Arun, the Greater Vancouver Zoo’s male Red Panda, made his way out Tuesday, Oct. 13, to explore his new out-door enclosure at the Aldergrove zoo.
“It was a very exciting time for Arun and we were thrilled with his keen inter-est 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 diver-sity 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 called Ailuridae.
Zoo’s red panda is out and about

Canadians have elected a new prime minister, showing the Conservatives the door after 10 years in power and hand-ing 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 sup-porters as he arrived with his wife Diane, but the loss to the Liberals had clearly cast a pall on the celebration of his vic-tory.
“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 cam-paign that dismissed the Liberal leader as “just not ready.”
“He does have nice hair, “ Warawa said. “I wish I had his hair.”

Red Pandas are listed as endangered as the population is estimated at less than 10,000 indi-viduals, with a continu-ing decline of greater than 10 percent over the next three generations (estimated at 30 years) due to poaching and hab-itat 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 con-servation efforts such as public education, research, reintroduction and field conservation programs that are sup-ported by the SSP pro-gram the zoo can assure a sustainable future for animals that are current-ly being threatened in the wild.
SUBMITTED PHOTOSGreater Vancouver Zoo’s red panda has settled into its new environment in Aldergrove.
Then he stumbled over the prime minister elect’s name, calling him “Justin Hairdo” and gen-erating some laughs.
Warawa is the only Member of Parliament who has represented Langley since the now-reconfigured riding was created in 2004.
LIBERAL GAINS REACH TO B.C. IN
MAJORITY WIN Prime Minister-elect
Justin Trudeau extended his majority government even into the B.C. Interior Monday, as Liberal Stephen Fuhr knocked off Conservative incumbent Ron Cannan in Kelowna-Lake Country.
Trudeau thanked sup-porters in his Montreal riding, and began prepa-rations 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 lis-tened.”
Major commitments by the Liberal campaign include legalizing recre-
ational marijuana sales and running three years of deficits to build infra-structure across the coun-try.
Trudeau has also promised to scrap the Conservative govern-ment’s approval for the Northern Gateway pipe-line 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.
While the Liberals picked up several Lower Mainland seats, tradition-al voting patterns held up in much of the province. Conservatives Cathy McLeod (Kamloops-
T h o m p s o n - Ca r i b o o) and Mel Arnold (North Okanagan-Shuswap) won their seats.
In Victoria, NDP incumbent Murray Rankin held off a chal-lenge from the Green Party’s Jo-Ann Roberts in a seat where the Liberal candidate resigned over inappropriate comments on social media. Green Party leader Elizabeth May was re-elected in Saanich-Gulf Islands.
The NDP held the
B.C. coast, with Rachel Blaney winning North Island-Powell River and veteran North Coast NDP MP Nathan Cullen re-elected in Skeena-Bulkley Valley.
LIBERALS REPAINT MOST OF VANCOUVER REDB.C.’s urban land-
scape in the Lower Mainland is no longer carved up almost exclu-sively between the fed-eral New Democrats and Conservatives.
Liberal candidates, propelled by the popu-larity of leader Justin Trudeau, pulled off mul-tiple upsets in Monday’s federal election and cap-tured 17 ridings, includ-ing 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 tra-ditional Conservative stronghold. The new MP there is Liberal Carla Qualtrough, a human rights lawyer and para-lympian.
Conservative MP Nina Grewal, criticized for missing local debates, lost to former TransLink spokesman and Liberal candidate Ken Hardie in Fleetwood-Port Kells.
Other Conservative MPs defeated by Liberals include Andrew Saxton and John Weston, both on the North Shore and Wai Young in Vancouver South.
Two NDP MPs fell in Surrey – Jinny Sims lost in Surrey-Newton to for-mer MP Sukh Dhaliwal, who recaptured the rid-ing for the Liberals;
and Jasbir Sandhu fell in Surrey Centre to Randeep Sarai.
Former Surrey Mayor and star Conservative candidate Dianne Watts narrowly defeated Liberal challenger Judy Higginbotham, who entered the race mid-campaign after the origi-nal Liberal candidate resigned over pro-mari-juana comments.
One of the biggest sur-prises of the night was a very close Liberal victory by Jati Sidhu in Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon, a riding deep in the tradi-tionally Conservative turf of the Fraser Valley.
Conservatives sur-vived in their safest Valley seats, as did New Democrats such as for-mer MLA Jenny Kwan in Vancouver East and Peter Julian in New Westminster-Burnaby.
NDP MP Kennedy Stewart barely held onto his seat in another close race in Burnaby South.
The two incumbent Liberal MPs in Vancouver – Hedy Fry and Joyce Murray – were easily re-elected.
Other notable Liberals that will be MPs on the government side
include former West Vancouver Mayor Pamela Goldsmith-Jones.
The Conservatives are reduced to a rump of five seats in the Lower Mainland, while the NDP stand to be reduced to four seats.
Province-wide, the Liberals took 17 seats and nearly 40.5 per cent of the popular vote. 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. Greens got 2.4 per cent but did not gain additional seats besides that of party leader Elizabeth May.
Provincial turnout was 70.3 per cent, not includ-ing voters who registered on election day.

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 invest-ments,” 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 hospi-tal’s maternity ward.
The population in Langley has exploded since 1965 and is expect-ed to double in 30 years, with 12,500 of those people expected to be senior citizens, said FHA.
The new LMH executive direc-tor Jason Cook and Langley physi-cian, 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 hospi-tals with nurse practitoners (eight). Langley also hosts a large number of UBC medical residents.
Admissions to LMH are slightly
higher than the average, but ER visits are slightly lower than aver-age. 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 recruit-ment 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, re-admission 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 practiton-ers and 20 medical residents.
Master plan for Langley hospital
Aldergrove Star
Pay parking at hospitals is here to stay, according to the Fraser Health board. Board chair Karen Matty was quick to dismiss any hopes that parking at hospitals could one day be free.
“We would love to provide
free parking but to be clear we will never have free parking,” said Matty at the last public Fraser Health board meeting held in Langley on Sept. 24.
She was responding to a senior’s complaint that pay parking at hos-pitals penalizes those who are
already vulnerable, often seniors or those arriving in medical distress.
“The fees we collect for parking go towards maintaining the lots, for snow removal and lighting, etc.,” said Matty. “We encourage people to carpool to hospitals or arrange drop-off,” she said.

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 argu-ment of opponents that the penalties effectively create an offence that requires a right to a fair trial, not an instant deci-sion by police after a failed blood-alcohol reading on a portable device.
The court found the prov-ince’s “pressing and sub-stantial” goal of enacting the scheme “was not to oust the criminal law, but rather to pre-vent death and serious injury on public roads by removing drunk drivers and deterring impaired driving.”
Roadside penalties have largely supplanted criminal investigations and prosecu-tions 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
death due to drunk driving.Defence lawyers have criti-
cized the immediate roadside prohibitions as a de facto decriminalization of most cases of impaired driving.
Although drivers who are caught and punished at roadside face stiff sanctions, they do not usually risk an impaired driving conviction and criminal record.
Also before the courts was the constitutionality of the compulsory demand to pro-vide a breath sample or face roadside penalties.
A majority of Supreme Court justices said the origi-nal 2010 provision did violate the Charter of Rights protec-tion against unlawful search and seizure.
The province amended its law in 2012 to allow driv-ers who fail a roadside breath test to take a second test – the lowest of the two readings is used – and created a process for them to appeal driving prohibitions.
“Our belief is that the amendments our govern-ment made in June 2012
already address the consti-tutional issues noted in the court’s decision,” B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said.
It’s not yet clear if drivers penalized in the first two years of the program could be com-pensated.
Anton welcomed the rul-ing, adding immediate road-side prohibitions have been “very effective” and have saved an estimated 260 lives over the past five years.
“People are learning from them, they’re not drinking and driving as much,” Anton said.
“As soon as you blow that warn or that fail you will be penalized. And that is what deters people from drinking and driving. That’s what keeps our roads safe.”
Defence lawyers intend to continue to challenge ele-ments of the B.C. law that were not addressed by the top court.
About 18,000 roadside prohibitions are issued each year and about two per cent are successfully challenged through the review process.

Collaborative learning is not ‘new’ concept
Editor:I read in the paper that the Department of Education is propos-
ing 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 elemen-tary 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 Depart-ment of Education and the Surrey School District. That curricu-lum sounds exactly the same as that now being proposed by the Dep’t. in 2015, in that it specializes in “…individualized, student-driven 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 ex-ample. The teacher’s job was to ensure that the various school sub-jects 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 contrib-uted, 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?

Hearts to hometownEditor: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 im-pressed 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 Com-munity 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

participate in the discus-sions: John Aldag, Simmi Dhillon, Dean Drysdale, Leon Jensen, Margot Sangster and Rebecca Smith. Mark Warawa and Lauren Southern did not attend and unfortunately, we have recently learned that due to illness Scott Anderson of the Green Party could not attend.
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 Al-dergrove Star for covering these events and thereby providing the senior vot-ers in our community with the opportunity to reflect
upon the issues raised at these meetings includ-ing housing, retirement income security, seniors health care strategy, trans-portation, veterans and a national seniors strategy.
These issues are all inter-related and will require concerted efforts by the newly elected federal government to ensure that our communities function
effectively for all genera-tions. Thanks on behalf of the groups involved.

Letter: Putting spotlight on seniors’ issues

The principal of DW Poppy Secondary made a statement addressing the rumours circulat-ing after two long guns were found inside a vehicle on school property Friday night.
“At this time the RCMP is treat-ing it as a ‘found property incident’ and they have absolutely no con-cerns about the safety and welfare
for students and staff,” said prin-cipal 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 recom-mending charges at this point,” said Largy.
Police: Guns left in car ‘not a safety concern’
By VIKKI HOPESAldergrove 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 errati-cally 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 head-on 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 less-serious injuries.

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 nem-
esis for the Aldergrove Kodiaks as they ground their four-game win-ning 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 peri-ods, 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
Naythan Lange stopped 13 of 18 shots in the first half and Dawson Rodin finished the night with 13 saves on 14 shots.
The result left the
Kodiaks tied with the Abbotsford Pilots in sec-ond place in the Harold Brittain conference with 13 points after 11 games, six behind the leading
Mission City Outlaws.The Kodiaks’
next home game is Wednesday, Oct. 28, 7:15 p.m. against the Mission City Outlaws.

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 sea-son.
Hunter also had the lone goal in the 4-1 defeat.
Fraser Valley is 2-3-3 on the season.
