedom of informationusually allows access toinformation at the end ofa predetermined period oftime. That will change, too.I suspect that when thedoors are open, informa-tion will not be there at all.Governments will learn to

leave no information at all.Matthew Claxtons col-

umn [Anonymous takes onthe world, Dec. 10 PainfulTruth, Langley Advance]reveals another startlingbehaviour: malicious attacksby anonymous hackers onVISA and Mastercard.These attacks are enabled

by an entitlement mental-ity just like that of JulianAssange of WikiLeaks.Certainly, freedom as we

know it in 2010 will con-tinue to change, as it hassince 2001.More startling is a symp-

tom of a failing civilization,like a snake eating itself,destruction from within,not from Barbarians at thegates. George Orwell reallydid predict the future in hisbook Nineteen Eighty-Four.He just got it wrong by 20years.

Township council

Outburst potentially costlyDear Editor,I attend most Township council meetings.At the Dec. 6 evening meeting, the audience witnessed

a very animated outburst by Councillor Charlie Fox [Taskforce costs divide mayor from council, Dec. 10, LangleyAdvance]. Indeed, it was something to behold.Perhaps Coun. Fox might consider something to calm

him down before attending council meetings. Otherwise hemight blow a gasket or something.That, of course, would be his problem, but by-elections

are just too darned expensive.T. Braaten, Aldergrove

LangleyAdvance | Tue sday, De cembe r 14 , 2010 | A11CommunityA visit with her family to amemorial site in Kentuckyhelped a Langley mom relivesome memorable momentsfrom 1985 and beyond.by Troy [email protected]

A small forest in Kentucky sitseternally silent, but each of itstrees has a story to tell, thanksthe thoughtfulness of a Langleymom.On Dec. 12, the 101st Airborne

Division, Fort Campbell,Kentucky commemorated the25th anniversary of the tra-gedy that took the lives of 248soldiers and eight crew mem-bers, who crashed in Gander,Nfld., on their way home froma peacekeeping mission in theMiddle East.South Langley resident Janice

Nikkel was 15 years old and liv-ing in Oakville, Ont., when thetragedy occurred.At the time, she was preoccu-

pied with the standard list ofitems important to teenagedgirls in the mid-1980s and today:school, sports, friends, and boys.I didnt think about it at the

time, even though it was bignews across Canada, recalledNikkel, a 40-year-old marriedmother of four.That is, until Nikkels mom

compared the crash to about10 classrooms at her own highschool, imagining each personhad had someone die in theirfamily right before Christmas.This was what it would have

been like for the families of the101st all from the same base right before Christmas, Nikkelsaid.Nikkel asked her mom what

Canadians were doing to showour support.Her mom didnt know.Thats where Nikkels story

begins. She wrote a letter to theToronto Star newspaper, statingthat shed donate her baby-sit-ting money to start a livingmemorial for the soldiers whoddied in Canada.I didnt think anything would

come of it. Then UPI [UnitedPress International] picked upthe story and it snowballed fromthere, Nikkel said. It was allover. My neighbours were inMexico and they were readingabout this young girl in Ontario.It was literally global.Nikkels gesture made her

a local and national celebrityat the time. She was namedOntario Junior Citizen of theYear, was interviewed by CBCradio and on television, visitedwith former Prime MinisterBrian Mulroney in his office,and even received a telegramfrom the late President RonaldReagan.There was this one year of

my life where I was a celebrity,I guess you could call it, Nikkelsaid with a laugh.The story took a tangible turn

when the late Frank Lockyear,from Portland, Ore., heardabout Nikkel on the radio andhelped the then-teenaged girland her family coordinate withthe 101st Airborne Division toplant trees in memory of thosewho lost their lives. Lockyear,who was president of ReTree

International, worked closelywith the Boy Scouts plantingtrees at various sites, includ-ing Mount St. Helens after iterupted.The following September

(1986), Nikkel spoke in front ofmore than 1,000 soldiers andfamily members inFort Campbell, asshe helped dedicatea forest of Canadiansugar maple treesin the centre of oneAmericas largestarmy bases.It was quite an

honour, Nikkelsaid. They even made me anhonourary member.This past summer, Nikkel and

her family, including husbandPeter, daughters Tori, 15, andVirginia, 11, and sons Lincoln,13, and Lewis, eight, travelledthrough the U.S. on a cross-country trip.Spontaneously they stopped at

Fort Campbell to see what thetrees looked like all these yearslater.Nikkel wasnt prepared for the

reception she would receive.

At the security gate, the fam-ily was questioned as to thepurpose of the trip to FortCampbell.When Nikkel told the secur-

ity guard she wanted to see thetrees she helped plant 25 yearsago, the stranger began to cry.

It turns out thewomans cousinhad been on thatflight.Not a day

doesnt go bywhen she drivesby those treesand thinks abouther cousin and

the sacrifice he made, Nikkelsaid.She got teary-eyed and I got

teary-eyed thinking, You dontknow what kind of impact youcan have, Nikkel said.Once past the gates, Nikkel

and her family looked at the25-year-old trees, each adornedwith a plaque remembering the256 people who lost their lives.It was emotional. The trees

had grown to a height whereNikkel was walking under thelowest-level branches.

They maintained thembeautifully, Nikkel said. It wassurreal. This was something thatwas part of an experience I hadas a teenager, yet 25 years laterthe impact is still being felt.(Nikkel blogged about the

experience at janicenikkel.blog-spot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html).With the recent 25th anniver-

sary of the tragedy, Nikkel issharing her story in an effort toinspire youth with the messagethat they can make a difference.Its a message I share with

my four kids all in school herein Langley, and those I comein contact with, Nikkel said.I didnt tell this story for along time because I didnt wantpeople to think, Oh, shes tryingto get attention for herself. But Ireally want to inspire, especiallyto young people, that they canmake a difference. Even writinga letter can start a chain goingthat is beyond anything that youcan imagine.At an early age, Nikkels four

children were made aware of thestory. A life lesson is attached toit: do unto others.Ive always challenged them

to think of others, Nikkel said.Our Christian faith plays a bigrole in our family. It takes cour-age to be that kind of personwho is not always thinking ofyourself.Planting trees is a tradition in

Nikkels family, and had beensomething theyd done in mem-ory of family and friends whodpassed away. When her grand-father and grandmother passedaway, the family planted treesin their yard to remember andhonour them.When she travelled west in

1988 to attend Trinity WesternUniversity, trees once againbecame part of her story. Whensix Trinity Western pilots died ina crash in 1991, Nikkel suggest-ed that flowering trees should beplanted in their memory.They make a row of some of

the prettiest trees on Trinityscampus in the spring and fall,Nikkel said. Today, we havea cedar tree farm in SouthLangley. I never imagined Id bea tree planter for life.

Holiday treats

Gingerbread men help kidscook up unique images.by Heather [email protected]

The Peterse family knows itsgingerbread. After all, its a holidaystaple at the bakery thats been inBrookswood for 34 years.But little did they know, when they

teamed up with the Langley Fundamen-tal Schools photography club, that theirgingerbread would go places they neverimagined. Their frosted creations ended upin hot tubs and on ski hills, trying to escapean oven or the jaws of a dog, and snoozingby the fire.

The bakery had the difficult task ofchoosing one elementary and one secondarystudent whose photo of gingerbread menwas the best of the young shooters.

It was hard to pick, saidMark Peterse, who runs thebakery with his dad Ron. Weended up taking a vote atwork.

And everyone at the bakerywas so impressed with thekids creativity that the imageshave been made into a collage,on display in the store.

Mark said the seniors, inparticular, are getting a realkick out of the photos whenthey come into the bakery.

Grade 5 student Ben vanDommelen won in the elemen-tary age category while NickMarshall, Grade 6, was chosenas the secondary winner.

Inspiration for such works can comefrom unexpected sources.

Van Dommelen said he was angry at hismom at the time.

It was supposed to be that he was run-ning away and all he brought was Smart-ies, the 10-year-old explained.

So he took some shots, but didnt likethe results.

I kept on taking them from straightabove, but it just didnt look good, he said.

Van Dommelen set the camera beside his

project, and when hecame back later andlooked through thelens with it in thatposition, he found hisshot.

Hes always been interested in photog-raphy, and helps to continue bettering hisskills with a eye to a possible career thatinvolves photography.

Marshall was a member of the photoclub last year and this year and sees howits improved his skills, skills that may comein handy when he grows up. The Grade6 student wants to be an engineer anddesigner.

His design talents were on display in hisshot of a railroading Santa cookie, usingwhat his famly had on-hand.

I went into the closet where we keep allour Christmas stuff, he said.

What caught his eye was the family trainset and some artificial trees.

In addition to winning cookies, the twoboys also got to tour Cedarbrook.

It was really cool to see what they useand all the stoves, Marshall said.

For the Peterses and Cedarbrook, it wasa way for the bakery to work with the com-munity and it wont be the last time.

Based on the quality of the work theyreceived, the owners are already lookingat future projects with the young photogs maybe delving into gingerbread houses, orcakes and cupcakes because we were soimpressed, Mark commented.

The students in the project have a photocompetition each month as they work with

Bird and Lisa Breure to learn more aboutnot only the mechanics of photography butalso the art of photography.

Were constantly amazed at what theycome up with, Bird noted.

Sweet young photographers create fun and festive art shots
