Watts won’t run again Three-time Surrey mayor won’t say what’s next beyond travel

Ferrari driver clocked at 100 km/h over limit

By Jennifer Lang A 49-year-old Langley man told police he was just “testing” his Ferrari when it was clocked last Saturday in Surrey going more than 100 km/h over the posted limit.

The man was pulled over without incident by the Fraser Valley Integrated Road Safety Unit as the vehicle was traveling southbound on 176 Street and 32 Avenue.

Officers were surprised to discover a child in the car.

What’s more, the driver was aware it was the same intersection that was the scene of a horrific crash last April that claimed five members of the same family.

“He remembered that crash,” said Cpl. Robert McDonald of “E” Division RCMP traffic services.

The man told police he’d purchased the

grey 2005 Ferrari F30 a few days earlier and was “just testing it out,” McDonald said.

The driver was fined $483 – the maximum penalty under the Motor Vehicle Act for excessive speed – and the vehicle was impounded for a week.

The incident occurred at 6:50 p.m. April 19, nearly a year to the week after a Dodge Caravan ran a red light and collided with a northbound car, claiming the lives of three generations of the same family. A sixth person later died in hospital.

Recently, there have been a number of incidents involving drivers in high-end cars traveling at excessive speeds, but this one seems “extreme,” McDonald said.

The time of day, the speed, the fact that there was a child in the vehicle, and the location make this incident even more

pulled the car over and later confirmed the Ferrari was traveling at 181 km/h in an 80 km/h zone.

McDonald implored people to be more responsible on the road.

“People say, ‘I’m a good driver,’” he said.

“You may be able to handle your car, but think of the other drivers. What happens if the person next to you is on a cell phone and isn’t paying attention and swerves in to your lane, or goes through a red light?”

At that speed, he said, “there’s absolutely no chance.”

There were no other witnesses to the incident, meaning the driver will suffer no other penalty other than the fine and was able to pick up his car after seven days.

“In this case, if we had other evidence, it could have been different,” McDonald said.

Confessions of a bad friend B

ack in the day (not really all that long ago) I used to be quite the social butterfly.

My little wings were always aflutter from one party or gathering to the next – time, bills and babysitters were not an issue.

However, those days are now long gone – as are many of the friendships formed during that fun and ‘carefree’ chapter of my life.

While some have stuck around, the visits and phone calls are far and few in between.

I take 100 per cent of the blame.

It was around six years ago – newly pregnant with my oldest daughter, Molly – that I traded in my delicate wings for some dependable stretchy pants. Sometime during this swap, I also became... dare I say it... a pretty bad friend.

(Gasp).

I became notorious for breaking plans at the last minute, ignoring incoming calls and zoning-out mid-conversation during a pal’s crisis.

Exhausted, bloated and highly hormonal – or irrational, as my husband would tell you (in my defense I really needed a tomato, even if the roads were blanketed in snow), I began optioning for

quiet evenings at home with a bag of chips, slippers and my trusty PVR’d recordings.

The idea of wearing anything other than pajamas after 6 p.m. and a Scrunchy – yes, I actually still own one – just seemed like way too much effort.

“Don’t worry, I’ll have more energy and we’ll do things after the baby is born,” I told them all.

Boy oh boy, was I wrong.

Fast-forward to half a decade later – Molly is almost five and Zoe is three and a half – my ill-fitting wings are still collecting dust in the closet, my stretchy-pant collection has grown and I’m still bloated, hormonal and irrational at the best of times – even without a human life growing inside me.

While I used to love chatting on the phone, it’s not nearly as fun with a preschooler screaming, “Let me talk. Let me talk!” in the background, or having to put someone on hold mid-sentence so you can wipe a bum or bandage a bloody knee.

For the sake of salvaging my remaining friendships and my own personal sanity, I do attempt to squeeze into those wings from time-to-time. I’m pretty lucky in

First, but Hepner was tight-lipped 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 Black Press she would run for mayor if Watts was stepping aside.

Rasode said Saturday, this day is about honouring the mayor.

“Today is about recognizing Mayor Dianne Watts and all

the excellent work she’s done,” Rasode said. As to when she’ll make her plans public, she would only say “there willl come a time very soon to have that conversation.”

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.”

By Kevin Diakiw News that Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts will not be running for civic office this fall leaves several empty seats to fill at Surrey City Hall.

For the first time in years, there will be empty seats, at least three of them.

Former Coun. Marvin Hunt stepped down from his council position this year after he was elected as Liberal MLA for Surrey-Panorama. His council seat is empty.

With Watts deciding not to run, one of the Surrey First councillors, widely believed to be Coun.

Linda Hepner, will vacate their council seat for the

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.

Speculation has it that Coun. Linda Hepner is getting the nod from Surrey

innovation.

The person who leads that charge is going to need some special abilities.

“You need someone at the helm that will be a very strong leader that can bring people together.”

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

Produce

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 – swimming 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 facilities and a child advocacy centre.

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

mayoral run.

In addition, Coun.

Barinder Rasode, who just jumped from the Surrey First slate, will be running for mayor, leaving her council seat vacant.

So there will be three new faces on Surrey council.

Or will there?

This city is abuzz with rumours former Mayor Doug McCallum is planning a return to city council.

He told Black Press he wasn’t interested, but members of the community have since told this newpaper he is working for support.

Linda Hepner

Doug McCallum

Barinder Rasode

With no mayoral incumbent, could he win that position? Or is he satisfied with a run for city councillor?

There’s also a widely held belief that former Coun. Judy Higginbotham might return to the civic scene. She’s got

good name recognition and might do well in the polls.

The abiding question is, does she have an appetite for the mayor’s chair? And could she win it?

No matter how it shakes out, this is going

to be one of the most exciting elections Surrey has seen in decades.

The electric-powered heritage railway launched weekend passenger operations last June, making good on the dream of returning a working Interurban to the original line through Surrey.

More than 5,000 passengers climbed aboard for the trip to Sullivan Station and back, and many more visitors are expected this year, according to Allen Aubert, secretary of the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society.

The 55-minute train ride appeals to multiple generations, from little kids taking their first ride on the rails to seniors and retirees who remember riding the Interurban as kids.

Aubert said the replica 1910 passenger station, located at the foot of 176A Street south of Hwy 10, has been the

focus of intense preparations this spring.

The grounds have been spruced up as part of a landscaping project designed by Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s horticulture department. Sponsors BC Hydro, Scotiabank Cloverdale, and Potter’s Nursery have also helped out.

The centrepiece is a new, paved pathway connecting Cloverdale Station to the car barn.

The path includes an optimal viewpoint that’s bound to be a hit with shutterbugs.

New this year will be a speeder ride and car barn tour for just $5.

There will be guided tours every hour.

Passenger service begins Sunday, May 11 and operates Saturdays and Sundays to Oct. 13.

Cloverdale Station will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets $10. No advance sales.

Trains run at 10 a.m., 11:15 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:45 p.m., and 3 p.m. – subject to availability of the track, which is used by the Southern Railway of B.C. Passengers are advised to call ahead or check the society’s website before heading to Cloverdale Station; Aubert said there were

approximately a dozen delays last season.

The society is “working furiously” to get approvals in place for a bypass track that would ensure the Interurban passenger service could operate without interruption, he added.

Q We would like to paint the outside of our house this summer. The more we think about it, the more daunting it seems. Where do we start? Can you help?

A Certainly! This will be the largest canvas you will ever paint and you need to get it right. Having a small window of opportunity for exterior painting in BC, it’s a good idea to have everything ready to go once we head into good weather.

Start by driving around your neighbourhood and other residential areas. Take photos of colour schemes that appeal. It is important to take into consideration the colours of your roof, gutters and downpipes, and any existing stone or brick. Colours that look good on one house, very often won’t on another due to existing materials and aspect.

Closer to the time, paint a test patch on each side of the house – on the body and on the trim. View the colours at different times of the day. When the job is finally finished you’re going to want to love what you see when you drive into the driveway, so taking these steps is important!

Should you require decision-making assistance, consider hiring a Colour & Paint Consultant for expert colour, sheen and product knowledge. And, if you’re not attempting to do the painting yourself, make sure you book a reputable painter – now!

Finally - don’t forget the front door – the icing on the cake! Nothing says “Welcome to Our Home” more than a great front door colour. Good luck!

Excessive water pressure may cause siding damage, discoloration, nails or staple holding the siding might rust and drip down the siding, and in extreme cases might cause structural decay, promote mold (from behind) or electrical damage over time.

Best bet is to use a soft brittle brush to scrub using household bleach and water solution or using store bought cleaning solutions and tools and rinse off with a garden hose. Be safe!

Traditional running shoes with pronation control and elevated cushioned heel change the foot’s Christelle Stoesz dynamics and proprioception in how it naturally strikes the ground. Research shows that a “protective” shoe increases the impact force running has on the bones and joints.

Instead, choose light weight running shoes that allow room for the natural shape of the foot and that allow you to feel contact with the ground. Keep the amount the heel is elevated to a minimum. This will help create more natural running biomechanics, foot strike pattern and stride length. When buying new shoes, wearing them gradually will allow your feet to properly adapt.

budget and something that will look great and last for years when Nathan Hazelhurst we live in such a wet climate! The most common materials used to build decks are Composite, Pressure Treated, Cedar and Duradek.

I generally recommend Pressure Treated decks because it’s cost effective and has great durability and longevity. Composite can start off great but what many people find is that after a while the sun can fade it or cause it to flake and it costs about three times more money than your other options.

A:

X-ray evaluation of the dental and periodontal (gum or bone) tissues is a critical tool needed for your examination.

Dentists use x-rays for many reasons: to find hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities. It is possible for both tooth decay and periodontal disease to be missed during a visual exam alone. Most people will have 4 small x-rays taken once a year during one of their cleaning visits. These are used to detect hidden decay and changes in bone density caused by gum disease. Sometimes a smaller, individual x-ray is needed to detect abnormalities of the root structure and surrounding bone of a tooth.

digestive tract is an essential element in converting that “fuel” into nutrients our pets’ bodies can use.

The “good bacteria” housed in the gut aid in digestion and absorption. Those same bacteria can work to keep diseasecausing organisms from latching onto the lining of the gut.

There are many factors that can diminish these positive bacteria in your dog or cat. Unavoidable factors such as age and radiation from cell phones and WIFI can destroy the “good guys”. The antibiotics in the meat used for pet food, chlorine in drinking water and especially the antibiotics that vets seem so keen on prescribing to your animal will all destroy the good along with the bad bacteria in your pet’s gastrointestinal tract.

Supplementation with a high quality probiotic can help your animal get the most from it’s food. It can also deter the growth of disease and fight cancer by neutralizing enzymes which cause tumour growth.

So do our pets “need” probiotics?? Perhaps not, but they could work towards making sure your pet is THRIVING…not just SURVIVING.

Mortgage Coming Up for Renewal?

Q I’m getting warnings there’s no support for my XP from M/Soft. What are my options?

A The real question ‘Is it worth panicking over’? Some people think XP is going to stop their PCs from working.

Things to consider are: 1) The age of your computer 2) Are you corporate? (Need to keep up to-date) 3) Do you go on-line? 4) Online C.Card use?

However just because M/S won’t support XP doesn’t mean you can’t still use it! We offer excellent upgrade pricing. W7 is the more popular choice right now & will be supported for at least another 10 yrs.

Q I’ve never had a computer before & I’ve had this used laptop for a week now it’s slow & full of viruses. Why? A Perhaps it was infected when you bought it or if it has a free anti-virus program they only detect viruses and not malware. Perhaps it’s full of malware & no viruses!

Careful web surfing can help.

Adults find that Martial Arts is excellent for fitness, stress relief, confidence and is lots of fun. They enjoy the social atmosphere that results from sharing the challenges and accomplishments with fellow students. At Cloverdale Black Belt Academy many adults join to share the positive experience with their children often attending tournaments together so that they can cheer each other on.

A: Different daycares have different policies. At KidZrock we have specific summer programs that can be used by families not ordinarily enrolled.

We have daily and weekly rates for programs that include crafts, games, outdoor activities and field trips! At our Langley Twin Rinks school age and preschool program we are open during the summer to offer extended hours of care for Twin Rinks’ summer camps!

At Invis-Feisal & Associates, we can speak to you about any concerns you may have, including interest rate trends, future plans and other financial decisions that may affect your mortgage requirements. Be prepared so that you know what to do as your mortgage renewal approaches.

HCG

A HCG has been publicized by TV and radio talk shows as a weight reduction miracle. Cloverdale Pharmasave compounds a homeopathic mixture called Metabolic Syndrome Mix that works the same way if not better than HCG. It has homeopathic ingredients that activate and balance hormones in the same way as HCG. It also activates metabolism, curb craving, get rid of excessive water retention, stimulate various endocrinal glands, support stress hormones, and activate liver detoxification.

This mixture should produce whatever benefit that HCG can produce, and it is much safer than HCG.

Why should your missing teeth be replaced?

Q:

Your teeth play an important role and even one missing tooth can have a negative impact on your remaining teeth and oral health. When a tooth is missing the healthy adjacent teeth tend to tilt, rotate and shift affecting how your upper and lower teeth meet. This can cause problems when chewing and has an impact on surrounding muscles and your jaw joints.

Partial dentures can be a great solution to replace teeth by: r QSFTFSWJOH UIF OBUVSBM QMBDFNFOU PG ZPVS FYJTUJOH UFFUI r QSFWFOUJOH ZPVS SFNBJOJOH UFFUI GSPN UJMUJOH BOE NPWJOH r QSFWFOUJOH GVSUIFS EBNBHF UP ZPVS SFNBJOJOH UFFUI r SFTUPSJOH ZPVS TNJMF BOE JNQSPWJOH TQFFDI r SFTUPSJOH ZPVS BCJMJUZ UP FBU DPOà EFOUMZ BOE FGà DJFOUMZ

Q: What is a good age to start training in Martial Arts?

For older children the element of competition motivates them to reach their personal best. Each student achieves successes such as learning a new move, improving a technique, breaking a board or earning a new belt rank which helps build confidence on their path toward larger goals. This confidence provides success in other areas such as school or other sports.

1. Do you plan on moving in the near future? If yes, then an open mortgage or one that’s portable could give you the flexibility you need.

Some mortgage lenders have more flexibility than others.

2. Do you want to pay down your mortgage more quickly?

Consider an accelerated payment schedule or a lump sum payment as it could save thousands in interest over the life of the mortgage.

3. Is your monthly cash flow a little tight? Increasing your amortization will lower your payments and free up cash for other needs or consider a refinance to eliminate interest debts.

4. Do you want to consider some long-awaited home renovations? The best time to make changes to your mortgage is usually upon renewal.

document signed by a professional surveyor. It shows the dimensions Edith Katronis of the property and where the house sits on the property. When applying for a mortgage, some banks require it before advancing funds. If you do not have a site survey, you can purchase title insurance (ask your lawyer or notary) and most banks will accept that. City Hall in Surrey also has site surveys on file, however, they charge $18.00 just to inquire if there is one. This fee is not refundable if they don’t have one.

In short, you do not need one to sell your house, but it may be a requirement of purchase by the lender.

Therapy dogs from Cloverdale are raising a new crop of readers

By Jennifer Lang On a quiet Wednesday afternoon in the cosy library at East Kensington Heritage School in Surrey, a 210-pound English mastiff named Leroy is draped across the floor, snoring loudly. A boy curled up by his hefty haunch reads out loud from a storybook.

Close at hand, Leroy’s handler, B.J. Novak, offers quiet prompts when the human reader hesitates.

The boy, Kaylem Mercer, is in Grade 1, and doesn’t seem to mind that his furry companion might be drifting off. Leroy’s calm, contented bulk is reassuring.

Seconds later, Leroy shifts position and starts pawing at the book, eager for a pat or a cuddle.

Kaylem’s single-minded focus is admirable. Unfamiliar words are sounded out, and the story proceeds.

In spite of his bulk, Leroy is practically still a puppy. But at just 14 months, he’s only days away from formally certifying as a registered therapy dog.

Fleetham, his handler, lives on rural acreage in

Cloverdale and has five therapy dogs: there’s Chewie, a 9-and a-half-year-old English mastiff, Special Agent Magee, a 17-month-old bloodhound, Liam, a gangly Irish wolfhound, and Leroy, who today is sprawled across the library floor like an elastic, thick-waisted pony.

He shifts position as the next child wordlessly enters the library, grabs a book, plunks down on a blanket, and starts reading.

Once a week, Fleetham brings one of her therapy dogs to read with a handful of students at East Kensington Heritage School, a small elementary school (just 43 students) at 2795 184 Street.

Every child is different, says Fleetham. Some read

him focused long enough to get through a book, that’s wonderful,” she said, adding Otto looks forward to his Wednesday sessions.

“It’s just being focused in a positive atmosphere where he wants to carry on,” she said. “It’s wonderful.”

According to Kindergarten/Grade 1 teacher Angie Witzel, the children benefit from reading to someone who is supportive and won’t criticize them.

“It’s that freedom to just read,” she said, adding it’s also a novelty, and works as a positive reward.

Reading isn’t the only reason Fleetham and her therapy dogs have been invited to the school.

The one-on-one sessions also seem to benefit a student who has a rare genetic disorder that makes her shy around dogs, but also prone to verbal outbursts.

When school’s out, Fleetham and her stable of therapy dogs guest star at summer camps for the BC SPCA, teaching children how to avoid getting bitten by dogs, among other tips.

‘Money Man’ Marino lives up to his nickname, off to Canadian driving nationals

Contributed Driver/trainer Jim Marino indicated to me that his past weekend at Fraser Downs was one of the best weekends of his racing career.

On Friday night (April 25), Jim lived up to his nickname that former track announcer Rick Uppal gave him: “The Money Man Marino.” Jim won both of the $25,000 Sire Stake Finals and one of the $75,000 finals. He also captured the $15,000 Open race on the card.

The Money Man’s horses earned over $76,000 on the night for various owners.

During the week I was quoted as saying that if any of the B.C. drivers finished in the top two of the Standardbred Canada Western Region Drivers Challenge, they would have to do it on sheer talent.

Of the four B.C. drivers (Bill Davis, John Chappell, Jim Marino and Scott Knight) I thought Davis had the best chance and Marino with the least chance.

After the seventh leg of the contest, Alberta Driver Brandon Campbell had cinched the championship with three wins, but four drivers had a chance to finish second going in to the ninth and final leg.

Earlier in the week, after looking at the program, the Money Man stated Pureform Olym-

CELTIC NIGHT Tartan Pride Highland Dance Team hosts a night of Celtic fun and entertainment. This year, we will also celebrate the 20th anniversary of the team, from the Joan Murray School of Dance in Cloverdale. Saturday, May 10 from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at Cloverdale Catholic ParishHall, 17475 59 Avenue. All ages. Blackthorn and the Vancouver Police Pipe Band will be guest performers. Tickets at 604576-1619 or tpride@shaw. ca.

Good luck, Jim, and Brandon Campbell, you will be great ambassadors for Western Canada.

Last Saturday wrapped up this part of the Fraser Downs harness race season.

The next live race day is

200 - 17618 58 Ave., Cloverdale, BC

Jim Marino

pia (12-1 morning line) had “no chance”, but I guess “sheer talent” came through and with the win, Marino edged Gerry Hudon by one point to finish second in the championship and earn a spot to the national championship in PEI in August.
