WOMAN CHARGED IN DOG CRUELTY CASE

KEVIN DIAKIW

A 24-year-old woman has been charged with animal cruelty for allegedly causing severe trauma to a dog in Surrey earlier this year.

Investigators believe Lindsey Susan Hirtreiter jammed lighters, jewelry, a fish hook and other objects down a dog’s throat on Valentines Day (Feb. 14).

Ryder, a three-year-old black Labrador retriever, had earlier gone missing from a back yard in the Chimney Heights neighbourhood.

Surrey Mounties received a call from a nearby landlord, who said his blood-soaked tenant came to the door and claimed she had been attacked by a dog.

Police said when they arrived, continued on page 3

‘I FEEL STRONGER EVERY DAY’ ▶ SENIOR WHO WAS VIOLENTLY ASSAULTED IN SURREY HOME INVASION GRATEFUL FOR SUPPORT TRACY HOLMES

As police continue to search for the man who brutally assaulted a South Surrey senior in her home last week, the victim and her husband have reached out to thank those who helped her in the aftermath.

“The people in the neighbourhood were awesome, as were all of the police officers and firemen and paramedics and hospital staff and doctors and nurses at Surrey Memorial Hospital. I feel stronger every day

Students Need Insurance Too This month, thousands of students across Canada left home to attend college, university and other educational institutions, in other provinces and abroad. Many will be living on their own for the first time, taking with them expensive laptop computers, wireless devices, and other electronic equipment.

They are covered under your home policy for Personal Property But it’s the liability insurance that is important - there could be a fire, flood or a personal injury accident. For example, if someone falls and breaks their arm at the student’s place of residence or the dwelling is damaged, the student could be held financially

All roommates need their own insurance When sharing a home with others t is important to ensure that all roommates sharing the property have their own insurance coverage and that everyone is named on the lease.You don’t want your child to be the only person listed on the lease because in the case of injury or damage, he or she will be held liable.

because of them and my husband and family,” the 70-year-old told Black Press by email Sunday.

The woman was physically and sexually assaulted around noon on Aug. 12, when a man entered her home in the 16700-block of 28 Avenue, brandished a weapon and restrained her. When she couldn’t comply with the intruder’s demands for cash and other items, she was attacked, suffering what police described as “significant” injuries.

RCMP issued a safety warning to the community, and on Thursday, released a description and security-footage images of a suspect sought in connection with the disturbing crime.

The images – of a man wearing a baseball cap, grey T-shirt and sunglasses – were captured around 2 p.m. Aug. 12, at an RBC bank machine at 20059 40 Ave., in the Brookswood area of Langley. continued on page 3

The woman was indeed soaked in blood, but it’s not believed

that it was hers. Ryder had suffered several stab wounds from scissors and had cuts in his mouth.

It’s also believed a child may have been present when the incident took place. The child was seized by the Ministry of Children and Families.

This week, Hirtreiter was charged with two counts under the Criminal Code of Canada and Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. “We are extremely pleased that charges have now been approved in this very sad case,” said Eileen Drever, senior animal protection officer for the BC SPCA. “No animal should have to go through the pain and suffering that this poor dog endured.”

If convicted, Hirtreiter faces a maximum fine of $75,000, up to two years in jail and a ban on owning animals.

Surrey RCMP released these and other images (see surreyleader. com) of a person of interest in connection with an Aug. 12 incident where a 70-year-old woman was physically and sexually assaulted in her own home. The images were captured from surveillance video at a bank in Langley.

Murder trial delayed

▼ DEFENCE LAWYER FOR MAN ACCUSED OF SHOOTING BRADLEY MCPHERSON QUITS, CITING ETHICAL AND PROFESSIONAL REASONS KEVIN DIAKIW

The murder trial of a man accused of shooting a Surrey man to death at a Christmas Eve party in 2011 has been delayed.

The 16-day trial of Russell Bidesi was expected to begin Monday, but in a last-minute application, his defence lawyer Darcy Lawrence said he could no longer continue.

Bidesi is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Bradley McPherson, 28, who was shot at a house party near 131 Street and 67A Avenue.

“I’m making an application to withdraw as counsel,” Lawrence told B.C. Supreme Court Madam Justice Duncan. “This has nothing to do with funding.”

Lawrence also noted it is “not a ploy by Mr. Bidesi,” and apologized to the court, which was

packed with McPherson’s family and friends.

It’s believed McPherson witnessed someone being disrespectful at the party, and stepped in.

“And for that, his life was taken,” tearful mom Susan Simning said in 2013, when Bidesi’s arrest was made.

On Monday, Crown Counsel Jay Fogel acknowledged the withdrawal of defence, and noted to Duncan that under law, she had no discretion in preventing defence from leaving.

As long as it wasn’t for financial reasons, he said, the court’s hands are Bradley McPherson tied. was shot at a Duncan also apolChristmas Eve party ogized for the delay, in 2011. and told Bidesi that any future applications for removal of counsel might not be as successful.

A fix date to re-schedule the trial has been set for Sept. 3 in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Alcohol suspected in hit-and-run BLACK PRESS

A 54-year-old man is in hospital following a hitand-run in Surrey early Saturday morning.

Surrey RCMP say a brown Toyota van was driving eastbound on 80 Avenue when it turned north onto King George Boulevard and struck the male pedestrian in a crosswalk.

The van driver continued for a short distance before pulling into a business, parking and getting out of the vehicle. A witness was able to lead police to the vehicle and driver.

The pedestrian was taken to hospital in serious condition.

Mounties believe alcohol played a part in the incident and the driver is being investigated for impaired driving.

Anyone who witnessed this incident or has further information is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-2228477 or www.solvecrime.ca, quoting file number 2015-117197.

Witnesses to fatal motorcycle crash sought Delta Police are appealing for anyone who witnessed a motorcycle crash in North Delta last week to call them.

On Aug. 13 just before 10 p.m., police were called to the scene of a collision between a motorcyclist and vehicle near 54 Avenue and 104 Street.

The 54-year-old motorcyclist died from injuries suffered in the crash.

Anyone who may have seen the crash itself or prior driving behaviour is asked to contact Sgt. Mike Scholz at 604-946-4411.

Imitation rifle, camo gear, spark 911 call A man dressed in full camouflage gear carrying a backpack and a long barrel firearm was spotted in Surrey on Saturday morning.

Surrey RCMP received a 911 call that the man was walking northbound on 150 Street near 101A Avenue.

Several officers with guns drawn approached the individual and took him into custody.

It was determined the 21-year-old was carrying a Airsoft rifle closely resembling a Colt Carbine – a firearm the RCMP carry. It wasn’t until the firearm could be closely inspected that it was determined it wasn’t real. The man, it turned out, was simply on his way to a nearby Airsoft competition.

Police say the man was totally compliant, but the event could have been more serious.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday August 19 2015

As federal election looms, think local We are now at the beginning of a very long march to the Oct. 19 federal election.

More than one analyst has said this excruciatingly long campaign will favour the incumbent Conservative party, which has more financial resources than its NDP, Liberal and Green rivals, not to mention the many smaller parties that will also be fielding candidates.

But there is a fairly obvious risk of running a campaign for more than two months – the increased possibility of a faux pas that turns voters off.

The experienced Conservatives, with their reputation for internal discipline, would seem more likely to avoid that sort of crash

and burn.

But experience and discipline don’t always guarantee re-election.

Sometimes, political parties get too comfortable with being in power and they lose touch with the people who put them there.

After several victories, a sense of entitlement can creep in.

If that happens, the electorate may come to see even worthy policies as the product of people who are out of touch, and the opponents of that party can use that feeling to their advantage.

Many people will vote purely because they think Stephen Harper should

remain prime minister or because they think he should be replaced by Tom Mulcair or Justin Trudeau or Elizabeth May. Even though none of them are running as candidates locally.

Residents should consider voting for the candidate who best understands their local issues and is prepared to act on them.

So, please. Pay attention during the next two months.

Get informed about your local candidates.

Go to the public all-candidate forums, read your community papers and, most importantly, when Oct. 19 arrives, vote.

With more time, will more voters care?

BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

Several readers took me to task for last week’s commentary on the beginning of our long, hot federal election campaign.

They pointed out, among other things, that there are substantial cost increases to Elections Canada as well as higher spending limits for the parties. And thanks to generous tax deductions for political donations, taxpayers subsidize all party spending whether they want to or not.

That’s the system as it is today, so rather than rail against it, it seems more useful to ask what we’re getting for our forced investment in this exercise.

First, more leader debates. The traditional main event organized by TV networks for Oct. 8 appears to be a bust, with only Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and Green Party leader Elizabeth May expected to attend. Conservative leader Stephen Harper declined, prompting NDP leader Thomas Mulcair to say he will only take part in debates that include Harper.

Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have

agreed to a Sept. 17 debate hosted

by The Globe and Mail and Google Canada. This one is to be focused on the economy, which should force participants to get beyond their talking points and pointing fingers.

On Sept. 28 there will be a debate focused on foreign policy hosted by Munk Debates, a charitable foundation. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have accepted. May and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe were not invited to either of these.

The national media have decided that the biggest issue currently is the trial of suspended senator Mike Duffy, but this has turned out to be a rehash of facts and assertions heard many times over by those who care.

The expense account abuse has pushed the issue of senate reform to the forefront. Harper declared his intention to starve the Senate by refusing any more appointments, after most provinces ignored his call to elect their nominees.

Trudeau, having expelled all Liberal senators from the party caucus, has

warned that Harper’s plan and Mulcair’s long-standing position to abolish the Senate are both unworkable, if not unconstitutional. Trudeau has promised changes to the senate appointment process, but no specifics so far.

Party policies are being doled out one bit at a time, and the national and local candidate debates may help clarify them. Here are a couple that could use closer scrutiny.

Harper has promised to revive a stimulus program from the 2009 economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. This sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban markets and encourages more consumer debt.

Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves, and accelerated spending on school infrastructure.

Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67.

All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation tradeoffs that the parties would prefer not to discuss.

Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot.

If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment.

Car thefts surged 29 per cent across B.C. last year – reversing a decade-long decline – and that was one of the drivers behind a significant increase in the overall crime rate in the Lower Mainland.

The crime rate was up eight per cent in 2014 in Metro Vancouver and seven per cent in the Abbotsford-Mission census metropolitan area, according to Statistics Canada.

In addition to auto theft, B.C. also saw increases in thefts under $5,000, break-and-enters and child pornography.

The property crimes and car thefts are often linked, according to Insp. Peter Jadis, officer in charge of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT).

“The people that we’re dealing with are seasoned criminals,” Jadis said.

“Usually when we do apprehend them there’s

evidence of other crimes being committed – identify theft, fraud, drug dealing – and they’re using the vehicles for transportation and to facilitate these different crimes.”

Jadis said Canada Post’s investigators believe many mail box break-ins are done via stolen cars, which are often found with stolen mail inside.

He said the perpetrators are often better organized than would appear from Bait Car videos of the past depicting unhinged thieves just prior to arrest.

“They’ll hit mailboxes multiple times and build profiles,” Jadis said of identity thieves.

“Your mail will be stolen for a few weeks and then a year down the road all of a sudden there’s a new identity that someone’s using and people see their credit ratings have gone through the floor.”

Mainland.

They scan the licence plates of passing cars at a rapid rate against a database and can quickly detect one that’s been reported stolen.

Jadis said it’s an “excellent tool.”

But even that method is not foolproof.

Thieves who steal a vehicle often then look for a similar vehicle and switch licence plates with it, he said.

The unsuspecting driver whose plate has been pilfered doesn’t always spot the change because “you don’t always look at your licence plate.”

Meanwhile, the crook roams the roads undetected.

But if police cameras scan the unsuspecting driver, whose car now bears the plate of a stolen car, he’s in for a big surprise – IMPACT officers will soon be closing in to make an arrest.

“That’s happened a few times, we just have to be very careful,” Jadis said.

Violent crime down in B.C. While car thefts and other property crime climbed in 2014, violent crime fell eight per cent in B.C., according to new national statistics.

That was despite 88 homicides across the province, a 15 per cent increase.

The overall B.C. crime rate was little changed, up one per cent.

Thefts under $5,000 were up eight per cent, fraud was up 11 per cent, and property crime of all types rose seven per cent.

Drug violations were down 9.7 per cent and charges for marijuana production or trafficking plunged 45 per cent.

Statistics Canada also posted new crime severity index rankings of major populated centres. The measurement also includes traffic offences and federal violations not included in the crime rate.

Metro Vancouver area had a crime severity index of 96.7 – the worst in B.C. and much higher than the national average of 66.7.

Only two cities had a higher ranking of crime severity – Regina at 102.8 and Saskatoon at 109.7.

The crime severity index was 87.9 in Kelowna, 84.4 in Abbotsford-Mission and 62.8 in Victoria.

NEB releases long list of conditions for Trans Mountain approval ▶ KINDER MORGAN PRESIDENT SAYS ENERGY BOARD’S TERMS ARE ‘RIGOUROUS BUT ACHIEVABLE’ TOM FLETCHER

The National Energy Board has released a draft list of 145 conditions for approval of Kinder Morgan Canada’s oil pipeline expansion project, including environmental protection plans for land and marine operations.

Conditions include the possibility of dredging for the expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby, where the original Trans Mountain pipeline has delivered crude oil and refined products since 1953.

Kinder Morgan is proposing to twin the line to ramp up shipments of diluted bitumen from northern Alberta that began intermittently in the late 1980s.

The $5.4 billion expansion project would nearly triple the line’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day, resulting in a seven-fold increase in oil tankers entering and leaving Vancouver harbour.

Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said Thursday the compa-

Trans Mountain pipeline expansion work near Jasper, which was completed in 2008. KINDER MORGAN CANADA ny will be seeking clarification on the timing of some of the conditions, and will file its comments to the NEB review panel Aug. 20. Most major conditions, including plans for watercourse crossings along the route, are to be filed at least 90 days before construction begins.

“Our initial review of the draft con-

ditions is that they are rigorous but achievable,” Anderson said.

NEB hearings are to resume Aug. 24, where the B.C. government is expected to formalize its position, based on Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines. They include a “world-class” spill response capability on land and sea, approval and benefit sharing by affected First Nations, and a still-undefined “fair share” of benefits for the province.

Those conditions were included in B.C.’s position opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway project, which the federal government approved with its own list of more than 200 conditions.

The province does not have authority to veto either pipeline project, as each would run from Alberta to B.C. Draft conditions for Trans Mountain include identification of all sites on the proposed second line affected by earthquake, including the “Holocene for Sumas Fault, Vedder Mountain Fault, Fraser River-Straight Creek Fault and Rocky Mountain Trench, as well as other possible hidden faults.”

Conditions also include submitting records of landowner consultation on the route, and a plan for aboriginal participation in monitoring construction.

TOM FLETCHER

The unemployment rate in B.C. held steady at six per cent in July, with a reduction in private-sector jobs offset by increased public sector employment and self-employment.

BC Stats reported that private sector employment fell by 4,500 jobs from June, while private sector jobs grew by 1,800 and the number of self-employed rose by 2,100. Compared to July 2014, self-employment was up by 9,800 while private sector employment was down 8,300.

B.C.’s unemployment rate tied with Alberta for third lowest in the country in July. Saskatchewan was lowest with 5.2 per cent and Manitoba second lowest at 5.8 per cent, compared with a national rate of 6.8 per cent. B.C.’s commodity exports increased 9.1 per cent in June, with increases in forestry products, farm and fishing products and energy. Exports were up 12.8 per cent to the U.S. and 5.1 per cent to the rest of the world.

Boxer Eric Basran recently returned from an international tournament riding an emotional roller coaster of success and heartbreak.

Basran, 16, was competing at the 15th-Annual Ringside World Championships in Kansas City Missou-

ri, a tournament that attracts boxers from around the world.

This year’s event, held from Aug. 3-8, featured 1,900 fighters from eight to 40, from beginners to experienced.

Although Basran is only 16, he fought in the 17 to 18-year-old, 114 pound (52 kg) Open category – the highest calibre for his age group.

Basran has only been boxing for two years and due to limited opponents locally and a lack of training partners, had only eight previous fights prior to the Kansas tournament.

Eric Basran, 16, with his coach Jerry Veerasammy. SUBMITTED “He has very limited experience,” said coach Jerry Veerasammy. “And at this event their are boxers from around the world with 100 or more bouts.”

In the first match of the ten-fighter division,

Basran defeated Las Vegas champion Alejandro Dominguez to advance to the second round.

He then faced Thomas Blumenfeld, the current Canadian Champion and World Medalist, a fighter Basran had

lost to at the National Championships earlier this year. In a “razor thin” decision Basran beat Blumenfeld in the final round.

But his fortune turned the following day, when he was hit by a bout of food poisoning. Tournament doctors said he could not compete in the semi-finals and his opponent was given a “walk-over” win, ending the tournament for Basran.

While disappointing, longtime coach Veerasammy remains confident in the young boxer’s bright future. ”He has tremendous long reach, good boxing eyes and an innate sense of range and he hits like a mule,” he said. “He’s gifted and a very hard worker... it’s all up to him how far he goes.”

Basran is now focusing on the Northern Alberta Gold Glove Championships in Edmonton on Oct. 3.

With eight of 25 players from North Delta, the Islanders rallied from a 4-1 deficit after one period to upset the Ridge Meadows Burrards 7-5 in the bronze medal game.

Delta was third in league play with a 12-6 win-loss record, but struggled at the provincial tournament. The Islanders were winless in the round robin, finishing fourth. They lost to the Burrards in the round robin, their fourth setback in four games against Ridge Meadows.

But after 20 minutes of their medal game, Delta found their form, scoring twice in the first minute of the second period to cut the difference to 4-3.

They then added four more goals before the Burrards could respond.

Victor Robichaud tallied four times, with Cody Hoegg adding two and Kyle McKim scoring once.

Robichaud and Bentley Barrados of the Islanders were tournament all-stars.

Hoegg and netminder Matthew Hills were named to the league allstar team, while Phillip Hladky – a native of the Czech Republic who joined the Islanders in May – posted the season’s best save percentage at .851.

‘I just continued with my life’ ▶ CURIOUS KIDS HELP ATHLETE TESSA POPOFF FIND HER DIRECTION GARY AHUJA

Children’s curiosity helped Tessa Popoff find her way.

Popoff was accustomed to kids staring at her when she was out in public. Some would approach with questions, while others were told to steer clear of her by their parents.

But one incident really stood out in her mind.

Popoff was in a clothing store when a little girl sat down beside her and began peppering her with questions.

She was shocked when the girl’s mother dragged her out of the store.

“The little girl was crying, ‘I don’t know what I did’,” Popoff recalled.

“The mom was telling her how rude she was and how horrible it was that she would talk to people in public like that. It was kind of sad to see.”

And for Popoff, a member of Canada’s sitting women’s volleyball team, it was her desire to change people’s perceptions which helped her find her way.

“When circle time came and we all sat around, I will never forget the silence that filled the room, the wide eyes and excited faces as I told the children the stories of my adventures and how I figured out ways to do it all,” Popoff said.

“I showed them the pictures of my adventures of me rock climbing, white water kayaking, and I even showed them my little accomplishments: tying my shoes with one hand or playing the guitar.”

••• ••• ••• •••

Last summer, Popoff was visiting family in Edmonton when she came across the Canadian women’s sitting volleyball team, who were in town for a training camp.

His teammates pulled off similar victories, winning every match they each played. Strong individual women’s showings from Samantha Zheng and Kylie Cheng helped round off a successful day for Team BC. “What I love about badminton is that there’s never just one style of play, everybody’s different - it’s very unique that way,” Ho said. “Nobody likes to do the same thing over and over.”

ball Nationals held in Victoria Aug. 5-9.

The team was unbeaten after six pool play games and headed to the playoffs, where they lost their first game against the host Victoria Devils.

After regrouping, the team fought back and won their next three playoff games with wins over the Oakville Angels (5-0), Waterloo Ghosts (9-2) and the host Victoria Devils (11-7) to make their way to the gold medal game against the 2001 Surrey Storm. The girls battled hard in the gold medal game but fell just short and lost 2-1 in extra innings (nine innings) to the Storm.

Rebels perfect at provincials The Surrey Rebels were a perfect fivefor-five in Kelowna, winning the Bantam A2 championship at the provincial lacrosse championships July 15-19 in Kelowna.

The Selects lost 3-1 to the Castillians in the first game of the four-team round robin tournament, but went on to defeat the Upper Island Riptide 3-2 and the Kamloops Blaze 4-0 to place second and qualify for the championship game.

▼ 11 STUDENTS WIN THIS YEAR’S EDUCATIONAL AWARDS FROM PROSPERA CREDIT UNION Marcia Atanackovic of Surrey is one of 11 high school students in B.C. to win Prospera Credit Union’s Educational Awards Program this year.

Education is one of the best ways that young people can ensure a financially sound future. Across B.C., Prospera helps students realize their dreams through the credit union’s Educational Awards Program. Every year the program distributes up to $21,000 to deserving individuals who are dedicated to helping others and planning to pursue post secondary education.

Prospera’s Educational Awards are offered in four different categories: Neutron Awards for those currently attending high school; Quasar Awards for those already attending post-secondary school; Nebula Awards for those pursuing an education in Athletics, Fine Arts or Culture; and Super Nova Awards for life-long learners who are balancing work, family and community participation while furthering their education.

Atanackovic won in the Neutron category.

Other winners are: • Neutron Award – Lin Wei Tung, Sardis; Keetyn Maxwell, Abbotsford; and Jessica Flechner-Klein, Kelowna.

• Quasar Award – Kane Larson, Vancouver; Rame Putris, Sardis; and Syndey Peters, Langley.

• Nebula Award – Erin Froese, Sardis; and Jaxon Jensen, Kelowna.

• Super Nova Award – Cooper Arnold, Chilliwack; and Pamela Hargreaves, Vernon.

Since 2012, the credit union has also given out a special award that honours long-time Prospera Credit Union director Ron Sweeney’s community spirit.

Sweeney’s dedication to community offers a shining example of the difference one person can make in the world and The Ron Sweeney Rising Star Award is given to one exceptional high school student who has made a difference for others and is pursuing a post-secondary education.

Prospera is happy to announce the 2015 Ron Sweeney Rising Star Award goes to Sydney Torok from Sardis Senior Secondary.

A Surrey rap duo is winning awards, building fans and giving back.

Best friends and rapping English majors Rick “Big Love” Kumar and Calvin “Kalvonix” Tiu are using their music to reach out to high school students.

Kumar, who just graduated from Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), and Tiu, who will graduate from KPU in 2016, recently completed a four-month high school outreach program sponsored by the KPU English department, the Faculty of Arts, and Coca-Cola.

Frontier Poetics took them to 16 high schools across the South Fraser region where they delivered a rap/spoken word/poetry workshop on the power of language, creativity, anti-bullying, lifelong friendships and becoming teachers.

Frontier Poetics was a runaway success, with more than 700 students participating in the duo’s workshop performance.

In the spirit of giving back to the community, Kumar and Tiu have also created a one-time bursary in their name to support a struggling arts student.

“Alumni give back, but Rick and Calvin’s award would be the first of its kind for undergraduate students supporting

other undergraduate students,” said KPU English instructor and Frontier Poetics manager Greg Chan. “They are also donating proceeds from the sale of their CD, Become the Dream, to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.”

Chan says this type of philanthropy is rare at the undergraduate level and speaks volumes about the men’s character and community awareness.

With support from Chan, a Faculty of Arts Excellence and Advancement award, and a Coca-Cola grant, the duo just released their first music video, Hello Farewell (http://bit.ly/1Hu4Szv), as a tribute to their university days ▶ “Alumni give and development into community role models. back, but Rick Earlier this year, the rapping and Calvin’s English majors performed Hello Farewell at KPU’s spring award would convocation ceremony, where be the first Kumar also delivered a speech as his class valedictorian. of its kind for In May, the two were awarded Top 25 Under 25 undergraduate Awards by the Surrey Board students of Trade.

The value of trees Swing into fall â–ś THEY IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF OUR PLANET AS WELL AS OURSELVES

As I sat down to write this column, I was distracted by a hummingbird dive-bombing a dragonfly in our garden.

Drawn outside to watch, I relaxed for a while in the shade of a tree, enjoying the dappled sunlight.

A robin sang melodically nearby and a red-breasted nuthatch gave its scratchy call as it inched up the bark of a cedar tree.

Distant traffic and airplane sounds were muted.

I am fortunate to live in a neighbourhood which still has many large conifers and landscaped yards, where birds sing and native bees and butterflies forage among the flowers. Trees and natural landscapes have many benefits for humans far beyond resource values.

Had I undergone a medical procedure, my ability to sit in such a garden could have been critical to recovery.

Studies show that hospital patients recover more quickly when looking at trees through a window compared with streetscapes or blank walls.

Children with hyperactivity and seniors experiencing dementia experience greater calm in natural surroundings.

Neighbourhoods with trees, parks, and gardens encourage walking and other recreation which benefit overall fitness and health.

Trees are essential in making the earth inhabitable, absorbing carbon dioxide from the air and releasing oxygen for us to breathe.

Their absorption of carbon dioxide is important in mitigating climate change.
