Aldergrove redevelopment gets thumbs up
Flying High at Skate Park
Aldergrove Star
HARRY HUNT PHOTO
Josh Thorley gets some air on his trick scooter at the Aldergrove Skate Park, Wednesday, May 8. Cranky’s Bike Shop sponsored the day’s events at the park, in the lead-up to the grand competition slated for Sunday, June 23 at the park.
The proposed redevelopment of a boarded-up former gas station and a fast food outlet in Aldergrove won a thumbs-up from the hotel located next to the one-acre site on the southeast corner of 264 Street and Fraser Highway during a Monday night public hearing. Best Western Hotel manager Ven Srinivansan told Langley Township council that he “strongly supports” the replacement of the graffiti-covered buildings with four one-storey commercial buildings. Hotel property manager Barry Reavis also spoke in support of the proposal that would rezone the site to permit a change from a gas station to a mix of other businesses. There was a single objection to the proposal, filed in writing, by one person who worried the proposal would take business away from the downtown core of Aldergrove. The new commercial buildings would cover 1,113 square metres, fronting Fraser Highway and 264 Street with 53 parking spaces in the back. A staff report to council described their design as “one of contemporary west coast character, clad in heavy timber cedar, tongue and groove siding, stucco siding, laminated frosted glass canopies and cast in place sand blasted concrete.” Completion of the public hearing moves the project a step closer to a final vote on approval at an upcoming council meeting. Most members of council are on record as supporting the project, with several talking about the need to do something about the run-down site at the April meeting that granted preliminary approval to the rezoning.

Toddlers taken by air ambulance Aldergrove Star
Air ambulance had to touch down in Langley twice this weekend to help toddlers in serious medical situations. On Sunday night, an air ambulance landed on the playing field at R.C. Garnett Elementary on 201 Street in Willoughby just before 9 p.m. Scan BC reported that the ambulance flew to Langley to meet a ground ambulance, whose crew was transporting a two-year-old
child with serious medical issues. On Saturday evening, a toddler was flown to B.C. Children’s Hospital after falling from a second-storey window of an Aldergrove home. The two-yearold boy is going to be fine, B.C. Ambulance Service told the media. Around 5:30 p.m., emergency crews responded to a home on Springfield Drive in Aldergrove near Fraser Highway. The playing field at the back of
Shortreed Elementary School on 28 Avenue was blocked off to make a landing zone for a a medivac helicopter. The fall is a good reminder to all parents to secure windows and make sure to move anything they can climb on like furniture or planters. Last year, a two-year-old girl died after falling off a balcony in Surrey and in Mission a girl fell through a screen.

A two year old who fell from a home’s second floor window was taken to hospital by air ambulance on Saturday evening. The boy is recovering.

Urban chicken coops proposed for Township By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
A campaign to allow Vancouverstyle urban chicken coops in Langley Township back yards will come before council next month. It’s the idea of Emma Giesbrecht and the Otter Flying Feathers 4H Club, who wanted 30 minutes to make their case for a permit-based process that would allow 4-H members who don’t live on farms to raise chickens and rabbits at their homes. Instead, council voted to give Giesbrecht and the club 10 minutes on June 10 at the afternoon council meeting and asked them to provide more information about the proposal before the presentation. Giesbrecht, a 13-year-old Brookswood resident who joined 4-H four years ago, has set up a Facebook page, “Chickens for Langley, BC” that calls for allowing backyard chicken coops in residential areas like the cities of Vancouver, Seattle and New York. “Chickens make fantastic pets, are easy to care for, and have great personalities,” the page states. “They are quieter than dogs. They

chickens at a South Langley farm. The City of Vancouver approved urban chicken coops in residential backyards in 2010. During the debate that preceded the decision, opponents worried

about everything from noise to an alleged risk of bird flu and a possible rise in predators. The Vancouver Humane Society and BCSPCA were concerned the coops were a fad that would lead to
neglect of the birds once interest faded. Since then, about 100 Vancouver households have obtained permits to raise chickens. The City of Vancouver Animal Control Bylaw limits the number of birds in a back yard to four hens, no roosters, four months or older. It sets out the minimum size for coops and requires owners to “maintain each hen enclosure in good repair and sanitary condition, and free from vermin and obnoxious smells and substances.” Coops have to be kept locked from sunset to sunrise and owners must “remove leftover feed, trash, and manure in a timely manner … store manure within a fully enclosed structure, and store no more than three cubic feet of manure at a time.” Ducks, turkeys, and other fowl or livestock (such as goats) are not allowed. Eggs, meat, and manure cannot be sold for commercial purposes Backyard slaughtering is not allowed. Registration of birds is free and it can be done online.
Gardening workshops return By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
St. Dunstan’s Church is hosting free gardening workshops again this year. The Garden to Table (G2T) program is working in partnership with Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) to present a Gardening “101” series of free workshops for new or novice gardener on Saturdays at St. Dunstan’s Church Hall at 3025 - 264 Street, Aldergrove. Patsy Homan instructs youths in her Garden to Table (G2T) gardening class on Monday afternoons at St. Dunstan’s Church in Aldergrove. “We have just started planting up the raised beds - we have 16 in our (church) garden. They are learning about planting seeds, potatoes and vegetable starts this summer,” said Homan. “In their journals, they record the planting dates for each vegetable, how far apart to plant the seeds and paste the seeds onto the page so they know what they look like. By the end of the summer, they will have a scrapbook they can keep for many years as a reference.” The kids’ class is part of the Garden to Table program. In the summer, they will harvest the veg-

Aldergrove’s Lloyd Delves (right, with wife Lorna) received his 40 year service award from Fire Chief Steven Gamble at the Langley Fire Fighters banquet and awards night, Saturday, May 11. Lloyd began his fire service career in Delta (1969-1973), then Port Hardy (1973-1977) and Slocan (1977-1981) where he served as Fire Chief and Ambulance Attendant. The Delves family then moved to Aldergrove, where he joined Aldergrove Fire Department Zone 3, where he still serves after 43 years in the fire service. Along with Lorna, Lloyd’s father Charlie, daughter Lisa and grandchildren Tavis, Keegan and Chase, were present for the ceremony on Saturday.
A team of local cyclists will complete the third annual Cycling4Diversity trip on May 21 to 24, travelling from Victoria to Abbotsford. The crew – led by Mission’s Ken Herar – will visit 14 cities along the way, speaking to schools and community groups about diversity and inclusion. Cycling4Diversity Week runs from May 19 to 25. A rally to welcome the group home takes place on Friday, May 24 from 6 to 7 p.m. at The Reach Gallery Museum, 323888 Veterans Way. Food and refreshments will be served.

Fraser River rises with snowmelt, rain By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star
The Fraser River is rising fast as a result of rapid snowmelt from last week’s hot weather as well as rain since then. The B.C. River Forecast Centre on Monday issued a high streamflow advisory for the Fraser in the Lower Mainland, as well as
further upstream in Quesnel, the Fraser Canyon and at Hope The Fraser was flowing at 9,000 cubic metres per second at Hope as of Monday and that was forecast to reach 10,000 as early as Wednesday and potentially 11,500 by Thursday. “Given current rates of rise in tributary channels, and we weather
yesterday and today, model results may be underestimating the rate of rise in the Lower Fraser,” the forecast centre cautioned. A high streamflow advisory means river levels are expected to rise rapidly, and although minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible, no major flooding is expected.

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s View
Work for us, not against
Editor: Regarding various articles in The Aldergrove Star edition of April 25 why does the “Township put brakes on Aldergrove?” Are the councillors working for or against us? When it comes to the pool one councillor says that a bigger pool would cost more to heat. Hasn’t he heard of geothermal heat? And it wouldn’t only be Aldergrove taxpayers paying for it. It would be all of Langley Township paying for it. We in Aldergrove pay for the Langley Events Centre too. We also don’t need a new ice rink; we’ve got the Events Centre with more than enough seating. Another councillor doesn’t want businesses built at 264 Street and Fraser Highway, but he is in a conflict of interest as he owns a business in downtown Aldergrove. And maybe we would get other businesses rather than just hair salons and pizza shops? This property has been an eyesore for years. Why didn’t the councillors step up and have bylaws deal with it, not just recently comment about it? Next civic election we should vote for councillors that will woprk for Aldergrove, not against it.

VICTORIA – Another election campaign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for anything they can portray as a conflict. Now comes the time to wonder why not enough people cared, or informed themselves about the real problems of running this $40 billion corporation called the B.C. government. Why would they, when the whole thing is presented as a combination of beauty contest and sports event, with endless discussion of polls and “attack ads” and who’s ahead and what’s the score? Again we have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell’s observation that elections are no time to talk about serious issues. Indeed, there are some things you can’t speak of at all. Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm caused a stir at a candidates’ debate when he referred to constituents’ concerns that disabled children can cause difficulties in classrooms. He didn’t say classrooms should be segregated, although that’s a discussion worth having. He didn’t deny the need for more support for special needs kids. But his opponents immediately portrayed it that way, and media seized on the conflict despite the factual inaccuracy.
Things you can’t say in elections
West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan had a similar experience when he referred to his study of poverty in that affluent area. He noted that there was a high correlation between single parenthood and kids in poverty. Picking on single mums, his detractors exclaimed, and that’s what got reported. The B.C. Conservatives kicked their BoundarySimilkameen candidate out of the party because he wrote an article saying women shouldn’t choose to be single mothers. You can talk about child poverty, as long as you only discuss it based on federal statistics that do not measure poverty. Christy Clark started doing this as soon as she became B.C. Liberal leader, one of several issues where she dispensed with the facts and tried to copy a popular NDP stance instead. She was all about families, which can of course be single people, single parents or pretty well anything you want them to be. In fact the decline of the traditional family and the abdication of responsibility by many parents, fathers in particular, are central factors in the problem of poor and neglected children. But you can’t talk about that, at least not during elections. Whole areas of political discussion have devolved
into euphemisms that are chosen because they can’t be defined. Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing,” for instance. What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it. Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live. We even have rules preventing the media from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport. The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors involved, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips. Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca
Editor: Give me a break! Township council needs to give its collective head a shake. We don’t need a rink at the site. We already have a rink that is perhaps due for a tune up, but services the current needs of the community. What we do need is a pool, and a big pool. One that will not only service the community but will bring in revenue from top rated swimming events. This pool wouldn’t only be servicing Aldergrove, it would provide a service to residents of Abbotsford just east of Aldergrove just beyond Station Road. Swim meets are not held weekly or monthly..they are seasonal, much like hockey and soccer and other sports. Changes are made for those events but the rest of the year it’s status quo. There is huge potential to having a pool that can bring in local, provincial and international swimming competitions. We are so close to the Abbotsford Airport, that an internationally recognized swimming pool would be a huge bonus. Stop with all the objections and start looking outside of the box. Aldergrove (as part of the Township) needs an influx of revenue, and this is an opportunity to do just that, to put some life into this community. Debbie Atkinson, Aldergrove
Fed up with spoiled stars
Editor: Brett Lawrie is obviously having trouble handling the pressure of being a baseball player in his home country. He recently went off on twitter blistering fans who he believes are unqualified to level criticism of his play. Lawrie had an exaggerated sense of self worth before he arrived in Toronto, and it has expanded there with his modicum of success. He will get paid millions to play a silly game in which he was lucky to have been randomly supplied with the skills to do so. What a great contribution to society. He is the one that deserves derision in light of the fact that in his profession one is considered an elite if his success rate at hitting the ball is 30 percent. For those living and working in the real world such a performance standard would result in dismissal. I doubt that Lawrie will develop the maturity to one day realize that it is the fans that put him in his mansions and expensive sports cars. I’m tired of spoiled, petulant athletes that blame others or complain about their good fortune. Tim Opper, Aldergrove
Embarrassing behaviour
Editor: As a Canadian I am embarrassed by my fellow Canadian shoppers at Costco Bellingham with their two or three jerry cans at the Costco gas station. Do they realize how painful it is to wait for them to fill those three cans plus their vehicle? Take a look around. Barely any American vehicles in the lineup. They keep their mouths shut so as not to be rude. Why don’t we be a little bit more courteous and put some voluntary limit on the amount of time we take for a refill? Maybe even just one can if you really need it. Richard Howse, Aldergrove

Aldergrove dancers win Ultimate Peak Challenge Aldergrove Star
Contemporary dancers from the Aldergrove dance studio Kick It Up A Notch Academy of Dance were named the overall winners of the Ultimate Peak Challenge at the Abbotsford Peak dance competition at the Abbey Arts Centre last week. Studios from throughout the Fraser Valley were represented in over 1,000 different dances in the week-long event. The judges decide the overall first place pieces in each age category and these dancers are asked to perform in the Ultimate Peak Challenge. Out of the 1,000 dances, only 17 dances were given the honour of performing in the finale event. With the overall highest

scores in their divisions, Kick It Up A Notch had the honour of being asked to showcase two different pieces in the premier event: a Division 2 jazz solo by Alaina Orr as well as a Division 4 senior contemporary piece, “Come Home” that shares the story of the relationship and difficulties of having a loved one away at war. When all the performances in the evening finale event were completed, it was Kick It Up A Notch’s “Come Home” that was named by the judges as the overall winner. “Just to be asked to perform in this event was such a big honour,” said studio director and choreographer Tonya Wejr, “but then to be recognized as the overall top dance in the entire competition… pretty much left me speechless. These girls have worked so hard this year and we were even down a dancer (due to injury) so to have them rise up like this makes me so proud.” Wejr was also given two overall choreography awards, includ-

Summer Maintenance of Rural Boulevards and Ditches The Township of Langley uses three full-time and one seasonal roadside grass mower for ditch mowing. This equipment has predetermined routes or an assigned area to follow. If the equipment is pulled away to do a specific request, it only lengthens the time it takes to fully complete all the rural boulevards and ditches. If you have a request for mowing or brushwhacking, we ask that you be patient as we try to fit the work schedule in as efficiently as possible. The Township, along with Provincial and Federal agencies, have classified open channel water systems into three categories: Class A ditches are fish bearing and Class B ditches are fish habitat. Both of these categories require formal approval before any work can be completed. Class C ditches are deemed to have no fish or fish habitat issues whatsoever and only require notification for work to take place. How or when a ditch is cleaned depends on its classification. Thank you for your understanding as we operate under these requirements. Engineering Division 604.532.7300
