Tipsters help RCMP nab thieves in the act Aldergrove Star

Two Abbotsford men are in custody as a result of police and the Aldergrove community working together to stop crime. On August 27 just prior to 4 p.m. Langley RCMP was called to Aldergrove when two community-minded witnesses called to report a break and enter in progress. The two suspects were seen breaking into a shop in a detached shed on a property in the 2300-block of 272 Street. They were seen going back and forth from the shed to their vehicle, carrying a variety of items. The first officer who arrived saw one of the suspects fleeing on foot. This suspect was apprehended after a short foot pursuit.

The second suspect also attempted to flee but was found hiding in some bushes nearby. As the officers took the two suspects into custody, they were informed of a recently reported stolen vehicle from Abbotsford that turned out to be the vehicle used for this break and enter. Police will recommend charges for the two men, aged 41 and 42, both of Abbotsford. Inspector Stephan Drolet, Operations Support Officer for Langley RCMP said he found “it encouraging to see our community looking out for each other and instances like this, where the suspects are apprehended, the property returned and nobody hurt, demonstrate the benefits of us all working together to keep our community safe.”

Cross-border surge ‘small’ By JEFF NAGEL Black Press

HARRY HUNT PHOTO

Langley’s Brian Morton and Spitfire went up against a very strong international team and came away in the top spot, winning the $32,000 Tommy Bahama Grand Prix on Spitfire, August 24 at Thunderbird Show Park’s Summer Fort Festival. In other event news, Langley’s Andrea Strain and Lugi and Langley’s Dominique Shone and Ka Ching were among the locals competing for the $100,000 Canaccord CS12-W World Cup, August 26 at Thunderbird Show Park. American Olympian Rich Fellers on Flexible beat out 29 riders vying for that win.

Cross-border shopping by bargain-hunting Canadians got a new lift in recent months with higher duty-free limits for overnight trips introduced in June. But Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Ken Opplinger said he believes the increased flow of B.C. residents heading south this summer was relatively modest. He was reacting to new Statistics Canada data showing a 7.5 per cent jump in overnight travel to the U.S. in June. “There’s been an increase since June but not nearly so much as other places,” Opplinger said. “It’s pretty small here.” Bellingham had already been experiencing heavy flows of Lower Mainland shoppers coming south for some time, he said, thanks to a combination of B.C.’s introduction of the harmonized sales tax in 2010 and the rise to parity of the Canadian dollar. “We’ve certainly had substantial increases for a little over two years since the HST first hit,” Opplinger said. “It’s certainly the highest we’ve seen since the early 1990s.” Canada Border Services Agency staff have also been “much more lax” in checking returning Canadians and enforcing duty payments, he added. Another draw continues to be the sometimes wide differential between prices retailers charge in Canada compared to stores in the U.S. Opplinger said his office is still working to defuse friction after some Bellingham

locals accused deal-crazed Canadians of being impolite or pushy and set up a Facebook page demanding the local Costco serve only Americans at certain hours. “We’re still getting emails from Canadians saying ‘Now that I know what you really think I don’t want to come and shop there anymore.’” He described it as a small number of people not comporting themselves appropriately, but added the vast majority of Bellingham residents have friends and family from Canada and clearly understand the economic benefit from B.C. visitors. On June 1, duty-free exemptions for Canadians returning home rose from $50 to $200 for a 24-hour stay and from $200 to $800 for stays of at least 48 hours. Mark Startup, president and CEO of Shelfspace, said it’s difficult to say if cross-border shopping has cost B.C. retailers more sales in recent months. Retailers here have continued to report climbing sales, he added. The overnight duty-free changes should not have affected day trippers, Startup said. He doubts most shoppers would save enough to justify an overnight stay and the time committed to qualify for the bigger limits. “You really have to wonder if the difference in the exemption alone has had an impact.” Shelf Space and other retail organizations continue to lobby the federal government to eliminate tariffs Canadian retailers pay on many imported goods so they can sell at prices closer to those offered in the U.S.

A tasty last hurrah was held for the Langley Demonstration Garden as it prepares to move to new digs. The garden was established by the Township of Langley at 4887 – 221 Street in Murrayville in 1992 and is run by the Langley Environmental Partners Society in partnership with the Township. Providing educational and entertaining activities and classes, the garden is a haven for those who want to know more about sustainable gardening, composting, native plants, and ways to enhance the environment. On August 22, the popular annual Blackberry Bake-Off and Demonstration Garden Open House was held, marking the last event at that location. Guests tried blackberry creations created by local cooks, enjoyed a barbecue lunch, listened to live music, and visited a mini farmers market and kids’ corner. By end of September, the garden will be relocated to the Derek Doubleday Arboretum in the 21200-block of

The official opening of the new Demonstration Garden is expected by early summer 2013. “The arboretum is an oasis of trails and trees, and is the perfect place for the Demonstration Garden,” said Langley Township solid waste coordinator Debbie Fleming. “This more visible location will attract more visitors to enjoy the garden throughout the year.”

Once it is established at the arboretum, the garden will be open throughout the summer, providing green home and garden workshops, EcoExplorer Kids’ Camps, special events, and classes. Residents will also be able to drop in and ask questions of staff. LEPS will be holding a “Great Big Dig” to salvage as many herbs, perennials, and native plants as possible from the current garden location for trans-

The event will be held sometime in mid-September, depending on weather conditions. “It can’t be too hot to salvage plants,” Marples said. “It is best to wait for a bit of rain and some cooler days.” Interested members of the public will be invited to participate in the dig and take home a cutting or transplant of their own.

Vavenby crash takes life Black Press

A woman from West Abbotsford was killed in a single vehicle crash near Vavenby early Monday morning. Clearwater RCMP report that at 5:47 a.m., police received a report of a crash on Highway 5 north of Vavenby. A Clearwater detachment member initially attended the scene and confirmed that a female passenger in the vehicle was deceased. Clearwater ambulance also attended the scene and transported the driver and two passengers to the Clearwater hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Initial investigation reveals that the driver, who was southbound on Highway

5, appears to have fallen asleep. The vehicle went into the northbound lane and off the road to the left into the ditch. It appears that the deceased was not wearing her seat belt and as a result was ejected from the vehicle. A traffic analyst from Kamloops and a representative from the B.C. Coroner’s service attended the scene. The investigation has been turned over to the Central Interior Traffic Services Unit out of Clearwater. The deceased has been identified as Jenny Terese Klassen of Mount Lehman. This matter is still under investigation.

Shooting charges to court Black Press

A 20-year-old Langley man has been released on bail and the charges against him have changed. New information has been provided to Crown, and now Slade Berggren is charged with unlawfully discharging a firearm and use of a firearm during an offence. He was originally charged with careless use and possession of a firearm, unlawfully discharging a firearm and uttering threats. He will make his next court appearance on Sept. 19 to fix a trial date. On Monday, Aug. 13, dozens of police descended on rural 269A Street in

South Aldergrove, after 911 calls about shots being fired. Berggren is accused of firing a gun, with at least one bullet hitting the victim’s truck, after a dispute with a neighbour about some vandalism that had occurred.

Crackdown to curb distracted drivers

Accused assailant arrested Black Press

A random and violent incident Friday night on SkyTrain involved an accused Langley man who is well known to police. At 8:15 p.m. on Friday, August 24, a drunken man staggered onto the SkyTrain at the Metrotown Station. He immediately began swearing at two male passengers in the train car, both of whom tried to ignore him. He then gestured to one of the men, threatening to fight him at the next stop. At New Westminster Station, the suspect got off the train but stayed close to the doors, calling the man off the train for a fight. Just as the doors were closing, the suspect jumped back on the train and punched the victim in the face, causing

A Classic Pony Car

TransLink boosts Surrey-Langley buses By JEFF NAGEL Black Press

Aldergrove’s Tom McFarlane and his 1969 GT 350 Ford Shelby were among the Mustand pony entries at the West Coast Mustang Car Show, August 26 at Thunderbird Show Park.

TransLink’s latest shuffle of its bus service will see more frequent runs on heavily used routes in Surrey and Langley. The transportation authority is continuing its “service optimization” strategy that pulls resources from underused routes and adds it in areas where planners think more riders can be served, and more fare revenue can be pulled in. “The majority of the increases are going into the Surrey/Langley area and also up to SFU in Burnaby,” spokesman Drew Snider said. He cited growing demand south of the Fraser and said TransLink has tried to avoid making major service sacrifices elsewhere. “So far we’ve been able to keep those reductions to things like

weekends, late nights and early weekend mornings where quite frankly it was underused,” he said. “It just didn’t make sense to have a bus driving around at those times that often.” As of Sept. 3, the #345 White Rock Centre-King George Station bus will run every 20 minutes in the weekday morning peak, instead of every 30. The #395 King GeorgeWillowbrook will run every 12 minutes in mornings (instead of 15) and every 20 minutes (instead of 30) in afternoons, and all trips will start from 200 Street and 64 Avenue instead of running a shorter route. The #640 Scott Road StationLadner Exchange community shuttle gets upgraded to a full-size bus on Saturday evenings, Sundays and

holidays. And the #501 Surrey CentralLangley Centre will run more often Saturday afternoons. Buses to SFU’s main campus will also run more often – the #143 from Coquitlam Station will run every 12 minutes eastbound in the afternoon peak, the #145 to Production Way Station will also run every 12 minutes southbound from 4 to 9 p.m. and the #135 from Burrard Station boosts its Saturday night frequency. One of the service cuts will see the #595 that goes from Langley Centre over the Golden Ears Bridge to Maple Ridge run a shorter route that terminates at Maple Meadows Station. Riders used to going all the way to Haney Place Mall will now have to transfer. Full details are at www.translink.ca/servicechanges

‘Centre Stage Players’ take five medals were delighted with the award. Ron May also won a silver medal for Best Original Script. The director, Ron May, and assistant directors, Rae Purcell, Diane Giesbrecht, Mary Renvall and Raymond Hatton won a bronze medal for their direction of this zany play. Two of the actors also won medals for their performances in Love, Lies and In-Betweens: Diane Gendron won the gold medal for her portrayal as the chatty, busybody neighbour, Clara, and Dan Tribe won a bronze medal as the

Langley’s Centre Stage Players were in the medals in the One-Act Play competition on Friday at the B.C. Seniors’ Games in Richmond. Centre Stage took medals in all five categories, from bronze to gold. The play, “Love, Lies and In-Betweens” was written by local playwright, singer, songwriter, actor and director Ron May, and won a silver medal in the Best Production category. Cast members, Bev Pride, Dave Williams, Beebe Fleming, Dan Tribe and Diane Gendron

slightly loony character, Ted, who was “lost in the movies.” Gendron said of her win, “There were 17 other actresses in the competition so winning the gold was an exciting honour.” The adjudicator in the competition, Mike Stack, commented that, “It was a very clever script, a fun play.” Langley audiences had the opportunity to see Love, Lies and In-Betweens when it was performed at the Langley Seniors’ Centre earlier in August.

VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix has announced that one of his first acts as premier would be to withdraw B.C. from the joint review of the Enbridge pipeline proposal from Alberta to Kitimat. The two-year federal-led review will be mostly done by next May, but Dix proposes to start a new provincial assessment to examine at the B.C. portion. He doesn’t know how much it would cost, and under questioning he all but admitted the intention is to study the pipeline to death. Fresh from a summer tour of the pipeline route to reaffirm solidarity with its opponents, Dix is hardly in a position to consider anything but maximum resistance. As Premier Christy Clark did in her showdown with Alberta over benefits, Dix hinted that provincial permits for river and wildlife crossings would be made as expensive as possible, if not refused. The same fate awaits the Kinder Morgan plan to twin the existing Trans-Mountain oil pipeline to Burnaby. Dix left the impression that he would undo the years of work that have gone into bringing some rational sense to environmental approvals that can be, and have been, dragged out for years. The B.C. hearings would provide another platform for opponents, and more complaints to justify refusal at the provincial level, to go along

Studying projects to death

with court cases and directaction protests. Speaking of which, the frontal assault by agitators at the federal Enbridge hearings has mostly petered out. After 4,000-odd people were signed up to speak, most didn’t bother, and some hearings were cancelled. Apparently slacktivists such as “Jonathan L. Seagull” and “Cave Man” didn’t make it out of their Vancouver basement suites to tell the panel oil is bad. Professional environmentalists are now wringing their hands over Ottawa’s decision to leave smaller-scale reviews to the province. This means, for example, that there won’t be a duplicate federal review of the urgently needed refit of the John Hart Dam on the Campbell River. One reader suggested that environmental pioneer Roderick Haig-Brown is still spinning in his grave over the damming of this legendary salmon river. Perhaps, but that was in 1947. Does it make sense today to lard pointless bureaucracy onto a reconstruction that replaces wooden pipes and provides earthquake protection, without expanding river impact? NDP environment critic Rob Fleming hammered away at the B.C. Liberals about this in the spring, reminding them that Auditor General John Doyle had exposed a lack of resources in the B.C. Environmental Assessment

Office, even before Ottawa’s changes. Fleming makes it sound like a huge new burden has been dumped on B.C. False. Provincial assessment already must be done with the participation of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Transport Canada, the provincial ministries of natural resources and energy and mines, and of course aboriginal communities. This is why it’s so long and expensive. And don’t be fooled into believing that a federal review would go out and count the tadpoles and caribou again. It’s only the desk jobs that have proliferated. There weren’t just two levels of duplicate review, but three. Earlier in their mandate, the B.C. Liberals exempted major projects such as mines and energy generation from local government control, citing the “provincial interest” similar to the federal authority over projects that cross provincial borders. I agree with the NDP that B.C. environmental assessment needs more resources, in particular to do the follow-up on approved projects, as called for by the auditor general. Forest management needs more money too. All the more reason not to waste resources on political gestures.

Days are getting shorter, the air is getting cooler, and summer is coming to an end. It is back to school time and as children return to class, drivers and pedestrians need to be alert - for everyone’s safety. “Drivers throughout the community need to slow down and use their road sense,” said Township of Langley Transportation Engineer Richard Welfing. “Children are excited and may not think to put safety first, so it is important that drivers are cautious and obey traffic rules around schools.” Parents dropping off and picking up their children also need to be attentive. “Back to school is a hectic time and parents are often in a rush,” said Welfing, “but you need to focus not just on your child but on all the children and other drivers around you.” Throughout September, Langley Township Bylaw Enforcement Officers and the Langley RCMP will ensure traffic rules are followed in school zones. “We will conduct enforcement operations to target and educate the public and students about the risk of speeding,” said Staff Sgt. Alex Bodden of the Langley RCMP’s Community Policing Division. “We have had problems with pedestrian safety at some of our schools as well, and will be taking action against those who jaywalk or violate crosswalks. We have been fortunate over the last few years that there have been no significant injuries in school zones - and our goal is to keep it that way,. A lot of harm can be prevented by simply slowing down and paying attention.” “We encourage parents to remind their children about the rules of the road and go over their route to school with them,” added local ICBC road safety coordinator Leanne Cassap. “Older kids need to be reminded about road safety, too. As well, drivers should expect busier roads at this time of year so they should allow extra time.” ICBC provides free material to BC schools to help students learn about road safety through fun, interactive activities. The material is unique to each grade level, from kindergarten to grade 12. For safety tips or to order school material, go to icbc.com/road-safety. ENFORCEMENT IN PLACE TO PROTECT CHILDREN Simon Jottey has seen and heard it all. As a Bylaw Traffic Enforcement Officer, he has watched parents illegally parked in a school zone yell at their children to get in the car then speed away before the youngsters are safely belted in. He has also heard parents loudly goad him to ticket offenders – knowing full well those same hecklers would make excuses if they were found doing the same thing. “It’s not about ‘getting caught’ or being embarrassed. It’s not about making excuses,” Jottey said. “The rules are there to prevent people from getting hurt. At elementary schools, children are five to 13 years old. It doesn’t take much to hit a child and knock him over. Compare the size of any vehicle to a little kid.” This September, Langley Township’s Bylaw Enforcement Officers and the Langley RCMP will be issuing verbal warnings and giving tickets to drivers who disobey parking and speeding laws in school zones. While parents and other drivers are busy and in a rush, they need to think about what is at stake and pay attention, because a vehicle can do an awful lot of damage to a human being. “Nobody wants to see an accident happen to a young family,” Jottey said, noting that one poor decision made within a split second can cause a lifetime of grief. Many times he has seen drivers waiting in school zones with their vehicle running and in gear, and their foot on the brake, surrounded by dozens of little children. It is also common to find motorists parked “only for a minute” on crosswalks, at curbs with yellow lines, or in no parking or stopping zones - areas that must be kept clear to allow pedestrians safe access or because visibility is limited. Even more hazardous is when drivers panic and take off when they realize Bylaw Enforcement is approaching: “That is the worst thing you can do,” Jottey said. “It is so unsafe for the children inside the car and for everyone around you.” In some cases, Enforcement Officers only want to issue a verbal warning, but drivers who react in a dangerous manner can expect that talk to escalate into a ticket. And tickets can be mailed to offenders – they don’t have to be issued on the spot. “Don’t think you got away with it,” said Jottey. “The laws are there for a reason: to protect children and drivers alike.” That lesson may be driven home with fines. Bylaw officers can issue tickets of up to $50 for school zone parking infractions and the RCMP can fine drivers between $196 to $253 for speeding in a school zone or $368 for driving with undo care and attention.

Krause Berry Farm to move into wine business To begin, the winery would produce 15,000 (1,600 cases) of fruit wine from strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries grown at Krause Farms. It is possible that a small vineyard on the farm would eventually lead to grape wine. While the main focus would be the sale of wine from the on-site retail store and winery lounge, wine would be offered to other outlets, including government liquor stores. “Although grape wines have a

By NATASHA JONES Black Press

Fickle weather, high labour costs and global competition for the jam and juice market may mean that the area commonly known as Strawberry Hills will grow less and less of the bright red, highly aromatic juicy fruit. A strawberry growing and processing industry once thrived in Strawberry Hills, which lies roughly between 240 and 248 Streets south of 72 Avenue, producing in a good year more than 20 million pounds of strawberries. But times, if not palates, change, and when a local food processor recently decided to no longer accept strawberries, it forced one berry farmer to look at other ways to keep his property agriculturally viable. With its good soil and proximity to Vancouver and the Canada/US border, Strawberry Hills puts Krause Berry Farms and other area producers in a unique position. As Alf Krause notes, while the urban Vancouver market puts pressure on producers, it also provides an opportunity that no other can. “Our location allows us to pick, process, and deliver our products at the moment they are at their very best,” he said. And while the strawberry may no

greater universal appeal, fruit wine has traditionally enjoyed great favour with female clients in the 35 to 60 age range,” Krause Farms wrote in their proposal to the Township. “And increasingly fruit wine is gaining popularity with twenty-ish customers, as well as with clients, including bars, who like to mix wine cocktails.” Industry trends suggest that British Columbian wine is increasing market position compared with beer.

In early July, Krause Berry Farms, which Krause operates with his wife, Sandee, received approval from Township council for a winery lounge that can seat up to 130 patrons. Half the seats would be indoors, the other on a patio. A permit also allows it to establish winery special events area. When the farm layout was first

designed, consideration was given to neighbours so that today, the buildings are in the centre of the property, well off 248 Street, and a parking lot for 200 vehicles ensures that there is no on-street parking. The increasing interest in wine, culinary and agri-tourism gives strength to Krause Farms’ proposal to create a fruit winery that will support a winery lounge, licensed patio, picnic area, and special events section.

Youngsters enjoy playing in the sandbox at Krause Berry Farms, among other activities. With berry season in full swing the farm offers plenty of activities for the family such as their petting zoo, as well as a full menu of pies, ice crea, lattes and fresh roasted corn. The farm is open seven days a week at 6179 - 248 Street.

Aldergrove Kodiaks hockey fans will get a taste of the Junior B team’s prospects when they lace up against the Richmond Sockeyes this coming week. The home exhibition game takes place at Aldergrove Community Arena on Wednesday, Sept. 5, 7:15 p.m., followed by a trip to the Sockeyes’ Minoru barn on Sept. 8. The Kodiaks’ first home season game will be the following Wednesday, Sept. 12, against the Ridge Meadows Flames. “This year’s team will be young, fast and hopefully, productive,” says Kodiaks GM Rick Harkins. Many of last year’s players aged out this year and several others are still away at camps with Junior A and higher clubs. “We had five full teams show up at the prospects camp and we whittled that down to two teams for the main camp,” said Harkins. “We have about 30 young guys still skating with us and we’ll trim that down to about 21, 22, next week.” Among last year’s players who are definitely returning to the lineup are Ryan Veillet, Daniel Higgs,

Another Aldergrove forward, Jared Stuart, is expected to bring some toughness to the Kodiaks, provided his broken hand heals in time. Forward Darcy Rai is also coming back to Aldergrove, in a trade with Kamloops. The Koddiaks are also welcoming Ron Johnson back as head coach, and he will be charting the team this year the same way NHL clubs do. “Ron is going for his PhD at the University of Wisconsin and the charting will use the Kodiaks as guinea pigs for his doctorate,” says Harkins. “It’s a lot of work and is something new for us but will help us develop the players at a higher level.” Assistant coaches will be Harkins, Tavis Eaton and Steve Howerton.

Rumours of Canucks farm team in Abbotsford downplayed By KEVIN MILLS and DAN KINVIG Black Press

Skater awarded for teaching kids Aldergrove Star

Debra Tomsic of the Aldergrove Skating Club was honoured with the Program Assistant Award for all of British Columbia and Yukon. The annual awards banquet was held on May 5 in Burnaby. Debra has been an assistant for eight years and is a huge asset to the program. One parent wrote of Debra: “my daughter’s eyes light up and she heads straight for Debra when she steps on the ice to learn to skate.” Debra will be back this year to teach a new group

Local stakeholders downplayed a Vancouver newspaper report that Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini is interested in buying the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre and stationing the Canucks’ AHL affiliate there. Abbotsford city manager Frank Pizzuto said he is not aware of any dealings between Aquilini and the city. He noted the rumour has come up before, but said no talks

have taken place. “It’s not on the market,” he said, referring to the AESC. “I don’t know where that comes from.” Lane Sweeting, a member of the local group which operates the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat, echoed Pizzuto’s statement. “The first I heard about it is when I read the report,” Sweeting said. “If they are sniffing around, I guess they would go to the city first.” The Canucks responded to queries from Black Press by issu-

ing a statement via email. “Canucks Sports & Entertainment maintains a strong, ongoing relationship with their AHL affiliate the Chicago Wolves,” the statement read. “The club will not address speculative reports or discuss the partnerships of other NHL teams.” Fueling the Aquilini speculation is the notion that a Canucks farm team in Abbotsford would make sense on a number of levels. A local AHL affiliate would further strengthen the Canucks’

already-strong brand, while facilitating greater convenience for the team in terms of player recalls and prospect development. The rumoured transaction could benefit the city, too. The Heat are affiliated with the Calgary Flames, one of Vancouver’s division rivals, and have struggled at the box office over their three-year history. Attendance has dropped each year, from 3,897 to 3,807 to 3,545 last season. But a team linked to the Canucks would be a better draw.
