Most expensive of 10 Surrey options has drawbacks, according to TransLink assessment
Councillors back $2.1B transit plan Jeff Nagel Black Press
A hybrid light rail/rapid bus system linking downtown Surrey to Guildford, Langley and White Rock would cost an estimated $2.1 billion – making it the most expensive of 10 options tabled for Surreyarea rapid transit expansion. But at least two Surrey council-
lors say it’s the best choice they see, despite an evaluation by TransLink that found a SkyTrain extension or rapid bus-only options could perform better on some fronts. Coun. Linda Hepner said she “whole-heartedly supports” the at-grade, hybrid light-rail option dubbed LRT1. It features three light rail arms radiating from City Cen-
tre to Guildford, to Langley City via Fraser Highway and to Newton, with a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) spur running south to White Rock via King George Boulevard and 152 Street in South Surrey. Bus Rapid Transit would run like light rail in its own guideway in the middle of the road but using buses at much less cost, with potential to
eventually convert to light rail. “Including it all the way to the Langleys would significantly improve the chances of people actually getting out of their vehicles,” Hepner said. Coun. Marvin Hunt said the LRT1 option goes the farthest to cover the whole city, adding 22 new stations.
“That’s what I want to see,” Hunt said. “The SkyTrain lines are so short they’re to the point of being useless.” Most of the other hybrid rapid bus/light rail options involve replacing some or all of the light rail segments with cheaper rapid bus lines or truncating major sections. � see page 4

Firefighters snub survey Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter

Makenzy, Isabelle and Spencer Honing survey what’s left of their family’s trampoline, after it was lifted from their backyard last week.
Young sister used trampoline for physical therapy
Bouncing bandits take toll on family Tracy Holmes Staff Reporter
Vandals who stole and destroyed a trampoline belonging to a South Surrey family last week did more than break the law. They devastated a seven-year-old girl and her brothers. “I could cry thinking about it,” said Lynda Honing. “It’s just so disturbing.” The mother discovered the theft Friday, when she took the family’s puppy out to the backyard, which neighbours Jessie Lee Elementary. Honing was shocked to find the trampoline
had been lifted from the yard – over landscaping and a 4½-foot fence – and hauled at least 50 metres onto the school’s property. Investigating further, she found more than two dozen beer cans and an empty 40-ounce bottle of rum littering the area around the displaced trampoline. The year-old equipment was damaged beyond repair. Honing and her husband, Michael, said the crime is compounded by two facts: the trampoline was bought primarily to aid in the physical therapy of their daughter, Isabelle, who has

Down Syndrome; and older brother Spencer, 14, had pitched in half of the $350 tab, using money he’d earned from his paper route. With their older brother, 16-year-old Makenzy, the siblings made use of the trampoline daily. A police report was made, and the Honings are planning to build a higher fence in the hopes of preventing future invasions. They’re also appealing to citizens to keep an ear out for any information that could identify those responsible. Those details may be reported to Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.
Lingering resentment over the City of White Rock’s decision to consider contracting out its fire services led firefighters to boycott a recent poll aimed at determining employee satisfaction. “Nobody had any desire to fill those out,” firefighter Scott Booth, who is the Local 2407 president, told Peace Arch News Tuesday, of surveys distributed in January. “We just spent eight months/nine months fighting to keep the fire department in White Rock and now you’re giving us a questionnaire about how we think the workplace environment was. What did they think we were going to say?” The city’s human resources director, Jacquie Johnstone, told council Monday the Workplace Environment Study was completed by about 47 per cent of 153 employees, with “generally positive” feedback. In response to shock expressed by Coun. Helen Fathers over the lack of results from firefighters, Johnstone confirmed just one had filled out the survey. She speculated the city’s look at sharing fire services with Surrey played a role. “That’s the one area they had some negativity around,” Johnstone said. City officials announced in late 2009 that they were considering contracting fire services to Surrey, as part of a city-wide core-services review. � see page 2

FRESH BAKED EUROPEAN SPECIALTY BREADS
Politicians support local focus � from page 1 A second BRT option, rated the most cost-effective option at $650 million, would sacrifice the southern link from Newton to White Rock, while an option dubbed LRT4 would scrap both the southern link and the Fraser Highway line to Langley City, instead leaving just a light rail inverted “L” running from Newton to Guildford. SkyTrain options include a single $1.95-billion line to Langley City, a single $900-million line south to Newton or the Newton SkyTrain extension plus BRT legs to Langley and Guildford for $1.4 billion. TransLink is asking for public feedback on its findings. View all the routes and rankings at www.translink. ca/en/Be-Part-of-the-Plan/ Public-Consultation/Surrey-Rapid-Transit-Study. Not included is the old
Interurban corridor, which swooshes south and then east in a crescent from Scott Road Station through Newton, Sullivan and Cloverdale. Planners say it wouldn’t serve the most populous parts of Surrey and would require much more costly widening than the road corridors. The expansive and expensive LRT1 option rates worst on TransLink’s assessment for financial considerations (due to its higher operating costs versus anticipated ridership compared to driverless SkyTrain) and the environment (more carbon emissions compared to electric SkyTrain; more farmland/green space impacted). The LRT1 option beat SkyTrain on urban development, by encouraging denser development, and on social and community impacts (better community connections and user security).
Boneless Chicken Breast
LRT1, BRT1 (the all-BRT equivalent) and the SkyTrain to Langley options all tie as the best options on actual transportation. But that takes in not just transit performance but also disruption to road users. Elevated SkyTrain’s milder impact on other drivers, including goods haulers, improves its transport score. The at-grade LRT or BRT options would reduce the road space from four lanes to two on 104 Avenue to Guildford and on 152 Street from King George to 16 Avenue. Hepner, Hunt and Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts all said they oppose an elevated SkyTrain expansion, saying it would be geared to moving people to Vancouver, rather than around Surrey. The most optimistic scenario would see the rapid transit network finished by the end of this decade.
GREAT ON THE BARBECUE
move past” the issue, he added. Booth said the discontent also factored into a boycott of signing the city’s new employee code of conduct. After confirming that point with Johnstone, Coun. Lynne Sinclair suggested the city move to mend the fence. “We may need to spend some direct and special attention in having some dialogue with them,” she said. Johnstone described the firefighters’ lack of participation in the workplace survey as “a resource for us to

Booth said while firefighters have an appetite for improving their relationship with the city, they won’t be making the first move. “We were kind of put through the wringer,” he said. “If they want to mend the relationship, the ball’s in their court.”

Surrey council endorses medical-marijuana restrictions
City clamps down on medicinal-pot users Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey residents who use or grow medical marijuana will soon have to obtain municipal permits and relocate to an agricultural area. Surrey council endorsed a plan that would place restrictions on how and where medical marijuana is grown and stored. Since 2003, people with certain medical conditions – such as glaucoma, spinal cord injury or pain or nausea from cancer – have been allowed to use marijuana for medicinal purposes. Others, who obtained federal licences, have been allowed to grow pot in their
home to supply those who need it for medical reasons. The City of Surrey has long believed the medical grow-ops are wired incorrectly and pose a fire hazard, with structures housing grow-ops becoming up to 24 times more likely to burn. While Health Canada stipulates municipal permits are required, federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq wrote in a letter to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities in April, 2010: “Health Canada does not, however, verify compliance with these requirements either before or after licensing.” Even though that was a year ago, there has been no evidence locally of a federal reform
exercise to date, and Surrey fire Chief Len Garis said the Health Canada requirements continue to be ignored. “They’re not following any of the guidelines that Health Canada has given them, not in one single case,” Garis said Monday. A corporate report to Surrey council Monday recommends a bylaw that would require permits for anyone using medical marijuana, another for those using and growing pot, and a separate permit for those growing marijuana for the use of others. Under the bylaw, if a person refuses to comply, they may be convicted of an indictable offense. Citing privacy reasons, Health Canada has
not provided information about medical grow-ops in specific municipalities. Health Canada does say that 3,627 people in this province have federal authority to possess medical marijuana. About 30 per cent of those are allowed to produce pot. “Applications for ‘personal use production licences’ have tripled Canada-wide in the past two years to over 350 per month,” a report to council states. Health Canada told Black Press Monday it was still working on the reform exercise. “Health Canada is currently considering longer-term measures to reform the Marijuana Medical Access Program and its regulations,” a spokesman for the ministry said.
Thousands join beach fest Around 2,000 people headed to Crescent Beach last weekend to peruse vendors and take in live performances at the 37th annual Alexandra Festival. “It was wonderful,” co-ordinator Lois Peterson said. “It was just your basic grassroots community festival with everybody out having a good time… just the way we like it.” The May 28 event at Camp Alexandra featured about 55 vendors, refreshments and prizes, as well as a main stage that showcased an array of talent – from a Motown band and blues singer to youth musicians. “We also had a lot of community exhibitors this time… which was a really nice addition,” Peterson said. The Family Fun Zone returned to Sullivan Park across the street. “That was one of the highlights,” Peterson said, noting both familiar and new faces in the crowd. “It was a lovely mix of repeat festivalgoers and brand new people.”

Surrey Board of Trade honours young achievers The Top 25 Under 25 include:
Kevin Diakiw Black Press
Surrey’s most promising youth were recognized this week for their business endeavours and community involvement. The Surrey Board of Trade (SBOT) hosted its first annual Surrey’s Top 25 Under 25 event Monday at Eaglequest Golf Course. The group is being recognized for displaying excellence in a multitude of areas, including civic development, social issues and business trailblazing, according to SBOT CEO Anita Patil Huberman. The event was the brainchild of a Kwantlen Polytechnic University student, who suggested the concept hasn’t been done anywhere else in the province. The SBOT grabbed hold of the idea, with Coast Capital Savings, Kwantlen and the Surrey-North Delta Leader newspaper joining in as sponsors. Calls for nominations were sent out through Kwantlen, local businesses and the school district. Thirty-five strong nominations were received and a panel combed over the group to find the best. “The purpose of this awards pro-

gram is not only to recognize their different projects and different business endeavours, but also for them to network for either entrepreneurial engagement or career growth,” Huberman said. To that end, the SBOT announced a mentorship program for some of the recipients. The board of trade noted many baby boomers are retiring this year and there will be a skills shortage. “What we wanted to do is really focus in on our youth, which are the leaders of tomorrow for our businesses,” Huberman said. For more information, call the SBOT at 581-7130.

He was also involved in heritage preservation. MacNamara was the grandson of Wes Gillis, a Sullivan homesteader and lifetime member of the association that runs Sullivan Hall. MacNamara told Black Press last year that burgeoning residential development was quickly swallowing heritage buildings in the
area. He said at the time he would make it his mission to rescue the last piece of history in the area. In 2010, Surrey granted Sullivan Hall greater heritage designation and protection from development. Since MacNamara’s death, members of the community he worked so hard to preserve has rallied around his family. “Kelly would be so proud of them all,” said MacNamara’s wife, Michelle. There will be a celebration of MacNamara’s life at Sullivan Hall next Wednesday, June 8, from 5-9 p.m.

editorial
Proposed levy comes at bad time for drivers
P
erhaps there is never a good time to propose a vehicle levy but this latest reincarnation of the dreaded car tax comes at a bad time for Lower Mainland residents. For one thing, the prospect of paying on average $122 per car, depending on the size of the vehicle, on top of new tolls, higher gas prices and AirCare fees is daunting given that incomes aren’t rising as fast as all the other bills. When the fee was originally proposed in the 1990s, it was only $75 and was soundly trashed. Now, it’s even bigger, and although it’s scaled to the size of vehicles to give the appearance of being green, most people will just see it as a tax and won’t like it any better. The problem is a transit tax is hard to justify in the suburbs, where transit is minimal and most families still need two cars. At the same time, road and transit projects that could create some relief – the Evergreen Line, the United Boulevard Extension and the MurrayClarke connector – are either on hold or history. It’s true TransLink needs the cash to put it on more sustainable footing so it can pay for these large infrastructure projects but there is such a gap in public trust that people aren’t likely to believe they’ll see any benefit from the fee. They wonder, for example, why they still have to pay for AirCare when their car and most others never fail. They wonder why TransLink carried over a $16-million surplus and why the Evergreen Line is still stalled. Meanwhile, transit in single-family neighbourhoods will never be as good as it is in denser areas of the region, so this transit tax doesn’t have any initial benefit for those who could be forced to pay it. To sell this tax will require a lot of creative thinking. One idea would be to attach a sunset clause so that it dies after some of the bigticket transit items have been paid off. Former premier Gordon Campbell got some mileage from taking down the toll booths on the Coquihalla. That’s an idea worth emulating.

Their campaign of fear and ignorance is encountering heavy resistance at university and college campuses, however, as tax experts fact-check their claims on the spot. (They’ve added “rallies” in an effort to keep fear alive.) Delaney still raves about Europe being the cause of all this alleged human misery with their insidious Value Added Tax. Vander Zalm continues to mutter about a plot to establish world government through carbon taxes and the HST. It would be nice if the NDP-Fight HST crowd were concerned about the wave of retiring baby boomers that is starting to wash across the country. But they’re not. There are changes happening now in the B.C. economy that 1960s socialism and 1980s populism are not equipped to handle. The living standard of our children is going to be determined by how we deal with our aging, globalizing population, and this is one reason to understand a shift to consumption taxes. Fourteen months ago I wrote that more U.S. states are joining Washington, Hawaii and others with sales taxes on services as well as goods. Robert Kleine, treasurer for Michigan, explained it this way: “The basic thing is that we need to update our tax structure. We’ve got a 20th-century tax structure based on a different sort of economy. The tax base doesn’t grow as the economy grows.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com tfletcher@blackpress.ca

A little thought and promotion Editor: Re: Squabbling stalls city’s progress, May 20 letters. White Rock needs to move forward with a vision that will allow us to be sustainable, which means attracting commerce that draws people. We need shops mingled in with the restaurants that encourage people to come here all year round. It is not the pay parking that keeps people away, it is the lack of quality shopping. I am a shopper and I have no problem paying for parking if there is enough to draw me. Look what Leavenworth in eastern Washington has managed to accomplish to attract people there in the winter. They turned their village into a Bavarian Christmas wonderland with entertainment. November and December is their busiest time, the restaurants overflowing with people. That could happen here easily, if we really wanted to make it happen. There are so many positive changes that could be made. There are too many “No” signs and not enough “come to White Rock and have good, healthy family fun.” We should have a dog day on the promenade at least once a week, or how about a rollerblading day or skateboarding day. I think the promenade would be perfect for some fun, family activities. These could take place outside the prime summer months to attract people in the quiet months. How about a nice fall festival on the promenade? How about promoting our hidden treasures like our little walkways and steps throughout the hillside. The city could spend a little more money on the landscaping in those areas and we should be appealing to energetic people who want a workout and a beautiful place to do it in. We now have an organic cafe and a great juice bar on the strip. In short, White Rock needs to appeal to all people’s leisure needs. It can be done easily with a little thought and promotion. The information needs to be put out there to the whole Lower Mainland that we are not just a beach but a destination with multiple choices in activities. The ideas are endless, let’s just make them happen. Linda Carvajal, White Rock
High-calibre entertainment Editor: Recently I had the pleasure of seeing the play, Waiting for the Parade, at the White Rock playhouse. It was very well done. My emotions were on a rollercoaster from sad, happy, funny, serious in rotation. The entire cast was very convincing in their so varied roles. This was entertainment at its finest, which my husband and I enjoyed immensely.
We look forward to many more contributions from this fledgling company, 16th Avenue Productions. We are fortunate to have entertainment of this calibre in our community. M. Downey, Surrey
Future lives elsewhere Editor: Re: Weather woes may be ending for city’s farmers, May 20. The weather woes may be ending but not Surrey council’s onslaught on farmland. Soon there won’t be any farmland left. You just have to read Surrey’s development proposals to see how much agricultural land is transformed into development and industry. Surrey used to have many strawberry fields, but they are all gone, except perhaps one; the raspberries fields probably not
much better. The only fruits left will be the blueberries, but they will be covered with pesticides – to make you sick and the bees disappear… So, columnist Frank Bucholtz must be living in the past – not in the now – and he will have to forget about the future, because the only roadside fruit stands left will be the ones in the supermarkets, thanks to Surrey council’s woes on farmland and ignorance to preserve land for B.C.’s future food needs. But, then, there may not be any future anyway. Catharina Leidel, Surrey
Intolerance not akin to bullying Editor: I am writing to express my concerns regarding the hijacking of local anti-bullying campaigns by homosexual advocates and various forms of media. The hard work of many in our
communities and schools to encourage an attitude of civility and respect for one another is to be commended, but the abuse of these efforts by gay lobbyists to force their ideology on, specifically the youth, is something we should all be wary of. My wife and I parent our children to treat everyone with respect and to avoid any form of bullying. But to be against bullying should not be equated with a blind acceptance of all lifestyles, in this case, homosexuality. The youth, indeed all of society, would be much better served by the schools educating students about many of the physical and mental perils that come with living a homosexual lifestyle. It’s time Canadians stood up to the bullying of the homosexual community. Their militant efforts to force all of us to not only tolerate but to accept and even celebrate their choice to practise a completely unnatural lifestyle needs to be stopped! Mike Schouten, Surrey

Southridge students (from left) Allison, Mikaela, Michaela, Areeba and Anna research puppy mills, which included visits to a responsible breeder, a pet store and the SPCA, as well as reading books and investigating online.
Research benefits pets, owners Editor: My students wrote the following letter to educate and inform others about puppy mills. They want to take action and ensure that the general public knows what is happening. They hope this letter will help others make an informed decision when purchasing puppies. Lea Mollo, Southridge School teacher ••• We are from Southridge School and we are doing something called Exhibition. Exhibition is our International Baccalaureate project that we do at the end of Grade 4. Our topic is puppy mills. We want you to know that puppy mills are abusing dogs. Puppy mills are putting three to five dogs in a small cramped cages and these dogs live in their own feces and urine. We are sad that lots of dogs are being are abused and lots of dogs are dying. Puppies from mills often have no medical care, fresh food and/or water. After the parents can’t get bred anymore, they are
euthanized. Puppy mills force the puppies to be bred over six times a year, starting when they are four months old. They overbreed, inbreed and line-breed. It make us sad when we found out how poorly puppy mills are treating theses dogs. Puppy mills sell their puppies online in classified ads, and in pet stores through brokers. Puppies get genetic defects, born to weak, suffering parents and are covered in fleas and parasites. They are more prone to hip dysplasia, deformed limbs, neurological damage, blindness, matting hair, poor teeth, eye and ear infections. You should make sure you that the breeder you buy from is responsible; take a look at the puppies’ parents and look at the puppies’ health records. We suggest you go to the SPCA to get a puppy who needs a home. I hope you can help us and make a difference for all the dogs that don’t have the right to have an equal and loving home. Allison, Mikaela, Anna, Michaela, Areeba & Ms. Mollo, Southridge School

Men charged after meth bust Two men, one from Surrey and one from Langley, have been charged with multiple drug and weapons offences as a result of a large-scale investigation into clandestine meth labs in B.C. by the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit (CFSEU). Last week, the agency revealed four B.C. meth labs raided in June of 2010 were working together with organized crime overseas. Three labs were located in Surrey. They were inactive, police said, and were likely in the process of being moved elsewhere. A fourth, active methamphet-
amine lab was located near an underground bunker on an 80-acre rural property about 40 km north of Kamloops. Police seized 32 firearms, including an M-16 rifle and a grenade. A 34-year-old Surrey resident, Ante Dragusica, is charged with two counts of possessing drugs for the purpose of trafficking, three counts of production of a controlled substance, one count of possession of a restricted firearm, one count of possession of a firearm without a licence, one count of possession of a prohibited weapon and two counts of possession of a restricted firearm
while prohibited. The owner of the Kamloops bunker, 39-year-old Langley resident Ivan Georgiev, has been charged with one count of producing a controlled substance, one count of possession of a controlled substance and three counts of unlawful possession of a precursor drug. Police also seized Georgiev’s two-year-old daughter when they raided the Kamloops property. She was later turned over to the Ministry of Social Services. CFSEU Sgt. Shinder Kirk said the girl was found near loaded weapons, including a grenade.
Cable theft leaves hundreds without 911 service An early morning cable theft in South Surrey has left about 380 residents without phone service since Monday. Telus spokesman Shawn Hall says at about 5 a.m. May 30, thieves stole about 60 metres
of cable from poles along the 16400-block of 16 Avenue. Crews have been on site since then, and the company is hoping to have service restored by midafternoon today. “Our concern is that customers
are without access to 911 and other telecom services until we can restore service, which is often a lengthy job due to the significant damage,� Hall said. “These thieves are putting our customers’ lives at risk.�

ay Hung saw a human brain for the first time last weekend. She saw 20 of them, in fact, while participating in the Canadian Institute of Health Research’s national Brain Bee at McMaster University. The Grade 12 Semiahmoo Secondary student had to identify areas of the specimens that were marked with a pin – the same exam given to McMaster medical students – as part of the day-long competition against 12 other youth from across the country. “It was pretty interesting,” Hung said, noting the test was a difficult one to prepare for. “It’s hard to study for something you don’t really see in 3D.” Hung, 17, was chosen to represent the province at the contest after winning Vancouver’s third annual Brain Bee at University of British Columbia in April.

The task was an important one, but it was clear Lucas Visscher was nonetoo-pleased with the attention he received from Canada Border Services Agency officers stationed at the South Surrey Walmart last week. The photo they snapped of the twoyear-old shows a pouty face, and it took some convincing before his little handprints became a reality in the passport that will help authorities locate and identify the tot should he ever go missing. But the value of the effort was not lost on Lucas’s mom. “What a good idea,” Kristin Visscher said, noting she plans to put together a similar passport for her older son, Owen.

Since the program began, 1,650 children have been returned to their legal guardians, including 15 last year – nine runaways, five who were taken by a parent and one child who had been abducted by a stranger. Currie said passports like those distributed last week, which include a child’s hand-, finger- or footprints (in the case of an infant) and photo, are a “huge” help in such searches. Barzin noted the details give authorities a “head start.” For Tania Holmes, who had passports made for her fouryear-old sons Carson and Jeremy, having the information in order is “a great idea.” Officer Wakita, who also works at the Pacific Highway crossing, advised those travelling

Berner is appealing the sentence. Alexa’s mom, Laurel, is a principal at Southridge School in South Surrey. She and her husband, Michael, are working with the BCAA Road Safety Foundation and police agencies to make the bus a reality. Langdeau said her office, at 130-2655 King George Blvd., is aiming to raise at least $1,566 through the auction (an amount calculated by dividing the $50,000 amongst the 29 sites, and based on the number of staff at each). Items up for grabs include hockey tickets, Westjet tickets, sunglasses and braces. The latter – valued at $7,800 – was donated by Dream Orthodontics. Bidding for that item starts at $500, Langdeau noted.
She invited Laurel Middelaer to meet her staff Friday (May 27), to bring the cause closer to home. “It’s so much more passionate when you’ve met the person,” Langdeau explained. “Every time you see her speak and hear the story, it just kind of endears you to it.” The auction will wrap up Saturday (June 4), when hotdogs and hamburgers will be available by donation. Items for the auction and cash donations for the cause will be accepted throughout the week, Langdeau added. Winning bidders will be notified by 10 a.m. June 6. For more information on the event, or to donate an item or service for the auction, contact Langdeau at 604-205-1151 or carolyn.langdeau@bcaa.com

FIRST IN BC - OUTPATIENT CARE AND SURGERY CENTRE OPENS IN SURREY
Unique facility offers better care for outpatients The delivery of health care in Surrey will change forever on June 1, with the opening of the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre at 140 Street and Fraser Highway. The four-storey, 188,000-square-foot facility will be the first in B.C. to bring together more than 50 services and programs, including day surgery, exclusively for outpatients – those who don’t require an overnight stay or emergency care. Day surgeries, chronic disease management, specialist visits, diagnostic scans and other services that commonly take place in a hospital setting will shift to this innovative new space, custom-built to meet the needs of outpatients in Surrey and throughout the Fraser Health region. The Centre is expected to receive more than 450,000 visits a year, including most of the 134,000 outpatient clinic visits and 94,000 outpatient diagnostic procedures that take place each year at Surrey Memorial Hospital. “We’re evolving our service-delivery strategy with the goal of providing the right care in the best place for the patient,” said Dr. Nigel Murray, President and CEO of Fraser Health. “The Centre will not only provide better care
for outpatients, but will free up capacity that can help us improve care in our hospitals and other facilities.” Distinct environment One key question guided the construction and design of the Centre: “What will serve the patient best?” The answer is apparent from the moment you step into the lobby, a bright and welcoming space that embodies the feel of the entire building. Light streams in through floor-to-ceiling windows, the aroma of coffee wafts over from the coffee bar, and finding your way around is easier with computer Express Check-in kiosks and clear signage. As you move through the building, distinct tree-inspired motifs and different colour schemes on each floor (along with reception areas and signs) help you stay oriented, even if English is not your first language. The patient-focused design is everywhere throughout the Centre, from sky ceiling murals in MRI and CT rooms to living room-style seating and ample use of windows that bring the outside in. The soundproofed exam rooms have plenty of space to accommodate family members. Or they can wait for you in the window-lined
“The Centre will not only provide better care for outpatients, but will free up capacity that can help us improve care in our hospitals and other facilities.” seating areas on each floor, with views of trees and gardens. If you need a moment alone, visit the non-denominational sacred space on the first floor. “We didn’t want it to feel like a hospital or an office building, and it doesn’t,” said Barry Pearce, Chief Project Officer. “The whole focus was on the patient’s needs and comfort.”

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus here is timely, accessible, well-rounded care and convenience for patients.â&#x20AC;? Integrated, expanded care The Centre takes an integrated â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-stop-shopâ&#x20AC;? approach to patient care that views each patient as a whole person rather than an individual illness. To those with multiple conditions, such as diabetes and a weak heart, this will mean fewer medical visits along with a more comprehensive picture of what they need to do to improve their overall health. Care providers from different service areas will not only work together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with the help of technology that assists with information-sharing and scheduling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but will also collaborate with patients through a strong focus on education and empowerment. Most of the Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50-plus clinics and programs are either new or enhanced, featuring new technology, larger space, additional staffing and increased service hours. Some of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;firstsâ&#x20AC;? to be found at the Centre include: s A NEW BREAST HEALTH CLINIC USING A %UROPEAN approach that reduces diagnosis time for cases of suspected breast cancer,

Other programs and services include a variety of specialty clinics (e.g. diabetes, heart, lung, pain, seniors and neurology), urology services, maternity services, diagnostic services (e.g. ultrasound, x-ray, CT and MRI scans), day surgeries and surgical procedures, scopes and biopsies. Ultimately, the overall goal is to provide faster access to patient-centred care, resulting in better health and quality of life for patients, and fewer visits to the hospital or emergency room. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The focus here is timely, accessible, well-rounded care and convenience for patients,â&#x20AC;? explained Dr.

THE TOUR DE WHITE ROCK PRESENTS:
GET FIT. GET STARTED!
Spring inspires us to make changes. We want to be our best so we can make the most of our time, the warmer weather and the great outdoors. We want to “get fit.” Although we’re usually sincere and have a wide variety of reasons for doing so, we don’t always succeed. Make this the year that you achieve your fitness dreams! Before beginning an exercise program, advise your doctor that you are embarking on new activities. Safety first. Think about what type of exercise and activities you enjoy. If you choose something you don’t like, you won’t continue or succeed. Do you enjoy the social aspect of exercise and recreation? Consider joining a group program in a gym. Maybe a hiking group, cycling club, rowing lessons. If you are more independent, consider a personal trainer, small group training or a more solitary type of exercise. You can plug in your music, hit the weight room, cycle in the forest, paddle along the beach, jog beside a waterfowl park and do your own thing at your own pace. Goal Setting is the first step. Your goals must be S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound).

Being “fit” means different things to different people. Here are some tips to get you started: Do you want to lose fat? Walk faster? Farther? Recover from, or prevent illness? Walk 18 holes on the golf course? Be able to spend more time in the garden or on the tennis court? Look and feel better in your summer clothes? Now that you have something specific in mind, find a safe, effective starting point. Measure your current strength, speed, weight, endurance, etc. so you can re-measure your progress in a couple of months. Consider a Basic Fitness Assessment. Don’t expect to see changes in a week. Measurable changes take a month or two. Be patient. Choose the correct type of exercise. Indoors or outdoors? Maybe you’ll need the advice of a trainer. Or find a good book with current information on what to do and how. Do you need aerobic exercise? Should you be strength training? Functional exercises are practical, often use your own body weight and ultimately train you for the specific activities that you are trying to improve. Decide how often you’ll be able to exercise so you can enjoy improvements - but be realistic. Two times a week is a good start. If you do too much too soon you’re setting yourself up for failure. How much time can you spend? With the right exercises and intensity, 30 to 45 minutes is often enough. Get the proper gear so you can avoid excuses. Footwear that fits you properly is essential. A suitable bicycle in good condition is a must. Do you have rain gear that will allow you to get out rain or shine? A watch, a pedometer, an iPod? A good stretching routine following exercise is essential. Not only does it improve your flexibility, decrease muscle soreness and prevent injuries, it can be your relaxing reward for a job well done!

Senior boys side to battle St. George’s in quarter-finals of B.C. rugby championships
Mariners are ‘a team to be scared of’ Nick Greenizan
T
Sports Reporter
he Earl Marriott Mariners are through to the quarter-final round of B.C. High School senior boys AAA rugby provincials after a 33-16 victory Saturday over the South Kamloops Titans. And though they’ll have to knock off one of the province’s powerhouse programs – Vancouver’s St. George’s Saints – Wednesday in order to advance to the final four, EMS coach Adam Roberts is confident his fifth-ranked Mariners can pull it off. “They’re always one of the best teams in the province, and the boys are pretty pumped up to play those guys,” said Roberts. “We’ve been basically a fifth-ranked team for the last couple years, and it’s time for us to break through into the top four. Our guys really want Earl Marriott to be one of B.C.’s powerhouse teams, and if we play our best rugby, we can beat anybody. “We are a team that people ❝We just have to should be scared of.” The fourth-seeded Saints go out there and are in the second round after continue to play dispatching the only other hard… I think Peninsula squad at B.C. we’ll give them championships; they knocked off the Semiahmoo Totems, a good run.❞ seeded 13th, 46-17 Saturday. Adam Roberts The Mariners and Saints Earl Marriott have yet to cross paths this season, but Roberts knows the Vancouver private school boasts a physical pack of forwards, which is something the Mariners should be ready for after Saturday’s win over South Kamloops. “South Kamloops really came at us hard – they don’t play the most skilled style of rugby up there, but man, they play tough and deserve a ton of credit for the way they played,” Roberts said. “They just come at you like wild banshees.” South Kamloops took a six-point lead on the Mariners early in Saturday’s tilt – “We still had the bus legs,” said Roberts of his team’s slow start – but the Mariners caught up soon after, once the fatigue of the three-hour trip to Kamloops wore off. Connor Bouchard led the way with two tries, with others credited to Dan Lee, Liam Beaulieu and Nathan Muir. Quinton Wilms was three-for-five on conversion attempts. If the Mariners are to get past St. George’s in today’s quarter-final – which will be played at 4 p.m. at Abbotsford Rotary Stadium – they’ll not only need to withstand St. George’s physical game, but also stay positive if they find themselves trailing at any point, Roberts said. “There’s been a few times earlier where the guys would sort of hang their heads a little bit if we’d get down early, but as the season’s gone on, they’ve been better and really showed some resilience,” he said. “I think in that respect, this has really been a good character-building season for us. We just have to go out there and continue to play hard… I think we’ll give them a good run.” Quarter-finals are held today in Abbotsford, with semifinal action set for Thursday and finals Saturday.

Masters swimming pair score medals at nationals
Kathy Graham
Aart Looye
A pair of White Rock masters swimmers excelled last week in Montreal, claiming medals at 2011 Masters National Swim Championships. Aart Looye and Kathy Graham each found themselves on the podium numerous times. Looye won silver in two relay events – the 4x50 men’s medley and the
mixed 4x50 medley – and also scooped bronze in the 50- and 100-m backstroke, as well as another men’s relay race. He was also sixth in the 200-m back and 10th in the 50-m freestyle. He competed in a handful of other events – four different distances of the men’s freestyle – but finished “out of the
money.” “I was getting leg cramps on the dive into the water and basically had to stop,” Looye said. “Very frustrating to say the least.” Graham also had a successful trip east, finishing with a silver medal in the 200-m butterfly, and bronze medals in both the
50-m back and 400-m individual medley. She was also fourth in the 100-m butterfly, sixth in the 100and 200-m back and seventh in the 50-m butterfly. More than 1,100 swimmers competed at the meet, which capped off the spring masters swimming season. - Nick Greenizan

PUZZLE NO. 558
Some of the B.C. Hockey League’s biggest rivalries will be rekindled next season, now that the league’s board of governors has approved the sale and relocation of the Quesnel Millionaires. The Mills will play next season in Chilliwack and be called the Chiefs, while the team formerly known as the Chiefs – who’ve played out of Langley since 2006 – is now known as the Rivermen since being sold last month. The move brings to four the number of Lower Mainland-based BCHL squads, with Chilliwack – which earlier this spring lost its Western Hockey League team to Victoria – joining the Surrey Eagles, Coquitlam Express and Langley Rivermen. Former Langley Chiefs head coach/ GM Harvey Smyl will move back to Chilliwack and coach the new Chiefs squad.

A new community tennis program aimed at children 12-andunder is set to take centre court in Surrey later this month. The Little Aces program officially launches at an event June 11, 1-3 p.m. at Guildford Town Centre, and is designed to introduce tennis to children – both able-bodied and in wheelchairs – at an early age. The program is run in partnership with Tennis Canada, Tennis BC, the City of Surrey and Surrey School District as well as local tennis clubs. In the fall, the club will work with the school district to include tennis into the physical education curriculum. The June 11 launch will see mini courts set up at the mall, with plenty of games, activities and lessons planned. Three of the country’s top wheelchair tennis players – including White Rock’s Sarah Hunter, who is currently the fifthranked quad division player in the world – will be in attendance. For more on the program, visit www. tennisbc.org and find the Little Aces link

‘Gades power through competition what’s Three White Rock Renegades found themselves in championship finals at their own tournament – the Canadian Pride and Power Classic – earlier this month at Softball City and Cloverdale Athletic Park. The White Rock Renegades ’99 finished in second to the Ridge Meadows Pride ’99s in the squirt-division tournament, while the midget division featured an all-White Rock matchup, as the White Rock Renegades ’94 edged their ’93-born mates in the title game. En route to the squirt-division final tilt, the ’99s beat the Richmond Islanders ’99 in semifinal action, as well as the Ridge Meadows Pride ’00 and the 2000-born Islanders. In the midget tourney, the champion ’93s edged the Richmond Islanders ’93, the Victoria Devils and Ridge Meadows Pride ’94. In the bantam division, Delta Heat ’96 defeated the Richmond Islanders ’95 for the crown, while the peewee division was won by the Heat ’97

A true golf superstore W
hile there are plenty of options on the Semiahmoo Peninsula when it comes to finding a pristine, challenging golf course to play, there’s one stop every golfer should make before heading out onto the links this season. Golf Town at Morgan Crossing is a true “golf superstore,” where experts and newbies alike can find everything they need to stay on top of their game. As leaders, innovators and lovers of golf, the staff at Golf Town are well-versed in the latest and greatest in technology, according to general
manager Sean McLeod. As an example, McLeod points to the TaylorMade R11 driver, which has been a best-seller so far this year at the South Surrey store. “It can fix anybody’s game,” McLeod said. “It has an adjustable head, which means you can change the club to adjust to any player’s swing.” Another gadget that can add some ease to the game is a GPS rangefinder, and at Golf Town, you can be sure to find the newest and best selection of these fun gizmos. � see page 34
