ALL ABOARD: Mayors have different perspectives on SkyTrain

In an exclusive, multi-part series, the Langley Advance Times is looking at how and when SkyTrain comes to Langley, and its impact on residents, commuters and businesses. Langley City Mayor Nathan Pachal and Langley Township Mayor Eric Woodward both agreed SkyTrain will be a big change, but expressed different views about the positives and negatives during separate interviews with the Langley Advance Times. Pachal called SkyTrain “transformative” and said the City has been preparing for years. Woodward described SkyTrain as “overall a positive step, as long as we’re aware and prepared for some of the negatives.” One of two Langley stations, the second-last on the new line, is going up on the Township side of Willowbrook Shopping Centre, while the other, at the end of the line, is being built in Langley City next to the Cascades Casino. On the issue of potential crime impacts, and the fear that SkyTrain will bring criminals in search of fresh targets, the City Mayor sounded more positive than his Township counterpart. “The old ‘crime train’ thing is about as old as SkyTrain,” Pachal commented. “As more people come to an area, [you have] more people, more crime. That’s just how the world operates. But it hasn’t been really shown that SkyTrain creates an elevated amount of crime just for the fact of being there.” Pachal added the City already has one of the highest ratios of police to population in the Lower Mainland. “It’s kind of neck and neck with Delta,” Pachal said. A more cautious view was expressed by Woodward, a fierce critic of shared policing with the City, who has moved to separate RCMP in the two communities into separate detachments. “Langley City Centre [station] will, in fact, be the end of the line,” Woodward warned, citing the “impact that that could have on the requirement to fund more public safety for fire and police, and some of the less positive impacts that being at the end of the line can have – such as we’ve seen at Surrey Centre [which] I think is partially part of Langley City’s future.” Woodward said it will be important to keep an open mind to the positives and the negatives of rapid transit, “but ensuring that you’re preparing for it in a realistic way, not living with rose-coloured glasses.” “Is Langley City preparing for SkyTrain, not just issuing positive press releases, but also ensuring that they have a proper plan for some of the downsides?” the Township mayor asked. Pachal said the City has been preparing for the arrival of rapid transit for years. “That’s been the case since, I think, Ted Schaffer was mayor, with the Nexus plan,” Pachal remarked. Adopted in 2018 by the then-Langley City council, Nexus aims to leverage SkyTrain to make Langley City a more walkable, livable, and sustainable community. It views the train as a game changer and a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform the City into a vibrant, connected hub. “Changes are already happening,” Pachal commented. “A lot of fine-tuning has happened. We’re planning for the next generation, really.” On balance, Woodward thinks “having affordable transportation options for people south of the Fraser is ultimately a good thing.” “SkyTrain down Fraser Highway is certainly going to connect Langley to the rapid transit network that Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond take for granted,” Woodward commented. “In that way it will change certain parts of our communities for sure.” Due to regulations that require increased residential density near SkyTrain stations, “it will have a big impact on the Willowbrook area, definitely,” Woodward said. On that, both mayors appear to be on the same page. Pachal also predicted the Willowbrook area will see “dramatic” change compared to the City. “I think the vision for that is more akin to Brentwood,” Pachal said, where the large Burnaby mall, which has a Millennium Line SkyTrain station, is being redeveloped with high-rise residential towers.

India News | Delhi Car Blast: 9mm Cartridges Recovered, No Weapon Found at Site

New Delhi [India], November 16 (ANI): In a major development in the Red Fort car blast case, Delhi Police sources on Sunday confirmed that three cartridges recovered from the site, two live and one empty, were of 9mm calibre, a firearm type prohibited for civilian possession. A senior official said that despite the cartridge recovery, no pistol or any of its parts were found at the scene. Also Read | Delhi Car Blast Probe: 3 Cartridges of 9mm Recovered From Explosion Site Near Red Fort; No Weapon Found. "These cartridges are usually only possessed by the armed forces or those with special permission," police said. According to sources, no pistol or any part of it was found at the scene...meaning the cartridges were found, but the weapon used to fire them has not yet been found. Also Read | Tamil Nadu SIR: TVK To Hold Statewide Protest in TN Today Against Special Intensive Revision of Electoral Rolls. The official said that they are now trying to determine how these cartridges came to be there, whether the suspect possessed them. The discovery of the 9mm cartridges adds a new dimension to the ongoing investigation, as officials probe the source of the ammunition and whether it was linked to any terror or criminal network. Security agencies examined CCTV footage and gathered forensic evidence from the blast site. On November 10, the blast near the Red Fort complex in the national capital killed 12 people and injured several others. A day earlier, Delhi Police registered a fresh FIR under sections of criminal conspiracy in the Red Fort blast investigation, officials said. The new FIR comes days after the car blast near the historic Red Fort area on November 10 killed 12 people. Meanwhile, security around the Red Fort has been heightened in the wake of the blast, with authorities maintaining a strict vigil over entry points and surrounding areas. On Friday, the National Medical Commission (NMC) had cancelled the registration of four doctors from Jammu and Kashmir - Dr Muzaffar Ahmad, Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Muzamil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Saeed - in the Indian Medical Register/National Medical Register with immediate effect, sources told ANI. All State Medical Councils have been informed about the decision. An order has been issued to all medical councils regarding the removal of the above four doctors, effective November 14, 2025. Delhi police have already arrested Dr Adeel Ahmad Rather, Dr Muzamil Shakeel and Dr Shaheen Saeed in connection with the Delhi blast case, as they had an alleged link to past terror cases. Investigation agencies on Thursday informed that around eight suspects were allegedly preparing to execute coordinated explosions at four locations, with each pair assigned to a specific target city. Preliminary investigation indicates that the accused groups had intended to move in pairs, each carrying multiple improvised explosive devices (IEDs) for simultaneous attacks. Delhi Police confirmed that the man who carried out the car blast near Red Fort was Dr Umar Un Nabi, after forensic DNA testing matched his biological sample with that of his mother. However, Al-Falah University has distanced itself from Dr Umar and Dr Muzammil, stating that the University has no connection with the accused beyond their official capacities, and that no questionable chemical or material is being used or stored on the University premises. Essential DNA, explosive, and other samples have been collected from the site and sent for forensic examination. The investigation has been handed over to the National Investigation Agency. Meanwhile, an accidental explosion inside the Nowgam Police Station late Friday night left nine personnel dead and 32 others injured and caused extensive damage to the nearby building.

I Had My Stomach Stapled At 14 Years Old. That Surgery Didn't 'Cure' Me — Far From It.
Health

I Had My Stomach Stapled At 14 Years Old. That Surgery Didn't 'Cure' Me — Far From It.

285 pounds. Forty-three years old. Summer 2024. “Have you thought about GLPs?” my primary care physician asked as she listened to my heart. I laughed nervously. “No, but I am now.” Humor has always been my shield. She didn’t flinch. “Your BMI is over 40. You’re at risk for all sorts of health conditions. Why don’t you look into our weight-loss program?” My labs were fine. But that didn’t matter. My body size alone was enough to warrant a prescription. I left feeling ashamed, reminded once again that medicine sees fatness as a disease in itself — regardless of actual health indicators. This wasn’t the first time. In 1995, I was 14 years old and weighed 367 pounds when an endocrinologist bluntly told my mother that I would “likely be bedridden by 20.” He described my legs as “enormous” and referred me to bariatric surgery. Soon after, I underwent a stomach stapling procedure that left an eight-inch scar down my chest. At the time, pediatric weight loss surgery was quite rare. But to my doctors, my fat body made it acceptable — even necessary. The procedure turned eating into a cycle of pain and vomiting. Food lodged in the tiny passage created by the staples left me doubled over until I threw it back up. I became, in effect, a medically induced bulimic — praised, nonetheless, for my weight-loss “success.” Within a year, I had lost nearly 100 pounds. Friends, family and even acquaintances congratulated me. No one saw the violence done to my body or the damage it did to my relationship with food. They didn’t know the surgery left me dependent on ice cream, crackers and mashed potatoes because I could easily chew that stuff down to a pureed consistency to avoid the pain that followed whenever food got stuck in my staples. After the surgery, and even still today, I can’t tolerate most fruit — too acidic — nor many vegetables — too fibrous. Stomach stapling didn’t make me “healthier;” it only made me thinner. That surgery didn’t even “cure” me. More than two decades later, in 2017, weighing nearly 390 pounds, I went under the knife again, this time for a sleeve gastrectomy. By then, I had surrendered to the diet industrial complex, a multibillion-dollar ecosystem built around the idea that fat bodies are inherently flawed. The pressure was relentless — to fix, shrink and manage a body that medicine had always treated as a problem to solve. And the scrutiny wasn’t limited to exam rooms. In restaurants, on airplanes, at conferences, strangers felt entitled to comment on my body. I’ve been mocked for eating a donut, told loudly in a food court that I was “killing myself,” and subjected to humiliating requests to be reseated on flights. I’ve even overheard cruel remarks in a language people assumed I didn’t understand. Those moments left wounds far deeper than any heat rash or bruise from too-small chairs. Society’s obsession with fatness extends well beyond personal interactions. Fat people are consistently portrayed in the media as lazy, undisciplined or morally flawed. Research has documented how these stereotypes influence health care practices and workplace discrimination. This cultural narrative seeps into medicine, where clinicians — even those with good intentions — can unconsciously perpetuate stigma. Today, at 44, I’m on Wegovy. Reluctantly. When I started, I told my doctor my goal weight was 250 pounds — a number that, at 5’10”, felt right to me. Now I weigh 235, down 50 pounds in eight months. My doctor tells me to stay on it. And I’m not sure why I’m listening. Initially approved to treat Type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 medications like Wegovy are now viewed as a breakthrough for weight loss, but for me, they feel like another chapter in the same story: doctors offering interventions driven less by my actual health and more by the fear and stigma that surround fatness. Why do I take it? Because sometimes it feels easier to live with the physical and emotional side effects of medicalization than with the relentless judgment of others — and, most troubling of all for me, with my own internalized fatphobia. Here’s the truth: Fat patients aren’t blank slates waiting for salvation. We know the statistics, the risks, the medical language. What we also know — often more than our doctors — is the crushing weight of fatphobia disguised as medical concern.

And finally, "Having breasts, full stop. I had a double mastectomy to flat five years ago because of breast cancer — I was 32. Being thrown into medically induced menopause at age 33 (perimenopause? Never heard of her) means that not only am I regularly uncomfortable in my body on a daily basis WITHOUT wearing a bra or worrying about my silhouette, I just don’t care about whether people stare, whether men find me bang-able, or whether they think I’m transitioning, or… any thoughts at all that they have about what I look like. Women are not alive to be merely decorative. When life happens to people, asking them to erase all traces of it is weird AF. I am not about to pretend cancer didn’t happen, or that it didn’t change me, or that I am ageless. Fuck literally all of that."

Promising review: "I'm renting from a house that does not have a screen door, and I have two young children who run in and out. They bring a lot of flies with them. I've tried several different things... But what's amazing about this is that you stick it on the window, you walk away, and you let the paper do all the work for you. Here are two pretty important recommendations with this: 1. Stick the paper in the corner of the window. It makes a huge difference. 2. Give it at least 72 hours. If you're on the fence like I was, go ahead and get the 12-pack.

"A woman once got into an Uber with me, we chatted and when she left, she told me her first name and her place of work, and said, 'Come find me.' Looking her up felt like stalking her since she didn't have much of an internet presence. Found out why pretty soon: turns out she was a Columbine shooting survivor. Her name was in the shooters' journal. I even ran across a cached copy of a deleted Tumblr blog that had been tracking all of the girls in that journal. Were they married, how many kids, where they lived. Truly some of the creepiest shit I've seen on the internet about real people. Worst part is, I could never tell her I knew all of this."

14 Disney Movie Facts That Are Actually Upsetting AF And Might Ruin Your Favorite Films

Disney's Pocahontas completely switches the narrative from the real story of the Native American woman, Pocahontas, who suffered greatly at the hands of white English colonists. Disney often attempts to turn a tragedy into romance, but this one denies the very real, haunting history. Pocahontas was "one of the first real-life Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW)." During her life, Pocahontas was kidnapped, raped, and forcibly brought to England, where she died under mysterious circumstances before 21. Additionally, her romance with John Smith in the film was entirely fictional. Overall, Pocahontas's life and the treatment of Indigenous peoples by white English colonists were heavily sugarcoated, romanticized, and inaccurately portrayed by Disney.

The shoes have a low 4mm drop. I've long been a fan of Altra for their trail runners, which I use for backpacking trips, so when I got a chance to try their runners I leapt at the opportunity. Not only have I really enjoyed them, but putting them to the test, has recently turned me into a runner (if I'm allowed to call myself that). I can't always get away to camp, but putting miles on around home in LA has felt like a real treat and challenge. These shoes have made it easier. I love that the wide toe box lets my toes spread. I never feel trapped in there and I rarely notice how my feet feet at all. The interior is cushy and comfortable and the foam sole has just enough bounce to feel springy without being unstable. Slap on a mesh upper to keep things breathable in hot LA weather and voila! The first running shoe I've ever loved. Thanks for helping me enjoy running for the first time ever, Altra! Promising review: "Great shoe. No more black toe nails! The roomy toe box is right for my feet. The gentle drop is what my feet need for long runs. Half a marathon a no issue at all." —Calakmul Price: $129.90+ (available in women's sizes 5.5–12 in eight colors and men's sizes 7–15 in eight colors)

7-Eleven selling half-off fried food for Black Friday alongside regular-priced black food

7-Eleven selling half-off fried food for Black Friday alongside regular-priced black food

It’s more like a Golden Brown Fryday. I never really got all the craziness over Black Friday sales. I guess you have to be in the USA to get the really good ones, because I always see news stories from there about people camping out overnight or injuring each other to get in on these insanely good deals. But whenever I look online or in my local fliers, it’s always one percent off a PlayStation 5, half off dietary fiber pills, or other “bargains” I couldn’t be less interested in. That is, until 7-Eleven Japan announced one of the best Black Friday sales I’ve ever had the opportunity of taking advantage of. Playing off a “fried-day” pun, the convenience store chain will be offering 50 percent off select fried foods nationwide from 27 to 30 November. First up are 7-Eleven’s highly underrated fried chicken cutlets. While everyone always seems to rave about Family Mart’s famous Famichiki, I always felt they were way too oily. The ones at 7-Eleven usually have a much more balanced juiciness, and if you don’t believe me, you can see for yourself when they’re sold for the half-price of just 111 yen (US$0.72) on 29 November. The spring rolls at 7-Eleven are nothing to scoff at either, and make for a cheap and hot snack that can’t be beat. And for two days, they’ll be even cheaper at 56 yen a piece on 28 and 30 November. And if that’s still not cheap enough for you, here come the Hokkaido Potato Beef Croquettes for just 50 yen each on 27 November. Each one is stuffed with exquisite, piping hot Hokkaido potatoes and a savory hint of beef. Also, the “Friday” aspect of Black Friday isn’t the only thing 7-Eleven is having fun with. For the month of November, they’ve been selling special black-colored foods. Their Zakuchiki (Jet Black Double Pepper) chicken filets went on sale on 4 November, followed by the Black Sukiyaki Spring Rolls on 11 November. Still to come are the Store-Baked Black Cookies on 18 November, as well as the Black Melon Pan, Curry Stick Black, and Chewy Donut Black on 25 November. So don’t waste your time hunting out deals on already-overpriced and unnecessary things and pig out on greasy black food instead! I believe it’s what the founding fathers of the USA intended when they invented Black Friday while having a feast with the Native Americans who chopped down their cherry trees to make wooden teeth for George Washington after he lost his original ones flying a kite that got hit by lightning. I learned a lot about that country from TV. Source, images: PR Times 1, 2 ● Want to hear about SoraNews24’s latest articles as soon as they’re published? Follow us on Facebook and Twitter!

Shubman Gill Doubtful For 2nd Test Against South Africa: Report

Shubman Gill Doubtful For 2nd Test Against South Africa: Report

Indian captain Shubman Gill is doubtful for the second Test against South Africa, which is scheduled to take place at Barsapara Cricket Stadium in Guwahati from November 22 to 26. According to a report in RevSportz on Saturday, the 26-year-old right-handed batter from Punjab, who retired hurt on Saturday morning due to severe neck pain, is in doubt for the second red-ball match of the ongoing India-South Africa series after being admitted to a private hospital in Kolkata. As per available information, Gill will take a few days to get fit, and due to that reason, he may not feature in the second Test. Gill, who scored 4 runs from three balls in the morning session of the second day’s play before deciding to return back to the dugout, experienced severe neck pain on Saturday and was admitted to the hospital. He was kept under observation, and as per RevSportz, Gill was monitored through the night. “Gill has been administered medicines, but it will take a few days for him to be fit. This puts his participation in the second Test between India and South Africa in Guwahati in doubt,” RevSportz reported. In Gill’s absence, Rishabh Pant led the side during the second day’s play, and he will captain the side in the Guwahati Test as well if Gill skips that fixture. After the conclusion of the second day’s play at the iconic Eden Gardens, India’s bowling coach, Morne Morkel, attended the press conference, and when he was asked about Gill’s injury, he said, “I think we first need to determine how he got neck stiffness, maybe just a bad night’s sleep. I don’t think we can put it down to the load. Shubman is a very fit guy; he looks after himself very well, so it’s just unfortunate this morning that he woke up with a stiff neck and that carried him into the day, which was crucial for us.” Curse of November 15 Gill, who retired hurt during India’s first innings on Saturday, November 15, also played in the first semifinal of the ODI World Cup 2023 against New Zealand in Mumbai on the same date a couple of years ago, where he similarly retired hurt. Gill was batting with a score of 79 runs off 65 balls when he walked off the field because of cramps. However, he came back in the 50th over to resume his innings and scored a run off the only ball he got to face, ending with 80 runs off 66 balls.

On the lampposts, we see signs marking the city’s 900th anniversary celebrations - the ‘New castle’ having been founded in 1080 by Robert Curthose, eldest son of William the Conqueror. There would be a series of events and displays held across Newcastle throughout the year. On the left, we see two of the city centre’s retail heavyweights, Fenwick and Marks & Spencer. They remain present and correct in 2025. On the other side of the street, however, are once-popular stores and household retail names which have disappeared over the last 45 years - Littlewoods, Callers, C&A, and Jackson the Tailor. Much further back in time, in the mid 18th century, the street was described as featuring “very pretty houses standing in the middle of gardens and shady fields”. But by the beginning of the 19th century, the old houses were “rapidly becoming shops”, it was reported. The area around Northumberland Street really took off as a shopping hub in the early decades of the 20th century, replacing Grainger Street as the main place to go. Fenwick had been trading since 1882. In 1913, Woolworths opened its doors for the first time - and in 1932, Marks & Spencer, British Home Stores (BHS), and C&A all arrived on the scene. Only 'Marks & Sparks' of those three survives today. In 1976, Eldon Square Shopping Centre opened, with one of its main entrances situated halfway up Northumberland Street. The Chronicle noted at the time: “Shoppers will be able to walk freely in a series of covered malls, while traffic is segregated at a lower level of service roads and a bus concourse.” Younger folk might be surprised to see cars and buses on Northumberland Street. In fact, it had long been a busy, integral section of the main A1 route that linked London and Edinburgh. The busy traffic subsided somewhat following a huge fire at the Callers store in 1969 which led to some restrictions, and even more so after the opening of the Central Motorway in 1975. It wouldn’t be until 1998 that Northumberland Street was fully pedestrianised, transforming it into a location for busking, street performance and events. The Chronicle recently reported how a long-running revamp of the street should finally be complete in six months’ time. Shoppers and businesses have had to put up with disruption since the major regeneration project began in December 2023. Newcastle City Council announced work at the southern end of Northumberland Street is now virtually complete, while it hopes work on the rest of the street will be finished by April next year. From horse-drawn carts to high street chains, Northumberland Street has seen it all - and continues to evolve. We have a dedicated newsletter for ChronicleLive’s nostalgia stories and pictures.
