Green flips on RCMP call

The mayor was informed he was about to get a call from the police, he has confirmed. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Langley Township’s mayor had not only been told about a police investigation, he was told which officer would be calling him. After first claiming he had not heard yet from the RCMP, Mayor Rick Green has now confirmed that he was contacted early in January by Langley RCMP commander Supt. Derek Cooke. The call was a “sort of a heads up,” Green now said of the call. “Nothing was official.” Green told the Langley Advance last week, “I can’t tell you anything about it, because nobody’s talked to me.” [RCMP ask questions about Green, Jan. 28, ] On Monday, Green said Cooke told him that a certain RCMP corporal would be contacting the

mayor in the near future. As of last week, Green said, the corporal has called him. “I received the official phone call,” he said. Green said there is an accusation that he has breached provincial statutes. “It is not a criminal offence, it is not a criminal investigation,” Green said. He expects to meet with the investigating officer soon. “I am very prepared,” he said. The police inquiries began this month, as RCMP officers began asking questions of council members, and requesting documents from the Township, in midJanuary. Police are apparently looking into Green’s actions after he was censured by council last year. RCMP officially refused to comment on whether an investigation has begun, and no charges have been laid. However, Township administrator Mark Bakken confirmed that police have made verbal requests

for information from members of council and from Township staff. The police were looking for documents and minutes from meetings. Some of the materials had to be vetted before being released, but the Township’s policy is to fully cooperate with the police, Bakken said. “Their requests have continued,” Bakken said of the police inquiries. Officers have followed up and were apparently looking for more information as recently as last week. The investigation is thought to relate to a press conference Green gave after he was censured by council for misleading them about when he had obtained certain documents. The documents were about a discredited controversy that surfaced in the mid1990s and involved the wives of several local politicians, bureaucrats, and realtors. An investigation 15 years ago by the provincial conflict commissioner concluded that there had been no conflict of interest.

An email containing allegations about Rich Coleman is libelous, slanderous, and a lie, the Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA said. “I’ve already forwarded this to legal counsel,” Coleman told the Langley Advance on Friday. The twoparagraph email has apparently been circulating since Thursday morning. Its second Rich Coleman, MLA paragraph Fort Langley-Aldergrove urges people to vote in the Advance’s online poll. The writer urges people to vote for Township Mayor Rick Green in response to the question, “Who would you like to see occupying the Langley Township mayor’s chair this time next year?” The email applauds Green as a protector of farmland. It’s the first paragraph that has raised Coleman’s ire. It contains allegations about conduct. The allegations are linked to the ongoing police inquiries being made about Green’s actions. “For someone to make that type of comment is completely a lie,” Coleman said of the email. The MLA said that, until he saw the email this week, he had not really been paying attention to the news regarding Green. Coleman has recently been on a brief vacation. “I am not, and will not, get involved in this,” Coleman said, saying he wants to stay above it. His lawyers will advise him if he needs to take further action regarding the email, he said. Green said he was not aware of the email: “I haven’t seen it, I don’t know anything about it,” he said. The mayor denied accusing anyone of anything.

A business owner remains uncertain about the future of his bakery.

Cookbook sales, 50/50 tickets, and collecting cans and bottles are just some ways two Langley women are raising funds for a cancer charity.

There’s been a bakery at 20450 Douglas Cres. for at least five decades. Mike Peglar owned one there for the past 23 years, but said he doesn’t know whether his will be there in the future. The owner of Accent on Pastries is still deciding whether to go back into business at the same site and at 58 and with arthritis, whether to go back into business at all. “I haven’t decided yet either way,” he told the Langley Advance. He said it’s been a long time since the shop was destroyed by a fallen neighbouring building’s wall, and he’s been given no estimate on when things could return to normal. Peglar said he is being kept informed but there is still so much that’s unknown. What he does know is that his shop is gone. “It looks better now than it did a few weeks ago,” he quipped after the demolition. The man accustomed to working in his bakery seven days a week for more than 20 years is now forced to do little. He added wistfully that this was the first time in more than three decades, he wasn’t working in a bakery. He had three people working for him at the time, including one student and one young woman looking to apprentice. “There are not very many bakeries out there anymore that have the credentials to do apprenticeships,” Peglar added. His other employee is on EI and looking for work. Since the incident Nov. 6, 2010, he’s been contacted by customers who miss one of the few bakeries around. They are one of the key things he misses about his shop.

After a $125 demolition permit was issued Jan. 24, equipment was moved in and the pastry shop was torn down by Jan. 28. It was originally damaged almost three months ago. “The smells, and just being around different people all the time,” are what he misses the most. He was able to retrieve one computer and some paperwork but most of the contents of the shop were destroyed. Worse yet, items have been taken from the shop, despite fencing and security. “Items are missing,” Peglar said. “When that was done, I don’t know.” Thankfully, accountant Fred Monckton was able to retrieve his equipment and data from his accounting office next door. While Accent on Pastries has been demolished, the building containing Monckton’s office and Visscher’s Travel is still standing. He doesn’t see how a building that was shoved several inches could be safe, even

with repairs. He lost more than a month waiting for the parties involved to tell him what was happening and when he didn’t get an answer by Jan. 1, he decided to make other arrangements. Monckton said he still can’t get any information from the various parties. He is certain the building, constructed in about 1957, will have to be torn down. “I was in that location for 36 years,” he noted. Monckton, who is nearing retirement age, won’t be returning to the 725 square foot office site. He and his daughter, who works for him, have done home renovations to allow them to work from their homes. “I’m permanently going to stay in my basement,” he said.

Damaged pastry shop building demolished hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

More than 80 days after a downtown Langley pastry shop was crushed by a neighbouring cinder block wall, the damaged shop has finally been levelled. On Jan. 24, Langley City received a request for a demolition permit to remove the building on Douglas Crescent that was damaged Nov. 6.

In addition to the $125 demolition permit, the City also required a $10,000 bond, standard demolition procedure to cover the costs of any unintended damage to City property or services (sewer or water lines, for instance). The demolition permit application must also include information about how the materials are being disposed of and if there are any toxic materials, such as absbestos, being removed. The travel agency and accounting office beside the pastry shop were also damaged but are still standing.

Zoo

Tumours found in lion’s lungs Cancer has been confirmed as the cause of a serious illness affecting a zoo lion – an illness that moved zoo staff to euthanize him. by Matthew Claxton

mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

Multiple cancerous tumours were killing Nagy, the patriarch of the pride of lions at the Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove. A necropsy – an examination of the lion to determine the cause of death – found multiple tumours in and around Nagy’s lungs. The tumours were generating fluid, which was causing him some discomfort in his last days. It was that discomfort, along with a loss of appetite, that alerted zoo staff in mid-January that something was wrong with the 18-year-old lion. An examination found an inoperable mass, and zoo staff made the decision to put him down. “We have to take comfort in the role we played in providing him with a long and healthy life,” said zoo vet Dr. Bruce Burton.

Langley Advance files

Nagy and one of his daughters was captured on film during the zoo’s 50th anniversary celebrations last summer. Nagy died soon after inoperable tumours were found in his chest. The death of Nagy, who lived at the zoo since 1999, has been hard on keepers and other zoo staff. “To have to be one making the decision to end his life was exceptionally painful,” Burton said, “but the fact that he died of a disease that we could neither have prevented nor treated offers some measure of comfort. “My relationship with Nagy will be cherished and he will be greatly missed.”

Nagy’s daughters Mali and Kali have also been affected. Staff at the zoo noted that they have both been vocalizing more since their father died. In the wild, lions are lucky to live 15 years, but may pass 20 in captivity. Nagy made it into his late middle age. The lions at the zoo live near a number of other large cats, including a Siberian tiger and two mountain lions.

Firefighter zapped in blaze Live wires apparently zapped a Township firefighter during a barn fire Sunday. by Matthew Claxton mclaxton@langleyadvance.com

An electric shock sent a Langley Township firefighter to hospital briefly on Sunday evening. The firefighter was one of about 40 who were working to control a three-alarm blaze at a barn in the 26200 block of 56th Avenue. The fire broke out at about 4:30 p.m., and firefighters were making good headway, and had managed to prevent the fire from completely destroying the barn. However, the firefighter apparently brushed up against some wires, and got a jolt. He was checked out by ambulance paramedics, and taken to hospital for observation until 10 p.m., said assistant fire chief Bruce Ferguson. “He’s back to work today,” Ferguson said.

The fire crews thought that all the power had been shut down to the site. They aren’t certain whether the power had been left on, or had accidentally been turned back on at some point after firefighters arrived. The barn sustained between $50,000 and $100,000 in estimated damage, Ferguson said.

Construction hits gas line

A gas leak in Walnut Grove that blocked traffic for hours was caused by construction work, according to Terasen Gas officials. Township firefighters rushed to the scene of the leak in the early afternoon. A crew had been digging in the area and apparently hit a four-inch pipe that served some local businesses. Three customers lost gas service for a portion of the day, said Terasen spokesperson Marcus Wong. While firefighters cleared the area, gas workers shut off the pipe, then repaired the breach. The repairs were completed after 7 p.m. The pipeline was a small- to mediumsized one, Wong said.

Langley girl now Miss Canada

A Fort Langley post-secondary student is parlaying pageant success into social consciousness. by Heather Colpitts hcolpitts@langleyadvance.com

Fort Langley’s Tara Teng used her Miss BC title to spotlight the issue of human trafficking and now that she’s been named Miss Canada, she has a national platform for social issues. And she plans to use it. “I am so excited for this new opportunity ahead of me,” she said. “Not only do I have the honour and privilege of representing my beautiful home of Canada to the world, I now have a larger platform to speak from. My goal as Miss Canada is unchanging from my mission as Miss British Columbia.” The current Miss BC 2011 and the oldest daughter of Terry and Lori Teng of Fort Langley was crowned Miss Canada 2011 in a ceremony Jan. 29 in Montreal. The Trinity Western University student was vocal about the evils of human trafficking before she won the Miss BC crown and after. She even had an opportunity to meet with Prime Minister Stephen Harper on the issue. Teng is also organizing the upcoming Freedom Week, March 6-13, to increase awareness. Before she was crowned Miss BC last summer, she posted to her Facebook page her thoughts on what it means to be “royalty,” a term used in pageants.

Tara Teng is using her pageant titles as Miss BC and now Miss Canada to spotlight social issues such as human trafficking. Teng (below) was crowned last summer. She takes inspiration from the likes of Queen Esther, in the Bible, Queen Raina of Jordan and the late Diana, Princess of Wales because they devoted themselves to helping others. “Being a princess is not about clothes, jewels or attending fancy galas; it is the way the you choose to live your life – using influence to inspire, challenge and impact the world around you,” Tara wrote. The Miss BC pageant takes place each summer in Fort Langley. Applications are being accepted at www.missbc.ca for the next event.

Focus attacks on facts, policies It’s going to be difficult to notice when we actually do have a federal election, seeing as how the campaigning has carried on so interminably since at least 2006. Attack ads have started running on television, and rumours are now circulating that an official campaign is just weeks away. Either way, a half-decade of pointless name-calling later, the stories are still the same. The Liberals say the Conservatives are a bunch of ogres with all sorts of nefarious schemes ready to hatch should they win a majority, and the Tories say Grit leader Michael Ignatieff is an opportunistic dilettante ready to leap into bed with whatever socialists and separatists will help him pursue the amusing hobby called leading our nation. Both Ignatieff and Prime Minister Stephen Harper have been busy lately trying to debunk each other’s notions, with Ignatieff bringing his best hand-shaking populism to targeted ridings, and Harper sitting down with the CBC to insist his sleeves are free of surprises. Of course, they both took the opportunity to say nasty things about each other, too. It is an occupational hazard of this constant semi-election, but it’s disappointing that our public figures still can’t find it in themselves to be civil. Trash the policy, but not the person. We all respect athletes for being gracious with their competitors, so why can’t we demand this of our public figures? Our failure to do so is what has led to this dumbing-down of our debate. Harper and Ignatieff are both supremely talented people who have done much they can be proud of in their lives. Both will be remembered as great Canadians. But it would be a surpassing achievement if they could publicly acknowledge this in each other.

Traffic safety

Truckers’ rules need change are made aware through a letter from the NSC that they are coming to audit our safety record. When the company goes to the driver, they usually just quit and go work somewhere else. The driver must be held personally responsible first. Only if drivers can prove that the company is forcing them to run harder or longer than the rules allow, both the driver and the company should be responsible. The same thing happens with insurance: the driver runs under our fleet insurance, and if one driver has accidents, our insurance rates go up for all of the drivers. The drivers who have accidents just move on when the insurance rates get to high, leaving everyone else to pay.

All fines and all accidents should follow the driver’s licence, not the company. That is how you will get unsafe drivers off the road. In defence of the drivers who do try to play by the rules, I have nothing but the highest respect for a job well done under very tight and unforgiving rules. Most people are not even aware of the rules. A driver may run out of hours allowed to drive in, say, Kamloops, and home is Langley. The driver has to sit in the truck and not be allowed to move it for 36 hours, although he may be only three hours from spending the weekend with his family. R. Collick, Langley

Dear Editor, I note with frustration the proposal to close the demo garden in Murrayville [Programs face chopping block, Jan. 28, Langley Advance], which some of us taxpayers enjoy visiting very much. Yet only 100 or so metres away, we are being forced to pay $50,000 for a fence because some people, who may or may not pay taxes in the Township, choose to disobey the posted signs, and walk across Fraser Highway to the hospital, risking causing accidents there. Never mind they are taking their lives into their own hands – that is their choice – but bhy should we Township taxpayers have to pay for some people’s wrong choices, and then be deprived of enjoying a little space of nature in our neighbourhood? Maybe we could choose to keep the demo garden, not build the fence, and use some of the finances to intsall a video camera to identify people disobeying the posted signs, and fine them to pay to keep the demo garden open.

Fine way to save garden

Cuts hit Aldergrove – again

Dear Editor, I know that flower baskets may not be important to some [Cut frills before trimming needs, Jan. 28 Opinion, Langley Advance], but in Aldergrove, I think they are important. We get little else in this community, and to think that they should be high on the priority list for “trimming” the budget is a little hurtful. We are the poor cousin in the Township. Perhaps we could cut the number of baskets in half and save some money that way, but why do we keep taking things away from our little community? How much did the Township just spend on the new median on the bypass as a result of the new bridge? Why did it need trees and shrubs? Grass would have been okay, or perhaps just an imprinted paver finish. Debbie Atkinson, Aldergrove [Note: Find more letters on this topic online at www.langleyadvance.com.]

Easy to blame trucker

Dear Editor, The article about the tragic fatality on 16th avenue last week said “pure reckless disregard for other drivers was the likely cause” [Mountie: ‘He killed that individual’, Jan. 21, Langley Advance]. If he wasn’t drinking or speeding, why was he passing two other cars? I can only guess that the other two cars were stopped on the roadway. The truck had just come over a sharp hill in the dark and may have had no time or place to go but into the oncoming lane. I have driven trucks with large loads and had near misses with cars that pulled out or stopped in front of me. It is easy to blame the trucker. Ralph Bittner, Langley

Dear Editor, Why are dump truck and taxi drivers always on a cellphone? Are they just being social, running another business while driving, or are they lost and need directions to their next job site? Last time I was in a taxi I heard the word Colossus during a cellphone conversation, and had I realized he didn’t know where the theatre was. I’d have shown him how to get there, rather than having him talk nonstop while threading his way though heavy traffic in the pouring rain.

Dear Editor, As an owner of a trucking company and a long haul driver for years, I know issuing fines alone will never take unsafe drivers off the road [Get trucks back under control, Jan. 25 Letters, Langley Advance]. The rules need to change. Right now, if my company hires an owner-operator to work for us, we, as a company, are responsible to make sure that the drivers operate in a safe manner. However, though the driver is required to turn in all tickets to the office for us to monitor them, that does not always happen. A driver may be in an accident before the company is even aware of what is going on. Usually, by this time, we

History

French-Canadian influence celebrated at Fort historic site by Troy Landreville

tlandreville@langleyadvance.com

In the early 19th century, the marriage between FrenchCanadian culture and what was soon to become known as the Birthplace of B.C. was a strong one. French Canadians have made a name for themselves in B.C. since the Hudson’s Bay Company representatives first set foot on the shores of the Fraser River in 1827. As voyageurs, interpreters, and trappers, their names are still heard around the community.

To honour the Fort Langley there is less and less French National Historic Site’s link to spoken, so I think people find it French Canada, the Fort held its neat to be able to celebrate what second annual Vive les is such a big part of Voyageurs Festival over Canadian culture,” the weekend.

The voyageurs transported furs to the Fort, so subsequently, the predominant language spoken inside the Fort walls was French. “There was one language called ‘Chinook jargon’ that was kind of mix of a mixture of all of different languages and incorpor-

ated a lot of French in it just so that the voyageurs and all the French men and women could understand it,” Slipiec elaborated.

But the staff there felt she would be a good match for Finn. “He’s perfect,” Ohashi said. Finn has lost some of his fear since she adopted him in December. “He’s a real sweetheart,” Ohashi added. According to shelter manager Sean Baker, it’s very rare for a dog to

live on its own and avoid being captured for so long. The last time it happened in Langley was about five years ago, when a shepherd-cross spent a year wandering around near Tall Timbers in central Langley. Finn had a happy ending, but many strays come to a bad end, often hit by cars or simply vanishing, with LAPS workers left with little idea what happened to them.

Looking back… Langley’s history, as recorded in the files of the Langley Advance. Seventy Years Ago

JANUARY 30, 1941

• The Langley Board of Trade asked that a municipal ofﬁce be set up in Langley Prairie to issue licences and permits and to collect taxes. • The Red Cross put out an emergency call for people to knit muffs for the war effort.

Sixty Years Ago

FEBRUARY 1, 1951

• Flooding followed heavy rains. Most seriously affected were Hunter Rd. (south 200th St.) and the area around Bell and Belmont Roads (36th Ave. and 204th St.), the latter problem blamed on a failure to clean out Anderson Creek. Septic tanks overﬂowed in Langley Prairie.

schools, but they revised the district’s dress code, leaving it up to individual school principals to determine what was neat, clean, and tidy clothing. • R.E. Mountain, supervising principal of Langley Secondary School, was appointed to the newly created position of Superintendent of Schools. • Langley teachers threatened strike to back their demands for pension increases. Thirty Years Ago

FEBRUARY 4, 1981

• Alderman Muriel Arnason demanded that Mayor George Preston either apologize or resign. Arnason claimed she was “publicly humiliated” by a tongue-lashing directed at her by the mayor during a Township Council meeting. She received guarded support from the rest of council, and a grudging apology from Preston.

Twenty Years Ago

• A taxpayer threatened to prosecute municipal truck drivers whom he caught speeding through school zones. He also complained of an “illegal” $2.10 charge on his tax notice for having failed to pay his 1959 taxes before the deadline.

• Local police hunted for clues to the killing of a 30year-old Walnut Grove man who was gunned down over the weekend. Drug involvement was “one of the theories” being pursued by the dozen police ofﬁcers assigned to the case. • Fireﬂex Mfg. Ltd., located on Mufford Cres., readied 1,000 feet of foam booms for deployment in the cleanup and control of the mas-

Forty Years Ago

• Trustees were cool towards “hot pants” in Langley

sive oil spill resulting from the Persian Gulf War. • Langley Memorial Hospital’s board and former chief executive officer launched breach of contract lawsuits at each other, while an RCMP forensic audit of the hospital’s books determined that financial “irregularities” had little to do with LMH’s projected year-end deficit of $800,000 to $900,000. • Langley City’s 1991 snow removal budget was already exceeded by $25,000.

Ten Years Ago

JANUARY 30, 2001

• A state-of-the-art multi-slice CT scanner was being purchased for Langley Memorial Hospital. The cost was $1.5 million. • After ﬁve ballots, local MP Randy White failed to win the Speaker’s chair in the House of Commons. • Without support from other governments, Langley City was unable to tap into the federal government’s $800-million infrastructure development program to build a rail overpass.

FEBRUARY 2, 2001

• TransLink agreed to pay for trafﬁc-related upgrades to Fort Langley, if and when it upgraded the Albion Ferry service. • Township council voted 5-2 to start work on a referendum asking voters whether or not they wanted to stay in the Greater Vancouver Regional District.

Close to Lougheed Mall, all Transportation Connections, Schools & S.F.U.

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
