Hoofing It For ‘Kids Help Phone’
Water restrictions start on May 15 Aldergrove Star
KURT LANGMANN PHOTO
“Chaos the Clown” led the start-off to the “Walk So Kids Can Talk” fundraiser Sunday morning at Aldergrove Regional Park. BMO, which sponsors the Kids Help Phone charity, and BMO employees raised over $100,000 in the previous eight weeks so that the Kids Help Phone can provide round-the-clock professional counseling to youths in distress in Canada. Volunteer walk coordinator Martin Straith said that more than 70,000 young callers were guided to counselling sessions last year which helped the youths deal with personal issues, and in some cases even saved their lives.
Water conservation efforts are starting earlier and will last longer in the Township of Langley and throughout Metro Vancouver to help cope with what could be another long, hot summer. Stage 1 Water Restrictions will go into effect a month sooner this year. Starting May 15, all municipal water system users must limit their lawn sprinkling to assigned days and times. Those who rely on private wells are also encouraged to support conservation efforts by complying with the water restrictions. Residential lawn sprinkling is only allowed from 4 a.m. - 9 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays for homes with even numbered addresses, and from 4 a.m. - 9 a.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays for homes with odd numbered addresses. For non-residential properties, even numbered addresses can sprinkle lawns on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1 a.m. - 6 a.m., with odd numbered addresses permitted on Tuesdays and
Thursdays from 1am - 6am. All non-residential addresses can sprinkle lawns on Fridays from 4 a.m. - 9 a.m. “We have been experiencing longer, hotter seasons and everyone needs to make a commitment at home to ensure our water levels are respected,” said Erin Pawlikowski, coordinator of the Township of Langley’s Water Wise Program, which is conducted by the Langley Environmental Partners Society. “During the warm season, our water usage increases by 50 per cent, which puts a strain on the environment and our limited water resources,” said Township of Langley environmental coordinator Meaghan Norton Daniel. She noted that some parts of the Township rely solely on groundwater drawn from local aquifers. If too much water is extracted in these areas, there is the potential for a water shortage. Other areas serviced by the Township’s municipal water system receive a mix of groundwater and water from Metro Vancouver reservoirs, which rely on snowfall and SEE: Page 3
Impaired thief snatches keys, crashes stolen car By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
Langley RCMP quickly took a car thief into custody after he crashed into a dump truck at high speed Wednesday evening. The Toyota Corolla had been stolen just minutes earlier when a man in his early 30s had accosted a woman and forcibly taken her car keys from her. The victim had parked her car at the corner of 272 St. and Fraser
Hwy. when the thief grabbed her keys from her hand shortly after 6 p.m. Sgt. Ravinder Pawar said police were already headed to the scene on another call regarding an attempted theft of a truck at 273 St. and Fraser Hwy., and received word of the stolen Toyota while en route. The responding officers witnessed the stolen Toyota headed the other direction at a very
high rate of speed, westbound on Fraser Hwy., and saw it hit a dump truck that was in the intersection of 264 St. and Fraser Hwy. The officers were able to cuff the suspect at the crash scene and took him into custody. The car theft suspect was uninjured. Sgt. Pawar said the suspect was also found to be under the influence of alcohol, and said he is known to police. “The victim was quite shaken
and our Victim Services Unit was made available to her,” said Sgt. Pawar. However, police would like to speak to the person who made the initial call regarding the attempted theft of a truck, as that person had left the scene before police arrived. If you have information that KURT LANGMANN PHOTO might assist with this investigation, please call Langley RCMP at RCMP and tow truck operator clear a stolen vehicle from crash scene at 264 St. and Fraser Hwy. 604-532-3200.

22-month sentence for savage beating
Let it go ‘golden’

rain to replenish them each year. “Our water is a precious resource that should never be wasted or taken for granted,” Norton Daniel said, as it supports two vital functions – it provides drinking water and is used in emergencies, such as fighting forest fires. “It all comes from the same source,” said Pawlikowski. “If wildfires get out of control and more water is needed to fight them, we will experience higher stages of restrictions throughout the summer to help maintain supplies.” “That’s why people need to let their lawns go golden and focus on draught resistant landscaping,” she said. “We need to think about what’s important, and little efforts make a big difference if everybody does them.” The Stage 1 Restrictions, which are automatically implemented throughout Metro Vancouver every year, will stay in effect until October 15 and can escalate to more restrictive levels if drought conditions persist. For more information, visit tol.ca/waterrestrictions.
A 20-year-old Langley man has been sentenced to nearly two years in jail for beating and robbing another man two years ago. Last Monday in Surrey Provincial Court, Mathew Samms was given 22 months in jail, to be followed by three years probation and a lifetime weapons ban. Last October, a provincial court judge found Samms guilty of robbery and assault causing bodily harm in connection to the beating of Chris Lafrenier

Erin Pawlikowski of the Township of Langley’s Water Wise program encourages residents to help preserve precious water resources this summer by hand watering their gardens. Stage 1 Water Restrictions, which limit the days and hours when lawn sprinkling is permitted, go into effect on May 15 this year.
Distracted drivers remain a problem Aldergrove Star
Many motorists are under the wrong impression that distracted driving is a thing of the past. “On March 17, Langley RCMP issued 38 violation tickets for this offence alone,” said Langley RCMP Corporal Holly Largy, Media Relations Officer. “March has been designated as Distracted Driver’s month and Langley Traffic Section have focused their efforts on this offence through various enforcement initiatives. Officers have been in unmarked cars and employed innovative ways to identify individuals in violation of the legislation. The legislation has now been in force for five years. “When you’re distracted, you
react slower. You’re four times more likely to crash if you’re on the phone while driving,” said Hilary Matheson, Langley road safety coordinator. “Focus on the road, not on your phone, and watch for pedestrians and cyclists.” You’re five times more likely to crash if you’re using your phone while you’re driving. Distracted driving is responsible for about one quarter of all car crash fatalities in B.C. Every year, on average, 81 people are killed in distracted driving-related crashes in the Lower Mainland. Some common excuses are “It was my son / daughter calling, I had to answer it.” “It was work calling…. I had to answer.” Or “My boss expects me to answer.”
Some morotists drive with it in their hands and claim they aren’t using it. More than one driver said they didn’t have their cell phone up to their ear, it was their wallet. It’s noting that the cost of a violation ticket exceeds the cost of most hands-free blue tooth devices. In addition to the distracted driving violations, 18 seatbelt tickets were issued, 15 intersection tickets and another 15 for a variety of other reasons. Langley RCMP encourages motorists to recognize road safety as an individual’s responsibility. Anyone with questions or concerns can call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 and ask to speak to someone in the Traffic Unit.
in November, 2014. Samms’ friend, a 16-year-old Aldergrove boy, had already pleaded guilty and was sentenced two years ago to an unspecified amount of time for his part in assaulting and robbing Lafrenier. His name can’t be published because he is a young offender. The 16-year-old testified at Samms’ trial that he had kicked the victim in the head at least 15 times. Lafrenier, who suffered a head injury, broken nose and a broken tooth, had to take time off work and was unable to pay rent for a month.
Police show weapons and drugs seized during the execution of two search warrants in Langley last Friday. The raids took place at houses in Walnut Grove and Aldergrove.
Guns, drugs seized in co-ordinated police raids By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star
Two people were arrested, while guns and drugs were seized in two separate police raids of Langley homes — one in Aldergrove and the other in Walnut Grove — last Friday,April 22. After a lengthy investigation by the Langley RCMP Drug Section into a local crime group’s drug dealings, police executed the search warrants with help from the Langley RCMP Prolific Offender Suppression Team, Street Enforcement Unit and the Emergency Response Team. Included among the items seized that day were handguns, magazine clips, rifles, a shotgun, various types of ammunition and a cross bow. A variety of drugs were seized including heroin, methamphetamine, crack cocaine, powder cocaine, MDMA (also known as ecstasy) as well as suspected fake Oxycontin pills, along with a signifi-
cant amount of cash. Police arrested two people during the execution of the warrant and as the investigation continues will be recommending numerous criminal charges against these and other members of this group, said Langley RCMP. “It is critical to the long-term safety and living quality of Langley that we, the RCMP, continue to effectively target local and regional crime groups,” said Langley RCMP Supt. Murray Power. “Any groups engaged in drug trafficking, weapons possession and or use are a real and credible threat to our community. Our specialized units in Langley will continue to work collectively and keep the pressure on persons engaged in crime.” Anyone with information that might assist with any of the above investigations, is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Hospice celebrates official opening Aldergrove Star
The Abbotsford Hospice Society (AHS) celebrated the official opening on Friday afternoon of Holmberg House, the city’s first adult hospice. Dignitaries on hand for the celebration included MLAs Darryl Plecas, Mike de Jong and Simon Gibson; MPs Ed Fast and Jati Sidhu; Mayor Henry Braun; and members of city council and the board of education. “Holmberg House is indeed a wonderful addition to our community,” said Plecas, who served as master of ceremonies. Plecas, Braun and de Jong each addressed the crowd, saying the project would not have come to fruition without the dedicated efforts of volunteers, staff and donors. “Holmberg House will truly be a home. It will be a place of
security and warmth … It will be cial government. a place where comfort is given,” Holmberg was presented with Braun said. the Medal of Good Citizenship Also commending all the to acknowledge not only his people involved in contributions to the project was David the hospice but to Turchen, chair of the numerous other comAHS board of direcmunity endeavours, tors. including Discovery He said the board Trail, the Abbotsford has been “honoured Airport, Big Brothers and humbled” by the Big Sisters and community support.

Groundbreaking on Holmberg House began in 2013, and the home was originally slated to open the following year, but funding difficulties delayed construction. De Jong referenced these “trials and tribulations” during his speech. “It was during those times that we took a breath and said the destination was worth the few potholes in the road.” For more information about Holmberg House, visit abbotsfordhospice.org.

Many impaired drivers caught during daylight hours By VIKKI HOPES Aldergrove Star
Statistics released by the Abbotsford Police Department provide some surprising information about impaired drivers, says Const. Ian MacDonald. MacDonald said police looked at a 28-day period, running from Jan. 23 to Feb. 19, and found that of the 44 impaired drivers caught during that time,
one-quarter of the infractions took place between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Many of these drivers were in or near school zones when pulled over by police, MacDonald added. He said these stats dispel the myths that people are driving drunk only at night, that many of them will take back roads to avoid detection and that most are
detected only during police roadblocks. In one case, an impaired woman in her 40s was caught driving 80 km/hr through a school zone at 1 p.m. MacDonald said if this wasn’t alarming enough, the woman was oblivious that police were attempting to pull her over. “It took quite awhile to get her attention, despite the lights and sirens,” he said.

When she was stopped, an open bottle of rum was found in her car. The woman was given a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition. MacDonald said enforcement during the 28-day period was conducted at all hours of the day and night, and the stats are an eye-opener. “Impaired driving is a 24/7 issue, and it puts us all at risk,” he said.

From war, floods, and space exploration to transportation, landmarks, and sports heroes, Canada’s history was captured by students from three Langley Township elementary schools and put on exhibit at the first ever Langley Heritage Fair. The event was held at the Fort Langley Community Hall on April 22 to showcase the enthusiasm and academic excellence that James Kennedy, Richard Bulpitt, and Dorothy Peacock students poured into their projects when they participated in their school heritage fairs. Staff and volunteers from the Langley Centennial Museum and the Langley Heritage Society (LHS), along with Langley School District librarian and heritage champion Deb Cowland, were so impressed with the calibre of the projects, they organized the regional Fair to recognize the children’s efforts and give them greater exposure. More than 80 projects were presented at the Fair, and several students were honoured with awards to recognise their exceptional efforts: Ashlyn Holloway was presented with the Docent Award by Kay McComish, a docent at the Museum
Editor: I would like to extend my congratulations to this year’s winners and nominees of the Eric Flowerdew, John and Muriel Arnason and Pete Swensson Awards. All candidates were exceptional in their volunteerism and each person nominated this year, deserved to be recognized for their contributions to our community. I’ve had the immense privilege of being on the nomination committee for the Township of Langley’s Volunteer Awards for the past few years. This means that I was part of the team that reviewed the nominations that were submitted and when necessary, sought out additional information on the candidates so that when the nomination packages were given to the selection committee, they knew everything there was to know about each volunteer. It may seem overwhelming to put together a nomination package and that is why our group of volunteers exists – to assist where necessary. A nomination package must include a completed nomination form, letters of support and newspaper articles, if there are any. On the evening of the awards dinner, the room was filled to capacity with volunteers, yet we had only six nominations for the Flowerdew and Arnason awards combined. The choice of candidates was outstanding but clearly, there are so many more people that deserve recognition and the only way for to do that are through nominations. If you know a hard working volunteer or volunteer duo (friends, husband/wife, brother/sister team) that live and volunteer in the Township please consider putting their name forward for next year’s awards. If you start compiling information now, you’ll already have done the research needed when it’s time to submit your nomination package. For a candidate, you need to know what volunteer activities they are involved in, what they specifically do, as well as the years they’ve been doing it. Kari Medos, Langley

Langley Heritage Society member and longtime Aldergrove resident Fred Pepin presented Adam Scarbourough with the Langley Heritage Society Award and a copy of the Langley history book “Nothing Without Effort” for his project on Sopwith Pup Planes. and an LHS member, for her project on Canada’s Home Children. Derek Little received the Artistic Achievement Award from Township of Langley Acting Cultural Services Manager Jeff Chenatte for his project on Vimy Ridge. Jasmine Marcotte’s project on women’s rights and the Famous Five earned her the Most Original Topic Award, which was presented by Langley School District’s Lynie
Tener. Caitlyn Kirk received the Curator’s Award from the Township’s Arts and Heritage Curator Jasmine Moore for her presentation on the Delta Police. A project on Residential Schools earned Kylen Bruce the Educator’s Award from Jeff Chenatte. And Adam Scarborough was presented with the Langley Heritage Society Award by LHS President Fred Pepin for his work on Sopwith
Pup Planes. Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese toured the exhibits and was amazed by the variety of topics the children came up with, and the quality of the projects. “I am so impressed with all the work you have put into this; you’ve learned so much and so have I,” he told the students, noting they were making history themselves, as this was the first Heritage Fair of its kind to be held in Langley.
Editor: A sign was recently installed at Jackman Wetlands on 272 Street, informing users that part of area is leased to the retriever club. The dogs belonging to club members are permitted to be off leash and all other animals must be leashed. When did it become practice to have two sets of rules for a public area? I have talked to people from the club and many of their members are not even locals. I and several others would like to be able to enjoy this area as it is well off any main roads and offers our pets a chance to swim and just be dogs. It seems to me if this is a public park/area then rules should apply to everyone. This is a delightful place to take a dog — ponds to swim or cool off in warmer weather, bush to explore, room to run free and far from any busy road and freedom to just be a dog. L. Dondo, Langley

Valley police tackle property crime Aldergrove Star
Police forces in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission have teamed up to try to quell an increase in property crime in the Fraser Valley. The Abbotsford Police Department and Chilliwack and Mission RCMP detachments have all contributed officers to a unit dedicated to targeting property crime in the three cities. Seven officers – three from Abbotsford and two each from Chilliwack and Mission – form the core of the unit, which began its work earlier last month and has the ability to access other resources, like helicopters or emergency response teams as the need arises. The initiative – dubbed Project Valley Sweep – is in response

cycle,” he said. “What we want to do is actually create some solutions.” But the unit will also seek to come down hard on those who don’t want to change their ways. “We will also be working with Crown Counsel and Regional Probation to advocate for stiffer sentences for those unwill-
ing to make efforts to change their behaviours,” said Abbotsford Chief Constable Bob Rich. The aim is to match criminals’ tendency to roam between communities, and the unit will draw on crime analysts to determine where and how to focus its attentions.

The property crime team will target the repeat and chronic offenders responsible for many of the incidents. But the aim isn’t just to put those criminals in prison, Abbotsford Police Const.

With addiction issues often driving property crime, MacDonald said officers will have “heart-to-heart conversations” with chronic offenders and hope to place those who want help in fighting their addiction. “We want to assist them in breaking that

Jim Quick and wife Greta of Aldergrove brought their lovingly restored 1961 Ford Falcon Ranchero to the annual D.W. Poppy school car show on Sunday. The Quicks put $7,000 into rebuilding the old classic which they picked up for under $3,000 from an Abbotsford farmer. There were more than 700 car exhibitors who showed off their unique vehicles under a brilliant sunny sky to throngs of admirers. The annual event raises funds for the high school’s “dry grad.”

Food prices squeeze Gateway of Hope By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
The free meal programs operated by the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope shelter in Langley City are being squeezed by a combination of higher food prices and increased demand. “It’s a double whammy for us,” said Gateway executive director Jim Coggles. Coggles said the average weekly food bill for Gateway has gone up from roughly $2,000 a week to $2,500, forcing them to temporarily cut some vegetables from the menu. Fresh produce prices in Canada started rising after Christmas, the result of a four-year drought in California and the falling Canadian dollar. Statistics Canada reported the Consumer Price Index for food rose 3.4 per cent from November 2014 to November 2015. That average increase included a six per cent hike in meat prices, a

provide food by declaring a person “who donates food, or who distributes donated food, to another person is not liable for (legal) damages (with a few exceptions).” That, Coggles hopes, will make it easier to attract more “big two” categories of food donations, protein and produce. “What we’re trying to do is ensure no food goes to waste,” Coggles said. Anyone interested in making donations of food or money to help Gateway with its food costs can call them at 604-514-7375 and ask for the food services manager. The Gateway of Hope website notes that it serves three meals a day to shelter guests and one meal a day to the public. The Gateway of Hope facility at 5787 Langley Bypass has 32 beds in its emergency shelter, 25 in its transitional housing program, as well as up to 30 additional mats during extreme weather and over 25 other programs and services.

10 per cent hike for fresh fruit and 11 per cent hike to fresh vegetable prices. Gateway had to suspend using celery in soup after the price of the product went from $20 to $80 a case. “It (the price of celery) just got crazy for a time,” Coggles said. The shelter is now using four food suppliers instead of one in a bid to keep costs down. “We spend more time shopping,” Coggles said. “It’s really about trying to stretch the budget.” While the menu has been adjusted to help cope with the higher costs, Gateway is still providing complete, nutritious meals to people in need at a cost of about $3.25 per person, Coggles said. “We will never turn anyone away,” Coggles said. “This is the only real solid meal (some are) going to get.” Coggles wants prospective donors to know about the “Food Donor Encouragement Act” of B.C, which makes it easier for donors to

Langley Township fire department is reminding residents that it is burning season. The fire department has received several calls of complaint about burning in recent weeks, but in many cases the property owner has a permit, said assistant fire chief Pat Walker. “We have 17 land clearings in the process that will be doing burning for the next week,” said Walker. “Permits are being issued, so that’s good to keep in mind.” Burning is permitted twice annually, during the month of April and from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31 (weather permitting). Burning is not permitted in urban areas.

The Vancouver Giants announced on May 3 that the hockey club will relocate to the Langley Events Centre, beginning at the start of the 2016/17 Western Hockey League season. “This is a decision that allows us to relocate to an area where a very high percentage of our core demographic live,” said Giants majority owner Ron Toigo. “It also allows us to have a home venue whose size will enable us to sell out games, create a fun game night atmosphere and give the team some real home ice advantage.

The Langley Events Centre opened in 2009 and is located in the Township of Langley on 200 Street at 80 Avenue. The 322,312 square foot facility has played host to hockey, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball and gymnastics as well as many other special events. The Giants played six games at the LEC during the 2009/10 season because of the 2010 Winter Olympics while Vancouver also hosted a pre-season game at the facility on Sept. 18, 2015. The current capacity for hockey at the LEC is 5,276.
“The Township of Langley is a hockey town and an exceptional sports destination; we are thrilled that the Giants are making the Langley Events Centre their new home,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. “The Giants and the Western Hockey League will bring fans from throughout the entire region to the LEC, and we look forward to seeing sell-out crowds cheering them on.” To inquire about purchasing season tickets to see the Vancouver Giants, call 604-4-GIANTS (604-444-2687).

OBITUARIES
Flaggers & Lane Closure Technicians required for Valley Traffic.
KOSIANCIC It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Thomas Frank Kosiancic. Born September 1, 1931 in Rossland, BC he took his final bus ride to the heavens on April 17, 2016. He lived in Crescent Valley until 1964, then moved to North Vancouver until 1993, then moved to Bradner, BC. He was loved and respected by many, and leaves behind his wife of 62 years Marjorie Hazel Kosiancic, nee Doerksen, their five children and spouses; Raazahn/Darleen (Larry), Sharon (Norman), Rodney (Hilary), Janice (Gerry), Kevin (Lynda), 11 grandchildren and 10 3/4 (still baking) great grandchildren. His accomplishments were many. He had a distinguished career as a Greyhound bus driver that spanned 32 years. He will be remembered for his kindness, his sense of humour and his courage that was prevalent till the very end. He was the smartest man we all new. He could build anything. If he could not fix it, then it wasn’t fixable! Good bye Tom / Dad / Grandpa, you will be missed, we all Love You. Celebration of Life to be held on May 29th from 1:00 to 5:00 at The Fort Langley Golf Course, 9782 McKinnon Crescent, Langley, BC.
