Aldergrove Totems Off To Provincials!

Township mulls 1.95% tax hike By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

There were complaints that Langley Township council isn’t getting enough say over financial decisionmaking, following a staff presentation about the draft 2016 operating budget at the Monday afternoon (Nov. 2) meeting of council. As a result, a majority of council voted to schedule a special all-day session for the next Monday (Nov. 9) to fine-tune the budget details. The meeting, held in council chambers, was open to the public. Councillor Michelle Sparrow was the most outspoken critic, saying consideration of the budget had become a “watered down” process where mayor and council don’t get enough time to conduct a detailed review of municipal spending before they vote on the budget. “I just really feel that council has been removed from the process,” Sparrow said. Sparrow said the budget documents for council consideration contained less information about municipal spending than they did last year. “It just doesn’t feel right (to make a decision based on less information),” Sparrow said. Sparrow said later that council has yet to set priorities for the year ahead and should not be doing that “in

isolation of our budget process.” Councillor Charlie Fox said he wanted time to take the budget home and digest the details. Councillor Kim Richter said the 66-page slideshow presentation to council Monday afternoon amounted to an “info dump” because councillors were not allowed to ask questions until it was finished. “This should be council’s budget, not staff ’s budget,” Richter said. “Because we’re the ones who take the hit.” Mayor Jack Froese said council has the ability to make changes to the draft budget, adding councillors received their budget documents the week before the meeting. The draft 2016 operating budget proposes a 1.95 per cent increase in municipal taxes, or about $32 more a year for an average single family house worth $514,000. It includes increases in spending for roadwork and two additional RCMP officers. The staff presentation quoted B.C. government statistics showing the Township municipal tax burden is near the bottom of 18 Metro municipalities at number 15, less than Maple Ridge, Abbotsford and Surrey and above Langley City, Pitt Meadows and Chilliwack tax bills.

Harry Hunt remembered By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

Harry Hunt, a respected and long-serving member of the Aldergrove community, passed away Saturday evening, Nov. 7. Harry, 75, had been fighting a very difficult battle with cancer for the past couple of years, after losing his beloved wife Betty to cancer two years ago. He had gone into Surrey hospital a week ago for another round of surgery but doctors discovered that the cancer had spread and was inoperable. Harry had briefly come back to his Aldergrove home and was pleased to see his children, Laura and Bob, were securely settled into their homes on the Hunt ART BANDENIEKS PHOTO family farm. However, his condiHarry Hunt was the recipient of numerous service awards in the community tion quickly worsened and he was and was humbled by the community support at the Harry Hunt appreciation transported to Langley Memorial Hospital for palliative care. He sucnight held at the standing-room-only Aldergrove Arena two years ago.

cumbed at 6:26 p.m. on Saturday, surrounded by his family. Laura told The Star that condolences having been pouring in from the Aldergrove community and that the many kind words are appreciated by the family. She said arrangements are being made for a memorial service before he is interred alongside his late wife Betty. Harry and Betty first met at Camp Luther in Hatzic in their youth and were newlyweds when they settled on an Aldergrove acreage in the late ‘60s. Here the couple worked on their hog farm and Harry also worked as a bricklayer, while they raised their family and became deeply involved in their community. Harry had played hockey and rugby in his youth in Vancouver and took this interest in sports fur-

ther as he became a highly regarded coach and supporter of youth sports in Aldergrove. He had many other interests which he pursued in service of his community, from service clubs to the arts and politics. When the western Canadian hog market collapsed in the 1980s Harry and Betty were able to save their acreage from creditors through hard work and the support of many friends here. The couple also began working as school custodians, jobs which they held until their retirements. Harry has also become wellknown for his photo contributions to The Star over more than 25 years. He first pursued sports photography as a natural interest, but expanded his portfolio to include landscapes, portraits and other photos for The Star.

Langley man joins effort to end first-past-the-post voting By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

Timothy Jones taps a finger on a hand-drawn chart of the federal election results that shows winner Mark Warawa collected less than half the votes that were cast in the LangleyAldergrove riding. Warawa, the incumbent Conservative MP, was elected with 45.5 per cent, more than enough under the current first-past-the-post system that elects whoever gets the most votes. Jones, a Fort Langley resident who is a member of Fair Vote Canada, argues more than half the voters in the riding were left out in

the cold. The 36.5 per cent who voted for the Liberal, the 12.8 per cent who voted NDP, 4.4 per cent who voted Green and the 0.9 per cent who voted Libertarian (numbers have been rounded) won’t have their views represented, he says. “They don’t actually succeed in their votes,” Jones says. “You get a distortionary outcome.” The national results are just as distorted, he says, with the Liberals forming a majority with 39.5 per cent of the vote netting them 54.5 per cent of the seats in parliament. Under proportional representation, Jones says the results would

have reflected the percentages and the Liberals would have formed a minority government that would have had to consult with the other parties to stay in power. Jones wants the Trudeau government to honour its election pledge to introduce some form of proportional representation, where a majority of votes is not wasted just because people didn’t back the winner. “They (voters) can point to someone in parliament that they helped elect,” says Jones. Fair Vote Canada Executive Director Kelly Carmichael has called for creation of a “multi-partisan task force bringing together pro-reform

citizens and experts” to design a new voting system. “This election was a referendum on the last false-majority government,” Carmichael says. “(Canadians) coalesced their votes around a promise to end firstpast-the-post voting and an opportunity to have a truly democratic voting system that will make all our votes count,” Carmichael adds. Fair Vote Canada describes itself as a grassroots organization representing over 60,000 Canadians. It has a website, fairvote.ca. Timothy Jones, who wants to establish a Fort Langley chapter of Fair Vote Canada, can be contacted at tjjones4@telus.net.

Representation guaranteed for farmers on Township committee By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

Concerns that farmers could lose influence under a new Township committee structure helped Councillor David Davis successfully lobby for a quota system Monday. Davis convinced a majority of council to guarantee the new agricultural advisory and economic enhancement committee will have four farmers, four businessmen and one youth representative on the nine-member body. Owing to a shortage of volunteers,

council decided in September to reduce the number of advisory committees that council consults from eight to four. Part of the reorganization merged the agricultural and economic committees, a move Davis feared could see business people “overpowering” the body. Requiring a 50-50 split between farmers and business people would ensue balanced representation, Davis said. Mayor Froese opposed the proposal, calling it too restrictive.

“Why is agriculture singled out here, what about other industries?” Froese said. Councillors Blair Whitmarsh and Angie Quaale also balked at the proposal. “Is not agriculture business?” Whitmarsh asked. “I’m not sure this is a necessary step” said Quaale, adding, “I don’t think we need to draw lines between the two.” After some back and forth about how to define farmers separately from business people, councillor Michelle Sparrow suggested the terms of refer-

ence already used by the two separate economic and agricultural committees to select appropriate members would be a logical choice. Following that, council backed the Davis plan by a five-to-three vote (Councillor Charlie Fox was on holidays). The decision to overhaul the committee structure was made after a report to council said many vacancies remained unfilled several months after the Township began advertising in the fall of 2014, and some positions were not filled until March.

At the end of 2015, there will be four Council Advisory Committees: Agriculture Advisory and Economic Enhancement Committee (AAEEC), Heritage Advisory Committee (HAC), Recreation, Culture and Parks Advisory Committee (RCPAC), and Seniors Advisory Committee (SAC). Youth community members will be added to each of the four committees and public safety issues will be addressed by the Council Priorities Committee, which is separate from the advisory committees.

Editor: Dear Mayor and Council, I was very impressed, in a good way, with the feedback from the Mayor’s Committee on Public Engagement. When I attended the open house I was truly pessimistic, due to past experience, on whether any of my comments or those of others would be listened to and acknowledged. I just read the draft feedback and felt that everyone’s comments were acknowledged. I would like to say a big thank you for allowing all that participated to be heard. Of course, I will be watching to see if these acknowledgements will be acted upon in the future. I do have some hope though. The new cabinet in Ottawa is half women, is representative of all provinces and contains people from all walks of life. The environment is set for a new Canada where the “old cliques” are gone.

Pool society speaks out on Township plans Joanne Nicolato of the Aldergrove Recreation and Pool Society brought a delegation Monday night, Nov. 2 to the Township of Langley Council meeting. The following is the text of their presentation. Good evening Your Worship and Council members: Thank you for allowing us to speak to you tonight regarding the Aldergrove Recreation Centre. On Wednesday, June 17, the Township of Langley announced the plans for the new Aldergrove recreation centre. These plans are very exciting for Aldergrove’s future with which we hope can bring new life and vitalization to our community. However, after hearing that the pool, while being heated 12 months a year, was an outdoor pool, we were greatly disappointed. After the initial shock, this society as well as community members were told by several councillors and staff that the foundations for a future indoor pool would be built into this centre. Based on this information our society and the community supported these plans with the understanding that these plans would be in place on completion of this recreation centre. Aldergrove has made it clear over the past 20-plus years that our community needs an indoor pool to serve all of its residents, but we are unclear of what the current status of the pool is. With comments from the community stating that the pool would not be used in the wet and cold winter months, our

society fears that this pool will then be mandated as a summer seasonal pool only. There have been conflicting statements from Township staff and Council about the way the pool will be covered. Terms of references used to describe how the pool will be covered include; “year round,” “covered,” “enclosed,” “foundations provided now to support an indoor pool at a later date,” as well as “never

Joanne Nicolato will it be indoors.” We are asking council and staff to clarify what indoor means to them so that the community can be on the same page as they are. Covered is not indoor. While we are not asking to go back to the design phase, we are asking council and staff to be very clear on what will be implemented as an indoor pool option for the future. Having proper foundations, electrical systems and space for future mechanical and HVAC systems to support a fully enclosed indoor pool is what this community needs and will support. A good compromise would be six months of the year as fully indoor, and the warmer six months of the

year as fully outdoor. Unfortunately, some of the community has told this society that they are not willing to help fundraise any funds for this centre as the pool is still an outdoor pool, especially if there is never any intent on making it indoor in the future. With all the site preparation work completed and the finalization of the building plans to be implemented very soon, our community will have no further say in the design of the pool. Therefore, we ask council and staff to provide the following: 1) We want very clear clarification from staff and council, on what does indoor means to them for this pool, so that it matches what the community needs; 2) Plans that meet the needs of the community for the present as well as the future; 3) That the pool will be built with the necessary foundations and room for electrical and HVAC systems now, so that the transition to an indoor pool at a later date is less costly in the future. The Pool Society would like staff and council to release the final building and pool design so the public can see exactly what facilities, or lack of, is being provided to the community. We ask that this is done in a public forum with a public report to be released from staff, and all decisions relating to the pool/facility are also made in open council meetings wherever possible. This is in hopes that the citizens of Aldergrove are properly informed about the final facility that is being provided.

Editor: One of the things I love about living in the greater Langley community is the commitment to local initiatives that I see all around town. Just last month, I visited the farmers market; it was abuzz with locals supporting locals. Marvelous. I am asking you to support another local initiative, a drive to raise $50,000 for Langley Memorial Hospital. Doctors and staff at the hospital have itemized a list of muchneeded medical equipment. Will you help give our doctors and nurses the tools they need to better respond to our families and our growing community? When you respond with yes and a gift, you will help purchase equipment that will be at work behind virtually every curtain in every department in the hospital. Though I wish I didn’t, I know something about being behind the sky-blue curtain at Langley Memorial Hospital. I have journeyed with my husband, Brian, through his battle with prostate cancer. I was there when we almost lost our grandson Jackson. He was only three months old, just a wee one, when he contracted a virus that caused bronchitis and pneumonia. I have also been the one in the wheelchair being rushed down the hall to the Emergency Department with atrial fibrillation, and then there were the times I had my knee replacement surgeries. All of these incidents have ended well. Very well. I have the highest Deanna Horn and Dr. Chan at LMH respect for the medical teams at Langley Memorial Hospital. We are truly fortunate to have exceptional health care in our community. We are also fortunate to live in a community that is willing to contribute to uphold an exceptional level of care. Donor-funded equipment has been at work, to some degree, at Langley Memorial Hospital since the day the hospital opened its doors. Today, new, more-advanced technologies have emerged, and professionals like our doctors and nurses need to have access to such tools in order to continue being able to deliver stellar results for individuals and families like ours – and yours. Now it’s up to each of us. Our local hospital needs us and we need it. I encourage you to support local initiatives. What can be better for us to buy farm-fresh eggs from local producers and carrots that have grown in local soil? Let’s also continue to include our hospital in our ongoing commitment to support local initiatives. Let’s keep Langley Memorial Hospital well equipped to better respond to our families and our growing community. The items on the equipment list will only be purchased when you and I give. Please make a healthy donation. Deanna Horn, Grateful patient and LMHF Board Chair

public notices New Construction Noise Bylaw In Effect Township of Langley Council has adopted a new noise bylaw which includes significant changes to construction activity times. Construction activity and operation of construction equipment is permitted to occur only between the hours of: • Monday to Friday • Saturday

7am to 8pm 9am to 5pm

Noise from construction activity or noise from construction equipment is NOT PERMITTED on Sundays or statutory holidays. Statutory holidays include any and all holidays prescribed by provincial legislation. Contractors are also required to install a construction noise sign before building permits are issued for projects where the construction value exceeds $500,000. For copies of the bylaw, visit tol.ca/noisebylaw. For exemption applications, notification letters, and construction noise sign information, contact: Permit, Licence & Inspection Services Department 604.533.6018

Flooding: Preventative Maintenance While Township crews routinely inspect culvert trash racks and storm systems to make sure they are functioning efficiently, conditions can change rapidly during storm season. You can do your part to reduce flooding risks by clearing nearby curbs and catch basins of leaves and debris, especially during heavy rain. Please do not rake leaves from your property or boulevard onto the street or into open ditches. Instead, collect and compost leaves on site or bag them for future pick-up.

Giant-killer Totems off to soccer provincials By STUART CROWLEY Aldergrove Star

The Aldergrove Secondary school (ACSS) Totems senior boys’ soccer team captured a berth at the provincial championships and earned a chance at the Fraser Valley banner this past week with a pair of gutsy wins. Entering the Fraser Valley Championships as the seventh out of eight seeds, the Totems travelled to second-ranked Pitt Meadows Secondary on Tuesday to face the Marauders. Anchored by the central midfield trio of Alex Jang, Simone Intermite and co-captain Ryan Schmunk, the Totems opted to put defence first. They denied Pitt Meadows possession for much of the first half and entered the break tied 0-0. The beginning of the second half, however, saw a rare Totems’ defensive lapse. A Pitt Meadows striker snuck in to the penalty area unmarked, and he was able to slide the ball past the onrushing Tavares Demelo to open the scoring. ACSS did not panic, and the chances for the Totems began to pile up. A foul just inside the attacking half gave Japan’s Kohsuke Tsutsui the opportunity to float a free kick

into the Marauders penalty area. A short game of pinball ensued, with co-captain Koh Ota finally bulging the twine with an emphatic finish. The Totems continued to build pressure and were rewarded with another free kick, this time deeper in Marauder’s territory and near the sideline. ACSS flooded the penalty area with players eager to get their heads on the expected cross, but Ota had other ideas. A precision strike curled just inside the far post, eluded the Pitt Meadows keeper, and put the Totems ahead 2-1. A number of key saves from Demelo and stalwart defending from Koh Yamada, Daniel Livingstone, Jimmy Zong, and Shion Yamamoto would carry the Totems through the final minutes to victory, and a date with number three seed Burnsview Secondary Griffins in Delta. Thursday’s Fraser Valley semifinal against the Griffins would follow a similar script to Tuesday’s match. The ACSS midfield proved to be very strong again, with Tsutsui and Johnny Puigvert neutralizing attacks from the flanks, and Sean Connolly, Keisuke Gunji, and Ryohei Hasegawa providing good attacking options.

KURT LANGMANN PHOTO

Aldergrove Secondary’s Jimmy Zong (in air) took the Aldergrove Totems into the provincials with the deciding semifinal shootout goal against Delta’s Burnsview side, Nov. 5.

ACSS had a great deal of possession and applied pressure consistently, but the first frame did not end scoreless. Burnsview was able to skirt the defence and finish a cross off, providing them with a 1-0 lead at halftime. The Totems ratcheted up the pressure in the second half, and again were rewarded with a free kick from distance. Once again the ball rattled around the penalty area before a Totem, this time Ryan Schmunk, slammed it home from close range. With the score level, Burnsview attempted to match the tempo of ACSS, and were rewarded with chances of their own, only to be thwarted several times by the Totems defensive corps. With less than ten minutes remaining, the ball found Koh Ota in the penalty area, one-onone with a Griffin defender. Calmly side-stepping to the right, Ota unleashed a curling right-footed blast that left the Burnsview keeper little to do but paw at the ball helplessly as it streaked past him and into the goal. It was now 2-1 for Aldergrove. With such little time on the clock, it looked as though ACSS had claimed a second high-seeded scalp, but instead

of calmly dealing with the Burnsview attack as the last of the sand trickled out of the hourglass, panic set in. Uncharacteristic fouls were committed, and in the final minute, the Griffins were rewarded with a free kick. The ball was lofted into the penalty area, rattled and bounced off attackers and defenders, and was eventually popped in by a conveniently placed Burnsview player. Overtime was imminent. In the extra frame, both teams committed to attacking soccer, not wanting the disappointment of penalty kicks. But despite all efforts, including a blitzing solo run from Ota in the last minute of the extra frame that resulted in a struck crossbar, the game would not be solved by playing soccer. Penalty kicks were on order, with the winner of the shoot-out claiming a place at the provincials and in the Fraser Valley final. The first shooters from both teams scored, with the next two shooters from both sides unsuccessful in their attempts. The proceedings remained tied through four shooters, as both Connolly and his Burnsview counterpart were successful. SEE: Page 11

Strong net minding from Kodiaks affiliate Matthew Trulson shut out all but one of 38 shots by the Pilots, while the Kodiaks made good on five of 33 shots at goalie Jacob Crawford. The Kodiaks scored on one of six power plays while the Pilots failed to net one in eight. The Win boosted the Kodiaks to 18 points in 18 games (8-8-0-2), behind the Mission City Outlaws at 33 in 20 games and the Pilots at 25 in 19 games. Ridge Meadows follows at 15 after 17 and Langley at five after 18, in the Harold Brittain conference. Scoring for Aldergrove were Cameron Davitt and Logan Webber in the first period, Eric Callegari and

Davin Padgham in the second and Ivan Vilcauskas in the third. Assists came from Brandon Dolby (2), Matt Oliver, Kyle Bosko, Spencer Unger, Wyatt Versluis, Davitt, Webber and Padgham. Kodiaks Webber, Trulsen and Padgham were first, second and third stars, respectively. KODIAKS STUMBLE IN SOCKEYES TILT The Aldergrove Kodiaks were in fine form for the first two periods against the visiting Richmond Sockeyes on Nov. 4 but the team fell apart in the third for a disastrous 9-3 loss. Kodiak Joshua Pollock scored a pair of goals in the first two periods for a 2-1 lead at the start of the third, and the Kodiaks outplayed a lacklustre Sockeyes side. However, in the third the Kodiaks fell apart with poor defence and undisciplined attacks on the visitors

at Aldergrove Arena and allowed no less than eight consecutive goals by the Sockeyes before finally closing the game with a power play goal by Kodiak newcomer Nathan Washington for the final score of 9-3 for the Sockeyes. The Kodiaks had outshot the Sockeyes 24-20 in the first two periods but the Sockeyes unleashed an assault of pucks in the third, outshooting the Kodiaks by a staggering 22-7 in the period. Pollock’s goals were assisted by Washington and Derian White, and Brandon Dolby and new player Lucas Stratford. Washington’s goal was assisted by Edvins Jansons. UPCOMING GAMES The Kodiaks’ next home games are 7:15 p.m. on Nov. 11 versus Delta Ice Hawks and Nov. 18 versus Ridge Meadows Flames, followed by a trek to play the Sockeyes at their arena on Nov. 19.

T-Birds split pair of games By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

The Fraser Valley Thunderbirds split a pair of games with the Valley West Hawks last week. Scores were: Game 1 Valley West 2, Fraser Valley 3, Game 2 Valley West 2, Fraser Valley 0. Both of these games were closely contested and very exciting to watch with both of the teams claiming victory in one of these back to back games. Fraser Valley nabbed the win in Game 1 played at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday morning, thanks to goals from Logan Hunter, Jake Mulder and Jonathan Stein. The T-Birds were outshot by a 3 to 1 margin, but thanks go to T-Birds goalie Paul Tucek who stood on his head in

goal to secure the win in this “get in, shut up and hang on” game. In Game 2 played at the Abbotsford Rec Centre on Sunday morning, the T-Birds couldn’t tickle the twine and played to an again very exciting game dropping the decision to the Hawks, to whom finally got one past T-Birds goalie Paul Tucek late in the third period before the Hawks finished with an empty net goal. The T-Birds travelled to Prince George for a pair of games this past weekend with the BCMML Cougars before returning home to host the South Island Royals at the Abbotsford Rec. Centre on November 14 at 4 p.m. and again on the 15th at 10 a.m.

Zong clinches berth for Totems

“Building a home and financing our business, it’s everything we’ve worked for.”

FROM: Page 10

The final shooter from ACSS, Zong, powered his shot home to give the Totems the lead, leaving goalkeeper Demelo a chance to carry his team into the provincials. He stood strong, read the shooter perfectly, and parried the shot to end the prolonged affair. This year’s Totems are a unique group, with a massive contingent of international students proudly representing ACSS. Though the players come from such diverse backgrounds, including Japan, Spain, Italy, South Korea, Germany, and Canada, they have peaked as a team at the perfect time. Next up is the Fraser Valley Final Nov. 12, 3 p.m. at Brookswood Secondary against the Bobcats, and then the provincial tournament in Burnaby, Nov. 23-25.
