Poppy’s side 3-0 in the Tuesday, Oct. 20 game at Aldergrove Athletic Park. Aldergrove Secondary has two away soccer games next week, at Brookswood school in Langley and G.W. Graham school in Chilliwack. Aldergrove is hoping for a playoff game or two at home after that, but this has not been determined yet.
All the pipe for the massive East Langley Water Supply Project has been installed, and water is flowing through some sections. But parts of it won’t be fully operational until January of next year, a report from the Township engineering division says. The $33.5 million project was originally supposed to be finished by late 2014, but problems with terrain, leaky pipes and other unexpected issues have seen the completion date moved back several times. An Oct. 1 unsigned memo to mayor and council says while water is flowing through the pipeline section that runs between Willoughby and Murrayville, “some work remains to address deficiencies” in the section that runs between Murrayville and East Langley/Aldergrove. Testing to detect and fix leaks is continuing on the pipeline between 236 Street and 240 Street on 52 Avenue, the memo states, and cleaning out an “accumulation of foreign debris” from the pipeline will take eight to 12 weeks. Leaks were first uncov-
ered during pressure testing of the line east of 248 Street. A July memo to council said the pipeline manufacturer “has recently advised of quality control issues necessitating replacement of some sections [of pipe].” The East Langley line is the biggest project ever undertaken by the Township’s engineering department, with 14 kilometres of one-metre diameter water main and a booster pump station connecting to the regional Metro Vancouver water system. Township planners expect the East Langley Water Supply will bring an end to the severe watering restrictions that east Langley residents and businesses have faced during summer months to avoid depleting the aquifers. The Aldergrove and Gloucester areas will continue to be served by the existing groundwater wells here but will no longer have to rely on the wells alone as the Metro water will supplement local supply needs. Work on the water pipeline got underway in May 2013. Despite the delays, staff say the project is on track to stay within its $33.5 million approved budget.

Tethering time limit ‘nearly impossible to enforce’ By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
More staff would have to be hired to enforce a time limit on tethering dogs outdoors in Langley Township, a report to council says. The Oct. 20 unsigned memo to mayor and council by the community development division warns an officer would have to stake out a suspected violation longer than the maximum allowed time in order to prove the limit was violated. “In order to effectively investigate complaints and be able to prove an offence, an animal control officer would be required to be on scene and observe the tethered dog for the duration of the allowed period to prove that a violation has taken place,” the report said. That makes time-based anti-tether regulations “nearly impossible to enforce, due to staff resources required and the practicality of evidence collection” the memo concluded. The memo said a survey of municipalities with no-tether regulations found enforcement action is rarely taken, with one unnamed municipality recording 54 complaints in 2014 without issuing a single ticket. As reported by the BC SPCA, only 19 out of 152 municipalities and two out of 27 regional districts set limits on tethering, but those
limits vary considerably, from a maximum tethered time of 23 hours a day in Whistler to one hour a day in Burnaby. The memo noted some municipalities don’t set a maximum time, but forbid leaving a tethered dog unattended. “The purpose of (that approach to) regulation was to reduce the risk of tethered dogs harming themselves by getting caught up in the the tether for extended period of times.” The issue was raised by an Aldergrove resident in June. Callie McHardy told council she was “surprised” to learn there was no anti-tether bylaw in Langley when she tried to get help for a dog near her home. “Just down the street, there’s a dog that’s always chained up,” McHardy told Township council. Some Langley dogs are left on a tether, unattended, for 24 hours a day, McHardy said. “They just live their lives on the end of chains.” Langley City reviewed the same issue last year and found tethering restrictions would be “extremely difficult to enforce” and “almost impossible to monitor,” said the report by Carolyn Mushata, manager of legislative services. Mushata said the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS)
receives one or two complaints a month about tethered or chained dogs in both the City and Township. Limiting the time a dog can be tethered would be “very difficult” to enforce unless it was banned entirely or only allowed when the owner is in attendance, LAPS predicted. The Mushata report warned restricting outdoor tethering “may lead to even worse confinement conditions within the interior of the home, making the situation almost impossible to address.” “Regulating confinement and tethering of dogs would be extremely difficult to enforce and is not recommended,” the report concluded. The City animal control law was left unchanged. It requires tethering of dogs, aggressive or not, “in such a manner to prevent the dog from leaving the property.” It does not set any restrictions on the time or method of tethering or size of the confinement area. But it does ban the use of choke chains around the neck and confinement of a dog in an enclosed space, including a vehicle, without “adequate ventilation.” The report to City council said provincial and federal laws forbid “unnecessary suffering” by animals, but “the legal test for these offences is high, so it is difficult to bring charges under the current legislation.”
Three days have been set aside for the trial of two alleged senior members of the 856 gang in connection with drug trafficking activities in Langley. But the trial, to take place in provincial court in Surrey, won’t happen until June 2016. Leonard Pelletier, 48, faces five counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and one count of willfully resisting or obstructing and officer. Jason Francis Wallace, 26, is charged with six counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. Neither man is in custody. In July 2014, Wallace and Pelletier were arrested and B.C.’s gang unit shut down a drug making facility at a mansion on an acreage in Langley. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit seized $400,000 worth of cocaine, meth, heroin, oxycontin and a large quantity of drug-making paraphernalia from a 10,000-square-foot home in the 4600 block of 236 Street. The rented home, which was cut up into apartments, housed a 20-tonne
press to make cocaine bricks, along with other illicit drugs and paraphernalia. Among the drugs, police seized 44 kg of super buffer, which is used to dilute cocaine so sellers can “double their profit.” The buffer was actually pig dewormer. The July seizure was one of the largest CFSEU has carried out and police believe this will put a big dent in the 856 gang’s business and operations. Charges against the two weren’t laid until June 2015. The 856 gang, named after the telephone prefix for Aldergrove, started a decade ago “as a bunch of young punks and thugs in Aldergrove doing street-level drug dealing,” said CFSEU Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton. But they have grown and continue to recruit new members from Aldergrove, he confirmed. They aren’t at the level of other gangs in the area like the Red Scorpions, but have become the dominant drug trafficking gang in the Yukon, Yellowknife, NWT, parts of Alberta and northern B.C. “They will muscle their way into a market that is kind of untapped and take it over,” said Houghton.
Aldergrove zoo sold By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
The Greater Vancouver Zoo has a new owner who has big plans for the 120-acre Aldergrove site. The zoo announced the sale in a press release Monday that did not identify the buyer. It said the new owner is originally from China but has been living in Metro Vancouver for the last 10 years. “Many years ago he began his career as an English teacher but for several years now, he has been a successful
entrepreneur with a passion for creating interesting and exciting places for people to have fun,” the statement said. The anonymous owner has hired an expert in eco-friendly zoo design, Bernard Harrison and Friends to develop a 20-year master plan for the whole facility. The zoo said Harrison and two other exhibit specialists from the U.S. visited the Greater Vancouver Zoo this summer. Greater Vancouver Zoo was called the Vancouver Game Farm when it first opened in 1970.

Reunion a ‘blast from the past’
Seasonal Local Produce
By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
Harvey Rempel and his friend Danny Kitsul have been talking about a reunion for years — something for the people who, like Rempel and Kitsul, went to school in the North Otter and Brown Road areas of Langley back in the 1950s and ’60s. “We all grew up on 240th and 56th,” Rempel said. “We all had to walk to school.” One day, Rempel says, Kitsul announced it was time to stop talking about it. Kitsul, owner of the Poppy Estate Public Golf Course on 248 Street near Fraser Highway, was willing to cater the informal lunchtime get-together. So the friends put the word out — Kitsul by email and text messaging, Rempel by more primitive means. “I’m still on the land line,” he said. More than 150 people showed up, packing the parking lot and filling the golf course restaurant. “Everybody phoned and said they were coming,” Rempel said. Some, like Rempel, an Aldergrove resident, hadn’t moved

Ruling shines spotlight on homelessness By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star

A leading municipal lawyer predicts cities and senior governments will be under increased pressure to house the homeless as a result of a new court ruling that they can’t be stopped from camping in parks overnight. Jonathan Baker says the B.C. Supreme Court decision that Abbotsford can’t evict the homeless from a municipal park has broad implications for other communities, which may see more camps spring up in public spaces. By making homeless tents a potential ongoing legal fixture in local parks, he said, the court has sent a signal that the problem can’t simply be covered up or chased away. “You can’t govern by shoving a problem from neighbourhood to neighbourhood or from city to city,” Baker said. “You can’t do it with environmental pollution and you can’t do it with mental health. That’s what this means.” He said the Abbotsford decision by Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson was “very balanced” in that it did not require permanent homeless camps to be established. Advocates there had demanded a designated tent city, with facilities including washrooms. It largely mirrors a 2008 B.C. Court of Appeal ruling on use of parks in Victoria. In both cases, courts have held that cities with insufficient shelter spaces for local homeless can’t enforce their bylaws that normally prohibit overnight camping in parks, although tents must come down during the day so parks

LETTERS Voting system distorts choices
Editor: Canada’s winner-take-all voting system has significantly distorted the will of Canada’s electors, handing an un-earned majority to one party. Today, we do not have the government that we voted for. Nationally, Liberals earned the votes of 39.5% of Canadian voters, yet the voting system handed them over 54.4% of the seats in the House of Commons as a result. This is a majority government… on only a minority of the vote. The desire for change was clearly evident in the results, but our winner-take-all system granted the Liberal Party many more seats than their vote merits, and shut out other voices. The First Past The Post voting system yielded the Trudeau Liberals a solid majority (elected or leading) of 184 seats, more than the 170 threshold for a majority. A number of experienced, long-time Members of Parliament were swept away with the Liberal landslide. A proportional voting system would have granted 134 seats to the Liberals (less than a majority), 108 seats to the Conservatives, 67 to the NDP, 16 to the Bloc and 12 to the Greens. Today we should have a minority government in place in Canada Regional distortions are also evident. The Bloc, with its geographically concentrated 4.7% of the vote gained 10 seats, but the Greens with diffuse support and 3.4% of the vote only achieved one seat. Last month, over 500 Canadian academics, including several Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada, 29 Canada Research Chairs and two Professors with the Order of Canada, called on all political parties to work together to bring in a fairer electoral system. It should no longer be acceptable to have a system that disenfranchises a third of the electorate, forces people to vote strategically, or distorts the will of voters. It’s time we modernized our dysfunctional democracy so that election results truly reflect they way electors vote.

Township appreciates input
Editor: On behalf of the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement, Township of Langley Council, and Township staff, I would like to thank everyone who came out to the three Public Engagement Open Houses and helped make them a success. These interactive, drop-in events were held on Tuesday, October 20 in Willoughby, Thursday, October 22 in Aldergrove, and Saturday, October 24 in Brookswood so that residents from throughout the municipality could express their views on how public engagement could be enhanced in our planning policies and processes. Close to 300 people participated in the Open Houses and we were pleased to see citizens making the time to share their thoughts and ideas on how to improve dialogue between the Township and its residents regarding community planning. When it comes to managing growth and planning our neighbourhoods, people have many different viewpoints, all of which are valuable, and we want to ensure everyone has a chance to be heard. Input collected from the Open Houses, along with other information and feedback received by the Committee over the past several months, will be used to form a new engagement policy, guidelines, and suggested tools for the planning process that will be presented to Council for consideration by the end of the year. Thank you again for all of your help and contributions. For more information on the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement, visit tol.ca/engagetol. Jack Froese, Township of Langley Mayor
‘Trash talk’ not worthy
Editor: “Justin hairdo… you can’t live on fairy tales and cotton candy” … hard to believe these comments were made by a longstanding M.P, who even suggested God is somehow a Conservative. It was my understanding that the role of the opposition was to cooperate in the work of government by providing reasoned debate, and support where there is a consensus of opinion. Mark Warawa has, by his comments, denied himself any chance of being taken seriously in Ottawa. I only hope he has the courage to apologize for his schoolyard rants. No, they wouldn’t be tolerated in a schoolyard. Tony Smith, Langley

enth year volunteering with the bureau in the sponsorship division. “Last year the generosity of this community in sponsorships was overwhelming, just amazing,” said Schaffer. In 2014, the Christmas Bureau helped out more than 800 families and 1,700 children. The tea started out as the Mayors’ Wives Tea fundraiser but now their daughters, Marilyn and Kirsten, are just as much a part of organizing the tea as they are, the moms said. “I’m seeing a lot of mothers and daughters coming to the tea together. What’s neat for us is my daughter helps out and now my granddaughter, who is 10, wanted to get involved and she is helping too,”

Langley residents will be able to get into the spirit of Christmas early, at the Thank You For Caring Tea — a fundraiser to benefit the Christmas Bureau. It takes place on Sunday, Nov. 22 at Cascades Casino and Resort. Now in its fourth year, the tea is hosted by the wives of Langley’s two mayors, Debbie Froese and Jean Schaffer, joined by their daughters Marilyn Morgan and Kirsten Charlesworth. The tea, which begins at 1 p.m. and continues until 4 p.m., can accommodate up to 500 people. Last year it sold out quickly. It’s the Christmas Bureau’s biggest fundraiser, said bureau coordinator Leigh Castron. Last year, the tea raised more than $30,000. “We are so grateful for this tea and all it brings to the bureau and families at Christmas,” said Castron. Because it has become such a big fundraiser, a solid crew of volunteers make the entire day go smoothly. As with other years, bureau cochair Jim McGregor will emcee the tea, with Steve ‘Elvis’ Elliott providing the entertainment. The Langley Community Music School will once again provide chamber music. Frosting Cupcakery will provide the delicious desserts. Finger sandwiches will also served and women are encouraged to dress up and wear fascinators or fancy hats. For Froese, it’s knowing the good the tea can do for the Christmas Bureau that makes all the effort worthwhile. “I love the awareness it brings of the Christmas Bureau and how many families can be helped out because of this event,” she said. Both Froese and Schaffer also volunteer at the bureau each year. “It’s humbling, watching the faces of the parents who are able to pick out what they want to give to their kids,” said Froese. Schaffer is going into her sev-

Top 10 Reasons to Support Locally Owned Businesses
4. Keeping Dollars in the Local Economy Compared to chain stores, locally owned businesses recycle a much larger share of their revenue back into the local economy, enriching the whole community.
“Independent Aldergrove businesses help give our community it’s one-of-a-kind personality while supporting our local economy.
5. Job and Wages Locally owned businesses create more jobs locally and, in some sectors, provide better wages and benefits than chains do.
Buy Local, Be Local.”
1. Local Character and Prosperity In an increasingly homogenized world, communities that preserve their one-of-a-kind businesses and distinctive character have an economic advantage. 2. Community Well-Being Locally owned businesses build strong communities by sustaining vibrant town centers, linking neighbors in a web of economic and social relationships, and contributing to local causes. 3. Local Decision-Making Local ownership ensures that important decisions are made locally by people who live in the community and who will feel the impacts of those decisions.
6. Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship fuels Aldergrove’s economic innovation and prosperity, and serves as a key means for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class. 7. Public Benefits and Costs Local stores in town centers require comparatively little infrastructure and make more efficient use of public services relative to big box stores and strip shopping malls. 8. Environmental Sustainability Local stores help to sustain vibrant, compact, walkable town centers-which in turn are essential to reducing sprawl, automobile use, habitat loss, and air and water pollution. 9. Competition A marketplace of tens of thousands of small businesses is the best way to ensure innovation and low prices over the long-term.
Rich Coleman M.L.A.
10. Product Diversity A multitude of small businesses, each selecting products based, not on a national sales plan, but on their own interests and the needs of their local customers, guarantees a much broader range of product choices.

❛❛ I have been owner operator of Extra Foods since June 2010. It has been my privilege to get to know so many of the customers who visit our store as a regular part of their grocery shopping experience. Getting to know the people of the community has provided me with feedback which we use to try and make your shop in our store a better one. One of the biggest changes in that time has been the PC Plus program. It is a great program where you get rewards based on your shopping and those rewards quickly turn into free groceries. Right now customers will notice that we are going through some transition in some of our sections as we are brought up to date with technology. This will lead to a better shopping experience in the long run with better on shelf consistency which we are looking forward to. ❜❜

Cranky’s journey began in 2002 in a 400sqft garage in rural Aldergrove. After a few years of growth it became obvious that a larger more central location was required. We moved into our current location: a renovated farmhouse in the downtown commercial district. Our small beginnings birthed an appreciation for every customer’s contribution to the life of the business. We continue to strive to provide quality service coupled with great products from reputable companies. We also have a great appreciation for the community that supports us and we try to give back where we can through the sponsorship of community events, supporting local fundraisers and providing mechanical support for local charity rides.

Potomak to skate for Canada at 4 Nations Cup in Sweden Aldergrove Star
Sarah Potomak will wear the Maple Leaf once again. Potomak was named to Canada’s national women’s team for the upcoming 4 Nations Cup. It will be held Nov. 4 to 8 in Sundsvall, Swe. The competition will feature Canada — the defending champion — as well as Finland, the United States and the host Swedish side. Potomak, who turns 18 in December, is in her freshman season with the University of Minnesota hockey program. The Aldergrove teen has represented Canada numerous times, including winning gold in 2014 and silver in 2015 at the U18 world championships. “We’re excited about the group chosen to represent Canada, and we’re looking forward to getting on the ice in Sweden
Sarah Potomak for the first time together as a team this season,” said Laura Schuler, the head coach of Canada’s national women’s team. “Our players have been working extremely hard, and this event is a fantastic opportunity for them to unite on the international stage as they aim to defend Canada’s gold medal.” The tournament will also act as an evaluation opportunity for the Canadian coaching staff as they get set to select a team for the 2016 IIHF women’s world championships in Kamloops in April.

Eileen
Vantage Way
April 1943 - October 17, 2015
7979 Vantage Way, Delta, V4G 1A6
Born in Gillingham UK, Eileen was the only child of Mick and Bea Horrigan; she died peacefully at the Hospice in White Rock, BC. She will be forever missed by her adoring husband of 50+ years, Herb, her children Michael, Claire and Vicky and her loving grandchildren Magnus, Felix, and Sophie. A true Renaissance woman gifted intellectually as well as in beauty and spirit. The first in her family and among few peers in the 1960s to receive a university degree, she attended the prestigious Rochester Grammar School and then Bedford College at London University, receiving a BA in Modern Languages and later an Adult-Teaching Certificate from Garnett College and MA in Education from SFU. A career path as varied as her many hairstyles: dedicated mother and gardener, translator, amateur journalist, farmer, beauty consultant, marketeer, Hollywood extra, political campaigner, and most of all, teacher. Eileen met Herb soon after arriving at London University, marrying him in 1965. As soulmates, lovers and best friends, they formed a lifelong partnership. They moved from London to Montreal, to Connecticut, to Vancouver, to a hobby farm in Aldergrove and retired to White Rock in 2003. She survived pancreatic Cancer for 4 years remaining brave, kind, compassionate and zestful for life. ~ We love you.
