42 cougar, five bear sightings so far this year in Surrey ▼ PUBLIC URGED TO TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT WILD ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS SHEILA REYNOLDS

So far this year, there have been multiple reports of bear and cougar sightings in Surrey.

Because most encounters take place mid-summer to midfall, Surrey RCMP are warning residents to watch out for the potentially dangerous wildlife and take precautions to reduce the likelihood of run-ins.

In the first six months of this year, police say conservation officers have received five bear sightings and 42 cougar sightings in Surrey.

In comparison, for all of 2014, there were 21 bear reports and 19 cougar sightings. In 2013, the figures were particularly high, with 254 bear and 76 cougar sightings.

However, officials note the number of sightings can be misleading.

“The conservation officer described it to me this way… he said ‘that may sound like a lot, but it can be just two animals, for example, generating all those calls in a short period of time’,” explained Cpl. Scotty Schumann. “So if you have a bear or cougar that’s not afraid to be in the neighbourhood and hangs around for awhile, you’re going to get big numbers. The numbers don’t say how many animals in the area.”

He said conservation officers indicated the cougar sightings are more common in the South Surrey area.

While most wild animals shy away from human contact, the lure of garbage sometimes trumps their fear.

Surrey police officers work with conservation officers to ensure both the safety of the public and the animals. To prevent attracting a bear of cougar to your neighbourhood, take the following steps: • Keep garbage inside until pickup day; • Don’t add meat products or cooked food to compost and keep it covered; • Pick ripe and fallen fruit daily or remove unused fruit trees; • Use bird feeders only in winter and keep ground free of seeds; • Clean barbecue grill after each use and store covered in a secure place; • Keep pet dishes and food indoors.

If you see a bear or cougar, you’re advised to remain calm and stay away from the animal and bring children and pets inside. Call the Conservation Officer Service or the 24-hour hotline at 1-877-952-RAPP (7277) and do not attempt to deal with the animal yourself. If a life is in danger, call 911.

Smoke chokes region, forces air quality advisory ▼ PARTICULATE FROM FIRES AT ‘UNPRECEDENTED’ LEVELS, SAY METRO VANCOUVER OFFICIALS JEFF NAGEL

An air quality advisory issued Sunday afternoon for Metro Vancouver is continuing and has been extended to the Fraser Valley as a result of smoke blowing into the region from wildfires raging across B.C. Metro Vancouver air quality planner Geoff Doerksen said fine particulate concentrations from the smoke have hit levels never seen before across the entire Lower Mainland.

“Seeing these heavy smoke levels mix down to the ground is unprecedented for our region,” he said.

The air quality objective for fine particulate is 25 micrograms per cubic metre measured as a 24-hour rolling average.

Readings four times that level – 100 micrograms or higher – were recorded Monday morning at stations in North Vancouver, Burnaby and Vancouver, where the highest reading of 121.6 was at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children.

Other areas with particulate levels double to triple the objective included Surrey at 81.7, Langley at 67.2, Abbotsford at 66.2 and Chilliwack at 50. Hope was less smoky at 10.

“We’ve never seen this before,” Doerksen said. “We’re exceeding our fine particulate objectives at all of our stations in Metro Vancouver as well as our Fraser Valley stations.”

Metro saw elevated particulate in 2012 – with readings briefly spiking towards but not above 100 – as a result of smoke from wildfires in Siberia. There was also more localized smoke in 2005 from a fire in Burns Bog. There’s no single fire to blame for the smoke.

Significant amounts of smoke are coming into the Lower Mainland from fires burning west of Pemberton.

But nearby fires are also burning on Vancouver Island and on the Sunshine ▶ “We’ve Coast near Sechelt. never seen this And officials say more distant fires burning before. We’re elsewhere in the B.C. exceeding our Interior and beyond have also brought smoke here fine particulate because of a lack of wind objectives...” blowing onshore from the GEOFF DOERKSEN continued on page 12

The finger pointing has resumed between the province and Metro Vancouver mayors after voters resoundingly defeated a proposal to charge a 0.5-per-cent sales tax in the region to fund transit and transportation.

The proposed tax that would have funded $7.5 billion in upgrades over 10 years was rejected with 61.7 per cent of voters saying “no” and 38.3 per cent saying “yes.”

The yes side lost in every major city of the region – even in Vancouver where it got 49.1 per cent – and only won in sparsely populated areas like Belcarra and Bowen Island in the mail-in plebiscite conducted over 10 weeks.

The no vote was stron-

transit.

Surrey and Vancouver are expected to try to cobble together their own plan B strategies to build light rail in Surrey and a SkyTrain extension west along Broadway.

But the region will be without the funding required for a broad 25-per-cent bus service lift, including many more frequent express bus routes that had been in the mayors’ plan, nor will there be money for increased SkyTrain, HandyDart, night bus or SeaBus service that was to have swiftly kicked in after a yes vote.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner vowed Thursday to push ahead with light rail in Surrey, potentially with private financing.

But light rail in Surrey – if it can be built with hefty senior government contributions – will not be be as viable and efficient in covering its operating costs if it is not accompanied by much-bolstered connecting bus routes to bring riders.

“It sets up a really nasty situation where some people are getting improved rapid transit service in some areas but other people’s transit service is being cut back,” said Eric Doherty, a HandyDart advocate.

Yes forces had argued defeat would worsen congestion as the population grows and demand pressures intensify on a frozen transit system, spurring more transit users to drive instead. continued on page 10

It’s been a bumpy road to referendum loss JEFF NAGEL

▶ “The thing was a waste.”

SFU CITY PROGRAM DIRECTOR GORDON PRICE

lice chiefs, university presidents and others to argue why improved transit would be good for residents.

No campaign strategist Jordan Bateman, in contrast, stuck to a single, simple message: TransLink wastes tax money and it can’t yet be trusted with any more.

On the defensive, the TransLink board, which

includes the Vancouver and Surrey mayors, removed Ian Jarvis as CEO of TransLink in February but kept him on as an advisor to avoid a costly payout.

That meant the hiring of an interim CEO at $35,000 a month, creating the spectre of “two CEOs.” Rather than rebuilding trust and turning the page, the move added more momentum for the no side and refocused public attention on executive salaries.

In March, billionaire businessman Jim Pattison stepped forward to head a committee that would, if the tax was approved, oversee the flow of money and ensure it wasn’t misspent by TransLink.

As the campaign wound down, mayors hosted telephone town halls to field questions, grassroots campaigners crafted viral videos and yes forces worked to identify supporters and persuade them to send in their ballots.

All the effort didn’t come cheap.

The Mayors’ Council spent $5.8 million

on the campaign, but spending by some cities, other yes campaign partners, as well as Elections BC’s costs push the total bill for the plebiscite to more

than $12 million.

“The whole thing was a waste,” said SFU City Program Director Gordon Price, who said there should never again be such a

referendum.

“How can you possibly justify spending another $12 million, including the Elections BC part, for a dubious outcome?”

THREE-SOME THREE-S SOME DAY DAYS S AT P POTTERS OTTER

Many observers and some mayors predicted the referendum was doomed from the start.

But Metro Vancouver mayors – forced into a box created by Premier Christy Clark – opted to proceed in the hopes that they could pull out a surprise win, just as the premier had a year earlier.

They did succeed in hammering out a detailed transit expansion plan a year ago in a tight time frame laid down by the province. The only mayor opposing it then was Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan, who called the $7.5-billion package too ambitious and predicted failure.

Haggling continued over what funding source to propose until after the 2014 municipal elections.

When mayors settled on the sales tax hike in December, two more mayors from West Vancouver and Maple Ridge voted against proceeding. Lack of sufficient control over TransLink by the mayors was a major objection for the holdouts.

While the “yes” side didn’t have complete consensus of mayors out of the gate, it did have a huge and growing coalition that united disparate groups from business leaders to environmentalists.

But despite the big tent of supporters – more than 140 groups ultimately signed on to the coalition – confusion and strategic errors ensued.

Observers say the lack of time available to prepare voters for the campaign was a major cause of the defeat.

U.S. jurisdictions where new transit tax measures won voter approval had years to lay the groundwork.

Crucial weeks were lost in January waiting for the province to clarify how the tax would work – that it would be a simple provincial sales tax increase to 7.5 per cent rather than a separate line item on bills as the government first indicated.

One of the biggest missteps of the campaign arguably happened before it even started.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner’s election campaign promise that

she would find a way to build light rail in her city even if the referendum failed put the yes side in trouble in the region’s second largest city.

Why, some residents asked, should they vote to pay for a new tax if they’d still get light rail without it? In the end, 66 per cent of Surrey voters rejected the tax.

Elsewhere in the region, voters were receptive to “no” campaign suggestions the money could be found by fixing waste within TransLink.

Mayors struggled to explain why drivers should pay more for transit they don’t use.

“People were worried about change, they were worried about pricing, they were worried about waste at TransLink,” said Peter Robinson, president of the David Suzuki Foundation and co-chair of the Better Transit and Transportation Coalition.

“All of those came together in a brew that made it very difficult for folks to keep thinking

about the real issue – how do we move people around this region.”

By February, an early lead for the yes side had evaporated and a new poll put the no campaign decisively ahead by 15 points.

The 10-week period when mail-in ballots were accepted saw a blizzard of campaign claims by both sides.

Yes forces rolled out economists, medical health officers, po-

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday July 8 2015

Weather highlights a hot-butt issue Here it is, the second week of July. Summer isn’t yet three weeks old and already, we’re in the midst of a heat wave with no end in sight.

Could it be that the relentlessly hot weather is making our brains soft?

Is there another possible explanation as to why, despite the fact that temperatures have been lingering in the high 20s or low 30s for what feels like forever, and despite the lack of rain and resulting desert-like conditions, people are still flicking their butts?

Never mind that carelessly discarded cigarettes are litter and are obnoxious.

Under the right conditions – exactly the conditions, coincidentally, that British Columbians find themselves in right now – they have

almost unlimited potential for destruction.

What we can only hope is a small minority of smokers are giving what is already a widely reviled habit an even worse name.

Whether they’re flicked out the window of a car, or dropped and given a half-hearted turn of a heel during a walk, cigarette butts are being discarded without, apparently, so much as a second thought to the property, lives or safety of everyone around them.

It’s a problem, of course, for fire crews, who have to gear up and battle searing hot flames in 30-plus degree weather.

RAESIDE

But it’s a much bigger issue than that.

Even before summer officially arrived, the province had all but tapped out its wildfire fighting budget for the entire year. Dry lightning storms in the Interior continue to ignite parched vegetation, leaving crews scrambling.

Mother Nature doesn’t need any help from humans in that department. But she’s getting it anyway.

June’s unrelenting dry heat was certainly out of character for the typically cool and soggy month, but this is hardly the first stretch of hot weather British Columbians have ever seen. We know better.

Outlook cloudy for climate policies BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election.

Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a “price” on carbon dioxide emissions across the country.

Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields.

The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy.

This is the type of technological rev-

olution that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s officials indicated would be needed, after Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100.

That’s right, some time within the next 85 years.

Clark visited General Fusion in May to announce her new climate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December.

That’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delegation of premiers to stop the flow of “fossil awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits.

Asked about the fusion reactor she had just toured, Clark laughed off the question, comparing it to the “flux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back to the Future.

Trudeau recently told university students that we need to change our concepts of time and space, and he didn’t seem to be kidding.

The point here for voters is that all

these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business.

The Pope has weighed in, assuring us that carbon trading systems are not going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner.

Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature “solely as a source of profit and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.)

The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this

would be the run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now.

B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes.

Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its near-death experience in 2013.

The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

No ambiguity here

▼ VOTERS SAW THROUGH THE FINANCIAL INEPTNESS This time, TransLink and the mayor’s council did not fool all the people all of the time.

TransLink’s crashing into a financial iceberg has been long predicted, ever since the first SkyTrain line was built.

Why? Simple math. SkyTrain costs two to four times more to build and costs more to operate and maintain than modern LRT. This means that the taxpayer was/is paying lot more for SkyTrain than most other cities without any operational benefit. This is why the cost per revenue passenger is a full one-third higher for TransLink than cities like Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto.

No one builds with SkyTrain and only seven such systems have been built in over 35 years. Do people buy Edsels anymore?

The mayors’ plan was to do the same thing over again, building a $3-billion vanity subway in Vancouver and light rail designed as a poor man’s LRT in Surrey, driving up the cost of transit while not attracting many new customers – a recipe for TransLink to hit another financial iceberg in a decade’s time.

The result? The taxpayers saw TransLink for what it is –a ponderous and inept bureaucracy unable to plan for transit for the 21st century – and voted accordingly.

It is now time for the premier to rectify the situation, but I doubt this will happen as the B.C. Liberals have a strong appetite for expensive vanity transit projects.

▼ WILL POLITICIANS HEAR TAXPAYERS’ CLEAR RESPONSE? Which part of no do politicians not understand?

I must admit, I was very surprised that the “no” side won in the transit referendum – and so dominantly to boot.

I am happy to witness that more people starting to pay attention to what our “rulers” are up to.

Yet TransLink still doesn’t seem to get the message that this referendum was about them and their lack of accountability. I like to use the saying “can’t fix stupid.”

The millions of tax dollars spent in the “yes” campaign was a swift kick in our already thin-lined wallets.

So I have to ask myself, which part of no do the politicians and their backers not understand?

And what are the defeated mayors doing now? Of course passing the ball back into Christy Clark’s court – a game that is played amongst politicians with our dollars, yet we don’t even get to sit in the bleachers to watch.

D. Malcolm Johnston, Delta

A letter writer is surprised – but pleased – at the overwhelming ‘no’ response in the transit referendum. FILE PHOTO Why do so many people still call this democracy? Even though the no side won, look what it actually cost us. I agree that the defeated mayors should be responsible for their manipulative campaign.

Our province has much more important issues than supporting an a crooked TransLink, including health care, poverty, home-

lessness, drug wars in Surrey, overdevelopment in White Rock, etc. – the list is endless.

Dear folks, please stay awake.

We do have the people power if we want to.

There is more to come from our so-called representatives.

▼ GET THE MESSAGE, TRANSLINK Re: The win for taxpayers in the transit plebiscite.

It’s good to hear that Surrey, Langley and Maple Ridge had such a strong voice in opposition to paying TransLink more money to be less accountable.

Asking people to pay more for less service, having two CEOs in a company doing the same job, and expecting Aldergrove residents to fund more of Vancouver and Burnaby’s transit system (when parts of Aldergrove have no transit service at all) guiled enough people to send in their ballots with a clear message that taxing us for more transit is not acceptable.

TransLink needs to look at how they operate – or how they don’t operate – efficiently and make changes internally before calling on Lower Mainland residences to add more cash to the trough.

If the peasants stand together, the kingdom will fall.

Outdoor Living Magnolia Gardens is an idyllic place, with its warm country atmosphere and plenty of space to grow, thrive and flourish.

Nestled within a larger 40-acre residential neighbourhood in the heart of Langley City, residents at Magnolia Gardens regularly walk to the downtown centre, nearby parks and nature trails.

Because outdoor living is a great part of living and thriving here, residents experience a dramatic and nourishing revitalization by being outside more often and taking excursions.

Private landscaped gardens on the grounds are stunning and enjoy the tender loving care of resident green thumbs.

Pam Murphy, Area General Manager for Langley explains how accessible the gardens are, “Even those in wheelchairs or with walkers can enjoy the blooms via a path that encircles the building.”

For those wanting adventurous and independent outings, Glover Road’s wide sidewalks lead residents to the community library, services and shops just a few blocks away.

And on those rainy indoor days? There are always funinfused group activities and entertainment to indulge all types of passions and hobbies.

Like twice-weekly social hours, movie nights, holiday celebrations, and parties to attend. There’s bingo, board games and cards nights. There are fitness classes, craft and sewing circles, a knitting group and lively trivia contests.

“But whenever the weather cooperates, we line up an excursion,” Pam says and explains how varied the activities are, “We’ve taken residents to purchase plants for the garden beds, and once weekly shopping for any particular groceries they want.

We’ll brunch in White Rock or visit Alder Acres to view the animals. We’ll go to the Chilliwack Airport for lunch or feed the ducks and take picnics to Derby Park. The residents love it!” Pam smiles.

Residents don’t have to take care of anything here — except each other. Magnolia Gardens is for seniors who want to stay active, live independently, and have fun.

Magnolia Gardens provides its residents with two types of living across 115 suites all in the same complex: Independent Living and Licensed Care suites. Pam explains, “When health needs change, there’s no need to move. It’s simply a room change to one of our Licensed Care suites. They don’t need to change their lifestyle,

friendships or activities.” But no matter what level of care is required, there are always countless directions in which to grow and thrive at Magnolia Gardens, inside and out.

If you’re curious about living a vibrant life at Bria’s Magnolia Gardens, contact Jane Bryce, Area Marketing Manager for Langley at 604 514-1210.

Magnolia Gardens is just blocks away from the downtown centre, public library, shops and services. With Independent Living and Care Centre in the same residence, we can accommodate your varying and changing needs.

You’ll like living here!

Magnolia Gardens is a community for seniors who want to stay active, live independently, and have fun with their friends and families every day.

No campaign head Jordan Bateman of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation exploited many voters’ unwillingness to pay more – especially to TransLink – and argued more money could be found if cities restrained their own spending and tax growth.

He successfully framed the campaign as a vote on TransLink, which he accused of mismanagement and which had come off major SkyTrain breakdowns and a failure to fully launch its

the future livces here.

new Compass card payment system on time.

Bateman called the result a “tremendous victory for taxpayers” and said the no win was achieved on a shoestring against heavy odds.

“They had big business, big government, big labour, big environment and big money.

But they didn’t have the people.”

He called for a core review of TransLink to seek more savings.

Mayors never wanted the referendum and repeatedly said something as crucial to the region as transit expansion should not go to a public vote.

They had previously wrung a pledge from former Premier Gordon Campbell to allow a new transit revenue source.

But Premier Christy Clark reneged and promised in the 2013 provincial election any new tax source for TransLink would have to be approved by local voters.

Left with only that path to new funding, mayors agreed last year to the plebiscite and chose a hike in the provincial sales tax from 7 to 7.5 per cent within Metro, rather than other options, such as a vehicle levy.

With the sales tax rejected, mayors could still raise TransLink property taxes, which is an existing source.

That option has been repeatedly suggested by the premier and was touted again Thursday

by Transportation Minister Todd Stone as a solution the mayors could deliver “tomorrow.”

But Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, chair of the mayors’ council, insisted property tax is not an option.

Instead mayors are threatening to pull out of the TransLink governance structure – effectively leaving all decisions and responsibility to the province – unless the Clark government reforms TransLink and finds a funding solution in the next six months.

“TransLink is their creation,” Robertson said. “The ball’s back in the province’s court for next steps.”

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said the key priority now is to “fix TransLink.”

Stone said he will work with mayors to explore new solutions, without issuing “ultimatums.”

He said the province

remains committed to covering one-third of the cost of new rapid transit lines and the new Pattullo Bridge, which would leave one-third to be raised by the region after a matching contribution from Ottawa.

“Doing nothing simply is not an option,” Stone said, adding some other funding source will be required and will have to come from the region to cover its third of the costs.

He also suggested the mayors repriorize the projects in their plan, potentially delaying new lines longer.

If mayors hold firm to the need for a new source, it’s unclear how that can happen without a new referendum the premier has said can’t be held before the next municipal elections in 2018.

Bateman said he will urge Clark to recommit in the 2017 provincial election to an ongoing plebicite requirement for new TransLink taxes.

In the meantime, observers predict some cities will consider freezing much new development in areas that planners had assumed would be served by better transit in the future.

Any clampdown on new home construction could drive real estate prices higher.

One project TransLink is still expected to pursue is the $1-billion replacement of the Pattullo Bridge, to be funded through tolls.

Mayors also intend to pursue some system of road pricing and Stone has signalled tolling reform will be required if the Pattullo and future Massey Tunnel replacement are both tolled, leaving only one remaining free crossing of the Fraser River.

Further reforms are possible at TransLink, Stone said, beyond a new CEO and move to open board meetings, which he also hoped would improve accountability.

SFU City Program director Gordon Price said the TransLink board of directors should submit to a reconfirmation of their seats by the mayors’ council.

He said the result relegates the region to living with “a second rate transportation system” that will have profound implications for the development of Metro Vancouver.

Price also said it raises the threat that future decisions will be made, not on the basis of an overarching plan rooted in good planning, but on politics as cities are pitted against each other in a project-by-project battle for scarce dollars.

“Politically, it may be better for the province not to have to commit itself to large scale, sustainable ongoing funding, but to be able to pick and choose those projects it believes are best for the region, but also politically advantageous and affordable.”

The smoke blotted out the sun in much of the region and there have been reports of ash falling over a wide area.

“People from Port Hardy and Salt Spring Island and many other areas have been calling in saying there’s ashes all over their decks and their boats,” Dupont said.

Provincial officials are considering a ban on the use of ATVs and motorcycles in the backcountry to prevent more fires from being sparked.

“A lot of forest companies have shut down their private lands and put up gates,” Dupont added.

“We’re hoping with all the smoke more people will think about the fires that are burning and be more careful,” she said.

“The winds have been shifting quite a bit in the last couple of days,” Doerksen said.

“Some of our computer models show smoke as far as Alberta and the Northwest Territories affecting our area.”

He said there are two smoke layers – one ground level and one higher aloft – affecting the Metro area, with upper level smoke coming from more distant sources.

The hazy conditions are expected to persist until there’s a change in the current weather pattern.

particulate exposure.

Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have diabetes, and lung or heart disease.

People suffering from the effects of the degraded air quality are advised to: • Stay in a cool, air-conditioned environment and reduce other indoor sources of air pollution such as smoking and vacuuming.

• Run an air cleaner.

Some room air cleaners, such as HEPA filters, can help reduce indoor particulate levels provided they are the right size for your home and filters are changed regularly.

• Take shelter in air-conditioned buildings that have large indoor volumes and limited entry of outdoor air.

This is the second air quality advisory issued in the region this year.

An earlier one lasting two days in June was due to ground-level ozone.

Avoiding the use of gas-powered mowers and other equipment, and taking transit or carpooling instead of driving can avoid further adding to the region’s air pollution problem.

A weekend house fire in Surrey early Saturday morning has claimed a man’s life.

Surrey RCMP say they received a report from Surrey Fire Service shortly after midnight July 4 of a residential fire near 156 Street and 82 Avenue.

It was determined there was a man trapped inside the residence, who was removed by fire fighters but later passed away.

His cause of death has not been confirmed and he had not been identified as of Monday morning.

Police say the fire does not appear suspicious, but the exact cause has yet to be determined.

Two more Surrey Free Nail Trim shootings Sunday & No Exam Fees ▶ SHOTS FIRED IN WEST NEWTON EARLY MORNING AND MID-AFTERNOON SHEILA REYNOLDS

Surrey RCMP is investigating two more shootings that took place Sunday – one of which was in the middle of the afternoon.

Police say the first report of shots fired came in about 3 a.m. Sunday in the 8300-block of 128 Street. Officers found evidence that shots had been fired, but no injuries were reported.

As of Monday afternoon, police were still trying to determine if the incident was linked to any of the dozens of shootings that have occurred in Surrey and Delta in recent months.

The second Surrey shooting July 5 was at 1:45 p.m. near 123 Street and 71A Avenue – a brazen daytime incident police believe was targeted.

Once on scene, investigators found a man suffering from minor cuts from glass fragments resulting from another car shooting at the victim’s vehicle. He was treated at the scene and released. It’s believed the gunfire came from a dark-coloured vehicle.

Police canvassed the neighbourhood and spoke with several witnesses and the investigation continues.

Anyone with further information who has not already spoken to police is asked to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca

On Monday afternoon, Christine Joanne Pash, 23, was charged with aggravated assault.

She appeared in court early this week and released on strict conditions. She is due back in Surrey Provincial Court on July 22.

Tyler Hoefer contriubed at the plate and on the mound for the North Delta Blue Jays last weekend on Vancouver Island. BOAZ JOSEPH Mackenzie Marquis and Tyler Hoefer were the leading batters, each with two hits.

Logan Newman had a pair of RBIs. The Pirates won a nine-inning game to start the day, scoring the winning run on three hits in the second extra inning.

Dylan Dahl and Newman paced North Delta

Hoefer pitched well over seven innings, but didn’t get a decision. He allowed just four hits and a pair of walks, with three of four runs allowed unearned.

The weekend road

The Blue Jays went up 4-3 in the top of the sixth inning when William Quito scored on a wild pitch with two out.

Parksville came back with two runs on three hit in the bottom half of the inning to take the lead, then shut out the Jays in the seventh.

Marquis and Trevor Gentles each went twofor-three at the plate.

The Royals scored four times in the bottom of the sixth inning to break a 2-2 tie for the win in the second game, snapping the deadlock with four consecutive one-run singles.

Parksville outhit North Delta 13-8, with Clint Taylor and Alex Davis getting two hits each for the Blue Jays.

Local teams in contention at Canadian Open NICK GREENIZAN

Surrey teams were near the top of the heap during the first few days of the Canadian Open Fastpitch International Championships.

The event – which hit local diamonds Friday – opened with the Showcase (U16) and Futures (U19) Select tournaments, both of which wrapped up Monday night after The Leader’s press deadline.

Plenty of Surrey squads were in contention after the round-robin portion of the tournament, and the first round of playoffs.

In the Showcase division, South Surrey Thunder ’99s earned a first-round bye after rolling through the four-game round-robin with a perfect record in Pool B – outscoring their competition 31-4 along the way. They were upset 6-5 by the Langley Xtreme in the quarterfinal round Monday morning.

Meanwhile, the Cloverdale Fury ’99s went 2-2 in the same round-robin division, before being edged 3-2 by the North Shore Stars in the first round of playoffs Sunday afternoon.

In Pool A, the Fleetwood Force also automatically advanced into the second round – they, too, were 4-0 in round-robin play – but they were eliminated Sunday by the Washington Tigers, losing 8-0.

In the Futures Select event, two Surrey Storm squads – the ’97 and ’98 teams – were both in the second round of playoffs. The Storm ’97 lost 8-3 to the Oregon Wildcats, while Storm ’98 fell 10-5 to the Langley Rebels.

The South Surrey-White Rock Thunder ’98 team lost in the first round of playoffs, 9-4 to the Fleetwood Force. The Force were then eliminated 9-1 by the California Lightning Sunday evening.

The Futures Gold tournament also began on the weekend, with two White Rock Renegades teams combining for three wins.

On Saturday, the Renegades ’97 shutout the Brampton Blazers 3-0, and Sunday, the White Rock Renegades

’99 defeated Washington Cascade Crush 4-2 before beating the Red Deer Rage 9-1.

The Showcase Gold teams hit the field Monday for their first games, and both divisions will see round-robin contests played throughout the week. Playoffs are set to begin Friday, with the championship games in both age groups set for Sunday afternoon.

National teams from across the globe also began filing into Softball City earlier this week, as the Open’s women’s international division prepared to begin play Tuesday.

Canada took on the NJCAA All-Stars Tuesday afternoon – after press deadline – while national squads from Japan, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico and the Dominican Republic were also in action.

Canada returns to the field today (Wednesday) at 3 p.m., when they face Mexico at Softball City’s Diamond 1.

Canada plays at least one game each day until Saturday, when playoff rounds begin. The championship is set for

Team Canada had to settle for a fourth-place finish at the World Cup of Softball last weekend in Irvine, California.

After going 5-2 (win-loss) in the round robin at the eight-team tournament, Canada

qualified for the bronze medal game against Puerto Rico (4-3).

Canada gave up a three-run home run in the first inning, and went on to a 3-2 loss.

Canada got one run back in the second inning when Erika Polidori drew a walk then scored on a throwing

took the loss, allowing three runs on five hits in two and two-thirds innings pitched. Karissa Hovinga pitched four

innings of relief, giving up five hits and striking out four batters.

Critter Care gets wild and woolly ▶ ‘ABSOLUTELY CRAZY YEAR’ FOR WILDLIFE REHABILITATION CENTRE, WHICH IS HOSTING ITS ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE WEEKEND JULY 11-12 MONIQUE TAMMINGA

From a baby porcupine to marmots and mink, this year’s open houses at Critter Care wildlife rehabilitation centre is going to be wild and woolly.

“This has been an absolutely crazy year, very busy with so many animals,” said Critter Care founder Gail Martin.

“This heat has been hard on all the animals and the volunteers and staff, too.”

Critter Care released nine bears back to the wild on June 24. They still have six in their care, including the two cubs that arrived small and emaciated last May. Critter Care specialize in the treatment, care and release of sick, injured and orphaned B.C. mammals, including skunks, raccoons, coyote, deer, otters, bobcats, lynx, bears, opossums and squirrels.

Once a year, they open the facility to the public to let them see how it all works and for people to have the chance to meet some of the babies and see all their antics.

This year, the two-day open house takes place on Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Along with plenty of entertainment, food and tours to see the animals, animal rescuer Norm Snihur will be there along with his two-seater helicopter.

“Norm picks up wildlife for us all over the province and brings them to us,” said Martin. “He brought us a couple fawns from Gibsons last week. He does

it for all the animal rescue centres and has for years.

“He is one of the many amazing volunteers we are lucky to have.”

Snihur has flown as far as Kamloops and as close as Victoria to safely transport injured or orphaned wildlife.

Highlights of this year’s open house will include the RCMP, a fire truck and firefighters from Langley Township Hall 5, a stilt walker, face painting, a dunk tank, a bouncy castle, animal mascots and the West Coast Thunder horse drill team. Food is offered all day.

Admission is $2 per adult, kids are free.

Critter Care is in great need of toilet paper, tissues, garbage bags, cleaning products, towels, receiving blankets and even kiddy pools to cool the animals. There is plenty of parking. Tours should be booked upon entry.

Critter Care is located at 481 216 St. in Campbell Valley Park in Langley.

School blood drive saves lives ▶ GUILDFORD PARK SECONDARY SUPPORTS TEACHER WITH RARE CONDITION BLACK PRESS

A friendly blood donation competition between teachers and students at a Surrey school has produced life-saving results.

The community at Guildford Park Secondary was moved to start the blood drive after hearing school teacher Iveta Finnson had needed multiple transfusions to keep her alive.

Finnson has a rare condition called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, which only about 20 other people in B.C. have. The condition stops her blood working properly and can be fatal. Treatment can require more than 300 units of donated blood.

As part of the effort to raise awareness, the students competed to create a design for T-shirts donated to the campaign, with the

winning entry coming from Grade 11 student Veronica Bukowsky.

The students won the T-shirts after beating the teachers by having a greater proportion of their eligible group take part. More than

Students at Surrey’s Guildford Park Secondary donated about 50 pints of blood, an initiative spurred by a teacher’s health issues.

75 students registered as blood donors and 49 units have been donated, while 38 staff members have registered and 16 donated.

The school now plans to make the blood drive an annual initiative.

Fellow teachers Kristin Dorey and Tammie Stockli, and inner-city school worker Julia Wood, decided they were going to give blood. Then the students said they wanted to give, too, and they embraced the resulting competition wholeheartedly.

“We have a magnificent group of students who want to help others and don’t have the financial means to help.

To know that this was a different way that they can give, that was so powerful to them,” says Stockli.
