Back on Aldergrove’s Field of Dreams

By DAN FERGUSONAldergrove Star

New rules to control landfi lls in Langley Township have been approved by council despite a less-than-enthusiastic assessment by a community activist who lobbied for a stricter alternative.

Under the newly amended bylaw and related policy, large soil deposit and removal applications must go through a petition process that allows owners of properties near a fi ll site to express support or opposition.

Off enders face a fi ne and pos-sible prison time, up to a maximum of $10,000 or three months in jail, or both.

Th e policy and bylaw were put together with input from concerned residents, developers and law fi rm Bull Housser and Tupper.

Before councillors voted to give fi nal approval to the proposed regu-lations on March 3, they heard from Kevin Mitchell, speaking for a citi-zens’ group which he said spent “lit-erally hundreds of hours” reviewing

the issue.Mitchell said the new regulations

are “seriously fl awed,” only “marginal-ly stronger” with “minimal penalties” for people who dump fi ll without a permit.

Among his objections, Mitchell said the new regulations don’t require people applying for a dumping per-mit to provide a technical justifi ca-tion when they apply, something he called a “blatant omission.”

Mitchell said the township should use a waste transfer station to dis-pose of fi ll from construction sites and other excavations to fi x what he described as a legacy of “poorly run fi ll sites” in Langley.

Councillors Kim Richter and David Davis thought the Mitchell idea deserved study, but they couldn’t convince the rest of council to delay the vote until Township staff had a chance to review the notion.

It was the last appearance before Township council by Mitchell, who said he is preparing to relocate from Langley to the Shuswap.

Known for his involvement in a campaign to limit the use of propane cannon noisemakers by local berry farms, Mitchell ran as an indepen-

dent against incumbent Liberal MLA Rich Coleman in the 2013 provincial election, where the challenger fi n-ished last in a fi eld of fi ve.

In an interview at the time, Mitchell said that while the cannon issue “was the impetus” behind his decision to run as an independent, his concerns also included dumping of landfi ll material and bett er man-agement of development.

In a writt en press release issued following the council vote approving the new landfi ll rules, township soil enforcement offi cer Paul Albrecht said the revised bylaw “strikes a bal-ance between giving residents input into proposals that may impact the neighborhood and the broader com-munity, while still providing an opportunity for a land owner to initi-ate a proposal that may improve their property.”

Th e new regulations cover non-farm use soil deposit and removal applications.

Fill proposals for land on protect-ed farmland within the Agricultural

Land Reserve (ALR) in Langley will still require approval of the provin-cial Agricultural Land Commission (ALC).

“It is important that residents who wish to deposit on or remove soil from their property att ain a permit from the Township,” Albrecht said.

“We strongly encourage residents to contact the Township for informa-tion related to the Bylaw and policy prior to initiating such work.”

Over a three-year-period, more than 100 applications were made for fi ll sites in Langley.

Many residents have complained about illegal dumping, where ponds have been fi lled in and setback requirements haven’t been respected.

Albrecht said residents who sus-pect illegal dumping or excavating should call the township Soil Hotline at 604-532-7349 or the operations centre at 604-532-7300.

The staff of the Greater Vancouver Zoo and veterinarian Dr. Bruce Burton made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize their eldest Eurasian Lynx named Papa on Thursday, April 3.

“The decision to euthanize was based on Papa’s difficulty breathing and inability to swallow,” said zoo spokesperson Jody Henderson.

“Biopsy results of a mass in the nasal cavity confirmed adenocarci-noma (cancer). Papa’s first sign of illness was nasal discharge noticed on Feb 4, 2014. He was treated with several different antibiotics, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammato-ries with no positive results and we felt his quality of life was not

acceptable anymore. The zoo has rescued numer-

ous exotic animals over the years, including Papa, who was rescued from a private owner back in 2000 in poor body condition. After months of continual care Papa was nursed back to a healthy Eurasian Lynx.

The Greater Vancouver Zoo does not encourage individuals to keep exotic animals such as a lynx for a pet. Lynx are typically skittish, very private and solitary animals, in addition to having specialized needs which the average person is not familiar with.

Papa was approximately 19 years old and the median life expec-tancy for Eurasian Lynx is 15 years.

Eurasian Lynx are listed as “least concern” conservation status by the IUCN (International Union of Conservation of Nature) Red List. They are currently found in 46 countries in Europe, northern Asia and the Middle East. Illegal skin trade remains the leading threat to the species, together with habitat loss and prey base depletion (Gov’t. of US 2007a, IUCN 2007).

“It is always extremely difficult losing a member of our zoo fam-ily. Papa will be missed dearly by those who cared for him and those who connected with him through their visits to the zoo. And a spe-cial thanks to Dr. Burton for always being so compassionate and caring to our family,” said Henderson.

TV stars, Oscar participants, wine, daffodils and tea: what do all these things have in com-mon? You’ll find every one of them – and more – at the 86th Annual Bradner Flower Show.

Organizers are planning another great event and they’d like you to join them. The fun starts on Friday, April 11 when Bradner welcomes Ciscoe Morris as guest of hon-our to open the show at 2 p.m. Ciscoe is the gardening expert for KING 5 TV in Seattle, and appears weekly on Gardening With Ciscoe and New Day Northwest. He also has a radio show on KIRO FM and is a gar-dening columnist for the Seattle Times. He holds a Masters Degree from Seattle University and his incredible knowledge about all things gardening and great sense of humor make him interesting, fun and very recog-nizable.

The Bradner Flower Show theme this year is Tea Time in Bradner, and they’d like you to join them for a tea party you will never forget. Saturday will

see the return of chef Adrian Beaty of Seasonal 56 and chef Mark Hills who specializes in exotic fare (Mark has appeared many times on Global TV) and demos from Lotusland Vineyards as well as Campbell’s Gold.

On Sunday the fun and edu-cation continues with Bert the Moleman, Jeremy Pitchford of Glen Valley Organic Farm speaking about growing organi-cally and Tim Garofano of Say It With Cake. There will be

lots of musical entertainment throughout the weekend, crafts, artists, artisans such as Jasmine Marjanovic who recently returned from another trip to the Oscars with her products, loads of unusual varieties of plants, and of course the big stars of the show, hundreds of varieties of daffodils.

As always, Bradner offers you delectable homemade goodies from our Tea Room, along with tasty and nutritious soups and sandwiches prepared in the kitchen and served at very reasonable prices.

The Bradner Flower Show runs from Friday, April 11 through Sunday, April 13, daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Bradner Hall and Bradner School, 5305 Bradner Road in West Abbotsford. Admission is just $2.

Proceeds from cut flower sales will benefit Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre.

Organizers hope you are as excited about this show as they are. As Ciscoe Morris is famous for saying: “Ooh! La! La!”

A ‘garden’ tea party you will never forget!

The new Live Langley civic party has selected its candidates for the November municipal election, but is not willing to say who they are just yet.

Party president Clint Lee said there will be at least four Live Langley hopefuls campaigning in the Township race, describing them as strong candidates who believe that development in the Township needs to be better managed.

“Something needs to be done,” Lee told The Times on Monday.

Lee hasn’t yet decided if he will run himself.

“My primary concern is build-ing the party and finding great can-didates,” Lee said.

He said Live Langley is not anti-development, but it does object to what he calls an “over-abundance” of big development proposals that don’t respect the existing character of neighbour-hoods like Brookswood, where there was a battle over a proposed plan to increase housing density. Community plan changes were defeated by council Monday night.

“We [Live Langley] do want to see development … but we want sustainable development,” Lee said.

During a recent appearance at the second night of the marathon public hearing on the Brookswood plan, Lee drew appreciative laugh-ter when he spoke by referring to Willoughby, the rapidly-growing Township neighbourhood where he lives, as a “cautionary tale.”

Lee described the current coun-cil as a “slate” several times as he spoke, demanding they “listen to the vocal majority” and reject the plan.

“In my previous submission to this very council, I’ve pointed out that a fundamental principle of the Township is to provide a sustain-able community,” Lee said.

“The notion of a sustainable community is peppered through-out Township literature, includ-ing its website. If the Township no longer believes in sustainable com-munities, then may I strongly sug-gest that you rewrite your materials so that we are all on the same page.”

In confirming Live Langley will be field-ing candidates, Lee was careful to say they were not a slate, but a group of “like-minded” people.

In a November letter to The Langley Times, Lee explained the dis-tinction the party is drawing.

“At its core, a slate is a group of representatives who agree to vote together on the same issues,” Lee wrote.

“In our opinion, a quick review of voting patterns over the past years reveals, especially on contro-versial matters, an existing slate on Township council.

“A political party, on the other hand, is a group of representatives who espouse a common ideology or vision,” Lee went on.

“They may disagree on particu-lars.”

Two of the founding mem-bers of Live Langley have left in recent months; vice-president Brad Richert and secretary/treasurer, Carey Poitras.

The new vice-president is Kerri Ross, a Willoughby resident.

Lee said an announcement of a

new secretary/treasurer is pending.Live Langley earlier announced

it will not accept contributions from corporations, unions and other societies, and will limit the amount that individuals can donate to the party and individual candi-dates.

The party constitution states that “no contributions will be accepted from corporations, unions or other registered B.C. societies.

Maximums from indi-viduals will be limited to $750 per calendar year.”

All contributions are to be made public, and addresses and contact information will not be disclosed.”

Although there are strict donation lim-its in federal election campaigns, under exist-ing laws, there are no

restrictions that limit the amount or who may contribute to munici-pal campaigns.

The provincial government recently announced a new Local Elections Campaign Financing Act and Local Elections Statutes Amendment Act that would tighten spending rules in municipal elec-tion.

If passed, the new laws will require third-party advertisers to register with Elections BC, identify donors who contribute more than $50 and require all election adver-tising to name the sponsor.

Mayors and councils would be elected to longer terms; four instead of three years.

The issue of spending limits won’t be addressed until 2018.

Aldergrove Festival Days Society is focusing on two major events this year and they will fea-ture some new attractions for the 102nd year of the fair tradition in Aldergrove.

The two events are the Aldergrove Fair Days ‘Tractorfest’ to be held on July 18-19-20, 2014, and the Aldergrove Christmas ‘Light Up’ Parade which is always held on the evening of the second Saturday in December.

The FireFit Festival has been cancelled for this year in Aldergrove and the Aldergrove Festival Days Parade will be moved back to the Saturday of the Aldergrove Fair Days, July 19.

On July 18-19-20, Aldergrove Festival Days Society and Aldergrove Agricultural Association jointly host the Aldergrove Fair on the grounds of the Aldergrove Athletic Park and Aldergrove Secondary School (26770 - 29 Ave.).

Aldergrove Festival Days President Karen Long said, “As this year’s theme is ‘Tractorfest’ we are hoping to provide our attendees at the Fair with a ‘Rainbow of Tractors’ to see and learn about. If you have a busi-ness that deals with tractors and farm machinery and you would like to ‘show off your stuff ’ we

can offer you a space for your machinery, where you are wel-come to display your signage and have someone attend to answer questions and provide educa-tional material. And if you would like to make a donation for this opportunity, it would be greatly appreciated.”

The Fair starts at 6 p.m., Friday, with a Car Show’n Shine, food, music and more activities.

On the Saturday and Sunday there will be fun for the entire family with entertain-ment, rides, food, and great things to see and buy throughout each day.

The Aldergrove Fair Days Parade returns on the Saturday at 10 a.m. The public is invited to register floats or other entries in the 2014 TractorFest Parade.

Saturday’s opening ceremo-nies also include the presentation of the Hilda Reddick Volunteer of the Year Award and the Bev Gold Youth Volunteer Award. Long says they are now inviting nominations for the awards and the public can send their sugges-tions to the society via email to: [email protected]

There is nothing that truly says “Country Fair” better than rows of prize exhibits of sewing,

gardening and other crafts that demonstrate the skill, the enthu-siasm and the country pride of the exhibitors.

The 17 page Aldergrove Fair Exhibits Entry Book lists all the sections and categories adults, youths and preschoolers may enter and offers a sneak peek at some great events offered in 2014. It is available at: http://www.aldergrovefairdays.com/agricultural_fair_book_entry_forms.html

“We are working on some new events this year,” said Long.

“We will have a Garden Tractor Pull alongside the Antique Tractor Pull, and the Fraser Valley Antique Farm Machinery society will be demonstrat-ing threshing on both days of the Fair.

“We are also add-ing Zucchini Races — Mike Robinson is building a track and fairgoers will decorate their zuc-chinis and put wheels on them for races down the track,” said Long.

Look for the schedule of events published on the week of the Fair in The Aldergrove Star, so you can take in the Agricultural Exhibits, Antique Tractor Pull, Extreme Lawnmower Races, World Fast

Draw Championship and Air Pistol demonstrations, Chili Cook-off Contest, Hay Rides, Kids Zone, Reptile Guy, the Westcoast Amusements carnival rides, and on Sunday only, the Cowboy Church and Pet Parade among other entertainment and activities.

Admission to the Fair is by donation.

Vendors, sponsors and volun-teers are always welcomed.

“Volunteers are the magic ingredient in any organization. The most help is needed close to and during the Fair, from July 17 to 20. Your help at any time is wonderful,” said Long.

“Contact the Fair at: [email protected] to work out how your schedule could fit with ours.”

The Christmas ‘Light up’ Parade will be held Saturday, Dec. 13, at 6 p.m. This parade route runs along the Fraser Highway through downtown Aldergrove. There is also carol singing and free hot chocolate. The Walter Levy trophy will also be presented to the home Christmas decorating contest winners.

For information see: www.aldergrovefairdays.com/.

If you have any questions, or require any further information, please send an email to: [email protected] or call Karen Long at 604-418-9507.

Business as usual for local Sears Home Services Company

For an appointment please call our office

Chilliwack 604.792.0900

Despite Sears Cana-da’s recent news about Sears Canada and the home services divi-sion, it’s business as usual at the local Sears Carpet Upholstery, Air Duct Cleaning & HVAC Services. “The company continues to carry on business under the Sears brand name, stated owner operators Gary and Lauri Yar-row. Customers have been calling our office concerned that we may no longer be in busi-ness after watching the recent news regarding issues some customers are having with ‘other’ Sears Home Services”, stated owner-operators Gary and Lauri Yarrow.

After 20 years of providing High Qual-ity Carpet Upholstery, Air Duct Cleaning & HVAC Services for our customers under the SEARS HOME SER-

VICES Brand, we were informed that in March of last year SEARS CANADA INC entered into a deal to sell this branch of their opera-tions to SHS Services Management Inc. To all of our surprise on December 13th 2013, just before Christmas we were informed that SHS had gone into receiver-ship.

The Yarrows said they want to reassure their carpet and duct-clean-ing customers that this has not quality service to our customers’.

“Our business is good! We have a great local client base and we don’t want to lose that” says Gary

“We were told to just keep going with our ser-vices,” Ms. Yarrow said. “We’re still active … I wanted to just clarify that.”

VICTORIA – Have you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet?

By now most driv-ers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport standards so it could be used for border identifi cation with the magnetic swipe strip on the back.

About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibility for our famously “free” medical care.

Th e motor vehicle offi ce started issuing them about a year ago, as fi ve-year licences expire. Th ey replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the population of B.C., as people held onto their access to our defenseless, overworked medical sys-tem from wherever they moved to.

Positive identifi cation is only the start for this card. Each will be assigned a password that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an ER, their eligibility is confi rmed and any previous conditions or medications are accu-rately matched. (Note that medical information is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.)

Patients will be able to call up their own fi les at home, book medical

appointments and even renew prescriptions, which is where the effi -ciency comes in. In-person visits for routine prescrip-tion renewals are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guaranteed bill-ings but oft en litt le or no health benefi t.

Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose government ID. If you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 licence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will start providing online access to a wide range of government services.

Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citizens’ services, says a public consultation has shown most people are comfort-able using a system they already trust for their banking.

By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s population. Application forms con-verted to online access will include student loans, birth, death and marriage certifi cates, voter registra-tion and even criminal record checks.

All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having customers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you.

“You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics offi ce and this

can all be done from plac-es like Telegraph Creek and Horsefl y remotely, that actually saves them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said. “Th ere will be con-version of existing services where you have to go into an offi ce and wait around and fi ll out forms. Th ose will be converted to online services.”

It also means a decline in the number of govern-ment offi ce jobs, and the potential for further out-sourcing of services, as we have seen with Medical Services Plan administra-tion and the back-offi ce functions of BC Hydro.

Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. Th ey don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone. But they will also see their great-grandchildren becoming adept with tablet comput-ers before they can even speak. Seniors will get the hang of it prett y quickly, and their lives will become easier.

Digital wave is just beginning

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s View

By Kelvin McCullochCEO, Buckerfi elds

Last weekend, I decided to look up how much property tax is col-lected in the province of British Columbia. To my amazement, British Columbians paid a total of $7.968 billion dollars last year.

Here are more facts:Th e taxes are paid by everyone

in the province with an address, including small businesses, large businesses, manufacturers, utilities, and of course, residential property owners and apartment dwellers. Th e average property tax rate for B.C. businesses is 5.5 times higher than the tax rate for residential taxpay-ers – because business is expected to pay its share. Property taxes pay for schools, hospitals, and services pro-vided by local government, with an emphasis on waste management and recycling.

On top of this, MMBC is trying to collect another $84 million from the remaining handful of businesses, including Buckerfi elds, that weren’t lucky enough get the B.C. Chamber of Commerce/B.C. Government’s latest exemption. While MMBC’s target represents 1.2 per cent of all of property taxes collected last year, we the unlucky, comprise less than two one-hundredths of one percent of taxpayers. Anyone know how we are supposed to come up with that much money? Frankly, if the pro-vincial government knew what it was doing, they would realize it’s not even possible. But they don’t, do they?

Enough complaining. Here is my proposal to fi x all this.

First, let’s quickly recognize that economically viable recycling is inevitable because of the growth in global consumerism. As China’s 1.363 billion people discover and embrace North American style consumerism, China will buy every scrap of recycled paper, plastic, metal, wood and everything else that British Columbians throw away to supply the country’s manufactur-ing processes. India falls into this category. All B.C. has to do is stand by and watch while normal market forces propel recycling forward. In the not too distant future, global demand for our garbage will eat up everything we throw out and more, recycled or not. And the people who have custody of this resource will be making a lot of money.

In the face of this, if the provin-cial government really wants to look good instead of just fl ogging some-body else’s failed concepts and pan-dering to people with bad att itudes towards B.C. business, here is a proj-ect that all British Columbians can be proud of.

First, the province of British Columbia creates a 1% environmen-tal surcharge on property taxes to be paid by everyone, businesses and consumers alike. Don’t everybody jump too quickly. Th at would cost me personally about $20 a year and

I would be proud to pay it. It would cost my company about $300 a year and we would be proud to pay it. By spreading the load evenly over the entire tax base, the surcharge would produce about $80 million a year, almost the exact same amount that MMBC is trying to gouge out, and it would be virtually unnoticeable to any single taxpayer.

Th e legislation creating the sur-charge would have a fi ve year sunset clause so that at the end of fi ve years, the surcharge would end. Why? If we can’t get the job done by spend-ing a total of $400 million over fi ve years, then we shouldn’t be att empt-ing this program at all.

Th e monies would go straight into the Consolidated Revenues fund of the province and would fall under the jurisdiction of the Offi ce of the Auditor General, that is, full legislative and public oversight. We would be absolutely assured that the money wasn’t going sideways, unlike the situation with MMBC.

A second bit of legislation would create a Regional Recycling Authority to distribute the monies to local governments. Th e author-ity would accept or deny local gov-ernment applications for funding. Municipalities would have to com-pete for the funds. Only the best and most essential recycling projects would be funded. Unlike the situa-tion with MMBC where one person is going around handing out money whether it is needed or not, the expenditures would be optimized in plain sight of taxpayers. Unlike the MMBC situation where three people with dubious corporate con-nections mysteriously showed up from Ontario to form the agency, the directors of the BC Recycling Authority would be British Columbians with bona fi de recy-cling, local government and fi nance credentials as well as members of the public. And OK, the Minister of Environment can appoint them, but do it publicly, eh?

Th e new Recycling Authority would also be under the jurisdiction of the provincial Auditor General so we would see independent evalua-tions of the results. No funny stuff , no wasted money, no overspending, no failure to produce the intended outcomes. Or we would know by the end of each year and we would demand that the situation be cor-rected.

Finally, there would be a fi ve year sunset clause on the Recycling Authority itself. By then, the job should be done. If not, the gov-ernment of the day would have to introduce a new Bill into the legis-lature and we would at least have an opportunity to complain or get rid of it in a democratic manner.

At the end of fi ve years, we as a team would have produced recycling systems in B.C. that would rival any-thing worldwide.

And the cost would have been shared fairly.

A ‘modest proposal’ on B.C.’s recycling system


Aldergrove Star

Every day, they give their time, talent, and energy to make the Township of Langley a great place to live and work in. On Thursday, April 3, they were recognized for all that they do, when Township of Langley Council held its annu-al Volunteer Appreciation Event.

Hundreds of community members gathered at the Langley Events Centre as Langley’s dedi-cated volunteers were honoured with dinner, presentations, and entertainment. During the cele-bration, a hard-working individu-al, a high-achieving student, and a committed couple were presented with awards for their outstanding efforts.

The Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award was presented to Karen Long. A long-time resident of Aldergrove, Karen Long is quietly dedicated to making a big differ-ence in her community. In fact, there are very few activities or events that happen in Aldergrove that Karen hasn’t contributed to in some way.

For many years, she has served on the executive of the Aldergrove Festival Days Society and the Aldergrove Agricultural Association, organizing fairs and parades to educate and entertain the community. A member of the Rotary Club of Aldergrove, she exemplifies the motto “Service About Self,” helping the group raise money for a women’s shel-ter, clean up and beautify down-town Aldergrove, raise funds for Langley Centennial Museum student programs, and partner with the Township of Langley Fire Department to install smoke detectors in the Aldergrove Mobile Home Park.

An integral force behind the Aldergrove Christmas Parade, she can be found manning a ket-tle for the Salvation Army dur-ing the holidays. An advocate of Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services’ programs, she is also a huge part of the success of our local Walk for Memories, which has raised almost $100,000 for the Alzheimer Society.

Karen is also a long-time member of the Aldergrove Legion who serves as chair of the branch’s internal auditing com-mittee. She helps secure dona-tions for community dinners for families at Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas, participates in an annual Terry Fox barbecue fun-draiser, and works with Rotary to provide food and gifts for Aldergrove families that are strug-gling at Christmastime.

The Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award is presented annually to recognize contributions that volunteers make to the commu-nity. It honours an individual’s outstanding dedication to the promotion of quality of life through creative, cultural, physi-cal, or social pursuits, and to the enhancement of the Township of Langley’s community spirit.

Eric Flowerdew was a school trustee, municipal councillor, and member of the Langley Hospital Board. As Parks and Recreation Commissioner, he was instru-mental in establishing the initial

Parks and Recreation budget and in hiring Pete Swensson as the Township’s first Recreation Director. His commitment to vol-unteerism was unfailing, and in 1974 the Flowerdew family hon-oured his name with the award.

Nominees for the 2013 Eric Flowerdew Volunteer Award were Karen Long, Jim McGregor, Steve Trummler and Cheryl Young.

The Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award was presented to Hannah Beaton.

An accomplished track and field athlete, Hannah can usually be found in her running shoes – or supplying them to those in need. A Grade 12 student at Langley Fundamental Middle and Secondary School, Hannah created the “Step In Someone Else’s Shoes” program three years ago to provide inner city schools with footwear. A mem-ber of Student Council and a youth leader, she also established Family Sports Night to promote play and strengthen family ties.

An athlete who shines in soc-cer, volleyball, and track and field, she holds a record with the Langley Mustangs for youth shot put, was named fifth in Canada for heptathlon and fourth for jav-elin, and holds several track and field records at her high school. Hannah has made the Langley Mustangs Top 10 in five events and was the recipient of the club’s Spirit Award, and was named Langley Fundamental’s Track and Field MVP from 2008 to 2013.

A Leadership and Principal’s Award-winner for outstanding effort and work habits, Hannah has earned an “A” Honor Roll award each term. A youth leader at her church and a Recreation Leader with the Township of Langley, she has just returned from a humanitarian trip to Nicaragua with her Global Education Class.

Hannah has won an athletic scholarship to Trinity Western University where she will be a member of the Track and Field Team and pursue a degree in nursing.

The Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award is given to a Langley stu-dent in Grade 11 or 12, from one of the area’s secondary schools, in recognition of his or her ath-

letic, scholastic, and community efforts. Personal qualities such as leadership, work ethic, and initia-tive play a major role in the evalu-ation process.

Pete Swensson was an inter-nationally recognized athlete and photographer, and an outstanding member of the Langley commu-nity. The Township of Langley’s first Recreation Director, he was the originator of the Langley Walk. Swensson was committed to the overall development of youth, and this award is named in his honour.

Nominees for the 2014 Pete Swensson Outstanding Community Youth Award were Georgie Antle of D.W. Poppy Secondary School, Hannah Beaton of Langley Fundamental Middle and Secondary School, Aidan Kits of Langley Christian School, Julianna Matson of Walnut Grove Secondary School, Brian Portner of R.E. Mountain Secondary School, Michael Pratt of Brookswood Secondary School, Devon Stam of Credo Christian High School and Amy Whitton of Aldergrove Community Secondary School.

The John and Muriel Arnason Award was presented to Cheryl MacIntosh and Glenn Howes.

On the water and on dry land, this Glen Valley couple makes incredible contributions to ensure that North Langley is a better and healthier place to live.

For 12 years, the pair has been dedicated to the Fort Langley Canoe Club. Cheryl began as a voyageur paddler then became a leader and coach, encourag-ing the group to try dragon boat paddling. Interest grew and with Cheryl chairing the Board since 2009, the Club grew to more than 500 members. That meant more boats, docks, and storage space was needed. Glenn became the key person for getting the docks upgraded, leading working groups through planning, design, and physical labour.

The couple also lends their leadership qualities to local envi-ronmental groups. A true team, Glenn is the chair of the Glen Valley Watershed Society and Cheryl was the Treasurer. Cheryl has also been secretary, treasurer, and chair of the Derby Reach/Brae Island Parks Association. Glenn is one of the Association’s

most diligent members and turns out in all kinds of weather to pull weeds and conduct tours as part of the Association’s goal to pro-mote conservation and educa-tion.

Beyond running many meet-ings, the pair has opened up their home for work parties and lunch-es for events such as the annual Bird Count. They participate in Rivers Week, the Cranberry Festival, and the annual Brigade Days journey and arrival at the Fort Langley National Historic Site. Glenn and Cheryl help pro-tect the environment by doing everything from planting trees and sampling and analyzing stream water to talking to neigh-bours about issues, and keep many kilometres of Glen Valley roads clean and collect numer-ous bags of garbage through the Township’s Adopt-A-Street pro-gram.

The John and Muriel Arnason Award honours two people who are advocates of literacy, culture, and learning, and work together as a team to make the Township of Langley a better place.

The award was created in memory of Muriel Arnason, the first woman to be elected to Township Council, and her husband, John. Muriel, who was made Freewoman of the Township in 2006, served on Council for 26 years, and was fully supported by her husband in her political pursuits, as well as in her initiatives to foster the arts, education, and literacy.

Nominees for the 2013 John and Muriel Arnason Award were Cheryl MacIntosh and Glenn Howes, Michael Jackstien and Jamey Paterson and Jordan and Shelly Welch.

“We are really fortunate in this community to have so many peo-ple willing to volunteer their time to make life better for others,” said Township of Langley Mayor Jack Froese. “This event is a won-derful opportunity to thank those who give so much to Langley. Our community wouldn’t be the same without them.”

Froese presented the awards along with co-emcee Meghan Cheung, a Grade 12 honour stu-dent from Brookswood Senior Secondary who has been a mem-ber of Langley Township’s Youth Advisory Council since 2011.

Mental Illness and Substance Abuse Information SessionThe Community and Transportation Safety Advisory Committee is hosting an evening of information regarding mental illness and substance abuse.

He has worked in the fi eld of community-based support for people with developmental challenges and mental health needs for more than 30 years.

While car thefts may be down in Langley, thieves are still busy breaking into vehicles to steal what’s inside.

Vehicles parked at Campbell Valley Park has been a consistent target for thieves, said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks.

In the last week alone, 37 vehicles were broken into in Langley. The week prior to that it was around 50. Another area hit hard is Walnut Grove, followed by Langley City, she said.

These thefts are not limited to the dark hours of the night so it’s best to be vigilant all the time, said Marks.

“Please do everything you can to save yourself the time, money and inconvenience of theft from your vehicle. Just by parking in your driveway, you cut your chances of having your vehicle broken into by half. Really — you don’t want to give it away,” said Marks, adding that leaving loose change in a vehicle can be costly.

Leaving money in the console

can cost you in time and money, to repair damage to your vehicle caused during a theft, she adds.

Police offer these tips:

close behind you

street outside your residence, consider taking your garage door opener with you

an immobilizer if your car has one

including your keys

empty shopping bags

you will only be away from your vehicle for a minute

Sumas Elementary.The city can hold a business licence appli

cation for 90 days if it is in conflict with bylaws that are in preparation. The application will be held while the city waits for direction from the ministry.

The Agricultural Land Commission has previously stated that medical marijuana production is a permitted farm use and representatives from the BC Agriculture Council have also said that the legal growing of marijuana should be an option available to farmers.

A report from city staff said their recent inquiries with ministry representatives “have indicated that the minister has not rendered a decision on whether or not an approval of the amending bylaw is forthcoming.”

Medical marijuana users across the country won a reprieve last month, allowing them to keep growing pot at home after a federal court judge granted a temporary injunction, pending the outcome of a constitutional challenge that is still to be heard.

The federal government has announced its plans to appeal the decision.

An Abbotsford animal health lab has received international accreditation rec-ognizing the facility’s excellence in vet-erinary diagnostic testing.

The Animal Health Centre (AHC) – located in the Abbotsford Agriculture Centre on Angus Campbell Road – was given a five-year certification from the American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians, one of only three labs in Canada.

The AHC handles about 5,000 case

submissions annually, and diagnoses, monitors and assists in controlling and preventing animal diseases in B.C., including bovine spongiform encepha-lopathy (BSE), avian influenza, West Nile virus and porcine epidemic diar-rhea (PED).

The centre also provides fee-for-service diagnostic testing to the live-stock and veterinary industries includ-ing pathology, bacteriology, serology, molecular diagnostics and virology in animals, poultry and fish.

The power to stop the cycle of bullying is in the hands of those who know firsthand how damaging it can be, one anti-bullying advo-cate told a group of Langley chil-dren gathered at Langley Christian Middle and High School recently.

“You guys are the ones who are going to make the world a better place,” said Carol Todd.

Todd has been advocating for an end to bullying since her daugh-ter, Amanda, took her own life in October 2012, after posting a video online explaining how she suffered at the hands of bullies.

“You guys, as kids, are going to grow up to be the next set of adults,” said Todd. “We want to make sure that your kids and you – when you’re in your teenage (years) and your adulthood – that the world is a safer place for you.”

Todd spoke to a group of atten-tive Langley children at the free Kidz ‘n Power Bullying Prevention seminar, the third bullying preven-tion session put on by Rahn’s Black Belt Academy in Langley. The pro-gram looks to empower kids with

the courage and confidence to recognize and protect themselves against bullying.

Wearing a hockey jersey embla-zoned with her daughter’s birth-date, Todd told the audience that one of the best ways to combat bul-lying is by focusing on spreading kindness and positivity.

“We don’t want to give bul-lies the attention that they want, because it’s negative attention. We want to give the attention to people who are doing random acts of kind-ness or intentional acts of kind-ness,” she said.

“It’s things like that that make the world a kinder place.”

Todd passed out pink bracelets with Amanda’s name and the words “stay strong” printed beside a small snowflake.

“Snowflakes aren’t alike, and they’re really delicate and they’re fragile,” Todd told the audience. “When you think about everybody that’s on this world, we’re all fragile, we’re all our own person.”

“There’s really nobody like you in the whole wide world,” explained Todd, encouraging kids to be strong and own their individuality.

She also encouraged kids to stand up for themselves and others who are being bullied, recogniz-ing when someone is treating them badly and removing themselves from that situation while confiding in a trusted adult.

“We have to stay strong, we have to stand up and we have to be heard,” Todd said.

‘Spread kindness and positivity,’ urges mother of Amanda Todd
