Town rallying around Todd

ALDERGROVE STAR

By KELSEY KLASSENAldergrove Star

“Todd is going for chemo.” Th at simple statement, exchanged between friends in Septem-

ber while waiting for their girls to get out of school, has sparked months of fundraising eff orts within the close-knit community of Ross Elementary.

Renee Barrett , mother of a small, hardworking West Abbotsford family, had no idea that allowing two women at her eldest daugh-ter’s school in on her heartbreaking news would amount to an outpouring of support over the past few months.

Upon learning that Renee’s husband Todd had been diagnosed on June 23 with Stage 4 cancer, fellow parent Lara Rempel and grandparent Gloryann Houle realized the seriousness of Renee’s admission and were motivated to take action on behalf of her young family.

Th ey organized a series of fundraisers through the school, in-cluding a Ford Drive One 4 UR Community test drive event that raised several thousand dollars at the start of fall.

With Todd hospitalized again and unable to work, the duo are now reaching out to Abbotsford residents for help.

“Th ey truly are such wonderful people,” said Houle. “If the ta-bles were turned, Todd and Renee would be doing whatever they could to help someone in need. Th ey are both strong, courageous, loving people. Th ey won’t ask for help.”

Th e outdoorsy couple, both in their late 30s, are long-time resi-dents of Abbotsford. Todd, formerly of Merritt , moved here in 1991, and Renee from Aldergrove a few years later. Together for 15 years and married for nine, they spoke of always wanting a fam-ily, and are blessed with daughters Macie, 6, and Chase, 3. When asked to talk about her husband, Renee’s fi rst response was to tell of his love for their daughters.

“Todd is such an amazing father and friend. Th e girls are so lucky to have such an involved, dedicated and loving father,” said his wife. “Th e girls are his world and he would do anything for them.”

Th e Barrett s, who friends say enjoy camping and dirtbiking, do everything together. Th e aggressive cancer, so prevalent the pri-mary source is unknown, has only brought them closer together as a family. Diagnosed aft er Todd found a lump in his neck, the cancer is spreading quickly, according to Renee.

He was hospitalized for two weeks in July, but treatment was unsuccessful and he is currently back at the Abbotsford Cancer Centre for additional chemotherapy. While it has been a “very scary, sad time,” their att itude remains positive as they rely on each other for support.

“We take it one day at a time and enjoy all the family time we can. Th e girls are so young … they really don’t understand,” wor-ries Renee. “We pray this one works wonders for Todd.”

Renee left her job of 14 years as a care aide for Tabor Home to

Santa Claus and his help-ers were the highlight of the “Light Up Aldergrove” Christ-mas Parade through down-town on Saturday evening. Big crowds turned out for the day’s family oriented events and lined the streets, bundled up in heavy coats and blan-kets, to view the 50 fl oats in the evening parade.

oversee her husband’s treatment, and Todd has been unable to return to his work with Dynamic Windows and Doors, where he has been employed since 1999.

With both of them off work, Renee admits their mortgage and normal household bills have been a huge stress, but the hardest part is watch-ing the man she loves suff er.

“He is normally so active, happy and full of energy. Since gett ing sick he is always in pain ... but tries to put on a brave smile every day for us.”

Renee says she is extremely grate-ful for the help from their work, fam-ily and friends.

However, Rempel and Houle are hoping that more can be done for the

family. Th ey set up a CIBC bank ac-count this week to collect donations (Institute #010, Transit #08820, Ac-count #87-24296, Name: Gloryann Houle TR Barrett ).

Houle is calling on members of the

business community to step forward with additional fundraising sugges-tions.

“We could use ideas. It breaks my heart that such terrible things can happen to such a young family.”

Th e Bertrand Watershed Education Team project in Aldergrove is the fi rst recipient of the B.C. Water Sustainability Endowment Fund Grant. Th e grant is provided by the Real Estate Foundation of B.C.

Bertrand Watershed Education Team, or B-WET, was designed by Langley Environmental Partners Society (LEPS) to connect the community to its local watershed and improve both stewardship practices and the health of the eco-system.

In addition, B-WET received $40,000 from Vancity’s enviroFund. B-WET and LEPS are among 15 innovative organizations working on local environmental issues which recently gathered at a celebration at the Vancouver Maritime Museum to honour this year’s Vancity’s envi-roFund recipients, who together will receive more than half a million dollars.

Bertrand Creek is home to Coho salmon, and two endan-gered species of resident fi sh, the Salish Sucker and Nooksack dace.

Th e LEPS team will contact all 225 residents who live adjacent to Bertrand Creek and provide them with information and opportunities to improve the way they interact with the stream.

In addition to pro-viding information to streamside residents, the project team will undertake fi ve riparian (streamside) enhance-ment projects, remove invasive species from riparian areas, remove trash from streams, mark urban storm drains and host walk-ing tours and other educational events

LEPS will engage with stream-keepers, Scouts and Guides, schools, and other groups that are interested in making the connec-tion between human behaviour and the health of the watershed, whether it be water quality, endan-gered species, or the richness of the overall ecosystem.

Th e Real Estate Foundation pro-

duced a short video of the B-WET project, which had its fi rst show-ing at the 2011 Land Awards Gala in Vancouver on Nov. 3. Th e gala

was open to the public and proceeds are once again directed to the endowment fund. To view the video, go to htt p://www.you-t u b e . c o m / u s e r /RealEstateFdnBC

Th e B.C. Water S u s t a i n a b i l i t y Endowment Fund was established in 2010 in conjunction with the inaugural Land Awards Gala. Th e income gen-erated from the fund

will support non-profi t activities related to water sustainability in the province of British Columbia in perpetuity. Donations to the chari-table fund are accepted on an ongo-ing basis. For more information, visit www.refb c.com

THU FRI SAT SUN


Aldergrove Star N E W S

By NATASHA JONESBlack Press

Based on the principles of fair-ness and to ensure businesses to not receive an unfair competitive advantage, the Community Charter prohibits municipalities from giving fi nancial assistance to businesses.

On that premise, Township coun-cil agreed that there will be no relax-ing of the fees requested by a pro-duction company hired by Oprah

Winfrey Network Canada.Th at company, Force Four

Production, formed MDM Media to produce Million Dollar Neighbourhood in Aldergrove. In October, producer Keith Giesbrecht told Township council that if fi lm permit fees were relaxed, the compa-ny would return the almost $16,000 in savings to the community of Aldergrove.

On Monday aft ernoon, Giesbrecht

said that Force Four is investing $125,000 in fi nancial advisors and assistance to Aldergrove to show resi-dents how to reduce debt, increase income, and fi nd money they didn’t know they had — including funds owed to them by the Canada Revenue Agency. He added that production employees have injected into the Aldergrove economy more than $80,000 in food, gas and other necessities.

Residents have formed a car-pooling club, are compiling a coupon book to encourage local shopping, and organizing transportation links to help residents fi nd work at Gloucester Estates.

Giesbrecht said that the produc-tion company had already paid the

Township $12,595 in permits, expects to pay $3,000 to $4,000 more, and pledges to return it all to Aldergrove if the fees are waived.

Giesbrecht assured that profi ts “don’t go into Oprah’s pocket.”

Th e series has completed fi lming and debuts on OWN in January.

No tax break for ‘Million Dollar Neighbourhood’


In rural areas of Langley, the lack of fi re hydrants poses a signifi cant chal-lenge for fi refi ghters.

It also means higher insurance costs for residences and businesses.

Now, following a rigorous documen-tation and training process, the Township fi re department has earned a Superior Tanker Shutt le Service Accreditation from the Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS).

Th is accreditation proved that fi re crews can not only quickly transport water to a remote rural area, but also maintain an eff ective supply as they fi ght fi res in areas that do not have hydrants or are not close to a municipal water net-work.

Residents within the recognized area can expect to save 30 to 40 per cent in the fi re protection portion of their home insurance.

Th e good news was delivered to Township council at its meeting Monday.

Pat Walker, the Township’s fi re chief prevention offi cer in charge of fi re pre-vention, told council that over the past two years, fi refi ghters and other offi cials from the department have worked hard to achieve the required fl ow of 900 litres per minute within fi ve minutes of the fi rst fi re truck arriving at the scene of a blaze and maintain that fl ow uninter-rupted for two hours.

On Nov. 22, the Township fi re department undertook the fi rst round

of accreditation testing in south Langley. Th is involved 25 fi refi ghters and 10 fi re trucks.

“While our fi re department had the capacity to eff ectively fi ght most fi res even before achieving accreditation, the certifi cation offi cially recognizes our competence and will result in lower insurance premiums for many home-owners in our rural area,” Walker said.

Th e Township has seven fi re halls that serve six urban communities and a large rural area over 316 square kilometres.

Walker said that to be accredited, the Township must be able to provide a “superior tanker shutt le service” which is the equivalent to having the protection of a hydrant, and regularly practise deliv-ering the service.

Walker noted that residents pay more for fi re protection insurance because insurers see it as a liability for those who do not live near fi re hydrants or munici-pal water systems.

He added that it costs between $450,000 and $500,000 per kilometre to extend water services.

Walker said that proving that the Township has the fi refi ghters, resources, and training to handle fi res in all areas of the community “became a real team-building experience for our crews.”

He said that south Langley residents who are renewing their homeowners’ insurance should ask their agents to ver-ify if they live within the accredited area and are eligible for the reduced rate.

Other rural areas will be tested for accreditation in the future, Walker said.

Fire fi ghters provide rural homeowners with insurance cut

Parkside Centennial Elementary in Aldergrove is one of three Langley public schools which are receiving a total of $141,387 in reimbursements for playground equipment.

Th e funding is part of $2.4 mil-lion to reimburse Parent Advisory Councils throughout the province

that recently purchased playground equipment with funds they raised.

Th e schools in Langley School District which will receive a play-ground reimbursement are Parkside Centennial Elementary ($50,000), Uplands Elementary ($41,387) and Willoughby Elementary ($50,000).

“From health to team skills, play-grounds are integral to early devel-

opment in students. Th is funding will help schools make develop-ing these lifelong lessons safer and more fun,” said Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman.

School districts will be reim-bursed directly by the Ministry of Education, and will be responsible for ensuring their PACs are reim-bursed appropriately.

VICTORIA – Att orney General Shirley Bond is com-ing off another busy week, announcing new sheriff and clerk training for B.C.’s consti-pated court system.

Th en Bond joined Premier Christy Clark to introduce B.C. to another kind of sheriff , the former Los Angeles dis-trict att orney best known for busting up one of the biggest nests of crooked cops in U.S. history. Richard Rosenthal went on to clean house as independent monitor of police forces in Portland and Denver, and now he takes on B.C.’s troubled police patch-work, which has been losing the public’s confi dence along with the courts.

Bond’s other ministry, Public Safety and Solicitor General, announced its senior offi cials had selected the next commanding offi cer for the RCMP in B.C. It is unprec-edented for a province to do that, but as B.C. gets ready to sign a new 20-year contract with the federal force, Bond and Clark are trying to dem-onstrate that they, not Ott awa, are now wearing the pants in this relationship. We’ll see.

As the police and court legs of B.C.’s justice system were being strengthened, Auditor General John Doyle released his latest report on the shaky third leg, corrections.

In a masterpiece of under-statement, Doyle’s offi ce headlined its news release “Opportunities for improve-

ment in community correc-tions.”

You have likely heard about the overfl owing B.C. jail system, where even segre-gation inmates are now being doubled up, as the long wait continues for a new jail in the Okanagan.

But as Doyle’s report sets out, nine out of 10 convicted adult off enders aren’t in custo-dy. Th ey’re on house arrest or probation, many with court-ordered conditions to report their whereabouts, stay away from their victims, stay sober and complete various reha-bilitation programs. Many are violent. Th ere are currently 24,000 of them, an all-time high and an increase of 28 per cent in the past six years.

As with the jail population, a larger proportion have men-tal illness as well as addiction. And Doyle found that only about a third of them actually complete the programs they are supposed to take to pre-vent re-off ending.

Corrections branch offi -cials say their program for male spousal abusers has a success rate of up to 50 per cent. Th at’s a prett y good result for an awful crime, the second-largest category of off enders aft er impaired driv-ing. But that success rate only applies to off enders who actu-ally complete the program.

Doyle found several cases where convicted abusers breached their orders to stay away from a spouse, and were

not returned to court. Th ere are undoubtedly more, but B.C.’s 450 probation offi cers can’t keep all the fi les up to date, much less punish every breach of conditions. Training hasn’t kept up either – fewer than half of current probation offi cers have completed the ministry’s anti-spousal abuse course.

Th e NDP deplores all of this and has decades of prac-tice doing so. Th e part about off enders not completing their rehabilitation reminded me of Dave Barrett in the late 1960s.

In his autobiography, Barrett tells how he got into politics because prisoners in B.C. jails weren’t able to com-plete vocational programs. Barrett was a social worker at the old Haney Correctional Institution.

By 1970 he was Opposition leader, demanding that the W.A.C. Bennett government shut down Haney, by then notorious for trades training that prisoners weren’t locked up long enough to fi nish. Each inmate was costing B.C. more than $4,000 a year, a huge sum wasted, Barrett thundered in the legislature.

Today, Doyle calculates B.C. jails cost $71,000 per inmate per year, or $194 a day. Community supervision spending works out to $7 a day.

Walter Levy Home Decorating Contest winners were Scott , Natasha, Kendall, Gage, and Tanner Worsfold at 27792 Pull-man Ave.

Each winner received a beautiful tree ornament and the Wors-folds will have their name engraved on the perpetual Walter Levy trophy (currently housed at Bob’s Bar and Grill.)

Beware of Ultra-Low Rates

Financial institutions sometimes advertise ultra-low mortgage rates to get customers in the door. While low rates are great, sometimes it pays to dig a little deeper...

There are many important aspects to consider when obtaining a mortgage, rate being the most obvious. However, some low-rate products contain restrictions that may cost you more money down the road should you ever need to break your mortgage. For instance, some mortgages come with a 12 month interest penalty if you break your mortgage early. In other words, a remaining mortgage balance of $300,000 at a rate of 4.0% could cost almost $12,000 in penalties if you chose to break your mortgage!

While this mortgage may be a perfect fi t for some home owners, for others it may not fi t their needs at all. This is just one more reason why it pays to seek the knowledgeable and helpful advice of an Accredited Mortgage Profes-sional when shopping for your mortgage. My goal is to arrange the mortgage that fi ts your needs, your budget and your lifestyle. As a professional mort-gage broker, I’m looking out for your best interest!

Th e bank balances of Langley Township council just got a lot fat-ter. Mayor Jack Froese’s annual sal-ary leaped by 12.6 per cent, while the stipends of councillors shot up by 19 percent.

On Dec. 1, days before they were formally sworn into offi ce, the mayor and eight councillors re-ceived an automatic pay increase.

Mayor Jack Froese’s salary jumped by almost $1,000 per month, rising to $105,456 from $93,724.

Th e salaries of Councillors David Davis, Grant Ward, Kim Richter, Bob Long, Bev Dornan, Steve Fer-guson, Charlie Fox and Michelle Sparrow rose by almost $7,000 a year to $42,936 from $36,043.

Th e minimum wage rose $9.50 an hour on Nov. 1, giving those at that rate an annual salary of under $20,000 a year, for a 40-hour work week.

All members of council either have other jobs or are collecting government pensions. (Fox is a re-tired Langley School District prin-cipal; Froese and Ward are retired

police offi cers).Based on the remuneration pro-

cess approved by council in 2006, a review was conducted at the be-ginning of this year, following a process was started in 2000 when a Remuneration Task Force was es-tablished to review and report on council’s remuneration.

In August, 2000, council ap-proved the recommendation of the task force that salaries be based on market surveys every three years to determine the 60th percentile of direct pay rates for the jobs of mayor and councillors. Th e mar-

ket surveys focus on the same six municipalities.

In February, 2006, council ap-proved the remuneration process, passing a motion ‘that council reaf-fi rm the implementation of each three-year salary review will com-mence on the fi rst day of the each subsequent term; and that review be conducted in the fi rst quarter of each election year.’

One third of the salaries are tax-free. Mayor and council typically work 11 months of the year, as council typically holds no meet-ings in August.

Editor:Aft er the recent NDP conven-

tion Adrian Dix is rubbing hands at the prospect of forming the next provincial government. Mr. Dix would reconfi gure B.C. according to his particular strain of political thought. Any sort of NDP provin-cial government in B.C. is a fright-ening thing to consider. Contrary to the cultivated myth, the NDP’s policies would actually harm the poor and middle class.

Th e NDP has not had an original idea since its formation, and the two or three that they hold have proven to be ineff ective constructs

to operate a government. Th ey measure social responsibility by the number of government run programs and the amount of money spent on them, as opposed to how many people are really helped. Th is speaks to the self-righteous arrogance of the NDP and Mr. Dix, who believe that they have cornered the market on compassion.

I acknowledge the public’s bitt er resentment of the Liberals in B.C. Th ey have exhibited many of the behaviours of a government in power so long that it thinks that it can get anything past the public.

Th is contempt was aided in part by an ineff ectual offi cial opposi-tion.

Th e general public in B.C. ap-pears to crave some honesty and credibility in a provincial govern-ment. In his previous stint here in an NDP government Mr. Dix showed that he has a proclivity for being economical with the truth.

People who want to punish the BC Liberals by throwing them out of offi ce would only be hurting themselves. Nobody can aff ord to have the NDP running this great province of B.C.

Tim Opper, Aldergrove

Honesty, credibility needed

Editor:While Earth’s eco-systems are the

last (or near the last) concern on most surveyed Canadians’ minds, the economy and jobs are at (or near) the top.

Why do so many people fail to seriously consider, ‘What good is creating or preserving businesses,

jobs and a strong economy when the planet is deathly polluted and people are gett ing sick and dying because of mass industrial and ve-hicular pollution?’

Hmmm. Th en again, perhaps that said

majority would ask me, ‘What good are clean and healthy global

eco-systems when there are no jobs from which people can earn the monies to aff ord to take a vacation and breathe the fresh air in the lush forests?’

You can’t have one without the other, they might say.

Oh, now I get it.Frank G. Sterle, Jr., White Rock

Oh, now I get it...

Christmas comes early for Township council

Between a rock...

Editor:MLA Rich Coleman says,

“I’ve said it clearly - we’re not going to time-of-use (smart meters)... for now.”

Please note that there will be an election in approxi-mately 18 months and I won’t be surprised to fi nd out that aft er the election smart meters will be set for ‘time-of-use’. Th is govern-ment played this game with us back then (HST) and there is no reason to think that they won’t do it again with smart meters.

Th e diff erence, however, is that in this case, we don’t have the option of a vote. We will be penalized for using this product at a time of day that best suits our needs, late aft ernoon and evening.

Talk about being caught between a rock and a hard place.

Residents pour in to W.C. Blair wave-pool celebrationAldergrove Star

A quarter century has passed since W.C. Blair Recreation Centre opened its doors and on December 10 more than 500 people came out to celebrate the facility’s 25th anniversary.

Th e Township of Lang-

ley held a public pool party to mark the milestone for W.C. Blair, a unique and innovative facility which features the province’s fi rst wave pool.

Th e celebration included free events and activities, demonstrations, birthday cake, displays of memo-

rabilia, and - of course – swimming in the famous waves.

“W.C. Blair has been growing with the commu-nity for 25 years and it was wonderful to see so many people come out to enjoy this event, share memo-ries, and look at what the

facility will be off ering in the future,” said Township community recreation manager Lesley Visser.

“A number of people re-member being here when W.C. Blair fi rst opened and now their children are the next generation to enjoy the fun and educational

programs the centre pro-vides.”

One of the highlights of the celebration was the unveiling of a mural that was created by local young artists and the Langley Arts Council through a Nothing Without Eff ort Township grant.

A 37-year-old Langley woman has told police that she awoke at the Bradner rest stop in Abbotsford aft er a night of heavy drinking in Surrey, and has no recollection of how she got there.

Th e woman said she awoke to fi nd her clothes askew and that she was missing jewelry, her iPod, a cellphone and her iden-tifi cation.

Police in Abbotsford are now trying to piece together what happened between the hours of 9 p.m. on Dec. 1 and 8 a.m. on Dec. 2 to deter-mine if a criminal off ence occurred.

Const. Ian MacDonald

said the woman was drinking in the Central City Brew Pub in Surrey on the evening of Dec. 1, aft er having arrived via public transit. Th e pub is located in the busy area near the Surrey Central SkyTrain station.

MacDonald said the woman left the pub at about 9 p.m., according to surveillance video that police have reviewed.

“We are able to say with a great deal of con-fi dence that she left that brew pub, and she left by herself.”

He said the woman has no further recollec-tion of the evening. She awoke at 8 a.m. the next day on the grassy portion of the Bradner rest stop,

located on the north side of Highway 1 west of the Mt. Lehman Road inter-change.

She began walking

west and then hitchhiked home to Langley, where she contacted RCMP. Th e Abbotsford Police Department (APD) and Surrey RCMP then became involved in the investigation.

Th e matt er is now being led by the APD’s major crime unit. MacDonald said police are awaiting toxicol-ogy results to determine whether the woman had been drugged through the evening.

Detectives are also asking any witnesses to come forward who might have seen the woman or had contact with her at the pub, the rest stop or in between.

She is Caucasian, 5’ 6”, 125 pounds with long light-brown hair. She was wearing burgundy-coloured pants with a green stripe and an army-style jacket.

Anyone with informa-tion is asked to contact the Abbotsford Police at 604-859-5225 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Carey Ann PoitrasRon Dunkley Christmas Stocking launched

An Aldergrove mother, Carey Ann Poitras, is helping to raise funds, food and goods for the less fortunate in Al-dergrove and Lan-gley, in memory of a Langley City fi re-fi ghter who died in January in Seatt le, two months aft er being struck by a train.

Th e fi rst-ever Ron Dunkley Christmas Stocking has been launched and sets out to share a bit of warmth and cheer in our community this year.

Food and other essentials donated to the Christmas Stocking fund will be distributed to the homeless in Langley and Aldergrove on Christmas Eve, said Carey Poitras, one of the organizers.

“We are doing some-thing diff er-ent this year,” Poitras said, “making it our mission this Christ-mas season to bring some cheer and hope to those that have litt le of both.”

Dunkley, a Langley City fi refi ghter, died on Jan. 4 from injuries he suff ered when he was dragged by a train in Se-

att le in November, 2010.

“He was a valued member of our Langley commu-nity and his daily life was devoted to help the people in the community,” Poitras said.

“As this project was created to as-sist those in need on Christmas Eve we have chosen this name. It’s a privi-lege to honour the life of Ron who is so greatly missed by family, friends and the community of

Langley,” she said. Anyone who would like to give to the

Ron Dunkley Christmas Stocking can drop off donations at Pastime Sports and Games, 20364 Fraser Hwy. in Lan-gley City.

It pays to shop It pays to shop at Otter Co-op!at Otter Co-op!

Belinda Sharpe recently retired after over thirty-three years in the Administration Offi ce. Belinda has witnessed, as well as been a part of many changes during her time with Otter Co-op. When she started at what we refer to as “the old store” it was known as Otter District Farmers Institute. In June of 1979 we offi cially became a Co-op.One of Belinda’s fi rst jobs was printing, folding and addressing the fl yers. This was all done on the second fl oor of the Feedmill. Belinda remembers the raw fi ngers by the end of each mailing as the bundles were tied with binder twine. Things only improved from there. After learning

many numerous jobs Belinda eventually earned the position of Offi ce Manager, where she worked until her retirement at the end of September. Belinda was very popular at Otter not just because she made sure everyone got their pay

every two weeks, but also because after thirty-three plus years, her warm, welcoming personality and fun loving attitude has defi nitely been a part of what keeps the sense of family at Otter Co-op alive. Belinda and her husband Dave have chosen Lumby, B.C. as the place to start their retirement. As much as Belinda will be missed at Otter Co-op, you can’t help but be excited for them when you see how happy they are in their new home.

From everyone at Otter Co-op we wish Belinda and her husband Dave, a long and happy retirement!

It is hard to believe that only a short four and a half years have passed since I handed my reins off as the Junior Director and ventured into the life of a university student. I am happy to say that I have completed a Bachelor’s degree of Criminology at Simon Fraser University and I am again faced with entering a world that I am unfamiliar with, a world that my friends and family call the ‘real world’. While this real world is calling my name

it is hard not to look back over my career as a student, and it was a full time position, and reminisce about this part of my life that has come to a close. Eleven semesters, thirty fi ve classes and one hundred and twenty two credits later I have ended an era in my life that was overfl owing with learning, growing, and an appreciation for knowledge.I was fortunate enough to experience the Junior Director program at the Otter Co-op which is a learning experience for youth like no other. When I look back now at past Junior Directors whom I have come to know as my role from Junior Director shifted into a role as a Board Member, one element remains constant — a Junior Director at the Otter Co-op is someone who retains a desire to learn long past their term with the Co-op and far into university degrees across the lower mainland, Canada, and North America. I can say proudly that the Co-op has helped develop me into the person I am today and I am sure that it can be attributed to some of the success we have seen in past Junior Directors who

are now well on their way in reaching the ‘real world’. During my last semester of university I participated in a class that allowed students to gain valuable work experience in their fi eld of study while gaining credits toward a degree. While this program gives some students the upper hand in that they receive essential experience in a fi eld that is diffi cult to enter without experience, I fi nd the Junior Director program with Otter Co-op very similar. I was told by my work supervisor that my resume stood out amongst the lot because I had something unique. My experience with the Co-op is something that no one my age should have. It is this experience the Otter Co-op provides for youth. The uniqueness of what is garnered through the Junior Director is unquestionable and I am proud and grateful for the start I feel this program gave me.While I again enter a world of unknowns I do know that wherever this new world takes me, the Co-op will remain a constant in my life.

dial direct

My second quarter as the Otter Co-op’s Junior Director has grown immensely in excitement. The pace in which I serve has picked up much more than I had expected it to, while my interest has grown in parallel. The goals of the Co-op I have come to accept as my own and the standards of the organization have become a source of pride over the past months. The highlight of this term is most defi nitely the Board trip to Calgary.

As we waited groggy eyed and coffee deprived at the airport, my eagerness to attend the Federated Co-operatives Limited Fall Conference was anything but evident. But deep beneath my bed-longing body my mind was itching for what would be my fi rst ever business trip.

Soon enough we were into the fi rst day of the conference. First on the agenda was taking a class titled “The Multi-Generational Dynamic”. Soon, questions were being thrown toward me from my group, as well as the instructor whenever it came time to discuss Generation Y, as I was the only one that held that generation title. This seminar proved to be very useful for me. I gained crucial understanding of

generation barriers and solutions which I can apply to increase my impact on the board, as well as spread the word of the Otter Co-op to the different generations, a job I take seriously with the title I hold.

The rest of the day brought some fl exibility to the agenda. I was granted time to spend some informal socialization with the other Otter directors. This gave me the chance to catch up on some key points about Federated Co-operatives Limited as a whole and the role in which each individual co-operative holds in the greater organization, not to mention some time to get to know and grow closer to my set of mentors.

The evening banquet of the conference expanded in formality and size in comparison to the previous activities of the day. Soon after my dress shirt had come on, I was surrounded by many different directors. From the base which had been laid out for me previously, my perception of the organization grew with each face I talked to. Once again I was bombarded with questions of my position which I gladly responded to. Each director shared a distinct passion toward the Co-op, providing new inspiration and pride in every sentence they spoke.

The second and last day of the Conference brought the meeting portion. I was blown away by the level of democracy portrayed and the organized manner in which it went on. Furthermore, the passion that each speaker displayed on various topics assured me of a perfect balance of a strong democratic grasp while everyone who had a voice was heard.

As the conference drew to a close, I was left with a swarming mind, eager to take back all that I had learned. We piled onto the bus as the snow whipped across our faces; that was all the confi rmation I needed that it was time to fl y back to Langley.

Real Christmas TreesGoing Green on the Holidays

The Christmas season is upon us. Winter’s nip is in the air and the sound of carols may be heard all

around. It’s time to light up our houses in preparation for the shortest days of the year. While the centrepiece of holiday decoration is typically the Christmas tree, you may be questioning whether or not to “keep it real”.

For some the choice may be obvious. Personally, I could not imagine a Christmas dinner without the scent of spruce or pine wafting from the next room. The sheer power of tradition has kept this seasonal ritual alive for centuries. The perceived benefi ts of artifi cial trees however have driven many to introduce Pinus plasticus

into their homes.

There is certainly an appeal to the ease of storage and set-up of artifi cial trees. Gone are the worries about tree transportation, fi t, or the mess of fallen needles. Depend-ing on the cost of an artifi cial tree and how long it is kept, there may be a fi nancial incentive for going plastic. From an eco-logical and social perspective however, real trees are the obvious choice.

There is a lingering myth that artifi cial trees represent a reduction in ecological foot-print, simply because they can be reused. The reality is that, as a petroleum-based product, they are non-renewable. The majority of artifi cial trees consist of non-biodegradable, non-recyclable polyvinyl

chloride (PVC) which will ultimately end up in landfi lls. Real trees, in contrast are 100% biodegradable and completely renewable.

Christmas tree farms generally make use of degraded or unproductive land not suitable for other types of forestry or agriculture. While artifi cial trees are predominantly produced in China and shipped thousands of kilometres, the distribution of tree farms across Canada makes it easy to shop lo-cally.

Unlike artifi cial trees, real Christmas trees need not fi nd themselves in a landfi ll. Most municipalities have a mulching program for used Christmas trees. The mulch can be used in local greening projects. Old trees can also be used for fi rewood to reduce

heating costs. Contact your local municipal-ity to fi nd out what will be done with your discarded tree.

Last but not least, the process of choosing and setting-up your real Christmas tree can be a valuable family or community experience. In my family it was important that every member have a say, and a hand in the selection and decoration (even the cat would contribute, though most often destructively).

Many tree farms provide the option to harvest your own tree. If you have the time and interest you can further foster the tradition of tree collection and create a valuable outdoor experience for yourself and your family.

Aldergrove’s synchronized skaters ready to compete

By KURT LANGMANNAldergrove Star

Jordan Pughe nett ed an empty-nett er in the dying minute of the game to give him a hat trick as well as solidly seal the Aldergrove Kodiaks in fi rst place in the Harold Britt ain division.

Th e North Vancouver Wolf Pack had come to Aldergrove Arena to put up a good fi ght but went home with a 4-2 loss on Dec. 7.

Th e Pack outshot Aldergrove 46-36 but couldn’t fi nd the back of the net in six power plays. Kodiaks keeper Ross Baadsvik earned the game’s second star for stopping 44 of the tries while Pughe was named fi rst star.

Th e Kodiaks took the lead in the fi rst with a goal by Pughe at 17:30, assisted by Ryan Procyshyn and Daniel Higgs, and they never looked back.

Robert Jang scored the Kodiaks sole power play goal out of six at 4:00 of the second period, assisted by Brandon Potomak and Colton Precourt, before the Pack were able to net one at 10:58.

At 31 seconds into the third

period, Pughe scored again, assisted by Higgs and Matt hew Luongo, and 36 seconds later the Pack scored their last goal of the night. Th e Pack pulled keeper Jordan Liem in the fi nal minute for the man advantage but lost control of the puck and Pughe capitalized with the empty net shot at 19:44.

Th e Kodiaks sit at 34 points aft er 24 games (16-6-1-1), a point

ahead of rivals Abbotsford Pilots, who have 33 points aft er 24 games (16-7-1-0).

Th e Kodiaks were down two men, Th omas Hardy and Ryan Veillet, due to injuries, but the team had a full week to rest and recov-er before their game Dec. 14 at Aldergrove Arena against the Pilots (see website www.aldergrovestar.com for updates).

Snow and Ice Control: Public Safety Tips for ResidentsDuring winter snowstorms, municipal staff work diligently to deliver defi ned levels of service. Service is provided during severe and potentially dangerous weather conditions. Sometimes our best efforts can be delayed due to challenges beyond our control. Here are some ways you can help us get the job done:

• Remove vehicles parked on the road in front of your property so that snowplows and sanders are able to complete work.

• Avoid driving or delay driving whenever possible until the snowfall slows or stops entirely. Reduced traffi c provides municipal vehicles an opportunity to clear the roads.

• Do not attempt to stop municipal vehicles that are sanding, salting, or plowing. All requests for service must be made by calling 604.532.7300.

• Place garbage cans and recycling boxes on the sidewalk and/or boulevard. Remove them as soon as possible after they are emptied. Garbage and recycling services can be impacted during severe storms.

• Place snow shoveled from your sidewalk and driveway onto your lawn to the right of the driveway. This will prevent plows from plowing snow back into your driveway.

• Avoid pushing shoveled snow onto the road. As plows push to the right, snow will be pushed back into your driveway. Public and vehicular safety is compromised when snow is pushed or shoveled onto roads.

• Clear snow from the sidewalk adjacent to your property as soon as possible. This is the responsibility of all property owners.

• Clear any curb-side catch basins in front of your property so that water produced by melting snow fl ows into the basins and not into your driveway or house.

• Children and pedestrians are advised to walk on the left side of the road, facing traffi c, so they can see, hear, and avoid plow equipment and general oncoming traffi c.

• Advise children against building snow structures in snowbanks at the side of roads as children may be injured by the equipment widening the travelled road lanes.

• Advise children against playing sports on the road when roads are being sanded and plowed. This causes hazards for municipal vehicle operators and other motorists as stopping distances increase with poor road conditions.

Private contractors providing snow clearing for parking lots shall ensure that all snow plowed on a private or public parking lot remains on the originating lot. At no time should the snow be pushed out onto a public roadway or boulevard. Where snow cannot be plowed onto the originating lot, snow must be removed to an approved dump site.

Clearing and maintaining our municipal roadways during a snow storm event takes time and planning to achieve the greatest benefi ts from our available resources. We appreciate your understanding, patience, and cooperation during this season.

Visit our website for more information on our winter program. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for storm response updates. During severe weather events only, call our Storm Response Information Hotline at 604.514.HELP for regular storm response updates.
