Waste facility coming to Newton Metro Vancouver is building a residential drop-off ‘eco centre’ in Surrey

by Kevin Diakiw WEST NEWTON will be home to a new waste facility,

which is hoped to stem almost $1-million worth of illegal dumping each year in Surrey.

The plan has been in the works for years, but it’s believed Metro Vancouver and the City of Surrey will have agreed on a site soon.

The residential drop-off centre, now referred to as an “eco centre,” will take only household waste, no commercial waste, and city curbside pick-up trucks will not be allowed to use it.

Metro Vancouver will be financing the $8- to $14-million facility.

The eco-centre’s primary purpose is to give residents a closer place to drop off household waste, such as renovation material, merchandise, yard waste (tree limbs), etc.

The function will be somewhat similar to a waste transfer station, but it will be far smaller in scope.

Coun. Bruce Hayne

The race for who will become the mayoral candidate for Surrey First is now down to two candidates.

The job for Surrey’s mayor is open this fall, as Mayor Dianne Watts has said she has no plans to run for the centre chair this time.

Six elected members of Surrey

First – Watts’ creation of a “coalition of independents” – will decide who the group’s next mayoral candidate will be.

Initially, the three in the race were Couns. Tom Gill, Linda Hepner and Bruce Hayne.

However, Gill told The Leader Monday he has decided not to pursue the mayor’s chair this election, saying he doesn’t want to take any more time away from his young family.

He also said he’ll be backing Hepner in her run for mayor.

Hayne said he is still considering running for mayor.

“I’ve put my hat into that ring,” Hayne said Monday. “I expect we will know in a week to 10 days.

“Certainly if the group asked me to step forward, I would,” Hayne said.

‘Losses in the thousands’ for Surrey farmer Weekend deluge floods vegetable fields

Nootebos said. “There’ll be a gap for a week where we’ll be out of… about a halfdozen items.”

Waste facility: Is ‘good news’ for the community From page 1

Open for business: Scott Fraser, CEO of Encorp Pacific, Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux, Rod Lotzkar, president of Regional Recycling, and Coun. Bruce Hayne perform the ceremonial ribbon cutting at the grand opening of Regional Recycling in Cloverdale May 3. The business will accept free or purchase all forms of appliances, paper, metal, glass, electronics, light bulbs and fixtures, batteries, beverage containers, paint, solvents, pesticides and some plastics. Regional Recycling operates eight public recycling facilities in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Abbotsford, Whistler and Nanaimo. The Cloverdale location is at 5534 176 St.

The three- to five-acre site will require zoning for “high impact industrial,” limiting the possibility of locations to just a few.

Because it involves land acquisitions, city staff are unable to disclose the locations being considered.

That said, the only areas in Newton with that type of zoning are in west Newton, roughly bordered by 88 Avenue to the north,

Other areas with industrial zoning in Newton have been dismissed as possibilities.

If the property is already zoned “highimpact” industrial, no public hearing will be required.

However, Metro Vancouver will be holding public consultation hearings nonetheless.

Coun. Bruce Hayne, who chairs the city’s environmental advisory committee, says the move to put the waste facility in Newton is all about making it as easy as possible for people not to illegally dump their waste.

“Forcing people to drive to Port Kells to get rid of a mattress as

an example, (when they live in) South Surrey or Newton, is problematic for some people,” Hayne said. “Or at least it’s a little more difficult, so it’s easier to dump it.”

A site will be determined by summer, and Hayne said public information meetings will take place shortly after.

Hayne said he’s not concerned about bringing a potentially controversial subject before the public prior to the Nov. 15 election.

“Really, this is all about convenience, and with an emphasis on the recycling component of it,” Hayne said. “I think it’s nothing but good news for the community. It’s going to be an added service to them with virtually no downside to them.”

Civic election: Is Nov. 15, 2014 From page 1 “If the group ends up backing Linda (Hepner), or someone else, I’ll support them and we’ll just move forward.”

Hepner has the momentum at this time.

Out of the six Surrey First members who will be voting, Hepner has the support of Couns. Mary Martin and Gill.

If Hayne can secure the support of Couns. Judy Villeneuve and Barbara Steele, Watts may have to break the tie vote.

Coun. Barinder Rasode has already told The Leader she is running for mayor. She will be facing off against the Surrey First victor.

Surrey realtor and businessman Vikram Bajwa has also publicly declared his intention to run.

Hepner said results of the Surrey First vote will be made public in a couple of weeks.

The civic election is scheduled for Nov. 15.

LETTERS

Celebrate your Mother!

Patients are a priority

A RECENT letter published in The

Surrey-North Delta paper from Mike McNamara, president of the Surrey Fire Fighters Association, made a number of assumptions regarding changes to ambulance response that require clarification.

As the BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) board chair, I feel it is necessary your readers receive accurate information about the Resource Allocation Plan (RAP).

BCEHS and the board value the work of first responders; however, as the agency responsible for prehospital care in B.C., it is important that BCEHS strive to provide the best system-wide response for patients and taxpayers.

McNamara’s letter implies that changes to ambulance response were not made in the best interest of patients and the public. This is simply untrue. The mandate of BCEHS board is to ensure that the best interest of patients and the public is always a priority. The board also reviews and oversees all major public policy decisions related to ambulance service, including the RAP.

Sad end to Earth Day fun

The BCEHS board recently requested that BCEHS engage a reputable third-party expert to review the RAP methodology.

Alan Craig, an expert on prehospital health care, completed this review in early 2014. Mr. Craig’s analysis determined that the BCEHS RAP committee – comprised of physicians, paramedics, nurses and first responders – used evidence-based methodology to develop the updated ambulance and fire department response to medical calls. Craig’s report also determined that changes were made based on industry best practices using a process that is superior to those used by most emergency medical service (EMS) systems.

Craig is a leader in EMS research and has published several peer-reviewed academic journals.

In 2010, he and several physicians also conducted a study in Toronto which found that 83 per cent of calls assessed as emergencies could be downgraded to routine responses for first responders with no negative clinical outcome for

patients. To ensure efficient use of resources, Toronto EMS dramatically reduced the number of calls assigned to first responders as a result of Craig’s research.

McNamara’s letter also states that “BCEHS attempts to justify the controversial changes in protocols by suggesting patients that are known to be worst case receive more rapid response.”

Of course BCEHS aims to provide a faster response to patients who are critically ill or “worst case” – this is the cornerstone of the updated RAP. Since the implementation of the response changes for paramedics in October 2013, ambulances are getting to the sickest patients faster – it is these cases where faster response times can drastically improve patient outcomes.

I and the BCEHS executive remain committed to ensuring the right care is provided to the right patient, in the right time while using public resources efficiently.

Port work on ancient site dismays collectors Project banks habitat and blocks looters, officials say

by Jeff Nagel

“I was diagnosed with ulcerative erative colitis at 3 years old. I’ve never known what it’s like not to be sick. Join in me at M&M Meat Shops Charity BBQ Day to help raise money for Crohn’s rohn’s and colitis research.”

AN ANCIENT aboriginal

site on the Fraser River in Delta is being sealed over

by Port Metro Vancouver, much to the distress of amateur archaeologists who regularly prowl the shoreline in search of artifacts.

The 9,000-year-old Glenrose Cannery site, one of the Lower Mainland’s oldest and richest pre-contact locations, was partly capped

two years ago when the South Fraser Perimeter Road was built, but the foreshore is now being rip-rapped by the port as part of a habitat banking project.

The aim is to create a marsh bench that enhances salmon habitat, which can be used as a credit to offset future damage to habitat from port projects like the expansion of Deltaport.

Port officials say the work will also protect the

artifacts in the area from looters, but collector Tony Hardie doesn’t see the logic.

“It just doesn’t make any sense,” he said.

“They’re using heavy machinery and covering it with rocks. What they’re doing right now is doing more damage than 50 collectors could have done over the next 50 years.”

The tide currently erodes the bank and releases a steady stream

Tony Hardie of arrowheads, beads, carving tools and other artifacts that are snapped up by Hardie and others.

“It’s a shame it’s going to be covered forever,” Hardie said. “It’s the end of an era and the end of the Glenrose cannery site as we know it.”

The project to create 1.5 hectares of habitat along Annieville Channel immediately upstream of the Alex Fraser Bridge is costing the port about $1.5 million in all.

Gord Ruffo, program manager for Port Metro Vancouver’s habitat enhancement program, said there are few intertidal marsh benches left in the Fraser River estuary – 70 per cent of them have been lost over time to diking and other development – and the Glenrose site is a good place to create a new one.

The resulting marsh is expected to provide rearing habitat for juvenile salmon, particularly Harrison River chinook, as well as feeding, nesting and refuge areas for foraging birds.

Ruffo said the work is supported by area First Nations that are concerned about disrespect to artifacts or human remains by illegal collectors.

Ruffo said the work is being monitored by archaeologists working on behalf of aboriginal bands in case any artifacts are uncovered.

Some First Nations consider artifact hunting as disrespectful as grave robbing in a cemetery.

Hardie insists he’s an ethical collector.

“I’m not a looter,” he said. “It’s a good thing to stop people from digging and damaging any heritage site of any kind. But I’ve never had a problem when people do what I call salvage archaeology – walking an eroding river bank where the artifacts are going to be damaged, destroyed and washed away.”

Surrey doubles number of Mounties hired this year Internal savings within the force have allowed the city to bring in 18 more officers in 2014

by Kevin Diakiw SURREY IS more than

doubling the number of RCMP officers it was planning to hire this year, a move made possible by savings within the federal force.

The Leader has learned the plan follows a year during which the RCMP exceeded its overtime budget by $2.7 million.

Surrey’s police committee proposed Monday that the city increase the number of planned officers by 18, adding to the dozen already included in the 2014 budget.

That brings to 30 the number of Mounties which will be added to the detachment, bringing the force up to 703 members this year.

Coincidentally, the $2.7 million in extra overtime expenditures is exactly the cost of 18 officers.

However, the city says the new hiring has been made possible thanks to the RCMP finding cost efficiencies in the officers’ health plan, through fleet changes and with improved division administration.

Surrey RCMP Chief

“We have established efficiencies in our service delivery model, our ability to respond to calls at a local level, but at the national level, we’re noticing differences across the board on a broader spectrum,” Fordy said.

Mayor Dianne Watts said it’s the kind of policing numbers Surrey has been wanting for some time. Fordy asked for 27 officers during budget discussions last year, but was only given 12.

If overtime is a measure of workload, Surrey RCMP is in need of more

Chief Supt. Bill Fordy Supt. Bill Fordy told the city’s police committee the cost of the officers will be met entirely through these internal savings.

officers.

The Mounties budgeted for $4 million in overtime last year, but exceeded that by almost 70 per cent.

Fordy said 2013 was a particularly busy year.

Surrey experienced 25 homicides last year, a record number. Fordy said while the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team takes custody of those files, Surrey Mounties assist in all of those investigations.

“We know that the first 72 hours (after a homicide) are crucial,” Fordy told The Leader. “What

How many cops does Surrey need?

Mounties meet the provincial average for caseloads per officer

by Kevin Diakiw SEVEN YEARS ago, Sur-

rey vowed to maintain a police officer-per-population level equivalent to the national average, at the time, one officer per 700 people.

The promise was enshrined in the muchtouted Crime Reduction Strategy, a lead item on page 11 of the document.

It stated that the city needed to keep policing at a “minimum of one officer per 700 residents or better.”

Even with the 30 new officers announced Monday, Surrey will have one officer per 726 residents.

In addition to the 30 officers just announced, Surrey would have to hire an additional 28 police officers at a cost of $4.2 million to meet the ratio.

That’s equivalent to a tax increase of almost two per cent, or $26.54 on the average property tax bill.

Whether that’s necessary or not depends on which figures are deemed important.

In 2001, then RCMP Chief Supt. Terry Smith told The Leader the “copper-pop” ratio isn’t as important as a figure like the criminal case loads per officer.

By that standard, Surrey isn’t doing too badly.

The B.C. Ministry of Justice figures for 2012 ( the most recent available) show Surrey RCMP had a caseload of 65 files per officer. The average for police forces serving populations more than 15,000 people is 64.

So by that measure, Surrey RCMP is at the provincial average for a force its size.

The statistics also indicate in 2012, Surrey residents were paying $234 apiece for their policing

needs, just over the B.C. average of $224.

Many people in Surrey believe the city needs more Mounties. Crime statistics show Criminal Code offences are on the rise, particularly in Newton, which has been recording high crime numbers for more than a year.

But it has been suggested by Mayor Dianne Watts that newer ways of policing may also be necessary. She said

last month that moving forward, Surrey would not be sticking to a copper-pop strategy.

By the numbers HERE’S WHAT you’re pay-

ing in taxes for policing (based on the average Surrey home worth $643,600): • $1,590 for total property taxes (2014); • 42 per cent of property taxes go to policing; • 95 cents per officer;

Fraser Health Authority cuts surgeries to make budget

A great read.

AWARD WINNING STORIES

Laser Cutting

Wait times already much longer than Vancouver Coastal FRASER HEALTH has

curtailed surgeries in order to avoid an operating room budget overrun despite the fact surgical wait times at its hospitals are already significantly longer than for patients in the neighbouring Vancouver Coastal region.

Dr. Peter Blair, director of the surgical program for Fraser Health, said the reduction of surgeries since January and February was “only by a few per cent� and not the 20 per cent cut a White Rock orthopedic surgeon claimed last week.

Dr. Arno Smit, chief of surgery at Peace Arch Hospital, told Black Press a waiting list crisis is coming unless the health authority reverses the cuts and authorizes more use of unused operating rooms.

Blair said he’s hopeful Fraser will soon be granted a budget increase allowing more surgeries, but said the curtailed surgical pace is continuing for now.

It’s not a budget cut, he said, but a reduction in actual surgeries performed to bring OR spending back down to budgeted levels. “We realized we were spending money faster than we could,� Blair said of the overspending in the first two months of the year. “We did need to make a significant reduction.�

The department has since finished the fiscal year at the end of March within its budget.

Asked if averting a deficit has driven up wait times, Blair said he hasn’t yet seen any clear evidence of that yet.

But surgical wait time data reported by the provincial government shows patients at most hospitals in Fraser are already waiting considerably longer than those near Vancouver or most other parts of B.C. The two benchmarks the province uses to gauge surgical waits is how long it takes to complete 50 per cent of cases and 90 per cent of cases in each hospital, specialty or region.

For the first three months of 2014 until March 31, Fraser completed half its surgeries within 6.4 weeks – the other half of patients waited longer than that – compared to 5.1 weeks at Vancouver Coastal and

#200-5450 152nd St, Surrey

6.0 weeks for the B.C. average.

Ninety per cent of surgeries performed in those months at Fraser waited less than 31.3 weeks (10 per cent waited longer), compared to 23 weeks for Vancouver Coastal and 28.3 weeks for the provincial average.

That indicates patients in Fraser waited 25 to 35 per cent longer than in Vancouver Coastal in January to March, even though two of those three months saw Fraser’s ORs running over-budget before being curtailed. “All of us have to be concerned about that,�

Blair said of the wait time disparity.

He cited population growth as the main challenge making it difficult to meet wait time targets. “We’re the fastestgrowing health authority in British Columbia – 1,200 people a month are moving into Surrey alone,� Blair said. “We’ve got the highest birth rate and a high rate of people moving in as retirees into

places like White Rock.�

He noted surgical waits vary by hospital, by specialty and by individual doctor.

The Lower Mainland hospitals with the worst surgical waits in the first three months of the year were Burnaby Hospital at 47.7 weeks to reach the 90 per cent completion mark, Abbotsford Regional at 39.2 weeks, 36.9 weeks for Langley Memorial, 36.7 weeks

for B.C. Children’s, 35.7 weeks for Peace Arch and 35 weeks for Surrey Memorial.

As of March 31, Fraser hospitals had 20,233 patients awaiting surgeries, compared to 17,389 at Vancouver Coastal.

A report released in February by B.C.’s auditor general showed Fraser Health has the lowest per capita funding per year in B.C. at $1,585 (in 2011-12)

Barrister & Solicitor

e take our modern roads and highways for granted, especially in the temperate zones where winter’s freeze-up—Sub-arctic Yellowknife, for example— or summer’s toast-up—Phoenix, Arizona or Palm Springs, California for example—aren’t off the charts. But this does not mean seasonal conditions and seasonal variation have no effect on temperate zone roads. Just that modern road building materials and techniques are cleverly engineered to withstand natural challenges and that ongoing maintenance and ongoing upgrading have produced an infrastructure that is the essential circulatory system of modern life and culture both in our cities and in our increasingly linked-up rural surrounds.

When a section of road or highway is out of sync with the demands of this circulatory system or falls below the standard of the rest of the system, its inadequacy becomes apparent relatively quickly and ‘fixing’ it generally becomes (or should become) a government priority. Road fixing has not generally been a highly political matter, although, if involving a costly major highway or bridge development, it can be.

In challenging economic times, government intervention in the economy in the form of ‘make-work’ type projects has often included roadwork projects or at least moved them to the top of the priority list.

There are many examples of cities and towns across North America that have not only survived depressions and recessions because

of road work projects, but that have come out the other side with more and better road systems that in turn help support and indeed ‘drive’ the upturn in the economic life of their communities.

Nowadays, of course, adding roads or upgrading highway systems are challenged as a cause of and not a cure for traffic congestion.

“If you build it, they [the cars] will come” is the view of this constituency.

Since the industrial revolution, bridges that wash out or fall down and roads that sink or slide or disappear under landslides, far from revealing the hand of fate working in human affairs have been considered engineering catastrophes. But nowadays we are increasingly disinclined to claim an unassailable ability to shape the landscape as we see fit.

Our first reaction to highway and road system destruction attendant upon severe weather conditions may be to search for meteorological abnormality rather than sub-standard engineering practices. This is not indicative, however, of greater humility, but rather the reverse. Human activity is suggested by some to be a distorter of global temperatures and hence weather patterns.

In any case, engineering standards must necessarily be improved and adjusted based on experience. This is not to be glib about the destructive impact of severe weather.

Recently on the news was video clip of a row of parked cars in Baltimore falling slowly into a block long sinkhole after a major storm dumped two days of rain on the east coast of the US. The accompanying sound track caught the fearful reaction of bystanders watching the amazing spectacle. Images of our expertly built and maintained roads opening up and swallowing whole everything on them should be cause to reflect. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B.

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.

Businesses aim to thwart new recycling agency

by Jeff Nagel BUSINESS opponents

of Multi Material BC are planning a court challenge to reverse the takeover of B.C.’s curbside recycling system by the stewardship agency.

They continue to urge the provincial government to freeze the new MMBC system before it takes effect May 19, but are also laying the groundwork for a legal battle.

Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farm supply stores, is urging other businesses to sign and submit their

MMBC contract but then give notice to the government that they won’t pay fees or otherwise cooperate with the new system to collect packaging and printed paper.

McCulloch intends to gather opt-out letters from numerous businesses across B.C. and deliver them to the province.

If the MMBC rollout continues, he said, they will argue in court that the MMBC contracts were invalid and they were coerced to join the government-created

MMBC: It’s voluntary, says province From page 15

recycling monopoly.

“We’re fairly confident at this point it will be struck down,” McCulloch said. “No company in their right mind would sign that contract of their own free will.”

The province contends MMBC is voluntary and various industries could instead form their own separate waste-collecting organization.

That option is not practical or reasonable, McCulloch said.

“The suggestion that we are able to launch our own stewardship program independent of MMBC is a sham.”

The MMBC program aims to transfer recycling costs from municipal taxpayers to the producers who generate packaging and printed paper, while collecting more containers and material types than before.

But many businesses argue they’re unfairly compelled to pay far higher fees than a similar system run in Ontario.

Critics say MMBC’s three-member interim board is controlled by executives with multinational firms like Unilever and Proctor and Gamble who have manipulated the launch of the new program to their benefit rather than the interests of most B.C. businesses.

Polak said she expects a more representative 15-member permanent board to be named soon after MMBC’s launch.

Polak said it’s logical the biggest industries that pay the most into MMBC get a large role.

A new advisory council was also recently unveiled by MMBC with reps from several B.C. business groups, but critics say it has no real power.

Pausing the program and the payment of fees by member businesses would cut off the money MMBC will send to most local cities that agreed to continue curbside pickup.

“Any delay in implementation for those communities would mean a loss of that savings,” Polak said, adding many municipalities have already budgeted to receive promised MMBC payments.

She said examples of those amounts are $1.5 million a year coming to Richmond and $917,000 to Nanaimo.

Mike Klassen, B.C. director of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, said he’s not aware of any cities reducing their property taxes as a result of the expected MMBC savings.

“That’s one of the things that’s been most misleading – the idea that this was going to save money for the general taxpayer,” he said.

Small businesses with single storefronts have been exempted from MMBC’s requirements.

Living in Harmony in Richmond with Townline

By Kerry Vital

Incredible value, an amazing location and gorgeous homes combine in perfect balance at Harmony, a condominium project in Richmond from Townline Homes.

“One of the major selling features of Harmony is its extremely central location,” says Chris Colbeck, vice-president of sales and marketing for Townline. “Owners will be within easy walking distance of Richmond Centre, dozens of

restaurants, elementary and secondary schools, several parks, and the Brighouse SkyTrain Station. Yet, we’re off the flight path and away from heavy traffic, so it’s more peaceful and less congested.”

The interiors are luxurious in their own right, with beautiful kitchens featuring stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and square-edge flat-panel cabinetry, and relaxing bathrooms with an oversized soaker tub and hand-set large-format polished porcelain floor tiles.

Homeowners will have several amenities on-site, including a 15,000-square-foot landscaped rooftop with a trellised zen garden, children’s play area, barbecue area and gated dog run, among many other things. Other amenities include a lounge with kitchenette, a games area and a fitness room.

For more information, visit www.harmonyrichmond, stop by the discovery centre at 7180 No. 3 Road or call 604-278-3939.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

StreetSide Developments’ South Point Walk will be just steps from South Point Exchange and High Street, making it extremely convenient. Among the beautiful features in the homes are wide-plank laminate flooring, stainless-steel appliances and recessed pot lighting in the kitchen.

Beauty and convenience at South Point Walk

By Kerry Vital

Curb appeal and a fantastic neighbourhood are just two of the many reasons why South Point Walk, built by StreetSide Developments, is garnering serious buzz in South Surrey.

“This is such a great, unique location,” says Vanessa Isler, marketing and sales manager for Streetside, a division of Qualico. “It’s an urban feel in a suburban location.”

South Point Walk is just steps from shopping and dining at South Point Exchange, as well as the boutiques at High Street.

“There will be a walking path directly from South Point Walk to High Street,” says Isler.

Homeowners will also have easy access to the U.S. border and Highway 99. Schools, golf courses and other leisure and recreation opportunities are also just minutes away.

The convenient location is artfully woven into a beautifully landscaped enclave.

“There’s a lot of accessibility here,” Isler says. “It’s a nice balance.”

The first phase at South Point Walk will include 42 condominium homes, ranging

from 689 to 1,090 square feet. Every home includes a dedicated home office or flex/work space. Buyers will be able to take possession of their new home in November. The second phase, with 76 condos and 30 townhomes, will be released later.

The exterior is distinctive and welcoming, with West Coast contemporary architecture featuring bold roof lines, cedar shingles, arched brick accents and large timber brackets, and large balconies. Ground floor homes have spacious patios and direct access to green space.

“StreetSide, working with Gannon Ross Designs, has really gone above and beyond on the finishings,” says Isler. “There are nine-foot ceilings on all four floors; usually you would only see them on the ground or top floor homes. They really add to the airiness of the space.”

A gourmet kitchen features classic shakerstyle cabinetry and a solid eased square-edge Quartzite countertop with a full-height ceramic tile backsplash. Stainless-steel appliances are complemented by a custom backsplash accent behind the range in either solid slab granite or marble mosaic tile. The custom-designed kitchen island in some homes is a masterstroke of convenience, and recessed pot lighting and undercabinet task lighting perfectly illuminates the space.

Wide-plank laminate flooring is included throughout the main living areas, with lush

cut and loop carpeting in the bedrooms.

Bathrooms are straight out of a spa, with solid slab granite or Quartzite countertops and undermount basin sinks. The ensuite features contemporary flat panel cabinetry, infloor heating and a hand-set ceramic tile tub or shower surround with marble tile accent.

The second bathroom, where applicable, has shaker-style cabinetry and a deep soaker tub.

Homeowners at South Point Walk will have the use of a community garden, outdoor barbecue area and a trellised seating area with gas firepit. Inside, amenities include a fitness room and a social lounge with kitchenette.

Homes start at $233,900. For more information, visit www.southpointwalk. ca, call 604-560-3238 or email sales@ southpointwalk.ca.

Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaverdell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton.

“Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not.

First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet.

There was one other little challenge. The panel failed so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out what speed we were doing then shout at the top of my voice when George exceeded the posted limit.

We made it safe and sound.

“Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.” keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Question OF THE WEEK: Driveway editor Keith Morgan writes today about how a 3-day rally along picturesque B.C. roads turned him to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’. Will you do a road trip holiday though B.C. this year, and if so where to?

You’ve got your license, you’ve got your proper gear, now all you need is your motorcycle.

Here are a few things to consider before signing on the dotted line.

Budget Establishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride.

If you’re buying used, this is particularly important.

You might be tempted to spend an extra couple of thousand on the bike of your dreams. But if the dream bike just happens to be a nightmare and costs you an unanticipated fortune on repairs, you might find yourself in a pickle.

New or Used?

There are differing benefits to buying new or used. New bikes have warranties, but a used bike that might not be too old could still have one. Is buying either way better than the other? Not necessarily. Buying used you could get a more upscale model for your budget.

Private Sale or from a Dealership?

Speaking from experience, buying through a private sale can be a good way to go, especially on a budget. I found my bike on Craigslist.

But if you can’t pay cash up front, dealers generally have financing or payment plan options. Private sales don’t.

Dealers also have most likely done a tune-up or some service in preparing the bike for the sale.

Check the VIN through ICBC or a Trusted Database It might cost you a few extra dollars to run a bike’s VIN through a trusted database but can save you multiple headaches in the end.

It will show if the bike has been in any reported accidents and detail the damage. It’ll also show if there is money owing on the bike or if it was reported stolen. Keep in mind, if the bike is from out of the country, the record likely won’t show.

When I went to buy my first bike, I had my heart set on a beautiful Yamaha R6.

It looked brand new and perfect. The seller said it had never been in any accidents and had all original parts. I continued on page 32

He didn’t want anything higher than a 250cc though.

I asked him why. He said he wanted something manageable for his first bike.

With long arms and legs, a 250cc bike wasn’t going to fit him! Or vice versa. I told him to look at cruisers, like the Harley-Davidson Sportster, Honda Shadow, Suzuki Boulevard S40, Yamaha Bolt. They might have a higher displacement but they’re going to be easy to manage and work much

Private sellers will generally ride the bike down to a location of your choice and let the mechanic work their magic. The mechanic will then let you know what things might need to be worked on in the near or distant future. If the seller thinks it’s too much work, then it’s your call if you want to continue to work with them. I wouldn’t buy a bike without knowing what I’m getting into.

Equal payout in Superweek NEARLY NEIL’S MOTHER’S DAY SHOW! THIS SATURDAY MAY10TH

Men, women compete for same prize money

Absolute

ASH! Entertainment WIN C

by Rick Kupchuk

Proudly Presents:

MORE PRIZE money

and an equal payout to male and female races is coming to BC Superweek.

Prize money for the nine-race series, to run July 4-13 this summer, has been increased by $10,000 to a total of $120,000.

Money paid to the top three cyclists in women’s competition and the top three in the men will be the same.

BC Superweek runs from July 4-13, and is made up of the Tour de Delta (July 4-6), UBC Grand Prix (July 8), Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix (July 9), Giro di Burnaby (July 10) and the Tour de White Rock (July 11-13).

“Inequality between men’s and women’s cycling is a hot button issue these days,” said Lex Albrecht of Montreal, a member of the TWENTY16 Pro Cycling Team and a winner in Delta and White Rock last summer. “In most cases, the gap between prize money offered to men and women is exceptionally, and unjustly significant.”

Albrecht is the defending women’s champion of the MK Delta Criterium and the Tour de White Rock. She finished first in the Homelife Realty Hill Climb and second in the Peace Arch News Road Race at the Tour de White Rock in 2013.

Cyclists will compete for $120,000 in prize money during Superweek, a cycling series that includes the Tour de Delta and the Tour de White Rock. decision to offer equal prize money to both men and women is to assist in elevating the sport.

“BC Superweek organizers have stepped up to offer equal prize money to the top three finishers of both fields, showing their support for gender equality - which is important not only in professional bike racing, but in all aspects of life,” Albrecht said in a press release. “I’m proud to see such a great event like this at home in Canada.”

“Equality in the sport is very important for us to foster,” said BC Superweek Race Director Mark Ernsting. “We couldn’t ignore the increase in women’s participation and quality of performance over the last two seasons – and equal prize money to the top three men’s and women’s podium finishers is a great step to continue to recognize the growth of women’s cycling.”

Road win for Chiefs PBL teams wins 8-6 in Abbotsford

by Rick Kupchuk

THE WHALLEY Chiefs are on a winning streak.

The B.C. Premier Baseball League team was on the road at Delair Park Tuesday night, where they outlasted the fourth-place Abbotsford Cardinals 8-6.

The Chiefs used a five-run sixth inning to build a 6-0 lead over the Cardinals, then withstood a rally from the home team before posting their third win in 10 starts.

Jordan Dray scored on an infield out

by Kimiya Matsuo to open the scoring in the fifth inning and give Whalley a 1-0 lead.

Taking advantage of five hits and a walk, the Chiefs added to their lead in the sixth. A single by Lucas Soper that scored Dray and Lichel Hirakawa-Kai was the big hit of the inning.

A two-run home run from Dray in the seventh inning was the margin of victory. The Cardinals scored twice in the bottom of the seventh before Chris DiFabio took over as pitcher, retiring the final two Abbotsford batters on strikeouts to earn the save.

Max Williams was the winning pitcher, allowing three earned runs on five hits and three walks in 5.1 innings pitched. He struck out six batters.

Dray was the offensive leader with a three-for-four effort at the plate with three runs batted in and three runs scored. Jacob Robazza and Colton Wright each had a pair of hits.

Now at 3-6 (won-lost) on the season, the Chiefs will host the 5-9 White Rock Tritons tonight (Thursday) at Whalley Stadium. The first pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m.

The North Delta Blue Jays continued to struggle, as they fell 9-2 to the Langley Blaze Tuesday night in Langley.

The Blaze, in first place in the 13-team league with a 14-1 record, built a 6-0 lead after three innings on their way to a 14th straight victory.

Tyler Hoefer scored the first North Delta run in the fourth inning, scoring from third base on a wild pitch. Dryden Rossiter crossed the plate for the second run when Curtis Hildenbrandt hit into an infield out.

Ryo Takenaka led the Blue Jays at the plate with a pair of singles in three at-bats. North Delta fell to 1-8 on the season, two games out of a playoff position.

The Blue Jays have a 12-day break from PBL play, but will face the Blaze when they resume play, hosting the league leaders for a double header on Sunday, May 18.

The way of

Surrey author Lorna Suzuki’s fantasy book is coming to the big screen

ifferent worlds can be daunting for strong, independent women.

Worlds can offer epic challenges, as well as opportunities to overcome almost impossible odds.

In one such world, a half-human, half-elf is shunned by both races while she battles evil armies with her samurai sword.

In another world, a largely unknown author of independently published epic adult fantasy novels is approached by major movie producers to put one (incidentally, about a halfhuman, half-elf) on the big screen.

The latter is what happened to Surrey’s Lorna Suzuki, a martial artist and writer who penned Imago Chronicles, the

stories of Nayla Treeborn’s epic journeys in action packed, character-driven fantasy world.

Fatigue, weight gain, poor memory/concentration, constipation, hair loss, dry skin, feeling cold – these are all symptoms of an underactive thyroid. There is a lot of controversy around whether the lab reference ranges for thyroid hormones are enough to guide treatment of hypothyroid. NOW Thyroid Energy is a natural supplement containing ashwagandha- a popular herbal supplement for a wide array of health conditions, including hypothyroidism.

Animal studies suggest that it increases endogenous production of T4. NOW Thyroid Energy also contains tyrosine (a precursor to T4), selenium and zinc (crucial components of the enzymes responsible for converting inactive thyroid hormone T4 into its active form T3), and guggul- an Ayurvedic herb that stimulates the conversion of T4 to T3.

NOW Thyroid Energy is available without a prescription, but this does not mean it cannot interact with your prescription drugs. Come in to one of our locations and chat with our knowledgeable pharmacists about your symptoms and medications, so we can work together to decide if this supplement is right for you!

She remembers the date because the previous day, she had a job, which was terminated, along with the jobs of the rest of management, at the Greater Vancouver Zoo. She went from educator to author literally overnight.

She wrote the sequel, Tales From the East, the following year.

That might have been the end of it, explains

Suzuki, but “people asked for a back-story.”

That in turn became A Warrior’s Tale, which, assuming a trilogy would be financially warranted, will be filmed first – to keep the stories chronological.

Suzuki says coming up with ideas for Nayla Treeborn wasn’t difficult.

In the meantime, Suzuki is an advisor to the screenwriters, and feels fairly confident about the process.

IN MEMORIAM GIFTS

In Loving Memory Irene & Bowman Allan Jose Da Silva Alves Ranvir (Ron) Atwal Sherrie Chapman Necdi Demir Tom Godwin Violet Gruber Amrit Mutti Diane Shaughnessy Angeline & Andre Verstraete Thank you to those who have chosen in April to honour their loved ones with a gift to Surrey Memorial Hospital and the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre.

604-588-3371 smhfoundation.com

PAUL, Della April 23, 1939 - May 1, 2014 It is with immense sadness that we announce the passing of Della Arline Paul (nee McDell) – a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. Della passed away peacefully in her sleep at home.

Della will be sadly missed and lovingly remembered by her loving husband Doug (married 56 years), son Gord (Laura), daughter Jacqueline (Ken), four grandchildren, Brad and Randy (Gord) and Jack and Ryan (Jacqueline), her brother Byron, many nieces and nephews, and many friends.

Della was born in New Westminster to John (Jock) McDell and Zilda McDell who nurtured her wonderful sense of humour. She married her high school sweetheart, Doug, in 1959. After she attended hairdressing school they married and moved to Vancouver where Della worked at Crimpers and Doug at Woodwards.

They eventually moved to Delta and started a family. Motherhood came easy for Della – she thoroughly enjoyed it and the love flowed. After a transfer to Kamloops they moved to Surrey. The house was filled with Della’s chatter (yes, she talked to herself) and singing (“Knees up Mother Brown”, “Bonnie Wee Jeannie McCall”, “Northern Lights of Aberdeen”, “Have a Banana” and many more).

Della returned to work, after her children were grown, as a Teacher’s Aid with the Surrey School Board. She worked with disabled children. She became very attached to each child in her care. She loved this job which allowed her empathy, patience and love of children to shine.

Della loved to travel and, though afraid of flying, it never stopped her and Doug travelling to many destinations, often with their good friends, Bob & Kathleen Morrow. They enjoyed many cruises over the course of their retirement.

Della had been struggling with heart failure and COPD. She suffered a fall that resulted in two broken ribs a couple of nights before she passed.

Though she did have some pain, she was very happy and relieved to be home.

There will be a Celebration of Life to remember Della on Saturday, May 24, 2014 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. at Gord and Laura’s house at 10494 Glenwood Crescent East in Surrey. In lieu of flowers please wrap your arms around someone you love & tell them you love them. She did it all the time.

Will be in conjunction with the 3rd Annual Invitation Only Show & Shine. Registration & payment includes one gate admission per registered vehicle, per day. Vehicles remain in place for entire weekend (ie. no in and out)

You must pre-register, please

Actors rehearse Performing the Komagata Maru: Theatre and the Work of Memory, which takes the stage in Surrey May 9.

Finding understanding Performance explores the Komagata Maru incident

by Sheila Reynolds PERFORMING THE Komagata Maru: Theatre And

the Work of Memory comes to the Surrey Arts Centre stage May 9, exploring how and why the Komagata Maru incident has been remembered by Canadian Playwrights.

The event will explore three plays written about the incident by Canadian authors: Sadhu Binning and Surrey playwright Sukhwant Hundal’s “Sumundari Sher nal Takar” (which will be in Punjabi), Sharon Pollock’s “The Komagata Maru Incident” (in English), and Ajmer Rode’s “Komagata Maru” (in Punjabi). Surtitles will be shown for each, making the presentation entirely bilingual.

A single program will integrate sections of the three plays to explore how and why we remember

RENTALS 750

the Komagata Maru, and how the creative arts augment and enhance the traditional historical archive.

Students in the Department of Theatre and Film at UBC will perform short selections from Pollock’s play, while members of the Surrey-based theatre group Rangmanch Punjabi Theatre will perform selections from the two Punjabi plays.

The performance, as well as the ongoing art show Ruptures in Arrival at the Surrey Art Gallery, mark the 100-year anniversary of the Komagata Maru ship’s arrival off the coast of Vancouver. It was May 1914 when a ship carrying over 350 would-be immigrants from South Asia was turned away from Vancouver and its passengers refused entry to Canada.

Tickets ($10) for the May 9 play, are available at 604-501-5566 or tickets.surrey.ca
