A new Museumof Flight could bebuilt adjacent to theLangley Airport.

MATTHEW [email protected]

The Canadian Museum ofFlight is hoping a new sitewill allow it to display moreof its collection of vintage andrestored aircraft.

On Monday, Township coun-cil was asked to support anapplication to the AgriculturalLand Commission, asking theALC to allow non-farm use ofa section of municipal landjust to the west of the LangleyRegional Airport.

If the use is approved, themuseum would have a 1.6 acresite on which to build a newfacility, a hangar and displayarea.

“We’re so overcrowded rightnow,” said museum managerTerry Brunner.

The museum’ssmall leased hangaris packed to thebrim with artifacts,including restoredand vintage air-craft, uniforms andmedals, models,and engines. Manyof the items weredonated over theyears, and sev-eral of the aircrafthave been lovinglyrestored and madeflight-worthy byteams of volunteers.Several hold specialplaces in B.C. andLangley aviationhistory.

“We can’t add anything new to the col-lection, because we don’t have any room togrow,” said Brunner.

The museum has two storage sites fullof items it can’t bring out. The currenthangar has 650 square metres of space, andthere are several aircraft, including a rareHandley Page Hampden bomber of Second

World War vintage, parked outside.The lack of space also limits restoration

efforts.The new potential site is part of the 51-

acre Derek Doubleday Arboretum, on flood-plain land to the west of the airport. Thenew site is 45 per cent larger than the cur-rent museum footprint, and could accom-

modate a larger building.The site is the far southeast-

ern corner of the arboretum, upagainst the airport and separatedfrom most of the rest of the parksite by a creek.

“We still would have access forour flying aircraft to get out tothe runway,” said Gord Wintrup,who is heading up the museum’sbuilding committee.

If successful, the museumcould be housed in a 15,000square foot concrete building,with another 5,000 square feet ofmezzanine space two years fromnow. That would replace the5,000 square feet the museumcurrently has, and much moreof the collection could be movedindoors.

The preliminary estimatesfrom two builders show that thestructure would cost a little morethan $2 million, said Wintrup.

The land would be almost free– leased from the Township for$1 a year.

With the reduced leasingcosts, commitments from lend-ers, building suppliers, andeven a $50,000 donation fromAir Cadets Squadron 746, themuseum should be able to moveforward, said Wintrup.

The building will benefit theAir Cadets as well, Wintrupnoted. The museum hopes toprovide a permanent meeting

place and home for the cadets in the newbuilding.

The Arboretum and Botanical Society ofLangley has written a letter in support ofthe project, saying it will complement thearboretum.

Access would be by a right-in/right-outdriveway off Fraser Highway.

Thanks Bruce,I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex.I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses wassomething I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’tneed an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less thanI paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great thedeal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glassesanywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for goodcustomer value.

Charity bowlers planto help stray andorphaned cats.

MATTHEW [email protected]

Bowlers can put on theirshoes and knock down a fewpins this month for the 11thannual CARES Bowlathon.

The Feb. 21 event will benefitthe Langley cat shelter, whichcurrently hosts 45 cats. If thatsounds like a lot of felines inone place, keep in mind that it’sactually a pretty low number forCARES, after a very successfulJanuary finding homes for theirrescued and stray animals.

The Bowlathon, one of CARESlong-running fundraisers, willhelp support the shelter as “kit-ten season” begins.

Local shelters typically see anincrease in the number of littersturning up in the spring andsummer. However, there reallyis no slow season for rescuingcats, notes CARES presidentDonna Healy-Ogden.

“It never ends,” she said.Many of the cats come in

injured or with stories ofordeals barely survived. Onevolunteer literally snatched a catfrom the jaws of a coyote.

One current resident of theshelter, Sarah, is recoveringfrom some form of poisoning.Healy-Ogden suspects she atea rat that had been poisoneditself.

The Bowlathon will take placeat Willowbrook Lanes, from6:30 p.m., with bowling to startat 7 p.m. sharp.

There will be three sessionsof bowling, with the last onecompetitive, with gift cards asprizes.

Along with the bowling thereis food, door prizes, a silentauction, and a 50/50 draw.

Everything but beverages areincluded in a $25 ticket.

Tickets can be obtained fromMarian Haney at 604-534-0825or 778-689-7368, Healy-Ogdenat 604-308-5992 or CARES fund-raising chair Clive Ellis at 604-533-4007.

Donations of items for thesilent auction would also bewelcome.

CARES fundraising chair Clive Ellis and presidentDonna Healy-Ogden are raising money foradoptable cats like Jack, a Manx, at the Langleyshelter.

The annual fundraiserfor Big Brothers BigSisters of Langley is fastapproaching and teamsare needed.

RONDA [email protected]

It’s the biggest fundraiser of theyear for Big Brothers Big Sisters(BBBS) of Langley and without it,the organization’s programs couldn’tcontinue. The annual Bowl for KidsSake will take place at WillowbrookLanes on Friday, March 6 andSaturday, March 7.

BBBS is a non-profit organizationwithout government funding. Itsmentoring program for youth is com-pletely reliant upon donations fromthe community to make a difference.

The apt theme for this year’s bowl-ing event is Superheroes. Accordingto Mary Reeves, executive directorfor BBBS, while each year’s theme isdifferent, some things stay the same.

“We’re doing a lot of things thesame as we’ve always done,” shesaid of this year’s Bowl for KidsSake. “It’s about having fun and it’salso a great way to build some team-work with minimal effort whetherit’s a business, or a group of friends,or neighbours.”

Teams of four to six are invitedto participate, but as Reeves noted,even single bowlers or small groupsshould call and register as they canbe teamed up with other bowlers atthe event.

“We just encourage people to getin touch with us if they want to par-ticipate in a really fun event,” notedReeves. “And let’s face it, it’s for thekids. The money raised here, stayshere.”

All funds raised through Bowl forKids Sake go towards the operationof BBBS in the Langleys. In 2014alone, the organization supported323 children and teenagers throughmentor matching.

“That’s as many kids as a largeelementary school,” Reeves said.

While a mentor match may notseem to have direct and immediatepositive impacts on the community,Reeves points out that the programis preventative and makes a differ-ence by keeping youth out of crisissituations.

“Often parents [of the kids in theprogram] don’t realize the need [fora program like BBBS for their kids]until they see the positive changes intheir kids as a result,” Reeves said.

The program is known for helpingyouth make better choices, buildingself-esteem, and reducing bullyingthrough integration of a role model.

If that weren’t enough reasonto get involved in Bowl for KidsSake, a minimum $50 donation perteam member ensures pizza from

Panago, cookies from Subway, andall the standard bowling needs atWillowbrook Lanes.

“Obviously we’re hoping peoplewill raise more [than the $50 min-imum],” Reeves said.

That minimum donation also pro-vides an entry for the top prize.

“I expect to have a pretty goodline up of prizes,” Reeves noted.“First prize is stay and play atSandpiper Golf Course and Rowena’sInn on the River. They [the winnerwill] get dinner, their stay at the inn,and golfing.”

There will also be costume prizes,bingo bowling with prizes, andpoker bowling with prizes, at allthree bowling times. Teams canchoose from 5 p.m. on March 6, or1:30 or 5:30 p.m. on March 7.

“It’s easiest to call and give us theinformation to get the package outfor registration,” Reeves said.

When that team is together, callMary Reeves at Big Brothers BigSisters of Langley at 604-530-5055 tobecome a superhero for local youth.

OUR VIEW

TransLink’sgot to go

R egardless of what each sidemay be trying to tell you,voting Yes in the upcomingLower Mainland transit refer-endum won’t instantly fix all

of our transportation problems.Meanwhile, the No side has been busy

framing the argument to make us believe aYes vote can’t truly fix transit, because it isactually TransLink that is broken.

So Yes may result in a partial and veryexpensive transit fix without getting toroot cause of our problems, while the Novote will only assure that our transit prob-lems will continue, without forcing anychange to TransLink.

And yet the bottom line remains thatboth transit and TransLink have to befixed, sooner than later, no matter onwhich side the final ballot count favours.

Or do they? Sometimes, when some-thing is broken badly enough, you shouldjust throw it away. The transit systemneeds a lot of expensive work done… butTransLink belongs in a dumpster.

How did we, as voters, allow our gov-ernments to create two-tiered transporta-tion in B.C.? Why is the Lower Mainlandset aside from the rest of the province, asecond-class region?

For most of B.C.’s existence, transporta-tion has been a provincial responsibility.It worked especially well in the 1950s and1960s when Premier W.A.C. Bennett andHighways Minister “Flying” Phil Gaglardibuilt a lasting legacy with a then-world-class transportation network.

Now transportation is only a province-wide responsibility when it’s outside theLower Mainland, and we’re on our own.

We’re worse than on our own, in fact– we have TransLink, a body created bythe provincial government to buffer itselffrom our transportation problems.

TransLink operates like our schoolboards: the provincial government ham-strings its budget, claims credit when itworks, and the rest of the time… well…“It’s not our fault, TransLink did it.”

It’s long past time to dissolve TransLinkinto the B.C. ministry in charge of trans-portation – or at the very least, create ajunior portfolio with the minister answer-able directly to cabinet, instead of a bunchof responsibility-deflecting mayors.

– B.G.

You’re entitled toyour opinion… butyou’re also entitledto keep it to your-

self unless you’ve actuallythought about it, and it’snot just a regurgitation ofsomeone else’s ignorantramblings or, worse still,your gullibility focusedthrough the lens of a huck-ster’s scam-artistry.

And if you persist inspouting your nonsense, itis not incumbent upon meor anyone else to blindly accept yourunfounded views as a rational alterna-tive to reality.

We certainly shouldn’t be forced toeagerly accept risk to ourselves or to ourchildren – or to our neighbours, or evenstrangers in far-off lands, for that matter– because you lack the ability to employrational thought.

Anti-vaxxers and climate changedeniers jump to mind immediately,because their failing grasp on reality hasvisible and serious consequences foreveryone outside their own sphere ofignorance.

But there are others, like the anti-evo-lution creationists, for instance, whosechief creation is a slow but inexorableerosion of science education principlesleading to graduation of more and more

ill-informed young people.This group’s product

is less obviously felt ona short term than anti-vaxxers’ measles out-breaks and the climatedeniers’ storms and spe-cies destruction.

The heart of the problemlies in the media-propa-gated myth that “there aretwo sides to every story,”coupled with the generallyheld delusion that “both”sides deserve equal oppor-

tunity to be heard.First, there aren’t two sides to every

story. Some stories may have two sides,but most have as many sides as thereare people telling the story. Everyone’sversion will be a little different.

The other part of the myth is even fur-ther off the mark: all sides of the storydo not necessarily carry equal weight.

Take the climate change story, forinstance: the deniers’ side is basedon misinterpretation of data, and ontrumped-up charges levelled by a hand-ful of “scientists” with dubious creden-tials against tens of thousands of bonafide climate scientists.

Anti-vaxxers base their arguments ona deliberately concocted study and playon coincidence and “gut feelings.”

And that myth can kill people.

the Advance was among a number ofnewspapers in the Lower Mainland and onVancouver Island that were being sold byGlacier Media to Black Press, while othernewspapers currently owned by Black areshifting to Glacier ownership.

As we approach the sale date, we’d liketo assure our readers that they won’t belosing their community newspaper justbecause we’ll have new owners. In fact,ownership of the Advance has changedhands a number of times since the firstedition hit Langley’s streets in 1931.

The new owners have given assurancethey have no intention of closing theAdvance’s doors upon completion of sale,and want us to continue in independentcompetition to other local news sources.

And with that, the staff and manage-ment of the Advance proudly pledge tocontinue our longstanding commitment toGreater Langley, to offer our readers thebest communication services.

When TransLink’s CEO stepped down “to restore public confidence,” this is howsome of our readers reacted:Sheri Dohm – “We are not particularly happy paying two CEO salaries for a year-a-half,”Szel said. “But it was the board’s view to change leadership and change leadership now.”She said the board has been concerned about public confidence at TransLink for sometime, especially over complaints about SkyTrain breakdowns and the Compass Card, and“is listening to customers and the public regarding the need for change and has takenaction.” THIS is why the public has no confidence! Flushing tax money down the drainby not only paying an exorbitant salary to a CEO, but paying DOUBLE. Ridiculous!

Dale Harrison – A cabal of Liberal government appointees who meet in secret, decide toshuffle the deck chairs of their own, agreeing to pay one 16 months’ worth of executivesalary to “advise,” and we’re supposed to be impressed? The time is long overdue to dis-band TransLink and put it under the Ministry of Transportation.

Dear Editor,A Robson Street Tim Hortons got the

world’s attention when its wet-behind-the-ears manager, obviously drunk on hispower to sort Timbits from apple fritters,decided to hitch up his big-boy pants andhead outside, searching for something tobump into with his big puffy chest.

He found a homeless guy sleeping on theground, and decided to throw a cold pail ofwater on him. What happens next unfoldslike a Three Stooges skit.

Corporate releases a statement saying theydon’t approve of their managers assaultingpeople. Duh. But they stop short of firing.

Mr. Puffy Chest, realizing he looks lesslike Dirty Harry and more like Haroldfrom the Red Green Show, thinks maybehe should give some money to a home-

less shelter – while doing nothing to makeamends with the guy he assaulted.

Meanwhile, the major media are inter-viewing merchants about homeless people.

If Tim Hortons PR people were any goodat all, they would have jumped on that assoon as it broke, stuffed the CEO in a limo,picked up the homeless guy, apologized,and taken him for a new set of clothes.

Then they would have put a tab at thatlocation so he could come in three times aday for a warm meal for awhile.

It all would have cost less than $1,000and a bit of time. The media loves a happyending, and the ink and electronic coveragewould have made up for the money.

They could have looked like good, caringcorporate citizens, instead of idots.

Timmy missed big PR opportunity

Dear Editor,I attended Langley School

District’s community consul-tation evening regarding thepossible closure of LangleySecondary School.

I am frustrated that wefind ourselves in this pos-ition as a community again.In the fall of 2007, theBoard of Education voted to“reconfigure” H.D. StaffordSecondary to a middleschool. It meant moving theStafford secondary studentsto LSS. It was not an easytransition for many students

and staff, as they struggledto redefine who they were.

Now the community hasmerged the best of LSS andHDSS to become a fantasticschool which offers learningopportunities for its diversestudent population, whethertheir focus is academics,athletics, fine arts, or trades.

With more than 30 pre-senters at the meeting, themessage was loud and clear:“Right-size LSS.”

That proposal was sug-gested by the LSS commun-ity, and is cheaper than

seismic upgrading of LSS. Italso addresses the facility’supgrade needs.

Having been in thetrenches and fought to“Keep Stafford Secondary,”the irony is not lost on methat I am now imploring theBoE to “Right-size LSS” andkeep it open.

It is the cheapest option,it creates the least disrup-tion for the school district,it makes sense to keepthe kids there rather thanmove them to Brookswoodwhere in another few yearswe may need another highschool due to developmentin the south, they can’trecreate the facility andadjoining amenities that LSShas, there is a strong needto honour LSS as the oldestsecondary in the district,and most importantly, thereis all that the communityhas done to recreate itself.

Disrupting this commun-ity yet again, when a viableoption is available and isfinancially sound, would beirresponsible and a shame.

Tracie Northway, Langley

LSS community deserves to keep school

MP still avoiding end of lifeDear Editor,

Parliament has had, as Langley MP Mark Warawa said[Proper care better than euthanasia, Feb. 12 Letters,Langley Advance] the opportunity to deal with the end-of-lifetopic for years.

Yet, they haven’t dealt with it. Instead, we have heardonly the opinions of Mr. Harper, passed, as usual, by amajority government, time after time.

National strategy? Come on. It took a decisive rulingfrom the Supreme Court to get things going on this, and hewants more time? For what?

To dither, maybe to come up with more ideas to subvertthe will of the people?

Wayne Boylan, Aldergrove

Six couples takepart in a specialvow ceremony.

HEATHER [email protected]

Six couples, marriedanywhere from severaldecades to a few years,renewed their vows in aspecial ceremony just intime for Valentine’s Day.

The couples are all resi-dents of Langley Gardensand needed only lookdown the hall to find anofficiant for the ceremonyFeb. 13.

Greta Shepherd, whoalso lives there, is a mar-riage commissioner, andconducted the ceremony infront of a crowd of familyand fellow residents.

Groom Gaston Du Pauldonned his tuxedo for theoccasion, one he almostdidn’t get to celebrate. Hiswife, Huguette Du Paul,was in hospital a couple ofmonths ago for a leg breakwhen her heart stopped.

Gaston said if his wifehadn’t been in the hospitalat the time, she might nothave survived.

She remains in a walkingcast, and thanks to a newpacemaker, a smooch fromGaston is the only thingthat makes her heart skipa beat these days.

They married in 1957,three years after meet-ing and finding commoninterests in travel, theoutdoors, and sports.They are the parents ofKarinna Du Paul, a SpecialOlympics athlete who hasracked up a number ofmedals, accomplishments,and records.

Peter Langeman wasready for the 2015 renewalceremony with his brideRamona, but just aboutdidn’t make it to theirwedding in 1955.

A few weeks beforethe 1955 ceremony – adouble ceremony in whichhis brother married hersister – Peter was in amotorcycle crash. He wasdetermined to go throughwith the ceremony despite

having his leg amputatedbelow the knee. “On theday of the wedding, hearrived with no front teethand no leg,” said the mar-riage commissioner, “buthe had a new suit.”

The couples were askedwhat’s made their mar-riages last. Most respondedwith answers such as con-sideration, love, patience,humour, and liking manyof the same things.

“He’s very easy toget along with,” repliedRamona. “I get my way

most times.”Gabriel and Josephine

Paradis met in 1949 withtheir first date being dan-cing. They married in1951.

John Rampone metFelicita in 1946 at a familyreunion and they marriedin 1949.

Audrey and Alan Smithmarried a few years afterthey met in 1953.

Denis and Mary Hugheswere married in theautumn of 2010, havingmet at a Starbucks.

The Feb. 13 vow renew-al ceremony includedchampagne, bouquets,and a garter toss by theirfellas, before cake, oodlesof photos, a fair share ofhoneymoon jokes and wellwishes from the crowd.

A Proud Chamber Member

Getting results for B.C. businessFebruary 16, 2015, marks the beginning of Chamber of CommerceWeek, an opportunity for Chambers of Commerce across BritishColumbia to showcase their hard work on behalf of businesscommunities across the province.

This year, Chambers are celebrating the theme of “Leadership inAction” – a theme which highlights the leadership Chambers bringto their business communities, working hard to enhance B.C.as a business-friendly jurisdiction with strong opportunities for allBritish Columbians.

And this leadership delivers results. Following on B.C. Chambers’active advocacy, the federal and provincial governments workingin partnership, were able to deliver a significant win for B.C.’sbusinesses: the launch of the Canada Job Grant in B.C.

Thanks to the hard work of Chambers in B.C., working closely

with a responsive government, employers will be able to apply forup $10,000 in training funds. The Canada Job Grant, funded bythe Government of Canada and administered by the Province ofB.C., is an innovative cost-sharing program that helps employersoffset the cost of training for new or current employees.

And that’s just one of many positive changes that the Chambernetwork has led for B.C. businesses. Among many areas ofimpact, B.C.’s Chambers have been a key voice:

• Encouraging balanced budgets at all levels of government;• Continuing to call for solutions to B.C.’s skills gap; and• Encouraging municipalities to actively support localeconomic development.

As members of the BC Chamber of Commerce, Chambersthroughout the province are part of B.C.’s most extensivebusiness policy development process. This process bringsB.C. businesses’ innovative ideas and on-the-ground insightsto B.C.’s decision makers, and helps shape an ever morebusiness-friendly province. Chamber network policies spanfrom fiscal and tax policy to infrastructure to industry-specificissues.

At the local level, Chambers throughout B.C. are catalysts forchange, bringing together business and community leaders tofigure out how to take each community forward.

So as B.C. celebrates Chamber Week, don’t miss the opportunityto swing by the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce(#1 5761 Glover Road, Langley), join in on some ChamberWeek events (check out www.langleychamber.com for a list ofChamber events), and celebrate the leadership, energy andcan-do attitude that B.C.’s Chambers bring to our communities.

AMATEUR WRESTLING

Langley United sending seven to provincials

Vancouver’s offencecame to life after thesecond quarter.

The Vancouver Stealth leftthe Calgary Roughnecks heart-broken and still winless onValentine’s Day as Langley’spro lacrosse team downed thevisitors 13-9 at the LangleyEvents Centre on Saturdaynight.

The Stealth knew theRoughnecks would comeinto the LEC hungry, as theylooked for their first win of theNational Lacrosse League cam-paign, but after a slow start, thehosts found their game with asix-goal second quarter includ-ing a pair from Tyler Digby.

“It was really important wehad a great solid team gametwo weeks ago and it was ahuge test coming in against afantastic Calgary team that’sstruggling but very dangerousand hungry for a win,” Stealthcaptain Curtis Hodgson said.“It was important for us to stepup and continue to follow theprocess that’s going to makeour team successful. Everybodyplayed their roles and at theend of the day we got the resultwe wanted.”

“Offensively we struggled alittle bit from the start,” addedCorey Small, who scored a goaland four assists. “Our defenceand transition kept us in there.”

The Stealth struggled in theopening quarter, and trailed 2-0.

In the second quarter,Vancouver took its first lead ofthe night on a power play goalby Rhys Duch, who was votedfirst star, finishing with fourgoals and two assists.

“We got behind early butwe got a nice transition goalfrom Curtis, who got usgoing,” Stealth head coach DanPerreault said. “We just chippedaway at it and when we got thelead we never looked back.”

With the Stealth up 6-4 going

into the second half, they didwhat good teams do whenclosing out their opponentsand that’s play shut downdefense and score timely goals.Vancouver outscored Calgary 7-5 in quarters three and four.

“Fourteen power plays againstis pretty tough,” Roughneckshead coach Curt Malawsky said.“We’re already 0 and five andfighting a deficit. It was likehaving a boxing match withyour hands tied behind your

back. It felt like we weren’table to punch back. Every timewe tried to punch back we gotpenalized for it. I’ve never beenin an NLL game where there’s14 penalties against.”

Both teams finished with fourpowerplay goals, but crucialsaves by Tyler Richards keptthe Stealth’s momentum going.

Richards had his best outingof the season, with less than 10goals for the first time this year.

“He’s one of the best in theleague and tonight he provedit,” said Small. “When you gota guy like [Curtis] Dickson com-ing down and you make a bigsave, it’s phenomenal. He keptus in there early. He was thespark at the back end. That’swhere it all starts.”

“We’re to the point where wedon’t care who scores the win-ner, who gets the loose ball, orwho makes the save,” Perreaultadded. “To get a win in thisleague it’s tough; you play hard,play as a team and get reward-ed for hard work.”

Vancouver moves to 3-3 whileCalgary drops to 0-6.

Both teams continue theirrivalry next week in Cowtown,at the Saddledome, where intheir opening game of the sea-son, Vancouver had an 18-14victory over the Roughnecks.

NOTEBOOK: Pro wrestlinglegend Bret “The Hitman” Hartwas in attendance as the spe-cial guest. Hart dropped theceremonial face-off, and signedautographs and took pictures.
