Surrey couple facing 156 fraud charges Man and woman nabbed in police investigation into large identity theft scam

by Warren Jané CHECK YOUR credit card statements, online bank accounts and reward points numbers immediately.

This is the advice from Vancouver Police after a fraud investigation spanning several weeks led to a search warrant at a Surrey apartment, where two suspects, a male and female couple, were arrested

and charged with a long list of offences.

While more than 100 victims of the scam have already been identified, police believe there could be many more.

“We think it’s quite a bit bigger,” said Vancouver Police Sgt. Randy Fincham. “We think there’s a lot of people who may have accessed their credit card statements last night or logged into their points accounts and figured out that they’re missing

some points, so we think this is sort of the tip of the iceberg.”

The scam, which impacted victims from all over B.C., Canada and parts of the United States, involved thieves accessing RBC Visa customers’ points accounts and purchasing gift cards with the victims’ points.

Civil forfeitures fund prevention programs

by Warren Jané THE PROVINCIAL government is utilizing the proceeds of crime in the fight

against crime.

Surrey has received more than $275,000 in civil forfeiture funds from the Ministry of Justice to be used by seven different organizations that work to stop violence against women or deter youth from criminal activity.

Since its inception in 2006, the Civil Forfeiture Office has given $16 million back to community crime prevention organizations, victims of fraud and police departments.

“These funds – once the proceeds of crime – are now being used to help people in our communities,” said Surrey-Panorama MLA Marvin Hunt. “This money is especially meaningful to those individuals and families who suffered because of those crimes.”

Organizations receiving grants in Surrey include the Surrey Women’s Centre Society, Surrey RCMP, Servants Anonymous Society, Surrey School District’s REACH program, Youth Engagement Program for Guildford and Surrey School District’s Foundations Program.

Police: Check accounts From page 1 Surrey residents Daniel Adam Suchecki, 34, and Christa Dawn Hucal, 25, are facing a combined total of 156 credit card fraud and identity theft-related charges.

Others on the low end of the fraud ring have also been charged for stealing from mailboxes, post office boxes and cars to obtain credit cards, statements or other documents that can be used for identity theft purposes.

Seized in the search were approxi-

mately 200 credit cards and IDs in other peoples’ names, stolen mail, a credit card reader/writer and credit card data along with $20,000 in gift cards and three stolen vehicles.

Also seized was a $51,000 Mitsubishi Lancer, which spawned the name of the investigation, “Project Lancer.”

Given the geographical scope of the fraud, police are urging everyone to check their credit card statements and points accounts, especially those with an RBC Visa.

Medical pot users win reprieve Surrey fire department stands down on home plan after court decision

by Jeff Nagel and Kevin Diakiw SURREY’S FIRE department is standing down

Len Garis

on its efforts to order homes that contain medical marijuana grow operations repaired after pot users won a last-minute court battle on Friday.

Medical marijuana users were granted a reprieve that allows them to keep growing their own pot at home instead of destroying it and turning to new federally licensed commercial suppliers.

Federal Court Judge Michael Manson

granted a temporary injunction Friday for those with a personal production licence to continue to grow medical marijuana, pending the outcome of a constitutional challenge still to be heard.

Health Canada’s new regulation outlawing personal growing had been slated to take effect April 1.

Until Friday, Surrey’s fire department was looking to have 309 known medicinal growops remediated right away.

Surrey was hoping to rid the community of some of what they say are the risks associ-

ated with decommissioned marijuana grows.

Those include chemical residue, mold in the walls and unsafe wiring. Home owners would have been subject to fines if they didn’t comply with making repairs.

“I’m disappointed,” said Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis. “I guess we just simply wait.”

Garis said it’s troubling from a public safety point of view, referring to academic studies that show the grow operations are 24 times more likely to burn than a regular home.

Home invasion in Guildford

Betty Gobolos is holding a garage sale April 5 to raise money for BC Children’s Hospital’s Wigs for Kids BC program. If you can donate items for the sale – or hair for wigs – contact Gobolos at merlegobolos@ gmail.com

by Warren Jané

A DOG was killed and two women were tied up and bear-sprayed during a home invasion robbery Sunday night in Guildford.

Around 9 p.m., two males wearing masks forced their way into a residence at 101 Avenue and 156 Street through a basement door and proceeded to rob the occupants, who are not known to police.

“We’re still trying to establish exactly what the motive was,” said RCMP Cpl. Bert Paquet. “We know enough at this point, without saying too much, that the residence was specifically targeted and definitely not a random robbery.”

While it is still unknown what specific items were taken, police did confirm that a safe was stolen.

The suspects were in and out in a matter of minutes, killing the dog and leaving one woman with a small head injury.

The investigation continues.

Accused in fatal Surrey stabbing to stand trial

by Sheila Reynolds A MAN accused of stabbing a

younger man to death in his Surrey apartment in 2012 has been ordered to stand trial.

William Engebretsen, who is now 55, faces a second-degree murder charge in connection with the Nov. 25, 2012 death of 35-year-old Jeremy McLellan.

Police said Engebretsen lived in the apartment near 95 Avenue and 128 Street with McLellan and McLellan’s mother.

On the evening of the incident, Mounties were called to the home to find the victim suffering from stab wounds, which he later succumbed to in hospital.

Engebretsen’s murder trial was ordered after a preliminary hearing in Surrey Provincial Court that ended March 11.

The case will now proceed to B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Engebretsen’s next court date is April 10.

ling westbound on 108 Avenue when it was struck on the passenger side by a white Honda sedan heading northbound on King George Boulevard.

The subsequent collision caused the police vehicle to flip on its roof, trapping the lone male officer inside.

Peters’ vehicle, which was stopped eastbound on 108 Avenue in a lefthand turn lane, was also struck after the initial collision.

Peters said two to three police cars were travelling through the intersection on a red light with their lights and sirens on. He said he saw the police vehicles pass safely through the intersection, then looked away for brief moment.

“When I looked up again, there was a police car’s trunk aimed at my windshield and it hit the car,” said Peters.

Peters said that after the collision, he could see tail lights and other pieces of the police cruiser inside his own vehicle and was concerned for the safety of the officer when he saw the police cruiser completely inverted on its roof.

The Mountie was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The occupants of the Honda suffered minor injuries and were taken to hospital as a precaution. Peters was uninjured.

The Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Services and the Criminal Collision Investigation Team are investigating the incident.

Pot users: Optimistic about action From page 3

Meanwhile, medical marijuana users and their supporters are jubilant.

“I’m very excited,” said Sandra Colasanti, a member of a coalition seeking to repeal the new rules who said she doesn’t use pot but her husband needs it.

“I’ve seen a lot of people who have everything from MS to cancer to full-blown AIDS and I’ve seen people die if they don’t have access to this.”

She said she’s optimistic the action launched by Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy will succeed when it goes to trial.

The federal government cited widespread problems with the current system of permitted medical marijuana users growing pot at home or having other designated growers do it for them.

We have asked for rules.”

Medical pot patients behind the court action feared they’ll pay commercial producers much more than growing it themselves and have less access to the cannabis strains that work best for them.

The injunction doesn’t stop the launch of new commercial pot producers, but it throws

COMMUNICATION

Rumour has it...

RAESIDE

T

here’s a fine line between being in the know and simply grinding the rumour mills – and in this era of social network posts and instantaneous tweets and texts, that line is becoming easier and easier to cross.

Even staid, sober publications like this one are not immune from following up on speculation that may, or may not, be based on solid information.

When Kevin Falcon – erstwhile B.C. Liberal MLA, government minister and one-time leadership hopeful – was asked whether he was contemplating running for federal office, the Ocean Park resident could only respond with a chuckle.

“So far the rumours I’ve heard about me is that I’m running for mayor of Surrey, mayor of Vancouver or federal office,” he laughed. “Despite all those rumours, I’m doing none of the above.”

For the record, Falcon, recently appointed an honorary director of the Surrey Board of Trade, says he is working “happily in the private sector” as executive vice-president of Anthem Capital and “very excited to continue doing so.”

Similarly, feverish reports in the Vancouver media that Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts was being courted by the Conservatives to run federally in South Surrey-White Rock came as news to electoral district association president Jerry Presley.

“I haven’t heard yet, and normally I’d be the first,” he told us.

It used to be said that “rumours are flying.” In the 21st century they seem to have achieved supersonic speed, as our fundamental “need to know” seems in constant collision with our apparent need to be “in the know.”

Even major news networks have stumbled in recent years in their rush to hurtle headlong at a headline. Incorrect and misleading information is not only worthless to informed opinion – it carries untold dangers with it.

Rumours – and our willingness to give credence to them – have been responsible for fear, chaos and even death. Many years ago, Orson Welles exposed the limitations of the radio technology of his time with an infamous fake broadcast of a Martian landing that caused thousands to panic.

For those who champion the instantaneous media of our own era, some caution and sober thought may be in order.

Speed of communication means little without accuracy. It doesn’t matter how fast we’re in the know, if, in the final analysis, we know nothing.

he B.C. NDP leadership contest is officially underway, with the entry of Vancouver Island veteran John Horgan in a reluctant reprise of his 2011 run against Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth.

Unfortunately for them, weekend campaign events were overshadowed by revelations of flagrant abuse of taxpayers’ money by the executive and board of the Portland Hotel Society (PHS). A pair of audits finally released last week on this network of Downtown Eastside social agencies revealed systematic looting of the $28 million a year in taxpayers’ money that has kept this supposed charity running.

Alas for the NDP, local MLA Jenny Kwan not only failed to keep an eye on it, her recently separated husband was one of the executives who took part for years, and she benefited to the tune of $35,000 in luxury travel. That’s what we know about, since much of the evidence wasn’t produced for the auditors.

Did he inherit the $72,000 salary negotiated

by Sihota with the B.C. Federation of Labour and two of its largest unions? If so, do Horgan and Farnworth think this is appropriate?

Will the party’s joined-at-the-hip relationship with government unions even be discussed in the carefully staged leadership contest that’s about to begin?

Then there’s the policy shipwreck left behind by Adrian Dix. His plan to use environmental assessment as a weapon to torpedo industrial projects remains popular with the party’s urban base. Farnworth and Horgan have paid lip service to the notion that projects like the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion should be properly assessed. Meanwhile, the federal NDP fights to keep stacking public hearings with pre-selected protesters.

The party may wish to consider what would give its next B.C. leader any hope of governing.

A trucker’s take on the Pattullo WHILE READING about the

advancements of pushing for a new four-lane bridge to replace the aging Pattullo, it comes as no surprise that all the attention is focused on the bickering over whether the bridge should be four lanes or six lanes.

As a former resident of New Westminster, I agree that creating a six-lane bridge into New Westminster is highly disadvantageous to the residents of New West and will not relieve any current traffic congestion.

As a current resident of Surrey, I also do not agree with making a new six-lane bridge. The problem is that the infrastructure to handle the capacity is highly outdated and years behind and making a new bridge won’t resolve those problems.

In order to see any results, traffic will have to be pushed underground in order to alleviate traffic congestion in New Westminster.

The problems need to be addressed at the root level. This would include, from my point of view as a trucker, the following: 1. Create an above-highway on- and off-ramp interchange for traffic off Highway 91 to access 72 Avenue and eliminate the light which slows down traffic during morning commutes immensely going and coming over the Alex Fraser Bridge.

2. Create a new bridge direct to Marine Drive from the Queensborough landing area which would bypass traffic from the Highway 91/91A route and divert traffic from the Queensborough area to Burnaby/Richmond, which was also created by the big box stores at Queensborough landing.

3. Create an underground nonstop tunnel linking Surrey’s Highway 17 (South Fraser Perimeter Road) via King George Boulevard to a split junction connecting to Highway 1 at Braid/Brunette and to Kingsway just above 12 Street at the New Westminster/Burnaby border.

4. Create a Subway system or light rail transit system which links all points of the region (Surrey to White Rock; Surrey to Langley; Surrey to Richmond; Surrey to Port Kells) Making Surrey the central hub for all the subway systems will be the most cost-effective and economical than a central hub in Vancouver or elsewhere.

No matter the argument, there will always be some argument for or against.

It takes a village to promote health ACCORDING TO a report in the Canadian

Medical Association Journal this week, we learned that obesity has tripled among Canadian adults in one short generation, reminding us once again of the seriousness of the obesity epidemic.

The World Health Organization warned in 2000 that this would lead to increased chronic diseases including diabetes, arthritis, heart disease and cancers - threatening the health of individuals, our communities and the health care system.

But before we point fingers at individuals, let us also remember it is the world

around us and not individual willpower that has changed in that generation.

We will never reduce the rates of obesity by admonishing everybody to eat healthier or exercise more without also changing the environments which shape behaviour.

We are more active when we live in compact, complete, walkable neighbourhoods with stores and services nearby, commute by transit, and have easy access to parks, walking trails, and bike lanes.

We eat healthier when we are surrounded by healthy rather than highly processed and fast foods.

Fraser Health is working with other health authorities across the country and colleagues in municipal planning and transportation to re-create communities that foster physical activity, healthy eating, and positive social environments. But to succeed on a large scale, we need not just collaboration but also serious investment in active transportation, such as biking and walking, and public transit.

The future health of our population depends on it.

Be sure to check those toll charges FOR THOSE of you who

cross the Golden Ears Bridge and receive your transaction statements electronically, make sure you check the entries carefully because if you gloss over them you might be paying charges for crossings you didn’t make.

In my case I was charged for 23 crossings that I did not make.

Apparently, the device used to read vehicle licence plates is not always accurate and does make mistakes especially if a vehicle plate is partially obscured by dirt, grime or road film.

When that happens the system makes a best guess on the vehicle licence and levies a charge.

Fortunately, I caught the mistakes but I wonder how many others go unnoticed.

Why pay for service that’s not provided?

I HAVE complained to BC Hydro

via telephone approximately a dozen times over the past three years regarding the reading of my analog meter.

For the first 11 years (since 1997) at this residence, there hasn’t been any issues with meter reading. The circumstances regarding the reading of my meter were that BC Hydro was to call a day or so before reading my meter so that I could give them access to the meter (I have a digital answering machine). The meter is located in a locked garage. For privacy reasons I opted not to provide BC Hydro with a key.

In the past few years, since the smart meter program was introduced, my Hydro bill was almost always an estimate. In a good year my meter was read twice versus the normal six times per year. To date my meter has been read twice

in the past 14 months. I have not changed my phone number since 1997. I have not altered access in any way.

Now BC Hydro has started charging a “legacy meter” fee in order for me to keep my analog meter. I have argued both in writing and via telephone that this

fee is nothing short of coercion in order to force me to accept a smart meter. To add insult to injury, BC Hydro has stated that they are authorized to charge this fee ($35) on a monthly basis regardless of whether they read the meter or not.

Essentially I am being charged

Not good business I AM writing this in regards to an issue involving smart meters. Recently

in my neighbourhood (which is low income) a lot of the residents have been getting BC Hydro bills up to eight times their regular bill. BC Hydro’s explanation is that the smart meters installed two years ago are now just going online. They also said that the meters haven’t been read in over a year due to meter readers being laid off.

When the meters do go online, the meter is read and we have to make up the difference from over a year of service. This seems to be a disgusting business practice.

Brian Pettie, Surrey

for work that has not been performed. A portion of this fee goes to maintaining BC Hydro’s meter reading department yet they have stated that they can charge it even on an estimate. They will not even credit my Hydro account for the portion earmarked for meter reading.

As I refuse to pay this fee, BC Hydro has threatened to cut power to my home, even though I have paid my usage and taxes in full.

They are going to disconnect my service for not paying a fee that is partially responsible for meter reading.

So, BC Hydro wants me to pay for a service that they have not provided or they will disconnect my power. In a democratic society we call this dictatorship.

Truckers denounce strike-busting tactics Defiant drivers say back-to-work legislation and licence terminations are ‘bullying’

by Jeff Nagel

HUNDREDS OF striking container truck drivers converged on downtown Vancouver Friday to demonstrate against plans by the province and the port authority to impose legislation and licence terminations to force them back to work.

A convoy of more than 50 trucks rolled from a pullout on Highway 91 in Delta to downtown, snarling traffic.

Truckers were joined downtown by supporters, including those from other unions, as well as B.C. Federation of Labour President Jim Sinclair.

The provincial government is expected to pass back-to-work legislation this week with a 90-day cooling off period but the unionized drivers it will target are defiant, giving no sign they will comply.

The port said it will begin freezing non-union drivers out of a new port access system to put pressure on them to resume work.

“I don’t see how you can expect workers to

The port, business “It’s foolishness. Think groups and both the fedabout it.

The video shows the Terminal wait times driver, whose face is and persistent rate obscured, being barraged undercutting by various with insults and threats industry players are the he’ll be beaten. main issues.

“Intimidation shown Some drivers wore and released today is pink T-shirts demanding totally unacceptable,” Port a stop to bullying and Metro Vancouver CEO Unifor national president Robin Silvester said.

“I don’t see how you can expect workers to cool off when their rights are being taken away.”

The port claims significant numbers of drivers have been returning to work, boosting the number of containers moved by truck from a low of 10 per cent of normal two weeks ago to about 40 per cent on Friday.

The port has also been issuing some permits to companies that don’t normally work in container hauling. They’ve redeployed some trucks to work the container terminals.

“Our terminals are now seeing steadily growing truck activity demonstrating there are truckers who want to work and are willing to service the gateway,” Silvester said.

“We are also continuing with the reforms we have announced to address the concerns that have been raised.”

Unifor leaders insist relatively few trucks are working.

More than 1,000 nonunion United Trucking Association drivers were first to halt work on Feb. 26 and about 250 unionized Unifor drivers have been on strike since March 10.

The provincial and federal governments on March 12 unveiled a 14-point action plan that they argue will do much to address truckers concerns. It provides a 10-per-cent jump in rates per container moved, a review of hourly wages and fuel surcharges, and a $25 penalty fee payable to

truckers who wait more than two hours to load.

Also pledged are extended loading hours at terminals and other measures to tighten compliance with rates.

That plan was rejected by both driver groups, which denounced the governments’ refusal to negotiate.

Port Metro Vancouver officials deny wait times are as bad as truckers claim, saying GPS data from half of the container trucks on the road show most wait less than an hour at terminals.

The strike is blocking the normal trade route for almost $900 million worth of cargo per week.

Too easy for land owners to dodge tax, Metro told Reform could boost legitimate farming, deter under-use

by Jeff Nagel MORE AGRICULTURAL

land in the Lower Mainland might actually be farmed if cities crack down on property owners who abuse the current rules to avoid paying higher property taxes.

That’s the advice to Metro Vancouver from consultant Scott Bowden of Colliers International, who studied options to intensify agricultural and industrial land use on behalf of the regional district.

Bowden said too much land is underused because it’s too easy to qualify for farm tax status, which reduces the property tax owners pay by as much as 99 per cent from what they’d pay at residential rates.

“We have seen evidence of this being abused,” he told a recent Metro Vancouver regional planning committee meeting.

Another reform already enacted last year by the provincial government exempts a larger amount of the assessed value of farm buildings like greenhouses and barns on areas with poor soil.

AND SO DO WE.

A Chilliwack man saved more than $100,000 by arranging to have a few llamas put on industrial land he owned, Bowden said, while similar cases crop up of land owners adding a few cows or other livestock to achieve the “incredible benefit” of farm rates.

Bowden said one option would be to substantially raise the current threshold for farm status – it only takes $2,500 in annual agricultural revenue for properties that are four hectares or smaller.

Richmond Coun.

Harold Steves, who is also a cattle farmer, said the threshold should definitely be raised, adding he’s turned down requests to put a few cows on properties to help owners dodge paying tax.

He suspects many owners of giant houses on farmland avoid paying much higher

Half of Metro ALR land actively farmed JUST HALF of the 60,893

hectares of ALR land in Metro Vancouver is actively farmed, according to a regional district report.

Another 25 per cent isn’t farmed but has potential to be, while another quarter is categorized as unavailable for farming because of incompatible uses like parks, golf courses or housing.

Delta has the highest proportion – 79 per cent – of its 9,400 hectares of ALR land actually farmed. It’s followed by Pitt Meadows at 60 per cent, Richmond at 59 per cent and Surrey at 58 per cent.

Langley Township’s 23,406 hectares of ALR land – the largest amount of any municipality in the region – is only 45 per cent actively farmed. Maple Ridge is worse yet with only 31 per cent of its 3,787 hectares in the ALR actively producing.

Getting up and active with PAL Spring is the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and start getting active. Introducing regular physical activity into your life is an important first step towards better health, a happier mindset, and more. The whole family will benefit from increased activity and getting on the road to a healthier lifestyle.

There are so many known benefits to physical activity and an active lifestyle. Among them are a reduced risk of heart disease, premature death and stroke. Being active has also been proven to help improve self-esteem and confidence, help you sleep better, increase your energy and reduce depression, among many other things. Furthermore, it helps maintain functional independence, mobility, and bone health.

For many of us, it can be quite daunting to take that first step towards an active lifestyle. And it can be more challenging to start something new without any help. The good news is residents of BC have access to a free physical activity counselling service called the Physical Activity Line (PAL). Through a phone call or online, qualified exercise professionals are available to provide exercise and physical activity advice and help you develop a customized physical activity plan for every member of the family, from children to older adults.

When it comes to physical activity, more is better. To achieve the health benefits, it is important to try and progress towards the Canadian Physical Activity Guidelines, which recommend at least 60 minutes of physical activity per day for children and youth and 150 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous intensity activity each week for adults. Adults and older adults should also add muscle- and bone-

strengthening activities that work the major muscle groups at least twice a week to help with balance and prevent falls for those with mobility impairments.

Physical activity doesn’t have to mean playing a sport or going to the gym. Playing a family game of tag, going for a swim or taking a walk outside with the family pet or to the store to get groceries count towards the physical activity recommendations.

Try out something new; you may find your new favourite activity! In any case, you’re bound to have some fun and feel like a happier and healthier you.

The Physical Activity Line is available Monday to Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m in the Lower Mainland, toll-free at 1-877-725-1149.

For more information, visit www.physicalactivityline.com or email info@physicalactivity.com.

Do you know someone who makes a positive contribution to our community?

not even a specific height, is set in stone about the final form of a proposed two-tower residential development for South Surrey – one that could provide a significant arts hub for the community in the form of a 350-seat performing arts theatre and a contemporary arts café/ gallery.

“This is not going to be ramrodded through,” Aubrey Kelly said, while at the same time acknowledging there’s little chance of the contentious project returning without a tower component (last suggested to be the equivalent of 27 storeys).

“We’re probably never going to be able to make 100 per cent of people happy. What we saw after some of the initial unveiling of plans was that there were mixed reviews, which was not unexpected.”

The project – a partnership by the city’s own development corporation and the Reifel Cooke Group – is still in a phase of “fact finding and issue finding,” Kelly said,

gathering feedback and identifying concerns of stakeholders, including nearby residents and arts groups, in an attempt to build consensus.

He expects the process to continue for several months at least.

“There’s no particular timeline,” Kelly said. “I expect it to be the end of summer before we put pencil to paper again, and then engage with the city planning department, go to the advisory design panel and then go on to a public hearing.”

The plans are still largely conceptual, he added: “Whether they call for lower, squatter buildings or taller, more slender buildings – all that’s still in play.”

Whatever the final form of the project, Kelly said, a certain density is required to make it work.

“We would need a density of four,” he explained. “That’s four times the site area of approximately 80,000 square feet – or 320,000 square feet.”

The reality, he said, is that without that density, the proposed arts

that continuing support hinges on a governance model for the arts spaces that ensure accessibility and affordability for local groups.

Opponents have emphasized they do not oppose the arts aspect of the plans, but they have characterized it as window dressing for a project they fear will impact traffic patterns, impede neighbourhood access and create a precedent for highrises that could lower property values and attract crime.

Public meetings held so far have shown a great deal of support for the project, Kelly said – particularly in the lifestyle of a “walkable town centre” which, he says, could promote less reliance on vehicles.

“If you don’t provide vibrancy, you’re going to force people to use their cars and go to other places, like Morgan Crossing,” Kelly said.

Kelly addressed another issue – the perception that Surrey is in a conflict approving a project in which the SCDC is a partner.

“We are an arm’s length, wholly-owned subsidiary of the City of Surrey – they are the single stockholder,” he said. “We’re a for-profit real estate development company.

“We’re not a department of the city… We come to the planning counter the same as any other developer, and we report to a board of directors independent of the city. Because of transparency issues we want the same regulations applied to us as to a Bosa or a Polygon.”

Kelly said SCDC directors have all come from the private sector and are mainly now-retired or semi-retired professionals mandated to use city land resources to provide a stable financial return to the city “over the long term.”

Montessori students bound for New York – and the UN

M

axime Labrecque, Max Bodner, Jagjeevan Phangura, Nathan Wisdahl and Fynn Roberts are a group of students from Roots & Wings Montessori school planning to attend a model UN program in New York in April.

All the studying and memorizing – not to mention fundraising – is consuming an enormous amount of their time and energy. But the goal, a trip to the United Nations in New York, is what’s keeping kids at Roots & Wings Montessori motivated.

The group of nine- to 14-year-olds is heading to the Big Apple in April to participate in The Montessori Model United Nations, a program developed for students to learn the work of the UN by actually participating in it.

Students from around the world are assigned a country for the mock UN and become ambassadors for that country.

The Grade 4-9 classmates from Roots & Wings are divided into two groups, one representing Norway and one Bulgaria.

“When we go to the UN we need to know everything about our countries,” said student Maxime Labrecque.

“The students have also been studying up on other cultures, religions, societies and peoples throughout the world. We

RCMP, City of Surrey and Surrey School District kicked off the youth stream launch of the Surrey Steps Up project at Princess Margaret Secondary.

The launch unveiled the Surrey Steps Up video that features six Surrey schools and thousands of local students.

Surrey youth are encouraged to get involved in changing behaviours that result in negative actions such as bullying and gang formation, and are encouraged to highlight their message for change through artistic expression (e.g. video, art, poetry or dance).

“It was great to stand beside our future leaders of Surrey today and kick start the youth engagement campaign of Surrey Steps Up,” said Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Bill Fordy.

The youth engagement campaign will run until April 11 and culminate in a youth showcase on May 2 at Centre Stage in the new city hall.

The campaign is open to all elementary and high school students who live and/or study in Surrey. Youth are invited to submit their own video, music, dance, theatre, visual art, or community project that showcases the positive difference young people are making in their neighbourhoods and schools. Youth can “sign up to step up” at www.psst-bc.ca/ stepsup

They’ve also identified a list of problems facing the world, such as capital punishment, intellectual property rights, human rights on the Internet, education in Malawi and freedom of religion.

The youth will participate in smaller discussion groups and any potential solutions they come up with will be sent to the actual UN Secretary General to take into consideration – a fact which excites

and motivates the students.

The trip is planned for April 1–13, with the secondary students attending the first week, and the elementary students the second.

The privately run school is hoping to get corporate sponsorship or cash donations to help cover the cost of airfare and hotel. Donations can be made by calling the school at 604-510-2588 or emailing info@rootsandwingsbc.com

This means, unlike the current program run locally by BC municipalities, this new program will be managed not by people whose first responsibility is our local environment, but rather, their Bay St. profits.
