CITY OF SURREY IS SPENDING MORE THAN $200,000 ON ‘YES’ CAMPAIGN ▶ METRO VANCOUVER RESIDENTS ARE BEING URGED TO VOTE FOR A 0.5-PER-CENT TRANSIT TAX KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey is spending between $200,000 and $300,000 on its “yes” campaign for a proposed new transit tax this spring. The yes campaign launched at Surrey City Hall last week, with the mayor expressing the need for a 0.5-per-cent increase in the seven-per-cent Provincial Sales Tax to pay for improved transit and transportation infrastructure throughout the region. Some of the work planned for Surrey includes a light rail system, more buses and a new Pattullo Bridge. Metro Vancouver mayors are leading the charge on the yes side of the campaign, while newly elected Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said securing a yes vote is her first order of business. Hepner told The Leader Thursday the city is earmarking between $200,000 and $300,000 for expenses for its yes campaign. Hepner believes costs will be closer to $200,000. That’s equivalent to the annual property taxes on 115 homes worth $650,000 in Surrey. Linda Hepner Regionally, Hepner said, the Mayors’ Council will be spending “a few million” dollars on the yes campaign. In Surrey, the city will be using its own staff and printing department, and will be making heavy use of social media to keep costs low, she said. Surrey will also be paying for consultants and some advertising. Hepner acknowledges the yes campaign has some challenging work ahead. “We certainly do, it’s not going to be an easy yes,” Hepner said. She noted the challenge will be keeping people focused on the transit plan, rather than the inner workings of TransLink. “It’s not unlike a political campaign, except it’s more important to the region,” Hepner said. Ballots will start going out by mail to Metro Vancouver homes on March 16. Voters have until May 29 to mail back their response. To participate, residents must be registered to vote in B.C.

Steve Fonyo stabbed in Surrey house
▼ THREE ASSAILANTS BROKE INTO FORMER CANCER FUNDRAISER’S WHALLEY HOME KEVIN DIAKIW
Steve Fonyo was stabbed and was taken to hospital after a home invasion last week. On Friday, Feb. 13 at 5 a.m., three people wearing dark clothing broke down the door of Fonyo’s home in the 11000-block of 136 Street. Fonyo, 49, suffered a stab wound to the back and was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital in critical but stable condition. He remains in hospital Surrey RCMP said the stabbing was a targeted incident and they are currently looking for the three individuals believed to be involved in the attack. Fonyo, a cancer survivor who lost his leg to the disease when he was 12, was 19 when he completed Steve Fonyo a 14-month run across Canada – completing the one-legged run of fellow amputee, Terry Fox, who had been forced to abandon the Marathon of Hope four years earlier. During his run, Fonyo raised $16 million for cancer research. Fonyo was named an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1985. Two decades later, he was stripped of the honour after he amassed several criminal convictions, including assault, forgery and drunk driving. He has also struggled with an addiction to cocaine.

Where would you spend school dollars? ▼ SURREY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS SEEKING INPUT FOR 2015-2016 BUDGET
SHEILA REYNOLDS
The Surrey Board of Education is seeking input on what its budget priorities should be for the 2015-2016 school year. As in the past several years, the board says the needs will once again outpace funds received from government. And that may result in “difficult choices” as trustees figure out how to best serve Surrey and White Rock students. Last year, the district had to shave about $9 million in expenditures in order to balance the $589-million operating budget and maintain existing programs and services, resulting in staff layoffs and re-assignments. Since 2008, similar cost-cutting moves have been made annually, including reducing support and district staff and
cutting the number of instructional days in the year (extending spring break, etc.) to save Teacher on Call costs. More than 90 per cent of the operating budget pays for staff – teachers, education assistants, principals and support staff such as secretaries and custodians – while less than 10 per cent goes to services and supplies, including utilities. (The capital budget is separate and pays for land and buildings). Each year, the board meets with employee groups, parents and community organizations to discuss challenges and issues facing the school district, and gather input. Community members are also welcome to send submissions to budget@surreyschools.ca by Feb. 27. Submissions may be mailed to Secretary Treasurer Wayne Noye, 14033 92 Ave., Surrey, B.C. V3V 0B7. A guide called Understanding School District Finances is available at http://bit.ly/1DmIABA Additional information on the school district, including financial reports, are available at www.surreyschools.ca under the “About” tab.
Homicide team probes death of toddler Lost dog abused ▶ A THREE-YEAROLD GIRL DIED OF HER INJURIES SUSTAINED IN A CLOVERDALE HOME KEVIN DIAKIW
It’s a fatality the parents are calling a complete accident. On Wednesday, Feb. 11, Surrey RCMP was called to the home in the 5800-block of 182 Street and rushed the girl to hospital with undisclosed injuries.
It was there she succumbed to her injuries. The death was classified as suspicious and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took the lead in the case. The girl’s mother Jennifer Johanson and stepfather Cody Graham told CTV News the death of Charlee was “100 per cent accidental.” Graham said Charlee was too small to reach the bathroom sink, so she stood on a small plastic bin. She jumped down, slipped and smacked her head. She seemed fine that day, but had a “horrible seizure” the next day.
The full CTV interview can be found at: http://bit.ly/17HIiKj Sgt. Stephanie Ashton, media relations officer for IHIT, said “any time we investigate a suspicious death we treat it very seriously. We ask that the public keep in mind a child has died and her family is now dealing with that death.” IHIT is asking anyone who may have information to call the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551-IHIT(4448) or email at ihittipline@rcmp-grc.gc.ca If you wish to remain anonymous, provide your information on the web to Crime Stoppers at solvecrime.ca or by phone at 1-800-222-8477.

A woman has been apprehended under the Mental Health Act after a dog was brutally beaten and stabbed with scissors. Ryan Westaway’s three-year-old black Labrador Ryder went missing on Saturday near Chimney Heights Park, at 72 Avenue and 146 Street. Westaway and his family had just recently moved to the area. On Sunday, Surrey RCMP found the dog at a home they were attending on another matter. Ryder had been beaten and stabbed with scissors. Pieces of jewelry were found in his eye and his stomach. He is undergoing surgery and it’s hoped he will make a full recovery. The woman believed responsible is being held in custody while charges under the Animal Cruelty Act are being considered, police say.

SkyTrain outages last summer. Jarvis received total compensation of $468,000 in 2013, which included his base salary of $319,244 plus executive bonuses that also became targets for TransLink critics. It’s unclear if Jarvis will be paid only the base salary as advisor or is still eligible for bonuses. A TransLink spokesperson said that may be determined at the next board meeting March 30. Jarvis took over in 2009 after former CEO Tom Prendergast returned to the U.S. following a series of failed negotiations between mayors and the province to secure more funding. Jarvis eliminated deficits at TransLink by overseeing a major cost-cutting drive, which included reforms to the bus system to serve more people and pull in more revenue at the same cost. No campaigner Jordan Bateman called the CEO shuffle “a piece of the solution” but said “dramatic” governance changes are needed at TransLink, including an end to secret board meetings and removal of most executives. He said referendum campaign opposition forced the removal of Jarvis and said it’s a sign that voting No is “the way to get this organization changed completely.” – with files from Tom Fletcher

Sex offender lands in Whalley ▶ JAMES WILLIAM CONWAY IS CONSIDERED A HIGH RISK KEVIN DIAKIW
A high-risk sex offender who came to Surrey this week has settled in Whalley, The Leader has learned. BC Corrections issued a warning on Monday (Feb. 9) that 40-year-old James William Conway had been released and was planning to move to Surrey. The Leader has since learned from a reliable source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, that Conway is located in Whalley. Surrey RCMP know his exact address, but the source would not provide that level of detail to The Leader. His offenses include sexual contact with a minor. “Conway has a criminal history which includes sexual interference of (a) person under 16, sexual assault, arson, damaging property, fail to comply with disposition and breach of
recognizance,” BC Corrections said in a release. “He has maintained a versatile pattern of sexual offending against female James children in a Conway predatory and opportunistic manner.” Conway is described as 6’4”, weighing 276 pounds. He is Caucasian with brown hair and blue eyes. Longtime Whalley resident Lucy Matich said Conway’s relocation there becomes just one more thing for the embattled community to manage. “I can’t believe he is in our neighbourhood,” Matich said Thursday, adding it makes local residents think they have to watch their backs all the time. “It’s just added stress to your day.” Matich is a member of several community groups, including Block Watch, and tries to stay involved. “I don’t know what the answer is, but it’s a concern, definitely,” Matich
said of high-risk offenders being released into communities. “I can’t believe he’s in our neighbourhood.” Pete Nichols, President of the Whalley Business Improvement Association, is bothered but not surprised that Conway has located there. “I don’t want him here, I don’t think it’s fair to the community,” Nichols said Thursday. Nichols said decades of bad planning on Surrey’s part have made Whalley
a natural fit for folks like Conway. A compression of social services in the area accompanied by an abundance of drugs and alcohol make the community a magnet for people looking for those things. “They’ve given a level of comfort to people like him that are going to look for a place to come to,” Nichols said. “The last 35 years has allowed for the abuse of this area by people like him.” Local authorities are working with BC Corrections, seeking to have Conway moved to another city.

VIEWPOINT
The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Tuesday Februar y 17 2015
Nice try, TransLink Jordan Bateman is leading the “no” side in the referendum proposing adding 0.5 per cent to the Provincial Sales Tax to pay for new transit projects in Metro Vancouver. He has insisted all along that the referendum is really a prime opportunity to send a message to TransLink. That message is, in his view, that it needs to deal with issues more transparently, proactively and cost-efficiently before it is entitled to one more cent of taxpayers’ money. His opponents, the Better Transit and Transportation Coalition, and the Mayors’ Council (except for three mayors who oppose the sales tax idea), state that the referendum has nothing to do with TransLink. They say it is about securing a source of funding to build new projects which, they admit, will be managed and operated by TransLink. Bateman’s message is clearly resonating.
TransLink’s secretive board has voted to remove Ian Jarvis from the CEO position, although he will continue to collect his $468,000 annual salary until his contract expires in 2016 and will continue to advise TransLink. Jarvis is being replaced temporarily by Doug Allen, who earlier worked in reorganizing BC Ferries. He will be paid $35,000 per month. Allen had been running InTransit BC, the private company that operates the Canada Line. Even before the mayors decided on the sales tax increase as the best way to boost transit funding, it was obvious that TransLink’s record would be a big issue with voters. Bateman, who in his capacity as B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation has revealed many of its blunders, had a nice, easy target. It’s high time the B.C. Lib-
RAESIDE
erals admitted that giving a number of secretive, private boards authority over how to spend and raise tax dollars at TransLink and its various subsidiaries isn’t working. When the first act of the private TransLink board was to give directors handsome retainers, it was obvious that serving the public was low on the list of priorities. Transit is an essential component of large urban areas. Much of what TransLink does works quite well. But mismanagement of SkyTrain breakdowns, the delayed release of Compass cards, transit police overtime costs and generous executive compensation have turned off a great number of hard-working taxpayers. Sorry TransLink, but your bumbling attempt to throw Jarvis under the bus (albeit with a wallet full of cash) isn’t going to bring them back on side.
Annual health care crisis grips B.C. BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher
The annual ritual of declaring a crisis in health care is upon us, with the B.C. Liberal government boasting that we have the best system in Canada, while the NDP and the B.C. Nurses’ Union (BCNU) try to portray it as the worst. The BCNU is the last big public sector union still to settle in the latest round of contract talks. Feeding horror stories to the media is part of its strategy, and this time it was a patient at Abbotsford Hospital assigned a bed in a small shower room for a month due to chronic overcrowding. Hospital officials said his care wasn’t compromised. We’ve seen it in Abbotsford, Surrey and elsewhere: A new hospital or expansion is built and is immediately overcrowded. We are reminded every winter that influenza season brings a wave of people into emergency, expecting treatment for a viral infection that in most cases can only run its course. Many people still don’t understand
what “the flu” is, beyond the notion that it sounds serious enough to tell the boss you won’t be in to work. And as fewer doctors choose the endless demands of family practice, the expectation that all problems must be dealt with quickly and for free seems to grow as inexorably as the health care budget. An emergency physician of my acquaintance provided a typical scenario for night shift at the ER. Where once nights were quiet, now there are patients waiting for hours, around the clock. Several are drunk and one has urinated on the floor. Surveys show as many as half of ER visits are alcohol-related, from overdoses to fights, falls, car crashes and chronic conditions. Into this chaos comes a mother with her young child, who has nasal and chest congestion. The child’s cough led her to throw up, so off to ER they went, blithely assuming that this is where you bring a kid
with a cold. This week’s B.C. budget brings us a step closer to the moment when half of all provincial revenues go to keep the health care system running. In the legislature, NDP health critic Judy Darcy blasted Health Minister Terry Lake for the government’s failure to keep its 2010 promise to find everyone in B.C. a family doctor. Lake allowed they’re still working on that, and then plugged the latest Conference Board of Canada study showing B.C. ranks third in the world in health care outcomes, second only to Switzerland and Sweden. Darcy, a former president of the Hospital Employees’ Union, was quick to respond: “This is surely a first in question period, the Minister of Health going back to the record of the NDP government in the 1990s, because we’ve had the best health outcomes in Canada since 1993. The fact is that we exercise more, we

smoke less and we drink less, and that’s to the credit of British Columbians.” We also have more elderly people, as Premier Christy Clark argued in 2011 when the federal government changed its financing formula. After years of increasing transfers by six per cent per year, the late federal finance minister Jim Flaherty announced that starting in 2014, increases would be tied to economic growth, but wouldn’t fall below three per cent. This of course was treated as a cut, rather than continued increases above inflation. But there it is, and all provinces have to deal with it. Darcy is quite right that personal responsibility is the key, something to remember as the usual squabbling of special interests continues.

Champion the end of the TransLink board and the waste they have become and put the power back in the hands of the people. For crime, obviously more police is not the answer. Pay off the debt of the new city hall that never should have been built. Widen Fraser Highway from King George Boulevard to 148 Street so we could have four lanes all the way to Langley. Gridlock for about four hours a day and thousands of more vehicles passing through Surrey to avoid the tolls – this is costing Surrey plenty. Meanwhile, more taxes and fees, and you acting surprised about the budget needs when most of council was there for the last four years and knew what was happening. So far my decision to not vote for you has been the right one. Brad Anderson

Pay by phone would help ▼ BRING TECHNOLOGY TO HOSPITAL PARKING METERS I don’t mind paying for parking at hospitals. But what upsets me is the obsolete system I’m forced to use to pay for it. Here in the 21st century, many paid parking lots offer pay by phone where for an extra 25 cents I can pay for my parking from my phone, and when my time is about to expire, I get a text reminding me to top up. In those lots, I’m always paid up and I never overpay. But to park at our hospitals I have to use cash or a credit card, and – worst of all – I must guess in advance how long I will be there. That’s impossible to know in advance when doctors often run late and patients may be kept several hours for observation. Guessing how much parking to buy is a gamble and I’ve felt stress both from knowing that

▼ VOTING ‘YES’ FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS The transit referendum’s “no” side has a valid point that the B.C. government and TransLink could have much more accountability for taxpayers’ money. However, since they are not going to change their ways in my lifetime and I want to improve lives and the environment for the fast-growing Lower Mainland, I am going to swallow the bitter pill and vote yes in the transit referendum. The substantial benefits include: reducing emissions improving our air quality, fewer smoggy days, an effective transit system leading to fewer traffic accidents, time saved on daily commutes and better health for residents as they reach daily fitness goals by walking to transit or cycling. The pioneers that came before endured hardship for our sake, so I think the 35 cents a day that it will cost me is something I can endure for the health and welfare of our future generations.

Coldest Night of the Year coming to North Surrey on Feb. 21 ▶ SURREY URBAN MISSION SOCIETY IS PARTICIPATING IN THE THIRD-ANNUAL WALK TO HELP THE LESS-FORTUNATE EVAN SEAL
The Surrey Urban Mission Society (SUMS) is holding it’s third-annual “Coldest Night of the Year” walk on Feb. 21 to help raise much-needed funds and awareness for those in need in the North Surrey area. SUMS, located at 10776 King George Blvd., serves several thousand meals a month to the homeless and low-income residents, with more than 1,200 meals served just this last weekend. Over the last two years, SUMS has raised more than $40,000
during the walk, but this year the goal is $50,000. “We have a lot of people who are really struggling to buy groceries,” said SUMS Executive Director Jonquil Hallgate. “So over the course of a month we have a variety of programs going on, not just the meals.” The money raised this year would be used to purchase food and provide meals as well as fund a teaching kitchen to help up to 12 students dealing with various barriers earn a professional cooking certification – a program that would then be continued on a yearly basis. There are five- and 10-kilometre routes for the Coldest Night of the Year event. To get involved, either as a walker or a sponsor, go to www.sums place.org or call 604-961-2170.

B.C.’s chief coroner has called on the B.C. government to look for ways to strengthen its graduated licensing system for young drivers and consider a pilot project of electronic speed enforcement in high-risk areas to reduce the number of
young people who die in car crashes. The B.C. Coroners’ Service reviewed all 106 deaths of young drivers between 2004 and 2013, finding that speed, impairment or lack of seatbelt use were contributing factors in most cases. While the death rate for drivers aged 16 to 18 has declined by two thirds since 2008, it remains the leading cause of death for the age group, with teenage boys aged 17 and 18 at greatest risk of death or injury. Attorney General
B.C. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe. BLACK PRESS Suzanne Anton said the government has no intention of returning to photo radar for speed
enforcement, but she will examine the recommendation to test a “speed on green” function for

intersection cameras that could identify excessive speeding in areas of high accident risk. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the last review of B.C.’s stricter licence system for new drivers showed a 28 per cent reduction in crashes involving young drivers, but that was in 2006. “It hasn’t been reviewed since, so I think it’s a very practical suggestion on the part of the coroner’s office to take a look at the program and see if there are some means to further strengthen it,” Stone said. The coroners’ analysis showed 68 of 106 drivers were at the “novice” stage when they died. Of those, 18 had consumed alcohol and seven were driving with too many passengers who were not family members, and without a supervisor. There were 14 deaths of young drivers with a learner’s licence, the first stage of the graduated system. Of those, 11 were driving with no supervisor, 10 had consumed alcohol, three were driving during restricted hours and two had more than one non-supervisor passenger in the vehicle. Distraction by mobile phone use was found to be a factor in only one case. Chief Coroner Lisa Lapointe said better data collection on accidents would help understand the risks. In many of the cases reviewed, the posted speed limit at the scene was not recorded, and the number of drivers who took driving lessons other than the ICBC-approved course was also not known.

Prolific crime tied to drugs, alcohol, mental illness: Panel ▶ LACK OF ACCESS TO TREATMENT ‘A MAJOR ISSUE,’ REPORT SAYS JEFF NAGEL
A blue ribbon panel on crime reduction has urged the province to concentrate even more on the few prolific offenders who commit most offences and expand drug addiction treatment and services for the mentally ill. Chaired by Abbotsford-South MLA and criminologist Darryl Plecas, the panel appointed by Justice Minister Suzanne Anton also urges the province to appoint a senior crime fighting leader to get different agencies to work better together. The province has already passed legislation that will allow it to force hold-out municipalities to join specialized policing teams, such as the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. The panel report said lack of access for drug and alcohol addiction treatment was “a major issue” it heard across the province, and was told that in Port Hardy, for example, 500 people needed treatment but there were only six treatment beds. “The lack of funding for abstinence-based and other recovery support programs was described as a serious issue everywhere and as one of the main reasons for the high rates of recidivism observed across the province amongst offenders suffering from substance abuse disorder.” The report recommends spending more money on drug addiction treatment and mental health services, citing estimates that every dollar spent curing addiction cuts drug re-
lated-crime and justice costs by up to $7, and $12 if health care costs are counted. The report also calls for a task force to probe problems with the proliferation of unlicensed and sometimes “predatory” drug recovery houses. It noted there are 240 drug recovery houses in the Fraser Health region but just eight are properly licensed. Jail doesn’t stop persistent offenders, the report said, adding it’s “particularly ineffective” with the severely addicted or mentally ill. More than two-thirds of offenders in the corrections system in 2012 were repeat offenders, and 40 per cent had 10 or more convictions. Police have been targeting prolific offenders as pilot projects for several years in Surrey, Prince George, Williams Lake, Kamloops, Victoria and Nanaimo. Analysts sift data to anticipate repeat crimes, identified chronic offenders are watched more closely on release and they get social supports that help them break away from the crime track. The re-offence rate of those those career criminals dropped 40 per cent in the first year after release, while more of them took up offers of housing and social services, and had less contact with police. The report recommends that approach be taken province-wide, noting crime rates in B.C. have fallen faster than anywhere else in North America, in part because of crime reduction strategies. The province should also aim to monitor more offenders with electronic ankle bracelets, the report said, and improve rehabilitation and treatment

For history buffs – or simply those interested in learning a little more about the city they call home – a heritage bus tour of Surrey is planned for two days later this month. In conjunction with B.C. Heritage Week, Historic Stewart Farm will host a bus tour on Thursday, Feb. 19 and again on Saturday, Feb. 21. This year’s tour will focus on some of Surrey’s oldest neighbourhoods, and those taking part will learn little-known details about areas such as Crescent Beach, Cloverdale, Hall’s Prairie, Semiahmoo Trail and more. Cloverdale, in partic-
The Historic Stewart Farm’s Heritage Bus Tour will share little-known stories about Surrey’s oldest neighbourhoods – including Cloverdale, shown here in 1950 looking north on 176 Street, with the Clover Inn and Clova Theatre on right, and Cloverdale United Church on the far left. SURREY ARCHIVES
ular, is rife with history, from the Clova Theatre – which served as a movie hall for nearly 70 years – to the Cloverdale Interurban Station. The outing ends with a stop at Historic Stewart Farmhouse for tea and treats. “The focus this year is on neighbourhoods, and some of Surrey’s original city centres,”
said Jerrilin Spence, curator of exhibits and programs at Stewart Farm. “There are a lot of things about Surrey that people may not even realize as they drive through a particular neighbourhood. At the very least, it’ll make your commute a lot more interesting (after the tour).”
The heritage tours – which run from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. each day – are a way for people, whether they are longtime residents, new arrivals, or visitors, to learn more about the areas around them, Spence said. “What we see is it gives people a much better sense of their community, a sense of
place,” she said. “A lot of time, living in the here and now, you don’t realize all the history around you, or you don’t know how something came to be.” Cost for the tour is $25 per person, and pre-registration is required as space on the bus is limited. To register, call 604-5926956.

The team – Grade 7 students Serina St. James, Sarah Tisdale and Armaan Randhawa, and Grade 6 student Stephanie Lee – beat out six other teams in the final round en route to the victory. “They had to buy a duffle bag to transport all their book prizes home,” said Nancy Davidson, the national co-ordinator for Kids’ Lit Quiz Canada.

“We’ll have to focus even more on international books. There’s still a lot of reading to be done,” said Chong.

The team travelled back to B.C. last Tuesday. They’ll be on the road again in a few months, however, as they prepare to compete on the world stage. As Canadian champs, the students have now qualified for an even bigger event – the World Cup of Reading, which is set for Connecticut in July. “The students are absolutely shocked and thrilled… and excited to represent Canada in the Worlds,” said Southridge teacher Joyce Chong, the
team’s coach. “I don’t think it’s quite sunk in for them yet. They just keep looking at me and saying ‘I can’t believe we won.’” Kids Lit Quiz is an annual literary tournament aimed at promoting reading among elementary school students. Southridge advanced to the nationals after winning the provincial Kids’ Lit Quiz on Jan. 23 in Vancouver. At the provincial event, the teams are asked 100 questions from 10 different categories, all of them relating to children’s literature. The topics are wide-ranging, and can include everything from classic literature, Shakespeare and comic books to more modern fare such as Harry Potter. In provincial rounds, teams are allowed to debate amongst themselves before giving an answer. Nationals, however, were a speed-round format – meaning as soon as any team member had an answer, they had to buzz in quickly and give it, with no chance to consult with teammates. As well, the nationals were only five rounds, with teams receiving 200 points for a correct answer. An incorrect answer was a 100-point deduction. Southridge finished with 3,800 points, which was 1,200 better than the second-place team. “It was close to tied after (three rounds), but we really pulled ahead in the ‘authors’ category,” explained Chong. “And the kids played it very smart. When they took the lead, they only answered questions they were 100 per cent sure about, to avoid
deductions.” Davidson called Southridge’s victory “a convincing win” and hoped it would encourage other B.C. schools

▼ SURREY STUDENT NAMED ONE OF 30 LORAN SCHOLARS
▼ ORA SCENTS CREATOR TO COMPETE FOR REGIONAL STUDENT ENTREPRENEUR TITLE Simon Fraser University student Kevin Cruz, creator of ORA Scents, is Enactus Canada’s BC 2015 Student Entrepreneur Provincial Champion. Cruz, of Surrey, will showcase his business at the organization’s regional exposition in Calgary on March 13. ORA Scents is a mobile device company touting what Cruz calls the world’s first app-enabled scent diffuser, allowing users to create and control scents in real time. “In the home lighting and sound system sectors, people can control their environments,” says Cruz, a fourth-year student in SFU’s Beedie School of Business. “ORA uniquely offers this same ability using scent, the sense most closely tied to a person’s mood. “I noticed that the emerging trend of smart technology has given rise to new home devices like app-enabled light bulbs, thermostats, and sound systems; devices that appeal to the senses of sight and sound. However no one in the market is doing what ORA Scents is doing with the sense of smell.” Cruz, a graduate of Surrey’s Holy Cross High School, has received significant help along the way from SFU’s Venture Connection program, which provides support for student ventures from initial idea to business validation. Cruz will compete against three other Western Canada student provincial champions for the regional title and the chance to move on to the 2015 Enactus Canada National Exposition in Toronto May 11-13. The national champion will receive a $10,000 cash prize and take home the John Dobson Cup. The John Dobson Foundation sponsors the competition.

A Surrey student has risen above 45 high-achieving Canadian students to be chosen for a scholarship worth up to $100,000. Last month, Anthony Hope, a student at Johnston Heights Secondary, was named among 75 Loran Scholar finalists (chosen from 3,800 applicants). On Sunday, he found out he was one of the top 30 selected for the award. “Blessed, honoured and extremely privileged to be a 2015 Loran Scholar,” Hope posted on Twitter, thanking his supporters, as well as fellow scholars and finalists. “…let’s keep doing good for the world!” Each Loran Scholar receives a Loran Award, valued at up to $100,000 over four years for undergraduate studies in Canada. They also receive mentorship and unique opportunities to take on leadership roles in their chosen fields. The Loran Scholars Anthony Hope Foundation is a national charity that partners with 25 universities to invest in “exceptional” young Canadians. Hope, who graduates from high school this year, advocated for and helped draft anti-homophobia regulations for the Surrey School District, as well as funding a weekly breakfast program. There were seven B.C. students among the 30 students selected nationwide to receive the award this year.

Hawks lose two, slip to sixth ▶ MAJOR MIDGET TEAM BATTLES FOR HOME ICE ADVANTAGE IN THE PLAYOFFS

Their battle for home ice in the BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML) will likely go down to the last weekend of the season. The Valley West Hawks took to the ice last weekend looking for a pair of wins to climb into third place in the 13-team league. But after two losses to the Vancouver Giants, the team of elite 15-17 year-olds finds itself in sixth position, but still just two points away from fourth position. “It was a tough weekend,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “For only the third time all season, we lost both games (on the same weekend), this one to one of the hottest teams in the league.” The Hawks were drubbed 11-5 Saturday evening in Coquitlam, then fell 7-2 in the rematch Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. Their record fell to 18-12-6 (won-lost-tied), and with 42 points, they are one back of the Vancouver Canadians and two back of the fourth-place Okanagan Rockets. The Chiefs are now five points clear of the Hawks in third place, with

Jeffrey Stewart (right) of the Valley West Hawks collides with Kyle Johnson of the Vancouver Chiefs during a BC Hockey Major Midget League game Sunday at the Langley Events Centre. The Chiefs won 7-2. BOAZ JOSEPH four games remaining on the schedule. The top four teams in the MML will host a best-of-three quarterfinal series. “Saturday was a game we were chasing the whole way,” said Leung. “The teams combined for 82 penalty minutes and we lost the special teams battle. The Chiefs played really
well. They never let up.” Surrey’s Jeffrey Stewart and Semiahmoo Minor Hockey’s Trevor Ayre each had a goal and two assists in the loss in Coquitlam. Ben Evanish, Daniel Watson and Logan Webber, all from Semiahmoo, netted a goal each. The Chiefs led 3-2 after one period and 7-4 after two.
On Sunday afternoon, Valley West got off to a better start but still came up short. Langley’s Christian Bosa banged home his own rebound just 26 seconds into the game for an early Hawks lead. Just four seconds later, the score was tied after the Chiefs converted a breakaway opportunity. Ayre put Valley West up 2-1 after 20 minutes, with James Malm of Langley earning his second assist of the game. The Chiefs tallied two unanswered goals in the second period to take a 3-2 lead into the final frame, where they added four more goals to their total. “Sunday was a game that got away from us,” said Leung. “You need to seize the moment at key times in the game. We weren’t able to do it Sunday and the Chiefs did.” Valley West will play their final two home games of the season at the Langley Sportsplex next weekend, hosting the 17-16-3 South Island Royals at 12:45 p.m. Saturday and 9:15 a.m. Sunday. They close out the season with two games on Vancouver Island against the North Island Silvertips a week later. The Hawks will be without coach Leung and leading scorer Malm for the final four games, as the two will join Team BC at the Canada Winter Games in Prince George.

OBITUARIES
HILTZ, HAROLD KENNETH April 22, 1931 – January 28, 2015 Harold passed away, at 83 years old, in hospital after some years of declining health. He is dearly missed by his family. Harold is survived by Helena (high school sweetheart, wife of 60 years, soul-mate, caregiver), his 3 children sons Brett (Vicki), Mark (Laura), daughter Kelley (Shaun), grandchildren Brooke (Allen), Jordan (Darrel), Megin, great grandchildren Zachary, Blake; brother Merle (Phyllis) and family; predeceased by his brother Elwyn. He was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, middle child to Frank and Anna Hiltz. Harold wished to thank his many colleagues for an enjoyable 37 year career with the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission and Fisheries and Ocean Canada. Some favourite things and places: fishing and hunting, driving, boats, RVing to the warm south, trips and cruises: the Fraser River, Shuswap Lake, Active Pass, the ocean side and pond at Craig Bay. There wasn’t much that Harold couldn’t figure out, fix or build. A celebration of Harold’s life will be held at the Craig Bay Beach Club, Parksville, February 28th from 1:00 – 3:00pm. In lieu of flowers, consider a donation in his memory to the Parkinson Society British Columbia.
