Second World War veteran Gerry Gaudet, 93, shares his story of a romance that survived separation, loneliness and 58 years. BOAZ JOSEPH
Gaudet was called away to war. He promised to keep writing while away and to marry her as soon as he got back home. He kept both promises. The roughly 300 letters, now in his possession, caught the attention of Langley’s Jennifer Thompson about a year ago. At the time, Gaudet and Thompson’s late father John Thompson received the Légion d’Honneur – France’s highest military award – in Cloverdale from the Consul General of France in Canada. Jennifer Thompson took some mental notes, then got to know Gaudet better after her father passed away last summer. “Irene was just as much a part

of the war as Gerry was,” says Thompson, having sifted through letters that Gaudet wrote to his love “Plum” during the war. He wrote every two or three days, and she wrote back from home, but he wasn’t allowed to keep her letters after reading them. Only his letters to her remain. And because of the two- or three-month delay in the delivery of letters and packages, both Gaudet and Irene knew little of their opposite’s immediate dayto-day situations. Gaudet wasn’t wounded during the war, but he did crash his motorcycle in England in early 1944. He spent two months in hospital.

Kevin Desmond doesn’t yet have a plan to fix TransLink’s battered public image, but says he is up for the challenge and will start by carefully listening to staff and passengers. TransLink’s new CEO from Seattle takes the helm of the embattled transit agency at a time advocates hope will prove a turning point for the better. “I like to climb mountains,” Desmond said Wednesday when asked why he’d want the job. continued on page 5
After mending, he was temporarily transferred to a unit other than his own, the 20th Field Company – engineers attached to the First Canadian Army. He found himself on a barge bound for Juno Beach on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Gaudet did what he could to stay alive for the next month until his 23rd Field Company caught up with him. He spent the rest of the war as a motorcycle dispatch rider, doing reconnaissance, clearing mines, moving and repairing army vehicles, including boats, and building and repairing bridges. continued on page 14

NEW HEAD OF TRANSIT NAMED
152 Street
The night after his wedding day, Gerry Gaudet was behind bars. It was the end of January 1946. After getting married in Medicine Hat, AB, the soldier who had spent two-and-half years in Europe and had just taken a seven-day train ride across the country to finally see his longtime fiancée Irene, reported to his depot in Calgary only to find himself accused of being AWOL. “The MPs came and got me out of the hotel and yanked me by the scruff of the neck and put me in the hoosegow,” says Gaudet, now 93 and widowed. It took some begging the next day, but he was released and had his discharge from the army back-dated. He was a civilian again and free to continue a romance that was to last decades. Gaudet, who now lives in Guildford, first met Irene when he was on duty in Medicine Hat in late 1942. At the time, Gaudet was a member of a Royal Canadian Engineers unit building a prisoner-of-war camp. He and a buddy, both in uniform, met Irene and a girlfriend of hers on the street walking into a restaurant. Gaudet and Irene were smitten, and a romance blossomed before

â–ź NEW CEO ‘VERY CAPABLE’
Eight extra ambulances are being deployed in the province to decrease the wait for emergency assistance, including three in Surrey, two in Langley, two in Abbotsford and one on the North Shore. Thirty-four more paramedics have also been added in the Lower Mainland.
from page 3
The Texas-born and New York-raised general manager of King County’s Metro Transit system is no stranger to the problems and politics here – as well as the strengths. Desmond said Metro Vancouver’s system has been a leader that he and others in Seattle have looked to with admiration and often tried to emulate. “A lot works really well at TransLink,� he said, but added it has “suffered a bruise to its brand.� Desmond vowed to restore public trust and confidence in the system while looking for more ways to make it more effective and efficient. He takes over March 21 and will be the fourth CEO to head TransLink in just over a year since former longtime CEO Ian Jarvis was shuffled aside at the outset of last year’s failed transit tax plebiscite, followed by interim CEOs Doug Allen and Cathy McLay, who continues as chief financial officer. The biggest challenge for Desmond will be convincing the public to support TransLink after the “no� vote in a referendum that was widely regarded as a repudiation of the transit agency, rather than a rejection of the Mayors’ Council plan to create a 0.5-percent sales tax to expand services across the region. Inspiring public confidence hasn’t been easy for the parade of previous CEOs, who have each faced withering attacks from TransLink critics. But Desmond is used to campaigning for public support. He has fought four previous plebiscites in Washington for transit tax increases – winning three and losing one. Desmond skirted questions of what new funding source he’d prefer, nor would he directly answer when asked if he expects to fight another referendum here or came on condition there never be another vote on transit funding. “The region needs to invest in the transit system,� he said. “What the path forward is I don’t know.� Other significant challenges include completing the troubled Compass card project and fulfilling commitments to upgrade the SkyTrain system to make it more resilient to major shutdowns. Desmond said Seattle’s Orca fare card was also slow to roll out but is now one of the best parts of the transit system there. He said he wants to focus on making Compass work rather than criticize how it has been launched to this point. Desmond oversaw King County’s launch of light rail, Peter bus rapid transit lines and Fassbender street car service, while transit ridership grew 44 per cent. The new appointment comes after the release last month of an internal report from former CEO Allen strongly criticizing both the province and area mayors for sometimes undermining TransLink, as well as a lack of focus on increasing transit ridership. The provincial government has so far resisted calls from Metro Vancouver mayors for further major governance changes at TransLink, arguing in part the new CEO will set a new constructive tone and put the organization on the right track. Desmond’s salary will be $365,000 a year – less than Jarvis received and in the middle of the new CEO salary range approved by mayors last fall. He will also get a $1,500 per month housing allowance for the first year only. Minister for TransLink and Surrey-Fleetwood MLA Peter Fassbender said the board has hired “a very capable individual at a salary that is appropriate.�

Ambulance reforms pledged â–ź MORE PARAMEDICS, OTHER CHANGES PROMISED TO SHRINK WAIT TIMES JEFF NAGEL
B.C. is adding eight ambulances and 34 paramedics in the Lower Mainland as a first step as the government promises major reforms to improve substandard emergency response times. The new action plan – unveiled last Friday by B.C. Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) – calls for big changes to how minor emergency calls are handled. More on-the-spot treatment by paramedics or even medical advice by phone is likely rather than the standard practice of an ambulance ride to hospital. “There are still too many patients waiting too long for an ambulance who need one and there are too many patients receiving an ambulance and a transport to an ED (emergency department) that don’t require it,� BCEHS Executive Vice-President Linda Lupini said. Accompanying the plan is an independent review that found it takes an average of 10 minutes and 24 seconds for ambulances to reach life-threatening calls in the Lower Mainland and Greater Victoria. A new target of under nine minutes for 75 per cent of those critical calls is being adopted, in line with international standards. And the review warns population growth and aging will drive up call volumes six per cent a year and push ambulance response times up to more than 15 minutes by 2020 if no improvements are made. The eight extra ambulances that are being deployed include three in Surrey, two in Langley, two in Abbotsford and one on the North Shore. Extra paramedics have also been added in the Tri Cities. But Lupini said that is just an immediate stop gap to relieve pressure, with much more improvement required through a combination of more resources and innovation. Without changes in procedure, she estimated, up to 30 more ambulances would be required by 2020 and at least 10 single responder vehicles. While more money is being requested, much of the planned reforms focus on other methods to speed up ambulance response times to critical calls and to cancel or redirect ambulance trans-

port for less urgent calls that can be handled differently. Lupini said many of those calls “could be dealt with by physicians over the phone or a paramedic seeing and treating a patient without bringing a patient to an emergency room, because that’s what really ties up resources.â€? The top reform priority is to reduce how long paramedics wait in hospital emergency departments to hand over incoming patients so they can get back on the road. Fraser Health hospitals are expected to be at the forefront of making the necessary ER reforms. Faster dispatch and deployment times to get ambulances in service is another strategy. The latest reform plan comes in the wake of ongoing complaints from municipalities and their fire departments of unacceptably long waits for ambulances to arrive and transport non-critical patients. That was the result of a controversial restructuring of the B.C. Ambulance Service priority system that aimed to speed ambulances to life-threatening calls but often slowed it to others. Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis said he’s optimistic about the changes. “It should make it more of an efficient system,â€? he said. Ambulance Paramedics of B.C. president Bronwyn Barter said the review confirms the service is “extremely understaffedâ€? and argued more immediate staff increases are required. But she said there are “a lot of positivesâ€? in the report, including the acknowledgement of the need for more resources and the move to reduce delays at hospitals, which consume 17,000 paramedic hours a year in urban areas. NDP health critic Judy Darcy said the government should have acted sooner in light of years of public outcry. She predicted the plan will leave many people “still falling through the cracksâ€? – and they may include those less acute â–ś “It should cases where a decision is made they don’t need an ambulance make it more response. of an efficient “The devil is going to be in the details,â€? Darcy said. “Triaging system.â€? over the phone is a very different SURREY FIRE CHIEF kettle of fish than triaging when someone presents at an emerLEN GARIS gency room.â€?

Woman found bound, naked with her throat cut ▶ 22-YEAR-OLD MAN ARRESTED AFTER VIOLENT INCIDENT IN NORTH SURREY KEVIN DIAKIW
A woman who was found bound and naked with her throat cut is lucky to be alive thanks to the heroic efforts of a Surrey landlord over the weekend. A 22-year-old man is now facing charges, also due in part to the intervention of landlord Adel Masoud and his family.

Masoud went to the apartment behind his home in the 13400 block of 108 Avenue with his son, and a man inside the noisy unit opened the window and said everything was okay. A few seconds later, Masoud

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION: Do you think B.C.’s Family Day holiday (second Monday of February) should be changed to coincide with other provinces’ Family Day (third Monday of February)? To answer, go to the home page of our website at surreyleader.com
Last week we asked: Do you like the idea of the City of Surrey switching its street lights to LED? Here’s how you responded:
Yes 74% No 26%
Stars align for Surrey LRT There’s a good chance that Mayor Linda Hepner’s campaign promise of Light Rail Transit coming to Surrey will be fulfilled. Hepner initially said during the fall 2014 municipal campaign there would be an LRT line up and running within four years. In other words, in time for the next election. She later backtracked slightly, saying she expected the line would be under construction by 2018. Hepner was given a massive endorsement by voters, with her Surrey First slate winning all nine council seats. Since the election, she was named vice-chair of the Mayors’ Council and, along with chair and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, pushed for a “yes” vote in a referendum on additional funding for TransLink. That of course failed, at least partially because of over-the-top spending by TransLink and local governments to try and ensure a positive outcome. However, since that time, the federal Liberals won a majority government, winning all but one seat in Surrey. That’s put Surrey’s LRT line high on the list for infrastructure funding. The Justin Trudeau government wants to build projects that will create jobs and promote a greener agenda. Electric-powered rapid transit fulfills both objectives. Hepner was among a number of mayors from all over the
country, members of the big city mayors’ caucus, to meet with Trudeau and other federal representatives in Ottawa last week. There has been some interesting discussion about this latest round of infrastructure spending in a number of forums. Many observers are suggesting that municipalities should not have to pay their traditional one-third share of the capital costs of such projects. There is a good argument to be made in that direction. Municipalities have limited sources of revenue, with property tax being the main one. TransLink, which is in effect an inter-municipal body, has suffered tremendously from the limited sources of funding available to it. Its quest for more funds has been repeatedly fought by the public, most notably in the recent referendum. One reason that TransLink can’t expand bus routes in a significant way in growing cities such as Surrey is the pressure it is under from capital spending. It boosted the gas tax to help pay for the Evergreen Line project, which is still under construction. Its inability to take on more capital projects is one reason the Pattullo Bridge replacement project is nowhere close to getting off the drawing board. If Surrey or regional taxpay-
ers only had to pay 10 per cent towards the capital costs of the LRT line, that would make it much more likely to proceed. It would be difficult to finance a one-third share of the cost through property taxes or other new taxes, such as the sales tax increase rejected by voters in the TransLink referendum. The challenge of capital costs is one of the main reasons that Surrey has pushed for LRT, as opposed to an expansion of SkyTrain. LRT, because it is at-grade, is cheaper to build. The many critics of the Surrey LRT plans point out that travel times won’t be much different that they are now, via bus and car. They are correct. However, unless the federal and/or provincial governments begin to pick up a larger share of the capital costs of the transit projects, it is unlikely that they will be built anytime soon. Hepner has to be happy with how the planets have aligned for LRT. It seems very likely that the construction work for at least the first phase – the line along King George Boulevard and 104 Avenue – will be underway in time for the next election. That should give her some ammunition for a re-election bid in 2018.

Protesters fear peace in the forests BC VIEWS ▼ Tom Fletcher
After 20 years of representing B.C. coastal First Nations to negotiate what U.S.-directed activists labelled the Great Bear Rainforest agreement, a weary Dallas Smith expressed his relief and frustration. At a ceremony to sign the final agreement in Vancouver last week, Smith, president of the Nanwakolas Council of remote Central Coast communities like Bella Bella, joked that he’s finally out of a job. Then he got serious. “My communities still aren’t better places to live yet,” he said. But the land use agreement with the province and forest companies over a vast coastal area up to the Alaska border means the years ahead will be better. He said when he started it was like being caught in a divorce between the B.C. forest industry and international environmental groups. Dutch-based Greenpeace,
its California offshoot ForestEthics and others moved on from their Clayoquot Sound battle to the B.C. coast, looking to continue the blockades against logging. “It’s the First Nations of the Coast who stood up and said ‘no, this is how it’s going to work’,” Smith said. How it’s going to work is that logging will continue on 550,000 hectares of coastal forest, with a greater share for First Nations, and with 85 per cent of the region preserved. Formally begun 10 years ago with $30 million from Ottawa, $30 million from B.C. and $60 million from a group of wealthy U.S. family foundations with a larger anti-development agenda, the land use plan remains under attack. Among the many protest outfits is Pacific Wild, which has specialized in Great Bear Rainforest campaigns and now needs a new enemy. Their credibility
was demonstrated recently when U.S. pop star Miley Cyrus decided to speak out against B.C.’s wolf kill. Cyrus had no idea about the struggle to preserve dwindling herds of mountain caribou. She barely knows where B.C. is, a fact made plain when Pacific Wild toured her around the North Coast, far from the Kootenay and South Peace regions where the wolves actually roam. Cyrus’s handlers spoon-fed statements to urban media, which played down the fact she was at the wrong end of the province spouting nonsense. After periodically attacking their own B.C. agreement as inadequate, Greenpeace and ForestEthics have moved on to what they call the “boreal forest,” which we like to call northern Canada. The same bully tactics with forest products customers and producers
have been featured. This time, a Quebec company that signed an accord in 2010 is suing Greenpeace for “defamation, malicious falsehood and intentional interference in economic relations.” Aboriginal companies on the B.C. coast will continue to log, including areas of old-growth forest and secondary growth. They will continue to export logs as economics dictate. They will continue to harvest animals, including grizzly bears. And, I expect, they will continue to be subjected to attempts to supervise and direct them by members of urban society’s new religion, environmentalism. The leaders of this movement don’t like peace. It’s bad for their business. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Fraud in the eye of the beholder ▼ IS ICBC AN EMPTY BOX WHEN IT COMES TO LEGITIMATE INJURY CLAIMS? Re: “ICBC takes aim at scam artists,” The Leader, Jan. 27. The most widespread auto insurance fraud by far in this province is carried out by ICBC every time it denies or reduces a legitimate injury claim. The first “fraudster” listed in this article, a guy who lifted a heavy box at work but claimed he couldn’t help his wife do dishes, is a great example. Most anyone with any number of injuries is still capable of lifting heavy objects, though it may cause her or him great pain and even aggravate the injury. At home it’s a great excuse to get out of doing dishes. At work you could be fired if you
don’t grit your teeth and do so. The Workers’ Compensation Board used to advertise extensively that it was good to be active and work through the pain after an injury. Anyone “caught” by ICBC’s spies lifting heavy objects is doing what we are all told we need to do to recover. It’s not proof of anything. It’s wrong for ICBC to avoid doing what we pay them to do: provide for those who are injured. It’s a crime for a store that sells you an appliance to deliver an empty box. A legitimate claim denied or under-compensated by ICBC – whether to keep rates lower, fund the vast army of employees dedicated to keeping us from compensation, keep its many senior managers’ nests well feathered, or fund investments elsewhere – is just such an empty box.

▼ FATHERS BRING SOMETHING SPECIAL TO THE FAMILY Dads of the past were often seen as a part of, but distant from, the family proper. However things are changing – and for the better. With the Family Day holiday fresh in our minds, it’s interesting to note that fathers not only want to spend equal time with their children, but when they do, it improves the health of the kids, mother and father. Studies show more than two out of three fathers say that caregiving for their children should be a 50/50 proposition and they wanted to evenly divide this responsibility with their partners. Furthermore, 80 per cent of fathers preferred quality family time over other quality down time. Fathers are more than a nice, supportive add-on to the family system. Fathers matter. They bring a special way of nurturing and bonding that must be encouraged and affirmed for the benefit of the women, children and even men themselves.

B.C. Provincial Court judge to stand trial for the murder. Raymond Caissie is charged with second-degree murder in connection with Serena Vermeersch’s death on Sept. 15, 2014. The teen’s body was discovered a day later, after she was reported missing, in an area near 66 Avenue and 146 Street. Caissie was arrested four days later in Vancouver. His arrest sparked outrage as he had been released from prison the year prior after serving a lengthy sentence for a violent sexual assault. B.C. Corrections issued a warning upon his release because he was considered at high risk to Serena re-offend. Vermeersch A Surrey judge determined there was sufficient evidence for Caissie to proceed to trial for Vermeersch’s murder following a preliminary hearing that concluded last Friday (Feb. 5). Evidence from preliminary hearings is subject to a publication ban and can not be published. Caissie’s next court date is April 28.

Lovers fall prey to scam artists A Valentine’s scam making the rounds in Surrey is the “fake flowers” fraud. A delivery company shows up at the victim’s door with a gift basket of flowers, chocolates and wine. The “delivery person” notes a card is being sent separately and explains a small surcharge is required to prove the basket wasn’t delivered to a minor. The victim hands over their credit card (cash is not permitted) to the “delivery man,” who then swipes the victim’s personal info using a modified card reader. If you are the victim of a fraud, contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

ters to Irene while he was away. Thompson says he’s an example of how love can be deeper than what contemporary romance is made out to be, especially around Valentine’s Day. “Take if from an expert,” she advises. Both Gaudet and fellow veteran and Légion d’Honneur recipient John Thompson were widowed years ago. Both of their romances lasted 58 years.
What makes love last? According to veteran Gerry Gaudet, it’s appreciating the simple things. His friend, Jennifer Thompson, shares some of Gaudet’s insights from the memoir she is writing: As he survived the battles of the Second World War, with the support of his beloved “Plum,” also known as Irene from his letters, there was a combina-
tion of things that kept love alive. The couple’s story is about a journey – two people who dared to be real and openly honest. A couple who shaped a relationship that was years in the making and recorded in numerous letters Gerry sent home. “Plum you can never imagine how much I love you! Darling if I can only have you, so I could call you mine, I would be the happiest boy in the world. “Remember Plum, I will always love you. Remind me Plum, how you felt the first time we kissed. Could you dear remind me in your next letter?” Gerry didn’t reveal his hands were still shaking as he wrote this, not mentioning the human guile of war that he has just witnessed. What makes love last? A combination of commitment, understanding and friendship. A solid relationship followed by a marriage contract. Two people who
share a promise and dare to be honest and raw. Living on a dream for the future. Enduring the temptations of loneliness. During the Second World war, for more than three long years, Gerry waited to return to “The Hat,” the small town where he and his Plum first kissed and made their promise to each other. For Gerry, was it love at first sight? Probably. Irene was the only woman he completely loved. He met her as a boy and returned as a man. Would she still want him? Plum was tired and done paying ransom to the wicked war. Now, after three long years, she needed his word. His commitment. For 58 years following Gerry’s return, they would celebrate, as Gerry says, the simple things in life. Every day. Each other’s smile. Holding hands. A hot cup of coffee and a donut. And most of all, the freedom to love. This proved to be enough. -Jennifer Thompson

▶ REALTORS, MIDDLE MEN ACCUSED OF HOME-BUYING VIOLATIONS JEFF NAGEL
An investigation has been ordered into allegations some Vancouver-area real estate agents and allied speculators engage in so-called “shadow flipping,” where they insert themselves as middle men in property deals to exploit local sellers and offshore buyers.
B.C. Superintendent of Real Estate Carolyn Rogers is to work with an advisory committee of the Real Estate Council of B.C. to tackle the issue. Contract assignments are legally allowed where the supposed home buyer doesn’t actually close the deal but sells the contract on to someone else. Standard assignment clauses can be invoked when a buyer is unable to close but finds another buyer rather than break the deal. But realtors who are aware of or party

Some real estate agents are being accused of using questionable tactics to exploit local sellers and offshore buyers. LEADER FILE to a scheme to re-sell contracts without the knowledge of the seller and ultimate buyer may be in violation of their duty to act in their clients’ best interest. “We are deeply concerned,” the Real Estate Council of B.C. said in a statement that described its response as “an urgent matter.” It said the committee will probe whether assignment clauses are being used appropriately and make recommendations within 60 days on ways to boost enforcement and oversight of licensees that fail to disclose their investment in properties. The real estate council is also urging anyone affected by the practice to come forward so it can investigate and discipline any agents found in breach of their legislated duties. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said it was “troubling” that some realtors are alleged to have not acted in the best interests of the sellers to get the best possible price. “If there is evidence of a trend developing where that is not taking place, where realtors are not disclosing for example their personal interest in a transaction, that is fundamentally wrong,” de Jong said. NDP housing critic David Eby has called for a more formal independent inquiry, adding the real estate council declined to investigate after he sent two letters in January outlining his concerns around contract assignments. Eby said the practices of some realtors appear to involve fraud, insider trading, tax avoidance and the
dodging of federal disclosure rules to control international money laundering. De Jong said he will await the findings of the real estate council, as the professional governing body, but added the government could take further action if it’s unsatisfied with the outcome. “Realtors are privileged to be part of a self-regulating profession, and that is a privilege.” The practice of realtors or proxies using assignments to profit from the gap between typical local selling prices and what can be extracted from Chinese buyers unfamiliar with the market was reported on the weekend by the Globe and Mail newspaper. The middle men can quickly profit – to the tune of $500,000 in one example – without paying Property Transfer Tax because that’s only due from the final buyer when title actually transfers. Realtors stand to make additional commissions when a home is shadow flipped – sometimes multiple times during a long closing period – between the seller and final buyer. Critics say the activity adds more fuel to an already overheated real estate market in Vancouver and some suburbs. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson said the existing tools to control property speculation are “woefully inadequate” and reiterated his calls for action from the province. “We cannot have housing treated as just a commodity,” Robertson said. The province is expected to take further steps to address real estate market concerns
when it hands down the budget later this month. Tsur Sommerville, professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business, said he doubts assignment flipping is a major force propelling the hot market, but more a symptom of it. He noted speculative flipping of assignments was common in the pre-sale condo market several years ago when condo prices were rising fast. “The primary cause is prices are going up really quickly and sellers don’t know what their property is worth,” Sommerville said of the emergence of assignment resales in the detached house market. It’s unclear how much shadow flipping is happening, he said, but added the losers include the original sellers who could have got more, the ultimate buyer who overpays, governments who may lose out on taxes, and society in general if trust is lost in the system. “I think it’s important to take action on this,” Sommerville said. “It’s imperative that the real estate industry address issues that raise concerns about the ethical behaviour of their agents. A feeling that the property market is rigged I don’t think is a healthy thing.” He said potential reforms could include requirements to register assignments, to charge Property Transfer Tax when they’re traded and to also charge the transfer tax on companies that hold property but currently can be traded without incurring the tax. – with files from Tom Fletcher

HOME BUYING OPTIONS â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the simplest reasons for a subject to sale is that it gives the family or individual the chance to move out of their old house and into their new one without the need to rent elsewhere.â&#x20AC;?
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Low inventory and a low Canadian dollar making a sellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market
Renting or renting back may be a buying option Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a common question that can feel like a housing market merry-goround: do you sell your home before you buy, or do you buy your new home before you sell? January was the hottest month on record â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at least for the real estate market. According to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, sales were up a whopping 57 percent over January 2015, and while it can be a lucrative opportunity as a seller, it leaves many buyers scrambling to find a suitable home. Louise McKnight, Associate Broker/ Partner at Bay Realty Ltd further explains how low inventory and a low Canadian dollar are contributing to a sellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market. The low dollar, she says, is motivating the Chinese investor to purchase real estate, while multiple offers has become commonplace. In a balanced market or a â&#x20AC;&#x153;buyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; marketâ&#x20AC;? a subject to sale agreement is fairly common practise. This clause allows buyers to purchase their new home, subject to their current home selling by a certain date. However, in a â&#x20AC;&#x153;sellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market,â&#x20AC;? which the market is currently considered, it would be rare to have a subject to sale accepted. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because, as McKnight explains, many sellers are presented with multiple offers on their home and will opt for the sure sale rather than a subject sale.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;[The market] is very, very, active, subject to sale is that it gives the almost to the overheated category,â&#x20AC;? family or individual the chance to says Michael Trites, Managing Bromove out of their old house and into ker/Sales Associate at Royal LePage their new one without the need to Northstar Realty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Selling over the rent elsewhere. listed price is more the norm rather If buyers find themselves without the than the exception, and at prices that subject to sale option, the question are sometimes difficult to remains: do you rent back rationalize.â&#x20AC;? from the new owners of Matt Morrow, Realtor at your home until you find RE/MAX 2000 Realty, something? agrees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That is happening quite â&#x20AC;&#x153;I've been a realtor for 10 regularly [and] it seems years and although I've to be a win-win if done been through some crazy properly,â&#x20AC;? says Trites. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It markets, I haven't experican be a term of the Contract of Purchase and Sale, enced anything quite like or a separate rental agreethis,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The market Louise McKnight ment can be prepared.â&#x20AC;? is being fuelled by an all Associate Broker/Partner at As for what to do with all time low level of inventoBay Realty Ltd. of your â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuff,â&#x20AC;? while you ry, low interest rates, and make the move?

of advice is to consider lightening your â&#x20AC;&#x153;needs listâ&#x20AC;? and just get back into the market. â&#x20AC;&#x153;[Maintain] constant communication with your Realtor,â&#x20AC;? he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and be ready to jump both feet in.â&#x20AC;?

Local curlers chase a B.C. title
▶ SUPERHEART IN SURREY Ranvir Otwal of the Surrey Falcons fights for the puck against a pair of Tri-Cities Predators opponents during an Atom C game last Friday at the Superheart tournament at the Surrey Sports and Leisure Centre. The Surrey Female Hockey Association hosted its annual Superheart tournament Friday through Sunday, with 39 teams from throughout B.C., as well as teams from Washington and Ontario competing in seven categories. The host association fared well on the ice, qualifying teams for championship games in five categories, winning once. The Surrey Falcons won the Pee Wee A (11-12 year-olds) championship game 3-1 over the North Shore Avalanche. Falcons teams lost both championship games in the Atom (9-10) division to North Shore, with the Avalanche winning the Tier 1 final 3-2 in a shootout and taking the gold medal in Tier 2 with a 4-1 win. The Tri-Cities Predators edged Surrey 3-2 in the Bantam A (13-14) division, while the Falcons fell 4-3 to the Western Washington Wildcats in the Bantam C final. GORD GOBLE

Hawks sweep Rockets to remain in first ▶ VALLEY WEST TIED WITH CARIBOO COUGARS FOR TOP SPOT RICK KUPCHUK
The Valley West Hawks continued their march to a BC Hockey Major Midget League (MML) pennant, winning two home games
against the fourth-place Okanagan Rockets last weekend. The Hawks topped Okanagan 4-1 Saturday night at the Sungod Arena, then toppled the Rockets 5-2 Sunday morning at the Langley Events Centre. Valley West has now won 15 of their last 16 games, and with a 27-6-1 (win-loss-tie) record are tied for top spot with the
Cariboo Cougars. The Hawks have six games remaining on the schedule, all against teams with records at or below .500. The Cougars play just four more games, all on the road against the Rockets and the thirdplace Vancouver Giants. Saturday’s game marked the only time the Hawks will play at Sungod, which was the home rink for a number

of Valley West skaters in recent years. “Saturday was a weird game. Playing our first game at North Delta’s Sungod Arena brought a different energy to our squad,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “We have four players that got their start with North Delta Minor Hockey and you had a sense that they were anxious to show their best.” Goaltender Nic Tallarico kept the Hawks in the game, making 32 saves. Colten Gerlib gave Valley West a 1-0 lead midway through the first period, and the Hawks maintained that advantage into the third period despite the Rockets having the edge in play. “Tally (Talarico) played maybe his best game of the season,” said Leung. “We were flat for most of the second period and he bailed us out.” Okanagan tied the game early in the third period, but the Hawks took control over the final 10 minutes of
James Malm of the Valley West Hawks had a hat trick in a 5-2 win Sunday over the Okanagan Rockets in Langley. BOAZ JOSEPH play. Justyn Gurney of North Delta netted the winning goal, Ian Ross added an insurance tally and Ben Evanish scored his league-leading 33rd
goal of the season into an empty net. The Hawks got the jump on the Rockets Sunday morning, taking a 2-0 lead after 20 min-
utes and never looking back. James Malm of Langley had a hat trick, with Max Duchnycz and Michael Farren adding a goal each. Christian Bosa, Ian Ross and Olover Alcock each were credited with a pair of assists. Reece Klassen played a strong game in the Hawks net. Valley West will now play twice against the seventh-place Vancouver Chiefs next weekend, looking to put some distance between themselves and Cariboo. “Looking at the standings, it would be easy to say we’re into a lighter part of our schedule,” said Leung. “However, it is a challenge of a different sort. We expect a good series from the Chiefs, they’re coming off their bye week and are fighting for seeding down the stretch.” The Chiefs will host the first game Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in Coquitlam, with the Hawks being the home team Monday night at 8:15 p.m.

Mostat nets three for Eagles in BCHL debut ▶ JUNIOR A TEAM SPLITS IN PRINCE GEORGE, LOSES AT HOME TO COQUITLAM NICK GREENIZAN
Logan Mostat picked a perfect time to score his first-ever BC Hockey League goal. His first three goals, in fact. Six minutes into the third period of the Surrey Eagles’ road game against the Prince George Spruce Kings Saturday night, the 18-year-old BCHL rookie – who joined the Surrey Eagles earlier this season from the Junior B Chase Heat of the Kooteney International Junior League – scored the winning goal to give the Birds a 4-3 win. “Logan has really been putting in the work so it’s nice to see a guy like that get rewarded,” said Eagles coach Blaine Neufeld. “It was a good way to cap off the road trip. It makes for a much better drive home from Prince George when you can get a win. “We kind of had the ‘bus legs’ for Friday’s game, but I really thought Saturday was
a good response.” The goal gave the Eagles just their seventh win of the season, and though they were not able to duplicate the feat for the rest of the weekend – on Friday, Surrey began the weekend with a 9-3 loss to the Spruce Kings, and also dropped a Family Day matinee to the Coquitlam Express – Mostat again did his part. After getting his first one out of the way Saturday, Mostat – a Salmon Arm resident – scored twice more Monday, in a 7-3 losing effort to the Express at South Surrey Arena. Mostat’s played 11 games for the Eagles this season, scoring three goals and adding three assists. He has also played nine games with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks dating back to the 2013 season, but had yet to record a point. Mostat wasn’t the only Eagles’ rookie to shine in Saturday’s victory. Gage Mackie – a native of Anchorage, Alaska who will play for Arizona State in 2017 – led the team offensively with a pair of goals en route to first-star honours, and defenceman Nick

a fair bit, but we’ve got to start learning the difference between a scoring chance and just putting a shot on net. There’s a difference between an outside shot and a real scoring chance, and it takes a lot of effort to get to those scoring areas,” Neufeld said. The Eagles – who were officially eliminated from BCHL playoff contention three weeks ago – now sit with a record of 7-40-0-2 (win-lossovertime loss-tie).
Prior to the team’s road trip to Prince George, Neufeld told Black Press his team’s goal was to win at least five of their remaining 11 games. Surrey will need to win four of its final eight to achieve that goal. They hosted the Langley Rivermen last night (Thursday) after press deadline, and will get another chance to get into the win column Sunday afternoon, when they host the Wenatchee Wild.
“We’ve played some good games against them this year – we led 2-1 against them until late, the last time we played, so there are some things we’d like to clean up, but I think it’ll be a good game,” Neufeld said. “As well, we’ve got two guys – Gage Mackie and Donovan Ott – who were formerly part of that (Wenatchee) organization, so you always have a bit of an extra edge in a situation like that.”

24 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday Februar y 12 2016
New blood donors needed for 2016 most critical situations: for neonates; patients with compromised immune systems; and for trauma victims. When seconds count, someone’s life is
on the line, and there’s no time to check blood type, hospital patients in an emergency situation can all receive O-negative blood. Across the country, an estimated seven per cent of Canadians have O-negative blood, but this blood type represents close to 12 per cent of all units sent to hospitals. Only about 41,000 of our current 410,000 active donors are O-negative. Canadian Blood Services is striving to increase the existing pool of O-negative donors to 50,000. If you know your blood type is O-negative, book an appointment to donate as soon as possible at blood.ca. Chances are someone in your family also has O-negative blood. Encourage them to book with you. Those who are unsure what their blood type is and want to help can book an appointment to donate blood, and you’ll receive a donor card confirming your blood type in the mail after your donation. Alternatively, you can attend a “What’s Your Type” event hosted by Canadian Blood Services. You can find an event near you by visiting blood.ca Also stay tuned for a fun new peer-to-peer initiative rolling out in February that Canadian Blood Services hopes will inspire and challenge more Canadians to donate blood and give life. To be eligible to donate you must be at least 17 years of age, in general good health and feeling well on the day of your donation. Individuals are encouraged to bring a friend or family member to donate with them and to please remember to make another appointment to donate. Surrey area residents can donate blood at the Surrey Blood Donor Clinic, 15285 101 Ave., which is open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 1-7 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Saving lives in 2016 begins with a click of a button. To discover all the ways you can help save a life and to book an appointment, download the GiveBlood app or visit blood.ca

James William Jim passed away peacefully on January 11, 2016 in Langley, BC. He was born in Ft. McLeod, AB on May 22, 1928. The family migrated to the Lower Mainland shortly after, where Jim resided for the remainder of his life. He is predeceased by his parents, James Ewen and Erna Angela McRae, sister, Alix McRae Robinson and niece, Shelley Corinne Walker. He is survived by nieces, Carol Leigh Robinson and Teresa Gail Robinson and nephew, Stephen Glen Robinson. Jim developed a love for both airplanes and fast cars early in his life. He was a long standing member of the Sports Car Club of BC going back to the late 1950’s. He was well known at both Westwood “Mile High” Motorsports Park and then later at the Mission “Rivers Edge” Raceway. Jim was also a founding member of the Motorsport Emergency Turnworkers Assoc which has promoted safety in BC Motorsports for over 40 years. Jim finally realized his dream of owning an airplane when he purchased his Aeronca Champ in the 1970’s and when he was not out chasing race cars he would be seen flying the skies far and wide even to Oshkosh, WI. In 2010 Jim was inducted into the Greater Vancouver Motorsport Pioneer Society in recognition of his many years of volunteer work. He will be sorrowfully missed.

WITNESS WANTED. Did you witness a motor vehicle accident on Halloween (OCTOBER 31, 2015) at the intersection of 140th Street and 80th Avenue, Surrey B.C between the hours of 7-8PM. Our client was driving a white Nissan Rogue northbound on 140th Street and had come to a stop at 80th Avenue when she was rear-ended by a white Toyota Corolla. The Toyota Corolla was hit by a small white vehicle (the “Hit and Run Vehicle”) driven by an East Indian woman estimated to be between 35-40 years of age. The driver of the Hit and Run vehicle initially stopped and got out of her car, but then left the scene. If you have any information about the above motor vehicle accident or know who the driver of the Hit and Run Vehicle might be please call Skands Law Corporation at 604.575.7880. OR email: investigations@skandslaw.com
