‘He got along with everyone’

Comfort for cancer patients A survivor and her therapy dog lift spirits at Fraser Valley Centre

Slain teen’s father struggles to cope with son’s murder

by Boaz Joseph

by Kevin Diakiw HE WAS a soft-spoken teen who had recently embraced

his Haida roots. With eight-per-cent body fat, martial arts enthusiast Devon Allaire-Bell may have looked like a warrior, but he wouldn’t raise a hand unless it was in self-defence, according to his dad. “He got along with everyone, he had a smile for everyone,” Wayne Bell told The Leader Wednesday. “He was the kind of kid that when I came home from work, every day, he had the same question for me: ‘How was work dad?’ ” On Sunday night, 19-yearold Allaire-Bell and his life-long pal Jack Neilsen were at Frank Hurt Secondary School, near 138 Street and 77 Avenue, drinking and playing soccer. Six males confronted the pair, drew a knife and stabbed them. Allaire-Bell died shortly after and Nielsen remains in serious condition in hospital. Investigators believe the six Devon Allaire-Bell suspects fled southwest on foot through a greenbelt that leads onto 76 Avenue. The suspects are all described as young South Asian males, dressed in dark clothing and thought to be approximately 20 years of age. Bell believes if a weapon wasn’t involved, the scrap would have had an entirely different outcome. Allaire-Bell was involved in mixed-martial arts and was athletic, with interests in parkour, boxing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai fighting. See INVESTIGATORS / Page 3

Man killed in Surrey road rage incident

Canucks fans on council Surrey council members (from left) Bob Bose, Barbara Steele, Judy Villeneuve, Linda Hepner, Mayor Dianne Watts, Tom Gill, Barinder Rasode and Marvin Hunt show their support for the Vancouver Canucks, who advanced into the second round of the NHL playoffs with a Game 7 overtime win Tuesday night against the Chicago Blackhawks.

30-year-old shot to death; suspect speeds away in white SUV Black Press POLICE ARE asking the public for any information after a Surrey man was shot and killed during an apparent road rage confrontation Wednesday night. The incident happened just before 11 p.m. near 128 Street and 68 Avenue. Homicide investigators are calling on witnesses who may have seen a white SUV – possibly a Ford Explorer – driving erratically in the area at the time. The victim is a 30-year-old Surrey man who police say got out of his Lexus to confront the driver of a white SUV after it crossed the centre line and caused minor damage to the Lexus. The man was shot, perhaps several times. A witness told media he heard at least six shots just after 11 p.m. Cpl. Dale Carr with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said the man was pronounced dead later in hospital. The vehicle police are looking for sped away from the scene. “The driver is described as a South Asian male, driving a white SUV, thought to be a Ford Explorer, with a silver trim along the bottom,” Carr said. Police said it’s too early to say whether the shooter is connected to drugs or gangs. Traffic north and southbound on 128 Street was disrupted Thursday morning between 68 and 70 Avenues while investigators and forensics experts combed the scene for evidence. Anyone in the area at the time of the shooting is asked to call 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

How Justin Vasey finally got his headstone Murdered Surrey teen’s memorial funded by RCMP, Delta municipal employees and Leader readers by Dan Ferguson THE SIMPLE, dignified granite headstone is located at block 131, lot 23 of the Boundary Bay Cemetery in Tsawwassen. It says “In Loving Memory of Of Justin Vasey” and bears the date of his birth, Jan 29, 1994, and death, Feb 25, 2008. It was installed with the approval of Vasey’s grandfather in March, more than two years after the murdered Surrey teen was laid to rest in the South Delta cemetery, where the Ministry of Children and Families happened to have an available plot for a child in foster care. Dozens of people contributed to the memorial marker, among them RCMP officers and support staff at IHIT, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team which helped obtain the conviction of four people in Vasey’s death. A total of $1,923.50 was raised after a Leader story about the case disclosed the lack of headstone, about $1,100 of it from IHIT, the Surey-based forensic identification section and local detachment. The rest was raised by staff at Delta city hall and 17 individuals who contacted the municipality after they read the story. The black gravestone was provided at cost by the Surrey Monument Company, which charged $904. The remaining funds will be used by the municipality to honour Justin Vasey in some way, possibly through a contribution to an appropriate charity or youth program. There are also tentative plans to hold a recognition ceremony for the people who stepped forward to help. The story about Vasey (‘A lamb among wolves’), was the first detailed account of how

before he died, all that changed. He seemed to suddenly spiral into despair, developing an attitude that nothing mattered. Justin started staying out late and his grades plummeted. He began hanging out with a group of older teens who included Jordan George, Jade Pollard and Danielle Wood-Sinclair. None were students at his school. All were far more damaged and dangerous than the younger, naive Justin. “He was a lamb among wolves,” IHIT spokesman Cpl. Dale Carr said. On the evening Justin Vasey died, he was hanging out with a group of young people at an abandoned, graffiti-covered singlestorey house, drinking shoplifted vodka. It appears Justin made some comment about his father punching First Nations people, trying to mimic the trash talk he heard the three teens and Cody Pelletier, all of them aboriginals, express to one another. It led to a swarming attack. All four kicked Justin, punching him, stomping on him and hitting him with a brick, a pylon and a metal stereo left in the abandoned house as he begged them to stop. Then Cody passed out from the vodka and the violence escalated. Two other teens were present but did not take part in the attack. One, a boy identified in court as J.J. was carrying a knife. Jordan took J.J’s knife and used it to stab Justin. Then Danielle and Jade took the same knife. They talked about the location of organs as they wielded the blade, including the location of the “big artery.” Justin was stabbed eight times, four of which were life-threatening, once with enough

ABOUT 2,500 people descended

Food and wine: Fundraiser to pay for construction of quiet room From page 1 While Lara is on the job in the red vest and white bandana of a certified therapy dog from St. John Ambulance, she’s also the pet of McLaren, a 36-year-old cancer survivor and former patient at the centre. McLaren, diagnosed with breast cancer in December 2005, was treated over the next several months in the place she now visits with Lara each Wednesday morning. At the time she underwent cancer treatment, there were few support resources available to patients, she says. There was no library, almost nothing to read and no comfort cart like there is now. “You came here, you talked to your doctor, you got your treatment – it wasn’t the warm-andfuzzies. There was no place if you were having a bad moment to walk away or for a caregiver to go away and just breathe.” After McLaren finished her treatment, she heard about the need for therapy dogs – at a time when support services were ramping up at the BC Cancer Agency. “I decided I had the perfect dog for it and I was the perfect fit for it because I’ve been here – I’ve walked in these shoes, so why not give back?” Petting Lara gives the patients and caregivers a timeout from the present, a welcome moment of relaxation in the tense atmosphere. “When the dog walks into the centre, it’s almost like there’s an audible sigh,” says Ellen Suarez, regional coordinator of Volunteer Services at the Fraser Valley Centre. Even the staff is affected, adds Suarez. McLaren, for her part, gives patients someone to talk to who isn’t their primary care provider or family. They’re a two-person therapy team. “I’m giving them hope because I’m a survivor, and I think my dog brings them maybe 30 seconds of not having to be in their head why they’re here.”

McLaren says it’s amazing to watch the reactions from patients. “To be honest, having to be a patient here, it sucks. You’re dealing with life and death. It’s hard on the patient and the family, and if Lara and I can bring that smile, or that relief or that time in notin-Cancerland, then I am so happy.” McLaren tells the story of how Lara assertively approached a woman who was undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. McLaren was fully prepared to pull Lara back if the patient was uncomfortable with the attention. “Lara went right to the cancer spot and started nudging and the lady just grabbed on and said, ‘Help me, help me. Help me heal.’ “ McLaren and Lara met another woman undergoing chemotherapy. “My poor children, my poor children, what are they going to do without a mother?” she cried. When Lara sat in front of her, the woman suddenly grabbed the dog by the skin, brought her in, and took a deep breath. “Yes, I can do this now,” she said. McLaren, a former patient herself, is six months away from a five-year cancer-free status. • Want to help support the Fraser Valley Centre and enjoy a little vino at the same time?

Meth lab causes North Surrey evacuation A SQUARE BLOCK of Whalley was evacuated Wednesday afternoon as a home nearby began spewing chemical fumes from a clandestine lab used to make methamphetamine. At about noon Wednesday, firefighters responded to what was thought to be a fire at 134 Street and 111A Avenue. The resident of the home met fire crews at the front of the house and said there was nothing to worry about and suggested they should just move on.

As of 2 p.m., crews were still waiting for the chemical plumes to subside. Residents were allowed to return to their homes by Wednesday night. Police continue to look for the man from the home, described as an Asian male between 30 and 40 years old.

Dial-a-dope line shut down Six Delta residents arrested Black Press A DELTA police investigation revealed a “dial-a-dope” line targeting South Deltans and people living on Tsawwassen First Nation land. In a media release, Sgt. Sharlene Brooks said the department started an investigative project targeting street-level drug trafficking in December 2010.

As a result of the initiative, police executed a search warrant in January that resulted in the seizure of cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, psilocybin (mushrooms) as well as cash and drug-related paraphernalia. As well, six people from Delta were arrested and now face a total of 21 charges related to the Controlled Drug and Substances Act: Lucas William

Robinson, 26, Jordan Brandon Thompson, 23, Matthew Douglas Prasad, 25, Brittany Nattrass, 35, Daniel Itterman, 35, and Alex Weiner, 36. Brooks said the primary drug being distributed was cocaine, and that it appears the “dial-adope” line has been shut down as a result of the investigation. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Incineration: Emotional debate From page 8 In an interview with Black Press, Lange also addressed the contentious issue of waste-toenergy plants, which dominated Metro hearings on the proposed new solid waste plan last spring. New York planned to put a garbage incinerator in each of the five boroughs, starting with Brooklyn, but that strategy was dropped in the mid-1990s in the face of fierce political opposition. But Lange predicts the issue is coming back sooner or later, adding New York continues to study waste-to-energy options. He doesn’t expect it will be any less controversial than in Metro Vancouver, where the proposed solid waste plan awaiting approval by the province would allow increased garbage incineration despite vocal protests from opponents, particularly in the Fraser Valley. “Your debate, like our debate in New York

City, is not based on science, it’s based on emotion,” Lange said. “And that’s not usually a good basis for making public policy.” Lange has also looked at more modern wasteto-energy technologies, which are touted by proponents as much less polluting than traditional mass-burn incinerators like Metro’s existing burner in Burnaby. But he said such technologies are unproven at handling anything more than 500 tonnes of garbage per day – a tiny fraction of the 11,000 tonnes per day New Yorkers toss out. New York ships its garbage to distant out-ofstate landfills in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He said the city has also looked at composting garbage – not just organics but with plastics, wood and everything else mixed in. The resulting compost isn’t usable in agriculture, but Lange said there are other potential markets. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Music marathon coming to Surrey in 2012 Organizer plans to have a band every mile

by Kevin Diakiw PLANS ARE in the works to bring an international marathon to Surrey. Elizabeth Model,

executive director for the Downtown Surrey BIA, began working on the idea some time ago and is ready to bring the concept to city council in a week.

The Surrey International Music Marathon is planned for Sept. 30, 2012. “We will have different cultural bands at each mile,” Model said. “We

could have a Jamaican mile, a Chinese Mile, a South Asian mile, do things a little differently.” The route hasn’t been approved yet, but Model said it will be starting and

finishing at Central City. “It will encompass some of the really nice areas of Surrey and some of the nice parks that we have,” Model said. Model, who has run

22 marathons and 25 ultramarathons, began working on the idea about a year ago, and says she’ll be running the Surrey International Music Marathon next year.

Pooch parade May 1 Rotary Club fundraiser aims for new stadium at South Surrey Athletic Park by Boaz Joseph

S U R R E Y PA R K S T R O L L E R S

IF EVERY dog has his day, shouldn’t sports fans too?

Strolling through your neighbourhood park rain or shine

That’s the thought behind Pooch Parade on the Peninsula. If organizers have their way, the May 1 event at South Surrey Athletic Park will help fund a future sports stadium at the southwest corner of the park. “We lost the Big Kahuna (Rams) guys to Langley because we don’t have a stadium,” says Winston Conyers, secretary of the Rotary Club of White Rock Peninsula. For a $15 donation, participants, who will receive goodie bags, can parade their dog around South Surrey Athletic Park anytime from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event will include booths from local dog-based businesses, as well as entertainment such as dancing dogs. Conyers says money collected will be split between the stadium project (50 per cent), a donation to Semiahmoo Animal League, Inc. and other Rotary Club projects. The stadium is still early in the planning stages, but would have bleachers, a concession stand, washrooms, and storage facilities that would replace the metal bins that are currently used for storage by local sports teams. Conyers says those bins are often broken into, and new storage rooms under the stadium would be more secure. For more information about the Pooch Parade on the Peninsula, visit www. pponthep.ca

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

It’s the NHL playoffs! Have you contracted a serious case of Canucks fever? Here’s how you responded: Yes 40% No 60% PASTIMES

Walking the good life

o you walk? In a world that rushes to embrace the latest fitness craze, whether it’s spinning, boxercise or hot yoga, walking’s often dismissed as dull, or exclusive to the elderly, the physical equivalent of doing crosswords to keep the brain sharp. But take a stroll with me a moment as I make a case that it’s not only a great pursuit, but arguably one of the best things humans stumbled into since their knuckle-dragging days. If spring ever arrives – did it skip a year? – and the sun stays long enough to warm the air, the streets will suddenly spring to life as neighbours venture out to walk. As they tread along, they’ll find an array of fantastic benefits. Walk long enough and it’s a stress buster, aids weight loss and releases endorphins – a fantastic, guilt-free drug. Ever get depressed? Go for walk. Dealing with grief? It’s possible to walk your way through the pain and to a new start. Just stick with it. Need creative inspiration? Pose the question and let it percolate as you move your limbs. Insight is often around the next bend. Need to talk to someone about a touchy subject? Convince them to hit Chris the sidewalk. It’s surprising how by putting one foot in front of the other, eyes focused in the same direction, the impasse suddenly becomes manageable. It can be spiritual. Pilgrims have long sought connection to God through walking. Average folks stumble into that, too, if they do it long enough. Many have reported as much after doing the Way of St. James, also known as Camino de Santiago de Compostela, a pilgrimage across northern Spain that people have done for more than 1,000 years. Many say walking has cleared the clutter in their minds and helped them find focus and meaning. If that sounds like a load of baloney, why not take a walk to ease your digestion? Walking is virtually universal.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

SURREY RCMP

You don’t have to be beautiful, petite, or have a six pack to start. You don’t need $600 equipment or $20 for a class. It doesn’t have to be sunny, and thankfully, it doesn’t even need to be spring. In my life, I’ve had good walking role models. My parents love to walk, and theirs is the meandering style. They have an enviable curiosity about everything, and seem to know the name of every flower and bird. My in-laws walked across England a few years ago, from pub to pub, and called it the adventure of a lifetime. Like most physical activities, it can become addictive. In my adult life, everywhere I’ve lived I’ve instinctively sought a route, and always an alternate, longer one for the days they’re needed. After dinner has always been a favourite time. No matter how stressful the day, just by walking and keeping at it for a while – and some days a while is quite a long time – there’s the tangible lift. A feeling that the body and mind have been soothed. Some say there’s also a benefit to walking away from your home. With each step, there’s respite, a greater distance from bills, home repairs, family feuds. It’s like a 30-minute Club Med break when you can’t do the real thing. Bryan Walk your neighbourhood and there’s always something to see. New houses going up, or renovations. New gardens planted. New faces. Think about it: Where would you rather live, a Florida suburb where everyone drives and gets their exercise on a bike in front of the TV? Or in a Tuscan town, where everyone comes out in the evening for promenade. Or as it’s called in Italian, la passeggiata. Or in English: good living.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 13

Police let down by the judges themselves Confront the suite problem

THE STORY IN the Leader’s April 15 issue, a story

in the Justice Denied series talks about underfunding. But to me what is much more important is the article by Sheila Reynolds on page 12: “Strip search illegal, charges dropped.” Judge Peder Gulbransen found that a strip search by police in the back of a police van was done illegally, even though the officer had a valid reason for doing so. The drugs were found on this accused drug

trafficker, but were not allowed as evidence. There was also evidence on a cell phone deemed insufficient. We as taxpayers are paying taxes to protect our families from criminal activity. The police were doing their job, and they were kind enough to offer the suspect the privacy of the van. Makes you wonder about the integrity of the judge. Other judges are allowing endless delays in cases, even though they know the defence is doing so to get more two-for-one time served

for the guilty. All of the court activity and treatment of the criminal is to protect their rights. Makes you wonder about the rights of the taxpayer to get the law and order they are asking for and paying for. There is also the issue of the repeat offenders being released within hours of being caught again and again. Is the whole system corrupt?

Mike Bowyer, Surrey

Tolls keeping drivers away AS SOMEONE that has occasion

to use the Golden Ears crossing through various hours of the day as part of my job, I found the TransLink figure of 25,000 crossings per day a little hard to believe until I did the math. That number divided by 24 hours equals 1,042 crossings per hour divided by 60 minutes. It equals 18 crossings per minute (figures rounded up). Split both ways, it’s nine crossings in each direction every minute, which is about one car every seven seconds in each direction. That is a little more in synch with my experiences, as no matter what time of day I use the bridge, it seems like a massive waste of resources for the amount of vehicles on the bridge. It always seems empty. TransLink’s experiment of lowering the toll in off-peak hours to attract users seems like a halfbaked wasted effort. Commuters are well aware of the convenience of the bridge as numbers were far greater during the free grace period when the bridge first opened. The bottom line is drivers will take the free alternative every time as opposed to doling out thousands of dollars a year for the privilege of using the new crossing. If TransLink is serious about increasing traffic on the new crossing, why not decrease the tolls to a level that actually encourage people to take the shorter route. I predict that usage will triple or more if the toll is set at a dollar each way, more than making up for the decreased income from reduced tolls, not to mention decreased volume and pollution on the Port Mann – at least until they start tolling it and making it the only tolled portion

Letter writers complain of unfair – and ultimately unproﬁtable – tolling practices on the Golden Ears Bridge. of the Trans-Canada Highway in the country. Of course, then volumes on the Pattullo, Alex Fraser, and George Massey tunnel will increase. I have never paid a toll to cross the river and never will as long as there is an alternative. The only losers will be the businesses of Maple Ridge I will no longer patronize. The citizens south of the Fraser River do not deserve to be held hostage by TransLink and their tolls, while the elite travel to Whistler on their new highway, toll free. Rick Javens Surrey

Why are just locals tolled? TRANSLINK spokesman Ken Hardie

continues to make excuses as to why the expected numbers of crossings on the Golden Ears Bridge is not up to expected projections. As I remember, it was stated after the original tolling was proposed, that vehicles registered out of province would not pay tolls. Apparently, the powers that be were unwilling, or the technology was not available, to track out-ofprovince registered vehicles. This means that commercial hauling semis, many registered in Alberta or the U.S., are not required to pay a toll, only those B.C. vehicles registered in B.C. pay tolls.

I would hazard a guess that many of those vehicles crossing the Golden Ears Bridge are non registered in B.C. Does TransLink do a count of how many B.C-licensed vehicles compared to out-ofprovince licensed vehicles cross the Golden Ears Bridge? Anywhere I have travelled , in the U.S. or Mexico, everyone must pay a toll whether you are a visitor or a local. Only in B.C. are we held hostage by our provincial government. I’m wondering if the new Port Mann Bridge is set up the same way – out-of-province registered vehicles will not pay tolls. David Hammer, Surrey

IN THE LAST few months, there

have been numerous letters complaining about the lack of enforcement of pre-existing secondary suite bylaws. Not surprisingly, the new bylaw asking people to get “permits” for secondary suites in their houses has been a failure, so people are now lamenting that as well. However, the underlying problem regarding the controversy over illegal suites is that nobody wants to address the elephant in the room. If we’re going to get to the root of the problem, we need to act like adults and admit that race plays a major role in the city’s inability to enforce the law. Let’s be honest, many of the secondary suites tend to be owned by one ethnic group. It seems to me that the city is petrified that it will look like it is singling out and discriminating against one ethnic group if it cracks down on secondary suites. This may sound politically incorrect, but I honestly feel that the owners of illegal suites sense the “white-liberal guilt” of city council and continue to ignore the bylaws because they know that the city will never make a sincere effort to stop them. I’ve lived in Surrey for a number of years and I’ve sensed racial resentments and anger simmering beneath the surface as one racial group seems to get a free pass when it comes to obeying the bylaws. The owners of illegal suites get to pad their incomes (tax free) while other citizens have to work even harder and sacrifice in order to make ends meet. The owners, of course, claim that they need to accommodate “extended families” as part of their culture, but by now most people in Surrey know that’s not really the true intention behind building large homes with suites. If we’re going to solve this problem, we need to be completely honest and get everything out on the table. For the good of the entire community, the city needs to make a tougher stand against illegal suites before the problem worsens and resentments finally explode. Mohammed Sahib, Surrey

Don’t push buttons in public

RE: “F-BOMB BUTTON wearer booted off SkyTrain,” The Leader, April 13.

Ms. Wharf had a response regarding her wearing of her fashion statement button: “I’m a big girl. I’m 21 years old – and I can dress however the hell I want.” This may appear true to Ms. Wharf, but what she has not yet realized is that when you live in a society where people are affected by what you do, you cannot do anything you want; you need to consider the effect of your actions on people. The SkyTrain is a very public place and riders are constantly being bombarded with evidence of free expression, whether it is putting up with strong odours, private cellphone conversations, or manners of dress and political statements.

‘Top 10’ car thief suspect arrested On crime team’s Most Wanted list Black Press ONE OF the province’s alleged most

prolific car thieves has been arrested. On April 19, officers with the Surrey RCMP Auto Crime Target Team arrested Mark Forrest along with his associate Desiree Belisle after watching two people strip down an older-model Honda Accord, which was reported stolen out of White Rock earlier in the day. Police surveillance continued as the pair went to an

automotive shop in the 19300 block of Enterprise Way, with the vehicle parts in tow. The man and woman were arrested without incident. Both Forrest and Belisle are in custody facing a number of stolen property and theft charges. Forrest was listed as one of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team’s “Top 10 Most Wanted” car theft suspects before his arrest.

Man’s leg severed on train tracks Public must be ‘super vigilant,’ police say by Tracy Holmes REPEATED ATTEMPTS to alert a pedestrian walking on the train tracks in White

Rock last Friday afternoon failed to avert tragedy. The 41-year-old Surrey man was struck from behind by a westbound freight train in the 13800 block south of Marine Drive shortly after 1:30 p.m. April 22, losing his left leg between the knee and ankle. Police say crew on the 104-car BNSF train sounded the horn “numerous” times in an effort to warn the pedestrian of the impending danger. “The train was blaring, blaring, blaring its horn,” said Cpl. Nina Phillipson, the lead investigator on the file. It is believed the man was listening to music on headphones, and did not hear the train coming, Phillipson said. Police have yet to speak with the man directly, but do not believe alcohol played a role in the incident. They have also ruled out a suicide attempt, Phillipson said. “We suspect he was just walking down the tracks.” The man’s severed appendage was recovered and he was airlifted from the beach to Royal Columbian Hospital, where he was last listed in stable condition. Phillipson did not know if doctors were able to reattach the severed limb. Phillipson said the incident is a reminder to people visiting the beach to be “super vigilant” near the tracks. “Not only is it against the law, it is so dangerous,” she said.

‘Big Smoke’ not killing sockeye, report says Efﬂuent, habitat gains don’t mesh with salmon decline by Jeff Nagel DESPITE A burgeoning Lower

Mainland population and an ongoing development boom, researchers have found no evidence that localized pollution or habitat damage is a major factor in the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon. In fact, they argue habitat along the lower Fraser and in the Strait of Georgia has improved over the past two decades, thanks to tightened industrial, development and discharge regulations. That’s the core finding of a technical study commissioned by the Cohen Inquiry into the sockeye decline and led by Dr. Mark Johannes of Golder and Associates. Researchers looked at population – which rose 150 per cent over the 1990 to 2010 study period – as well as impacts from farming, forestry, industry, sewage discharges, shipping traffic and river dredging and diking. The heavier human footprint on southwestern B.C. through urbanization and other actions has not translated into more pollution in the receiving waters, they found. “Contaminants in the Strait of

Georgia show a general improvement over time, with decreases associated with effluent regulation and improved treatment in recent years,” the study report said, pointing to better treatment of sewage by Metro Vancouver before it’s released. Construction that disturbs fish habitat is also better regulated, it said, resulting in net habitat gains in the Fraser estuary due to the duty of developers to enhance or replace damaged areas. Juvenile sockeye swim through the lower river, its estuary and out into the Salish Sea before heading deeper into the Pacific Ocean. During that transition period, they’re sensitive to changes in water properties and levels of food, competitors and predators. Migrating sockeye historically faced “moderate to severe” harm from human activities, the study noted. “But these impacts have not been generally observed during the last two decades and importantly, these impacts have not been observed to coincide with the decline of Fraser River sockeye.” The authors noted that sockeye use the lower river only for a

period of days while migrating. They caution their conclusions regarding sockeye don’t necessarily apply to other species in the river or offshore – particularly ones that spend more time in the area than sockeye. There’s still plenty of room for improvement on habitat protection and control of discharges, the report said. Victoria still dumps raw sewage in the ocean although it is planning an upgrade and Metro Vancouver is planning costly upgrades to bring two of its plants with primary treatment up to the secondary level. But the report warned climate change and diminishing space near the river and its tributaries is making it more challenging to achieve habitat gains that can compensate for losses. The study is one of a series of 12 technical reports being prepared by the commission. The Cohen commission was named after the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run, when just over a million fish returned, about a tenth the expected number. jnagel@surreyleader.com

concept plan for the SFPR – a four-lane highway currently under construction that will connect Deltaport with major highways – included an intersection at 80 Street in Tilbury and an interchange near 96 Street in the Sunbury area. An air quality assessment was done in September 2006 based on that design. The most recent plan now includes signalized intersections at both locations – a change that has the committee concerned about the potential increase in air pollution. “Everybody I know of is aghast they are thinking of putting in intersections rather than interchanges,” said Coun. Bruce McDonald, chair of the Environment Advisory Committee. The committee has asked Delta council to

request a new, updated air quality assessment from Gateway based on the new plan. “We were talking about the impact it has if you put intersections where you have people decelerating, accelerating, idling, braking, et cetera, et cetera,” McDonald said. “What impact does that have on this air model we’re supposedly working on? “I would think it would have a fair impact, just because blowing through on any kind of a motor that is running smoothly is not going to produce the same kind of pollutants and volumes of outputs as decelerating and accelerating.” The Delta Chamber of Commerce has also expressed its opposition to traffic lights along the SFPR. It has stated the effec-

“We were talking about the impact it has if you put intersections where you have people decelerating, accelerating, idling, braking, et cetera...” Coun. Bruce McDonald tiveness of the SFPR could be “significantly compromised” if it opens with intersections in the Tilbury industrial park and Sunbury area. “Large commercial

vehicles of 70 feet or more in length, especially when fully loaded, need dedicated acceleration and deceleration lanes to permit their safe operation in this system,” the chamber has stated. “Without those features, which require an interchange configuration, the financial and environmental costs of businesses and the community most certainly will be higher than they could be.” When asked what the municipality would do if Gateway did conduct a new air quality assessment and the results were deemed unacceptable, McDonald said, “It’s just one more argument, one more arrow in the quiver, I guess. We’ve been agitating and advocating this not occur.” reporter@southdeltaleader.com

Much longer delay feared for Evergreen Line Deal on TransLink funding needed before fall municipal elections: Mayor by Jeff Nagel THE LONG-PROMISED Evergreen Line may

remain on ice for much of this year because TransLink has so far not even begun to prepare a financial supplement to fund its share. So says Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini, who takes it as a bad sign that more delays are likely on a $1.4-billion SkyTrain extension that was supposed to be under construction by now. The only missing piece of the puzzle is TransLink’s $400-million contribution. Metro Vancouver mayors are in talks with the provincial government on possible new mechanisms to raise money, potentially including an annual vehicle levy or road pricing. Trasolini said transportation minister Blair Lekstrom told mayors in a meeting this week the project will not proceed until TransLink’s share is delivered. But he said he’s hopeful because Lekstrom recommitted to an accord signed last year by his predecessor Shirley Bond and former premier Gordon Campbell pledging to negotiate new sustainable funding sources for regional transportation. The problem, he said, is that talks are now focused on finding an over-arching solution on long-term funding to pay for a variety of TransLink capital projects, including new rapid transit lines to Surrey and UBC. That may mean a simpler Evergreen Lineonly funding solution will be parked longer, he said. “It’s troubling to me that there is no supplemental plan specific to the Evergreen Line,” Trasolini said, referring to TransLink’s process of proposing expansion projects with tax or fee

The transportation ministry is now selecting a contractor and the project website says construction is slated to begin in late 2011, and be finished four years later. “I object to the northeast sector being the sacrificial lamb when everything is done,” Trasolini said. “The only thing missing is the TransLink $400-million and that is not happening.”

Coquitlam Mayor Richard Stewart said he, too, doubts TransLink will table a funding solution for the mayors to vote on anytime soon. But he said the meeting with Lekstrom was “quite fruitful” and he remains upbeat a shortterm agreement on the Evergreen Line can be reached soon, followed by a comprehensive long-term funding deal. “I think the province wants to break this logjam,” Stewart said. It’s critical, he said, to solve TransLink’s financial impasse before new councils are elected in each city this November. Stewart said he also believes the provincial government will want to celebrate an agreement securing major transit upgrades for the

future – not face continued discord – going into a provincial election some expect could come this fall. He said the province is already paying its third of the Evergreen Line and Metro cities understand they can’t expect Victoria to pay their third as well. “We have a project here that everyone agrees is our highest priority,” he said. “Let’s work with the province, identify the tools and move on.” Lekstrom said in an interview last Thursday he’s also hopeful a deal can be reached with Metro mayors soon. “I’m an optimist here,” he said. “The public really wants the service.” He wouldn’t discuss what funding sources he favours, but he said there are only a few that could reasonably work. A long-term answer is important, he said. “Every time a new project comes forward, I don’t think the mayors council or anybody wants to be back in the situation of saying ‘How do we raise the money?,’” Lekstrom said. TransLink recently hired four academics to advise the mayors council on potential new funding sources. TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said the TransLink board can’t prepare a supplement without a source of extra money the mayors and the province can support. “Right now, one does not exist,” he said. Besides new rapid transit lines, TransLink’s expansion wish list also includes running three SeaBuses and adding more buses, SkyTrain and West Coast Express cars. Mayors last fall refused to approve a property tax increase TransLink tabled to cover the Evergreen Line, instead opting to pursue talks on new mechanisms.

Drilling work done on costly Metro water tunnels

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken care of your home your whole life. Now let your home take care of you.

Key milestone for mega-project that went over budget by Jeff Nagel AFTER YEARS of litigation and major cost over-

runs for Metro Vancouver, drilling work is now finished on twin water tunnels deep inside Grouse Mountain. A tunnel boring machine broke through to daylight Friday morning, marking a key milestone in the $800-million Seymour-Capilano Filtration Project. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a moment of relief for Metro Vancouver politicians, who fired original tunneling contractor Bilfinger Berger after it halted work in early 2008, saying crews encountered unstable rock. Metro retendered the contract and a different firm finished the job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made great progress, despite some unexpected challenges,â&#x20AC;? Metro water committee chair Tim Stevenson said, referring to the tunneling delay. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Another contractor has completed the tunnel boring work, using the original engineering designs and the same tunnel boring machines as the former contractor.â&#x20AC;? The filtration plant itself started filtering water from the Seymour reservoir more than a year ago. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to take until 2013 before more additional work is done to complete the tunnels and begin filtering water from the Capilano reservoir as well. The cost of the tunnels went $170 million over the original budget, but Metro is suing Bilfinger

over the contract termination and could recover some costs if it wins a trial slated for late 2012. The tunnels are four metres in diameter and about seven kilometres long. The system, which also disinfects using ultraviolet light and chlorine, should eliminate rare bouts of turbid, cloudy water that sometimes occur when storms or mudslides stir up silt in the North Shore reservoirs. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s conflicting evidence as to whether the discoloured water at such times poses any real elevated health risk or just looks unappealing. The Seymour Capilano Filtration Project is one factor pushing up regional taxes and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also part of the reason Metro has been urging residents to use tap water rather than bottled water. Once Capilano is on stream, the plant will filter up to 1.8 billion litres of water a day, serving 70 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents. Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eastern suburbs get their water primarily from the Coquitlam source, rather than the North Shore. Work begins this summer on a $110-million ultraviolet light disinfection plant for the Coquitlam reservoir. That project is to be finished by late 2013, when advanced treatment should be in place for all three Metro reservoirs. The water projects are major factors driving up regional taxes and water fees. Metro water rates are expected to rise 40 per cent to $300 per household by 2015.

The majority of parents have chosen to relocate their children to neighbouring schools after the future of the program was thrown in question due to low enrolment numbers. “Most have decided to take advantage of having the opportunity to attend another school of their choice,” district spokesperson Doug Strachan said. The school, at 1880 Laronde Dr., will teach only SURREY LOCATION French immersion beginning this fall. The majority of the 72 students currently enrolled in the English program are to relocate to Ocean Cliff next year, with the rest having chosen Ray Shepherd or Chantrell Creek, Strachan said.

Delta Student scientist on world stage school budget approved by Hannah Sutherland

NICK JOHNSTON is putting the finishing

Trustees decide to use $1.2 million from reserve fund to address $3.9-million shortfall

BRIAN GIEBELHAUS / BLACK PRESS

Nick Johnston with his computer-aided telepathic communications project.

touches on his science project as he prepares to participate in the world’s largest international pre-college science competition May 8-13. The Grade 10 Semiahmoo Secondary student will travel to Los Angeles, Calif. next week for the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, where 1,600 Grade 9s-12s from 65 countries, regions and territories are to compete for more than $4 million US in scholarships and prizes. “It’s going to be quite amazing,” said Johnston, one of just two British Columbians to attend. “I haven’t been to an event like this – (it’s) quite a big deal.” Johnston will present the project he created to explore the communication of word and let-

ter combinations using brain waves, essentially allowing people to communicate without speaking. The project – called Computer-Aided Telepathic Communications – was one of 18 across the country selected by Youth Science Canada’s panel of 20 university faculty, industry researchers, educators and Team Canada alumni. It also won a gold medal at the regional science fair. Johnston said he was motivated to create an advanced project after making it to nationals last year with his experiment that tested the transfer of data over plant roots. He is now building a bigger project board to display at the event, and is working on his presentation. With ambitions to become an engineer, if he wins a monetary award, Johnston said he plans to put it towards his post-secondary education.

by Philip Raphael “THE CUPBOARD is now bare, except for the Arm

and Hammer box of baking soda.” Those were the words of Delta Board of Education Chair Dale Saip the day after Delta’s trustees voted April 26 to dip further into the district’s reserves when adopting the budget for the coming school year. Saip said trustees decided to almost double the $695,000 they had initially intended to use from the district’s reserve fund. In total, Delta has decided to use approximately $1.2 million to help address a funding shortfall estimated to run $3.49 million. Saip said the move is to address what he termed as “systemic under-funding of B.C.’s education system.” In the three previous years, Delta has had to trim its budget by $10.9 million. Much of that has been brought on by continued drops in school enrollment figures, something that forced the closure of two South Delta elementary schools two years ago. Increasing the amount of reserve funds will preserve five to six jobs, Saip said, and will be spread out over support and teaching staff in the special needs area. Dale Saip Previously, in order to balance the books, the district had proposed cutting 12 teaching positions and close to seven support staff. “The problem is with how education dollars are allocated,” Saip said, adding he is calling on the district and its partner groups – parent associations, the teaching association and support staff union – to join forces and present a united front to compel the provincial government to loosen the purse strings a little. Paul Steer, president of the Delta Teachers’ Association, said the chronic under-funding of B.C.’s classrooms is something that must be addressed if a quality education system is to be maintained, despite declining enrollment. Steer said he likened the situation to a car pooling arrangement with four participants. “If one of those four people drop out, the cost of traveling to and from work still remains but has to be shared by the three people now left in the car,” he said. Steer added Delta’s trustees have been as responsive to the financial crunch as they can be, given the scope of their influence in the system. He said the real impasse comes with getting the province to stop the “chronic under-funding of education” in B.C.

“The problem is with how education dollars are allocated.”

DRINKING WATER WEEK MAY1-7

Here in B.C. we often take our tap water for granted, but it is a ďŹ nite resource that we should value

at a glance

and protect.

Q 25% of Canadians have no idea where the water that ďŹ&#x201A;ows out of their taps comes from. Q Canadians use an average of 329 litres of water per day - twice the amount used by Europeans. However, the average Canadian thinks they use only 79 litres per day. Q Canadians admit to knowingly engaging in water wasting activities such as leaving the tap running

We need to value our drinking water industry and agriculture, and the effects of climate change all place enormous pressure on our water supply.â&#x20AC;? Drinking Water Week, May 1st - 7th, is dedicated to creating awareness of the value of our water, our water systems, and the people who make it accessible and safe for us to drink. Many communities throughout B.C. are holding events to celebrate Drinking Water Week, including hosting tours of their local reservoirs and treatment plants, and we encourage you to take the time to visit them. Check your local newspaper to find out about events in your community, or visit www.drinkingwaterweek. org for activities and educational resources provided by the BC Water & Waste Association.

while washing dishes (44%) and hosing down their driveways (19%).

Q Canadians are more concerned with saving electricity than water: 29% of Canadians donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what they pay for their water, but only 10% donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what they pay for their electricity bill. *Source: 2010 Canadian Water Attitudes Study, commissioned by RBC and Unilever Canada

Tips for conserving water:

DRINKING WATER WEEK MAY1-7

Q Take shorter showers Q Check your toilets and faucets for leaks Q Turn-off the water while brushing your teeth Q Purchase water-efďŹ cient appliances

BC Water & Waste Association and others who keep your water safe and clean, ask you to value our water and celebrate Drinking Water Week 2011. Visit: www.drinkingwaterweek.org

Q Wash your car with a bucket instead of a hose Q Install low-ďŹ&#x201A;ow toilets that use less water Q Use rain barrels

True and False: Test your water knowledge by trying our quiz. 1. British Columbians use less water each day compared to other Canadians. 2. Most indoor water use occurs in the bathroom. 3. It does not matter what we put down our drains, as all of our wastewater gets treated in B.C.

Q Install low-ďŹ&#x201A;ow shower heads

T__ F__ T__ F__ T__ F__

Q Avoid watering your lawn in the summer

ANSWERS: 1; F. British Columbia residents use an average of 490 litres of water per day compared to the national average of 329 litres. 2; T. We use 65% of our water in the bathroom, 20% for laundry, 10% for drinking and kitchen needs, and 5% for cleaning. 3; F. While it is true that most wastewater in B.C. is treated before it is returned to its source, we should be careful not to put harmful substances down our drains or in our gardens. These substances can harm fish and other aquatic creatures (check with your municipality to find out how to properly dispose of harsh chemicals).

When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out,do you ever stop to think: how does it get there? Who brings it you? Where does it end up when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re finished with it? BC Water & Waste Association and the Province of British Columbia have officially proclaimed Drinking Water Week May 1st to 7th, 2011. We invite you to celebrate this exciting week by â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting to know your H2Oâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including where it comes from, where it goes, and how you can protect and conserve it. Here in B.C., where we have an abundance of natural resources, we often take our tap water for granted. However, there is no such thing as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;new waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the water that we use continually cycles through the environment, and is reused again and again. British Columbians personally use an average of 490 litres of water per day compared to the Canadian average of 329 litres per day. That is about double what Europeans use! Although it may not be apparent to all of us, the costs and energy required to deliver water to our taps, treat it to be safe and clean, and safeguard the environment by managing wastewater, add up to billions of dollars every year in Canada. Daisy Foster, CEO of the 4,400-member BC Water & Waste Association notes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Increases in our population, the growth of

End of Antique Alley Iconic Red Barn building has been sold by Jennifer Lang TWO YEARS after initiating the

process of winding the business down, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suddenly the end of the line for Red Barn Antiques. The landmark heritage building at 5566 176 St., home to what was once Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest antique store and certainly one of its finest, sold two weeks ago, owner Leigh Carnegie has confirmed. In 90 days, and after 42 years in business â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 38 of them in Cloverdale â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the familiar Red Barn will shut its doors to make way for the new owner, a â&#x20AC;&#x153;big furniture companyâ&#x20AC;? which sells modern furniture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a great run,â&#x20AC;? Carnegie said. The closing out sale began in 2009, ushering discounts of 30 to 50 per cent on some items. Much like the liquidation sale currently drawing brisk business over at the Cloverdale Antique Mall, the Red Barn was overwhelmed with customers looking for a deal. The huge antique and collectible store â&#x20AC;&#x201C; famed for its paint job, maze-like showrooms, and unmatched collection of memorabilia, from soda fountains and totem poles to old-fashioned gas pumps and Chinatown phone

The plan was to slowly sell off the merchandise, and then the building. Carnegie, one of five siblings, said it took time for the family to agree to the sale. It was put on the market a few months ago. Now that the property has sold,

a massive clearance sale is underway to get everything out in time. The new owner plans to start renovations at the end of May. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really true,â&#x20AC;? Carnegie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re definitely going out of business and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the way it is. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no turning back.â&#x20AC;? Carnegie, 60, has no immediate plans other than to take six months off after the barn closes down. editor@cloverdalereporter.com

Why The Leader? PJ Cheema sells homes, apartments and townhouses. As one of the 10% of Realtors in the entire Fraser Valley, PJ knows that keeping himself and his listings in front of the ever changing Surrey and North Delta community is a critical factor in his success. “I chose the Leader as my main print advertising vehicle many years ago. My decision was based on the Leader’s long established readership, the excellent service and the attention to detail that my customers demand.” PJ who works closely with his wife Shivani, feels that in today’s fast changing real estate market anything that gives him an edge over his fellow Realtors can be decisive when it comes to buying or selling. “Advertising in The Leader gives me that edge and my success shows it,” he says.

AN INVITATION TO A PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE

Personal bests for Ocean Athletic members City of Surrey Dog Off Leash Master Plan Strategy (2011 – 2020)

by Nick Greenizan IT WAS TWO days full of personal

You are invited to a public open house to provide input on the Master Plan process for the City of Surrey’s Dog Off Leash Strategy. Staff will be on hand to receive community feedback and priorities. This information will help us guide the development of a ﬁnal preferred Master Plan to be completed in the winter of 2011. The Master Plan will provide direction to the City of Surrey in the development and provision of dog off leash spaces in Surrey. The Open Houses will be located throughout Surrey in the month of May. Residents are encouraged to attend the Open House planned for their town centre. Time: All Open Houses will run from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Dates and Location: Wednesday, May 4, 2011 Newton Chimney Hill Elementary (14755 - 74 Avenue) Guildford/Fraser Heights Harold Bishop Elementary (15670 - 104 Avenue)

Noel surged over the last 300 metres of the high school girls’ 1,500m race to finish fourth in a time of 4:44.25. Teammate Reta Dobie, a Grade 10 runner, finished the same race in 5:11.46 – her best time of the 2011 season. Alison Williams also scored a top-five finish in the high school portion of the meet, finishing fourth in the girls’ 800m with a season-best time of 2:17.08. In field events, Ocean Athletics’ Ryan Sommer, an Elgin Park student, finished sixth in both hammer throw and shotput, but his most impressive performance, according to Kanuka, came in the discus, where Sommer threw a personal best distance of 48.56 m.

bests for six Ocean Athletics athletes – “a small but mighty little group,” said coach Lynn Kanuka – at the prestigious Oregon Relays last weekend. Competing at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. against some of the best high school and college track and field stars in the Pacific Northwest, the team was led by Jack Williams, whose impressive win in the 1,500m was one of the meet’s highlights. In the high school boys race, Williams edged top Oregon high-schooler Matthew Melancom and fellow Surrey runner, White Rock Christian Academy’s Sean Keane, finishing in three minutes, 59.83 seconds.

Williams used a late kick over the last 250 metres to distance himself from the other two runners. Keane – who had a full-ride scholarship next year to the University of Kentucky – finished third, in a time of 4:02.2. Kanuka, Williams’ mother, described her son’s late push as “a fantastic kick… (he) literally buried the field in the last 250.” Williams’ sub-four-minute time was second on Ocean Athletics’ all-time list, behind only Luc Bruchet, who now runs at UBC. Jake Bruchet also had a strong weekend in Eugene, with a fifth-place finish in the 3,000m and a seventh-place finish in the 1,500. His times in both races were personal bests. In a strong field, Peggy

and White Rock runners clocked impressive times at the Boston Marathon – one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious distance races – earlier this month. Surrey’s Rob Barber, 51, was the first local to cross the finish line, clocking a time of

three hours, four seconds – good for 52nd in his age division. Next across the line was Mark Jongedijk, in 3:12:52, followed by fellow Surrey runner Neil Yarmoshuk, 40. One more runner, White Rock’s John Murphy, 70, also finished in the top 100 in his division, finishing 67th in the men’s 70-74 year old class,

with a time of 4:49:48. Others to complete the grueling 42.2-km race were: Marcus Slade (3:26:52), William McKinnon (3:30:11), Rick Fraser (3:38:09), Tanya Warkentin (3:40:42), Dave MacDonald (3:46:03), Derren Lench (3:46:28), David Greig (3:49:11), Angela Elemans (3:52:31), Janet Weber

(3:53:58), Darlene Barber (4:00:12), Rick Horita (4:13:49) and Marilyn Payne (4:16:06). In total, 26,907 runners competed in the marathon, which was won by Kenyan Geoffrey Mutai, who finished the race in a blistering 2:03:02 – the fastest marathon time ever recorded. sports@peacearchnews.com

Krgovich to join SFU Former Surrey Eagle jumps to university level Black Press FORMER SURREY Eagle Mike Krgovich will join Simon Fraser University of the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League next season. The 21-year-old Coquitlam native spent four seasons playing at the junior level, with stints in both the Western Hockey League and the British Columbia Hockey League. Krgovich played in 96 WHL games with the Red Deer Rebels and Chilliwack Bruins, and also suited up for 139 BCHL contests with the Surrey Eagles and Coquitlam Express. He was a top offensive player for the Eagles and Express, netting 46 goals and 121 points over two and a half seasons. He was selected to play in the 2010 BCHL AllStar Game while with Surrey. “Mike is a talented young man who was basically a point-agame player over his final two seasons in the BCHL,” says SFU general manager Jeff Dubois. “He was a guy who drew considerable interest from a number of Canadian universities and we’re thrilled with his decision. We expect that his abilities will translate into good offensive production at the university level and

Provincial Cup resumes Local soccer teams chasing B.C. championships by Rick Kupchuk AFTER TAKING Easter weekend off, five local soccer teams resume play in provincial championship competition this weekend Vancouver Metro Soccer League (VMSL) rivals ICST Pegasus and the Punjab Hurricanes meet a Provincial Cup menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterfinal game tonight (Friday) at 8 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park. Pegasus, which finished seventh in the 14-team Premier Division, with an 11-5-10

(won-tied-lost) record, defeated Bays United 2-1 in Victoria April 17. The Hurricanes struggled in VMSL league play, going 4-6-16 to place 12th, and will be relegated to Division One next season. But the Surrey side shines in cup play, qualifying for the provincials by reaching the semifinal round of the VMSLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Imperial Cup. The Hurricanes ripped Athletic Club B.C. of the Fraser Valley Soccer League 4-1 in the Provincial Cupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roundof-16.

Pegasus took four of a possible six points from the Hurricanes in league play this past season, winning 3-1 on Nov. 14, then playing to a scoreless tie March 23. Delta United will also play in the quarterfinal round of the Provincial Cup, after a 2-1 win over Peace Arch United two weekends ago. Delta will host the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves at 1 p.m. Sunday at John Oliver Park. Coquitlam was the runner-up in VMSL Premier Division play

with a 15-5-6 record, eight points ahead of Deltaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fifth-place record of 13-3-10. The Wolves swept Delta in league play, winning both headto-head meetings by 3-1 scores. Surrey United begins defence of their womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Provincial Cup title Sunday at 10 a.m. at Cloverdale Athletic Park against the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Xtreme. United had a bye through the first round of the 10-team competition, and will start play in the semifinal stage. Winners of the past seven Provincial Cup tournaments, Surrey topped the Metro Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Soccer Leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Premier Division standings with a 12-0 (won-lost) record, while Coquitlam was fifth at 6-6. United won both head-to-head matches by scores of 5-3 and 2-1. ICST Pegasus will visit the Victoria Highlanders in a Doug Day Cup (under-21 men) quarterfinal game Saturday afternoon. Pegasus blanked Surrey rival Akal FC 2-0 in their round-of-16 contest two weeks ago.

Final note for symphony founder by Sheila Reynolds

t was 1976 and there were few arts organizations in Surrey – at the time considered a mere suburb of Vancouver. But Lucille Lewis had a vision. Budding young musicians, she thought, needed an orchestra of their own where they could learn and perform and grow. After all, Vancouver had established a youth symphony 40 years earlier. And so the Surrey Symphony Society was born. With just 17 members at the outset, the group quickly blossomed, much like the booming city around it. Hundreds of kids and teens toting their violins and cellos and French horns have played with the group over the past three-and-a-half decades. There are now three orchestras – the junior strings, intermediate strings and Surrey Youth Orchestra – comprised of about 125 talented youth. But this year is bitter sweet for Lewis. While the symphony is celebrating 35 years, she’s counting this as her last. Lewis, the founding president of the society and youth orchestra conductor, is retiring. And while she has come now to terms with leaving, she wasn’t so at ease with the notion when she first gave her notice last year. “Originally I had a lot of mixed feelings about it,” she says. Now, she admits she’s quite excited about further pursuing her tennis game – which she only took up eight years ago –

After more than three decades with Surrey Symphony Society, Lucille Lewis puts down her baton

Lucille Lewis, youth orchestra conductor and founder of the Surrey Symphony Society, is retiring and will be honoured at a concert marking the society’s 35th anniversary on May 14. and spending time at her new vacation home in California. She’s leaving the symphony society in good hands and hopes that as Surrey heads toward being the largest city in B.C., the society might one day outshine Vancouver’s youth symphony and become the first choice for young musicians provincewide.

In the meantime, however, she has no doubt her biggest reward has been the connections she’s made with hundreds of students over the years. “Now and again you’ll run into somebody or, out of the blue, you’ll get a note from one of the kids and you feel like ‘oh my gosh – what we’re doing

here really does matter,’ ” she says. A reception honouring Lewis’s contribution to youth and music will be held in conjunction with the society’s 35th anniversary concert on May 14 at the Bell Performing Arts Centre. Anyone, including alumni of the orchestra, is invited to

attend. “I would love to see as many former students as can come,” Lewis says. “I’d love that.” Tickets ($17.50 for adults and $10.50 for seniors, students and alumni) are available by calling 604-572-9225 or at inquiries@surreyyouthorchestra.org.

Film festival a first for Delta Student movies hit the big screen for district-wide contest by Sheila Reynolds

s the next Steven Spielberg or Martin Scorsese in our midst? A new film festival for Delta students will showcase the short films of budding filmmakers next month. The Delta Interschool Film Festival invites both high school and elementary students to display their producing, directing, shooting and editing prowess. And on May 19, the winning moviemakers will walk the red carpet for a gala awards night where their movies will be screened and prizes will be handed out. Rick Paterson, district vice-principal in charge of technology, has helped organize the event, aimed at further engaging and encouraging students interested in making films. The concept of a district-wide festival came on the heels of the Laptops for Learning program, where 1,100 MacBooks were brought into Delta elementary schools. Teachers were then given workshops on how to use some of the programs and how to create podcasts and videos with their students, and the creative juices began to flow.

“We knew that there was fair amount of activity happening and we thought ‘why don’t we capitalize on that activity?’” says Paterson, adding he hopes this will be the first of many annual Delta student film festivals. Comedies, dramas, animation, documentaries, public service announcements, promotional pieces and music videos will all be considered. And organizers say the subject matter is up to the entrants. “This time around, we left if wide open,” Paterson said. “We didn’t want to be limiting the first time out.” He said the festival will feature “the best of the best” of Delta student films, and will hopefully encourage kids to take their work further and enter the B.C. student film festival as well. The Delta entry deadline was today (April 29, 4 p.m.) and students had to go through their principals or film teachers before entering. Details are available at www.deltasd.bc.ca/diff/ Four prizes will be awarded – one for a short production (30 to 60 seconds) and one for a long production (one to five minutes) at the secondary and elementary levels. The Gala Awards Night will be held at Burnsview Secondary, 7658 112 St., and all entrants are invited to attend.

nearly claimed his life. He survived – barely (a highways maintenance worker found him in a ditch next to the Fraser Highway) – but he lost his left leg. Incredibly, just a few months later, he appeared on stage at the May 10 show, demonstrating a few steps on a new prosthetic leg. The fundraiser, which featured renowned actor Fran Dowie – plus his daughter, Susie Francis, and her troupe The Vaudevillians – was a sell-out. Proceeds went to help David Slack, a married father of three who spent months recovering from the ordeal. It was, however, Dowie’s last performance. But it wasn’t the end of a proud family tradition. Dowie, who’d spent a lifetime spreading laughter and the art of vaudeville throughout Europe and North America, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, asked Susie to carry on the “family business.” After the Vaudevillians, Francis went on to found another group, The Versatiles, again raising money for community groups and charities, including the Heart and Stroke Foundation, B.C. Children’s Hospital, and more.

Surrey’s Susie Francis (front) and The Versatiles regularly perform beneﬁt shows for community groups and charities. In January, her artistic reach spread to Sechelt, where she founded The Funtastics, another group of performers in their golden years. Francis is a versatile performer in her own right. Perhaps that’s why she’s at the helm of The Versatiles, a Cloverdalebased vaudeville troupe of seniors. They rehearse Mondays at Branch 6 of the Royal Canadian Legion. The group’s oldest performer is 89; the youngest is 61. But The Versatiles’ reach extends to a newer generation of performers, Susie’s grandsons, Kyle and Taylor Sherlock, aged 15 and 16, who are also taking the stage at the

group’s next appearance. On May 7, Susie and The Versatiles will perform two shows (2 p.m. and 7 p.m.) at Brookswood Senior Centre at 19899 36 Avenue in Langley. Proceeds from the performance will be used to help revitalize the centre and create a welcoming environment for seniors to gather, along with their family and friends. The variety show features comic songs, skits and comedy bits, offering a little something for everyone. Tickets are $10 adults, $5 for children, babes in arms free. Call 604-530-4232 for more info.

ated with a Fine Arts degree, she made a decision to pursue art in a significant way after experiencing a personal tragedy. With the encouragement of her ceramics teacher, and an intensity arising from a feeling that she was in a race with time, Wu’s efforts led to many solo and group exhibitions. These included the second and third annual Asian Exhibition of Arts and Crafts in Japan, and a 2002 exhibition at Lincoln Centre in New York. One of her most significant achievements took place in 2003 when she was entrusted to construct a stone table to celebrate an eminent Taiwanese artist, Mr.

Bard casting for summer festival Talent wanted for Shakespeare production Black Press AS YOU LIKE IT is coming to Douglas Park in Langley this summer and aspiring Surrey and Delta actors are encouraged to be a part of it. Auditions will be held May 1, to cast Bard in the Valley’s August production of the comedy by William Shakespeare. “Bard in the Valley joins similar festivals across the country that started with an idea and a vision and are now world class events. They include Bard on the Beach and the Stratford Shakespearean Festival,” said BIV artistic director Allan Thain. “Again this year, The Bard in the Valley Society is also dedicated to the concept of making these performances both affordable and available to a wide audience, and to nurture and promote enthusiasm

for the works of Shakespeare and other playwrights,” he added. “Although the performances are free, this year we’ll be asking for donations to help cover of the production costs.” Auditions don’t require an appointment, however actors are asked to arrive at the Douglas Recreation Centre at 1 p.m. to hear an outline of the production, performance expectations and rehearsal commitments and to fill out the audition form. Everyone auditioning will be asked to do a cold read from the script and some will be asked to read for specific roles. Don’t send digital headshots or resumes. Bring a printed hardcopy headshot and resume to the audition to be turned in with the audition form. For more info, contact Thain at ajthain@shaw.ca.

Our soles to keep Surrey-based Holy Cross Regional High School held a One Day Without Shoes event on April 5 to bring awareness to a devastating foot disease common in developing countries that is entirely preventable by wearing shoes.

met at Erma Stephenson Park (15920 110 Ave.) on April 21 at noon. They walked six kilometres to draw attention to the fact millions of people walk that distance every day just to collect water for their basic needs.
