A Classic Case of

Whodunit?PAGE 18

MIRANDA GATHERCOLETimes Reporter

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 par-ent’s house, close by, instead of go-ing home.

“It was like a siren on a police car, it was a funny noise,” the 82-year-old recalled while seated in his qui-et 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 contin-uous I guess it wouldn’t be as effec-tive.”

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 en-emy 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 fi nding out the details now.

“There’s so many people who don’t believe that this really hap-pened,” he said, while thumbing through War on our Doorstep, a local-ly 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 emplace-ments. But nobody knew that they were there, originally.”

According to Coyle’s book, the fi rst 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 fi rst casualty.

Japanese submarines fi red 21 shells at the lighthouse, where a ra-dar/radio station was thought to be. With shells landing at the small vil-lage fi ve km away, not one managed to hit the lighthouse. This was the fi rst attack on Canadian soil since the War of 1812.

“We were so dedicated to the Brit-ish 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 Eu-rope and my brothers overseas than we were about the Japanese coming over here and sinking a few ships.

The war on the West Coast

While most eyes were focused on the confl ict in Europe during the Second World War, another threat

was lurking off the shores of British Columbia

Lest we forget

Fred van Aggelen remembers running to an assigned parent’s house near his school in West Vancouver when the air raid sirens went off in the early ’40s. His home was two-miles away and too far to run to if the enemy attacked.

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

A Langley woman is offering a public thank you to the Good Sa-maritan 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 at-tack 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, punch-ing 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 traffi c. She wonders if it be-longed 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 Offi ce 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 fi nd him, confi rmed Cpl. Holly Largy.

The suspect is described as Cau-casian, 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 grate-ful 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 carry-ing a knife or box cutter, as they of-ten do. I am recovering and know I will be fi ne in time — lots to be grateful for, yet forever changed.”

If you have information for po-lice about this suspect or wit-nessed the incident and haven’t spoken to police, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

DAN FERGUSONTimes Reporter

Timothy Jones taps a fi nger on a hand-drawn chart of the federal elec-tion results that shows winner Mark Warawa collected less than half the votes that were cast in the Langley-Al-dergrove riding.

Warawa, the incumbent Conserva-tive MP, was elected with 45.5 per cent, more than enough under the current fi rst-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 dis-

torted, he says, with the Liberals form-ing 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 re-fl ected the percentages and the Lib-erals would have formed a minority

government that would have had to consult with the other parties to stay in power.

Jones wants the Trudeau govern-ment to honour its election pledge to introduce some form of proportional representation, where a majority of votes is not wasted just because peo-ple 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 cre-ation 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 fi rst-past-the-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 estab-

lish a Fort Langley chapter of Fair Vote Canada, can be contacted at [email protected].

Timothy Jones is setting up a Langley chapter of Fair Vote Canada to help lobby the new Trudeau govern-ment to honour an election promise to replace the current fi rst-past-the-post system of voting. The graphic on his computer shows how the percentage of votes did not match the percentage of seats parties won in the October election.

The Township of Langley has just an-nounced an open house on the future of Old Yale Road in Mur-rayville.

Old Yale is the old-est road in the Town-ship, and the 93-year-old concrete surface on the section that runs from the fi ve-way roundabout on 216 Street to the Fra-ser Highway is falling apart, riddled with cracks and pot holes.

The road was list-ed among the worst in the province by a British Columbia Au-tomobile Association (BCAA) survey in 2013.

After the survey came out, the Town-ship informed BCAA by letter that work on Old Yale has been de-layed because it has a heritage designation as one of the fi rst con-crete roads construct-ed in the Lower Main-land.

Old Yale was orig-inally a wagon road

that connected New Westminster to Yale in the late 19th cen-tury before it became a road for motorized vehicles.

The Old Yale Road open house will be held Thursday, Nov. 26, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Langley Fun-damental Elementary School at 21789 50 Ave.

“The goal of this pro-cess is to determine a means of upgrad-ing Old Yale Road in a way that meets the Township’s needs and respects this unique historical roadway,”

Township heritage planner Elaine Hor-ricks said.

Township transpor-tation engineer Rich-ard Welfi ng 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 at-tributes, and takes technical and cost considerations into ac-count.

Possibilities range from preservation to replacement, the Township announce-ment said.


There were complaints that Langley Township council isn’t getting enough say over fi nancial decision-making, following a staff presentation about the draft 2016 operating budget at the Monday af-ternoon (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 fi ne-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 be-fore they vote on the budget.

“I just really feel that council has been removed from the process,” Sparrow said.

Sparrow said the budget docu-ments 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 informa-tion),” 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 presenta-tion to council Monday afternoon amounted to an “info dump” be-

cause councillors were not allowed to ask questions until it was fi n-ished.

“This should be council’s budget, not staff’s bud-get,” Richter said.

“Because we’re the ones who take the hit.”

Mayor Jack Fro-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 offi cers.

The staff presentation quoted B.C. government statistics showing the Township municipal tax bur-den 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.

Old Yale Road was built more than 90 years ago. The Township is looking for input about its future.

Saying it “is in the best interest of our country” to allow José Figueroa to stay in Canada, Langley-Alder-grove MP Mark Warawa has asked the new feder-al 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 chil-dren, that Mr. Figueroa is granted permanent resident status,” Warawa wrote.

Figueroa was ordered deported because of his involvement with the

Farabun-do Marti National Libera-tion 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 Can-ada 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 incomprehen-sive and unnecessary harm to his family.”

MONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter

Canadian Border Services Agency will not speak to specifi c 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 specifi c cases,” said CBSA spokesperson Stefanie Wudel last month.

“We can tell you that generally, in the course of immigration proceed-ings, there are several incidences when the CBSA may issue a warrant, including when an individual fails to appear for an interview or immi-gration hearing; fails to abide by any imposed terms and conditions; or fails to show up for removal.”

Figueroa has been living in sanctu-ary 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 fi ghting 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 im-pose any terms and conditions other than the ones I had prior to the min-ister’s delegate decision of March 27, 2013,” said Figueroa.

“If the answer to the question is yes, then the CBSA needs to be bet-ter informed.”

In July 2014, a federal judge ruled that the original decision to deport

Figueroa contained errors in the rul-ing and that his case needed to be given a new review.

In that decision, Judge Mosely not-ed that the FMLN is now the govern-ment of El Salvador and is not on any terrorist list within Canada.

But Mosely didn’t impose a time-line 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 hap-pening.”

From 1941 to 1942 there were 147 record-ed sightings of subma-rines off B.C.’s coast from Alaska down to the Washington state/Oregon border.

Many turned out to be fl oating bamboo sticks, planted to look like periscopes.

One buoyed piece of bamboo appeared at Gordon Head, near Vic-toria, and was success-fully destroyed by Ca-nadian 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 Japa-nese 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 fi sh-ing industry in B.C. was run by Japanese-Ca-nadians. Fearful that the fi shermen could be spies co-ordinating with Japanese subs, in February, 1942, Par-liament passed an or-der in council to allow authorities to search, confi ne, and confi scate property of all Japa-nese.

By March, an evacu-ation order was given.

Close to 23,000 peo-ple were relocated from coastal towns to six camps in the Koo-tenays, and were not allowed to return to the coast until 1949 — four years after the war ended.

In the Lower Main-land, many were fi rst 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

them in prison. “That was the start

of people realizing that we were in trouble over here.”

Air raid sirens were installed on tall build-ings 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 car-penter and a build-er so he would build frames, and the frame would sit in the win-dow so you could have the lights on inside the house,” van Aggelen said.

“And he used to trav-el 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 air-planes that were going to come over where we were.”

Van Aggelen’s father was also involved in another important war measure — the con-struction of the Alaska Highway.

Built on an acceler-ated schedule by U.S. Army Corps of Engi-neers, 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 Aleu-tian Islands.

Cornelius was sent with Northern Con-struction to build

airplane hangars in Whitehorse, an im-portant link.

Back home in West Vancouver, there were many other events that characterized van Aggelen’s wartime childhood.

Some of the teach-ers at school had hus-bands in the navy, and the students brought nickels and dimes to class to purchase box-es of apples to send to the boats, he said.

They collected grease from cooking to make ammunition, and alu-minum pots and pans for constructing air-planes.

And everyone could tell the different be-tween a Kittyhawk, a PBY Catalina or a Jap-anese Zero, just by its silhouette in the sky.

A young Fred van Aggelen (bottom, centre) sports a British fl ag 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 rifl es,” 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.

“When we were young kids, our hob-bies used to be airplane identifi cation and ship identifi cation,” van Ag-gelen 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 lat-est war developments from the local newspa-per, which he delivered when he was young.

“During the Japanese war with the Ameri-cans, Franklin Delano

Roosevelt died during that confl ict,” van Ag-gelen 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 every-thing with Roosevelt.”

Although he does not remember the defi ni-tive moment when vic-tory was announced in 1945, van Aggelen did keep a copy of the spe-cial edition paper that accompanied it.

“I used to be a col-

lector,” he said. “Any newspaper that came out — Franklin Roo-sevelt, or James Ken-nedy, and ‘walking on the moon’ — I had all those newspapers, I had kept them.”

Today, van Aggelen hopes people will ac-

knowledge the “war on our doorstep” and understand just how close it came to south-ern British Columbia.

“It was very, very se-cret,” van Aggelen said.

“If you really want to know the whole story, you should read this

book. “A lot of secret things

were going on.”

Christmas can wait another 11 daysA push to respect our veterans

and delay Christmas displays until after Remembrance Day is gaining momentum in Canada.

More and more people, and even some retailers, are saying Christmas can wait, lest we for-get. While it’s hard to fi ght retail giants, some have been known to change their tune in the face of social pressure.

I, and many Dutch-Canadians like me in Langley, are espe-cially grateful to the men and women of this country, who fought so valiantly in the Second World War. It was the Ca-nadian soldiers who liberated Holland. Thousands of Canadian soldiers lost their lives battling the Germans there.

The horrors of war were told to us many times and are a constant remind-er of what soldiers went through for my family’s freedom.

My Opa on my mother’s side hid in a wall behind his ice box when German soldiers stormed his house, looking for males to work in their camps. He hid behind the ice box so that when they shot at all the walls, the bullets

wouldn’t reach him.My Oma and her family were

on the brink of starving to death when her family was liberated in Utrecht. The joyous picture of her with Canadian soldiers piled on top of their army tank is priceless.

Just a month before the liber-ation, my grandmother’s fami-ly was so hungry they decided to walk until they found food. They walked for days, sleeping

in abandoned barns, desperate to fi nd a potato or two left in a farmer’s fi eld.

During that trip, a German plane fl ew overhead and started to shoot at the road they were walking. They hid in a ditch, with the bullets coming so close they left holes in the sacks they were using to gather potatoes.

On my father’s side, my Opa had his bicycle store confi scated without pay-ment by the Germans and he was taken to a work camp in Germany.

My Oma was left to raise my father, a baby at the time, and my uncle. My Opa actually escaped the Germans, jumping off a work train as it slowed down for a

tight bend. The train was bombed just after it got through the bend.

My Opa’s death certifi cate was sent home to my grandmother who had little time to mourn him because he showed up at the door fi ve 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 fi rst arrived, the children could only be fed tiny amounts of bread and sips of water be-cause their shrunken stomachs.

The stories my grandparents told me, some of which I have recorded for safe keeping, are astounding — al-most 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 un-til after Remembrance Day, while we concentrate on honouring veterans for their huge sacrifi ce.

So next year, why don’t we put the importance of Nov. 11 ahead of the al-mighty dollar.

We’d like to add our voice to that of a Langley woman who is publicly thanking a Good Samari-tan for coming to her rescue last week.

The unknown man stepped in on Wednesday, Nov. 4 as the woman was being physically at-tacked 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 re-main at the scene of the attack and speak to her rescuer, instead driving straight to the nearest Community Police Offi ce to fi le 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 fi t 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 obvi-ously needs.

In the meantime, with the help of victim ser-vices, the woman, while still traumatized by her ordeal, is improving daily.

We wish her well in both her physical and her emotional recovery.

Good Samaritan deserves thanks

Editor: Rhetorical smack downs between bi-cycle and motor vehicle advocates have stepped up.

Recently, proposals to license bicycle riders and criticism around investment in bicycle in-frastructure have become the talk of the day.

Thirty fi ve years ago I began my career as a professional driver, fi ve 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 be-haviour behind the wheel.

I ride my bike to work for health, economic and environmental reasons. I frequently see bi-cycle riders without helmets, lights or refl ective clothing. Most accidents are a product of igno-rance.

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 bi-cycle lane. Often those drivers are texting or on the phone.

I understand the frustration of drivers and bi-cyclists, the answer is not war between them. It is time that driver’s licences are given to com-petent drivers. Safe bicycle riding should be a part of every school curriculum.

Healthy, safe, non-polluting methods of com-muting are a step toward sanity.

Editor: In spite of my nu-merous discussions, via email, with the BC High-ways department regarding my belief that Highway 13 (264 Street) will be twinned, and their repeated dis-avowing of my supposi-tion, 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 traffi c fl ow on Highway 13 from 28 Avenue to Fraser High-way, a length of road that comprises approximately 16 homes backing onto the highway.

The current traffi c loads are at best noisy and have airborne pollutants. This is harmful to homeowners’ health, something another department of the provin-cial government says is of

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 elec-tion pointed out how ten-uous a politician’s hold on the public is.

TERRY BRENAN,

ALDERGROVE

Editor: The 16 Avenue expansion plan was conceived over 30 years ago, when we mistakenly did not value the importance of agricultur-al land in our community.

We have since evolved, and the appetite for preserving the rural character of this growing agri-tour-ism region is gaining momentum and is supported by all levels of government.

Trucks using 16 Avenue to trans-port dangerous goods are a con-stant risk to our delicate microcli-mate in South Langley and threaten our livelihood.

There is plenty of room for com-muter traffi c on 16 Avenue if trucks are taken out of the equation, re-moving the need for and expense of expansion.

Trucks should go to the South Fraser Perimeter Road, as it was de-signed solely for that purpose.

We have an opportunity to band together to make South Langley something more than just a corri-dor for the needs of other commu-nities. 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 lead-ership but capitulation?

Now is the time for our govern-ment representatives to realize a bad plan is still a bad plan, no mat-ter how long it has been hanging around.

TERESA TOWNSLEY,

FESTINA LENTE FARM, LANGLEY

Editor: I was outraged by the lack of any fun-damental 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 fund-ing rebels who are committed to overthrowing the government of Syria.

BOB FEARN,

LANGLEY

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 be-fore 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 traffi c 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 ac-tually looked toward Glover, fi rst I saw one car make a left turn, then another. The traffi c inched

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 il-legal left-hand turn. The two di-rectly 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 pur-pose?

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,

Editor: This is a message to the person or persons who frequent-ly 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 selfi sh 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.

Harry Hunt, a respected and long-serving mem-ber 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 Bet-ty to cancer two years ago. Last week, doctors discovered that his cancer had spread and was inoperable.

Harry had briefl y come back to his Aldergrove home and was pleased to see his children, Lau-ra and Bob, were se-curely 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, sur-rounded by his family.

Laura told Black Press that condolences have been pouring in from the Aldergrove commu-nity and that the many kind words are appre-

ciated by the family. She said arrangements are being made for a memorial service before he is interred alongside his late wife.

Harry and Betty fi rst 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 fur-ther 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 col-lapsed 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 pho-to contributions to the Aldergrove Star over more than 25 years. Harry was the recipient of numer-ous 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.

A healthy active lifestyle can often be compro-mised 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 experi-ence pain and embar-rassment when you can’t participate in activities that seemed easy before. People who are active, on their feet for either work or recreation can ben-efit from devices like orthotics. Those of us suffering from a visible skin or nail condition can benefit from treatments to resolve their prob-lems 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 elsepertaining to the foot and ankle. Dr. Stanford is passionate about making a dif-ference in people’s health. He’s been in private

practice for almost 4 years nowafter completing a 3 year sur-gical residency in the UnitedStates where he was trainedwith a special emphasis onsports medicine and diabetic foot care. His experience in the UnitedStates has allowed him to de-velop the highest quality foot orthotic available which is prescribed for each individual

patient based on their diagnosis, foot type, gaitmechanics 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 avail-able for accurate diagnosis. The ScanCast 3D al-lows them to take a 3-dimensional scan of your foot while being manipulated into the corrected

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 compli-cations. 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 ar-ticulating 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 ex-tended insurance policies. Coverage may vary so they do encourage patients to contact their car-rier for more specific coverage information. Pa-tients without extended coverage may qualify for premium assistance through MSP which reduces their fees. Dr. Stanford is an avid CrossFit athlete, an ama-teur 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 “uber-athlete”.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 sev-eral hundred dollars worth of therapy and treat-ments, 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 ex-tended 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 appoint-ment without a doctor’s referral, and in most cases, meet the doctor within a day or two.

It wasn’t until Desirée Patterson had her camera stolen in Paris that she realized she wanted to be a photographer.

“That was the fi rst 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 fi nd her calling, just to realize it had been “under my nose” (and shutter fi nger) 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 fi ne 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 refl ected.

“When I fi rst started out, I was very much infl uenced 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 specifi cally

to encourage discussion and dialogue regarding sustainability and preservation,” she said.

In her latest work, Patterson has shot local models in-studio and morphed their images with landscapes of New York City, clear-cut forests and oil refi neries to create juxtapositions that will start a larger conversation.

“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 fi nd 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 affl uent, 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 defi nitely 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.”

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 respon-sible, but no one is speaking up.

Who is the culprit? Audi-ences have to stay right to the end of the show to fi nd out.

The Mousetrap, presented by Imagine That! Produc-tions in Langley, is one of the most popular whodunits in history, running continu-ously since it fi rst 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 Ser-geant 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 Imag-ine That! for 11 years, and says there is a “nice camara-derie” 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

is his fi rst love (Kobilke was originally earning a music degree in vocals), dramas like The Mousetrap are his fa-vourite genre from an acting perspective.

“I am a no nonsense kind of guy, pretty stern,” Kobil-ke said, of his role as the detective.

“I come onto the scene, I pretty much get right down to it in the show. 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 Toron-chuk 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.

Although there are no age

restrictions, parents are advised that the play covers mature subject matter.

Dinner With Friends adds three shows

Those who have not yet made it to Langley Players’ season opener, Dinner With Friends, are in luck.

Three additional performances have been added on Thursday, Nov. 26, Friday, Nov. 27 and Saturday, Nov. 28.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Donald Margulies

tells the tale of two intertwined couples and what happens when one marriage falls apart.

Tickets are available by calling 604-534-7469, emailing [email protected] or visiting www.langleyplayers.com.

Langley Playhouse is located at 4307 200 St.

Surrey Little Theatre (SLT) has also added two additional performances to their sold out show, Calendar Girls, on Sunday, Nov. 15 (already sold out) and Wednesday, Nov. 18.

The popular British play and movie is based on the true story of 11 members of the Knapeley Women’s Institute who posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the Leukemia Research Fund.

Purchase tickets for the Nov. 18 show by calling 604-576-8451, emailing [email protected] or visiting www.brownpapertickets.com.

Since singing their fi rst choral arrangement with the Langley Community Chorus (LCC) in 1992, members Chris LaBorde and Arne Larsen have witnessed the group fl ourish.

Performing hundreds of songs in nearly 50 concert programmes, the couple — who are the only original members of the group — says the Chorus provides inspiration to the singers and the community.

Their chorus journey began across the border with a barbershop-style group in Lynden, Wash. in early 1992.

While there, Larsen met Stan McCreary, a like-minded person who also happened to live nearby their home in Langley.

McCreary was, at that time, planning a mixed chorus in Langley.

By the fall, LaBorde and Larsen were rehearsing with 15

other singers in the fi rst season of the LCC.

The new chorus quickly became a central part of LaBorde and Larsen’s lives together, not just for the joy of shared music-making, but for the connections

and friendships they made while volunteering in their community on behalf of the chorus.

Many others also went to great lengths to help build the new choir, including the music directors who volunteered their time, and the Maysfi eld Singers, who donated a library of soprano, alto, tenor, and bass (SATB) music scores when they disbanded.

The chorus became a member group of the Langley Arts Council, and through the generosity of individuals and community support, their membership swelled to more than 80 singers in just nine years.

Now in their 23rd season, the chorus is preparing for three special holiday performances at the end of November, titled Wintersong – A Celebration of the Season.

Langley Christian’s Sarah Brownlee gets the ball past the block of Langley Saints’ Kalyn Hartmann (#11) during the junior girls district championship game last week (Nov. 5) at the Langley Events Centre, which the Lightning won. Below: Langley Christian’s Brodie Hofer and the junior boys also celebrated a district title after beating Credo Christian in the fi nals at the LEC.

Lightning junior teams rule at district fi nals

GARY AHUJATimes Sports

Step one is out of the way.

“This is what we say is the fi rst step un-til the ultimate goal, which is a provincial championship,” ex-plained Langley Chris-tian coach Carol Hofer.

Her Lightning squad had just dispatched the Credo Christian Kodiaks three sets to none to win the Lang-ley district junior boys volleyball title last week (Nov. 5) at the Langley Events Centre.

The Lightning won the fi rst two sets quite handily, 25-11 and 25-14.

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 un-forced 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 Lang-ley Christian has won three other tourna-ments this season and has yet to lose a match.

Up next are the Fra-ser Valley champi-onships, which run this week at Charles Best Secondary in Co-quitlam.

The Lightning are joined at provincials by both Credo Christian and Langley Funda-mental.

The Titans beat Brookswood in the third-place game at the district champion-ships.

“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 of-fence balanced so we don’t get too predict-able.

“And defensively, we just need to transition the ball.”

•••The Langley Chris-

tian 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 Kev-in Brownlee.

“It will be tough, there are two or three teams we have battled all season long.

“(And) we haven’t quite cracked fi rst in a tournament yet, but we are always right there.”

The Lightning head into the Fraser Valley tournament — which runs this week at Del-ta’s Sands Secondary and Burnsview Sec-ondary — on a high note after capturing the Langley District junior girls volleyball title last week (Nov. 5) at the Langley Events Centre.

The Lightning defeat-ed the Langley Saints three sets to none.

Langley Christian won the fi rst 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

the third seed during league play with a 5-2 record but upset the No. 2 Langley Funda-mental Titans in the semifi nals.

Both the Saints and the fourth-seed Wal-nut Grove Gators (4-3) will join Langley Chris-tian at the Fraser Valley tournament.

The Gators beat the Titans in the bronze medal game at the dis-trict 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 fl oor.”

A dominant defence has helped the Langley Saints march into the playoffs.

The senior boys football team won their fi rst 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 Rich-mond.

The Saints fi nished the regu-lar season at 4-0, good for fi rst place in the AA Southern Con-ference. Langley had the entire

league’s stingiest defence, al-lowing a minuscule 3.25 points per game.

Azuka Okoli and Max Joseph scored the Saints’ touchdowns while Isaiah Okoli led the de-fence with 15-plus tackles.

The fi rst-place fi nish sets up a fi rst round playoff opponent in the Ballenas Whalers, who fi nished 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 Azu-ka Okoli, Max Joseph (receiv-er), 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 de-fensive MVP for the conference.

For the fi rst 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 Spar-tans 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 Rox-burgh.

“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 re-sponded in the second half but we just couldn’t fi nd that last connec-tion.”

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 na-tional championships, which run Nov. 12 to 15 back at UBC.

The Spartans are seeded fi fth 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 fi ve goals and added six assists to fi nish in a tie for fourth in the conference in points and fi rst amongst rookie athletes.

Along with Hutchinson, the Spar-tans had fi ve players named to Cana-da West all-stars, with goalie Ally Wil-liamson, midfi elders Vanessa Kovacs and Ali Oliverio and forward Kris-ta Gommeringer named fi rst team all-stars and striker Seina Kashima named a second team all-star.

•••Trinity Western Spartans’ fi fth-year

players Brayden Gant and Jarvis Am-baka were both named Canada West second team all-stars.

Gant, a solidifying force in the mid-fi eld, earned conference recognition all fi ve 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 fi ve seasons.

The Spartans placed fourth over the weekend at the Canada West champi-onships.

The world is coming to Surrey, and it’s been years in the making.

“It’s amazing to me, I fi nd it phe-nomenal, how hard everybody is working,” said Greg Timm, commit-tee chairman for the Women’s World Softball Championship, which will take place next July at Surrey’s Soft-ball City sporting complex.

Thirty international teams will compete for the sport’s crown.

Canada enters the fray as the de-fending Pan Am Games champions.

“This time around, they have the best team they’ve ever had, in my opinion,” Timm said.

To fi t the tournament and its guests, the City of Surrey is spend-ing $1.3 million to buff-up the grounds at Softball City.

“The renovations and upgrades will be a legacy for soft-ball players into the fu-ture,” said Owen Croy, manager with Surrey’s parks department.

Croy said the mil-lion-plus will be used to improve the ground’s fi elds, back-stops, 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 ab-solutely 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 fi elds, the grounds, were tired,” said Timm. “With the support of the City, they have re-do-ne all of the playing surfaces now, all four diamonds.”

Timm said the committee has reached out to athletes from coun-tries that have participated in past Canadian Opens and tried to ad-dress any concerns or recommen-dations they provided.

The tournament’s existence is a credit to the highest offi ce in Sur-rey, an event created with the work of former mayor Dianne Watts and current mayor Linda Hepner, who were both instrumental and in-volved in pushing to win the bid.

Watts was even in Colombia when Surrey was awarded the World Championships, and Hepner is see-ing efforts through until the fi rst game.

Hepner and her council also

pushed forward with their Sport Tourism Strategy, which Croy cred-its as the “impetus” for all the work going into hosting the event.

“I’m really excited because it’s go-ing 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 larg-est participant sports, but the best athletes are often quarantined to al-

ternative 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 Dangerfi eld 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 Champi-onships in B.C., the International Olympic Committee will vote on whether to include women’s soft-ball in the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Asked how the World Champion-ships will be different than the Ca-nadian 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 in-spiring,” he said. “We’re out in many areas right now, engaging, and any-one 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 .

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.
