Agrifair: A wild ride Extreme heat suppressed fair crowds Neil CORBETT Abbotsford News

The organizers of Agrifair were pleased with the show they were able to offer the public – even if it was too hot for people to enjoy it for some stretches of the weekend. As temperatures in Abbotsford soared past 30 C for long stretches of the fair weekend, even a slow walk through the misting tent wasn’t going to cut it, and some would-be fairgoers apparently sought the comfort of air conditioning. “We’ve had good days, but the heat has been a little extreme at some points,” said Agrifair general manager Pamela Brenner. On Sunday, with the temperature at 32 C, West Coast Amusements shut down its midway rides. Apparently the metal on the ride seats was hot enough to be uncomfortable, and even a burn hazard. They re-opened the rides at 5 p.m. However, a cooling breeze in the evening brought the crowds out, and the Christian rock group Starﬁeld played to an enthusiastic audience of 1,200 to 1,300 on Sunday evening. “It’s a good fair,” said Brenner on Monday morning, as the last day was coming out of the chute. “I’m proud of the board and the volunteers, and what they’ve accomplished.” Last year the fair drew about 36,000 people over four and a half days. Brenner said it was difﬁcult to estimate whether the 2012 edition would match that. More coverage on A5

Abbotsford’s hospital aims to reduce congestion Adrian MACNAIR Abbotsford News

The move coincides with a deadline set for Fraser Health by Health Minister Mike de Jong to pursue measurable improvements in five key areas to reduce hospital congestion within 150 days. One of the numbers de Jong wants to see drop is the roughly 100 patients across

Fraser Health who at any given time are being treated in hallways or other areas not designed for clinical care. Fraser Health spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward said that number is typically about 10 patients in ARH on heavily congested days. But Linda Pipe, spokeswoman for the Fraser Valley region of the B.C. Nurses’ Union, says that num-

ber is closer to 20 or 30, because of those patients who are temporarily placed in bathrooms or closets. She said ARH has been struggling to meet demand since it opened four years ago with roughly the same number of beds as the old hospital. “They (the provincial gover nment) closed St. Mary’s and they closed Shaughnessy, and you’re seeing the

Officials at Abbotsford Regional Hospital (ARH) are trying to get people out of the corridors and acute care beds and reduce overall congestion as part of a broad initiative across Fraser Health. One of the new methods includes having home care staff based at emergency departments to intercept incoming elderly patients. Some can be redirected back home and treated there with sufficient home support, according to Brook Richardson, executive director of ARH. “At this time we’re moving forward to streamline operations. And it’s more than just a hospital perspective, it’s also a community perspective,” she said, adding it’s about using multiple resources of formal and informal care. The hospital’s emergency department has a geriatric nurse who focuses on elderly patients and

repurcussions of what they’ve done there,” she said. Nurses are struggling physically and ethically with having to work with patients in hallways, citing a lack of privacy, confidentiality and toilet facilities. The latter is particularly important because without proper hand-washing facilities there will be a rise in infection rates, she said. But T hor peDorward said infections like C difficile aren’t as much of an issue in Abbotsford because it’s a newer facility. He said Abbotsford’s yearto-date rates are 4.6 cases per 10,000 patients, down one per cent from last year, and well below the national average. ARH’s enhanced cleaning and handwashing strategies also take credit, he said. Other minister-set targets include a cut in the average length of patient stay in hospital, an increase in the percentage of

registered nurses. “We agree that the best place for people to live out their remaining lives, especially seniors, is in their home. The problem is there’s not enough staff to look after them.” Fraser Health last year treated 3.9 per cent more hospital patients and recorded a five per cent increase in inpatient days as well as a 7.3 per cent jump in ER visits. The 2,200 acute care beds across 12 hospitals are routinely full. Richardson said more specialized hospitals like ARH routinely absorbs patients from outside their municipality. “When I think of Hope and Chilliwack and those smaller communities, Abbotsford is a higher level of care facility, so we welcome individuals coming from other parts of the Fraser Health area,” she said. An independent expert panel interviewed 500 clinicians and workers in Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian hospitals, releasing a report in April identifying congestion issues across Fraser Health. — with files from Jeff Nagel

A dangerous sexual predator considered a high risk to reoffend is settling in Abbotsford and there’s not much the city can do to stop it. Don Michael Bakker, 46, was the first Canadian to be convicted in Canada for “sex tourism,” exploiting and sexually assaulting underage girls in Cambodia. When he was released from prison in late May after serving out his full term, the Penticton RCMP issued a public warning. Mayor Bruce Banman said as much as people might hate it, released convicts have every right to seek a community in which to live. “My view is that I wish sex offenders of any kind were not

Abbotsford might be a destination for Bakker. He had heard through police intelligence that he was destined for another community so it took him by surprise. “Obviously aware of his background, we felt it was necessary – it’s an extraordinary step and we’ve only done it a few times – to equip the citizens of Abbotsford with all of the information that was available,” he said. The police have acted quickly to make citizens aware of his relocation and post a photo so he’s recognizable. MacDonald said the community mobilized against the arrival of sex offender James Douglas Campbell to east Abbotsford in May 2011. He quickly breached his parole

orders and was rearrested a week later. “The flip side of that is we did a notification on Jeffrey Goddard (in February) and there wasn’t a lot of public outcry, mostly because Jeffrey Goddard was an Abbotsford guy,” he said. However, that public notification worked because he was later reported seen in a hot tub with children at a local recreation centre by a member of the public, leading to his re-arrest. Banman said he has every confidence the major crimes unit will be watching Bakker closely to protect the community, but encouraged people to take a hard look at the photograph and memorize his face. “Let’s do what we can to keep the pressure on and if he has truly reformed he won’t have a problem with that and he’ll understand it,” he said. And if he hasn’t changed he’ll likely leave Abbotsford because criminals don’t like to be under close scrutiny, he added. Bakker has a strict curfew from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., is not to be in contact with any sex-trade workers or persons under 18; not possess a computer, pornography or any device with access to the Internet; not visit areas where children are known to congregate; not own a camera or other recording device; or any device that could be used as a restraint. Bakker has been in custody since July 13 after turning himself in to Penticton RCMP when he couldn’t find a place to live, which was a violation of his probation order. In 2005 Bakker pleaded guilty to sexually abusing seven girls in Cambodia between the ages of seven and 14, as well as Vancouver sex-trade workers. He was sentenced to 10 years in prison, with three and a half years credit for time served awaiting trial. He was released after the full term was served on May 31.

Poll finds open minds on oil pipelines

Tom FLETCHER Black Press

Despite the media focus on spills and protests against new oil pipelines proposed for B.C., about half of respondents in a new poll are open to changing their minds based on economic or environmental factors. The Angus Reid survey of 804 B.C. residents found 35 per cent completely opposed to the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway line from north-

ern Alberta to port facilities at Kitimat. Only seven per cent indicated unqualified support for the line. Another 27 per cent said they support the Enbridge proposal but could change their minds based on economic benefits or environmental protection. Similarly, 24 per cent were opposed but open to reconsidering based on economic or environmental concerns. The survey asked participants what they think of Premier

Christy Clarkâ€™s five preconditions for provincial support of the Enbridge project. About a third said they would more likely back the project if Clarkâ€™s demand of â€œworld leadingâ€? marine and landbased spill response was met, and a similar number said they would be persuaded

if the current federal environmental review supports it. Economic benefits to B.C. were cited as a factor in considering support by 32 per cent of respondents. NDP MLA Shane Simpson said the poll shows a clear trend to more opposition as people become more familiar with

the pipeline issues. Firm opposition is five to one against the Enbridge proposal, and is strongest in northern B.C., he said. A proposal to twin the existing Kinder Morgan oil pipeline between Alberta and port facilities in Burnaby was supported by 37 per

cent of respondents and opposed by about half. While the NDP is campaigning against the Northern Gateway project, Simpson said the NDP wonâ€™t take a stand for or against the Kinder Morgan proposal until the company makes a formal application to Ottawa that details its

plans. There were 32 tankers loaded with crude oil at Kinder Morganâ€™s Burnaby facilities last year, and 69 in 2010. A company official said an expanded pipeline would generate 25 to 30 tanker loads per month going out through Vancouver harbour.

River warning The apparent death of a 67-yearold fisherman near Hope offers yet another reminder of how treacherous river conditions currently are. The search continued Monday for the man, who police say went into the water three kilometres north of Yale after slipping off a rock Saturday afternoon. River deaths around the Fraser Valley have been mercifully rare this year; the weekend incident marks the first. But the ferocity of this year’s freshet has taken its toll elsewhere. Most recently three people drown in a tubing accident near Grand Forks. Those deaths have sparked reminders that rivers – inviting as they are on a hot summer day – need to be treated with respect. “The RCMP want to remind fishermen and anyone who is near the river to always wear a flotation device,” said RCMP spokesperson Cst. Tracy

Wolbeck. “The rivers in the Upper Fraser Valley are running extremely fast and cold and a ﬂotation device could save a life in an emergency situation. With temperatures reaching summertime highs, the water will offer an inviting reprieve. However, as experienced ﬁshers know, even the slightest misstep can bring tragedy. Strong currents and slippery footing bring danger even in shallow water. The high water levels, meanwhile, brought on by rainfall and rapid snow melt, can hide fallen logs and debris that can easily snare and tear rafts and tubes. The river is a great place to spend a lazy summer afternoon. But the power of this resource cannot be overstated. The cost of failing to treat rivers with the respect they demand is high. – Black Press

Look to innovation, not conflict Mark

Rushton On the

Other Hand At a heated community meeting last week, in which residents and land owners on Sumas Mountain made quite clear to city council the fact that their properties were privately owned and not common land open for public use, I happened to chat with the city’s director of parks and recreation. In short order the discussion, not instigated by me, led to the tree protection bylaw and his contention that the city must, yet again, have control over private ownership, using the argument that “we do it all the time with private lands (building permits, zoning, etc.).” He then became quite agitated when I did not agree that the city should have ownership of trees it considers signiﬁcant. Now despite what many may believe, I am to an extent an environmentalist. I believe that many aspects of our environ-

ment need to be preserved for the common good. However, I also believe that an individual should not be personally required to provide those things for current or future generations. Therefore I offer for consideration a novel approach, at least to “signiﬁcant tree” protection in our community. Firstly, an inventory of all such trees, and they should only be indigenous, needs to be taken throughout the city, including agricultural lands which are not currently protected due to the provincial Right to Farm Act. This inventory can begin with an aerial survey … obviously, signiﬁcant trees will stand out due to their height or canopy size. Determining their exact location is a simple matter with a GPS device. The city should then approach the owner, point out the city’s desire to protect it for the future, and have the tree appraised. Offer the owner current timber market value, paid for through a reduction in property taxes (perhaps phasing the cost over a 10-year period) and register a codicil, caveat, easement or whatever is the appropriate restriction on the property title that the tree is now owned by the city and cannot be

removed. The tree lives, the city has done “the right thing,” the tree huggers are happy, and the now-former owner should be comfortable with the compensation. Of course, the fact that the tree is now publicly-owned does not grant the city nor the public any rights of access across private property unless that is also compensated for at the time.

Our elected officials need to suggest – nay, demand – that staff adopt a new philosophy and approach... I thought it interesting during my brief conversation with the parks director, that when I pointed out that perhaps the only remaining old-growth ﬁrs within the city are completely ignored I received a blank reaction as if he and his tree protection staff were unaware of them. Yet there, standing tall against Sumas Mountain Road, are seven giants which,

from all appearances are, as they were called when I was young, virgin timber. They are huge, scattered in a 200-metre line along a creek, and somehow despite being adjacent the “ancient” Kilgard brickworks survived being cut down to feed the plant’s drying kilns. And there they stand, without protection, completely unnoticed and overlooked while city staffers still believe it is necessary, for the benefit of all, to target some guy wanting to cut down the oak tree he planted 40 years ago. Our elected officials need to suggest – nay, demand – that staff adopt a new philosophy and approach – one that looks for innovative and non-punitive ways to solve issues, rather than simply relying on the enactment of laws upon unnecessary laws. We’d all end up in a happier place, and at the same time council could dispel the notion, at least in Abbotsford, that – as NDP cabinet minister Dave Zirnhelt once said in the 1990s – “government can do anything.” The NDP found out that was wrong. And, with that philosophy, other governments will eventually find themselves on the outside looking in as well. markrushton@abbynews.com

Police licence plate cameras face privacy probe Critics see slippery slope to unjustified surveillance Jeff NAGEL Black Press

B.C.â€™s Privacy Commissioner will probe the use by municipal police of cruiser-mounted cameras that rapidly scan thousands of licence plates from passing vehicles into a database after critics raised objections. Elizabeth Denham said her investigation of the Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) system is already underway. Civil libertarians are applauding the announcement, arguing the RCMP and other forces are using the plate-scanning technology for purposes beyond the original intent. The 43 cameraequipped police cars in the province scan

passing or parked vehicle plates against ICBC and national police databases. There is one ALPRequipped police car in Abbotsford. Police instantly see if a car is stolen or uninsured â€“ or if the probable driver is unlicensed, prohibited from driving, wanted by police or accused of a crime. Each time a flagged vehicle is detected, its time and location is recorded and kept for two years. Rob Wipond, one of three independent researchers whose work convinced Denham to act, welcomes the investigation. â€œThis thing has been operating for years without any kind of independent oversight,â€? he said. â€œWeâ€™re talking about mass population surveillance.â€? Wipond said the criteria for generating actionable hits has expanded from traffic violations to data like whether youâ€™ve ever gone to court to seek child custody or had a

mental health episode that involved police. The result, he said, is a disturbing map of the movements of myriad suspect vehicles that can be traced back two years. That might seem laudable when it helps police find an abduction victim, solve a murder or keep sex offenders from parking outside schools. But Wipond envisions British-style uses, like recording the licence plates of vehicles coming to a lawful demonstration and then using ALPR

to detect, intercept and slow the same protesters headed to future gatherings. Taken to extremes, critics argue, authorities could use ALPR to track where union leaders, protest organizers and journalists go and who they meet. Wipond said police algorithms could one day decide that because someone went to a suspicious location, they should be flagged for closer scrutiny. â€œThe public needs to think about this

Traffic Services Supt. Denis Boucher said ALPR isnâ€™t used to record suspect vehicles for future tracking. â€œAnybody can speculate,â€? he said. â€œBut it isnâ€™t used as an intel-

ligence-gathering tool. Itâ€™s used as an enforcement tool.â€? He said police couldnâ€™t use it to collect data on vehicles arriving at a Hells Angels clubhouse â€“ or a protest.

Unmistakable sound of Back Door Slam

Back Door Slam returns to the Envision Twilight Concert Series at Mission’s Fraser River Heritage Park on Aug. 10 from 7 to 8 p.m. The group has received rave reviews for its music all over the globe. Soaring vocals, strong harmonies, flying fiddle, swingin’ guitar, harmonica, bass, mandolin and washboard comprise their unmistakable sound. Fiddle player Jennie Bice came west in search of other musicians driven enough to play the speed she wanted, and bold enough to try some of her ideas. Her recordings span many genres. Joe Samorodin’s fretless and stand-up bass playing reflects the many rhythms that have crossed his path. He can turn the energy of a performance into a non-stop dance that often ends up in the audience! West Coast Music Award nominee Kat Wahamaa has a wonderful voice and plays a mighty fine mandolin. She has shared the stage with notables such as Colin Lynden, Connie Caldor and Harry Manx. Tony Rees was drawn to the folk music scene flourishing in the UK during his teens. Tony plays swing, folk and blues guitar, harmonica and has a unique vocal sound. The group’s music is described as roots and branches, down in the dirt stuff including old time country, blues, bluegrass and western swing; traditional music of the British Isles; and even Finnish folk. They infuse these styles with elements of East Coast kitchen party, punk rock-abilly and a penchant for swing and rhythm. They play with such exuberance and feeling you’ll want to get up and dance! On Aug. 15 The Hornets will perform at the Twilight stage. The Hornets formed in 1975 as a Beatles tribute band. They play classic rock with original arrangements and key so the sound is the same one you fell in love with when you first heard the music. Their goal is to bring

back great memories of good times to their audience. It’s a family affair for founding member and band leader Chris Marr who plays guitar, piano, drums, bass, banjo and vocals. His son

Keith joined the band 17 years ago, and he also plays bass, guitar and vocals. Brotherin-law Norman Hyde, on lead guitar and vocals, joined 15 years ago. Rounding out the group is Len Hall on drums.

The Art in the Park program continues with a variety of visual artists presenting their work each evening of Twilight. Bring a lawn chair or blanket for a fun evening at the park. The Blackberry

Kitchen and The Log Cabin Café are open. Envision Twilight Concerts are a community, free-bydonation series. For more information about this show, or future events, call 604-826-0277.

DERKSEN Rosalind “Linda” Sept. 28, 1939-July 28, 2012

So sadly and suddenly, our beloved Mother, Oma, Sister and Friend, succumbed to cancer and entered into the glory of heaven where “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes and death shall be no more, neither shall there be sorrow or mourning nor grief nor pain any more.” Predeceased by her husband of 43 years Henry in 2002 and precious eldest son James in 1998, she is survived by her devoted sons and daughtersin-law, Jeffrey (LaDonna), Brian (Rosalind) and cherished grandchildren, Steven, Bria, Allison and Danae. A memorial service will be held in her honour at 1:00 pm, Wednesday, August 8th, at South Delta Baptist Church, 1988 56th Street, Tsawwassen, BC. You are invited to leave a personal message of condolence at the family’s online obituary at: www.myalternatives.ca

Katherine Dick passed away on July 30, 2012 at the age of 86 in Abbotsford, BC. She is survived by three children Evy (Rudy) Kopp of Surrey, BC; Judy (Don) Falk of Red Deer, AB; Ron (Lesley) Dick of Abbotsford, BC. She will also be missed by nine grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren and sisters Frieda (George) Janzen; Erna Jantzen, Irma (Ken) Thompson; Lil (Irv) Koop and Velma (Walter) Penner; brother-inlaw Edgar (Helen) Dick; sisterin-law Hedy Wall.

LUPULIAK Mildred M. Aug. 15, 1915 ~ July 24, 2012

Passed away July 24, 2012 at Menno Hospital at 96 years old. Predeceased by her husband Nick in 1956, her son George in 2000, son-in-law Bill Lukiv in 2003. Survived by her daughter Elsie Lukiv, grandsons, Jim (Patti) of Summerland, Doug of Abbotsford, Ron (Joan) of Calgary, Chad (Shelley) of Kelowna, granddaughters Cherylin (Andrew) Sperling of Prince George, Marci (Cam) McPherson of Quesnel, great grandchildren, Jennifer, Amanda, Myla, Cole, Noelle, Hailey, Drew, Shaunacey, Braedon and Landon. Also her 90 year old sister Angela Lewis of Calgary. A funeral mass was held July 30th at St. Ann’s Catholic Church.

After a valiant battle with cancer, Dennis passed away peacefully at Kelowna Hospice House. Born in Vancouver and raised in Abbotsford, Dennis lived his life to the fullest. He loved music, being part of the Abbotsford Concert Band for many years, playing with cars, travelling, fishing and telling stories. Family and friends were important to Dennis, and Christmas was his favorite holiday – he would have the tree up for months if he could. While some thought him gruff, those who knew him saw the soft and generous heart underneath. Dennis is survived by his wife of 39 years, Susan (Sue), son Michael (Natalie), daughter Alana, sisters Lynda (Dave), Judy, Bonnie (Ceejay), brother Bob (Linda), numerous nieces and nephews, and many good and wonderful friends. Celebration of Life will be held Friday, August 10, 2012 at 2pm at the Cache Creek Community Hall. Reception to follow. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Hospice of your choice.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at MSA Hospital in Abbotsford after battling a lengthy illness. Born in the small rural town of Craven, Saskatchewan she met her life mate Elwood Percy and they followed the propane industry around Saskatchewan before moving to British Columbia in 1964, with sons Darryl & Kim and daughter Debra. Predeceased by infant son Robin, her parents Orval and Dora Rice and sister Madge, she is survived by husband Elwood, son Darryl (Edie), son Kim (Judy), daughter Debra, grandchildren Robin, Jesse, Jena, Josh, Kristen, Kody and Katlin, great grandchildren Trinity, John and Brea, sisters Carol (Norm), Dorothy (Curl), Gladys, Lillian (Lloyd) and brother Gordon (Elaine) along with numerous nieces and nephews. She was the consummate hostess and will be fondly remembered for her and EJ’s Sunday morning breakfasts that were always open to any family and friends who could get out of bed for the 8:00 am serving. Her roast beef dinners brought all the family home on a regular basis. We could always count on her to provide the time and place for friend & family get togethers and to lift our spirits with plentiful food, drink and so many desserts and sweets. Mom was a proud supporter and always there for her kids and then again for her grandchildren at early morning hockey practices, soccer games, ball games, ringette, lacrosse, karate, dance and countless school functions. She also enjoyed her multitude of gardens as well as her winter getaways down south with EJ and many friends. The family wishes to thank Dr. Miller, Dr. Grayling, Andrea, Susan and Anita along with all the staff of the Palliative Care Unit at the MSA Hospital for their patience, kindness and understanding throughout Mom’s brief stay. Also, a special thanks to Dr. Bale for his compassion and caring manner. At Mom’s request there will be a private memorial for family members and friends at the Ramada Inn, 36035 North Parallel Road, Abbotsford, on Thursday September 20, 2012 from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made in her memory to the Dr. Stuart Pavilion at the Mission General Hospital.

The voice of the Airshow

Bob Singleton was hired for his first event in 1969 Nicolle HODGES Contributor

irshow announcing became a secondary career for Bob Singleton, who was a professional broadcaster for 38 years. He has also been the voice of the Abbotsford Airshow for the past 44 years. Upon retiring from the broadcast industry, Singleton began travelling across Canada and the United States to inform and entertain aviation fans. He found that while attending airshows elsewhere in the country, he “meets people all the time who know about the success of the Abbotsford Airshow in

particular.” “It has given Abbotsford an identity over the years that it wouldn’t have had otherwise,” he said. When Singleton was first hired as an announcer for the Abbotsford Airshow in 1969, he had never been in an airplane. He has now earned his private flying licence, and in 1996 the Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds made him an honorary member. Singleton said he enjoys announcing at airshows because it is “different and unique in the sense that you have to virtually describe everything from aerobatic acts to the various aircraft manoeuvres, as well as know the history of the

plane, where it came from, what it did, and of course the people flying them.” Now that the Abbotsford Airshow is celebrating its 50year anniversary, Singleton said the crowd is “quite knowledgeable” on the events and acts. “Someone once described it to me perfectly, that without announcers at an airshow all you would have is a lot of airplanes flying around,” explained Singleton. “However the announcing changes for the crowd in Abbotsford, since most people have been attending the show for several years now, they can handle a little bit more depth and detail.”

The Abbotsford Airshow has produced 50 years of aviation entertainment, and according to Singleton, its survival is “remarkable in its own way, considering there have been a lot of changes.” He believes that the success comes from the “dedication of hundreds of volunteers,” many of whom take their annual holidays to come and help out. Singleton said there is “no doubt that the airshow is an economic driver for the community,” but once the planes have landed and visitors have returned home, it really is about the “community where it all began and bringing those people together.”

demonstrate their esprit de corps. In the air they combine precision formation flying with solo performances. Pilots have their own loud-and-proud routines to demonstrate both their skills and the capabilities of the F-16 Fighting Falcon – Thunderbirds fly the U.S. Air Force’s premier multi-role fighter jet. Their performance in Abbotsford will be the team’s only appearance in Canada this year, as they return to the city help celebrate the show’s 50th anniversary in style. They fly a full schedule that began in March and ends in November. The team has eight highly experienced and carefully selected fighter pilots, and six of them will fly a demonstration in the Abbotsford International Air Show. Thunderbird 7 is the operations officer, and Thunderbird 8 is the advance pilot and narrator, lending his voice to describe the maneuvers during the show. Thunderbirds 9-12 are support officers who perform expert medical, administrative, maintenance and public affairs functions. More than 120 enlisted personnel, representing nearly 30 career fields, form the backbone of the Thunderbirds. Enlisted team members are selected from units across the Air Force in a highly competitive hiring process. While each position has its various selection requirements, all eligible candidates must show a proven record of success and extensive job proficiency. The team was born in 1953 at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona, and selected the name

Thunderbirds to reflect the strong influence of the Native American culture in the region and at the base. They have done shows across Europe and Asia, and been seen by millions.

Celebrating 50 Years of Aviation Excellence in the skies over Abbotsford.

Snowbirds carry the flag 431 Squadron a crowd favourite The Snowbirds Demonstration Team (431 Squadron) is a Canadian icon, comprised of serving members of the Canadian Forces, and always one of the crowd favourites at the Abbotsford International Airshow. The Snowbird pilots and technicians work as a team to bring thrilling performances to the North American public. The nine jets fly precise formations that make it appear to spectators that their wings are virtually tip to tip. Since 1971 they have flown the CT-114 Tutor jet – an aircraft designed and built in Canada, and used by the Canadian Forces as its basic pilot training aircraft until 2000. With its

smoke tanks attached for shows, it is capable of speeds of 750 km/h. Their engines are highly tuned to enhance response during low-level flying. The planes are painted red and white, in the colours of the Maple Leaf flag. They fly a busy schedule, in Saskatoon last weekend, in Abbotsford for three days, and then on to appearances in Quebec, Nova Scotia, PEI and Ontario before the month is out. Serving as Canadian ambassadors, the Snowbirds strive to demonstrate the high level of professionalism, teamwork, excellence, discipline and dedication inherent in the women and men of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the Canadian Forces.

U.S. Navy demos a Super Hornet The Abbotsford Airshow will offer a chance to see the U.S. Navy VFA-122 Flying Eagles put a Super Hornet through its paces. The Tactical Demonstration (Tac Demo) Team flies the single-seat F/A18E and two-seat F/A-18F as close to the “edge of the envelope” as safety and prudence allow. It is a carrier-based multi-role fighter jet, and it entered service with the U.S. Navy in 1999. The routine highlights the Rhino’s maneuverability and slow-speed handling characteristics and has been very well received by audiences. It is a $67 million aircraft capable of Mach 1.8 – almost twice the speed the sound. In addition to high-performance demonstrations with a single aircraft, VFA-122 also participates in “Legacy” shows in which Super Hornets fly in formation with classic warbirds like the F-4U Corsair and F6F Hellcat. Legacy shows provide a unique comparison between where the past and present.

Local air shows date back to the 1920s Fundraising event held in ’48 before present version began in 1962 Kris FOULDS The Reach

THE REACH

N409

An air show was held at the Abbotsford Airport from July 2-4, 1948. It was held to raise funds to aid flood victims.

50 years of fabulous.

Abbotsford’s first airshows were held in the late 1920s on a landing strip in the Matsqui Prairie community of Gifford. Two brothers, Joseph and Bob Lundstrom, became determined to build a plane of their own. With the use of an engine from a disused Oakland car and the help of some mail order plans, the brothers slowly began construction. Their father, Daniel Lundstrom, built a large shop, still standing, to accommodate his sons’ project and a landing strip on the family farm. During the show, 14 planes came from Chilliwack and Vancouver and passengers were able to fly in a Piper Cub for the reasonable fee of a penny a pound. July 1, 2 and 3, 1948 saw the first airshow held at the Abbotsford airport, built during the Second World War as a flight training school. At the time of the first show, the airport was still The Fokker Triplane, home to about 600 the 1963 show. people displaced by the disastrous flood that had inundated most of Matsqui in May of that year. Sponsored by the Abbotsford Lions and the Chilliwack Flying Club, the three-day event attracted 18,000 spectators. Thrill followed thrill as plane after plane took to the air. Highlights of each day were demonstrations by R.W. “Swede” Ralston, 29-year-old flying marvel, who went up in a D-26 Harvard,

and 60-year-old “Pop” Whittier from Seattle who performed a thrilling 5,000 -foot parachute jump, free falling 2500 feet before pulling the ripcord and finally drifting to safety. Dances were held each evening and one third of the proceeds went to the B.C. Flood Relief Fund. The concept of the airshow as we know it today occurred in 1961, when the Abbotsford Flying Club formed. The founding 40 members felt the Abbotsford Airport was too valuable a resource to waste. Through the initial support of $700 from the Abbotsford Rotary Club, the first show went ahead with over 14,000 spectators. In 1963, the crowd of spectators doubled that of the first year and Toby Trowbridge joined the airshow as announcer. His colourful commentaries would make Toby “the voice of the Abbotsford Airshow” for years to come. 1967 saw the first THE REACH P2278 visit of the Golden Centennaires aeroRed Baron in flight at batic flying team. In 1968 they returned, recreated as the Snowbirds. Their popularity at Abbotsford played a large role in the Snowbirds becoming a permanent squadron. Attendance also reached an all-time peak of 340,000. Canada’s Prime Minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau opened the 1969 Abbotsford Airshow and proclaimed it Canada’s Continued on B15

Celebrating 50 Years of Aviation Excellence in the skies over Abbotsford. Things took off in the ’70s From B14

National Airshow. The Boeing 747 made its first appearance in Canada at Abbotsford in 1969. The Airshow continued on into the 1970s, growing in popularity. The Goodyear Blimp made its first visit in 1971. In 1974, King Hussein of Jordan, a reported aviation buff, opened the show. The same year, Toby Trowbridge passed away and Bob Singleton, trained by Toby, took over. In 1976, the Blue Angels celebrated their 30th anniversary and appeared in their new McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawks. In 1978, Premier Bill Bennett opened the show. A highlight of 1979 was a flyover by the SR 71 Blackbird, unable to land due to secret material on board. In 1980, the British built Harrier made its first appearance at Abbotsford.

In 1974, King Hussein of Jordan, a reported aviation buff, opened the show. the world made first-time performances in 1986. In 1987, wingwalkers passed a baton mid – air, called the “Abbotsford Pass” in honour of the show and new box seating installed was completely sold out. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney opened the show in 1989. Due to the escalating hostilities in the Persian

Gulf, the U.S. aircraft demos were cancelled in 1990 and the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce initiated its first “Flight Begins” festivities. An extraordinary number of forest fires kept Conair out of the show for the first time in two decades. In 1995, the Snowbirds flew a new routine that included a formation during which the wingtips of the aircraft were separated by only one metre. The early goal of promoting the use of the Abbotsford Airport through an airshow has been enormously successful. As a result of the airshow’s success, commercial use of the airport has expanded but with wideranging public support as strong as ever, both Airport and Airshow authorities are committed to compromises that will allow the Airshow to continue for years to come.

The Canadian Forces Parachute Team, the SkyHawks, will lend some colour to the Abbotsford Airshow with their unique demonstration. The SkyHawks are Canada’s only military parachute demonstration team. Over the last 40 years it has represented Canada and the Canadian Forces to over 73 million spectators worldwide under the team’s signature Canadian flag parachutes. Bringing their parachutes in close proximity to build formations in the sky, and using coloured smoke canisters, the team puts on a spectacular show. Performing these aerobatic parachute formations requires a high level of skill and courage; and is known as Canopy Relative Work. This year, during their 41st anniversary season, the SkyHawks will perform more than 30 shows across North America and one in Belgium, between May and October 2012. Supported by the Canadian

Army, the SkyHawks are based out of Trenton, Ontario, at the Canadian Forces Land Advanced Warfare Centre. Both regular and reserve, the team members are from various occupations of the Army, Navy, and Air Force and bring a wide range of experiences to their performances. “It is with great pride that we continue to showcase the professionalism, dedication and team work it takes to be part of Canada’s military,” says a team press release.

True North theme for CF-18 demo

The CF-18 Hornet National Demonstration Team is returning to Abbotsford for the 2012 air show. It is one of 15 air shows in Canada the team will participate in this year. This year the demo team’s theme will be “The True North Strong and Free.” The line from the national anthem is taken as their theme because it speaks to the magnificence of Canada’s north, and to the Canadian resolve to demonstrate a visible presence there and to have the capacity to defend our Arctic territory. The RCAF has an important role in the North. The Air Force operates in that region on a regular basis, conducting aerial sovereignty, reconnaissance and surveillance patrols, carrying out search and rescue operations, defending the airspace of Canada and the United States through our commitments to NORAD, and enabling military operations. To embody this theme, this year’s demo Hornet will display tail and dorsal art featuring 13 distinctive snowflakes representing Canada’s provinces and territories, as well as the 13 wings across the country. The snowflakes were created by veteran graphic design director Jim Belliveau of 410 Squadron at Cold Lake, Alberta.

Getting to school on time

A school bus wouldn't normally be associated with an air show â€“ unless the space where the kids sit was occupied by a jet engine. The Indy Boys are back to the Abbotsford International Airshow with a bus that is capable of 610 km/h. The Indy Boys are all about extreme motorsports. Driver and vehicle designer Paul Stender built his first jet-powered car almost 20 years ago, and since then has created a Humvee capable of almost 600 km/h, a jet beer truck, and an outhouse that goes 110 km/h. He has been featured in media from television's Monster Garage to the Ripley's Believe It or Not books. He is the top booking act in the jet car business. Stender is in the process of building a vehicle that will break the land speed record. He is converting a Cold War era Russian fighter jet into a car capable of speeds near 1,300 km/h.

A jet-powered school bus is among the unique vehicles that the Indy Boys will drive into the Airshow.
