SURREY COAL TERMINAL WILL LOAD SHIPS, NOT BARGES

▶ COST-CUTTING MOVE COMES AMID ‘CHALLENGING’ ECONOMICS JEFF NAGEL

Falling coal prices have spurred Fraser Surrey Docks to amend its proposal for a coal export terminal to load directly onto ships in the Fraser River rather than barges that would have required an extra handling step.

The barges were originally to have gone downriver and across the Strait of Georgia to Texada Island, where coal was to have been unloaded and reloaded to ocean-going ships.

CEO Jeff Scott said the change will significantly cut the project’s operating costs, although it means an increase to the originally estimated capital cost of $15 million.

There are no other changes to the project, which would haul four million tonnes of U.S. coal per year via one extra train per day on the BNSF rail line through White Rock and South Surrey. continued on page 4

Violent crime in Surrey soared by 40 per cent in the first quarter of this year over last, according to statistics just released by the Surrey RCMP. Police quarterly statistics released this week compare the first three months of this year to the same period in 2014.

Police note that the figures come from one quarter and can easily represent an anomaly because of a few bad guys being released from jail.

The year-end figures from last year showed a seven-per-cent increase in violent crime from 2013. continued on page 9

Final arguments wrapped up Friday in a court challenge of the federal government’s move to ban home growing of medical marijuana by doctor-approved users.

A win by pro-pot advocates would blow a big hole in the new federal system imposed last spring that outlawed previously legal home grows and tried to force all patients to buy only from new commercial producers. Those companies will have the exclusive right to grow and sell if Ottawa prevails.

Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy told Judge Michael Phelan the new system means much higher medical marijuana costs for thousands of users who until now have been able to grow their own and who have a court-enshrined right in Canada to reasonable access to their medicine.

“Reasonable access is required for all medical marijuana patients, not just those who can afford it,” Conroy said Thursday. “The government knew what they were doing was not going to be viable for every approved patient, but

only for some.”

The plaintiffs, who use homegrown marijuana to treat various illnesses, include Nanaimo resident Neil Allard and Mission resident Shawn Davey.

Surrey resident David Hebert had also legally grown pot on a federal permit for his severely ill wife, but now buys on the black market after they moved to a new home where a grow was no longer possible.

A temporary injunction allowed home and delegated growing to continue until the challenge of the new Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations (MMPR) could be heard in Federal Court.

There were 38,000 patients approved to use medical marijuana in Canada last year – half of them in B.C. – and Health Canada has estimated that number will top 400,000 within 10 years.

Conroy and Vancouver lawyer Kirk Tousaw argue the new MMPR system violates the constitutional right to life, liberty and security of the person because it either deprives some patients of the medicine they need but can’t afford at higher commercial prices, or else forces them to break the law and risk jail and property seizure to grow it themselves or

buy it on the black market.

Those who continue to grow significant numbers of plants illegally could face mandatory jail terms of at least six months, court was told, and potential loss of homes or property under provincial civil forfeiture provisions.

Tousaw said medically approved patients should have the right to grow their own pot, or have a caregiver do it for them “without the fear that they’re going to be arrested and convicted of criminal offences or have their property seized.”

Health Canada lawyers argued it’s illogical to let home growing continue under a hybrid two-tier system.

They say the named plaintiffs could afford to buy pot in the legal commercial system, where most strains sell for $5 to $8 a gram, but merely prefer not to.

“There is no constitutional right to cultivate marijuana,” the federal written argument states, adding the MMPR regulations are “a considered and valid policy choice that achieves legitimate health and public safety objectives, and does not impede patient’s reasonable access to medical marijuana.” continued on page 3

Warning issued over unlicensed Surrey dentist ALEX BROWNE

Fraser Health is warning that an unlicensed dentist in Surrey may have exposed patients to a risk of hepatitis B and C, HIV and other blood-borne infections.

The agency said an investigation by the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. (CDSBC) has found that Valentyn Uvarov has been providing dental treatments at 14275 62 Ave. without a valid license to practice dentistry.

Anyone who has received dental treatments from Uvarov is being advised to follow up with a health care provider, or call 8-1-1 to address any health concerns.

Fraser Health said concern over potential infectious disease transmission was triggered by CDSBC’s finding that infection prevention and control practices may not have been in place, exposing patients to non-sterile materials – including the possibility that anesthetic containers had been re-used.

▼ OTTAWA ARGUES PUBLIC IS AT RISK from page 2

Evidence brought by Ottawa centred around the risk of public harm, fires, mould, odour, crime and other problems from residential growing.

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis told the court those problems were widespread, but Tousaw dismissed his evidence as mainly focused on illegal grows, not legal ones.

An RCMP expert testified many legal medical pot gardens grow more plants than are allowed or necessary, with the surplus being sold in the black market.

Health Canada estimated it would cost $55 million a year if it attempted to inspect all legal medical grows annually, and argued that cost would soar with the continued “exponential” growth of authorized users.

Other aspects of federal policy were also under fire during the trial, including a 150-gram possession limit for medical pot.

Federal officials argue it’s a safety measure so users aren’t targeted for theft but they conceded there is no such limit for patients prescribed other drugs such as Oxycodone.

The limit is intended to allow a 30-day supply based on five grams used a day, but the court heard typical medical pot users consume 18 grams daily and can’t take an adequate supply on a long vacation as a result.

The Supreme Court of Canada is deliberating on a separate court challenge in which Tousaw and Conroy have argued the federal rule that new commercial producers sell only dried pot – not extracts, edibles and oils – is unconstitutional.

Plan to twin container port in Delta under fire ▶ ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT FILED FOR $2-BILLION PROJECT JEFF NAGEL

Port Metro Vancouver’s plan to more than double the container-handling capacity of Deltaport by building a second terminal in the ocean is under fire after the filing of the environmental impact statement for the $2-billion expansion project.

Independent MLA Vicki Huntington (Delta South) predicts Roberts Bank Terminal 2 will further damage the sensitive Fraser River estuary, spur the industrialization of more prime agricultural land, and worsen road traffic already snarled by large numbers of container trucks.

Huntington said many of those impacts won’t be considered as part of the federal environmental assessment because of their distance from the immediate project footprint.

“That whole area of the Fraser estuary is considered one of the world’s most critical habitats,” Huntington said, adding she’s profoundly disappointed the port has decided to proceed.

“There is a time when society has to say ‘no, there are other values at stake here,’” she said. “The industrial activity on Roberts Bank is at is peak and can’t grow any further. Port, you’re just going to have to go elsewhere to do your business.”

The impact statement submitted by Port Metro Vancouver concludes there will be no adverse environmental impacts from the project that cannot be mitigated by creating or enhancing habitat near the site.

Huntington said those direct project impacts don’t consider other losses, such as the dozen rail sidings that would be created to accommodate trains on agricultural land, or other farmland that developers are already assembling for container-handling yards.

The extra capacity at Terminal 2 would be 2.4 million standard containers a year, more than twice as much as the nearly two million Deltaport can now handle.

The total Vancouver-area container capacity is expected to grow from nearly four million now to five million by the mid-2020s ▶ “That whole when Terminal 2 would come on stream, increasing total capacity area of the by another 50 per cent.

Construction would add $1 billion in local wages and the operations would add 1,500 terminal jobs and support nearly 11,000 more elsewhere.

The project will double the number of trains moving on the Roberts Bank rail corridor to eight on an average day, or 10 on a peak day.

The impact statement says it would add 3,700 truck trips on the average day, or 5,100 on a peak day.

But Port Metro Vancouver infrastruc-

ture vice-president Cliff Stewart suggested in an interview the project doesn’t necessarily mean more severe road congestion.

“There are currently a lot more container trucks on the road than need to be or ought to be there,” he said, adding the port is exploring various strategies to improve efficiency.

“It’s entirely possible that you could double the throughput of the port without increasing the number of trucks.

We’re not suggesting that’s absolutely going to happen. But I think that’s a plausible target.”

Stewart noted container terminals began running a second shift at night last year.

“It’s entirely possible that in 2030 we’ll have no more trucks running around at any particular point in the day than are today.”

Stewart defended the port’s updated estimates of future demand, adding the project is based on container shipment growth averaging four per cent a year.

Expansions are already underway or planned at other local ports, and at Prince Rupert, but more capacity will still be needed, he said.

“We’re running out of room to manage the growth of Canadian trade with Asia,” he said.

“We’ve looked at all the existing and feasible capacity on the west coast and, frankly, we’re going to run out in the early 2020s.”

Stewart said the port considered but ruled out increased use of Fraser Surrey Docks once the Massey Tunnel is replaced, allowing heavier ships to head upriver.

He said container ships are increasingly too big for the river.

Even once the tunnel is removed, he noted, many of those ships

would be too long to turn around on the Fraser.

“We think by the end of this decade there will probably be no container traffic on the river at all.”

The federal environmental assessment for Terminal 2 is expected to take two to three years.

The project, to be financed by the port and a yet-to-be-chosen private terminal operator, would take more than five years to build, starting in 2018, subject to approvals and a final investment decision.

“The price of coal has been continually dropping and is challenging in this current market,” Scott said. “This allows us to provide a more economically suitable proposal in the near term.”

Pressed as to whether the rationale for the project is waning altogether, Scott insisted he’s confident it remains viable.

“The economics are better under this solution, especially during the short term.”

Scott denied the decision was motivated by environmental concerns about coal dust wafting from open barges carrying coal down the river.

Under the new plan, coal will go directly into the hold of each docked ship, Scott said, adding there is no plan to stockpile coal at the facility.

The change would mean 80 ships docking and hauling coal out each year instead of 640 barge loads.

The ships will be the Panamax-size cargo ships of up to 320 metres in length that now ply the lower Fraser.

Instead of 50 jobs associated with the project split between Surrey and Texada Island, Scott now estimates there will be 40-45 jobs just at Surrey.

Fraser Surrey Docks is requesting public feedback until May 19 on what new studies it should undertake or revise in light of its intent to seek an amendment to the project approval granted by Port Metro Vancouver last August.

Climate change activist Kevin Washbrook called it “a kind of victory” that the operation would no longer run open barges of coal down the Fraser with questionable safeguards against discharges to the environment.

“The weakest link in this plan and the vaguest part of it all along was the shipping of coal by barge on the Fraser and across the strait,” he said.

“But is this a bit of a bait and switch? We’ve gone from a coal transfer facility to a full fledged coal port on the Fraser River near homes in Surrey and across from downtown New Westminster.”

Washbrook also questioned how the coal port would deal with backed up incoming coal trains if there’s a delay in ships being able to dock.

He called on Port Metro Vancouver to restart its approval process for the project with better engagement of the public, local governments and health authorities that have been critical of it in the past.

A series of court cases involving the project are pending.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday M ay 6 2015

Fighting for electoral control The provincial government and the courts are doing their best to keep participation in elections under strict control.

The two big political parties, the B.C. Liberals and NDP, are behind proposed legislation that would give political parties a complete list of everyone who voted in a provincial election. The information would not be made available to independent candidates or even incumbent MLAs like Delta independent Vicki Huntington.

This is nothing more than an assault on privacy. In some ways, it is an attempt to use sophisticated technological means to go back to the era when people had to cast their votes in public.

Thankfully, Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, Huntington and the privacy commissioner are standing against this. The effort to coerce Elections BC to hand over this private information to political parties must fail.

Meanwhile, the B.C. Court of Appeal has backed provincial legislation which states that

groups or individuals must register with Elections BC if they plan to say or distribute anything that might be considered election advertising during an election period.

The court’s decision, by a 2-1 margin, goes against the recommendations of the chief electoral officer, who said in both 2010 and 2014 that there was no problem in not registering those who spend a small amount in placing advertising during an election, say $500 or $1,000. The federal government does not require registration if individuals or groups spend less than $500. In Alberta, that limit is $1,000.

Elections are the one time when citizens have the power to bring politicians to heel.

They should be freewheeling affairs – not a stage-managed series of photo-ops.

While there is a need for some spending limits during campaigns, particularly by parties and candidates, it is

RAESIDE

highly unlikely that spending $1,000 by either an individual or group will sway the outcome of an election in a given riding.

Vincent Gogolek, executive director of the B.C. Freedom of Information and Privacy Association, says the court decision is an assault on freedom of expression. His organization launched the court challenge to try and overthrow the requirement to register with Elections BC on constitutional grounds.

The maximum penalty for not registering is a $10,000 fine and a year in jail. The law says it applies to “an advertising message that takes a position on an issue with which a registered political party or candidate is associated.”

That could be virtually anything and could apply to a hand-written sign in the back of someone’s pick-up.

This law is far too restrictive and needs to be repealed.

Time for teachers to question union BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

After the first few glum lines of his speech, it was difficult to tell anything had changed for B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker as he took his familiar place before the TV cameras last week.

Iker droned on about how B.C. schools are under-funded by hundreds of millions of dollars, echoing demands from the disastrous strike he led the union membership into last year.

The B.C. Court of Appeal had just overturned a bizarre trial court decision that tried to give the union everything it wanted: a trip back in time to the NDP wonderland of 2001, a constitutional spanking for the B.C. Liberal government and a $2-million bonus of taxpayers’ money.

The BCTF must now pay back that $2 million and scrape up whatever is left of its members’ compulsory dues to plead for an appeal at the Supreme Court of Canada, continuing the executive’s self-righteous fantasy of controlling education spending in B.C.

The Appeal Court didn’t just overturn the judgment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin. It shredded her legal reasoning and bluntly corrected her, over and over, on evidence she ignored or misinterpreted.

The Appeal Court confirmed at great length what I said when Griffin’s second decision came down in early 2014: it was far worse for B.C. schools than when judges decided in 2005 that teachers can bring union propaganda into classrooms.

Did the government bargain in bad faith? No. Did they conspire to provoke a strike? No. Did they illegally strip working conditions from the teacher contract? No. Turns out our kids are not just “working conditions” for teachers, and public policy still matters.

And it turns out that making special needs assistants dash between classes to deal with two kids here and three over there was a lousy idea. Now there’s even a credit course offered in high school for students with learning difficulties, which probably has some BCTF minion crafting

a pile of grievances about segregation.

In the negotiated settlement reached last fall, teachers shared $105 million to make thousands of baseless grievances go away, after the union filed one for student numbers in every class in the province. This bloated perpetual protest machine drains the public purse in more ways than taxpayers realize.

Parents understand the strikes, though. They remember a union that scrapped report cards, disrupted administration and forced schools to shut down at graduation time.

The strike then dragged into the fall, as the government held the line on public service spending. And what was the key issue that kept schools closed? It wasn’t special needs support, where student performance has continued to improve.

No, it was the BCTF demanding a raise twice as big as other public sector unions had already accepted.

In the end, their paltry strike fund long

gone, the union grudgingly accepted the going rate. They figured they had the elected government on the run in court.

Wrong again.

Next up for the ministry is taking control of professional development. A bill before the legislature will enforce standards, once the NDP is done denouncing it. Singing Solidarity Forever around a campfire and calling it paid professional development (a real example, by the way) will soon go the way of the union-controlled College of Teachers – onto the scrap heap of history.

There are BCTF members who understand how ill-served they are by their union. They are looking critically at the performance of their leaders, who are too often distracted by grandiose “social justice” campaigns as far away as the Middle East.

Bad tenants partly to blame ▼ CRIME COMES WITH PROLIFERATION OF SECONDARY SUITES With media attention currently focused on how Surrey’s streets resemble shooting galleries, it’s easy to forget that our neighbourhoods are also plagued by property crimes.

Thanks to over-development, there are now many homes in Surrey with legal or illegal secondary suites as well as empty houses awaiting redevelopment.

Often homeowners fail to vet prospective tenants adequately and thus inadvertently rent to active criminals who victimize our neighbourhoods like a spreading cancer, using their rental suites as a base of operations for burglaries, auto

thefts and drug dealing.

What should be done?

First, the Residential Tenancy Branch must make it easier for landlords to evict potentially dangerous criminals, which can now take up to eight months.

Most importantly, Surrey’s crime-fighting program, which is already partially financed by secondary suite fees, should expand to include additional RCMP strike force units that target prolific criminals living in our midst. Give these miscreants a new home in prison where they belong.

▼ RESTORE FUNDS FOR PREVENTION IN SCHOOLS Getting tough on crime means starting with crime prevention.

School counsellors, child care workers, youth workers, education assistants are already in our schools.

Restoring funding would be a great place for Christy Clark to help youth in our communities make better choices.

Letter writers argue that school funding cuts and overdevelopment in the city are contributing to the rise in crime. FILE PHOTO

I am very upset about what is happening in the Surrey School District.

The Surrey school board has suddenly announced a new policy that says any student who has graduated from somewhere else can no longer attend Invergarry Adult Education Centre once they have completed the English foundation program and want to take academic courses required for high school graduation.

The decision was made on Thursday, April 23 and announced to students and teachers the next day.

Everyone in our school was shocked. The new rule went into effect immediately. We were told to go to Kwantlen Polytechnic University where each course is $550.

I’ve been attending Invergarry for a year now, which has been very beneficial to me and I don’t want to change schools. I don’t mind paying for academic courses, but I want to take them at Invergarry.

Why can’t the Surrey school board follow other school districts and allow graduated students to stay in Invergarry and pay for their academic courses there?

▶ R.R.B. SERVED TWO-THIRDS OF HIS PRISON SENTENCE FOR YEARS OF SEXUAL ABUSE SHEILA REYNOLDS

A Surrey man who sexually assaulted his son’s friend for several years has been granted statutory release from prison after serving two-thirds of his four-year jail sentence.

The man, a father of three who can only be identified as R.R.B., was initially charged in 2011 with nine sex-related offences involving three alleged victims.

While he originally pleaded not guilty, in 2012, he pleaded guilty to one count of sexually assaulting a child. The other charges were stayed.

The sex offender has been identified many times in past media coverage, but an Appeal Court judge took the unusual step in a May 2014 decision of placing a ban on publishing his name.

It is standard to place a ban on any information that could identify a victim, but the judge said because the victim in this case is a friend of the offender’s son, it was best not to use anyone’s full name.

While R.R.B.’s full sentence expires in August 2016, statutory release is automatically granted to most offenders after they’ve served two-thirds of their sentence, unless it’s recommended by the Correctional Service of Canada that they be detained longer.

During the man’s trial, the court heard he began molesting the male victim when the child was in elementary school. It was January 2011, when the boy was 14, that his mom discovered sexually explicit text message exchanges between the teen and R.R.B. and contacted police.

“There are significant ▶ “I feel that victim concerns in your case and serious psychoI have missed logical harm is deemed to have occurred,” the Parole out on a Board of Canada wrote in childhood that its release decision dated April 10. “There are many was meant for victim impact statements me, not the in your file which speak to the damage you have tainted one I caused to your victim. experienced.”

Sexual offences against children have significant, ABUSE VICTIM long lasting and detrimental effects on children and their families.”

The teenage victim submitted a statement during sentencing saying the abuse has caused him to have difficulty trusting himself and others and he was striving to live a normal life.

“I feel that I have missed out on a childhood that was meant for me, not the tainted one I experienced,” he wrote.

The parole board’s release decision this month says R.R.B.’s risk to re-offend sexually is low and that he has completed programs while in prison, including the Institutional Maintenance Program for Sex Offenders. His release plan involves a continuation of “risk-relevant” programming and close supervision to ensure compliance with special conditions.

Those conditions include not having any direct or indirect contact with the victim or his family; not to be in the the presence of children under age 16 (except his own children) unless with an adult approved by his parole supervisor; not to be near places children under age 16 could be expected to gather, such as schools, parks and swimming pools; and not to seek work that puts him in a position of trust of anyone under age 16, as well as specific locations the victim’s family requested he not be near.

“The victim and the victim’s family is entitled to be free from unwanted contact from you…” reads the parole board decision.

R.R.B. must report to a parole officer, who may temporarily return him to prison if the officer believes the offender’s risk to society has become unmanageable.

▶ RCMP SAYS HANDFUL OF CRIMINALS CAN SKEW THE STATISTICS from page 1

However, the figures from this quarter paint a different picture, albeit over a shorter time.

The total number of violent crimes in Surrey from Jan. 1 to March 31, 2015 reached 1,732 incidents – up from 1,233 from this time last year.

Some of those violent crimes came by way of a number of reports of shots fired in March.

In addition, many of those files came from street-level type crimes such as assault (up 29 per cent), abduction and/or kidnapping (up 175 per cent) and robbery (up 14 per cent).

Some of those abductions occurred as domestic calls, where a mother or father took off with a child. Others are disputes between drug dealers and their buyers.

Sex assault also climbed from 39 to 57 over the same periods, an increase of 46 per cent.

It’s important to note that sex assault often becomes classified as a different crime or is dropped altogether, so last year’s adjusted figures aren’t always a fair comparison to this year’s numbers.

There was one more homicide so far this year in comparison to last year, bringing the murder toll to two so far this year.

Surrey RCMP Sgt. Dale Carr said that a few criminals can skew the statistics, particularly the quarterly figures.

“Sometimes, a high number of violent crimes can be committed by a small number of individuals,” said Carr.

“They can cause us a lot of grief until they are captured and put where they belong.”

Other crimes that also climbed over last year were arson (up 146 per cent), prostitution (up 45 per cent), causing a disturbance (up 51 per cent) and breach or bail violation (up 31 per cent).

The good news for police and Surrey residents is that property crimes are down by five per cent.

The biggest drop was in business break-and-enters, which plummeted by 321 from last year’s 436 – a drop of 115, or 26 per cent.

Carr said the decrease is a result of police focusing on high-risk property crime locations where they’ve apprehended repeat offenders.

Residential break-andenters remained exactly the same at 532.

And while theft of motor vehicles jumped by five per cent, theft from vehicles dropped by 14 per cent.

Fraud and identity theft were also down significantly (26 per

cent and 17 per cent, respectively).

Overall, crime climbed by seven per cent in the first three months when compared to the same period last year.

It’s the first time in a while that Newton has

shown better trends than many other areas of the city.

Violent crime in Newton was up by 36 per cent, the second-lowest climb of the Surrey RCMP’s five districts.

The only area with a

These stunning

lower increase was Cloverdale-Port Kells, which saw a bump in violent crime of 28 per cent.

Violent crime rose more significantly in Whalley (up 44 per cent), Guildford (up 45 per cent) and South Surrey,

which led the climb at 47 per cent.

Overall numbers of violent crimes are higher in Newton, Whalley and Guildford, but the percentage climb in South Surrey is new.

Overall, crime was up

24 per cent in Whalley, 18 per cent in Cloverdale-Port Kells and one per cent in Guildford-Fleetwood.

Both Newton and South Surrey saw drops in overall crime by two per cent.

class with personalized learning plans were unduly restrictive.

The NDP government of the late 1990s negotiated a settlement where the BCTF gave up salary increases in exchange for class size caps, specialist teacher levels and limits on the number of designated special needs students in each class.

The appeal court decision leaves in place efforts by the government to settle the bitter dispute, including a provision in the current contract to pay $105 million to the union to retire thousands of grievances filed over class size and composition.

The six-year contract signed last fall after a lengthy strike also includes additional preparation time and a “learning improvement fund” to deal with special needs support.

The B.C. Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of the B.C. government on the long-running dispute with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation over the removal of class size and special needs support formulas from classrooms.

In a lengthy judgment released Thursday, four of five appeal court judges found that the province did not infringe on the constitutional rights of teachers to bargain working conditions. The Appeal Court pointed out numerous errors in the 2011 judgment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin, and overturned her order

that the government pay $2 million in damages, which has been paid to the union.

BCTF President Jim Iker said the decision is “very disappointing.” He announced that the union will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada in its bid to restore classroom rules the government removed from its contract in 2002.

“All teachers are looking for is workable and teachable classrooms,” Iker said.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the changes made to classroom organization in the disputed period have led to “dramatic improvements in student outcomes, particularly for students with special needs.”

The B.C. education ministry has argued that caps on class size and number of students in each

Shirley Bond said the government has made progress in the Skills for Jobs Blueprint, launched a year ago to redesign the B.C. education system from elementary to post-secondary to match education up with high-demand jobs in the future.

The additional funding of $727,500 is to provide 68 seats at Camosun College, 32 at College of New Caledonia, 32 at College of the Rockies, 16 at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, 16 at Nicola Valley Institute of Technology, 12 at North Island College, 40 at Northwest Community College, 32 at Okanagan College, 16 at Selkirk College, 30 at Thompson Rivers University, 16 at University of the Fraser Valley and 16 at Vancouver Island University.

Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson said the blueprint assigns 25 per cent of post-secondary funds to in-demand jobs, to fill positions left vacant by a wave of retirements in the coming decades.

New or expanded trades facilities are underway at Camosun College, Okanagan College and Nicola Valley.

According to the Industry Training Authority, more than 41,000 participants are now involved in an adult, youth or foundation trades program. Shane Simpson, the NDP’s critic for labour and skills, said the problem is not getting students started in trades, it is finding them apprenticeship places that put them on the job.

The delay, says district officials, is due to dry stream beds on the property and some additional federal paperwork related to management of the waterways.

It’s hoped the new school will relieve space constraints at overcrowded Lord Tweedsmuir and Clayton Heights Secondary schools.

Once construction begins, it will still take at least another two years to complete. The school is pegged to cost about $16.7 million and have space for about 1,200 students.

There are currently more than 6,000 students learning in portables because so many Surrey schools are over capacity.

“The longer we don’t get capital money, the worse it gets. It’s just not fair to our children,” McNally said, adding the portable classrooms are also extremely costly.

“Everywhere I go, I meet people who are just aghast when they find out we have to pay $4.1 million per year for these blinking portables in our district.”

While technically school district business, McNally says the city has a responsibility, too.

“If they’re going to keep approving these developments – and I’m not anti-development – they need to step up to the plate and understand what it’s doing to our schools and voice their concerns.”

The provincial government repeatedly defends its position, noting it’s spent about $300 million on capital projects, land and seismic upgrades in Surrey since 2001.

McNally says trustees appreciate what they’ve received but it’s simply not keeping up with the growth.

“Instead of looking back, let’s deal with the present. We can’t keep up. We need some help here,” she says.

A ‘Living wage’ in Metro Vancouver reaches $20.68 ▶ BARE-BONES FAMILY BUDGET COVERS BASIC NEEDS ONLY

parent, assuming a 35hour work week.

Main drivers of the recent increases include rising rents (a three-bedroom apartment now costs $1,375 a month, up from $1,300 in 2013) and child care expenses, which are up to $1,324 a month in part, the report says, because Metro school districts added an extra week to spring break in recent years to help control their costs.

It’s assumed one parent takes two post-secondary courses, making them eligible for TransLink’s U-Pass, which reduces the public transit expense from $124 to $37 a month for most of the year.

One parent is assumed to own and operate a used car, pushing the overall transportation expense to $517 a month.

The breakdown of the monthly costs in the calculation are: • Shelter: $1,563 including rent, utilities

The calculation, released Wednesday by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, estimates the pay required by both parents in a family of four working full-time for a no-frills life to support themselves and their children.

The estimate for Metro Vancouver is up 58 cents or 2.9 per cent from a year ago and has climbed nearly 24 per cent since 2008, when the living wage estimate was first established at $16.74 an hour.

It adds up to $37,638 a year pre-tax for each

and insurance.

• Child care: $1,324 for a four-year-old in full-time care and a seven-year-old in before- and after-school care, and full-time care during some holidays.

▶ “Families who work for low wages face impossible choices.”

REPORT

• Food: $783.

• Transportation: $517 for one used car and a discounted student transit pass.

• Clothing and footwear: $191.

• Medical Services Plan premiums: $144 • Non-MSP health care: $139 for extended health and dental private plan • Parents education: $91 for two college courses.

Not in the budget is any attempt at home ownership, savings for retirement or the children’s future education.

A coalition of groups urges Metro Vancouver employers to consider the calculation and pay wages that reflect the real cost of living in their communities.

Lower wages make working long hours at multiple jobs a requirement for many residents, the report said.

are responsible for one out of every three bites of food people eat. They forage for pollen and nectar in backyards, roadsides and farm hedgerows, but are now under threat from lack of habitat.

Delta’s Earthwise Society, in partnership with the Delta Chamber of Commerce, encourages residents to help “Feed the Bees” by stocking their gardens with pesticide-free plants that

BLACK PRESS

The days are getting warmer and the sound of bees buzzing in backyards has begun.

Bees and other pollinators are essential components of healthy ecosystems and

bloom from March through October. As long as bees are active, they need food.

To help gardeners make wise choices about what plants to choose, the Earthwise nursery is open daily from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., offering a variety of plants, grown from divisions from its ecological demonstration garden, and free from pesticides. Plants are grouped according to site conditions and habitat uses, with an

entire section devoted to bee-friendly plants On Saturday May 9, Earthwise Society will host its annual Bee Friendly Plant Sale from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. In addition to choosing from a wide selection of bee-friendly plants, visitors can get an up-close peek at a living beehive with resident beekeeper Janet Wilson.

A selection of bee garden starter kits will also be available, consisting of

seven perennials that will bloom in succession from spring until fall. Not only are these plants important sources of pollen and nectar for pollinators, they provide colourful flowers for gardens all year.

To help Earthwise Society increase its offerings of pesticide-free plants, organizers are looking for donations of perennial divisions. If you can help, contact info@ earthwisesociety.bc.ca for

further information. All proceeds from the plant sale go directly to the Feed the Bees program and other Earthwise educational programming.

The Earthwise Society’s farm and garden is located at 6400 3 Ave. in Boundary Bay. The farm store is open Wednesdays from 2-6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., selling fresh certified organic produce from the demonstration farm.

Public Comment Period Consideration to Amend Permit No. 2012 – 072 Direct Transfer Coal Facility May 4 – 19, 2015 Fraser Surrey Docks LP (FSD) is considering applying to amend its existing permit from Port Metro Vancouver (Permit No. 2012 – 072) that gives it conditional approval to build and operate a Direct Transfer Coal Facility within its existing lease area.

The proposed amendment would have no impact on the volume of coal permitted to be shipped through FSD (4 million metric tonnes per year). It would allow FSD to load coal directly from the facility to ocean-going vessels eliminating or reducing the number of barges required.

Please visit www.fsd.bc.ca/amendment to review the changes to the existing permit that FSD is considering and provide feedback on the proposed scope of the studies, which will assess the difference between the use of ocean-going vessels and barges.

Fraser Surrey Docks LP (FSD) is the largest employer on the Fraser River waterfront, with more than 300 full-time employees. FSD has been a major employer and contributor to local communities for over 50 years, handling over 3 billion dollars-worth of goods annually.

Vietnamese Spring Rolls Ingredients 6 Large oyster mushrooms or 12 raw large prawns 30g Dried rice vermicelli 20g Carrot 80g Cucumber 40g Red pepper 40g Bean sprouts 25g Spring Onion 6 Rice Paper wrappers Large sprig of mint leaves Large sprig of coriander (cilantro) leaves Method If using prawns then lightly poach in water for a few minutes until cooked through. Rinse under cold water and chill in fridge or lightly saute the oyster mushrooms in a pan with no oil until soft.

Chill in the fridge.

Place rice vermicelli in a large bowl or pan. Pour over boiling water and allow to soak for 5-10 mins until white in colour and cooked through.

Drain and rinse under cold water and then chill in fridge.

Prepare the vegetables. Peel and finely cut the carrot and cucumber into thin strips.

Deseed the cucumber. Julienne pepper and onion. Assemble all vegetable ingredients and fresh herbs on a plate. Once rice noodle and mushrooms are cool assembly may begin.

Pour near boiling water into a bowl and dip one rice paper wrapper in. It is ready when it stops being stiff and making a crinkly noise and becomes like a flexible piece of cloth – about 10-20 seconds. Use tongs to remove from the water.

Place soaked wrapper on a plate. Add 1/6th of

the fillings slightly off centre of the wrapper. .

As the wrapper is translucent add the most attractive things to of the filling first e.g prawns and herbs as they will be what you see.

Fold over the shorter side of the wrapper over the filling. Tuck the sides in to ensure the filling doesn’t fall out. Continue rolling until wrap covers the filling. The wrap will stick to itself and remain sealed.

Repeat with remaining wraps and serve with hoisin sauce or other favorite dipping sauce.

Vietnamese Spring Rolls Ingredients 6 Large oyster mushrooms or 12 raw large prawns 30g Dried rice vermicelli 20g Carrot 80g Cucumber 40g Red pepper 40g Bean sprouts 25g Spring Onion 6 Rice Paper wrappers Large sprig of mint leaves Large sprig of coriander (cilantro) leaves Method If using prawns then lightly poach in water for a few minutes until cooked through. Rinse under cold water and chill in fridge or lightly saute the oyster mushrooms in a pan with no oil until soft.

Chill in the fridge.

Place rice vermicelli in a large bowl or pan. Pour over boiling water and allow to soak for 5-10 mins until white in colour and cooked through.

Drain and rinse under cold water and then chill in fridge.

Prepare the vegetables. Peel and finely cut the carrot and cucumber into thin strips.

Deseed the cucumber. Julienne pepper and onion. Assemble all vegetable ingredients and fresh herbs on a plate. Once rice noodle and mushrooms are cool assembly may begin.

Pour near boiling water into a bowl and dip one rice paper wrapper in. It is ready when it stops being stiff and making a crinkly noise and becomes like a flexible piece of cloth – about 10-20 seconds. Use tongs to remove from the water.

Place soaked wrapper on a plate. Add 1/6th of

the fillings slightly off centre of the wrapper. .

As the wrapper is translucent add the most attractive things to of the filling first e.g prawns and herbs as they will be what you see.

Fold over the shorter side of the wrapper over the filling. Tuck the sides in to ensure the filling doesn’t fall out. Continue rolling until wrap covers the filling. The wrap will stick to itself and remain sealed.

Repeat with remaining wraps and serve with hoisin sauce or other favorite dipping sauce.

Oak Meadows Park Open House

STEPH TROUGHTON

Please join us for a Public Open House and help design your new park.

Clean technology may not yet be widely recognized, but the municipality of Surrey is already embracing the concept.

That’s according to Foresight Clean Tech Accelerator Centre Managing Director Neil Huff who, when looking to relocate his facility, did not have to look very far.

“Surrey was very pro-active about getting us to come here. They made sure it was easy for us to make the transition,” he says.

Clean technology is defined as products, pro-

Oak Meadows Park (preliminary name) is a new park site located in the Sunnyside Heights neighbourhood of South Surrey, between 22 and 23 Avenue east of 162 Street. This site will be developed as a neighbourhood park with opportunities for amenities such as pathways, viewpoints and picnicking areas.

Parks staff will be available to provide information about the project, receive community feedback and answer questions regarding potential plans. The information gathered at this meeting will help guide the design of the park.

Date and Location: Place: Sunnyside Elementary – Gym 2828 – 159 St., Surrey Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2015 Time: 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m

▶ LIVING COMPLEX WOULD BE LOCATED IN SURREY’S INNOVATION BOULEVARD BLACK PRESS

A $250-million, three-building development for seniors has been proposed for North Surrey.

Last week, the WestStone Group (WestStone) announced its

$ 2 2 ,0 0 0

Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC), BCIC, universities, and the private sector, provides clean technology businesses with guidance, training and funding to accelerate their growth and product commercialization activities.

Among those companies helped are Pyrowave, whose technology transforms material waste into renewable energy products on the spot, and Surrey-based International Material Recovery (IMR).

Last year, IMR initiated full production of its technology that involves recycling waste drywall into a form of gypsum that can then be sold to cement companies as a raw material in cement production.

IMR CEO Sam Gill

says he and his company’s founders chose Surrey for their business partly because of its reputation for assisting green businesses.

“Surrey has been very forward thinking and extremely helpful in getting us set up,” he says.

Although clean technology businesses can be “capital intensive” to get started, Gill explains they can and should be based on a profitable business model.

“You have to have a business model that makes money. You can’t just be altruistically green,” he says.

Gill is confident in two to three years, his business, which may be the only one of its kind in North America, will be showing a profit.

“Our business model works.”

cesses or services that reduce waste and require the use or extraction of as few non-renewable resources as possible.

A 2014 survey conducted by Cleantech Canada showed 55 per cent of those interviewed said cost savings or efficiencies were the top motivators when considering clean technology investments.

Competitive positioning ranked 31 per cent on the same motivational list.

Established two years ago, the centre, a Canadian not-for-profit company devoted to early-stage clean technology innovators, has already helped 25 companies locate in B.C. and Quebec.

Huff says his centre, which collaborates with the B.C. government,

plans to build Innovation Village on a newly acquired parcel of land located on King George Boulevard adjacent to Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH).

Situated in the area designated as Innovation Boulevard, and anchored by SMH and Simon Fraser University (SFU), Innovation Village would provide living space, health care technology and patient solutions for seniors.

The 5.1 acres (222,329 square feet) of land would consist of two six-storey buildings for seniors living independently, as well as a 12-storey medical building with complex care and assisted-living for seniors, a research centre and offices. All three buildings will provide almost 556,000 square feet of living and working space.

Office boom in Vancouver trouble for the suburbs ▶ MAYORS SAY DOWNTOWN GLUT UNDERMINES THEIR PLANS JEFF NAGEL

A glut of new office towers being built in Vancouver may spell trouble for surrounding cities hoping to attract more jobs in their town centres.

An estimated 2.2 million square feet of new office space is already under construction in downtown Vancouver – enough to satisfy two decades worth of office demand at current absorption rates – and another 2.4 million square feet is proposed, according to Andrew Petrozzi, research vice-president for Avison Young.

It’s the fastest office construction pace seen in Vancouver in decades, Petrozzi told Metro Vancouver’s regional planning committee Friday.

But Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan warned the Vancouver office tower boom has serious implications for the rest of the region.

“This massive increase in office space in downtown Vancouver is probably going to suck the air out of any aspirations there are within suburban communities to build up their

office space to create jobs closer to the residents in those areas,” he said.

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said it’s already a problem in his city – even before the newest Vancouver towers come on line.

SkyTrain will arrive in Coquitlam Centre in about 16 months when the Evergreen Line opens, plugging the area into an immense market of workers who could ride transit to offices there, just as transit carries office workers to towers near Sapperton Station in New Westminster and Gateway in Surrey.

But he said developers have so far shunned office buildings for condo towers.

“We can’t get a business tower – an office building – constructed because there’s simply too much oversupply downtown,” Stewart said.

“Then we hear millions of square feet are being built downtown.”

Instead of a two-way transit flow on the Evergreen Line, he said, it will be mainly one way out to jobs in Vancouver and elsewhere.

Stewart said Metro must grapple with the problem or else “we’ll end up with bedroom communities that

are highrises instead of the bedroom communities we had 50 years ago.”

One of the key goals of Metro Vancouver’s regional growth strategy is to build complete communities throughout the region where people can live and work, Corrigan said, adding an excessive concentration of office space in Vancouver undermines that strategy and is irresponsible.

“How do we get complete communities if all that growth is concentrated in the downtown core?” Corrigan asked.

“We’re going to compound an already problematic situation for municipalities around the Lower Mainland.”

Corrigan said the office increase in Vancouver has transportation implications as well, because “we keep sending people to the small end of the funnel.”

Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer responded that a few years earlier Vancouver was being slammed as irresponsible because too few office buildings were being built to accommodate future forecasts.

Metro planners say different types of tenants are typically interested in different parts of the region, so a diverse supply is good.

Covington claimed by Texans ▶ SURREY NATIVE SELECTED IN THE SIXTH ROUND OF THE NFL DRAFT RICK KUPCHUK

Playing NCAA football just 10 minutes away from NRG Stadium, home of the Houston Texans, Christian Covington had more than enough opportunity to impress the National Football League (NFL) team.

And he obviously made the most of it.

After three seasons with the Rice University Owls of the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association), the Surrey native was drafted by the Texans in the sixth round, 217th overall, of the NFL Draft Saturday afternoon.

“To have a team such as the Houston Texans, who are just right down the street, to be interested in this way, this is a dream come true for me,” Covington said during a conference call following his selection.

Covington was the lone Canadian to be drafted in the sev-

him. We think we know what he can add to our football team, so good pick for us, I think,” said Rick Smith, the Texans’ general manager and executive vice-president of football operations.

He played in 12 games as a freshman with the

Owls in 2012, and in 2013 was a Conference USA all-star while recording 59 tackles and four sacks on an Owls team which won the conference championship. In the 2014 season, a knee injury sidelined him for the final seven games of the season.

Covington brushed aside expectations of a six-month recovery, proclaiming himself healthy after a three month rehabilitation program.

“I’m fully recovered,” Covington said. “I know when I get back to Houston they will be re-evaluating my knee, but I’m ready to get the ball rolling.”

“We are very comfortable from a medical perspective with the knee,” Smith said. “Obviously, we’re versed on the procedure that he went through and feel good about where his rehab is. I had an opportunity to go over and work him out, so we felt comfortable with him.”

Covington and other rookies will report Friday to Houston for a three-day mini-camp with the Texans.

The Cloverdale

Surrey resident Rachel Proctor has been named to the 2015 Great Northwest Athletic Conference softball all-conference first team.

Proctor, in her third season playing outfield with the Simon Fraser University Clan, was the team leader in most offensive categories this past season. She led the team with a .354 batting average, five home runs, a .520 slugging percentage and a .415 on-base percentage.

Her totals of 25 runs batted in and 45 hits both ranked second on the team.

Simon Fraser finished its 2015 season with a 17-30 (won-loss) record and a 5-19 Great Northwest Athletic Conference mark.

UBC’s Ogilvie honoured by A.I.I. Lindsey Ogilvie is among four softball players from the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds to be honoured by the Association of Independent Institutions (AII).

Ogilvie, from Surrey, was named to the All-Conference Second Team as a utility player along with outfielder Katie Sherlock of Richmond. Shortstop Yas-

min Bains and infielder Shayla Kaplen were First Team selections.

As a pitcher, Ogilvie had 12 complete games in 18 starts, with a 7-11 won-loss record with a 408 earned run average.

At the plate, she was the third-leading hitter on the Thunderbirds with a .369 average.

She had three home runs, 19 runs batted in and a team-best 25 walks.

Local trio to join SFU soccer squad Three athletes from Surrey have signed National Letters of Intent to join the Simon Fraser University (SFU) Clan women’s soccer team for next season.

Forward Monpreet Heer and midfielder Samantha Donald from Vancouver Whitecaps Elite REX program are among nine players to commit to Simon Fraser for 2015. Tanis Cuthbert, also a midfielder and a member of Surrey United in the B.C. Soccer Premier League for four years, will also play with the Clan, the lone Canadian team in the NCAA (National Association of Collegiate Athletics).

Three members of the Whitecaps programs chose to attend SFU, all making their decisions independently.

“We all had opportunities to go to schools in the United States but we all wanted to play close to home,” said Donald. “We didn’t realize we had

all picked SFU for the same reasons until after we made our decisions.”

Zacharuk to join Cascades Holy Cross Regional High School student Brittney Zacharuk has committed to joining the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) Cascades women’s soccer team. The midfielder from Delta will join the Cascades for the 2015-16 Canada West season.

“We are so excited that Brittney is joining our program,” said Cascades head coach Rob Giesbrecht said. “She’s an intelligent soccer player, she’s technically advanced and has the ability to impact games from a variety of positions.

“I was thrilled when Brittney chose to come to UFV – every time I have seen her play since I get more excited about the impact she will have on our team.”

Gymnasts in the medals at Zone Three meet A pair of gymnasts from the Surrey Gymnastic Society won overall medals at the Zone Three (Fraser Valley) championships in Coquitlam.

The transformation of Tayla Jackson ▶ SURREY RESIDENT WINS BASKETBALL BC AWARD GARY AHUJA

A story from Grade 8 illustrates the confidence of Tayla Jackson.

The way Neil Brown tells it, Jackson — who was playing senior girls basketball despite being just 13-year-old — informed one of the province’s best players, W.J. Mouat’s Kayli Satori, that there was “a new sheriff in town.”

Jackson’s version differs slightly.

“I didn’t exactly say those words,” said Jackson, now a Grade 12 student at Brookswood Secondary.

“It was perceived different than how I intended.” “(Kayli) was so good and we were playing in a game, standing next to each other during a free throw,” explained Jackson, a Surrey resident.

“It came across bad.

I didn’t mean to come across as a cocky Grade 8; it was more that I looked up to her, I wanted to be like her and as good as she was when I was her age.”

On April 25, Jackson was named the most outstanding female high school basketball player by Basketball BC. “It’s such an honour and honestly, just the icing on the cake for me with my (high school) basketball career,” Jackson said. “I’m truly blessed with all of the opportunities that have come my way.”

While some players may join the senior squad in Grade 10, Jackson leaves the high

school ranks in pretty elite company having played five years of senior ball.

“Her height was the biggest thing,” Brown recalled about the decision to play up at such an early age.

“She was a tall, confident kid. Most young kids who are tall are not confident; they don’t want to be tall but she embraced being tall.”

While Jackson had height, she was still raw.

“I didn’t have a ton of skills,” she said. “I think I was more star struck, to be honest.

“You are used to playing with 12- and 13-year-olds who are scrawny, just like you.

And all of a sudden, you

are playing with these 18-year-olds; you are blown away by the gap and the jump you have made.”

Jackson did not dominate the competition.

“I got pushed around a little bit,” she admitted.

“You have to toughen up and step up to the plate.”

The following year, she became more aggressive on the court and in Grade 10, she really came into her own.

“I became that person that not a lot of people wanted to guard,” she said. “A little bit more beast-like. I started to get more aggressive and the more aggressive I

got, the more I loved it.”

“Some people bust their ass and by Grade 10, what you see is what you get,” Brown said. “Tayla has never maxed out her potential. Every year, she got better and better.”

In Jackson’s five years with the Bobcats — and even in the early years, she played a contributing role — the team has made the provincial tournament semifinals each season.

Brookswood placed fourth in her Grade 8 and 9 seasons and lost in the championship final in Grade 10. But the team has won back-toback provincial championships in each of the last two seasons with

Jackson earning first team all-star awards both times.

In both instances — the finals in 2014 and the semifinals in 2015 — Jackson was matched up in the post against Yearwood, a member of Basketball Canada’s national cadet team program who is off to the University of Oregon next season.

Brown told Jackson that if she could play Yearwood to a standstill, the ’Cats would prevail. And both times Jackson did better, out-playing her.

In the 2014 title game, Jackson was player of the game with 20 points, 23 rebounds and two blocked shots.

Yearwood had 20 points and nine blocks but just nine rebounds.

And this year, Jackson’s stat line read 16 points, 17 rebounds and two blocks compared to Yearwood’s 10, nine and one.

Jackson — who earlier this month took part in the B.C. high school senior girls all-star game at the Langley Events Centre — now readies for the next chapter as she is off on an athletic scholarship to the University of California Irvine next season to play at the NCAA Division 1 level.

Jackson hopes to become an elementary school teacher, and already helps out at

Brookswood, coaching younger players.

“I want them to see that if they work hard and put the time in, that they can seriously do anything they set their mind too,” she said about what example she can set for others.

“They can go anywhere they choose to go if the opportunities come their way from the hard work. And to have fun with it along the way and not take it too seriously.

“There is more to life than basketball but if you work hard enough, you can have basketball take you to great places in life. You need to be able to enjoy it as well.”

Losing That Which Matters Most Typically Dave does more at his job than the other employees. This matters to Dave. Following a car accident his doctor recommends a few weeks off. Dave takes a few days off. Months later, Dave is a good employee but often he is not the most productive. No big deal?

Dave’s sense of who is has been injured. He is unlikely to tell anyone. His wife may see changes but his doctor will report to ICBC that Dave is back at work, basically recovered. The system will conclude he is fine. Somewhere down the road reality will hit home when Dave can no longer run from the injuries.

There are lots of victims of collisions like Dave. Not all of them are the most productive – some of them have to do everything precisely right, while others are who everyone asks when they have a problem – but for each of them that part of them which makes up their identity can be taken from them by the injuries.

The Daves of the world tend not to complain and are among the last to hire a lawyer. Do you know a Dave? If so, he or she needs help. Soon.

Talk to a lawyer. Initial consultations are free and maybe it is not too late to take the steps to help.

Kevin Mitchell was a member of the team that represented Canada in water polo at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

He is the rehabilitation specialist and personal trainer at the new Injury Rehab Clinic in Surrey.

Kevin’s chief areas of interest are: (a) working to rehabilitate people injured in car accidents, Worksafe accidents and other types of accidents (b) working with athletes, whether they be medal contenders or weekend warriors (c) assisting ordinary people to reach their health and fitness goals

Kevin Mitchell knows a thing or two about self-improvement.

Mitchell, a kinesiologist, understands that it takes time to reach a goal – whether that goal is walking after recovering from a long term injury, or walking in the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games.

Self-improvement has been the running theme of Mitchell’s path through life - which started in Maple Ridge, but has twisted and turned to bring him all over the world as a member of the Canadian national water polo team, and eventually to the 2008 summer games in Bejing.

Though Canada had previously appeared in the Olympics, in ‘84 and ‘76, ‘08 was the first time the Canadian team had rightfully earned the chance to play with the rest of the world’s best water polo squads. In a sport dominated at the highest levels by a number of Eastern European

countries, the significance of Canada’s qualification was not lost on Mitchell.

At the time, it was a culmination of seven years Mitchell spent in Calgary, training twice a day, six days a week with the national team while attending classes at the University of Calgary.

“I remember watching the ‘96 Olympics in Atlanta, and thinking to myself “That’s where I want to be,” Mitchell recalled.

Looking at Mitchell, who retired from his playing career after 2008, it’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since he completed with the world’s best. Mitchell maintains a fit figure, which seems to fit his mantra of self-improvement in all areas of his life.

After retiring from competition after Bejing, Mitchell decided to continue his studies at the

University of the Fraser Valley, back home in British Columbia. Mitchell chose the field of kinesiology because of a commitment to “help others become their best, by employing my experiences which carried me to the Olympics,” he said.

Now working with up to 20 patients per day, some of whom have long term injuries from car accidents or sports, Mitchell said sport remains an integral part of his life.

“I’m using the lessons I learned through sport everyday - whether that’s goal setting, work ethic, or leadership - in the workplace,” said Mitchell.

And hey, there might not be anyone who understands that the road to a goal can often be long and difficult, better than Kevin Mitchell.

2015 Citizen of Year named ▶ MICHAEL WILSON RECOGNIZED FOR HIS WORK WITH PHOENIX SOCIETY KEVIN DIAKIW

Michael Wilson has been named the City of Surrey’s Citizen of the Year for 2015.

Wilson, perhaps best known as the brainchild behind the Phoenix Society Drug and Alcohol Recovery and Education Centre, was given the award at a ceremony last Wednesday.

The City of Surrey Citizen of the Year Award was established to honour commitment and dedication in making Surrey a better place to live.

“Michael Wilson has dedicated himself tirelessly for our city. Michael has been active in several professional groups, community committees and task forces on health, housing, crime reduction and education,” said Mayor Linda Hepner.

“His selfless dedication and the countless hours of volunteer work he has done for Surrey on so many different fronts have done much to enhance the health and wellness of our citizens and community.”

In addition to the leadership role

• The founder of the “The Red Shirts,” a

community volunteer program.

The Citizen of the Year award recipient is chosen by council and is presented to a Surrey resident who has given outstanding services for the betterment of the community.

▼ SURREY SENIOR IS 90 – BUT NOT OUT Frederick Alphonzo Wilson, a lively man of West Indian descent, turned 90 on Tuesday, May 5.

He is well-loved and respected in the local Caribbean community, and he was recently dubbed the “Black Prince” by one of his peers.

As a youngster, Wilson played his favourite game – cricket – in his schoolyard, (Wesley Hall Boys’ School) in St. Michael, Barbados, and later became a master cabinet maker after working as a sexton and verger (officer of the church).

He left Barbados by ship via Paris, France in August 1956 and landed at Liverpool, England 18 days later.

As many of his peers did in that era, Wilson studied psychiatric nursing in a hospital called the Retreat, and

qualified as a Registered Mental Nurse (or RMN, with the word “ mental “ later changed to “psychiatric”).

After hearing glowing reports about Vancouver, Wilson arrived in B.C. by boat and train and settled in Surrey.

He was accepted onto the staff at Riverview Hospital, then called Essondale.

Wilson later joined corrections in Abbotsford in 1962, then called RPC – the Regional Psychiatric Centre.

He also entered the social and sporting scene with gusto, with cricket being his primary interest.

Known as a “stock” bowler (similar to a relief pitcher in baseball), he once bowled five overs and took three wickets for two runs.

Later he performed a hat trick, which meant taking three wickets in as many balls.

A pioneer member of the Barbados Cultural Association of B.C., Wilson was honoured last November with a special plaque recognizing his service.

In addition to enjoying cricket, he is an avid kite flyer and has “flown” on beaches in Vancouver and Surrey, as well as Holland Park.

In 1975 he married a West Indian lass named Ina and he is a proud parent of Andy and Johan.

Apart from the above, Wilson is an accomplished painter and has displayed his work at many local functions.

A birthday party was held for him at the Caribbean Spoon, 6820 188 St., and on May 9 another get-together will take place at Holy Trinity Cathedral, 514 Carnarvon St. in New Westminster from 6-10 p.m.

Volunteer revved up to help ▶ AFTER 15 YEARS, 69-YEAR-OLD CHRIS FOX IS STILL GOING STRONG IN SURREY HIGH SCHOOL’S AUTO SHOP LAUREN COLLINS

For the past 15 years, Frank Hurt Secondary has had some added horsepower in its automotive shop.

Chris Fox, a 69-year-old retired mechanic, has been sharing his expertise for free. He originally got the gig transporting the school’s drag racing car to Mission Raceway Park.

“From there, I started coming two days a week and it just built up,” Fox says.

He now volunteers Monday through Wednesday at the Newton high school.

Fox retired from the workforce 11 years ago and he said volunteering has given him “good aim in life” and helps him give back to the community through his skills.

“Instead of coming to retirement age and being put out to pasture, I can come here and help to pass my trade on.”

Manpreet Grewal, Frank Hurt’s auto shop teacher, said he wouldn’t be able to do what he does without Fox. “I don’t think this program would be what it is if he wasn’t here,” Grewal said of Fox, who he’s been working with for the past eight years.

And the school’s drag race team is all Fox, according to Grewal.

“He takes care of it. I just sign the paperwork.”

Fox says some of his fondest memories have been working on the race cars.

The school has two: a 1980 Chevrolet Malibu, painted yellow and black in homage to the school’s colours, and a 1980 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, which is actually Fox’s own car.

“I look after it. I pay most of the expenses for it and that kind of stuff, so that gives me great joy just being here with the kids and working with the kids.”

One student, Nicholas Giesbrecht, has been working on the Malibu with Fox for about two years.

▶ “I don’t think this program would be what it is if he wasn’t here.”

MANPREET GREWAL

Chris Fox works on an engine with Frank Hurt Secondary students. Fox has been volunteering in the school’s auto shop for 15 years.

“He takes his own time. He doesn’t do this for money,” Giesbrecht says.

Over the years, Fox has formed close bonds with students in the shop.

He recalled the time, near the end of 2005, when he had a heart attack at the school.

“I actually collapsed just inside the shop here – I had massive heart attack and the students there, they revived me and actually, I owe my life to them,” Fox says. “If I’d been at home, no one would have found me for days on end, so I would have been dead.”

Fox now has a defibrillator implanted inside him.

Then, about two years ago, Fox had a minor stroke. He says when a person has a stroke or a heart attack, their memory tends to go.

“It’s a lot of little things you tend to forget. (Volunteering) helps me to remember stuff.”

He adds the students have been supportive of him in every way during his recoveries.

“In that respect, you know you got a good bond and you form friendships with

them. These bonds can be for life,” Fox says. “A lot of them, once you warm up to them or they warm up to you, you have great fun with them and joke with them.”

Grewal says the teens greatly admire Fox. “He’s got experience and that’s what counts. Once the students see that you know what you’re doing, they respect you.”

Fox has been living in Surrey for the past 35 years. He was originally born in Ireland and was raised in England. He started working as an auto mechanic in 1974.

Considering Fox lives just up the hill from the school, his volunteering gig doesn’t have a long commute.

He says as long as he can still get there, do the job and Grewal (or “G” as he calls him) needs him, he will keep on coming.

“As long as I enjoy coming here, I will keep coming here. I thought of (quitting at) 70… but that at the moment – it’s just a starting date.”

Surrey is gearing up for its 69th-annual Cloverdale Rodeo and 127th-annual Country Fair, and organizers say this year will be one for the memory books.

The event, which is held on the long weekend from May 14 to

18 at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds at 176 Street and 60 Avenue, is the culmination of a year of planning.

First off are the 38th-annual Cloverdale Bed Races and Decorated Bike Parade on Thursday, May 14 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. in downtown Cloverdale.

The rodeo itself will include bareback riding, barrel racing, saddle bronc riding, bull riding and the ever-popular mutton busting.

Some of the world’s best cowboys and

cowgirls will attend as the Cloverdale Rodeo continues its practice of providing an invitational event.

B.C.-based Karen Lee Batten, B.C. Country Music Association’s female vocalist of the year, will also be performing at the rodeo.

There’s also the World Freestyle Round-Up Skateboard Championships, which are expecting close to 30 skaters from seven countries to compete for up to $10,000 in prize money.

Of note is 12-yearold Japanese skateboarder Isamu Yamamoto, who took the world by storm last year when he beat out 20-year-old Kaue Araujo from Brazil for the top spot in the amateur division.

This year, Yamamoto comes back to compete in the pro division.

There is also a midway with a collection of rides and games for the kids.

Gem cutter and carver Lisete Cerqueira, with her exhibit Shaping Rock, Twisting Metal, is the featured artist at Watershed Artworks Gallery Shop for the month of May. “As a gem cutter, I buy the rough rock, slab it, sand and polish it until I have the final product — the cabochon,” she says. “I then set these cabochons into rings or wirewrap them in unusual, minimalist designs.

She uses stones such as rhodonite, jade, Chinese writing stone, peridot from Vernon, jasper and agates from the Fraser River.

“The gemstones I cut or carve are set in hand-forged and -formed precious metals, mostly as pendants and rings,” says Cerqueira. “Each piece is truly a unique item of art.”

OBITUARIES

ANDY STETAR Andy Stetar, 82, of Cloverdale, British Columbia, passed away peacefully in Chilliwack, BC, on Wednesday, April 8, 2015. Andy was born on December 19, 1932 in Vidora, Saskatchewan to the late John and Mary Stetar but lived most of his life in Cloverdale, British Columbia.

Andy was preceded in death by his loving wife of 53 years, Anne Stetar and was father to Catherine “Cathy” (Wayne) McAleese, Nancy (Mike) Thomson-Burr, Sandra (Brent) Stetar and Douglas “Doug” (Kathryn) Stetar.

Andy was also grandfather to Sarah (Todd) Boulanger, Jessica (Jordan) Parkes, Jennifer “Jenny” (Jay) Sullivan & Dr. Kathryn “Katy” Burr as well as a great grandfather to nine great-children: Hannah, John, Aidan, Olivia “Livy”, Jimmy, Isabella “Bella”, Max, Ava and Grace Anne. Andy was also a loving father-in-law, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend to many.

Andy married Anne Johnston in January 1956 and they originally settled in Surrey, BC where he worked as a draftsman. Together they had four children.

From early boyhood, Andy had always had dreamed of owning his own farm and he realized that dream when in 1968 he and Anne bought a farm together on 168th street in Cloverdale, BC and for the next 20 years they owned and operated ‘Stetar Farms’. Together, Andy and Anne successfully operated their farm which specialized in growing carrots, onions and potatoes. In 1989 the farm was sold and Andy retired from farming.

After Andy and Anne retired in 1989 they spent many years traveling and touring throughout Canada and the United States and eventually became ‘Canadian Snowbirds’ - splitting their time between Phoenix, Arizona and British Columbia.

Not one to sit around and do nothing, Andy always needed to be busy so after retirement he became interested in woodworking, needlepoint, computing and puzzle making. He was an accomplished & meticulous woodworker and loved to make beautiful furniture. He handcrafted everything from tables, chests, cribs & cradles to bed frames and birdhouses.

His beautiful woodworking has now become cherished family heirlooms and will be passed down from generation to generation.

When he wasn’t in his workshop he would often be working on his needlepoint. Although not a patient man, Andy would sit for hours working on his needlepoint canvases and over the years created many stunning needlepoint pictures which he displayed in a handcrafted frame.

Andy will always be remembered for strength, loyalty and unconditional love for his family. Andy will be missed greatly by his family.

Because I have loved life, I shall have no sorrow to die.

- Amelia J. Burr A graveside service was held on April 14, 2015 and Andy Stetar was laid to rest alongside his beloved wife Anne at the Surrey Center Cemetery in Cloverdale, BC.
