Aldergrove, Gloucester get $33.5m water upgrade Aldergrove Star

Langley Township is making an investment in infrastructure that will ensure the Aldergrove and East Langley community has safe, clean, and sustainable water for decades to come. The East Langley Water Supply Project is being constructed to pipe water in from Metro Vancouver to Aldergrove and Gloucester. “We are investing in our future by providing a reliable, sustainable water supply,” said Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese. “Bringing new, reliable, and longterm water to East Langley will protect the existing aquifers.” The East Langley water supply

project has been identified as the top infrastructure priority for the Township and was included in the Township’s 2012 budget. The project requires installation of 14 kilometres of trunk water main and construction of a large booster pump station. Aldergrove’s and Gloucester’s current water supply is from ground water aquifers, however, long-term monitoring has shown that the supply not sustainable. Langley Township Council is currently seeking public consent to borrow the $33.5 million required to complete the project. A bylaw authorizing the loan will be passed, unless 10 per cent of Township electors object.

The water utility projects will be repaid entirely through available water utility funds. “Council is pleased that these projects will not be paid through property taxes,” added Froese. “User fees have also not increased to fund the East Langley water supply project as there are enough funds in the Township’s water utility annual budget to fully repay the principle and interest charges. “The Township of Langley is dedicated to providing clean, safe, and dependable drinking water to all its residents and businesses,” says Froese. “That is why it is making an investment that will meet current demands

and ensure there is a sustainable source of water supply as the community continues to grow. We pride ourselves on the excellent quality of life our residents enjoy, and ensuring they have reliable, sustainable water is an essential part of meeting those expectations.” The Greater Vancouver Water District water will be piped into Aldergrove through Murrayville. “Additional connections in the future will give other rural areas access to sustainable water as well,” added Froese. “All of Langley will benefit from water projects, ensuring a dependable water supply for decades to come.” (See this week’s Township Pages

The situation is worse in the summer when water usage peaks. Each year, Stage 3 water restrictions are enforced, as the existing wells do not have the capacity to meet demands. Increase in demand is inevitable; the Aldergrove Community Plan projects the population in the area will grow from 12,000 to 20,000 people within 20 to 30 years. SEE: Page 3

By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

The philosophy is simple: keep the costs down and enable every youth in Aldergrove to give the game of soccer a try. That’s been the guiding principle of Aldergrove Youth Soccer Club, which wrapped up a 10-week program on Monday night at the Parkside fields for 250 youths aged five to 13 years old. The introductory spring league program gives youths a chance to try it out before signing up for the winter program, if they decide to pursue the sport further. President Bill Ede says too many youth soccer clubs are going in the other direction by offering elite

Thanks to the support of the Elks the cost was only $65 for the 10-week program in Aldergrove. “We started five years ago with 75 players and now we’re up to 250 and have ‘maxed’ out our fields,” says Ede. “But next year we’ll have the new artificial turf fields at Aldergrove Athletic Park, so we’ll have more room for more players.” B.C. Soccer president Roger Barnes has taken note of Aldergrove’s success and has asked Ede and company to write a manual that will serve as a template for other B.C. communities that wish to explore this program. “Half of our players have never played before. This is their first time at the game,” says Ede.

programs for high level players at a cost that many families simply can’t afford. Ede concedes that there is a place for the elite programs, but the unfortunate result is that many recreational players are being edged out by both the competitive level and the high costs. The spring program, which the Aldergrove Elks have sponsored for the past two years, “is being promoted by the executive of B.C. Soccer as a way to introduce new players to the game, as well as provide an inexpensive alternative to the elite programs,” says Ede. “We pride ourselves on offering a program that is fun, provides outdoor exercise and is affordable for everyone in our community.”

Suspected triple murderer nabbed Students Bare All for Cause at Aldergrove-Lynden border Black Press

The Edmonton man accused of killing three armoured guards and critically injuring another co-worker has been held in custody at the Langley detachment since his arrest on Saturday at the Aldergrove border crossing. Travis Baumgartner, 21, is accused of shooting four of his coworkers who were putting cash into an ATM machine at the University of Alberta in Edmonton on Friday. An intensive manhunt for him had been underway since Edmonton Police announced that he was the prime suspect in the murders. In that time, Baumgartner drove to B.C. and was arrested Saturday after attempting to cross the border into the U.S. at the Aldergrove/Lynden Wash. crossing. Baumgartner was taken into custody shortly after 3 p.m. when he arrived at the port of entry in a blue Ford F-150 pickup truck bearing fictitious Alberta licence plates, said U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Their queries revealed that the subject was a suspect in the robbery and murders, and should be considered “armed and dangerous”. Edmonton Police arrived in Langley on Sunday morning to do a thorough search of Baumgartner’s

D.W. Poppy Secondary teacher Kyle Barry was one of the people subjected to a head shaving June 13 in a fund-raiser for the Canadian Cancer Society. It was the culmination of a series of events that started in November with a male leg shaving event. Boys and girls of all ages have signed up for hair cuts and shaves, and teachers and administrators joined in. Poppy’s student government team has also been collecting donations in the classrooms. All money raised goes to the Cancer Society while hair that meets requirements is sent to the Havana Technical Hair Design Studio in Vancouver to be made into wigs for cancer patients. “It makes very proud to see Poppy students come out and do something as bold as shaving their heads for cancer research,” said fundraising coordinator Emily Cannon, a grade 12 graduate at Poppy.

New Aldergrove water lines to be Boat storage approved inter-connected for better capacity By NATASHA JONES Black Press

FROM FRONT: Studies show the best way to increase water capacity and security is through multiple points of connection. The new pipeline will connect from the GVWD to Aldergrove and Gloucester via Murrayville. There will be additional connections at Milner, Murrayville, and Gloucester. The project will allow for future connections along the Fraser Highway and into the Salmon River Uplands, including the Tall Timbers

and Acadia water systems. Farms will be able to draw on the new water source, according to the Township’s regulations and bylaws. Construction of the project will reduce the amount of groundwater extracted from the Aldergrove aquifer and could also reduce water extraction from the Hopington aquifer, through future or enhanced municipal water services to the Salmon River Uplands. The Township is investing in

sustainable water throughout the municipality. The Township’s share of the Barnston/Maple Ridge Pump Station is $7 million, or 41% of the total cost. This project will also enhance Aldergrove wells and aquifers and is featured in the 2012 Budget. As well, $1 million in upgrades to the Labonte Crescent Water main near Trinity Western University have been approved, which will improve water supplies in that community.

A proposal for a boat storage facility that will cover almost five acres sailed unopposed through a development hearing at Township council on June 11. The application, filed by Prime One Property Corporation/582867 B.C. Ltd., of Abbotsford, is for 4.96 acres at 3350 260 St., in Aldergrove, at the northwest corner of 260 Street and Fraser Highway. The location is immediately adjacent to the Twilight Drive-In. The facility is for recreational vehicles as well as boats. A prefabricated office building incorporating a caretaker’s suite will occupy

only 1.3 per cent of the property. The surface on which the boats and RVs will be stored will not be paved, as the storage yard will have a dust-free gravel surface. The facility will have a sani-dump for customers. Apart from the Twilight Drive-in to the west, the property is adjacent to Fraser Highway, lies west of Fraser Valley Refrigeration and east of an Agricultural Land Reserve property. A report to council notes that the property contains no ‘significant’ trees. In accordance with Township policy, 184 trees, including 24 street trees, will have to be planted.

From left to right are lifetime achievement winner Bob Puls, individual winner Natal Cicuto, Warawa, business winner Heather Jenkins and youth winner Deven Azevedo. Many people and organizations in Langley care about the environment, and are doing something to preserve it. That message came through loud and clear in the raft of nominations for the 2012 Langley Environmental Hero awards. The winners were announced recently at Fort Langley National Historic Park, where they participated in the planting of a tree to help replenish the Fort’s historic orchard. Individual winner was Natal Cicuto, who is a volunteer with Yorkson Water Stewardship Committee. He has worked closely with the developers and contractors of a massive development on 80 Avenue in Willoughby to preserve the quality of Yorkson Creek. Gemco, B and B Contracting and McElhanney were named runner-up in the business and organization cat-

egory, for their sensitive work on the development. Individual runner-up was Mike Pearson, who has championed protection of two endangered fish species, the Nooksack Dace and Salish Sucker, both of which live in Langley streams. Also nominated in the individual category were Susan Davidson, Cathy MacKay, Gary Jones, Magnus Lundh, and Annabel and Rhys Griffiths. Business and organizational winner was Heather Jenkins of 1 Fish, 2 Fish in Langley City, who has championed wild fish stocks and also supports Nicomekl Enhancement Society. Also nominated were the Arboretum and Botanical Society of Langley, Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services, Canadian Project for Manners and Civility, Coast Spas, ASAP Meter Ink, Cal Jeske and SCCanada Ltd., Jason Rite and Nitrolube Canada, and Princess and The Pea B&B. Bob Puls, who has been involved in numerous Langley conservation efforts and is president of Langley Field Naturalists, was given a lifetime achievement award. He has been actively promoting environmental causes in Langley for more than 30 years.

Aldergrove Financial Group has committed to a $50,000 donation to the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation’s “It All Starts Here” capital campaign, to support a maternity ward expansion at Langley Memorial Hospital. “Our support of the Langley Memorial Hospital helps support families in our growing and thriving community,” says Aldergrove Credit Union CEO Gus K. Hartl. “We’ve supported the foundation for years and couldn’t think of a better way to continue our support.” The expansion will allow for much needed improvements including additional single room maternity care rooms, renovated and

expanded nursery space, additional on-call rooms for medical students, a new multi-purpose space for team training and meetings, and for the expansion and relocation of the Langley Maternity Clinic. “As a local business organization and as a credit union, we take responsibility for improving the health of our community. The Langley Memorial Hospital ultimately serves us all. “Through this donation, we’re doing our part in serving our community,” said Hartl. Staff at the Aldergrove Financial Group have also raised more than $18,000 for B.C. Children’s Hospital. “Our staff truly put their hearts into this fundraising initiative to

provide funds for the children and the families that are in need of care and support through the B.C. Children’s Hospital,” said Aldergrove Credit Union CEO Gus K. Hartl. The money was raised through a variety of ways, including a raffle for a signed Kevin Bieksa jersey, bake sales, book sales and gift basket raffles, 50/50 draws, a penny drive where Aldergrove Credit Union matched every donated penny and staff jean days. Aldergrove Credit Union also had a staff team in the B.C. Children’s Hospital slo-pitch tournament. “True to our co-operative spirit our staff members and clients have come together for this very worthwhile cause,” Hartl said.

School district budget looks promising Black Press

For the first time in a long time, it’s a pretty good news budget for the Langley School District. “We didn’t have to cut a lot of things this year,” said secretary-treasurer David Green at the June 12 board of education meeting. On top of that, the district continues to pay off the deficit well ahead of the government imposed schedule of 2015. Predictions for next year’s school population are higher than expected too, he said. Next school year, enrolment is

predicted to be up by 266 students which will contribute $1.8 million more in revenue for the district. The Ministry of Education grant was down $2.2. million this year but the special education supplement was higher. Expenses for principals and vice-principals cost the district more this year than last. But where there will be a hit is the district’s pension plan which has taken a nosedive. “There is a $668,000 hit on the pension plan last year and our assets will continue to decline in value,” he said.

First and second reading of Langley School District’s budget was delayed until a special meeting next Monday, to give staff some time to complete it. At Tuesday meeting, Green said changes to how they calculate certain aspects of the budget led his finance team to redo the budget. Trustees encouraged residents to come out to an open house at the board office on Monday, June 18 before they voted. Another special meeting on Monday June 25 at 5:30 p.m. will be held to vote on third and final reading of the budget.

The zoo was packed to capacity on their special day for persons with disabilities.

Zoo’s day turns out ‘special’ Aldergrove Star

The rain managed to stay away and even at times people got to see their shadows in the short periods of sunshine for another funfilled Access Day at the Greater Vancouver Zoo. It was the 14th year of hosting people with disabilities to visit the zoo at an extremely discounted price. We hear all the time about cut-backs in budgets and limited funding but the Greater Vancouver Zoo always has a place in their heart and wants to help where they can for people with disabilities. Over 1,400 people participated

during the day with such groups as the Development Disability Association, Bethesda Christian Association, Simon Fraser for Community Living, Bethesa Surrey, Langley Association for Community Living, Chilliwack Society for Community Living, Semiahmoo House, Autism Society BC, John Howard Society and many more. The most common comment zoo staff kept hearing throughout the day was: “This is an annual event for us and we all look so forward to coming each year. We all love the zoo!”

In addition to the zoo staff, organizers were thankful for the numerous dedicated volunteers that came out to ensure that everyone that was coming through the gate received a warm welcome and some very cool animal stamps, colouring sheets and posters to take home. The interpretative talks and feedings throughout the day included the Radical Raptor Birds of Prey presentation, meet a parrot, lion and tiger feeding, meet a reptile, giraffe snack, hippo snack, squirrel monkey enrichment and the very popular miniature train that goes around the perimeter of the zoo.

Construction waste facility approved for Aldergrove Black Press

An amendment to a land use contract was approved by Township council on Monday, paving the way for Cloverdale Disposal Ltd. to establish a facility for recovering and recycling construction waste. The application is for 2.36 acres at 26103 - 30A Ave. According to a report prepared for council, the recovery facility

will accept a variety of waste material from the construction industry, including wood, gypsum, cardboard, metal and plastics. The waste will come from construction projects throughout the Fraser Valley. The centralized recovery and sorting facility will reduce the need for the construction industry to sort the waste at the construction site and then deliver the different mate-

rials to different recycling facilities. Cloverdale Disposal anticipates about 40 deliveries a day, Monday to Saturday, by vehicles ranging in size from pickups to disposal bin trucks. Councillor Bev Dornan welcomed the addition to Aldergrove. “It supports environmentally friendly containment of waste, and will bring jobs to Langley,” she said.

Man dies after being pinned while loading cement mixer Black Press

B.C. Coroner’s Service is investigating after a 60-year-old man died from injuries he sustained when he became pinned between a truck tailgate and a cement mixer on Monday night. The tragic accident is believed to

have taken place on his own property in the 26900-block of 48 Avenue around 7 p.m. Police believe the man and others were attempting to load a mixer back onto the truck when the machinery shifted and trapped the man. The men were able to free

the man and perform CPR before paramedic arrived on scene, said Langley RCMP. According to Langley RCMP, the man suffered serious injuries to his midsection and was flown to Royal Columbian Hospital, where he died.

“Our support of the Langley Memorial Hospital helps support families in our growing and thriving community,” says Aldergrove Credit Union CEO Gus K. Hartl. “We’ve supported the Foundation for years and couldn’t think of a better way to continue our support.”

“As a local business organization and as a credit union, we take responsibility for improving the health of our community. The Langley Memorial Hospital ultimately serves us all. Through this donation, we’re doing our part in serving our community,” adds Hartl.

The expansion will allow for much needed improvements including additional single room maternity care rooms, renovated and expanded nursery space, additional on-call rooms for medical students, a new multi-purpose space for team training and meetings, and for the expansion and relocation of the Langley Maternity Clinic.

Aldergrove Financial Group has a history of supporting local communities, which extends in many ways and touches numerous areas where our members, staff and their families live. Aldergrove Financial Group truly is a community credit union.

The Aldergrove Star is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council. Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, 201 Selby St., Nanaimo, B.C. V9R 2R2. For information: phone 888-687-2213 or www.bcpresscouncil.org

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has taken some modest steps to tighten up the province’s income assistance system, and to encourage people to work when they are able to. With Premier Christy Clark swooping in to take credit, Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux unveiled changes that included fixing the worst mistake in B.C. Liberal policy. Cadieux acknowledged that B.C. was the only province that clawed back all earnings from employable welfare recipients, and she announced that from now on they will be able to earn up to $200 a month without penalty. The exemption for disabled people is increased from $500 to $800 a month. Another important change is requiring welfare recipients to file income tax returns. People can now do temporary work when it comes along, report the income and take advantage of the various tax credits that come from participating in society instead of just living off it. Any experience earning money is valuable experience. With baby boomers starting to retire in big numbers, the expected labour shortage has begun across Western Canada. And yet, increasing numbers of foreign workers are coming in to do farm and other work, while many young people are unemployed.

Choosing work instead of welfare

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon took note of this during his budget preparations. Increasing numbers of young, employable people were applying for welfare in southern B.C., while jobs go begging in the booming northeast. Falcon mused about setting up a program to provide training and plane fare for these people, an idea quickly dubbed “welfare air.” Another effort to get young people working is Jobfest, a rock-themed road show currently touring northern B.C. towns. It attracts young people with music and souvenirs like drumsticks and guitar picks, and offers them skills assessment using sexy iPad apps and graphics that depict carpentry as cool. If Jobfest and welfare air sound a bit desperate, it’s because they are. They illustrate our society’s problem. We have a public school system where students pass whether they do the work or not. The culture assumes self-esteem is more important than achievement. The teachers’ union constantly sets an example that the way to get what you want is to stamp your feet and demand it from government. What do we expect young people to learn? And how easy is it for B.C. to slip into a Greece-like tailspin, where a majority expects to be carried on the backs of the shrinking minority who

do productive work? Oldtimers might recall when Mike Harcourt’s NDP government took over from the allegedly miserly Social Credit regime and raised welfare rates. They compounded that mistake by relaxing eligibility rules and making it easier for employable people to stay on welfare. After a couple of years of this wealth redistribution, 10 per cent of the B.C. population was on welfare, with more piling on every day. Faced with the results of this staggering blunder, Harcourt lashed out at “cheats, deadbeats and varmints” scamming B.C. taxpayers and launched a crackdown on fraud. Later the NDP cut the basic rate for single employables to $500 a month. Today it stands at $610, and the NDP looks poised to repeat history. Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar did a month-long publicity stunt in January, living on welfare by wandering from shelter to food bank with TV cameras trailing behind. Brar would have been better off if welfare air had been available. Instead of learning to live off the burgeoning urban handout industry, he could have gone up to Dawson Creek or Fort St. John and worked as a labourer.

When Premier Christy Clark asked me to become the Minister of Energy and Mines, she instructed me to do everything possible to spare families in this province from a forecasted electricity rate increase of more than 50 per cent over five years. Since then, I have been working hard to keep rates low for all British Columbians. One of my first steps as minister was to appoint a panel of senior officials to review BC Hydro and develop options to reduce the impact of electricity rate increases on B.C. families in April 2011. Our government’s work began with the comprehensive administrative and financial review of BC Hydro that was released last August. It laid out a plan to enable us to reduce the proposed rate increases by 50 per cent, while allowing us to make the capital investments required to reposition ourselves for the future. On Nov. 24, 2011, BC Hydro requested that BCUC confirm the reduction. BCUC approved an interim rate increase of 3.91 per cent, plus a 2.5 per cent increase to five per cent on the rate rider for a total cumulative increase of 7.1 per cent. The following spring, the BCUC concluded that more discussion would be required before making a decision on final rates. As a result, this conclusion would not come until two years into a three-year rate period. This process had already generated 24,000 pages of evidence and responses to 4,200 information requests - costing BC Hydro ratepayers $1.3 million. It was expected to generate another $2.1 million in legal fees and other costs. As the accountable and elected minister, I concluded the clock could no longer continue to tick. It was abundantly clear that to let further process occur would not be in the best interest of British Columbians, and a decision was required for the provincial government to fulfil its commitment to keep electricity rates as low as possible. On May 24, 2012, our government directed BCUC to implement the 50 per cent reduction in BC Hydro’s proposed rates over three years. This has successfully curbed the total increase of about 17 per cent, including a 1.44 per cent increase next year. Our decision ensures families will continue to pay among the lowest electricity rates in North America. It also allows BC Hydro to reduce their regulatory accounts by more than $250 million over the next two years. As well, we are working closely with BC Hydro to further address expected growth in the regulatory accounts over the long-term. Direction to BCUC is nothing new. Since 1981, the Province has issued 11 directions. Moving forward, the BCUC will also continue to regulate our public utility and scrutinize BC Hydro projects like the Dawson Creek/Chetwynd Area Transmission reinforcement project, John Hart Dam Generating Station replacement, and the Ruskin Dam upgrade project. Some have criticized our government’s commitment to keeping rates low. But ours is the responsible approach. It will ensure ongoing delivery of reliable power. And, it will enable us to create valuable jobs for families while we grow our economy. The financial health of BC Hydro was recently confirmed with superior credit ratings of AA high by Dominion Bond Rating Service and a Triple A rating from Moody’s Investors Service. That confirms BC Hydro has the capacity to pay its long-term financial obligations. We’re working hard to create a brighter future for our province and BC Hydro is an important part of that future. Our path forward is to keep rates affordable and renew our grid so it can benefit us both today and tomorrow.

This image of the ﬁrst Aldergrove Fair in 1912 shows a group of women in a foot race on what is now 272 Street next to the Alder Inn Hotel -- the former hotel was named the Hotel Western Home and the barn at right was for horses and carriages. The 100th edition of the Aldergrove Fair is only a month away and the Fair Days Committee is planning a gala event with many special features and attractions planned for the fair grounds at Aldergrove Secondary School and Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre and the attached parkland.

An ‘epiphany’ for former councillor? Bradner plans impact on ALR

Editor: I read your full-page articles on Jordan Bateman’s zealous mission to combat waste by TransLink and the onerous tax burden they represent on ratepayers since he has donned the cape of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Not that I am decrying the fact TransLink needs a major review and overhaul in many respects, but it strikes me the wrong protagonist is taking up the cudgel against them. This is the same former Councillor, Jordan Bateman, a tax and spend Liberal in every sense and meaning of the word, who approved innumerable tax increases

(5% per annum) in the Township at about double the CPI during his tenure in office, whilst defending same as crucial to support the status quo. He then had an epiphany on Fraser Highway a la Saul of Tarsus - probably behind a #502 bus - that this was wrong and the Canadian Taxpayers Federation luckily had a position available for him to immediately take up the cause against wasteful TransLink spending and public consultation antics. Why did Natasha Jones and the editorial staff at the Times and Star not challenge him on the poor optics of this sudden 180 degree turn

and the fact it would appear disingenuous at best to local residents? They have attended innumerable council meetings and would be best positioned to question the veracity of his current actions and future intentions in light of his past performance. This reminds of the story of one Stephen Harper, MP turned CEO of the National Citizens Coalition, turned MP, and now PM. By the way, an email sent to Mr. Bateman after the article was published remains unanswered. I would like to assist him on his mission. Lee Lockwood, Aldergrove

Housing needed to retain rural schools Editor: Affordable housing in ALR should be considered to keep rural schools open. I believe that the public schools in our rural communities are part of the foundation of those communities. Schools such as Bradshaw, County Line, and South Carvoth Elementary were closed due to declining student enrolment. These schools were surrounded by acreage properties that are not affordable to most younger families. I believe that limited devel-

opment of affordable housing in close proximity of these schools may have helped keep them open. Unfortunately, past councils have added another level of bureaucracy into the planning process by committing both ALR and non ALR properties to the Metro Vancouver Rural Reserve. I don’t believe that the Metro Vancouver Authority is in tune with the needs of Langley’s rural communities and will hinder the sustainability of these communities. I do believe that the majority of

farmers would support some limited growth on ALR and Rural Reserve properties if it meant that the kids would not be bused out of their community to attend school. The Trinity Western development proposal may or may not be in the township’s best interest. However, the potential legal action threatened by the Metro Vancouver Authority does illustrate how this new level of bureaucracy may impact future growth in Langley. Tod McGovern, Langley

Gift of life appreciated Editor: Thank you to the folks who donate blood faithfully to the blood bank. So many people use it every day. My husband gets a blood transfu-

sion every 10 days. There are many who need it for quality of life, or it gives them another day or another year to live. Your donation is greatly appreci-

ated. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Sam and Margaret Prystupa, Langley

Editor: We need to hang on to and examine the purpose of the ALR. There is maybe a need to review it and consider changing it to the Environmental Land Reserve instead. I oppose the removal of the lands in Bradner from the ALR. At one time I lived in South Surrey by the Stokes Pit area. It was changed to industrial zoning even though many people fought to not change it. Now the government has let it come to light of the negative environmental impact it has to the area. It has affected the water table, causing area wells to run dry. They have found it was a corridor for wildlife which lived along and migrated the Little Campbell River area. I am sure there is impact already from the Gloucester area to the water run-off. We don’t need more. Bonny Woodward, Abbotsford

East Langley Water Supply Loan Authorization Bylaw 2012 No. 4919 Section 179 of the Community Charter, S.B.C., c.26 states that Council may adopt a loan authorization bylaw to incur a liability by borrowing for any purpose of a capital nature, provided that the bylaw sets out the total amount proposed to be borrowed, the purpose for which the debt is to be incurred, the amount allocated by the bylaw to each purpose, and the maximum term for which the debentures may be issued. Sections 84, 85, and 180 of the Community Charter state that a loan authorization bylaw may only be adopted with the approval of the electors, and that approval of the electors may be obtained by an alternative approval process.

To inspect the Bylaw and related documents, and to receive an elector response form, which must be in the form established by the Township of Langley Council, contact:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Township of Langley Council intends to consider adoption of the “East Langley Water Supply Loan Authorization Bylaw 2012 No. 4919” (the “Bylaw”), to authorize the borrowing of $33,535,000 to complete the East Langley water supply connection with the Greater Vancouver Water District water system.

Persons entitled to sign the elector response forms must be qualiﬁed, registered electors of the Township of Langley who meet the qualiﬁcations referred pursuant to sections 50 or 51 of the Local Government Act, RCBC 1996, c.323. When signing the elector response form you must include your full name and residential address, and if applicable, the address of the property in relation to which the person is entitled to register as a non-residential property elector.

In accordance with the Community Charter, Council may proceed to adopt the Bylaw unless 10% of the electors of the Township of Langley sign elector response forms and submit the originally signed forms to the Deputy Township Clerk by the deadline of 4:30pm, Monday, July 23, 2012. If 10% of the electors sign and submit elector response forms by the deadline, Council must obtain the assent of the electors before proceeding.

public notice Cell Towers: Regulation and Processes The federal government, through Industry Canada, is responsible for regulating radiocommunication. This includes approving each site on which radio apparatus, including antenna systems such as cell phone towers, may be located, based on Industry Canada’s general and speciﬁc technical requirements. In exercising its mandate, Industry Canada believes that it is important that antenna systems be deployed in a manner that considers local surroundings. In this regard, Industry Canada requires proponents of cell towers to follow local government policies with respect to public notiﬁcation. In the Township of Langley, local requirements are contained in the Telecommunications Tower Master Plan Policy, which requires proponents to

hold a community consultation meeting as part of the public consultation process. Residents with questions or comments about the proposed tower can make their views known through this public consultation process. Public input obtained by the proponents at the meeting is passed on to Township staff, for presentation to Township Council. Council does not have the authority to approve or reject cell tower applications. Council’s ability is limited to either objecting or not objecting to such installations in its referrals to Industry Canada. Council does not have legislated authority to do anything else. Should Council have no objection to the proposed installation, the proponent will be permitted by Industry Canada to proceed, subject to compliance with their requirements. In the event that Council expresses objections that are considered by Industry Canada to be relevant and the proponent still wishes to proceed

with an installation, Industry Canada will make a final decision as to whether to: • approve the application; or • reject the application; or • require amendments to the application, including re-submission; or • refer the matter to an alternate dispute resolution process in order to come to a final decision. Industry Canada requires that local government decisions be limited in scope to the impact that will be had on particular amenities or important characteristics of the area surrounding the proposed site. Specific items identified by Industry Canada can be viewed on their website, at ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf08777.html. Community Development 604.533.6034

Stage 3 restrictions protect East Langley water supply

2 012

Aldergrove Star

When the weather turns hot and dry, it is tempting to turn on the tap to cool things off. But increased water use in the summer takes a toll on East Langley’s water supply, a supply that must be preserved for drinking and dealing with emergencies. From July 1 to September 30, Stage 3 water restrictions – including a ban on lawn sprinkling - are being declared by the Township of Langley’s general manager of engineering and community development for residents on the municipal water system in Aldergrove, Gloucester, and Salmon River Uplands. These areas are serviced by the East Langley municipal water system, which relies solely on municipal wells drawing groundwater from local aquifers. Stage 3 water restrictions are declared in anticipation of hot and dry summer weather, and since it is hard to predict the weather, they are put in place proactively to manage water usage. “Water demand doubles during the warm season and more groundwater is pumped from the aquifers than usual,” said Simon Tremblay of the Township’s water resources and

environment department. “If too much extraction occurs, water levels may fall below well pumping levels, causing a water shortage. Stage 3 restrictions are enforced during critical periods when rainfall is low and water demand is high, to help protect drinking water and maintain supplies needed for emergency use.” “Everyone can do their part to reduce water usage,” Tremblay added, noting that residents with private wells can support conservation efforts by voluntarily complying with the water restrictions. Other areas serviced by the Township’s municipal water system receive a mix of groundwater and water from Metro Vancouver reservoirs, and are currently under Stage 1 water restrictions which regulate lawn sprinkling days and hours. Water use restrictions are implemented through the Township’s Water Shortage Response Bylaw 2012 No. 4909. A map of the affected areas and additional information can be found on the Township’s website at tol.ca/waterrestrictions. To report a water restriction violation or to have questions answered, call the Township’s

Engineering Division at 604-5327300. Non-compliance is subject to penalties under the Township of Langley’s Water Shortage Response Bylaw 2012 No. 4909. Effective July 1 to September 30 the following restrictions are in effect for municipal water users in east Langley: • Lawn sprinkling is prohibited by homes and businesses. • Residential and most commercial gardens, shrubs, trees, and flower beds may only be watered by hand, by containers, or through drip irrigation. “Soaker” hoses are not permitted. • Pressure washing is only allowed if the work is performed commercially and the purpose is for health, safety, or in preparation for painting or similar treatment. • Decorative fountains must be shut down. • Hand washing of vehicles is restricted to features required for safety (windows, lights, licenses), so long as an automatic shut-off device is used; hand washing at commercial car washes is allowed. • Filling and refilling of private, commercial, and public swimming pools, ponds, and hot tubs is prohibited.

One of the authors, Bill Kent, who will soon be celebrating his 105th birthday, was the oldest participant, and his friend Ellen Schoeck came from Edmonton to attend the celebration.

present were Bill Kent, Annabelle Cornett, Jack Muench, Bob and Lois Crerar, Doris Mitchell, Roy & Vicki Matts, Elsie Martin, Peggy McGregor, Jim McGregor, Patricia Broughton, Anna Renfors, Anita Waska, Elsie Beggs, and Gloria and Erich Proehl. The book combines recollections and some secrets from Langley seniors and pioneers, and this unique creation is made possible by Langley Meals on Wheels. The book costs only $20, and is available for purchase at the Muriel Arnason Library. All proceeds will go to Langley Meals on Wheels programs.

For teens living with mental illness, their world can feel out of control at times. At other times it can be frustrating and isolating. But a new program that brings teens together with rescue horses gives youth with mental health issues a new sense of empowerment and a bond with some special “gentle giants.” On a recent Monday, Rachelle Sall, 15, and Jonathan Pichette, 17, graduated from a six-week program at Langley’s Healing Heart Sanctuary where the two teens, who have mental health issues, learned to lead horses. “I’ve learned a lot about myself. “I really learned how to control my emotions,” said Pichette. “When I had to pick up a horse’s hoof I was really anxious about it, but I had to control my fear. I told the horse that I was anxious but I will do this.” He explained that the “more you accept your emotions, the more willing the horse is to work with you.” Later, he showed how he calmed Rio, by putting his hand where the horse’s heart is and putting a hand on his own heart at the same time. Breathing deep breaths through the belly, a horse will synch up his breathing with the human and soon Rio’s head lowered, his eyelids drooped and his ears came forward. Pichette had relaxed the horse. The Surrey teen has found the program so rewarding that he has began volunteering at the Aldergrove horse ranch. Linda-Ann Bowling, Healing Heart Sanctuary

Jonathan Pichette, 17, tends to horse Rio at the end of a six-week therapeutic horse program at a Langley farm. The program is part of Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Adolescent Day Treatment Program for youth who are struggling with psychiatric difﬁculties. owner and facilitator of the therapeutic horse program she calls ‘Youth with a Purpose … a New Kind of Horsepower,’ said horses are highly intuitive and react to the energy people give off. “Horses are sensitive animals and respond to people’s emotions, moods, and non-verbal language,” said Bowling. “Through their work with the horses, youth learn healthy boundaries, responsibility, assertiveness and a variety of ways of interacting more positively with others.” The youth don’t actually ride the rescue horses, but form a leadership role with the large animals, bonding with them by grooming and taking

them through obstacle courses. The youth participating in the horse power program come from the Adolescent Day Treatment Centre in Surrey, which supports teens, aged 13 to 18, who are experiencing severe psychiatric difficulties such as psychotic, mood and anxiety disorders. They are also struggling with their academic, family, and social functioning. Teens taking part come from Langley, Delta, Surrey and White Rock and attend the program four days a week for six months. As the expression goes, “you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make

him drink.” The teens may have been led to this program but they are lapping up the time with the “gentle giants,” said Sall. Out of the six horses she worked with in the program, she bonded with the only female horse, Genevieve. Sall, who is shy herself, bonded with the most confident and difficult horse in the group. “If you aren’t the clear leader, she won’t go with you,” said Bowling. “She is more than happy to give you horse hugs, but won’t move an inch if she sense any skepticism.” Sall said Genevieve has given her a confidence she didn’t have before. The huge, beautiful mare has forced her to be a leader and the reward is the trust the animal has placed in the Surrey teen. Sall has been able to walk Genevieve through an obstacle course and over a bridge, something many horses are reluctant to do. The centre’s youth care worker Kristine Bateman has already seen the benefits of the program. “It’s nice for them to step outside of themselves for a while. The skills they are learning here are in the moment decision making. They are problem solving on the spot and learning that it’s OK to ask for help,” said Bateman. “By the time these teens get to us (at the centre), they have been struggling for a while. “They’ve spent a lot of time avoiding things like school. This is giving them life lessons about perseverance.” Leading a horse is no easy task. As Bowling explained, horses are constantly testing your leadership. Giving up would be an SEE: Page 13

But she’s heard the kids say: “‘If I can get a horse to move and walk over a bridge, then I can finish this math question,’ or whatever task they found difficult before.” Bowling has been inspired by the teens’ willingness to learn. “We think it has gone amazing,” she said. “What we saw was kids problem solving in the moment.” When the teens join the program, the horses don’t see them as youth, she explains. “We form a collective herd. We aren’t kids, staff and horses. And if you don’t lead a horse, they will pull you along.” The program is work for the horses, too. Just like humans, they have off days and they are “challenged by choice” not by force, just like the youth in this program. If they aren’t feeling up to it that day, they don’t have to participate. This is the first time time Fraser Health has partnered with Healing Heart Sanctuary. A total of $15,000 in funding from three donors to the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation has allowed the centre’s teens to take part in the Horse Power program. Thanks to this funding there will be a summer and fall session as well. And the demand is certainly there, because one in five children will experience a mental health challenge, according to Dr. Karen Tee, manager of Fraser Health’s youth and young adult mental health services.

Memorable. Inclusive. Sustainable. | Celebrating 25 years

Mission Folk Music Festival founder Francis Xavier life’s path might be traced back to an act of karma. Or at least that’s what he says. He pinpoints a warm summer night in the late 1960s in Monte Ray, California. He was out with friends when they happened to “trip” over a 12-foot fence and wound up in the jazz festival. He remembers wandering in to the main stadium at dusk just as Woody Herman and his Thundering Herd came on stage. The experience was revelatory. “I think the moral of the story is that if you sneak into a festival you may end up running one someday,” he says chuckling. Xavier began the Mission Folk Music Festival in 1988 at Fraser River Heritage Park, which had only recently opened at the time, and the event has been going strong ever since. Back in the 1960s when Xavier developed what would become a lifetime affinity for music, the music industry couldn’t carry the volume of artists it does today. There was no Internet, iTunes or MP3 players. So bands would go to music festivals. Some of those festivals, like Woodstock, became the iconic image of the hippy folk-rock music era. Part of those roots survive at folk festivals today, but despite his long, white wispy hair, Xavier hesitates to call himself a hippy. Born in 1950, Xavier was a product of the baby boomer generation, which he says had a lasting cultural influence on

Gearing up for Championships

The Langley School District rugby programs got together on Tuesday, June 12 at Walnut Grove Secondary to recognize the top athletes in their respective programs. The Langley Commissioners XV Award is an opportunity for the coaches of each program within a school to acknowledge that special player who went the extra mile for their respective teams. Kukri representative Jen Ross was on hand to hand out commemorative T-shirts to each of the winners for their efforts this year. A special thanks go to Kukri and Jen for their donation in the form of the T-shirts, as well as prizes to the guests attending the awards night. Commissioners XV Winners: • Walnut Grove Girls Trista Tetreault (Grade 8 girls) Breanna Owen ( Junior girls) Mackenzie Lee (Senior girls) Trevor Richardson (Senior boys) Brendan Atchison ( Junior boys) Andrew McCulloch (Grade 8 boys) • DW Poppy Tanner Graham (Senior boys) Gino Paolella ( Junior boys) Meghan Ransford (Senior girls) • RE Mountain Chris Jung ( Junior boys) • Brookswood Daniel Dejo (Senior boys) Lucas Paterson ( Junior boys) • Aldergrove Secondary Brad Wightman ( Junior boys) • Betty Gilbert Ash Hotti (Grade 8 boys) • HD Stafford Wes Van Vliet (Grade 8 boys) Other awards presented on the evening were the District Shields, which went to the team at each age level which finished first in the Langley School District. The Marvin Foss Award for Grade 8 Boys went to HD Stafford, a team which also went on to the Fraser Valley Finals and finished second to WA Fraser Middle School of Abbotsford. Betty Gilbert Middle School of Aldergrove finished third

in the Fraser Valley Tournament. The Art Smith Shield for Junior Boys went to Aldergrove Community Secondary after a very spirited match against DW Poppy. The Gord Dennison Shield which goes to the Top Girls

Gord Dennison Shield for Top Girls’ Program went to D.W. Poppy School

Marvin Foss Award for Grade 8 Boys went to H.D. Stafford Secondary.

Art Smith Shield for Junior Boys went to Aldergrove Secondary.

Program went to DW Poppy, with Walnut Grove placing a close second in this contest. The Bill Turpin Shield for Senior Boys went to Walnut Grove for their successful season; they were finalists in the Tier 2 Fraser Valley division. A special thanks to guests of honour • Jen Ross - Former national team player for Rugby Canada and Kukri Sport Representative. • Marvin Foss - Long-time supporter or schools rugby in Langley through offering his expertise to programs needing a guiding hand. • Art Smith - Retired teacher from Fort Langley Jr. Secondary and Walnut Grove Secondary, who produced countless championship level teams and players who went on to representative rugby. • Bill Turpin - Retired teacher who established top-flight rugby programs at Langley Secondary, DW Poppy and Aldergrove Secondary, as well as founded the Langley Rugby Club. A second award is named in his honour, which goes to a graduating player who not only excels in the sport but will continue on in rugby as a player and someone who gives back to the game through coaching and refereeing. This year’s winner of the Bill Turpin Award was Kadyn Foster of Walnut Grove for his dedication to his senior boys team and his work with the junior programs at WGSS. Kadyn is currently trying out for the Fraser Valley Central Team in hopes of landing a spot with the B.C. team later in the summer. Unable to make the evening was Gord Dennison who has not only produced provincial champions on the boys side but has accomplished this multiple times in the girls game and introduced the game to the ladies side when there were only a handful of teams in the province; today there are over 100 school programs for females running in B.C.

At right, Aldergrove Jays’ Phillip Stahl makes it a close call for Abbotsford Athletics runner in peewee A baseball last week. By the end of the third inning Aldergrove had found themselves down by six runs and it looked like Aldergrove was on its way to its ﬁrst loss of the season. However, Aldergrove came back to tie it up and take it into extra innings, and in the 13th inning Aldergrove pulled out the 13-12 win. BOBSSTEAKHOUSE.CA

Giants down but not out Aldergrove Star

In local senior men’s baseball (LMBA) action the Aldergrove Giants offence is not clicking and they lost two close games last week due to the lack of offence production at the plate. Both games were against division rivals. Game number one versus the expansion South Langley Red Sox was a great game that went 11 innings, only to see the Giants fall 5-7. Several Giants had good games. Starter Jacob Harder pitched five innings, giving up four runs and left with a 5-4 lead. Reliever Robin Fuller pitched four super innings of two-hit ball but gave up the tying run in the ninth 5-5. Trevor Cieszecki came in the tenth and shut down the Red Sox,

but the Giants could muster nothing in the bottom of the tenth. Red Sox scored two in the eleventh for a 7-5 victory over the Giants. Giants’ offence was led by Trevor Kuby, Steve Borth and Jacob Harder, with two hits each. Giants’ veteran catcher Gavin MacLeod smacked his first home of the year, a monster three-run shot to put the Giants up 5-4 after five. Giants with singles were Robin Fuller, Trevor Cieszecki and Mark Filiatrault. Giants welcomed injured all-star centre fielder and all-star right fielder Dan Kivinen back to the line-up, after having been off with injuries and work commitments. In game #2 it was Giants versus Langley Knights at City Park on a beautiful Sunday night. Another very good game by the Giants but

they still lost 0-2 to the Knights. Giants could only manage four hits against Knight pitchers. Steve Borth slapped out two base hits and Greg Moffatt and Trevor Cieszecki hit singles. Giants pitchers were once again outstanding — starter Trevor Cieszecki gave up two runs in the first inning and then shut the door to pitch five complete, giving up two runs on seven scattered hits. Robin Fuller then came in and pitched outstandingly — since Robin’s return from spring ball in Mexico he has been red hot. For the third outing in a row Robin pitched four innings, giving up no runs and striking out three. Giants have hit the road for a couple of games and return to Aldergrove on Sunday, July 8 and Sunday, July 15, and game times are 5 p.m.

Langley students capture top spot at B.C.’s ‘Operation Trackshoes’ Black Press

For a fourth year in a row, Langley students received top honours at the annual Operation Trackshoes event held in Victoria, placing first among competing high schools and winning the Camosun College trophy. Operation Trackshoes is a unique sports festival for people with developmental disabilities celebrating its 42nd year with a full length competitive track and field meet, a number of family picnic type games, swimming, softball, basketball, dances, concerts and

banquets. The Langley team consisted of students in Grades 8-12 from Brookswood Secondary, D.W. Poppy Secondary, Walnut Grove Secondary and Aldergrove Community Secondary, who celebrated and competed in the threeday event. However, winning wasn’t the only reward for competing athletes and coaches. Neil Campbell a Special Education Assistant from BSS who volunteered as a coach for the first time said, “This was an amazing experience for these

kids and it really puts your life in perspective when you experience something like this first hand.” Rebecca Vandermey a Special Education Assistant from D.W. Poppy who also volunteered for the first time stated,“It was incredible to see these kids compete. I had so much fun, I want to go again next year.” Sam Way, a very inspirational student from ACSS said, “I always want to try my best.” For more on Operation Trackshoes see: http://www.trackshoes.ca/

Brad Thiessen loved call up with Penguins Black Press

Bradley Thiessen received congratulations in a surprising way after helping the Pittsburgh Penguins double up the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 on Feb. 26. “I got shaving cream pie in the face from Kris Letang,” said Thiessen, a BCHL alumni, whose career started with the Penticton Panthers/ Vees, and also had stops in Prince George and Merritt. “It was after the game and the coach was talking and he came up behind me. They got me good on that one.” The Aldergrove resident, who has spent the last three seasons with the American Hockey League’s Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins, said the experience was awesome as he made 21 saves. “It was something that you always work towards. That’s the goal is to be able to play in the NHL and be able to get there and play games,” said Thiessen, who is 72-37-04 with 13 shutouts in the AHL. “Being able to contribute to winning for the team was a lot of fun.” Thiessen liked that his NHL debut against the Blue Jackets was in the afternoon. It didn’t allow him the time to sit around and worry about it or think about it all day. He also had his family and fiancé in attendance for support. “Skating on the ice and hearing the national anthem and all the fans

and what not kind of hits you,” said Thiessen, who played three years at Northeastern University. “It was pretty cool just to be able to be a part of.” Thiessen admitted to feeling nervous, especially because of who he had wanting to make him look bad. “It’s the NHL and you have Rick Nash coming down on you and other guys like that, it’s definitely a little nerve-wracking,” he said. Eventually he felt comfortable and that he belongs in the NHL. Adding to that feeling was playing with the Penguins young studs like Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Letang and Jordan Staal. “You get a lot of good practice with those guys,” he said. As for being around Crosby and Malkin, Thiessen said the best way to describe them is that they are just regular guys. Great teammates who care about the team and fun to be around. “Having a front row seat from the bench, on the ice and in practice was a great experience,” he added. “They are both extremely talented. There would be times during games one of them would do something and you just say, ‘Wow’ because there are not many players who can do some of the things that they do.” At season’s end, Thiessen’s future has become uncertain after the recent signing of Tomas Vokoun, acquired
