misses her dad, 12-year-old Lexus Burkholder-Whitmee made a public plea Wednesday for information leading to the arrest of those who killed him.

Christopher Whitmee was shot at about 11 p.m. May 16, 2009 in the washroom of the Legacy Showroom in the Clover Inn at 176 Street and 57 Avenue.

He was an innocent bystander in what was believed to have been a gang hit.

Whitmee’s daughter Lexus said Wednesday her dad won’t be there for her high school graduation, to teach her how to drive a car, or to help celebrate future birthdays.

“I have to miss out on a lot of things most kids don’t even have to think about, because of someone else’s decision to go out with a gun that night,” she said.

Then, according to a witness at the Sach Di Awaaz Newspaper office at 128 Street and 82 Avenue, the man saw 24-year-old Ravinder Kaur Bhangu and began to strike her with the axe. She tried to block the descending blade with her arms and started to scream.

Standing about three metres away, 70-year-old Narinder Nayar moved to stop the attacker.

“I heard someone is crying (and) I rushed to that,” the volunteer photographer said in an interview with The Leader Tuesday, adding he yelled at the man: “What are you doing?”

Charges against Surrey cop should be stayed, lawyer says Court delays cited as reason

A report released by the Vancouver Police Department recommends Transit Police establish permanent foot patrols to target the most crime-ridden SkyTrain stations and bus loops.

by Sheila Reynolds THE LAWYER for a Surrey RCMP officer accused of assaulting two civilians says the charges should be stayed because the case has taken too long to get to trial.

Surrey RCMP Const. Imran Saeed is charged with two counts of assault in relation to a May 2009 incident involving Surrey residents Chris Stojak and Christopher Gilmore.

Stojak was originally arrested (but never charged) for an alleged domestic disturbance where he was arguing with his common-law wife. Stojak claims he was placed in the back of a police cruiser and, unhappy with the way he was being treated, asked Gilmore to take pictures of the arrest.

Despite being handcuffed, Stojak also managed to dial 911 on his cellphone Maegan and when an ambulance Richards responded, Stojak claims Saeed punched him in the head in the back of the police cruiser. It’s also alleged Saeed threw Gilmore against a wall and slammed his head into it.

Saeed pleaded not guilty to the charges in June 2010 and his trial was originally scheduled for June 2011.

“(Surrey) has a history of being a problem child in this jurisdiction.”

Talk of scrapping Pattullo ‘frustrating’ Surrey Board of Trade wants new six-lane bridge, New West chamber unsure

by Jeff Nagel SURREY BUSINESS leaders are alarmed about

Cities debate the future of the Pattullo Bridge in an upcoming forum.

the growing talk in New Westminster that the aging Pattullo Bridge should be dismantled and not replaced, cutting off a key trade route over the Fraser River.

So the Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT) – which backs a new six-lane replacement bridge – hopes businesses will speak up about the importance of the corridor at a May 24 public meeting it’s hosting with the New Westminster Chamber of Commerce.

SBOT executive director Anita Huberman said it’s been “frustrating” to hear New

Westminster residents speak out for a smaller four-lane replacement or no bridge at all, adding she hopes those who attend learn more of the business perspective.

“They’re not being educated about the full economic picture,” she said. “It is a significant transportation link between New Westminster and Surrey.”

Huberman said good transportation is critical to moving the Surrey economy forward.

“We have 1,000 people a month moving into the city,” she said. “We’re trying to find businesses to move into the city to find well-paying jobs for these new people.”

In New Westminster, where concern runs

strong that a bigger bridge will intensify local congestion, Huberman’s counterparts have not yet taken a position.

“We want to hear from the business community what their recommendations are before taking more of a solid position,” New Westminster chamber executive director Cori Lynn Germiquet said.

The Pattullo Bridge Business Dialogue runs from 10 a.m. to 12 noon Thursday, May 24 at the Fraser River Discovery Centre in New Westminster at 788 Quayside Drive.

TransLink will be on hand to give a presentation on the options for the bridge.

However, shortly before the trial was to proceed, a second RCMP investigation was conducted – a process Imran’s defence lawyer Maegan Richards said is largely to blame for the 30-month court delay.

“Nothing really came of the second investigation – I think that’s a fair way of saying it,” said Richards, noting many of the witness interviews were duplicated.

But Crown prosecutor Wayne Norris argued that just because nothing new was revealed, doesn’t mean the second investigation wasn’t necessary. He said it came to light that there were other officers on scene who may have had something to say, and they needed to be included.

“The purpose was not to shore

up the Crown’s case... it was to ensure the investigation was done thoroughly, completely and without bias,” Norris said, adding the outcome could very well have benefited the accused. “The fact that nothing came forward... was simply the way it turned out.”

He also argued that due to recent public distrust in the police complaint process – “police investigating police” – a charge against an RCMP officer is under greater scrutiny than a civilian case.

Norris added concerns about memory loss are also unique for Saeed because as a police officer, he is trained to take thorough notes.

Richards also referred to the lack of resources and chronic backlog at the Surrey courthouse, where there is an average 16- to 18-month delay in setting trials (the standard

is eight to 10 months).

“We have a history of being a problem child in this jurisdiction,” said Richards. But, she added, the site-specific problems should not be an acceptable excuse for violating a person’s right to be tried in a reasonable amount of time.

Saeed, who had two years on patrol at the time of the incident, has been on administrative duties since 2009.

Judge Roy Dickey is expected to deliver a decision on the application to stay charges on June 4.

Saeed is also facing a separate assault charge in connection to a February 2009 incident where he and another RCMP officer are accused of using excessive force against a woman during a routine traffic stop. That trial is scheduled to begin June 11.

Lexus: ‘I miss him every single day’ From page 1 “I miss him every single day... I don’t want anyone to have to go through what I’m going through.”

Two things about Chris Whitmee are certain: he loved his daughter, and he loved cars.

The day Lexus was born, she was given the name Chanelle. As Chris held the day-old child, while he was looking out the hospital window, a Lexus pulled up.

That moment, her name was changed forever.

Three years ago, Whitmee walked into the washroom at a club in Cloverdale followed by a gangster with a gun. Once again, Lexus’ life was inalterably changed.

“It’s hard, because I know if he wasn’t there that

night he would probably still be with us,” Lexus said. “It’s hard to think that something could have changed my whole life.”

Heather Brecht said her daughter wakes up in the morning and carries on like Chris is still here. One of the toughest things she had to do was Chris tell Lexus that death is final. He isn’t Whitmee coming back.

Surrey RCMP inspector honoured Black Press SURREY RCMP Insp. Trent Rolfe was

awarded the prestigious Order of Merit of the Police Forces at a special ceremony in Ottawa in recognition of his outstanding contributions to policing.

Rolfe has been with Surrey detachment since 2009 and has been a Mountie for 23 years.

During that time, he served on the

RCMP’s Unsolved Homicide Unit and directed B.C.’s Integrated Gang Task Force as operations officer during a sustained flareup of Lower Mainland gang violence.

Rolfe was also part of the first criminal organization prosecutions in B.C., setting a precedent for wiretaps in such cases and leading to national Insp. Trent Rolfe

training standards.

The Order of Merit of the Police Forces is an honour based on the highest qualities of citizenship, service to Canada, to the police community and to humanity at large.

Governor General David Johnston presented the award May 9.

Nayar: ‘... just trying to help’ From page 1 Nayar tried to grab the assailant, but received a sharp blow to his left shoulder from the axe.

Undeterred, the senior came again at the attacker, who chopped at him a second time in the back of his shoulder with the axe.

Nayar remembers wondering why he was drenched with sweat, only learning later he was covered in his own blood.

Weakened and in pain, he fell back and went to call for the owner of the newspaper.

When he returned, the young woman he considered a daughter was motionless on the ground, her attacker now subdued by police.

Nayar was taken away by ambulance and treated for his wounds.

He learned later that Bhangu was dead.

On the back wall of Nayar’s Newton basement suite, several plaques and commendations hang in honour of his actions that day.

He would trade them all, he says, if he could just bring Bhangu back.

“She was extremely good as a human being.

She respected me just like her father,” he said.

Nayar used to put in full days at the newspaper. On the day of the murder, he was sorting through photographs to choose which ones

would run in the next edition of the paper.

He still volunteers, but only for an hour or so a day – the memories are too painful.

He rejects suggestions his actions were heroic.

“I was just trying to help her, that she should be alive,” Nayar said. “She should not die.”

Nayar, now 71, was recognized for his valour at the annual RCMP Officer in Charge Awards at the Surrey Arts Centre on Tuesday night.

Ravinder Bhangu “Mr. Nayar’s heroic actions during this tragic incident bring credit to him and are in keeping with the highest standards of a Canadian citizen,” police said in a statement.

The two officers who attended the scene were also recognized for their bravery.

When police arrived, the assailant dropped the weapon on their command, but did not comply when they told

him to get on the ground.

RCMP Constables Ranjit Seehra and Daniel Barros repeated the command to get on the floor to no avail. Seehra physically subdued the man and took him down.

Twenty-seven-yearold Manmeet Singh, Bhangu’s husband, was arrested at the scene and subsequently charged with first-degree murder.

He also faces charges of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon.

Last month, after a three-day preliminary hearing in Surrey Provincial Court, he was ordered to stand trial.

His next court appearance is today (May 17) in New Westminster.

Nayar and the officers were just three of 100 people who received honours for acts of bravery at Tuesday’s event.

Some of the others included: • Maria Markham, Elizabeth Nichols, and William Penalosa, for their efforts in detaining a male suspect in a violent robbery, Jan. 6, 2011.

• Constables Cameron Clements, Nicholas De Winter, Jean-Francois Lapierre, Deryk Roberts, and Eric Warawa for their actions in dealing with the unfolding scene of a murder and attempted murder on April 24, 2011.

• Const. Jason Raaflaub and Cpl. Reg Ratelle for their work in resuscitating a man from

drowning on Sept. 24, 2011.

• Alyssa Boles-Aspol and Taylor Jordan for interrupting and preventing the further sexual assault of a female victim on May 18, 2011.

• Const. Adriano Di Nella, Cpl. Kirk Duncan, Cpl. Mike Hall, Const.

Gerard Kopperud, Sgt. Julie Moss, Const.

Lyndsay O’Ruairc, Sgt. Dave Strachan, and Const. Pamela Vinh for their performance in conducting two complex and difficult unsolved homicide investigations that occurred in June and August of 2000.

• Cpl. Rob Dalphond, Const. Steve Gilray, Const. Marc Kinden, Sgt. Gary Rodricks, Const.

Glenn Stuckless, Const.

Eric Velcich, and Const.

Ryan Walsh for their investigation into a series of break-and-enter thefts that occurred in the summer months of 2011.

• Richard Brousseau, Const. Marc-Andre Daigle, Const. Stefan Moxness and Nola Tait for their role in assisting a suicidal female on Jan. 26, 2012.

• Christopher Collins for his part in capturing a suspect who fled from a motor vehicle accident on Dec. 3, 2011.

• Const. Catherine MacDonald for her significant volunteer service to youth in the cities of Surrey and White Rock.

HandyDart service being shortchanged Existing areas need attention

THE ONGOING struggles that HandyDart cli-

ents are suffering can be directly attributed to a lack of service hours.

The disabled and senior users of the system had to fight TransLink and the provincial government to get rid of eight contracts that posed ridiculous barriers. It took 30 years to provide a training program that truly met the needs of HandyDart passengers. Three decades was too long to struggle for a basic human right.

Now TransLink is forced by continual

downloading by the provincial government and financial mismanagement to find cost savings. Now disabled people and seniors are asked to pay. Constant cries that there is no money is never questioned despite massive cost overruns, executive raises and corporate tax cuts.

Sadly, rather than recognizing there is money to provide a service that saves the health care system money, the ridership are being asked to accept that taxis are a feasible solution. It is a ludicrous suggestion that

investing heavily in training process for taxi drivers could replace the intensive regimen of training and evaluation that HandyDart drivers go through yearly.

It is short-sighted and unfair for TransLink to plan to cut HandyDart hours and increase taxi hours in the next three years. The provincial government must stop its drive to feed the one-per-cent’s pockets and making the least able in society pay for necessary services.

Legalizing pot won’t stop gangs RE: “PROHIBITION won’t stop teen pot use.”

I read with interest Evan Woods’ letter in the May 8 edition of The Leader and just had to say something.

We hear the same old explanations for legalization all the time – how liquor prohibition didn’t work, how gang violence is increasing, how teens seek the “forbidden fruit” and all these points are true, but there are other things to consider.

Alcohol and tobacco are currently legal and regulated and yet teens do seek them out along with pot. If pot was regulated then the use would continue, but using Woods’ argument about forbidden fruit, you would see a definite increase in the use of other drugs.

Legalizing drugs like meth or ecstasy cannot happen because they are in fact dangerous chemical cocktails and so should remain illegal.

Gangs by the way did not put down their guns and violence when alcohol prohibition ended, did they? Even if all drugs were legal, gangs would still be around making money on gambling scams, extortion, human trafficking, identity theft, etc. They would just ramp up these other things to make up for lost profits in pot sales.

The way things are now, simple possession is ignored unless it is for dealing, and dealers are criminalized. This is how it should be.

Many voices are calling for the legalization of pot. One wonders, are these people on drugs?

The myths of ending marijuana prohibition

RE: “EIGHT mayors echo call for marijuana reform.”

Hallelujah! After four former B.C. attorneys

general have joined four former Vancouver mayors endorsing an end to marijuana prohibition, eight sitting B.C. mayors have now “echoed” the clarion call for marijuana reform.

Legalize, regulate and tax pot and presto gang-related violent crime in our communities and fear among our citizens would disappear.

But wait, that’s not all. The collateral benefit of a “potted” Canada will be of having solved, virtually overnight, Canada’s problem of declining tourism from south of the border and elsewhere.

Just think of the enormous tourism potential of a mass influx of drug-deprived folks descending on the “True North, Strong and Free and Legally Drugged,” pouring untold millions of muchneeded dollars into our struggling economy... with many undoubtedly wishing to stay permanently.

Indeed, that’s the kind of “stimulus” (pun intended) that would really help us all get through these hard economic times with a “buzz.”

On a less euphoric note, however, the myths and fallacies of ending marijuana prohibition are many. Here are just two, as outlined by the Canadian Police Association: Myth #1: Legalization will drive the crime rate down.

Myth #2 Organized crime would be reduced if drugs were legalized.

While the proponents of marijuana legalization may consider the above mere “police propaganda,” I would nevertheless join Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts in challenging them to provide us with a view of whatever “reality” they are coming from.

No more MPs needed Plenty of room I AGREE with letter writer Makayla Yendrys (in the May 8 Leader) that we shouldn’t have more MPs. Today’s communications technology has made it easier for our MPs to stay in contact with their constituents. All we need is updating to the constituencies’ boundaries.

With the federal government running serious deficits, layoffs and cutbacks in services,

we shouldn’t add costs we can avoid. We need a government which spends our money wisely.

And we do not need ministers who pay $16 for a glass of juice while for that money we come home with a gallon of the same stuff. Any minister who spends our money like that needs to be replaced. They all should spend our money like it is their own.

Provincially we are short of money for education, health care, infrastructure, etc.

Only efficiency and wise spending will get us out of the hole. Let the MPs lead the way.

Thanks to Makayla for showing interest in government spending and where the priorities should be.

for improvement

PEOPLE LIKE myself have been paying all the fares and taxes in

order to support our public transit and roads, but I’ve seen no improvement on any major highway or local roads, and some of them even have cracks and potholes all over them.

Also, many buses and SkyTrains I’ve been riding have no improvement and tend to be bumpy and noisy right from the start.

I don’t think people at the top of TransLink have ever paid attention to these very serious problems, since I guess they just have their own car or limousine as always. Someone has got to fix these problems ASAP, or we’ll lose them all in the end.

Chao-Chen (Jack) Lin , Surrey

A REPORT recently released by

the City of Surrey claims that its growth strategies, which “involve continued construction in Grandview and Campbell Heights,” are bolstering the economy. This is far from true.

According to the 2012 capital construction program, Surrey plans to invest more than $120 million into roads. The road capacity-challenged City of Vancouver, by comparison, will invest less than one-third of that amount on roads this year.

A large amount of these expenditures would be completely unnecessary if Surrey focuses new development in existing areas as opposed to undeveloped “new communities.”

Clayton and Grandview Heights stand out as the biggest examples of new development, and will be soon joined by Anniedale, Tynehead, and a number of other planned new communities. At the same time, development on a Newton Town Centre revitalization plan has been halted and no such plan accompanies the Guildford area, despite a mall redevelopment and several undeveloped lots in the middle of the urbanized area.

Transportation improvements to these new areas come at the expense of needed improvements in existing areas.

A stretch of 96 Avenue east of 152 Street was recently widened to four lanes. This was completely a result of a need to service upcoming development in the Tynehead and Anniedale communities. The money spent on widening 96 Avenue should have been allocated to much more necessary improvements on 104 Avenue, a transit and commercial corridor that faces the largest congestion growth rate of any road in the city.

Clayton was at least developed on a frequent transit corridor; however, it still faces a number of challenges. A small-sized elementary school in Clayton that existed before development now needs to service more than 900 students. The rear sports field has been dominated with portable classrooms.

The city needs to put more focus on development and re-development in current areas with existing services, as opposed to allowing swaths of trees to be cut down for development in outer areas. The current strategies are far from cost-effective, far from “economy-bolstering,” and far from sustainable.

Gaudry’s third guilty plea on sex charges Former Delta official, currently serving time for possessing child porn, admits to old indecent act

by Sheila Reynolds KIP GAUDRY, a former senior

employee with the Municipality of Delta, has pleaded guilty to indecent assault in connection with a 1973 incident in Manitoba.

Gaudry was charged in the fall of 2010 in a case that Winnipeg Police Service said concerned “a historic

sexual assault involving a child.”

Though he was expected to plead guilty last December, the matter was repeatedly put forward and the plea was not formally entered in Vancouver Provincial Court until Monday (May 14).

It marks Gaudry’s third admission of guilt on sex-related criminal charges.

The former director of engineering in Delta quit his job in 2009 after police seized home and office computer equipment and found thousands of still images and movies depicting young children being sexually abused. Gaudry, Kip Gaudry

60, pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography and was sentenced last January to 18 months in jail.

In 1995 he pleaded guilty to nine counts of sexual assault and served three-and-a-half years in prison.

There is a ban on reporting details of that case to protect the identity of the victims. The crimes took place in the District of Houston in northwestern B.C. and police at the time said they involved young people.

Gaudry is due back in court Oct. 23 for a pre-sentence report in connection to the Winnipeg conviction.

they’ve been getting plenty of calls from fare evaders wanting to pay off old fines after the province moved to legislate tough new measures to collect unpaid tickets.

The force says its phone lines have been busy since Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said ICBC will withhold licence and insurance renewals to compel scofflaws to pay their TransLink fare evasion fines.

TransLink will also be empowered to use bill collectors, small claims court or deny transit service, among other options.

“It’s a nice surprise,” Transit Police spokesperson Carol Schinkel

said of the response.

Some callers know they have an outstanding ticket and want to pay, she said, while others can’t remember if they paid an old ticket and want to check.

Fine payment information is also on the back of tickets.

Transit Police last year issued 57,000 fare evasion tickets or nearly $10 million worth and 85 per cent of the fines typically go unpaid because there has been no enforcement mechanism before.

in North Vancouver, C.E. Barry Intermediate in Hope and École des Pionniers in Port Coquitlam. Three other schools in Vancouver and three more on Vancouver Island were also identified.

The projects were picked from mostrecent district capital plans and represent top-ranked projects based on an updated assessment of seismic safety risk, according to the province.

But they represent less than 10 per cent of the 152 high-priority schools now identified on a revised list for upgrades under the School Seismic Mitigation Program.

The estimated cost of repairs to all high-priority schools is pegged at $1.3 billion.

Some old schools

“This is the next step in our ongoing and comprehensive program to make B.C. schools safe.”

George Abbott slated for upgrades were built more than a half century ago when seismic risks weren’t well understood.

“This is the next step in our ongoing and comprehensive program to make B.C. schools safe in the event of a major earthquake,” Education Minister George Abbott said.

He said the aim is to get all 152 high-risk schools retrofitted or replaced over the next five to 10 years.

A technical team led by the Association of

Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of B.C. has been working to refine risk assessments and response strategies at UBC’s Earthquake Engineering Research Facility.

“Since the onset of the Seismic Mitigation Program in 2005, we have learned more about the nature of earthquakes, how structures behave during these kinds of events, and how to predict their behaviour,” facility director Carlos Ventura said.

The province is exploring options to provide more money for non-structural safety improvement at medium- and lowranked schools starting in 2013.

B.C. has spent $790 million on school seismic upgrades over the past decade.

So far, work is either beginning, underway or complete on 137 seismic upgrade projects across the province.

Cities back call to strip vote from reserves Most contentious debate topic at convention in Whistler

by Jeff Nagel

LOWER Mainland cities are backing a contentious proposal to block Indian Reserve residents from voting in civic elections.

It was the most hotly debated topic at the Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA) convention in Whistler last week, where about 60 per cent of delegates voted in favour of the resolution Thursday.

Cities have grown increasingly concerned that an influx of nonaboriginal residents will move onto reserves, where some First Nations are building large market housing developments.

Critics fear the newcomers will add to the demand on services from the local city – pos-

sibly without having to pay for those services – while still being able to vote in elections or referenda and influence civic spending decisions.

“The Park Royal proposal by the Squamish First Nation has the potential to make up 30 per cent of the voting population of the City of West Vancouver down the road,” said Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, one of the main proponents of excluding reserve residents from the civic vote.

Since First Nation bands have the authority to regulate and tax their residents and leaseholders, he said, they should also give them democratic representation.

“First Nations need to acknowledge that leaseholders on Indian Reserve lands are their constituents and they

Surrey working on a dog-chaining bylaw City will bring a resolution to UBCM in September, but is also taking its own route to outlaw the practice

by Kevin Diakiw DESPITE SURREY council’s prom-

ise to introduce an emergency resolution banning dog chaining, it never materialized.

On April 23, a group showed Surrey council graphic and troubling images of dogs found chained. Some of them ended up crippled and others had hanged to death on their tether.

Coun. Barbara Steele said at the time council would introduce an emergency motion at the Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA) conven-

tion, which took place in Whistler last week. The LMLGA would have forwarded it to the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM), which would have pressed the province for legislation.

However, the resolution never made it to the floor.

Steele said this week Surrey staff weren’t able to draw up the resolution in time and she was also concerned it wouldn’t meet the threshold necessary for an emergency.

Steele said the city will be bringing its own resolution the UBCM in September. Mayor Dianne

Watts said Surrey is working on a bylaw to have the practice outlawed.

“Any time that you can put in provisions that will assist in the better care of animals, you want it in there as soon as possible,” Watts said.

She acknowledged it’s unsettling having cities pick up responsibilities that should be the purview of the province.

“It’s frustrating, but you have to move forward with these things,” Watts said. “Hopefully there are enough people at the UBCM that will support that.”

When police arrived, they said someone asked how “the woman” was, but investigators aren’t sure who they were referring to or identified anyone else who was hurt.

The suspect fled on foot.

Police say the hall was almost full when the shooting started and that it’s fortunate there weren’t more injuries.

The legion has a licence to sell alcohol until 2 a.m., however, the group that was there until 4 a.m. was a private party renting out the upstairs hall.

Police are urging anyone who was at the party and has information about the shooting to call 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

More jail for abductor

#200-5450-152nd Street, Surrey 604-575-2744 www.surreyleader.com

Ex-husband who abducted son gets another 30 months

by Tracy Holmes BENJAMIN JAMES McBeath

choked his wife into unconsciousness after she discovered him hiding in her bedroom less than two months after the pair had separated.

The “submission hold” was used on his wife three times over the course of that evening last Sept. 27, before leaving her semiconscious in a driveway and abducting his son. McBeath was arrested en route to turn himself in at Surrey RCMP.

But despite remorse that has been expressed since, the degree of violence against his spouse – along with other aggressive behaviour noted over the course of a sentencing hearing – can’t be ignored, Judge James Bahen said last Friday afternoon in Surrey Provincial Court.

“They provide strong inferences of a risk of future violence,” Bahen said.

McBeath, 35, has been in custody since his arrest. Friday, Bahen ruled the Correctional Service Canada employee would

remain in jail for another 30 months as a result of his actions.

The sentence includes three concurrent three-year terms, one for each offence committed Sept.

27 – abduction of a child under 16, assault causing bodily harm and being unlawfully in a dwelling house – and two months in connection with an Aug. 31 assault on his wife, minus eight months for time served.

Bahen also ordered that McBeath provide a DNA sample and be prohibited from owning weapons.

Chasing crooks at 91 Surrey woman arrested after senior refuses to be purse-snatch victim at a Burnaby shopping mall Black Press A 91-YEAR-OLD woman simply wasn’t about to be a

victim, say Burnaby RCMP. Around 6:30 p.m. last Tuesday (May 8), the senior had just sat down for a coffee at Metrotown shopping mall, hanging her purse from the handle of her walker.

Then a thief snatched the purse and fled.

The senior responded by chasing the thief and calling for help from bystanders.

Elissa Joe, 42, of Surrey has been charged with theft under $5,000.

“I am extremely proud of our members and their quick response to an unfolding event. I am equally impressed with the actions of the victim. This is the best outcome we could have asked for,” said Supt.

A goodbye from gangsters

MISSING Lost

German Shephard May 12th

Funeral for alleged crime boss Thomas Grisby

by Dan Ferguson A NUMBER of gangsters

were among the more than 70 mourners who attended the funeral for alleged crime boss Thomas Gisby in South Surrey last Friday morning, a police spokesman said.

“Several people that were well-known to us in the criminal underworld were present to pay their respects to Mr. Gisby,” Surrey RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger told Black Press.

The 47-year-old Gisby – described by police as a “high-ranking organized-crime figure” – was shot and killed in a Starbucks coffee shop in the Mexican resort city of Nuevo Vallarta on April 28.

Members of the Surrey Gang Enforcement Team, along with members of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) Gang Task Force, made a point of being seen outside Victory Memorial Park at 148 Street and 28 Avenue where the funeral was held.

“We often will have a robust police presence to ensure the safety of mourners and the public,” Grainger said.

Grainger said officers took photographs and recorded licence-plate numbers to update their information about suspected gang members.

An online obituary for Gisby made no direct reference to his murder, saying, “Tommy left us unexpectedly on April 28, 2012 and leaves a hole in our hearts that can never be filled.”

The memorial message describes Gisby as a “kind and generous spirit” with an “infectious smile and beautiful twinkling brown eyes” who loved to play golf and poker, go snowmobiling and ride his Harley.

A different view was provided by the officer in charge of the CFSEU, RCMP Chief Supt. Dan Malo, the day after

Gisby died.

“We know Thomas Gisby very well as a high-ranking organized-crime figure here in British Columbia,” Malo told reporters at a Surrey news conference.

“It is an organizedcrime target in British Columbia that was killed,” Malo said. “Not simply a tourist.”

Malo said Gisby has a criminal record going back to the 1990s for offences that included drug dealing and illegal gun trading.

Gisby headed up a criminal organization in B.C. which police referred to as the Gisby Crime Group, Malo said.

The group allegedly had ties to other criminal organizations, and Malo said police are concerned there could be further killings.

“Any time an indi-

vidual of Gisby’s stature valuable to foreign in the organized-crime law enforcement curworld is killed, law rently investigating the enforcement is oblimurder.” Anyone with gated to caution the information is asked public with respect to to call Crime Stoppers potential violent at 1-800-222repercussions,” 8477.

Advocates fear bus service may suffer TransLink riders, auditors may be at odds over transit efficiency

by Jeff Nagel FOR BUS passengers

battling crowded conditions, the impasse over funding for TransLink means transit congestion won’t improve anytime soon.

And some advocates predict it could worsen.

SFU City Program director Gordon Price said the pressure now on the transportation authority to find savings may translate into buses running less

frequently, closer to full and increasingly driving past people waiting at stops because they’re already packed.

“I don’t see how that’s not going to be a consequence of this,” he said.

“Sure you can make cuts. But what someone calls efficiency someone else is going to call overcrowding or an absence of service at all.”

Price joked wouldbe riders who are passed up in the rain can remind themselves ‘’Ah, that’s just TransLink being more efficient.”

TransLink Commissioner Martin Crilly last month rejected a proposed fare increase and directed officials to instead find $20 million a year in savings.

Crilly had projected the savings can be found without cutting existing service levels.

He did not factor into his findings the fact TransLink is also being pushed to find a further $30 million a year in savings to revive a now-frozen transit expansion, which includes the King George B Line in Surrey and RapidBus service over the Port Mann Bridge.

The province has dispatched internal auditors to help to find that money.

Price said the pressure to cut could also play out in other tradeoffs other than direct service, like a return to more use of diesel buses rather than electric trolleys or hybrids, or other decisions that sacrifice environmental or other objectives to cut costs.

So far officials have said they will resist pressure to cut service levels, particularly to areas such as the HandyDart custom service for the elderly and disabled.

But Price said the discussion inevitably leads towards cuts to lightly used routes in suburban areas in the name of efficiency, clouding the long-term vision for smarter civic design.

“Why would anyone shape growth around an expansion of transit that is not likely?” he asked.

Price noted the South of Fraser area is already getting hammered because major upgrades there are now frozen.

Paul Hillsdon, a transit and urban issues advocate in Surrey,

agreed Crilly seems too focused on bus service productivity.

He said a failure to grow or maybe even maintain bus service in high-growth suburban neighbourhoods risks entrenching development patterns based on driving rather than transit.

“It’s a slippery slope to start looking at these issues through only one lens,” Hillsdon said.

“It takes time to attract riders. If we don’t allow time for the ridership to get there we’re never going to have the service or the infrastructure.”

Jordan Bateman, B.C. director for the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, said those fears are overblown.

“TransLink are the masters of threatening service cuts over any kind of efficiency review,” he said.

Bateman said savings should first be sought in administration, policing and other areas that don’t directly affect passengers.

“Before we give TransLink another nickel of financing tools we need to make sure they’re as efficient as possible.”

Crilly has said some of the money could come from shortening the layover at the end of routes, although TransLink officials cautioned those recovery times have already been cut 3.5 per cent and are important to ensure runs stay on schedule through the day.

TransLink officials also say they’ve already been “optimizing” the bus system, by reallocating service from less-used routes and times to ones where more people will ride and more money will be generated.

Crilly suggested that could continue but the money could be carved away as savings instead of being reinvested.

His report also urged TransLink to carefully review its Frequent Transit Network – a map that shows routes where buses are guaranteed at least every 15 minutes most of the day – to ensure it’s not being expanded too rapidly, locking in service lifts that can’t be supported.

COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN shouldn’t count

on putting a net in the Fraser River this summer.

Pre-season estimates of this year’s sockeye salmon run suggest it’s unlikely enough fish will return to the Fraser for fishery managers to approve a commercial catch.

Pacific Salmon Commission chief biologist Mike Lapointe said 1.2 million to 3.8 million sockeye are forecast to return.

That’s down from a run of five million last year and way down from the huge 2010 run of 30 million sockeye, believed to be a rare anomaly.

“It’s a fairly bleak outlook,” Lapointe said.

He admitted salmon run forecasts have been notoriously inaccurate in recent years, but said the small number of salmon that spawned in 2008 dictates that this year’s return will not be large.

“The expectation is very low,” he said.

A run of 2.1 million sockeye – the mid-point of the forecast for this year – would leave only one million harvestable sockeye after spawning requirements.

And Lapointe said that would be entirely allocated to First Nations, who get priority ahead of all other users for food, social and ceremonial purposes, leaving none

available for any commercial catch.

The forecast estimates there’s a 10 per cent chance the run could exceed 3.8 million, and the same probability that it could be less than 1.2 million.

Most sockeye are expected to come in early-timed runs.

With a near-record snowpack still to melt in the Interior, Lapointe said there’s concern that returning sockeye will struggle to get upstream against a strong freshet in the Fraser and its tributaries.

A dismal 2009 return, far below forecast, led the federal government to appoint the Cohen Commission to look into a long-term decline in Fraser sockeye.

the Cohen Inquiry to reopen hearings into the alleged discovery of a virus in farmed salmon that they fear could also threaten wild sockeye salmon.

Independent researcher Alexandra Morton recently said lab tests found piscine retrovirus in B.C.-farmed Atlantic salmon bought in B.C. stores in February.

Greg McDade, representing antiaquaculture groups at the inquiry, said the virus could be weakening wild Fraser River sockeye as they migrate home to spawn.

The inquiry has not yet responded to the request. It completed its hearings in December and is compiling findings due for release by September.

Similar past allegations by Morton have been contradicted by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

New PST will let businesses pay online Tax changes that were made along with the HST will be maintained

by Tom Fletcher THE B.C. government

has tabled its longawaited legislation to kill the Harmonized Sales Tax and return to the old Provincial Sales Tax, with some modernization to make it easier for small businesses to administer and pay the tax.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Monday the PST will return as scheduled in April 2013, with exemptions for haircuts, restaurant meals, bicycles, movie tickets, gym memberships and all the other rules it had before.

Falcon said the only sales tax breaks that won’t return are temporary exemptions that would have expired by now, including energyconserving windows and appliances, and fuel-efficient cars.

Tax changes that were made along with the HST will be maintained.

That includes a 12-percent provincial tax on privately sold used cars, making the tax equal to that paid at a car dealership.

Provincial tobacco taxes were increased seven per cent when the HST came in, and that tax will continue.

Liquor taxes will also be adjusted to keep retail prices the same as they are now.

NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said the legislation tabled Monday is a relatively simple, with regulations listing the many rules and exemptions still to come this fall so businesses can prepare for next spring.

“I think they could have done it faster and they should have done it faster,” Ralston said.

MLA wants to join BC Rail case Van Dongen cites payout to accused’s lawyers

by Tom Fletcher

ABBOTSFORD-SOUTH MLA John van Dongen has applied to the B.C. Supreme Court to participate in the Auditor General’s probe into paying legal fees for government aides convicted of breach of trust in the sale of B.C. Rail operations.

Van Dongen cited the decision to pay $6 million to lawyers for Dave Basi and Bobby Virk when he quit the B.C. Liberal Party in March and joined the B.C. Conservatives.

In his submission to the court, he said he has a “distinct perspective” on the issue, where the government departed from its policy of recovering costs from government employees if they are convicted of a crime.

“The abrupt and surprising end to the prosecution with the guilty pleas and sentencing on October 18, 2010, was followed immediately by the revelation of the unprecedented legal fees indemnity waiver, contrary to established policy, provoking significant public controversy,” van Dongen wrote in an affidavit.

“To the best of my knowledge, this was also the first case in British Columbia where an indemnity of this nature was given to persons charged with serious criminal offences such as bribery or corruption.”

Attorney General Shirley Bond has repeatedly stated that the fee decision to pay the legal bills was made by two deputy ministers with no political input.

She said the government has released everything to Auditor General John Doyle that it has the authority to release, and the detailed billings Doyle is seeking are protected by solicitor-client privilege between Basi, Virk and their lawyers.

The government expects to save about $9 million a year in administration costs by using a new online registration and payment system for business, which B.C. expects to administer with about 100 fewer staff. Businesses will have to set up their computers to comply, with software expected to cost them about $1,000.

Low-income families will give up a $230-per-

person rebate that was introduced to offset the higher costs of HST to consumers, including children. The PST rebate will resume, paying $75 per single adult with an income of $15,000 or less, and $75 per parent for families with an income of $18,000 or less.

Falcon noted an independent panel found the end of the HST will mean $520 million less revenue for the B.C.

treasury next year, $645 million less the following year and increasing lost revenue after that.

“Clearly, any government in the future is going to have less revenue available to it, there’s no doubt about that,” Falcon said. “And obviously, we’re going to have to manage the challenge of bringing back a tax that is less efficient and conducive to economic development.” tfletcher@blackpress.ca

TOM FLETCHER / BLACK PRESS

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon says the new version of the PST will be cheaper for government to administer, but will collect less revenue for the province.

Rapid runoff, scoured silt pose threats in Fraser River

by Jeff Nagel

THE FRASER River is at risk

of much more frequent and devastating floods because of the rapid pace of logging in the B.C. Interior to salvage vast stands of beetle-killed timber, according to a UBC researcher.

Younes Alila, an associate professor of forest hydrology, says the provincial government must take a hard look at the downstream threat from the high rate of logging.

“The public needs to know how much they’re at risk so they are prepared,” he said. “People’s lives are at stake. Economic disruption is at stake.”

Alila looked at small tributary drainages in the Interior and found much faster rates of runoff in areas that have been heavily logged in response to the mountain pine beetle epidemic.

“The 100-year flood may come once in 20 years,” Alila said. “It could easily become five times as frequent.”

He cannot say with certainty that his findings from smaller upcountry tributaries translate directly to more risk of the mainstem Fraser flooding in the Lower Mainland.

But much of the runoff that ends up going through the lower Fraser Valley originates in snow melting in the upper Fraser, Nechako or Cariboo – areas of the watershed heavily hit by the beetle where logging crews have been authorized to cut at unsustainably high levels so wood isn’t wasted.

Alila said the upper 60 per cent of the Fraser basin is also particularly sensitive to rapid runoff from logging because much of the region has relatively flat, subdued topography.

The snowpack melts faster in logged areas because there are fewer trees to shade and slow the melt, he said. Less water is

HELMUT PASTRICK has heard the

growing talk from other financial analysts that a real estate bubble or “craze” in Vancouver has left the condo market ripe for a crash.

So far, he doesn’t see it.

The Central 1 Credit Union chief economist instead says prices aren’t soaring dramatically and he expects continued stability over the short term in the Lower Mainland.

“The Vancouver market is still obviously very expensive,” Pastrick said. “But it’s not skyrocketing away from us. Nor is it likely to fall into the tank either.”

Lower Mainland home sales were down in April, but most prices are up modestly from a year ago, although some categories have sagged in recent months.

Nor does he see signs that builders are flooding the market

The search for your mortgage ends now.

with new units.

The risk as Pastrick sees it is not from over-inflated prices, but from global events – a new financial crisis in Europe or a war that sends oil prices spiking.

He said that could spark a new recession that drags down both real estate and stock markets.

“If there’s a global event, Canada will also feel it and the housing market will as well,” he said, adding detached houses would fare better than condos.

Over the longer term, Pastrick doesn’t expect Metro Vancouver will suddenly become a more affordable place to own a home.

“When I look over the next 25 years, I expect prices will be higher,” he said.

“I expect it will be even more difficult for many to enter the housing market.”

The proportion of people who rent instead of own will rise over time, he predicted, and builders will continue the trend of offer-

ing smaller units.

He also foresees more intergenerational households than in the past with larger extended families living under the same roof.

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver’s benchmark price for all residential homes was up 2.8 per cent in the last three months to $683,000 in April, and is up 3.7 per cent from a year ago.

Detached house prices have been the strongest, up 6.3 per cent from a year ago, while condos were up just 1.1 per cent.

Benchmark price released by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board were up 5.3 per cent year-over-year to $576,600 for detached houses in April, although that number was down two per cent from March.

Townhouses were up 1.9 per cent from a year ago to $318,400 and condos rose 0.8 per cent to $205,800.

‘There’s not a lot to compare to it’

A Majestic addition to Main Street It can be tough to find a bit of peace in Vancouver, but Trafalgar Enterprises has managed to do it with their new development, Majestic on Main Street.

With gorgeous views, great floorplans and amazing details, the development really lives up to its high-end name.

“This is the only brand-new development on Main Street,” says Trafalgar’s Rattan Bagga. “There’s not a lot to compare to it, price-wise.”

With two townhomes and 22 condominiums in a variety of one- and two-bedroom layouts, Majestic on Main is far from a cookie-cutter development.

Each suite offers stunning views of Main Street, Vancouver or Burnaby.

“This is the highest point on Main Street,” Bagga says. “The top floor views are amazing.”

Inside, the engineered hardwood floors are perfectly complemented by the custom wood cabinets and elegant composite stone countertops in the kitchen. The glass-tile backsplash is a great little touch that adds another gorgeous detail to the homes.

Stainless-steel appliances is another modern touch.

“We are putting in appliances that we would put in our home,” says Bagga.

Homes start at $399,900. For more information, visit www.majesticonmain. com or call 604-638-9222.

Greater Vancouver’s best builders

GVHBA members big winners at Ovation Awards

by Kerry Vital

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association has honoured the best of the best in the home building industry with their third annual Ovation Awards.

“Residential construction is a major contributer to Metro Vancouver’s economy and we are delighted to acknowledge the industry’s brightest stars,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson.

There were several familiar faces among the big winners, including ParkLane Homes, who came out with eight awards including the Grand Ovation Awards for Single-Family Builder of the Year and Multi-Family Builder of the Year.

“We are honoured to be the winner of these awards,” says Yosh Kasahara, ParkLane’s General Manager of Sales and Marketing. “We recognize the high calibre of builders and projects in these categories, and to be named (SingleFamily) and Multi-Family Builder of the Year is a testament to our dedicated team of employees, stakeholders and suppliers.”

ParkLane also won awards for Best Single-Family Detached Home: Less than 2,000 Square Feet, Best Single-Family Detached Home: 2,000 to 2,499 Square Feet, Best SingleFamily Detached Home: 2,500 to 2,999 Square Feet, Best Single-Family Detached Home: 3,000 Square Feet and Over, Best Townhome/Rowhome Development: Less than 2,000 Square Feet and Best Marketing Innovation: Multi-Family Builder.

Harald Koehn Construction was named the RenoMark Renovator of the Year – Small Volume, as well as Best Bathroom Renovation: $35,000 and Over, Best Accessible Renovation and Best Renovation: $800,000 and Over for their recent renovation for a family with a son with spina bifida.

“Our team is very proud of our design and workmanship on this renovation project, and on a personal level, this has been a rewarding experience to be able to do something special for young Ben,” says Koehn.

Adera Development Corporation was the recipient of the FortisBC Award for Excellence in Energy Efficiency for New Construction for their Seven35 townhome project in North Vancouver “Adera aims to be a leader in sustainability, and this award is further acknowledgement that we are building energy-efficient, innovative homes,” says Adera president Norm Couttie.

themed Derby Bar and Grill, which he owns.

“We knew he had something, and we weren’t going to let him blow it, even if we sometimes had to kick him in the ass a little bit.”

Todd also admits his interest in Gutierrez as a jockey was not entirely altruistic.

“Well, he was the best rider there, by far. And I should have the best rider on my horses, right?” he laughed.

The arrangement worked out well, as the combination of Gutierrez’s skill, Taylor’s expertise and Todd’s horses resulted in hundreds of Hastings Park victories over the next few years.

“Several hundred,” Todd noted.

Gutierrez, who says he has a father-son relationship with Todd, left Hastings Park a year ago to race at the famed Santa Anita Park in Southern California, but still considers the Lower Mainland his second home.

When he refers to Todd, he always calls him “pardner.”

And, as Gutierrez is quick to

“When I first came here, I had some money, I was on my own, and I started thinking that I’d already made it,” he explained.

“But you always need someone to grab you, and teach you a little bit, and push you in the right direction. That happened for me with Glen. He saw something in me.”

••• Before the 11th race of the Kentucky Derby – the $2-million-purse main event – Gutierrez wasn’t nervous so much as he was in awe.

The intent of the By-law is to authorize the closure and removal of road allowance adjacent to the property located at 19054 – 68 Avenue. This closure is intended to facilitate the consolidation with 19054 - 68 Avenue, 19047 - 67A Avenue and 19079 - 67A Avenue as part of a proposed future development. In accordance with the Community Charter, SBC 2003, c.26, as amended, approval of the disposition of the road will be considered by City Council at a later date.

“It was a lot to take in, just to get the horse there, to be there. I was already happy,” he said, adding that he’d only met I’ll Have Another four months earlier.

“He’s a good horse,” he said.

During the race, Gutierrez said he remained focused, only allowing himself to break concentration for a brief second after I’ll Have Another passed Bodemeister, who at four-to-one odds, had been the pre-race favourite, and led for most of the race.

“After I passed him, and I knew I was going to be the first to the finish line, it was quite

Gutierrez, who was running between fifth and seventh place at the time, had a chance to win.

“Hands,” he said. “It’s the hands. He can get the horse to do what he wants to do, without upsetting the horse, and not many people can do that.

“And he’s got ice in his veins… he doesn’t get nervous, doesn’t get rattled. Great riders who’ve been there before have panicked, and made a move too soon, but he waited, and waited and then when he had to, he went.”

And though no horse has won the Triple Crown in more than 30 years, Todd says – albeit quietly – that Gutierrez has a shot at it.

“He’s got a good chance. I get that feeling… like it’s made to be,” he said, lowering his voice to a near-whisper.

“But I don’t want to jinx it.”

Sands, Burnsview to play for Fraser Valley championship

by Rick Kupchuk THERE’S NO doubt North Delta

is producing the best Senior AA high school soccer teams this season.

The Sands Scorpions and Burnsview Griffins, representing schools separated by less than two kilometres, clashed in yesterday’s Fraser Valley championship game.

The Griffins are the twotime Fraser Valley and B.C. champions, and look more than capable of defending both crowns. Burnsview went a perfect 6-0 (won-lost) in league play, outscoring opponents 30-1 along the way. After an 8-1 win over St. John Brebeuf in the first round of the Fraser Valley playoff, the Griffins clinched a berth at the May 31-June 2 provincial tournament in Kamloops with a 3-0 victory over the Holy Cross Crusaders last Wednesday (May 9).

Robyn Abe, Elexis Schlossarek, and Michelle Knowlan tallied against the Crusaders.

Goal keeper Nicole Kokolski was credited with the shutout.

Curl BC honours Team Tardi Team of the Year award

by Jennifer Lang

JUST A month after winning a bronze medal at an international competition, Team Tardi has been named “Team of the Year” by Curl BC. The association has also named the team’s skip, Tyler Tardi, Junior Male Athlete of the Year.

The team represented B.C. at the Optimist International under-18 Curling Championships in Toronto earlier this month, and also won gold at the 2012 B.C. Winter Games in Vernon last February.

The team curls out of the Langley Curling Club, but boasts a strong Cloverdale connection. Both Tyler, 13, and his older brother Jordan, 15, play on the team, coached by Paul Tardi.

Teammates Nicholas Meister (second) is from Langley, and lead Zachary Umbach lives in Coquitlam.

The Curl BC awards will be handed out at a luncheon June 9 in Richmond.

have played together now for the last five years and have learned to trust each other,” said coach Mary Ferguson. “They have become a very talented, cohesive team.”

The Scorpions are on a surprising run in the postseason, after a 3-3 record in league play earned them the final playoff position in the Fraser Valley West league.

“They have become a very talented, cohesive team.”

Mary Ferguson They stunned the Fraser Valley East champions, the unbeaten (6-0) Archbishop Carney Stars 2-1 in the first round, giving up and early goal before Megan Talaber and Cheyenne Phillips scored.

Sands followed the same script in the semifinal contest against the Surrey Christian

Falcons, a team which placed second in the West league with a 5-1 mark. With the Scorpions down 1-0 late in the game, Cassidy MacLeod netted the tying goal with three minutes left in regulation time, then Hana Haraga netted the winner with two minutes to go in overtime.

The Falcons were to play Archbishop Carney last night for the third and final berth from the Fraser Valley zone to the B.C. tournament in Kamloops.

In the Senior AAA playoff, the South Delta Sun Devils and Panorama Ridge Thunder will meet in the championship game for the second straight year.

Neither side has lost this season, each winning eight times in nine games. They played to a 1-1 tie last month, a result that left both sides tied for top spot in the Fraser Valley South league with 50-1 (won-lost-tied) records.

The Thunder have outscored the opposition 10-1 in the 16-team playoff tournament.

the Canadian Football League (CFL) has come to an end for North Delta native Davis Sanchez.

A cornerback with the B.C. Lions, Sanchez decided to call it a career earlier this week. The 37-year-old retires as a three-time divisional allstar and four-time Grey Cup champion.

“Davis was a valued leader during his time with us and we wish him the very best moving forward,” said vice-president of football operations and general manager Wally Buono in a statement.

Davis played junior football with the Surrey Rams, before playing two seasons with Butte Junior College and one with the Oregon Ducks of the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association).

He turned pro with the Montreal Alouettes in 1999, and a year later had his best season with 48 tackles and nine interceptions, two of

ton Eskimos for their Grey Cup championship season in 2005.

A third stint with the Alouettes lasted four season, and netted Sanchez two more Grey Cups (2008-09), before he signed as a free agent with the Lions in 2010.

Although injuries ended his season after just five games last year, he was part of a fourth Grey Cup winning team.

“I am going to miss this league, but that being said, I feel so fortunate to have had it be such a huge part of my life thus far,” Davis said in a statement. “Many thanks to all of the great teammates, coaches, fans and people I have met throughout my career in the CFL. “And a very special thanks to both the Alouettes and Lions organizations.”

In total, Sanchez played 155 games with four teams, intercepting 28 passes, scoring five touchdowns. He was an East Division All-Star with Montreal in 2000, 2004 and 2008, and was a CFL All-Star in 2000.

Now in its eighth year, the Surrey Children’s Festival promises to bring out the kid in everyone

A time to

shine

by Dan Pearce

T

he largest children’s festival this side of the Fraser is just around the corner.

And according to Coun. Judy Villeneuve, this year’s Surrey Children’s Festival will be the most interactive and hands on yet.

“Kids will have more opportunities to express themselves than ever before,” she said.

Now in its eighth year, the theme for this year’s threeday event is “Your Turn to Shine.”

Children can expect a full day of fun, as they participate in a variety of games, workshops and performances.

Kids are encouraged to discover and build confidence in their inner artistic skill and creative abilities, said one of the festival organizers, Marie-Soleil Bergeron.

“It’s an opportunity for the kids to showcase their talents,” she said.

New this year is the digital tapestry, where kids create illustrations on digital tablets, which are then projected onto large screens.

“Kids get really excited about the interactivity,” said Villeneuve, who chairs the city’s arts, culture and development committee.

This year’s festival also features world class national and international performances. À La Belle Étoile is a multilingual puppet show, adapted from Hansel and Gretel.

The award-winning interactive physical comedy group CORPUS will also be performing this year.

Chinese acrobat Li Liu will showcase extraordinary acrobatics, while touching on various aspects of Chinese culture.

Arthur L’Aventurier will present L’Oeil de Cristal, a french musical with an environmental message and Mini Masterpieces will perform their adaptations of several known literary stories.

Some of the performance groups at this year’s Surrey Children’s Festival include Les Moutons

by CORPUS (above), Mini-Masterpieces interactive comedy theatre (left) and A La Belle Étoile (below, left), a puppet show from Quebec. Below is one of many roving, costumed performers that will entertain visitors.

The Gizmo Guys will perform Objects in Motion, their comedy juggling act and as well, the local youth circus group Cirque Surrey will also make an appearance.

The wide array of performances are “the soul of the festival,” said Bergeron.

In addition to ticketed shows, there are plenty of free performances by local and emerging talent on the Community Spirit Stage. And jugglers, stilt walkers, clowns, mimes, ventriloquists, costumed creatures and more will be roving on site all day, every day.

Workshops include a contemporary dance master class, a movement workshop and a puppet workshop.

Attendees are also encouraged to join the free Festival Procession in front of the Spirit Stage on Saturday (May 26) at 12:30 p.m.

Villeneuve said if the turnout is anything like last year, about 18,000 people will take in the festival, in addition to the 300 mostly youth volunteers.

“The festival is a time for the community to come together,” Villeneuve said. “It really adds to the cultural fabric of the society.”

The eighth-annual Surrey Children’s Festival runs May 24-26 at the Surrey Arts Centre and Bear Creek Park.

Dreaming of sugar plums

Speeding up stroke recovery

IT MAY ONLY be May, but the chance to perform in a holiday

tradition meant Christmas came early this year for eightyear-old Alyson Tyerman of Surrey.

Alyson was among hundreds of hopefuls who took part in auditions at the Scotiabank Dance Centre in Vancouver for Goh Ballet’s The Nutcracker ballet.

Winning a coveted role in the production means performing alongside critically acclaimed dancers from the New York City Ballet with live accompaniment from the Vancouver Opera Orchestra.

“This is actually her first audition – her ballet teacher recommended that she come here today, and that teacher used to dance at Goh, so she should know what Alyson Tyerman has earned a she’s talking about,” spot in Go Ballet’s production of said nervous father The Nutcracker this Christmas.

Ian Tyerman outside the audition room.

Inside, Alyson danced before the judges, including The Nutcracker executive producer and prima ballerina Chan Hon Goh, and choreographer Anna-Marie Holmes.

Alyson learned she won a spot in the production a week after her audition.

Goh Ballet’s presentation of The Nutcracker will take place from Dec. 19-23 at the The Centre in Vancouver for Performing Arts.

N

ot too long ago, Janis Hoskins was lying in a hospital bed, unable to speak or move her right side. But inside, she was mustering her strength.

“I’m a fighter,” said Hoskins, a south Surrey resident who had a stroke last August. “The physiotherapist at Royal Columbian Hospital saw that spark in me. He pushed me so that he could build me up to send me to Eagle Ridge for intensive rehab.”

Hoskins, 63, put everything she had into her physical, occupational and speech therapy at Eagle Ridge’s High Intensity Rehabilitation Unit so that she could go home to her husband Michael as soon as possible. About five weeks later she achieved that goal, thanks to a new Fraser Health program that allowed her to continue receiving intensive rehab as an outpatient.

The Rehab Early Discharge (REDi) program targets patients like Hoskins, who still need rehab but no longer require 24/7 care, can get to appointments, and can manage at home with support from either family or Home Health services.

“I was really eager to go home,” she said. “When you know you have someone at home to help you, all you can think about is getting out of the hospital. It’s not home.”

Recent North American research suggests rehab patients are happier and improve faster when they are discharged earlier and continue therapy as outpatients. This has been the case for REDi, which allows patients to go home an average of nine to 11 days sooner – freeing up hospital beds – while reducing a patient’s recovery time.

“It’s the best of both worlds,” said Val Spurrell, Fraser Health’s Executive Director of Clinical Programs and Operations for Rehab, Older Adult and Allied Health. “We’ve created a program that provides great service with great outcomes, and the feedback from patients has been so positive. It’s also increasing our capacity.

By reducing inpatient stays, we can see more patients.”

The program has been so successful that after its launch at Surrey Memorial and Eagle Ridge hospitals in 2011, it was expanded to Peace Arch Hospital and Queen’s Park Care Centre and is now being considered for other sites in Fraser Health.

Through REDi, patients come in up to four times a week and will see multiple therapists during each appointment, which reduces a patient’s travel and speeds recovery.

Being home also encourages patients to be more active, which is important for stroke recovery.

A global view of business A TEAM OF THREE STUDENTS from Kwantlen Polytechnic

Janis Hoskins receives therapy from Roni Braslins (left, centre), a rehabilitation assistant with Fraser Health’s Rehab Early Discharge (REDi) program.

University’s School of Business – Natasha Campbell, Larisa Gorodetsky and Steven Vu – won first place at the 2012 APEX Business-IT Global Case Challenge, held in Singapore.

The annual competition brings together undergraduate students from leading universities to propose the best solutions to real-world case scenarios encompassing information systems and business solutions.

A total of 19 teams competed from universities around the world, including UBC and SFU. Kwantlen student David Dryden served as an alternate.

PHOTOS BY MICHAEL HOSKINS

“You have to do things for yourself at home so you have no choice but to get better,” Hoskins said. “We had a dog at the time. He was old so didn’t pull me when we walked. I was able to get him out after a month or so by myself and do little walks. That was wonderful. I felt independent.”

The outpatient therapy was just as intensive as what she received in hospital, she found. “I was very damaged and I needed a lot of therapy, but they really bridged the gap. They were definitely there when I needed them.”

Hoskins was discharged from Surrey Memorial’s REDi program in February and continues occupational therapy to improve her writing, build strength and dexterity in her right fingers, and eliminate a slight limp.

From her speech, a stranger would never know she had a stroke.

“I’m getting better all the time,” she said. “I owe a lot to the program.

I can’t say enough about the people

who worked with me.”

Spurrell noted that increasingly, outpatient programs such as REDi are helping Fraser Health address the rising demand for health care. Redesigning rehabilitation services to meet patient needs in a way that is equally effective but more efficient enables Fraser Health to reduce hospital congestion and serve more people.

This is particularly important for conditions such as stroke, which are closely linked to age and on the rise.

In B.C. stroke is the leading cause of disability in adults, the second leading cause of dementia, and the third leading cause of death.

“Our philosophy is that home is best,” Spurrell said. “In the past many services were only provided in a hospital. This program is changing that.

It’s allowing people to be at home with their families and receive the same level of care they could receive in the hospital.”

Don’t mess with us About 300 students, parents, teachers and Surrey RCMP District 1 members helped clean up the area surrounding James Ardiel Elementary School. The Community Clean Landscape Project, held during Earth Week, included prizes for kids and pizza for adults.

SONiC Nation will be on location during the entire event and Delta Mayor Lois Jackson will be present to officially cut the starting ribbon.

Registration begins at 8 a.m.

“I was uncertain at first whether the other schools would join this event but am very excited about the support my peers have shown,” said organizer and Seaquam student Klaryssa Pangilinan.

“Childhood cancer or any other childhood illness is so terrible and the tremendous courage these girls showed has really inspired us to work together to help the families who have children facing similar

challenges. We can’t bring Tessa or Megan back….but we can help spread their message of courage and compassion.”

While key corporate sponsors Save-onFoods, Prospera Credit Union and Leah Bach of Remax have committed their support to the event, the students are looking for volunteers, donations and walk/ run participants to help make the event successful.

WHO COULDN’T USE a little more unconditional

love in their lives?

May is Adoption Awareness Month and there are thousands of wonderful animals in SPCA branches across the province who can’t wait to meet their new family.

“The animals we receive are beautiful, loving creatures who are in our care through no fault of their own – they are with us because their guardians couldn’t, or wouldn’t, provide for their needs,” says Lorie Chortyk, general manager of community relations for the BC SPCA. “Unfortunately research shows that a very small percentage of pets acquired in B.C. come from shelters or rescue organizations and we’d really like to challenge people to think of the BC SPCA as their ‘first adoption option’ when thinking about bringing a new pet into their family.”

The BC SPCA rescues more than 32,000 animals each year and operates adoption centres in 35 communities across the province.

All animals adopted from the BC SPCA have health checks, vaccinations, temperament testing and are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. To view adoptable animals online visit spca.bc.ca/ adopt or visit the SPCA branch nearest you (a list of branch locations is available at www.spca.bc.ca).

The event was inspired by the courage and determination demonstrated by students Megan McNeil and Tessa Beauchamp, both of whom showed a tremendous will to survive in times of adversity.
