School site fees are on way up

By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star

If you are looking to buy a home in Langley, earlier rather than later will save you money.

Last Thursday, the Ministry of Education approved Langley School District’s proposal to more than double the school site acquisition fees charged to developers for each home or condo built.

Once implemented, the charges for single family homes will rise from $354 to $737, while fees for townhouses and condos would jump to $590 per unit, from the current $283. At Tuesday night’s board of education meeting, the new fees

received unanimous third reading approval.

The school district came up with the new figures last year, after it hired Urban Systems Limited to look into how much Langley charges the development community, and learned it has been charging significantly less than neighbouring municipalities.

But Langley City council has vehemently opposed the new fees, stating to the district that it unfairly targets condo developers in the City. No new schools are proposed and very few new students are coming into the district from the City.

The cost of these new fees is just going

to be passed onto the buyer, said council.

The existing fees were implemented

by School District 35 in 2001. The City of Langley has collected $451,014.07 on behalf of the district, as of May 29, 2013.

The ministry wrote to the district last week, indicating it will not accept Langley City’s argument and will proceed with the new charges.

The City has not forwarded a response to the ministry’s approval.

“The Township is eager to get this moving because they are losing money every day and charges haven’t changed since 2001,” said board chair Wendy Johnson.

A planned ban on medical marijuana growing in residential neighbourhoods has been approved by Township council.

But the fate of another proposed ban, on using Langley farmland for the same purpose, remains up in the air.

The vote on the residential ban at the Feb. 24 evening meeting of council took less than a minute. It was unanimous.

The regulation is aimed at the many small medical marijuana grow ops that are currently licensed by the federal government to provide product.

After March 31, all of the small-scale growing licenses issued by the federal government are set to expire under new medicinal marijuana regulations that take effect April 1.

That’s when growing will switch from the current system of small operations with one or two clients to larger commercialstyle bulk growing.

The just-approved changes to the property safety bylaw would impose a fine of at least 500 and as much as $10,000 a day on anyone who currently has a medical marijuana production licence if they continue cultivating pot plants after the law changes.

The Township also wants to ban marijuana production on the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) that makes up 75 per cent of the Township, but has yet to get a response from the provincial government to the proposed regulation that would restrict growing to industrial areas.

Langley, Abbotsford, Delta and Kelowna are required by law to get provincial approval for any regulations that might affect farming within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) inside their borders.

On Feb. 18, Township mayor Jack Froese and Abbotsford mayor Mayor Bruce Banman met with provincial agriculture minister Pat Pimm in Victoria to press for a decision before the law changes.

Froese said the provincial minister was noncommittal.

“They’re not commenting one way or the other,” Froese said.

The Langley mayor said he and his Abbotsford counterpart told the minister that a decision needs to come before April 1.

“There are people waiting for an answer,” Froese said.

“I expect it will come soon.”

The Agricultural Land Commission (ALC), the agency that administers the ALR, recently declared that medical marijuana growing on agricultural land is protected under farming regulations that override the the Township of Langley’s authority.

At least eight businesses, seven of them located on agricultural land, have expressed interest in growing medicinal marijuana in Langley Township.

One of them, Koch Greenhouses owner Bruce Bakker, said the attempt to restrict medicinal marijuana cultivation to industrial areas was “troubling” because it was drafted without consulting farmers.

Aldergrove secondary students head for Belize Aldergrove Star

A group of about 30 Aldergrove Secondary School senior students are headed for Belize on their spring break.

The trip to the Central American country, as organized by the school, is not an exotic holiday get-away, however, but rather an experience in helping an impoverished community by performing relief work.

The students, accompanied by five adult escorts, will travel to Placencia on March 13 and for the next two weeks will be living at the community’s school.

Placencia is a small town on the coast in the Stann Creek District, south of the capital, Belize City.

Ice storm results in power outages, closures Aldergrove Star

Power outages affected areas of Abbotsford, Mission, Aldergrove and Chilliwack on Monday.

Most of the outages occurred overnight due to an ice storm that hit the Fraser Valley following a day of snow followed by freezing rain.

The storm brought trees down across power lines.

Although several of the outages have been restored, some areas remain without power.

In Abbotsford, Aberdeen Elementary on Bradner Road was closed until noon.

In Aldergrove, Betty Gilbert Middle School, Shortreed Elementary and Aldergrove Community Secondary were closed briefly Monday morning but were since re-opened.

Schools in Mission are open, except for Hatzic Elementary and Hatzic Secondary, while all schools are closed in Chilliwack, which experienced a large accumulation of snow.

A couple of large power outages affected about 3,500 homes in Abbotsford, Langley and Mission from about 8 p.m. Sunday to 3:30 a.m. Monday.

The trip was organized

by ACSS vice principal Mike Carlyle, who also works with the nongovernmental organization Youth Challenge International. Since his first international volunteer project at age 24, Carlyle has taken dozens of Langley students on similar trips.

The Aldergrove students will be working on construction projects such as building a school playground, and will conduct educational workshops for the local students.

The participating students, in grades 11 and 12, have raised the money, almost $2,000 each, to pay their own way.

Court ruling comes with $23-m price tag

By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star

It would cost the Langley School District $23 million in this current school year should class sizes and composition be restored to 2002 levels as per the Supreme Court ruling, said Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman.

“The district was asked to analyze the cost of the court ruling, to provide logistics and how those logistics would impact our budget,” said Hoffman at Tuesday night’s board of education meeting.

“We spent a very long weekend compiling the report where we looked at ratios of teacher librarians to be hired, teacher ratios, space in schools to accommodate new classrooms and would that impact our closed schools.”

The class size formula used in 2002 would require some current classes to be split up, requiring more classrooms.

The District estimated that it would choice” but to terminate current rental have to hire 228 full-time teachers to contracts with six preschool and daymeet 2002 requirements.

“Looking forward there will be challenges. You can’t take $275 million out of a [education] budget and then have to reinstate it without challenges.

“But it’s not like this board hasn’t faced challenges before. Every year teachers are released. We have closed schools and reconfigured others. I suggest it’s time to make this language [around class sizes and configuration] work for us.”

When the Liberals announced their balanced budget last week, it didn’t include any new funding for education, nor did it include any funding provisions for the cost of the court ruling.

To that, trustee Cecilia Reekie said the B.C. School Trustees Association is expressing “disappointment” that the government didn’t see children’s education as a priority.

Teachers are set to take a strike vote March 4 to 6.

Metro, FVRD clash over waste-to-energy talks

By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star

Metro Vancouver directors defended their push to build a new garbage incinerator for the region Friday and criticized Fraser Valley Regional District politicians for refusing to participate in consultations so far.

Metro is expected to begin one year of formal provincially mandated consultations with the FVRD on its wasteto-energy strategy this spring when it reveals all potential sites under consideration and narrows the number of prospective builders and their technologies.

Meanwhile, Metro politicians say they’ve tried repeatedly to meet with their FVRD counterparts to get their input ahead of the formal stage – on concerns such as emission standards – but have been rebuffed.

“They haven’t listened, they won’t listen,” Metro board chair Greg Moore told directors during Friday’s board meeting.

“We’ve attempted to meet. But this is too good of a political issue for them.”

Speaking after the meeting, Moore said the FVRD has only campaigned against Metro’s waste-to-energy plans through the media.

“Every time we went back they seemed to put up another parameter to delay or at least not have the willingness to sit down across the table,” he said.

FVRD directors had demanded as a precondition to talks that Metro put a Valley representative on Metro’s expert panel overseeing the procurement process and that Metro not charge the FVRD for the release of documents it has requested under Freedom of Information.

Both requests have been rejected.

Moore said the expert panel consists of independent consultants – Metro staff don’t even sit on it. “We said that can’t happen,” he said.

FVRD board chair Sharon Gaetz said the FVRD wants to meet but the ses-

sions must be open to the public – not held behind closed doors as Metro has insisted.

“Until they’re ready to concede on that, we feel it is outside of what the Community Charter legislates and so is, frankly, illegal,” said Gaetz, who accused Metro reps of political spin.

“We have been persistent in asking for meaningful consultation and we’ve been stonewalled.”

The FVRD is also asking the provincial government to reject a draft new operating certificate for Metro’s existing garbage incinerator in Burnaby and impose numerous new conditions.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro’s zero waste committee chair, said planned upgrades to the incinerator will cut its emissions in half.

When a new waste-to-energy plant is built with even more advanced pollution controls, Brodie said, the two plants will together emit less than the current one does today. The current waste-to-

energy emissions of smog-forming pollutants are less than one per cent of the total released in the region, he said.

“We hear endlessly from our great friends in the Fraser Valley and elsewhere about the emissions when really what we are talking about is such a small sliver of the total emissions of the region.”

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan also accused Vancouver reps of hypocrisy after Mayor Gregor Robertson complained of difficulties arranging for steam from the Burnaby incinerator to be piped west to heat homes in Vancouver’s newly developed East Fraserlands neighbourhood.

“Vancouver is opposed to incinerators but they want the heat out of ours,” Corrigan said.

He said the steam may instead be sold to a potential new industrial user adjacent to the incinerator in Burnaby, adding there are benefits to a city hosting an incinerator.

Jason Manning Cycling around the world for clean water

A 23-year-old Langley man wants to raise $30,000 for clean water by cycling around the world.

Jason Manning, a lifeguard and swimming instructor with the Township of Langley, left for Japan on Tuesday, Feb. 18.

He expects to spend about a year cycling 30,000 kilometres through Asia, Europe and Canada to raise money for the nonprofit Water For People, an international group that campaigns for clean water in poor countries.

“I’m doing this because I’ve always loved traveling and cycling, and I want to raise money and awareness for a cause that’s close to my heart,” Manning said in a letter to Langley Township council.

“My goal is to raise one dollar for every kilometre I pedal.”

Water For People estimates 783 million people around the world do not have access to safe drinking water and 2.5 billion are without adequate sanitation facilities.

Township councillors back local man’s around-the-world trip for clean water Langley lifeguard, swimming instructor hopes to raise $30,000

By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

Councillor Grant Ward wasn’t willing to spend Township taxpayers’ money on Jason Manning’s around-the-world cycling trip to rise funds for clean water.

But his own money was another matter, with Ward digging into his pocket and challenging other members of council to do the same at their Monday afternoon meeting.

Councillor Kim Richter had proposed a $1,000 donation to Manning, a 23-year-old lifeguard and swimming instructor with the Township of Langley who left for Japan to begin his trek on Tuesday, Feb. 18.

Manning expects to spend

about a year cycling 30,000 kilometres through Asia, Europe and Canada to raise money for the nonprofit Water For People, an international group that campaigns for clean water in poor countries.

While all members of council agreed it was a worthy cause, a majority had concerns about making a precedent-setting decision that could bring other people with equally worthy causes to council in search of donations.

Ward said councillors should donate their own money to Manning instead and set the ball rolling by offering to match any other councillor’s donation of $150.

“I’m in,” said councillor David

Davis.

Councillors Charlie Fox and Steve Ferguson and mayor Jack Froese also said they planned to make donations ranging from $100 to $150.

Water For People estimates 783 million people around the world do not have access to safe drinking water and 2.5 billion are without adequate sanitation facilities.

“I’m doing this because I’ve always loved traveling and cycling, and I want to raise money and awareness for a cause that’s close to my heart,” Manning said in a letter to Langley Township council requesting support.

“My goal is to raise one dollar for every kilometre I pedal.”

Little Chloe is in a fight for her life

By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

Langley’s Chloe Simon may only be nine months old, but already she is in the fight of her life.

On Thursday, Chloe started her first of four rounds of chemotherapy at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

On Feb. 3, she had an eighthour surgery to remove a golf ball-sized tumor on her infantsized liver. Doctors worked tirelessly and managed to remove all the tumor and save 25 per cent of her liver.

“She’s such a trooper. She has been all smiles today,” said her mother Nykia Simon, who slipped out of the hospital room for a minute to speak with Black Press on Thursday.

In early January, when Nykia was giving her little baby a bath, she noticed a golf ball-sized bump on her side.

“I asked my boyfriend Mike (father of Chloe) to come and look at it and we both knew it was something that needed looking at by a doctor,” she said.

That was the start of a roller coaster ride nobody would want to take. They went from family

Dietrich will inevitably miss work to care for her and for the family to spend as many precious moments together as possible.

Nykia is still on maternity leave and probably will not return to work in the near future.

While the couple has been reluctant to ask for help, Chloe’s aunt Naomi Thomas has started a fundraising page to help them through this difficult journey called Help Chloe Heal at http://www.indiegogo.com/ projects/helping-to-heal-chloe.

Already, more than $2,200 has been raised. But they will need more than that. Every person who donates $100 online will be sent a one-of-a-kind thank you card made by big brother Cassius.

People can also help by donating to a trust account at TD Canada Trust under Chloe’s name. Friends and family will be holding a fundraiser at Pub 120 in Surrey on March 22. For $20, those attending will get a burger and beer, and there will be other chances to raise funds at the event.

Roll up your sleeves, folks

Founded in 1957

Editor: Comments: “Grants needed to refresh downtown Aldergrove, study says,” Aldergrove Star, Feb. 27, 2014 On the subject of “refreshing” downtown Aldergrove, how do we expect small businesses to survive when we keep building mega shopping centres all around us? More shopping at home means more money for business owners to improve their stores and less abandoned buildings. That would address the “rundown storefronts.”

Regarding graffiti removal, our local Community Policing Office has a supply of graffiti removal kits. All we have to do is ask them to give us one and anyone can go remove graffiti. It is our town and we should keep it clean.

And by the way, most of the graffiti nowadays is on garbage bins outside businesses. It is the responsibility of the business owner to maintain and clean them but very few bother.

Garbage is also everyone’s responsibility. Let’s be proud of our town and start by doing something to make it a better place.

Many improvements could be free if we took charge of the situation ourselves. Then we can go and ask for grants to embellish the downtown area.

VICTORIA – The New Prosperity mineral deposit near Williams Lake is described by the industry as one of the largest in the world, containing 5.3 billion pounds of copper and 13.3 million ounces of gold.

The Harper government’s decision to reject open-pit mine development for a second time is seen by elected officials in the Cariboo region as a disaster.

One of Quesnel’s sawmills is preparing to close for good, and I’ve been told there is more to come as the post-pine beetle era unfolds.

Here in the B.C. capital, the decision is mainly viewed as a huge mistake. Taseko Mines is going to court to show that the federal panel used the wrong design when reviewing the company’s expensively revised plan.

The province has permitted two successful mines that operate in the same area, one of which is run by Taseko.

In Ottawa, this is a Supreme Court of Canada test case over who owns the land and the mineral wealth underneath.

In traditional Canadian law, the province owns it. This was highlighted in the recent discussion between B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta’s Alison Redford over royalties from oil.

Six aboriginal communities make up the Tsilhqot’in Nation, which has a long and bitter history of resistance

Crown jewel on table in Cariboo

against the Crown. They almost won a declaration of title to 40,000 hectares known as the Nemiah Valley: forests, wild horses, minerals and all, in a 339-day trial that ended in 2007.

Their case suffered a setback at the B.C. Court of Appeal, and is now before the highest court. Aboriginal rights have been established, but this would be the first clear title.

Tsilhqot’in tribal chair Joe Alphonse was pleasantly surprised to see Taseko turned down again. He said the Tsilhqot’in National Government is releasing its own mining policies soon.

“We welcome opportunities to look at projects that are environmentally sound and we need economic opportunities,” Alphonse told the Williams Lake Tribune.

Somehow efforts to move mine waste rock from Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) to a sealed storage site two kilometres away are not enough to protect groundwater, although they are sufficient at the nearby Gibraltar and Mount Polley mines.

And Alphonse makes it clear this mysterious environmental problem will be solved once he and his fellow chiefs have control of the resource.

A Supreme Court of Canada ruling on aboriginal title is required to settle this.

If some limited form of title is at last defined for the treaty-less majority of B.C.,

or at least Tsilhqot’in territory, the fate of the mine may become clear.

Conventional wisdom on this is that the mining company didn’t try hard enough to establish a working relationship with the Tsilhqot’in.

For his part, Taseko CEO Russell Hallbauer says the chiefs refused to meet with him, which isn’t surprising from a group that doesn’t recognize the B.C. forests ministry either.

Here’s a sample of the volume of evidence that may determine the future of B.C. Archeological studies presented at trial describe “18 roasting and/or pit depressions” at Teztan Biny.

It’s not clear if these were for seasonal food preparation or for pit houses, which would indicate a more permanent settlement at the lake.

Nor is it clear whether these “cultural depressions” have been identified as being of Tsilhqot’in origin.

Oral histories are also uncertain. Tsilhqot’in witnesses testified that Teztan Biny has been used in the 20th century as a hunting and fishing camp.

The mine was rejected due to ill-defined cultural as well as environmental concerns.

B.C. residents could finally see some answers this year.

Editor: I read with interest the article about the fact that “very few take the bus to work”. I live in Aldergrove, and the last time I did a calculation for me to get from my home to my place of employment at 200 Street, it would take me one hour and 45 minutes, assuming I made the connection in Langley City. If I chose to drive it takes me 20 minutes plus another five minutes on a ‘bad’ traffic day.

So if I have a shift from 4 to 8 p.m., I have to leave my home no later than 2 p.m. so I can walk to the closest bus stop, and hope I catch the connector and still have time to walk/run to my place of employment, and then in order for me to catch a bus home, I have to be at the closest bus stop back to Aldergrove by when? If I don’t get out of my place of employment by then there’s not a hope of getting home by bus. So given the possibility that I do have access to a ‘bus’ to get home I’ve now had to leave my home at 2 p.m. and I may get home by 10 p.m. It makes for a long day for a four hour shift when I can do all that in less than five hours by car. Which trip would you vote for?

I used to live in Coquitlam and I always took the bus from Austin (with a stop at Lougheed Mall) into downtown to the foot of Burrard. That took about one hour and 20 minutes, enough for an hour snooze and the bus was always full and provided the necessary service.

Out here the service doesn’t support the community because it takes too long to get anywhere on it. Use smaller buses with more frequent access. When you connect with Abbotsford then look at the larger buses.

Give credit where it’s due Editor: As tax time approaches and I gather the information needed to perform this annual civic duty, I’m reminded just how complex it is managing finances in a modern economy. People everywhere struggle with the same issues of how to keep track of what comes in, what goes out, what was saved, and what is owed. From a young age, most learn this responsibility.

For a long time now, Canada’s federal government has resisted funding microcredit – tiny loans given to the world’s poor to help them achieve economic self-sufficiency through their own entrepreneurship. Canada’s reluctance has always hinged around the notion that the very poor are in no position to handle money when they are struggling to simply survive. So the poor are denied the power and responsibility the rest of us take for granted in managing our finances.

But the new face of microcredit involves a system called Graduation, programs that first stabilize the individual with basic food, medicine, shelter, and training on how to manage money. Only when the client is shown to be ready are micro-loan funds dispersed. Success rate with these new approaches are over 90 per cent. As Canada’s concern is now being addressed, it’s time we began funding microcredit for the world’s poorest.

Local resident shares her story in B.C.’s eating disorders campaign Aldergrove Star

A Langley resident is one of 28 guest bloggers as part of the 2014 launch for the Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness (PEDAW) campaign.

Throughout the month of February, guest bloggers from Canada and the United States have shared their perspectives on a variety of topics relating to eating disorders, body image and more.

Julia Manson Cheng’s post, “Eating Disorder Recovery in the Gym,” tells the story of how her once negative and compulsive relationship with exercise transformed into something that was a key piece in her eating disorder recovery.

Cheng writes, “It’s been quite a few years since my own personal journey into recovery from an eating disorder (anorexia), although I still clearly remember the days when exercise was a compulsive activity.”

Cheng describes the obligation to exercise as “men-

Friendly gardens keep streams safe for salmon Aldergrove Star

The next time you go to douse that dandelion on your lawn with pesticide, think about this: dandelions provide nutritious meals to bees, and bees provide nutritious meals to us.

Plus, when the rain washes the pesticide away, the run-off gets swept, untreated, into storm drains which lead into fish-bearing streams.

“There are many natural alternatives to cosmetic pesticides that are not harmful to the environment,” said Taryn Hesketh, an environmental coordinator with the Township of Langley, which is partnering with the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) to present a Salmon Friendly Gardens Seminar.

The event is part of the Grow Healthy Grow Smart program, which encourages residents to think about alternatives to pesticides for cosmetic uses in their

lawns and gardens.

The free Salmon Friendly Gardens Seminar will be held Saturday, March 8, 1 to 4:30 p.m., at the Township of Langley Civic Facility, 20338 – 65 Avenue.

Pre-registration is required by contacting 604-546-0338 or outreach@leps.bc.ca.

During the event, presentations will be made by guest speakers, including Brian Minter of Minter Gardens, who will discuss Organic Ornamental Gardening, and Andrea Bellamy, author of Sugar Snaps and Strawberries, who will talk about Gourmet Edible Gardening.

Invasive plant specialist Lisa Dreves will talk about Invasive Plant Control and the Kwantlen Polytechnic University School of Horticulture will have its seed library catalogue on hand.

“You need a well-balanced garden,” said Kim Greenwood, special projects coordinator for LEPS.

She notes that, while people tend to want ornamental plants and flowers to bloom in their yards, it is the foliage that springs up naturally which provide the best benefits to the ecosystem.

According to Greenwood, many of the bees that provide the pollination required to grow the plants that humans eat are tiny, non-stinging insects that may not even be recognizable as bees. But their role in the environment has far-reaching effects.

“One in every three bites we take is provided by a bee and having dandelions make it easier for bees to forage,” she said.

“For them, some ornamental flowers are like going to a fast food place for a burger, but dandelions provide them with a healthy meal. If you have variety in your garden, your bees are set.

They have a buffet!”

In fact, the highly-nutritious dandelions themselves can also be eaten – and enjoyed – by

humans.

“Embrace nature and become innovative in managing your lawn and garden,” said Hesketh.

“The result will be felt all the way out to our streams and watercourses. By avoiding cosmetic pesticides you can help the health of the salmon, bugs, and all the other creatures that are a valuable part of our ecosystem.”

The Salmon Friendly Gardens Seminar kicks off the Grow Healthy Grow Smart program, which will run throughout the spring and summer.

During special events and seminars, staff will encourage the reduced use of cosmetic pesticides and give away information booklets and grass seeds.

Displays with take-home information will also be set up at various Township of Langley recreation facilities.

Aid sought for Ukrainian protest victims

By FRANK BUCHOLTZ Aldergrove Star

The honourary consul for Ukraine in B.C., Mir Huculak, is publicizing opportunities for British Columbians to help the families of shooting victims in Kyiv, Ukraine, and those who were injured in anti-government protests. Between 75 and 100 people died in the upheaval, which led to President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing Kyiv on Friday, and a plan for new elections in May. Huculak is a regular attendant at Langley’s International

Festival, where he represents the many Canadians of Ukrainian background. Canada has the third-largest group of people of Ukrainian descent in the world, behind only Ukraine itself and Russia. The total number of Canadian residents of Ukrainian descent is 1.5 million.

Many of the original Ukrainians who came to Canada did so before the First World War to settle on the Prairies, but there has been a steady wave of immigration over the years. This has often been due to a series of tragic circumstances, including

the forced starvation of millions under Josef Stalin, known as the Holodomor, and the upheaval and destruction caused by the Second World War, in which about seven million Ukrainians died. In more recent years, immigrants have come to Canada from Ukraine, since it gained its independence when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics collapsed in 1991.

Langley MP Mark Warawa is of Ukrainian descent, and has made a number of representations on behalf of Ukrainians and Canadian of Ukrainian back-

ground in his 10 years as an MP. Huculak said that people wishing to make tax-deductible donations, which will be used for humanitarian relief for shooting victims’ families and injured protesters, can donate online through the CUF Maidan Fund, at www.cufoundation.ca, or through Ukrainian Canadian Social Services, at https://www. canadahelps.org/dn/15000.

Non-tax deductible donations can be sent to Ukrainian Canadian Congress, at 145 Evans Avenue – Suite 208, Toronto, Ontario, M8Z 5X8.

Important Registration Reminder for Parents Parents must register students BEFORE March 31, 2014 in order to ensure a placement in neighbourhood catchment schools for September 2014.

By now, all families who plan to register students in Langley Schools for September 2014 should have completed the registration process at their neighbourhood catchment school. Unless students have successfully completed registration in a choice program at a different school site, families should be completing the registration process at neighbourhood catchment schools. Cross boundary applicants will not receive a response about pending applications until June 13. Therefore, at this time families should be registered at neighbourhood catchment schools.

As per Langley School District Policy 7008, registrations received after March 31, 2014 may not result in a placement in neighbourhood catchment schools.

For more information please visit your neighbourhood catchment school.

Amended Calendar Consultation In last spring’s calendar consultation process the District approved a three year calendar.

What has now come to the District’s attention is that the 2015-2016 calendar Spring Break is out of line with other Metro Districts.

An important piece of feedback received through the comprehensive calendar consultation was that parents and staff wanted alignment with other districts. As a result, the proposed amendment to the 2015-2016 calendar would bring alignment by changing the date of Spring Break from March 21-April 1, 2016 to March 14-28, 2016.

To view the currently approved 2015-2016 calendar and the proposed amended 20152016 calendar please visit sd35.bc.ca/district/ communications/.

In order to change an approved calendar the District is required by legislation to undertake a consultation process for 30 days. This process will begin on Wednesday, February 26 and continue until March 27. To participate in the consultation process District families may complete an online survey at sd35.bc.ca/ district/communications or send an email to feedback@sd35.bc.ca.

Workers sort out contaminants at Emterra Environmental’s material recovery facility in Surrey. The plant is one of three that will process recyclables collected for Multi-Material BC.

New container recycling system starts to take shape

By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star

A new container recycling plant will be built in the Lower Mainland this year as industry stewardship group MultiMaterial B.C. takes over responsibility for an expanded blue box recycling program.

MMBC on Thursday named Green

By Nature EPR, a firm formed by three recycling industry partners, to handle the processing of packaging and printed paper province-wide.

Cascades Recovery, Emterra Environmental and Merlin Plastics are the three companies that have joined forces to invest $32 million building the new container recycling plant, a new material recovery facility in Nanaimo, as well as other infrastructure.

Green By Nature won’t handle the curbside collection of packaging – that will still be done mostly by local municipalities, except for a few locations where new collectors are yet to be named.

Besides new plants, existing operations will also be used.

A material recovery facility in Surrey run by Emterra will help sort materials, and the plastics recovered are expected to be processed at Merlin Plastics’ plant in Delta.

A site for the new container plant hasn’t yet been revealed.

“The entire system is designed to shift everything into two streams,” said MMBC managing director Allen Langdon. “One is for fibres – newspapers, cardboard and printed papers – and the other for containers.”

Green By Nature expects to employ

570 workers in all.

The new system – slated to launch May 19 – promises to add 10 new types of containers or other materials to what households can place in blue boxes.

The new categories include milk cartons, foam packaging, plant pots, aluminum foil packages, plastic clamshell containers and drink cups.

Langdon said a public education campaign will launch in late April.

In most communities, glass bottles and jars will be directed to depots, instead of curbside pickup, but Langdon said there are exceptions, as some municipalities have opted to continue segregated glass pickup.

MMBC says it needs to keep glass separate from paper and other recyclables to avoid contamination that slashes the value of materials.

“There will be a much better chance of it being recycled,” Langdon said, noting 90 per cent of glass going into blue boxes actually now ends up going to landfills.

MMBC’s operations are expected to cost $85 million per year and be fully funded by its member businesses, which include major retailers and consumer product makers.

The stewardship group is targeting a 75 per cent recycling rate, up from 50 per cent province-wide now.

The producer-pay system, mandated by the provincial government, has been controversial. Cities have feared they’ll be forced to pay more to maintain service, while businesses worry about paperwork and MMBC-levied fees to recycle the packaging they generate.

Oil sands ‘experts’ come here Aldergrove Star

The Langley Chapter of The PIPE UP Network will be hosting a free public event with world-renowned experts on the Alberta tar sands and the realities and risks of having a diluted bitumen pipeline built in the Lower Mainland.

The event is wheelchair accessible, free, and open to the public.

As the National Energy Board gears up for a hearing on Kinder Morgan’s proposal to build a new export pipeline for heavy oil through the communities of the Lower Mainland, it is essential that local residents have quality information about the risks and realities about having this project cut through our communities.

Speakers will include Andrew

Nikiforuk (“The real bottom-line of oil economics”), Melina LaboucanMassimo (“Growing up in the shadow of the tar sands”), Liz McDowell: “Property Values & Pipelines: Will your home be affected?”), Arno Kopecky: “Northern Gateway’s ground zero: Are we next?”), and Trenton Pierre: “How does a pipeline proposal affect us now and in the future?”).

The community forum will be held at Walnut Grove Secondary (8919 Walnut Grove Dr, Langley) on Saturday, March 8 from 12:30 - 5:30 p.m. Doors at noon, speakers start at 12:30 p.m.

Free childcare will be provided.

Refreshments will be served by the Water Shed Arts Café. Raffle prizes are provided by local businesses.

also give those who may have heard of or visited Thunderbird - or “Tbird” as it is branded - as spectators a chance to make use of the venue themselves.

“You don’t have to be a world cup show jumper to come to Thunderbird,” Tidball said. “We want to welcome the grassroots industry – that’s where we all started.”

Thunderbird Show Park was originally opened by Tidball’s parents George and Dianne in 1973. At the time, it was located in northwest Langley where the Colossus movie theater now stands. Built on the family’s “Shakes, Steaks, and Thunder” philosophy – the Tidballs opened the first McDonalds restaurant in Canada in 1967 and are the founders of The Keg restaurants – Thunderbird prides itself on the atmosphere it pro-

vides all its clients.

“We are smaller but the riders like coming here,” said Tidball. “We have received some high accolades.”

Named by the North American Riders Group as the continent’s second best international show jumping venue for three years in a row, Thunderbird has been ranked alongside iconic equestrian centres like the Kentucky Horse Park and Spruce Meadows.

“We are quite humbled by that,” Tidball said, but notes it is also important that the centre be accessible to everyone.

“We have our roots in the restaurant business and know that customer service is so important.

One of our goals here is to treat our customers like guests in our own home.”

Thunderbird Show Park is holding drop-in community riding sessions on Tuesdays and Saturdays to let horse enthusiasts enjoy their sport all year long.

272 St

For 40 years, Thunderbird Show Park in the Township of Langley has been a centre for equestrian excellence. The hub of all sport breeds and disciplines in the province - a great fit for Langley, since it is the Horse Capital of B.C. - it is home to world cup show jumping and ranked as one of the top competition facilities in North America.

The equestrian facility brings in competitors and spectators from across the globe, but this winter, it is the riders and horse enthusiasts in Thunderbird’s own back yard that the facility is extending a warm – and dry – welcome to.

The Show Park at 24550 – 72 Avenue is currently offering drop-in community rides that will give local residents with horses the opportunity to enjoy riding indoors.

The winter’s cold, wet weather can often be a deterrent to riders, and Thunderbird President Jane Tidball hopes the community sessions will let equestrians enjoy their favorite pursuit all year long.

Riders are encouraged to bring their horses and drop in anytime between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and can stay for as long as they like during the day.

The Zone 3 Fraser Valley Karate Team recently competed at the BC Winter Games in Mission where they earned 19 medals (one Gold, four Silver and 14 Bronze ). The team was coached by Sensei Steve Tang of Aldergrove Karate Club, Sensei Tammy Miller and Junior Coach Shakiba Fadaie (she also won the Karate Junior Coach Award).

The team was made up of students from karate clubs in the Fraser Valley, including four from the Aldergrove Karate Club. The team spent four days together away from home and competitive fun, new friends, and lifetime memories were had by all.

Karl Beugh, Christian Burton and Alexander Singh won bronze in Special Olympics basketball.

Four coaches also received medals for their efforts behind the bench or on the sidelines.

Taking gold were Sarah Beattie (hockey) and Mitch Kosterman (wheelchair basketball) while Shakiba Fadaie (karate) won silver and Jonathan Osers (gymnastics) won bronze with their respective teams.

TARDI STRONG Team Tardi (Fraser Valley, Zone 3) lost just

once at the BC Winter Games, but it was enough to drop the Langley Curling Club quartet to the bronze medal in the male curling event.

Tyler Tardi skipped his team to a win all three round robin games, but the group couldn’t hang on to a 3-1 lead after five ends in Saturday’s semifinal and fell 6-3 to Brayden Carpenter of Zone 4 (Fraser River Delta).

victory in just six ends.

Tardi had a strong start, scoring two in the first end. Then after holding the Zone 2 team to one in the second end, the Cloverdale resident tacked on four points in the third medal for a 6-1 lead after just three ends of play. “There’s less pressure when you’re not playing for the gold medal,� said Tardi. “The two teams in the final deserve to be there, they were playing very well. Bronze is what we deserved.�

Other members of the bronze medal team include Nicholas Umbach of Coquitlam, Scottie Kryski of Langley and Joshua Desrosiers of Aldergrove.

Following the BC Games, Tardi was presented with the W. R. Bennett Award for Athletic Excellence. He was nominated by Curl BC, and was chosen over all other male competitors in all sports at the BC Games. He will receive a $2,500 bursary to “support his ongoing development in sport or education.�

GOLDEN MEMORIES The Fraser Valley (Zone 3) female hockey team capped an unbeaten

run through the competition to win the gold medal at the BC Winter Games on Sunday morning in Mission.

Two Maple Ridge girls were part of that golden performance, Emily Duchak and Alexis Kahlert. Kahlert’s goal stood as the winner in the final, as the Zone 3 team hung on for a 3-2 victory over the Fraser River Delta (Zone 4) team in a game that was in doubt until the final buzzer.

Aldergrove’s Alicia Perez put Fraser Valley ahead less than three minutes into the game.

Before the first period was over, Priya Sidhu of Surrey and Kahlert upped the difference to 3-0.

Fraser River Delta made it 3-2 with six minutes left, then spent the final minute in the Fraser Valley zone, but were unable to force overtime. “Coming into the tournament, on paper I think we were the favourites to win,� said Fraser Valley head coach Al Wozney. “So a lot of that pressure was on us. The girls really came together in the second game against Vancouver Island.

And that shootout win propelled us through the next two games.�

Kodiaks sweep Outlaws, Pilots next in playoffs Aldergrove Star

In the end, the depth of the Aldergrove Kodiaks was too much for the over-matched Mission City Outlaws.

“We had a couple of lapses there and they put pressure on us, but for the most part, we dominated,” said Kodiaks coach Brad Rihela.

“Mission had their chances and battled hard, but Jordan Liem was great for us in goal.”

The junior B Kodiaks completed their first round sweep in the PJHL’s best-of-seven series on Wednesday, Feb. 26, at the Aldergrove Arena, with a 6-2 victory in game four.

The Kodiaks also won by scores of 5-2, 5-1 and 6-3.

In the final game, the Outlaws led 1-0 after one period — it was the first time Aldergrove trailed the entire series — but three goals in the second and then three more to open the third put the game out of reach.

The Kodiaks scored four times on the power play. Aldergrove, which won the Harold Brittain Conference with 72 points, used their superior depth to fashion the sweep.

Stephen Ryan, the leading scorer in the PJHL during the regular season with 41 goals and 88 points in 44 games, didn’t score until game four

points behind Aldergrove, and won their first round series in five games over the Ridge Meadows Flames.

“It is going to be a tough test for us, two really good hockey clubs,” Rihela said. “We have been looking forward to this all year. We are excited and we are ready.”

The teams played six times during the regular season, but after the Pilots won the first two, Aldergrove won the final four. One of the victories was in overtime.

And while Abbotsford would love nothing more than to knock off their division rivals, the Pilots are guaranteed a spot at the provincial championships as the host team in April.

“They have a lot of talent over there and it’s a healthy rivalry,” Rihela said.

“The key is going to be to execute.”

The second round series with Abbotsford got underway with games one and two at the Aldergrove Arena on March 4 and 5. (after Star deadline, see website for updates) The series shifts to Abbotsford’s MSA Arena for games three and four on March 7 and 8. If needed, the series returns to Aldergrove Arena for game five on Wednesday, March 2, 7:15 p.m. Game six would be at MSA Arena, Friday, March 14, 7:30 p.m.

Ten top trucks to get the job done Very similar in design to its big brother the Silverado, this mid-size truck fills a void in Canada. Still expected to work as hard as a full-size truck, the Colorado can tow more than 3,039 kilograms (6700 lbs) a 2.5L I-4 engine is standard with an optional 3.6L V6 with a six speed automatic transmission.

2015 GMC 3500HD Denali is a beast. This truck is built to pull and with 10,251 KG (22,600 lbs) of trailer towing capacity it does just that. The 6.6L V8 turbo engine delivers 397 hp and 765 lb ft of torque

What are my favourite trucks? – It’s a question readers ask me all the time in the supermarket and on the street.

Though not in order of preference, here are my ten choices.

2014 GMC/Chevy Silverado/Sierra ½ ton pickup has gone through some monumental changes this year.

What an improvement with a very comfortable and refined interior on all trim levels, and three engine choices, the Eco Tec 4.3-litre V6, 5.3-litre V8, and a 6.2-litre V8.

Drives-U-Crazy passing on the right Many drivers appear ignorant of the rules concerning when it is okay to a pass a vehicle on the right.

You must not pass on the right of another vehicle on a road marked with a single lane unless that driver is making or signaling a left turn. Frequently drivers zip to the right of a traffic waiting at the lights in a bid to roar off in front at the green. It’s extremely selfish because invariably it prevents cars making a right on a red.

If caught the fine is $109 fine and tw2 Driver Penalty Points.

CMHC just announced that they are increasing Mortgage Loan Insurance premiums by 15% come May 1st, 2014. The new insurance premium for a purchaser with 5% down goes from 2.75% to 3.15%. Not so great news for those purchasing with less than 20% down. Those who have (or had) their insurance request submitted to CMHC prior to May 1st will not be affected, no matter of the closing date. Expect the other Canadian Insurers to follow suit.

Loan-to-Value Ratio Standard Premium (Current) Up to and including 65% 0.50% Up to and including 75% 0.65% Up to and including 80% 1.00% Up to and including 85% 1.75% Up to and including 90% 2.00% Up to and including 95% 2.75% 90.01% to 95% - Non-Traditional Down Payment 2.90%

Standard Premium (Effective May 1, 2014) 0.60% 0.75% 1.25% 1.80% 2.40% 3.15% 3.35%

What this means is the mortgages for clients with less than 20% down (usually) will have larger premiums. As these are typically added to the mortgage, this means that that the clients will actually be qualifying for slightly less funds to purchase. This will likely have an impact on any buyer going with a High Ratio mortgage.
