A community service project that started with the Aldergrove Seventh-day Adventist Church has grown into a community-wide tradition. Acts of Kindness has been renovating residential homes in the Aldergrove area for 12 years now. These have been major renovations, worth up to $100,000 each in labour and materials, which have made a significant difference in the lives of the families selected each year. Billed as “Extreme Home Repairs” they have been performed over the course of two weeks prior to the Victoria Day holiday Monday, on which date the homeowners were brought home for the “Big Reveal.” This year the homes selected were for the Laura Canessa family and the Mike and Misty Shufflebotham family. While they were smaller than the usual single residence chosen each year they were still major renovations for both families. And both families were overwhelmed with the quality of the work performed. For the Canessa family, single mother Laura and her sons Dillon, Nick and Lucas, the biggest issue was water leaks through the stucco and mortar exterior which had caused mold problems inside. This work was completed but it also included new paint work inside and out, electrical upgrades, and a new gas fireplace. For the Shufflebothams it had started out as a request from Mike’s mother to provide wheelchair access for Mike to his ensuite washroom, but it escalated into another fairly major upgrade. Mike, who is severely handicapped due to a workplace accident, now has wheelchair access to all of the home, including his front door, and a sunken living room was raised to the same level as the rest of the house. Again, there was significant paint work inside and out and remodeling of the bedrooms, electrical upgrades and a new gas fireplace. Aldergrove Seventh-day Adventist Church pastor Mike Dauncey’s wife, Marcy, said it all

Laura Canessa collapsed in shock and happiness when she saw what the Acts of Kindness Extreme Home Repair had done to her family’s home at the “Big Reveal” Monday. Her sons Nick and Lucas (standing behind her) were just as pleased as their mother was. came down to the reward of seeing the joy it brings to people’s lives. “It’s very moving to see what the acts of kindness can do… it’s our way of paying it forward.” However, it has now grown far beyond the church and its membership, said one of the project co-leaders, Lorne Brownmiller.

Aldergrove takes ownership of Extreme Home Repair FROM FRONT:
“The community is taking ownership of the Extreme Home Repairs, as half of the 130 volunteers who worked on the two projects this year were not from our church,” said Brownmiller. “We are getting calls from the community and businesses who want to help because they also see the value of the work performed.” This year Brownmiller said Jason Speer of Power Pros was invaluable in performing the electrical work at both homes, Isaac Mangone has stepped up to devote construction expertise and Sherry Webb of Nufloors has undertaken the role of leading the decorating team. They are just three of the many valued volunteers, including one man who took two week’s holiday from his job to devote every single day to this year’s Extreme Home Repairs. “We couldn’t have KURT LANGMANN PHOTO done it without this comPastor Mike Dauncey (right) greets the Shufflebotham family (Zack, Mike, Misty and Zoey) at the “Big Reveal” Monday after the Acts of Kindness volunteer munity support,” said Brownmiller. team had completed the Extreme Home Repair of their home.

As the poultry industry works to protect itself from future avian influenza outbreaks, officials shed new light Friday on the source of a bird flu outbreak that led to the deaths of more than 200,000 birds last winter. Speaking Friday during an event to announce funding for poultry farmers affected by the avian influenza outbreak, B.C. Ministry of Agriculture chief veterinarian officer Dr. Jane Pritchard said the virus was likely the product of two different influenza strains combining in the wild and changing into a new and more virulent disease. Pritchard said Ministry of Agriculture staff recently discovered that a falcon killed by a B.C. hunter over the winter was infected with an Eurasian H5N8 version of avian influenza. The discovery backed

Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas speaks Friday during an announcement of compensation for farmers affected by the avian influenza outbreak. officials’ belief that the H5N2 strain found on 13 B.C. farms was the descendent of a H5N8 avian flu version that first appeared last January in Korea and later spread to Europe. Here in North America, that virus likely mingled with a lowpathogenic H5N2 strain found in the wild before infecting local farms, Pritchard said.
In Canada, the outbreak was contained to farms in Aldergrove, Chilliwack and Abbotsford, and quarantines have been lifted at all affected farms. But since its discovery in B.C., the virus has since swept south through the United States, causing the deaths of more than 25 million birds. That makes the outbreak the most damaging avian flu outbreak in
American history. On Friday, federal and provincial politicians were in Abbotsford to announce $1.25 million in funding for a program that will pay operators of infected farms up to 90 per cent of the costs associated with the outbreak. The federal and provincial governments will also provide up to $325,025 to the BC Poultry Association to help establish insurance to protect farmers from the financial costs of future outbreaks. The industry has been working on creating avian influenza insurance for years, and Abbotsford farmer Garnet Etsell said work was 75 to 95 per cent complete when the outbreak hit in late November. “It’s going to really help the industry move forward in future events,” he said. “It’s not a question of if; it’s a question of when.”
Open greenhouse invitation: Drop in for visit on May 23 Aldergrove Star
Owners of British Columbia greenhouses are inviting their neighbours and customers to tour four Fraser Valley greenhouses on May 23 and to see for themselves how so much can be produced from so little, and for so long. To visit a B.C. greenhouse is to look through a figurative, and rarely uncovered, window and see modern science’s solutions to the time-and-space restraints on food production that have challenged humankind since the first nomad planted the first grain seeds 12,000 years ago. In B.C., greenhouse production
of flowers and vegetables accounts for 21 per cent of total agriculture production. That production occurs on only 1/100th of one per cent of all the province’s agricultural land. In B.C., too, greenhouse production puts fresh local vegetables on the kitchen table 10 months of the year. The occasion is a BC Veggie Day promotion organized and sponsored by the BC Greenhouse Growers’ Association, owners of greenhouses in Abbotsford, Aldergrove and Surrey, which are opening their facilities to the public on May 23 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The greenhouses are Calais Farms, 34250 Township Line Rd., Abbotsford; Peppertree Farms, 270 Gladwin Road, Abbotsford; Topgro Farms, 1110 264 St., Aldergrove; and Sunnyside Greenhouses, 1119 176 St., Surrey. BC Veggie Day is supported by the B.C. government’s Buy Local Program and delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C. with funding from the provincial agriculture ministry. The growers’ association website is www.bcgreenhouse.ca, and the association’s Veggie Day website is http://bcgreenhousegrown. com” bcgreenhousegrown.com

Community halls are all right By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
A new survey of Langley Township community halls has found most are in good physical and financial shape. As of 2013, the most recent year fiscal figures were available, 11 of the 15 halls were operating in the black, three were “close to breaking even” and one was in the red. The survey doesn’t identify the lone hall that lost money. It shows eight halls have seen revenues rise, five have reported no change and two reported a drop in revenue. About half of the halls were rated in good to excellent condition by the societies that operate them, while the rest were said to be in fair shape. None of the halls were rated poor, defined as “in need of imme-
diate repair.” One hall complained about a shortage of parking spaces. The 15 halls range in age from 35 to 118 years. The smallest is the Aldergrove Veterans and Seniors Society Hall, which accommodates up to 50 people, while the largest is the West Langley Community Hall, with room for up to 270. Eight of the 15 halls reported annual gross revenues of $24,000 or more. The survey shows that film and television production fees were a substantial source of revenue for the 15 halls, third in importance after rentals (ranked first) and government grants (ranked second). The most common events hosted at the halls were banquets, weddings, anniversaries and special events, followed by community
meetings and fitness-related classes. Most users were private individuals and nonprofit clubs and service organizations, followed by businesses, religious organizations and government agencies. Most halls reported annual expenses of more than $12,000, mostly for heat, light and insurance. Nine halls have paid staff. Four of the halls have seen a drop in the number of volunteers who look after the facilities, while two have seen an increase and the other nine report no significant change. The survey was conducted by the municipal Heritage Advisory Committee while it was working on the new Community Halls Sourcebook, a “go to” guide to help non-profit societies operate and maintain the halls. The book was officially unveiled May 5.

Township policy permits sidewalk patios Aldergrove Star
Diners who enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and a view with their meals will have more opportunities to eat alfresco in the Township of Langley. A new policy allowing sidewalk patios was adopted by Township Council on May 11, giving food and beverage establishments the chance to enhance their outdoor seating areas. The Private Use of Public Sidewalks Policy will allow restaurants to apply for a permit to extend their establishments out onto public right-of-ways, providing they meet certain requirements.
Township staff looked at the implications of allowing the extensions and reviewed policies in other municipalities, and found the practice to be a good fit. “As long as the outdoor seating areas are set up appropriately and pedestrians can still get by, they can really enhance the vibrancy and economic health of our community,” said Paul Cordeiro, the Township’s Manager of Transportation Engineering. Establishments wanting to set up a sidewalk patio need to apply for a permit from the Township’s Engineering Division. Staff will
review the applications to ensure the proposed seating will not create an obstruction or pose safety concerns, and will issue permits where appropriate. Alcohol cannot be served on sidewalk patios in the Township and establishments in heritage and development permit areas must adhere to heritage revitalization and development design guidelines. For more information, call the Township of Langley Engineering Division at 604-533-6006. The new policy can be viewed at tol.ca/sidewalks.

40 per cent of B.C. seniors financially abused: report By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star
A new study suggests more than 40 per cent of B.C. seniors have been financially abused, usually by someone they know and trust. The report by Vancity Credit Union and a companion survey of Lower Mainland and Victoria seniors by the Mustel Group indicate the problem is much more pervasive than higherprofile fraud against seniors by unknown scammers. It cites estimates from other researchers that 55 per cent of cases of seniors fraud or financial abuse are perpetrated by family, friends, neighbours or caregivers and that total losses could run as high as $1.3 billion in B.C. “The most common are demands for money from family members,” the report says, dubbing it an “invisible crime.” Seniors financial abuse is when someone uses the senior’s money, property or personal information for their own benefit without authorization. It’s less often outright theft or scams and more often pressure tactics that result in scenarios that benefit the abuser. The survey found 19 per cent of southwest B.C. seniors had lost money to someone who never repaid a loan, or who borrowed money without telling the senior at all. Another 18 per cent said they’d been pressured into giving money. Common scenarios include younger family members campaigning for an early bequest. “A lot of older adults are being pressured by their now
grown-up children to give them their inheritance early so they don’t have to wait until you die,” said Lorraine Logan, president of the Council of Senior Citizens of B.C. Sometimes the aim is to avoid loss of family wealth to capital gains tax, she said. Logan said high home prices in Metro Vancouver are often a reason seniors are urged to contribute to a down payment so children or grandchildren can get into the real estate market. Such transfers can be completely legitimate, or highly questionable if the senior feels forced to consent or if doubts arise about their ability to legally consent. The Vancity report says other financial abuse scenarios include: - A family member or caregiver who shops or pays bills for a senior but spends for themselves as well using the senior’s cash, debit or credit card. - Redirecting incoming benefits cheques for deposit to the abuser’s account instead of the senior’s. - Predatory marriage to a senior to gain access to their assets. Logan said seniors and legal advisers should be on high alert for trouble whenever signing legal agreements that put financial control into someone else’s hands. “I’ve heard a young person say ‘I’m going to get power of attorney for my dad and then I’m going to go out and buy him a new car so I can drive him around.’” Few seniors ever blow the whistle on family, Logan said. “It’s so sensitive,” she said. “If you’re the victim of your son and daughter raping your
bank account you probably not going to want to tell anybody.” Any senior can be at risk, the Vancity report said, but many are even more vulnerable if they lack financial understanding, are isolated without a strong social circle, a newcomer to Canada facing language or cultural barriers, unsure of the value of their home or other assets, or are impaired by medication, stress or exhaustion from medical problems. The report recommends financial institutions train frontline staff to recognize seniors financial abuse and to help seniors identify abusive scenarios.
WARNING SIGNS - Senior feels they’re losing control over financial affairs. - Unexpectedly failing to meet a financial obligation for the first time. - Unexpected bank or credit card transactions. - Bank statement is being sent to someone other than the senior. PREVENTION - Get independent legal advice before signing documents. - Set up bank direct deposits for government and pension accounts and automatic payment of bills. - Keep financial and personal information in a safe place, never give anyone a bank card PIN. - If lending money, write down the person’s name, amount and date and ask the borrower to sign. - Keep in touch with a variety of friends and family to avoid being isolated. – source: Vancity Credit Union
The provincial Electoral Boundaries Commission got it remarkably wrong in terms of proposed changes to provincial boundaries in Abbotsford and Langley. In most parts of the rapidly growing Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley areas, the redrawn provincial ridings make sense. That’s not the case here, as recently noted by the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Henry Braun, who sent letters of opposition to the commission. From its current three, Abbotsford would see five MLAs, four of whom would also represent significant portions of Langley, Fort Langley, Mission or Chilliwack. One riding would be solely within Abbotsford. Instead of moving the Fort Langley-Aldergrove boundary to the west to take into account growth in Langley, the commissioners split Langley in half along Highway 1. But in order to find enough people to fill two of the three ridings, the commission reached deep into Abbotsford, including rural and urban areas west and south of the AbbotsfordClearbrook town centre area, and going as far east as the Huntingdon-Sumas border crossing. At the same time, the commission included a portion of Chilliwack into the most eastern Abbotsford riding. These decisions serve none of the communities well. There will be four MLAs juggling Abbotsford, Langley, Mission and Chilliwack issues. Langley and Abbotsford aren’t even in the same regional district, and Abbotsford isn’t in the Metro Vancouver area, so major transportation issues such as TransLink aren’t relevant there. The commission is accepting comments until May 26. Community groups, business organizations, political watchers and others who have concerns about these proposed boundaries need to let the commission know that they are not acceptable. For more details, or to provide input, visit bc-ebc.ca. Make your views known.

Transportation policy needs major revision Editor: Lenora Nicholson makes some very valid points regarding transportation costs and taxpayer burden. An in-depth read and analysis of the Fraser Valley Growth Strategy of June 1, 2000 is an eye-opener. This strategy, originating from meetings held in 1997, is a document that has as much relevance today as the news that movies are now in colour. This report is one that is in effect and apparently was utilized to plan the valley’s transportation needs. The conclusions therein have no relevance to today’s reality. The transportation forecast for the time period 2000 to 2020 are for a doubling of population and number of vehicles on the roads — a forecast that has absolutely nothing in line with the current traffic flows and population. Current expectations for the population of the valley are around a million people in the immediate future. The use of this document for planning our future is ludicrous. BC on the Move has come out with a new 10-year plan that apparently reflects the opinion of the residents of the Fraser Valley. In some instances, it contradicts the 2000 growth strategy. It appears that the original strategy of 2000 did not work and needs revision or updating. This is another government boondoggle. Terry Brenan, Aldergrove

Sacrificing farmland for climate change VICTORIA – It was 2008 when word first surfaced that B.C. farmland was being bought up to grow trees as a European carbon offset. Reckitt Benckiser Inc., a British-based global manufacturer of household products such as Lysol spray and Calgon laundry soap, bought 1,500 hectares east of Vanderhoof and planted aspen. For comparison, that’s about the size of downtown Vancouver from 16th and Oak to Stanley Park. Since tree growing is permitted in the Agricultural Land Reserve, a use intended for fruit, ornamental or nursery trees, no permission was needed. And to meet the carbon offset rules of the UN’s International Panel on Climate Change, a 100year restrictive covenant against harvesting trees was issued by B.C.’s land titles office. Goodbye farmland. After that deal, the B.C. government changed legislation in 2011 to require permission from the Agricultural Land Commission to make these covenants valid. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick says he is waiting for that process to be tested.
MLA Bob Simpson raised the issue in the legislature in 2008, noting that Crown land near Vanderhoof had been sold for farming, bought by a numbered company and then “flipped” for around $1 million to RB Trees. Now mayor of Quesnel, Simpson takes issue with the company’s claims with his usual shyness. “It’s bull----,” he told me. “This isn’t marginal land.” He said it includes prime alfalfa fields and historical ranch and forage crop lands. In one case, neighbours found out about the new use when they saw a helicopter spraying herbicide to prepare the area for tree seedlings. In the Cariboo as in other rural B.C. areas, aging farmers want to retire and young people keen to work seven days a week are in short supply. So naturally there is pressure to sell. Perhaps Letnick is right, and the ALC will stop productive farmland from being turned back into forest. While we’re waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions. What happens when these forests burn? The first big forest

It likely will be soon. Reckitt has bought another 7,000 hectares of cleared farmland from Prince George down through the Cariboo to Quesnel. NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham has been tracking these acquisitions, and she says there are more deals in the works. Last fall, the Bulkley Nechako Regional District wrote to Victoria Wood, Reckitt Benckiser’s “global head of sustainability,” telling her that “the planting of trees on centrally located and productive agricultural lands is not appropriate” and would weaken local farm economies. Wood responded that the RB Trees project targets only “marginally productive” land such as pasture, abandoned farms or those that have been up for sale for long periods. Former Cariboo North
fire of 2015 grew out of control near Prince George last week. And since aspen doesn’t last 100 years, what is its real carbon offset value? How’s that European carbon trading market doing? It’s a mess, with the cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide fallen far below what’s needed to be effective, and Interpol investigating various schemes to game the system. Remember B.C’s own Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly greenhouse gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value to say the least. Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather? Would it offset the loss of local production and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere? And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme?

B.C. axes Agricultural Land Reserve boss By TOM FLETCHER Aldergrove Star
The B.C. government has “released” Agricultural Land Commission board chair and CEO Richard Bullock, and will pay out his five-year contract until it ends in November, Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said Thursday. Bullock will be replaced effective immediately by long-time Saanich mayor Frank Leonard, who was voted out after nearly 20 years in last fall’s civic elections. Letnick said with new regulations taking effect to manage the Agricultural Land Reserve with two zones, it was time to make a change and let Leonard and the board choose a new CEO. The B.C. government has been at odds with Bullock since early in his five-year term, when he stopped appointing commissioners to six regional panels around the prov-
ince. Energy Minister Bill Bennett, who pushed through the two-zone system under the auspices of his “core review” of government services, said a year ago that Bullock found the regional panels to be “a pain in the ass” and preferred to run the commission from its head office in Burnaby. So the government mandated regional appointments in legislation along with the two-zone concept.
Leonard takes over as the ALC deals with a vast Interior “zone two” with relaxed rules for second residences and non-farm activities. Commissioners are also expected to deal with applications by a British manufacturing giant buying B.C. Interior farms to turn back to forest for European Union carbon credits. Letnick said the regional panels are up

The Langley School District is keeping up with a rapidly-growing number of students and the computer modelling it uses to predict that growth has been accurate, Township council was told recently. But that doesn’t mean parents can expect their children will be able to walk to school, secretarytreasurer David Green
said. Parents can be assured their children will attend schools within the catchment areas set by the district, but they may have to be driven to school or take a school bus, Green explained. “We may not be able to accommodate them in particular schools, but we can accommodate them in the district,” Green said. Green was responding to questions from council
after giving a slide show presentation to explain how the district uses computer software and sample neighbourhoods to generate projections of student growth in the district. These are the numbers it uses to lobby the provincial government to justify new school construction. Those numbers have been “remarkably close” to the actual increase in

TransLink will likely abandon its zone system and tap-out requirement for buses and charge all bus riders for one zone only when it eventually rolls out the rest of its delayed Compass card program. There’s no final date set yet to fully activate the faregates and smart card system, which was mandated by the provincial government seven years ago and supposed to have been operational by fall of 2013. But officials announced Thursday they’re taking another step forward by rolling Compass out to all West Coast Express users in June and to all university students with U-Passes by the end of summer, boosting the number of users by September to 220,000 out of an eventual 850,000.

students, Green said. Most schools have been within 20 or 30 students of their projected populations, Green said. Among other things, the system tracks a sample of more than 400 single family houses in the Yorkson neighbourhood within the rapidlygrowing Willoughby area of the township, carrying out a yearly survey of the number of school-age children.

“It is a limited sample,” Green conceded under questioning by council, but he doubted the numbers would be any more accurate if a larger sample was used, and that would be a “time-consuming” process. Asked about the new middle school in Yorkson, which is already over capacity, Green said there was available room in other schools within the district. “They can be accommodated elsewhere, somehow,” Green said. “Lynn Fripps is not filled right now,” he noted, even though the new school came online three years ago. Building another school was up to the provincial ministry of education, and it is not likely to happen any time soon, Green indicated. “We don’t have the funding to build an elementary school [in Willoughby] right now,” Green said. “The ministry is the defining factor.” The school district was invited to explain how it generates student size projections because some members of council were concerned about the ability of the district to accommodate population growth in rapidlyexpanding neighborhoods. While Green took questions, Langley Board of Education chair Rob McFarlane and district superintendent of schools and CEO Suzanne Hoffman watched from the audience.

‘Salad days’ at Fair By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
It’s going to be “salad days” for the Aldergrove Festival Days Society at the 103rd year of the fair tradition in Aldergrove. The society’s two major events are the Aldergrove Fair Days to be held on July 17-18-19, 2015, and the Aldergrove Christmas ‘Light Up’ Parade which is always held on the evening of the second Saturday in December. On July 17-18-19, Aldergrove Festival Days Society and Aldergrove Agricultural Association jointly host the Aldergrove Fair on the grounds of the Aldergrove Athletic Park and Aldergrove Secondary School (26770 - 29 Ave.). Aldergrove Festival Days president Karen Long said, “This year’s theme is ‘SALAD’ which stands for Shooters, Artists, Luge, Animals and Divas. The fair, which won Langley Tourism’s event of the year award the other day, will be a world-class unique event.” The Fair starts at 6 p.m., on the Friday, with a Car Show’n Shine, food, music and more activities. On the Saturday and Sunday there will be fun for the entire family with entertainment, rides, food, and great things to see, do and buy throughout each day. The Aldergrove Fair Days Parade returns on the Saturday at 10 a.m., and stays on Fraser Highway downtown, starting at the Community Policing Office at 270 Street and ending at 273 Street by the OAP Hall. The public is invited to register floats or other entries in the 2015 Parade. Saturday’s opening ceremonies also include the presentation of the Hilda Reddick Volunteer of the Year Award and the Bev Gold Youth Volunteer Award. Long says they are inviting nominations for the awards and the public can send their suggestions to the society, email: info@AldergroveFairDays.com
There is nothing that truly says “Country Fair” better than rows of prize exhibits of sewing, gardening and other crafts that demonstrate the skill, the enthusiasm and the country pride of the exhibitors. The Aldergrove Fair Exhibits Entry Book lists all the sections and categories adults, youths and preschoolers may enter and offers a sneak peek at some great events offered in 2014. It is available at: www.aldergrovefair.ca/. “We are working on some new events this year,” said Long. “We are turning the exhibit hall at the Kinsmen Community Centre into a Fairyland, a Fairy Gardens, and there will be an interactive area where we will be making berry wines. “We also encourage and try to get kids involved, with the 4H exhibits and we’re aiming for a children’s fashion show this year.” The Zucchini Races luge track returns so that fairgoers can decorate their zucchinis and put wheels on them for races down the track. The Chili Cookoff and other food events are featured on the Sunday this year, and the Fair Days ‘Weekend in Aldergrove’ raffle features $1,000 worth of garden equipment donated by Bruce Heslop of Diamond Bar Equipment. Look for the schedule of events published on the week of the Fair in The Aldergrove Star, so you can take in the Agricultural Exhibits, Antique Tractor Pull, Extreme Lawnmower Races, World Fast Draw Championship and Air Pistol demonstrations, Chili Cook-off Contest, Hay Rides, Kids Zone, Reptile Guy, the Westcoast Amusements carnival rides, the Cowboy Church and Pet Parade, among other entertainment and activities. Admission to the Fair is by donation and vendors, sponsors and volunteers are always welcomed. “Volunteers are the magic ingredient in any organization. The most help is needed close to and during the Fair, from July 16 to 19. Your help at any time is wonderful,” said Long. “Contact the Fair at: aldergrovevolunteers@gmail.com to work out how your schedule could fit with ours.”

The Starfish Pack program, a joint project between the Abbotsford Food Bank and the Abbotsford Rotary Club, received its second international recognition over the past weekend. During an annual Rotary district conference, held in Tulalip, Wash., the program was given the McLean Community Service Award, recognizing it as the most outstanding community service project in the Rotary 5050 District, which SUBMITTED PHOTO covers clubs in B.C. and The Starfish Pack Program, a joint project be- Washington. tween the Abbotsford Food Bank and the AbbotsStarfish Packs proford Rotary Club, received its second international vides weekly backpacks recognition recently. containing six meals each
weekend to over 260 elementary school students in 22 Abbotsford schools. The program also recently launched its first Starfish Depot, which will provide food and other resources to school children and their families year-round. Although the program was created locally, it has attracted significant attention and interest from outside the community as well. Last month, the Aldergrove Rotary club launched its own Starfish Pack program to serve students in that community. Other communities are in discussion with the club, asking for help in

bringing the program to their communities. Abbotsford Rotary president Hugh Ellis wants to ensure Abbotsford doesn’t lose sight of the need. “We’re feeding over 260 kids every weekend, which is amazing. But there are still 150 additional kids going hungry every single weekend because we don’t have the dollars or volunteers to include them in the program yet. Being recognized with this recent award can’t cause us to stop and celebrate, we need to use it as motivation to move forward until every child in Abbotsford who needs this program can get it.”

Dodgers bat for ‘Showdown’ sterling silver By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
The Aldergrove Dodgers played their hearts out at the 18U AAA Showdown Tournament but ended up losing 9-6 to the Ridge Meadows Royals in the final game Monday. The Royals were the only team the Dodgers lost to in their six games over the Victoria Day long weekend, May 14-18, at Aldergrove Athletic Park. The 10 team tournament featured AAA and equivalent teams from Greater Vancouver, Vancouver Island, and the BC Interior. Aldergrove defeated South Fraser Giants 17-0 and Cowichan Valley 10-0 before falling to the Royals 1-8 in game three. Aldergrove followed that with two more wins, 11-1 over Coquitlam A’s and a 3-1 win over the Nanaimo Bucs, the top team of their pool, in Monday morning’s semifinals. Ridge Meadows defeated the Whalley Chiefs 8-1 in their semi final round, to set the Aldergrove and Ridge Meadows teams up for the gold and silver round. Aldergrove fought back from a 5-0 deficit but it was not enough, as the Royals went on to win the gold with a 9-6 final score. Still, it was a sterling silver finish for the Dodgers, who gave an outstanding performance. Their roster is Yuto Tanaka (pitcher), Mitch Brown, Travis Thiesen, Mitch Taylor, Nathan Dahl, C.J. Jamieson, Dawson Nelson, Arran Johnston, Clayton Churchill and Jonny St. Denis. The full roster included Jacob Baker, Colin Hopes,
Monti Smith and Nic Davies, who did not play in the game or were injured. Jonny St. Denis was called up from Midget AA to play in the tournament, along with Noah Tombe and Adam Rajala. PEEWEE TOURNAMENT THIS WEEKEND Minor baseball action returns to Aldergrove Athletic Park as Aldergrove hosts the 13U AA John Main Tournament, May 21-24. The BC Baseball John Main 13U Peewee Tournament features 16 Peewee AA teams coming from around the province. This BC Baseball heritage tournament is limited to one team plus pickups from each association entered in four pools, and so this tournament features the top 13U Peewee talent in the province on four fields over four days. With four 13U Peewee fields available at Aldergrove Athletic Park, this is only the second time in the tournament’s history that one association has been able to host all of the games. The four pools include teams from Kelowna, North Delta, Duncan, Burnaby, Vancouver Minor, Chilliwack, Coq-Moody, Aldergrove, Ladner, Cloverdale, Abbotsford, Newton, Richmond, Nanaimo, Tsawwassen and Kamloops. For Aldergrove action starts on Friday at 6 p.m. on field #1 with the Aldergrove Dodgers vs. Kamloops. Next up is Saturday at 9 a.m. on field #2 with Burnaby vs. Aldergrove. Then at 6 p.m. on field #1 it will be Newton vs. Aldergrove. The semi finals begin on Sunday at 10 a.m. with the top teams of the

WAYNE ‘BAMMER’ BAMPTON REMEMBERED It is with a heavy heart that the Aldergrove Minor Baseball Association announces the passing of Wayne Bampton on May 9, 2015. Wayne was a dominant figure, both on and off the field, who gave countless hours in pursuit of promoting and advancing amateur sports in British Columbia and inspiring youth to play hard, play with determination but above all play with respect.
Wayne never yielded in illustrating the importance of teamwork, camaraderie and passion... he did so for the love of the game, for the love of community and most importantly, for the kids. No words can adequately express the sorrow this loss brings but our thoughts turn to Katryna, Bill, Kristofer, JJ (Alysha) and grandson Jaxson as they mourn the loss of this gentle giant. Your father/grandfather will forever hold a place in many hearts as we cherish the fond memories of a special friend and one that touched the souls of so many.

Poppy Redhawks fall to ‘Storm’ at valley finals By GARY AHUJA Aldergrove Star
Despite controlling much of the play, the D.W. Poppy Redhawks could not score enough points, falling 13-10 in overtime to the Southridge Storm. The teams were playing in the Fraser Valley championship final for senior boys 2A rugby. The game was played on Wednesday afternoon at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium. “The difference in the game was we couldn’t score on Southridge. They have a very strong defence,” said Poppy coach Kyle Barry. “I give them full credit for stopping our track; they played a great defensive game.” Despite the loss, Barry was happy with his team’s performance. “We had the majority of the possession in the game moving the ball, winning scrums and counter rucking, but just couldn’t get to the try line,” he said. The teams had also played in the first week of the regular season, with the Storm winning that contest 12-5. Southridge was the top seed in
the division while Poppy was second with a 5-2 record. The Redhawks defeated Chilliwack’s Graham Grizzlies 37-12 in the semifinals last week while the Storm beat the Mountain Eagles in the other semifinal. The Grizzlies beat the Eagles in the Fraser Valley third-place game and the top three teams were guaranteed spots at the provincial championships, which begin May 23. Mountain did qualify for provincials, however, after defeating a team from the Okanagan, Clearwater-Barriere, 15-5 in a wildcard game. Poppy, who won the Fraser Valley title in 2014 and finished eighth at provincials last year, has five returnees from that squad. “I think they learned that this (Fraser Valleys and provincials) are a grind and having a full team is beneficial in the B.C.’s,” Barry said. “The team also learned this year that rugby is more than just a game: it’s a family, and a brotherhood, and it’s been amazing to see them all become friends on and off the field. “I think they have learned to
play as a team and as a family.” At the start of the year, the Redhawks had a pair of goals. One of those was to win Fraser Valleys, which they came up short in. But the other goal is still attainable: a top eight finish at provincials. “Like I said to my guys today, myself and my fellow coaches are extremely proud of the year that we have put together so far and look forward to finishing the season at provincials,” Barry said. To prepare for provincials — and to take advantage of the number of players they had — Poppy ran two senior teams: one which played in league and the other which was an exhibition team that faced 3A second division teams. Barry likes his team chances to finish in the top half at provincials. “Our team is very well-rounded; we have a solid group of forwards who all do their jobs and are strong tacklers and a back line that is good on both sides of the ball,” he said. “We won our games by executing our game plan and grew stronger as the season continued.”

Pet trainer fulfills strange requests in line of duty Aldergrove Star
Bonnie Judd’s love of animals started early. “My mom told me I learned to walk by holding on to our spaniel’s collar with one hand and my diaper with the other,” laughs Bonnie. “As a young girl, I spent many hours teaching my dog to play soccer. I still do that sort of thing but... now, I get paid for it. Even the soccer playing came in handy as I used those techniques when I trained the dogs for Air Bud III -World Pup.” An in-demand animal trainer for the film industry, Bonnie provides and trains not only dogs but critters as diverse as monkeys, camels, boars, elephant, cockroaches and lemurs to name just a few. She has trained animals for producers from as far away as Europe, Japan, Argentina, and of course her local area, Metro Vancouver. Her work can be most
recently seen on The Flash, Arrow, Signed, Sealed, Delivered, A Christmas Tail, and Monster Truck. She has an enviable list of credits that stretch back to the X-Files And Millennium, Smallville, Supernatural and feature such animalcentric movies as Air Bud (I, II, III and IV), Dogs And Cats, Good Boy!, Bailey’s Billions and The Dogfather. She has been asked to train animals to perform some strange behaviours over the years. For one commercial “Fergus Bud Light” she was required to train her dog Scrabble to bite a guy in the crotch. This proved an effective, if cringe-worth method of getting Scrabbles onscreen owner a beer. Recent commercials saw her teaching a sheep to paw at a smart phone, a dog to hump a guy’s leg and training a pony to kick the same poor guy in the head.
Bonnie’s success really comes down to one thing - she understands how animals think. Her training methods start by adapting the natural drives and instincts of the animal. She says, “I meet the animal half-way and instead of forcing the animal to do something, I work with the animal to develop the behaviour in a way that is natural and fun. Most of the animals I see trained today are jerked or bribed into doing what the owner wants and often the dog eventually comes to perform the behaviour in spite of the training instead of because of it.” While Bonnie is a proponent of positive motivation, she stresses that communication with the animal is key. If that animal doesn’t understand what you are asking of it all the treats and toys won’t make a difference. Bonnie is known for
finding the right animal for the job. She says as an animal coordinator she is often required to show 50 or more photos for a given project. This requires her to stay tuned-in to the animal community. A few years back she developed Canine Co-Stars and started offering training classes at her facility in the Fraser Valley so that she would have a pool of trained animals to showcase to producers. Her classes focus on developing the partnership between student and dog and helping the student understand how to teach their dog to actively participate in the learning process. This makes it possible to take the training beyond the Bonnie Judd with “Holly.” basic, heel, sit and down to do things you would to where a dog can learn totally not want in real the specific (and some- life - like digging holes, times weird) tasks for in barking and chasing peofront of camera. ple,” explains Bonnie. “In the movies, we are Learn more about often called to train dogs Bonnie and her on screen

projects at: www.bonniejudd.com/. In addition to training, Bonnie’s love of dogs led her develop an all-natural raw dog food. Movie dogs need to have
calm nerves, bright eyes, glossy coats and abundant energy to carry them through a long day on set. She found commercial dry food lacking and worked with a top canine nutritionist to develop a natural alternative. Word of mouth led to high demand and she eventually made the food commercially available Chow For Now. You can find out more about her line of food products at www.chowfornow.ca All work and no play is no fun - even for Bonnie. One of her current side projects has seen her erect a full-size extreme dock diving pool to provide fun and enrichment for her own and others’ animals. It is a fact that no matter what the future brings for Bonnie we know for sure it will feature her animals. You can get in touch with Bonnie at: www.bonniejudd.com
