Abbotsford, Langley talk partnership

By KEVIN MILLS and NATASHA JONES Aldergrove Star

The Kensington Prairie Farm in Aldergrove brought in professional shearer Dave Carlson of Fort McLeod, Alberta, to harvest the wool of their 80 alpacas on Friday. Farm owner Catherine Simpson will be sorting and carding the wool, to be for sale at the farm store, 1736 - 248 Street. For information call 604-626-4395.

Airborne driver airlifted to hospital Black Press

A 51-year-old Abbotsford man was airlifted to hospital after his Honda veered into oncoming traffic, jumping a curb, shearing off a power pole before hitting the side of a building in Aldergrove last Wednesday afternoon.

According to Langley RCMP, the single vehicle crash took place around 3:45 p.m., April 18. Witnesses say the Honda was being driven westbound in the 27300-

block of Fraser Highway when it suddenly veered into the eastbound lanes.

“Witnesses say the vehicle continued to veer left,” said police spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks.

The vehicle jumped the curb and became airborne, she said. That’s when it made contact with a pole, cutting it in half.

The vehicle continued on, slamming into a building.

All emergency crews responded to

the terrible crash. The man was unconscious when paramedics arrived. His current condition isn’t known. Police don’t believe alcohol played a role and are trying to determine if the crash was due to a medical emergency.

Langley RCMP’s crash investigation team were called in and police will also check for any mechanical failure as the possible cause.

No other people were injured.

The Township of Langley should seriously consider pulling out of Metro Vancouver Regional District and TransLink, and think about closer ties with Abbotsford, Mayor Jack Froese said on April 18.

And Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman would welcome a chance to discuss a partnership with his neighbour to the west.

Abbotsford has been told by the province that it cannot leave the Fraser Valley Regional District, as it has requested. Instead, the city was given the option to stay with the FVRD or find other communities willing to join them to create a new regional district.

The Langley mayor’s statement has created an opportunity for discussion.

Froese’s comment came after TransLink announced it would postpone expansion plans south of the Fraser River, sounding for now the death knell of a rapid bus service from the new park and ride at 200 Street and 86 Avenue to the Lougheed Mayors Jack Froese and Bruce BanSkyTrain station. man are talking about creating a When the news was annew regional district. nounced, Froese said that confirmed the township’s worst fears.

“The mayors’ council has done an about-face from what they voted for last year,” Froese said.

“Langley Township and other communities on this side of the river support TransLink by paying for services that benefit all other areas of the Lower Mainland. But when it comes to our turn, we have the rug pulled out from under us.”

Froese is a member of the newly formed South of the Fraser Mayors’ Committee, which is working to obtain the transportation infrastructure needed by its member municipalities to focus attention on the area’s unique transportation needs. He was one of three mayors from south of the Fraser River to oppose the vote.

Froese confirmed he has been talking to Mayor Banman about the feasibility of forging closer ties.

“It’s something that doesn’t hurt looking at,” Froese said.

Banman also confirmed that some “very informal” discussions have taken place. He said it makes sense to talk to Langley which, “has some rights to be unhappy with Metro.”

Banman feels it is his job to examine all the options available to Abbotsford. The only one he won’t examine is joining Metro.

Pressure builds for ‘adieu’ to Metro FROM FRONT: “That’s not going to happen while I’m sitting in the chair.”

Another option, according to Banman, could be to make the FVRD bigger by adding Langley.

He wants to have a discussion, confirm the data and then hold a public forum to see what the communities want.

“I’m sure that the residents of Langley would be thrilled to reduce their gas tax by 17 cents a litre,” said Banman.

He said Mission would also be welcome to take part in the discussions.

There is nothing wrong with talking, he said. “It’s called planning.”

Township councillor Kim Richter has added her voice to the dissatisfaction with Metro and will table a motion to expidite leaving the regional district at Township’s May 2 meeting.

Richter says her motion will mean the Township will “... explore the option, or that we support the option of creating a South Fraser Regional District and that we initiate discussions with the other municipalities who are South of the Fraser as to whether they would be interested and willing to participate as well.”

Richter says those districts might include Abbotsford, Surrey, Delta, White Rock, the City of Langley, and Richmond.

Richter says residents in the Township have had enough and are tired of footing the bill for services benefitting others in the region.

“I hear regularly from members of the Township that are fed up with always being the low person on the totem pole, which is exactly what is happening to us.”

Old Friends Lend a Helping Hand

Mark Stockbrocks’ old high school rugby buddies were among the hundreds who turned out for Sunday’s family fund-raiser at the Catholic Church in Aldergrove. Mark, a 1997 ACSS graduate, was also on the boys’ rugby team which won the provincial high school championship that year. Mark suffered a cerebral haemorrage while attending the Grey Cup game last fall and survived thanks to immediate intervention by health professionals, however, his left side remains paralyzed. He is making progress at G.F. Strong rehabilitation centre but doctors say it will be a long road back to full recovery. The fund-raiser will help pay for renovations to his Aldergrove home to make it wheelchair-accessible.

Trolley plans stuck Farmers spur ‘common sense’ at DFO

By NEIL CORBETT

By NATASHA JONES Black Press

Earlier this year, Township council approved giving $2,500 to help the Aldergrove Trolley Association set up a business plan as it embarked on bringing a unique and much-needed transportation service to the town.

Run by the ATA, a non-profit corporation, a trolley bus would provide commuters, shoppers and workers, with links to areas where service is scant or nonexistant. Stops would include Gloucester Estates, Greater Vancouver Zoo, Pioneer Park on 0 Avenue (home to 450 residents), and the town’s two main shopping areas.

However, the trolley bus’ engine is still idle, stalled by a difference of opinion regarding

terms of reference. The business plan is still up in the air.

Council voted on Monday to refer the issue to staff for an update from the ATA on the status of the business case analysis.

Not for the first time, council expressed annoyance at TransLink, which is dragging its feet on a market research plan that would gauge potential ridership.

The Township has frequently voiced concern over the lack of service to Aldergrove, including the large employment centre of Gloucester Estates.

“The report from TransLink is long overdue,’ said Councillor Bob Long. Council agreed with his motion that calls on staff to contact the transportation authority about the ridership study.

Apparently, farmers who protested the Department of Fisheries Oceans office in Vancouver on Tuesday were heard, and can expect to see changes.

“Fisheries and Oceans Canada wants to adopt a common-sense approach that focuses on the effective management of Canada’s fisheries and fish habitat,” said a

spokesperson from Fisheries Minister Keith Ashfield’s office through a press release issued Thursday.

Led by the Canadian Taxpayer’s Federation, farmers protested DFO regulations and setbacks that they say takes productive land away from their farms.

“Canadians have told us they find our rules indiscriminate, confusing and far-reaching and our government has

been clear that we are looking at making much-needed changes to these policies,” said the DFO, in a response that was issued almost 48 hours after the protest.

The DFO acknowledged that under the current system, drainage ditches, culverts and irrigation channels are subject to the same rules as productive waterways that support fish and local fisheries.

“Government resources are not limitless; it does not make sense to expend resources to evaluate areas where there is little to no productivity in the same way we evaluate areas where fish live, grow and reproduce,” said the release.

“We want the rules to reflect the priorities of Canadians and focus on the protection and conservation of Canada’s fisheries.”

Whooping cough cases rise in Fraser Valley Black Press

More than 255 cases of whooping cough have now been confirmed in the Fraser Health region since an outbreak began in early December.

Health officials say 45

new cases have been detected since the beginning of March.

Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder is continuing to urge adults to get a free vaccination against the pertussis (whooping cough) bacteria.

More than 30,000 vaccine doses have been distributed to pharmacies and doctors’ offices.

The outbreak started in the eastern Fraser Valley but recent cases have been reported in almost all com-

munities in the Fraser Health region.

“We continue to see new cases and urge anyone who has or expects to have contact with infants and young children to get vaccinated,” Van Buynder said.

The lake in Aldergrove Lake Park, one of the community’s most popular summer attractions, dried up a year ago, and a water feature to replace it is unlikely, Councillor Bob Long advised council April 16.

Long, who represents the Township on the Metro Vancouver environment and parks committee, said that the committee will receive a report on plans to replace the lake at its May 2 meeting.

“There is no question that the water feature is not going to be coming back,” Long commented, after being quizzed by Councillor Charlie Fox on options for the lake.

In March, 2011, Metro Vancouver parks board decided to drain the lake.

The man-made facility, nestled in a forest clearing, had drawn families from all over Langley and

Abbotsford for more than 50 years.

“I don’t think there is any turning back from the decision,” Long said.

“The pool cannot be upgraded and would need to be completely redesigned and rebuilt to meet current standards,” Metro Vancouver Parks committee chairman Gayle Martin said at the time.

Under B.C. Public Health Act regulations which came into effect in October, 2010, the lake at Aldergrove Lake Park met the definition of a public swimming pool and would have required an operating permit to re-open.

Metro Van was unable to obtain a permit.

The beach, picnic areas, trails and washrooms remain, and a report for the committee is expected to spell out plans for the area the lake occupied.

Metro Van held public meet-

ings to give the public the opportunity to comment on the future of the 280 hectare Aldergrove Lake Regional Park.

Major stumbling blocks to building a similar facility are cost and the lack of water in the area.

There is no municipal water in the vicinity; the water in the lake came from a well.

There was consternation in the community when it became clear that the facility was in jeopardy.

“Lots of families are concerned because they do view this as a summer daytime activity location,” Fox said at the time.

“It’s a place that families can go for free, have a picnic, enjoy the water-based activities . . . and really have a good day out relatively close to the community.”

The swimming facility at Aldergrove Lake closed permanently in early 2011.

Flood risk elevated due to snowpack

By JEFF NAGEL Black Press

There’s a higher risk of flooding on the lower Fraser River this year because of heavier-than-usual snowpacks across central and northern B.C. that have been slow to melt due to a cold spring.

All the major tributary basins that feed the Fraser have above average snowpacks, and the entire watershed holds 31 per cent more snow than usual, according to the latest readings from B.C.’s River Forecast Centre.

“That is about the fifth or sixth highest reading we’ve seen for the

Fraser for this time of year,” said centre head Dave Campbell. “It’s something we see about once every 10 or 12 years.”

He said this is the second straight year of a La Nina weather pattern, which tends to cause cool and wet weather in late winter and spring, bolstering snowpacks.

Some parts of the watershed are actually at record snow levels – the Nechako is 65 per cent above normal and the upper Fraser basin is 52 per cent higher than usual. Those basins supply a third of the flow that comes to the Fraser Valley.

Whether high water actually

threatens to top Fraser River dikes will depend heavily on spring weather patterns in May and June and how quickly all that snow upcountry melts and flows downstream.

Campbell said a worst case scenario would be continued cool weather for several weeks followed by a heat wave, especially if heavy rains are added to the mix. The best scenario would be seasonal temperatures and dry weather for the rest of the spring. The long-term forecasts suggest B.C. is in for dry but hotter than normal conditions later in the spring.

A celebration of nature that has become a Langley Township tradition will mark a special anniversary in a very appropriate place.

The 10th Annual Community Arbour Day celebration will be held at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 29, at Williams Park.

Located at 68 Avenue and 238 Street, Williams Park is known for its lush greenery and beautiful scenery, and is a showcase for the many ways that trees contribute to the environment and the wellbeing of the community.

“More than 60 varieties of trees are planted there,” said Township Manager of Parks Design and Development Al Neufeld.

It all started over a conversation between two Langley Quilters’ Guild members, discussing the tea room for their upcoming quilt show.

Shelley Gawley, who is in charge of the tea room, was describing how she likes to use old teapots as planters. Eileen Leahy, who had most of her things in storage, offered up her teapots, to Shelley’s delight.

Eileen searched her crowded storage locker and was dismayed to not be able to find them.

Embarrassed, but undaunted and determined, she decided to haunt local Langley thrift stores and second hand stores to find some, but came up with only three.

Dismayed after her promise to Shelley, Eileen decided it was time to call in her “posse.”

“I made phone calls to my friends, and when I explained my dilemma (no one was surprised), the hunt was on from Cloverdale To Fort Langley to Abbotsford.”

The Tea Pot Caper was a success, however, as Eileen was able to present Shelley and the Langley Quilters’ Guild with 14 teapots.

Eileen began quilting about six years ago, inspired by a quilting friend. She has instead inspired Guild members, with her generosity of spirit and determination and kindness.

VICTORIA – NDP victories in two byelections bring the standings in the legislature to 46 B.C. Liberals, 36 NDP and three independents, one of whom has pledged allegiance to the B.C. Conservatives.

B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins put a brave face on his third-place finish in Port Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope. Even in bedrock conservative Fraser Valley farm country, in a protest byelection with a highprofile candidate, the B.C. Conservatives managed to attract just enough to deliver a landmark NDP seat.

The NDP was helped by the absence of the B.C. Green Party on the byelection ballots, with most of its five-percent support from 2009 presumably going to the winners.

Cummins said his party’s goal going into the Port Moody-Coquitlam vote, with an unknown candidate and a handful of volunteers, was to break 10 per cent. They got 15 per cent and he declared a moral victory.

Cummins rejected a possible merger with the “discredited” B.C. Liberals. Premier Christy Clark was equally emphatic that she will be the leader of the “free enterprise coalition” in the 2013 election.

So the stage is set for an NDP majority government.

What will that look like?

Well, Port Moody mayorturned-MLA Joe Trasolini has a wealth of local government experience, so pencil him in

Imagining an NDP government

as municipal affairs minister. A long-time supporter of the B.C. Liberals, Trasolini should clarify if he endorses the NDP constitution, which still opposes all profit-making activity.

He’s not the only highprofile newcomer likely to be included in an Adrian Dix cabinet.

New NDP candidates from union executive ranks will likely include long-time Hospital Employees’ Union president Judy Darcy.

She no longer talks about bringing a “Marxist analysis” to economic matters. Darcy is now best known for leading the long court battle against the B.C. Liberal government’s contract-breaking legislation of 2002.

The eventual decision of the Supreme Court of Canada basically invented a constitutional right to collective bargaining. (The high court could also ponder if there might be a right not to belong to a union, but that’s another story.)

Then there’s George Heyman, the long-time B.C. Government Employees’ Union president.

After leaving the BCGEU, Heyman has taken a turn as executive director of Sierra Club B.C., a branch plant of the U.S. enviro-machine that works against B.C. forest, mining, power and petroleum development.

These folks would be working with Stephen Howard, who went from senior positions at

the BCGEU and CUPE to his current role as Dix’s chief of staff. Dix, of course, benefited from the sudden ouster of Carole James, who made the mistake of trying to loosen big labour’s grip on the NDP and modernize some of its quaint 1930s notions.

Then we have B.C.’s thirdlargest political party, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, which has already confirmed it will continue its long campaign to replace the B.C. Liberals with the NDP next year.

Such a team brings impressive experience, but unfortunately for taxpayers, much of that experience has been in extracting money from the public treasury.

And if recent B.C. history is any guide, this fundamental conflict of interest will receive little or no media attention in the months to come.

Instead, the conventional wisdom will be that voters want “change.”

• Correction: Last week’s column referred to the 1971 Greenpeace campaign against atmospheric nuclear testing.

That protest boat was directed at a U.S. nuclear test off Alaska, not a Soviet test as stated.

Subsequent Greenpeace protests targeted the Soviet slaughter of grey whales, and the last atmospheric nuclear tests, conducted by France in the South Pacific.

Things are shaping up nicely at Aldergrove Athletic Park.

Over the years, thanks to the involvement of park user groups, the Township of Langley, the Aldergrove Rotary Club, local businesses and other organizations and levels of government, the park now boasts several natural turf fields, four baseball diamonds, tennis courts, a mountain bike park, a covered picnic area, a playground, a skateboard park, basketball courts and recently opened community gardens, among other attractions.

Brian Thomasson, who founded the Aldergrove Rotary Club in 1990 and was the first president, is working with Reid McDonald on a grant application for $100,000 on behalf of Aldergrove Youth Soccer, where he coached for 13 years, on the next phase of the park: an artificial turf playing field.

The Township has backed the project, and last week approved conversion of the practice area to turf as well.

“There’s definitely a need,” said McDonald.

“This is just starting to be a nice park. Soon, our kids won’t have to travel to the events centre in Langley for everything, with all the late hours that entails.”

Thomasson and McDonald have been involved in the park’s enhancements for years, including the Rotary Fieldhouse and the picnic shelter, due to their respective involvement in Rotary and in Aldergrove Youth Soccer.

Both men noted that each enhancement to the park means plenty of involvement on the part of the township, the provincial government, the community and those who donate time, materials and labour.

The Rotary club announced that $41,000 — what was left over from the community’s sale of Patricia Hall — would go toward the Aldergrove Athletic Park improvements.

But unforeseen costs can always arise, and the grant is not a given each year, so Thomasson and McDonald work to raise awareness and funds where they can.

Adjacent to a high school with a running track and natural turf field, Aldergrove Athletic Park is home to several sports teams and groups, including local secondary schools’ sports teams, the Aldergrove Minor Baseball Association and Aldergrove Youth Soccer.

Seniors use the trails and running track to walk, children scamper around the playground and other walk their dogs even on wet, chilly days when the playing fields aren’t in use.

“It’s nice to see it coming together,” McDonald said.

Thomasson agreed, and noted that, when all the enhancements are complete, it will be a park that Aldergrove residents will be proud to call their own.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE OLD HALLS GONE? The last of the funds from the sale of Patricia Hall are going toward Aldergrove Athletic Park and the old hall, closed for years, is up for sale again. Formerly owned and operated by a community group whose sole wish was that funds from the sale be used to benefit the community, Patricia Hall was once part of a neighbourhood south of Aldergrove — Patricia — that no longer exists. Now, it is just called South Aldergrove.

While McDonald and Thomasson are pleased the sale proceeds will benefit youth who use Aldergrove Athletic Park, both agree that no one seems to care about old community halls anymore.

“Nobody’s really interested,” said McDonald. “It’s sad but people have moved on.”

Thomasson, who noted the hall was named for Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, remembered when he was head teacher at Patricia School in 1969 and 1970.

“We used to hold the Christmas concerts there but there was no central heating, so I’d have to go two to three hours early to get the wood stove fire really going,” he said.

He also recalled that there were no flush toilets. “I’d also put a fresh ‘tree’ (air freshener) in the biff y,” he said with a smile.

“It’s too bad. Times have changed and there’s just no support to keep the old halls going. They’re all falling by the wayside.”

Trails would be for all

Editor: I am writing to correct some inaccuracies in Heather Watt’s recent letter to the editor concerning trails for Aldergrove and Campbell Valley Parks.

The Township of Langley council was asked to finance an engineering report in order to finish the South Langley Regional Trail that was approved many years ago.

Currently this trail is in place from Campbell Valley Park to 256th Street. The section that needs to be completed is from 256th Street to Aldergrove Lake Park.

Campbell Valley Park and

Aldergrove Lake Park both fall under the jurisdiction of Metro Vancouver Parks and not under the budget of the township. The trails in these parks are already in place, well used by pedestrians, dogwalkers, joggers, cyclists and equestrians. The closing of the swimming pool in Aldergrove Lake Park was a Metro Vancouver Parks decision and not related to the TOL budget process.

The reason to connect these two parks through the Township of Langley on the South Langley Regional Trail is to provide these same walkers, joggers, cyclists and eques-

trians with a recreational network in our community that enhances an active and healthy outdoor lifestyle.

I would also like to add that the local equestrian community will be working to defray some of the construction costs both through funding and volunteer work.

This same vibrant equestrian community located in the Horse Capital of B.C., brings over $100 million of economic value to this community.

Susan Chaworth-Musters, Executive & Past President, Vintage Riders Equestrian Club, Langley

RV owners protest discrimination Editor: Re: Township of Langley RV Parking Bylaw After having a well-kept and clean RV in my driveway for seven years, this year I and several of my neighbours finally came under attack from Township’s Bylaw Enforcement.

On behalf of my neighbours, I have led the campaign the challenge the existing bylaw. It has been to no avail. Despite presentations to council and bylaw enforcement there is no will or desire on anyone’s part to revisit the issue.

I have asked several times of both council members and

bylaw enforcement the intent of the bylaw: what problem is it supposed to address? I have been told consistently that it was to address the issue of RV owners forced to park their cars in the street, or others who partially blocked the sidewalk.

This is a problem on certain areas of Langley, but not all. We have none of those issues in my area. The Township has adopted a one size fits all approach, that attempts to rectify a perceived problem. It is particularly frustrating in that there are five RVs on my street still, that are not in compliance with the bylaw, yet they are untouched by bylaw en-

forcement as there has been no complaint against them.

Bylaw enforcement is happy to drive by a non-compliant property on its way to an offending one. At this time, I am requesting that all RV owners in the Township of Langley that have been affected by this to contact me, so we can organize our efforts. I am also requesting the support of all RV dealers, as this would certainly be in their best interest. If you would like to join the campaign for a fair and reasonable RV Parking bylaw, please contact me at: albalogh@gmail.com Al Balogh, Aldergrove

It’s time to build south of the Fraser

Editor: I find it funny that TransLink had an opportunity to participate in ‘if you build it, they will come’ for the Canada Line, but stepped out due to a downturn in the economy in 2008. The developers continued with the line and as we now know, they are going make a killing with the development of condos and various other forms of residential and commercial development along that line. Of course, we all know that the real plan for the Canada Line was to cause interest and invite development along the line, but let’s put that aside for the moment.

Why is it that Translink can’t see the forest for the trees and build a transit system that supports those of us South of the Fraser. Again, ‘if you build it they will come’. Yes, if we have a good transportation system available to us, then more of us would use it, thus allowing for development and financial support. Look at Gloucester Estates in Aldergrove. I’m sure that they built with the expectation that they would have services, but instead, they have been ‘almost begging’ for some sort of transit support for their employees.

Many large businesses and probably even more small businesses put up the front money and lived with initial losses only to find that once their services were in place the paying public embraced them and they flourished.

It’s time that Translink stopped catering to those people living North of the Fraser, a large number of whom can actually ‘walk’ to where it is that they have to go, and start focussing on the rural areas where a transit system is truly needed.

Cell Towers: Regulation and Processes The federal government, through Industry Canada, is responsible for regulating radiocommunication. This includes approving each site on which radio apparatus, including antenna systems such as cell phone towers, may be located, based on Industry Canada’s general and specific technical requirements.

In exercising its mandate, Industry Canada believes that it is important that antenna systems be deployed in a manner that considers local surroundings. In this regard, Industry Canada requires proponents of cell towers to follow local government policies with respect to public notification.

In the Township of Langley, local requirements are contained in the Telecommunications Tower Master Plan Policy, which requires proponents to hold a community consultation meeting as part of the public consultation process. Residents with questions or comments about the proposed tower can make their views known through this public consultation process. Public input obtained by the proponents at the meeting is passed on to Township staff, for presentation to Township Council.

Council does not have the authority to approve or reject cell tower applications. Council’s ability is limited to either objecting or not objecting to such installations in its referrals to Industry Canada.

Council does not have legislated authority to do anything else.

Should Council have no objection to the proposed installation, the proponent will be permitted by Industry Canada to proceed, subject to compliance with their requirements. In the event that Council expresses objections that are considered by Industry Canada to be relevant and the proponent still wishes to proceed with an installation, Industry Canada will make a final decision as to whether to: • approve the application; or • reject the application; or

Cadets take top prize Aldergrove Star

On Thursday, April 19, the Navy League of Canada’s Central Fraser Valley Branch, along with the officers and instructors, held a short recognition ceremony for the NLCC 125 Columbia 2012 Drill Team at their Cadet Training Centre in Aldergrove.

NLCC 125 Columbia has cadets from Mission, Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Langley and surrounding areas. The 10 cadets that formed the 2012 NLCC 125 Columbia Drill Team broke the dry streak by winning the Top Drill Team of the Navy League of Canada British Columbia Mainland Division competition on Sunday, April 15, for the first time in 26 years.

They also started a family tradition for the Hessions, as the current drill instructor Sherri Hession was a cadet in the 1986 drill team that brought the trophy home the last time. Now her daughter, as a member of the 2012 drill team, helped bring the trophy back home.

The drill team consists of CI Sherri Hession

(Drill Instructor), CI Bob Dewit (Asst. Drill Instructor), Petty Officer 2nd Class Henderson, K. (Drill Commander) ( Abbotsford), Petty Officer 2nd Class Lucas, B. (Mission), Leading Cadet Hession, S. (Langley), Petty Officer 2nd Class Bell, M. (Aldergrove), Petty Officer 2nd Class Dewit, A. (Langley), Leading Cadet Bakes, A. (Langley), Leading Cadet McKim, C. (Aldergrove), Ordinary Cadet Bot, T ( ), Petty Officer 2nd Class Leonard, O. (Abbotsford), Petty Officer 2nd Class Baker, A. (Langley) President David L.Landry summed it up by stating, “As President I am overwhelmed, seeing our cadets reach the top. Three years ago we had ten navy league cadets, today we are pushing nearly 50 cadets.

Our corp is growing and showing pride.”

To see the NLCC 125 Columbia Cadet Corp in action and be part of the “Battle of The Atlantic” memorial and remembrance ceremony with participants from Chilliwack through to

Aldergrove Star

FreeClothingBC, an organization started by six big hearted people, is having its first of many events across the Fraser Valley on April 28.

The organization, which is a breakaway from several other not-for-profit organizations, aims to provide free clothing, shoes and household items to the less fortunate in communities from Abbotsford to Surrey, and is growing rapidly in 2012.

In the last three short months, they’ve already secured storage through a generous donation by Aldergrove Mini Storage, and several other smaller donations and in-kind supports from companies around the Langleys.

The first event will be at Aldergrove’s Calvary Baptist Church on Fraser Highway in the downtown core where there’s significant need. The event will run from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. this Saturday and no one will be turned away, and no questions asked.

“Our storage unit is overflowing” says Daniel Deyette. “We’ve got so much to giveaway, it’s overwhelming. We need the event as much as the people coming do.”

Typical items one might expect to find at an FCBC event include clothing for all ages from baby to adult, shoes, toys, books, bedding, baby needs, household goods and more. Anyone looking to find more information can visit the website at www.freeclothingbc.com or call 604-856-9505.

Totem rugby boys win Langley Shield Aldergrove Star

On a beautiful day at Aldergrove Community Secondary School, friends and family witnessed another hard-fought Langley Shield competition between ACSS and D.W. Poppy secondary schools junior rugby boys teams.

The Aldergrove and Poppy junior boys rugby teams demonstrated a competitive and hardfought performance for the Art Smith Langley Shield competition on Friday — a game in which the lead changed hands three times.

Aldergrove jumped ahead early, with defensive pressure turning into points after Jake Thiel went over after a blocked kick.

His twin brother, Josh Thiel

added the convert to give ACSS a 7-0 lead.

Aldergrove furthered its lead with some good attack through the back field before Pietro Romegioli crashed over for five more points.

Poppy wasted no time in bouncing right back, as hard running saw them break some tackles and narrow the lead to 12-7 through a Gino Paolella try and conversion.

Poppy continued their aggressive running and after some good forward play were rewarded with another converted try by wing Casey Wade, giving them a 14-12 lead.

Early in the second half neither team was able to break down the opposition defence until a well exe-

cuted back line play from the scrum saw Josh Thiel set himself free and score a converted try, giving Aldergrove the lead back at 19-14.

With only a five-point lead Aldergrove opted to kick for goal after a Poppy penalty at the ruck.

The successful kick meant Aldergrove extended its lead to 22-14.

Late in the game after some broken play, Josh Thiel went over in the corner for his second try.

Poppy put the pressure on late but the Aldergrove defence held on to give them the 27-14 victory.

The hard running and ability displayed by both sides looked good for the future of Langley rugby competition.

Langley FC Men’s Premier team wins Pakenham Cup Aldergrove Star

It was a long road back to winning the Pakenham cup but the Langley FC men’s premier team completed the journey. In doing so, the premier division soccer team completed one of their major goals of the 2011 -2012 season - winning the Pakenham cup trophy.

The Pakenham Cup is the “grand daddy” and oldest of soccer cups competed for in Canada. Fred Pakenham of Mission donated this exquisite silver cup for challenge competition in 1909. It was one of Pakenham’s prized possessions, having been given to the Pakenham family much earlier by King George III of England. Competition was encouraged amongst the Fraser Valley teams east of New Westminster.

After playing through preliminary rounds for several weeks and achieving two very difficult victories in the quarter finals including going to penalty kicks for a win over Peace Arch, the LFC premier team advanced to the semifinals where they played against the only unbeaten team in the FV Valley soccer league, the POCU FC, and they won again. The victory was secured by three well-timed counterattack goals from Deven Gilroy, Tyson

Keam, and James Farenhorst, and by the exceptional play of goalkeeper Colton Keam who stood on his head to make several point blank break-away saves and stop a penalty kick to preserve the win 3-1 victory, sending the team to the Pakenham Cup final game.

The Pakenham Cup final game was a very hard fought game in difficult rainy conditions between the Langley Premier men’s team against the Fraser Valley Red Devils. The Red Devils, having completed an excellent season scoring 65 goals and allowing only 20 against all season, started the contest very quickly and had three early scoring opportunities that were stopped

by Langley goalkeeper Ian Poole.

However, Poole couldn’t prevent the fourth chance and FV went up 1-0 by the 20 minute mark. After weathering the quick aggressive start and regrouping Langley replied minutes later with a very well placed corner kick ball by Tyson Keam onto the head of Lee Ellis to even up the score. The response stunned FV and before they could regroup Langley had struck again on a nice through ball from Keam putting Shaun Patterson in alone on goal and the game’s MVP made no mistake slotting the ball home,

Sure-Footed Winners

allowing Langley FC to take the lead and end the half at 2-1.

Starting the second half Langley was prepared for a very hard push back from FV and responded with strong defense and eliminated every opportunity FV had. Langley then took control of the game and put it away 20 minutes into the second half with another cross from Tyson Keam to a wide open James Farenhorst to finish off the Red Devils. Langley’s third goal deflated the FV team which had no further responses to stop Langley from winning their first Pakenham cup since 2006.

Coach Rob Keam expressed how proud he was of the team and the character they showed in the final.

“Today was a day where we wouldn’t be denied. I’m very proud of the commitment this team has shown all year in training and games week in and week out. This team has exemplified what it takes to play and be a top team at the highest level in the Province” beamed Keam after the victory.

Coach Keam is now looking forward to the provincials where he HARRY HUNT PHOTO wants to keep his team on a roll and Holy Cross Secondary’s Brittney Zacharuk (in red) leads the charge as D.W.

Heat ‘Cuts’ a huge success Aldergrove Star

The Abbotsford Heat hosted the annual Cuts for the Cure following their final regular season game on April 15 and are proud to announce that $30,000 was raised for the B.C. Cancer Foundation.

Rachel Mitchell from the B.C. Cancer Foundation said, “It’s been amazing to watch the Cuts for the Cure grow this year, knowing that all the funds raised will benefit those facing cancer right here in Abbotsford.”

Mitchell recognized the efforts of the Heat player’s wives and girlfriends, saying, “Special thanks to Aimee Laing, Ashley Irving, Lyndsey Walter and all the Abby Heat wives and girlfriends for making this possible.”

Heat Captain Quintin Laing’s wife Aimee was nearly brought to tears dur-

Abbotsford Heat goalie Leland Irving has his head shaved as part of the annual Cuts for the Cure that raised $30,000 for the BC Cancer Agency this year.

ing the event on ice as she glowed with excitement that such a terrific goal had been reached. “$30,000 was a total I never thought was possible,” said Laing, “I would really like to thank Mayor Bruce Banman for setting that total and to all the amazing donors that helped us reach it.”

“I was thrilled to be a part of this campaign,” said Banman. “My sister, my uncle and my cousin have all done battle with cancer. My sister and uncle unfortunately lost their battle, but my cousin is winning his fight, so as you can imagine, this cause is very close to my heart.”

Mayor Banman supported the event by committing his locks to the cause if the $30,000 threshold was met. The festivities started with Mayor Banman being shorn by a local businessman on the ice surface.

Laing spoke about those involved with this great effort:, “I am very fortunate to have worked alongside some of the most hard working and very dedicated women, not only Heat wives and girlfriends but also Heat staff. Cuts for the Cure started with a little idea a year ago, and to think, that just in its second year, we were able to raise $30,000 blows my mind. The city of Abbotsford has a ton of caring people with huge hearts, and I am grateful for every single one of them.”

The Abbotsford Heat face the Milwaukee Admirals in the AHL’s Calder Cup Playoffs. The Western Conference Quarterfinal (best-of-5) started in Milwaukee with the Heat winning both.

Game 3 will be hosted by Abbotsford on April 25 at the AESC. The Heat will also host Games 4 and 5 (if necessary) on Friday and Saturday.

AND IMPLEMENT COMMON RATES On April 11, 2012, the FortisBC Energy Utilities applied to the British Columbia Utilities Commission to amalgamate their natural gas utilities across the province and to implement common rates and services across their service areas starting January 1, 2014. Currently, FortisBC Energy Utilities is made up of three separate natural gas companies, operating in six service areas. The companies have their own services, service agreements (tariffs) and rates. If approved, the application would combine the three companies into one, under a single tariff, with common rates for the various regions.

This Application has different implications for customers in each service area.
