▼ FRASER HEALTH TO SHIFT PATIENTS TO COMMUNITY CARE

HOSPITAL BEDS CUT AS CARE HOMES OPEN JEFF NAGEL

Fraser Health will close 80 hospital beds across the region this spring as it simultaneously opens up hundreds of new residential care beds and embarks on a long-awaited shift of aging patients out of hospitals and back into local communities.

The strategy has been years in the works and is culminating now as 400 residential beds are set to come on stream across the region.

“This will happen over the next six months,” Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said. “As those residential care beds come available, we’ll be able to move people into them and slowly the reductions will happen.”

Beds will be cut at 10 hospitals – all of them except Delta and Fraser Canyon.

The reductions work out to less than three per cent of Fraser’s 3,000 total hospital acute care beds. continued on page 4

Surrey tax hike given early nod

▶ MONKEYING AROUND Vivian Ye, 6, looks at the crowd from behind a curtain prior to performing on stage with her troupe of monkeycostumed dance partners at the Fraser Valley Chinese Culture Association’s Chinese New Year celebration at Fleetwood Park Secondary School in Surrey on Feb. 13. This year is the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese calendar.

▼ BILLS SET TO RISE ABOUT $90 AND THE RECREATION LEVY HAS BEEN EXPANDED TO COVER ANY CAPITAL PROJECTS KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey’s taxes are going up by almost $90, as the city has given early endorsement to its five-year financial plan.

City councillors met as the finance committee last Wednesday (Feb. 10) to discuss a budget for this year that calls for $88.30 in new taxes and levies.

As The Leader reported late last month, the city is planning a 3.9 per cent tax hike, which will be $70.28 for the average home worth $671,000.

In addition, Surrey is increasing a road levy by one per cent – an added $18.02 per average household – bringing the levy to $128 for next year.

The levy was introduced in 2007 as a temporary five-year measure. It has not only remained, but increased by one per cent annually since then.

The city has also endorsed a 3.9-per-cent increase in fees and charges, such as business licences, dog licences and recreation centre fees.

In Surrey’s last five-year financial plan, council aimed to hike property taxes by 2.9 per cent this year. The current plan bumps that up by one per cent.

Utilities, including garbage, sewer and water, will increase by $27.50 per home – half of which is a result of Metro Vancouver increases.

A $100 recreation and culture levy announced weeks after the election in 2014 will also remain in place this year.

However, council has chosen to rename it a capital levy, which will allow it to be used on any capital project.

Pattullo delays to last five months

BOAZ JOSEPH

continued on page 4

JEFF NAGEL

Drivers who use the Pattullo Bridge will face five months of delays starting at the end of April as TransLink carries out a scaled-down rehabilitation project to keep the aging bridge open.

The bridge will be closed completely over the April 30-May 1 weekend starting on the Friday evening while crews set up to resurface the deck.

Traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction on weekdays until early October and that’s expected to result in 20- to 40-minute delays in the morning rush and 10 to 30 minutes in the afternoon peak, with higher volumes on all feeder routes in Surrey and New Westminster.

Complete bridge closures are expected two nights each week and one weekend a month.

“People should be planning ahead for this work,” TransLink spokesperson Jennifer Morland said. “Think about alternatives like

transit or car pooling as those might be faster options.”

She noted there will also be some overlap with the Pattullo work and New Westminster’s dismantling of its Front Street parkade, which is sending heavy trucks onto alternate routes through New West until July.

The $10-million project has been dramatically scaled down from what was originally intended to be a $100-million rehabilitation lasting 18 months.

TransLink officials last fall rejected the seismic rehab work as too expensive – if it was even possible – and opted to minimize spending since it intends to replace the Pattullo with a new bridge as quickly as possible.

TransLink says it has identified extra parking locations near New Westminster, Scott Road and Surrey Central stations for motorists opting to park and ride.

▶ NURSES UNION OPPOSES PLAN TO CLOSE HOSPITAL BEDS from page 1

Fraser officials hope the shift into the community will ultimately mean better, more appropriate care for those patients, as well as fewer people clogging hospital beds and less ER congestion.

“What we’re hearing is people want to go home and they want to go back into their communities,” Juma said.

Juma maintained the region will see a net increase in combined residential and acute care beds and a net increase in jobs as more support staff are being deployed for community care.

Ten new hospice beds are also being opened.

The 400 new residential complex care beds opening are split between four projects in Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Surrey and White Rock at a cost of $34.5 million to Fraser.

Fraser has long pursued a “home is best” long-range strategy to decongest hospitals but that took on renewed urgency in 2013 when Health Minister Terry Lake ordered a review after the health region repeatedly failed to stay within its budget.

“Care in the community is certainly less expensive than hospital care,” Juma acknowl-

Hospitals in the Fraser Health region continue to struggle with high levels of congestion. It’s hoped that a shift of elderly patients out to new residential care beds will help. edged. “The long-term benefit is we will see those gains in the future.”

B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil opposes the plan to close beds, saying hospitals are already heavily congested before the planned shift in resources.

“Last week we saw a record high number of patients waiting for beds in wards,” Duteil said. “Some patients were waiting in the ER for upwards of four hours just to be triaged.

That is not safe patient care.”

She questioned whether

enough nurses are working in community care to handle the new patients.

Juma agreed hospital emergency departments are busy right now, partly because of higher winter volumes.

“We are going to ensure the support in the community is there before we start reducing those bed numbers.”

Fraser Health’s latest report card shows the region continues to far underperform its targets on how long patients stay in hospital as well as key measures of ER congestion.

Tom Gill has consistently said he’s extremely reluctant to cut back on the city’s ambitious capital program.

Some of the projects in the works are a new North Surrey arena ($45 million), ice rinks in Cloverdale ($30 million), recreation and library facilities in Clayton ($40 million) and about $10 million for the next phase of the museum in Cloverdale.

Cost pressures on the city this year were significant.

It’s the first year Surrey will pay for a full year of newly hired RCMP officers. The cost for that alone will be $15 million.

On Feb. 10, Surrey council committed to hiring 16 more police officers this year, which will arrive in October.

In addition, Surrey is hiring four more bylaw officers and another senior position at the Surrey Fire Department.

The Surrey Board of Trade said it’s cautiously optimistic about the budget endorsed last week.

“As the independent voice of business we do request that the city reduce the new higher, property tax rate at the earliest possible opportunity to maintain Surrey’s competitive status for business attraction in the region,” the SBOT wrote in a letter to council.

Surrey council is expected to endorse the budget in full at its regular meeting on Feb. 22.

Officers tell of life-altering impact of parking lot crash

SHEILA REYNOLDS

RCMP Const. Bonnie Sauve fought back tears as she recalled the afternoon of Jan. 27, 2014 – the day James Burton Weaver rammed his SUV into her police cruiser and forever changed her life.

Reading a victim impact statement in Surrey Provincial Court Friday morning (Feb. 12), Sauve said she had waited a long time to express how she has felt since the crash.

“When he deliberately struck me… I thought I was going to die and all I could think of was whether I was going to see my children and husband again,” she wept.

“I wondered if I would be able to say ‘I love you’ one last time to my kids.

He intentionally tried to hurt or even kill me that day.”

Friday was to be the start of a sentencing hearing for Weaver, who

was found guilty last November of two counts each of assault with a weapon and criminal negligence causing bodily harm. However, the full hearing could not proceed due to the recent discovery by lawyers that Weaver is aboriginal. A special pre-sentence report will now be prepared investigating Weaver’s history and circumstances. It’s estimated it will take eight to 10 weeks to prepare.

Normally victim impact statements would come after Crown’s sentencing arguments, but were delivered prior because Sauve had travelled from Alberta, where she now lives and works as an RCMP officer.

It was just over two years ago that Weaver, 48, drove his Ford Explorer through the Newton RCMP detachment parking lot near 72 Avenue and 137 Street, plowing into a parked police car, which was pushed into a second cruiser.

Sauve was in the driver’s seat of one of the vehicles, while her partner, Const. Erik McFarlane, was outside the car.

cident and have a fear of cars that I never had before,” wrote McFarlane, adding it has affected him professionally, emotionally and financially.

“I fear the accused will again commit an act of violence randomly on

the police and/or the public,” he said.

Sauve spoke directly to Weaver in court, telling him he needs to earn back his freedom and urging him to become a better person.

But she said his

criminal actions would not deter her or other officers.

“We will move on with serving our community and keeping it safe.”

Weaver’s next court date is Feb. 19, to fix a date for sentencing.

The aftermath of a 2014 crash wherein James Weaver drove his SUV into Surrey RCMP cars in Newton, injuring two officers. FILE PHOTO She said she heard a squeal before Weaver’s truck hit her car, pushing it toward the parking stall next to her, where McFarlane was standing.

McFarlane, she said, was able to somehow “slide out” and call for help. He escaped with a leg injury, while Sauve suffered severe bruising and a shoulder tear that is still healing.

Aside from the physical injuries, Sauve said there has been lasting psychological and emotional harm. She said she lives with fear, hyper-vigilance, anger, anxiety, sadness and stress that impacts her daily.

“While I stand before this court alive, I struggle with feeling safe at work, and worrying about the next person trying to hurt or kill me,” Sauve said, her father listening from the court gallery.

McFarlane wasn’t in court Friday, but had a victim impact statement read on his behalf.

He said he missed multiple training opportunities and no longer leads the active lifestyle he once did due to the “lifelong injuries” and pain resulting from the crash.

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday Februar y 17 2016

Family Day friction We have now celebrated our fourth Family Day in B.C. and some of us are not happy about the timing.

Andrew Johns, for one.

He had to work on the second Monday of the month (Feb. 8) because he’s employed in the financial markets and the rest of the country didn’t take that day off.

Six other Canadian provinces have a Family Day holiday in February, but they all happen on the third Monday – Feb. 15.

So do our American cousins, who marked Presidents’ Day this past Monday.

Johns, who says he would have liked a day off with his wife and children, is petitioning the provincial government to move Family Day to the third Monday of the month.

So far, he’s gathered more than 18,000 signatures online.

The Surrey Board of Trade has also called on the provincial government to move B.C.’s day into line with every one else.

Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman says because the B.C. holiday happens when the rest of Canada and the U.S. is working, many people here can’t take the day off because their colleagues elsewhere are working.

So why is B.C. so out of sync? A little recent history is in order.

Back in 2011, when the provincial government decided B.C. residents deserved a break between New Year’s Day and Easter, it conducted an online poll that found a majority of those who participated, preferred the second Monday – precisely because it was on a day when the rest

RAESIDE

of North America would be working.

The reasoning was B.C. residents would have less trouble getting into vacation destinations with the rest of Canada and the U.S. working.

As the Wikipedia entry notes, as a new holiday, “there are no traditional activities that are associated with (Family day).”

Except, perhaps, for complaining about the timing of it.

What do you think?

Should B.C. move the holiday to match the rest of Canada and the U.S.?

Or is the advantage of time off when everyone else is working worth keeping?

Vote this week on The Leader’s online poll (surreyleader.com). We’ll publish the results on Friday (Feb. 19).

Housing czar defends drug ghettos BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

Housing Minister Rich Coleman was flabbergasted at the angry response to his solution to the Victoria courthouse “tent city,” the latest tarp-covered camp to spring up in southern B.C. Coleman announced two temporary shelters with three meals a day and medical supports. One is a former nursing home close to the courthouse squat, conveniently located near panhandling and drug dealing spots as well as taxpayer-funded services. The other offers indoor or outdoor tent space at a former youth custody centre, with a dedicated downtown shuttle bus so these “victims” of “homelessness” don’t have to endure B.C.’s most generous transit bus system.

We weren’t consulted, said the indignant spokespeople for those bringing new-looking tents to take advantage of food and other handouts, offered in B.C.’s warmest climate by the province’s most naïve local government.

But this was just a show for the media by our resident professional protesters, some of whom aren’t really “homeless.”

After the reaction, which Coleman described as “bizarre,” the combined 88 housing opportunities are being snapped up. Those on welfare will have to fork over their $375 monthly housing allowance, as the province continues to convert more housing and offer more rent subsidies.

It’s no wonder that southern B.C. is the destination of choice. Coleman said it’s always been a seasonal thing, but this winter has been the highest in a decade, largely due to an exodus of economic migrants from the downturn in Alberta, naturally heading for B.C.’s most desirable real estate.

I asked him about two other homeless hotspots. In Abbotsford, campers have ignored a city deadline to take down structures in a three-yearold camp, after temporary shelter and costly provincial supports were brought on. A courtroom and street confrontation looms with self-styled “drug war survivors” and their Vancouver legal help.

In Maple Ridge, a tent camp sprang up next to the local Salvation Army

shelter, with people cycling through the shelter’s 15-day limit, camping and being fed until they could go back in.

Mayor Nicole Read, who has worked in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, said Maple Ridge took on its own outreach, shelter and housing effort because the province’s $1 million-ayear Salvation Army operation isn’t working.

Coleman is not amused. He said he’s had no complaints about Abbotsford’s Salvation Army shelter, and Read is the only one griping. And no mayor is going to tell him how to spend provincial dollars. Maple Ridge now has two shelters with accompanying street drugs, prostitution and crime.

I asked Coleman about the 10-yearstudy led by Simon Fraser University researcher Julian Somers on the housing, outreach and services in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. This is the heart of B.C.’s “housing first” strategy, where the province has bought and

renovated 30 “single room occupancy” buildings, built another dozen and poured in every possible support, including the buyout of high-living executives at the Portland Hotel Society.

The study found that the hardest cases are worse off than ever, based on court, hospital and other service records, while the influx to the notorious Vancouver drug ghetto have tripled in 10 years.

“I haven’t had a chance to go over that report yet, but I disagree with the assumption I’ve heard already, because I walk the Downtown Eastside,” Coleman said. “I don’t know if they do every few weeks to a month, but I’ve been doing it for about nine or 10 years and I can tell you it’s a whole lot better down there.”

The question is whether problems are being solved, or just better hidden from view.

INBOX ▼ ARE TREES MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE SAFETY OF OUR KIDS? On Oct. 22, 2015, I sent a letter to Delta Mayor Lois Jackson regarding my daughter and her friends’ accident at the intersection of 86 Avenue and 116 Street, reminding her the girls were hit while walking across a lit crosswalk on 116 Street and thrown 13 metres (42 feet).

I voiced my strong concerns regarding the dire need for a pedestrian-activated light at 86 Avenue and 116 Street.

Since the accident I have noticed a large number of trees have been planted along Nordel Way. Why are trees more important than the safety of our children? I see nothing has been done about the intersection at 86 Avenue and 116 Street. It is still a potentially deadly pedestrian crossing.

Is Delta waiting for something worse to happen? Was the promise of improvements nothing more than lip service to shut us up?

The residents of North Delta want action, not empty talk.

Take charge of used batteries ▼ RECYCLING IS EASY TO DO AND SOMETHING WE CAN ALL DO WITH LITTLE EFFORT On a recent afternoon walk, I was dismayed to find a bunch of used batteries strewn on a sidewalk. I put them into my pocket for recycling at Winskill Recreation Centre in Delta.

Batteries should never be sent to the landfill because of the chemicals that can leach into the ground from the charge that remains in the battery.

As we all know, batteries come in a variety of shapes and sizes and we are energized by their many uses and applications.

Did you know that the first “true” battery was invented in 1800 by scientist Alessandro Volta following a considerable amount of research and experimenting? His invention became known as the voltaic pile, which consisted of pairs of copper and zinc discs

Obviously the scope of battery use has greatly expanded since Volta’s era, including the 1997 introduction of the lithium polymer battery.

carrying around long extension cords and for allowing us to use smaller and smaller portable devices.

Batteries play an integral part in earthquake

preparation as they are used in flashlights, portable radios, etc.

I recently learned that Feb. 18 is National Battery Day. This day has been set aside to under-

stand the importance of batteries and with their widespread use, to also learn about recycling them appropriately.

Call2Recycle (Call2Recycle.ca) has set up 1,600 locations in B.C. at which any used battery less than five kilograms, and cellphones with their rechargeable batteries, can be appropriately recycled without charge.

Most recreation centres, libraries, London Drugs and major hardware stores accept used batteries.

Batteries should never be left lying around a home in which young children reside as a child might be tempted to put one into his or her mouth. The consequences can be serious.

Take charge and safely recycle your batteries and electronic devices.

It is very easy and something we can all do with little effort.

Crash fraudsters busted by own bragging ▶ ICBC INVESTIGATORS SCOUR SOCIAL MEDIA FOR AMMUNITION JEFF NAGEL

Insurance fraudsters are increasingly being tripped up online by their own social media postings.

ICBC says it opened 2,350 cyber cases last year where investigators used social media or other online postings to try to uncover suspected fraudulent or exaggerated crash claims.

“Social media is a growing area that’s been highly successful for us,” said Chris Fairbridge, manager of ICBC’s Special Investigations Unit.

“When you’ve got pictures and you’ve got video and you’ve got posts of what you’ve been doing, it’s pretty hard for anybody to

look at that and say you’re telling the truth when you’ve exaggerated.”

Fairbridge said the dedicated unit now has 10 investigators dedicated to cyber cases, up from two when it was started in 2010.

About 70 per cent of their investigations have some effect in reducing payout costs or leading to a complete denial.

One 2015 example was a B.C. woman who claimed crash injuries kept her from returning to work as a hairdresser, but posted on Twitter and Facebook about hiking, running and being one of the “hardest hitters” on the roller derby team she’d just joined.

She settled for half her original claim after being confronted with her social media posts.

In another case that went to court, a woman sought $1 million after being hit by a motorcycle in a crosswalk. A judge awarded

Two men shot, arrive at hospital ▶ GUNSHOT WOUNDS FOR ONE CONSIDERED LIFE-THREATENING BLACK PRESS

Surrey RCMP are investigating after two men showed up at the hospital Saturday night suffering from gunshot wounds.

The men – both believed to be in their 20s – arrived at Surrey Memorial Hospital just before 11 p.m. Saturday seeking treatment for injuries.

One of the men had injuries that were life-threatening, according to a news release.

Police were called to the scene and determined the men had been shot.

Surrey’s major crime unit is now investigating.

Anyone with information is asked to call 604599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

her just $20,000 and ordered her to pay $34,000 in ICBC costs after deciding from social media posts and other evidence that she’d grossly exaggerated her injuries.

Other phoney claimants were undone by their friends’ social media postings.

A Lower Mainland man said he couldn’t go back to his desk

job after a crash but investigators found a friend’s Facebook photo of him later running a grueling obstacle race in Whistler, as well as a video of him taking down an opponent in a mixed martial arts bout. Shown the evidence, he quickly settled, citing a miraculous recovery.

ICBC also denied a Kamloops man’s claim

that vandals burned his truck after finding evidence the fire was suspicious and a Craigslist posting trying to sell the truck because he couldn’t afford to pay for its repairs.

Penalties may go beyond reduced or denied payouts.

Fairbridge said there were 520 successful fraud convictions in the last five years,

some leading to jail time. Those convicted may not be able to cross the border again or may have trouble getting a loan or a job, he noted.

Asked if fraudsters are getting wise and going dark on social media after a claim, Fairbridge said no.

“People can’t help themselves.”

An estimated 10 to

20 per cent of auto insurance claims are fraudulent or exaggerated, costing an extra $600 million a year in B.C. and adding $100 to the insurance premiums of the average driver.

“We’re not going to tolerate that, we’re not going to pass those costs along to honest customers,” Fairbridge said.

Former gangster jailed for shooting Safety ▶ ARAM ALI HAS 3.5 MORE YEARS TO SERVE FOR INCIDENT OUTSIDE STRIP CLUB IN 2009 SHEILA REYNOLDS

A gang associate who shot at an SUV – striking the driver – outside a Surrey strip club in 2009 has been sentenced to eight-and-a-half years in jail.

Aram Ali, 30, was found guilty last November of aggravated assault and discharging a firearm with intent to wound in connection to an incident near the T-Barz nightclub in Surrey seven years ago. He was sentenced in December 2015 in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver and the judge’s reasons were recently posted online.

With credit for time already served in pre-trial custody,

Robbery suspect sought

there are three-and-a-half years remaining of his sentence.

Ali was a passenger in a Lincoln Navigator driven by Barzan Tilli-Choli, a United Nations gang leader who is currently in prison for offences related to this incident and other offences, including conspiring to kill the notorious Bacon brothers – rival Red Scorpions gang members.

Ali and Tilli-Choli had driven to T-Barz, near 104 Avenue and 137 Street, shortly before closing time and went inside briefly, before returning to the Lincoln. According to court documents, when a Range Rover carrying four people left the area, Tilli-Choli directed Ali to shoot, which he did.

Ali fired eight shots from a semi-automatic pistol. One bullet hit the Range Rover driver’s shoulder and another grazed his ear.

Tilli-Choli and Ali sped from the scene, toward Vancouver, and Ali threw the loaded pistol from the SUV’s window, as directed by Tilli-Choli. A passer-by found the gun a few hours later.

During the trial, Ali didn’t deny shooting the gun, but testified he only intended to hit the vehicle, not the occupants, as a scare tactic.

While initially charged with attempted murder, the judge found Ali guilty of the lesser offence of aggravated assault, saying Crown prosecutors failed to prove Ali “specifically intended to kill a person.”

In sentencing him, Justice Heather Holmes maintained Ali’s moral culpability in the shooting was very high.

“He behaved like a mercenary, prepared to shoot a person for money, and to put other people at very serious risk,” said Holmes. “He did so

SHEILA REYNOLDS

Surrey RCMP is asking for the public’s help identifying a suspect in a corner store robbery late last year.

Police say a man and woman entered a store near 100 Avenue and 117 Street on Dec. 23.

They arrived in a dark-coloured Mercedes GL350 SUV and are alleged to have threatened store staff with bear spray while stealing cigarettes and lottery tickets.

Female suspect

in order to support what he knew to be Mr. Tilli-Choli’s criminal lifestyle and therefore to gain a trickle-down income from that lifestyle.”

She said it was “sheer luck” no one else was seriously injured or killed in either vehicle and said throwing the loaded gun from the window posed an “unthinkable” risk to the community – if a child had found the gun, for example.

Ali had been free on bail since August 2011 and living in Calgary with his parents. The court heard he has been working legitimate jobs continuously and held his current job as a sawman since July 2014.

Ali has no criminal recording pre-dating the nightclub shooting offences. Born in Iraq, Ali’s refugee status in Canada is under review in light of his convictions, Holmes said.

The female suspect was captured on video surveillance cameras and police released images this week.

She is described as Caucasian, wearing a grey hooded jacket, grey pants and gloves.

Anyone with information about the suspect(s) or incident is asked to call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca

A guiding light for eight years ▶ HOWIE IS RETIRING AS LYNN JENSEN’S GUIDE DOG – BUT SHE’S NOT LETTING HIM GO BOAZ JOSEPH

Lynn Jensen likes to say that Howie is a typical male – he’s very dependent and his whole world falls apart without a woman around.

The truth is, the two rely on each other.

Howie doesn’t like to be left alone and Jensen has had an “incredible” guide dog for the last eight years.

“Loyal is an understatement,” she says.

“This dog follows me everywhere.”

Jensen, who is blind, relies on Howie for two daily 90-minute commutes by West Coast Express, bus and SkyTrain, from Port Moody to her office in Vancouver.

Jensen he works as a rehabilitation teacher at the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB).

Howie is constantly at her side and has given her the independence to make work-related trips to Toronto, Chicago and Vancouver Island.

“If Howie had an odometer, it would be interesting to see what it would read,” she says.

Counting Canada, they’ve been to eight countries, including six vacations in Mexico – where both kayaked – and had a five-country tour of Europe in 2011.

“I would not be doing it if I didn’t have Howie.”

He’s been a fixture at Jensen’s work, too. In the past, a few former clients have phoned asking for Jensen, but couldn’t remember her name. They did, however, recall Howie.

“Hey stinker, I’m talking about you, aren’t I?,” she playfully asks Howie, who perks up from a nap in his cot on the floor of her office.

Howie, named for guide dogs supporter and hockey personality Howie Meeker, was raised in the North Delta home of Kristen and Scott Hamilton (Scott is the riding’s MLA).

The volunteer foster family continues to raise puppies for the Ladner-based BC and Alberta Guide Dogs (BCAGD), which trains dogs to assist the visually impaired (or depending on the training, those with autism).

At eight weeks old, puppies are placed with volunteer foster families who teach them basic obedience and socialization skills. At that time, they simply wear a puppy vest in public.

At about 15 months of age, the dogs are then given formal training by the BCAGD, in harnesses, as guide dogs to assist the blind – a process of another five to eight months.

They’re then placed with an applicant, where there’s further training as the two get to know each other.

Howie helps Jensen to get around, and at work, she uses a laptop with voice-output software to exchange emails and blog on the CNIB website, and also has an iPhone with customized controls. (While using it, she leaves the screen off to save power).

“There’s no reason you can’t do something. You just do it a different way,” Jensen says, smitten with the technology.

“I worked with a rehabilitation teacher at CNIB for a number of years and learned how to function independently and that’s

Howie, Lynn Jensen’s guide dog for the last eight years, is retiring this month after eight years of service. BOAZ JOSEPH the role that I have now. I do the same for clients who have experienced a vision loss.”

She teaches independent living skills that include cooking, cleaning, identifying clothes and handling money – “anything within the four walls of the home.”

To learn to get around, she worked with an orientation and mobility instructor before getting her first guide dog, Howie’s predecessor, a yellow lab named Mae. Applicants for guide dogs must first be able to travel safely and independently using a white cane.

Jensen says the getting around outside with a cane and a dog are completely different experiences. Canes are made to feel for obstacles, while dogs are trained to avoid obstacles and to keep a straight line.

Jensen relies heavily on her ears to tell her when it’s safe to cross a street. She listens carefully to the surges of traffic and other auditory clues.

“When I cross the street, I have to tell Howie when it’s safe to cross.”

She adds: “Dogs are colour blind. A lot of people think the dog tells me when the light turns green, but that’s not true.”

On the street, Jensen is always offered assistance. She usually politely says no, but gets frustrated when otherwise well-intentioned people grab her without warning.

She is put off by sudden changes of direction, which can upset her balance.

Another change of direction is coming

with her guide dog.

Howie turned 10 last October and is about to retire from active guiding.

On Feb. 17, Jensen will get her third dog, a 21-month old black Labrador-retriever cross just like Howie.

Howie will stick around for a while for Jensen’s commutes during the transition.

There’s no doubt he’ll remain her pet.

“I do get first choice,” Jensen says, adding she’s got people at home who are able to look after him when she’s at work.

“If he had to stay by himself, I wouldn’t be able to keep him.”

Jensen lives with her twin sister and her sister’s husband and young twin daughters.

Howie often comes to the door with a stuffed animal, “Mr. Beaver,” in his mouth.

(He’s got a duplicate Mr. Beaver in the office, too.)

“My house looks like a daycare, between Howie’s toys and the girls’ toys,” Jensen admits.

Jensen is aware of the changes coming with an new dog and the mutual dependence between her and Howie.

But she’s grateful to the BCAGD for their work in assisting the blind and optimistic about her new dog Misty.

“She’ll wiggle her way into my heart.”

The BC and Alberta Guide Dogs need assistance. People can make a donation, sponsor a puppy, pay tribute to a loved one, leave a leg-

Store volunteers tired of being dumped on ▶ PENNY SAVERS THRIFT STORE WANTS TO PUT A STOP TO LOADS OF UNSALABLE ITEMS DROPPED OFF AFTER HOURS BOAZ JOSEPH

Wet mattresses, derelict sofas, worn chairs, scrap wood and cardboard boxes – just the latest round of garbage dumped at the back of a North Delta thrift store.

“I really have had it with these people,” says a frustrated Shirley Evans, store manager of Penny Savers Thrift Shop.

The store, run volunteers on behalf of the Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) Auxiliary, has seen unsalable items dumped at the doorstep for years, but the heaps are getting larger and coming more often.

“It’s time to get the word out and stop all this,” says Evans, explaining the difficulty that the store’s volunteers have in trying to dispose of the often heavy and soiled items left on the doorstep in the overnight hours.

“They just don’t have the energy for all this.”

Evans says she’s lucky she and her husband Steve have a pick-up

A recent dumping of derelict goods at Penny Savers Thrift Store.

Shirley Evans truck to help them remove the heavier items, but Penny Savers still has to cover the costs at recycling depots and the landfill.

The next step, she admits, is to get surveillance cameras to catch people in the act – regardless of the cost.

While the store does

take in some large or unique items, there’s no room for most pieces of furniture and no way for staff to test electronic items, including such things as TVs and DVD players.

The best thing for legitimate donors to do is come in during store hours and ask if their items can be taken in to be re-sold, as is the store’s fundraising mandate.

Penny Savers is on task to raise $150,000 for an adolescent drug treatment centre at SMH. Despite the dumpings, business at the store is good, but there’s the ongoing need for volunteers.

Most of the volunteers are in their 60s to

90s – for whom Evans is grateful.

DIABETES COACH STUDY

Some fraud is organized and orchestrated by a group of individuals, namely, staged accidents and stolen vehicle rings.

Other types of fraud are less obvious.

Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It’s not unheard of for people to embellish their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can’t work when they’re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets – we all end up paying for those who cheat the system.

Fraudulent claims take a toll on B.C. drivers

Looking for Coaches

While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province.

We will involve you in a 3-day training session and then pair you with a study participant. Each week, for a period of 6 months the Diabetes Coach is expected to spend 30 minutes speaking to a participant over the telephone. We will provide you with ongoing support.

If you are interested in becoming a Diabetes Coach please contact the study coordinator, Suzanne at (604) 940 8973.

Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates.

ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims wles. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims.

They’re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that yags patterns and predictors of fraud.

Getting the call from the Oilers ▼ CLOVERDALE MINOR HOCKEY’S LAURENT BROSSOIT PLAYS HIS SECOND GAME IN THE NHL RICK KUPCHUK

Southridge Storm seniors (left to right) Dominic Clayton, Hunter Hughes and Mat Andreou have played together since elementary school. NICK GREENIZAN

The ‘Big Three’ ▼ LONGTIME TEAMMATES ARE ENJOYING THEIR FINAL SEASON OF HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL NICK GREENIZAN

If one were to take a poll of high-school basketball players across the province, you’d been hard-pressed to find three players more familiar with each other that Hunter Hughes, Dominic Clayton and Mathew Andreou.

The three players – “Our Big Three,” coach Steve Anderson calls them – first played together on Southridge’s Grade 5/6 team, and have been teammates ever since.

In fact, the three of them have been together so long that they remember a time when the six-foot-eight Hughes – now one of the province’s most dominant players – was far from a monster on the court. And though he towers over most other high-school players, and is a half-foot taller now than his two teammates, it wasn’t that long ago that Clayton, not Hughes, was the big man on campus.

“Back then, in Grade 7, I was the big man,” Clayton laughed. “But then he grew.”

Hughes’ growth spurt, as he hit high school, coincided with improved hoops skills – something he said came as a result of practice, and plenty of it.

“I was bad – really bad – probably until about Grade 8,” Hughes said. “But I just really enjoyed playing so I kept at it,

and I improved.”

While it’s hard to imagine Hughes as being a poor player, even his longtime coach admits that, back then,it wasn’t that much of a stretch.

“You know what, I don’t think Hunter was actually overstating things all that much,” Anderson laughed. “He was very, very mediocre as a player back then, but he’s probably taken one of the biggest leaps of any player I’ve actually ever seen. He’s very athletic and he’s gotten better every single year.”

Hughes has garnered a lot of the headlines this season, and rightfully so, considering some of the numbers he’s put up. For example, in the Storm’s early-season upset win at the Tsumura Invitational – in which the Storm, in their first season at the AAA level, knocked off quad-A competition – Hughes was named tournament MVP after a 42-point, 21-rebound performance in the final game.

But despite leading the team in scoring, Anderson is quick to point out it’s been the play of all three which has helped the Storm to a No. 3 overall ranking in the province.

A good example came late last month, in a game against Vancouver College, he said.

“At the beginning, they were double-teaming Hunter – and when he got the ball, even tripling him. So Dom and Mat scored about 18 or 20 points in that first quarter, and Vancouver couldn’t do that anymore,” he explained. continued on page 15

Ten months after his first start in the National Hockey League, Laurent Brossoit played his second game in goal for the Edmonton Oilers on a Hockey Night in Canada telecast Saturday night.

Playing at Rexall Place in Edmonton against the Winnipeg Jets, the Cloverdale Minor Hockey alum made 32 saves but lost 2-1 in a shootout.

“I felt pretty good for the most part,” said Brossoit.

“There’s still some things I want to tidy up at this level.

But for the most part, I felt good. It feels good to get a point but shootouts are something I’m pretty confident in so it’s kind of frustrating losing a point that way.”

Drafted in the sixth round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft by the Calgary Flames, the 22 year-old Brossoit has played 127 games for four teams in the ECHL or American Hockey League (AHL) over the past three seasons.

Traded by the Flames to the Oilers early in the 201314 season, he played his first NHL game last April 9 in Edmonton, making 49 saves in a 3-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

Until he was called up to the NHL club last Wednesday, Brossoit was with the Oilers’ farm team in the AHL. In 26 games with the Bakersfield Condors this season, he had a 14-8-3 (win-loss-overtime loss) record, a 2.70 goals against average, a .921 save percentage and three shutouts.

He was selected to play in the AHL All-star Game.

Although he was expected to get a start with the Oilers this week, he was a surprise starter Saturday after first-string netminder Cam Talbot missed Laurent Brossoit of Cloverdale the morning watches the play during Saturday’s skate with an illness.

NHL game against the Winnipeg Jets.

Although ANDY DEVLIN / EDMONTON OILERS he didn’t get the win, he impressed his teammates with his performance.

“LB played great for us in net. Heck of a job coming in,” said Oilers centre Matt Hendricks. “He kind of wasn’t expecting to play tonight, so he did a heck of a job.”

Brossoit admitted the time of his call-up to the NHL team was a minor surprise.

“I wouldn’t say I was down there by the phone waiting.

I’d like to think I was patient and I knew my time would come,” he said. “I know circumstance has a lot to do with it. I was just patient and a call came sooner than I thought, which was nice.”

He did see some familiar faces in the Oilers lineup, former teammates from Bakersfield and Oklahoma City.

“I’m a big believer in Brossoit,” said Oilers defenceman Brent Davidson. “He’s done a great job. I played with him in the minors and he competes like no other.”

Blazers complete a sweep over the Giants ▶ PLAYOFF POSITION SLIPPING AWAY FROM WHL TEAM

RICK KUPCHUK

Their chances of a playoff berth took a huge hit last weekend, as the Vancouver Giants earned just one point from two games against the

Kamloops Blazers.

The Giants are now 10 points away from the final wild-card position in the Western Conference of the Western Hockey League (WHL) with a 21-29-7 (win-lossovertime loss) record.

In 10th place in the conference, Vancouver trails the 28-25-3 Portland Winterhawks, a team which

earned five points from three games played last week to tighten their hold on the second of two wild-card positions.

The Giants lost twice to the Blazers last weekend, falling 5-0 Friday night at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver and 4-3 in overtime a night later in Kamloops.

lead into the final 20 minutes.

Both teams finished with 34 shots on net.

Ryan Kubic started in goal, stopping 24 of 29 shots he faced before leaving the net in favor of Jake Morrissey, who stopped all five shots he faced over the final 17 minutes of play.

The Blazers were one-for-three on the powerplay, while the Giants were scoreless in five extra-man situations.

One night later in Kamloops, the Giants were able to get on the scoreboard and earn a point by taking the game to overtime.

It was Vancouver jumping to a 2-0 lead after 16 minutes of play, with David Brum netting the first goal and Alec Baer scoring on the powerplay 87 second later.

Kamloops replied with a powerplay goal of their own late in the first period, notched the only goal

of the second, then scored again with the man-advantage early in the third to take a 3-2 lead.

The Giants scored their second powerplay goal of the game with 13 minutes left in regulation time. Ty Ronning tallied his team-best 29th goal of the season, converting a pass from Chase Lang. The assist was Lang’s 34th, also a team-best.

Vancouver had seven powerplay chances to just three for the Blazers, who were outshot by the Giants 38-36.

The Giants will host the Victoria Royals this afternoon (Wednesday) at noon for their Hooky Day game at the Pacific Coliseum. More than 5,000 school-aged children are expected to attend to participate in the fourth-annual Acceptance Flash Mob in recognition of Anti-Bullying Day on Feb. 24.

On the weekend, the Giants will play three times, including a game Friday in Kelowna against the Rockets. The Rockets will be in Vancouver for a game at 7 p.m. then the Blazers are back in the Pacific Coliseum at 5 p.m.

Sunday.

“That’s what having these guys does – it keeps teams from focusing on just one guy.

“When they’re all rolling, we’re one of the best teams around.”

Andreou said their familiarity with each other has been a huge help on the court.

“It’s helpful, having played together so long. It’s all about knowing where the other guys are on the court, or what they’re going to do,” he said.

“And it’s not just the three of us. We have a really deep bench, so we have a lot of different guys who can contribute for us.”

In addition to being a talented bunch, they’re also one of the closest-knit teams Anderson has coached. That camaraderie comes naturally, by virtue of playing together for so long.

“We consider ourselves one big basketball family, and we look out for each other,’ he said.

“That’s what makes it so cool with these three guys – they’ve been together for so long and are now having this kind of success.”

The uniqueness of their situation is not lost on the three seniors, either.

“It’s nice just to be going to practice, going to games every day with your best friends,”

Hughes said. “Everything else we get out of it is just a bonus.”

With the season heading into the stretch run, the Storm would love nothing more than to cap their inaugural AAA season with a provincial championship. And beyond that, Hughes, Clayton and Andreou all have college hoops aspirations.

As the season has progressed, all three have received interest from university coaches.

“It doesn’t surprise me at all.

For all three of them, their skills are very high and their basketball IQs are very high. It’s easy for me to see how they’ll translate to the college level, and I think they all have fantastic upside,” Anderson said.

“I would not be at all surprised if they move on to become allstars within their conferences, no matter where they end up playing.”

While Hughes is a noted scorer and rebounder, Clayton and Andreou are both lauded for their shooting and passing abilities, Anderson said.

“They all have their assets. One of the biggest things Mat does well is he can shoot the pull-up jump shot from that middle area – not quite taking the ball to he rim, but not from three-point (territory) and that can be very hard to defend.

“And Dom is very strong, very aggressive, and one of the hardest workers I’ve ever coached. I’d say his biggest asset is that he doesn’t have to score a ton of point to dominate a game. There’s very few people who you can say that about. It’s what sets him apart.

“One university coach told me that he hasn’t seen a player at the high-school level enjoy passing and enjoy setting guys up as much as Dom seems to.”

And though it is a possibility that all three could end up at the same university, the three friends are also preparing for the idea that they could be rivals, rather than teammates, a year from now.

“I haven’t really ever gone against these guys, except in practice. Once, I played against Mat in a summer league, but that was it,” said Clayton.

But rather than worry about their college hoops futures now, the trio is instead just trying to enjoy their final season in Southridge colours, hoping to add one more banner to the gym’s walls.

“Its’ been really awesome just knowing these guys since kindergarten, and then early on, finding something in basketball that we all really love,” Clayton said.

“Now, in our final season, it’s just awesome to still be playing together.”
