SURREY HOME PRICES SOAR 30% RICK KUPCHUK

The housing market in Metro Vancouver is overvalued, claimed the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) late last month.

But figures released last week by the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) tells a different story, one of already high real estate prices continuing to climb.

“As with all things, it’s about supply and demand,” said Charles Weibe, FVREB president. “We have a wave effect, where people in Vancouver are selling for record prices, and moving out to the Fraser Valley where – for them – it’s more affordable. continued on page 4

Port Mann Bridge use jumps as Pattullo slows to a crawl ▼ MORE DRIVERS ARE WILLING TO PAY TOLLS TO AVOID SEVERE CONGESTION JEFF NAGEL

The Port Mann Bridge is seeing a jump in traffic as several thousand more drivers pay tolls to avoid worse-than-usual traffic delays at the free Pattullo Bridge as a result of construction.

Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Greg Johnson said 10 to 15 per cent more vehicles crossed the Port Mann on Monday and Tuesday last week than would on a typical weekday.

Normal weekday traffic for the toll bridge is between 100,000 and 110,000 crossings.

Transportation ministry officials hope more drivers try the Port Mann as an alternative to the Pattullo, which has become a worse bottleneck with one lane closed in each direction for the next five months until early October.

And if the Pattullo slowdowns aren’t bad enough, drivers on that route also hit major congestion in New Westminster, where Front Street is closed until July for the dismantling of the city’s parkade there.

New Westminster politicians have repeatedly urged the B.C. government to offer a reduced toll or some other incentive at the Port Mann Bridge during the Pattullo work to encourage more motorists to take the tolled crossing.

Johnson said that option was not considered.

“The best incentive for using the Port Mann Bridge is the time saving drivers get,” he said.

He said fluctuations in traffic at the Port Mann are expected in the weeks ahead as drivers re-evaluate their options in light of the Pattullo work.

“Ultimately, we think they’re going to make the decision to choose the faster and more reliable option, which is the Port Mann Bridge,” Johnson said. “But we also expect it’s going to take some time for people to come to that realization.”

The Pattullo was completely shut down last weekend as the $10-million rehabilitation of the deck began in earnest, but this week were the first weekdays where commuters grappled with the lane closures.

They’re causing an estimated 20- to 40-minute delays in the morning rush and 10 to 30 minutes in the afternoon peak, with higher volumes resulting on all feeder routes in Surrey and New Westminster.

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

New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Coté said he still hopes the province considers reduced Port Mann tolls during Pattullo construction.

“Out of all the crossings in the ▶ “The best area the Port Mann is the one incentive for that does have using the Port some excess capacity, so any Mann Bridge is opportunity to the time saving reduce the tolls is something we cerdrivers get.” tainly support,” GREG JOHNSON Coté said.

pledging to assist Albertans who have been displaced or lost their homes due to the fire in Fort McMurray.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the federal government will match individual contributions to the Canadian Red Cross (redcross.ca) to assist those affected by the massive blaze.

People in B.C. wanting to set up a personal crowdfunding campaign can do so through the BlackPress4Good fundraising site.

BlackPress4Good will waive the regular fees (excluding credit card fees) for any personal crowdfunding campaign launched in support of friends or family members affected by the Fort McMurray fires. See blackpress 4good.com for more information.

CBC reported Monday that the fire, fought by about 700 firefighters, covered about 204,000 hectares, and was growing at a slower pace than the previous week.

Jolly and Kiran Saluja watched the trucks leave Surrey after having volunteered on both Sunday and Monday.

The two said they regularly volunteer with Akal Academy. “(But) this (food drive) is something new,” said Kiran. “Something different.”

Bhurji thanked Fruiticana owner Tony Singh, who he phoned on Friday evening asking for space to load the trucks.

No problem, he was told.

“It’s my duty to give back to the

community,” said Singh. “Canada has given a lot to me… I’ve been here for 40 years.”

The project continues with another collection drive on Saturday, May 14 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Tamanawis Secondary, 12600 66 Ave. “People can drop off any non-perishable food items, clothing, basic necessities of daily life,” said Gill, who is coordinating with Alberta relief officials to find out about the items most needed.

“And there’s migration to the Fraser Valley from other parts of B.C. and from the rest of Canada.”

FVREB statistics show the benchmark price of a house in the Fraser Valley (which includes Surrey) climbed almost five per cent in one month, and more than 30 per cent over the past year. A house that sold for $595,600 in April, 2015 went for $776,500 a year later. (A benchmark price is what a typical house on the market would sell for).

In Surrey, the benchmark price of a detached house was $879,300 in April, a 30.3-per-cent increase from a price of $674,900 a year earlier.

The statistics from the FVREB were released days after the CMHC said nine large housing markets in Canada were “showing signs of being overvalued.” Metro Vancouver was one of the

The benchmark price of a home in Surrey was $580,337 in April, 2013, compared to $879,300 last month for a threeyear increase of 51.5 per cent.

But Weibe said there are still options for first-time home-buyers.

“What I did when I got into the market was start with a strata home,” he said. “I couldn’t afford a house.

But over time, I turned the strata home into a house purchase.

“You can get a condo in Abbotsford for less than $200,000, a townhouse in Langley or Surrey for less than $400,000. There are still affordable options in the Fraser Valley,” Weibe said.

Journalists from The Surrey-North Delta Leader were at the podium over the weekend, winning awards for writing and photography at the BC & Yukon Community Newspapers Association’s 2016 Ma Murray Awards.

Boaz Joseph received first place in the Sports Photo Award category for an image of the Cloverdale Rodeo (above right) and second place for “Puff of Purple” in the Feature Photo Award (Colour) for a photo of the Colour Me Rad 5K run at Holland Park.

Puff of purple “stood out, for its excellent timing and uncluttered composition,” said the judges, while the rodeo photo exhibited “tight focus, good expression and interesting content... The image draws viewers into the moment and compels them to feel the rider’s plight.”

Sheila Reynolds and Evan Seal won third place in the Feature Series Award category for their Caring for Kids project (below).

Judges said it was: “a “carefully focused, well-researched series on child care at Surrey Memorial Hospital that’s a real pleasure to read. Illustrated with the stories of families whose kids have been admitted to the hospital’s facilities, the author pays exhaustive attention to all aspects of its paediatric care. Sidebars on Ronald McDonald Family Room and a youth psychiatric unit fundraising project support the main stories.”

The Leader’s sister paper, the Peace Arch News, won top spot for Newspaper Excellence, receiving the highest marks overall against 10 other newspapers, including second-place Abbotsford News and thirdplace Cowichan Valley Citizen, both also published by The Leader’s parent company, Black Press.

Her parents and two older brothers were eager to meet her, too. But they weren’t prepared – yet.

It was April 7, 2015 when Joy decided to take centre stage and emerge from her mom’s womb. The length of a man’s shoe, she weighed about as much as a bottle of water.

At just under 36 centimetres (14 inches long), she weighed one kilogram (2.2 pounds).

With a pair of boys already running in circles at home, Kirsten and her husband David thought they were relatively prepared to welcome a third child. Until they had a preemie.

“After having two normal babies, it’s a very different,” said Kirsten. “You don’t get to hold your baby. You don’t get to smell her head.”

Unlike her other births, the Surrey mom was also greeted by an army of hospital staff, including doctors, nurses, neonatologists, respiratory therapists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, feeding specialists and more.

“I was amazed how many people wanted to come talk to me when Joy was born,” smiled Kirsten, who called Surrey Memorial Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)

VIEWPOINT

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Wednesday M ay 11 2016

Commenters: You have been warned Caution: What you say on Facebook could cost you – plenty.

Last week, a B.C. Supreme Court judge slammed an Abbotsford woman with an order to pay $67,500 in damages after she posted highly derogatory comments about a neighbour on Facebook.

The case stands as a prime example of the utter disregard some users of social media display in terms of the potential impact, and consequences, of their comments about other people.

The court heard that the woman became embroiled in a dispute with her nextdoor neighbour – a local teacher – involving his complaints about noise from her waterfall and messy visits by her dog.

Her posts and responses on her open Facebook site included suggestions that he was a pedophile who was videotaping her children – accusations which were discounted in court.

While the woman said she was merely “venting,” the judge found the comments to be “thoughtless” and “reckless” with a deeply damaging effect on the man and his reputation as a teacher.

Unfortunately, social media is rife with this kind of vitriol, flung around with cruel abandon, focused at people for the flimsiest of excuses, often targeting their gender, race or mere opinions.

Such behaviour has become so widespread that some media outlets have turned off commenting on their websites, unwilling to be vehicles for such ugliness and, in turn, liable for it.

It is sad and very disturbing that so many users of social media seem to think that posting on these platforms is a free-for-all, carrying no obligation to observe basic rights and respect.

The judge has clearly ruled otherwise, and thankfully so.

It’s a powerful message to those who feel civility and accountability don’t exist in the realm of social media.

Indeed, they do. And so does the law.

Growing trees for climate change BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher

Disagreements persist on the extent of humanity’s role in the current changes to B.C.’s climate, and our ability to influence it, as many readers have told me in the past week.

But almost everyone seems to agree that growing more and healthier forests is a good strategy. I would add that harvesting and building with wood preserves its captured carbon, a fact not much discussed in emotional appeals against logging.

The B.C. government is finally spending some money on community fuel load removal projects this year, after an initial flurry following the Kelowna fires of 2003 faded in hard times. But the effects of decades of fire suppression in a fire-dependent forest system remain, as northern B.C. and Alberta are showing us again.

There is some positive news here. A Victoria-based government research team has published a study that calculates B.C.’s pine beetle-damaged forests are regenerating more quickly than expected.

Warmer temperatures, increased

precipitation and the “fertilizer effect” of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are factors.

“By 2020, the enhanced growth due to climate change and increased CO2 more than compensates for the carbon loss from dead, rotting trees,” said lead researcher Vivek Arora of the Canadian Centre for Modeling and Analysis.

This recovery even overcomes the projected increase in forest fire loss that comes with gradually increasing temperatures and drier periods.

The federal government is still working on its plan to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets agreed to in Paris last year. But the forest industry has stepped up with its own goal.

I spoke last week with Derek Nighbor, president of the Forest Products Association of Canada, after he announced his industry’s “30 by 30 Climate Change Challenge.”

That’s a goal to reduce the industry’s net carbon emissions by 30 megatonnes a year by 2030. That would be 13 per cent of the Canadian government emission target.

One of the main strategies is salvage harvesting and developing more products that use wood.

“It’s basically trying to use every part of the tree,” Nighbor said. “In forest operations right now, this is where we see a big part of the opportunity. Instead of the residual branches and whatnot just being left aside and slashing and burning, bring more of that out and turn it into something.”

That something might be a console in a luxury car constructed with wood fibre, or an 18-storey wood student residence building planned for the University of B.C. The other is improving forest growth.

Logging operations have long been required to replant areas they cut, not just in B.C. but across Canada.

Another way to improve forest carbon capture is with more productive species, with genetic techniques that increase resiliency as well as wood mass.

A background paper from the B.C. forests ministry responds to common

misconceptions about forest carbon, including the idea that logging should be stopped to maximize storage.

“Maximizing carbon storage in the ecosystem would make sense only if society stopped building new homes, acquiring new furniture and consuming in general,” it says.

“If the flow of forest products stops, society will turn to other products with higher greenhouse gas footprints, e.g. plastics, metal or concrete. In addition, if harvesting stopped and we continued to suppress natural disturbances, there is increased potential for larger catastrophic disturbances in the future.”

If Canada wants to make a bigger contribution to reducing greenhouse gases, forests are a good area to focus on. At 348 million hectares from the B.C. coast to Newfoundland, they represent nine per cent of the world’s forests.

HOV cheaters are selfish individuals ▼ AN ELECTRIC CAR PURCHASE REVEALS DANGEROUS HABITS

On March 2, Premier Christy Clark announced that electric vehicles would be allowed in the HOV lanes with a single occupant, provided they had a decal.

I was delighted to hear this news as we purchased our first electric car in March and we have been very happy with this purchase.

A couple of weeks later, my HOV OKAY decal arrived in the mail and I’ve now been driving in the HOV lane, cutting my commute down by 25 minutes each way, every day.

I’ve always known that some people cheated by driving in the HOV lane when they were not supposed to, but I never paid much attention because my eyes were always on the road. But since I’ve had my decal and using the HOV lane to get to work and back, I’ve come to realize that the amount of cheaters is prevalent.

Every third car driving in that lane contains only one person and the car doesn’t qualify to be there. Not only are these people cheaters, but dangerous drivers as they are crossing the solid white line to sneak into the lane and even cutting off traffic to do so.

Recently, as I was coming off the Port Mann Bridge headed westbound, the traffic was backed up in the left,

Buying an electric car and benefitting from access to HOV lanes has one letter writer crying foul over cheating motorists. FILE PHOTO

middle and right lane and two cars from the left lane simultaneously jumped illegally into the HOV lane, cutting me off. Thank goodness for the newest technology in an advanced braking system that most cars have today, as it surely worked for me – even though I left some rubber on the road to try and miss these idiots.

I hit my brakes and my horn. These two losers then slink back into the left lane... again illegally crossing the solid white line and cutting off the left lane drivers, each almost causing another accident.

My only guess is these cheaters are selfish, mindless, elite-thinking individuals who somehow believe their time and their lives are more important than anyone else. If these people are willing to cheat in traffic, these same people are often willing to cheat in their taxes, relationships, personal expenses and anywhere else where they think they can get ahead of the pack. There are other options these losers can take: Buy an electric car and get a decal and be legally driving in the lane, carpool or take the bus.

For now, my spouse is looking into installing dash cameras in the front and back of our electric car to capture these accident-causing cheaters as it’s going down.

At minimum, an accident captured on camera would prove to ICBC and the police who caused the chaos on the road.

Define your future health care decisions ▼ FAMILY MEMBERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF END-OF-LIFE MEDICAL WISHES A recent family dinner had gone well at a neighbhourhood restaurant in South Surrey, with more than eight family members gathered around the table for good food and great conversation. After dinner, Granddad declined a ride, opting instead to make the 10-minute walk home.

Shockingly, Granddad suffered a heart attack on the way, falling onto a library lawn. It was 10 minutes before he was

found, another five to 10 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, and another five to 10 minutes for CPR to be attempted – without success.

Our experience prompted our family to discuss the question: Was resuscitation what Granddad wanted? We didn’t know.

He had not discussed his wishes around medical interventions with us and we had nothing in writing to go by.

That one night changed our family’s perspective. It altered our ideas about what could happen to any of us at any time. I am now more aware of daily news headlines of sudden, unexpected deaths of people of all ages (not just grandparents). While

▼ APOLOGY OVER KOMAGATA MARU INCIDENT ACKNOWLEDGES HISTORICAL SENSE OF EXCLUSIVITY Letter writer Fred Perry maintains that “it makes no sense to apologize for a mistake made more than 100 years ago” (May 6 Inbox, The Leader).

He asks why Trudeau should ask forgiveness, on behalf of the Canadian people, for the Komagata Maru incident.

I believe that Mr. Perry’s

question deserves an answer.

If you think in terms of how you and your immediate family had no hand in the incident, then the argument is valid.

However, I am grateful that our government takes a deeper moral stance. A majority of us who are alive now have benefitted greatly from the

adults may have stated their financial wishes through wills, the vast majority has not documented their conversations about their values around personal health care decisions.

Individuals can state instructions in an Advance Care Plan (ACP) and be assured that their medical wishes at end-of-life – whether expected or unexpected – will be respected. Making an ACP also includes deciding your preferences for life-extending measures. Learning about these issues, talking about them with your family (and possibly health-care professionals) as well as naming one or more substitute decision maker(s) are the important first steps.

racist policies of our country.

The Komagata Maru incident is not just about a ship full of South Asians turned away from Vancouver in 1914, but about the racist, exclusionary attitude that it perpetuated and which we have never fully dealt with.

In a much deeper sense, this apology acknowledges not only a wrong done to a few Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus way back when, but that we, as Canadians, are prone to embrace privilege, and that compassion is often dismissed

Sometimes the person suffering an attack or accident isn’t with their family (or substitute decision maker), as was the case with my Granddad.

I’ve learned that each of us should make our advance care decisions known. It can be as straightforward as filling out a form – available in booklets such as My Voice (B.C. Ministry of Health) and keeping the forms on your fridge, where it is easy to locate for emergency personnel or others.

I personally have greatly benefitted from the fact that my ancestors denied many people their human rights. I support Trudeau’s apology.

So what if it happened 100 years ago? Justice delayed is justice denied.

I am a 16-year-old girl. Why people are against this, I do not understand.

All that was asked was an apology. Not money or anything. The apology makes sense to me. Why be negative? It’s a 100 years late, but at least it’s happening.

▶ NOVICE DRIVER WAS TRAVELLING 197 KM/H IN A 100-KM/H ZONE ALONG HIGHWAY 1 IN SURREY KEVIN DIAKIW

A novice driver from Abbotsford has been curbed after he was seen racing another car on Highway 1 in Surrey last week.

On Thursday, at just after 1 a.m., the Port Mann Traffic Services officer spotted a car speeding near 152 Street on Highway 1. It was travelling 142 km/h in a 90-km/h zone.

As the officer approached the vehicle – a 2008 Grey Infiniti G37 – he saw it was jockeying for position with another car.

Once the vehicles were side by side, both accelerated to a radar reading of 197 km/h in a 100-km/h zone.

The second vehicle then darted off the highway at the 176 Street off-ramp, while Infiniti was pulled over near 192 Street.

The driver of the Infiniti is a 22-year-old man from Abbotsford.

He was given a $468 ticket for excessive speeding and received a 15-day driving pro-

“Vehicles travelling at this rate of speed on our highways is certainly not the norm,” said Const. Mike Moore of Port Mann Traffic Services.”

Port Mann Traffic Services is looking for witnesses to help

identify the second vehicle. If you were travelling on Highway 1 between 152 and 176 Streets at about 1:20 a.m. on Thursday, May 5 and have any information about this incident, contact the Port Mann Traffic Services at 604-5269744 and cite file #2016-2750.

Gun charges net probation for Surrey cop

KEVIN DIAKIW

A Surrey Mountie found guilty of gun possession charges has been given a conditional discharge and put on 18 months probation.

In January, Surrey RCMP Const. David Matthew Clarke was found guilty of two gun possession charges stemming from a search of his home six years ago.

In October 2010, Clarke owned a home in Chilliwack and lived in a rented basement suite in Cloverdale. His girlfriend lived in the Chilliwack home with her kids.

After a dispute with him, she called Clarke’s supervisor, which eventually led to a search of the Chilliwack home, of which she gave consent.

In that home, RCMP found an FN FAL semi-automatic rifle and a Remington Colt semi-automatic handgun.

Clarke was sentenced on April 25 and given a conditional discharge, put on 18 months probation and prohibited from possessing a firearm for five years.

from his injuries and the suspect was last seen northbound on foot in the 12100-block of 75 Avenue.

The male suspect is described as having dark hair, dark beard, wearing black shoes, blue jeans and a white

tank top (see photo bottom left).

The suspect’s vehicle is described as a grey Mazda 3 hatchback.

“What started as a simple traffic incident quickly escalated into a life-threatening situation for the vic-

tim,” said Cpl. Scotty Schumann. Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-

599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.solvecrime.ca.

Unregistered firearms turned over to police ▶ SAFE CITY PROJECT FINDS MORE THAN 500 WEAPONS WITH EXPIRED REGISTRATION RICK KUPCHUK

More than 500 firearms were turned in to Surrey RCMP during their 24-day Safe City project last month.

With support from the National Weapons Enforcement Support Team and B.C.’s Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, local police contacted owners of restrict-

ed and prohibited firearms with expired registration.

The Safe City project ran from April 4 to 22, and in addition to the firearms turned in, 3,000 rounds of ammunition were also handed over to police. Most owners did so while requesting RCMP safeguard the firearms while they were re-registered.

Roughly 50 firearms were given to officers by owners no longer wishing to keep them.

The emphasis of the program was education, more than enforcement, said Assistant Commissioner Bill Fordy, Officer

in Charge of Surrey RCMP. “The Surrey RCMP recognizes there are many reasons why gun owners may have let their firearms registration lapse, including not even realizing they are expired,” Fordy said.

“The vast majority of firearm owners in our city are compliant with the laws. The intent of the Safe City project is not to penalize gun owners, but to educate those with expired registrations on the legal requirements to own a firearm.”

Many firearms had been passed on from deceased family mem-

A first offence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take effect June 1.

The fine for distracted driving goes up from $167 to $368, and drivers will also be assessed four penalty points, triggering another $175 charge. The combination results in a total penalty of $888 for a second offence within a year of the first.

Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said the new fines put B.C. near the top of distracted driving fines for Canadian provinces, and two tickets in a year will also trigger an automatic review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that could result in licence suspension.

still issues a pointed reminder that bad driving is not a laughing matter.

“Driving is one of the most dangerous things people do,” Ramey said. “Any time you’re doing anything other than not concentrating on driving – at some point you’ve got to draw a line.”

There were more than 100,000 crashes reported by ICBC in Metro Vancouver in 2013, and another 72,000 in the Fraser Valley.

ICBC and the RCMP continue to focus their awareness programs on the trio of risky driving behaviours: speeding, texting and driving while impaired.

Distracted driving was a factor in 23 per cent of fatal crashes across B.C. in 2014, ahead of impairment at 21 per cent and behind speed at 27 per cent.

behaviour,” Ramey said. “Bad drivers are the ones who cause the mayhem. If you’ve ever been to a scene where there are people in pain, you want to do something.”

There are plenty of mistakes that get made on a frequent basis, Ramey noted.

▶ “You can travel a long distance in three seconds...”

COLLEEN WOODGER

Two of the things that pop up regularly include passing on the shoulder to the right of someone making a left-hand turn, and stopping to wave a jaywalker through. In the latter instance, Ramey said you may think you are just being courteous, but you’re not.

“When you start breaking the rules and other people are following the rules, that’s when things collide.”

Another common failing is that not nearly enough people consistently use their signal lights or shoulder check while changing lanes. In the above cases, you are creating or dealing with blind spots.

“Always be looking out for another road user,” ICBC Road Safety Co-ordinator Colleen Woodger said. “They are extremely vulnerable.”

Eating behind the wheel is not an offence, although extremes like the plate of spaghetti could get you a ticket for driving without due care and attention, a catch-all category for many poor habits.

Woodger suggests drivers should put distractions like cellphones out of reach so they aren’t tempted.

Frequently “one quick look” can turn into several.

“They think ‘I’m kinda expecting this text’ and they look down,” said Ramey. “You can travel a long distance in three seconds.”

Finally, Woodger advised to leave early for your destination.

“Our biggest message is to slow down and give yourself enough travel time,” she said.

“Driving takes your full attention.”

SALE SA LE LE SA

TOM FLETCHER

The B.C. government is boosting its next scheduled increase in the minimum wage to 40 cents, bringing it to $10.85 per hour on Sept. 15.

Premier Christy Clark said last Wednesday (May 4) the increase is above the consumer price index formula increase of 10 cents, to share economic growth and “create a fairer, more just society.”

Another 30-cent boost to the formula is scheduled for September 2017. Assuming the cost of living formula adds 10 cents, the minimum wage would be $11.25, which Clark said will make B.C.’s rate the third highest in the country.

NDP labour critic Shane Simpson said this year’s increase brings B.C.’s minimum wage to seventh place among Canadian provinces, tied with Yukon.

“What the premier did today was a response to being embarrassed by the fact that we were last,” Simpson said.

Clark acknowledged that the formula has seen B.C.’s rate fall behind. The first formula increase was 20 cents in September 2015.

The B.C. Federation of Labour has been campaigning for a $15 minimum wage. It has estimated that based on the B.C. formula, it would take until 2034 to reach that level.

Simpson said the minimum wage will be an issue in the 2017 election, and the NDP will propose a wage higher than what Clark and Jobs Minister Shirley Bond an-

nounced Wednesday.

“I don’t necessarily want $15,” Simpson said. “What I want is an understanding of what it takes for somebody on minimum wage to be able to have a modest standard of living.”

Clark also announced an additional $2.88 million in training programs to respond to labour shortages. Most of the federal-provincial program will go towards job training up to $15,000 for employers who hire an unemployed person.

Sixteen-year-old Pat Dooley was a gifted athlete, but golf was his passion.

In fact, the Surrey teen would spend countless hours on the greens, fine-tuning his game, sometimes well past nightfall.

“He would play golf all day and when I would go pick him up, it would be dark and I would walk the course to find him,” recalled his dad Steve Dooley.

“And he would still be playing.”

Dooley figured his son liked to be out in nature on his own and golf really fit the bill.

In January of 2008, Pat developed what seemed to be the flu.

He was studying for his final exams and began to feel sick, but he was so deter-

the hospital and he was admitted right away.

Pat was diagnosed with viral encephalitis, a flu-like virus that attacks the brain.

It’s an extremely rare condition that occurs in about one in 700,000 people.

While at the hospital, Dooley was able to convince Pat’s teachers to give him a passing grade on his provincial math exam, a decision that didn’t sit well with his son.

“I told him, ‘because you’re already getting 92 per cent in math you don’t have to write your provincial exam,’” said Dooley.

“He was so mad at me, he said, ‘that’s none of your business. I’m going to write that exam when I get better’.”

Pat passed away eight days later.

Despite their tremendous loss, the Dooley family felt they needed to do something to honour their son and help others.

After graduating from high school, Pat had planned to attend the Turf Management Program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) in Surrey, a program that seemed to mesh well with his love of golf and the outdoors.

This fall, the first recipient of the annual Pat Dooley endowment fund will be awarded $1,000 towards their tuition in the program Eight years ago, the Dooley family began to build the fund in Pat’s honour and the KPU turf club students offered to top up the fund to the endowment level of $20,000 by organizing a golf tournament at Mayfair Lakes in Richmond in April, the course Pat called home.

The fund is designed for someone who emulates the qualities Pat had, said his dad, including high integrity, being involved in the community and wanting to give back.

“At Pat’s memorial the theme was ‘Take Pat With You’ and this endowment fund is such a great example of that,” said Dooley.

“Because now, eight years later, some deserving student will be taking Pat with them and living out his dream.”

▶ COMMUNITY BRIEFS

Money for new floors at Cloverdale Legion ▶ BRANCH 6 RECEIVES $22,500 THROUGH FEDERAL PROGRAM BLACK PRESS

There was a welcome federal government announcement Saturday (May 7) at the Cloverdale Legion, where a months-long renovation project is underway.

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 is receiving $22,500 through the New Horizons for Seniors Program, Cloverdale-Langley City MP John Aldag announced on behalf of the federal minister of Families, Children and Social Development, Jean-Yves Duclos.

The money will enable the Legion to renovate the flooring in the building, in order to offer a safe environment for seniors to continue to dance and take part in seminars and other events at Branch 6, a popular community gathering spot for clubs, live music, meetings and

socializing.

The building is undergoing a $350,000 renovation that will upgrade the auditorium, kitchen, washrooms and lounge area, and update the interior, along with refreshing the exterior. Of the budget, $152,000 is a federal Canada 150 Community Infrastructure grant, which Branch 6 matched, dipping into its reserves to pay for the project.

The branch is expected to remain open with as little disruption to patrons as possible during the renovations, expected to wrap up by October.

Arts, cultural funding announced Three arts and cultural institutions in Surrey will receive a share of $130,000 in provincial operating grants from the BC Arts Council, it was announced Friday.

The BC Arts Council is an independent agency funded by the

province of British Columbia, and in 2015-2016, it provided $24 million to artists and cultural organizations in communities across B.C. The operating grants are as follows: $77,000 for the Surrey Art Gallery, $28,000 for the Surrey Museum and Archives, and $26,936 for the Arts Council of Surrey.

“Access to the Surrey Art Gallery’s exhibitions and events are made available for free as a result of grant funding,” said Surrey Art Gallery Association president Jannette Maedel.

“These grants enable the gallery to provide learning opportunities and exhibitions that engage tens of thousands of visitors and program participants, as well thousands of school children from across the Metro Vancouver region and beyond each year.”

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner applauded the

continued support of the BC Arts Council because the grants have an immediate impact on arts and culture programming

in the city.

Surrey’s cultural organizations and its artists provide “significant benefits to our city through com-

munity engagement that promotes social cohesion and provides substantial economic impact,” Hepner said.

Peter Fassbender,

minister of community, sport, and cultural development, and minister responsible for TransLink, made the announcement.

All-gender restroom ‘a step forward’ at Lord Tweedsmuir ▶ BATHROOM IS SYMBOLIC OF CULTURE OF ACCEPTANCE, STUDENTS AND STAFF SAY JENNIFER LANG

Surrey’s oldest high school broke new ground last week, celebrating its first-ever Pride Week and opening a gender-neutral restroom.

Rainbow streamers have filled the school, and last Tuesday, students decorated colourful, tie dye T-shirts.

Students and staff wore them to show their support at Thursday’s official opening of the new, all-gender restroom, located on the second floor of the Cloverdale school.

“When there are [U.S.] states taking a step back, it’s nice to know Tweedsmuir is taking a step forward,” said Liam Ponzini, a representative from the school’s Gay Straight Alliance (GSA). He cut the

She credited the work of the GSA and teachers for supporting the project.

“I believe this really proved to us that we may be young, but that our voices matter,” she said.

The Surrey School District’s Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Policy addresses rights and inclusion, but doesn’t specifically address gender-neutral washrooms. Instead, it provides the context to ensure appropriate accommodations are made in a sensitive way that respects the specific needs of the individual.

There are already about a half-dozen secondary schools in Surrey that accommodate students who request a private washroom, district spokesman Doug Strachan said.

They aren’t necessarily designated with a “gender neutral” sign on the door.

Lord Tweedsmuir’s has a sign denoting its all-gender status. It reads, “Anyone can use this restroom regardless of gender identity or expression.”

It’s also wheelchair accessible.

“We’re really happy that students have lobbied,” said teacher Penny Turpin, explaining that they have been looking to school administration to find a way to make the gender-neutral washroom a reality.

She said principal Buggie looked to other models at other schools to see how it could be implemented.

B.C. trims movie tax breaks

▶ SUBSIDIES WERE UNSUSTAINABLE SAYS FINANCE MINISTER JEFF NAGEL

The B.C. government is trimming its film tax credits for foreign movie, TV and game makers after warning the annual costs for taxpayers to subsidize their work was threatening to grow exponentially to unjustifiable levels.

The province’s payout to the industry through the tax credits was forecast to reach $491 million for 2015, up more than 50 per cent from an average of $313 million in the previous three years, and $182 million for 2007-11.

The basic production services tax credit drops from 33 to 28 per cent and the digital animation or visual effects credit dips from 17.5 to 16 per cent.

“We think we’ve arrived at a place that will ensure the industry itself continues to grow and enjoy the success that it has but also there is fairness for other sectors of the B.C. economy,” Finance Minister Mike de Jong told reporters.

He predicted there are still “extremely good days ahead” and said the changes were made after a two-month review and close consultations

Actor Ryan Reynolds and director Tim Miller on the set of Deadpool in Vancouver. PHOTO SUBMITTED with the film industry.

“They recognized that we were heading into territory that was unsustainable.”

About 25,000 B.C. jobs depend on the film industry.

Government subsidies refund between $33 and $71 out of every $100 spent by a film company on eligible labour – equivalent to an average of $25,000 for each B.C. worker in the sector.

Because the credits are

refundable, companies get them even if they pay little or no tax to government.

De Jong’s move to rein in the tax credits was telegraphed in the February provincial budget, when the review was announced.

That was shortly after the swooning loonie bottomed out around US 68.5 cents, fuelling predictions of a record film production year for Hollywood North – and even

higher tax credits paid out – because the currency gap has made B.C. even cheaper for American studios.

The dollar has since rebounded to nearly 80 cents, but remains considerably lower than it was from 2010 through 2014.

De Jong said his staff are watching the currency movements and are prepared to take a more flexible approach to adjusting the tax credit rates in future years, if necessary.

He said there’s no question a lower loonie than a couple of years ago is continuing to attract productions, but added so are B.C.’s skilled workforce, spectacular locations, infrastructure and proximity to Hollywood.

A cap on the total credits B.C. would pay out was considered, but rejected. De Jong said studios did not want the uncertainty of not knowing if the cap would be reached and their production would be denied the credit.

The rate changes for foreign producers take effect Oct. 1 but productions or series that at least start shooting by then are grandfathered in at the old rates.

Separate tax credit rates remain unchanged for domestic productions that meet Canadian content guidelines.

Zoë, early on in her recovery at the BC SPCA.

▼ ZOË: A WHOLE NEW DOG BLACK PRESS

Being a hero isn’t restricted to any one species, as the people and the animals of the BC SPCA have proven time and again.

The BC SPCA honoured a wide range of diverse heroes at its annual BC SPCA Awards ceremony, held at a dinner event on May 6 in Abbotsford.

Among them was Zoë, who won the Animal Courage Award.

Zoë was one of 57 neglected animals seized from a Surrey property in August 2015.

When Zoë first came into the care of the BC SPCA, she had scabs on her head from being confined to a crate far too small for her size and she was extremely fearful of anyone or anything new to her.

She was even afraid to go for walks, or go through doorways or up or down stairs.

Zoë spent many days in the BC SPCA’s provincial office while she was a foster and learned, with the help of staff dogs like Tuli and Winston, how to be a dog again.

Zoë today. SUBMITTED Under the tutelage of Tuli and Winston, Zoë blossomed into a whole new dog, leaving staff wondering if this was the same dog as before.

Despite persistent attempts to find an “in-house” adopter to keep her around forever, office staff were ecstatic when she found a forever home, where she is showered with love, attention and affection every day.

“This year’s awards recipients lead by example and showcase all the reasons why our work is so rewarding,” said BC SPCA CEO Craig Daniell. “I am constantly amazed and humbled by the outstanding staff, volunteers, partners, supporters and others who help us help the province’s most vulnerable animals. It’s truly extraordinary to have such impressive support.”

However the experience he gained on the world stage has helped mold Bains into the wrestler he is today.

During the high school wrestling season Bains trains up to three times a day, five days a week with both the Queen Elizabeth Royals high school team Khalsa Wrestling, his club team.

His day begins at 5:30 a.m. with breakfast at home and then to the weight room.

In the afternoon it’s school practice, then club practice, with homework squeezed in between.

Weekends are spent competing in tournaments throughout the Lower Mainland

Junior World Championships in Macon, France in August.

His plan is to study criminology in university, however Bains has yet to commit to one specific school, although plenty have shown interest.

“I’m looking at both Oregon State and SFU, but I haven’t fully decided yet.”

Other Surrey wrestlers who placed at the National tournament were Samsher Sidhu (first, 76kg Cadet Boys), Arjot Gill (first, 100kg Cadet Boys), Ali Raguzar (third, 58kg Cadet Boys), Harmonjot Deol (fourth, 100kg Greco) and Harjot Judge (fifth, 100kg Greco).

For Queen Elizabeth Secondary School wrestler Jason Bains, his last year as a high school wrestler proved to be solid gold.

Bains recently returned home from the 2016 Asics Cadet/ Juvenile Canadian Wrestling Championships at the University of Calgary April 15-17 with a gold medal in the 100kg (220 lbs.) Juvenile Men’s freestyle division.

For the 6’2” Bains, wrestling is in his blood, with his uncle, father and two older brothers all successful wrestlers in both Canada and India.

“I used to watch my two older brothers wrestle on the living room carpet when I was a kid,” said the hulking grappler. “So when I was in Grade 4, I decided to give wrestling a try.”

Bains has grown since his first few tournaments as a 49kg (108 lbs.) youngster, but time on the mat and in the weight room has allowed the 18-yearold Grade 12 student to travel around the world competing in the sport he loves.

Despite suffering an ankle injury two weeks earlier, Bains surrendered only two points throughout the tournament with no match lasting the full two rounds, winning the final over Arjun Sahota of Ontario with a 10-0 technical decision.

This is the third national title for Bains, previously winning gold in 2013 and 2014.

At the 2015 national tournament in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Bains placed second to fellow B.C. wrestler Nishan Randhawa. However, since Randhawa was a second-year juvenile, Bains was able to take first place in the United World Wrestling Cadet National team trial (Grades 9-11), placing him on the Canadian National Cadet team for the

Trapeze artists bring gold from Australia ▶ TWO 13-YEAROLD ATHLETES REACH NEW HEIGHTS AT CIRCUS FESTIVAL MIRANDA GATHERCOLE

After months of intense physical training, a 15-hour flight from Vancouver to Australia and hours of hair and makeup, it wasn’t until Caitlin Mckenzie and Gabrielle Payn were suspended from a trapeze under the big top at the Australian Circus Festival that they really felt like part of a carnival.

It was the first time the 13-year-old trapeze artists from Langley’s Circus Lab performed inside a real circus tent, and the show-like atmosphere really paid off.

Both took home gold medals last

week for their skyhigh trapeze routines in their age category, and Payn – who is from Surrey – also won bronze for hand-balancing, a huge feat for such a prestigious event.

▶ “I was just really surprised and thrilled for them...”

SVETLANA DELOUS

“I was just really surprised and thrilled for them, I know how many hours they’ve put in,” said coach Svetlana Delous, who is also co-owner of the Circus Lab. “We’re here at the gym every single day in the weeks prior to (competition).

Every time they get a

chance, they practice their skills, they film it to see how it looks (and) how they can improve it.”

The competition, which features a professional jury including the director of the National Institute of Circus Arts and competitors from around the world, is not only an opportunity for Mckenzie and Payn to show their skills internationally, but also to meet other professionals in the industry.

“They don’t really go for the competition aspect,” Delous said.

“It’s really rare to see other kids doing circus. It’s not like dance or soccer or gymnastics where so many other kids are into it. It’s so rare, especially to find someone who also does trapeze, or also does hand-balanc-

ing. Even when you bring circus people together, they do so many different things. So a big part of why we try to get our students to go, is so they meet people that do the same thing and they have awesome friends overseas that are just as motivated and passionate as they are.”

Both Payn and Mckenzie, who is from Langley, have been training with the Circus Lab since it opened its doors three years ago.

They have put in a huge commitment to excel at the level they do, including being home schooled to allow more time for training.

Both hope one day to tour with Cirque du Soleil or other performing groups.

“It’s kind of just like my happy place,” Mckenzie said of being on the trapeze.

“It’s really awesome.

It feels like you’re – its hard to explain actually – it just feels really cool.”

Payne said the experience in Australia was “breathtaking,” especially when seeing others perform.

“It’s just really

awesome watching that,” she said. “All the acts are really good. When I see the trapeze acts it’s really exciting.”

Beyond the physical benefits of circus performing, Delous says learning the skills has helped kids improve their grades at school and their self-confidence.

“Even if a student isn’t going to keep going and get a career going into circus arts, what they are learning here are tons of skills that are going to help them work with any other sport,” she said.

“Being able to use your muscles, being coordinated, all of that is going to help you for a soccer team, for a basketball team, for being a little bit more graceful.

“We’re getting parent feedback that they (the students) are more confident in school and their grades are getting better, and that’s actually because they started circus and they’re feeling more comfortable with who they are.”

ARTS & LIFE

Put a little love in your cart ▶ GRO-CARTS MOBILE GARDEN PROJECT AIMS TO EDUCATE AS WELL AS FEED BOAZ JOSEPH

There’s an almost palpable sense of pride in Tammas Grogan’s voice as she lists the edibles growing in a green canopy inside her blue shopping cart.

There’s a type of Swiss chard called pink flamingo, a half-dozen carrots, their tails poking out near the back, perennial arugula (a salad green), pansies (edible as a salad garnish) and flowering nasturtiums (pretty, and as Grogan describes, peppery, with a likeness to watercress).

“And the (nasturtium) flower and leaf are both edible, so it’s groovy,” adds a perennially smiling Kate Elliott, Grogan’s partner-in-carts.

The “à la cart” display, created by the two SFU urban studies graduate students, is part of a project called the Gro-Carts Mobile Garden, and it’s taking root in Surrey this growing season.

The plan is for 20 carts to be adopted, shared and learned from – specifically for people have limited food security for financial or geographic reasons.

The project, which has already won the pair $3,000 from the grand prize in an SFU Surrey-Central City student engagement competition last fall, is in full force.

In late April, the two women launched the planting and distribution of the project’s platoon of 20 shopping carts at Holland Park.

All of the carts were donated by a company (which wanted to remain anonymous) that was about to replace them.

The carts were in better shape than expected.

“We had arranged with a school to have metalwork students repair them, but they were perfectly good,” says Elliott, a ▶ “Once people learn Burnaby high school they can garden in teacher.

The 20 used in the a cart, they realize project are all black, in they can garden contrast to Grogan’s blue prototype. in any... tiny spot The Abbotsford horin the landscape ticulturist has been using the same cart since that doesn’t have her experiments began something else in it.” while working with the needy at a Mennonite TAMMAS GROGAN church in 2012 – three years before she met Elliott at SFU. Elliott says shopping carts have a poor reputation, and on the street, they are often assumed to be stolen.

“These poor decommissioned carts need some new identities.”

Indeed, six of the Gro-Carts were given names by kids when they were brought to a North Surrey women’s shelter.

Most of other shopping carts have been adopted by individuals or families, for use in townhouses, condos or apartments which don’t have space for gardening. Some have found space on balconies or roofs.

The carts’ grilles provide drainage for the plants, which grow on soil that sits on a thick bed of straw.

For those looking to improvise, straw could exchanged long, dry grass, as long as it’s thick enough to support the soil.

With no possibility of root rot like in closed pots, the three-dimensional shape of the micro-garden allows vegetables such as potatoes or broccoli to grow underneath other plants, at times sprouting sideways through the grilles of the cart.

“You get three or four times the (growing) area than if you just planted the top,” says Grogan.

She adds that slower-growing vegetables such as broccoli can be left growing underneath lighter, leafier, salad greens which can be harvested and re-planted on top.

Grogan says the project is more about learning to grow

Tammas Grogan (left) and Kate Elliott have created the Gro-Carts Mobile Garden project to educate the public about growing food in small places. BOAZ JOSEPH food than the cart itself.

“It’s an educational tool,” she says. “Once people learn they can garden in a cart, they realize they can garden in any little container or pot or planter or hole in the pavement or tiny spot in the landscape that doesn’t have something else in it.”

“If people replaced their lawns with food, it would be an interesting world,” adds Elliott. “We know statistically that for people who have lower incomes, the food that they can afford has less nutrition, so if we (show) that it’s not difficult to grow your own food…”

There was a good response to a the project’s launch at Holland Park in April.

“It’s amazing. People are keen,” says Elliott. “They came and saw the planting and we were quite surprised at the number of people who expressed in interest of having a Gro-Cart if we were to get more donated carts. So we’re always up for more cart donations.”

The public will get their next chance to see the carts at Holland Park in the afternoon of May 15 at Holland Park at the end of the Surrey Earth Walk event.

Healthier lifestyles and high food prices are a couple of factors contributing to the grow-your-own craze. FILE PHOTO Take lettuce for an example. The consumption of romaine types of lettuce has grown because of the popularity of Caesar salads, as have gourmet and mesclun blends because they fit into the category of new foods and flavours I am impressed with the Pan American introductions of the Simply Salad blends of lettuce.

They offer an Alfresco Mix, a Global Gourmet Mix and a City Garden Mix, each one creating a salad blend by itself. These blends are easy to grow in a container, look fabulous and taste divine.

Peppers are another example.

The trend is towards hot peppers that fit cultural cuisines. The innovation of crossover peppers, such as Basket of Fire, Loco and Chenzo, are easy to grow both in containers or as garden varieties that produce early and with a beautiful display of hot peppers that can be harvested over a long period of time. Part of the new focus for bell peppers is for smaller and stuffable varieties.
