Aldergrove ‘Adrenaline’ Up And Over

No review of Bertrand Creek tree report

By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

ART BANDENIEKS PHOTO

Aldergrove’s Brittany Grsic (in green jersey) goes up for a head ball in Metro Women’s soccer action Sunday evening at Aldergrove Athletic Park. Aldergrove Adrenaline of the Selects division won their game over Kerrisdale, 1-0.

A call for an outside consultant to review an arborist’s report that confused the types of trees in a proposed Aldergrove subdivision failed to win support from a majority of Township council Monday (Feb. 16).

Councillor Petrina Arnason made the proposal after Sanderson Planning, a Vancouver company, admitted mistakes were made while reviewing the trees on the property near 28 Avenue and 276 Street.

In a written presentation to the Council Priorities Committee meeting, Sanderson defended the 2012 report that determined there were no trees worth preserving on the property as a “fair and accurate assessment of the conditions.”

The firm was hired by the Township to help design a 61-lot neighbourhood on the proposed Bertrand Creek Trails Estate development.

The 2012 assessment called for cutting down the existing 165 trees and replacing them with 303 replacement trees, arranged to fit around the detached houses planned for the property.

Opponents of the development, who want the site preserved as an urban forest, said the decision by council to approve the development was based on an error-riddled assessment that confused the types of trees.

The critics included another arborist, Celeste Paley, who said that among other things the report confused cedar trees with maple trees and alders.

Paley said the “discrepancies” and “misidentifications” were “worrisome.”

In December, council put the project on hold to sort out the issue.

At the committee meeting, Sanderson filed an updated arborist’s report that aimed to correct the errors of the first, but Paley told the committee that the second report was still not error-free.

Paley identified a smaller number of errors, but the fact there were any was termed “problematic” by councillor Petrina Arnason.

Arnason tried to get the rest of council to agree that Sanderson Planning had “failed to address to Council’s satisfaction tree inventory discrepancies” and order “an independent third party review of the inventory.”

At Monday’s council meeting, after hearing staff estimated hiring an outsider to review the trees would cost between $3,000 and $5,000, a majority voted against the Arnason proposal.

Councillor Bob Long said the whole issue was “kind of moot” because most of the trees will have to come down to make room for houses.

Transit tax debated at Township

By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

The debate over a proposed transit improvement tax came to Langley Township council chambers Monday afternoon, with speakers on both sides making their cases.

Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation represented the opposition, while Jon Garson of the BC Chamber of Commerce spoke in favour of the tax and Mike Buda spoke on behalf of the Mayors’ Council, the group which came up with the idea.

Bateman, a former Township councillor, attacked TransLink, the agency that administers public transit, as “a very poorly run organization” that doesn’t deserve more money from taxpayers.

“You have to fix that organization and you’re not going to do it by giving them more money,” Bateman said.

Bateman said, as a former Langley councillor, he has had the frustrating experience of trying and failing to get the transit authority to pull itself away from Vancouver issues and pay

attention to Langley needs.

Garson warned a “no” vote would “We always get the short end of make the provincial and federal govthe stick,” Bateman said. ernments less willing to contribute Bateman said the to public transit in the proposed half a per cent Lower Mainland, and increase in the provinthat would lead to a cial sales tax would only “patchwork” transit sysgive Langley shoppers tem of different Metro one more reason to shop municipalities competing next door in Abbotsford, for funding. where the tax won’t apply.

fuel necessary.

Other improvements will take longer, because they will involve buying new buses, constructing pedestrian and bike lane improvements, upgrading major roads and building new rapid transit lines, he said.

“It takes about two years to build a bus,” Buda said, which is why the new rapid bus service to Langley would take about three years to get going.

Extending rapid transit from Surrey to Langley would take even longer, about 12 years before construction starts, Buda estimated.

Mayor Jack Froese said residents need to look at the “big picture” when they vote and consider how improving transit in other communities will benefit Langley by reducing congestion throughout Metro.

“It’s not just our back yard,” Froese said.

Froese spoke against an attempt

by Councillor Kim Richter to have the Township council vote to formally oppose the proposed tax.

“I really don’t feel council as a body should be influencing this [tax] vote,” Froese said.

Richter argued the tax is not a good deal for Langley, and council should take a position even though it had voted to remain neutral at a previous meeting.

“We occupy these chairs because people elected us to leadership roles,” Richter said.

“We need to stand up and be counted on this,” Richter added.

Councillor Angie Quaale, the architect of the neutrality policy, said council was “demonstrating leadership” by having the presentations from both sides. Richter’s proposal was defeated by a majority vote.

The transit tax referendum ballots will go out around March 15 and Metro residents have until late May to mail them back.

The 0.5 per cent Metro-only sales tax would fund $7.5 billion in improvements including more frequent SeaBus service, extra West Coast Express commuter rail cars, more HandyDart service, as well as light rail lines in Surrey, a Broadway subway in Vancouver and a new Pattullo Bridge.

Poll gives No side big lead in Metro transit referendum

By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star

A new poll now gives the No side a strong lead in the Metro Vancouver transit improvement referendum.

The latest Insights West online survey of 653 Metro residents found 53 per cent will “probably” or “definitely” vote against the 0.5 per cent

Metro-only sales tax to fund various upgrades, while 38 per cent will likely vote in favour. It’s a reversal from earlier polls by the firm that had given the Yes side a four-point advantage as recently as January.

Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said the strong gain for the No side appears to have

come from drivers, middle-income earners and South of the Fraser area residents. The new poll breaks down the results by sub-region for the first time. It shows the strongest support is in Vancouver and Richmond, with 48 per cent Yes support to 35 per cent No. The most opposition comes

South of the Fraser, with 62 per cent likely to vote No and 31 per cent Yes. It’s a similar story on the North Shore, where 61 per cent are opposed and 27 per cent in favour.

Burnaby, the Tri-Cities and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows had 49 per cent likely No voters and 39 per cent in the Yes camp. The level of undecided

voters was six per cent in Vancouver, Richmond and South of the Fraser, and about 10 per cent elsewhere. The margin of error is plus or minus four per cent, 19 times out of 20.

Canseco said the strong No vote South of the Fraser is surprising given the fact the area will be a main beneficiary of the upgrades.

Township looks at budget priorities

By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

“We’re looking forward to a funfilled day of numbers and figures” a tongue-in-cheek Mayor Jack Froese said, as he prepared to open an allday special Township council meeting on the municipal budget Monday morning.

The discussion started with a staff report listing council options presented by Karen Sinclair, the deputy director of finance.

To summarize: like most municipalities, much of the money is already spoken for, covering existing programs, funding financial reserves and other costs.

There is more than $60 million in new projects and proposals, however, and that is where council will likely be focusing most of its attention.

For instance, the staff report suggests putting aside some cash for the future widening of the 208 Street overpass connecting Willoughby and Walnut Grove across Highway 1.

It calls for earmarking $1 million this year, and another $5.8 million in each of the next two years.

Councillor Kim Richter balked at the proposal, saying the money would be better spent on the road improvements along 208 that some residents have called for.

“I haven’t received any complaints

about congestion [on Councillor Charlie the overpass]” Richter Fox said the money said. for the widening “Where is the busiwould come from the ness case to say for us, Development Cost this is a priority?”

tage road, funding for a standalone cat shelter co-funded by the Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS), and a temporary increase in parking for Willoughby.

Other potential projects on the list are the development of Yorkson Community Park, two softball diamonds for Willoughby Community Park and road improvements in Brookswood.

Once council has decided what to keep and what to cut, plans call for consultation with the public in early March, with an on-line survey and two open houses.

Tax notices should go out by the end of May.

Would cost up to $5,000 to go over ‘minor’ errors in assessment of Aldergrove subdivision FROM FRONT:

Councillor Angie Quaale, noting the Township has already sent $800,000 to $1 million on the project, said council should simply “get on with it.”

“The greater good will be served

for Aldergrove,” Quaale said.

Councillor Blair Whitmarsh said the errors amounted to only a few trees.

“It’s a two per cent error,” Whitmarsh said.

“I don’t need a third party.”

Arnason said it was a question of principle, of council making decisions based on accurate information.

“I think it calls into question who it is we have doing reports,” Arnason said.

The property in question was the

former site of the Aldergrove sewage treatment plant, which operated from the mid-1960s until the late 1990s when it was decommissioned and the area was hooked up to the Abbotsford treatment plant.

The property was clear-cut for a

farm many years ago, but over the years second-growth trees took over the southern, unused portion of the acreage.

The property was never included in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) for protected farmland.

Propane powered “crop cannons” will come under a new Abbotsford control bylaw, similar to that enacted by Langley Township. to work with the city.

The bylaw also implements fines for misuse, starting at $200 for a first offence, $300 for a second, and rising to $500 for third and subsequent offences.

Council approved the bylaw with Couns. Gill and Les Barkman opposed.

Braun told Black Press the bylaw “gets us to first base.” The Ministry of Agriculture has said it is open to considering modification of the provincial guidelines if the city has supporting data. Though Braun said a ban in the near future seems unlikely, he said residents who want the cannons gone need to address the issue with their MLAs. He added that the problem also comes down to the issue of starlings, the main predator on blueberry crops, and the city is studying that.

Council had previously looked to the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) about the possibility of creating a regional program to manage starlings. The FVRD rejected the plan, citing concerns of costs, effectiveness, and pointing out that other jurisdictions have less of a starling problem than Abbotsford.

A city report on the potential for a starling trapping program will come before council in the future for consideration.

Drug smuggling trial delayed

By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

There has been a delay in the trial of a Chilliwack man accused of trying to smuggle a meth-lab-ina-box across the Aldergrove border crossing last November.

The trial of Calum James Buchanan was supposed to begin in Washington state this month, but a judge ordered it postponed until March to allow more time for forensic tests on the chemicals discovered inside a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am on Nov. 23 by U.S. Customs and Border Protection

officers.

Court documents posted online show the trial is now set to begin March 9, when the crime lab analysis of the chemicals should be complete.

It appears Buchanan’s coaccused, fellow Chilliwack resident Lola Crystal McKay, has not returned to the U.S. to answer the charges against her.

A warrant for her arrest on one count of bail jumping remains in effect.

McKay and Buchanan were arrested at the Aldergrove crossing

after a U.S. customs officer became nauseated and vomited from the fumes in some plastic wrapped storage containers in the car.

The crossing was shut down in both directions for about an hour while a hazmat team removed the chemicals.

The officer, who was transported to hospital, made a full recovery.

Both have been charged with possession of meth chemicals with intent to manufacture, a crime that could mean a prison sentence of up to 10 years and a fine of up to $25,000 U.S.

Avian influenza restricted zone shrinks in valley Aldergrove Star

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has shrunk a zone restricting the movement of poultry products around farms where avian flu has been detected after the discovery of a highly pathogenic virus last December The 10-kilometre restricted zone – which is intended to stop the spread of any cases of avian influenza – now uses Highway 1, rather than the Fraser River, as its northern border. The western bor-

der of the zone, in Aldergrove, has also been altered.

Avian influenza was only detected at one farm located north of the highway. The virus caused the deaths of more than 200,000 birds.

The CFIA says the moves “reflect quarantines being lifted from individual premises.”

The agency says the primary control zone that encompasses all of Southern British Columbia “will remain in effect until the CFIA determines that movement con-

trols are no longer required to prevent the spread of avian influenza.

“This determination will consider factors such as disease surveillance testing and progress on the destruction and disposal of infected birds and complete disinfection of premises,” the CFIA said in a news release. The movement of birds and poultry products within the primary control zone requires the CFIA to issue a permit.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s third straight budget surplus is the main battleground for provincial politicians this spring, with little else on the order paper to argue about.

The main conflict is over the tax cut for the rich that results from removing a two-year surtax on personal income greater than $150,000 a year. It’s an outrage, says the NDP, starving our threadbare government services of more than $200 million over the next three years.

NDP leader John Horgan set the tone in his reply to Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget speech: “I can appreciate that the minister was celebrating with the champagne-and-caviar set, but the rest of British Columbia saw $700 million in increased fees and taxes on their backs.”

Old news, de Jong replied.

It was a two-year surtax on high-income earners to help get B.C. out of its post-recession red ink, and it expired as it was legislated to do.

This political theatre doesn’t help people understand what’s actually going on.

First, a lot of that red ink was B.C. Liberal blood from dismantling the harmonized sales tax and repaying Ottawa for that failed experiment.

Second, this temporary tax on the rich was a political strategy by de Jong and

Why cut taxes for the rich?

Premier Christy Clark, limping into an election most expected them to lose.

De Jong’s debut budget in February 2013 also accelerated a small increase in corporate income tax, stealing two populist planks from Adrian Dix’s NDP platform.

Ending the surtax not only kept a promise, it kept B.C. competitive with Alberta on personal income taxes. High wage earners and many of their businesses are more mobile every year, which is why this year’s budget also extended tax breaks for hightech and digital media companies.

Another tweak in de Jong’s budget was to increase the low-income cutoff for personal income tax from $18,000 to $19,000.

Those with the lowest incomes are relieved not only of income tax but also medical premiums, which continue to march up by another four per cent, and are mostly paid by employers.

As with the federal election set for this fall, we will hear a lot about the burden on the vaguely defined “middle class.”

In B.C. they have to dig deeper for car insurance, hydro, ferry rides and post-secondary tuition, while those top-hatted champagne-sippers party on with their tax holiday?

Well, not exactly. Here’s an assessment from Philip Cross, research co-ordinator at the

Macdonald-Laurier Institute and former chief economic analyst at Statistics Canada.

Just after the 2013 B.C. election, Cross noted that Canada, its provinces, Europe and the United States have all been adjusting their tax systems to increase the load on wealthier people and ease it from the poor.

This has closed the wage gap considerably in Canada.

By 2010, the top 20 per cent of earners were paying 58.3 per cent of all income taxes.

That’s up from 50 per cent in 1976, showing how long Canada’s income taxes have been “progressive.”

This is the main reason why “income inequality,” that other great cause of the left, started leveling off in Canada around 1998.

Cross points to measures like the low-income exemption from income tax. By 2013, the bottom 40 per cent of Canadian households were paying just 6.8 per cent of income taxes, and more than a third of income tax filers were paying none at all.

Cross asks and answers the central question: Should the rich pay more? “If it’s a misinformed attempt to compensate for imaginary losses of low-income people, the answer is clearly no.”

Editor: Almost 12 years ago I and many, many others were displaced from their jobs in nursing homes and hospitals across the province. It came, it passed, and life went on, as it always does.

We found different ways of surviving and life became somewhat good again.

About two weeks ago I received a letter from Canada Revenue/ EI Insurance. Enclosed was a bill for $719 in back taxes/back pay.

What do you know, after all this time our sweet government is back at me wanting the money they had given me as a settlement after they were found guilty of ripping up our contract. Mine is a very small amount as I have not really worked much these past 12 years, but I know some people that have been slammed with thousands of dollars. It actually got me upset all over again. I have spent days phoning many people, Revenue Canada, was referred to EI, and I can’t get through to them at all, no matter what time of the day I call, heck you can’t even get in the queue. So I phoned the union. I was told that there was nothing they could do, but I could phone EI and ask for a Hardship Kit, so I did that it’s just not an option at all unless you have your cell, your other phone and your husband’s phone!

Today I went to the EI office and was told once again it was a matter for Canada Revenue. I explained that I had already contacted Canada Revenue and that now I was here to actually talk to someone. My information was taken, I was told it would take about 30-45 minutes of waiting — that sure beats two weeks of phone tag and wait games! My turn came and I was shown in by my “person”, a young man. It seemed that was all he was doing (sorry, but I was thinking about my tax dollars). The lady was very nice but could not help me. She said my problem must be from when I was displaced and had received benefits while I still had my severance pay from my lost job. I assured her this was not so, as it took a long time before any benefits kicked in.

I did mention that I thought it was the settlement we were given as a payoff for our jobs. She seemed to think it was more recent, so therefore I must have received benefits since then.

No I did not. I have not worked anywhere at all since 2008 and all I ever worked was a few part time jobs at minimum wages, and I finally just retired. I mentioned the Hardship Kit and she looked at me like what is that? I was told there was a number on the back of my letter that I could phone and make payment arrangements.

Not so fast! I am not paying unless I know for sure why this has come back to haunt me after 12 years. She offered to send off a message to someone at Revenue Canada or an EI higher up and have them send me a letter explaining what the reasons were for the back taxes, or back pay. Well, at least I bought a little time.

This is just another way for the government to get back at us for something we never had any say in in the first place.

Hanne Reid, Aldergrove

Tax upon tax, upon tax Editor: I counted at least 20 forms of taxes that we pay to drive our cars to work. At that, I may be missing some. I would be happy to publish them but I am afraid that if this post is too long, people won’t bother reading it. This excludes the mayor’s newest proposal.

Could you imagine the bureaucracy tied in with all these taxes?

If they would roll it up as one tax, they could probably get rid of some of them and still make money but these bureaucrats are killing us one drop at a time or through a thousand paper cuts.

Is it the mayor’s intention to bankrupt us all? I heard on the news that Canadians are falling into record debt. Is it any wonder?

I would support expansion of infrastructure but this fight is not about being in favour of such expansion, its about who should pay for it and about the inept management of our money. Governments are not good money managers and voting no will tell them to give their head a shake. Don’t you dare believe that it will mean more congestion. No government will allow things to deteriorate to what the fear mongers are telling you since they face the voters every four years or so.

Who should pay for improvements? How about the community of millionaires who rub their hands in glee when Skytrain comes to their doorsteps? This would be the developers, speculators, property flippers, land owners, leasing companies and the real estate agents that profit from transactions immediately around the stations. Has anyone noticed all the mega projects that currently surround these stations and the ones in development? Someone is making big bucks and the mayors want you to contribute to their welfare fund?

Female space traveller to land in Abbotsford Aldergrove Star

About 10,000 girls, women and their families gathering from around B.C. are excited to discover why the sky really is no limit and meet with astronaut Wendy Lawrence, veteran of four missions to space.

When the Apollo 11 crew landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, a ten year old Lawrence watched in black and white from 393,309 kms. away. That’s when she became an astronaut.

From that day, Lawrence applied herself heart and soul towards her goals. After graduation from the US Naval Academy in 1981 she flew helicopters off ships, and was tasked with helicopter combat support and anti-submarine squadrons. Later, Lawrence became the first graduate of the US Naval Academy to fly into space, and has flown four space missions including a visit to MIR, the Russian Space Station.

On March 7-8, over 10,000 B.C. females of all ages and their families will gather at the Abbotsford International Airport for The Sky’s No Limit

– Girls Fly Too! — a fun, unique, hands-on outreach event held annually in celebration of International Women’s Day and Women of Aviation Worldwide Week. Event participants will be able to meet with Lawrence, ask questions about her experiences and find out what it takes to become an astronaut, pilot or engineer.

Participants can try their hand at many fun activities such as riveting a real aircraft, remove/install parts from engines, simulate bombing forest fires with a firefighting aircraft, simulate air traffic control, learn about piloting an aircraft and more.

The H.R. MacMillan Space Centre is bringing Starlab (portable mini Imax) to provide an immersive space experience. The RCAF, RCMP, Canadian Coast Guard, Air Cadets, and Civil Air Search and Rescue will be on hand.

Civilian and non-civilian aircraft will be available to explore.

The entire event is free, thanks to community-minded partners such as the University of the Fraser Valley, Carson Air Group, Teck Construction,

Vancouver International Airport (YVR), Bert’s Electric, Province of BC - Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training along with other community and industry partners. Families are welcome and no registration is required to attend.

Free introductory flights are offered for female firsttime fliers (any age welcome).

Moms are encouraged to fly with their daughters. Advance registration at www.girlsfly2.ca is required for the female fliers.

The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too!, annual events are part of an outreach initiative founded by B.C. pilot Kirsten Brazier in 2012. Events organized by The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too! have won several international awards and set two world precedents.

Out of 24,505 professional pilots in Canada, only 1,356 of them are women. Out of 19,601 aircraft engineers, only 560 of them are women. Less than three per cent of the technical positions in the Royal Canadian Air Force, such as pilot or maintenance technician, are held by women.

“It would be easy to con-

society observes mostly men employed in these fields, this perception is reinforced.”

The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too! free outreach events aim to change this perception by welcoming women to

the airport and giving them a hands-on introduction to aviation, aerospace and space.

“The first flight experience is so incredibly amazing that we just have to share it,” said Kirsten. “It’s often the catalyst to inspire interest in aviation, aerospace and space. The free flights, along with our unique hands-on approach grabs participants’ attention and we hope our events will inspire many future leaders from shop floor to top floor in these fields.”

The event is about education as much as it is about inspiring girls and women.

Therefore everyone - male and female alike - is encouraged to participate or volunteer at the event.

Brazier is a professional pilot from the Lower Mainland and she holds Airline Transport Ratings for both aeroplanes and helicopters.

With over 20 years of flying experience, Brazier has enjoyed a diverse career flying across Canada on wheels, floats, skis and skids as well as two-crew operations in both aeroplanes and helicopters.

Who needs them?

Editor: Re: “Metro jacks Matsqui garbage tipping fee over Abbotsford’s objection,” The Aldergrove Star, Feb. 19.

My first reaction to this story was one of confusion, did not the City of Abbotsford give serious consideration to leaving the GVRD (aka Metro Vancouver)?

Could this be a knee jerk reaction by Metro Vancouver to show Abbotsford who’s boss?

As a relative newcomer to the valley I found the extent of the GVRD’s powers excessive, in light of the population growth both in my area and in Abbotsford — who needs them? I would go so far as the think that Abbotsford with its growing industrial tax base no longer needs “Big Daddy” dictates.

From time to time Surrey floats the idea of leaving the GVRD, hopefully Langley, Aldergrove and Abbotsford can exit and use the tax base for the residents without the interference of Vancouver.

‘We need to bind carbon every way we can’ Editor: I was amazed that you gave Ronald Seguin space on your opinion page. Every time someone is allowed to put forward a global warming debunking theory anywhere, it does the whole of humanity a terrible disservice.

If the warming is man made and we can do something about it we are going to look incredibly stupid when it is confirmed and it has become too late to do anything.

Don’ you think it is time that the Media started to take it seriously and educate people as to what is really at stake. For instance when all the polar ice has melted and it will happen, the oceans will have risen by 216 feet!! One of the most dramatic consequences of this that ought it to be understood is that it means Florida will cease to exist! A US research committee chaired

by Bloomberg the ex Mayor of New York predicts by the year 2100 US agricultural production will have fallen by 67%.

Simply put at least 200 million Americans will starve to death! It has been calculated that what is left of the Earth’s land surface after the ice has melted will be at least 50% uninhabitable because it will be too hot to live there.

Currently the perma-frost is melting at an alarming rate. When it all melts the CO2 content of the atmosphere will treble. If this melting occurs in the presence of water it produces methane gas which is 24 times worse as a global warming agent than just CO2. That is the equivalent of a 72 times increase.

Fixing global warming is relatively easy. Obviously we should be developing every option that can decrease CO2 atmospheric content be-

cause many of these will in themselves make for better lives. The greatest cure is re-afforestation on a world scale.

We need to bind carbon every way we can.

Part of this will entail switching from cereal crop agriculture to crops which produce as much nourishment per acre but that also require trees both as crop produces and for shade.

A current example of this is coffee growing on the Big Island in Hawaii under avocado and mango trees. When the mango trees get too big they are felled and used for ornamental hardwoods.

People really need to wake up and smell the coffee as it were, unfortunately the vast majority of us are Nero’s fiddling as the Earth gradually starts to sizzle.

Fundraiser aiming to lift family’s spirits

By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star

Friends and co-workers of Marianna Juhasz are organizing a pub night fundraiser for Sunday, March 1 to lift the Abbotsford woman’s spirits. She and her two sons sought sanctuary in a Langley church more than two months ago.

A burger and beer night at Townhall Public House in Abbotsford will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Tickets are $25.

Friends who wrote some information about the Juhasz family’s situation for the fundraiser said Marianna “is the per-

sonification of what it is to be Canadian: friendly, hard working, honest and kind.�

Marianna maintained three jobs, including working in the food court at Sevenoaks Mall in Abbotsford. Her boys, Patrik, 16, and Tamas, 12, embraced their new life in Canada, taking up sports and making friends until a decision by Immigration Canada came down. The government ordered them deported back to Hungary.

It was 2010 when Marianna fled with her sons to Canada to escape the violence her youngest son Tamas was experiencing

with his father there. Marianna was estranged from Tamas’ father and claims she suffered abuse too. He had visitation rights with Tamas.

The three came to Canada on humanitarian grounds. But a judge wasn’t presented the proper documentation to find any abuse took place.

Immigration Canada ordered the family be deported in November 2014. They decided to hide, looking for sanctuary in any Abbotsford church. They found it at Walnut Grove Lutheran Church, where Langley’s Jose Figueroa has been

living for a year and a half.

The Juhasz’ are waiting to hear if they will be granted permission to stay on humanitarian grounds.

But in the meantime, “life in the confines of four walls has taken a toll on their spirits,� said the write-up from friends.

Funds are needed to let them continue their fight.

If you would like to donate, contact Brenda at bgolden@ morguard.com.

Tickets to the pub night can be purchased at Sevenoaks cusSUBMITTED PHOTO tomer service or at 604-853Mariana Juhasz and sons Patrik and Tamas.

Coleman has new role as B.C.’s military liaison Aldergrove Star

Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman

Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, who is currently deputy premier and minister of natural gas development, as well as minister responsible for housing, has taken on yet another role — military liaison with the Canadian Armed Forces. “By establishing a military liaison, we are making sure military services are bet-

ter integrated to serve the people of British Columbia,� said Premier Christy Clark, in announcing the appointment.

In his role as liaison deputy premier, Coleman will interface with the military within B.C. He will work to improve the lines of communication, strengthen joint emergency response and the co-ordination of resources.

“I’m honoured to take on this new provincial liaison role,� said Coleman. “Military personnel provide an important service in B.C. and I look forward to working together to improve the safety and protection of British Columbians.�

The Canadian Armed Forces employ more than 12,000 military and civilian personnel in B.C.

There are eight major military bases in the province, including the Canadian Forces Base (CFB) in Esquimalt, as well as 12 militia units throughout B.C. Aldergrove is home to a military communications centre. “On behalf of the Canadian Armed Forces, I congratulate and thank the premier and the Government of B.C. for appointing a military liai-

son,� said Rear-Admiral Bill Truelove, Commander of Maritime Forces Pacific and Joint Task Force Pacific. “British Columbia has a long and proud military history.

Celebrating ‘Year of the Sheep’ Aldergrove Star

On Tuesday, February 17, Muriel Arnason Library celebrated its seventh annual Chinese New Year event. Around 175 people of all ages participated in the event and enjoyed decorating the lanterns, coloring the sheets, and making the lucky envelopes. Guests also enjoyed the music and the New Year’s foods.

Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese and Councillor Petrina Arnason attended the event, and conveyed their Happy New Year wishes to the community.

Muriel Arnason Library was filled with people of all ages during the afternoon’s festivities. This time the lantern craft was the main attraction for everyone. Langley based artists Kosheng Ko and Su-Chen Huang were present to teach the Chinese craft and help the attendees in making the lanterns beautiful. Volunteers Lisa Zhu, Bill Shi, and Lucy Wang also helped people with the craft.

Everyone was very happy to participate in this multicultural event. The library received excel-

Kodiaks take 3-1 lead in junior hockey playoffs

By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

The Aldergrove Kodiaks only need one more win to seal the first round of Junior B hockey playoffs after taking three straight wins over the Abbotsford Pilots.

The Kodiaks fell to the Pilots 4-3 in the first game Feb. 17, but followed that up with a 6-3 win the next night, both games at Aldergrove Arena. The Kodiaks followed that with two wins at MSA Arena, 4-2 on Feb. 20 and 3-2 in overtime on Feb. 21.

Game 5 is set for Wednesday, Feb. 25, 7:15 p.m. at Aldergrove Arena.

Game 6, if needed, is Feb. 27 at MSA Arena.

In the Feb. 20 game the Pilots opened the scoring halfway through the first period but the Kodiaks responded twice before the period came to an end. Scoring for Aldergrove were Quinncy Leroux on a power play, assisted by Eric Wieking and Aaron Markin, and Markin, assisted by Leroux and Brandon Dolby.

The second period was scoreless but the Kodiaks took a 3-1 lead in the third before the Pilots scored their final goal of the night. Scoring for Aldergrove was Dolby, from Leroux and Markin, and then the Kodiaks sealed the night’s scoring with their fourth goal, by Wieking, assisted by Cameron Davitt.

Leroux and Dolby were the game’s first and second stars, respectively.

The next night Aldergrove opened the scoring on a power play 17 minutes into the first period, with Dolby notching the goal, assisted by Wyatt Versluis.

Abbotsford tied it up in the second period, and the Kodiaks and Pilots each scored one in the third to take it into overtime. Markin scored Aldergrove’s second goal, assisted by Leroux.

It was Kodiak Evan Cusmano who scored the overtime winner, on a power play at 7:14 minutes, assisted

by Eric Callegari and Davitt.

Kodiaks keeper Ben Giesbrecht deservedly earned the game’s second

star for turning aside 55 of the Pilots’ 57 shots on his goal. The Kodiaks had 41 shots on goal that night.

ALDERGROVE SHOOTS DOWN PILOTS 6-3 IN GAME 2 The Aldergrove Kodiaks redeemed themselves with a convincing 6-3 win over the Abbotsford Pilots, in game 2 of the first round of playoffs.

In the game Feb. 18 at Aldergrove Arena, the Pilots opened the scoring early in the first period but Kodiaks captain Aaron Markin evened it up four minutes later on a power play.

Assists were from Cameron Davitt and Evan Cusmano.

In the second period the Kodiaks took charge with four more unanswered goals, before the Pilots notched one at the dying minutes to make it 5-2 for the Kodiaks. Kodiaks scorers were Quinncy Leroux, Scott McHaffie, Eric Callegari and Brandon Dolby. Assists came from Markin (2), Dolby, Spencer McHaffie, Wyatt Verluis, Dryden Wust, and Leroux.

The Pilots scored one more in the

Auton, Ng take bronze in Winter Games target shooting finals Aldergrove Star

Jessica Auton

Langley Rod & Gun Club junior shooters brought home two bronze medals at the 2015 Canada Winter Games.

Langley’s Jessica Auton took bronze in the women’s air pistol target shooting finals. Though not a stranger to intense competition –

Auton has a junior national championship under her belt – the 18-yearold from Langley battled nerves in the final round of Canada Winter Games competition.

“I was doing really well early on and my mental state was really good but then as we moved into the final round and they started announcing

the people who were eliminated, I let that get to me a little bit and got nervous.”

Auton said she put a little bit more pressure on herself for these Games but after some deep breathing and positive self-talk, she calmed down and shot her way to the bronze medal.

“It felt really good,” she said. “I actually cried, and I never cry. There was just a lot of happiness and all of that emotion and stress of the competition was just leaving my body.”

Brian Ng teamed with Dakota Donavan from Merritt to win the team bronze medal in junior men’s team competition.

Their closeness made the tournament extra special, and made their disappointment a little more bearable.

“We came here with a dream and the outcome isn’t what we wanted,” said Morris-Reade. “We were aiming for a medal

suffered a heartbreaker against Saskatchewan and it was tough to not get into that semi-final but the team has gotten stronger every game of the tournament and we are really proud of their effort.”

B.C.’s hockey team was fired up by the hometown crowd and drew a lot of energy from the special events like the pep rally and opening ceremony.

For Morris-Reade, meeting athletes from all of the provinces and territories who were competing in such a wide range of events was a highlight.

Team BC finished the tournament with two wins (PEI and New Brunswick) and four losses, one in overtime shootouts (Quebec, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Manitoba).

Sarah Potomak (Aldergrove) led in points for B.C. with four goals and three assists.

Her sister Amy had two goals and two assists.

By BRENDA ANDERSON Aldergrove Star

Who’s your hero?

For dozens of Langley youth in need of a mentor, it’s the Big Brother or Big Sister who steps up and takes an active interest in their life.

On March 6 and 7, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Langley will celebrate its champions and raise funds to help more children in the community find their match, as they present their annual Bowl for Kids Sake fundraiser.

This year’s theme is Super Heroes.

Participating team members are invited to come dressed as their favourite super hero (or just make up some new ones) and enjoy a couple of hours of serious fun for a great cause.

Bowl For Kids Sake is one of the Langley agency’s main fundraisers of the year, with proceeds raised going to programs that benefit children and teens in the community.

Mentors play a vital role in the lives of children and teens who are bullied — as half of all Canadian adults report they were when they were younger.

Each year, Bowl for Kids Sake aims to “strike out” bullying by helping the agency provide oneon-one and in-school youth mentoring programs.

BBBS Langley is always in need of Big Brothers, with the waiting list of “Littles” growing steadily.

Anyone who would like to enter a team in Bowl for Kids Sake, make a donation or learn more about the programs offered can visit the website at www.bbbslangley.ca.

To learn more about becoming a Big, call 604530-5055.

INTRODUCTIONS

ENDACOTT, Victor Lawrence Born: August 21, 1943 Died: February 19, 2015 Victor passed away peacefully in Morgan Place, Surrey, BC. He grew up in Aldergrove, BC, where he enjoyed the great outdoors, especially fishing in Bertrand Creek. Victor joined the Navy after leaving High School. When he came home he had various occupations from being an iron-worker to taxi driver in Vancouver. He always enjoyed his family and Legion friends. Victor is survived by sisters Helen Snowdon (Doug), Beverley Madden (Dick), brothers Alan Endacott (Mabel), and Neil Endacott (Trudy), 3 nieces, 7 nephews, and many great nieces and nephews. Victor was pre-deceased by his mother & father. The family wished to thank the staff at Morgan Place & Bonnie for the wonderful care they gave Victor over the last nine years.
