Langley split up for federal election By FRANK BUCHOLTZ Aldergrove Star
Langley is being split, for the next federal election. The final decision on federal electoral boundaries for the next 10 years was announced Wednesday by the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for B.C. The province gains six new seats in the House of Commons under redistribution, with one of those seats the new Cloverdale-Langley City riding. It combines Langley City and a sliver of the
Township with Cloverdale and a portion of Surrey as far west as 144 Street. Langley MP Mark Warawa and many Langley residents had wanted Langley to remain as a single riding, which included both the City and Township. However, the commission concluded that the population of the riding was too high. The new Cloverdale-Langley City riding will include Langley City and the portion of the Township west of 200 Street, north from the City boundary to Hwy. 1. The Langley-Aldergrove riding will
include all the rest of the Township and a portion of Abbotsford west of Bradner Road (north of Highway 1), and west of Mount Lehman Road, south of Hwy. 1. Warawa plans to run in the 2015 election in Langley-Aldergrove. The new boundaries take effect in the next federal election in 2015. To consult the report, visit www.federal-redistribution.ca.

The Aldergrove Trolley Company has ceased operations. Service to this community was suspended as of Monday, August 26. “We’re not giving up, we will revive it once we have a stronger plan and improved finances in place,” said Lynne Vanlaarhoven, spokesperson for the trolley company’s board of directors. The trolley service in this community had been operating for the past three months, offering both a south route and a north route from downtown Aldergrove. Vanlaarhoven said the south route, to Zero Avenue and back to Aldergrove, never really caught on. There were five trips daily, Monday to Friday, and the grand total of riders rarely exceeded 20 per day. On the other hand, the north route to Gloucester Industrial Estates and back to Aldergrove, had seen steady and consistent growth in ridership. There were eight trips daily, four in the early morning and four in the evening, to accommodate shift workers at Gloucester. “There were definitely way more people using the north route, and many people were getting jobs there because of the trolley service,” said Vanlaarhoven. “In the last couple of weeks we were getting 100 riders a day on the north route, while the south route was very low ridership, no way close to paying for that service. “It’s the saddest thing to have to suspend the service but the board will be seeking income from grants and the community to bring it back as soon as possible. However, we will probably be reducing our scope to just the north service to Gloucester,” said Vanlaarhoven. While the seven directors on the trolley Aldergrove’s trolley service ceased company’s board are all operation as of this week. volunteers, the two trolley drivers are paid staff. There are also the costs of leasing and fueling the trolley, provided by Vancouver Trolley. Vanlaarhoven noted that “Vancouver Trolley has been outstanding in its support of the Aldergrove Trolley effort.” Aldergrove Trolley Company had also hoped for more charter bookings on the weekends, for such events as weddings and farm tours, but there has not been much interest. “We need more commitment of financial support from the community — we knew that ridership alone would not pay for the service, to start out with, at least — but we also need more ridership,” said Vanlaarhoven.

Local zoo unveils new ‘best tech’ secret By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
On August 22 the Greater Vancouver Zoo launched their new “Zoo Experience”. In partnership with Abbotsford-based Jelly Marketing, the Aldergrove facility hosted a large group of families at the launch of the zoo’s brand new Zoo 3.0 website and e-learning experience. The invited families included “parenting bloggers” such as Langley’s Kristyl Leigh Clark of She’s a Valley Mom (www.shesavalleymom.com) and Ricky Shetty of Daddy Blogger (www. daddyblogger.ca). Both Clark and Shetty told The Aldergrove Star that they were impressed by the family-friendly Zoo 3.0 interactive features. The partnership has brought an updated look and feel to the zoo’s website (www.gvzoo.com), completely re-designed and reorganized. Visitors will experience larger, more colourful photos throughout and get the
information they are looking for faster. The new website features Zoo 3.0, an all-access e-learning portal complete with rare footage and facts about the zoo’s featured animals, such as the macaw, grizzly bear, hippopotamus, Siberian tiger, Oregon spotted frog and muskox. “We designed the website with kids in mind,” says Jelly Marketing’s lead strategist, Darian Kovacs. “We are so excited to take the zoo experience to the next level.” New interactive elements include the public’s ability to post Instagram photos and Tweets about their experiences at the zoo to the zoo’s website. Zoo staff will also be posting their own blogs on the website. “We’re so excited to be able to provide an additional educational element to our zoo and ensure we engage with our guests young and old,” said general manager Jody Henderson “Thanks to technology we’re able to do that.”

Woman charged in robberies Aldergrove Star
A 28 year old Abbotsford woman will have to answer to three charges relating to an armed robbery in Aldergrove on August 17. At approximately 10 a.m. that day, Langley RCMP were called to attend the Booster Juice in Aldergrove to investigate a robbery. Police allege the female entered the store and went into the washroom where she stayed until other customers had left the building. When she emerged she produced what appeared to be a handgun and
pointed it at the clerk. She demanded cash from the till, the clerk complied and the suspect fled the store. She was observed getting into an older white Toyota Camry. The clerk provided a detailed description of the suspect, her clothing and getaway vehicle to police. The vehicle was entered on police computer systems and was found parked at a liquor store in Abbotsford. The investigating officer also discovered that the driver of the vehicle had been arrested the
day prior for an armed robbery in Abbotsford. Based on the physical and clothing description, the investigator was able to link her to the Aldergrove robbery on the day prior. The handgun was found to be an airsoft pistol. Briana Hanele Gray remains in custody and will next appear in Surrey Provincial Court on August 29. She has been charged with robbery, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose and use of an imitation firearm.
Memorial service announced for local teacher, historian Aldergrove Star
Funeral arrangements for longtime Langley teacher and principal Norm Sherritt have been announced. He died on Aug. 16, at the age of 92. He was renowned in Langley for his 40 years as a teacher and principal at Fort Langley Elementary, Langley Secondary and Aldergrove Secondary. He served at Aldergrove Secondary for 11 years before retiring in 1980. He also was well-renowned for his knowledge of Langley’s early days, and was a much-consulted source for local historians.

Sherritt trust, Mrs. M. Pepin, 25323 12 Avenue, Aldergrove, B.C. V4W 3N2. The committee hands out scholarships to high school graduates. Donations can also be made to the Centre for Child Development, attn. N.A. Sherritt fund, 9460 140 St., Surrey, B.C., V3V 5Z4.
Sexual assault in Langley linked to previous incident By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
The man who sexually asaulted a 19-year-old woman last Tuesday night, Aug. 20, in Langley City may also be responsible for a June attack, RCMP said Saturday, Aug. 24. The woman was walking near Douglas Park in the 20600 block of 51B Avenue when she was attacked from behind, pushed to the ground, and sexually assaulted. The man, who was wearing swimming goggles, threatened her with a knife and told her not to scream. He then took her purse and iPod before fleeing on a bicycle. Police called in the fire department to light up the crime scene. Based on the victim’s description, police believe the same man may be responsible for attacking a 16-yearold girl on June 22. In that incident, the victim was waiting for a bus at the intersection of 42 Avenue and 204 Street when the suspect pulled up in a vehicle beside her and ordered her to get in.
He threatened her with a knife, drove her to a church parking lot in the 21200 block of 56 Avenue and sexually assaulted her. He then drove her to the Langley bus loop at Logan and Glover and released her without further incident. He was driving a small, newer model, silver hatchback. Langley RCMP is asking the public to study the two composite sketches created and if you are able to identify the suspect or provide information that would assist with either of these investigations please call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or online at www.solvecrime. ca. Langley RCMP also released some self-defense tips for the public: 1. Awareness: Your first line of defense. Most people think of kicks to the groin and blocking punches when they hear the term selfdefense. However, true self-defense begins long before any actual physical contact. The first, and probably
Police drawings of two suspects bear striking resemblance to each other. most important, component in selfdefense is awareness: awareness of yourself, your surroundings, and a potential attacker’s likely strategies. Often, a criminal’s strategy is to use the advantage of surprise. Studies have shown that criminals are adept at choosing targets that appear to be unaware of what is going on around them. By being aware of your surroundings and by projecting a forceful presence, many altercations which are commonplace on the street can be avoided.
2. Use your sixth sense. Sixth sense. Gut instinct. Your intuition is a powerful subconscious insight into situations and people. All of us, especially women, have this gift, but very few of us pay attention to it. Avoid a person or a situation which does not feel safe–you’re probably right. 3. Self-defense training. It is important to evaluate the goals and practical usefulness of a women’s self-defense program before signing up. The self-defense program should include simulated assaults, with a fully padded instructor in realistic attack scenarios, to allow you to practice what you’ve learned. 4. Escape: What if you are suddenly confronted by a predator who demands that you go with him – be it in a car, or into an alley, or a building. It would seem prudent to obey, but you must never leave the primary crime scene. You are far more likely to be killed or seriously injured if you go with the attacker than if you run away (even if he promises not to hurt you). Run away, yell for help, throw a
rock through a store or car window – do whatever you can to attract attention. And if the criminal is after your purse or other material items, throw them one way while you run the other. 5. Your right to fight. Unfortunately, no matter how diligently we practice awareness and avoidance techniques, we may find ourselves in a physical confrontation. Whether or not you have self-defense training, and no matter what your age or physical condition, it is important to understand that you CAN and SHOULD defend yourself physically. You have both the moral and legal right to do so. Many women worry that they will anger the attacker and get hurt worse if they defend themselves, but statistics clearly show that your odds of survival are far greater if you do fight back. Aim for the eyes first and the groin second. Remember, though, to use the element of surprise to your advantage– strike quickly, and mean business. You may only get one chance.

Summer holidays are winding down and students will soon return to their classrooms and teachers. Back to school is an exciting time for kids and a busy time for parents, so Langley agencies are reminding people to slow down, avoid distractions, and think about the youngsters using the roads. “As students and staff return to schools this fall, traffic will increase on neighbouring roadways,� said Suzanne Hoffman, Superintendent of Schools for Langley School District 35. “Student drop-off and pickup times can be especially busy and drivers are reminded to be watchful of students in crosswalks, follow posted speed limits in school zones, and watch for school buses.� Last year, BC Ambulance Service saw an average increase of nine per cent in motor vehicle crashes in school zones throughout BC in September – a number it would like to see reduced. “As we shift into our school year routine, it is important for parents, children, drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists to be very aware of their surroundings,� said Paul Juszko, BC Ambulance Service Unit Chief. “As paramedics in Langley, we see preventable collisions every day – a child excited to tell their parent about their school day darts across the road without looking, or a cyclist riding with earphones doesn’t hear a car turning near them. It is important to look and listen in school zones and on our roads.� As a first lesson of the school year, BC Ambulance Service recommends teaching your children and reminding yourself about the ABCD’s of

To ensure that drivers adhere to traffic laws during this crucial time, Langley RCMP and bylaw enforcement officers will be out in
force over the next few weeks. “We know you are busy and have to get your children to school, but you need to get them there within the guidelines of the law,� said Township of Langley Bylaw Enforcement Officer Simon Jottey. “Laws are there for a reason – to keep you, your children, and other kids safe. If you violate those laws we will give you a ticket.� Parents and members of the public who see infractions taking place or notice safety issues at schools are encouraged to call Township Bylaw Enforcement at 604-532-7551. “With school resuming on Tuesday, Langley RCMP remind motorists that school zones will again be monitored and enforced,� said Cpl. David Koga of the Langley Detachment’s Youth Unit. “Drivers must be cognizant and adhere to the 30 km per hour school zones to ensure the safety of all students. Failure to comply may result in fines up to $253 for speed in a school zone, or higher for excessive speed.�
Provincial affairs columnist Tom Fletcher is on holidays this week, and returns next week.
The Aldergrove Trolley Company launched local service on June 1 and suspended it August 26, citing financial pressures and low ridership. However, some trolley supporters had only just discovered the service, such as letter writers Brenda and George Murphy (letter below).
True family in our town
Editor: In April, this year, my husband was “officially� diagnosed with Dementia. This disease has been devastating to myself and our family, and he is on a rapid decline. I want to tell you of my “Community Family�. We have lived in Aldergrove for 11 years and until recently I took friendship for granted. Many of you are invisible friends with gestures of a smile, giving us extra time to cross the street or parking lot, to the kind words of “How can I be of any assistance?� and then there are the new physical friends. I want to thank Marilyn, a parishioner from St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church who saw that I was “lost� as I approached the church. I attended an outdoor service as I could only leave my husband for an hour and she was so genuinely concerned that we exchanged phone numbers. Then there is Karen from Shopper’s Drug Mart, who gave a call as she had not seen myself or husband in the store for a while. To Kaylee and Shelley from McDonald’s, who always ask how my husband is doing and to the many McDonald’s customers who ask the same questions, especially when we have been absent (you know who you are). To Joy at the Fox and Hounds for her enthusiastic “How are you today, George?� Today was a very special day. We saw the Aldergrove Trolley Bus and decided that we should take a ride. There was a nostalgic smell, wooden seats for two and the big smile on my husband’s face was beautiful. Not knowing of the schedule, we learnt that you can take the trolley and with door to door store service I can see us doing some Aldergrove/Otter Co-op shopping, knowing that the trolley will be back in an hour to pick us up. We saw the very personal service that Richard gave, assisting a gentleman with his groceries, driving him right to his door in Pioneer Park. He gave us a bit of history and we rode along Zero Avenue for the first time ever and saw some beautiful homes. It was the best $6 we have ever spent. We will take this trip again with a picnic lunch and stop at Aldergrove Park. Richard assured us that he would remember to pick us up. Thank you, Aldergrove, for being “My Community.� Brenda and George Murphy, Aldergrove
Crows have advantage
Editor: I read the letter from C. Perry in Bradner, and I totally agree that we need to start culling crows. Not only do they rip garbage bags apart and make a mess, in the last two years we have watched them raid a nest of hummingbirds and kill the babies and destroy robins’ eggs. They are ruthless predators. And for people who object by saying this is “nature,� I love nature too, but we have given the crows an unfair advantage by providing them with limitless food supplies. Experts will tell you that any time an animal or bird has a surplus of food and living is good, they multiply faster. When times are bad, they die off. I’ve even seen them chase bald eagles away from nests the eagles are trying to build. Time to thin out the population. Debbie Mendini, Abbotsford

Make it a ‘staycation’ with Langley Circle Farm Tour By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star
I have been to Italy, the country that invented gelato, but I have never tasted gelato so rich and delicious as what is made — by hand, using milk from Langley goats — at Milner Valley Cheese. The five flavours, including mango, hazelnut and chocolate, are only available for summer and it is something new to the delightful cheese shop. This is just one amazing discovery among a wonderful and delicious myriad of farmgate delights and surprises offered at this year’s Langley Circle Farm Tour. I also learned that that the cucumbers on my Subway sandwiches were grown in Langley at Darvonda Nurseries at Milner Village Garden Centre. Travelling along the scenic back roads of Langley, residents and visitors alike have an opportunity to discover the quality products our farmers are producing while getting to know the families working these pastoral paradises. After touring some of the 15 stops offered on this selfguided map, I am a changed person. I will never be able to eat a California strawberry again after tasting the mouthwatering red berries from Driediger Farms and Krause Farms. I’m also still trying to wrap my head around Cedar Rim Nursery’s invention of the “fruit salad� tree, grafted to grow four different kinds of fruit. From delicious cheeses and an alpaca farm to wine tasting your way around Langley — there are endless reasons to make a staycation in your own backyard this summer. Some of the stops include JD Farms specialty turkey bistro, Erikson’s Daylily Gardens, Thunderbird Show Park and Vista D’oro Farms and Winery.
There are four wineries on the tour this year, each completely unique of the other. You can pull up a saddle stool at Krause Berry Farms’ brand new winery or try French cuisine at Domaine de Chaberton’s Bacchus Bistro, paired with one of its oldest Bacchus wines. What makes visiting these farms such a memorable experience is most are family run. When you buy your plants, wine, preserves or berries, you are most likely buying from the owners who are happy to tell you their story. If you buy a nice Colby cheese from Milner Valley Cheese, you will buy it from Marianne Smith, owner and operator who was up at 5:30 a.m. milking the goats that the cheese is made from. All of these farmers are putting in long hours to bring all of us some amazing products to take home, while offering experiences that are so truly Langley. MILNER VALLEY CHEESE The setting for Milner Valley Cheese couldn’t be more Langley bucolic - found off busy Glover Road, on Smith Crescent, so named after the Smith family who have worked the land here for five generations and now operate Milner Valley Cheese. The farmhouse the Smiths live in is 104-years-old and the property was once owned by the Hudson Bay Company. With goats sunning themselves and Milner, the 16-yearold friendly donkey, coming to greet us, it felt as if we had stepped back in time, to a slower, kinder era. Wearing a Milner Valley Cheese apron, owner Marianne Smith joins us with a plate full of soft cheese for the offering. Cheese made from the milk of goats is the mainstay of Milner Valley Cheese which is run by Glenn and Marianne Smith and their sons, Gregg

Jack Hamilton, 10, scoops up one of his favourite blackberry treats at the Blackberry Bake-off, the annual event hosted by the Township of Langley’s Demonstration Garden, Tuesday, Aug. 21. The demonstration garden is located in the Derek Doubleday Arboretum in the 21200-block of Fraser Highway. Winners were: Judges’ choice: 1st. TJ Kuipers – Blackberry Marshmallow Squares, 2nd. Julia Swanson – Blackberry Macaroons, 3rd. Lisa Dreves – Blackberry Jam Kolaches; Peoples’ choice: Julia Swanson – Blackberry Macaroons. and Brad. It opened in 2010. The Smith Farm keeps a herd of 75 goats. The shop carries jack, jalapeno, aged, peppercorn, cumin, chili, Colby (a popular mild sandwich cheese) cheese curds, chevre and feta. Upon Glenn’s insistence, Marianne tried her hand at making gelato using goat’s milk instead of the traditional cow’s. What has resulted in five, mouthwatering, irresistible flavours. JD FARMS TURKEY STORE AND BISTRO For so many in Langley, it has become a tradition to buy your holiday turkey from JD
Farms, ordering early so you can get their delicious birds that are free of antibiotics and animal byproducts. The owner of this successful farm is now the mayor of the Township. While JD Farms does specialize in the holidays, they also offer up varied hot lunch specials every day in their bistro. We tried a turkey sandwich on cranberry sourdough bread and turkey vegetable soup, complimented with a sip of Vista D’oro’s Murphy’s Law — a delicious blend of merlot, syrah and cab Franc. For dessert, a healthy basket of freshly picked raspberries, courtesy of Driegeder Farms was wait-

ing for us along with a sample of Vista D’oro’s fig and walnut spread, “perfect as the glaze, baked with a pork tenderloin,� offered Rachel, Vista’s representative. DRIEDIGER FARMS MARKET We made a quick stop at Driediger Farms where owner and operator Rhonda Driediger gave us the run down of operating one of the busiest berry U-picks in B.C. She told us more than 70,000 people U-pick a year at the farm, which grows mouth-watering strawberries (currently ripe and delicious for the picking), followed by raspberries and blueberries. In peak season, Driegeder employs 250 people and ships wholesale all over the world including parts of Asia and Europe, like Ireland. Rain makes for busy hands, as staff scramble to strip-pick all the berries they can and freeze them before losing them to the wet. It’s a busy operation and they hosted the �We Heart Langley festival July 28 as well. Rhonda didn’t leave us empty handed, leaving each person with one of Driegeder’s legendary berry pies. MILNER VILLAGE GARDEN CENTRE and DARVONDA NURSERIES From a piano fountain, to the funkiest home decor to supplying big box stores with hanging baskets and Subway with cucumbers, Milner Village Garden Centre is a pride for Langley. The retail centre, with its great finds of everything from home decor, to flowers and purses, is actually a barn built in the 1930s. Every Saturday they have their own Farmer’s Market with dozens of vendors. Shelly, the manager, is passionate about her place of work, as she showed everyone through the massive greenhouse that stores
conveyor belts moving hundreds of hanging baskets (that eventually end up in places like Costco) and roofs covered in hanging baskets and floors a sea of flower power. CEDAR RIM NURSERY They have a living roof, a whimsical garden centre and the “fruit salad tree� that grows four different kinds of fruit. While Cedar Rim Nursery is one of, if not, the largest landscaping and garden centre in Langley, it too is family owned and operated with Russ Bruce and his wife Trudy buying the centre in 1988. Now their daughter Amanda manages the store/retail side. Many don’t know that they supply much of the vegetation we see at Van Dusen Gardens, Wall building and UBC gardens to name a few of the large commercial landscaping jobs of Cedar Rim. As he has watched the trends come and go, Bruce said the big thing right now if getting back to growing your own food. “Vegetable gardens and fruit trees are a big trend right now,� he said. At Cedar Rim, they have the largest selection of fruit trees this side of the river, and have even grafted a fruit tree into what they call “The Fruit Salad Tree� which grows peach, plum, apricot and nectarine all on one tree. They have also introduced kids gardening classes. “We need to encourage the new generation of gardeners,� he said. Truly, it’s a delight to walk through their garden centre, which is a whimsical, colourful work of art, from an area set up like a day at the beach to gnomes poking out of garden drawers. There are actually five municipalities that participate in the Circle Farm Tour. Check out www.circlefarmtour.com for full details or to download a map.

Claude Munche with his 1956 Mercury and Mike Strachan with his 1912 Ford were part of the day-long fundraising cruise-in at Aldergrove’s A&W restaurant on Thursday, Aug. 22. The event was a fundraiser for the MS Society.
Townsfolk invited to clean up the creek Aldergrove Star
Aldergrove residents are invited to bring friends to participate in the Great Canadian Shoreline Clean-up on Saturday, September 7 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Join Langley Environmental Partners and the Bertrand Creek Enhancement Society as everyone hops into hip waders to remove debris from Bertrand Creek throughout the urban core of Aldergrove. This is a great opportunity to view this salmon-bearing creek from a whole new perspective, get a little dirty, better your commu-
nity and have a lot of fun with your neighbours. The in-stream clean-up is family friendly and all ages are invited to participate. There will be opportunities for both wading in the creek and removing floating and embedded non-natural debris — such as trash, shopping carts, wood — as well as using litter pickers to remove trash from stream banks. LEPS will provide work gloves, a limited number of chest waders (men’s size 6 to 12), litter pickers, and trash and recycling bags. Participants are encouraged to wear
gumboots and clothing that can get dirty. Snacks and refreshments will be provided by the Government of Canada’s Habitat Stewardship program. Participants will meet in the parking lot beside Extra Foods at the Aldergrove centre mall on 272 Street, north of Fraser Highway, before 10 a.m. Please RSVP with the number of people attending, so that organizers can plan accordingly.

‘Durti Gurlz’ take on Femsport Challenge Aldergrove Star
Women of Aldergrove have been training for the upcoming Femsport Vancouver event being held in the Ship Builder’s Square on Sept ember 7 at Lonsdale Quay. This women’s strength and fitness challenge is offered to women of all abilities and vows to test their strength, agility, power, endurance and speed. Femsport offers women so much more than just the opportunity to be their own champion. “In my mind, this is not a competition,� says Erin Schwaiger, a Durti Gurlz team member. “This is an empowering event where I am supported to feel good about myself, push my own limits, and feel accomplished.� Her sentiments are echoed by Tara Strachan, fellow team member, who says, “This has helped me feel proud of myself and has fostered growth in me I never dreamed was possible.� Aldergrove’s Durti Gurlz are 15 women strong, with team mates coming from all different backgrounds. “One of the best parts about
training is getting to know the these ladies that I would otherwise never have met. We come from a variety of backgrounds and fitness abilities but come together every week and support one another in such a positive way,� says Schwaiger. Training for this event is happening at an Aldergrove fitness centre, Apocalypse Training and Fitness, located at #30 26157B - 262 street. A sanctioned Femsport training facility, Apocalypse offers event specific training methods and competition knowledge in addition to their regular classes and club memberships. You don’t have to look hard to see the dedication and commitment these women are giving to their team and to this event. Says Strachan, “I even postponed, then later cancelled, a move to another province so I could stay and train for Femsport with the team at Apocalypse.� It is this determination that sets the Durti Gurlz apart and has earned them sponsorship from PVL Essentials, the 100% natural sport supplement brand. PVL could see that this group

Aldergrove’s “Durti Gurlz� are ready for the Femsport Challenge, Sept. 7 in North Vancouver. of dedicated ladies would represent their brand in an honourable way. The energy and enthusiasm at these training sessions is beyond compare. In two weeks time, the event itself will allow these local ladies to shine.

Pagoda Ridge golf course celebrates first year By FRANK BUCHOLTZ Aldergrove Star
The Pagoda Ridge golf course, which had its official opening on Aug. 17 one year after opening for business, has a fascinating back story. The back story became obvious during the official opening, which was timed to tie in with owner Lyall Brown’s 80th birthday. The Brown family were longtime residents of the Fleetwood area of Surrey and for many years operated a sawmill in Port Kells. In 1979, Lyall and Verna Brown bought 160 acres at the top of the 264 Street hill, above Glen Valley. While it was a long-term investment, it was also a popular gathering spot for the Browns, their children and grandchildren and many family friends. Stories of campfires, walks in the forest and Lyall Brown’s flying escapades (he has owned and flown fixedwing aircraft and a helicopter, and installed an airstrip on the property) were shared at the opening event. A movie featuring Burt Reynolds was shot on the property as well. In 1992, they received permission to put a golf course on the property — but it was a long-term project. Lyall, who loves to use all types of machinery, had started clearing the heavily-forested property in 1988. Over the years, he built a long wall

Today, it is one of the centrepieces of the golf course. It is modelled on the Great Wall of China.
The Browns also built a replica Chinese junk, using wood from their mill. That greets visitors today as they pull in, and is used as a concession
area, as it sits where the 9th and 18th holes connect to the parking area. The Browns discussed the golf course idea for years, with son Larry,
who is now the general manager, among the most enthusiastic. Friends contributed ideas on a possible layout, and the Browns had their own ideas, but one of the most fascinating ideas was to have the 10th hole extend right to the edge of the hill. There is a fantastic, signature view across Glen Valley, the Fraser River and onto various levels of hills and mountains north of the river. Once seen, it is not soon forgotten. There was one problem with the idea to have the hole there — part of it was on neighbouring property. The idea sunk in with Lyall Brown though, and he bought the adjoining five acres to make the hole a reality. Several years ago, work on the course layout began in earnest, with Terry Woodford designing the course. It is now more golfers and tournaments as it becomes known. Several hundred friends and family members came to the course on Aug. 17 to wish Lyall a happy birthday, tour the course and remember days gone by. The four Brown children, Larry, Lenny, Lloyd and Tammy, and their families were on hand as well, along with Lyall’s wife and partner Verna Brown, who through all the family adventures has kept it grounded. Pagoda Ridge is located at 7887 264 Street.
