EVENING AND WEEKEND crossings of the Golden Ears Bridge will be a bargain for six weeks as TransLink tweaks its toll structure.

Instead of paying $2.80 per crossing, motorists with transponders only will pay $1.95 if they make the crossing aft er 7 p.m. Friday, as well as Saturdays and Sundays.

Th e discount rate also applies weeknights from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.Th e goal is to see if lower rates can persuade motorists to rejig

their schedules, something that could be useful in future tolling projects and to see if it can attract people who would normally use the Port Mann Bridge.

TransLink also is trying to boost use of the bridge as the number of crossings falls below expectations. Average daily use is about

25,000, whereas projections from 2004 called for between 30,000 and 40,000 crossings every day.

TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said the eff ects of the 2008 recession, which reduced commercial hauling across the bridge, and lower-than-expected new development on the north side of the Fraser River, also cut into bridge numbers.

Tough economic times also aff ects the number of people who jump into their cars and go shopping or out for entertainment.

“People just don’t travel as much when times are tough.”Th e public-private-partnership model under which the bridge

was built calls for TransLink to make yearly payments to the Golden Crossing General Partnership for its construction and operation.

A SURREY SCHOOL closed nearly two years ago will be reopened to help address severe overcrowding at another nearby elementary school.

Th e former East Clayton Elemen-tary, which used to house just kindergarten to Grade 3 students, was closed in 2009 and students relocated to Clayton Elementary, which had Grades 4 to 7.

However, with develop-ment booming in the Clover-dale neigh-bourhood, Hazelgrove Elementary, at 7057 191 St., is now far over-capacity and has 14 porta-bles on site. With continued population growth, the school is expected to have 18 portables by 2012.

“Th e Surrey School District has not received any funding for new schools since 2005, despite our rapidly growing population,” said Mayor Dianne Watts. “We need new schools to be built. We need to get our children out of portables.”

East Clayton is located on vacant city property near 186 Street and 72 Avenue. Th e city will lease the

Cadmanaide calls

Tory strategy ‘stupid’

Facebook used to decry 5-question

limit for PMby Kevin Diakiw

AN ASSISTANT to Surrey-North MP Dona Cadman is embroiled in controversy aft er criticizing the Conservatives for limiting the number of media questions the prime minister answers on the campaign trail.

“Can someone in the war room please save the PM’s image by allowing him to answer more than fi ve questions a day?!?” Tony Phillips, legislative assistant to Cad-man, wrote on his Facebook site last week. Phillips is also listed as Cadman’s communications director on her re-election website.

“When Sun Media starts to attack our AMAZING government, you know stupidity has prevailed amongst communications people,” Phillips wrote on his Facebook page.

Chris Th omas, with Cadman’s campaign, said reports that Phillips is working on the campaign are false.

“He hasn’t left Ottawa,” Th omas said.

However, he is listed under

the “Team” tab on her re-election website, given the title of commu-nications director.

Phillips declined Leader requests for comment this week. However, he told Canadian Press his com-ments were to his friends only.

“I can’t comment on that because that’s a personal Facebook page and being in the political position I’m in, that would not be the best career move for me,” he said in a very brief telephone interview.

“I did (share my opinion) with my 800 (Facebook) friends, of which you are not one of them, so ... I think I have to tighten my security settings again.”

Th e Tories have received criti-cism for limiting the number of questions allowed at Prime Min-ister Stephen Harper’s daily press conferences. National reporters are allowed four questions, while one is reserved for a local reporter.

It was unclear as of press time whether Phillips would be disci-plined for his Facebook post.

Conservative spokesman Ryan Sparrow is reported to have said the party is focused on issues that matter to Canadians, not political strategy.

FIVE TEENAGERS are facing charges of aggra-vated assault aft er a local musician was beaten unconscious on the weekend.

Michael Taylor was busing home from the Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Vancouver Friday night, when police believe he got into a verbal exchange with the teens.

Several racial epithets were used by the youth toward Taylor, who is black. Taylor got off the bus at 74 Avenue and Scott Road, where he was punched and kicked unconscious.

“Th e victim was basically jumped from behind and sustained several punches and kicks to the head,” said RCMP Cpl. Drew

Grainger.Investigators can’t say for sure

that it was motivated by race, “but the N-word was exchanged on the bus,” Grainger said.

Taylor was treated for injuries and has been released from hospital.

Surrey RCMP said it’s unlikely that hate crime charges would be pursued.

“On the surface it doesn’t look like a hate crime,” Grainger said. “And the victim himself, I understand, is coming forth saying he doesn’t believe this

was motivated by race.”For hate crime to be consid-

ered, race would have had to be considered a primary motive in the attack.

Police are likely going to rec-ommend charges of aggravated assault, however, as of Monday, the recommendations hadn’t been forwarded to Crown.

Th e three males and two females, all between 14 and 18 years old, are from Surrey. Th ree of them are believed to be from the same family.

IT WOULD COST up to $3.2 billion to build an underground Canada Line-style rapid transit extension to UBC beneath the congested Broad-way corridor.

Th at’s the priciest of several options TransLink has unveiled for public consultation.

Like the Surrey rapid transit study also underway, it lays out various confi gurations of SkyTrain-like rail rapid transit, street-level light rail or Bus Rapid Tran-sit (BRT) for the 13-kilometre route to Point Grey.

Light rail is estimated at $1.1 to $1.4 billion, while BRT comes in at $350 to $450 million.

TransLink says costlier underground rail rapid transit would carry more people and deliver shorter travel times – as little as 20 minutes from Commer-cial Drive via underground SkyTrain compared to 26 minutes for light rail and 33 minutes for BRT.

Some route options connect via SkyTrain’s Broad-way and VCC-Clark stations and Canada Line’s Broadway-City Hall station, while others add or substitute Main Street-Science World and Olympic Village.

Th ere are also hybrid scenarios, like extending SkyTrain underground from VCC-Clark to Arbutus, where it would connect with a light rail line running from Main Street-Science World to UBC. Price: $2.4 bil-lion.

Th e numbers come as TransLink hunts for a way to pay its promised

$400-million share of the $1.4 billion Evergreen Line to Coquitlam – the region’s top priority.

“Th ere isn’t any commitment to build anything, of course, because they haven’t got any money,” noted retired transportation economist Stephen Rees.

He predicts much will depend on what the provincial government wants built and what the outcome is of talks between Victoria and

Metro Vancouver mayors on new funding sources for TransLink.

Rees said a costly Canada Line-style tunnel all the way to UBC would be the “worst of both worlds” if it wasn’t matched up with new high rise towers around stations, something he noted has been fi ercely resisted in most Vancouver neighbourhoods outside downtown.

Street-level options like BRT or light rail would likely mean eliminating some parking along Broadway.

Th e Surrey expansion options could see lines run from the existing SkyTrain terminus to Langley City, potentially via Guildford, as well as south along King George Highway or 152 Street to White Rock.

TransLink hasn’t yet released cost estimates and detailed evaluations of the Surrey options, but spokesman Ken Hardie said that should happen by the end of the year, bringing both parallel studies to the same stage.

“It’s a matter of staff resources for these processes, which are quite intensive,” he said.

by Kevin Diakiw

THE OWNER OF a North Surrey grain loading facility was told not to fi ll in a ditch, the city says. Nonethe-less, Amrik Sangha dumped about 500 truck loads of dirt into a critical drainage ditch in Bridgeview.

Sangha appeared before city council Monday accompanied by an engineer and a lawyer in a rare quasi-judicial meeting of council where legal mat-ters are hashed out.

Sangha, owner of Gurcharan Enterprises Ltd., at 11678 130 St. in Bridgeview unlawfully fi lled a criti-cal drainage ditch in the wetland area.

“Th e owner had made requests to city staff in the past, most recently in 2009, to be allowed to fi ll the canal and had been denied,” a staff report to council states.

However, Sangha contends the city knew well of the fi ll, even saying he was doing a good job.

Mayor Dianne Watts asked Sangha if he had emails or correspondence to support that claim.

He said he does and is prepared to produce them.Sangha said he was compelled to do something

about the ditch because of a rat problem. Th e Cana-dian Food Inspection Agency, he said, applauded

his eff ort.Arguments through the aft ernoon Monday

included claims by Sangha’s engineer that the fi lled ditch, which now includes a pipe to allow for water fl ow, is more than adequate for drainage in the area.

His lawyer told council the city is in default of its responsibility to Sangha to ensure the ditch was in good repair. He also pointed to the 1923 agreement for the statutory right of way, which allows for cov-ering for the purposes of train tracks if necessary.

Th e city’s lawyer countered that the issue has less to do with the right of way than council’s authority under the Community Charter to insist remedial measures if someone damages a ditch.

Surrey’s engineers said the compromised ditch could fail if it was hit with a heavy rainfall.

Given only an hour, council was unable to com-plete discussions on the issue, and deferred it until April 18.

Watts told Sangha to bring with him any cor-respondence that proves his claim that he had approval from city staff .

Sangha said aft er the meeting it cost him $1 mil-lion to fi ll the ditch, and expects it to cost another $500,000 to fi x it the way the city wants.

fi ve-classroom East Clayton build-ing and the surrounding land to the school district from now until June 2013, using it as an annex to Hazelgrove.

“Our board has recognized the need for a new elementary school in the East Clayton area of Clover-

dale for some time and it contin-ues to be at the top of our board’s fi ve-year capital plan submission to the Ministry of Education,” said Surrey Board of Education chair Laurae McNally. “Reusing the former East Clayton school space with the assistance of the City of Surrey is another example of how our board is doing its best to

manage our district’s growth while faced with a lack of new school funding.”

A decision will be made within the next few weeks regarding the classes that will be located at East Clayton Elementary, which will be known as Hazelgrove Annex for the duration of its use.

Wednesday, April 6, 2011 Surrey/North Delta Leader 5

Metro Vancouver has made the Surrey expansion a higher priority than the Broadway line, because of its potential to benefi cially shape land use as the population grows rapidly South of the Fraser.

TransLink hasn’t determined when or in which order the two projects should proceed.

Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said he’s not concerned TransLink’s review of the UBC line is at a more advanced stage than the Surrey-area expansion study, which got underway fi rst.

He said regional leaders have agreed the Ever-green Line comes fi rst, followed by South of the Fraser and then UBC.

“We’re not pitting Vancouver against South of the Fraser,” Fassbender said.

“You can make an argument of which one should come fi rst, but you have to have the business case for all of them and then make a decision based on that on where the funding is going to come from.”

Th e region needs to be ready to proceed with both projects because gas prices will likely rise in future years, driving up demand for transit, said North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton, who chairs the mayors’ council that controls Trans-Link funding.

“Ultimately, there’s going to be more people wanting to use the system,” he said.

Mayors hope to get a better idea of the province’s stance on fi nancing when they meet behind closed doors Th ursday with new transportation minister Blair Lekstrom.

GEB: Lower fares begin April 15TransLink’s budget calls for

toll revenue to climb to $37.8 million from $30 million in 2010, the bridge’s fi rst full year of operations.

But it will have to pay $71 mil-lion this year for debt servicing and contractor payments. Hardie said previously that TransLink can absorb the $30-million-plus shortfall and said the variable tolling is one of the strategies expected to increase use and prevent having to cut other programs to make the bridge payments.

Rising gasoline prices and the opening of the new Port Mann Bridge in 2012, which also will have tolls, are also expected to increase use.

Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin admits, “I thought it (the bridge) would have had a more immediate impact.”

Some people are still using the

Port Mann to get to Surrey and are driving 40 to 50 minutes to do that, he added.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson has her concerns.

“I question the numbers and the amount of expenditures that they made and the number of people using it. I think we do have to look at the numbers now that it’s completed.

“It is troubling that people weren’t using it at a very high rate over this period of time.”

She said she still supports in principle transportation projects, such as the Evergreen SkyTrain line in the northeast sector, (Maple Ridge to Port Moody) but said the growth is on the south side of the Fraser River.

She wants Lower Mainland mayors to consider light rail on lines already existing in the Fraser Valley that could connect Chilliwack to Surrey, but said nobody seems to want to talk about it.

Road networks are already

in place for such a system, she pointed out.

“I think it really does bear much more analysis by the mayors because we’re the ones carrying the can as far as prop-erty tax is concerned. I don’t feel good for the future of the local taxpayer.”

Th e trial period of 30-per-cent discounted fares starts April 15 and includes both Easter and May long weekends. A motorist without a transponder will pay only $2.75 during the off -peak hours, compared to $3.95 during regular hours.

Daykin said he continues to lobby TransLink to fund a study on expanding the West Coast Express service to and from Van-couver beyond its fi ve rush-hour trips each weekday morning and evening.

Local mayors asked for that last year, aft er the Winter Olympics but were rejected by TransLink.

From page 1

While 2011 is shaping up as the year of marathon voting for B.C. residents, few wanted to elect a new federal Parliament this year.

However, the continual confl icts and tensions caused by seven years of minority governments in Ottawa mean that an election is always a possibility.

Th is latest one was precipitated by what appears to most non-politicians to be relatively minor policy diff erences.

Despite the Liberal and NDP campaign bluster, Canada’s government was functioning in stable fashion, and for the great majority of citizens, the so-called transgressions of Prime Minis-ter Stephen Harper and the Conservatives hardly been register-ing on the radar, if at all.

Why the Liberals see this as a good opportunity to try to seize power now is somewhat unclear, yet that is why the country is headed for another unwanted federal election – at a cost of $300 million plus.

Perhaps those facts will push voters to the polls.In the 2009 provincial campaign, just over 50 per cent voted.

Provincial and federal elections are going the way of municipal elections, where few participate and most simply ignore them altogether.

From now until May 2, it will be up to the political parties and local candidates to try and stimulate enough interest so that people show up at the polling booths.

Whether they approve of an election or not, those who are eligible should take the time to vote.

Voting may seem dull, but democracy is a precious thing.Voting in a free and fair election is something that people in

many parts of the world would love to have a chance to do.

– Black Press

It’s the most shopworn cliché of the B.C. Liberal government, one that for years has induced eye-rolling in the legislature press gallery.

Th e dark decade, the dismal decade, the decade of destruction, cabinet ministers have chanted since 2001. Th e 1990s, when investment, jobs and people packed up and headed for the B.C. border in response to the NDP governments of Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark.

As the NDP leadership candidates near the end of their marathon run of debates around the province, the front-runners are fi ghting hard to turn that conventional wisdom around.

Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix makes a statistical case with his usual intensity: B.C.’s economic growth averaged around three per cent per year during the 1990s, and only two per cent during the supposedly prosperous decade of Gordon Campbell.

Th is mainly demonstrates what former premier Bill Bennett observed: B.C. is a small resource economy whose prosperity is largely at the mercy of world markets.

Th ose northeast coal mines that Bennett’s government nurtured are up and running again, with new ones held back only by a lack of port capacity.

All a B.C. government can do is create conditions that help or hinder economic growth. And there is little doubt that NDP governments of the 1990s hindered it, with taxes that caused miners to fl ee, chok-ing forest regulations to appease urban environmentalists, and infantile tantrums aimed at both the Canadian and U.S. governments.

Dix’s Vancouver Island rival John Horgan also wants to take back the 1990s. He claims a list of NDP accomplishments: the Agricultural Land Reserve, B.C. Transit, the Columbia Basin Trust, the B.C. Ambulance Service.

Alas, B.C. Transit is more properly attributed to B.C.’s greatest-ever socialist, W.A.C. Bennett. Th e ALR and ambulance service were hurried projects of the Dave Barrett regime of the early 1970s, and the

ambulance service stands today as a sym-bol of the hazards of unionized govern-ment monopolies.

Th e Columbia Basin Trust was a Harcourt-era accomplishment, and it’s a worthwhile eff ort to share the benefi ts of

the dams on the Columbia River with the region.

But the important question for B.C. voters today is, what would the next NDP govern-ment do? Would there be a Peace Basin Trust along with the Site C dam? Not that I’ve heard of.

Today’s NDP has no coherent energy policy, just pandering to knee-jerk opposition to Site C, recanted opposition to the carbon tax and some neo-Marxist clap-

trap that all power projects are evil unless they’re shackled to a unionized govern-ment monopoly.

Th e NDP candidates’ recent health care debate featured promises to roll back the contracted-out health care support jobs,

reconstructing the small portion of the unionized health monopoly broken up by the Campbell government.

NDP front-runner Mike Farnworth also scorned the “rethermed” hospital food that is part of the desperate eff ort to rein in health care costs. Candidates mused about bringing in fresh local food for hospital patients, which sounds nice but can only add costs.

Th e health care crisis is bad and getting worse. If all the NDP can do is whine about“Tim Hortons medicine” and wave an organic carrot, I suspect Tommy Douglas wouldn’t be impressed.

As this column noted in January, the B.C. NDP constitution remains explicitly opposed to profi t and explicitly in favour of a state-controlled command economy. Harcourt and Carole James both tried to ease the party out of that rut, as Tony Blair did with the UK Labour Party.

Both were dumped. Now the NDP strains to look ahead, but sees only the past.

Government debt threatens qualify of life

IN RESPONSE to the letter writ-ten by Brenda Rapp (“Misplaced priorities,” The Leader, March 30), I would like to state that the work being done by Ashley Fruno is to be commended.

Not many people would show the bravery and courage that she has in going to a country where there is great danger.

Helping any form of life should not be scorned. Anyone of us that has ever loved a pet knows that they become a fam-ily member. Any form of suffer-ing, whether human or animal needs to be addressed.

It may seen trivial to Brenda, but perhaps those animals can be re-united with their human guardians, thus helping to ease their suffering. Her work there, and all over Asia, should be an inspiration to all of us to help however and where ever we can.

Karin Fruno

Animals just as important as people

IT IS very sad that many people in Japan have lost their lives,

loved ones and are without clean water, homes and food. However, I believe that animals are just as important. What makes them less impor-tant then humans? Do they not have feelings?

Japan needs a lot of help right now and it is nice to see that many organizations such as Red Cross are helping out and dona-tions from thousands of gener-ous people are pouring in. But do you think any of this is going to injured or homeless animals?

I am thankful that there is somebody such as Ashley Fruno

who is going to help those who cannot help themselves.

Monisha Jassi, Surrey

Ancient wisdom

IN READING Ms. Brenda Raap’s letter to the editor, the following quotation from Mahatma Gandhi comes to mind: “Th e greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”

I think that says it all.

Liz King, Surrey

THE QUALITY of life the citizens of Canada have enjoyed in the past is most likely going to decline.

We are living beyond our means and on borrowed money. The Canadian government is billions of dollars in debt and is carrying a de cit.

The interest payments alone reduce the nancial freedom Ottawa has to support and sustain essential programs and services.

The Canadian government needs to get its scal house in order. Social programs and social

infrastructure are the glue that keep this country together.

Canada is the envy of the world because it takes care of its citizens. National programs such as the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security and Employment Insurance inject millions into the economy and provide for Canadi-ans when they are in need.

Universal health care and trans-fer payments provide Canadians with a competitive advantage over the Americans which have much more serious and endemic prob-

lems of poverty, poor health care, and racial divisions.

The Canadian government needs to wipe out the debt and de cit to secure our quality of life.

The poor do not have the money to pay suf cient taxes. The work-ing class is already overburdened and overtaxed.

So who’s left? The people who need to voluntarily launch a campaign to rescue Canada’s nances are the banks, billion-

aires, corporate interests and the rich. The Canadian government

can facilitate this rescue package by giving generous tax deductions to anyone who directly donates to wipe out the national debt.

Time to get serious about national money matters. If the rich are making money from doing business in Canada, I am sure they would want to see their invest-ment in good hands with a stable nancially secure and debt-free

federal government at the helm.

I’M SURE MOST people feel like me – elated that spring has fi nally arrived.

However, I’m also dreading the yearly infl ux of unspayed or unneutered cats with no identifi ca-tion into my yard. I’ve already seen at least three.

Th is is a plea to everyone who either owns a cat or fi nds an uninvited feline in their backyard.

Spaying and neutering is a must, and not just because cats are much more likely to stay close to home if they’re not motivated to wander by their hormones.

Th ere is still a serious cat overpopulation problem in B.C. – too many cats, too few homes. In many cities and municipalities it’s the law that any cat over the age of six months be spayed or neutered, and identifi ed with a collar and tag, tattoo and microchip, including Delta, Coquitlam, City of North Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey and Port Moody.

It’s a sad fact that only around seven per cent of lost cats are returned to their homes. Th e tag should have your phone number and address, for a quick and safe return of your pet (the fastest and most stress-free way to get your cat back home).

A tattoo number in the ear will trace your cat to the vet clinic where the tattoo was done, and the clinic will have your contact information, as long as you’ve kept it up to date.

A microchip can be scanned by a vet or animal shelter to a database which will contain your con-tact information.

It’s important to treat your cat just like a dog – you wouldn’t let your dog wander outside unsu-pervised, would you?

Your cat should only be permitted out when supervised and defi nitely not let out at all aft er dark. B.C. is home to many hazards, including coyotes, who tend to hunt between dusk and dawn. You can hardly blame them for taking advantage of a quick and tasty meal if you put it out right under their noses.

And lastly, if you fi nd a cat in your yard, please take responsibility for fi nding his/her home. It’s a

fallacy that cats can survive outside – they can’t, and they’ll soon succumb to starvation, disease or accident.

If you’ve lost or found a cat, the Vancouver Humane Society’s Catfi nd line can off er useful advice: 604-266-1012. Or check the website at www.vancouverhumanesociety.bc.ca/resources/catfi nd/

If you want to do more, a donation to our spay/neuter fund (the McVitie Fund) would be much

appreciated. Th e Vancouver Humane Society spays and neuters hundreds of cats every year, helping people who are on income assistance for whatever reason. We have a number of kind vet-erinarians who provide extremely low-cost spay/neuter, tattoo and vaccinations to the animals we help.

Motorists ‘fl eeced’ by

Liberals

Parking congestion

on city streets

THE PROVINCIAL LIBERALS have done it again, fl eecing the motor-ing public.

They removed $700 million from ICBC last year. This year ICBC warns of signi cant increases in premiums due to the number of large injury payouts last year.

ICBC should have known these payouts were coming. Anyone who has had major injury claims with ICBC knows they are not quick to settle and I would venture to say most of those claims were from years gone by and not necessarily last year’s.

I am so tired of the Liberal government eecing the motoring public with carbon taxes, tolls and proposed tolls and the removal of $700 million of the motoring public’s assets from their premiums in ICBC that they should have on access to.

Tom MarksSurrey

ONE OF THE elements that I was looking forward to with the new secondary suite bylaw was the fact that each suite would need to pro-vide one off -street parking spot.

I thought that would help to ease some of the parking congestion that I see while driving around my neighbourhood.

That is until I realized that it wasn’t so much the renters that werecausing the problems, but the actual owners. So many garages are so crammed full of “stuff” that owners are unable to park in their garages and instead park on the street.

None of that is going to change as a result of the new bylaw, in fact, owners will probably give renters their one extra spot and instead park in the street.

Until something can be done to address the issue of owners parking in the street instead of their garages, we’ll continue to have impossible parking congestion in our streets.

POLICE ARE rolling out new bait trailers equipped with hid-den GPS beacons so officers can track and bust thieves who steal them.

The new tactic aims to cut down the theft of more than 500 trail-ers stolen in B.C. each year.

That theft rate has held steady, while the successful bait car pro-gram is credited with helping dramatically chop auto theft rates by 65 per cent since 2003.

The number of vehi-cles stolen last year fell 22 per cent from 2009. Thefts from within vehicles dropped 15 per cent.

“A host of different types of trailers are now armed with hid-den GPS technology and will be planted throughout British Columbia just wait-ing to be stolen,” said Sgt. Gord Elias of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT).

“They will look just like any other trailer and will come in many makes, models, sizes and colours,” he said.

“We’re going to move them around and change them up wherever they’re needed.”

Elias said stolen trailers, which can range from cargo or utility trailers to recre-ational ones, are often sold privately through ads and via websites.

Manufactured trailers must have a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Elias said, and any buyer who encounters a trailer without one and suspects it’s stolen should contact police.

IMPACT also released a video show-ing the arrest last sum-mer of thieves who stole a bait trailer and truck and were tracked by police helicopter through Langley and Surrey, until they were captured in Clover-dale.

Since the bait car program was launched in 2002, it has expanded to include motorcycles, ATVs, boats and snowmo-biles as well.

IMPACT also issued its annual top 10 wanted list of sus-pected car thieves.

Topping the list is

Xiao Sean Zhang, 25, wanted by Vancouver police on multiple theft and other war-rants. Zhang is accused of finding cars for sale on craigslist and then stealing them during test drives. He was the driver in a 2006 hit-and-run

in downtown Van-couver that killed a vacationing doctor from New Zealand.

Christopher Paul Black, second on the list, is dubbed the “puppy-punching car thief ” because officers spotted him punching a defenseless

dog in the head just before being arrested

in Chilliwack in an SUV stolen from a Coquitlam dealer-ship.

The list included three men wanted by Surrey RCMP: 46-year-old James Harold Mattie, con-sidered violent and

wanted on a Canada-

wide warrant; Mark Adam Forrest, 25, alleged to use stolen cars to commit resi-dential break-ins; and Christopher Henry Horkey, 26, who has now been arrested but was described as a car thief with an appetite for high-end cars like

Jaguars.Michael Allan DeY-

oung, 24, is wanted by New Westminster Police for breach of parole four days after release from federal prison on a robbery conviction. He’s also considered dangerous.

TRANSLINK HOPES you’ll use your Com-pass to get around Metro Vancouver in the future.

Th at’s the name of its planned smart card that will replace all existing passes, tickets and eventually cash for fare payment.

Compass beat out Starfi sh and TPass – other names that had been shortlisted from more than 56,000 sug-gestions.

Th e winner of the naming contest – Burnaby’s Oleksiy Gayda was drawn at random from among dozens who suggested Compass – receives an iPad and one year of free transit once the new smart card debuts in 2013.

TransLink put the three fi nal names to an online vote in January, with Compass getting more than 40 per cent support.

Names like Umbrella, Otter and

George (aft er Captain George Vancouver) had been previ-ously considered but rejected.

Th e winning name is a departure from the use of sea critter moni-kers at other major transit systems – such as London’s Oyster card, Hong Kong’s Octopus card and Seattle’s Orca card.

Th e payment system is to be in operation by 2013, along with turnstiles at SkyTrain and SeaBus stations, at an estimated total cost of $171 million.

Federal and pro-vincial contributions cover $70 million.

Passengers will tag on and tag off the system as they board by bringing their cards close to proximity readers.

Th ey’ll prepay by loading money on their card, which can then act like a day pass, weekly pass or a variety of other fare options.

It’s expected the system will eventually eliminate the current three-zone fare struc-ture, allowing for more accurate distance-based fares.

Cubic Transporta-tion Systems and IBM Canada won the con-tract to build and run the system.

Reaction on social networks was mostly positive.

Daniel Chow called Compass a “nice choice” on Twitter but Byron Fok said he found it a bit plain.

“I think they went with the safest name and logo they could fi nd,” tweeted graphic designer Nick Routley. “Honestly, I’d do the same if I were Trans-Link.”

SFU marketing professor Lindsay Meredith disagreed, predicting Starfi sh would have resonated better with younger transit users.

“Starfi sh is a name that would travel well on networks, on social media,” Meredith said in an interview. “Compass? I’ve got my doubts.”

Value seen in stopping fare cheats, tweaking bus service

Critics of the new smart card and turnstiles system have argued it’s too expensive and that ending open access to SkyTrain stations won’t eliminate fare evasion.

But TransLink has released a summary of its business case for the new system, show-ing it will more than pay for itself over 15 years.

The report projects TransLink will gain $89 million over that period in reduced fare evasion.

The smart card is also expected to pro-duce a bounty of accu-

rate data on how passengers

actually use tran-sit in the region.

That improved informa-tion will help Trans-

Link run the bus system more efficiently – worth an estimated $77 million over 15 years.

New ridership is expected to bring in an extra $35 mil-lion in revenue, in part because sizable numbers of people now refuse to use SkyTrain because they worry about crime and their security on the ungated system. Another $26 mil-lion is attributed to “improved resource utilization.”

It adds up to pro-jected benefits of $227 million over a decade and a half – somewhat more than the antici-pated $205 million in combined capital and operating costs.

Bus service efficien-cies were conserva-tively estimated, the report says, noting those gains could be more than twice as high.

The value of reduced fare evasion is estimated at $7.1 mil-lion per year (in 2011 dollars). That’s more than the $6 million a year that TransLink in the past has estimated it has lost to SkyTrain fare cheats. About 5.6 per cent of riders don’t pay, according to audits.

A SURREY art teacher, a longtime champion for healthy living and a Delta gymnastics proponent are among 36 British Colum-bians named recipients of the eighth annual B.C. Commu-nity Achievement Awards.

Marc Pelech, an art teacher at Sullivan Heights Secondary, joins the three dozen others to receive the award, which celebrates excellence in the arts, humanities, enterprise and community service. Pelech was recognized for not only creating innovative programs to enhance his students’ art experience, but for his work as a community volunteer. He has dedicated thousands of hours to civic arts policy and civic youth-focused arts programs (Spirit of Youth Mural Proj-ect) and emergent website technology (Youth Visions).

Surrey’s Bill Stewart was also among the award recipients. Stewart has been president and CEO of YMCA of Greater Vancouver for 18 years, rejuvenating and increasing

the reach and impact of the organi-zation.

“He has left a legacy that includes a successful capital campaign, a

strategic plan for growth, and the Tong Louie and Robert Lee YMCAs,” reads his recognition.

South Delta’s Carlene Lewall was also honoured for her 30 years of dedica-tion and leadership to the Delta Gymnastics Society and her instrumental role in the building of the Delta Sport Development Centre.

“Each of these people has a remarkable record of enhanc-ing the quality of life of residents

throughout the province,” said Premier Christy Clark in a press release. “And each truly deserves to be singled out and recognized by all British Columbians for their contributions.”

Recipients will be recog-nized in a formal presenta-tion at Government House in Victoria on April 20 and will receive a certifi cate and a medallion designed by

SEAPLANE passengers deserve to have the best chance of surviving a crash.

Th at is the gist of recommendations announced last month by the Transportation Safety Board, which suggests that passengers should be made to wear life-jackets and that all new and existing fl oat planes be fi tted with quick-escape exits in the event of a crash.

Th e recommenda-tions were announced March 17 – nearly 16 months aft er the crash that killed White Rock’s Tom Glenn, former resi-dent Dr. Kerry Telford and six others.

Glenn and Telford – and Telford’s infant daughter – were among eight people onboard a de Havilland Beaver fl oatplane Nov. 29, 2009 when it crashed off Saturna Island shortly aft er takeoff from Lyall Harbour. Th e pilot and Glenn’s wife, Barb, were the only survivors.

According to fi ndings presented by TSB inves-tigator Bill Yearwood, a number of factors contributed to the crash and the six deaths. Th ose included that a light, which typically warns of an impending stall, was not working the day of the crash, giv-ing the pilot little time

to react and recover from an “aerodynamic stall” of the wing (in which the left wing suddenly lost its tilt and dropped); two or four of the aircraft ’s doors were jammed shut; the doors and windows could not be quickly removed; and, none of those onboard were wearing life-jackets.

“Everyone survived the impact, but six of the eight onboard drowned. Th ey never got out of the aircraft ,” Yearwood stated in his presentation. “We’ve seen this before and that is why we focused our investigation on the risk of drowning in fl oatplane accidents. We know the risk is

high and we know it is twofold.”

Safety board chair Wendy Tadros said too oft en, passengers sur-vive the impact of such crashes only to drown because they either can’t get out or have no means of staying afl oat until help arrives.

“Th is is not accept-able,” Tadros said. “More can and must be done to increase the chances of surviving a crash on water. Th at is the thrust of our recommenda-tions.”

According to the report, 76 people – including the six killed in the Lyall Harbour crash – died in 109 commercial fl oat plane crashes in Canada

between 1989 and 2010.Since the Lyall Har-

bour crash, Transport Canada has upgraded its education materials. Tadros described steps taken within the fl oat-plane industry were “even more encourag-ing.” Th ose include the formation of an associa-tion aimed at improving safety on the west coast; the installation by some operators of improved door handles and pop-out windows; and the move by some operators to provide passengers with, and require them to wear, personal fl ota-tion devices.

Transport Canada is expected to respond to the recommendations within 90 days.

A 34-YEAR-OLD Surrey, B.C. woman died in a head-on col-lision with a commercial truck on the Trans-Canada Highway between Revelstoke and Golden on April 2.

Golden RCMP say the three-vehicle incident happened about 35 kilometres west of Golden at about 9 a.m.

Police say the woman was a passenger in a westbound minivan that lost control, crossed the centre line and collided with

an oncoming commercial truck. Aft er impact, the minivan then rebounded into a third vehicle that was also heading westbound.

Two small children were trav-elling in the minivan. One was treated for non life-threatening injuries at Golden General Hospital while the other was reported to be ‘badly shaken” by the incident, RCMP report.

Th e drivers of the minivan and the truck were injured. Th e minivan driver was fl own to Golden hospital with “serious but non-life threatening” injures, said

Golden RCMP spokesperson Cst. G. Burlock.

“Conditions at the time involved extreme winter driving conditions including poor vis-ibility, heavy snowfall and snow and slush-covered roads,” Bur-lock said in a statement. “Causal factors at this time appear to be road conditions, speed and inad-equate tires.”

Surrey woman killed in Trans-Canada collision

Three-vehicle accident near Golden

by Kevin Diakiw

THE MAN who police say shot a Surrey teen-ager on March 25 went back into her home aft erwards and shot himself.

Th e B.C. Coroner’s Service said that Alexander Huynh, 36, died of a self-infl icted gunshot wound to the head.

Huynh was known to family members, so when he arrived at the door of their home, 13-year-old Anna Nguyen let him in.

She said Huynh attacked her and then turned the gun on her.

“I just remember a really loud bang and then how my body was numb,” Anna told CTV News.

Anna grabbed her cellphone and ran from the home in the 15700 block of 90 Avenue. She was found two blocks away, near Woodlands Park Elementary, where she goes to school.

Police then responded to a fi re at the home, where they discovered Huynh’s body.

Anna wasn’t com-fortable telling CTV News why the family friend had shot her, but said the attack was totally unexpected and that Huynh was a friend of her parents who she had no reason to fear.

Th e Surrey RCMP Major Crime Unit is investigating.

THE SURREY Passport Canada offi ce now has a new address. Th e new offi ce is located in the Central City Shopping Centre at 10153 King George Boulevard.

The new office is in a larger

space on the ground floor of the Central City Shopping Centre, two kilometres from the previous location. Easily accessible, the new office fea-tures 23 counters with seating for 120 people – approximately twice as many as the previous

location. Free parking is available

to clients of the Central City Shopping Centre. Accessible by transit, the Central City Shopping Centre is located at the Surrey Central SkyTrain station.

Th eft from cars on the rise

Delta Police are reminding residents to remove all valuables from their vehicles fol-lowing a dramatic spike in theft s from autos.

From March 20 to 29 there were 22 reported theft s from autos in Delta, the same number that would normally be

reported in an entire month.

Ninety-fi ve per cent of those theft s were from unlocked cars.

Const. Shane Parker said most of the theft s have occurred between 1 and 6 a.m. in the Eng-lish Bluff and Stahaken areas.

“Th ese are all crimes of opportunity. Th ey’re simply walking by, try-ing the door handles and then when they get inside they’re looking through and fi nding stuff ,” he said.

Th e most commonly stolen items are wallets,

purses, GPS devices, “things that are quickly pawned for cash.”

Police have arrested one young off ender who will be charged, Parker said.

Delta Police issue warning on phone scam

Delta Police have received information of a fraudulent scam used to steal money and compromise your credit card. In this scenario, a caller makes phone contact and indicates

you have won a vaca-tion trip to multiple destinations.

All the “winner” pays is a registration fee of $194. Th e caller then transfers the phone to an associate who pres-sures you into partici-pating and providing your Visa number and security code.

Locations and amounts of money indicated in this scam will possibly vary with every call, but the elements of the scam may stay the same in this particular fraud scenario.

ABOUT 400 NDP sup-porters packed a Vic-toria high school gym

Th ursday night to hear pitches from the fi ve candidates for the party leadership.

Th ere were few

major policy diff er-ences in the latest of a series of debates that Powell River-Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas

Simons referred to as “NDP Idol.” Th e theme of the Victoria stop was youth, and most contenders off ered help

for post-secondary students with grants and low-interest or interest-free loans.

Port Coquitlam

MLA Mike Farnworth said the government can create job oppor-tunities for young people by emphasizing

apprenticeships for government construc-tion contracts, instead of going to low bidders who may be from out-side B.C. Young people can be hired to plant trees, restore stream habitat and clear brush that is a fi re hazard around many B.C. communities, he said.

Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix advo-cated “environmental youth teams” to do similar work. Juan de Fuca MLA John Hor-gan cited a T’Sou-ke Nation employment program where young people learned new skills by installing solar panels on the Van-couver Island band’s buildings as well as upgrading park trails and planting trees.

Dix also advocated union membership for part-time workers so they have a way to enforce labour code regulations such as two-hour call-out pay for work on short notice. Th e B.C. gov-ernment has only one employment standards offi cer east of Kelowna, based in Nelson, and enforcement is inad-equate, he said.

Simons referred to his experience as a child protection social worker, and stressed the need for places for young people to go if they can’t stay at home. Youth need options to work out confl icts that don’t trigger a full investigation of their families, he said.

Marijuana activist Dana Larsen, the only non-MLA running for the NDP leader-ship, called for more spending on social housing and educa-tion, fi nanced in part by a new tax bracket for people making $250,000 a year or more.

“We can build homes and schools now, or we can build prisons later,” Larsen said.

The family left their hotel in downtown Vancouver, headed for the Granville SkyTrain station to take the SkyTrain to Scott Road station. After a 40 minute ride it was just a short walk to the adjacent Interurban station where they rode the original, restored, BCER Car

1225 past Kennedy Heights, Newton and Sullivan Stations, accompanied by historic commentary, to their destination; Cloverdale, the historic heart of Surrey. After a visit through the car barns and the replica Cloverdale station, they boarded the “Clover Belle” streetcar and toured Main Street Cloverdale, hopping off to tour the museum, shops and

restaurants before heading back to Vancouver via the interurban experience.

This vision, long held by the supporters of the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society (FVHRS) initiative got a big boost when Surrey City Council recently approved plans to relocate the interurban restoration and rehabilitation project to property adjacent to the tracks in Cloverdale, from Sullivan Station at 64thand 152nd Street. The $2.9 million initiative will be used to purchase land on 176th near #10 Highway and erect a permanent car barn facility, twice the size of Sullivan barn (complete with an inspection pit). This will accommodate BCER Cars 1225 and 1304 and the Clover Bell streetcar, and provide a heated work shop and maintenance space, fi re protection and space for both the volunteers and Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society to meet.

“It fi nally sets the stage for the implementation of a heritage rail journey, tied in with a destination experience in Surrey’s historic Cloverdale, once a terminus for three separate railroads.” said John Sprung, Chair of the FVHRS. “Since we got underway in 1996, when the Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission launched a four year feasibility study, our vision has been get car, fi x car –

specifi cally Interurban Cars 1225 and 1304 – and run car. We have achieved the fi rst two, with all restoration of 1225 now virtually complete. We are only awaiting the return of the trucks (the carriages containing the motors and wheels) from their rebuild, to connect them with the car, and we will be ready to go.” Sprung said the work is to be completed by May or June of this year.

“It comes, ironically, on the heels of the 100th anniversary of the construction of the Fraser Valley Line which connected Chilliwack in the east, and the other valley communities to Vancouver. And when we recommence activity, we will be the only interurban operation in Canada to be running on its original line.”

“Initially, we will relocate the FVHRS heritage rail interurban centre in Cloverdale, and run 1225 between Cloverdale and Sullivan as ‘proof of concept’. Once established and proven, we plan to extend (fi rst) to Newton and then to Scott Road where the system then becomes easily accessible to the world via SkyTrain.” There are needed road crossing upgrades to include lights, bells and automatic gates to extend beyond Sullivan

Surrey Councillor Barbara Steele, responsible for Surrey Heritage and the council liaison to the FVHRS feels the heritage rail project is a very important piece to boost Surrey heritage tourism. “With the relocation of the Heritage Rail to Cloverdale, we can dramatically expand Surrey’s tourist experience offering by bringing our historic Cloverdale main street, our fairgrounds and museum complex together with an authentic streetcar and heritage rail experience all centered in one place. There will be so much more for visitors to do and see that will make a visit here most attractive and Cloverdale a true destination.”

The economic value of this initiative to the community as a heritage tourism project is considerable conservatively estimated between $3 - $4 million annually with 1225, doubling in

economic value when the second car BCER 1304 is restored and in operation... It would operate parallel to the cruise ship season so the Cloverdale heritage rail experience can be promoted globally, The rail operation will be by volunteer operators as is the case world wide with most heritage rail operations and running during summer weekends initially.

“As we progressed with the fi ve year rehabilitation of 1225 it became apparent that the Sullivan Station site was not suitable for the ultimate operation of the vehicles,” said Sprung. “The car barn was too small to accommodate the needed rolling stock, providing the necessary infrastructure of fi re sprinklers and washrooms was extremely

expensive, and poor ground conditions for the access spur to the Southern Rail Line made it a very expensive location to continue with. When the City of Surrey offered the Cloverdale site, with better buildings and track access, combined with the advantages of being in the historical centre of Surrey, we happily embraced this solution.”

Moving the interurbans to Cloverdale, however, is not the end of the story. Indeed it’s just the beginning according to FVHRS Secretary Allen Aubert.

“The City of Surrey has made an important contribution toward the ultimate success of our dream – tying the heritage rail experience with the obvious historical aspects of Cloverdale,” Aubert said. “and although this will allow us to bring the interurban experience to reality, our society has much left to do to see the dream completed. In order to properly service the public, we must raise money for three additional critical projects:• to build a replica of the original Cloverdale

station which will not only serve as a station, but function as an interpretive and display centre ($200 thousand)

• commission the construction of a replica baggage car to house the generator necessary to power the

cars, as replacing the original overhead wires is impractical ($800 thousand), and

• fully rehabilitate Car 1304, the Connaught ($500 thousand)We have achieved much through our ‘One

passenger at a time’ campaign to this point, but we will continue to work hard to ensure the remaining funds are acquired and the work completed.”

The society has contributed about $1 million through; 16 thousand volunteer restoration hours (value - $400 thousand), donations and goods in kind ($600 thousand). Surrey invested $550 thousand initially, along with the $2.9 million just announced, and $75 thousand came from the BC Ministry of Transportation towards the acquisition

of BCER 1225.The City has demonstrated its commitment and

faith in this project since its inception in 1996 by the Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission through today in addition to our enduring relationships with Southern Rail and BC Hydro and many other organizations who have continued their support.

The FVHRS has established a timeline for the transition as follows:April: Carbarn construction: April 1 to end of June May: Last open house celebration at the

Sullivan site (watch for notices)July: Move to Cloverdale August: Test and certify Car 1225 and

all other systemsSeptember: Roll out service with Car 1225

In addition to that schedule, the FVHRS is still planning, along with Southern Rail, the Centenary Fraser Valley Line Rail tour from New Westminster to Chilliwack. Dates are still pending and details will be advertised.

Please contact the FVHRS, a federally and provincially registered non-profi t society, through our website; www.fvhrs.org and consider becoming a volunteer, member and donor.

IT’S PRETTY straight forward and simple when your company’s delivery truck gets a fl at tire or needs an engine tune up to get it back on the road again.

Th ere are plenty of mechanic shops that deal with all kinds of rigs and their needed repairs and mainte-nance.

But when your busi-ness deals with multi-million-dollar aircraft that require specifi c maintenance cycles not only to keep them in operation but maintain strict safety standards, not any old shop on the high street will do.

In steps South Delta-based Heli-One which opened a massive (234,000-sq.-ft .) overhaul and repair facility in 2008 adjacent to Boundary Bay Airport where customers from around the globe send their helicopters to get scheduled work per-formed.

Looking out into the large shop fl oor it’s not uncommon to see aircraft emblazoned in livery from places like Central America and Europe.

In between are good doses of aircraft bearing the red and blue colours of Heli-One’s parent company CHC, because with one of the largest fl eets of rotary wing aircraft in the world – primarily tasked with off shore drilling opera-tions – they have to get their own maintenance seen to somewhere.

Th en there’s a smat-tering of matt grey and olive drab machines clearly denoting their military function.

Just about whatever the type of helicopter and its task, Heli-One is prepared to work on in it – from nose to tail.

“We have the capa-bility to tear down a whole aircraft and

rebuild it,” said Timothy Blaskovich, director of the engine shop at Heli-One. “Other jobs would be to run some major maintenance cycles. Or incorporate new interior fi nishes for aircraft .”

It’s a one-stop locationthat employs upwards of 350 employees who work on aircraft for customers who need them back in the air and working as soon as possible.

Blaskovich said heli-copter maintenance can be fairly intensive work.

“Some level of main-tenance is done in the fi eld, at 800 hours (of use) typically. But for the more major type of work the aircraft can go into a hangar and have signifi cant work done to

them.”Part of

that is the ability to also work on the aircraft ’s engines in a designated part of Heli-One’s sprawl-ing building which has a pair of engine run-up test cells where the repaired or over-hauled power

plants are monitored with special equipment to ensure they are in working order.

Despite Heli-One’s large work load it still represents just a frac-tion of the need for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) work, said Andrew Huige, spokesperson for the company.

“Even though we are the largest, third-party MRO, we still have only fi ve per cent of the world market,” he said. “Th ere’s tons more to go around. Th e mainte-nance side is the area for growth in our business.”

Blaskovich said the Delta facility could bring in more business, but the facility’s size has its limitations.

“It’s an ongoing challenge to marry the forecasts from the sales team to the operations logistics side.”

ONE FORMER and two current Abbotsford residents – along with fi ve others, including two Surrey men – have been sentenced in connection to a massive scheme that involved traffi cking thousands of pounds of “B.C. Bud” and cocaine across the U.S./Canada border.

Andrew Hall, 33, and Darrin Hotner, 42, of Abbotsford were each sentenced on March 25 in Seattle to two years probation, a $5,000 fi ne and 120 hours of community service.

Jody York, 36, formerly of Abbotsford and now of Barriere, was sentenced to the longest prison term – 59 months – and was taken into custody on the spot. Edward Russell, 34, of Sur-rey was sentenced to 54 months in prison, three years of super-vised release and a $10,000 fi ne. He was also taken into custody.

Th e men were described as managers in a drug organization that moved thousands of pounds of marijuana into the U.S. in PVC pipe, hollowed-out logs, wood chips and hidden compartments in tractor trailer rigs.

Th e leader of the conspiracy, Rob Shannon of Maple Ridge, was sentenced in March 2009 to 20 years in prison.

Shannon, along with Devron Quast of Abbotsford, was arrested in June 2008 following a three-year investigation that involved undercover offi cers and resulted in the seizure of more than 1,700

pounds of cocaine, 7,000 pounds of marijuana and about $3.5 mil-lion in cash.

Quast was sentenced in July 2009 to 75 months in jail.

To date, 54 defendants, includ-ing 28 Canadians, have been charged. A total of 48 have been convicted.

At Friday’s sentencing hearing, Chief U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik said this was “a major

drug organization that had a terrible impact on lower British Columbia and this part of the U.S.”

Court documents say Hall’s role was limited to manual labour, such as hollowing out logs so that marijuana could be placed inside, or shoveling out bark mulch from trailers.

He was paid approximately $500 for each load in which he was involved. He had no fi nancial stake in the marijuana nor was he involved in the planning, the documents state.

Hall became involved in the scheme in late 2004 and with-drew in 2006 “because he no longer wished to be involved in criminal activity.”

Hotner allowed marijuana to be stored at his Abbotsford farm before it was loaded for transport.

Th e other defendants sen-tenced on Friday were: Bryan Hanna, 28, of Vancouver, who received one year in prison; Brian Stone, 48, of Surrey, one year probation and 80 hours of com-munity service; and Frederick Davey, 63, one year probation.

All seven defendants pleaded guilty last November.

Lost dogs without licences may never be reunited with their owners and Delta, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Langley, New Westminster, Richmond, District of North Vancouver and Van-couver animal shelter managers have come together in an eff ort to prevent this from happening. Th rough promotion and educa-tion of the benefi ts of licensing, the hope is to increase awareness and the number of dogs licensed in each district.

Statistics from the Delta Com-munity Animal Shelter and other municipal shelters shows that an alarming amount of dogs are still not licensed within their areas.

“Th e issue of dog licensing is so important to the municipali-ties that we have come together as a collective group,” says Sarah Lowe, shelter manager for the Delta Community Animal Shel-ter. “Our hope is to educate the public about the importance of licensing.”

Overall statistics across the municipalities show just

25 to 70 per cent of dogs are licensed. With just a 10-per-cent increase across the board, it would eliminate a lot of dogs that are left in the shelter.

“We get about six calls a week of a licensed lost dog found by a neighbour,” says Lowe. “Because of the licence, we are able to connect them with their owner right away and the dog doesn’t even come to the shelter. We get approximately double that amount of un-licensed dogs coming into the shelter and around 20 per cent never get claimed by their owners. Th is is 20 per cent more than any shelter would like to see.”

A lot of pet owners think that tattoos and microchips are solid

ways to fi nd their pets if they become lost, but oft en they are diffi cult to trace.

Unlike the local SPCA, municipal shelters operate under diff erent bylaws and funding, thereby relying on sources like licensing. Licence funding goes back into the shelters which help municipalities provide regular care such as housing, food, train-ing and medical care for stray and unwanted animals, provide protection for the residents from dangerous dogs, assist with animal care related issues, noise issues related to barking dogs and provide education to the public about dog specifi c issues.

When it comes to compliance, the City of Calgary has become the leader in licensing, with 90 per cent of dogs and 45 per cent of cats licensed in Calgary. It also has the highest return-to-owner rates in North America.

Dog owners can check with their local municipal shelter to fi nd out more about licensing costs, penalties, renewal dates and advantages.

Information about the Delta Community Animal Shelter can be found at www.deltacommu-nityanimalshelter.ca

Protecting Your Property after a Relationship Breakdownby Bryn C. Hirsch

When a relationship breakdown occurs there are many issues that need to be dealt with by lawyers. One of the issues we regularly deal with for our clients is securing an interest in family assets regardless

of which party has control of those assets. Unfortunately, some individuals will attempt to dispose of or hide assets in an effort to avoid the equitable division of wealth. We have several tools at our

disposal to overcome such attempts.

We can get an order from the Court restraining a party from disposing assets. If this order is breached, the breaching party may be found in contempt and face a ne or imprisonment. Additionally, an order may be obtained requiring certain funds be paid to the Court for safekeeping.

In situations where there is a family home, we can register a Certi cate of Pending Litigation against the title. This is especially useful where there is only one party on title as it will hinder that party from selling the property without the approval of his or her partner. We can also protect against the unwanted sale of properties in addition to the family home.

Just as every relationship is unique, so is every relationship breakdown. If you nd yourself in the midst of a breakup and are concerned about your former partner disposing of assets you should meet with a lawyer. They will sit down with you and develop a plan that is suited to your own personal needs.

PEACE ARCH United are champs again.

Th e venerable men’s premier soccer side won its second consecutive Pakenham Cup with a 4-1 win over North Delta SC Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park. Th e team now has fi ve Pak-enham titles since 2005, and has also won the “double” – a Fraser Valley Soccer League premier title and the Pakenham Cup in the same sea-son – in three of the past fi ve years. And according to PAU captain John Collins, it’s a championship run that’s unprec-edented in the FVSL.

“As far as I know, it’s something that’s never been done, so to have done it now three times, that’s pretty special for this team,” said Collins, who has been on the squad since 2002.

On Saturday, Peace Arch jumped on the underdogs from North Delta early, when Ryan Horvath opened the scoring in the game’s fi rst minute.

“It was a counter-attack goal. One of their defenders made a blunder with the ball, and we jumped on it and made a through-ball to Ryan,” explained Collins.

“It was a really good start.”Steve Otten of North Delta tied

the game 20 minutes later. But Peace Arch restored its one-goal

lead before halft ime when Taki Vohalis made it 2-1.

In the second half, Peace Arch “really started to light it up,” Col-lins said.

Cory Gibson made it 3-1 early in the second frame, and Steve Dormer tacked on PAU’s fourth goal late in the game to really put it out of reach.

Despite winning by three goals, Collins gave credit to the young North Delta side, but suggested

his squad’s experience served them well in such a big game.

“It was a close game, and North Delta is a real scrappy group – they never gave up, never gave us much,” he said.

“But it’s one of those kind of games – it’s a one-game

(winner takes all) cup fi nal, so sometimes people get nervous out there.”

Peace Arch’s ball control advan-tage, especially in North Delta SC’s end of the fi eld, also helped the home team wear down its younger foes, who fi nished eighth in the premier league regular sea-son, 21 points back of Peace Arch.

“We had the ball a lot more in the right areas – and a lot in their half,” Collins said.

“Th at created a lot of scoring chances for us – they’re goalie had to made three or four big saves for them, or we could’ve had a few more.”

SECTION C0-ORDINATOR: RICK KUPCHUK (PHONE 604-575-5335)

by Rick Kupchuk

WITH CLOSE TO seven months of league and cup play now behind them, 30 men’s and women’s soccer teams are hoping to still be playing fi ve weeks from now.

Th e draws for the 20-team men’s and 10-team women’s Provincial Cup tourna-ments were made by the B.C. Soccer Asso-ciation Monday aft ernoon in Vancouver. Th e two respective provincial champions will be declared aft er the cup fi nals May 15 in Aldergrove, with the winners advancing to national championship competition.

Participating in the Provincial Cup is nothing new to the men and women from Surrey United, both of which earned the double this season by winning their respec-tive league and cup competitions.

Th e United Firefi ghters men’s team, which has accomplished the Vancouver Metro Soccer League (VMSL) double for two consecutive seasons, has been a perennial contender for the provincial championship. But it hasn’t won since 2003.

Th ey came close last season, but lost 2-1 to Gorge FC of Victoria in the Provincial Cup fi nal on Vancouver Island.

Surrey will face VMSL rivals Columbus FC in the round of 16 the weekend of April 16-17. United won the Premier Division title with a 19-4-4 (won-tied-lost) record, while Columbus was third in the 14-team group at 13-5-8.

“If you want to win it all, you have to beat the best,” said Martin Foden, executive director of Surrey United and an assistant

coach with the Firefi ghters team. “We seem to rise to the occasion against better oppo-sition, and Columbus is a team that always plays us tough.”

Four other local men’s teams are also in the Provincial Cup, and all have a bye through the fi rst round this weekend.

Because they fi nished fi rst in the Fraser Valley Soccer League’s Premier Division, Peace Arch United bypasses the prelimi-nary games and will begin play April 16 against Delta United, a team which placed fi ft h in the VMSL’s top tier with a 13-3-10 mark.

Newton’s ICST Pegasus gets Bays United of Victoria in their round-of-16 game. Pegasus was seventh in the VMSL Premier Division at 11-5-10.

Despite a 12th-place fi nish in the VMSL

with a 7-6-13 record, the Punjab Hur-ricanes qualifi ed for Provincial Cup play with a semifi nal appearance in the Imperial Cup competition. Th ey will be at home at Newton Athletic Park for their fi rst game April 16-17, against the winner of this weekend’s clash between Fraser Valley league rivals Athletic Club BC and the Port Moody Gunners.

Surrey United is the lone local team in the women’s Provincial Cup. Th ey have a fi rst round bye, and won’t begin play until a quarterfi nal contest May 1 at home against either Nanaimo United or the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Extreme.

Surrey has won the last seven Provincial Cup titles, and was a perfect 12-0-0 in Metro Women’s Soccer League play.

...with Dan JukichWith just four dates left on the

Fraser Downs schedule before the summer break, there’s still a considerable amount of purse money left on the table.

There are back-to-back $25,000 stake fi nals on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, followed by two $75,000 BC Stallion Stakes on closing night: Friday, April 15.

The four-year-olds share the limelight with the male segment pacing on Saturday and then the mares on Sunday. It is the last full weekend at Fraser Downs but not the fi nal card. The fi nale is Friday night – April 15 – before the split season resumes on October 7.

The BC Stallion Stakes eliminations for three-year-old colts and fi llies saw horsemen Mike Hennessy and Ed Hensley each win two events in a steady downpour at The Downs last Friday night.

Hennessy drove Just Ryan to victory over a sloppy track in the fi rst of two eliminations for colts and geldings in a fi nal time of 1:58.3. It was the fi rst win in fi ve starts this season for Just Ryan, trained by Robert Merschback and owned by Aldergrove’s Tammie Mosterd. Trainer/driver Hensley had favoured Limit The Risk in the winner’s circle in the second colt elimination, reaching the wire in 1:57.4.

Hensley guided 1-5 favourite Just Fiction to victory in the opening fi lly elimination in a fi nal time of 1:59 while SRS Annie (1-9) with Hennessy in the sulky prevailed in the second leg with the identical winning time of 1:59. Hennessy drove four winners on the 11-race program; Hensley scored a driving triple and a training win so the H&H boys were pleased their respective accomplishments.

There was a major upset in Sunday’s $12,500 Fillies and Mares Open when Western Bee at 17-1 nailed a career best fi nal time of 1:54.2 in a three-horse photo fi nish. Trainer/driver J.F. Gagne got the nod over odds-on favourite With Bells On and Jans Rich Girl.

You’ve gotta love those three-across-the-track photo fi nishes.

Time is running out at The Downs. Friday night, Saturday and Sunday afternoon and then Friday, April 15 before the summer break. See you there.

ONE MEMBER of the Surrey Eagles and three other local residents are headed to Russia this week, to represent Canada at the 2011 Russian Invitational Tournament.

Surrey Eagles blue-liner and Delta native Mitch Jones – who had 11 goals and 42 points this past season, tops among the team’s defencemen – was named to the squad last week, as was South Surrey resident Troy Paterson, a former Semi-ahmoo Minor Hockey alum who now plays for the BC Hockey League’s Cowichan Valley Capi-tals.

Paterson, 18, is the son of former Surrey Eagles owner Ronnie Paterson. Th e elder Paterson – who is still is president and alternate governor of the Eagles, though he no longer owns a stake in the club – is also heading to the tournament, to be held in Podolsk, Russia, as the Canadian squad’s general manager.

Rounding out the local contingent is South Surrey massage therapist

Larry Martin, who is part of the team’s medi-cal staff .

And while he is no longer a Surrey resident, the squad’s head coach is Tim Kehler, a former Eagles’ assistant coach who is now the bench boss for the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.

In Russia, the Cana-dian squad will face off against the Russian national junior team, a Russian Select team and the Slovakian national junior squad.

“We’re incredibly excited to be making this trip and giving these young men an oppor-tunity to represent their country,” said Ronnie Paterson in a release.

“It’s going to be very worthwhile for these players and good for the BCHL, as well.”

Th e team leaves Fri-day, April 8 and returns April 19.

BMO Team of the Week

A major national soccer program has been launched this week by BMO Finan-cial Group.

Th e BMO Team of the Week program is open to young soccer players across the coun-try and will recognize 15 youth teams, giving each a chance to win a grand prize which includes $125,000 to

For the next 15 weeks, Canadian soccer coaches and parents can nomi-nate their favourite youth soccer team at BMOsoccer.com. BMO Team of the Week winners will be announced every week starting on April 20, and will receive $500, track suits and a dona-tion to a local charity.

“BMO Team of the Week recognizes teams coast to coast for their achievements both on and off the field,” said Sandy Bourne, vice-president, spon-sorships with BMO Financial Group.

“Soccer has long been the beloved sport of so many countries around the world, and is reaching new levels in Canada at both the youth and elite levels.”

Each of the winning teams will become finalists for the grand prize and all Cana-dians will be able to vote for their favourite team starting August 1 at BMOsoccer.com. The BMO Team of the Week 2011 Champion will receive a $125,000 field refurbishment, a trip to see a Toronto FC or Vancouver Whitecaps FC home game and $5,000 to their chosen charity.

by Melissa Smalley

There’s a fi tness centre just around the corner from where 57-year-old Deb-bie Rondeau lives.

Th e Surrey woman has driven past it nearly every day for the past 23 years.

Until recent months, she never thought to step foot inside it.

In fact, two years ago Rondeau was physi-cally incapable of any exercise. She couldn’t stand for more than just a few minutes. If she went to a restaurant, her husband, Andy, had to go in ahead of her to make sure there were more than just booths, which she couldn’t fi t into.

When fl ying down to their vacation home in California, she had to share part of Andy’s seat next to her, and ask for a seatbelt exten-sion so the belt could fi t around her.

Rondeau stepped on a scale in March 2009 and weighed 430 pounds.

“Th at was a surprise, even to me,” Rondeau says, refl ecting on that eye-opening weigh-in.

Born in Saskatchewan, Rondeau moved to B.C. when she was 10 years old. In her early 20s, she married her husband and the couple moved to the Vancouver area to start a family.

Aft er the birth of her second child, Ron-deau started to put on weight – eventually reaching more than 400 pounds.

“I like to say I dieted myself to that weight,” she explains. “I was constantly dieting, and I would lose. But then I would regain it, plus a little bit. It took a while, but I eventually got really, really large.”

Aft er years of failed weigh-loss programs and fad diets, Rondeau’s mother pointed out an advertisement she had

seen for a Surrey-based program called SureSlim.

Rondeau paid a visit to the clinic, where she had blood tests done, which were then analyzed by a doctor. She was then given a specifi c list of what foods she could and could not have, based on her metabolism, as well as the portion amounts and time of day she was supposed to eat the specifi c foods.

She says the results were immediate. “Th e fi rst week I think, I dropped 12

pounds or more,” she says, noting she had seen similar quick results with other diet programs that she had never been able to stick to.

“I guess in the back of your mind, there’s always that thought of, ‘I wonder how long I’m going to last this time…’”

Aft er losing 241 pounds in 21 months, Rondeau can safely say she has found a pro-gram that she’s able to stick to.

“Th e one thing that stands out most for me, which makes me think why I’ve been so successful, is I don’t have cravings,” she explains. “I always was successful when I tried to lose weight, but I’d hit a point where I would have cravings and I would go off and I would never go back on again, it seemed.”

Rondeau attributes the lack of cravings to her balanced insulin levels – a result of stick-ing to the proper foods determined from her blood work. She also says that she never feels deprived of goodies or other unhealthy foods.

And about nine months ago, she joined that gym around the block from her house and has been working with a personal trainer several times a week.

WHEN PEOPLE think of the SPCA they oft en think of the thousands of homeless cats and dogs awaiting new, lov-ing homes.

But the BC SPCA’s 37 shelters around the province provide sheltering, care and protection for every type of animal imagin-able – from hamsters to horses.

Small animals – sometimes referred to as “pocket pets” – are frequently left at SPCA branches when pet guardians become tired of caring for them or fi nd themselves with unexpected litters due

to lack of education about spaying and neu-tering small pets.

Th e BC SPCA is urg-ing adopters to think of the SPCA as their “fi rst adoption option” when bringing a small pet into their home.

While hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rats and rabbits can all make wonderful pets, it is important to be informed about their specifi c needs and suit-ability for your family.

Did you know, for example, that while many people cringe at thought of having a rat in their home, they are actually the most social, intelligent, and interac-tive of all the small animals, making them an ideal pet for a child?

Animal scientists have even discovered that rats emit a happy, laughter-like sound when playing.

Rabbits, on the other hand, are prey animals who can become fearful when picked up or han-dled incorrectly by chil-

dren and make much better pets for adults or older children who are ready for a greater level of responsibility.

Providing the right habitat, diet and exercise regime for small animals are also important.

Every animal, great or small, has very specifi c behaviours and needs that must be met in order for them to have good welfare.

Too oft en, small pets are housed in under-sized cages with little or no enrichment because their guardians don’t understand their needs.

Th e BC SPCA’s website has a wealth of information on pet care for small animals (spca.bc.ca/pet-care) to help guardians provide just the right environment, diet and enrichment for their new pet.

If you’re thinking of adding a pint-sized pet to your family, be sure to check out your local SPCA (spca.bc.ca) or rescue group – there are hundreds of furry friends just waiting for a new home.

Lorie Chortyk is the general manager of com-munity relations at the BC SPCA.

THIS YEAR MARKS the 120th anniversary of the arrival of Ukrainians in Surrey. Accord-ing to the 2006 census, there were 16,050 Ukrainians resid-ing in our city.

In celebration of Surrey’s rich tapestry of Ukrainian culture, the Surrey Museum is hosting a Ukrainian Cultural Aft ernoon on April 9.

Visitors will be welcomed with toe-tapping music, pysanky egg decorating dem-onstrations, displays, vintage fi lms, and a colouring table

for kids.In 2010, in partner-

ship with members of the Ukrainian community, the museum hosted its fi rst cultural aft ernoon and was fi lled to capacity as crowds came in.

Th is year’s highlight will be a 1 p.m. concert by the Ukrai-nian Dulcimer Ensemble.

“When we started out, none of us knew a note,” says Sur-rey resident Gladys Andreas, who formed the Ukrainian Dulcimer Ensemble with her

musical partners in 1998. Th e ensemble, whose

members grew up listening to Ukrainian music, soon became sought-aft er musicians playing for audiences throughout the Lower Mainland, other prov-inces and U.S. states.

A forerunner to the pianoforte and the piano, the dulcimer is a trapezoid-shaped string instrument with any-where from 120 to 144 strings, played by striking the strings with a wooden hammer.

In addition to the dulcimer,

the ensemble includes accom-paniment by fi ddle, guitar, mandolin, and harmonica.

Th e aft ernoon’s activities also include dancing by Sur-rey’s Kvitka Ukrainian Dancers (1 p.m.) and a Ukrainian fi lm series (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.).

Th e Surrey Museum is located at 17710 56A Ave. Th is year’s admission has been sponsored by the Friends of the Museum Society.
