Joint operations aim to disrupt alleged Surrey/Delta drug-trade turf war

More charges laid in shooting spree Kevin Diakiw Black Press

More people have been charged in connection with a rash of shootings over the past two months.

Police this week announced charges against Pardip Brar, who faces 12 charges, and Rajvir Sunner (four charges).

Arman Dhatt was arrested in Delta in March and faces 19 separate charges.

The information came out Tuesday as police indicate they continue to chip away at two groups responsible for half of the 30 shootings in Surrey and Delta since March 9.

The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU-BC), Surrey Mounties and Delta Police are involved in several enforcement and covert operations in order to identify witnesses, increase intelligence, and disrupt the illegal activities of the groups

involved.

Police believe 15 of the shootings are a result of two groups responsible for dial-adope operations (drug delivery by phone); groups Mounties describe as of South Asian and Somalian descent. The violence is believed to be the result of a turf war over the drug trade.

The victims of the shootings remain uncooperative, police say.

In addition, during the enforcement operations, 40 vehicles failed to stop for police.

Police officers don’t pursue fleeing vehicles when it is deemed that doing so could endanger the public. On one occasion, a CFSEU-BC marked car was rammed by a suspect vehicle to avoid the traffic stop.

Despite the challenges, police say they are having some success. i see page 4

Parks manager says posted changes to South Surrey’s Dogwood Park are not a done deal

Off-leash plans ‘take away from dogs’ Alex Browne and Tracy Holmes Staff Reporters

Signs that have appeared at South Surrey’s Dogwood Park suggest that off-leash dogs will soon lose a sizable chunk of the green space’s north end.

And that has provoked a chorus of concern from dog owners.

The City of Surrey signs, describing a ‘Dog-

wood Off-Leash Area Fencing Improvement’ also state – prominently – that the work is planned for completion in “Summer 2015”.

Dog owners say that suggests the fencing – shown superimposed on a satellite photo in the posters – is a fait accompli.

Newton resident Jennifer Green, who frequently brings her dogs to the park, said the planned changes will not be an “improve-

ment,” and will result in the loss of off-leash access to as much as a third of the trails in the woods.

Surrey parks manager Owen Croy insists, however, that the fencing is “not a done deal.”

“I want to assure readers the city is in the process of consulting with the community,” he told Peace Arch News Wednesday. i see page 4

Developers of 12-storey project given green-light for additional height

Vidal Street project variances approved Melissa Smalley Staff Reporter

Revised plans for a much-contended highrise development on Vidal Street were approved by White Rock council this week, following a public meeting that heard from speakers in support and against the proposed changes.

The project, at 1501 Vidal St., was originally given the green-light by council in November 2013.

Developers later submitted an application for an amended development permit with a variance to increase the building’s overall height from 39.38 metres to 43.54 metres to allow for elevator access to a rooftop amenity space, as well as a reduction in the number of

units from 95 to 89.

Speaking in favour of the amendments, Council voted to approve the developer’s Marilyn Smith, a South Surrey resident, application at Monday’s meeting, with Coun. called the development a “wonderful asset David Chesney opposed and Mayor Wayne for White Rock,” noting a number of new Baldwin and Coun.

White Rock.

Hazel Stack, who lives on Vidal Street a few

blocks from where the development will be built, said she doesn’t approve of the developer coming back to council to ask for more height, after its original proposal was already approved.

“I’m for the project now that it was forced on us,” Stack said. “What I’m against tonight, is an amendment to what was forced on us, with an extra addition on an amenity.

Cressey is a great company, is what we’ve heard, they should have known what an amenity of this magnitude should have entailed.”

Sales of units within the development are already underway. According to a representative from Cressey, construction is expected to start in late August, and will likely take close to two years to complete.

Updated OCP launched

City seeks feedback The City of White Rock is inviting residents to have their say, after launching its updated Official Community Plan process this week.

The city is offering three ways for residents to offer feedback for the plan, entitled ‘Imagine White Rock 2045’; by completing a survey by May 31, online at www.talkwhiterock.ca, or in person at the city hall planning department; by sharing thoughts at the city’s Vision Fair, set for May 24, 1 to 4 p.m. at White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Ave.); or by emailing comments directly to imagine@whiterockcity.ca According to a news release, the updated OCP will “guide the growth of our community and provide a policy framework and implementation strategy for council by addressing critical issues such as housing, transportation, parks, economic development, the natural and social environment and infrastructure.”

Further information on the OCP will be made available on the city’s website, at www.whiterockcity.ca/ imaginewhiterock -Melissa Smalley

Any new industry – not just the coal terminal – could open on federal lands without obeying Metro regulations to control air pollution, he said.

And Weaver suggested such a ruling might thwart the province’s power to control emissions on any federal lands in B.C., not just port land within Metro.

He said there are many proposed industrial port developments – from LNG terminals to oil refineries – that could end up on federal port lands and pollute airsheds as far north as Kitimat and Prince Rupert.

Weaver called on the province to take a stand.

“Why is this going to the court and why isn’t the province stepping up and playing a more outspoken role about what they

believe the role of Metro Vancouver and their role is?”

Environment Minister Mary Polak was not available for an interview.

An emailed statement from her office said the province has an interest in the case but will wait for the court’s decision before commenting further.

“Sources of air pollution throughout B.C., including on federal lands, must be managed to appropriate levels,” it said.

The coal terminal proposal is the target of separate court challenges filed by project opponents.

Fraser Surrey Docks now intends to directly load the coal onto ships, rather than first to barges that would have had to be unloaded to ships at Texada Island.

We’ve posted signs that show how people can get information on the city’s website and leave their comments. We want to get people’s feelings on how this would work. We’re seeking feedback on how fencing in the park could be modified.”

Rationale for fencing, he said, is to minimize the possibility of confrontation between unleashed dogs and the walkers, runners and cyclists using the Huntington-Bridlewood Greenway at the north end of the park, which is located between 134 and 136 Streets, north of 20 Avenue.

Stay busy, but stay safe, too

T

hough the first day of summer is still a month away, the Victoria Day holiday weekend is at our doorstep, and for many, acts as the unofficial kickoff to a fun, more active season after weeks spent avoiding the rain.

And, no doubt, there are many people who have already opened their doors and hit the road to enjoy it to the fullest.

For those choosing to stay close to home, there is no shortage of places to go and things to do – here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling.

One of the area’s longest-running and most well-known affairs this long weekend is the always-popular Cloverdale Rodeo, which runs through Monday at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.

Chock full of rides, cowboys, cotton candy, music, rodeo competitions and more, it’s an event that offers something for everyone – country music fans or not.

If sports are more up your alley, the White Rock Tritons would no doubt appreciate a boost from fans when they kick off the weekend tonight (Friday) with a doubleheader against the Whalley Chiefs at South Surrey Athletic Park. The first game gets underway at 5 p.m.

If something a little more formal is more up your alley, Historic Stewart Farm has a royal lineup planned for Sunday, to celebrate Queen Victoria’s birthday – the whole reason behind this extended break. Details on all of these options and more are included in the pages of today’s Peace Arch News.

And no matter how you choose to spend your time – whether you’re having a three-day ‘stay-cation’ or kicking off the camping season – there’s one thing to remember: keep it safe.

It’s easy in the excitement of a holiday – yes, even one as simple as an extra day off – to get caught up in a moment and take unnecessary risks. So, stick with commonsense – don’t answer that friend’s call to your cellphone while driving, just because you’ve made big plans and can’t wait to talk about them; and don’t go jumping into some refreshing lake water without considering the possible dangers lurking beneath the surface, such as large rocks.

As well, it’s also the unofficial start of the province’s “forest fire season” as hot, dry weather begins to dominate many B.C. locales. In some parts of the Interior, an open-fire prohibition has already been declared, but campfire bans or not, it is important to exercise extreme caution, now and into the future.

Remembering a few little things can be all that’s needed to ensure a long weekend is a good one for all.

There are 6,000 students in portable classrooms in Surrey right now. That’s considerably more than are enrolled in many B.C. school districts.

The city needs to back the school district for two reasons. One is its own responsibility. Surrey is a prodevelopment city, and there are lots of development projects underway. The city is encouraging new residents to move here, but they aren’t getting a fair deal if their kids miss out on some aspects of education because of overcrowding or lack of new school construction.

The second reason is that the city has a considerable amount of moral suasion with the current government. Most, if not all, councillors back the BC Liberals, including Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who is the Surrey-Fleetwood MLA. If city council speaks up on this issue, chances are it will be listened to.

The provincial government points out that it’s spent about $300 million on capital projects, land and seismic upgrades in Surrey since 2001. It has, and that’s a good thing. However, capital spending needs to continue at a steady level, because the city has more children living here each month.

McNally is taking her title of trustee seriously. As one entrusted to look out for the education needs of Surrey students, she believes it is imperative to do everything possible to improve their education. That includes building new schools and funding additions in a timely fashion.

Having read your article, I feel it my duty as one of the ‘evil viewers’ on Marine Drive, to offer up an apology to Coun. David Chesney.

How dare I wish for the destruction of that vibrant rain forest that existed across the street.

Shame on me – shame!

My actions have probably added at least a degree or two to global temperatures.

How can I possibly expect that my ocean views be maintained just because I pay a premium tax for view property, put up with trains passing my bedroom window every night, listen to drunks swearing outside at 2 a.m., traffic jams at my door every sunny weekend….

What was I thinking when I bought this place? Who really needs to see the pier and Gulf Islands anyway?

While I’m at it, let me apologize for those evil people on Victoria for selfishly wanting speed bumps put in for their own benefit. Imagine the shortened life spans of half the vehicles in White Rock from hitting those bumps at 50 klicks.

Also, there’s those selfish people on Martin, expecting us taxpayers to pony up for their sidewalk repairs. Shame on you – shame!

But, Coun. Chesney, you can take solace in the fact that when god takes his vengeance, I will be at the bottom of the pile when the bank gives way.

Alex Benekritis, White Rock Q In the last couple of days, the ‘hump’ has been extensively pruned, opening up gorgeous and inviting views of the pier, bay and rock for everyone – residents and visitors, pedestrians and motorists.

This is how White Rock should present itself, with our unforgettable icons.

Congratulations and thanks to White Rock mayor and council and the BNSF. Peter Dunik, White Rock

Maternity talk gets reactions Editor: Re: Have compassion for pregnant women, May 8 column.

In response to the opinion piece

by Kristi Gordon, please let me say we have watched and appreciated her professional weather forecast on Global News for many years.

We were ‘there’ when she was pregnant with her first child and just smiled when she was criticized for her attire now.

Opinions differ – so be it!

However, I read her opinion piece in the Peace Arch News and some of it rubbed me the wrong way.

She says: “Times have changed.

Pregnant women don’t have to feel ashamed of their bodies. This

type of disapproval is a relic from a different time.”

Kristi, I had my children in the ’50s and ’60s. Never was I “ashamed” of being pregnant, or did I know any other women feeling that way. Being pregnant in the ‘old’ days was a quiet, private treasure, shared with the father-to-be, the family and close friends.

If you like to call it a relic, that is fine, but the new attitude towards everything is not necessarily always the best choice.

Another quote: “Nearly all women now work because we have to, households rely on us financially and many have careers we love.”

Looking back at what was right at the time; many families lived a frugal life – depending on dad’s income only – we just couldn’t think of leaving the baby with a caregiver. I am sure many moms had careers they love.

Kristi, we wish you and your family all the best. May your new baby

come into this world healthy and into a world that embraces the new but also is willing to learn from the old.

Congratulations. We will miss you when you take the time off to be with your family.

Heidi Bumann, Surrey Q Re: Weighing in on maternity matters, May 6 letters.

I was quite surprised by letterwriter Eve Henry taking offence to Coun. David Chesney referring to his partner as his “Caribbean queen,” as being somehow a race issue.

The Caribbean is a region – not a race. Does one take offence to Elton John’s touching tribute to the late Princess Diana when he sang, “Goodbye England’s Rose” or when the Irish celebrate St. Paddy’s Day or the Scottish celebrate Robbie Burns Day? Chesney’s affectionate referral to his partner speaks to her heritage – not the colour of her skin.

Cyndie Richards, White Rock

Dog days of spring Editor: This is just for the controversy about the canines on West Beach.

There is a beautiful area for all dogs to roam freely on East Beach.

However, this is for all to enjoy and as the summer is progressing quickly, we have owners who refuse to pick up after their canines and usually this is happening very early in the morning so that no one else sees this happening.

Please remove this waste – children play here, we all roam here.

There is a nice walking path at Little Campbell River park where the beautiful horses roam with their owners; you could go there instead.

Just consider others, please; that’s not asking a lot.

Trees, such as this monkey puzzle tree on 16 Avenue, deserve greater consideration in planning, say writers.

Tree treatment puzzles, frustrates Editor: If a tree falls in the forest in Surrey, do the developers have a permit? And in the end, does it matter?

Another example of development run amok in South Surrey this week with at least two large, mature trees turned into sawdust and myriad large rhododendron bushes, among others, axed. Bushes and ground cover and trees have become nothing but a liability that get in the way of square footage when building a MacMansion, with which Surrey will soon be covered – with nary a tree in sight, but a small $600 twig purchased from the City of Surrey’s “approved tree list”, as close to the curb as possible.

Pesky things, trees – they drop needles and pine cones and leaves that plug your gutters.

Oh yes, and they produce oxygen, provide muchneeded shade in summers that are becoming ever hotter, encourage urban wildlife and produce envious sighs from visitors – until the visitors decide to become residents; then they only want trees on neighbours’ lots.

When I walk out my door at the moment, I am surrounded by the sound of birdsong, eagles crying and loons calling out on the bay. There was a shocked note this morning from some displaced birds up the street.

By the time our local and provincial politicians are done with us, we will be living in a barren, soulless place stretching from the Fraser River to Semiahmoo Bay, covered in huge, ugly, cheap houses coated in coal dust.

Politicians used to be elected to do good for the people. Not anymore. The local politicians only sit there

in their counting houses, counting all the money from exorbitant property taxes and listening to the coal-train whistles echoing over the treeless land.

They should be ashamed of themselves. I certainly am.

Sandra Kolibas, Surrey Q Re: Neighbours feel helpless, May 8 letters.

I couldn’t agree more with Catherine McCue-Davies’ letter about the Surrey tree bylaw that permits the clearcutting of magnificent trees and beautiful mature shrubs, lot-line to lot-line.

It was I who put the “Do Not Cut This Tree” sign at the base of the 50-year-old monkey puzzle tree on 16 Avenue east of Earl Marriott Secondary. I was there when friends of mine planted it in the front yard of a house they just purchased in the early 1970s.

Monkey puzzle trees are protected in their native Chile, having nearly become extinct due to logging and loss of habitat. They have lived on our planet since the Jurassic period, take a long time to reproduce and don’t even bear cones until they are around 45 years old.

Yes, the tree is a female, and only in the past few years have there been cones. She is doomed! I called the city and was told that, even though the tree is right at the front of the property, it will interfere with the 11-unit townhouse complex.

No wonder the Lorax has gone, the Once-lers rule city hall and the Truffula trees are being carted off to the dump!

U.S. man sentenced after firearms seized at border

One-year for gun offence A U.S. man has been handed two one-year jail sentences and a 10-year weapons prohibition after pleading guilty to lying to Canadian border officers about a weapon he was carrying when he tried to enter Canada last year.

According to the Canada Border Services Agency, Michael Lynden Wilson told officers at the Pacific Highway crossing on Dec. 10 that he had a “safety piece” in his jacket.

During a subsequent search – which resulted in an arrest – the officers seized an unloaded prohibited semi-automatic handgun and two loaded ammunition magazines.

Wilson – who is also facing outstanding charges in the U.S. – pleaded guilty in Surrey Provincial Court on March 26

to one count of making false statements contrary to the Customs Act and one count of possession of a prohibited firearm together with readily accessible ammunition contrary to the Criminal Code.

In addition to the concurrent jail terms and weapons prohibition, Wilson was ordered

to pay a $200 victim surcharge.

His eligibility to remain in Canada is to be determined by the CBSA. CBSA officials noted that firearms seizures logged by border services officers in the Pacific Region increased by 44 per cent between 2010 and 2014.

In that same period, the number of weapons seized increased by almost 107 per cent.

CIS assistant director Harald Wuigk described Wilson’s case as “an excellent example of the work CBSA undertakes to safeguard the safety and security of Canadians.”

Anyone with information about suspicious cross-border activity can call the CBSA Border Watch toll-free line at 1-888-502-9060.

Police at the time said a chartered bus with about 50 people in their late teens – many of whom were drunk – had stopped at the station.

Some of the teens got in a confrontation with two men driving in the area and the fight quickly escalated.

Surrey RCMP say Dario was one of the men in the car and first left the fight, but then returned with a twoby-four board. Several people were taken to hospital.

Dario, 24, was due in court in March to be sentenced but failed to show up.

He is described as black, six-foot-threeinches tall, 179 pounds, thin, bald, with brown eyes and a scar on his right arm.

Anyone who sees Dario or has information about his whereabouts is asked to call 911 or Surrey RCMP at 604-588-0502.

Thank you for your business!

Metro Vancouver residents waste a lot of food and the regional district is launching a new campaign to prod them to do better.

The Love Food Hate Waste campaign, found online at lovefoodhatewaste.ca, mirrors a successful British initiative credited with cutting food waste 21 per cent over five years.

Metro officials hope to achieve similar gains here by offering similar tips and ideas on how to improve how we buy, use and store food to make it last longer and use it more efficiently.

The regional district estimates 100,000 tonnes per year of food, beverage and dairy products are tossed out that should have been used. Food wasted in an average day in the region consists of

80,000 potatoes, 26,000 bananas, 70,000 cups of milk and 32,000 loaves of bread.

That doesn’t count another 90,000 tonnes per year of food waste that’s considered inedible, like meat bones, egg shells and pineapple skins, all of which is supposed to go in organic food waste bins.

Metro estimates the lack of efficient meal planning adds up to $700 worth of food being wasted per household each year.

Despite the region’s organic waste dumping ban, 30,000 tonnes of avoidable food waste is estimated to be going into landfills, where it generates methane.

Had it been eaten, Metro estimates the carbon emission reductions would have been equivalent to taking 2,000 cars off the road.

Peace Arch Hospital’s Marie Rougeau marvels at cards that were created during the recent Makers Fair at South Meridian Elementary. Grade 4 students Anya Prokopich (centre) and Chloe Kang said they were “really happy” to know the cards would brighten the day for more than two dozen long-term residents.

Handmade cards warm patients’ hearts Tracy Holmes

Staff Reporter

ore than two dozen long-term residents at Peace Arch Hospital will have their days brightened with a little glitz, a little glitter and a whole lot of goodwill, thanks to students at South Meridian Elementary.

“It’ll warm their hearts to know that someone else is thinking of them,” Marie Rougeau, the hospital’s manager of volunteer services, told Grade 4 students Anya Prokopich and Chloe Kang.

“These are amazing pieces of art.”

Prokopich and Kang – members of the school’s Spirit Club – presented Rougeau with more than two dozen cards that were made during the school’s Maker’s Fair last month.

The fair, in its second year, is “a celebration of creativity” spearheaded by the Spirit Club and aimed at giving students a chance to showcase who they are through something they’ve made.

Open to all grades, creations this year ranged from soap and a Lego pinball machine to doll clothes made from elastic bracelets and cupcakes.

Students had the option of selling their creations, knowing that any proceeds would be donated to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The concept was well-received, and resulted in $327.75 for the charity.

Lynn Oucharek, parent sponsor of the Spirit Club, said the card-making table was the result of a challenge to the student organizers to add “one more piece that got everybody involved in using their skills.”

The leadership club aims to foster creative and critical thinking skills, Oucharek said – and the students did not disappoint.

Offered a buffet of accoutrements to work

with – from glitter glue to tinsel – those who paused to create a card did so with gusto.

“There’s no such thing as too much glitter,” Prokopich noted with a smile.

Rougeau revelled in the care put into each card, beaming at the use of colours, the careful placement of stickers and sentiments that included ‘Get better’, ‘Get well soon’ and ‘Hope you get better, think happy.’

Principal Joanie Donovan said the students’ efforts are something to be proud of.

Oucharek said often all students need to succeed is the gentle suggestion that they can.

“All it takes is a little open-the-door, and they run,” she said.

“They just need to know that it’s possible.”

Popular event runs May 15-18

Cloverdale Rodeo kicks off Surrey is gearing up for its 69th annual Cloverdale Rodeo and 127th annual Country Fair, and organizers say this year will be one for the memory books.

The event, May 15 to 18 at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds at 176 Street and 60 Avenue, is the culmination of a year of planning.

The rodeo will include bareback riding, barrel racing, saddle bronc riding, bull riding and the ever-popular mutton busting.

Some of the world’s best cowboys and cowgirls will attend as the Cloverdale Rodeo continues its practice of providing an invitational event, offering up a total of $328,000 in cash prizes for the four main events.

“This year’s crop of elite veteran competitors along with the next wave of young athletes will deliver an amazing exhibition of athleticism and an unparalleled rodeo experience,” says Cloverdale Rodeo Chair Penny Smythe.

Cloverdale’s youngest riders get their chance to shine in the mutton bustin’ competition, featured at all five rodeo performances.

B.C.-based Karen Lee Batten, B.C. Country Music Assocation’s female vocalist of the year, will also be performing at the rodeo.

Trick rider and liberty horse entertainer Niki Cammaert Flundra is also a featured performer.

Also new in 2015 is the West

Semiahmoo House’s A Taste of B.C.’s Finest set for May 23

‘Gourmet’ fundraiser on tap Nick Greenizan

PLANT SALE

Staff Reporter

Semiahmoo House Society is getting set for its biggest fundraiser of the year – for one of the organization’s most important programs.

On Saturday, May 23, Semiahmoo House – a nonprofit organization that provides support and services for people with disabilities and their families – will host more than 450 people at its A Taste of B.C.’s Finest event, which is now in its 11th year.

Billed as a “gourmet extravaganza,” the event will feature food, wine and beer tastings from more than 40 vendors, as well as music, door prizes, raffle draws and more.

This year, two 30-minute winetasting tutorials will also be held.

Over the past decade, the fundraiser has brought in between $40,000-$50,000, which goes to support Semiahmoo House’s recreation and leisure programs.

This year, organizers are hoping to raise more than $50,000.

“We don’t get any government funding for our rec and leisure services, and about 10 years ago, we thought an event like this would be a good way to support them,” said Semiahmoo House executive director Doug Tennant.

The recreation and leisure services include “a wide variety

Guests mingle during last year’s A Taste of B.C.’s Finest event. of different events for people with developmental disabilities,” Tennant explained.

“A whole pile of activities – from a photo club, to yoga, or for social (nights) where they’ll go, as a group, to the casino, or to the movies.

“Basically, it gives them the opportunity to do what anybody else their age is able to do.”

Many friendships are formed among those involved in the various clubs and social groups, which, Tennant added, is important, as having a developmental disability can sometimes be isolating.

“It’s sort of an invisible barrier.

A lot of (our clients) they wouldn’t get to go out to these things without their families, or go out at night to these types

of things, so it can be lonely for them,” he said. “But now they’re out in a group, meeting people. It opens up a big world for them.”

Speaking of opening up big worlds, Tennant said that another benefit of the Taste of B.C.’s Finest event is that it gives the community and chance to come by and see what Semiahmoo House is all about.

“Fundraising is always important with an event like this, but more than anything else, this is a chance for us to invite the community into our building and thank them all for their support,” he said.

Tickets to the event are $75.

Not hearing clearly when many people are talking?

Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, System Audéo V has been designed specifically to understand in group situations.

The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in company, or in the restaurant.

It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that are decisive when it comes to hearing things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory center of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Hearing sensation!

Swiss researchers: Audéo V is superior for conversation.

Without Audéo V

With Audéo V

The New Audeo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech.

New hearing chip developed Swiss audiologists have developed a new hearing aid chip that is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can test the new Audéo V system

by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. The test phase in particular is designed to clarify how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role a new technology called “Autosense OS” plays. The chip recognizes where the person being spoken to

is located and amplifies only his or her voice, while ambient noise is lowered and the optimum hearing programs are seamlessly adjusted.

Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing system can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds.

According to Swiss researchers, this significantly augments speech comprehension, especially in conversation. Interested people can register for a no-obligation demonstration of the Audéo V by calling 888.408.7377

it by 2022.

Premier Christy Clark announced the decision to proceed with the project – as a bridge on the existing alignment – in September 2013, after two rounds of public and stakeholder consultation, and said the project scope and business case would be made public the following spring.

NDP transportation critic Claire Trevena said the failure to deliver a business plan before detailed design work began shows the province’s attitude continues to be “just do it and see what evolves.”

“Is this going to move the traffic problem further north?” she asked. “A real business case should address if this is the best way of dealing with that bottleneck.”

Project director Geoff Freer said more time was needed to do more traffic and engineering analysis.

The project definition report spelling out the proposed scope is expected to be released this fall, he said, followed by more consultation.

More work is ongoing but Freer said findings so far confirm the project team’s intent to build a new 10-lane bridge, with one of the extra lanes in each direction dedicated for HOV/transit.

Once the project report is tabled along with a cost estimate, decisions must be made about how to finance the project, whether as is widely assumed it will be tolled, and whether or not it will be a private-public partnership.

About $53 million is budgeted over the next two years on project planning.

Soft soil Soft soil in the river delta is a concern for engineers, so geotechnical drilling has been a major focus of the recent work.

Freer said drill holes on each side of the river had to go down through 315 metres of river silt – more than 1,000 feet – to reach glacial gravel, but added that doesn’t necessarily mean much higher costs or that pilings will have to be driven down that far.

He expects the Massey project cost will be “in the same ballpark” as the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway

1 project, but for a bridge with long-graded approaches, much like the Alex Fraser Bridge.

Trevena said the potential effect of tolling the Highway 99 crossing must also be weighed.

“How are you going to make sure you don’t see the same problems we saw at the Port Mann?” she asked, referring to lower-than-expected toll revenue as some drivers choose free crossings.

Freer acknowledged tolls can reduce a bridge’s use but predicts it won’t be a factor at the Massey crossing.

“Regardless of whether you toll it or not, because there’s so much congestion, it probably wouldn’t change the scope in any way shape or form.”

He also said updated traffic estimates confirm that 60 per cent of the traffic through the tunnel is between Surrey, Delta and Richmond and not Vancouver.

Many of the trips ending in Richmond may be going to Vancouver via the Canada Line, he added.

Other data also shows port trucks make up only about two per cent of tunnel traffic, he said.

The Massey Tunnel doesn’t meet modern earthquake, width or height standards and major repairs to electrical and ventilation systems will be needed in about 10 years.

If a new bridge is tolled, it’s unclear whether a reformed tolling system might be in place in Metro Vancouver by the time it opens – area mayors want to pursue some form of road pricing.

Bridge too soon?

Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman said the eventual business plan must be peer-reviewed by other agencies to bolster public confidence.

Even then, he suggested, it may be premature for the province to commit to another bridge megaproject and perhaps wiser to wait and see how traffic patterns evolve from the opening of the South Fraser Perimeter Road and from a Pattullo rebuild.

“Obviously the Massey is a bottleneck, but the Pattullo is falling apart, so to me that’s the higher priority.”

hey’re off to the rodeo.

The West Fine Art Show – now in its sixth year – comes to this year’s Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair this weekend (May 15-18).

And organizers – and artists – Murray Phillips (president of the West Fine Art Show Society) and Brian Croft (vice-president) say they couldn’t be happier with the reception they have received at the new venue.

It seems like a natural fit for an art show that began its life at former senator Gerry St. Germain’s Indian Springs Land and Cattle Co. Ranch and has specialized in works that provide inspired evocations of the landscape of Canada’s west.

That includes not only invited professional artists adept at interpreting nature and wildlife, but also others who evoke human interaction with the landscape, from

ranching and settling to the evolution of the West’s urban areas.

“We have 19 artists of all varieties and styles and flavours of art – it’s an absolutely beautiful, very strong show,” said Croft, in a brief pause before setting up at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.

“Joining up with the rodeo for the first time has given it a really professional look from panelling to lighting,” he added.

“The rodeo people have been fantastic – we’ve never been in a venue where people have been more bending over backwards to make sure everything is right.”

That’s all the more important because – in addition to showcasing the artists, the intention of the non-profit society has always been to raise money for community causes, most notably the CH.I.L.D (Children with Intestinal and Liver Disorders) Foundation.

That fundraising association actually prompted the connection with the rodeo,

Croft explained.

“The really neat thing that happened this year is that we were looking for another venue and this was suggested to us by CH.I.L.D.” He added that 10 per cent of all art sales at the show will be split with CH.I.L.D and the rodeo’s own associated cause, the Cloverdale Rodeo Youth Initiative Foundation.

In addition to the presence of many of the artists to meet with viewers, musical entertainment will be provided by guitarist John Gilliat – who has become something of a West Fine Art Show fixture in recent years.

“He’s a fabulous flamenco player – and he’ll be working with us for all four days of the show, as well as at the launch party on Thursday,” Croft said.

In addition to Phillips – a passionate painter of the wilderness – and Croft, wellknown for his atmospheric recreations of B.C.’s urban history, the show includes work

Featured this year is what’s billed as a “once-in-a-lifetime” chance to experience a traditional puppet show

by Vietnam’s Golden Dragon Water Puppet Theatre. The show features ancient music, dance, song and fire – all on water.

B.C. singers Music with Marnie and The Secret Life of Walter Manny will also take the stage, as will The Street Circus acrobats from Manitoba and an Icelandic puppet production of Peter and the Wolf. FrenchCanadian musicians Bon Débarras will keep toes tapping and Order of Canada recipient Dave Douchard shares his magical, musical storytelling.

While some shows

are suitable for children as young as six months old, others are appropriate for children nine and up.

But there are plenty of other inexpensive or free things to do at the festival as well.

The outdoor Community Spirit Stage features ongoing, fee-free entertainment throughout the threeday event. Students from Holly Elementary, for example, will display their taiko drumming and Bollywood dance, while Hippy Mike gives a skateboard demonstration and Mr. Fantastik wows with his acrobatics and African dance skills.

Access to the festival site is free and free art activities include an art card station, a giant sandbox, marimba playing, storytelling tent, chalk art and

more.

Kids with wristbands ($10/$6) will be allowed to try their hand (and feet!) at the circus arts, with some plate spinning, juggling and stilt-walking, as well as play with clay, produce an animated short film or have their face painted.

There is also a free festival procession Saturday at 12:30 p.m., where Axé Capoeira will lead participants on a colourful parade that’ll wind its way through the park.

Everyone is invited to bring a costume and join in.

Expert appraisers on hand at Surrey’s antiques fair Rummage through the attic, check out the storage area in the garage, and gather up any old gold jewellery you’re planning to sell – and bring your potential treasures to the next Antiques Off The Roadshow at Surrey Art Gallery.

Participants at the upcoming show, May 30 from 12-3 p.m., will be able to get verbal appraisals by experts who are knowledgeable about jewelry, antiques, collectibles, antiquarian

books, and Asian, European, and First Nations art.

The appraisers will ask questions such as, “Where did the item come from?,” “How much did you pay for it?,” “Is it a family heirloom?,” and “What do you know about its history?”

The cost is $10 for the first item and $5 for each additional item.

Registration is not required for the drop-in event – sponsored by Surrey Art Gallery

Association – and those who just want to come along to observe are welcome.

One of the pleasures of the show is the element of surprise – no

one can predict what is going to turn up. One of the most memorable items to debut at the show in recent years, for example, was a helmet the owner believed to

T, FASE-FREE L S S HA

be from the First World War era.

During the appraisal it was discovered that it was an authentic Roman helmet, which turned out to be quite

valuable.

The panel of expert appraisers includes Linda Devine, an expert gemologist; Greg Tolliday; Jane Harris, who specializes

in silver; Jeff Harris, a specialist in Aboriginal and Inuit art; and John King, an antiquarian book dealer.

Surrey Art Gallery is located at 13750 88 Ave.

Seven-a-side tournament set for May 31

Rugby event to support MS research Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

Three members of the Bayside Rugby Club are doing their best to raise money for multiple sclerosis research through a seven-a-side

tournament later this month.

Paige Smith, her brother, Riley Smith, and Paige’s boyfriend, Taylor Stogryn, have organized a one-day tournament Sunday, May 31 at South Surrey Athletic Park,

with funds raised set to benefit the MS Society of Canada – an organization near and dear to all three Baysiders.

Paige and Riley’s grandmother, an Ocean Park resident, suffers

from the disease – a chronic, progressive condition that damages nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

“She’s only in her mid-60s, but we have never seen her out of

her wheelchair,” explained Paige, 20. “Throughout our entire lives, we have seen her in and out of the hospital due to complications from the disease.” i see page 29

Jansen Crossley homers in win over Nanaimo last weekend

Tritons look to rally against Whalley rivals Nick Greenizan Sports Reporter

If the White Rock Tritons are to put something of a winning streak together, tonight will be a good time to start.

The struggling BC Premier Baseball League team is set to host the Whalley Chiefs in a rare Friday night doubleheader – the games were moved to tonight, at 5 p.m. and 7:30

p.m., after originally being scheduled for Saturday afternoon – and are badly in need of a couple victories.

The Tritons won once in four games last weekend – losing twice to the Victoria Mariners before splitting a doubleheader with the Nanaimo Pirates – and currently sit with a 3-16 won-loss record.

The Tritons earned their only win of the

week Sunday morning at South Surrey Athletic Park, 4-3 against the Pirates.

Nanaimo jumped out to an early lead in the game after scoring a pair of first-inning runs, but the Tritons scored four in the third.

The first run was plated when a Dawson Veeneman sacrifice fly scored Aaron Wiegert from third base, and the home team took the lead one batter later, when second baseman

Jansen Crossley crushed a three-run home run that scored himself, Graydon Rasmussen and Liam Mitchell.

Tritons’ pitcher Patrick van den Brink had his best performance of the season, too, lasting the full seven innings while striking out 10.

After tonight’s twin bill against Whalley, the Tritons don’t take to the field until Tuesday, when they take on the Coquitlam Reds.

Cali Martinez at rugby U20s

Suiting up for Canada

Earl Marriott Secondary grad Cali Martinez is wearing the Maple Leaf this week, as a member of Canada’s men’s under20 rugby team.

The Canadian side is currently in Lisbon, Portugal, participating in the U20 World Rugby Trophy tournament, and Martinez – a former EMS rugby captain who currently plays for UBC – is among the 22 players on the roster.

Martinez has international experience on the rugby pitch – last summer he was one of eight South Surrey players to play for Canada at a U19 Rugby League tournament in Glasgow, Scotland.

The team got the tournament off to a good start Tuesday, beating Namibia 35-20.

Canada is back on the pitch Saturday when they face off against Hong Kong; the game can be streamed live online at Portugal Rugby’s official website, www.fpr.pt – Nick Greenizan

Third time is the charm For most players, playing in the RBC Cup is a once in a lifetime achievement.

Not so for Demico Hannoun, who is playing in his third consecutive Junior ‘A’ national championship tournament – with his third B.C. Hockey League team, no less.

The 19-year-old former Surrey Eagle is in Portage la Prairie, Man. this week, skating with the Penticton Vees at the five-team tournament. He has a pair of assists in three games, so far.

Hannoun was with the Vernon Vipers last season, a team which hosted the RBC Cup and was eliminated in a semifinal game.

In 2013, he was with the Eagles during their run to the RBC in Summerside, PEI. The Eagles also lost in the semifinal round.

New record Thirteen-year-old Surrey track-and-field athlete Dolly Gabri has bettered the B.C. Athletics record for the shotput in the Midget (14-15) age group.

Emma MacCorquodale of Duncan set the mark in June of 2005 with a throw of 13.46-m, a mark that Gabri has bettered in each of three recent meets.

The Sullivan Heights Secondary student had a best throw of 14.51-m at the Fraser Valley Invitational High School Meet on April 25, placed first at the Surrey High School Championships May 1 with a toss of 14.89-m, and followed that with a win at the Kajaks Throws Meet, where she threw 14.99-m.

Proctor honoured Surrey resident Rachel Proctor has been named to the 2015 Great Northwest Athletic Conference softball allconference first team.

Proctor, in her third season playing outfield with the Simon Fraser University Clan, was the team leader in most offensive categories this past season. She led the team with a .354 batting average, five home runs, a .520 slugging percentage and a .415 on-base percentage.

Her totals of 25 runs batted in and 45 hits both ranked second on the team.

Simon Fraser finished its 2015 season with a 17-30 (won-loss) record.

“Taylor and I both want to do something fun this summer that promotes rugby and Bayside in our community, and it was Riley’s idea to make it a fundraiser for the MS Society,” Paige explained.

The tournament, which will run from 9 a.m. until the evening, will feature teams from five divisions – men’s elite, men’s social, women’s elite, and both boys and girls under-18.

While a large contigent of players will be from the Semiahmoo Peninsula, teams are coming from throughout the Lower Mainland and even Seattle.

In addition to registration fees,

money will be raised through food sales and prize draws, including a 50/50 draw.

“We’re hoping to raise a few thousand dollars,” Paige said.

“We’ve had a lot of support from all over the community so far, and it should be a lot of fun.”

At the event, information will also be available about both MS and the Bayside Rugby Club, and the event is open to anyone.

The homes at Elgin House feature rich architectural character and stunning contemporary finishings.

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT

Elgin House is a residential community with everything right at your doorstep

I

t’s easy to have it all at Elgin House – South Surrey’s newest collection of contemporary East Coast-style homes at an incredible value. Discover the residences at the landmark master planned community of Harvard Gardens in the Rosemary Heights neighbourhood, located at the intersection of 32nd Avenue and 152nd Street.

The security of a quiet residential community combined with a bustling urban environment creates a convenient lifestyle that makes Elgin House so desirable – it’s all you could want right at your doorstep, including parks and trails.

From acquiring everyday needs at Southpoint Exchange, spending an afternoon of leisurely shopping the array of boutiques at The Shops at High Street or Morgan Crossing, or hitting Morgan Creek Golf Course with friends on a sunny day. Craving a night out? There are plenty of nearby restaurants including Cactus Club Café and The Keg Steakhouse if you’re looking to grab a bite to eat, watch the game, or catch up with friends.

There is something for everyone only minutes away, including transit and

Highway 99 for quick access to surrounding areas. Plus Elgin House is just a 10-minute drive away from the Peace Arch Border, Crescent Beach, and all the amenities of beautiful White Rock. Even YVR is a mere 30 minutes away. Throw in some of the region’s top schools and there is no question that Elgin House is the right choice, from budding families to downsizers alike.

The South Surrey condos boast a contemporary touch inspired by the best of East Coast architecture, including brick and stone cladding, natural wood and black metal detailing. Once inside, homeowners will find a mix of one and two bedrooms with rich and durable laminate wood flooring in the entry, living, dining and kitchen areas, and plush carpet in bedrooms. Enjoy the spacious luxury

of over-height, 9-foot ceilings, and engineered stone countertops with islands perfect for entertaining and casual dining. Flat-panelled cabinetry features sleek polished chrome in either high gloss white or high gloss gray, and bathrooms includes modern patterned hand-set ceramic tile tub and shower featuring marble or glass mosaic accents.

Homeowners will also enjoy a membership to the exclusive 9,000 square foot Rowing Club. The resort-style amenity is located just steps from Elgin House and features an outdoor pool and spa, gymnasium, fitness facilities, a screening room and more.

To see this desirable community for yourself, visit the Elgin House sales centre – open 12pm to 6pm daily except Fridays in the master planned community of Harvard Gardens.

“In addition to getting a taste of the beautiful community, visitors will also be able to tour Elgin House’s two display suites and learn more about the homes that are available,” says Goldie Alam, Senior Vice President Marketing.

With construction well underway, Elgin House is set to complete in early 2016.

GRANT, Denise Elaine September 27, 1957 - May 8, 2015

Denise Elaine Grant (nee Racette) died at the age of 57 years. She spent her childhood in Medicine Hat, Alberta but spent her adult years in Vancouver and then White Rock, BC. She is survived by a large and loving family including her parents, Drs. Lois and Paul Racette of Medicine Hat/White Rock; her sister Thérèse Racette (LeNeveu) of Winnipeg, and her children Renée and Marc; her brother Paul Joseph Racette (Katie) of Rambouillet, France, and their children Camille and Emerson; her sister Jocelyn Racette/Olsén (Lars Goran) of Karlskrona, Sweden and their children Michael, Susanne and Therese; and her aunts Jeanne Dawson (Brian), and Pauline Howatt (Gerald) and their children.

Denise began her career as a lawyer and practiced law for 10 years. She then switched to her first love, music. She was a gifted, creative and passionate pianist, composer and teacher. Perhaps her greatest accomplishment was passing along this love and gift of music to young people, both through teaching piano lessons and as a music teacher in the Langley school system. She also enjoyed the outdoors including hiking, skiing and mountain climbing.

She will be remembered by all for her enthusiasm, sense of adventure, infectious laugh and most of all, her gentle kindness and compassion.

A Celebration of her will be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2015 at 1:00 pm at Victory Memorial Park Funeral Centre 14831 28th Avenue, Surrey, BC. Condolences may be offered at www.victoryfuneralcentre.ca Victory Memorial Park Funeral
