B.C. CHIPS IN TO FIGHT GANGS ▶ CRITICS SAY PREMIER’S PLEDGE OF $270K FOR SCHOOL PROGRAM FALLS SHORT KEVIN DIAKIW
The province is committing $270,000 in one-time funding to a Surrey school program to stop kids from choosing the gang life. But at least one local politician says it falls far short of what’s necessary to stay on top of the problem. B.C. Premier Christy Clark was at Surrey City Hall on Tuesday afternoon announce the funding, which will augment the successful Surrey Wraparaound Program (Wrap), which works to reduce gang-related activity among youth. continued on page 5

MOTH SPRAY SAFETY QUESTIONED ▶ FRASER HEALTH SAYS AERIAL TREATMENT APPROVED BY HEALTH CANADA JENNIFER LANG
As Surrey residents readied for another round of early morning aerial spraying this week to combat the invasive gypsy moth, there’s growing concern about the treatment agent being used. More than 4,500 hectares in Surrey and another 300 hectares in Surrey-Delta are being treated with Foray 48B. The first set of early morning (approximately 5:30 to 7:30 a.m.) treatments, conducted April
15 to 19 and broadcast by low-flying helicopter, caught some people off guard. Tanya Rowlands said she and her husband developed a sore throat and dry cough, and her dog became ill, requiring an expensive trip to the vet. “I attribute all of this to the spraying,” she said. She has concerns over the formulation of the spray agent and is not convinced it’s safe. Another resident launched an online petition hoping to persuade the B.C. Ministry of Forests to discontinue the aerial treatment. Ryan Bennett also started a Facebook page asking the B.C. Ministry of Environment to stop the spraying. “Health Canada says Btk is safe but it’s not Btk we care about, it’s Foray 48B – it reads right on the label that it is not okay for human contact
either direct or by drift,” Bennett said, adding he and his family members have experienced adverse symptoms. As of Wednesday, the petition had gathered more than 1,225 signatures. Bennett planned to file an appeal with the environmental appeal board but said it was denied, prompting him to organize a protest outside Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux’s office Saturday morning that drew more than a dozen people. Round two of the aerial gypsy moth spraying, began Tuesday of this week and was scheduled to last four days, with the third and final application beginning May 11.

▼ POLICE ISSUE WARNING ABOUT JAMES CONWAY, WHOSE HISTORY INCLUDES CHILD SEX OFFENCES SHEILA REYNOLDS
Less than three months after he was arrested in Surrey for breaching his release conditions, police are warning residents that James Conway, a high-risk sex offender, will be moving to Delta. Conway was freed from custody earlier this year, in February, choosing to live in Surrey. But only a week after his release, he was arrested after allegedly sitting beside a 14-year-old on a bus, contrary to his release conditions that he not be near anyone under 18. On Tuesday (April 28) the Delta Police Department issued a statement saying the 40-year-old has once again been released from jail and is planning to reside in the Delta area. Conway has previously been convicted of three sexual offences against children. His history includes sexual interference of a person under 16, sexual assault and arson. According to B.C. Corrections, he has “maintained a versatile pattern of sexual offending against female children in a predatory and opportunistic manner.” Conway is described as Caucasian, 6’4”, weighing 276 lbs. with James Conway brown hair and blue eyes. He likes to use public transit to get around, police say. He is being monitored electronically by authorities, is under house arrest and is not allowed to leave his home unless accompanied by a case worker In total, he is to adhere to 24 court-ordered conditions Conway has breached his conditions more than once before. In April of 2014, he was caught staring at young girls on SkyTrain, looking down their shirts and engaging them in conversation by producing a teddy bear. He was wearing a fire department hat and golf shirt at the time. He was arrested, charged and convicted of breaching his conditions of release and sentenced to 10 months in jail and three years probation.

RCMP probe Surrey’s 24th shooting in seven weeks ▼ DELTA POLICE SET UP SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS AT 80 AVENUE AND 120 STREET KEVIN DIAKIW
Shootings in Surrey continue unabated, with the latest incident of gunfire – as of The Leader’s press time Wednesday – cracking through the evening air in Whalley on Tuesday night. At about 10:25 p.m. April 28, Surrey RCMP received calls of shots heard near 88 Avenue and 134B Street. When Mounties arrived, they found evidence of guns being fired. A police dog was used to search the area. More evidence of shots being fired was found about a block away at 88A Avenue and 134B Street. It was Surrey’s 24th shooting in the last seven weeks. Early Tuesday morning, Surrey RCMP were also called to 94 Avenue and 124 Street to reports of an unknown number of shots fired. There were also reports of people arguing and cars driving erratically.
When Mounties arrived, they found evidence of a shooting at the scene and a man was also taken to hospital with stab wounds. Surrey RCMP is asking for public assistance, urging anyone who may have seen anything unusual in these areas to come forward and contact the Surrey RCMP at 604599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS ). Information may also be reported to a special tip line at 604-915-9566.

Violent carjacking in Guildford KEVIN DIAKIW
A woman was violently accosted in a retail parking lot in Guildford earlier this week as her assailant tried to steal her car. The woman was attacked at her car in a parking lot in the 9000-block of 152 Street on Monday afternoon. The suspect, a man in his 50s, managed to grab the woman’s keys and then stole her car. A Good Samaritan tried to intervene, but was struck by
the car as the thief took off. An off-duty police officer also saw the stolen car leave the scene and was able to direct police to its whereabouts approximately 12 blocks to the north. Â A man was taken into custody by Surrey RCMP near 102 Avenue and 152 Street, and the stolen car recovered. Â The woman who was attacked was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The Good Samaritan was also taken to
local area hospital with nonlife threatening injuries. “Even when in busy public areas, always be aware of your surroundings. Keep your head up and look alert,� said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann regarding personal safety. Anyone with more information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or www.solvecrime.ca.
â–ś PUBLIC SAFETY IS ‘PARAMOUNT’ from page 1
The targeted areas include most of Cloverdale, from the Langley border to 144 Street, between Highway 10 and 80 Avenue. The spray – Foray 48B – contains the bacteria Btk, which is used to control caterpillars. It kills larvae after they ingest it, but is not toxic to humans, or other mammals, plants, birds, fish, honeybees or other beneficial insects. It’s approved for use on organic farms. While there have been a number of unconfirmed reports on social media of residents with symptoms associated with spraying during round one of aerial treatment, Fraser Health isn’t backing up those claims. “Fraser Health is aware of only one incident where an individual came to hospital as a precaution after not feeling well after the aerial spraying,� said Tasleem Juma, senior consultant, public affairs, with Fraser Health. “We understand people have concerns regarding the gypsy moth aerial spraying over Surrey, Cloverdale and Delta,� Juma said, adding Health Canada has approved the product for aerial application over populated areas. “The active ingredient, Btk, is only

RON KUBARA PHOTO effective in a caterpillar’s stomach. It is not harmful in humans, livestock, birds, pets, fish or bees,� Juma said. “It’s important to know that if untreated, the moth could cause significant damage to the area’s forests, orchards, farms, and urban trees.� However, on Monday, “as a precautionary measure,� Fraser Health advised residents to avoid contact with the spray and stay indoors, with the windows and doors closed, for at least 30 minutes after the spray has been completed. Residents may wish to wait five hours after spraying in order to “air out any concentration of Btk that may have entered the house through air vents or other openings,� said Dr. Lisa Mu, medical health officer for Fraser Health. The spray leaves a
residue of droplets that can be removed with water and a bit of scrubbing, but normal weather will eliminate them in about a week, she said. Also this week, residents received a reminder notice in the mail from the B.C. Ministry of Forests that said people with health concerns can contact HealthLink by calling 811 and can also view a health fact sheet at www.healthlinkbc.ca/ healthfiles/hfile90a. stm. Cloverdale’s location at the crossroads of Highways 10 and 15 add to the ministry’s concern the moth could expand its territory by “hitchhiking� on human transportation, the notice read. “The treatment area is of particular concern due to the boat, rail and heavy automobile traffic in close proximity to agricultural production
and the U.S. border.� The forest ministry fact sheet says the area where moths have been found is too large to effectively treat by ground. “Public safety is paramount,� it states. “Health Canada regulates the use of pesticides. They approved the product being used for aerial application over populated areas. They are the experts and we rely on their expertise.� The ministry also noted its public awareness strategy included advertising in English and South Asian newspapers in the application area, making presentations to municipal councils, and holding an open house on March 3 at the Surrey Museum . The moths pose a threat to fruit growers, because gypsy moths eat the leaves of fruit trees – particularly apple trees, and blueberries and hazelnuts. The province’s trading partners may set quarantine and trade restrictions on trees and plants. It’s estimated the program will cost $1.3 million. For up-to-date information, call the gypsy moth 24-hour info line: 1-866-917-5999 or visit the B.C. Ministry of Forests website at www.gov.bc.ca/gypsy moth.
â–ś CAMERAS TO AID INVESTIGATION from page 3
The unit is self-contained with a 30-foot tower boom that houses four individual high-resolution cameras. They will be in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “The cameras are being deployed as a temporary crime deterrence initiative in response to the ongoing gun violence across Surrey and Delta,� said Acting Delta Police Chief Lyle Beaudoin. “We believe they will both deter criminal ac-
tions related to the violence, but also aid us in the investigative process.� Access to the footage will only be granted following any incident in which it is believed the footage will assist in an investigation, and only at the direction of police inspectors within the Delta Police and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit. The unit has been loaned to the Delta Police Department at no cost from a local manufacturer and will be initially deployed at 80 Avenue and 120 Street.

Join us for ▼ WRAP PROGRAM Mother’s th Day HELPS SURREY TEENS M that, having spoken BRUNCH with the premier and from page 1
The program currently serves 60 individuals and the extra funds will allow for another 15 to 20 more. Surrey Board of Education chair Shawn Wilson is happy to get the funding, but acknowledges he would have liked to see some ongoing revenues for future years. He said the cash injection this year should help reduce the wait list – which stands now at about 40 kids. Harry Bains, the NDP MLA for Surrey-Newton, said the funding falls far short of what’s necessary to address the crime problem in Surrey. In the last seven weeks, there have been about two dozen shootings, one of them fatal. The man killed was Bains’ nephew, Arun Bains. “It is just a quick, knee-jerk reaction,” Bains said of the provincial funding. “It is not a real solution to the real problems that our community is facing.” Bains said more police officers are required right away. “They don’t even have enough resources to put out the fires,” Bains said about the RCMP’s forced reactionary approach. Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said the funding is great news for the City of Surrey. She said she heard from the public at a recent crime forum in Surrey that they wanted more investment in the Wrap program. “Having identified

She said the request for 100 new police officers this year has been “fast-tracked” by the province and is now in the hands of Ottawa. “I can tell you there will be a mixture of rookies, new officers and those more frontlined officers and more seasoned coming to the City of Surrey,” Hepner said. “Some of those officers will be going to the RCMP youth unit.”

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: What would have the most impact on crime in Surrey? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com
Last week we asked: Do you feel safe in Surrey? Here’s how you responded:
Yes 36% No 64%
B.C. takes small first step Premier Christy Clark has been facing criticism for not speaking out on the ongoing violence in Surrey involving low-level drug dealers. On Tuesday, Clark took her critics on. She came to Surrey City Hall to meet with Mayor Linda Hepner and then staged an elaborate announcement with Hepner, the RCMP and the school district to announce a number of initiatives to try and deal with the problem. The centrepiece is another $270,000 for the Surrey Wraparound Program, known as Wrap. This program is delivered through the Surrey School District and involves school staff, the RCMP, parents and youth working together in a fairly intense manner. The goal is to positively attach youth to school, the community and their homes. While the additional funds are a step forward, the reality is the Wrap program helps very few young people. It currently serves 60 youth, and the additional funding (which is a one-time grant) will allow it to serve just 15 to 20 more. Given the thousands of young people in Surrey schools, and the significant number who have trouble dealing with a variety of situations, particularly during adolescence, it is a program that will never be able to meet the potential demands.
On Monday, Surrey-Green Timbers NDP MLA Sue Hammell noted that Surrey has just 10 school liaison officers, while Vancouver, a smaller school district, has 16. Surrey RCMP have said they will boost the number of school liaison officers when a promised 100 additional officers arrive. That’s a positive step, and the sooner it happens, the better. Police in schools is a critical step towards dealing with the challenges faced by many young people. As noted at last week’s public meeting in Newton, many parents are not aware of all their children are up to. Social media and increased mobility have a lot to do with this. Parents rarely, if ever, know all of the people their children are in touch with via social media. If there are more school liaison officers in Surrey schools, those officers will be able to observe what is going on. They will, in some cases, be able to get in touch with families and let them know more about what their children are doing. Parents remain the first line of defence in helping keep young people away from the destructive world of drug dealing. They know their children best and often have other family members who can play a significant role in helping turn things around.
However, parents need help – from police, from the school system and from friends of their children who also become concerned about changes in behaviour and attitudes. Clark also announced that $318,000 in grants from the civil forfeiture program will go towards crime prevention in Surrey this year. While this is significant, it represents the value of less than one home that has been seized and sold under the program. Her announcement of an integrated network of social, medical and justice service providers, through the Surrey Criminal Justice Task Force, is also a positive step forward. However, one of the best moves to make with young people involved with the justice system, especially firsttime offenders, is to have them go through the court process quickly, while the offence is still fresh in their minds. Given the horrendous delays in securing court dates in Surrey, because it is the busiest provincial courthouse in B.C., that will be a difficult thing to do. The province’s attention to the challenge is welcome. Unfortunately, it is merely a first step.

Celebrate our young role models CHIEF CHATS ▼
Jim Cessford
The young people in our communities are our strength. They do wonderful things and they give us hope for the future. I do sometimes wonder, though, how they can do as well as they do given the examples that are being set for them. There has been extensive news coverage of Lower Mainland youth either murdered, in jail, or wanted by the police because of their poor choices. This violence is a result of drug trafficking and turf wars. This irony was not lost on me, when I watched the news coverage of “4-20,” which celebrates the use of marijuana. This event, at which thousands of people lit up a joint, kept the local hospital busy as many of them ended up in the ER due to excessive levels of drug consumption. I question what message we are sending our kids with back-to-back news coverage
about drug wars and pot parties. In addition to these mixed messages, our youth are also barraged by media accounts of young Canadians travelling overseas to participate in terrorist activity, and we are updated daily on the civil unrest in the U.S. caused by police use-offorce against mostly young minorities. Closer to home, we hear about parents that are banned from junior ice hockey rinks, and sports teams that do not even allow parents to attend games due to obnoxious behaviour in the stands. It is a wonder that our youth know anything but pessimism, when you consider the examples we set as adults and the attention we give to negative behaviour. Thankfully, the majority of our youth make positive contributions to their communities through their schools, sports teams, religious groups, arts and culture. We don’t talk enough out about these
kids, who aspire to great things and give back through volunteerism. We need to spend more time recognizing those that overcome adversity and challenges, carving positive paths out of difficult terrain. It is important to me that we celebrate our youth and recognize that there are far more good than bad. I am proud to be working with the Rotary Clubs of North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen, to organize the seventh annual Delta Rotary Youth Awards. The youth recognized at this event are our future leaders and quietly do good work in their schools, homes, churches and social circles. The stories are incredible, from a young woman who raised money to purchase headstones for unknown soldiers, to a boy who collected and shipped

Here’s some good news ▼ A BOUQUET OF TULIPS MADE A SAD DAY INTO SOMETHING BETTER With all these senseless, disturbing shootings currently going on in Surrey, I think it’s time for a good news story and I have one for you. Recently I was having lunch at the Dublin Crossing Pub and I was not having a good day – so much so that I ended up in tears. My boyfriend was with me and was a great comfort and support. Sitting across from our table was a young couple also enjoying a sunny day and lunch on the patio. When my boyfriend and I left the restaurant, we
walked across the parking lot to the grocery store, and there is where my day/ week/year got better. The young lady that was sitting across from us at the pub came up to me with a bouquet of tulips and said to me “you look like you’re having a bad day” as she handed me the flowers and gave me a big hug and told me it will be all right. Needless to say, I broke out in tears again. It was such an unexpected and touching gesture, I had no words for this wonderful lady. I would like to say thank you. Thank you for making a sad day into something better. Stay safe, be happy and my best wishes to you.
▼ TAKE ACTION BEFORE ANOTHER SENSELESS TRAGEDY OCCURS
Can Your Screen Do This? Protect Your Family? Security Screens
It is a very sad thing that another young life has been lost in this dangerous drug business. For a month there have been so many shootings and everybody knew that such a tragedy would happen one day. But it is really sad that police and family members couldn’t do anything to prevent such tragedy. Family members who know that their youngsters are in this dangerous business must tell police before such a tragedy happens again. It would be better for youngsters to spend some time in jail and hopefully get away from this dangerous drug business rather than losing their lives. Even the role of police is questioned. Why can’t they keep an eye on a few of these drug dealers? Every time after a shooting incident they say they know the people involved. If they know them, then why don’t they keep an eye on them and take action before such deadly incidents? Hopefully soon the government, police and family members of these youngsters will do something to prevent another loss of life happening again.

Delta dodges $2M school budget deficit ▶ DISTRICT BALANCES BUDGET FOR 2015-2016 SHEILA REYNOLDS
Despite facing a shortfall of more than $2 million, the Delta School District has balanced its operating budget for the 2015-16 school year. Delta’s Board of Education passed its preliminary budget for the coming school year at a public meeting Tuesday (April 28).
The district said the shortfall was due to a number of factors, including the carry-forward of a $1.5-million deficit from the current school year (2014-2015), as well as increased teacher and education assistant staffing requirements, inflation of employee benefits and utility costs. Still, the district managed to balance the books for next year with “limited negative impact.”

About $1.5 million was available to reduce the 2015-16 shortfall through higher-than-projected revenues from the district’s international student program and an allocation of one-time funds from the province announced in December. The rest will be covered mostly by anticipated hikes in revenue from international programs, continuing education and investment income. About $100,000 in savings was also found by reducing some clerical and facilities costs at the school board office. No cuts were made to classroom staffing or student programs. Delta’s budget process was considerably less painful than in past years, when difficult and controversial cutbacks were made. Last year, for example, about 17 teacher and education assistant positions were axed. Under B.C.’s School Act, school districts are required, by law, to submit a balanced budget by June 30 each year.

Elections BC has now received more than 537,000 ballots in the Metro Vancouver transit tax plebiscite, or about 34 per cent of the 1.56 million registered voters. Of the ballots received, about 455,000 or 29.2 per cent have gone through Elections BC’s initial screening process to verify the ballot appears valid.
The largest numbers of screened ballots continue to come from Vancouver and Surrey, which together account for more than 208,000, followed by more than 41,000 from Burnaby and more than 32,000 from Richmond. Variations in the return rate among different municipalities are now evening out. The highest rates of ballots returned and screened are now Belcarra (38.1 per cent), Delta (33.7 per cent) and North Vancouver City (33.1 per cent), while the lowest

pisode One of a currently popular film series, “The Bridge” begins with a nighttime close up on the Øresund Bridge—a ‘body’ carefully placed over the line on the bridge marking the border between Denmark and Sweden. This means that both the Danish and Swedish police will be involved; enter the Danish detective Martin Rohde played by Kim Bodnia and the Swedish detective Saga Noren played by Sofia Helin. The different approaches of the two officers are highlighted immediately, Detective Noren commanding closure of the bridge to all traffic for at least two hours, Detective Rohde responding to the pleas of a woman accompanying her hospital bound husband by waving through their ambulance. Building communications between these two will be the challenge of the drama. All of this is against the background of an outstanding engineering achievement - the steel and concrete structure from which the film’s name derives. When ‘The Bridge’ film series launched in 2011, the ‘Øresundsbron’—the bridge company’s preferred Danish/Swedish composite name for the structure—had been in existence for 12 years, opening August 14, 1999 after four years of construction preceded by four years of planning and fund-raising. The Øresund Bridge provides a fixed link crossing over the Øresund strait, a western channel into the Baltic Sea flowing between Malmo, Sweden on the east and Copenhagen, Denmark on the west. At 16.4 km (10 mi) in total length, the structure is made up of three components. Starting at the east (Swedish) side, the actual bridge component consists of a
steel girder extending the full length supporting a four-lane roadway on top of a deck for two railway tracks. At the centre are three cablestayed sections—the longest cable-stayed main span in the world (490 m) for both road and rail traffic. On both approaches, concrete piers every 140 m support the girder. At approximately 12.4 km towards the western (Danish) side, the road and railways descend onto the artificial island of Peberholm (Pepper Islet)—the Danish chosen name complementing the natural island of Saltholm (Salt Islet) just to the north. From here they enter a 4 km long, 20 m high, and 500 m wide immersed tunnel running beneath the Drogden Channel and emerging at the artificial peninsula at Kastrup, Denmark. Peberholm is a designated nature reserve built from Swedish rock and the soil dredged up during the bridge and tunnel construction. The Øresund Bridge connector tunnel is the longest immersed tube tunnel for both road and rail traffic in the world made from 20 prefabricated reinforced concrete segments, the largest in the world at 55,000 metric tons each, interconnected in a trench dug in the seabed. Inside the tunnel are five side-by-side tubes: two for railway tracks, two for roads, and a small fifth tube for emergencies. Great world cities are known for their iconic bridges. In 2002 ‘Øresundsbron’ received the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering ‘Outstanding Structure Award’ recognizing” the most remarkable, innovative, creative, or otherwise stimulating structures completed within the last few years.” In terms of traffic flow unimpeded by collisions, the bridge design seems to be achieving the intended safety goal. These days, bridges like ‘Øresundsbron’ and Canada’s eight mile long Confederation Bridge between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, are safely providing vehicular connection countries and regions on a scale unequalled in the history of engineering marvels.

Procrastinators who haven’t yet filed their tax returns have an extra five days to do so thanks to an error by the Canada Revenue Agency. The CRA mistakenly issued a statement last Friday listing May 5 as the deadline for 2014 tax returns instead of the correct deadline of April 30. But with too many people presumed to be taking advantage of the extended deadline, the government opted to honour it. “2014 tax returns filed by midnight on May 5, 2015, will not incur interest or penalties,” a statement on the CRA website now says. “The CRA sincerely regrets and apologizes for any confusion this may have caused.” The deadline has been extended in unusual circumstances before – last year extra time was granted because of a security breach that prompted Ottawa to temporarily suspend online filing through the CRA website.

Jackson takes middle road on transit referendum

▶ DELTA MAYOR DENIES SHE’S IN EITHER THE ‘NO’ OR ‘YES’ CAMPS JEFF NAGEL
Delta Mayor Lois Jackson won’t say how she has voted in the transit tax referendum but she rejects suggestions she is now on the “no” side. Delta council decided against financially supporting the “yes” side and instead requested public feedback. It found 60 per cent of the 200 respondents indicated they’d vote no, while 10 per cent leaned toward yes and 30 per cent were undecided. Jackson’s neutral stance has led some other Metro mayors to conclude she is now the fourth “no” mayor in their ranks, joining West Vancouver’s Michael Smith, Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan and Maple Ridge’s Nicole Read in opposition to the proposed sales tax increase. “No, I’m straight down the middle,” Jackson said in an interview. “I think it’s up to the people to decide what they want. In my community, people don’t appreciate being told how to vote.” Basic information on the plan and the plebiscite went out to Delta residents Lois Jackson with utility bills at a cost of $5,000 to the municipality. In contrast, Vancouver, Surrey and New Westminster councils are spending up to $200,000 each to bolster the more than $6 million in yes promotion by the Mayors’ Council. Jackson was absent for the vote on the Metro mayors’ transit vision last June, saying later she supported it, and voted last December to go to referendum on the 0.5-per-cent regional sales tax. The Delta mayor said she is not recanting that vote. The proposed sales tax option was the best choice available to the mayors compared to other sources such as a vehicle levy, she said. “I believe the plan is probably the best plan that we can find at the moment,” Jackson added. Jackson said the yes side has been hurt in Delta by opposition from other Metro mayors to the province’s plan to replace the Massey Tunnel with a new bridge – broadly supported in Tsawwassen and Ladner – and by TransLink’s refusal to reinstate direct buses to Vancouver that now connect to the Canada Line instead. While there’s little in the plan for Delta, Jackson noted most of her city’s residents travel elsewhere in the region and improvements in other cities will help them get to their destinations. She acknowledged the broad opposition to a new tax but said she hopes her constituents carefully consider the issues from both a local and regional perspective. “The downside of not having a yes vote is that it will be a long, long, long time before we get anything else. I hope people consider this when they’re voting.” Jackson said she believes the public would be more supportive today if all the mayors’ deliberations about crafting the transit plan and which tax source to use had been thrashed out openly, and not behind closed doors.

EXTRACTING B.C.’S NATURAL GAS TO PRODUCE LNG A SPECIAL SERIES ON LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS
Hydraulic fracturing is a tried and tested way of accessing natural gas.
18-150 metres: Typical depth of potable water sources and domestic wells in B.C. Typical depth of a hydraulically fractured natural gas well in B.C.:
2,000-4,500 metres
100%
of natural gas wells have multiple layers of steel casing cemented in place to protect groundwater
85%
of all new natural gas wells in B.C. are hydraulically fractured
98.5%
of the fracturing fluid is a mixture of water and sand; the rest is additives, many of which are found in everyday household products
Hydraulic fracturing is not new to British Columbia. It has been used for nearly 60 years to extract natural gas safely and efficiently. The natural gas industry, including hydraulic fracturing, is regulated by the BC Oil and Gas Commission, which employs hydrologists, agrologists, geologists, reservoir engineers and environmental analysts who ensure that the industry is following B.C.’s laws and regulations. The Commission also hosts fracfocus.ca, a website that provides detailed and objective information about hydraulic fracturing in B.C. The BC LNG Alliance is the voice of British Columbia’s new LNG export industry. Our mission is to foster the growth of a safe, environmentally responsible and globally competitive LNG industry in British Columbia and Canada.

Not that they needed it, but Surrey-based Lyric Singers has a reason to celebrate. Twenty reasons, in fact. While the choral group is currently in its 21st year, the choir is marking 20 years of performance. The group was founded in 1994 by Marjorie Boerma, a Surrey resident who believed there was an audience for choral music in the community. She placed a newspaper ad and gathered enough talent for three separate choirs. Eventually, the three choirs folded into one and after nine years, Boerma resigned to move to the U.S. “My emphasis first and foremost was on a variety high-quality repertoire, and bring-

I had the time of my life in the nine seasons I conducted the Lyric Choirs, and am so grateful it has carried on so splendidly.” Following in Boerma’s footsteps was Nancy Rahn, who is the current artistic director of the group. Lyric Singers
remains focused on performing the best choral music, past and present, supporting Canadian composers and striving for excellence as it performs its extensive repertoire in Surrey and throughout the Lower Mainland. The group’s Boar’s Head Madrigal Dinner is a huge hit and the group has collaborated with world-class musicians including Rita Costanzi and Heidi Kreutzen, as well as members of the
Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Phoenix Chamber Choir and Electra Women’s Choir. A concert celebrating two decades is scheduled this Saturday (May 2). Called The Best of Lyric, it takes place at Holy Trinity Cathedral (514 Carnarvon St., New Westminster) at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20.

Pirates invade the Coast ▶ SURREY THEATRE GROUP BRINGS BACK GILBERT & SULLIVAN FAVOURITE ALEX BROWNE
Poor Frederic. While still a babe in arms, his nursemaid Ruth misheard an instruction to apprentice him to a pilot – a worthy profession, charged with guiding ships safely in and out of harbour channels – and instead apprenticed him to a pirate. It’s the crux of the
young man’s dilemma in W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan’s droll Victorian operetta, The Pirates of Penzance. While he’s pondering the imminent end of his term of servitude, due to expire on his 21st birthday, his colleagues – a theoretically bloodthirsty crew of freebooters – are marauding in the distinctly unlikely surroundings of a genteel resort in Cornwall. Now the reprehensible crew is set to invade another coast – The Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock, to be exact – in Fraser Valley
Pirates of Penzance assistant producer Lyn Verra-Lay is also featured in a lead role as Ruth, nursemaid turned pirate. JENNIFER RUSSELL

The Pirates of Penzance brings together an ace creative team – including artistic director Jaqollyne Keath, musical director Timothy Tucker, choreographer Carol Seitz – and a winning cast of new faces and longtime favourites eager to capture all the potential of the material. Producer Dann Wilhelm takes the role of reluctant apprentice
Frederic, while Lyn Verra-Lay, also wearing the hat of assistant producer, has one of her biggest on-stage roles as Ruth, the nurse-turned pirate maid of all work. As the only woman in Frederic’s life thus far, she said, Ruth is now seriously contemplating becoming his fiancée. Complicating her romantic plans are seaside resident Major General Stanley (Jim McGroarty), the “very model of a modern major general,” and his numerous daughters (technically “wards in chancery”) including the fair Mabel (Terelle Klose), who wins Frederic’s heart. Also featured are James Walker as the pirates’ lieutenant Samuel, Brad Dewar as the sergeant of the uniformed ‘bobbies’ dedicated to defeating the local outbreak of piracy, and Kathleen McGroarty, Katherine Lozada and Melissa Paras as daughters Edith, Kate and Isabel.

▼ REUNION OF 1995 CAST PLANNED FOR MAY 1
QUARTERLY REPORT
Dominion Lending Centres Chief Economist Says US Style Housing Crash Unlikely in Canada
from page 24
King, had to drop out of the show – but, fortunately another regional theatre stalwart, Arne Larsen, has agreed to step into the part. Pirates is a notable show for numerous reasons, Verra-Lay said, noting that the gala performance on May 1 will include a reunion of cast members from the 1995 FVGSS production, marking the 20th anniversary of the passing of musical director and performer Gary McGill, whose name lives on in an annual scholarship award presented by the society. Notable for Verra-Lay is the chance to finally play a lead, after years of chorus roles and producer chores and serving on the FVGSS board. “I came to the society in 1988 – I said ‘that looks like fun,’ ” she remembered. “Eight years later I became president.” But she has to admit that she’s thrilled to be playing Ruth. “I waited until I was over 50 to get into a lead,” she said. “I’ve always said I don’t need to see my name in the program – but it is a lot of fun to be on stage, a lot more fun than I remember.” One of the enjoyable elements of doing a show with FVGSS is the humourous dedication of people who are virtually – literally, in some cases – family, Verra-Lay said. “I wouldn’t have raised my kids in this ‘family’ if I didn’t think it was a gas.” Wilhelm is also a longtime society member, and also a former president. “I started when I was 17 and 21 years later, I’m still here,” he said, noting that he first played Frederic in 2003. “I was very familiar with the role, so I thought it would be just a matter of going in and polishing – but it’s hard. All this physical movement is taking a toll on the body.” Coast Capital Playhouse is located at 1532 Johnston Rd. For tickets and showtimes, call 604536-7535 or visit www. whiterockplayers.ca

Responding to recent news reports about the IMF warning of an overheated Canadian housing market, the Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres, Sherry Cooper, says the prospect of a soft landing is good news for homeowners, “there is no doubt that letting some steam out of the boiling markets is a good thing because were prices to rise rapidly for too long, a nasty correction would be likely.”
Bank of Canada Remains On Hold With Hopes of Economic Rebound the January MPR); however, the second quarter is expected to see a rebound to 1.8 percent growth, revised up from earlier expectation. The Bank continues to assert that, “Underneath the effects of the oil price shock, the natural sequence of stronger nonenergy exports, increasing investment, and improving labour markets is progressing.” This will be aided by an improvement in the U.S. economy and the easing in financial Dr. Sherry Cooper conditions.
As was widely expected, on Wednesday April 15, 2015 The Bank of Canada announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 3/4 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/2 per cent. Core inflation, at 2 percent, is a reflection of the dampening effects of a slowing economy offset by the pass through effects of the lower dollar.
The Bank is hopeful that global growth will strengthen in coming months to 3-1/2 percent— Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres There remains consistent with their a good deal of forecast in January’s uncertainty in this sequence: Monetary Policy Report (MPR)— While March employment in as a direct result of central bank Canada improved substantially, rate cuts and quantitative easing business investment remains in Europe. Lower commodity disappointing, manufacturing prices will boost growth in some is weak—especially in the auto countries. The Bank also believes sector—and the improvement that strong growth will resume in trade has been less than in the United States after a weak expected. first quarter, which, of course, has yet to be confirmed. Real GDP growth is projected to rebound in the second quarter First quarter growth in Canada and subsequently strengthen to has been revised downward to average about 2 1/2 per cent on 0.0 percent in the April MPR a quarterly basis until the middle (from 1.5 percent growth in
of 2016. The Bank expects real GDP growth of 1.9 per cent in 2015, 2.5 per cent in 2016, and 2.0 per cent in 2017. The Bank also believes the risks to the outlook are balanced, an upgrade since the last policy meeting in March. As a result of this view, they judge that the current degree of monetary stimulus is appropriate and have left rates unchanged. I am cautiously optimistic that the Bank has got it right, but I continue to believe that the risks are on the downside for the economy and inflation. My forecast for Canadian growth this year is 1.5 percent--below the Bank’s 1.9 percent forecast. Much hinges on the U.S. economy. The April MPR revised down its U.S. growth forecast for this year from 3.2 percent to 2.7 percent.

Cooper, one of North America’s most respected economic experts, points out that existing home sales were down 2 percent year-over-year in January, but were still up moderately outside of Alberta. Later data suggests that in February, sales rose month-over-month as gains in Toronto and Vancouver offset faltering markets in other parts of the country. More recently, Sales of existing homes in Canada rose in March from February, led by gains in the big Toronto and Vancouver markets. Sales were even up in Calgary where sales had slowed in recent months in the wake of the oil price decline. “With home ownership at a record high of 70 percent of households and interest rates at record lows, national sales growth will stabilize at a modest pace,” says Cooper. “However, steady demand from immigrants and non-resident purchasers in Toronto and Vancouver should continue to support housing markets. In addition, Millennials are in their first-time home-buying years. While many might be priced out of the singlefamily home market, many will take the plunge into condos.” On the supply side, housing starts and completions are down and are now trending slightly above household formation rates. Taking replacement demand into consideration, the current pace of overall home construction is at appropriate levels to meet long-run demand. We have also seen evidence of a recent increase in dedicated rental housing construction as institutional investors are providing increased funding in this long-overlooked area of the housing market. Condos have effectively replaced traditional apartment units and are an affordable alternative for those who are priced out of Toronto’s detached housing market. Rental vacancy rates remain at extreme lows in Vancouver and Toronto. Cooper says the bottom line is that there is little evidence of an upcoming U.S.-style housing crash anywhere in Canada, even in the hardest hit energy-centered markets.

Two-for-four on the Island ▶ WHALLEY CHIEFS SPLIT A PAIR OF DOUBLE HEADERS IN VICTORIA RICK KUPCHUK
With just one victory in their first two weeks of the regular season, the Whalley Chiefs managed two wins over the weekend in Victoria. The Chiefs took to the field for a pair of double headers against the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s two teams in the provincial capital, and won one of two against each opponent. Whalley lost 3-0 then won 8-6 Saturday against the Victoria Eagles on Saturday, then fell to the Victoria Mariners 7-2 Sunday morning before winning 8-3 in the afternoon’s rematch. Whalley now has a 3-8 (won-lost) record, and are in 10th place in the 18-and-under league. The Chiefs managed just five hits in the first game, but lost 3-0 to an Eagles team which totaled just four hits. The home side did all their scoring in the bottom of the first inning, when three hits combined with a pair of Chiefs errors allowed two unearned runs to cross the plate. Thomas Espig was forced to take the loss after allowing one earned run on four hits and a pair of walks, lowering his earned run average to 1.79. Espig contributed to a Chiefs win in the second game with a strong game at the plate, going two-for-four with a double and two runs scored. Matt Legg was two-for-three with two runs scored and a run batted in. Whalley scored five times in the third inning on three hits and a trio of walks, and added three more in the fourth inning before the Eagles sent 12 batters to the plate and scored six runs in the bottom of the fifth. Kyle Stubbins was the winning pitcher, allowing six runs (all unearned) on six hits and a pair of walks. Against the Mariners on Sunday, the Chiefs again began the day with a loss. Victoria had 12 hits off Whalley pitching, including a pair of doubles. Lachlan Hunter was the top offensive player
