Stabbed man in serious condition Aldergrove Star
A 55-year-old Aldergrove man who was brutally stabbed and found bleeding in the 27000-block of Fraser Highway on Sunday is clinging to life. Langley RCMP are working diligently to identify a suspect or suspects involved in the attack and are asking the public for help. The victim was known to move about the Aldergrove area on a white mountain
bike, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Const. Craig van Herk. If you have seen anyone riding a white bike in the Aldergrove area last weekend or have information about anyone he was seen with or about the crime contact police, said van Herk. “It’s a pretty distinctive bike so we are hoping someone saw him,” said van Herk. Langley’s serious crime units and general duty officers are working hard and
walking downtown Aldergrove trying to find suspects. “This is not gang-related. It doesn’t appear to be tied to any sort of gang activity. It’s a fairly complex investigation and it is hard to know at this time what the motive was,” he said. If you have any information call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or if you wish to remain anonymous call Crimstoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.
Assessed property values in the City of Langley have fallen slightly compared to the previous year while Langley Township values were up or unchanged. The just-issued 2013 B.C. assessment notices show the average value of a single family home in the City is now $461,000, a .86 per cent drop from $465,000 in 2012. In the Township, an average single family home is now worth $519,000, a 0.78 per cent increase from the $515,000 average of the previous year. Condominiums lost value in the City, with the average strata apartments going from $206,000 to $197,000, a 4.3 per cent drop. The average Langley City townhouse fell from $206,000 to $198,000, a drop of 3.8 per cent. It was a different story in Langley Township, where the average strata apartments assessed value was unchanged from the previous year at 191,000. The average Langley Township Townhouse rose from $217,000 to $220,000, an increase of 1.3 per cent. There were ups and down in other regions of the province, too. Drops of as much as five per cent and gains of up to 10 per cent for single detached houses were experienced in Surrey, Burnaby and the Tri-Cities. Drops as big as 10 per cent were recorded in White Rock and significant decreases were seen in Whistler, Pemberton, the Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island. “For the first time in many years a significant number of properties in the region are actually decreasing in value,” assessor Jason Gratl said of Vancouver Sea-to-Sky region changes. Many homes on Vancouver’s west side and in Richmond are also down slightly, after gains of as much as 30 per cent a year earlier. Strata condos and townhomes in Metro Vancouver were susceptible to wider swings, with drops of as much as 10 per cent and gains of 10 per cent typical. But most Fraser Valley home owners are seeing minimal changes, according to assessors. The numbers vary considerably depending on neighbourhoods, property type, age and other localized factors. Assessments are considered a snapshot of the property value as of July 1, 2012, which pre-dates some of the recent decline in Lower Mainland real estate markets. The property assessments were mailed out last week. Owners can also check their assessments online at bcassessment.ca (click on e-ValueBC) and compare with others in their neighbourhood to decide if they want to file an appeal by Jan. 31. Appeal requests go to independent property assessment review panels that convene in February. Changes in the property tax payable depends on the actual tax rates to be set by each local municipality, so a home that’s assessed five per cent higher might not pay any more in tax if the average assessment in the city rose 10 per cent and the local council sets its rate to generate a smaller tax revenue increase. The total assessed value of real estate in B.C. rose 2.3 per cent from a year ago. Most cities are seeing gains of around 1.5 per cent in their assessment rolls from new construction, expanding their tax base. -with files from Jeff Nagel, Black Press

Black ice forces temporary closure of 208 Street on Monday morning Aldergrove Star
Langley’s 208 Street hill was a skating rink of black ice, causing several fender benders and forcing a temporary closure of the busy road on Monday morning.
Langley Township fire department report that the road was icy compared to other main routes around Langley. The road was closed for the morning commute and re-opened
around 9:30 a.m. It’s not known if crews salted the road or not. Witnesses said there were ambulance on scene and numerous crashes.

Washout closes 8 Avenue By TRACY HOLMES Aldergrove Star
Eight blocks of South Surrey’s 8 Avenue – between 192 and 200 Streets – are expected to remain closed through at least Friday, as crews work to repair damage triggered by Tuesday’s heavy rains. “It’s a pretty major job,” said Jeff Welch, the City of Surrey’s south-end roads and drainage manager. “We’re going down basically 30 feet and having to build the road up 30 feet, so there’s lots of gravel, there’s lots of riprap, lots of stabilization that has to be done to make sure the road doesn’t slip away.”
Crews have been working since early Wednesday, after a portion of the shoulder on the road’s south side washed out in the 19500-block of 8 Avenue around 5:30 a.m. Welch said water running down the driveway of an abandoned lot just east of the affected area carried gravel that blocked the catch-basin. “So the water had to bypass the catch-basin, and it found its easiest route down the hill,” he said. “Unfortunately, that easiest route meant it wiped out the whole shoulder of the road.” To repair the damage, crews have had to remove a section
of the roadway itself in order to access the problem area. They have to build up “the toe” of the bank so it won’t wash out further, then rebuild the road, Welch said. The washout was the only one in Surrey, and Welch said it would have been impossible to predict. While it likely wouldn’t have caused drivers any grief if they had been on the road at the time, Welch said the washout would certainly have caught their attention. “It would have scared them because it was really close to the NICK GREENIZAN PHOTO road edge,” he said. Crews work to repair 8 Avenue, after the road’s shoulder washed out in the The repairs “will be costly,” 19500-block early Wednesday.
Expansion of Langley Memorial Hospital maternity unit begins Aldergrove Star
Patients at Langley Memorial Hospital are one-step closer to a newly expanded maternity unit, as construction is now underway on the Vandekerkhove Family Maternity Centre. The Fraser Health Authority issued a Request for Proposal in September 2012 to general contractors, and Vancouver-based Bird Construction was awarded the construction contract for the new centre. The expansion will include seven additional Single Room Maternity Care (SRMC) rooms, including one with improved isolation facilities, and reserved space for three additional rooms to support future expansion.
LMH is one of four Fraser Health sites offering the SRMC model, which is based on best practice and contributes to a better childbirth experience by supporting family centered care. With the seven new rooms, the total number of SRMC spaces will increase to 20, to better manage current and future demand. The number of births at LMH is expected to increase to 2,336 by 2020 – a 28 per cent increase from 2009. In addition to the new rooms, the maternity clinic, which is currently operating out of temporary space within the hospital, will be relocated next to the maternity unit.
Comprised of general practitioners with specific interests in primary maternity care, the clinic completes more than 10,000 patient visits every year. Further improvements include a dedicated Post Anaesthetic Recovery Unit (PACU) room to allow families to stay together after surgery; renovated and expanded nursery space with improved isolation facilities; additional on-call rooms for medical students who are completing their obstetrical placement in the Langley Maternity Clinic; and new multipurpose space for team training and meetings. The new maternity unit will be named the Vandekerkhove Family
Maternity Centre in recognition of a $1 million gift from Langley’s Vandekerkhove family. The $6.5 million project is being funded by the community through Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation’s commitment of $5.35 million, with the additional $1.15 million funded by Fraser Health Authority (FH). Further, FH is funding various infrastructure projects totaling $5.5 million, which are required to support the LMH maternity expansion, and will also fund its ongoing operational costs. Construction is scheduled for completion in late 2013, at which time four beds will open, with the
three remaining expected to open in 2015. Service and care to expectant moms and families will not be affected during the construction phase. Langley MLA Mary Polak said, “I commend Fraser Health and the Langley Memorial Hospital Foundation for their commitment to making this a reality. We have great community support for Langley Memorial Hospital and I’m excited to see the expansion of the Langley Memorial Hospital maternity unit moving forward. Families in Langley will indeed benefit from this important project, which will improve patient care and health in our growing community.”

Assessors accused of unfairly inflating local home sizes By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star
Shirley Paulenko just about panicked when she opened her property assessment to find the value of her South Surrey house had soared 43 per cent in a single year. The $450,000 jump in her assessment to more than $1.5 million would mean a big jump in the recently widowed senior’s property tax bill. “I was so flabbergasted,” Paulenko said. “I lost a night’s sleep. I thought, ‘holy man, how could this possibly be going up by this much money?’ “ Her son looked at the assessment notice for the two-storey home near 140 Street and 26 Avenue and found the answer. It showed she lives in what friends now joke is the “mushroom house” – a 1,746-sq.-ft. first floor with a giant 8,791-sq.-ft. second storey somehow perched on top. BC Assessment says a typing error added a fourth digit for the second floor by mistake. Assessors have now corrected both the square footage and reduced Paulenko’s assessment to just over $1.1 million, an eight-per-cent increase Paulenko
still has her doubts about. But it’s not the only case where residents in the region are complaining about either errors or unusual changes in the assessment authority’s calculation of their house size. “I think there’s going to be a whole pile of these errors,” said Surrey accountant Cindy Konkin. She and her husband are appealing their Newton house’s 8.6-per-cent assessment increase to $554,000 because it shows what they say is a fictitious 1,100-sq.-ft. increase in the size of the home. In the Konkins’ case, BC Assessment is holding firm on its determination of the value, saying the first floor is now designated as living space, rather than basement. “Nothing’s changed here in 23 years,” Konkin said. “They could look through our window and see it’s an unfinished basement.” Even excluding the first-floor revision, the Konkins say BC Assessment inexplicably added more than 200 square feet to the footprint of the main floor. Meanwhile, Konkin has checked the assessments of eight other homes on their block of
77A Avenue off of144 Street and found the square-footage numbers have all changed – some by a few feet, others by several hundred. In only one case she’s aware of is the change justifiable because of the finishing of a basement. “Without looking at very many, we’ve found there are errors,” Konkin said. “How many people have got theirs and are up $20,000 or $30,000 and just think it happened to everybody? Now they’re all going to be charged more.” Chris Danchuk, deputy area assessor for South Fraser, said BC Assessment hasn’t seen any spike in complaints about errors relating to home sizes. But he said the sizes of all homes have been reviewed over the past two years using aerial photos and corrections have been made in many cases. “We can go in and look at a house from four different angles and see if there have been any changes to the property,” he said. In other words, owners who have built illegal additions to their homes without a building permit can now expect to have the extra space added to their assessment and see their tax bill
to the city go up accordingly. Danchuk said assessors used to walk down the street knocking on doors, but “often people weren’t home, didn’t let us in, or wouldn’t give us any information.” Landcor Data Corp. president Rudy Nielsen said use of aerial photos is likely responsible for some of the jumps in square footage appearing on assessments. “If a person did a renovation even five or six years ago they’ll catch it with this new system and correct the square footage on your assessment,” he said. Nielsen, whose firm analyzes property values, said errors do happen, even though BC Assessment’s system is “one of the best in the world.” And he suggests residents carefully consider whether it’s worth fighting an assessment they think is unfair in order to save a few hundred a year in tax. Assessed value is a key number that tends to influence the future selling price of a home, he said, so an owner who fights to keep their house value lower to pay less tax now could end up doing worse when they have to sell.

VICTORIA – A study of six northern Alberta lakes conducted by Environment Canada and other scientists was published last week, generating headlines around the world. “Oil sands toxins ‘accumulate in freshwater systems,’” the BBC announced. The headline in The New York Times declared: “Oil sands industry in Canada tied to higher carcinogen level.” The study was reported with similar alarm across Canada. It looked at levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in lakebed sediment, and found levels measurably higher than natural sources since oil sands extraction began 50 years ago. Most news reports I saw made little or no effort to put this information into context, in terms of the actual risk to humans, fish and other organisms. Some quoted people they knew would scream bloody murder, because as we in the media are taught, conflict and fear attract an audience. As expected, U.S. environmental groups and their Canadian branch offices ramped up the rhetoric to battle their favourite villain. At least one major Canadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail, did a responsible job. Its report on the study stated “PAH pollution level remains low – on par, at worst, with an urban lake –
but is rising.” In fact, five of six lakes tested were far below average contamination of urban lakes. PAH fallout is a daily constant of urban life, from vehicles, industry, and particularly where coal is burned for electricity. To be clear, there are dozens of different forms of PAH. Some have been shown to increase cancer risk, and some have been linked to (but not proven to cause) infertility, immune disorders and fish mutations. So when you drive your kids to school, stand at the bus stop, or drink a glass of water from Coquitlam Lake or any urban reservoir, you are exposed to PAH pollution from human and natural sources. The risk from this is an ongoing focus of research, but this study confirms one thing: your exposure is likely greater in any urban area than it is downwind of the Alberta oil sands. I argued this point with B.C.’s celebrity environmentalist Tzeporah Berman, who has shuttled back and forth from ForestEthics to Greenpeace in recent years. She took to her Facebook page to publicize a dramatic call to action from 350.org, one of the most strident climate change advocacy groups in the U.S., selectively using a quote and picture from The New York Times. Our debate turned to greenhouse gas emissions. I
argued that this PAH study mirrors the true picture of carbon dioxide emissions, which is that nearly 70 per cent of CO2 from all petroleum comes when you burn the final product in engines and furnaces. In B.C., which doesn’t burn coal for electricity, fully 40 per cent of humancaused greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation. Other sources include home heating and industry. Berman insisted I was wrong, and claimed 70 per cent of Canada’s greenhouse gases come from “heavy industry.” I asked for her source. No response. A 2010 report by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel calculated that 27 per cent of our country’s fossil fuel emissions come from transportation. Another 16 per cent is from fuels burned for electricity. Five per cent is from oil sands operations. Berman’s figure is conveniently untrue. Greenpeace and the rest of the environmental scare industry want you to believe that stopping Alberta’s oil sands and pipelines would save the planet. Also wrong. It would drive oil demand from the U.S., Venezuela’s oil sands and elsewhere, with little net effect on the climate or pollution.

Editor: Enbridge Inc. are spending a lot of money advertising in the newspapers and on TV in an attempt to persuade people that their planned Northern Gateway pipeline will really be safe. Enbridge know that this is the number one concern of the majority of people in B.C. around this project and their political pals in Victoria and Ottawa will not be able to push this through unless the safety issue disappears. It is significant that Enbridge Inc. has set up a special company for this project (Northern Gateway Pipelines, Inc or NGPI) This sounds reasonable until it is realized that setting up NGPI breaks the liability ties to the principal multi-billion company (10 billion Cdn in equity). If there were a major disaster, at sea or on land, that looked as though it was going to cost billions to fix and clean up, then Enbridge Inc’s management could just walk away scot-free after declaring NGPI bankrupt. Commercial law limits the liability of the owners of any company (like NGPI) to its issued capital, which by design is a small fraction of Enbridge’s capitalization. If Enbridge Inc. is convinced that their project is safe, let them buy a commercial indemnity policy, say for one billion dollars (the Exxon Valdez spill cost half that), from the free-enterprise insurance industry (not the B.C. government that is drooling over the expected $2 billion in royalties). If the NGPI plans really are safe then Enbridge should be able to buy a 30 year policy to pay for any cleanups at a reasonable price - if they cannot do so, then the independent risk-assesment market has voted with its wallet that this is not a safe project. Let Enbridge Inc. really put its money into safety and not just into smooth-talking advertisements and prove to the people of B.C., in advance, that this project is truly low-risk. It is significant that the BC Liberals have not yet insisted on this independent proof of safety. Herb Spencer, Surrey
Forest being held for ransom?
Editor: Over the past few months, Langley Township mayor and council have been attempting to ransom off a jewel of a property in Glen Valley called McLellan Park East, to raise funds to build a new leisure centre in Aldergrove. My choice of the word “ransom” stems from the numerous comments that council has made to residents on why they are going to sell this rare non-ALR chunk of property. For example, council had offered to save the park “if” local residents could come up with $3.5 million dollars, in a very short and unrealistic period of time. The fact that this property is already owned by all of us has made it difficult for the local supporters, Watchers of Langley Forests (WOLF), to raise any funds. The likely outcome at the next council meeting in January will be council saying to residents “Don’t say we never gave you a chance to save it.” Councillor Charlie Fox has publicly entered into this hostagetaking by placing the responsibility and guilt back on the residents, who have been trying to save this park. Fox stated at the Dec. 10 council meeting, “this (saving McLellan) could mean selling one or two much larger wilderness properties in the same area owned by the Township, one of 110 acres and the other 120 acres to generate the needed funds for the Aldergrove project. As they say in the business, show me the money.” So, let me get the math straight. We save 25 acres, yet give up 230 acres of comparable land in the same ecologically sensitive area. Well played. Regarding a similar piece of property located a stone’s throw from McLellan Park East, Mayor Jack Froese commented publicly that once the Township agreed not to sell that particular piece, concerned residents needed to come out and help raise funds to build the community centre. Given that residents work hard all year to pay their taxes for local services and amenities, I’m not sure where his “kind” offer came from, but it’s just another example of conditions that must be met by residents. Finally, I have no issue with selling off part of the multi-million dollar property portfolio that Township (we taxpayers) own. I do have an issue with the belittling, controlling, and outright mysterious manner in which mayor and council are dealing with the McLellan Park East property. If you share my concerns and those of the residents of Glen Valley, please contact mayor and council before the next council meeting in January. Dave Stark, Langley

Wire theft slashed by new rules on metal buying By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star
Metal theft is down sharply in the first six months since a new provincial law took effect to clamp down on unscrupulous scrap buyers. Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said the number of live phone cables stolen by thieves dropped 80 per cent from almost 250 in the first half of 2012 to just over 50 in the second half. “We saw the number of thefts decline almost immediately after the legislation was passed,” Hall said. “It makes it far more difficult for thieves to unload their material.” The Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act requires scrap metal buyers to keep a daily log of their purchases and suppliers, who have to provide identification, be registered and can only be paid by cheque for amounts
over $50. Some individual cities already had their own bylaws, but the regulatory patchwork meant thieves could steal wire in one area and sell it in a city where it either wasn’t regulated or local rules were poorly enforced. In the past, some dealers have paid cash without getting any ID from “salvagers” – even ones bringing in everything from street drain covers and traffic lights to metal grave markers and whole phone booths. “There’s more to be done, but the legislation is certainly doing its part,” Hall said. “It makes it difficult for those bad apples in the scrap industry to continue knowingly buying stolen material.” Hall also credits police for taking metal theft seriously, but added he’s hopeful the problem doesn’t escalate again after some
recently jailed chronic offenders are released. Telus lost $16 million to metal theft last year and Hall noted service outages also leave residents without 911 emergency calling and cost small businesses sales when they can’t process credit and debit cards. BC Hydro has also reported a more than 50 per cent drop in copper wire theft since July. So far 64 of the 76 identified metal dealers or recyclers have registered – as required under the new law – and the rest must do so by Jan. 26. Provincial inspectors have met with all operators and performed the first periodic spot checks of most of them to ensure they comply with the new rules. A Richmond metal dealer became the first in the province to be issued a $575 ticket under the new law for buying stolen
metal – storm drain covers pilfered from Vancouver streets. If offending dealers don’t shape up after inspectors hit them with violation tickets, authorities can also seek charges under the act – the maximum penalties are fines of up to $100,000 for a business and six months in jail for an individual. “It’s important that this industry is regulated and our inspectors will continue to inspect metal dealers and monitor the industry to ensure compliance,” Justice Minister Shirley Bond said. Critics in the recycling industry say there should be more emphasis on police pursuing thieves rather than adding to their paperwork. They also say some police forces are not yet fully prepared to receive daily electronic logs of buyers.
Fisheries will not pursue complaint at landfill Aldergrove Star
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans will not be pursuing a complaint against Abbotsford resident Gene Drader. Last week, a fisheries officer and a habitat biologist met with Drader to discuss the anonymous complaint, which alleged that residue and seepage were coming from Drader’s property and
flowing into the nearby Fraser River. After inspecting the area, the officers informed Drader that they would not take any further action on the complaint. Neither the fisheries officer nor the habitat biologist would comment on the issue. Drader said he’s glad the fisheries have cleared
up the matter. “I feel good that there’s no problem,” he said, adding it’s just another issue to have to deal with. Drader is involved in an ongoing legal battle with the city of Abbotsford regarding his property on Marsh McCormick Road, off Bradner Road. He has been bringing
in dump truck loads of fill to shore up a steep bank on his 10-acre rural property, without a city permit, which Drader says he does not need. “This (the decision) is confirming that the material I’m bringing in is clean fill, there’s not going to be any residue.” His actions come after more than 16 years of litigation with the City
of Abbotsford. He has argued in court that the city diverted water onto his property, destabilizing the slope and causing landslides. In 2001, the parties reached an out-of-court settlement. However, more flooding and damage have occurred, causing both sides to go back to court on several occasions.

Forty catalytic converters from pick up trucks have been stolen in Langley recently, police are warning.
at the moment as to why these converters are such a hot ticket item right now. They may be sold on the black market or for scrap, police said. In California, drivers are required to replace their catalytic converters every five years, so it may be connected, said police. Truck drivers in Langley have already been facing an expensive crime. Thieves have been drilling holes in gas tanks, particularly on trucks to steal gas.
cia
Langley RCMP would like to warn owners of pick up trucks that thieves are stealing the catalytic converters. “It appears the catalytic converter, particularly on the Dodge 2500 and 3500 diesel engine trucks, is becoming a hot item for thieves,” said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. Langley RCMP has received six reports over the past two weeks of these thefts along the
Langley/Surrey border. More than 40 catalytic converters have been stolen so far, she said. The catalytic converter is part of a vehicle’s exhaust system that converts harmful pollutants into less harmful emissions before they leave the vehicle. These parts are expensive. Just the part will cost between $3,000 and $4,000. To protect your vehicle, police recommend truck drivers park their vehicles in a well lit area or ideally in your garage.

Aldergrove skating club members excelled at their first competition of the season last weekend at South Surrey arena.
Skaters bring home four medals Aldergrove Star
The Aldergrove Synchronized Skating teams attended their first competition of the season this past weekend at the South Surrey arena. This was the BC/YT Championships. The Black Ice Pre-Novice team skated two very strong performances to the music from Rock of Ages and gained strong points to achieve the gold medal. Ice Angels Juvenile team, skating to a Magic theme pulled together as a team, skated their personal best and held onto third place for

the bronze medal. Snowflakes Beginner 1 team kept lines straight and circles round and came home with the silver medal, missing the gold by very few points. Ice Silhouette Adult 3 team entertained the crowd, skating to a “wine” theme. Enjoying their skate with heads held high they achieved a gold standing. The teams will be working hard in the next few weeks to better their performances for the Mountain Regional Competition, being held January 25-27 in Abbotsford. There

will be teams from all over B.C. and Alberta at this event. Also this past weekend was the Adult Championships, at which several of the club’s skaters competed. In the Pre-introductory Interpretive event were Linda Maundrell (fourth), Sue Edwards (fifth), Heather Steeple (sixth) and in the Bronze Ladies event Rossi Zacharias, in her first skate in many years, placed fourth. Great skates from all these ladies. They will be continuing to work on their programs for Nationals in April in Kamloops.

Aldergrove Bantams Squeak Through
Poll says many hockey fans will tune NHL out By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star

Many B.C. hockey fans intend to punish the NHL for the season’s long lockout, according to a new poll. The findings by Insights West found fan support has dropped by nearly half over the course of the lockout, from 60 per cent to 33 per cent. And 48 per cent are planning to watch less, while 64 per cent say they will go to fewer games during the remainder of the shortened season. Another 44 per cent said they’ll buy less merchandise. “People are mad and they’re mad now,” said Insights West president Steve Mossop. But he cautioned it’s harder to predict how much of the anger will dissipate in a few months as excitement builds into the Stanley Cup playoffs. Fan hostility played out on Twitter, social media and other

commentary through the lockout, he noted. “The sentiment is even more negative than we initially thought to be the case. I think the NHL may have underestimated the amount of fan disgruntlement.” Those who consider themsleves fanatical or huge hockey followers has dropped from 25 per cent to 12 per cent, according to the survey of more than 600 B.C. adults. The number who say they’re not much of a fan or not a fan at all has nearly tripled from 14 per cent to 42 per cent. Mossop noted any lingering hostility may have implications for hockey-dependent businesses like pubs and perhaps even NHL-related charities. For more on this and other polls see: www.insightswest.com

HARRY HUNT PHOTO
D.W. Poppy Secondary’s Brittany Mitchell works her way past Langley Fundamental’s Jenny Lee in grade 8 girls’ basketball, Thursday, Jan. 10 at D.W. Poppy. The hosts won this game, 26-22.
The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades women’s basketball team are ranked number one in the CIS top ten poll for a second straight week. Fresh off their sweep of Saskatchewan, 71-62 and Alberta, 74-50, the Cascades improve their Pacific Division leading record to 11-1, tied with the Regina Cougars (Prairie Division) for best record in Canada West. The Cascades are led by Sarah Wierks, Chilliwack, with a 14.3 ppg average and 7.9 rebounds per game. Aieisha Luyken, Mission, follows closely behind with a 12.5 ppg average and had a tremendous weekend leading UFV with 42 points against the Huskies and Pandas. Four different Cascades are averaging more than 10 points per game this year.
On a chilly Saturday, Jan. 12, Aldergrove Blue Thunder put the heat on Chilliwack Renegades to win 5-1 in U-11 soccer at Aldergrove Athletic Park. Aldergrove’s Cade McKenzie is wearing the white Aldergrove jersey in this photo from the game. HARRY HUNT PHOTO
