Kicking It Up For Ukrainian New Year

Abbotsford opts for ‘Marshall road plan’

By TYLER OLSEN Aldergrove Star

JOHN MORROW PHOTO

Members of the Yevshan intermediate dance group perform ‘Poltava’ during Ukrainian Club of Abbotsford’s Malanka New Year celebration. Each year, Canadians of Ukrainian heritage celebrate their Christmas and New Year - Malanka - two weeks after the rest of us. This year, the Ukrainian Club of Abbotsford’s event featured the Yevshan dancers and a delicious traditional meal. More than 140 participated this this year’s event held at Sts. Joachim and Ann’s Church hall in Aldergrove.

A plan to create an east-west thoroughfare by linking Marshall and King roads near Abbotsford International Airport has been given council approval.

The hope is that the route will help alleviate traffic congestion on Fraser Highway and remove 3,000 to 5,000 vehicles a day from that busy route.

The $9.1 million proposal approved Monday was recommended by staff despite the objections of residents of Marshall Road Extension.

Staff said the proposal will cost $5 million less than another plan that would have seen two existing stretches of King Road connected.

That proposal had been part of the city’s long-term traffic strategy, but depended on the removal of gravel that was not expected to be completed for another 20 to 25 years.

Ecological farm sustainability encouraged Aldergrove Star

The Township of Langley will spearhead the first program of its kind on B.C.’s west coast to reward farmers for maintaining eco-friendly areas on their lands. Such practices can be costly and the Ecological Services Initiative (ESI) was created to help farmers bear the cost of keeping waterways, forests, and other ecologically sensitive areas clean and healthy for current and future generations.

“Farmers provide one of the most valuable commodities – our population’s food source,” said Dave

Melnychuk, chair of the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation.

“Farmers want to ensure that this resource remains sustainable, but it comes at a cost.”

Langley is seen as an excellent location for a three-year Langley ESI pilot program. “Agriculture plays a huge role in the Township of Langley, and it is vital to all of us that we ensure our sustainable food production,” said Mayor Jack Froese. “Our community is home to half the farms in Metro Vancouver, and we also have acres of wetlands, forests, and creeks to protect.”

“Farmers take care of the land so that the land can take care of us,” said Melnychuk. “Feeding people is an act of stewardship, and for farmers, being stewards is in their blood.”

The LSAF is partnering with the Township of Langley and the nonprofit Ecological Services Initiative to run the Langley ESI pilot project.

The ESI is a farmer-led program that supports financial incentives for agricultural producers who contribute to a healthy ecosystem.

Maintaining areas to include practices such as a clean water supply, erosion control, pest management, and

habitat preservation creates sustainable food production that benefits everyone.

The program also helps the Township achieve its sustainability objectives.

“The Township is committed to being environmentally, financially, and socially balanced and created a Sustainability Charter to help guide us into the future,” said Froese. “The Langley ESI addresses many of the Charter’s objectives, including strengthening our agricultural economy, conserving and enhancing our environment, and increasing biodi-

versity and natural capital.”

Township of Langley Council approved $120,000 to fund a portion of the pilot project.

“The Township’s investment will be used to leverage additional funding from sources such as the Real Estate Foundation and Environment Canada’s Habitat Stewardship Program,” said Dave Zehnder, coordinator of the ESI Program.

The estimated cost of the Langley ESI pilot project is approximately $350,000. The pilot project will conclude in 2018 with recommendations SEE: Page 3

Farms sought for pilot project FROM FRONT:

SUBMITTED PHOTO

An Ecological Services Initiative pilot project that will reward farmers for maintaining eco-friendly areas on their land is being conducted in south Aldergrove by the Township of Langley and the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation. Throughout the Township, food-producing farms such as Councillor David Davis’s in Milner - which was recently visited by Dave Melnychuk of the LSAF (middle) and Township Mayor Jack Froese (right) - are also home to environmentally sensitive forested areas, wetlands, and wildlife habitats that need protecting.

Computer coding to start in Kindergarten

Aldergrove Star

Parents in B.C. schools will soon have the option of introducing their kids to computer programming as early as Kindergarten to grade three.

Premier Christy Clark told a technology conference in Vancouver

Monday an introduction to coding option will be available in some schools starting next September. It is expected to be available across the province within three years, and Clark said her goal is to make it mandatory for all students entering school.

Post-secondary technology programs already include co-op job placements for 80 per cent of students, but any new programs will have to be 100 per cent co-op, Clark said.

The province and federal governments also announced new funding

for an expanded program over the long-term.

The Langley ESI is looking for at least 10 farms to volunteer to join the pilot project. Farmers will receive annual payments to participate in the program and allow access to their lands for monitoring and ecological assessments. Farmers must be located along the main stem of Bertrand Creek, downstream from 264 Street at 24 Avenue.

Contact the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation at info@langleysaf.ca before February 5, 2016 to apply.

to technology employers to help current and future workers upgrade their skills.

Grants cover two thirds of training cost up to $10,000 per employee, and applications can be made at www.workbc.ca/canadabcjobgrant

Road realignment would ease Fraser Hwy. traffic congestion

FROM FRONT:

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Abbotsford council voted this week in favour of a proposal (Option 2, seen here) that will see Marshall Road Extension connected with King Road.

Residents of the Marshall Road Extension opposed the proposal because it would make what had been a deadend route a through road with significantly more traffic.

Mayor Henry Braun said he understood residents’ opposition to the proposal.

“If I lived on that street, I would have the same concerns,” he said.

But for the city as a whole, the proposal makes more sense, he argued.

“We don’t have a lot of

options for east-west traffic and that is where our congestion is.”

He noted that of the two options before council, the Marshall Road proposal would cost less and take cars off Fraser Highway much quicker.

Questions were raised at the public meeting, and by Coun.

Moe Gill, about the gravel industry’s involvement in pushing the Marshall plan.

Braun said the impetus behind the project was a meeting he had with city manager George Murray, at which they discussed the need to alleviate

east-west traffic.

He said the road will be increasingly needed as the airport grows and as industrial lands in the area are built out.

The new proposal will keep the road to two lanes with a 50 km/h speed limit.

Braun and several councillors stressed that the widening of Fraser Highway remains a priority, although provincial funds are needed before that can take place.

Coun. Les Barkman cast the lone vote in opposition to the proposal.

Norman Aasen

Knight of the French Legion of Honour

Norman Aasen of the Aldergrove branch 265 of the Royal Canadian Legion has been awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour (Norman is seen in photo above with past president Sharon Brady).

This distinction was conferred on Aasen on Nov. 9, 2015, by the Ambassador of France to Canada, Nicolas Chapuis.

It is in recognition of Aasen’s “personal involvement in the liberation of (France) during World War II,” said Chapuis. “Through you, France remembers the sacrifice of all your compatriots who came to liberate French soil.”

The insignia “attests to your courage and your devotion to the ideals of liberty and peace.”

The distinction was approved as required

by Canadian regulations regarding the decoration of Canadian citizens by foreign states and was presented to Aasen at a ceremony at the Aldergrove Legion branch.

Nominations needed for volunteer recognition Aldergrove Star

Every day, they can be found throughout the community raising funds, working with youth and seniors, volunteering with service clubs and organizations, coaching kids’ sports teams, making life better for those who are unwell, organizing special events, and assisting people who are less fortunate.

And on April 7, the community will say “Thank you.”

The Township of Langley will once again host its Volunteer Appreciation event, where hundreds of people who give back so much of their time and effort will be recognized in an evening of dining, entertainment, and special presentations.

During the event, an exceptional volunteer, a couple who work together for the betterment of the community, and an outstanding youth will be honoured, and residents are asked to put forward the names of deserving candidates.

Nominations are being accepted for the Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award, which is given in recognition of a volunteer’s contribution to the promotion of an active living lifestyle which enhances residents’ quality of life through creative, cultural, physical, or social pursuits and enhances Langley’s community spirit.

First presented in 2009, the John and Muriel Arnason Award is given to a couple for outstanding volunteerism in the Township of Langley. Created to honour the memory of Langley Township’s first female Council member and her husband, the award recognizes two people connected by family or friendship who volunteer together to make Langley a better place.

Pipeline company must do more to Seasonal Local Produce prevent spills, Abbotsford tells NEB

Salmon River Enhancement Society at NEB hearings Aldergrove Star

The Salmon River Enhancement Society (SRES) will be front and centre in Burnaby, Saturday, Jan. 23, as the National Energy Board (NEB) assesses Trans Mountain Pipeline’s (TMP) application to expand its oil pipeline through British Columbia.

Doug McFee, Chair of SRES, points out, “The NEB recognized the importance of the Salmon River and the expertise SRES was able to bring to the table They provided $12,000 to the society for research, reporting and to assemble a presentation for the hearing.”

Well known fisheries and aquatic habitat expert Dr. Marvin Rosenau will be representing SRES along with SRES director Annabel Young.

McFee says, “In the Township of Langley the new pipeline would cut across not only the Salmon River but also West Creek. Locally Nathan, Yorkson and West creeks

would be negatively impacted as will hundreds of streams and wetlands provincially.”

Rosenau says, “Unfortunately we have found that Trans Mountain Pipeline has a long history of ignoring the environment and natural capital of the ecosystems that its pipelines pass through. Trans Mountain Pipeline has repeatedly caused a great deal of destruction when they lay their pipelines.”

The SRES study points out the extensive and unmitigated damage that the existing 1953 TMP pipeline caused as well as the more-recent Anchor Loop project through Jasper National Park.

McFee says, “Trans Mountain Pipeline has made huge amounts of money on their pipeline. We can clearly see the damage that pipeline created in Langley where it cuts across West Creek and Nathan Creek; damage that continues to degrade habitat more than 60 years later.”

Rosenau continues, “Notably Trans Mountain Pipeline is mostly refusing to use directional drilling under streams and wetlands to avoid damage to sensitive habitats.

Where damage cannot be rehabilitated Trans Mountain Pipeline is, as with the 1953 pipeline, refusing to compensate by providing the replacement habitat that is required for any other development.”

Young is particularly frustrated at the process whereby the NEB has failed to compel TMP to answer reasonable requests for information. She says, “Trans Mountain Pipeline refuses to admit that their unmitigated clear cutting of riparian banks, digging through streams and across wetlands, and damaging other terrestrial ecosystems, creates any permanent damage. It is difficult to believe that anyone would make such outrageous claims.”

Live audio feed of the hearing will be available on the NEB website.

to the area’s property owners. The company has already indicated that is how it plans to proceed in the area, but an NEB order would make that a requirement.

The city will deliver its oral submission to the National Energy Board Jan. 29 in Burnaby.

••••• On Monday, B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak announced that the province’s final submission to NEB confirms the project has not met B.C.’s five conditions for approval of heavy oil pipelines.

Polak said she is preparing to present legislation this spring to establish new standards for land protection, after discussions with Kinder Morgan and other companies, B.C.’s final submission to the NEB continues to recommend the pipeline expansion not be approved. But she said that is not the final word.

“We have been encouraged by the number of government and industry leaders who have also taken up the challenge and accepted the need to proceed along our five conditions, but we have not at this time seen evidence in the NEB hearing process that those conditions can yet be met,” Polak said.

B.C.’s five conditions include NEB approval, “world-leading” land and marine spill prevention and response, meeting legal obligations to aboriginal communities, and an unspecified “fair share” of provincial benefits from any new heavy oil pipeline project.

Kinder Morgan issued a statement Monday saying it continues to work with B.C., but requirements for aboriginal consultation, spill prevention and revenue sharing can’t be met by the company alone.

The project already faces 150 draft conditions from the NEB, in what Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson has called “the most highly scrutinized pipeline project by the NEB in history.”

Kinder Morgan is hoping for an NEB decision to recommend proceeding by May. Final approval is up to the federal cabinet.

The City of Abbotsford is still worried that the proposed twinning of the Trans Mountain Pipeline will cost taxpayers millions of dollars, and it remains concerned that more needs to be done to prevent a third oil spill in Abbotsford.

In its written submissions delivered to the National Energy Board (NEB) last Tuesday, the city said that while it neither formally opposes nor supports Kinder Morgan Canada’s proposal to expand its pipeline, it remains concerned about the cost to municipalities, as well as the company’s preparation and response to an oil spill.

The pipeline runs about 42 kilometres through Abbotsford, and Kinder Morgan also operates a pump station and tank farm on Sumas Mountain. Kinder Morgan has proposed tripling the pipeline’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day.

The plan would also add a tank to the Sumas tank facility.

Earlier this year, a study commissioned by the cities of Abbotsford, Surrey, Coquitlam, and Burnaby, along with the Township of Langley, found that an expanded pipeline would cost the five municipalities more than $93 million over 50 years. Abbotsford would incur infrastructure costs of $17 million spread out over 50 years, according to the report.

While Kinder Morgan disputed parts of the report in its National Energy Board filings, the city remains confident in its key finding that municipalities will bear a financial cost from an expanded pipeline.

“Our city doesn’t want to bear any costs with the pipeline being constructed in Abbotsford,” said Phil Blaker, the city’s director of building and development engineering.

The municipalities say there is a “substantial” time and money cost because it must obtain approval every time it works on infrastructure that crosses the pipeline’s right of way and some projects also require changes to the pipeline. The

report suggests that the present pipeline currently costs Abbotsford around $500,000 in additional expenses every year and an expanded pipeline would add around $336,000 in annual costs. To mitigate some of those concerns and costs, Abbotsford says it would like to reach an agreement with Kinder Morgan prior to construction, or to have the NEB order the company to take steps that will reduce local expenses.

The city also wants Kinder Morgan to install more safety valves and increase protections against an oil spill.

There have been two oil spills in Abbotsford in the past 11 years.

On July 15, 2005, around 210,000 litres of oil leaked from a section of buried pipe onto land near Ward Road; and on Jan. 24, 2012, around 90,000 litres of oil leaked from a tank at the company’s Sumas tank facility.

In both cases, Kinder Morgan was criticized for its immediate response to the spill. In 2012, the National Energy Board found that an operator monitoring a spill detection system failed to properly deal with three alarms coming from one of the tanks. A leak from the tank was found more than four after the first alarm was noted.

Kinder Morgan has taken steps to mitigate some of the concerns raised since the most recent spill, fire chief Don Beer said. This fall, the company brought an Oil Spill Contingency and Response (OSCAR) unit to Abbotsford, which had long been a city request.

Abbotsford has asked that city first responders be given access to the unit and training in order to speed up a spill response.

The city is also asking the National Energy Board to order Kinder Morgan to add more valves to its pipeline and install automatic shut-offs that will stop the flow of oil when a leak is detected.

It is also requesting the NEB to order Kinder Morgan to construct its pipeline through the Sandy Hill neighbourhood by directional drilling that will lessen the disruption

Editor: As many of you know the Legion is a great place to have a drink and socialize, but behind the doors it is much more.

The Legion is filled with kind and generous people, who volunteer many hours to fundraising for charities, and local groups, hold community events (which the public is always welcome to), and create Christmas for families that might otherwise not have had.

I have had the privilege in seeing the members come together and create Christmas joy in many different ways, such as building and delivering many Christmas hampers to local families in need, as well as pooling their resources together and asking for assistance from other members and companies to create a Christmas miracle annually for a local family truly needing help, complete with the presents and a visit from Santa. I have watched the members bring so much joy and happiness to local families this Christmas and past years,they have shown great kindness and compassion.

My family was one of the fortunate families to receive some of this amazing kindness this year, and would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the Legion, Ricky Bobby’s fishing derby, as well as Minto Trucking, Performance Contracting, and all others who played a role in the gift we received this year.

Thank you, and happy new year to all Name withheld, Aldergrove

Teacher-parent takes umbrage with school district opinions

Editor: I am responding to the newspaper article, “Many primary students can’t read at their grade level”, written by Monique Tamminga and published in the Aldergrove Star and Langley Times newspapers this week.

As a teacher, Aldergrove resident and parent with children enrolled in Parkside Elementary, I am flabbergasted to see that Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman and Assistant Superintendent Gord Stewart of the Langley School District would publicly imply that four Langley schools (Blacklock Fine Arts, Parkside Elementary, RC Garnett and Richard Bulpitt) are not properly servicing their grade 1, 2 and 3 children in reading.

The article states that the children in these four specific schools are “in need of literacy support and summer sessions” and the district plans to “track vulnerable students”.

By making such statements about these four schools, their words created panic, worry and doubt among the parents whose children attend these schools, many who are now wondering, “Is my child’s school a bad school?” Whether it was Ms. Hoffman’s or Mr. Stewart’s intention or not, they have also very publicly undermined the tireless work the teachers at these schools do every day to teach, mentor and mold their students into educated and successful human beings.

In an era when both teachers and the education system are publicly ridiculed on a regular basis (for reasons too numerous to list here) I can not help but wonder why the top two individuals trusted to lead the Langley School District have voiced (to a member of the news media) such a skewed and incomplete version of the truth.

I am not arguing the fact that students in the Langley school district may not be meeting expectations where literacy is concerned. But I am asking, what good did naming these specific schools serve?

Instead, Ms. Hoffman and Mr. Stewart?s words served to perpetuate

what we teachers are calling the “ghettoization” of certain schools by publicly advertising them as “tough” schools with “low academic achievement” and “many needs”. This ghetto-ization of schools creates fear and worry in parents with school age children who live in these schools’ catchment areas. As a result, many parents keep their children from attending these excellent neighbourhood schools and drive their children to other schools in Langley that are publicly deemed “more successful” with a “better clientele”. It’s such hogwash!

However, I really cannot blame parents for relocating their children away from their neighbourhood schools when these schools are so publicly and unfairly outed like they have been in Ms. Tamminga’s article.

Here, I want to adamantly point out that Parkside Centennial Elementary, my children’s school, has an amazing reading program that has taught my son, a very reluctant reader, to indeed, read!

He did not start reading until the end of grade two/beginning of grade three.

(He is now in grade 4). Can you imagine working with him for that long without any real results? I cannot and I am his mother and a teacher! But the principals, classroom teachers, support teachers and educational assistants at Parkside Elementary did not give up on him and now he reads and improves every day. But how are other parents in Aldergrove and Langley to know this about Parkside’s amazing reading support services when all that they read is Ms. Tamminga’s article and her quotes from the Langley School District’s Superintendents?

Parkside Elementary also has a parent driven Reading Club that runs after school during the year in addition to evening information sessions that teach parents ways to support their child’s literacy. Cathie Gracie, the school’s vice principal, is a reading specialist and runs these parent groups. I also understand that at least three of the schools they named, Parkside Elementary, Richard Bulpitt and RC Garnet, hold Summer

School Literacy Classes for students free of charge every summer. Mr. Stewart alluded to this fact, in a negative way, when he stated that these summer classes were canceled due to the teacher job action.

Instead, he should have stated what great support these particular schools provide for their students with their free summer reading sessions!

Another point I found very disconcerting in Ms. Tamminga’s article is that, according to Mr. Stewart, the drop in Langley students’ reading level achievement in 2014 was partly due to the teachers’ job action that year. In response, I would ask Mr. Stewart to please reference the empirical evidence that supports such a random statement.

Mr. Stewart followed this statement by saying, “But there isn’t one single factor we can attribute to this decline.”

I completely agree, but I still cannot understand why Mr. Stewart would then choose to publicly pick the teacher job action as the one “factor” to highlight and discuss in this article? Why would he purposefully put Langley schoolteachers into the public’s bull’s eye when there are so many other factors to consider?

Here are some other possible reasons for students’ lower literacy scores: - funding cuts - overcrowded classrooms with only one teacher; lack of space to properly teach small groups within a highly populated classroom; high student-classroom teacher ratio - lack of resources (leveled books, books of interest, technology) - lack of proper support services (Resource room teachers, Educational Assistants, Reading Recovery programs, Reading District Teachers) - lack of or little access to early reading intervention programs for all schools (Reading Recovery, Strong Start) - socio-economic issues - parenting/family issues - student health/behavioural issues - ELL students - even the issue of “boys born in late December” can be a reason for not read-

ing at grade level.

All of these factors contribute to a student’s learning and literacy levels, but the only image the public has been left with after reading this article is the image that blames the teacher job action for the low literacy scores by Langley students in 2014. This is not an accurate image at all.

One of the few statements I did agree with in Ms. Tamminga’s article is Mr. Stewart’s view that, “Ensuring kids are ready to enter the education system and their readiness to read, starts with parents.”

All education starts with parents at home. I have to write that again. All education starts with parents at home.

Teachers and schools are just one of the many phases in a child’s lifetime of learning. Their first “school” is at home where children are (or are not) learning basic life skills like sitting up, crawling, speaking, and yes, early literacy through the enjoyment of books and words; children learn these life skills from their parents, the most important teachers of their lives. All we school teachers can hope to do is to take in the children that the parents are raising and work with them the best we can with the limited resources we have.

Whatever Ms. Hoffman and Mr. Stewart intentions may have been, I am left unable to understand why the Langley School District chose to make any public comments in this article at all. What were the benefits? How were the children or schools better served by your quotes? I do know that parents and teachers are buzzing from it, questioning the quality of their schools and the skill set of their teachers, while the teachers are left wondering, “Now, what do we do?”

In the future, I ask that Ms. Hoffman and, more directly, Mr. Stewart, take time to make a more concerted and public effort to articulate how much they support their Langley schoolteachers’ work and their Langley schools’ educational programs. It is simply the right thing to do.

Bradner parents lead fight on school plan Editor: We are upset about the recent decision by the Abbotsford School Board to realign Bradner Elementary to K-5.

This will destroy almost 100 years of tradition at Bradner. The yearly May Day celebration will no longer have a May Queen and King (traditionally it was a Bradner Elementary Gr 7 student selected). Most of the festivities, including the yearly May Pole dance, are held on school grounds and are made up primarily

by Grade 6 and 7 students. In fact the whole May Day celebration and parade is organized by parents at Bradner Elementary so without the extra parents from Grades 6-7 students to help the whole celebration may be lost.

Losing the Grades 6 and 7 may

cause many families to move all of their children from the school including students in lower grades and that may threaten the loss of the entire school due to low enrolment.

The realignment will cause the Bradner Grades 6 and 7 students to be moved to Eugene Reimer Middle which is in the middle of a gang war on top of Townline Hill. The purpose of the realignment is to increase attendance at Reimer because many parents even in the current catchment are refusing to send their children to the school. They currently have around 360 students for a school that supports 600..

Many parents are refusing to send their children to Reimer, so the realignment would only result in a small increase anyhow. In a recent meeting at Eugene Reimer the

school administration indicated they would be happy if half of the students affected would attend their school. So the district is destroying our school and our traditions over trying to get a handful of students.

The school district sprang this proposal on us shortly before Christmas and intend to realign the school next school year (2016-2017). The Bradner PAC is currently working around the clock to save our school. Amanda McAllister is the lead contact in our proposal to the district, due Jan. 21. The district have set a tentative deadline of Feb. 23 to vote on the proposal.

We would appreciate any help we can get from the local community by contacting the school district with their opposition to the proposal.

Langley RCMP issue public ‘scam alert’ Editor: It’s always a sad day when one of the Langley officers asks me to do another ‘new scam’ warning.

Two reasons: First, it’s sad people have found one more way to steal someone else’s hard-earned money.

And second, it’s sad this particular scam has found its way to Langley.

Our Langley resident responded to a posting for a job as a caregiver for an elderly lady. She dealt with the ‘poster’ via email. He provided a name and indicated he would be out of town for the next few weeks and she should get things started to get his mother settled. He indicated he had found a rental suite for his mother and told her he would be

sending her nearly $2,500 on a bank draft in her name. She was to then send a money gram to the property representative.

Our potential victim followed the instructions but had difficulty posting the funds through the money gram. She was now instructed to wire the money through Western Union to another name. This caused our complainant to become suspicious. She had a relative call the phone number provided by the ‘poster’ and the person who answered had a foreign accent. Immediately following this call, the ‘poster’ called back from a phone in another area code.

No more communications took

place between our complainant and the ‘poster’. She has since been notified that the bank draft she was given was counterfeit.

Thankfully, our complainant was not defrauded of one cent of her money. The only thing she had to deal with is frustration and a few stops at the bank.

So what should you do? First, tell this story to everyone you know.

Second, listen to your own ‘spidey senses’. If you think something sounds hinky, it probably is and take a wide berth. Third, when you encounter one of these scams, call police. Give us a chance to warn others.

Sites Sought for Langley Ecological Services Initiative In partnership with the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation (LSAF) and the Ecological Services Initiative, the Township of Langley is conducting a three-year pilot project called the Langley Ecological Services Initiative (Langley ESI).

Langley ESI is a Payment for Ecological Services (PES) program that pays farmers to maintain and enhance areas of environmental and ecological significance. It is a farmer-led initiative designed to demonstrate, analyze, and communicate the PES concept, encourage farmers to adopt Beneficial Management Practices, and make the case for establishing a long-term program in the Township.

A minimum of ten sites will be established for the Langley ESI. The pilot project sites must: • be located along the main stem of Bertrand Creek, downstream from 264 Street at 24 Avenue • be a bona fide farm, as defined by the BC Assessment Authority • have ecological values (such as woodlots and wetlands), biodiversity values, fishery habitat values, riparian habitat values, and/or presence of federally-listed species-at-risk.

LSAF is managing the Langley ESI on behalf of the Township. It will strike a site selection committee composed of farmers, Environmental Farm Plan advisors, and representatives from the BC Ministry of Agriculture, BC Ministry of Environment, and Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society.

The amount of payment to farmers is dependent on the final number of participants in the pilot project, which will start in the spring of 2016 and conclude in the summer of 2018.

Farmers are invited to apply directly to the Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation on or before February 5, 2016, by providing the following information: • Civic address of the property in Langley • Name(s) of the Registered Owner(s) • Name(s) of the tenant(s), if applicable • Contact information such as phone number(s) • A brief description of the type of agricultural activity on site by stating animal units and total land area dedicated to farming (to determine “farm status”) Example 1: mixed farming with 100 cows and 1,500 laying chickens on 50 acres.

Example 2: 10,000 square metres of greenhouse plus 10 acres for hay.

• Other relevant information (number of years farming at the site, number of people employed in the business, etc.)

Please send applications to: Langley Sustainable Agriculture Foundation 19915 – 37A Avenue Langley, BC V3A 2S8 Or email: info@langleysaf.ca.

Unusual steps to steal a car

By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star

Langley RCMP are releasing surveillance photos of an unusual car theft this month and a person of interest in the crime.

On Jan. 2, police were called about a vehicle stolen overnight in a parking garage in the 8900 block of 202 Street. Review of the surveillance footage shows a large newer black pick up truck towing the stolen Jetta out of the parking garage. The vehicle has since been recovered, however police would like to identify the suspect(s) and/or sus-

Party bus reforms urged Aldergrove Star

It’s a good read. When crumpled and stuffed in your jacket, it’s a good insulator. That’s what Bethany had to do when she lived on the streets.

There are renewed calls for tougher restrictions on the party bus industry after the recent death of a passenger.

The 23-year-old Langley woman died after she fell out of the open door of a party bus as it made a left turn in downtown Vancouver. It’s the latest in a series of deaths, often tied to underage drinking or drug use.

The province last year tightened licensing requirements for buses and limousines with perimeter seating, including mandatory display of a special licence plate to allow police checks.

Fraser Valley home prices not as ‘hot’ Aldergrove Star

By KEVIN MILLS Aldergrove Star

The BCSPCA has recommended animal cruelty charges against Mission’s The Reptile Guy Rescue and Education Centre, owned by Mike Hopcraft.

Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BCSPCA, confirmed the recommendation this week and said more charges may be sought.

“In virtually any case where we do seize animals, our role as the investigation agency is to prepare a report to Crown counsel. We have done that,” she explained.

The charges are being recommended under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. While one set of recommendations has already been presented, a second set will go in shortly. Moriarty said it could take several months before hearing back from Crown counsel.

Court documents – the search warrant and information to obtain a search warrant – were made public by an animal activist group and state that in June 2015, the SPCA received a complaint from an ex-employee at the reptile centre, including photographs of animals in distress.

The documents list a series of concerns following several inspections. The allegations include animals enclosed in unsanitary conditions, dead animals, underweight animals, animals without water, a fungal infection, overcrowding and animals in critical distress.

Other concerns included small enclosures, inappropriate lighting and heating, and exposed wiring.

According to the documentation, a mountain horned dragon was found dead, with its eyes eaten out by crickets.

Two bearded dragons were seized, “one was found to be emaciated and had four broken legs,” according to the court documents.

The dragon was euthanized. The sec-

ond dragon was also emaciated, according to the allegations.

Moriarty said the BCSPCA is currently working with Hopcraft.

“There were some outstanding orders with respect to animals in his care and he has had a veterinarian out to examine the animals and he’s complying with the veterinarian’s recommendations.”

She added that unless the BCSPCA receives additional concerns, they will just be following up to ensure that animals are not in distress.

“Our role is to ensure, whether you are an individual or a business, whether you own a cat or an iguana, it is receiving care and remaining free from distress as the law requires.”

Hopcraft is declining to talk to the media.

But on his Facebook page he said he wanted to clear up some of the allegations.

On the claim there was a bearded dragon with four broken legs, Hopcraft wrote, “To my and my staff ’s knowledge, there was no such bearded dragon and we are not sure where that information is coming from.”

He added there is a “huge difference between broken limbs and limbs affected by metabolic bone disease,” saying a vet may diagnose it as fractures depending on the severity of the condition.

As for the overcrowding concerns, Hopcraft said there is a “double standard.”

He wrote, “Are some of my animals over crowded and being kept in enclosures that are too small? For a long term situation, yes.

“Our isolation snakes are kept in smaller enclosures as they are not here long term. This is the same as the SPCA keeping adult cats in 2x2x2 cages or dogs in 6-8 foot cages. Is it ideal? No, but it is what is necessary in order to take in the animals and find them new homes.”

He also addresses more concerns in his post.

Even with that gain, a benchmark Tsawwassen house at just over $1 million is barely a third the cost of its $2.88-million equivalent on Vancouver’s west side.

The fastest price gains in the Fraser Valley were for detached houses in North Delta, which were up nearly 26 per cent to $703,100, followed

by White Rock/South Surrey, where benchmark houses were up 18.4 per cent to $1.1 million.

In related news, tenants who take disputes with their landlords to the Residential Tenancy Branch now have to pay twice as much after the B.C. government approved fee increases in late December.

The fee for a dispute resolution application filed by a renter doubled to $100 from $50. And an appeal review now costs $50, up from $25.

Landlords must pay the fees if the branch finds in favour of the tenant.

KURT LANGMANN PHOTO

Thursday “Live Blues” nights are packing in the crowds at Bob’s Bar ‘n’ Grill since the event was launched just two weeks ago. Members of the Fraser Valley Blues Heritage Society perform a variety of blues and R&B classics for the dinner crowd.

The red hot market for homes in Vancouver last year was noticeably cooler further east in the Fraser Valley.

The benchmark price of detached houses across the Valley climbed 17.3 per cent to $672,400 in 2015, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, which includes Surrey, North Delta and White Rock in its region.

Year-end statistics show townhomes in the Fraser Valley were up 9.6 per cent to $321,800 while condos gained 7.2 per cent to a benchmark $204,900.

On the north side of the Fraser River, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reported its benchmark detached house price was up 24.3 per cent to $1.248 million. Townhouses there were up 13.6 per cent to $543,700 and condos gained 14 per cent to $436,200.

But the largest single increase in the Greater Vancouver board’s area wasn’t in Vancouver, but for detached houses in Tsawwassen, which were up 32.2 per cent.

NHL dream comes true for Theodore

By GARY AHUJA Aldergrove Star

Every kid dreams of playing in the National Hockey League and of scoring their first career goal.

Both have now come true for Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore.

With the score tied at one in the third period against the Ottawa Senators last week ( Jan. 13) at the Honda Center in Anaheim, the Anaheim Ducks rookie defenceman took a pass from captain Ryan Getzlaf, broke in along the wing and put the puck past goaltender Craig Anderson for a 2-1 Ducks lead.

Anaheim would win the game 4-1.

“It was a bit of a relief,” Theodore said earlier this week ( Jan. 18) when he spoke to the Times from Anaheim on an off-day for the Ducks.

“I saw an opening on the shortside and just shot it.”

“I was pretty excited; I think I fistpumped with arms. I kind of blacked out.”

When Theodore checked his phone after the game, it was flooded with messages.

“It blew up a little bit from all my friends and family,” he said.

“Social media is pretty big, so you’ve got a lot on Instagram and Twitter. It was pretty cool.”

While Theodore’s teammates con-

gratulated him on the goal, Getzlaf retrieved the puck for the rookie defenceman.

The goal came in Theodore’s eighth game and he figures the puck — which the team is having mounted on a plaque to commemorate the achievement — will go on display at the family’s house back in Aldergrove.

It will join the collection Theodore’s collection of trophies and plaques he has won over the years.

Theodore was on Canada’s goldmedal winning team at the 2015 IIHF world junior hockey championships, where he also notched a goal and an assist.

“This will be a nice one to add to the wall,” he said.

It has been a whirlwind month for Theodore as he was recalled from Anaheim’s American Hockey League affiliate, the San Diego Gulls on Dec. 27.

The first round draft pick in the 2013 NHL entry draft (26th overall) is in his first season of professional hockey after a stellar major junior career in the Western Hockey League with the Seattle Thunderbirds.

Theodore made his NHL debut a few nights later and has been in the line-up ever since.

“He’s played great,” said Getzalf on the Anaheim website. “He’s a

really smart kid that finds those holes very well.

“He’s helped our power play tremendously.”

“Those are just his offensive instincts,” Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said on the team’s website.

“Getzy did a great job of waiting for him and Shea was ready.”

Theodore’s parents were able to watch his NHL debut in Calgary and they had tickets for a few nights later when Anaheim was in town to play the Vancouver Canucks.

They had planned a trip to visit him in San Diego for early February, but Theodore has no idea if he will be back in the AHL — the Ducks have three defenceman currently out — by then or still with the big team in Anaheim.

“I am just taking it game by game,” he said.

“I have gotten lots of great feedback (but) obviously there are ways to improve.”

In 10 games, Theodore has one goal, three points and a +2 rating while averaging just over 19 minutes a game.

The Ducks are back in action Wednesday ( Jan. 20) when they host the Minnesota Wild.

Stalled Kodiaks drop pair of games to Pilots, Flames Aldergrove Star

The Aldergrove Kodiaks lost a pair of games last week to the Abbotsford Pilots and Ridge Meadows Flames as the regular PJHL season begins to wind down.

The team is stalled at 38 points after 35 games (18-150-2) but remain firmly in third place in the Harold Brittain conference and are certain of a place in the playoffs after the regular season ends next month.

The Pilots opened the scoring in the Jan. 13 game at Aldergrove Arena. Kodiak Brandon Dolby responded early the second period, assisted by Spencer Unger, but the Pilots scored three more before Unger scored on a power play to bring the score to 4-2 for the Pilots. Unger’s assists came from Davin Padgham and Cameron Davitt.

The Pilots scored their final

goal in the third and Kodiak Quinncy Leroux responded a minute later, assisted by Cameron Davitt, to end the game 6-3 for the Pilots.

The Pilots outshot the Kodiaks 42-32 and both teams scored one apiece on the power plays. Unger was named third star.

The Kodiaks took an early lead in the second period, Jan. 15, against the Flames, with a goal by Eric Callegari from Lucas Stratford. The Flames responded to even it up at 1-1 at the start of the third.

However, the Flames would go on to fire six goals in the third before the Kodiaks responded with three, to end the game 7-4 for the Flames.

The final three goals were scored by Joshua Pollock (2) and Derian White, with assists from Erik Bocale, Nathan Washington, Davin Padgham (2), Eric Callegari and Ryleigh Anderson.

The Kodiaks outshot the Flames 59-37 and scored twice on the eight power plays while the Flames scored one on five.

Pollock was named third star.

Next up for the Kodiaks is a home game Wednesday, Jan. 20, 7:15 p.m. against the North Vancouver Wolf Pack, away Jan. 23 versus the Port Moody Panthers, and a home game Jan. 27 versus the Ridge Meadows Flames.

The Kodiaks close the month with two back-to-back away games Jan. 30 and 31 against the Mission City Outlaws and Grandview Steelers, respectively.

The Kodiaks will have four remaining regular season games in February before playoffs begin. The dates are at home Feb. 3 versus Delta Ice Hawks, away Feb. 4 at Langley Knights, away Feb. 9 at Delta Ice Hawks and the season closer at home Feb. 10 against Richmond Sockeyes.

Kleingeltink earns athlete of the week honours Aldergrove Star

Langley’s Joel Kleingeltink was named the PacWest men’s volleyball athlete of the week.

The fourth-year right side hitter was dominant in a pair of five-

set thrillers against the defending national Camosun College Chargers. He racked up 22 kills, three blocks and 11 digs the first night as Camosun won in five sets.

And in the rematch on Saturday,

he had another colossal outing with 20 kills, three blocks and nine digs as the Cascades won this time in five sets. Fraser Valley improved to 8-6 on the season. Kleingeltink is a Langley Christian graduate.
