for running red lights last year and ICBC doesn’t rule out making even greater use of the technology to reduce intersection crashes. The newly installed system of digital intersection cameras generated 30,803 tickets against red light runners, up from 20,521 in 2010 under the old analog cameras. That translated into $3.6 million in paid fines for 2011 so far Q 1. Nordel Way and $5.1 million if all of the $167 at 84 Avenue tickets are paid. That compares Q 2. King George to about $2.9 million in 2010. The largest number of tickets Boulevard and 80 were issued in Vancouver Avenue – 13,012 – followed by 5,298 in Q 3. West Georgia Surrey, 4,027 in Burnaby, 1,976 in Delta and 1,394 in Richmond. at Denman The cameras flash each time a red light runner is detected, but Q 4. Granville Street at West 49 tickets are only issued to about one out of every four violators, Avenue continuing the enforcement rate Q 5. Oak Street at used in the past. Mark Milner, ICBC’s manager West 57 Avenue of road safety programs, said the ticket increase was expected because more cameras are now in use – 140 compared to 120 with the old system – and they’ve been put in more effective locations where red light running is most prevalent.

ing crews who have battled high levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria at Burnaby Hospital to four more hospitals to try to wash down infection rates there. The so-called “super clean crews” will spend two weeks each starting April 2 at Langley Memorial, Peace Arch, Royal Columbian and finally Surrey Memorial hospitals. Petra Welsh, Fraser Health’s director of infection prevention Petra Welsh and control, said the decision was made based on the work at Burnaby Hospital, where high rates of C. difficile (CDI) prompted doctors to speak out and led to an independent review and a series of new recommendations. “These four facilities are the ones that see the sickest patients, the ones that are most vulnerable to CDI,” she said. “These are also the facilities where we see the higher trend of C. difficile due to the large size of the facilities.”

“People say the sites smell cleaner and look cleaner.”

Blaine train campaign gathers steam Councillors from Surrey and White Rock meet with U.S. counterparts to discuss re-opening an old station by Dan Ferguson THE CAMPAIGN to save an old passenger-train station in Blaine, Wash.

gained a little steam this week, thanks in part to visiting Canadians. Councillors from Surrey and White Rock crossed the U.S. border to back a plan that would revive it as a stop on the current Vancouver-to-Seattle Amtrak Cascades service. BNSF Railway, owner of the border town’s dilapidated station, has applied for permission to demolish the century-old wooden building – located just south of the Peace Arch – but the City of Blaine has delayed a final decision on the tear-down to allow time for a review of its historical significance. At a Monday night meeting of Blaine council, Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt and White Rock Coun. Grant Meyer told their U.S. counterparts that a reopened passenger-train station could draw on a potentially huge customer base from their cities, in addition to neigbouring Delta and both Langleys. Currently, Canadians’ closest option for boarding the southbound Cascades is heading north to Vancouver’s Pacific Central Station. “We have 870,000 people lying on the other Surrey Coun. side of the border, who right now have to spend an hour to go into Vancouver and then take an Marvin Hunt hour to come back out on the train, wasting two hours,” Hunt said. Meyer, who has fought unsuccessfully for an Amtrak stop in his community, said the U.S. option would be a logical substitute. “I think it can be the stop that we wanted in White Rock, but due to customs issues and parking (problems) just wasn’t feasible,” Meyer said following the meeting. “I think this could be the answer.” Blaine council also heard from Bruce Agnew, director of Cascadia Center, a Seattle-based transportation policy body, who said that as well as lobbying for a Blaine train stop, the local council should push for a third Vancouverto-Seattle train running in the middle of the day to supplement the existing morning and evening runs. Agnew said the Blaine station should be considered part of a “Semiahmoo Gateway” that includes the many Canadians just across the border who want to avoid the roundabout trip to Vancouver.

“It’s not often that I’ve seen council members applauding a delegation.”

A proposal to save this 100-year-old train station in Blaine from being demolished would see it revived as a stop on the Vancouver to Seattle Amtrak “Cascades” train service.

ICBC: Reviewing if crashes have declined From page 1 “We do expect that number will go down over time as people get used to the idea a little more and as they modify their behaviour,” he said. Milner said ICBC is now conducting an evaluation of whether the program is actually reducing the number of crashes, adding results are expected next year. If warranted, he said, ICBC could opt to boost the ticket-issuing rate from the current 25 per cent level – reducing motorists’ 75-per-cent chance of driving unpenalized through a camera-monitored red light, The five intersections where the most tickets were issued last year were Nordel Way at 84 Avenue in Delta (1,393 tickets); King George Boulevard at 80 Avenue in Surrey (1,205); West Georgia Street at Denman in Vancouver (1,052); Granville Street at West 49th in Vancouver (1,038); and Oak Street at West 57th in Vancouver (998). “It doesn’t necessarily mean that people are running the red light more often [at those sites], just that they’re getting caught more,” Milner said. Last year’s statistics are deceptive, he added, because the first cameras were installed in January while others didn’t get replaced until as late as November. Since ICBC tried to keep the total number of tickets being issued stable, A worker adusts a red Milner said the first cameras to be replaced may have issued a higher prolight camera on Fraser portion of tickets than usual for much of 2011. Highway.

The project to modernize the intersection cameras cost $23 million, while the annual operating cost is $1.2 million. Milner said all of that will be recovered through insurance claim savings in the coming years. Fine revenue goes to the province to pay for traffic safety initiatives. The red light cameras are also capable of detecting excessive speeders but so far ICBC has not contemplated configuring the cameras to ticket those drivers as well. “There are not any plans to make those kind of changes right now,” he said, adding it could be examined in the future. Michael Cain, of the advocacy group SENSE originally formed to oppose photo radar, said the new cameras likely don’t break down as often as the old ones. “There are a lot more cameras that are on a lot more of the time,” he said of the jump in tickets. “There’s just far more detection.” Cain said he’d prefer to see an independent study determine if there’s a crash-reduction benefit. He said many fatal crashes happen late at night, with impaired or prohibited drivers behind the wheel, adding it may be that more police on the streets at that time would do more to stop them. Cain noted that although tougher red light camera enforcement may reduce the number of T-bone type broadside crashes at intersections, there may be more rear-enders as drivers brake to avoid being ticketed.

2 Surrey women make first cut for Lingerie Football League 11 women invited to B.C. Angels mini-camp to decide ﬁnal roster by Martin van den Hemel SURREY RESIDENTS Alessa

Train plan: ‘I think this is... going to happen From page 3 “We’re suggesting that Blaine would be perfect as a portal,” Agnew said. “I think there’s a lot of pent-up demand to ride the train.” Agnew said the “incredible” increase in the number of Canadians flying out of Bellingham International Airport supports the case for a Blaine train station that caters to the Canadian market. Blaine councillors were a receptive audience. “It’s not often that I’ve seen council members applauding a delegation,” Hunt observed. “It seemed to be a very positive response.” Blaine council member Bonnie Onyon said the city should lobby Washington State Gov. Bill Becht Christine Gregoire to amend the regional transportation plan by adding a Blaine train stop. Blaine businessman Bill Becht – one of the people campaigning to save the station – said it is still an uphill battle but added that he is more optimistic following the Monday meeting. “I think this is probably going to happen,” Becht said. “I feel really good about it.” For more information about the train station campaign, visit http://www.blainestation.com/ dferguson@peacearchnews.com

Garcia and Emilija Martic were among 11 women to make the initial cut following last Friday’s Lingerie Football League tryout in Richmond. Nearly two dozen women tried out for a spot on the B.C. Angels – which will be playing out of Abbotsford – and many quickly demonstrated that they were more than just a pretty face. Coquitlam’s Mary Anne Hanson distinguished herself with her strong and accurate throwing arm, Vancouver’s Stephanie Manou showed off her overall athleticism thanks to her experience as a rugby player, and both Port Moody’s Jeanette Jackson and Surrey’s Martic were among the strongest competitors who weren’t afraid to get physical. Garcia, who has been playing football recreationally for many years, has a versatile repertoire, capable as a quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back.

be paid, Mortaza hyped up how they’ll instead receive plenty of profile and media attention. Also among the 11 who made Friday’s cut were: Vancouver’s Sara Lia Lam, Megan Stewart and Ashley Petrie; North Vancouver’s Kate Marshall; and Coquitlam’s Sara Leibl and Stephanie Fitzgerald. Friday’s two-hour tryout saw the LFL hopefuls demonstrate their offensive and defensive skills. They were run through a series of drills, from oneon-one tackling to throwing and catching, running pass routes, and trying to sack the quarterback. The exhausting tryout left many of the women with souvenirs in the form of scrapes and bruises. And plenty of smiles. Following the tryout, as Mortaza met with his staff to determine the finalists, many of the participants said they had fun, and enjoyed the camaraderie and workout.

Bridge tolling like a contagious disease

BRIDGE TOLLS started on the Golden Ears

Bridge, and got dragged onto the new Port Mann Bridge, which will be in operation very soon. Now this contagious disease of tolls could be spreading to all the old and new crossings in Metro Vancouver. Most politicians at various levels and other leaders of various concerned groups seem to be biting into the bait hung from the fishing rods of greedy, incompetent and irresponsible backroom players of numerous related agencies who have a history of waste and mismanagement of money.

Firstly, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts tries to score some points with residents living south of the Fraser River by suggesting that other crossings should be tolled as well, not just the new Port Mann Bridge. Instead, she should have taken a stand to oppose all tolls to begin with. Secondly, the B.C. Chamber of Commerce’s president also suggests regional tolling would be fairer than a car levy or carbon tax. The public is already buried under the weight of multiple covert and overt taxes and levies. No one form of tax or levy is fairer than the other; all are bad. People should not be further

punished with new levies and toll taxes. Politicians and leaders of all stripes should oppose all tolls and find other innovative ways to raise the necessary funds. Once a tax is in place it will never go away. The gas tax goes up quietly every now and then; almost one-quarter to one-third of the price at the pump goes to taxes. No wonder more and more people in the Lower Mainland are having difficulties making ends meet because we are already taxed to death. Kalwant Singh Sahota, Delta

Canines: On leash or in dog parks

MY THREE-YEAR-OLD daughter and I often visit Hillcrest Park’s kiddie park. Regularly, this park is full of unleashed dogs, even though children are playing within the park as there is an elementary school and kiddie park within it. Last September, my daughter and I were enjoying a picnic in the park. While she was eating her fishy crackers, a man from my neighbourhood brought his Airedale terrier out for a game of catch and return. Initially, the large dog was not near us, so I decided to continue the picnic. Suddenly, I heard the dog’s panting was getting louder and uncomfortably close. Impulsively, I covered my daughter behind my back. I turned around to notice that the dog was bolting towards us at full speed. The dog owner called his dog back, but it was only an arm’s length away before it retreated. As we left the park, I heard the dog owner tell another off-leash dog owner that my daughter was afraid of dogs and to keep her dog away from my daughter. I was offended and annoyed because I have taught my daughter to love dogs. However, incidents such as this

Tax the monsters IT WOULD seem to me that city

council should take a hard look at the taxation level levied on all the monster homes being built in Surrey. The only additional taxes levied are for waste removal. This seems like a small price to pay. Would it not make sense to have these houses levied with an additional school tax as well? That may relieve some of the overburdening on the school system and help do away with some of the portables and teaching shortages. I feel that this would be the very least these houses should be paying as they also have a great impact on infrastructure, roadways and additional policing. Most residents don’t realize how easy these monster homes are getting off.

Bending rules IT WAS VERY INTERESTING today to see Adrian Dix given

a warning for “losing” his ticket for SkyTrain. How many legitimate customers have done the same thing and got a fine of $179? This does not sound right to me.The rules should apply to all of us, not some of us. What makes him any different than you or I? Why is he above the so-called “rules and regulations” of SkyTrain? It seems that the rules apply to some and not to all. Adrian Dix should pay the fine just as many others have had to, perhaps for the same reason as “losing their ticket.” In the meantime, for all you daily travellers on SkyTrain, in the event you buy your ticket and “lose it,” and along come the Transit Police, just remember Dix’s story: “I lost my ticket.” You should get a warning as well. In fact, every B.C. resident should get a warning. And if they still give you the ticket, get a group together and ask transit the question, “If Adrian Dix can be given a warning, why not me?” Rules are rules, made for all of us, not some of us.

How about corporate net-zero? RE: “BCTF STATEMENTS misleading,”

Letters, March 27. I can understand and sympathize with the dilemma faced by B.C.’s government over its public-sector workers’ contracts’ non-negotiable “net-zero” clauses. Give just one union but a single percentage-point wage/benefit increase, and all the other unions that have already signed “net-zero” contracts will have the right to say “our workers want an increase too.” Furthermore, the government claims what the BCTF members ask would increase the provincial budget deficit by $2 billion. However, where the government completely loses my understanding and sympathy is in regards to the considerable corporate tax cuts that its MLAs were tripping over themselves

once elected in 2001 to implement post-haste. And then there are also the huge subsidies given to big business. Where was the unrelenting “net-zero” then? But they create jobs apparently. According to statistics, there have been little, if any, notable number of jobs created (although, the number of low-paying, foreign McJobs made gains). No, considering the tens, perhaps hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars our provincial government has flagrantly granted to gratuitously wealthy businesses and corporations over the past decade, it has no moral grounds on which to stand regarding this major fiscal issue.

business,” March 22. John Winter (president of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce) is quoted: “…the regional mayors’ council should abandon the two options (carbon tax and vehicle levy) and accept higher property taxes… for TransLink.” Two issues are addressed – funding the Evergreen Line and bridge tolls. I wish to address the bridge tolls. Why would only property owners be expected to fund vehicle traffic using a bridge? There should be a levy on every licensed vehicle in the Lower Mainland, from Langley to Horseshoe Bay. Yes, there is a cost to driving a vehicle and undoubtedly a bridge crossing the Fraser River on the Trans-Canada highway is a vital route to (and from) the region. Anyone who doesn’t know that is denying reality. Furthermore, ICBC could collect the levy at time of licence renewal and thereby avoid the expense of installing expensive tolling equipment on roadways and bridges in the Lower Mainland. And the best par? No tolls.

Surrey parts ways with BC SPCA B.C. Commissionaires will take over kenneling responsibilities by Kevin Diakiw THE CITY of Surrey will no longer be

using the BC SPCA for its kenneling services. Those services include housing stray animals that are found by Surrey bylaw officers or turned in by the public. Animal protection will still be the responsibility of the BC SPCA. The move to switch from the BC SPCA for keneling has been in the works for the last year, with Surrey purchasing its own property for an animal shelter in Cloverdale, in the 17900 block of Colebrook Road. Surrey was originally looking to partner

with another organization, but recently decided to take a run at kenneling on its own. This month, the switch from the SPCA to the B.C. Commissionaires finally took place. The BC SPCA bid for the contract, but was unable to match the low price of using the Commissioinaires. “We put in the most competitive bid we could without compromising the welfare of the stray and injured animals received by the shelter,” said Craig Daniell, chief executive officer for the BC SPCA. “It appears that the city’s decision was based on cost but, given our experience carrying out animal control contracts across the prov-

ince, we knew we could not lower the bid without adversely affecting animal care.” Animals being kenneled at the Surrey branch of the BC SPCA will be turned over to the Commissionaires on April 30. The BC SPCA has also purchased a 5.5-acre parcel of land at 16748 50 Ave. between Highway 10 and 32 Avenue. The site will be renovated to serve as an Education and Adoption Centre with a range of services for abused and animals as well as programs for pet guardians and youth in the city. The first phase of the new Surrey centre is expected to open this summer, with additional services added throughout 2012.

TOWN HALL MEETINGS In 2011, the City adopted guiding principles for community consultation to shape future direction and relationships. As part of ongoing consultation between the City of Surrey and its community associations and residents, Six Town Hall Meetings have been scheduled to facilitate ongoing and meaningful two-way dialogue with residents and community groups.

Consultation Principles The City of Surrey is committed to proactive public engagement and a government that is open, responsive, and accessible. The City believes in: s s s s s

Union: Says cleaning staff are overworked From page 1 Hospitals will first de-clutter floors by moving some equipment and furniture into storage so cleaners can more effectively conduct the thorough two-stage enhanced cleaning. Crews will use a regular cleaner followed by a second disinfection using a bleach solution several hours later. The super clean treatment could roll out to even more hospitals, but Welsh said that need will be reassessed in the weeks ahead. C. difficile infects the intestines and can cause illnesses ranging from diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever and colitis, and in some cases, results in death. A number of deaths across the health region have been linked to C. difficile infections in recent years. Welsh said new infections are down in the wake of the Burnaby cleaning. “People say the sites smell cleaner and look cleaner,” she added. The work is being done by cleaning contractors Aramark and Sodexho, which have pulled in casual cleaners who normally work at Vancouver Coastal hospitals in order to meet the higher workload in Fraser. Hospital Employees’ Union spokesman Mike Old said Vancouver General and St. Paul’s hospitals are short-staffed as a result, remaining cleaners are over-worked and patients could pay the price if cleanliness suffers. The union has filed a grievance at the two hospitals over excessive work loads. “The bottom line is, they don’t have enough cleaners,” Old said. “They’re taking cleaners from one health authority to deal with the problem in another health authority.” Welsh said Fraser Health has been assured the transfer of workers from Vancouver Coastal isn’t leaving those hospitals short-staffed. Old disputes that and said he believes cleaning staff levels will return to their old, lower levels once the super cleans are finished, calling it Mike Old “a temporary Band-Aid fix” to a long-term problem. He called the controversy over CDI infections at Fraser in recent weeks a sign the government’s move to privatize hospital cleaning a decade ago was a failure. He suggested the health authority would be better off if it ran housekeeping services directly. “Fraser Health wears it when something goes wrong, but they don’t control it,” Old said. “They need to fix it.” He said regular audits of hospital cleaners that are designed to reassure the public are flawed. “Burnaby Hospital passed their cleaning audit at the very time they were having a serious C.difficile outbreak,” Old said. Welsh said Fraser is working with its housekeeping partners to refine its protocol of how to respond to future cases of bacterial infection. Besides enhanced cleaning when warranted, she said the health authority’s main strategy is to focus on improved hand washing, and the appropriate use of antibiotics, which can, if overused, foster bacteria resistance. Fraser Health’s hospitals have averaged a C. difficile infection rate of 12.6 cases per 10,000 patient days so far in 2011-12 – more than double Health Canada’s national benchmark. Langley Memorial, Burnaby, Mission Memorial and Surrey Memorial have run an infection rate over 15 this fiscal year, while Fraser Health statistics show Royal Columbian’s is 14.4 and Peace Arch’s is 10.2.

“They’re taking cleaners from one health authority to deal with the problem in another health authority.”

GRANT PROGRAM

Power down this weekend Saturday’s Earth Hour takes place from 8:30-9:30 p.m. Black Press

IT’S TIME again to flick that switch. Earth Hour, a symbolic global event aimed at fighting climate change, is this Saturday (March 31) for 60 minutes beginning at 8:30 p.m. Residents are encouraged to show their support for energy conservation by turning off their lights, TVs and other electronics for an hour and instead, dine by candlelight, play board games or tell stories. Earth Hour began in 2007 in Sydney, Australia, when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned the lights off. A year later,

it spread to more than 50 million people across 35 countries, when well-known landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge and Rome’s Colosseum stood in darkness. More than a billion people in 135

countries now participate in the World Wildlife Fund-hosted event. But BC Hydro, which provides provincial support for the initiative, is hoping people will use Earth Hour as motivation to take action to reduce energy use year-round. If everyone in B.C. cut consumption for just one hour every evening, the combined savings would be enough to power 4,000 for an entire year. Last year 117 megawatt hours of electricity were saved as B.C. residents cut electricity consumption by 1.8 per cent during Earth Hour. Surrey was slightly below the average, dropping its usage by 1.5 per cent, while Delta was above the average at 2.1 per cent.

Apply for a Community Grant The City of Surrey is pleased to offer grants to support neighbourhood beautification and celebration. Through this program, Surrey residents, groups and associations can now apply to the City for financial grants to support neighbourhood beautification projects and community celebrations. Successful applicants match grant money with contributions of volunteer labour, donated materials, and/or cash.

Who can apply? All Surrey residents, community groups and associations can apply. Small business or groups of businesses will also be considered for street beautiﬁcation projects.

Three actors lead transparent lives in Central City Shopping Centre by Kevin Diakiw LILY LEE is a yoga instructor

who owns a two-bedroom and den suite. She has a live-in boyfriend, John Rossi, who is a part-time bartender and actor. But their uncomplicated existence is about to change. On Monday, a friend – Parminder Gill – burst into the suite after being dumped by her boyfriend and will be living with the couple for the next 45 days. These are characters in an elaborate “real-time, e-drama real estate campaign” unfolding for all to see over the next six-and-a-half weeks at Central City Shopping Centre in North Surrey. Three local actors – Leana Yu (playing Lee); Jas Dhillon (Gill); and John Perrotta (Rossi) will spend 10 hours daily in an apartment unit with glass walls in the middle of the mall for 45 days. The live theatre is part of an ad campaign for a new condo development being built not far from Central City. The glass unit is a model of an apartment in the Wave, a $155-million, 500-suite multi-

The two-bedroom and den suite the actors are living in will retail for $209,900, while smaller units will start at $179,900. In the glass unit at the mall, there is no running water, and the stove isn’t functional, but otherwise, the characters will

be fully interacting within the suite. Microphones and cameras throughout the space ensure viewers catch all the action by live stream over the Internet. The marketing campaign is the brainchild of Pilothouse Real Estate Marketing. “LiveatWave” involves the three full-time actors, eight

secondary actors, a full-time CBC scriptwriter, a live set, a video and lighting production team and web streaming. “Typical campaigns allocate most of their budget to advertising,” said Bill Morrison, president of Pilothouse. “Our approach is to utilize social media to present actors in a real-life setting to keep the client’s product front and centre. With LiveatWave, the condo and how people live within it is the real story.” Morrison said the exercise is a way of showing how people living in the suite would interact with it. Pilothouse’s Jenn Currie said it’s the first time a campaign of this nature has been tried. Developer Rize Alliance approached Pilothouse some months ago and said it wanted something new and interactive. Currie said interest in the reality event has been extremely good, and preregistration for suites has been brisk. The Wave development is expected to be completed in 2015.

Furniture recycling fee pushed by Metro Point-of-purchase charge urged for mattresses, couches by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER wants the

province to make furniture retailers add a recycling fee to the price of each mattress or couch they sell. Local cities say a fee at the point of purchase is needed to battle the illegal dumping of mattresses that has occurred since the regional district banned them from landfills and started charging a $20 fee to recycle the ones that arrive at transfer stations for disposal. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan blames Metro staff for putting the ban and disposal fee in place in January of 2011 without giving enough thought to the unintended consequences. He said residents who need to get rid of old mattresses dump them to avoid paying the $20 and cities end up paying their crews to clean up the mess. “The reality is they’re going to dump it in laneways and ravines and anywhere they can,” said Corrigan, who raised the issue at a meeting of Metro’s Zero Waste committee Wednesday. “You’ve just cost us a whole bunch of money,” he told Metro managers, adding Burnaby also

has to pay a recycling fee for each recovered mattress city crews take to recyclers. “It’s not chump change.” It’s a similar story in Surrey, where city officials say illegal dumping of mattresses skyrocketed from about 10 a week to more than 80 after Metro introduced the $20 fee. It became so cumbersome, Surrey now offers to pick up mattresses from homes as part of the city’s large item pick-up program, for absolutely no cost to the homeowner. Residents can call 604-635-5478 to have large items picked up. “It costs us a lot more, as you would imagine, to pick up a mattress that’s all waterlogged at the bottom of a ditch than to have a truck go around and pick them up in a scheduled fashion,” said Vincent Lalonde, Surrey’s general manager of engineering. The illegal dumping is still prevalent, with an average of 43 mattresses being found abandoned every week in Surrey. Three local recyclers processed more than 100,000 old mattresses last year that were diverted to them after the new regulations kicked in.

Metro solid waste department manager Paul Henderson said the region has previously asked the provincial government to consider imposing a recycling fee on new mattresses and large furniture items such as couches. The charge would eliminate the need for a disposal fee and hopefully end most of the illegal dumping. He said it would follow in line with B.C.’s other product stewardship programs that impose fees to ensure recycling of home electronics and old tires. Metro staff say they’ve been told the province is strongly considering a mattress disposal fee but had given no signal of when it might be implemented. The committee voted to have the Metro board endorse an advance recycling fee for mattresses and other large furniture items. Henderson described the mattress ban as a “learning opportunity” for regional district staff, who he said will carefully consider the lessons learned before implementing more planned disposal bans on organics and wood in the future.

Polygamy ruling stands THE B.C. government will rely on a B.C. Supreme

Court ruling upholding Canada’s law against multiple marriages as it continues to investigate the polygamous community of Bountiful. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced Monday that the province will not continue its reference case to the Supreme Court of Canada. B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bauman ruled

in November 2011 that the law against polygamy is an acceptable intrusion into the constitutional right to freedom of religion. Charges against Winston Blackmore and James Oler, rival leaders of the Bountiful community, were dismissed on a legal technicality by another B.C. judge in 2009. Blackmore was charged with having 19 wives and Oler three wives. Bond said special prosecutor Peter Wilson’s mandate has been expanded to include possible prosecutions, based on Bauman’s decision. The RCMP have been investigating the Bountiful situation for more than 20 years. The Fundamentalist Church of Latter-Day Saints split with the mainstream Mormon church a century ago rather than renounce multiple marriage. The B.C. community was established in the 1940s.

Altercation leads to hit-and-run South Surrey incident leaves one man seriously injured, another facing charges by Dan Ferguson AN ALTERCATION

outside a corner store near Crescent Park last Friday night has left one man seriously injured and another facing charges related to a hitand-run. Surrey RCMP say the

two men â&#x20AC;&#x201C; both local residents who knew each other but whom police arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t identifying publicly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had arranged to meet that evening in the parking lot of a small convenience store at 128 Street and 25 Avenue on March 23. At around 9 p.m., the

two got into a violent confrontation, police said, and as one man drove away, he hit the other with his vehicle. The victim, 49, was transported to hospital by helicopter from Elgin Park Secondary, and a 25-year-old was arrested for leaving the

scene of an accident and may face other charges, police said, noting the suspect eventually called police. Store owner Keith Ro said a shocked customer who witnessed the incident told him that what began as a physical confrontation ended with one man striking the other with his car, then driving away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They were arguing, then they hit each other,â&#x20AC;? Ro said.

When the vehicle hit the man, the impact made a loud noise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard a bang,â&#x20AC;? said local resident Stephanie Ursell, who lives across the street. Area resident Alec Lajoie observed considerable police activity at nearby Crescent Park Elementary, counting at least three police cruisers and an ambulance. As Lajoie drove back from the school past the convenience store, he saw the parking lot of

the small store had been marked off-limits with yellow police tape, there were orange marker cones on the road and a police cruiser on the scene was apparently holding someone in the backseat. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I could see the officer (standing outside) shining a light into the car,â&#x20AC;? Lajoie said. Another similar, but unrelated, Surrey hitand-run happened the same evening around midnight at the location

of a house party near 133A Street and 102 Avenue. A teenage girl was reportedly hit by a car that drove at a group of pedestrians after some objects were thrown at the vehicle. Her injuries were not considered lifethreatening. RCMP said one person, a young woman, was arrested and faces a charge of dangerous driving causing bodily harm.

Man reverses child porn guilty plea South Surrey man facing charges of possessing and accessing child pornography by Dan Ferguson A SOUTH Surrey man

has gone to court to withdraw his guilty plea on charges of possessing and accessing child pornography. Douglas Wayne Bowers filed an affidavit to support his application in Surrey Provincial Court Modern & Affordable last Wednesday.

The next day, while Bowers watched from the visitors’ gallery, his new lawyer, Robert Doran, and prosecutor Jodie Harris appeared before Judge Michael Hicks to work out how the matter will proceed. Because the hearing of the application will review the process that led to Bowers’ guilty plea in

December 2010, it is possible that Harris and Bowers’ former defence lawyer, Gordon Welock, could be called to give evidence, the court was told. Harris said that may mean another Crown lawyer would have to take over the case. A change of plea from guilty to not guilty is allowed for a number of

reasons, such as where an accused was not given good legal advice, not represented by experienced counsel, did not understand the nature of the charge or had a defence that should have been argued and wasn’t. While the exact arguments advanced by Bowers’ affidavit were not discussed in detail during the hearing, Hicks, who read the document before coming to court, said part of it appeared to deal with “advice he (Bowers) did not receive.” The hearing of the application has been scheduled for April 30. The original information against the 62-yearold Bowers was sworn in September 2009 after an investigation by the RCMP’s Integrated Child Exploitation Team found

a man they called a “prolific distributor of child sexual abuse images and video online.” While a teenage B.C. victim was identified, police found no indication Bowers was involved in the production of child pornography. Bowers pleaded guilty shortly before his threeday trial was scheduled to begin on Dec. 13, 2010. At the time, he maintained he accidentally downloaded child porn while visiting adultpornography websites. “I did download porn… but you get everything,” Bowers told Peace Arch News. “I didn’t know how to get rid of it.” He denied he distributed the child-porn images and said he had “absolutely” no intention

of viewing them. “Child porn is sexual abuse, and I know the devastating effect of sexual abuse,” he said. “I was sexually abused as a child... It’s a devastating thing.” Bowers said police told him they identified him through monitoring LimeWire, a peer-to-peer file-sharing program. He turned himself in to police after learning a warrant had been issued for his arrest. He said he pleaded guilty on the advice of his lawyer. Bowers’ sentencing hearing was postponed last year after he objected to a pre-sentence report that said he deliberately downloaded illegal porn. He denied making any Google searches for that material, Welock told the court last fall. He

also noted other people had access to Bowers’ computer. At the time, Welock told the court his client wasn’t trying to change his guilty plea to not guilty. Outside court, Welock said Bowers was only making a “little denial” that went to the issue of intent. In 2001, Bowers led a campaign to have a local skateboard park named after his son, Dave Bowers, who died after hitting his head in a snowboarding fall on Mount Seymour. At the time of his 2010 guilty plea, Bowers said that in the years since his son’s death, he withdrew socially and became depressed, and that his surviving son hasn’t spoken to him since the child pornography arrest.

Metro incinerator may not have inside track, critic concedes Rules will apply for other waste-to-energy technologies by Jeff Nagel ONE CRITIC OF garbage incineration says sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now

more optimistic Metro Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategy to procure a new waste-to-energy plant for the region could lead to alternative technologies being used. Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said she does not believe the process now advancing is skewed in favour of a conventional incinerator over emerging low-emission technologies like gasification. Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board earlier this month agreed to reduce the proposed capacity of the new plant from the 500,000 to 600,000 tonnes previously envisioned to between 250,000 and 400,000 tonnes in light of declining garbage volumes. The board also decided it would issue a single request for proposals later this year to handle all the garbage, rather than two bid calls with one reserved only for alternative technologies. Some directors had previously warned that one winner-take-all process would inevitably favour incineration, which has better efficiencies of scale. But Reimer said she thinks the decision is the right one. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea of splitting into two streams, while it guarantees a tonnage for more appropriate technologies, also necessarily guarantees a minimum tonnage for mass burn incineration,â&#x20AC;? Reimer said. She said the final decision on whether incineration or alternative technologies are used would heavily depend on the bid evaluation criteria,

which Metro has yet to determine. Reimer and other directors on Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waste management committee have asked if the proposed plant might be shrunk further â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and whether it may not be needed at all in light of improved recycling. They also want more detail on the potential risks and mitigation strategy before finalizing the procurement process. Board chair Greg Moore also said he believes the alternative technologies may do better now that the size of the project has been reduced, eliminating much of the advantage for incinerator proposals. Many Fraser Valley residents and politicians believe any new incinerator would worsen local air quality and strongly oppose the idea. Metro already has an incinerator in south Burnaby that converts close to 300,000 tonnes of garbage per year into electricity and steam for industry. The regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waste strategy calls for it to stop sending garbage to the Cache Creek Regional Landfill. Proponents seeking to build a new waste-toenergy plant are expected to propose multiple sites both in the Metro Vancouver area and at locations outside the region, such as a former pulp mill on the west side of Vancouver Island. Surrey, Burnaby, New Westminster and the Tsawwassen First Nation have all expressed some interest in hosting a new plant. Metro garbage volumes fell from 1.3 million tonnes in 2007 to just one million last year.

Officer shoots at car Acura tries to run down Mountie during routine stop

Black Press SURREY MOUNTIES are on the

hunt for a 1995 white Acura, after its driver tried to run over an officer in Whalley last Wednesday. The officer was approaching

the vehicle for a routine check on March 21 at about 10 a.m., when the vehicle began to race toward him. The officer unholstered his side arm and fired a round into the vehicle, which continued to flee.

The officer is uninjured, and it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appear the driver of the vehicle was hit by the bullet. Anyone who has seen the Acura, perhaps with a bullet hole in it, is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

National SAM awards presented to local companies

GVHBA members honoured in Quebec The Canadian Home Builders’ Association held its 69th annual convention on March 17 in Mont Tremblant, Quebec, and four Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association members were among the winners of the National SAM Awards. “The awards ... recognize outstanding performance in new homes and renovation design, innovative technology and construction techniques, and outstanding marketing and sales activities,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. Portrait Homes was the recipient of the Community Development Award, which recognizes excellent achievement

in creating an attractive, exciting and innovative community for its development Silver Ridge. Adera Development Corporation won the New Home Award for best multi-family project for zen (Salus phase C and D), while Harald Koehn Construction won a Home Renovation Award in the Any Room category. TQ Construction was also honoured with a Home Renovation Award in the Addition category. “Winning a National SAM Award is a major accomplishment within our industry,” CHBA President Ron Olson says. “Every award recognizes an outstanding success.”

Townline was nominated for Best Townhome/Rowhome Development: Less than 2,000 square feet for its project Clayton Rise, while Boffo is nominated for Best Multi-Family Highrise Development for Jewel.

Adera is a finalist for the FortisBC Award for Excellence in Energy Efficiency for New Construction with its seven35 project in North Vancouver. The awards will be handed out on April 28.

Honouring local builders

GVHBA announces Ovation Award nominees by Kerry Vital

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will be giving a standing Ovation to its finalists at its third annual Ovation Awards next month, which honour excellence in new home and renovation design, construction, accessibility, sustainability, affordability, energy efficiency and heritage restoration. The list of finalists in 41 categories was released last week. Among the group is Kenorah Construction & Design, ParkLane Homes, Portrait Homes and My House Design/Build Team, among many others. “Last year, Vancouver-area homebuilders spent nearly $4 billion on home renovation, and builders started construction on 17,867 new homes,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. “Residential construction is a major contributer to Metro Vancouver’s economy and the GVHBA is delighted to partner with FortisBC and the Homeowner Protection Office to honour the industry’s brightest stars.” ParkLane Homes reigns as the topnominated builder, with 13 finalist nominations including Multi-Family Builder of the Year, Single-Family Builder of the Year and Best SingleFamily Detached Home: 3,000 square feet and over. The nominations are spread over several ParkLane communities, including Headwater at Bedford Landing, Time at Walnut Grove and Winchester. Portrait Homes has been nominated for seven awards, including Best SingleFamily Detached Home: Less than 2,000 square feet and Best Townhome/ Rowhome Development: Less than 2,000 square feet. “As a long-standing member of the GVHBA, Portrait Homes is very proud of have received these seven Ovation Award nominations,” says Vice-President of Marketing and Sales

Troy Steine. “Receiving recognition at this level would not have been made possible without the dedication and commitment from each and every one of us here on the Portrait Homes team. ... We will continually strive to improve the design and finishing of our homes, our service to our clients and our overall customer experience.” Several other builders appear among the finalists, including British Pacific Properties, Townline Group of Companies, Boffo Developments and Adera Development Corporation. British Pacific Properties was nominated for Best Single-Family Home: 3,000 square feet and over for its Highgrove – Whitby Estates showhome and Best Townhome/ Rowhome Development: 2,000 square feet and over for Aerie.

Buy a Power Smart home, save three ways

Save now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efďŹ cient. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, an energyefďŹ cient home is more comfortable too. Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to think about when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying a new home. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home. Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Smart New Home program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.â&#x20AC;? An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy. The first benefit youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Buying an energy-efďŹ cient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Smart New Home program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.â&#x20AC;?

Insurance. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money in your pocket every month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more. The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs. There are other benefits as well, Overholt says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while using less energy overall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.â&#x20AC;? The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy. For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.

NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home. Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home. And since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all while saving you money for years to come.

Surrey minor hockey teams complete play at provincial championships

Colts second in B.C. play by Nick Greenizan

SEVEN LOCAL minor hockey teams – including three from the Surrey Female Hockey Association (SFHA) – had their eyes on a provincial title last week, competing at B.C. Hockey championships throughout the province. The Cloverdale Colts found success on the ice during the Bantam Tier 1 competition in Kamloops, finishing second after a 6-5 loss to the Burnaby Winter Club in the championship game. Prior to the loss to BWC, the Colts dispatched Prince George 7-1 in semifinals, and prior to that, defeated the Victoria Racquet Club 7-4; Kelowna 4-1; Kamloops 8-2; and Burnaby Winter Club 5-3 to finish the round robin as the lone unbeaten team. The SFHA’s Surrey Falcons also had a successful week. The Falcons Pee Wee squad finished in second place, dropping a narrow 1-0 game to the North Shore in Thursday’s final. The Falcons went undefeated in the six-game round-robin portion of the tournament, held in Richmond, defeating Vancouver Island 6-1; Prince George 9-0; Rossland-Trail 1-0; Vernon 2-0; and Richmond 2-1. On the second day of the tourney, the Falcons tied North Shore 3-3. In addition to their silver-medal provincial showing, the Falcons are the reigning Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association champs, having defeated the North Shore 2-1 in the finals earlier this month. The Bantam female Falcons also had a good week, placing fourth at the 10-team provincials in Victoria. Surrey went 2-3-1 (won-lost-tied) in round-robin action, before advancing to the bronze-medal game, where they lost 2-1 to the North Shore. Ashley Long scored for Surrey. The Falcons started strong, defeating the North Island Edge 6-1. Long netted four goals, with Natalie Richardson and Tianna Nijjar adding singles. In the team’s second game, Long and Tagen Rossner each scored in a 3-2 loss to Kelowna, and the next day, Long had a hattrick in a 5-5 tie with Terrace – a game in which the Falcons erased a two-goal, thirdperiod deficit. Mandy Pollack and Jazmine Bal also scored for Surrey.

Chris Seto of the Cloverdale Colts sends the puck past Kamloops netminder Josh Shank in an 8-2 win last week at the Bantam Tier 1 BC Hockey championships in Kamloops. Pollack had two more goals, with Long and Madison Eaton notching singles, in a 4-3 win over Cranbrook Tuesday. On Wednesday, the Falcons fell 5-1 to Prince George in semifinal action, with Kaitlyn Korman scoring the Falcons’ lone goal. The Surrey Falcons Midget female squad went 3-3 in their tournament in Salmon Arm, with wins over Salmon Arm, Whitehorse and Vancouver Island, and losses to Windermere Valley, Richmond and Kelowna. Two Semiahmoo Minor Hockey teams also battled for a B.C. title last week, as the

Ravens’ Peewee and Bantam A3 squads competed in their respective Tier 3 tournaments. The Semi Pee Wees lost their first game, 6-2 to Quesnel, and followed with a 9-3 loss to Vanderhoof the next afternoon. On Tuesday, the Ravens dropped their third, losing 9-1 to eventual-champions Whistler. Semiahmoo finished the tournament, which was held in Quesnel, with a 5-5 tie with Vancouver Island’s Kerry Park Islanders. Semiahmoo’s Bantam A3 squad man-

aged a 1-2-1 round-robin record at provincials, held at Burnaby Winter Club, but were ousted from playoff contention last Wednesday after a 6-3 loss to Terrace. Semiahmoo’s one win came last Monday, 6-5 over Kamloops. In the Juvenile provincials, held at Seafair in Richmond, the Surrey Thunder went 2-1-2 in the six-team event, which was won by Richmond, who defeated Seafair 3-1 in the final. The Thunder played to a 2-2 tie with Seafair, and lost 5-3 to Richmond.

Phantom capture B.C. banner

Surrey’s allstars to tip off at Enver

Midget AAA female hockey team to playoff with Alberta by Gary Ahuja

THE FRASER VALLEY Phantom are one step closer to a spot at the Canadian national championships. The girls midget AAA hockey team captured the provincial championship on Sunday at the Walnut Grove Sportsplex, downing the visiting Thompson-Okanagan Rockets 6-1 in game three of the best-of-three playoff series. The teams had split the first two games of the weekend series, with the Phantom winning 2-1 in overtime on Friday night before the Rockets stayed alive on Saturday afternoon thanks to a 4-3 victory. “This year has kind of been a fairy tale year for us,” said Ray Werger, the Phantom general manager and president. “The last couple of seasons, we went through rebuilding.” The team is made up of midget hockey players from the Fraser Valley and parts of the Lower Mainland. Five Surrey residents are on the team – forwards Mackenzie Wong, Caitlyn Younger and Simran Sidhu, defender Jessica Golz and goaltender Laticia Castillo. Sidhu tallied twice in the deciding game Sunday, with Wong scoring once and assisting on two others. Younger

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich As our learned friend Don (Grapes) Cherry would say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You gotta love it!â&#x20AC;? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not to love about a story involving a group of 5-pin bowlers pooling their money to buy a standardbred and take a shot at having some fun at Fraser Downs Racetrack. Actually, Gloria Rosvold and Tim Wiesner werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t new to the racing game. They had both owned pacers in the past and were looking to get back into the business. If the truth be known, Gloria was the catalyst. Avid bowlers, Rosvold and Wiesner had a captive audience when they approached their weekly 5-pin partners about purchasing a horse. Bob and Linda Featherstone, along with son Jim, as well as Pam Plunkett were willing investors. The next step would be to ďŹ nd a trainer and subsequently a horse. In the end, the group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; calling itself Kashback Stables - selected Gord Abbott to be their trainer and Gordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son John to drive. They decided against claiming and made a private purchase of 4-year-old Midnight Destroyer in mid-February. In his ďŹ rst start for his new owners Midnight Destroyer ďŹ nished a rallying second in a $4,500 claimer. The owners were so impressed they elected to try a $9,000 claimer in his next start and he won it. The following week was a start at the same level and he ďŹ nished third after starting from the seven hole. Not bad, they ďŹ gured â&#x20AC;Ś a win, a second and a third in three starts. Onward and upward, the owners said, and last Sunday Midnight Destroyer won a $15,000 claimer in a career-best time of 1:54. Talk about a bunch of bowling buddies throwing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;strikesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Things like this donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen often but like our high-collared television pal would say: â&#x20AC;&#x153;You gotta love itâ&#x20AC;?. The fun resumes at Fraser Downs Friday night at 7 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock and Sunday afternoon at 1:45. See you there. djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC

At other times, it can evaporate from a seemingly red-hot team at a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice.

Hockey League Coastal Conference final. The game came just two days after Surrey won a thrilling firstround series against Cowichan Valley that ended with Game 7 overtime goal from Eagles forward Brandon Tanev. And a day prior to the tilt with the Kings, Erhart said he was confident â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or at least hopeful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that the momentum from one series might give his squad a boost in the next. No such luck, unfortunately, as the offence

came to a screeching halt Tuesday at Hap Parker Arena. The Eagles managed just 26 shots on Kingsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; netminder Sean Maguire compared to 49 for Powell River on Surrey goalie Andrew Hunt â&#x20AC;&#x201C; though some BCHL barns are notorious for skewing the shot totals. The home team, who finished just three points up on the Eagles in the regular season, got on the board first Tuesday when Brendan MacDonald beat Hunt, and Powell River stretched its lead to 3-0 by the

second intermission on goals from Cohen Adair and Evan Richardson, who both have six points in seven playoff games. The Eagles had the opportunity to tie the series with Game 2 Wednesday, but results were not available by press deadline. After being held off the scoresheet in the series opener, Erhart may be tempted to shuffle his lineup to some degree for Game 2 and beyond. With both clubs so familiar with each other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; they played seven times in

the regular season and in playoffs three of the last four years â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Erhart said before the series that he expected plenty of mid-series adjustments from both sides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fairly familiar with them and their personnel, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re familiar with us, too,â&#x20AC;? he said Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You set your team up as best you can, and then after Game 1, you usually make some more changes.â&#x20AC;?

Forgotten B.C. artist topic of Surrey talk Writer shares her research into the life and work of Mildred Valley Thornton Black Press WRITER SHERYL SALLOUM comes to the Surrey

next month to speak about an early female artist in B.C. – and it’s not Emily Carr. Forgotten for nearly 50 years, the full story of Mildred Valley Thornton (1890-1967) is available for the first time. On April 12 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the Thursday Artist Talk speaker series at the Surrey Art Gallery, Salloum will draw from her illustrated biography as she explores Thornton’s life and art. A distinctive painter skilled with watercolours and oils, Thornton completed approximately 300 portraits of First Nations peoples of Western Canada, and vibrant Canada landscapes. Along with the story of this adventurous artist, Salloum rigorously documents reasons why Thornton has been overlooked since her death. The talk will include images of the artist’s work. Admission is free. Born in Ontario, Thornton later moved to Regina, and then to Vancouver during the Depression. A fun-loving, driven, and outgoing individual, Thornton was also a journalist, a Vancouver Sun art critic (1944-1959), an award-winning author, an advocate for the rights and equality of women and Canada’s indigenous people, and a community supporter and innovator. Based in Vancouver, Salloum has been a freelance writer for over twenty years. She has published articles in numerous Canadian magazines and newspapers. Her areas of interest include

No more bus trips STANDING IN THE COLD has its perks, especially if you’re

Bhavya Sharma. The Kwantlen Polytechnic University student is the winner of the university’s SMARTEN UP campaign, offering students and the community the chance to win a car. Sharma is trading in his bus pass for the keys to a 2011 Smart ForTwo Coupe. “I’m so excited. I usually take the bus to school, and I won’t have to anymore. Today couldn’t get any better,” said Sharma, who was talking to his Mom on the phone for good luck when he successfully started the car. “The response to the campaign has been overwhelming,” said John McKendry, Kwantlen’s president and vice chancellor. “While the focus was on the university, new brand launch and a renewed commitment to the region as a polytechnic university, it had a wonderful outcome for Bhavya Sharma with his Bhavya. We are very pleased new car, a Smart ForTwo. and thank all those who made this a success, particularly our sponsors.” Kwantlen’s SMARTEN UP campaign ran from September to March and received more than 10,000 entries. From those entries, 10 finalists were randomly drawn, with one additional finalist being added at the Grand Prize Event held March 16. In the end, it was Sharma‘s key that started the car, therefore winning the grand prize.

Welding a new career by Nadia Ali STUDENTS AT THE Clover-

dale campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University showed off their welding skills to the public last Wednesday (March 21). Industry leaders say trades are becoming a more popular career choice for young men and women alike, including twin sisters Shmyla and Suveen Thandi, 21. They said they love everything about welding, especially the physical aspect of the work. “I always knew I was going to be doing something

Batting for Japan

Coquitlam’s Taiyo Boily, 7, spent three hours hitting baseballs at Surrey’s Bolivar Park recently. The boy and his family were living in Japan a year ago when the earthquake and tsunami hit, and he decided to help the country’s recovery efforts with this fundraiser. So far, the switch-hitter has raised more than $1,000 for Save the Children Canada, who have promised that all the money raised will go directly to their Japanese counterparts. HOW TO SUBMIT

Submissions for People can be faxed, or e-mailed. The Leader’s mailing address is #200-5450 152 St., Surrey, B.C., V3S 5J9. Fax: 604-575-2544. Email: bjoseph@surreyleader.com

in the trades, said Shmyla. “Since I was so active in high school, I knew I was going to enjoy a physical job the most.” There are many job opportunities in welding throughout the province, with the majority of work being done in manufacturing, pulp and paper, mining and others. The construction industry is the second-largest employer of welders in B.C., where workers build factories, buildings, bridges and towers. The third-largest employer is the oil and gas industry,

where welders work on pipelines and oil and gas rigs. The Kwantlen welding program offers students the needed training to become working welders upon graduation. The post-secondary school offers three levels of courses – A, B, and C. Students who complete the first two levels earn citations, while level C earns them a certificate upon successful completion. On average, it takes about three years to earn level C credentials, which then allows students to go on to entry-level jobs.

Fresh funding, fresh food IMAGINE LIVING every day filled

with the pain of hunger, never knowing when or where you’ll get your next meal. For thousands of Surrey residents, this situation is a sad reality of life. “It’s disheartening to know that a quarter of children in the province are living below the poverty line, and almost 20 percent of adults face food insecurity on a daily basis,” said Elizabeth Crudgington, executive director of the Quest Outreach Society, a non-profit organization that runs a low-cost grocery market in Whalley. The grocery market addresses hunger in a unique way: Clients who

Quest’s Elizabeth Crudgington (centre) with Envision Financial’s Lois Wilkinson and Peter Podovinikoff. are referred by local social service agencies can buy the food they need at significantly discounted prices as opposed to waiting in line at a food bank for a generic hamper. The result is more independence and dignity for those facing food

SECTION CO-ORDINATOR: BOAZ JOSEPH (PHONE 604-575-2744)

The instructors teach hands-on skills as well as welding theory, and apprenticeships are available for those who want them. When asked about how their parents felt about them choosing welding as a career, Suveen said, “They are fine with it, and happy that we do something we enjoy because other careers didn’t suit us.” For more information about the welding program and other trades and technology courses at Kwantlen’s Cloverdale campus, visit www. kwantlen.ca/cloverdale.

insecurity and other social issues. But with more than 65,000 visits last year alone, Quest soon found itself turning away donations and limiting the variety of products it could offer clients because of a lack of refrigeration space. “We had to get fresh food delivered from our Vancouver depot everyday, which increased costs and prevented us from accepting more donations from the community,” Crudgington said. But thanks to a $10,000 grant from the Envision Financial Community Endowment housed with the First West Foundation, Quest was able to install a walk-in refrigerator/freezer, helping Quest achieve its goal of rescuing 25 per cent more food from the community and also increase the number of client visits from 5,500 to 8,000 per month.

‘Bumspiel’ to raise awareness about colorectal cancer Surrey survivor invites public to curling event Saturday by Mario Bartel WHEN MOST people

survive cancer, they just want to put the disease and its gruelling treatment behind them. Not Surrey’s Deb Imada. That’s because her cancer was in her behind. And now she’s made it her mission to put colorectal cancer in the forefront of people’s minds. She’s doing that by organizing the second annual Bumspiel for Colorectal Cancer, to be held at the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster on Saturday (March 31). The event is a fundraiser for the Colorectal Cancer Association of Canada. But more importantly, Imada hopes it will raise awareness about the disease and how to survive it. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of death from cancer in Canadian men and women combined. Of the approximately 22,000 Canadians diagnosed with colorectal cancer last year, 8,900 will die from it. Those are grim numbers considering the disease is curable 90 per cent of the time – if it’s caught early. It’s that last part that hangs most people up, says Imada. It’s not easy to talk about your backside, and “people are so fearful about getting a colonoscopy.” In fact, cancer was the furthest thing from Imada’s mind when she went to her doctor to get checked out for a possible recurrence of

MARIO BARTEL / BLACK PRESS

Surrey’s Deb Imada warms up for the ‘bumspiel’ she’s organized to raise awareness and money for colorectal cancer research. The event is at the Royal City Curling Club in New Westminster on Saturday. the hemorrhoids that had plagued her after her son was born four years earlier. Her family had no history of colorectal cancer, she’d never had a problem with benign polyps, she was active, and she was only 43 years old – seven years younger than the primary risk group. But when her doctor said she felt a lump during her examination, Imada’s world turned upside down. Four months of tests, two surgeons and five days of radiation treatment later, the tumour was removed. “The waiting is the hardest part,” says Imada. “The whole time I felt like a ticking time bomb.” But her battle didn’t end there. Six months of chemotherapy stretched to eight. She suffered numerous side effects, including painful numb-

ness in her fingers and the bottoms of her feet. She says there were days she was so physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted, she couldn’t get out of bed. Regular screenings to ensure she remained clear of cancer are emotionally agonizing. She’ll continue to be screened for the rest of her life. During her battle with colorectal cancer, a colleague at work was also diagnosed with the disease and eventually died from it. That’s when she made a promise to him, and to herself, to help spread the word about the disease and the importance of early detection through regular screening. “It makes me mad when someone dies from this because it’s so curable,” Imada says. A recreational curler

at the Royal City Curling Club before she was diagnosed, Imada came up with the idea of a “bumspiel” because her son had shown interest in the sport while watching the 2010Winter Olympics. The clever play on words helped as well, she says. It’s a non-competitive event that Imada promises will be just as much fun for beginners as hardcore stonethrowers. It’s even attracted a team of four doctors from the Netherlands who specialize in colorectal cancer and found out about the bumspiel while searching the Internet. There will be door prizes as well as an award for the top fundraiser. To find out more, email Imada at bumspiel@ gmail.com or go to curling4coloncancer. weebly.com
