Nurses to help detect human trafficking victims Exploited females are mostly Canadians, lured online

by Jeff Nagel NURSES IN Fraser Health will be

trained to recognize the warning signs of human trafficking among victims of violence who come into the region’s hospitals.

Surrey Memorial Hospital’s forensic nursing unit will develop a toolkit for the rest of the region – a first in Canada – to train emergency department staff in detecting and aiding victims.

The effort is funded by an $18,000 civil forfeiture grant announced Friday by Justice Minister Shirley Bond, who also unveiled a Shirley Bond broader provincial action plan on human trafficking.

Most victims are forced into prostitution or sexual exploitation and many are believed to be aboriginal, often convinced to move from northern B.C. to the Lower Mainland and into the hands of controlling masters.

Axe attacker out of prison Enrique Quintana’s assault in 2006 left Surrey teen Michael Levy paralyzed

by Sheila Reynolds A MAN WHO axed a Surrey teen in the back of the neck, paralyzing him, has been released from jail.

Enrique Quintana was 17 years old in October 2006 when he and some friends went to a party at Tynehead Community Hall. They surrounded teen Michael Levy, broke a bottle over his head and punched him in the head.

Quintana then struck Levy three times in the neck with a hatchet – including a blow that severed his spinal column – and sprayed him with bear spray. Quintana left the hall and returned to kick Levy, who was lying on the floor bleeding.

Quintana’s sentence of seven-and-a-half years began in February 2008.

Highest court drops Berner appeal

Merger of medical labs to go ahead

Black Press

LifeLabs’ buyout of BC Biomedical poses no competition concern: Federal bureau

The SuPreme Court of

Canada has dismissed an appeal by Carol Berner, who was convicted in the 2008 drunkdriving death of toddler Alexa Middelaer.

Berner, found guilty in July 2010 of two counts of dangerous driving causing death and bodily harm and two counts of impaired driving causing death and bodily harm, had applied to the country’s highest court to reverse the conviction.

Wednesday morning, the Supreme Court of Canada announced Berner’s application was “dismissed without costs.”

Last November, the B.C. Court of Appeal had dismissed Berner’s case there.

Berner’s lawyers argued the trial judge had erred in finding the destruction of Berner’s Oldsmobile by ICBC, before the defence could have it independently inspected for mechanical defects didn’t infringe on her right to make a full defence.

They also argued Berner was carol Berner found guilty despite a lack of evidence of impairment, and that she had not been advised of her right to counsel before her taperecorded statement was taken.

On May 17, 2008, four-year-old Alexa – who attended preschool in Crescent Beach – was feeding a horse in Ladner, when Berner struck and killed her. Alexa’s aunt was also seriously injured.

Berner was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison and banned from driving for five years, but has served just days of her sentence so far.

Wednesday, the B.C. Court of Appeal was to hear Berner’s sentencing appeal.

edward Tzou reviews lab results at Bc Biomedical, which is being purchased by lifelabs. Bc Biomedical employs 500 people in Surrey.

The federal Competition Bureau won’t block the buyout of BC Biomedical by LifeLabs, clearing the way for B.C.’s two big chains of private medical labs to merge into a single giant.

The bureau concluded the merger would “not likely result in a substantial lessening or prevention of competition.”

It noted diagnostic testing is highly regulated in B.C. through the province’s Medical Services Commission and there was “little evidence of direct competition” between the two firms to date, nor much likelihood of it in the future.

BC Biomedical has nearly 800 employees, 500 of them in Surrey, and runs 45 labs across the Lower Mainland that handle 32,000 tests daily.

Toronto-based LifeLabs has 80 service centres in B.C. and does 44,000 tests per day.

With the acquisition, LifeLabs billings to the Medical Services Plan for government-funded testing will now top $200 million a year. A much smaller share of its revenue comes from privately paid tests.

Publicly provided testing in hospitals by B.C.’s regional health authorities will continue to offer an effective alternative to the merged private lab chains, the bureau added.

Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid had raised concern one firm will end up with 95 per cent of the private lab business, putting it in a better position to wring higher testing fees from government.

A Medical Services Commission (MSC) review of the planned merger has led to certification of LifeLabs to operate the former BC Biomedical testing facilities.

MSC has the power to approve or reject significant changes in medical lab operating hours or capacity changes, MacDiarmid said in an interview Tuesday.

Any post-merger move by LifeLabs to consolidate the number of labs could, for example, be closely scrutinized, she confirmed.

“If changes were proposed and the commission had a concern that access might be impacted, they do have the authority to take steps to address it,” MacDiarmid said.

The deal is expected to close in early April.

Surrey logs 11th murder of 2013 A family member has been arrested in stabbing death of 43-year-old woman

by Kevin Diakiw Police have arrested a family member in connection with the murder of a woman in North Surrey on this week.

On Monday just before 5 p.m., Surrey RCMP were called to a duplex at 13049 103 Avenue for an unconscious woman.

Jackie Olson, 43, had been stabbed and died at the scene.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) was called in, and by Tuesday morning an arrest was made in the case.

“In the early morning hours of March 19, 2013 a family member was arrested in connection to the Jackie olson homicide of Jackie Olson,” said IHIT Sgt. Jennifer Pound. “This individual is currently in custody and IHIT are continuing to sort through the evidence and determine what led up to this tragic crime.”

Cameras, lighting on rural road

eras will be installed along Colebrook Road, where the bodies of four murder victims have been found

She said the youth criminal justice act prevented her from providing further details about the individual, other than to say the suspect was arrested in Surrey, but in a different location than where Olson was found.

About two weeks ago, Olson made a post on her Facebook page reading “Family helps each other threw thick and thin – weather we feel its right or wrong – unconditional love is what i taught my family.”

Olson’s death marks Surrey’s 11th murder this year, amounting to about one a week since the beginning of January.

“Yes, people are forming opinions about Surrey. It’s a concern for the RCMP and for the mayor that there has been 11 murders,” said Pound. “They (Surrey RCMP and the municipality) are taking action and the IHIT team is responsive and working closely with Surrey RCMP. “I don’t think this many murders speaks to the community or to the citizens of Surrey who are law abiding.”

in recent weeks.

The new $80,000 surveillance system will be in place as early as next week.

Police found the bodies of a man and a woman on Colebrook Road near

– with files from Monique Tamminga

125A Street last week, bringing the yearly body count in that area to four.

Mayor Dianne Watts has said the city will be installing cameras in that area, and if necessary,

elsewhere in Surrey.

Watts says in addition to the new surveillance system, police will also be increasing patrols of the area and working with local residents.

Family: Dealt a ‘severe burden’

From page 1

Offenders who are not serving life or indeterminate sentences are released automatically on a supervised “statutory release” when their sentences are two-thirds complete. Quintana’s statutory release date was last Wednesday (March 13).

Now 23, his time in custody has been riddled with trouble and violence, according to Parole Board of Canada reports. Shortly after his incarceration in 2008, he was transferred

from a medium- to high-security facility after assaulting another inmate in a swarming similar to the Levy attack.

In July 2012, the parole board denied Quintana’s bid for both full and day parole, noting several inmate assaults and involvement in the prison drug trade.

And as recently as last December, Quintana was placed in segregation and returned to a high-security institution after punching a prison food server in the face.

The parole board also said Quintana continues to deny aspects of the Levy attack, including kicking him when he was seriously injured on the ground, and still lacks insight into his violence and emotional instability.

Quintana Enrique was one Quintana of three teens convicted and sentenced as adults in connection with the attack.

Tuan “Tony” Minh Nguyen was sentenced to 20 months house arrest for punching Levy and initiating the assault. Robert Alexander Green, 18 at the time of the attack, received three years in jail for hitting Levy with a bottle.

During his release, Quintana must report to a parole officer and follow special conditions, including living at a halfway house, not consuming alcohol or

non-prescription drugs and not associating with anyone involved with crime or substance abuse.

He must also have no contact with the Levy family, who the parole board said Quintana had been dealt “a severe burden they must endure for the rest of their lives.

“They deserve the right to remain free of any contact of any sort with you,” said the board.

Quintana’s statutory release (and sentence) will end on Sept. 28, 2015.

Michael Levy’s spinal column was severed by a hatchet blow to the back of his neck.

Other victims – women or men – may be compelled to work in hazardous situations that may include drug labs or pot grow-ops.

Two domestic service slavery cases are before B.C. courts, as well as human trafficking charges involving several minors in Lower Mainland micro-brothels.

But authorities believe the problem is much larger.

“It’s often a hidden and secret crime,” Bond said.

“It’s very difficult for people who find themselves in this circumstance to come forward.”

Bond gave the example of a Prince George girl who might be lured on Facebook by an online boyfriend to move south. He showers her with gifts at first but eventually demands payback and forces her into prostitution at a local strip bar under a haze of drug addiction and threats of violence.

It’s hoped ER staff who spot the red flags can encourage victims of human trafficking to agree to work with a forensic nurse, who can collect evidence and potentially testify against perpetrators.

According to nurses at SMH, most of the suspected victims here are Canadian women and girls, not foreigners brought in from other countries.

Tara Wilkie, a forensic nurse examiner specializing in sexual assault cases, estimated 50 to 60 per cent of 170 violence cases the regional forensic nursing unit based in Surrey sees each year are probable victims of sexual exploiTara Wilkie tation and human trafficking.

She said the aim is to ensure more frontline nurses can spot signs of coercion and abuse, certain telltale injuries and illness – and summon help from forensic nurses and police.

Rosalind Currie, director of B.C.’s Office to Combat Trafficking in Persons, said youth are increasingly recruited by traffickers over the Internet.

She said a computer game is also being developed to teach youth how to recognize manipulative tactics of human traffickers, who ply victims with free alcohol or drugs, gifts, trips and invitations to parties.

“Accepting these can trap them into paying off a debt,” Currie said.

She said foreign workers in Canada can also be more vulnerable to traffickers, who may seize their passports as another control lever.

A total of $150,000 in provincial civil forfeiture grants are going to human trafficking initiatives.

The new action plan lists youth, vulnerable workers and aboriginal communities as priority groups and focuses on public awareness, staff training and service coordination.

Young Surrey burn victim to be honoured Toddler was seriously injured in 2011 apartment fire that killed her twin sister

by Sheila Reynolds

A little girl who

suffered severe burns in a Surrey house fire that took the life of her twin sister two years ago is being celebrated as a Hero of Ability.

Samantha (“Sammy”) was just 20 months old in January 2011 when she and her sister Ava were rushed to hospital after a fire broke out in the bedroom of their apartment.

Ava passed away four days later. Sammy spent the next three months in intensive care, suffering from second-degree burns to 30 per cent of her body and extreme smoke inhalation that’s believed to be at least partly responsible for her acquired brain injury.

But through it all, Sammy, who celebrates her fourth birthday next month, has been a fighter.

“She has a very positive outlook on life and is extremely stubborn and tenacious,” says Samantha’s adoptive mom Aja Irwin, adding whenever she starts to think she’s having a bad day, she just thinks of Sammy. “The thing is, she’s overcome so much. It just puts everything into perspective. I just need to be thankful.”

Aja and Mike Irwin became primary caregivers of Sammy after the fire and formally adopted her last year. Aja is Sammy’s aunt.

A little less than a year after the fire, the Irwins connected with the Community Brain Injury Program for Children and Youth at the B.C. Centre for Ability.

Weekly physiotherapy and speech language therapy sessions soon began – something the new mom said was invaluable.

At the time, the couple had no other children so didn’t know exactly what it meant to have a brain injury or what kind of progress Sammy could be expected to make.

“We just chose never to give up on her and do whatever we needed to do to get her to reach her full potential,” says Aja. The Vancouver-based B.C. Centre for Ability, which serves children, youth and adults with disabilities, has named Samantha one of five

Heroes of Ability for 2013.

Sammy is now attending preschool and is using sign language and learning to verbalize words. Tight leg muscles make walking uncom-

fortable, so she finds other ways to scooch around the floor. And though she uses a gastrointestinal tube to receive liquid, she gets 90 per cent of her daily calories by eating food.

Temporary Road Closure

Highway 99 at 16 Avenue Interchange Project The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the City of Surrey hereby notify the public of a planned closure of 16 Avenue at Highway 99 for the construction of the new interchange.

16 Avenue will be closed where it crosses over Highway 99.

While 16 Avenue is closed the exisitng two lane underpass will be demolished and a new six lane structure will be built. Truck traffic will be diverted to 8 Avenue and all other traffic can use either 24 Avenue or 8 Avenue.

It’s a far cry from the predictions in hospital after the fire that she would live her life in a vegetative state.

This closure is scheduled to begin April 1, 2013 and continue “That’s one of the great until August 31, 2013 and allows the new structure to be built things about her getting much more quickly, minimizes impacts to the surrounding this award is it gives us community, provides a safer environment for both drivers and the opportunity to share project workers and reduces overall project costs. her story,” says Aja, holding Sammy’s 10-weekFor more information, please contact old sister Evelyn. “It’s Project Manager Jay Porter at 604 660-8211 inspiring for others to or by e-mail at Jay.Porter@gov.bc.ca. see… this is the result of or visit the project web site at everybody’s efforts.

Railing against coal trains

Port Metro Vancouver, a self-

regulating Crown corporation with no oversight or public accountability, is planning to build a coal transfer terminal in North Surrey.

At full build out, 640 new trains will travel through White Rock and Crescent Beach each year, transporting eight million tonnes of coal.

Once operational, we would become North America’s largest coal exporter.

This project is wrong on several levels.

There are serious concerns about the increased amount of coal dust these uncovered trains will bring to Surrey residents, exacerbating air quality and health issues.

There are real safety issues for Crescent Beach, which already has limited access to emergency services due to the rail crossing.

And of course, there is the complete lack of public consultation for such a major proposal. It is no wonder that communities across the Western United States have fought against increased coal traffic, forcing it into Canada.

However, larger than any of these concerns, is the suggestion that we should enable the export and burning of additional coal while carbon emissions reach historic levels.

The world is on track to go far beyond the internationally agreed two-degree warming limit, with the possibility that we’ll reach a six-degree increase by 2100.

The last time the world faced such temperatures was 55 million years ago.

Under such a catastrophic scenario, most existing agricultural zones will be depleted, sea levels will rise 1.4 metres – putting New York City underwater – the world’s coral reefs will acidify, and extreme

Be open – before the leaks a concern that arises from the

BLACK PRESS PHOTO

opponents of a planned coal transfer terminal in north surrey say the environmental impact of trains carrying the cargo is too high. weather events will be 45 per cent more destructive. This is the world that children living today will face as seniors.

The only chance we have to reduce these risks is to stop any major fossil fuel projects today.

Often, the fight against climate change seems too large for any individual to make a difference.

With this coal proposal, the war on carbon it at our doorstep and we have a responsibility to the world, and future generations, to ensure it does not proceed.

For a city that likes to claim it is home to a sustainable future, approving this coal terminal is hypocritical and will tarnish any

green credentials we’ve developed.

The coal trains must be stopped, for the sake of Surrey and our planet.

Paul Hillsdon Surrey

The rumble of discontent we cannot sustain having trains rumbling through White Rock, Crescent Beach, and South Surrey.

Even when I was 10 years old, I thought it was wrong to run trains through such a heavily populated area.

This is not sustainable. The cost to human life and the environment

is too high.

The train engines are much bigger and the horns seem to peel the paint off the wall, and you can hear them 10 miles away, all through the night.

And the powers that be want to increase the traffic to 300 trains a week, 1,200 a month, carrying coal, garbage, and God knows what. We are crazy to accept this.

This issue should have been resolved 60 years ago.

We need to speak as one voice against the railroad bullies.

B&E targets refuse to be victims

Last weekend, my daughter and I were prey to

a break-and-enter.

I would like to thank the individual who thought that this was an opportunity to participate in a five-finger discount in our home.

You may have found pleasure in stealing a number of items from our home, using my credit cards, and enjoying the spoils of your ill-gotten gains. However, what you failed to

realize we are lucky enough to have friends and neighbours – people we have reached out to and made aware of your actions.

Our neighbors have learned from our experience. They have become aware of locking the garage door and watching out for one another.

You may have stolen items that you think are of value, but material objects have no real value.

You left us we a greater sense of community,

with stronger communication between friends and neighbours. I hope you enjoy our “gifts to you” as they are material.

We will enjoy our heightened sense of awareness and our stronger community.

We are not victims.

Liberal ethnic vote scandal is transparency of government.

Since the public received information of the scandal through a publicized leak, citizens have made their voices heard, which forced the political party to take action and be accountable.

However, what if the information had not been leaked? Then the scandal would likely have continued, as nothing was mentioned until after the “hand was caught in the cookie jar.”

Relying on leaks to inform the public is unreliable. The concern is why is this, and other information in the public’s interest, not publicly available in the first place?

Any political party in power, not just the Liberal party, is able to keep what’s done in our name, as Canadian taxpayers, a secret from us. As Canadian citizens, we should be wary of the current freedom-of-information process.

There is too high an onus on citizens requesting information, which enables many government institutions the ability to keep information a secret.

If government is able to withhold information, then there is a lack of government transparency.

Transparency, on issues of public interest, is a necessary element of a representative government.

As the adage goes, “knowledge is power.” If a political party in power is able to withhold information (knowledge), then they are withholding power from the citizens.

Parents want to bring their son’s body home It’s been five years since 25-year-old Surrey native Kellen McElwee was last seen

by Monique Tamminga

This week marks five

years since Kellen McElwee went missing, and his parents are desperate to bring his body home.

“You don’t have to identify yourself. We simply want to find his body so we can bury him,” said McElwee’s

mother Paula, who along with her husband Len spoke at a press conference held at RCMP E Division headquarters in Surrey on Tuesday.

“Try to put yourself in our position. It’s awful.

It’s the excruciating pain that no one understands,” she said. “For these five years all we get to do is

wonder what happened to our son.”

Five years ago, on March 19, 25-year-old Kellen, who grew up in Surrey, went missing after having dinner with friends at The Keg in Langley. McElwee didn’t show up the next day at the Rogers call centre where he worked as a

trainer.

Several days later McElwee’s bronze 2006 Honda Civic was found abandoned on a residential street in Burnaby, a few blocks from his apartment where he lived alone.

Investigators believed he met with foul play and on April 22, 2008 the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the file.

“Police have received many tips throughout the years but none that have led us to Kellen’s body. Doing so remains our priority,” said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound.

On the one-year anniversary of Kellen going missing, his parents offered a $100,000 reward that would lead to answers about their son.

The reward has never been claimed.

Based on the information gathered to date, police have not been able to make any conclusive links to gangs, drugs or organized crime as being responsible for the disappearance of Kellen. He

Man pleads guilty to several MODERN DAY VETERANS NEED YOUR HELP! charges in sexual assault case FOR A DIGNIFIED FUNERAL AND BURIAL A mAn accused of drugging numerous people in Sur-

rey and Langley so he could sexually assault and/or rob them has now pleaded guilty to several of the 24 charges he was facing.

The trial of Steven Beszedes began last week in New Westminster Supreme Court, where the 47-year-old pleaded not guilty to all 24 criminal counts – 12 of administering a drug to commit and indictable offence, seven of sexual assault, and five of robbery.

Most of his alleged victims were sex trade workers or drug addicts.

However, last week (March 13), Beszedes pleaded guilty to four of the drug charges, four of the robbery charges and one of sexual assault.

On six of the other drug charges, he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of criminal negligence causing bodily harm.

Crown prosecutors argued Beszedes drugged vulnerable people for his own benefit. His alleged victims claimed he offered them free drugs and that after taking them, they fell unconscious almost immediately, sometimes for a day or two.

Many, said prosecutors, reported waking up naked

Teens girls nabbed after SkyTrain stabbings

by Sheila Reynolds A pAir of teenage girls are facing charges after a series of stabbing incidents along the SkyTrain line Monday night.

Transit Police say the apparent rampage began outside the Gateway Sta-

or without underwear in parking lots, wooded areas or motels. Several said they’d been sexually assaulted, while others claimed items such as cash and jewelry had been stolen.

All of Beszedes’ alleged victims were females, except one. Some said they knew him from prior encounters, while others had just met him.

The Crown contended the sole male complainant connected with Beszedes after using Craigslist for a casual sexual encounter.

He claimed Beszedes and a woman went to his motor home on a rented Langley property. He, too, alleged he was offered free drugs which he did and immediately passed out.

In hospital, the man’s urine was found to contain the sedative/tranquilizer benzodiazepine – a drug the Crown argued was the same drug administered during his “dates” with the previous women.

The offences were alleged to have taken place between 2005 and 2010.

Court records indicate Beszedes has a lengthy criminal record stretching back to 2002 that includes convictions for mischief, break and enter, drug possession and theft.

His next court date is scheduled for April 11. tion in Surrey on March 18, when a 14- and 15-year-old girl got in a fight with two other women before boarding the train to New Westminster, where they attacked another woman before proceeding to Vancouver. At Joyce

Station, a man was then attacked and suffered a small cut to his finger.

The teens face charges including assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public.

Poll: Half of local air travellers fly out of U.S. Driving across the border to catch cheaper flights is a growing trend, survey shows

A new poll shows half

of Lower Mainland air travellers recently drove to the U.S. to catch a cheaper flight instead of using a B.C. airport.

The Insights West online survey found 51 per cent of respondents who flew anywhere in the last two years did so at least once by driving across the border to airports in Bellingham or Seattle.

“It was more than I

expected,” Insights West senior vice-president Catherine Dawson said.

She said the trend seems to be growing, with 23 per cent saying they cross the line more often to fly now than they did three years ago, compared to six per cent who said they do it less often.

Lower prices offered out of U.S. airports were the overwhelming reason, listed as an important factor by 97 per cent of those polled, far

ahead of considerations like airline preference, ease of border crossing, or whether they have friends or family across the line where they can stay or park their car.

Dawson said the 49 per cent who stuck to Canadian airports would include some who didn’t have a choice because they were flying to smaller B.C. towns not served by U.S. airports.

Had those been factored out, she said,

it might well be that a clear majority of Lower Mainland flyers with an option to fly via a U.S. airport are making that choice.

The poll found most Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley flyers using U.S. airports were heading to U.S. destinations, while 19 per cent were bound for other international cities.

But one finding Dawson called “very surprising” is that seven per cent were crossing

Cost of flights is the prime motivation for travellers from the Lower Mainland driving south to airports in Bellingham and Seattle. the line to take short flights of less than three hours to Canadian destinations and six per cent were taking longer flights back into Canada.

Dawson said the cost of flights is the “prime motivator” and air travellers polled were quick to blame both the airlines and the federal government but not themselves for using U.S. carriers.

Fully 97 per cent agreed, 72 per cent strongly, that Canadian airlines need to improve their pricing if they want to prevent Canadians from driving to U.S. airports. They also cited higher taxes and fees adding to Canadian ticket prices.

Dawson doubted whether that majority

view is logical.

“Is the Canadian air industry ever going to be competitive in the way U.S. airlines are?

I’m not sure they can. It sort of calls into question whether Canadians are being realistic or not.”

Insights West surveyed 450 Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley residents, and focused on the 77 per cent of local residents who took a flight of any kind in the last two years. For more details see www. insightswest.com.

The findings come on the heels of a February poll on cross-border shopping trends that found a large majority of the Lower Mainland’s residents regularly shop in the U.S.

Delta police attacked by pit bulls

Welcome Spring to your garden!

Officer shot and killed one of the dogs

by Kevin Diakiw

A DeltA police officer shot and killed a pit bull on

the weekend after it attacked the officer and his dog.

At just before 11 p.m. on Saturday, March 16, two Delta police officers were on patrol with their police dogs in the 700-block Chester Road on Annacis Island in North Delta.

Two pit bulls approached, attacking the officers and the dog. Police say they took out a baton and struck one of the attacking dogs, causing it to flee.

However the second pit bull continued to attack.

Several attempts to fend off that attack were fruitless.

One of the officers drew his sidearm and fatally

shot the dog.

The pit bulls’ owner and a second person arrived and allegedly attempted to obstruct the investigation. The two were subsequently arrested without incident, and have been released pending charges of obstruction of a police officer.

The officer was treated at the hospital and is home recovering from a bite wound and possible broken bones to the hand which required numerous stitches. The police dog has suffered puncture wounds to the head, ear and eye area and is currently receiving medical attention. The second officer is reported to have received several minor injuries to both hands as a result of fending off the other pit bull.

The investigation continues.

Salmon: B.C.’s official fish From page 14

decline.

“Hopefully we’ll get a run that’s much improved relative to 2009,” said Mike Lapointe, chief biologist for the Pacific Salmon Commission.

“If the run returns bigger and we’re able to get some rebuilding, that will be very important for the sockeye 5moving forward. It will be definitely be more than what we had in the parent year that produced it.”

Nobody is guaranteeing a commercial fishery yet.

The pre-season forecast shows a one-infour chance of a Fraser sockeye run below 2.7 million, which would likely rule out commercial fishing, and a one-in-10 chance it will be as bad as 2009.

But after the Cohen inquiry failed to come up with a single cause or solution to the slide, observers like Lapointe would be happy to continue to see an improving trendline.

Last year’s sockeye

return, while up, wasn’t enough to allow commercial fishing or sports angling.

There are no concerns about 2014 – next year marks the return of the huge Adams River run, which came back with a stunning return of more than 30 million sockeye in 2010, meaning enough fish spawned to assure at least a healthy run.

Nearly nine million pinks are forecast to return – below aver-

age and down from the last couple of runs of more than 15 million.

Still, Lapointe said there are good odds of some commercial fishing for pinks, which typically fetch around 40 cents a pound, compared to $1.50 to $2 for sockeye.

“It’s going to depend on how many pinks there are and how much interest there is (from the commercial fleet).”

Salmon named official fish emblem THE PROVINCIAL government on Saturday declared Pacific salmon to be B.C.’s official fish emblem, in recognition of its high ecological, cultural and economic significance.

The designation captures all Pacific salmonids – sockeye, chinook, coho, pink and chum, plus ocean-going steelhead and cutthroat trout.

“With the epic migration of Pacific salmon from B.C.’s rivers and streams to the ocean and back, there is no symbol more iconic of British Columbia,” Environment Minister Terry Lake said, adding they’re seen as indicators of overall ecosystem and wildlife health.

Salmon take a place among B.C. official symbols like the spirit bear (official mammal), western red cedar (official tree), Steller’s jay (official bird), jade (official mineral and Pacific dogwood (official floral emblem).

Pre-inspections aim to cut border delays Truckers wary of U.S. staff cuts

by Jeff Nagel U.S. cUStomS officials will be allowed to operate on Canadian soil in Surrey to inspect southbound trucks approaching the Pacific Highway border crossing in a new effort to reduce wait times.

The six-month pilot project agreed to March 14 by federal, provincial and U.S. officials designates a pre-clearance area for U.S.-bound trucks that will then be fast-tracked when they actually get to the border.

Truckers heading south can face significant waits at the border to get inspected by U.S. agents.

But B.C. Trucking Association president and CEO Louise Yako ADVERTISING FEATURE isn’t yet convinced the new project will result in improved crossing times.

SheJune, notedthe a series of With gradu-

other border efficiency initiatives have already resulted in average southbound truck wait times at the Pacific Highway crossing being reduced over the past year from 52 minutes to a recent low of just 16 minutes.

“We’re not sure how much can be gained from this new process,” Yako said. “While we’re pleased Pacific Highway has been identified as a pilot, we don’t want this to erode the work that has already been done.”

Overhead lighting and new signs will be installed at the Highway 15 pre-inspection site nearing the border.

A more immediate concern for truckers is the impending budgetdriven layoffs of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) staff who carry out their inspections.

Yako said the industry is bracing for the impact of longer border waits starting in midApril.

“There is a lot of concern among our members,” she said.

There’s talk of pursuing some sort of contingency plan, she said, if a worst-case scenario develops, partly crippling cross-border trucking for months.

The main hope is that U.S. legislators reach a speedy deal on budget reductions to avert the indiscriminate across-the-board cuts to federal departments that were recently triggered.

CBP officials in the U.S. had warned the peak waits at the busiest land crossings could double to five hours or more as a result of cuts in theircrete department. utility pole

The mad path of warehousing the sick Almost 200 years ago, locking up the mentally ill in jail was seen as inhumane. Today, one-third of B.C.’s prison population suffers from mental health issues. How did we get here?

an unfortunate part of the cityscape.

NightShift Street Ministries has fed the hungry every night for nine years in Whalley, while also offering counselling and other services.

MaryAnne Connor, a pastor with NightShift, said the bulk of her clients have mental health issues.

“At least 60 to 80 per cent of the people up here are suffering from mental illnesses,” Connor says. “And the bulk of those are also suffering from addiction.”

Social service providers throughout Surrey often point to the closure of Riverview, and the subsequent lack of community supports, as the reason homeless shelters, food line-ups, and Surrey streets are largely filled with those struggling with mental illness.

While the province does provide some group homes and assisted living, it’s clearly not enough, according to Surrey Coun. Judy Villeneuve, who has fought for more social infrastructure in the city for the last 24 years.

The nature of mental illness complicates matters, she said. Many people without the ability to take their medications on a regular basis are choosing to be without the necessary supports.

“By legislation, people with mental illness have the ability to make their own decisions on where they want to live,” Villeneuve said.

One in five of those with a mental illness slip into substance abuse, become disorderly or engage in criminal activity, and end up in the justice system.

Clayton began hearing the voices of what he called demons and angels when he was 21 years old. He wasn’t diagnosed with schizophrenia until age 42, and it took many years to find the right medication. and able to fit in with the community, he’s been trying to help others on the street.

He thinks the province needs to spend more money and resources on outreach for those who are sick and counselling

for people seeking help.

It’s those things that helped Clayton ignore his demons and finally reach out to medical professionals for help.

Like Clayton, Hempton says the worst mani-

Two-year transit property tax axed

Thursday, March 21, 2013 Surrey/North Delta Leader 29

Sunday April 28, 2013

Lace up for someone you love

Automatic three-per-cent annual increase still proceeding

by Jeff Nagel TransLink won’T add

a temporary property tax increase of $23 per average home that had previously been approved and was to remain in place for this year and next year.

Area mayors had okayed the time-limited tax hike in 2011 as a back-up measure in case new funding sources from the province didn’t materialize, although they fully expected Victoria would deliver.

When that didn’t happen, mayors last year indicated by a non-binding vote they wanted to scrap the tax hike, which would have generated an extra $60 million in property tax over 2013 and 2014.

TransLink initially warned last summer removal of the tax could trigger deep service cuts or project cancellations, because it was already struggling with revenue

shortfalls, notably a drop in fuel tax collected.

Mayors countered late in the fall, vowing to axe the tax increase and blame the province for any service cuts that ensued if it refused to grant a new revenue source by February.

None was forthcoming but TransLink’s board has now agreed to remove the increase, saying enough offsetting money has now been saved through cost cutting.

Mayors in Langley, Surrey and White Rock had previously opposed eliminating the property tax hike, fearing that might torpedo the new Highway 1 express bus over the Port Mann Bridge and King George Boulevard B-Line.

Those projects are proceeding, but it will take more money than TransLink now has to fully implement them as originally proposed – higher frequency on the Highway 1 express bus

and extending the King George B-Line to White Rock.

Mayors continue to demand new cash sources for TransLink, including a regional sales tax of up to 0.5 per cent, an annual vehicle levy or a share of B.C.’s carbon tax, plus longerterm implementation of comprehensive road tolls.

Despite the latest decision, TransLink’s regular annual property tax increase is still proceeding.

Provincial law allows the transportation authority to raise its total property taxes, which have gradually climbed to almost $300 million, by three per cent each year without the mayors’ approval.

An owner of a home assessed at the regional average of $712,000 paid more than $230 to TransLink in 2012, while a business assessed at $2 million paid more than $3,000.

Participating in the walk is extremely comforting and uplifting. I know I am not alone in the battle with this disease.

Chris Hunger Captain, Team Hunger

by Kevin Diakiw a 40-year-oLd man was slapped

with a fine and had his car impounded on March 15 after a road rage incident.

According to Deas Island RCMP, the man driving a Nissan Maxima believed he had been cut off by another driver in a Jeep Wrangler while travelling southbound on Highway 99.

The man in the Maxima began to chase the other driver while making threatening and taunting gestures.

When he continued chasing and tailgating the other car, the 52-yearold driver of the other vehicle called

the police.

Officers were waiting at Ladner Trunk Road and stopped the man, charging him with Driving Without Reasonable Consideration for Others and Following Too Closely. He was fined $305 and his car impounded for a minimum of seven days.

“Driving in a dangerous manner out of anger, no matter what another person has allegedly done is clearly not acceptable or tolerated,” said Sgt. Lorne Lecker of Deas Island Traffic Services.

“The public is reminded that, rather than take matters into their own hands, they should try to obtain the other vehicle license plate number and call police to report the incident.”

tation critic says Lower Mainland public transportation needs major upgrades and that the most urgent needs are in the Metro Vancouver area south of the Fraser River.

“South of Fraser transit would be my first choice, then (replacement of the aging) Pattullo Bridge,” said Harry Bains, the MLA for Surrey-Newton.

Bains was speaking at a public forum hosted by the Fort LangleyAldergrove NDP in Aldergrove on Saturday.

Bains said there were merits to the various options being considered by the TransLink board, which include SkyTrain, light rail and rapid buses, and he would prefer to leave it to the mayors on the TransLink board to “agree on the technology. But in the meantime we could add more

buses, with dedicated initiatives across the bus lanes. We could do province. this very quickly.”

He observed that Bains said about $500 milTransLink lion of the $1.2 operating billion collected funding annually in remains a carbon taxes goes contentious to corporations, issue but that through purchase he would lean of carbon credits. toward easing “That was a that burden bad decision harry Bains by allocating made at the a portion of cabinet table the provincial carbon that has cost us dearly. tax revenues to public It is punishing (motor transit and other “green” vehicle) drivers for not

taking transit, without spending the money on better transit,” said Bains.

“The goal is to have fewer cars but we can only do that if we have efficient, affordable public transit.”

Bains said that south of the Fraser receives one hour of service to the 1.9 hours received north of the Fraser, adding that, “82 per cent of the trips made south of the Fraser remain south of the Fraser.”

by Tom Fletcher WiTh one Crude oil pipeline to the B.C. coast in

environmental hearings and another waiting to apply, the federal government has announced stricter rules for foreign oil tanker inspections and more coastal flights looking for signs of oil spills.

A new Canadian Coast Guard incident command system, improved hazard markers for shipping, increased surveillance flights, and research into the hazards of heavy oil were announced Monday in Vancouver by federal Transport Minister Denis Lebel and Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver.

The government has also tabled new legislation it says will strengthen requirements for pollution prevention and response at oil facilities and introduce new offences and penalties related to pollution.

Foreign tankers will have to be inspected annually, a rule now in place for Canadian vessels, to see if they are equipped with double hulls and other safety features.

A tanker safety expert panel was also announced to review current standards and recommend further rules. Lebel and Oliver described the program as moving to a “world-class tanker safety system,” the term used

by B.C. Premier Christy Clark last year when she announced conditions for provincial acceptance of increased heavy oil shipments by pipeline and tanker.

Oliver said in an interview that the changes are not a response to the B.C. government’s demands. When Clark presented five conditions last summer, Oliver immediately agreed with four of them, related to oil spill safety and aboriginal consultation. The fifth was an unspecified “fair share” of revenues from oil exports.

“There hasn’t been a single major tanker spill off the coast of British Columbia, ever,” Oliver said. “But we want to make sure we keep that record, and in the very unlikely event that something untoward happens, we want to be able to respond quickly and comprehensively.”

B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake said the announcement is a welcome step.

Program described as “world-class tanker safety system.”

Adam Tambellini of the Surrey Eagles knocks James Robinson of the Langley Rivermen to the ice during their BCHL playoff series. Tambellini scored three times in a 6-3 win

by Surrey Tuesday night, which clinched the best-of-five series in four games.

Eagles advance to round two Surrey eliminates Langley Rivermen in four-game series

by Nick Greenizan A BRAdy SHAw goal 35 seconds into the game set the tone early, and Adam Tambellini had a hat trick and added an assist to help propel the Surrey Eagles into the second round of BC Hockey League playoffs.

The Eagles defeated the Langley Rivermen 6-3 Tuesday night at the Langley Events Centre, winning the best-of-five series 3-1. On Monday night, Surrey won Game 3 by a 6-2 score.

The latter two contests were in stark contrast to the first two in South Surrey, where goals were in short supply and each team’s netminders were stellar.

“Anytime you win a series, you’re excited as a group. It was big for us, to win two games on the road and score six both nights,” Eagles head coach Matt Erhart told the team’s play-by-play announcer Brendan Batchelor after the game.

In Game 3 Monday night, the Eagles – whose high-powered offense was largely stifled by the Rivermen on the weekend – finally exploded with six goals, including four in the third period to break what up until that point was a close 2-1 game.

Michael Stenerson scored once and added a pair of assists, Tambellini had two goals and Shaw added a goal and one helper. Defenceman Craig Wyszomirski and Demico Hannoun rounded out the scoring.

Regardless of their second-round opponent, the second round – also a best-of-five series – will begin tomorrow (Friday) night at the South Surrey Arena.

The second game of the round will be played Saturday in South Surrey before the series shifts to either Prince George or Chilliwack Monday and, if necessary, Tuesday. A fifth game, if required, would be played back in South Surrey on Wednesday, March 27.

Falcons need one more win in Richmond Four local teams at BC Hockey provincial tournaments

by Rick Kupchuk Four local teams have qualified for BC Hockey provincial championship tournaments that are underway this week.

The Surrey Female Hockey Association has two teams in competition in Richmond, in both the Pee Wee Female and Midget Female categories.

The Surrey Falcons won three of five games in the Pee Wee tournament, but fell one victory short of advancing to the championship game.

The Falcons defeated the Prince George Cougars 9-1 in

their first game Sunday, then scored three unanswered goals in the third period of their game Monday to defeat the Abbotsford Ice 7-3.

Their losses were a 6-1 setback to the undefeated Richmond Ravens Monday night, and a 4-1 loss to North Shore on Tuesday evening. They closed out the tournament with a 9-2 triumph Wednesday morning over the Vancouver Angels.

Richmond is also hosting the Midget Female tournament, where the Surrey Falcons are tied for second place with two

wins, a loss and a tie in four games played.

Surrey’s first game was a 7-4 victory over Cranbrook, with Ashley Long scoring twice and Sarah Gahan, Mackenzie Jackson, Jessica Gill, Danielle Aviani and Emily Bajkov adding one each.

Sydney Kreps and Katrina Olfelt scored for the Falcons in a 2-2 draw with Salmon Arm Monday afternoon.

Surrey played twice Tuesday, the first game an 8-1 victory over Smithers. Alyssa Randhawa netted four goals and Chanel Sergeant scored two.

Long and Madisson Eaton were the other goal scorers, with Aviani collecting five assists.

The host Richmond Ravens blanked the Falcons 5-0 Tuesday night, leaving Surrey needing just a tie in yesterday’s game (after press times for The Leader) against Tri-Cities to advance to the championship game.

The Cloverdale Colts qualified for the Midget Tier 1 tournament in Abbotsford, and have one win in their first four games.

They surrendered three power play goals and a short-

handed tally in a 7-1 loss to Kelowna Sunday afternoon, then fell 6-5 to Abbotsford that evening.

Their final game was against Prince George yesterday.

On Monday, Langley doubled the Colts 4-2 in the morning, before Cloverdale topped Comox Valley 11-5 in the evening for their only victory.

North Delta will be at the Juvenile tournament in Richmond over the weekend, playing five games in four days before the championship game Monday night.

ADVERTORIAL

PAIN RELIEF

FOR CHRONIC AILMENTS

SNORING?

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D.

Loose muscles

in the throat cause snoring, also interrupted breathing and gasping for air (sleep apnea), which brings on being tired all day, need for napping, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks, irregular heart beat. Read below how Bell helps thousands, usually first night, inexpensively, with no side effects. Greatly improves quality of life and saves marriages. Survey says 48% snore and 75% are suffering if you include the silent suffering partners. To my surprise, after taking BellSound Sleep #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning.

Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH < Sleep apnea capsules worked first night!

For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS < For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. #23 Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS <It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. < Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing. Suzie Weigel, 60, Chattanooga, TN.

HARDENED ARTERIES?

Calcium Build-up...means hardening of the arteries, heart valves, joints, brain, muscles, kidneys, liver. Plus all soft tissues

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, PhD. 50% of all deaths in North America are caused by calcification and hardening of the arteries (arterialsclerosis, high blood pressure) and calcification of heart valves (aortic-valve stenosis). Calcium build-up also affects our brain (Alzheimer), tendons, muscles, glands, ducts, eyes, liver, kidneys, in fact all soft tissues in our body. Calcium build-up in knees, shoulders and other joints can be very gritty and painful. Before you have your joint scoped and scraped, try #71.This should not be confused with the very commonly occurring worn cartilage (arthritis) in the joints, which can be treated much more quickly with Bell Shark Cartilage #1 usually within 2-3 weeks with a money-back guarantee. Medical schools do not teach natural treatments like these, so your doctor may not be familiar with natural medicines. Inform yourselves. You are responsible for your own health, not your doctor and not the government. Go on the public internet and get more details.

Everybody knows today something about calcium build-up. Virtually everyone is increasingly affected as we age and we should not wait until the symptoms get worse.

Health experts say further calcium build-up can be halted and even reversed. Vitamin K2 plus D3 and five components form a unique treatment created by Dr. Hammoud #71 based on scientific research over the last decades. These are by far some of the most important vitamins you can take for your overall health. Most scientific discoveries do not get through to the public other than advertised synthetic drugs.

Bell uses the power of nature to help put life back into your lifestyle

Frequent Bathroom Trips?

Bell Prostate Ezee Flow Tea #4a

<Relief in 3-5 days from dribbling, burning and rushing to the toilet. If you are considering surgery, try this tea first. Must work or money refunded. 99% success rate. Helps virtually everybody quickly.

The only prostate remedy that works so well that it comes with a moneyback guarantee. Literally hundreds of delighted men testifying on our web site:< Doctor said to keep on drinking the tea. Prescribed prostate drugs did not help. Leonard Pearcey, Wassis, NB <I cancelled my prostate surgery. Get up once a night. I'm so happy not to have to face the torment of a prostate operation and incontinence or impotency. Albert E. Blain, 74, Schumacher, ON <Even after TURP prostate surgery and microwave therapy had to get up many times. Now down to 1-2 times. Tea is 100% better than drugs. Robert G. Stocker, Eustasis, FL <After 1st year drinking tea my PSA went down to 4.5; after 2nd year to 2.9; after 3rd year to 2.3. I highly recommend the tea. A real life saver. Thomas M. Thurston, Forsyth, GA. <Women suffering with incontinence, bladder infections, UTIs ask for Bladder Control Tea for Women #4b. Guaranteed relief within days.

CURCUMIN

Helps with back pain, inflammation, stomach troubles, strengthens heart muscle and circulation, reduces nervousness and insomnia.

With Cayenne pepper Dr. D. Servan-Schreiber M.D. writes in his book “ANTICANCER” pepper multiplies the body’s absorption of curcumin by two thousand times. <Lower back pain relief. Took 2 capsules and 1 at night.

Next morning my back pain was completely gone. Heating pad and drugs did not help. Valerie Peoples, 53, Jonesboro, GA < Parking ticket officer had stress relief, no more angina chest pain, increased blood circulation in cold whether, has now also warm hands and feet.

He’s added another two goals and four assists while playing in seven of Aldergrove’s 10 playoff contests, and is among a group of six skaters from Surrey playing for the Kodiaks.

The brother act of Spencer and Scott McHaffie finished second and fourth respectively during the regular season, Spencer with 18 goals and 45 points, Scott with 11 goals and 43 points. They continue to provide offense in the playoffs, with Scott scoring four times and adding 12 assists, and Spencer adding a team-best six goals to go with seven assists.

A fourth forward from Surrey, Ryan Veillet, tallied 11 times and assisted on 19 other goals during the regular season, netting five goals and 12 points in the postseason.

home since moving here after the 1996 Olympics,” said Esmie, adding he wants “to make the club number one in the Lower Mainland and attract the best coaches that will inspire, empower and mentor the athletes as they reach for their dreams.”

The South Fraser Track and Field Club was established in 1964, and is based out of Bear Creek Park. The club is open to elementary, high school, senior and masters athletes in the disciplines of sprints, distance, jumps and throws.

The club welcomes both recreational and competitive athletes.

“The 2013 season is going to be very exciting and inspiring for the South Fraser Track and Field Club,” said president Zebe Piacsezny. “Robert’s passion, enthusiasm and dedication towards the sport of track and field and our athletes will bring a new image for the club.”

Panther curlers place third at provincials

Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary’s boys team has taken third place at the B.C. high school curling championships.

The Panthers won the final round robin game in Kamloops, against Frances Kelsey Secondary, forcing a tie-breaker between Coquitlam’s Centennial Secondary, Frances Kelsey Secondary and Lord Tweedsmuir.

Tweedsmuir then lost to Frances Kelsey in the tie-breaker, and Frances Kelsey went on to lose to Centennial in the final game.

Tweedsmuir’s Tyler Tardi, Jordan Tardi, Rhett Hildenbrandt and Liam Purgavie had to play without the team’s 5th, Brad Hildenbrandt, because he was busy winning a bronze medal at the B.C. high school wrestling provincials in Comox at the time.

It’s the Panthers’ best showing at the provincials in nearly two decades. The team landed in fifth place in 1995-96, and placed seventh the following year.

Obsessivepercussive Surrey’s Shell Duckett has rhythm to spare – and share – with drumming workshops for teens during spring break

by Brenda Anderson

S

hell Duckett can trace her obsession with percussive instruments back to the 1970s.

Watching television as a 10-year-old girl, the sight of Karen Carpenter hammering away on a set of drums put Duckett on top of the world.

“It was the first time I’d seen a female drummer. It was an epiphany … my whole world opened up and I just couldn’t get it out of my head,” said Duckett, sitting and drinking tea in her second-floor studio in the new Langley Arts Council building on Fraser Highway.

It’s here that the Surrey woman is offering music and drumming workshops for special needs teenagers throughout spring break.

Surrounded by dozens of instruments, from djembes (hourglass-shaped hand drums) to guitars, ukuleles, sleigh bells and maracas, the founder of Drumfoot Studio is in her element – happy to offer a quick demonstration of hand drumming techniques or to grab a guitar and perform a short, but upbeat, rhyming song she wrote for her students.

It’s a far cry from the pots, pans and wooden spoons Duckett began pounding together when she first decided to become a drummer.

“I didn’t know what the heck I was doing – I just went for it,” she laughed.

Although she can’t recall exactly, Duckett thinks that first performance probably happened some time in the fall, because it was a few months later that she discovered her very first set of drums under the Christmas tree.

BRENDA ANDERSON / BLACK PRESS doesn’t remember asking for them, but what Shell Duckett sheShe Shell Duckett of Drumfoot Studios plays a djembe in her space at the Langley Arts does recall is that they were red and sparkly Council building, where she offers drumming workshops. and loud.

“Whenever I went to a school, they’d ask, ‘Did you bring your drum, did you “I could bash the heck out of (the drums) and they wouldn’t say a word.” bring your guitar?’

One day, the lead singer asked her for a ride to an audition. As she waited, “It’s rewarding for me. I’m happiest using music in the education spectrum.”

Shirley passed away peacefully on March 14th, 2013, after a long battle with Huntington’s Disease. She spent her final days surrounded by family, listening to her children and siblings share their favourite “mom”-ories. Shirley was born in Victoria BC, the second of five siblings. She grew up in Kamloops and Maple Ridge, graduating from Maple Ridge Secondary School in 1973, and the University of British Columbia with a BA in Psychology in 1979. Shirley held a special place in heart for her pets, who are now welcoming her with wagging tails. Shirley also loved her work helping those with disabilities, bowling, slopitch, and spending summers camping & relaxing in Shuswap Lake.

Shirley is survived by her son James (Heather), daughter Sara (Adam), siblings Norma (Edward), Neil (Marguerite), Karen (Rob), & Lori (Michael), and her grand-pets. The family would like to thank the staff at Evergreen Hamlets and the ICU of Surrey Memorial Hospital for their kindness and excellent care.

Please join us for a celebration of Shirley’s life on Saturday, March 23, at 11 a.m. at Garden Hill Funeral Home, 11765 224th Street, Maple Ridge. Wear blue (Shirley’s favourite colour) and bring your Shirley stories & bowling shoes (5-pin bowling to follow at 2:30 p.m. Shirley’s sport of choice).
