Aldergrove StArSS

Two homes burned to the ground in Langley over the weekend, and at least one of them was deliberately set.

Langley RCMP and the Township fire department are now investigating a fire that started at around 11 p.m. on Halloween in an older home, at 1322 - 216 St.

Fire crews arrived with-in eight minutes of being called to the blaze, but in the time it took them to get there, heavy black smoke had made visibility in the rural area difficult, said assis-tant fire chief Pat Walker.

The home, a 1955 one-storey with basement, burned to the ground, said Walker.

The tenants of the home had moved out that day, so it

was unoccupied at the time of the blaze. Walker said the cause is still undetermined. Fire investigators were back at the scene on Monday.

On Friday, at around 7:30 a.m., the outside of a home in Aldergrove was set ablaze. Fire crews were called to the residence, located at 26595 - 29 Ave. Flames were burning through the roof by the time they arrived.

The fire had been set on the outside of the house, flames climbed up the wall and into the attic, said Walker.

There was extensive damage and the home is a complete loss. Nobody was living in the house at the time of the fire, but it con-tained some furniture, left behind by the last tenant.

Langley RCMP continue to investigate.

Aldergrove and the east Langley areas will be carved up and moved into new pro-vincial electoral districts under new legislation introduced at the legislature Thursday, Oct. 29.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton tabled legislation to adopt the recommendations of the latest B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission and create the two new constitu-encies to reflect high-growth areas of provincial population, bringing the number of MLAs in the legislature to 87.

The commission recom-mended changes to boundar-

ies to 48 existing constituen-cies, after public hearings since it proposed the changes this spring to balance population. It was restricted by a law that prevents the elimination of electoral districts in areas out-side the urban southwest.

The areas of Aldergrove and east Langley which were formerly part of the Fort Langley-Aldergrove riding will be divided into three newly named or reconfigured ridings: Abbotsford South, Langley East and Abbotsford West.

Fort Langley-Aldergrove will cease to exist and the rid-ing of Langley will include the area from 72 Avenue to the

U.S. border, between 196 and 216 Streets.

Abbotsford South will take in the area from 248 Street to Boundary Road in Chilliwack, between the U.S. border and Hwy. 1.

Abbotsford West will include the area between the Fraser River and Hwy. 1, from 264 Street to the Abbotsford-Mission Hwy.

Langley East is a “T” shaped riding, which will run from the Fraser River to the U.S. border, with the top part of the “T” including the area from 264 to 196 Streets, and the bottom part including the area between 216 and 248 Streets.

The latest boundaries leave a wide range of popu-lations to be represented by a single MLA. The lowest populations are Stikine with

20,616 and North Coast with 22,382. At the other end of the scale are Vernon-Monashee, Vancouver-Fraserview and Vancouver-Kingsway, all with

more than 62,000 people.The last review in 2008 rec-

ommended that an urban pop-ulation shift should result in

Aldergrove divided up in new B.C. ridings

a reduction of one seat in the Cariboo-Thompson region and one in northern B.C. The government intervened keep those seats and increase the total con-stituencies from 83 to 85.

The B.C. Liberals and NDP agreed then that northern constituencies could not get any larger and still be represent-

ed by a single MLA.The 2008 review added seats in

the Okanagan, Fraser Valley, Surrey, Burnaby-Tri-Cities and downtown Vancouver.

The commission’s report and maps are available on its website at:

bc-ebc.ca/reports-with files from Tom Fletcher

Langley East is the only new electoral boundary which would take in only areas of Langley Township.

Proposed boundaries of Abbotsford West include a portion of Langley Township.

During the night of Sunday, Oct. 25, between mid-night and 4 a.m., thieves went to great lengths to steal two John Deere tractors and a flat deck trailer.

Thieves arrived at Prairie Coast Equipment on Fraser Highway in Langley sometime after midnight. The suspects arrived in a tow truck, loaded up a flat deck trailer with two John Deere tractors on it, and after forcing other vehicles out of the way, drove off.

Items stolen are described as:

• Ward Haul 22 foot flat deck trailer bearing BC licence 80042C;

• John Deere 1025R tractor;

• John Deere G110 lawn tractor. Surveillance footage from the business captured a

picture of the suspect tow truck. It is described as two toned with white on top tow truck, with roof clearance lights and no rear boom set up.

If you have information that might assist with this investigation, please call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. Should you need to remain anonymous, call CrimeStoppers 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

The stockings have been hung with care, the tree is decorated, even the toys are out on display as volunteer elves set-tle into the new location of the Langley Christmas Bureau.

Officially opening its doors to the public on Monday (Nov. 2), the Christmas Bureau is now located at the former Blessings store at 19638 Fraser Hwy., in the same mall as Big Gary’s Vacuums and Cloverdale Paint.

Last year, 800 families and 1,756 Langley children were helped by the bureau. Toy Days allow for parents to pick out presents they know their chil-dren will like.

This year, the Bureau is hoping the community will sponsor a family by making them a Christmas hamper. Last

year, more than 600 families in need were sponsored.

The office will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays to register clients and receive donations.

A registration office will also be available in Aldergrove at the AVIA Employment Services office located at 26956 Fraser Hwy. The hours at the Aldergrove office will be 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Parents wanting to register will require two pieces of ID with a current Langley address and CareCards for all family members to be registered with the bureau.

For further information on how to register, donate or sponsor a family con-tact the office at 604-530-3001 or go to www.langleychristmasbureau.com

Changes to the configuration of commercial and regular traffic lanes at the Aldergrove port of entry (POE) will start on Monday, Nov. 9.

Commercial operations will cease temporarily, between Nov. 9 and 22, to accommodate current con-struction efforts.

All medium and large commercial vehicle operators will be required to use alternate ports: Pacific Highway Commercial crossing or the Abbotsford-Huntingdon (Sumas) Commercial crossing. Commercial importers in small vehicles will be able to access the Aldergrove POE through regular traffic lanes.

Effective Nov. 9, the Aldergrove POE will be con-figured with the capacity of four regular traffic lanes. Regular traffic lanes will be open from 8 a.m. to mid-night, seven days a week, including statutory holidays.

The Canada Border Services Agency Aldergrove commercial facility will resume operations on Monday, Nov. 23, with services open seven days a week.

The Washington State Department of Transportation will open two additional northbound lanes from the U.S. on State Route 539 as of Nov. 9.

A campaigner for an indoor pool in Aldergrove has warned Township council that supporters are so disappointed with the deci-sion to make the new recreation centre pool an outdoor facility, and so doubtful it will ever be truly indoors that they don’t want to raise funds for pool equipment and accessories.

“If it’s not going to be indoors, people are not going to help at all,” said Joanne Nicolato of the Aldergrove Recreation and Pool Society.

Nicolato came to the Monday night council meeting to seek assur-ance that the pool can be converted to an indoor facility down the road, as mayor Jack Froese has said.

There is concern that the Township could just put a roof over the pool and leave it open to the elements, Nicolato said.

“We are asking council and staff to clarify what indoor means to them so that the community can be on the same page as they are,” Nicolato told council.

“Covered is not indoor.” The design needs to have “prop-

er foundations, electrical systems and space for future mechanical

and HVAC systems to support a fully enclosed indoor pool,” she said.

Nicolato called on council to make the final building and pool design public, “so the public can see exactly what facilities, or lack of, is

being provided to the community.”The Township trimmed the

estimated cost of the new centre at 27032 Fraser Hwy. from $55 mil-lion to $26 million by opting for an outdoor pool and demolishing the Aldergrove Elementary School, rather than upgrade the school to modern standards.

The new Township facility will feature a two-level, 550-seat hockey arena and events space, fitness cen-tre, walking surface, multi-purpose rooms, and an outdoor aquatic facility with a six-lane, 25-metre pool, waterslides, tidal pool, cur-rent channel, children’s aqua struc-ture, picnic areas and playground.

The reduced cost means the Township will not have to hike taxes or seek approval for any more potentially-controversial sales of surplus land to raise the necessary money.

At the time, mayor Froese said the reduced cost allows the munici-pality to build a facility now, rather than wait until it finds more funds.

“Do we build something today or do we wait another 20 years?” Froese said.

The pool and water park are scheduled to open in May of 2018, followed a few months later by the new arena.

Lobbying for a ‘truly’ indoor Aldergrove pool

By MYLES DOLPHINAldergrove Star

Langley trustees have expressed concerns about what kind of learn-ing environment can be offered when required academic courses have more than 30 students in them.

At the board of education meet-ing on Tuesday, a report showed that there were 24 high school classrooms with more than 30 stu-dents this year. Four have been brought into compliance. The majority of those packed classes are for provincially required courses such as math 10 and science 10.

“I have concerns with the learning conditions for a math 10 class of 34 students at Langley Fundamental School and 36 students in pre-calculus at DW Poppy,” said trustee David Tod, who is a teacher in Abbotsford.

“You would have to be a miracle worker to pull that off.”

“How many of those kids have failed math 10 and are back again?” asked trustee Rosemary Wallace.

“I worry about kids falling through the cracks,” said trustee Alison McVeigh.

Trustee Shelly Coburn pointed out that studies have shown that

students who fail math 10 almost never graduate.

McVeigh said maybe the whole story isn’t being told and there may be a teacher’s assistant in those larg-er classrooms. “We need an update on how big classes are being sup-ported,” said McVeigh.

The district said it is working on balancing out the large classes, but in the case of DW Poppy, there is only one pre-calculus course offered at the school, so that is why it is so full. Under fairly new legisla-tion, teachers are financially com-pensated when classrooms exceed 30 students.

Quality of education questioned

Funds to improve adult literacy here

Aldergrove Star

The provincial govern-ment is granting $27,404 to Encompass Support Services Society to provide Langley residents with the literacy skills they need to participate in B.C.’s grow-ing economy.

Funding is distributed to non-profit community groups to offer free literacy training that is easily acces-sible in local places such as schools, Aboriginal friend-ship centres and commu-nity centres. The program is tailored to suit the needs of any adult with low-liter-acy ability, and is delivered by trained volunteers offer-ing one-to-one tutoring or small-group classes.

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s View

Aldergrove Star

Imagine hold-ing your child’s hand when all of a sudden, their eyes go blank.

The machines they are connected to begins to beep inces-santly and doctors and nurses quickly jump into action.

That is what Karm and Gary Ahuja faced on Oct. 18, 2010.

Their daughter Maya — just four months of age — had undergone open-heart surgery to repair a hole in her heart and was in the recovery room at B.C. Children’s Hospital.

Surgery had gone well the doctors said, so the parents were beside their daughter when she suddenly flat-lined.

The doctors and nurses were able to revive Maya and she spent the next week in a drug-induced coma, hooked up to a heart and lung machine.

Thankfully, Maya was saved.

She did face some health challenges the past few years, and still needs another heart surgery to cor-rect a second hole they discovered dur-ing the initial opera-tion.

But her fam-ily has not forgotten

just how much B.C. Children’s Hospital helped save their little girl and thousands of others from across the province.

They formed Team Miracle Maya in 2013 with a goal of raising $100,000 for the B.C. Children’s Hospital, as a way of saying thanks.

In two years, Team Miracle Maya has managed to raise close to $33,000.

“We are lucky we live somewhere where we have access to this life-saving care,” Gary Ahuja said.

“Without this care, who knows what may have hap-pened to Maya.

“This is our way of saying ‘thank you’ for all the work the doctors and nurses do at B.C. Children’s Hospital.”

The majority of

the money comes from the team’s annu-al gala fundraiser and this year’s event will be held Saturday, Nov. 7 at Surrey’s Bombay Banquet Hall.

The event, which is presented by CabinetBed Inc. and Black Press, is a Diwali theme this year. Diwali is a fes-tival of lights held each autumn and celebrates new begin-nings and the tri-umph of good over evil and light over darkness.

The family-friend-ly evening begins at 6 p.m. and will feature a photo booth, silent auction, 50/50 draw and raffle prizes, as well as a toonie toss.

The menu is a gourmet Indian buf-fet dinner.

Tickets are $50 or $360 for a table of eight, with a portion of that eligible for a tax receipt.

Kids 10 and under are free, and ages 11 to 17 are $25.

For tickets, please call 604-613-5242 or email garyahuja@hotmail.com.

Tickets will not be available at the door.

What’s in store for us?Editor:I do not envy prime minister elect Justin Trudeau. No siree, I defi-

nitely do not. But I suspect that he is still blissfully unaware of what he and his Socialist-Liberal party (yes, our new federal government might as well be known by its true functional name) have set in mo-tion. Sure, they have five years ahead of them, and a lot can happen in five years time. Who knows, they may even live to regret the day they took office and broke down the door to the candy shop.

Let us take a look at the crystal ball.If they go ahead with the promised hike to the taxes imposed on

the higher income segment it will precipitate a migration out of the country by intellectuals and professionals who will find greener grass abroad. But yes, the government may succeed in fulfilling their promise to ‘put more money into the pockets’ of the lower and middle income people, at least for a while. That is perhaps on the positive side of the ledger. But then there is the negative side and that will be massive.

First of all, the dollar which has for quite some time been hover-ing around the 75-cent mark will slump further, perhaps settling at the 62-64 cent level before slipping even lower. The stock market indexes will follow any wild downward spiral.

And at the same time inflation will take off, the cost of living index will wind upwards with huge increases in the cost of the bare essen-tials of living such as groceries, rents, hydro and heat. Meanwhile, printing presses at the Canadian Mint will be running overtime.

All the while there will be a clamouring of demands for a sharing of the spoils by various groups. Led by Quebec, of course, where or what else? Closely followed by the federal mandarins, top level bureaucrats and diverse political hangers-on. The unions will insist on their bite as well, and finally the average citizen when it starts dawning on him that he has been flimflammed by his elected lead-ers. More money in pocket, yes, but worth far less.

Will Trudeau be able to cope with all of this? Perhaps even throw in an added ‘October Crisis’? Who has he got to help him? Ah yes, perhaps Jean Chretien. Not going to be an easy task for the old man. But then, perhaps they won’t. Election promises have been histori-cally known to fall by the wayside once a government settles in. We shall see.

A seventh century BC sage had this to say: ‘We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office’. Never were truer words spoken.

Rudy Langmann, Aldergrove

Cadets thankful to allEditor:On behalf of the 746 Lightning Hawk Royal Canadian Air Cadet

Squadron, we would like to extend our sincere appreciation to the community. We recently held our biannual fundraising “Tag Day” activity and Aldergrove businesses and citizens were very support-ive and generous toward our cadets.

The Squadron currently has over 150 cadets in the program between the ages of 12 and 18. Activities in which our cadets par-ticipate include community service, assisting the Legion with their poppy sales, Remembrance Day Services, physical fitness, drill training, field training survival exercises, flight programs, and music, to name a few. Fundraising offsets the costs of the program not cov-ered by the Department of National Defence.

We are very proud of the leadership and citizenship of our air ca-dets and we thank the community for helping our cadets to achieve their goals.

Bruce Foster, Chair, 746 RCACS Lightning Hawk Sponsor Committee

Great experience, serviceEditor:My sons and I have been redoing our 1966 Ford Mustang and ran

into a glitch the other day when we were working on our exhaust system. We were having a problem fitting our mufflers to the exist-ing pipe so after a fair bit of monkeying around I thought we had better reach out to the pros. I went over to see Scott at Midas Muf-flerabout my exhaust issue and in less than 20 minutes he had not only solved my problem but he had me out the door with the new parts in hand. Scott and his crew over at Midas have always been professional and courteous, they always take the time to service their customers and they continually support minor sports and other various community groups.

I find too often that we are quick to point out the negative around us and forget to pass along the “feel good” stories.

The Fraser Valley Symphony presents its first concert of the 2015-16 season featuring Andrew Greenwood, baritone from Maple Ridge, on November 15.

Returning for his third engagement with the symphony, Greenwood has enjoyed a dual career as both a firefighter with the City of Vancouver and an opera singer.

Greenwood’s rich, resonant tone will fill the orchestra hall as he sings the great “Toreador Aria” from Carmen and a variety of sea-sonal songs including “Oh Holy Night” and “Gesu Bambino, Carol of the Drum”.

The audience will also be invited to sing along to “For Unto Us A Child is Born” from The Messiah,

with the FVS accompanying.The young baritone’s voice has

a seductive texture. His “focused but nevertheless round sound had sufficient power and at the same time creamy elegance,” said a review of his per-formance in Aida in 2011.

Greenwood has per-formed in operas in Canada, Switzerland, Spain, Germany, and the Czech Republic and is also in demand as a concert and oratorio singer.

Now in its 32nd year, the Fraser Valley Symphony is the premier community orchestra of the region. Lindsay Mellor is conductor.

Concert will be held at Matsqui

Centennial Auditorium, 32315 South Fraser Way in Abbotsford, on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 3 p.m. Doors

open at 2:30 p.m.Tickets are $ 20

adults, $15 Seniors/Students and $5 for children aged 12 & under.

Purchase your tick-ets early to avoid dis-appointment as this concert is sure to sell out.Tickets are avail-

able online now at www.fraserval-leysymphony.org, Kings Music, Tourism Abbotsford Visitor Centre (Abbotsford), Black Bond Books (Mission). Tickets sold at the door, if available. For information visit www.fraservalleysymphony.org or call 604-744-9110.

By DOUG HADLEYAldergrove Star

As Remembrance Day approaches this is the time of year when we all pause to remember those who served and continue to serve our country.

It is when we pin on a Poppy in Remembrance of those who have sacrificed past, present and future. As each year passes we remember important dates in Canadian military history and 2016 is no different as 10 years ago in Afghanistan Operation Medusa took place.

A Canadian-led offensive to establish Afghan government control over an area of Kandahar Province centered on the town of Panjwayi some 30 km west of Kandahar city. A tactical victory, however, it resulted in the deaths of 12 Canadian soldiers.

Canada has earned a world renowned reputation of punch-ing well above its weight; from the Canadian Corps in the battles of the First World War through to the more recent his-tory and the military operations that the men and women of today’s Canadian Armed Forces have found themselves in.

It is our duty as Canadians to always Remember their sacri-fices.

We as Canadians must also Remember and uphold our country’s sacred obligation

to care for veterans and their dependents throughout their lives, maintaining a quality of life that is worthy of their sacrifices that they have made for Canada.

In Canada, the Poppy has stood as a visual symbol of our Remembrance since 1921. However, its presence over the graves of soldiers, and in the fields of honour, was noted as early as the 19th century after the Napoleonic Wars.

The reason for its adop-tion over 100 years later in Canada was due to, in no small part, Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae and his now famous poem, “In Flanders Fields”.

The Poppy has stood as a symbol of Remembrance, our visual pledge to never forget those Canadians who have fallen in war and military operations.

The Poppy also serves as a

symbol of unity for those who recognize the sacrifices that were made for their freedom, and it forges a bond between people of all ages, not only within Canada, but around the world.

Funds from the Poppy Campaign are placed in trust to be used for the care and benevolent support of Veterans and their dependants. Through these Poppy Fund donations, the Legion provides financial assistance to serving and former Canadian Armed Forces mem-bers and their dependants who are in need.

Grants are available for food, heating costs, clothing, prescrip-tion medication, medical appli-ances and equipment, essential home repairs and emergency shelter or assistance. Comforts for Veterans and their surviving spouses who are hospitalized and

in need may also be provided. A portion of Poppy Funds

Sometimes the best things come in the smallest packages.

During World War One, Her Majesty Princess Mary decided to do something nice for all soldiers serving under the Commonwealth. In November 1914, she started the “Sailors and Soldiers Christmas Fund” to raise money so every Commonwealth soldier might receive a gift on Christmas day. Due to the fact that there were well over 2 mil-lion soldiers fighting for the Commonwealth, and a short-age on brass at the time, some did not receive their Christmas gifts until the fol-lowing year.

It is thought that between 300,000 to 400,000 brass gift tins were distributed in 1914 while a total of 2.5 million gift tins were distributed by the end of the war. Inside the brass gift tins everyone received a card and a photo of Her Majesty Princess Mary.

Smokers also received a pipe, a package of cigarettes, an ounce of tobacco and a tinder lighter. Non-smokers received a packet of acid tablets, a pencil made from a shell casing and a khaki writing case. Nurses received chocolate, while Indian troops enjoyed sweets and spices.

Almost 100 years later,

Robert Skellern of Rotura, New Zealand received one of these gift tins from a family in Wellington, New Zealand.

This particular tin con-tained something of deep personal significance, items far more valuable than tobacco and trinkets. Robert discovered a 1914-1915 Star, a British War Medal, and an Allied Victory Medal, items awarded to his great uncle Sydney Skellern for service in

the Gallipoli theatre. Robert proudly wore the

medals at the annual ANZAC day celebrations in New Zealand on April 25, 2015. This year on August 8, Robert and his wife Yvonne Skellern were in Chunuk Bair, Turkey, on the very spot where Robert’s great uncle fought and died in 1915.

“It is likely to be quite an emotional experience,”

Yvonne said during a visit to Langley last summer.

Robert and Yvonne Skellern, visiting from Rotura, New Zealand, popped into the Langley Centennial Museum on June 26, to share this remarkable story with curator Jasmine Moore and to explore some of the items from World War One in the museum’s col-lection.

Robert was delighted to discover similar medals and a Princess Mary gift tin in the collection of the Langley Centennial Museum. World War One had a profound

effect on all communities in Commonwealth countries, including Langley. It is esti-mated that one in 10 men who enlisted from Langley died in action, died of wounds, or per-ished from wartime disease.

While at the museum, Robert gifted two poppies from New Zealand to the Langley Centennial Museum, welcome additions that may appear in the upcoming exhib-it on World War One, set to open in April 2017.

The Langley Centennial Museum, located in the his-toric village of Fort Langley, is owned and operated by the

Township of Langley. The museum opened in 1958 and has 3,500 square feet of exhibi-tion galleries, including tem-porary displays on a variety of topics from art to history to science. The museum also has a well-stocked gift shop featur-ing unique items handcrafted by local artists.

After more than 50 years of offering exhibits, programs, and other cultural and heritage services, Langley Centennial Museum continues to grow and expand its role in the Township of Langley.

A self-motivated cross country runner is aiming for the provincial cham-pionships this Friday at Vancouver.

Weston Toppozini, 17, is in his final year at Aldergrove Secondary school, and as it turns out he is the only cross country runner remaining in the school’s track and field program.

“Ms. Durant is my track coach at the school but I have been mostly training on my own time,” said Toppozini.

He had been train-ing with the Langley Mustangs track and field club but the costs were too high so he “had to quit” and go on his own program.

He has done quite well, however, as he fin-

ished in the top 40 out of a field of 200 senior high school boys at the qualifying event held last Wednesday, Oct. 21, at Crescent Park.

“It was very slippery in the mud and some of the guys who have beat me before didn’t even finish the race this time. I came 39th, so I am quali-fied for the final race,” said Toppozini.

The B.C. high school 5-kilometre champion-ship is set for Friday, Nov. 6 at Jericho Beach.

When he returns from this event Toppozini is hoping the school will have a senior boys’ bas-ketball team this season for him to join.

He will also be com-peting in school track events, in which he enjoys the steeplechase and long jump.

The Aldergrove Kodiaks scored the first and only goal of the first period against Grandview Steelers on Sunday afternoon. However, it also proved to be their last goal of the day and the Steelers sealed a 5-1 win at Burnaby Winter Club.

The Kodiaks and Steelers were matched for shots on goal in the first period, with seven each, but the Steelers scored four consecutive power play goals before scoring their fifth goal in the dying minutes of the third.

The Steelers scored on four of ten power plays while the Kodiaks failed to notch one in three. The Steelers outshot the Kodiaks 36-20 in all.

The Kodiaks’ sole goal came from Matt Oliver at 12:18 in the first, assisted by Erik Bocale.

The result leaves the Kodiaks stalled in third place in the Harold Brittain conference

with 16 points after 16 games (7-7-0-1).HEART-BREAKER LOSS TO

MISSION OUTLAWSThe Aldergrove Kodiaks

took a heartbreaking double-overtime loss to the Mission City Outlaws on Wednesday, Oct. 28 at Aldergrove Arena.

The Kodiaks were up 2-0 halfway through the second period and had outshot the Outlaws consistently all night (44-30 in total) but had to set-tle for a single point that night for the overtime loss.

Kodiak Brandon Dolby opened the night’s scoring with the only power play goal in 10 chances (Mission failed to score on any of nine power plays). Dolby’s goal came at 8:02 in the second period, with assists from Erik Bocale and Elijah Vilio.

Towering new Kodiak for-ward Derian White added another to their tally a few seconds later for the 2-0 lead, assisted by Ivan Vilcauskas and Joshua Pollock.

Mission’s Mitchell Biermann closed the period’s scoring at 15:58, to bring the Kodiak lead down to 2-1.

Mission’s Brody Dyck caught Kodiak net minder Naythan Lange behind the net at 3:42 in the third to take the game into overtime.

Both teams enjoyed a power play in the first overtime’s four-on-four and Aldergrove peppered the Outlaws’ net with nine shots in the two overtimes, however, Mission’s Baylee Wright finally got the lucky shot in their second try, at 1:55 in the three-on-three, for the win.

Kodiak Bocale was named the game’s third star.

The Kodiaks host the Richmond Sockeyes on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 7:15 p.m., travel to MSA Arena to play the Pilots on Saturday, Nov. 7, 7:30 p.m., and host the Delta Ice Hawks on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 7:15 p.m. at Aldergrove Arena.

identifi ed Langley School District #35 as one of the Top 10 BC Hydro customers – and the Top Customer in the Education Sector – when it comes to the level of engagement in energy effi cient projects, Power Smart Program offerings and Energy Manager participation.

Senior Key Account Manager Wayne Cousins addressed the Board of Education and explained that Langley Schools earned ‘credits’ for the various activities listed above and when they were calculated, the District came out on top in its sector and top 10 in the province.

The Top 10 ranking comes with several

accolades, including a full-colour profi le of the Langley District activities in BC Business magazine. District Manager of Energy, Environment and Special Projects Karen Wagner was awarded a plaque in recognition of her work and Mr. Cousins went on to comment that a lot of the District success in the program has been “…largely due to the work of Karen and her team.”

James Kennedy Ins-PI-re Project Inspires Students

The Government of BC is supporting 17 Innovation Projects as selected by the Innovation Partnership Working Group and as a part of the K-12 Innovation Partnership and the Ins-PI-re Project at James Kennedy Elementary is one of those select few chosen for this year.

There were 77 projects submitted and being approved is a great honour for the students of James Kennedy and the Ins-PI-re leaders, Ann Pimental (Resource Teacher), Michelle Guillou (Principal) and Michele Gore (Gr 4/5 Teacher).

The James Kennedy Ins-PI-re Project is designed to inspire learners to be inventors through the use of Raspberry Pi, a mini computer designed to allow children to learn about coding.

Using the Raspberry Pi and Scratch, an introductory coding language for kids, students at JKE have been experimenting with a 'Tiddleybot' robotics kit to build a robot they

can control with an iPad.

Kids kindergarten to grade 7 have participated in presentations and experiments

with the project and have been inspired to learn hands-on with science, technology, education and math (STEM) outcomes. You can read more about this exciting project at www.sd35.bc.ca/news-events.

Tiddleybot helps students at James Kennedy learn coding.

DAN FERGUSON PHOTOAbout 30 participants of all ages — many of whom came dressed in their Halloween costumes — took part in the Great Pumpkin Little Pumpkin Fun Run on Sunday morning at Aldor Acres. The run featured a 1-km and 5-km option and was a fundraiser for the Meals on Wheels program. Enough money was raised to subsidize two seniors with a full year of meals. The top finisher in the 5-km distance was Langley’s Robert Durrant.

Aldergrove Star

This year’s Golden Gloves will take place at Langley’s Coast Convention Centre and will showcase some of the best fighters in B.C.

A much anticipated fight will be the rematch between Samuel Moses and Ken Huber. Samuel Moses of Vancouver’s Sargeant’s Boxing is ranked #1 in B.C. as both a Cruiserweight and Heavyweight. He will be taking on B.C. Cruiserweight and Heavyweight Champion Ken Huber of Kamloops.

Langley’s Amanda Pak will face former Canadian Champion Rosallia Calla of North Burnaby Boxing in a 118 lb. fight. Both boxers have been

matched before and for one reason or another have not fought. Calla won the Canadian WBC Championships in 2013 and is a veteran of the ring.

City Boxing’s Scott Woodward will be fight-ing Cody Sahlstrom of Island MMA in Victoria in a 140 lb. match.

Also from Victoria, twin brothers Paul and Peter Lopez will be in action. The Lopez twins have made an impression over the last couple of years and will be looking to add a Golden Gloves to their trophy chest.

Former B.C. Champion, White Rock’s Josh Wright of Ocean City Boxing, will take on one of the Lopez

brothers, the other will fight Qaeir Hamid of Vancouver’s Eastside Boxing

There will be 10 fights on the show at the Coast Convention Centre in

downtown Langley. It starts at 7:30 on Friday, Nov. 6. There is free park-ing and a bar and conces-sion. Tickets at the door $30; kids 12 and under admitted free of charge.

Remembrance Day.On Wednesday,

November 11 at 11am, radio and TV signals will stop. Shops and schools,

factories and farms will be still as silence sweeps across Canada like a wave.This is a time to think about war, about peace, and about those men and women

who risked their lives to protect our freedom and make the world a safer place. They fought for us, for our country, and for our future.Several Remembrance Day services have been organized throughout the community and Township of Langley Council encourages residents to attend, remember, and give thanks.

aaa Remembrance Day:Lest We ForgetWe must remember. If we do not, the sacrifi ces of those hundreds of thousands of Canadians will be meaningless. They died for us, for our homes, for our families, and our friends.

They gave of themselves for a collection of traditions

Canadians cherish, and a future we all believed in. They died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifi ce and their valour rests with

our collective national consciousness.
