Kodiaks on Four-Game Win Streak

By MONIQUE TAMMINGAAldergrove Star

Langley School District is putting its own touches on B.C.’s new curriculum, which is being rolled out for students in kindergarten to Grade 12 over the next cou-ple years.

It will focus on individu-alized, student-driven learn-ing in collaborative settings, as opposed to structured classrooms.

At the Langley board of education’s first meeting of the school year, on Sept. 29, assistant superintendent Gordon Stewart was excited about the new curriculum and how it will be imple-mented in Langley.

“The new curriculum does much better at engaging students,” said Stewart, who has been a principal at sev-eral Langley schools.

“Right-brained learners haven’t been ignored in the school system, but they have been marginalized.”

B.C.’s new curriculum is designed to allow right-brained thinkers to excel.

The argument for chang-ing how teachers teach and how curriculum is delivered is based on the province’s belief that schools need to graduate students who are ready for the new global economy.

“Don’t worry, we aren’t going to ignore the left-brained learners,” said Stewart.

“But our children have to be prepared for the global

economy so they can focus on sets of skills that will help them be successful.”

He said the future belongs to creators, inventors, entre-preneurs, big-picture think-ers and people who can work collaboratively in business markets all over the world.

Gone will be students sit-ting in rows of desks, with a teacher lecturing from the front of the room.

Memorization tests will become part of the past as will textbook learning, all of it to be replaced by research-driven schoolwork.

“We aren’t abandoning literacy and numeracy, but we are supporting a deeper learning,” he said. Students will still write provincial exams but how those tests will be delivered and graded may be different.

A proposal to hook houses into the municipal water system along 244 Street and 56 Avenue has pitted neighbour against neighbour.

On one side are the customers of a private water supplier who hope to avoid a tenfold increase in their monthly bills, while on the other are people with their own wells who don’t feel they should be forced into connecting.

For about 42 years, 19 properties have been supplied by Nectar Waterworks Ltd., which pumps water from a well.

Nectar currently charges each home

$35 a month for the service.In July, the company obtained an order

from the provincial deputy comptroller of water rights to raise the rate to $354 a month, phased in over three years.

Most of that, $301, is for a replace-ment reserve trust fund to cover the cost of replacing the aging pipes, which are nearing the end of their 50-year service life.

Aldergrove Star n e w s

trict has done away with report cards for elementa-ry-aged students, instead going with a student/teacher/parent participa-tion model in which they set goals for the year.

Not all trustees were as enthusiastic about the new curriculum as Stewart. Trustee Megan Dykeman is worried B.C. Grade 12 students will be at a disadvantage if they want to go to university out of province or coun-try.

“I don’t think hand-ing in a report with four smiley faces on it will translate well for stu-dents wanting to get into university in other coun-tries,” quipped Dykeman.

But Stewart argued that the portfolio model of graduation is becom-ing the norm globally, and percentage-based grading is not a true reflection of a student’s skills.

Trustee Shelly Colburn worried that to be successful, the new curriculum requires par-ent participation.

“There aren’t always parents in the picture. Then what for those stu-dents?” she asked.

Stewart said those stu-dents are in the system right now under the for-mer curriculum so they already have supports in place.

The province has allot-ted time this year to train teachers to deliver the new curriculum.

DAN FERGUSON PHOTO244 Street neighbours Jim Ward, Anna Ward, Ian Wightman and Steve Up-ton applied for a connection to the Township water system after the private water company that serves them got approval to raise their fees from $35 to $354 a month in order to modernize its 42-year-old system.

Charlie Fox and Kim Richter and Ramin Seifi, the Township general manager of community development and engineer-ing, a group of residents has launched a petition to have municipal waterlines installed.

“(The company) left us between a rock and a hard place,” said one of the residents, Ian Wightman.

The hookup would affect 35 resi-dents, slightly more than half of them Nectar subscribers, while the others have their own wells.

Under Township regulations, if more than half the property owners vote for the connection, all property owners will have to pay.

Peter Walton said he is sympathetic

to the situation of the Nectar subscrib-ers, but believes their plan is unfair to the 16 properties like his, which have their own wells and don’t have to rely on either Nectar or the Township.

“I’m against it,” Walton told Wightman outside the open house.

“I need to be convinced otherwise.”Walton estimates he would have to

pay $20,000 (payable in installments over 20 years) plus the cost of connec-tion and capping his well for a water sys-tem he doesn’t need.

A Sept. 21 open house held by Township staff found enough support to justify a formal survey of affected prop-erty owners. Supporters of the plan have 60 days to canvass the neighbourhood for signatures.

Residents ‘between rock and hard place’ for water

Local farming groups have expressed relief as a landmark trade deal between Canada, the United States and 10 other Pacific Rim coun-tries appears to have left the current supply man-agement system in place.

The Fraser Valley is home to the major-ity of British Columbia’s dairy, poultry and egg farms, and prior to the announcement Monday morning of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), producers had voiced concerns that it would do away with the supply management sys-tem, which limits access to the country’s dairy and poultry markets.

But Trade Minister and Abbotsford MP Ed Fast said Monday the agreement will protect the country’s poultry and dairy farmers from inter-national competition. And farmers’ representa-tives in the Fraser Valley say there has been relief as details of the agreement come out.

“On supply manage-ment we have been suc-cessful on protecting the three key pillars of sup-

ply management, being production controls, price controls and import controls,” Fast said. “We do believe the outcome is one that very much reflects Canada’s long-term interests and will provide the supply-man-aged sector with a bright future.”

Canada will allow some imports under the deal, but they will be lim-ited to a fraction of the country’s total produc-tion. The TPP will allow imports comprising about 3.25 per cent of dairy pro-duction, 2.3 per cent of egg production, 2.1 per cent of chicken produc-tion and two per cent of turkey production.

Farmers will also receive some $4.3 billion over 15 years in income and quota guarantees from the federal govern-ment, and there will also be a $450 million pro-gram to improve process-ing facilities.

Ray Nickel, with the BC Poultry Association, suggested the deal was as good as farmers could hope for, even if it could pose a challenge.

“Obviously, nobody in my business welcomes the fact that there’s going

to be more access without any conditions,” he said. “Anytime there’s increased access, it puts pressure on our prices.”

Beyond that, Nickel called the agreement, “a good deal for all involved,” and said he was impressed with the ability of the gov-ernment to maintain sup-ply management.

Dwight Yochim, the executive director of the Abbotsford-based BC Egg Marketing Board, said the deal “is almost a sigh of relief because it could have been a lot worse.”

“At the end of the day, for egg farmers in B.C., I think we might be able to weather this and come out the other side without a significant impact.”

A press release issued Monday by the BC Dairy Association suggested ambivalence on the part

of producers.“While [we] advocat-

ed for no additional access to the Canadian dairy market, we respect that additional access was a favourable outcome under the circumstances,” the association said.

Its president, Dave Taylor, said, “It’s a step backwards to lose market share and ultimately lose cows from our system. There is, however, less anxiety today knowing that supply management is going to be sustainable for future generations – for that, we are grateful.”

However, Garry Fehr, the director of UFV’s Agriculture Centre of Excellence, said the deal will force farms to mod-ernize to keep up with global competitors. While some have already taken those steps, newer, less-

established farms may find themselves playing catch-up.

“Those larger dairy farms that have already invested will probably be fine. It’s the smaller farms that don’t have the capi-tal, especially the newer entrants, that are really going to struggle because they don’t have the cash. They bought into a sys-tem that they thought was stable, and now they don’t know what they’re dealing with and they don’t neces-sarily have the capital to invest.”

Fehr said the small quotas are unlikely to sig-nificantly affect prices, but that the government pro-gram for farmers – most of which is meant to make up for financial losses – will cost taxpayers.

The hope among farm-ers, Fehr said, will be that Canada can increase its exports to other TPP countries.

“I think that’s the fear in that we don’t know if that’s the first bit of ero-sion in the supply man-agement system: Is it indicative of what’s com-ing, or will we sit here for 10 years and re-negotiate again?”

The agreement

must still be ratified by Parliament, and the trade pact may become a major issue in the federal elec-tion as voters head to the polls in less than two weeks.

The Conservatives have trumpeted their record on free-trade deals; the Liberals say they generally support free trade, but will look at the details of the agreement; and NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has recently sug-gested he may not back the agreement if his party controls Parliament. And Green Party leader Elizabeth May accused the government of “dou-ble-crossing” farmers.

Among Fast’s oppo-nents in the Abbotsford riding, NDP candidate Jen Martel said, “I’m deeply concerned that conces-sions will be made that will have a devastating impact on local farmers and any supply-managed industries in agriculture.”

Green candidate Stephen Fowler said, “The TPP has been negotiated in a closed, secretive and undemocratic manner.”

Liberal Peter Njenga has not returned inter-view requests.

North Otter School FamiliesCommunity comes together for children’s playground

Who’s who

Kimberlly Akrainetz of Super Save Gas (seated, holding photo, with her chil-dren seated beside her) received special recognition from North Otter Elemen-tary school for Super Save’s donation of $18,000 toward the new playground equipment at the school.

North Otter Elementary’s Parents Ad-visory Council president Natalie Frank-lin (top left) and vice president Laura Tatarov unveiled a park bench at the playground, inscribed with a dedication to the Super Save company.

The playground’s official opening cer-emony on Sept. 25 also paid tribute to the other contributors to the $85,000 project at the school.

In addition to the school families who

contributed what they could to the proj-ect, the donors included the Nelson family in memory of the late Coleton Nelson, Milt Kruger of On Line Col-lision (who contributed $15,000), JD Farms (which contributed $5,000) and the Aldergrove and Langley Central Ro-tary Clubs (which contributed a total of $10,000). Rempel Brothers Concrete also donated delivery of free concrete to enable installation of footings for the new playground equipment.

The installation of the new equipment was performed by several dozen vol-unteers, including school families and Township fire fighters a month previous, just prior to the school’s opening for the new school year.

A Langley dad once dubbed the ‘Dr. Frankenstein’ of weap-ons pleaded guilty to dozens of weapons-related charges during in Supreme Court on Monday.

Bradley Michael Friesen’s trial began in New Westminster on Sept. 28, where he was facing 47 firearm and gun trafficking related charges.

His lawyer then indicated that the alleged gun maker would be entering a guilty plea. Friesen, 38, appeared next on Oct. 5. A pre-sentence report has been ordered for later date.

He has been in custody since his arrest last year.

On the morning of July 17, 2014, Friesen was arrested while he was with his five-year-old son at a campground in Osoyoos.

Numerous firearms and ille-gal firearms-related devices were seized from Friesen’s van at the campground. Many of the weap-ons found in the van were stashed underneath a booster seat in which Friesen’s young son was seated,

police alleged at a press conference called shortly after his arrest.

Officers from the Tucson, Ariz. office of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives called RCMP to tell them they had been investigating Friesen for sell-ing Glock switches, silencers and gun parts via the internet.

A joint Combined Forces

Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. (CFSEU-BC) and U.S. investiga-tion began, resulting in investiga-tors conducting surveillance of Friesen.

“It did not take long before he was observed mailing packages of parts and silencers to addresses in Canada, the U.S., and Australia,” said CFSEU-BC’s Sgt. Linsday Houghton at the press conference at RCMP headquarters.

Police also observed the man visiting a Walnut Grove home on 95A Avenue, which officers sus-pected of being a workshop for making silencers and gun parts.

Investigators obtained search warrants for his residence in the 21000-block of 95A Avenue, his pickup truck, his workshop on another property on 95A and his van and tent at the campground. Friesen rented two properties on 95A Avenue.

It’s unclear if the U.S. plans to try him as well. Last year, a pros-ecutor started the process to send him south, but since then, Friesen’s trial date was set in Canada.

‘Dr. Frankenstein’ of weapons pleads guilty

The Township of Langley and the City of Langley will offer their first joint Household Hazardous Waste Plus Recycling Event to pro-vide all of Langley’s resi-dents a convenient site to dispose of hazardous waste that can be danger-ous to people and the sur-rounding environment.

The annual drive-through, drop-off event will take place on Saturday, October 17, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, October 18, 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the Township’s Operations Centre, 4700 – 224 Street.

Acceptable materials may be dropped off for free and proof of resi-dency in the Township or City is required.

“Last year, just over 41 tonnes of waste was collected from over 800 vehicles, including nearly 24 tonnes of household hazardous waste, two tonnes of batteries, 10 tonnes of paint prod-ucts, and two tonnes of pesticides,” said Debbie Fleming, solid waste coordinator with the Township of Langley. “Small appliances and electronics were also col-lected, meaning another three tonnes of waste was diverted from the land-fill.”

“We are so pleased to be partnering with the City of Langley and making sure even more potentially harmful prod-ucts are disposed of in an environmentally respon-sible manner,” Fleming said. “This is also a great opportunity to educate the public on the impor-tance of waste reduction and how to properly dis-pose of these items.”

Kara Jefford, man-ager of engineering at the City of Langley, said, “The City of Langley is pleased to participate

in this year’s household hazardous waste event. We encourage residents to take advantage of this program to dispose of hazardous waste effi-ciently and effectively, while using the most environmentally-friendly methods.”

Items that can be dropped off include anti-freeze, bleach, fluorescent lights, motor oil, oven cleaner, paint thinner, pesticides, empty fuel tanks, swimming pool chemicals, and turpen-tine. Electronics, small

appliances, mercury thermostats, and smoke detectors will also be collected. For a com-plete list of items that will be accepted, visit the Township of Langley’s website at tol.ca/hhw.

While the munici-palities are pleased to offer the Household Hazardous Waste Plus Recycling Event, Fleming reminds residents they do not have to wait for the event to dispose of many items, as they can be dropped off at various facilities any time of the

year. Visit rcbc.ca/recy-clepedia.

The Household Hazardous Waste Plus Recycling event is Langley’s kick-off to Canada’s Waste Reduction Week, which runs October 19 to 25 to raise awareness of the environmental and eco-nomic issues associated with waste management.

Residents coming out to the event are also encouraged to bring a non-perishable food item for donation to the Langley Food Bank.

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s View

By MARK RUSHTONAldergrove Star

Unpretentious, rather than humble, is about the best word I can come up with to describe Chris Hadfield.

He is a man who spent more than half a year in space, has flown on three missions beyond our atmosphere, is the first Canadian to walk in space, and commanded the International Space Station. And those are but a few of his incredible accomplishments.

Yet to hear him speak about his experiences is to lis-ten to a man describing what seem to be almost ordinary, though other-worldly, events.

He is, beyond a doubt, one of the most classy and captivating speakers I have ever had the privilege to lis-ten to. Despite all the time in space, Chris Hadfield is about as down-to-earth as you can get.

Describing the landing and extraction from the cap-sule that carried him back to Earth, and the effect on his body and brain from the re-entry, he said, “All you want to do is puke, but the guys helping you out want to talk, so you talk, then you puke.”

He also drew smiles and chuckles from the audience at Abbotsford Centre last Saturday night when he told of the violent shaking astro-nauts experience in the first two minutes of liftoff, when the booster rockets propel them from zero to thousands of miles an hour, then the

almost serenity of travel as the space shuttle separates on the final leg of the journey to the ISS.

Though he is a colonel in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and from his first glid-er flight as a kid has flown 70 different types of aircraft, Hadfield was actually a civil-ian, though a member of the Canadian Space Agency, when he commanded the International Space Station, having retired from the mili-tary some years prior.

And not only has he orbited the earth thousands of times in the ISS and space capsules, he has gone round our globe 10 times as his own “heavenly body” during the two times he spent on space walks outside the station.

He brought forth a few chuckles when he said, while walking in space, he actu-ally let go of the space station framework for a few seconds, just to see what it was like to be truly free of the bonds of Earth and man.

One of Chris Hadfield’s greatest accomplishments, however, has been his abil-ity to bring the appreciation of space to the masses. His use of social media, his pho-tographs from space, and the recording of David Bowie’s “Space Oddity” that captured the world have made him per-haps the most recognized and renowned astronaut of the modern era.

His description of holding a guitar in the weightlessness

of space was entertaining, as was the mention of the slight rewriting of Bowie’s song (with his permission, of course) – “The astronaut died in the original version. Couldn’t have that!”

An interesting aside to the song was that Hadfield had requested that NASA in Texas provide a guitar for the space station. Oddly enough, what was provided was a small instrument made right here on the Lower Mainland of British Columbia!

Couple that with the Canadarm developed in Richmond, Hadfield’s basic military training done in Chilliwack and his first uni-versity experience at Royal Roads in Victoria, our prov-ince has played a prominent role in the exploration of space. Now in retirement from the military and CSA, Hadfield lives in Victoria with his family.

What led him to become Canada’s most celebrated astronaut? He was nine years old when in 1969 he watched the first men walk on the moon and determined then that he wanted to go into space.

Set a goal, he said, and do everything you can towards achieving it.

He did just that, and the world, and space, is a better place because of that nine-year-old’s determination to succeed where few have gone [email protected]

Sky-high accomplishments of a down-to-earth man

Be sure to have your sayEditor:In October, three interactive, drop-in Open Houses will be held

by the Mayor’s Standing Committee on Public Engagement to gather information on how people want to be engaged during planning and development processes.

We are asking everyone who has an interest in how our commu-nity develops to attend, because every opinion counts. The input you provide now will have an impact on our community’s future.

People have different ideas about how our neighbourhoods should grow and develop and we want to be sure there is strong two-way communication between the Township and residents regarding these important issues. Not everyone will agree with the decisions Council makes, but it is imperative to us that everyone has a chance to express their opinions and feel that they have been heard.

To do that, we want to be sure we are connecting and commu-nicating with the public in the way that works best for them. The Township already provides several opportunities for public input- such as charrettes, open houses, and public hearings - but we want to know if there are different and better ways to gather people’s viewpoints.

That is why we need to hear from you. On behalf of the Public Engagement Committee and Township Council, I am asking everyone in the community who is interested in development and how our community is growing to come out to have your say.

Please make a point of attending one of the Open Houses and tell us how you want to interact with the Township. The drop-in sessions will feature interactive stations, voting games, a dialogue circle, and a visioning wall so that people can provide input in a va-riety of fun, interesting ways. Whether you stay for a few minutes or several hours, stop in and make your opinion count.

The information collected will help form a new engagement policy, guidelines, and suggested tools for development processes and policies that will be presented to Council for consideration later this year.

The Public Engagement Open Houses will be held Tuesday, Oct. 20, 5 - 9 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre; Thursday, Oct. 22, 5- 9 p.m., at the Aldergrove Kinsmen Community Centre; and Satur-day, Oct. 24, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. at George Preston Recreation Centre. See you there!

Mayor Jack Froese, Township of Langley

Taking a stand on climateEditor:I want my vote in this election to stand strong on the issue of

climate change and our urgent need to protect our environment. I want my grandchildren to experience clean air and water so that they are able to enjoy the benefits of living in the best country in the world. We have to be tough and put the quality of our life before economic greed. We need our government to take the appropriate actions and create environmental laws that protect our environment. Most importantly, our government must hold those accountable who deliberately destroy our environment by imposing more than fines.I want better protection of our natural resources. I want us to leave an environmental legacy for future generations. We can elect a government that represents our collec-tive voice.

Kim Bucholtz, Aldergrove

Can we help the refugees?Editor:As I watch the news I see thousands of Syrian refuges moving

across Europe and I see many groups of healthy young men among them. This begs the question, why are these young men not in the Syrian army helping to defend their country? If they are allowed to emigrate into Canada will they help defend their new home if the need shall ever arise or will they high-tail it back to Syria?

The government sees these refuges as future taxpayers so they are prepared to overload our health care and welfare system for future tax income. Before you can tax people they must be em-ployed. At this time we are having a hard time employing our own young people and skilled workers. As the government spends money they don’t have all Canadians who worked and paid for our services will lose out as those services are bled dry.

Elderly Canadians now have to work two more years to get the pension. Our medical system is on its knees. Canada cannot af-ford the humanitarian effort as proposed.

VICTORIA – There was a flurry of excitement in the B.C. legisla-ture last week, as Delta South inde-pendent MLA Vicki Huntington released documents suggesting that a multinational manufacturing company continued to buy up B.C. farms for carbon offsets after they said last June they would stop.

False alarm, as it turns out. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick clarified that three more farms in the Peace and Cariboo region had indeed been bought, but the com-pany was merely following legal advice to close deals on farms that it had already agreed to purchase.

The company, British-based cleaning product and pharmaceuti-cal maker Reckitt Benckiser (RB) confirmed this. A company official reiterated that its program to buy farms and replant them with trees is suspended.

By the time the B.C. govern-ment became aware of this global public relations scheme, thanks to the work of NDP MLA Lana Popham and others, about 10,000 hectares of farmland was already planted with seedlings. RB initially said they were buying up aban-doned and unproductive farms, but local government officials disputed that.

RB soon realized that under-mining already precarious farming communities was going to provide the opposite of the green public-ity they sought, at least in B.C. The company told me it is now looking to switch its carbon offset program to replanting forest areas depleted

by pine beetle and fire.I’ll believe that when I see it, but

on the face of it, this sounds almost as questionable as converting farm-land back to forests. Pine forests need fire to regenerate, so fires have been part of the regeneration of the ecosystem since the retreat of the last Ice Age.

Beetle-kill areas are already coming back, and they were never completely denuded in any case, so the notion of manual planting these areas seems impractical. Most are now criss-crossed with deadfall and all but impassible.

Another situation that received little public attention was a report issued late this summer by the B.C. Forest Practices Board about forest stewardship plans.

The board reviewed 43 steward-ship plans from all regions of B.C., prepared as required under provin-cial law by forest tenure holders on Crown land. They are supposed to deal with things like where roads go and how streams are protected.

This is the management system put in place in 2003, when the B.C. Liberal government changed its approach to forest management. Gone was the NDP’s infamous sev-en-volume “Forest Practices Code,”

which attempted to micromanage every detail of a timber licence, right down to inspecting for litter left at a logging site.

In came “results-based” forest management, where licence hold-ers had to produce a plan showing stream protection and other val-ues. The Forest Practices Board has found these plans often aren’t good for much, although results are gen-erally good when they follow up with on-the-ground audits of actual timber harvest areas.

The investigation found that many of the plans cover “vast and overlapping areas of the province, and were written using legal lan-guage that makes them very dif-ficult for public understanding or review.” Little has changed since a similar finding in 2006.

During that time, the forests ministry was turned into Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, with greatly increased responsibility over wildlife, mining, gas drilling and so on.

Columbia River-Revelstoke MLA Norm Macdonald, who traveled the province as NDP for-ests critic in recent years, says the problem now is there just aren’t enough people on the ground to assess what’s going on in our huge expanse of Crown land.

Meanwhile the city media cov-ers professional protesters issuing demands about the Walbran Valley.

Seeing the forest and the trees

By MIRANDA GATHERCOLEAldergrove Star

Tammy Rose may not have had the pretti-est pumpkin at the Giant Pumpkin Weigh-off com-petition at Krause Berry Farm on Saturday, but its scars sparked curios-ity from both judges and spectators.

Large grooves cov-ered the top and sides of the 298-pound pumpkin, thanks to its summer-time neighbours — four horses and a goat. The animals spent the entire season trying to chomp down on the giant gourd, which Rose admits she

largely “forgot about” in the South Langley field.

The contest marked her first attempt at giant

pumpkin growing — she placed 13th out of 15 entries from across the Pacific Northwest.

Langley’s own Scott Carley won the competi-tion with a giant pumpkin weighing 1,411 pounds.

This is the second win in a couple weeks for Carley, a giant pump-kin hobbyist with his own website, www.giant pumpkinsbc.com.

On Sep 26, Carley’s giant pumpkin weighed in at 1,427.5 pounds and placed first out of 20 entries in Skagit Valley, Wash. He was close to the site record of 1,450 pounds and is heading to the U.S. again next week in hopes of breaking that world record.

Stars and scars: Giant Pumpkin crowned

It was a rough summer for Tammy Rose’s 298-pound pumpkin, thanks to four hungry horses and a goat.

By MIRANDA GATHERCOLEAldergrove Star

In 1986, Norman Rolston watched his aunt Maida, crippled with arthri-tis, push a kitchen chair across the floor as she tried to walk.

Watching his aunt strug-gle, Rolston got the idea that if he attached wheels to her chair, it would be easier for her to use.

Fastening an old shop-ping cart and a stroller together, Rolston made a walker for his aunt that she could use while shopping.

After her friends saw the invention, they all wanted one too, and soon Rolston couldn’t keep up with the orders.

He eventually designed a prototype and officially cre-ated the Able Walker.

Much different from other walkers available at the

time — which were often unsafe — the Able Walker had swivel castors on the wheels, supportive hand-holds and brakes.

Rolston then gifted the invention to the world by not patenting it.

Today, millions of people have relied on his walker to provide them with mobility and independence.

And for that, he was awarded a 2015 Order of British Columbia.

This is the highest form of recognition the province can give its citizens.

City council honoured Rolston, a Langley resident, during its Sept. 14 council meeting.

Council gave Roltson a standing ovation, and then presented a plaque while playing the song, Able Walker in the background.

“With our gratitude from

the citizens of the City of Langley and the commu-nity as a whole, thank you very much, and your fam-ily should be very proud of you,” City Mayor Ted Schaffer said to Rolston.

This is just one of many accolades he has received.

In 1993, he was awarded a Special Humanitarian Award, recognizing the pro-found effect the Able Walker has had on seniors’ freedom and independence.

The Los Angeles Times voted the Able Walker one of the “Top Ten International Inventions of the 1990s,” and recognized it as a device that improved the quality of life for all generations.

He has also had prior nominations for both the Order of B.C and the Order of Canada.

He has been baking his way into the hearts and stomachs of Cops for Cancer riders and sup-port staff for many years — fueling them with sandwiches and snacks from his Langley bakery.

Cedarbrook Bakery and Deli’s maple bacon doughnuts are said to be a rider favourite.

Const. Mark Peterse notes that not too many people can say they have been on both sides of the doughnut counter — as both a bakery owner and police officer.

He can add spandex to his list of uniforms, since

he embarked on an 800-km bike ride for the 2015 Cops for Cancer — Tour de Valley which ended Oct. 2.

They rode through Langley on Day 6, Tuesday, Sept. 29 with a stop at Peterse’s bakery in the afternoon.

Peterse is riding in mem-ory of Keian Blundell, a six-year-old Langley boy who died of cancer nearly two years ago. Keian’s name is written on Peterse’s bike

as a constant memory of why he is riding.

Keian’s parents Chantal and Ryan, along with their youngest son,

met with Peterse and the riders on Tuesday to wish them well and thank them for doing what they are doing.

Peterse is well acquaint-ed with the

preparation and training involved for the Tour, having trained to do the ride as an Auxiliary

Constable with the Langley RCMP in 2013.

But a phone call from Depot in Regina one week before the ride changed his plans.

Fast forward two years and he is getting his chance to ride as a mem-ber of the Surrey RCMP.

Growing up, Peterse lost his best friend to cancer. Ever since, he has been committed to raising funds for cancer research and support programs.

Juggling the shift work of general duty policing, family life, and bike train-ing isn’t always easy.

He credits his fellow

riders, support crew, colleagues, family and — most importantly — the kids undergoing cancer treatments, with helping him keep it all in perspec-tive.

“When I am strug-gling with those early mornings or pushing up a big hill on the bike, I remember the kids undergoing chemo and radiation who don’t com-plain,” says Peterse.

“Seeing their brav-ery, their resilience – I know I can do this ride to support treatment and a week at Camp Goodtimes to allow them to be kids again.”

Peterse was joined by 20 other riders, including

Langley officers, for the Tour de Valley which ran from Sept. 24 to Oct. 2.

In Langley, they stopped at six schools to speak with students.

“Mark and the team will visit over 40 schools and make almost 100 stops as ambassadors in the fight against cancer,” explained Allan Mugford, regional director for the Canadian Cancer Society Fraser Valley Region before the ride.

“The funds they raise go towards childhood cancer research and Camp Goodtimes, a place kids and families go to smile and connect with others facing the same struggles.”

Aldergrove Soccer Boys Start With Win

By KURT LANGMANNAldergrove Star

The Aldergrove Kodiaks are on a four-game win streak after defeating the Ridge Meadows Flames 3-1 Friday night (Oct. 9) at Planet Ice.

All of the scoring took place in the second period, with the Kodiaks notching three in a row before the Flames answered with their only goal.

The Kodiaks outshot the Flames 42-17 and out of eight power plays each, they scored the only power play goal.

First star went to Joshua Pollock for his two-point night and sec-ond star went to Dryden Wust for his goal.

Scorers for Aldergrove were Brandon Dolby, Wust and Spencer Unger, and assists came from Pollock (2), Davin Padgham, Chase Manderville, Erik Bocale and Eric Callegari.

The Kodiaks main-tain second place in the Harold Brittain confer-ence with 13 points after 10 games (6-3-0-1), six points behind leading Mission City Outlaws.

Abbotsford Pilots fol-low with 11 points, the Flames have nine points and the Langley Knights trail at five.

KODIAKS SHOOT DOWN PILOTS 4-2A last minute empty-

netter by Aldergrove Kodiaks’ Brandon Dolby ensured a 4-2 win for the hometown team over the visiting Abbotsford

Pilots, Wednesday, Oct. 7.

It was Dolby’s sec-ond goal of the night and earned him the game’s first star. Second star went to Kodiak Cameron Davitt for his two-point night, with a goal and an assist.

Kodiak keeper Dawson Rodin turned aside 18 of the Pilots’ 20

shots on goal, while the Kodiaks had 31 shots on the Pilots’ net.

The win put the Kodiaks firmly in sec-ond place in the Harold Brittain conference, with 11 points after nine games (5-3-0-1).

The Pilots opened the scoring in the second period, but the Kodiaks netted two before the end

of the prior and kept their lead throughout the rest of the game. Scorers were Erik Bocale on a power play and Dolby, with assists from Elijah Vilio, Davitt, Joshua Pollock and Matt Oliver.

Davitt put the Kodiaks up 3-1 early in the third period, assisted by Spencer Unger, before the Pilots scored their

second and final goal at the midway point. Dolby sealed the Kodiaks win with the unassisted emp-ty-netter at 19:09.

KODIAKS OCTOBER CALENDAR

The Kodiaks host North Vancouver Wolf Pack, Wednesday, Oct. 14 at Aldergrove Arena, at 7:15 p.m. and travel to Port Moody Arena

By KURT LANGMANNAldergrove Star

An Aldergrove racing family has ended the season with broth-ers Zackery and Jaden Medynski finishing in the top two quarter midget racing spots.

Racing in the senior Honda 120 cc class, the brothers fin-ished the season at Aldergrove’s Langley Quarter Midget Association’s track, first and sec-ond in total points.

Younger brother Jaden beat Zackery for the championship, held Sept. 26-27, by seven points in a field of 200 cars from west-ern Canada and USA.

Earlier in the season in May at the Little Wheels championship in Graham, Washington, Zackery had beaten Jaden in nine points races.

The brothers finished second and third, respectively, against 36 cars in their class.

Students at Aldergrove’s Shortreed elementary and Betty Gilbert middle schools, Zackery, 12, is in his fourth year of racing, while Jaden, 10, is in his third.

The duo has the full support

and encouragement of their rac-ing family, father and mother Ryan and Danielle Medynski. Ryan raced stock cars for 22 years before selling his cars to finance his sons’ quarter midget cars while Danielle has been raised in a racing family.

Quarter midget racing cars are approximately one quarter

the size of a full size midget car. The adult size midget raced dur-ing the start of quarter midget racing used an oval track of one-fifth of a mile in length.

The child’s quarter midget track is one-quarter of that length, or 1/20th mile. Most of the competitive classes run speeds near 45 miles per hour.

Current upper class quarter midgets can exceed 45 miles per hour, but remain safe due to the limited size of the track. The drivers are typically restricted to ages five to 16.

Tracks are typically banked ovals one-20th of a mile long, and have a surface of dirt, con-crete, or asphalt.

Racing siblings share winner’s podium
