Surrey completes major eco-study Environmentalists say review still has a few flaws by Kevin Diakiw AN AMBITIOUS ecosystem review

has been deferred by city council for two weeks, giving environmental groups time to ask critical questions about the document. The Ecosystem Management Study (EMS) will serve as an overarching plan for Surrey’s greenspaces and ecological habitats for years to come. The city’s Environmental Advisory Committee and Surrey Environmental Partners (SEP) have said in the past that the EMS wasn’t coming quickly enough. Vast tracts of environmentally sensitive areas would be developed before the plan is put into Deb Jack action, they feared. Even though Surrey was ready to endorse the plan on Monday, it would not have been put into force until an Official Community Plan is adopted by council later this year. Environmental groups are happy to have a bit more time, saying they’re not pleased with some parts of the EMS.

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Police officers log numerous hours preparing paperwork and performing other necessary procedures for trials. With increasing frequency, that hard work is going to waste as crippling court congestion is causing cases to be thrown out.

Front line frustration Court delays diminish officer morale, inflate police costs by Jeff Nagel POLICE OFFICERS sit outside courtrooms in heavily

backed-up Surrey Provincial Court awaiting their turn to be called. If they’ve come for a trial that has already been adjourned multiple times, it could be their third or even fourth appearance in an attempt to testify in the case. And if the institutional delay is ruled excessive, the case may be tossed out and the accused will walk free, rendering the officers’ time and effort null and void. Critics say it all adds up to a colossal waste of taxpayers’ money. And the hours police spend in court is just the tip of the

iceberg. By the time they set foot in court, officers have spent many hours investigating and interviewing witnesses. DNA tests or other forensic work and expenses may have been ordered. After a suspect is collared, there is also a mountain of paperwork to be completed, notably the report to Crown counsel requesting charges. What’s more, in recent years the duty to disclose evidence to the defence has become far more onerous and now consumes much more police time than in the past – particularly if there’s translation and transcription costs involved with non-English speaking witnesses. “The costs are huge for us,” Delta Police Chief Jim Cessford said.

Delta eagles on egg watch Internet users can also observe hatching of eaglets by Kristine Salzmann LOCAL BIRD-WATCHERS have the opportunity to observe local eaglets hatching thanks to two live web cameras installed by the Hancock Wildlife Foundation. The first of two eggs in a Tsawwassen nest was expected to hatch Thursday (April 7). That nest can be seen at hancockwildlife.org from the camera Delta 2, situated in a large tree near the Tsawwassen ferry terminal. David Hancock, founder of the non-profit organization, says if viewers miss the first egg hatch Thursday, that’s just the beginning. Another camera is focused on a nest with two eggs in an evergreen on the property of the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) on 72 Street in Ladner, expected to start hatching April 14. The foundation writes on its website that in 2010 the nest was completely destroyed by wind and in 2009, sadly, failed to hatch. Hancock notes the area around OWL has one of the highest densities for nesting Bald Eagles he has ever found. In addition to the Tsawwassen and Ladner cameras, the foundation has turned lenses on nests in White Rock, Sidney, and a Lafarge Cement plant in Vancouver where eggs are all expected to hatch soon. And after the eaglets are born, viewers can see them feed until their first flight 12 weeks later. Hancock expects a record number of visitors to the website this year, well beyond the 1.5 million who tuned in 2010. Past viewers might remember when one of the foundation’s Tsawwassen cameras captured two baby eagles receive a cuddly black teddy bear from their mother in 2008. reporter@southdeltaleader.com

Surrey’s Tynehead Park, located alongside Highway 1 between 160 and 176 Streets, has been identified as one regional greenspace where pay-to-play services might work, the regional parks committee chair has said.

Metro to ponder new paid services in regional parks Survey found users put high priority on one amenity: Washrooms by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER will soon consider business partnerships that

would bring more commercial ventures into regional parks to offer pay-per-use enhanced services. Ideas like zip lines, dog wash stations or water slides were bandied around last year, but Metro parks committee chair Gayle Martin expects a staff report on the options will be out by June. “We’re looking at something that is probably going to be larger scale and a good potential revenue generator for our parks,” the Langley City councillor said. There are no concrete proposals yet but Martin expects one could come soon. “I have been in touch with a company since last year and we’re working through a process,” Martin said. She wouldn’t divulge what type of venture the firm intends but added a broad call for bids may not be necessary if there’s only one operator of that type in the Lower Mainland. Martin stressed the region will entertain all proposals. “Obviously if somebody out there has an idea they think would be a good enhanced service for our parks, we’d look at anything.” The aim is to offer park-goers more recreation or service options while simultaneously pulling in more income for the parks system. Martin had previously highlighted Tynehead Regional Park in Surrey as one park that may mesh well with enhanced pay-to-play services. Metro once considered but abandoned allowing a golf academy to set up at Tynehead. Pay-per-use amenities now in Metro regional parks include the Brae Island campground, a concession stand at Boundary Bay Regional Park, and bike rentals at Colony Farm in Port Coquitlam. Metro earns $2 million per year from its parks, but a good chunk of that comes from house rentals and movie shoots by the film industry. Another site up for consideration is Aldergrove Lake Regional

Park, where the popular swimming lake is being permanently closed due to more stringent health standards. Martin said the idea of a water park to replace the lake now looks unlikely because of the limited water supply there. Meanwhile, parks officials are pledging to deliver some free relief for park users. Portable washrooms will be set up in some parks and more permanent ones will be built over the longer term. They’ll also add washroom locations to the mapping function on the Metro Parks smart phone app launched last year. More biffies that are easier to find were among the demands of users Metro surveyed for a study of park opportunities tabled this week. “A lot of people said washroom facilities are important to them,” Martin said. “Especially those with young children – you never get out without them having to go.” The survey also found plenty of confusion about what parks are run by the region versus local cities. Pacific Spirit Regional Park around UBC is the best-known regional park but one in four people surveyed couldn’t name one. Top activities in regional parks are walking, picnicking, going to the beach or swimming, attending outdoor events and festivals and cycling on level, groomed trails. Metro’s Regional Outdoor Recreation Opportunities study found activities with strong growth potential include outdoor events and festivals, cycling, recreational boating and wildlife or bird watching. It also forecasts growing demand in the Fraser Valley Regional District for off-road motorized recreation, motor boating, fishing and camping. Park users are most likely to be employed, Canadian-born, higher-income or families with children. “Immigrants from China and South Asia are among those less likely to use parks and open space,” the report said. “The South Asian community does, however, have an interest in picnicking and organized field sports.”

The aim is to offer park-goers more recreation or service options while simultaneously pulling in more income for the parks system.

Study: Back before council on April 18 From page 3 “We would have hoped that implementation would be immediate,� Deb Jack, president of the Surrey Environmental Partners wrote to mayor and council. “So it seems that a short delay is not unreasonable.� Because of lack of time on Monday, council deferred the adoption of the plan for two weeks, which Jack calls a “fortuitous happening,� adding now she can ask some important questions about the document. Jack thinks that the classifications of sensitive areas don’t adequately meet the true definition of Surrey’s green spaces. Rosemary Zelinka, with the Surrey Association of Sustainable Communities, also has several concerns with the document as presented. She expressed concern to council several months ago when the first draft was presented, and asked for a meeting with staff or to at least have some of the concerns in the letter addressed. “This was not done, in fact it is not even mentioned in the report that we submitted this letter, although letters from Surrey Environmental Partners and from the David Suzuki Foundation are mentioned (although it is not clear whether they supported or opposed the recommendations),� Zelinka wrote in a letter to council.

“As far as we can see, none of the many concerns we identified in our July letter have been addressed. In fact, things are now worse, because there was a detailed chart of policy tools in the draft report that would be used to protect hubs, sites, and corridors, and this is now missing.� Coun. Bob Bose said he also has problems with it. “My primary concern is it places the whole (environmental) question on the same footing as with all the other concerns, that is social and economic,� Bose said. “The essential root is, which trumps what? As far as I’m concerned, development trumps the environment every time.� On the positive side, he sees the document as better mapping of Surrey’s environmental values than has existed in the past. “It goes beyond simply watercourses,� Bose said. Manager of Community Planning Don Luymes said the EMS is just the first phase in environmental planning. It will serve as a guiding document for the Tree Protection Bylaw, the Official Community Plan, Neighbourhood Concept Plans and the yet-to-be developed Biodiversity Conservation Strategy. The EMS will be back before council on the afternoon of April 18.

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Do you welcome the revitalization of the B.C. Conservative party? Here’s how you responded: Yes 64% No 36% VOTER TURNOUT

Ho-hum, just another election

M

ay 2 is another election day. The election pundits will tell you it’s a real chance to decide who runs the show in Ottawa. After years of minority government, the Tories could finally pull it off and get the keys to the car and a full tank of gas. The rhetoric in coming weeks could get intense, and it will be hard to fathom the truth in it all. Will the Tories really put half of us in jail and give the other half high-powered rifles to protect ourselves? Is Michael Ignatieff really a Russian spy? Is Jack Layton really Ted Turner? So many webs to untangle. But who cares? Elections come and go like dashed Stanley Cup dreams around these parts. It’s like watching the rain through your window at work. Don’t worry, you’ll get another chance to enjoy it on the weekend. Elections aren’t worth noting at all. Most people should just hit the couch that first Monday in May, watch Dancing with the Stars, maybe tune into the news later to see who won this time. Chris Getting up and hoofing it to the polling station? No way. Better to spend that energy elsewhere, like trying to fathom the great features on that shiny iPhone or removing that ugly stain from the toilet bowl. Leave it to those suckers who keep voting year after year. Just think how much responsibility those masochists willingly bear on their shoulders. Because of dwindling voter turnout, each one of their votes carries a weight that is actually much more significant. They’re not just voting for themselves, they’re voting on behalf of others too.

The toll experiment

CIRCULATION MANAGER Marilou Pasion

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

COMMUTING COSTS

Poor sods. Think about it. Federal election turnout was 59 per cent in 2008, provincial turnout in 2009 was just 50 per cent. And in the last municipal election three years ago in Surrey, less than 23.7 per cent of all eligible voters came out. Suddenly, every patsy who follows the issues, gets to know the candidates and forces himself to make a decision has found himself forced to carry the weight of more than four. Suckers. I suppose we could ease the load on these blokes and sheilas, and follow the path of Australia. Force everyone to vote. Make it the law. There’d be 100 per cent turnout and every half-wit could reach his own decision, employing his mind-makingup technology of choice. One potato, two potato. Spin the bottle. Pin the tail on the donkey. Maybe that’s why Down Under these wise folks are called the “donkey vote.” For now, my advice to you nonvoters out there is to watch out. Habitual voters will try to foist their burden on you by using guilt. Bryan They’ll talk about how privileged we are to have the vote in the first place, pointing to our free society – they might even mention the world wars. And they’ll dredge up those old, hard-fought battles waged to bring the franchise to anyone other than land-owning white men. You tell them bullocks. If you don’t want to vote, don’t bother. As for me, I’m only too happy to do it for you. Chris Bryan is editor of the Burnaby NewsLeader. editor@burnabynewsleader.com

Power to the people – but other people? TransLink costs will alienate cities

I CAN APPRECIATE letter writer Mr. Nikolaidis’ concerns about California’s potential expansion of nuclear power and a need to find clean energy. And how he feels that we (B.C.) should facilitate that need by sending them our clean hydro-electric power.

All one needs to do is look at the corridor that runs roughly between 128 and 124 Streets. There you will see not one set of power lines (which is what is what you see going to supply all of Vancouver Island ) but two sets of power lines. All this power goes all the way to California.

And because of this we are no longer selfsufficient with our own power. If Mr. Nikolaidis feels we should be sending 50 million people our power, then it is us that will start having to look at nuclear power.

A decline in civilized politics

AFTER A decade of personal-attack

politics south of the border, I suppose we’ve become somewhat desensitized to the decline of civility in Canadian politics. The current federal election campaign, however, is shaping up to represent one of the most damning indictments to date of the putrid state of our democratic process. Many of us did not see the need for an election at this time. Sensing this, our beloved political parties have recognized that the clearest path to victory this time around may not require the presentation of actual policies or ideas. Rather, victory may come through holding another party responsible for the fact we again have a litany of candidate signs littering our roads. We should be outraged that at a time when our nation requires visionary leadership, we are being bombarded with political ads that focus on personal attacks, innuendo and fear. Canadians deserve better. How did we get here? Conventional wisdom suggests that the opposition parties are responsible for us having an election as they expressed non-confidence in the government’s budget. Can they really be blamed when the government would not provide necessary information or transparent spending estimates that backed up their budget? Omissions egregious enough that the Conservatives were found to be in contempt of Parliament: Isn’t that the legitimate role of the Opposition to ask for these things? I am not an apologist for the Opposition and believe Canadians

As campaign signs begin to sprout up, a letter writer states he’s not interested in a pointless, attack-based federal election. should demand more from them in the form of concrete proposals. However, the Conservatives have spent the better part of five years trying to attain that elusive majority. What started as an ambition has become something of a disturbing obsession. In recent months leading to the failed budget, the government was purchasing ads and the Conservative candidates were dispensing self-promoting mail-outs in their ridings. There were strategic federal

spending announcements in provinces such as Quebec, and the strategies to target so-called “ethnic” ridings. Notwithstanding its ethical indiscretions and secretive governance, the Conservative government has enjoyed a sustained level of relatively strong support in the polls. Despite all of their pre-election posturing, the Conservatives seem to be claiming that they are in an election campaign they did not want. Really?

How daft must they consider the electorate to be. Rather than ideas, the only message the Conservative party seems to be giving is “if you don’t want any more elections, give us a majority government.” I’m sorry, Mr. Prime Minister, that’s not good enough. It should be policies, not threats, that guide our collective conscience in this institution our veterans have fought so valiantly to defend. Paul Sandhu Surrey

Teachers not given resources, respect THE BRITISH Columbia Teachers’ Federation contract is about to expire and teacher bargaining talks with the government will soon begin. I am once again disheartened that teachers are being misunderstood by the general public. Being a teacher is supposed to be a noble profession; unfortunately, I am still amazed that so many people in our province are misinformed about the responsibilities and the “benefits” that teachers have that I want to set some things straight. • As teachers, we are not paid for our time off in July and August. Some districts in B.C. offer a 12-month payment plan for 10 months of work but that clearly does not mean we are paid for our time off. We receive smaller cheques throughout the year if we choose that option.

• Teachers do not receive extra benefits or income for the amount of work we do for our students and for our schools. For example, coaching sports, organizing school events like music concerts, science fairs, assemblies and Sports Day is all done out of our own will and time. • Teachers’ work hours are not from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Teachers use their own time after work hours, such as the evenings or weekends, to evaluate their students’ work, to plan their lessons, to gather materials for projects, to phone parents, to Xerox papers, to coach sports, etc. Also, teachers in B.C. do not receive extra time or income to write report cards which can take weeks, as teachers in other provinces do. • Teachers do work on Professional Development days. For those misinformed individuals

who think that teachers are off work when the kids are off school, I encourage you to re-examine the definition for “professional development.” On Pro-D Days, teachers are in schools or conference centres the whole day learning about new teaching materials or strategies to better educate their students. • Teachers face a shortage of educational resources daily and we use our own money to buy supplies for our classrooms, which is not right. As a teacher who loves my job, I hope those misinformed individuals will do their homework first before they become angry at teachers for some common stereotypes they have of them. S. Ng

DISTRICT OF North Vancouver

Mayor Richard Walton just doesn’t get why South Fraser municipalities want to split from TransLink. It’s too bad, because South Fraser municipalities will eventually split from TransLink. The reason is simple: TransLink is fixated on light metro, in the guise of SkyTrain or the Canada Line, and North Fraser cities that have SkyTrain need South Fraser taxpayers to pay for it. The Vancouver region is unique; it exclusively operates light metro, yet it costs up to 10 times or more to plan and build than its chief competitor – light rail – and costs 30 per cent or 40 per cent more to operate than LRT. It is no wonder that TransLink has financial problems. The following clearly demonstrates the huge costs associated with SkyTrain, compared to LRT. The proposed 11-kilometre Evergreen SkyTrain Line is said to cost over $1.4 billion and will further increase the SkyTrain operating costs past $90 million annually. The Rail for the Valley group from the South Fraser region commissioned Leewood projects to study the reinstatement of the valley Interurban. A “full build” 138-km TramTrain servicing Vancouver and Richmond to Rosedale, past Chilliwack, would cost just under $1 billion. It becomes easier to see why South Fraser taxpayers are tired of paying for other people’s transit and would want transit money spent where they live. With light rail, they will get “rail” transit in their lifetime. If TransLink splits, then the gas tax monies from the federal government would be split too and that would mean huge property tax increases for residents living in the TransLink/SkyTrain region, to pay for their gold-plated light metro. Maybe a regional split in transportation authorities will mean a more fiscally responsible TransLink and that would benefit everyone. Malcolm Johnston, Rail for the Valley Light Rail Committee

Bob Bose wanted reform put to vote by Kevin Diakiw A PROPOSAL to put the ward system

to referendum this November was shot down by council Monday. As he does every three years or so, Coun. Bob Bose brought up the issue of electoral reform, particularly neighbourhood constituencies, or wards. Under such a system, councillors would be elected to represent different communities, as opposed to the current at-large system, where all councillors are elected to represent the whole city. Bose said Surrey is becom- Name ing so large, wards make representation more manageable for councillors, and voters know better who to call when they have an issue with city hall. Surrey had a ward system between 1887 and 1957. It was abolished after ward seven became disenfranchised with how it was being treated by the rest of Surrey council and seceded from Surrey, becoming White Rock. On Monday, Surrey council used that as an example of the ineffective nature of wards. Coun. Marvin Hunt said he’s

largely in favour of referenda but bristles at the notion of wards. Because they exist in many large cities across the country, he often gets new Surrey citizens asking who their councillor is. “You get to call all of us,” he tells them. Coun. Barbara Steele, president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities, spent the last year in discussions provincewide about electoral reform. “I don’t think I saw five that wanted a ward system,” Steele said. Mayor Dianne Watts said Vancouver put the idea to the public and it wasn’t supported. She pointed out the loss of White Rock as a test case for ward failure. “I will never support a ward system because I will never support pitting neighbour against neighbour,” she said. Bose contended there’s no harm in bringing the idea up for discussion. “A starting point is to have these matters put out for public discussion,” Bose said, adding the city doesn’t need permission from the province for this kind of electoral reform. “It’s up to the city to decide whether it wants wards or not.” kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

One in five B.C. businesses ready to hire: Report Economic conďŹ dence is holding steady, says CFIB by Kevin Diakiw FOR ALMOST two straight quarters, business confidence has been holding steady, leading some to believe this province is pulling out of the fragile economy. The Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB) recently released its quarterly report on business confidence. The numbers are in the range of a healthy growing economy, and come close to the figures experienced before the economic meltdown of 2008. The B.C. Barometer Index rose

slightly from its level in February at 70.1 to 71.4 in small business during the first quarter of 2011. The national average held steady in March at 69.2 – virtually unchanged from its February level of 69.4. “Our survey tends to track very closely with actual economic performance,� said Laura Jones, CFIB vice-president for western Canada. “We’re not asking people in ivory towers what they think of the economy, we’re asking people on the ground ‘what’s happening in your business? How confident are you?’ � The continued optimism

makes four straight months that the national index has been in the healthy part of the index range (index levels between 65 and 75 indicate a growing economy). “I look at this as a leading indicator of where we’re at in British Columbia’s economy,� Jones said. “It’s very timely, and you’re asking people who know best.� The indicators show businesses are starting to hire again and give raises to existing employees, and they’re more likely to invest in new equipment and become more competitive, meaning

increased tax dollars for schools and hospitals, Jones said. “This affects every British Columbian in any number of ways.â€? The current numbers show that most employers do not plan to make changes to full-time employment levels (63 per cent), while 20 per cent plan to increase full-time employment and 17 per cent plan to decrease. More highlights: • 53 per cent of businesses in B.C. say the overall state of business is satisfactory, 28 per cent say it is good, and 19 per cent say it is bad.

The Fusion Festival featured more than 75 distinguished artists and headliners from around the world who performed on four stages. The event included 30 cultural pavilions representing food and culture from different countries of origin. Nearly 90,000 people celebrated the city’s diversity with music, food and culture. “I was thrilled, but not surprised,” said Coun. Barinder Rasode about the award. “While we’re seeing heritage from different countries, I think what really brings us together is what makes us alike, and that’s really prevalent when you’re at Fusion (Festival).” One of the big changes last year was the Canada Pavilion, which highlighted this country’s heritage. This year’s Fusion Festival will include a Surrey pavilion and a Flavours of Surrey component, where foods will be made from locally grown produce. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

A NEW Westminster

police officer has been found guilty of assaulting Surrey resident Firoz Khan two years ago. Const. Jeffrey Klassen was charged with assault and possession of stolen property after an attack on Khan in January of 2009, while Khan was delivering newspapers outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver. The guilty ruling was made in Vancouver Provincial Court on Tuesday. Klassen argued his actions were consistent with his training. Klassen, Delta Const.

the beating, earlier pled guilty to the assault and received a 21-day conditional sentence. Khan has also filed a civil suit against Klassen, Gillan and Tanino, claiming the attack was racially motivated and left him with a brain injury and post-traumatic stress disorder. — with files from CTV News

Murder ruling April 15 Gary Johnston accused of killing Vic Fraser by Sheila Reynolds A RULING is expected late next week in the murder trial of Gary Johnston, accused of the 1998 murder of Victor Fraser in Surrey. Johnston, 52, was charged with seconddegree murder in 2009 and pleaded not guilty to Fraser’s death last month. During the four-week trial in New Westminster Supreme Court, Crown prosecutors said that Fraser’s death was the result of a botched robbery. They alleged the 42-year-old trucker walked into his sister Jeanie’s Bridgeview-area home and interrupted Johnston, who was piling things up to steal from the house. The Crown said Johnston took a pair of knives from the kitchen and stabbed Fraser several times in the neck, the blades breaking off the handles in the process. During the trial, the Crown called as witnesses three people they alleged Johnston confessed his crime to. Judge Robert Crawford is expected to deliver his decision April 15. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

Crash involving Mountie heads to court Cpl. Benjamin Robinson charged in a fatal 2008 collision with motorcycle in Tsawwassen by Kristine Salzmann

officer’s Jeep collided with the young Tsawwassen man’s motorcycle. Robinson left the scene of the crash and walked home where he claims to have consumed two shots of vodka to calm his nerves before returning to the site. According to Delta Police, Robinson’s breath samples gave readings of .12 and .10 mgs of alcohol (the legal limit is .08). A coroner’s toxicological analysis also reported alcohol in Hutchinson’s blood.

A PRELIMINARY inquiry

will be held this month to see if the RCMP officer involved in a fatal Tsawwassen crash will go to trial. Cpl. Benjamin Montgomery Robinson was charged with obstructing justice following the Oct. 25, 2008 collision that killed 21-year-old Orion Hutchinson at Gilchrist Drive and 6 Ave. That evening, around 10:30 p.m., the off-duty

The engineering analysis found Robinson was traveling between 24 and 29 km/h at the time of the collision, and showed Hutchinson was traveling between 66 and 96 km/h. Said coroner Mark Coleman, “Speed and alcohol intoxication on the part of Mr. Hutchinson were contributing factors. Alcohol intoxication on the part of the driver of the Jeep is also believed to be a contributing factor. I classify this death as accidental and

make no recommendation.” Hutchinson’s family issued a written statement following the coroner’s report that took issue with the coroner’s description of the vehicle speeds. “...Someone going straight is certainly going to be going faster than someone who is turning a corner (who should actually be slowed to virtually a stop), so (we) find the wording around that very deceptive,” they said.

A LEADER SPECIAL SERIES

FACES OF DELAY: Torie and Jessica The father of a woman involved in a life-altering car crash believes B.C. is well on its way to having an impotent justice system where criminals don’t worry about the empty threat of penalties by Jeff Nagel NORTH VANCOUVER’S Jessica Van Ruyven and her best friend Torie Gerard from Whitehorse had just graduated from university and were working at lodges near Campbell River in the summer of 2007 when in an instant, their lives were changed forever. The two young women were driving down the Island Highway with dreams of a trip to Europe.

Above: Jessica Van Ruyven (left) and her best friend Torie Gerard before a devastating highway crash that left Gerard with permanent injuries (right). The accused drunk driver in the 2007 incident had the case against him thrown out due to court delays. It was the second time the same man had been charged with impaired driving but had the charges stayed.

Then a drunk driver slammed into them head-on. An airbag saved Van Ruyven from serious injury. But Gerard’s head went through the windshield. She initially wasn’t expected to live. Three-and-a-half years later, after multiple surgeries on her left eye, Gerard still requires a walker to move around, suffers from psychological and emotional trauma, and has a permanent brain injury.

“She will never, ever be normal,” said Andy Van Ruyven, Jessica’s father. “She’s got a life of handicap and challenges that are not her own fault. And no one will be responsible or pay anything for that.” He thought the crash was an open-andshut case and justice would be swift. He was wrong. It took nearly a year for charges to be laid against the Campbell River driver in the oncoming pick-up truck. Transfers at the Campbell River RCMP

detachment bounced the file from officer to officer. For some time, no one knew who was handling it, adding to the delays. Police were also slow to disclose documents to defence – as required – and the accused’s lawyer succeeded in adjourning the first trial date. Around the same time, one of two judges in Campbell River retired and wasn’t replaced, worsening the backlog in the congested courthouse there. See ACCUSED / Page 20

No consequences: Corrodes public confidence From page 1 He recounted one case where disclosure and transcription costs alone devoured more than $250,000 over six months. “To have the case denied because of unreasonable delay is really, really frustrating for everyone,” Cessford said. “That really sends a bad message to everyone.” Cases are increasingly being tossed out over delays in Surrey and across B.C. because jammed courthouses can’t keep up. More than 2,100 criminal cases have dragged on so long, they are at risk of being quashed. The reason? A severe shortage of judges – as well as sheriffs and other court support staff – because of chronic provincial under-funding of the system. Police officers realize what happens in the court system is out of their hands. But investigations that go nowhere or die in the courts hurt officer morale, Cessford said. Cases can be quashed by judges or stayed by prosecutors who anticipate a judicial stay because of delay. Crown sometimes bargains down to a lesser charge to secure a guilty plea. Prosecutors are now having to triage incoming charge requests from police because court congestion has forced them to raise the bar for charge approval. As a result, lesser offences such as non-violent property crimes are less likely to make the cut, particularly if the evidence doesn’t provide a very strong likelihood of conviction. The trend is also affecting policing decisions on the level of resources committed to an investigation – particularly for less-serious crimes that could be bogged down in court delays and ultimately quashed. Delta’s Carol Berner was convicted of dangerous driving and impaired driving causing death in the crash that killed four-year-old Alexa Middelaer in Ladner on May 17, 2008. Delta Police staged an elaborate and expensive monthslong sting to get Berner to admit to an undercover officer she

drank three glasses of wine before driving that day. Cessford said his force would still put the same resources into a similar case today. “On a much less-serious offence, we would be very, very careful about how far we would get into the investigation,” he said. Even when charges aren’t at risk of being quashed, there are still dangers from delay. Witnesses may forget details and weaker testimony – from civilians or police officers – can result in the accused walking away unpunished. “Memories start to fade,” Cessford said. “They’re not as sharp as if the case had been brought forward much sooner. That can have an effect on the outcome.” The police job of protecting and managing witnesses – tracking them as they move to new cities or provinces and Delta Police Chief Jim getting them to come back to Cessford testify – also becomes more onerous as cases drag on. “The witnesses lose interest and they tend to cut us out after a while,” Cessford said. “They lose confidence in the system. They think ‘this is not justice, this is not working’.”

L

angley City Mayor Peter Fassbender fears too many suspected criminals aren’t getting into court in the first place. They’re being turned aside by prosecutors who can’t justify loading so-called minor cases into the already jammed system. And he suspects police increasingly aren’t pursuing cases

they know will never get to court. “People are frustrated by that and the police are frustrated by it,” said Fassbender, who co-chairs the Lower Mainland District RCMP/Mayors’ Consultative Forum and sits on Metro Vancouver’s policing issues committee. He said there are too many prolific offenders with numerous charges on their files who never seem to suffer consequences. It all threatens to corrode public confidence in the justice system among law-abiding citizens and weaken the deterrent of penalties for the criminally inclined. “There used to be a sense that if you do the crime, whatever level of that it might be, you’re going to suffer the consequences,” Fassbender said. “I think people are beginning to question that.” On the policing front, local cities are intensely concerned about rising costs. Surrey alone pays $97 million a year for RCMP operating costs – one-third of the city’s budget. Surrey RCMP officers spent nearly 9,200 hours in court last year. Since experienced officers make $37 an hour and about half of court appearances net overtime at double pay, the cost of court time approaches $500,000 a year. If officers appear in court on their regular work shifts, that’s time they aren’t available to actually police the community, forcing detachments to backfill with other staff. And if officers are in court on their days off, overtime must be paid. Either way, Fassbender said, delays in court translate into more taxpayer dollars being spent and fewer boots on the ground to patrol communities. “It all drains on the human and financial resources the more they have to be in court.” He wants “creative solutions” pursued – even night court sittings if that’s what it takes.

riminologist Daryl Plecas of the University of the Fraser Valley says there’s not enough judges, prosecutors or courthouses to deal with the caseload. He traces the rise in congestion to government’s decision nine years ago to close two dozen courthouses across B.C. “Whose brainchild was that?” Plecas asked. “You in effect narrowed that funnel such that no matter what police do, the capacity of the court system is only so much.” Attrition resulting in fewer sitting judges and reduced court time came despite a growing population, more police officers being hired, and a greatly increased complexity of cases. For example, an impaired driving trial that once took a couple of hours can now take three days. Some police officers do nothing but handle disclosure requirements. And court delay means a longer, more challeng-

ing job of protecting witnesses in serious crimes, Plecas said. “We’re saying at the end of the day to a victim, ‘Your case is not being dealt with because we don’t have a system which is capable of doing this’.” Some relief could be on the way. New administrative penalties instead of charges for impaired driving may mean much fewer drunk drivers clogging the courts, Plecas said. That might – over time – help reduce the court case backlog, which Plecas believes is the main reason behind the reform that some observers have criticized as a de facto decriminalization of impaired driving. “What they’ve in effect done is dump those cases,” he said. Not everyone is convinced the shift to roadside impaired driving penalties is a silver bullet that will relieve pressure. Samiran Lakshman,

president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association, said early evidence suggests police who are freed up from the hours spent on impaired driving investigations, the accompanying paperwork, and court time, are getting back on the street faster and pursuing other cases to bring to court. “They’re going and finding other criminals,” Lakshman said. “It’s great for the community. But it does nothing to relieve the pressure of how many of these files are coming into the system.”

By the numbers: • 27-per-cent increase in number of police officers in B.C. from 2001 to 2011 (7,279 to 9,261). • 13-per-cent decrease in number of provincial court judges over same period (145 to 128). • 73 police officers for every judge, up from 50 in 2000. jnagel@surreyleader.com

NEXT FRIDAY: The government responds to issues raised in The Leader’s series

Accused: 2 cases stayed From page 19 The trial was pushed back to December 2010. But in June of last year – nearly three years after the crash – the defence applied for a judicial stay of proceedings. Provincial Court Judge Brian Saunderson ruled the case had dragged too long and the accused man’s right to be tried within a reasonable time had been violated. It was the second time the same accused had been charged with impaired driving but had the case thrown out. It’s still incomprehensible to Van Ruyven. “When people like that can walk from the scene and from the process without facing charges it throws the

whole system into disrepute,” he said. Van Ruyven believes B.C. is on a “slippery slope” to an impotent justice system where criminals don’t worry about the empty threat of penalties and victims “go into vigilante mode and take things into their own hands.” His question: How serious does a case have to be to get priority in the courts and ensure it will be heard? “If my daughter or her friend were killed would that have put any more urgency to it?” he asked. “Who is making those decisions to say, ‘This is one we can’t let go? And these other ones where there’s just maiming or dismemberment or handicap short of death – those we don’t have time or the energy to prosecute.’ “There’s absolutely no fairness in that.” jnagel@surreyleader.com

per cent in each of the next four years. The preliminary rate cap ruling of BC Ferries Commissioner Martin Crilly means fares could climb a total of 17.6 per cent by the spring of 2015 on major routes connecting the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. The increase could be more than 37 per cent over that period for all other northern and minor routes. That’s over and above ferry fare increases that took effect April 1. BC Ferries had requested room to raise fares even higher over the next four years. The lower rate cap is possible because Crilly has ordered the ferry corporation to find an $18.5-million reduction in costs. The commissioner’s decision is a preliminary one – the public has until June 30 to comment at bcferrycommission.com and BC Ferries has one month to challenge the rationale for ordering the cost reduction and lower rate cap. The estimates assume service levels are unchanged and there’s no increased subsidy for the ferry system from the provincial government. A final decision isn’t expected before September. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Style and family-friendly living at a good price

Vesta’s new development is blooming in Surrey KERRY VITAL

Vesta Properties’ Blume is springing to life in Surrey’s Panorama neighbourhood. Set into a landscaped park space with picnic tables, benches and a playground, Blume is a pedestrianfriendly development just minutes from the Bell Centre for the Performing Arts and the Newton Wave Pool. Residents will also be within walking distance of several elementary and secondary schools, shopping centres and eateries, and major transit and commuter routes are nearby. “It appeals to a lot of young families,” says Vesta senior marketing manager Curt Woodhall. “It also appeals to empty nester buyers who are looking for a low- or no-maintenance place.” The exterior of every townhome features a natural colour palette, stained wood and brick trim and decorative railings and wood shutters. Each home includes a deck, patio and private backyard, and an enclosed twocar garage. Visitor parking is available throughout the complex for those

looking to entertain. All residences are built with durable laminate shingle roofs and vinyl siding. Inside, each home is built in a bright open-plan design in one of Blume’s professionally designed colour schemes, with nine-foot ceilings and oversized windows on the main floor to allow for plenty of natural light. Hardwood-laminate is included on the main floor, and carpet throughout. The master bedroom in most homes includes a spacious walk-in closet with

built-in shelving, and a private ensuite features a large tiled walk-in shower, and a vanity mirror over a stylish arborite countertop. The average home at Blume includes three bedrooms and three bathrooms, Woodhall says. For the foodies, the open-plan kitchens include soft recessed lighting, a self-clean range, 21-cubic-foot fridge, built-in dishwasher and hood fan. Each kitchen also includes a breakfast bar or island, contemporary flat-panel maple shaker kitchen cabinetry with brushed silver hardware and granite countertops, and a double stainless steel sink with a chrome faucet and pull-out vegetable sprayer. Each kitchen has a stylish designer-selected hand-set tile backsplash with a decorative insert. “There aren’t a lot of upgrades needed,” Woodhall says. “Everything is

already included.” Blume includes Connect, an amenities centre featuring a lounge, kitchen and outdoor entertainment areas that allow owners to hold barbecues and group events. “It’s a boutique community. It’s like a quaint, private little enclave, which appeals to a lot of buyers,” Woodhall says. Phase one was released earlier this year, and has already sold out. Phase two includes just 10 homes, at least three of which have been sold already since the second phase opened on April 3. The final development will encompass 53 homes in total. “It’s really selling well,” says Woodhall. Homes start at $335, 900. For information, visit www.blumeliving. com.

The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association held its 17th annual Home Buyer Seminar March 22. GVHBA CEO Peter Simpson says it was the largest of its kind in North America with 555 potential buyers attending the seminar.

The GVHBA plans to hold a similar seminar next year, but in the meantime those that missed out can find lots of information on buying a new home or renovating a pre-

owned home online. “There’s lots to learn, but there’s lots of information out there,� Simpson said – adding that the GVHBA website has plenty of articles

and resources for people in the market for a home as well as those who are looking to renovate. For information check www.gvhba.org.

irst-time home buyers got a little reassurance from the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association last month. The GVHBA held its 17th annual Firsttime Home Buyer Seminar on March 22 at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel in Surrey in an effort to demystify the process for people entering the real estate market for the first time. GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson says the evening was a big success, with 555 potential home buyers attending two-hour seminar. “It’s the largest of its kind in North America, and we were pleased to see so many people respond,� he said. Seven speakers – including representatives from the Canada Mortgage & Housing Corporation, BC Housing and the banking industry – covered the basics of buying a home. Attendees were led through the process from start to finish and were introduced to concepts like mortgages (variable versus fixed-rate), closing costs, realtor finishing costs and mortgage insurance. “We think that these potential first-time home buyers went home knowing a lot more about the home-buying process than before,� Simpson said. The most important thing for first-time buyers, Simpson says, is to keep from getting in over your head and stick to what you can afford. While buying your first home is exciting, Simpson says you have to keep your emotions in check, especially in a market like the Lower Mainland. “It’s like going shopping on an empty stomach, you fill the cart with things you don’t need,� he said.

Who can apply?

The City of Surrey is pleased to offer grants to support neighbourhood beautification and celebration.

All Surrey residents, community groups and associations can apply. Small business or groups of businesses will also be considered for street beautification projects.

Through this program, Surrey residents, groups and associations can now apply to the City for financial grants to support neighbourhood beautification projects and community celebrations. Successful applicants match grant money with contributions of volunteer labour, donated materials, and/or cash.

NEW COACH Ernie Hawkins might be wondering if he’s set the bar too high for the Fraser Valley Chiefs. The B.C. Premier Baseball League (PBL) team plays the first two of 48 regular season games Sunday against the visiting Nanaimo Pirates at Whalley Stadium. And when league play concludes July 17, Hawkins is expecting the under-18 elite league squad to be among the top four in the 13-team league. “I’m hoping we’ll host a playoff series,” he said. “Maybe I’m a little overoptimistic. But you have to have a goal. And with what I’ve seen in the preseason, I believe we can be in the top four.” On paper, there’s little reason to think the Chiefs can’t attain that goal. Of the 10 players returning from a team which placed fourth last season with a 27-17 (won-loss) record, six are starters. And the new recruits for the 2011 season should be able to fill any holes. Ernie’s son, Brody Hawkins, will be back behind the plate after a 2010 campaign that saw his bat .287 and earned PBL first all-star team honours. Also returning to wear the Chiefs black-and-orange are first baseman Mitch Dornblut (.267), and

infielders Ryan Pidhaichuk (.304), Dale Mar and Braeden Alleman. Jordan McComb is the returnee in the outfield, and will move to centre field. He batted .219 a year ago. On the mound, the Chiefs have Justin Pilgrim (2.25 earned run average), Alex Dunbar (3.65) and lefthander Caleb Lefebvre (3.72) back for another season. The pitching staff will be bolstered by the addition of Dylan Rehmke, who spent last season with the Langley Blaze, and left-hander Ty Walker. ■ The North Delta Blue Jays also begin their PBL season this weekend, after coming off a 32-12 season in which they place second in both league play and the playoff tournament. The Jays host the Okanagan Athletics of Kelowna for a fourgame set at Mackie Park in North Delta. Saturday’s double header gets under way at 1 p.m., while the first of Sunday’s two games is set for 11 a.m. The Jays have lost much of their starting lineup from last year, as seven players have moved on to university baseball. Among the returnees to the North Delta lineup are pitchers Quinn Allen (2.08 earned run average) and Jeff Bouchard (0.76).

Dwelling exhibit series at Surrey Arts Centre Black Press HOW HAVE notions of house and home changed since

the end of the last century? How do artists represent these changes in their art? From the increasingly blurred boundaries between work and play to the array of new ‘smart home’ gadgetry available to home owners, and from the condensed living quarters of new condos to the new strategies working parents create to occupy their latch key children, the changing nature of what constitutes ‘the domestic’ is never far away from the daily news. Surrey Art Gallery presents the exhibition series Dwelling consisting of Yam Lau: Room, Sitely Premises, and Domestic Lives: Works from the Permanent Collection, which explore the inner and outer limits

of `the domestic’. Yam Lau: Room combines photography, video and digital animation to represent intimate domestic spaces. Sitely Premises looks back over the past five decades at innovative artwork situated in the exterior spaces of West Coast single family homes. Domestic Lives: Works from the Permanent Collection explores the many relationships people have to their homes, in a wide variety of media. All three exhibitions officially launch tomorrow with an artist talk and opening reception, and continue into June. The free artist talk with Toronto-based artist Yam Lau takes place April 9, 2-5:30 p.m. A curator’s tour with Jordan Strom and Brian Foreman takes place April 21, 7:30-9 p.m.

Delta author up for prize

Thank you Surrey

Winners announced April 21 by Sheila Reynolds NORTH DELTA author Gurjinder Basran

is among the finalists for this year’s BC Book Prizes. The first-time novelist is up for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize for her book Everything Was Good-Bye. Basran, 38, has drawn partly from personal experience for her debut novel, which centres around a young IndoCanadian woman who is struggling as she grows up, trying to find a balance between her desire for independence and what is culturally acceptable. Like Basran herself, Meena is raised by her widowed mother. She knows she can’t have the freedom of her peers, but isn’t necessarily prepared to submit to the life – which includes an arranged

marriage – that is expected of her. “It’s a book about a woman’s desire to be free, to find her voice,” said Basran, a mom-of-two who met her husband in college. Everything Was Good-Bye was a top 100 finisher in the 2006 Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award (as a manuscript) and won the 2010 Search for the Great B.C. Novel Contest. Basran is a relative newcomer alongside other Book Prize nominees, such as Douglas Coupland and Jack Whyte. A total of 35 authors are shortlisted in seven categories. Winners will be awarded a collective cash prize worth $14,000 Winners of the 27th-annual prizes will be announced at a gala event April 21.

Artist Krista Eaton’s work on exhibit Black Press A NEW SHOW of paintings – Krista

Eaton: Found In Nature – runs until April 29 at Semiahmoo Arts’ gallery, 90 - 1959 152 St (Windsor Square). “In this show I hope to portray my love for colour and expression of the joy found in nature; the beauty of flowers, or landscape, or in a bowl of fruit,” Eaton said. A graduate of the Emily Carr School of Art and Design, Eaton began her professional career in 2003, and – although she has worked with

a wide range of media – now paints exclusively in acrylics. The Crescent Beach-based painter is a member of the Canadian Federation of Artists and the White Rock and South Surrey Art Society. She has had more than 20 onewoman shows at different Lower Mainland venues, including the West Vancouver Public Library, and has sold to collectors in Canada, the U.S., Britain, Germany, Belgium and Taiwan.

Jack Monk was honoured Monday with a Friends of Heritage Award for his efforts to preserve the Semiahmoo Heritage Trail and other city work.

Trailblazer honoured

A Where’s the plant food? Gordon Groening woke up April 1 to find the lawn of his Cloverdale covered with 1,000 plastic forks. Apparently his daughters Heather and Michelle, and their friend Melissa Law, had been ‘poking’ fun throughout the night to give Gordon a surprise on April Fool’s morning. ‘If the weather would dry up, we could have a picnic,’ he told them.

South Surrey man who became the voice of the Semiahmoo Heritage Trail was honoured this week with a Friends of Heritage Award for his efforts. Jack Monk was recognized Monday at Surrey City Hall as a steward of civic heritage. Thinking back on how he got involved, Monk said standing up for heritage was not a role he’d ever planned on playing. “Not a bit,” the 83-year-old said. “It grew on us gradually. We got very much involved starting in 2003.” That’s when Monk – whose home backs onto the trail – and others attended a developer’s information meeting about a townhouse project proposed to abut the trail, which stretches from 20 Avenue just west of 152 Street, south to the Nicomekl River. They learned that if the project went ahead as proposed – with 51 townhomes and 95 parking stalls – it would result in the loss of more than 200 trees, including many significant trees from the trail itself. “When (the developer) told us there’d be no trees left, we decided that was the time to start,” Monk said. “A couple of us decided to take it on.” The determination didn’t stop the project from proceeding, but it did lead to the developer scaling it back a bit. Approximately 30 of the trees were saved, a result Monk

describes as “a small victory. It gave us intent to carry on.” The effort gave birth to the Friends of the Semiahmoo Heritage Trail, a group that, to this day, works to preserve the trail in its natural state and educate others on its value. Along the way, members have removed hundreds of invasive species and replanted an equal, if not greater, number of native trees and shrubs.

Six others celebrated in Surrey ASIDE FROM MONK, seven other Surrey residents were

recognized with heritage awards Monday. Other recipients included Patrick and Susan Harrison, for their commitment to maintaining the historic character and integrity of the Collishaw House; John MacDonald, for researching and documenting the 1861 Kennedy Trail and producing an informational map; Brian Croft, for highlighting Cloverdale’s historic town centre through artwork titled Cloverdale 1913; Victoria Parr, for contributions toward preserving Surrey’s history by recording 35 interviews with longtime residents and donating the tapes to the Surrey Archives; and Philip Aguire, of Old Surrey Restaurant, for his significant contribution toward the preservation of the Burkart House.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University is fighting back against homophobia to create a more inclusive campus for all students. Positive Space Kwantlen aims to increase support and awareness for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people and issues on all four Kwantlen campuses. The campaign will help create an open and inclusive university community that values and supports sexual and gender diversity; furthermore, it advocates a learning atmosphere that is free of discrimination or harassment on the basis of sexual orientations and gender identities. Positive Space Kwantlen is a joint effort between Kwantlen Polytechnic University, the Kwantlen Student Association (KSA) and Pride Kwantlen. On Feb. 22, the program officially kicked off with an event that included informative presentations and the unveiling of the Positive Space logo to all

Kwantlen students, staff, faculty, and members of the greater community. “LGBTQ students are largely invisible at Kwantlen. This campaign is the first step in addressing that and creating a long-term positive change,” said KSA queer liaison Matthew DiMera.” The new initiative will train volunteers, identify LGBTQ-positive spaces and resources, facilitate campus workshops on issues relating to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and conduct awareness and publicity campaigns. “This is an important initiative in building an inclusive community at Kwantlen,” commented Jody Gordon, associate vice president, students. “We are pleased to be partnering with our student association in support of our LGBTQ students, staff and faculty.” The Positive Space campaign is part of Kwantlen’s long-term commitment to creating and maintaining a respectful work and learning environment for all of its students, staff and faculty. newsroom@surreyleader.com

Native to the Bosold fashioned garden phorus, a windy strait novelty to the forefront of the culinary that separates Europe and Asia, rhubarb has world. It combines so well with berries, a long and interesting history of treating stone fruits and many aliments and apples in pies and was held in high adds a delicious tang regard through several to sauces, preserves, Chinese dynasties. muffins, chutneys It’s quite funny that and even cold Brian Minter soups. A cool-loving rhubarb wasn’t popular in Britain until perennial vegetable, growing easily sugar became affordable in the 17th century. After that, from rather large fleshy rhizomes, rhubarb was so popular in the rhubarb (Rheum x hybridium) is British Isles that it was comparable hardy to zone 2, but in warmer

zone 10 climates, it is treated like an annual. Rhubarb stalks can be harvested over an eight- to 10-week period each spring, and then the plant should be allowed to recover and regrow over the summer and fall months. Rhubarb leaves are poisonous. This is one of the most ideal times of the year to plant rhubarb, but look for the largest roots you can find with two or more eyes. They are available now as bare root clumps, as well as freshly potted roots. It’s important to get them planted as soon as possible because they need two years of growing time to become established enough to begin harvesting. Rhubarb plants love a rich, well-

drained soil. If you have established clumps, they are probably already showing growth in spite of the cold weather, and mulching existing stalks with well rotted manures gets them off to a great start. You can speed up your harvesting time by covering them with a deep clay pot flipped upside down. For the first few seasons, harvest only for four to five weeks to make sure the young plants are not too stressed. When you harvest rhubarb, make sure you pull out the stalk by grabbing the base of the stalk and tugging sideways and outward. If the stalk does not come cleanly out of the root, be sure to pull off the stumpy end left attached to the root in order to prevent

decay. Rhubarb should never be harvested with a knife. To keep rhubarb healthy and growing, never remove all its leaves, and stop harvesting when smaller stalks appear in late spring/ early summer. When flowers appear in late spring, cut them out and feed the clump well to get it back into a vegetative state. Rhubarb will perform okay in containers, but for long term enjoyment, it does far better when planted in the ground. Rhubarb takes so little space and can add so much flavour to so many dishes, it’s well worth the time to pop in a few plants.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Ryan “Rex�. Our “Squalla Souljah� passed away peacefully on April 3, 2011 in Vancouver, BC. Ryan is survived by his Mother and Dad, Tamara and Dudley; brothers Randy and Quentin; Grandparents Rosemarie and Harry, Andrew and Nola; Aunts Chelsea and Collette, extended family and a multitude of cherished friends. Ryan was an amazing son, brother and friend with incredible strength and determination. He remained positive and never complained no matter what life sent his way. Ryan will always be remembered for his extraordinary way of looking at life, “Just go with the flow, it is what it is� and “chill� he would say, even when it hurt. Though his years were few, he left an impression on all who knew him that will last a lifetime. Ryan will forever remain close to our hearts and in our thoughts. Public visitation will be available for those wishing to pay their last respects beginning at 10:00am, Saturday April 9, 2011 at the Northwood United Church 8855 - 156 St Surrey, BC. A service to commemorate Ryan’s life will follow at 11:30 am with a reception at 12:30pm; concluding with a 2:00pm graveside ceremony at Valley View Cemetery 14660 - 72 Ave. Surrey, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Ryan may be made to the Sickle Cell Anemia Association of Ontario (www.siclecellontario.com) 202 - 3199 Bathurst S treet, Toronto, ON M6A2B2 or the Kidney Foundation of British Columbia.
