‘Symbols of Remembrance’ at Legion
Two local homes destroyed by fire By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star
KURT LANGMANN PHOTO
The Aldergrove Legion is hosting an Remembrance-themed exhibition by the Aldergrove Art Club in the Legion’s lounge. Titled “Symbols of Remembrance” the exhibition of 20 paintings and other art works is open daily from 11 a.m. to closing time, until Remembrance Day, Nov. 11. See page 9 for more information on the Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Two homes burned to the ground in Langley over the weekend, and at least one of them was deliberately set. Langley RCMP and the Township fire department are now investigating a fire that started at around 11 p.m. on Halloween in an older home, at 1322 - 216 St. Fire crews arrived within eight minutes of being called to the blaze, but in the time it took them to get there, heavy black smoke had made visibility in the rural area difficult, said assistant fire chief Pat Walker. The home, a 1955 onestorey with basement, burned to the ground, said Walker. The tenants of the home had moved out that day, so it
was unoccupied at the time of the blaze. Walker said the cause is still undetermined. Fire investigators were back at the scene on Monday. On Friday, at around 7:30 a.m., the outside of a home in Aldergrove was set ablaze. Fire crews were called to the residence, located at 26595 - 29 Ave. Flames were burning through the roof by the time they arrived. The fire had been set on the outside of the house, flames climbed up the wall and into the attic, said Walker. There was extensive damage and the home is a complete loss. Nobody was living in the house at the time of the fire, but it contained some furniture, left behind by the last tenant. Langley RCMP continue to investigate.
Aldergrove divided up in new B.C. ridings By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
Aldergrove and the east Langley areas will be carved up and moved into new provincial electoral districts under new legislation introduced at the legislature Thursday, Oct. 29. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton tabled legislation to adopt the recommendations of the latest B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission and create the two new constituencies to reflect high-growth areas of provincial population, bringing the number of MLAs in the legislature to 87. The commission recommended changes to boundar-
ies to 48 existing constituencies, after public hearings since it proposed the changes this spring to balance population. It was restricted by a law that prevents the elimination of electoral districts in areas outside the urban southwest. The areas of Aldergrove and east Langley which were formerly part of the Fort Langley-Aldergrove riding will be divided into three newly named or reconfigured ridings: Abbotsford South, Langley East and Abbotsford West. Fort Langley-Aldergrove will cease to exist and the riding of Langley will include the area from 72 Avenue to the
U.S. border, between 196 and 216 Streets. Abbotsford South will take in the area from 248 Street to Boundary Road in Chilliwack, between the U.S. border and Hwy. 1. Abbotsford West will include the area between the Fraser River and Hwy. 1, from 264 Street to the AbbotsfordMission Hwy. Langley East is a “T” shaped riding, which will run from the Fraser River to the U.S. border, with the top part of the “T” including the area from 264 to 196 Streets, and the bottom part including the area between 216 and 248 Streets.

Two tractors, trailer stolen Aldergrove Star
During the night of Sunday, Oct. 25, between midnight and 4 a.m., thieves went to great lengths to steal two John Deere tractors and a flat deck trailer. Thieves arrived at Prairie Coast Equipment on Fraser Highway in Langley sometime after midnight. The suspects arrived in a tow truck, loaded up a flat deck trailer with two John Deere tractors on it, and after forcing other vehicles out of the way, drove off. Items stolen are described as: • Ward Haul 22 foot flat deck trailer bearing BC licence 80042C; • John Deere One of the stolen tractors. 1025R tractor; • John Deere G110 lawn tractor. Surveillance footage from the business captured a picture of the suspect tow truck. It is described as two toned with white on top tow truck, with roof clearance lights and no rear boom set up. If you have information that might assist with this investigation, please call Langley RCMP at 604-5323200. Should you need to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Lobbying for a ‘truly’ indoor Aldergrove pool By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
A campaigner for an indoor pool in Aldergrove has warned Township council that supporters are so disappointed with the decision to make the new recreation centre pool an outdoor facility, and so doubtful it will ever be truly indoors that they don’t want to raise funds for pool equipment and accessories. “If it’s not going to be indoors, people are not going to help at all,” said Joanne Nicolato of the Aldergrove Recreation and Pool Society. Nicolato came to the Monday night council meeting to seek assurance that the pool can be converted to an indoor facility down the road, as mayor Jack Froese has said. There is concern that the Township could just put a roof over the pool and leave it open to the elements, Nicolato said. “We are asking council and staff to clarify what indoor means to them so that the community can be on the same page as they are,” Nicolato told council. “Covered is not indoor.” The design needs to have “proper foundations, electrical systems and space for future mechanical

Joanne Nicolato of the Aldergrove Recreation and Pool society told Township council supporters of an indoor pool are so disappointed with the decision to build an outdoor pool that they are unwilling to fundraise to support the project. and HVAC systems to support a fully enclosed indoor pool,” she said. Nicolato called on council to make the final building and pool design public, “so the public can see exactly what facilities, or lack of, is
Langley trustees have expressed concerns about what kind of learning environment can be offered when required academic courses have more than 30 students in them. At the board of education meeting on Tuesday, a report showed that there were 24 high school classrooms with more than 30 students this year. Four have been brought into compliance. The majority of those packed classes are for provincially required courses such as math 10 and science 10.
“I have concerns with the learning conditions for a math 10 class of 34 students at Langley Fundamental School and 36 students in pre-calculus at DW Poppy,” said trustee David Tod, who is a teacher in Abbotsford. “You would have to be a miracle worker to pull that off.” “How many of those kids have failed math 10 and are back again?” asked trustee Rosemary Wallace. “I worry about kids falling through the cracks,” said trustee Alison McVeigh. Trustee Shelly Coburn pointed out that studies have shown that
Several le availab
students who fail math 10 almost never graduate. McVeigh said maybe the whole story isn’t being told and there may be a teacher’s assistant in those larger classrooms. “We need an update on how big classes are being supported,” said McVeigh. The district said it is working on balancing out the large classes, but in the case of DW Poppy, there is only one pre-calculus course offered at the school, so that is why it is so full. Under fairly new legislation, teachers are financially compensated when classrooms exceed 30 students.

being provided to the community.” The Township trimmed the estimated cost of the new centre at 27032 Fraser Hwy. from $55 million to $26 million by opting for an outdoor pool and demolishing the Aldergrove Elementary School, rather than upgrade the school to modern standards. The new Township facility will feature a two-level, 550-seat hockey arena and events space, fitness centre, walking surface, multi-purpose rooms, and an outdoor aquatic facility with a six-lane, 25-metre pool, waterslides, tidal pool, current channel, children’s aqua structure, picnic areas and playground. The reduced cost means the Township will not have to hike taxes or seek approval for any more potentially-controversial sales of surplus land to raise the necessary money. At the time, mayor Froese said the reduced cost allows the municipality to build a facility now, rather than wait until it finds more funds. “Do we build something today or do we wait another 20 years?” Froese said. The pool and water park are scheduled to open in May of 2018, followed a few months later by the new arena.

Funds to improve adult literacy here The provincial government is granting $27,404 to Encompass Support Services Society to provide Langley residents with the literacy skills they need to participate in B.C.’s growing economy. Funding is distributed to non-profit community groups to offer free literacy training that is easily accessible in local places such as schools, Aboriginal friendship centres and community centres. The program is tailored to suit the needs of any adult with low-literacy ability, and is delivered by trained volunteers offering one-to-one tutoring or small-group classes.

Imagine holding your child’s hand when all of a sudden, their eyes go blank. The machines they are connected to begins to beep incessantly and doctors and nurses quickly jump into action. That is what Karm and Gary Ahuja faced on Oct. 18, 2010. Their daughter Maya — just four months of age — had undergone openheart surgery to repair a hole in her heart and was in the recovery room at B.C. Children’s Hospital. Surgery had gone well the doctors said, so the parents were beside their daughter when she suddenly flat-lined. The doctors and nurses were able to revive Maya and she spent the next week in a drug-induced coma, hooked up to a heart and lung machine. Thankfully, Maya was saved. She did face some health challenges the past few years, and still needs another heart surgery to correct a second hole they discovered during the initial operation. But her family has not forgotten

Team Miracle Maya is hosting a Diwali party at Surrey’s Bombay Banquet Hall on Nov. 7. The Abbotsford family is trying to raise $100,000 for B.C. Children’s Hospital after they saved Maya’s life. just how much B.C. Children’s Hospital helped save their little girl and thousands of others from across the province. They formed Team Miracle Maya in 2013 with a goal of raising $100,000 for the B.C. Children’s Hospital, as a way of saying thanks. In two years, Team Miracle Maya has managed to raise close to $33,000.
“We are lucky we live somewhere where we have access to this life-saving care,” Gary Ahuja said. “Without this care, who knows what may have happened to Maya. “This is our way of saying ‘thank you’ for all the work the doctors and nurses do at B.C. Children’s Hospital.” The majority of
the money comes from the team’s annual gala fundraiser and this year’s event will be held Saturday, Nov. 7 at Surrey’s Bombay Banquet Hall. The event, which is presented by CabinetBed Inc. and Black Press, is a Diwali theme this year. Diwali is a festival of lights held each autumn and celebrates new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. The family-friendly evening begins at 6 p.m. and will feature a photo booth, silent auction, 50/50 draw and raffle prizes, as well as a toonie toss. The menu is a gourmet Indian buffet dinner. Tickets are $50 or $360 for a table of eight, with a portion of that eligible for a tax receipt. Kids 10 and under are free, and ages 11 to 17 are $25. For tickets, please call 604-613-5242 or email garyahuja@ hotmail.com. Tickets will not be available at the door. For more on Team Miracle Maya’s efforts, click here or visit the Facebook page.
Editor: I do not envy prime minister elect Justin Trudeau. No siree, I definitely do not. But I suspect that he is still blissfully unaware of what he and his Socialist-Liberal party (yes, our new federal government might as well be known by its true functional name) have set in motion. Sure, they have five years ahead of them, and a lot can happen in five years time. Who knows, they may even live to regret the day they took office and broke down the door to the candy shop. Let us take a look at the crystal ball. If they go ahead with the promised hike to the taxes imposed on the higher income segment it will precipitate a migration out of the country by intellectuals and professionals who will find greener grass abroad. But yes, the government may succeed in fulfilling their promise to ‘put more money into the pockets’ of the lower and middle income people, at least for a while. That is perhaps on the positive side of the ledger. But then there is the negative side and that will be massive. First of all, the dollar which has for quite some time been hovering around the 75-cent mark will slump further, perhaps settling at the 62-64 cent level before slipping even lower. The stock market indexes will follow any wild downward spiral. And at the same time inflation will take off, the cost of living index will wind upwards with huge increases in the cost of the bare essentials of living such as groceries, rents, hydro and heat. Meanwhile, printing presses at the Canadian Mint will be running overtime. All the while there will be a clamouring of demands for a sharing of the spoils by various groups. Led by Quebec, of course, where or what else? Closely followed by the federal mandarins, top level bureaucrats and diverse political hangers-on. The unions will insist on their bite as well, and finally the average citizen when it starts dawning on him that he has been flimflammed by his elected leaders. More money in pocket, yes, but worth far less. Will Trudeau be able to cope with all of this? Perhaps even throw in an added ‘October Crisis’? Who has he got to help him? Ah yes, perhaps Jean Chretien. Not going to be an easy task for the old man. But then, perhaps they won’t. Election promises have been historically known to fall by the wayside once a government settles in. We shall see. A seventh century BC sage had this to say: ‘We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office’. Never were truer words spoken. Rudy Langmann, Aldergrove
Cadets thankful to all
Editor: On behalf of the 746 Lightning Hawk Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the community. We recently held our biannual fundraising “Tag Day” activity and Aldergrove businesses and citizens were very supportive and generous toward our cadets. The Squadron currently has over 150 cadets in the program between the ages of 12 and 18. Activities in which our cadets participate include community service, assisting the Legion with their poppy sales, Remembrance Day Services, physical fitness, drill training, field training survival exercises, flight programs, and music, to name a few. Fundraising offsets the costs of the program not covered by the Department of National Defence. We are very proud of the leadership and citizenship of our air cadets and we thank the community for helping our cadets to achieve their goals. Bruce Foster, Chair, 746 RCACS Lightning Hawk Sponsor Committee
Great experience, service
Editor: My sons and I have been redoing our 1966 Ford Mustang and ran into a glitch the other day when we were working on our exhaust system. We were having a problem fitting our mufflers to the existing pipe so after a fair bit of monkeying around I thought we had better reach out to the pros. I went over to see Scott at Midas Mufflerabout my exhaust issue and in less than 20 minutes he had not only solved my problem but he had me out the door with the new parts in hand. Scott and his crew over at Midas have always been professional and courteous, they always take the time to service their customers and they continually support minor sports and other various community groups. I find too often that we are quick to point out the negative around us and forget to pass along the “feel good” stories. Lyall Sharman, Aldergrove

Poppy is symbol of Remembrance By DOUG HADLEY Aldergrove Star
STAR FILE PHOTO
Aldergrove will pause to remember our fallen at the Aldergrove Cenotaph on Remembrance Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11 at 11 a.m.
As Remembrance Day approaches this is the time of year when we all pause to remember those who served and continue to serve our country. It is when we pin on a Poppy in Remembrance of those who have sacrificed past, present and future. As each year passes we remember important dates in Canadian military history and 2016 is no different as 10 years ago in Afghanistan Operation Medusa took place. A Canadian-led offensive to establish Afghan government control over an area of Kandahar Province centered on the town of Panjwayi some 30 km west of Kandahar city. A tactical victory, however, it resulted in the deaths of 12 Canadian soldiers. Canada has earned a world renowned reputation of punching well above its weight; from the Canadian Corps in the battles of the First World War through to the more recent history and the military operations that the men and women of today’s Canadian Armed Forces have found themselves in. It is our duty as Canadians to always Remember their sacrifices. We as Canadians must also Remember and uphold our country’s sacred obligation
Poppies are laid at the Aldergrove Cenotaph on November 11. to care for veterans and their dependents throughout their lives, maintaining a quality of life that is worthy of their sacrifices that they have made for Canada. In Canada, the Poppy has stood as a visual symbol of our Remembrance since 1921. However, its presence over the graves of soldiers, and in the fields of honour, was noted as early as the 19th century after the Napoleonic Wars. The reason for its adoption over 100 years later in Canada was due to, in no small part, Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae and his now famous poem, “In Flanders Fields”. The Poppy has stood as a symbol of Remembrance, our visual pledge to never forget those Canadians who have fallen in war and military operations. The Poppy also serves as a
THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION ALDERGROVE
symbol of unity for those who recognize the sacrifices that were made for their freedom, and it forges a bond between people of all ages, not only within Canada, but around the world. Funds from the Poppy Campaign are placed in trust to be used for the care and benevolent support of Veterans and their dependants. Through these Poppy Fund donations, the Legion provides financial assistance to serving and former Canadian Armed Forces members and their dependants who are in need. Grants are available for food, heating costs, clothing, prescription medication, medical appliances and equipment, essential home repairs and emergency shelter or assistance. Comforts for Veterans and their surviving spouses who are hospitalized and
in need may also be provided. A portion of Poppy Funds may also be allocated to promote Remembrance and ensure Canadians never forget the sacrifices of Canada’s Veterans. The 2015 Poppy Campaign started Friday, October 30 and culminates with the November 11th Remembrance Service at the Cenotaph and Legion Hall. So when you see that uniformed Legion member holding that tray full of Poppies please take one and wear it to Remember those Canadians who have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice their lives for those ideals, which we as Canadians cherish. Your generosity in giving to the Poppy Campaign is greatly appreciated. I invite you to the Remembrance service on November 11th at the Cenotaph as well as the activities after the service at Branch 265. On behalf of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 265 our veterans and those who have made the ultimate sacrifice I would like to take the opportunity to thank the people of Aldergrove and our surrounding communities for your continued support and show of respect during this time of year. - Doug Hadley is President of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 265, Aldergrove

Big history in a small package Sometimes the best things come in the smallest packages. During World War One, Her Majesty Princess Mary decided to do something nice for all soldiers serving under the Commonwealth. In November 1914, she started the “Sailors and Soldiers Christmas Fund” to raise money so every Commonwealth soldier might receive a gift on Christmas day. Due to the fact that there were well over 2 million soldiers fighting for the Commonwealth, and a shortage on brass at the time, some did not receive their Christmas gifts until the following year. It is thought that between 300,000 to 400,000 brass gift tins were distributed in 1914 while a total of 2.5 million gift tins were distributed by the end of the war. Inside the brass gift tins everyone received a card and a photo of Her Majesty Princess Mary. Smokers also received a pipe, a package of cigarettes, an ounce of tobacco and a tinder lighter. Non-smokers received a packet of acid tablets, a pencil made from a shell casing and a khaki writing case. Nurses received chocolate, while Indian troops enjoyed sweets and spices. Almost 100 years later,

Commonwealth war connections at Langley Centennial Museum effect on all communities in Commonwealth countries, including Langley. It is estimated that one in 10 men who enlisted from Langley died in action, died of wounds, or perished from wartime disease. While at the museum, Robert gifted two poppies from New Zealand to the Langley Centennial Museum, welcome additions that may appear in the upcoming exhibit on World War One, set to open in April 2017. The Langley Centennial Museum, located in the historic village of Fort Langley, is owned and operated by the
Township of Langley. The museum opened in 1958 and has 3,500 square feet of exhibition galleries, including temporary displays on a variety of topics from art to history to science. The museum also has a well-stocked gift shop featuring unique items handcrafted by local artists. After more than 50 years of offering exhibits, programs, and other cultural and heritage services, Langley Centennial Museum continues to grow and expand its role in the Township of Langley.

A self-motivated cross country runner is aiming for the provincial championships this Friday at Vancouver. Weston Toppozini, 17, is in his final year at Aldergrove Secondary school, and as it turns out he is the only cross country runner remaining in the school’s track and field program. “Ms. Durant is my track coach at the school but I have been mostly training on my own time,” said Toppozini. He had been training with the Langley Mustangs track and field club but the costs were too high so he “had to quit” and go on his own program. He has done quite well, however, as he fin-
ished in the top 40 out of a field of 200 senior high school boys at the qualifying event held last Wednesday, Oct. 21, at Crescent Park. “It was very slippery in the mud and some of the guys who have beat me before didn’t even finish the race this time. I came 39th, so I am qualified for the final race,” said Toppozini. The B.C. high school 5-kilometre championship is set for Friday, Nov. 6 at Jericho Beach. When he returns from this event Toppozini is hoping the school will have a senior boys’ basketball team this season for him to join. He will also be competing in school track events, in which he enjoys the steeplechase and long jump.

Aldergrove Kodiaks’ latest acquisition, Darien White (at right) scored on Mission City Outlaws netminder Gunnar Neilsen, Oct. 28 at Aldergrove Arena.
The Aldergrove Kodiaks scored the first and only goal of the first period against Grandview Steelers on Sunday afternoon. However, it also proved to be their last goal of the day and the Steelers sealed a 5-1 win at Burnaby Winter Club. The Kodiaks and Steelers were matched for shots on goal in the first period, with seven each, but the Steelers scored four consecutive power play goals before scoring their fifth goal in the dying minutes of the third. The Steelers scored on four of ten power plays while the Kodiaks failed to notch one in three. The Steelers outshot the Kodiaks 36-20 in all. The Kodiaks’ sole goal came from Matt Oliver at 12:18 in the first, assisted by Erik Bocale. The result leaves the Kodiaks stalled in third place in the Harold Brittain conference
with 16 points after 16 games (7-7-0-1). HEART-BREAKER LOSS TO MISSION OUTLAWS The Aldergrove Kodiaks took a heartbreaking doubleovertime loss to the Mission City Outlaws on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at Aldergrove Arena. The Kodiaks were up 2-0 halfway through the second period and had outshot the Outlaws consistently all night (44-30 in total) but had to settle for a single point that night for the overtime loss. Kodiak Brandon Dolby opened the night’s scoring with the only power play goal in 10 chances (Mission failed to score on any of nine power plays). Dolby’s goal came at 8:02 in the second period, with assists from Erik Bocale and Elijah Vilio. Towering new Kodiak forward Derian White added another to their tally a few seconds later for the 2-0 lead, assisted by Ivan Vilcauskas and Joshua Pollock.

SD35 is a BC Hydro Top 10 Customer BC Hydro has identified Langley School District #35 as one of the Top 10 BC Hydro customers – and the Top Customer in the Education Sector – when it comes to the level of engagement in energy efficient projects, Power Smart Program offerings and Energy Manager participation. Senior Key Account Manager Wayne Cousins addressed the Board of Education and explained that Langley Schools earned ‘credits’ for the various activities listed above and when they were calculated, the District came out on top in its sector and top 10 in the province. The Top 10 ranking comes with several
accolades, including a full-colour profile of the Langley District activities in BC Business magazine. District Manager of Energy, Environment and Special Projects Karen Wagner was awarded a plaque in recognition of her work and Mr. Cousins went on to comment that a lot of the District success in the program has been “…largely due to the work of Karen and her team.”

The run featured a 1-km and 5-km option and was a fundraiser for the Meals on Wheels program. Enough money was raised to subsidize two seniors with a full year of meals. The top finisher in the 5-km distance was Langley’s Robert Durrant.

Remembrance Day: Lest We Forget We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifices of those hundreds of thousands of Canadians will be meaningless. They died for us, for our homes, for our families, and our friends. They gave of themselves for a collection of traditions Canadians cherish, and a future we all believed in. They died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice and their valour rests with our collective national consciousness.
