Bittersweet victory for MP Warawa By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star

Canadians have elected a new prime minister, showing the Conservatives the door after 10 years in power and handing Liberal leader Justin Trudeau a majority government. Locally, it was a bittersweet night for MP Mark Warawa after voters gave the Conservative another mandate — this time to represent Langley-Aldergrove as a member of the official opposition. Warawa called the new prime minister “Justin Hairdo” during a speech to a subdued victory party held in a Milner greenhouse Monday night. The re-elected MP was applauded by more than 100 supporters as he arrived with his wife Diane, but the loss to the Liberals had clearly cast a pall on the celebration of his victory. “There’s a God that we can trust,” Warawa said. “Our country does need our prayers.” Warawa said the Conservatives would work hard to hold Trudeau and the Liberals accountable, especially when it comes to raising taxes and balancing the budget. “We’re going to make sure that he hears your voice,” Warawa said. “There is a real world, and you can’t live on fairy tales and cotton candy.” As Warawa was speaking about Trudeau, one supporter yelled out “nice hair,” a reference to the Conservative ad campaign that dismissed the Liberal leader as “just not ready.” “He does have nice hair, “ Warawa said. “I wish I had his hair.”

Zoo’s red panda is out and about Aldergrove Star

Arun, the Greater Vancouver Zoo’s male Red Panda, made his way out Tuesday, Oct. 13, to explore his new outdoor enclosure at the Aldergrove zoo. “It was a very exciting time for Arun and we were thrilled with his keen interest of this new home, behaviour and health,” said zoo general manager Jody

Henderson. Arun arrived in June from the Assiniboine Zoo in Winnipeg as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Species Survival program (SSP). The SSP program helps the survival of species that are threatened or endangered in the wild by maintaining genetic diversity through managed breeding programs.

The Red Panda is not closely related to the Giant Panda and in fact, it is not even a panda at all. It is believed the Red Panda was given the name “panda” which derived from the Nepalese words “nigalya ponya” meaning “bamboo eater.” These little guys are so unique they are in a family classification all of their own SEE: Page 3 called Ailuridae.

Panda settles in FROM FRONT:

Red Pandas are listed as endangered as the population is estimated at less than 10,000 individuals, with a continuing decline of greater than 10 percent over the next three generations (estimated at 30 years) due to poaching and habitat loss. It had taken over two years for the Greater Vancouver Zoo to quali-

fy for participation in the SSP for Red Pandas. Through population management and conservation efforts such as public education, research, reintroduction and field conservation programs that are supported by the SSP program the zoo can assure a sustainable future for animals that are currently being threatened in the wild.

Interior Monday, as Liberal Stephen Fuhr knocked off Conservative incumbent Ron Cannan in KelownaLake Country. Trudeau thanked supporters in his Montreal riding, and began preparations to implement his new government policies after nine and a half years of Conservative rule in Ottawa. “For three years we had a very old-fashioned strategy,” Trudeau said. “We met with and talked with as many Canadians as we could, and we listened.” Major commitments by the Liberal campaign include legalizing recre-

ational marijuana sales and running three years of deficits to build infrastructure across the country. Trudeau has also promised to scrap the Conservative government’s approval for the Northern Gateway pipeline and enforce a ban on oil tanker traffic on B.C.’s north coast. The Conservative Party issued a statement that Stephen Harper would resign as leader but would stay on as MP in his Calgary riding, where he won a seventh term. “While tonight’s result is not what we had hope for, the Canadian people are never wrong,” Harper told supporters, adding his congratulations to Trudeau. On Vancouver Island, seven-time Conservative MP John Duncan was knocked off by NDP challenger Gord Johns in Courtenay-Alberni, one of the new seats created for the 2015 election.

Liberal candidates, propelled by the popularity of leader Justin Trudeau, pulled off multiple upsets in Monday’s federal election and captured 17 ridings, including the North Shore, nearly all of Surrey and parts of the Fraser Valley, up from just two seats previously. Among the defeated are National Revenue Minister Kerry Lynne Findlay in Delta, a traditional Conservative stronghold. The new MP there is Liberal Carla Qualtrough, a human rights lawyer and paralympian.

Conservatives survived in their safest Valley seats, as did New Democrats such as former MLA Jenny Kwan in Vancouver East and Peter Julian in New Westminster-Burnaby.

The NDP won 14 seats, with 33 per cent of the vote, while the Conservatives got 10 seats – down from 21 – with 23.8 per cent support.

Master plan for Langley hospital By MONIQUE TAMMINGA Aldergrove Star

Langley residents will soon find out what capital investments Fraser Health will be making at Langley Memorial Hospital. Several years in the making, the LMH master plan is complete and “will act as a road map for investments,” promised Fraser Health CEO Michael Marchbank earlier this month. He was speaking in front of a packed room at at the Coast Hotel conference centre in Langley City during the Fraser Health board meeting, which was open to the public. Following the meeting, the board toured LMH. Langley’s hospital has not seen a major expansion since its opening in 1965. The only addition to the structure took place recently with a second-storey added to the hospital’s maternity ward. The population in Langley has exploded since 1965 and is expected to double in 30 years, with 12,500 of those people expected to be senior citizens, said FHA.

Langley Memorial Hospital was built in the mid-1960s. The new LMH executive director Jason Cook and Langley physician, Dr. Mitchell Fagan offered the board a look into what is being done differently at LMH. According to Fraser Health’s quarterly Quality Care report cards on all hospitals, LMH ranks among the best. It is the only one which has not had a C. Diff outbreak in two years. It is also the only hospital in the region with elective surgery waits no longer than 52 weeks. It is also one of only two hospitals with nurse practitoners (eight). Langley also hosts a large number of UBC medical residents. Admissions to LMH are slightly

Seasonal Local Produce

higher than the average, but ER visits are slightly lower than average. Langley’s overall population is more obese, and has higher rates of mood and anxiety disorders than most other communities in the region, said Cook. Of late, LMH was lacking in emergency doctors, but a recruitment process has resulted in 14 full-time ER physicians, said Fagan who has been a physician in Langley for 20 years. “We are also working on getting more family physicians for Langley residents,” he said. Unlike hospitals, such as Royal Columbian, that use their hallways to treat patients, LMH has a ‘no hallway beds’ rule. “We don’t believe hallway beds is appropriate care for patients,” said Cook. While discharge rates have improved dramatically, readmission rates are still a concern. “We’ve hired a co-ordinator in complex care to help with this,” said Cook. LMH has 203 acute care beds, 114 doctors, eight nurse practitoners and 20 medical residents.

Tough drunk driving penalties upheld By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star

Canada’s top court has upheld B.C.’s tough system of roadside penalties for impaired drivers, including vehicle impoundments, stiff fines and immediate 90-day licence suspensions. The Supreme Court of Canada handed down twin judgments Friday that back key elements of the provincial government’s policy after it was challenged by motorists. Justices said there was “no doubt” automatic roadside prohibitions are within the province’s jurisdiction and a valid regulatory measure. They rejected the argument of opponents that the penalties effectively create an offence that requires a right to a fair trial, not an instant decision by police after a failed blood-alcohol reading on a portable device. The court found the province’s “pressing and substantial” goal of enacting the scheme “was not to oust the criminal law, but rather to prevent death and serious injury on public roads by removing drunk drivers and deterring impaired driving.” Roadside penalties have largely supplanted criminal investigations and prosecutions for impaired driving in B.C. The amount of time and money expended on drunk driving cases in the courts and by police is down because of the nearly 70 per cent drop in impaired charges. Police still pursue criminal charges in cases of injury or

Editor: My family and I have just moved to Aldergrove and, although it is not without its problems (the downtown area is a bit unsightly and not having an indoor pool is really a shame), I am so impressed with this pleasant community. My family and I have visited many local shops, restaurants, cafes and parks and have felt so welcomed by the warm, small-town like hospitality of the people here. On Saturday, we attended the Community Barbecue held by the Township of Langley. It was so nice to have a fun, free family event with activities my children loved. We cannot wait to attend the next one. Of all the good things we have experienced so far, we have been most impressed by The Family Place: a jewel in this community that is unlike any place I have seen. The Family Place is a haven for weary parents. My children adore going there, I feel good about the educational programs and activities offered, there are snacks, parents can grab a cup of much-needed coffee, and the friendly staff have made it feel like a second home. We feel that moving here is the best decision we have ever made and feel really good to have our children grow up in a place that cares so much about them. Thank you, Aldergrove! It is great to see a place doing so many things right! Sincerely, Tracy Wu

Collaborative learning is not ‘new’ concept

Editor: I read in the paper that the Department of Education is proposing a “new curriculum” whereby all the provincial schools will now focus on collaborative learning. Our children are now in their 40s but when they were elementary school age, we lived in Cloverdale and took them on a long drive every morning to Discovery School in northwest Whalley. Discovery School had a curriculum approved both by the Department of Education and the Surrey School District. That curriculum sounds exactly the same as that now being proposed by the Dep’t. in 2015, in that it specializes in “…individualized, studentdriven learning in collaborative settings.” Back then, gone were the “…rows of desks with the teacher lecturing from the front of the room.” The kids often sat around on the floor, or found space in the library or hallway. Memorizing tests were also long gone. The kids worked together, even different age groups, to create projects. The projects were based on a topic that they chose as a group; say, Greece, or the Solar System, for example. The teacher’s job was to ensure that the various school subjects ended up in the final project; Math, Science, Socials, English, Report cards were also long gone. How did we, as parents, know how well our child was doing? We went to the school on Parent Day and reviewed the projects. We saw what each child contributed, and we saw what our own child contributed. We asked each of our four kids on that day, how well they thought they had done. Usually they felt pretty good about what they had accomplished. But on some occasions, the answers were sometimes a surprise. If they felt that they had let down their team members, they told us. They sometimes felt they could have better. Obviously, there were no repercussions on our part. They knew what they had to do next time – and they told us that too. This whole program was based on Adlerian philosophy, in which each child/person has an inherent need to belong. Alfred Adler was a contemporary of Freud, but his teachings have long outlived old Sigmund. Alfred Adler lived about 100 years ago. Discovery School had been going on in Surrey for 48 years. The question is, how come it has taken so long for the Province to “discover” this “new” curriculum? Evan Brett, Aldergrove

Impaired-driving charges laid in serious crash Aldergrove Star

Six charges have been laid against a Langley man in relation to a head-on collision in Abbotsford that injured a couple in their 70s earlier this year. Amarjit Singh Jhaj, 56, has been charged with two counts of impaired driving causing bodily harm, two counts of dangerous driving causing bodily harm, and

two counts of causing an accident resulting in bodily harm. The crash took place Jan. 16 on Fraser Highway and Stevens Street – just west of Mt. Lehman Road – at about 7:30 p.m. Police received a call at 7:22 p.m. from a motorist who saw a Dodge pickup being driven erratically westbound on Maclure Road near Townline Road. The woman stayed on the line

with a 911 operator as she followed the driver, who proceeded onto Fraser Highway. Shortly after, the truck crossed the centre line and smashed headon into a Toyota Rav4 occupied by an Abbotsford couple. They were taken to hospital with suspected fractures and internal injuries. The driver of the Dodge was also taken to hospital, but with lessserious injuries.

The principal of DW Poppy Secondary made a statement addressing the rumours circulating after two long guns were found inside a vehicle on school property Friday night. “At this time the RCMP is treating it as a ‘found property incident’ and they have absolutely no concerns about the safety and welfare

for students and staff,” said principal Balan Moorthy on Monday morning. There was no lockdown and no students were involved, said police. Langley RCMP confirm that around 6 p.m. on Oct. 16, two firearms were recovered from a vehicle parked in the parking lot of the automotive department of the school. The two long guns had trigger

locks on them and there was no ammunition in the vehicle, said Cpl. Holly Largy. It’s not quite clear why the older car was parked there but police have spoken with the owner and it appears the guns were accidentally left inside. “The owner of the guns is not known to us and we are not recommending charges at this point,” said Largy.

We thank the Aldergrove Legion and the Langley Senior Resources Society for providing the venues and Frank Bucholtz for capably moderating the two events. We wish to thank the Aldergrove Star for covering these events and thereby providing the senior voters in our community with the opportunity to reflect

upon the issues raised at these meetings including housing, retirement income security, seniors health care strategy, transportation, veterans and a national seniors strategy. These issues are all interrelated and will require concerted efforts by the newly elected federal government to ensure that our communities function

Kodiaks’ win streak screeches to halt By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

KURT LANGMANN PHOTO

Kodiak Dryden Wust (at left) is checked by North Vancouver player, Oct. 14 at Aldergrove Arena.

The Aldergrove Kodiaks were shut out 2-0 Saturday night on the road. The loss allowed the Pilots to move ahead of Aldergrove into second place in the conference. Aldergrove had the advantage in first-period shots but gave up the only goal late in the frame while killing a penalty. The Kodiaks outshot the Panthers 15-7 in the second period but some hot goaltending kept the period scoreless. Port Moody capped the scoring into an empty net with just two seconds left in the third to earn the shutout. Final shots favoured the Kodiaks 34-29. Aldergrove was shut out of the three stars for

the second game in a row. HUBRIS CATCHES UP TO KODIAKS Hubris led to nemesis for the Aldergrove Kodiaks as they ground their four-game winning streak to a halt Wednesday, Oct. 14. The Kodiaks were blanked by the visiting North Vancouver Wolf Pack, in a 6-0 defeat at Aldergrove Arena. The Wolf Pack was relentless as they scored four power play goals in the first period. The Wolf Pack didn’t score on two other power plays but scored one goal in each of the second and third periods, while the Kodiaks failed to muster a goal in any of their six power plays. Shots on goal were 32-21 for the Wolf Pack. Kodiaks’ keeper

Aldergrove Secondary Totems Down LSS 4-2

Local trio lead ‘birds to win Aldergrove Star

The Fraser Valley Thunderbirds survived a late two-man disadvantage to knock off the top team in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. The T-Birds defeated the North West Giants 3-2 on Sunday at the North Shore Winter Club to wrap up a home-and-home series. The Giants won 4-1 on Saturday at the Abbotsford Recreation Centre. And it was a trio of Langley players who led the way in victory as Jonathan Stein, Kaelen Anderson and Logan Hunter all lit the lamp. Aldergrove goaltender Jordan Naylor was solid in goal helping his team pick up its second win of the season. Hunter also had the lone goal in the 4-1 defeat. Fraser Valley is 2-3-3 on the season.

PEOPLE WHO READ

Newspaper ads, both print and online, play a key role in helping people make their banking and investment decisions.

AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE

Newspapers and their sites outperform all other media in engaging Canadians, including highincome Canadians, boomers, moms and even young adults.
