LSS discussion removed from agendaMONIQUE TAMMINGATimes Reporter
The potential closure of Langley Secondary School and decisions around the future of Langley’s schools has been taken off Tues-day’s board of education agenda.
Originally, it was expected that the board was going to vote on a direction for its long-term facilities plan, but that would violate the policy procedures when consider-ing closing a school.
Trustees gave notice of the pos-
sible closure of LSS at their Dec. 16 meeting, and the policy requires the board hold a 60-day consulta-tion period.
The 60 days will be up on Feb. 14. In the meantime, a public meet-
ing is being held at LSS on Tues-day, Feb. 10, at 7 p.m. to gather information from the communi-ty about the impact of the poten-tial closure. Members of the com-munity are encouraged to speak at this meeting.
The board is then plan-
ning on holding a public spe-cial meeting on Feb. 17, at 7 p.m. at the School Board Of-fi ce to address the possible closure of LSS in accordance with Policy No. 5029.
A decision on a long-term fa-cilities plan business case will be made only after the LSS closure is considered, said board chair Rob McFarlane.
“We are looking forward to hear-ing more from the LSS school com-munity as we face this decision,”
said McFarlane. “As a board, we understand the
emotional attachments students, past and present, have with Lang-ley Secondary and we plan to hon-our those connections, whichever direction we follow.”
The public can make presenta-tions, either written or oral, at the LSS Feb. 10 meeting.
They are asked to email their requests to speak or submit writ-ten presentations after Feb. 2 to [email protected].

Vive les voyageurs
The annual Vive les Voyageurs Festival that took place over the weekend at the historic Fort Langley celebrates the fort’s French Canadian heritage and the role of the ‘les voyageurs’ — French Canadians who played an integral role in the North American fur trade.
Les voyageurs transported furs great distances all by canoe. At the festival, their traditions and foods were celebrated,
including the popular maple syrup taffy.

Squatters using an abandoned house at 204 Street and 80 Avenue will have to fi nd a new place for shelter after a fi re destroyed the structure on Saturday night.
Around 8:30 p.m., Township fi re crews were called to the home that was slated for demo-lition.
When fi refi ghters arrived, fl ames were al-
ready shooting through the main fl oor and the roof of the home,” said assistant fi re chief Pat Walker.
The fi re started in the basement, he said. Because there was no power to the home, the
blaze was either set accidently or on purpose.There is no value to the home, which is now
uninhabitable and a total loss, said Walker.Fire crews were on scene until around 1:15
a.m.

The robbery suspect is
described as Caucasian, approximately 25-35 years old, 5’11”, with a brown beard. He was wearing a dark grey zippered hoody, black pants, brown shoes and sunglasses.
Police are asking the public to study the sur-veillance photo and if you are able to assist with the identifi cation of this man, call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200. To remain anonymous, call CrimeS-toppers at 1-800-22-TIPS.

A fire that destroyed a home and garage in Aldergrove early Friday morning is being deemed suspicious, said Langley RCMP.
Langley RCMP along with For-tis BC had been at the home the day before (Jan. 21) to investi-gate a suspected illegal grow op
there, said police.Fortis found the gas line had
been illegally diverted and po-lice were trying to contact the owner of the home but didn’t enter that day.
A fire erupted the next night, destroying both the home and a detached garage, located about 10 feet (three metres) from the
house.Township fire crews were
called out to the rural property at 274 Street and 43 Avenue at about 1:15 a.m. Friday. By the time they arrived both buildings were fully engulfed, with flames shooting 40 to 50 feet in the air, said Township of Langley assis-tant fire chief Pat Walker.
In fact, Abbotsford fire also ar-rived at the scene and assisted in the beginning.
Because of the home’s remote location, fire crews brought wa-ter by tanker from a source lo-cated about two and a half kilo-metres away.
On Friday morning, the fire department was referring calls
about the blaze to the Langley RCMP.
Cpl. Holly Marks said the cause of the fire is still under investigation but the house was empty at the time of the fire and nobody was injured.
The home is a total loss and police continue their investiga-tion.

Fewer vehicles crossed the tolled Port Mann Bridge in 2014 than the previous year, but pro-vincial government offi cials say the decline was expected and appears to have been tempo-rary.
The decrease in total traf-fi c was 3.9 per cent, with 34.7 million crossings in 2014 com-pared to 36.1 million in 2013.
Most bridge users enjoyed half-price tolls throughout 2013 due to an introductory discount offer that ended Jan. 1 2014 when full $3 tolls kicked in.
Offi cials at the Transportation Investment Corp, which man-ages the new bridge, said they fully expected a dip in use in early 2014 as discounts ended and motorists tried free alter-natives, such as the Pattullo Bridge.
They also predicted drivers would eventually come back to the Port Mann for its time sav-ings and say the latest counts now show that’s happening, al-beit later than expected.
December traffi c over the bridge was up 2.6 per cent from the same month in 2013 and TI Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson said January traffi c is up nearly fi ve per cent.
“Traffi c on the bridge is now stable and growing,” he said.
But the Crown corporation has downgraded its traffi c growth forecast for the years ahead, now estimating it at 2.5 per cent per year.
Johnston said an earlier growth forecast prepared be-
fore the recession of 2008-09 was much too ambitious.
The TI Corp.’s current service plan, fi led with the government before the declines of 2014, shows it assumed revenue growth of nearly 10 per cent in both 2015 and 2016.
Even with that revenue es-timate, Port Mann/Highway 1 debt was expected to rise to more than $3.6 billion by 2014 from an initial construction cost of $3.3 billion.
Johnston said the more con-servative traffi c growth expec-tations are now forcing TI Corp. to borrow more money than ex-pected to fund operations over the next few years to offset lower revenue.
He said the updated forecast still indicates TI Corp. will ful-ly pay off the Port Mann/High-way 1 project debt by 2050, as planned, with no taxpayer sub-sidies.
TransLink’s tolled Golden Ears Bridge has also struggled to attract as many drivers as originally predicted.
But the Golden Ears had an improved 2014, with traffi c vol-ume up six per cent instead of a projected two per cent, in part because of the implementation of full tolls at the Port Mann.
NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena said she has serious doubts as to whether the the bridge can be paid off on time without raising tolls by more than the annual rate of infl ation, which she said would drive even more motor-ists away.
“The government has created
a real albatross for everybody in B.C.,” she said.
She said the Port Mann expe-rience should be a cautionary tale but the province is plung-ing ahead with plans to build a new bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel. It’s widely ex-pected to be tolled as well.
“They could be going straight into it a second time,” Trevena said of the Massey bridge. “We haven’t seen any business plan for this. If they can’t make one billion-dollar boondoggle work how are they going to justify another one?”
New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté said too many motorists who don’t want to pay the Port Mann toll drive through his city.
His proposed solution is to re-duce the toll at the Port Mann and charge the same, lower amount at the Pattullo Bridge as well, even though work has not yet begun on its $1-billion replacement.
“There would be less vehi-cles diverting off the highway network to the Pattullo Bridge and onto roads not designed for that purpose and you’d have more revenue generated and an ability to have a lower toll on the Port Mann Bridge,” Coté said.
He said that would bring a net benefi t while still recognizing that money needs to be gener-ated to support both crossings.
“Having a toll bridge and a free alternative three kilome-tres down the road is not very effi cient from a transportation point of view.”

TOLLS WILL PAY OFF DEBT ON TIME
Fewer drivers chose to use the new, tolled, Port Mann Bridge in 2014 than did the previous year.

Say you own a house which you move into with your future spouse. You marry and a few years later you sell the house and buy a new house with the money, which you put into both names. If you later break up, does your spouse get a share of the value of the property you brought into the relationship?
New B.C. family law rules for splitting up assets and debts came into effect on March 18, 2013, which apply in lawsuits about this started after that date. They cover married and unmarried spouses (such as couples who’ve lived together as if married for two years), including same-sex spouses. Even if you try and sort things out by agreement, the new rules are a useful yard stick for figuring out a fair split.
The basic outline is this: All family debts and assets you own together or sepa-rately at the time of separation – except “excluded property” (such as gifts, inheri-tances, or assets either of you owned before the relationship) – are to be divid-ed equally. The court can order a different split, but only if an equal division would be significantly unfair.
So far, so good. But the devil is in the details. A recent court case dealt with some of the tricky questions left open by the new rules.
Peter (all names changed) started to live with Sandra in the fall of 1990. They got married in 1991, had two children and separated in 2012. When they started their relationship, Peter owned a prop-erty which he and Sandra moved into together and lived in for some years. It was worth $65,000 at the start of their relationship. That property was later sold, and the money was used to buy a new home and some other land that was put
in Peter and Sandra’s names jointly.
In court, Peter argued that the $65,000 value of the property he brought into the relationship should be “excluded prop-erty,” not family property to be divvied up. Sandra said “no” – since the sale money was used afterwards to buy real estate in their joint names, he’d given her one-half of it, she argued, based on some case law that’s still in effect.
The new rules don’t specifically deal with the earlier case law. But the B.C. Supreme Court decided the new family law rules are meant to be complete and compre-hensive. It pointed out some problems if the earlier case law were allowed to come into play. For example, married and unmarried spouses would be treated dif-ferently when assets are split (since the earlier case law only benefitted married spouses).
So the court decided that all of the $65,000 value of the property that Peter had brought into the relationship was “excluded property.”
And, after dealing with other issues in the case, the court also decided that an equal split of the family property (worth some $1.8 million dollars now) was appropriate and would not be signifi-cantly unfair.
The new family law rules dealing with the division of family assets and debts are complex, and quite different than what they used to be. Consult your lawyer if you’re breaking up with your partner.

Thousands of dollars worth of art was stolen from the Neighbourhood Arts Studio on Wednesday night.
“I arrived this morning to open up the studio and noticed the door had been pried open and 20 to 30 paintings were stolen,” said studio owner Bob Barrett.
Some of the paintings were large canvasses so Barrett be-
lieves a truck must have been used.
“What would thieves want with local art? I just don’t get it,” he said.
The paintings that were taken were Barrett’s own as well as others by local artists and for-mer students.
“Some really beautiful pieces are gone,” he said on Thursday morning while Langley RCMP members were inside the stu-dio collecting evidence.
“A lot of it is one-of-a kind stuff.”
The studio is at 20059 92A Av-enue and offers classes as well as an art gallery and framing. Barrett is hopeful some of the paintings will return back to him somehow.
Anyone who knows anything about the whereabouts of these paintings or has information about the break-in, is asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Do you cross the Port Mann Bridge less frequently, now that it is tolled?
Do you support Langley Township’s plans to reduce hours of work at construction sites??of the week
Questionwe asked you:Last Week
The move to lower the Bank of Canada’s key lending rate by 0.25 per cent last week caught most observers and analysts by surprise.
While the main reason for the surprise drop is economic uncertainty caused by the sharp
fall in the price of oil, it will have many ripple effects.The move means that interest rates will be lower for al-
most all loans. While that can be a very good thing for people with variable rate mortgages, lines of credit or about to renew their mortgages, it also may encourage some people to take on more debt.
For most Canadians, and particularly for younger people who own their own homes in this part of B.C., that can be a very bad move.
The Metro Vancouver area has the second most unaf-fordable housing in the world, based on household in-come. The only place that is even more unaffordable is Hong Kong.
However, Hong Kong has some good reasons to be so un-affordable. It is situated on a very small piece of land, and while offi cially part of China, it operates with a very differ-ent economic and legal systems. It is a hub for business in Asia and is defi nitely a world-class city.
Vancouver, on the other hand, is situated in a beautiful geographical area but its economy is nothing like Hong Kong’s. While some aspects of the Metro Vancouver econ-omy like port activity and software development are quite robust, many other areas of the economy are struggling. This has led to a virtual freeze on many people’s wages in the past six years, yet housing prices have continued to rise.
While the highest and most outrageous prices are in Vancouver, West Vancouver and Richmond, due at least in part to offshore investors parking their money in what they perceive as a very safe environment, the ripple effect of this activity has boosted prices in all regions of Metro Vancouver. It has driven many people farther and farther from their jobs, as they attempt to fi nd something they can afford.
The result of all this is that younger fi rst-time buyers have taken on enormous amounts of debt to service their mortgages. Because of this borrowing, they often have taken out other loans to meet other expenses, such as auto loans or payday loans.
The average Canadian debt level is over 160 per cent, meaning that people owe over $1.60 for every dollar that they make.
Lower interest rates will likely be benefi cial to the larger Canadian economy, but people who already have high lev-els of debt should take advantage of them primarily to re-duce their interest rates (and hopefully pay off their debts more quickly) — not to borrow even more money.
Pity those poor B.C. government spokespeo-ple.
Imagine how horrible it must be to have your name stripped and be known only by your job title: “Hey, plumber! Come fi x my toilet!”
In the government’s case, it’s spokesperson. As in: “If we don’t fi x the road this year we might do it next year,” said a spokesperson for the Transportation Ministry.
According to legend, reporters used to be able to call a person to get information about something and then attri-bute the information to that very same person.
That still works for the most part today, but not if the person works for the B.C. government.
In that case, a reporter usually gets directed to a com-munications offi cer who works for the province’s Govern-ment Communications and Public Engagement branch.
The communications offi cer takes the request, formu-lates a response that includes a couple of key messages and little of substance, then sends it back to the reporter via email with a stipulation the information be attributed to the spokesperson, but not by name.
It’s a way to dodge accountability, since it’s hard to hold unnamed people to account, which is silly when we’re talking about people who are paid by the public to com-municate with the public.

Port Mann’s loss ofdrivers not surprisingUse of the Port Mann Bridge de-
clined every month of 2014, with the exception of December.
Total traffi c for 2014 was down 3.9 per cent.
This comes at a time when the economy is improving slightly, albe-it in very gradual increments. B.C.’s job picture is probably best described as cruising along at the same rate of speed.
It also comes at a time when more and more people are moving south of the Fraser River, to Surrey, Langley, Ab-botsford and Chilliwack. Yet the number of bridge crossings is not keeping pace.
There are a variety of reasons. One is that people often seek employment closer to home, and are particularly motivated to do so by bridge tolls. Given that people living here must pay tolls to cross both the Port Mann and the Golden Ears, that is a strong motivation.
Another is that more people are using the transit system, particularly the 555, 503 and 502 buses which take people to Sky-Train. In the case of the 555, they can cross the Port Mann for free.
Some people are making the distant trek to the Pattullo and Alex Fraser Bridges, which is made easier by the South Fraser Perimeter Road. However, that is a long trek from Langley, and it only works if your destination is somewhere near or beyond those bridges — not if it is close to High-way 1.
The fatigue from bridge tolls, which cost regular commuters a sizable amount each month, may be a factor in the stiff oppo-
sition to the proposed TransLink congestion improvement tax from people living south of the Fraser.
At a debate last Tuesday in Langley, it was obvious that the vast majority of attendees were on side with Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers Federa-tion, who made the case for vot-ing “no.”
Comments received here at The Times since that time have
been almost universally in support of his stance, which can be summarized as “no more money for TransLink, which cannot manage what it has now.”
The provincial government has set the tolling policy for the Port Mann. It needs to collect so much each year to pay off the project by 2050. The project, incidentally, includes a large number of freeway im-provements north of the Port Mann, which most users pay nothing towards.
The Greater Langley Chamber of Com-merce opposes the TransLink congestion improvement tax. It believes that mobili-ty pricing makes more sense. If there was such a system, all those who use the im-proved Highway 1 would help pay for it — not just those who must cross the bridge.
The province needs to do a major re-view of its tolling policy. When the new Port Mann was close to being completed, drivers were told that the Pattullo Bridge would be the free alternative. Yet the May-ors Council plan, which the tax will fund, calls for a tolled Pattullo Bridge.
Drivers are asking for some fairness.

Teachersneed controlEditor: Are teachers or students in con-
trol?The word control reverberates in many
people’s minds in different ways. A group of radicals wishing to have swaying power, or “control” over a person or persons could be considered bad, while a doctor working to “control” the outbreak of a nasty disease is considered good.
The army drill sergeant wields a level of “control” over the recruits in order to teach them a discipline so when push comes to shove, the now well-trained soldiers can go about their duties in a manner justifi ed by their superiors.
By the same token a teacher desires, no, deserves to have a level of “control” over the students, lest they break out and run amok, hindering not only their own learning but the learning of the others.
The point this writer is making is that teachers have a responsibility to teach, not babysit. As for “a disruptive six-year-old” (The Times, Jan. 15), the teacher needs some level of “control” over the class. She also deserves respect for the station they hold. Why would anyone want to be a teacher if they didn’t have a desire to educate others?
There should never be an abusive situa-tion, but that level of “control” needs to be exerted. If anyone has ever lost their bal-ance and stumbled, you immediately look around to lay blame on someone for your misstep. Or did you trip because of a level of ineptness on your own behalf?
If you do stumble and I grab you to save potential injury, am I guilty of abuse be-cause it may have been a bit rough grabbing you?
Oh, don’t misunderstand. I recognize these are six-year-olds, but keep in mind the teacher is preparing you for life, not just for the day.
Yes, the teacher overstepped her bounds on the “worst class” comment, but is there any chance at all that her comment was understated?As for the “loud voice,” is there any chance at all the situation deserved the speaking out?
Political correctness is doing society more harm than good, and you will hear that comment said everywhere and in all walks of life.
It is this writer’s opinion that the Teacher Regulation Branch is wrong when they sus-pend a teacher for doing their job.

Editor: “You can’t get there from here” will be a common cry from underserved commuters in Langley if the upcoming transit funding referendum fails. My family found having two cars a fi nancial burden. I decided that, as I work in Cloverdale, riding the bus would be an affordable alternative. The people I see on the bus need reliable transit to get to work.
It would be diffi cult for most small businesses to rely on a workforce that could not afford to get to work. Under-funding public transit would be a devastating blow for the “little guy.”
Elderly and disabled people have been devastated by a HandyDart funding freeze. Without adequate funding, HandyDart riders will be robbed of their health and quality of life. My 91- and 92-year-old mother and father, who rely on HandyDart, would be devastated by further erosion of Handy-Dart.
If people vote no, they may be expressing their anger at
TransLink mismanagement. Anger should be expressed, at those truly responsible for debacles past and present.
The provincial government dumped the responsibility of building mega bridges on TransLink. The provincial govern-ment created a sham of governance by removing mayors and appointing corporate shills to the TransLink board.
The provincial government pours money into LNG devel-opment, despite all advice to the contrary. The provincial government robs working people of the democratic right to resist power giveaways with Site C Dam. TransLink’s strings are controlled by a cruel puppet master.
A vote in favor of transit funding is a vote to provide work-ing people, a growing aging population and disabled people dignity. The real vote against ineptitude is a vote against the BC Liberal government in the next election.

Editor: I support a “no” on the sales tax increase. TransLink must change fi rst, before anything else.
I congratulate Jordan Bateman for his position during the debate on the proposed transit tax (The Times, Jan. 22), and I couldn’t agree with him more.
I also enjoyed reading Richard Keill’s letter on page 7 of the same edition. He nailed it as well. The points that were brought up in both instances should convince most of us that we need to wake up, because if this tax goes through, then
there is no turning back.There is nothing in TransLink’ history that will guarantee a
change. We will get more of the same.Bill Tieleman, you are wrong. This is about TransLink and its
bloated untouchable bureaucracy. TransLink change comes fi rst, before anything else.
L. TOWNS,LANGLEY
Editor: Langley already pays its share of transit tax, via bridge tolls. So I urge all Langley residents to vote “no” to the proposed transit tax.
Unlike all the other Lower Mainland communities, some who have new bridges built such as the Pitt River Bridge, we already pay our share of transit tax via the bridge tolls on the two bridges in our area.
If you commute daily using one of our two bridges, the cost of the toll fees are about $120 to $144 per month. This is in addition to fuel costs, your vehicle maintenance and any pay parking fees at your job site.
Who can afford that, except perhaps politicians? Big com-
panies can write off their travel expenses for tolls, but the average commuter cannot.
There are eight bridges and one tunnel spread out over the Lower Mainland that are not tolled, even though we all use them. The Sea to Sky Highway, which goes to those million dollar ski chalets, is not tolled, yet it cost us lots of big bucks.
In Langley, we only get about 10 per cent benefi t from tran-sit and the bus service, and I do not see any new future plans asking for an “Evergreen Line” on this side of the river. So I say vote “no” to the proposed transit tax.
RAS GOSSE,LANGLEY
Residents need answers on recyclablesEditor: I have read the article in The Times about putting all
recyclables together.And if L. Gemus (letters, The Times, Jan. 13) is correct, I have
wondered what happens to these recyclables.I have missed seeing the truck.I have expressed my feelings on the new garbage rules, and
received no response.This new system puts homeowners into doing what the
garbage people have done since forever.
We are paying taxes for this service and now we are expect-ed to join in with the service.
It now takes me four trips to the front of the driveway with a small amount in the bins.
And if the truck mixes things, why do I bother to separate my recyclables? The City of Langley needs to give homeown-ers some answers.

Businessman and father of two Dana Matheson is making sure Family Day will be awesome in Langley this year.
The owner of C&D Logistics freight company is putting together the fi rst annual Fraser Valley Fam-ily Day celebration at the Langley Events Centre fi eld house on Saturday, Feb. 7, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
There are going to be at least 20 different event stations for kids of all ages, including bouncy cas-tles, a velcro wall, zip line station, Sumo wrestling, face painting, potato sack races, tug-of-war, obsta-cle courses and much more.
To gain entry into Family Day is by donation, and every game or play station is by donation, too, with 100 per cent of the day’s proceeds going to several local charities.
“There is not much going on that weekend and this is a really great way to celebrate family. It lets the kids have fun and burn off some energy and brings the community together,” said Matheson.
His own kids, Colton, 6, and Chloe, 3, will be there to enjoy all the activities for all ages.
Blues and jazz band Cannery Row will be playing the whole day and food is available at the conces-sion.
There will be guest appearances from B.C. Lions players, the Lions dance team, members of the Vancouver Stealth and football players from the Langley Rams. Several of the team mascots will be there too.
The chosen charities include Langley Animal Protection Society (LAPS) which will have some of their adoptable cats and dogs at the event.
Another group benefi tting from the event is the Township fi refi ghters’ charitable society. Firefi ght-ers plan to have a couple of fi re trucks outside and will be offering a Junior Firefi ghters Challenge. The other charity the funds will go to is Life Ready, a non-profi t that helps at risk youth.
Langley’s Kim Snow, of Kimz Angels, will also be there, hoping to fi ll her new truck with groceries.
C&D Logistics recently bought Snow a newer, bigger truck so Kimz Angels could be able to pick up more food, furniture and other items to help feed, cloth and furnish those in need from, not just Langley, but now Surrey and White Rock too.
“Kim and I had mutual friends, so we started talking and I wanted to help. We got the truck and the Wrap Guys here in Langley donated a wrap for the truck and now she can help people here in Langley and as far as Surrey and White Rock,” he said.
Matheson is a big believer in giving back to his community.
“I grew up in Walnut Grove and we have a family
business so it’s the right thing to do,” he said.At the Family Day event Game, Ready, Fitness will
have an obstacle course and other challenges set up for kids to try.
Platinum sponsor Valley Traffi c Systems has been a huge help getting ready for this event, said Matheson.
“Phil Jackman of Valley Traffi c has done all the banners, posters and contributed fi nancially. He’s been just awesome,” he said.
“This is our fi rst annual but we know it’s going to be great. We are really excited to build on it each year, making it bigger and better,” he said.
Other sponsors of Family Day are Kevin Bay of Mortgage Specialistist, Darnell and Company Law-yers and Original Ginger.
Dana Matheson, owner of C&D Logistics stands next to the pickup he donated to Kimz Angels. Matheson is organizing a Family Day weekend cel-ebration at LEC, with proceeds to several charities.

It’s been years at the fundraising stage and a few months with a muddy, empty space, but fi nally Blacklock Elementary students will have a shiny, new play-ground to play on.
Volunteer parents and the contractor worked all weekend to install the new playground.
Last October the playground was taken down because it was deemed unsafe and too old a structure for children to use.
“Because of the strike we had a late start to the year, and then we have had some pretty rainy weather and Christ-mas break so the kids haven’t been out-side that much to miss it,” said principal Suzanne Epoch.
“We also did picnics in the gym and other things.”
The school PAC has been fundrais-ing since around 2011 to pay for a new playground, knowing the structure was reaching the end of its days and know-ing how expensive they are. A new play-ground costs around $100,000.
The fi ne arts K to Grade 5 school has 244 students.
Several years ago, the provincial gov-ernment decided it would no longer fund replacing aging playground equip-ment, and it would be up to the individ-ual parent advisory councils to pay for it.
But playgrounds, even smaller ones, are very expensive.
“This one cost more than $98,000,” said Epoch.
“The PAC had some gaming money,
the Langley School Foundation was very generous, the City provided some funds and we even had cheques for $1,000 from community members.
The community has been very gener-ous,” she said.
The playground has spinners, slides and climbing equipment.
Epoch said the school district got them a good price on wood chips for the base.
A date for an opening ceremony hasn’t been set yet.
Workers were installing new playground equipment at Blacklock Elementary Fine Arts school on Sunday (Jan. 25). Students at the fi ne arts school in Langley City have been without a playground since the old one was removed in October. It had been deemed unsafe for the children to continue to play on.

For those craving a culinary experience like no other, a trip to Ban Chok Dee Thai Cuisine may be just the ticket.
In Thai, ‘Ban’ means House, and ‘Chok Dee!’ is a traditional Good Luck toast – combined, they form a fi tting title for a booming family business committed to providing authentic and delicious Thai cuisine along with friendly service in a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
The popular dining hot spot opened its doors in Langley City back in 2009, offering top-notch service, a menu designed to tantalize all the senses and so much more.
While it used to be thought that one would have to go to downtown Vancouver for a night out, eateries like this one have put the Fraser Valley on the map and in the hearts of foodies from all over.
“We love hearing from our customers that they have enjoyed their meal,” says Parinya Loptson, the executive chef who owns the restaurant with her husband, Scott. “We have received the ‘Thai Select’ designation from the Tourism Authority of
Thailand which states that we provide authenticThai food and atmosphere. We are very proud of this, however, we are always looking for ways to improve our food and service for our customers,
even if we have to break from traditional Thai a little bit.”
Ban Chok Dee is now in its sixth year of business – the fi rst three years were at a smaller location wherethey fi ne-tuned their procedures and worked through some entrepreneurial growing pains.
In 2012, they moved to their current location at 20563 Douglas Crescent, which is over twice and large (120 seats) and much more visible.
“We are very happy with the move,” says Scott. “We have great customers and a great landlord and enjoy running the restaurant and doing business in
Downtown Langley.”From mouth-watering curries and signature stir
fry's fresh from the wok to some eclectic seafood and traditional fare, there's a little something foreveryone.
Earlier in 2014, Ban Chok Dee introduced a new
Langley’s own

“Parinya has worked hard to pair new wines, cocktails and several excellent desserts to complement our different entrees.” notes Scott. “She also has a knack for decorations and food presentation, and there are several photos of past catered events on our Facebook page.”
In addition to the fully licensed dine-in service and take-out menu, Ban Chok Dee offers catering for weddings, parties and other events. They can present the food in almost any way you can think of. They can prepare the food fresh on-site with full table-service, or they can bring prepared food to the event and serve it buffet-style.
Parinya has also catered to private residences to cook food on-site in their own kitchen – and she can provide a cooking demonstration at the same time.

“It’s a political thing, at its basis, to assert that making creative work is kind of an an-archistic act. It’s not driven by the market, but by an impulse toward freedom.”
For Fort Langley artist, Suzanne North-cott it was exactly this type of ‘anarchistic’ creative impulse that led, a decade ago, to the formation of what has become one of the historic village’s most established art galleries.
The Fort Gallery will celebrate its 10th anniversary this month with “Full Circle” an exhibit of work by nine of its alumni artists.
All of the artists participating in the show, which opens on Saturday, Jan. 31, are or have at some point been members of the collective, which was formed in 2005 by Northcott and fellow artist Betty Spack-man as a place where creative energy could fl ow unobstructed.
At the time, said Northcott, there was no-where to show the kind of work she want-ed to make — work that was not necessar-ily commercially driven.
She was living upstairs in the 1911 “Cor-onation Block,” a small heritage building at Glover Road and Francis Avenue, from which she was running both a gallery style shop and yoga studio.
“I couldn’t wait to stop doing that,” she said, with a laugh.
One day, while chatting with Spackman, Northcott mentioned an idea she’d had to turn the space into a gallery.
“Betty said, ‘I have a very clear vision.’”Spackman suggested the space could be
run as an artists’ co-op, similar to one she was familiar with in Toronto.
“We were so on the same page, it was scary,” said Northcott.
“It was very synchronistic. I had the space and Betty had the idea and a model.”
Beginning with artists whose work was already for sale in Northcott’s shop and looking around the community, the wom-en approached several other artists to share their vision of a collective.
Among those who came on board was South Langley painter Susan Falk.
Bringing with her a background running a business, Falk’s timing could not have been better.
“Neither Betty nor I had any practical in-clination. We’re idealists, full of ideas and
passion,” said Northcott. Much of the business sense the gallery
needed, which was initially provided by Falk, was later offered by accountant Su-san Beachy.
“We could not have survived without her,” Falk said.
Over the years, the gallery has done well with sales and the public has been very supportive of the artists’ efforts, added Falk.
The collective has also hosted annual fundraising events including their Blue Plate Special gala at the Fort Langley Com-munity Hall and Art Farm plein air paint-ing lessons on Falk’s property.
Many of the basic costs of keeping the gallery open have been covered by artists’ fees, with the gallery boasting an average of 20 members ‘holding the fort’ at any given time, and more than 50 individuals having come and gone over the years.
However, their numbers have dropped
in the past 18 months and the artists are hoping to boost them once again to ensure the gallery remains self-sustaining.
The Fort Langley gallery is ideal for art-ists who are just starting out, as a place to fi nd their niche while deciding how they want to turn their passion into a viable liv-ing.
“They fi gure out what to do about the commercial part. What’s a natural direc-tion to take?” said Northcott.
“Eventually, they fi nd other avenues, but there has to be a beginning,” said Falk. “It can be very scary if you’ve never had a show.”
Along with Northcott and Falk, the other artists exhibiting in Full Circle will be Nan-cy Crawford, Richard Forbes, Terry Nurmi, Fiona Moes Pel, Myrna Pfeifer, Donna Ush-er and Spackman.
In the spirit of true creative expression, the artists participating in the exhibit have not been given a theme nor any guidelines
within which they’re expected to work.“There are no limits — it’s whatever they
want, whether pieces they’ve displayed be-fore or new work,” said Northcott.
Crawford, a teacher at Langley Fine Arts School, was among the Fort Gallery’s fi rst member artists in its early days. As both an established artist and someone who is en-gaged with up-and-coming young painters and sculptors every day, Crawford said a gallery where artists enjoy complete free-dom is “essential.”
“You’re basically creating a safe place for people to take risks and have dialogue around it. A huge part of creating is shar-ing.”
She is preparing 14 pieces for the exhibit, which together will make up “The Detritus Collection.” Ranging in size from 12” x12” to 12”x 36,” the set of encaustic — layered wax — paintings will be displayed together to form one large piece, she explained.
Encased in the fi rst piece is a single coil of rusted barbed wire. In the second piece there is a pair of objects, three items in the third, and so on.
Crawford’s use of materials others have cast aside to create art is quite deliberate.
“I’m an avid collector of the minutia of everyday life. What appeals to me is how we attach meaning to objects.
“What looks like garbage or trash are ac-tually powerful memory triggers,” she said.
Working with melted wax evokes won-derful memories, in turn, for Crawford.
“My nana, who I adored, was a candle-maker,” she said.
In encaustic work, the pigment is sus-pended in melted beeswax and applied one layer at a time. The medium gives the artist an extraordinary amount of control, Crawford said. “You can achieve every ef-fect from transparency to translucency to opacity. It’s very exciting.”
Using a heat gun or a blow torch, Craw-ford fuses each new layer with the one be-neath it.
“My palette is a grill,” she said with a chuckle.
Full Circle, an exhibition of contempo-rary art, runs Jan. 28 to Feb 15, with an of-fi cial opening on Saturday, Jan. 31 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The Fort Gallery, located at 9048 Glover Rd. is open Wednesday to Sun-day from noon to 5 p.m.

“Audiences become hooked on the music and return to hear more and more. It’s quite the eye opening experience to see the power of Beethoven’s music on people,” said Gle-usteen.
The duo will perform four of the nine Bee-thoven sonatas.
“Every sonata is extremely rich in musical ideas, contrasts, beauty, and virtuosity. Bee-thoven was a genius and we are only there to share this with you in the best possible way,” Gleusteen said.
Tickets for the Rose Gellert concert event are $22 for adults, $20 for seniors, $16 for stu-dents, and $10 for LCMS students. Call the box offi ce at 604-534-2848. The Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207 St.

Gina Kling’s artwork has been displayed in some of B.C.’s most prestigious galleries — from Granville Island to White Rock to Fort Langley.
But on Jan. 29, the Langley painter’s curriculum vitae will be taken to a whole other level, when her work is fi xed to a wall in New York City’s Lim-ner Gallery.
Having her work included in the Manhattan gallery’s newest exhibit — a collection of more than 60 pieces titled “Small Works” — is the ful-fi llment of a lifelong goal for the Langley artist.
“Every artist dreams about having their work shown on the international stage, but New York City is starting at the top,” said Kling.
Kling began drawing at fi ve years old. In the 1980s, she took night classes at Emily Carr and began selling her paintings, mostly by word of mouth, in the early ’90s.
Five years ago, Kling opened her own online gallery, at absolutelyart.ca. Her work is also avail-able at specialty boutiques throughout Canada.
She is currently an active member of the Fed-eration of Canadian Artists, an association which has opened doors in the art gallery world, said Kling, providing international exposure she might not have otherwise enjoyed.
While membership in FCA has helped create connections for the Langley artist, having her
work accepted to the Limner Gallery in New York is the result of many years of hard work and ar-tistic growth, Kling said.
“My love for the arts, and endless hours of painting and thinking about painting has lead me to this point in time. When I look back at my life, I realize it has always been about art.
“Art is who I am.”Kling’s work will be on display at Limner Gal-
lery, in Manhattan’s East Village, until Feb. 21.

Say it isn’t so! Resveratrol, long touted as the magic ingredient in red wine (and grapes and dark chocolate) that confers health benefi ts, does not actually reduce cancer
or heart disease nor prolong life. A nine-year study of almost 800 Tuscans in Italy found that resveratrol consumption had no impact on health markers. The bottom line? Enjoy red wine, in moderation, because you like it – not for health benefi ts!
Green tea is a nutritional super-hero that is living up to its hype. Researchers in Switzerland were looking at the impact of green tea consumption on cognitive function and found that it improves memory. It appears to work by increasing the connectivity between lobes of the brain, improving its ability to perform tasks. And, it is hoped that this news can lead to treatments for the cognitive impairment that can come with disorders such as dementia.
More evidence of the benefi ts of long-chain omega-3 PUFAs (poly-unsaturated fatty acids) is surfacing. Typically found in fi sh, these compounds have already demonstrated cardiovascular benefi ts,
but now they’re linked to a reduced risk of type 2 diabetes. Results of previous studies have been confl icting, but a large meta-analysis of 12 studies grouped together, involving over 400,000 patients, has shown a 33 per cent reduction of diabetes risk.
Melatonin is frequently used to try to improve insomnia or to reset the circadian rhythm in those suffering from jet lag. Now, some evidence is showing that it may have some benefi ts for shift workers – enabling almost half-an-hour extra sleep during the day after a night shift. This may seem small, but the benefi ts do add up. The study also noted that caffeine consumption and naps improved alertness during the night shift.
Most evidence for alternative therapies is lacking and it can be exceptionally hard to get the hard facts. Our pharmacists have access to the most up-to-date information and can help you assess the pros and cons.

A lasting impression back in March has led to a starring role this season.
Facing Bo Didur in the playoffs last season gave Bobby Hender-son plenty to think about this past off-season.
“They (Surrey) gave us a pretty good scare in the fi rst round and I think he really gave them a chance in that series,” said Henderson, the head coach and general manager of the Langley Rivermen.
“And to me, it was just really impressive that he did that as a 16-year-old.”
The Rivermen prevailed in the se-ries four games to two.
Armed with that fi rst-hand expe-rience, Henderson approached the Eagles about trading for Didur.
There were no expecta-tions heading into training camp.
“We didn’t have any-thing set in stone,” Hen-derson said.
“We obvi-ously knew he had the ability to do it, but as a young goal-tender, you are never sure what is going to happen.”
The season began with Didur and Darren Martin splitting the fi rst four games. Martin would get hurt in the third period of the fi fth game, and Didur seized the opportunity and has run with it.
The 17-year-old — he turns 18 in April — is top four in the league in both goals against average (2.59) and save percentage (.922). Both numbers are signifi cantly higher than his rookie season where he went 7-15 with a 4.20 GAA and a .872 save percentage.
Didur is 16-11 this season.“He has been phenomenal for
us,” Henderson said. “He certainly raised the bar and raised our expec-tations of him as well.”
And along the way, Didur is turn-ing a few more heads as well.
In December, he was invited to training camp for the Canada West squad which was preparing for the World Junior A Challenge. He played well, but did not stick on the fi nal roster. And last week, Didur was invited to play in a prospects game for the top junior A hockey players from across Canada.
“It is pretty exciting to see your name on a sheet like that with a bunch of other really good players,” Didur admitted.
He was also quick to point out none of his individual success would be possible without the play-ers in front of him.
“Hats off to the guys that I play with,” he said. “Without the way they have been playing lately, I wouldn’t have been invited.
“They make me look good and sure enough, I get credit for it, but it is all those guys.”
Joining a division rival can always be awkward, but Didur fi gures he left a pretty positive im-pression last season.
But head-ing into his
second BCHL season, he had no preconceived goals.
“As a younger player, you just want to come in and get all the minutes you can,” he explained.
And while it was tough to see a friend and teammate injured, Didur knew it was a great chance to estab-lish himself.
“You never want to see (someone get hurt), but on the playing side, it gives you an opportunity to gain some confi dence, knowing that you are the guy,” he said.
“Bo has great athletic ability, is very sound technically, and is super competitive,” Henderson said.
“For me, the biggest thing is his compete level. He hates to lose and is pissed off when he is scored
against.“Those are all good characteris-
tics to have as a good goaltender.”Didur doesn’t disagree with his
coach’s description.“I would defi nitely classify myself
as a fi ghter,” he said. “Obviously, no one likes to lose, I take that person-ally.”
As for long-term goals, Didur is hoping to land a NCAA Division 1 scholarship. He is currently in Grade 12 at Langley Secondary.
But the more immediate goal is
fi nishing up strong with the River-men.
With a dozen games remaining in the regular season, Langley has al-ready secured a post-season berth, but fi nds themselves in a dog fi ght with the Chilliwack Chiefs for top spot in the Mainland Division (see story below).
•••Langley Rivermen forward Mar-
cus Vela is the top-rated BCHL play-er for the NHL Central Scouting midterm player rankings.
The second-year forward from Burnaby is ranked 123rd in the most recent list released last week (Jan. 20).
There are 210 skaters and 35 goal-tenders from North America on the list, including fi ve from the BCHL.
Vela has nine goals and 30 points in 38 games.
The 17-year-old forward is com-mitted to the University of New Hampshire for the 2016/17 season. He is eligible for this June’s NHL en-try draft.

A pair of 4-3 victories pushed the Langley Rivermen win streak to three games.
The Rivermen knocked off the Chilliwack Chiefs last week (Jan. 21) and then edged the Trail Smoke Eaters by the same score on Saturday night. Both junior A hockey games were played at the Langley Events Centre.
And the victories helped the Rivermen keep close to the Chiefs in the race for top spot in the BCHL’s Mainland Division.
Chilliwack (27-16-1-1, 56 points) leads by a single point over Langley (25-16-1-4, 55 points) although the Chiefs do hold a game in hand.
Against Chilliwack, Langley trailed 3-2 af-ter 40 minutes, but controlled the third pe-
riod and scored twice, including the winner from captain Kevan Kilistoff, with seven minutes to play.
“We kept it simple in the third and played our game,” he said.
“(Matt) Graham went in hard on the fore-check, stayed with the puck, made a smart play and I was able to put it home.”
Graham had a goal and assist in the game as the Rivermen beat the Chiefs for the third straight time.
Gage Torrel and Erik Udahl had the other Langley goals while Craig Puffer, Kurt Black and Ryan Roseboom responded for the Chiefs.
Bo Didur made 31 saves for the victory.
Against Trail a few nights later, Vela scored twice and Torrel had a goal and two assists. Colton Kehler had opened the scor-ing for Langley and Darren Martin stopped 35 shots in the victory.
“We wanted to maintain our composure and not get sucked in,” said Rivermen assis-tant coach Kurt Astle.
“We defended well, identifi ed their top guys and at the end of the day, those are two big points for us.”
Langley was also dealing with some in-jury troubles and had two call-ups in the lineup.
“The AP’s (affi liate players) that came in played really well for us and the whole
team rallied together,” Vela said.“It might not be the prettiest game, but
we got it done.”All four lines contributed on the score-
sheet, and Martin came through with some timely saves.
“We didn’t have our best game defensive-ly,” Astle said.
“We caused some unnecessary turnovers and gave up a couple of breakaways, but lucky for us, Darren was there to save the day.”
The Rivermen will look for a fourth straight win as they host the Prince George Spruce Kings on Thursday (Jan. 29) at the LEC.
Rivermen stretch win streak to three games
Acquired in the off-season from the Surrey Eagles, Bo Didur is having a great fi rst season as the starting goal-tender for the Langley Rivermen. Didur is top fi ve in the BCHL in both goals against average and save percent-age as Langley fi nds itself in a tight race for top spot in the Mainland Division.

them a chance in that series.

Crib LeagueNathan George and Sar-
ah Inglis both made their CIS national champion-ship standard with re-cord-breaking performanc-es.
George was golden in the 300m event, setting a new meet record of 34.93 in the process, while Inglis won gold in the 1000m event with a time of 2:45.94 while breaking her own school re-cord.
The pair were among the Trinity Western Spartans track and fi eld athletes competing over the week-end at the 13th annual Washington State Open.
The medals were just a fraction of the haul the TWU athletes won.
Declan White (1000m), Maya Daly (300m) and Clau-dette Allen (long jump) also won gold in their respective events.
And in the one-mile race, it was a TWU clean sweep with Fiona Bensen taking gold, Inglis winning silver and Regan Yee crossing the fi nish line in third. All three also beat the previous meet record, which had been held by Benson.
George also helped the Spartans win gold in both the 4x200 (George, Calum Innes, Nick Ayin, James Linde) and 4x400 (Jamie
Sinclair, Andrew DeGroot, George, Linde) events.
The Spartans also had a clean sweep of the podium in the 4x800 event, with gold going to Declan White, Joel De Schiffart, Blair John-ston and Caleb DeJong.
On the women’s side, Claudette Allen, Sabrina Nettey, Robyn Waer and Emma Li won gold in the 4x200 and Madison Ev-ans, Meg Harradine, Rachel
Shuttleworth and Anasta-sia Pearse won gold in the 4x400.
Other individual medal winners included:
James Linde (silver, 60m); David Boyd (silver, 300m), Joel De Schiffart (silver, one mile), Calum Innes (silver, 60mh), Nathan Dunford (silver, pole vault), Clau-dette Allen (bronze, 60mh) and Sabrina Nettey (silver, long jump).

A great start was all for naught as the Vancouver Stealth dropped a third straight game.
The Stealth led 3-1 in the fi rst quarter of Saturday’s National Lacrosse League game against the Colorado Mammoth at Den-ver’s Pepsi Centre and were up 4-3 in the early stages of the second.
But after that, it was all Col-
orado, as the Mammoth scored 17 of the fi nal 22 goals to win 20-9.
The win improved Colorado to 3-0 on the season while the Stealth fell to 1-3.
Colorado outscored Vancou-ver 12-3 over the middle two quarters to seize control.
Joel McCready led the Stealth with three goals and an assist while Corey Small — playing his
fi rst game for Vancouver since being acquired via trade — had two goals and two assists. Tyler Digby (two goals, one assist), Rhys Duch (one goal, two as-sists) and Lewis Ratcliff (one goal, two assists) rounded out the scoring for the Stealth.
The two teams will renew their rivalry on Saturday (Jan. 31) at the Langley Events Cen-tre.
Stealth drop third straight contest
Trinity Western Spartans’ Luca Schmidt brings the ball up court against the pressure of UBC’s Diana Lee during Canada West women’s basketball action at the Langley Events Centre on Friday night.
SCOTT STEWART TWU Athletics
T-Birds sweep Spartans in basketball action
The UBC Thunderbirds made themselves right at home at the Langley Events Centre as both the university’s men’s and wom-en’s basketball team took a pair of games off the host Trinity Western Spartans.
The fourth-ranked UBC women won 80-63 and 83-50 on Friday and Saturday while the Thunder-bird men won by scores of 107-89 and 102-80.
Spartans coach Cheryl Jean-Paul was pleased by the improve-ments in the second half but knows her team needs consis-tency.
“It comes down to consisten-cy,” the coach said. “I think we were a little lackadaisical at the start, but that second group for us proved that defence gets you good looks.
“They played well together and
they played without fear and it wasn’t as if they were playing against UBC’s second string play-ers, so that’s the exciting part about how this game ended.”
Tessa Ratzlaff had a career-high 18 points, with nine rebounds in Saturday’s loss. Jessie Brown chipped in with 13 as the Spar-tans fell to 4-10.
The Spartan men are 1-13 on the season after losing twice to the T-Birds.
Saturday’s game saw TWU trailing just 53-51 early in the third quarter, but UBC went on a 19-5 run to put the game out of reach.
“We were right there, but there was one run that we didn’t re-cover from,” said Spartans coach Scott Allen.
“They hit a shot as a team and then we tried to make our own
shot as individuals coming back and that went back and forth four times in a row. That was enough to bury us. We couldn’t respond.
“It’s tough. We have to play pretty well a perfect game to be in it at the end. It’s disappointing because the guys are wanting to compete, but it just comes down to a few mistakes.”
Tyus Allen led the Spartans with 22 points.
In Friday’s game, UBC jumped out to a 39-19 lead after one quarter and never looked back.
Taylor Heinrichs and Denny McDonald each had 18 points while Justin Bakuteka had 17 to lead TWU.
Both Spartan basketball teams are on the road this weekend against the Saskatchewan Hus-kies.

Fresh off helping her country win silver at the world U18 women’s world hockey champi-onships, Sarah Potomak is in camp with Cana-da’s women’s national team program.
The camp runs Jan. 26 to 30 at the Centre d’Excellence Sports Rousseau in Blainville, Que.
Potomak is one of two B.C. players among the 26 invitees, and the 17-year-old from Al-dergrove is the youngest person in attendance.
The next-youngest player is 21.The camp is designed to allow the Canadian
coaching staff a chance to evaluate the play-ers in advance of the 2015 IIHF women’s world championships. The event runs March 28 to April 4 in Malmo, Swe.
At the U18 world championships earlier this month — which were held in Buffalo, N.Y. — Canada lost to the United States in overtime.
Potomak was tied for the tournament scor-ing lead with five goals and nine points in five games and led in plus/minus at +8.
She was also named the top forward, most valuable player and was named to the all-star team.
Potomak attends the Pursuit of Excellence Hockey Academy in Kelowna and is off to the University on Minnesota next year on schol-arship.
Potomak youngest at Canadian camp
The Langley Knights have their work cut out for them-selves if they hope to capture the Harold Brittain Division title.
With five games to play, the junior B hockey club trails the Aldergrove Kodiaks by five points in the race for top spot in the PJHL division.
The Knights have led the race for much of the season, but have just one win in their past five games, a 4-3 victory over the second-place Abbots-ford Pilots on Thursday (Jan. 22) at the George Preston Rec-reation Centre. But the team failed to build any momentum from that win after losing 5-2 on Saturday night to the MIs-sion City Outlaws at the Mis-sion Leisure Centre.
Against the Pilots, Lang-ley trailed 3-1 in the second period before rallying back with three unanswered goals. Dylan McCann scored the winner with less than three minutes to play.
Tristan Craighead, Alex Ka-lau and Carson Rose had the other goals while Cole Forbes stopped 27 shots for the win.
Against the Outlaws, the teams were tied at two af-ter 40 minutes but Mission City scored three times in the third.
McCann and Mitchell Bier-mann had the Langley goals.
The Outlaws are one point back of Langley for third place in the division.
Meanwhile, Aldergrove has four wins in their past five
games, including a pair last week, 8-3 over the Outlaws at the Aldergrove Arena on Jan. 21 and 4-3 in overtime against the Ridge Meadows Flames on Jan. 23.
Cameron Davitt led the way in the first game with two goals and five points while Quinncy Leroux (two goals, one assist), Eric Callegari (one goal, two assists and Elvis Jan-sons (one goal, two assists) each had three points.
Davitt also had the overtime winner in the next game while Brandon Dolby scored twice. Jansons had the other goal.
Aldergrove hosts the Grand-view Steelers on Wednesday (Jan. 28) while Langley wel-comes Mission City to town the following night.
Knights trail Kodiaks for top spot as regular season draws to close
Aldergrove’s Sarah Potomak is the youngest player at Canada’s women’s national hockey team camp this week in Quebec.
