The event was part of the department’s annual Fire Prevention Week activities. This year’s focus is on preventing kitchen fires.

Telling his truth to help victims of bullies SURREY RCMP OFFICER HOPES HIS TRAGIC STORY WILL INSPIRE OTHERS TO TALK MO N I Q U E TA M M I N G A Ti me s Re po r t e r

A week before Amanda Todd took her own life, Surrey RCMP Const. Tad Milmine began sharing his own story of abuse and bullying with students across B.C. and Ontario. On Friday, the day after the oneyear anniversary of Todd’s death, Milmine was in front of 1,500 R.E. Mountain Secondary students at the Langley Events Centre, speaking his truth. “If I am to be successful today, you will leave here a little bit of a better person,” Milmine told the crowd of teenagers. He shared with the students the story of his life, which included being locked in a basement for 12 years and being bullied at school, as well as the story of another boy’s life of physical torment and bullying. It left the students hanging on his every word. Milmine has spoken more than 220 times and received more than 7,000 emails from students afterward. The majority of the messages thank him for coming to speak, but often that begins a conversation in which they open up to him.

I want to make sure these kids know that they do have someone. TAD MILMINE

“They are looking for someone to talk to. Many of these students pour their hearts out and tell me everything. I hear horrible stories of bullying, others are the bullies and they make a commitment to me to change,” he said. “All of these students’ emails inspire me to do more.” “I do these talks on my days off from my full-time job as a police officer,” said Milmine. “I will go home after this and read through and respond to every email that is sent to me.” Milmine told the students about his world of abuse growing up. He begins his story at age five, when his parents divorced and his mom left, never seeing him again.

He was left in the care of his alcoholic father who quickly brought a new woman into the house. He refers to her as “the devil.” She locked him in a unheated basement, with a concrete floor, for every part of his day — except while he was at school — all the while verbally abusing and berating him. Often he was served food on a plate at the top of the basement stairs. He was given five minutes to eat. Through the years, his dad drank and ignored what was going on with his son. “It was my dirty little secret and I didn’t tell anyone,” he said. At five and until 17, he was “horrifically” introverted and shy, and was constantly sobbing both at

home and school. He was a target of constant bullying at school. “I was a victim and the message here is victims don’t speak.” He never fought back, never responded or told anyone. He just took it. One day, at 17 years old, Milmine left his house and never looked back. He walked all night and ended up finding his own way to the welfare office which set him up in his own apartment. He has never seen his dad or ‘the devil’ since. “I’ve had a lot of negative in my life, but I made the choice to live positively,” he said. He shares with the students a story about a 15-year-old boy Jaime Hubley of Onatrio who killed himself after being bullied for being gay. “I read the news in my bed at night and I remember reading about Jaime and feeling frozen in my bed. Right there I knew I couldn’t just read about this anymore, I was going to do something about it.” He talks about how Jaime was tormented and didn’t tell anyone. He speaks of the times when bullies would hold his mouth open

on the school bus and everyone would spit inside. They then shoved batteries down his throat. When a student called his parents to let them know what was happening to Jaime, they took him to the hospital where the batteries were removed. Milmine then tells the kids that he, too, is gay, just like Jaime. He makes it clear that the only reason he mentions he is gay is to demonstrate that he understands what it’s like to feel like an outcast. “I want to make sure these kids know that they do have someone. “I know what it’s like to be different and unique, and I also know what it’s like to grow up and live my dream.” But he also tells listeners that if they had a negative thought when he announced he was gay, they need to ask themselves why. “I tell them I’m still the same person, and if you call 911, no matter how much you hate me or dislike me or don’t understand me, I’m still going to be at your door asking how I can help you,” he said.

Driver who killed Silas O’Brien will be back on road in 2026 PARENT’S APPEAL RESULTS IN 14-YEAR DRIVING BAN THAT BEGAN WHEN HE WAS SENTENCED MONIQUE TAMMINGA Tim es Reporter

Brent Parent has claimed a small victory in the B.C. Court of Appeals. Parent, 43, who is serving fiveand-a-half years in federal prison for the hit-and-run death of 21-year-old Silas O’Brien, was in court on Monday, Sept. 30. He was there to appeal his driving ban, contending that the 12-year prohibition should run from the date of sentencing, not begin once he is released from prison. The Crown, meanwhile

sought the substitution of a 15year driving prohibition, commencing from the date of sentencing. In the end, the appeal judges ruled for a 14-year driving ban, commencing from the date of sentencing. That means instead of getting his driver’s licence back in 2029, Parent will be able to drive again in 2026. In May 2012, a Supreme Court judge sentenced Parent to federal time. Parent had accumulated 64 driving infractions and five

driving suspensions during his years on the road. When he was sentenced in May, 2012, Judge Terence Schultes suggested that Parent take advantage of anger management courses which would be available to him in a federal prison. On the second anniversary of O’Brien’s death, Parent was pulled over by police on 16 Avenue for driving 105 km/h in a 60 km/h zone. He said he was rushing home to see if it was his friend who had been killed in an avalanche.

Popular phone app torments teens From Page 3

Milmine does his presentations on his days off and on his own dime. He created the website (www.bullyingendshere. ca) to tell both his story and Jamie’s story, and to hopefully help struggling youth. Because there are a lot of teens with their own secrets and their own pain, and the numbers of them are rising, he said in a later interview. He points to a popular app Ask.fm that has caused many teens pain.

While it is a great chatting tool, it also sends daily spam into their accounts with such messages as: “you are ugly, why don’t you just kill yourself?” The spam is sent from a Middle Eastern country and has no person attached to the hurtful, hateful words, but many teens take the spam personally and it’s damaging, he said. Milmine urges everyone to start talking to teens, having real conversations — not sending them to websites — to help with bullying. With files from Surrey Leader

City Council sets aside $30,000 from enterprise fund for 14 new benches FUN DS SHOULD HAVE BEEN BUDGETED, SAYS COUNCILLO R BR EN D A AND E R SO N Tim e s Re po r t e r

A new recreation centre, crime prevention efforts, environmental protection, life-saving AEDs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all of these might be better ways to spend $30,000 from the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enterprise fund than replacing public seating, according to one member of council. A lengthy debate over the purchase of 14 new benches at the Oct. 7 meeting of Langley City council came down to the aesthetics of the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown core, how much improvements cost and where that money is coming from. As council decided whether to allocate $30,000 from the enterprise fund (formerly called the council enterprise fund) on public benches for the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown core, Councillor Dave Hall suggested the expenditure should have been handled during the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual budget planning process earlier in the year. As he has in the past, Hall referred to the enterprise fund as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;slush fundâ&#x20AC;? which the City rushes to spend at the end of each year. Rather than spend that money on individual items, he said, it would be better put toward long-term projects. Langley City has the dubious distinction of being the â&#x20AC;&#x153;car theft and break-in capital of Metro,â&#x20AC;? said Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perhaps the money could have been directed toward crime prevention.â&#x20AC;? At budget time, council deals with a list of items and prioritizes them, said Hall. Then, â&#x20AC;&#x153;with no heads up, this just appears on the council agenda and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m told we should be delivering $30,000 to this, with nothing else held up against it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Staff is not trying to spend money because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the end of the year,â&#x20AC;? said Councillor Gayle Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council took a walk in July in the downtown core and we made comments regarding changes weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see,â&#x20AC;? she added. The new benches are in keeping with the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s downtown mas-

Subm itted Ph oto

Langley City Council engaged in a lengthy debate about the funding source and suitability of 14 benches being purchased for the downtown core. terplan, which calls for the current teal and burgundy colour scheme of its fixtures to be switched to basic black. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is exactly what the fund is there for, and I take offense to the insinuation that staff is spending the money on a whim,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is coming on a whim,â&#x20AC;? replied Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had an opportunity to deal with this at budget time when it should have been done.â&#x20AC;? Hall suggested the money might also be better spent on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;under-funded Timms project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little gun shy,â&#x20AC;? he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Earlier we approved $9,000 for stick signs.â&#x20AC;? The actual cost of the benches is $1,350 each; the remaining $435 is the cost of installation, said City CAO Francis Cheung. Hall asked why labour costs were being added when City staff would be installing them as part of the work they are paid to do. Cheung explained that the labour falls outside staffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s regular work and so the work is charged to the City as a capital project. Workers are not being paid twice for doing the same job, he told The Times. Fourteen benches at a cost of $1,785 each, comes to $24,990. The additional $5,000 was included as a contingency, Cheung explained. The design and structural integrity of the benches was also an issue for some. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The benches we are replacing were pretty

skookum,â&#x20AC;? said Hall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t they hold up? Are these eco-friendly and will they stand up better than the ones theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re replacing,â&#x20AC;? he asked. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If someone wanted to put a sledgehammer through (a bench) it would damage it,â&#x20AC;? replied Cheung. The lack of a barrier at the centre of the bench to prevent

overnight use was also raised. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most benches have dividers, probably so people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sleep on them,â&#x20AC;? said Martin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are being put in some high-risk places,â&#x20AC;? agreed Hall, adding itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very likely that â&#x20AC;&#x153;questionable individuals will be using them as a temporary home.â&#x20AC;? Cheung said staff will look into finding

a design that incorporates a centre barrier, but noted that Council had previously approved this design and that a number of the benches have already been installed near the Serenade condo development at the edge of Douglas Park. Questioned about the fate of the old benches, Cheung said they weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely just going to be scrapped. Councillor Rosemary Wallace asked whether any could be sold or recycled, while Martin suggested that any which are still in decent condition could be relocated, as-is, to parks or the paths along the Nicomekl flood plain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I have no problem with selling them and getting the revenue,â&#x20AC;? she added. Council voted to allocate the money for the benches from the enterprise fund, with only Hall opposed.

Teens suspected of having crashed party in same complex From Page 1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was blood everywhere and she still has a large bruise from the other rock,â&#x20AC;? said Kennedy. The teacher tried to shut her garage door and create some distance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the teens threatened to kill our family if we called the police,â&#x20AC;? he said. The couple managed to phone 911 and an ambulance and police did arrive. The police were close by attending a teen party in the complex. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A young girl was having a party and some strangers crashed the party and she

kicked them out,â&#x20AC;? said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are pretty sure it was those four teens, kicked out of the party, that attacked this couple.â&#x20AC;? Unfortunately, the girl who had the party couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t provide a description of the suspects and neither could the victims. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was so busy watching this guyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s knife I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a good look at the guys.â&#x20AC;? Police didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find the teens and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much more to investigate in the case, said Marks. But she noted that it was a disturbing crime, which was violent in nature.

Kennedy is outraged that this senseless violence happened in Langley, and to his girlfriend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It could have been much worse,â&#x20AC;? he points out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are both out more than $600 in deductibles for the damage done to their cars. The couple are still in shock and want neighbours to know the teens are out there and could strike again. A neighbour believes she saw the teens at the Macâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s store on 200 Street, shortly after the attack. The best description offered is that they

teeth whitening! E E R F

are all Caucasian, in their late teens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 16 to 19 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all thin, wearing jeans and hoodies. One, who was carrying a skateboard, has shoulder-length straight brown hair. Another teen was blond, with a pudgy face, but thin build, around 5â&#x20AC;&#x2122;6â&#x20AC;? tall. The neighbour who spoke with The Times said she believes she had previously seen them in the complex, smoking pot in the common area. If you have any information about this crime call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200 or, to remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

The restoration of the Dixon barn took a year and a half to complete and cost the Langley Heritage Society about $120,000. The project, together with the restoration of the farmhouse (below) has won the society an Award of Honour from Heritage B.C.

The Langley Heritage Society has been chosen to receive a Heritage BC ‘Award of Honour’ for their work on the Dixon residence and barn site in Milner. The award is an acknowledgement of the more than two years of work that went into restoring the two First World War-era buildings, which sit along Glover Road, just north of Mufford Cresent. The two-storey house took a full year to restore, explained Langley Heritage Society president Fred Pepin, who spearheaded the project. Renovations included work on the home’s wiring and plumbing, heating system and floors. The Dixon house, built between 1916 and 1918 was one of the few buildings in the area that was wired for electricity at the time, said Pepin. That was thanks to the presence of the B.C. Electric Interurban railway, he explained. Overall, the house was found to have undergone very few alterations over nearly a century, still boasting its original windows and doors. The barn, on the other hand, required a complete overhaul, Pepin said. “It’s completely renovated and new. “I had to look at that barn a long time before deciding how to go about it. It had been severely damaged,” he explained. The building was given a new foundation and new roof and was brought up to current seismic standards. Completed in June, 2012, the total cost of the project — paid for by the Langley Heritage Society — was in the neighbourhood of $200,000. Of that, about $120,000 went toward barn reparations. But the building’s value can’t be measured entirely in dollars, said Pepin. “These barns of this type were rare at the best of times. There are very few left of this design.” It was constructed entirely of wood — without the use of nails — and restored the same way, using mortise and tenon joints and wood doweling pins. The barn’s original timbers, some of which are 40 feet long, were also used in the restoration. With an average of three people working on the project at any given time, it took about a year to complete work on the house and another year and a half to restore the big red barn. The award from the B.C. Heritage Society comes as a welcome acknowledgement of a job well done, said Pepin.

“We are very, very pleased. “It’s because in the last few years, most of the winners of these awards have been million dollar projects in downtown Vancouver. “Most heritage societies like ours can’t compete with that.” The Langley Heritage Society’s restoration of the landmark buildings, which the organization leases from the Township, has served as an incentive to other, similar groups, Pepin said. The project has generated plenty of buzz, and led to a number of inquiries from other Lower Mainland communities, including Maple Ridge and Delta. Each year, Heritage BC recognizes achievement by individuals, associations, businesses and governments from around the province in the field of heritage conservation and earlier this year Township Council nominated the Langley Heritage Society. The 2013 Heritage BC Awards presentation ceremony will take place on Friday evening, Oct. 18 at the Shadbolt Centre of the Arts in Burnaby, at the culmination of the provincial annual conference.

Question langeytimes.com

Langley Township has made the right move in acting quickly to improve student safety along 202A Street. The problem of students walking to and from school has become much more significant in recent years, as a direct result of the growth of Willoughby. R.E. Mountain Secondary is the only high school in the area, and now houses 1,100 students. In addition to a higher number of students walking on the street, which has no sidewalks and only a paved shoulder which is part of the street, there are far more cars on the road. This is because of extra students at Mountain, and parents dropping them off and picking them up; drivers taking detours off 200 and 208 Streets (both of which have been subject to road work recently); and the presence of the Langley Events Centre, which has an access point on 202A Street next to the school. Council is acting prudently by investing in temporary safety measures, such as a curb. This will reduce the likelihood of students being on the street, or vehicle drivers veering onto the paved shoulder. It is not a perfect solution, but it is a good stop-gap until the road is widened and proper sidewalks are put in. The Township needs to use this occasion to take a closer look at all major roads in Willoughby and access routes to schools. As new schools are built in the area, due to the exploding population, students are appearing in areas where they rarely war seen before. At the moment, both 72 and 80 Avenues are not safe access roads. Sidewalks are spotty and the volumes of traffic increases almost daily. At this time of year, the days are getting shorter and visibility is particularly challenging as students are on their way to school. There are numerous other roads which were built to rural standards and are not conducive to students who walk or bike to school. Even 200 Street has no sidewalks for most of its length between 72 and 88 Avenues, and while few students use it, there should be some way that pedestrians and cyclists can use that road safely. The Township and the school district need to do some long-term thinking about pedestrian and bicycle routes throughout Willoughby, particularly taking into account where schools are currently located and will be built.

Do you support the federal government’s efforts to deport José Figueroa based on his association with the FMLN?

Answer online at www.langleytimes.com

Inclusive anthem they

Let’s just do it, Andy. Let’s change two words in our national anthem to include all Canadians. Just change “in all our sons command” to “in all of us command” and “God keep our land, glorious and free,” to something like “We’ll keep our land glorious and free.” I know, you think it’s political correctness run amok — next thing you know, we won’t be allowed to celebrate Christmas. I know, you know lots of women and atheists who happily sing the present lyrics, so why change? I know, “sons” is an allusion to past wars, when it was our sons who fought and died. And I know, this isn’t the biggest issue Canadians face. Should we be wasting our time talking about a few words in a song? The answer, of course, is no. So let’s just do it, without a bunch of palaver. Changing a few words in a song won’t change our patriotism. It won’t disrespect our troops and it’s not kowtowing to Margaret Atwood, a bunch of radical feminists or the godless among us. And forget the tradition argument. “O Canada” has been our national anthem since 1980, hardly eons. Its lyrics have been changed umpteen times during its metamorphosis from 1880 to its 1980 adoption as our national anthem. But two little changes will allow women and non-Christians to be represented by “O Canada.” It’s the Canadian thing to do because Canadians don’t put up with excluding people from things. – Nelson Star

Decision to deport José Figueroa is an obscenity Editor: Having worked with young José Ivan for several years, and being part of this fight, I know the Figueroa family well. This latest unfavourable decision for Mr. Figueroa is an obscenity. There is just no other word for it. Simply because the United States bankrolled, and trained the death squads, the federal government is apparently too afraid of offending the US to affirm what the UN investigation, and many others have already

confirmed — that the FMLN was a resistance organization. No different from the French, Dutch or Italian Resistance against the Nazi’s in the Second World War. I held in my arms a young boy, when the first wave of refugees arrived in Langley years ago, who sat sobbing one day. When I asked why, he told me it was his little brother’s third birthday. When I asked why that would make him cry, he told me the soldiers had walked through his

village and grabbed the boy out of his mother’s arms, thrown him in the air and used him for target practice. In one church alone, the University of Berkley forensic team uncovered the bones of 12 adults and 147 children. As there were only two sides in this civil war, and Mr. Figueroa has been proclaimed a terrorist for speaking out against the slaughter, our federal ministers and Mr. Harper have placed

themselves squarely on the side of the death squads— by their stance they have proclaimed that the slaughter of 80,000 people was a legitimate and necessary thing to do. At El Mozote many of the children and babies were hanged from the trees. Others were herded into a church to be shot like plastic ducks in a carnival gallery. When our elected representatives are willing to abandon ethics and accountability to align

themselves with monsters, because the opinion of the US is more important than justice and ethics, they have religated Canada to the status of a 51st state. The attachment is heartbreaking and enlighting. Mr. Figueroa risked his life to stand against the horror, our ministers have decided to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the monsters. MARGO DONOVAN LANGLEY

Walnut Grove church applauded for stepping up for José

José Figueroa has found sancturary in a church in Walnut Grove rather than be deported to El Salvador, where he once was a member of the FMLN. The resistance organization now forms that country’s government. If he is deported, Figueroa will leave behind his wife and three children.

Editor: Despite the protests of our Conservative MP Mark Warawa, church members, union members and many friends, Langley resident José Figueroa is facing deportation to El Salvador. He would be leaving behind a wife and three children born in Canada. It’s difficult to take pride in our country when I see our federal government taking action against such a model citizen, a long-time contributor to our community and a supportive father and husband. I applaud the Walnut Grove Lutheran Church for offering him sanctuary after learning that Immigration Canada wants him deported back to El Salvador

DAN FERG U S O N L ang l ey Ti m e s

and the Canadian Border Services Agency has issued an arrest warrant. José poses no risk to the security of our country. How can our federal government take this action based on Jose’s past affiliation with the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), which is now the democratically-elected government of El Salvador? As MP Warawa pointed out, the FMLN is not on any terrorist list in Canada and there is an El Salvador embassy in Ottawa. We will continue to advocate for José. SHANE DYSON, ALDERGROVE

Still plenty about B.C. and Canada that needs to be fixed Editor: This province and this country are among the best places to live, yet they need fixing. There is no money for North Shore and other rescue organizations; special needs kids are not getting their share; veterans’ benefits are getting cut back; pensioners who built this country are having to do without and now having to wait longer for their benefits; ticketing or charging marijuana users, when down the street

they freely inject heroin and cocaine at a government site with free needles; thousands of children live under the poverty line. It goes on and on. Yet politicians get gold plated indexed pensions when their terms are up. Senators use us as their personal piggybank; we give foreign aid to countries arming themselves with billions in military hardware; we have civil servants

quitting their jobs and being handed phenomenal severance packages; we had a head of the B.C. Ferries Corporation given a “performance” bonus and now we have that same ferry corporation and TransLink who continually plead poverty, having their executive given more phenomenal bonuses and raises on top of their already exorbitant salaries. This needs to be fixed. What we need is a political party made

up of senior citizens who have the time and the life experience combined with common sense to reset this country’s priorities and get us back on the rails before this train truly runs off the track. If this pattern is allowed to continue then we will be looking at comparable non-sustaining deficits as our American neighbours. FRED DALKEITH ALDERGROVE

On Thursday, Oct 17 at 10:17 a.m. employees of the Township of Langley and the City of Langley will be hiding under their desks. As part of the Great British Columbia ShakeOut Drill, they will practise protecting themselves during an earthquake by dropping to the ground, taking cover under a sturdy desk or table, and holding on for 60 seconds. Residents and businesses are encouraged to do the same with their families and employees. “In an earthquake, there will be no pre-warnings like we have with other incidents, like a fire alarm when there is a fire,” said Township of Langley Safety Advisor Sandra Ciparis. “It is important for us all to develop our safety plan and practice them so that we and our families are ready at a moment’s notice.” ShakeOut drills will be practiced throughout the West Coast of Canada and the United States, and in countries including Italy, New Zealand, and Japan. ShakeOut is also a chance for families, businesses, schools, and organizations to review and update their emergency preparedness plans and supplies, and secure their spaces to prevent damage and injuries.

It is so easy to forget and we take our safety for granted, but we live on the Cascadia fault. GINGER SHERLOCK

“Keeping a tidy work space free of clutter is a good work practice in any circumstance, but it becomes ‘real’ when you get under your desk for the drill,” Ciparis said. “Having a space free of clutter not only saves precious time when getting shelter, it also minimizes the number of items that can shift and fall when the shaking starts.” “We haven’t had a major quake in 313 years,” said Langley Emergency Program Co-ordinator Ginger Sherlock, “but Christchurch had not had one in 88 years and had forgotten.” One of the most populated cities in New Zealand, Christchurch was hit by an earthquake in February 2011 that killed 185 people and injured several thousand. “It is so easy to forget and take our safety for granted, but we live on the Cascadia fault, which has the potential to cre-

ate an earthquake as severe as or greater than the Sumatra earthquake of Dec. 26, 2004,” she said. Sherlock encourages those practicing the ShakeOut drill to wait a further 60 seconds after the “shaking” stops before leaving your secure place. In a real life earthquake, take a minute to insure that items around you have stopped shifting. Whether you are outside, in a car, in a public place, or in your home or office, be aware of your surroundings and make sure objects — from power poles and debris to windows and furniture — are no longer likely to fall and cause injury. ShakeOut BC is presented by the BC Earthquake Alliance Society and the ShakeOut BC Organizing Committee, a coalition of local, provincial, federal, and non-governmental organizations working together to promote earthquake preparedness to British Columbians. The annual drill is modeled after the highly successful “Great California ShakeOut.” Approximately 5,000 mostly small earthquakes are recorded in Canada each year. In the past 100 years, at least nine earthquakes, in or near Canada, have registered a magnitude greater than 7.0. A few of them have caused extensive damage.

It’s time to dump all that difficult-to-dispose garbage LANGLEY TOWNSHIP DROP-OFF EVENT OFFERS SAFE WASTE DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING Leftover paint, antifreeze, bleach, brake fluid, motor oil, fluorescent lights, empty propane tanks, pesticides, and turpentine will be accepted for disposal on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 19 and 20 in Langley Township. The annual Household Hazardous Waste Plus Recycling Drop-Off Event will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Township operations centre at 4700 224 St. Drop-off is free to Township residents and proof of residency is required. Any household product with a skull and cross bones, flames, a skeleton hand, or an explosion on the label can be brought in. For the second year in a row, electronics, small appliances, batteries, smoke detectors, and mercury thermostats will also be accepted. “Electronics may not be hazardous,” said Solid Waste Coordinator Debbie Fleming, “but they can no longer be placed in landfills so the Township felt it made sense to accept them at the collection event and ensure they are properly recycled.” Fleming said people with small amounts of material don’t have to hang on to it until the hazardous waste event. Many items, like small batteries or a can of paint are accepted year round at local recycling facilities and bottle depots. Staff will be handing out information about lo-

A Trusted Name in Strata, Residential, Commercial Property Management

“Over Ɵme I have been very impressed with our manager’s management ability, aƩenƟon to detail, and prompt communicaƟon with owners.” – Strata Plan LMS557

r VEHICLE are committed to upholding a pledge of honesty, reliability and affordability for every job, big or small. “We reflect the honesty and trust you remember from the old-fashioned neighbourhood auto repair shop,” he said. Having been a popular destination for motorists for a quarter of a century and counting, many who come to Budget Break & Muffler Auto Centres are third-generation customers, according to Andy. “We’ve been here in the community for a while and many of the customers are the children/grandchildren of those who came here for servicing back when we first opened. It’s really nice to see that kind of loyalty.” For Andy, the customer interaction and being able to help his customers save time and money is what he enjoys most about his job. “I’ve gotten to know so many great people working here – people who have become like family. And I’m kind of like their family doctor, except I treat their vehicle.” While the customer service is undeniably part of Budget Break & Muffler Auto Centres’ winning formula, it’s the affordability and reliability that has put this auto shop on the map and in the heart of its customers. “We provide great service, but we are also

very honest and reliable,” noted Andy. “At the end of the day we will tell our customer what their vehicle needs and never pressure them – We are very straight forward with what needs to be done and what can be held off.” Nowadays, Andy has noticed many of the younger generation will purchase a brand new car every five years – an exuberant cost he says is unnecessary and hard on the environment. “Just because your warranty is over and it has a few miles on it, doesn’t mean your car is useless and should be discarded,” said Andy, also noting that most repairs at his shop are covered by a 90-day/6000 kilometre parts and labour warranty (some conditions apply). “By taking care of your car and bringing it in for regular servicing, you can extend the life of your car for years to come.” Until Oct. 31, Budget Break & Muffler Auto Centres in Langley City is offering a promotion on Oil Changes – for $49.95, they’ll do a complete oil and filter change with up to five litres of oil, rotate your tires, top up all fluids and conduct a 50-point inspection with report. Stop putting off repairs and make your appointment today! For more information, visit www.budgetbreak.com, or call 604-530-5371.

Douglas Day Banquet Salutes the Pioneer Firefighters J I M M C G REGO R Lan g l ey Ti m e s

This year’s Douglas Day Banquet will be held at noon on Tuesday, November 19th at the Langley Events Centre and this year the Committee will be recognizing the Pioneer Volunteer fighters. In the days before fully manned fire stations and Regional Dispatch Centers, Langley’s Volunteer firefighters were alerted by a series of strategically mounted air raid sirens and a telephone fan out system. When a fire was reported, the sirens were activated by the telephone operators and, when the deafening wail blasted across the community, farmers jumped off their tractors, barbers abandoned half shaven customers and businessmen told their customers to lock up the store and come back and pay later. At one time Langley’s fire protection was divided into six protection zones. Zone 1 responded to Langley City and Milner, Zone 2 looked after Fort Langley and Glenn Valley, Zone 3 was Aldergrove, Zone 4 was Willoughby an north , Zone 5 was Brookswood and south, and Zone 6 was Murrayville and east. Later Zone 7 was added to look after the Otter district and eventually Hall 8 was built in Walnut Grove to service their growing population. No flashy turnout gear was available and many fires were fought in blue jeans and running shoes, slacks and dress shoes or overalls and gum boots, but the dedicated volunteers took their jobs seriously. Two of the Pioneers to be recognized this year, Walter and Jean Makela have the Volunteer firefighter connection as well, as Walt was a volunteer firefighter for Zone 3 in Aldergrove for over 30 years. Walt came to Aldergrove from New West in 1935 when he was six years old. “My father started a body shop here and he and another group of guys formed the fire department back then. I used to hang around their practice sessions when I was a kid and I guess that’s where I developed my interest.” Jean arrived in Aldergrove in 1945 from northern Alberta. Her family farmed and logged in the area and she met Walt in school . “We started seeing each other in high school and this week, we will have been married sixty-one years. There is a group of eight of us that have stayed together here

for all these years and we still share a lot of good times.” Walt took over the body shop, Bill’s Auto Body and Paint Works, in 1947 and his sons have all worked there as well over the years. One of his sons is still in the auto body business today. “There were many times I had to leave the shop to answer the siren,” recalls Walt. The fire calls came in to Eve Ingersoll at the Hotel and she set off the siren on the roof and then started a phone fan out. Later we got radio receivers, Plectrons, and eventually pagers. It was a pretty reliable system. At one point five members all lived on my street and we all jumped in the one car as it went by.” “The original hall was on Fraser Highway but we built a new one on 272nd. St. It was built by all volunteer labor, something you don’t see today.” Jean remembers the ladies chipping in as well. “We didn’t have a formal Ladies Auxiliary but we worked alongside and put curtain rods up and we hung curtains. We planned the picnics and the Christmas parties, the fire department was a family affair.” “We worked hard sometimes,” says Walt, “the Kohler’s fire, Buckerfields and the barn fires. I remember coming around the corner to Wautier’s barn

fire and it looked like a huge loaf of bread on fire. I stayed on the department for about thirty-four years until it started to get too technical and they wanted more of my time. It was becoming more of a part time job, but that’s what happens when the community grows.” The Makelas have seen many changes over the years.”I often ask, ‘What happened to my little town?’ It is so busy now? Says Jean. Walt agrees. “I built this home in 1960 and it was the only house on our seventeen acres. Just one house on a dark, dead-end road surrounded by trees. Now the entire town is built up and we hardly recognize people anymore. We have to go to the Otter Co-op to see people we know and sometimes it’s hard to get out of there.” They don’t have any plans to move from their comfortable home. Jean explains, “We have three sons and a daughter , two grandchildren and two great grand children. They are close by and we enjoy having them over. We’re not ready to downsize yet.” Walter and Jean are proud to be Pioneers. “I think it is wonderful to receive the recognition like we do and it’s great to be able to see everyone at the banquet each year and reminisce,”

says Jean. Alice Johnson, chair of the Douglas Day Committee agrees that all the Pioneers look forward to the event. “We listened to the feedback from last year and the majority liked the noon event. This way we will provide a full hot meal for lunch and hopefully, because it is a daytime event, many of our pioneers that don’t come out in the evening will be able to attend.” The formal celebration of Douglas Day began in Langley in 1946 (there were some banquets held as early as the 1920’s with the Native Sons and Native Daughters acting as hosts). But since 1946, each year there has been a dinner to honour our pioneers. The first couple of decades the event was held at the Fort Langley Community Hall. It was a celebration that included pioneers from Surrey and Delta. Pioneer Balls were also hosted prior to the dinner in preparation of this annual celebration. The early days hosted roughly 30 pioneers but this has since grown to over 200 Pioneers. The banquet outgrew the hall in Fort Langley and moved to the Civic Centre in 1973. Now with close to 400 in attendance, the event is held at the Langley Events Center at 200th. St. and 80th. Ave. This has become a long standing tradition within the community to honour the pioneers of the Township and City of Langley. For many years the Provincial Cabinet would attend the Douglas Day Festivities and hold a cabinet meeting at the Fort. The last time the cabinet attended was on B.C’s 150th birthday. Alice explains how you get to be classed as a pioneer. “A Langley pioneer is someone who is at least 70 years of age; currently lives in Langley; and has lived at least 60 of those years in Langley. Each year some pass away but new ones meet the criteria so the event will have life for years to come. We encourage anyone who meets the criteria or knows of someone who does, to contact the Douglas Day Committee and get on our list.” Tickets for the event are available at the Township of Langley Civic Facility, the Community Centres and the Langley Centennial Museum. If you want your name on the Pioneer list or know someone who should be, contact Lisa Egan at the Township of Langley, (604) 533-6148.

On the third Friday of September the parking lot of The Renaissance retirement residence on 203rd. street was full of police cars, fire vehicles and ambulances. For an assisted living facility, this is usually not a good situation. But if you get closer and smell the fried onions on the barbecue and hear the Salvation Army Jubilee Brass Band playing The Maple Leaf Forever, you realize this is a celebration and not a disaster. General Manager Jane Johnston and The Renaissance staff have been organizing a First Responder Thank-you day for the past two years. “We chose the September week of 9-11 as a time to say thanks to the First Responders in our community,” explains Jane. “This gives the residents of our facility a chance to meet the members of the emergency services in a much more relaxed situation. They can say hi and say thanks for all they do.” “We use the open house as an opportunity to interact with people meet we usually only meet in stressful situa-

tions. Our people can actually sit in an ambulance and get an understanding of what goes on in there. It helps remove some of the fear that comes with calling for assistance.” Captain Gary Proznick Public Education Officer of the Township of Langley Fire Department agrees. “A day like today provides an excellent opportunity for us to send out our safety messages. We can talk to seniors about cooking safety, maintaining smoke alarms and evacuation procedures. The police are here to discuss security and personal safety but overall, we want the residents to know that the First Responders are here to help and that they shouldn’t hesitate to call us in emergency situations.” Many seniors do not know how to seek help or may be reluctant to ask for help out of fear that they appear to be weak or vulnerable. Seniors are very concerned about losing their independence. As a result, they may deny themselves assistance and needlessly suffer. “Our residents first distress call is in house and then our staff will assess the situation and make the call to 9-1-

1 if necessary. We interact with the Fire and Ambulance Service on a regular basis,” says Jane. But seniors living on their own are encouraged not to delay in making a call for help. Too often, seniors will suffer after a fall or other injury until a family member or caregiver comes by. Delaying diagnosis of possible strokes or heart attacks or risking clotting from a break or fracture can make the situation much worse than if it was treated immediately. Renaissance resident Doug Walker has been a caregiver for his wife for

many years. “We used to live here together but her MS worsened so she is now in George Derby. But we had occasion to call 9-1-1 more than once and it was always a positive experience.” “If my wife had a fall we would alert the staff and they are great. They would come in to our room right away, assess the situation and reassure us that help was on the way. It wouldn’t be long until the Fire Department and Ambulance people would show up and they would transport her to the hospital.” “For me, this provided a great peace of mind. There is a great relief when

TESTIMONIALS Thanks so much! From top to bottom I enjoyed your first class service, staff and clear expertise. Fresh Chilliwack corn has never tasted so good. All the best to you and all your staff. Allen Darren, Thank you for doing such a wonderful job, beyond my wildest hopes for natural looking and well-fitting dentures. Lena Tricia, I love my dentures. You are a perfectionist. You make one feel at ease. The atmosphere in your office (whole office) is very warm and welcoming. Lots of smiling faces, makes you really feel at ease. Susan I want to thank you and your staff for being so accommodating to me and my needs. I especially want to thank you for changing my life. I can eat and speak again with confidence. I can’t thank you enough. I truly appreciate all you have done. Linda M. Tricia, Just to say how well my lower partials fit. It is the first time I have had such truly free comfort in eating and talking. They are perfect and thanks to you for your kindness and your caring ways. Thanks again. Regards, Mary H.

Dear Brookswood, How could I ever forget. Every time I see my lovely smile, I am reminded of your great work! In fact, we were on a cruise this past spring, and one dear gentleman told me I had “the nicest smile on the boat.” I couldn’t help but agree. You do great smiles! With thanks, Francis B. I would like to take this moment to say thank you so much for the new look you have given me. I feel so much better about myself and to think I do look ten years younger! I am so glad I found your ad and came to you for help. I am still in awe with what all took place. Never have I had that kind of attention to detail in dentures. Thank you again, take care, Bonnie I just wanted to send you a note of thanks for all your thoughtfulness and caring in the past ten months. It was just awful to lose all of my teeth, but because of all of you, you have made it a lot easier to deal with everything. I love my new teeth. Darren, you did a great job. Thanks again to a great group of caring people. Wendy M. Thank you so very, very much for going above and beyond… and for listening. I truly appreciate it! Fondly, Leslie

Many studies address the connection between isolation and health in the senior community. Seniors living alone often isolate due to embarrassment over health issues or, often health issue are not addressed or recognized when someone is living alone.

Heart Association/American Stroke Associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Get With The GuidelinesÂŽ-Stroke quality improvement program in 2003-10. Emergency medical services (EMS) transported 63.7 percent of the patients, with the rest arriving in various other ways, researchers said. During a stroke emergency, quick treatment is critical. EMS transported 79 percent of those who got to the hospital within two hours of the start of their symptoms. That resulted in earlier arrival, quicker evaluation and faster treatment, said the researchers who found: â&#x20AC;˘ Almost 61 percent of people transported by EMS got to the hospital within three hours of the first symptoms, compared to 40 percent who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use EMS; â&#x20AC;˘ Almost 55 percent using EMS had a brain scan within 25 minutes of hospital arrival, compared to 35.6 percent who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use EMS; â&#x20AC;˘ Of patients eligible for a clotbusting drug, 67.3 percent using EMS received it within three hours of symptom onset, compared to 44.1 percent who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use EMS.

Patients don’t lose time going to one hospital only to be referred to another that can provide more advanced care if needed, whether that’s drugs to bust up the clot or device procedures to remove it. Renaissance resident Audrey Terry agrees that calling for help is the first thing you should do. Audrey has been a resident for eight years and recalls a night when she put her back out and couldn’t move. “ I was in severe pain and I couldn’t move so I called staff and they called 9-1-1. The Paramedics that arrived were so caring and gentle, it was like I was their mother,” shares Audrey.” “They did an assessment and stayed right beside me. It was the middle of the night and I’m sure they were tired but they never showed it.” “They asked lots of questions, found the source of the pain, calmed me down when I screamed and packaged me for the trip. The ride was bumpy and I felt every one but they joked and helped take my mind off the pain. Whatever they are paid, it should be doubled.” For those Seniors that choose to

LOCAL TEACHER PENS LONG-PLANNED BOOK

PLAYERS OPEN THEIR SEASON WITH CANADIAN COMEDY The set has been built, painted and decorated, the play analyzed and the characters developed. The actors are well-rehearsed, the costumes produced, the soundscape created, the lighting designed, the posters printed and distributed, the programs prepared, the front-of-house volunteers signed up and the theatre is ready. Now all the Langley Players need is an audience to come and see their play season-opening play — That Darn Plot. The play was written by Canadian playwright, David Belke and is being directed by Marko Hohlbein. Hohlbein won best director at the Community Theatre Coalition Awards (CTC) in 2012 for Mending Fences, a

play he directed for Surrey Little Theatre. Belke lives in Edmonton and his first full length play was produced for the 1990 Edmonton Fringe Theatre Festival, the largest theatre festival in North America. Playwright Mark W. Transom has a single night in which to create a new play. As the hours stretch on, the play starts taking on a life of its own. Or is it his life? And why does his estranged son keep popping into the plot? This play gives audiences a fascinating look into Belke’s writing process as well as a behind-the-scenes look into the rehearsals in the greenroom. “I love witty well-written Canadian plays and That Darn Plot is not only

Doggonit, she’s gone and done it

funny, but also takes a look at a man who has trouble connecting with the ones he loves. “And that’s what makes for a great play and great entertainment,” said Hohlbein. Starring Maple Ridge’s Brian Johnston as Mark Transom, That Darn Plot runs Thursdays to Sundays from Oct. 24 to Nov. 23 at the Langley Playhouse, 4307 200 St. in Brookswood. Show times are 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. All tickets are $15. For reservations, please call 604-534-7469, or email reservations@langleyplayers. com.

Life-long Langley resident and teacher Chantelle Saumier has dreamed of becoming a children’s book author ever since she started teaching. Inspiration finally came in the form of her rescued husky-shepherd puppy, Vinnie, who she unexpectedly adopted while on vacation in Ontario. Vinnie’s penchant for finding trouble provided the perfect material for a children’s book series. The first two books in the series, Vinnie! Star of the Show and Vinnie! The Hurricane, are now available. With their comic timing, bold, watercolour illustrations and featuring the relatable character Vinnie, everyone is sure to enjoy these books. Saumier, and illustrator Vanessa Steunenberg, also a Langley teacher, will hold an open house, book launch and signing event on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at Douglas Park Recreation Centre, 20550 Douglas Cres.

Ukulele Ensemble baton passed from father to son CONCERT PAYS TRIBUTE TO RETIRE D DIRE CTOR B REN D A AND E R SO N Ti me s Re po r t e r

Think of it as Langley Ukes — The Next Generation. With the retirement of longtime ensemble director Peter Luongo, the baton has been passed to his son, Paul. Paul Luongo performed as part of the Langley Ukulele Ensemble for 11 years before returning to direct the senior B ensemble. Now in his third year in that job, he is adding senior A group director to his resumé. On Saturday, Oct. 19 Paul will make his public debut as director of the LUE, with a concert — titled Ukulele Masters in Concert — at Christian Life Assembly in Langley. Audiences shouldn’t find the transition too shocking, he said. After all, much of what he’s learned about music and directing came straight from his father. “You’ll get the same cheesy jokes,” said Paul.

It will just be a “younger, slightly taller Luongo, who still has slightly more hair” telling them, he quipped. His style of direction is much like his father’s as well. “I’ve been saying ... ‘the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.’” Paul, 24, has been teaching ukulele since he was 16 years old. He recently completed an undergraduate degree in education at UVic and is currently working on his practicum. In December, he will begin applying for jobs with area school districts, he said. It was this interest in education, combined with Paul’s natural ability to both play and teach music that spurred a conversation between father and son about the succession of the LUE. “I started teaching band and building confidence and dad saw that,” said Paul.

Paul Luongo has taken over the direction of the Langley Ukulele Ensemble, from his dad, Peter. Paul will direct his first official concert on Oct. 19 at CLA.

You & The Law

PRESENTS Buying or selling a business Thinking of buying a new business or selling your existing business? Here are a few points to keep in mind. If the business is owned by a partnership or individual, selling it means selling its assets. But if the business is owned by a company, the transaction can be structured either as a sale of assets or a sale of shares in the company. Which way should you go? Sellers generally end up paying less income tax if they sell shares instead of assets. For this reason, they often push for a share sale, and are willing to accept a significantly lower price for shares than they would be prepared to accept for an asset sale. Buyers can also benefit from a share sale, but to a much lesser extent. For example, the company being acquired may hold rights or permits that are difficult to transfer or acquire directly. On the negative side, buying shares means the buyer may inherit a company with undisclosed liabilities, such as pending lawsuits or reassessments for underpaid income tax. These claims can surface long after the deal has closed and the seller has received all of his money. That risk alone is often enough to outweigh any favourable pricing which the seller is prepared to put on a share sale. A further disadvantage for the buyer in a share deal is that he loses the opportunity to allocate the purchase price to depreciable assets and thereby reduce his future tax bill. Similarly, the company being bought may have significant accrued gains on its capital property, which can result in a hefty tax bill when these assets are subsequently sold. For these and other reasons, buyers usually gravitate towards buying assets instead of shares wherever possible. Reconciling these competing interests of buyer and seller is a key part of

negotiating a fair agreement, and should be guided by advice from both your lawyer and accountant. Otherwise, you may inadvertently commit yourself to a transaction structure that is far from ideal. Once the parties have loosely settled on the key business points, it’s normal to sign a letter of intent, which records the agreed points and gives the buyer the opportunity during a defined period to take a closer look at the business records. This is called a “due diligence” review. If the buyer doesn’t like what he sees, he can call off the deal. The buyer normally agrees to keep strictly confidential any information he acquires during the course of such review. If the buyer is satisfied with the results of his review, then the parties normally proceed with settling the terms of a formal agreement. The formal agreement addresses many key areas. For example, the buyer will usually want a “non-compete” clause that restricts the seller from competing with the buyer after the deal closes. It has to be carefully worded – if the clause “over-reaches” what a court would consider reasonable (in terms of time frame, geographical area or scope of activities), it can be found unenforceable. The formal agreement should also spell out the seller’s representations and warranties concerning the business and (if applicable) the company, and the buyer’s recourse if there’s a breach of those clauses. Your legal advisor can help guide you through the maze of available options to reach the best deal possible in your particular circumstances.

Both men recognized that it was a natural fit. Despite the fact it will be Paul’s first official show, the Oct. 19 concert, held at Christian Life Assembly, will be a musical tribute to Peter, who will step in and direct a few of the numbers he’s best known for, said Paul. “It’s an opportunity for us to honour my dad and I think he’s done outstanding work over the years. I couldn’t be a more proud son.” Ukulele Masters in Concert begins at 7:30 p.m. at the church at 21277 56 Ave. Tickets for the concert are available through Paypal or by calling 604-340-UKES (8537).

Gluten-Free! It’s the current buzzword – but gluten-free does not necessarily mean “healthy” or “good for weight management!” The recent explosion of gluten-free products is a boon to those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, but they can contain as many or more calories, sugars and/or fats as the products they replace. It’s still important to read the nutrition label to know exactly what you’re getting. While the Atkins Diet craze has died down, emphasizing protein while de-emphasizing carbohydrates (especially processed carbohydrates) can still be helpful when it comes to losing weight. You need about a gram of protein for every three pounds of body weight per day, but choose your protein sources wisely: fish, poultry, eggs, beans, legumes, nuts, tofu, and low-fat or non-fat dairy products. A good rule-of-thumb is to avoid diets which eliminate food groups or promote a specific food, but over the years several foods have unwittingly (and unnecessarily) garnered a bad reputation for

Gators take top spot The Walnut Grove Gators took three of six team titles — as well as the overall title — at the Langley district cross-country championships. The race was held last week (Oct. 7) at Aldergrove Regional Park. The Gators runners won both the junior boys and senior boys titles as well as the senior girls title. Brookswood won the junior girls title while R.E. Mountain won the Grade 8 boys title. There was no title in the Grade 8 girls division. Up next for the runners is the Fraser Valley championships, which will be held Oct. 23 at Abbotsford’s Clearkbrook Park. The season will culminate with the B.C. high school provincial championships, which will also be held at Aldergrove Regional Park (Nov. 2). Top three finishers for each division at districts were: Grade 8 girls (3.5km) Brookswood’s Kayla Weltzin crossed the finish line in 14:01, well ahead of the pack. Finishing second and third were a pair of Abbotsford Christian runners, Heather Saelman (15:05) and Helen Job (15:22). Grade 8 boys (3.5km) Mountain’s Jordan Schmidt edged out classmate Zach Wyatt by 10 seconds for top spot. Schmidt finished in 12:28 while Wyatt crossed at 12:38, which was just ahead of D.W.

Growing demand for food banks From Page 25

“And partnering with the BCHL on a league-wide campaign stays true to our goal of taking a national passion and making sure the impact is made on the local communities of those supporting the food banks through hockey.” “We encourage and empower the local people to help those around them,” Loat said. “You have the power and momentum of something that is national in scope, but the impact is something that is regional.” Loat, a 24-year-old who recently completed his MBA at Simon Fraser University, recalled attending an Express game in Coquitlam a few years ago. He began chatting with

Pilots soar to victory over Kodiaks Bradley Parker’s third-period powerplay goal turned out to be the winner as the Abbotsford Pilots held on for a 4-3 victory over the Aldergrove Kodiaks. Parker’s goal with six minutes remaining made it a 4-2 game and proved to be huge as three minutes later, Scott McHaffie pulled the Kodiaks within a goal.

The two junior B hockey rivals squared off at Aldergrove Arena on Oct. 9 and with the win, the Pilots took a one-point lead over the Kodiaks for top spot in the PJHL’s Harold Brittain Conference. The loss dropped Aldergrove to 6-3-0-0 and was their second defeat in three games after a five-game winning streak.

After a scoreless first period, Adam Callegari put the home side ahead 1-0 with a power play goal. That stood as the game’s only goal until late in the second when Kolten Grieve and Jarrett Martin struck for goals 3:42 apart. The Pilots’ Joel Atkinson and Aldergrove’s Quinncy Leroux traded goals

in the first half of the third period. Aldergrove lost despite outshooting Abbotsford 50-33 as Pilots goaltender Zachary Station made 47 saves to earn first star honours. The Kodiaks next home game is at the Aldergrove Arena tomorrow (Wednesday) against the North Delta Devils.
