The scrap over glass pick-up is on
Counting down to the Cloverdale Rodeo Less than two months away, fair now has new lower admission prices
New recycling agency aims to ditch curbside collection, have public take bottles and jars to depots
by Jennifer Lang
by Jeff Nagel
WITH JUST over six weeks to go until
THE NEW agency taking charge of blue box recycling will try again
to convince its critics that it makes sense to end curbside pick-up of glass bottles and jars, forcing households to take them to depots. Multi-Material BC (MMBC), the industry stewardship group the province has charged with recycling all types of packaging and printed paper starting in mid-2014, will meet Metro Vancouver’s waste committee April 4 to discuss its revised plan. “We haven’t made a decision,” MMBC spokesman Allen Langdon said. “What we’re looking for is to have a discussion on the environmental merits.” Some civic leaders think moving to depot-only collection of glass would be a big reduction in service, resulting in more bottles and jars ending up in the landfill. But Langdon said there’s a mistaken assumption that glass put in blue boxes is actually recycled. “We think maybe 15 per cent of that glass is actually being recycled and the rest is going to the landfill anyway,” Langdon said. The “recycled” portion is actually being used as road aggregate, he said, Malcolm Brodie not turned into new glass. Separating glass from the blue box stream – where it can break, contaminate and degrade the value of other recyclables – would help MMBC find better markets and get higher prices for recyclables, he said. “We think it’s going to increase recycling of glass, plastic and fibre,” Langdon said. “Some [Metro directors] seem to think it’s an issue of cost when really it’s about how we’re going to recycle the greatest amount of material.”
“...I think people by and large won’t take it to the depot – they’ll put it in the trash. It just seems to me to be a big step backwards.”

the 67th annual Cloverdale Rodeo and 125th Country Fair, organizers have announced a big discount for families with children. Children 12 and under will receive free admission to rodeo performances – and on gate admission to the country fair – provided they’re accompanied by an adult this May long weekend in Cloverdale. The move expands a discount for children’s gate admissions floated last year at Surrey’s biggest tourist attraction, which appeared poised to burst all previous attendance records until bad weather arrived, putting a damper on the final two days of the event. “We got off to a Shannon great start... and Claypool we would have had a world beater, probably one of the best weekends ever,” said Shannon Claypool, president of the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association told members at last month’s annual general meeting. “But the weather gods didn’t cooperate and it rained for three days,” Claypool said. “It wasn’t a great year.”

Blue bins: New packaging would be accepted by and large won’t take it to the depot – they’ll put it in the trash. It just seems to me to be a big step backward.” New packaging types that would be accepted in blue boxes are to include coffee cups, gable-top containers, aseptic cartons used for soup and soy milk, empty aerosol containers, aluminum foil containers, microwavable paper containers, various takeout food containers and plant pots. For more info see multimaterialbc.ca. Not all packaging types will be collected and recycled – MMBC says laminate plastics currently have no viable market and will instead be landfilled or incinerated. But producers of those packages will still have to pay fees to support the system. Time is getting tight to put the program together. Langdon said MMBC hopes for speedy approval of the recently revised stewardship plan by the

Port Coquitlam already uses a depot system for glass and finds it more effective and profitable than curbside pickup, Langdon said. Most glass already comes to depots, because of refundable deposits on bottles, rather than via blue boxes. MMBC hopes numerous partner depots, such as existing bottle depots, would take their recyclables. Langdon predicts residents won’t have to take excluded material like glass only to municipal transfer stations. MMBC also intends to have depot-only pick-up of expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam) and film plastic such as shopping bags and drycleaning bags. Metro waste committee chair and Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie expects strong opposition to MMBC’s “short-sighted” plan to end glass pick-up. “Our residents have gotten used to being able to recycle the glass – they’ve come to expect it,” Brodie said. “Without being able to put it in your blue box, I think people
Have you been in a motor vehicle accident? Being in a motor vehicle accident is a very stressful situation on its own let alone dealing with injuries sustained as a result of the accident. It is not unsual for some people to develop neck and back pain, stiffness, headaches, arm pain, leg pain, and other symptoms up to weeks after the accident. However, it is very important to not delay in seeking a proper diagnosis and treatment for your injuries. Fortunately, recovery just got a little easier!!!

provincial government within weeks. The agency has just over a year to strike deals with cities to continue blue box collection or else hire other contractors, line up processors and carry out much more preparatory work in advance of the new system’s rollout. “We already feel as of this date today were working under a compressed schedule.” The new system, expected to cost industry partners $60 to $100 million annually, aims to raise recycling rates for packaging and printed paper from between 50 and 57 per cent across B.C. to at least 75 per cent. The packaging stewardship program is the latest in the province’s efforts to make industry groups take back and deal with the waste they generate.

Online predator living in Surrey

Warning issued about Jeffrey Goddard’s high risk to re-offend

a high-risk of re-offending is making Surrey his home, the provincial corrections branch is warning. Jeffrey Goddard, 23, has a criminal history including inviting, counselling or inciting a person under 16 to touch any person, as well as communicate via computer to lure child under 16, according to a release sent out by B.C. Corrections. Goddard has been ordered by the court to abide by conditions, including not communicating with anyone under 18 years old, and to not establish a social networking site. Goddard is 5’ 9” and weighs 150 lbs. He is Jeffrey Goddard Caucasian with brown hair and green eyes. He has offended against both male and female children, in both an opportunistic and predatory manner, the corrections branch said. In several instances, the court heard that Goddard began his online interaction posing as “Julia.” He would post pictures of a girl for boys, saying that was him. He also posed as a police officer and TV producer to gain boys’ confidence. In one case, two 13-year-old boys were on their way to meet him, when they were informed of his ruse through the media.

another tunnel, looks like the best bet to replace the aging and congested George Massey Tunnel, according to Lower Mainland truckers. B.C. Trucking Association president Louise Yako said her board leans in favour of the bridge solution because it would end a couple of major restrictions for cargo haulers. Trucks aren’t currently allowed to haul dangerous goods through the tunnel, forcing those shipments to drive far out of their way over a different bridge, adding to unnecessary traffic
and emissions, and increasing the risk of a hazardous cargo accident along the way. Oversized loads are also banned from the tube. “A bridge would address both of those deficiencies that the tunnel currently has,” Yako said. The provincial transportation ministry recently unveiled five options for the future of the 54-year-old Massey Tunnel, although it has no estimate of costs yet or how it would be paid for. Yako also noted removing the tunnel could allow larger ships to head upriver to Fraser Surrey Docks. Trucks could be loaded with cargo contain-
ers there instead of at Deltaport, making goods movement more efficient, she said. The topic of using tolls to pay for a new crossing hasn’t yet come up in the association’s discussions with provincial government officials, Yako said. “Our industry believes it should pay its fair share,” Yako said, noting truckers would benefit from reduced congestion and greater road capacity. “The question is how should we pay? Should it be through tolls, should it be through system-wide road pricing? That’s the next discussion we need to have as an association and the public needs to have as well.”

and things are working well for us,” second vice president and Rodeo Chair Penny Smythe said. “Now we just have to all pray here for nice weather.” Last year’s washout meant the association was forced to dip into next year’s operating grant from the City of Surrey for the second year in a row. That generous city support is solid, according to Coun. Marvin Hunt, one of the city’s reps on the association’s board. “You are what has put Surrey on the map years ago and will continue to keep Surrey on the map for many years to come,” Hunt said, thanking the association and its many volunteers, who logged 8,000 hours in 2012. “We really value your time, your commitment, and your love for the rodeo. On behalf of the mayor and council, thank you so very much.” Hunt added that the city is working with the Canada Public Private Partnerships program because it’s still hoping to one day build a convention facility on the
site that would be large enough to accommodate the rodeo, bringing it indoors. “And then we can just have a real good party instead of worrying about the weather every May long weekend,” he said. The city’s operating grant to the association is $775,000, but only a portion of that goes to the rodeo and country fair to help pay for prize money awarded to winners of the four main rodeo events, saddle bronc, bull riding, bareback and ladies barrel racing. The majority – $550,000 – pays for the day-to-day operations of the fairgrounds. Hunt stressed that the combined grant is “a great deal for the city” because it gets so much in return. That’s because in addition to managing the annual rodeo and fair, which brings in millions of revenue in the City of Surrey, the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association is responsible for yearround management of the eight facilities on the fairgrounds.

Maren Mebert, 5, keeps busy along last year’s Cloverale Rodeo parade route. A drop in attendance can have a big impact on finances, especially by the end of the year, treasurer Gerry Spielmacher said, delivering his report March 13. “If we could get a good year behind us, we could get our finances back in really good, strong order.” Last year’s challenges forced the board of directors to make a number of changes, including ending the contract of general manager Dave Melenchuk. Mike MacSorley, a former vice president of the PNE, was hired in October, and he’s hired several new staff members, including a
new events manager, office administrator and accountant. Along with the world’s top-ranked cowboys and cowgirls, the 2013 Cloverdale Rodeo May 17-20 will feature additional competitions, including the Mutton Bustin, the Rib Fest and BBQ Competition, and will see return of the World Freestyle RoundUp Skateboarding Competition.

Guilty plea in 2010 murder Dustin Lalonde admits he killed Teri-Lyn Williams
by Sheila Reynolds
A mAn has admitted
to killing a 41-year-old woman three years ago and dumping her body in some bushes in North Surrey. Dustin Lee Lalonde pleaded guilty in court Thursday (March 28) to second-degree murder in the death of Teri-Lyn Williams. Williams’ body was found near 104A Avenue and 136 Street on June 9, 2010.
Williams, who sometimes went by the first name Toni, was a known sex-trade worker, according to police. She was relatively unknown in Surrey, as she was from Calgary and split her time between B.C. and Alberta. Police said Lalonde, 32, was from the Okanagan when he surfaced as a suspect.

TransLink 3.0?
RAESIDE
A
mad scientist couldn’t have come up with an odder creation than TransLink. And a new consultant’s report paid for by the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation seems to agree. Recognizing the fact that TransLink is essentially a provincial creation responsible for overseeing regional priorities yet beset with funding woes and lack of accountability, the report suggests numerous reform options. None appear to be ideal. Critics say it’s time for a change but what changes are necessary? Former transportation minister Kevin Falcon thought he solved the problem when he took priority-setting responsibilities away from the mayors and gave them to a professional board. But that hasn’t worked the way it was hoped. There’s never enough money for transportation priorities so the mayors always seem to be going cap-in-hand to the province, only to be told to look under the couch for spare change or pare down the priorities. TransLink’s mayors’ council has only enough power to be a ready scapegoat for the province. Thus, when big decisions are made – say, building the new Port Mann Bridge or choosing the transit technology for the Evergreen Line – they’re made by the province, leaving the mayors and the TransLink board responsible for unpopular actions such as cutting bus routes or hiking property taxes. According to the consultants, TransLink’s structure – an appointed board of directors in control of all decisions except major revenue increases – is an anomaly worldwide; most other cities have democratically elected representatives who answer directly to their constituents. But does the public want another emasculated but elected board, like boards of education, which have a little responsibility and no authority or revenueraising power? Not likely. More radical surgery might be necessary. One idea would be to create a democratically elected Metro Vancouver land-planning board with responsibility for setting transportation priorities as well as budgets, replacing both the Metro Vancouver board and the TransLink mayors’ council. Voters might yawn at the idea but something has to be done about TransLink and the string-pulling provincial government – whether B.C. Liberal or NDP – has to do it. – Black Press

he Pacific Carbon Trust orchestrated a months-long campaign of calls and letters to discredit a report from B.C.’s Auditor General on its first two big carbon offset projects, before it could be released. Just as the audit report was about to be made public, the trust, a Crown corporation created at taxpayer expense, participated in the leaking of selected critical letters to media outlets. Then the Speaker of the B.C. legislature, Bill Barisoff, made a final, clumsy effort to delay the release of the report. As soon as it was out, Environment Minister Terry Lake tried to discredit it, by blustering about all the highly paid experts who swore up and down that a forest reserve near Kootenay Lake, and a gas flaring reduction project near Fort Nelson, were bona fide carbon offsets worth $6 million of taxpayers’ money. The audit states in plain language, with charts and timelines, that the $6 million was basically given away for nothing. I look forward to further audits on this carbon offset

the company used on many wells before the trust started offering money. EnCana was saving money as well as reducing emissions without collecting offsets. Therefore, the audit concluded, neither of these projects was a credible offset because the emissions savings would have occurred anyway. Here’s the next Pacific Carbon Trust project that should be audited. In a complicated transaction, the trust bought offsets from something called the Great Bear Carbon Credit Limited Partnership. Yes, this is the world-famous forest on B.C.’s North Coast that was subject to a preservation deal hammered out between the Coastal First Nations, the B.C. government and three U.S.-backed environmental groups. That was in 2006. The offset purchases were in 2009 and 2010, years after detailed preservation areas were mapped and codified in law. Again, the trust paid for forest that was already preserved.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7
Tolls or levies: Let the other guy pay Trains
in The March 28 edition of the Leader, a story
stated that a poll of 838 Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley adults showed 36 per cent support for tolls and 33 per cent for vehicle levies. In order to make this story meaningful, the questions posed in the poll should have been stated. The city of residence and the normal
method of commuting of those polled should also have been stated. I suspect that those living north of the Fraser were strongly in favour of tolls and those strongly in favour of vehicle levies mainly use transit. Without knowing the motive for giving a
particular answer to a poll question, the poll loses a great deal of its value. Most people are in favour of that which hurts them the least. They are happy to let the other guy pay.
Doug Smith Surrey
No efficient transit for next generation We are witnessing the biggest
strategic error B.C. has ever made. The fast ferries and the BC Place roof each cost about $500 million but the people of B.C. will end up spending $3.5 billion for the Port Mann Bridge and associated roadworks. There are always deniers but most people realize that the world is at or near peak oil and we will be struggling with supplying, not to mention the environmental issues over the extracting and burning, of this finite resource. The solutions to alleviate traffic congestion were simple: Either buy efficient rapid transit and rail enhancements, or add lanes to facilitate the use of inefficient private vehicles to go everywhere all the time for everything. These issues will not directly affect my generation, but future generations will not have the quick and effective rapid transit system where regions that have bought into long-term solutions will enjoy. Dave Rush Maple Ridge
FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER
a letter writer argues that future generations will suffer because of money spent on the new Port Mann Bridge and other car-based road improvements.
More benefits to SkyTrain than negatives re: “roll in a new transit authority,” Let-
ters, The Leader, March 26. Non-automated light rail, be it for short- or long-distance trips, still requires many cuts across many streets and affects (via traffic lights) stop-and-go, fossil fuelemitting traffic. Unfortunately, as long as SkyTrain is a monetarily – though not an environmentally – greater expense, there’ll be letters
aplenty denouncing this superior form of mass transportation. Regardless of its price, SkyTrain’s benefits considerably outweigh its negatives – unless, of course, one foolishly places breathable air on par, or even less so, with money The promotion of additional fuel-burning buses hopefully will be ignored; and, oh yes, they spew their toxins aplenty with
their unrelenting stop-and-go in vehiclecongested Vancouver. However, there’s much green potential in a massive addition to overhead electric-line grids for a proportional addition of such electric buses that have been a great benefit to Vancouver over many decades. Frank G. Sterle, Jr. White Rock
Lights on Colebrook Road a wasted effort
This leTTer is with regards to
Mayor Dianne Watts’ efforts to make Colebrook Road “safer.’ It is laudable that Watts is acknowledging that something has to be done about the dead bodies that keep showing up on Colebrook Road. However, the implementation of Closed Circuit TV and better lighting is not the solution to the problem. To be frank, it is a waste of time
and money. Sure, the special lighting will provide better visibility and electronic surveillance is up to snuff, too. However, all this will do is result in displacement. This means that the bodies will be dumped in areas that are not well lit and have no cameras. Even an increased police presence will not help the problem. Just focusing on the location
where the body is being dumped is not getting to the root cause of the problem. Whoever was dumping bodies there will merely avoid the area and dump the bodies in a different area. To make matters worse, the mayor chose to announce all these changes. It would have made more sense if these changes had been implemented
in silence. Why tip off the perpetrators? If by some miracle Mayor Watts’ solution of changing the physical environment (lights and cameras) results in some sort of success, hopefully the benefits will spill over to other locations where cameras and new lights were not installed. Shadae Wallace

i read with interest letter writer
Robert Melynchuk’s rant (March 21) about the BNSF “rumbling” through White Rock. A little history is in order. Back in 1901, the monopoly clause imposed by the federal government in 1880 forbidding competing railways from building to the south or southwest of the CPR line, ended. This opened the door for competing railways to build across the Fraser River and through Surrey. In 1907, the Great Northern (now BNSF) relocated its line through Surrey (now White Rock) from Cloverdale to connect with the new bridge at New Westminister. They have been there ever since. The city of White Rock actually leases land from the railway for the parking lot and the promenade that parallels the railway. We are lucky that the railway is gracious enough to allow pedestrians so close to their tracks. I find it hard to believe that 300 trains would roll through there a week. Currently it is 12-15 trains a day. It would be almost impossible to route 300 trains a week on a single track line. Many have proposed relocating the tracks but that is not BNSF’s responsibility. They were there long before any of us were even born. The fact that the city has grown and expanded makes no difference. People knew when they moved there that it was an active railway and with it goes noise, exhaust, and the rumble. BNSF have said they have no intention of moving the tracks and why should they? There is no other level route to move them to and the cost would be in the hundreds of millions. I can understand the concerns of residents but whining and complaining about it is not likely to change the status quo anytime soon. Just learn to live with it.

Police arrested four
Surrey males Thursday morning in relation to an alleged sex assault of two girls in a Newton park. At about 1 a.m. March 28, two 16-year-old girls were confronted by four young males at a park at 135 Street and 62A Avenue, near Northridge Elementary School. The girls reported that the group took their cellphones and allegedly attacked them sexually. Police arrived and obtained descriptions of the group and their car. Moments later, police spotted the car with four young males in it. The four were taken into custody. Police are urging caution to people as the weather gets nicer and young people frequent the parks in greater numbers. “With summer approaching and the evenings getting warmer, we’ll see more people outside hanging out in parks,” said. Cpl. Bert Paquet. He wants to “remind everybody to be aware of where you’re at, your surroundings, and use smart and common sense.” No charges have yet been laid in the alleged attacks. The investigation continues.
Man shot in legs it was just after 6 p.m.
March 24 when police got a call about a man shot in Whalley. When they arrived at King George Boulevard
www.surrey.ca/releaf
and University Boulevard, they found a trail of blood leading them to a home in the area. There they found a man who had a bullet in each of his legs. He was taken to hospital. Two people were brought in for questioning, but have been released. The victim and witnesses are not cooperating, police said. Mounties said it was too early to tell if the shooting was gangrelated. No charges have been laid and an investigation into the incident is ongoing.
Charges in Taser case a 49-year-old Surrey
man is facing multiple charges in connection with an attempted theft last weekend at a Morgan Crossing retail store. Surrey RCMP were called to Winners at 15765 Croydon Dr. March 24, after a man was seen brandishing a Taser gun and pointing the weapon at a lossprevention officer from the store. Upon arrival, officers ordered one man at gunpoint to drop the weapon. According to Mounties, the man arrested is known to police and was wanted on an outstanding warrant. Charges of theft under $5,000, assault with a weapon, possession of a weapon for dangerous purposes and uttering threats have been recommended.

may be on its way for Surrey. The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has issued a call for competitors for a proposed new radio station in Surrey, in response to an application for a new Englishlanguage commercial radio station. South Fraser Broadcasting Inc.
has applied to the CRTC for a licence to operate a commercial FM radio station in Surrey. But given the congestion on the region’s FM dial, the CRTC has issued a call for other potential applicants. In reviewing the applications, the CRTC will look at diversity in news. It will also consider whether the market can support another FM station.
“The possibility that licensing too many stations in a market could lead to a reduction in the quality of service to the local community remains of concern to the commission,” stated the CRTC. “The economic condition of the market and the likely financial impact of the proposed station on existing stations in the market will therefore be relevant.” Applicants must
make a case that there is both the demand and the market for their proposed new station. Online applications must be received by June 17. According to the Canadian Communications Foundation, South Fraser owned and operated the first commercial radio station in Richmond in 1979 – CISL-AM (AM 650) – which was acquired by Astral Media in 2010.

important to them. The event will be a two-way dialogue where residents can discuss ideas, learn how to become more involved in their
community, gather information on topics important to them, and learn more about their city. “As we continue to evolve as a city, we
want our residents to help shape their communities,” said Mayor Dianne Watts. “The community summit is a new and collaborative way to connect with people and share ideas about how to build a stronger Surrey.” The event is taking place Saturday, April 6 at SFU Surrey and the keynote speaker will be Gord Hume, one of Canada’s leading voices on municipal government, cultural planning and creative cities. “The community summit is about bringing people together and having a meaningful dialogue,” said Coun. Barinder Rasode, chair of the summit. “So, we encourage people to explore the topic ideas, join the discussion, and help create a great event.” The summit is a result of feedback received during a series of town hall meetings held in 2012, where residents requested the city host a community forum. It is part of Surrey’s new community consultation framework, which was established in 2011 by a committee comprised of representatives from 38 community associations. This framework is now used as a basis for communications between the city, community groups, residents and businesses.

Eagles take two from Bulldogs BCHL team leads Coastal Conference final 2-0
by Nick Greenizan The Surrey Eagles stretched their home win streak to five games – and seven games overall – en route to taking a commanding 2-0 lead in the BC Hockey League Coastal Conference finals. But unlike their second-round series against Chilliwack, in which the Birds scored at will and cruised to a three-game sweep, the team’s first two games against the Alberni Valley Bulldogs were anything but a walk in the park. On Friday, the two clubs – who faced off just twice during the regular season with the Bulldogs winning once and the teams tying the other – battled to a scoreless draw through nearly the full 60 minutes, until forward Demico Hannoun scored the game’s lone goal with 1:21 left in the third period.

played the role of hero for the hometown team, sending the crowd of 1,028 home happy when he deflected a Craig Wyszomirski wrist shot through Deo just 1:18 into the extra frame. “Nic’s a player who has been one of our best forwards since Christmas, and he always works hard in practice, and works on his deflections in practice, so it was nice to see him get the winner like that,” Erhart said. “Lots of OT goals (happen) when you just throw it on net. We were actually yelling at (Jordan) Klimek to shoot the puck, but he (passed) to Wyszomirski, and he did a great job getting the puck through to the net. “We had two bodies in front of the net, and two of their d-men, so there was really no chance for the goalie on that one.” The OT winner was the first time the Eagles led all game. Neither team scored in the first period, and the Bulldogs took a lead 5:05 into the second when Even Tironese fired a shot past Santaguida just under the crossbar. Adam Tambellini, on the power play, tied the game five minutes later with his league-best eighth post-season goal, but Tironese restored Alberni’s lead before the second intermission when he forced a turnover in the Surrey end of the rink and beat Santaguida with a wrist shot. In the third period, Brady Shaw tied the game midway through the period when, after beating a pair of Bulldog defencemen, he beat Deo with a shot. Santaguida made 31 saves to earn his leaguebest eighth playoff win. His three shutouts, goalsagainst average and savepercentage also leads all playoff goaltenders. Game 3 of the best-ofseven series was played after press deadline Monday night in Port Alberni. Game 4 hits the ice tonight (Tuesday), also on Vancouver Island. Barring a Surrey Eagles’ sweep of the next two games – which would send them into the BCHL Fred Page Cup finals – a fifth game will be played Thursday in South Surrey. Game 6, if necessary, would return to Port Alberni Friday, with a decisive seventh game – again, if necessary – slated for Sunday night in South Surrey.

...and a hospital helped
North Delta thrift shop help Surrey Memorial Hospital buy medical equipment by Boaz Joseph
T
he penny may be out of production at the Royal Canadian Mint, but volunteers are still hard at work helping people save pennies at a North Delta thrift store – all for a good cause. On a busy morning in the sorting room of The Penny Savers’ Thrift Shop, Nina Taylor and Alice Pogue are sifting through incoming donations: Clothes, stuffed toys, dishes, the odd teapot... “I just like to work,” says Taylor, tagging small, gold-rimmed plates with price stickers. Both ladies will be 82 this year. They’re among 55 active volunteers and members of the Surrey Memorial Hospital (SMH) Auxiliary who run the thrift store to support the SMH Foundation. Day manager Cora Brown is eager to show a visitor around the store. The showroom is divided into sections like any department store – mens’ and ladies’ apparel, shoes, toys, sporting goods, books and household items. There’s lots to see: Friendly, blue-vested volunteers, a gaggle of mannequins watching the clothing racks, old-school LPs next to DVDs, Dutch wooden clogs, even a pair of $8 sombreros. Hidden away are the situational necessities: A staff washroom filled with boxes of VHS tapes, a storage room stuffed with seasonal items (Christmas, Halloween, etc.), a backroom shelf with single shoes (their twins are in the showroom), and a sorting room with its topography modified by a small mountain of bags filled with clothes to be sifted through. Brown has been part of the Penny Savers’ Thrift Store action since 2004. She started volunteering in Newton at the last of a succession of locations in Surrey. The shop, which moved to North Delta that same year, is now closer to her home. (As well as being in charge on her shift, she’s also provides the ride for Taylor, a fellow

North Deltan). Not long ago, Brown was offered the role of store coordinator, a liaison between the Auxiliary and the thrift shop, but being of a hands-on, non-bureaucratic nature, declined. “I don’t do meetings. I don’t do cash.” Instead, she and the day managers tend to the volunteers, donated items, merchandise and customers while the Auxiliary staff take care of the books. It’s not always easy at the shop. There are rare shoplifters and even customers who have tried to bring their own homemade price tags. Out back, three full-sized couches lay next to two dumpsters. The Auxiliary will eventually have to pay remove them. Despite signs several warning sings
around the building, some people continue to dump unwanted items (TVs, microwaves and mattresses) at the back door after hours. “People don’t read signs,” laments Brown. “Do they care?” She soon relents. “But that’s okay. (This business is) what makes money for the hospital.” Auxiliary secretary Lila Kawasaki says SMH Auxiliary is using money collected from thrift shop sales to fulfill their pledge of $250,000 (over three to five years) to buy medical equipment for the hospital. The annual 100 Days to Give Campaign received $40,000 in March 2012 and is expected to receive about $65,000 next month – with the entire campaign to be matched by an equal donation from businessman and philanthropist Jim Pattison.
n Surrey Memorial Hospital Auxiliary needs volunteers for both their SMH lottery booth (Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and Mondays/Wednesdays/Thursdays from 12:30-4 p.m.) and in the Penny Savers’ Thrift Shop, 11961 82 Ave. (there are various shifts). Detailed descriptions are available at www.govolunteer.ca Applicants must be at least 16 years old and able to commit to a regular (once/twice a week) schedule for a minimum of six months until Aug. 31. Suitable applicants will be contacted for an interview and those selected for placement must provide references.

IT WaS a star-studded event at Pastime Sports & Games in Central City Shopping Centre Wednesday afternoon. Vancouver Canuck’s defenceman Ryan Kesler, “The Green Men,” and Sophie Tweed-Simmons were on hand signing photos to benefit the Centre for Child Development. Partial proceeds from the celebrity autograph event will help support Sophie’s Place, a child advocacy centre that helps physically, mentally, or sexually abused youth up to the age of 18 in a child-friendly environment. The Centre for Child Development is also hosting its 12th-annual Run, Walk and Roll fundraiser event on Sunday June, 2 at Bear Creek Park. For more information, visit www.cdfbc.ca
The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the City of Surrey hereby notify the public of a planned closure of 16 Avenue at Highway 99 for the construction of the new interchange. 16 Avenue will be closed where it crosses over Highway 99. While 16 Avenue is closed the exisitng two lane underpass will be demolished and a new six lane structure will be built. Truck traffic will be diverted to 8 Avenue and all other traffic can use either 24 Avenue or 8 Avenue. This closure is scheduled to begin April 1, 2013 and continue until August 31, 2013 and allows the new structure to be built much more quickly, minimizes impacts to the surrounding community, provides a safer environment for both drivers and project workers and reduces overall project costs.

In March 2013, the Family Law Act replaced the Family Relations Act. The definition of “spouse” under the new Act makes no distinction between married couples, common law spouses, and same-sex couples. Couples entering spousal relationships or considering separation or divorce should pay particular attention to the effect the new Act will have on their property rights. The Family Law Act redefines “family property” to include all real and personal property acquired by either spouse from the date the
spousal relationship began until the date of separation. Property that is excluded from division are specifically listed under the Act: gifts, inheritance, damages for bodily injury or payments from an insurance policy (not including wage loss), to name just a few. Under the new rules, all assets and debts acquired during the spousal relationship are subject to division upon separation or divorce unless the property falls within the exceptions. The burden is on the spouse claiming the exclusion to demonstrate that the property should not ICBC & INJURY CLAIMS

be divided between the spouses. Couples should use caution when co-mingling “family assets” with previously owned or excluded property. Wages earned, assets acquired, and debts incurred during a spousal relationship are likely to fall under the umbrella of “family assets.” So, for example, a spouse who uses wages earned during the spousal relationship to pay for renovations to a condominium owned prior to the relationship may be entitling his spouse to an interest in the increased market value resulting from those renovations. The determination of how family assets and debts are ultimately divided depends on the specific circumstances of each case. Although the Family Law Act provides greater clarity for classifi cation of property, its broad application can be problematic for individuals who may unintentionally fall under the new definition of a “spouse”. Individuals who wish to preserve certain assets should seek legal advice and consider a written agreement respecting division of property and debt.

LAST WEEK’S federal budget
brought a smile to local charities like Deltassist Family and Community Services. Buried in the budget document was a bonus for making charitable donations. The government will increase the amount of the deduction by 25 per cent, up to a 54-percent credit for certain donations. Once provincial credits are included, the maximum credit is closer to 68 per cent. “As a registered charity that relies on public donations, this was a welcome surprise,” said Doug Sabourin, Executive Director of Deltassist. “Increasing the amount of tax returned to someone donating to a charity makes writing a cheque feel a whole lot easier. And we can use the help.” In B.C., an individual making a $500 donation would get $296 of tax returned to them, after factoring in provincial credits. A $1,000 donation results in a credit
of $640 – nearly two-thirds to Deltassist will receive a of the donation coming back tax receipt.
