Soccer team hopes fundraiser scores big ▼ SURREY FOOTBALL CLUB RANGERS SUPPORTING FEB. 7 ASSAULT VICTIM, WHO REMAINS IN HOSPITAL SHEILA REYNOLDS

A Surrey women’s soccer club is raising funds to support a teammate who survived a brutal attack last week during which her throat was slit.

The 21-year-old woman has been in hospital since Feb. 7, when she escaped from an apartment in the 13400 block of 108 Avenue where she was allegedly bound, stabbed and sexually assaulted.

She was only able to flee when neighbours heard her cries for help. (The Leader is not naming the woman as she may have been the victim of a sexual assault).

Though they had heard about the incident on the news, it wasn’t until five days later that members of the SFC (Surrey Football Club) Rangers realized it was their teammate.

They went to visit her the next day. ▶ “She totally “It was obviously beat the odds. really hard to see her like that,” said No one would friend Simrit Parhave thought that mar, 21. “It was an emotional visit.” anybody would Parmar said the come back from woman came to Canada as a refuthe injuries she gee from Gambia sustained.” last summer. Because she’d grown SIMRIT PARMAR up playing soccer, she was eager to continue playing in her new country. She tried out for the Rangers in September and made the team, quickly making her mark as a high-scoring striker for the squad.

“She was an amazing addition to our team,” said Parmar, adding her soccer skills only complement her character. “She’s just overall a great person.

She has a very bubbly personality and is very easy to talk to.” continued on page 4

Surrey RCMP officers contain the scene of an alleged bank robbery at the TD Canada Trust in Newton on Tuesday morning. A lone male suspect was arrested after a six-hour standoff. BOAZ JOSEPH

Bank standoff in Newton ends in arrest ▼ MAN IN TD CANADA TRUST BRANCH KEEPS HEAVILY ARMED POLICE OFFICERS AT THE READY FOR SIX HOURS KEVIN DIAKIW

A man was arrested at a Newton bank Tuesday afternoon following a six-hour standoff with police.

The man, who police had not identified as of The Leader’s press deadline Wednesday, entered the TD Canada Trust bank in Newton at about 8:30 a.m. on Feb. 16. Staff and customers of the bank left immediately.

Police arrived and surrounded the bank, however, it wasn’t until about 2:20 p.m. when they were able to secure the suspect’s capture.

A bearded man in a plaid shirt who appeared to be in his 20s

or 30s was led out of the building in handcuffs. No one else was found in the building and there were no injuries reported.

At the peak of activity, about 30 police cars surrounded the financial institution.

Numerous police resources, including the Lower Mainland District Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services and a police negotiator were actively involved in the incident.

One officer with a 12-gauge shotgun, another with either an M-16 or M4 Carbine, and at least one sniper, all trained their weapons on the bank.

Police shut down 72 Avenue at 137 Street for the better part of Tuesday morning and afternoon.

At one point, RCMP sent in a police robot in advance of entering the building themselves.

Anyone with more information about this incident is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www. solvecrime.ca Check surreyleader.com for updates.

wounds to his upper body.

He was taken to hospital and is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.

Police said the victim is an employee of The Bay and was attempting to apprehend a suspected shoplifter when the altercation broke out.

During the struggle, the employee was stabbed several times, but was able to control the suspect until mall security arrived.

Surrey RCMP subsequently arrested the 34-year-old man suspected of stabbing the employee. Recommendation of charges is pending.

Delta man drowns A fisherman perished after he slipped and fell into the churning Chilliwack River on Valentine’s Day. He was identified as Graeme Gordon Carswell, 21, of Delta, said the BC Coroners Service.

On Feb. 14 he’d been fishing near the Alison Pools

with a companion who was unable to save him once he hit the water.

Carswell was swept several kilometres downriver by the current. He went through the rapids and did not make it out.

The young fisherman was recovered near Osborne Road.

“He was unresponsive at the time of rescue and was transported to Chilliwack General Hospital. Unfortunately, he could not be resuscitated,” said coroner Barb McLintock.

The BC Coroners Service and RCMP continue to investigate the death.

▶ 22-YEAR-OLD MAN IS FACING CHARGES from page 1

The team of 19- to 23-year-olds has since set up a GoFundMe account to help support their friend, who has no family here. On the first day, the campaign raised more than $12,000.

Parmar said they told the woman about the fundraiser earlier this week, which brought her to tears. In just days, Parmar said, her friend’s condition has improved immensely.

By mid-week, she was laughing with friends and though unable to speak because of a tube in her throat, she was able to communicate by mouthing words, gesturing and writing on a white board.

“She totally beat the odds,” said Parmar. “No one would have thought that anybody would come back from the injuries she sustained.”

While her teammates have talked about the irony of her facing such violence after having come to Canada to escape hardship in Africa, Parmar said their friend has been nothing but positive.

“Honestly, the only thing she’s expressed is how grateful she is for the all the support she’s getting.”

Kris Kelly, 22, was arrested following last week’s attack and is charged with attempted murder, unlawful confinement and aggravated sexual assault.

To donate to the GoFundMe campaign, visit https://www.gofundme.com/ypp3qhhg Parmar said Surrey United Soccer Club is also planning a tournament – in which the SFC Rangers will participate – where all funds raised will be donated to anti-violence against women initiatives.

▶ SURREY SEIZURE AMONG BCSPCA’S LARGEST from page 1

Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BCSPCA, said all of the animals were deemed in distress, a term that can describe everything from physical condition of the animals themselves to the conditions in which they are being looked after.

Moriarty said “bio-security issues” – the potential for spread of contagious diseases – were a concern in this case.

The pets are being held under a protective hold – the cats are at Surrey’s new seizure facility, the dogs are being held in Chilliwack – and cannot be viewed or adopted yet.

The seized cats were primarily Persians and short-haired exotics; the dogs included four French bulldogs, a Boston terrier, a Pomeranian with three puppies, a Chihuahua, a poodle, a Rottweiler, a Doberman, a Jack Russell terrier and a shiba inu.

According to information online, the subject property – located in the 19400 block of Colebrook Road – is more than 100 acres; facility proponents advertise having 20 years’ experience in foster care and breeding, a large enclosed garden and 38 rooms.

Reached by the Peace Arch News Wednesday morning, operator Ivy Zhou indicated only that she did not speak English.

“I don’t understand,

sorry,” Zhou said.

The SPCA investigation is ongoing.

Moriarty said the seizure is “absolutely” among the society’s largest.

Other significant cases in recent months

include the seizure last week of 66 animals from an alleged puppy mill in Langley.

In August, officers seized 57 animals – 35 dogs, 16 horses and six cats – from a South Cloverdale property

following complaints of animal neglect.

Moriarty said that case is among “a ton” of files still before the Crown and in which charges have been recommended by the SPCA.

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday Februar y 19 2016

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Do you make the effort to recycle on a regular basis?

To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Do you think B.C.’s Family Day holiday (second Monday of February) should be changed to coincide with other provinces’ Family Day (third Monday of February)?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 85% No 15%

A prognosis for change Changes to the ambulance service, announced on Feb. 5 by the B.C. Emergency Health Services, should prove beneficial to residents in Surrey and Delta.

A total of eight new ambulances are being added and 34 paramedics are being hired. Three of the eight new ambulances will be based in Surrey and none of them will be based in Vancouver.

The City of Vancouver, with its high concentration of health institutions, has long been wellserved by the ambulance service.

B.C. Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) has recognized that it is the fast-growing regions around the city that need help the most.

Thus, Langley and Abbotsford will also get two new ambulances each, while the North Shore will get the eighth one. Meanwhile, in the Tri-Cities area, new paramedics will be hired.

This is a significant recognition that, in fast-growing areas (mostly within Fraser Health Authority), the level of service provided isn’t up to the highest standards. BCEHS’s target is that in 75 per cent of calls for service, an ambulance will arrive in under nine minutes.

BCEHS Executive Vice-President Linda Lupini said that new ambulances and more staff are only part of the answer to improving response times. BCEHS is looking at a number of ways to

speed up response times. Among the most important is to reduce the amount of time paramedics wait in hospital emergency rooms to hand over incoming patients.

For these waiting times to be reduced, hospitals, particularly in the FHA, need to make reforms to how they deal with patients in the emergency departments.

This will not be easy. Wait times in the busiest FHA hospitals often stretch out for many hours.

Lupini also said a number of calls that are currently made to the ambulance service can be redirected, with patients dealing with a physician over the phone or paramedics seeing and treating patients without taking them to the hospital.

Local fire departments have been complaining about the long wait times for ambulances, as firefighters who respond to medical distress calls must wait until the ambulance arrives. This has the potential to tie up firefighters when they are needed elsewhere.

Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis is optimistic about the changes, saying he believes they will make the system more efficient.

The changes could go further, but there isn’t likely the political will to do so. Firefighters are first

responders and have taken on that role for many years. However, they are not paramedics and their duties when arriving on scene are primarily to stabilize patients.

Municipalities could agree to have firefighters trained as paramedics and thus assume more of the costs for health care, which is a provincial responsibility. Or conversely, the ambulance service could expand even further and actually take over as first responders.

Neither move is particularly likely, given that municipalities are reluctant to spend more of their budgets on health care. The province, meanwhile, has greatly benefitted from the effective download of some of its health care responsibilities to local taxpayers.

No matter if there are more significant changes in the works or not, the additional ambulances and paramedics coming to the fastest-growing areas of B.C. will be busy from the moment they arrive. The population of Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford and other surrounding areas will keep growing, and people who move there need to have timely access to medical services.

INBOX ▼ LONG-TERM TREATMENT PLAN NEEDED

Few resources for mentally ill adults I am writing about mental health in response to the letters to the editor in last Wednesday’s Leader (Feb. 10).

It was great reading the letters – not great that people are suffering, but great that more of us are not keeping the suffering to ourselves as much.

Nonetheless, society still has a long way to go before mental health is as openly looked at as, for example, cancer. Those of us who suffer with mental health issues do not choose to engage in them.

I have been battling with mental health issues for eight years, however, I feel like I have been emotionally struggling ever since Grade 2. I am almost 22.

I have been dealing with an eating disorder, along with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and depression. As a youth, getting help was easily available.

There are still not as many resources as for someone battling a physical crisis, but if you seek them, resources are there.

As I hit rock bottom during my youth, I went into treatment and was able to actively recover for about a year.

However, I relapsed, and the difference was I was an adult. Boy, do things change.

Getting help is so much more difficult. Instead of all the free resources available to children, adults must pay unless they are so medically unstable

they are required to go to hospital.

That is what happened to me.

Currently I am getting help from outpatient services and am getting ready to go into a full-time recovery residence.

There needs to be action by our government to provide more accessible resources as well as better education about such conditions. Mental health needs to be in the forefront just like any other illness.

One in five people suffer from a mental illness and almost everyone knows someone who has been struggling. If people don’t know someone, then that is because most people suffer in silence.

It was with familiarity that I read the letter “When will we treat those who suffer?” in The Leader Feb. 10.

I too have a loved one who is a slave to alcohol that she uses to quiet the demons of childhood abuse and trauma. The addiction has cost her her children, friends and home. Her life now consists of evictions for unpaid rent, homeless shelters and hospital stays. Social agencies put their own bandage on her that is peeled off the next Welfare Wednesday. There is no coordination to get her the ongoing support she needs.

In moments of sobriety, there is still the bubbly, do-anything-foranyone personality. Sadness is knowing this person will disappear as soon as alcohol is available.

Many will say she needs to take responsibility. Before this experience I would have said the same. But multiple brain scans show her brain has been altered by years of alcohol abuse and she is no longer in control. She does want help; she has been to a treatment centre and was sober for a while, but fell off the wagon. Her brain demands alcohol as much as it does air.

Taxpayers spend tens of thousands of dollars on her for shelters and hospital stays. This money would be better spent if there was a mechanism for family members, with the assistance of health officials, to get these hurting souls into long-term treatment.

Shooting inquest ends with 16 recommendations ▶ HEARING INTO FATAL DELTA POLICE SHOOTING OF MAN OUTSIDE CASINO AIMS TO PREVENT SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES SHEILA REYNOLDS

A coroner’s inquest into the shooting of a man outside a casino more than three years go has ended with 16 recommendations, several dealing with improving mental health services.

Mehrdad Bayrami, 48, was shot outside Starlight Casino in New Westminster in November 2012 after an hours-long standoff with police.

He had accosted and confined his ex-girlfriend earlier in the day, subsequently letting her go, but was armed and refused to surrender to police.

Delta Police Const. Jordan MacWilliams, who was part of the Municipal Integrated Emergency Response Team (MIERT) at the time, was among more than two dozen officers on scene and shot Bayrami in the abdomen. Bayrami died 10 days later in hospital.

A week-long inquest by the B.C. Coroners Service began Feb. 9 into the incident, with 16 recommendations released by a jury this week.

They include suggestions that the Chief

Coroner review public education to improve access to services and reduce stigma about mental health issues, as well as analyzing the effectiveness of bail conditions in preventing harm.

It was also recommended the director of B.C. Police Services establish and publish provincial standards for its ERTs (Emergency Response Teams), including required experience and qualifications of members, training and communication plan for dealing with affected family members.

Also suggested was that police create a system to flag multiple files relating to a single person, “with a goal to initiate intervention as needed.”

The jury recommended the Minister of Health ensure family doctors have access to supportive services for patients, including psychological support, and that an accessible directory of early counselling support be created to improve support for people in distress.

Also suggested was that the Ministry of Education create curriculum addressing issues of mental health throughout the kindergarten to Grade 12 system.

Bayrami’s daughter told the inquest her father suffered from severe depression and said she likely could have helped talk him down.

The coroner’s inquest does not assign blame, but is tasked with making recommendations aimed at preventing similar incidents.

Surrey Board of Trade offers cautious support of tax hike ▶ PROPOSED 3.9% INCREASE PROMPTS RECOMMENDATIONS TRACY HOLMES

The Surrey Board of Trade may be backing the city’s proposed 2016 tax hike – a 3.9 per cent jump – but officials have made it clear they still have considerable concerns they would like city

leaders to address.

In a six-page letter to council, board CEO Anita Huberman summarizes recommendations for areas including development and land use, the cultural grants process, light rail, anti-gang programming, disclosure of work done by council’s audit committee and affordable housing.

Regarding the latter,

Huberman notes the city’s rapid growth in residential development, if it continues, “will drive longtime Surrey residents out of areas that are seeing the most development and displace residents who have deep roots in their community.”

Huberman encourages council to “take a leadership role in protecting longtime res-

will continue to drive electricity prices so high that they have effectively ‘killed’ the e-car.

(Who would have guessed it?)

But for all the economic ups and downs and the buffeting by ‘macro-trends’ and ‘futuristic forecasting’, certain constants are discernable in car buying. Take any ‘top ten’ list at almost any given moment and you will see consumer choices that reflect wide-spread preferences…and here come the generalities: light trucks are the most popular vehicle type on the road because of their functionality and their reliability. They give value for money.

In 2015, Ford F-series trucks were the best-selling truck in the world and the third best-selling vehicle on the planet. Crossover SUVs are everywhere now: Toyota’s RAV4 and Honda’s CR-V are bestsellers: functional, reliable, fuel-efficient because light and smallish but also good to excellent in safety ratings.

In the sedan category: the Hyundai Elantra, the Honda Civic, Toyota’s Camry and Corolla, and Ford’s Focus—albeit with some fluctuation, for many years now these vehicles have hung in on best-seller lists because they are reliable, fuel-efficient, safe, comfortable, well-designed and functional.

They give value for money.

In the luxury car market there is a long consistent history of total sales numbers reflecting the smaller size of this market.

Branding issues are critically important this segment. Regulation has ensured that innovative safety features must be incorporated in all vehicles regardless of their particular market segment and fuel efficiency requirements mean that fuel and engine technologies are more uniform. Vehicle quality is an expectation for even the most humble offering, so expensive vehicles must justify their price in the main by cosmetic and styling details more than anything else.

he automotive market is vast and generalizing about it is challenging.

Nevertheless, we see frequent sales reports—monthly, if not weekly—and pinpointed—country-by-country or even state-by-state or province-by-province—and by brand, model, and price category.

Reminders, however, of the cyclical nature of the market may be helpful. Eight years ago, the US and Canadian governments were bailing out some automotive manufacturers.

Today, vehicle sales are brisk and recordbreaking to the upside in many parts of the world. And stretching back three decades, oil prices were high and ‘peak oil’ was said to be imminent spawning fuel-efficient compact vehicles.

Today, the oil market resembles nothing like the old forecasts, and trucks, SUVs, and crossovers—with much improved fuel efficiency—again rank as bestsellers. When, in the mid-2000s, pollution concerns became the fixation, alternative fuels, hybrids, and the electric car were expected to be the imminent solutions.

Today, alternative ‘fuels’ like ethanol, natural gas, and compressed hydrogen still cannot compete pricewise or conveniencewise. Despite significant advancements in battery design and power output, and the likes of Tesla and BMW’s i8, for example— skyrocketing electricity prices and the stalledout development of plug-in infrastructure …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor are contributing to the slow uptake of e-cars.

She recommends Surrey re-introduce an affordable housing levy on new residential developments and mandate that affordable housing comprise part of each of those developments.

At the same time, Huberman is encouraging council to establish a “Nexus Lane” policy to streamline processes for developers with significant track records

in Surrey. Approval, she notes “should be positive experience with development in Surrey and not focused on the size or financial status of any individual developer.”

Huberman also expressed concern over findings of a review of council’s audit committee that showed repeated use of a section under the Community Charter that allows parts of a council meeting to be closed to the public.

“As a result, the extent of the committee’s work to review the reports of Internal Audit is not available to the public,” she writes.

Huberman suggested council review use of the charter section and expand disclosure where appropriate.

Other recommendations in the letter include better disclosure of arts and culture expenditures “for greater clarity of the budget dollars flowing to arts and culture”; continue efforts to move light rail forward; and provide supportive programming for youth geared to avoiding gang-related crime.

Metro seeks new back-up landfill â–ś WASTE-TOENERGY PUSH NOT OVER: COMMITTEE CHAIRPERSON JEFF NAGEL

Metro Vancouver is looking for a new landfill to accept the region’s excess garbage that’s not either burned at its Burnaby incinerator or dumped at the Vancouver Landfill in Delta.

The regional district’s contract to use the Cache Creek landfill expires at the end of this year, so Metro will call for bids for a replacement to take 50,000 to 200,000 tonnes of garbage per year for seven years. “The original hope was that we would have our new waste-to-energy facility up and

running but that hasn’t happened for many reasons,� Metro zero waste committee chair Malcolm Brodie said. “So now we need contingency landfills either until the waste volumes are significantly reduced or until waste-to-energy gets up and running.�

Metro announced in December it was

halting its procurement process for a new incinerator but left the door open to restart it at a later date.

Brodie said while opponents may have concluded the project was dead, it will come back for reconsideration in the second half of this year. “The plan is still on,�

Brodie said. “There’s been no change in intention. We still think waste-to-energy is the most effective way from an environmental and economic standpoint.�

A representative of the Rabanco landfill run by Republic Services in southern Washington said the firm hopes to win the contingency landfill contract, which would see up to 10 railway cars per day double stacked with garbage

Metro Vancouver’s contract to send garbage to the Cache Creek landfill expires this year. containers and hauled south on the BNSF rail line.

Other landfills as far away as Alberta or Oregon could also be in the running.

While the original Cache Creek landfill is set to close, an adjacent expansion has been approved that could also be a contender.

A total of 800,000 tonnes of Metro Vancouver garbage is expected to require disposal this year, a number that has declined over the years

as recycling efforts improved.

About 400,000 tonnes is expected to go to the Vancouver Landfill in Delta in 2016, while 270,000 tonnes will be incinerated and a final 130,000 tonnes will go to Cache Creek.

The new contract will allow Metro to terminate it on one yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice if waste flows fall sharply.

The regional district is also preparing to issue new contracts to operate its waste transfer stations in Surrey, Coquitlam, Langley, Maple Ridge and the North Shore.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently considering proposals from five short-listed bidders.

Up until about 2007, Metro landfilled 500,000 tonnes a year at the Cache Creek dump and another 750,000 tonnes at the Vancouver Landfill â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â use of that site in Burns Bog is to gradually scale down towards an eventual closure.

Those waste volumes shrank over the years, and with them Metro officials pared down their plans for a new incinerator.

Recent fluctuations in waste flow â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â as some commercial haulers chose to take garbage to Abbotsford for shipment to the U.S. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â added more uncertainty to the waste-to-energy calculations, prompting Metro to shelve the plan rather than overbuild.

Newly built homes worth up to $750,000 are exempt from B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property transfer tax under changes in the provincial budget that take effect immediately.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong expects to make up most of the lost revenue by increasing the tax rate from two to three per cent on the value of homes in excess of $2 million.

For resold homes, property purchase tax continues to apply at one per cent on the first $200,000 of value and two per cent on value between $200,000 and $2 million.

The tax has produced a windfall for the province and pushed home purchase costs even higher in the hot market for homes in some urban areas. The government expects to collect about $200 million more than it budgeted for the current year, due to soaring prices and a high number of sales.

De Jong said the break is aimed at new construction to

Mike de Jong

The exemption is only available to Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and the government is resuming tracking nationality of buyers, a practice stopped in 1998.

The upper limit to qualify for the homeowner grant is also increased from $1.1 million to $1.2 million for the 2016 property tax year.

are being charged only for adults starting in 2017, and the qualifying income for reduced premiums is going up from $30,000 to $42,000 for single people.

The new system creates a break for single parents, who will pay a single adult rate of $78 a month instead of the current rate of $150 charged for a family of three. A single senior or single parent with one child and an income of $45,000 may also be eligible for reduced premiums.

The changes will reduce rates for an additional 335,000 people, and 45,000 more people will be exempted from paying as long as they are registered and qualify. But rates overall continue to rise. With a four per cent increase in personal rate this year and growing population, the government expects to collect more MSP each year of its three-year budget plan than with the current system.

Opposition raps ‘fantasy fund,’ MSP fees ▶ HELP FOR LOWINCOME PEOPLE TOO SLOW IN COMING, SAYS CAROLE JAMES TOM FLETCHER

The B.C. Liberal government’s new “prosperity fund” is effectively financed by Medical Services Plan (MSP) fees, not the natural gas windfall promised by Premier Christy Clark three years ago, say Opposition MLAs. In her response

service fees.

Green Party leader Andrew Weaver said the MSP changes are a “halfway step” in the right direction.

“We see individuals and families earn-

ing modest incomes continuing the pay the same rates as those who are earning six-digit salaries, and assistance remains contingent on an opt-in system,”

Weaver said.

James said contrary to de Jong’s description of a nation-leading provincial economy, B.C.’s private sector job growth is sixth among provinces and

average consumer debt is $10,000 higher than the national average.

“We see people leaning on payday loans and credit cards to try to pay their bills,” James said.

nated as a regressive tax. De Jong argues that MSP covers only 14 per cent of a growing health care budget, and eliminating it would amount to hiding the cost in the general tax system.

Prosperity fund gets seed money

With liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects delayed, Premier Christy Clark’s promise of a “B.C. Prosperity Fund” has been launched with $100 million from the current budget surplus.

The fund was touted in the 2013 election as a way to pay off debt starting in 2017, and reduce or even eliminate B.C.’s sales tax with revenues from five LNG plants. But

with a glut of oil and gas internationally, no major project is expected to be under construction by the 2017 election.

Including the fund in his 2016-17 budget, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said most people would agree with “the notion that we would take a modest amount of money out of our chequing account and put it in our savings account.”

The finance ministry expects a surplus of $377 million at the end of the current fiscal year and $264 million in the fiscal year that begins April 1.

The prosperity fund is restricted to a minimum 50 per cent to pay down debt, 25 per cent saved to earn interest and the rest available to spend on health care, transportation and other government functions.

Income assistance payments for people with disabilities are to increase up to $77 per month effective Sept. 1, but transit passes will no longer be covered.

Bus passes have only been provided for some regions of the province, an unfair situation for those who can’t take advantage of transit, said Finance Minister Mike de Jong.

The increase will be across the board and recipients can choose for themselves if they use it for transit or other needs.

The B.C. Liberal government has resisted calls for an increase in the general social assistance rate, but has ended the clawback of child support payments to single parents.

Since 2012 the government has moved to encourage income assistance recipients to work, allowing earnings up to $200 a month without losing benefits for those who file tax returns.

People on disability assistance can retain up to $800 a month, up from $500 in 2012.

City of Surrey looks to invest in Cloverdale ▶ RESIDENTS PROMISED UPGRADES AND NEW FACILITIES JENNIFER LANG

The list of civic infrastructure promises for Cloverdale and Clayton is adding up.

Residents of Surrey’s fastest-growing neighbourhoods are promised a $40-million Clayton Library, a $10-million addition to the Surrey Museum and a $30-million arena with two sheets of ice, said Mike Bola, president of the Cloverdale Community Association (CCA).

“We pushed for a new arena and more amenities for Clayton during the last election and have succeeded,” Bola said. “It’s great to see they’re keeping their word.”

The association, which works to provide a voice at city hall for Cloverdale and Clayton residents, has been a presence at the city’s finance committee, urging council to expedite local projects.

Bola said the CCA has long been lobbying for better recreational amenities, including the ice arena, which will replace the current one on 176 Street at 62 Avenue (Bill Reid Way) on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, next to the Cloverdale Recreation Centre.

Laurie Cavan, general manager of Parks, Recreation and Culture, said planning for the arena will be underway in 2016, and added “we hope to get into the ground, if possible, by the end of this year” with completion in 2019.

Also planned is a new, $2-million artificial turf field at Cloverdale Athletic Park.

“Anyone who drives past it, walks past it or stands there engaged in some sport in the park knows just how busy it is, and what an asset it is to the community,” Cavan said.

The investment plays into the city’s larger strategy to bid on big events and encourage tournaments to come to Surrey.

“People come to our city, they stay in our city, they come and spend money here,” she said. “That’s an important part of our council’s economic de-

velopment strategy.”

On the cultural side of things, downtown Cloverdale will be welcoming a significant new addition to the Surrey Museum, which opened 10 years ago.

The extra space will mean the museum can double its exhibit space, permitting it to host national-and international-level exhibits, something the present building cannot do.

The addition will also double the children’s area, broadening the museum’s appeal in terms of repeat visits.

“We really want to be creating a very dynamic, family-oriented museum exhibition experience,” Cavan said. “So, when kids go there, they want to be looking forward to when they can go back.”

The Surrey Museum is also fostering

partnerships with local stakeholders, such as the B.C. Vintage Truck Museum and the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society, which built and runs Surrey’s Heritage Rail operations out of the replica 1910 Cloverdale Station.

“We know there’s already lots of talks underway to create a real tourism destination right in that hub of Cloverdale,”

OPEN HOUSE

AN INVITATION TO A PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE Please join us for a public open house to learn about two concept plans for two parks in Fleetwood and to provide your comments on the proposed plans. These parks were acquired through the development of the surrounding area and will serve as local parks for the neighbourhood.

Staff will be available to provide background information and to discuss potential amenities for the parks. The information gathered at this meeting will be used to refine the concept plans for each park into final plans.

Date: Wednesday, February 24th, 2016 Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m Location: William Watson Elementary - Gym 16450 80 Ave

For information and updates on the project, or to provide feedback online, please visit www.surrey.ca/newparks. If you have any questions, email parksrecculture@surrey.ca or call 604-501-5050. We look forward to hearing from you regarding these new parks.

Cavan said.

The city is preparing for 300,000 new residents – or about 10,000 people a year – over the next 30 years, with 16,000 new residents expected to come to Clayton.

Cavan said the new Clayton library will be built on 72 Avenue, between the existing Clayton Heights Secondary and the new Clayton North Secondary School, with work commencing in late 2016 or early 2017.

Cavan also provided more details about Hazelgrove Park, which is nearing completion. Designed in consultation with residents, park amenities include soccer fields, tennis courts, washrooms and a spray park.

“So, a real community hub for all the residents that are going to be moving into that area.”

Also being worked on this year is 3.7-hectare Bose Forest Park, which is being created in the wake of new residential development on other portions of the heritage West Cloverdale property.

It’s also been designed with community input. Known for its large Douglas fir trees, it will include walking

HOME BUYING OPTIONS

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT “The best way millennials can prepare for the future of the housing market is by consulting a professional who can sit down and answer whatever questions they may have.”

Many paths remain available to owning a home

People seek the long-term benefit of home ownership

By Nicolle Hodges Whether you are a millennial looking to move out, or you’re planning for retirement, we all want a place to call home.

While January tends to see a slow down, so far demand for Fraser Valley homes hasn’t let up at all. The MLS® HPI benchmark price of a Fraser Valley single family detached home in January was $689,300 – an increase of 20.6 per cent compared to January 2015 when it was $571,700.

“When I bought my house in 1995 I paid $159,000,” says 51-year-old Petra Niemeyer. “This year's property assessment is about $345,000 - a $5,000 increase compared to last year. I rent rooms so I can afford the mortgage and have the luxury of having a backyard and a garden.”

Niemeyer plans to use her home as her retirement plan, which isn’t an uncommon option for many like her who have yet to contribute to an RRSP. That being said, knowing what she does now about the market, if she could give her 20-year-old self one piece of advice it would be to save, save, save.

“Owning a house is definitely a luxury many can't afford,” she says.

“I believe that some cultures have it right by living together with family or having a suite in the basement as a

mortgage helper.”

The average price of a home in Abbotsford is $509,100; in Surrey prices sit at $690,200 and in Langley it's $698,400.

For millennials entering the market, Jorda Maisey, President of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board says that realistically, a twenty-something individual or couple won’t be able to afford a detached home in the heart of somewhere like Langley right off the bat.

“However, a Realtor can help you look at townhouses in Cloverdale for just over $300,000, or apartments in Abbotsford for under $150,000,” she adds.

For 26-year-old Janelle Cumiskey, buying a house in Abbotsford is a huge priority.

“The biggest thing for me is to establish myself with credit so I can go get a mortgage when I am ready,” she says. “I am interested in buying a house one day, but hopefully, it can be when I am married so we can split the down payment.”

While it may be a tough time to be a first-time homebuyer, Maisey says that it’s not necessarily causing young people to live at home or rent for longer than average.

“People want to own a home, and see the long-term benefit of having one – financially, and personally,” she says. “Although, I am seeing a lot of younger home buyers and first-time purchasers who are taking their time and getting established before making that step. Whether that’s starting a family, securing a long-term job, or getting used to the neighbourhood, there’s many reasons why millennials may ‘hold back’ rather than take the plunge early.”

Luckily for Kristin Stewart (24) and her boyfriend Travis Holloway (29), who just bought their first place in Abbotsford, they had a little help.

“We knew that it was something we wanted to do sooner rather than later,” says Stewart. “Travis’s dad gave us $50,000 for a down payment, so that also made it more affordable for us.”

She adds that since it’s so expensive to buy a house these days, they don’t think they could have afforded it as this point was with help.

The best way millennials can prepare for the future of the housing market is by consulting a professional who can sit down and answer whatever questions they may have.

“This is the biggest purchase of your life, so feeling informed and supported is critical,” says Maisey. “It’s equally important to get your foot in the door and to feel good about that purchase.

You want to cherish your first home rather than purchasing it for the sake of owning something. Again, consult a Realtor, and find the best fit for your situation.”

Although it’s impossible to forecast the changes in the housing market over the next 5-10 years, Maisey ad-

vises being smart and knowing your needs and limits so that you can find the best fit for a first home.

“Things move so quickly, and it’s shaped by so many factors, that trying to predict what will happen even a few months from now is fruitless,” she says. “The important thing is to understand what’s happening now and how it impacts your home or your path to owning one.”

NDP calls B.C. housing plan a step back ▶ CHRISTY CLARK ANNOUNCED MAJOR SOCIAL HOUSING PROGRAM

TOM FLETCHER

The B.C. government is committing to put an additional $335 million into social housing projects over the next five years, most of

it from transfers of property to non-profit societies.

Premier Christy Clark announced the social housing program before this week’s provincial budget, calling

it “the largest single social and affordable housing investment in the province’s history.”

That description was targeted by the Opposition, which said it represents a reduction

STREET TREES

Please don’t prune City street trees!

To ensure the health of our street trees, the City of Surrey prunes the trees in accordance with International Society of Arboriculture Best Practices and Standards.

City By-law 5835 prohibits damage to City trees, including unauthorized or substandard pruning.

in the commitment made in the government’s 2015 plan.

NDP housing critic David Eby said Monday the announcement by Clark and Housing Minister Rich Coleman came after the government was caught redirecting proceeds of social housing sales to general revenue.

“Under this program, the province sells public assets, social housing across the province, to non-profit organizations,” Eby told the legislature.

“Unfortunately, when they sell this social housing, they do not and they cannot, because of the economics, guarantee that all of the units will continue to be rented at non-market rates.

That’s rents affordable by seniors, to people with disabilities, to families living in poverty.

“A significant number

Christy Clark of these units will be rented at what he called market rates, which is a fancy way of saying rates that are not affordable to the people who used to live in those units.”

The B.C. Liberal government’s plan to invest directly in new social housing is a change from Coleman’s past policy to focus on rent subsidies rather than direct spending on social housing. The province currently pays rent assistance to near-

‘Hidden’ fees on new homes targeted ▶ PROVINCE TO SHINE LIGHT ON CITIES’ CHARGES JEFF NAGEL

The provincial government has served notice it intends to make municipalities share in some of the blame for high housing costs.

Earlier this month, the province indicated it will “work with municipalities to reduce the hidden cost in home purchases, and to make those hidden costs clear and transparent to the home buyer.”

That’s expected to translate into a requirement that home buyers receive a breakdown of how various fees and levies imposed by local governments on developers add to the cost of a new unit.

Premier Christy Clark said she won’t force cities to reduce their fees, which help fund everything from water and sewer lines to parks and social housing.

“We don’t intend to interfere with that,” Clark told reporters. “I think local governments are just as concerned about this as I am. So hopefully they’ll address their end of it.”

www.surrey.ca/trees

A 2014 study commissioned by the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association (GVHBA) found municipal fees and charges added $17,124 or four per cent to the cost of a typical townhouse across Metro Vancouver.

But that can vary wildly – the study found fees in Surrey added $33,700 or 10 per cent to the cost of each unit in one sample development.

GVHBA CEO Bob de Wit said the total additional costs from fees and taxes likely climbs to around 23 per cent once provincial and federal taxes are added.

“If we can reduce that 23 per cent from all government fees to 15 or 18 per cent, that’s a huge chunk of money for most people and it could be the difference between not being able to buy at all or buying a house instead of a townhouse or a townhouse instead of a condo,” de Wit said.

While rising land values are the dominant factor in soaring prices for Vancouver houses, de Wit said fees “matter a lot” for first-time buyers seeking more affordable entry-level homes, particularly in outlying suburbs.

ly 30,000 low-income seniors and families, and funds another 41,000 in independent social housing.

The latest commitment is to expand social housing with $50 million in the fiscal year that starts April 1, another $50 million the following year, $75 million in 2018-19 and $90 million each of the next two years.

Coleman said the money comes from the province’s non-profit asset transfer program, begun in 2014.

“Its success is allowing us to reinvest money back into affordable housing across the province, while also helping non-profit societies secure the financing they need to be sustainable,” Coleman said.

The B.C. government defines “affordable housing” as costing 30 per cent or less of the household’s gross income.

In 2015 over 720 earthquakes above 1.5 in magnitude were reported along the Pacific Coast. Over 400 occurred in BC. The largest reported was 6.2 magnitude in Kitimat BC and second largest was 5.9 off the coast of Oregon. The recent one in North Saanich BC was reported between 4.2 and 4.8 in severity.

Ray Moschuk CAIB Insurance companies generally stop selling earthquake Financial Advisor coverage when there has been a quake equal to a magnitude of 5.0 or more and hold off selling coverage for at least 10 more days to take into account aftershocks.

What does this mean? If you have earthquake insurance you are covered for damage caused by the quake up to the limit of your insurance. You can choose from a 5%, 10% or 15% deductible when you purchase the policy.

If you don’t have earthquake insurance you are solely responsible for all of the costs of repair even if you have experienced a total loss. If the property is mortgaged that loan will still need to be paid.

A shifting bra and breast form can be caused by two things.

The first is that your breast form is either too light or too heavy. Many women want the lightest Cindy possible breast form they can get. “Light isn’t Certified Fitter/Owner always right”! If your breast is heavier then the form it will pull your bra over to your natural side and the prosthesis with it. Your bra will end up riding up under your arm, rubbing, and your prosthesis will end up around your chin!

The second thing is that your bra could be too loose around your middle. If it is an older bra, chances are it has stretched and is no longer supporting you properly. Time for a new fitting.

The Wenatchee Wild may have shown up late to South Surrey Arena Sunday afternoon, but they wasted little time scoring once they finally did hit the ice.

The Wild were delayed in arriving the Valentineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day contest against the Surrey Eagles due to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bus breaking down en route from Washington, but despite the travel hiccup â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plus an abbreviated pre-game warm-up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Wenatchee forward Charlie Combs scored just 57 seconds into the game, and then Dakota Raabe made it 2-0 less than two minutes later.

In the second period, the visitors â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â who sit in second place in the BC Hockey Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mainland Division â&#x20AC;&#x201C; scored twice more, with Bryan Yoon and Brandon Puricelli finding the back of the net.

The third period was much of the same, with the Wild â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been undefeated against the last-place Eagles this year, despite some close calls â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â scoring twice more to escape town with a 6-0 shutout victory.

Wenatchee goaltender Chase Perry stopped all 23 shots en route to his fifth shutout of the season. Veteran netminder Justin Laforest stopped 35 shots on goal for the Eagles in a losing effort.

After a recent schedule that has included plenty of three-games-in-one-weekend stretches, this past one was a bit lighter for the Birds, whose only other game last week â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â aside from the Wenatchee loss â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â was a rare midweek tilt at South Surrey Arena against the division rival Langley Rivermen, which the home side lost 4-2.

Langley took a 1-0 lead in the first period on a goal from Justin Szeto, and Zac Masson made it 2-0 in the second period. The Eagles

fought back to tie the game in the third period, however, after back-to-back goals from Brett Stewart â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who fired a rocket from the blue-line that beat Rivermen goalie Nick Trenciansky â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and captain Paul McAvoy, but the tie didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold up before the final buzzer.

Langleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s John Schuldt broke the deadlock with 3:17 left in the game and Zach Bleuler iced it with an empty-netter to give the visitors the two-goal margin of victory.

Laforest was in net for Surrey, stopping 33 of 36 shots.

This weekend begins the Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final set of weekend home games of the season, with a 7 p.m. tilt tonight (Friday) against the Cowichan Valley Capitals. On Sunday, at 4 p.m., Surrey hosts the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

Sunday is also fan-appreciation night, which includes a post-game skate for young fans, as well as an autograph session with the players.

Hawks alone in first United trio to play for Cascades ▶ MAJOR MIDGET TEAM ON THE VERGE OF A LEAGUE PENNANT

▶ SURREY U18 TEAMMATES SIGNS WITH UNIVERSITY OF THE FRASER VALLEY

RICK KUPCHUK

BLACK PRESS

The Valley West Hawks are just a win away from their first-ever regular season championship.

The BC Hockey Major Midget League team took both ends of a two-game set with the Vancouver Chiefs, while the second-place Cariboo Cougars split with the Vancouver Giants.

The Cougars are two points back of the 29-61 (win-loss-tie) Hawks, but have just two games remaining. Valley West has four games left on its schedule.

“It was a stretch goal for us at the beginning of the season to finish first,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “We know that it doesn’t count for a lot come playoffs but it’s still a great accomplishment for our squad.”

Valley West edged the Chiefs 6-5 in Coquitlam Saturday evening, giving up the game’s first goal but rallying for a 3-1 lead after one period.

Christian Bosa scored twice, with Justin De Vos adding a shorthanded goal. Ilijah Colina and Josh Bruce extended the lead to 5-1 early in the second period, and when Bosa completed his hat trick midway through the game, Valley West was up 6-2.

Vancouver got one goal back late in the second, and tallied twice in the third period, but weren’t able to score a tying goal.

James Malm assisted on three of the six Valley West goals.

“We took the game for granted at 6-2 and lost

Three members of the Surrey United soccer program have committed to playing for the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades next season.

Defender Ryan Donald, midfielder David Parfett and goalie Jesse March have signed with the Cascades and will join the Canadian Interuniversity Sports (CIS) team in the fall. All three currently play for Surrey United in the U18 division of the EA Sports

BC Soccer Premier League (BCSPL).

Donald, who plays right back, was part of the Surrey United team which placed third at last year’s U18 national championships and is considered the top right back in his age group by Cascades head coach Tom Lowndes.

“We’re thrilled to add an athlete of Ryan’s calibre,” Lowndes said of the Johnston Heights Secondary student.

“He’s pretty much the modern-day fullback – he gets up and down the pitch, and he attacks as well as he defends.

He’s the captain of the Surrey U18 team, so he’s a leader and he’s very vocal. I think that’ll

stand him in good stead when he joins us.”

Parfett and March have both played for provincial youth teams, and along with Donald, has Lowndes excited about adding three players from one youth team onto his roster.

“Any time you have cohesion like that, it’s special,” he said.

“These guys have played together now for a few years for one of the top teams in the BCSPL. I think that familiarity will help them transition to the university environment.

They’re at a very good club with a good training environment, and they’ve got great attitudes.”

Christian Bosa of the Valley West Hawks scored twice in a 6-5 win over the Vancouver Chiefs.

our focus,” said Leung.

“It was a good lesson for us to learn while still pulling out the two points.”

After a poor finish Saturday, the Hawks started slow Monday night, in the Langley Events Centre and were tied with the Chiefs 2-2 midway through game.

But Valley West dominated the final 30 minutes, and led 5-2 after two periods and went on to a 9-3 victory.

“We learned our lesson from Saturday.

Even at 6-2 we knew we couldn’t let up,” said Leung. “You never like running the score up on a team like that, but we respect the Chiefs enough to know that we couldn’t leave the door open for them.”

Justyn Gurney led the Hawks with a pair of goals. Bruce, Bradley Stonnell, Oliver Alcock,

Daniel Chifan, Michael Farren, Ian Ross and Ben Evanish added one each. Malm, Colina, Stonnell, Bobby Russell and Kabir Gill each assisted on a pair of goals.

“We showed spurts of next-level hockey.

For parts of both games we dominated puck possession and really controlled the pace of the game,” noted Leung.

“There were some great signs for our playoff bound team, but a definite lack of consistency.”

Valley West will play its final two home games this weekend against the fifth-place South Island Royals, seeking two points to clinch top spot. The two teams face-off Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at the Sungod Arena in North Delta and again Sunday morning at 9 a.m. in the Langley Events Centre.

Hannah Milic won two medals at the BC Short Course AA Championships in Penticton last weekend.

The Delta Sungod Swim Club member was very successful at the meet, which featured 350 swimmers in several age groups. Milic, 14, qualified for the final in all six events she contested, winning a gold medal in the 200m butterfly and a silver medal in the 400m individual medley.

She was also fifth in the 200m individual medley, 200m breast stroke and the 100m butterfly, and seventh in the 50m butterfly. Her times in the two butterfly races and the 400m individual medley were good enough to qualify for the provincial AAA championships.

Amaris Gutierrez Sandoval, 14, qualified for one final, placing sixth in the 200m butterfly.

Cory Bullock and Maddison Lupien swam in consolation finals.

Bullock, 15, placed 12th in the 200m and 400m freestyle races, and was 13th in the 200m back stroke, while Lupien, 16, was 16th in the 800m freestyle.

Program aims to turn smokers into runners ▶ CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY AND RUNNING ROOM LAUNCH RUN TO QUIT PROGRAM BLACK PRESS

A new program is offering help to thousands of British Columbians kick their smoking habit and get healthier.

With funding from the Public Health Agency of Canada, Run to Quit is a groundbreaking smoking cessation program that

combines the power of peer support with community running and walking clinics to help British Columbians quit smoking for good.

As well as enjoying a healthier lifestyle, Run to Quit participants have an additional incentive with chances to win cash prizes and a new vehicle valued at $25,000.

While the majority of people in B.C. do not smoke, more than 563,000 – 14 per cent of the population – still do. Lung cancer accounts for more than 3,000 cancer deaths in

B.C. and it continues to be the leading cause of cancer death in the province. Run to Quit builds on the success of a pilot project in Ottawa which found that integrating smoking cessation peer support and a healthy lifestyle makes an individual seven times more likely to quit for good.

“We know that quitting smoking and adopting a healthy lifestyle are proven ways to reduce an individual’s cancer risk,” said Stacey Berisavac, manager of health promotion for the Canadi-

an Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon. “What’s groundbreaking about Run to Quit is that it offers people a way to quit for good by integrating physical activity as well as support, encouragement and coaching every step of the way.”

The founder of the Running Room, John Stanton, knows firsthand how valuable being active can be to ditching unhealthy habits.

A three-kilometre fun run with his sons in 1981 was the catalyst for the then-out-ofshape, overweight Stanton to realize he had to change his lifestyle.

A food industry executive who smoked two packs of cigarettes a day, he began running secretly before dawn because he felt self-conscious about having his neighbours see “this chubby little guy” who could only run from lamp post to lamp post before having to take a walk break.

As Stanton’s fitness improved, he went on to fill a niche in the marketplace by opening a small one-room store in the renovated living room of an old house

in Edmonton, hence the name, “Running Room.” That one store has since expanded to more than 117 locations across Canada and the U.S. To ensure participants in the Run to Quit program are successful, the B.C. Lung Association’s QuitNow – the province’s primary smoking cessation program – will provide one-to-one personal counselling services and a variety of self-help resources.

“We are excited to be supporting smokers who want to quit through the Run to Quit program,” said Suzanne Gaby, QuitNow Manager. “Our

Run to Quit offers three opportunities to help people stop smoking and become healthier: Running Room in-store clinics; on-line clinics; and Commit to Quit incentive challenge.

In-store Run to Quit community training programs will be held from April to June at two Running Room locations in Vancouver.

Virtual programs will be open to all British Columbians online at runtoquit.com

There is simply no easy fix to going smoke-free, says Suzanne Gaby, manager of the BC Lung Association’s QuitNow program.

“However, while there may be no magic bullet there is certainly a successful approach,” said Gaby. “People who made full use of the QuitNow program – including free, one-on-one counseling with a Quit Coach – have seen amazing results: a 24-per-cent success rate versus four to seven per cent for those going it alone.”

The reason why the QuitNow approach is so successful, Gaby said, is that it is personally tailored to each individual. At the heart of this approach are the program’s Quit Coaches – trained cessation counsel-

Childhood story brought to life ▶ SURREY’S JOHN BANOVICH TAKES THE DIRECTOR’S CHAIR FOR STOLEN PATH, A FILM BASED ON A STORY HE REMEMBERS FROM HIS YOUTH LAUREN COLLINS

A romantic historical drama is the latest project for Cloverdale’s John Banovich, who is the director and one of the producers of a new movie, Stolen Path.

Based on the novel Moc Zemlie by Janko Matko, Stolen Path tells the true story of forbidden love, set against the backdrop of the 19th century feudal Croatia.

According to the film’s synopsis, “When otherwise-engaged heiress Victoria falls for strong-willed peasant boy Matthew, their passionate, clandestine affair results in a ripple effect that threatens to tear both lovers’ families apart forever.”

Banovich, whose father is Croatian, said he remembers having the story read to him as a child. He describes the novel as a “required reading, almost.”

Banovich is an award-winning director who has filmed across Canada. His work has been seen on MTV Europe, SPACE, CNN, CTV, Global TV and the BBC. His movies and documentaries have been screened at film festivals around the world.

Banovich worked with the writer and executive-producer, Goldie Smitlener, on Stolen Path.

Though interested in the story from beginning, and having spoken to Smitlener, he had other jobs in place at the time.

Smitlener ended up working with someone else, but, said Banovich, it “didn’t go very well.”

Eventually, Banovich and Smitlener did a full edit on the script and re-shot most of the film back in the Lower Mainland, maintaining some of the

John Banovich (above right) directed and co-produced Stolen Path (seen being shot, below). The story, based on a novel

by Janko Matko, is set in 19th century Croatia. It stars Daniela Smitlener and Jacob Brkopac. PHOTO ABOVE SUBMITTED, PHOTO BELOW BY BROOK THOMPSON

shots from Croatia.

Filming began again in late summer of 2014 and shot through late March 2015.

Although they were on a small budget, Banovich said his “arsenal of folk” in the industry were a big help.

He added that Smitlener was very determined to make this movie happen, but described her as a “loving, caring grandma who cared for everyone on set.”

Smitlener, whose children once attended Cloverdale Catholic School, found inspiration for the film at the age of 15 after reading Moc Zemlie.

Now 69, Smitlener said the story and themes stuck with her for the next 50 or so years.

“I always thought that it would make a wonderful film,” she said. “There was an attempt some 20 years ago to make a movie of the book, but it did not materialize. So, I decided that I’d do it myself.”

She said her granddaughter Daniela also inspired her. When Daniela was 16, she asked Smitlener what her dream was and Smitlener told her about Stolen Path. From there, the two got to work.

Daniela plays the female protagonist, Victoria.

After buying the rights to the book, Smitlener spent several months breaking down the book and adapting the story to a screenplay.

This was her first script, but she “knew the story well and how best to tackle it.”

Smitlener said she made the film without any of the regular provincial funding or national arts grants.

“I wanted to see this movie, so I reached into my own pocket and put the money up on the silver screen myself.”

She said she wanted tell the story because she “firmly believes that the word ‘love’ is so misused in out society, that it has lost its true meaning.

She describes Stolen Path’s period as a “simpler time when love was everything.

“Even in making the picture, it was love that conquered all the challenges to get the movie to

the screen.”

Banovich said one of the reasons Stolen Path appealed to him was the love story between Smitlener and her granddaughter off-screen and how she was willing to “go the distance” to make the film.

“It impressed the heck out of me,” he said.

Smitlener was 67 when it all started and she wanted to show that her generation “can and should still be productive.

“When people learn that I went out and made a real feature-length movie without years of industry experience, they’re flabbergasted by my persistence and amazed at the final product.”

Banovich said Stolen Path has received a lot of recognition.

“It’s a real surprise. That golden nugget surprise.”

So far, Stolen Path has received recognition around the world, including a Best Actress nod at the Toronto World International Film Festival and a platinum award for a feature film at the International Student and Newcomer in Jakarta, Indonesia.

As for what’s next for Smitlener: “Sell Stolen Path.

The film is in the can, and we’re all really pleased with it. As for the future, I’ve got one more film in me – except this time, I’ll know exactly what I’m getting myself into.”

The common dandelion followed the footsteps, cart wheels and train tracks of settlers and made itself at home across North America.

Every one of its seeds is equipped with a little parachute that wafts it into the air at the slightest breath of wind, carrying it down the road.

Its roots dig deep and new ones sprout readily when the taproot is cut.

Edible and nutritious, the resourceful dandelion is seldom featured on modern menus.

It is only one of hundreds of non-native flowering plants that were introduced into the Lower Mainland, intentionally or accidentally, over the last

150 years.

Such invasives now dominate the landscape, squeezing out the many beautiful native plants that once graced local forests, prairies and wetlands.

Local species that survive should be cherished as heritage plants.

Heritage plants can be looked for in habitats that have survived urbanization, such as the sand dunes in Boundary Bay Regional Park. Here, tiny blue-eyed Mary can be found in spring, mingling with pink thrift and spiky big-headed sedges.

As summer progresses, fragrant stalks of bare stem lomatium, topped with umbrellas of tiny flowers, emerge in the same habitat.

This wild celery is a traditional flavouring and mosquito repellant.

“To take earth, give it personal expression, smooth it with a stone, give it to the fire, changing it from earth

to stone, then embedding the clay into the dust of trees and making it vulnerable to the natural elements, completes a cycle – a cycle in which I am proud to play a part,” she says.

Wee Láy Láq’s ceramic career has spanned more than four decades.

Her one-of-a-kind, hand built, burnished and sawdust-fired vessels have been shown locally, nationally and internationally.

They are located in numerous public, private, and corporate collections.

Her work was shown in the Museum of Anthropology’s 2010 exhibit Border Zones: New Art Across Cultures presented with the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.

In 2015, she was one of six recipients to receive a BC Creative Achievement Award for First Nation Art. Wee Láy Láq is a member of the Stol:lo Nation which has its traditional homeland in the area around the lower Fraser River.

(Visit her website at mmarkham.com/LauraWeeLayLaq.html) There will be time for questions and conversation during and following the Surrey talk, which concludes by 9 p.m.

The event is presented by the Surrey Art Gallery Association in partnership with the Surrey Art Gallery and with support from the Arts Council of Surrey.

The gallery is located at 13750 88 Ave. For more information, call 604-501-5566.

OBITUARIES

HINCKS, Darren

October 12, 1922 – February 11, 2016 Alfred (Fred) was born to Henry and Albine Maurer in Alexandria, Egypt. His parents were Swiss and his father had set up a dentistry practice in Alexandria. His early years were spent in Egypt and around the Greek Islands. He graduated from UBC with a degree in plant science and went on to a Masters in plant science at McGill University. He met his wife Beth while at UBC. Fred accepted an appointment in Plant Science with the UK Colonial Service and they traveled to Nigeria where they resided for twelve years. When they left he was not only head of the station but of all agricultural research in northern Nigeria. In 1962 the family came to Agassiz where they soon became active in the community. Fred worked for Canada Agriculture at the Agassiz Research Station in horticultural science.

He tested/developed varieties and production methods and he supported the vegetable growers in the Fraser Valley. Yukon Gold potatoes were one of his varieties. In those days scientific research had a direct impact on industry and scientists were encouraged to speak with the public. Fred was one of the founders of the Agassiz Arts Council. In his early years in Agassiz, he was part of the Agassiz Players writing and performing plays for the community such as Four Brands of Corn. Fred and Beth built a wonderful home on Hopyard Mountain with views across the Fraser, down and across the valley. Together they landscaped and created an incredible garden with rock walls and terraces. Fred set up a pottery studio and spent many years creating with clay. Then his sons built him a woodwork shop where he spent many of his retirement days reframing Beth’s pictures and building little projects out of hardwood from the property. Well into his early 90’s, Fred would be up the mountain chopping and splitting wood to heat the house. Fred is survived by his sister Verene, his sons Fred (Yovita) and Keith (Kim), six grandchildren, and eleven great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his son Robert, his wife Beth and his mother, father and brother. A service in celebration of Fred and Beth’s lives will be held in their garden in May. Date TBA.
