Pot dispensary ‘nipped in the bud’ By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
KURT LANGMANN PHOTO
Motacan Compassion Society director Dave Smith holds a petition asking Township of Langley to permit their operations in an Aldergrove office.
While “medical marijuana dispensaries” are as ubiquitous as coffee shops in downtown Vancouver, municipal governments in the Fraser Valley are nipping these operations in the bud. Dave Smith and four other directors of the Motacan Compassion Society opened their doors on 271 Street in downtown Aldergrove on February 1 and within days received a letter from Bull & Hauser, the solicitors for the Township of Langley, demanding that they cease operations by Feb. 29. Smith says Motacan’s directors “are trying to follow the regulations and rules” and have tried to talk to the Township staff and council about how they could meet those requirements, but “no one will talk to us, they all refer us to the lawyers (Bull & Hauser).” According to the letter from Bull & Hauser a dispensary is not a legal use. Smith also put in a request to bring a delegation to council’s public meeting but “they never called us back.”
Motacan ceased operating as a dispensary on March 1, but Smith says they would like a business licence to continue to operate as public consultation and education centre. “We’re not into the recreational side of cannabis, we’re strictly the medicinal side,” says Smith, noting that some of the products, such as the topical creams, don’t contain any of the active THC found in recreational pot. “More people are choosing this route, for pain relief, for rheumatoid arthritis, and so on,” says Smith. “We don’t sell anything to just anyone, they must have a doctor’s referral, everything is lab tested, and we monitor how much people are purchasing. “We are helping people, not hurting them.” Smith said Motacan originally had planned to open in Mission and while municipal staff seemed receptive to the proposal, “the RCMP said ‘not a chance.’ So we came to Aldergrove instead.” Another “compassion club” dispensary in Deroche was raided by police a few months ago and shut down for good after a fire in the old
wood frame building. Abbotsford is the process of shutting down a third dispensary, Mary Jane’s Glass and Gifts on South Fraser Way, as well as banning owner Don Briere from opening any similar businesses in the future. Briere, who owns over a dozen dispensaries in B.C. and Ontario, was denied a business licence by the city, which requires compliance with all Canadian laws. Legislation passed by the previous Conservative government and still on the books states all medical marijuana must be bought and sold directly from Health Canada and delivered by mail. Last month, the Supreme Court overturned the law’s provisions banning homegrown marijuana, although it gave the governing Liberals six months to write a new law. Abbotsford Mayor Henry Braun said that the city is using bylaw enforcement to fight the dispensary now, but if the injunction is won and still disobeyed, the police would likely become involved. “We have an obligation as a local government to uphold laws, otherwise you have chaos,” said Braun. -files from Kelvin Gawley, Black Press
MP calls for ‘24/7’ border crossing here By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
It’s time to operate the recently-upgraded Aldergrove border crossing around the clock, Langley-Aldergrove Conservative MP Mark Warawa says. Warawa has written Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale, to argue for changing the hours of operation from 8 a.m. to midnight to 24/7. “Our community’s need
for effective cross-border traffic flow is expanding at a rate matching our fast-paced growth, and an expansion of border services makes good business sense,” Warawa says. When the Conservatives were in power, Warawa pushed for improvements to the Aldergrove border that led to a $17.7 million overhaul, including two new commercial lanes, five new traveller lanes (one of them a dedicated NEXUS lane) along with a larger trav-
eller processing facility and commercial examination warehouse. “The upgrades to the Aldergrove border are one of the most important projects that I’ve worked on in my past 12 years as a Member of Parliament,” Warawa says. “The Aldergrove border crossing is very important for jobs and economic growth in Langley and will help Langley to reach its economic potential.”

Former Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Steven Blaney (left) and Langley-Aldergrove MP Mark Warawa (right) unveiled plans for a $17.7 million reconstruction of the Aldergrove port of entry in April 2014, which has now been completed. Now Warawa, an opposition MP, is urging the current minister, Ralph Goodale, to expand the hours of the now completed crossing to allow vehicles to pass through around the clock.

Census participation creates better communities Aldergrove Star
Every five years, Statistics Canada conducts a census to collect demographic information on every person living in the county and Canadians who are abroad. While the census is a national undertaking, its results can be felt very close to home. “The 2016 Census will be conducted this May and we encourage all residents to participate,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. “The data collected is extremely valuable, as it plays a major role in creating our community’s future. This information
is used to plan for and provide the vital programs and infrastructure that our residents depend on.” “Having reliable, up-to-date information about our population directly impacts planning for services such as police and fire protection, public transit, housing, roads, hospitals, schools, and child care,” Froese said. A statistical portrait of the country and its people, the census is used by governments, businesses, and organizations to guide decisions for the future. The population estimates gathered through the census are used to allocate transfer pay-
ments from the federal government to provinces and territories, which then allocate funds to municipalities. Census participation is mandatory. Statistics Canada will be hiring 35,000 people from across the country from March to July to help collect census information. Job opportunities will be available locally for those interested in temporary, part-time work. The Census of Agriculture will also take place in May of 2016, to collect information from agricultural operators who intend to sell at least one agricultural product.

Fralick submitted a window made out of tempered glass and chandelier crystals. In 2014, she won third prize for “Grandma’s Dishes,” fashioned from stained glass, crystal coasters, old crystal dishes, and vintage mason jar lids. Last year, she created an eye-catching red flower made from a ceiling fan and broken car taillights. “I’m always thinking,” said Fralick, who once turned an old pine futon frame into a gate. “I had always wanted to make a flower out of a ceiling fan and thought, ‘What can I do to make it interesting?’ I was driving to work and there it was, right in front of me: taillights.” Noticing the different shades and patterns of the various models, Fralick asked a local auto body shop to save her the taillights it would otherwise throw out. She fashioned the pieces onto the fan, and after last year’s Upcycling Challenge, donated her artwork to Urban Impact Recycling, one of the event’s sponsors, to demonstrate what can be created through recycling. The Challenge is open to anyone aged 10 and up, and entries must be made from at least 75 per cent found or recovered material. Deadline for submissions is Saturday, April 9, and entries will be displayed at Willowbrook Shopping Centre from Tuesday, April 19 to Sunday, May 1. Prize categories include Best in Show, Most Practical, Best Use of Material (clothing), and Best Youth. The public is invited to view the exhibit and vote for their favourite in the People’s Choice Award. For more information, visit tol. ca/upcycling or call 604-532-7300.
Fire destroys lumber warehouse
MARCH 27th
Meet the Easter Bunny from 12 to 2pm for a Sweet Treat!
Some people look at discarded items and thrown-out materials and see trash. Others are inspired by their shape, texture, and colour and - with a little resourcefulness - can transform them into something useful and attractive. “It’s not garbage: it just needs a new idea,” said Shirley Fralick, an artist from south Langley. “You just have to use your imagination and look at it out of context from what it really is. A box of nuts and bolts aren’t just nuts and bolts – they are circles and octagons that can be used to create art. That’s the fun part.” For the past two years, Fralick, who uses found items such as glass, stone, jewelry, and dishes to create mosaics, has been participating in the Upcycling Design Challenge. Launched by the Township of Langley and the Langley Arts Council in 2013, the event inspires residents to become eco-artists and use waste material destined for the landfill to make something new. The fourth annual Upcycling Design Challenge will be held this April at Willowbrook Shopping Center, and Fralick hopes local residents will get inspired, use their imaginations, and turn trash into treasure for the event. “I’ve always liked to do that kind of stuff,” said Fralick. “When I was young, we passed things on to family and friends; now we just throw things away. I’ve always thought, ‘Don’t throw that away – there has got to be another use for that. We can make something out of it.” For the first Upcycling Challenge,

A massive blaze in a Langley warehouse on Fraser Highway near 252 Street took more than 80 firefighters several hours to put out, It was reported just before midnight Friday night. No serious injuries were reported, but damage is estimated at more than $1 million. Country Lumber used the building to store propane-powered forklifts and backup material. Some of the forklifts exploded. The warehouse was constructed before building codes required sprin-
kler systems, and it’s located in a part of Langley that doesn’t have any fire hydrants. Langley Township Assistant Fire Chief Pat Walker said crews worked primarily to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading to other businesses in the area. The cause of the blaze is still under investigation, but it is believed to have started in a shop near the rear of the building where the forklifts were housed. The company has 25 employees working at the site. It plans to bring in portable offices for them to work from.

Cruise-In back to Twilight By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star
The Ron Dunkley Memorial Society is reviving the popular Friday night at the Drive-in to round-out the Langley Good Times Cruise-In weekend of events. Sandy Dunkley, Ron’s mother and founder of the RDMS, said she is happy to bring back the event in conjunction with the Langley Good Times Cruise-In Society. “We are so excited. Jim McGregor is a volunteer with our society and he helped get this organized. “Happy Days is back, but now it will be double the fun and double the amount of cars and people,” said Dunkley. The RDMS held a successful Happy Days event at the drive-in last September. It included a ’50s-style sock hop and classic movies. This event is being called “American Graffiti Returns.” The event will take place on Friday, Sept. 9, when classic car owners and others will party the night
away at the Twilight Drive-In in Aldergrove. Rockabilly band Six Gun Romeo will play at the sock hop. There will be limbo, jitterbug and twist contests along with prizes for best car, dance and a celebrity look-a-like contest. The evening will end with a showing of American Graffiti on the big screen. Cruise-In Society members had expressed interest in reviving the Friday drive-in for years, but have had too much on their plate to do it themselves. Last year, the society asked the public if any charity or organization would like to step up and take it on. “The Ron Dunkley Memorial Society put a presentation to the board at our last meeting and we liked what we saw,” said Wayne Patterson, Cruise-In Society secretary-treasurer. “They put on a very successful event like this last September, and it was nice to marry it with the CruiseIn.” But Dunkley emphasized they
won’t be doing the cruise to the drive-in, as in years past. The Friday night cruise to the drive-in was cancelled in 2011 after the actions of a few troublemakers led to safety concerns. In past years, the Friday night event at the drive-in drew 350 classic cars, said Patterson. “There is definitely potential for that amount of cars to come out. “For $25 per car, it’s an awesome deal to get in a dance, and check out what is going on at the drive-in. We will be there and are looking forward to it,” said Patterson. The Cruise-In isn’t collecting any funds from the Friday event. Proceeds will go to the Ron Dunkley Memorial Society, to benefit the BC Honour House, a refuge for emergency personnel and their families receiving medical treatments in Vancouver. As always, Saturday is the big Langley Good Times Cruise-In classic car show and Sunday is the swap meet.

Before daffodils and tulips arrived to this area, trilliums, specifically “Trillium ovatum,” were spring’s envoy. They were until recently a protected plant in B.C. and shouldn’t be picked. It takes up to seven years for a damaged plant to blossom again. You can eat the leaves but it will take the plant up to seven years to recover from your harvest, if it survives at all. They appear white at first but when they turn red or pur-
ple it indicates to their pollinators, typically beetles, wasps and moths, that they have already been pollinated. They are different from many other plants in depending on insects such as ants to disperse their seeds. This method of seed dispersal is called myrmecochory. Trilliums are considered to be medicinal plants because they contain sapogenin, a uterine stimulant and the reason these flowers were once
called birthwort or birthroot. The dogwood, rhododendron and trillium were protected under a 1931 provincial act, but that ended when the provincial government repealed the law in April 2002. Kevin Falcon, the minister of state for deregulation at the time, said there was no shortage of rhodos or trilliums in B.C. and saw no need to continue the protection for the three plants. Michigan and New York still protect trilliums.

Editor: The Fraser Valley Farmers Advocacy group, the Intervenor group known as C.G.L.A.P. Association, will be hosting a tour of the directly affected lands under the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion plans in the constituency of Liberal Member of Parliament Jati Sidhu. This event will occur on Tuesday, April 5. The Honourable Mr. Sidhu will be escorted by C.G.L.A.P. President Peter Reus and the C.G.L.A.P. secretary Brian Kingman and they will visit six landowners’ properties that will host the second and newest pipeline if the CPCN is approved by the G.I.C. next December. The group, the Collaborative Group of Land-
owners Affected by Pipelines Association (using the acronym C.G.L.A.P.), is a 95-member not for profit society that has been in negotiations with Trans Mountain/Kinder Morgan now for well over two years. C.G.L.A.P. is a pro-pipeline group, yet there is still a fair distance between both sides with respect to an agreement. The single largest outstanding issue is the reluctance of Kinder Morgan to accept an annual land rental use contract. The Fraser valley farm land, all being of ALR status, is arguably the highest priced land per acre in Canada and probably the most productive. Brian Kingman, Secretary/Treasurer, CGLAP
World Water Day is an opportunity Editor: March 22 is World Water Day. I believe that water is the most important earth resource other than clean air. I also believe that one of the most powerful ways to protect our water is through legislation, but those laws must apply to all, people and business, if we want to see real change. I have these strong feelings that this is the critical time for government to take action. Canada has a new leader, who loves the
environment. This summer I am hiking the Lake Berg trail to spend time in one of our beautiful provincial parks to see incredible waterfalls made from glaciers. It’s time for the federal government to implement the right to clean water in Canada by passing an environmental bill of rights that respects, protects and fulfills our right to a healthy environment, including the right to clean water. Kim Bucholtz, Aldergrove
Editor: Re: Climate Action Plan. What planet are some if our elitist politicians from? They are using us as ATMs as they brazenly announce more taxes weekly. It takes talent and effort to responsibly restrain spending and hold taxes down. Now the BC Liberals are entertaining whacking us with huge increases in carbon taxes. The carbon-tax lobbyists are pressuring the BC Liberals to increase the carbon taxes by 33% which are now set at $30 per tonne, among the highest in the world. Multimillionaire eccentric David Suzuki want’s it to be tripled to $100/ tonne. For years, we paid exorbitantly high fuel prices but now since the market price of gas has dropped they think we should feel guilty and be punished. We need a break from the wealthy ideologue environmentalists. According to Roger McNight at En-Pro International we in B.C. pay the highest price for gasoline/diesel in Canada and we pay the highest taxes on gas too at approx. 47.5 cents per litre of gas. That’s about 70% more tax per litre than other western provinces. In transportation, every 5 cents/litre increase in taxes translates into 10% increase at wholesale. This jacks up our food prices at the kitchen table.So how is this good for a struggling economy, housing prices out of reach for the working class and scarcity of jobs? Revenue Neutral Carbon Tax appears to be wishful accounting practices. How much does the BC Carbon Tax cost each household annually? In the Budget, the Carbon Tax Report (p.56, for 2015/2016) brings in to general revenue $1.216 billion (That’s 1,216 million dollars). Now the gov’t. ‘Revenue Neutral’ pretense... So if we deduct the ‘Personal tax relief credits’ of $579 million from $1.216 billion, that leaves $637 million. Not everyone benefits from the contrived ‘Personal tax relief credits’ as they affect mostly the lowest brackets of income people. If your annual net family income is below $38,193 you qualify for a 5% credit reduction, however, if it is above $38,193 the credit is reduced by 2% capped at a max of $115.50 plus another $115.50 for spouse and $34.50 per child. Northern and Interior rural homeowners get a $200 credit. Ok so if you believe the dubious spin and assume their ‘personal tax relief credits’ are believable, divide $637 million by B.C.’s population of 4.68 million and it cost each man, woman and child $136 annually, times 2.5 persons per household which equals $340 per household minimum. If you earn above $38,193, the carbon taxes cost a lot more. The other $1,151 million ‘Tax relief credit measures’ are for businesses. We are supposed to believe that we consumers will benefit from the tax credits they give to business as the businesses will volunteer those credits back in the form of lower prices of their products. Yeah and if you believe that, I have a bridge to sell you! Regarding CO2, the entire carbon tax is based on a faulty premise. C02, portrayed as the great villain is the opposite of a pollutant. The ambient atmospheric CO2 we breathe in, is about 400 ppm (parts per million) or 1 part in 2,500. With each breath our amazing lungs 1/2 of the time by necessity, exhale about 100 times more CO2, (40,000 ppm or 1 part in 25). Are we carbon based humans bad toxic polluters? No. CO2 is infinitesimal when you consider the lower atmosphere is made up of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, that’s 99% and the remaining 1% consists of some nine other trace gases. In their order of volume, the remaining 1% is Water Vapour, Argon, ‘Carbon Dioxide CO2’, Neon, Helium, Methane, Hydrogen, Nitrous Oxide, Ozone. CO2 is an inert, colourless, invisible, odourless, tasteless gas that is absolutely necessary as photosynthesis requires a minimum of 280 ppm for life on earth and in the oceans to exist. It is the ‘ingreenient’ that greens the planet! Another good example is that our BC Greenhouse Growers (and all hydroponics need 3-4 times more C02) up to 1600 ppm to grow healthy, strong root, profitable plants, with less water. Most greenhouses spend big bucks with generators to convert natural gas to CO2 and add in a 12 hour daylight growing cycle, 23 times more CO2 than ambient. People work in greenhouses for many years with no ill effects. My purpose is to show how silly it is for us to waste tax-dollars on demonizing CO2 and methane as harmful gases and believe the nonsense they could cause catastrophe on earth. I also maintain you could more easily balance the budget by dismantling the Carbon/Climate Cap/Trade Bureaucracy and stick to tangible realistic environmental principles.

Alternatives to urban drug ghettos Seasonal Local Produce By TOM FLETCHER Aldergrove Star
My recent columns on B.C.’s struggle with the growing westward migration of transients have produced responses that fall mainly into two groups. The largest is people relieved that somebody is questioning the urban media narrative. That’s the one where drifters, drug addicts, welfare shoppers and thieves are the victims, and working people whose hard-earned communities are being degraded are the problem because of their selfish, uncaring attitudes. Then there are readers so marinated in our nanny-state education, media and political system they object to anything other than a biggovernment response. They tend to ask, what’s your solution, Tom? As someone who has lost one relative to heroin addiction and almost lost another, I reflect on the history of successful addiction treatment. That is one of detox and abstinence. That’s why I oppose the failed model of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where resources are poured into concentrated housing and “harm reduction” that perpetuate addiction, handouts and helplessness. Housing Minister Rich Coleman is rolling this out in other communities, in what I fear is an effort to paper over the problem for an election year. The Globe and Mail recently
profiled a methamphetamine addict enrolled at Onsite, the belated treatment addition to Vancouver’s Insite supervised injection site. It was his fifth try, which may have something to do with the fact that when he walks outside he is in the middle of Canada’s biggest street drug bazaar. Contrast that with a facility called Baldy Hughes, a therapeutic community 30 kms. outside Prince George. It’s a working farm, designed to provide a year-long program of abstinence-based therapy and meaningful work. It uses the traditional 12-step program developed by Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, with peer support and group therapy. There’s a greenhouse for winter farming, livestock to tend and the residents have designed and built a new horse stable. There’s also a beekeeping project. Residents can complete their high school education, take first aid training and learn basic computer skills. What they can’t do is leave unescorted during their treatment program. They can’t bring drugs, alcohol, weapons or phones with them. It’s a costly program, with a small number of spaces available on referral from B.C.’s social development ministry. Others can finance it with the help of medical employment insurance. I mention this not to suggest it is a solution for every community,
but to compare it with what the B.C. government is spending millions on. A news event was arranged to greet the first resident moving from Victoria’s squalid downtown tent camp to a refurbished nursing home. And who was the poster child for this project, hand-picked by the agency that runs the growing network of shelters in the area? He described himself as a former Edmonton resident who was hitch-hiking around, going from shelter to shelter and ending up camped in the squat. He was impressed by the tidy room with three meals a day he was being given, in a “low barrier” facility where booze and drugs are brought in, no questions asked. What he was really looking forward to, in addition to accommodations, was an opportunity to kick back and play his favourite video game. That would be Grand Theft Auto, where your character runs around stealing cars, escaping police and meeting with criminal gangs. It’s popular with adolescents, which these days means anyone under 30. This is where your tax dollars are going. Waves of people come in, with key trouble spots being communities on the major highways coming into the Lower Mainland.

Aldergrove Bruins sweep B.C. Championships By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
The Aldergrove Midget Bruins took their fifth straight win in the gold medal round of the provincial championships Thursday night, March 17, with a 5-2 win over Vernon. Aldergrove won the gold medal round at the B.C. Hockey Midget Tier 2 Championships, hosted by Prince George at the Kin Centre this past week. This is only the second time in Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association’s 43 year history that a team has claimed the top spot at a provincial championship. Aldergrove’s first B.C. championship came in 2007 when Aldergrove’s Midget team, coached by Rick Harkins, won it. “It’s all over and we could not be more proud of our boys,” said team manager Lyall Sharman. “We started out with a bit of a scare tonight, going down 2-0 halfway through the first period. Key goals by Tanner Myer and Josh Boelema were so huge, they swung the momentum our way and we never looked back. “An incredible victory, incredible provincial tournament and an absolutely unbelievable year. “As a coaching staff we could not be more proud of

Midget Tier 2 Championships and they thank everyone for their support throughout the hockey season. what you have accomplished as team. As a parent group, what can they say? So proud!” Bruins captain Tanner Myer had a three-point night, with two goals and an assist against Vernon. Dawsen Stone also notched three points for a goal and two assists. The other two goals came from Josh Boelema and Ryan Bencze. Logan Favel earned three points for three assists, and Jake De Waal and Devon James had an assist each.
Keeper Dawson Calfa made 31 saves in the final game. It was the capper to a great season for the Bruins, who were the league’s regular season champions, as well as the playoffs champions. The Aldergrove Bruins, with a 37-10-3 season record, won 12 of their last 14 regular season games, and swept the entire playoffs series.

Potomak shines at women’s nationals Aldergrove Star
Aldergrove’s Sarah Potomak scored a goal and an assist to help the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers women’s hockey team defeat Boston College 3-1 to capture the national championship. The game was played Sunday at the University of New Hampshire’s Whittemore Center Arena. Potomak opened the scoring just 13 seconds into the game and was named the tournament’s most outstanding player. She also scored the overtime winner in a 3-2 semifinal victory over Wisconsin. This was the 17-year-old’s freshman season with the Gophers and Potomak earned the Western Collegiate Hockey Association rookie of the year award.

Game three was quite a lopsided affair for the Aldergrove Midget Bruins over the Campbell River team with a 12-1 result, Wednesday afternoon. It was a tough battle for the Aldergrove Midget Bruins in the third period but they came through in the end to defeat Mission, 3-2, in game two Tuesday morning.
The Aldergrove Midget Bruins totally dominated their first game of the provincials, scoring three goals in each period against the Williams Lake team, for a game final of 9-2. The Aldergrove Bruins are: #1 Kallum Dierkhising (G), #3 Dayton Edwards (D), #4 Devon James (D), #5 Dawson Ivison (D), #6 Jordan Desrosiers (F), #7 Logan Favel (F), #8 Brodie Buchner (F), #9 Ryan Bencze
