Aldergrove moves up for new TV series

ALDERGROVE STAR

By KURT LANGMANNAldergrove Star

Aldergrove has moved one step further closer to be the featured town in a new TV series that is proposed for broadcast on the Oprah Win-frey Network Canada later this year.

Force Four Entertainment, a production company based in Vancouver, has been scout-ing the province over recent months, looking for potential communities for a documentary series that would help a town realize personal and community-wide fi nancial goals.

Th e planned series is to be similar in format to Force Four’s hit series, “Town on a Diet,” which was broadcast earlier this year on CBC TV.

A town hall meeting hosted by Force Four and the Aldergrove Business Association (ABA) last month att racted about 200 Aldergrove resi-dents, who expressed interest in participating in the fi lming of the series.

A Facebook page promoting the series and created by the ABA, called “Th e Aldergrove

Project,” has also att racted over 1,200 members.“Th is is very exciting,” said ABA president

Bruce Heslop, who is working with Force Four to put together another town hall meeting in the coming week. It will be held Th ursday, April 28, 7 p.m. at the Kinsmen Community Centre, 26770 - 29 Ave.

Th e next step will be fi lming of a “demo” video of the proposed series, which would then be submitt ed to the Oprah Winfrey Network for approval of the full-fl edged series. Filming of the eight-week long series would then take place over three months this summer.

Force Four development producer Nicole Lawson said, “We’ll be shooting a demo in the coming weeks to prove to the network that Aldergrove is the town for this show. Now is our chance to show how much your town wants and needs this series. You will need to lay ev-erything on the line so the network can see why this series must come to Aldergrove and not to any other town.”

Walk A Mile In Their ShoesWalk A Mile In Their Shoes

Th e lawyer for 24-year-old Albert Jacob Jackman says his client was using a reasonable amount of force to protect himself against an armed man, when he stabbed Aldergrove resi-dent Kyle Barber several times during a strug-gle over a loaded 12-gauge shotgun on March 28, 2009.

Brian Coleman was making his closing arguments in the B.C. Supreme Court trial of Jackman, who is charged with fi rst degree murder in the death of the 24-year-old Barber, who died of blood loss aft er the stabbing.

Jackman’s associate, Gregory Michael Barrett , 32, is on trial with Jackman, but on the lesser charge of manslaughter.

It is not a jury trial, which suits Coleman.“Th is is a case where emotion has to be

kept out of it,” the lawyer told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sunni Stromberg-Stein during his presentation Tuesday morning (April 26) in a New Westminster courtroom.

“Th is case is about the facts.”Th ose facts, according to Coleman, show

that Jackman and Barrett were not armed when they went to visit Barber and his girl-

friend at their Fraser Highway home.Jackman was dressed like a “preppy,”

according to the girlfriend’s testimony, Coleman noted.

“Th ese men did not go there with the intent of harming anyone,” Coleman said.

Th e two men wanted to know if the occu-pants of the house knew anything about a marijuana grow rip nearby at a location con-trolled by Barrett .

While they were talking, they say Barber suddenly ran to his bedroom and tried to grab a 12-gauge shotgun with a pistol grip from under his bed.

Jackman managed to take the shotgun away and left it lying on the fl oor when he took Barber down to the basement, where some marijuana plants were under cultivation.

According to the defence, Jackman punched Barber in the mouth when Barber made an insulting comment about a dead friend of Jackman’s.

Th ey then went back upstairs to the bed-room, where Barber got a safe with some cash.

Th at was when Barber threw or swung a

Egging Him OnEgging Him OnLangley student population drops


In the 2011-2012 school year, the number of students in the Langley School District be two per cent smaller than the year before.

Th ere will be 363 fewer full-time equivalents in the system, which will mean about $1.7 million less from the provincial government.

Th at is bad news for a school district that is al-ready facing a funding crunch.

Th e district will save about $1 million because it will need fewer teachers and support staff for a smaller student population, but that still leaves a loss of around $700,000 that will have to come out of the budget.

Th at’s on top of the $13.5 million the district is required to pay back to the provincial government for running an operating defi cit, and it is one of the reasons why budget cuts will be even deeper than fi rst expected, rising from $3.4 to $4.4 million a year over the four years of required repayments.

It’s the fi rst time Langley student numbers have fallen in fi ve years, but it will not be the last.

Superintendent Cheryle Beaumont says every group of graduates from now on will be smaller than before.

“Th e last of the big grade 12 classes is gone,” she told trustees at the last Tuesday night board meet-ing.

Conventional wisdom has been that an increased number of students generated by new housing in the Willoughby slope area would compensate for the decline everywhere else in Langley, but secre-tary-treasurer David Green has his doubts.

“I think the growth on the slope may not be as great as we thought,” Green warned Tuesday.

Next, trustees will decide exactly where budget cuts must be made.

Options include cuts to elementary remedial reading programs and saving money by refusing to replace clerical staff on their fi rst day off work.

Township council will advise the Agricultural Land Commission that it does not oppose a soil deposit applica-tion that will raise the level of land by an average of one metre over several acres at 25476 and 25578 - 73 Ave.

At the same time, council decided on Monday that if the ALC approves the appli-cation, the Township will closely monitor the project to ensure that the amount of fi ll is not exceeded, drainage on neighbouring properties is not impacted, and that local roads are not damaged.

Furthermore, council asked staff to monitor the quality of fi ll brought into the Bezalel and Caravett a prop-erties. Council unanimously approved the permit on April 18.

Over the past few years, council has been plagued by criticism from residents whose properties lie next to those where tens of thousands of

truck loads of fi ll have been deposited, changing the con-tour of the land and ostensibly making it suitable for farming.

In any given year, the Township receives approxi-mately 75 applications for soil deposit or removal involving a total of about 500,000 cubic metres.

Residents’ concerns range from fl ooding, contamina-tion, obliterating streams and creeks, damaging private wells and public roads.

Th ey also contend that the Township had failed in the past to enforce the soil remov-al bylaw.

On Monday, Paul Caravett a explained why he wants to truck in 14,200 cubic metres of soil to his 73 Avenue prop-erties: He wants to create pas-ture for racehorses.

Caravett a came to Langley from Mission, wanting to live in an area where he would be more welcome, he told coun-cil.

“Th is is my home. Th is is where I plan to stay,” he said,

adding that he plans to leave his property to his grandson, who is only two.

“I’m not doing this for any fi nancial gain,” he told coun-cil. “I’m trying to beautify my property.”

He said that his land will retain the same contours.

Asked by Councillor Kim Richter about ensuring water quality was not disturbed, Caravett a said, “I have to drink out of the same water.”

Neighbour Ross Gill’s main concern was the one metre thickness of fi ll that Caravett a is importing because, he said, the topography does not end at the property line. Gill was also concerned about the potential for toxicity in the soil fi ll, and urged council to impose more stringent monitoring so that the conditions of soil deposit permits are not abused.

Annabel Young told coun-cil that Caravett a has followed due process. Caravett a “has done everything correctly,” she said. “He has done everything according to the book.”

Soil deposit plan approved, subject to ‘strict monitoring’

Several months ago, Langley’s emergency planning co-ordinator Ginger Sherlock began the ground-work for a campaign that would spell out in detail the agencies that exist to help us when we need them.

Now, a month aft er the cata-strophic earthquake and tsunami that devastated vast areas of north-east Japan, the campaign has taken on a greater sense of immediacy and importance.

“I hate to say it, but you learn from other people’s disasters,” Township Mayor Rick Green com-mented at the recent launch of Community Awareness Regarding Emergencies (CARE) campaign at the west end of Langley Regional Airport’s east-west runway.

Th e timing for public aware-ness couldn’t have been bett er. On

May 7, all the agencies that exist to keep the community safe will be at Willowbrook Shopping Centre from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

At booths inside and outside the mall, residents will be able to fi nd out what these agencies are, when and how they are deployed, and where they can fi nd out more infor-mation.

People will be able to see the tools the agency personnel use to perform their jobs, and learn how they are put into action.

One of the most important fea-tures of CARE will be “Langley — Who to Call.” Th ese are reference sheets with a list of agencies and phone numbers which will be given out on May 7.

Th e disaster in Japan may still be uppermost in the minds of many people, but time weakens the memory, as Green explained: “We talk about this when it happens. We

get very upset and we get very con-cerned. And then time goes by and then it’s out of sight, out of mind.

“We have to learn from that,” he said.

Sherlock has been busier than usual since the magnitude 9 earth-quake and tsunami in Japan.

“My phone has not stopped ringing,” she said.

People are asking her speak to seniors, school communities and other groups who want to be pre-pared.

Twenty-two agencies and services will be represented at Willowbrook.

Th ey include RCMP and local fi re departments, bylaw enforce-ment, B.C. Ambulance Service, E-COMM 911, Search and Rescue, transit police, Commercial Vehicle Safety Enforcement, CP and CN Railway police, and the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

Emergencies more top of mind


Langley schools will be closed for six more days and the missing time will be made up by adding a few minutes to remaining school days to compensate for lost instruction time.

Th e money-saving measure was approved by trustees last week.

Th ey opted for a mid-dle-of-the-road solution where more employees will be paid for working those days, a move that reduces the potential

savings from $639,000 to $225,000 a year, but averts a confrontation with the union that rep-resents part-time support staff .

Trustee Steve Burton, who chaired the meeting, voted against the change, saying a few extra minutes of classroom time will not replace the missing six days.

“I do not like this,” Burton said.

Neither did the other trustees, but they said the district’s options are limited because it must

make deep budget cuts to repay a multimillion dollar budget overrun in the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 school years.

Trustee Rob McFarlane described the alteration to the school calendar as “a less pain-ful way than some of the alternatives.”

Trustee Wendy Johnson called it “the least of the evils we’re looking at”

Trustee Alison McVeigh viewed it as a temporary measure that will be rescinded as soon as possible.

“It is my hope it will be [gone] in two years. My expectation is it will be three.”

Trustee Rod Ross agreed.

“I do not see us going beyond this,” said Ross.

Th e Langley Teachers Association has fi led a grievance over the change, saying it violates their union contract.

LTA president Susan Fonseca called the change “depressing.”

“We have a mount-ing defi cit of hope in Langley,” Fonseca told trustees Tuesday.

Th e change to the 2011-2012 school cal-endar will double spring break from one to two weeks and add one day to the Remembrance Day long weekend.

Nine minutes will be added to each elementary school days and 10 min-utes tacked on to second-ary school days.

Martin VanWoudenbergLet Your Love Light Shine Bright

You can’t fake your love for another person but when it comes to being a ro-mantic kind of guy you can become Th e Great Pretender.

Th at’s the premise of a book penned by Aldergrove school teacher and fam-ily man Martin VanWoudenberg.

Titled “How to fake romance (when your love is real)”, it’s a self-help book aimed at the men who need to rekindle the sparks of old fl ames.

It’s not a weighty tome at under 200 pages, and it’s broken into 90 chapters of “ideas” on how to tell the woman in your life that you care. Th e ideas are not complicated or expensive for the most part, and are as simple as leaving a note on the bathroom mirror to a movie night out.

“It’s fast, inexpensive and there is not a lot of potential to mess it up,” said Van-Woudenberg.

“But the impact is enormous. And the simple things oft en have the greater im-pact.”

It is his third book, and it was previ-ously self-published about fi ve years ago. Th e new edition is published by iUniverse and was edited by Simon & Shuster. It has been released in Canada,

U.S., Britain and Australia in a run of 17,000 copies.

He also has published a collection of poetry and contributes to the Pacifi c Rim Review of Books in his spare time. In his day-job he teaches history, English and law at Credo Christian high school

in Langley. Over the years he has also worked as a consultant in the technical fi elds of marketing and the internet.

VanWouden-berg developed the ideas for the romantic tips book over about 10 years, and tested them on his own relation-ship with his wife and mother of their four chil-dren, Nicole.

He also con-vinced his brother-in-law, “the most unro-mantic guy on the planet,” to try

some of the ideas.“You randomly pick a day of the

month, so it becomes a system,” said VanWoudenberg. “It’s faking sponta-neity but his wife liked it so much she bought him a copy of the book.”

Th e book is also available in “ebook” version, and to VanWoudenberg’s sur-prise, this accounts for 15 per cent of its sales.

Th ere is also a website about the book called www.fakeromance.com

portable heater at Jackman and made a second att empt to pick up the shotgun, Coleman said.

Jackman grabbed a knife from the top of a bedroom dresser and a “wrestling match over the gun” ensued, Coleman said.

“Mr. Jackman is confronted with a real threat and is entitled to defend himself,” Coleman said.

At the time Barber was 6’ and 200 lbs. while Jackman was 5’10” and 170 lbs. Coleman added.

“Ultimately you have to decide what happened in the bedroom on the second occasion,” Coleman told the judge.

Th e girlfriend has told a diff er-ent story, saying Jackman used scis-sors to punch Barber in the face and later pursued a fl eeing Barber, stab-bing him from behind.

“She is not a reliable historian,” Coleman said.

“She is seeking vengeance.”Coleman said forensic evidence

shows Barber suff ered a split lip and

cuts to the inside of his mouth that would occur when a person is hit in the face with a fi st.

Th ere were no injuries that would indicate scissors, he said.

Coleman said the girl-friend was lying when she claimed that the mari-juana growing operation in the basement was for personal use and that she bought the 12-gauge shot-gun and modifi ed it with a pistol grip because she planed to go deer hunting with her dad.

“At the very least, she is grossly exaggerating the facts,” Coleman said.

“It would be dangerous in the extreme to rely on that evidence.”

Th e girlfriend also claimed that Jackman choked her boyfriend until Barber was blue in the face, but there was no evidence of burst blood vessels in the eye, bruising on the neck or injuries to the larynx that would result from that kind of

strangulation, Coleman argued.Jackman has maintained that he

didn’t deliberately stab Barber.Without addressing that direct-

ly, Coleman did say that while some of his client’s testimony was “self-serving,” it was “the most accurate ver-sion of what transpired in that room.”

Jackman cannot be not guilty of fi rst degree murder, which requires proof of a planned and deliberate killing, Coleman maintained.

“He [ Jackman] was simply defending himself and did not use more force than necessary.”

Coleman also said the testimony of co-accused Barrett , who has his own lawyer, can’t be trusted, either.

Barrett , Coleman said, did not give police an accurate account, and has tried to distance himself from what happened by shift ing blame onto Jackman.

Th e trial continues.

VICTORIA – Even if mov-ies based on video games aren’t your cup of tea, the recent Disney production “Tron: Legacy” is notable as a measure of the sophistication of the B.C. motion picture industry.

A showcase of the lat-est computer-generated 3D eff ects, including a render-ing of actor Jeff Bridges as he looked in the original version 30 years ago, “Tron: Legacy” was nominated for an Oscar and won several other awards for technical achievement.

Th e sleek, lighted suits worn by characters were cus-tom-made in the United States at a cost of $22 million, then brought to Vancouver for fi lm-ing.

Due to the vagaries of the old provincial sales tax, Disney had to pay about $1.5 million in PST because they were used here.

A friend in the business tells me this was more of a deterrent to movie produc-tion in B.C. than the current weakness of the U.S. dollar. It’s the kind of expensive insult added to the injury of dealing with two diff erent, compli-cated sales taxes, and it’s one of many unintended business problems fi xed by harmonized sales tax.

Despite B.C.’s reputation for movie wizardry, the next “Tron” might be made some-where else if the HST is reject-

ed.Regular readers will

know I am an advocate of the HST, and the general trend away from income taxes and towards consumption taxes. But most people I talk to aren’t interested in the economics, except as it relates to their own wallets.

Th ey don’t believe that taxes imposed on business will either be passed on to consumers, or avoided by changing locations. And they are bombarded with bogus arguments in this spring of election fever.

Federal NDP leader Jack Layton is the worst off ender. Like his B.C. counterparts, he has run to the front of the anti-HST parade. Unlike the B.C. NDP, Layton knows he will never have to implement his promises in government, so he off ers to write off the $1.6 billion transition fund that B.C. has applied to its defi cit. In eff ect, the rest of the prov-inces would subsidize B.C. for bringing back an archaic sales tax.

Th at’s not even Layton’s dumbest idea. He’s been wan-dering the country promising to remove GST from heating bills, a $700 million tax cut that would help the rich as much as the poor.

Surely B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix would not approve of such a regressive tax shift .

(Presumably Layton has

been briefed by now that B.C.’s portion of the HST doesn’t apply to heating bills, so he won’t confuse us with Ontario any more.)

Dix talks about HST falling on small business. Th ere is an impact on service businesses, notably restaurants, but ask a self-employed person or small business operator if they’d like to go back to administering two diff erent sales taxes.

Quarterly HST rebate cheques went out last week to more than a million B.C. resi-dents at the lowest end of the income scale.

Ask those people if they’d like to lose that benefi t, a real example of the kind of income equalizing measure that Dix calls his top priority.

Ask a laid-off mill employ-ee if he’d like to go back to work, and pay HST on movies and a dinner out.

• Further to last week’s column about Dix’s plan to raise corporate tax rates, I now regret referring to his program as “Marxism Lite.”

I fell for his strident rheto-ric about taxing big corpora-tions.

His proposal amounts to raising the tax on corpo-rate net income in excess of $500,000 by a modest two per cent.

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s ViewShoes for kids is off and running

You may not be able to walk a mile in their shoes but you could provide kids in Aldergrove with some decent pairs of running shoes.

Craig Brennan, a senior vice president of Aldergrove Soccer Club and manager of Aldergrove Boston Pizza, was taken aback earlier this year by the numbers of Aldergrove school children who didn’t have gym shoes for their school PE strip.

“We put a soccer program in all the elementary schools in the area, seven to be exact,” said Brennan.

“As I went to follow up and see the program in action, I noticed a large number of the kids were playing soccer in winter boots. Upon speaking with the instructors and further conversations with school administrators, I was informed that these families had to make a choice: warm boots for winter or sneakers for school. Some families have a hard time making ends meet.

“My fi rst thought when I saw this was, this is Canada, not a third world country, and this is not right.”

Brennan went back to his offi ce at Aldergrove’s Boston Pizza and sent out emails to the soccer club executive. He not only enlisted the club’s support for a free running shoe program but also the support of the Aldergrove Business Association (ABA).

“I went to an ABA meeting, did a presentation for them and wow, the support and encouragement I received from the group was overwhelming. I was nearly brought to tears,” said Bren-nan.

Since that night, six weeks ago, Kitchen Korners has built, at no charge, 10 att ractive boxes for shoe drop locations.

Local businesses — Boston Pizza Aldergrove, A1 Glass, Dia-mond Bar Equipment, Greater Vancouver Zoo, EV Logistics, Kates Korner Scrapbooking Store, Prudential Power and Alder-grove Credit Union — will have these boxes on their premises for the public to drop off good new or used running shoes.

“A very special thanks goes to Brock Chapman from A1 Glass and Bruce Heslop from Diamond Bar Equipment, as they have been instrumental in gett ing this program rolling,” said Brennan.

“In addition, I have had pledges of monetary donations and a local resident, Bill Reid has donated a valuable piece of com-puter equipment to be auctioned off and raise money for the program.

“I will be approaching storage companies to donate a locker as a place where we can sort through all the shoes every weekend, get them cleaned, and ready for distribution.

“Also, the program has been growing so much, so fast, that I plan on hiring some youth from the community to work on weekends assisting me at the locker. And just by word of mouth, this program has spread into other communities as far away as Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.”

As for distributing the shoes, Brennan has two plans of action. Th e fi rst is the use of the drop locations, where people who

need the shoes can just come and grab a pair, no questions asked.However, the main source of distribution will be through the

elementary schools. Th e administrators of the schools know their students and families, therefore Brennan has asked them to email the following information: male or female and what size shoes?

“I will then put them together, drop off at school, and walk away. Th e only hurdle we face with this is pride but we have no intentions of ever knowing who got the shoes, where they went or names of people,” said Brennan.

“We can go on, not only knowing the shoes were put to good use, but that we can look in the mirror and at each other and know that the community of Aldergrove is one big family.”

Editor:To expect a resident of B.C. to pay

for a bridge or highway they may never use does not seem fair. As Brit-ish Columbians, we need to realize that infrastructure in urban areas must forever be expanding to meet growth. Th e same does not apply to rural areas of the province.

We need to look at the current sys-tem that is in place for the Golden Ears Bridge, and seems to be the di-rection being considered for the new Port Mann Bridge, as well as some other locations that have been men-tioned.

For only the vehicles of B.C. to be billed for these tolls seem extremely unfair. All users should pay. It hardly seems fair to B.C. truckers that they pay a toll to use infrastructure in the Lower Mainland, but all out-of-prov-ince trucks run for free.

I would be curious if a survey was done for just one week, to take a tally of all vehicles that use our infrastruc-ture that are from south of the border or from provinces east of B.C. I think TransLink should look at construct-

ing seven toll booths in the following locations:

• Highway 99 at the Peace Arch bor-der crossing;

• 176 Street truck crossing;• 264 Street Aldergrove border

crossing; • Highway 11 Huntingdon cross-

ing; • Highway 1 just west of Hope, to

catch all traffi c from Highways 1, 3 and 5, coming into the Lower Main-land;

• Highway 7 just west of Highway 1, to catch all traffi c heading via High-way 7 into the Lower Mainland; and

• All out-of-province vehicles arriv-ing via ferries from U.S. to Victoria.

All vehicles without B.C. plates would be required to report to a toll booth and buy a pass that would be valid for a set period (eg. one week). It would be just like a coloured sticky note, to be displayed in the front windshield. Each week would be a diff erent colour and have a code that is valid for a week or part thereof.

Passes could run from Friday until Th ursday. An out-of-province ve-

hicle, depending on weight and axles, would pay a set rate for use of all in-frastructures for the said week. For a vehicle remaining in the Lower Main-land for more than a week, additional passes could be purchased weekly as needed from any lott ery retailer in the Lower Mainland.

A system like this would not only create a few jobs in the outlying area toll booths, it would probably bring in additional revenues that are much needed to create future infrastruc-ture. It would also create a feeling of fairness to all involved. People in B.C. who do not use the tolled infra-structure won’t be paying for it, and vehicles from out-of-province would be contributing to maintain and im-prove the infrastructure they are us-ing.

Th e two main political parties, or any new and upcoming political par-ties, would probably get more sup-port from the voters if they would take a stand and show the people that they are still in control, and not TransLink.

R. Collick, Langley

Editor:Th e article, “Township budget

approved, despite in-fi ghting” (April 21, 2011) raises concerns that the mayor has abdicated his responsibility to be actively engaged in the budgeting process that is so important to the taxpay-ers of the Township of Langley.

Th e Township of Langley, in-corporated as a Municipality in 1873, is one of the oldest in B.C. A primary reason for incorporating is to provide a responsible local government.

Th e council, of which the mayor is part of, is entrusted by the tax-payers to provide a budget and set the tax rate.

Th e mayor chose to sit this bud-

get out by not contributing any constructive ideas to help reduce taxes. Calling the budget a “staff budget” is a clever way of blaming our hardworking civic employees whose task is to provide the bud-get to council for revisions.

Th e budget is a council budget and as such it is council who provide direction to staff . Simply saying that he “disagrees with the process” is not good enough. We expect the mayor to provide lead-ership and contribute to creating a responsible budget.

Whether the mayor likes it or not he entered offi ce in the midst of the fi ve-year Township of Lang-ley fi nancial plan, initiated in 2007. Amongst other items, the plan

allowed for increased public safety by adding police offi cers and tran-sitioning to full time fi refi ghters. Th ese costs are due now. By vot-ing against the budget the mayor has ignored our need for increased safety. Th is is no diff erent than any household planning to purchase a car or go on vacation without a solution to pay for it.

I encourage the men and women who live and work in the Township of Langley to observe what the mayor is doing to our future.

He appears to be more inter-ested in gaining votes in Novem-ber than doing what is right for the Township.

Budget process in disarray

Editor: We would like to thank the com-

munity of Aldergrove for support-ing our successful bott le drive to raise money for Carter Mantt a’s family on Saturday.

Our original goal was to raise $300 but thanks to the community’s help,

we more than doubled that and raised $653.82, which we deposited into the Mantt a family account at the Royal Bank here in Aldergrove.

We would also like the thank the staff at the Aldergrove recycling depot for all their patience with us on Saturday.

We are planning to do more bott le drives for the family around the long weekends during the summer, so watch for another lett er.

Is it youth voter apathy or disillusionment?Editor:On May 2, I will become another

20-something who doesn’t vote.Th ere are a lot of theories as to why

young people don’t vote; the most common being that we don’t care.

While some youth may fl at-out not care, the majority of youth I know, and myself, see the fl aws in a system the older generation has been habitu-ally conditioned to believe in.

In the grade 11 cirriculum, parlia-ment is described as the place where MPs gather to represent their riding’s

views on policy. Th e youth then head out to the real world, and see the para-dox. No matt er which party you vote for, you are voting for a party, not a representative.

In the ideal world, candidates pres-ent ways they would try to bring their riding’s voice to government. In the real world, groups of like-minded individuals form a business called a “party”. Th ese parties then present their product, their policy views, to voters in an election, and force them to sett le for “good enough”.

In short, we’re supposed to elect MPs to represent our interests in par-liament. What we have is a system in which MPs represent their party’s interests, and then defend said party from us.

I’ll be the fi rst to admit nothing could ever perfect, but in Canada, our system of government actually works opposite to how it was designed. Th e youth don’t vote because we refuse to support a system that doesn’t work by participating in it.

Jordan Braun, Aldergrove

Keep bandits in check

Editor: Mr. Bysouth, as a Conser-

vative supporter, is eager to give Mr. Harper full credit for Canada’s enviable fi -nancial status (Star lett ers, April 21, “Canada is in good shape, so keep it up”).

Th e facts stand but the in-terpretation is much more political. Canada’s econ-omy is strong, certainly in comparison with the USA and many European coun-tries, because Canada is a net exporter of oil, while they are all importers. Can-ada also resisted the neo-conservative move to treat mortgages as a speculative investment that severely damaged both the Ameri-can and British economies. Th is too was something that preceded Emperor Harper’s ascension to Can-ada’s “throne”.

Mr. Bysouth would like Canada to now pay down the huge defi cit that his party greatly increased over the last three years, al-though the savings in (very low) interest payments will be dwarfed by the massive tax breaks the Conserva-tives wish to give to their very profi table friends in the big banks and to the gi-ant oil and gas companies.

Th e reality, as we saw with the BC Liberals over the last 10 years, is that any new revenues will be generated off the backs of ordinary citizens.

Voters beware! Giving our rulers a majority will be disastrous; minorities keep all of these bandits in check.

Dr. H. Spencer, Aldergrove

Give me just one reason...

Editor:Election fever is upon us

and I just have one question for the incumbent federal MP, Mark Warawa.

“Name one thing – just only one thing – that you have done for the citizens of your riding. Th ree things would have been nice but think that would be stretch-ing it so one will have to suffi ce - and that is not to include anything that has been to your advantage and/or to your family and friends.”

Nine of us were discuss-ing the election this morn-ing and not one of us could think of a thing that Mr. Warawa had accomplished, let alone anything he’s done for our benefi t.

Please enlighten us.Diana Sampson, Langley

Aldergrove Star

Th e crowning event of this week’s Royal Wedding celebrations in Langley will be an aft er-noon tea for well-known English horsewoman and community volunteer Joy Richardson on Sunday aft ernoon at the Langley Golf and Banquet Centre, 21550 - 44 Ave., from 3-6 p.m.

Th e Pacifi c Parklands Foundation and the Langley Horse Federation will honour the long-time Langley resident for her dedication and commit-ment to the Spirit of the Horse Garden, located in Campbell Valley Regional Park, and to recognize her lifetime of volunteer work in the community. Politicians, horse and community organizations and her many friends are expected to pay tribute to Richardson at the open house. Presentations and speeches get under way at 4:15 p.m.

Now in her mid-80s and still an active horse-woman, Richardson real-ized her dream more than 10 years ago with the cre-ation of the Horse Garden at the entrance of the Campbell Valley eques-trian centre on 208 Street. Th e garden was built on

a one-third-acre of leased land by the Langley Horse Federation in partnership with Metro Vancouver R e g i o n a l Parks, the Township of Langley, the Horse Council of B.C., and many corpo-rate sponsors and horse lov-ers. Unique in Canada, this beautiful gar-den celebrates the memo-ries and achievements of many horses and ponies and has become a quiet haven for horse lovers to contemplate and celebrate memories of their faithful friends.

Meandering brick walls, granite benches and a memory lane of bricks lead to the Spirit Courtyard display of inscriptions and personal messages of more than 300 horses. Th e garden’s mission statement is “to embrace the majesty of equus: animals who have forged the lives of many, and to employ their gen-erous spirit to promote fellowship, hope, courage and strength within our community.”

Richardson, born to

an English farmer, regu-larly sat on a pony before she could walk.

She has lived in Canada since 1957 and purchased a property in A l d e r g r o v e in 1969 and e s t a b l i s h e d H e r i t a g e B o a r d i n g Stables. Her entire life has been dedicat-ed to working with horses,

resulting in many inter-national championships in England, Canada and the United States, where she also judged a variety of horse disciplines from fox hunting, working hunter, jumping, event-ing, western performance and dressage. In 1997, she was named Horse Person of the Year by the Horse Council of British Columbia and in 1999 received a Fraser Valley Woman of Excellence Award.

She has also writt en two books -- one about her interesting and busy life called Joy For Living, and the other about 12 of the most infl uential horsemen in B.C. history, entitled Th e Horsemen.

Aldergrove Star

Th e Aldergrove junior boys rugby team played a tough game against Mountain Secondary that saw the lead change four times.

Unfortunately for the junior Totems, frequent penalties halted many promising drives and the team found themselves trailing at halft ime, 12-5.

In the second half the boys began to swing the momentum in their favour, with Tanner Cumiskey scoring the go-ahead try halfway through the second half. Pietro Romegioli made the conversion of the try

to put the Totems ahead of the Eagles.

Th e team was able to hold off the late pressure applied by the opposi-tion, however, a late pen-alty allowed the visitors to even the score on the fi nal whistle at 17-17.

Aldergrove was able to win the Langley Shield back aft er a year’s absence due to their over-all season record, with wins over DW Poppy, Brookswood, Walnut Grove.

As Langley champions the Totems will be travel-ling to Port Moody this Wednesday for the fi rst round of playoff s.

Aldergrove Star

April has turned out to be a busy month for the local boxing scene, includ-ing Aldergrove fi ghter Luke Davies.

Dan Csaszar, an 18-year-old super middleweight, has joined the City Boxing Club. Csaszar may be the best young prospect in B.C. and if there were such a thing as a fi rst round draft pick in boxing to advance to the pros, Dan would be the guy.

City Boxing manager Dave Allison says Csaszar is not yet ready for the pros but is close and will appear in “Clash @ Th e Cascade 8” for all to see.

Two of Langley’s young and up-and-coming boxers ventured down south and challenged two Americans earlier this month. Fighting in the U.S. is always a challenge for Canadian boxers due to the depth of competition on the U.S. side.

Mat Andreatt a, who just turned 17 in January, had the toughest challenge when he took his 6-0-1 record into the ring with 20-year-old Nestor Garcia. Th e age diff erence was the big diff erence and a challenge for Andreatt a.

Andreatt a’s last fi ght was against 22-year-old Derrick Wong, however, Wong weighed 118 lbs. to Andreatt a’s 125 lbs. Th is time weight was in the slight favour of Garcia, as was experi-ence, and this created a tough, grind-ing contest. Th e fi rst two rounds went to Garcia by a slim margin, however, Andreatt a was able to turn the tide in the third. Th is was not enough for the judg-es who saw it for the American, handing Andreatt a his fi rst loss. Th e young pros-pect falls to 6-1-1.

Club-mate Dustin Oster, 16, had an easier assignment and looked great in nearly stopping his opponent Jose

Gualip, 15, in the second. Oster could not seal the deal and had to sett le for a unanimous decision win.

Oster now sports a 2-1-0 and looks to avenge his only loss May 6 when he rematches Ibrahim Ibrahim at Clash 8.

Allison says both fi ghters handled themselves very well and can be proud of their performances. CLASH WILL SEE RUBBER MATCH

Shawn McDonald, 21, and Jake Weitzel, 29, will rematch for Weitzel’s B.C. Welterweight title May 6 at Clash @ Th e Cascade 8. Th ese two have one victory against each other over the past year and both were split decisions; this will be the tiebreaker.

Th is will be a chance for Langley boxing fans to get a look at Dan Csaszar, when he meets a very tough Ty MacDougall, who is favoured to defeat Csaszar. MacDougall was the 2008 B.C. Golden Boy as the outstanding boxer at the Golden Gloves. MacDougall took a try at the pros, however, returned to the amateurs, regaining his amateur status with Boxing Canada.

Th e seven-bout show will also include Langley’s Darren Cooper and Aldergrove’s Luke Davies. Allison says on paper this may be the highest quality-boxing event yet at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre series.

City Boxing now works out at Th e Revolution Fitness Centre and is part of the Revolution Fight Team. Th ey are now able to off er younger athletes who are interested in boxing. Th ey have some eight-year-olds coming along and on the June 24 show there will be Tyke Boxing. Th is is a program allowing for youngsters to box from the ages of eight to 10.

Call 604-550-7897 for information.

fi rst victory of the season, aft er two narrow defeats.

Th e Saints’ strong pitching, com-bined with some timely hitt ing, in-cluding a two RBI triple from their Aldergrove pitcher saw the Saints pre-vail 4 to 3 over the Tri City Indians.

Th e score was not as close as it looked, as the Saints built up a 4-1 lead and then saw the Indians get closer with some hits off the relief pitching.

Th e Saints are off to the Okanagan this weekend for doubleheaders in Kamloops and Penticton.

Tiering change voted down

Aldergrove Star

A vote to create a new system of senior boys’ bas-ketball has failed. Th e pro-posal suggested changing from the current three tier system — A, AA and AAA — to a four-tiered format.

Eighty-four people (63 per cent) voted yes on the motion, while 50 were against the idea. Sixty-seven per cent, or 90 ‘yes’ votes were needed to pass the motion, which would have created a new AAAA tier of basketball.

Th e motion was given preliminary approval at the B.C. High School Boys Bas-ketball Association annual general meeting last month in Langley.

Currently, schools are placed in a tier depending on how many boys’ they have in Grade 11 and 12 that school year. Individual schools do have the option to play at a higher tier if they choose.

Th is past season, schools with 80 or fewer boys in those grades are at the Sin-gle A level, 81-225 puts a school at the AA level, and 226 and above places them in the AAA level.

Walnut Grove, Brook-swood and Langley Sec-ondary are at the AAA level, although Langley did not fi eld a team this year.

Aldergrove, D.W. Poppy, R.E. Mountain and Lang-ley Fundamental are all at the AA level, but Langley Fundamental did not fi eld a team. Langley Christian, Credo Christian and Fraser Valley Adventist are at the Single A level.

Aldergrove Star

Ryan McAllister is one of the Fraser Valley’s few bona fi de rock stars. Th e former Dakona frontman has recorded at some of the world’s most impressive studios and played stages across North America aft er landing a fairytale record deal with Madonna’s now-dissolved label, Maverick Records.

Today, however, he runs a recording studio a few steps from his house in a sleepy corner of the Valley — and there is nowhere he would rather be.

On April 30 he’ll release his fi rst full-length solo album — the aptly titled Music for a Rainy Town — with a special event at West Abbotsford’s Jubilee Hall (7999 Bradner Rd., Abbotsford. Doors at 7 p.m. Advance tickets, $12 at www.ryanmcallister.com), followed up by a show at the Roxy in Vancouver on May 4.

In the 10 years since Dakona’s heyday, McAllister has seen every side of the music industry.

“It’s been quite the ride,” he says. “We went from having a bidding war for our album to slowly watch-ing our record label fall apart in the middle of our tour.

“Th e one smart thing we did with our big record label advance was build a recording studio in Abbotsford. Th at turned into my accidental occupation.”

As the owner and opera-tor of Room and Board Studios, McAllister has taught himself the art of producing and recording, and has writt en plenty of music along

the way. But it wasn’t until he received a push from former Dakona gui-tarist, Brook Winstanley, that he set out to record his own solo tracks.

Th e result is a rich, diverse record that cov-ers the genre gamut between pop, old time gospel and straight up rock and roll. Th e 12 tracks refl ect a seasoned maturity that off ers insight to McAllister’s personal evolution in the decade since Dakona.

“When you’re a 20-something musician who sees what’s working in the industry, you try to emulate that. It’s how you develop your craft ,” he says. “Now it doesn’t feel like I’m trying to fi t my music into a mold. I’m at a stage in my life when I’ve realized all the people I’m not. I’m a happy guy — I’m married with litt le kids. Now I’m writing about my securities instead of my insecurities.”

Music for a Rainy Town is a deliberate move away from the big distorted rock chords and dramatic themes that defi ned McAllister’s youth. But he hasn’t thrown off all the trademarks Dakona fans loved, like lyrics steeped in imagery and that made-for-rock voice that can transition between a honeyed croon and anthemic wail from one track to the next.

“Th is album is the closest I’ve been to having no regrets,” he says. “It has my stamp all over it.”

Writt en in Africa, Texas, Hawaii, California and Toronto, the songs are a musical travel journal, but they are deeply rooted on the West Coast — as the title track suggests.

“It’s one of my favou-rite moments, when I’m in the studio and it’s dumping rain outside,” he says. “I have to pinch myself to realize that this is my job right now.”

McAllister credits that West Coast rain for

keeping so many Vancouver art-ists inside making music. He drew from that vast pool of local talent throughout recording: “Th ey fi ll the canvas of music with all these colours I would never have thought of.”

Even fresh off performing at the venerated South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas, McAllister says he wouldn’t want to make music anywhere else.

“I’ve recorded in huge studios and worked with artists from all over the U.S., but I would never take for granted the talent and cama-raderie we have right here in the Valley. Where I’m at now is exactly where I’m supposed to be.”

McAllister will play a series of shows in B.C. and Alberta following the April 30 release of Music for a Rainy Town, including a perfor-mance at Canada Place on Canada Day. Visit www.ryanmcallister.com for details.
