Surrey’s top cop retiring

Three years after Steven Dodd’s murder, family pleads for help

Who killed their son?

Fraser MacRae steps down in June

by Sheila Reynolds

THERE WERE several people in the house in Surrey where Steven Dodd was shot in the head in February 2009.

But all of the witnesses fled the scene, and three years later, police have been unable to identify the killer.

Steven’s parents, John and Silvana, were hoping to speak to reporters on Tuesday to ask for the public’s assistance in solving their son’s murder, but were unable to as John was recently hospitalized with terminal cancer and likely has just weeks to live.

“My husband sure wanted to see some resolution to this,” said Silvana in a phone call to The Leader. “But now he won’t.”

According to his family, Steven Dodd was sexually assaulted when he was 13 and lived with his secret for more than 10 years before telling his Steven Dodd family about the assault. The person who assaulted him, his parents say, was the one who first introduced him to drugs.

“His drug use escalated and got out of control,” said a written statement from Dodd family. “This was how he managed and dealt with the abuse he suffered as a young boy. The need to have the drugs got the better of him and he was eventually led by his addiction.”

On Feb. 27, 2009, police say Steven, Silvana Dodd 27, went to a crack shack near 130 Street and 108 Avenue in North Surrey and was shot in the head. He remained on life support in hospital for a week before succumbing to his injuries.

The Dodds say Steven, the third of four sons, was not a gang member or drug dealer, but an addict in a fragile mental state.

In spite of his drug use, they say, he never missed get-togethers and his loss has left the “close-knit” family shattered.

emotions that he leaves as officer in charge of the Surrey RCMP. “Frankly, I’ve gone through a bit of an emotional roller coaster,” MacRae told The Leader in an interview Wednesday. “Not in terms of second thoughts or reservations, I’m absolutely comfortable with my decision.

The enormity of the decision is not lost on me, and it hits me hard sometimes.”

He’s going to miss working with what he describes as an extremely capable detachment.

MacRae has been the head of the Surrey detachment since 2004, leading a team of 661 officers and more than 250 support staff.

In 2010, he was awarded the Order Fraser MacRae of Merit medal from the Governor General of Canada and was also named Assistant Commissioner with the RCMP. The reason for his departure has nothing to do with politics or the relationship he has within the RCMP, he says.

Simply, MacRae says when an officer approaches 35 years service, they tend to think about retirement.

He reached that level of service last October, and announced his pending retirement this week.

Murder: More than a dozen witnesses From page 1 Mom Silvana said Steven was struggling to get clean and had spent six months in recovery not long before he was shot.

“He wanted to have a family and a house and get successful and that didn’t happen,” she said. “Our goal was to help him get clean. I didn’t want him going in the streets so we tried to help him as much as we could at home. I knew that he had a lot of potential and I just wanted to see him get well.”

In their prepared statement, the Dodds pleaded with potential witnesses to their son’s killing to do the right thing.

“Anyone struggling like Steven was knows that murder is not warranted... make the right choice and come forward with information that will lead us to who is responsible for taking our son from us. We never gave up on him and we ask that you help us stay true to that.”

Police investigators echoed the call for public assistance.

“We know there were over a dozen people inside the crack shack at the time of Steven’s murder, many of them struggling with addiction themselves.

Jennifer Pound Investigators are hopeful that witnesses may have made significant life changes and are in various stages of addiction recovery and in a better position, physically and mentally, to come forward with information that may assist investigators, “ says Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT).

“We want to ask those people to recognize how unfair and horrific this murder was and to come forward.”

Anyone who thinks they may have information about Steven Dodd’s death is asked to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-4448 or email ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

A texting pedestrian cuts across King George Boulevard near 98 Avenue on Tuesday, where police were conducting a ticketing blitz against infractions. The woman was issued a $109 fine.

Police blitz targets pedestrians During March, Surrey RCMP will be watching for – and ticketing – jaywalkers

by Kevin Diakiw POLICE ARE urging driver caution and pedestrian responsibility in hopes

City of Surrey engineers are waiting on the results from a report indicating how many people are jaywalking in that area and have a planned response of crossings down King George.

The first will be a pedestrian crossing at 97A Avenue, followed by a full signal-controlled light at 98B Avenue.

In future, as the City Centre develops further, there will be a pedestrian crossing at 101 Avenue, full lighted crossing at 103 Avenue and eventually another at 106 Avenue.

“It’s definitely high on our priority list for pedestrian safety in the City Centre,” said General Manager of Engineering Vincent LaLonde.

Meanwhile, the Surrey RCMP traffic section will be issuing tickets for such infractions as pedestrian jaywalking, crossing against lights or walks signals, and drivers who fail to yield to pedestrians. The fines for these types of infractions are $109 and up.

of reducing the carnage on Surrey streets, as people on foot continue to get struck by cars at an alarming rate.

During the month of March, Surrey RCMP’s traffic section is conducting an awareness and enforcement campaign aimed at pedestrian traffic safety.

The campaign comes after a rash of serious accidents, two of which sent a 16-year-old girl and a man 56, to hospital, where they remain in critical condition.

“Although traffic fatalities in our region have decreased, we continue to see pedestrian-involved motor vehicle collisions occur throughout the city, especially in high traffic locations,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger.

Last year, one in four fatal collisions involved pedestrians.

Thousands rally for striking teachers Union members march on the B.C. legislature

by Tom Fletcher BETWEEN 4,000 and 5,000 union

Members of the Surrey Teachers’ Association gather in Victoria on Tuesday.

members marched on the B.C. legislature Tuesday to protest legislation putting an end to seven months of strike action by public school teachers.

Teachers and other union members came by bus, plane and ferry from around the province to demand that the government withdraw Bill 22, which will impose a cooling-off period and appoint a mediator to seek a settlement within the government’s “net zero” wage mandate for B.C.’s 41,000 teachers.

B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) president Susan Lambert addressed the crowd to cheers and chants of “shame” as she described 10 years of government action to “strip” BCTF contracts. Bill 22 repeals 2002 legislation struck down by the B.C. Supreme Court, but reinstates many of their provisions, Lambert said.

Lambert also denounced new performance evaluations and disciplinary measures for teachers.

“One bad report and you’re gone,” she said.

B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair told the crowd the

restriction of teacher rights to strike and bargain working conditions are a blow to all unions. He and Lambert both said the government refused to put the year-long teacher dispute to an independent mediator, and have restricted any settlement to fund wage and benefit increases through savings found within the education system.

The BCTF has demanded a 16 per cent wage increase and benefit improvements that the employers’ negotiators say will cost taxpayers an extra $2 billion a year.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts is taking on three other mayors, including Langley City’s Peter Fassbender, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart and Abbotsford’s Bruce Banman, in the Healthy Community Challenge 2012.

Dianne Watts ready for fitness challenge Four mayors competing – kickoff events take place Saturday in Surrey

by Kevin Diakiw THE HORSE that threw Mayor Dianne

Watts last July may have fractured her back, but it failed to break her spirit.

Watts is still recovering from breaking two vertebrae in the B.C. Interior last summer, but is nonetheless mounting a fitness challenge starting on March 10.

She’s taking on three other mayors, including Langley City’s Peter Fassbender, Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart and Abbotsford’s Bruce Banman, as part of the Healthy Community Challenge 2012.

The three-month venture encourages participants to get active and lead healthier lifestyles For the politicians, the friendly jabs have already begun.

Watts opened up the war of wit by saying she has an advantage over the pot-bellied mayoral men.

“I don’t have a gut. The boys have belly fat,” she joked.

Stewart responded with chivalry by sending Watts a large box of Purdy’s chocolates. She says she hasn’t eaten them yet.

However, she volleyed back by dispatching an extra-large meat-lover’s pizza to Stewart.

Fun aside, they all get down to business on March 10, and for Watts, the challenge begins with watching what she eats.

Already a health food fanatic, Surrey’s mayor says she’ll “fine-tune it a bit.”

That means eating more fish and less red meat.

As for the workouts (the mayors have committed to three a week), those are going to take a little more forethought and expert advice.

“The program has to be tailor-made for my body,” Watts said.

She says she’ll be working on some core-strength, but doesn’t know yet what that will look like.

Any workout she undertakes will be in close consultation with her doctor, she says.

She thinks she’ll be doing a bit more yoga and walking in order to be gentle to her mending spine.

For each positive activity – which could range from simply remembering to eat breakfast to going for a walk after work – participants earn points. Those points are then added to a larger pool and sorted by the participants’ communities in an effort to find which city has gained the most points.

Prizes will be awarded for the top individual point-getters, while other rewards will be handed out at random.

The Healthy Community Challenge begins March 12 and runs for 12 weeks.

There are no costs associated with joining the Challenge, which helps participants establish goals, assess current fitness levels, and receive ongoing access to tracking tools.

A kick-off event for the Challenge takes place Saturday, March 10 from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Cloverdale Recreation Centre, 6188 176 St., and at the Guildford Recreation Centre, 15105 105 Avenue.

The kick-off event will include free fitness testing, information and a Zumba class.

The first 100 people to pre-register in each of the two Surrey locations will receive a prize.

The costs of teaching THE COST OF BEING a teacher in

British Columbia: 1. Books, resources and posters to supplement the curriculum: $200.

2. Basic school supplies for those who come to class with none: $100.

3. Extra snacks to feed hungry students who have no food at home: $100.

4. Stickers and gifts for special holidays: $100.

5. Science experiment supplies: $50.

6. Art supplies: $50.

The cost of helping children learn each and every day: Priceless The cost of letting the education act pass without a fight: Terrifying.

It is a common misconception that teachers are reimbursed for their out-of-pocket expenses. I assure you we are not. We are also not allowed to claim these expenses as an employment expense in our taxes.

Delta’s spending hurting pocketbooks HAVE YOU CLOSED your jaws yet after they

dropped to the floor from seeing your utility bills?

Did the percentage of your wages increase as much? No? What are we being drained for?

Could it be from projects like the “realignment” of 116 Street and 72 Avenue in Delta that paves over four family properties?

Why does Delta council appease the engi-

neering department which uses the excuse that accident numbers are high in that intersection?

Those numbers are high in every intersection in Delta according to ICBC. Is Delta council going to spend $2 million-plus for each one?

It’s been proven many times that the numberone cause of accidents is undue care and attention while driving (cellphones, radio tuning, eating, drinking, texting, red light running, etc.), not the design of the road.

Beware of coupon hoarders DEAR GREEDY extreme couponers:

Gurjit Pattar Grade 6 teacher, Surrey

Planned reliance

Don’t try asking Delta council about any projects, either.

They refer you to the engineering department as if they are in control.

Can’t Delta council use a little common sense and question the cost and actual need of this kind of spending?

Shame on them.

A letter writer says some shoppers are grabbing too many coupons at stores and suggests coupons be better monitored so a fair system is in place.

I have a gripe with you people. A store offers a special deal on items and you hurry in and clear the shelves of them all.

I hear about a good coupon for a discount but all the coupons are missing when I check at the store.

I was at a local grocery store the other day and was about to take a coupon on potatoes when a woman stepped in front of me and took the whole pad.

I asked her why does she need the whole pad? She replied if she doesn’t take it all, then other extreme couponers will get them all first.

I hear about extreme couponers getting hundreds of dollars worth of free items and would be happy for them if only the policy didn’t cause little shoppers like me to miss out completely.

Maybe coupons need to be kept at customer service, so a watchful eye can be kept and a fairer system imposed.

THE SUBJECT headline on the

letters page Feb. 21 caught my attention (“Accessible legal advice is vital for immigrants”) and raised the question why?

It was 47 years ago when I landed in Quebec City as an immigrant and since that time, I have had no need for involvement with our immigration system nor have I found it necessary to seek legal services. If I had needed such services, I would have expected to pay for them.

The content of the letter seems to imply that South Asians in Canada form a permanent “immigrant” community beset by problems with family, poverty and immigration law in need of free special services not available to the rest of the community.

This does not present a pretty picture and I ask again, why?

It’s a frustrating job teaching in B.C. I HAVE BEEN A TEACHER for 32 years, 22 of

which have been spent working in special education.

I have worked for a decade in another province and one year in Australia, so I have some experience to compare my 20-year teaching career in British Columbia to.

Without a doubt, the last 10 years teaching in this province have been some of the most challenging and frustrating years of my career.

With an 80 per cent assignment, I have a caseload of 20 resource and 10 learning assistance students.

Prior to Christy Clark’s stripping of caseload language in 2001, I was working full-time providing intensive support for only 15 children with special needs.

I must also note that I have chosen to reduce my teaching assignment to 80 per cent to help cope with the ever-increasing stress of the job.

My students, whose special needs include autism, obsessive compulsive disorder, Tourette syndrome, mild mental handicaps, severe behaviour disorders, gifted, diabetes, seizures, depression, anxiety and last but not least learning disabilities, are being warehoused in classrooms of at least 30 children.

I am currently providing support to six special needs students in a Grade 4 class, and two other classes which each have five children with special needs.

I am expected not only to support these children academically, but also to provide non-academic support such as social skills training.

Every day, I look into the faces of children who are being let down by our education system.

I know what the best practices look like, but I also know that I’m not even coming close to the mark.

I try to be optimistic and I continue to hope that things will get better for the children of this province.

But every year for the past 10 years life has become more and more challenging for my students, their parents and for those of us who work with these children.

Almost the entire school career of special needs children has been compromised by 10 years of under-funding.

This has to stop.

Children are our future and a highquality education is the right of every child, including those with special needs.

Debbie Maloway Surrey

Student voices not being heard AS A CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL student and youth in

B.C., I find that my voice is often invalidated or disregarded by others older then myself.

As a student in a public school, I find that our – the students of B.C. – voices are not being heard by the B.C. government.

On Friday, March 2, students all across B.C. marched out of their classrooms in support of their teachers. Students walked out to send a message to the government that we have a voice, and we will use it.

We need more support for special needs students, we need less populated classrooms, we need more updated materials (I have a textbook where the Berlin Wall is still standing).

We need an environment where we can learn.

Currently, many students feel that our needs, and the needs of our teachers, are not being met.

Many adults in society seem to think that all the teachers want is a 15-per-cent wage increase, but that is untrue.

This is a negotiable figure. What we want is a fair mediation so that the other issues that have been brought up can be resolved.

To the B.C. government, education minister George Abbott, and Premier Christy Clark, this is a plea on behalf of the students of B.C. to have a fair negotiation through the use of mediation with the BCTF. Anthony Hope, Surrey

MacRae: ‘Made a difference’ From page 1

He said the job requires an intense investment of time and spirit to not only the community, but city hall, and the RCMP organization.

“It is a heavy mantle of responsibility,” 56-year-old MacRae said.

“For no particular reason, I feel it’s time to put that responsibility down, and allow someone with fresh perspective, energy and passion to pick up where the detachment is today and take it to that next level.”

MacRae is known for building relationships between the Surrey RCMP and several community groups.

Those people he’s reached out to say they’re going to miss him when he leaves.

Bonnie Burnside, manager of special events and communications for the Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association, said MacRae’s departure represents a tremendous loss.

“Fraser MacRae has been such a wonderful person to work with,” Burnside said Tuesday. “He was just so responsive to our needs. I’m going to miss him.”

Anita Huberman, CEO of the Surrey Board of Trade, echoed Burnside’s sentiments.

“We’re just so sad to hear that he’s retiring,” Huberman said. “I’ve worked with, previous to him, two other chiefs and I would say that he is the one that has really made a difference to Surrey, working collaboratively with stakeholders.”

MacRae will be partly in charge of picking his successor, and says there are certain qualities he’ll be looking for.

“I think it needs to be someone who recognizes the value of relationships,” MacRae said. “It is someone who recognizes the dynamics around municipal policing, it is someone who cares about people.”

There are immense challenges facing the person who takes on that job. Chief among them is the tremendous growth in Surrey’s population, he said.

“The addition of resources are expensive, and they’re usually reactive to the population,” MacRae said, adding planning is key as new personnel take a year to get in place.

Adding to that is the large number of youth in this city, the highest

Education Minister George Abbott said the government will continue to debate Bill 22 without extending legislature hours, despite an opposition delaying tactic where all 34 NDP MLAs are speaking for the maximum time.

That could drag the debate into next week, where teachers are in a legal position to strike for one more day. If teachers continue their walkout Thursday and Friday in defiance of a Labour Relations Board ruling on essential services, the government would reassess

Demographically, ages 15 to 25 put the highest demand on policing time.

As to whether Surrey needs more police, MacRae has a oneword answer: “Yes.” Perhaps most of all, MacRae will be missed by the rank and file of the RCMP, where he’s described as an inspiring leader whose opendoor policy wasn’t just a catchphrase. Any problem, professional or personal, MacRae always had good advice for the cops under his watch.

“He’s the smartest police officer I’ve ever worked with in my career,” said one officer.

At city hall, he is also highly regarded.

“He is a leader in every sense of the word, and he will be greatly missed,” said Mayor Dianne Watts.

MacRae said he’ll miss the people he’s met as well, but perhaps more than that, the ones he hasn’t had the chance to meet yet.

“I will miss the new interactions I would have had if I had remained,” he said. “But I’ll always have the ones that I’ve accumulated.”

by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER has watered

down its latest attempt to limit the construction of giant farmhouses that inefficiently eat up crop-growing land.

The regional district board had been poised to ask the province to outlaw huge mansions in the Agricultural Land Reserve, limit the size of the surrounding residential use footprint and require

it be placed close to the access road – so yards don’t sprawl deep into the property and make it hard to farm.

But after protests last Friday from farmers that a cap on farm house size would be unfair to large South Asian farm families, the board voted to abandon that part of the resolution.

“It shows a lack of cultural sensitivity with regards to how farming works and who farms,”

Size: Metro remains concerned From page 9 (3,800 square feet) for smaller farms, while allowing a second farm house of 200 to 250 square metres.

The region will instead ask Victoria to set a maximum residential footprint of 5,000 square metres (2,000 for smaller farms) and require that residential use area extend no deeper than 60 metres from an access road.

The compromise, brokered

by Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner, would leave each city council to set its own farm house size limit, if it wants one.

Hepner had said Surrey council would oppose the blanket house size limit – preferring to exercise its own discretion – and Vancouver directors said they saw no regional interest justifying a specific size limit.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the proposed residential footprint regulation will prevent farmland buyers from using too much of a property for estate homes and yards, which sometimes include swimming pools, tennis courts and outbuildings.

He noted Metro had last year decided to stand firm on the farm house issue and said he was surprised it had suddenly become controversial.

Whether the province does anything remains to be seen.

Agriculture Minister Don McRae last fall decided against imposing rules on residential

Introducing Canada Course prepares immigrants for their citizenship tests

by Boaz Joseph FRIDO PROFOEHR sees a lot of

himself in the faces in front of him.

While Profoehr, at age 76, may be older and more European than the 21 mostly female students he teaches in the second-floor classroom at Cedar Grove Baptist Church, he’s got a lot in common with them.

In 1961, he came to Canada from Germany, speaking little English, and found that he’d have to build up his pipefitting and welding career from scratch.

More than 50 year later, he’s

giving back and helping new – and some less recent – immigrants get on their feet, and learn what they need to become citizens.

And more.

For the last several weeks, Profoehr has been teaching the students about Canadian history, the justice system, how Canadians govern themselves, Canadian symbols, the economy, the regions and a host of other commonplace topics.

It’s one of the first times a course like this has been offered in Surrey.

Profoehr says he was approached by a local community

group looking for assistance in helping immigrants prepare for their citizenship test.

While English-language classes are available at dozens of locations, many of them churches, few of them focus on Canadian citizenship.

The only prerequisite for this new course is that participants must have 60 per cent proficiency in English.

In a recent class, students learned about Canadian history and modern Canada.

Security guard hurt in theft

by Kevin Diakiw POLICE ARE still trying to piece

together how a security guard was seriously injured after a theft at a North Surrey store.

On Saturday, at 6 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a call at the Dollar Giant at 105A Avenue and King George Boulevard.

A customer inside the store

had alerted a security guard of a woman stealing food.

The alleged thief fled the store, followed by the 61-year-old security guard. The guard was later found at the bottom of a stairway with serious head injuries.

Police believe they know the identity of the thief, but are looking for witnesses to the pursuit that took place after the theft.

Canada: ‘Has been good to me’ From page 11

Other options for immigrants:

Scribbling notes in Mandarin, Korean and Arabic, students learned the aboriginal word for Creator: Manitou, the source of the name Manitoba.

They learned the difference between the words Earth, country, land, territory and turf.

Profoehr told the students of the humble nature of Canada, and about the Canadian government’s apologies for wrongs of the past.

“The Canadian government said ‘I’m sorry’ to the aboriginal people, but also said it to the Chinese people’. ” Hossam Mohamad first learned about Canada in 1980 and says he waited for 28 years to immigrate with his family.

Now, the Egyptian has just a few months of waiting to go before becoming a Canadian citizen.

Hiam Yonan, who arrived in Canada from Iraq 13 months ago, is taking the course to get an early start on becoming a Canadian.

“Every Monday, I learn something new about Canada,” she says.

While a good portion of the East Asian women in the class came to prepare for their citizenship test, Susan Hsu signed up for a refresher course.

The 60-year-old became a Canadian citizen in the late 1990s.

Profoehr says he’s got lots of time and empathy for his students.

“I remember when I was an immigrant. Canada has been good to me.”

• DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society offers Canadian Citizenship and Civic Involvement, both as a three-hour introductory workshop at both of their Settlement Program locations (Newton and North Surrey) and also as a longer-term course offered by partner The Tong Louie Family YMCA. The course helps participants prepare for the Canadian citizenship test. Information includes Canadian history, government, how to participate in the community and rights and responsibilities as a Canadian.

DIVERSEcity also offers related programs such as Canadian Life Skills and Communications (learning more about Canadian customs, manners and how to get things done in everyday life), Adult Life Skills workshops, Women’s Self-Employment classes and a Men’s Intercultural Group.

To register, call DIVERSEcity Settlement Services 604-587-5628 or 604-507-6060 or visit www.dcrs.ca/ • Options Community Services Society offers on-demand citizenship courses for immigrants.

Most often, courses are given in batches to particular ethnic or language groups, with translators assisting in the English-language classes.

Most recently, 30 Korean immigrants were assisted at a four-Saturday citizenship course held at the Fleetwood Recreation Centre.

“It really helps out the clients – in English and (their own) language support,” says Iris Solorzano, assistant program manager at Options’ Immigrant Services.

SURREY RCMP are investigating two separate shootings over the weekend.

On Saturday at 9:40 p.m., Mounties received several calls of shots fired in the 8900 block of 128 Street.

Investigators found a house in the area that had been shot at multiple times, including several bullet holes in the door.

Six people were home, but no one was hurt.

Police say the intended target was not at the home, and have talked with him, but he is hot being cooperative.

Police do not believe the shooting was gang related, however some of the people in the house are known to police.

A black car with a tinted rear window was seen leaving the area at the time of the shooting, police say.

THE announcement that the provincial government is planning to replace older aluminum railings on the Serpentine River bridge in South Surrey with a more up-to-date concrete barrier doesn’t mean the older design is unsafe, engineers with the provincial Ministry of Transportation say.

A structuralengineering study of the fatal crash that sent a Honda Civic through an aluminum railing into the river last year found the barrier met the safety standards that were in place when it was built 50 years ago.

“The standards of the day are safe enough,” Lina Halwani, regional manager of engineering for the ministry of transportation South Coast Region, said during a Feb. 20 briefing on the report.

The engineers at the briefing said the railings failed to keep the car from plunging into the river because they were designed to withstand a glancing blow, not a near-direct hit.

“The circumstance was very unique,” Halwani said.

Structural experts at Associated Engineering (AE) Ltd. took nearly a year to complete their report, reassembling the salvaged railings pulled from the river, as well as testing identical

undamaged railings and posts that were purchased by the provincial government and stored for maintenance when the bridge was built in 1961.

The AE tests showed that while the 50-yearold cast aluminum posts had become “brittle” with age and were not as strong as they were supposed to be due to “large amounts of porosity in the casting,” they still met the 1961-era Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges code set by the American Association of State Highway Officials.

The hollow aluminum railing were in better shape, meeting the “general chemical requirements of the specified alloy,” the report adds.

“As a result, the railing system used on Serpentine Bridge complies with all relevant requirements of the code at the time the railing was designed,” the executive summary prepared by AE concludes.

The railings do not meet revised safety standards that took effect in 2000, the report notes.

The barrier likely broke apart after the Honda hit one of the cast aluminum posts that support the railings “colliding directly with the post over a small contact area,” according to the AE report.

under an unusual impact does not mean the older design is dangerous.

Asked if a modern bridge-barrier design would have prevented the fatal plunge, the engineers declined to speculate.

A woman in her 20s died in hospital following the Feb. 28, 2011 crash in the 4600 block of Highway 99.

After smashing through the barrier, her black Honda Civic settled upside-down on the river bottom.

The driver was underwater 90 minutes before a police dive team was able to locate the vehicle and extricate her, unconscious.

She died March 12.

At the family’s request, police have not released her name.

Investigators said alcohol, speed and aggressive driving were not factors, but a second driver is believed to have contributed to the crash without actually colliding with the Honda.

Last week (Feb. 28) the registered owner of a second car was charged with making an unsafe lane change connected to the incident.

Asbestos operators hit with WorkSafeBC fines

Lose Your First 10lbs For Free

Firms penalized for practices that risked or cost lives

ASBESTOS or hazardous material violations accounted for 15 per cent of the fines levied last year by WorkSafeBC against employers who contravened workplace safety rules.

In most of those 54 incidents, the companies were performing residential demolitions and asbestos clean-up.

Among the violators was Surrey-based Arthur Moore, who was fined five times for a total of $32,500 in 2011 for failing to comply with WorkSafeBC orders or regulations at multiple job sites across the Lower Mainland.

Moore was also sentenced in January to 60 days in jail for contempt of court after he continued to expose young, vulnerable workers to asbestos without adequate pro-

tection, contravening previous orders.

WorkSafeBC issued its 2011 enforcement report Feb. 28, listing 352 penalties totaling $4.9 million.

Fines were imposed in 15 incidents last year where workers were killed, often in horrific circumstances.

Actton Transport Ltd. in Surrey was fined $87,000 after a worker repairing the hydraulic and pneumatic system on a waste collection truck was fatally crushed.

Seaspan Ferries was fined nearly $70,000 after a tragic incident in Delta where a ferry boarding ramp collapsed into the Fraser River and a worker drowned. The

company failed to adequately inspect, test, repair and maintain the ramp, which collapsed due to mechanical deterioration.

Another fatality happened in Agassiz in December, when a young worker’s clothes were caught in a rotating drill. Rimex Supply Ltd. was fined $71,000 for failing to adequately safeguard equipment and train workers.

In White Rock, a worker was electrocuted when the section of gutter he was carrying touched an overhead power line.

The firm was fined $3,600.

Another company was fined more than $21,000 for an incident in Langley, where a

worker operating a 600-tonne hydraulic swaging press was struck by part of the machinery.

The two largest fines issued in Metro Vancouver were handed out to roofing companies even though no injuries or fatalities resulted.

Penfolds Roofing was fined $140,000 because two of its workers in New Westminster were six meters above ground with no fall protection. The stiff fine was imposed because Penfolds has a record of similar violations within the past three years.

Natt Roofing was fined $87,000 – also for a repeat violation of fall protection rules.

A 14-YEAR-OLD boy has been stabbed in the back after a fight at a convenience story in Whalley.

At about 10:30 p.m.

Tuesday, the teen was hanging out with friends at a 7-Eleven in the 13900 block of Fraser Highway when the group was approached by another male 15 or 16 years old.

They got into an altercation, and the 14 year old was stabbed in the back by the older teen.

He suffered superficial, non-life threatening injuries and has since been released from hospital.

During the course of events, the older teen also stole a cellphone from a girl in the group.

RCMP are looking for a Caucasian male, 15 to 16 years old, wearing a black puffy jacket, red baseball cap, black track pants and white runners. He is about 5’6” and has a medium frame and muscular build.

Police are hoping to review video tape from the convenience store.

The telecommunications company says its plans include an expansion of its advanced wireless and wireline broadband networks, as well as the construction of Telus Garden, its $750-million office and residential development in downtown Vancouver.

The firm, B.C.’s largest private sector employer, plans to hire another 1,300 people across the province as a result of the expansion program – 500 to build Telus Garden and 800 to support its Optik TV and wireless growth projects.

Telus plans include: • Rollout of its 4G LTE wireless network this year to Burnaby, Delta, North Vancouver, Richmond, Coquitlam, Langley, Maple Ridge, Surrey/White Rock, Hope, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Victoria, Whistler, Nanaimo, Kamloops, Kelowna, Penticton, Vernon, Prince George and Dawson Creek.

• Extension of high-speed Internet to more rural and remote communities, along with extended wireless coverage on remote B.C. highways.

“We are building the communications technology and infrastructure that will help B.C. companies compete on the world stage, create local employment opportunities, and advance healthcare and education across the province,” Telus president and CEO Darren Entwistle said.

B.C.’s top Mountie vows change in police culture

Assistant Commissioner Craig Callens pledges end to sexual harrassment

by Jeff Nagel

THE NEW HEAD of the RCMP in B.C. is vowing to transform the culture of the force to ensure sexually harassed

officers can safely blow the whistle on their tormenters and get help.

Assistant Commissioner Craig Callens has taken over as RCMP “E” division com-

mander amid a series of allegations of harassment by female officers that began late last year when former B.C. RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Catherine Gal-

Callens is seeking advice from throughout

He said he’s interested not just in rooting out harassers, but also examining the response of those in the force, particularly immediate superiors, who have allowed it to fester under their watch.

“I will be equally interested in what kind of information the supervisor or the local leader or officer-incharge of the detachment had and what he did about it.”

2 arrested in motel stand-off

by Monique Tamminga AFTER A two-hour armed stand-

off with police, Langley RCMP arrested two suspects – one from Surrey, the other from New Westminster – outside a room at the Super 8 Motel on Glover Road last Friday.

The men are believed to be responsible for up to 18 home robberies in the Fraser Valley, said

Langley RCMP. The takedown started around 2 p.m., when Langley police were called to the motel by staff, who said two suspicious-looking men checked in.

A police check of one of the men’s names showed he had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.

While en route, police said, officers were told the men were unloading various items from

their vehicle into the room and it appeared they were armed.

Contact was made with the men inside the room but they initially refused to come out, said Langley RCMP’s Cpl. Holly Marks. “After approximately two hours, they both exited and were arrested without incident.�

In total, 250 items were seized.

These items are believed to be stolen from residential break-ins.

Dave Yaroslawsky, 29, of Surrey and Ivan Johnson, age 33, of New Westminster have been charged with several criminal offences, including possessing a prohibited firearm with ammunition and possession of stolen property.

Johnson is also charged with impersonation and dealing with an identity document without lawful excuse. Both men are currently in custody.

Crime: Down 25 to 30 per cent in Surrey and other cities and municipal forces.

He said that will build upon the creation of additional Combined Forces Special Enforcement Units – which coordinate anti-gang investigations – in Prince George and Kelowna.

But he also argued B.C.’s antigang strategy of the last couple of years has been “very effective,� noting the number of gangrelated murders fell from its peak of 35 in 2009 to 18 in 2010 and less than 10 last year.

Long-term success against gang crime will depend more on education and prevention, as well as rehabilitation of offenders, he said.

Callens declined to discuss the repeated calls for marijuana decriminalization.

On the issue of roadside penalties for impaired drivers, Callens said there’s no debating the fact they’ve been effective in reducing drinking driving, noting the more than 40 per cent cut in impaired driving fatalities.

But he said the sanctions must be constitutional and accepted by the courts, adding the force respects the court ruling that partially overturned the penalties and will work with the province in responding to it.

Callens said the single biggest area of success in recent years for the Mounties has been their pursuit of intelligence-based crime-reduction initiatives. “In almost all of our communities we have seen significant reductions in crime,� he said, listing 25- to 30-per-cent reductions in property crime in Surrey, Prince George and Kelowna.

Those gains come from using crime analysts to identify prolific offenders who officers can target, preferably for reform through other social services partners who can provide drug treatment and other support.

Crime-reduction strategies have gone from a pilot project tests in 2005 to “core business in every single detachment,� Callens said. “We’ve made considerable gains, but we’re not taking our

eye off the ball,� he said. “It remains a priority. We will be developing newer and even more comprehensive strategies to deal with violent crime and domestic violence in the years to come.�

Callens, a third-generation Mountie with 26 years in the force, comes to the province’s top post after working in general duty, major crime and federal drug enforcement.

He’s served in Prince George, Wells, Kamloops, Surrey and then at “E� division headquarters in Vancouver.

He said the biggest challenge that has emerged for police in recent years have been landmark court decisions that now require vastly more paperwork to disclose every facet of an investigation to the defence. “Our investigators are required to disclose every piece of paper, every computer entry, every query and inquiry they conduct over the course of that investigation,� Callens said. “That has dramatically changed the way we need to approach investigations.� jnagel@surreyleader.com

Architecture just one amazing feature at Evelyn

Not your average tower development Set into the West Vancouver hillside, Onni’s Evelyn seems to be growing out of the mountain. With a unique design and amazing features, buyers are already snapping up the suites.

“You can’t really compare this to a runof-the-mill tower,” says Onni sales manager Nick Belmar. “You won’t find another project with this design and architecture.”

The architecture of Evelyn is seriously stunning, with floor-to-ceiling glass windows that let in huge amounts of light, and a stepped design that means the terraces become the roofs of the homes below. This makes for incredible southfacing views, and a quiet atmosphere as every home feels more private. The terraces range from 100 to 1,600 square feet, so

there is no shortage of outdoor entertaining potential. The buildings almost seem to flow down the hillside, making for a very natural feel to the entire project.

The first phase includes 105 homes in two different building styles, Cliffside and At Forest’s Edge.

“There is a good amount of green space around,” says Belmar. “The way the project was designed (means it) blends into the landscape ... it’s very impressive.”

West Vancouver is one of the most highly sought-after communities in the Lower Mainland, and buyers are able to find much to love there.

Homes at Evelyn start at $759,900. For more information, visit www.onni.com/ evelyn or call 604-922-0330.

Finding a home away from home

Catch cabin fever at the BC Log Home, Timber Frame & Country Living Show in Abbotsford

by Kerry Vital

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about log or timber frame homes, or are looking for something new for your home away from home, the BC Log Home, Timber Frame and Country Living Show is the perfect place for you to be on March 10 and 11. Taking place at the Tradex in Abbotsford from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days, exhibitors will be ready and waiting to answer your every question.

Organizers expect close to 100 booths and some full-size log structures to be showcased at the event. Attendees will be able to browse the latest products and check out the newest technology from companies at the top of the log and timber frame home industry, as well as learn about the latest trends and services, such as generators, outdoor furniture, hot tubs, awnings, watersports and accessories, and alternative energy.

This year is expected to be a fantastic year for the industry, as the government has recently earmarked funds to continue its growth.

“Many members I have spoken to have seen a dramatic increase in interest from U.S. buyers in the last

six months, and western Canada has shown a lot of promise,” says BC Log and Timber Industry Association board member and general manger with Sitka Log Homes Walter Bramsleven. “As well, with B.C. leading the way toward proving energy efficiency and setting some basic standards such as blower door analysis and thermal testing, we once again will be the trend-setting builders in the log and timber frame world.”

With vacation cabins continuing to grow in popularity and timber frame homes also becoming a trend, this show is coming at just the right time.

The show has been dubbed one of the best and biggest in Canada, so those interested in finding out more about this type of home will find everything they could possibly imagine under one roof.

Tickets are available at the Tradex ticket counter on the day of the show.

For more information, visit www. bclogandcountrylivingshow.ca.

Roughly 100 booths will be featured at this year’s BC Log Home, Timber Frame and Country Living Show, taking place in Abbotsford on March 10 and 11. Attendees will find plenty of information about all facets of log and timber frame homes.

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 you’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-efficient. And don’t forget, an energyefficient home is more comfortable too.

Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. There’s a lot to think about when you’re buying a new home.

But there’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.

“Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,” says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “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.”

An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a home’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 you’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

“

Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,” says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydro’s Power Smart New Home program. “If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.”

Insurance.

You’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. That’s money in your pocket every month – 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.

“Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable – cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter – while using less energy overall. It’s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.”

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.

WE MAKE IT EASY TO FIND A HOME THAT’S BUILT TO SAVE. NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. That’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 they’re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winter—all while saving you money for years to come.

place for the Valley West Hawks on the final day of the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League schedule.

The Hawks needed either a win Sunday, or a loss by the North Island Silvertips, to qualify for postseason play. And in the end, they got both.

Valley West took both ends of a double header with the last-place South Island Thunderbirds last weekend at the Langley Sportsplex. After a 5-0 victory Saturday evening, the Hawks clinched sixth place when the Silvertips lost in Nanaimo to the Okanagan Rockets Sunday morning.

No longer needing a win, the Hawks got one anyway, closing out their 40-game schedule with their 20th victory, a 3-1 triumph Sunday afternoon.

Angus Redmond of Langley was in goal Saturday, earning a shutout while Cloverdale defenceman Cole Bevan, Justin Klimek and Daniell Lange of Langley, and Surrey forwards Ram Brar and Mitch Friesen scored the goals. Rhett Wilcox of Surrey and Langley defenceman Jordan Klimek collected two assists each.

Friesen scored twice, including the winning goal with 10 minutes to play, in Sunday’s win.

His 22nd tally of the season put the Hawks up 2-0, and after the

A location for a third game, if necessary, has yet to be announced.

23 goals to finish atop the Hawks scoring race with 56 points in 40 games played, five points better than Lange, who also scored a team-high 23 goals.

Friesen finished sixth in the league.

Jordan Klimek led the team with 34 assists, which combined with his eight goals, left him as the top scoring defenceman in the league with 42 points.

Hectic schedule hands Eagles three losses Surreyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Junior A hockey team needs help to ďŹ nish in ďŹ rst place

by Nick Greenizan

THE SURREY Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

chances at a first-place finish now lie in the hands of one of their biggest B.C. Hockey League rivals.

After winning just two of five games last week â&#x20AC;&#x201C; played over the course of six days â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Eagles sit just three points up on the Powell River Kings, who beat Surrey twice last weekend. The Eagles have one regular-season game remaining, and a win would increase their cushion atop the Coastal Conference to five points, but the Kings still have three games left to play. If they win all three, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll finish one point up on Surrey, no matter what the Eagles do in their final game.

On Saturday at Powell Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hap Parker Arena, the Kings beat Surrey 4-2, and less than 24 hours later beat them by two again, 5-3.

The weekend wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a total loss, however, as the Eagles began the weekend with a 5-1 win over the Victoria Grizzlies Friday night in the provincial capital.

Surrey began the busiest week of its season last Tuesday with a 6-4 comeback win over the Langley Rivermen, but Wednesday in Cowichan lost to the Capitals, also by a 6-4 margin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s definitely a way to get more playoff-ready.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how we treated it,â&#x20AC;? said Eagles head coach Matt Herhart Tuesday, which was the second straight off-ice day for his tired troops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But it was definitely a grind, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure.â&#x20AC;?

On Sunday afternoon, the understandably tired Eagles held tight with the Kings for 40 minutes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the game was tied 2-2 with Surrey getting goals from Michael Stenderson and Robert Lindores â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but faded down the stretch.

In the third, after Tyler Morley gave the Eagles a brief lead with a powerplay goal 53 seconds into the period, Powell River scored three straight, including an emptynetter with one second left on the clock.

Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game was similar for the visiting Birds, who jumped out to an early 2-0 lead on goals from Steve Koshey and Stenerson, only to watch as the Kings responded with four straight goals of their own, including two in the third period.

The Eagles had less trouble Friday in Victoria, getting goals from

Colton Mackie, Demico Hannoun, Koshey, Brett Mulcahy and Brayden Jaw. As was the case in the two tilts against the Kings, the travel-weary Eagles lost Wednesday in Cowichan partly due to a poor third period.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;...it was deďŹ nitely a grind, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for sure.â&#x20AC;?

Matt Erhart Surrey fell behind 2-0 by the 10:46 mark of the first period, but battled back to tie the game by the first intermission, and the teams traded goals in the second before the home side took over in the final 20 minutes. The Capitals

potted three in the third â&#x20AC;&#x201C; two off the stick of Logan Proulx. Surrey got goals from Jaw, Morley, Lindores and defenceman Linden Saip.

Surrey, which since Christmas has been the hottest team in the BC Hockey League outside of Penticton â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who have won 41 straight games â&#x20AC;&#x201C; had to fight for the first win of the week last Tuesday in Langley. They trailed 3-1 to the lastplace Rivermen before mounting a mid-game comeback.

Surrey wraps up its regular season Friday, at home against the Westside Warriors, and playoffs begin March 16. Just four teams from each conference qualify for playoffs, and each series is a best-of-seven format.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s possible the Eagles wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know their playoff opponent until the regular season concludes Sunday. As it stands, only

seven points separate first place from fourth, and Surrey can finish anywhere from first to third.

New Residential Construction Guide Benefits Homeowners and Builders Homeowners have a new tool at their ďŹ ngertipss to help them better understand how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes.

The Residential Construction Performance Guide is the newest online resource available on the provincial Homeowner Protection OfďŹ ce website at www.hpo.bc.ca. It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform.

Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest ďŹ nancial investments they will make. So itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with conďŹ dence, knowing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association and an advocate for consumer protection.

This simple, practical guide is easy to use. It outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online. This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete ďŹ&#x201A;oors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled.

Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, wood-frame homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings. Builders can also use the guide to help ensure that they deliver high performance homes.

They say good luck comes in threeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and that was clearly the case for J J J Stables and trainer Ty Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill at Fraser Downs Racetrack last Friday night. It was their own version of a triactor with wins in the 7th, 10th and 11th races.

That Space ($5.40) launched the sting with Keith Clark in the sulky then Jim Marino capped things off by driving Limit The Risk ($3.00) and Major Indiscretion ($3.10) to victories in the ďŹ nal two races on the card.

Trainer Mate Hecimovic should be so lucky. Talk about patience. Hecimovic celebrated Western Baronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ($72.80) his ďŹ rst win in his seven-year-old career when his homebred Western Baron ($72.80) scored a sizzling upset in the second race with Grant Hollingsworth driving. Think about it. This was only Western Baronâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second lifetime start as a seven-year-old Talk about perseverance. Hecimovic and Keith Linton have teamed up in the past with great success but being a homebred this was even sweeter for Mate.

Our friends with Standardbred Canada came up with an attention-getting headline following Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s action that said: Fraser Card Begins with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Terrorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; & â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Panicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to relate that the clever play on words referred to the winners in their respective $7,500 Muriel Fornwald Memorial Stake eliminations for three and four-year-old ďŹ llies and mares that are B.C. owned, bred or sired.

Phone Terror ($4.20) won for trainer/driver Serge Masse in the opening division while Panic At The Disco ($14.80) took the second split for trainer/driver Jim Marino.

Thus the headline about â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Terrorâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Panicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure got more reaction from readers than is normally the case.

Trainer, breeder and co-owner Rod Therres was the winning driver with favoured Primary Purpose ($5.50) in Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $12,500 Open Pace.

Looking forward to more excitement at The Downs on Friday night (7 p.m.) and Sunday afternoon (1:45 p.m.).

Julian Feijo of the North Delta Devils pins Grange Gordon of the Delta Ice Hawks to the boards during Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s PIJHL game in Ladner. The Ice Hawks won 2-1, but North Delta leads the best-of-seven series 3-2.

from series-clinching victory, the North Delta Devils will need to go to at least a sixth game before eliminating the Delta Ice Hawks.

Leading the series 3-1, and ahead 1-0 after two periods in game five Tuesday night at the Ladner Leisure Centre, the Devils conceded a pair of powerplay goals in a 2-1 loss.

As has been the pattern in four of the five games, the Ice Hawks held a shots on goal advantage, but a 25-10 margin in the first 40 minutes produced nothing.

Sam Vikich notched the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first goal after seven minutes of play, with an assist from Stephen Campbell.

But North Delta ran into penalty trouble in the final period, and Delta took advantage by scoring twice on

three powerplay opportunities. John Proctor tied the game with 15 minutes to play, then Ryan Cuthbert scored the winning goal with just two minutes left.

Harry Fredeman was again a standout in the North Delta net, making 31 saves.

The two rivals played game six last night (Wednesday) at the Sungod Arena.

If a seventh game is necessary, it will be played tomorrow night (Friday) at 8:15 p.m. at the Kerrisdale Arena in Vancouver.

The series winner will face the first place Richmond Sockeyes in the semifinal round.

The Sockeyes, losers of just seven games in the regular season, dropped the first game of their quarterfinal series with the North Vancouver Wolf Pack. But after their 4-3 loss last Thursday, Richmond won four in a row by a combined 25-7 score.

Under the Delta Choral Society umbrella, the Delta Community Choir and Tapestry ensemble prepare early for their spring concert

Delta Choral Society director Danielle Hamilton, a teacher at South Delta Secondary school, leads a rehearsal of the Delta Community Choir.

BOAZ JOSEPH PHOTOS THE LEADER

Spring in their song

by Boaz Joseph

T

he power of music keeps bringing Ailsa Howard back.

“There’s that incredible thing that happens when you’re singing,” she said as the Delta Choral Society’s (DCS) two choirs gathered for their first rehearsal of the season. “It doesn’t matter what kind of day you’ve had, when you come, you just feel it. It makes you feel good.”

For the past 11 years, Howard’s been in the secondsoprano section in the DCS’s larger ensemble, the Delta Community Choir (DCC).

She describes the vocal group, which started in 1984, as “a bit of a family,” which has grown from about 25 to 60-70

members in the last decade.

The DCC, which is gearing up for it’s spring concert in May, begins its season as director Danielle Hamilton introduces the material: The R&B standard Route 66, an English-language version of Besame Mucho, the jazz piece Take Five and Darmon Meadle’s lyricless classical/jazz hybrid Swingle Song.

She tells the choir she wants a light, airy tone for the performances.

Later in the evening, a smaller group, the Tapestry ensemble, has its first rehearsal.

Whereas the larger DCC’s members are placed in sec-

tions of their tonal range – in descending order: soprano, alto, tenor and bass – Tapestry has singers that go through a more rigorous audition process.

Tapestry, a specialized chamber choir capped at 20 members, will sing “off-book” at the spring concert, meaning they won’t have sheet music in front of them when they perform their repertoire. (During their performance, they’ll share only a couple of songs with the DCC.) Tapestry, in its fourth year, used to be an under-30 group, says DCS secretary Alana McKenna.

But since she wanted to stay with it, they changed their rules, she adds with a laugh.

This season, Hamilton, who comes from a gospel background, considers Tapestry to be still a bit girl-heavy, and she’d be happy to add one or two more male voices to its present two (confirmed) men out of 16 members.

“I know there was a gentleman who came here last time, and I hope we didn’t freak him out and scare him away,” Hamilton jokes with the smaller group.

Most of Tapestry’s members are returnees, and a number of them were students of Hamilton, a teacher at South Delta Secondary School who’s currently on maternity leave.

The DCS holds two annual concerts (winter and spring), and has performed locally at Remembrance Day ceremonies, at Kinsmen, Kiwanis and chamber of commerce events, at the extended care unit of Delta Hospital and at the Van Dusen Gardens’ Festival of Lights.

Both DCS choirs rehearse every Monday evening in the hall of the Benediction Lutheran Church, located at 5575 6 Ave. in Tsawwassen. New members are welcome.

The Delta Choral Society and the Delta Concert Band present Showtime!, a selection of music from stage and screen, on May 5 at 7:30 p.m. and May 6 at 3:30 p.m. at Cedar Park Church, 5300 44 Ave. in Ladner. The show will be led by director Danielle Hamilton and conductor Jim Tempest. Tickets are $15 for adults, $10 for seniors and students and $5 for children under 12. Tickets are available at the door, in advance at the church office or at Mud Bay Wines, 1295 56 St. in Tsawwassen. For more information, visit www.deltacommunitychoir.ca

High school films target suicide, bullying

Dastar SHER-E-PUNJAB RADIO

10TH ANNUAL

COM PETITION & CE LE B RATION

FREE FAMILY EVENT

Flicks by Guildford Park and Johnston Heights Secondary students chosen winners in anti-bullying contest

by Sheila Reynolds “HE SMELLS horrible,” says a girl.

“Was he wearing that three days ago?” asks someone else.

“He’s such a weirdo.”

“Pathetic.”

“So weak.”

The insults pile up before the target of the insults gets shoved around by two other guys.

A couple of girls witness the abuse, but are too afraid to step in.

The harassed teen sits on his bed at home. He contemplates the knife beside him, before running it across his wrist, not quite breaking the skin.

He then moves to a rooftop, his feet dangling over the side of the building. Then a foot can be seen stepping up to the edge, the screech of sirens soon following.

“He’s not the only one overstepping the edge,” read the words on the screen.

The scene is from one of the winning pieces in Surrey’s first-annual Anti-Bullying Film Contest.

The hard-hitting 60-second flick, called Downfall, was done by students at Guildford Park Secondary, who took top spot in the senior (16- to 18-year-old) category.

Taking first in the junior (14- to 15-year-old) category was the team People Against Discrimination from Johnston Heights Secondary with its one-minute film entitled The Liberation Project.

The film opens with a shot of a shadowy figure holding what appears to be noose. Flashing vignettes of students laughing at and harassing him in a school hallway follow, before the scene switches back to the young man placing the noose around his neck.

Back in the school hallway, a passerby stops to look back at the bullied teen, who’s collecting papers that have been knocked to the floor. A

A scene from Johnston Heights Secondary’s short film The Liberation Project, which won first place in the junior category of Surrey’s Anti-Bullying Film Contest. couple of schoolmates help him up, then are seen sitting with him on a couch, laughing and smiling.

And the lonely teen in the shadows removes the noose from his neck.

“End the bullying. Stop the hate,” the screen reads.

The youth film anti-bullying contest was launched last month by the City of Surrey, RCMP and CUPE Local 402. The top entries will be profiled on Global TV and Shaw TV, and the teams will receive guided tours of a working television program, courtesy of North Shore Studios, and the Global TV BC studio.

The winning videos will be screened in front of more 1,200 students at the 2012 Projecting Change Film Festival to be held from April 17-22 in Vancouver, and the top entries in each category will receive tickets to the 2012 Vancouver International Film Festival.

AGREEMENTS What is their value?

By Don J. MacKinnon OF HAMILTON DUNCAN ARMSTRONG + STEWART

A shareholders agreement is an essential document for defining and maintaining the mutually beneficial relationship between the shareholders and the company.

The company’s Articles and the British Columbia Corporations Act (BCBCA) provide some protection for shareholders and guidance for the company’s governance.

However, a shareholders agreement documents your expectations for, and obligations to, the company. With a lawyer’s help, you can avoid the common pitfalls and disputes that arise between shareholders.

As your business develops and changes, disagreements about the management of the company will likely arise between you and your partners. A shareholders agreement provides a mechanism for dealing with the following common issues: organizing the day-to-day management of the company, duties (determine shareholders’ duties), how dividends are declared and to whom they will be paid, an approval mechanism for capital investment, guidelines for employment of relatives, future valuation of shares, approval requirements for sale of shares to a third party, and, potentially, a mechanism for forcing a shareholder to leave the company.

The shareholders agreement will also provide minority shareholders with protection. If the majority shareholder is not restricted you may find that you are forced to sell your shares, or that you are excluded from receiving dividends.

Alternatively, the company’s earnings could be depleted by the payment of exorbitant salaries and bonuses to majority shareholders, or the company’s assets could be sold for less than their worth to a friend or family member of the majority shareholder.

These are just a sample of common issues dealt with in a shareholders agreement. The true value of a shareholders agreement is realized when you avoid the cost and stress incurred as a result of litigating shareholder disputes.

their place in society?

How do they fit in?

Surrey art students are exploring these questions through figurative/human studies, social commentary, and symbolism in the exhibition Art by Surrey Secondary School Students, at the Surrey Art Gallery now through to April 29.

The students have selected different forms of media to best express their ideas. Visitors will see paintings, drawings, collages and photographs, accompanied by insights into the work through artist statements, and information on the goals and objec-

tives of art education.

This showcase of artworks by 48 students from Grades 8 to 12 representing 13 schools, was developed jointly by the Surrey Art Gallery, Surrey School District, and Surrey Art Teachers Association to demonstrate the value of visual arts courses.

Admission to the exhibition is free.

Through art, students are able to develop their creative, cognitive, reasoning, and technical abilities while at the same time learn new ways to express themselves and communicate with others.

Art by Surrey Secondary School Students is an important part of the school district’s

Surrey/North Delta Leader 45

Trading in a new Dean KWANTLEN POLYTECHNIC University has

appointed Henry Reiser as Kwantlen’s new Dean of Trades and Technology, effective Sept. 1.

Reiser joins Kwantlen from Lambton College where he has been the dean of the School of Technology, Applied Science and Apprenticeship and the School of Fire Sciences since September 2007.

Before joining Lambton, he was the Henry Reiser Chair of Engineering and IT at Conestoga Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning (ITAL) in Kitchener, ON where he developed a successful track record of applied research for Research In Motion, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Ventax Robotics, and Toyota; each of these projects was incorporated into the curriculum of the Integrated Advanced Manufacturing Applied Degree.

Fast-track to a career

IN FRONT OF MORE than 300 secondary school students, recent graduate Kevin Kirk expresses his passion for a school program that he says changed his life.

“The ACE IT program is a win-win decision,” he told his former peers.

Kirk graduated two years ago after taking the automotive Accelerated Credit Enrolment Industry Training (ACE IT) program at Seaquam Secondary.

ACE IT allows students to begin accredited trades training while still in high school.

Students complete secondary school and embark on a career in the trades simultaneously – giving them a head start on their careers.

“It’s a really neat way to get into a career, and you can start in high school,” said Rodger Hargreaves, Manager of Youth Initiatives with the Industry Training Authority (ITA), the provincial crown agency responsible for overseeing B.C.’s industry training and apprenticeship system.

Hargreaves and Kirk were both guest speakers at a recent trades forum held at Delta Secondary School.

Kirk now works at Fountain Tire, apprenticing as a mechanic, and will be a journeyman by the time he is 20-years-old.

He told the trades forum crowd that the ACE IT program is good at connecting students to great employers after high school graduation.

CA fellowship SURREY’S RODNEY JOHNSTON, FCA, has been honoured

with a fellowship by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of British Columbia (ICABC). The fellowship (FCA) designation is awarded to chartered accountants for contributions to the community and service to the profession.

Johnston is the CEO and a director of Adventus Realty Trust, a Canadian-funded real estate investment trust. He started Adventus in 2011, after retiring from a distinguished career with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC).

Random act of kindness Envision Financial’s Kim Houlind (left), Susan Byrom and Kirsty Jansen (right) presented Surrey Food Bank executive director Marilyn Herrmann with a cheque – part of a ‘random act of kindness’ of $14,000 recently split between 10 regional food banks.

Working in Mumbai as one of 10 SFU students benefitting from the BC-India Exchange and Mobility Initiative created in June, Yasin hopes to play a role in driving the change that will advance the country over the next 10 years.

“On a high level, it is widely known that India has a demand for change– and on a micro level. I have experienced personally the inefficiencies faced here–the power outages, unsanitary water, congested transportation, and so much more,” he writes in his blog, www.thedarkhorsejourney.com “Seeing all of this at the same time SFU Co-op students Dulce Antonelli Nunez (left) and Fahad Yasin (right) was initially overwhelming, but I often recently met with SFU president Andrew Petter (second from left) and come back to the reason I am here and SFU Business dean Danny Shapiro at the Canada-India Business Council know that in some way I am helping Forum reception in Mumbai. create change.”

Rose was born in Spedden, Northern Alberta. She grew up with her five brothers and four sisters on a homestead farm near Vilna. She married Nicholas Chmelyk in 1946.

Rose and Nick, along with Nick’s brothers, moved to the North Peace area to pioneer vast grain farms near Cecil Lake, B.C. Daughter Judy and son James were born during this period. In 1955, tired of the unpredictability of farming life, they moved to Coquitlam.

Nick found a long-term job at Fraser Mills in Maillardville.

Son Gerald and daughter Sherry were born soon after.

Nick and Rose separated in 1969. She lived for a number of years in New Westminster, working for a Ukrainian restaurant and at Monarch Foods. She then relocated to Edmonton to be closer to her siblings and worked at McGavin Bread. In the 1990’s, she moved to the Surrey/Langley area. Then due to declining health, she went to Kelowna to be under Sherry’s care.

Rose had innumerable friends; she touched many with her straight talk and passion for life. She danced at the Kennedy Hall in Whalley and the Legions in New Westminster, Coquitlam, Edmonton, Cloverdale and Langley.

Rose was predeceased by daughter Judy in 1970.

Rose is survived by daughter Sherry (Mike), sons James (Yolanda) and Gerald (Faye), granddaughter Julia (Jon), grandsons Jerry (Erika), Jamie (Mandy), Chris (Kaysee), Dan (Delaine), Mitchell and Nick, great-granddaughter Sophia, great-grandsons Jeron, Seth, Lukas and Carson.

A private family gathering will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C.
