Surrey to draft ban on chaining dogs Controversial canine advocate Janet Olson pitched the idea to council by Kevin Diakiw A WHITE ROCK woman before the courts for allegedly stealing dogs addressed

Surrey council on Monday afternoon, asking for a ban on the chaining and tethering of canines. Janet Olson, founder of A Better Life Dog Rescue, has been charged with multiple counts of theft, break and enter and commit indictable offence, fraud and breach of undertaking or recognizance. Olson told The Leader on Dec. 1, 2011 that the initial dog she was charged with taking was suffering badly and that she had the “moral right” to take it. She’s since been charged with several other incidents in Abbotsford (November 2009), Surrey (February 2010 and April 2011), Richmond (July 2010), White Rock (January 2011) and Coquitlam (November 2011). She is scheduled to be back in court on May 1. On Monday, Olson – as part of a group calling itself the Campaign to Ban the Confinement of Resident Dogs – appeared before Surrey council to give Janet Olson an impassioned plea for a ban on the chaining and tethering of dogs in the city. The presentation was accompanied by disturbing slide show and video images showing dogs in distress and even some that had hung themselves while trying to jump over a fence while chained. “In 2008, a St. Bernard who became hopelessly entangled in her tether tried to chew off her own leg in an attempt to free herself,” Olson told council. “Many chained dogs have hung themselves as they’ve jumped over their doghouses and fences, such as these dogs did. And this last picture is a dog who strangled to death in Surrey, after hours of trying to Mary Martin free himself from his tangled tether.” Olson said all of that physical pain pales in comparison to the trauma the dogs endure by being isolated and constantly alone. She wants an outright ban on chaining dogs up in yards. Surrey councillors looked deeply troubled by what they had seen and heard. See SURREY / Page 3

Telling about shooting ‘the right thing to do’ But defence lawyer argues witness was too drunk and stoned to see anything by Sheila Reynolds A HOUSEMATE of a young man killed in Surrey a

year-and-a-half ago said he witnessed the deadly shooting and only initially hesitated to tell police what he saw because he was scared. Douglas Nash was testifying in New Westminster Supreme Court Monday at the second-degree murder trial of Lester Olivia Buezo Oseguera, who is accused in the Aug. 30, 2010 death of 28-year-old José Hector Luna Morales. Nash, 41, lived in a house near 112 Avenue and 138 Street with Oseguera (who often went by the first name Tony) and Morales. Nash said he had returned home from work in the early afternoon that summer day and went out to buy beer. He proceeded to a friend’s house, called his friend Tanya, and drank a 15-pack of beer. He said he and Tanya then bought more beer and headed back to his house in Surrey, where Tanya got into an argument with Oseguera. Nash told the 12-member jury that Oseguera took out a gun and shot at Tanya, missing her. Nash said Oseguera, who he described as being sweaty and upset, then turned the gun toward Morales, who had emerged from his bedroom, and shot him. During cross-examination, Oseguera’s defence lawyer, David Tarnow, pointed to five statements Nash made to police following the shooting. It wasn’t until the last statement, Tarnow said, that Nash said he actually saw the incident. In earlier statements he said he was in his room drinking beer when he heard a “pop,” Tarnow argued. “I told him I didn’t see it at the beginning because I was basically afraid and didn’t want to rat out,” said Nash. “Now I know it’s the right thing to do and I don’t care what happens to me.” Though Nash admitted he’d been drinking after work – at least 15 beer, which he said was not unusual for him – Tarnow accused him of also snorting cocaine and making up the entire story about Oseguera shooting Morales. “You can’t remember what happened because

you were too drunk and stoned to remember, right?” charged Tarnow. Nash denied the accusation, saying he hadn’t done cocaine for 20 years, but Tarnow persisted, suggesting the gunshot Nash heard was nothing but a drug-induced hallucination. “I knew what was going on pretty well,” Nash answered calmly. Later in the day, Don Stanyer, the father of Oseguera’s one-time girlfriend, took the witness stand. Stanyer said he first met Oseguera in early 2008 when his daughter Denise began a romantic relationship with him. The 64-year-old dad testified that once his daughter started seeing Oseguera, she began coming home with bruises and they’d see her less often. When she did come to visit, Oseguera would wait in the car, honking when he See MORALES / Page 5

Surrey: Wants to see regionwide restrictions From page 1 “I don’t think that there’s one person around this council table that has any disagreement with what you are proposing,” said Mayor Dianne Watts, adding she was behind the group “150 per cent.” Coun. Mary Martin called the presentation “heartbreaking” and asked Olson how many dogs are living in these conditions in Surrey. Olson estimated about a few hundred dogs were confined by chains. Coun. Barbara Steele said she’d be asking for an emergency motion to go before the Local Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA), which would likely be passed and forwarded to the Union of B.C. Municipalities. The aim would be to enact a regional ban on tethering. At the same time, Surrey will draft a bylaw of its own, legislation for which Olson will be invited to provide input. The group was ecstatic by the reaction from council. Dianne Watts “I’m absolutely thrilled. The response was far better than we anticipated,” Olson said after the meeting. “It is just staggering for us, better than we had ever hoped for.” Asked why she hadn’t tried to lobby council before, Olson said it was all about picking the right moment. “The timing was just right, because we’d heard Surrey was thinking about changing their bylaws, so to do it before it got to that point, it probably would have been fruitless.” The issue could go to the LMLGA as soon as its annual general meeting on May 9 in Whistler.

Trapper fails to snare support from council Surrey to go ahead with leg-hold trap ban by Kevin Diakiw HIS TIMING couldn’t

have been worse. Tim Killey, a selfstyled hobby trapper, appeared before Surrey council Monday to urge them to stop a ban on leg-hold traps. His pitch came immediately after another group’s plea to ban the chaining of dogs, a presentation that included heartwrenching pictures of dogs hanged to death

by their own tethers. It was an emotionally rattled council that braced itself to hear Killey’s argument that he can kill animals humanely. Killey was there because council is planning to ban leg-hold traps at the request of a group called Fur Bearer Defenders. He asserted that the traps used nowadays allow for a completely humane kill.

Mayor Dianne Watts told Killey the city would rather not kill any animal, preferring instead to relocate them. See KILLEY / Page 5

Morales: Lived in Surrey for just a year-and-a-half From page 3 wanted Denise to come, Stanyer said, describing his own relationship with Oseguera as “very strained.” Denise and Oseguera eventually had a son together in 2009. Stanyer said the following year, his daughter asked him and his wife for money for a plane ticket to Honduras. They obliged. “She was afraid and she asked for some place to get away,” Stanyer told the jury. “I don’t know what else to tell you – she just had to get away.” Stanyer said Denise left at the beginning of August 2010 with a female friend, leaving an address and cellphone number where she could be reached.

Killey noted that the approach is laudable, but overused. He said often people will trap raccoons, take them to a green space, which unbeknownst to them, is already fully populated with raccoons. The animal will then simply head to another area and become someone else’s problem. Killey described himself as a hobby trapper, making just enough from sales of skins to pay for the gasoline in his truck.

To underline his point about trap effectiveness, Killey approached council with traps, loaded them and set them off. He even asked council for a volunteer to put their hand in a leg-hold trap, and when they declined, he set it off on his own hand to show how painless it was. Watts said Tuesday she appreciated his presentation, but said the city will be forging ahead with a ban on the leg-hold traps as planned. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

I WATCHED most of the Canucks Stanley Cup playoff games although I am not an ardent hockey fan. Apparently, neither are a great number of Canadians. Sitting in my MDs office I thumbed through a Reader’s Digest magazine and found this interesting information compiled University of Lethbridge sociologist Reginald Bibby. According to Statistics Canada, a mere 11 per cent of kids ages five to 15 in our country

play hockey regularly. More swim and 20 per cent play soccer, making it the largest sport by far. And, amongst the adult population the most popular sport is golf, hands down, lost balls and all. We may think we are a hockey crazy nation, but only three in 10 adults follow professional hockey closely. Another startling statistic to me is the fact that when the CBC broadcasts

Hockey Night in Canada, 94 per cent of television viewers ignore the game and find something else to occupy them. According to Professor Bibby, we are not the ardent hockey nation we are told we are. The game has relatively few followers. Bring on the B.C. Lions and Vancouver Whitecaps!

For many, it will be the start of a journey – from the BC Summer Games to the Western Canada Games to the Canada Games, and some will even make it to the Olympics. They will remember Surrey as the place where their journey started. For some of the athletes, the BC Summer Games will be their only opportunity to participate in a multi-game event. But they, too, will remember their experiences at the BC Summer Games in Surrey for a lifetime. Surrey has taken on the challenge of helping these young athletes create wonderful memories. And from the response we saw last Thursday evening at the torch-lighting ceremony at Bear Creek Park, our community is up to the challenge. Students from Erma Stephenson and Maple Green elementaries, and Panorama Ridge, Frank Hurt, Kwantlen Park, Enver Creek and Princess Margaret secondaries literally blew the socks off the crowd with their energy and talent. Volunteers from the 2812 Seaforth Cadets as well as the Leos Clubs from Kwantlen Park and Fraser Heights Secondary Schools were on hand to help, as were the North Surrey Lions Club, Roger Bose, Judy Lieu and the Phoenix Society “Red Shirt” Volunteers. More than 30 athletes from 20 different sports helped Mayor Dianne Watts and Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer light the torch.

foiled again

I JUST wanted to thank Andrew Holota for the chuckles reading his column on “Reflecting on Excess,” April 12. As a mom of three boys (two teens and one pre-teen) these big box stores not only save my bacon, but supply it at a reasonable price too. They looked at me quizzically as I laughed – I tried to explain to them that I can’t carry anything else into the house when I’m loading in the tinfoil because it’s too heavy. They of course think I’m losing it. Anyhow, it’s nice to read something in the paper that makes you laugh out loud. And no, we haven’t made any alien tin foil hats either – they’re not allowed. I need that roll to last at least two years. D. Sawicki

Princess Margaret Secondary School’s a capella choir performs at the torch-lighting ceremony for the BC Summer Games last Thursday at Bear Creek Park. I personally want to thank all of the performers and volunteers for making the evening a great success. There are a few volunteers that I would really like to acknowledge – the chairs of the Ceremonies Directorate: Tracey Gravel, Cyndy Hill, Graham Newberry and Al Roberts – they worked tirelessly for many hours

to make the event happen. It also wouldn’t have happened without the great staff from the City of Surrey, especially Dan Nielson. The general public can be involved as well. As the athletes compete, make friends and create memories, so will our volunteers. This is a great opportunity for Surrey residents to get involved

and participate in this special event. I encourage everyone to go online and sign up today at www.2012bcsummergames.ca We’re Game! Bonnie Burnside Director of Ceremonies BC Summer Games 2012

Surreyites: Payers of tolls Fuelling OAS envy BRIDGE TOLLS – I don’t know what the fuss is all about. We in Surrey are

happy to pay for bridges and highways so that our social betters don’t have to. Toll the Lion’s Gate? Toll the Second Narrows? These are outrageous ideas, which might harm the business leaders from whom our meager incomes trickle down. And the worst idea – toll the road to Whistler where our betters go to relax. No, we in Surrey are happy to pay our tolls. Throughout history the peasants have always paid to make things easy for the kings and their ladies. Some cheap, irresponsible drivers will avoid tolls by clogging up our neighbourhoods in Surrey and New West as they honk their way onto the Pattullo or the Alex Fraser bridges. They should remember our premiers, Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark, who set things up so we in Surrey could assume our proper role in life – to be the payers of tolls. Ed Grifﬁn Surrey

I’M SURE retired

seniors and those nearing age 65 are all resting easy now after receiving their “Dear Sir, Madam” letter from Minister Diane Finley. All this letter does is pit generations against one another, making those born on or before 31 March, 1958 resent and feel those collecting the

Old Age Security have received some benefit they are now going to have to wait for. They are encouraging envy and jealousy between groups rather than ensuring all are treated fairly. The Harper government’s policy seems to be to ensure the present Canadian Pension Plan and OAS system fails so that their friends in

the financial field can step in and “save” pensions much as their plans for the health care system. I’m sure the savings over the two years people will have to wait can go to cover the difference between the cost and the true cost of the failed F-35 fighter jets. F. Girling, Surrey

All window dressing to make it appear that council will stop allowing illegal suites. Every year they have a mayor’s forum or special town hall meeting but do nothing. The tax-burdened homeowner who doesn’t want to have a monster house next door with 20 people living in it is left with higher crime, no parking, no privacy and no peace of mind. The suites are built illegally, not to building codes, and people have been dying in these suites in fires. The last publicized ones involved two children about a year ago here in Surrey. There were no working fire/smoke detectors. It’s time council started upholding the laws they were hired to uphold. Councillors are voted in to have the laws of the land and its bylaws enforced through inspectors and municipal police forces and enforce them for all of our safety. Paul Fitzgerald, Surrey

Consumers and businesses in British Columbia have an environmentally sound recycling option.You can drop off a range of acceptable products at designated Collection Sites throughout the province without charge (see “Acceptable Products” list for details). The Electronics Products Recycling Association (EPRA) is a national, not-for-profit extended producer responsibility program. EPRA has contracted Encorp Pacific (Canada) to deliver the stewardship program under the Return-It™ Electronics brand in BC. The program works to recover and recycle all regulated electronics in a responsible, cost effective manner. The Return-It system also ensures BC’s unwanted electronics are collected and recycled in an environmentally and socially responsible manner by using the Recycler Qualification Program (RQP). Since 2007, the EPRA program, previously run by ESABC, has diverted over 70.6 million kilograms of electronics out of BC landfills and illegal export, while recovering precious metals and other materials for use in future products. How Electronics are Recycled: Electronics collected in BC are sent to approved recyclers in North America. The items are broken down using various manual and mechanical processes.

Surrey finances improve in first quarter City staff ‘watching closely’ to avoid borrowing $4 million in surpluses as planned in 2012 budget by Kevin Diakiw SURREY IS showing

City of Surrey staff have tabled the financial report for the first quarter of this year and it shows development growth is just a bit higher than the same period last year. “Growth in areas such as Campbell Heights (business park), Grandview Heights, as well as construction identified under the Build Surrey program will continue to bolster the city economy,” Finance Manager

and timing of purchases. Engineering services is $63,000 leaner than what number crunchers figured going into this year, due to expenditure timing and revenues. Parks and Recreation is $56,000 ahead of what was anticipated, while library services are on budget. Planning and Development is $147,000 below budget due to staff vacancies and timing of civic facility maintenance. Mayor and council is $21,000 better than expected. City grants are $70,000 lower than expected due to the timing of the payments.

The city manager’s department is showing a favourable variance of $120,000 due to increased fees, staff vacancies and expenditure timing. Finance and technol-

typical, but important for this year’s finances, as the city budgeted to borrow $4 million from future surpluses. More often than not, the city is able to find that savings within the year.

fans may be crying, but Surrey is laughing all the way to the bank. The city will save more than half-a-million dollars in policing costs now that the Canucks have been eliminated from the Stanley Cup playoffs by the LA Kings in game five of their series. The amount will be more than enough to cover the disputed cost of RCMP wage hikes – which became a bone of contention among mayors this month. When asked for a tally by The Leader, Surrey RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger said the costs of policing the playoffs last year was in the neighbourhood of $500,000. The primary expense was keeping the peace at Scott Road and 72 Avenue after Canucks’ wins. Surrey’s manager of Parks Laurie Cavan said had the Canucks made it to the final round of the

playoffs this year, the final series party in North Surrey was expected to cost $120,000. It turns out, at least for the Surrey RCMP, it’s not a bad time to be saving money. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts complained earlier this month that the city was left out of the loop on RCMP wage increases prior to signing a new 20-year contract with the national force. She said the Mounties had indicated there would be some wage increases, but not the amount that actually became part of the contract. Surrey was told to budget for 1.5-per-cent hikes, where they turned out to be 1.75. Surrey staff say the difference will cost less than $500,000 this year and can be found within RCMP “efficiencies.” Those “efficiencies” have materialized with the Canucks’ loss on Sunday night. With more than $600,000 in savings from the North Surrey party and Scott Road policing costs, the shortfall is more than covered.

Allaire-Bell was stabbed to death at Frank Hurt Secondary School. While police have several leads and persons of interest, no arrests have yet been made. Police are asking anyone with “specific or intimate” knowledge Devon AllaireBell of the crime to come forward. It was April 24, 2011, when the 19 year old and his friend Jack Neilson were playing soccer and having a few beer at the 138 Street and 77 Avenue school.

They were approached by five Indo-Canadian males and an argument ensued. Knives were drawn and Neilson and Allaire-Bell were stabbed. AllaireBell died from his wounds, while Neilson suffered serious injuries, but has recovered. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) says since the release of a video, they’ve had a flood of tips, and subsequently have persons of interest they have identified. “Through the duration of the past year we know there are people who have talked about this homicide,” IHIT Sgt. Jennifer Pound said. “We need those people to come forward to police.” Allaire-Bell’s family marked the one-year anniversary with a vigil Wednesday night at the school.

sion to close its emergency oil spill office in Vancouver will not deprive B.C. of actual boots on the ground in the event of a spill in local waters. But the designated responders who would contain and clean up the oil are concerned their local federal advisors will be relocated to Quebec. “We’re not happy with it,” said Bruce Turnbull, spokesman at the Western Canada Marine Response Corp. A total of 42 Environment Canada employees in the Pacific region are affected by cost-saving shifts announced in the federal budget to carve $3.78 million from the Environmental Emergencies Program. B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake said Ottawa has indicated only five of the federal staffers do spill-related work and only as advisors, not as actual responders in the field. Western Canada Marine Response (formerly Burrard Clean) crews would respond with booms and skimming vessels if a tanker spilled oil in B.C. waters.

But Turnbull said they might also call in Environment Canada staff to serve in key incident command roles, act as environmental unit leaders or to act as technical advisors in areas such as First Nations or fisheries concerns. Federal staff will still be available – by phone from Montreal or Gatineau. “I’m hesitant to say it’s not going to work,” Turnbull said. “It could be a new learning curve. It could cause issues.” He said he preferred frequent, direct contact with locally based federal staff, adding such relationships can be important when multiple agencies must coordinate their response to a crisis at 2 a.m. The decision comes in the wake of Kinder Morgan’s announcement it will seek to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline and nearly triple the amount of oil it will carry here from Alberta. If approved, the number of oil tankers loading in north Burnaby would jump more than five-fold to at least 300 a year. NDP energy critic Peter Julian, the MP for Burnaby-New West-

Mother’s Day

minster, said it’s “reckless and dangerous” for Ottawa to close the west coast’s only federal spill response office while it expedites reviews for pipeline projects that will increase oil tanker traffic. “For the Conservatives to say to British Columbians, ‘In the event of an environmental catastrophe, leave a voice mail message in Ottawa,’ is shameful,” he said. Federal Environment Minister Peter Kent said the move to centralize staff won’t increase risks to the environment. “These employees were not cleaning up spills. They were providing information about environmentally sensitive land and species at risk,” he said. The federal government has promised more money for the Coast Guard and Transport Canada, as well as an extra $35 million over two years for tanker safety and $13.5 million for increased pipeline inspections. “I can assure British Columbians that the response capability of all levels of government is sufficient and that capability will increase to match any potential expansion of oil tanker traffic,” Lake added.

government abstain from using its powers to override the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) and industrialize large swathes of Delta farmland for port-related uses, according to the NDP Opposition. New Democrat MLAs tabled a motion in the Legislature Thursday that would ask Ottawa to agree not to exempt land acquired by Port Metro Vancouver from the land reserve. At issue is the fate of 600 acres of ALR land in South Delta near Deltaport that developers have secured options to purchase with a view to selling to Port Metro Vancouver. Agriculture defenders say the area is prime farmland that should not be lost and each chunk that is converted threatens the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long-term food security. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to hear that the Liberal government will fight

ICBC seeks ruling to blunt possible strike Union members vote in favour of job action; seeking wage hikes totaling 10 per cent by Jeff Nagel UNIONIZED ICBC work-

ers have voted 87 per cent in favour of strike

action to back demands for hefty pay hikes totaling 10 per cent. The old collective agreement expired in

2010 and the 4,600 members of the Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union (COPEU) have been

bargaining without a contract for 15 months. COPEU local 378 vice-president Jeff Gillies said the strong vote

reflects member “frustration” and said priority issues for the union are workload, wages and contracting out.

Surrey man a suspect in cop car ramming RCMP ofﬁcer seriously injured in accident Tuesday by Martin van den Hemel A RICHMOND RCMP officer suffered serious injuries

Tuesday morning when a suspected car thief led police on a chase through Vancouver, Richmond and New Westminster. The suspect, a 40-year-old Surrey man, allegedly rammed a police cruiser and a civilian vehicle as he fled capture. Mounties were alerted around 10:30 a.m. about a stolen vehicle in Richmond. Police found the suspect and attempted to arrest him, but he ignored police and allegedly got back into the pick-up and rammed two police vehicles, injuring one officer before speeding away. RCMP helicopter Air 1 was able to follow the suspect vehicle as it fled into New Westminster, where New West Police followed it. The vehicle then struck a civilian car, causing minor injuries to its female driver, and finally came to a stop because of heavy traffic. The suspect fled on foot into a car dealership, where he apparently tried to steal another vehicle, but was arrested by police without further incident.

by Jeff Nagel THOUSANDS of rental apart-

ments in aging suburban buildings across Metro Vancouver are in growing danger of being torn down, a new study warns. More than 6,300 units built before 1980 – or 13 per cent of the total dating back to the 1970s or earlier – are already at moderate to high risk of loss to redevelopment, according to the report prepared for Metro Vancouver. And the proportion of at-risk rental apartment stock in the region outside Vancouver proper could climb to 30 per cent within a decade, it says. Most cities have some limits on the conversion of rentals to condos, but the report notes few track rental housing or have policies in place to retain or replace the stock. The cities with the most to lose may be White Rock, where more than 1,000 rental units or 82 per cent of the total pre-1980 rental stock are estimated to be at risk, and North Vancouver District, where 840 units or 70 per cent of the older stock are rated at risk. Other cities with large numbers of aging, at risk apartments include:

• North Vancouver City, with 1,553 units rated at risk or 23 per cent of the pre-1980 stock. • Richmond, with 1,078 at risk units, or 48 per cent • Surrey, with 451 units at risk, or eight per cent. • Burnaby, with 379 units or three per cent at risk. • West Vancouver, with 309 units or 17 per cent at risk. Richard Walton, Mayor of North Vancouver District, said the statistics don’t show the full rental picture, because rented strata units and basement suites weren’t included. But he agreed the outlook is troubling for older apartment buildings, many of which are run down. The analysis rated units at risk if the value of the land for redevelopment exceeds the current value based on the stream of rental income. Walton noted the land value is typically rising faster than the rent, while the maintenance costs are also climbing and many buildings face big bills in the years ahead. “The rents they’re getting are well below the return on the value of the land alone,” Walton said. “The economics are just

very challenging.” Old rental buildings – threeand four-storey wood frame walkups – tend to be more affordable but they’re also often in areas that cities want to densify because of proximity to transit routes. Walton said cities may let developers build higher and denser on such sites as part of negotiated deals to retain rental market housing. But he said there’s no escaping the fact the new units will rent for significantly more money than before, increasing the squeeze on affordability. He and other Metro reps say the results underscore their push for reforms at the provincial and federal levels to foster more construction and replacement of purpose-built rental apartments. Preferred tax treatment for rental housing would help, they say, or perhaps a tax credit for owners who sell rental buildings to a non-profit operator. “We need a national housing policy,” Walton said. But he noted policies on affordable housing that work in the rest of Canada don’t fit in Metro Vancouver, because of the high land prices here.

Metro opposes weakening fish habitat rules Region concerned Ottawa will redraw act to aid developers by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER is calling on the federal government to maintain fish habitat protection rules in response to widespread fears that Ottawa is poised to greatly weaken the Fisheries Act to speed development. The concern was sparked by a leak of an internal Fisheries and Oceans Canada document last month that suggests the actâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ban on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitatâ&#x20AC;? may be watered down to instead â&#x20AC;&#x153;reduce the adverse effectâ&#x20AC;? on fish of economic, cultural or ecological value. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have good reason to expect this to be diluted,â&#x20AC;?

Onni brings ﬁnal high-rise project to Victoria Hill

Find the great outdoors at Parkside If you’re looking for amazing views, a family-friendly community and beautiful homes, look no further than Onni’s Parkside at Victoria Hill, now open for previewing. “You’d be hard-pressed to find something in New West like it,” says Onni’s Nick Belmar. Encompassing 226 one- and twobedroom condominiums and 22 townhomes, Parkside is the final high-rise tower in the Victoria Hill development. The 22-storey tower will offer beautiful views from every home, and the atmosphere is second-to-none. The Victoria Hill project has been in development for over a decade, and

will eventually include more than 1,200 homes set on 65 acres. More than 40 of those acres are green space. “Not a lot of projects can offer these natural amenities,” Belmar says. The building is surrounded by trails, and Queens Park and Glenbrook Ravine are next door. When completed Parkside will include amenities such as a chef ’s kitchen, outdoor pool, community garden and a fitness studio. “(For) brand-new construction in a community like this, the price is unbeatable,” Belmar says. Homes start at $249,900. For more information visit onni.com/parkside or call 604-523-0733.

European-style living

Leave the car behind at Morgan Crossing by Kerry Vital

When you live at South Surrey’s Morgan Crossing, loneliness is a thing of the past. With more than 60 shops and services right outside your front door, including Winners, Steve Nash Sports Club and Thrifty Foods, there is literally something for everyone, and you’ll rapidly run out of excuses for being a couch potato. Creating a community feel is the core of the entire concept, says Bryan Woolley of Fingerprint Strategies. Developed by Larco Investments, the company behind the Village at Park Royal, Morgan Crossing has the feel of a European-style village. One of the advantages in living in Morgan Crossing is its easy walkability and proximity to nearly everything you would need on a day-to-day basis. With shops, restaurants and fitness right outside your front door, it won’t take long to run your daily errands. “You can go in your pajamas and your slippers if you want!” laughs Woolley. Larco has been very successful in creating a village feel when you walk into Morgan Crossing, and Woolley says that there is a wide range of demographics buying homes, from 19-year-olds just starting out to seniors downsizing. “If you don’t like people, this isn’t the place to be,” Woolley says, adding that when you walk out your door, you’re almost guaranteed to meet someone that you know. The homes at Morgan Crossing are chic and modern, with generous patios and balconies, electric fireplaces and hardwood laminate floors throughout the main living areas. The kitchens feature European laminate cabinets, soft-close drawers (no more door slamming), granite and silestone countertops and an elegant glass or mosaic stainless-steel backsplash. The bathrooms are perfect for relaxing after a long day, with chic porcelain and ceramic tile flooring, granite and marble countertops and roomy tubs with hand-set ceramic tile surrounds. There are many different floorplans available, ranging from one to three bedrooms, some with dens. With the number of plans available, you will have no trouble finding the perfect home for you. Looking to be right in the middle of the action? Finding a home on the main street would work for you.

Perhaps a mountain view is your style? Morgan Crossing has several homes with that gorgeous scenery. “The biggest draw is the village,” Woolley says. “You’re not spending time going to the disparate pieces of your life ... it’s a more sustainable lifestyle. We don’t get too many people driving between stores.” One of the great things about living in Morgan Crossing is the variety of community events that are held frequently, including car shows, outdoor movie nights and festivals. The community is “so vibrant and interesting,” Woolley says. With the warmer weather on its way, he expects that the outdoor walkways will soon be bustling. Homes start at $234,900. For more information, visit morgancrossing.ca or call 604-582-1336.

“

If you don’t like people, this isn’t the place to be,” says Bryan Woolley of Fingerprint Strategies.

Submitted photos

There are plenty of things to do in Morgan Crossing, from checking out the latest styles to grabbing groceries for a casual dinner party. The homes at Morgan Crossing, including The Summit House, top, are elegant and modern, with plenty of outdoor space for entertaining.

Buy a Power Smart home, save three ways Save now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efďŹ cient. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, an energyefďŹ cient home is more comfortable too. Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to think about when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying a new home. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home. Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Smart New Home program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.â&#x20AC;? An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy. The first benefit youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Buying an energy-efďŹ cient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Smart New Home program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.â&#x20AC;?

Insurance. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money in your pocket every month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more. The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs. There are other benefits as well, Overholt says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while using less energy overall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.â&#x20AC;? The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy. For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.

NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home. Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home. And since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all while saving you money for years to come.

REGIONAL BRIEFS

No plan to twin George Massey Tunnel spearheading a petition opposing Kinder Morgan’s plan to twin its oil pipeline through the Lower Mainland and dramatically increase the number of tankers loading in Burnaby. “An oil spill in Burrard Inlet would spell disaster for the environment and all the municipalities in the region,” Hurtig said, calling the economic impact on tourism, fisheries and wildlife

“catastrophic.” He applauded mayors from Vancouver and Burnaby for opposing the pipeline plan, which would see 300 to 360 tankers a year visit, up 10-fold from 32 last year. “The clean-up would last decades and be much more difficult than other spills because of the heavy nature of the bitumen that will be transported through Burrard Inlet.”

More than 1,600 people have signed the petition, which can be found at www.avaaz. org/en/petition/No_ Oil_Tankers_in_Burrard_Inlet/

South of Fraser loses: Watts Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said TransLink had no choice but to freeze bus service expansion plans after Metro Vancouver may-

ors withdrew approval for a property tax increase to pay for it. She said the decision, which shelves express bus routes on King George Boulevard and Highway 1, will have a significant impact on Surrey and South of Fraser communities. “Surrey residents have put $164 million per year into the system and now there is no money for the communities that are expected

to take 70 per cent of the future growth in the region,” Watts said. The tax increase was to be a fall back plan if the province didn’t grant TransLink a new funding source, such as a vehicle levy. The province is sending internal auditors to help find savings at TransLink and won’t consider new revenue sources until the results are in. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Gas tax take down, TransLink riders up More motorists avoid fuelling here – or paying tolls by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK’S much-hated gas tax

isn’t pulling in as much cash as it used to, as motorists either gas up outside the region or simply drive less. The transportation authority took in $312 million in 2011 from the fuel tax, according to its annual report. That was down nearly $12 million from 2010 as motorists bought 5.9 per cent less gasoline or diesel in the region. “High prices of fuel and a strong Canadian dollar would have contributed to the decline in fuel sales volume, which likely migrated to the Fraser Valley Regional District and Whatcom County,” the report said. It said other factors likely include more fuel-efficient vehicles, increased use of transit or cycling, and less commuting overall. “If the trend continues, the impact of this reduction could be in the magnitude of a $450- to $550-million revenue loss in a 10-year period.” The gas tax that goes to TransLink increased this month from 15 to 17 cents a litre and the hike is expected to raise an extra $40

million a year. But concern that the gas tax may be an increasingly unstable source going forward is one reason area mayors have talked about using other revenue sources, like a vehicle levy or road pricing, to fund TransLink’s longer term expansion. TransLink says 8.6 per cent more passengers took transit in Metro Vancouver last year, setting a new ridership record. The annual report also says it spent $56 million less than it budgeted. But officials say the savings have no bearing on TransLink’s need for an extra $30 million per year to cover the transit expansion committed to under the Moving Forward program approved by area mayors last year. Money from the gas tax is dedicated to TransLink’s share of building the Evergreen Line. Overall, TransLink took in nearly $1.2 billion in revenue and spent $34 million more than that. It covered that deficit by drawing down its reserves to $288 million, which was less of a reduction than planned. The reserve fund is expected to run out in 2016 but officials say they continue to search for

efficiencies to stretch it further. TransLink took in a record $444 million from transit fares and the higher ridership was partly due to more passengers taking transit for the Stanley Cup playoffs. Property taxes generated $298 million, up nearly three per cent. Tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge generated $33.7 million for TransLink, $4 million or 10.8 per cent less than expected. Nearly 9.8 million vehicles crossed the toll bridge in 2011 – up 12.6 per cent from about 8.7 million in 2010 – but well short of TransLink’s budget target of 10.5 million. TransLink expects the Golden Ears numbers may improve in 2013, after tolls are added to the Port Mann Bridge this December. Transit costs accounted for $816 million – two-thirds of total spending – while TransLink corporate costs accounted for $70 million, $46 million went to roads and bridges and $27 million funded the Transit Police. Nearly $250 million went to either debt payments, interest or capital repayments for the Golden Ears Bridge. jnagel@surreyleader.com

TransLink Commissioner Martin Crilly releases 103-page report along with mandate to cut costs

Martin Crilly Instead, it says key areas to cut include shaving slack time in bus schedules that are double industry norms, rethinking the increasingly costly use of community shuttles instead of conventional buses, and sending more HandyDart passengers via taxi instead. The commissioner directed TransLink to cut costs $5 to $10 million in 2013, $15 to $20 million in 2014 and $20 to $30 million in 2015. Crilly is directing TransLink to find modest administration savings of two per cent in its head office and bus division to save $3 million per year. Administration makes up 5.2 per cent of TransLink costs, up from 4.7 per cent in 2009, when a previous review ordered by the province suggested that was high. Crilly said his proposed cut would return it to 2009 levels. Compared to other systems, he found, TransLink appears to

have too much equipment and staff, even after accounting for its vast service area. “Internal trends show increasing costs and declining productivity in labour and equipment utilization, as well as high overhead,” he said. Crilly also said TransLink budgets are overly conservative, and its $288 million reserve fund is excessive – areas that can be trimmed to save money. The wages of TransLink’s unionized bus drivers and other staff make up a huge chunk of its costs, but Crilly was reluctant to discuss those, saying he cannot interfere in labour negotiations. Up to 10 per cent of HandyDart calls can be handed off to taxis instead, but Crilly said TransLink isn’t fully using that option. “The cost is $36 to carry one person on HandyDart on average now,” he said. “It’s gone from second best to second worst among Canadian peers.” He said community shuttles seemed to be a great innovation to handle thinly used routes, but said their costs have risen too fast. Crilly also compared fares here to ones at other major Canadian cities, concluding twoand three-zone passengers here get a poor deal, and can travel farther for less money elsewhere. He did not examine fare evasion because his review focused on reducing expenses, not increasing revenue. Overall, he said, TransLink provides a “very high quality service” that has improved enormously over the years. Mayors Council chair Richard Walton said he hopes the findings and that of a forthcoming provincial audit improve public confidence that the system is well run. “Most of the communities in Metro Vancouver think they are subsidizing TransLink

Games’ torch lit up Youth take stage in ceremony at Bear Creek Park Black Press WITH JUST under 100

days to go until the opening ceremony of the Surrey 2012 BC Summer Games, the official lighting of the Games torch took place last Thursday, April 19 at the running track at Bear Creek Park. Spectators were entertained by a large contingent of Surrey youth performers, beginning with the Maple Green Elementary Steel Drummers. The ceremony culminated with a group of young Surrey athletes representing 16 of the 20 BC Summer Games sports taking part in a short torch relay on the running track, after which Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, SurreyTynehead MLA Dave Hayer and a Surrey athlete lit the ceremonial Games torch. The Games will be held July 19-22 and will attract up to 2,818 athletes with an average age of 14 years from across the province to take part in 20 sporting events at 15 venues throughout the city. A total of 3,500 local volunteers will be required to stage the Games Learn more at www. 2012bcsummergames.ca newsroom@surreyleader.com

that lots of organic manure and compost used in a garden and supplemented with some organically-based fertilizers is a practical solution. The idea is to enjoy as much flavour and receive as many minerals as possible from our home grown vegetables with the least amount of labour and cost. How you solve this area of concern is up to you, of course. When you get down to planting seeds, there are a few tips Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to share. First of all, â&#x20AC;&#x153;bargain seedsâ&#x20AC;? are not a bargain. Buy the best hybrid and old reliable varieties that work well in your garden, but also keep experimenting with new varieties to see if you can improve the flavour, versatility and production time. I freeze all my vegetable seeds for 48 hours before sowing to help stratify them. This should speed up and improve germination. Most people plant their seeds far too deep. The deeper you go, the colder and damper

it is down there. Keep your seeds up high where itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s warmer and drier. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why raised beds are always so effective. For difficultto-germinate varieties, like carrots, parsnips and beets, try throwing them in a plastic bag with a tablespoon of rooting powder. Shake the bag up thoroughly to coat the seed before planting, and see if that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help. The last concern I have is the amount of space we use for our gardens. Maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just me, but I often wonder why most European and Oriental gardeners have small gardens and most of us have huge ones. The fact is that we are needlessly wasting space, fertil-

izer, compost, water and oodles of time in our gardens. Keep your pathways to a minimum and increase the size of your rows. Wide-row gardening is the norm around the world, except in North America. Wide-row gardening is space saving and allows a longer harvest period. The outside vegetables always mature first, while the ones on the inside, because they are more shaded, mature later. Now that daytime temperatures are up around 10Â°C and we seem to be past night frosts, most cool loving vegetables can go in now. Be patient, however, when it comes to planting tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers etc. They need temperatures well above 10Â°C. Usually the end of May is the right time to plant these heat lovers. Have a nice weekend in your garden! Brian Minter is a master gardener who operates Minter Gardens in Chilliwack.

â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the beginning of our vegetable gardening season. But before you lift even one shovel full of soil, let me offer a few suggestions on how to achieve better success with your vegetable garden this year. We tend to be creatures of habit. Why not move your vegetable garden to a different part of the yard? Old lawn areas offer the greatest potential for new gardens and even if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too late to change for this year, consider it for next season. A little rearranging of the landscape is often a good idea. Insects and diseases come and go in rather predictable cycles, and if you break up that cycle, you may just minimize some pesky problems. In the Lower Mainland, once your garden is cultivated and ready for planting, apply some Dolopril lime at the rate of one bag per 2,000 square feet. Not only does it make the soil less acidic, but it also adds valuable magnesium and the calcium that tomatoes need so much. Remember, however, that potatoes and lime do not get on well together, so keep lime away from the spudgrowing area. Compost can be added any time over the spring planting period, but it is most beneficial applied when rototilling or cultivating the garden soil. Many of the nutrients in organic compost and manures are quickly available, and some are lost if left in the soil too long before the plants go in. Speaking of compost, a research paper from Rutgerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University compared the mineral content of â&#x20AC;&#x153;organically grownâ&#x20AC;? versus â&#x20AC;&#x153;inorganically grownâ&#x20AC;? vegetables, and the difference was astounding. According to this report, there are 87.83 percent fewer minerals and trace elements in non-organically grown foods. This is important to note because part of the reason we grow fresh vegetables is to receive the many vitamins and minerals found in fresh vegetables. I admire the folks who try to grow 100 per cent organically, but sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not as easy. I personally believe

Rugby, soccer among high school sports to go ahead during teachers’ job action

Track and field still on hold

by Rick Kupchuk

CYCLISTS AND golfers are out of

luck, but most other high school athletes looking to compete in provincial championships late next month should be able to do so. B.C. championships in eight spring season sports were put into question last week when 73 per cent of the voting membership of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation cast their ballot in favour of withdrawing involvement in extra-curricular high school activities. The action is to protest the government’s proposed Education Improvement Act, which imposes a settlement on public school teachers. Teachers Sue Keenan withdrawing their services as coaches or sport administrators has led to mountain biking and golf led to the cancellation of their provincial championships. But B.C. School Sports executive director Sue Keenan said most other sports are a go. “Girls soccer, rugby, tennis and badminton are on,” she said Wednesday afternoon. “The entire provincial experience might not be the same without banquets and (souvenir) clothing.

“The entire provincial experience might not be the same....”

HARRY HUNT / BLACK PRESS

Several Clayton Heights Nightriders tackle Andrew Orolegio of the D.W. Poppy Redhawks during a high school rugby game in Langley earlier this month. Rugby is one of the sports which will continue during job action by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. “But the commissions are doing the best they can.” One of the largest sports by participation is track and field, which hasn’t made a decision on whether they will proceed. Registration numbers will be tallied this week, and a decision is expected soon after. “Everyone is asking about track

and field, but we won’t know until late Friday or early next week,” said Keenan. “It’s an event that includes thousands of athletes, so the (track and field) commission is doing their due diligence. They want to make sure there’s enough kids able to compete.” Much of the high school track

and field season for local schools has been wiped out, but the May 15-17 Fraser Valley Championships are on. It was announced earlier this week the meet – which qualifies athletes for the B.C. Championships June 1-2 at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby – will take place in Langley.

However, there will only be a Senior division for athletes in Grades 10-12. The Junior (Grades 9-10) and Grade 9 championships are canceled for 2012. Also canceled this year are three qualifying events leading up to the Fraser Valley Championship meet, including tomorrow’s Coquitlam/ Delta regional qualifying meet and the Surrey District Championships next week at South Surrey Athletic Park, North Surrey Secondary and Bear Creek Park. High school girls soccer is going ahead, although four teams have withdrawn from the Fraser Valley West Senior AAA zone due to the job action. As a result, the season has ended for players on the Guildford Park Sabres, Kwantlen Park Timbervolves, Frank Hurt Hornets and Johnston Heights Eagles. The Fleetwood Park Dragons will host the Senior AAA provincial championships May 31 to June 2 at Newton Athletic Park. Kamloops will host the Senior AA competition on the same dates. As with most sports, more volunteers will be needed to replace the teachers unable to assist with the operation of the tournaments. “We’re getting great support from many parents who are stepping up,” Keenan said. “We have to mention that.” Keenan advises athletes, parents, community coaches and anyone else seeking information to go to the BSSS website at www. bcschoolsports.ca. “We update the website as fast as we get information,” said Keenan.

Blue Jays win two of four in Victoria North Delta splits, Whalley Chiefs go winless in North Vancouver by Rick Kupchuk AFTER GETTING blown out 11-0 in the first

of four games in Victoria last weekend, the North Delta Blue Jays rebounded to win two of the next three to remain in the top eight of the B.C. Premier Baseball League. The Jays, now at 4-5 (won-lost) on the season, split a pair of double headers against the Victoria Mariners and Victoria Eagles. North Delta managed just two singles in the first game Saturday, which lasted just five innings after the Mariners scored six runs in the opening inning and had 11 runs by the end of three frames. The Jays shook off the first game drubbing to hang on for a 6-5 victory in the rematch. Second baseman Clint Taylor paced the North Delta offence with a single, a double and two runs scored. Shane Wlodarczak was the winning

pitcher, allowing five earned runs on seven hits and five walks, collecting eight strikeouts. Brett Sakaki earned the save, allowing just a walk in one inning pitched. In the first of two games against the Eagles Sunday morning, the Jays fell behind 5-0 after three innings and went on to a 7-6 loss. North Delta centre fielder Brad Antchak was a perfect four-for-four at the plate, with Taylor adding another pair of singles. Wlodarczak keyed a Blue Jays rally in the sixth inning with a bases-loaded double to score three runs. Blue Jays pitcher Sodai Hoshi, an 18-year-old student at L.A. Matheson Secondary, pitched a complete-game six-hitter to get the win in Sunday’s second game. Hoshi allowed three earned runs while striking out five Victoria batters

in the 5-4 victory. Antchak improved his batting average to .389 with a two-for-four effort at the plate. Wlodarczak had two hits, including his third double of the season, and Sakaki contributed with two singles and a pair of stolen bases. Jordy Cunningham scored twice and drove in two more runs with a double. North Delta is on the road again next weekend, playing four games in Kelowna against the league-leading Okanagan Athletics. ■ The Whalley Chiefs continue to struggle early in the B.C. Premier Baseball League season, losing twice in North Vancouver to the North Shore Twins Saturday afternoon. The Twins blanked the visitors 10-0 in the first game, then edged the Chiefs 6-5 in game two. Whalley, which has now lost six straight games, dropped to 1-7 (won-

lost). A two-out single from Will Motley in the third inning was the only offence the Chiefs could manage in game one. The Twins rocked Whalley pitchers for 14 hits over four innings, leading 3-0 after one inning, 6-0 after two, and 8-0 at the end of three innings. Whalley was a half-inning away from ending the losing streak in game two, but North Shore crossed the plate twice in the bottom of the seventh inning, then got the winner in the first extra inning. Brandon Chernoff pitched seven innings for the Chiefs, allowing just two earned runs on seven hits and four walks. Five errors led to three unearned Twins runs. The Chiefs will be in Coquitlam Saturday, taking to the field against the 4-5 Coquitlam Reds at Mundy Park for a double header. The first pitch is at 11 a.m.

Brossoit stopped 77 of 78 shots in the first two games of the WHL’s Eastern Conference final, helping Edmonton to a pair of 6-1 victories over the Moose Jaw Warriors.

United teams in semifinals Surrey chases Provincial Cup

by Rick Kupchuk THE SURREY United

Soccer Club has a pair of teams in the semifinal round of Provincial Cup competition. Both the men’s and women’s team won quarterfinal contests last weekend to move within two victories of a B.C. championship and a berth in the national championships next October. The Surrey United Firefighters blanked West Van FC 1-0 in West Vancouver in a men’s quarterfinal contest, while the Surrey United women’s team began their pursuit of a ninth consecutive B.C. championship with a 12-1 thrashing of Castaways United Sunday morning in Cloverdale. The women will host the North Shore Renegades next Sunday (Apr. 29) at 10 a.m. at Cloverdale Athletic Park. The Firefighters placed fourth in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League’s (VMSL) Premier Division, but are the highestranked team from that group still alive in the men’s Provincial Cup. A goal from midfielder Vince Stewart in the 90th minute lifted Surrey to their win, with Paul Shepherd earning the shutout. Of the four semifinalists, three are from the VMSL. First-place ICST Pegasus, the defending provincial champions, lost 2-0 to the Coquitlam Metro Ford Wolves in the round-of-16. The Wolves then upset the third-place Columbus FC 1-0 in quarterfinal play last Sunday.

Surrey will visit PoCo FC this weekend, while Coquitlam will host the Delta Hurricanes of the VMSL in the other semifinal. Delta, the fifth place team in this past season’s Premier Division, eliminated Gordon Head of the Vancouver Island league 2-1 Saturday in Victoria. Woody Bradford of Delta headed home the game’s first goal in the 14th minute, and the lead lasted for more than a half hour. Gordon Head knotted the game with 25 minutes to play, but the game was tied for less than five minutes. Cam Hundal set up Amar Mander for the winning goal. United will face a PoCo FC team which had no trouble finishing atop the Premier Division of the Fraser Valley Soccer League. PoCo won 17 of 18 league games, tying once to finish 23 points clear of second place North Delta FC. PoCo defeated North Delta 2-0 in a Provincial cup quarterfinal contest in Port Coquitlam Saturday afternoon. The Surrey FC Coyotes edged the Richmond Athletics 2-1 Sunday night at Newton Athletic Park to move on to the semifinal round of the men’s Provincial B Cup competition. The Coyotes will visit the Richmond All-Blacks in semifinal play next weekend. The All-Blacks knocked out North Delta’s GN Sporting Club 4-0 last Sunday afternoon in Richmond.

Heartburn Reflux Great Sex

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick #39 relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different.

Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance.

Choristers converge ‘Sweet n’ Hot’ choral festival in Surrey next week welcomes singers from across B.C. Black Press

or the first time in its nearly 35 year history, the BC Choral Federation’s Chorfest event is coming to Surrey. From May 4 to 6, Pacific Academy (10238 168 St.) will host nearly 200 singers from throughout the province who will join the annual event organized by the BC Choral Federation in conjunction with the Coastal Sound Adult Choir and the Vancouver Orpheus Male Voice Choir. “We’re thrilled to be bringing Chorfest to Surrey,” said Willi Zwozdesky, executive director of the BC Choral Federation. “We have been hoping to host a Fraser Valley Chorfest for some time, and this year provided the perfect combination of host choirs and the right venue to make this happen. It will be an excellent opportunity to showcase Michael Grice the choral community in the Fraser Valley – which is steadily growing.” Singers will work throughout the weekend with Dennis Coleman, the acclaimed conductor for the Seattle Men’s Chorus and the Seattle Women’s Chorus. The weekend will culminate with a concert at Chandos Pattison Auditorium (at Pacific Academy) on May 5 at 2:30 p.m. The repertoire for this year’s event, called Chorfest 2012–Sweet n’ Hot, will be focused on sweet romance and hot jazz standards from about 1920-1950. “This year’s Chorfest will be truly different from previous events,” said Michael Grice, conductor for the Coastal Sound Adult Choir.

“This time, the entire event will be dedicated to popular jazz music...”

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Coastal Sound Adult Choir has helped organize and will participate in the upcoming Chorfest 2012 festival, being held in Surrey for the ﬁrst time. “Traditionally, Chorfest has featured classical or traditional choral repertoire. This time, the entire event will be dedicated to popular jazz music – it’s going to be challenging and a lot of fun.” In addition to the usual mass choir format, this year’s event is offering a vocal jazz option. Up to 24 auditioned members will work with Réjean Marois from Capilano University’s Jazz Studies Program and perform their own repertoire. “We are very fortunate to have two reputed conductors coming to work with our singers this year,” explained Liana Savard, music director for Vancouver Orpheus Male Voice Choir. “Both Réjean Marois and Dennis Coleman are integral parts of the amazing

Pacific Northwest choral scene. We would be hard pressed to find better talent than this to offer to our Chorfest singers. I encourage everyone to come be a part of this amazing learning experience.” Chorfest is an annual event held in May alternating locations within the Lower Mainland and outside of the Lower Mainland. Highlighting interesting and challenging works, the weekend event is specifically designed for amateur and community-based choral singers. Singers of all levels and ability are invited. For more information, including registration, visit www.chorfest2012.org or contact the BC Choral Federation 604-7339687 or toll free 1-877-733-9688.

Divorce advice – from the ‘trenches’ by Sheila Reynolds IN 2005, Lisa Thomson made the most difficult decision of her life.

It was April Fools Day, but it was no joke – she was leaving her husband. From the outside, their marriage appeared charmed: he was a successful executive and she was a stay-at-home mom raising their son and daughter. But inside, she felt empty and unloved. She wanted out. Thomson hoped she and her spouse could remain on good terms. After all, they’d been married for 18 years. In the five years that followed, however, she not only became all too familiar with the legal system, but experienced unexpected familial and social fallout. In her new book, The Great Escape: A Girl’s Guide to Leaving a Marriage, the Delta resident shares her experiences and personal stories in an effort to assist others going through divorce. “I’m passionate about helping other women because of everything I’ve been through. I feel I’m a lot wiser than I was,” she says. “The idea of the book is to give a real guide from the trenches.” The book, says Thomson, is geared toward women but could be helpful for the “economically dependent” spouse. “It’s such a tough, emotional thing to go through” for anyone, she says.

The guide begins with a quiz for the reader to analyze their situation and then proceeds through the actual departure process and ongoing challenges. Thomson says while the stereotype tends to be that the man leaves the woman (generally for a younger woman), when it doesn’t happen that way, outsiders are often judgmental. “If you’re a woman and you leave, you don’t get the same amount of support from family and friends,” she says. “You may not be the victim, but you’re in just as much pain.” The book deals with budgeting, as resources can suddenly be dramatically reduced. And it talks about the parenting aspects, such as how to tell your children and how to deal with the confusion and conflict that often comes from shared custody and co-parenting. She also broaches the topic of “parental alienation” where one spouse will say and do things to turn the child against the other spouse. “I had no idea,” admits Thomson. “I’d never heard of it.” It also steers readers through the legal process and provides basics such as definitions of legal terms. “If you’ve never dealt with a lawyer before, it can be very intimidating.” To purchase The Great Escape: A Girl’s Guide to Leaving a Marriage, visit www.lisathomsonlive.com

They’ll have fry with that GRADE 3 STUDENTS at Surrey Christian School released

salmon fry into the Serpentine River at Tynehead Park on April 13. The little creatures had arrived as eggs in early January and the students watched their development from eggs to alevin and then to fry. The students monitored the water temperature, water quality and feeding times. Since the tank was placed in a main hallway at the school, students got a bit attached to them. As they watched their young fry swim away, cries of “Take care! See you in three years!” were heard from students, already anticipating their return as adults to spawn. Surrey Christian School has taken part in a Salmonid in the Classroom program for six years.

A by-the-book appointment KWANTLEN POLYTECHNIC University has announced the
