Province to urge ‘Yes’ in transit tax referendum By JEFF NAGEL Aldergrove Star
After sending a series of mixed messages, the provincial government now says it will back the Yes side in the upcoming transit tax referendum. “We support a ‘yes’ vote in the spring 2015 plebiscite but the voters of Metro Vancouver will have the final say – this is the commitment we made to them in the last provincial election campaign,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said in a statement. He reiterated that transit expansion is “vital to economic development in Metro Vancouver and will be a critical component of ensuring that the region is able to accommodate the million additional people expected over the next 30 years.”
The proposed 0.5 per cent Metroonly sales tax – dubbed the Congestion Improvement Tax – would raise $250 million a year for transit and transportation projects if a majority of regional voters approve it in a mail-in vote slated to run from March 16 to May 29. Stone said the province believes the Metro mayors’ vision for expanded transportation is one people can get behind. “We agree that a sales-based tax, dedicated to vital congestion improvement projects, is the most equitable funding option available.” Provincial funding will only go to running the plebiscite, he added, while mayors and other organizations will be responsible for funding their campaigns.
It’s still unclear exactly how active Stone or other government members will be in encouraging a Yes vote. Some observers had concluded the province was abandoning the mayors to fight alone after the transportation ministry on Dec. 29 told a Vancouver newspaper “the government will not be supporting either side – Yes or No.” That appeared to contradict Stone’s earlier comments to reporters in midDecember that he was “committed to success” and the province would speak out strongly during the campaign on the need to fight congestion and make more transportation investments. A subsequent Black Press request for clarification yielded a Dec. 30 ministry statement said “government is only funding the referendum and will
not be financially supporting either the yes or the no side.” There had been doubts about the province’s support since Premier Christy Clark in 2013 suggested government would remain officially neutral. Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore said he’s confident the province will actively support the Yes campaign. “They understand the importance of transportation in the region, how good our plan is and that they need to get behind it,” he said. New Democrats – with the exception of Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan – have vowed to campaign for Yes and had accused the premier of trying to duck responsibility after forcing the referendum on the region.
Alcohol is believed to be a factor in a three-car collision at 264 Street that saw one driver airlifted to hospital on Saturday, Jan. 3. Shortly after 1 p.m., police were called to the intersection of 264 Street and 24 Avenue to investigate a collision involving a Honda, an Acura and a Volkswagen. Witnesses said the Volkswagen was making a left hand turn onto 264 from 24 Ave. when it was hit from behind by the Honda. The Honda then spun and collided with the Acura. All three vehicles had the driver as the sole occupant. The driver of the Honda, a 27-year-old Abbotsford resident, was unconscious at the scene and was airlifted to hospital. The driver of the Volkswagen (a 33-year-old man from Pitt Meadows) was looked over at scene by BC Ambulance while the driver of the Acura, a 26-year-old Langley man, was taken to hospital for treatment only as a precaution. Police believe the Honda driver may have been impaired by alcohol and will follow up with a warrant for blood samples to further the investigation. If anyone witnessed the collision and has not spoken to police, they are asked to call Langley RCMP at 604-5323200.

Flu bug hits Fraser region hard 10 care homes dealing with outbreaks By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
Fraser Health has lab-confirmed flu outbreaks in progress at 10 different long-term care facilities following a spike in influenza activity over the holiday season. Medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti said it’s remarkable to have 10 care home outbreaks active simultaneously as that’s as many as Fraser recorded in the entire flu season last year. “It’s quite a heavy year,” she said Monday, noting there have also been eight earlier facility outbreaks that have since cleared up. Flu season started early with residential outbreaks beginning in late September and early October. The bugs circulating had plenty of opportunity to find new victims as families and friends gathered over the holidays. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control on Jan. 2 reported a “sharp increase” in influenza-like illness reports in the final two weeks of December.

Hail the ‘Boss’: First baby of 2015 arrives in Langley By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
When his hungry son started fussing, new dad Guriqbal Khehra smiled and said “okay, boss” and handed him to mom Mandeep Sekhon. “He is a precious gift from God,” she said, as her child snuggled close on the hospital bed. The seven pound, 13-ounce boy was born at Langley Memorial Hospital on Jan. 2. By arriving before his scheduled Jan. 7 due date, he became the first child of
the New Year born in Langley. He is also the first child for the young couple, Cloverdale residents who both work as professional drivers, and the first grandchild on the father’s side of the family. His father and mother planned to select a name for their first child on Monday, but he already had a couple of nicknames as of Sunday. “Boss” is one, a name his father stressed was “only for one day” and the other, that will probably stick, is “lucky.” “This is lucky for us,” his dad said.

Green cans help with food waste ban Aldergrove Star
The New Year is a time for fresh starts, new routines, and establishing healthy habits. And beginning this January 1, Township of Langley residents and businesses need to take action to keep their food waste separate from garbage. New rules are being enforced by the Metro Vancouver Regional District in 2015 to help keep food scraps out of the landfill. Banned items include raw food, plate scrapings, leftover food, and meats. Wasted food is one of the region’s largest sources of methane, a strong greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. Methane is created as food slowly decomposes in landfills, because there is not enough oxygen to help the scraps properly decay as they rot. “If you haven’t been using your Green Can, now is the time to start,” said Township of Langley Solid Waste Coordinator Debbie Fleming. She encourages those who receive Green Can collection
service to take advantage of the organics collection service. “There are many people who are using the Green Can program and their efforts are making a great difference,” she noted. “It isn’t hard to do and it is one of those habits that can have a huge impact on our environment.” “By participating in the Green Can program, residents can rest assured they are fully complying with the ban,” said Ryan Schmidt, the Township’s Manager of Energy and Solid Waste. Residents who live in multifamily complexes like townhomes and row homes may receive food waste collection services from the Township if they fall within the municipality’s collection zones. Stratas should contact the Township’s Solid Waste Department at 604.532.7300 to determine if they are eligible for this service. Multi-family residential complexes, rural properties, and industrial, commercial, and institutional operations that are not part of the service area are still
required to separate their food waste from their garbage and have it collected by an organics collection contractor. A list of potential collection contractors can be found on the Township’s website at tol.ca/ Services-Contact/Garbage-andRec ycling/Garbage/PrivateCollection-Services. Residents are also encouraged to use a backyard composter for raw fruit and vegetable scraps, although meat and dairy cannot go into backyard composters. Initially, Metro Vancouver will focus its enforcement on super markets, major restaurants, hotels, and other businesses that generate a lot of food waste. During this education period, no penalties will be charged. However, starting in July, waste haulers that generate loads of garbage that exceed the amount of food scraps allowed can be charged 50% of the load’s total tipping fee. The new rules will be enforced as waste haulers deliver garbage to regional landfills and transfer stations for inspection.

WHO’S WHO
A L D E R G R O V E
Shea Theodore Playing for Canada at World Juniors Championship Shea Theodore of Aldergrove earned two points for a goal and an assist in the seven games series he played for Team Canada sweep of the World Junior Ice Hockey Tournament. Canada took the gold medal in the final versus Russia, Jan. 5. It is a tournament that hundreds of thousands of Canadians tune in to watch every holiday season. And this year, it featured a local connection as Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore made the final roster for Canada’s entry to the 2015 world junior hockey championship. The tournament began Dec. 26 and ran until Jan. 5 in Toronto and Montreal. Theodore was one of seven defencemen named to the final roster. Ten had been invited to the team’s training camp. This is his first time playing for Canada’s world junior team, but he has represented his country before at the world U18 championships. Theodore, who played his minor hockey with the Aldergrove Minor Hockey Association, was a first round
draft pick (26th overall) of the Anaheim Ducks in the 2013 NHL Draft. The 19-year-old plays in the Western Hockey League with the Seattle Thunderbirds. In 10 games with Seattle this season, he has two goals and six assists. Theodore had hurt his elbow in training camp with the Ducks and he played five games with Anah e i m’s AHL affiliate, the Nor fol k Admirals, registering three goals and two assists before joining Seattle. Last season, he was the Thunderbirds’ top scorer with 22 goals and 79 points in 70 games. In the first two games, Dec. 26 and 27, Canada blanked both Slovakia and Germany, 8-0 and 4-0, respectively. In the game against Finland, Dec. 29, the result was 4-1 for Canada, as Sam Reinhardt scored the first two goals. Canada got the opening goal 5:32 into the game when Reinhart was fed by Theodore at the point and then tapped his rebound past Juuse Saros. Theodore also scored in the semifinal 5-1 win over Slovakia on Jan. 4.
Isbister sentenced to four years in jail for molesting teen boys Aldergrove Star
A Provincial Court judge called Kelly Isbister’s acts of child molestation “predatory and relentless,” and sentenced him to four years in jail. Isbister will serve three years, as he has already spent one year in jail. In his sentencing hearing on Dec. 18 in Surrey Provincial Court, Isbister appeared unhappy with the decision. In October, the 42-year-old lifelong Langley resident pleaded guilty to three counts of sexual interference of a person under 16. All three of Isbister’s victims were 14 at the time of the crimes, which took place between 2010 to 2013. “These 14-year-old boys were befriended by Mr. Isbister, and all these events took place at his house. He provided them with drugs and alcohol and drew them in for his own sexual gratification,” said Judge Michael Hicks in his sentencing. He victimized one boy for one year and another for three months. Court heard that Isbister has never had meaningful employment in his life, but did manage to obtain a license to grow medicinal marijuana at the time of the crimes against the teens. At the time, he was giving the victims pot and alcohol along with cash.

Canada’s gold a ‘surreal’ experience for Theodore By GARY AHUJA Aldergrove Star
Shea Theodore has grown up watching Canada play on TV at the IIHF world junior hockey championships. But this year was something completely different as the Aldergrove defenceman played a key role in helping his country win gold at the event for the first time since 2009. Canada defeated Russia 5-4 in the gold-medal game on Monday night at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre. Winning the gold medal was mission accomplished as the 19-year-old said that was the team’s only goal heading into the championships. “When you are here for a month to do one thing, and to be able to do it, that is pretty cool and pretty special,” he said. Theodore was at the Toronto airport on Tuesday morning waiting for his flight to Seattle, where he will rejoin his Western Hockey League team, the Seattle Thunderbirds. An Anaheim Ducks first round draft pick from 2013, Theodore said this experience is something he won’t be forgetting anytime soon.

Virtanen claims gold with Canada By JUSTIN BEDDALL Aldergrove Star
Abbotsford’s Jake Virtanen found gold with Canada’s world junior hockey team Monday night in a dramatic 5-4 victory over Russia before 18,000 screaming fans at a packed Air Canada Centre in Toronto. After leaping out to a 5-1 advantage in the second period, Russia narrowed the Canadian’s lead to just one heading into the final 20 minutes. But with the nation’s eyes on them, the Canadians held on for Canada’s first world junior gold since 2009. The team also included Aldergrove’s Shea Theodore, who, like Virtanen, spent several years at
Yale secondary’s hockey academy. While he didn’t figure on the Virtanen – a first-round draft scoresheet, Virtanen made the pick of the Vancouver Canucks highlights with a spectacular check – said many of the players – of a Russian player in the first perilike hockey fans in od.

‘Buy Local’ keeps B.C. foods on grocery lists Aldergrove Star
The B.C. government is expanding the Buy Local program with an additional $2 million to help B.C. farmers and food processors promote their products, and support food security in B.C., Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick announced. With the additional $2 million investment, the program aims to increase consumer demand and sales of B.C. agrifoods. Businesses and organizations can apply for matching funding from the B.C. government for projects that
promote local foods. Projects can include in-store promotions, social media or web campaigns, traditional advertising, or other ideas. The Buy Local program has supported about 40 campaigns to support B.C. food, seafood, and floral products in communities around the province so far, with companies and organizations, large and small reporting increased sales, including: * B.C. Food Processors Association reporting sales of B.C. products increased by $5 million during the first four months of their project.
* 17,000 additional cartons of cherries were sold over three weeks in 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 despite a smaller crop. * The entire crop of the new Salish(TM) and Aurora Golden Gala(TM) apples sold, with successful introduction in four of B.C.’s largest food retail chains. * Coastal Black Estate Winery reported sales increased 12%, and expanded sales in liquor stores and restaurants. Applications and more information about the program are available at www.iafbc.ca/buylocal.htm

Plenty of issues loom for Langley Township
VICTORIA – The U.S. has Canada over a barrel on water as well as oil these days, but the tide is turning. Last week I mentioned a new book called The Columbia River Treaty – A Primer by members of Simon Fraser University’s climate adaptation team. This slim volume makes the case that B.C. has ended up with a shockingly bad deal from this 1964 treaty, which concerned itself entirely with flood control and hydroelectric power. In those days there was little or no environmental assessment. Agriculture, fish habitat and aboriginal impacts were ignored. More than a decade after the disastrous flood year of 1948, once Ottawa stopped its bureaucratic delays, U.S. public and private power utilities paid B.C. $254 million to build three dams on the Columbia system. Those dams (and one at Libby, Montana that mostly floods B.C. land) hold back the huge spring runoff from the Rockies and then dole out water for power production in B.C. and for the 15 hydro dams previously built downstream in the U.S. The U.S. payment was for half the power over 30 years, which B.C. didn’t need at the time. Then our American cousins cut us another cheque for $64 million, an estimate of the value of flood protection
U.S. ripping us off on water
from 1968 all the way to 2024. Boy, did we get taken. The SFU team calculates the value of that flood control to the U.S. at more like $32 billion. That’s not even the worst of it. The Kootenays were once the leading fruit and vegetable growing area in B.C., bigger than the Okanagan. Now in the Arrow Lakes and other reservoirs, levels rise and fall dramatically to steady the flow south. In addition to the large areas permanently flooded by the Mica, Duncan and Hugh Keenleyside dams, this renders more of B.C.’s prime bottom land impassable. B.C. is paid precisely zero for this sacrifice, while Washington state has developed a $5 billion-a-year farm economy using our stable irrigation source. That has helped their tree fruit growers push some Okanagan orchardists out of business. As U.S. billionaires continue to bankroll environmental attacks on B.C. and Alberta energy projects, it’s worth noting that long before the treaty, the U.S. militaryindustrial complex had wiped out the Columbia River salmon runs. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and its private power partners dammed everything they could find, exterminating a fishery bigger than the Fraser that had sustained aboriginal people on both sides of today’s border
for thousands of years. B.C. Energy Minister Bill Bennett and SFU’s Jon O’Riordan both described to me their experience at the Columbia River Basin conference, held last October in Spokane. Their main impression was that Americans, including traditional tribes, want those salmon runs restored. Vast amounts have been spent on hatcheries and habitat to speed recovery below the Grand Coulee dam, which stands like a giant tombstone for migratory fisheries above it. Should the Americans ever manage to get salmon above their biggest dam, it will largely be up to B.C. to provide sufficient cool water to keep them alive. That service has an increasing value to the U.S. as well as an ongoing cost to B.C. Bennett surprised some in Spokane when he said the U.S. needs to pay more for the benefits from the Columbia River Treaty. The flood control agreement expires in 2024. The treaty requires 10 years’ notice for either country to exit. Climate shifts are expected to make B.C. water more important than ever. Your move, Uncle Sam.

What’s ahead in 2015 in Langley? That’s a hard question to even begin to answer, but there were a number of hints in the final months of 2014 which allow one to make at least some educated guesses. The three local government bodies will have plenty of work ahead — not just in determining tax increases, but in satisfying a lot of demands from the community, some of which were issues in the recent municipal elections. The Langley Board of Education has to work hard to determine how it can obtain funding for a new Willoughby high school, and at the same time see if a tentative plan to close Langley Secondary will pass muster with the community. Part of this complex equation involves both schools, as the district needs to come up with some capital funding to build a new Willoughby school, and LSS needs major seismic renovations if it is to stay open. Langley Township council needs to get to work on better ways to consult the community about community plans, development and the myriad of issues that go with rapid urbanization. The uproar over the Brookswood community plan in the spring months was a key factor in the election results, and there is a need for a new community plan in Brookswood and Fernridge that current residents feel comfortable with. At the same time, rampant development in Willoughby is leading to school overcrowding, a lack of parking, the need for more transit services and other pressing urban needs. The Township seems to be playing catchup on far too many issues. Langley City is facing a set of very different issues. The City is not growing significantly, but crime and povertyrelated issues are requiring more and more attention. Langley RCMP have been kept very busy on a whole series of serious crimes, the bus exchange continues to be a problem, and the number of homeless and mentally ill people on the streets is increasing. These are not simple issues to address, and dealing with them effectively requires a great deal of co-operation with other agencies, notably Fraser Health Authority, TransLink and the provincial government. The TransLink spending referendum will be a dominant issue in the first few months of 2015, and plans for a .5 per cent sales tax increase will face stiff resistance in Langley, given its lack of transit and limited plans for improvements here. No matter how the campaign proceeds, I will be surprised if a majority of Langley residents vote in favour of higher taxes. There will be a federal election in October. For the first time in many years, there will be two separate races in Langley. Langley City and a small strip of the Township have been joined to Cloverdale and its environs in a new Cloverdale-Langley City riding. Both the governing Conservatives and Liberals have already selected their candidates for the riding. Both are longtime Langley residents. There will be a continued push for more services in the community, and one that will be talked about a great deal will be the proposal for an Aldergrove pool.

Transit tax hike will hurt ‘border towns’ like Aldergrove Editor: I would like to comment on the recent decision on a referendum for a tax increase of 0.5% to fund TransLink. This decision, in my opinion, if passed will potentially devastate retail merchants in Aldergrove. Our local gas merchants are faced with reduced profit margin because they have to compete with retailers outside of the GVRD (literally three blocks east). People will generally drive a few minutes east to save money; they will also drive south for the same purpose and while there, they will shop for other things that could and should be purchased right here in Aldergrove. This is true for all border towns. We also have to compete against the High Street Mall. Adding tax to the merchants of Aldergrove will make this even more difficult. One might say that it is “only 0.5%”, but any savings to shoppers is paramount. People get an idea in their heads, and this is exemplified by the media. Any perception, real or not, big or small, will be seen as huge by the consumer. After many hours of research by myself, I have ascertained that at least $15,000,000 is spent cross border shopping in each year in the Aldergrove area alone. This will only increase with a tax hike. For merchants in Vancouver, North Van, West Van, New West and most communities north of the Fraser River, and relatively west of the GVRD border will likely not have a negative impact on retail
sales, but for us border towns, it will have serious consequence. With lower retail sales for our merchants, community support will be reduced and this will in turn hurt all residents of our town. Companies like mine will have a reduced ability to support youth sports and donations to groups like Aldergrove Festival Days and Aldergrove Business Association. It will also impact the gas tax in that even loyal Aldergrove citizens will become less loyal if they can save even more money than now to leave our community. The gas tax revenue will erode even more. Honestly, either of the alternatives would be better for our town, but there is another solution and I have suggested it before: Why not create a graduated tax. Residents who live between the border and the river, pay at one rate (as it is now or lower), and north of the river, higher. This could also be applied to the existing gas tax. Border towns would have a reduced tax so that shoppers will stay in our country. Tax revenue would go up because south consumers would be more likely to stay home. Towns that are located further from the US border who have less issue with cross border shopping will not be negatively affected. There won’t be much for tax dollars coming out of Aldergrove if it becomes a ghost town. Bruce Heslop, Diamond Bar Equipment, Aldergrove
MSP premiums punish lower income earners Editor: A special Happy New Year to all who are personally subjected to the perpetual Medical Service Plan (MSP) premium increases. As the provincial Liberal government imposes another annual increase to MSP premiums, it is again time to remind British Columbia residents that this is probably the most regressive tax in Canada. A family of two with a “MSP adjusted net income” of $31,000 will pay $1,560 annually or about five per cent of their income for MSP premiums.
With a net income of $50,000 these premiums will be approximately three per cent and at $80,000 they will be around two per cent. This tax destined for general revenue belies the government’s statement, “British Columbia has the lowest provincial income tax rate.” The B.C. residents most affected by this regressive taxation, through provincial and other levels of taxation and fees, also contribute to the MSP premiums of approximately 400,000 public sector employees from all levels of government, in-
An unfair ‘label’ Editor: I find it disingenuous of the media to constantly refer to the occupation of someone involved in an accident, if that person happens to be a police officer. I refer, especially lately, to the sad case of the young fellow killed in a traffic accident in Abbotsford, having been hit by a car driven by “an off-duty police officer.” In just about every article about this case, this phrase is used. Is it somehow worse, if he/she is a police officer? Does it make for a greater level of drama? We never see, for example, “driven by an off-duty shoe salesman,” or any such thing. It is as if the police officer should never have been involved in the first place and I don’t think for a minute that they have any particular claim to driving perfection, nor should they be expected to do so. Yet, these statements prevail and they tend, I believe, to be inflammatory and judgmental. Wayne Boylan, Aldergrove
stitutions and agencies, including MLAs, Ministers and the Premier. MSP premiums are an unfair tax, inefficiently collected for general revenue by a managing bureaucracy. Considering all the public sector employees and union members who benefit from this process, don’t expect any change, as no politicians of any stripes will address the issue. The most one can hope for is the annual increases and rhetoric about the lowest income tax rate will cease. Bob Robinson, Langley
Morality questionable Editor: In view of the controversy in the media recently concerning the proposed faculty of Law at Trinity Western University, it appears, to the layman, that a number of members of the bar are angry and strongly opposed to the possibility that some future bar members will be morally responsible people. Which in turn leads one to speculate on the morality of those in opposition. The opinions of a bar member in opposition expressed on television
recently, indicates the prejudice this person stated would influence the interpretation of law by graduates of a faith-based university. It would be a delightful experience to be able to engage an attorney and be sure they were honest and incorruptible. I would add that I wish all people, regardless of faith, colour, politics, or sexual persuasion, could be defended in time of need by a learned, moral person of great faith, because their fate would be in caring hands.

NEWS SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS WORKING TOGETHER FOR STUDENT SUCCESS
604-534-7891 • www.sd35.bc.ca
Graduation Rates in Langley School District Highest Ever Contract has an ‘attainable goal’ of 93%, though obviously 100% graduation would be ideal.
Graduation rates for 2014 were the highest ever recorded in School District #35 and that’s “a good news story,” said Superintendent Suzanne Hoffman during the Superintendent’s Report on Achievement.
Of note is that the current rate indicates that fewer than 200 students in Langley did not complete requirements for graduation and, as Superintendent Hoffman said, “we can continue to focus our efforts on those at risk and make that number less every year.” Current provincial graduation rates are at 84%. The complete Report on Achievement is available online at www.d35.bc.ca/board.
The Report on Achievement is presented to the Board in December of each year before being forwarded to the Ministry of Education in January. Graduation rates have risen since 2008 when they were recorded at 78%. For 2014 that rate has now risen to its highest level of 87%. The District Achievement
Trustees Sworn in, Board Chair and Vice-chair Elected Trustee Rob McFarlane has been elected Chair of the School Board and Trustee Megan Dykeman will take on the role of Vice-chair. All trustees took their oath of office on December 8th to assume their duties on the Board. Pictured is Trustee Rosemary Wallace being sworn in.
Notice of Motion of Potential Closure of Langley Secondary School The potential closure of Langley Secondary School is included in a number of possible scenarios outlined in the District’s Long Term Facilities plan. With this notice, the Board will begin public consultation so that should a recommendation arise in which closure of LSS becomes part of the implementation of the Long Term Facilities plan, the District will have followed the procedures in Policy. The notice of motion does not mean the school will be closed, merely that the possible closure will be considered at a future open Regular Meeting of the Board of Education. Information on the Notice of Motion for Potential Closure of LSS and the Long Term Facilities Plan is available at www.sd35.bc.ca/ltfp.
A Notice of Motion on December 16, 2014 to consider the potential closure of Langley Secondary School (LSS) has been served by the Board of Education in order to initiate the closure consultation process as outlined in Policy No. 5029.

Langley’s road warrior By BRENDA ANDERSON Aldergrove Star
It’s the end of the road for Don McIntyre. At least, that’s the plan. The 82-year-old Langley man is preparing to head out on a northern adventure that will take him all the way to Tuktoyaktuk, NWT, where the highway gives way to the rocky shore of the Arctic Ocean. McIntyre plans to leave on Feb. 1 for the roughly 8,000-km round-trip journey through B.C., the Yukon and Northwest Territories — one that will take him across some of Canada’s most remote and challenging wilderness. He expects to encounter plenty of wildlife, as well as dangerous ice and blowing snow on the long — and, no doubt, lonely — stretch of the Dempster Highway. But it’s not just McIntyre’s sense of adventure that is prompting him to make the solo journey in the dead of winter. The reason he must go soon is that the town of fewer than 1,000 people at the tip of the continent is only accessible by an ice road for a few months each year. In between freeze-ups, the highway ends at Inuvik, and the only way to travel the final 194 kilometres to Tuktoyaktuk is by air. McIntyre is planning the trip as a fundraiser for the Canadian Cancer Society in memory of his wife, Dorothy, who passed away a year and a half ago. Appropriately, he’s calling his journey On the Road Again for Dorothy. During their more than 55 years of marriage, the Langley couple put thousands of miles on their vehicles, driving all over the continent when they weren’t flying to more exotic locales, from Panama to Argentina. The morning after they danced the night away at their 50th anniversary party in 2007, the couple hooked up their trailer and towed it across the country to St. John’s, Nfld., before turning and heading south to Atlantic City. They spent about 16 weeks on the road during that trip. Whenever they pulled out of a campsite, they’d play On the Road Again by Willie Nelson. “We’d roll down the windows so everyone knew we were leaving,” said McIntyre. “We did everything together,” he said, acknowledging that long-distance driving is a way to both feel closer to his late wife and to keep him from dwelling on her absence. After Dorothy passed away from cancer in July 2013, McIntyre took to the road by himself, following a winding route from Mesa, Ariz. to Key West, Fla. It was a somewhat lonely trip, he said, but one of the most difficult parts of the journey was navigating his way through large U.S. cities — Corpus Christi, Dallas, Miami, Fort Lauderdale — without Dorothy directing him from the passenger seat. His next trip will, of course, present a whole different set of challenges. The farther north he gets, McIntyre expects to encounter increasingly dangerous driving conditions along miles of wilderness offering nothing but trees, blowing snow and the occasional frozen waterway to break the monotony. And he expects sightings of other vehicles will be few and far between. “I’ll probably try to tailgate a semi,” he laughed. And, if he happens to meet any truck drivers at remote stops along the way, he
Don MacIntyre hits road for Tuktoyaktuk. plans to buy them a drink so that they’re more inclined to keep an eye out for him. He also has a son in Prince Rupert and a granddaughter in Whitehorse who will be kept apprised of his progress. McIntyre said his three children have had mixed reactions to his plans. His daughter is worried, he said. And while one son likes to brag to his friends about his adventurous dad, the “practical” one is doing whatever he can to make sure McIntyre is well prepared. “The only thing I’m really worried about is getting in trouble and having my children have to come and bail me out,” he said. When it comes to his own safety, McIntyre isn’t leaving anything to chance, outfitting his car — a Honda Crosstour — to ensure it can handle the snow and ice. It will have a block heater, battery blanket, antifreeze rated for exceptionally cold temperatures and good quality snow tires, he said. The vehicle is white, so he will put a black bra on the front to ensure that he’s visible to other traffic. Other safety measures he’s considering include bringing a cellphone amplifier and a satellite locator that will send a signal to his daughter’s computer or a panic button that will contact police. He’ll pack an extra rim, chains, blankets, water and “probably a big box of granola bars.” He also plans to mount a camera on his dashboard to record his adventure. “If a moose charges my car, I can send you a picture,” he chuckled. “I think it’s kind of a neat story,” McIntyre said. “I don’t know anyone my age who would do this. It will be a hard drive. “I’ve got Forrest Gump syndrome, except he ran for three years and I’m driving,” he quipped. The retired insurance adjuster expects the trip will cost him about $7,000 out of pocket. He plans to pay his own way, but is accepting donations on behalf of the Canadian Cancer Society. His goal is to reach $25,000 through per-kilometre pledges or lump sum donations. Although he’s happy to help raise money for a good cause, McIntyre has ulterior motives for making the journey. “I see these old men sitting around in the mall . . . and I can’t do that,” he said. “You can’t just sit there watching the world go by. People will probably get sick of hearing me talk about my trip, but at least I won’t be telling stories of ‘I remember when.’ “It should be kind of fun,” he said. “I’m 82. I hope it’s not the last hurrah, but it’s a hurrah near the end.” To contribute to McIntyre’s fundraising effort, google bcy convio list: http://convio.cancer.ca/site/ TR/IFE_BC/IFE_BC_?team_ id=322656&pg=team&fr_id=16335#.

Murder victim previously arrested for drive-by shooting Aldergrove Star
A man who was arrested in 2012 as a suspect in a drive-by shooting in West Abbotsford was himself the victim of such a crime last Friday in North Delta. Arundeep Cheema, 24, of Surrey was fatally shot while sitting in his vehicle in the driveway of the North Delta home he was visiting, according to the Delta Police Department. The shooting, which police say appears to be targeted, took place at about 8:20 p.m. in the 11800-block of 75A Ave. No arrests have been made, and police are continuing to investigate. Cheema was among four men arrested Sept. 4, 2012 after police received a report of shots having been fired in the 2500block of Bradner Road in Abbotsford. According to “information to obtain (ITO) a search warrant� documents obtained by the Abbotsford News in January 2013, among those arrested with Cheema was Jujhar Khun-Khun, now awaiting trial with two others for the murder Sts.

of Red Scorpion gangster Jonathan Bacon in August 2011. The ITO stated that police stopped the four men in a Dodge Charger that had been seen leaving the area after shots were heard. A man who had been in a second car at the scene was shot in the arm, but his three companions were not injured. The group had apparently returned from a trip to the PNE in Vancouver and had just pulled into the driveway of the Bradner Road home when shots were fired at them. Police followed the Charger and stopped the vehicle in Aldergrove. The car was seized, leading to the application (the ITO) to search it for
evidence. The four men arrested were released and none has ever been charged in relation to the shooting. The Bradner Road residence had been the scene of a prior drive-by shooting in January 2011. Nobody was injured, and police at the time said the home was occupied by two brothers known to police. According to the ITO documents, one of those brothers was in the vehicle shot at during the incident on Sept. 4, 2012. The other brother is known to have connections to the Bacon brothers, formerly of Abbotsford. Shortly after the shooting, Abbotsford Police installed video surveillance cameras in the
2500-block of Bradner Road. Khun-Khun himself was the victim of three targeted shootings – he was critically injured in two of them – before his arrest in February 2013 for Jonathan Bacon’s mur-
der in Kelowna. Khun-Khun and his co-accused Michael Kerry Hunter and Jason Thomas McBride are currently in prison awaiting their murder trial, which has been slated to start April 4, 2016 in Kelowna.

Be Prepared: Winter Safety Tips During snowstorms, municipal crews work diligently to deliver defined service levels. Sometimes our best efforts can be delayed due to challenges beyond our control. Here are some ways that you can help us get the job done: • Remove vehicles parked on the road in front of your property so that snowplows and sanders can complete work. * Avoid driving or delay driving whenever possible until snowfall stops. • Do not stop municipal vehicles that are sanding, salting, or plowing. For requests for service, call 604.532.7300. • Place garbage cans, recycling bins, and your Green Can on the sidewalk or boulevard. Remove them as soon as they have been emptied. • Place snow shoveled from your sidewalk and driveway onto your lawn to the right of the driveway, on the side the snow plow passes last, to avoid it being pushed back into the driveway. • Avoid pushing shoveled snow onto the road. • Clear snow from the sidewalk adjacent to your property as soon as possible – this is the responsibility of all property owners. • Clear any curbside catch basins in front of your property. • Walk on the left side of the road so that you can see, hear, and avoid oncoming traffic.
Men’s Hockey
• Advise children against building snow structures in roadside snowbanks.

• Advise children against playing sports on the road when they are being sanded and plowed.

Maintenance Prevents Flooding During peak storm periods, conditions can change fairly quickly. In the event of heavy rain or snow, blockages can lead to serious flooding problems on private and public property. To minimize potential problems, here are some things you can do: • Clear leaves and debris from nearby curbs, catch basins, and driveway culverts, especially during heavy rain and snow. • Avoid raking leaves onto the street or into open ditches. • Compost leaves or place them in your Green Can for pickup. • Clear snow and slush from nearby curbs and catch basins. To receive email notifications regarding flood prevention and emergency preparedness, sign up for eAlerts. Visit tol.ca/ealert to register.

17th ANNUAL
2014 2015
The Aldergrove Kodiaks took a 6-0 beating at the hands of the Grandview Steelers, Sunday at Burnaby Winter Club. The Kodiaks outshot the Steelers 39-24 but just couldn’t get the puck past keeper Cole McInnes that night, nor could they score on their three power plays. The Steelers opened scoring on a power play in the first period, notched two more in the second and finished off with three more in the third. The Kodiaks retain top spot in the Brittain conference with 37 points after 32 games (15-102-5), one point ahead of the Langley Knights, although the Kodiaks have a game in hand. The Abbotsford Pilots are close behind with 34 points after 31 games, while Mission Outlaws have 31 points after 32 games. Ridge Meadows Flames trail at 20 points after 32 games. The Kodiaks host the Shaw conference leading Richmond Sockeyes, Wednesday, Jan. 7, 7:15 p.m. at Aldergrove Arena. The Sockeyes and North Vancouver Wolf Pack are tied at 52 points apiece. Grandview and Delta Ice Hawks follow in that division with 33 and 31 points, respectively.

Craighead usually patrols the bench for the junior B Knights, but the former pro player traded his coat and tie for skates and a stick to suit up against his charges. Denis Pederson had a goal and three helpers for the alumni team while Jyrki Lumme contributed a goal and two assists. Also suiting up for the team was Langley country singer star Chad Brownlee, who was a sixth round draft pick of the Canucks in 2003. John Ashbridge, the Vancouver Canucks’ public address announcer, and anthem singer Mark Donnelly were also on hand, while singer Michelle Szulc sang the American anthem. For the Knights, Levi De Waal scored the team’s first goal. The game was stopped so De Waal could receive an NHL alumni association jersey, as well

New ‘Vero’ targets cancer Aldergrove Star
The BC Cancer Foundation has reached its $6.5-million fundraising target to purchase a state-of-theart “Vero” machine to benefit cancer patients across B.C. The technologically-advanced radiotherapy system will be the first machine of its kind in Canada, as renovations get underway to accommodate the new treatment delivery system at the BC Cancer Agency Vancouver Centre. “We are pleased to announce that the Vero has been ordered entirely through the generosity of BC Cancer Foundation donors who are helping to ensure that patients have access to the most cutting-edge treatment technology and practices available,” said Douglas Nelson, President & CEO, BC Cancer Foundation. In a matter of months, BC Cancer Foundation donors from across the province responded with contributions ranging from $20 to $2 million, and every dollar helped to ensure the VEROTM would be available to treat those diagnosed with rare and hard-totreat cancers. HARRY HUNT PHOTO After losing a dear friend to brain Aldergrove Scouts hosted their annual fundraising Christmas tree chipping event at the Aldergrove Legion’s parkcancer and receiving his own recent ing lot on Saturday, Jan. 3.
treatments for lymphoma, Hal Kettleson and his wife of 64 years, Anna, made a $2-million gift to the BC Cancer Foundation to secure Vero and the expanded treatment options it offers for patients at the BC Cancer Agency. “I read a newspaper article that alerted me to the need for the Vero machine and its potential to help cancer patients. My wife and I thought of our late friend lost to cancer and wanted to make this offer so there is something new in treatment, the only one in operation in Canada,” said Kettleson. Grateful for his own recent cancer care, he said, “I received exemplary treatment when I had to undergo chemotherapy and am now 90 per cent back to health.” Fundraising for the Vero kicked off at the BC Cancer Foundation’s Hope Couture event in September, raising $1.5 million and thanks to the generosity of many over the past few months, radiation therapy research and treatment will expand to benefit those with traditionally difficult- to- treat cancers. Each year many British Columbians are diagnosed with cancers that are difficult to treat such as lung, liver, pancreas, kidney and brain cancers.

By Rob Rothwell As I dropped my aging butt into the heavily contoured driver’s seat of Jaguar’s new F-Type Coupe the first thing I learned was that it was a long way down! High doorsills made ingress even more challenging but the hardship of entry was well worth its cost. With the introduction of its F-Type, the storied British marque now offers hope to greying loyalists needing validation that sixty is the new forty. Regardless of age, the machine rewards its pilot with an exhilarating driving experience more Porsche-like in its execution than Jaguar-traditional. The F-Type – nominally regarded as today’s version of the revered E-Type – arrived on Canadian soil as a 2014 model, available only as a convertible roadster. For the 2015 model year, Jaguar put a lid on its edgy two-seater with the introduction of the Coupe version. Its stunning lines steal the spotlight from the near-venerated convertible. Surprisingly, the sensual body of the UK’s latest icon encompasses plenty of head and legroom, not to mention decently sized
The Jaguar F-Type pushes the storied marque deep into serious sports car territory with outstanding performance and an exhilarating driving experience.
stowage beneath its narrow rear hatch. But Costco capacity isn’t a hallmark of sports cars, the F-Type included. Of greater importance is what’s beneath the bonnet. A range of three power plants are available, two of which are supercharged V6 mills each displacing 3.0 litres yet developing 340 and 380 horsepower respectively. The subject of this week’s review is the brawnier of the pair, denoted by the “S” within the Coupe’s nomenclature. A third engine choice ups the testosterone immensely. The supercharged 5.0 litre V8 beneath the hood of the F-Type R Coupe dispenses a massive 550 horsepower to the Jag’s rear wheels. All three engines are backed by a ZF QuickShift 8-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles. With regret, I must inform our driving purists that the F-Type – Coupe or Convertible – is not available with a manual transmission. Pity really. Nonetheless, this cat has claws and plenty of forced-fed performance. Unlike its more traditional siblings, the F-Type doesn’t impart the soothing qualities of a restrained engine note and supple
underpinnings. Nope. Nada. Rather, it is raucous, brash, and by some accounts – that being my better half’s – uncivil. The raunchiness is justified though given the exceptional performance capabilities and egoistic essence of the machine. Jaguar literature pins a 0-100km/h time of just 4.3 seconds on the F-Type R Coupe and 4.9 seconds on the slightly tamer S version. The base car arrives at 100km/h in 5.3 seconds, yet there’s far more to this cat’s ability than sprinting. I particularly enjoyed my tester’s quick, precise steering and exceptional road-feel. Communicative steering allows the driver to feel every little tug and tag the road surface inflicts upon the wheels, which the F-Type delivers with little filtering. This quality also enables the driver to sense the approaching adhesion limits of the rubber, which is essential for track driving. I had the opportunity to drive the F-Type on Mission Raceway’s road course last year and know from that experience just how competitively the car performs. There is true sports car DNA here with driving dynamics further hastened by highly responsive brakes, which clamp immediately and remain predictable, linear, and fade-free throughout.
Keep your hands off the steering wheel “Take me home Super Cruise” could be a command that future Cadillac owners may be saying to their automobile, in the not too distant future. GM’s luxury brand seems likely to be first automaker to offer a fully automated driving feature in a production vehicle. Super Cruise is one of three entries vying for the 2015 AJAC Best New Auto Safety Technology Award. A similar entry from Honda called AcuraWatch takes us to the brink of automation and another GM entry will be of interest to those who like to cruise the internet.
A combination of radar, ultrasonic sensors, cameras and GPS map data are used by Super Cruise to provide 360 degrees of crash risk detection bubble around the vehicle and enhanced driver assist features. Super Cruise is still undergoing real-world driving assessments and is expected to make its way into Cadillac production models in 2017. Honda/Acura – AcuraWatch: A system that takes vehicle operation to the brink of automation, AcuraWatch is a suite of driver-assist technologies that’s offered in the Technology and Elite editions of the new Acura TLX.
GM - Super Cruise: Super Cruise is the working Bob McHugh name that GM has given a yet to be released automated driving technology that will (or can) allow handsoff-the-wheel lane following, braking and speed control, in certain highway driving situations. The goal of this technology is to increase the comfort of an attentive driver on freeways, both in bumper-to-bumper traffic and on long road trips.
An interesting new tech included in this package is the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Low-Speed Follow (LSF). Unlike other systems of this ilk, it uses both grille-mounted (millimeter-wave) radar and a windshield mounted camera to monitor and maintain a preset vehicle speed and following distance interval to the vehicle directly ahead.
The claimed safety value of Super Cruise is that it could mitigate many traffic collisions and improve traffic congestion. The system sends and receives basic safety information such as location, speed and direction of travel between vehicles that are approaching each other. It will warn drivers and can supplement active safety features, such as forward collision warning, already available on many production cars.
The Low-Speed Follow feature is designed primarily for use in stop and go traffic. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, the TLX will also come to a stop. If the vehicle ahead then moves within 3 seconds, the TLX will automatically resume Low-Speed Follow mode. If the vehicle ahead does not move within 3 seconds, then the driver can resume Low Speed Follow by pressing the “RES” switch up or down, or by taping the gas pedal.
Super Cruise will also add a new lane-centering technology that relies on forward-looking cameras and other sensors to detect markings, curves and other road characteristics. It will also use a series of alerts to communicate with the driver based on human factor research conducted on test tracks.
Other systems included in the AcuraWatch package include Multi-Angle Rearview Camera and Cross Traffic Monitor, Forward Collision Warning, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Road Departure Mitigation and Blind Spot Information.
A simulator is also being used to measure driver eye glance behavior and control interactions in computer-generated automated driving situations.
GM - 10th Generation OnStar: A 10th generation of GM’s OnStar telematics system with 4G LTE has been rolled out in most of its 2015 model year vehicles. It basically turns the vehicle
into a WiFi hotspot that allows occupants to connect up to seven personal devices (smartphones, laptops, tablets etc.) and have them work just like they do at home. The 4GLTE feature also enhances OnStar’s array of safety and security services and provides a more personal experience as the OnStar agent can stay on the line as they manage the vehicle data interface. A new addition is remote diagnostic, which provides a customer with a monthly health status on their vehicle and it can also assist with arranging a maintenance appointment. A clever smartphone app, called OnStar RemoteLink Key Fob Services, allows an owner to lock or unlock doors, activate the horn and lights, and remotely start a properly-equipped vehicle. It’s included free for five years. OnStar is standard in all 2015 GM vehicles and advisors currently respond to approximately 185,000 calls every day. All three technologies are competing for the 2015 AJAC Best New Auto Safety Technology Award, which will be announced at the Montreal Auto Show on January 15, 2015. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

MCGRATH, Michael Steven 21-April-1960 to 03-Jan-2015 Michael passed peacefully in his sleep at his home, very suddenly on Jan 3, 2015. He was pre-deceased by his Dad, Joseph A.W. McGrath in 1994 and his brother Ingo and sister-in-law Betty in 1999. He leaves to mourn his partner Susan Sidney, his mother Hannelore McGrath from Napanee Ont, his sister Monika (Jeff), brothers Patrick (Susan) and Peter (Marina), numerous nephews and nieces from B.C. Manitoba and Ontario, also cousins from BC., Ont, and N.B. Michael loved the great outdoors, especially his favourite fishing spot where he caught many of his “big ones” (and he did get pictures of most!) According to his wishes, cremation has taken place. A memorial will be held at Alternative Funeral Home, 3070 275A St. Aldergrove BC, from 3:30-4:30pm on Thursday January 8th followed by a get-together with his family and friends at Bertram Estates, 27044 32 Ave Aldergrove, BC.
