Compost Langley New Year’s baby first in region plant public meeting date set Paternal grandmother was the first New Year’s baby in Surrey 44 years ago

Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

The first Lower Mainland baby born this year was Langley’s Shane Greenwood, who arrived at Langley Memorial Hospital at 12:26 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 1.

He weighed in at a healthy 9 lbs. 5 oz. and he was actually a little bit late, mother Alyssa Burkhardt said.

“He was due Dec. 27,” Burkhardt told The Times.

Mom and son are back home

with father Justin Greenwood and big brother Shawn.

Shane shares his birthday with his paternal grandmother, who was Surrey’s first baby of the year 44 years ago.

It was a busy night at Langley Memorial with a total of five New Year’s babies being born — three boys and two girls.

The first New Year’s baby in B.C. arrived in Kamloops at 12:02 a.m.

David James Jr. was a bit early.

His mother’s due date was Wednesday, Jan. 9.

Shane Greenwood of Langley became the first baby of the New Year in the Lower Mainland early Tuesday morning.

Three-hour event will take place Wednesday, Jan. 16 at Fort Langley Golf Course Dan Ferguson Times Reporter

A three-hour public information meeting will be held on a proposed composting facility east of Fort Langley.

The company that wants to build the plant, Glenval Organics Ltd., has booked the event for Wednesday, Jan. 16 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. in the Thompson Room at the Fort Langley Golf Course at 9782 McKinnon Cres.

The meeting is not a formal public hearing, only an information session, according to Ray Robb, the Metro air quality district director who has the authority to issue an air quality permit for the plant.

The Glenval Organics Ltd. application to locate the plant on a 12.32 hectare property 25330 88 Ave. has drawn complaints from area residents and at least one member of Langley Township council, who say there hasn’t been enough public consultation.

Langley Township Councillor Charlie Fox said the proposal will make Langley the “dumping site” for all the green waste from all the other municipalities in Metro Vancouver.

Fox said the whole area is a flood plain and sensitive peat bog.

Fox was not satisfied with the operator’s promise to restrict the type of waste to limit odours, saying that could change down the road.

Glenval promises the facility will not smell bad because it will only use yard waste but nearby residents like Katherine Kinman, who is renovating a nearby farm house, are not reassured.

She is concerned the plant will drive down property values and says she and her neighbours are “outraged” and intend to fight the planned development.

Glenval Organics spokesperson Scott Temreck describes the site as a “former fill and gravel pit” that is properly zoned for composting.

Temreck said the company intends to become the first yard waste compost facility in the Metro Vancouver region to receive an air quality permit and promised the plant will “meet or exceed all environmental regulations that apply to the composting industry.”

He predicted traffic will be “minimally increased” along 88 Avenue, adding a maximum of 16 trucks a day to the 2,500 to 5,000 vehicles that travel the route every day.

Police blocked off 264 Street for several hours Monday morning after a 20-minute car chase ended with a deliberate collision when a cruiser forced a murder suspect’s vehicle off the road.

Insp. Amrik Virk

There was what IHIT Insp.

Amrik Virk called a “short” pursuit that ended with police vehicles forcing the suspect’s vehicle off the road.

At least one cruiser, an RCMP vehicle, was damaged, Virk said.

Virk said police would like to thank members of the general public who offered to use their

personal airplanes to assist with locating the suspect.

“We called the Langley airport and we asked for any aircraft or helicopters that were in the air that could assist us,” Virk told reporters.

“We had a number of calls from owners of private aircraft ready to take off and ready to assist us and we had a helicopter that was doing some surveying work very close to the area

that assisted, that did spot the incident unfolding.” “(We had) people waiting actually at the airport with their own fuel, their own aircraft saying ‘we’re ready to take off, what do you want us to do?’”

The house where the body was discovered is located in a newer neighbourhood of recently-built homes.

At least one neighbour said it was a shared house.

October: Trucking business burns DESTINATIONHEARING we’ll get you there.

Robert David Bradshaw, 28, was on trial for first degree murder of the March 2009 killings of Laura Lynn Lamoureux and Marc Bontkes.

Michelle Motola, 21, was sentenced to six years in a federal prison for her part in the killing of Bontkes. Roy Thielen, 33, pleaded guilty to second degree murder in the Bontkes case, as well as in the related killing of Lamoureux.

He is serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 20 years.

Bontkes was found shot to death in a parking lot of HiKnoll Park on the Surrey-Langley border on March 19, 2009.

His murder, as well as that of Lamoureux, which took place five days earlier, were related to the street-level drug trade.

Bradshaw was found guilty on both counts of first degree murder in October, and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.

Your pocket picked

Let’s keep up the generosity of holidays

I

t’s a new year, and that means that all levels of government have their hands in your pockets a little more deeply than in 2012.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation sent out a press release last week outlining just how much additional pocket picking is coming our way in 2013. The list is substantial.

The most substantial, and perhaps the most unfair, is the boost in Medical Services Plan premiums.

These premiums will go up by $60 per family this year, and have now risen 24 per cent ($300 per family) in three years — far more than the rate of inflation.

This boost in MSP fees was first brought in by the provincial government to help deal with its deficit, and it has since discovered that it’s a tax boost that causes minimal political trouble. It appears this premium will keep rising until enough members of the public start to pay full attention to just how much it is costing them.

The federal government doesn’t get off scot-free. As of Jan. 1, premiums for Employment Insurance are rising, and so are contributions to the Canada Pension Plan. While contributors will get their CPP contributions back eventually if they retire and collect CPP, the same cannot be said for EI. A small portion of the population actually collects it, but all working people and their employers pay dearly for the program.

Municipal governments, who are in the midst of giving their employees raises, will boost property taxes by two to five per cent this year. Exact rates in Langley Township and Langley City haven’t been set yet. TransLink property taxes are also rising.

And TransLink will also take more from people who actually use the transit system, as fares rose on Jan. 1.

The province is facing a massive deficit and claims it will bring in a balanced budget, so that adds up to all kinds of tax increases that we have yet to see. But in the meantime, BC Hydro, controlled by the province, is raising rates by almost four per cent on April 1.

Taxpayers may get a small break if the PST, due to come back on April 1, isn’t levied on some services, as happened under the HST. We will wait and see what happens on that front.

One thing is certain — governments have an insatiable appetite for our money. While much of the money they take goes to useful services, there is plenty of room for better management and for minimal tax increases.

he new year is a time for second chances and new beginnings. A time to reset and refocus, and plot a new course.

While the holidays remind of the importance of family, the dawn of 2013 offers us a chance for introspection.

With that in mind, what will you do to make Delta a better place this year?

How will you improve the lives and lot of your neighbours, strangers, friends, family and loved ones?

Volunteerism and public service is the most noble use of one’s spare time, and benefits the entire community.

But helping out doesn’t have to be an ordeal or a chore. It could be as simple as taking an elderly neighbor’s dog for a walk, holding a door open, or helping someone with their groceries to their car.

For the more ambitious, there are dozens of service groups and nonprofit charities based here in South Delta who would greatly appreciate your support.

Don’t let the generosity of the Christmas season end as the new year dawns. Let it continue, and grow.

City garbage plan has holes in it Editor: I have a few issues with the new garbage collection program that began in Langley City on Jan. 2.

It is only for single-family residential homes. Does this council not realize that there are more and more apartment buildings and condos going up in the City these days? Why shouldn’t these property owners also be responsible for recycling and having limits put on how much they can put out each week?

The condos and apartment buildings contain far more people per square foot than those of single-family dwellings. If they were included in the recycling plans, think of the huge reduction in the amount of garbage that hits our landfill.

When Langley City first began its recycling program, I decided I really did not want to continue carting boxes and boxes of old newspapers to the curb every week, nor did I want to recycle household bills or other items that contain my personal information. Thus, I cancelled all newspaper delivery to my home and contacted all my creditors and informed them to bill me via email each month, thus reducing the amount of paper coming into my home.

Now with the new Green Can program that is being implemented, I am to discard the recyclable eco-friendly clear plastic bags that I have purchased specifically for my yard waste, as they are no longer acceptable. I am to use my non-existent newspapers to wrap kitchen scraps and place them into a separate bin purchased

especially for this purpose.

Don’t forget to also come down to city hall and pick up a brand-new sticker to place on said Green Can and ensure it is facing outwards to the street, because we can’t ask a garbage man to have to make any effort to actually look at the cans to see which are for which program.

Because of this Green Can program, single-family residences have now had their regular garbage collection limits cut in half.

According to Mayor Peter Fassbender’s letter our “kitchen food scraps and yard green waste make up from 30 to 40 per cent of our household garbage.”

That does not add up. But anyone requiring extra garbage pick-up can purchase stickers to use for the extra bags that they may have, on a regular and ongoing basis.

How magnanimous of you. Increasing the single-family residences’ costs, while reducing the services you provide. Good job.

A single-family home resident pays far higher property taxes than a condo owner does, yet a condo owner has clear access to a great big bin for any and all their garbage and recyclables and kitchen waste, without limitations.

Per square foot, condo owners produce far more waste than a single-family residence.

If one City lot contains the footprint for four condos and the building is four storeys high, that would make 16 families living in a space that normally houses one single-family residence. Given averages, and the usual smaller size of a condo-occu-

pying family, let’s be generous. This same condo footprint is producing just 10 times the amount of garbage that a single-family residence is producing.

In addition, they don’t have any restrictions on the amount or types of garbage they can throw out. Maybe they even have a private company picking up their refuse, rather than the City-hired company. It matters not. They are still contributing to the final tally allowable for this City, and the single-family residences are suffering restrictions because the condo owners have none at all.

Not only has the amount of garbage allowable been cut in half, but we are now only getting it picked up half the time. Garbage stinks and it attracts vermin and other wildlife, thus this new program is going to increase these issues for single-family residences. We are going to have higher numbers of rats, raccoons and wild cats getting into our stinking rotten garbage in our yards. and you can’t tell me that just because kitchen refuse is going into a different can which is picked up every week, this problem won’t occur.

Items such as tinfoil from a barbecue, containers with remnants of food still in them that are not recyclable, pet refuse, and the like are going to be sitting around in our yards for twice as long.

I have to wonder if this is worth all that effort. Or should homeowners just say forget it and go live in a condo.

Rae-Lynne Dicks, Langley City

Editor: Frequently I look out the window and curse if it’s raining. I must go out to walk the dogs, however. I was thinking of this the other morning when my mind drifted back to wartime Holland. The spring of ’45 was wet, cold and miserable.

But the coldest night of all was in ’47.

We of the Princess Pats were on Exercise Sweet Briar. We had been tearing over miles of Alberta in pursuit of the enemy, who were some of our own fellows slated for that role. We were in support company and rode in Jeeps with our Vickers machine guns.

That evening we parked our Jeeps, waded through a frigid slough and dug slit trenches with our weapons at the ready.

Our battle dress uniforms froze stiff in the below-zero air.

About 4 a.m., we were ordered out of the trenches and back into our vehicles. We crept through the darkness without lights

following our platoon commander.

Finally we received the command to halt and set up our weapons in an easterly direction where our lieutenant thought our final objective, the enemy’s position, lay.

He turned command over to the sergeant as he was going to reconnoitre to ensure we were in the right place. As ordered, we cocked our machine guns and waited.

At approximately 0555 hours, (five minutes to six), as the sky to the east lightened, we saw dancing headlights bouncing across the prairie toward us. This was unprecedented, as everything had been done in utter darkness up to this point.

Then we heard our officer’s voice screaming to get those bloody guns, the Jeeps and ourselves the hell out of there.

Without hesitation, we followed orders throwing our still-primed weapons into the vehicles and roaring off in a westerly

direction. Less than 60 seconds later, all hell broke loose: shells from the artillery shrieked though the air and exploded in the place our Vickers had been placed.

Rifle and Bren gun fire swept the area and would have decimated us if we’d still been there.

Our platoon leader was ashen-faced as he brought us to a halt and ordered us to set up the guns and fire at the position we’d just abandoned. Whether his colour was the thought of what would have happened had we stayed or, perhaps, the knowledge that he would be facing our angry colonel regarding his misplacement of our position due to incorrect map reading I don’t know.

However we all survived, and the last time I saw Mervin he was a retired major living in Langley.

Mike Harvey, Langley

Wages in Georgia Editor: I have been reading the Atlanta Journal Constitution newspaper, which published the salaries of its mayor and council members.

Please read these numbers and consider if our elected officials are overpaid.

The Atlanta mayor makes $147,000, while council members make $39,473. The population of the city is 427,432, with the last pay raise in 2006.

Consider Marietta, Georgia’s city council. The population is 57,357. The mayor is part-time and makes $18,000. Part-time council members make $13,000 The last pay raise was in 2005.

Langley City’s population is about 30,000, while Langley Township is just over 100,000.

I will leave the question of overpayment up to the reader.

Don Woode, Langley City

Let me keep my money Editor: Okay, so now that we are all clear — Langley Township Councillor Steve Ferguson plans to give his extra expense money to charity, Councillor Grant Ward believes in entitlement, and Councillor Bev Dornan thinks it’s OK to have her travel expenses paid for by the taxpayer, because she already gives part of her salary to charity.

I’d like to know what these people are smoking? Use the taxpayers’ money and donate it to a charity of his choice, take it because someone said he should, and it’s OK because I already donate to charity.

Excuse me, folks. That is my money, and money belonging to other taxpayers. You think you can justify it with these excuses.

When the next election comes around, none of you will be on my ‘yes’ list.

Debbie Atkinson, Langley

DP leader Adrian Dix has completed yearend interviews with members of the legislative press gallery. Here are highlights from my discussion with him.

TF: On the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline expansion proposal, federal NDP leader Tom Mulcair says the federal environmental process would have to be strengthened before a project like that could get a thorough enough hearing. Do you agree?

AD: The B.C. Liberal government has signed an equivalency agreement that says that the federal decision is the provincial decision on these projects. If it applies to Enbridge Northern Gateway, presumably the B.C. Liberals would apply it to Kinder Morgan.

They could have done a joint process, where [the final decision] would have gone to both cabinets. They chose instead to give up jurisdiction.

They were so afraid of making any decision on Northern Gateway that they sent it over to the federal government.

So what we’ve said is within a week of coming to office, we would end that equivalency agreement, and British Columbia would make decisions about both Enbridge Northern Gateway, which applied in May 2010, and any other pipeline, including the Kinder Morgan proposal, for which no application has been made.

Obviously it would have been desirable for everyone had they chosen a true joint

Loving the life in the Lower Mainland

By Kerry Vital

Metro Vancouver is widely known as one of the best places in the world to live in. Leisure and recreation is right on our doorstep, our economy is thriving, we have a lively arts and cultural scene, and new residents move here in droves.

But what exactly makes the Lower Mainland such a wonderful place to live?

“I think people love living in the Lower Mainland because of the excellent work-life balance,” says Bob de Wit, CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association. “There aren’t many places where someone can ski and golf in the same day in the same city!”

Michael Hungerford, a partner at Hungerford Properties, agrees, saying that Metro Vancouver has it all.

“There’s a tremendous quality of life here,” he says, adding “People recognize the stability that the Lower Mainland has.

It’s a great city to work in and have fun.”

Hungerford himself lived outside of the Lower Mainland for 10 years, but kept coming back to Vancouver.

“There are studies that speak to the Lower Mainland as one of the best places to live in the world,” he says. “People want to raise their kids here. They recognize the stability that the Lower Mainland has.”

Indeed, Vancouver was rated as the fifth best city in the world on the Mercer Quality of Living survey, the results of which were released in early December. A similar study by the

Martin Knowles photo above, submitted photo below Economic Intelligence Unit rated Vancouver as third in the world.

A temperate climate and some pretty amazing scenery are just two of the reasons that The citizens of of Metro Vancouver are an people love living in the Lower Mainland. A thriving economy and a great quality of life intelligent bunch, according to a study by draw new residents every year.

Smartcities Hub. The study rated Vancouver as the fourth smartest city in the world.

Our relatively temperate climate is also a draw for people considering where to live. With warm summer days and cool fall nights, it’s rare for citizens of Metro Vancouver to experience major weather-related problems, unless of course you’re yearning for the white Christmas that doesn’t happen very often.

“I think people are drawn first to Canada – because of our relatively greater political and economic freedoms – and then once they’re here, to the Lower Mainland, probably due to our having the best climate in the country,” says de Wit. Another wonderful thing about the Lower Mainland is the options for business owners here.

“You can really create your own opportunities,” Hungerford says.

It’s no wonder Metro Vancouver’s population grows every year, when there are so many great reasons to live here.

Jeffrey Hansen-Carlson changed his diet to drop more than 100 pounds, going from 295 pounds (left) to his current weight of 180.

A big factor in losing all the weight was when he could barely fit into his tuxedo for August 2008 wedding to his wife Alison (above).

The change in Hansen-Carlson’s lifestyle has also helped him rediscover his passion for cycling.

N

ew Year’s is a time many people make resolutions in an effort to better their lives.

But for Jeffrey HansenCarlson, it wasn’t a New Years resolution which turned his life around.

Like most kids growing up, Hansen-Carlson loved riding his bike. The son of an RCMP officer, he says his mom

used to have to call the local detachment because he would be gone all day long.

Like most people, HansenCarlson grew through his teenage years and in his 20s.

A few years back, he hadn’t ridden a bike in years but decided to purchase one and went for a spin. Unfortunately, he did not find the experience as enjoyable as he used to.

“It was the worse experience of my life; it was so uncomfortable,” he described. “I was so out of shape.

“I hated every pedal stroke.

“I went on that one bike ride and then sold the bike.”

“I knew I was a fat guy but I never really had the desire to change,” he added.

He described the next six months as a dark time, and he turned to fast food to cope with

his frustrations. was his diet.

“I just ate and ate and ate. For six months, I lost control.”

The 30-year-old now weighs 180 pounds, a weight he hasn’t been at since he was in his late teens.

And as part of his new lifestyle, Hansen-Carlson decided to get back on the bike.

With the help of Bicycle Sports Pacific and its store manager Kevin Billingsley, Hansen-Carlson found a road bike and was introduced to a bike club and all the caveats of the sports.

“Without Kevin’s excitement for the sport, I would not have rediscovered how important the simple pleasure of riding a bike was to me,” Hansen-Carlson said.

Riding became a staple of Hansen-Carlson’s life. In 2011 alone, he rode more than continued, PAGE 19

20,000 km. Not even being hit by a car on two separate occasions could slow him down.

“Every time I ride a bike now, I get off that bike — whether it is freezing cold, soaking wet, whether I have a kink in my back or whatever the case is — and I am grateful for it,” Hansen-Carlson said.

“Just because I know what it is like to not be able to enjoy it.”

His passion also prompted

Hansen-Carlson to give back to the sport.

Hansen-Carlson founded the Canadian Velo Event Management Society — he also serves as its president — and the Society founded and manages the Prospera Valley GranFondo.

The ride was created with his network of cycling friends as “a feather in the cap for the Lower Mainland,” he said.

“I am so genuinely passionate about cycling that it was very easy to inspire others to ride.

Starting the Canadian Velo

Event Management Society and working to encourage everyone in the community to ride a bike is nothing more than the natural evolution of my story.”

“It really excites me when people ride bikes; it is that simple.”

The GranFondo will be held for a second straight year beginning and ending at the Fort Langley Historic Site on July 21.

The inaugural event saw 1,200 cyclists participate and the $20,000 raised went to Special Olympics BC.

The benefits of multi trip coverage.

You can plan your vacation down to the finest detail, but an unexpected accident and accompanying medical costs can not only ruin a trip, they can have a substantial impact on your finances.

Fortunately, you can prepare for the unexpected and avoid financial devastation with BCAA Travel Insurance, whenever you leave the province.

BCAA Travel Insurance offers single trip and annual multi trip policy options to ensure that your coverage fits your specific travel needs. single trip coverage is suitable if you only travel once or twice a year.

However, if you travel three or more times a year, an annual multi trip policy can be more economical and flexible.

For example, for a traveller in their 60’s, who only vacations out-ofprovince once a year, plus a few shopping trips across the border, purchasing one three-day annual multi trip policy costs much less than buying several single trip policies. And it covers any planned or unplanned trips within the selected three day limit, so you can travel with peace-of-mind knowing you’re always protected.

Multi trip coverage is also convenient and flexible.

BCAA offers many trip length

options for annual multi trip policies. There’s no need to reapply for each trip, and you can easily upgrade the coverage if more days are needed. Quick out-ofprovince trips and planned vacations are both covered and you don’t have to inform us of your travel dates.

Plus, the longer you hold an annual multi trip policy, the more you save – even up to 10%, depending on the number of consecutive years you renew!

Rivermen rock Express twice, Gary ahuja Times Sports

A home-andhome sweep of the Coquitlam Express has the Langley Rivermen back in the hunt for a playoff spot.

The Rivermen filled the net with 13 goals — winning 6-1 at Coquitlam’s Poirier Sports Complex on Dec. 28 and 7-1 the next night at the Langley Events Centre — to pull within a point of the Express for the fourth and

final playoff spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division. Langley also has two games in hand.

Ben Butcher and Derek Sutliffe scored 19 seconds apart in the opening period in the first game before Coquitlam’s Philip Zielonka cut the lead in half prior to intermission. But that would be the only puck to elude James Barr, the game’s first star, who made 46 saves.

scored for the visitors, but with 29 seconds to go in the period, Logan Smith made it 4-2.

John Siemer had the lone goal in the second to make it 4-3 but Azurdia and Reichert gave the Rivermen a three-goal cushion.

Siemer and Sutliffe traded goals to end the game.

Evan Anderson picked up three helpers and Barr made another 40 saves to pick up the victory.

The victories wrap up the team’s most successful stretch of the season as they closed December with four victories, a tie and an overtime loss in their past eight games.

Puskarich also added a pair of assists while Jakob Reichert set up three goals.

The rematch got off to a fast start as the teams combined for six goals in the opening 20 minutes, four of which came from the Rivermen.

Austin Azurdia, Butcher and Puskarich chased Coquitlam goalie Cole Huggins from the game with goals in the first 13 minutes. That sparked the Express as Zachary Pryzbek and Zielonka

“We have been interested in him right from the get-go,” said Langley coach and general manager Bobby Henderson.

“We are excited; he has a ton of upside.”

Langley Rivermen’s James Robinson (#7) and Mario Puskarich (right) celebrate with Logan Smith, who scored his first goal of the season in the team’s 7-4 victory on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. Smith is also the team’s new captain.

The 6-foot-3, 197pound Langley native had one assist in 20 games for Surrey.

“He is a big body on the blue-line and has all the tools to become

a great player in this league” said associate head coach Jordan Emmerson.

The trade was one of two moves made by the Rivermen as

they shipped another defenceman, captain Thomas Nitsche to Penticton for future considerations.

Logan Smith will serve as captain.
