Plans to provide the community with a new recreation centre and pool in Aldergrove are being developed and the Township of Langley wants residents to have their say.

A proposed new community centre is planned for the former Aldergrove Elementary School site on Fraser Highway. Two open houses will be held this month by the Township to collect input on two facility concept plans.Th e fi rst open house will be held Saturday,

Nov. 17, 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at the Alder-grove Kinsmen Community Centre, 26770 - 29 Ave. Th is public input opportunity will be avail-able before and aft er the Aldergrove Joint Town Hall meeting that will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. at the same location. Th e second open house will take place Tues-

day, Nov. 27, 7 to 9 p.m. at the Aldergrove Com-munity Secondary School Library, 26850 - 29 Ave.

“Th e new Aldergrove community recreation centre is a signifi cant investment that will pro-vide the Township with leisure opportunities for generations to come,” said Township Councillor Bob Long, Chair of Mayor Jack Froese’s Alder-grove Community Recreation Centre Standing Committ ee.

“It is important that decisions about this project are made with the public’s opinions in mind. I encourage everyone to take the time to provide input. We really want the community’s feedback.”

Residents can also have their say online.From November 15 to 30, the public can learn

more about the proposed plans and make their choice via www.placespeak.com\aldergrove-communitycentre or simply link to it from the Township’s website www.tol.ca

• Option One would see the facility located at the north end of the site, near Fraser High-way, and connected to the existing heritage schoolhouse. It would provide a modest leisure pool and a six-lane, 25-metre lap pool, both constructed indoors for year-round use, as well as fi tness activity and multi-purpose rooms, a single sheet ice arena, and lobby space with food services. Th e Aldergrove Library would be relo-cated to the heritage schoolhouse. Option One

Th e YWCA Metro Vancouver is expanding its Single Mothers’ Support Services program to Aldergrove and four other new communities, thanks to a three-year $450,000 commitment by three B.C. credit unions.

Th e YWCA’s Single Mothers’ Support Program works to ensure women parenting alone are able to achieve personal and economic independence. Funding commit-ments by Coast Capital Savings, Vancity and Envision Financial, a division of First West Credit Union, will allow new support

groups to be established in Surrey, Port Coquitlam, Aldergrove, Maple Ridge and Abbotsford.

Previously, single mothers had to travel into Vancouver to take advantage of the service.

Th e YWCA program expan-sion is the result of the vision of three female credit union CEOs

� Coast Capital’s Tracy Redies, Vancity’s Tamara Vrooman, and First West’s Launi Skinner � who decided to pool resources to ensure much-needed services are available to more single moth-ers in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

� e Greater Vancouver Zoo says preliminary results from a necropsy on Jafari the gira� e indicate that living in a cold climate didn’t contribute to his death.

� e zoo put out a press release on � ursday saying it is performing an extensive investigation into the recent death of 12-year-old Jafari. � e gira� e is the third to die at the zoo in one year. � e other two gira� es also died in the month of November, 2011.

� e SPCA is also doing its own investi-gation into the gira� e’s death. � is is the second time the SPCA has investigated the zoo.

� e Vancouver Humane Society (VHS) is calling on the zoo to stop acquiring gira� es and to relocate its remaining gira� e Pompy to a facility in a warmer climate. � e � ve-year-old gira� e just arrived at the zoo in the summer to be a companion for Jafari. Gira� es are herd animals.

It was the VHS who claimed that Jafari likely died from losing fat stores because of living in a cold climate. � at

accusation prompted the zoo to � re back with the pathologist’s preliminary � ndings.

According to the zoo, Dr. Chelsea Himsworthan, an independent vet-erinary anatomic pathologist, said pre-liminary results have shown that “Jafari was in excellent body condition with ample body fat stores. � is � nding has

allowed us to rule out the so-called ‘peracute mortality syndrome’ of gira� es as a cause of death. Testing is ongo-ing on the samples that were received from the post-mortem.”

Jafari came to the zoo at six months old. During the 12 years that Jafari has lived in

Aldergrove, he has been very healthy, said Dr. Bruce Burton, the zoo’s veteri-narian.

Last November, Eleah was found col-lapsed in her heated barn and just like Jafari, was considered healthy prior to her death. But she was 23. Her death had come only a week a� er her son Amryn, three-years-old, died unexpectedly. Amryn was Eleah and Jafari’s o� spring.

� e necropsies done of both gira� es were inconclusive as to what killed them.

As community devel-oper for the United Way’s “Be� er at Home” pro-gram, Deirdre Goudriaan has the task of estimat-ing how many Langley seniors are isolated and or vulnerable.

� e majority of older adults wish to live inde-pendently as long as pos-sible but as the risk of

physical and cognitive decline increases with age, the risk of vulnerabil-ity also increases.

“We are living longer and the number of resi-dents over the age of 80 is increasing and projected to grow,” said Goudriaan.

“As we age, other risk factors increase such as social isolation as we lose our friends and loved

ones. Geographic distanc-es for outlying areas like Aldergrove and Walnut Grove diminish access to suitable transporta-tion. � is is a particular concern for seniors in Langley since community connections decrease the likelihood of elder abuse, neglect or self-neglect. � e vast majority of our seniors are socially active,

healthy and capable but we also have others who struggle with day to day tasks that the agile take for granted.”

Langley has an oppor-tunity to launch the new Be� er at Home program with the help of the United Way to provide non-medical home sup-port services such as light housekeeping, grocery shopping, transportation to appointments, simple home repairs, friendly visiting, light yard work, snow shoveling.

“In order for this to happen, we need the sup-port and the will of the community to identify priorities and make this program a reality,” said Goudriaan. “I encour-age all seniors and stake-holders to a� end the community meeting on Nov. 26, from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Douglas Recreation Centre, 20550 Douglas Cres., where the � ndings of this project will be presented along with a � nal chance to pro-vide input.”

An Abbotsford couple whose home was damaged by � re on Sunday is not yet sure what their next step will be, a family friend said Tuesday. Marilyn Lechner said Bill and Annie Connor, who did not have insurance, are still trying to determine whether their home can be repaired.

Members of Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service (AFRS) escorted the family through their gu� ed home on Tuesday to see what per-sonal items could be salvaged.

� ey were too overwhelmed to speak with media, an AFRS repre-sentative said on the scene.

� e home at 29063 Downes Rd. – just east of Bradner Road – was heavily damaged a� er a chimney � re began in the basement at about 10 a.m. on Sunday and spread throughout the home. Although � re crews arrived quickly on the scene, the home su� ered serious smoke, � re and water damage.

Lechner said, despite initial reports, this was not the home that Bill, 88, had lived in since the age of two. Rather, his family purchased the property when he was two, and he � rst lived in a di� erent house on the site. He and Annie, 80, married when she was 16 and he was 24, and they were given six acres of the property on which they built a new home, Lechner said.

� at residence was destroyed by an electrical � re, and the couple then built the home that was dam-aged in Sunday’s � re.

Lechner said the Connors were unable to get insurance because their chimney did not have the required insert, but they could not a� ord the $10,000 to $15,000 that it would cost to add it.

Bill worked for more than 20 years as a truck driver for Dairyland, but the couple are on a limited income, Lechner said.

� e couple had been out for their daily morning visit to the A&W fast-food restaurant in

Aldergrove when they returned home to see � re crews on the scene. � eir only child, John, who lives with them, was safe.

AFRS emergency support services assisted the family with accessing alternative accommoda-tion, but Lechner said that cov-ered a hotel stay only through Wednesday. She said she and her husband, Barry, have booked three additional days for them at a hotel in Aldergrove. � en, the Connors will � gure out what their next step will be.

Lechner said Bill has indicated that he does not want to sell his family’s property. “He wants to stay there until he passes away,” she said.

Meanwhile, Lechner is trying to set up a trust fund to help the Connors with whatever costs they will incur.

Members of the public wanting to know how to help are asked to call AFRS emergency adviser Susan Rai at 604-864-5694 or [email protected]

Family deals with a� ermath of � re

By VIKKI HOPESAldergrove Star

An Abbotsford man was taken to hospital on Nov. 7 a� er an appar-ent � ght with his brother resulted in his su� ering serious burns.

Just a� er 7 p.m., Abbotsford Fire Rescue Service was called to the 27000-block of Myrtle Avenue – west of Lefeuvre Road – for a reported RV � re. When they

arrived, they found that the motor home on the back of the property was engulfed in � ames. A 31-year-old man on the scene was su� er-ing from serious burns and smoke inhalation, but was conscious and was taken to hospital for treatment of non life-threatening injuries.

“Upon arrival, a� er talking to the family members, it appears that there may be some sort of

an assault between two brothers where one may have started the � re,” said Abbotsford Police Sgt. Amar Kingra on the scene.

� e other brother, 34, � ed the scene in a vehicle before crews arrived, but police were able to track him down in Mission just before 9 p.m. He was turned over to the Abbotsford Police, and arson charges are being recommended.

VICTORIA – Before the 1,200-page, $25-million Cohen Commission report on the Fraser River sockeye salmon � shery slips beneath the waves, allow me to dip my toe into the river of data that has � owed by in the past three years.

If your information on this hugely complex subject consisted of skimming a few news stories or watching pro-testers on TV, you will likely conclude what urban people have been indoctrinated with for years.

� e whole issue is salmon farms and whether they are bad or catastrophic.

“Freeze new salmon farms on sockeye migration route: Cohen” said the headline on a Black Press report. � ose who read past the headline would learn that Justice Bruce Cohen recommended a freeze on further salmon farms around the Discovery Islands group near Campbell River until 2020. It’s up to the industry to show by that time that the risk is “minimal,” or farms there should be shut down.

A B.C. Salmon Farming Association spokesman said only nine of 70 B.C. salmon farms are in that area. � ere are no current applications for more.

Let’s say you decide to plunge in, and download the full report from www.cohen-commission.ca. If you go to Volume 2, page 102, you will see a series of graphs that show sockeye runs from riv-

ers other than the Fraser, from Washington all the way up to Alaska.

It’s not a pre� y sight. From Washington up to the Central Coast, the Skeena, Nass and up to Yukon’s Klukshu and Alaska’s Alsek, most runs show a decline starting in the 1980s or early 1990s.

� is includes runs that migrate down the west side of Vancouver Island, away from salmon farms.

Alaska doesn’t allow farms, preferring “ranching” – a strat-egy that � oods the ocean habi-tat with millions of hatchery � sh. � ese are commercially � shed and marketed as “wild.”

B.C.’s North Coast has never had salmon farms. � e area has been subject to a moratorium since an NDP-controlled legislative com-mi� ee gave its verdict on the problem in 2008.

� e popular villain in those days was sea lice. Skeena MLA Robin Austin chaired the commi� ee that called for an end to open-pen salmon farms in � ve years. � en-agriculture minister Pat Bell approved one NDP recommendation, a moratorium on salmon farms in North Coast waters.

� is was a� er the Paci� c Salmon Forum conducted its own four-year study, led by former � sheries minister John Fraser.

Similar to Cohen, Fraser concluded that there is no simple answer to this complex problem.

And they agreed that

salmon farms don’t explain it. Cohen’s report makes it clear that the problem is far larger than could possibly be explained by salmon farms.

How about logging impact?

Cohen concludes a� er much testimony that stream protection has improved sig-ni� cantly during the time of observed sockeye decline. Impact from extra runo� due to pine beetle infestation couldn’t be evaluated.

Poaching on the Fraser? Cohen didn’t get around to that. His biggest concern was climate change, warming sen-sitive river waters and a� ect-ing ocean conditions.

During the Cohen com-mission hearings, the 2010 Fraser sockeye run came in gangbusters, with 35 million � sh. One leading theory is that ash from an Alaska vol-cano fertilized the ocean, pro-ducing algae that supported more salmon feed.

Could it be that salmon ranching from Alaska, Japan and elsewhere is simply depleting the food supply? � at too is inconclusive.

Finally, Tides Canada, a U.S. front group that diverts a� ention from U.S. salmon and oil tankers, spent $25,000 to publicize Cohen evidence. But only as it relates to B.C. salmon farms, and how bad they are.

Salmon mystery far from solved

IRICE: Ingrid Rice’s View

A day for child health learning, development

Aldergrove Star

On Wednesday, Nov. 21, from 1 to 7 p.m., the Langley Early Child Development Commi� ee will host CHILD (Child Health Infor-mation Learning and Development) Day at the Coast Hotel and Convention Centre in downtown Langley, 20393 Fraser Highway.� e event is intended to provide parents and caregivers of children

aged 0-6 years with an opportunity to talk to experts about their child and services available in the community. It brings together public health nurses, child mental health, child development, child care, and speech and language experts as well as representatives of immigrant services, and agencies who deliver parenting and family resource programs in Langley.

“In the past, CHILD Days have been smaller events held at local elementary schools during school hours,” said Karen Custodio, Chair of the Early Child Development Commi� ee, and Early Years Manager for Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services.

“� is has made it more di� cult for working parents to a� end. We’re excited to be able to o� er this event at di� erent hours in con-junction with the Lower Mainland Annual Toy and Product Fair.”

“All the research says that a healthy start for a young child has the most impact on a person’s life. Right now parents have to work harder than ever to make ends meet and to � nd time to spend with their children. � is event is focused on helping parents and caregiv-ers give their children the best start,” said Jenilee Woods, Manager of Early Childhood Programs at Langley Community Services and member of the Early Child Development Commi� ee.

“We’re very pleased to be able to o� er child minding at the event so that parents can bring their children and know that they are cared for while they a� end CHILD Day or the Product Fair.

Langley CHILD Day is one of the products of the Langley Early Child Development Commi� ee, made up of early child develop-ment professionals from throughout the Langley’s including rep-resentation from non-pro� t societies, School District 35, Langley Township, City of Langley and Ministry of Children and Family Development. CHILD Day is made possible with the funding and assistance of Langley Township, City of Langley, Aldergrove Credit Union and the United Way of the Lower Mainland.

A municipality that continues to grow will require larger libraries, and in some cases that may mean relocating existing branches and opening new ones.

But on Nov. 5, Langley Township council decided that before it se� les on one option, it wants the cost of all three suggestions proposed by a consultant.

� e options are:1: Expand or renew libraries in existing neighbourhoods to

meet the 10-year projected population growth, and possibly pro-vide a new library in Willoughby within 10 years;

2: Develop a large (40,000 square foot) library in a Willoughby neighbourhood within 10 years; any expansion of existing libraries would likely occur beyond the 10-year time frame, and

3: Develop a smaller, central library in Willoughby, while mak-ing the expansion of existing libraries the highest priority in years six to 10 of the plan.

� ere was support among council members for this option, which includes the relocation of Aldergrove Library to a new community centre/ice rink/swimming pool on the site of the vacant Aldergrove Elementary School.

Option 3 also suggests relocating the Brookswood branch to a community facility, and expanding Fort Langley library.

A majority of council voted to get costs for all three options before deciding on one.

� e plan, council was told, would cost $11.4 million over 15 years. � is does not include increased costs associated with enlarging libraries.

A report included data on an analysis of library space and the population. Today, there are 106,276 people in Langley, and 25,350 square feet of library.

� e analysis showed that the estimated population of 127,560 in 2021 would require more than 76,000 square feet of library space, almost 50,000 square feet more than exists at the present time.

Library plan explored


“I am inspired by the generos-ity of the three credit unions and the exceptional women who lead them – Tracy Redies, Tamara Vrooman and Launi Skinner,” says Janet Austin, CEO YWCA Metro Vancouver.

“� ey show us the true mean-ing of co-operation and they demonstrate that it is possible for competitors to collaborate to drive positive social change. With their support, the YWCA can create the conditions for many single mothers to build be� er futures for themselves and their children.”

Approximately 15 per cent of families in Langley are run by single mothers, the majority of whom reside in the city centre. Aldergrove has the next high-est population of lone parents and is a more isolated commu-nity due to poor transit. Recent research says that Langley and Aldergrove are in need of more services that will support these single mothers. At present, there are a wide range of services for families but no programs speci� -cally designed for single mothers in this area.

� e YWCA’s Single Mothers’ Support Services expansion ini-tiative will help address this need in Aldergrove. It will mean that more single mothers can eas-ily access these crucial services locally and gain the con� dence, knowledge and tools to seek employment, go back to school or � nd safe, a� ordable hous-ing and child care among many other things. A support group is now available at Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services.

Sarah Neault is a single mom to a six-month-old baby, Solomon, and lives in Aldergrove. Until now, she has had to spend signi� cant time in the car traveling into downtown Vancouver to take part in the existing Single Moms’ Support Groups. She calls them her life-line, thanks to the skills, experi-ence, training and networks she has gained through the service, despite some of the challenges she has experienced from being a single mom in a more isolated area.

In an interview with � e Aldergrove Star, Sarah said, “Just a� er ge� ing pregnant — it was a surprise — I ‘googled’ single moms programs and found the Y, so I emailed Janice and she said they didn’t have anything yet for new moms; the babies had to be 18 months old. She sent me some information on things to do to get ready.

“� en a couple months later she emailed me again and said they were going to start a moms and babies program, so I joined that a year ago in October, while I was three months pregnant.

“� e biggest help has been the support of the other women. It’s been amazing having women in the same position, who have been through it recently. We

have had moms with babies up to 18 months old in our group, as well as pregnant moms. So just seeing and hearing their stories and understanding it’s possible to do it on your own alleviates some of the anxieties that came up early on.

“We get together and orga-nize di� erent things that we wanted to do; ge� ing someone to come in and help us with � nancial planning, somebody that teaches infant First Aid, we even had someone come in and do family photos for us because it’s hard when you’re a single mom ge� ing pictures of you and your baby unless it’s arm’s length away with an iPhone or some-thing.

“We meet downtown at the YWCA child care but I live in Aldergrove, I moved out here when I was � ve or six months pregnant just to take a li� le breather and save some money. I moved in with my parents but my dad passed just 12 days before Sol was born, and so I’m sticking around here for a while until both mom and I are ready to be on our own again.

“Mom is doing well. I think it’s been really good for both of us to have Solomon. He helps us to focus on the present and the future. He’s just such a happy li� le man. Even at the worst of times he’s got a giggle for you.

“I did work downtown in Gastown for an architecture � rm up until my maternity leave and I’ll be back at work mid-March. I got a full year o� , which was really nice.

“We go every Saturday, our group. I’ve made some real-ly good friends so I o� en go Tuesdays, we have an informal brunch where people drop in, depending on if they’re avail-able, just to kinda hang out. Sometimes I’ll go in one more day depending on what’s going on.

“We send lots of text mes-sages, email back and forth, sometimes it’s exchanging pho-

tos because we want to see each other’s babies as they grow.

“We met the (credit union CEOs) when they announced the additional funding so we could have some support out in the Fraser Valley. Which will be really nice, the idea is to have a single moms group in Aldergrove so we can make local connections.

“Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services’ new support group is in the works. I think I’m going to do both for the time being because I have such a strong connection with the moms in Vancouver, and that’s the only moms and babies group so far. It was the only one in B.C.; it was originally a pilot program. � e group in Aldergrove will be for any single moms with kids up to the age of 18 years old. It’ll be a di� erent type of group of women, and it’ll be interesting to get to know single moms at other stages in life but I think I would miss the ladies from my group too much to completely cut o� contact.

“So I’ll do both for now and hope that they expand the moms and babies program all over B.C. eventually.

“One of the really nice things we get at the moms and babies program at the Y are diapers, people donate diapers. � ey also donate grocery gi� cards and both of those really help myself and the other moms. To get through week to week, makes a big di� erence. And in general the Y is so supportive of single moms and I appreciate that,” said Sarah.

Earlier this summer a three-year partnership was approved with each credit union con-tributing $50,000 per year to the program. � is will fund six single mothers’ support groups, providing participants with the resources to gain employ-ment, go back to school, or � nd safe and a� ordable housing. Participating moms will also receive child care information,

legal education and other com-munity support.

Tracy Redies, President & CEO, Coast Capital Savings, told � e Aldergrove Star that, “About a year ago I was at a YWCA Women of Distinction program and they had a section on some of the issues facing single moms, and I was just struck by how lucky I had been in my life and just how di� cult it must be for for single moms trying to raise children on their own.

“I’ve had a tremendous admiration for Janet Austin and the YWCA for what they do in the community, sel� essly, all the time and I thought why couldn’t the three of us, Tamara Vrooman, President and CEO Vancity, and Launi Skinner, CEO, First West Credit Union, and I come together to help Janet in helping these single moms, it would be the right thing to do. We contacted Janet and started looking for a pro-gram that would meet the needs of these single moms.

“� ere are never enough ser-vices and unfortunately in this day and age there is a lot of pres-sure on governments to fund ser-vices. I really do feel businesses need to step up and help these organizations, help these people who are less fortunate.

“� e nice thing about this program is it is extending the program to six communities, so the YWCA can provide these services closer to the homes of these women. We’ve always been about giving back to the com-munities we work in, we’re just delighted to help,” said Redies.

Moms will meet weekly with a trained facilitator while their children are in child care at a local community services centre. All support groups are o� ered in partnership with local commu-nity service providers.

public noticeBe Wild Animal AwareLangley Township is full of wildlife habitat and people share the area with animals including bears, cougars, and coyotes. Residents throughout Langley need not be continually on alert, but action can be taken to deter wild animals if they are spotted in your area. Parents should teach children what to do if they encounter these animals, especially if they play by themselves in areas that wildlife frequent or have been seen in the past.

To help people coexist with creatures that are simply trying to survive but can be dangerous if provoked, the following information is offered:

Bears: during the winter months, bears are in hibernation and do not interact with humans for three or four months.

Cougars: can have kittens throughout the year and family groups can be seen at any time. Cougars survive on natural food sources found in the wild, primarily deer.

Cougar attacks on humans are highly unlikely. However, if you encounter a cougar, do not run. Pick children up immediately and talk to the cougar in a con� dent voice. Act big by waving sticks and branches, and back away slowly while still facing the cougar. If it attacks, � ght back.

Coyotes: have the largest population of potentially dangerous wildlife in the area and can be seen year round, even in residential areas. Family groups have been regularly seen around Langley.

Coyotes are bold and easily lose their natural fear of people. Never feed a coyote. If you encounter a coyote, scare it off by making loud noise or throwing something at it to make it afraid. Never ignore a coyote. If it

continues to approach, do not run. Maintain eye contact, pick up small pets or children, and slowly move to an area of increased activity.

In Residential Areas:Keep pet food inside. Garbage is the biggest attraction for bears so keep it secure and inaccessible to wildlife. Do not leave garbage cans out overnight: keep them in the house, a locked garage, or secured outbuilding that cannot be broken into by large, smart bears. Put them out only on the morning of collection. If you are worried about odour, keep garbage in the freezer until collection day. Feel free to use bird feeders in the winter months. Birds need nutrition from seeds during this time of year, and the bird food will not attract bears, as they are away hibernating.

In Agricultural Areas:Protect your investment by keeping fences secure and free of damage that predators can use for access. Coyotes burrow, so ensure surrounding netting goes deep into the ground. Be vigilant with livestock and keep them secure. Farm animals are usually killed at night, so bring them inside in the evening.

It is an offence to attract wildlife into a residential neighbourhood.

Those who do not take steps to deter bears and other wild creatures can face a � ne of up to $575.

To report poachers or polluters or if you have a problem with wildlife call:

Langley Community Chorus will present a Christmas concert series titled “Merry Fa La La!” in three Aldergrove and Langley venues in coming weeks.

� e Aldergrove venue will be St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church, in a Sunday a� ernoon matinee on December 9.

� e chorus is celebrating their 20th anniversary with a fun-� lled concert of varied and wonderful Christmas music, with everything from A to Z, from “Ave Maria” to “’Zat You Santa Clause?”

� e Langley Community Chorus, a registered non-pro� t society, was founded in 1992 with 14 singers and has grown over the years to more tab 80 voices today. � ey are a mixed voice (SATB) choral group of various ages from Langley and neighbouring municipalities, all with a love of singing.

� e chorus performs two main public concerts each year, in winter and spring, as well as shares their music at Langley seniors’ residences. � ey are beginning to expand their venues and guest performances with the goal of providing more opportu-nities to perform for the public

in Langley. � e chorus sings a wide variety of musical styles.

� e talented music director is Anita Comba. With her exten-sive musical experience, sense of humour and willingness to help, Anita is a wonderful resource for the chorus, and Donna Phillips is an excellent accompanist on keyboards. � e members enjoy both rehearsal times and concert performances under their leader-ship.

Venues and dates of their upcoming concerts are:

• Evening concert - 7:30 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 24 at Willoughby Christian Reformed Church 20525 - 72 Avenue, Langley;

• A� ernoon matinee - 3 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 2 at Sharon United Church, 21562 Old Yale Road, Langley;

• Special matinee - 3 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 9 at St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church, 3025 - 264 St,

� e Music Access Society, a Langley-based non-pro� t soci-ety, is looking for participants and sponsors for its free music programs. � ey also invite guests to come out to the Christmas Party fundraising event going on prior to the Aldergrove Christmas Parade, at Bob’s Steakhouse on Saturday, Dec. 8.

Music Access Society (MAS) is a newly-formed not-for pro� t initiative formed by local resi-dents which recognizes that limi-tations in arts education com-bined with B.C.’s high cost of liv-ing leaves restricted-income fam-

ilies without the ability to a� ord music lessons for their children.

MAS has recently created a sponsorship program for chil-dren and youth in Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Langley, and South Surrey/White Rock. Participants are o� ered free music lessons and access to musical instru-ments to take home for the dura-tion of the lessons.

Keyboarding is o� ered Mondays at the City of Langley’s Al Anderson Pool, close to the Douglas Park area. Group guitar runs � ursdays at St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church in Aldergrove. Private lessons for seven low-

income or otherwise challenged children and youth is o� ered in music schools closest to the student’s home. Musical instru-ments are supplied by local donors.

� ere are still seats avail-able for interested children and youth. Twenty-four children and youth have, thus far, begun on their musical journeys.

� e Music Access Society was founded by John Briner, BAMus, LLB, LLM, a local father of four, a practicing lawyer and former private guitar instructor, and Anne Guite, BA, a local musi-cian, along with a small group of

music educators and supporters.� e Dec. 8 fundraiser will

feature Christmas, pop and folk music from So� Focus, � ddlers and friends, as well as games and prizes. It runs from 2 to 4 p.m. at Bob’s Steakhouse, and tickets include choice of any beverage and three meal options, with desserts for the kids. Prices are $20 adult, $10 child and babies under age three are free. For tick-ets call 604-259-8452.

For inquiries about lessons for children and youth or to donate instruments or sponsor a student, please visit the website: www.musicaccesssociety.com

Job seekers are in luck when it comes to the commercial road transportation industry in British Columbia.

Trucking companies throughout B.C. require professional drivers, mechanics, dispatchers and opera-tions sta� right now, which means that job seekers with experience and/or training may � nd work within their preferred region.

For those considering train-ing prior to joining the workforce, demand for skilled workers in the industry is likely to grow – to 2020 and beyond.

� ere are a number of reasons for this.

For truck drivers, the industry is facing a North America-wide short-age because most are 45 years of age or older and nearing retirement (in

fact, in Canada, according to a report by the Canada Trucking Human Resources Council, 58 percent of long-haul truck drivers fall in this age range).

Similar shortages exist for other jobs, including diesel engine and heavy duty mechanics.

Aside from worker shortages, economic growth in the Asia-Paci� c Gateway is also driving demand for workers in transportation.

� is applies not only to compa-nies in the Lower Mainland, but in other regions as well, since the Asia-Paci� c “Gateway” is actually made up of an integrated supply chain of airports, seaports, rail and road con-nections, and border crossings, from Prince Rupert to Surrey, with links supplied by trucking.

Today’s trucking industry is an exciting place to be.

Equipment in many companies is state of the art, meaning increased comfort and ease for drivers and opportunities for mechanics to work with technologically advanced sys-tems, keeping both their skills and interest engaged.

Dispatch relies on sophisticated tracking and routing systems.

Others on the operations side also use information technology of many kinds to deal with everything from licences and permits, to customer services, accounting, sales and mar-keting.

And, people joining the industry have many career choices.

Drivers, for example, may work close to home as pick-up and delivery or short-haul drivers.

� ose who like the idea of travel-ling across Canada or North America can become long-haul drivers for an

employer or work as owner-oper-ators. Drivers may haul consumer goods, fuel, logs, heavy-duty equip-ment, livestock – most of what we purchase or consume spent some time on the road with a commercial truck!

If you already have experience as a driver, mechanic or operations worker, most companies advertise jobs on their websites.

Members of the B.C. Trucking Association from across the prov-ince may post jobs under Careers on www.bctrucking.com, and the provincial and federal govern-ments maintain job sites at WorkBC (h� p://www.workbc.ca/Jobs/) and Working in Canada (h� p://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/ - choose to Explore Careers by Occupation, then by Region).

Within your own community, it

may also pay to approach a company you’d like to work for, drop o� a résu-mé and inquire if and when they’ll be hiring.

If you’d like to enter the industry but need training, there are also many avenues to explore.

Although there is not a standard training course for professional drivers, there are numerous private schools throughout B.C. that o� er programs.

For information on transportation trades in B.C., including mechanics and other technicians, visit transC-DA (h� p://www.tcda.ca/home).

HARRY HUNT PHOTOThe names of the 158 Canadian soldiers killed in duty in Afghanistan are inscribed on this metal ribbon which wraps around a memorial pillar in the Derek Doubleday Arberetum in Murrayville. This commemorative struc-ture was unveiled in a “Walk to Remember” dedication ceremony, Nov. 11, and the � nal 158th tree planting in the memory of the 158 soldiers was performed by the guests. The memorial was initiated by Langley students and siblings Michael and Elizabeth Pratt, who wished to plant a tree for every soldier lost in Afghanistan but with the support of the Township and federal govern-ments grew to include the commemorative structure. MP Mark Warawa also presented the arboretum with a Canadian � ag, a gift from Parliament Hill.

� e Aldergrove Kodiaks extended their winning streak with a 3-2 over-time victory over the Abbotsford Pilots Friday night at MSA Arena.

� e Pilots came out strong and it was all the Kodiaks could do to keep the puck out of their end in the � rst period. � e Pilots opened the scoring at 2:05 and were up 1-0 at the start of the second period.

� e Kodiaks evened it up in the second, with Samuel Ramsay ne� ing one unassisted at 13:44.

� e Pilots took another lead at 3:20 in the third but the Kodiaks responded at 11:25, with a goal by Tyler Solotki, assisted by Sco� McHa� e and Ryan Veillet.

� is put it into overtime and it was at 3:28 in the second OT that Kodiak Stefan Gonzales scored the winner.

� e Pilots outshot the Kodiaks 40-22 and Kodiaks keeper Mark Menicucci amply deserved the game’s � rst star for his work. Gonzales was second star of the night.

Neither of the teams scored on each of their two power plays.

� e win improves the Kodiaks record to 19 points a� er 18 games (9-8-1-0), � ve points behind the Harold Bri� ain conference leading Pilots.

� e Kodiaks travel to play the Delta Ice Hawks on Tuesday, Nov. 13 and host Grandview Steelers on Nov. 14 and the Mission City Outlaws on Nov. 21.

� e Port Moody Black Panthers put up a great ba� le, with outstand-ing work by their net-minder Angus Redmond against an all-out puck assault by the Aldergrove Kodiaks Wednesday, Nov. 7 at Aldergrove Arena.

� e Panthers took it into over-time, tied at three apiece, before Kodiak Roshen Jaswal ne� ed the winner at 43 seconds into OT.

� e Kodiaks led in shots on goal all three periods, for a grand total of 59, versus 38 from the Panthers. � e Panthers also opened the scoring in the � rst period at 5:23 and were up 1-0 at the start of the second.

� e Kodiaks opened the scor-ing in the second, with one from Stephen Ryan at 3:00 on a power play, assisted by Adam Callegari and Joshua Cronin. It was a seesaw ba� le, however, with the Panthers respond-ing on their power play at 6:38. � is was followed with the Kodiaks’ Sco� McHa� e scoring at 16:05, assisted by Stefan Gonzales and Spencer McHa� e. � is evened it up only brie� y as the Panthers closed the sec-ond with another power play goal at 17:43, to go up 3-2 at the start of the

third.� e Kodiaks came out stronger

in the third and Kodiaks’ Brandon Dolby scored the period’s only goal

at 2:58, assisted by Ryan Veillet and Jackson Waniek.

Roshen Jaswal’s overtime goal at 43 seconds was assisted by the

McHa� e twins, Spencer and Sco� .Sco� McHa� e was named game

� rst star and Roshen Jaswal second star.
