REVVING UP RECYCLING

Allegations surface of intimidation, sabotage of trucks

Port truckers vote to strike

Surrey and Delta firms part of expanded blue box program launching in May

by Jeff Nagel PORT METRO Vancouver is vowing

to banish some container truckers it accuses of resorting to violence and sabotage to apply more pressure as they threaten a complete shutdown.

“There are now allegations and evidence some protesters are disrupting port operations, including violence, intimidation and sabotage of trucks and property,” the port authority said in an emailed statement. “These individuals will be identified and their licences to access port property will be terminated.”

Truckers say wait times to pick up containers at Louise Yako the port’s terminals have become far too long and have demanded federal and provincial government intervention in the dispute. Longer waits mean fewer trips completed each day and less pay.

Several hundred independent non-union truckers halted work last week and 400 unionized truckers who serve Deltaport, Vanterm and Fraser Surrey Docks voted unanimously for strike action Saturday.

Workers sort out contaminants at Emterra Environmental’s material recovery facility in Surrey. The plant is one of three that will process recyclables collected for Multi-Material BC.

by Jeff Nagel A NEW CONTAINER recycling plant will

be built in the Lower Mainland this year as industry stewardship group MultiMaterial B.C. takes over responsibility for an expanded blue box recycling program.

MMBC on Thursday named Green

tal and Merlin Plastics are the three companies that have joined forces to invest $32 million building the new container recycling plant, a new material recovery facility in Nanaimo, as well as other infrastructure.

Green By Nature won’t handle the curbside collection of packaging – that will still be done mostly by local municipalities, except for a few locations where new collectors are yet to be named.

Besides new plants, existing operations will also be used.

A material recovery facility in Surrey run

by Emterra will help sort materials, and the plastics recovered are expected to be processed at Merlin Plastics’ plant in Delta.

A site for the new container plant hasn’t yet been revealed.

“The entire system is designed to shift everything into two streams,” said MMBC managing director Allen Langdon. “One is for fibres – newspapers, cardboard and printed papers – and the other for containers.”

Union: Frustrated by rates, waits From page 1 unionized truckers represented

by Unifor-Vancouver Container Truckers’ Association had not yet issued 72-hour strike notice.

The B.C. Trucking Association, which represents trucking companies, said brake lines were cut on two trucks that tried to load at terminals last week when they encountered protesting truckers who had previously promised a peaceful education campaign.

The port obtained a court injunction Friday to prevent further disruption at terminals and released a video it said shows a protester cutting a brake line.

“Drivers are being approached by some of the so-called educators, things are being thrown at trucks, things are being said to the drivers,” BCTA president Louise Yako said.

“There are reports of drivers being called at home and very strongly encouraged not to come to work.”

Yako said many companies and drivers “are extremely frustrated who want to be able to work and who want to be able to service their customers.”

Western Canadian Shippers’ Coalition chairman Ian May said the demand by the United Truckers Association (UTA) of owner-operators for $100 per hour compensation when they idling more than an hour in port line-ups would render the Lower

The port says wages are an issue between truckers and the companies that employ them.

Port officials say wait times are not extreme – most trucks wait less than an hour to pick up or drop off cargo – but they’re pursuing numerous initiatives to speed the movement of containers.

The BCTA has tabled an eightpoint plan it says could help end the dispute.

The proposals include payment of an efficiency fee to trucking firms hurt by delays and extended truck loading hours at port terminals. The port says terminal operators have agreed to an extended hours pilot project.

Mainland’s container export business uncompetitive.

The UTA has also called for a mediator, mirroring what was done in 2005 to end a six-week work stoppage that paralyzed the port. Union reps say rates haven’t been changed since the deal brokered then by mediator Vince Ready but wait times have grown considerably.

Container truckers deserve fairer compensation for helping the port and the economy grow, said Unifor national president Jerry Dias.

“If workers can’t share in that wealth, we’ll help shut that port down until they get it.”

Surrey student wins $80,000 scholarship Shakti Ramkumar named a Loran Scholar

by Sheila Reynolds A SURREY high school student who was

recently featured in The Leader after a unique expedition to Antarctica has now been named a recipient of a national award worth up to $80,000.

Shakti Ramkumar, a Kwantlen Park Secondary Grade 12 student, is among 30 graduating high school students from across the country chosen from nearly 3,500 applicants as a Loran Scholar by the Canadian Merit Scholarship Foundation.

“These students have shown integrity, determination, and an entrepreneurial spirit

through the breadth and depth of their extracurricular activities,” said Franca Gucciardi, executive director of the foundation and a 1990 Loran Scholar. “These are traits that Canada’s future leaders need to succeed and contribute to a thriving society.”

According to the foundation, the top 30 students were chosen on the basis of “character, service and leadership potential.”

Ramkumar heads the global awareness club at her school and co-founded an environmental club that created a community garden and helps maintain a neighbourhood park. She also volunteers at various City of Surrey events and is involved with the youth sustainability network.

It was her environmental stewardship that led her to Antarctica in December with Students on Ice, which offers youth from around

the world such expeditions to give them better understanding of the planet.

The selection process included regional and national interviews over three months. A total of 73 finalists participated in two days of interviews in Toronto in mid-February. The finalists who were not selected receive a $3,000 award.

Merit scholarships for those named Loran Scholars may be used at one of 25 partner universities, and include a $9,000 annual stipend and tuition waiver, a summer program with funding up to $8,500, a week-long expedition to Algonquin Park in Ontario, and a one-onone mentorship and participation in the community with past and present Loran Scholars.

There were six other B.C. students among the top 30. For more information, check loranscholar.ca sreynolds@surreyleader.com

New system: Will allow more items in blue boxes

Former prime ministers (from left) Ehud Barak (Israel), Julia Gillard (Australia) and George Papandreou (Greece) addressed a crowd of about 1,000 at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel during the Surrey Regional Economic Summit on Thursday.

From page 1 The new system – still slated to launch May 19 – promises to add 10 new types of containers or other materials to what households can place in blue boxes.

The new categories include milk cartons, foam packaging, plant pots, aluminum foil packages, plastic clamshell containers and drink cups.

Langdon said a public education campaign will launch in late April.

In most communities, glass bottles and jars will be directed to depots, instead of curbside pickup, but Langdon said there are exceptions, as some municipalities have opted to continue segregated glass pickup.

MMBC says it needs to keep glass separate from paper and other recyclables to avoid contamination that slashes the value of materials.

Allen Langdon “There will be a much better chance of it being recycled,” Langdon said, noting 90 per cent of glass going into blue boxes actually now ends up going to landfills.

MMBC’s operations are expected to cost $85 million per year and be fully funded by its member businesses, which include major retailers and consumer product makers.

The stewardship group is targeting a 75 per cent recycling rate, up from 50 per cent province-wide now.

The producer-pay system, mandated by the provincial government, has been controversial.

Cities have feared they’ll be forced to pay more to maintain service, while businesses worry about paperwork and MMBC-levied fees to recycle the packaging they generate.

He said Israel is “more of a dinghy than a super tanker,” so it was able to react quicker to the crisis. Like Australia, Israel also has a very conservative banking system.

That said, Israel was very worried about the state of Europe, which is the country’s biggest trading partner.

He said the world is still in for a deep and long change in how financial institutions do business.

Barak said lessons learned include the absolute speed with which America responded to the crisis, and thereby minimized the damage, compared to Europe’s relatively slow response.

In Greece, where austerity measures were causing huge public demonstrations, Papandreou said it was a difficult time to be a leader.

“Even though they are shouting against you, they are feeling deep pain because their pensions were cut,” he said. “It was a shock, it was a real shock.”

Leaders had to make the tough decisions and suffer the political costs, he said.

Gillard said the lesson of the financial crisis is there is nothing too far away to affect you personally.

“What’s happening on your television screen coming from overseas one minute is sitting next to you… the next,”

Gillard said. “That is the lesson of the global financial crisis.”

Papandreou agreed, adding Greece is on the rebound.

However, deep austerity measures throughout the rest of Europe have taken their toll, he said.

“Europe has been in quite a deep recession for the past few years,” Papandreou said.

But he believes Greece will not only persevere, but will thrive in the coming years.

Barak said the world is entering into a second industrial revolution, adding most jobs will soon be done by robots.

The more advanced countries, he said, will have to figure out what to do with its population.

“It’s a major challenge,” Barak said.

“When you get too close to the wall, it might be too late to turn or solve the issues.”

Surrey’s annual summit was opened

by B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong, who highlighted details of the provincial budget.

Other speakers included Texas oilman and philanthropist T. Boone Pickens and an economic panel featuring Ken Peacock, Michael Goldberg, Andrew Ramlo, and Shauna Sylvester.

POLICE DISCLOSURE

Better informed, better protected

RAESIDE

S

urrey RCMP’s release last month of a security video showing an acid attack on a woman in Newton is disturbing on any number of levels.

First and foremost is the horrific nature of the attack itself, in which a man threw acid at Tammy Sinclair’s face after engaging her in casual conversation behind her ATV store.

In the Sept. 13, 2013 attack, Sinclair’s neck and shoulder were burned by what is believed to have been muriatic acid, and she lost some of her eyesight.

To watch the casual nature of the encounter – so mundane at the start – and then see the sudden viciousness is chilling indeed. But what is also disturbing is the more than five-month lag in releasing the security footage.

It seems the video has jogged the memory of more than one person, and police have received a spate of tips since the clip was made public Feb. 21. One wonders how many other tips would have been forthcoming if it had been released sooner.

In a time of heightened awareness of crimes against women in Surrey – the apparently random beating death of Newton hockey mom Julie Paskall still in the forefront of people’s minds – would it not have been in the public interest to highlight this attack with greater urgency, before others could potentially be at risk?

Perhaps officers were respecting a desire for privacy on the part of the victim.

Perhaps they were following protocol of holding back information that only they and the perpetrator could know. Perhaps, too, police had every expectation that other leads would produce a suspect, but the release of the video suggests earlier lines of inquiry weren’t working .

It’s likely true that the public, including the media, have an imperfect understanding of police methodology. But it seems police have an imperfect understanding of the public’s need – and right – to know, for their own peace of mind.

More than a rubbernecking nuisance, an observant public ought to be considered a resource for law enforcement, particularly in an age of cellphone cameras and the potential for lightning exchange of information online.

The latest call for information on a five-month old crime seems a further acknowledgement that police could be more in step with the public they serve.

Here’s a sample of the volume of evidence that may determine the future of B.C. Archeological studies presented at trial describe “18 roasting and/or pit depressions” at Teztan Biny. It’s not clear if these were for seasonal food preparation or for pit houses, which would indicate a more permanent settlement at the lake. Nor is it clear whether these “cultural depressions” have been identified as being of Tsilhqot’in origin.

Oral histories are also uncertain. Tsilhqot’in witnesses testified that Teztan Biny has been used in the 20th century as a hunting and fishing camp. The mine was rejected due to ill-defined cultural as well as environmental concerns. B.C. residents could finally see some answers this year.

Mental illness still misunderstood Runaway

RECENT STORIES of violent crime in the media have not only left local communities shaken, they have led to a focus in public conversations on how individuals suffering with serious mental illness and substance abuse issues are making our communities unsafe.

These individuals continue to be misunderstood and marginalized by society. The mentally ill who struggle with substance abuse generally do not commit crimes. Only a very small part of this population exhibits violent behaviour; however, it is this population that often gets highlighted in the media.

The fact is that about one in five people will experience a mental disorder or substance abuse problem in their lifetime. Unfortunately, the stigma associated with mental illness and drug or alcohol abuse often prevents those who have early onset challenges from getting the help they need and preventing a more serious health issue from developing.

It is time to recognize that mental illness and substance use is not just something that happens to “them’.” Mental health and substance abuse impact our co-workers, our families, our friends, and our children.

bill from my city. For comparison, I pulled out my records to see the bill I paid in 2004 – 10 years ago.

Well, in 2004, I paid $553 and now in 2014 the bill amount is $960. An increase of more than 73 per cent over the 10-year period. Wow! Had my income gone up that high over the same period?

My expenses certainly have outpaced my income in real dollar terms. Where do people find the money to pay for all these everincreasing expenses?

Now I am “expectantly” looking forward to the bigger assault – the property tax bill from my beloved city.

If I don’t pay the bill before the due date, I will have to find an extra five per cent as late payment fee. I wonder, are the city budget architects praying that all residents end up paying five per cent more to rescue their budget each year?

Indeed our governments are facing a spending problem, not a revenue problem.

Grundfos, which develops, manufactures and sells highquality pumps and pumping systems around the world, launched the technical school initiative in 2011 with the dual objective of supporting student talent and developing its potential workforce.

KPU is one of four Canadian post-secondaries to benefit from the global pump manufacturer.

Cyclist Victimized Twice — GREG SMITH LAW CORPORATION As required by BC law, the contractor rode his bike as close as possible to the right side of the road. The particular road had one lane in each direction. Cars were park on the side of the road. The lane was wide enough for traffic to pass by. The cyclist was forced to ride in between traffic and the parked cars.

The Motor Vehicle Act, s. 158, allows you to pass a car on the right when there is a lane in which you are permitted to drive.

By law cyclists have the same rights and duties as drivers. The ‘lane’ the cyclist is forced to use is a ‘lane’ when the cars go by the cyclist, but it effectively stops being a ‘lane’ when the bike passes cars slowing up in traffic.

When traffic backs up and a cyclist pedals alongside and passes the slowing cars, the cyclist loses the right of way. As such, if a car coming the other way turns left into the bike, as in this case, the car has the right of way. The law allows cars to pass on the right when there is a lane. This makes sense because it is efficient and keeps traffic flowing.

When a cyclist is using the lane provided, should the Law LawCorporation Corporation same principles and laws apply.

The full text of the decision is at: http://www. courts.gov.bc.ca/jdb-txt/SC/12/07/2012BCSC0783.htm

A 44 year old construction contractor suffered multiple fractures and other serious injuries when an oncoming car made a left turn across his path, crashing into his bicycle and throwing his body to the pavement. His injuries were severe but his losses did not stop there. Applying B.C. law a Supreme Court Judge ruled the cyclist recovers only half his wage loss, treatment expenses and other damages caused by the collision.

British Columbia proudly promotes cycling. Cyclists know they are vulnerable. But do they know our law sometimes leaves the most vulnerable of our commuters less than fully protected.

Income tax season breeds new scam: Police Instagram users among targets in BBB’s top 10 frauds

by Jeff Nagel FRAUDSTERS ARE impersonat-

ing Canada Revenue Agency officers to target Lower Mainland residents with a new phone scam that keys on income tax season.

It’s not on the list of top 10 scams for 2014 announced Friday by the Better Business Bureau because reports have just begun to surface about the unlikely sounding fraud.

Scammers who claim to be federal revenue agents accuse victims of owing back taxes and warn a warrant for their arrest will be issued if they don’t pay up pronto.

“They’re quite threatening and they’re quite aggressive,” Vancouver Police Det.-Const. Linda Grange said.

Victims are persuaded to buy gift cards in amounts of up to $2,500 from major retailers and phone back with the activation codes. In two recent cases, the cards were for Home Depot and Safeway. Other victims sent money orders.

“They’re very convincing,” Grange said. “You panic and you think there’s a warrant and all of a sudden you’re running off to the store to get a gift card.”

The scam may become “quite prevalent” as the deadline to file income tax returns nears, she said.

Grange said the VPD also

continues to field large numbers of complaints about fraudulent ticket selling through online sites.

“If you’re going to buy a ticket on Craigslist or Kijiji or any other website there’s a huge, huge chance it’s fraud,” she said, estimating over half of tickets advertised on the two big free classifieds sites are bogus.

“You’re not going to get to the concert or event. You’re going to lose your money. It’s rampant.”

Some sellers purport to have a receipt for the tickets, giving an impression of legitimacy, but the receipt is usually a fake as well.

Grange said some perpetrators caught recently by investigators turned out to be young kids who were even more convincing because they talked about having to get home to do homework.

“They make you trust them, but you can’t trust them because they’re taking up to $1,000, putting it in their pocket and they walk off.”

She recommends using only authorized sellers.

Better Business Bureau of Mainland B.C. president and CEO Danielle Primrose said one of the top 10 scams highlighted for this year targets Instagram users.

Scammers post images on the photo-sharing app of tempting prize giveaways, purportedly from big brands and retailers.

But the images link to other websites that try to get credit card information and Instagram users end up helping the scam by widely sharing in order to qualify for the fake contest.

Primrose said spammers are also increasingly using fake or real gossip about celebrities like Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus to get social media users to spread bogus content, which sometimes takes victims to sites that install malware on their computers.

Other scams on this year’s top 10 list include romance scams by phoney beaus on online dating websites, as well long-running problems like curbers – unlicensed car dealers selling lemons from parking lots – or lottery mail scams.

Many people also continue to fall for “enterprise fee scams” where they’re persuaded they must make an upfront fee payment to unlock a larger sum of money.

“Do you really need to pay money to win money? Absolutely not,” cautioned Manjit Bains of Consumer Protection B.C.

Photos, feature named finalists in BCYCNA competition Black Press THE SURREY-NORTH Delta

Leader has been named a finalist in three categories of the 2014 BCYCNA Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards.

Multimedia journalist and photographer Boaz Joseph was chosen among the best in the TD Feature Photo Award: Colour category for his photo called “Wings of spring” (at right).

Joseph is also in the running for the Photo Essay Award, for a series of photos he captured of performers at the Surrey Festival of Dance last spring.

Assistant editor Sheila Reynolds is a top-three finalist in the Feature Article category for her piece on Eileen Mohan, mother of Surrey Six murder victim Christopher Mohan. The feature, titled “I don’t want revenge. I want justice,” was published prior to last fall’s start of the trial of three men accused in the 2007 murders.

The awards are hosted by the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspapers Association and the winners will be announced April 26 in Richmond.

RCMP not to blame for suspect’s dog bite: IIO Surrey man suffered serious injuries and required surgery after police dog pursued him last year

by Sheila Reynolds A SURREY RCMP officer did noth-

ing wrong when he released his police dog to secure a suspect who was evading arrest last year, according to a review by the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO) The incident, in which a 26-yearold man was pursued and held by the dog, took place on Oct. 18, 2013.

On that evening, Surrey RCMP responded to an abandoned 911 call to a neighbourhood near King

George Boulevard and 96 Avenue. It was reported an adult male had fled out the balcony door of a home with a woman’s phone.

When police arrived, a service dog began to track the suspect, eventually going into a community garden area. Within an hour of arriving the man was located and emergency personnel was called for a dog bite to his lower left leg that later required surgery.

The IIO is responsible for conducting investigations into all police

officer-related incidents that result in death or serious harm. In this case, the man’s dog bite injuries met the definition of “serious harm.”

Four witness police officers and four civilian witnesses were interviewed for the Surrey investigation, and video surveillance from the area was also reviewed.

In the IIO review, Chief Civilian Director Richard Rosenthal said the suspect was hiding in the garden at night, making it difficult for the officer to see his hands or any weapons

he may have carried.

“The affected person was being sought for serious violations that warranted the use and deployment of a police service dog,” said Rosenthal. “Police communications corroborate that the affected person was actively evading arrest at the time he was confronted by the [officer] and his dog.”

Rosenthal said allowing the man to escape could have endangered the female resident of the home and allowed the suspect to “escape

responsibility for a potentially serious offence.”

Grappling with the man alone in the dark would have been dangerous for both the man and officer, Rosenthal added, and may even have resulted in a need to use deadly force.

“I do not consider the subject officer may have committed an offence in relation to his PSD’s (police service dog) actions in stopping the affected person from evading arrest,” ruled Rosenthal.

New rules have cut alcohol deaths: Province Drunk driving fatalities down since roadside measures kicked in, B.C.’s attorney-general says

by Tom Fletcher ROADSIDE SUSPENSIONS and

vehicle seizures for drivers blowing as low as 0.05 per cent blood alcohol have helped cut B.C. drinking and driving deaths by half, Attorney General Suzanne Anton said last week.

Government statistics show average fatalities from drinking and driving have fallen to 54 a year from a previous five-year average of 112,

since the law took effect in September 2010. Anton said the program is so successful that other provinces are moving in the same direction.

Anton wouldn’t comment on court challenges to the program, which imposes penalties on people who test in the “warn” range below 0.08, where they are subject to impaired driving charges.

“If there have to be changes made to it, we will be making those, but the program is good, it saves lives

and that’s what’s important,” Anton said.

The “immediate roadside prohibition” program replaced most impaired driving charges with administrative penalties, including a three-day driving ban and a $200 administrative fee for those who blow between 0.05 and 0.08, if the police officer has reason to believe the driver is impaired.

For those who blow in the “impaired” range of 0.08 or higher,

police have the option of imposing a 90-day driving ban, a $500 penalty and impounding the vehicle for 30 days instead of laying a charge.

Towing and impounding a vehicle can result in a $700 bill, and a $1,400 mandatory “responsible driver program” may also be required before the driver’s licence is returned.

The government terms the measure “Alexa’s Law,” after fouryear-old Alexa Middelaer, who was feeding horses at the roadside

in Delta when she was struck by an impaired driver and killed in 2008.

“After decades of stagnant progress on reducing the number of preventable deaths caused by drinking and driving, as a community we’ve made significant and sustained changes,” said Laurel Middelaer, Alexa’s mother, who has been an advocate on the issue since the tragedy.

Raise for Delta council Pay increase based on comparibly sized municipalities

by Adrian MacNair DELTA COUNCIL voted

unanimously on Monday to give its members a raise.

Effective Jan. 1, 2014, councillors will now earn a remuneration rate of $48,734, a 2.5-per-cent increase from the last time rates were increased in 2012.

Mayor Lois Jackson will earn $113,832, a 2.9-per-cent increase from her earlier rate.

According to a staff report prepared

by Delta’s human resources and corporate planning department, salaries are based on a comparison of four other Metro

Vancouver municipalities of comparable population sizes.

The mayor’s new salary is based on the average of the mayors of Coquitlam, Langley Township, Richmond, and the District of North Vancouver as of Jan. 1, 2014. The highest-paid mayor of the four is Coquitlam’s Richard Stewart, who earns $119,383, while the lowest is North Vancouver’s Richard Walton, who receives $97,353.

Study to probe home development costs SFU researchers to conduct research on housing affordability

by Jeff Nagel AN SFU researcher says extremely com-

plex application processes for residential developers appears to be one of the factors behind Metro Vancouver’s poor housing affordability.

Urban Studies associate professor Meg Holden is leading the annual Getting To Groundbreaking study on behalf of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders Association and other partners.

It’s expected to shed light on the varying municipal development policies, fees and processing times around the region that affect housing costs, supply and affordability, as well as recommended best practices.

“The more sustainable a city, the more expensive and exclusive its housing,”

Holden said. “This study will help us understand how to make cities more sustainable for all residents, rich and poor.”

Metro Vancouver’s population is growing by 3,000 new residents each month and it’s projected that nearly half a million new homes will be needed to house a million more residents by 2041.

An estimated 45,000 Chinese millionaires now barred from B.C.

by Jeff Nagel SOME OBSERVERS say

high-end homes in Metro Vancouver are in for a price drop due to the federal government’s budget move to eliminate immigrant investor visas, cutting off the path to B.C. for tens

of thousands of wealthy Chinese.

New applications for immigrant investor visas had already been capped since 2012, but Ottawa’s decision wipes out a big backlog of applicants worldwide.

called millionaire visas were wealthy mainland Chinese intending to come to B.C., according to the South China Morning Post.

Vancouver immigration lawyer Richard Kurland said wiping out the backlog will suddenly deplete the number of incoming wealthy immigrants vying for pricey homes.

“Publicly you heard ‘moratorium’ or ‘no new cases’,” he said. “But that’s not what was happening because visas were still being churned out at high levels.”

Kurland estimates it’s meant a steady influx of 1,000 to 1,500 new buyers each year seeking luxury property.

“It’s a hit to the Vancouver real estate market,” he said. “All of a sudden all of those buyers are not going to be in the market. What does that do to the supply and demand curve? The prices can only go one way and that’s down.”

HELIPAD TOPS SURREY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL’S NEW CRITICAL CARE TOWER Starting June 2014, Surrey Memorial Hospital’s new Critical Care Tower will be equipped to accommodate patients that arrive by helicopter. Sitting atop the roof of the eight-story Tower, the helipad will be used by BC Ambulance Service to transport patients to and from Surrey Memorial to receive urgent and extraordinary care by a team of highly skilled doctors and nurses.

Fraser Health will be conducting a trial run of the new helipad on March 5th in preparation for the Tower's opening in June. During this two-hour period a helicopter will land and take off multiple times. When the Critical Care Tower opens, helicopters will only land and take off once per patient transport.

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT HELICOPTER TEST LANDING AT SURREY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL On Wednesday, March 5th from 5-7 pm, a BC Ambulance Service helicopter will land on the hospital’s roof for the first time. This is a trial-run so we can ensure all-systems-are-go.

Surrey Memorial’s new Critical Care Tower and helipad will open in June. The helipad is a huge benefit to the hospital and will fly patients to and from the Hospital.

Eagles travel to Langley for BCHL playoff Rivermen favoured in best-of-seven Mainland Division semifinal series

by Nick Greenizan TWELVE MONTHS ago, the Surrey

Eagles went into the BC Hockey League playoffs as the de facto favourites.

They had breezed through the regular season as the top squad, routinely leaving good teams in their wake. They loaded up an already deep roster at the trade deadline and were primed for a long post-season run which even-

tually ended at the RBC Cup. But my, have things changed in a year.

Now, the Eagles head into the playoffs – which begin today – as David, rather than Goliath, as they’re set for a best-of-seven series against the Langley Rivermen, who not only finished first in the Mainland Division, but won the Boileau Trophy for the first time in franchise history as the top team in the entire league.

The Eagles, meanwhile, finished fourth, 12 wins and 29 points back of the regular-season champs.

On the plus side, at least, travel should be a breeze. Games 1 and 2 of the series are set for the Langley Events Centre tonight (Tuesday) and tomorrow.

And though the series may look like a mismatch on paper, it has the chance to, in fact, be a closely contested battle.

In eight regular-season match-

ups this season, the Eagles won Division, anyone seemed to be just twice – both in overtime – but able to beat anyone on a given day. many of the losses were close, “Anything can happen, it seems,” with two of the losses being by he said. “But if we get Langley, one goal, while a third game – a that’s OK.

Sungod club sends two swimmers to Westerns Michael Milic and Elena Penner compete in New Westminster the 15-and-under female category, while Milic was 24th in the 400m individual medley and 25th in the 100m breast stroke.

“The two swimmers had solid results and were able to repeat fast performances from the B.C. AAA championships two weeks ago,” said Sungod head coach Kurt Murphy. “And that was our goal.”

Both swimmers saw the depth of talent at a Western Canadian meet, and discovered there’s not a huge margin of victory.

“It was an interesting experience

by Rick Kupchuk A PAIR OF swimmers from the

Sungod club in North Delta learned a lot from competing at the Speedo Western Canadian Championships in New Westminster.

While both Michael Milic, 15, and Elena Penner, 13, fell short of qualifying for an event final, both were pleased with their performance while competing at a regional meet for the first time.

Penner was 10th in the 50m butterfly and 17th in the 50m freestyle in

to watch five heats of girls swim within a one-second margin of one another in the 100 freestyle, and to watch swimmers get into second swims by hundredths of a second,” Murphy said.

Caralyn Vossen, 16, qualified the B.C. AA Championships in Chilliwack at the end of the month.

Vossen won a silver medal in the

200m breaststroke, bronze medals in the 100m free and 200m IM (individual medley) and was seventh in the 100m back stroke and 200m freestyle.

Other top eight finishes by Sungod Swimmers were achieved by: Jaya Castillo, 16 - gold 100m freestyle; bronze 100m back stroke; 5th 200m freestyle, 50m breast stroke, 200m back stroke.

Lawrence Chen, 11 - 4th 50m butterfly, 400m freestyle.

Love of movies = Money for sick kids THREE STUDENTS from Walnut Road Elementary School teamed up to make a

It’s a jungle in there

difference and raise money for the Pediatric Emergency Department at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

The three Grade 5 girls, Sonia, Rachel, and Jasmine, raised $653.13 for the hospital by arranging a family movie night at their school. The idea came to Sonia after she got back from her visit to India and had the opportunity to volunteer and experience giving. She wanted to help her local community and talked to her friends and principal about her idea of helping children in need of medical attention at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

The trio of students arranged a movie night on Jan. 24, showing “Despicable Me 2� at their school. More than 300 people attended.

The funds raised will be used to help purchase life saving equipment in the Pediatric Emergency Department, which provides specialized emergency care for an average of 80 to 100 children every day. “We were very touched and are thankful for what the girls did,� said Yolanda Bouwman, Director of Major Giving at Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation.

Using spare time on weekends, a Surrey artist has created an indoor jungle. Travis Vagner, 36, spent about 180 hours creating a mural in a hallway at the Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children in Vancouver – the handiwork being captured on a timelapse video (view at surreyleader.com).

The centre, under the auspices of B.C. Children’s Hospital, provides specialized care for children up to age 19 with disabilities, and their families. Vagner is currently working on two other charitable projects in the Lower Mainland.

A sign of Delta heritage GRACE YAN’S GRADE 5 CLASS was recently treated

to a taste of North Delta’s heritage when a brand new sign about the Kennedy Trail was unveiled at Gibson Elementary School.

Kennedy Trail was the first settler built trail in the Lower Mainland. It was built by James Kennedy in 1860-1861 and it stretched from the Annieville area in North Delta to Surrey’s Mud Bay area. It was used to transport cattle and for the area’s first telegraph line. The trail passed right through the location where Gibson Elementary School stands today.

To honour the rich history of the trail, over a

decade ago the Corporation of Delta erected an educational sign outside of Gibson Elementary.

The sign was worse for wear, so this week the municipality erected a brand new sign.

To celebrate the new sign, Mayor Lois Jackson along with other municipal councillors and staff, and Delta School District trustees and staff, held a ceremony with Yan’s class. Local historian John MacDonald explained the history of the trail to the students and Jackson read over the heritage sign with the kids. “My students very much enjoyed the event,� said . “In fact, they would like to invite John Macdonald, the historian who spoke at the event and an author who has written a book on the Kennedy Trail, to come and speak more about it.�
