Soil dumping restrictions ‘don’t go far enough’ By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
New rules to control landfills in Langley Township have been approved by council despite a lessthan-enthusiastic assessment by a community activist who lobbied for a stricter alternative. Under the newly amended bylaw and related policy, large soil deposit and removal applications must go through a petition process that allows owners of properties near a fill site to express support or opposition. Offenders face a fine and possible prison time, up to a maximum of $10,000 or three months in jail, or both. The policy and bylaw were put together with input from concerned residents, developers and law firm Bull Housser and Tupper. Before councillors voted to give final approval to the proposed regulations on March 3, they heard from Kevin Mitchell, speaking for a citizens’ group which he said spent “literally hundreds of hours” reviewing
the issue. Mitchell said the new regulations are “seriously flawed,” only “marginally stronger” with “minimal penalties” for people who dump fill without a permit. Among his objections, Mitchell said the new regulations don’t require people applying for a dumping permit to provide a technical justification when they apply, something he called a “blatant omission.” Mitchell said the township should use a waste transfer station to dispose of fill from construction sites and other excavations to fix what he described as a legacy of “poorly run fill sites” in Langley. Councillors Kim Richter and David Davis thought the Mitchell idea deserved study, but they couldn’t convince the rest of council to delay the vote until Township staff had a chance to review the notion. It was the last appearance before Township council by Mitchell, who said he is preparing to relocate from Langley to the Shuswap.

dent against incumbent Liberal MLA Rich Coleman in the 2013 provincial election, where the challenger finished last in a field of five. In an interview at the time, Mitchell said that while the cannon issue “was the impetus” behind his decision to run as an independent, his concerns also included dumping of landfill material and better management of development. In a written press release issued following the council vote approving the new landfill rules, township soil enforcement officer Paul Albrecht said the revised bylaw “strikes a balance between giving residents input into proposals that may impact the neighborhood and the broader community, while still providing an opportunity for a land owner to initiate a proposal that may improve their property.” The new regulations cover nonfarm use soil deposit and removal applications. Fill proposals for land on protected farmland within the Agricultural
Land Reserve (ALR) in Langley will still require approval of the provincial Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). “It is important that residents who wish to deposit on or remove soil from their property attain a permit from the Township,” Albrecht said. “We strongly encourage residents to contact the Township for information related to the Bylaw and policy prior to initiating such work.” Over a three-year-period, more than 100 applications were made for fill sites in Langley. Many residents have complained about illegal dumping, where ponds have been filled in and setback requirements haven’t been respected. Albrecht said residents who suspect illegal dumping or excavating should call the township Soil Hotline at 604-532-7349 or the operations centre at 604-532-7300.

Zoo’s ‘Papa’ the lynx succumbs to cancer Aldergrove Star
The staff of the Greater Vancouver Zoo and veterinarian Dr. Bruce Burton made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize their eldest Eurasian Lynx named Papa on Thursday, April 3. “The decision to euthanize was based on Papa’s difficulty breathing and inability to swallow,” said zoo spokesperson Jody Henderson. “Biopsy results of a mass in the nasal cavity confirmed adenocarcinoma (cancer). Papa’s first sign of illness was nasal discharge noticed on Feb 4, 2014. He was treated with several different antibiotics, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatories with no positive results and we felt his quality of life was not
acceptable anymore. The zoo has rescued numerous exotic animals over the years, including Papa, who was rescued from a private owner back in 2000 in poor body condition. After months of continual care Papa was nursed back to a healthy Eurasian Lynx. The Greater Vancouver Zoo does not encourage individuals to keep exotic animals such as a lynx for a pet. Lynx are typically skittish, very private and solitary animals, in addition to having specialized needs which the average person is not familiar with. Papa was approximately 19 years old and the median life expectancy for Eurasian Lynx is 15 years.
Eurasian Lynx are listed as “least concern” conservation status by the IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) Red List. They are currently found in 46 countries in Europe, northern Asia and the Middle East. Illegal skin trade remains the leading threat to the species, together with habitat loss and prey base depletion (Gov’t. of US 2007a, IUCN 2007). “It is always extremely difficult losing a member of our zoo family. Papa will be missed dearly by those who cared for him and those who connected with him through their visits to the zoo. And a special thanks to Dr. Burton for always being so compassionate and caring to our family,” said Henderson.

The new Live Langley civic party has selected its candidates for the November municipal election, but is not willing to say who they are just yet. Party president Clint Lee said there will be at least four Live Langley hopefuls campaigning in the Township race, describing them as strong candidates who believe that development in the Township needs to be better managed. “Something needs to be done,” Lee told The Times on Monday. Lee hasn’t yet decided if he will run himself. “My primary concern is building the party and finding great candidates,” Lee said. He said Live Langley is not anti-development, but it does object to what he calls an “overabundance” of big development proposals that don’t respect the existing character of neighbourhoods like Brookswood, where there was a battle over a proposed plan to increase housing density. Community plan changes were defeated by council Monday night. “We [Live Langley] do want to see development … but we want sustainable development,” Lee said. During a recent appearance at the second night of the marathon public hearing on the Brookswood plan, Lee drew appreciative laughter when he spoke by referring to Willoughby, the rapidly-growing Township neighbourhood where he lives, as a “cautionary tale.” Lee described the current council as a “slate” several times as he spoke, demanding they “listen to the vocal majority” and reject the plan.

Aldergrove fair days set for July 18-20 Aldergrove Star
Aldergrove Festival Days Society is focusing on two major events this year and they will feature some new attractions for the 102nd year of the fair tradition in Aldergrove. The two events are the Aldergrove Fair Days ‘Tractorfest’ to be held on July 18-19-20, 2014, and the Aldergrove Christmas ‘Light Up’ Parade which is always held on the evening of the second Saturday in December. The FireFit Festival has been cancelled for this year in Aldergrove and the Aldergrove Festival Days Parade will be moved back to the Saturday of the Aldergrove Fair Days, July 19. On July 18-19-20, Aldergrove Festival Days Society and Aldergrove Agricultural Association jointly host the Aldergrove Fair on the grounds of the Aldergrove Athletic Park and Aldergrove Secondary School (26770 - 29 Ave.). Aldergrove Festival Days President Karen Long said, “As this year’s theme is ‘Tractorfest’ we are hoping to provide our attendees at the Fair with a ‘Rainbow of Tractors’ to see and learn about.

Business as usual for local Sears Home Services Company Despite Sears Canada’s recent news about Sears Canada and the home services division, it’s business as usual at the local Sears Carpet Upholstery, Air Duct Cleaning & HVAC Services. “The company continues to carry on business under the Sears brand name, stated owner operators Gary and Lauri Yarrow. Customers have been calling our office concerned that we may no longer be in business after watching the recent news regarding issues some customers are having with ‘other’ Sears Home Services”, stated owner-operators Gary and Lauri Yarrow. After 20 years of providing High Quality Carpet Upholstery, Air Duct Cleaning & HVAC Services for our customers under the SEARS HOME SER-
VICES Brand, we were informed that in March of last year SEARS CANADA INC entered into a deal to sell this branch of their operations to SHS Services Management Inc. To all of our surprise on December 13th 2013, just before Christmas we were informed that SHS had gone into receivership. The Yarrows said they want to reassure their carpet and duct-cleaning customers that this has not quality service to our customers’. “Our business is good! We have a great local client base and we don’t want to lose that” says Gary “We were told to just keep going with our services,” Ms. Yarrow said. “We’re still active … I wanted to just clarify that.”

A ‘modest proposal’ on B.C.’s recycling system
VICTORIA – Have you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet? By now most drivers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport standards so it could be used for border identification with the magnetic swipe strip on the back. About one million of us now have the newest version, with a creditcard style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibility for our famously “free” medical care. The motor vehicle office started issuing them about a year ago, as fiveyear licences expire. They replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as people held onto their access to our defenseless, overworked medical system from wherever they moved to. Positive identification is only the start for this card. Each will be assigned a password that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an ER, their eligibility is confirmed and any previous conditions or medications are accurately matched. (Note that medical information is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.) Patients will be able to call up their own files at home, book medical

appointments and even renew prescriptions, which is where the efficiency comes in. In-person visits for routine prescription renewals are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guaranteed billings but often little or no health benefit. Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose government ID. If you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 licence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will start providing online access to a wide range of government services. Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, says a public consultation has shown most people are comfortable using a system they already trust for their banking. By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s population. Application forms converted to online access will include student loans, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registration and even criminal record checks. All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having customers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you. “You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this
can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actually saves them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said. “There will be conversion of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms. Those will be converted to online services.” It also means a decline in the number of government office jobs, and the potential for further outsourcing of services, as we have seen with Medical Services Plan administration and the back-office functions of BC Hydro. Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone.

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@ blackpress.ca
Last weekend, I decided to look up how much property tax is collected in the province of British Columbia. To my amazement, British Columbians paid a total of $7.968 billion dollars last year. Here are more facts: The taxes are paid by everyone in the province with an address, including small businesses, large businesses, manufacturers, utilities, and of course, residential property owners and apartment dwellers. The average property tax rate for B.C. businesses is 5.5 times higher than the tax rate for residential taxpayers – because business is expected to pay its share. Property taxes pay for schools, hospitals, and services provided by local government, with an emphasis on waste management and recycling. On top of this, MMBC is trying to collect another $84 million from the remaining handful of businesses, including Buckerfields, that weren’t lucky enough get the B.C. Chamber of Commerce/B.C. Government’s latest exemption. While MMBC’s target represents 1.2 per cent of all of property taxes collected last year, we the unlucky, comprise less than two one-hundredths of one percent of taxpayers. Anyone know how we are supposed to come up with that much money? Frankly, if the provincial government knew what it was doing, they would realize it’s not even possible. But they don’t, do they? Enough complaining. Here is my proposal to fix all this. First, let’s quickly recognize that economically viable recycling is inevitable because of the growth in global consumerism. As China’s 1.363 billion people discover and embrace North American style consumerism, China will buy every scrap of recycled paper, plastic, metal, wood and everything else that British Columbians throw away to supply the country’s manufacturing processes. India falls into this category. All B.C. has to do is stand by and watch while normal market forces propel recycling forward. In the not too distant future, global demand for our garbage will eat up everything we throw out and more, recycled or not. And the people who have custody of this resource will be making a lot of money. In the face of this, if the provincial government really wants to look good instead of just flogging somebody else’s failed concepts and pandering to people with bad attitudes towards B.C. business, here is a project that all British Columbians can be proud of. First, the province of British Columbia creates a 1% environmental surcharge on property taxes to be paid by everyone, businesses and consumers alike. Don’t everybody jump too quickly. That would cost me personally about $20 a year and
I would be proud to pay it. It would cost my company about $300 a year and we would be proud to pay it. By spreading the load evenly over the entire tax base, the surcharge would produce about $80 million a year, almost the exact same amount that MMBC is trying to gouge out, and it would be virtually unnoticeable to any single taxpayer. The legislation creating the surcharge would have a five year sunset clause so that at the end of five years, the surcharge would end. Why? If we can’t get the job done by spending a total of $400 million over five years, then we shouldn’t be attempting this program at all. The monies would go straight into the Consolidated Revenues fund of the province and would fall under the jurisdiction of the Office of the Auditor General, that is, full legislative and public oversight. We would be absolutely assured that the money wasn’t going sideways, unlike the situation with MMBC. A second bit of legislation would create a Regional Recycling Authority to distribute the monies to local governments. The authority would accept or deny local government applications for funding. Municipalities would have to compete for the funds. Only the best and most essential recycling projects would be funded. Unlike the situation with MMBC where one person is going around handing out money whether it is needed or not, the expenditures would be optimized in plain sight of taxpayers. Unlike the MMBC situation where three people with dubious corporate connections mysteriously showed up from Ontario to form the agency, the directors of the BC Recycling Authority would be British Columbians with bona fide recycling, local government and finance credentials as well as members of the public. And OK, the Minister of Environment can appoint them, but do it publicly, eh? The new Recycling Authority would also be under the jurisdiction of the provincial Auditor General so we would see independent evaluations of the results. No funny stuff, no wasted money, no overspending, no failure to produce the intended outcomes. Or we would know by the end of each year and we would demand that the situation be corrected. Finally, there would be a five year sunset clause on the Recycling Authority itself. By then, the job should be done. If not, the government of the day would have to introduce a new Bill into the legislature and we would at least have an opportunity to complain or get rid of it in a democratic manner. At the end of five years, we as a team would have produced recycling systems in B.C. that would rival anything worldwide. And the cost would have been shared fairly.

Top volunteers honoured Aldergrove Star
Every day, they give their time, talent, and energy to make the Township of Langley a great place to live and work in. On Thursday, April 3, they were recognized for all that they do, when Township of Langley Council held its annual Volunteer Appreciation Event. Hundreds of community members gathered at the Langley Events Centre as Langley’s dedicated volunteers were honoured with dinner, presentations, and entertainment. During the celebration, a hard-working individual, a high-achieving student, and a committed couple were presented with awards for their outstanding efforts. The Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award was presented to Karen Long. A long-time resident of Aldergrove, Karen Long is quietly dedicated to making a big difference in her community. In fact, there are very few activities or events that happen in Aldergrove that Karen hasn’t contributed to in some way. For many years, she has served on the executive of the Aldergrove Festival Days Society and the Aldergrove Agricultural Association, organizing fairs and parades to educate and entertain the community. A member of the Rotary Club of Aldergrove, she exemplifies the motto “Service About Self,” helping the group raise money for a women’s shelter, clean up and beautify downtown Aldergrove, raise funds for Langley Centennial Museum student programs, and partner with the Township of Langley Fire Department to install smoke detectors in the Aldergrove Mobile Home Park. An integral force behind the Aldergrove Christmas Parade, she can be found manning a kettle for the Salvation Army during the holidays. An advocate of Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services’ programs, she is also a huge part of the success of our local Walk for Memories, which has raised almost $100,000 for the Alzheimer Society. Karen is also a long-time member of the Aldergrove Legion who serves as chair of the branch’s internal auditing committee. She helps secure donations for community dinners for families at Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas, participates in an annual Terry Fox barbecue fundraiser, and works with Rotary to provide food and gifts for Aldergrove families that are struggling at Christmastime. The Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award is presented annually to recognize contributions that volunteers make to the community. It honours an individual’s outstanding dedication to the promotion of quality of life through creative, cultural, physical, or social pursuits, and to the enhancement of the Township of Langley’s community spirit. Eric Flowerdew was a school trustee, municipal councillor, and member of the Langley Hospital Board. As Parks and Recreation Commissioner, he was instrumental in establishing the initial

Langley Township’s top volunteer awards were presented April 3 to (from left) Cheryl MacIntosh and Glenn Howes, Hannah Beaton, and Karen Long. Parks and Recreation budget and in hiring Pete Swensson as the Township’s first Recreation Director. His commitment to volunteerism was unfailing, and in 1974 the Flowerdew family honoured his name with the award. Nominees for the 2013 Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award were Karen Long, Jim McGregor, Steve Trummler and Cheryl Young. The Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award was presented to Hannah Beaton. An accomplished track and field athlete, Hannah can usually be found in her running shoes – or supplying them to those in need. A Grade 12 student at Langley Fundamental Middle and Secondary School, Hannah created the “Step In Someone Else’s Shoes” program three years ago to provide inner city schools with footwear. A member of Student Council and a youth leader, she also established Family Sports Night to promote play and strengthen family ties. An athlete who shines in soccer, volleyball, and track and field, she holds a record with the Langley Mustangs for youth shot put, was named fifth in Canada for heptathlon and fourth for javelin, and holds several track and field records at her high school. Hannah has made the Langley Mustangs Top 10 in five events and was the recipient of the club’s Spirit Award, and was named Langley Fundamental’s Track and Field MVP from 2008 to 2013. A Leadership and Principal’s Award-winner for outstanding effort and work habits, Hannah has earned an “A” Honor Roll award each term. A youth leader at her church and a Recreation Leader with the Township of Langley, she has just returned from a humanitarian trip to Nicaragua with her Global Education Class. Hannah has won an athletic scholarship to Trinity Western University where she will be a member of the Track and Field Team and pursue a degree in nursing. The Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award is given to a Langley student in Grade 11 or 12, from one of the area’s secondary schools, in recognition of his or her ath-
letic, scholastic, and community efforts. Personal qualities such as leadership, work ethic, and initiative play a major role in the evaluation process. Pete Swensson was an internationally recognized athlete and photographer, and an outstanding member of the Langley community. The Township of Langley’s first Recreation Director, he was the originator of the Langley Walk. Swensson was committed to the overall development of youth, and this award is named in his honour. Nominees for the 2014 Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award were Georgie Antle of D.W. Poppy Secondary School, Hannah Beaton of Langley Fundamental Middle and Secondary School, Aidan Kits of Langley Christian School, Julianna Matson of Walnut Grove Secondary School, Brian Portner of R.E. Mountain Secondary School, Michael Pratt of Brookswood Secondary School, Devon Stam of Credo Christian High School and Amy Whitton of Aldergrove Community Secondary School. The John and Muriel Arnason Award was presented to Cheryl MacIntosh and Glenn Howes. On the water and on dry land, this Glen Valley couple makes incredible contributions to ensure that North Langley is a better and healthier place to live. For 12 years, the pair has been dedicated to the Fort Langley Canoe Club. Cheryl began as a voyageur paddler then became a leader and coach, encouraging the group to try dragon boat paddling. Interest grew and with Cheryl chairing the Board since 2009, the Club grew to more than 500 members. That meant more boats, docks, and storage space was needed. Glenn became the key person for getting the docks upgraded, leading working groups through planning, design, and physical labour. The couple also lends their leadership qualities to local environmental groups. A true team, Glenn is the chair of the Glen Valley Watershed Society and Cheryl was the Treasurer. Cheryl has also been secretary, treasurer, and chair of the Derby Reach/ Brae Island Parks Association. Glenn is one of the Association’s
most diligent members and turns out in all kinds of weather to pull weeds and conduct tours as part of the Association’s goal to promote conservation and education. Beyond running many meetings, the pair has opened up their home for work parties and lunches for events such as the annual Bird Count. They participate in Rivers Week, the Cranberry Festival, and the annual Brigade Days journey and arrival at the Fort Langley National Historic Site. Glenn and Cheryl help protect the environment by doing everything from planting trees and sampling and analyzing stream water to talking to neighbours about issues, and keep many kilometres of Glen Valley roads clean and collect numerous bags of garbage through the Township’s Adopt-A-Street program. The John and Muriel Arnason Award honours two people who are advocates of literacy, culture, and learning, and work together as a team to make the Township of Langley a better place. The award was created in memory of Muriel Arnason, the first woman to be elected to Township Council, and her husband, John. Muriel, who was made Freewoman of the Township in 2006, served on Council for 26 years, and was fully supported by her husband in her political pursuits, as well as in her initiatives to foster the arts, education, and literacy. Nominees for the 2013 John and Muriel Arnason Award were Cheryl MacIntosh and Glenn Howes, Michael Jackstien and Jamey Paterson and Jordan and Shelly Welch. “We are really fortunate in this community to have so many people willing to volunteer their time to make life better for others,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. “This event is a wonderful opportunity to thank those who give so much to Langley. Our community wouldn’t be the same without them.” Froese presented the awards along with co-emcee Meghan Cheung, a Grade 12 honour student from Brookswood Senior Secondary who has been a member of Langley Township’s Youth Advisory Council since 2011.

These thefts are not limited to the dark hours of the night so it’s best to be vigilant all the time, said Marks. “Please do everything you can to save yourself the time, money and inconvenience of theft from your vehicle. Just by parking in your driveway, you cut your chances of having your vehicle broken into by half. Really — you don’t want to give it away,� said Marks, adding that leaving loose change in a vehicle can be costly. Leaving money in the console

The power to stop the cycle of bullying is in the hands of those who know firsthand how damaging it can be, one anti-bullying advocate told a group of Langley children gathered at Langley Christian Middle and High School recently. “You guys are the ones who are going to make the world a better place,” said Carol Todd. Todd has been advocating for an end to bullying since her daughter, Amanda, took her own life in October 2012, after posting a video online explaining how she suffered at the hands of bullies. “You guys, as kids, are going to grow up to be the next set of adults,” said Todd. “We want to make sure that your kids and you – when you’re in your teenage (years) and your adulthood – that the world is a safer place for you.” Todd spoke to a group of attentive Langley children at the free Kidz ‘n Power Bullying Prevention seminar, the third bullying prevention session put on by Rahn’s Black Belt Academy in Langley. The program looks to empower kids with

the courage and confidence to recognize and protect themselves against bullying. Wearing a hockey jersey emblazoned with her daughter’s birthdate, Todd told the audience that one of the best ways to combat bullying is by focusing on spreading kindness and positivity. “We don’t want to give bullies the attention that they want, because it’s negative attention. We want to give the attention to people who are doing random acts of kindness or intentional acts of kindness,” she said. “It’s things like that that make the world a kinder place.” Todd passed out pink bracelets with Amanda’s name and the words “stay strong” printed beside a small snowflake. “Snowflakes aren’t alike, and they’re really delicate and they’re fragile,” Todd told the audience. “When you think about everybody that’s on this world, we’re all fragile, we’re all our own person.” “There’s really nobody like you in the whole wide world,” explained Todd, encouraging kids to be strong and own their individuality.

Carol Todd spoke to children and teens in Langley, urging them to be strong and kind and to make the world better. She also encouraged kids to stand up for themselves and others who are being bullied, recognizing when someone is treating them badly and removing themselves from that situation while confiding in a trusted adult. “We have to stay strong, we have to stand up and we have to be heard,” Todd said.
