Dump truck crash kills driver Portion of freeway closed for nine hours Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
Traffic was closed for several hours along Highway 1 westbound between Mt. Lehman Road and 264 Street, following a fatal single-vehicle crash Wednesday morning. The accident occurred at about 9 a.m. just east of the 264 Street off-ramp and involved a dump truck with a trailer. “We’re still not sure exactly what the cause of the accident is. It looks towards mechanical, but we won’t know for several hours yet if we can confirm that it was a mechanical failure,” RCMP Cpl. Robert McDonald said at the scene. Police have not released the driver’s name. Some Facebook

A crash involving a dump truck killed the driver on Wednesday and shut down westbound Highway 1 traffic for several hours between 264 Street and Mt. Lehman Road. posts from family and friends of the driver identified him as “Malhi” and said he was 24 years old. They stated the crash occurred when one of the truck’s tires blew,
causing the vehicle to flip. While investigators were on the scene, traffic was diverted at the Mt. Lehman Road exit, until the freeway re-opened at about 6
p.m. The highway closure snarled commuters’ drive home throughout the region Wednesday night. There was stop-andgo traffic along the

will be required to bring it back to its full potential as a suitable habitat for several species of flora and fauna. Previously, many donations received have been of “degraded habitat,� said Neilson. The conservancy then had to deal with invasive species, drainage and other issues. While this area will be maintained for wildlife, it is not a public place, said Neilson.
“The area isn’t suitable for human recreation,� she said, noting the area is boggy for about eight months each year, and is replete with stinging nettles and devil’s club. Even though humans aren’t encouraged to traipse across the land, it is a home for some notable species at risk. The mountain beaver is one of the more rare animals that lives on the site, said Neilson. This rodent isn’t truly
a beaver, and doesn’t build dams. Rather it crafts burrows near creeks, and primarily eats sword ferns. It is on the federal species at-risk list, which notes species as being either extirpated, endangered, threatened, or a special concern. The Oregon forest snail is abundant on the property, said Neilson, and the Fraser Valley is one of the few areas where the mollusk
can be found. The FVC also believes the Pacific water shrew could occupy the McKee Road property, given Sumas Mountain is at the very northern tip of its range. It has not yet been spotted. The FVC was established in 1998 as a nongovernmental organization and charitable society that seeks to protect land and water for future generations.

Blueberry boom challenges farmers, worries neighbours
A7
Industry looking to open markets overseas Tyler OLSEN and Alex BUTLER Abbotsford News
One of the most important booms in the propane cannon debate actually doesn’t make a sound. In the 1980s, around the time Parm Bains bought his Clayburn Road farm, there was concern among blueberry growers about how the local industry would handle rapidly increasing production. British Columbia was producing 20 million pounds of blueberries at the time. “We thought, ‘Oh my God, that’s too much, we can’t handle it,’ ” Bains recalls. Growers were worried the province was producing too many blueberries. Three decades later, industry watchers believe B.C. could produce 140 million pounds of blueberries in 2014, with Abbotsford accounting for around 40 per cent of that. The rise has been so rapid that the Ministry of Agriculture website still cites 20 million pounds of production. There is little sign that the growth is slowing, thanks in part to aggressive marketing of blueberries’ health benefits. “It’s the ‘healthy halo’ that continues to derive the demand,” says Bains, noting B.C. could top the 200 million pound mark in just three years. “There’s about 25,000-plus acres The News takes an in-depth look at the in the Valley and maybe 40 per controversy surrounding cent are mature,” he said. “So you bird scare devices. have 60 per cent that are in different stages of maturity.” Fourth in a series But that huge growth worries those annoyed by propane cannons and farmers themselves. Downes Road homeowner Merv Loewen said that every For Sale sign sparks anxiety among neighbours concerned that more blueberries will be planted and more propane cannons installed. “They’re taking over land left and right to put in more blueberries,” he said. The unchecked expansion also has the blueberry industry anticipating the day when more berries are being produced than the world wants. A recent report on the industry co-sponsored by the federal and B.C. governments noted that growers were beginning to see prices drop due to increased production both at home and internationally. “The current surplus of blueberries on the market has put

downward pricing pressure on producers and is now limiting their ability to cover costs,” the authors write. “In addition to the challenge of selling product in a saturated market, B.C. blueberry growers … must contend with extremely high land costs and face ongoing rural/urban conflicts.” The report also cites the high cost of labour and difficulties recruiting seasonal workers. Debbie Etsell, executive director of the B.C. Blueberry Council, spent much of last week with buyers from Asia. As production expands locally, growers are looking to foreign markets to soak up the increased supply. “We’re located quite well to do business with Asia,” Etsell said. Blueberries are already the province’s most exported fruit, but many markets remain untapped, including China, with whom negotiations are ongoing.
has grown into a marketing force that can sign large deals across the globe. Bains said that’s a good thing for all those who made the move “from dairy to berry,” as he put it. Whether that continues, he says, is a question for a crystal ball.
Resolving the cannon conflict
As the controversy over propane cannons seems poised to grow with the increase of berry fields – and with no provincial appetite to back opponents’ call for a ban on the devices – the blasting will continue for the foreseeable future. Without the use of cannons – protected under the provincial Right to Farm Act – some farmers feel their crops, along with their profits, may be decimated by the invasive starlings that feed on the berries. The City of Abbotsford’s attempt at a bylaw to impose a list of restrictions on cannon use in the city was denied by the province, which indicated the proposal would effectively ban cannons. An attempt at a less stringent set of regulations failed on a tie vote. Neighbouring Langley passed a bylaw for propane cannons that follows existing provincial guidelines, but makes additions such as registration fees, escalating fines and a minimum setback of 100 metres from all horse trails. But passing that local legislation also moved enforcement from the BC Blueberry Council to the city, which critics fear is simply downloading that responsibility without addressing the real issue of cannons – the noise. As Abbotsford has been unable to find a solution through bylaws, the focus at city hall has shifted to managing the populaTYLER OLSEN Abbotsford News tion of birds.

Homeless eviction
OF THE WEEK Do you support Hydro’s eviction order for homeless camps on its property along Gladys Avenue?
It’s about time someone cleans up that mess. I bet all the business in the area that have seen double digit increases in theft since the camps went up are more than happy to see the camps go. Michael Motut
To answer, go to abbynews.com
How about we have some low income housing available before you ship the homeless off to their demise? They aren’t going anywhere. This type of society will always have homelessness. Brian Smith
LAST WEEK, WE ASKED:
With the release of this year’s crime statistics, do you feel safer in Abbotsford?
How about they quit blaming everyone for their poor decisions? You chose to put a needle in your arm or take a puff from that crack pipe. Gary Pihowich People do not generally choose to be homeless. We cannot and should not make assumptions. If you are born into a generational cycle of alcohol drugs and abuse, it’s hard for one to know any different as we lead by example. Neeta Simon

Government: Wake up, and hear the cannons Andrew

On Point How do you stop a provincial government in its tracks, and make it run for cover, and hide behind old legislation? Put a blueberry in front of it. Or perhaps more accurately, a blueberry backed up by a propane cannon. Victoria has been utterly ineffective in dealing with a controversy that has grown from a virtual blip on the public radar 15 years go, to a full-blown controversy involving numerous communities, and countless residents and farmers. At issue are Audible Bird Scare Devices, or ABSDs. How this ever grew from a very bad idea to a “normal” farming practice is hard to comprehend, but here we are. There are hundreds of these infernal devices around the region, blasting away at deafening decibel levels, multiple times per minute – some all day, every day.
Not only did they gain popularity as a way to keep starlings and other birds off the lucrative blueberry crops, cannons became enshrined in the Right to Farm Act, behind which cluster provincial politicians when pushed by frustrated, stressed citizens for relief from the maddening racket. For the past two weeks, The News has explored the issue in depth in a series of stories. It’s absolutely obvious that the current situation is untenable in the long-term. The farming act is outdated, unreflective of what’s happening today. It’s also clear that viable alternatives to cannons exist for blueberry farmers. Many farms don’t use cannons, for a variety of reasons, including a shared dislike of the noise, and a willingness to try other methods such as falcons, streamers and kites. Flying drone aircraft also hold strong promise as an effective, far less intrusive solution. A number of things need to happen on
this issue. The shallow, ignorant argument so frequently put forth in response to cannon complainants – “You shouldn’t have moved next door to a blueberry farm?” – needs to be muzzled. The reality of the situation is that, blueberry farms are proliferating, commonly on acreage that once grew other, less lucrative crops. Many homeowners who have lived peacefully for years on their property suddenly find themselves cheek to jowl with a blueberry field that never existed previously. Civic governments also wear responsibility for approving residential zoning next to agricultural land, with little to no thought or care as to how this interface will manifest into conflict, especially when some of those farms switch from “silent” crops to blueberry farming, and choose cannons as their bird protection. The blueberry industry has become a juggernaut, and is poised to grow even
It’s absolutely obvious that the current situation is untenable.
larger as new Asian markets are opened up. Thousands of acres of agri land now growing cow feed or corn or raspberries are likely to be converted if the blue bonanza continues. So, this problem isn’t going to go away. It’s going to get worse. The provincial government has to grow a bigger set of berries, and finally tackle this issue, including: T Initiate strictly enforced and significantly increased maximum limits on the number of shots, minimum setbacks from housing, hours of operation, and decibel levels. T Set a deadline for the graduated phase-out of all cannons – say, two years max. T Get on the research wagon, and drive some innovative ideas and testing. T Examine existing starling management programs south of the border, develop built-in-B.C. versions, and get them implemented forthwith. All manner of industries face strident regulations and restrictions on what they can and cannot do. Among them, the blueberry industry has been a sacred cow that needs to be led down a more contemporary path.

Public Notice
ABSDs should not be a right As we are working on our farm on this gorgeous Sunday afternoon, we can’t help but feel frustrated by the noise of the propane cannons that we can hear from multiple different directions coming from the farms that surround us on all sides. As the cannons rotate, the shots that directly face us make us jump. They go off at least every minute when the noise is combined from all of the different farms.
We shouldn’t have to give up our task of working outside and leave our farm to avoid the noise. These ABSDs (audible bird scare devices) should not be considered a right to farm because they intrude other farming practices and people’s lives. Why should people using propane cannons have the right to intrude our lives? The use of these devices should be a criminal act. There are studies about the negative effects of noise on human

health and ABSDs are no exception. In addition, it’s obvious that they don’t work, simply from observation and studies that have been published in the past. There are many other methods of warding off birds that are more effective. It’s time to revise the use of these ABSDs. Allowing them in the first place was a big mistake and they should be outright banned. Jason Dumas, Abbotsford
Two blueberry farms; different approaches I live in North Bradner, near two blueberry farms. The farms happen to be right across the street from each other. One farm does not use cannons and seems to operate very successfully. The second farm – unfortunately, the farm closest to me – uses three triple-shot cannons. At one time or another, myself and many of my neighbours have spoken to the owner,
pointed out how annoying the cannons are, and have asked him to try something different, but to no avail. We wonder why do some blueberry growers act in such an unneighbourly manner? One farmer is proving every day that cannons are not necessary, while the other is the neighbour from hell. Don Gibbs, Abbotsford

Drones eyed as possible answer
From A7
cent meeting of the Fraser Valley Regional District, where the board of directors instructed staff to research the idea, with the intention that municipalities, districts and stakeholders would be involved as partners and pay into the program. Etsell said a few years ago the blueberry council had hired a contractor to look at a pilot program for starling management, “and at that time there was not any support from different regions or anything.” She added that now there are new discussions about a program – with Abbotsford as the most vocal stakeholder – “but the project is much bigger than that and takes more bodies than just Abbotsford.” Etsell added that starlings will never be eradicated, so a management program “is another tool in the toolbox. This is not a singular solution, this is another part of the solution to a big problem.” Darryl Plecas, MLA for Abbotsford-South, said he
has been working on ways to address the problem posed by cannons by bringing stakeholders together, including neighbours, farmers, and industry representatives, to look for viable solutions. In his view, the answer may come in the form of drones – small, remote-controlled aircraft – which must be easy to use and come at a low cost. “We’re fairly confident that the use of drones will be cheaper. It’s nowhere near what you think it will cost – and it’s very effective.” He said he has been working with a group to test the airborne devices, adding that he thinks once they can demonstrate success in Abbotsford “then we will be able to go … and get some help from the ministry of agriculture to roll this thing out.” Plecas said while many neighbours push for an all-out ban, with a viable alternative “the bylaws and all the other efforts is a non-issue.” He said the the best solution is to find some middle ground – meaning that the key is to find a viable, inexpensive alternative that can render cannons unnecessary.

Camps and kids foster a new image for skateboarding Sport teaches perseverance, says popular instructor Tyler OLSEN Abbotsford News
Four weeks after he first wobbled onto a skateboard at McMillan Youthpark, Aidan Fujita balanced on a ledge atop a quarterpipe nearly his height. At six years old, Aidan was the smallest and youngest of the dozen or so riders in Paul Thibault’s four-week summer camp. He also seemed to have the least fear. With Thibault’s assistance, Aidan dropped down on the ledge, stuck the landing and balled his fists in celebration. Soon, the rest of the class was emulating the smallest of the bunch. As nine-year-old Lolo Paller drops in, the wheels of her board skids out beneath her, but Thibault’s arm keep her from falling. “You tried to do something you’re scared of,” Thibault says. “I’m really stoked on that.” Within 15 minutes, Lolo will be dropping in and gliding away with relatively little help from the instructor. It has gone this way all July at the camp, thanks in large part to Thibault, who has drawn raves from both the young boarders and their parents. Thibault, 22, started skating after receiving a board for his sixth birthday. Like many, he learned the basics in a camp before embarking on his own. Now an employee
of Replay Board Shop, he has been leading camps for just two months. He says skateboarding is slowly shedding its stigma as an outlet for ne’er-do-wells, in part because of boarders like those in his camp. “It’s going away and it is because these young kids are picking up skateboards and they’re such great kids,” he said. Thibault teaches perseverance as much as anything, and stresses the importance of bouncing back from failure – whether it’s at school or on a halfpipe. “You fall a lot in skateboarding,” he said. When you see someone land a trick, you don’t see the 200 bails it took to get them to the point where they’re rolling away from it. It really shows the kids that when you fall, you have to get back up, and that it’s OK to fall.” Tag along for a lesson at the skatepark, and one hears Thibault say “It’s all good” over and over again. Safety is stressed, but there’s also a lot of talk about learning to accept fear. “It’s OK to be scared,” he tells one boarder. “It just means you’re doing something you haven’t done yet.” On the sidelines, parents watch in awe. Lola Paller enticed her friends and classmates Callum Oftebro and Charlie Lort to sign up for their first class in July. They’ll be back for another camp
in August “The whole stigma skateboarders have had is disappearing, said Charlie’s mother, Dragana Skoro. Boarders like Thibault, she said, “are changing the face of it, and Charlie loves it.” Lola’s mother Nicole agreed, saying “We could be here all day, every day.” Back on the park,
Thibault has gathered his “little army of skaters” for a quick pep talk on skateboarding’s value as exercise, on the importance to be aware of one’s surroundings and other park users, and about the true purpose of four wheels and a board. “It’s all about making progress and still having fun at the same time,” he says.

Man sentenced for arson Colby Jandrew pleads guilty to four counts
Vikki HOPES Abbotsford News
An arson spree that targeted businesses and homes in central Abbotsford in mid-April has netted a jail sentence of almost four years for a 20-year-old man. Colby Drew Jandrew was sentenced July 25 in Abbotsford provincial court to a prison term of three years and eight months after pleading guilty to three counts of arson damaging property and one count of arson in relation to inhabited property. Jandrew set three fires in the early morning of April 16: at an abandoned home on Hillcrest Avenue, at the outside rear of the Red Apple Food Store on Marshall Road while seven people were inside the residential units of the building, and at an outside covered area at a bank in the 2500 block of Clearbrook Road. Forty-eight hours later, two more arsons occurred – one at another abandoned home on Hillcrest Avenue and the other at a carport of a home occupied by four people on Adelaide Street. Jandrew was a person of interest in the arsons when he was arrested for, and charged with, a break-in on April 19. He was convicted of that offence on April 22 and sentenced to 30 days in jail. At a recent public meeting of the

Colby Jandrew of Abbotsford has been sentenced for a series of arsons, including this one that occurred at an abadoned home on Hillcrest Avenue on April 16. Abbotsford Police Board, Det. Tony Demers described the evidence that led to Jandrew’s arson charges, during a presentation on what goes on behind an investigation. Demers said evidence found at one of the scenes included an empty water bottle that contained accelerant. He said investigators pulled video footage from about 20 locations at and around the arsons and discovered a man wearing a grey track suit in several of the clips. In one of the videos, the man left the scene and returned wearing black track pants with green and white stripes. The man could be seen tossing aside a water bottle in another one of the videos. Meanwhile, staff at the Red Apple Food Store reported that on the day following the fire at that business, they found that a note in a Ziploc bag had been pushed under the door. The note accused a
certain person of having started the fire. Video pulled from that site showed a man in a grey track suit pushing the note under the door. After Jandrew was arrested for the breakin, jail security video captured him wearing a grey track suit with striped pants underneath. A police search of his home found water bot-

tles of the same brand that had been found at the one arson scene and a piece of torn cardboard that aligned perfectly with the note found at the Red Apple. Forensic analysis of the items found at the arsons matched Jandrew’s DNA. Jandrew was just leaving prison in midMay after serving his sentence for the breakin when police were able to arrest him for the arsons. At the time, Abbotsford Police spokesman Const. Ian MacDonald said police were relieved to be able to keep Jandrew in custody. “Theses fire created a great deal of concern for the community, especially in the affected areas and neighbourhoods,” he said at the time.

Mike Mason of Abbotsford’s Valley Royals track and field club leaped to a bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland on Wednesday. The 27-year-old Nanoose Bay native cleared 2.25 metres in the high jump, good for third place behind fellow Canadian Derek Drouin (2.31m) and Kyriakos Ioannou of Cyprus (2.28m). Mason is a two-time Olympian who represented Canada at the Summer Games in Beijing (2008) and London (2012). He was the eighth-place finisher in the high jump at the London Games.

‘Competitive warrior’ Buttar beats the odds Centre back earns spot on national U15 soccer team
Dan KINVIG Abbotsford News
Opposing players at the CONCACAF under-15 girls soccer championship would be well-advised to keep their head on a swivel when Team Canada’s Bryana Buttar is on the pitch. That helpful hint is courtesy of Rob Giesbrecht, the University of the Fraser Valley women’s coach who works with Buttar in the Abbotsford Middle School soccer academy. “In our academy, we have
Indeed, Buttar’s game isn’t as smooth as her surname would suggest, and that’s a good thing. The 13-year-old centre back’s signature is her passion for physical play, and it was a big factor in her selection for the U15 CONCACAF tourney – which opens next week in the Cayman Islands – despite the fact she’s two years younger than the age maximum. “I play really aggressive,� she acknowledged with a chuckle. “I’m one of those girls that
about half boys and half girls,� he explained. “We separate them into tiers . . . and she’s in the top group. So she’s playing against boys who play in the BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL) who are her age or older. “And she’s just rocking them. These guys are getting tackled by this younger girl, harder than any guy they play against. You’ve got to see the look on some of these guys’ faces when Bry runs them over. And it’s always clean, it’s always ball-first. “She’s a competitive warrior.�

Rapid rise through the ranks for Buttar From A19
doesn’t really say sorry. I just kind of hit them and keep going.” Buttar’s rise to the national U15 team has been been downright dizzying. Last year, she wasn’t even sure she had what it took to make Fraser Valley FC’s U13 team for the BCSPL. She not only cracked that roster, but also made the provincial squad and ended up being invited to the ID camp for the Canadian U15 team in early June in Toronto.
“I didn’t think I was going to make it, because I was one of the youngest players, and some of them had been to the U17 World Cup already,” noted Buttar, who was 12 years old at the time of the tryout and didn’t turn 13 until June 20. “The first practice, I was kind of nervous – all the players were so much bigger than me and so much better, and I didn’t really do that well. But I talked to my (club) coach, and he told me to hold my head up high and be proud
of what I can do. The next days, I did way better. I just thought positive.” Buttar got the news that she’d been picked for Team Canada during a drive back home from a provincial team practice, and was “so surprised.” “I just jumped up and down and screamed and almost caused my dad to have an accident,” she related with a chuckle. The precocious Buttar is arguably the most promising young female soccer player from
Abbotsford since Sophie Schmidt, the 2012 Olympic bronze medalist who made her senior national team debut in 2005 at the age of 16. Giesbrecht cautioned that saddling a youngster with such lofty expectations is premature at this point, but noted that Buttar is “on that path.” “She’s like Sophie, where she’s an outstanding player and also a great competitor,” he said. “I think the fact that Bry is so grounded and such a humble
girl bodes well for her. She’s not going to get too far ahead of herself. She’s got a great family, her club coach is a great guy, she’s in the provincial program – people are looking out for her. “It’s going to be exciting to see what the future is like for her.” The CONCACAF soccer region encompasses North America, Central America and the Caribbean, and at the 16-team Cayman Islands tourney, Canada is in Group D alongside Haiti, Cuba, and Puerto Rico.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Visit the 2015 Challenger gallery at DrivewayBC.ca
Challenged by one Hellcat of a muscle car Portland, Oregon – Do I take the red key or the black key? The black key limits horsepower to 500. Jaws drop. If you put it in valet mode, rpms are limited to 4,000. Gosh, I really hope I can take the red key… This Matrix-like conundrum is a good one to have. Take the safer route (black key) if you’d rather ease off on harnessing the gargantuan horsepower of the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s the most powerful production Chrysler V8, as well as the most powerful production muscle car to date, so it needs to be treated with respect. But then again, the red key will allow me to tame this muscled feline one shift at a time, whether through the 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic. Looks like the decision has been made for me. Red key is sitting pretty in the centre console. And it’s in track mode. Electronic intervention is minimal. I

With a new look on the inside and outside, the 2015 Dodge Challenger is ready to take on its Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro competition head-on. According to market research, two thirds of Challenger buyers say they don’t cross-shop anything else. That said, those who did cross-shop, and decided to go in another direction, attributed it to its archaic interior. That problem is no more. Now Challengers come with a driver-centric and cool-looking interior setup. Whether you have the standard 5-inch touchscreen or the optional 8.4-inch (the biggest touchscreen in its segment), you can’t lose. Then there’s a new 7-inch multi-view driver information display instrument cluster that adds to the chic execution; standard

on all models. Not to mention, it displays all the vital stats that you’ll need when driving. Combined with physical buttons – for those who don’t like to control everything by a screen – its evolutionary changes certainly help its cause. A lot. But the heart of the Challenger lies underneath its sheet metal – the curves and edges that were inspired by the ’71 Challenger. When it comes to engine choices, you’re not without options.

Read this now before it’s too late by Zack Spencer
This story could be obsolete in a month as automakers add electrification to existing models and introduce all new models, at an incredible rate.
The market for electric cars or plug-in hybrids is very small but it is growing. The success of Tesla’s Model S has shot its stock price into the stratosphere, as investors bet on that company’s emergence as the electric car and technology leader. The stock price should really reflect the cars sold, as Tesla can only make about 2025,000 cars annually for a worldwide market. The Market
Green Car Report recently published a sales report on all electrics sold in Canada for the first six months of the year. The list of vehicles sold is compiled from companies’ self-reporting but Ford’s data is missing. This Green Car Report estimates that Ford’s numbers will push overall electric sales to 2,200 for the first half of the year, a 50 percent improvement over a year ago. What we do get is a good
snapshot of the market. With only 1,941 electrics officially counted, this amounts to only 0.21 per cent of the overall Canadian marketplace. (Canadians are on track to buy almost 1.7 million vehicles this year). So these are tiny but important numbers and the trend is higher. The clear winner isn’t the Tesla at all; in fact it is in third place behind the Chevy Volt and Nissan LEAF. Chevy sold 831
Volts up to July, with Nissan selling 462 LEAFs and Tesla moving 290 Model S cars. The Smart Full Electric Drive comes in fourth with 163 cars sold and in its first month of sales (June) the BMW i3 looks good with 50 units sold. Not all electric cars are the same What many people don’t realize is the complexity of the electric car market. I look at it this way, if the car can be plugged into an outlet, it is at least partially electrified. There are pure electric cars like the Nissan LEAF, Tesla Model S, Smart Electric, Mitsubishi i-MiEV and BMW’s new i3 – all of
these use just electricity to propel the car. Then there are electric cars that have an onboard generator, should the range of the electric pack limit driver’s intentions. The Chevy Volt, Cadillac ELR, the Toyota Prius Plug-In and the BMW i3 are, or can be equipped, with a gasoline engine to either drive the wheels or charge the battery. This is one area where the Chevy Volt wins. With roughly a 65 km range on pure electricity and a small generator on board to extend the range indefinitely, this car makes a lot of sense. This is why the BMW i3 has an optional generator for
$3,000 to extend the range of that model. But if the buyer chooses this option, the range of pure electric drive is limited because of the added weight of the car. Electric car buyers need to know if they can live with the limits of the electric car’s range or want the flexibility to extend the range with an on-board generator. What is still to come? We are living in interesting times. More and more electric cars are being added, not to meet the demand but to meet regulatory requirements. For the model year 2016, the United States has

Electrifying existing models Continued from page 22
a new corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standard that has each manufacturer trying to hit 35.5 mpg average across their fleet, including small trucks. This isn’t doable with the current internal combustion engine technology, so these manufacturers are looking to electrification as the answer. Even though more and more electric versions will arrive, don’t expect them to sell. In fact, most car companies don’t expect them to sell at all; they just want the mpg credit towards the new regulations. This might sound cynical but watch how many electric cars will arrive, especially for the 2016 model year, and how many you will actually see on the road. Verdict Even though electric car sales are very small and many new models will go unnoticed, the trend to electrification is here. With markets like China mandating a percentage of electric cars to offset its horrific pol-
lution, it will help move the numbers of electric vehicles worldwide. This, along with steady adoption rates here in North America will help promote better charging infrastructure. Another factor is the price to own an electric car. The Smart Electric is priced at $27,000 making it the least expensive full electric car. With Nissan hacking its price on the LEAF to just over $31,000 and the Volt starting at roughly $35,000, these cars are more affordable than ever. I think the BMW i3 is very attractive for $45,000 because it is a luxury brand at an attainable price. The real show-stopper will be the Tesla Model III that they hope to sell for US$35,000 with more than 400km of electric range when it is introduced in 2017. Even though Tesla has the sex appeal going right now, don’t count out the other mainstream manufacturers with decades, if not centuries, of auto making know-how, to take on the challenge. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Some of the most skilled pilots and exceptional aircraft will be in town next week for the 2014 Abbotsford International Airshow.
JOHN MORROW PHOTO
Dynamic aircrafts on display at show As I sit here writing this, the weather is absolutely perfect for an airshow – blue skies, light breezes and, of course, the beautiful airshow backdrop of Mt. Baker shimmering in the distance. The reason we have traditionally chosen the second weekend in August as our airshow date is its reliability weather-wise. This year our big change is our Friday Twilight Show. We will take advantage of that backdrop in the soft light of the setting sun to put on an unforgettable display featuring some of the world’s best twilight aerial performances. From Dan Buchanan, who will load up his ultralight with pyrotechnics to trace graceful arcs across the sky, the Indy Boys' jet-powered schoolbus racing down the runway with a tongue of flame to light its path, to Matt Younkin who has cleverly fitted a huge number of strobes and spotlights to illuminate an aerobatic spectacular in the dark titled, “Magic by Moonlight." The CF-18 Hornet will perform just as the light is dying and the afterburner
plumes will be visible in the darkening sky. "Manik" will conclude his demo by exploding a huge wall of fire. Our finale will showcase the wizardry of Team Rocket in a two-ship aerobatic dance with pyrotechnics streaming from their wings. Finally, you will be able to relax and watch a fireworks performance to conclude your memorable night.
all around North America and they are led this year by Major “Paco” Gobeil who was most recently here as the CF-18 Hornet demonstration pilot in 2012. This year’s Hornet demo will be performed by Capt. “Manik” Runge of 409 Squadron in a display highlighted by pyrotechnics operated by April Zalesky and her AV8FX explosions.

This is the team’s 43rd the world, Steve Hinton, Ed Shipley and year of performing for millions of fans Dan Friedkin, will demonstrate precision
aerobatics in their P-51 Mustangs, the Bremont Horsemen. The coup for Abbotsford though, is the first appearance of a restored de Havilland Mosquito, a twin-engined “wooden wonder” and one of only two flight-worthy examples in the world. One of the most versatile fighters of the Second World War, the Mossie was adept at low-level and high-attack bombing and strafing raids, long-range photo reconnaissance, and as a pathfinder and night fighter. Steve Hinton will pilot the airplane, making a number of passes on both Saturday and Sunday, and she will be on static display as well. Don’t miss this rare piece of aviation history. All in all, it will make for an incredibly entertaining and exciting airshow and I hope you will come out once again to be thrilled by the magic of flight and the daring of the young men in their flying machines.

been involved in airshows for 15 years and was a pilot in the late 1980s and early ‘90s. But he still gets excited to see the public descend on AIA for one of the biggest events of the year. “For me, it’s a labour of love,” he said. “As an air force pilot I was actively involved here. I flew here with the snowbirds in ‘79 and before that I flew here with the Voodoos in ‘77, so it’s cool to come back on the organizational
side, set it up and be involved in recruiting the different performers. “It’s very gratifying.” Part of that gratification comes from seeing months of planning pay off. Organizing the airshow is a huge task, one that involves upwards of 1,000 volunteers, several committees and, of course, thousands of audience members. The
moving parts aren’t just on the jets roaring over head. “It’s like any kind of show, whether it’s a Broadway musical or an airshow,” he said. “You’re bringing all the elements together and all the people together and then it’s great when you see the crowd walk away with a smile on their faces having just witnessed something that was really special.”

Twilight event gives airshow a different look Organizers selling weekend passes for the first time
The debut of a twilight show at the 52nd Abbotsford International Airshow (AIA) should give audience members a whole new way to watch the much-awaited event. In the past, the airshow has offered the same programs Friday through Sunday. That will change this year, though, as a twilight show replaces the Friday program and will dazzle spectators as the sun begins to dip toward the western horizon.
The changes will showcase the pyrotechnical acrobatics of Team Rocket, Dan Buchanan, while others – like the Jet Schoolbus and the CF-18 Hornet will put on shows designed for the evening. The night’s aerobatic display of Matt Younkin’s Twin Beech will be illuminated by dozens of external lights. The twilight show will open to the public at 4:30 p.m. and will feature most of the acts of the day
show, including the Snowbirds. The show will conclude with fireworks at 9:45 p.m. The addition of the evening show has AIA president Jim Reith excited. “It’s two different products and a whole different look and feel,” he said. “We expect there will be people who want to see the night performances and the day performances.”
To provide the public the opportunity to see both, the airshow will also be selling weekend passes for the first time. “It just seemed like it was an idea whose time has come,” Reith said. Team Rocket, which consists of pilots Ken Fowler and Eric Hansen flying planes spouting pyrotechnics into the dark night sky, attracted plenty of attention earlier
this summer when they gave Vancouver residents a preview of their acrobatic show. Buchanan’s night show also leans heavily on pyrotechnics and fireworks as he pilots his motorized hang glider into the night sky. Also that night, the CF-18 Hornet will team with AV8FX for a demonstration and simulated bombing run over the airport.

2014 AMATEUR PHOTOGAPHER OF THE YEAR
Rod Jones of Abbotsford stands proudly as last years winner of the Black Press / London Drugs contest “The Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year”.
Vincent Montefrio of Surrey won with the above entry in the category “Best Crowd Photo” in 2013.
Rod Jones of Abbotsford was named the Next Generation Amateur Photographer of the Year in 2013 He won the prestigious title as part of the Your Best Shot contest, presented by Black Press, London Drugs and the Abbotsford International Airshow. The contest generated just under 2,000 entries, from which 60 finalists were selected, representing 35 B.C. communities, from North Vancouver to Vernon. The finalists were provided VIP tickets to the annual airshow and asked to submit photos in three categories, best air photo, best static photo and best crowd shot. In addition, the public had the opportunity to vote for their favourite for the people’s choice award.
Jones said he was shocked when he found out he had won. “It absolutely just blew me away it was like wow,” he said. He knew there was some stiff competition for the title. “I looked at everything and thought wow, I can’t imagine how hard it would be to judge all that stuff because there was so much good stuff,” he said. Jones first started dabbling in photography in 2005. His wife was a volunteer at the radical raptors show at the Greater Vancouver Zoo. He

to support major ground offensives. After the Dieppe Raid, Canadian airmen continued to serve in North Africa, Italy, the Battle of Britain, and the Normandy invasion. On Jan. 1, 1944, the RCAF reached its peak strength of the Second World War, being equipped with 215,200 members, 15,153 of which were women. By the end of the war there were 78 squadrons in service, 35 of which had served overseas.

Canada was still a young country when the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) was created 90 years ago after a reorganization of the nation’s military. While the prefix “Royal” was adopted, the air force didn’t become a purely military organization until 1936. Prior to then, it had been responsible for a variety of civil duties in the air, from patrolling the border to helping with law enforcement.

RCAF celebrates 90 years
LIFE
On Aug. 19, 1942, the RCAF found themselves committed to the Dieppe Raid. On that day, 60 RCAF fighter aircraft could be spotted above the shore of Dieppe, supporting Operation Jubilee. The RCAF suffered five casualties as a result of the Dieppe Raid. This operation showed major deficiencies in RCAF ground support techniques, which led to the creation of a fully integrated air force
The RCAF also took part in transportation duties in the Korean War. The unification of Canada’s naval, ground and air forces saw the RCAF integrated into the Canadian Forces, with air force segment known as Air Command. In 2011, Air Command was renamed the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Rare “Wooden Wonder” to make public debut Aircraft is one of only two flyable de Havilland Mosquitoes One of the most buzzed-about performers at this year’s Abbotsford International Airshow will be the public debut of one of only two flyable de Havilland DH.98 Mosquitoes in the world.
The Mosquito has been modelled after, and painted to resemble, the F For Freddy, a legendary plane that survived a record 213 operations over Europe during the war. It crashed just days after war ended in Europe while its two-person crew was performing low-altitude flybys in Calgary to celebrate the end of hostilities.

Known as the “Wooden Wonder” – crews also called it “Mossie” – the Mosquito was built for the Second World War and constructed almost entirely out of wood.
The rebuilt plane will make its first public appearance in Abbotsford and will be piloted by renowned test pilot Steve Hinton, who is also president of Planes of Fame Air Museum in California.
“When strategic materials like metal were running short at the end of the war, they started constructing these aircraft out of plywood,” said airshow president Jim Reith. “It turned out to be a phenomenal airplane, performance-wise, because it was light and very versatile.”
“In the aviation world, especially in the warbird community, Steve Hinton is about a big as name as it gets,” said the airshow’s Mike Luedey.
The plane could fly exceptionally high and was used in a range of roles – as a fighter, a pathfinder, and a bomber.
“Because they were made of wood, almost none of them survived,” Reith said.

SNOWBIRDS PERFORMANCE
FRIDAY @ 6:00PM SAT/SUN @ 3:30PM
The Canadian Forces Snowbirds are a perennial favourite at the Abbotsford International Airshow and will be flying all three days.
Today’s Snowbirds are carrying on the tradition of excellence established by the aerobatic teams of the RCAF’s earliest days. Teams such as the Siskins, flying Siskin IIA biplanes as a three-ship formation between 1929 and 1932, the Golden Hawks, flying their seven gold-painted F-86 Sabre jets from 1959 until 1963, and The Golden Centennaires, flying their nine Canadian-built CT-114 Tutor aircraft.
fourth-largest air force in the world, the RCAF has proved to be a leader in aviation as a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and as an active partner of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) for the continental air defence of North America. The Snowbirds – from the pilots to the technicians and support staff – are from all types of squadrons across Canada and represent a diverse range of the RCAF’s aviation capabilities.
The Snowbirds aerobatic team was formed in 1971 and received squadron status as 431
(Air Demonstration) Squadron in 1978. The team pilots, also flying the Tutors that are now painted in the iconic red and white colour scheme, carry on the tradition of these great aviators. The Snowbirds (431 Air Demonstration Squadron) consist of approximately 80 Canadian Forces personnel, 24 of whom comprise the show team that travels during the show season. On average they will fly approximately 70 air shows at 50 different locations across North America each year.
