Lest we forget
The war on the
West Coast
While most eyes were focused on the conflict in Europe during the Second World War, another threat was lurking off the shores of British Columbia M IRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Tim e s Re po r t e r
Fred van Aggelen lived two miles away from Pauline Johnson School in West Vancouver, so when the air raid sirens went off in the early 1940s, he ran to an appointed parent’s house, close by, instead of going home. “It was like a siren on a police car, it was a funny noise,” the 82-yearold recalled while seated in his quiet living room in Walnut Grove. “I don’t know how to explain it. It would go loud then soft, loud then soft, loud then soft. If it was continuous I guess it wouldn’t be as effective.” Just 10 years old at the time, van Aggelen, along with his elementary school classmates, practised several surprise air raid drills and learned to put on gas masks in case of enemy attack. Though an actual air strike never occurred, the threat posed by Japan off the Vancouver coast was very real during the Second World War. Van Aggelen is only finding out the details now. “There’s so many people who don’t believe that this really happened,” he said, while thumbing through War on our Doorstep, a locally written book by Brendan Coyle, about the Aleutian campaign and war off North America’s West Coast. “A boat would get sunk off the coast here, we never knew about it. But there were gun emplacements
all put up. “There’s gun emplacements in Stanley Park — and they still exist — and Point Grey there’s some, and up the coast there’s still gun emplacements. But nobody knew that they were there, originally.” According to Coyle’s book, the first Japanese submarines began patrols of West Coast waters in December, 1941, from Vancouver Island all the way down to Mexico. Searching for American aircraft carriers that escaped destruction during the Dec. 7 bombing of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, the subs began attacking merchant ships and land targets down the coast. On June 20, 1942, Estevan Point on Vancouver Island became Canada’s first casualty. Japanese submarines fired 21 shells at the lighthouse, where a radar/radio station was thought to be. With shells landing at the small village five km away, not one managed to hit the lighthouse. This was the first attack on Canadian soil since the War of 1812. “We were so dedicated to the British that the Japanese didn’t seem to — there just wasn’t interest in it,” van Aggelen said. “Everything was for Great Britain … even our own family, we were more interested in Holland and Europe and my brothers overseas than we were about the Japanese coming over here and sinking a few ships.

Fort Langley man joins campaign for fair vote Timothy Jones lobbies to end first-past-the-post voting D AN F ERGUSO N Ti me s Re po r t e r
Timothy Jones taps a finger on a hand-drawn chart of the federal election results that shows winner Mark Warawa collected less than half the votes that were cast in the Langley-Aldergrove riding. Warawa, the incumbent Conservative MP, was elected with 45.5 per cent, more than enough under the current first-past-the-post system that elects whoever gets the most votes, he says. Jones, a Fort Langley resident who is a member of Fair Vote Canada, argues more than half the voters in the riding were left out in the cold. The 36.5 per cent who voted for the Liberal, the 12.8 per cent who voted NDP, 4.4 per cent who voted Green and the 0.9 per cent who voted Libertarian (numbers have been rounded) won’t have their views represented, he says. “They don’t actually succeed in their votes,” Jones says. “You get a distortionary outcome.” The national results are just as distorted, he says, with the Liberals forming a majority with 39.5 per cent of the vote netting them 54.5 per cent of the seats in parliament. Under proportional representation, Jones says the results would have reflected the percentages and the Liberals would have formed a minority
government that would have had to consult with the other parties to stay in power. Jones wants the Trudeau government to honour its election pledge to introduce some form of proportional representation, where a majority of votes is not wasted just because people didn’t back the winner. “They (voters) can point to someone in parliament that they helped elect,” says Jones. Fair Vote Canada executive director Kelly Carmichael has called for creation of a “multi-partisan task force bringing together pro-reform citizens and experts” to design a new voting system. “This election was a referendum on the last false-majority government,” Carmichael says. “(Canadians) coalesced their votes around a promise to end first-pastthe-post voting and an opportunity to have a truly democratic voting system that will make all our votes count,” Carmichael adds. Fair Vote Canada describes itself as a grassroots organization representing over 60,000 Canadians. It has a website, fairvote.ca. Timothy Jones, who wants to establish a Fort Langley chapter of Fair Vote Canada, can be contacted at tjjones4@ telus.net.

Driver violently attacked by umbrella-wielding man Woman says she rolled down her window to apologize for startling a pedestrian when he began yelling and hitting her MONIQUE TAMMINGA Times Reporter
A Langley woman is offering a public thank you to the Good Samaritan who stopped a man from physically attacking her and her vehicle on Wednesday, Nov. 4. The woman, who asked that her name be withheld because of the trauma she experienced, said she was pulling out the Nature’s Fare parking onto 200 Street when she startled a man walking on the sidewalk. “He was not hit or injured in any way,” the woman said. She rolled down her window to apologize for scaring him when he unleashed a
verbal and then a physical assault on her. Through her open window he plunged his umbrella at her chest and neck, striking her hard twice and then continued trying to attack her as she frantically rolled up the window. “He continued to try to break in by smashing his umbrella against the glass,” she said. He circled the truck, kicking at the doors, punching the windows and mirrors, eventually snapping and breaking them. “The terror continued until someone came to rescue me. This gentleman pulled him away from
the truck,” the woman told The Times. “I rolled down the window to warn him, ‘he’s crazy, he stabbed me,’ and ‘be careful.’ My assailant tried to break free and, even with one hand held, bent down and picked up some rocks and threw them to further attack me.” It was then the woman noticed a white tractor trailer blocking a lane of traffic. She wonders if it belonged to her Good Samaritan. She said by then, others had come to help as well. But she was still frightened, so she drove to the nearest Community Police Office to make a statement to RCMP.
She worries about the safety of those who came to aid her and hopes no one was hurt. Police patrolled the area with a description of the man but we unable to find him, confirmed Cpl. Holly Largy. The suspect is described as Caucasian, 25 to 35 years of age, about 5’8” tall, short brown hair, wearing jeans and a light coloured jacket and carrying a black umbrella. The woman who was attacked is being helped by victim services. But she still has a message to the man who came to her rescue. “I want you to know how grateful I am that you intervened and
risked your safety to rescue me. If I could have thanked you then, I would have.” She also said her situation is a warning for others to be careful when dealing with strangers on the street. “This story could have been so much worse if he had been carrying a knife or box cutter, as they often do. I am recovering and know I will be fine in time — lots to be grateful for, yet forever changed.” If you have information for police about this suspect or witnessed the incident and haven’t spoken to police, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Does the oldest road in Langley have a future? Township to hold public forum on Old Yale Road DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
The Township of Langley has just announced an open house on the future of Old Yale Road in Murrayville. Old Yale is the oldest road in the Township, and the 93-yearold concrete surface on the section that runs from the fiveway roundabout on 216 Street to the Fraser Highway is falling apart, riddled with cracks and pot holes. The road was listed among the worst in the province by a British Columbia Automobile Association (BCAA) survey in 2013. After the survey came out, the Township informed BCAA by letter that work on Old Yale has been delayed because it has a heritage designation as one of the first concrete roads constructed in the Lower Mainland. Old Yale was originally a wagon road

The Old Yale Road open house will be held Thursday, Nov. 26, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Langley Fundamental Elementary School at 21789 50 Ave. “The goal of this process is to determine a means of upgrading Old Yale Road in a way that meets the Township’s needs and respects this unique historical roadway,”

Township heritage planner Elaine Horricks said. Township transportation engineer Richard Welfing said the engineering division is working with heritage staff to come up with a solution that meets the needs of all users, values its heritage attributes, and takes technical and cost considerations into account. Possibilities range from preservation to replacement, the Township announcement said.
There were complaints that Langley Township council isn’t getting enough say over financial decision-making, following a staff presentation about the draft 2016 operating budget at the Monday afternoon (Nov. 2) meeting of council. As a result, a majority of council voted to schedule a special all-day session, which took place on Nov. 9, to fine-tune the budget details. The meeting, held in council chambers, was open to the public. Councillor Michelle Sparrow was the most outspoken critic, saying consideration of the budget had become a “watered down” process where mayor and council don’t get enough time to conduct a detailed review of municipal spending before they vote on the budget. “I just really feel that council has been removed from the process,” Sparrow said. Sparrow said the budget documents for council consideration contained less information about municipal spending than they did last year. “It just doesn’t feel right (to make a decision based on less information),” Sparrow said. Sparrow said later that council has yet to set priorities for the year ahead and should not be doing that “in isolation of our budget process.” Councillor Charlie Fox said he wanted time to take the budget
home and digest the details. Councillor Kim Richter said the 66-page slideshow presentation to council Monday afternoon amounted to an “info dump” because councillors were not allowed to ask questions until it was finished. “This should be council’s budget, not staff’s budget,” Richter said. “Because we’re the ones who take the hit.” M ICHELLE Mayor Jack FroSPAR R OW ese said council has the ability to make changes to the draft budget, adding councillors received their budget documents the week before the meeting. The draft 2016 operating budget proposes a 1.95 per cent increase in municipal taxes, or about $32 more a year for an average single family house worth $514,000. It includes increases in spending for roadwork and two additional RCMP officers. The staff presentation quoted B.C. government statistics showing the Township municipal tax burden is near the bottom of 18 Metro municipalities at number 15, less than Maple Ridge, Abbotsford and Surrey and above Langley City, Pitt Meadows and Chilliwack tax bills.

Warawa urges new immigration minister to help José It is ‘in the best interest of our country’ to cancel deportation order, MP says DAN FERGUSON Times Reporter
Saying it “is in the best interest of our country” to allow José Figueroa to stay in Canada, Langley-Aldergrove MP Mark Warawa has asked the new federal immigration minister to intervene in the case of the Langley man who sought refuge in a Walnut Grove church after he was ordered deported. Warawa sent a letter on Monday to John McCallum, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, asking McCallum to use his “ministerial discretion” powers to allow Figueroa to stay in Canada. “I believe that it is in the best interest of our country, and in the best interest of Mr. Figueroa’s (wife and ) three Canadian-born children, that Mr. Figueroa is granted permanent resident status,” Warawa wrote. Figueroa was ordered deported because of his involvement with the
MARK WA R AWA
Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN) in El Salvador. “To be clear, Mr. Figueroa has never posed a threat to Canada,”
Warawa said. “He did not engage in any violent activities with the FMLN (and the) FMLN is now the democratically elected government of El Salvador, with whom Canada enjoys good bilateral relations.” Warawa described Figueroa as a “model citizen and a positive contributor to the community,” and went on to say that “to deny Mr. Figueroa permanent resident status in Canada would cause incomprehensive and unnecessary harm to his family.”
CBSA offers ‘no comment’ on Figueroa deportation order MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter
Canadian Border Services Agency will not speak to specific cases. That was the agency’s response when asked by The Times why they still have an arrest warrant out for José Figueroa. “It is not the practice of the CBSA to speak to specific cases,” said CBSA spokesperson Stefanie Wudel last month. “We can tell you that generally, in the course of immigration proceedings, there are several incidences when the CBSA may issue a warrant, including when an individual fails to appear for an interview or immigration hearing; fails to abide by any imposed terms and conditions; or fails to show up for removal.” Figueroa has been living in sanctuary in a Walnut Grove church for the past two years, after a CBSA warrant was issued for him to be deported to his native El Salvador. Figueroa has lived in Langley for 17 years. During that time he has supported his wife and raised three children who were born here. But in 2013, Immigration Canada ruled he was to be deported after a request to become a permanent resident was denied, based on his support of the FMLN, a faction fighting the violent dictatorship that ruled El Salvador in the 1980s. “The question the CBSA should be answering is if they are still of the opinion that I am inadmissible into

Canada due to my past membership with the FMLN? “If the answer to that question is no, then the arrest warrant should be cancelled and CBSA should not be looking to impose any terms and conditions other than the ones I had prior to the minister’s delegate decision of March 27, 2013,” said Figueroa. “If the answer to the question is yes, then the CBSA needs to be better informed.” In July 2014, a federal judge ruled that the original decision to deport
Figueroa contained errors in the ruling and that his case needed to be given a new review. In that decision, Judge Mosely noted that the FMLN is now the government of El Salvador and is not on any terrorist list within Canada. But Mosely didn’t impose a timeline for the new review to take place, so in the meantime, Figueroa is not able leave sanctuary for fear he will be detained by the CBSA. He is hopeful that a new Liberal government will look at his case.

“We didn’t even know that was happening.” From 1941 to 1942 there were 147 recorded sightings of submarines off B.C.’s coast from Alaska down to the Washington state/ Oregon border. Many turned out to be floating bamboo sticks, planted to look like periscopes. One buoyed piece of bamboo appeared at Gordon Head, near Victoria, and was successfully destroyed by Canadian anti-submarine patrols on Jan. 31, 1941. “(My parents) were always on the radio listening to the British part, but the Japanese part was really kept very quiet, and I don’t understand that,” van Aggelen said. “Maybe they didn’t want people to get worried and stuff like that. People were really upset about the Japanese being put in the prison camps. “For Canadians, that was sort of a — we just didn’t do that. Some of our best friends were Japanese.” In the 1930s, a large percentage of the fishing industry in B.C. was run by Japanese-Canadians. Fearful that the fishermen could be spies co-ordinating with Japanese subs, in February, 1942, Parliament passed an order in council to allow authorities to search, confine, and confiscate property of all Japanese. By March, an evacuation order was given. Close to 23,000 people were relocated from coastal towns to six camps in the Kootenays, and were not allowed to return to the coast until 1949 — four years after the war ended. In the Lower Mainland, many were first sent to Hastings Park, van Aggelen recalled. “They got all the Japanese people, they took their boats away from them — I think they sold some of them — they took everything away from them and put them into Hastings Park,” he said. “It became a prison. Nobody wanted to talk about it. “The RCMP came along, and that’s what they did. They put

A young Fred van Aggelen (bottom, centre) sports a British flag T-shirt that says “there will always be an England.” Standing with him are his brothers John (right), Cornelius “Van” (top, centre) and Bernard (left). John was part of the West Van High Army Cadets, where “all the boys had black pants, white shirts, and a side hat and wooden rifles,” Fred said. Cornelius was part of the Royal Canadian Artillery and was awarded the Military Medal for his courage on a reconnaissance job, where he crawled on his belly to a German command hut to lay communication lines. Bernard served in the navy as an engineer in the engine room. them in prison. “That was the start of people realizing that we were in trouble over here.” Air raid sirens were installed on tall buildings or on top of power poles, and blackouts were in effect during drills. Van Aggelen’s father, Cornelius, acted as a warden during these tests to ensure no light was visible. “My dad was a carpenter and a builder so he would build frames, and the frame would sit in the window so you could have the lights on inside the house,” van Aggelen said. “And he used to travel around during the air raid practices and make sure no lights were shining out of
the houses, because one little light could point out to the airplanes that were going to come over where we were.” Van Aggelen’s father was also involved in another important war measure — the construction of the Alaska Highway. Built on an accelerated schedule by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the 2,500-km road linking Dawson Creek in northern B.C. to Fairbanks, Alaska was used to transport troops and supplies to the northern front, where the Japanese attempted a North American invasion through Alaska’s Aleutian Islands. Cornelius was sent with Northern Construction to build
airplane hangars in Whitehorse, an important link. Back home in West Vancouver, there were many other events that characterized van Aggelen’s wartime childhood. Some of the teachers at school had husbands in the navy, and the students brought nickels and dimes to class to purchase boxes of apples to send to the boats, he said. They collected grease from cooking to make ammunition, and aluminum pots and pans for constructing airplanes. And everyone could tell the different between a Kittyhawk, a PBY Catalina or a Japanese Zero, just by its silhouette in the sky. Continued Page 7

“When we were young kids, our hobbies used to be airplane identification and ship identification,� van Aggelen said. “That’s what you learned. I knew all the airplanes and I knew the different classes of ships and stuff like that.� He also knew the latest war developments from the local newspaper, which he delivered when he was young. “During the Japanese war with the Americans, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt died during that conflict,� van Aggelen recalled. “I remember I was delivering newspapers and the bus stopped, and a lady got off the bus and she saw the headline and she just collapsed. You know, the Americans thought they had lost everything with Roosevelt.� Although he does not remember the definitive moment when victory was announced in 1945, van Aggelen did keep a copy of the special edition paper that accompanied it. “I used to be a col-
lector,� he said. “Any newspaper that came out — Franklin Roosevelt, or James Kennedy, and ‘walking on the moon’ — I had all those newspapers, I had kept them.� Today, van Aggelen hopes people will ac-

Good Samaritan deserves thanks from all of us We’d like to add our voice to that of a Langley woman who is publicly thanking a Good Samaritan for coming to her rescue last week. The unknown man stepped in on Wednesday, Nov. 4 as the woman was being physically attacked and terrorized inside her vehicle along 200 Street by a man wielding an umbrella. She never spoke to the man who subdued her attacker, nor is she even certain where he came from, but of one thing she has no doubt — her terrifying situation could have turned out much worse if not for his quick action. The victim admits she was too frightened to remain at the scene of the attack and speak to her rescuer, instead driving straight to the nearest Community Police Office to file a report. Thankfully, despite the risk it involves, it is still not unheard of for a stranger to step in and help someone who is being victimized. But the simple truth is that this man and the others, who came moments later to lend him a hand, could have simply driven by. It would not have been the right thing to do, but it would have been the safest option. It’s no small thing to risk one’s own safety — or potentially even one’s life — for that of someone you’ve never met. For that, he must be commended. It’s impossible to know whether the person who attacked the woman has mental health issues or if the fit of rage came from some other place. Likely, it’s the former, and we’re hopeful that he’ll be found soon and will get the help he obviously needs. In the meantime, with the help of victim services, the woman, while still traumatized by her ordeal, is improving daily. We wish her well in both her physical and her emotional recovery.

My Opa’s death certificate was sent home to my grandmother who had little time to mourn him because he showed up at the door five days later. The Germans assumed he’d died along with the other men on the work train. My grandparents also helped their neighbours who were hiding a Jewish family. When the family first arrived, the children could only be fed tiny amounts of bread and sips of water because their shrunken stomachs. The stories my grandparents told me, some of which I have recorded for safe keeping, are astounding — almost unbelievable. The horrors Hitler had planned — should he have gained world domination — are terrifying. That’s why momentum should grow to delay the onset of the Christmas retail season. Instead should wait until after Remembrance Day, while we concentrate on honouring veterans for their huge sacrifice. So next year, why don’t we put the importance of Nov. 11 ahead of the almighty dollar.

‘No left turn’ sign largely ignored by drivers Editor: I travel to my favourite little coffee shop in Murrayville almost daily. My route takes me through Willoughby, down 216 Street to where it opens onto Glover Road. About eight years ago, the Township installed ‘No Left Turn’ signs along 216 Street — well before the corner, just before the railway tracks, and on the other side of the tracks. I doubt it could be any clearer that turning northbound onto
Glover is an illegal left-hand turn. It has been totally ignored by drivers ever since. Today I came down 216 Street and the traffic was stopped at Darvonda Greenhouses, which is about a quarter mile from the Glover Road corner. I thought a train must be coming, because there were so many cars lined up. There was no train. When I actually looked toward Glover, first I saw one car make a left turn, then another. The traffic inched
Drivers, cyclists need to improve their habits Editor: Rhetorical smack downs between bicycle and motor vehicle advocates have stepped up. Recently, proposals to license bicycle riders and criticism around investment in bicycle infrastructure have become the talk of the day. Thirty five years ago I began my career as a professional driver, five of those years I have had the honour of instructing professional drivers. Every day my co-workers and I witness drivers whom don’t practice basic driving skills. It would seem that licensing has not improved the rate of insane, illegal and incompetent behaviour behind the wheel. I ride my bike to work for health, economic and environmental reasons. I frequently see bicycle riders without helmets, lights or reflective clothing. Most accidents are a product of ignorance. When I drive I use defensive driving and I don’t break the law. When I ride my bicycle to work I am lit up like a Christmas tree. I follow the rules of the road. I reduce risk by using the skills I have learned in over three decades. Sadly I haven’t found a way to protect myself against the people that swerve toward me into the bicycle lane. Often those drivers are texting or on the phone. I understand the frustration of drivers and bicyclists, the answer is not war between them. It is time that driver’s licences are given to competent drivers. Safe bicycle riding should be a part of every school curriculum. Healthy, safe, non-polluting methods of commuting are a step toward sanity. MARK BEECHING, LANGLEY
forward. It took me 17 minutes to get to the corner and make the turn. In front of me I counted 19 vehicles out of 31, make that illegal left-hand turn. The two directly in front of me were the last two. In all the years I have travelled this route since those signs were installed, they have been ignored constantly. If enforcement of this isn’t a priority, what’s the purpose? I have spoken to others who say
they don’t understand it either. I guess, if there’s an accident and it’s caused by someone making that illegal left-hand turn, they’re completely at fault. For the rest of us who follow the signage, we’re the ones held up along our way by the inconsiderate individuals who think signs don’t apply to them. RCMP should either enforce the law, or get rid of the signs. BARBARA EWART, MAPLE RIDGE
Writer’s lack of Treat library knowledge about books with Syria upsetting more respect Editor: I was outraged by the lack of any fundamental knowledge of the situation in Syria displayed by Tony Smith, (The Times Oct. 16) Does Mr. Smith really believe that President Assad kills hundreds of thousands of his own citizens for no reason? Does Mr. Smith really think you can make sense of the Middle East by watching TV? Does Mr. Smith know that the majority of people in Syria support Assad? The people of Syria only want the people who are fomenting this violence to stop funding rebels who are committed to overthrowing the government of Syria. BOB FEARN, LANGLEY
major concern. Perhaps the appropriate government departments could hold a meeting and sort out their mandates regarding the health and welfare of taxpayers and voters. The recent federal election pointed out how tenuous a politician’s hold on the public is. TERRY BRENAN,
Editor: The 16 Avenue expansion plan was conceived over 30 years ago, when we mistakenly did not value the importance of agricultural land in our community. We have since evolved, and the appetite for preserving the rural character of this growing agri-tourism region is gaining momentum and is supported by all levels of government. Trucks using 16 Avenue to transport dangerous goods are a constant risk to our delicate microclimate in South Langley and threaten our livelihood. There is plenty of room for commuter traffic on 16 Avenue if trucks are taken out of the equation, removing the need for and expense of expansion. Trucks should go to the South Fraser Perimeter Road, as it was designed solely for that purpose. We have an opportunity to band together to make South Langley something more than just a corridor for the needs of other communities. We can make it a destination for agri-tourism. I wonder when the politicians involved will come to realize that blindly following a plan initiated in an unenlightened past is not leadership but capitulation? Now is the time for our government representatives to realize a bad plan is still a bad plan, no matter how long it has been hanging around. TERESA TOWNSLEY,

Editor: This is a message to the person or persons who frequently borrow cook books through the Fraser Valley Regional Library and is constantly turning corners of the pages down to mark a recipe. This is actually defacing a book. I personally borrow many cook books through the library and I cannot tell you how many times I have come across this very selfish habit. Please, people, feel free to turn down the corners on your own books, but not on beautiful books that belong to all of us. JOAN BROADER, WALNUT GROVE
Hwy. 13 twinning plan apparent Editor: In spite of my numerous discussions, via email, with the BC Highways department regarding my belief that Highway 13 (264 Street) will be twinned, and their repeated disavowing of my supposition, it appears that there is a plan underway to twin Highway 13 from the Fraser Highway north to Highway 1. If factual, this plan bla-
tantly ignores the traffic flow on Highway 13 from 28 Avenue to Fraser Highway, a length of road that comprises approximately 16 homes backing onto the highway. The current traffic loads are at best noisy and have airborne pollutants. This is harmful to homeowners’ health, something another department of the provincial government says is of

Harry Hunt remembered

KU RT L AN G M A N N Bl ack Pre s s
Harry Hunt, a respected and long-serving member of the Aldergrove community, passed away Saturday evening, Nov. 7. Harry, 75, had been battling cancer for the past couple of years, after losing his beloved wife Betty to cancer two years ago. Last week, doctors discovered that his cancer had spread and was inoperable. Harry had briefly come back to his Aldergrove home and was pleased to see his children, Laura and Bob, were securely settled into their homes on the Hunt family farm. However, his condition quickly worsened and he was transported to Langley Memorial Hospital for palliative care. He died Saturday evening, surrounded by his family. Laura told Black Press that condolences have been pouring in from H A RRY the Aldergrove commuH UNT nity and that the many kind words are appreciated by the family. She said arrangements are being made for a memorial service before he is interred alongside his late wife. Harry and Betty first met at Camp Luther in Hatzic in their youth and were newlyweds when they settled on an Aldergrove acreage in the late ’60s. Here the couple worked on their hog farm and Harry also worked as a bricklayer. Harry played hockey and rugby in his youth in Vancouver and took this interest in sports further as he became a highly regarded coach and supporter of youth sports in Aldergrove. He had many other interests which he pursued in service of his community, from service clubs to the arts and politics. When the western Canadian hog market collapsed in the 1980s, Harry and Betty were able to save their acreage from creditors through hard work and the support of friends. The couple also began working as school custodians, jobs which they held until their retirements. Harry has also become well-known for his photo contributions to the Aldergrove Star over more than 25 years. Harry was the recipient of numerous service awards in the community and was humbled by the community support at the Harry Hunt appreciation night held at the Aldergrove Arena two years ago. langley’s finest fresh seafood market wild • sustainable • chemical free

Aurora Foot Care: A healthy active lifestyle can often be compromised by a foot injury or not addressing issues with your feet that eventually can cause problems, including back pain, knee pain and bad posture. The body’s equilibrium is very fragile, and much is related to the alignment of the foot structure. You can also experience pain and embarrassment when you can’t participate in activities that seemed easy before. People who are active, on their feet for either work or recreation can benefit from devices like orthotics. Those of us suffering from a visible skin or nail condition can benefit from treatments to resolve their problems and restore normal appearance. Dr. Royden Stanford, podiatrist, of Aurora Foot and Ankle Clinic is trained to examine, diagnose and treat virtually every condition afflicting the foot and ankle. The business is unique in that podiatrists are multi-specialty doctors for one part of the body. This means he will see children,
adults, seniors, trauma, sports injuries, skin and nail condition, diabetic concerns, ulcers/wounds, perform corrective surgery and anything else pertaining to the foot and ankle. Dr. Stanford is passionate about making a difference in people’s health. He’s been in private practice for almost 4 years now after completing a 3 year surgical residency in the United States where he was trained with a special emphasis on sports medicine and diabetic foot care. His experience in the United States has allowed him to develop the highest quality foot orthotic available which is prescribed for each individual patient based on their diagnosis, foot type, gait mechanics and structure. Dr. Stanford is trained to diagnose these biomechanical problems and prescribe a device to treat that problem. The company uses the latest technologies available for accurate diagnosis. The ScanCast 3D allows them to take a 3-dimensional scan of your foot while being manipulated into the corrected

healthy feet, healthy lifestyle position. They then send the scan immediately to the lab for custom orthotic fabrication, using the latest technology to bring you the highest quality custom foot orthotics on the market. Orthotics can benefit children as their bone structure matures; they benefit people often on their feet; they benefit athletes of all levels, and especially the elderly as a tool to help keep them active, prevent falls and prevent diabetic complications. People with ankle problems can struggle with pain on a daily basis. There’s an answer there as well. Dr. Stanford can prescribe a specialized articulating brace for the ankle and foot that allows the user to bend his ankle properly and improve strength and stability in the entire area. Podiatric services are typically covered by extended insurance policies. Coverage may vary so they do encourage patients to contact their carrier for more specific coverage information. Patients without extended coverage may qualify for premium assistance through MSP which reduces their fees. Dr. Stanford is an avid CrossFit athlete, an amateur strength and nutrition coach, and a former competitive bodybuilder. He enjoys cycling,

climbing, skiing and anything outdoors. He trained under a sports medicine doctor who ran the 400m hurdles in the 1988 Olympics and owned three running stores. The love of sports puts him in good stead for understanding the specific needs of the “uberathlete”. Most of us make sure to get to our dentist twice a year and some of us remember our yearly physical exam but how many of you have unused extended medical that you have paid for each month and is about to expire in December? Most extended medical plans, allowing for several hundred dollars worth of therapy and treatments, expire at the end of each year. Don’t put off feeling better and embracing a healthier lifestyle — now is a great time to get started on working toward better health. If you have an extended medical plan, review it and give us a call to get started, or continue your current therapy before the end of the year. Dr. Stanford, and his receptionist Carol welcome everyone to their new practice, open for over eight months now. You can book an appointment without a doctor’s referral, and in most cases, meet the doctor within a day or two.

Inspiring preservation through photography MIRAN D A G AT H E R C O L E Ti m e s Re po r t e r
It wasn’t until Desirée Patterson had her camera stolen in Paris that she realized she wanted to be a photographer. “That was the first time in my life that I had been without one,” the Langley-born artist recalled. “I realized how much it meant to me to capture the things that I saw and the things that I wanted to express. It was always just a hobby, I didn’t realize how important it was to me until then.” Paris was one of hundreds of stops on Patterson’s seven-year trek to 32 different countries. After graduating from Langley Secondary School, she travelled around the world to find her calling, just to realize it had been “under my nose” (and shutter finger) the entire time. While the French thief awakened Patterson’s love for taking photos, a second event gave her a reason to share them with the world. Her friend’s uncle was a travelling stock photographer, and at one of his fundraisers for a village in Africa, Patterson realized, “I want his job.” “He was showing his pictures of the 40 somewhat countries he has travelled to,” she recalled. “I just realized how much making images meant to me. I
went there and I sat in a little chair and I said, ‘this is what I want to do, I’m going to do this.’” Patterson moved to Whistler and opened her own photography business, with a focus on landscapes and commercial work. “My dream was to hang out of helicopters and photograph snowboarders,” she said. “The fine art was always just the hobby that I did for myself.” But a car accident changed all of that. Suffering permanent damage to her shoulder, Patterson was no longer able to take her gear back-country. Her focus shifted to art. “My artistry has evolved so much in that time,” Patterson reflected. “When I first started out, I was very much influenced by my strong exposure to travel, culture and geographic diversity. “And then living in a place that’s as scenic as Whistler put an emphasis on sustainability. Coming back to a city like that opened my eyes to a lot of the environmental issues that we face.” Today, the 33-year-old’s talent for photography has transformed into a remarkable business with an activist voice. “Now I create more contemporary work specifically
to encourage discussion and dialogue regarding sustainability and preservation,” she said. In her latest work, Patterson has shot local models instudio and morphed their images with landscapes of New York City, clear-cut forests and oil refineries to create juxtapositions that will start a larger conversation.
I really strive to do things that are original that haven’t been done before — that really means a lot to me. DESIRÉE PATTERSON
“I really strive to do things that are original that I haven’t done before — that really means a lot to me,” she said. “I don’t like to copy things, I like to have my own voice. What I’m trying to create is extremely complex and it’s really hard to find all of the elements that will go into it.” A large part of Patterson’s
passion comes from her travels, where she’s witnessed some of the world’s most affluent, and the world’s most impoverished. “I’ve been to a lot of third world countries and those impacted me in different ways,” she said. “Cambodia inspired me in different ways than a place like Italy. “The third world countries have shown me that there’s a lot of environmental issues going on over there because there isn’t even enough resources to take care of their people properly, so the environment really gets put on the back burner. “That definitely opened my eyes to appreciating what we have in B.C. and really looking to protect it and to inspire ways of preservation.” Completely self-taught in photography, Patterson is now learning metal sculptures at Emily Carr University to add a new level of dimension to her work. “I am very much inspired by the conceptual background that contemporary art brings,” she said. “I think it engages audiences in a different way.” Although her 3D work is still in progress, conservationists and art enthusiasts alike have two opportunities to view Patterson’s photography in
person this month. She will be at Circle Craft Christmas Market at the Vancouver Convention Centre today (Nov. 11) until Nov. 15. Patterson is also one of 400 artists featured at this year’s East Side Culture Crawl in Vancouver from Nov. 19-22. Working out of the Vancouver Community Laboratory at 1907 Triumph St., she will be featuring a number of her conceptual pieces inside LED light boxes — another new element of her art. “I never would have thought in my wildest dreams that I would make a career of it,” she admitted. “At the end of the day it’s pretty amazing to say you’ve created a career out of your own creativity.” For tickets and more information on Circle Craft market, visit www. circlecraftmarket.net. Route maps and information on the 19th annual East Side Culture Crawl is available at www.culturecrawl.ca.

A classic case of whodunit Imagine That! Productions takes on one of the world’s most popular murder mysteries
THE MOUSETRAP M IR ANDA GATHER COLE Times Reporter
It’s the early 1950s, and guests are just arriving at the Ralston’s quaint manor in the English countryside, when the police call with unexpected news. A murder has happened, and the evidence connects it right to the manor. Like the board game Clue, one of the guests is responsible, but no one is speaking up. Who is the culprit? Audiences have to stay right to the end of the show to find out. The Mousetrap, presented by Imagine That! Productions in Langley, is one of the most popular whodunits in history, running continuously since it first opened in London, England in 1952. “I’ve never been in a show with so much tension,” said Langley actor Paul Kobilke, who plays Detective Sergeant Trotter in the play. “The kind of tension where after you’re done rehearsal, you need to hug it out with everybody. It’s a very tense show. There’s some lighthearted moments as well, there’s a bit of com-
edy, but in general it’s a very tense, suspenseful show.” Playing this weekend (Nov. 13-15) at The Venue in downtown Langley, the show is as much a thrill for the audiences as it is for the actors. Most of the cast and crew have worked together in the past, and have become close friends. “It’s this really awesome family,” Kobilke said. “It’s a really safe place, which is awesome when you’re doing this kind of theatre and you’re really putting yourself out there. It’s a nice feeling to feel safe and that you can explore your character and the art form of theatre.” Kobilke, who is pursuing a theatre degree at Trinity Western University, has been performing with Imagine That! for 11 years, and says there is a “nice camaraderie” in the group. “It’s not super cut-throat,” he said. “Everybody is good friends in the production, which is super nice to not have to be one way on stage and then off stage be a different way.” Although musical theatre

Tell them what’s going on. I’m kind of like that the whole show, I push people pretty hard to the breaking point, because I want the information.” Directed by Faith Toronchuk and stage managed by Chellé Tanner, the play also includes actors Cindy Pervan, Ward Pervan, Emily Wheeler, Derek Usher, Janet Erickson, Aaron Wheeler and Jared Erickson.

Lightning junior teams rule at district finals GARY AH U J A Ti me s Spo r t s
Step one is out of the way. “This is what we say is the first step until the ultimate goal, which is a provincial championship,” explained Langley Christian coach Carol Hofer. Her Lightning squad had just dispatched the Credo Christian Kodiaks three sets to none to win the Langley district junior boys volleyball title last week (Nov. 5) at the Langley Events Centre. The Lightning won the first two sets quite handily, 25-11 and 2514. The Kodiaks — the second seed — led in the third set. “We have always just focused on our side of the net and early on in that third set, we were making a lot of unforced errors that we needed to clean up,” Hofer said. “So I just reminded them of that. “I called a timeout and said let’s push the reset button and they did. They responded well.” Winning the district title wasn’t much of

a surprise as Langley Christian has won three other tournaments this season and has yet to lose a match. Up next are the Fraser Valley championships, which run this week at Charles Best Secondary in Coquitlam. The Lightning are joined at provincials by both Credo Christian and Langley Fundamental. The Titans beat Brookswood in the third-place game at the district championships. “We need to keep getting better every day and focusing on what we need to do to be successful,” Hofer said, adding that a strong service game is important. “Offensively, we have a lot of good hitters so we can keep our offence balanced so we don’t get too predictable. “And defensively, we just need to transition the ball.” ••• The Langley Christian Lightning girls team heads into the Fraser Valley champi-
onships as the second seed and determined to break through. “I think realistically, if we play our best, we can push to win Fraser Valleys,” said Lightning junior girls coach Kevin Brownlee. “It will be tough, there are two or three teams we have battled all season long. “(And) we haven’t quite cracked first in a tournament yet, but we are always right there.” The Lightning head into the Fraser Valley tournament — which runs this week at Delta’s Sands Secondary and Burnsview Secondary — on a high note after capturing the Langley District junior girls volleyball title last week (Nov. 5) at the Langley Events Centre. The Lightning defeated the Langley Saints three sets to none. Langley Christian won the first set 25-18 and then dominated the second set, 25-8. The third set was the closest of the three, but the top-seed Lightning still won 25-21. The Saints were

Both the Saints and the fourth-seed Walnut Grove Gators (4-3) will join Langley Christian at the Fraser Valley tournament. The Gators beat the Titans in the bronze medal game at the district tournament. Brownlee said the key for his team is hard work. “We just work hard and want to out-work every other team we play,” he said. “We don’t want the ball to touch our floor.”

Saints set for Whalers in playoffs
A dominant defence has helped the Langley Saints march into the playoffs. The senior boys football team won their first division title since the program was launched a few years back thanks to a 14-0 victory last Friday against the Hugh Boyd Trojans. The game was played in Richmond. The Saints finished the regular season at 4-0, good for first place in the AA Southern Conference. Langley had the entire
league’s stingiest defence, allowing a minuscule 3.25 points per game. Azuka Okoli and Max Joseph scored the Saints’ touchdowns while Isaiah Okoli led the defence with 15-plus tackles. The first-place finish sets up a first round playoff opponent in the Ballenas Whalers, who finished fourth in the Western Conference. The game will be played on Friday afternoon (2:30 p.m.) at McLeod Athletic Park.
••• Langley landed eight players on the conference all-star team. On offence, quarterback Wes Van Vliet, running back Azuka Okoli, Max Joseph (receiver), Pandeep Heyer (tight end) and Jaidon Courchesne and Ross Baykey (offensive line) all earned all-star recognition. And on the other side, of the ball Defensive lineman Ryan Alcos was named an all-star while Isaiah Okoli earned defensive MVP for the conference.

Spartans streak ends with loss in gold medal game For the first time in a long time — 17 matches to be exact — the Trinity Western Spartans were on the losing end of a score. The Spartans women’s soccer lost 1-0 to the UBC Thunderbirds — who also beat them in September — in the gold medal game of the Canada West championships on Sunday afternoon at UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium. In between the two games, the Spartans had gone 13-0-3. UBC scored in the sixth minute. “I’m extremely proud of how we fought and battled in a tough game,” said Spartans coach Graham Roxburgh. “Obviously they scored early and we probably hadn’t started yet and were a little lax early on. “Credit to UBC because they had a little bit more hunger. We had one or two chances to equalize and I was quite pleased with the way we responded in the second half but we just couldn’t find that last connection.” The goal snapped TWU’s shutout streak at 728 minutes — more than eight full games ago. But despite not winning the gold, they did still qualify for the CIS national championships, which run Nov. 12 to 15 back at UBC. The Spartans are seeded fifth and
open on Thursday against No. 4 Cape Breton, the Atlantic University Sport champions. ••• Trinity Western’s Rachel Hutchinson was named the Canada West Rookie of the Year after she scored five goals and added six assists to finish in a tie for fourth in the conference in points and first amongst rookie athletes. Along with Hutchinson, the Spartans had five players named to Canada West all-stars, with goalie Ally Williamson, midfielders Vanessa Kovacs and Ali Oliverio and forward Krista Gommeringer named first team all-stars and striker Seina Kashima named a second team all-star. ••• Trinity Western Spartans’ fifth-year players Brayden Gant and Jarvis Ambaka were both named Canada West second team all-stars. Gant, a solidifying force in the midfield, earned conference recognition all five seasons for the Spartans men’s soccer team. Ambaka, a speedy striker, led the team with four goals and two assists and this was the third time he earned second team all-star honours in his five seasons. The Spartans placed fourth over the weekend at the Canada West championships.

The world is coming to Surrey, and it’s been years in the making. “It’s amazing to me, I find it phenomenal, how hard everybody is working,” said Greg Timm, committee chairman for the Women’s World Softball Championship, which will take place next July at Surrey’s Softball City sporting complex. Thirty international teams will compete for the sport’s crown. Canada enters the fray as the defending Pan Am Games champions. “This time around, they have the best team they’ve ever had, in my opinion,” Timm said. To fit the tournament and its guests, the City of Surrey is spending $1.3 million to buff-up the grounds at Softball City. “The renovations and upgrades will be a legacy for softball players into the future,” said Owen Croy, manager with Surrey’s parks department. Croy said the million-plus will be used to improve the ground’s fields, backstops, dugouts, lighting system, and the buildings, while Timm said the upgraded diamonds will have new dirt, irrigation, and drainage. Softball City is a landmark within South Surrey, but it’s also 25 years old. “Like facilities that have been around for a while, it needed a little bit of refurbishment to make it absolutely world-class,” said Croy. More than 5,000 spectators are expected for Team Canada’s games over the 10-day event Participants will include the 30 international squads, plus all those involved in the Canadian Open youth tournament —in all, 110 to 120 teams playing at once. “The actual fields, the grounds, were tired,” said Timm. “With the support of the City, they have re-done all of the playing surfaces now, all four diamonds.” Timm said the committee has reached out to athletes from countries that have participated in past Canadian Opens and tried to address any concerns or recommendations they provided. The tournament’s existence is a credit to the highest office in Surrey, an event created with the work of former mayor Dianne Watts and current mayor Linda Hepner, who were both instrumental and involved in pushing to win the bid. Watts was even in Colombia when Surrey was awarded the World Championships, and Hepner is seeing efforts through until the first game. Hepner and her council also

pushed forward with their Sport Tourism Strategy, which Croy credits as the “impetus” for all the work going into hosting the event. “I’m really excited because it’s going to showcase Surrey… to have it here in Surrey, I’m very proud that it’s going to be here, and I’m anxious to welcome the world,” Hepner said. The tournament is expected to be a big boost in tourism for Surrey – that it will sell “some 7,500 hotel rooms” and deliver an “economic impact of probably $20 million,” she said. But the World Championships won’t just show off the host — it will show off the sport. Softball is one of the world’s largest participant sports, but the best athletes are often quarantined to alternative ESPN channels, or off television entirely. The stars are heroes to every girl who plays the game, but the game exists in a cloud that seems to orbit around bigger sports, mainly professional male sports. “I think that’s amazing and, yes, it’s a bit like the Rodney Dangerfield of sports,” said Hepner. “It doesn’t get the attention it deserves.” The organizers of the World Championships — and the mayor — aren’t just hoping to put on a great show for Surrey, or for the softball world, but they’re also hoping to stand out only two weeks before the sport goes after its own bid. A week after the World Championships in B.C., the International Olympic Committee will vote on whether to include women’s softball in the 2020 Summer Olympics. Asked how the World Championships will be different than the Canadian Open, also known by many as the former Canada Cup, which is held on the same grounds every year, Timm said: “The interesting part for our local people is, we’ve never seen the best teams in the world, with their best roster in the biggest games.” Set-up has so far relied on the hard work of volunteers, support from “all levels of government,” and legacy sponsors. “That part has been really quite inspiring,” he said. “We’re out in many areas right now, engaging, and anyone who wants to volunteer can just track one of our people down.” The bid took a good 18 months of preparation and planning, he said, and the real work will always be just beginning . Anyone who wants to volunteer can do so online at Surrey2016.com, or call 604-536-9287.

IN MEMORIAM
IN MEMORIAM
On Remembrance Day… Earl Sterne I remember my dad driving out to the Vancouver Port to pick up our Uncle Earl. We arrived just in time to see him coming down the deck of the Navy Warship in his uniform with a big duffel bag & his shiny shoes. He would put me on his lap, he would tell me great stories about his travels & his many tattoos he’d gotten during World War II. My favorites were a very large snake slithering down his leg, a Hola girl that somehow he made dance! The snake was a gift from his crew-mates that they’d decided to give him while they held him down. This was some story.. Uncle Earl told the same stories to the next generation. These stories will be forever remembered. We lost Uncle Earl three years ago. We miss him dearly. Forever Donna Williams Sterne, Jennifer Williams, John Sterne, Darlene Sterne & the whole Sterne family.
