Delta Mayor Lois Jackson is joining Surrey’s call for a regional tolling system instead of only on select bridge crossings.

Jackson issued a release Tuesday indicating her municipality is concerned about growing gridlock on the toll-free Alex Fraser Bridge, as commuters avoid the user-pay

options south of the Fraser River.

Currently the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges are tolled, and last week TransLink announced the replacement for the Pattullo Bridge will be tolled to cover construction costs. It is widely expected the new Massey Bridge will also be tolled.

“If (the crossings) were all the same (price), everyone would take the shortest route between their house

and wherever they were going,” Jackson told The Leader.

Cars that make unregistered trips across the Port Mann pay $3.15 each way and $4.35 on the Golden Ears.

Jackson is recommending a regional alternative, where all bridges in Metro Vancouver would cost motorists $1 to use. continued on page 4

Surrey force for finance dead at age 79 ▼ CITY’S FORMER LONGTIME CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER DENNIS ATKINSON PASSED AWAY ON MARCH 5 KEVIN DIAKIW

A much-respected former longtime finance manager with the City of Surrey has died.

Dennis Atkinson served with the municipality for 32 years, first as an accountant, then eventually as the chief financial officer in charge of Surrey’s books.

He retired in 1996.

Those at city hall who knew him well describe Atkinson as a unwavering force for finance. If he didn’t agree with a financial approach by councillors, he wasn’t afraid to stand up and make that known.

“If he thought council was heading off in the wrong direction, he would tell them in the most professional terms,” said former Surrey Mayor Bob Bose, who worked with Atkinson for years.

“Surrey was in an excellent financial position as a result of his tough approach to finances,” Bose said.

Atkinson worked with city manager Dan Closkey and together they were an unstoppable force, Bose said.

Former longtime Coun. Judy Higginbotham worked with Atkinson for 13 years, and said he was an amazing man and an incredible financial officer.

“He lived and breathed his job, and he was very responsible,” Higginbotham said.

He arrived in a time of fiscal turmoil, she Dennis Atkinson said, adding he was able to right the budgetary ship.

“We built the Newton Wave Pool, which was a big deal in those days,” Higginbotham said.

In fact, the books were so good when he left, the following city council was able to embark on a decade-long freeze on property taxes.

Atkinson is described by family members as a kind, generous, social person who enjoyed watching his grandchildren at various sporting events.

“He was fully involved in the lives of his grandchildren, driving them to school, picking them up,” Bose said. “His family was absolutely everything to him.”

Atkinson died peacefully on March 5 at Surrey Memorial Hospital. He was 79.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Verna, four children (Lyle, Eric, Susan and Melanie), nine grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, seven brothers, two sisters and a large extended family.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, April 2 at 2 p.m. at the King’s Community Centre, 21783 76B Ave. in Langley.

B.C. prison violence is rising, statistics show ▼ BIGGEST ONE-YEAR INCREASE FOUND AT SURREY PRETRIAL SERVICES CENTRE, WHERE NUMBER OF INCIDENTS HAS TRIPLED JEFF NAGEL

Safety and security incidents have soared at most B.C.’s prisons over the last few years, according to newly released statistics for 2014 from B.C. Corrections.

The biggest one-year increase was at Surrey Pretrial Services Centre, where the number of incidents tripled to more than 900 in 2014.

The long-term trend has been steadily rising at several other jails.

Safety incidents have nearly doubled by 2014 from five years earlier in Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre, North ▶ “When prisons Fraser Pretrial and Kamloops are under-staffed Regional Correctional Centre.

And Alouette Correctional by guards that Centre for Women recorded means things more than three times as many incidents – nearly 700 by 2014 are less safe for compared to less than 200 in both staff and 2009.

Fraser Regional Correctional prisoners.”

Centre in Maple Ridge had nearly SOURCE NAME 1,100 incidents in 2014 and recorded the largest numbers of

any sites in B.C. in each of the six years.

NDP MLA David Eby said the statistics he requested are about a year overdue and undercut government claims prison violence was declining.

“I’m incredibly concerned that we were told that violence was trending down when their own numbers show it’s trending up and dramatically up,” he said.

Eby said a staff shortage in B.C. prisons is a probable factor.

“When prisons are under-staffed by guards that means things are less safe for both staff and prisoners,” Eby said.

“You don’t have anybody screaming about rival gang members being put in the same place at the same time. You don’t have anybody just physically present to encourage everybody to be on their best behaviour.”

He also cited the overcrowding of prisons from the practice of double-bunking.

“When you have two or three people in a cell as opposed to a single person in a cell that leads to an increase in violence as well.”

B.C. government officials say the statistics include not just violence but other safety and security incidents, including inmate illness, threats and contraband.

“B.C. Corrections is housing more inmates with gang affiliations and mental health issues,” Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said. “The potential for violence is an unfortunate reality.”

Once the new Okanagan Correctional Centre is completed later this year near Oliver, he said, the B.C. Corrections will have added nearly 800 cells since 2008.

Morris said 440 more corrections staff have been added since 2007 and more than 240 new full-time correctional officers will be added for the Okanagan jail.

There were four deaths in B.C. correctional facilities in 2015 – three at Kamloops and one in Surrey – and a total of 26 deaths since 2009.

nother week, another data set about millennial car-buying trends, this time refuting the predictions and analysis that have confounded car companies and their marketing gurus these past few years.

It turns out millennials have not forsaken the car altogether for multi-modal urban transit, for bicycles, for lifts with friends, for … whatever. It also turns out, according to J.D. Power’s Power Information Network—defining millennials as those between 21 and 38 in 2015, millennials bought four million cars and trucks in the US in 2015, thereby inflating their share of the car market to 28 percent, second only to the ‘baby boomers’.

And… it turns out that in California, the largest car-buying market in the US, they have actually out-bought boomers for the first time.

Why this ‘sudden’, seemingly unexpected trend reversal? Industry analysts say trying to get a read on this big and diverse generation has been difficult. Whether or not millennial ‘lifestyle preferences’ would emulate the boomer generation, whether or not they fully embraced the new urban transportation options, …turns out these questions were difficult to answer.

Some analysts, like Steven Szakaly, Chief Economist for the National Automobile Dealers Association, say it was just a matter of timing: “This whole idea that they’re not going to need cars is absolutely ridiculous. The new car buyer age is just happening much later.” While the number of young people getting their driver’s licenses has been steadily

trending downwards since 1983, graduated licensing laws and insurance costs were extending the difficulty and expense of this starting point.

Importantly, the economy in general has been challenging. The 2008 recession hit just as millennials were in or graduating from post secondary education, and starting or at least looking to start their first job. By 2010, their 13 percent unemployment rate was four points higher than the US national average, according to a report by the White House Council of Economic Advisers.

Teens had it even worse at 26 percent unemployment by 2012. Now the millennial unemployment rate is down to eight percent, interest rates have stayed low, and gas prices are down. The five year economic forecasts match millennial spending power with that of boomers. Millennials are getting jobs and staying employed, and getting married and starting families, and even moving to the suburbs just like previous generations. It appears that the convenience offered by car ownership is still irresistible.

Nevertheless, some analysts, however, are sticking to the earlier analysis about a continuing decline in popular interest in motor vehicle ownership. They say: getting a driver’s license is not the milestone it used to be, car-sharing and Uber-hailing are increasingly popular options, and the sense of freedom and independence previously found in car ownership now comes from wireless connectivity.

The word wireless turns the discussion to the features that millennials want in their cars and, hence, that the car companies want to provide —improved in-car technology to enable young drivers to stay connected to their friends and music while driving, features that take attention away from the task at hand – driving safely. …by Cedric Hughes, Barrister & Solicitor with regular weekly contributions from Leslie McGuffin, LL.B

“With profound sadness, we all try to cope with the fact that at the age of 24 years old, there

was a man that was taken away from his family, friends, and coworkers.

His name was Sebastian Gomez,” a friend wrote on the site.

“He will forever be in the hearts of many; but his wife, son, daughter, mother and father, and other family members’ lives will be forever changed. They need our support; but not just today, this week or this month. They need it for their future. For those of you who personally know this wonderful man / family, we need to remember not just now, but months and years from now that this family needs constant support,” the page says.

The fundraising site notes that Gomez’s parents had just left their jobs in Alberta two weeks ago to move to B.C. to be closer to their son and his family.

They also brought along Obando’s youngest brother, who is just 16. Obando’s parents have not found employment since their move.

As of Wednesday morning, more than $15,000 had been raised. To donate online, visit https:// www.gofundme.com/ sebastiangomez77 To help in person, visit any Coast Capital location and donate to the Mariana Valencia Trust Account.

Jackson said the new funding model would free up the overcrowded Alex Fraser while generating close to $300 million in gross revenue every year.

The City of Surrey has already taken a position in favour of regional tolling for the same reasons Jackson has raised.

But the province says it won’t consider such a strategy for another five to six years.

While open to discussion, Transportation Minister Todd Stone said he’ll wait until the George Massey Tunnel and Pattullo replacements are closer to being completed.

While Jackson understands the province’s position, she would rather the move be done sooner rather than later.

“We (municipalities) can turn on a dime, you know that,” Jackson said. “Provincial and federal governments, they can’t do that.”

Figures from 2011 (the most recent available) show the Alex Fraser has the second-heaviest traffic volumes in the region. Only the Iron Workers’ Memorial connecting the North Shore has more.

Jackson said traffic has only increased on the Alex Fraser, Delta’s only crossing of the river, in the last five years.

“I know there’s a lot more traffic than there was in 2011,” Jackson said.

She described her tolling concept as an “easy, understandable and simple” solution, while acknowledging there

may be grumbling from cities north of the Fraser River that don’t face tolls on their bridges.

“Guess what? They are going to need their bridges fixed too,” Jackson said. “And we, south of the Fraser, are paying for the upgrade of those two sewer plants over there. We’re not going to see any benefit from that.”

The Iona (Richmond) and Lions Gate (North Vancouver) wastewater treatment plants Jackson is referring to are expensive projects, still in the planning stages, whose costs will be shared by taxpayers throughout the region.

Revenues from the tolled bridges in operation now show the current user-pay plan is not working, Jackson said.

The Golden Ears Bridge is operating $20 million a year under budget, while the new Port Mann Bridge is $80 million a year

Pathways to the past Heritage rarely gets much consideration from Surrey council or city staff, so it was a pleasant surprise to find out how much effort has been recently put into actively pursuing names for roads, districts and geographic features.

Much of this work came to fruition with significant changes to Surrey’s original road numbering bylaw number 1,500, which was adopted in 1957. That bylaw eliminated most of the names of Surrey streets, replacing them with numbers. The changes to the original bylaw were adopted by council last summer.

The changes recognize that the original bylaw called for named streets – those that are not east-west or north-south in direction. While this has been done in many parts of Surrey since that time, the streets that have been named have usually reflected the desires of developers, not necessarily the city at large. Thus developments like Birdland (in Guildford) and Cowtown (in Cloverdale) came about, using names of birds and cattle respectively.

The changes call for a more active role by the city in the naming of future roads. New road names will “recognize a natural feature, flora or fauna, a major public institution or oth-

er defining land use of significance to Surrey, or a historical figure, group, place, or event of significance to Surrey.”

There are also guidelines to ensure road names contribute positively to the community and cannot be construed as advertising a business.

The city is recognizing that, while numbered streets must predominate in order for people to be able to find their way around, street names can play an important role in the life of the city.

The changes to the bylaw also pay considerable attention to secondary road naming. This practice began in 1979 when council agreed to a suggestion from the public that heritage road markers be placed along many of Surrey’s main streets, to commemorate the names they had long had.

Thus 128 Street also had signs placed along the roadside, noting that it was once known as Sandell Road. Hjorth Road signs were placed along 104 Avenue, and Bose Road signs went up along 64 Avenue, while North Bluff road signs were erected along 16 Avenue.

Several historic hills, such as Woodward’s Hill and Hartnell Hill, have also received signs.

In 2006, the secondary road naming policy was expanded, with a stretch of 106 Avenue adjacent to the Whalley Legion becoming Veterans Way. Since that time, 62 Avenue from 176 Street to the Stetson Bowl in Cloverdale has been named Bill Reid Way, to commemorate former MLA Bill Reid who was unofficially “Mr. Cloverdale” for many years, and an unceasing promoter of the town and Surrey at large.

Surrey also officially named its first historic district last year, with the Whalley’s Corner district being recognized as the area immediately surrounding King George Boulevard, Grosvenor Road and 108 Avenue (formerly Ferguson Road). This is where the original Whalley’s Corner gas station was located, and is also the area where the Whalley commercial area had its beginnings in the 1940s.

It is good to see a consistent approach to street naming which also recognizes the historic richness of road names.

All of these changes are important steps in Surrey maturing as a city.

I want to ask the mayor and council of Delta what the municipality is doing to plan for increased traffic on

Highway 91, and therefore in North Delta, specifically on streets that are not meant to handle highway traffic such as Lyon Road and Huff Road in Sunshine Hills.

We are fed up with the current highway-like conditions on Lyon Road due to commuter traffic using it as an alternate route to get to Highway 91 and Highway 99.

highway on weekdays. We are worried about the impact of construction and tolling on Highway 99 and the new Pattullo on our neighbourhood. Is there anything being planned, or will Delta wait and let the traffic problem get out of control, such as what happened with Annacis Island?

Re: “Driven to help cancer patients,” The Leader, March 2.

God bless those who volunteer to be a cancer driver.

In 2011 I was grateful the program existed. I had to be taken from Surrey to Vancouver General Hospital and the cancer clinic every day for three months. I then went through hyperbaric treatments for another two months. My wife doesn’t drive, so I was really stuck.

The treatments were tiring and how great it was to have the driver waiting there to take me home. They were always friendly.

This is a very necessary service and if I had to have paid a small fee I would not have minded.

I donated to the former cancer driver program and I am happy to see the program has been reinstated. Thank you to all you volunteer drivers.

Trial set for accused Surrey trafficker ▶ TWO HOMES RAIDED IN DRUG BUST IN 2013 BLACK PRESS

The trial of a Surrey man arrested in September 2013 and charged with 13 drug and firearms offences is set to be heard over eight days in the spring of 2017.

According to court records, the proceedings against Pete William Cameron are to take place April 3-6 and 1014 next year in Surrey Provincial Court.

Charges against Cameron and a Surrey woman were announced in June 2014 by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit.

At that time, officials detailed an investigation into an alleged drug trafficking and gun sale operation that resulted in the arrest of three people on Sept.

11, 2013.

According to a news release, upon arrest, officers seized individually wrapped crack cocaine and “spit balls” of powder cocaine and heroin, as well as $630 in cash. Subsequent searches of two South Surrey residences – on Croydon Drive and in the 17000 block of 26 Avenue – yielded two large safes containing four semi-automatic handguns; cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine; and $25,000 cash.

Cameron, who was 28 at the time of the arrest, is charged with

seven counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking, four counts of possession of a restricted firearm with ammunition, one count of altering/defacing firearm serial number and one count of possession of firearm, etc. contrary

to order.

Surrey resident Amy Teresa Pierre – 23 at the time of arrest – is next due in court on March 31 in connection with the file.

A second woman arrested at the same time was not charged.

With a long history of fundraising, City of Surrey employees have been honoured for their efforts in giving to the United Way. Last week, The United Way of the Lower Mainland gave the Spirit Award to the City of Surrey, CUPE 402, and the International Association of Firefighters, Local 1271.

City staff won in the Innovation Award category, which recognizes the workplace campaign team that created the most innovative fundraising strategies and maintained or increased dollars given directly to United Way. Employees of the City of Surrey contributed more than $233,000 to the United Way Campaign in 2015.

“I am proud that City of Surrey employees have been recognized for their long-standing dedication and generosity,” said Mayor Linda Hepner.

“When it comes to creating a culture of caring in Surrey, the city and its employees lead by example as the money raised by our

United Way Campaign makes a big difference in supporting local charitable organizations and community groups.”

Last year, the United Way of the Lower Mainland invested $1.2 million in the “Avenues of Change” initiative in Surrey’s Guildford West community.

▶ “When it comes to creating a culture of caring in Surrey, the city and its employees lead by example.”

LINDA HEPNER

The funds will be used to implement neighbourhood-specific strategies to change outcomes for vulnerable kids, including providing mental wellness support, early childhood literacy support, health promotion, and a screening program that helps track children’s developmental progress.

Full Frame Sales Event LAST CHANCE TO BUY A NIKON PRODUCT

From March 4 to 31, 2016

The Advantages of a Full Frame Sensor WHAT?

BEFORE NIKON PRICE INCREASE ON APRIL 1, 2016

In digital SLR cameras, the camera’s format refers to the size of its image sensor.

Nikon makes a DX-format sensor and a FX format sensor. The DX-format is the smaller cropped sensor at 24 x 16mm; other manufacturers commonly refer to this as an APS-C sensor. The larger FX format sensor measures 36 x 24mm which is approximately the same size as 35mm film.

D750 / 24-120mm VR • 24.3 MP sensor • Cutting edge HD video capabilities • Built-in Wi-Fi® sharing and remote control

WHY? The FX full frame sensor allows for more “light gathering” area which offers higher sensitivity resulting in lower noise within the captured images. The dynamic range is also greater with a full frame sensor compared to a cropped sensor.

The Evolution of High Resolution

One look at the jawdropping image quality possible with the D810 and you’ll never look at image quality the same way. The level of detail and sharpness, the wide dynamic range and rich tonality in nearly any light is simply staggering – almost unimaginable until now. For still and multimedia photographers including landscape, studio, wedding and portrait pros, the D810 will ignite your creativity and help you capture images that astound.

The D810 truly raises the bar for image quality and dynamic range.

Muslim dialogue on mental health ▶ MARCH 19 SYMPOSIUM TO ALSO TACKLE ADDICTION ISSUES BLACK PRESS

Surrey’s Muslim community is hoping to create an open dialogue around mental illness and addiction issues with an upcoming symposium at SFU. The Hope Project’s (Healing Opportunities through Prevention and Education) Bridging the Gap: Hope, Health and Healing, will include four sessions: Family Disputes, Mental Health, Com-

munity Building and Youth Issues.

Community leaders, mental health professionals and members of various police forces from throughout the Lower Mainland will be on hand to speak about the stigma surrounding mental health and the support programs available.

“This will be a convergence of many stakeholders from many agencies,” said Hope Project coordinator Muhammad Asadullah. “It’s about creating a safe place where we can talk and not keep things under the carpet.”

It is often difficult for Muslim families to talk about these issues, said Asa-

dullah, noting it’s often about family honour.

“But we are trying to tell our community that these services are available.”

Asadullah believes the event will help create awareness and create culturally sensitive health training for all service providers from an Islamic perspective.

The event, led by the Muslim Food Bank and Community Services Society, will take place on March 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the SFU Surrey campus at 13450 102 Ave. For more information, go to http:// www.muslimfoodbank.com/hope2016

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

- Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of BC

Now more than ever, this project makes sense for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we receive the most from our natural resources at a time when our economy needs it most.

The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow Canadian oil to be delivered to international markets and, as a result, Canada will earn approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil.

By realizing full value, everyone will benefit.

In addition, the expansion will create tens of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.

his father already has the idea of what’s coming.

“I had a good time,” says Gurveer, 20, a member of the Surrey Football Club (SFC) Adapted Soccer program.

Gurveer has two younger siblings who play U12 and U13 soccer, but Gurveer has autism and ADHD, and has had trouble fitting into recreational sports.

All that changed with Adapted Soccer, which is designed for children with developmental disabilities – complete

For an hour each week, they do warmups, drills and pickup soccer games at Newton Athletic Park’s Turf 2.

“You can tell with his smile he is having a good time,” says his father. “When he is not having a good time, you can tell.”

The program is the brainchild of Rob Bura, who was

looking to support his 14-year-old son Jovan, who tried his best on the club’s weakest soccer teams.

But he still wasn’t good enough. continued on page 19

“He’d be sitting on the sidelines because he just wasn’t fitting in,” Bura says.

Bura got together with fellow SFC executive Bobby Samra to see what they could come up with.

“There are a lot of kids that need this program,” says Bura,

adding that Jovan now considers Newton Athletic Park as his own community.

Jovan not only plays soccer, he volunteers for the club, looking at game schedules and setting up nets and corner flags.

“I feel proud of that because he belongs to a community now.

He’s part of the bigger picture,” says Bura.

During the week, Jovan is proud to wear the Pegasus T-shirt at his school, Enver Creek Secondary, because that’s his club, says his dad.

Currently, about 15 kids, mostly teenagers, turn out each Monday evening to practise the game.

“We say (ages) nine to 15, but that’s not reality,” Samra says. “We haven’t turned anybody away.”

(ages) nine to 15, but that’s not reality. We haven’t turned anybody away.”

BOBBY SAMRA

The group’s plan is to eventually have enough players to build seven-player teams which can then go up against each other on the field.

The coaches are ready, says Samra.

“We’ve budgeted for uniforms and field times and referees.

We’ve got everything ready to go, we just don’t have (enough) kids.”

The club has BC Soccer’s permission to organize games by skill level rather than age.

“We want those kids to come out and play soccer,” says Samra.

The first and second eight-week sessions ran last year, and the third one ended March 7.

Running roughly parallel with the school calendar, the next session will begin after spring break.

The SFC’s Adapted Soccer program runs on Mondays from 5-6 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park.

The cost is $40. For more information or to register or volunteer, call the SFC at 604-356-2414.

Hawks host Cougars for BC championship ▶ VALLEY WEST ELIMINATES OKANAGAN IN SEMIFINAL SERIES RICK KUPCHUK

The Valley West Hawks will play for a B.C. championship this weekend.

The Hawks will face-off against the

Cariboo Cougars in a best-of-three series that begins tonight, after eliminating the Okanagan Rockets in three games last weekend in Surrey.

Valley West finished atop the BC Hockey Major Midget League in the regular season, and went 2-1-1 (winlost-tied) against the Cougars.

“We know what

we’re up against playing the Cougars.

It’s going to be a tremendous series,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung.

“The team that plays with more desire and desperation is the team that will leave this weekend with the championship title.”

Valley West defeated Okanagan 6-2 in the first game of their

semifinal series last Friday (March 11) in the Surrey Sports and Leisure Centre.

The Rockets tied the series with a 2-1 win Saturday evening, but were eliminated by the Hawks 6-4 Sunday afternoon.

Five powerplay goals powered the Hawks to the win in the first game, which saw the Rockets score first and lead 1-0 after one period. Valley West responded with six unanswered goals over the next 30 minutes.

“We built our team to be able to win different types of games,” said Leung.

“The Rockets weren’t able to cope with the physical game and started taking undisciplined penalties.

And our powerplay was great.”

James Malm with two goals and a pair of assists and Christian Bosa with a pair of goals and one helper paced the Hawks. Ben Evanish with a goal and two assists, and Carson Franklin with one goal completed the scoring.

Valley West fell behind 2-0 late in the second period and were unable to come from behind in the second game.

The Hawks won 6-4. BOAZ JOSEPH “We had a chance to finish a team off and advance but I don’t think our players were ready for the desperation of the Rockets,” said Leung. “It was a night where we didn’t get the bounces to change the momentum for us. We hit two cross bars in the first period and had a bunch of grade-A opportunities that we couldn’t convert.”

Bobby Russell scored

the lone Hawks goal.

Valley West scored three times in the first six minutes of Sunday’s game, and although the Rockets twice pulled to within a goal, the Hawks maintained their lead the rest of the way.

“Our boys came to play,” said Leung, admitting the “early success let some casualness slip back in.

They were a team that never quit and kept

chasing us to the end.”

Malm, Bosa, Evanish, Bradley Stonnell, Justyn Gurney and Luka Burzan were the goal scorers.

The B.C. final begins tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre, and continues tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. in the South Surrey Arena.

Game three, if necessary, is back in Langley at noon Sunday.

DAVIS

Rickey Terrance November 16, 1958 - March 1, 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved brother Rickey Terrance Davis on March 01, 2016. He passed into the arms of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and into the loving arms of his parents Terry and Thelma.

Rick was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on November 16, 1958, moving to British Columbia with his family in 1969.

As a youngster, Rick was an exceptional junior tennis player, graduating from the Harry Hopman Tennis Academy in Florida.

Throughout his lifetime, Rick was an innovative and creative entrepreneur. He was a master baker, and for years operated the Crescent Beach Bakery. Rick was the popular owner and operator of No Middle Man Heating & Plumbing in Ocean Park and his most recent venture, the Good Shepherd Heating & Plumbing.

Rick was selfless and giving, often providing his services for free to seniors and the needy. He never hesitated to lend a hand and as a devout Christian, Rick always believed that God would provide.

Appetite For Destruction As Real Estate values continue to soar at unprecedented rates in the Fraser Valley, a new threat looms over us that everyone, Buyer-Seller-Lookey Loo, should be cautious of. That threat comes from immoral, unethical people using business practices used by some shady elements with proven bad track records in the Real Estate industry.

These deceitful and unethical business practices will cause havoc on the Real Estate market if the public is not warned.

stand hoping to see their dreams come to fruition. Many don’t and probably won’t see that ‘foreign’ Buyer and the Listing Realtor® will continue to do this until their inventory is so high that something has to sell, paying no regard to professionalism, marketing and customer service.

but only a qualified, reputable Realtor® can get the job done and serve the best interests of their client.

WHAT ARE YOUR BEST INTERESTS??

You need to be properly represented in the Sale or Purchase of Real Estate. A qualified Realtor® will know how to get you the best price for your home, or will be able to research and negotiate the best interests of the Buyer. You need a professional, ethical Realtor® to represent your best interests. You reserve the right to get a second opinion, so do not fall victim to high pressure tactics.

NOT ALL FOREIGN BUYERS ARE AN ILLUSION There are several legitimate Realtors® who have a strong database of Buyers from all over the world. The diligence is therefore placed upon the Seller to research the history and check the integrity of the person they are dealing with. Too often, people will choose their Agent based on how much they will sell for and how much they have to pay in commission. Both are great queries,

YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION!!

Some Realtors® use tactics which could be conceived as misleading which include promises of long lists of foreign buyers looking to invest. The agent in question will then price a property without any proper evaluation or research and the Seller will

In closing, the market is changing so quickly that you do need to work with the right Realtor® to make the most informed decision possible.
