Dianne Watts will not run for mayor this year First elected in 2005, Watts is stepping aside after serving three terms in office

by Kevin Diakiw LOOKING AS relaxed as she has in years, Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts sat

in the meditation room of her Cloverdale home and said what many predicted, but none have been able to confirm until now.

“I’m not running for mayor this fall,” Watts told The Leader in a oneon-one interview Thursday, prior to making the formal announcement publicly Saturday at the grand opening of the new city hall.

Her reason for leaving is simple, she says.

From the time she was elected mayor in 2005, Watts says she has made it clear she would serve no longer than three terms. She is coming to the end of that self-imposed time limit.

As to where she’ll be going next, she insists she’s unsure.

“I don’t know what’s around the corner,” she says. “It’s just a new chapter. I find that settling.”

The room she sits in was once a home office where she burned the midnight oil on civic business.

It’s now been stripped of the desk; the only piece of furniture remaining is a large meditation Dianne Watts chair. Buddha statues line the shelves and the walls are home to Tibetan mandalas and quotes from Einstein and Zen Master Tich Nhat Hanh.

Watts says several political opportunities lie before her, but she’s not ready to jump at any of them.

Right now, she has plans to travel with her children and scratch at least one item off her bucket list – diving with great white sharks in the Sea of Cortez.

Watts was elected as Surrey councillor in 1996, then ousted former mayor Doug McCallum for the centre chair in 2005.

In all, she’s served 18 years on Surrey council.

Asked about the high point of her term in office, Watts said it would probably be the work putting together a social infrastructure in the city that didn’t exist before.

That includes drug and alcohol treatment centres, mental health facili-

“I don’t know what’s around the corner.

It’s just a new chapter. I find that settling.”

Rasode leading the pack, poll shows Couns. Hepner and Gill most recognized names from Surrey First eyeing the mayor’s chair

by Kevin Diakiw SURREY COUN. BARINDER RASODE has some of the

highest name recognition going into this year’s election, according to a poll released Monday.

Vancouver polling firm Insights West released results of a study conducted between March 21 and March 23 among 507 Surrey residents over 18 years old. The poll asked residents how familiar they were with potential mayoral candidates, Couns. Barinder Rasode, Tom Gill, Bruce Hayne and Linda Hepner.

(Mayor Dianne Watts has announced she will not run for council this November.)

According to the poll results, Rasode leads the group with seven per cent of respondents saying they were “very familiar” with her. She was followed by Gill at six per cent, Hepner (five per cent) and Hayne (three per cent).

However, when the responses of “very familiar” and “somewhat familiar” are grouped, Hepner leads the pack at 30 per cent, followed by Rasode and Gill both at 28 per cent and Hayne trailing at 16 per cent.

Those are the kinds of numbers the Surrey First team will be looking at as they gather to decide who will be their next mayoral candidate, according to Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco.

The figures put Gill and Hepner in a virtual deadlock for name recognition. (The poll does not ask whether people are satisfied with the job the current councillors are doing).

While Gill is interested in the mayor role, he told The Leader Sunday night he has reservations about the time commitment required and what it would mean for his young family. He said if he doesn’t run, he’ll be

supporting Hepner.

Canseco said as the poll was conducted prior to Rasode leaving Surrey First, her numbers are likely to be even higher than when the poll was conducted.

“She’s been in the news more often now,” Canseco said. “She has been talking more, she has been speaking about why she left Surrey First, she’s been one of the most critical voices on the crime issue, which is the number-one issue facing the city.”

In fact, Canseco said he’s rarely seen crime as top of mind as it is in Surrey. A poll conducted months ago showed crime was the top issue for 51 per cent of people, and the most recent survey has 49 per cent of respondents saying it’s their number one concern.

“It’s huge, usually you don’t see anything in the 50s (percentile) unless something tragic happens,” Canseco said. “Crime is very rarely more than 15 or 20 per cent in a survey. To see it at 51, it really speaks about that there are people out there who are dissatisfied with the status quo…”

The poll also indicated 68 per cent of respondents are ready for change. Following crime as the top issue, are transportation (22 per cent), health care (seven per cent) and education (six per cent).

The poll shows people are satisfied with the work the city has done on parks, recreation and arts (66 per cent approval), governing the city (56 per cent in favour), development within the city (56 per cent) and improving the image of Surrey (52 per cent).

The city gets poor marks in how it has handled transportation (24 per cent approval), homelessness (18 per cent) and crime and public safety (16 per cent).

The survey of 507 residents is accurate within plus or minus 4.4 per cent 19 times out of 20.

Man ‘just testing’ the Ferrari... at 181 km/h 10-year-old boy in car at the time

by Tracy Holmes

A LANGLEY man received a hefty fine last weekend for travelling through Surrey at more than 100 km/h over the posted speed limit.

But he may have more to worry about than the $483-penalty and the fact his vehicle – a 2005 Ferrari F430 – was impounded for seven days.

RCMP ‘E’ Division spokesman Cpl. Robert McDonald said police have also alerted officials with the Ministry of Children and Family Development to the incident, as a 10-year-old boy was found in the car.

“We’ve been in touch with them; they’re aware of the situation,” McDonald said.

The 49-year-old driver, whose name has not been released, was clocked at 181 km/h as he travelled south on 176 Street at 32 Avenue – where the posted speed limit is 80 km/h.

Mounties say this 2005 Ferrari F430 was impounded after it was clocked going 100 km/h over the posted speed limit in Surrey.

McDonald said officers were taken aback when they saw a child in the vehicle.

“I don’t know how someone could put a child at risk like that,” he said.

The car had apparently been purchased just two days prior to the offence. The driver told police he was “just testing it.”

Pulled over without incident, the driver was issued a $483-fine – the highest possible fine for speeding – under the Motor Vehicle Act. See DRIVER / Page 8

She says she, her colleagues and city staff have done a lot to bring the city forward in the last nine years.

“There’s been a collective vision, an ability to move beyond petty politics, and we’ve taken the city from a residential suburb to the second metropolitan core in the region.”

She notes that has been done not by thinking outside the box, “we did it without a box.”

Whoever takes the mayoral position in the general civic election on Nov. 15 will still have some work to do, Watts says.

Moving into the future as one of the country’s fastest-growing cities has inherent challenges, she says, not the least of which are transportation, building on the city’s infrastructure and expanding on innovation.

So who among Surrey First – Watt’s 2005 creation of a coalition of independents – will get the slate’s nod to move forward?

Watts said she’s staying out of that decision.

Her replacement on the slate will be chosen by all elected

members of Surrey First, but Watts says she’s absenting herself from the vote.

As president of the slate, she says she will be at the table, and will help to get the chosen person elected.

But that will be done as a back-room supporter, not as part of a public campaign.

nod from Surrey First, but Hepner was tightlipped about it on Thursday.

“I told you, you will be the first to know,” Hepner said.

Coun. Barinder Rasode, who left Surrey First earlier this month, told The Leader she would run for mayor if Watts was stepping aside.

Couns. Bruce Hayne and Tom Gill also said they would consider running for mayor if the seat is vacant.

Coun. Judy Villeneuve said she hasn’t given it any thought.

And Coun. Mary Martin said that she would absolutely not consider a mayoral run, saying she’s focusing on running with Surrey First as a councillor.

As for Watts, she’s going to stay out of the sticky end of politics this fall, and focus on being mayor for the next seven months.

She has mixed emotions about leaving municipal government.

“It feels like the close of a chapter,” she says, “but in the same respect, I will miss it.”

ALDERGROVE

RAESIDE

Border upgrade welcome

N

ews that the Aldergrove border crossing will get a new building and Nexus lane starting in 2016 – and that there will be an expanded commercial port of entry there – is excellent news for cross-border travellers across Metro Vancouver.

In recent years, local border crossings have become increasingly congested, due in part to both population growth in border communities such as Surrey and White Rock, and the Canadian loonie being – until recent months, at least – near par with the U.S. dollar, thus drawing shoppers stateside.

So, with traffic increasing at both Douglas and Pacific Highway crossings here, it makes sense for the Aldergrove crossing to expand. The Nexus lane will be especially helpful to ease the burden at South Surrey’s two crossings.

The news about the commercial port of entry is particularly important to local business. In Langley, growth of the Gloucester industrial area and proximity to Highway 1 makes it a natural for businesses to ship goods via Highway 13 and the Guide Meridian in Washington. And while Surrey-based shippers will likely continue to move commercial goods through the Pacific Highway crossing, it at the very least provides more options during heavy-traffic times, saving importers and exporters both time and money.

Though construction projects at the crossing may cause disruptions to travellers in the short term – one needn’t look further than Douglas-crossing upgrades in 2008 and ’09 for evidence of such issues – in the long run, the move will be good for travellers south of the Fraser. As well, if the project does, in fact, provide a boost to industry, it may well increase employment in Langley, Surrey and surrounding communities, most of which continue to grow rapidly.

Business benefits aside, it simply makes sense to have border traffic be as seamless and quick as possible, particularly in an age where border security is a much more important issue than it used to be.

It is also time for Canada Border Services Agency to again consider 24-hour service. The opening hours of 8 a.m. to midnight at the Aldergrove crossing are a quaint anachronism, dating back to when the community was wholly rural. Having the border open 24 hours a day – like South Surrey and Sumas crossings – would offer even more service to travellers.

his is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime.

The Alberta oil industry’s Northern Gateway plan is to export bitumen to Asia via tankers from the B.C. coast. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.

My first column discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the terrible toll it took on the Alaskan habitat and fishery. It also gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitumen spill would be almost completely unrecoverable because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our seabed.

The solution that is best for Canada is to build a refinery in Kitimat. I am promoting and backing this solution. It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would float and evaporate if ever spilled. There are other enormous benefits: • There will be a major reduction in greenhouse gases. We will use new cuttingedge Canadian technology in our refinery.

can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and U.S. government websites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are not leaking. Furthermore some of the best pipelining companies in the world are based in Canada.

In addition, we will build a fleet of new tankers, powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport the refined products to Asia. This way we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as possible. The fleet will be owned by a company based in B.C. so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea.

Let me be up front about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a decision on Northern Gateway next month.

‘Fair Elections Act’ is anything but THE HARPER government is making a blatant attempt to change the electoral laws in their favour.

I’ve worked for 30 years at all election levels and was always proud of the organized and fair results. The so-called “Fair Elections Act” is anything but and the prime minister ought to be ashamed.

If the Conservative party is frightened that they cannot get re-elected fairly, then perhaps they ought to either govern better

or accept defeat gracefully.

The act, if passed, will embarrass Canada on the world stage. Disenfranchising a large sector of the electorate by abolishing vouching? Muzzling Elections Canada – universally respected for fairness and excellence? Transferring enforcement of electoral law to cabinet via the justice department rather than Parliament itself ? Putting more money into the electoral process by upping contribution limits and separating

campaign costs from cost of fundraising for campaigns? Letting incumbent parties in ridings appoint electoral staff ?

If this government seriously expects Canadians to accept this new electoral law as “fair” and an “improvement,” then perhaps they ought to go one step further. I say change the name of the country while you’re at it. May I suggest Zimbabwe?

First responder delays have doubled I READ the April 14 article “Cities

urged to match slower ambulance response” and feel compelled to take issue on a few points.

In my role as a first responder I have experienced how patient care and comfort make a difference to patients and their loved ones. In the research BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) reports to have completed, patient comfort is not a consideration, nor is the effect of first responders, as their measures begin with the arrival of BC Ambulance.

A third-party research paper recently completed by the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) evaluates the response times of BC Ambulance Service (BCAS) and fire to medical calls. The Surrey Fire Department follows the Code 2 or “routine response” protocols as determined by the BCAS dispatch. Surrey Fire Department does not deviate in any manner as implied in the story.

As the article stated, the protocol changes are contentious, but you the story doesn’t acknowledge that is for good reason. I have witnessed the lower level of patient care, firsthand.

As indicated by UFV research, the gap in response time has not been created by fire unnecessarily rushing to 35 per cent of the calls. I cannot speak for all municipalities, but in Surrey we are conforming to the changes and following BCAS protocols on emergency and nonemergency calls.

George Papadoupolous’ statement that if first responders went routine there would be no difference in delay time is untrue. Both Surrey and Vancouver have been responding routine and both have experienced delays which are roughly

We continue to have concerns around this very important issue. I sincerely hope the attention drawn to this matter will result in truly objective measures that result in better patient care; before now that has not been the case.

In my view, if BCEHS does not value or want to consider a

greater role for first responders the only alternative is adding more ambulances on the street – which may not necessarily be the most efficient or effective use of existing resources.

Beef up the pavement MAYOR DIANNE Watts and members of

council: Thank you for the prompt repair to the boulevard along the 6500-block of 144 Street, and for putting a concrete barrier in place that will hopefully keep the trucks turning into and out of Cedarline Products off the grass and sidewalk, But another set of truck tracks from the north entrance arcs completely across to the sidewalk. There is no protective barrier in that location.

The problem is primarily caused by the fact that the trailers have been getting longer, with three axles, and at the same time Cedarline has

narrowed its entrance driveways as they store more stacks of lumber right at the entrances, restricting the trucks from starting their turn onto 144 Street until they are half-way across the street.

The heavy trucks are also breaking up the pavement in the street in front of the entrances, resulting in permanent potholes in the road.

It is dangerous for cars to zig-zag around the potholes. The pavement in this area needs to be beefed up a bit to support the heavy trucks turning into and out of the Cedarline yard.

There were some impassioned presentations and I was particularly impressed with the students who spoke. However, I do believe that many of the comments were directed at the wrong level of government.

I think we need to remember that the provincial government establishes education funding levels and amounts – it is the provincial government that needs to make education a priority for B.C. I know that our local board of education advocates for increased support from Victoria, and I believe our community needs to as well.

As we are all aware, school districts across the province are struggling with costs and I believe much of this is due to a downloading of financial responsibilities from the provincial government to local boards of education. For example, this year when the province bargained and reached a deal with the CUPE workers in our schools, instead of paying for the increased costs of the settlement that they bargained, the government said school districts would need to find the money out of existing budgets.

Also, the BC Hydro rate increase needs to be covered by school districts. I do not believe school districts should have to pay such high utility costs. I also do not believe that school districts should have to pay carbon taxes and purchase carbon offsets. In my opinion, these are all costs the province should bear.

As a community, I think we need to recognize the excellent work that our teachers, school district management and staff do everyday. We also need to acknowledge that it is getting harder and harder for them to do such great work because of provincial government funding levels.

The budget shortfalls experienced by the Delta School District are a result of a funding shortfall from the province. We need to help our local public school system by advocating at the provincial level for more support for public education. Our children deserve it.

Marijuana: Users’ right to grow in legal limbo From page 3 Pot-friendly doctors have begun clustering

into groups and clinics, some going so far as to offer their services online, reviewing

patients’ documents via Skype and authorizing pot use.

sional,” Cavers said of web-based pot clinics that offer to help patients circumvent their regular doctors.

Sensible BC director Dana Larsen said the specializing groups of doctors typically charge a few hundred dollars to sign off on

prescriptions.

“It’s either providing a really useful service or profiteering off sick people, depending on how you look at it,” Larsen said. “Maybe both.”

without a doctor’s permission and they must buy from new commercial producers.

But other legacy users continue to legally grow their own medical pot after a court injunction last month froze Ottawa’s plan to terminate their licences.

Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy said a full trial over medical pot users’ right to grow their own will likely go ahead next February.

He said doctors are being too rigid in refusing to prescribe cannabis.

“I’m trying to figure out why they’re so scared of it,” Conroy said. “There’s no

“There are 38,000 [medical marijuana] patients out there now.

speeding conviction.

McDonald said the driver was “well aware” that the intersection he raced through was the scene of a horrific accident last year, in which five members of a Newton family were killed.

That devastating crash occurred on April 28, 2013. One week later, the 46-year-old Langley man who drove through a red light and hit the family’s vehicle died after undergoing surgery for a nonmalignant brain tumour that was discovered in hospital.

“It’s not just you, it’s everybody else that uses the roadway.”

Robert McDonald McDonald said there is a note on the Ferrari driver’s police file indicating the man “apologized for the speed.”

He stressed such incidents occur far too often, and the message is always the same.

“I keep saying every time we get something like that, you never know,” he said.

“The person might think their ability to drive is better than others. My thing to this is, how about the others on the other side? It’s not just you, it’s everybody else that uses the roadway.

“At 180 km/h, your chance of avoiding a collision is nil.”

the woman killed in Vancouver’s Stanley Park early Thursday morning as Thi Yen Le. Le, 33, was found in medical distress by a park caretaker near the Brockton Oval at about 6 a.m. April 24. Despite efforts by emergency responders, she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Vancouver Police say Le was targeted and investigators have ruled out the possibility that her body was dumped in the park after being attacked elsewhere.

“This isn’t a case of someone in the park being randomly attacked,” said Const.

Brian Montague, noting Le was known to police.

The exact cause of death has not been released and police say no additional information will be provided at this time.

a Guildford stabbing outside a Dairy Queen last week.

At about 10:30 p.m.

Monday (April 21), Surrey RCMP were called to reports of a brawl outside a Dairy Queen in the 9100-block of 152 Street.

There was no fight when police arrived, but moments later, they were called to reports of

a stabbing at an alcohol and drug recovery home a block and a half away.

They found a man with knife wounds to the chest and face.

A blood trail led from the home to an area outside the Dairy Queen, where the fight was reported. The injured man was taken to hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.

Armed robbers target Surrey cellphone stores POLICE ARE seeking sus-

pects in a string of armed robberies targeting cellphone stores in Surrey in recent weeks.

Surrey RCMP are investigating three robberies, and say surveillance footage indicates one of the suspects was involved in each incident.

One of the robberies allegedly took place at Wireless World at 128 Street and 96 Avenue, and two more robberies occurred at a second Wireless World location just minutes away at 128 Street and 84 Avenue.

At one store, a gun was used, while other weapons, including a machete, were brandished at the other store. Employees were also tied up.

In each incident, the culprits made off with thousands of dollars worth of smart phones.

Police say they have received several tips, but anyone with further information is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Kevin Samuel Carras was on a tubing trip with friends on the Skagit River in Hope in July 2011 when one of his buddies became pinned by a log underwater.

Fighting the river’s strong current, Carras managed to free his friend and tow him safely to shore.

He received a Medal of Bravery from Governor General of Canada David Johnston during a ceremony Thursday (April 24) Kevin Carras in Ottawa.

Forty two Medals of Bravery were handed out, as well as one Star of Courage.

Created in 1972, the awards recognize people who have risked their lives to protect the lives of others. While the bravery medals are for “acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances,” the courage star is for “acts of conspicuous courage in circumstances of great peril.”

tion to pay $5 million a month to cover the cost of its members’ benefits in response to their limited job action.

That possible financial weapon was broached earlier in the month by negotiators with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) and Education Minister Peter Fassbender said

it remains an option, particularly if the union escalates its tactics.

“The BCTF has said they’re taking this action to put pressure on us,” Fassbender said. “We may need to add some commensurate pressure to the BCTF if we find we’re not getting any solid options from them.”

demanded pay hikes estimated at 13.5 per cent over three years, while the government has offered 6.5 per cent over the first six years of an intended 10-year deal.

Fassbender said the BCTF has made some movement in negotiations, but not a significant amount.

He expressed disap-

pointment that despite continued talks the union opted Wednesday to begin its first-stage strike action – restricting administrative duties and supervision of students outside of class time – a move that has prompted several rural districts to cancel recess.

The BCPSEA had notified the union any strike action could trigger a call for it to cover health and welfare benefits for B.C.’s 40,000 teachers, estimated at $5 million a month.

“I don’t want to inflict pain on anybody,” Fassbender said. “But there are tools available to government as there are to the union.

“I don’t think we want to put out any threats but by the same token we need to ensure that we have stability in the classrooms. That’s our goal.”

BCTF president Jim Iker said he doubts the Labour Relations Board would approve a request ordering the union to pay benefits, noting a similar effort to make the union pay 15 per cent of wages was denied in the last teachers’ strike.

“We would see that as retaliatory and punitive for them to even think about or threaten that the union pay the cost of the benefits when teachers are in the classroom working as hard as they normally do with students,” Iker said.

Iker said it is the government that has not moved much off its position, including a refusal to bargain smaller class sizes and more access to specialist teachers.

“Our hope is we can get this deal done by the end of June and not be going into September still at the bargaining table.”

profiles of the Cloverdale skyline – the Bose heritage forest – is the subject of an upcoming public meeting that will guide its planning and development as parkland.

Cloverdale residents are invited to get involved in the planning and design of a park that’s being created on the site, at 16441 62 Ave. Dubbed “Bose Farm Park” after the historic farm property, the site represents a mostly forested area of 7.4 hectares (18.3 acres).

A preliminary open house is planned for Thursday, May 1, from 6 to 8 p.m. at A.J. McLellan Elementary school, 16545 61 St. There will be information boards but no specific plans will be shown at the meeting. The focus will be on the property’s heritage and to elicit ideas on what the park plan might look like.

Residents can also complete an online survey on what fea-

“The forested area is really a landmark in Cloverdale. As you’re driving along 60th eastbound, it really is a beautiful thing to see,” said Ted Uhrich, manager of parks planning, research

Residents with information on the background of the neighbourhood are encouraged to share their knowledge with city staff, he added.

While the city has done its own research into the heritage property’s background and history, there’s always more to learn.

often when we do go to these open houses, we get to know some of the background that we weren’t aware of,” Uhrich said.

The original farm was founded by Henry Bose in the late 19th century. Between 1912 to 1920, much of the land was cleared for farmland.

The property’s forested area was originally identified as future parkland in the West Cloverdale North Neighbourhood Concept Plan, guiding future development.

In a controversial move, about 200 trees from the Bose forest were felled last summer to make way for two new residential developments.

Heritage buildings – a barn, dairy shed and family farmhouse – are being restored as a condition of development, and part of the lands from both proposals have been dedicated as parkland.

That, along with some additional land the city acquired as parkland a few years ago, will form Bose Farm Park.

“I think it’s going to be a great asset for the neighbourhood, and Cloverdale in general,” Uhrich said.

An environmental consultant has conducted an initial survey but will return to collect more information this spring to get a fuller picture of the land’s environmental values in terms of flora and fauna.

“We expect to have a preliminary report in time for the first open house,” Uhrich said.

There will be a second open house later in the year, leading up to a preferred concept plan that will first be presented to the Parks, Recreation and Sport Tourism Committee and city council before the detailed design will be completed.

Meanwhile, updates will be posted on the city’s website.

There’s currently no public access. It’s hoped the park will open in 2015.

groups opposing a new coal export terminal at Fraser Surrey Docks are accusing the province of quietly paving the way for the project by allowing much more coal storage on Texada Island.

Coal from the U.S. would be hauled by rail through White Rock, South Surrey and Delta to Fraser Surrey Docks and then be barged to Texada, where it would be reloaded to oceangoing ships.

An amended mines permit enabling coal storage capacity to double to 800,000 tonnes was issued to Lafarge Canada’s Texada Quarrying operation in March.

It already handles coal from the Quinsam coal mine on Vancouver Island, but that volume would jump ten-fold if the proposed Surrey coal export terminal is approved and begins shipping four million tonnes per year.

Critics say concerned residents only learned of the amendment after it was disclosed in an April 10 email from B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office.

“It seemed to be quietly issued without anyone knowing,” said Laura Benson, a coal campaigner with the Dogwood Initiative.

Mines ministry spokesman Matt Gordon said all mines permitting decisions are “completely independent of any political influence.” He said the application was the subject of a public meeting last August and interested parties were notified when the permit was amended.

Opponents say they’re getting legal advice on whether the provincial approval of the amended mining permit is sufficient or if – as they believe – the Texada operation should be forced to obtain an environmental permit.

Area residents say coal from the existing operation has repeatedly ended up on

the authority of either the health or environment ministries.

Opponents of the project include local residents concerned about coal dust as well as climate change activists who aim to block the export of U.S. coal through B.C. Alan Fryer, spokesman for the Coal Alliance, said the many twists and turns of the approval process is improving the Fraser Surrey Docks proposal.

He said revisions have eliminated an originally planned coal stockpile in Surrey that was a concern to New Westminster residents.

Fryer also noted BNSF Rail has agreed to spray trains to suppress coal dust just before they cross the border into B.C.

Take the garden pea for example. Our parents and grandparents planted them, but their history dates back a bit farther – pea seeds were found in an Egyptian tomb at Thebes.

Garden peas, or Pisum sativum, are thought to have originated in the area around Pisa, Italy

where they grew wild.

The Greeks and Romans served boiled peas as a light refreshment during intermissions at their theatre presentations. It was a favourite early vegetable among Europeans, and various cultures adapted legends about peas.

In Britain, a pod containing nine peas was considered lucky.

Peas were also used as one of the many cures for warts. Each wart was supposed to be touched with a pea that was then wrapped in paper and buried. As the pea decayed in the ground, the wart was supposed to disappear.

In the language of flowers, the pea is a symbol of respect, and

drained, shallow, sandy soil that both dries out and warms up quickly.

They also like a new location in the garden each year, if possible.

Peas do not thrive in acid soil, and an application of Dolomite lime is essential for both peas and beans. Also, avoid using compost. Many seed companies are promoting the use of nitrogen inoculants with pea crops. These are simply granules of live nitrogen-fixing bacteria.

In general, they improve the growth of peas and increase crop yields.

Peas should be planted about two inches deep and about two inches apart. For maximum space usage, plant in wide three-foot rows, keeping each row about 18 inches apart.

Raised beds are beneficial to many garden vegetables, and peas are no exception. Soil levels, raised six to eight inches above ground level will raise the temperature of the soil from eight to 13 F. Little Marvel is an old dwarf pea that requires very little staking. I think, however, that the best dwarf peas are the Sugar Snap varieties.

Sugar Ann, Honey Pod Dwarf and Sweet Snap are three award-winning varieties, and their flavour is superb. The great feature of these peas is the fact that you eat the pod and all, and they never get bitter or old tasting.

Although peas are an early cool crop, this long cold spring has certainly delayed their start in many gardens. The good news is they can be planted now and with a bit of better weather they will grow quickly to provide you with their uniquely delicious flavour.

Randhawa playing for Canada Field hockey player invited to join national team for games in Great Britain

by Rick Kupchuk A FIELD HOCKEY player from North Delta is getting an opportunity to audition for a position with the national team that will play at the Commonwealth Games this summer.

Priya Randhawa, 19, is among four players from the junior women’s national team invited to join the senior squad for seven games in Great Britain April 27 to May 7. The Canadian team left last week (Thursday) and played the first of four consecutive games against England on Sunday. Canada will also play three games against Wales before returning

home.

In all, 20 players will make the trip, including three other junior team members – Amanda Woodcroft of Ontario, Rachel Donohoe from North Vancouver and Victoria’s Kathleen Leahy.

“Priya, Amanda, Rachel and Kathleen are all promising junior athletes and have been working hard to claim regular a spot on the senior roster throughout 2013-14,” said national team coach Ian Rutledge.

“This trip will be invalu- Priya Randhawa

able for their growth and allow them to position for a spot in the final 16 for the Commonwealth Games.”

The Commonwealth Games are July 23 to Aug. 3 in Glasgow, Scotland.

A member of Club India, Randhawa scored nine goals and added a pair of assists in 12 games played with the Premier Division team, tops among all players in the top-level of the Vancouver Women’s field Hockey

Association.

A graduate of North Delta Secondary School, she made her international debut against the United States in 2011 in San Diego with the junior national team.

The Canadian national women’s team is currently ranked 23rd by the International Hockey Federation, and will face a difficult opponent in their first four matches in Great Britain.

England is ranked third, behind only Netherlands and Argentina. Wales is ranked 29th.

“Against teams like England, you have no place to hide and this kind of exposure will test both our on-field and off-field systems,” said Rutledge.

summer.

Although forced to move north for the season, the Islanders will continue call Sungod home on a part-time basis in future seasons.

“We’re an all-Delta organization,” said Islanders governor Gary McBride.

“That’s why we played two games out of the Sungod Arena last season. It helps promote the game in Delta.

“And starting next season, we will be playing regular season games in Ladner and playoff games in Sungod. That will certainly help grow the game.”

A team that has hopes of playing in the Minto Cup national championship in late August at the Langley Events Centre, the Islanders survived a quick start by Nanaimo to wear down the visitors.

The Islanders scored three times in a 77-second span and led 3-2 after just three minutes of play. Delta responded with four consecutive tallies and were up 7-5 after one period, and took a 10-6 lead by the midway point of the game.

Eli McLaughlin scored four times and assisted on four other goals while Jayden Campbell also netted four goals and collected three assists to lead the Islanders offense.

Jonathan Phillips had a hat trick, Mike Henry, Connor Davidson and Jordan Traversy notched two goals each and Evan Messenger contributed with a single to complete the Delta scoring.

Delta outshot the Timbermen 57-46.

Ryland Hood was in goal for Delta, making 34 saves.

The Islanders will play their first road game of the season tomorrow (Wednesday) night against the Coquitlam Adanacs, before their next home game on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. against the Port Coquitlam Saints in the Sungod Arena.
