Empty coal trains run here
Canada Day Fun at the Legion
By FRANK BUCHOLTZ Aldergrove Star

Colton Fisette, 5, had his face painted at the Aldergrove Legion’s Canada Day family party on the lawn, July 1. All kinds of games and food were shared by the guests.
Empty coal trains will be rumbling through rural Langley, north Aldergrove and into downtown Abbotsford this summer, due to construction in Washington state. Two or three trains per day, each more than two kilometres long, are making their way through Langley and Abbotsford on the lightly-used Southern Railway of B.C. tracks. Representatives of both Southern Railway (SRY), which owns the former interurban tracks through eastern Langley and Abbotsford, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) confirmed talks between the two companies began several weeks ago. A test run took place on Thursday, and full operations began on Monday. An empty BNSF coal train entered the west end of the SRY line at about 10 a.m. Monday, and was in the United States before 12 p.m. “The plan in place will be for BNSF to reroute empty coal traffic from Roberts Bank through Abbotsford down to Sumas,� BNSF spokesperson Gus Melonas said. )F TBJE UIF EFUPVS QMBO JT FYQFDUFE UP MBTU GPS EBZT “Safety is the number one priority,� he said. BNSF is upgrading tracks and replacing two bridges between the border and Burlington, Wash. The trains normally run south from Roberts Bank, through White Rock, and enter the United States at the Peace Arch border crossing. Melonas said the trains would be around two kilometres MPOH ĉ FZ BSF MJNJUFE UP B NBYJNVN PG LN I UISPVHI downtown Abbotsford, and double that in rural areas, according to J. Singh Biln, SRY’s director of community relations. Biln said the trains should be able to clear Abbotsford’s railroad crossings within the federally mandated five-minute time limit. Currently, SRY runs one daily train on a return trip through downtown Abbotsford. SEE: Page 3
Boil water advisory lifted Monday in Aldergrove Aldergrove Star
A precautionary boil water advisory that was issued by Fraser Health and the Township of Langley to residents and businesses in the Aldergrove area was lifted on Monday, July 7. Samples taken since the issuance of the precautionary boil water advisory on Friday, July 4, show that the system is clean and free of any traces of coliform. The advisory had been issued to
residents east of 260 Street and west of 276 Street, and north of 24 Avenue and south of 36 Avenue, after a low level of coliform bacteria was detected at a water sampling point in a local neighbourhood. According to Township of Langley Engineering Division staff, three samples were taken and only one showed a trace of the bacteria – about one unit in a million-unit sample. However, with the community’s health and safety as a top priority, the
boil water advisory was issued as a precaution. Two consecutive tests have since been taken and both the Township of Langley and the Fraser Health Authority are satisfied that the water is safe to drink and use without first being boiled. Residents and businesses are now encouraged to take the following steps: r 'MVTI BMM XBUFS VTJOH Ä— YUVSFT GPS at least 1 minute to ensure there is

Elsie Beggs A lifetime of contribution to her community Elsie Beggs is celebrating her 95th birthday this month, with many of those years filled with memories of her family’s contributions to Aldergrove. Born in Vancouver on July 12, 1919, Elsie (Newman) spent her youth in nearby Peardonville where her family had a farm. She came to Aldergrove in 1941 to work at the post office and it was here that she met Trevor Beggs, whom she married in 1947. It was in 1944, however, that Elsie became a founding charter member of the Royal Purple Lodge #38 Aldergrove, when her father, Aldergrove Elks Exalted Ruler Brother A. Newman saw the need for an auxiliary to the BPO Elks of Aldergrove. Elsie is the only surviving charter member today and was recently awarded a 70 year service pin by the Royal Purple. Over the years the Royal Purple Lodge supported numerous charities such as Save the Children Fund and also sponsored Christmas parties for the children in this community. They have also helped finance children’s playgrounds, assisted Family Services and Food Banks, sponsored scholarships and well baby clinics, among
many other community endeavors. During the war years Elsie was involved with the Red Cross, First Aid and as an airplane spotter. She was president of both the Aldergrove Elementary and High School PTAs, president of the United Church Foundation and United Church Women. Elsie also organized the Kinsmen Mother’s March here and was a fitness instructor with the ProRec program for several years. Trevor andd Elsie were members of the Aldergrove Agricultural Association and the Fair Board, and also assisted Pete Swensson with the Langley Walk for years. Trevor operated a hardware store in Aldergrove and managed CFVR Radio in Abbotsford, while Elsie remained with Canada Post until her retirement. Trevor (who passed away several years ago) and Elsie have three children, Dianne, Myrna and Murray, as well as two grandchildren, and Elsie is looking forward to her first great grandchild arriving later this year. Elsie continues to live independently in her community and remains active with the Royal Purple and Seniors’ Network in Aldergrove.
Katelynn, 10, hopes to knock cancer ‘out of park’ Aldergrove Star
A Langley girl’s softball family is determined to do everything they can to help the talented 10-year-old knock cancer right out of the park. North Langley Softball Devils 10-yearolds went into provincials with heavy hearts, missing one of their key players. Katelynn Bartlett, 10, loves playing softball, alongside her twin sister Allyson. Currently, the Shortreed Elementary student is in a fight for her life battling stage four cancer at B.C. Children’s Hospital. In early April, Katelynn complained of back pain. Since she plays competitive softball and is very active, her parents Carrie and Matt thought it may be a pulled muscle. But the pain became worse, sending her to the ER two weeks later. By the May long weekend, Katelynn was in Children’s and her parents were given the devastating news that their daughter had stage four Rhabdomyosaaroma, a rare childhood cancer. That was six weeks ago, and the Bartlett family’s world was turned upside down. “We were told she would require extreme chemo treatment for at least a year and may require a bone marrow transplant,” said her dad Matt. Her ball family, North Langley Softball, was

an 11-year-old daughter myself and really, this fundraiser was what any person would do when they find out a 10-year-old girl has cancer.” Matt said Katelynn’s oncologist is very optimistic, saying she is already showing signs of major improvement. But she’s been in terrible pain of late. The extreme chemo they put her on caused pancreatitis. “The road ahead will be long and hard with plenty of ups and downs,” said Matt. “But we will be here alongside Katelynn helping her win this fight.” Matt and Carrie will not go back to work for some time, due to the need to stay with her in hospital.Their bills don’t go away, though. A trust account has been set up in Matt Bartlett’s name at TD Canada Trust, account #9193-6102301. Katelynn also has an older brother, 18, besides her two sisters. “We know she will win this, she is a fighter and is very strong and along with the unbelievable support from the community and family she will succeed,” her father said. “Carrie and I would like to say people like Steve, North Langley Softball and Surrey Storm (Krysten’s softball association) have really restored our faith in people, and makes our whole family realize they are still a lot of good people out there.”

VICTORIA – A few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference. Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition) is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics. This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title. At this point the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma. McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.” “Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume. This quote was indeed
A brief history of treaty talks
representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist and divisive. The public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain. In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900. Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties. The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke. What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted. The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations.
Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed. The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.” Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection on aboriginal title lands. By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.” That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year. The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues. The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

By FRANK BUCHOLTZ Aldergrove Star
This summer, drivers in rural North Langley will get a taste of what Langley City drivers deal with on a daily basis — slow-moving coal trains which block crossings and cause traffic headaches. The Southern Railway of B.C. (SRY) line between 232 Street and the LangleyAbbotsford border winds through farmland, is located just south of Thunderbird Show Park and also services customers at Gloucester Industrial Park. There are numerous level crossings located along the line. Most do not have flashing lights or crossing gates, simply stop signs. The rail line generally sees one train a day in each direction. They usually run at night. It will now host at least three empty coal trains daily. They are coming from Roberts Bank, and travelling to the Canada-U.S. border at Sumas. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway, which hauls the loaded trains into Canada through White Rock, is doing some bridge repairs in the U.S. and needs to divert several trains a day. Using this underutilized trackage made sense to both railways. There isn’t likely to be any problems with coal dust or other contaminants from the cars, as the trains are empty. However, they are long and will move slowly, as the SRY track is not designed to handle large numbers of these heavy trains and speed limits are quite low. The main inconveniences will be to drivers, particularly during the day. Some of the trains will run late at night. I was up at the Sperling siding on 240 Street Monday morning to take a photo of
one of the first of these trains, and the traffic lineup on 72 Avenue was lengthy. Similar lineups may occur at the 248 Street crossing, as a new overpass on that street over Highway 1 opened several months ago. Backups will certainly take place on 56 Avenue, just east of the Langley-Abbotsford border, and at numerous crossings in other parts of Abbotsford, such as Bradner Road, Harris Road, Gladwin Road and in downtown Abbotsford. Thankfully, there is now an overpass at 232 Street, which already sees a large number of trains to and from the port. There is also an overpass on 264 Street, which goes back to the days when the tracks hosted interurban trams of the B.C. Electric Railway. The 272 Street crossing is north of the main part of Gloucester Industrial Park. The detours, which will last until September, should not cause too many ongoing problems for people living and travelling in the area. However, they are a reminder that where there is a rail line, there is the potential for trains at any time. People who walk along the tracks, or do not stop at the stop signs at the crossings, need to change their habits, or they may encounter a very serious problem. It is important to remember that trains cannot stop easily, given their weight and momentum. Sunday’s oneyear anniversary of the Lac Megantic tragedy reminds us that safety must be paramount. Rail traffic is on the upswing in many parts on North America, and Langley is no exception. This detour is noteworthy mainly because it wasn’t expected.

What do you expect when you call 9-1-1? Editor: When British Columbians call 9-1-1 to seek emergency medical assistance, they do so because they are experiencing a situation that requires an immediate response beyond their own capabilities. Firefighters, as the first responders in BC, are generally first on-scene and provide medical and scene management support until paramedics are able to respond. Last fall BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) made changes to how it allocates its resources by having ambulances respond to certain medical calls in a “routine or non-priority” manner as opposed to previous designation of “emergency or lights and sirens”. The BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) argued these changes contained in the Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) were necessary to improve response times for those patients with the most urgent medical needs. At the BCPFFA, we’re calling this move what it really is: the Ambulance Service’s scramble, as directed by the BCEHS, to manage a shortage of available ambulances and paramed-
ics. The BCPFFA is strongly opposed to these changes and supports the call for more ambulances and paramedics. As any emergency worker can tell you, once a call is downgraded to non-priority from emergency, the timeline to get to the incident changes. Our members have seen a number of cases where patients in distress (heavy bleeding, head injuries, spinal injuries and loss of consciousness) are being considered non-priority, leading to increasingly longer response times by ambulances, which we find simply unacceptable. Since these changes were quietly implemented last fall, firefighters across the province are noticing much longer wait times for paramedics to arrive at an incident. In an increasing number of cases the wait for an ambulance can be between 40 and 50 minutes longer than before the protocol changes. Is this what you expect when you call 9-1-1? One of the biggest obstacles professional firefighters encounter in serving the needs of their communi-
ties is the inability for simultaneous dispatch, where 9-1-1 operators can send what the system views as an appropriate level of response. Fire is dispatched only when certain criterion is met or after it’s determined that an ambulance is unavailable to respond as required. Critical minutes are lost in this process, and timely on-scene assessment and patient care is being compromised. In our view, operators should be sending on-duty trained firefighters to determine the level of patient care needed and granting them the authority to upgrade or downgrade the level of response required by ambulance. No matter how skilled 9-1-1 operators are, only trained responders on scene can effectively prioritize patient care for the best possible results. In Canada, the standards for emergency medical response are less than nine minutes in nine out of ten calls, or in the 90th percentile. BCAS chooses to report only average response times, which in our view is not a true reflection of how emergency responses should be disclosed.
The North American standards are much higher, at four to six minutes for most medical emergent calls. BCEHS targets 12 minutes, and meets that goal 52 percent of the time for the highest priority calls. Prior to the recent RAP changes, first responders attended 35 percent of medical calls. If the recent RAP changes are fully implemented, first responders will respond to approximately 25 percent of medical calls. By changing its response to 74 of 868 call types, including downgrading 39 to non-priority, BCEHS is condoning a delayed response to the emergent needs of your community. Is this acceptable to you and your loved ones when emergency medical care is required? We are urging the government through the BCEHS to return the medical response to what the Cain Report in 1989 envisioned of an ambulance service, which was a layered response, with firefighters being simultaneously dispatched to medical emergencies within their community’s jurisdiction. Wait times
are becoming dangerously long and putting undue stress on those in need of immediate care. British Columbia’s population growth and the aging Baby Boomer generation make it essential that this discussion, along with an informed and integrated systemic response to these challenges, shape the future of the emergency services system. BCPFFA wants to work with all stakeholders to ensure that British Columbians receive the care and attention required when they call 9-1-1 – and we’re not confident they’re getting it today. If you need to call 9-1-1 for yourself or someone else in need, how long are you prepared to wait for assistance? Are you okay with the system deciding that you don’t have a real emergency? Professional firefighters on duty in your community are committed to responding to your emergency when called upon and providing you with the service that you deserve. -Michael Hurley is president of the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighters Association (BCPFFA)
Save the planet? The politicking has begun, just remember the past Yeah, right... Editor: Have you ever considered the sanctimonious aggression of thinking we can save the planet? The late George Carlin, comedian, had a keen sense of perspective who could see the irony in the eco-saving mantra, so he included an intriguing satire of it in his act which was a big hit even with the younger college crowd. His stand-up act went something like this... “The arrogance of thinking we can save the Planet”. - The planet has been here for some 4.5 billion years. - We have only been engaged in heavy industry for about 200 years. - And we have the conceit to think that somehow we are a threat? - The planet has been through all kinds of things a lot worse than us humans. It’s been through: - billions of years of bombardment with comets, asteroids and meteors - continental drift, plate tectonics creating mountain ranges - volcanoes, volcanic ash - earthquakes, tidal waves - sun spots, solar flares, cosmic rays - magnetic reversal of the polls, magnetic storms - worldwide floods, hurricanes, tornadoes - worldwide wild-fires - recurring ice age cycles, global warming, global cooling - landslides, erosion, glacial till. And we think some plastic bags and some aluminum cans are going to make a difference? The planet is fine, it isn’t going anywhere, we are! The planet will be here for a long long time after we are gone. It will heal and cleans itself because that’s what it does, it’s a self-correcting system. R.I.P. George C. You could add a few things to his bags and cans, like extracting, transporting some minerals and oil or cutting some renewable trees, etc. is going to make a difference? Roland Seguin, Langley
Editor: RE: “Listening” is lacking... I am writing to respond to a news item recently appearing in the Langley Times regarding Council’s “listening” to the community. As it is apparent that the fall election campaign rhetoric has started, I would like to counter some comments from Mayor Froese regarding his intentions to seek re-election. To quote the article, …”Froese said council has shown it listens when people have concerns, citing
the Glen Valley land sale which initially caused a furor, but ended with a portion of municipal land being declared a park, and another portion sold to Trinity Western University, and set aside as a conservation area.” As a supporter and admirer of the Watchers of Langley Forest (WOLF), I find it extremely ironic and frankly distasteful to read that a new and more positive political “spin” has been given to the Township’s decision to remove all of the Glen Valley lands from
Opponents need to think about future Editor: I am appalled by the many frivolous law suits filed against the Northern Gateway pipeline project by various interest groups. If these groups had lived in the 1850 era when the Canadian Pacific Railway tunnels were chiselled through the Rocky Mountains, and when the Trans Canada Highway, the longest in the World today, was built neither would have seen the light of day. We would still be living in the horse and buggy days today. Think of how many things these resources are used for. Gasoline, oil and diesel for transportation, building materials, clothing and countless other items we use today. What if these conveniences were cut off to us even for a short while? Yet, how stable is the supply we get from Iraq? The Gateway Pipeline allows Canada to become an Energy Super Power by pumping an estimated 525,000 barrels of oil each day, establish self sufficiency, more jobs and vastly improved economic conditions. Developing natural resources is called progress. They are put there to be used wisely, not to be disregarded. Gertie Pool, Abbotsford
the chopping block. From my perspective, Council only chose to “listen to the people” when WOLF and their many community supporters brought the sale to the attention of the local, national and international media. This media assault finally forced the Township to seek a “compromise” which was still in play when the generous offer of the Blaauw family to purchase the Grey pit properties finally resolved the matter. At that time, I strongly suspect that WOLF’s intention was to re-
focus their efforts on the westerly properties that had been taken off the market and the McLellan Park designation was a capitulation more or less in light of the threat of more embarrassing lobbying by WOLF. In closing, I hope that this letter helps to set the record straight and I would strongly encourage voters to check the facts before November in order to decide who should be elected to steer the Township for the next four years. David Denyer, Langley
Children are our future Editor: The teachers’ strike and lockout should be of concern to everyone because the children are the future and should be encouraged to develop to their fullest potential. It is already difficult for teachers to give their best but with the new government demands it will be almost impossible. Other unions working within the government seem to win much larger settlements without much difficulty but teachers are sometimes even belittled through the media as glorified babysitters! Why is that? This government would like teachers to be an ‘essential service’
but they don’t have the same life or death responsibility that health care workers, firemen or police have. And, if class sizes are increased and too many children with learning disabilities are in the mix, school boards may have to ‘insist’ that those children are drugged with Ritalin. Disruptive children though can sometimes be the smartest, however, they won’t develop without help but governments don’t want free thinking children, just obedient unquestioning ones. And after graduation most of the special needs could be on medication for life; now who would that serve? Gary Huntbatch, Abbotsford

Critter Care hosts open house By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star
Every year, for two days only, Critter Care wildlife rehabilitation centre opens its gates to the public to let them get up close and personal with B.C.’s injured and orphaned wildlife. This year the open houses take place on Saturday, July 12 and 13 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The rest of the year, the animals can’t be viewed by the general public. From seven bear cubs to three river otters and baby skunks too, the centre is hopping busy, said Critter Care founder Gail Martin. The guided tours to see all the furry babies are always a big draw. This year, guests can see two baby beaver, a record 14 Bambi-like fawns to watching the funny antics of kits (baby raccoons).
Bucky the beaver welcomes visitors this weekend at Critter Care. That’s why Martin urges people to register for a tour first and that will provide you a time to return for your tour. Then people can
enjoy the live entertainment, fun with the firefighters and barbecue lunch. Lots of activities for kids like the Stilt Walker & Bucky “The Beaver” on Saturday and The Nylon Zoo on Sunday as well as face painting and the “Community Critters” all weekend. Paws-2-Dance will perform again. Hari Om Yoga will be there on Sunday for an inter-active Yoga demonstration. Bring your yoga mats. Admission is $2 per adult, kids are free. Critter Care is always happy to receive donations like dish cloths, receiving blankets, paper towels and toilet paper at the entrance. There is plenty of parking. Critter Care is at 481-216 Street in Campbell Valley Park.

Tips keep barbecuing safe Aldergrove Star
It’s that time of year again: time to tie on an apron, grab some steaks or burgers, invite family and friends over, and fire up the grill. While cooking and entertaining outdoors are some of the great joys that come with the warmer weather, precautions must be taken to ensure injuries are prevented and barbecuing is a safe activity. “Whether you are grilling with propane or charcoal, there are a number of steps you can take to make sure the cook, your guests, and your home are protected from fire and burns,� said Township of Langley public fire and life safety educator Krista Barton. Barbecue grills should only be used outdoors and placed well away from the home and deck railing, and kept out from the eaves and overhanging tree branches. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the grilling area and never leave a barbecue unattended. Keep your barbecue clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grill and in the trays below. Propane Grills: When using a propane grill, inspect it before using it for the first time each season and replace worn or rusted fittings, flex hoses, or burners. Ensure the burner ports inside the grill are free of rust, dust, dirt, or other debris. Always test for leaks at the cylinder connection before lighting the grill by brushing a mixture of 50% liquid soap and 50% water onto any connection or valve. Rising bubbles indicates a leak. Always make sure the gas grill lid is open before lighting it. If the flame goes out, turn the grill and gas off and wait for 15 minutes before re-lighting.

Gas price hardship drives more to conserve: Poll By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star
A new poll has found high gas prices are causing financial hardship for a majority of B.C. residents, many of whom say they’re driving less and trying alternatives like walking or transit more. The Insights West online survey in partnership with Black Press found two-thirds of respondents across the province have felt financial hardship from the recent rise in gas prices. Pump prices for regular gas climbed above $1.50 per litre in Metro Vancouver this week, up more than 20 per cent since early January. More Interior B.C. residents cited hardship – 74 per cent – even though they don’t pay the extra 17-cent-alitre gas tax charged by TransLink in
Metro Vancouver. Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said $1.50 per litre appears to be a psychological level where more people seek ways to cut their fuel consumption. “We’re seeing people saying it might be better to take the bus this afternoon, it might be better to walk or try to bike – essentially not to drive,” he said. Fifty-five per cent of poll respondents across B.C. said they’re already driving less than usual, while 27 per cent said they’re walking more and 19 per cent said they’re taking public transit more. (Twenty-six per cent in the Lower Mainland said they’re taking transit more.) While it’s helpful that gas prices tend to spike in spring and summer,
High gas prices drive more Metro Vancouver residents to walk. when the weather is more conducive to walking or biking than December, Canseco believes that’s coincidence. “They’re not doing it because it’s lovely outside, they’re doing it because they’re feeling the pain when they gas up.”

dates to note
The poll also uncovered refueling habits of those surveyed. It may not sound like a winning strategy, but a large number of respondents – 38 per cent – said they’ve refueled with less gas than usual lately, possibly in hopes of lower prices the next time. Just over half said they buy at gas stations that give them loyalty reward points, while far fewer respondents said they use a station close to home or work (20 per cent), or they buy at any station when they run low (10 per cent.) Sixteen per cent said they don’t own a car. The poll also found widespread belief that gas taxes are too high, that B.C. stations charge more than ones elsewhere in Canada, and 91 per cent

said they believe gas stations take advantage of motorists by raising prices just before a long weekend. “There’s a high number of people who look at the service stations as gougers,” Canseco said. Just four per cent said they’ve considered selling their vehicle and switching to a more fuel efficient one. Canseco said he believes that will change over time as electric car prices come down. The poll didn’t ask the more than 800 respondents if they regularly drive to the U.S. to refuel with cheaper gas. But Canseco said a previous poll on cross-border shopping habits showed gas savings is one of the top reasons why Lower Mainland residents frequently head south.

The Township of Langley currently utilizes three full-time and one seasonal roadside grass mowers for ditch mowing. This equipment has predetermined routes, or an assigned area to follow. Should the equipment be 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 brushwacking, 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 the open channel water systems into three categories: Class A ditches are fish bearing; 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 require notification only for work to take place. Therefore, how or when a ditch is cleaned will depend on its classification. We thank you for your understanding as we operate under these requirements. Engineering Division 604.532.7300

Whitecaps player surprises Langley United team Aldergrove Star
It was just another practice for the Langley United U11 Strikers last Thursday when out of nowhere, Vancouver Whitecaps player Ethan Sampson showed up for a surprise visit. The U11 boys were beside themselves. Ethan, the 20 year old South African defender, came to visit the boys to answer questions on life, training, childhood idols and of course World Cup favorites. Ethan then proceeded to participate in drills with the boys. “It was interesting to see how quickly the boys picked up on Ethan’s technical ability to defend” said Langley United coach Adam Woelders. “Right away you can see their adjustments in technique just by watching Ethan.”
Woelders took a step back to watch Ethan lead by example. As the practice progressed, Ethan was “oooohing” and “awwwwwing” the kids and parents with his ball mastery. After 1v1 and 2v2 drills, Ethan participated in a scrimmage with the coaches and Strikers. “It was really cool to see a real professional player,” said striker Lucas Woelders. “Some of the stuff he said was really interesting. Like he said you need to play every game and practice like it was your last because you never know who is watching you. It was also fun to play with a real professional and to experience how good you need to be.” After the practice Ethan signed autographs on jerseys, shoes, and cards.
Thiessen round one winner in junior golf tournament Aldergrove Star
Mitchell Thiessen had the lowest score Tuesday in the opening round of the Optimist Fred Wellsby Junior Divot golf tournament. Competing in the 13-15 year old division, Thiessen teed off at Chilliwack’s Kinkora Golf Course,
ripping through the par-56 setup in 60 strokes. That was one better than Mission native Devin Cutforth. Kyle Claggett (Mission) and Jake DeWaal (Aldergrove) tied for third with matching 63s. Mission’s Brian Dale topped the
10-12 year old division with a 12 over par 68, two strokes better than Abbotsford’s Sher Sidhu. Another Abbotsford native, Tyson Dyck, was third (72), with Chilliwack’s Trei Lindstrom (83) fourth. Chilliwackians swept the nine and under division.
Adam Knodel was first at 93, followed by Adam Weberg at 105 and Lucas Feaver at 115. The tournament’s second round was played Thursday at Abbotsford’s Fraser Glen Golf Course. Round three was Monday at Chilliwack’s Cheam Mountain Golf Course.
450 Athletes and 83 Coaches from the Fraser Valley (Zone 3) will be at the Nanaimo 2014 BC Summer Games July 17- 20.
GOOD LUCK !
Round four was Tuesday at the Cultus Lake Golf Course and round five was Wednesday at Abbotsford’s Valley Golf Course. The championship tournament, which Thiessen has now qualified for, will see a field of 20 golfers tee off Thursday at the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club.

Fraser Valley FC turns season around, off to nationals Aldergrove Star
When the season began with a pair of losses for Fraser Valley FC’s U14 girls team, things did not look promising. “We did have our ups and downs and we weren’t playing our greatest soccer in the beginning,” said Fraser Valley coach Niko Marcina. The team would turn things around with just one loss in their final 10 regular season games (7-1-2) to place third in the B.C. Soccer Premier League. But Marcina admits it wasn’t until about the six or seven-game mark of the season that his troops really showed what they were capable of. “The season was off to a shaky start, and we did have our ups and downs and weren’t playing our greatest soccer in the beginning,” he said. “(But then) they really started to connect and we started playing as a team, quality possession-style soccer, and from there it was a turning point. “We wouldn’t just be beating teams, we would be out-possessing and out-playing teams.” Marcina said both

The phenomenal result the coach was referring to was a 3-2 victory over top-ranked Mountain United FC in the finals of the Provincial Premier Cup.

The game was played at McLeod Athletic Park with the U13, U14, U16 and U18 girls finals on June 29. The day before saw the boys finals in those same age groups, also at McLeod Athletic Park. This was the third time Fraser Valley FC — which is made up of players from Langley FC, Aldergrove Youth Soccer, Abbotsford’s Magnuson Ford Mariners FC and Chilliwack FC — had played Mountain United, with the Valley team managing a loss and a

draw in the first two contests. The championship final was a back and forth affair with quality chances for both sides, Marcina said. Mountain was ahead 1-0 at the half before Nikki Gregory netted the equalizer 15 minutes into the second half. With 10 minutes to play, Mountain forged ahead once again, but Fraser Valley drew a penalty kick with five minutes remaining and Sabrina Anderson tied the score at two. And
then during injury time, Lauren Sylvan was able to break in behind the Mountain defence and struck for what turned out to be the winning goal in the 3-2 victory. “The Mountain girls have been together for numerous years, and hands down, they are a very, very good team, fantastic team, they play very good soccer, so being able to come out with a victory — especially when it is something as big as a Provincial Cup — is a tremendous feat,” Marcina said.
Nearly half of the 16-player team is made up of girls from Langley FC and with this being Marcina’s first year with the squad, he credited MacEwen in helping him out. “He played a huge part in bringing the team together and was a key component,” Marcina said. The win also qualifies Fraser Valley for the national championships this October in Prince Edward Island. The team is made up of Hannah Miller, Leah
Evans, Katie MacEwen, Sabrina Anderson, Mackenzie Silbernagel, Amy De Boer, Lauren Jodrey, Jasmine Mangat, Vanita Bhullar, Jessica Hunt, Lauren Sylvan, Bonnie Whitford, Nikki Gregory, Grace Stanley, Katie Ward and Danika Unger. In related news, the Aldergrove Ambush U17 girls won the BC Soccer Provincial Championship in Chilliwack on the weekend. Nelson’s U17 squad put up a great fight, but ended up losing 2-1 to the Ambush.

Summer cycling safety advice from Langley RCMP Aldergrove Star
Nice summer weather is finally here to stay and with this in mind, Langley RCMP would like to offer some tips to motorists and cyclists in an effort to keep everyone safe on the roadways. Sadly, nearly 7,500 cyclists are seriously injured every year and for the most part, these injuries are preventable.
Here are just a few things to keep in mind: MOTORISTS: - Cyclists need a meter on either side of them as a safety zone. Do not pass too close. If possible, change lanes to pass - Wet weather conditions affect your ability to see other road users, especially cyclists. Be sure to give cyclists plenty of room on wet roads, slow
down and ensure your windshield wipers are in good condition. - Plan turns and lane changes well in advance and be aware of cyclists. - Never use your horn, unless ABSOLUTELY necessary, when passing a cyclist - Check for cyclists prior to left or right turns. - Keep at least a 3 - 4 sec-
ond following distance to a cyclist - Be aware of bicycle paths - When opening your door, be on the lookout for cyclists and pedestrians. Always mirror and shoulder check prior to opening your door. CYCLISTS: - Be on the lookout for vehicles that may turn wide at intersections

Tireless volunteers honoured as Seniors of Year By BRENDA ANDERSON Aldergrove Star
Langley’s Seniors of the Year for 2014 are shining examples of what it means to commit to a cause, and then stick with it for the long-term. Peggy Schafer and Don Kelly have each been serving the community in their respective volunteer roles for well over a decade, and neither shows signs of slowing anytime soon. Schafer, 90, has been a volunteer with Langley Meals on Wheels for 35 years and has been active in her church community at Christian Life Assembly for the past 40 years. “I was always a stay-at-home mom,” said Schafer, who was “honoured, of course,” by the nomination. “I started volunteering because I liked to help people. I just like doing it.” Schafer delivers Meals on Wheels once per week. “You’re giving them a service that, in some cases, allows them to stay in their home,” she said. “A couple of times I’ve been able to help people with medical problems,” she added. During one visit to a client’s home, Schafer discovered the man was having a stroke. She called for help and waited with him until it arrived. “I just can’t go and sit. I like to get involved,” she said. Sharon Reeder, who volunteers with Schafer at Meals on Wheels, nominated her colleague for the hon-

Don Kelly and Peggy Schafer are Langley’s Seniors of the Year 2014. our and praised the senior for her positive outlook. “She has such an amazing and upbeat attitude and she is always smiling. “I really look forward to seeing her every Wednesday,” wrote Reeder. In a letter supporting the nomination, Bill Ashbee, Care Ministries Pastor at CLA, described Schafer as “the Energizer Bunny of Christian Life Assembly.” Among the volunteer roles she has filled at the church over the past four decades are teaching Sunday school, caring for shut-ins, visiting people in hospital, leading weekly prayer meetings, ushering, fundraising and hosting a women’s group in her home. “Peggy is the quintessence of what it means to be a Christian: always ready to serve and brighten anyone’s
day,” wrote Ashbee. Her children, Ruth Johnson, Gary Schafer and Ken Schafer, also weighed in, with a long list of the volunteer work carried out by their mother since the family moved to Langley in 1974. In addition to Meals on Wheels and the roles she has fulfilled at CLA over the years, Schafer has served as a leader in Pioneer Girls, score keeper for the bowling and baseball teams, camp counsellor, and “awesome craftmaker.” “Though we look to this Godly woman and the impact on our lives and others’ in Langley, her influence reaches far beyond Langley. “She truly loves people, sees the best in them and encourages them in practical and inspirational ways,” her children wrote.
For Don Kelly’s part, the 71-yearold Senior of the Year, who celebrates a birthday this month, was stunned to learn he’d been nominated for the honour. “I felt, no way would I ever win. I was quite speechless — I know it’s cliché,” he said. Kelly was nominated by Leigh Castron, co-coordinator of the Langley Christmas Bureau, where he has volunteered for the past 14 years. “Don (works) every day for the three months of the CB season, setting up the office and toy depot, picking up toys, arranging drivers and obtaining material to build the Christmas Bureau float for the parade,” wrote Castron in her nomination letter. “Don and his pickup are never far away and he is keen to help out in the community,” Castron added. “I’ve never heard him say no.” “It’s so gratifying to see the community coming together to support a cause,” said Kelly of his involvement with the Christmas Bureau. He recalled a particular trip to Mountain Secondary to pick up donations from a group of high school students. The load of toys and other donated gifts filled his entire truck bed and most of the pickup’s cab. “I was afraid I would get a ticket (on the return drive) because I could only see one mirror,” he said. “It was so gratifying, so nice to see the generosity of people.”
Kelly has also spent four years as organizer and committee member for Langley Crime Watch, as well as volunteering as an usher with the Langley Chiefs hockey team and, later, for the Rivermen. “It gives me something to do. And when you look at all these events, to attend costs money. When you volunteer, you get in for free,” he said with a laugh. “I’ve got to know the seniors who attend the games. It’s like ‘old-home week.’ “It becomes a real outing — to me, it isn’t work.” Kelly also helped out at the recent Girls Fly Too event at the Langley airport, assisting with registration and ensuring the girls got to the appropriate aircraft. “That was exciting,” he said of the event, which set a world record back in March. Kelly said he was blown away by the generosity of the people who organized the event and of those who donated flying time and fuel to get as many girls up in the air as possible over the two days of the event. “It was a happy time and I was proud to be part of it.” The 2014 Seniors of the Year were introduced to the community at the opening ceremonies of Seniors Week at the Langley Seniors Centre. They were honoured at the Seniors of the Year luncheon at the Langley Seniors Centre, on Wednesday, June 4.
