Students go public in fight for crosswalk, UFV transit bus By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

HARRY HUNT PHOTO

Aldergrove Secondary’s students are petitioning for a marked crosswalk in front of the school on 29 Avenue. They are also seeking introduction of a regular transit bus between Aldergrove and the University of Fraser Valley’s Abbotsford campus.

A group of students at Aldergrove Secondary School are taking “leadership” on transportation and safety issues near and dear to their hearts. The Leadership Team is a new class this year at Aldergrove Secondary and they have put their efforts into two initiatives — installation of a marked crosswalk and inauguration of a direct bus from Aldergrove to the University of Fraser Valley campus in Abbotsford. Teacher Lara Petrie says the lack of a crosswalk has been an issue for at least 15 years. The Township of Langley has been studying the issue and performed traffic survey counts in recent years. The cost to install the crosswalk is estimated at $20,000. “The students have collecting petitions for a month or so and have collected 350 signatures in support,” says Petrie, adding that TransLink is supportive of Aldergrove students’ efforts on both this and the UFV connector bus issues. The students have also put the 29 Avenue crosswalk survey on-line and are hoping that local residents will provide their feedback before the May 10 deadline. The survey takes a couple minutes to complete and can be accessed at www.surveymonkey.com/s/5FWYDNL — and public support

is very much appreciated, says Petrie. The Leadership students at Aldergrove Secondary will present their request to TransLink and the Township to put in a crosswalk on 29 Avenue in Aldergrove for Aldergrove and Betty Gilbert students on May 14. The Leadership students at Aldergrove Secondary are also presenting an initiative to TransLink to assess the community demand and need for a commuter bus to go directly from Aldergrove Secondary to UFV. Petrie notes that between 50 and 60 per cent of Aldergrove Secondary graduates go on to attend UFV, due to the wide choice of programs offered at the one campus. Only about five per deny of Aldergrove students attend Kwantlen, as its programs are spread over three campuses. However, it’s almost a two hour commute, with two transfers, to UFV from Aldergrove but TransLink has said a direct bus would be considered if the demand can be shown. Those in the community who want a bus from Aldergrove directly to University of the Fraser Valley are invited to fill out the survey at: www.surveymonkey.com/s/KR9LS52 The school and general public feedback on both issues will be presented on May 14 to TransLink and Langley Township for their consideration.

Fire rescuers ‘amazing’ By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

A long-time Aldergrove family and their pets are alive because of “totally amazing people” who rushed in to a smoldering home to help them escape. That’s what Dan Armstrong said after neighbors and passersby alerted him and his family to the fire in their home on Saturday morning. Their older home on 29 Avenue was destroyed in the fire, despite the best efforts of crews with six trucks from Fire Halls #3 and #7. In a thank you letter to The Aldergrove

Aldergrove fire fighters battled a house fire on Saturday, April 27 on 29 Avenue. The older home was destroyed but thanks to passersby the family and their pets were alerted in time to escape safely.

Star, Dan Armstrong said “…while the house was burning people stopped their cars to run to the house to warn us, as well as neighbours. Banging on doors and screaming, ‘Fire, get out of the house,’ and then three complete strangers ran into a burning house to help my daughter recover her cats from the house. “On behalf of myself, my wife, daughter and her husband, I would like to thank them all for their heroic efforts,” said Armstrong. The family is staying in a nearby motel for the time being, while investigators and insurers sort out the situation.

The car was impounded for seven days, and the young driver was issued a $483 ticket for excessive speed and a $276 fine for no driver’s licence. “The alternative could have been much worse,” McDonald said.

‘Living wage’ pegged at $16.37/hour in Valley By VIKKI HOPES Aldergrove Star

A local group says a Fraser Valley family of four needs both parents to be working fulltime and each earning a minimum hourly wage of $16.37 in order to obtain basic needs and escape “severe financial stress.” Living Wage Fraser Valley (LWFV), hosted by Vibrant Abbotsford, has calculated the “living wage” for the area from Aldergrove to Hope/Boston Bar. The figure was released this week. A living wage is calculated based on a budget for a healthy family of four with two children aged four and seven, and each parent working 35 hours a week for 52 weeks a year.

It takes into account basic expenses such as food, housing, childcare, clothing and transportation once government taxes, credits, deductions and subsidies have been factored in. The living wage does not consider home ownership, debt, holidays, saving for retirement or a child’s education, or caring for a disabled, ill or elderly family member. LWFV coordinator Allison Homer admits that the budget is “bare-bones.” She said it brings attention to the plight of many families who are trying to survive on less than that, such as minimum wage, which starts at $10.25 in B.C. She said 43 per cent of children living in poverty come

from families where at least one adult has a full-time job. “And a lot of families are just one paycheque away from living in poverty,” Homer added. She said employees who earn a living wage tend to stay longer at their jobs – saving hiring and training costs for their employers – and experience less stress and illness, reducing absenteeism from work. Homer said many employers might be scared off by the $16.37 figure, but, if they are paying benefits, that is factored in. Ross Siemens, owner of Hub Motors in Abbotsford, is a big supporter of a living wage, particularly for local businesses like his that pride themselves

on quality work and customer service. “I think most small businesses I know of … are paying a living wage already. We see the value of keeping long-term employees,” he said. Siemens said that paying a living wage isn’t appropriate for every sector – such as fast food restaurants with high student turn-over – but it can help retain good employees, which encourages people to return to those businesses, benefiting the local economy. But Allan Asaph, executive director of the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce, said many small busineses cannot afford to pay that kind of wage. “Those businesses operate

on a very tight profit margin. The wages they are able to pay are a direct reflection of the profitability of the business.” Asaph said the consumer could be affected, with businesses having to raise the cost of their products and services in order to pay a higher remuneration to their employees. LWFV is part of the Living Wage for Families’ Employer Recognition Process, which certifies employers who are paying a living wage. The organization meets regularly to discuss ways of increasing community awareness, influencing local policy and recognizing employers. For more information, visit vibrantabbotsford.ca

Young music students join ‘song into Outer Space’ By KURT LANGMANN Aldergrove Star

Aldergrove students will “fill the skies with music” this “Music Monday” in celebration of music programs in schools. Kim Hardy, the music teacher at Parkside Centennial Elementary, says the entire school cohort will

sing together on this year’s theme song, co-written by astronaut Chris Hadfield and Barenaked Ladies frontman Ed Robertson (see and hear the on-line version at http://www.musicmonday.ca/). “The kids love the song,” says Hardy, who hopes the weather will allow the students to perform out-

doors on the school playground. Students’ families and residents are welcome to attend the outdoor concert. Hardy adds that there will be a variety of other songs performed by student ensembles, including a Schubert piece by the school choir, a spiritual by the kindergarten class

and other favourites. Hardy, who has been teaching music at Parkside for 20 years now, says her program is primarily vocalbased. It has been expanding recently, thanks to a $3,000 grant from the school’s Parents’ Advisory Council that helped buy a number of ukuleles and recorders, along with sheet

music. “The students will show off everything — each student in kindergarten to grade 3 will sing a song, grades 4 and 5 will perform on recorders and grade 5s will play ukuleles. And the choir is made up of 53 kids from grades 4 and 5.”

The weather was wet but dispositions were sunny as the community came out to clean up local neighbourhoods. The second annual Clean Up Langley Day was held by the Township of Langley’s Adopt-AProgram on Saturday, April 27 and dozens of groups and volunteers hit the streets to remove more than a thousand kilograms of garbage. In total, over one tonne of garbage was cleared from roadways, parks, trails, and streams, along with numerous large items including concrete blocks, rebar, mattresses, propane tanks, an old barbecue, cans of paint, rusty barrels, and eight tires. “We were very pleased with the number of volunteers who came out to clean up the community despite the downpour,” said organizer Tess White, a solid waste coordinator with the Township. “We had

Crash witnesses sought Aldergrove Star

Langley RCMP are looking for witnesses to a serious three-car collision that may have been caused by a drunk driver on the night of Wednesday, April 24. Around 8:30 p.m., the driver of a white Ford flat deck was travelling south on 248 Street near Saddlehorn Crescent. Witnesses told police the flat deck, driven by a 35-year-old Langley man, swerved into the oncoming lane where a 19-year-old driver of a northbound Mazda attempted to move out of harm’s way, said police. The Mazda still clipped the flat deck truck, causing that Mazda to roll into a deep embankment. A 32-year-old woman with her young son in the back seat, travelling behind the Mazda in a Dodge Neon, was unable to avoid the head-on collision. She was transported to hospital by Air Ambulance, and suffered a severe cut to her ankle. Her son was unharmed.

When emergency crews arrived on the scene, the woman was being helped by civilians, said police. The white flat deck truck was partially in the ditch with the driver lying nearby on the ground. He was also being tended to. The teen driver whose vehicle rolled down an embankment sustained minor injuries. The Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstruction Service investigated the scene and mechanical inspections will be completed on all three vehicles. Police obtained blood samples that will be analyzed for alcohol content and charges could be recommended to Crown counsel once the results are returned. Police would like to speak to anyone who witnessed the collision or the driving pattern of the Ford flat deck truck prior to the collision. Specifically, police are looking for an individual who assisted the suspect as he exited his truck. Call Langley RCMP at 604-532-3200.

Thieves target valuables left in cars at parks Aldergrove Star

Although thefts from vehicles are down so far this year compared to 2012, the Abbotsford Police Department is warning the public about some recent incidents at public parks. Const. Ian MacDonald said the thefts are occurring after people who are heading out for walks stash

their valuables in their vehicles. MacDonald said it appears that certain individuals are watching for such activity and then break into the vehicles to steal the concealed items. The stolen goods have included purses and electronics. MacDonald said people have the right idea in trying to hide their

VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix has finally rolled out his “fully costed” election platform. Major policy announcements had been released previously, but there was plenty more spending added to the total. The NDP’s health care plan is surprisingly modest – more money for home support, residential senior care, mental health and addiction services and a rural acute care initiative totaling $159 million over three years. As health critic Mike Farnworth points out, the residential care increase will allow seniors two baths a week instead of one. Full marks to the NDP for this part of the platform. Increases to Community Living B.C., children and families programs and aboriginal friendship centres are also commendable. Other NDP proposals don’t inspire as much confidence. Raise welfare rates $20 a month and index them to inflation. Index the minimum wage to inflation too, at a time when inflation can only rise. Set up a new child bonus program to send $70 per month for each child with family income under $25,000. Lesser payments would go to families with income up to $66,000. This ’70s-style family allowance scheme is based on a “child poverty” claim that

NDP plan: borrow and spend

misrepresents federal statistics of relative income distribution. The program is optimistically budgeted at $210 million a year. Dix insists it isn’t a “big new social program,” which makes me wonder what would qualify. It would be partly funded by cancelling a B.C. Liberal plan to establish education savings accounts for kids born after 2006. Out with self-reliance, in with the nanny state. Another $100 million is added to hire more teachers, to address the teachers’ union’s often-repeated but false claim of “a decade of cuts” in education. Another $100 million goes to student grants, much of it further subsidizing the oversupply of English, education, sociology, women’s studies, journalism and other university grads who eventually discover there is little demand for their degrees. As with welfare, increasing support for bad choices can only yield more bad choices. On a related note, the NDP will revive a ministry of women’s equality, “to promote social and economic equality to all government programs....” As with female candidate quotas, the NDP keeps the flame of ’70s socialist feminism alive. The party totals up its new program spending to $988 million over three years. That’s exactly the amount Dix estimates will be raised by tax hikes on corporate income,

bank capital, personal income over $150,000, carbon tax on oil and gas drilling, and cancelling the B.C. Liberals’ RESP and child tax credit plans. As for deficits, the NDP claims that the B.C. Liberal budget hides a deficit of $800 million this year and similar deficits in the next two years. The B.C. Liberals point to an impressive string of “net zero” wage settlements with public sector unions, the core of their spending control record. Would the NDP continue to hold the line on public service wages, as the B.C. Liberals have done? Dix’s NDP caucus and staff is stocked with former government union officials. Party president Moe Sihota is essentially a direct employee of the same unions. The B.C. Federation of Labour has shaped the NDP’s Labour Code changes, which we won’t see until after the May 14 vote. And how much money does the “fully costed” NDP plan set aside to pay wage increases for its government union brothers and sisters? Zero. Since this is the party that appears to be cruising to victory in the May 14 election, I’ll look at what’s not in their platform and other issues next week.

Having a secondary suite in the Township of Langley will now cost money, but council is trying to soften the blow by giving home owners a break for the first few years. At the April 8 afternoon meeting, council unanimously passed a bylaw that will see existing owners of secondary suites have the license fee of $350 cut in half for a period of three years. This cut in fees only applies to property owners who have obtained proper building permits prior to March 4. If permits pertaining to secondary suite were obtained after March 4, they won’t qualify for the discount, said the Township. The tax break also is void if the property changes hands. For home owners to take advantage of this fee reduction they need an application for their secondary suite license by Dec. 31, the Township will wave the 30 per cent utility and water increase until July 2, 2014. Those with family members living in suites would be exempt from utility fees, and only pay an annual fee of $175.

This phase-in of the new costs is a result of frustration expressed by legal suite owners, who feel they are being penalized for being honest, while owners of illegal suites get away scot-free. Council will also consider allowing enforcement officers to incur overtime to proactively look for illegal suites through MLS listings and possible neighbourhood canvassing. “It’s good [councillor] Kim Richter got us to take a second look at this,” said Councillor Bob Long about phasing the new tax in. Township homeowners will have to pay as much as $580 a year under the new secondary suite bylaw if they don’t register their suite by the December deadline. The critics said the 1,000 homeowners who have properly registered their suites will be the first to pay, not the estimated 10,000 to 12,000 owners of illegal secondary suites in the Township. Township staff estimate the suite fee could bring in over $200,000 (after expenses) this year, rising to nearly $700,000 by 2015.

Police issue 65 tickets during ‘Buckle Your Babies’ campaign By VIKKI HOPES Aldergrove Star

The Abbotsford Police Department stopped more than 5,000 vehicles during its recent Buckle Your Babies campaign. Const. Ian MacDonald said approximately 650 car and booster seats were inspected during the two-week campaign, which began April 10, resulting in 65 violation tickets being issued. MacDonald said, during the six checkpoints set up at various times and locations around the city, police were checking to ensure that kids were in the appropriate car seat for their age/weight and that they were properly buckled in. He said there were several cases where, although the

child was buckled in to the seat, the seat wasn’t secured to the car. In other cases, the bottom of the seat was buckled in, but the top wasn’t. In still other situations, no car seat was used at all. MacDonald said Buckle Your Babies was held mainly to educate parents about proper car seat use, with fines reserved for the “more egregious” mistakes. The campaign was precipitated by a 2011 collision in which a three-year-old boy suffered a broken leg. He had been in a car seat at the time, but the seat had not been properly secured in the vehicle. MacDonald said another Buckle Your Babies campaign in Abbotsford will run in late summer or early fall.

Pristine and Vintage Classic

Dial-a-dope appeal goes up in smoke Aldergrove Star

Rick Lewis and his pristine 1931 Ford were among the highlights of the first annual vintage car show at Otter Coop on the weekend. The show was co-hosted by Otter Co-op and the Vintage Car Club of Canada’s Fraser Valley branch.

A 37-year-old man who went by the name “Nasty” and was convicted in 2011 of being the leader of diala-dope operations in Surrey and Langley has had his appeals rejected. Dan MacNeil was convicted in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster on four counts in relation to dial-a-dope operations in Surrey and Langley in 2005 and 2006. Information from his trial said he was known by the name of ‘Nasty,’ drove a Hummer and was accused of running the heroin trade with his brother and numerous others. Police conducted a 15-month long investigation that included wiretaps and undercover operations.

We don’t need a Cadillac version.” Manuel pointed out that if UBC gets financial help with rapid transit before the Fraser Valley does, there are going to be a lot of angry people. “There is 17 cents of gas tax for TransLink and we don’t get anything for it,” said Manuel. But Coleman dug in his heels, saying studies they have done show there isn’t enough population out here to make light rail possible. “Until you have the

ridership you can’t put it in. My response to this is we can get you to SkyTrain in 18 minutes now,” Coleman said. All the candidates were in favour of looking at legalizing marijuana except for Coleman, who called pot a “gateway drug.” He says in talking with law enforcement officials who attend rehab centre discussions, all addicts say they started with alcohol and pot. “Alcohol today cost us more than all drugs combined,” Coleman said.

Living donor hopes to raise awareness of the importance of organ donation By ALEX BUTLER Aldergrove Star

When Katie Powell’s brother Mitch was put on the transplant list for a new liver in 2011, she wanted to find a way to help. He had been suffering from primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) for about five years, an illness that caused scarring on his liver. Without telling her family, Powell – then 23 years old – started going through the tests to find out if she was a match for her brother. She hoped to become a living donor, the liver being the only internal organ that is able to regenerate. When she got the OK from doctors a

few months later, she told her family. “None of them really said anything. My dad was in shock. My mom said it was a lot to think about, having two kids on the operating table.” But for Powell, there was nothing to think about. She donated 60 per cent of her liver to her brother in June of 2012. Though the surgery took a physical toll on her body, Powell and her brother are recovering well. She now volunteers with B.C. Transplant to raise awareness about organ donation, and counsels people who are going through the process of a live liver donation.

Powell said live donation is more rare than organ donation from the deceased. Powell said signing up is “the easiest thing ever,” and can be done online. But she added that many people who registered years ago may no longer be listed as donors, due to changes in driver’s licence registration. She said people can check online to see whether they are still registered to donate, by entering their care card number at www.transplant.bc.ca Powell said she hopes people who would like to donate will register themselves, as the organs from one person can save eight lives. Often, in cases of unexpected death, families are unsure of whether the deceased wished to donate organs. She said registering as a donor can take unnecessary stress off grieving families. “Don’t put it all on your family… I think it’s so important that you make that decision for yourself.” For more information

A quartet of siblings are taking their passion for raising chickens from the backyard to the silver screen. As part of her Otter Flying Feathers 4H club self-directed project this year, Emma Giesbrecht is coordinating a movie fundraiser event for her 4-H club of the movie documentary “Mad City Chickens.” Mad City Chickens is a sometimes serious, sometimes whimsical, look at the people who keep urban chickens in their backyards. From experts and authors to a rescued landfill chicken or an inexperienced family that takes the poultry plunge, it’s a humorous and heartfelt trip through the world of backyard farming. Emma is a 13-year-old homeschooler who joined 4-H four years ago. She joined because a friend invited her. None of her family knew that it would become

Aldergrove Rotary: making life better By LILIANNE FULLER Aldergrove Star

Do you want to make a difference? Do you want to change the world or make your neighbourhood a better place to live? If you do, then check out the Rotary Club of Aldergrove. Members of this Club are making a difference in Aldergrove, in Langley and in communities around the world. The club was chartered in 1991 and has 30 members. Aldergrove Rotarians are proud of their community and it shows. That’s why many of their activities are local. Club members ensure that the street banners along the main street of Aldergrove are well maintained and changed according to the season. The club was instrumental in partnering with the Township of Langley to complete the community picnic shelter and Rotary Field House at Aldergrove Athletic Park. They are part of the Adopt-AStreet Program and every Christmas members put up the festive lights to get Aldergrove ready for the holiday season. This active service club believes in empowering families and in particular it focuses on the communities’ youth. For the past 13 years the club has dedicated over $75,000 to support youth literacy. The club has helped sustain a num-

ber of programs directed at elementary school students in need of a hand up. This year, for example three students are being sponsored to attend a literacy camp at Betty Gilbert Elementary School. To support youth leadership and education the club provides major scholarships to students graduating from Aldergrove Community Senior Secondary and D.W. Poppy Secondary School. The club also sends students to Ottawa every year to attend the Adventures in Citizenship Program. To help youth at risk, the club has partnered with the Aldergrove Neighborhood Services Society to establish the 272 Youth Homelessness Initiative. Building 272 is a place for young people to hang out in a safe and supportive environment. In addition, club members know that hunger impacts a child’s ability to learn, so they have assisted financially with the breakfast program at Shortreed Elementary School. This year, Rotary International’s theme is Peace Through Service. To embody this theme the club is focusing on a wide variety of service projects in the community and around the world. “As local Rotarians we work through the worldwide Rotary movement to change lives and we

make the world a better place through our volunteer service and efforts.” said Charlie Fox, the club’s president. Internationally, for the past 12 years the club has been instrumental in bringing water well systems, latrines and smokeless stoves to remote areas of Nepal. Every year the proceeds from the annual golf tournament go directly to this cause and this spring two club members will visit Nepal to see firsthand the work made possible because of the club’s support. The Rotary Club of Aldergrove regularly partners with the other three Rotary clubs in Langley to help improve health care in Zimbabwe and club member Katy Lowen and her family went to Zimbabwe to visit the people whose lives were made better by this project. The Rotary Club of Aldergrove celebrates excellence in business and annually recognizes a person or business who exemplifies excellence and the ideals of Rotary. This year a Vocational Award was presented to the Vancouver Game Farm General Manager, Jody Henderson. The Rotary Club of Aldergrove has raised and distributed over half a million dollars and the members have fun doing it. Fellowship and camaraderie are important values to Rotary Clubs.

29th Avenue Crosswalk Survey The Leadership Students at Aldergrove Secondary are presenting an initiative to Translink and the city to put in a crosswalk on 29th Avenue in Aldergrove for Aldergrove Secondary and Betty Gilbert Students.

Above, Chris Duffin (left) of the University of the Fraser Valley was presented with $4,695, raised at two Moroccan dinners hosted by Rotarian Maureen Robinson for the Heather Mcmullan student scholarship for a qualifying student in the School of Social work. Duffin received the cheque from Rotarians Maureen Robinson and Rick McMullan. Below, Rotary President Charlie Fox presented $500 for the purchase of equipment for use at the 2013 B.C. Special Olympics in Langley to BCSO volunteer coordinator Denni Bonetti.

“Making the community and the world a better place strengthens friendships and builds relationships. Rotary is a service club whose business is mankind and whose product is service. Being a Rotarian is an opportunity to make a difference. Consider joining us.” said president Charlie Fox. “Absolutely” added

The team, including Amy Whitton of Aldergrove, posted a score of 73.817 with their routine “Mayan Calendar.” The winning routine was choreographed by BC Aquasonics head coach Susan Kemper, ChPC (Langley) who has an international reputation for her innovative routines and bringing the best out in her athletes. “Every member of the team brought their best to the pool tonight,” says Kemper of the eight member team. “They gelled as a team at the right time, we believed that we were medal contenders, and we accomplished what we set out to

Steady Eyes on the Ball

Canucks AHL affiliate not coming here — yet By DAN KINVIG Aldergrove Star

HARRY HUNT PHOTO

Aldergrove batter Mike Saulter has his eyes on the ball in peewee A baseball action at Aldergrove Athletic Park, Thursday, April 26.

The Vancouver Canucks will not be stationing their AHL affiliate in Abbotsford – at least not in the immediate future. Abbotsford mayor Bruce Banman told Black Press on Monday that talks between the city and the NHL club have reached a stalemate, eliminating any possibility of the Canucks bringing their AHL team to the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre (AESC) in time for the 2013-14 season. “There were time constraints, and at the end of the day, the city is not going to do a deal unless it’s in the best interests of the taxpayers,” Banman said. Reports of an imminent game of AHL franchise musical chairs surfaced last month. The speculation held that the Canucks would purchase the Peoria Rivermen from the St. Louis Blues and move them to Abbotsford; the Calgary Flames would move the Abbotsford Heat to Utica, N.Y.; and the Blues would partner with the Chicago Wolves (whose two-year affiliation agreement with the Canucks expires at the end of this season). When the Canucks confirmed on April 1 that they’d purchased the Rivermen – the first domino to fall, it seemed – the rumour mill shifted into overdrive. But the city and the Canucks were unable to agree, and Banman said he was “naturally disappointed” a deal didn’t come together.

Banman declined to delve into specifics of negotiations with the Canucks, but said they did not request a supply fee agreement similar to the one that the Heat have with the city. The Heat have completed the fourth year of that 10-year contract, which guarantees the team a $5.7 million break-even budget. Attendance issues have compelled the city to cover shortfalls totalling $3.58 million to date ($450,000 in 2009-10, $1.37 million in 2010-11, and $1.76 million in 2011-12). The final numbers for 2012-13 won’t be known until the fall. Both of the parties which run the Heat – the Flames, who own the team and handle the hockey operations, and Fraser Valley Sports and Entertainment (FVSE), which manages the business side – were willing to step aside and make room for the Canucks. That’s according to FVSE’s Lane Sweeting, who said his group gave the City of Abbotsford and the Canucks “the opportunity to make a deal.” “Our goal is to have a successful American Hockey League team in Abbotsford,” Sweeting explained. “It doesn’t matter whether we own it or whether the Flames own it or the Canucks own it. “We would like to see the American Hockey League stay here, we would like to see the fans support it, and we would like to see that the city isn’t cutting subsidy cheques. That’s a long-term business cycle for us, and it probably

would have been a shorter business cycle if the Canucks had successfully negotiated a new lease (in Abbotsford).” The Canucks declined interview requests on the topic, but did issue a general statement. “The purchase of the Peoria Rivermen franchise allows Canucks Sports & Entertainment to assume full control of their minor league development program. No determination has been made relative to the operation of the franchise for the 2013-14 season and at this time no further details will be disclosed.” In order to facilitate an Abbotsford/Canucks deal, Sweeting said the Heat asked the AHL for extensions on deadlines pertaining to scheduling for the 2013-14 season. Sweeting expressed surprise that a deal wasn’t reached, though he pointed out he wasn’t privy to any details of those negotiations. “From my perspective, I thought it was an easy thing to do, because both parties were interested in having it done,” he said. “I think the Canucks were interested in having their development team 65 kilometres away, and I think the city was interested in having a lease without a supply fee. Why or how it didn’t get done, I don’t know. Asked if he anticipated any negative feedback from taxpayers and hockey fans alike that the city was unable to strike a deal with the Canucks, Banman left the door open for future negotiations.
