Tie vote means yes, residents discover By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

Some residents who objected to a proposed water service connection have learned a tie vote means yes in the Township of Langley — and every other B.C. municipality. Even though the Township sent out letters saying more than 50 per cent of property owners would have to vote for a costly hookup to a new municipal water line to approve it, it turns out the provincial laws say something else. It was the second poll of the residents of 52 Avenue between 237 and 240 Streets about connecting to the under-

construction East Langley Water Supply line. The first vote was more than 50 per cent in favour, but it was thrown out after residents Shelley Murphy and Ray Murphy pointed out five of the responses were filed on or after the deadline date. The written Township notice said the voting forms must be filed “before June 12, 2013,” not “on or before,” the usual wording used in Township documents. The Murphys said the proposal should be considered defeated. Township staff did not agree. On their recommendation, council ordered another vote.

Before the second vote in August, the Township sent out a July 17 notice that “more than” 50 per cent of property owners would have to vote yes for the hookup to be approved. The vote was a tie, with 20 owners voting for and 20 voting against. A Sept. 13 Township letter said that was actually a win for the hookup because the Community Charter, the provincial regulation that governs such votes, says “at least” 50 per cent must vote yes for approval. “That’s not fair, Shelley Murphy told council Monday night (Sept. 30).

Davey Butorac has been granted new trials, after winning an appeal of his conviction of murdering two sex trade workers. The Aldergrove man had been found guilty in 2010 of murdering Gwendolyn Lawton, 46, of Abbotsford in March 2007 and Sheryl Koroll, 50, of Langley on July 7, 2007. The B.C. Court of Appeal judgment was released on Thursday. Legal arguments were made in court on June 12. Lawton’s body was found on March 13, 2007 in a rural area of Abbotsford, while Koroll’s body was found in an industrial area of Langley City in the morning of July 7, 2007. She had been seen alive a few hours earlier. The convictions were set aside by the appeals court on the basis that the trial judge erred in accepting “the evidence of each murder as similar fact evidence with respect to the other.” Butorac’s lawyer had argued before the initial trial that the two counts should be separated, but the judge disagreed. The Court of Appeal website says “The murders occurred four months apart. The trial judge found the victims had some similar personal characteristics, their bodies were left in similar positions, and both were brutally beaten. “Both parties and the trial judge agreed, however, that these features alone were insufficient to constitute the high degree of similarity required for the admission of similar fact evidence. The critical factor was that the DNA or blood of both victims had been found in a Chevrolet Cavalier owned and driven exclusively by the appellant (Butorac). “There was persuasive evidence the vehicle had been involved in the death of one victim. With respect to the second victim, the trial judge recognized the evidence was not as conclusive, but decided that two objects found in the vehicle had the same characteristics as “patterned” injuries observed on the victim, and that the presence of her blood and DNA without innocent explanation indicated she had been in the Cavalier in close proximity to her death.” The appeals court says the trial judge erred in concluding the evidence met the high standard of striking similarity, required to justify the admission of similar fact evidence. It ordered new trials on both murder charges. Butorac is also due in court on a third murder charge, likely in early 2014. He is charged with murdering Margaret Redford of Aldergrove in 2006. Jury selection for the trial had been planned in February, but was postponed until November.

ShakeOut prepares for quake Aldergrove Star

When you live in a beautiful place like Langley, it is easy to take our safety for granted. But the west coast of B.C. is located in an earthquake zone, and the possibility of a natural disaster striking at some point is very real. That’s why staff at the Township of Langley and the City of Langley will be taking part in the Great British Columbia ShakeOut Drill at 10:17 a.m. on Oct. 17. At that time, employees will practice protecting SUBMITTED PHOTO themselves during an earthquake Township of Langley and City of Langley employees, including Sarah Larsh, by dropping to the ground, takCaptain David Sanders, and Ginger Sherlock, will be preparing for a potential ing cover by getting under a sturdy earthquake by taking part in the ShakeOut drill on October 17, and encour- desk or table, and holding on for 60 age other businesses, organizations, schools, and families to do the same. seconds.

Residents and businesses are encouraged to do the same with their families and employees. “In an earthquake, there will be no pre-warnings like we have with other incidents, like a fire alarm when there is a fire,” said Township of Langley safety advisor Sandra Ciparis, “so it is important for us all to develop our safety plan and practice them so that we and our families are ready at a moment’s notice.” “We haven’t had a major quake in 313 years,” said Langley Emergency Program coordinator Ginger Sherlock, “but Christchuch had not had one in 88 years and had forgotten.” One of the most populated cit-

ies in New Zealand, Christchurch was hit by an earthquake in February 2011 that killed 185 people and injured several thousand. “It is so easy to forget and take our safety for granted, but we live on the Cascadia fault, which has the potential to create an earthquake as severe as or greater than the Sumatra earthquake of December 26, 2004,” she said. Having a plan on how to communicate and connect with your family after an earthquake is also vital, she said. Sherlock encourages those practicing the ShakeOut drill to wait a further 60 seconds after the “shaking” stops before leaving your secure place.

Controversial composting plant put on hold By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

A controversial composting facility planned for 25330 88 Ave. in Fort Langley is on hold. Glenval Organics, the owner of the site, has been told it cannot proceed without the permission of the provincial Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). In a June 4 letter provided to The Times, ALC executive director Brian Underhill says the commission “has concluded the proposed facility

would not be in compliance with the Agricultural Land Reserve Use, Subdivision and Procedure Regulation…” The ALC based its decision on its review of information provided by Glenval at the commission’s request. “The information submitted makes no reference to a farm operation on the subject property and as such this facility would be considered a non-farm use,” the Underhill letter states. “Because you have made a non-farm use application to

the Township of Langley and the Township resolved not to forward the application to the ALC for a decision, you do not have approval to proceed with this land use in the Agricultural Land Reserve.” The ruling is a setback for Glenval, which received approval from Metro Vancouver three months earlier. The regional authority issued a solid waste licence to Glenval Organics on April 9 that limited processing to yard waste and wood chips and

excluded smellier food waste. Glenval has maintained it could operate the composting facility without ALC approval under Agricultural Act provisions that would restrict the plant to selling half of the compost it makes while keeping the rest on the site. Now that the commission has decided differently, Glenval Organics CEO Gary Nickel said the company may seek a court ruling on the matter. “We’re looking at all of our options right now,” Nickel told

The Times. Nickel said he knows of at least two other Langley farmers operating identical composting operations. “They do exactly what we do, but they have no permit [from Metro Vancouver],” Nickel said. He estimates the two-year fight to build the compost plant has cost his company “north of $200,000.” The proposal generated a storm of criticism, with opponents dominating public hearings.

Many speakers told representatives of Glenval Organics and Metro Vancouver that they are against the plant because they are worried about the effect it will have on their neighbourhood and their property values. Langley Township council unanimously voted against the Glenval Organics project in February. Because of the ALC ruling, the Metro Vancouver decision on a Glenval application for an air quality permit has been suspended.

Fight over water service vote ends in defeat for opponents, despite deadlock FROM FRONT:

DAN FERGUSON PHOTO

Shelley and Ray Murphy told Township council it isn’t fair to force them to pay for a water hook-up they don’t need based on a tie vote of residents.

“It should have been a failed vote the first time and it should be a failed vote this time.” She said her family doesn’t need the hookup because it has a well. Murphy said a “yes” will saddle them with a taxes-included bill of about $30,000 that will have to be repaid over 20 years. Another resident, Mike Parker, supported the Murphys, calling the cost of the water connection “unbelievable.” A third speaker, Ken Kostiuk, expressed support for the hookup,

saying the cost will be balanced out by savings on electricity and maintenance for his well pump. Resident Bob Sangha said having grown up in a village with no water, he supports the improvement. “We can’t stop progress,” Sangha said. Mayor Jack Froese said while it was “unfortunate” that letters had been sent out suggesting it would take more than 50 per cent, the regulations are clear. “The charter is the law of the land,” Froese said.

The hookup was approved by a seven-to-two vote. Shelley Murphy was indignant. “You ought to be ashamed of yourselves,” she said as she walked out of council chambers. The $33.5 million East Langley Water Supply project to bring Metro Vancouver water to Aldergrove and Gloucester is the biggest project ever undertaken by the Township of Langley’s engineering department. The project includes 14 kilometres of water main and a booster pump station.

Tom Fletcher

VICTORIA – I won’t be signing the “Sensible B.C.” petition to demand a provincewide referendum on marijuana enforcement. You shouldn’t either, and here are a few reasons why. Let me start by saying I’ve been calling for legalization and regulation of pot for 20 years, to conserve police resources and reduce violent crime. Our war on drugs is a failure even for heroin and cocaine, and marijuana is obviously much easier to produce. But the current effort led by Dana Larsen, B.C.’s clown prince of pot, is not only misguided, it’s dangerous. The petition does not propose legalization. It seeks to impose a provincial law that would stop B.C. police from using any resources for simple possession charges. This would create a loophole in the federal drug law. So what would that do? It would protect otherwise innocent customers of the current illegal marijuana trade, while leaving the criminal distribution business in place. For a closer look at that, I recommend reports from the Surrey Six murder trial now underway, or the upcoming case against three accused assassins of Red Scorpion gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna. Larsen’s loony law would tie police hands when they are trying to hold someone on a lesser charge while they

search for evidence of something nastier. This is a source of many simple possession charges today. Police chiefs have a different idea, asking for the option of treating simple possession as a ticket offence to keep the court time to a minimum. Both of these notions have the same obvious flaws. They don’t deal with sales to minors and they divert no revenue to government, leaving most of that in the hands of criminal dealers who buy cocaine, guns and fancy cars. Colorado and Washington have gone the legalization route, so far without interference from their federal government. These states need money, and they don’t need more crime or ill-considered hippy gesture politics. Meanwhile in Ottawa, Health Canada is trying to convert a poorly regulated mess of small-scale medical marijuana licences to a freemarket system of commercial producers. Local politicians tore a strip off Health Canada officials at their recent convention, after years of warnings that federal licences were scattered at unknown locations, often used as fronts for larger grow-ops. Mission Coun. Dave Hensman predicted that when a grower gets a letter cancelling his licence, he’s more likely to roll up a big joint with it than to shut down. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow suggested

the response would echo an old Cheech and Chong routine: “Dave’s not here, man.” Here’s another reason not to support Larsen: the conduct of his organizers. One fellow set up a petition table at, of all places, the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam. After scrawling “pot cures cancer” on the table, he proceeded to interrupt speeches by cancer survivors and the run itself by yelling the same false slogan. You can imagine how people with terminal cancer and their loved ones would react. Some would know that marijuana may alleviate side effects of chemotherapy, just as it can ease suffering for some multiple sclerosis patients. But the suggestion of a cure is as cruel as it is moronic. Larsen’s “cannibus” has been rolling around B.C., reaping uncritical media coverage. It even blundered into the recent Walk for Reconciliation in Vancouver, an event to mark the end of federal hearings into the effects of residential schools on aboriginal children. I wouldn’t support the Larsen bunch for anything, unless it involved them looking for jobs. Just say no.

Many local residents are likely outraged that the two murder convictions given to Davey Butorac have now been set aside by the B.C. Court of Appeal. Butorac is an Aldergrove resident who, in 2010, was convicted of the 2007 murders of Sheryl Koroll of Langley and Gwendolyn Lawton of Abbotsford. He is also facing a murder charge in the 2006 murder of Margaret Redford of Aldergrove. That trial will take place next year. At this point in time, it is unclear if Butorac will be staying in jail until the trial for the Redford murder begins. Black Press is trying to get a clear answer in this. The reason the two convictions were set aside is that the trial judge agreed to use evidence from one murder case as “similar fact evidence” in the other case. While there are some opportunities to use facts from one case in another one in the justice system, the Court of Appeal noted that “there must be a high degree of similarity.” While most people will dismiss this as pointless legal wrangling and differing over small matters, such is not the case. The rules of evidence exist to ensure that people who face charges in a criminal case have every opportunity to receive a fair trial. That’s why evidence gathered by police and prosecutors must be shared with the defendants and their lawyers before a trial begins. They can then defend themselves against the evidence to be used against them. In this particular case, Butorac was facing two murder charges that had some similarity. However, at the time of his trial, his lawyer asked that the two cases be considered separately and that “similar fact evidence” not be used. In other words, evidence for each separate charge needed to be provided in court. The judge ruled against the lawyer during the trial, a fact noted in the Court of Appeal decision. Now the three-member appeals court had done what the trial judge did not do, and said evidence in each cases must be independent. Butorac is not “getting away with murder.” He will be facing new trials for these two murders, and the same evidence that was presented in the earlier trial will be used again. It is unfortunate that all this extra expense is being incurred, but had the trial judge ruled differently, the courts would not be going through this exercise. In the meantime, he will face a third murder charge in the case of Redford, whose body was found in Bertrand Creek in Aldergrove. That murder shocked the community and caused many people to be fearful. It’s too bad it has taken so long for that case to move ahead. The Court of Appeal decision, while disappointing in that it ends up costing taxpayers a lot of extra money, is a victory for ordinary citizens. It confirms that anyone who is on trial must be treated in a fair manner and have every opportunity to clear his or her name. The court is safeguarding the freedom we take for granted.

Transit is a fiasco here

Editor: Regarding the public bus approved for Chilliwack–Abbotsford– Langley route: I’m thrilled, I really am, but what we really need is some way for people to get between Mission and Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows directly. Currently, if you are on the West Coast Express and you miss your stop, you are out of luck to try to get back into Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, or any other location to the west. Even with this new bus service, getting to Maple Ridge or Pitt Meadows is going to be excruciating. Pathetic! If we are really supposed to get out of our cars, how about making it possible? Then we can get into the cost. West Coast Express costs me over $300 a month and over three hours a day between waiting and travelling. I can do this in my car for less cost financially as well as saving my time. I can’t work weekends unless I drive. Oh, and even with this new bus service, you are out of luck on a Sunday. Not everybody works 9-5, Monday to Friday, people. Let’s not get started on the fiasco this Compass card and tap-in and out is going to be. They even had the audacity to state that they brought in all these money-saving features and conveniences to increase ridership and now that they have done what was intended, they are removing them. Really? How’s that for respect and thanks? If they really want us to take transit, they are going about it the wrong way. I’ve been riding the West Coast Express for six years and am going to be in my car next year. Thanks, TransLink! Kim Robertson, Abbotsford

Endangered frogs released into wild Aldergrove Star

On Thursday, Oct. 3, the Greater Vancouver Zoo was thrilled to release 325 Oregon spotted frogs back into the wilds of Agassiz. This project has been a very important part of the zoo’s conservation efforts since the frog received the status of “critically endangered” in 1999. The Oregon spotted frogs are the most endangered amphibian in Canada. The Greater Vancouver Zoo provides a “head start” program that involves removing egg masses from the wild and then raising the frogs in a captive environment until they are large enough to be released. This has proven to have a much higher survival rate than the embryos, tadpoles and small frogs would see in the wild. This is the third year that the Oregon spotted frog recovery team has released frogs to the Chaplin site in Agassiz. The hopes with releasing such large numbers several years in a row to the same site would be to see the first egg masses next year in this area. Oregon Spotted

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Wildlife biologist Andrea Gielens releasing the frogs in Agassiz. Frogs are medium-sized (approximately 5-10 cm) and named for the black blotches with light centres that are distributed across the head and back of adult frogs. These spots become larger and ragged looking around the edges as the frog ages. They also have a pair of parallel, light brown to orange ridges which are called dorsolateral folds that run from just behind the eyes all

the way down their back. Juveniles are light brown or olive green on their back and white to cream on their belly. Their mating call consists of a series of 5-50 clucks that sound like knocking on a log, or someone softly clicking their tongue on the roof of their mouth. There has been a big decline in numbers due to the area being inhabited by the introduced

bullfrog, green frogs and predatory fish that compete with the Oregon spotted frog for food and their habitat. Reed canary grass is an invasive plant that can also change the frog’s habitat. Also the loss and degradation of breeding habitat from dam construction, drainage patterns being altered, excessive livestock grazing, agricultural use for water and other human activities that reduce or eliminate shallow water. Oregon spotted frogs spend most of their time in shallow calm waters, usually floodplains and wetlands; especially ponds that has sunlight that warms the water. The Oregon spotted frog recovery team was formed in 1999 when the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) first designated the frog as “endangered” in order to save the species. The species is also red-listed in B.C. The team is comprised of biologists from provincial and federal government agencies, members of Canada’s Accredited Zoos and Aquariums and other researchers.

Cheering students and a pounding drumline greeted the Cops for Cancer team at Abbotsford Senior Secondary School last Friday, where the riders ended their 800 km journey. The Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley brought together 25 law enforcement and emergency services personnel to raise funds for pediatric cancer programs and research. The ride began on Sept. 26 in Aldergrove and has travelled through more than a dozen Fraser Valley communities. The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) had three participants in the ride; Det. Craig Burridge, Const. Trevor Sales and Const. Daryl Young. Young said the ride has been one of the best experiences of his life, adding that the best part is meeting young people who have conquered cancer. “It’s amazing to see these kids and how courageous they are in winning their fights against cancer.” He said he is also thankful for the support of the APD, which gave riders the time off of work, and the efforts of his coworkers, many of whom donated their overtime hours to Cops for Cancer. “The success of our Cops for Cancer Tour De Valley is built on the three pillars of Committed Cops, Inspirational Kids, and Caring Communities. Each community through the Fraser Valley has shown amazing support through the nine days the riders toured the Fraser valley communities visiting schools, businesses, and community partners,” said Allan Mugford, Regional Director Canadian Cancer Society, Fraser Valley Region. “We keep fundraising through the year but as of Oct. 7 the 2013 Cops for Cancer Tour De Valley has raised over $300,000 of our goal of $450,000. To help us reach our goal and make a donation that will go to pediatric cancer research and support programs go to copsforcancerbc.caand select Tour De Valley to make a contribution.”

Kodiaks work overtime to earn win Aldergrove Star

After seeing their five-game win streak come to an end, the Aldergrove Kodiaks needed overtime to get back into the win column. The junior B hockey team bounced back from a 5-3 loss to the Mission City Outlaws on Oct. 2 with a 4-3 overtime win over the Ridge Meadows Flames on Oct. 4 at Maple Ridge’s Planet Ice. The Kodiaks were up 3-1 after one period against the Flames before Ridge Meadows scored a power-play goal late in the second and then a short-handed marker early in the third to force overtime. But in the extra session, it was Elvis Jansons striking at 2:31 to get the Kodiaks the extra point. Scott McHaffie, Jacob Dunlop and Stephen Ryan had the other Aldergrove goals. Cole MacInnes stopped 22 shots for the win. In the Kodiaks’ other game last week, they led 3-2 late in the second period but Mission City tied it prior to intermission and then notched two goals early in the third for the 5-3 victory. Joshua Cronin, Adam Callegari and Roshen Jaswal had the Kodiak scores. Aldergrove leads the PJHL’s Harold Brittain Conference with a 6-2-0-0 record. HARRY HUNT PHOTO 5-3 LOSS TO OUTLAWS ENDS Mission City Outlaws goalie Jeffrey Veitch stopped all but three of the Aldergrove Kodiaks 54 shots on KODIAKS STREAK goal for their 5-3 win at Aldergrove Arena, Wednesday, Oct. 4. The Aldergrove Kodiaks surrendered

the tying goal late in the second period and then two more in the third as they saw their five-game winning streak come to an end. The Kodiaks failed to hold a 3-2 lead, falling 5-3 to the visiting Mission City Outlaws on Oct. 2 at the Aldergrove Arena in PJHL junior B hockey action. The Outlaws had raced out to a 2-0 lead thanks to goals from Nolan Dyck and Holden Wilkerson 46 seconds apart in the first period. Joshua Cronin got the home side on the board with a power-play goal with eight seconds to go before intermission and then Adam Callegari and Roshen Jaswal made it 3-2 Kodiaks with just over five minutes to play in the second. But Wilkerson’s second of the night tied the score at three in the final minute of the second and Bryce Pisiak struck on the power play 1:42 into the third for a 4-3 Mission lead. And four minutes later, Bakshi Gill made it 5-3 with the game’s final goal. The Kodiaks outshot the Outlaws 54-43 but Outlaws goalie Jeffrey Veitch earned his keep in stopping all but three of them. Kodiaks Scott McHaffie earned game third star for his two assists, while Outlaws Wilkerson and Gill were first and second stars, respectively. The loss dropped Aldergrove to 5-20-0 on the season. However, the Kodiaks still lead their division with 10 points after seven games.

Local duo tops national horse competition Aldergrove Star

Ayla Martinoff and Sarah Sewell of Langley were individual Gold Medalists at the Canadian Interprovincial Equestrian Championships in Calgary. The competition took place Sept. 13-15 and Rocky Mountain Show Jumping and the Alberta Equestrian Federation hosted the event. Nine provinces sent senior and junior athletes to compete in dressage, show jumping and reining. Team BC consisted of eight athletes, two coaches (Eleonore Elstone and Brian Morton of Langley) and a Chef d’equipe (Ali Buchanan of Langley). Ayla, riding Elton, owned by Copperstone Ventures Ltd, was very successful in show jumping, placing third on Friday and Saturday, and first on Sunday. Her

placings secured her the Senior Individual Gold Medal in the overall standings. Sarah, riding her own horse Brazil, was also very successful in dressage. She placed third on Friday and Saturday, and first on Sunday out of a field of 25 riders. She too received the Senior Individual Gold Medal in the overall standings. These results led Ayla and Sarah to nickname themselves “Team

Ayla Martinoff

Consistent.” Team BC also came home with the Team Bronze Medal in dressage. The team consisted of Sarah, Linda Poel of Lone Butte, Tegan Payne of 150 Mile House and Karyssa Church of Prince George. Team BC also placed fourth place in the overall standings. The 2013 competition was the third year of the competition being held. It was the first year that B.C. was able to take their own horses to the event. The first two years, the CIECs were held in Bromont, Quebec and B.C. team members rode on borrowed horses. Team BC was made possible by the provincial sport organization, Horse Council of BC and the sponsorship of Capri Insurane, Asmar Equestrian, Greenhawk Langley, the Dog and Pony Shop and the Equestrian Factory Outlet Langley.
