Pipeline will cost municipalities

By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

The expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline will mean over $93 million in extra costs for taxpayers in Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Abbotsford and Burnaby, according to a report filed with the National Energy Board (NEB) late last month.

The study by Associated Engineering, now posted on the NEB website, was funded by the five municipalities.

Projected over 50 years, the report concludes the added cost of building municipal infrastructure around the new pipeline “exceeds $93,000,000.”

Coquitlam would bear the biggest expense, $28.5 million, followed by Burnaby with $17.6 million, Surrey with

$17.1 million, Abbotsford at $17 million and the Township of Langley would have the smallest added expense at $12.8 million.

That reflects the extra cost of installing new and replacement “buried utilities” like water pipes, sanitary and storm sewers as well as roads, ditches and creeks in areas where the pipeline is located.

National Energy Board regulations for working around petroleum pipelines require the communities through which the pipeline passes to follow strict rules when they carry out day-to-day maintenance tasks and construction projects.

That often means “altering methods of design and construction to accommodate the pipeline,” a memo in the report states.

“The communities affected by the

existing pipeline have been responsible for the additional costs associated with these activities since original construction, and are concerned with the additional financial strain that may be included with the addition of a second pipeline,” the memo adds.

The report says while Trans Mountain pipeline owner Kinder Morgan has acknowledged there will be disruption during construction of the new pipeline, “there has not yet been acknowledgement of additional costs incurred by each municipality to operate, maintain and construct municipal infrastructure [after the line is built].”

The report discloses there have been several occasions where Kinder Morgan SEE: Page 3

Langley School District has a balanced operating budget for next school year, without having to go into its surplus.

The district is adding nine full time teachers, and has allocated funds to hire elementary school counsellors, said secretary-treasurer David Green at the June 16 school board meeting.

Trustees approved the $197 million operating budget for the 2015/16 year. The budget covers wages, benefits, resources and maintenance.

Closing Lochiel school site will bring a savings of $178,000 in its first year, said Green. The teachers strike saved the district a significant amount of money that they would normally pay teachers. Districts across B.C. weren’t sure if the government would ask for those savings, but it didn’t.

Tuition costs for international students were increased and the program has boomed, with more than 700 students coming to Langley from around the world next school year. The new natural gas contract the district negotiated has produced large savings and will again in the future, said Green.

Grants achieved through B.C. Hydro have also helped with costs. The district did see an increase in numbers of special needs children who need support. It also budgeted less for substitutes. It also will see cost savings in the provincially mandated administration cuts.

By law, school districts in B.C. must submit a balanced budget to the Ministry of Education by June 30. In comparison, Surrey’s budget for the same year is $618 million.

In other news, Willoughby families can breathe a sigh of relief after Langley board of education voted unanimously to maintain the status quo for schools on the slope over the next couple years.

Langley School District is looking at what to do about overcrowding in Willoughby. There was talk about Willoughby students being bused out of the area to other schools and new catchment boundaries being drawn.

Reconfiguration of the elementary schools to K-6 were on the table.

At the last school board meeting before summer break, district staff recommended that the board vote to keep the current grade configuration of K-5, Grades 6-8 for Yorkson Creek middle school and Grades 9-12 at R.E. Mountain Secondary. Richard Bulpitt Elementary is the fastest growing primary school in Langley, with its population nearly doubling in three years.

The district will start looking at Willoughby’s catchments and begin drawing new draft boundaries with the idea that those new borders will go to the public for consultation, starting in February 2016.

The plan is for the board to approve new catchments by late spring 2016 but for them not to take effect until 2017/18.

Hoffman said they will be looking at grandfathering students who already attend a school but no longer fit in the catchment.

Blackberries take over park, private yard

By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

If a crushing wall of blackberries from a neighbour’s property is climbing through your fence and threatening to turn your home into a modern-day Sleeping Beauty’s palace, you are on your own.

While blackberries are a highly invasive species that has taken over many acres of land in Langley Township, there is no imperative for local government to attempt to control the thorny, creeping blackberry bushes.

This is what Justine Head discovered after complaining about the blackberries which have spread from the adjoining municipal Vanetta Park in Aldergrove.

The pressure of the heavy bushes is pushing over her cedar fence and the blackberries are pushing through, under and over her fence.

Head has tried to cut them back but they keep coming back, with a vengeance.

She has requested that the Township permanently remove the blackberry bushes which

grow along the banks of Bertrand Creek in Vanetta Park, but the Township has denied her request.

The Township has told Head that because it’s on a stream side there are setbacks which must be adhered to, but that Head could cut the blackberries back one metre on the park side of the property line.

Head said this is beyond her capabilities and wouldn’t do much good as the blackberries will simply and quickly regenerate back onto her property if they aren’t removed altogether.

Township Parks manager Al Neufeld told The Star that while blackberries are a problem in many areas the Township simply doesn’t have the resources to battle them.

The Township has identified six invasive species which are targeted — Japanese knotweed, giant hogweed, English ivy, purple loostrife, Himalayan balsam and tansy ragwort — and there is funding set aside for controlling these species.

“Blackberries are naturally occurring, spread by birds and they often choke out the native vegeta-

Township firefighters don’t fight many fires

By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

Busy Langley Township firefighters spend most of their time treating people suffering heart attacks and other medical emergencies or extracting people from wrecked cars and trucks.

Actual fires make up less than three per cent of the incidents Township firefighters responded to last year, according to the annual fire department report distributed to council on June 5.

The figures for 2014 “response types and call volumes” show there were 6,325 incidents handled by Township firefighters, a jump of 22 per cent from 2013.

Most were medical calls, 2,446.

The second most common incident calls were motor vehicle accidents, 1,140.

Third were ringing alarms, 745.

There were a total of 164 fire incidents in 2014, 84 of them involving vehicles, 48 residential buildings, 20 commercial and 12 “other” types.

Response times for structure fires were just within the eight-minute target maximum set by the Township, at an average of seven minutes and 56 seconds.

One in four incidents requires Township firefighters to travel more than eight kilometres from the hall to the incident.

The report shows that close to half the buildings inspected by the fire department failed to meet fire safety regulations, or 43 per cent of 4,376 buildings.

The fire department had 112 paid-call (part-time) and 96 career (full-time) firefighters in 2014.

tion,” said Neufeld.

“One of the best strategies is to plant trees which provide more shade than blackberries like.”

The Township and the nonprofit Langley Environmental Partners Society often work together on riparian and tree-planting projects, with funding from a variety of government and private sources.

The Vanetta Park blackberries really took over after a cottonwood tree in the park fell over a couple of years ago, says Head. The fallen tree also damaged Head’s fence and a corner of her home’s roof, but insurance took care of this expense.

The Township cut down the rest of this tree but now there is a tall cluster of fast-growing cottonwood suckers shooting up around the cut stump.

Head worries that the remaining cottonwoods along the creek will also fall, as this species of tree is notoriously weak and short-lived.

She would like to see the Township cut down all the cottonwoods and replace them with a hardier species of tree.

Police hope rivals, family rat out gun-toting gangsters

By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star

Police hope to seize illegal guns from gangsters by encouraging their friends, family, associates or even their rivals and lovers to rat them out.

The “Cash for Guns” campaign highlights the up to $2,000 reward that anonymous tipsters could get by calling Crime Stoppers to report an illegal firearm.

The move comes in the wake of a long string of recent shooting incidents in Surrey linked to gang activity.

Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers executive director Linda Annis she doesn’t care if feuding gangsters blow the whistle on each other.

“The caller’s motivation doesn’t matter,” she said. “All we want is the anonymous tip as to who has the guns, and how police might find how

it might be found and seize them.”

When a gang member or criminal has a gun, she said, someone usually knows and it could be a parent or sibling, wife or husband, girlfriend or boyfriend, associate or rival, or maybe a server in a restaurant or club.

“People may personally know individuals with these guns, but because they’re close, they may think it’s too

risky to speak out and do something about it,” Annis said. “We’re giving them the way to get past that.”

She said the goal is to help police get at least 500 illegal guns off the street over the next year.

Tipsters can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477, text to CRIMES (274637), use a Crime Stoppers iPad or iPhone app, or submit their tip via solvecrime.ca

Mystery rifles, ammunition found on rural property

By VIKKI HOPES Aldergrove Star

The Abbotsford Police Department (APD) seized a duffle bag filled with eight SKS semi-automatic rifles with magazines and a box containing ammunition from a rural property on Sunday at about 1:30 p.m.

Const. Ian MacDonald said a caller reported finding the bag in an outbuilding on the property, located in the

7800 block of Lefeuvre Road in northwest Abbotsford.

In addition to the guns, there were 34 boxes of 7.62 mm ammunition and 10 additional magazines.

MacDonald said the owners of the property, a working farm, are not associated with the find.

“We have no reason to believe that the owners or workers on the property are involved in any wrongdoing

whatsoever,” he said.

MacDonald said police believe the weapons were not there for very long and were likely stolen and deposited on the property for temporary safekeeping.

He said the items are all in the hands of the forensics unit to collect evidence, and police are working to determine from where they originated.

The SKS is a Soviet semiautomatic rifle that was

replaced for front-line service by the AK-47 in the early 1950s but is still used as a ceremonial firearm today. It is popular in the civilian surplus market in countries such as the U.S., Canada and New Zealand, according to online sources.

Anyone with information is asked to call the APD at 604-859-5225, text abbypd (222973) or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

‘We’re concerned about costs down the road:’ Mayor Froese FROM FRONT:

“has caused delay and cost to the Township” because of the existing pipeline.

It lists three examples; one where Kinder Morgan complained to the NEB about Township paving activities; one where the company reported the Township for failing to get a permit to clean a ditch 180 metres away from the pipeline; and one where it complained because the Township was replacing a tree damaged by a car accident near the line.

The report says because Kinder

Morgan installs its pipe at shallow depths, this “forces municipalities to install their utilities under the pipelines to meet KM vertical clearance requirements, requiring additional effort and cost for trenching, shoring, corrosion protection, site footprint, finishing and dewatering.”

It also means the pipeline might have to be buried deeper, at the expense of the municipality, when a road next to it needs widening, the report says.

It suggests the added costs to municipal taxpayers could be

trimmed through a number of measures, including burying the pipeline deeper and more consultation with municipal engineers.

Township Mayor Jack Froese said the report was raised with Peter Watson, chairman of the National Energy Board, during a recent meeting involving Froese, Watson and senior municipal staff.

“We’re concerned about the costs down the road,” Froese told Black Press.

Froese said the hour-long meeting was at the request of Watson.

They mayor said he was pleased to hear Watson say the federal government is preparing a law that would make pipeline operators “absolutely liable” for up to $1 billion in cleanup costs if there is a spill, more if the company is found negligent.

“I think that’s a good thing,” Froese said.

Watson described his Langley meeting as a follow-up to his sitdown with the Metro Vancouver Mayors’ Committee on April 14.

The NEB head told The Times it is all part of a bid to improve com-

munications between the Albertabased regulatory agency and the B.C.communities affected by the proposed pipeline.

He said there will be more face-toface consultation with representatives of local communities along the pipeline route in the future.

“This is just the beginning [of the process],” Watson said.

He said the NEB has heard from 400 intervenors about the Trans Mountain expansion, making it “the largest hearing we’ve conducted in our history.”

Retired teacher Marya Sopova (Shellard) has fond memories of a student’s charcoal sketch which has hung on her living room wall since 1973.

Now Sopova searches for the then aspiring six year old artist, Ken Lawrence. She wants to show him his fine work which he created during her first year teaching at Aldergrove Elementary School, after graduating from UBC. She hopes that Ken Lawrence, who attended Aldergrove Elementary, and was in Sopova’s class in a portable situated behind Aldergrove Elementary School, will come forward to claim his charcoal sketch.

Gazing with admiration at the sketch, Sopova reminisces how it happened. One sunny fall day in 1973, she had held an art lesson outside the portable with her students. The children were instructed to sketch anything that appealed to them in their surroundings, using charcoal as the medium, for this art project.

That’s when Ken Lawrence, recollects Sopova, sat on the grass and with great enthusiasm began sketching the portable and Aldergrove Elementary School in the background. She recalls how this little boy only lifted his head now and then, to examine his subject, as he earnestly sketched.

Sopova thought that his charcoal sketch was quite mature for a six year old and entered it in a local art contest. She wasn’t surprised when his sketch was awarded “first” (printed on blue and stapled in the left hand corner of the sketch in 1973).

Ken, she recalls, had little appre-

Cover of Sopova’s delightful new children’s book, “Washalot”. ciation of his piece of art, didn’t want to carry it home, and at the end of the day Sopova found the sketch in the waste basket beside her desk. Holding it by a corner, slowly and gently she lifted the sketch from the basket. Smoothing out the folds, she placed it on her desk. The following day Sopova offered Ken $5 for it and he accepted with a smile. She had the charcoal sketch specially sprayed for preservation and framed, within the same year.

Recently Sopova moved to Aldergrove from White Rock to a place already familiar to her as she had also taught at Parkside Elementary and Alice Brown Elementary schools. She decided to search for Ken Lawrence to see if he’d like to view his piece of wonderful work and perhaps even take it home with him this time.

If anyone knows the whereabouts of Ken Lawrence, please email Sopova at: comrad@shaw.ca Like this precious piece of student’s art, teaching holds many pleasant memories for Sopova.

Finding it hard to accept retirement, she has kept her finger in education by writing children’s stories.

Motivated by her years of experience as a reading teacher with a master’s degree in this important subject, she published her first children’s novel, The MouseTronaut (ages 8-11), accompanied by the Rocket of Fun workbook, four years ago. This educational package, chock full of humour, helps elementary school students to maintain their reading skills through entertainment and adventure.

The MouseTronaut was selected

by White Rock Semiahmoo Arts Council for a kick-off to a literary event in September 2010.

Late December of 2014, Sopova published her second novel, Washalot, about a raccoon family set in Aldergrove Park. This picture book, with vibrant illustrations, is to be read to pre-schoolers. It Includes is a helpful page of suggestions on how to engage a young child in story reading.

The picture book encourages attending behaviour, helps develop listening skills, enhances vocabulary, nourishes literacy, and promotes reading growth.

Sopova is now working to polish a play, Santa Goofs-up, a comedy which she has directed at three different schools. She hopes to finish it in time for Christmas 2015 and perhaps have it performed at an elementary school in Aldergrove as a fund-raiser.

For information about these children books, please e-mail Sopova at: comrad@shaw.ca Sopova will donate 20 per cent of the book profits to the Aldergrove Food Bank.

Fast said the announcement marked a “big day” for Abbotsford and B.C., as once the deal is fully implemented, the Canadian blueberry industry estimates new access to this market to be worth $65 million annually.

“The importance of blueberries to this region of the country cannot be overstated,” said Fast.

He said the government has been working on opening up the Chinese market to Canadian blueberries for years.

“It means significantly more opportunities, not only to grow blueberries, but to process blueberries.”

Helping seniors keep active

Seasonal Local Produce

By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

An Aldergrove man has designed and built an exercise machine for the physically challenged that has proven successful in rehabilitating both elderly and seriously injured people.

Now Al Wolfe wants to take his “PhysioChoice� machine to a broader market.

Wolfe first built the machine for his mother, Dorothy, in 2001 when she was in her mid-90s. “I wanted my mother to be able to continue being active,� said Wolfe. “She loved to be active in her garden and was finding it more difficult to do so because of the effects of aging and a stroke. The stroke had left her especially weak on one side.�

So Wolfe set to work, creating an exercise machine that would suit her needs. A machine that was easy to operate without any complicated switches, low-tech so that she wouldn’t get confused, with a comfortable chair that was easy to get in and out of. “It was strictly manual at first but later I put a motor in it,� said Wolfe. “Mom would power it herself for the first five minutes or so, then turn on the motor and let it move her arms and legs for another 20 minutes or so. That way every muscle gets a workout, while she just hung on — it took no effort.�

The machine engages muscles in both passive and active exercise, and both kinds of movement brings significant benefits. Muscles degenerate when they aren’t used.

Dorothy passed away in 2009 at the age of 103, but she was able to walk and keep active to the end of her days, thanks to the machine. “She didn’t deteriorate as one might have expected her to,� said Wolfe. “Her doctor was impressed with her abilities for her age. He was often heard pointing her out to his other patients, saying, ‘This lady is 102 years old!’�

Wolfe has built a handful of the

Dorothy Wolfe remained active and able to walk up until her passing at age 103, thanks to this “PhysioChoice� exercise machine developed and built by her son, Al of Wolffe Custom Craft Ltd. machines, and has testimonials from four users.

He assembles the machines in his little shop, and jobs out the specialty work such as the powder coating, electronics and welding. “I basically cut and put them together,� said Wolfe. “I also go to trade shows and hope to develop a market for the PhysioChoice machine. I’m semiretired and do part-time work, and invest this money in developing a market for my machine. “There is a great need for it, I just have to get well-known.�

Wolfe says he’s aiming to keep the price below $3,000 for the machine, which is about half the cost of a similar style machine built in Europe. “I want to enable seniors to enjoy a better quality of life in their advanced years and to make the machine as accessible as possible.

Accessibility means simple to use physically and mentally, as well as being as inexpensive as possible.�

Heritage school gets wrecking ball

By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

Kurt Langmann Editor

Janice Reid

Advertising consultant

Aldergrove Heritage Society director Erik Simonsen says he regrets abandoning his hopes of restoring the Aldergrove Elementary School.

The two-story schoolhouse was built on the site in 1914 and was used until its closure in 2007. It is a heritage site, however, it has fallen into disrepair and has been rented out to film producers for various movies and TV programs since 2007.

Langley Township purchased the school property for a new Aldergrove recreation centre, and initially planned to

restore the building as a new public library, as part of the new complex. However, the cost of removing asbestos as well as work to bring it up to current building codes is prohibitive, estimated at over $2 million.

The Township has decided to dismantle the building and preserve portions of it for use in a display inside the planned new recreation centre complex.

Simonsen had been exploring the possibility of relocating the building and placing it atop a new foundation inside Philip Jackman Park. He told The Star that the estimates he received for this work would

be in the range of $1 million.

Simonsen had also explored the possibility of getting senior government grants for this heritage project, which he said would be more meaningful than “just saving a facade.” He had hoped that it could be a public facility such as a museum and archives.

“Unfortunately, all of council’s decisions were made incamera, so there was no time to garner public support for this plan or to apply for the federal grants,” said Simonsen.

“It could have been Aldergrove’s sesquicentennial project to commemorate the anniversary of Confederation.”

Editor’s note: See letter below.

Decisions based on financial spreadsheet

BC Press Council The Aldergrove Star is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder. If talking with the editor or publisher does not resolve your complaint about coverage or story treatment, you may contact the B.C. Press Council.

Your written concern, with documentation, should be sent to B.C. Press Council, PO Box 1356, Ladysmith, V9G 1A9.

For information: phone 888-687-2213 or www.bcpresscouncil.org

Editor: Mayor and Council decided at their “in camera” meeting on 15 June, to demolish the old Aldergrove Elementary School.

The Aldergrove School is a Heritage Site. To acquire such a designation an outside consultant, with expertise in historical structures, is commissioned to study and make a recommendation on the suitability of the site or structure for such a designation. From there it goes to the Township Heritage Commission for their recommendation based on the Consultant’s Statement of Significance. The report along with the Heritage Commission’s Recommendation is then brought to Mayor and Council who determine if a Heritage Designation will be issued.

Following is an excerpt from the Consultant’s report: “Aldergrove Elementary School is valued for its Edwardian-era Arts and Crafts architecture, as designed by the Provincial

Department of Public Works.

Constructed in 1913 at the tail end of a great development boom, Aldergrove Elementary School is distinguished by its two-story height and symmetrical construction. The original materials used in the construction of the school, such as its wooden siding and trim elements, reflect the locally available, typical construction materials of the Edwardian era.

Schools typically reflected the Arts and Crafts style, which was the favoured style for residential construction, blending these schools into their domestic environment.”

All decisions regarding Aldergrove School demolition were made without community input and without soliciting the people of Aldergrove for their suggestions.

All that Mayor and Council is offering the people of Aldergrove, and all the previous teachers and students who remember the school fondly,

is to include a “Community and Heritage Recognition Area which will include the Heritage and History of the School Building.”

The residents and businesses of Aldergrove were not even offered an opportunity to come up with alternatives or to raise the money needed to save this major historical Aldergrove landmark.

It is true that when a decision is made strictly to a financial spreadsheet it is cheaper to demolish, or as the Township says; ‘to deconstruct the structure’, than to save and restore the building to code.

Over the years I have seen so many businesses, corporations and history of this province and country destroyed because the decisions were made strictly according to a spreadsheet.

When the decision maker’s vision only extends to the quarterly and yearly balance sheets, what more can you expect?

Erik Simonsen, Aldergrove

Editor: The following letter has been sent to Mayor Jack Froese and Langley Township council: On numerous occasions during the past year, I have house- and dog-sat for a niece who lives three blocks from Brown Park, located at 240 Street and 51 Avenue, within the Township of Langley. It is a favourite locale for me to include when exercising my niece’s two dogs, because of the ability to avoid a lot of traffic and its tranquil setting.

In recent months, I’ve also witnessed the parking area for Brown Park being paved, lined, and having appropriate concrete bumpers installed. However I have to question why the 100 or 200 feet of access to the parking area off 240 Street was not paved during the process? It’s nonsensical.

Subsequent to the paving of the parking area at Brown Park, I have personally witnessed at least one driver using it like a drag strip, because of the lack of speed bumps.

Locals have confirmed that this is becoming an ongoing problem. It is also a popular gathering spot for youth to have pot parties, disturbing the adjacent neighbours.

Brown Park is a little jewel within the Township of Langley that should not be allowed to become a nuisance to local residents.

Therefore, I appeal to council to ensure proper signage is posted adjacent to the park, that it be more frequently patrolled, and that speed bumps be installed within its parking area to better control those that would abuse the privilege of having access.

Don Gillis, Aldergrove

Taxpayers under duress Editor: This council, like previous ones, raised our property taxes by almost four per cent again this year. They spend like drunken sailors in port for one night yet I haven’t seen anything in local media that would indicate we sheep, the taxpayers, have even noticed.

I think it’s time for a taxpayer revolt - just compare your property tax increases over the past few years with the “additional” value you receive for these never-ending rip-off charges and you should be just about fed up.

These bandits may be secure for another 3-1/2 years but we should be getting ready for a latter-day Boston Tea Party.

Win Bromley, Langley Township

Valley poised for major growth Editor: The provincial government, regardless of party in control, has forecasts for the future of the Fraser Valley that are woefully out of date. A quick look at the investments by major multinational car manufacturers in dealerships on the Langley Bypass is just an indication of the belief that the valley is in an massive growth spurt right now.

In my area, there is continual construction of what in Surrey is referred to as “monster” homes. Here, with all our space, the homes, built for the most part by third- and fourth-generation Canadians are not out of place. They are just a portent of the future.

It is time the government gets on board, comes down from the lofty towers in Victoria and gets a good look at what is happening with the population explosion, from Langley to Chilliwack. We need updated infrastructure.

Terry Brenan, Aldergrove

Who’s in charge here?

Editor: Are Supreme Court Judges stepping over their Judicial limitations?

Never before in the history of Canada has any Supreme Court Judge been able to declare any drug safe for medicinal purposes without the formal authorization to market or distribute a medicine without a Notice of Compliance issued by Health Canada.

The recent approval by The Supreme Court of the marihuana drug sales without the approval of Health Canada is a strange phenomenon indeed.

It strikes me more like a democratic dictatorship then anything else.

Is there anyone who holds these Judges accountable? How? One can only wonder, just who runs the country? The Government or the Supreme Court Judges?

B.C. still the Wild West for elections

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Peace Portal Alliance Church member Yvonne Scott (of Aldergrove) teaches at a school in Uganda for children who can’t afford school fees.

Helping hand in Uganda Aldergrove Star

Children living in a small town just outside the Ugandan capital will be smiling a little brighter this month with the help of volunteers from South Surrey’s Peace Portal Alliance Church.

Eighteen members of the congregation will spend 2½ weeks working just outside of Mpiji, on a missions trip that is to include assisting a local dental team at three schools.

“We volunteer supplies and transportation,” team leader Nigel Scott said Wednesday ( June 10).

“As you can imagine, health care is out of reach for so many people there.

Dental care often comes down to, you wait until a tooth needs to be yanked and then you pull it.”

Missions trips to Uganda have been an annual event for the congregation for 10 years, ever since a Ugandan pastor’s work with Childcare Worldwide brought him to the West Coast and, ultimately, Peace Portal.

“He loved the church, went back (and) started his own church there,” said Scott. “He started it there, he reconnected with the church, let us know what was going on… and invited us to partner with him in meeting that need.”

A 10-acre property in Uganda was bought in 2004, and the following year, development began on a children’s home and Peace Portal Community Church.

The first children were taken into the home in 2006. Now, there more than 50 children cared for within the compound, which also includes a medical clinic.

“The oldest child that’s still supported by the church would be in

his mid-20s and he’s just finished up his master’s in economics,” Scott, 33, said.

“We see him as an amazing young man. He’s been a great part of the project and kind of shows what can be down with just access to education.”

For Scott – who has travelled with his wife Yvonne and two of their four children on the trip in the past – this will mark his seventh to Uganda. In addition to helping the dental team, he and the other participants from Peace Portal will do a building project and deliver supplies to families who are most in need.

He described the trips as mutually beneficial.

“We do a lot of work.

But… we receive a lot.

We learn a lot about the world through (the Ugandan people),” Scott said.

“It changed how I see the world. It’s really what I think Christians should be on about. What is a church doing to help the world around it.”

Scott, an Aldergrove resident who has attended Peace Portal since 1999, noted that efforts to help in Uganda are ongoing year-round, and fundraising – about $100,000 annually – supports the projects.

All of the funds raised go towards the project and those participating in the missions trips pay their own way, he added.

“If you’re looking at an investment in your time, it’s worth it,” he said. “It’s changed my life.

It’s fulfilling to do this type of work.”

The team heads to Uganda July 15.

The man behind “HarperPAC” says it lived and died in a few days to make a point about third-party advertising in Canadian politics.

When it launched, I wondered why he would choose such a deliberately provocative name.

No, not “Harper,” but the acronym for “Political Action Committee,” which has come to symbolize the financial excesses of U.S. politics.

HarperPAC ran one radio ad, accusing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau of blaming voters for his declining popularity, and suggesting that Trudeau’s “months of mistakes” are a likelier cause.

No kidding.

HarperPAC spokesman Stephen Taylor, who like Stephen Harper before him has worked for the National Citizens’ Coalition, announced the end of the project last week.

“We have contributed to a new discussion about political financing in a fixed election era that is critical to our democracy,” Taylor said.

“We note that this discussion only occurred once a right-wing analog of the left’s PAC-style efforts emerged on the scene.”

B.C.’s

views Tom Fletcher

Indeed, it was when HarperPAC emerged that muttering began about “dark money” in Canadian politics.

Unifor, Anti-Conservative front LeadNow and the many faces of the Tides Foundation somehow failed to ignite much discussion in the Canadian media.

Taylor launched the bid in response to the emergence of “Engage Canada,” a unionfinanced action committee that he said was part of a broader effort by the left to oust the Conservatives.

Engage Canada portrays itself as a brave alternative to shadowy right-wing groups such as Working Canadians, which has also run pro-Conservative ads.

Engage Canada’s latest ad plays on the union movement’s cherished “inequality” theme, selecting statistics to portray the wealthy as making out far better than the rest of us in Harper’s

Canada. (The notion that “inequality” can and should be fixed by ever-higher taxes on “the rich” staggers on, zombielike, as if capitalism was the cause of poverty.)

Two recent developments have led to all this. Scheduled elections every four years have finally taken effect at the federal level, after a series of minority governments.

And courts have repeatedly struck down efforts to restrict third-party spending in the socalled “pre-campaign” period as an unwarranted restriction on free speech.

The B.C. Liberal government tried and failed several times to restrict third party spending, largely in response to the million-dollar tirades of the teachers’ union. Former attorney general Wally Oppal used to warn about American-style influence by wealthy interest groups targeting scheduled elections.

Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party.

This spring the B.C. Liberal majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act.

Not only did this recognize the freedom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with pre-campaign restrictions on registered political parties and candidates.

NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House.

The big difference between the pre-campaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level.

That means more money available for third-party campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed between the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else.

Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle.

Children’s Hospital goal exceeded Aldergrove Star

They are highly motivated, dedicated and committed to help, and as an organization we proudly support them in any way we can.” says Val Mackey, Aldergrove Credit Union Vice President, Human Resources, and BC Children’s Hospital Foundation Chair of the Credit Union, Insurance and Financial Services Committee.

Fundraising activities in the branches and around the

Aldergrove Financial Group staff and members rallied to champion a four week fundraising campaign that achieved 129 per cent of their fundraising goal, and an all-time high of $19,355 in support of BC Children’s Hospital.

“We achieved these results because our staff and members are inspired by real life stories that have touched their lives.

Fraser Valley included multiple Jeans Days, raffles, personalized message board, the annual BC Children’s Hospital Slo-Pitch Tournament, and new this year, together with support from staff and management at the Town Hall in Abbotsford, a successful pub night.

BC Children’s Hospital uses donations to purchase life-saving equipment; research the treatment, prevention and cure of

childhood diseases; recruit and provide educational programs for caregivers; and provide programs in communities throughout the province.

Aldergrove Financial Group, which includes Aldergrove Credit Union, is a proud community partner. Last year they invested over $190,000 and donated over 330 hours of volunteer time to worthwhile initiatives in our communities.

New ‘engageTOL’ webpage encourages public to provide input Aldergrove Star

The Township of Langley is inviting residents to become better engaged.

A new webpage at tol.ca/engagetol has been created as part of the engageTOL initiative recently launched by the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement.

Through the webpage, members of the community can share their ideas about effective public engagement, find out about upcoming

engagement opportunities, and keep up to date on the committee’s progress.

The engageTOL webpage is the first in a number of opportunities for public input that will be presented as the committee explores ways to better connect with residents on planning and development processes and projects. The committee’s goal is to help the Township ensure that meaningful two-way dialogue occurs consistently between citizens, stakehold-

ers, and government during these processes.

“It has been a busy and productive few months for the committee, as we have been collecting information, looking at best practices, and doing research on how to better engage people in the Township,” said Mayor Jack Froese. “Now it’s your turn. We want to hear from residents about the various ways they would like to get involved and provide input, so that we can work effectively together to

the engageTOL webpage to provide comments and sign up to receive alerts on future updates and notifications. The committee can also be reached by email at engage@tol.ca “This is your community,” said Froese. “Have your say and join the conversation.”

Once all the input is analyzed, a new engagement policy, guidelines, and a toolkit for the Township will be presented to council for approval in late fall.

Champoux, Ellenwood to wear Maple Leaf

By GARY AHUJA Aldergrove Star

Two Langley teenagers have been chosen to compete for Canada on the world stage.

Megan Champoux and Dean Ellenwood are among the athletes announced by Athletics Canada on Friday ( June 26) who will represent Canada at the 2015 world youth championships.

The track and field competition runs July 15 to 19 in Cali, Colombia.

Champoux, who will run in the women’s 400m hurdles

and Ellenwood in the men’s 800m race, are members of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field Club.

Champoux, 15, is coached

by Jarid Vaughan while the 17-year-old Ellenwood is coached by Dwayne Lotnick.

The pair both medalled at the B.C. high school track and field championships in early June with Champoux winning gold in the senior girls 400m race and bronze in the 100m event, while Ellenwood won silver in the senior boys 800m and bronze in the 400m.

Canada’s World Cup run comes to an end Aldergrove Star

Canada’s World Cup run has come to an end.

Abbotsford’s Sophie Schmidt and Team Canada fell 2-1 to England in a quarterfinal match where all the goals arrived in the first half of play.

The Canadians went down by two within the first 15 minutes of the game as England’s Lucy Bronze and Jodie Taylor finished their chances in the 11th and 14th minutes respectively.

Canada, in front of a

54,000-strong crowd, rallied in the 42nd minute with a goal by Canadian superstar Christine Sinclair, which pulled them within one.

But the English defence was stingy and kept the Canadians scoreless for the remainder of the game.

Schmidt played a strong in the midfield. An early chance on goal for Melissa Tancredi was created off a solid tackle by Schmidt in her own defensive zone.

After the loss, coach John Herdman talked about

his team’s effort and the support from fans.

“Canada we’ve given you our best and it just wasn’t good enough,” said Herdman. “We wanted to go all the way for you.”

To the spectators that filled the arena for Canada’s matches, he labelled, “Immense.”

“We’ve broken records,” said Herdman, making note of the attendance and TV ratings.

He then touched on the future of the squad, calling it bright and men-

tioned 20-year-old midfielder Ashley Lawrence who tallied Canada’s game-winning goal against the Netherlands to help Canada top Group A. Lawrence is Canada’s third youngest scorer in a World Cup match.

In all likelihood, this is also Sinclair’s last World Cup as a player; the veteran Canadian forward held back tears post-game.

“Hope the country’s proud of the performance we put forth,” said Sinclair.

“Super proud of our

team. First time in the tournament we were down. We had a lot of chances but we just couldn’t put one away.”

Canada will now look toward the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.

England faces Japan in the semi-finals, Wednesday, July 1 at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton at 5 p.m. The U.S. and Germany will meet on the other side of the bracket, Tuesday, June 30 in Montreal’s Olympic Stadium at 7 p.m.

The World Cup final is on Sunday, July 5.

Township camps turn kids into ‘eco explorers’ Aldergrove Star

A chance for children to play and explore in the great outdoors; a safe environment; and a very low cost.

For Brookswood mom Julie Bergen, it is the perfect equation for ensuring her kids have a great summer, and the reason why she enrols her two sons in Eco Explorer Kids’ Camps year after year.

“It’s a fabulous program – fun, educational, and affordable. They love it there,” said Bergen.

Presented by the Township of Langley and the Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS), Eco Explorer Kids’ Camps are held every summer at the Langley Demonstration Garden at the Derek Doubleday Arboretum, in the 21200 block of Fraser Highway. The camps give youngsters aged 6 to 12 a chance to examine the creatures that share our ecosystem and the plants found in our backyards – for just five dollars a session.

Bergen first enrolled her son Matthew in the Camps when he was six

years old. He is now 12 and has attended every year, along with his brother Christopher, now 10.

“I heard about it from a friend and it sounded like something my kids would enjoy: the outdoors, nature, learning about bugs,” Bergen said.

“And the price is good – five dollars. You can’t beat that.”

The Eco Explorer Kids’ Camps started at the former Demonstration Garden location in Murrayville.

Three years ago, the Garden moved to the Arboretum, which Bergen said is a great location for children to play and learn in.

“There is lots of room to roam and run around in. It’s a really great place to explore,” she said. “It’s a chance for the kids to get dirty and learn about worms and composting and how bugs relate to us.

They play in the weeds, walk the trails, and go on treasure hunts.”

In the case of the Eco Explorer Kids’ Camps, “treasure” refers to the insects and other small critters that inhabit the

natural space, and the Camps’ activities revolve around the role they play in the environment.

“You never know what they will be coming home with,” said Bergen.

“It’s always something creative. Once they built a bat house.”

She added that Camp instructors are trustworthy, enthusiastic, and know how to keep the range of ages interested.

While sometimes she stays to watch and lend a hand, Bergen feels safe leaving her sons at Camp while she runs errands.

“It gives me a break,”

she said, noting that the Camps are an excellent, affordable option for parents looking for things for their children to do over the summer.

“The camps are excellent value, and they offer so much,” said Albert Xie, who works for LEPS in the Langley Demonstration Garden.

“Five dollars is a really reasonable price for three hours of childcare, and the kids have such a great time. It’s great to see their enthusiasm and the looks on their faces when they discover something new or create something to

Christopher Bergen geared up to learn about bees during Eco Explorer Kids’ Camps, which are running again this July and August. take home and show their parents.”

Eco Explorer Kids’ Camps run in July and August and feature a different theme each week.

Kids can turn junk into art in Trash To Treasure, discover the many types of bees and make a house for them in What’s the Buzz, and learn about snails and slugs – and make a gastropod hotel – in Snail Tales.

Screeeech! Birds of Prey will allow children to see, touch, and explore the world of hawks, eagles, and owls, and in Going Batty they can learn about bats and build a bat box for an additional

$10 fee. The camps conclude with Garden Grub, where children can go on a herb hunt, discover garden spiders, and take home a potted veggie garden.

Participants are asked to bring their own lunch for a garden picnic.

Camps run from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesday, and Thursdays, although most of the Tuesday sessions have sold out.

Registration is required by calling the Langley Environmental Partners Society, 604-546-0344, or email garden@leps.bc.ca.

Comedy with ‘Bard’ in the park Aldergrove Star

Bard in the Valley (BIV) is presenting Shakespeare’s Love’s Labour’s Lost on three outdoor stages in Langley this summer, offering 16 performances between July 1 and August 2.

This is Bard in the Valley’s sixth season.

Love’s Labour’s Lost is produced by BIV president, Diane Gendron and directed by Mandy Dyck.

Dyck, who had major roles both on and off stage in the last two BIV productions, has her bachelor’s degree in theatre from the University of the Fraser Valley and is currently teaching in the Surrey school district.

Admission is free to all three performances in Fort Langley on the lawn in front of the historic community hall, and to all eight performances on the Spirit Square Stage in Douglas Park in downtown Langley.

Admission is $20 for the five performances at Township 7 Winery.
