Surrey council gives the green light to gun event ▼ HANDGUNS AND AMMUNITION PULLED FROM CLOVERDALE SHOW KEVIN DIAKIW & NICK GREENIZAN

It’s going to be guns blazing in Cloverdale this weekend as Surrey council unanimously endorsed a permit Monday for the 2016 B.C. Rod and Gun Show to go ahead.

Early last month, Surrey council rejected the plan for the show, saying it hadn’t received RCMP clearance.

Organizers had applied for a temporary use permit for the sale of firearms and ammunition for two, three-day events at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, 17763 62 Ave. A similar event was held at the fairgrounds last year, attracting 10,000 people and taking place without incident.

But Surrey council expressed concern about the sale of handguns and ammunition at this year’s show. Those elements have been pulled.

“It is a big load off our minds now,” organizer Steve Bednash said. “We’re just glad (the permit) was approved and we thank (council) for it.”

Coun. Dave The show, which runs April Woods 15-17, will include hunting, fishing, archery and other outdoors-related vendors and activities, Bednash said.

As well, MasterChef Canada competitor Tammy Woods will also be at the event, cooking up wild game, he added.

Despite the last-minute approval, Bednash was unsure if it meant the planning of any future events would go more smoothly.

“Well, we were told last year that we’d have no problems this year,” he laughed. “But we’re just happy to have it (approved). It’s going to be a great show.”

Coun. Dave Woods, who initially raised concerns about RCMP approvals, said it was incumbent upon him and the rest of council to exercise due diligence in allowing the show to go on.

Jaswinder Toor (right) and his brother Raj are descendants of a Komagata Maru passenger.

The Surrey siblings are welcoming a formal apology for the incident from the federal government to be delivered in the House of Commons next month.

Formal apology coming for Komagata Maru kin ▼ PRIME MINISTER JUSTIN TRUDEAU TO APOLOGIZE FOR 1914 INCIDENT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS NEXT MONTH BOAZ JOSEPH

On Monday morning, Jaswinder Toor received the call he’d been waiting for since last fall: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will offer a “full apology” for the Komagata Maru incident in the House of Commons.

During the federal election, Toor and his brother Raj, both spokespersons for the Descendants of Komagata Maru Society, met with Trudeau when he campaigned in Surrey and Vancouver.

“I asked if an apology would be made,” said Toor.

It would, Trudeau replied.

The apology will take place May 18 in a more formal setting than Bear Creek Park, where former prime minister Stephen Harper offered a similar apology in 2008.

“We are very proud that the prime minister has kept his promise,” said Toor, 55, who came to Canada more than 40 years ago.

The incident is a dark chapter in Canadian history.

In 1914, the ship Komagata Maru, carrying 376 Indian immigrants – mostly Sikh and all British subjects – was turned away from Vancouver and sent back to India.

Local officials cited the Continuous Passage Regulation, which stated that all immigrants must come directly from their country of origin.

Due to the great distance between India and Canada, this was impossible, as ships required a stopover. The Komagata Maru had stopped in Hong Kong.

The voyage home meant the exiled passengers had been confined to the ship for six months. As they became increasingly agitated, they were hit by British gunfire when they returned to India. Twenty were killed, and scores were wounded.

Toor’s grandfather, Puran Singh Janetpura, was 30 years old at the time and one of the passengers on the ship. He survived.

Nearly 50 years later, although he was offered a chance by his family to join them in Canada from his native Punjab, he refused to come. He was still bitter about the incident.

“They were not illegal immigrants,” Toor said.

Toor said in the last few months, several emails were exchanged with the Office of the Prime Minster about the details of the apology.

“Everything is covered… there is no stone left unturned,” he said, adding he was asked to keep the news to himself that the apology would in fact soon take place. Ottawa needed a few more months to hammer out the details.

New publisher appointed BLACK PRESS

Dwayne Weidendorf has been named

by Black Press as the new publisher of The Surrey-North Delta Leader and The Cloverdale Reporter.

“Dwayne has achieved considerable success as a publisher with Black Press Group Ltd. and he will be instrumental in guiding the evolution of community news media in the Surrey market area,” said Randy Blair, president of Black Press, B.C. Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island Divisions.

Weidendorf also serves as publisher of the Surrey Now and Peace Arch News, and will retain his responsibilities as general manager of the Vantage Way Press Centre. He also oversees publication of the Yukon News.

Surrey’s new aquatic centre lauded The City of Surrey’s newest aquatic centre has received a prestigious design award.

Dwayne Weidendorf has been named as the publisher of The Surrey-North Delta Leader.

The Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Engineering Excellence was presented to Fast + Epp Structural Engineers, the city and HCMA Architecture + Design for the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre by the Association of Consulting Engineering Companies B.C. at the 2016 Awards for Engineering Excellence gala, held April 9 at the Fairmont Hotel

Vancouver.

The Lieutenant Governor’s Award recognizes a project “that excels in all areas of the rated criteria,” according to information on the ACEC-BC’s website.

The $55-million Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre – with a 10-lane, 50-metre pool, universal change rooms and a 9,000-sq.-ft. fitness area – opened to the

public last month at 16855 24 Ave. According to Scott Groves, manager of the city’s civic facilities division, it has been swimmingly popular.

“We are so proud of the great success of the pool with the numbers of users exceeding any of our previous aquatic centres, the great fun that you can see happening in the facility, and especially the kids from outside Surrey insisting that their parents bring them to Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre instead of their own neighbourhood pool,” Groves said.

“Now the project is a major award winner, too.”

Groves noted the Lieutenant Governor’s award typically goes to multi-billion dollar projects, and that the aquatic centre was highlighted alongside projects in Bangladesh and New York City.

Fast + Epp also won the Award of Excellence in the Building category at Saturday’s gala, he said.

Now that Lougheed, Burnaby, and Port Moody have been extensively developed and housing prices seem beyond reach to many, there is still one great place to live: Burquitlam. Located just on the border of Burnaby and Coquitlam, Burquitlam is the last community to be developed with its own SkyTrain Station.

And at the heart of it all, just a three–minute walk from the new Burquitlam Station, is The Burquitlam Capital: that last great place to call home, where everything you’ve been searching for is finally within reach.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Are police and city officials doing enough to stop the ongoing gun violence in Surrey?

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

Last week we asked: Would you report a family member or friend to police if you knew they were involved in illegal activity?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 71% No 29%

Taking aim at Surrey shootings Surrey’s drive-by shooting epidemic is getting attention at the highest level in Victoria.

When Surrey-Green Timbers NDP MLA Sue Hammell asked a question of Solicitor General Mike Morris in the provincial legislature last Wednesday, she and others were surprised when Premier Christy Clark stood up to answer. Clark often doesn’t answer questions directed at her, and she is not always there for question period in the legislature. Her appearance on April 6 was the first after spring break.

Clark’s response indicated the shootings (there have been more than 30 so far this year) were extremely troubling to the government. There are significant political consequences if this trend continues.

One year from now, provincial politicians will be in the midst of an election campaign. The eight Surrey seats are a key battleground, with five now held by the B.C. Liberals and three by the NDP. The capture of Surrey-Fleetwood by Liberal candidate Peter Fassbender in the 2013 election was a key win and a prime example of how Clark managed to bring the B.C. Liberals back to win an election that the pollsters and observers said she would lose.

Clark told Hammell in the legislature the government would “do more” to combat the tide of shootings. She wants people in

Surrey to feel safe. Last Friday, Morris was in Surrey to outline some immediate measures to deal with the problem.

At present, the province and the RCMP aren’t planning to spend additional money to investigate the shooting spree.

Rather, a number of specialized RCMP task forces and units are putting more personnel and energy into policing in Surrey.

These include the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, an End Gang Life campaign, canine units, major crime investigators and air support.

The city, meanwhile, is now going to give the RCMP 24-hour access to its 330 traffic cameras, and is planning to add 75 more.

Why the police have not had this immediate access before is a concern, considering this latest shooting spree is merely a continuance of one that took place over much of 2015.

Apparently, police have had access to the information from these cameras before, but it was based on when city hall staff were on duty. Now the images will go directly to the RCMP detachment. Given that most of these shootings involve people in cars with guns, and take place in the evening or overnight, real-time access to the cameras will be important for police.

Overall, the response is a

pretty good start. It is obvious the province, the city and the RCMP want to reduce, if not eliminate, the indiscriminate shootings – particularly if they lead to killings or serious injury, particularly of innocent people.

Since the press conference on Friday, police have been more visible in many parts of Surrey.

Hopefully, this will continue indefinitely. Taxpayers are paying a significant amount for the 100 additional RCMP officers the city has hired, and police visibility an important deterrent to many types of crime.

Additional funds are going to WRAP, a partnership involving Surrey School District, RCMP and the city. It has won acclaim for its efforts to keep at-risk youth out of the gang and criminal lifestyle, and expansion of this program may be one of the best uses of funds.

Surrey RCMP want to get to the bottom of the shootings. Police are as frustrated as members of the public are. Dealing with this issue won’t be simple and will require a great deal of effort on the part of all involved.

That includes members of the public, who need to let police know what they see in their neighbourhoods, even if it seems somewhat insignificant.

My dad has ‘a guy’ for everything GUEST VOICE ▼

Nick Greenizan

Need someone to fix a gutter? He’s got a guy. Need new brakes on your truck but don’t want to spend a fortune? He knows someone. Have an irrigation problem in your backyard? Don’t worry, he’ll make a call. It’ll be fixed by Monday.

Need to make somebody go away, Mafia-style? OK, maybe he doesn’t know that guy. Still, his connections come in handy, especially for someone like me, who doesn’t have any “guys” aside from a few plumber and electrician friends who work for free (or for a case of beer).

My dad’s mental Rolodex of “guys” comes largely as a result of his nearly four decades working with contractors of various stripes, as well as his uncanny ability to strike up a conversation with almost anybody at any time.

It can sometimes make a quick trip to the grocery store last half the afternoon – the phrase “guess who I ran into” has

started more than a few conversations in my parents’ house through the years – but it sure pays off when your hot water tank starts leaking at 9 p.m. on a Sunday.

And though I often bug my dad about knowing so many people, I’ve also come to realize how important it is to know people whose work you can trust, whatever the job.

And as they have countless times, my dad’s connections again came in handy last week, when I needed some quick work done on my truck.

I’d had a trailer-hitch installed, and it turns out there were a few problems with the wiring – something I did not discover until last weekend, when I was three hours from home in the B.C. Interior.

A shop there took a look at the problem and quoted me what I thought was an outrageous price – three-figures minimum, bordering on $1,000.

“It’s the only way to fix it,” they said.

Gulp. They no doubt could sense my predicament – far from home, with no knowledge of the situation at hand – but they were nice enough, and it was a reputable place, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt, pushing away any negative thoughts they were taking advantage.

Still, trusting or not, I’m also cheap – and figured I’d be able to get it fixed for a lot less somewhere else. So I got everything put back together as best as could be done and headed for home.

My dad would know a guy, I figured.

He did, of course, though it wasn’t so much a singular “guy” as it was another shop he was familiar with from some encounter years before. My dad even offered to drop my truck off for me the next day. Talk about service.

A few hours later, my cellphone vibrated on my desk with a text message from my dad.

“You aren’t going to believe how much this is going to cost,” the message read.

Double-gulp.

“Forty-nine dollars.”

My truck was fixed on the spot, and I picked it up after work that same day.

I resisted the urge to call the first shop that quoted me an arm and a leg, instead choosing to take the high road.

But I did wonder just how many of their customers have had to pay exorbitant prices through the years, all because they didn’t know the right guys.

Turns out, you don’t need even need a whole bunch – you just need one.

Surrey shows it’s a caring community ▶ ORGANIZATIONS AND INDIVIDUALS HELP OTHERS THROUGH HARDSHIP As I come across the words “food bank,” what immediately springs to mind is “food waste.”

Large quantities of food are often wasted during special events, parties, wedding celebrations and other private functions.

Imagine if we could save food from going into the garbage and how many people could be fed. We need to change our attitudes towards food waste and contribute to the needy.

We all need to make sure that in our neighbourhoods, not a single person goes to bed hungry.

Food, clothing and shelter are basic human rights. Therefore it is our prime duty to show generosity towards the less-fortune and help them get what they need. Any kind of human aid is a great act.

The Muslim Food Bank is undertaking an important task to serve underprivileged families of Surrey. By supplying basic services, volunteers are spreading the message of compassion.

A most admirable part of the program is the Muslim Food Bank’s aim to expand the service to newcomers families who need to learn life skills and English so they can adapt to Canadian life.

I feel a sense of pride when the people of Surrey are involved with charity affairs to help others and lessen their burdens. It is a good example of being a gracious human being.

In a recent article that appeared in The Leader, it was noted City of Surrey employees raised $233,000 through its annual United Way

▼ GOVERNMENTS ARE OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE DAY-TO-DAY STRUGGLES OF EVERYDAY PEOPLE The premier of British Columbia and her entire cabinet should pledge to and try to live on the current minimum wage and donate the difference from their salaries to charity before they approve BC Hydro’s request to raise their rates.

Where would a family living on the current minimum wages, or single mothers on social assistance, find the extra $5 per month to pay BC Hydro’s proposed new rates while at the same time BC Hydro shamelessly pays its executives and staff exorbitant salaries and bonuses?

The problem with our municipal, provincial and federal governments is that they are living in an ivory tower insulated from the real day-to-day issues the

common low-wage earners are facing on the streets of our great nation.

Bob Baro

Campaign. This is a huge amount collected by city staff.

While praising city employees, Surrey’s Mayor Linda Hepner said, “When it comes to creating a culture of caring in Surrey, the city and its employees lead by example.”

Indeed it is commendable that the funds will be spent on programs for youth to help build a better tomorrow.

All of this is a good reminder that we are a caring and just society.

▼ MEDICAL MERITS OF POT GO BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS Columnist Tom Fletcher missed the bull’s eye regarding cannabis (marijuana), implying it’s an “inconsistent” herbal remedy that hasn’t been studied much because it’s been illegal (“Bowing to the power of judges,” The Leader, March 2).

Government-subsidized prohibitionists in North America have hindered research progress, however, the plant has been documented medically for more than 5,000 years medically without a single death. That’s safety and consistency on a Biblical scale.

Single parent unemployment grows TOM FLETCHER

The B.C. government’s new training and employment program for single parents on income assistance has grown to 2,500 applicants in its first five months.

Social Development Minister Michelle Stilwell said she is encouraged by the continued growth of applicants, with 60 to 100 people per week applying at WorkBC employment centres.

The majority are women, and most are required to seek employment as a condition of assistance once their children are three years or older.

“One of the good things that I see is that about two-thirds of those clients who have come forward have employment obligations, but one-third are not actually obligated to look for work, and they are looking for work,” Stilwell said.

The program covers

tuition, daycare dental and and transporother health tation costs benefits. for up to a year It replaces of on-the-job the previous training or system, often referred to as education towards in-dethe welfare mand jobs for trap, where single parents single parents Michelle on social would lose their assistance assistance Stilwell or disability payments and payments. benefits if they The benefits went back to can continue for up to school to train for a job.

The largest work category for training is nurse aides and orderlies in health care facilities, where employment counsellors have identified jobs are available.

Other skills in demand are office administration, industrial trades and truck and heavy equipment operation.

▶ COCKER SPANIEL BADLY BITTEN BY ANOTHER DOG KEVIN DIAKIW

A small dog is nursing serious injuries after it was attacked by a much larger canine.

The one-and-a-halfyear-old cocker spaniel was being walked by its owner along 134 Street near 80 Avenue on Friday, April 8 when a newer-model Volkswagen Beetle pulled over.

The driver and passenger appeared to be switching positions when their dog broke loose.

It’s believed to be a grey pit bull and it went straight for “Louie” the cocker spaniel.

Louie’s owner, a 70-year-old man, tried to pull his dog away, but was unsuccessful.

A neighbour saw the attack and came out to intervene.

Louie was bitten about 15 times on his left side and suffered a punctured lung and ruptured diaphragm and is recovering.

The whereabouts of the pit bull or its owner is unknown.

Fare evaders hack Compass tickets using phone app ▶ TRANSLINK RELUCTANT TO PAY TO THWART ‘MINIMAL’ PROBLEM JEFF NAGEL

TransLink admits a few fare evaders are getting through Compass fare gates without paying by using a smart phone app that makes expired Compass paper tickets valid again.

Officials say it has so far happened only about 25 times since December.

“We can see it as soon as it happens,” spokesman Chris Bryan said of the tech-savvy ticket tampering.

“Right now we’re just monitoring the frequency of it. It’s

been very low. We are continuing to monitor it closely. If we do see that increase. we’ll have to act on it.”

He stressed it affects only the Compass paper tickets that that are dispensed as temporary fares at station vending machines – no vulnerabilities have been detected so far involving the Compass cards themselves.

A paper ticket manipulated by smartphone can be instantly detected by TransLink and it can be cancelled so it won’t work the next time the fraudster tries to tap it at a gate. Even if it’s not cancelled the ticket wouldn’t work for more than a day.

If Transit Police intercept perpetrators they could face a $173 fare evasion fine and potential criminal

fraud charges.

“It is fraud, it is an offence to do what some people have done,” Bryan said, but added the overwhelming majority of passengers pay the correct fare.

Officers are equipped with mobile scanners to verify tickets in farepaid zones.

So far, some manipulated tickets have been cancelled but there have been no arrests.

Bryan said it would be an offence to either tamper with a Compass ticket or to use one to avoid paying fares.

The vulnerability with transit payment systems provided by Cubic Transportation Systems was first exposed in 2012, and similar hacks have been documented in U.S. cities where smartphones have

been used to rewrite data on the chips embedded in tickets.

Bryan confirmed TransLink knew such hacks were likely to happen here too.

He said a technology solution is available to TransLink that could be considered if the problem becomes too large.

“There is a solution, it’s just a matter of measuring the costs versus the benefits,” Bryan said. “Obviously there is an ability to manipulate this. For us it comes down to a cost-benefit analysis of what kind of impact it is having. Right now, it’s very minimal in terms of cost.”

No estimate has been provided on the cost of upgrading the system to thwart the smartphone hack.

Opponents of a truck-park facility proposed for the Surrey-Langley border are holding a meeting this weekend to update the community on the progress of the controversial application.

Hosted by Friends of Hazelmere Campbell Valley, the meeting is set to take place Sunday (April 17) at 1 p.m. at the Semiahmoo Fish and Game Club, 1284 184 St. At issue is an application for a 77-acre commercial truck park at 16 Avenue and 194 Street, brought forward to Surrey city council last fall.

Community groups have expressed concerns about the potential environmental impact on the Little Campbell River, which runs adjacent to the property.

The project applicants, however, have said they are committed to protecting the integrity of the environmentally sensitive area.

A similar community meeting was held in December and attracted more than 150 people, who heard from several speakers opposed to the project.

South Surrey school hosts Relay for Life ▶ FUNDRAISER TODAY WILL HELP SEND KIDS TO CANADIAN CANCER SOCIETY’S CAMP GOODTIMES MELISSA SMALLEY

When Southridge Secondary student Justin Sanghe set in motion plans to host a Relay for Life at his Surrey school, he knew raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society was something

he and many fellow students would feel passionate about.

Plans for the relay have been in the works for nearly 10 months, after the Grade 11 student first approached the private school’s headmasters with the idea last June.

In the months that followed, Sanghe and his 15-member committee worked closely with the cancer society, and discovered that the school could funnel its funds directly towards an initiative that he said “connected with

us more on a personal level.”

The students decided on Camp Goodtimes, a recreation program that offers children and teens affected by cancer the chance to enjoy summer camp in Maple Ridge.

“They do everything that a kid would do, but they get treatment at the same time,” Sanghe, 17, said last week. “They’re younger kids who shouldn’t be going through this, so we wanted to help make it as easy as possible for them.”

Southridge’s Relay for Life is set to take place today (April 15) from 2 to 10 p.m. at the school’s grass field.

Like other relays that take place each year around the Lower Mainland, the event includes teams of walkers and runners trading off laps throughout the day, plus entertainment, food, games and other activities.

“Although it is a serious issue, we’ve tried to make it a little more fun so that people can celebrate their fundraising,” Sanghe said.

E N V I R O N M E N TA L E X T R AVA G A N Z A

The relay will begin with a survivors’ lap – walked by any students or family members who have been affected by cancer – and at sunset, a luminary ceremony will take place to honour those who have been lost to the disease.

Sanghe said he was inspired to spearhead the event after taking part in the organizing committee for a similar relay in 2014, hostJustin Sanghe, a Grade 11 ed by Vancouver’s student at Southridge School, St. George’s school.

young students like Justin and his committee,” Romaniuk said. “It’s very much been run and led by the students with Justin at the helm.”

Sanghe said the response from not only fellow students, but local businesses who have offered sponsorship has been encouraging, Sanghe said. And although he admits that undertaking such an event has been “challenging,” – he cites time management as one of the biggest obstacles the committee has had to overcome – he said it has been an enjoyable experience, and hopes to carry on the tradition next year.

“It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “It is work, but it isn’t stressful work that I don’t want to do.”

RCMP salutes voices of restorative justice BLACK PRESS

During National Volunteer Week (April 10-16), the Surrey RCMP is saluting its volunteers who give back to the community through their work with Surrey detachment. One of the volunteer opportunities available with Surrey RCMP is with the Restorative Justice Program.

The Restorative Justice Program has been in operation in Surrey since 2008 and has worked with more than 1,000 offenders during that time.

It is a voluntary program that supports youth and young adults who have committed crime by encouraging them to understand the effects of the harm they have caused and providing them with opportunities to make amends outside of the formal criminal justice system.

Through a “Community Justice Circle” or a “Restorative Resolution Meeting,” the Restorative Justice Program brings the offender together with either their victim or the community to focus on repairing the harm done by their crime, rather than punishment.

Recidivism rates show that Surrey offenders who successfully complete the Restorative Justice Program are less likely to re-offend, with only five per cent being charged with a criminal offence in the year after the conclusion of their file.

“The Surrey Restorative Justice Program is a win-win for victims, offenders, and the community,” said Restorative Justice Program Coordinator Jana Stocker. “The volunteers play an integral role in the success of the program by mentoring offenders.

By focusing on support and relationships, the program offers an effective alternative to the traditional court process.”

Louise Sallai has been volunteering with the program since 2013.

She said her experience helping youth see a

JANA STOCKER

connection between the decisions they make and their future is the most rewarding part of a personal learning experience.

“Volunteering permits me to grow as a person,” said Sallai. “I volunteer eight to 16 hours per month in addition to working and taking university courses. I am particularly proud of my role as a co-facilitator in our decision-making workshop where youth learn to make better decisions that positively impact their future.”

James Russell is also a volunteer and university student who donates his time to the program each month.

“I chose to volunteer as I believe that the basic principles of the Restorative Justice Program really benefit the City of Surrey as a whole,” said Russell.

“The program is able to help youth repair the harm caused by their mistakes by allowing them to give back to the community and volunteer at local agencies.”

Russell has participated in community circles and meetings, helped youth work through their community agreements by volunteering at the Surrey Food Bank and soup kitchens, and assisted them with writing apology letters to victims.

Stocker knows that volunteers allow the program to offer a more rounded service to the community.

“In celelebration of National Volunteer Week, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to all of our hard-working Restorative Justice Program volunteers who give back to the City of Surrey,” said Stocker.

On Thursday, April 14, the Surrey RCMP is hosting its annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner to recognize the dedication and contribution of its volunteers, including

those in the restorative justice and crime prevention programs, and those who volunteer in RCMP district offices.

Surrey RCMP volunteer numbers: • 34,375 hours contributed by volunteers in 2015; • 162 district office and Block Watch captain volunteers; • 80 auxiliary constables; • 14 Restorative Justice Program volunteers.

RRSPs – Basic Answers to Common Questions Thinking of buying a lottery ticket in the hopes of funding your retirement?

Why gamble your money away when you can invest it in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP)?

Q: Why buy an RRSP? A: As well as helping you save for retirement, there are two great tax benefits: 1. An RRSP contribution reduces your income tax, and depending on how much you make, you’ll end up with either a lower tax bill or a higher refund.

2. The money earned by an investment in an RRSP is not taxed until it’s withdrawn; it grows tax-free while it’s in your plan. Then, when you’re Ray Moschuk CAIB ready to retire, typically your income is lower and so is your tax rate.

Basically, you save on income tax and accumulate tax-deferred savings Financial Advisor for your retirement.

Q: How do people manage to come up with money at RRSP time?

A: Many people contribute smaller regular monthly amounts instead of one large annual lump sum payment. Not only is it easier to budget, but it also increases the value of the investment faster. You could also talk to your advisor about whether you might benefit from an RRSP loan.

Q: What’s the difference between buying an RRSP from a life insurance company compared to another financial institution?

A: One important difference is the type of investments held within an RRSP. Life insurance companies can offer a secure option called segregated funds. Just like mutual funds, segregated funds are invested in equities, bonds, and other investments. However, they differ dramatically in that segregated funds guarantee all or most of your principal investment upon maturity or death, while mutual funds generally have no guarantees at all.

A:

What can I do?

that the safest place for A: Wea catknowis inside the house. Some

people really want to allow their cat’s outdoor access though. In Surrey we do have a by-law which requires cat owners to have their cats fixed and to keep them on their own property.

A great place to start is to have a conversation with your neighbour, let them know how important your garden is to you and ask how they can help you find a solution to keep their cat satisfied at home.

Tinnitus is the word used for sounds which are heard in one or both ears in the head that do not come from an outside source. It is often described as ringing, buzzing, hissing, or pulsing.

Tinnitus is a symptom of another underlying cause.

Most people who have tinnitus have an associated Elaine Stein hearing loss, due to excessive noise, middle ear fluid or infections, and vestibular problems. Other M.SC.,RAUD RHIP causes of tinnitus can be due to trauma of the Clinical Audiologist head or neck, teeth or jaw problems, medications, high or low blood pressure, diabetes and most difficult to diagnose an acoustic neuroma (small tumor). Although most people suffering from tinnitus are told there is no cure, there are ways you can try to relieve your symptoms. If hearing loss is the cause, wearing a hearing aid with a tinnitus masker can allow you to hear more and thus not pay as much attention to the tinnitus, counseling, change in diet, stress management and joining a support group for people with tinnitus are also suggestions you can try.

It’s normal for teens to increasingly become independent decision makers and that’s part of healthy development. Positive results Angela Herd Dip. CSW, BA, DVATI, RCAT following decisions help build confidence and the Director belief that success is in their reach. No one likes making mistakes but they offer important lessons too. We learn a lot about ourselves when we make mistakes. How we cope with the consequences can strengthen or impair future decision making. We want our children to know some decisions require careful consideration. As you suggested, some decisions can carry long lasting, even serious consequences that a teen might not be aware could happen to them. Give her info or resources to find more info if needed. The quality of your relationship with her can be one of the biggest influences to decisions she makes. Youth like to talk about their thoughts, feelings and beliefs more than they like to be told what to do. A positive relationship with your teen is built over time, so it’s never too late to start working at it.

Congratulations! Upgrading flooring is a great investment that should give you years of enjoyment.

My suggestions are: Be honest! Do you have a good track record for completing projects? I’ve seen many attempted installations that don’t get finished. Incomplete floors don’t show well.

Lianne Gilder 1. Add value. A poor installation shows through and Design Consultant devalues a quality product. Certified professionals go through years of training; they make it look easy, but it isn’t.

2. Be familiar with the hazards of removing the existing floor. Asbestos, formaldehyde and mold are some of the contaminants found in old floors. Be cautious and investigate risks.

3. Take precautions from injury. Bending, twisting and lifting while working on your hands and knees can take their toll. Stretch first and use proper bending techniques. Wear appropriate protective gear, like masks, knee pads and hard toed shoes.

4. No short cuts! Floor preparation is extremely important. Every floor is different so be sure to check manufacturer websites for installation specifications.

If you’re not completely comfortable, consider hiring a professional. What you spend in extra dollars can save you time and grief!

Since the housing industry is growing too fast, there have been some measures put in place to make sure that stability is maintained. As a result, starting February 15, 2016; the down payment required for the houses over 500,000 will change however houses under 500,000 are not affected by this.

In your case, the down payment required for a house worth $700,000 would be 5.8% i.e. $35,000. I would recommend you visit our Facebook page ‘Ethical Financial’ for a detailed chart of down payment required for different home prices using the following link www.facebook.com/ ethicaladvise/?ref=hl

Bone Meal is a great fertilizer, but it breaks down slowly over a long period of time. It takes between 6 months and 2 years for Bone Meal to start feeding your plants. When you plant any new tree, shrub, or perennial it Miles Hunter is good to add Bone Meal but you should also add a fertilizer like the All Purpose 6-8-6 or the liquid Transplanter fertilizers. The nutrients in the Transplanter are available immediately for the plants to absorb. The All Purpose 6-8-6 is granular and breaks down over a 6 to 8 week period. This feeds your plants for the first 2 months.

Any annuals, herbs, or vegetables should be fed with the All Purpose 6-8-6 and the Transplanter as Bone Meal provides them little benefit.

For homes that have a forced air furnace and ductwork, an air conditioner can be connected to the same ducts the furnace uses. Unfortunately, in homes that have hot water heating (either in-floor or baseboard); the system Allan Lake that distributes the heat is unsuitable for air Owner conditioning.

For these homes we recommend ductless split air conditioners. These systems require an indoor unit to be installed high on the wall in each room or open area that requires cooling. They are more expensive than portable AC units, especially if you want to install multiple units to cool your entire home. However, they are quieter, more energy efficient, and more attractive.

You can see and hear this ductless split air conditioning system in operation at our office or have one of our cooling specialists come by for a free consultation.

Tougher penalties coming in real estate reforms ▶ REPORT SIGNALS MAJOR REALTOR REGULATION CHANGES

Visit our Booth at Party for the Planet!

Spin the wheel – children 12 and under can win great prizes!

Taking Care of Your Community!

JEFF NAGEL

B.C. Superintendent of Real Estate Carolyn Rogers has signalled she will recommend wide-ranging reforms of the real estate industry, including much tougher penalties to punish and deter realtors who are found to have engaged in predatory practices.

Her comments are contained in an interim report of an advisory group she was appointed to chair in the wake of revelations of misconduct by realtors in the overheated Vancouver-area real estate market.

The main example has been the practice of undisclosed “shadow-flipping,” where the home is resold to other, different buyers than the original one prior to closing – unbeknownst to the seller – allowing intermediaries to extract profits and realtors to collect more commissions, while ultimately driving up prices.

Rogers noted realtors are expected to solely defend their client’s best interests at all times and suggested

the current ability of realtors to represent both sides of a transaction creates risk that advantage may be taken of some consumers.

“Abusing otherwise legal practices such as assigning contracts or acting in any way that fails to clearly disclose the interests of a licensee or puts those interests ahead of a client’s interests, cannot be tolerated,” Rogers said.

Her report indicates the Real Estate Council of B.C. should get more enforcement tools to regulate realtors, and that all contract assignments be reported directly to the council.

She said penalties for unethical behaviour must be increased significantly – potentially with additional commissions and profits confiscated – and those penalties must apply to more types of infractions.

Premier Christy Clark had previously promised the province will deliver reforms to take the profit out of shady practices.

Rogers also flags “blurred lines” between the Real Estate Council of B.C. and industry realtor associations, which have taken on quasi-regulatory functions.

“We are concerned that the trade associations have assumed the role of triaging

consumer complaints and are doing so with no requirement for public transparency or reporting to the council,” she said. “We believe this must be cleared up.”

Also of concern, the report says, is that real estate licensees have reported misconduct to the media but not to official channels, apparently out of concern for repercussions.

B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said he believes Rogers’ probe is on the right track and he’s particularly concerned about her findings of blurred lines between the regulating council and real estate industry associations.

“Is the regulatory structure itself equipped to properly protect the public interest?” de Jong asked. “It needs to be clear to consumers and clients who has primary responsibility for that.”

He also acknowledged “the influence this red hot market is having on the industry.”

Real Estate Council of B.C. chair Marylou Leslie said the council fully supports the advisory group’s work.

Rogers’ advisory group is aiming to deliver a final report and recommendations in early June.

VACATION PROPERTY

N E W HHOME NEW O M E DDEVELOPMENT EVELOPMENT

What type of vacation home property is right for you?

By Nicolle Hodges When we hear the words “second home” or “vacation home,” the mind conjures images of a luxurious oasis on a remote piece of land far, far away from WiFi. But the dream of owning a getaway property is not reserved solely for the rich and famous, or those seeking a detox from technology. Many people have dreams of the cottage life: weekends spent by the lake and the campfire.

Others simply want a second home that is low maintenance, easily accessible, and similar to their actual home. As with most things in life, there are both pros and cons. For a lot of people, the decision whether or not to buy a vacation home comes down to how they plan to use it.

“There are many advantages to purchasing in a gated master-planned community,” says Eric Van Maren, managing partner of The Cottages on Osoyoos Lake. “First of all, there is the security and comfort of knowing your neighbours will keep an eye on your property when you are away. Knowing who your neighbours are will also make it easier for you to make friends. Typical master-planned communities have a community center, swimming pools, exercise facilities, etc. These would

be too expensive for a typical purchaser to construct on their own.”

Returning to the same place year after year can be comforting, especially as you familiarize with

the location and your neighbours.

It allows the opportunity to expand friendships with residents, as you become part of the social fabric.

While vacation homes are a great

place to connect with friends and family, he also says there are some costs people should be aware of before purchasing their second home, especially as a standalone property.

“Insurance cost for a standalone property may be significantly higher than in a community with neighbours, who can keep an eye on your property, says Van Maren. “Property taxes, annual maintenance, utilities even when you are not using the home, strata fees if you are part of a master-planned community, etc.”

Another disadvantage of buying a secluded standalone property is the difficulty of building on it. “In many locations it may be hard to get sub trades and suppliers to work on the new home. Security when there’s no one around is also a concern,” says Van Maren.

If you decide to opt for property “off

the grid,” make sure you have easy access to your land at all times of year. If you can’t drive in, it will be especially difficult to organize an efficient build and maintenance. There are many very inexpensive plots of land, which at first glance look like a great price, but access proves to be very difficult.

The most obvious advantage of a standalone house over is the size of the property on which a stand-alone house is built. This could also mean the value of the property increases in the long term. The size of the house is also a benefit, especially for those with growing families.

Whether you choose a masterplanned community or a standalone home, there are intangible benefits of passing property from generation to generation. Choose wisely.

Mangla Bansal has been friends with Kay Charter for 12 years. The two have a 75-year age difference. BOAZ JOSEPH

Generation gap – what generation gap? ▶ A COMMUNITY VIDEO TRAINING PROGRAM AIMS TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN YOUTH AND SENIORS BOAZ JOSEPH

One day in 2005, when Mangla Bansal was 17, seemingly out of the blue, she received a lengthy email from a 93-yearold woman.

The senior, Kay Charter, responded to a story in a Burnaby newspaper about the then-high school student who was involved with Amnesty International and other humanitarian projects.

“Many older people think that all young people are bad, which isn’t so.”

Charter wrote. “Also, many young people think older people are all cranky and out of touch, which isn’t true either.”

The email, writing about the challenges of life and the importance of positivity, concluded with: “So, go get ’em, Mangla.”

For the next three years, the two exchanged detailed historical, philosophical and emotional letters.

They were pen pals.

Eventually, they met in person, first at a Church Christmas dinner, then for other outings, often just walking in a park and talking.

It turned out they lived just two blocks apart.

Bansal, now 29, describes her relationship with Charter, now 104, as a “healthy, female version of Tuesdays with Morrie,” alluding to the story of a sports reporter’s relationship with his former professor.

Charter now lives on Vancouver Island, but the pair still regularly communicate.

The two are equals with a 75-year age difference, Bansal says.

“The generation gap is a bit of a blessing.”

Bansal and Charter when they first met in person at Christmas in 2005. SUMBITTED outlook on friendships to a new project called What Generation Gap? It’s a video training and story-sharing

project for youth and seniors in Surrey.

Youth aged 15-18, chosen by partners at the Surrey School District, will be strategically paired with a volunteer senior citizen who will share their story.

The selected youth will be trained to write, direct, shoot and edit a three-minute video telling the story of the senior.

Still accepting interviews with seniors for a few more weeks, Bansal has her spring and summer planned out for the project.

The seniors and organizers will meet June, she will get together with the students in early July, and filming will take place on July 14 and 18 at a park in Newton.

The movies will be shown at the What Generation Gap? project gala on July 23 from 12:30-4:30 p.m. at the Surrey Arts Centre (13750 88 Ave.). The public is welcome to attend. Admission is free.

One more information session is planned for Tuesday, April 19 at 1:30 p.m. at the Newton Seniors Centre, 13775 70 Ave. Seniors are welcome to share their stories with organizers.

Financial sponsorships are also welcome.

“1UP is a nostalgic nod to my childhood.

Blue Jays: a mix of veterans and rookies ▼ PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM SHOULD BE STRONG AT ALL POSITIONS, WILL START SEASON IN KELOWNA RICK KUPCHUK

Pitchers earn shutouts, Chiefs sweep Cardinals ▼ WHALLEY STARTS PBL SEASON WITH TWO VICTORIES IN ABBOTSFORD

RICK KUPCHUK

The Whalley Chiefs couldn’t have asked for a better start to their BC Premier Baseball League season.

The Chiefs were on the road for two games Saturday at Delair Park, where they swept the Abbotsford Cardinals 9-0 and 7-0 in a double header.

All aspects of the game were working well for Whalley. Their pitchers didn’t give up a run while limiting the Cardinals to just 10 hits, all singles.

Chiefs batters collected 16 hits, including six for extra bases, and the defense committed just one error over the 14 innings.

“Our guys have worked extremely hard during the winter and they expect to be successful with each plate appearance,” said Chiefs head coach Ernie Hawkins of the offensive production. “Was I surprised? Not at all, I like our group. We want them to be aggressive and they were Saturday.”

Thomas Espig had a huge game at the plate in the first game with three hits, one RBI (run batted in) and continued on page 27

With a mix of established veterans and promising rookies on the roster, the North Delta Blue Jays can expect to be in the BC Premier Baseball League playoffs for a second consecutive season.

The Blue Jays have eight players returning from last year’s team, which went 21-23 (win-loss) to place seventh in the elite 12-team U18 league. Another four have moved up from the Junior Blue Jays team which won a provincial championship in the 2014 season.

The Blue Jays wrapped up their preseason schedule last weekend by participating in the Best of the West tournament in Kamloops, a 10-team competition featuring teams from across B.C. and Alberta. North Delta topped the Vauxhall Academy of Alberta 8-1 in their first game, but then lost three straight by scores of 3-2 to the Okotoks (Alberta) Dawgs, the Selects and the White Rock Tritons.

“Our defense was solid, our pitching was solid and our hitting was okay,” said Jays head coach Gerry White. “We still have a few things to work on.”

White said the North Delta outfield will be “very strong” this season, with returnees Logan Newman, William Quito and Matt Poirier earning the starting roles.

Behind the plate, Noah Or and Dryden Dion will share the catching duties. Or played with the Jays last season, hitting .286, while Dion had a .356 batting average with the Junior Jays.

Veterans Tyler Hoefer, Alex Davis and Poirier will be the three starting pitchers. Hoefer Mackenzie Marquis was second on the team in earned run average (1.99) and strikeouts (59) a year ago. Davis will also be a threat at the plate, having hit .375 last season.

Second baseman Mackenzie Marquis will be one of the team leaders in 2016.

“We will be counting heavily on him,” said White of the Ladner resident who led the PBL in batting last season with a .400 average.

Playing the other half of the middle infield will be rookie Cole Evans, a New Zealand native playing his first season of baseball. Playing softball last year, Evans was named the Most Valuable Player at the U17, U19 and senior men’s national tournaments last season.

“It’s his first go at baseball, and he looks very good,” said White. “He’s very athletic and he’s made the adjustment hitting. He’s going to be a key guy for us.”

The Jays will start their season in Kelowna this weekend, playing four games over two days (Saturday/Sunday) against the Okanagan Athletics. The Athletics placed fifth in the PBL last season with a 24-20 record.

North Delta;’s home opener will be Tuesday night against the Abbotsford Cardinals.

Excitement building as world tournament nears ▶ GREGG TIMM DISCUSSES PREPARATIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL EVENT AT SOFTBALL CITY NICK GREENIZAN

First thing’s first – Greg Timm is not excited to be here, sitting on a picnic table at Softball City, talking about himself.

It’s not that the 52-year-old Surrey resident – and longtime chair of the Canadian Open Fastpitch Society – doesn’t enjoy a few minutes in the sun, talking softball, and more importantly, talking about the upcoming Women’s World Softball Championships, which Surrey is set to host in July.

It’s just that the affable Timm would much rather talk about everyone else – from volunteer ticket-takers and committee members to city staff – all of whom, he says, have helped to make the world championships a reality.

Over the course of a half hour, he mentions more than a few of them – like the 86-year-old volunteer who has been in charge of transportation for more than 20 years’ worth of Canada Cups and Canadian Opens; or Canada Cup founder Glenn Todd, or the legion of volunteers “with no skin in the game” who volunteer their time not because they have children involved in the sport, but simply because they enjoy it.

He gets excited, too, when the conversation drifts to the players themselves – players like Australia’s much-heralded pitcher Melanie Roche, who was a star at the inaugural Canada Cup in 1993 and is rumoured to be making a comeback at age 45 for this summer’s world championships; and Canada’s Sara Groenewegen, a former White Rock Renegade pitcher who is becoming a star in her own right.

“Sara is just tearing it up at the University of Minnesota right now. We’ll have a local hometown hero here to watch, and that adds a really exciting aspect to this tournament,” Timm says.

The tournament itself

Greg Timm is coordinating the preparations for the Women’s World Softball Championships set for July at Softball City. EVAN SEAL – set for July 15-24 – is three months away and exactly 100 days out as Timm sits chatting with a reporter with work swirling around them.

There is much to do between now and mid-July. Softball City itself is in the midst of a flurry of renovations – the four playing fields have all been redone, and irrigation and drainage in the park is also being improved, among other on-field work.

The washrooms have also been renovated, and by the time the summer hits, a myriad other esthetic improvements will have been completed, including removal of some old out-buildings, the pulling out of unruly landscaping, and the putting down of fresh sod.

At the main diamond, concrete has been poured for new dugouts, as well as the scorekeeper’s booth behind home plate.

According to Owen Croy, Surrey’s manager of parks, more than $1.5 million will have been spent to improve the facility, dating back to 2014.

“This is a fantastic facility – one of the crown jewels of Western Canada when it comes to softball – but it was in need of a refurbishment,” Timm said.

Away from the park, Timm and the organizers are as busy as ever.

And though there is much work ahead, he admits it’s nice to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

“It’s really starting to take shape now. We’re starting to get schedul-

ing done, but it’s still a nervous time because there’s so much to do,” he said. “We have 100 days to go, and we still have to go to Mars and back about 20 times.”

Most of the work is done on evenings and weekends, too, considering most volunteers work during the day.

For Timm, who is president of Pacific Customs Brokers, it also includes early-morning work, on account of most participating teams being in different time zones. Timm often wakes up to a slew of emails, and begins answering as early as 4:30 a.m.

He says he “is of both minds” when asked if time has flown by since his group was awarded the 2016 bid during a International Softball Federation convention in Cartagena, Colombia nearly three years ago.

“It does seem like a long time ago. But on the other hand, two and a half years can expire pretty quickly. It’s just been an unbelievable effort from our volunteers to get to this point,” he said. “Before we’d started anything, we knew this was going to be a massive effort. I feel pretty lucky here to have had so many great people get involved.”

In Surrey and beyond, Timm is no stranger to softball. He is the president of the White Rock Renegades, and was cochair – along with Todd – of the original Canada Cup. Since 2010, Timm has been chairman of the Canadian Open, the Canada Cup’s defacto replacement.

Timm got his start in softball just after high school, he explained, when he got the opportunity to coach with Team BC and, for a time, with the national program.

But it was meeting Todd – the Renegades’ founder – that really spurred Timm toward his decades-long commitment to the sport.

“Glen, he’s a big thinker. He taught me a lot – about thinking outside the box, about thinking big,” said Timm.

“Honestly, we reflect back to the Canada Cup days, and everything that Glen did to anchor softball in this community, and it’s a big deal for us. He is really the father of softball here – we’ve just taken it in a new direction.”

Timm is especially proud that this year’s event will include a Renegades’ alumni night – set for July 22 – that will coincide with Todd being inducted into the World Baseball/Softball Confederation Hall of Fame.

“It’ll happen right here on our field, with all his Renegades behind him,’ says Timm. “We’re all just so proud, because Glen deserves every bit of credit he can ever get.”

A 31-team roster is a record for women’s world championships, but what makes Timm – a staunch support of girls’ youth sports – proudest is where many of the teams are coming from.

“We’re having teams here from countries where young women have to battle to go to school, or to even play a sport. When we get those kind of countries here, that’s the part that’s very rewarding.”

With so much on his plate – and more to come once the event begins – Timm said he’s made a mental note to try and enjoy at least a few moments once the first pitch is thrown.

“When we get all the teams on the field for our opening ceremonies, I think it will be an emotional time for all of us, and we want to enjoy it,” he said.

“And on the 25th of July, once we get everybody on the bus and headed back to the airport… we’ll crack open a Bud and enjoy and reflect on what we’ve done.”

All-around medals for Best-ever score qualifies Aquasonics for Canadian Open SGS trio at Zone 3 meet RICK KUPCHUK

▶ SURREY TEAM PLACES SIXTH AT NATIONAL QUALIFIER NICK GREENIZAN

The Surrey-based BC Aquasonics had plenty to celebrate in the pool, after the synchronized-swimming organization’s junior team placed sixth at Synchro Canada’s National Qualifier Championships in Quebec earlier this month.

The sixth-place showing at the competition, which was held at Laval University, was the best-ever finish for a B.C.

junior team since the national qualifier event was introduced in 2013.

“We are tremendously proud of our junior team,” said Aquasonics head coach Susan Kemper. “We had a few curve balls thrown our way this year, but these young women work extremely well as a team and really came together for this competition.”

The junior squad placed fifth for their routine and sixthplace overall for their championship score.

In addition to Kemper and fellow coach Tanya Magee, the Aquasonics team includes

one run scored. Stephen Horner collected two hits, including a double, while Nolan Weger cracked a tworun home run in the fifth inning.

Brendan Fee allowed seven hits, did not give up a walk and struck out six Cardinals batters.

The Chiefs scored twice win the second inning and upped the difference to 3-0 after four. They scored four more runs in the fifth and added two more in the sixth.

Whalley jumped on the Cardinals early in the second game, scoring twice in the first inning then adding another in the second.

Espig, Brenden Yip and Owen Napieralski had two hits each for Whalley, with Horner scoring two runs.

Yip’s two hits were both doubles.

Alex Deluca went the distance for the win on the mound, allowing just two singles and three walks while striking out five batters.

“Both guys threw really well, they pounded the zone all day,” said Hawkins of the performances of two Chiefs’ pitchers Saturday. “Alex and Brendan are very similar, spotting up their fast balls and the had control of their off speeds, keeping Abbotsford off balance.

They’ve been our best during the preseason and deserved the opening day starts.”

The Chiefs were scheduled to play at home twice during the week. Tuesday’s

OBITUARIES

YOUNG, Candace

The Hope Standard is part of Black Press, Canada’s largest privately held, independent newspaper company with more than 150 community, daily and urban newspapers in B.C., Alberta, Washington State, Ohio and Hawaii.

May 5, 1946 - March 28, 2016 With sad hearts, we announce the passing of a wonderful mother, sister, grandmother, and friend. Candace was loved by all who knew her. She will be dearly missed by her daughter Debbie, husband Alan and grandsons Darren & Adam; her daughter Tannis and granddaughters Tayah & Tegan; her brother Ken, wife Pat, and nephews Kory & Greg; her soul mate John; and her adopted granddaughter Donna. She touched the hearts of many including those at Kennedy Senior Centre where she volunteered.

ON THE WEB:

Candace will always be remembered for her love of animals, her kindness to others, her great sense of humour, her willingness to share, and her wonderful smile.

Rest in peace dear one.
