From the editor

Welcome to your new and improved ‘Now’ Y Editor’sDesk Beau Simpson Editor

Our updated look reflects the modern world of journalism

ou may have already noticed something different about today’s issue of the Now. As our community’s most-read newspaper, we wanted to update our look and bring it in line with the new, modern, everchanging world of journalism.

Our new look reflects this new world in several ways.

Our redesign gives us a fresh, more modern look, using fonts that are sharper and more easier to read. Our new look is also designed to let stories and photos “breathe” more on the page, utilizing white space to make the Now a more pleasurable read for you.

Also, you may notice that underneath staff reporters’ names at the top of stories, you will find the reporters’ Twitter addresses.

This new aspect of our redesign reflects the new world we live in – you can now follow our

reporters on Twitter to keep up to date with the news in your community – in real time.

We have also tweaked our sections to improve both our Tuesday and Thursday papers.

We have removed our Living section from Tuesday’s paper and will merge it with Thursday’s What’s On section, resulting in an exciting new section called Arts & Life that will be jam-packed with interesting articles and columns that range from parenting to food, to the latest in concert news.

This change will also open up our Tuesday paper to allow for more community news, including more stories from North Delta and White Rock (improving our coverage in these areas is something we remain committed to).

Through all these changes, though, we remain focused on our main objective

– to continue to be your No.1 community newspaper and website.

And that, dear readers, will never change.

So, enjoy your new Now. Feel free to email me at bsimpson@thenownewspaper.com to tell me what you think about our new look or to pass along your ideas and suggestions.

Dad and son OK after being shot in Surrey

Teen charged with Szendrei murder faces judge in April

SURREY – Surrey Mounties are trying to sort out a shooting in Newton early Monday morning that sent a father and son to hospital.

Police say the father, 47, was shot in his arm and his son, 23, in the hand. It happened at about 2 a.m., in the 12400block of 74th Avenue. Police believe the shots came from the same handgun, but had no suspect at press time.

The shooting happened after the son came home from a late night out, police say.

Foundry worker killed in Port Kells SURREY – A Surrey foundry worker died in Port Kells Friday afternoon during what appears to have been a freak accident.

Fellow workers at Highland Foundry at 9670 187th St. heard a loud noise and found the 48-year-old man, whose name has not been released, lying on the ground.

He’d apparently been working on a grinder when a piece of metal hit him in the heart. WorkSafeBC and the BC Coroner Service are investigating.

Young man sought after brutal beating DELTA – Delta Police are looking for a young man who laid a horrible beating on another man behind Scottsdale Centre on Thursday afternoon.

The suspect is white, about 19, five feet 10 inches tall and had sideburns and chin stubble.

He was wearing a white jacket, grey pants and a white ball cap worn backwards.

The assault happened at about 3 p.m., in the 7000-block of Scott Road behind the mall.

The victim, 19, said a stranger started punching and kicking him, cutting up his face and knocked out some teeth.

A passerby yelled at him, and he casually walked away west on Caribou Road, away from the mall. Police ask anyone with information to call them at 604-946-4411.

Hundreds help reopen Robson Park SURREY – More than 600 people turned out Saturday to mark the reopening of North Surrey’s Robson Park.

The city began work in 2009 on enhancements to Robson Creek to provide better salmon habitat, along with drainage improvements and upgraded

recreational facilities in the park in the 12500-block of 100th Avenue.

Improvements include a new sports field, paved walking trails, more parking and a new playground with a rubberized surface made from recycled tires.

Saturday’s party included live music, a

barbeque, a bouncy castle, kite making, face painting and prize giveaways.

The day wrapped up with the release of almost 5,000 chum salmon fry raised at the Tynehead hatchery into Robson Creek. See more photos online at thenownewspaper.com The Now

SURREY – The North Delta teen charged with first-degree murder in the beating death of 15-year-old Laura Szendrei will have his preliminary hearing next April and May in Surrey provincial court.

The hearing is set for 14 days, to begin April 10. His next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 27, for a pre-trial conference.

He remains in custody.

The accused was 17 years old when Szendrei was killed, so it is illegal to publish his name under the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Szendrei died in hospital on Sept. 26, a day after she was viciously beaten in broad daylight while walking along a path in the Mackie Park forest, in the 8200-block of 110th Street in North Delta.

The Crown plans to seek an adult sentence if the accused is found guilty.

That would work out to life without eligibility to apply for parole until 25 years are served.

Fishermen fined for protest B.C. Conservative Party leader ‘proud’ to be among those who challenged race-based fishing policy Tom Zytaruk

STAFF REPORTER twitter@tomzytaruk

SURREY – Eighty-seven commercial fishermen have been fined $200 or more each for dropping their nets in protest against an aboriginal-only fishery on the Fraser River back in August 2002.

Judge Michael Hicks presided over the mass sentencing Monday in Surrey provincial court, after all appeals were exhausted.

The accused – three women among them – were fined $200 each as first offenders, and $300 if they had a prior conviction for participating in similar protests.

John Cummins, who recently retired from federal politics as Tory MP for Delta-Richmond East to lead the provincial B.C. Conservative Party, was one of the fishermen hit with a $300 fine.

“These people that are charged today, in my view, are some of the finest Canadians that you’re going to

find anywhere and I’m really proud to be part of that group, to be standing in that courtroom and face the music with them,” Cummins said outside court.

“It’s government policy, it’s not legislation that allows for this. I still think that it’s wrong and it can be changed and it should be changed.”

These are respectable hard-working Canadians who just wanted to be treated fairly.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has subsequently launched a judicial inquiry of the race-based fishing policy. The inquiry is still underway with recommendations expected to be released in October.

Nine years ago, Cummins’ boat was among roughly

200 vessels involved in three separate protests in August, 2002, held on the Fraser from Steveston Harbour to Barnston Island, after the Department of Fisheries and Oceans opened a commercial fishery on the Lower Fraser for members of the Musqueam and Tsawwassen First Nations, to the exclusion of other Canadians. Those who fished in protest were charged, all told, with 132 counts under the Fisheries Act. Phil Eidsvik, who ran unsuccessfully as a Tory MP candidate in Newton-North Delta during the 2005 election, was not among those convicted but served as their representative in court Monday.

“The purpose of the protest was to bring in a constitutional challenge,” he said. “These are respectable hard-working Canadians who just wanted to be treated fairly.”

Gary Sonnenberg, a 47-year-old gillnetter, was one of those in court. Would he do it again?

“Effin rights,” he replied. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Keeping’s strong finish whets political appetite Ted Colley

STAFF REPORTER twitter@tedcolley

SURREY – It was her first campaign as a candidate and the experience has left her eager to go again.

After 20 years in the non-profit sector, Susan Keeping stepped down from her post as executive director of the Newton Advocacy Group Society to run in the May 2 federal election and she liked it. A lot.

She ran on the NDP ticket in South SurreyWhite Rock-Cloverdale, a riding held by Conservatives of one stripe or another since 1974. Keeping has worked on campaigns before, but never as the name on the ballot.

She was up against Conservative incumbent Russ Hiebert who has held the seat since 2004.

Some people say the riding is so staunchly and abidingly Conservative the party could run a broom and win, but there’s no denying Hiebert’s winning ways. He’s run four times and increased his share of the vote every time.

Tradition has seen a Conservative come out on top, followed in second place by a Liberal and with the NDP candidate running a distant third.

e Centr

Stage

AR T S T GUES

Not this time.

Keeping inherited an experienced campaign crew; some members have been around for more than a couple of elections. Keeping was a breath of fresh air. “l had to get my team fired up,” she said. “I told them ‘I’m all the way, I’m in it to win.’ They kind of said, ‘Aren’t you cute,’ but I meant it.”

Keeping said she and her crew targetted people who don’t usually vote and took advantage of the provincial party leadership race to double the riding membership.

In what became a very negative campaign featuring dogged attacks on Hiebert from Liberal Hardy Staub and Independent Aart Looye, Keeping took the high road.

“The most surprising thing to me was the debates and the candidates’ performance, the things they said. It got pretty rough sometimes.”

In her mind, the candidates could compete with one another, disagree strongly, but still remain civil.

Keeping decided to focus on issues, to work at getting her party’s message out to the voters and to leave the rough stuff to others and it paid off.

When the dust settled on election night,

She put in a good showing as an NDP candidate in the recent federal election and now former Newton Advocacy Group executive director Susan Keeping has her eye on the provincial political arena. (Photo: Ted Colley)

Keeping finished in second spot behind Hiebert with a little over 20 per cent of the vote, the NDP’s strongest finish in the riding in years.

Keeping knows the spike in popularity of the NDP and leader Jack Layton helped, but also thinks she played a part in her strong finish.

That’s just whet her appetite for more. Keeping said the Surrey Civic Coalition was interested in

having her on their municipal slate in November, but she’s got her eye on bigger fish.

“I think (Surrey Mayor) Dianne Watts is doing a good job, so I don’t see doing much there. I’m going to put my name up provincially. I’d be willing to run in my riding (Surrey-White Rock), but that’s up to the party to decide.” tcolley@thenownewspaper.com

SURREY – The family of Surrey murder victim Christopher Roy Whitmee is marking the second anniversary of his slaying by offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of his killer.

Whitmee, 34, was shot dead at the Legacy Show Lounge in Cloverdale on the night of May 16, 2009.

Police do not believe he was the intended target. On Saturday, his 11-year-old daughter Lexus Burkholder-Whitmee and her mom Heather Burkholder began posting flyers in their renewed campaign.

“Our goal is that someone sees the flyer and it refreshes a memory from that terrible incident two years ago and then reports it to police,” Heather Burkholder said.

Police believe the shooting may have been linked to drugs and gangs.

Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, added that they think they know who the shooter was trying to

hit but won’t release the name.

Whitmee was in the lounge at about 11 p.m. when he was shot. A man in his early 20s then ran out through a rear door and into an alley.

Minutes later, there was a hit-and-run crash at Highway 10 and 176th Street that police suspect might be connected to the shooting. They are looking for witnesses to both the shooting and subsequent collision.

“We are hopeful that someone that fled from the show lounge has had a change of heart and is now ready to come forward to tell us what they saw,” Carr said.

“You never know, it may be the piece that puts it all together.

“Often times people don’t approach police in the first instance after a serious crime like homicide,” Carr noted. “We have experienced that when we make a plea to the public it triggers something that causes people to have a change of heart and they decide to come forward to police.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Package Includes:

✓ Motorcraft premium oil and filter change ✓ Tire rotation and inspection ✓ Up to 87-point inspection, including air filter (clogged air filter reduces fuel economy), belts, hoses, air conditioning, steering and suspension components ✓ Battery test and report ✓ Fill windshield washer fluid

Politics

Political scene takes a breather, so let’s start the speculation InTheHouse Keith Baldrey

S

ome idle musings, informed speculation and complete guesswork as the political scene takes a bit of a breather after two leadership races, one election and one big by-election: • They are both glass-halffull types, I guess: Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix were crowing with glee after last week’s by-election result. Clark won, of course, by a fairly narrow margin and became the first government candidate to win a by-election in 30 years.

But I suspect she wasn’t expecting such a close result when she initially set the byelection date, and I can tell you there was a lot of nervousness at her campaign headquarters as the votes were being counted. Dix, on the other hand, insisted the NDP had scored a “great victory” even though its candidate, David Eby, had lost. If anything, both political leaders took home the prize for best “spinning” attempts for the week.

• The premier may want to calm down her itchy trigger finger when it comes to calling a general election. I’m not sure

her party is really prepared to fight another election so soon after the last one. She says she’s looking at the fall for a vote, but her party’s finances need shoring up (which will undoubtedly occur over time as the business community views Dix with considerable alarm) and she presumably needs more time to find credible, attractive candidates.

The NDP is in the same boat, which may factor into her timing, but if the polls don’t indicate a solid, substantial lead for her party an early election may backfire on her.

• Another piece of advice for the new premier: spend more time actually being the premier before expecting the electorate to endorse you come election time. Clark earned publicity for doing such things as working as a waitress in diner, and going on a ride-along with some cops, but people are looking for statesmanlike qualities in a premier as much as a penchant for the “common touch.”

• Are our Crown corporations about to be reined back under more government control? Already, the government has announced a review of B.C. Hydro’s plan to increase its rates by more than 30 per cent, and now ICBC’s idea of linking insurance rates to a single speeding ticket has been deep-sixed by the government. But the fact that

both corporations were able to get so far along a path that would potentially reach deep into many peoples’ pockets makes one wonder what else is lurking out there, away from the prying eyes of cabinet. Next on the list: B.C. Ferries and the size of its government subsidy (which directly affects ferry fares).

• Will the business community, much of which favours the HST, finally get involved in a major campaign to save the tax? Companies that find the tax works to their benefit should be explaining that fact to its employees and encouraging them to vote for it. So far, I haven’t seen much evidence of that happening.

• The legislative session will end soon – in early June – and so far, it hasn’t exactly created sparks or much energy. The NDP hasn’t really done much in question period, which has become on most days a shout fest over the HST and not much else. Maybe the party is saving its ammo for when the new premier finally takes her seat.

• Did new B.C. Conservative Party leader John Cummins doom his party’s future with his dumb comments on how people “choose” to be straight or gay?

They made him look like the stereotyped right-wing fringe politician, the kind that has ensured that party remained

completely marginalized in the past. I’m not sure he can fully recover from that gaffe, which would be very good news for the B.C. Liberals, who can’t afford any vote-splitting on the political right.

on some issues (such as seat distribution) potentially at the expense of B.C.’s interests (the party was once dominated and influenced by the West, but now more than half its federal caucus comes from Quebec).

• On the federal scene, it will be worth watching to see if new NDP Opposition begins to kowtow to Quebec’s interests

District must reinstate alternate program The Editor, Re: “At-risk students fight to keep their ‘second home,’” the Now, May 10.

Just when I think we are moving forward to provide help for youth, something happens to remind me we have a long way to go.

The announcement of the closure of the Seaquam Alternate School program frustrates me. Actually, I was up at 4 a.m. thinking about it.

This is not right.

May 7 was National Child and Youth Mental Health Day and I attended a conference where youth, families and professionals worked on defining outcomes within schools, communities and within the medical system that are meaningful to families dealing with mental health challenges. I was privileged to meet several students from an alternate secondary school program within the Surrey school district at this conference.

The difference between what an alternate school program is able to do and what the mainstream school system is able to provide is immense.

The students spoke of acceptance, trust, flexibility and success. These youth were so positive and excited about attending school now but could not say the same thing about their experiences with mainstream school.

Mainstream school is sometimes not able to accommodate students with mental health challenges and it is a shame we, as a society, are not ready or able to make the changes necessary to amend the system to accommodate every student. That is why alternate schools exist. Without Seaquam Alternate, where are these students going to go? Where are they going to receive the type of education that they need and deserve?

The students I met stated they probably would have dropped out of school had it not been for the alternate school. Where does that leave the students of Seaquam Alternate?

As a parent of a child with many mental health challenges, I see this type of school as a possible option for our son in the future. Our son requires a different environment to learn.

He requires flexibility in his routine, the ability to start and stop at his own pace. He needs

Students protest Delta school board’s decision to chop a program for at-risk youth, a decision one reader says is ludicrous. (Photo: Tom Zytaruk)

breaks and space and support that differs greatly from the other students in the room.

Knowing that the type of school he could need was successful for the youth I met gave me hope that our son could have a different place to learn if he needs it.

If programs such as Seaquam Alternate are shut down, what hope does that leave my son and other students like him? Is the option conform or quit?

It is my hope that the Delta School District is able to take another look at their decision and reinstate the Seaquam alternate program. It does not fix the bigger issues the school system faces, but it is a step in the right direction.

Sandhu sends wrong message The Editor, Each and every time Harvinder Sandhu’s column appears, there is a lot of negative reaction to it.

I understand that it makes sense to want to have an IndoCanadian opinion in your paper, but as an Indo-Canadian myself, I find her columns to be appalling.

Although I agree that it’s a good idea to have a diverse range of articles in the paper, I don’t want to read a piece that constantly prefers to separate people instead of bringing them together, one that suggests that one culture is better than another.

Look, I love my Punjabi culture but I also love Canada.

I was born and raised here and I respect all cultures. But I don’t respect that Sandhu is giving us Indo-Canadians a bad reputation and a bad name. We don’t need that.

There should be columns celebrating cultures of all kinds with respect as the base, unity in the lines and love as the message.

My Punjabi culture is rich and beautiful but so are all the other cultures. We all have something positive to give.

I don’t want to read an article where malicious pride is the intent behind it.

But more so than that, I hope people don’t fall for the messages she sends.

Let our kids just be kids The Editor, Re: “When a boy doesn’t look like a boy,” the Now, May 11.

It’s amazing how much Surrey’s and B.C.’s mentality has changed over the past five years.

In the West Coast magazine, May edition, there is a full page

Some election change needed

ad to promote: “Two Moms.

Two Babies. One Family.”

Many flyers, newspapers and other magazines also promote the gay and lesbian lifestyle.

Not only that, but many children’s movies are pretty wild. In Cats and Dogs, children learn that cat terrorist are planning to take over the world.

In Dawn of the Dinosaurs they learn that the end is near, and in Ella Enchanted they learn how to take care of their charming prince.

I read in the Now that at Surrey’s Kwantlen campus, students can buy rolling papers at the student association desk, in order to help them with their “higher” education.

So it won’t be long before students can obtain them in schools too – to help them with the stress of life because too many parents want children, but want the state to take care of them.

It seems as if there is a race going on to make children more violent and turn them into sex models and drug addicts, not because it’s natural, but due to the pushing and funding of the movers and shakers behind the screen and Surrey seems to have a lot of those.

The Editor, A number of columns and letters have supported political reform in Canada.

One change that should be obvious to any who have read your newspaper of May 3 is how MPs are elected.

The winner of the NewtonNorth Delta riding won with 33.4 per cent of the vote. The top three candidates were within 2.1 per cent, less than 1,000 votes.

The fourth-place candidate had over 1,500 votes. Thus, one third of the people who showed up to vote selected the winner.

Perhaps the elected candidate represented the majority will of the riding electorate, perhaps not. Of the four elections in Surrey, three winners got below 50 per cent of the vote.

The only way to serve the will of the people is to hold runoffs between the top two candidates.

Otherwise, multiple parties representing a generally common philosophy can only injure the goals they seek to advance.

End of era for movie rentals After nearly 29 years in business, Surrey store succumbs to new world of movie-watching, much to chagrin of heartbroken customers

Some parents are really upset, like this is the only store their kids have known.

Tom Zillich

STAFF REPORTER twitter@tomzillich

SURREY – When is the last time you stepped foot in a store that rents movies?

It’s probably been a while, given all the digital alternatives for seeing the latest flicks. Not only that, the doors of long-established stores that rent movies are closing at an alarming rate, leaving fewer options for customers.

Three or four years ago, for example, there were 11 stores on the Semiahmoo Peninsula that rented movies, and now there are four – and soon there’ll be two or three.

In the Ocean Park area, Pacific DVD & Video is currently in shutdown mode after nearly 29 years of business at the corner of 16th Avenue and 128th Street.

The doors will remain open until mid-June, and then that’s it for Mike Gammon’s three decades in the movie-rental biz.

He just can’t justify keeping the doors open any longer.

“It’s not losing money, but it’s not really making money either,” Gammon said. “It’s not something where I’d want to sign another fiveyear lease. That’s the issue.”

When word spread about the pending closure of Pacific DVD & Video, longtime customers became emotional upon hearing the news. Kids in the area even set up a lemonade stand and offered to donate sale proceeds to keep the store open.

“For a lot of people, it’s a community social centre kind of thing, you know,” Gammon said.

“They stop by and chat, and Sue, she knows them all.”

Suzanne Pederson has worked at the store for 13 years.

“Some parents are really upset, like this is the only store their kids have known,” Pederson said.

“Kids come in here now, they’re 20 years old, and I remember when they were seven and renting the kiddie movies.”

For movie-rental stores, competition is coming from several angles. With a digital-TV box, people can now rent a movie the same day it’s released on DVD. “There used to be a 90-day window for that,” Gammon said.

Also taking pieces of the pie are services such as web-based Netflix and illegal downloads of movies, plus rental kiosks at grocery stores.

“A store like this is still the preferred option for a lot of people, but there are so many other options now that we do only 60 or 70 per cent

People still love movies and games, but they want them anytime, anyplace and on different platforms. Taking pieces of the rental pie are services such as web-based Netflix. (Photo: Ted Colley)

of what we used to do, and the overhead doesn’t change.... This business would be viable if you could find a place with cheap rent, but around here, that doesn’t exist.”

People still love movies and games, but they want them anytime, anyplace and on different platforms. The people who run Rogers Plus

stores have figured that out, and are closing some of the stores accordingly.

“It’s all about options and we are giving them to (customers),” Sara Holland, Rogers’ senior communications manager, told the Now. “Our retail stores are a powerful distribution network for us and we are evolving the retail

experience as our customers’ needs change. In terms of our video stores, we are closing the ones that aren’t profitable as their leases come up and evolving others to entertainment and communications experience centres.”

This month, Blockbuster Canada was placed into receivership by an Ontario court, with the future of the chain’s 400 stores very much in question.

Gammon began working to open his first movie-rental store in the fall of 1982, with Video Stop first doing business in Langley in April 1983.

It was a bit of a slow start, with independent store operators trying to figure out how to best make money renting VHS and BETA videotapes.

“I remember we had these great big RCA machines, 25 of them in plastic suitcases,” he said. “You could rent one of those and two movies for the weekend for something like 25 bucks, and we’d be sold out of those before we opened the doors on Saturday.”

Those machines sold for around $500 – big bucks in those days.

“We also sold the machines, at cost,” Gammon said, “because everybody who bought one had an insatiable appetite for renting movies, so we made a fortune off the people with the new VCRs.” The heyday of the biz was in the late 1980s and early 1990s. As chain stores came into play and DVDs replaced VHS tapes, things began changing.

“When DVD took over,” Gammon said, “everything was for sale in the $25 range, as opposed to $80 to $100 for a VHS cassette of the movie. “Now, Walmart has the new release of the week every Tuesday for $17 or so. Every one of those sales takes away a rental.”

Starting June 1, a final “blowout sale” at Gammon’s store begins in earnest, with any remaining stock either shipped to a store he runs with a partner in Langley (also due to close, in October) or sold at flea markets this fall. The final day of operation for Pacific DVD & Video, which Gammon took over in 2002, is probably June 18, Ocean Park Day. “It’s going to be a sad day, because this has been a good store and we had pretty much the best catalogue library around,” Gammon said as he surveyed shelves that once held 20,000 titles in 2,881 square feet of space.

A word-of-mouth sale has reduced that number by around 8,000, with a whopping 2,300 DVDs sold in the first day of the stock-reduction effort earlier this month.

“The bones have been picked at pretty good already.” tzillich@thenownewspaper.com

SURREY – Up until three years ago, many of the books in Lena Shaw Elementary school’s library were tattered and torn.

Worse, they were woefully out of date, admitted Lisa Baker, teacher-librarian at the Whalley area school.

Some of the “country” books, for example, used for social studies to teach students about the people and industries of other lands were missing many of the world’s newly created countries and much of the information that was there was no longer relevant or completely useless.

“Even this year I was weeding books from the ’70s and ’80s,” Baker said.

Now students doing research for their lessons or checking out books for the sheer joy of reading have shiny new volumes to chose from on the library shelves.

Baker was able to refurbish the school’s aging library with a grant from the Indigo Love of Reading Foundation. The grant of $162,000 enabled Baker to go on a book-buying spree.

“Over the last three years we’ve purchased over 9,500 books,” she said.

Educators at high-needs schools across the

country are eligible to apply for a grant.

The foundation allocates grants based on school population, over three years, to help support literacy programs and the purchase new books, with the goal of improving literacy rates.

Baker used a portion of the grant to establish a special library for the school’s Ready, Set Learn program, which is aimed at getting three-yearolds ready for school.

Funding for school libraries has been eroding over the years, but the Surrey school district, faced with a substantial budget shortfall last year, was forced to make drastic cuts.

“We here in Surrey took a really big hit last year with cutbacks,” she said.

Baker said when companies like Indigo step up to the plate, it makes a big difference.

Baker said the new library is contributing to a rise in literacy rates at the school. She tracks literacy by the number of books borrowed during the school year, and the book borrowing figures have shot up for both girls and boys over the past two years.

She said the refurbished library is encouraging kids to read more and is setting them on right path for future learning.

“To start kids off right is vital,” she said. mbabic@thenownewspaper.com

NEWS Brunswick Point

Province says expropriated land will be returned to Delta farmers Sandor Gyarmati

NOW CONTRIBUTOR

DELTA – A long and bitter chapter in Delta’s farming history is finally coming to a close as several pioneer families have secured their expropriated land.

A group of Brunswick Point farmers and the Tsawwassen First Nation have reached a settlement that resolves a long-standing legal dispute over the expropriation of farmland.

“This is an important settlement which supports farming families at Brunswick Point, respects the Tsawwassen treaty and brings final resolution to a long-standing dispute,” Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Mary Polak said.

The agreement allows the provincial government to sell the Brunswick Point land back to the farmers, while still supporting terms of the TFN treaty. The Brunswick Point families – the Swensons, Montgomerys, Gilmours and McKims – lost their land in a mass expropriation in the spring of 1968.

Brunswick Point was among 800 hectares (2,000 acres) of privately owned farmland in an area known as the Roberts Bank back-up lands.

It was to become industrial development to serve the new superport.

Another 800 hectares (2,000 acres) of land

owned by Delta would also be expropriated.

The land was never used for industrial purposes, so pressure built on Victoria to return it to the farmers.

In 1999, the provincial government agreed to sell back much of the expropriated land, but that offer wasn’t extended to Brunswick Point farmers because their land was under a treaty claim by the TFN. Although government negotiators later offered assurances the farmers’ properties wouldn’t be included in a treaty settlement, the province also signed an agreement with the TFN stipulating it would have first right of refusal to purchase the land for 80 years.

The families maintained that because the industrial development never took place, they were entitled to a return of their prime farmland without any encumbrances. Another big concern facing the farmers was the price for their land, which they had been leasing from the government since it was expropriated.

The families took the government to court, but the judge reserved decision in order to allow all the parties to negotiate a deal.

The deal, announced last week, allows the Brunswick Point families to regain title to their land at a pre-negotiated purchase price. The land will be consolidated into four large parcels, while staying in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Celebrities help kick off housing project drive Sandor Gyarmati

NOW CONTRIBUTOR

DELTA – Businessman Ron Toigo and his celebrity partners were on hand Thursday for the official sales launch of the Tsawwassen Springs development.

Singer Michael Bublé, former Vancouver Canuck coach and GM Pat Quinn and record producer Bruce Allen joined Toigo, as well as members of Delta council and others, at the $400-million development to help kick off the marketing campaign.

“I’m blown away. This is just stunning. I knew it was going to be special, but it’s spectacular with the views and the finish,” Toigo told the Optimist – a sister paper of the Now – of the completed first phase, a building comprising 55 condos overlooking a new golf course.

The Shato Holdings president, noting the finished product exceeded his high expectations, said there’s been a growing list of locals registering to see what’s available.

The marketing is all about selling an experience of high quality resort-style living, something Toigo described as “Disney-esque, if there is such a thing.”

Singer Michael Bublé (left) and record producer Bruce Allen (right) joined Toigo at the $400 million development to help kick off the marketing campaign.

The buildings are to have an “Arts & Crafts style made famous at Torrey Pines Golf Club.”

The construction also carries LEED

certification and geo-exchange heating and air conditioning.

A focal point of Tsawwassen Springs is an all-season par 70, 18-hole golf course designed

by Vancouver-based Ted Locke. Other amenities will include a 32,000-square-foot neighbourhood clubhouse, a fully equipped fitness centre and spa, restaurant, pub, banquet facility, outdoor

skating rink, tennis court and neighbourhood store and café.

A limited number of pre-construction sales of the Tsawwassen Golf and Country Club redevelopment took place last year, but Toigo said at the time he wanted the remaining units to be sold when the first phase was completed, saying homebuyers would be captivated once they saw the finished product.

The 55-hectare (137-acre) development received Delta and Metro Vancouver approval a couple of years ago but Toigo later came back with an application to amend it.

Delta approved the changes, the most notable being an increase in the number of condos by spitting larger units into smaller ones. Toigo explained at the time that a major reason was the HST, which will not apply to the less expensive units.

The majority of the condos will sell for under $600,000.

According to the project website (www. tsawwassensprings.ca), strata fees will be “kept very low, with all amenities such as golf green fees or fitness centre costs on a pay_as_you_go basis. Every home has its own natural gas and electrical meters.

Simply put, at Tsawwassen Springs, the idea is that if you don’t use an amenity or service, you don’t pay for it.”

Tip gets dealer off the street

Charges laid in double murder

Mom holding baby mugged

RICHMOND – An anonymous tip to police has landed a Delta drug dealer in the slammer for seven years.

James Choi, 37, has been sentenced to seven years in jail and a 20-year firearms prohibition after he was convicted on a cocaine trafficking charge. Back in February Richmond Mounties received a tip that a guest at a hotel had a gun.

“When police arrived, they recognized the hotel guest as a prolific offender,” Const. Tammy-Lyn Walker said.

She said police found Choi with a large duffel bag containing 30 kilograms of cocaine, worth about $3 million.

SURREY – A Surrey man has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the slaying of a Mission couple.

Jack Douglas Woodruff, 52, was arrested Thursday for the 2008 double murder. Lisa Dudley, 33, and Guthrie McKay, 37, were shot in their rural home in the 31000-block of Greenwood Drive.

A Mountie was reprimanded for “disgraceful conduct” for not properly following up on a complaint of shots fired in that neighbourhood on Sept. 18, 2008. The couple was found four days later, with Dudley still clinging to life.

SURREY – A Surrey man accused of going on a “48-hour violent crime spree” in Metro Vancouver has been charged with 11 crimes related to six robberies in Surrey, Vancouver, North Vancouver and Coquitlam.

Among his alleged crimes, Joon Woo Lim, 32, is accused of mugging a Vancouver woman on Beatty Street while she was holding her six-month-old daughter Friday. Police say he pulled a weapon on her, ripped her purse from her arms, struck her leg with the weapon, ran away and then took off in a car.

Lim is to appear in court Wednesday.

DELTA – The arrival of eight new state-of-theart buses could give another competitive edge to Charter Bus Lines, the largest independent motorcoach operator in British Columbia.

This month, the family-owned and operated company welcomed the delivery of eight new 2011 Prevost H3-45 coaches to its bustling compound, located on River Road in Delta.

These new high-tech buses, built at the Volvoowned Prevost plant in Quebec, will cover Charter Bus Lines’ large service region with near-zero emissions and greatly improved fuel efficiency, thanks to their well-engineered D13 engines.

Equally important to Sheldon Eggen, longtime President and CEO of Charter Bus Lines, is that the new Prevost coaches are equipped with threepoint safety belts for use by all passengers.

“We are ahead of the curve with that, because there is no legislation yet for safety belts on buses in B.C.,” Eggen said. “We are very excited to be the first in the region to have buses with this important safety feature.”

Each of the new Prevost buses is valued at more than $550,000. “This is one of the largest deliveries of coaches in our company’s history,” Eggen said. “Adding eight new buses to our

Shelden Eggen at Charter Bus Lines’ compound on River Road in Delta.

fleet is exciting. We look forward to rolling into the future with safer, more environmentally responsible coaches.”

Close to 100 buses are operated and maintained by Charter, a subsidiary of Vancouver Tours and Transit Ltd., which has been in the transportation business for more than 60 years.

In the mid-1970s, the Eggen family became financially involved in the company and took the charter bus business in new directions.

STAFF REPORTER twitter@marisababic

SURREY — In an effort to make the event more family friendly, the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life at the Cloverdale Millennium Park Amphitheatre will start earlier this year.

The society’s Relay for Life is staged annually to celebrate cancer survivors, remember loved ones that have been lost to the disease and raise funds to fight cancer.

The Surrey event, to be held June 11, is part of a series of relays that will be hosted across the country this spring. Elsewhere, the White Rock/ South Surrey relay is slated for June 24, while the Delta event was held Friday, May 13 at North Delta Secondary.

Coordinator Caitlin Berndt says this year’s relay in Cloverdale will see a few changes.

“It’s starting at noon. Part of our goal is to integrate more with the families and give them more of an opportunity to come out and participate in the relay,” Berndt said Friday.

But you don’t have to participate in the relay officially in order to support the event. Visitors

Recognize a positive achievement in your police force.

can drop by and partake in other activities on offer at the park.

Berndt said a local Ford dealership will bring several vehicles to the park and the public can test drive them for a $20 donation, money that will go to support the relay.

“It’s a special program that Ford offers community and charity events to raise money,” she said.

Other festivities include an all-day barbecue and entertainment.

The local event has a strong bank of volunteers, about 120 of them signed up so far.

“We’re feeling pretty good about the number of volunteers we have, but we’re always welcoming new students or anyone that is interested in participating in the relay,” she said.

Volunteer duties are largely “ambassador type” roles such as meeting and greeting relay participants and visitors to the event, and helping to supervise children’s activities.

Women’s Soccer

Eight is great for Surrey United

Surrey downs Westside for eighth consecutive Provincial Cup title Michael Booth

SPORTS EDITOR twitter@surreynowsports

Surrey United capped an undefeated season by capturing their eighth consecutive women’s Provincial Cup title in Aldergrove Sunday.

The runaway regular season winners of the Metro Women’s Soccer League’s premier division maintained their winning ways with a dominant postseason. Surrey won the MWSL’s Premier Cup in March and then blew through the first two rounds of the Provincial Cup draw, outscoring their opponents 12-0. Sunday’s finale against Vancouver’s Westside was much closer but Surrey was still able to celebrate following a 1-0 win.

It was a testament to the players and the drive and determination we have on this team.

chances, all of which either went wide of the goal or were stopped by Westside goalkeeper Jackie Dennett.

“Their keeper was absolutely on fire,” said Surrey coach Jeff Clarke. “She was probably the best keeper I’ve seen all year. We played her once before and she was alright but in the final you could tell their game plan was to have her show up big and give them a chance to win.

She definitely did her job; she kept them in the game early and gave them hope for making a comeback.”

Surrey did manage to squeak one goal past Dennett. In the 20th minute, Nicole Stewart unleashed a hard shot that deflected off a defender’s head and into the goal for a 1-0 Surrey lead.

After that however, the play reverted to form

with Surrey building up to a scoring chance followed by Dennett spoiling the opportunity.

Thanks to Dennett, Westside stayed within striking distance into the second half as they awaited a chance to score against the flow of play.

“Westside is a great team and we knew they would be tough,” Hermus said. “They are by

“That game was not an indication of how we played all season,” said Surrey veteran Randee Hermus. “It was not our best game but it showed the Surrey United grit — it wasn’t pretty but we pulled out on top. It was a testament to the players and the drive and determination we have on this team. No matter what it takes, we’ll find a way to win.”

In the first half it didn’t look like Surrey would need grit and determination to extend their seven-year-long win streak of Provincial Cup games. For the first 10 minutes Surrey exerted strong pressure with a half-dozen scoring

Pegasus caps roller-coaster campaign with B.C. title Michael Booth

SPORTS EDITOR twitter@surreynowsports

Last November, members of Newton’s ICST Pegasus were lower than crab droppings, wondering what had gone wrong in their Vancouver Metro Soccer League premier season and staring at the distinct possibility of being caught up in a battle to avoid regulation.

Sunday afternoon those thoughts were long gone as Pegasus players were higher than the North Shore mountains as they celebrated their first B.C. championship after a 1-0 win over Vancouver’s Columbus in the men’s soccer Provincial Cup final.

“It was an epic day for us,” marvelled Pegasus coach Rob Reed. “To win the Provincial Cup is a fantastic accomplishment and it was our number one goal at the start of the season. But to win it the way we did this year – knowing the path we took with all the struggles we had in the first two or three months of the season – made it all the more sweet.

“It was a colossal struggle at times but through it all the players stuck together, righted the ship and got on a roll the other way. It was a very powerful roll that ultimately couldn’t be stopped by anyone.”

After losing to cross-town rival Surrey United Firefighters in the VMSL’s Imperial Cup title game in March, Pegasus players vowed they would be better prepared the next time they battled for silverware. On Sunday in Aldergrove they made good on that promise with a solid showing against a determined Columbus team.

Pegasus came out of the gates hard,

pressing into the Columbus zone and creating a string of dangerous scoring chances. Azad Palani had two golden chances in the opening half while teammates Sahil Sandhu, Jag Gill and Diaz Kambere each had their own shot at opening the scoring only to come up empty on their chances. Despite dominating much of the play in the first 45 minutes, Pegasus had nothing to show for it other than zeros on the scoreboard.

“It was a very close game,” Reed said.

“We could have been easily up by three or four goals at halftime but instead it was still 0-0. We had probably four quality chances

Nobody said anything but everybody on our team was wondering if the missed chances we had earlier would come back to haunt us. in the first half but couldn’t score. Then they kind of clawed their way into the game with some good chances themselves in the second half and our keeper had to make a couple of fantastic saves.

Columbus came on strong to open the second half but, like Pegasus in the first half, could not capitalize on their opportunities. Pegasus slowly reasserted control, and began to create pressure in the Columbus zone. The Horsemen’s hard

golf report

For awhile on Sunday I didn’t think any player wanted to win the TPC Players Championship. This is the tournament the Americans love to call the fifth major. KJ Choi and David Toms, who were at the top in the final round, were missing short putts, and in the case of Toms putting it in the water when a lay-up might have been better suggested.

Toms righted himself, of course, and came through on 18 to tie Choi with a brilliant 20-foot putt and force a playoff at the famed 17 “Island Hole.”

OK, if this is a near major should you be deciding the winner with one shot on an island green?

Choi won because Toms missed a short put—again. Both were doing it all day.

Interesting with all the young hot shots in the final day mix, it was a veteran twosome that was left standing.

What do we make of Tiger Woods and his withdrawal after only nine holes on the first day?

Woods is the last guy who is going to tell you how much of his body is under repair but if its his Achilles and knee and possibly a new knee is in the offing then perhaps he will then be able to play at the level he used to dream about.

There is no consistency to his game right now and that’s what Woods has always thrived on. While others were falling around him, he was so consistent shot after shot. ********************************************************************* Good news for Abbotsford’s Nick Taylor, one this county’s top amateur players. Taylor is going to make his pro debut at the Canadian Tour event in Victoria next month and has already received six exemptions to date for the season.

The tour then heads to Kamloops where the BC Lions are practising. Maybe a tour—a Lions hitting contest for charity.

work was finally rewarded in the 70th minute with what turned out to be the game’s only goal.

Sandhu created the chance by sending a crossing pass for Gill, who nodded it over the leaping Columbus goalkeeper. The Vancouver goalie got a piece of the ball with his hand, but not enough to keep it out of the net.

“It was a massive relief for us,” Reed said. “Nobody said anything but everybody on our team was wondering if the missed chances we had earlier would come back to haunt us. When the ball went into the net it was a huge relief for us to finally have the lead.”

Pegasus defence protected their zone extremely well for the final 20 minutes, denying Columbus any scoring chances while coming close to adding an insurance goal on the counterattack.

“When that final whistle went it was an unbelievable feeling for every player,” Reed said. “The elation and the celebrating with the players was just phenomenal. Then when they presented the cup to our captain (Paul Bahia), he didn’t lift it. Instead he gave it to Lavy Mangat, a player who has been with the club for a long time and was supposed to be retiring this year.

“Lavy was the guy who actually lifted the Provincial Cup for us and it was a very, very emotional moment for everybody on the team.

Reed then added with a laugh, “It was the first provincial championship for Lavy.

He was supposed to be retiring but now he has to come to nationals with us on Thanksgiving.”

SPORTS Surrey wins eighth B.C. crown ‹ from page 22 no means a team that we took for granted and we knew it wouldn’t be easy. We were definitely the stronger team on the day but all they needed was one goal and anything could have happened.”

Hermus almost provided an insurance marker midway through the second half when her header in traffic appeared to cross the goal line. The referee was unable to see through the group of bodies in the penalty box, however, and the game continued with the

score 1-0 in Surrey’s favour.

“Who’s to say but it looked like it was across the line,” Hermus said. “The game was won anyway so it didn’t matter. If that goal would have been the difference then maybe I would have fussed more about it but in the end it didn’t matter — one goal was enough.”

Surrey’s defence held for the remainder of the game and when the final whistle sounded, United was making plans for an eighth straight strip to the national championships. This year’s

tournament will take place in Montreal on Thanksgiving weekend.

When asked if winning provincial titles is getting old for Surrey players, Hermus quickly denied it.

“Are you kidding? Not at all,” the national team stalwart said. “When the final whistle blew it was the same intensity and craziness and excitement as all the other times we’ve won. We all still feel it and it’s definitely not boring to us. That’s one the big reasons I’m still hanging on and still playing.”

AUTOMOTIVE

Prepare your bike for summer riding As our days slowly warm up, motorcycle owners are getting their wheels out of hibernation.

But before revving the engine, it’s important that bikers take some time to get their motorcycles ready for the new season.

Preparing your bike is not only important from a maintenance perspective, but also to make sure that riding doesn’t get too rough on the wallet.

“By asking the right questions and carefully bringing your bike out of storage, motorcycle owners will have a much greater chance of a safe and trouble–free 2010 motorcycle season,” said Mauro Convertini, an insurance expert

from Aviva Canada.

Before you head out onto the highway, here are a couple of preparations that Convertini suggests you take:

– Install an anti–theft device: There are a range of anti–theft devices designed for motorcycles and some insurance companies will offer you a discount if you have an approved one installed.

– Test your equipment: Safely reinstall the battery and examine all fluid levels. Check for cracked tires, broken parts or leaking oil. Set the tire pressures back to riding specs.

– Check your insurance: Follow up with your insurance broker to ensure you have the most comprehensive coverage. Ask about discounts for bikers with safe driving records.

– Take it slow: Your biking skills will be rusty and road surfaces will be different than your last ride. Sand and salt deposits on the edge and corners of the roads may be hazardous.

More information is available from your insurance broker or at avivacanada.com.
