Report slams Green’s conduct

PATCH WORK

Nearly $16,000 in savings would be returned to Aldergrove

Mayor describes ‘meeting from hell’ over Brownshak documents

NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Aldergrove is one of Langley’s less affluent communities, but over the course of 10 weeks, its residents are striving to raise their collective wealth by $1 million. Guided by financial experts and a team of money detectives, the neighbourhood will strive to earn or save $100,000 a week in a series of community and individual challenges related to food, housing, transportation and other costs. If they succeed, the financial lessons they learn along with a chance to win a weekly prize of $10,000 and a grand prize of $100,000, will change their lives forever. It’s all thanks to the Oprah Winfrey Network Canada, which hired Force Four Productions to film the process. Force Four formed MDM Media to produce the show over a period of three months, and on Monday, producer Keith Giesbrecht told Township council that if film permit fees were relaxed, the company would return the almost $16,000 in savings to Aldergrove. The problem facing council is that the Municipal Act forbids local authorities from waiving fees paid by forprofit organizations. On Monday afternoon, Giesbrecht said that Force Four is investing $125,000 in financial advisors and assistance to Aldergrove to show residents how to reduce debt, increase income, and find money they didn’t know they had — including funds owed to them by the Canada Revenue Agency. He added that production employees have injected into the Aldergrove economy more than $80,000 in food, gas and other necessities. Residents have formed a car-pooling club, are compiling a coupon book to encourage local shopping, and organizing transportation links to help residents find work at Gloucester Estates. Giesbrecht said that the production company has already paid the Township $12,595 in permits, expects to pay $3,000 to $4,000 more, and pledges to return it all to Aldergrove if the fees are waived. “It doesn’t go into Oprah’s pocket,” Giesbrecht said. Council approved a motion asking staff to investigate options, and provide the mayor and councillors with copies of the pertinent provincial statutes and Township policies.

Who provided the anonymous brown envelope that mysteriously landed in Township Mayor Rick Green’s rural mail box? It is a key question that remains unanswered, following council’s release of the Lidstone Report on Monday. Many names have been blocked out of the report. But what the Lidstone Report does make clear is that Green misled his own council and misled three legal counsel about when he first learned about Brownshak Developments. Lidstone and Co., the Township’s legal firm, was asked to probe inconsistencies in the mayor’s story about the discovery of the anonymous documents in the brown envelope, which focused on a company called Brownshak. Green alleged that the documents might support allegations of improper conduct by Brownshak and its principals. Brownshak was a limited company owned by the wives of MLA Rich Coleman, realtors Joel Schacter and Bob Bailey, and Township administrator Mark Bakken. The principals relinquished their assets in 2005. When the Brownshak issue first came up in 1996, continued, PAGE 4

A new piece of public art has been installed in Aldergrove to recognize a pioneer who helped develop and shape the community. A cairn recognizing the contributions made by Philip Jackman was placed across from the park that now bears his name. The cairn, located in Aldergrove Kinsmen Heritage Park, pays tribute to everything he did for Aldergrove during its formative years and explains the significance of the decision to rename the adjacent park Philip Jackman Park. Earliert his month, members of Township council and staff joined Jackman’s descendants for the official unveiling of the cairn. “Jackman was one of the Township’s early reeves or mayors, serving from 1895 to 1897,” said Al Neufeld, the Township’s manager of parks Submitted photo design and development. “He led a fascinating life Philip Jackman’s great-grandsons, Keith and John, stand by a cairn which is located in and is credited with naming Aldergrove Kinsmen Heritage Park.

In-camera meeting created ‘speculation and angst’ from PAGE 1

then-Conflict of Interest Commissioner Ted Hughes found that allegations of conflict against Coleman, then a newly-elected MLA, were without foundation. A separate legal opinion by Lidstone and Co. came to the same conclusion as Hughes, as did the Township’s legal counsel of the day, that there was no wrongdoing by the principals or their spouses. After he received the brown envelope, Green called an emergency meeting of council, saying that there would be no staff present. The Lidstone report notes that one councillor, whom the report does not name, was puzzled why Green would call the meeting that barred staff. Bakken and Township staff were caught by surprise. According to the report, Bakken had no knowledge of Green’s emergency, in-camera meeting. Green called it for Oct. 29, 2009.

Lidstone finds fault but rules oath not breached NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Don Lidstone, QC., concluded in his report that Township Mayor Rick Green misled three lawyers and his own council. Green misled council when he called the sudden in-camera meeting of Oct. 29, 2009, to share what he claimed was new information he had just received in an anonymous envelope. In fact, Lidstone concluded, Green had received it more than two months earlier, on Aug. 4, 2009. Therefore, there was no justification for the emergency meeting. The Lidstone Report concluded that: “1.The mayor expressly mentioned Brownshak to a third party, who then accessed corporate information about Brownshak and provided this to the mayor on Aug. 4, 2009, two months before the mayor purportedly received this information anonymously for the first time in his mailbox on Oct. 28, 2009; “2: Between Aug. 4 and Aug. 5, the third party sent to the mayor the Aug. 5 Brownshak company search that the mayor released at the Oct. 29, 2009 council meeting, and provided the mayor information about the Brownshak registered and records offices; “3: On Sept. 2, 2009, the third party emailed to the mayor the Brownshak Central Securities Register; “4: The lawyer in whose offices the Brownshak Central Securities Register resided, has stated that only one person accessed the Register, and that this occurred in late August, 2009 — this Register was delivered by the mayor to council at its Oct. 29 meeting; “5: The company search and Register that the mayor said arrived anonymously in his mailbox to his surprise, and that he disclosed to the emergency special closed council meeting of Oct. 29, 2009, were the same documents obtained by the mayor in August, 2009; “6:The mayor misled council when the mayor on Oct. 28 responded to e-mails about the purpose of the emergency meeting and on Oct. 29 stated that he was surprised to receive the brown envelope containing the company search and Register;

“7: The mayor misled Allan Hamilton, when the mayor contacted him on Oct. 28 on the basis of the “surprise brown envelope” to obtain an opinion that he could call the special meeting and exclude the Administrator.” [Green, having said he did not want to “tip off” the Township’s law firm Lidstone and Company, hired independent counsel Hamilton, whose services were paid for by taxpayers.] “8: The mayor misled Paul Hildebrand, associate counsel at Lidstone and Co., and the undersigned (Don Lidstone), on Jan. 21, 2009 when he told us his version of the material events. Green’s action was probed by the RCMP, but special prosecutor David Crossin ruled that charges would be unlikely to lead to a conviction. The report noted that the register for Brownshak “had been accessed only by one individual and no one else.” “The lawyer (for the Register) stated that he could only assume that any materials that were delivered to the mayor originated from the office of this third party.This was corroborated in our interview with the mayor,” Lidstone wrote. In a June, 14, 2010 letter to Don Lidstone, Green said the he had “uncovered something that was an absolute shock to me,” namely that the locks to his mayoral office had not been changed since he was elected. He said he kept the Brownshak Register information in his office, to which cleaning and maintenance staff, senior staff and department heads had keys. Lidstone concluded that what Green did was not criminal. He did, however, recommended that council beef up its oath of office and add other parties to whom the Township’s Code of Ethics currently apply. While Green did not breach the oath of office, Lidstone recommended updating it so that it is consistent “with the needs and expectations of the Township and its electors in the context of existing legislation and prevailing principles and policies.” Lidstone noted that the Code of Ethics applies to staff, but not council. –Green responds to Lidstone Report, Page 8

WE SAY

THEY SAY

A political football

The gap is growing

fter numerous requests from citizens and media outlets, including The Times, Langley Township council has released the report of lawyer Donald Lidstone into the actions of Mayor Rick Green in the Brownshak affair. While the report is at times hard to follow, due to the editing out of every single name other than Township officials and Lidstone lawyers, details do emerge. The basic facts have been well-known for months, but the report adds considerably more detail. Green was aware of Brownshak Developments long before he said he was. E-mail evidence from the Township server proves that. His actions in calling a special closed meeting, on 24 hours notice, without administrator Mark Bakken being present, are puzzling— particularly in light of the fact that he knew about Brownshak months earlier. His actions must be considered for what they were.They were a clumsy attempt to gain some political leverage against a council that, almost from the day he was elected, has fought him tooth and nail. Needless to say, he gained no leverage. In fact, his actions led to the Lidstone investigation and report and to an investigation by the RCMP, which passed its information over to a special prosecutor. Earlier this year, the special prosecutor concluded that no further action would be taken. So the Brownshak affair is back where it started — a political football to be manipulated by those jockeying for position. As the municipal election campaign is now underway, it will be taken out of context and used by all sides to justify their positions. Where does this leave Township residents, who ultimately paid for this report and the subsequent investigation? It leaves them out of pocket thousands of tax dollars. They also now can see more clearly that Green on one side, and the council majority on the other, were far more consumed with political gamesmanship than providing leadership and good government. Many Township residents feel that both Green and the majority of council have disgraced themselves by their wrangling over this and other issues. It’s hard not to disagree. The Lidstone Report is worth a read, and can be accessed on The Times’ website. It provides another good reason to get out and vote on Nov. 19. There is no shortage of candidates to choose from.

he protesters occupying financial districts around the world are expressing a growing frustration that governments and their financial policies are losing touch with the people they’re supposed to serve. Instead, the rich are getting richer while the rest are being left behind. The voices of discontent and disaffection first gathered and rose up on Wall Street, where they denounced taxpayer-funded bailouts of huge financial institutions that were supposed to correct mistakes they’d made, but instead lined executives’ pockets with huge bonuses. The protests have since spread to countries where years of corruption or short-sighted policy have put economies in peril, costing people their livelihoods, darkening the prospects for future generations. It might be easy to dismiss such concerns in Canada, where the economy and unemployment levels have been fairly stable since the last recession. The thousands of protesters who filled Robson Square in Vancouver and Bay Street in Toronto on Saturday petered down to a few hundred on Monday. But our politicians should pay attention. The gulf between the haves and have-nots is growing. For most working people, wages have stagnated over the past five years while the cost of living continues to soar. In Metro Vancouver, a litre of gas costs 25 cents more than it did in October 2010. That 22 per cent increase eventually trickles into everything we consume. A modest, aging bungalow in Burnaby or New West now commands almost a million dollars, out of reach for most people earning even a decent income. The middle class is the foundation of economic and political stability around the world. It’s being crushed by corporate greed and government policy that cultivates it. While most of that middle class may not be downtown sleeping in tents, their own fears and frustrations are being awakened by the occupiers. —Burnaby News Leader The Langley Times is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry.

Making non-users pay for transit

Voters will be the judges

Editor: We just returned from vacation and spent a full day reading newspapers to catch up on local happenings. It was no big surprise to see that TransLink is once again after more money from home and car owners. I am a big supporter of user fees — I believe that if you use a service, then you should pay for it. However, out in rural Langley we have very little access to transit. Therefore, we own a car. Now is anyone at TransLink going to subsidize my gas, insurance or maintenance on the vehicle? No, of course not. So why do they want those of us who do not have access to the service to pay for it?

Editor: Now that the Lidstone Report on the wrongdoings of Mayor Rick Green is out, I encourage everyone to read the report for himself or herself. Mayor Green and his supporters have conducted a three-year campaign to smear the reputations of sitting councilors and staff members. I commend the councillors on Township council who didn’t give up and stood up for what is right. Although we are not going to see justice done in a court of law, it is apparent that Mayor Green was accused of serious criminal behaviour and abused the trust the voters of Langley Township placed on him by electing him mayor. It will be the court of public opinion on Nov. 19, 2011 when the electorate will have the opportunity to choose our next mayor. Green will be tried in the court we call democracy and the people of Langley will send a clear message that his type of politics is unwanted in our community. Jack Froese, mayoral candidate

A little notice would be nice Editor: While I am in full support of allowing filming in the Township of Langley, as it does provide income, I do object to not being fully informed as to how it will affect me. On Monday, Oct. 17, my neighbourhood was buzzed (for approximately opne and one-half hours) by a helicopter that was doing filming. I was informed of this after a call to the police. While I appreciate that some filming has to be done from the air, it would have been nice to be notified that there would be an invasion of my privacy because of this helicopter. It’s not enough that we have to deal with firecrackers at this time of the year, but to have a helicopter buzzing around, scaring my dogs and preventing them from enjoying their back yard is not what I call neighbourly. I had to put them in their crates for the duration of the filming. I would suggest that, in the future, if there are to be helicopters involved in filming, affected neighbourhoods be advised of the imposition. Then we can make changes in our daily schedules to accommodate the activity and be happily supportive of an industry which provides so much income to the Township, instead of putting a bad taste in our mouths for lack of information. Debbie Atkinson, Langley

Reunification association simply wants a study Editor: Readers of The Times should know that the Langley Reunification Association is alive and well. Our citizens’ petition is doing very well and people are still signing, and anxious to sign. We have heard from various sources that our efforts are creating quite a buzz in Langley. This was not our intention, but we are pleased that the people of Langley know that reunification of the two municipalities is an issue that needs to be addressed and needs to be studied independently, and in depth. The directors of the Langley Reunification Association have maintained their non-political approach to the petition, but

we are confused by the lack of support and consideration for our efforts by the mayor and council of the City of Langley. The mayor and council of the Township of Langley appear to be open-minded about our efforts in Langley. Our position from the beginning was to foster a long-term dialogue between two communities that once were one.We are puzzled that anyone in this democratic and progressive land would resist an in-depth study.A study might make a case for reunification, or it might demonstrate that the status quo is the better option for the near future. The question that then begs to be asked of the City of Langley is: What are you

afraid of? Information and knowledge pertinent to this community cannot harm the community, but it could set a foundation for the future of the community and the people who will be leading it. The Langley Reunification Association believes that the residents of the City of Langley and the Township of Langley have a right to know how they can best be served and at what cost. A joint, comprehensive, independent study would clear the air and answer the questions that have been asked for the past several decades. Rian Martin, president, Langley Reunification Association

Support from Langley was appreciated Editor: I want to thank The Times and reporter Natasha Jones for the story about our recent Wellspring Ride for Rwanda. My husband Peter and I had great support from the community, including from Heath and Dan at Cranky’s Bike Shop in Aldergrove. I want to publicly thank Cranky’s for partnering with Peter and me for our ride — fixing our bikes, changing tires, and making sure we had all the right equipment to make the 220 km trek. The

I also want to thank Bill Ede from Aldergrove Soccer, who lent us a canopy tent and rain gear.The 60 riders were grateful for a dry place to stop on our first day when it poured rain all day. Peter and I kept drier than we may have been otherwise. Thank you also to those who gave financially to our ride. Readers responded and Peter and I reached our goal of raising $5,000. In total, the ride brought in nearly $60,000. One hundred per cent of funds

raised are going straight to Wellspring’s projects in schools in Rwanda. It’s great to see a community come together to support great causes. Thank you Langley. We had a team of riders and support crew who came from Langley, and other r iders came from all across Canada. For more information on next year’s ride, see www.lake2lake.org. Janice Nikkel, Langley

PROTECTING YOUR SHAREHOLDER LOAN For example, if the company fails and has only $30,000 of assets to cover $100,000 of claims, and $40,000 of those claims are secured, then the secured creditors will get 75 cents on the dollar of their claims and the unsecured creditors will get nothing. A good strategy therefore is to properly document each shareholder’s loan and then secure this and any future loans with a charge over all of the company’s assets. This charge could include both a mortgage against land and a security interest against Most of a shareholder’s investment personal property, depending on the should be structured as a loan rather circumstances.

‘An act of desperation,’ Green says of release NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

There is “nothing new” in the Lidstone Report, Mayor Rick Green has said. Township lawyer Don Lidstone ruled that the mayor misled his council and three lawyers. “I apologized for that in writing and said so publicly in my Sept. 13, 2010 news release and news conference,” Green said in a statement. “I also explained my reasons and rationale; specifically it was to protect my sources and their reputations.” He added,“Boiled down to the issue, it was all about information that came into my possession that I thought council should be made aware of. I sought out independent legal advice, I followed that advice, and for that we have gone through two years of wasted time, an estimated $100,000 cost to Township taxpayers, plus $25,000 personally, to defend myself against false accusations. Why? That is a question I still ask myself, only council knows the real reason.” But had Green followed Township policy governing the receipt of anonymous material, the situation could have been avoided, said Township Councillor Mel Kositsky.

Kositsky and Jack Froese are challenging Green for the mayor’s job in the Nov. 19 election. At the heart of the controversy is that Green called an emergency meeting in October, 2009, on the grounds that he had just received information he wanted to share with council. However, the information had already been in his possession for more than two months. The advent of e-mail led to unsigned messages being sent to council and staff. This prompted the Township to adopt a policy of not entertaining anonymous correspondence. “We brought that in (policy) years ago when e-mails started,” Kositsky said. “The mayor chose a course of action, and the rest is in the report.” Kositsky said that the Lidstone Report contains the words of both lawyer Don Lidstone and Green, “and it’s up to the public to read the information and decide for themselves. People have been asking what is going on and here is the opportunity to get that information.” The whole situation stemmed from Green raising the issue of an anonymous letter, and “the information that came out showed that any trust that had been built up is gone.”

Green said that he believes the Lidstone Report “finds no guilt of a criminal offence and that I did not breach my oath.” In a statement issued on Tuesday, Green noted that a complaint filed with the RCMP and later referred to a special prosecutor had been dismissed “after a thorough and lengthy review.” “And now this. This is the act of desperation on the part of a desperate council who has been focused on one thing since the last election: defeat Mayor Green.” What members of council have been doing, he said,“is redirecting away from the real issues that matter to Township taxpayers. I am going to concentrate on the real issues of concern to the taxpayers of the Township of Langley during this election: taxation, spending, transportation and community planning are the issues we will discuss.” He accused council of wanting to “take us back to the previous way of doing things, where community input was not welcome nor invited.” That is not what taxpayers want of council, he said, adding “I have no problem in putting my fate in the hands of the voter.” The Lidstone Report can be viewed in its entirely at www. langleytimes.com.

Poppy funds to help vets, president says

FAMILY DENTISTRY Building happy, personal relationships with you and your family is very important to us. Sometimes a visit with us can even be fun. That’s why we have TVs in our ceilings!

BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

Langley Legion won’t lobby to use funds from its annual poppy sales to help Branch 21 out of its financial problems, despite the suggestion from one member that it is an ideal solution. Mike Harvey wrote a letter to the editor (The Times, Oct. 18) suggesting a small proportion of the funds raised could be used support each Legion branch that sells the pins, helping to ensure the branches survive so that the poppy drives can continue. However, Langley Legion president Gail Reid said that is not an option for the local branch. Money raised through the annual poppy fund is already earmarked for a number of items which benefit local veterans, she said, from donations to Langley Lodge and Langley Memorial Hospital to Lower Mainland seniors homes which cater exclusively to veterans as well as to Langley Meals on Wheels. Poppy proceeds also go to help individual veterans in need, she added, whether that means purchasing dentures, hearing aids or groceries for those who can’t afford them. Langley Legion Branch #21 collected and donated $76,000 last year, Reid said. While she admitted she is very concerned for the future of the 86-year-old organization, Reid said the money from annual poppy sales won’t be used to prop it up. For that, she said, it is up to the membership to support it by stopping in for a drink or a meal and attending special events. The Legion is also raising membership dues by $2 per year for the next five years to help offset costs. There is no fixed date by which the Legion, which is about $200,000 in debt, must turn itself around or face closure she said, but that was the situation it was facing in its old building. “We had no other choice but to sell it and move.” However, once in its new facility, the Legion found it was facing a host of unexpected costs, including a number of upgrades required by the City. “We had to go ahead. We couldn’t quit part way through,” said Reid. “We thought this year would be easier, but it hasn’t been,” she said. “We’re inching along.”

City wifi pilot discovered by some BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

They’ve been quietly keeping it under wraps, but it turns out that for the past few months Langley City has been a Lower Mainland hot spot. Since July, the City has been quietly experimenting with wireless internet at the Spirit Square in Douglas Park and down the street at the Timms Recreation Centre. The wifi pilot project hasn’t been advertised, but a number of people have already stumbled across the hot spots with their laptops, smart phones and tablets. “It’s a big secret, but it’s been used quite a bit,” said Ken Ogden, manager of information services

for the City, as he presented the findings to council on Oct. 3. Beginning with 303 sessions in July and climbing to 439 in September, use of the City’s free wifi has been steadily climbing, he said. Staff are now looking at installing more access points throughout the City at a cost of roughly $300 per router, he added. In order to do that, Ogden said, the municipality has to secure a number of new access points. Though no overtures have yet been made, Ogden said locations such as Al Anderson pool, Penzer Park, Langley Community Music School would be ideal. And he has already been in touch with the Downtown Langley Merchants Association about

installing wifi throughout the downtown core. Before they can log on, users must accept the City’s terms and then are permitted up to three hours of free internet access. The time limit is intended to keep residents of nearby apartments from piggybacking indefinitely on the hot spot. Councillor Gayle Martin asked whether a system could be set up to charge users a fee after their three free hours had expired. “The minute you charge, you’re responsible for maintaining service,” said Mayor Peter Fassbender. “We need to look at the implications on all issues, then council can make a policy decision.”

Storteboom seeks second council term Rudy Storteboom is seeking re-election to Langley City council. He is finishing his first term as a councillor. He plans to run a low-budget campaign that is in keeping with available resources. He is proud of recent council accomplishments, including three balanced budgets, new Al Anderson Pool facilities, 208 Street reconstruction, the new Nicomekl Bridge and paying off the City’s debt. Through good financial management with government partnerships and available

grants, new infrastructure is being built. He has been a City resident for 28 years. He worked at the credit union, the vacuum store, the coffee house and he is a currently licensed realtor with Macdonald Realty1st Pioneer in Langley. He is a recipient of the Realtors Make Good Neighbours Award. “As a realtor, I do more than sell real estate.

Long looks for fifth term in Township Incumbent’s hope for council – ‘working and winning together’ Bob Long is seeking re-election to council this November and once again as an independent candidate. “I still have a lot to offer the community and I look forward to serving the citizens of Langley on council where my voice and my vote can make a difference,” Long said. During his terms on council, Long has been a member of almost every council committee, has served as president of the Lower Mainland Local Government Association and currently represents B.C. on the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) national board.

“I certainly feel that I have contributed in many positive ways at the council table (and) my hope for the next term is that council adopt a theme of working and winning together, recognizing that Langley Township is the best place to live, work and play.” According to Long, one of the main concerns facing Langley is transportation. “Connecting our communities is a real challenge, so we must be diligent to continue to fight for improved public transit, and make our urban centres ‘pedestrian friendly,’” he says. Another area of concern he notes is the growth of government. “As a business person I understand that you must make the best use of your resources, especially your staff,” he said. Long, a resident of Aldergrove, was president of the Langley Chamber of

Cable theft cuts service Staff Writer

About 2,000 Aldergrove customers and two wireless sites left without service by a weekend cable theft. Telus said about three cables about 200 metres long were ripped out near 271 Street and 16 Avenue around 4 to 5 a.m. Saturday (Oct.

15). Service was restored by 10:30 p.m. Saturday. Telus said while two of the cables were copper the third was fibreoptic and therefore worthless on the scrap metal market. RCMP and Telus Security are investigating the theft and are asking anyone who witnessed suspicious activity at the site to contact police.

Accompanied by Phyllis McNeal, her late motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longtime campaign manager, Petrina Arnason signed her nomination papers on Friday, to become a candidate for Township councillor. The event took place at the Civic Facility, chosen as both a personal and historical link to Arnasonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, former councillor Muriel Arnason who stepped down in 2005. McNealâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence elicited a quick walk down memory lane to the time when Muriel Arnason first decided to run in the Township as an alderman.At that time the elder Arnason declared that council was unabashedly an â&#x20AC;&#x153;old boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s club,â&#x20AC;? and very few expected her to win.

Little return on the CREDIT treaty investment BUSTER!! F

inally, somebody in the B.C. treaty negotiation system has come out and said it. Releasing the B.C. Treaty Commission’s 19th annual report last week, Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre announced she has asked for a one-year extension to her term, to see the organization through its second decade. And if things don’t change, particularly in Ottawa, then “shut ’er down.” The commission is the independent “keeper of the process,” and the chief commissioner is appointed by agreement between the federal and provincial governments and B.C.’s First Nations Summit. Its job is to facilitate talks and dole out funds to aboriginal groups researching and negotiating treaties. As of this year, they have disbursed $500 million, $400 million of it loans that must be repaid out of treaty settlements. “We are 19 years into the process, and we have, just on the First Nations side, a half a billion dollar investment, and when are we going to start seeing a return on that investment?” Pierre asked. It’s safe to assume that there has been at least that much spent by the federal and provincial governments as well. And after a burst of progress with the Tsawwassen and Maa-Nulth treaties, and a controversial deal with the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon, costly inaction resumed. Sliammon First Nation negotiators finalized a treaty in 2009. Off it went to Ottawa, where it has languished ever since, waiting for a set of initials that would allow a ratification vote

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to breeding a champion pigeon than one would think. Beyond providing them with food and a clean enclosure, you have to be able to spot the characteristics that make a winner. Grant Lunggren would know. He has been raising pigeons for 70 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more to it than just good feed and lots of practice. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the birds with the drive to get home that make it far,â&#x20AC;? he said. Lunggren received his first pigeon at the age of five and has been a fan of the birds ever since. With 100 pigeons nestled on his one-acre property in Langley, he continues to race them today. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Guys that are in it that had them when they were kids, they seem to never lose the interest in them,â&#x20AC;? he said.

That’s far faster than driving a car. “In the Okanagan I would put them in a 650 mile race. And one year up there we had them home from 650 miles in a little over 10 hours. It would take you a day and a half to drive there,” he said. But many of them never make it home. With hawks and falcons preying on them from above, usually the pigeons with the odd colouring or spots are weeded out right away. “These days you want to breed as much as you can so they don’t have a white patch on their back,” said Lunggren. “Because when they are flying in the group, if there’s a white one, and a falcon is above, he’s got something to aim at. So if the club starts out shipping 100 pigeons, and there are 10 white ones in there, after a few races there will be no more white ones.” But above the physical characteristics of a bird, to breed a winner you have to strategically play on their emotions as well.

This will motivate him to fly home very quickly. “You can see signs in a pigeon that says. ‘oh this one is just superb and will win the race,’ but the same signs can be in a dud that won’t even get home. You just need one that has got the real drive to get home. The real ‘I don’t like it out here, I’m going.’”

After a lifetime as a pigeon fancier and with many races won, Lunggren says that one of the most exciting moments for him was when his pigeon set a new record. “For 70 years or more they’ve been trying to fly from Edmonton into the Lower Mainland, and I had the first pigeon to do it,” he said. “That was 1972, and only a dozen have done it since.”

able,” said director Gayle Martin, chair of Metro Vancouver’s Parks Committee. “Restoration of the creek bed offers potential for young fish to develop in an area that hasn’t been available for years.” The banks have been narrowed and reinforced and new gravel has been added to create a reasonable grade for small fish to navigate the creek. A new fish-friendly culvert has been installed in order to allow fish passage further upstream. The shrubs added by the Starbucks crew will help stabilize the creek banks and provide shade.

Creek plantings add to enhancement Donning rubber boots and gloves, baristas and servers from various Starbucks outlets in Langley volunteered their time last week to plant 100 native shrubs along a newly enhanced section of Tanaka Creek in Aldergrove Lake Regional Park. Enhancement of the creekwas undertaken as part of a project to replace a failing culvert, correct widening of the creek caused by erosion, people and dogs over the years, and to create additional rearing habitat for coho salmon and cutthroat trout. “Replacement of the culvert has opened up a section of the creek that was previously impass-

In addition, in the spring of 2011, she worked as a Faculty Associate in the Simon Fraser University education faculty, supervising student teachers. “Our district has so much potential, and yet morale amongst educators and parents is at an all-time low. Imagine what we could achieve together in this district under fresh and bold leadership at the board table,” said Johnson. “If parents,educators,students, and community members were invited to participate in newlycreated district committees (the norm in most other districts), if the board treated its partner groups as allies instead of adversaries, if we had trustees willing to debate openly about their honestly-held views and they invited the public to participate in that discussion, just imagine how much better we could be doing in our school district.” Johnson, a resident of Walnut Grove for the past 23 years, is running for one of the five Township seats.

Back-in parking introduced City changing configuration on Douglas Crescent BRENDA ANDERSON Times Reporter

Beginning next week, reverse lights and a flashing indicator on the vehicle ahead will signal something a little different than most Langley drivers are accustomed to. On Sunday, Oct. 23 (weather permitting) the City will implement back-in angle parking along both sides of Douglas Crescent, between 204 and 206 Streets. For at least the next six months, the City is replacing parallel parking spaces along the street with back-in angle parking stalls. For some drivers, it will be a steep learning curve, acknowledged the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chief engineer. Gary Vlieg said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a change that will be intimidating for many drivers at the outset, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident it will catch on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pilot project. We expect headaches at first,â&#x20AC;? said Vlieg.â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfamiliar, and people have to get used to it.â&#x20AC;? The experiment will last a minimum of six months, he said, during which time the City will welcome feedback from drivers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Toward mid-2012 weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll touch

base with business owners and ask them, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;what have you heard?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? The City took three main factors into consideration when it decided to introduce back-in angle parking along a busy downtown street (currently, it is in place in a parking lot which links the Fraser Highway one-way and 56 Avenue.) â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ease of use, safety and additional parking are the big drivers,â&#x20AC;? said Vlieg. Angle parking will provide a greater number of spaces and back-in angle is easier for people with neck and mobility issues, Vlieg said. The medical building at the corner of 206 Street and Douglas is frequented by older residents, and back-in angle parking â&#x20AC;&#x153;is recognized as being â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;senior friendly,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he added. Pulling forward out of the spaces is safer and easier than backing out Vlieg said, noting there have been numerous cases of near misses or cars getting clipped backing out of spaces. Mike Thomas, manager of engineering services for the City, said that as a parent, the big thing for him is that car doors open toward the sidewalk. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With small kids, if they dart out, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll dart toward the curb.â&#x20AC;? Then there is the practical aspect, Vlieg said, of simply providing more spaces for shoppers to park.

The City is looking for ways to recover spaces that were lost when the Serenade condominium complex was built on a former parking lot next to Douglas Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The business community identified a shortage of parking â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly right in front of their businesses. The closer (customers) can park to the door the happier they are,â&#x20AC;? he said. As unfamiliar a system as it is to Langley drivers, back-in angle parking is commonplace in other parts of the world. Thomas, an Australian, says it has been the standard in his homeland since the 1980s. Closer to home, it has also been in place in New Westminster for some time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our understanding is theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very happy with it,â&#x20AC;? said Vlieg. Back-in parking creates a calmer urban environment, the men say, though North America has been slow to embrace it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The model for the past 20 or 30 years has been the big box (store) with a lagoon of parking around it,â&#x20AC;? said Thomas. If the pilot project is successful, the City may look to expand back-in angle parking to other areas of the downtown. Brochures detailing the changes and explaining how to properly park in a reverse-angle space, are available through the City and at downtown businesses.

‘Addictive regulars’ frequent market Farmers Market closes for season, but will re-open for pair of Christmas Markets next month NATASHA JONES Times Reporter

Despite the rain that was falling when the third Langley Farmers Market wrapped up on Oct. 5, merchants and customers were enthusiastic about the market, and eager for the start of the fourth year starting in May. But before then, vendors and shoppers can look forward to two Christmas Markets. They will be held on Saturday, Nov. 19, and Saturday, Dec. 10, both at Darvonda Nurseries on 216 Street in Milner. The main focus of the farmers market is to encourage people to buy locallygrown fruit and vegetables and locally produced foods, including pies and fudge, cheeses, honey, pickles and salsa. But it doesn’t stop there. Throughout the summer there are vendors selling jewelry, candles, soap and other merchandise. While the market promotes local agriculture and more sustainable agricultural practices, not all the produce is organic. Kim Heuring is the market’s manager. Before she begins planning for next May’s opening, she will travel to Central America learning hands-on about sustainable farming practices. Next year’s market promises to be larger still, with the organizers hoping

to bring on artists of different genres, including painters and photographers. As customers left with bags laden with purchases, vendors were smiling. “We have very addictive regulars,” said Laurie Willgress of Sweet Thea, makers of delectable tarts, fruit photos Natasha JONES/Langley Times pies, cookies and granola bars, and Above left: Kim Heuring manages the Langley Farmers Market which wrapped the giant cake that was offered to customers to mark the last day of this up its 2011 season on Oct. 5.

Permit values steady Building permit values in the Lower Mainland-Southwest region held steady in August and are up year-to-date, according to Vancouver Regional Construction Association’s analysis of the latest Statistics Canada building permit report released earlier this month. Total building permit values in the region edged up four per cent to $600.8 million in August from $577.7 million in July 2011. Nonresidential permit values fell back 29 per cent to $163 million from $229.3 million during the same period, while the value of residential permits rose 26 per cent to $437.9 million from $348.4 million. “Overall, building permit values in the Lower Mainland-Southwest region were up eight per cent this year compared to last year,” said Keith Sashaw, president of the Vancouver Regional Construction Association. “This reinforces confidence in the local economy and the overall growth underway.” Total building permit values in the Lower Mainland-Southwest region rose eight per cent to $4.23

billion in the first eight months of this year compared to $3.92 billion in the same period last year. Nonresidential permits were up 23 per cent to $1.41 billion from $1.15 billion. Residential permit values rose to $2.82 billion, up two per cent. “We aren’t concerned about the monthly declines in non-residential permits; the August drop-off in commercial permits following a substantial jump in July was the main reason behind the decline,” says Sashaw. “Monthly volatility is a strong feature of building permits and total non-residential permits were 23 per cent higher in the first eight months of this year compared to the same period last year.” Gains in Metro Vancouver’s industrial permits are also a sign of an improving market, says VRCA. Industrial permits are on track for a substantial rise this year and the first annual increase since 2006. Seasonally adjusted total building permits in Metro Vancouver slipped five per cent to $494.1 million seasonally adjusted in August 2011 compared to $519.7 million in July.

The Spartans dropped to 0-3 on the season. Thompson Rivers scored three power play goals in each game. “We’ve had the same game every week so far it seems,” said Spartans coach Dwayne Lowdermilk. “It’s about discipline and direction as to where we want to be. “Each guy has to learn to play with each other; it’s a full team game, it’s not about ‘me.’” “We started taking penalties that were about ‘me.’” For more, go to www.langleytimes. com.

MVP Weigl leads way for Spartans Laurelle Weigl is already making her presence felt on the basketball court for the Trinity Western Spartans. The transfer from Simon Fraser University had an MVP performance as the Spartans women’s basketball team won the University of Manitoba’s Shoot for the Cure Invitational tournament in Winnipeg over the weekend. Weigl finished the three games with 42 points, 25 rebounds, 10 assists, five steals and four Cheryl Jean-Paul blocks. spartans coach She is a three-time CIS national champion — including a CIS MVP — and Canadian national team member. “(She) understands how to win and is a great basketball player who wants to change our culture,” said Spartans coach Cheryl Jean-Paul. The Spartans won the final game 74-61 over the Winnipeg Wesmen.They earlier defeated the Manitoba Bisons 66-58 and the Lakehead Timberwolves 72-57. Holly Strom led the team in scoring, averaging 18.3 points per game. “The word of the weekend was control and understanding our talent and how to control the game,” said Jean-Paul, whose team is coming off a 3-21 season. Trinity Western turned a tight, two-point game into a 13-point victory, thanks to a 21-10 advantage in the game’s final 10 minutes. “(This) game was a great reflection of who we’re trying to become,” Jean-Paul said. “It was fun to watch the fruits of all the hard work the athletes have been putting into their on-court development and into believing in themselves and our program,” she said. “For the Spartans women’s basketball team to win a tournament and give themselves tangible proof that they have the ability to succeed is monumental for our continued progress into the regular season. “We are happy with the results but know that for us to be successful we still have a lot of work to do and a lot of growing together., but these are the steps in the right direction that we want to take.” The Canada West regular season begins Nov. 4.

“(This) game was a great reflection of who we are trying to become.”

Rivermen find offence

GARY AHUJA Times Sports

After scoring just 15 times in their first eight games, the Langley Rivermen broke out in a big way Saturday night. The junior A hockey club pumped in a season-high seven goals in a 7-1 rout of the visiting Alberni Valley Bulldogs at the Langley Events Centre. The victory came on the heels of a 5-1 loss to the Victoria Grizzlies, also at the LEC. The offensive explosion comes as a welcome relief. “It is good that little black thing got in the back of the net for us a few times,” admitted coach Steve O’Rourke. “Getting the seven (goals) starts putting a little bit more relief in the back of your mind. “We are doing things better and better each time we are on the ice, in practice and in games. It is a process, it is going to take time.” Part of the problem has been playing a glut of good goaltenders: six of Langley’s in games have been against either

Langley Rivermen’s Matt Esposito shields the puck from Victoria Grizzlies’ Cam Lawson during the Grizzlies 5-1 victory on Friday. Langley bounced back to win 7-1 over Alberni Valley on Saturday. Powell River of Surrey, the top two teams in the conference. Even the games this past weekend are misleading, the coach said. The scoreboard read 5-1 for Victoria, but the game was closer than that. “It’s funny how the game goes, we only gave up 10 chances and they scored on five of them,” O’Rourke said. Langley held Victoria to less than 30 shots

despite surrendering 11 power-plays, with the Grizzlies scoring three times on the man advantage. Against Alberni Valley, the Rivermen allowed 42 shots and seven power plays, but only one goal, which came at even strength. Goalie Michael Barr had a 42-save performance and Darnell Dyck scored twice. The Rivermen are at home on Saturday against Powell River at

Late goal earns draw in battle of top teams An intense 90 minutes solved nothing as two of the country’s top teams battled to a 1-1 draw. Sarah-Kim Bergeron scored in the 80th minute to give the Spartans women’s soccer team a 1-1 draw with the UBC Thunderbirds on Saturday at Vancouver’s Thunderbird Park. “Very pleased that we came away from the game with a point,” said Trinity Western coach Graham Roxburgh. “(It) probably would have been an injustice had we lost. “But all credit to UBC, they defended very well. We had some very good performances and as a team, we showed a lot of character to battle back, stay patient and generate chances when UBC was defending desperately.”

Trinity Western (8-1-1, 25 points) moved up to second in the country while UBC (7-1-2, 23 points) now sits fourth. They also sit first and third, respectively, in the Canada West standings, with the Alberta Pandas (8-2-0, 24 points) sandwiched in between. On the tying goal, Nikki Wright played a high bouncing ball behind the UBC defence and Bergeron won the race to it. She then chipped the ball over the charging UBC keeper to even the score. The Spartans are at home at Rogers Park for a pair of games, Friday against the Saskatchewan Huskies (5-3-2, 17 points) and Saturday versus Alberta (8-2-0, 24 points). With four games remaining, Trinity Western is five points away from clinching

a post-season berth. ••••• Shawn Parkes’ late goal lifted the Trinity Western Spartans to a 2-1 victory on Sunday at Abbotsford’s Bateman Park. The Spartans men’s soccer team was tied 1-1 with the Fraser Valley Cascades when Parkes struck for the winner with less than four minutes remaining. “Overall, it was a fair result based on the quality of chances that we got,” said Trinity Western coach Pat Rohla. Trinity Western had lost 3-2 the day before in Victoria to the Vikes, so the three points they earned against Fraser Valley improved them to 5-3-2 and 17 points and fourth place in the Canada West standings with four games remaining. The top four make the post-season.

Daniel Lowen opened the scoring in the 27th minute, and after Fraser Valley tied it in the 71st minute, Parkes notched the winner for the Spartans. Trinity Western keeper Andrew Kowan finished with three saves in his first game of the season. Against Victoria, the Vikes scored twice in a five-minute span late in the contest to break a 1-1 tie. Spencer Schmidt, in the 21st minute, and Cody Strelau, in injury time, had the Spartan goals. The Spartans are at home this weekend, facing the Saskatchewan Huskies (4-4-2, 14 points) on Friday and the Alberta Golden Bears (5-2-3, 18 points) on Saturday. Both matches are at Rogers Park on the TWU campus. FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice
