“Don’t worry, we aren’t going to ignore the leftbrained learners,” said Stewart.

“But our children have to be prepared for the global

economy so they can focus on sets of skills that will help them be successful.”

He said the future belongs to creators, inventors, entrepreneurs, big-picture thinkers and people who can work collaboratively in business markets all over the world.

Gone will be students sitting in rows of desks, with a teacher lecturing from the front of the room.

Memorization tests will become part of the past as will textbook learning, all of it to be replaced by researchdriven schoolwork.

“We aren’t abandoning literacy and numeracy, but we are supporting a deeper learning,” he said. Students will still write provincial exams but how those tests will be delivered and graded may be different.

There will be a higher level of social responsibility incorporated in lessons.

Aboriginal culture will be a focus as well.

Where the controversy lies is in the possible elimination of report cards and percentage-based grades and GPAs. “You can’t do report cards under the new curriculum. It won’t capture work done by students.”

But Stewart said the province hasn’t yet detailed how that will look for secondary students who want to go into university.

Trustees question new B.C. school teaching plans

news

Residents ‘between rock and hard place’ for water

FROM FRONT:

FROM FRONT:

trict has done away with report cards for elementary-aged students, instead going with a student/ teacher/parent participation model in which they set goals for the year.

Not all trustees were as enthusiastic about the new curriculum as Stewart. Trustee Megan Dykeman is worried B.C. Grade 12 students will be at a disadvantage if they want to go to university out of province or country.

“I don’t think handing in a report with four smiley faces on it will translate well for students wanting to get into university in other countries,” quipped Dykeman.

But Stewart argued that the portfolio model of graduation is becoming the norm globally, and percentage-based grading is not a true reflection of a student’s skills.

Trustee Shelly Colburn worried that to be successful, the new curriculum requires parent participation.

“There aren’t always parents in the picture.

Then what for those students?” she asked.

Stewart said those students are in the system right now under the former curriculum so they already have supports in place.

The province has allotted time this year to train teachers to deliver the new curriculum.

244 Street neighbours Jim Ward, Anna Ward, Ian Wightman and Steve Upton applied for a connection to the Township water system after the private water company that serves them got approval to raise their fees from $35 to $354 a month in order to modernize its 42-year-old system.

Charlie Fox and Kim Richter and Ramin Seifi, the Township general manager of community development and engineering, a group of residents has launched a petition to have municipal waterlines installed. “(The company) left us between a rock and a hard place,” said one of the residents, Ian Wightman.

The hookup would affect 35 residents, slightly more than half of them Nectar subscribers, while the others have their own wells.

Under Township regulations, if more than half the property owners vote for the connection, all property owners will have to pay.

Peter Walton said he is sympathetic

to the situation of the Nectar subscribers, but believes their plan is unfair to the 16 properties like his, which have their own wells and don’t have to rely on either Nectar or the Township.

“I’m against it,” Walton told Wightman outside the open house.

“I need to be convinced otherwise.”

Walton estimates he would have to pay $20,000 (payable in installments over 20 years) plus the cost of connection and capping his well for a water system he doesn’t need.

A Sept. 21 open house held by Township staff found enough support to justify a formal survey of affected property owners. Supporters of the plan have 60 days to canvass the neighbourhood for signatures.

Local farmers groups say trade deal acceptable

By TYLER OLSEN Aldergrove Star

Local farming groups have expressed relief as a landmark trade deal between Canada, the United States and 10 other Pacific Rim countries appears to have left the current supply management system in place.

The Fraser Valley is home to the majority of British Columbia’s dairy, poultry and egg farms, and prior to the announcement Monday morning of the TransPacific Partnership (TPP), producers had voiced concerns that it would do away with the supply management system, which limits access to the country’s dairy and poultry markets.

But Trade Minister and Abbotsford MP Ed Fast said Monday the agreement will protect the country’s poultry and dairy farmers from international competition.

And farmers’ representatives in the Fraser Valley say there has been relief as details of the agreement come out.

“On supply management we have been successful on protecting the three key pillars of sup-

ply management, being production controls, price controls and import controls,” Fast said. “We do believe the outcome is one that very much reflects Canada’s longterm interests and will provide the supply-managed sector with a bright future.”

Canada will allow some imports under the deal, but they will be limited to a fraction of the country’s total production. The TPP will allow imports comprising about 3.25 per cent of dairy production, 2.3 per cent of egg production, 2.1 per cent of chicken production and two per cent of turkey production.

Farmers will also receive some $4.3 billion over 15 years in income and quota guarantees from the federal government, and there will also be a $450 million program to improve processing facilities.

Ray Nickel, with the BC Poultry Association, suggested the deal was as good as farmers could hope for, even if it could pose a challenge.

“Obviously, nobody in my business welcomes the fact that there’s going

“At the end of the day, for that, we are grateful.”

However, Garry Fehr, for egg farmers in B.C., I think we might be able to the director of UFV’s weather this and come out Agriculture Centre of the other side without a Excellence, said the deal will force farms to modsignificant impact.”

A press release issued ernize to keep up with Monday by the BC Dairy global competitors. While Association suggested some have already taken ambivalence on the part those steps, newer, less-

established farms may find themselves playing catch-up.

“Those larger dairy farms that have already invested will probably be fine. It’s the smaller farms that don’t have the capital, especially the newer entrants, that are really going to struggle because they don’t have the cash.

They bought into a system that they thought was stable, and now they don’t know what they’re dealing with and they don’t necessarily have the capital to invest.”

Fehr said the small quotas are unlikely to significantly affect prices, but that the government program for farmers – most of which is meant to make up for financial losses – will cost taxpayers.

The hope among farmers, Fehr said, will be that Canada can increase its exports to other TPP countries.

“I think that’s the fear in that we don’t know if that’s the first bit of erosion in the supply management system: Is it indicative of what’s coming, or will we sit here for 10 years and re-negotiate again?”

The agreement

must still be ratified by Parliament, and the trade pact may become a major issue in the federal election as voters head to the polls in less than two weeks.

The Conservatives have trumpeted their record on free-trade deals; the Liberals say they generally support free trade, but will look at the details of the agreement; and NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has recently suggested he may not back the agreement if his party controls Parliament.

And Green Party leader Elizabeth May accused the government of “double-crossing” farmers.

Among Fast’s opponents in the Abbotsford riding, NDP candidate Jen Martel said, “I’m deeply concerned that concessions will be made that will have a devastating impact on local farmers and any supply-managed industries in agriculture.”

Green candidate Stephen Fowler said, “The TPP has been negotiated in a closed, secretive and undemocratic manner.”

Liberal Peter Njenga has not returned interview requests.

‘Dr. Frankenstein’ of weapons pleads guilty

By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star

Kimberlly Akrainetz of Super Save Gas (seated, holding photo, with her children seated beside her) received special recognition from North Otter Elementary school for Super Save’s donation of $18,000 toward the new playground equipment at the school.

North Otter Elementary’s Parents Advisory Council president Natalie Franklin (top left) and vice president Laura Tatarov unveiled a park bench at the playground, inscribed with a dedication to the Super Save company.

The playground’s official opening ceremony on Sept. 25 also paid tribute to the other contributors to the $85,000 project at the school.

In addition to the school families who

contributed what they could to the project, the donors included the Nelson family in memory of the late Coleton Nelson, Milt Kruger of On Line Collision (who contributed $15,000), JD Farms (which contributed $5,000) and the Aldergrove and Langley Central Rotary Clubs (which contributed a total of $10,000). Rempel Brothers Concrete also donated delivery of free concrete to enable installation of footings for the new playground equipment.

The installation of the new equipment was performed by several dozen volunteers, including school families and Township fire fighters a month previous, just prior to the school’s opening for the new school year.

A Langley dad once dubbed the ‘Dr. Frankenstein’ of weapons pleaded guilty to dozens of weapons-related charges during in Supreme Court on Monday.

Bradley Michael Friesen’s trial began in New Westminster on Sept.

28, where he was facing 47 firearm and gun trafficking related charges.

His lawyer then indicated that the alleged gun maker would be entering a guilty plea. Friesen, 38, appeared next on Oct. 5. A presentence report has been ordered for later date.

He has been in custody since his arrest last year.

On the morning of July 17, 2014, Friesen was arrested while he was with his five-year-old son at a campground in Osoyoos.

Numerous firearms and illegal firearms-related devices were seized from Friesen’s van at the campground. Many of the weapons found in the van were stashed underneath a booster seat in which Friesen’s young son was seated,

Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. (CFSEU-BC) and U.S. investigation began, resulting in investigators conducting surveillance of Friesen.

“It did not take long before he was observed mailing packages of parts and silencers to addresses in Canada, the U.S., and Australia,” said CFSEU-BC’s Sgt. Linsday Houghton at the press conference at RCMP headquarters.

Police also observed the man visiting a Walnut Grove home on 95A Avenue, which officers suspected of being a workshop for making silencers and gun parts.

Investigators obtained search warrants for his residence in the 21000-block of 95A Avenue, his pickup truck, his workshop on another property on 95A and his van and tent at the campground.

Friesen rented two properties on 95A Avenue.

It’s unclear if the U.S. plans to try him as well. Last year, a prosecutor started the process to send him south, but since then, Friesen’s trial date was set in Canada.

The Township of Langley and the City of Langley will offer their first joint Household Hazardous Waste Plus Recycling Event to provide all of Langley’s residents a convenient site to dispose of hazardous waste that can be dangerous to people and the surrounding environment.

The annual drivethrough, drop-off event will take place on Saturday, October 17, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, October 18, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Township’s Operations Centre, 4700 – 224 Street.

Acceptable materials may be dropped off for free and proof of residency in the Township or City is required.

“Last year, just over 41 tonnes of waste was collected from over 800 vehicles, including nearly 24 tonnes of household hazardous waste, two tonnes of batteries, 10 tonnes of paint products, and two tonnes of pesticides,” said Debbie Fleming, solid waste coordinator with the Township of Langley.

“Small appliances and electronics were also collected, meaning another three tonnes of waste was diverted from the landfill.”

“We are so pleased to be partnering with the City of Langley and making sure even more potentially harmful products are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner,” Fleming said. “This is also a great opportunity to educate the public on the importance of waste reduction and how to properly dispose of these items.”

Kara Jefford, manager of engineering at the City of Langley, said, “The City of Langley is pleased to participate

Sky-high accomplishments of a down-to-earth man

Unpretentious, rather than humble, is about the best word I can come up with to describe Chris Hadfield.

He is a man who spent more than half a year in space, has flown on three missions beyond our atmosphere, is the first Canadian to walk in space, and commanded the International Space Station.

And those are but a few of his incredible accomplishments.

Yet to hear him speak about his experiences is to listen to a man describing what seem to be almost ordinary, though other-worldly, events.

He is, beyond a doubt, one of the most classy and captivating speakers I have ever had the privilege to listen to. Despite all the time in space, Chris Hadfield is about as down-to-earth as you can get.

Describing the landing and extraction from the capsule that carried him back to Earth, and the effect on his body and brain from the reentry, he said, “All you want to do is puke, but the guys helping you out want to talk, so you talk, then you puke.”

He also drew smiles and chuckles from the audience at Abbotsford Centre last Saturday night when he told of the violent shaking astronauts experience in the first two minutes of liftoff, when the booster rockets propel them from zero to thousands of miles an hour, then the

almost serenity of travel as the space shuttle separates on the final leg of the journey to the ISS. Though he is a colonel in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and from his first glider flight as a kid has flown 70 different types of aircraft, Hadfield was actually a civilian, though a member of the Canadian Space Agency, when he commanded the International Space Station, having retired from the military some years prior.

And not only has he orbited the earth thousands of times in the ISS and space capsules, he has gone round our globe 10 times as his own “heavenly body” during the two times he spent on space walks outside the station.

He brought forth a few chuckles when he said, while walking in space, he actually let go of the space station framework for a few seconds, just to see what it was like to be truly free of the bonds of Earth and man.

One of Chris Hadfield’s greatest accomplishments, however, has been his ability to bring the appreciation of space to the masses. His use of social media, his photographs from space, and the recording of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” that captured the world have made him perhaps the most recognized and renowned astronaut of the modern era.

His description of holding a guitar in the weightlessness

of space was entertaining, as was the mention of the slight rewriting of Bowie’s song (with his permission, of course) – “The astronaut died in the original version.

Couldn’t have that!”

An interesting aside to the song was that Hadfield had requested that NASA in Texas provide a guitar for the space station. Oddly enough, what was provided was a small instrument made right here on the Lower Mainland of British Columbia!

Couple that with the Canadarm developed in Richmond, Hadfield’s basic military training done in Chilliwack and his first university experience at Royal Roads in Victoria, our province has played a prominent role in the exploration of space. Now in retirement from the military and CSA, Hadfield lives in Victoria with his family.

What led him to become Canada’s most celebrated astronaut? He was nine years old when in 1969 he watched the first men walk on the moon and determined then that he wanted to go into space.

Set a goal, he said, and do everything you can towards achieving it.

He did just that, and the world, and space, is a better place because of that nineyear-old’s determination to succeed where few have gone before. markrushton@abbynews.com

Editor: In October, three interactive, drop-in Open Houses will be held by the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement to gather information on how people want to be engaged during planning and development processes.

We are asking everyone who has an interest in how our community develops to attend, because every opinion counts. The input you provide now will have an impact on our community’s future.

People have different ideas about how our neighbourhoods should grow and develop and we want to be sure there is strong two-way communication between the Township and residents regarding these important issues. Not everyone will agree with the decisions Council makes, but it is imperative to us that everyone has a chance to express their opinions and feel that they have been heard.

To do that, we want to be sure we are connecting and communicating with the public in the way that works best for them. The Township already provides several opportunities for public inputsuch as charrettes, open houses, and public hearings - but we want to know if there are different and better ways to gather people’s viewpoints.

That is why we need to hear from you. On behalf of the Public Engagement Committee and Township Council, I am asking everyone in the community who is interested in development and how our community is growing to come out to have your say.

Please make a point of attending one of the Open Houses and tell us how you want to interact with the Township. The drop-in sessions will feature interactive stations, voting games, a dialogue circle, and a visioning wall so that people can provide input in a variety of fun, interesting ways. Whether you stay for a few minutes or several hours, stop in and make your opinion count.

The information collected will help form a new engagement policy, guidelines, and suggested tools for development processes and policies that will be presented to Council for consideration later this year.

The Public Engagement Open Houses will be held Tuesday, Oct. 20, 5 - 9 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre; Thursday, Oct. 22, 5- 9 p.m., at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre; and Saturday, Oct. 24, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. at George Preston Recreation Centre.

See you there!

Mayor Jack Froese, Township of Langley

Taking a stand on climate

Editor: I want my vote in this election to stand strong on the issue of climate change and our urgent need to protect our environment.

I want my grandchildren to experience clean air and water so that they are able to enjoy the benefits of living in the best country in the world. We have to be tough and put the quality of our life before economic greed. We need our government to take the appropriate actions and create environmental laws that protect our environment. Most importantly, our government must hold those accountable who deliberately destroy our environment by imposing more than fines.I want better protection of our natural resources. I want us to leave an environmental legacy for future generations. We can elect a government that represents our collective voice.

Kim Bucholtz, Aldergrove

Can we help the refugees?

Editor: As I watch the news I see thousands of Syrian refuges moving across Europe and I see many groups of healthy young men among them. This begs the question, why are these young men not in the Syrian army helping to defend their country? If they are allowed to emigrate into Canada will they help defend their new home if the need shall ever arise or will they high-tail it back to Syria?

The government sees these refuges as future taxpayers so they are prepared to overload our health care and welfare system for future tax income. Before you can tax people they must be employed. At this time we are having a hard time employing our own young people and skilled workers. As the government spends money they don’t have all Canadians who worked and paid for our services will lose out as those services are bled dry.

Elderly Canadians now have to work two more years to get the pension. Our medical system is on its knees. Canada cannot afford the humanitarian effort as proposed.

Tammy Rose may not have had the prettiest pumpkin at the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off competition at Krause Berry Farm on Saturday, but its scars sparked curiosity from both judges and spectators.

Large grooves covered the top and sides of the 298-pound pumpkin, thanks to its summertime neighbours — four horses and a goat. The animals spent the entire season trying to chomp down on the giant gourd, which Rose admits she

It was a rough summer for Tammy Rose’s 298-pound pumpkin, thanks to four hungry horses and a goat. largely “forgot about” in pumpkin growing — she the South Langley field. placed 13th out of 15 The contest marked entries from across the her first attempt at giant Pacific Northwest.

Langley’s own Scott Carley won the competition with a giant pumpkin weighing 1,411 pounds.

This is the second win in a couple weeks for Carley, a giant pumpkin hobbyist with his own website, www.giant pumpkinsbc.com.

On Sep 26, Carley’s giant pumpkin weighed in at 1,427.5 pounds and placed first out of 20 entries in Skagit Valley, Wash. He was close to the site record of 1,450 pounds and is heading to the U.S. again next week in hopes of breaking that world record.

Seeing the forest and the trees

VICTORIA – There was a flurry of excitement in the B.C. legislature last week, as Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington released documents suggesting that a multinational manufacturing company continued to buy up B.C. farms for carbon offsets after they said last June they would stop.

False alarm, as it turns out.

Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick clarified that three more farms in the Peace and Cariboo region had indeed been bought, but the company was merely following legal advice to close deals on farms that it had already agreed to purchase.

The company, British-based cleaning product and pharmaceutical maker Reckitt Benckiser (RB) confirmed this. A company official reiterated that its program to buy farms and replant them with trees is suspended.

By the time the B.C. government became aware of this global public relations scheme, thanks to the work of NDP MLA Lana Popham and others, about 10,000 hectares of farmland was already planted with seedlings. RB initially said they were buying up abandoned and unproductive farms, but local government officials disputed that.

RB soon realized that undermining already precarious farming communities was going to provide the opposite of the green publicity they sought, at least in B.C. The company told me it is now looking to switch its carbon offset program to replanting forest areas depleted

B.C.’s

by pine beetle and fire.

I’ll believe that when I see it, but on the face of it, this sounds almost as questionable as converting farmland back to forests. Pine forests need fire to regenerate, so fires have been part of the regeneration of the ecosystem since the retreat of the last Ice Age. Beetle-kill areas are already coming back, and they were never completely denuded in any case, so the notion of manual planting these areas seems impractical. Most are now criss-crossed with deadfall and all but impassible.

Another situation that received little public attention was a report issued late this summer by the B.C. Forest Practices Board about forest stewardship plans.

The board reviewed 43 stewardship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared as required under provincial law by forest tenure holders on Crown land. They are supposed to deal with things like where roads go and how streams are protected.

This is the management system put in place in 2003, when the B.C. Liberal government changed its approach to forest management.

Gone was the NDP’s infamous seven-volume “Forest Practices Code,”

which attempted to micromanage every detail of a timber licence, right down to inspecting for litter left at a logging site.

In came “results-based” forest management, where licence holders had to produce a plan showing stream protection and other values. The Forest Practices Board has found these plans often aren’t good for much, although results are generally good when they follow up with on-the-ground audits of actual timber harvest areas.

The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal language that makes them very difficult for public understanding or review.” Little has changed since a similar finding in 2006.

During that time, the forests ministry was turned into Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, with greatly increased responsibility over wildlife, mining, gas drilling and so on.

Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, who traveled the province as NDP forests critic in recent years, says the problem now is there just aren’t enough people on the ground to assess what’s going on in our huge expanse of Crown land.

Meanwhile the city media covers professional protesters issuing demands about the Walbran Valley.

Rolston awarded Order of BC

By MIRANDA GATHERCOLE Aldergrove Star

In 1986, Norman Rolston watched his aunt Maida, crippled with arthritis, push a kitchen chair across the floor as she tried to walk.

Watching his aunt struggle, Rolston got the idea that if he attached wheels to her chair, it would be easier for her to use.

Fastening an old shopping cart and a stroller together, Rolston made a walker for his aunt that she could use while shopping.

After her friends saw the invention, they all wanted one too, and soon Rolston couldn’t keep up with the orders.

He eventually designed a prototype and officially created the Able Walker.

Much different from other walkers available at the

time — which were often unsafe — the Able Walker had swivel castors on the wheels, supportive handholds and brakes.

Rolston then gifted the invention to the world by not patenting it.

Today, millions of people have relied on his walker to provide them with mobility and independence.

And for that, he was awarded a 2015 Order of British Columbia.

This is the highest form of recognition the province can give its citizens.

City council honoured Rolston, a Langley resident, during its Sept. 14 council meeting.

Council gave Roltson a standing ovation, and then presented a plaque while playing the song, Able Walker in the background.

“With our gratitude from

the citizens of the City of Langley and the community as a whole, thank you very much, and your family should be very proud of you,” City Mayor Ted Schaffer said to Rolston.

This is just one of many accolades he has received.

In 1993, he was awarded a Special Humanitarian Award, recognizing the profound effect the Able Walker has had on seniors’ freedom and independence.

The Los Angeles Times voted the Able Walker one of the “Top Ten International Inventions of the 1990s,” and recognized it as a device that improved the quality of life for all generations.

He has also had prior nominations for both the Order of B.C and the Order of Canada.

Baking to biking, Mountie rides for cancer cure Aldergrove Star

He has been baking his way into the hearts and stomachs of Cops for Cancer riders and support staff for many years — fueling them with sandwiches and snacks from his Langley bakery.

Cedarbrook Bakery and Deli’s maple bacon doughnuts are said to be a rider favourite.

Const. Mark Peterse notes that not too many people can say they have been on both sides of the doughnut counter — as both a bakery owner and police officer.

He can add spandex to his list of uniforms, since

But a phone call from Depot in Regina one week before the ride changed his plans.

Fast forward two years and he is getting his chance to ride as a member of the Surrey RCMP. Growing up, Peterse lost his best friend to cancer. Ever since, he has been committed to raising funds for cancer research and support programs.

Juggling the shift work of general duty policing, family life, and bike training isn’t always easy.

Racing siblings share winner’s podium

An Aldergrove racing family has ended the season with brothers Zackery and Jaden Medynski finishing in the top two quarter midget racing spots.

Racing in the senior Honda 120 cc class, the brothers finished the season at Aldergrove’s Langley Quarter Midget Association’s track, first and second in total points.

Younger brother Jaden beat Zackery for the championship, held Sept. 26-27, by seven points in a field of 200 cars from western Canada and USA. Earlier in the season in May at the Little Wheels championship in Graham, Washington, Zackery had beaten Jaden in nine points races.

The brothers finished second and third, respectively, against 36 cars in their class.

Students at Aldergrove’s Shortreed elementary and Betty Gilbert middle schools, Zackery, 12, is in his fourth year of racing, while Jaden, 10, is in his third.
