Aldergrove Couple Bats ‘Home Run’ Wedding
Canada geese create border ‘carnage’ By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star

Pastor pitches connubial bliss By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
Pastor Wes Dahl reckons he’s performed marriage ceremonies for 50 couples in his career but on Monday evening he pitched his first-ever connubial bliss home run. More than a hundred guests, many of them wearing baseball uniforms, sat in the bleachers on an Aldergrove baseball diamond infield for the baseball-themed exchange of vows by Barb Andrews and Bruce Taylor. Prior to the ceremony the couple had
posed for official wedding pictures while wielding bats in the ball diamond. The dugout had been decorated with curtains and bows, the home base had a heart placed atop it and the table for signing the marriage documents was made of baseball bat legs. To top it off, the bride had cut a baseball in half, placed the wedding bands inside it and taped it up so that the wedding party could throw the ball around the field before the couple opened it up and placed the rings on each others’ hands. The couple, who first met seven years
ago at a Cinco de Mayo “Boogie for Books” fundraising dance for Aldergrove’s Betty Gilbert school, are obviously baseball fanatics. It is the second marriage for both of them and they had both brought their four, now-grown children up with a love for the game as well. Bruce also served as the school’s Parents Advisory Council president at the time when he first met Barb, and the couple continues to be active members of, and contributors to, the community’s events — especially baseball.

They may be called Canada geese by name, but by address they are very much American. Langley residents living along a portion of Zero Avenue wish these waterfowl would stay in the States. The Canadian geese are already nesting and babies are hatching. Then they will start crossing the road several times a day in the 23200 block of Zero Avenue, said resident Trudy Handel. “It’s been a real frustration. Drivers are going way too fast, and many geese and babies are killed each year,” said Handel. Neighbours have just put up their own sandwich boards on the side of the road last week saying “watch for baby geese.” The Township did put up another Watch for Wildlife sign but it hasn’t helped with many drivers looking for deer crossing, said Handel. Apparently the grass is greener on the Canadian side, as this year’s batch of mother geese get ready to take their goslings from their swamp home on the American side of Zero Ave. across the road to the Canadian side to eat grass several times a day. The Langley RCMP are aware of the problem and are warning drivers to watch for this “seasonal hazard” and slow down. Speed enforcement may be looked at for that area. Handel said it’s not so much about the geese, but about the dangers of these feathered friends crossing the road. “Someone is going to get hurt.” She hears drivers honking at the geese and has seen near rear-enders and head-on collisions as drivers try to maneuver around the big birds. Handel has spoken to wildlife experts and fencing doesn’t even deter these determined American geese from crossing the road. Neighbours in the area are hoping for some speed enforcement and a dramatic sign warning drivers.

Young tiger found dead
Barb and Bruce Taylor’s marriage received an “honour guard” from Aldergrove Baseball after their wedding ceremony on the ball diamond Monday evening.

Baseball couple loves their community FROM FRONT:
Giving back to their community is important to Bruce and Barb. They have volunteered countless hours on numerous community projects, not the least of which is Aldergrove Minor Baseball. Whether it is holding a position on the executive board, coaching, umpiring, spending pre-season time on field maintenance, preparing fields pre-games or simply cheering on teams, there is a good
chance you’ll find one or the other at the field. This generous spirit may explain why their wedding didn’t get rained out, as the skies opened up with a brilliant sun just before the ceremony. Pastor Dahl expressed it well, drawing on both Biblical scripture and pithy baseball aphorisms in his words to the couple. He quoted baseball great Mickey Mantle, who once said, “The older I get, the bet-
ter I was” to hearty laughs from the couple and guests, as well as a quote from Proverbs. “Let love and faithfulness never leave you; wear it like a necklace around your neck, write it on the tablet of your heart.” And with that the couple boarded a golf cart which had a dozen baseballs tied to the bumper and were driven off, smiling and waving, to the reception at the nearby community centre.
A second Siberian tiger has died at the Greater Vancouver Zoo. On Wednesday, the Zoo issued a statement after her handlers found her dead. “The Greater Vancouver Zoo is in complete shock after discovering Hani deceased first thing this morning. She appeared healthy although it was noticed by her keepers that she had been abnormally off her food for a day, lethargic and her behaviour was off,” said zoo manager Jodi Henderson. Hani was born at Aldergrove’s sister zoo, Seoul Zoo Korea, on May 22, 2011. Hani arrived at the Zoo with her sister, Hana, on June 4, 2012. Hani was the smaller of the two tigers and had a quiet demeanor when compared to her sister. All staff and volun-

The Greater Vancouver Zoo found Hani the Siberian tiger dead Wednesday morning, April 30. the zoo said Sweetie, the Siberian tiger, had to be put down on Tuesday “as a result of continued concern regarding her loss of appetite, respiratory distress and being lethargic.” Sweetie had been in poor health for the last month and a half, the zoo said.

Tree protection an issue outside Brookswood, too Two older trees had to be cut down because they were dead, says neighbour By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
Two large trees had to be cut down in the area of 240 Street and 63 Avenue of Langley Township because they were dead and posed a potential hazard to a nearby house, some residents of the area told The Times. Their comments came following publication of a story about the tree-cutting on Thursday. The tree-cutting was reported by local residents Jim and Loraine Davis, who said the towering fir trees were planted on the former farm where she grew up, as an informal war memorial almost 100 years ago.

shape. Nickel told The Times the owner has told him that the decision was made to cut down the trees before their condition worsened to the point where they presented a physical hazard. Davis maintains the incident underlines the need for a tree-cutting regulation for the rest of Langley similar to the recently-approved clear-cutting ban in Brookswood/Fernridge that limits chopping to 20 per cent of the trees on a property or eight trees, whichever is less. The Brookswood/ Fernridge bylaw took effect April 29, when it received final approval by Township council on a 5-4 vote.

Another person who lives in the area, though not on the property where the trees were chopped down, wrote The Times to defend her neighbour. Maaike Wansink said the owner explained to her that the trees died “because the Township ordered them to put in a drainage ditch, by which means the roots got damaged.” Jim Davis said the property owner contacted him after the article appeared in The Times and told him an arborist had certified the trees as dead. Davis said he was surprised to hear that, because the trees did not seem to him to be in obviously poor

tree-cutting, but lives on a different property near the location, said the trees had to go because they were obviously in poor shape. “There were no needles, just branches sticking out,” Nickel said. “Those trees were dead.” Nickel said the two trees were huge, “monstrous” evergreens that could have caused significant damage if they came down on the house in a wind storm. “Two men could not put their arms around them [the trees],” said Nickel. Nickel said the crew doing the tree-cutting discovered the trees had been riddled with nails, likely pounded into the trunk back when the land was being used as a farm. “They [the crew chop-

Odyssey of the Mind takes Alice Brown students to BC championships
HARRY HUNT PHOTOS
Students of Aldergrove’s Fraser Valley Academy have volunteered their labour for the “Extreme Home Repair” being conducted this month at the Aldergrove home of Pat Tapper. The home will be completely renovated in time for the “big reveal” slated for Victoria Day, May 19, by volunteers and contributors from throughout the area. Persons interested in helping the project can call the AOK outreach of the Aldergrove Seventh-day Adventist Church at 604-856-5879 for details on how to become involved.
issues that resulted in switching to a four wheel design. As well as the actual vehicle construction, students had to create and perform a skit highlighting their project as well as design and build all the props and backdrops for the production. The competition also included a spontaneous challenge that required the students to build a bridge between two desks that could support eight ping-pong balls out of pipe cleaners, paper clips and the like. The team was made up of grade 7 students Jackson, Chris, Ty and Maddie; grade 6 students CJ and Emma; and grade 5 student Evan. The team placed 4th in the Province of BC after making it through the qualifying round. Unfortunately a small weld - the students cannot accept any help on the project - resulted in a penalty that caused them to place lower than their initial score.
Carpentry students donate bench to Senior’s Centre Students from the ACSS ACE-IT Carpentry program donated the bench to the Langley Seniors Recreation and Resource Centre and installed it just outside the front doors of the centre. The students, along with teacher Andy Gaumont, made the bench from cast concrete and composite wood. At over 500 pounds, the bench is substantial and required six students
to load and unload. Initially benches were being constructed for the WGSS hallways but since the mould was already made, it was simple to make another for donation, said Gaumont. A few seniors nearby were happy to join the young men from ACSS for a picture and expressed their thanks for the new bench. The ACE-IT program allows students to work toward apprenticeships while attending high school and provides valuable trades training for Langley students.

Seven Alice Brown students entered the Odyssey of the Mind competition with their teacher Sheila Ford and made an impressive showing at the Provincial competition. The Odyssey of the Mind is an international educational program that challenges students’ problem-solving abilities and includes categories for students kindergarten to college level. Students must apply creativity to problem-solving whether it is building a mechanical device or explaining literary classics. For the students of Alice Brown, that meant building a car from ‘found objects’ or trash and ‘up cycling’ the materials into a workable vehicle. Featuring parts from two old bicycles, lumber, plastic sheeting and a cordless drill, the Alice Brown vehicle has two propulsion systems and is capable of movement forward and backward when driven by one of the students. Working with a restrictive budget of $145 (raised with a bake sale!) and relying on trash was not easy but the group worked together as a team and dedicated many hours to the project in school, during lunch breaks, after school and over the weekend. The team cut the bike frames to size with hacksaws and used wood saws on the 2x4’s as well as a drill press as part of the construction - a new experience with tools for many of the group. The plans evolved over the construction, for example, a three-wheeled vehicle proved to have stability and steering

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has rolled out its ambitious overhaul of the public education system, from kindergarten to graduate school, much to the horror of its left-wing establishment. The formal title is B.C.’s Skills For Jobs Blueprint: Re-engineering Education and Training. It’s designed to dovetail with the Harper regime’s Canada Job Grant that requires employers to co-sponsor training spaces so they will hire the students at the end. Elementary and middle school curriculum is being revised to increase emphasis on hands-on experience. High school and post-secondary skilled trades programs are getting more money, but it’s going to be shifted from under-performing programs that don’t lead to jobs. Premier Christy Clark took another swipe at the bias of B.C.’s system before heading to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong on another liquefied natural gas sales trip. She noted that 20% of B.C. students, and nearly half of aboriginal students, don’t finish high school. “Not only are there kids who don’t graduate, there are kids who graduate, go out and get one or two credentials before they finally find their way into a skills training program,” said Clark, who had her own wander through university campuses before going into politics. A couple of weeks ago,
Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter downplayed the “relatively small” skilled trades shortage for B.C. industry. “We should not be engaged in a zero-sum kind of battle for dollars,” Petter protested. That’s exactly what he and other university executives are looking at, and it will be based on the latest graduate employment data and labour demand forecasts. One of the key architects of this sweeping plan is Jessica McDonald, who shook up the public service while serving as Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister. Her report on trades training confirms what Campbell’s critics in the labour movement have long said: the government’s 10-year experiment with the Industry Training Authority is a rudderless mess. “Certain partners, particularly organized labour, feel marginalized,” McDonald wrote. “Others, particularly employers and employers’ associations, do not feel heard within the system. Over the recent past, several new directions have been introduced such as de-regulation of trades and modular training that have caused strain because they were not fully inclusive during development, were seen to benefit single interests, and they impacted the whole system.” The ITA board is being replaced, with union representation restored, and advi-
sory councils from industrial employers will update their hiring needs. The B.C. Federation of Labour and the construction unions have all but abandoned the NDP after Adrian Dix’s disastrous pitch for urban anti-industry votes last year. B.C. Fed president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for rescuing skilled trades from the second-class status they received in a culture fixated on university for two generations. That culture has created glaring problems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block funding is handed out without any serious effort to measure the results. For many students, university has become an extension of adolescence, finding one’s self through philosophy or film studies. Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades training to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them. Skills-based employment data will be made public for students to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can expect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education. It’s about time.

Editor: An overflow crowd gathered at Brookswood Fire Hall No. 5 on Sunday May 4 to pay tribute to Brenda Reddick, who died April 13 at age 53 of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Brenda beat cancer, but she couldn’t defeat the ravages of the cruelest dementia that kills at such a comparatively youthful age. The wife of longtime Langley firefighter Rick Reddick and mom of sons Keith and Brent was also “den mother” over the years to dozens of firefighters, who turned out in droves for the celebration of her courageous life. She was also the first honoree, in 2011-2012, of the very first local Walk for Memories, an annual fundraiser for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. that trod new territory at Aldergrove’s Athletic Park on January 29, 2012. She bravely stepped forward to be the poster face of this event despite reeling from the recent confirmation of early-onset Alzheimer’s — a disease that had already caused her father’s death and afflicted another family member. She did so, despite some reservations voiced by family and friends, because she wanted to raise the profile of the dementia campaign and show that it affects more than the (wrongly) stereotypical image of an elderly grandmother doddering gently into her final night. And what a difference she made. Thanks to Brenda’s courage and the support of her extended firefighting family, the first Walk for Memories raised $44,000, way beyond its organizers’ dreams. Thanks to Brenda’s bold first step, the Reddicks and that firefighting family have stayed with the Langley-Aldergrove-Abbotsford Walk for Memories through its second and third years, helping in so many ways to keep Brenda’s dream alive. In a remarkable eulogy Sunday to his wife of more than 30 years, Rick Reddick said firemen are always called heroes when they save lives. “They’re not heroes. That’s their job,” he said. “Brenda was a hero.” That she was. She may be gone from us but, thanks to continuing support for our Walk for Memories, her courage and determination will live on. Janet Ingram-Johnson, (founding chair, Langley-Aldergrove-Abbotsford Walk for Memories), Aldergrove
Progress is inevitable Editor: While I accept that progress in inevitable, the recent announced twinning of the road (264 Street) from the border north has me concerned. Over the last three years, I have repeatedly questioned the Ministry of Transportation in Victoria concerning any expansion plans. I have made three visits and two phone calls to the Township office in quest of updates of any anticipated plans, only to be repeatedly told there was nothing in the planning or discussion stages. I made enquiries as recent as February of this year. The increases in highway truck traffic has become an audible nuisance. Enquiries to Ministry of the Environment regarding noise barriers fell on deaf ears, in spite of the recent study undertaken by UBC regarding the impacts to the physical and mental health by constantly repetitive noise, regardless of the decibel level. I am concerned about the quality of my life and health. I am quite prepared to enter a dialogue with all parties involved and willing to consider expropriation, although our first and only home purchase in B.C. has a lot of emotion attached. My wife and I are very fatalistic concerning the inevitability of progress, if all parties’ interests are given equal consideration. Terry Brenan, Aldergrove
Is this ‘green’ energy?
Editor: If Metro builds their garbage incinerator it will have to be classed as ‘green’ renewable energy which they would sell to BC Hydro for four times current Hydro rates which would be passed on to all B.C. residents. So, if you’re OK with that, do nothing; otherwise do something and quickly. Proponents argue that the ash residue is ‘only’ 10% and not 20% plus as I have said before, but is anyone OK with even 70 tonnes of toxic ash being landfilled somewhere in BC for at least 50 years? Oh! and goodbye to recycling, because it’s combustible. Gary Huntbatch, Abbotsford

Smoking cessation: Clarence’s success story

Learning the Skills to Succeed
Aldergrove Star
Clarence Lundberg’s former co-workers thought he would never stop smoking. After all, wouldn’t quitting smoking after 45 years be impossible? Clarence started smoking when he was only 12 years old, and got used to waking up in the morning and starting his day with a cup of coffee and a cigarette. He enjoyed the “harsh” taste of cigarette smoke, preferring unfiltered cigarettes to filtered ones that tasted”watered down” compared with the real deal. So why did Clarence decide to take the big step toward quitting tobacco? “It all started in the fall of 2011, when I went to the doctor for a regular check-up. I was lucky to be asked if I wanted to take part in a lung test program, and this is when I was diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,” he said. “I was concerned when the research doctor told me I could continue to keep smoking, but I would need an oxygen tank next to the bed in a year or two. That’s something my new girlfriend, and now wife, would definitely not find attractive.” Clarence is a success story. Through the Smoking Cessation Program and additional coaching and support with QuitNow services, he has now been smoke-free for over a year and a half. “When the doctor told me I was facing a future with an oxygen tank, I tried to quit smoking straight away. And I did quit, but I realized I needed more support and help when I relapsed and began smoking again. I took steps to quit with the Smoking Cessation Program and used the patches and the coaching programs. I liked the patches in particular, as they took away my cravings for a morning cigarette.” The future looks brighter and clearer for Clarence, who experienced a multitude of benefits once he stopped smoking. He used to wake up in the morning with a persistent cough, sometimes coughing for over five minutes straight. “Before I quit smoking, I wouldn’t have believed how much healthier I could feel. My circulation got much better-my hands and feet have colour and are warm instead of white and cold. I don’t have an oxygen tank next to the bed and my morning cough is gone. I have much better stamina, and I can easily swim 2,000 metres and close to 20 metres under water.” His improvement was noticeable to family, friends and co-workers. “My friends and co-workers tell me I look much better now, and I have even started growing some hair back on my head. I look forward to many more years with my new wife and my family. I can visit my grandchildren in Sweden and know I will have more smoke-free years to visit with them. My family is proud of my commitment to stop smoking.” What kind of advice does Clarence offer to others looking to improve their lives by going smoke-free? “No matter how many years you smoke, you can instantly feel better if you quit. Try replacing cigarettes with healthy habits like snacking on fruit and drinking water. The benefits are great and immediate. I also feel it is a great incentive of the British Columbia government to support the Smoking Cessation Program and QuitNow. They were a great help for me, and I think they could help many more just like me to quit. After all, I’m the one they said would never quit, and now look at me. When I decided to go public about quitting smoking, I became a role model. I am happy that I quit and I would like everybody who smokes to have the same positive experience I had. The years ahead look much brighter now, when not clouded in smoke.” Scott McDonald, BC Lung Association CEO, says, “Quitting smoking isn’t easy. Clarence showed that by trying hard, asking for help and following through with his commitment to his family, he could quit. I hope his story encourages many others to call QuitNow or visit QuitNow.ca for help and to learn about the Smoking Cessation Program today.” Looking for support or information on how to plan quitting?

Week enhances awareness of drinking water Aldergrove Star
How well do you know your drinking water? That is the question the Township of Langley’s Water Wise team will be posing during Drinking Water Week, which runs May 4 – 10. “Here in Canada, we can turn on the tap and fill our glasses with clean, clear, and safe drinking water,” said Taryn
Hesketh, Environmental Coordinator with the Township of Langley. “But not everyone knows where it comes from, or the steps we can take to conserve and protect this valuable resource into the future.” That’s why staff from Water Wise will be on hand at Costco, 20499 – 64 Avenue, from 11am to 2pm on Sunday, May 3, to educate residents
about Langley’s unique drinking water resource. During the event, visitors can hear how to sustainably water their lawn and garden during the summer months, and kids can spin the Water Wise wheel to win prizes. Water Wise is a Township of Langley initiative that teaches residents about the importance of local groundwater resources and pro-

vides information, tools, and incentives to protect our drinking water supply. “In Township communities, about half of our drinking water comes from local groundwater supplies; the other half is supplied by the Coquitlam watershed,” Hesketh said. “Township residents and businesses use 12.8 million cubic metres of water every year - the equivalent to filling 5,120 Olympic sized swimming pools. About 65% of the water used in our homes comes from the showers, baths, and toilets in our bathrooms. We encourage residents to learn more by coming to our May 3 event or visiting tol.ca/waterwise.”

‘First Salmon’ a meaningful event

This Mother’s Day, we’ve got you covered.
lic opinion, now realize that Canada’s large number of First Nations add something unique and very special to the fabric of our country. And First Nations people themselves are taking increasing ownership of their lives, and sharing their culture
with a much wider cross-section of Canadians. Friday’s ceremony was a great example of that. Visitors were welcomed with traditional drumming, and were then fed a true feast — including salmon, bannock, salads and dessert. This was followed by three formal ceremonies, all of which are hugely important to the Kwantlen people. The first involved naming witnesses to the formal ceremony. Oral tradition is important to First Nations people, and witnesses are a key part of that. The second portion involved honouring two individuals who rescued an ancient artifact from an auction and returned it to the Kwantlen. This artifact, a ceremonial wooden bowl, is likely hundreds of years old and played
a big part in first salmon ceremonies in the distant past. The third portion involved the salmon itself. Salmon were barbecued and placed on a ceremonial table, next to the bowl. They were then carried all around the field on McMillan Island, where the ceremony took place, and everyone present had a piece to eat. The bones and other remnants were then put into the bowl. After that, a ceremonial procession took place, and the remnants of the salmon that had fed and nourished everyone present were, in a very reverential way, returned to the Fraser River. This is meant to honour the salmon and also to replenish the river with material which will nourish new life, and keep the cycle going.

Kwantlen First Nation hosted its annual “First Salmon� ceremony on Friday, May 2 with drumming, blanket presentations and a salmon feast to mark the return of spawning salmon to the Fraser River. The day’s events included a presentation of an ancient, large carved cedar bowl which was recently repatriated to the Kwantlen Sto:lo people and is now on display at their long house. Photo below, Michael Gabriel of the Kwantlen First Nation youth and band councillor Tumia Knott show the ceremonial wooden bowl.

The traditional First Salmon ceremony held by Kwantlen First Nation took place on Friday. It was a very meaningful and moving event, and there were many guests present. It is a far cry from the small ceremony which was reinstated some years ago by a number of members of the First Nation. That event brought back an ancient Kwantlen tradition, as the salmon are integral to their way of life, and have been for thousands of years. However, for many years, such ceremonies were banned by the federal government, as part of a broader effort to assimilate First Nations residents into Canadian society. Many other such attempts came through the residential school system, set up by Ottawa in conjunction with a number of churches. Some of these included banning children attending residential schools from speaking their tribal language and minimizing the ability of parents and children to spend time together. Thankfully, the federal and provincial governments, prodded mightily by the courts and by a significant change in pub-

‘Garden to Table’ flourishes By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
For the third consecutive year, Van City Credit Union has granted $10,000 to St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church in Aldergrove for their work in the “Garden to Table” community project. Van City Credit Union representatives April Jackson and Lisa Boughen of the Van City Langley Branch attended the church’s weekly community dinner on April 24 to present the cheque. The grant provides funds towards a multifaceted program. The three key elements include a community vegetable, fruit and herb garden on the church property which provides food not only RY C L U B TA O
immigrant families, and a weekly gathering of people from the Aldergrove area who share in a meal prepared by and for themselves, along with members from St. Dunstan’s.

These programs are hosted by the people of St. Dunstan’s to provide a comfortable and safe place for learning and sharing. The church also provides space and volunteers for a free, weekly English as a second language class for newcomers. “St. Dunstan’s provides funds for these various programs through application for grants from local community support channels such as Van City, who have been generously supporting us for three years, as well as from funds raised within the church community to continue this work,” said Doug Tindall, spokesperson for the Mission and Ministry Steering Committee.
The Township of Langley is a growing community. It is also a young community, with a majority of residents being of working age and bringing up families. But as time marches on, that population will age, and the Township and its Seniors Advisory Committee (SAC) want to ensure the community is “age-friendly” and prepared to meet the needs of citizens as they get older. To guide that process, an Age-friendly Strategy is being created and the public will be encouraged to have their say on potential policies, services, and structures that will enhance the health and well-being of seniors. “In 2013, Township Council confirmed its commitment to becoming an Age-friendly Community, as recognized by the Ministry of Health’s Age-friendly BC Program,” said Councillor Kim Richter, Co-chair of the Seniors Advisory Committee. The Program recognizes and rewards communities that have taken action to become agefriendly, and encourages
others to do the same: “Through this designation, we can take steps to ensure our residents are healthy, active, socially engaged, and have the support they need as they age,” Richter said. “We can also share our successes and lessons with other municipalities across the province.” To start the process, the SAC struck an Agefriendly Task Force that is chaired by Richter and includes SAC members Sherry Baker, James Marchand, and Patreace Starr. The creation of Langley Township’s AgeFriendly Strategy will begin by gathering input and sharing information during two workshops being held for stakeholders and the community at large. The workshops will be offered on Tuesday, May 13, with community service providers encouraged to attend from 9 to 11am, and partner agencies invited from 1 – 3pm. The location of the workshops will be confirmed upon registration, and members of the public can contribute to the discussions in either session. To register, call 604-

92 2Y Years e rs ea OF SER O SERVING VING GT THE HE COMMUNITY COMMUNITY
Chocolates are nice and flowers are too, but this Mother’s Day, why not treat mom to a fun, unique experience that will create memories and help enhance the environment? Seedy Sunday, a free community event, will be held on Sunday, May 11, noon to 3 p.m., to celebrate Mother’s Day and mark the opening of the season for the Langley Demonstration Garden. The event will take place rain or shine in the Garden, located in the Derek Doubleday Arboretum in the 21200 block of Fraser Highway. Plenty of parking and covered shelter will be provided. An interactive gardening extravaganza, Seedy Sunday will give moms and kids the chance to learn from local experts, exchange ideas, and swap seeds in a comfortable, scenic, social setting. “We invite the public to spend a little time on Mother’s Day visiting the Langley Demonstration Garden and participating in this fun, interactive event. Whether you are new to gardening or a seasoned green thumb, there will be something for everyone,” said Stephanie Captein, Agriculture
Program Coordinator with the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS). The event is being hosted with participation from LEPS, the Township of Langley, Kwantlen Polytechnic University Seed Library, BC Farm Museum, and Fraser Common Farms/ Glorious Organics. During the event, guests can listen to expert guest speakers, play in the kids’ craft corner, view exhibits and displays, and take part in a Seed Saving workshop that will be provided by David Catzel of Glorious Organics at 1pm. High Tea will be available for purchase from the Suburban Spoon food truck and participants are invited to bring along their extra seeds to participate in a seed exchange. “As far as we know, this may be the very first Seedy Sunday event held in Langley,” Captein said. “LEPS is very excited to be hosting this event with the Langley Demonstration Garden and is grateful for the support of our participating partners!” For more information, visit leps.bc.ca/events, email agriculture@leps. bc.ca, or call LEPS at 604532-3511.

Drinking Water Week: May 4 –10 How well do you know your drinking water? Where does your drinking water come from? In Township communities, about half comes from our local groundwater supplies and the other half is supplied by the Coquitlam watershed. How much water does the Township use each year? Township residents and businesses use 12.8 million cubic metres of water every year! That’s equivalent to filling 5,120 Olympic sized swimming pools. Which room in the house typically uses the most water? About 65 per cent of water used in our homes is in bathrooms (showers, baths, toilets). For more information on how to conserve and protect your drinking water and become more Water Wise, visit tol.ca/waterwise.

Township planning future of recreation Aldergrove Star
The Township of Langley is renowned for the quality of life it provides its residents. Through an abundance of facilities and parks, as well as programs and events, the Township offers a variety of recreation, culture, and parks opportunities. To sustain and enhance that quality of life into the future, the Township is developing a Recreation, Culture, and Parks Master Plan. The Master Plan will serve as a guiding document providing the principles for recreation, culture, and parks service delivery and infrastructure over the next 10 years. The Township has experienced significant change and growth since the last RCP Master Plan was completed in 2002 and it is time
to develop a new Plan. To assist in its development, the Township has hired a consulting team of recreation, culture, and parks experts led by RC Strategies and PERC. Consultation with the community is critical to the development of the Master Plan. Community partners, organizations, and residents will be provided with opportunities to share their thoughts and ideas. A telephone survey will be held before summer to gather the thoughts of Township residents. Members of the public are encouraged to participate in the survey should they be randomly contacted. There will be other opportunities for residents and community organizations to provide input. These opportunities will be publi-
cized on the Township’s website at tol.ca and through the Township’s many other communication channels over the coming weeks and months. “Recreation, culture, and parks services and programs help improve our overall health, strengthen families, and enhance our entire community,” said Township of Langley Mayor Froese. “I strongly encourage all residents to provide their input and have their say about the new Master Plan when given the opportunity. Together we can help shape the provision of recreation, culture, and parks services in the Township for years to come.” The Recreation, Culture, and Parks Master Plan is scheduled for completion in early 2015.

LFC: strength in numbers Aldergrove Star
Strength is in the numbers. Langley FC Soccer Club (LFC) has been determined to work incredibly hard developing both the Girls and Boys programs, and players, to demonstrate the strength of the club and staff. Goal accomplished. LFC has had a stellar year! The work has spoken for itself both on and off the pitch. Over the past few weeks, LFC’s talent has been recognized in a big way. District tryouts have been taking place for both the BCSPL (BC Soccer Premier League) teams as well as for the District Metro teams. All players trying out had to be on their “A” game and they certainly were. In the U13 Girls age group 12 LFC players have been named to the District Metro team, leaving just three spots for players from other clubs and over half of the BCSPL U13 Intake team is made up of LFC players also. A total, 21/31 girls have been placed on these two teams in the 2002 age group. The boys program has also come on strong in this age group. Seven LFC players have been chosen for the BCSPL U13 intake team. Langley FC 2014/2015 fall registration is currently open. Visit langleyfc.com or call 604-996-7567. FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice In the May 2 flyer, on page 14, the Xbox One Stereo Headset (WebID: 10246482) was advertised with an incorrect price. Please be advised that the correct price is $79.99 NOT $74.99, save $5, as previously advertised. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

CHALMERS, Bill May 27, 1943 - May 2, 2014.
27555 - 31 Ave. Aldergrove
It is with sadness that we announce the passing of William Thomas (Bill) Chalmers and yet it is a joy to celebrate the wonderful life of an extraordinary man who will be dearly missed. We admire the courage with which he faced his battle with cancer over the past 2.5 years - he truly made the best of his life during this time. Bill always enjoyed hiking, nature, his dogs, exotic plants, his garden, the sweet peas and of course his dear friends, his sisters and their families. Bill grew up in Point Grey, Vancouver. As a teen he received a scholarship with the air cadets to get his pilots license and won numerous awards at school. Graduating from UBC with a BSc and going on to share his passions, Bill moved out to the Fraser Valley in the 1980s and started his business: Western Biologicals. He was admired and respected in the fields of biochemistry and mushroom propagation and education and was a member of the Vancouver Mycological Society. Bill enjoyed travel and adventure: he drove to Central America in the old family car in the 1960’s and traveled again throughout his life to the USA, Vietnam, Taiwan, South America, Peru and China. His most recent trip was to Phoenix, Arizona to explore the botanical diversity of the desert. He was always available to help others with their problems - he cared deeply about his friends, family and community. Bill also made substantial donations to the BC Cancer Society, Surrey Memorial Hospital and the Air Cadets. A Celebration of Life Memorial Tea will be held this Saturday, May 10, 2014, 1-3pm with a formal time to share tributes and stories - at 2pm. Coghlan Community Hall: 6795-256th Street, Aldergrove All are welcome. Contact Carolyn at 604-856-3339 or elizabethbeeds@gmail.com for more info.
