Surrey needs light rail first: Watts Jacob Zinn

Now contributor Twitter @jacobzinn

Mayor Dianne Watts is speaking up about the need for more transit in Surrey after Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson called for a new transit line to connect Commercial Drive with UBC. Robertson recently proposed constructing a $2.8-billion subway along the city’s Broadway corridor. However, with such a high cost, Watts is saying light rail would be cheaper – and that Surrey needs it first.

“I think that there are needs across the region, and as mayor of the City of Surrey, I want to make sure that those needs are expressed to both the provincial government and the federal government in terms of the current growth and future growth of a city of half-a-million people,” said Watts, who is also chair of Metro Vancouver’s transportation committee.

While Vancouver has 20 SkyTrain stations for just over 600,000 people, Surrey only has four for a population of about 468,000. Watts stressed the importance of putting more transportation corridors in Surrey as the city’s population

A Surrey family doctor will be carrying the Liberal flag in Green Timbers in the coming provincial election.

Dr. Amrik Tung won the party’s MLA nomination Sunday afternoon, at a meeting attended by roughly 800 voters. He will be squaring off with incumbent NDP MLA Sue Hammell and Green Party candidate Richard Hosein in the May 14 election.

With Tung’s win, the Liberals have selected all nine of their MLA candidates in Surrey and North Delta, as has the NDP. So far the Green Party has four MLA candidates in Surrey and North Delta, and the Conservatives have three.

continues to grow by about 1,000 residents per month.

Watts also mentioned that the City of Surrey has helped to fund other completed and ongoing transit projects in nearby cities such as Richmond and Coquitlam.

“There has been significant expansion throughout the region, whether it’s the West Coast Express, the Evergreen Line, the Canada Line, all of those pieces that we have contributed significantly to,” she said. “When we’re looking at the future growth that’s coming south of the Fraser, it is most definitely our time for that infrastructure.”

Watts said she is a proponent of light rail transit and would like to implement it to and from City Centre along 104th Avenue to Guildford, down King George Boulevard to Newton with rapid bus to White Rock, and along Fraser Highway to Langley.

“It’s important that we have multimodal options,” said Watts. “Having the SkyTrain from our City Centre to other areas in the region is appropriate, but I think moving forward and moving people around the south of the Fraser

region, at-grade rail’s the way to go.”

Patricia MacNeil, manager of communications for TransLink, said the transportation authority has reviewed a range of transit options – including rapid bus, LRT, SkyTrain and combinations of the three – and found they were all capable of meeting needs for Surrey over the next 30 years.

“What needs to take place now is a regional discussion on the right options, on the level of investment, on the timing of implementation, within the context of a regional transportation system and other transportation priorities,” said MacNeil.

Watts said current provincial laws make it difficult to fund and expand transit, and she’s pushing for changes to be made to allow the much-needed upgrades in Surrey.

“Those funding tools that are provincially legislated are inadequate, and so only when that legislation’s changed will we begin to move this region forward,” she said. “It’s very critical that the government’s model and the funding model be changed.”

Man shot in Whalley Sunday night A 32-year-old man was shot in both legs Sunday night in Whalley during what police suspect was a dispute over drugs.

Mounties found the victim hobbling along King George Boulevard and followed the trail of blood to Cedar Gardens Apartments nearby, where they arrested two men.

The shooting happened at about 6:40 p.m. Police said at press time that the victim, of no fixed address, was in stable condition but wasn’t co-operating with investigators. He is known to police for drug and property crimes, an RCMP spokesman said. No charges had been laid at press time.

Port authority reviewing coal concerns Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

With the cities of White Rock, Surrey, New Westminster and the Corporation of Delta having expressed their concerns about a proposed coal transfer facility at the Fraser Docks, the Port Metro Vancouver Authority is now reviewing those concerns before deciding how to move forward with the proposal.

The project would see an increase of coal train traffic through White Rock, Surrey, and Delta, and would be transferred to barges across the Fraser River from New Westminster.

Jim Crandles, director of planning for the port authority, said no decisions are being made until the authority has had time to review and address the concerns.

“It is part of our review process to ensure that we hear from local government about projects that occur in the port,” said Crandles.

“Some are substantive comments that we need the proponent to look at how that affects the proposal they’ve made to the port and how that might update their application.”

Surrey’s Fraser Docks may soon be the site of a controversial coal transfer facility.

Some of the key concerns expressed by the municipalities are whether or not there will be a meaningful public consultation process before a decision is made, the environmental impact of running that much coal through communities and an increase in overall rail traffic.

When asked if there was a timeline for approvals, Crandles said the process would be done when it was done.

“We ensure that when a project is finished its review process and all aspects have been completed, that’s when it’s done,” he said.

“We don’t put a specific timeline on it, obviously we don’t add unnecessary time if the project doesn’t warrant it but we also make sure we have necessary time to do an environmental review.”

Surrey, White Rock

Business groups take collaborative approach The Surrey Board of Trade, Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce and South Surrey/ White Rock Chamber of Commerce have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to support each other on common business goals.

The three groups worked on the MOU over the past 18 months in an effort to support economic development in the region and create a business network throughout Surrey and White Rock, among other reasons, said Anita Huberman, CEO of the SBoT. “It really is meant to bring Surrey’s business community together.”

Cliff Annable of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce noted that while the board and chambers have worked together, the memorandum signifies an ongoing relationship as they speak out on issues affecting the region.

“A collaborative approach to economic development and government advocacy will achieve better results by sharing information and working together,” he said.

“We want to be able to collaboratively work together for the support of business.”

A Cloverdale dad’s lawsuit against another dad following a fight at a pee wee baseball game has been struck down in court.

Benoit Charland tried to sue David Wheeler and the Cloverdale Minor Baseball Association, claiming he had been assaulted, but Justice Jeanne Watchuk found the punch-up had been consensual.

The scrap – punctuated by F-bombs, name-calling, punching and bleeding – happened at a pee wee baseball game at Greenaway Park in Cloverdale on May 16, 2011.

Charland, a 48-year-old father of three, had a son playing in a game that Wheeler’s 14-year-old son was supposed to umpire.

Wheeler’s son was late.

Charland called in a replacement for the teen, and told him to go home once he finally showed up.

Charland thought he had authority to kick Wheeler’s son off the field but didn’t

because he wasn’t an umpire co-ordinator.

Wheeler’s son went home, upset, and told his dad what happened.

Wheeler then went to the ball field to talk with Charland, and they ended up fighting.

Both men accused the other of assault but police concluded the fight had been consensual. Nevertheless, Benoit took Wheeler and the baseball association to court. His claim against the association was dropped before the case made it to trial in B.C. Supreme Court, in New Westminster.

The judge heard from Charland, Wheeler, and several witnesses who had been in the bleachers.

“Mr. Charland’s action in standing up and moving toward Mr. Wheeler, as it created fear, was an assault,” she decided. “Mr. Wheeler responded with a punch which was a battery. I conclude that the proper characterization of the altercation between the two fathers in that it was consensual.”

“The claim of Mr. Charland is dismissed,” Watchuk declared.

Motorcycle slams into train

Berner’s third appeal denied

Three years for pistol incident

A motorcyclist was gravely injured Monday afternoon when his bike crashed into the side of a train at 124th and Scott Road in Whalley.

Surrey RCMP Insp. Garry Begg said the train dragged the man, whose name and age had not been released by press time, after the collision.

It happened shortly after 3 p.m.

Traffic analysts are investigating. The man’s exact condition wasn’t known at press time.

Carol Berner’s appeal of her sentence was dismissed in the B.C. Court of Appeal Thursday. The three-panel judge took just a few minutes to make the decision. No reasons were given at the time but are expected.

Berner was convicted in the 2008 crash that killed fouryear-old Alexa Middelaer and seriously injured her aunt Daphne Johanson.

The latest appeal is Berner’s third attempt at overturning her conviction or getting a reduced sentence.

A man who was wearing a mask when he barged into Surrey’s South Point Pub with a pistol early New Year’s Day, 2012, has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Robbie Lee Morris pleaded guilty to possessing a loaded, restricted gun without a licence. Justice Robert Crawford sentenced him in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

Supreme Court reverses drunk driving dismissal Tom Zytaruk

Now staff Twitter @tomzytaruk

A Supreme Court judge has ordered a new trial in an impaired driving matter, reversing the decision of a Surrey provincial court judge who tossed the case out in 2012 because of court delays.

Graham Edward Kelly, accused of impaired driving, was set to go to trial for one day on Jan. 16, 2012, for a crime alleged to have happened in Delta on Feb. 5, 2010. On the day his trial was to begin, Kelly applied for a judicial stay of proceedings, arguing that his Charter right to be tried within a reasonable time had been infringed. The provincial court judge granted the stay, and the Crown appealed.

Kelly was released on a promise to appear at Surrey provincial court on April 7, 2010, but a charge hadn’t been approved by that date because some supporting documents from police were missing. The charge wasn’t sworn until July 5, and his first court appearance was on Sept. 14, 2010.

Since his arrest, Kelly got married and

became the father of a three-monthold child. Uncertainty about the charge approval caused him considerable stress and anxiety, his lawyer argued.

The provincial court judge noted that when Kelly was arrested, only he was in the picture. But in the time it took the system to bring the matter to trial, the judge noted, Kelly experienced increased stress because his wife and child, who were now also in his life, would be affected by the trial’s outcome.

While finding Kelly had not suffered any actual prejudice, the trial judge nevertheless decided Kelly’s case was “an appropriate case wherein prejudice can be inferred,” and stayed the charge against him, finding the stress and anxiety was “mostly attributable to the delay.”

But Justice Terry Schultes, after hearing the Crown’s appeal in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, found the trial judge had “erred in his reliance of pre-charge matters as part of the process of inferring prejudice” and ordered that a new trial be held.

NDP’s big players offer clues to plan InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

N

ot a day goes by without the B.C. Liberals demanding their NDP counterparts release details of their election platform, only to be met with stony silence from the party that seems to be a government-in-waiting.

NDP leader Adrian Dix says the party will release its fiscal plan in early April, and will announce other various policy positions throughout the election campaign itself.

But an election platform is just one of the ways to gain insight into what an NDP government would bring to the table. Another tool is to look at which individuals may become more powerful than others in that government.

Most of them will be in the provincial cabinet, but others will exist outside government. The biggest holder of power of all is the premier, of course, and if Dix does indeed take that position it will be interesting to see if he consolidates power in that office as his predecessors have done.

In any event, there will be others who will emerge as the ones who have more political influence than others.

So, barring a miracle comeback by the ruling B.C. Liberals, here a partial list of those who will likely play key roles in the next administration: John Horgan. He’s the current NDP house leader (a position he will likely keep) and will undoubtedly become energy minister.

He’s closer to Dix than most (they worked together as senior staff people in the NDP government in the 1990s) and is definitely not part of the environmental wing of the party – which suggests there may be some friction with that group down the road. He’s also fairly volatile and he can lose his temper easier than most – a trait that doesn’t serve cabinet ministers particularly well.

Bruce Ralston. The party’s finance critic will likely become finance minister, and his extremely low-key approach will match what will likely be some unexciting budgets as whoever forms government will have a challenge balancing the books for a few years. Ralston will

spend a lot of time saying “no” to all kinds of spending requests.

Carole James. Dix owes a huge debt of gratitude to the woman he replaced as leader after a caucus revolt forced her to resign. If James had left politics on an understandably bitter note it would have been difficult, if not impossible, for the NDP to become as united as it has. But James, a class act, has stuck around bearing no grudges and will likely become deputy premier with a major cabinet post, probably education or a social services ministry.

Other current NDP MLAs who will wield considerable influence are former cabinet minister Mike Farnworth, caucus chair Shane Simpson and Sue Hammell, who

practically delivered the leadership to Dix through mass membership sign-ups in Surrey.

When it comes to unelected people who will wield some influence over an NDP government, the list includes: Jim Sinclair. As head of the B.C. Federation of Labour, Sinclair will have considerable influence over a party that is closely aligned to organized labour. His predecessor, Ken Georgetti, was a major power broker in the 1990s NDP government and while Sinclair likely won’t enjoy his level of influence, he will still have some (and look for him to push hard for some prounion labour law changes).

Glen Clark. The former premier is, of course, a

mentor of Dix’s. The two worked closely together for years, from Clark’s time in cabinet through much of his time as premier. Clark is now Jimmy Pattison’s right hand man, and will undoubtedly provide Dix some business-friendly advice (as well as tips on how not to repeat the mistakes of the past NDP government) on a regular basis.

Geoff Meggs. The Vancouver city councillor worked with Dix in the Clark government and there’s no doubt Dix would have preferred to see him win the party nomination in Vancouver-Fairview (he lost to George Heyman).

Meggs will be the main back-channel contact on Vancouver city council for

a Dix-led government, but it will be interesting to see if Dix offers Meggs a more formal and senior role in that government.

Moe Sihota. The former cabinet minister is president of the NDP, and was closely associated with Clark (and therefore Dix) while in government. He shares Dix’s view that the NDP needs to focus on winning a second term in government and not just one, and therefore can’t do much that alienates voters.

Even without an election platform released, these aforementioned folks can show you where the NDP is headed if they win in May. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC Keith.Baldrey@globalnews.ca

Archaic pot laws beyond despicable

Adrian Smith, Coquitlam

Time to legalize pot The Editor, Re: “Tiny pot plants cost Surrey man his $440K home,” the Now, March 21.

Justice Paul Pearlmen’s concern for public safety regarding criminal activity related to marijuana grow-ops is valid. But what do you expect when a commodity has an artificially inflated value of $2,000 or more per pound?

If “the state” really has an interest in general deterrence of gang-related activity, then it would consider a legally regulated system similar to alcohol. Alcohol prohibition brought with it high levels of organized crime as well.

There is no sense in allowing marijuana prohibition to continue. It’s a waste of police and judicial resources because it’s not decreasing the demand, nor is it stopping the underground market from supplying it.

Not to mention the danger it brings to our communities.

Why don’t we deal with the root of the problem instead of just incarcerating more people? Legalize it, regulate it, tax it, bring the price down, and eliminate the dangerous unregulated system once and for all. Now that’s sensible.

Eric Wirsching, Delta

House seizure wrong The Editor, Re: “Tiny pot plants cost Surrey man his $440K home,” the Now, March 21.

Civil forfeiture is a slippery slope – give the government an inch and they will take a mile. By the time it is finished, you will get your assets taken for simple offences.

The wrongful confiscation of property is starting already. There is also the matter of innocent people (or even guilty people who had no intention or ability to actually profit) who can’t afford the legal fees to seek the return of their assets.

It will not be long before police seize pedestrians’ shoes for jaywalking. Sounds silly? Just wait –Pandora’s box is open. That pot grower who had his house taken for 80 mini-plants was wronged, the house was not from the result of proceeds of crime, the guy made a mistake and got his punishment from the courts already.

James Redjohn, South Surrey

Bridge solutions The Editor, Re: “Province unveils options for aging Massey Tunnel,” the Now, March 14.

I have been driving trucks in Greater Vancouver for the past 14 years and I believe we should maintain the existing tunnel as it is, and add a tunnel somewhere between 80th Street in Delta and No. 8 or Nelson roads in Richmond.

Plus, we need a bridge between No. 8 Road in Richmond and Boundary Road in Vancouver and Burnaby. It will help to reduce pollution and distance for the commuters and reduce backups at four major crossings (Alex Fraser Bridge, Queensborough Bridge, Knight Street Bridge and George Massey Tunnel).

Sukhdev Sandhar, Surrey

Schools need cash The Editor, Re: “Great schools have more to them than just a score,” the Now, March 14.

I recently read Don McRae’s article concerning “great schools” and how they are not merely determined by FSA scores.

A great school, he says, provides “academics… sports, arts, theatre, and other activities” in a supportive and active school culture.

We are reassured of the abundance of these “great schools” in B.C., yet are encouraged to shop around and interview the staff in order to make better decisions about where to send our children.

This is because not all schools are equal on the elective front – some offer more elective options than others, and the variety of educational choices differs from school to school.

Why the difference? Teachers are not paid to conduct extracurricular activities – these are offered on a volunteer basis, and are not standardized or funded by the government.

In addition, some schools have better resources than others, depending on the school’s area and affluence, since parents often contribute their time by fundraising or donate to the school’s resources and materials.

Our system is underfunded – tax money goes to private schools, creating even greater disparity. Our schools have large classes, too few specialist teachers who support students with needs, and our teachers are not respected enough to be consulted regarding educational curricular planning at the ministry level. Teachers are also the most underpaid in the country, even though we live in the most expensive province.

The minister knows what makes a great school: proper funding for class size, composition, and ratios – he said as much when he was a regular teacher.

Now that we are close to elections, he is just putting up a smokescreen to disguise the fact that this government has done its best to run education to the ground.

Teachers will not rest until these wrongs are righted as the Supreme Court of B.C. has ordered, and until our working conditions (which also make for “great” schools) are improved.

Who knows? Once all this is in place we might not even need continual reporting and testing in our schools. There will be real

assessment and communication. Parents will trust that every child is developing, and learning will no longer be a struggle for all, but a joy. And there will be no need to go shopping for a great school.

Neovi Patsicakis, Surrey

NDP better for families The Editor, There is good reason as to why many eligible female voters will be casting a ballot for the NDP and not for the Liberals in the upcoming election.

As a female voter, I am looking for the party that puts the most important thing to British Columbians first and foremost, and that is our families.

Under the leadership of the Liberals, I have watched the deterioration of our health services and lack of support for our school children. Seniors are waiting far too long to be reunited with their spouses when their health dictates that they need long-term care. Special needs students are not getting the amount of specialized support that they need in order to function and many of our children are arriving at school hungry, without food and not properly attired for our weather.

The reality is that family income has been seriously compromised under the Liberal government. The minimum wage is far too low considering our cost of living and many wage earners at that level are women trying to support their families.

The food bank is still in existence after 30 years in operation because we now have what is called the working poor – the fastest growing group utilizing the food bank are actually wage earners. Why? Because our wages have not kept up with the cost of living. While the government claims to have created jobs, I have only seen good-paying jobs lost and replaced by “the working poor” wage.

This government has squeezed working families to the extent that their quality of life has been compromised while pandering to the business community.

It is time for a government that supports families, that is why I will be voting for the party with the best track record of doing just that, the NDP. Arlene Laing, Surrey

The Editor, Re: “Tiny pot plants cost Surrey man his $440K home,” the Now, March 21.

This is beyond despicable. It has become blatantly obvious that cannabis should be legalized. While parts of the U.S. (like Washington and Colorado) are seeing the light, we continue to live in the dark ages of pointless prohibition.

The B.C. government’s theft of this poor guy’s house for nothing more than a few pot plants is reprehensible and should not be tolerated.

Several years ago, I was a victim of Coquitlam’s so-called Public Safety Inspection Team. They searched my rental property, did not find so much as a marijuana seed or a single leaf, but nevertheless decided it was a grow-op.

While my house was not stolen from me, the power was disconnected, my tenants were forced to move and I was subjected to a draconian series of costly hoops I had to jump through to put the whole nightmare behind me. This whole ordeal is what caused me to become a staunch advocate for an end to the wrong-headed war on weed. I am a supporter of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) and SensibleBC, which seeks to decriminalize cannabis in B.C.

My diagnosis 10 years ago would have been fatal.

Matthew McKinnon, 17, has just recently finished treatment for brain cancer and will be finishing the 2013 Ride to Conquer Cancer exactly one year after having a major surgery to remove a tumour. Four of his five siblings are joining him on the 250-kilometre long, two-day ride from Cloverdale to Seattle.

Ride to Conquer Cancer

Brain cancer survivor gears up for ride donate to team BFF with Carolyn Cooke

Now staff Twitter @carolyncooke1

When Matthew McKinnon finishes the Ride to Conquer Cancer in June, it will be exactly one year since the Surrey teen had surgery to remove a brain tumour.

“My diagnosis 10 years ago would have been terminal,” he said, and that is why he and the four of his five siblings who

are riding with him are earmarking their fundraising efforts for brain cancer research.

“My diagnosis now is 95 per cent chance of success so that just shows you what the money going toward the research really does do,” he added.

In May last year, Matthew said he first had headaches, then vision problems and nausea. Because he was involved in a lot of sports, it was first thought to be a concussion. After a partial MRI scan, he was misdiagnosed with a sinus infection, and when the medication he was given failed to help, another scan was done and revealed the tumour.

He was rushed to B.C. Children’s Hospital by ambulance, which he described as “kind of cool.” There he had an immediate surgery for a biopsy and to relieve the pressure the tumour was putting on a brain vessel and

then, on June 16, Matthew had the eighthour major surgery to remove the cancerous growth, which was between his optic nerves.

It was while he was still in ICU that his sister Claire mentioned the Ride to Conquer Cancer, in which two of her friends were riding with wristbands bearing his name.

She asked if he would want to take part himself the next year. He said yes.

“I was still on morphine of course so I wasn’t thinking of a 250-kilometre bike ride,” he said with a laugh. “I was just thinking it would be a fun thing to do.”

All joking aside, his mom said Matthew’s excellent physical condition helped, as did his positive, humorous outlook on life.

“He’s been a great support for the rest of his family,” said Doreen McKinnon, as well as being a positive role model at his school, Holy Cross.

Good Th ings Happen at Ricky 's!

With the surgery a success and follow-up treatments behind him, Matthew, now 17, and his siblings – Hannah, 20, Peter, 22, Claire, 24, and Emily, 26 – are training for the two-day ride, from Cloverdale to Seattle on June 15 and 16.

Doreen and Dave McKinnon, and their son-in-law Mat Huff are also volunteering.

The group joined Team BFF – Team Bike for Friends and Families – whose members honoured Matthew in 2012. While they have all met their fundraising goals, they encourage support for other members of Team BFF who are still working toward their $2,500 minimum.

COMMUNITY Easy Does It Club

Addicts find help, hope at busy meeting place in Newton Tom Zillich

Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

A

s a meeting place, a humble beige/ blue building in the heart of Newton may be busiest in all of Surrey.

The second-floor door of Easy Does It Club swings open for more than 30 meetings a week, day and night, offering hope to those addicted to a variety of vices – alcohol, heroin, cocaine, meth, gambling, overeating and more. An estimated 45,000 visits are made to the building each year.

Traffic speeds by attendees who gather between 12-step meetings on a corner sidewalk, at King George Boulevard and 73rd Avenue, or in a more secluded outdoor smoking area, behind a fence.

“A lot of people don’t know what this place is, or what goes on here,” said Gary T. Robinson during an open house at the clubhouse last Thursday. “It’s not a crack shack, as some people believe, or a bar or anything like that. There’s no drugs, no alcohol, just help for people who need it.”

Robinson, a former Surrey city councillor and now executive director of Realistic Success Recovery Society, attended meetings at the club during his battle with cocaine addiction. He now helps run the place.

“I went to the bottom, lived in the bush,” Robinson said. “I came to meetings right here, seven years ago. I’ve been on the executive twice and I work hard to support

it and get others to support it, too. This place, the programs here, saved my life.”

The site has been home to Easy Does It Club for seven years; prior to that, the society that operates the facility held its meetings at a number of other places in Surrey since 1978.

This year, a provincial lottery grant evaporated, meaning tight times at the club.

To help pay rent – $3,400 a month plus utilities, according to club vice-president Michael Dillon – coffee and snacks are sold at a concession stand. A sign on a wall encourages meeting attendees to buy in-house, not from Tim Hortons or any other takeout place. Such “outside” food and drinks are forbidden inside the building.

“We have to sell a lot of coffee to keep the place running,” said Dillon. “Rent is a little high here, but it’s a good location near the (four Trilogy) recovery houses (operated by Realistic Success Recovery Society). Those are the people we help.”

About 80 per cent of the people who come to Easy Does It Club have just pocket change, he said.

“Some of the people are able to throw something into the basket to help cover the rent, but many are able to only put in sweat equity – washing, cleaning, volunteering behind the counter to fill shifts,” added Dillon, who co-ordinates the schedule for two dozen volunteers. “This week, I had three people cancel on me, so we scramble.

I’m proud of the volunteers we have here

SOUNDS TO MAKE YOU

SMILE

We have to sell a lot of coffee to keep the place running. now. They shop for groceries, keep it neat and clean, do maintenance. A building like this needs a lot of helping hands, and a lot of people step up to volunteer.”

Dillon, 55, an out-of-work warehouseman still working to kick his addictions to crack cocaine and alcohol, has been attending meetings at the club since 2007.

“I have three years of sobriety – I’m not cured, but I’m sober today,” he said. “It’s been an interesting experience that affected me mentally, physically, socially – but I’m slowly getting everything back.”

The club’s current president is Dave Dickerson, who started “hanging out here” in 2006, at a time when he wasn’t yet finished with booze. Three years later, he was in one of the Realistic Success houses.

“It was mandatory that we come here – so I came and came and came,” Dickerson said.

“I was here for one-hour meetings twice a day, sometimes three times, because I wanted to stay sober. I also came here to not be alone, because alcohol made me want to be alone, at home. Initially, I wanted to be social with alcohol, but that changed over the years – 35 years, for me.”

Dickerson, who now lives in White Rock, pegs his sobriety anniversary date as Dec. 3, 2009. “It’s still a tough battle, and every now and then I think about having a drink,” he said. “I keep going, you know, and it’s a great life for me.”

At Thursday’s open house, SurreyNewton MLA Harry Bains spoke briefly to a small group of club members.

“This is an important place for people who have gotten off track, for whatever reason, and want to again be productive members of society,” Bains told the Now. As for government funding, Bains added: “We have to rearrange priorities with funding and redirect it to more important places, and this place could be one of them.”

Robinson is fortunate to have his wife, Susan Sanderson, the club’s recording secretary, remain by his side through some turbulent years.

“I was on the opposite side of his journey,” she said. “We were separated for eight years, and at one point I said yes, I’d help him find a recovery house. After that experience, Gary said that in order for him to stay clean and sober, he needed to remain in this (recovery) industry. We did that together, and it led us to reconciliation. It’s a miracle, really, that even in his addiction he was able to keep the kind of relationship with me where I wanted to be friends with him, at least, and that he hadn’t destroyed everything we had together.”

‘Tire Round-up’ events collect old rubber April 6 Tire Stewardship BC, in partnership with Kal Tire, is holding a Tire Round-up in Surrey and Langley on April 6.

People are encouraged to get a head start on spring cleaning and bring in all their old tires – on or off the rim – to one of the three locations.

“This is the first time we’ve partnered to host only three Round-Ups in the same day, but also on the Lower Mainland,” said Mike Hennessy, TSBC executive director. “At each location visitors can enjoy a charity barbecue and other festivities, as well as visit in-store, and most importantly, drop off their old tires so they don’t end up in the landfill.”

The rubber from recycled tires is used as playground surfacing, coloured landscaping mulch, athletic tracks, garden stones, flooring and other uses.

On Saturday, April 6 tires can be dropped off at Kal Tire locations at 20520 Langley Bypass, Langley, as well as at 16139 Fraser Hwy. and 5621 180th St. in Surrey.

Students help non-profits Envision Financial and Douglas College are once again teaming up for the Community Capacity Building program, in which students work with non-profits to help them overcome some of their biggest challenges.

This year the Sources Rent Bank and SOS Children’s Village B.C. are the Surrey recipients.

“This program has immense value for the work we do with

children, youth and young adults in the community,” said Leah Dullum of SOS Children’s Village B.C. “Non-profits work with limited resources and don’t always have the ability to develop new marketing strategies or do market research.”

The Community Capacity Building program is designed to expose students to the non-profit sector and provide reallife learning challenges. In turn, the organizations benefit from academic research and program development that meets their immediate needs.

$936K for road safety ICBC invested $936,000 in 28 road safety projects in Surrey, Delta and White Rock in 2012.

That includes improving traffic signal timings at each intersection along 104th Avenue between 156th and 144th streets, as well as other major routes; installing seven new left-turn signals at lights; installing 106 visual countdown timers at intersections; widening the shoulders and corners at Highway 15 and 16th Avenue, upgrading two-way stops to full traffic signals; improved street lighting; and adding marked crosswalks, among other improvements.

The most recent evaluation of ICBC’s safer roads program shows that for every dollar invested, ICBC and its customers see a five-fold return. The evaluation found that two years after a project’s implementation, there is, on average, a 20-per-cent reduction in severe crashes and a 12per-cent reduction in property-damage crashes.

thought

Food’s hidden ingredients W More recently, U.K. officials discovered the popular Findus beef lasagna contained as much as 100 per cent horse meat.

While ear tags can be used to track an animal from the farm to slaughterhouse, those systems can also be subverted, sending a ripple effect through the entire global food economy, according to Low. “These external tags can be removed and changed easily,” says Low. “This is what happened in the recent horse meat scandal, as the current information indicates that the meat was produced in Romania and was clearly labeled as horse meat. It was then shipped to France where it miraculously changed species.”

With just a few molecules, Low believes a new system of traceability could link the food on your fork to its farm or factory of origin with complete accuracy.

Called an internal oligomolecular tag, a small portion of molecules would be added to food at some stage of the food chain, giving the food a distinct signature, which could be tested at any stage to indicate validity.

The tag, which is safe and stable, according to Low, would show the geographical origin of the food.

If the concentration of the tag was altered, an examiner might determine the product had been debased, according to Low. Low is currently hoping to produce the tag in commercial quantities and conduct pilot studies, but a funding shortfall has waylaid those plans.

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada funded Low’s project for 18 months, but soon after Low and his colleague Robert Hanner were approved for another three years of research the federal government shifted course.

“The federal government decided in late 2010 that food would no longer be a strategically funded research area,” Low writes. “Our project has been in limbo for the past two years as I look for funding.”

While Canada has so far avoided high profile cases of food fraud, other countries have not been so fortunate.

In an apparent attempt to simulate a highprotein content in several milk products, a manufacturer in China added the nitrogen-rich chemical melamine to its milk in 2008.

Approximately 300,000 children suffered kidney damage and other ailments and six babies died, according to a New York Times article.

After spending six years working in B.C. abattoirs (slaughterhouses) and recently joining non-profit organization Food Secure Canada, Abra Brynne says Canadians can be fairly certain the meat we’re eating is genuine.

“My experience with a lot of the abattoirs, is yes, the consumer could have been very confident,” says Brynne. “My experience with provincially inspected plants is that they, for the most part, only have access to shorter supply chain opportunities.”

While Canada has legislated truth in labeling laws, Brynne says the competition of the marketplace can be a concern.

“I know from some of the smaller suppliers, in order to get the price points that they need in order to get into grocery stores, they have to… shift their ingredients if something

becomes out of reach in terms of the price point,” she says.

Olive oil and fresh fish are two of the likeliest offenders, according to some reports.

In his book, Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, author Tom Mueller delves into what he describes as a largely unregulated and frequently fraudulent extra-virgin olive oil market.

Rather than using olive pulp, many manufacturers dose sunflower or canola seeds with chlorophyll and pass off the fruits of their deception as extra-virgin olive oil, according to Mueller.

In another example, researchers from Columbia University found some form of fraud in 19 out of 31 sushi restaurants they tested in New York and Denver. In nine restaurants, genetic tests revealed the sushi in question to be endangered southern bluefin tuna.

In other cases albacore tuna was discovered to be escolar, which the team described as a “health hazard” in their report.

Many concerns about food fraud can be assuaged by buying organic, according to Brynne.

“The traceability is an inherent part of the certification system,” she says. “If you’re a processor getting organic certification, you have to provide information on every single ingredient that you use.”

hile we might have grown accustomed to schemes, scams, deceptions, evasions and omissions, the notion that the food on our plate is lying to us remains hard to swallow.

Following recent revelations regarding equine lasagna in the United Kingdom, many consumers are becoming more concerned about the deliberate mislabeling of food.

Approximately five to 10 per cent of food sold in Canada may contain some type of discrepancy between the list of ingredients and the goods inside the package, according to researcher and University of Saskatchewan professor Kevin Low. With a background in chemistry, Low has been fascinated with food fraud since pioneering a system to detect carbohydratebased sweeteners in “pure” orange juice 25 years ago.

“It is like being a detective and finding out who did the dirty deed and why,” he writes in an email.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency receives about 40 complaints a year related to food fraud, according to media relations coordinator Suzi Beck.

While the problem does not seem to be increasing, consumers are becoming increasingly vigilant when it comes to truth in labeling, according to Low. Manufacturers of vanilla, honey, maple syrup, and coffee have all substituted inferior ingredients in the last 20 years, says Low.

COMMUNITY North America-wide campaign

‘Happiness ambassadors’ sign up for roaming event Tom Zillich

Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

An intersection on the Delta-Surrey border was sprinkled with a bit of happiness on a recent Friday afternoon.

People held signs with positive messages that are making their way around North America in a communityminded campaign that started last May in Anacortes, Wash.

With some members wearing bright yellow shirts, a local group of “happiness ambassadors” held a couple dozen signs – saying “Free hugs,”“You have enough,” “You are a good person” and more – during

the afternoon rush of March 8 at the corner of 88th Avenue and 120th Street.

The initiative is designed to offer warm thoughts to those not expecting it.

“People loved it!” Rhonda Krushel, organizer of the local event, told the Now. “The people who held the signs and cheered were all so thankful to be a part of it, and we received much encouragement from the public.”

The signs have travelled throughout B.C. and across the U.S., Krushel added. After the event on Scott Road, the signs were to be sent to Wanatchee, Wash. Campaign details are online at happinesssprinklingproject.org.

“Happiness Ambassadors” wave signs on 120th Street at event on March 8.

A LONG, SIT-DOWN MEAL: Two or three courses is fine, but if guests have to sit through a never-ending parade of courses, that limits their ability to mingle and have a good time.

ANYTHING TOO ELABORATE: The faster servers can get food out to guests, the better. If they have to sit there piping mashed potato roses on dishes or assemble intricate canapes, the delay might not be worth the presentation. And remember, the more bells and whistles, the higher the price tag.

FAST FOOD: This is your wedding, and you want the food to fit with the scale of the day. A formal wedding generally includes a formal meal. Although it may be alright to include some fast food inspired dishes at the cocktail buffet, steer clear of burgers and fries for the main meal.

THEMED FOOD: Don’t dye that baked potato purple because you want the wedding to be a plum-coloured affair. Also, it’s best to avoid themed food, unless it is part of a cultural wedding or can be pulled off with class. It’s much easier to pass off crepes and croissants for a Parisian wedding than giant turkey legs and tankards of ale for a Renaissance-themed one.

Couples often fret over what to serve their guests at the reception, and rightfully so.

Reception costs can comprise a majority of the wedding-day budget. When spending $100 or more per guest, you want to ensure you’re getting what you paid for and that guests enjoy what they’re eating. Some foods to avoid serving your wedding guests: EXOTIC CUISINE: You may be a risk taker when it comes to cuisine, but others may not share your zeal for exotic foods.

Now is not the time to introduce guests to the wild and wacky. If you’ve seen an exotic dish on the Food Network or the Travel Channel, give it a try another time.

ANYTHING ON FIRE: Why risk an accident for a spectacle? Baked alaska, cherries jubilee, apples flambe – these are foods that might provide a show, but the cost of that show may not be worth it in the end.

RAW FOOD: Clams on the halfshell or sushi-grade tuna may seem like good ideas, but it is hard to ensure quality when feeding 200 people at one time. Foods that require special refrigeration or immediate service for freshness are best avoided. Don’t risk food poisoning on a room full of people unless you want your wedding to be remembered for stomach cramps.

In a consumer proposal, there is no interest on the debt to be repaid, which is normally in the range of 30 to 50 per cent of the total, paid out monthly for up to five years.

“It’s a remedy that’s out there that people are entitled to use,” said Mantin. “The challenge is they just don’t seem to know about it.”

Among the misconceptions about Canadian consumer proposals are that taxes cannot be included and that homeowners will automatically lose their house. That may be true in the States, said Mantin, but not in Canada.

While looming tax deadlines may irk most Canadians, it’s outright anxietyproducing for those who owe the government a sizeable chunk of change and can’t pay up.

What few of these people know is that they have more options to deal with overwhelming debt than just filing for bankruptcy. This is good news because escalating tax debt is a problem that has been on the rise in Surrey and Langley, according to Blair Mantin.

He is a trustee with Sands and Associates, which has an office in Surrey, and he said he has been seeing quite an increase in people from south of the Fraser over their heads in debt to Canada By doing a proposal, you’re getting Revenue Agency.

“The main reason being that by doing “I’m seeing a lot of $40,000 to $50,000 tax a proposal, you’re getting a better rate of bills,” said Mantin, adding that in Canada, recovery on your debts than if you’d filed for tax debt is essentially considered the same as bankruptcy. other classes of debt.

Eagles in driver’s seat as rivalry heats up view photo gallery with Michael Booth

Well that didn’t take long.

Following a six-year respite, the Surrey Eagles and Chilliwack Chiefs have wasted little time in cranking up the heat in their B.C. Hockey League rivalry. The two old foes put their hostility for each other on hold for five years while the Western Hockey League made a pit stop in the Fraser Valley and now, after the Chiefs spent a year in Interior division purgatory in 2011-12, the two rivals are picking things up where they left off.

After battling each other for Mainland division supremacy all season, the two clubs are at it again, this time in a best-of-five series in the second round of the BCHL playoffs.

Surrey used home ice to its full advantage in winning the first two games of the series at South Surrey Arena last weekend. Surrey blanked the Chiefs 4-0 on Friday night and then outlasted their Valley rivals 5-4 Saturday.

It didn’t take long for the animosity to build as rough play prompted Eagles coach Matt Erhart to bench offensive stars Adam Tambellini and Brady Shaw for the late stages of Friday’s win.

Saturday’s game wasn’t nearly as thuggish, but by the third period the chippiness rose to the surface as both teams looked for any edge they could.

Surrey Eagles forward Trevor Cameron (21) tries to jam the puck past Chilliwack Chiefs goaltender Mitch Gillam during Game 2 action of their BCHL playoff series Saturday night at South Surrey Arena. Cameron beat Gillam three times in the game to lead Surrey to a 5-4 win. (Photo: GARRETT JAMES) “It’s a really good rivalry and they’re a very physical team,” said Eagles forward Trevor Cameron.

“They like to be chippy to try and get us to take bad penalties, but we didn’t let it get to us. We didn’t back down from them at all and matched their intensity all game.”

Cameron came through with one of his best games in two years of wearing an Eagles uniform.

After missing on an early firstperiod breakaway, the veteran

forward scored the first three goals for Surrey — his first BCHL hat trick — and earned first star honours for the game.

“I have some good linemates and everybody worked hard,” Cameron said modestly. “I was fortunate tonight to be on the end of the pucks that went into the net. I got a new stick today and I was just lucky tonight.”

Erhart said Cameron’s performance did not surprise him.

“He’s a playoff kind of player,”

he said. “When we win a game 7-2 he might not be on the score sheet with a point, but in a 2-1 road win he can usually be found on a score sheet.

“He’s a 20-year-old who’s been through a lot and knows the ropes.

The greasy kind of hockey that’s played in the playoffs is where he excels.”

The Eagles trailed 3-2 after two periods but opened the final frame with three unanswered goals, the last of which was a highlight

reel two-on-one breakaway with Tambellini setting the table for Michael Stenerson’s eventual game winner.

Chilliwack cut the gap to a single goal with less than two minutes remaining, but their best shot at the equalizer clanged harmlessly off the goal post.

Nicolas Pierog also scored for Surrey.

The two teams kicked off the series on Friday night, but only one side was ready to play. Shaw opened the scoring 46 seconds after the opening face off and the Eagles pounded home three more goals before the first intermission to effectively put the game out of reach.

“When you get a goal in the first minute of the game it’s huge,” Erhart said. “I think we might have caught them off-guard since they only had one day off between series. They might have been a bit shell-shocked and we were able to take advantage of it. We got a 4-0 lead and held on to it. We knew they would be way better on Saturday and they were. It was a much tighter game.”

Demico Hannoun scored two goals for Surrey while Cameron struck for another.

Eagles goalie Michael Santaguida turned aside 35 shots to earn the shutout and secure first star honours.

The series resumed Monday night in Chilliwack with Game 4, if necessary, slated for tonight. If needed, Game 5 of the series will be back at South Surrey Arena Wednesday night.

Golf report

You wonder when Mike Weir walked off the course after 11 holes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Saturday if he did so to give his sore ribs more time to heal for the Masters. It’s the 10th anniversary of Weir’s victory at Augusta and, if the only Canadian ever to wear golf ’s green jacket is unable to play in two weeks, it’s almost guaranteed to be the first Masters without Canadian colours since 1999.

That year, Weir burst into the PGA winner’s circle at the Air Canada Championship and the next spring he parlayed it into ending a six-year Masters drought for Canada. Dick Zokol, who missed the cut in his only Masters (1993), was the lone Canadian “Master” of that decade.

Weir has played in 13 straight — is anybody superstitious? — more appearances than any countryman and remains Canada’s face of pro golf.

Reluctantly, he been passing that torch for three years but the latest candidates to take it, Brad Fritsch or Graham DeLaet, will need to win this week or next week in Texas to carry the Masters flag if Weir can’t. At Arnie’s place, Fritsch’s opening-round 68 kept him in contention until the weekend and DeLaet didn’t make the top 50.

Weir’s decision is likely to be last-minute and it sounds like he’ll skip the Houston Open this week — reports on his website say he “had been scheduled” to play.

Incidentally, only two golfers who won Bay Hill won the Masters the same year: Tiger Woods (twice) and Fred Couples.

Delta Heat ’97 pitcher Jesse Goddard (right) watches a student show off her new skills at a special clinic last week. Goddard and her teammates used some of their time during the spring school break to introduce kids in Grades 4 to 7 to the game of softball through a series of camps at Newton elementary schools.

************************************************** A rung down golf ’s ladder, Adam Hadwin’s inconsistent year continued. His second-round 67 took him to one under, not good enough to offset Thursday’s 74 and Hadwin missed the cut by one. ************************************************** B.C.’s six golfers for this summer’s Canada Games are official and Coach Robert Ratcliffe says it’s “an incredibly strong team.”

Reigning Canadian Juvenile Boys champion Trevor Yu (he shot 64 to win it!) of Vancouver and West Vancouver’s Alix Kong join four Team Canada Development Squad golfers on the team: Kevin Kwon (Maple Ridge), Mark Valliere (Courtenay), Naomi Ko (Victoria) and Taylor Kim (Surrey).

The 2013 Games are Quebec, and they will preview Sherbrooke’s Milby Golf Club in late April at a preGames training camp. ************************************************** The first women’s major, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, is in the California desert this week and it would be a good time for the LPGA to correct a small oversight.

On the LPGA website, the list of golfers from Canada includes everybody from Jocelyne Bourassa to Dawn Coe-Jones to Lorie Kane to Stephanie Sherlock, who was the top Canadian on Sunday at the Kia Classic, in 49th place. It includes everybody, that is…but Sandra Post, who may have been the best of them all.

The timing to fix it is perfect. Forty-five years ago, Post won this tournament (then called the Dinah Shore) over Kathy Whitworth. She was the first nonAmerican to win on the LPGA Tour — how times have changed — and became 1968 Rookie-of-the-Year.

How could they forget her?

Now contributor Twitter @jacobzinn

Mayor Dianne Watts is speaking up about the need for more transit in Surrey after Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson called for a new transit line to connect Commercial Drive with UBC. Robertson recently proposed constructing a $2.8-billion subway along the city’s Broadway corridor. However, with such a high cost, Watts is saying light rail would be cheaper – and that Surrey needs it first.

“I think that there are needs across the region, and as mayor of the City of Surrey, I want to make sure that those needs are expressed to both the provincial government and the federal government in terms of the current growth and future growth of a city of half-a-million people,” said Watts, who is also chair of Metro Vancouver’s transportation committee.

While Vancouver has 20 SkyTrain stations for just over 600,000 people, Surrey only has four for a population of about 468,000. Watts stressed the importance of putting more transportation corridors in Surrey as the city’s population

A Surrey family doctor will be carrying the Liberal flag in Green Timbers in the coming provincial election.

Dr. Amrik Tung won the party’s MLA nomination Sunday afternoon, at a meeting attended by roughly 800 voters. He will be squaring off with incumbent NDP MLA Sue Hammell and Green Party candidate Richard Hosein in the May 14 election.

With Tung’s win, the Liberals have selected all nine of their MLA candidates in Surrey and North Delta, as has the NDP. So far the Green Party has four MLA candidates in Surrey and North Delta, and the Conservatives have three.

continues to grow by about 1,000 residents per month.

Watts also mentioned that the City of Surrey has helped to fund other completed and ongoing transit projects in nearby cities such as Richmond and Coquitlam.

“There has been significant expansion throughout the region, whether it’s the West Coast Express, the Evergreen Line, the Canada Line, all of those pieces that we have contributed significantly to,” she said. “When we’re looking at the future growth that’s coming south of the Fraser, it is most definitely our time for that infrastructure.”

Watts said she is a proponent of light rail transit and would like to implement it to and from City Centre along 104th Avenue to Guildford, down King George Boulevard to Newton with rapid bus to White Rock, and along Fraser Highway to Langley.

“It’s important that we have multimodal options,” said Watts. “Having the SkyTrain from our City Centre to other areas in the region is appropriate, but I think moving forward and moving people around the south of the Fraser

region, at-grade rail’s the way to go.”

Patricia MacNeil, manager of communications for TransLink, said the transportation authority has reviewed a range of transit options – including rapid bus, LRT, SkyTrain and combinations of the three – and found they were all capable of meeting needs for Surrey over the next 30 years.

“What needs to take place now is a regional discussion on the right options, on the level of investment, on the timing of implementation, within the context of a regional transportation system and other transportation priorities,” said MacNeil.

Watts said current provincial laws make it difficult to fund and expand transit, and she’s pushing for changes to be made to allow the much-needed upgrades in Surrey.

“Those funding tools that are provincially legislated are inadequate, and so only when that legislation’s changed will we begin to move this region forward,” she said. “It’s very critical that the government’s model and the funding model be changed.”

Man shot in Whalley Sunday night A 32-year-old man was shot in both legs Sunday night in Whalley during what police suspect was a dispute over drugs.

Mounties found the victim hobbling along King George Boulevard and followed the trail of blood to Cedar Gardens Apartments nearby, where they arrested two men.

The shooting happened at about 6:40 p.m. Police said at press time that the victim, of no fixed address, was in stable condition but wasn’t co-operating with investigators. He is known to police for drug and property crimes, an RCMP spokesman said. No charges had been laid at press time.

Port authority reviewing coal concerns Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

With the cities of White Rock, Surrey, New Westminster and the Corporation of Delta having expressed their concerns about a proposed coal transfer facility at the Fraser Docks, the Port Metro Vancouver Authority is now reviewing those concerns before deciding how to move forward with the proposal.

The project would see an increase of coal train traffic through White Rock, Surrey, and Delta, and would be transferred to barges across the Fraser River from New Westminster.

Jim Crandles, director of planning for the port authority, said no decisions are being made until the authority has had time to review and address the concerns.

“It is part of our review process to ensure that we hear from local government about projects that occur in the port,” said Crandles.

“Some are substantive comments that we need the proponent to look at how that affects the proposal they’ve made to the port and how that might update their application.”

Surrey’s Fraser Docks may soon be the site of a controversial coal transfer facility.

Some of the key concerns expressed by the municipalities are whether or not there will be a meaningful public consultation process before a decision is made, the environmental impact of running that much coal through communities and an increase in overall rail traffic.

When asked if there was a timeline for approvals, Crandles said the process would be done when it was done.

“We ensure that when a project is finished its review process and all aspects have been completed, that’s when it’s done,” he said.

“We don’t put a specific timeline on it, obviously we don’t add unnecessary time if the project doesn’t warrant it but we also make sure we have necessary time to do an environmental review.”

Surrey, White Rock

Business groups take collaborative approach The Surrey Board of Trade, Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce and South Surrey/ White Rock Chamber of Commerce have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to support each other on common business goals.

The three groups worked on the MOU over the past 18 months in an effort to support economic development in the region and create a business network throughout Surrey and White Rock, among other reasons, said Anita Huberman, CEO of the SBoT. “It really is meant to bring Surrey’s business community together.”

Cliff Annable of the South Surrey & White Rock Chamber of Commerce noted that while the board and chambers have worked together, the memorandum signifies an ongoing relationship as they speak out on issues affecting the region.

“A collaborative approach to economic development and government advocacy will achieve better results by sharing information and working together,” he said.

“We want to be able to collaboratively work together for the support of business.”

A Cloverdale dad’s lawsuit against another dad following a fight at a pee wee baseball game has been struck down in court.

Benoit Charland tried to sue David Wheeler and the Cloverdale Minor Baseball Association, claiming he had been assaulted, but Justice Jeanne Watchuk found the punch-up had been consensual.

The scrap – punctuated by F-bombs, name-calling, punching and bleeding – happened at a pee wee baseball game at Greenaway Park in Cloverdale on May 16, 2011.

Charland, a 48-year-old father of three, had a son playing in a game that Wheeler’s 14-year-old son was supposed to umpire.

Wheeler’s son was late.

Charland called in a replacement for the teen, and told him to go home once he finally showed up.

Charland thought he had authority to kick Wheeler’s son off the field but didn’t

because he wasn’t an umpire co-ordinator.

Wheeler’s son went home, upset, and told his dad what happened.

Wheeler then went to the ball field to talk with Charland, and they ended up fighting.

Both men accused the other of assault but police concluded the fight had been consensual. Nevertheless, Benoit took Wheeler and the baseball association to court. His claim against the association was dropped before the case made it to trial in B.C. Supreme Court, in New Westminster.

The judge heard from Charland, Wheeler, and several witnesses who had been in the bleachers.

“Mr. Charland’s action in standing up and moving toward Mr. Wheeler, as it created fear, was an assault,” she decided. “Mr. Wheeler responded with a punch which was a battery. I conclude that the proper characterization of the altercation between the two fathers in that it was consensual.”

“The claim of Mr. Charland is dismissed,” Watchuk declared.

Motorcycle slams into train

Berner’s third appeal denied

Three years for pistol incident

A motorcyclist was gravely injured Monday afternoon when his bike crashed into the side of a train at 124th and Scott Road in Whalley.

Surrey RCMP Insp. Garry Begg said the train dragged the man, whose name and age had not been released by press time, after the collision.

It happened shortly after 3 p.m.

Traffic analysts are investigating. The man’s exact condition wasn’t known at press time.

Carol Berner’s appeal of her sentence was dismissed in the B.C. Court of Appeal Thursday. The three-panel judge took just a few minutes to make the decision. No reasons were given at the time but are expected.

Berner was convicted in the 2008 crash that killed fouryear-old Alexa Middelaer and seriously injured her aunt Daphne Johanson.

The latest appeal is Berner’s third attempt at overturning her conviction or getting a reduced sentence.

A man who was wearing a mask when he barged into Surrey’s South Point Pub with a pistol early New Year’s Day, 2012, has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Robbie Lee Morris pleaded guilty to possessing a loaded, restricted gun without a licence. Justice Robert Crawford sentenced him in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster.

City looks at charging fee for secondary suites Christopher Poon

Now staff Twitter @questionchris

White Rock council was expected to consider Monday night implementing a secondary suite fee that would see homeowners with renters paying an additional $250 a year.

The proposed bylaw is similar to that of the City of Surrey. However, secondary suite owners in Surrey are subject to higher fees than what’s proposed in White Rock, with metered customers paying $536 plus water and non-metered owners paying $1,288.

White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said the proposed fee is simply a way for the city to ensure that its services are being adequately paid for.

“People who have secondary suites essentially have an apartment in their own home and it seems reasonable that, given the people who are living in those suites use the same services as everyone else, they should pay a fair share of it, so that’s an attempt to pay that inequity,” he said.

When asked about the estimated number

of secondary suite residences in White Rock, Baldwin said he didn’t have an exact number but estimated that in a singlefamily area of about 3,500 homes, about 1,000 would have them.

Coun. Alan Campbell said $250 is a reasonable amount for people to pay.

“When you’re renting a suite, it costs more for our utilities,” he said. “So we’re asking for $250 a year to help with the additional use of those utilities.”

Finally, Baldwin said he doesn’t think residents will object to the fee, seeing as it’s aimed at making things more equitable.

“The secondary suite is an income for the home owner, a lot of people call them ‘mortgage helpers’ and it seems like the reasonable thing to do if people are going to be using the services we have, they should pay for them,” he said.

Council was expected to vote on first, second and third readings of the secondary suite bylaw at Monday’s council meeting.

B.C. politics

NDP’s big players offer clues to plan InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

N

ot a day goes by without the B.C. Liberals demanding their NDP counterparts release details of their election platform, only to be met with stony silence from the party that seems to be a government-in-waiting.

NDP leader Adrian Dix says the party will release its fiscal plan in early April, and will announce other various policy positions throughout the election campaign itself.

But an election platform is just one of the ways to gain insight into what an NDP government would bring to the table. Another tool is to look at which individuals may become more powerful than others in that government.

Most of them will be in the provincial cabinet, but others will exist outside government. The biggest holder of power of all is the premier, of course, and if Dix does indeed take that position it will be interesting to see if he consolidates power in that office as his predecessors have done.

In any event, there will be others who will emerge as the ones who have more political influence than others.

So, barring a miracle comeback by the ruling B.C. Liberals, here a partial list of those who will likely play key roles in the next administration: John Horgan. He’s the current NDP house leader (a position he will likely keep) and will undoubtedly become energy minister.

He’s closer to Dix than most (they worked together as senior staff people in the NDP government in the 1990s) and is definitely not part of the environmental wing of the party – which suggests there may be some friction with that group down the road. He’s also fairly volatile and he can lose his temper easier than most – a trait that doesn’t serve cabinet ministers particularly well.

Bruce Ralston. The party’s finance critic will likely become finance minister, and his extremely low-key approach will match what will likely be some unexciting budgets as whoever forms government will have a challenge balancing the books for a few years. Ralston will

spend a lot of time saying “no” to all kinds of spending requests.

Carole James. Dix owes a huge debt of gratitude to the woman he replaced as leader after a caucus revolt forced her to resign. If James had left politics on an understandably bitter note it would have been difficult, if not impossible, for the NDP to become as united as it has. But James, a class act, has stuck around bearing no grudges and will likely become deputy premier with a major cabinet post, probably education or a social services ministry.

Other current NDP MLAs who will wield considerable influence are former cabinet minister Mike Farnworth, caucus chair Shane Simpson and Sue Hammell, who

practically delivered the leadership to Dix through mass membership sign-ups in Surrey.

When it comes to unelected people who will wield some influence over an NDP government, the list includes: Jim Sinclair. As head of the B.C. Federation of Labour, Sinclair will have considerable influence over a party that is closely aligned to organized labour. His predecessor, Ken Georgetti, was a major power broker in the 1990s NDP government and while Sinclair likely won’t enjoy his level of influence, he will still have some (and look for him to push hard for some prounion labour law changes).

Glen Clark. The former premier is, of course, a

mentor of Dix’s. The two worked closely together for years, from Clark’s time in cabinet through much of his time as premier. Clark is now Jimmy Pattison’s right hand man, and will undoubtedly provide Dix some business-friendly advice (as well as tips on how not to repeat the mistakes of the past NDP government) on a regular basis.

Geoff Meggs. The Vancouver city councillor worked with Dix in the Clark government and there’s no doubt Dix would have preferred to see him win the party nomination in Vancouver-Fairview (he lost to George Heyman).

Meggs will be the main back-channel contact on Vancouver city council for

a Dix-led government, but it will be interesting to see if Dix offers Meggs a more formal and senior role in that government.

Moe Sihota. The former cabinet minister is president of the NDP, and was closely associated with Clark (and therefore Dix) while in government. He shares Dix’s view that the NDP needs to focus on winning a second term in government and not just one, and therefore can’t do much that alienates voters.

Even without an election platform released, these aforementioned folks can show you where the NDP is headed if they win in May. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC Keith.Baldrey@globalnews.ca

Archaic pot laws beyond despicable

Adrian Smith, Coquitlam

Time to legalize pot The Editor, Re: “Tiny pot plants cost Surrey man his $440K home,” the Now, March 21.

Justice Paul Pearlmen’s concern for public safety regarding criminal activity related to marijuana grow-ops is valid. But what do you expect when a commodity has an artificially inflated value of $2,000 or more per pound?

If “the state” really has an interest in general deterrence of gang-related activity, then it would consider a legally regulated system similar to alcohol. Alcohol prohibition brought with it high levels of organized crime as well.

There is no sense in allowing marijuana prohibition to continue. It’s a waste of police and judicial resources because it’s not decreasing the demand, nor is it stopping the underground market from supplying it.

Not to mention the danger it brings to our communities.

Why don’t we deal with the root of the problem instead of just incarcerating more people? Legalize it, regulate it, tax it, bring the price down, and eliminate the dangerous unregulated system once and for all. Now that’s sensible.

Eric Wirsching, Delta

House seizure wrong The Editor, Re: “Tiny pot plants cost Surrey man his $440K home,” the Now, March 21.

Civil forfeiture is a slippery slope – give the government an inch and they will take a mile. By the time it is finished, you will get your assets taken for simple offences.

The wrongful confiscation of property is starting already. There is also the matter of innocent people (or even guilty people who had no intention or ability to actually profit) who can’t afford the legal fees to seek the return of their assets.

It will not be long before police seize pedestrians’ shoes for jaywalking. Sounds silly? Just wait –Pandora’s box is open. That pot grower who had his house taken for 80 mini-plants was wronged, the house was not from the result of proceeds of crime, the guy made a mistake and got his punishment from the courts already.

James Redjohn, South Surrey

Bridge solutions The Editor, Re: “Province unveils options for aging Massey Tunnel,” the Now, March 14.

I have been driving trucks in Greater Vancouver for the past 14 years and I believe we should maintain the existing tunnel as it is, and add a tunnel somewhere between 80th Street in Delta and No. 8 or Nelson roads in Richmond.

Plus, we need a bridge between No. 8 Road in Richmond and Boundary Road in Vancouver and Burnaby. It will help to reduce pollution and distance for the commuters and reduce backups at four major crossings (Alex Fraser Bridge, Queensborough Bridge, Knight Street Bridge and George Massey Tunnel).

Sukhdev Sandhar, Surrey

Schools need cash The Editor, Re: “Great schools have more to them than just a score,” the Now, March 14.

I recently read Don McRae’s article concerning “great schools” and how they are not merely determined by FSA scores.

A great school, he says, provides “academics… sports, arts, theatre, and other activities” in a supportive and active school culture.

We are reassured of the abundance of these “great schools” in B.C., yet are encouraged to shop around and interview the staff in order to make better decisions about where to send our children.

This is because not all schools are equal on the elective front – some offer more elective options than others, and the variety of educational choices differs from school to school.

Why the difference? Teachers are not paid to conduct extracurricular activities – these are offered on a volunteer basis, and are not standardized or funded by the government.

In addition, some schools have better resources than others, depending on the school’s area and affluence, since parents often contribute their time by fundraising or donate to the school’s resources and materials.

Our system is underfunded – tax money goes to private schools, creating even greater disparity. Our schools have large classes, too few specialist teachers who support students with needs, and our teachers are not respected enough to be consulted regarding educational curricular planning at the ministry level. Teachers are also the most underpaid in the country, even though we live in the most expensive province.

The minister knows what makes a great school: proper funding for class size, composition, and ratios – he said as much when he was a regular teacher.

Now that we are close to elections, he is just putting up a smokescreen to disguise the fact that this government has done its best to run education to the ground.

Teachers will not rest until these wrongs are righted as the Supreme Court of B.C. has ordered, and until our working conditions (which also make for “great” schools) are improved.

Who knows? Once all this is in place we might not even need continual reporting and testing in our schools. There will be real

assessment and communication. Parents will trust that every child is developing, and learning will no longer be a struggle for all, but a joy. And there will be no need to go shopping for a great school.

Neovi Patsicakis, Surrey

NDP better for families The Editor, There is good reason as to why many eligible female voters will be casting a ballot for the NDP and not for the Liberals in the upcoming election.

As a female voter, I am looking for the party that puts the most important thing to British Columbians first and foremost, and that is our families.

Under the leadership of the Liberals, I have watched the deterioration of our health services and lack of support for our school children. Seniors are waiting far too long to be reunited with their spouses when their health dictates that they need long-term care. Special needs students are not getting the amount of specialized support that they need in order to function and many of our children are arriving at school hungry, without food and not properly attired for our weather.

The reality is that family income has been seriously compromised under the Liberal government. The minimum wage is far too low considering our cost of living and many wage earners at that level are women trying to support their families.

The food bank is still in existence after 30 years in operation because we now have what is called the working poor – the fastest growing group utilizing the food bank are actually wage earners. Why? Because our wages have not kept up with the cost of living. While the government claims to have created jobs, I have only seen good-paying jobs lost and replaced by “the working poor” wage.

This government has squeezed working families to the extent that their quality of life has been compromised while pandering to the business community.

It is time for a government that supports families, that is why I will be voting for the party with the best track record of doing just that, the NDP. Arlene Laing, Surrey

The Editor, Re: “Tiny pot plants cost Surrey man his $440K home,” the Now, March 21.

This is beyond despicable. It has become blatantly obvious that cannabis should be legalized. While parts of the U.S. (like Washington and Colorado) are seeing the light, we continue to live in the dark ages of pointless prohibition.

The B.C. government’s theft of this poor guy’s house for nothing more than a few pot plants is reprehensible and should not be tolerated.

Several years ago, I was a victim of Coquitlam’s so-called Public Safety Inspection Team. They searched my rental property, did not find so much as a marijuana seed or a single leaf, but nevertheless decided it was a grow-op.

While my house was not stolen from me, the power was disconnected, my tenants were forced to move and I was subjected to a draconian series of costly hoops I had to jump through to put the whole nightmare behind me. This whole ordeal is what caused me to become a staunch advocate for an end to the wrong-headed war on weed. I am a supporter of LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) and SensibleBC, which seeks to decriminalize cannabis in B.C.

My diagnosis 10 years ago would have been fatal.

Matthew McKinnon, 17, has just recently finished treatment for brain cancer and will be finishing the 2013 Ride to Conquer Cancer exactly one year after having a major surgery to remove a tumour. Four of his five siblings are joining him on the 250-kilometre long, two-day ride from Cloverdale to Seattle.

Ride to Conquer Cancer

Brain cancer survivor gears up for ride donate to team BFF with Carolyn Cooke

Now staff Twitter @carolyncooke1

When Matthew McKinnon finishes the Ride to Conquer Cancer in June, it will be exactly one year since the Surrey teen had surgery to remove a brain tumour.

“My diagnosis 10 years ago would have been terminal,” he said, and that is why he and the four of his five siblings who

are riding with him are earmarking their fundraising efforts for brain cancer research.

“My diagnosis now is 95 per cent chance of success so that just shows you what the money going toward the research really does do,” he added.

In May last year, Matthew said he first had headaches, then vision problems and nausea. Because he was involved in a lot of sports, it was first thought to be a concussion. After a partial MRI scan, he was misdiagnosed with a sinus infection, and when the medication he was given failed to help, another scan was done and revealed the tumour.

He was rushed to B.C. Children’s Hospital by ambulance, which he described as “kind of cool.” There he had an immediate surgery for a biopsy and to relieve the pressure the tumour was putting on a brain vessel and

then, on June 16, Matthew had the eighthour major surgery to remove the cancerous growth, which was between his optic nerves.

It was while he was still in ICU that his sister Claire mentioned the Ride to Conquer Cancer, in which two of her friends were riding with wristbands bearing his name.

She asked if he would want to take part himself the next year. He said yes.

“I was still on morphine of course so I wasn’t thinking of a 250-kilometre bike ride,” he said with a laugh. “I was just thinking it would be a fun thing to do.”

All joking aside, his mom said Matthew’s excellent physical condition helped, as did his positive, humorous outlook on life.

“He’s been a great support for the rest of his family,” said Doreen McKinnon, as well as being a positive role model at his school, Holy Cross.

Good Th ings Happen at Ricky 's!

With the surgery a success and follow-up treatments behind him, Matthew, now 17, and his siblings – Hannah, 20, Peter, 22, Claire, 24, and Emily, 26 – are training for the two-day ride, from Cloverdale to Seattle on June 15 and 16.

Doreen and Dave McKinnon, and their son-in-law Mat Huff are also volunteering.

The group joined Team BFF – Team Bike for Friends and Families – whose members honoured Matthew in 2012. While they have all met their fundraising goals, they encourage support for other members of Team BFF who are still working toward their $2,500 minimum.

COMMUNITY Easy Does It Club

Addicts find help, hope at busy meeting place in Newton Tom Zillich

Now staff Twitter @tomzillich

A

s a meeting place, a humble beige/ blue building in the heart of Newton may be busiest in all of Surrey.

The second-floor door of Easy Does It Club swings open for more than 30 meetings a week, day and night, offering hope to those addicted to a variety of vices – alcohol, heroin, cocaine, meth, gambling, overeating and more. An estimated 45,000 visits are made to the building each year.

Traffic speeds by attendees who gather between 12-step meetings on a corner sidewalk, at King George Boulevard and 73rd Avenue, or in a more secluded outdoor smoking area, behind a fence.

“A lot of people don’t know what this place is, or what goes on here,” said Gary T. Robinson during an open house at the clubhouse last Thursday. “It’s not a crack shack, as some people believe, or a bar or anything like that. There’s no drugs, no alcohol, just help for people who need it.”

Robinson, a former Surrey city councillor and now executive director of Realistic Success Recovery Society, attended meetings at the club during his battle with cocaine addiction. He now helps run the place.

“I went to the bottom, lived in the bush,” Robinson said. “I came to meetings right here, seven years ago. I’ve been on the executive twice and I work hard to support

it and get others to support it, too. This place, the programs here, saved my life.”

The site has been home to Easy Does It Club for seven years; prior to that, the society that operates the facility held its meetings at a number of other places in Surrey since 1978.

This year, a provincial lottery grant evaporated, meaning tight times at the club.

To help pay rent – $3,400 a month plus utilities, according to club vice-president Michael Dillon – coffee and snacks are sold at a concession stand. A sign on a wall encourages meeting attendees to buy in-house, not from Tim Hortons or any other takeout place. Such “outside” food and drinks are forbidden inside the building.

“We have to sell a lot of coffee to keep the place running,” said Dillon. “Rent is a little high here, but it’s a good location near the (four Trilogy) recovery houses (operated by Realistic Success Recovery Society). Those are the people we help.”

About 80 per cent of the people who come to Easy Does It Club have just pocket change, he said.

“Some of the people are able to throw something into the basket to help cover the rent, but many are able to only put in sweat equity – washing, cleaning, volunteering behind the counter to fill shifts,” added Dillon, who co-ordinates the schedule for two dozen volunteers. “This week, I had three people cancel on me, so we scramble.

I’m proud of the volunteers we have here

SOUNDS TO MAKE YOU

SMILE

We have to sell a lot of coffee to keep the place running. now. They shop for groceries, keep it neat and clean, do maintenance. A building like this needs a lot of helping hands, and a lot of people step up to volunteer.”

Dillon, 55, an out-of-work warehouseman still working to kick his addictions to crack cocaine and alcohol, has been attending meetings at the club since 2007.

“I have three years of sobriety – I’m not cured, but I’m sober today,” he said. “It’s been an interesting experience that affected me mentally, physically, socially – but I’m slowly getting everything back.”

The club’s current president is Dave Dickerson, who started “hanging out here” in 2006, at a time when he wasn’t yet finished with booze. Three years later, he was in one of the Realistic Success houses.

“It was mandatory that we come here – so I came and came and came,” Dickerson said.

“I was here for one-hour meetings twice a day, sometimes three times, because I wanted to stay sober. I also came here to not be alone, because alcohol made me want to be alone, at home. Initially, I wanted to be social with alcohol, but that changed over the years – 35 years, for me.”

Dickerson, who now lives in White Rock, pegs his sobriety anniversary date as Dec. 3, 2009. “It’s still a tough battle, and every now and then I think about having a drink,” he said. “I keep going, you know, and it’s a great life for me.”

At Thursday’s open house, SurreyNewton MLA Harry Bains spoke briefly to a small group of club members.

“This is an important place for people who have gotten off track, for whatever reason, and want to again be productive members of society,” Bains told the Now. As for government funding, Bains added: “We have to rearrange priorities with funding and redirect it to more important places, and this place could be one of them.”

Robinson is fortunate to have his wife, Susan Sanderson, the club’s recording secretary, remain by his side through some turbulent years.

“I was on the opposite side of his journey,” she said. “We were separated for eight years, and at one point I said yes, I’d help him find a recovery house. After that experience, Gary said that in order for him to stay clean and sober, he needed to remain in this (recovery) industry. We did that together, and it led us to reconciliation. It’s a miracle, really, that even in his addiction he was able to keep the kind of relationship with me where I wanted to be friends with him, at least, and that he hadn’t destroyed everything we had together.”

‘Tire Round-up’ events collect old rubber April 6 Tire Stewardship BC, in partnership with Kal Tire, is holding a Tire Round-up in Surrey and Langley on April 6.

People are encouraged to get a head start on spring cleaning and bring in all their old tires – on or off the rim – to one of the three locations.

“This is the first time we’ve partnered to host only three Round-Ups in the same day, but also on the Lower Mainland,” said Mike Hennessy, TSBC executive director. “At each location visitors can enjoy a charity barbecue and other festivities, as well as visit in-store, and most importantly, drop off their old tires so they don’t end up in the landfill.”

The rubber from recycled tires is used as playground surfacing, coloured landscaping mulch, athletic tracks, garden stones, flooring and other uses.

On Saturday, April 6 tires can be dropped off at Kal Tire locations at 20520 Langley Bypass, Langley, as well as at 16139 Fraser Hwy. and 5621 180th St. in Surrey.

Students help Surrey non-profits Envision Financial and Douglas College are once again teaming up for the Community Capacity Building program, in which students work with non-profits to help them overcome some of their biggest

challenges. This year the Sources Rent Bank and SOS Children’s Village B.C. are the Surrey recipients. “This program has immense value for the work we do with children, youth and young adults in the community,” said Leah Dullum of SOS Children’s Village B.C. “Non-profits work with limited resources and don’t always have the ability to develop new marketing strategies or do market research.”

$936K for projects to keep roads safer ICBC invested $936,000 in 28 road safety projects in Surrey, Delta and White Rock in 2012.

That includes improving traffic signal timings at each intersection along 104th Avenue between 156th and 144th streets, as well as other major routes; installing seven new left-turn signals at lights; installing 106 visual countdown timers at intersections; widening the shoulders and corners at Highway 15 and 16th Avenue, upgrading two-way stops to full traffic signals; improved street lighting; and adding marked crosswalks, among other improvements.

6 HABITS FOR GOOD SMALL BUSINESS FINANCE 5.

Welcome New Members: Accessable Home & Property Services Ltd. 2344 129B Street, Surrey T: 604-323-6876 www.accessable.ca Dawn Wattie Law Corporation 15552 Vista Drive, White Rock T: 604-535-7801 www.dawnwattielawcorp.ca Cascadia Optics 122 - 2950 King George Blvd., Surrey T: 604-560-5799 www.cascadiaoptics.com

Unless you are an accountant or you enjoy working with numbers, it’s unlikely that you look forward to keeping track of your company finances. However, establishing good habits and routines can save you time and help keep your finances on course. Here are the six good habits every small business owner should adopt:

1.

Get Organized

Disorganization costs money. Overdraft fees, late fees, and credit interest, can drain your bank account and tarnish your financial reputation with potential lenders and investors.

Putting systems in place will make sure your are paid for the goods or services your provide, that you pay all the bills in a timely manner and that you know what is going in and out of your company

bank account.

Look for those small leaks in money like clients invoices you forgot to chase, subscriptions or memberships you no longer use and warranties you have not filed.

2.

Ask for Help

Taxes can be stressful, so unless you are an accountant, it may be best to hire one and make sure they are filed properly. It isn’t necessarily that filing your taxes is complicated, but more that your time is better spent running your business. It will also help ensure that nothing is missed and that you claim all of the deductions you are able to, helping you save money along the way.

3.

Don’t Assume you are Getting the Best Value

Don’t underestimate your customer. If your products or services are meeting a demand in the market, let your prices reflect it.

Conduct some market research and find out what your customers are willing to pay and don’t just assume a price point.

You might be reducing your profit margin for no reason.

4.

Ignoring Investments that Don’t Undervalue Boost Productivity It may be a new piece of your Products or equipment, a new hire, or Services

a new system that will take some time and money to implement. If you know you can increase the overall productivity of your business, you shouldn’t ignore the opportunity to do so.

There are smart investments that can help your business be a lean, mean, profit-producing machine.

Treat any business purchase the way you would treat a personal purchase: shop around and compare products or services.

Don’t just assume that you have been given the best deal you can get.

Just because it was the best deal when you signed-up for that internet service provider, doesn’t mean it still is. Review your operating costs and contracts every six months or so to be sure you are getting the best value.

6.

Negotiate!

Just as you know you are likely to offer a deal to that customer you really want to keep, so will your suppliers. If you discover you are paying too much for a service or product: negotiate! In order to keep your business, they’ll most likely match the competition’s offer. You’ll be save both the hassle of switching and the extra money you were paying.

food

thought

Food’s hidden ingredients W More recently, U.K. officials discovered the popular Findus beef lasagna contained as much as 100 per cent horse meat.

While ear tags can be used to track an animal from the farm to slaughterhouse, those systems can also be subverted, sending a ripple effect through the entire global food economy, according to Low. “These external tags can be removed and changed easily,” says Low. “This is what happened in the recent horse meat scandal, as the current information indicates that the meat was produced in Romania and was clearly labeled as horse meat. It was then shipped to France where it miraculously changed species.”

With just a few molecules, Low believes a new system of traceability could link the food on your fork to its farm or factory of origin with complete accuracy.

Called an internal oligomolecular tag, a small portion of molecules would be added to food at some stage of the food chain, giving the food a distinct signature, which could be tested at any stage to indicate validity.

The tag, which is safe and stable, according to Low, would show the geographical origin of the food.

If the concentration of the tag was altered, an examiner might determine the product had been debased, according to Low. Low is currently hoping to produce the tag in commercial quantities and conduct pilot studies, but a funding shortfall has waylaid those plans.

The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada funded Low’s project for 18 months, but soon after Low and his colleague Robert Hanner were approved for another three years of research the federal government shifted course.

“The federal government decided in late 2010 that food would no longer be a strategically funded research area,” Low writes. “Our project has been in limbo for the past two years as I look for funding.”

While Canada has so far avoided high profile cases of food fraud, other countries have not been so fortunate.

In an apparent attempt to simulate a highprotein content in several milk products, a manufacturer in China added the nitrogen-rich chemical melamine to its milk in 2008.

Approximately 300,000 children suffered kidney damage and other ailments and six babies died, according to a New York Times article.

After spending six years working in B.C. abattoirs (slaughterhouses) and recently joining non-profit organization Food Secure Canada, Abra Brynne says Canadians can be fairly certain the meat we’re eating is genuine.

“My experience with a lot of the abattoirs, is yes, the consumer could have been very confident,” says Brynne. “My experience with provincially inspected plants is that they, for the most part, only have access to shorter supply chain opportunities.”

While Canada has legislated truth in labeling laws, Brynne says the competition of the marketplace can be a concern.

“I know from some of the smaller suppliers, in order to get the price points that they need in order to get into grocery stores, they have to… shift their ingredients if something

becomes out of reach in terms of the price point,” she says.

Olive oil and fresh fish are two of the likeliest offenders, according to some reports.

In his book, Extra Virginity: The Sublime and Scandalous World of Olive Oil, author Tom Mueller delves into what he describes as a largely unregulated and frequently fraudulent extra-virgin olive oil market.

Rather than using olive pulp, many manufacturers dose sunflower or canola seeds with chlorophyll and pass off the fruits of their deception as extra-virgin olive oil, according to Mueller.

In another example, researchers from Columbia University found some form of fraud in 19 out of 31 sushi restaurants they tested in New York and Denver. In nine restaurants, genetic tests revealed the sushi in question to be endangered southern bluefin tuna.

In other cases albacore tuna was discovered to be escolar, which the team described as a “health hazard” in their report.

Many concerns about food fraud can be assuaged by buying organic, according to Brynne.

“The traceability is an inherent part of the certification system,” she says. “If you’re a processor getting organic certification, you have to provide information on every single ingredient that you use.”

hile we might have grown accustomed to schemes, scams, deceptions, evasions and omissions, the notion that the food on our plate is lying to us remains hard to swallow.

Following recent revelations regarding equine lasagna in the United Kingdom, many consumers are becoming more concerned about the deliberate mislabeling of food.

Approximately five to 10 per cent of food sold in Canada may contain some type of discrepancy between the list of ingredients and the goods inside the package, according to researcher and University of Saskatchewan professor Kevin Low. With a background in chemistry, Low has been fascinated with food fraud since pioneering a system to detect carbohydratebased sweeteners in “pure” orange juice 25 years ago.

“It is like being a detective and finding out who did the dirty deed and why,” he writes in an email.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency receives about 40 complaints a year related to food fraud, according to media relations coordinator Suzi Beck.

While the problem does not seem to be increasing, consumers are becoming increasingly vigilant when it comes to truth in labeling, according to Low. Manufacturers of vanilla, honey, maple syrup, and coffee have all substituted inferior ingredients in the last 20 years, says Low.

An intersection on the Delta-Surrey border was sprinkled with a bit of happiness on a recent Friday afternoon.

People held signs with positive messages that are making their way around North America in a communityminded campaign that started last May in Anacortes, Wash.

With some members wearing bright yellow shirts, a local group of “happiness ambassadors” held a couple dozen signs – saying “Free hugs,”“You have enough,” “You are a good person” and more – during

the afternoon rush of March 8 at the corner of 88th Avenue and 120th Street.

The initiative is designed to offer warm thoughts to those not expecting it.

“People loved it!” Rhonda Krushel, organizer of the local event, told the Now. “The people who held the signs and cheered were all so thankful to be a part of it, and we received much encouragement from the public.”

The signs have travelled throughout B.C. and across the U.S., Krushel added. After the event on Scott Road, the signs were to be sent to Wanatchee, Wash. Campaign details are online at happinesssprinklingproject.org.

“Happiness Ambassadors” wave signs on 120th Street at event on March 8.

A LONG, SIT-DOWN MEAL: Two or three courses is fine, but if guests have to sit through a never-ending parade of courses, that limits their ability to mingle and have a good time.

ANYTHING TOO ELABORATE: The faster servers can get food out to guests, the better. If they have to sit there piping mashed potato roses on dishes or assemble intricate canapes, the delay might not be worth the presentation. And remember, the more bells and whistles, the higher the price tag.

FAST FOOD: This is your wedding, and you want the food to fit with the scale of the day. A formal wedding generally includes a formal meal. Although it may be alright to include some fast food inspired dishes at the cocktail buffet, steer clear of burgers and fries for the main meal.

THEMED FOOD: Don’t dye that baked potato purple because you want the wedding to be a plum-coloured affair. Also, it’s best to avoid themed food, unless it is part of a cultural wedding or can be pulled off with class. It’s much easier to pass off crepes and croissants for a Parisian wedding than giant turkey legs and tankards of ale for a Renaissance-themed one.

Bake

Couples often fret over what to serve their guests at the reception, and rightfully so.

Reception costs can comprise a majority of the wedding-day budget. When spending $100 or more per guest, you want to ensure you’re getting what you paid for and that guests enjoy what they’re eating. Some foods to avoid serving your wedding guests: EXOTIC CUISINE: You may be a risk taker when it comes to cuisine, but others may not share your zeal for exotic foods.

Now is not the time to introduce guests to the wild and wacky. If you’ve seen an exotic dish on the Food Network or the Travel Channel, give it a try another time.

ANYTHING ON FIRE: Why risk an accident for a spectacle? Baked alaska, cherries jubilee, apples flambe – these are foods that might provide a show, but the cost of that show may not be worth it in the end.

RAW FOOD: Clams on the halfshell or sushi-grade tuna may seem like good ideas, but it is hard to ensure quality when feeding 200 people at one time. Foods that require special refrigeration or immediate service for freshness are best avoided. Don’t risk food poisoning on a room full of people unless you want your wedding to be remembered for stomach cramps.

making the proposal to all of the creditors and, if accepted by a simple majority of creditors, filing it with the courts and overseeing the repayment.

In a consumer proposal, there is no interest on the debt to be repaid, which is normally in the range of 30 to 50 per cent of the total, paid out monthly for up to five years.

“It’s a remedy that’s out there that people are entitled to use,” said Mantin. “The challenge is they just don’t seem to know about it.”

Among the misconceptions about Canadian consumer proposals are that taxes cannot be included and that homeowners will automatically lose their house. That may be true in the States, said Mantin, but not in Canada.

While looming tax deadlines may irk most Canadians, it’s outright anxietyproducing for those who owe the government a sizeable chunk of change and can’t pay up.

What few of these people know is that they have more options to deal with overwhelming debt than just filing for bankruptcy. This is good news because escalating tax debt is a problem that has been on the rise in Surrey and Langley, according to Blair Mantin.

He is a trustee with Sands and Associates, which has an office in Surrey, and he said he has been seeing quite an increase in people from south of the Fraser over their heads in debt to Canada By doing a proposal, you’re getting Revenue Agency.

“The main reason being that by doing “I’m seeing a lot of $40,000 to $50,000 tax a proposal, you’re getting a better rate of bills,” said Mantin, adding that in Canada, recovery on your debts than if you’d filed for tax debt is essentially considered the same as bankruptcy. other classes of debt.

Eagles in driver’s seat as rivalry heats up view photo gallery with Michael Booth

Now staff Twitter @boothnow

Well that didn’t take long.

Following a six-year respite, the Surrey Eagles and Chilliwack Chiefs have wasted little time in cranking up the heat in their B.C. Hockey League rivalry. The two old foes put their hostility for each other on hold for five years while the Western Hockey League made a pit stop in the Fraser Valley and now, after the Chiefs spent a year in Interior division purgatory in 2011-12, the two rivals are picking things up where they left off.

After battling each other for Mainland division supremacy all season, the two clubs are at it again, this time in a best-of-five series in the second round of the BCHL playoffs.

Surrey used home ice to its full advantage in winning the first two games of the series at South Surrey Arena last weekend. Surrey blanked the Chiefs 4-0 on Friday night and then outlasted their Valley rivals 5-4 Saturday.

It didn’t take long for the animosity to build as rough play prompted Eagles coach Matt Erhart to bench offensive stars Adam Tambellini and Brady Shaw for the late stages of Friday’s win.

Saturday’s game wasn’t nearly as thuggish, but by the third period the chippiness rose to the surface as both teams looked for any edge they could.

Surrey Eagles forward Trevor Cameron (21) tries to jam the puck past Chilliwack Chiefs goaltender Mitch Gillam during Game 2 action of their BCHL playoff series Saturday night at South Surrey Arena. Cameron beat Gillam three times in the game to lead Surrey to a 5-4 win. (Photo: GARRETT JAMES) “It’s a really good rivalry and they’re a very physical team,” said Eagles forward Trevor Cameron.

“They like to be chippy to try and get us to take bad penalties, but we didn’t let it get to us. We didn’t back down from them at all and matched their intensity all game.”

Cameron came through with one of his best games in two years of wearing an Eagles uniform.

After missing on an early firstperiod breakaway, the veteran

forward scored the first three goals for Surrey — his first BCHL hat trick — and earned first star honours for the game.

“I have some good linemates and everybody worked hard,” Cameron said modestly. “I was fortunate tonight to be on the end of the pucks that went into the net. I got a new stick today and I was just lucky tonight.”

Erhart said Cameron’s performance did not surprise him.

“He’s a playoff kind of player,”

he said. “When we win a game 7-2 he might not be on the score sheet with a point, but in a 2-1 road win he can usually be found on a score sheet.

“He’s a 20-year-old who’s been through a lot and knows the ropes.

The greasy kind of hockey that’s played in the playoffs is where he excels.”

The Eagles trailed 3-2 after two periods but opened the final frame with three unanswered goals, the last of which was a highlight

reel two-on-one breakaway with Tambellini setting the table for Michael Stenerson’s eventual game winner.

Chilliwack cut the gap to a single goal with less than two minutes remaining, but their best shot at the equalizer clanged harmlessly off the goal post.

Nicolas Pierog also scored for Surrey.

The two teams kicked off the series on Friday night, but only one side was ready to play. Shaw opened the scoring 46 seconds after the opening face off and the Eagles pounded home three more goals before the first intermission to effectively put the game out of reach.

“When you get a goal in the first minute of the game it’s huge,” Erhart said. “I think we might have caught them off-guard since they only had one day off between series. They might have been a bit shell-shocked and we were able to take advantage of it. We got a 4-0 lead and held on to it. We knew they would be way better on Saturday and they were. It was a much tighter game.”

Demico Hannoun scored two goals for Surrey while Cameron struck for another.

Eagles goalie Michael Santaguida turned aside 35 shots to earn the shutout and secure first star honours.

The series resumed Monday night in Chilliwack with Game 4, if necessary, slated for tonight. If needed, Game 5 of the series will be back at South Surrey Arena Wednesday night.

Golf report

NEWSPAPER.COM

You wonder when Mike Weir walked off the course after 11 holes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Saturday if he did so to give his sore ribs more time to heal for the Masters. It’s the 10th anniversary of Weir’s victory at Augusta and, if the only Canadian ever to wear golf ’s green jacket is unable to play in two weeks, it’s almost guaranteed to be the first Masters without Canadian colours since 1999.

That year, Weir burst into the PGA winner’s circle at the Air Canada Championship and the next spring he parlayed it into ending a six-year Masters drought for Canada. Dick Zokol, who missed the cut in his only Masters (1993), was the lone Canadian “Master” of that decade.

Weir has played in 13 straight — is anybody superstitious? — more appearances than any countryman and remains Canada’s face of pro golf.

Reluctantly, he been passing that torch for three years but the latest candidates to take it, Brad Fritsch or Graham DeLaet, will need to win this week or next week in Texas to carry the Masters flag if Weir can’t. At Arnie’s place, Fritsch’s opening-round 68 kept him in contention until the weekend and DeLaet didn’t make the top 50.

Weir’s decision is likely to be last-minute and it sounds like he’ll skip the Houston Open this week — reports on his website say he “had been scheduled” to play.

Incidentally, only two golfers who won Bay Hill won the Masters the same year: Tiger Woods (twice) and Fred Couples.

Delta Heat ’97 pitcher Jesse Goddard (right) watches a student show off her new skills at a special clinic last week. Goddard and her teammates used some of their time during the spring school break to introduce kids in Grades 4 to 7 to the game of softball through a series of camps at Newton elementary schools.

************************************************** A rung down golf ’s ladder, Adam Hadwin’s inconsistent year continued. His second-round 67 took him to one under, not good enough to offset Thursday’s 74 and Hadwin missed the cut by one. ************************************************** B.C.’s six golfers for this summer’s Canada Games are official and Coach Robert Ratcliffe says it’s “an incredibly strong team.”

Reigning Canadian Juvenile Boys champion Trevor Yu (he shot 64 to win it!) of Vancouver and West Vancouver’s Alix Kong join four Team Canada Development Squad golfers on the team: Kevin Kwon (Maple Ridge), Mark Valliere (Courtenay), Naomi Ko (Victoria) and Taylor Kim (Surrey).

The 2013 Games are Quebec, and they will preview Sherbrooke’s Milby Golf Club in late April at a preGames training camp. ************************************************** The first women’s major, the Kraft Nabisco Championship, is in the California desert this week and it would be a good time for the LPGA to correct a small oversight.

On the LPGA website, the list of golfers from Canada includes everybody from Jocelyne Bourassa to Dawn Coe-Jones to Lorie Kane to Stephanie Sherlock, who was the top Canadian on Sunday at the Kia Classic, in 49th place. It includes everybody, that is…but Sandra Post, who may have been the best of them all.

The timing to fix it is perfect. Forty-five years ago, Post won this tournament (then called the Dinah Shore) over Kathy Whitworth. She was the first nonAmerican to win on the LPGA Tour — how times have changed — and became 1968 Rookie-of-the-Year.

How could they forget her?
