Big campaign spending did not guarantee wins By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
A review of the election finance reports filed by eight winners and three ousted incumbents in the November municipal elections in Langley Township shows that spending more money didn’t always guarantee
the outcome, with low-spending candidates edging out those with better-funded campaigns. For example, incumbent councillor Bev Dornan, who had the third-biggest budget, was defeated, while incumbent Michelle Sparrow, who spent the least, won re-election.
The campaign finance disclosure documents are now posted online at the Elections BC website. Two Langley Township candidates had no money besides their own backing their campaigns.

An attempt at a compromise that would preserve some of the forested area of a proposed Aldergrove subdivision failed to win enough votes at Township council Monday afternoon (Mar. 2). Councillor Kim Richter suggested splitting the proposed Bertrand Creek Trails Estate development near 28 Avenue and 276 Street in two, with housing in the north and forest in the south. Council considered the Richter plan after hearing from several opponents of the development, who agued the property should be maintained as a “walkable” green space close to residents. The Richter proposal would eliminate 20 housing units from the planned 61. “It would be a shame to lose this last little urban forest in Aldergrove,” Richter said prior to the council vote. “Are these 20 homes worth the loss of a three-acre forest? I don’t think so.” Richter had the backing of councillor Petrina Arnason, who called the Richter proposal a “reasonable compromise” that would preserve the “last real green space in Aldergrove.” Councillor Charlie Fox spoke against the proposal, saying most people would like to see the site, the location of a former sewage treatment plant, developed. “There are a great number of silent people [who haven’t appeared before council] who say, move on,” Fox said. “And I represent those silent people.” Councillor Blair Whitmarsh said the Richter proposal was “game playing.” Councillor Michelle Sparrow proposed an amendment to the Richter proposal that would have allowed increased housing density on the north to make up for the loss of housing spaces in the south. Councillor Bob Long dismissed the idea, saying the existing proposal represents the most potentially profitable configuration for the Township, which is hoping to fund the new Aldergrove pool with the proceeds from the project. Council voted against the Richter pro-

The development has been a source of controversy since it was approved on the basis of a 2012 assessment that determined there were no trees worth preserving on the property. Critics of the project complained the arborist’s report confused the types of trees, an error that the company responsible confirmed while insisting the errors were not enough to justify saving more than a single tree. The property is the former site of the Aldergrove sewage treatment plant, which operated from the mid-1960s until the late 1990s when it was decommissioned and the area was hooked up to the Abbotsford treatment plant. The property was clear-cut for a farm many years ago, but over the years second-growth trees have taken over the southern, unused portion of the acreage. The property was never included in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) for protected farmland.

‘Kitten round-up’ set for Saturday at LAPS Aldergrove Star
SUBMITTED PHOTO
These kittens were brought into LAPS in last year’s kitten round up. The events is an opportbuity to bring in stray or unwanted kittens. This year‘s event is on Saturday, March 7.
Have an unwanted pregnant cat or litter of kittens? Langley’s animal shelter wants them, no questions asked. For the second year, the Patti Dale animal shelter is hosting its kitten round up this Saturday. Langley Animal Protection Society hosts this event to prevent dozens of kittens from being dumped on the streets, breeding and creating more kittens. The shelter has lined up enough foster families willing to take in the kittens or pregnant or nursing cats dropped off to the shelter. If you can’t make it to the shelter, they will come to you. Just text 604-332-4449. Organizers of the event say there are around 22,000 feral and abandoned cats in Langley. Kittens can be pregnant as young as four months old. At last year’s event, 28 kittens, five nursing moms and one pregnant cat were turned in. Ten kittens from two different litters were put in a cardboard box, taped shut
and left to die in the hot sun, abandoned at a Langley City dumpster in the beginning of July. Luckily, a passerby heard meowing and rescued the kittens. One didn’t survive, and three ran away, but the remaining six were fostered and cared for by LAPS. Two weeks later, another batch of kittens were left in a closed rubber container at Aldergrove Park in the warm sun. They were found quickly and also went foster homes. Internet sensation Tinykittens.com founder Shelley Roche is one of those foster moms who has allowed the world to watch as she nurses litter after litter back to health and helps them find permanent homes. LAPS is currently looking to build a 1,200 square foot building just to deal with spay and neuter and the everincreasing wild cat population. The Patti Dale Animal shelter is located at 26220 56 Ave.
More than 260 take part in Langley Coldest Night walk Aldergrove Star
Just over 260 walkers gathered at The Salvation Army Gateway of Hope on Saturday while the sun set on a clear night sky. It was a big change to last year’s snow and wet weather for the Coldest Night walk and fundraiser. Supporters of all ages gath-
ered and walked 2, 5 or 10 km to raise awareness of homelessness in Langley and also to raise money for the programs and services offered by the Gateway of Hope. While final processing is being completed to determine the grand total, estimates are that over $20,000 was raised. This was Gateway’s second year
hosting the event and there were more walkers, volunteers and donations. Not only was this a great event for the community to get involved in, it also sends out the message that the community cares about the hurting, hungry and homeless in our own backyard, said Gateway of Hope’s
Brenda Vanderhorst, event director. Walkers heard from MP Mark Warawa, City Mayor Ted Schaffer and Township Mayor Jack Froese on just how far Gateway has come from its inception nine years ago. The 53 volunteers who lent a hand in the execution of the event, as well as all the walkers, team captains, and
fundraisers, were thanked. Prospera Credit Union, Kintec Footwear and Starbucks Brookswood and Valley Centre locations helped sponsor the event. Over 35 pairs of new or gently used shoes were donated at the Kintec Footwear booth, who later presented them to the Gateway’s emergency shelter.
Sparrow won Township council seat on the cheap FROM FRONT:
Sparrow spent just $1,664.37 of her own funds to win a second term on council. Her disclosure report lists no other contributors other than “Michelle and Jordan Sparrow.” Incumbent David Davis was the other candidate who self-funded his campaign, spending $7,219. Other candidates reported a mix of corporate and individual donations. Defeated incumbent Steve Ferguson reported the highest percentage of donations from “corporations” as defined under the Elections Act: $12,603 of $15,653 or 81 per cent. Successful newcomer Angie Quaale had the highest dollar amount from corporations, $18,476.79, around half of the contri-
butions she received. Quaale spent more than any other non-mayoral candidate, $41,162.09. Of the other two newcomers, Blair Whitmarsh spent $37,384.29 and Petrina Arnason spent $11,898.77. Arnason reported the lowest percentage of donations from business or corporate supporters, just one contribution of $250 from Grants Landing Liveaboard and Floathome Service or less than four per cent of her total. The lone slate involved in the race, Live Langley, spent $22,861.35 in a vain attempt to elect Clint Lee and Kerri Ross to council. The largest contributor, other than Lee and Ross, was Angela Gedye, who donated $1,500. Lee put $6,300 into the campaign,
while Ross contributed $8,931.80. Lee finished 11th out of 22 candidates, while Ross came in 13th. Winners ranked from least to greatest spending: 1. Michelle Sparrow spent $1,664.37.

A L D E R G R O V E
Emmanuel Bussani Silver lining for air cadet biathlete Strong on his skis — he has been on the mountainside since he was four years old — Emmanuel Bussani knows what needs to be done to take the next step. Some work on his target practice and that could be the difference between silver and gold next time around for the first-year biathlete. Bussani, a 13-year-old from Aldergrove, was competing at the B.C. cadet provincial biathlon championships at Whistler Olympic Park on Feb. 15. Bussani won silver, losing to teammate Ethan Algra in the competition. The difference was that Algra hit eight of 10 targets, while Bussani was 2-for-10. Each missed target results in a time penalty. The sport consists of the athletes skiing and in between laps, taking aim at five targets which are 10m away. The trick — and it’s not easy — is to calm the heart rate down to take proper aim at the targets. While losing is never fun, Bussani was
happy with his silver medal, especially since he is so new to the sport. Both Algra and Bussani compete for the Silverfox Air Cadets out of Abbotsford. Bussani chose the Abbotsford cadet club since they had a biathlon team and the Langley cadets did not. The championships consisted of a total of 2-km of skiing. To prepare for the sport, Bussani usually goes to either Whistler or Cypress. Or he will strap on pair of roller-skies. He also does daily cardio — either swimming, running or biking — and works on his target practice once a week at the Abbotsford Fish and Game Club. Bussani already has his sights set on next year as he aims to qualify for the national championships. Long-term, he would love to represent Canada at the Olympics. Bussani thanked Peter and Lynn Agra, who drive him to the mountain to practice, as well as Capt. Lorna Martin from the Abbotsford air cadet squadron for all their involvement.

Aldergrove Secondary students and staff members wore pink in support of anti-bullying day Wednesday, Feb. 25.
Students urge safer social media strategies By TOM FLETCHER Aldergrove Star
Students celebrated Pink Shirt Day at the B.C. legislature Wednesday with poetry, drama and advice for students to avoid bullying and exploitation from predators using social media. The featured guest was Travis Price, who started Pink Shirt Day as a high school student in Nova Scotia in 2007. “Travis is a hero of the antibullying movement in this country, and he started something that won’t be stopped any time soon,” said Premier Christy Clark, who
took up the cause after reading news reports about Price’s effort. Price saw two of his fellow grade 12 students harass a younger student for wearing a pink shirt, so he and his friend bought 75 pink tank tops and handed them out at the school the next day. They promoted the idea on social media and it caught on, with hundreds of students wearing pink to school. “It is hard to stand up for people, but it’s all about taking that risk and hoping you can make somebody’s life better,” Price told a group of students and politicians at a noon-hour rally on the legislature
steps. Members of a B.C. student advisory committee released guidelines for safe online interaction to protect their privacy and prevent misuse or exploitation. The guidelines are posted at www.erasebullying.ca along with general advice for students. The website also has a way for B.C. students to make an anonymous report that they are being bullied. Speakers reinforced one piece of advice from the website, urging students to talk to their friends in person whenever they can, rather than in texting or chatting online.
Two-car Police seek bank robber crash closes Hwy. 1 Aldergrove Star
Aldergrove Star
A two-car crash on Highway 1 in Abbotsford shut down eastbound traffic for a few hours early this morning. The collision took place at about 1 a.m. just west of the Mt. Lehman interchange. When emergency crews arrived, they found one vehicle on fire and a second vehicle with someone trapped inside. Initial reports indicate that the vehicle on fire had rear-ended the other car. The person who was trapped was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries. Following the collision, police shut down eastbound traffic between 264 Street and Mt. Lehman for several hours.
Langley RCMP is seeking the assistance of the public to identify a man accused of robbing a bank on Friday. On Feb. 27, the pictured male entered the Royal Bank in Willowbrook, produced a note demanding cash and left after being given a sum of money.
Located at the Corner of 248 Street & Fraser Hwy

Editor: Re: “We need to bind carbon” letter, The Star, Feb. 26. Ah! The letter, while one of expressive concerns for the future of the planet is, as is usual in most of the cases, short of facts. The claim of a 216 foot rise in the ocean comes from the National Geographic article that states it will take up 5,000 years to happen. Other than flooding who knows if Florida will be habitable due to the expected temperature rise. The concerns about methane gas have some validity but again is short on comprehensive facts; currently 51 per cent of emissions come from livestock. The National Geographic projection of the earth in 5,000 years is somewhat bleak, but I believe that the earth is a living entity and will clean house as required to continue, plus the fact in spite of advances in the medical system I do not foresee me living to see the end result.

VICTORIA – In a recent speech, Premier Christy Clark quipped that while teenagers tend to be lazy, there is a limit. If your kid is still on the couch after age 30, she said, he’s not a teenager any more. “He’s a New Democrat.” Clark’s ‘get off the couch and get a job’ message is now being translated into government policy. The B.C. government is using one of the few tools available to it to track down people who aren’t paying off their student loans, by linking defaulted debt to driver’s licence renewals. There are “hardship” provisions for those who don’t have a job. ICBC will only refuse to renew a driver’s licence or vehicle plates for those who have let their student debt go for a year without making some effort to deal with it. Student debt collection is a long-standing problem for the province, with about $185 million currently on the books as defaulted and unpaid. Students naturally move around after completing their studies, and once the sixmonth grace period for beginning to repay student loans expires, finding those who aren’t paying becomes a costly effort. Historically governments sent defaulted debt to collection agencies. Last year $17.3 million was collected. How big is student debt these days? The subject was
discussed briefly in the legislature last week. In question period, NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that tuition fees have doubled over the past decade, and cited a Bank of Montreal estimate that the average university student emerges from a four-year program owing $35,000 in student loans. With his usual modesty and tact, Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson dismissed Horgan’s accusation that he is indifferent to the plight of students. Wilkinson noted that the Bank of Montreal surveyed 602 students across Canada, and only 78 of them were in B.C. “To clarify this, and to address the cackling chickens on the other side, we have 430,000 students in our system,” Wilkinson said. “Some of them are part-time; some of them are on short courses. We have 180,000 students who are in the system full-time and eligible for student aid. “Of those 180,000 students, 45,000 turn to the province for financial aid – meaning that 75 per cent of students, more than what was quoted on the CBC yesterday, go through their education without incurring debt through the provincial student aid program.” Whatever the amount owing is for an individual, it’s a debt that will be more difficult to avoid paying.
The province has long used the withholding of driving privileges to collect unpaid provincial court fines, and that was recently extended to those who are 90 days in arrears on $25 or more worth of Lower Mainland bridge tolls. This student debt collection move follows efforts to match up post-secondary funding to areas of employment demand. In an era where misguided university professors use their positions to organize violent protests against job-creating projects, the messages are similar. Variations of this productivity theme are being heard from governments across North America. The baby boomers are retiring. We are bringing in temporary foreign workers, not because of some rightwing plot, but because too many people growing up in our society refuse to do an increasing range of jobs. We have an education system – and media – that encourages people to complain and make demands to get what they want. And we are seeing the results of all of this. There was a U.S. president once who said, “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

No more property transfer tax? Dream on... Realtors, prospective homebuyers and sellers, and others can stop hoping that B.C.’s property transfer tax (PTT) will be discontinued. It’s never going to happen. The reason? It’s a major cash cow for the provincial government, needed to balance the budget and there’s nowhere else to raise that large chunk of cash without raising personal and corporate income taxes, and that’s not on for the BC Liberals. Premier Christy Clark is proud of what she says is the country’s lowest tax rate so this kind of special tax, that only hits buyers of property, is not going anytime soon, even though, as Clark herself says, it’s a drag on the economy. Here’s how it shakes down, according to a recent article by Black Press regional reporter Jeff Nagel: The PTT consists of 1% charged on the first $200,000 of a property’s value and 2% after that. That means for a $600,000 house, $10,000 is due every time it changes hands. This handy little calculation is not just a painful hit to the pocket book when purchasing a home — it’s a major source of revenue, generating $1.04 billion in 2014. Don’t think that’s a lot of cash? Well, consider that the PTT raises significantly more than forestry — formerly the province’s number one industry — which only brings in about $757 million; or natural gas royalties, which at $542 million, generate about half of what the PTT does. These revenue numbers are interesting for another reason: They show how important real estate is to B.C.’s ongoing financial solidity. Without a strong real estate market, helped, no doubt, by record-low interest rates, the provincial coffers would be much poorer. The province also benefits from rising property values and while there are exemptions for family transfers and first-time home buyers, it appears the property transfer tax is a necessary evil that raises millions to cover basic provincial services. A strong real estate industry and increased property values, especially in singlefamily homes, are therefore critical to government budgeting — at least for now. So unless the much-vaunted LNG industry or another economic sector can provide a windfall, the PTT is here to stay. -Black Press

Township council says ‘no’ to Aldergrove farm redevelopment By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
A proposal to allow development on 50 acres of Aldergrove farmland was narrowly rejected Monday afternoon by Township council, which voted 5-4 against the idea. The owner of the land near 26 Avenue and 272 Street has tried and failed three times to get the property out of the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) since 2001. In his latest application, the agent for owner Slavco Obrovac, Pacific Land Resource Groups Inc. of Surrey, argued the site should be approved because it will mean more people living
in Aldergrove which “has the potential to help meet the overall needs of the community, particularly by supporting local commercial businesses and reversing declining school enrollment.” Obrovac was asking council to refer his application to the Agricultural Land Commission, the provincial agency that regulates the ALR. Councillor David Davis said the issue is whether farmland should be protected. “I think we have to draw a line in the sand here,” Davis said, telling council colleagues “I feel you don’t support agriculture” if they voted to endorse the application.
Mayor Jack Froese took issue with that, saying “voting yes or no [on this proposal] doesn’t determine whether you support agriculture.” Councillor Bob Long said the parcel of farmland is “urban land” that abuts residential homes. Long agreed with the the owner’s argument the development would help the local community, saying “we need to find ways to get more people in Aldergrove.” Councillor Petrina Arnason took a different view, saying “I don’t think this is an appropriate way to grow.”
Councillor Blair Whitworth said the project fits within the Aldergrove community plan and should be sent to the ALC to get their feedback. “It’s not good government to decide on the fly that we don’t like the community plan,” Whitmarsh said. Councillor Angie Quaale said the proposal “feels like urban creep to me” and voted with Councillors Davis, Arnason, Kim Richter and Michelle Sparrow against sending the application to the ALC, a 5-4 vote with mayor Froese, and councillors Whitmarsh, Long and Charlie Fox in the minority.
Township calls for train warning signs By DAN FERGUSON Aldergrove Star
Langley Township council is joining a Langley City call for construction of long-promised electronic warning signs. The signs, designed to alert motorists when to divert to new overpasses to avoid delays at railway level crossings, were supposed to be installed by March of last year. It never happened, because the cost of the high-tech signs turned out to be more than expected. Langley City has written a letter to the project manager of the Roberts Bank Rail Corridor,
demanding that it honour its promise to install electronic traffic signs on 200 Street, 208 Street and Logan Avenue in the City. On learning that, Township Councillor Charlie Fox said the same demand should be made for the four planned sign locations in the Township — at 200 Street between 66 and 70 Avenues, Glover Road and Mufford Crescent, 56 Avenue and 211 Street and Fraser Highway and 210 Street. The vote on Monday (Feb. 16), was unanimous. The displays were supposed to be part of the $2.5 million Rail Crossing Information System
(RCIS) that uses advanced motion detectors to predict when a train is going to pass through an at-grade rail crossing. However, Langley City CAO Francis Cheung said the sign project included a budget of $3.8 million for the signs, but when they were put to tender, bids came in higher than anticipated. The rail line through the Langleys currently carries up to 18 trains a day to and from the Deltaport container cargo and coal terminals, ranging from 6,000 to 9,500 feet in length. That is expected to become up to 38 trains daily by 2021, with some trains as long as
12,000 feet. Cliff Stewart, vice-president of infrastructure at Port Metro Vancouver, said at Tuesday’s Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce meeting that the warning signs will be in place by the end of this year. He said he spoke with the administrators of both Langley Township and Langley City on Tuesday, assuring them that the signs will be put in place. About 388,000 vehicles cross the tracks along the corridor every day, a number expected to rise to 560,000 by 2021. — with files from Brenda Anderson
New museum of flight moves step closer By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
A newer, bigger home for the Canadian Museum of Flight is a step closer after a vote by a majority of Langley Township council to support the museum application for permission to build a new facility on protected farmland next to the Langley airport. The application is to the Agricultural Land Commission CALC), the provincial agency that regulates the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), for permission to build the new museum on a 1.6-acre site of protected farmland in the 21300 block of Fraser Highway, next to the Derek Doubleday Arboretum.
The museum, which has 25 restored aircraft, including six in flying condition, currently operates out of a leased 650 square metre hangar at the airport and has no room to expand. It already has an agreement with the Township to lease the land. Two members of council had doubts about the proposal, saying they support a new museum, but not in a protected green space. Councillor Petrina Arnason said the plan represented a “kind of airport creep” into the ALR, while Councillor Kim Richter said “that’s an awful lot of paving” close to the arboretum. Both voted against endorsing the museum application to the ALC.

Drivers in the City of Langley can expect delays along 200 Street, south of Fraser Highway, to last into late summer or early fall as crews replace and upgrade water, sanitary and storm water utilities below ground. While work is carried out, traffic along the City’s main north-south thoroughfare is being reduced to one lane in
either direction. Piggybacking on work being done by Metro Vancouver to construct a new sewer main along a right of way, between 53 Avenue and Fraser Highway, the City is using the opportunity to add capacity and performance upgrades to the water, sanitary and storm water utilities that run beneath 200 Street from Fraser Highway, south to 50 Avenue.

200 Street traffic delays could go into fall By BRENDA ANDERSON

the full width of 200 Street will be repaved between those two cross streets. After being briefed on the progress of the work, which began in mid-January, Mayor Ted Schaffer asked the City’s engineer, Rick Bomhof, whether any thought had been given to extending water and sewer lines toward several properties along the west side of 200 Street in anticipation of their redevelop-
ment. Schaffer noted there are a number of older homes along a stretch of 200 Street that will likely be redeveloped into multifamily structures in the not-toodistant future. It would be a shame, he said, to complete this project, then have to go back in a year’s time and cut up the new pavement to install water and sewer services to those lots.

Lions donate life-saving equipment for LMH special care nursery Aldergrove Star
The three Lions Clubs in Langley have pooled their contributions, and received a matching grant from the Lions Club International Foundation, to purchase an incubator for the newlyexpanded Level One Nursery at Langley Memorial Hospital. The Langley Lions, the Fort Langley Lions and the Aldergrove Lions combined forces to raise money from a variety of community activities throughout the year. Last June, they applied to the Lions Club International Foundation for a matching grant and recently received the news that their grant application was successful. With the matching grant, and the contributions from the three Lions clubs in Langley, the total donation to the hos-
pital is almost $25,000, which enabled them to purchase an incubator for the nursery. The Level One Nursery needed a variety of specialized equipment, including incubators, to provide high-level care to premature babies born at the hospital. These babies don’t yet have the ability to keep themselves warm so an incubator is used to monitor their body temperature and to heat or cool the air as needed. Incubators also protect premature babies from infection, noise, and light, and can provide humidified air to keep moisture in their delicate skin. New incubators allow physicians and nurses to maintain Langley Memorial Hospital’s commitment to keep mom and baby together during the first hours and days of baby’s life.

Kodiaks defeat Pilots 4-1, advance to second round By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star
An all-out effort and stellar play by the Aldergrove Kodiaks sealed their 4-1 win over the Abbotsford Pilots Monday night in front of a packed Aldergrove Arena. The win gave the Kodiaks a 4-3 record on the first series and they now advance to play the Mission City Outlaws in the second round of the Harold Brittain division. Aldergrove hosts the first two games at Aldergrove Arena, Wednesday and Thursday, March 4-5, 7:15 p.m. Despite being outshot 35-30 by the Pilots, Aldergrove kept the pressure on and were rewarded midway through the first period by a power play goal scored by Cameron Davitt, assisted by Eric Callegari and Aaron Markin. Aldergrove scored three more in the second period to give them a 4-0 lead going into the third. Scorers
were Spencer McHaffie from Scott McHaffie on a power play, Affiliate Davin Padgham from Davitt and Markin, and Scott McHaffie from Quinncy Leroux and Spencer McHaffie. The Pilots stepped up the pressure in the third period but were only able to notch one, scored by Kolten Grieve, from Colton Cowden. Stars of the night were Scott McHaffie, Leroux and Padgham. Ben Giesbrecht was Aldergrove’s net minder that night, stopping 34 of 35 shots. In the Tom Shaw division, the Grandview Steelers also sealed their move into the next round, after defeating Richmond Sockeyes in seven games. The Steelers will play North Vancouver Wolf Pack in their next round, also starting this week. PILOTS EVEN UP SERIES The Aldergrove Kodiaks were down to the wire in their best-of-

Davitt scored in the first period in the Kodiaks’ 4-1 win over the Pilots that night. seven series versus the Abbotsford Pilots. The Kodiaks had a disappointing outcome on Friday night at MSA Arena, as the Pilots took the lead in the first period and held onto it in the third for the 6-4 win. The Pilots were up 3-0 in the first, the Kodiaks evened it up to 3-3 in the second, and the Pilots took three more goals in the third before the Kodiaks closed the scoring in the dying minute. Scoring for Aldergrove in the second period were Nolan Wallinger, unassisted, Quinncy Leroux from Eric Wieking and Evan Cusmano from Leroux. Kodiak Matt Oliver scored in the third period, unassisted. All of the Kodiaks’ goals were on the power play except for Wallinger’s. The Pilots outshot the Kodiaks
43-32 that night. KODIAKS FALL TO PILOTS The Aldergrove Kodiaks slipped to a 3-2 lead in the playoffs series against the Abbotsford Pilots Wednesday (Feb. 25) after faltering in the third period and dropping a two point lead. The Pilots rallied in the third to even the score at 3-3 and take the game into overtime. Fifteen seconds into the second overtime the Pilots netted the game winner to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Kodiaks had been up 2-0 at the start of the second period. Brandon Dolby had opened the scoring just 25 seconds into the game, assisted by Quinncy Leroux and captain Aaron Markin. Eric Callegari followed that up 13 minutes later with a
breakaway goal. The Pilots’ Brady Lawlor notched their first goal midway through the second period, but Kodiak Cameron Davitt scored on a breakaway while the Kodiaks were on a penalty kill in the dying minutes of the period, to keep a 3-1 lead over the Pilots. However, Pilots Alexander Methorst and Lawlor scored twice in the third to take the game into overtime. Pilot Mitchell Plevy scored the winner 15 seconds into the second overtime. The Pilots outshot the Kodiaks 46-35 that night and Lawlor was named first star of the game. Kodiak keeper Ben Giesbrecht was second star for his work in keeping 42 of the Pilots’ shots out of his net, and Davitt was named third star.

UFV rowers to host ‘Head of the Fort’ regatta Aldergrove Star
The University of the Fraser Valley rowing club is hosting its seventh annual regatta, Head of the Fort, on the Bedford Channel in Fort Langley this Saturday, March 7, and the public is invited to attend. The 6.5-kilometre racing event has grown over the years to include junior, university and Masters crews, and it is organized by the UFV varsity team rowers. There will be three launches during the regatta – 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. – and the bridge over the Bedford Channel makes for a great viewing area for fans. Cascades head coach Liz Chisholm said her athletes enjoy the thrill of competing at their home venue in front of their home
fans. The field will be comprised of local rowing clubs. “It’s a huge reach-out to the Lower Mainland clubs,” Chisholm said. “Some of the top high school crews have athletes who have been rowing three or four years already, and they’re looking at where they want to go to university. It’s exciting to have them, and we enjoy the competition. Sometimes we beat them and sometimes we don’t. And the distance separates those who train and those who don’t train as hard.” Chisholm added that the UFV rowing club has forged great relationships over the years with the Township of Langley and with local businesses, who are pleased with the crowds that come to cheer on the athletes.
The rowing club is seeking volunteers to help orchestrate the event on the day. They need people to help with parking, timing, coffee and clean-up, and are also looking for motor boat drivers with pleasure craft licenses to be stationed on the course for safety purposes. To volunteer, contact UFV men’s team captain Stephen Wall at stephen.wall@student.ufv.ca “As hosts of Head of the Fort, it requires a lot of time and hard work from the team to make it happen,” Wall said. “But once race day comes, all that work will pay off as this is one of the more fun races to compete in if you’re an athlete and one of the best to watch if you’re a spectator. It also allows anyone who volunteers to gain a greater understanding of rowing as a sport and how a regatta is run.”
side hitter for the team led the Cascades in total offence (3.02 points per set), which was good for 15th in the conference. He was also second on the team in aces per set (0.41) which was 10th in the conference. “He’s had a really good year,” UFV men’s head
coach Kyle Donen said of Kleingeltink. “Earlier on in the season, teams started to realize they needed to key on him. He made himself a threat, and it forced a lot of teams to account for him on defence. That’s been an adjustment for him, and he’s done a good job with it.”

Slipping and sliding safely in snow and ice
2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS
2015 HYUNDAI GENESIS
ALEXANDRA STRAUB
Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec – Certain car brands are synonymous with certain traits. Say the word “performance,” and you’ll likely get a group of people talking about German engineering. Say the word, “safety,” and chances are a certain Swedish automaker will be at the top of the list. What brands come to mind when you think of an all-wheel drive system? – I’m guessing Japanese, also German but how about Korean? Okay, Hyundai is not the first automaker to come to mind when it comes to their AWD technology. It probably isn’t the second or even third. That said, they’re on a mission to change peoples’ minds.
tain to prove its capabilities. A closed course was set up with more than enough ice underneath to make things very interesting. We’d put both the Genesis sedan and Santa Fe XL Crossover to the test. Let the slipping and sliding commence. Part of winter driving, especially in these blizzard conditions, is largely about the tires. No matter how good an AWD system controls the torque split between the front and rear axles, if you don’t have grip, well, then it can get really interesting. Like, Santa Fe XL meet the snow bank. Snow bank meet the Santa Fe XL. Luckily, this wasn’t the case.
by Alexandra Straub
Hyundai offers two distinct types of AWD systems. One is used with platforms designed for front-wheel drive systems to enhance traction while maintaining fuel efficiency; the second is for rear-wheel drive based platforms and is programmed to increase performance while maintaining control and drivability in slippery road conditions. I had the chance to test both them out in extreme winter conditions and Baie-Saint-Paul, Quebec, certainly delivered on that promise! – I’m not entirely sure how much snow fell in the time my driving partner and I left the hotel for our morning exercises at Le Massif de Charlevoix ski area, but it seemed like 30 centimeters or more. No, we didn’t shuttle people up and down the moun-

efficiency. For example, with the vehicle set in “Normal” mode, HTRAC defaults to a 40:60 rear-wheel biased torque distribution. The system can shift as much as 90 percent of engine output to the front axle in slippery conditions or 100 percent to the rear at higher speeds for reduced drive line drag and improved fuel economy. At speed in “Sport” mode, HTRAC gives Genesis a distinctly rear-wheel drive character by sending 80 to 90 percent of power output to the rear wheels. The latter part of the drive day was in the comfort of the Santa Fe XL (XL meaning it has a longer wheelbase, room for up to seven passengers and comes with a V6 engine.)
Each vehicle had its own play area. The Genesis sedans played more on a skating rink-like surface while the Santa FEs romped in the snow. However, the icier surface was soon heavily covered in snow and visibility became quite grim. The activities were cut short but our drive route wasn’t.
The AWD system in Santa Fe models incorporates Active Cornering Control (ACC), an element within the Vehicle Stability Management (VSM) system, which helps the vehicle manage acceleration in a corner. To improve traction and cornering performance, braking force is applied to the inside rear wheel when accelerating through a turn.
The HTRAC (which stands for Hyundai TRACtion) all-wheel drive system of the Genesis did work at getting us out of some sliding situations. As a bonus for 2015, the Genesis sedans come standard with all-wheel drive. So, if you happen to find yourself stuck in a snowstorm, you need not panic.
Regardless of which vehicle we endured the storm, it’s certain that Hyundai has a good thing going on. And even if you never find yourself in the belly of a blizzard, the piece of mind is still with you every time you get behind the wheel of these vehicles.
HTRAC also has some cool features associated with it. The AWD control logic is different according to driving mode selection for enhanced drivability and

Your philosophical thought, humor and wit is amazing You have uplifted many!
Elzear passed away peacefully with the constant support of his loving family and friends. His wife of 68 years, Blanche Ratelle (nee Denommee) passed away July 30 2012. Their physical experience together was one of ‘great magnitude’ and now they are connected spiritually, bonded as the ‘soul mates’ they truly are. He will be sadly missed by his children: Aurel, Jeanne, Susan, Jacqueline, Victor, Rita, Donald and his son-in-law and very good friend Craig Warren. His daughter-in-laws, son-inlaws, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and great-great grandchildren, share the loss of such a wonderful loving influence in their lives. His amazing sense of humor, generosity and acceptance of all who passed through his life was greatly welcomed by all whose lives he touched. Elzear has many sisters and brothers and leaves behind his sisters, Augemie, Theresa and his brother Lucien. Elzear always rose to the challenge of any endeavor. His philosophy and common sense combined with a unique insight was truly a gift to be admired! Physically you are not with us Dad but your spiritual energy will always ‘soar above us’. We love you and you will always be in our ‘hearts and minds’. His celebration of life will be held at Brookswood Baptist Church, 20581- 36th Ave. Langley, BC on Saturday March 14th at 11:00 a.m.
