Creating a ‘Wall of Lanterns’

Fleeing suspect held in 16 Ave. fatality Aldergrove Star

Youngsters Ava Bourgeois and Ailie Gray show off their pumpkin creations for the second annual Wall of Lantern in Aldergrove Saturday. More than 800 carved pumpkins were lit up that night and the nightly display continued through Halloween at All Seasons Garden Centre.

‘Wall’ brings out best in community By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

Despite a soaking downpour that just wouldn’t let up on Saturday Aldergrove’s second annual Wall of Lanterns event was a success, bringing out hundreds of people who helped raise $5,000 for

B.C. Children’s Hospital. People had to huddle under tents and umbrellas for the light-up ceremony shortly after 7 p.m., but still cheered wildly when over 800 carved pumpkins were lit up on the scaffolding set up at All Seasons Garden Centre on Fraser Highway.

It was the culmination of weeks of work for the band of volunteers, working with the Aldergrove Business Association, sponsors of the event. The day was filled with family oriented activities and entertainment, for visitors who each carved

a pumpkin for a $5 donation to the B.C. Children’s Hospital. There were prizes, bouncy castle, a rock climbing wall, live concerts, a kids’ activity tent, pony rides, hay rides and more. Performers included headliner Charlotte Diamond,

For the first time since its start-up in September, the Independent Investigation Office has been called to Langley, to investigate the circumstances around a fatal car crash on Monday night that may have been related to police activity. Langley Traffic Services was conducting an Automated Licence Plate Reader (ALPR) enforcement project along with speed enforcement, in the 24000-block of Zero Ave. At 5:30 p.m., officers were alerted by the ALPR to an approaching dark green pick-up truck. Officers attempted to stop the suspect vehicle, which fled the scene. Approximately three minutes later, a collision occurred at the intersection of 240 Street and 16 Avenue, three kilometres away. One of the three involved vehicles was the pickup truck that had fled from police. The driver of the suspect vehicle has been arrested and remains in custody. The male driver and lone occupant of the second vehicle was killed in the crash. The male driver of the third vehicle was uninjured. The IIO has taken conduct of this investigation to determine the circumstances that led to this fatality. The IIO was notified about the crash at 6:09 p.m., just over 30 minutes after the crash occurred. IIO staff were deployed to the scene, including investigators from the Specialized Forensic and Collision team, as well as the manager, affected persons. Preliminary investigative tasks included identifying any officer and civilian witnesses, ensuring the security of the scene and the notification of the next of kin. Any witnesses to this incident are asked to call the IIO Information Line at 1-855446-8477. The IIO and the Langley RCMP are expected to work co-operatively within the terms agreed upon in the Memorandum of Understanding that was signed by the Chief Civilian Director and B.C.’s police services in July 2012.

Metro picks incineration experts without FVRD input By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star

Fraser Valley politicians are outraged Metro Vancouver didn’t consult them when it hired a panel of third-party experts to help guide the controversial process of building a new waste-to-energy plant to burn Metro garbage. Opposition to a possible new in-region incinerator is fierce in the Fraser Valley Regional District, where air pollution from the Vancouver area concentrates, and reps there condemned Metro’s move to unilaterally pick most of the panel. “We are the recipients of their pollution,” FVRD vice-chair Patricia Ross said. “Yet I get the sense they see us as a pesky fly to be batted out of the way.” The two regions have dueled before over the science of incineration. FVRD reps criticized Metroenlisted experts as pro-incineration during public consultations leading up to the province’s 2011 approval of Metro’s solid waste plan to pursue new waste-to-energy capacity.

Ross also publicly feuded with Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall after he said he saw few health risks from waste incineration and Metro yanked grant funding from an air quality scientist who said it would be “stupid” to build more incinerators in the airshed. Ross isn’t yet calling the panelists biased but says Metro should have consulted the FVRD on the choice if it was serious about following the direction from B.C.’s environment minister to ensure Valley concerns are fairly considered. “I want to discover whether they have a bias,” Ross said. “What’s their past history? Have they worked closely with the industry?” Panelists hired by Metro so far are: waste-to-energy technical expert and professional engineer Jeremy O’Brien, who was nominated by the Solid Waste Association of North America; energy and sustainability expert Thomas Pedersen, who was nominated by and is executive director of the Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions; and air quality and health expert Michael Brauer, a professor

at UBC’s School of Population and Public Health and nominated by UBC’s Bridge Program. A fourth and final appointee with expertise in health impact assessment is still to be nominated by the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities. Red flags about the lack of FVRD input went up at Metro’s Oct. 26 board meeting, where Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt said he wanted the list of panelists run by Valley reps. “History shows we can bring in experts from all over the world and if they’re not respected as experts we’re going to hear nothing but complaints,” Hunt said. The board agreed to refer the panelist list for feedback, but not approval, to not just the FVRD but also other neighbouring regional districts and to the environment ministry. “I’m much more interested in whether the provincial government sees this as a fair panel,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “We want to be sure they are impartial and objective.” Metro also intends to invite

‘Bad idea’ arrives in the mail Aldergrove Star

The package that came in the mail was foul-smelling and dripping blood. In the climate of the high-profile Luka Magnotta case, in which body parts were sent by mail in the spring,

the recipient left the parcel, which was addressed to a family member, unopened, and called police. Abbotsford Police spokesman Const. Ian MacDonald said they were able to locate the sender – a senior family member from New-

FVRD reps to a future meeting of its zero waste committee to try to iron out differences over the waste-toenergy procurement process, which was approved by the board Friday. Extensive consultations have been promised as Metro aims to build new waste-fired capacity to burn an extra 370,000 tonnes of garbage per year by 2018 while it phases out its use of the Cache Creek regional landfill. Qualified proponents and their technologies are to be identified first and then Metro will seek potential sites – in and outside the region – that would later be matched with short-listed proponents. A winning bidder would be picked in early 2015 ahead of an environmental assessment and other permitting. Ross said it’s disappointing Metro doesn’t believe it needs FVRD approval on the expert panel. Nor does she believe alternative emerging waste-to-energy technologies like gasification or pyrolysis – advocated by some Metro directors – are necessarily cleaner or healthier. In a staff report, the FVRD criticizes Metro’s planned consultations,

arguing they would be too limited in scope, start too soon since decisions on sites and technologies are still years away, and would inappropriately lump the FVRD in with other regional districts with less at stake. It also says a proposed MetroFVRD working group on potential air quality impacts doesn’t go as far as the province requires. Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman said his city remains solidly against a new in-region incinerator and is concerned about how the process is unfolding so far. “Metro continues to be blatantly disrespectful and contrary to the rules they’ve been told to apply,” Banman said. “The minister should be very concerned.” Banman said Metro campaigns to protect farmland and food security yet fails to reject incineration based on the risk it poses if airborne toxins land on food crops. “They speak out of one side of their mouth on how they need to preserve farmland to feed ourselves in the future, yet this very action can put that in jeopardy.”

foundland. He had parcelled up some frozen moose meat, mackerel and scallops, and before mailing, wrote on the brown paper: “Keep frozen.” Into the mail it went. “You can file that under ‘bad idea,’ “ MacDonald noted.

Dix to speak at NDP nomination meeting Aldergrove Star

A rare battle for the NDP nomination in the Fort Langley-Aldergrove constituency is scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 4. Guest speaker at the meeting will be NDP leader Adrian Dix, who has made many visits to Langley since winning the NDP leadership in 2011. The meeting takes place at the Steelworkers’ Hall at #202, 9292 - 200 Street in Walnut Grove. Doors open at 1:30 p.m., with the meeting beginning at

2 p.m. The two contenders for the nomination have both run before against incumbent MLA Rich Coleman. Aldergrove resident Shane Dyson ran in 2005, while Gail Chaddock-Costello, current president of Langley Teachers Association, ran in 2009. The constituency currently has some 200 accredited members and organizers are expecting a good turnout is in the cards.

Warrant may result in legal action By KEVIN MILLS Aldergrove Star

Three members of the Abbotsford Police Department and two engineers representing the City of Abbotsford, arrived at Gene Drader’s property on Marsh McCormick Road last Friday morning. The city, having obtained a warrant, was there to examine’s Drader’s property in the West

Abbotsford area of Bradner. City officials would not comment on why they obtained the warrant or what they were looking for, but the incident likely related to 16 years of litigation between Drader and the city regarding Drader’s property. Drader has argued in court that the city diverted water onto his property, destabilizing the slope and causing landslides.

Recently he has been bringing in truckloads of fill to protect his property, but the city has issued stop work orders. The legal battle is ongoing and more litigation could occur, says Drader’s lawyer. “It is our position, on behalf of Mr. Drader, that the warrant was improperly obtained, it was unnecessary because he had already volunteered to allow

the City of Abbotsford to come back on his property, yet again – and people should know that they have already been on there more than 10 times – subject to very reasonable requirements of advance notice,” said Drader’s lawyer Delwen Stander. He said Drader is currently considering proceeding with more legal proceedings due to the warrant.

along with local talents such as the band Poppy and the Pistols and the Shannon Irish Dancers. ABA president Bruce Heslop thanked all the volunteers, including all of the ABA board members, “who make Aldergrove an excellent community to live in. Aldergrove rules!” In addition to ABA board members Jody Henderson, Janice Reid, Susan Glover, Ray and Rick Van Bugnum, and Constable Paul Walker, Heslop thanked RBC’s Karen Fox and computer whiz Bill Reid for their invaluable help. Ray Van Bugnum also praised Sam Weih, the handicapped person hired by the ABA to sweep Aldergrove’s streets, for his efforts. Both Weih and Councillor Charlie Fox shared the duties of flipping the switch to turn the lights on inside the jack o’lanterns. Coun. Fox also praised the ABA and All Seasons Garden Centre for “taking all this and next week to organize and host the community event, which continues nightly through Halloween, and Craig Anderson of The Source and Heath MacKenzie of Cranky’s Bike Shop for contributing so much to the event’s success. “It’s a very unique project,” said Fox, “with the profits going to B.C. Children’s Hospital to help young people like Sam Weih when they have unfortunate circumstances in their lives. That’s what we’re all about in Aldergrove — community.”

WHISTLER – B.C. Liberal delegates gathered for their convention on the weekend at the Chateau Whistler, the same luxury hotel where Gordon Campbell fired up the troops in 2008. Back then the advertising slogan was “Keep BC Strong.” Unveiled at Premier Christy Clark’s pre-election pep rally: “Together. Building BC.” This slight change hints at the big difference. Campbell led a front-running party to a third straight majority, while Clark is a struggling underdog pleading for unity to turn back an NDP tsunami. Hence “Free Enterprise Friday,” a discussion open to non-party members. Clark began with an upbeat speech urging party members to “reach out our arms, open the tent and be as big as we can possibly be.” So did they? Dashing between three concurrent sessions, I missed a fair amount of it, but there were some provocative suggestions to appeal to those inclined to support the resurgent B.C. Conservatives. An accountant spoke to a packed room about the growing unfunded liability of public sector pensions, most of which are still of the “defined benefit” variety. Based on bond interest rates that have since sunk to all-time lows, these government-guaranteed pensions are now a free ride for those lucky enough to have them, funded by the taxes of

Liberal renewal

private sector workers who in many cases have no pension plan at all. There was talk of passing a law that all new public sector hires be restricted to a “defined contribution” plan where the employee and employer contribute equally and the pension is based on what those contributions yield. This would provoke the mother of all confrontations with the B.C. Federation of Labour, but there was no evidence yet that this is going beyond the talking stage. The resolutions continued the theme of confronting the labour movement, ritual combat that seems to be an inescapable part of B.C. elections. Delegates passed two motions, one calling for public sector unions to disclose what they spend on salaries, political activities and lobbying, and another advocating a ban on unions spending compulsory dues on political campaigns. This is a pet project of Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, whose constituency sponsored both motions. Rustad presented a private member’s bill last year to require detailed disclosure, but it was left to die on the order paper. Like all the policy resolutions debated at the convention, these ideas are not binding on the government. Again, there is no actual change on the horizon.

Delegates rejected another motion that would have made membership in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation optional. This would have been a declaration of war on B.C.’s most militant union, just as Clark and Education Minister Don McRae embark on a long-shot bid to end the decades of confrontation that have defined that relationship since teachers were relegated to the industrial union model of labour relations. There was a brief debate on a motion to scrap the carbon tax, sponsored by northern members who see it as unfairly punitive on those who endure cold weather and long highway drives for themselves and the goods they need to have trucked in. This was rejected too, after delegates were reminded that the tax now takes in more than $1 billion annually that is used to reduce business and personal income taxes. Scrapping it would amount to announcing across-theboard income tax hikes, contradicting 12 years of B.C. Liberal policy just before an election. The good news for Clark is that the 2012 convention was a high-energy, well-attended event that contradicts the notion of a party in disarray. The bad news is, nothing has really changed. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Most people know it is not okay to litter and would feel guilty about leaving a piece of garbage on the ground. Others, however, seem to think the world is their junkyard and have no qualms about dumping motor homes, mattresses, fridges, sofas, and piles of drywall on public property. Not only are they creating expensive eyesores that cost thousands of taxpayers’ dollars to clean up, they may also be posing potential dangers to the community. To help ensure large items and hazardous goods are disposed of properly – and to hold those doing the illegal dumping responsible - residents are being asked to keep their eyes and ears open and report anything suspicious. “People need to be aware that this is costing them money,” said Bill Storie, Manager of Bylaws for the Township of Langley. “These are their tax dollars that go into cleaning these things up. Every dollar spent on items that are not properly disposed of is a dollar taken from elsewhere in the system.” “If you see an offender, take down their information and report it,” Storie said. He encourages witnesses to get a license plate number and a description of the vehicle and people involved and contact Bylaw Enforcement at 604.532.7551 during the day or the Langley RCMP at 604.532.3200 after hours. Over the summer, a tent trailer and a boat were abandoned in two separate incidents. Township employees had to pick the items up and dispose of them properly – which cost both money and staff time. “It’s definitely adding up,” said Greg Mayer of the Township’s Engineering Division. Each year more than 100 tonnes of illegally dumped garbage is retrieved by Township staff, resulting in over 500 trips to the dump. Each trip needs two crew members to lift and move the bulky objects, using up thousands of hours of staff time and costing over $10,000 in tipping fees at the transfer station annually. “There are other costly spins offs too, when crews are required to put in cement barriers or secure fencing to deter people from dumping in places such as right-of-ways and trails,” Mayer said. According to Township Safety Advisor Sandra Ciparis, many illegally dumped items left on roadsides, ditches, and dead end streets also pose health and safety issues for the Township staff who have to haul them away. People who have boats, trailers, and other unusable vehicles to dispose of can bring them to a metal or auto recycler, while mattresses are accepted at Recyc-Mattresses in Gloucester Industrial Estates for $15. “There is a cost involved, but people have to be responsible, otherwise taxpayers foot the burden,” Storie said. ”We need people to be more diligent.” Langley-based company New West Gypsum Recycling Inc. accepts tested, asbestos-free drywall at its New Westminster plant at 38 Vulcan Street.

Township to take second look at ‘scary’ intersection Aldergrove Star

Several months ago, Councillor Bob Long urged his Township council colleagues to support installing an overhead flashing red light at the intersection of Robertson Crescent and 256 Street, where a young Aldergrove hockey player was killed in February, 2011. Staff had already advised that based on traffic volumes, existing signage, visibility and collision history, new safety measures were not warranted. The intersection was left out of a report presented to council last month. Instead, staff recommended installing overhead

lights at the intersections of 232 Street and 56 Avenue, 40 Avenue and 216 Street, 56 Avenue and 240 Street, and 240 Street and Robertson Crescent. Long, Mayor Jack Froese and Councillor Kim Richter had earlier in the year expressed concern about the safety of Robertson Crescent and 256 Street, calling it “scary.” On Sept. 17, Richter commented that it is “an odd, uncomfortable intersection” with sight lines that are not good. “This is a very dangerous intersection and it needs lights,” she said. “You only have to drive

Semi, pickup collide Mission man wanted Aldergrove Star

The driver of a pickup truck involved in a collision with a semi has been ticketed for running a stop sign, according to Abbotsford Police. The crash took place at about 10 p.m. Monday, Oct. 22 at the intersection of Huntingdon and Lefeuvre roads in Abbotsford. Const. Ian MacDonald said a semi was travelling east on Huntingdon Road and collided with a Ford F-150 that was heading north on Lefeuvre. Stop signs at that intersection are located on the north and

south sides of Lefeuvre. The crash sent the two vehicles into ditches on opposite sides of Huntingdon. The semi hit a hydro pole, knocking out power to about 1,500 customers for several hours. The driver of the truck, a 27-year-old man from Langley, had to be extricated from his vehicle. He was complaining of a shoulder injury, was taken to hospital for assessment, and was released. The driver of the semi, a 32-year-old Abbotsford man, was not injured.

The challenge of forest protection Editor: Watchers of Langley Forests (WOLF) is a public interest and advocacy group that coalesced around the proposed sale of Glen Valley forested properties, commonly known as McLellan Park. WOLF was initially challenged by the mayor and council to raise the funds necessary to purchase the former Aldergrove School site when the westerly properties were taken off the market this summer. As of Oct. 1, WOLF was apprised of Township of Langley’s position regarding our earlier proposal to facilitate the purchase of the easterly forested lands, adjacent to Gray Pit. WOLF is pleased to have the opportunity to work along with council and staff in order to ensure that these rare and environmentally sensitive lands are protected for future generations to appreciate, while continuing the protection these forests provide as diverse wildlife habitat and benefits to the local aquifer. As outlined in a variety of submissions to council, these properties contain both mixed and coniferous forests estimated to be approximately 100 to 240 years old or more, and which contain rich wildlife habitat and watercourses.

They were identified as extremely environmentally sensitive in the Westwater Research Report commissioned by the Township of Langley in 1993. This report clearly recommends management guidelines to restrict residential development requiring septic disposal systems in order to protect groundwater quality and to support groundwater recharge. This report further advised that the existing forest vegetation be maintained and protected. The subsequent O’Connor engineering report commissioned by the Township in 2005 addressed issues such as the property’s environmental value, groundwater protection, protection of fishery habitat and the watershed, sensitive wildlife species, as well as other site specific environmental values. And finally, Professor David Jordan expressed his views on the subject in his role as an assistant professor of geography and environmental studies at Trinity Western University by stating: “In my professional opinion, the land sales properties are of regional ecological significance because of the complex forest structure, mixture of tree species and significant biodiversity all contained in a spatially compact area.”

WOLF was encouraged by early and growing local and regional support to address this challenge by seeking economic partnerships in support of protecting and conserving these rare forested properties in their existing natural state, with low impact trails for continued habitat protection and enhancing education and enjoyment opportunities as a “nature park in perpetuity.” We have every confidence that partnering arrangements can be achieved, although the current deadline to conclude the sale is extremely short. WOLF is continuing to engage the community regarding this initiative as well as meeting with an expanding base of interested parties including private individuals and groups, First Nations, government and other agencies in order to pursue all available avenues to finance the purchase of these properties. WOLF has taken on this exciting challenge and looks forward to using the information gained as a blueprint and model for other successful co-ventures involving community advocacy groups in support of environmental conservation in Langley Township. Kirk Robertson, WOLF, Langley

Valley needs transit solutions

Editor: Why do we have to wait for a provincial election before getting to work on transit solutions for the Fraser Valley? Haven’t we waited long enough for a publicly elected, accountable TransLink board? We need to stop misdirecting carbon tax revenue to general funds and put it into improving transit. Municipal councils should consider reducing the TransLink 17-cent per litre gas tax. Excessive gas taxes are sending British Columbians to Washington State for cheaper fuel. This removes transportation tax dollars from our system and hurts local businesses. Municipal politicians should also consider perkilometre levies, rather than the zone-boundary levies being discussed, which could be collected when people renew their vehicle insurance. And I think many of us would like to see municipal and provincial politicians work together to develop a light rail system for the Fraser Valley. Shane Dyson, Aldergrove

Remembrance Day Sunday, November 11

Veterans’ Week

November 5 to 11 “In the Service of Peace”

The Royal Canadian Legion is asking all Canadians to pause on Remembrance Day. On Sunday, 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.

Local Services: Aldergrove Legion 26607 Fraser Highway 604.856.8814 10:25am Parade – Procession leaves the Sal-Mart Thrift Store parking lot at 3111 - 272 Street, heads south along 272 Street to Fraser Highway, then west to the Aldergrove Legion at 26607 Fraser Highway. 10:40am Service at Aldergrove Legion Cenotaph: Fraser Blues flypast, ceremony, followed by potluck lunch and entertainment at the Legion.

Langley Legion 20570 - 56 Avenue 604.534.3615 10:25am Parade – Procession leaves the Langley Legion Branch at 20570 - 56 Avenue, heads down the laneway, then south on 206 Street to Douglas Crescent, to the cenotaph at Douglas Park. 11am Service at Langley City Cenotaph: Fraser Blues flypast, ceremony, and moment of silence.

Murrayville Cemetery – Cenotaph 21405 - 44 Avenue 11am – Although no formal service will be held, residents often gather at the cenotaph to pay their respects on Remembrance Day. The Murrayville and Fort Langley Cemeteries have twin cenotaphs that were erected in 1921. More than 500 veterans are buried in the two cemeteries.

Derek Doubleday Arboretum – Langley Youth For the Fallen: A Walk to Remember 21200 block of Fraser Highway 2pm Ceremony – Unveiling of a commemorative structure listing the names of the 158 Canadian soldiers who fell in Afghanistan, tree planting, Fraser Blues flypast. Band of the 15th Field Regiment Royal Canadian Artillery will perform as part of its “With Glowing Hearts” concert series.

Remembrance Day: We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifices of those hundreds of thousands of Canadian lives 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 sacrifice and their valor rests with our collective national consciousness.

The Langley Board of Education approved the District’s Five Year Capital Plan for 2012/2013 at their regular meeting of October 23, 2012. The B.C. Ministry of Education requires school districts to submit annually, a five year capital plan which is intended to prioritize the district’s investment decisions related to capital projects.

The Capital Plan was informed by the District’s Long Term Facilities Plan which was passed by the Board at the Special Meeting of October 9, 2012. The Five Year Capital Plan identifies a proposed new secondary school to serve the growing Willoughby area as the District’s first priority, followed second by the development of a new elementary school on the current James Anderson Learning Centre site, with the third priority being the expansion of R.C. Garnett Elementary. The plan also calls for the acquisition of three sites for future elementary schools.

Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman reads to Kindergarten students at Simonds Elementary for National School Libraries Day.

Students Drop Everything and Read In honour of National School Libraries Day recently,, Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman joined Board Chair Wendy Johnson, Trustee Cecelia Reekie and Trustee Meagan Dykeman in celebrating Drop Everything and Read at Simonds Elementary. Each was paired with a class with whom they spent some quality time reading. Visit our District website for photo gallery.

Office of the Auditor General Board Self-Assessment Report The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) was engaged by the District in 2010 to conduct an examination of governance and internal control issues in the District. The Auditor General’s report was presented in July 2010. Annually, as part of his governance work in the public sector, the OAG releases a follow-up report on self-assessments conducted by public sector organizations. His report this year was released on October 1, 2012 and included 16 self-assessments of which Langley’s is one.

Students from Walnut Grove Secondary’s PSA Club discuss bullying with Breakfast Television’s Dawn Chubai.

Report on District Efforts to Address Bullying During her recent report to the Board of Education, Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman provided an overview of some of the many initiatives and programs that are in place throughout the District’s curriculum and within Langley Schools to make students aware of the damage caused by bullying. A copy of the presentation may be viewed at www.sd35.bc.ca/board. Parents seeking additional information are encouraged to click the Cyberbullying link off the main page of our District website.

Board Goes Paperless At their recent Regular Meeting, staff presented the business case for the implementation of a paperless board process which indicated the plan would result in net savings to the District of $76,280 over a five year period. The Board subsequently passed a motion for the District to proceed with the purchase of iPads, software and training which will cost just over $32,000 before taxes.

She has learned

Using fabrics and coloured oxides Phyllis also makes sculptures and a variety of other wonderful fibre art creations.” The 2012 creative line up includes hand crafted jewellery by Sheila Vandermark, photo art and books by Ruby Jaggernath, wood turning by Bill Cowan, pottery creations by Claymates Pottery Group and Gail Simpson, photographic art and cards by Elvira Thiessen, confectionary and novelty items by Dani Grant, sculptures, masks and wall hangings by Phyllis Sabean, hand drawn greeting cards and fabric art by Rebekka Jensen, stained glass by Darcy Douglas, Christmas decorations and hand towels by Sandi Dahl, handmade bags and greeting cards by the Abbotsford Area Gogos, beaded art and rosaries by Darleen Dionne, silver work by Lori Reid, scarves by Margaret Wilson and quilted items by Carole Grant.

This is a great pre-Christmas shopping opportunity and with such variety, there is sure to be something for everyone to enjoy.

engineering technology education and careers. B.C. Technology Industries Association employers like Telus and BC Hydro and many smaller technologyrich companies say the single most important position they now struggle to fill is Specialty Technician/Technologist. Even the Canadian Council of Chief Executives expressed concern that only 37 per cent of 16- to 18-year-olds were interested in taking even one post-secondary course in sciences, according to a recent Angus Reid survey. Leech says the opportunities for those seeking work in the technology field are considerable, given a wave of retirements of present-generation B.C. technology professionals that is already underway. “Half of our membership is now middle-aged at 45-plus, and 22 per cent are over age 55,” he says. “Every region of B.C. shows growing demand,” Leech says. “New two-year technology diploma programs are still needed in the north and central B.C. However, young people are investing to travel so they can earn the necessary tech qualifications.” It would appear that type of investment is a smart move, as it will result in a broad

Kodiaks slapped down by Sockeyes, cuff Outlaws By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

The Aldergrove Kodiaks scored the first two goals in the first period against Richmond Sockeyes Thursday at Richmond Arena, but the Sockeyes responded with eight of their own to take the 8-2 win. The Kodiaks almost matched shots on goal 32-34 and scored on one of five power plays to two of three for the Sockeyes.. Kodiaks scorers were MacLean Hewitt at 10:12 from Stephen Ryan and Adam Callegari, and Ryan on a power play at 13:11 from Callegari and Adam Plonski. Sockeyes netted their first at 15:01, with five more goals in the second and two in the third. Kodiaks keeper Mark Menicucci stopped 18 of 24 shots and backup Cole MacInnes stopped eight of 10. The Kodiaks have 11 points after 14 games (5-8-1-0). Aldergrove Kodiaks picked up a badly needed win Wednesday night at Aldergrove Arena over the Mission City Outlaws.

It was a stellar night for the McHaffie twins, Scott and Spencer, who scored three of the four goals that night, and also took the game’s first and second stars. Stephen Ryan scored the other goal and was third star that night. The Kodiaks dominated the game, outshooting the Outlaws 35-18, and scoring on two of 12 power plays. The Kodiaks were up 2-0 at the end of the first period and 4-0 at the end of the second. The Outlaws scored their only goal in the third period, with one by Danny Hall, and none on any of six power plays. Scott McHaffie scored twice in the first, at 7:54, and at 19:53 on a power play, assisted by Kodi Schwarz and Adam Plonski, and Spencer McHaffie and Ryan Veillet, respectively. Ryan scored at 6:17 in the second on a power play, assisted by Schwarz and Tyson Solotki, HARRY HUNT PHOTO and Spencer McHaffie netted one at 10:49, assisted by brother Scott The Kodiaks duo of twin brothers Scott (#97) and Spencer (#93) McHaffie scored three goals together against Mission City Outlaws, Oct. 24 at Aldergrove Arena, for the 4-1 victory. and Ryan Procyshyn.

Gators, Harrison win Valley cross country title Aldergrove Star

Walnut Grove’s Joel Harrison took top spot, crossing the finish line nearly 16 seconds ahead of the second-place runner at the Fraser Valley cross-country championships. Harrison completed the 3.3-km run in the boys’ Grade 8 division on Oct. 24 at Aldergrove Regional Park in 11:38.55. The Gators also won the team title with 30 points, two better than the MEI Eagles, who had 32. In cross-country, each team’s top four runners are awarded points based on their finish (among those involved in the team portion) and the squad with the lowest aggregate number wins. Walnut Grove won in large part because they placed four runners within the top dozen. By comparison, MEI had runners finish third, seventh, ninth and 13th. That meant Brock Hertz (18th overall) and Brendan Bone (20th overall) earned the Gators 11 and 12 points, respectively, and played a huge role in the team victory as they crossed ahead of MEI’s Tre Pankratz (24th overall). Had Pankratz finished ahead of them, then MEI would have won the title. Walnut Grove’s Liam Smithson earned six points for his 12th place finish. Complete Langley results: 1.

Walnut Grove’s Sammy Lundquist just missed the top 10, placing 11th with a time of 13:56.57. Lundquist did help the Gators finish fourth as a team. Complete Langley results: 2.

Straight talk for shoppers in Aldergrove Who supports our children’s minor sports teams? Which commercial taxpayers contribute to city improvements? Who offers critical employment to our children and others? Who is most often asked to fund our community events? Which business people form many of our local service clubs? Who advocates for a more vibrant city? Which business leaders volunteer on boards and capital campaigns? Who supports the arts in our community?

Hamm a three-time Canadian rugby all-star By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

Aldergrove’s Megan Hamm has been named to the 2012 Canada West women’s rugby All-Stars for the third year in a row. Hamm has been an outstanding player since her Aldergrove Secondary years, during which she helped the girls’ rugby team win several championships. She has played for the B.C. and Canadian national teams as well as for Abbotsford Rugby Club, prior to signing on with the UBC Thunderbirds. Hamm says the pressure of school and injury have been a challenge this season, however. “Although I have a hard time admitting to injury I have been suffering from a back injury for the past several months,” says Hamm. “It is very difficult and frustrating when you are unable to play to your full potential. My position on the field controls a huge aspect of the game and the minute I lose composure, it has a major influence on the rest of my team.” There have been highlights, however. “My favourite memory of the past rugby season would have to be winning our last home game to go to Canwest. Leading only by a try while defending our try line with everything we have left in the tanks, I have never been so relieved to hear the final whistle blow. That day we put everything we were working on together. I could feel the passion and

Aldergrove’s Megan Hamm, playing fly half for the UBC Thunderbirds, has been named a Canada West Rugby All-Star for the third year in a row. determination from every single one of my teammates. “School is going well, although with exams and paper deadlines just around the corner it feels like the semester just started. I am into my senior years of a kinesiology degree and finding my classes really intense, but interesting. Maybe I can direct the extra energy towards my studies and focus on improving my academics. “Right now my main focus is on the recovery process and finishing my degree. At this point I have been just taking it day by day so I haven’t put too much thought into the future.

“The 2016 Olympic Games was a future lifelong goal that seems to be getting farther and farther away. Hopefully with one of the best sport doctors at the heart of UBC I can recover quickly and get back to the sport I love,” says Hamm. Award winners at the 2012 women’s rugby championships include Most Valuable Player Chelsea Guthrie (Alberta), Rookie of the Year Amee Svatos (Alberta), winner of the Student-Athlete and Community Service award Tarin Arndt (Calgary) and Coach of the Year is Alberta Pandas head coach Matt Parrish. Notable 2012 All-

Stars include Brandi Van Eeuwen (Lethbridge), a two-time CIS gold medalist, five-time Canada West champion, former All-Canadian, CIS Tournament All-Star and the 2008 CIS Rookie of the Year, who makes her record fifth straight appearance as a Canada West All-Star. Carmen Hobbs (Alberta), 2010 CIS Rookie of the Year Meghan Hamm (UBC), Brynna Walker (Calgary) and conference scoring leader Alberta’s Chelsea Guthrie, each made the all-conference roster in 2011. For Guthrie and Hamm it is their third consecutive selection to the team.

HARTL, Beatrice Mary Nov 10,1929 - Oct 27, 2012

Bea passed away peacfully at McKenney Creek Hospice. A funeral service will be held at St. Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church in Aldergrove on Friday November 2nd at 2:00 pm. Visit our memorial at: www. hendersonslangleyfunerals.com

GRANT, Mary Anne (Yaki) Age 78, of Abbotsford and formerly of Aldergrove, passed away October, 21, 2012 due to complications from a brain tumor. Mary Anne was born on the farm near Sandwith, Saskatchewan to John & Selma Yaki. She is predeceased by her parents and sister Dorothy (Ed) Gasper. She is survived by brothers Stan (Mary) Yaki, Gus (Aileen) Yaki, sister-in-law Rae, and sister Margaret (Ralph) Weger. She was a devoted mother to sons Dean (Debi) and Daryl (Marj), a proud grandma to Stefani (Tyler), Carlee, Derek, Chantalle & Sean, and an affectionate greatgrandmother to Lincoln. Mary Anne received her nursing education in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and served as an R.N. across Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and later in BC at the Oakalla Prison Hospital (Burnaby), and Langley Memorial Hospital. She retired in 1991. She will be remembered for her baking, babysitting, home canning, and holiday meals. She was famous for getting a â&#x20AC;&#x153;good dealâ&#x20AC;? & conscientiously recycling. Although she insisted she â&#x20AC;&#x153;didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need anythingâ&#x20AC;?, she was a cheerful consumer of Tim Hortons coffee. She was a generous giver of time and resources to family, friends, neighbours and charities. In her retirement, she loved to garden: her dahlias, roses, rhododendrons & geraniums were admired by many. The family would like to thank Liah (Tom) Luu, and the caring staff of the Menno Homes. At Mary Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, no service is planned. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family at: www.MyAlternatives.ca
