HOSPITALS STILL CLOGGED ▶ DESPITE PROMISES FOR IMPROVEMENT, MORE PATIENTS WAITING FOR BEDS IN FRASER HEALTH REGION JEFF NAGEL

Hospitals remain severely congested in Fraser Health and by some measures the problem has worsened despite repeated vows in recent years to improve conditions.

Three years ago this month, a 2012 congestion review warned hallway medicine was so rampant in Fraser Health that staff were “resigned” that the jammed conditions would remain “intractable.” At that time, just 51 per cent of patients admitted through emergency were getting a bed within 10 hours. Fast forward to April 2015 and that measure has worsened to 35.1 per cent of patients getting a bed within the 10-hour benchmark, down from around 40 per cent for most of the last year. It means two-thirds or more of patients now wait longer than 10 hours at

hospitals such as Surrey Memorial, Abbotsford Regional and Ridge Meadows. The target for timely access to a bed has actually been lowered over the years. Today, Fraser Health is only aiming to get 55 per cent of patients into a bed within 10 hours. Back in 2011, the health ministry gave Fraser a goal of 67 per cent rising to 90 per cent by 2013, but – with the health region falling far short – the province eliminated those targets from subsequent health authority service plans. continued on page 5

Opponents of a planned coal export terminal on the Fraser River are vowing to keep the fight going. They made that clear June 2 at Port Metro Vancouver’s annual general meeting, where Paula Williams, organizer for the group Communities and Coal, presented a petition opposing the plan by Fraser Surrey Docks to load coal onto ships in the river. “There is widespread opposition to your project,” states the petition to Fraser Surrey Docks’ CEO signed by more than 3,000 people and endorsed by 50 businesses and organizations. “We urge you to abandon plans for this coal port and seek a different path forward.” continued on page 4

Recovery home rumour riles Bridgeview

▼ CLAIMS THAT A CHURCH IS GOING TO BUILD A 145-BED RECOVERY CENTRE ARE FALSE, CITY AND WORSHIP CENTRE SAY KEVIN DIAKIW

Fear and anger over a large recovery home planned for North Surrey are unfounded. Scores of people in Bridgeview were preparing to go to battle against the city and Calvary Worship Centre over a proposed 145-bed alcohol and drug recovery facility as purported in a letter circulating in the community. However, it’s entirely fiction, according to both the City of Surey and staff at the Calvary Worship Centre. Surrey General Manager of Planning and Development Jean LaMontagne said Wednesday there have been rumours the worship centre was looking to move locations, but no mention of a recovery facility. Brother Henry Agbozo, with the Calvary Worship Centre, said claims made in the letter are false. “I don’t know where that came from, that is an outright lie,” Agbozo said Wednesday. “We have never operated a recovery (facility). I have no idea where they got the idea from.” The worship centre wants to move and is eyeing a three-acre parcel of land near 128 Street and Bridgeview Drive. “We are looking for land to purchase and one of the options was in Bridgeview,” Agbozo said. The congregation is growing and Agbozo wants to move the church from its current rental property in Bridgeview to its own facility, which would accommodate 750 people. He was stunned when he saw the document circulating in the community. “I was so shocked when I read the letter… where on Earth did they get this from?” Agbozo asked. “Unless someone is being mischievous?” Bridgeview resident Hilda Horton became riled when she read about plans for a huge recovery facility, but was puzzled when she found out it’s untrue. She wants to know who is circulating the errant letter. Horton said it’s unfortunate, as several people in the community are quite upset about it.

‘I think you probably did this,’ says judge in finding accused Surrey slasher not guilty ▼ ATTACK AT A PARTY OF GRADE 12 STUDENTS IN 2013 LEFT A YOUNG MAN WITH A DISFIGURING SCAR ACROSS HIS FACE SHEILA REYNOLDS

A man has been found not guilty of slashing and disfiguring a teen’s face at a Surrey house party, despite the trial judge’s opinion that the accused likely did commit the “cowardly” crime. Harman Singh Virk, 20, was facing charges of aggravated assault, two counts of possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and break and enter to commit and indictable offence in connection to an incident at a party of Grade 12 students from Frank Hurt Secondary in 2013. It was March 15 of that year when a male student invited between 30 and 45 guests to a get-together at his house to both kick off spring break and celebrate grad early. Two of the guests were sitting on the front step of the home that night when two others walked by. Suddenly one

of seated men was attacked from behind and slashed across the right side of his face with a broken bottle, leaving a gaping wound from his ear to the corner of his mouth. A few minutes later, he was jabbed once more on the other side of his face. The victim required 28 stitches to close the first wound and still bears a disfiguring scar on his face. ▶ “... what a Virk was found not guilty in B.C.

▼ PORT: TWO COURT CASES ARE ONGOING from page 1

It reiterates concerns about more coal trains rolling through White Rock, Delta and Surrey, as well as global warming impacts from the eventual burning of the coal overseas. The letter also repeats criticisms of the port’s failure to ensure a health impact assessment was conducted to the satisfaction of medical health officer Fraser Surrey Docks announced last month it’s now proposing to load the coal directly to ships rather than first barging it to Texada Island. Two court challenges are underway against the project. In a separate action, Fraser Surrey Docks is challenging Metro Vancouver’s power to regulate regional air quality, arguing it doesn’t have jurisdiction on federal port lands. That case was to go to trial this month but has been adjourned. Port officials approved the project last summer.

Fraser Health is currently averaging 222 patients across its hospitals who’ve been admitted but not yet given a proper bed and are instead being treated in ERs, hallways, lounges or other nonacute care areas. That’s the highest level since 2011 and well above a target of 165 or less. The health authority’s May report card shows other measures of how long patients stay in hospital are also much worse than the region’s goals. Fraser Health’s new strategic and operational plan, completed last year on orders of Health Minister Terry Lake, was supposed to find new ways to decongest hospitals. Fraser Health President and CEO Michael Marchbank said he expects to see some improvement by fall but he is not banking on swift change. “It’s going to take a lot of hard work and a lot of time to begin to move that needle,” he said in an interview. Marchbank noted Fraser added $5 million this year for more staff to help move patients through the system more quickly or divert them from emergency to other options when appropriate. He insisted acute care decongestion “is definitely a focus and a priority for us.” Much of the region’s current strategy is aimed at areas outside of hospital: providing more community support, home support and increasing home nursing where required. As more capacity in the community comes on stream, it’s hoped there will be fewer people in hospital occupying beds and clogging the flow of incoming patients. “Somebody might get an extra hour or two a day of support in their home and it might prevent them from going to an emergency department or moving to higher levels of care,” Marchbank said. “I think that’s the area that will show some of the greatest return.” A report released last week by the Integrated Care Advocacy Group argued government claims of shifting the emphasis to community care has so far been mainly talk rather than

Hallway medicine continues to be a reality in Fraser Health hospitals despite successive initiatives and promises to tackle hospital congestion.

Marchbank had no comment on the findings. “What I’m concentrating on is really the future and moving forward,” he said. “We recognize in Fraser Health that we are going to have to invest more in the community sector.”

The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday June 12 2015

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Have you ever chosen to pay for private health care treatment, instead of waiting for the provincial system? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com

Last week we asked: Do you support cutting trees in Green Timbers Urban Forest in order to make way for light rapid transit? Here’s how you responded:

Yes 39% No 61%

Set up shop in Surrey Surrey is open for business, while White Rock isn’t. That’s the quick conclusion one can draw from a report by Vancity Credit Union entitled “Open For Business.” It looked at Metro Vancouver cities and assessed which were the best and worst ones to start businesses in. In general, cities in the South Fraser region were rated quite highly. Surrey was first; Langley Township fourth; Langley City fifth; and Delta ninth. New Westminster also rated highly, coming in third. Surrey took top spot for several reasons, with the booming population being a key factor. The population grew by 18.6 per cent from 2006 to 2011, and that growth in population automatically creates new business opportunities. Surrey also is considered to have reasonably low rates of property taxes, although those are rising substantially this year to pay for policing and other services which have had a tough time keeping up with population growth. The cost of both commercial and residential property in Surrey is also more reasonable than in many other parts of the region. That makes it easier for an interested business person to set up in Surrey. Another interesting finding is that family support for a new

business is higher here than in other areas. This is partially due to the fact that Surrey has the highest percentage of homes financially supported by three or more adults – 4.7 per cent. All the factors that propelled Surrey into top spot played a role in White Rock doing so poorly. It is second last, with only West Vancouver more unfavourable to new businesses. Both likely do badly for some similar reasons – the cost of property and population demographics. White Rock’s population is growing very slowly – likely the slowest in the South Fraser region. In addition, it has a high proportion of seniors within its boundaries. Many senior citizens do not spend as much as younger people. Taxes are high, as is the cost of property. In addition, much of White Rock’s business is seasonal – particularly on the waterfront. A business that generates most of its income in three or four months can be a challenging one to operate, particularly if fixed costs continue for 12 months. When walking or driving around White Rock, it is clear that some businesses do well. Most are well-established and have figured out how to keep

their costs under control, while serving the pubic and maximizing profit potential. Some do outstanding jobs and have loyal customers. There are virtually no big box stores in White Rock, but there are no shortage of them across the street in Surrey. Leakage to South Surrey is a continuing challenge for White Rock business operators, who at the same time pay higher taxes than their competitors a short distance away. There is only so much White Rock can do. It would be worthwhile for the city to look closely at business costs that it does have control over, and see if there are any opportunities to reduce costs to business people. Surrey, on the other hand, needs to also do its best to keep taxes and costs as low as possible. A vibrant small business culture does exist in Surrey and it is a key part of the city’s overall economic activity. The report is a welcome and useful one, as it should encourage cities to keep doing what works well and look at way to make the business climate as favourable as possible.

Outrageous cash grab ▼ SURREY’S CULTURE AND RECREATION LEVY A HARDSHIP FOR SENIORS I am a single, retired person, over 70, who has worked extremely hard all of my life to independently provide a full and secure home for my family. I was not given a pension or any supplement that would assist me in retirement. I have never asked for or been given any funding from any level of government. In reviewing my taxes (which have

been paid), I note that this year Surrey has seen fit to arbitrarily insert and additional cost to me of $100 to be used for “Cultural and Recreational” purposes. If I need culture – I will seek it out and pay for it. If I need recreation I will find it and pay my fair share to enjoy it. I do not appreciate an excessive “hidden” tax levied against my strata – a home that I worked over 60 hours a week for over 51 years to attain. I do not appreciate – nor do I think that city staff and their advisors realize the level of the burden they have placed on my shoulders and those of

every other senior that has had their incomes frozen due to retirement. I also resent the fact that I am I paying the same amount as a young family earning dual incomes to provide for facilities that I will probably never see or use. Why have you not given senior pensioners a pass or at least an assist on this outrageous excuse for a money grab? I am extremely disappointed in this additional levy and even more disappointed in a mayor who would allow it to stand.

▼ CANADA’S IMMIGRATION RULES SHOULD WORK TO KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER, NOT TEAR THEM APART This week I learned that a mother was going to be separated from her daughter. I wept. I learned this heart-wrenching separation was happening because of Canada’s immigration rules and regulations. I wept. I want to believe my country upholds justice. This decision may be the law but it has no justice. I weep and I hope and I pray for our systems to join families together; to build a country strong in love and compassion; to change rules and laws to be more just. Oh, Canada...

Forum on youth violence takes place in North Delta

▼ REASONABLE DOUBT SAVES ACCUSED FROM CONVICTION from page 3

“I think you probably did this and if my suspicion is correct, what a monstrous and cowardly thing to do to someone who did nothing to provoke this attack,” Ker said to the accused. “However my thinking you probably did this, or having a suspicion you did this, is not sufficient for the purposes of a conviction in a criminal case. I must be satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that it was you, Mr. Virk, who committed this offence. I am not.” Though several students testified at the February trial, Ker questioned the reliability of much of the evidence, in part due to poor lighting, chaotic circumstances and the fact some of the witnesses had been drinking and/or doing drugs. Ker also noted some of the witnesses acknowledged that their identification of Virk as the assailant was in part based on what they’d heard from other people at the party. “… in this case, there is no independent confirmatory evidence linking Mr. Virk to the offences,” said Ker.

The Delta Police Department is hosting a community forum on youth violence next week. The free June 18 event is intended to provide information, awareness and knowledge to parents and anyone else involved with youth. Teens and youth are welcome to attend with parents or guardians. There will be an information session from 6-7 p.m. that will include several agencies that can provide guidance about topics such as addiction, mental health and family counselling services. Then from 7-9 p.m., presentations will begin. Speakers include two former gang members who will provide insight into gang life and what led them to join and motivated them to leave. Lindsey Houghton, with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C.’s End Gang Life Campaign, will provide an update on the ongoing drug conflict in Surrey and Delta, while Delta Police youth liaison officer John Jasmins will address the effectiveness of community collaboration in dealing with highrisk youth. Raman Gill, a Crime Prevention Family Counsellor, will also share experiences of working with families and young people who’ve been impacted by drugs and criminal behaviour. Questions from the audience will be taken following the presentations. Youth Violence: A Community Discussion takes place at Seaquam Secondary, 11584 Lyon Rd. in North Delta. For more information, email endyouthviolence@deltapolice.ca

Two males who had been eating at the Earls restaurant appear to have been the intended targets, say police.

South Surrey that trapped four youths in a vehicle wedged under a semi-trailer. Monday afternoon, Cpl. Scotty Schumann confirmed that a driver who had reportedly fled the scene of the suspected street-racing incident has now been identified as a 17-year-old Surrey boy, however, neither of the drivers involved are co-operating with the investigation. The crash occurred around 11:40 p.m.

at the intersection of 176 Street and 16 Avenue, when a grey 1999 Honda Accord westbound on 16 Avenue slammed into the side of the southbound semi. Witnesses at the time told police that the Honda – driven by a 16-year-old girl – and one other vehicle had appeared to be racing just before the impact. The second vehicle narrowly missed the truck and continued

westbound. Schumann noted that the driver of the second car – a brown 1999 Toyota Camry that police tracked to a Langley address two days after the crash – did not come forward on his own. He said that in addition to locating and seizing the Camry, investigators have gathered evidence that suggests alcohol, in addition to speed, played a role in the crash.

Now, they’re asking for anyone who may have seen the two vehicles in the lead-up to the crash, between 11:20-11:45 p.m., to call the detachment’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team at 604-599-0502, or Crime Stoppers, at 1-800-222-8477. It’s believed the drivers travelled south on 192 Street from Highway 10, then west on 16 Avenue from 192 Street.

Community Commitment

cQuarrie Hunter is a Surrey-based, multipractice law firm that serves businesses, individuals and institutions in the Lower Mainland and throughout British Columbia. But the members of McQuarrie Hunter also realize that beyond their commitment to client service and the practice of law, their success depends largely on the well-being of their clients and their families. With this in mind, the firm has consistently given back to the communities it serves. In particular, McQuarrie Hunter has focused on providing charitable contributions and support to both Surrey Memorial Hospital, through the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation (formerly the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation), and Royal Columbian Hospital, through the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation.

Six beds serve this function for the entire province and they are located in Vancouver at BC Children’s Hospital.

The Hospital’s former ER is being re-purposed to create CAPSU. A unit that almost 1,000 children a year ( ages 6-17) can access for a 5-7 day stay to undergo diagnosis and initial treatment of their mental illness The need for CAPSU is urgent. Thousands of children and teens in mental distress showed up in Fraser Health’s ERs last year for help. Currently, there are no short-stay stabilization beds for children and youth in Fraser Health, a region with 30% of the province’s young.

Hunter LLP is a proud member and Past Chair on the board of directors of the Surrey Hospital & Outpatient Centre Foundation.

“At McQuarrie Hunter, we strive to support the health and welfare of our community. Having been a business member of the Surrey community for over 50 years, we are proud supporters of the Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation. We are excited to be a small part of the innovative and vital support that Surrey Memorial provides to our growing Surrey community.”

CAPSU will open in 2016 . McQuarrie Hunter’s donation, along with all donations, will be used for equipment and design of this therapeutic Unit.

This state-of-the-art facility is home to 53 medical clinics, including the regional Pacemaker Clinic and the Breast Health Clinic as well as six operating theatres and one of the Lower Mainland’s largest Imaging Departments.

Surrey: A Healthy Community For the last two decades, McQuarrie Hunter has supported every expansion campaign undertaken by the hospital.

Community Commitment McQuarrie Hunter has the distinction of being the first corporate donor to support the Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Foundation’s current $1.3 million campaign to construct a 10 bed Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit(CAPSU).

Jacy J. Wingson of McQuarrie

“Early identification and treatment of mental illness in children is so terribly important”, says Jane Adams, President and CEO of the Foundation. Mental illness is more likely than any other disease to interrupt a young person’s life. Research clearly shows that proper and timely treatment is effective. It can stop the onset of disease or minimize the long-term impact.

There are few things as important as public access to an efficient and state-of-the-art health care system. By supporting health care in the community, the members of McQuarrie Hunter feel they are able to provide contributions that make a real difference. Hospitals serve everyone. Although the partners, lawyers and staff are proud of many of the things they do at McQuarrie Hunter, there are few things they consider as rewarding as supporting Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian hospitals.

McQuarrie Hunter supported the 100 Days to Give Campaign, the catalytic campaign “Early identification and treatment of mental illness in children that raised $10 million so terribly important”, says Jane Adams, president and CEO in start-up funds of the Foundation. “Mental illness is more likely than any for the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and other disease to interrupt a young person’s life”.

A Surrey woman whose quick actions likely saved a senior couple last month was celebrated June 5 with Surrey Fire Services’ first-ever public commendation. “She stopped, she pounded on the door and woke them up,” fire Chief Len Garis said in presenting Yvonne Bernardy-Dearden with a framed Certificate of Merit.

Yvonne Bernardy-Dearden smiles at Andy Johnston as they – with Johnston’s wife Carole and Deputy Fire Chief Karen Fry – chat prior to Surrey Fire Services’ presentation to BernardyDearden of a Certificate of Merit for her role saving the Johnstons from a house. TRACY HOLMES “Her actions, we believe, saved the lives of two individuals.” Bernardy-Dearden was on her way to work at Vancouver airport just before 6 a.m. on May 25 – later than she

typically leaves – when she spotted flames coming from the side of Andy and Carole Johnston’s house, in the 17000-block of 0 Avenue. She didn’t hesitate

to act, calling 911 – twice, after the first call dropped – while pounding and kicking on the home’s front door as the fire was “just turning monstrous.” She didn’t stop until the Johnstons were safely outside. “That morning, I didn’t even think,” Bernardy-Dearden told reporters following the award presentation outside of Hall 14. “I just did what we all should do, would do.” The Johnstons’ home was quickly engulfed and the seniors said last week they’ve yet to hear if it can be saved. They’ve been told it’ll be at least a year before they can return home. “But we’re okay,” Andy Johnston said. “It’s not what you want to have happen in your 70s – or in your 20s – but we’re alive. That’s all that matters.” Garis said that spontaneous combustion of staining materials is suspected to have caused the fire, and that if Bernardy-Dearden hadn’t stopped, “that couple probably wouldn’t be alive.” He noted 32 per cent of fire-related deaths in B.C. are of people 65 years and older, and said the Johnstons’ experience is a good reminder of the importance of having working smoke alarms that are equipped with battery back-up, in the event a fire impacts a home’s electrical system. He hopes the new tradition of public commendations in Surrey – the system is to officially launch in the next couple of weeks – will inspire more people to get involved in helping others when the need arises.

Newton Fest June 20 ▶ ORGANIZERS FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE BLACK PRESS

Newton officials gearing up for the neighbourhood’s 20th-annual Community Festival on June 20 are focusing on hope and positive change for the future. “Newton has seen its

share of tragedy over the past year with last year’s tragedies and the more recent 30-plus shootings… however, there is always hope,” a festival press release states. “Events, area beautification, safety and government advocacy are essential to the long-term success of Newton. Revitalizing the area is vital and events are a massive

part of that plan.” The 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. festival – at the Newton Recreation Centre, 13730 72 Ave. – is a free family event, featuring a day of live entertainment, food and craft vendors, community and business displays, facility tours and interactive activities for all ages. Last year, more than 6,000 turned out to take it in.

Is the Car Becoming a Cell Phone on Four Wheels?

THE ROAD RULES www.roadrules.ca

Cedric Hughes

Barrister & Solicitor

istracted driving has recently become a popular item on soft news days for journalists who otherwise analyze the contentious social and cultural issues of the moment. Their distracted driving articles, however, have an emotional tone. After citing all the statistics, the sources, and the efforts to curb this dangerous but widespread behaviour, they argue for the tough-on-crime approach. Elizabeth Renzetti, for example, in the June 8th Globe and & Mail ended her article, “Texting addicts drive me to distraction” with the following: “Among all the possible solutions, from disabling cell signals in cars to better driver education, emphasizing criminality might just be the way to go. Much higher fines, much stiffer penalties…” Meanwhile, however, the car industry focuses on enhancing your dashboard with your smart phone capabilities that may get much worse before there is any hope of eliminating this growing risk. The industry’s goal, after all, is to provide all the functionality of your phone, all its apps, all its contacts…all of this essential information to which you are clearly reliant upon at your fingertips or awaiting your voice activating commands while you are driving. Google’s Android Auto and Apple’s CarPlay are the software to which the car manufacturers are reacting, mindful, too, of the fact that both Google and Apple seem to regard the vehicle ‘wrapping’ around this software as just more hardware, the design of which they too could master.

Last week, the news services reported Toyota and Ford had formally agreed “to explore collaboration for the implementation of Ford’s SmartDeviceLink (SDL) technology in future Toyota and Lexus vehicles.” The report explained that SDL is “an open source platform that integrates smartphones apps with vehicles through dashboard buttons, display screens and voice recognition technology.” Ford’s Don Butler, Executive Director, Ford Connected Vehicle and Services said, “Dashboard interface design and smartphone connectivity are key elements for product differentiation within the industry. At Ford, we view all aspects of time behind the wheel as core to the experience we provide customers. We’re pleased other members of the industry feel the same way, and look forward to working together to drive even more support for the SDL developer community”. Toyota’s Senior Managing Officer, Shigeki Terashi, said, “We continue to investigate new technologies that both enhance and safeguard the driving experience of Toyota and Lexus owners. The in-car app market is quickly evolving. Developing robust, flexible, safe and user-friendly connected services is a priority for us, and one that we believe is shared by Ford, Livio — a whollyowned subsidiary of Ford and the company overseeing all aspects of SDL development —and other contributors to SDL technology.” Other car manufacturers are also responding to the plans announced by Google and Apple. Chevrolet and Hyundai will offer Android Auto and CarPlay in their models. In India, Mahindra, — India’s premier utility vehicle company, which also now produces cars, electric vehicles, pickups, and commercial vehicles sold in Australia, Europe, Latin America, Malaysia, South Korea, and South Africa will use Google’s Android Auto in its upcoming car models, notably the XUV 500 and the Scorpio.

Ready for a return to The Renaissance ▶ SURREY RESIDENTS PART OF IMMERSIVE, INTERACTIVE HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE THIS WEEKEND ALEX BROWNE

The Renaissance has returned in all its sword-fighting, ballad-singing, archery and jousting glory. Tonight, Saturday and Sunday (June 12-14, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.) the Albion Fairgrounds in Maple Ridge will be a time portal to the world of England in 1515, as the BC Renaissance Festival celebrates its ninth year at the grounds. And Surrey residents are among organizers and players in the immersive, interactive experience. That includes sisters Alessandria and Katrina Testani, who’ll be taking key roles as Catherine of Aragon (King Henry VIII’s first queen) and member of the court Lady Anne Hastings in an ongoing dramatic storyline of intrigue involving a pirate admiral and a disgruntled Scottish lord. Meanwhile Bob French, also a Surrey resident, can be seen roaming the grounds as leader of a band of Gypsies. Billed as “non-stop entertainment for the entire family” the

Members of the Royal Court at this year’s BC Renaissance Festival include (left to right) Chilam as Sheriff McNabb, Surrey resident Katrina Testani as Lady Anne Hastings , Kenneth Tynan as Deputy Usher, Surrey’s Alessandria Testani as Queen Catherine of Aragon, and Kyle Christensson as King Henry VIII. DORIAN OR volunteer-operated event is designed to give 21st century audiences a taste of the excitement of historical life. There’s realism aplenty in the jousting battles staged by the Jousting Alliance of Washington State, partnered with Hazelnut Grove Clydesdales. But there’s also plenty of era-appropriate whimsy, magic, fantasy and colourful enter-

tainment, ranging from the kid-friendly flitting visits of Summer the Fairy to the bellydance artistry of the Shimmy for the Soul company, and – for more adult tastes – racy songs served as an accompaniment to the hearty local brews at the Frog and Fiddle Pub. For those inclined, it’s an opportunity to dress up Renaissance style, with market vendors

selling a range of costume ideas as well as authentic treats. Both children and adults can enjoy games of skill and try their hand at the archery range – and there’s even a chance of being knighted by King Henry and his Queen for their efforts. That it’s easy to get drawn into the historical make-believe of the Renaissance Festival can be seen from Alessandria Testani, who in

addition to wearing Catherine’s regal raiment has also taken on publicity chores for this year’s event. “This is the first year for both of us with the festival,” she said, adding that before joining the Royal Court, she and her sister had an otherwise relatively normal Surrey upbringing, including “going to White Rock beach every summer, playing softball in Guildford and taking ballet classes in Newton.” “I auditioned for the festival in December and was accepted for the role of Queen Catherine,” Testani said. “A few months later, when we hadn’t found an actor who was the right fit for the role of Lady Anne, I brought in my sister to audition.” It can turn into a long-term commitment Testani noted, pointing to French as an example. “He’s been with the festival for quite a few years, first involved as a festival-goer, and eventually he joined on as our volunteer co-ordinator,” she said. Family and group ticket packages are available and there is special pricing for children, youth and seniors. The Albion Fairgrounds are located at 23118 105 Ave. Maple Ridge.

Metro air quality improves BLACK PRESS

Air quality in Metro Vancouver has improved considerably over the last decade despite the region’s growing population. That’s one of the findings of Metro’s annual Caring for the Air report, which says

the emissions of major pollutants that cause smog or harm human health have continued to decline. Many of the gains are due to reduced emissions from improved vehicle technology and from the shift to low-sulphur marine

fuel by ships. Metro officials say they’re committed to continual improvement. The region has targeted older heavily polluting off-road diesel engines in recent years with a system of fees and rebates for retrofits. A wood stove

exchange program also seeks to reduce wood smoke in residential areas. Real-time data from Metro air quality testing stations can be found at airmap.ca

RCMP lawsuit in court Women who say they were harassed and discriminated against during their service with the RCMP are in B.C. Supreme Court this week attempting to certify a class action lawsuit against the force. The certification hearing began Monday and the proposed class action would include 362 current and former officers and civilian employees across the country. The case was launched in 2012 by Janet Merlo, a 19year officer with the Nanaimo RCMP who was among the first officers to go public with allegations. Lawyer David Klein said the common thread among the complainants is harassment, bullying and discrimination over an extended period of time.

New election for doctors A new election has been ordered for the

presidency of Doctors of B.C. after a recount determined the first vote ended in a tie. Dr. Brian Day, a leading proponent of more private health care, had been declared the winner last week by a single vote. Officials at Doctors of B.C. (formerly the B.C. Medical Association) said the initial tally failed to count one vote for Day’s challenger Dr. Alan Ruddiman. The run-off vote between the two continues until June 18.

Site aids youth ‘aging out’ The province has unveiled a new website designed to help teens in foster care prepare for life without government support when they turn 19 and “age out” of care. The site agedout. com was designed by former foster teens to connect with vulnerable youth and showcases services and supports to help make the transition. It includes videos of former youth in care discussing real world challenges and gaming “quests” where youth earn rewards by completing challenges like renting an apartment, getting a bank account, preparing for a job interview or dealing with an abusive relationship.

Chiefs sweep Royals, lose a pair in Nanaimo ▶ WHALLEY WINS TWO OF FOUR ON VANCOUVER ISLAND RICK KUPCHUK

After a very slow start to the season, it took the Whalley Chiefs eight weeks to get to .500. A day later, they were again two games under the mark. The Chiefs took both ends of a double header with the Parksville Royals Saturday afternoon in the Vancouver Island community, evening their record at 14-14. A day later and a half-hour away, they were defeated twice by the Nanaimo

Pirates, falling two games under .500 but still on pace to qualify for the B.C. Premier Baseball League playoffs. Whalley is now four games clear of the ninth-place Coquitlam Reds, and have 14 games remaining on their schedule. Whalley won two close contests in Parksville, edging the Royals by scores of 3-2 and 6-4. In the first game, the Chiefs opened the scoring in the top of the first inning when Braeden Massignani drew a bases-loaded walk. Massignani collected his second RBI (run

batted in) when he doubled to scored Brendan Gerbert in the fifth inning to give the visitors a 2-0 lead. Parksville scored twice in the bottom half of the fifth to tie the score, then Massignani scored the winning run in the seventh, scoring on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Kaplanis. Kyle Stubbins was the winning pitcher in relief, holding the Royals to one hit and a walk in two and one-third innings pitched. Matt Legg and Massignani paced the offense with three hits each. The Royals carried

a 3-2 lead into the final three innings of the second game, and the Chiefs responded with two runs in the fifth inning and two more in the seventh. Lucas Soper was three-for-four with two runs scored for Whalley, with Legg and Massignani adding two hits each. Massignani also drove in three runs. The Chiefs used four pitchers to complete the sweep in Parksville, then had little left for Sunday in Nanaimo. The Pirates cruised to an 8-2 win in the first game, belting out 10 hits. Soper paced the Chiefs with a single and a double.

Nanaimo dominated the finale. Five runs in the first inning and eight more in the fifth brought the game to an end with the Pirates

3-2 in eight innings to the first-place North Shore Twins. The Blue Jays managed just two hits against the Tritons in South Surrey, while White Rock rocked a pair of North Delta pitchers for a dozen hits over six innings. Held to another two hits by the Blaze in Sunday’s first game, singles from Logan Newman and Trevor Gentles was all the offense the Blue Jays could produce. Langley had 10 hits over the five innings, and scored four times in the second inning, three in the third, and closed out the game with four more runs on the fifth. North Delta was blanked for another six innings in the second game, and fell behind 3-0 after two innings and allowing the Blaze another five runs in the fifth. The Blue Jays had six of their seven hits in the seventh inning, scoring four times to cut the Langley lead in half. Singles by William Quito, Tyler Hoefer and Gentles drove in three runs, and sacrifice fly by Braeden Miller scored the fourth. The Jays almost ended their slide in North Vancouver Tuesday, but after taking a 2-1 lead in the top of the first extra inning, they gave up two in the bottom half as the Twins took advantage of a double, two walks and an error. North Delta outhit the Twins 5-4, but two unearned runs by North Shore lifted the visitors to the win. Daniel Gosselin was forced to take the loss, allowing the three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six batters. Now in sixth place at 12-7, four games out of the league lead, North Delta was scheduled to play the Twins again yesterday (Thursday) in North Vancouver, before two games Saturday at home against the Parksville Royals. Game times are at 1 and 3:30 p.m. at Mackie Park.

Surrey, where he’s been for the past few weeks after his college season ended. “Words can’t describe the emotion that was going through me when I heard my name called.” Prior to the draft – which began Monday and wrapped up Wednesday – Degano, a pitcher, was told to expect to be drafted on Day 1, when the first two rounds were held. But those expectations did little to calm the butterflies in his stomach as he watched the draft unfold. “I was just waiting and waiting, and in the end, I was a little surprised by it – I didn’t know the Yankees were that interested in me,” said Degano, who watched the draft at home with his family. “I spoke to them before, but a lot of teams had shown interest. Then a few weeks ago, (a team scout) called me up and we talked for a bit on the phone.” Degano grew up playing for Whalley Little League – as a 12-yearold, he was a member of the association’s team that competed at the Little League World

Series – and he played his first year in the PBL for the Chiefs before moving to the White Rock for his final two years of eligibility. It was with the Tritons that he secured a scholarship to play at Marshalltown Community College in Iowa, where he played for two seasons before transferring to Indiana State University, where he starred for the Sycamores. The six-foot-four left-hander was a second-team all-star in the Missouri Valley Conference this past season, after posting an 8-3 won-loss record with a 2.36 earned-run average in 99 innings. He also had 126 strikeouts and just 28 walks. For Degano, the road to the professional ranks has not been without its stumbling blocks, however. The former Triton missed the 2013 and ‘14 seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery. (Tommy John surgery – also known as ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction – is common among pitchers and involves the ligament in the elbow being replaced by a tendon from elsewhere in the body.) While the success rate of the surgery is high – many pitchers say they feel stronger post-surgery than they did before – the recovery time is long and grueling. But Degano said he never got frustrated or thought about packing it in. Instead, it drove him to work even harder. “Really, it just made me want to play the game even more. Growing up, you kind of just take it for granted, but being away from it, you realize how much you love the game,” he said. “It just fuels the fire to want to come back.” Now healthy, Degano left this week for the Yankees’ team facilities in Tampa, Florida, where he expects to work out for a few weeks and, after signing his first professional contract, then be assigned to one of the organization’s rookie-league teams for the summer. “It’s been a long journey, through all the stages – the PBL, then going to Iowa, then Indiana, then having the setbacks that I had. It’s been a lot of years in the making, but I’m just excited to get going,” he said.

Surrey’s Cecilia Pang has been announced as a winner of Plan Canada’s Top 20 Under 20 award for 2015, which recognizes Canada’s brightest youth who are making a meaningful impact in their communities and beyond. An accomplished pianist, painter and writer, Pang, 16, has created a website that provides academic resources to students and fundraises to support sanitation initiatives in the Philippines and education in Nicaragua. Pang is one of 20 youth from across Canada who were recognized for their innovation, leadership and achievement at an awards ceremony that took Celia Pang place last week in Toronto.

▼ RED CROSS THANKS RED FM FOR RAISING $730,000 FOR VICTIMS OF NEPAL EARTHQUAKE The Canadian Red Cross accepted a cheque and thanked radio station RED FM and the South Asian community for the more than $730,000 that they raised through two fundraiser radio-thons in Vancouver and Calgary. All proceeds will help Red Cross relief efforts in Nepal. Red 93.1 FM in Vancouver raised $418,724.85 and Red 106.7 FM in Calgary raised $311,970.06. RED FM president Kulwinder Sanghera thanked the community for their outstanding support. “The community has been giving generously to help those in need over the years – whether it was the floods in Pakistan, or a typhoon in the Philippines – we never stop helping.” Thousands of people called in to make their pledges and hundreds walked in to the RED FM studios to donate. “RED FM and their community members continue to be tremendous supporters of the Canadian Red Cross,” said Kimberley Nemrava, Canadian Red Cross Director for B.C. & Yukon. “Their outpouring of compassion and generosity contributes greatly to how we can help those impacted by devastating disasters. Thank you.” India and Nepal share a unique relationship of friendship and cooperation characterized by open borders and deep-rooted people-to-people contacts of kinship and culture.

With that much power, typically comes a hefty bill at the gas station, and not because of all the ice cream sandwiches purchased there. However, a comparison check shows the RDX offers fuel efficiency is rivalled by very few luxury SUVs. Given the often-steep gas prices we see these days, the RDX’s fuel economy on average is 10.6 litres/100 km, allowing motorists to enjoy summer drives guilt-free. The pleasure of cruising the coastline was amplified by the views offered from the RDX’s raised stance. Driving as the sun dipped below the horizon meant it was time to open the moonroof. The

moonroof is easily operated with a onetouch power mechanism along with a visor that actively reduces the vibrations and noise associated with having a window open, allowing for a smooth and noise-free ride. Last, but certainly not least, I had long been awaiting my parents’ arrival with the anticipation of finally properly learning how to parallel park. Much to my surprise, the Acura RDX provides all of the tools required to successfully complete this complex and sometimes dangerous (when I’m behind the wheel) task. The vehicle includes a multi-angle rear-view camera along with reverse tilt dual mirrors that provide curb views. I can now parallel park in the city without chagrin – hold onto your curbside parking spots, fellow motorists. Base price: $41,390 Price as tested, Tech edition: $44,390 plus $1995 freight & pdi

Question of the Week Be honest! Do you truly notice cyclists on your daily drive and make allowances to share the road, or do you consider them a nuisance on major routes? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca for the question of the week

Safety Tip: Crashes involving cyclists increase in spring/summer as ridership increases when B.C. weather is dry and warm. Do your part to help share our roads safely. When you’re driving, watch out for cyclists— especially in intersections—and be ready to yield to them.

Audi teaching computers to think like drivers As Audi perfects its autonomous driving technology, it’s using ‘deep learning’ to train computers to imitate the human brain. This breakthrough played a critical role for a recent 885-kilometre autonomous-drive of “Jack,” the Audi A7 Sedan from Silicon Valley to Las Vegas. The deep learning process is at the centre of a drive to produce a commercially available vehicle that can pilot itself to any destination with little human help. Audi is cooperating with such key suppliers as NVIDIA,

the digital-tech company based in Santa Clara, California, to create a vehicle computer the way human brains process new information. To understand the concept, think of the car’s way of learning as being similar to that of child. Caregivers teach a baby to identify things perceived with senses: a circle, a square, colors. Object edges are very important in this process. The edges form meaningful, distinct shapes, which the brain starts to recognize.

The deep learning process is at the centre of a drive to produce a commercially available vehicle that can pilot itself to any destination with little human help.

‘‘

Keith Morgan

A fire truck is red, has a certain shape and wheels, but at first, the baby might think all trucks are fire engines. Then the child learns to differentiate between different kinds of trucks. The car technology enables pixels to be generated by camera images, in a similar way to how the human eyeball transfers images to the brain. The Audi processor, about the size of a tablet PC and powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra processor, analyzes every frame of video that comes in, and it senses edges which it groups into shapes. It learns that the shapes are objects then learns to differentiate those objects. This artificial intelligence enables the Audi processor to detect, for instance, features such as eyes, a nose and mouth, and it figures out that they all fit into a face. It also allows vehicles to detect and identify other vehicles. All of this information goes into a database to foster future advances in such recognition. The system serves as one of the important bases of intelligence for piloted driving. With every kilometre travelled, the car gets smarter. But it takes more than terabytes of such data to make for successful autonomous driving. The data has to be processed very quickly: 30 video frames a second. The information must be transmitted, recognized, processed, analyzed – and provide a reaction – almost instantaneously, in case a driver is encountering dangerous conditions. That’s why one of the most important objectives of deep learning is to ensure that every bit of object recognition is embedded in the processor in the vehicle itself and is not dependent on the internet cloud. Of course, we hope Audi will not incorporate some driver thought processes into this deep learning technique! Story features files from Newspress. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Do The Right Thing

REAL ESTATE UPDATE

Why would you use a Realtor when trying to buy or sell property? This is a question many Realtors themselves do not know how to answer. We, as professionally qualified Top Producing Realtors, have all the answers you need. The right agent will eat, breath, sleep AND dream about Real Estate, and will have the answers you need. We’ve outlined some basics of what you should be looking for and what it means to be in an Agency Relationship. REALTORS® work within a legal relationship called agency. The agency relationship is established through a contract between you, the client, and your agent, the company under which the REALTOR® is licensed. Most REALTORS® use a brochure titled Working with a Real Estate Agent to disclose the nature of the agency relationship with their client. A REALTOR® can act for a seller or a buyer, or to a limited degree, both. Whomever they represent, REALTORS® have a legal obligation to uphold the integrity of their clients, while protecting and promoting their interests.

TOP 1% OF ALL REALTORS

Rene Sandhu Randy Mann 604.307.9537 778.388.6850 www.westcorgroup.com

REALTORS® also commit to: • Protect the client’s negotiating position at all times. • Provide undivided loyalty and keep the confidences of the client. • Adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and a high standard of practice. • Exercise reasonable care and skill in performing all assigned duties. • Be accountable for all money and property placed in the agent’s hands while acting for the client.

Seller’s Agent As a seller, your Realtor’s professional marketing skills and networking connections can help in obtaining the maximum market value for your home. During negotiations, you can rely on your REALTOR® to represent your interests and provide advice on price, possession and closing date. In order for your REALTOR® to list your property for sale on the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®), the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver requires completion of a listing agreement. By signing the listing agreement with you, your REALTOR® has committed to uphold the obligations mentioned above. The listing agreement also states the amount of compensation that the seller will pay the REALTOR®.

Buyer’s Agent The buyer can benefit from agent representation, too. The Realtor’s expert knowledge of the neighbourhood, future development plans, taxes, zoning, transportation, schools, and community services will help you select the property that meets your needs. By combining personal knowledge with research, your REALTOR® will be able to provide a comparison of similar properties and market statistics. Your REALTOR® will also advise you on financing options and make recommendations

of other professionals needed to complete the sale. The contract of purchase and sale is initiated when an offer is made by the buyer to purchase the seller’s property. The contract outlines the terms and conditions of the offer, such as offer price and any subject conditions. The seller may reject the offer or make a counter offer. Once all terms have been accepted and both the seller and the buyer have signed the contract, each party is legally bound to fulfill the conditions of the contract.

Dual Agent Dual agency is created when an agent represents both the buyer and a seller in a single transaction. This can happen if a REALTOR® who is representing a buyer sells one of his or her own listings to that buyer. A dual agent must be impartial to both the buyer and the seller and fully disclose all information pertinent to the transaction. A REALTOR® can be a dual agent only if both the seller and the buyer agree in writing. Remember: always read all contracts and disclosure forms before signing. If you have questions regarding agency relationships contact your REALTOR®.

FRASER VALLEY MARKET UPDATE We are in a sellers’ market when it comes to residential detached homes and more of a balanced, slight buyers’, market where attached/ strata units are concerned. The benchmark price for a detached home is up 6.5% compared to this time last year. The benchmark price for a townhouse is also up, 2% compared to last year and apartments slightly down by 2.8% from last year. There is still low inventory which, coupled with continuously low rates, is fuelling the robust sellers’ market.

Call right away and WestCor Group can help you determine what your home is worth. 604-WESTCOR (937-8267) or email us at westcorgroup@gmail.com
