Metal thieves back at it here

ALDERGROVE STAR

By NATASHA JONESAldergrove Star

Th e price of copper has reached pre-recession levels, causing a resurgence of the theft of phone lines which house the metal.

However, the thieves appear to be targeting fi bre optic cables, and the fi bre contains no copper, the metal of choice for thieves because of skyrocketing prices.

But while cutt ing or damaging the fi bres may yield litt le of value to thieves, thousands of customers are being inconvenienced.

Telus spokesman Shawn Hall there were 200 cases in the com-pany’s territory last year, most of them in the Lower Mainland. More than 10 per cent occurred in Langley.

According the police, Langley accounts for 40 per cent of metal theft s that occur in the Lower Mainland.

“Surrey is another hot spot,” Hall said.Telus is concerned that when phone lines are down, customers

are put at risk in emergencies.Th at was Darlene Poitras’ concern when thieves who cut Telus

cables on Aug. 3 left her and residents in the Old Yale Road/232 Street rural neighbourhood without land line service for two days.

Hall said that the number of incidences rose last year to pre-recession levels.

Phone lines can be cut accidentally by construction workers or as the result of traffi c mishaps, but “well over half of our outages” are caused by the theft of equipment, Hall said.

While it costs Telus around $50,000 per incident in repairs, “of greater concern to us is the risk to customers’ lives,” Hall said.

Fibre optics cables contain mainly glass and plastic, and are therefore of no monetary value to thieves, he said.

Th e public can help curb the theft s.“If you see anything suspicious up a pole, call 911,” Hall said,

adding that sometimes the thieves dress in white and drive white vans that resemble those used by Telus.

Poitras said she would like the Township to adopt a strict bylaw that would make it diffi cult for people to dispose of stolen metal.

Th e Township has sent a draft bylaw to Victoria with the hope that the government will use it as the basis of legislation to regu-late the scrap metal dealers uniformly across the province. As well, Langley’s position will be presented to next month’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention.

Young man in critical condition aft er River Road crashBlack Press

A passenger from a Nissan is in hospital with critical injuries aft er a single-car crash early Sun-day morning.

Shortly before 12:30 a.m., Langley RCMP were called to a single vehicle collision on River Road at Armstrong.

Th e collision involved a Nissan car with three occupants, including the driver. Th e westbound vehicle drove off the road to the right, became air-borne and fl ipped several times.

Aldergrove Star N E W S

By KURT LANGMANNBlack Press

Th e other day Mary Sanderson popped her head into Th e Star’s offi ce on one of her regular walkabouts in the community. Th e reason? She wanted to invite me, “another Aldergrove old-timer,” to her 100th birthday party.

Th at gave me a bit of a chuckle, as I am gett ing up there but I’m still young enough to be one of her grand-children. But that’s Mary for you; endearing and funny as all get-up.

Perhaps it’s her Irish blood, as she was the fi rst-born of seven to Irish immigrants Tom and Maria Lockhart. Th e couple came to Colberg, Ontario just over 100 years ago and soon aft er Mary arrived the young family sett led near Regina, Saskatchewan.

Or perhaps it’s her long history in Aldergrove. Mary and husband George Sanderson met in the Prairies and kept mov-ing west until they found their perfect patch of farmland in Aldergrove in 1944.

George and Mary raised their three children, Shirley, Stewart and Heather, here in Aldergrove. George worked as a surveyor for the highways department for many years, while Mary worked just shy of 20 years as a clerk at Ott er Co-op before retiring, only to spend the next 25 years as a volunteer at the Aldergrove Seniors Th rift Store.

“I liked Aldergrove from the very beginning,” said Mary. “Our kids

went to school here and they liked it too.”

Th en again, it could be her human relations skills that she nurtured from her early years as a store clerk and shopkeeper that makes her such a charmer to all who know her.

George was certainly smitt en by the tiny dynamo we know as Mary. He had been working on the railroad in northern Saskatchewan before tak-ing up a job at the same store Mary worked at. Th e couple got married and as Mary says, “Th e wages were so darned small that it took two of us to feed the two of us. Th en we took

a trip to Banff to see what that was like and we said we’ve got to go further to see what the coast was like.”

Th e couple stopped in Trail for eight years while George worked in the smelter and the couple ran a grocery store on the side for eight years. Th ey fi nally stopped moving west when they sett led on their 272 Street acreage in

Aldergrove 67 years ago.George succumbed to a heart

att ack in 1967 before he could real-ize their dream of turning their prop-erty into a garden nursery, but Mary kept herself active as a member of the Aldergrove Old Age Pensioners Organization and spearheaded its off -shoot, the Seniors Th rift Store.

Th is store, operated solely by Mary’s merry band of volunteers for about 25 years, contributed might-ily to a myriad of charitable causes and made a real diff erence in many

lives. Bursaries to local students were handed out every year, cheques were issued to non-profi t societies from across the spectrum, and money and goods were also routinely doled out to families here who were struggling.

But Mary fi nally ran out of steam a few years back and handed over the store’s operations to Aldergrove Neighbourhood Services (it has since been handed over to the Salvation Army and continues to operate as the Salmart on 272 Street).

“It was a good store; people today still tell me they were pleased with the way we looked aft er it and the community,” said Mary.

Mary still lives on her own in an apartment in Aldergrove and only recently gave up her driver’s licence. Her mind and body are still sound, although she now has to use a walker to get around on her regular and brisk strolls here. She also remains an active gardener, busily tending her litt le plot of fl owers and vegetables.

She always was a tiny lady, proving the old adage that good things truly do come in small packages.

Mary’s spirit of community ser-vice will be celebrated this Saturday, August 27, 1 p.m. at her 100th birth-day luncheon at the Aldergrove OAPO Hall. Her two surviving chil-

dren, Heather and Shirley, and Mary’s grandchildren and great-grandchil-dren will att end, as will Star seniors’ correspondent Maudie MacPherson and many other old friends in the community.

However, before hanging up the phone Mary gets one more dig in.

“Your daughter, the one that helps the seniors over at Lion’s Grove, I hope she can come too,” says Mary.

“You mean my wife, Sylvia?” I respond.

“Th at’s right, Sylvia, that’s her name,” Mary replies, mischievously.

We wouldn’t miss it for the world, Mary. Happy birthday.

Home prices gainBlack Press

Home prices are hanging onto signifi cant one-year gains in the Lower Mainland.

Th e benchmark price for detached houses topped $898,000 in July, a 13.3 per cent increase from a year ago, reported the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

Th e association, which covers Metro Vancouver except Surrey, White Rock and Langley, reported apartment benchmark prices were up 4.5 per cent over one year to $405,000 while att ached units were up 6.9 per cent to $525,000. Fraser Valley realtors said detached houses sold for a benchmark price of $534,000 there in July, a gain of about 4.6 per cent from the same month in 2010.

Townhouses and condos in the Valley were each up by less than two per cent.

Credit union supports new hospiceAustin BalmerAldergrove ‘Champ’ marks 65 years of key tags

Local members of the War Amps Child Amputee Program (CHAMP) who recently joined the Association’s Playsafe/Drivesafe fl oat in the Ste-veston Salmon Festival Parade helped to mark a milestone - 65 years of key tags.

Austin Balmer, 5, a right arm ampu-tee, of Aldergrove, rode the fl oat as a Safety Ambassador.

A special sign on the fl oat marked the 65th anniversary of War Amps key tags. Public support of key tags allows the War Amps to run its many programs such as CHAMP, which provides child amputees across Canada with funding for artifi cial limbs, regional seminars, and programs like Matching Mothers.

Astar, the gold robot from Planet Danger was also front and centre, re-minding kids that he can put his arm back on, but they can’t, so “Playsafe!”

“All of the Champs who joined the fl oat today are part of our National Safety Ambassador Team,” said Rob Larman, director of Playsafe/Drive-safe, who himself lost a leg at the age of 14 when friends dared him to jump a train.

“Th is kids-to-kids approach gets the message across to children in a way that they can relate to and that they will remember.”

100th Birthday on Saturday, August 27th,

Black Press

Th e Abbotsford Police Department’s gang suppression unit (GSU) is at a “heightened aware-ness” about criminal activity in the community following the Kelowna shooting that killed Jonathan Bacon, 30, and injured four others.

Sgt. Casey Vinet said the poten-tial for retaliation is of concern in Abbotsford, and across the prov-ince, although there is no reason to believe this community is specifi -cally at risk.

“Having said that, we are well aware that violence can occur any-where, anytime,” he said.

Vinet said the APD has been speaking with its partner agencies, including the Lower Mainland’s Integrated Gang Task Force, on current gang activity and the move-ment of criminals.

None of the victims of Sunday’s shooting outside the Delta Grand Hotel currently resides in Abbotsford, but Bacon grew up in the community and lived here until moving to Port Moody in 2009. Police have not revealed where he had been living just prior to his death, but have said it was not in Abbotsford.

Also with Bacon in the target-ed Porsche Cayenne were Larry Amero of the White Rock Hells Angels, and Independent Soldier James Riach, according to media reports. Amero is recovering in hos-pital, while Riach fl ed the scene.

Two unidentifi ed women were also injured.

Vinet said he could not reveal any specifi cs about the current gang situation in Abbotsford, only that the same groups identifi ed in the past continue to be active.

Higher profi le drug arrests by the GSU in the last year have mainly consisted of members of the Duhre Group and the UN Gang.

Although police have not deter-mined, or will not say, which group is responsible for Sunday’s shoot-ing, speculation is high that either, or both, of those organizations could be behind the targeted hit.

Meanwhile, Darryl Plecas, a criminology expert at University of the Fraser Valley, predicts that retaliation will be not be as quick as most people believe, due to intense police scrutiny in the aft ermath of the Kelowna shooting.

He also believes that “this outra-geous display of violence” does not signal a return to the same level that occurred in the Lower Mainland in 2009, when gang shootings and murders were rampant.

Since then, police have improved their ability to gather information and head off potential issues before they occur. In Abbotsford, for exam-ple, the 14-member GSU formed in spring 2010. By the end of the year, the unit had compiled a list of 183 gang members and associates active in the community, and staged 36 “disruptions” of gang activities such as grow rips and abductions.

Plecas said the Kelowna shoot-ing is not a sign that police are doing a poor job.

“Th ey are making incredible inroads, but they’re still playing catch-up, if you will ... Th ey don’t have enough resources to be on top of every gang that’s out there, but that will happen.”

Police have said Bacon and his two brothers – Jamie, 26, and Jarrod, 28 – were associated with the Red Scorpion gang, which engaged in warfare on Lower Mainland streets with rival the UN Gang over control of the drug trade in 2008-09.

Kelowna RCMP released a photo of the silver/green Ford Explorer that the shooter (or shoot-ers) was suspected to be driving at

the time of the hit. Anyone who observed the

vehicle during the weekend of Aug. 12-14 is asked to call the Kelowna detachment at 250-762-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-5477 with details.

VIOLENCE DOWN Abbotsford was dubbed the

“Murder capital of Canada” for the number of homicides that occurred in the city in 2008 and 2009, but police have said an increased focus on tackling gang violence is respon-sible for reducing those numbers.

Th ere were six murders in Abbotsford in 2008 and 11 the fol-lowing year, compared to four in 2010 and none so far this year.

Also down are the number of shootings and violent assaults. Th e latest Stats Canada fi gures, released last month, showed that Abbotsford had recorded a 26 per cent drop in violent crime from 2009 to 2010.

Although there have been no homicides this year, there have been four targeted shootings:

– Jan. 4, eight to 12 shots were fi red at a home at 2504 Bradner Rd., narrowly missing a 25-year-old woman who had pulled into the driveway.

– Feb. 20, 10 shots were fi red at a home on Hope Road, where a family with no criminal background lived. A man who police believe was affi liated with the Duhre Group was the intended target but lived in a diff erent house on the same street.

– March 11, there was a drive-by shooting in a home in the 32900 block of Gatefi eld Avenue which was occupied by two young chil-dren and four adults.

– June 9, eight to 12 shots were fi red at a home on Monteray Place which was owned by the parents of Shafa Aram, who served a four-year manslaughter sentence for a 2003 shooting death.

VICTORIA – He would never quite admit it, but former premier Gordon Campbell’s push for self-suf-fi ciency in clean electricity has always looked to me like a long-term strategy to export hydroelectric power.

It still looks that way. B.C.’s spring and summer runoff match perfectly with peak air-conditioner season in California. But the recent review of BC Hydro opera-tions discusses how the pros-pects for exports have changed since Campbell’s 2007 energy plan.

Th e government instructed BC Hydro to wean itself off power imports by 2016, even in drought years, and obtain new capacity mostly from outside sources with net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Nuclear plants were formally ruled out.

Th e review of BC Hydro by three top bureaucrats acknowledges that govern-ment directions have “placed pressure on BC Hydro to increase their energy supply through increased long-term agreements with independent power producers (IPPs).”

Cue the doomsayers. Independent power produc-tion is enemy number one for BC Hydro unions.

Th eir champion, NDP energy critic John Horgan, was immediately out with a grossly distorted version of the report. He cherry-picked statistics to compare the $124-per-megawatt hour average cost

for delivering independent power with the lowest end of the spot market for electricity, which currently swings wildly from around $4 to more than $50.

In fact the report puts the average price paid for IPP power at $63.85.

Compare that with the pro-jected cost of $87 to $95 for power from Site C, the pro-posed third dam on the Peace River that will be BC Hydo owned and operated.

Th e $124 fi gure includes other costs, notably extending the electricity grid to connect IPPs.

Horgan claims to favour wind or run-of-river for remote areas with no other clean energy option, but apparently is against hooking them up to the grid.

(Further evidence that current NDP energy policy is nonsense: Horgan opposes Site C based on an assumption of litt le or no growth in mines, mills or other industries such as liquefi ed natural gas, which an NDP government would be a good bet to deliver. He’s against smart meters for the same reason he’s against the HST – because it looks like a popular pose right now.)

When it comes to elec-tricity exports, the important point is not what power sells for today, but what it will be worth a decade from now. And that depends on whether clean energy can command a pre-mium price, and whether coal and other fossil fuel sources

have a carbon price imposed on them.

Conventional wisdom right now is that carbon taxes and cap and trade programs are, if not dead, at least dormant in North America. Climate change has fallen off the front page as the U.S. and Europe grapple with economic trou-bles.

So I was surprised to fi nd that this month Powerex, BC Hydro’s electricity trad-ing company, wrote to the California Air Resources Board asking for clarifi cation of the state’s proposed changes to its greenhouse gas reporting and cap and trade rules.

California wants to pre-vent suppliers from engag-ing in “resource shuffl ing,” where a supplier such as B.C. might import coal power from Alberta for its own use, while selling supposedly clean power for export.

Considering that restric-tion, B.C.’s self-suffi ciency rule starts to make more sense. If B.C. is not importing power, its supply must be clean.

Also, a meta-analysis on climate eff ects came out last week in the journal Science, detailing world-wide species migration due to warming.

Clean energy sales to California are a long way off , but it would be a mistake to reject the possibility.

Power export plan isn’t dead yet

Editor:Councillor Kim Richter thinks that subdivisions are the problem

with the Hopington area. I disagree. I guess she needs a platform heading into an election, and of

course everyone hates subdivisions, so why not tag that with the contentious Hopington aquifer and assure a seat on council.

Our family have lived on farmland above the aquifer since June of 1946. Having a dug well of 70 feet deep that was slow to refi ll taught us to be very mindful of water useage. We have never watered our lawns and all livestock waterers are checked regularly for any prob-lems and repaired immediately if one is found.

At present there are 14 steers and four goats on the farm and my water systems tells me that my average daily usage during this warm spell is just over 160 imperial gallons per day. In the winter with-out the catt le it is down to about 50 gallons. So where is the water from the Hopington going? If it is being drawn off for the Glouc-ester industrial park, another water supply should be considered immediately.

First, let’s start with the ALR. Th e ALR was brought in because big farms were being gobbled up by expanding cities and villages. Something clearly had to be done to save the land for future food production. Langley at the time was made up of some dairy farms, a few berry farms and a lot of small hobby farms – although at the time no one called them that. Because it was rural people who usually raised their own beef, pork, mutt on, and vegetables. Th e legislation locked the land into the ALR regardless of the quality or viability of the land, but most importantly without any regard for water to support these farms. We all know you can’t grow food without water, but apparently no one thought to check.

In the last couple of years I have seen very litt le building on the Hopington, but I have seen quite a few blueberry farms and some very big poultry barns. Th e 20 acres of blueberries across the street from us was planted in the last three years. Last year the owner in-stalled an irrigation system. Today I looked as the drip system was on and noticed the water between the rows in the low areas to be about four inches deep. I would estimate his usage at approximately 20,000 to 25,000 gallons per day, using in two days more than our farm uses in year. I don’t know what a large poultry barn consumes in a day but imagine it is considerable.

In 1998 I had to deepen our well from 70 feet to 147 feet and if things keep going the way they are eventually deepening it won’t do any good. Now I have nothing against these businesses, but one has to ask, is the Hopington water just for the crops or is it for the people who live on it? Because when the water is gone no one will be growing food.

Which brings me back to my point concerning subdivisions; per-haps it is time to have the land reassessed and allow some subdi-vision on marginal land, and use the development to bring water into the area for the residences presently drawing water from the Hopington.

Th e provincial government has created this problem so they are the ones that should fi x it. Sett ing aside land for future food produc-tion without regard for other requirements is a litt le short sighted. We don’t need more regulations on the Hopington or in the ALR without some study, and hopefully soon.

I am beginning to feel as though we are being punished because of where we live.

Mel Fast, Aldergrove

Wishing Bateman wellEditor:I am writing to personally thank Jordan Bateman for his six years

of service to our community as a Councillor on the Langley Town-ship Council. I also wish him well in his new career with the Cana-dian Taxpayers Federation, who are lucky to have att racted a person as informed, well writt en and capable as Jordan.

Jordan did his job as councillor while supporting and raising a young family. Jenn and the children also deserve our thanks for the sacrifi ces they made while dad and husband gave back to the com-munity he grew up in.

Jordan and I met when he was a report for a local newspaper. We have become friends.

I hope that other young people will enter into public life and lead our community in the future like Jordan has. Not to mention teach-ing us old dogs the usefulness of Facebook, Twitt er and the like in communicating with our constituents. We wish him well.

Editor: On behalf of our family we

would like to thank everyone that came out on August 6 to help us make the “Bentley 4 Babies” fund-raiser a success.

We were able to raise $3,913.88 and we are still counting!

To bring the cheque to the BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre Foundation is going to be a great feeling for us and we sin-cerely thank everyone for making it possible.

We would like to say a special thanks to Ryan Hegan and Hotsy for the generous donations of the pressure washer and soap, to Al-dergrove Royal Canadian Legion for generously providing space and tables, also to Windsor Pizza, and of course to Bentley’s primary nurses and the hospital.

Congratulations to Mike and Debbie on winning the Canucks jerseys.

It was amazing to see everyone come together for such an im-portant cause and to hear other people’s stories; it is comforting to

know that we are not alone in this and our son Bentley will never be forgott en.

We would like to make Bentley 4 Babies an annual event so look for us next year.

Th anks also to Th e Star for put-ting our story in the paper, it was a great help and we got a great response.

Jeff , Shelly, Dylon and Ava Dixon, Aldergrove

Family raises $4K for hospital

SUBMITTED PHOTOShelly and Jeff Dixon thank Ryan Hegan (centre) and the Aldergrove com-munity for supporting the family’s “Bentley 4 Babies” fundraising car wash, barbecue and bottle drive for B.C. Women’s Hospital on August 6.

How can this be judged ‘fair’?

Editor:I see on TV the other night that we are served up yet

another case of ICBC arrogance.A woman’s car is rear-ended whilst the vehicle she is

driving is stationary at a stop sign, and somehow, ICBC makes it an 50/50 claim.

Th rough its own legion of in-house lawyers they fi ght her claim in court and win on the grounds that the road was oily! So, next rear-ender I’m involved in, I can use this lame brain excuse?

ICBC has a penchant for making claims 50/50 respon-sibility so it can make both drivers pay the deductible. Th e cost of repairs are the same regardless, so this is ICBC’s way of cutt ing cost.

Th is, on top of huge bonuses and raises they have given themselves and over $500 million to the B.C. government coff ers.

Th is is a corporation in direct confl ict of interest. It must be abolished as is, as it has become nothing more than an extension to your government’s tax collection system.

ICBC was originated with the idea of fair policies and reasonable rates. Clearly, both have long been abandoned by ICBC’s top brass (or is that gold?).

And, by the way, the smug English guy they have as a spokesman comes over as uncaring and arrogant, and is doing nothing to help ICBC’s image.

Time to get rid of ICBC in its current corrupt form and give B.C. drivers truly fair treatment.

Colin Atkinson, Aldergrove

Bouquets for our hanging baskets

Editor:I want to thank the folks

who pushed for the fl ower baskets in Aldergrove along Fraser Highway.

Th ey are beautiful and add colour and life.

I’m an avid gardener and love my fl owers. I tend to many gardens and spend a lot of time there.

I also want to share one of my many poems on this subject:“Isn’t it wonderfulHow a fl ower or twoCan brighten our pathwayAnd cheer our hearts tooHow the lilt of a songMakes us happy and gayAnd a rainbow brings hopeAft er skies have gone grey?Could there be greater proofTh at there’s Someone, SomewhereWho blesses us dailyAnd answers all prayerGreater proof that there’s Someone who guides and leadsAnd “whose grace is suf-fi cient” For all of our needs!”Th anks again.

Edie Mabby, Aldergrove

Isn’t Canada supposedly a bilingual country?Editor:Th e dailies recently ran a story re-

garding the Yukon territory and the demands of the French-speaking population of that area that a new school be built to accommodate the French speaking population; a mere 4.1% of the total.

With pressure from the federal gov-ernment, their demands were met. It was also reported that the Minis-ter of Languages is implementing a survey to ensure all French speaking residents living in Ott awa receive ad-equate service in their own language.

Travel to Quebec. See if you can

fi nd one traffi c sign in English. Get a traffi c ticket and try and decipher what it says if you don’t speak French. Quebec’s Bill 101 states that French is the only offi cial language of the province.

So much for a bilingual Canada! Mike Harvey, Langley

For the Love of a Child returns for the third year to Langley City’s Douglas Park this weekend.

Th e annual music festival, this year titled All My Love, happens on Saturday, Aug. 27, 2:30 to 9:30 p.m. It will go rain or shine on the Spirit Square stage in Douglas Park, 20550 Douglas Cres.

Singer Jackie Maksymiw is once again organizing the event in support of her nine-year-old niece, Julia, a bone cancer survivor.

Local artists from Langley, the Fraser Valley and across Lower Mainland, including instrumentalists, vocalists and dancers will volunteer their talents, performing a variety of music, from barbershop, to classical, contemporary, gospel, musical theatre and jazz for the community’s entertainment.

Th e event is free of charge, however, donations will be accepted on admission and throughout the event. Cash, cheques and coins are happily accepted.

Some chairs will be provided, but visitors are encouraged to bring blan-

kets, chairs and tents as desired.

Last year’s concert raised money for a cus-tom-made bike and ongo-ing rehabilitation therapy for Julia, who at three years old, lost her leg to osteo-sarcoma and later had a malignant lung tumour – oft en associated with the bone cancer – removed. Th is summer, the goal is to raise $6,000 to pay for a year of adaptive pediatric physiotherapy.

Performing along-side Maksymiw, will be Andrew McDougall , Nick

Parsons, Daphne Rademaker, Calvin Dyck, Doug Makela, Mixed Company and Even Keel.

Th e sound of love

By DAN KINVIGBlack Press

During his introductory press conference just over two weeks ago, Ryan Walter said one of his chief goals as the new president and CEO of the Abbotsford Heat was to strengthen the hockey franchise’s connection to the community.

In the days since then, Walter, a Langley resident, has demonstrated he plans to lead by example in that respect.

Last Saturday, the former NHLer and his wife Jennifer became more familiar with the city during a bus tour hosted by the City of Abbotsford’s economic develop-ment department.

Th en it was off to the Abbotsford International Airshow, the city’s sig-nature summer event, where Walter signed autographs and handed out Heat ballcaps to as many people as possible.

“I’d look at a litt le guy and say, ‘We’re going to change your hat – are you okay with that?’” Walter recounted with a chuckle. “And I’d rip their hat off , and I’d put on a Heat hat. Th e kids loved it.”

Walter believes that interaction – putt ing Heat hats on Abbotsford heads, one at a time – is a great metaphor for what the American Hockey League franchise needs to do as it seeks to grow the business.

Th e 53-year-old New Westminster native, who played 15 NHL seasons with the Washington Capitals , Montreal Canadiens and Vancouver Canucks , is well aware of the challenges facing the Heat.

Th e franchise has been at the lower end of the AHL att en-dance rankings since moving to Abbotsford prior to the 2009/10 season, averaging 3,852 fans per home game over the past two years. Th at the Heat are affi liated with the Calgary Flames – division rivals of the Vancouver Canucks – hasn’t exactly greased the skids.

Th e Heat’s 10-year supply fee agreement to play out of the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre, which guarantees the team a break-even budget of up to $5.7 million annually, brings extra scrutiny.

Th e City of Abbotsford covered a shortfall of $450,637 in 2009/10, and it’s estimated the defi cit for 2010/11 will be in the $1.2 million range.

But Walter believes there are rea-sons for optimism moving forward. Th e staff in the Heat’s business offi ce, he says, have learned things over the fi rst two seasons that will help to improve the enterprise.

Case in point is the schedul-ing process. In years past, the vast majority of the Heat’s home sched-ule consisted of back-to-back games against the same team.

Th at led to a certain amount of fan fatigue, according to Walter. Th e Heat’s 2011/12 schedule sees a signifi cant reduction in consecutive home games.

“When you think about it, we’re like any young business,” Walter said. “We’re in year three, and this should be a bett er year. But noth-ing’s going to happen overnight. We’re not going to create miracles here. But we are in a growth curve, and we think we’ve got some good momentum.”

Ask Walter about his vision for the franchise, and the fi rst thing out of his mouth is, “I want to win championships.”

“Put it on the table,” he says with a shrug. “It’s hard, but you don’t play to lose.”

To that end, Walter is pleased with the increased investment the NHL parent Flames have made in their AHL club this summer.

Aft er trott ing out the AHL’s youngest roster last season, the Flames have brought in a series of veteran pros who could lead the way in Abbotsford, or fi ll in with the NHL club if the need arises.

Defencemen Clay Wilson, Derek Smith and Jordan Henry would add a great deal of poise and point production from the blue line, and former Canuck forward Guillaume Desbiens brings a great deal of toughness and a decent scoring touch.

Th en there’s Ben Walter , Ryan’s son, a 27-year-old centre who fi n-ished ninth in AHL scoring last sea-son with the Lake Erie Monsters.

He signed a two-way contract with the Flames as a free agent back in July.

“As a dad, I’m thinking, ‘Oh, I so much hope he’s in Calgary,’” the elder Walter said with a chuckle. “And as the president here, I’m going, ‘I so much hope he’s going to be here.’”

In the end, it all comes back to that community connection for the new Heat president.

“Th ey need to see us as part of the fabric of Abbotsford,” he said.

“If we had 3,500 people (from Abbotsford) who came consistent-ly to every home game, from the other footprint area we could easily sell out every night.”

As he ponders building the Heat brand, Walter recalls one of his favourite quotes from motivational speaker Marcus Buckingham .

“He said, ‘Leadership is inspir-ing people to a bett er future,’ ” he said. “I love that thought.

“I would love our people and our larger community of Abbotsford to be thankful for the last two years. Were they hard years? Yup. And we’re so thankful for the city for underwriting those years.

“And then, just really be inspired that this is their team, and that the future is bright. Th at’s the key com-ponent that we need to keep mov-ing towards.

“And it’s up to us to create that sort of local momentum that helps that happen.”

Th e new face of Th e Heat

Aldergrove Star

Th e fi nal round of the Monster Energy Motocross Nationals in Walton, Ontario on Sunday proved to be a mixed bag of high winds, heavy rains, hail and sunshine. It also marked the offi cial crowning of Colton Facciott i Colton as MX1 Champion and his teammate Tyler Medaglia as MX2 Champion.

Fortunately, the tornado that ripped apart the downtown section of nearby Goderich spared the small town of Walton, but it did contribute severe weather that saw the second MX2 heat shortened to 15 minutes plus two laps, a back section of the track closed off , and the cancellation of the second MX1 heat.

While the sun did peek from behind the dark ominous clouds, it did so only between heats. About one third of the way through the fi rst MX2 heat it started to sprinkle followed by a fl oodgate of water that turned Walton Raceway into a total mudbog by the end of the second MX2 heat.

With Mother Nature’s rude interven-tion, the much-anticipated closing round of the nationals proved to be anticlimac-tic. As riders batt led each other they also had to contend with the elements, sticky, slimy mud, deep ruts, and pools of water. For Facciott i and Medaglia, however, it was business as usual.

In the fi rst MX2 heat, defending champ Medaglia grabbed the hole-shot and led wire to wire. He was never

threatened for position as the rest of the top-10 contenders fought for position and survival on a slowly deteriorating track.

For Tyler Medaglia, it was mission completed: he had the 2011 champion-ship wrapped up and joined the illus-trious club of claiming more than one national title. In the shortened second heat, Durham snared the holeshot and led for a few laps until Medaglia stuck a muddy pass on him.

From that point on, Medaglia stayed in control of the heat fi nishing well ahead of Politelli, Richard Grey, Zack Duff , and Dylan Kaelin.

In MX1 action, Facciott i snared the holeshot and led for a few laps until Robby Marshall passed him.

Facciott i reclaimed the lead a short time later and led for the rest of the heat. In his usual smooth cruise control style, Facciott i fi nished about half a lap ahead of second place.

Behind Facciott i there were supreme batt les for a top-fi ve fi nish, which ulti-mately saw Swiss guest rider and reign-ing MX3 World Champion Julien Bill claim second, Marshall third, Dusty Klatt fourth, and Iain Hayden fi ft h.

Bill, who got a top-10 start, stuck a pass on Marshall for second place with less than half a lap to go. Meanwhile, 2010 MX1 champ Klatt , who was taken down by another rider in a fi rst turn crash, took most of the heat to deft ly work his way from dead last to fourth.

When 25-year-old Tiff any MacDonald of Aldergrove takes to the track for a night of racing in her ‘72 Chev C-10 truck, she does so with the complete blessing and sup-port of her family and friends.

Tiff any’s dad, Paul, is her crew chief, her mom, Claire, is her man-ager, and her boyfriend, Trevor Nystrom, is a member of her pit team.

MacDonald and her ride - nicknamed ‘Casper’ - were on hand at the Merritt Speedway this past Saturday for some good old-fashioned “fast running” on the dirt.

While she didn’t win any races, Tiff any did manage a trio of third-place fi nishes in the Street class, and had a whole lot of fun at the same time.

“I just love to race,” says

MacDonald. “It’s such an adrenaline rush.”

MacDonald could be forgiven for not having the edge over the other drivers and cars in her division. She’s only just returned to racing aft er a 15-year hiatus.

“I used to do quarter midgets back when I was 9-10 years old. Th en I kind of got into horses for a while. I rode a lot of English and Western.

But I knew that I would always come back to racing eventually.”

Th is was only Mac-Donald’s sec-ond visit ever to Merritt . She’s more comfortable at the moment racing on paved tracks, such as at Agassiz and Vernon. “It’ll take her a while to get comfortable on the dirt,” states Paul. “You can see with each race how she’s gett ing more confi dent with the han-dling.”

While the MacDonalds’ ‘72 truck is up for sale, the family already has a nearly identical ‘68 version ready and waiting in the wings.

As for a return to Merritt in the near future, Paul says they’ll be back for sure. “Th is speedway is a hidden gem. B.C.’s best kept secret.”

MacDonald went on to add, “It’s because of the att itude of the people. So relaxed. Very comfortable.”

It’s Back to School Time!As a new school year begins, the Township of Langley, ICBC, RCMP, and School District are reminding drivers to plan ahead, drive with extra caution, and watch out for children. Drivers must remember that when school is in session, a 30 km/h school zone speed limit is in effect from 8am to 5pm, unless otherwise posted. Also, remember that vehicles approaching from both directions must stop for school buses when their lights are fl ashing and stop arm is down.

Tips for Pedestrians:Sidewalks:• If there is a sidewalk, use it

• If there is no sidewalk:

• Walk on the left, facing traffi c

• Walk on the gravel shoulder or grass boulevard

• Walk on the road edge after traffi c passes

Crossing the street:• Never jaywalk

• Look left, look right, then look left again

• Cross when the street is clear, but keep looking and listening

• Do not step onto the roadway until all vehicles have stopped moving

• Watch for left and right turning vehicles

• Look at the driver to make eye contact

• Remember, a crosswalk does not guarantee safety

Tips for Drivers:• Obey the posted speed limit and any parking restrictions

• Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at all intersections and crosswalks

• Watch for children, especially near or around crosswalks and intersections

• Driving routes that have less traffi c in the summer may now be congested, so give yourself extra time to get to your destination

• When dropping off children in a school zone, have them exit from the sidewalk side of the car. Never allow a child to cross mid-block

• Consider having your older student walk to a set meeting point away from congested areas

• Be considerate of our school neighbors and make sure your vehicle is not blocking a driveway

• Remember, your children are learning from your example. Show them you are a considerate, courteous driver
