Ready for ‘The Big Shake’

Land owner defiant after 16 years of legal wrangling Black Press

Public meetings set for Bradner industrial proposal Aldergrove Star

Three public information meetings have been set to discuss a proposed industrial project in Bradner that would see 91 hectares of land removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The first meeting took place Monday, Oct. 22 at Bradner Community Hall,

with two more set in coming weeks.

Representatives from Pacific Land Group and 0903475 B.C. Ltd. will be on hand to present details of the plan and take feedback from the community.

Representatives from the city’s economic development and planning services depart-

ment will also be on hand in an observer capacity.

The next two meetings will take place on: • Tuesday, Oct. 30: 6: 30 - 8: 30 p.m. at the Matsqui Recreation Centre, in the seniors centre room, 3106 Clearbrook Rd., Abbotsford and; • Monday, Nov. 19: 7

p.m. at Abbotsford City Hall, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford.

Everyone is invited to attend. Anyone unable to come to any of these meetings can request more information by contacting Oleg Verbenkov or Christopher Correia at Pacific Land Resource Group at 604-501-1624.

Dump trucks are rolling through Bradner – as many as 150 rigs will come to a property on Marsh McCormick Road on a busy Saturday, and dump loads of fill down a steep bank. By the time the project is finished – and it has been underway for six weeks – property owner Gene Drader will have thousands of loads of clean, free fill poured into a deep ravine on his 10-acre rural property.

Assuming completion, it will be the culmination of 16 years of legal wrangling with city hall, which has not issued a permit for the current work.

Neighbours have complained about the nuisance of traffic and dust. On Oct. 1, they used their vehicles to block Bradner Road, and displayed signs that said “Local residents only,” and “The city of Abbotsford does nothing.”

Dump trucks were backed up, and eventually police ordered those blocking the road to disperse.

Drader is filling in the ravine – at a personal cost of approximately $1 million.

“I’m trying to save my land,” he said.

The project comes after some 16 years of litigation with the City of Abbotsford. He has argued in court that the city diverted water onto his property, destabilizing the slope and causing landslides.

He operates a heli-logging business, and there are three choppers and a helicopter hangar on the site. In 1996, Drader was in his office when he felt the ground shaking. It was a landslide that saw mud and trees tumble 150 metres, covering the CN Rail tracks below.

He said he lost approximately an acre of land.

Drader blamed the city, and launched legal action. In 2001, the parties reached an out-of-court settlement.

“It was settled with the understanding that I would never have a problem again,” he contends.

In 2004, more heavy rain caused flooding that damaged his driveway and caused more slippages in the ravine. Drader said the 2001 agreement contained a dispute resolution mechanism in case of such an event, but the city refused to engage in such talks.

Then 2006 saw another flooding and erosion event. The city repaired Drader’s driveway, but would not accept responsibility for slope destabilization.

Drader once again turned to the courts. He sued the city for nuisance, negligence and breach of contract.

There was a three-week trial. Drader asked for $1,288,000, including $160,000 for past damages, $578,000 for full stabilization of the slope as per his engineer’s recommendation, $500,000 in SEE: Page 3

Abbotsford Police investigate attempted home invasion Aldergrove Star

Police are investigating an attempted home invasion that occurred Tuesday night, Oct. 16 on Flagman Place in west Abbotsford.

Abbotsford Police were called to the scene at about 8:15 p.m. When officers arrived, they learned that four suspects had attempted to gain entry into the home.

Sgt. Casey Vinet said one of the suspects was armed with a gun and another carried a blunt instrument.

A resident of the home confronted the men at the front door and, after a brief physical confrontation, the suspects ran to a nearby vehicle and drove away.

The victim was not injured.

Vinet said the suspects were all wearing dark clothing and had their faces covered. The get-away vehicle is described as a white domestic mid-sized car produced sometime in the 2000s.

Vinet said police are continuing to investigate, and a motive for the attack has not been established.

Flagman Place is located just east of the AbbotsfordAldergrove border, south of Fraser Highway.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the Abbotsford Police Department at 604859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

16 Ave. to be closed for #99 construction

By NATASHA JONES Aldergrove Star

Motorists using the 16 Avenue corridor through Langley will have to take detours to bypass construction of a new Highway 99 interchange.

The Ministry of Transportation and the City of Surrey have agreed to the $24 million project. On Oct. 22, Township council was advised that the closure of 16 Avenue will be necessary during demolition of the existing underpass and installation of the new structure.

In a letter to the Township, MoT senior project manager Jay Porter said that closing 16 Avenue provides several benefits. These include a much safer worksite for drivers and workers, and reduced impact on the environment.

Furthermore, the closure of 16 Avenue, set to last between four and six months, will trim three months off the construction timetable.

Demolition is expected to begin in February or March, with completion of the interchange targeted for autumn of 2014.

In his letter to council, Porter described the new interchange design as a “tight diamond” featuring on/ off ramps on all four quadrants. It will replace the existing two-lane 16 Avenue underpass with a new six-lane structure (four lanes, plus two leftturn lanes), traffic signals at either end of the structure, and the widening of 16 Avenue to four lanes but tapering back to two.

Porter indicated that the construction of the off-ramps may provide access for traffic from Highway 99 to 16 Avenue during a portion of the closure.

Bewitching alternatives for Halloween Aldergrove Star

Halloween isn’t just about dressing up and trick-or-treating – it’s also a great opportunity to learn!

ABC Life Literacy Canada offers 10 tips, tricks & treats for the whole family to enjoy this Halloween – all in the name of learning!

1. Tell ghost stories. Make up your own stories or read a classic scary book together, like a mystery by Nancy Drew or The Hardy Boys. Reading with a child is one of the most valuable learning experiences.

2. Bake a pumpkin pie.

Teaching children how to follow a recipe is a great way to improve both reading and math skills. Let them read the instructions out loud to help measure the ingredients while making a treat for the family!

3. Research the history of Halloween and share spooky statistics!

4. Carve a pumpkin. Let the

kids trace a design in marker on the side of a pumpkin (make sure they get creative!) Then let them watch while you make the spooky carving come to life.

5. Make your own Halloween costumes. Use material from around the house to dress up in something spooky. Create a list of things you’ll need and then have a scavenger hunt to find them all.

6. Fill your house with

Halloween decorations. Check out these do-it-yourself ideas: http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/ family/halloween-decorations. htm 7. Sing Halloween songs together. “Five Little Pumpkins” and “Jack-O-Lantern” are always favourites. Check out this website for tunes and lyrics: http:// www.spookyfun.com 8. Map out your trick-ortreating route before you go.

Highlight your route on a map and show kids where your home is located!

9. Organize Halloween candy in different ways. Sort candy by shape, size, name, or even candy type, and then trade! This activity helps to reinforce basic math along with association and matching skills (and also slows down the sugar rush)!

10. Watch a scary (and kidfriendly) Halloween flick to end the night. Monsters Inc., Casper the Friendly Ghost and It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown are all family favourites!

Literacy benefits the entire family - practicing together for just 15 minutes a day has tremendous benefits for both children and parents. Whether you’re reading the newspaper or baking a cake, learning can happen at any time. Have 15 Minutes of Fun together this Family Literacy Day®, taking place on January 27, 2013.

Pair charged in string of thefts Aldergrove Star

Following a lengthy Langley RCMP investigation, charges have been laid against two Langley men, aged 73 and 30, believed to be responsible for a number of property crimes.

Langley RCMP allege that the events date back into the early part of 2011 when the younger of the two men offered to do some engine work on a truck for a friend.

In July of 2011, the ‘mechanic’ advised his friend it had been stolen and subsequently reported the theft to police.

Police say that then in March of 2012, the older man attended a local dealership and test drove a new 2012

Dodge pickup. A short time later he reported to police that he has been carjacked and the truck has been stolen.

Also in March, Langley RCMP received a report that a Caterpiller loader and a Komatsu bulldozer had been stolen from a construction site.

As Langley RCMP Street Enforcement Unit continued their investigation, they applied for and were granted a search warrant for the property occupied by both accused men in the 6600-block of 256 Street. During the search, both the loader and bulldozer were recovered, as well as the truck the ‘mechanic’ had reported stolen and keys for

the new Dodge pickup that had allegedly been carjacked.

In addition, when police arrived on the property and announced they would be executing the search warrant, the older man allegedly punched one of the officers in the face.

Roeloff Dendryver, 73, stands charged with public mischief, assaulting a peace officer and possession of stolen property.

Derek Hall, 30, is charged with theft of a motor vehicle, two counts of possession of stolen property and public mischief.

Also, the pair is charged together with theft of a motor vehicle, and two counts of possession of stolen property.

Ax aimed at ‘nuisance’ linden tree

By NATASHA JONES Aldergrove Star

It has been many years since the Township ceased planting linden trees on residential streets.

There is nothing wrong with the tree itself, but aphids that are attracted to it secrete a sap called honeydew which can cover sidewalks and turn them black. They also cover vehicles parked on driveways and the roadside.

That’s the case of the linden tree outside Richard Frost’s house in the 3200block of 264A St. On Monday, Frost told council he’s had enough. He wants the tree down and replaced with a different specimen, at the Township’s expense.

Under the Township’s nui-

sance tree bylaw, a property owner would be required to pay half the cost of removal and replacement.

Frost said that he doesn’t want to pay his share, which he said would be $1,000.

In fact, said Al Neufeld, the Township’s manager of parks design and development, Frost’s share would be $500.

The sap problem is growing worse and worse, he told council. He acknowledged that the Township’s spraying has reduced the population of aphids, but hasn’t cleared it up altogether. He noted that the nuisance is worse during the summer, when water restrictions prevent him from washing the honeydew off his family’s vehicles.

Frost, who first noticed the problem about seven years

ago, said it would have been cheaper for the Township to chop down the tree and replace it, than to continually spray it.

Neufeld said later that the Township has spent $250 on spraying the tree. This year, using new technology, parks workers injected a pesticide into the tree. It did make an improvement, he said.

At its meeting on Nov. 5, council will vote on Councillor Kim Richter’s motion that the tree be removed and replaced at taxpayer’s expense.

The motion also calls for the municipality to stop planting linden trees.

The tree is already off the Township’s list of approved trees for residential areas, Neufeld said.

Gene Drader stands on fill being dumped into a ravine on his property. He’s been battling city hall for years over slope stabilization issues.

Fill fight not over yet FROM FRONT:

aggravated and punitive damages and $50,000 for mental distress. There was also a less expensive option for stabilization, pegged at $366,000.

The city argued it has a legal right to divert road surface water into any natural creek or ravine, as per the Local Government Act. City lawyers said Drader caused the slope instability by logging the site.

The judge took 10 months to render a decision in favour of the city. It included the city’s legal costs to be paid

by Drader. He plans to appeal.

In the meanwhile, he is filling in the ravine, and his legal advice is that he isn’t breaking any laws.

Drader hired a geotechnical engineer to oversee the project, has a bulldozer on the site, and trucks come and go several times an hour. He has a street sweeper on Marsh McCormick to clean it up, and keep the dust down, at his own expense.

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman refused to comment on the lawsuit between the city and Drader, but said he should get a soil permit.

He said the city needs assurance that contaminated soils are not being dumped at the property during this “fairly massive undertaking,” and the soil permit process is a way for the municipality to track it.

Banman said Drader’s neighbours are justifiably upset, and that he should take their blockade of Bradner Road as a sign that it is time for “cooler heads to prevail.”

The mayor said the city will take legal action to make him cease and desist.

Despite a city stop-work order posted at his gate, “I’m not stopping,” Drader told Black Press.

Glen Valley forest group gets more time to buy land

By NATASHA JONES Aldergrove Star

lowland forests have persisted due to their unsuitability for development.

Those forests together with the remaining lowland forests form a network of diverse natural features, albeit interrupted by unsuitable and hostile habitats, that support many native plants and animals.

“This collective of natural features is the last refuge for animals and plans that occupy and define the ecological communities once common in the area.”

They observed that a black cottonwood, with a diameter at chest height of 1.75 metres, is one of the largest in the Township.

Ryder and Henderson said that neither had seen a species of moss and of liverwort, both typical of humid forests of the lowlands, in Langley.

VICTORIA – There was palpable disappointment among reporters when Greenpeace organizers clarified that U.S. actors Daryl Hannah and Mark Ruffalo weren’t actually going to join the sit-in against heavy oil pipeline proposals at the B.C. legislature on Monday.

I was disappointed too.

I would have liked to learn more about what a washedup mermaid and an easily confused Incredible Hulk really believe about the North American oil industry.

In the spirit of celebrity slacktivism, both sent statements of support.

To be fair, Ruffalo may still be busy searching for the “truth” about 9/11. In 2007 he declared that the official U.S. government report on the terrorist attacks was “completely illegitimate” because “buildings don’t fall down like that.”

I wonder what the relatives of those aboard the hijacked airliners think of him.

Hannah has had lots of free time since starring in the 1984 mermaid fantasy Splash.

Now she’s mostly famous for getting arrested, and she did so again in Texas on Oct. 3, standing in front of earthmoving equipment building the southern section of the Keystone XL pipeline.

It’s worth noting that the project Hannah tried to stop has the support of the Barack Obama administration.

The southern section from Cushing, Oklahoma oil storage facilities to Texas refin-

Attack of the U.S. celebrities

eries is indeed being built by the sinister foreign TransCanada Corp., but it doesn’t carry the dreaded Canadian “tar sands” oil that eco-celebrities are convinced will end life on Earth as we know it.

It’s the northern section that Obama has temporarily opposed, after fervent demonstrations such as the one in Washington DC where Hannah’s first celebrity arrest occurred in 2011.

At that time, Hannah recited the familiar talking points of the U.S. environmentalists who exclusively target Alberta.

In a new book, oil sands pioneer and Suncor founder Rick George dissects Hannah’s claims, and asks why they were reported so widely and uncritically.

Hannah claimed “the contribution to the carbon in the atmosphere is unprecedented.” George cites a Royal Society of Canada report that concludes the entire oil sands operation is responsible for five per cent of Canadian emissions.

Fossil-fuelled electricity generation is 16 per cent of Canada’s total.

Vehicles and other transportation account for 27 per cent.

“How does the oil sands contribution possibly qualify as unprecedented?” George asks.

Another Hannah quote: “I’ve been hearing about how many people have cancer that live downstream from the tar sands project.”

Canadians heard that

too, thanks in large part to an alarmist CBC documentary by David Suzuki featuring jet-set movie director James Cameron.

George describes how this allegation was made in 2006 by a doctor who claimed a cluster of rare bile cancer cases in the remote village of Fort Chipewyan, and blamed it on oil sands mining. Headlines blared around the world.

George details the Alberta Health Services study that followed, identifying three such cases in 12 years. Statistically higher, yes. A general risk, no.

Other types of cancer in Fort Chip were lower than the general population. This finding was endorsed by Australian, New Zealand, U.S. and Canadian researchers.

The doctor who diagnosed the original bile cancers admitted: “These results were based on a small number of cases – there is no cause for alarm.”

Was this news trumpeted around the world? You can guess the answer.

My point here isn’t to make fun of ill-informed celebrities.

It’s to counteract the fawning, scientifically ignorant coverage they are routinely given by the mainstream media.

And I’m not promoting the oil sands or pipelines. I’m saying they should be considered based on facts, not foolishness.

Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Andy Meinen of Abbotsford wants to get people thinking about this question: If Canadian law can be changed to allow a suffering person to have an assisted suicide, why can’t the law change to allow a person to take a drug that might save his or her life – even if that drug has not yet been approved for public use?

His wife Hanna has been battling Huntington’s disease, which is steadily diminishing her brain function. There is currently no cure.

Hanna, 39, is losing motor function, and becomes confused about where she is.

“Living with Huntington’s is hell. You’re consumed by it,” Andy says.

There has been a breakthrough. Researchers at the University of Alberta have developed a therapy that not only stops the disease, but reverses many of the effects – in mice.

The problem is that the drug must first undergo clinical trials, and then be approved for human consumption – a process that typically takes seven to 10 years.

Andy wants that fast-tracked.

“We don’t have that time. The alternative is certain death, so why not?”

Hanna knows what’s at stake.

“She understands,” he said. “It has given her hope, whereas before she was suicidal.

“If people are allowed to die, why can’t we risk living?”

The couple has launched an awareness campaign, Hanna’s Ride for Life, touring in an RV with a goal of collecting a million signatures on a petition asking the federal government to grant people the right to have experimental treatment when they have no other medical option.

Hanna was diagnosed in 2005 while the family was living in Mitchell, Ont. In August, they moved to Abbotsford, where Hanna’s family can help her.

“She often needs people around her – she needs a lot of support,” Andy said.

Dr. Simonetta Sipione of the University of Alberta said it is critical her treatment be proven non-toxic to humans during clinical trials.

She is optimistic, because a version of the drug is already in use and she is working to get to clinic trials. It will be a year or two before they are approved, and the trials themselves will take six months to a year. If there are any negative effects from the treatment, the trials are suspended.

“There is a lot of work to be done to prove the drug would be safe,” she said.

She has personal experiences similar to Hanna’s. Her father has a serious form of Parkinson’s disease.

“I would not want him (her father) to have something that would hurt him worse than the disease.”

The treatment would require a tiny pump to be surgically implanted in the brain, and would most likely have to be repeated to remain effective, and it will be expensive.

“There is a good possibility that in spite of the results in animals, it will not work in humans. We have to consider that.”

So if Township would take what they have been given by Metro and by the ALC the issue would be resolved.

Instead Township, in January, tried to piggyback the Wall property rezoning onto the University District.

The Wall property is difficult to rationalize as part of any University District. Indeed, Wall proposes high density housing south of TWU in “the middle of nowhere”.

This housing will undoubtedly be too expensive for professors, much less students.

The Wall proposal is spot zoning of the worst kind and thus appropriately lies outside the development area approved by Metro.

This “urban growth boundary” was negotiated over the last several years by regional municipalities including Township.

So by trying to slip in the Wall proposal Township has initiated a spat (and very likely a legal action) with the rest of the region.

The Metro board has voted against what Township is doing. The

Metro board, unlike the bureaucrats at Translink, is composed of mayors and councilors from Township’s neighbouring municipalities.

To make matters worse, Township, over the summer when no one was watching, dramatically enlarged their “University District” by adding a large amount of privately owned land east of TWU. This has earned them a letter from the ALC pointing out that the ALC has no intention of allowing this land out of the ALR. If Township really wanted a University District then they would take what was previously agreed to with the ALC and Metro.

Instead Township is jeopardizing the University District that was “in hand” by making proposals that can only benefit private land owners and can only put both Township taxpayers and the expansion of TWU at risk.

Frankly, I think we should expect more from the Township of Langley.

Remembrance honours past, present and future

Editor: Once again Remembrance Day will soon be upon us. A time for Canadians of all ages to remember the more than one hundred thousand fellow citizens who fought, bled and died protecting our freedoms along with the countless others who have served our country.

But Remembrance Day should not only be reserved to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It should also be a practical remembrance of the living – the disabled Veterans, RCMP members, widows, widowers, orphans and family members of those who served who are in need of a helping hand.

Members of the Royal Canadian Legion are, as one of their core responsibilities, the Guardians of Remembrance.

The Poppy Campaign organized by the Legion, in conjunction with Remembrance Day, helps alleviate

suffering and addresses the needs of Veterans and their families who may not have the financial wherewithal for basic necessities. The Legion assists with purchasing medical equipment, awarding bursaries for needy students, providing support services such as meals-on-wheels and drop-in centres and helping with some basic residential repairs to name but a few.

So much of the Legion’s work in our communities goes unnoticed.

Every day this organization of more than 330,000 people makes significant contributions, not only to enhance the lives of Veterans, but also for seniors, Cadets, Scouts, Guides, as well as serving members of the Canadian Forces and RCMP and their families.

The Legion remains fiercely proud to be Canada’s largest Veterans services organization.

Our advocacy work on behalf of all who have served in the Canadian

Forces and RCMP ensures that they receive life-long support and recognition for their service to this country.

Thanks to their desire to give back, the Legion was created and continues to this day to support our communities in countless ways.

The Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign provides everyone with the opportunity for practical remembrance and it is hoped that this year, with the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Libya as with our aging Second World War and Korean Veterans, more Canadians will wear the Poppy than ever before.

There’s more to the Legion than you might think. We Care!

Find out today how you can get involved by visiting your local Legion branch…because you care; because you can.

Pit bull ban not needed Editor: In response to the recent controversy surrounding the pit bull breed I’m opposed to the idea of having a pit bull ban, after the recent attacks that have taken place. As a dog owner myself, I strongly feel that the breed

shouldn’t be punished. I believe the owners and handlers of these dogs are at fault, and need to take responsibility for their dog’s actions.

A possible solution to the issue may be to have all dog owners and handlers of more aggressive breeds

complete a training program to learn how to handle these dogs appropriately. Upon successful completion of the training program, one would be awarded a license to own a more aggressive dog breed.

Editor: The real reason for the newest flavour of taxation policies — road pricing — to further fund a decrepit regional transit authority, can be laid squarely at the feet of both the SkyTrain light metro and the BC Liberal government pilfering of gas/carbon tax monies for general revenue.

Despite the hype and hoopla about SkyTrain, the proprietary light-metro is just too expensive to build and operate, as evidenced by the Canada Line which is not SkyTrain at all, but a cheaper off the shelf knock-off. SkyTrain was too expensive for the Canada Line.

On page 15, in the 1993, joint GVRD/Min. of Transportation report, “The Cost of Transporting People in the B.C. Lower Mainland”, it was revealed that the annual provincial subsidy for SkyTrain was $157.6 million; the combined subsidy for the diesel and trolley buses was just $132.4 million! With the addition of the Millennium Line, this subsidy increased to over $200 million and with the Canada line, this annual subsidy has now surpassed $300 million.

It becomes easier to see why there is no extra money for TransLink, because TransLink is already quietly getting a big chunk of transit cash from the province.

The Evergreen Line will only add to this annual subsidy, further exacerbating problems with TransLink’s dubious finances.

When the Gordon Campbell Liberals gained office, they instantly reduced taxes and greatly increased userfees and levies. To maintain revenue, the BC Liberals diverted gas tax and carbon tax monies into general revenue, to balance the books.

Tax monies earmarked for regional transportation just disappeared into the black hole of general revenue.

Road pricing is all about keeping the status-quo with the bloated bureaucrats at TransLink, who like alcoholics refusing to accept that they are addicted to booze, are addicted to dated and transit planning and continue to squander huge sums of tax monies on SkyTrain such as the UBC SkyTrain subway in Vancouver.

Road pricing is all about weak politicians merely being told what to do by their bureaucrat masters. Road pricing is all about once again screwing the taxpayer to pay for bureaucratic and political hubris.

Editor: I have followed the Township’s ongoing soap opera regarding a “University District” around Trinity Western University with interest. I find myself wondering if this is a reasoned and respectful approach to development and to relationships with Township’s neighbouring municipalities.

Planning issues can be difficult for “the ordinary Joe” but careful research does reveal some inaccuracies in what has been presented.

We are told by Township that Metro Vancouver is obstructing expansion of TWU and that the Agricultural Land Commission has approved what Township is proposing. In fact Metro has agreed to a “special study area” where expansion of TWU might be allowed if approval is received from the ALC. The ALC has approved removal from the ALR of only part of this special study area.

The rest is good agricultural land.

Nevertheless, the area approved by the ALC is adequate for expansion of TWU into the distant future.

Are you an adrenaline junkie with a craving for high speed action and raw horsepower? The B.C. Ranch Cutting Horse Association, a grass-roots club based in the Fraser Valley that promotes the sport of cutting, may have just the thing for you.

In yesteryear when a cowboy and his trusty four-legged “ATV” needed to doctor a cow out on the lone prairie the horse and rider had to “cut” the animal out of the herd.

Over the years the sport developed as way for ranchers and cowhands to show off their expertise and earn bragging rights for their cow-savvy horses.

These days you don’t need a spread like the Ponderosa to participate, just a horse that is a willing partner and a desire to have a lot of fun.

The B.C. Ranch Cutting Horse Association is holding its last show of the season on Saturday, Oct. 27 at Thunderbird Show Park in Langley. The day’s activities will kick off at 9 a.m. and run throughout the day.

Baby Ostrich Looks for Dinner

3x7

Ann Audet and Chantal Zacharias of Otter Co-op’s feed department cradle a young ostrich chick, Dennis the Menace, Monday afternoon. Carolyn Hemphill has been breeding ostriches here for 18 years and wanted to introduce the Co-op to its newest feed customer. Dennis was born Oct. 6 to a pair of ostriches Hemphill has owned since their birth, 10-11 years ago. Hemphill, who takes in rescue animals, keeps the ostriches strictly as pets on her rural property.

So nice to come home to.

industry” in the province, generating an annual real GDP ($2002) of more than $6.4 billion in 2010, ahead of forestry, mining, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture.

Tourism and hospitality generated $13.4 billion in annual revenue in 2010.

Overall, between 2004 and 2010, industry revenues grew by a total of 25.5 per cent, representing an average annual growth rate of 4.2 per cent.

The provincial government’s Gaining the Edge: A Five-year Strategy for Tourism in British Columbia targets revenue growth of five per cent a year that will top $18 billion in tourism spending by 2016.

The fastest growing sectors for tourism job growth over the next decade are expected to be recreation and entertainment and travel services.

There are an estimated 17,943 tourism-related businesses across the province, employing about 260,000 workers, or 10.8 per cent of B.C.’s total labour force of 2.4 million people.

More than 80 per cent of tourism’s new job openings are projected to come in Food and Beverage Services (43,410 openings), Recreation and Entertainment (20,530 openings) and the Accommodation sector (18,920 openings).

“After several years of

slow labour growth, the tourism industry is poised to expand,” said Arlene Keis, Chief Executive Officer of go2. “Labour shortages are already being felt in places like Northern B.C., the Thompson Okanagan and in the Rockies regions. By 2016, the crunch will be more acute throughout the province.”

“The tourism industry often provides people with their important first job and sets them on their career path,” said Keis. “Tourism is also the largest employer of youth, with one in four British Columbians under the age of 24 working in the industry.”

“This anticipated growth in tourism reinforces the need to plan carefully and ensure

that there are enough workers with the right skills in the right communities to meet the tourism industry’s future labour needs,” said Keis.

Boomer Gaye Dolezal of Sidney, B.C. says “Working part-time in Tourism Information was a fun way for me to use my great knowledge of Canadian cities. I often astounded visitors with the connections I could make to their hometowns.” She adds “People like to feel like welcome guests, not just tourists.”

Tourism is an increasing contributor to the Langley economy.

Langley is home to a number of hotels, which get constant use by visitors to the area. The most recent large hotel to open is the Sandman Signature Hotel and Suites, on the south side of Highway 1 at 200 Street. It complements the existing Sandman Inn on the north side of the freeway, just east of 200 Street.

Several of the hotels in that area are popular destinations for visitors to the nearby Langley Events Centre, which is rapidly becoming a key tourist attraction in Langley. It hosts many provincial and national sports events, including the Continental Cup of Curling last January, which was televised nationally by TSN. Another major draw to Langley is the equestrian industry. One of the largest attractions is the Thunderbird Equestrian Centre on 72 Avenue at 248 Street, which hosts several major horse shows each year. There are numerous smaller equestrian centres in Langley as well.

Agri-tourism has become a larger industry in recent years as well, with one of the most popular attractions being Langley’s many estate wineries.

Tourism Langley (www.tourismlangley.ca), located at the Events Centre, has a number of packages for tourists who are visiting Langley.

Tourism-related jobs have been on the upswing in this community, and that trend is expected to continue.

Kodiaks battle bad streak

By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

The Aldergrove Kodiaks were on the right track, outshooting the host Port Moody Black Panthers on Saturday night two to one and staying out of the penalty box, but a costly mistake cost the Kodiaks the game in overtime.

The game was scoreless in the first two periods and the Kodiaks finally notched one in the second half of the third period. Ryan Procyshyn scored at 11:49 on one of six power plays, assisted by Kodi Schwarz and Stephen Ryan.

However, Panther Martin Campbell scored at 17:07 to take the game into overtime.

And after Joshua Cronin was sent to the sin bin at 2:28 for high sticking, Martin scored another at 2:57 to end the game 2-1 for the Panthers.

The Kodiaks outshot the Panthers 54-27 and Procyshyn and goalie Mark Menicucci earned the game’s first and third stars,

respectively. Panther goalie Angus Redmond was second star of the night.

The Kodiaks picked up a point that night for the overtime win, but are stuck at nine points after 12 games (4-7-1-0).

The Delta Ice Hawks narrowly squeaked through a 2-1 win over Aldergrove Kodiaks Wednesday, Oct. 17 at Aldergrove Arena to keep their hold on the top spot in the league.

The Kodiaks put out their best effort yet this season, outshooting and generally outplaying the Delta guests, and opened the scoring for a 1-0 lead at the end of the first period.

Scoring for Aldergrove at 4:18 was Ryan Veillet, from the two McHaffie brothers, Spencer and Scott. The Kodiaks outshot the Hawks 11-10 in the first.

The Kodiaks also outshot the Hawks 17-7 in the second but a roughing penalty for Kodiaks’ JeanPhillip Bouchard at 13:30 gave the

Hawks the man advantage, which Hawks’ Anthony Brito seized 90 second later.

Brito netted his second of the night at 3:25 into the third for the game winner, and game first star for Brito. Shots were even at 10 apiece in the third.

Kodiaks’ Stefan Gonzales earned second star that night.

Kodiaks net minder Mark Menicucci was back in net for his second game this season, after recovering from a groin injury just ten minutes into the game two weeks ago.

Kodiaks Ryan Ziadie was handed a game misconduct in the third for instigating a fight.

It was the first suit-up for rookie Nolan Dyck, of Aldergrove, on the Kodiaks’ forward line, and he skated well.

The Kodiaks travel to Richmond to take on the Sockeyes Thursday, Oct. 25. The Kodiaks close out the month by hosting North Vancouver Wolf Pack Wednesday, Oct. 31.

OBITUARIES

Petersen, Alan

It is with great sadness and empty hearts that we announce the passing of Alan Petersen, aged 57.

Alan passed away peacefully with his wife, Margaret and his children, Brian and Lauren by his side.

Alan was born in Victoria, BC April 30/1955. He enjoyed hiking, fishing, kayaking, walking his dogs, and above all, spending time with his family and friends. Alan touched many lives in his own quiet way, and was as kind, giving and supportive man one could hope to cross paths with as he was always willing to help anyone in need.

He is predeceased by his father Aksel.

Alan is survived by his wife Margaret, son, Brian, daughter, Lauren and his dogs, Tuxedo and Gerald. Mother, Birte (Victoria), Sisters, Vibeke (Martin) California, Julie (Dan) Washington, brothers, Paul ( Monica), Richard (Susan), nieces, Linda ( Ben ) Maryland, Madeline (Victoria), nephews, Michael (San Francisco), Garrett (Victoria) and James (Victoria), as well as many friends and colleagues.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the ALS Society of Canada. A park bench and a tree will be placed, through the Township of Langley, by your donations to: Metro Vancouver Head Office, 4330 Kingsway, Burnaby, BC V5H 4G8. Attn: Regional Park, 6th Floor, In Memory Of Alan Petersen at Aldergrove Regional Park.

“While the light fades from sight, and the stars gleaming rays softly send, to thy hands we are souls, Lord, commend.”

You are invited to leave a fond memory or message of condolence at the family’s on-line memorial register at www.myalternatives.ca
