HARRY HUNT PHOTOThe entire student body of Parkside Centennial elementary gathered around and atop their new playground equipment to express their thanks for the community fundraising that fi nally achieved replacement of outdated equipment earlier this year. The area had been simply gravel for two years after the previous playground equipment had been condemned and removed.

It took two long years but the Parkside Centennial elementary school playground is now up and being enjoyed by the students.

Th e intermediate play-ground at Parkside Centennial Elementary has a brand new play structure thanks to a combined eff ort of the entire community. Everyone got on board to help the Parkside PAC raise over $45,000 to purchase and install the new structure.

“We at Parkside would like send out a huge ‘thank you’ to the

community partners that helped make this happen,” said Parents Advisory Council spokesperson Donna Robertson.

“Th e contributors includ-ed the Township of Langley (Al Neufeld), School District #35 ( Jake Bisson and Dan McKinnon), the Langley School District Foundation (Susan Cairns), the Aldergrove Business Association (Bruce Hyslop and all the Aldergrove business that donated money to the playground fund, as well as items for fundrais-ers), and the Aldergrove Star for

sharing our story with the com-munity,” said Robertson on behalf of the students and parents.

“We would also like to thank all our Parkside families, friends and neighbours; the friends and family that purchased fundraising items from coupon books to mag-azine subscriptions and every-thing in between; the parents that volunteered at everything from Hot Lunch to Fun Nights, and the dedicated parents that worked tirelessly on our Playground Committ ee, Jodi Van Aert, Ernie and Gena Dombrowski.”

Town pitches in for the kidsAldergrove Star

A new piece of public art has been installed in Aldergrove to recognize a pioneer who helped develop and shape the community.

A cairn outlining the contributions made by Philip Jackman was placed across from the park that now bears his name.

Th e cairn, located in Aldergrove Kinsmen Heritage Park, pays tribute to everything he did for Aldergrove during its formative years and explains the sig-nifi cance of the decision to rename the adjacent park Philip Jackman Park. Th e park is part of Jackman’s original home-stead here.

“Jackman was one of the Township’s early reeves or mayors, serving from 1895 to 1897,” said manager of parks design and development Al Neufeld.

“He led a fascinating life and is cred-ited with naming the area Alder Grove.”

Born in Devon, England in 1835, Jackman came to B.C. as a sapper with the Royal Engineers in 1859. He searched for gold in the Cariboo, was a fi shery guard-ian, and served as the one-man police force in New Westminster.

Sett ling in what is now Aldergrove, he homesteaded 160 acres with his wife, Sara Ann Lovegrove, where the couple ran a store, and Philip took up politics.

Th e last survivor of the Royal Engineer’s Columbia Detachment of 1858, Jackman died in 1927 at the age of 92, and was sur-vived by three of his six children.

In 2008, Township of Langley Council renamed the former Aldergrove Park at 32 Avenue and 272 Street Philip Jackman Park in honour of the pioneer. Changes were made to park signs to refl ect the new name, and a steering committ ee was formed to develop a public art piece that would explain who Jackman was and edu-cate visitors about his achievements during Aldergrove’s formative years.

Township staff worked with the com-mitt ee, which included Jackman’s great grandsons Keith and John, as well as Alder Grove Telephone Museum manager Erik Simonsen, to look at the type of memorial cairn that could be used, where it could be installed, and the wording that would be appropriate.

Details were fi nalized over the past year and the cairn was installed in the beginning of September.

On October 5, members of Township of Langley Township council and staff joined Jackman’s descendants for the offi cial unveiling of the cairn.

Police are issuing an unusual warning that members of the Dhak and Duhre gangs are being targeted by rival gangsters and anyone close to them could be caught in the crossfi re.

“Th ere’s a lot of tensions between the gangs right now,” Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit Supt. Tom McCluskie said.

“If you are associating, if you’re hanging around or if you’re family or even friends of the Dhaks or the Duhres, you are in danger.”

Th e warning was issued aft er a shooting in Surrey Friday night crit-ically injured Jujhar Singh Khun-Khun, a member of the Dhak group that’s believed to be allied with the

Duhres and United Nations gang against other crime groups, includ-ing the Hells Angels.

“Th e shooting Friday night took place on a city street where any member of the public could have easily been caught in the crossfi re,” McCluskie said.

CFSEU Sgt. Bill Whalen said investigators believe it’s “quite pos-sible” but not certain that the Surrey shooting is linked to the Kelowna shooting incident last month that killed Jonathan Bacon and wound-ed two other people, including a prominent Hells Angel. Th ere are now more than 80 offi cers working on a special task force investigating the Kelowna and Surrey shootings, as well as generally elevated gang tensions in the Lower Mainland.

McCluskie said offi cers have also given specifi c individual warn-ings of the danger to several mem-bers or people associated with the targeted crime groups.

It’s the fi rst time in at least two years police have issued a specifi c warning that gang violence could be imminent in the Lower Mainland.

It has happened at least once previously when offi cers warned that the Bacon group was being tar-geted and anyone nearby could be at risk.

McCluskie said members of the public aren’t specifi cally targeted, but noted more att acks could hap-pen anywhere.

“Th ese guys don’t care where it is. Th ey have no regard whatsoever for the safety of the public.”

By JEFF NAGELBlack Press

A fi ll-up in Metro Vancouver will cost motorists an extra two cents a litre in TransLink tax starting next April.

Sixteen mayors approved TransLink’s supplemental plan Friday by an 81-34 population-weighted vote – a 70-per-cent majority.

It ensures the long-stalled Evergreen Line to Coquitlam is fi nal-ly built and delivers a variety of other transit upgrades across the region, partly funded through the gas tax increase.

But more new fees targeting driv-ers could be on the way, such as an annual vehicle levy or road pricing, as a result of the vote.

At least that’s what most mayors hope happens.

Th e Metro cities and the province are now committ ed to try to negoti-ate various new sources for TransLink to cover nearly half of the extra $70 million per year required to fund the transit expansion plan.

It’s a big leap of faith for the may-ors, who are trusting that Victoria will deliver and not leave them in the lurch once again.

If the province gets cold feet or otherwise refuses to sign off on new sources, a $23 average property tax increase takes eff ect instead.

“Th is is not the end of the road – this is the beginning of the road to the solution,” Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said.

Surrey mayor Dianne Watt s said a “fair tolling policy” must be part of the debate, to end the inequity of some Metro residents paying more in tolls than others.

“We have a year,” Watt s said. “If we can’t do this in a year, I think we should all just walk away from the

table. If for whatever reason it fails I will not be sitt ing at this table.”

Approval was assured because Surrey and Vancouver had enough weighted votes to pass the plan with only a few other cities on board.

Six mayors opposed the plan: Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan, Richmond’s Malcolm Brodie, Delta’s Lois Jackson, Langley Township’s Rick Green, Pitt Meadows’ Don MacLean and New Westminster Mayor Wayne Wright.

Green said South of Fraser resi-dents are underserved by transit and tapped out on what they can pay.

“I’m hearing it loud and clear,” he said. “People have just had enough.”

MacLean warned the fall-back property tax increase, if used, will not be temporary but will stay in place forever because rescinding it would trigger drastic transit service cuts.

Several mayors predicted Victoria will back out and refuse to grant new sources – especially ones sure to be contentious as the next provincial election nears – leaving them stuck with the unwanted property tax.

“Can you imagine how diffi cult a road pricing debate is going to be and how divisive that is going to be in our

region?” Brodie asked.“I’m afraid I don’t have that kind

of faith,” Delta Mayor Lois Jackson added.

TransLink has tried to get on sus-tainable fi nancial footing before.

It had the green light to impose a $75 per vehicle levy in 2000 but the Opposition Liberals fought it and the NDP government scrapped it in a bid to shore up votes.

More recently, TransLink adopted a parking stall tax, but the Liberal government decided it was unaccept-able and killed it, amid a governance overhaul that took control away from the elected reps.

Some mayors, such as Brodie, wanted to approve just the two-cent gas tax for the $1.4-billion Evergreen Line, chop the other spending in the plan and avoid the risk of a property tax hike.

But others said they couldn’t sup-port an Evergreen Line only solution – nor was it possible because mayors had no power to amend the plan craft -ed by TransLink’s unelected board.

Changes to the governance struc-ture giving cities more control of the spending priorities is a key demand of the mayors.

Corrigan said the province will only grant real reform if the mayors take a stand and freeze the fl ow of new cash to TransLink.

“You cannot go on being treated like sheep,” he told other Metro may-ors. “We have to have our own Boston tea party.”

Th e provincial government still has to pass legislation this month enabling the TransLink gas tax increase from a current 15 cents a litre to 17 cents next spring.

As soon as the increase is legislat-ed, the province is expected to move quickly to issue a request for propos-als for the Evergreen Line – likely before the end of the year – sett ing the stage for a construction start next year.

A jubilant Mayor Joe Trasolini of Port Moody said his city will reverse a development freeze as soon as the project advances.

NDP transportation critic Harry Bains said the Opposition will sup-port the two-cent gas tax hike when it goes to a vote in Victoria to ensure the Evergreen Line proceeds.

He would not spell out the NDP position on future funding sources.

Th e upgrades promised in the

plan include RapidBus service from Langley over the new Port Mann Bridge to Lougheed Station, White Rock-Langley bus route and a B-Line express bus route in Surrey running on 104 Avenue to Guildford and down King George Boulevard to White Rock.

Also promised are more fre-quent SeaBus runs, SkyTrain station upgrades and a general increase in bus service of more than 420,000 hours a year, along with restored funding for road work and bike routes.

Th e approval of TransLink’s $400-million share of Evergreen Line costs also secures more than $1-billion in federal and provincial contributions. Th e plan does not include longer-term priorities, such as new rapid transit lines in Surrey to Langley and White Rock, a Broadway corridor line to UBC or increased West Coast Express service.

Th ose projects all depend on much more money coming to TransLink in future years via new sources.

John Davidson & Martin SunderlandJoint police-fi re forces for Youth at Risk

Abbotsford Police Const. John David-son and Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service Insp. Martin Sunderland have joined forces for the Youth at Risk program.

Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) and the Abbotsford Police Department (APD) are entering a competition that they hope will result in $100,000 in winnings to develop a program they have dubbed Youth at Risk.

Th e program com-bines multi-media presentations that the two agencies, until now, had been running indepen-dently – one on fi re safety and the other on road safety.

AFRS Insp. Mar-tin Sunderland said if they win the 2011 Aviva Community Fund competition, which began Oct. 3, the money will be used to develop these programs over the Internet so they are more easily acces-sible to parents, teens and teachers.

A presentation of Youth at Risk took place Sept. 27 at Matsqui Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way.

Sunderland created and developed the AFRS portion to educate young people about the dangers of fi re and risk-taking.

He said kids sometimes try to mimic the behaviours they see online or in movies, without considering the conse-quences, or they act out of boredom.

“We’re hoping that at least by giving them the tools, they can take a minute to think about what they’re doing and ana-lyze their situation.”

Th e APD portion is the brainchild of Const. John Davidson, a school liaison offi cer who was concerned about the number of serious and fatal car crashes that involved teens in the community, particularly in 2008 and 2009.

Th e road safety program includes a presentation from Christina Th rasher, whose sister, Jess, was killed when the car

in which she was a passenger hit a patch of black ice and ran into a telephone pole in January 2008.

Th e presentation also includes the showing of several public service mes-sages from the U.K. that off er graphic depictions of car crashes.

Davidson said the goal is to remind

teens to think about how their decisions – such as speeding or not wearing a seat-belt – can change their lives.

Sunderland said because he and Da-vidson were relaying similar messages, they thought it would be a good idea to combine resources.

One of the Youth at Risk slogans is “Decisions change your life in a split sec-ond.”

Th ey have entered the Aviva Commu-nity Fund competition, which awards a total of $1 million across Canada for ideas that will have a positive impact in their communities. Th e public can vote for their favourite on the website:

avivacommunityfund.orgAFRS and APD are in the category to

receive up to $100,000 in funding.

Th e Fraser Health Authority is spending $6.5 million to expand Langley Memorial Hospital’s mater-nity unit.

Th is expansion is an integral part of FHA’s strategy to build maternity capacity in high-growth communi-ties across the Fraser Valley.

Th e business case for the expan-sion, developed in collaboration with LMH clinical stakeholders, indicated an “urgent need” for ren-ovating the existing maternity ward to provide bett er access for expect-ant mothers.

Th e projected number of births at LMH is expected to increase to 2,336 by 2020 — a 28 per cent rise from 2009.

Th e expansion design includes seven additional labour/delivery/recovery/postpartum rooms and moving the current maternity clinic next to the existing hospital mater-nity unit.

Th e additional rooms will be designed for single room mater-nity care (SRMC). LMH is one of four Fraser Health sites off ering

this model which is based on best practice and contributes to a bett er childbirth experience by support-ing family centered care.

With the seven new rooms, the total number of SRMC spaces will increase to 20 to bett er manage cur-rent and future demand.

Th e maternity clinic, comprised of general practitioners with specifi c interests in primary maternity care, is currently operating out of tempo-rary space within the hospital. Th e relocation would be achieved by building on the adjacent roof area over the northwest portion of the second fl oor. In addition, site infra-structure will be enhanced to sup-port the expansion.

Th e expansion project will be funded mostly through Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation’s commitment of $5.35 million, with the balance coming from the FHA.

Construction is expected to be complete in mid-2013. Four beds will open in 2013 and the other three remaining beds are planned to open two years later.

Forty per cent of child births

in British Columbia are at Fraser Health hospitals, which amount to more than 15,000 births each year.

Rich Coleman, MLA Fort Langley-Aldergrove, noted that LMH serves a rapidly growing population and the LMH maternity unit maintains the second high-est occupancy rate within Fraser Health.

“Th is is great news for the com-munity and families in this region as it will signifi cantly enhance LMH’s ability to serve the Langley community,” he said.

Langley MLA Mary Polak called the announcement “an exciting milestone.”

Rick McMullan, who chairs the hospital foundation’s board, said:”Th e maternity unit at Langley Memorial Hospital is truly where this community begins and this long overdue expansion will ensure that the needs of our growing pop-ulation will continue to be met well into the future. We are excited by this opportunity and we look for-ward to working with our support-ers to bring this vision to life.”

Come. Sit. Down. Heel. For the thousands of dogs living

in animal shelters across Canada there is one word above all the oth-ers they want to hear: Stay.

Th is is why the makers of Pedigree dog food, in partnership with the Patt i Dale animal shelter in Aldergrove and dog-lovers Jully Black, Eva Avila and Team Kevin Martin, have launched the fourth annual Pedigree adoption drive campaign to show that shelter dogs are good dogs, and enable and empower Canadians to help them by adopting, donating and volun-teering.

“Being a part of the 2011 Pedigree adoption drive campaign is truly a great opportunity because it gives me the chance to raise awareness about the importance of dog adoption.” said Jully Black, Canadian Juno Award winning singer/songwriter. “Th e Pedigree adoption drive gives thousands of shelter dogs across Canada a chance to be a part of a loving home.”

To help shelter dogs fi nd loving homes, Pedigree will donate $1, up to a maximum of $150,000 in 2011, for every view of its Adoption Stories videos to the shelters. Th e Adoption Stories videos can be viewed online at www.mypedigree.

ca and showcase real-life dogs — Bootsie and Phoenix — who both came to live in animal shelters while waiting for loving families to adopt them.

“We are very proud to partner with our 30 animal shelters across the country to promote awareness about the importance of adoption and bring these good dogs to the public,” said Aisha Hassan, brand manager of Pedigree Care & Treat.

“Since the Pedigree adoption drive campaign launched in 2007, we have helped raise $650,000 for shelters across Canada and with this year’s donation commitment will bring that total to $800,000.”

Manning Park is a piece of history and a piece of the future of B.C. Th e park itself was estab-lished in 1941.

It is 70 years young and in celebration of its 70th birthday Back Country Horsemen of B.C. saddled up for a his-toric ride. Th e riders left from parts of the Lower Mainland, from Princeton and from other parts of B.C. Th ey were stopped by snow from doing their original ride, but not from celebrating Manning Park’s birthday.

Manning Park is over 70,000 hectares of “tow-ering cedar rain forests and spectacular alpine meadows,” states the brochure. What the bro-chure doesn’t state is all of the history. Part of that history includes an eques-trian barn and camping area.

Manning Park is crisscrossed with trails and paths, some made by humans and some by game. Th e Whatcom Trail is one such trail made by humans. It was blazed through the rug-ged terrain to make a path into B.C.’s interior. Th ese fi rst trails had one thing in common. Th ey were blazed by humans on horseback.

In celebration of B.C. Parks 100th anniversary, Manning Park’s 70th and

the B.C. Back Country Horsemen’s 20th, riders paraded into Manning Park with much to regale.

Rose Schroeder is the vice president of Back Country Horsemen of B.C., chair for Joint Trails and Access Committ ee Horse Council B.C. and the director of the Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C. Schroeder was one of the driving forces behind the Back Country Horsemen of B.C. club’s involvement.

It was Schroeder and her group who spent hours gett ing the Headwaters Corral at the Manning Park Horse Camp ready for the event.

“Th e camp was a

joint project of the Back Country Horsemen of B.C., B.C. Parks and Manning Park Resort,” said Schroeder, “with a signifi cant amount of funding provided through Horse Council B.C.”

Back Country Horsemen’s Yarrow chap-ter spearheaded the proj-ect with help from the Aldergrove chapter. She thanked Manning Park Resort for allowing the Back Country Horsemen to rejuvenate the corral camping area for eques-trian use. Th ere are pres-ently six campsites.

Roy Harker from Princeton was one of the horse riders who rode into the park for the cel-

ebration. Harker has been riding horses since he was litt le and has been volun-teering in B.C. Parks for 13 years. In 2008, Harker won “volunteer of the year” for B.C. Parks for his service clearing trails and maintaining cabins in Snowy Mountain pro-tected area.

“Th e rides were dras-tically changed due to inclement weather,” said Harker. “Our group spent eight days in at Placer and Trapper Lake and then rode into Manning for the celebration. I have been riding in this area since I was eight years old.”

Harker’s group had eight riders.

“My grandson Isaac Turand from Surrey was the youngest,” Harker continued. “He is 10 years old and carried the lett er from the Mayor from the Town of Princeton to the celebration at Manning.”

Roy has lived in Princeton for 68 years.

Harker credited Schroeder for the great work at Manning.

“Rose is very down to earth and gets things done,” he said. “Th e Back Country Horsemen came up with $16,000 of their own money for the horse barn and campsite at Manning plus did an incredible amount of vol-unteer work. Th ey clear trails all over and it is real-ly appreciated.”

Aldergrove contributes to 70th anniversary ride at Manning

What should have been a depos-itory for clothes and books for the less fortunate has become an eyesore in the middle of the coun-tryside. Rain-soaked matt resses, clothes, odd shoes, puzzle pieces, toys, crayons and a shriveled hang-ing basket are among the debris scatt ered around a book drop.

Long aft er a drop box for clothes was removed, people have kept dumping possessions they no lon-ger want.

Councillor Charlie Fox passes the mess on the southeast corner

of 240 Street and Fraser Highway two or three times a day, and on Monday he told council that “it’s an unmitigated disaster.” Adding that garbage has been strewn there for a while, Fox said that the Township “has to get a handle on it.”

Mayor Rick Green agreed. “It’s absolutely disgusting,” he said.

On Tuesday, as he toured the site where garbage is dumped in several spots, Fox stumbled across an old motor and large coils of wire stripped of their copper innards.

Th e property, which belongs to an off -shore owner, is for sale, and as such it’s up to the owner to keep

in clear of garbage. Administrator Mark Bakken advised that commu-nity drop boxes should be placed in locations where there is a higher standard of maintenance.

Fox pointed out that the grounds around a community drop box the Aberdeen fi re hall on Fraser Highway, just east of the Langley/Abbotsford border, are keep tidy because of the proximity of the hall and Abbotsford maintenance work-ers att ending to them.

Council asked staff for a report that will focus on controlling where the boxes should be located, and how grounds can be kept tidy.

Th e business run by mayoral candidate Jack Froese and his wife Debbie was recognized as one of the top eight small businesses in B.C. at a luncheon in Victoria last week.

Now Froese, who runs JD Turkey Farms, wants the Township to capitalize on the award.

“Wouldn’t it be great for Langley Township to be recognized for our vision for business and job cre-

ation?” he told small gathering of supporters outside the Township civic facility on Tuesday, min-utes aft er he fi led his nomination papers.

“My goal is to get us there.” Froese said that during last

spring’s budget deliberations, the Township argued that it would have to increase property taxes because of “less than expected economic activity.”

What is needed, he said, are

strategies that will increase eco-nomic activity to reduce the tax burden on taxpayers. He proposes to achieve this, in part, by support-ing the Township’s economic devel-opment department and the eco-nomic development advisory board as they work to boost employment.

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark handed her opponents more ammuni-tion last week with her latest “ready, fi re, aim” episode, call-ing for radio and TV coverage of Stanley Cup riot prosecu-tions.

Th e day aft er this half-baked idea was announced, Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond had to sign an executive order directing Crown prose-cutors to ask judges for broad-cast coverage.

Prosecutors have enough trouble gett ing convictions in our stumbling, delay-plagued court system without spend-ing time on TV applications for minor cases.

Bond referred reporters to the long list of conditions under which broadcasting may be done from court. In the unlikely event a judge consents to broadcast access, nothing can be aired until at least two hours aft er a morn-ing or aft ernoon session has been adjourned.

Absurdly, everyone involved, from lawyers to wit-nesses to defendants, has a veto over their image or voice being broadcast. No accused people would consent to that. Th e rules are designed to fail.

I’m all in favour of tele-vising court, not so much to shame perpetrators as to show what a cozy litt le closed shop it is. I recently sat in on the plea-bargained sentence for James Roy Taylor, the former Fraser Health technology manager

caught with his hand in the cookie jar for the second time in his career.

Crown and defence law-yers exchanged legalese barely above a whisper, congratu-lating each other for the ele-gance of the tap on the wrist they were giving Taylor for accepting multiple benefi ts in exchange for approving fraud-ulent invoices for a doctor supplying questionable elec-tronic health services. Taylor has to do community service, pay back the lolly he admits accepting, and take a reduced pension on account of being fi red as a crook. Poor fellow.

Anyone who has sat in court for long sees the endless parade of adjournments and excuses that routinely substi-tute for progress. Years ago I publicized the eff orts a pio-neering group of youth court observers, ordinary citizens horrifi ed by the sluggish pace of proceedings. Day aft er day they saw smirking teens watch lawyers compare schedules before heading off to lunch. Th ose citizens’ eff orts led to a diversion program for fi rst-time off enders to provide timely consequences for fi rst-time off enders.

Don’t take it from me on the state of our courts. Gov. Gen. David Johnston, a law professor before being appointed the Queen’s rep-resentative in Canada, gave a speech in August in which he ripped lawyers for violat-ing their social contract with

the public with unacceptable delays.

“We enjoy a monopoly to practice law,” Johnston told the Canadian Bar Association meeting. “In return, we are duty-bound to serve our cli-ents competently, to improve justice and to continuously create the good. Th at’s the deal.”

As usual, the political debate is nearly sterile. Th e NDP wants more judges, pros-ecutors, sheriff s and court-houses. Pour more money in, just like the school and health systems, says the party that hasn’t had a new idea in 30 years.

Bond did propose a new idea last week. Probation orders with conditions will soon be available for those charged with public drunken-ness under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act rather than the Criminal Code. But they would still have to go to court.

Perhaps the government could take a cue from their recent revision of impaired driving laws, giving police the ability to assess fi nes and impound vehicles on the spot. Perhaps by the time the next big drunken riot starts to brew, cops would actually be able to off er consequences.

Going around the court system is their best bet these days.

TV stunts won’t solve court problems

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s View Yet more taxes?Transit funding needs future thinking too

So Metro Vancouver mayors have collectively decided that yet again, property taxes in those member municipalities will go up, as will another levy on gasoline.

Don’t you think they’d get it … that people are sick and tired of more taxes?

Don’t you think they could have been a litt le more innova-tive in their revenue generation ideas?

For instance, why not create a lott ery that raises funds on an ongoing basis?

At least then a few of us might be winners. Or why not jointly get together with a private developer

and build a huge central casino. We all know how much money they generate, and the source would be ongoing.

Instead they whack property owners, though they suggest it will only be for a couple of years.

Uh huh. How oft en have we heard that? Remember income tax … it was imposed as a temporary

solution to pay off war debt. Th at started at the end of the First World War, close to 100 years ago. We are still paying the “temporary” tax, and I’m sure we will, in perpetuity.

Th ankfully so far, Metro Vancouver and its free-spending mayors end at the Abbotsford boundary with Langley.

Unfortunately, any truck that’s fueled within Metro will be adding to its cost charges, any deliveries of food, product and services to this community and all parts east of here.

So like it or not, we will be helping pay for existing and ex-panded transit services within Greater Vancouver.

I can’t fault the mayors for looking and planning for the future. But they need to apply their ‘visionary’ thinking be-yond generating revenues from existing sources.

If they want to create a people-moving future, then perhaps they should also create a money-moving fund that doesn’t involve ever-increasing taxes on an already overburdened electorate.

I can’t disagree that gett ing people out of cars and on to transit has environmental benefi t, but continually increasing the cost of fuel is but a temporary fi x that will impact every-one in the province, not just those who need or use transit.

And if we out here in the “City in the Country” — Ab-botsford — are concerned, just ask someone who lives in Aldergrove, who will have to pay all those taxes and gasoline surcharges, yet will likely not see a SkyTrain or light rail or any other form of ‘rapid’ transit for decades.

On the other hand, I wouldn’t mind contributing a buck or two a week to buy a lott ery ticket that off ers a million-dollar windfall. Th at way, I’d have the option of contributing, and for my buck I’d at least have a fi nger-crossed chance of a ben-efi t.

Paying at the pump to subsidize transit, regardless of the funding route, when there is no opportunity or provision for a benefi t, is no more or no less than a penalty for something I have no choice but to accept.

Unfortunately, though each and every one of us will pay more, thanks to surcharges (small though they may be) on grocery products and everything else trucked out here, I’m not certain there’s anything we can do about it short of en-suring we never join Metro Vancouver.

At this point there is litt le central and eastern Valley folk can do about the situation. Th at will be up to the voters of those mayors and councils to determine on Nov. 19.

And that brings me to the acknowledgement that, in fair-ness to all other contestants in the Abbotsford municipal elections, this is my last column until aft er that date.

ford News and now writes a regular column for Th e News. He is also a candidate in the upcoming Abbotsford City elections.)

Editor: When will Langley taxpayers de-

mand more from the development game?

Look at all the density squashed onto Willoughby hill. How many are happy with the result? Traffi c, schools and parking are just some of the is-sues that are not working out.

Willoughby makes it clear that the game in Langley is heavily stacked in favor of the developers. Th e citizens

who pay taxes are left holding the bag. In return for more density we are not gett ing enough parks and other com-munity assets.

In fact, few realize that Develop-ment Cost Charges do not pay the full cost of development so you and I are subsidizing this mess.

Th e Latimer plan presented at the open house on Oct. 5 off ers more of the same. More density, not enough back for the community.

If Brookswood is opened up for de-velopment things promise to be even worse. Recently council approved a bizarre scheme to allow developers to pay consultants to design Brook-swood neighbourhood plans. Does anyone really think this will work out well for the community?

Other communities are demanding more from developers. Why is the Township not doing the same?

Doug McFee, Langley

Editor:Like many other people in the

Fraser Valley, I am fed up with be-ing charged for public transporta-tion and not having any useable service. I have started buying my gas over the border in Abbotsford, where the transit levy is not ap-plied.

I wondered if this was saving me, or the queue of other motorists at Fraser Highway and LeFeuvre Road, any money. So I made a spreadsheet to calculate how far you can drive to fi ll up with the cheaper gas.

I got fi gures on gas tank sizes, diff erence in gas price, fuel con-sumption and other factors, and I calculated that, for both a compact car and a full-size SUV, you can drive approx 40 to 45 kilometres

to get gas and break even on a fi ll-up with the 13- to 14-cent diff er-ence in price that usually exists.

Th is means that if you live any-where in Langley except Walnut Grove, you are within about 20 ki-lometres of the gas stations across the Abbotsford border. It breaks even or saves you money to go there to fi ll your tank.

For me, I do some other shop-ping out Ott er and Aldergrove way and I get gas at the same time.

Sorry about this, Langley mer-chants. I suggest that you write to your MLA and your local council-lors to tell them what I am doing. It is costing you money, because there are lots of people doing the same. Th is is in addition to those who are going to the U.S. to get gas and do their family shopping.

For me, this is both a money-saving and a protest measure. Pay-ing a toll on the only toll bridge in B.C. every time I drive to visit my daughter was the fi nal straw for me.

If the revenues fall short on this gas tax, it may fi nally force the provincial government and Trans-Link to develop an equitable and long-term funding formula for public transportation that truly benefi ts the region, not just the favoured bits.

By the way, when the extra two cents goes on the levy next spring, I calculate that it will become worth your while to drive out to Abbotsford and fi ll up if you live in Cloverdale and Walnut Grove as well. Silly, isn’t it?

Jeremy Smith, Fort Langley

Shop Aldergrove, save money on gas

Editor:With the municipal elections

around the corner, many people will put their name in the hat to run for council.

While it’s great to see people involved in local politics, when it comes time to put an “X” on the bal-

let we should be electing people that will make a positive impact in our community.

Running for council is not an easy task and we should be voting for outstanding members of our com-munity that are active in making our neighbourhoods bett er.

It is easy to be swept away by can-didates, both new and incumbent, that promise lower taxes, improved service, and sun in the winter.

We need to be voting for people that have a vision for our commu-nity that is grounded in reality.

Nathan Pachal, Langley

Th ink about it

What kind of community planning is this?

Tolls unfair to working people

Editor: I am writing in regard to

the tolling of the new Port Mann Bridge. It is very un-fair to toll only two bridges without tolling all bridges, tunnels and crossings in the Metro Vancouver area.

Why not put a toll on all bridges of say, $2 per trip, and the roads and bridges would be paid for in no time, given that we have about 10 bridges plus one tunnel.

Th e Port Mann Bridge is part of the Trans-Canada highway and this will be the only tolled section from coast to coast across Canada, from Vancouver to Sydney, Nova Scotia.

Th e Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges are prett y well the only way working residents of Lan-gley, Aldergrove, Abbots-ford and parts of Surrey can get into New Westminster, Burnaby, and Vancouver to work.

So I ask: Why was the new Pitt River Bridge not tolled? Why was the airport bridge not tolled? Why was the zillion-dollar Sea-to-Sky Highway (taking the rich to their ski chalets) not tolled? Also, how about the new Kicking Horse Pass Bridge near Golden which was just opened, where is its toll?

Oh, I forgot. Th ose of us who can only aff ord to live across the river are the poor working ‘Joes,’ and we have no clout in the government or any political power.

Th us we, the working people in Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford, have to pay.

M. Gosse, Langley

Dispensary not the best

Editor: Th ere are a few reasons

why the Langley City medi-cal marijuana dispensary is not nessessarily best for our community.

It is not a not-for-profi t organization. It is a for profi t business. Th ere is no board of directors.

Th e profi ts are all going to one executive director, and not other programs related to health. Th e dispens-ing fee doesn’t correspond with Health Canada’s regu-lations, and Randy Caine is not a medical user.

Transit dinosaur is sucking taxpayers dryEditor:Why Skytrain? What is wrong with

LRT? As much as I respect Mayor Diane

Watt s for what she has done for Sur-rey, if I lived in Surrey, I would not vote for her. However, as she already has the seat as Mayor again it’s a moot point. She can now vote anyway she wants. And as Surrey is already part of the Skytrain system, they can only benefi t from any fi nancial subsidies to help with ‘improvements’ to con-necting to Skytrain. Th ey already have a plan.

Th is two cent increase on gas tax will work exponentially on every-

thing we do or buy or use, so in fact, it is not truly a two cent increase it will be a lot more. More to buy food, more to use services, more to live. Every-thing thing that uses gasoline..trucks to deliver gasoline, fruit and veggies, auto parts, groceries, pizza, Chinese food, school bus service, HandiDart service, pick up of your garbage, and even your dog poop ... everything will now have an increase as a result of this ‘litt le 2 cent’ increase.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a money tree in my backyard.

And then there is the increase in property taxes. Now we have to pay a ‘limited time’ average increase of

$23 a year more so the TriCities can have an over-priced Skytrain transit system.

Research has shown that the Skytrain system doesn’t work and it doesn’t pay for itself. It’s a dinosaur and it’s sucking us dry. What is wrong with Light Rapid Transit?

Taxpayers are not mushrooms. We have moved outside of the box and are watching carefully how our duly elected offi cials (who are on our payroll) are looking aft er our best interests. We want information, ne-gotiation and facilitation, not dicta-torship.

D. Atkinson, Langley

Is BC Hydro’s plan really all that ‘smart’?Editor: What does Tom Fletcher have

against people who have suff ered re-actions to Smart Meter radiation?

He knows that the W.H.O. has classifi ed the radiation as a possible cancer risk, and he should know that electrohypersensitivity is a disability recognized by the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

Th ousands of people with EHS, compromised immune systems, heart problems and other health is-sues have become ill as a result of the mandatory installation of wireless Smart Meters.

Mr. Fletcher seems to have con-vinced himself that these people are united in some plot to threaten the politics and profi ts of the Smart Me-

ter project. Perhaps he thinks the pets and

plants that have shown negative ef-fects of Smart Meter radiation are conspiring as well.

Or maybe he’s just a bully who thinks people with medical condi-tions that make them more suscep-tible to radiation are an easy target.

An Aldergrove company whose worker was electrocuted on the roof of a White Rock home 2½ years ago has been fi ned more than $3,500 in connection with the fatality.

According to information in a recent WorkSafe BC report, L.S. Gutt er Tech Ltd. was assessed a $3,598.86 penalty last May for fail-

ing to determine the voltage of near-by power lines or the distance to be maintained from them to ensure safety of the work; failing to provide workers with the necessary instruc-tion, training and supervision; and failing to provide two young workers an orientation regarding specifi c haz-ards at the worksite.

Th ose and other violations result-

ed in the worker’s death, the report states.

A 23-year-old Burnaby man was killed May 4, 2009, when a 52-foot section of gutt er he was carrying struck a 14,000-volt overhead power line. Th e victim was part of a three-man crew working in the 15200-block of Victoria Avenue at the time. Th e gutt er struck the wire – which

was about 12 feet from the eave near where the crew was working – as the men were putt ing it into place.

Despite fi refi ghters’ eff orts to revive him, the worker was pro-nounced dead at the scene. A second worker was taken to hospital.

At the time, WorkSafe BC spokes-man Scott McCloy described the incident as “a preventable fatality.”

He noted regulations prohibit any work that places workers or equip-ment within 10 feet (three metres) of power lines.

Th e tragedy was the eighth such death in B.C. since 2004.

Th e penalty – imposed two years to the day aft er the incident – was among 60 levied in April and May; of those, four involved fatalities.

Langley relaxes on questions to the boardProposed restrictions on questions

from the public at Langley School Board meetings have been soft ened in response to objections the new rules would violate constitutional freedom-of-speech rights.

Th e teachers’ union, support staff and Langley District Parent Advi-sory Council (DPAC) all fi led lett ers of protest against two sections of the proposed new rules, one that would forbid any “individual or group” from raising the same topic more than once every three months during the public

question period at the end of board meetings and one that would ban questioners from referring to matt ers “under grievance.” Th e contentious clauses appeared to be an att empt to prevent interested groups from rehash-ing old controversies at meetings.

At their Sept 20 meeting, trustees voted to remove the one-topic-every-three-months limit and added lan-guage to make it clear the restriction on grievances only means union member complaints where privacy must be re-spected. -Dan Ferguson, Black Press

Flooding: Preventative MaintenanceWhile Township crews routinely inspect culvert trash racks and storm systems to make sure they are functioning effi ciently, conditions can change rapidly during storm season.You can do your part to reduce fl ooding risks by completing these simple preventative maintenance measures:• Clear nearby curbs and catch basins of leaves and debris,

especially during heavy rain, as water running off the street will carry more leaves and debris into the curb.

• Do not rake leaves from your property or boulevard onto the street or into open ditches.

• Collect and compost leaves on-site or bag them for future pick-up.• Clear debris that has collected in driveway culverts resulting in

blockages and check ditches for blockages.To report fl ooding problems that are not directly related to your property or to report fl ooding occurring on municipal property, phone 604.532.7300 between 8:30am and 4:30pm, Monday through Friday or call 604.543.6700 after hours.



It’s a very late season for cranberry producers this year but Joanne Hanson managed to fi nd a handful for the Cranberry Festival at Fort Langley on Thanksgiving weekend. Cranberries were a very important commodity in the early days of the Hudson Bay Company, even more important than salmon in tade overseas.

Pumpkin patch buys school mealsAldergrove Star

Rotarians are once again joining forces with ghosts and goblins for two days of pumpkin fever madness.

On Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 15 and 16, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, the Rotary Club of Langley pres-ents Big-R Pumpkin Patch Days to raise funds for the meal programs in Langley schools.

Th e entire family is invited to come out to the haunted Big-R Pump-kin Patch Days at Apex Secondary School, located at Fraser Highway and 244 Street to buy their Hallow-een pumpkin, and then stick around to enjoy all the fun and entertain-ment.

Th e Big-R Pumpkin Patch was started last year by Rotary Club of Langley project director Jimmy See, along with Susanna Eppich, principal of Apex Secondary School in Langley. Th ey are hosting the event to raise

funds to keep the hot meal programs going in Langley Schools.

“Here’s a chance to support your local school meal programs, so come for your pumpkin and help keep the hunger ghouls from haunting our kids,” said See.

“Bring the entire family and aft er you’ve bought your pumpkin, stick around for a hayride or check out the pett ing zoo, you can also visit the haunted house or the jumping castle. Th ere will also be hot dogs and ham-burgers available.”

Langley School District Founda-tion executive director Susan Cairns welcomed the idea.

“Th e funds raised during Big-R Pumpkin Patch Days help us fund meal programs in the schools,” she said. “Hundreds of children in our district come to school without having had breakfast and without a packed lunch.”

Th e Kodiaks came out on top of a penalty strewn game Friday night at the Abbotsford Pilots with a 3-2 win.

Th e penalties were decidedly lopsid-ed with the Kodiaks gett ing two goals on nine power plays while the Pilots scored once on three power plays.

Th e Pilots’ Matt hew Genovese opened the scoring in the fi rst period on a power play at 1:53 but the Kodiaks took the lead early in the second with one from Th omas Hardy at 1:16, assist-ed by Matt hew Luongo and Taylor Christopher, followed by a power play at 4:46 by Ryan Veillet, assisted by Robert Jang and Colby Rosner.

Th e Pilots evened it up early in the third with a short-handed goal by Luke Venema, however, the Pilots were the only team in the penalty box in the third, including three game misconducts, and that cost them.

Th e Kodiaks scored on another power play at 15:17 by Rosner, assisted by Veillet and Colton Precourt.

Th e Pilots outshot the Kodiaks 34-24 that night but Ross Baadsvik earned the game’s third star for stopping 32 of those shots. Pilots’ Kevin Lourens and Travis Grewal earned the fi rst and second stars, respectively.

Th e Aldergrove Kodiaks piled on the pressure and outshot the visiting Grandview Steelers but were only able to fi nd the back of the net once in their

fourth junior B hockey game of the sea-son Oct. 5.

Th e Steelers’ Kyle Golz opened the scoring at 12:02 in the fi rst and once more with Simon Horlick on a power play at 2:13 in the second period before Kodiak Ryan Veillet took the puck all the way to the Steelers’ net and tipped in the unassisted beauty at 5:46.

Th e Kodiaks then turned on the heat in a relentless assault on the Steelers in the third but despite three power plays and intense play they couldn’t get the puck past Steelers’ keeper David Banka.

Th e Kodiaks pulled goalie Mark Menicucci in the dying minute for a six-man advantage but the Steelers’ Golz managed to get hold of the puck and knock in an empty-nett er one second before the buzzer ended the game.

Th e Kodiaks outshot the visitors 42-35 that night, but were unable to score on nine power plays while the Steelers scored on one of four.

Golz, Veillet and Banka earned the game’s fi rst, second and third stars, respectively.

Th is leaves the Kodiaks with a 2-2 record aft er four games this season. Th e Kodiaks host the Pilots at Aldergrove Arena, Oct. 12 before hitt ing the road to Port Moody to face the Black Panthers on Saturday, Oct. 15 and then hosting the Panthers at Aldergrove Arena on Wednesday, Oct. 19, 7:15 p.m.

It takes a lot of stu-dents to build a sports team, be it soccer, basket-ball or even volleyball.

But there’s one game that can tolerate a group of four: Golf.

And that’s one of main reasons the Agassiz Centre for Education is starting up a golf pro-gram.

Th roughout the year, students at ACE will be working with Bridal Falls Golf Course’s profession-al, Jennifer Gregain.

And to end off the year of perfecting their swing, they’re starting up a tour-nament. Th ey’re inviting other alternate programs to take part, as a way to introduce the game of golf to students while allowing them to compete against other schools.

Th e fi rst annual ACE Open for Alternate Programs will be held June 13, 2012 at Bridal Falls.

Alternate schools are

just too small to compile traditional sports teams, administrator Sandy Balascak said.

And golf is one of those games where play-ers can develop focus, while charting their own personal growth. Both are important to students of alternate programs.

Balascak came up with the idea when she took up the game person-ally last year. She trains with professional golfer Maureen Bruce, CPGA, in Abbotsford.

Balascak can help other program adminis-trators link up with golf pros, and invites each of them to contact her to learn more about the ACE Open.

Th e golf lessons are a part of ACE’s physical education curriculum, and even the tournament will be held during school hours.

Anyone interested can phone Sandy at 604-796-9496 or email:

When Leonard Maltin was persuaded by uku-lele-playing friends to watch Th e Mighty Uke, the famous movie critic remarked that the high-light “was learning about the school program in Langley, Vancouver, that introduces kids to strum-ming and, before long, has them playing Flight of the Bumblebee and the William Tell Overture.”

Maltin called the bonus segments of the documentary, which fea-tured the Langley Ukulele Ensemble, “an absolute delight.”

Langley residents who have not yet had a simi-lar experience with the

four-stringed instrument, which got its name from the Hawaiian for ‘dancing fl ea,’ will have the chance at the Langley Ukulele Ensemble’s 30th anniver-sary concert on Saturday, Oct. 15.

Th e event, which begins at 7:30 p.m., will take place at the Bell Centre, 6250 144 St., in Surrey. For tickets, call 604-507-6355, or buy online at www.bellper-formingartscentre.com

Th e concert will fea-ture not only the current members of the ensemble, but many who belonged to the group over the past three decades.

Th ese include James Hill, and Paul and Mark Luongo, whose father,

Peter, is the music direc-tor of the LUE. Other performers include J.

Chalmers Doane, whom Peter Luongo describes as “the father of the Canadian ukulele,” and Exit 58, a trio of for-mer ensemble mem-bers, Kendra Simonett o (formerly Croft ), Chris Parsons and Laura Day.

Simonett o said she is looking forward to seeing the old alumni members, some of whom she hasn’t seen for more than 10 years. “It will also be great fun to be back on stage playing the ukes with the ensemble,” she said.
