Memories of war still linger: ‘It never leaves you,’ vet says ▼ SURREY’S EMERSON BARDEN SERVED AS A MEDIC FOR FOUR YEARS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR JENNIFER LANG

Emerson Barden has a photo album filled with memories of his four years in the army during the Second World War. From the remote western edge of Alaska to the liberation of German-occupied Europe, Barden’s years in the army took him across the globe: Heady stuff for a kid who grew up on farms in Saskatchewan and Surrey, his hometown from the age of 10.

On Remembrance Day, he won’t be on parade from the Cloverdale Legion to the Cenotaph – he turns 92 on Nov. 23 – but he’ll be thinking of his army days and the job the Canadians did.

He signed up at age 19. After training in Victoria, he was sent to Kiska, a windswept, volcanic island in Alaska’s Aleutians, 600 miles ▶ “When they from Japan.

getting haircuts on the tundra – or posing in deep shell craters.

A Japanese postcard is preserved in its pages, along with poems written by fellow servicemen – their creativity sparked by the harsh conditions.

Kiska was invaded in 1942. When 34,400 U.S. and Canadian forces landed in August 1943, they were expecting to meet resistance, but soon realized the island had been abandoned. A booby trap killed one of the commanding officers.

From Alaska, Barden was sent to Liverpool, then to France (Normandy), Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, as the Allies pushed the Germans back.

His pictures show Dutch homes and bridges reduced to rubble; a downed German plane in a field.

Barden was a medic, a job that brought him close to danger – but never more so than the day the Germans blew a hole in a dyke.

“When they hollered, you went,” he says. “It didn’t matter if there were bullets flying or not.”

Carrying out his duties, he’d paused without knowing exactly why, and felt two bullets shoot past his forehead.

He remembers his first impression of Holland as a soldier – a woman wearing wooden shoes who was using a rope

to pull a barge down a canal.

Other, darker memories linger as well.

“Well, it never leaves you,” Barden says simply.

He has returned to the Netherlands since then, as a tourist and as a veteran, and is touched by the depth of feeling shown for the Canadians who helped end the occupation.

In 2005, he went back for the 50th anniversary of the liberation, forging new memories of cemeteries filled with foreign dead that are tended with devotion by Dutch school children and grateful citizens. One man picked up a bar tab for a huge assembly of Canadian veterans, exclaiming their money was no good.

A friend in the Netherlands mailed him news clippings from the 70th anniversary celebrations in June. “Liberators from a distant land,” reads one headline. “We follow the Canadian veterans during what is possibly their last visit to the Netherlands.”

He and his wife Pat, an Air Force veteran, had four children. He lives in Cloverdale and is a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6.

▶ FIELD TRIP A TWOWEEK HISTORY LESSON from page 1

The North Delta student realized it was on that ground, 99 years earlier, on the first day of the Battle of the Somme during the First World War, that almost the entire Royal Newfoundland Regiment was wiped out in just 20 minutes.

Only 68 men answered roll call the next day. Nearly 800 had set out.

Jones, who this past August visited Canadian and Allied battlefields from both world wars in Europe, compares the event on July 1, 1916 to a decimation of her peers at Delview Secondary. “(My great-grandfather), along with thousands of others, were teenagers just like me,” she wrote before going to the battlefield. “It is unimaginable for me to think about losing my entire graduating class to war.”

▶ GREAT-GRANDFATHER VERY RARELY TALKED ABOUT THE WAR from page 4

She visited John McCrae’s dressing station in Essex Farm, Ypres, where the Canadian doctor was inspired to write the iconic poem “In Flanders Fields” in 1915.

In one isolated archaeological dig at Maison Blanche Souterraine just west of Vimy Ridge, Jones saw 100-yearold graffiti that would have made any soldier’s mother blush.

“The guys in our group found them hilarious,” she says with a chuckle.

More serious was a visit to a garden where the late owner, a Frenchwoman, found the bodies of 27 Canadians massacred by German soldiers during the Second World War. While many of the stops – sometimes five a day – became a blur, Vimy Ridge was a big one Jones remembers well.

“It was just crazy going up this giant hill and trying to understand why (Canadians) wanted it so badly. (But) when you go around the front side of the monument, you can see everything in the area.”

The battle of Vimy Ridge, which took place in April 1917, is said to have forged Canadian identity – it gave the country an unprecedented sense of pride after its four divisions took the heights that their allies didn’t in the previous two years of battlefield attrition.

“The monument itself is beautiful,” Jones says.

“There are so many intricate little details carved into it, including a list of names.”

One name not on it, nor on any Canadian memorial, is artilleryman William “Poppy” Janes (sic), Jones’ great-grandfather, who survived the war and lived until 2002, when Jones was four years old.

“He very, very rarely talked about the war,” says Jones’ mother Kim. “He was a Newfoundlander, so when he had a beer or two, his stories would come out, and he would often end up crying.”

Poppy once told his family how a German soldier, dying on a battlefield, showed him a picture of a woman – Poppy assumed it was his wife, as he didn’t understand what the German was saying.

Port Metro Vancouver’s Delta Community Office 5225A Ladner Trunk Road, Trenant Park Square Tel: 604.665.9635 After some battles in the First World War, the Canadians scavenged the fields, Kim says.

“They used to take the bullets and whatever they could. My grandfather said if the Americans hadn’t come, they would’ve lost the war. They were running out of shoes, they were running out of bullets, they were running out of everything.” “(Poppy) did say once that we never should have been there, we were just children,” adds Kim. But mostly, he kept

quiet about the war.

“The same thing happened when we talked to veterans at Dieppe,” recalls Jones. “We would try to ask them questions and they wouldn’t (answer) – they’d talk about it for a second and then they’d change the subject.”

Jones came home with photos, trinkets and a heap of knowledge of history she plans to share with high school students – even while going to SFU this fall.

(She hopes to become a teacher).

“(The soldiers) gave up their lives,” she says.

The least we can do is remember them.”

Jones also brought home three jars filled with sand from Juno and Omaha beaches and stones from the beach at Dieppe, sites of Second World War battles.

Her great-grandfather, Poppy, “would’ve been so proud of Carson going,” says Kim. For more information about the Beaverbrook Vimy Prize or to apply for 2016, visit www. vimyfoundation.ca/

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday November 11 2015

Honour our heroes With Halloween behind us, stores and homeowners are already preparing for the Christmas season.

Displays are creeping into the shopping malls, decorations and holiday lights are adorning houses, and gift wish lists are being created.

But between the sugar rush of Halloween and the consumer crush of Christmas lies a date that can often be lost in all the consumer hype – Remembrance Day is upon us.

On Wednesday, Nov. 11, ceremonies will be held, wreaths will be placed and veterans will don their uniforms in respect for the sacrifices made by the men and women who have defended democracy over the decades.

Many are still risking their lives to preserve our rights and keep us safe. Too many have paid the ultimate price.

Memorial ceremonies are taking place not only in Surrey and North Delta, or Canada, but throughout the Commonwealth.

One hour out of one day hardly seems like an onerous task for the public to say thank you and to remember.

But is the true significance of Remembrance Day becoming lost on a new generation of Canadians?

The First World War has already slipped from memory to history for most, and in a few years, as veterans continue to age and pass on, the same will occur with the Second World War. Do youth truly understand the sacrifices made by their grandparents and great-grandparents? Do they understand the sacrifices still being made today in the modern theatres of war?

One local teen – 17-year-old Carson Jones – surely does.

As one of a group of 15 Canadian students selected by the Vimy Foundation to tour historical war sites in France, Belgium and England this summer, Jones came away

RAESIDE

with a powerful impression of the cost of conflict.

Jones learned that nearly 100 years ago, on the first day of the Battle of The Somme in France during the First World War, 800 men set out to fight.

Only 68 answered roll call the next day.

Her great-grandfather survived that slaughter, and others, but thousands more did not.

“It is unimaginable for me to think about losing my entire graduating class to war,” the Delview Secondary graduate said.

In this modern age, joining the Armed Forces may not have the same emotional impact on those left behind as it once did. After all, many youth understand war through the eyes of a video console, where realistic games allow them to be “heroes” on the TV screen.

On Nov. 11, let’s remember the real heroes.

Conservation officers a thin green line BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

The B.C. government declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer “game wardens.”

This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people.

The ceremony at the B.C. legislature included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving.

One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far from shore.

The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found “extremely hypothermic” at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A

second angler didn’t make it to shore.

An exemplary service medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP officers and paramedics on Sept. 6, as they treated a hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area. As darkness fell, Kneller found a second injured hunter, got the group together, built a fire and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lifted the hunters out at 3 a.m.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report from the B.C. Government Employees’ Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002.

Not so, replied Environment Minister Mary Polak. The number has “hovered around 148” in that time, she said, including seasonal staff for peak hunting and fishing periods.

Polak said extra investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people aren’t sitting

in offices waiting for the phone to ring.

They patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital.

Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a “donation” of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforcement this summer, adding more seasonal CO days. “What’s next, bake sales?” he said.

The real story is a bit more complicated. In March I reported that the B.C. Liberal government finally made good on a decade-old promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fishing licence sales to the society.

Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the government finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Campbell’s government, a period of what Bennett called “religious zeal” for privatization.

The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement.

This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working.

The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach.

It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

They don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

▼ RETURNED WALLET RESTORES FAITH IN HUMANITY Recently my nephew lost a wallet in Surrey with more than $700 in it. A 17-year-old young man found him on Facebook and returned it.

Here’s what my nephew said: My faith in humanity is restored.

Last night my wallet fell out of my car in a parking lot and I drove away with out knowing it. The wallet contained over $700 Cdn. and $86 U.S. ready to be deposited into the ATM, along with my crane licence, drivers licence, bank cards etc...

When I went back to where it fell, it was gone and there was nothing left to

do but accept the loss.

A couple hours later I received a message on Facebook from a stranger.

When this 17-year-old guy returned my wallet to me, not only was every single dollar still in it but he refused to accept any kind of reward. He said, “The satisfaction of knowing you got it back is all I want.”

It wasn’t enough to insist that he accept a reward, I had to argue with him to get him to accept $50, which he finally did.

Absolutely amazing. That kid’s my hero!

▼ SO PLEASED WITH THE COMPASSION OF CITIZENS On Nov. 5 around 2 p.m. at 122 Street and 75 Avenue in Surrey, my car blew a tire. I called a tow truck, but a very kind gentleman and his young son Yousef, along with another helpful fellow walking by, insisted that they could do the job and told me to cancel the $53 tow truck request.

Another guy even came down the road to offer assistance, but the other two said they were okay.

Wow... I was so pleased with the compassion of Surrey citizens to help another citizen. They worked as a team and I offered to reward them but they refused.

God bless all of them and I hope they share with their families that they really made a stranger’s day.

▼ YOUTH REPORT IS VITAL Many thanks to the SurreyCares Foundation for its Youth Vital Signs report (“Half of youth are happy living in Surrey: Report,” The Leader, Nov. 6.

I’ve been teaching at Kwantlen for years, so it was no surprise to me that many respondents said more funding was needed for post-secondary education in Surrey.

We’ve been shortchanged in this area for decades. As the

Vital Signs report notes, for every 100 18- to 24-year-olds in our region, local post-secondaries get funding for 12.7 seats – one-quarter of the 48.7 seats for every 100 in that age group elsewhere in B.C. that the rest of the province gets.

If we really want the future to live here, we’ve got to fix this. Let your MLA know that this is a priority for you.

‘I believe we will find peace’ Imagine a world with peace – Such a delight!

It would never be gloomy, the sun would shine bright.

Everyone would be happy and kind and free; I would just love no war! The world would be happy.

The skies would be bright with no clouds in the sky; And everyone would smile and always stop and say “hi,” and no one would ever cry.

There would be no gunfire, just the softest birds chirping happily and the laughter of friends; I hope in the future the wars will all end.

So listen closely to what I say, it could affect you in such a big way: Be polite to all beings and respectful of things and I believe we will find peace.

A young letter writer shares her optimism for the future.

Trophy hunts are adverse to 21stcentury morals ▶ SPEAK UP FOR B.C.’S BEAUTIFUL, ICONIC GRIZZLY BEARS Re: Grizzly bear trophy hunt.

Just in time for this fall’s government-sponsored grizzly bear trophy hunt, which is taking place right now, an Insights West poll indicates that support for ending the twice-annual event has grown in this province to above 90 per cent.

In fact, the poll also found in its survey of residents from all areas of the province that just a meagre two per cent of respondents remain strongly in favor of trophy hunting.

It’s no wonder to me that trophy hunting is becoming less and less palatable to people.

Most of us would never care to hunt down any wild animal just to kill it, especially when we are all aware that our wildlife and wild places are quickly diminishing as a result of our own human ingress into their habitat for all manner of reasons including logging, oil and gas development, recreation and even our own habitation.

The thought that some people want to go and hunt an animal down just for the sake of selfies and take-

FILE PHOTO

home body parts to hang on a wall is completely self-serving, arrogant and adverse to 21st-century morals.

But even though our iconic bears have the support of the vast majority of the B.C. population, the odds are still stacked heavily against them since trophy hunt lobbyists are permitted to continually grease the palms of the very politicians that are in charge of regulating the hunt.

Premier Christy Clark herself was the guest of honour at the 2012 Guide Outfitters Association (GOABC) convention.

And Minister of Energy and Mines, Bill Bennett has proclaimed to his East Kootenay constituents that he will defend the trophy hunt as long as he is an MLA. A public list of these donations totalling tens of thousands of dollars from GOABC to political parties can be viewed at the Elections BC website.

I encourage the other 90 per cent of people in this province, wherever you are, to speak up for our beautiful, iconic grizzly bears.

Together we will end this outdated and unethical practice of killing grizzly bears for fun.

▼ LICENSE AND REGULATE BICYCLES JUST LIKE VEHICLES Enough about cyclists already. They need to be licensed and regulated just like vehicles. This is what I propose: • Annual licence fee of $100. Before cyclists get the licence, the bike should be inspected to make sure it is safe and meets all safety regulations (see below).

• Rear mudguards on all bicycles.

Should have reflective stripes on the rear guard so that the cyclist can be seen at night.

• Front light:.

Most cyclists still do not have any lights in the front. They all need to have light in the front.

• Horn / bell on the handlebar to warn pedestrians.

• Must flow with the traffic, not against it. In other words, keep right.

• Safety helmets to be worn at all times With these few safety standards, all will be safe on the roads.

▶ GUNFIRE COMES AT A RATE OF MORE THAN ONE PER WEEK, AS POLICE APPEAL FOR INFORMATION REGARDING THE PERPETRATORS KEVIN DIAKIW

Shots rang out in Newton Sunday afternoon as two cars exchanged gunfire, bringing the total number of shootings in Surrey this year to 43.

That amounts to more than a shooting a week.

The Surrey RCMP was called to 72 Avenue and 124 Street on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 2:35 p.m. after gunfire was heard.

Witnesses said two vehicles were stopped while one shot at the other.

One vehicle involved was described as a dark-coloured SUV with an Alberta licence plate of K80 469. The second vehicle directly involved was described

as a dark-coloured Honda.

Both vehicles were last seen speeding off westbound on 72 Avenue.

During the incident, two other vehicles, not involved in the incident, were struck by one of the suspect vehicles and sustained minor damage.

No one in those vehicles was hurt.

Surrey RCMP, along with Delta Police, made extensive patrols of the area but were unable to locate the two suspect vehicles.

“Regardless of the motive for this incident, violent crime suppression continues to be the top priority for this detachment,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann.

Surrey records 43rd shooting this year

A man is in critical condition after being stabbed with a knife in Whalley.

On Monday, at about 3:20 a.m., Surrey RCMP were called after reports of screams heard from two groups of people fighting at 108 Avenue and 132 Street.

When police arrived, they found a man in his 20s suffering from a serious gash to his chest.

Three suspects, two men and a woman, all in their early 20s, were arrested at the scene.

The victim was taken to hospital where he remained in serious condition on Monday.

First reports indicat-

ed the fight may have been from an ongoing dispute between the two groups.

Evidence was located on the roadway and is still in the process of being identified and collected by the Integrated Forensics Identification Section.

Police are appealing for any witnesses to this incident to come forward.

North Surrey home of 15-year-old girl last week.

Surrey RCMP are asking for public assistance in identifying a man who tried to push his way into the girl’s home in the 13300-block of Sutton Place on Friday.

At about 2:15 p.m., Surrey Mounties responded to a report of a home invasion.

Police say a man approached the girl outside her home, spoke with her and attempted to force his way into her home.

A minor struggle ensued and she called out for help.

The man then fled in his vehicle.

The teen is uninjured, but distraught.

“We do not believe this to be a random act and as a result have taken steps to ensure the victim’s safety out of an abundance of caution,” said Cpl. Scotty Schumann.

“Anyone with further information about this individual or incident is asked to contact our investigators.”

The male suspect is described as South Asian, 25-30 years old, approximately 5’8”, with a medium build and unkempt black hair.

He was wearing a long-sleeved black jacket with blue jeans and sandals. His vehicle is described as an older-model, compact, black car, possibly a Honda Civic.

jinder Singh Bahia, as well a Surrey woman named Tanpreet Kaur Athwal and Burnaby’s Eduard Viktorovitch Baranec, are charged with first-degree murder in connection with her death.

Amanpreet was 33 when she was found dead in a pool of blood in her Newton home. Police called the fatal attack “brutal” and “violent.”

It was late morning Feb. 7, 2007 when some family members returned from an outing to find Amanpreet in the downstairs suite of the two-storey green house near 125 Street and 58 Avenue.

The youngest two of her three young daughters were home at the time, left alone for three hours with their mother’s lifeless body.

Police said Amanpreet’s husband and other family members

Arrests did not come quickly.

It wasn’t until four years later – in February 2011 – that police announced Bahia, Baranec and Athwal had been charged in the murder.

Police revealed the husband had been a “person of interest”

early on and that the investigation had been advanced in late 2010 by information provided by the Saskatchewan RCMP. The trio was ordered to stand trial after a preliminary hearing of the evidence in Surrey Provincial Court in May 2012.

The trial was then scheduled to begin in January 2014, but was delayed.

While Bahia and Baranec are scheduled to go to trial beginning Feb. 1, Athwal’s trial is slated to start May 2.

It’s believed both will trials will take place in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Watch your speed KEVIN DIAKIW

Drive the speed limit and you may still get a ticket.

Police are now focusing on drivers travelling too fast for the road conditions.

That means if it’s foggy, wet or icy, you could still get a ticket – even though you haven’t exceeded the speed limit.

Under those conditions, police expect you to slow to a safe speed below the posted limit. Failure to do so could result in a $167 fine and three demerit points on your insurance.

From Oct. 1, 2014 to March 31, 2015, police across B.C. issued more than 460 violation tickets to drivers travelling too fast for the road conditions.

Police are also reminding drivers to ensure they have their head and tail lights on.

They also urge pedestrians to make sure they are visible by wearing brightly coloured clothing and reflectors and not to asume they can be seen by motorists.

Chilliwack RCMP are looking for a Surrey man who allegedly assaulted and abducted a woman from a home in Yarrow on Thursday.

Montgomery James Ash is facing a number of charges, including kidnapping, assault with a weapon and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm.

The incident began at around 4:15 a.m.

Thursday (Nov. 5) when police received a report of a break and enter. When RCMP arrived they found a male who told police he had been assaulted by the suspect. He said the suspect had forced his way into the home and abducted a female from the house.

Supported by RCMP investigators of the General Investigation Support Team and the UFVRD Serious Crime Unit, police initiated a multi-jurisdictional search for the missing woman.

She was found approximately one hour later in Surrey.

Both victims were examined for non-life threatening injuries and released from hospital.

“The suspect is known to the victims and the incident was targeted,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. “Police caution anyone who thinks they have seen Ash not to approach him and call police or 911.”

Ash is described as a Caucasian male, 5’9”, 170 lbs, with blue eyes, brown hair with short shaved hair and an athletic build.

Anyone with any information as to the whereabouts of Montgomery James Ash is asked to contact their local police or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

A 28-year-old Surrey man has been arrested for purse snatching in Vancouver and is being investigated for five others in that city.

Last Tuesday, Vancouver police arrested Surrey’s Calder Green and charged him in relation to a purse snatching. It came after a string of robberies in Vancouver.

Police swarmed the Chinatown area after receiving reports of a purse snatcher targeting older Asian women.

At about 3 p.m. Nov. 3, police spotted a man as he robbed an 85-year-old woman at Gore Avenue and Keefer Street. The woman suffered minor injuries after being pushed to the ground. As he fled, police followed him to the 200-block of East

A man who rammed his truck into two police cars, injuring a pair of Mounties in a Surrey parking lot last year, has been found guilty of four charges.

Minchin said Const.

Vicken Movsessian, who was working with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU) at the time, was a passenger in an unmarked car that arrived at the scene that day.

Minchin alleges the police officer approached the Toyota Camry he was in and “suddenly and without warning” pulled out his gun and fired at him.

The lawsuit says Minchin was struck in the left chest area and taken to hospital for treatment.

He claims he suf-

fered nerve damage, permanent loss of arm and shoulder function, scarring and disfigurement, among other injuries and pain for which he is seeking general damages.

He also seeks punitive damages. “…the defendant was willful, malicious, contemptuous and high-handed, and showed a wanton disregard of the personal rights of the plaintiff,” says the lawsuit, which also names the Corporation of Delta and the province as defendants.

None of the allegations have been proven in court and a

response has yet to be filed as of last week.

Movsessian, 46, was also charged criminally last spring with careless use of a firearm in connection with the shooting, following an investigation by the IIO (Independent Investigations Office) of B.C., which examines all police officer-related incidents that result in serious harm or death. His trial for that matter is scheduled for 12 days beginning in October 2016.

Movsessian has been on administrative leave since the incident.

Massey bridge process defended ▶ FINAL ‘GO OR NO GO’ DECISION STILL TO COME, SAYS TRANSPORTATION MINISTER JEFF NAGEL

Transportation Minister Todd Stone is defending the province’s method of planning major projects such as the Massey Bridge, saying it is standard procedure to announce the government’s intent to proceed before a business plan is fleshed out.

The government has been under fire after freedom of information requests failed to turn up any preliminary rationale to justify Premier Christy Clark’s announcements in 2012 and 2013 that the George Massey Tunnel would be replaced with a new bridge.

“It always starts with a statement of political intent,” Stone said, referring to the premier’s announcement. “You put your marker down.

You establish your political intent. You then engage the public and the stakeholders extensively, refine the scope. Then build your business case from there. You release all that and you then get on with building the project.”

Independent MLA Vicki Huntington argued it defies logic that the government could embark on a $3-billion project without any supporting reports or analysis.

Asked if that type of material exists, Stone said there would be cabinet advice documents.

Stone said hundreds of pages of documents have been posted to the project website as part of two rounds of consultation on whether a replacement was needed and then what configuration it should take.

He said it would be “simply wrong” to proceed in reverse order with a business case first because that would mean announcing “fully baked projects” without any chance for the public or stakeholders to shape the outcome.

There is still no business case for the project, but Stone said that will be released

TransLink to replace fume-prone shuttles ▶ EMISSIONS MADE DRIVERS, PASSENGERS ILL JEFF NAGEL

The snow and ice season is here… have you checked your tires lately?

Tire type, tread wear and air pressure are important factors to consider to ensure a safer driving experience during snow and icy conditions.

For more information, including Surrey’s Snow & Ice Operations Coverage Area and Policy, please visit the City of Surrey website.

TransLink will spend $9.35 million from the federal gas tax fund to replace 62 defective diesel community shuttles after recurring complaints about exhaust fumes that were making drivers sick.

The use of the fund was approved by Metro Vancouver directors last month and the replacement vehicles are expected to arrive next spring.

The offending shuttles are two to three years old and there

have been transit service delays at times when they’ve had to be pulled from service.

According to TransLink, the replacement shuttles are “urgently required due to growing concerns over the emission problems.”

The transportation authority said operators have been booking off sick because of large amounts of fumes, adding there have also been growing public complaints about excessive tailpipe smoke.

The fumes had also led to orders from WorkSafeBC on minimizing risk to staff and passengers.

The new shuttles will be powered by gasoline instead of diesel.

Gas-powered shuttles cost less than diesel models – about $140,000 instead of $250,000 – but don’t last as long, with a five-year lifespan instead of seven. TransLink expects lower operating costs.

TransLink is still trying to fix the defective diesel shuttles and doesn’t rule out returning them to service if possible.

Trouble with those shuttles isn’t unique to TransLink – class-action lawsuits are in progress in other jurisdictions against the manufacturer.

▶ PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL WAS PREPARED from page 13

Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation B.C. Director Jordan Bateman said it’s “troubling” that the business case is taking so long and that the province failed to publicly release the basis for Clark’s announcement when it was made.

“If she was floating an idea that a Massey Bridge would be good and ‘we’re going to look into it’ – if that was the statement, that’s one thing. But she very clearly made the commitment,” Bateman said.

“It flies in the face of what the B.C. Liberals practised when they first came to power,

which was trying to make business-style decisions.”

He said the province should have developed some sort of preliminary business case to determine if the project appeared viable and then announce a process to explore the options to replace or rehabilitate the tunnel rather than

firmly declaring from the outset it would be replaced.

He noted some material was prepared before Clark’s announcement – artist’s renderings of what the new bridge might look like, backdrops for the premier to stand in front of and promotional signs on Highway 99.

Big rig truck park unlikely to proceed: Langley ▶ ‘ACTIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT CONTROVERSY AT MEETING WITH SURREY COUNTERPARTS DAN FERGUSON

The odds are against a controversial proposal to build a 77-acre truck park on 16 Avenue at the Surrey-Langley border, based on what members of Surrey council have told their Langley Township counterparts.

“It may not even get to council,” Langley Mayor Jack Froese said following a dinner meeting of the two councils in late October.

Froese said there was “quite Tom Gill an active discussion” at the informal session with Surrey council about the notion of a heavy truck facility in the area south of 16 Avenue near 192 Street.

Froese said he was told that the truck park proposal might not even make it to Surrey council because of the various regulatory hurdles it would have to clear.

“They (project proponents) have a long road to go,” Froese said.

At the meeting, Township Coun. Bob Long said Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner promised as a “good neighbour” to keep Langley Township updated.

Opponents of the proposal have warned the truck park could damage the nearby Little Campbell River, a salmon and trout spawning area.

Brian Coote, of Friends of Hazelmere Campbell Valley, told an Oct. 19 meeting of Township council that the truck park could contaminate groundwater and called on Langley to formally oppose the proposal.

Another critic, Sofi

Hindmarch, told the same meeting the parking facility is in an ecologically sensitive area where at least 13 and as many as 22 threatened species live.

Coun. Kim Richter proposed a council vote to condemn the project, but agreed to a postponement in light of the discussion with Surrey.

Richter said said her take on the dinner meeting is that Surrey councillors view big rig parking as a major issue that needs to be resolved and they consider it a regional problem that the provincial government should address.

Details of the meeting with Surrey were revealed during debate at the Nov. 2 evening meeting of Township council, which voted to put off taking a position on the project until there is a detailed plan to look at, assuming the proposal ever gets to that stage.

Council did vote to have Township staff communicate with their Surrey counterparts about the proposal.

The idea first surfaced at Surrey council during discussion of industrial development in the South Campbell Heights area.

It came from Surrey Coun. Tom Gill, who said with an estimated 1,300 big rigs parking illegally throughout the city, something needs to be done to find parking spaces.

The truck park would allow truckers to wash their rigs, change oil and tires, and would include washroom facilities.

Gill said he would insist on the highest environmental standards so there would be no impact on the Little Campbell River.

Phillip Milligan, president of the Little Campbell Watershed Society, said the Little

Campbell River is an important salmon spawning area, home to spring, coho and chum salmon, as well as steelhead and cutthroat trout.

“The Little Campbell, believe it or not, is one of the most productive steelhead rivers in the Lower Mainland,” Milligan said.

Because it’s a relatively small river, any pollutants entering the water could be

devastating for the fish population, he said.

“How do they keep the effluent, all the chemicals, all the brake fluids, the antifreeze — how to they keep all of the oils out of the river?”

The development plan would have to undergo a public hearing before it could come to council for approval.

Neighbours delay Surrey cemetery plan ▶ COUNCIL SENDS DEVELOPMENT PLAN BACK TO STAFF TO CLARIFY USES KEVIN DIAKIW

Emotional pleas from neighbours have sent a plan to build a cemetery in South Surrey back to city staff.

A developer is look-

ing to build a cemetery on four hectares (11 acres) of land next to the existing Hazelmere cemetery on 19082 16 Ave. Carmella Sandhu lives right across the

street, and is currently trying to sell her property.

She told Surrey council at a public hearing last Monday (Nov. 2) that a couple of people have backed out of buying her home when they found out the cemetery was planned.

“We definitely oppose

this application,” Sandhu said.

She told council her family never would have bought the property nine years

ago had they known there would be a large cemetery planned for across the street, which is now an agricultural zone.

Douglas College students and faculty are among a group of 20 who are in Uganda for the next six months.

The college received federal funding to host the International Youth Initiative Program that will see post-secondary graduates from across Canada complete internships in the East African country while gaining experience in education, health and social services. They left for Uganda on Sept. 23.

“This is a way for Canadian students to gain life experience,” says Douglas College instructor Janice Spencer, who is heading the project with fellow faculty member John Fox. “We’re all going in as learners.”

The 28-week paid internships are broken into three job categories: community education worker, community health worker and community social service worker. Students will use their skills as bridge-builders in the community while taking on various projects – including working with local, grass-root organizers, the Masaka Regional Hospital and the Uganda Community Libraries Association.

“We will be supporting the identified needs in the community and working to fill the gap,” Spencer said.

Douglas College student and Surrey resident Melissa Pulach returned to Uganda after 12 months. Pulach, who is in the Child and Youth Care Counsellor program, previously volunteered with the college’s Uganda Project.

“I’m so excited to go back,” she said prior to leaving. “I fell in love with Uganda – not just the country, but the people and the culture.”

The federal funding will send 40 interns in total over the next two years and will support intern salaries, travel and accommodations, as well as faculty time and travel. In order to qualify, Canadian youth must be between the ages of 19 to 30 and be post-secondary graduates of a diploma or degree program.

Some ‘positive ideas’ for 70 years of marriage ▶ HAZEL AND ERNIE MCBRATNEY MARRIED IN 1945 MELISSA SMALLEY

Learning to accept that life may not always be “smooth sailing” is one of the keys to a long and happy marriage, according to a South Surrey couple set to celebrate their 70th anniversary this weekend.

Seven decades of marriage hasn’t always been easy for Ernie and Hazel McBratney, the couple told Black Press recently as their milestone anniversary on Nov. 15 approached.

“You have to learn to take the ups and the downs,” Hazel, 88, said. “You don’t expect everything to be perfect all the time.”

Ernie, 92, agreed, adding compromise is one of the most important things a couple can do to make it through the “ups and downs.”

The McBratneys met in Prince Rupert in February 1945, where Ernie was stationed with the Navy and

▶ “My philosophy is always get rid of negative ideas, and use positive ideas for success.”

ERNIE MCBRATNEY

Hazel was working at the post office.

As Ernie recalls it, an attempt to use his status as a serviceman to skip the post office queue backfired, when he called out ‘hey red!’ to the “beautiful red-headed woman” working behind the counter.

“She took six strips off of me, said her hair wasn’t red, that it was auburn,” he said with a laugh, noting it took two months for Hazel to agree to go to an Airforce dance with him.

After they were married that fall, the couple returned to the Lower Mainland, where they raised four children in south Burnaby. Ernie worked

his way up the ranks as a senior buyer for Woodwards, where he stayed for nearly 40 years before he retired and the couple moved to South Surrey.

Early in their retirement years, the couple were enthusiastic travellers – by boat, motorhome and airplane – listing the Panama Canal, Hawaii and Mexico as some of their favourite destinations.

A believer in the power of staying positive, Ernie published a book of inspirational quotes and phrases about a decade ago, as a means of sharing his optimistic outlook with friends and family.

The McBratneys – who proudly boast seven grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, with another on the way in December – both agreed that such an upbeat approach has helped them navigate some of life’s bumpiest roads.

“My philosophy is always get rid of negative ideas, and use positive ideas for success,” Ernie said.

Trauma K9 lends a helping paw to assault victims ▶ DOGS ALSO HIGHLY TRAINED TO ASSIST MOBILITY, HEARING OR OTHERWISE IMPAIRED CLIENTS TRACY HOLMES

At seven years old, brothers Caber and Tartan leave a lasting impression – and it’s not just because of their striking good looks.

The yellow Labrador retrievers – both highly trained assistance dogs – change lives.

As Canada’s first Trauma K9, Caber helps victims of crime, including, as of this past May, by providing support to young sexual-assault victims in the courtroom.

With just two trials at Surrey Provincial Court under his collar so far, it’s obvious to handler Kim Gramlich – co-ordinator of Victim Services for Delta Police – that Caber’s skills are invaluable.

“In both cases, the witnesses outside of the courtroom on breaks were struggling,” Gramlich said, noting both were ready to walk away from the emotional and traumatic experience without finishing their testimony.

With Caber at each girl’s side, however, they got through.

“On both cases, we really felt Caber was instrumental. He really helped them find that fortitude to go on.”

Caber and Tartan – both raised and trained through Burnaby-based Pacific Assistance Dogs Society – were in South Surrey Wednesday with Gramlich and Coquitlam resident Karen Bryon to share their skills with Rotary Club of South Surrey members.

Tartan, raised from puppyhood

by PADS volunteer Bryon, is an official demonstration dog for the society, helping spread awareness of the PADS program by showing firsthand just how much assistance

four-legged friends can provide to mobility, hearing or otherwise impaired clients.

Last Wednesday, he alerted Bryon to a telephone ringing and a smoke alarm; turned lights on and off; opened and closed a small fridge; retrieved and gently delivered an item from the floor; and helped her take off a sock.

While Tartan performed the tasks with ease, Gramlich pointed out that he had to know “quite a sequence” of commands to pull some of them off, including look, get, hold, bring and give – skills PADS’ dogs learn through extensive training.

Questions from Rotary members included one about etiquette – how the general public should treat a PADS dog, when one of the blue-vested companions is spotted with his or her client companion.

Noting the dogs are typically concentrating on the important task of keeping their companions safe, Gramlich said it’s best to simply leave them be.

Don’t pet them, she said, “because distracting the dog from what it’s doing could be very problematic.”

PADS’ latest canine graduates were celebrated in a ceremony Sept. 27.

It’s an event that always brings attendees to tears, said Gramlich and Bryon, as puppy raisers say goodbye to their charges, and the success of a client match is marked.

But while it is “heartbreaking” to say goodbye to a PADS puppy, it’s also rewarding, Bryon said.

“When you see these dogs with a client and how they’ve changed their lives, it’s worth every bit of it,” Bryon said.

For more information about PADS, or to donate – PADS relies heavily on donations to cover the costs of raising and training its dogs – visit www.pads.ca The Burnaby facility will also host an open house from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Dec. 5, at 9048 Stormont Ave.

DIANE For six years, Diane, a mom of five, was on the run from an abusive ex-partner. During those years, she and her kids ended up homeless in local women’s shelters a number of times.

“It’s really hard because everybody judges you,” she said. “But it could happen to anybody. It’s just the choices you make.”

Two years ago, Diane started coming to Surrey Urban Mission for meals. With their help, Diane took advantage of subsidized housing and went back to school. When she finished her schooling, she was offered two jobs, both of which she now works to make ends meet.

Every month, she still has to choose whether to pay for rent or hydro first, but she has gained financial independence. And with the support of the Mission, she has hope that she can keep moving forward.

Mobile clinics pioneered by Fraser Health to help seniors avoid dangerous falls and stay active longer will be rolled out across the province.

The mobile labs bring imaging instruments like X-ray body scans and fall-risk assessment tools to individu-

al communities.

Seniors can meet with nurses, pharmacists, kinesiologists and physiotherapists to get various tests involving strength, balance, vision, blood pressure, a medication review and a diet evaluation focused on calcium and vitamin D. They leave with a personalized activity program.

“There are four key ways to prevent falls as a senior: get your eyes checked, make your home safer, get regular exercise – including

strength and balance training – and ask your doctor or pharmacist to review your medications,” said Fabio Feldman, manager of Fraser Health’s falls and injury prevention program.

“Following this simple advice could save you, or someone you love, the pain and suffering of a dangerous fall.”

The mobile clinics first launched in Fraser Health but increased provincial funding will allow them to go province-wide by 2018.

Seniors can contact their GP for a referral for the next time the clinics come to their area.

Each year, one-third of B.C. seniors fall, and 4,000 seniors who fall sustain a hip fracture.

Falls are the top cause of injury-related deaths in seniors in B.C., and 20 per cent of older people who fall and fracture a hip do not survive.

Surrey will be welcoming the world ▶ 2016 WOMEN’S WORLD SOFTBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS SET FOR SOFTBALL CITY KOLBY SOLINSKY

The world is coming to Surrey, and the reason why has been years in the making.

“It’s amazing to me, I find it a phenomenon, how hard everybody is working,” said Greg Timm, committee chairman for the Women’s World Softball Championship, which will take place next July at Surrey’s Softball City sporting complex.

At the tournament, a record 30 international teams – it’s normally 16 at the World Championship – will compete for the sport’s crown.

“It’s been a great learning effort for everybody and we really think we’re going to run a tournament here that the world has never seen,” Timm said. “We’re inviting the world.”

It’s the same venue normally reserved for the annual Canadian Open, a summer staple for Surrey and B.C.’s softball community – and the Canadian softball community. But the World Championship is guaranteed to showcase the best of the sport’s best, said Timm, and Canada will enter the melee as the defending Pan Am Games gold medallist.

“This time around, they have the best team they’ve ever had, in my opinion,” he said.

“If the athletes are ready and healthy in Surrey next year, we’re going to have an awfully proud Canadian contingent... people that want to wave the red and white flags here.”

To fit the tournament and its guests, which include some of the world’s most talented underhand-whirling nations and the sport’s absolute best athletes, the City of Surrey is spending $1.3 million to improve the grounds at Softball City.

“We’ll make this an absolute diamond in the crown,” said Owen Croy, manager with Surrey’s parks department. “(Softball City) is of course set within a beautiful large park... the renovations and upgrades will be a legacy for softball players into the future.”

Croy said the million-plus will be used to improve the ground’s fields, backstops, dugouts, lighting system and the buildings, while Timm said the upgraded diamonds will have new dirt, irrigation, and drainage.

And maybe, he said, the washrooms will be fixed, too.

“We’ve read and received mail and feedback about the washrooms,” said Timm.

“We will have them completely renovated and cleaned up.”

Softball City may be a landmark within South Surrey, the North Star of the city’s sporting map, but it’s also 25 years old.

“Like all facilities that have been around for a while, it needed a little bit of refurbishment to make it absolutely world-

“I’m really excited because it’s going to showcase Surrey... to have it here in Surrey, I’m very proud that it’s going to be here, and I’m anxious to welcome the world.”

Softball is one of the world’s largest participant sports, but the best athletes are often quarantined to alternative ESPN channels, or off television entirely. The stars are heroes to every girl who plays the game, but the game exists in a cloud that seems to orbit around bigger sports, mainly professional male sports – hockey, football, basketball, soccer, and baseball.

A pair of trades can’t stop Eagles’ slide ▜ LOSING STREAK REACHES EIGHT GAMES FOR JUNIOR A HOCKEY TEAM NICK GREENIZAN

Last week was a busy one for the Surrey Eagles – on and off the ice.

And while the on-ice results aren’t there for the Birds of late – they lost all three games last week and have now dropped eight straight games – change may be coming.

Prior to last week’s three-game schedule, Eagles’ head coach and director of player personnel Blaine Neufeld was busy reshaping his club’s struggling roster, making a pair of significant trades.

On Thursday, Surrey dealt 19-year-old defenceman Kodi Schwarz – the team’s top offensive blue-liner – to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks in exchange for fellow defenceman Brett Stewart, 19; and then swapped 20-yearold captain Kyle Star to the Trail Smoke Eaters for another 20-year-old forward, Kurt Black.

The two deals come just a week after Surrey picked up another defenceman, 17-yearold Delta native Ryan Jones, after he was a late cut of the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants, and after Neufeld acquired a third goaltender, Forbes Ploszaj, to help fill the void left by the longterm injury to starter Justin LaForest.

Unfortunately for Neufeld’s club, the flurry of moves did little to help the team on the ice last week, as the Eagles gave up 10 goals to the Langley Rivermen Thursday on the road, losing 10-4. They then followed that with far more competitive games on home ice, against Salmon Arm and the Vernon Vipers, though they lost 3-2 and 4-3, respectively.

On Thursday, Surrey played with a handful of affiliate players – filling roster spots after the trades made earlier in the day – and fell behind the Rivermen early, losing 4-1 after 20 minutes.

The Langley offensive barrage continued in the final two periods,

Ty Westgard, John Wesley, Paul McAvoy and Jeffrey Stewart scored for the Eagles.

On Friday against the Silverbacks, the Eagles again fell behind early – Salmon Arm led 3-0 midway through the second period – but the home team fought back

from there, thanks to a goal from Westgard late in the second, and another from the second-year forward just 38 seconds into the third.

have a special Christmas tradition or recipe?

Neither team was able to connect on the power play – Salmon Arm was 0-for-6 and Surrey was 0-for-4 – and offensive chances were at a premium by BCHL standards, with the Surrey only firing 25 shots at the net, and Salmon Arm just 33.

In the team’s third game of the week, Sunday afternoon against Vernon, the Eagles finally got off to a good start and led 2-0 after one period, thanks to goals from Donovan Ott and Brett

Stewart, but former Eagle Latrell Charleson – a free agent who only signed with the Vipers last week – made it 2-1 with a power-play tally early in the second period.

Tyler Andrews restored the Eagles’ twogoal cushion shortly thereafter, but a strong third period from the Vipers erased the lead.

Vernon scored three times in an eight-minute span in the final frame, to steal two points.

Charleson, a Surrey native who was one of the Eagles’ better blue-liners last year before an indefinite suspension for making contact with an official ended his season early, added an assist against his former club, and he had three points in his first three games with his new team.

Surrey sits sixth in the BCHL’s Mainland Division, and now sport the league’s worst record, with just four wins in 21 games.

They’re still within striking distance of the two teams ahead of them in their division, however, as the Prince George Spruce Kings and Coquitlam have just one and three more wins than them, respectively.

The Birds will have the chance to halt their eight-game losing streak this afternoon, with a 2 p.m. Remembrance Day game against the Chilliwack Chiefs.

Giants make a change in goal, but lose two ▶ WHL TEAM FALLS TO KAMLOOPS BLAZERS, EVERETT SILVERTIPS RICK KUPCHUK

After a change between the pipes midweek, the Vancouver Giants are coming closer, but are still looking for a win to snap an eight-game

winless streak.

The Western Hockey League (WHL) team acquired 20-year-old goalie Daniel Wapple from the Regina Pats Wednesday (Nov. 4) in exchange for a fourthround selection in the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft.

The Saskatoon native won five of nine decisions with the Pats this season,

posting a 3.20 goals against average with a .907 save percentage.

“We’re excited to welcome Daniel to our hockey club,” said Giants Head Coach Lorne Molleken. “He’s an accomplished goaltender at our level that has been a big part of Regina’s success over the last couple of years. He’s also a goalie that I

believe gives you a chance to win each and every night.”

As a result of adding Wapple to the roster, the Giants waived 20-year-old forward Taylor Crunk to get back down to the limit of three overage (20-year-old) players, and traded netminder Payton Lee to the Edmonton Oil Kings for a sixth-round pick in the 2016 Bantam Draft.

Lee started 11 games third season, winning three times. He had a goal against average of 3.36 and a save percentage of .896.

After the roster moves, the Giants surrendered just five goals in two games last weekend, but came up a goal short each time. Vancouver lost 2-1 to the Kamloops Blazers Friday night before 7,314 fans at the Pacific Coliseum, then fell 3-2 to the Everett Silvertips Saturday night in Washingotn State.

With Wapple in goal against the Blazers, the Giants held the visitors scoreless until 34 minutes into the game, when Kamloops tallied for a 1-0 lead they carried into the third period.

the second period.

Everett started with a powerplay goal in the first minute. Ben Thomas of the Giants tied the game four minutes later, but the Silvertips were back in front 2-1 by the seven-minute mark of the period and stretched their lead to 3-1 a minute later.

Thomas notched his second of the game with eight minutes left in the period, but Wapple in the Giants goal and Carter Hart in net for Everett were perfect the rest of the way.

At 4-10-2-1 (winloss-overtime lossshootout loss), Vancouver is in the

B.C. Division basement, five points back of Kamloops and three behind the Portland Winterhawks for a wild-card playoff position.

The Giants will be in the Okanagan today (Wednesday) for an afternoon game with the Kelowna Rockets, then will host the Blazers again Friday.

On Saturday evening, the Winterhawks are the visitors on White Spot Legends night, when Guy Lafleur and Dennis Hull will appear at the Pacific Coliseum.

As part of a partnership between the Giants and the Scotiabank Hockey for Alzheimer’s tournament, the two former National Hockey League legends will meet with 100 fans at the game against Portland.

Lafleur played 17 seasons in the NHL with the Montreal Canadiens, New York Rangers and Quebec Nordiques, winning five Stanley Cups. He is the all-time leading scorer with the Canadiens and is a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Hull played 14 seasons in the NHL, all but one with the Chicago Blackhawks, and was a five-time All-Star.

a bit like the Rodney Dangerfield of sports,” said Hepner.

“It doesn’t get the attention it deserves.”

The organizers of the World Championship – and the mayor – aren’t just hoping to put on a great show for Surrey, or for the softball world, but they’re also hoping to stand out only two weeks before the sport goes after its own bid.

A week after the World Championship in B.C., the International Olympic Committee will vote on whether to include women’s softball in the 2020 Summer Olympics.

So if you’re a fan of softball, there’s a lot riding on the success of Surrey’s summer.

“That would make me very happy, if we become the catalyst for something that I think should be part of the Olympic Games,” said Hepner.

Timm said “it looks like it’s all systems go, looks like it will be back in the Olympics.”

Asked how the World Championship will be different than the Canadian Open, also known by many as the former Canada Cup, which is held on the same grounds every year, Timm said:

“The interesting part for our local people is, we’ve never seen the best teams in the world, with their best roster in the biggest games.”

The Canadian Open has often been a “development tournament” for the highest-ranked nations attending, with teams like the United States, Japan and Canada sometimes treating it as a tune-up for something bigger. Last year, it was the PanAm Games in Toronto, where Canada won gold just two weeks after it failed to triumph at the Open in Softball City.

“Locally, I think sometimes we feel the frustration of that because we want to see Canada win, and we want to see their best,” Timm said.

“Next year, this is a tournament they play for. This is when they’ll put their best team on the field and we’re pretty optimistic Canada will be playing on championship Sunday.”

Set-up has so far relied on the hard work of volunteers, support from all levels of government and legacy sponsors.

“That part has been really quite inspiring,” Timm said.

“We’re out in many areas right now, engaging, and (anyone who wants to volunteer) can

just track one of our people down.”

The bid took a good 18 months of preparation and planning, he said, and the real work will always be just beginning – whether the tournament is 10 months away, whether it’s the bottom of the seventh sometime next July, or whether the tournament’s over, when the Olympic decision becomes the next checkpoint.

And finally, fans in Surrey will have a must-see event with can’t-miss athletes in its own backyard. You don’t need to drive to Vancouver or watch Toronto have fun five provinces away, and that’s something the “fastest growing city” in British Columbia deserves.

“When you have more young people than anywhere else in the province, keeping them active and showing them sporting events... it’s always been a passion of mine,” added Hepner.

“That is something that really is necessary in the city.

“We will be injecting a lot of energy into making those fields the best the world has ever seen.”

Anyone who wants to volunteer can do so online at Surrey2016.com, or call 604-5369287.
