The courtroom was packedwith friends of both theaccused and the victim in adangerous driving trial.by Matthew [email protected]

The trial of the man who randown a 21-year-old in SouthLangley three years ago gotcloser to completion Friday as thedefense made its final arguments.Lawyer Vince Michaels said

his client, Brent Donald Parent,acknowledged that he did somefoolish and childish things on themorning of March 13, 2008.But Michaels spent most of the

day picking apart the testimonyof two of Silas OBriens friends,who were there when OBrienwas killed by a large pickuptruck.Without a crystal ball, we

are left to sort through differingaccounts of the same events,Michaels said near the start of hisfinal arguments.At issue are the testimony of

Sam Dooley and Luke Stephen,OBriens friends, versus the testi-

mony of Parent and his brotherLloyd Teneycke, who was in thepassenger seat of Parents truck.The basic facts are not in dis-

pute. Dooley was driving west on16th Avenue with OBrien andStephen, with all three youngmen on the way to the airport tocatch an early-morning flight.Dooleys pickup came up

behind Parents F350 pickup.Parent tapped his brakes, andthen slowed down some more.Dooley tried to pass, but Parentsped up, then hit Dooleys truck,which went into the ditch.Parent drove off, while the

three young men climbed out,unharmed.About five minutes later,

Parents truck returned, turnedtowards the three young men,and struck and killed OBrien.Michaels spent much of Friday

reading from transcripts of thetestimony of Dooley, Stephen,Parent, and Teneycke. Michaelsargues that inconsistenciesbetween the accounts of Dooleyand Stephen makes their stor-ies unreliable. He cited points ofdisagreement about when Dooleywas on a cellphone and howfast their truck was moving just

before the crash.In addition, Michaels has tried

to show that the three young menwere angry after they crashed.Passersby who stopped to offerhelp said Dooley was swear-ing about the incident. Parentand Teneycke claim they fearedthat the men were running toattack their largetruck when theyreturned to thescene, so theysimply drove off.Michaels also

brought up a pieceof Stephens testi-mony he spent agreat deal of timeon earlier in thetrial, about the angle of Parentstruck. Stephens said because ofthe angle of the truck, it washarder to OBrien to get out ofthe way than for the other twoyoung men.However, the judge broke in to

note that he could visualize whatStephen was talking about.The defense lawyer told the

judge his clients testimony iscredible, but not that of OBriensfriends.Both Dooley and Stephen

are clearly minimizing Dooleysresponsibility and heaping theblame on Parent, Michaels said.The Crown was expected to

present its final argument startingin the afternoon, but the lengthof the defenses arguments haspushed that back to another day.Crown prosecutor Donna Ballyk

has suggested thatParents actionswere motivatedby anger, and thathe deliberatelysideswiped theother truck offthe road. She alsoquestioned whyhe would anglehis truck and keep

driving forward when he returnedto the accident scene.Parent pleaded not guilty to five

charges, including criminal neg-ligence causing death, dangerousdriving causing death, two countsof failing to stop at the sceneof an accident, and dangerousoperation of a motor vehicle. OnFriday, Ballyk said the Crown hasessentially dropped one of thefailing to stop charges, admittingthey have not proved that Parentknew he hit OBrien.

The man shot bypolice last year wasarmed with a knife andhatchet, the RCMP say.

by Matthew [email protected]

Langley RCMP say thatAlvin Wright was bran-dishing a knife when hewas shot last year by an18-year veteran officer.Wright, whose family

are suing the RCMP overhis death, was living inLangley City on 203rdStreet, when three officersresponded to a domesticdisturbance call at hishome in August last year.Our officers attended

to a domestic situationand found Mr. Wright hid-ing in a bedroom closetarmed with a large knifeand a hatchet, said Supt.Derek Cooke, head of theLangley RCMP detach-ment. He was only shotas a last resort after hecame at them brandishingthe knife.None of the officers

involved was removedfrom active duty after theevent, Cooke said.On Wednesday,

the Vancouver PoliceDepartment said theLangley Mountie who fired

the shot had acted cor-rectly, and that no chargeswere warranted.A full coroners inquest

will be held next Marchinto Wrights death.Civil liberties activists

have said that there is notenough oversight into theshooting because the com-munity uses the RCMP.The BCCLA on Thursday

said that the investigationinto Wrights shooting

would have been handleddifferently by a civic policeforce.If Mr. Wright had

been shot and killed inVancouver, any crim-inal investigation ofpolice that recommendedno charges would bereviewed by the Officeof the Police ComplaintsCommissioner, saidRobert Holmes, presidentof the BCCLA.

local RCMP Drug Section, the Street Enforcement Unit,and Community Policing working together, said Const.Craig Van Herk.Those arrested range in age from 15 to 50 years old.Three have seen charges already laid. Scott MacLellan,

a 25-year-old Langley man, faces a count of trafficking,three counts of possession, and four gun related charges.Matthew Gibson, 22, of Maple Ridge, has been charged

with drug trafficking and two counts of possession.Edward Olsson, a 50-year-old from Langley, has been

Candidates for school trusteefor Langley Township chose thefollowing questions for expandedanswers (see page A3):6. Should low-enrolment

schools be closed?John McKendry

No. Firstdefine lowenrollment. Ifthe school isseverely under-enrolled, say,

30% or approaching 50%of the design capacity,the District should opena dialogue with the com-munity and clearly indicatethe issue, the onset of theenrollment decline, and thepotential alternatives priorto the ultimate decisionbeing taken. The impact onother schools in the arearequires consideration.The students/parents whowill be affected need to beincluded. Effective schoolplanning allows early iden-tification of emerging enroll-ment issues.

Alison McVeigh

No Lowenrollmentalone is notsufficient justifi-cation for clos-ing a school.

Improving and enhancingthe educational opportun-ities of the students in theschool must be the first con-sideration. If the students

educational experience canbe enhanced, if they can becomfortably accommodatedin a neighbouring school,and if the enrollment is lowenough that there are posi-tive budget implications forall Langley students and thewhole school district, onlythen should a school beconsidered for closure.

Kari Medos

No. Closureof a school can-not be based onlow enrolmentalone. However,if a school is

unable to meet their stu-dents needs; if the studentscan be incorporated into anearby school; if remainingopen is financially detri-mental to the balance ofother schools in our districtand exhaustive researchshows it is best interest ofthe students educations fortheir school to close, thenI would support closure.A students best educationmust always be the numberone priority, not the build-ing they are receiving it in.

13. Is the school districthandling its debt problemsappropriately?

Kirsten Schaffer-Charlesworth

No. LangleySchool Districtneeds to imple-ment all ofthe Auditor

Generals recommendationsto handle the debt problemappropriately. We need tohave better communication,long term plans and regularupdates from senior man-agement to mitigate futurefinancial loss and protectprograms and services.

Wendy Johnson

Yes. TheBoard hasadopteda DeficitElimination Planand is commit-

ted to repaying the debton time. The Board is alsoworking toward implement-ing the Auditor Generalsrecommendations regardingfinancial management andinternal controls.This debt was caused

by the inattention of theprevious Board, poor inter-nal controls and outdatedgovernance practices. Weneed to do everything pos-sible to ensure that it doesnot happen again.

Cecelia Reekie

No. The boardis moving in theright direction,and some ofthe work is on-going. I would

like to see all of the AuditorGenerals recommendationsimplemented more quickly.

17. Should the DistrictParent Advisory Councilhave more influence on

school district affairs?Megan Dykeman

Yes. AlthoughI appreciatethe reasonthat questions13 to 16 havebeen included,

I believe that interest inrelativities of influence andpower of various stakehold-ers in the district is a symp-tom of the divisiveness thathas come to characterizewhat should be a collabora-tive exercise in developingand delivering the best edu-cation possible to the chil-dren in Langley.As an elected body, the

board has an obligation toencourage the electorate,taxpayers and all stakehold-ers groups to bring forwardtheir concerns. The boardhas a responsibility to listento those concerns.The board should be

influenced by anyone whocan contribute to improvingeducation in the Langleydistrict. No one stakeholderor faction of stakeholdersshould have more influencethan any other. It shouldnot be a contest to see whocan garner the most influ-ence with the board butrather a cohesive effort.

expanded answers.Full responses to all the

Candidates for school trusteefor Langley City all chosethe following question for anexpanded answer (see page A3):6. Should low-enrolment

schools be closed?Rob McFarlane

Low enrol-ment alone isnot sufficientreason forschool closure.Educational and

financial issues must beconsidered. Educationally,students attending a schoolclose to home are far morelikely to join extra curricularactivities, increasing theirconnection to schoolingand enhancing the learningexperience. This commit-

ment is especially importantas students face some of thedifficult challenges of child-hood and adolescence.The major argument for

closure tends to be financial.Before considering anotherschool closure I would liketo see an accounting of theactual savings from pastclosures.

Stacey Cody

Yes But itdepends on thecapacity for thatschool. Also, itis important tofactor in sev-

eral other things such as,supports for students. If aschool is so under enrolledthat the students are notreceiving the same supportsand access to programs

that other students in theDistrict are receiving. Weneed to always look atthe bigger picture is thatunder enrolled school drain-ing resources from otherschools?

Candy Ashdown

Not necessar-ily. Enrolmentis only one ofmany factors toconsider beforea school should

be looked at for closure. Ibelieve children should havea right to attend their neigh-bourhood schools and if atall possible neighbourhoodschools should be sustained.

A pickup truck hit a deer on theTransCanada Highway Monday morning,slowing the morning commute for manyAldergrove and Abbotsford residents.The crash happened just west of the 264th

Street interchange in the westbound lanes.According to the Port Mann Traffic Services,the Mounties who deal with that stretch ofroad, the crash took place at about 5:20 a.m.No other vehicles were involved. The people

in the truck only suffered minor injuries asthe airbags deployed.It took some time to clear away the

Our View

All candidatescan win byvolunteering

At the end of next week, Langley Cityvoters will elect two people and LangleyTownship will elect five to sit as trustees forLangley School District.

The rest of the candidates who are apply-ing for those jobs will find themselves onthe outside looking in unless they chooseotherwise.

By Nov. 19, election day, all 14 City andTownship candidates will have spent morethan a month talking about the importanceof education and their ability to improve thelot of the school districts students.

They will have committed to attendingregular meetings and setting aside large por-tions of their lives in the name of education.

And yet, on the morning of Nov. 20, oneCity candidate and six in the Township willsuddenly find themselves with time on theirhands time they could still spend puttingtheir drive and passion for local education togood use.

Every school has a PAC a ParentAdvisory Council that can use all the eagerinterest that anyone running for a job likeschool trustee could contribute. Likewise,there are School Planning Councils that canbenefit from volunteers who have a passionfor education precisely the kind of passionthat a trustee candidate must have.

Many schools have associated literacygroups that would be appreciative of vol-unteer contributions towards their efforts.And there ways to contribute through organ-izations like Big Brothers and Big Sisters,Volunteer Grandparents, or others that helpchildren through some of the rougher spotson their road to adulthood.

Anyone who is candidate for school trust-ee must believe in the importance of educa-tion to ensure a strong future for childrenand adults alike.

Dont stop believing on Nov. 19. Thatway, nobody loses.

I guess what makes Remembrance Day hard-est for me is that Ive never been there.I can remember times when Ive slogged

through mud, kind of like the mud you readabout in stories soldiers in the First World Wartrenches.But not quite like that mud.At worst, I recall struggling with waste-deep

mud as a youngster, trying to free cows orcalves that had slipped into ditches.Or maybe that horrendous mud

we encountered halfway throughour trek on the West Coast Trail.But Im sure that dragging a

cow out of a mud-hole, evenwhen the attempt to save its lifehas been unsuccessful, doesntreally compare to trying to keepa wounded comrades headabove the slime in a fresh shell crater.And the mud of the West Blood Trail is just

made with water not blood.And there were never any bullets.Ive flown. I even flew in a replica of a

Second World War fighter but it was just areplica. Neither I nor the pilot were trying toshoot anyone out of the air or worried aboutgetting shot.Its hard to imagine what the fighters of the

great wars went through especially con-sidering that they were often little more thanteenagers (and some were!). All we have arestories, the odd song, and an occasional poemthat strikes an emotional chord and maybe just maybe gives us just an inkling of whatit may have been like.As Donna was researching her own familys

history, she ran into information about a cous-in (once removed, whatever that means) whohad penned a poem at the very dawn of theSecond World War.

Wesley Roy Ellis was a member of theManchester Fire Brigade in England. His poemcaptures the moment at the fire hall whenall stopped to hear the prime minister radiobroadcast announcing that talks with Germanyhad broken down, and the country was nowat war.The speech was cousin to the one presented

the same day by King George VI, which hassince been featured in the excellent film, TheKings Speech.This was before the fighting and the blood.But the dread and disappointment

The BroadcastIn silent groups we waited there,That morning in September.Each face around, each vacant stare, I always will remember.

The premiers voice was firm but low,It came to us oer the air.To him it was a bitter blow that he had warto declare.For years we strove for peace, he said,Not one path was neglected.We offered friendship, but instead, ourefforts were rejected.

It is our duty now to fightAgainst this evil thing,And pray that God will defend the right, and victory to us

bring.Now! may God bless you, everyone.These were the last words spoken,And then his awful task was done: but the silence wasnt

broken.In groups we sat, but no one spokeTheir thoughts, their hopes or fears;Some lit a cigarette, to smoke, perhaps to hide a tear.And then a voice said, Stations, please,Our system to prepare.We hadnt time to get on our knees, but on every lip was a

prayer.We turned again, our work to start I know that every memberSilently vowed to do their part, that morning in September.

Wesley Roy Ellis, Manchester Fire Brigade

Dear Editor,Every year we honour those who had the

courage to go and fight for what we or ourgovernments thought we should defend, orstand up for others who couldnt defendthemselves.Canada has a long and honoured history

of doing just that.In Europe, our war dead have been hon-

oured by many nations. As a country, weaided them in their time ofneed, not once but twice.We sent our finest youngmen and women overseas totake part in world conflicts.In Europe the graves of

our fallen, can be seenthough out these countries.My family has a history of going off to

war. My daughter went to Bosnia and morerecently to Afghanistan. My dad went toKorea, and his dad fought in the First WorldWar and was wounded at Vimy Ridge.My daughter looked into the war archives

and discovered that both my grandpa andmy great grandpa joined up to go off towar, for their country and for the King ofEngland. It was common at that time, asmany fathers and sons would sign up toanswer the Kings call to arms.My dad, who turned 78 this year, called

me up and told me that he wanted to comedown and visit his mom and dads gravesand then go to the Field of Honour at Mt.Pleasant in Vancouver to see his granddadsgrave site.I had never met or knew my grandpar-

ents, so I asked if I could go along. Wefound his mom and dads grave, with alittle effort and persistence.Next stop: Mt. Pleasant and the Field

of Honour, to find great granddads placeamong the honoured men and women, whoanswered the call for this nation.At Mt. Pleasant, there was nobody to help

the public, because the cemetery is run bythe City of Vancouver. We would have towait until Monday for help.A woman at the crematorium looked up

the general location and gave us a map.When we started looking at the graves

in this area, I saw extreme disappointmentin what dad saw. The so-called Field ofHonour was in disgraceful condition. Thegrass had been mowed several times andjust left there for how long, who knows?The names on the graves were obscured.I tried brushing the grass off by hand, but

because of the roughness of the stones, Iresorted to using my foot toscuff the grass clippings offthe names on the graves.I really felt bad about it it seemed disrespect-ful to those whose namesappeared under my foot.Meanwhile, my dad was

moving from this grave to that, using asnow shovel to scrape away the dried ongrass.Between the heat of the afternoon, the

condition of the graveyard, and my dadsanger at not being able to find his grand-dads grave, he suggested we just go home.But I wasnt about to do that. I came to

see my great great granddads grave and Iwasnt going to give up now.I took the shovel and told him I would

find the grave while he rested in the cool-ness of the car.I scraped off over 200 graves, before I

found L/corporal J.W. Coltman.Dad was happy to see the grave of his

granddad, and told me of how the gravesin Europe are kept clean and neat at alltimes and how upset he was to see thecondition in which we kept our Field ofHonour.Here in our own country, our fallen have

been so forgotten that no respect is paidto their graves, other than a mowing everyonce and awhile. The graves arent keptclean or well marked so that relatives canfind their long-dead heroes.These men and women deserve more

than this.Lest We Forget the forgotten.

Dear Editor,Here it is election time,

and the unions have onceagain stepped forward withbuckets of money for theirchosen candidates.How different it must be

for those candidates whoare running because, asLangley residents, they careabout Langleys students somuch that they work hardto raise their own funds, putup all their own signs, andrun their own campaigns.I looked back at the

trustees January by-elec-tion expenses and saw that

Cecelia Reekies campaigncost almost $7,000. Withthat much money she wasable to litter all of Langleywith her plethora of signsand pay for her brochures tobe mailed out.In looking at the other

candidates funding, mostcame from their own pock-ets, with Hattie Hogeterpspending $1,200 of her ownmoney and current candi-date Brian Leonard spending$71.01 on his campaign.In 2008, current trust-

ees Wendy Johnson, RobMcFarlane, and Stacey Cody

received union support.In this election running

for Langley School Board,we have Surrey residentDoug Smuland, who is alsothe 1st Vice President ofthe Abbotsfords TeachersAssociation.Well have to wait until

well after the election tolook at each candidatesfinancials. Candidatesshould be asked, prior tothe election, how their cam-paigns are being funded.I have to ask with a

union as strong as theBC Teachers Federation,the Langley TeachersAssociation, and theAbbotsford DistrictTeachers Association, dothey really need to hire theirown trustees, as well?This election, vote for

trustees who are running torepresent students, schoolprograms, and the future ofour district.

City mayor voted for gas taxDear Editor,With municipal elections just around the corner, I would

like to remind my fellow Langley City residents about agreat disservice to us. Our Mayor Peter Fassbender recentlyvoted, without consulting us, to increase both propertytaxes and gas taxes for TransLink funding.That kind of contempt for residents should be a good rea-

son to turf this guy out of office. We deserve a mayor whowill listen to and act in the best interests of us residents,whom he is supposed to represent.

Langford lends Aldergrovea trolley as the communityresearch how to improve localtransportation.

by Heather [email protected]

From the moment they saw it,Aldergrove residents fell.Aldergrove is sick of waiting for

better public transit and a group ofresidents are grabbing the wheel onthis issue.The reality TV show Million Dollar

Neighbourhood is serving as thecatalyst for a community effort to setup a trolley run around Aldergrove.Politicians and community mem-

bers have been asking for transit forseveral years and there has been noappreciable improvements in aboutseven years.Improving transportation was

one of the challenges issued to theapproximately 100 families takingpart in the financial-themed realityTV show which will air in 2012 onthe Oprah Winfrey Network Canada.The trolley plan would see a modi-

fied bus do a circuit around theAldergrove area including GloucesterIndustrial Park.The beauty of it is the door

to door delivery, said AnnetteMcArthur, with the MDNTransportation Initiatives Committee.Thats what makes it so differentfrom transit.The Langford trolley is on its off-

season schedule so the communitysent one over to Aldergrove to checkout.The trolley is being welcomed by

various sectors around Aldergrove.It would help the Greater

Vancouver Zoo.We have tried for more years

than I care to remember to havesome form of transit bring guests toour gates and staff to our jobs, saidJody Henderson, with the zoo andthe Aldergrove Business Association.Construction of new warehouse

and business space continues atGloucester with businesses theresaying they have a hard time fillingjobs due to the lack of transit.There are jobs at Gloucester

Estates and no way to get tothem unless you own a car,said Bruce Heslop, with the MDNTransportation Initiatives Committeeand the Aldergrove BusinessAssociation. The trolley will helppeople get jobs and help businessesget and retain employees. Our down-town businesses will gain shoppers

and our residents in the outlyingareas will have an easier way toshop locally.McArthur used to ride the trol-

ley when she lived in Langford andknows its value. When the realityTV show about financial planningdecided to tackle Aldergroves lackof transportation options, she sug-gested a trolley.McArthur was talking to another

Aldergrove woman about the sug-gestion when she found out her hus-band is the head mechanic for theVancouver Trolley Co. Hes on boardwith the project now.Langfords mayor, whose profes-

sion just happens to be vehicles,has offered to help Aldergrove find

a good quality secondhand trolleywhich would run $25,000-$60,000.(New units are almost double that)The committee would like to raise

about $50,000 in start-up funds andlooking at a spring 2012 start.The MDN Transportation

Initiatives Committee continues tolook into the nuts and bolts of a

trolley service. When not in use ona regular route, the trolley could beused for parades and holiday lighttours or hired for events and spe-cial outings. Langford has a specialromance Christmas dinner outing forcouples, for instance.The committee would need to

secure an indoor space for storageand servicing, and would have tohave written agreements for anyproperty owner that allows it on itssite. Since Aldergrove is not incor-porated, the trolley service wouldhave to be set up as an independ-ent community initiative, such as anon-profit, or as a private enterpriseoperation.The plan is to have an old-fash-

ioned looking trolley with old-fashion looking poles at its variousstops.McArthur noted that Aldergroves

Pioneer Park has 261 units of sen-iors housing and those residentshave never had transit.Langford sells advertising on its

22-passenger and 37-passenger trol-leys. That revenue covers mainten-ance and upkeep. The rigs havebeen converted to biofuel and ridesare by donation. The donationscover the staff costs.Langford started a few years ago

with a 22-seater but soon the busi-ness community said they wantedmore and funded an expansion.Anyone interested in finding

out more or in advertising on anAldergrove trolley can contactMcArthur at 604-626-4505 or Millerat [email protected] or 604-856-0215.

Give a littleA memorial blood donor clinic could be annual.


Each day Langley City firefighters roll up theirsleeves and get to work helping other people.Now they are hoping people in the community will

roll up their sleeves for a special blood donor clinic.City firefighters are hosting a clinic Nov. 17 in

memory of their deceased colleague Ron Dunkley.We want people to be aware of the opportunity to

give back, said Rob Rabby, a firefighter and one ofthe organizers.Firefighters see in the day-to-day work they do the

need for blood donations. About 70 per cent of theLangley City fire calls are for medical first respondersand call volumes have doubled in the past decade.His colleagues held a clinic in honour of Dunkley

last year at Blacklock Elementary and have beenworking with Canada Blood Services to host one atthe City fire hall which has more space.Dunkley was hit by a train in November 2010

while in Washington State and spent just shy of twomonths in intensive care before succumbing to hisinjuries.Colleagues recall Dunkley needed 90 units of blood

in the first two weeks and more after that. It takesabout 140 donors to make up 90 units of blood.Rabby said Dunkley and all firefighters do this kind

of work to help people and donating blood is a simpleway for the general public to make a big difference.Heading into the holidays and all the distractions,

the need for blood increases as inventories of donatedblood get used up faster than new supplies come in.Its common for a person injured in a vehicle crash

to need 50 units and a person undergoing cancertreatment may need up to eight units per week forthe length of the treatment. Someone with a hip frac-ture or having hip replacement can require about fiveunits and organ transplant patients can require from10 to 100 units depending on the organ.Now that weve got it going and if its a success, it

would turn into a yearly event, Rabby noted.For the Ron Dunkley Memorial Blood Donor Clinic

to be considered a success, the spots have to be filledand thats where the community can step forward.The clinic runs 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Nov. 17 at the

firehall, 5785 203rd St. To book one of the 150 donorslots, call 1-888-236-6283.

Remembrance Day

Phone in fundingThe Royal Canadian Legion is giving people ahigh-tech way to help veterans.This year, for the first time in Canada, British

Columbians can use their mobile phones to text dona-tions to the Royal Canadian Legions Poppy Funds.For many years, British Columbians have been proud-

ly wearing their poppies and showing they remember,said Jim Howard of Vancouvers Poppy Fund. This yearweve added a new and easy way for you to give.You simply text the word POPPY to 20222, reply YES

to confirm, and a $5 donation will be added to yourmobile phone bill, explained Howard. We receive 100per cent of the donation.The mobile giving program, made popular by disas-

ter relief efforts in Haiti and Japan, is part of a brandrevitalization project at the Royal Canadian LegionBC/Yukon Command. Poppy donations can be accepteddigitally until Nov. 11.After the donations are received, legion command will

provide a report to all the Legion Branch Poppy Funds.Executive director Inga Kruse said the legion is giving

the brand a facelift that includes the introduction of newtechnology and new, more modern ways for supportersto remember, join, and give.We want people to know were more than a social

club, she said. Any Canadian over the age of 18 canjoin the legion you dont have to be ex-military.The legion in B.C. has 65,000 members, contributes

$6.5 million to community programs each year, andlegion members volunteer over 600,000 hours annually.One of the key programs that benefits from poppy

fundraising is the Veterans Transition Program at theUniversity of British Columbia, where returning veteranscan receive free support, counseling and trauma relief asthey transition home and back to civilian life.

continued from page A1I can see families want-

ing to become involved inthis, she said.Because of the short

Firefighters got to grill theTownships candidates abouttheir concerns on Wednesday.


Questions about staffing andfunding firehalls were lobbed at25 council and mayoral candi-dates during the first debate forLangley Townships civic electionWednesday night.Organized by the local branch of

the IAFF, the union representingTownship firefighters, the debatesaw candidates discuss additionalfire halls, the public safety budget,and medical emergency responses.One of the biggest questions of the

night was whether the Townshipwill fund an increase in crew sizefrom three to four firefighters.Because Worksafe BC regulations

prohibit firefighters from enteringburning buildings in groups smallerthan four, that reduces firefightersability to react quickly, they say.All three mayoral candidates

addressed the question, all in favourof increasing the size of the crews.We have to find the money now

to pay for it, said Councillor Mel

Kositsky. Its not a choice any-more.He said the matter will be a top

priority if hes elected mayor.Jack Froese also favoured increas-

ing the number of responders, sug-gesting that it might be phased inas the Townships population growsand the firefighting budget increases.Incumbent Mayor Rick Green also

said yes, noting that the departmenthas already found some efficienciesin some places, and that will help,but adding that some new hours willlikely have to be funded to increasethe crew size.All three mayoral candidates also

talked about their commitments topublic safety.Green noted that his son-in-law is

a firefighter who has taught him alot about the job.He said firefighters and their chiefs

will have to guide council on majordecisions about where to place newhalls and what equipment and train-ing is necessary.Im sure that whatever is needed

will be provided, Green said.Froese talked about his 19-year

career as a Vancouver police officer,often working alongside firefight-ers, when he was doing accidentinvestigations. He also recalled howinadequate some equipment was

when he started in the 1980s, andhow improved equipment made thejob easier.I will back you up, Froese said.Kositsky said he has worked on

issues of public safety through thecouncil for many years, includingthreats of flooding, with firefightersand other first responders.He said that without budget

increases during the last few years,the Township wouldnt have beenable to increase firefighting capabil-ity, with the move to a full time paidservice.I know who in this room didnt

vote for the increases, Kositskysaid. I voted for the budget, MayorGreen didnt.During another part of the even-

ing, Green said he looked forward toa budget debate.Along with the mayoral candi-

dates, 22 council candidates attend-ed.They answered questions on the

value of public education by fire-fighters, about the need for a newhall to deal with accidents on high-way one, and about amalgamationof the City and Township. Becauseof the large number of candidates,each was only given a few minutesfor an introduction and then got onequestion.

The Nov. 2 forum for Langley City council candidates featured a mock council meeting format with voting.


About 125 people turned out Nov. 2 tohear the views of the people running forLangley City council.The forum was hosted by the Greater

Langley Chamber of Commerce andthe Fraser Valley Real Estate Board atKwantlen Polytechnic University.In a new form, the organizers struc-

tured the forum like a council meeting,calling on candidates to vote yes, no orabstain on various issues put forward bythe organizers or the audience. With eachvote, the names of four candidates weredrawn and they could provide explana-tions of their position on that issue.Candidates had to vote on whether they

would want an advisory committee creat-ed to work on a crime reduction strategy.It passed unanimously.Incumbent councillor Teri James com-

mented on the increased crime and drugproblems in the downtown core.Its probably the worst Ive seen it

probably ever, James said.When asked about refurbishing

McBurney Lane and eliminating parkingspots in favour of green space, incumbentRudy Storteboom said he has heard a lotof opposition from merchants so the Cityhas to have another look.Dave Hall, also currently on council,

said the City is trying to increase greenspace and the project would encourageincreased walking.Candidates were asked about the busi-

ness to residential tax ratio (about 2.2:1in Langley City).No other all candidates meetings are

planned for the City election. There arestill candidate forums for the LangleySchool Board and Township races.
