Better bus service by spring: TransLink
Doctors, nurses and volunteers with Operation Rainbow provide free surgery to kids in need
Surrey, Delta, Langley likely to benefit from transit schedule shuffle
by Boaz Joseph
L
ast fall, a group of 26 westerners, exhausted by a crossPacific flight and a five-hour bus ride through the hazy agricultural patchwork of north-central China, were greeted by hundreds of well-wishers in the “small city” of Linyi, home to 10 million people. Following an indoor ceremony of banners, colours and speeches, the visitors got down to business – work that would involve 102 operations over 10 days for 76 young patients who needed facial reconstructive surgery. A cleft lip or palate isn’t a lifethreatening condition. In B.C., babies born with the split in the lip or an opening in the roof of the mouth – about 200 a year – are operated on quickly and safely. It’s not a major medical concern.

will make buses more frequent in some parts of Metro Vancouver and more scarce on other routes should start to become noticeable this spring. TransLink’s so-called service optimization initiative aims to wring more revenue out of the transit system with the same budget and number of service hours. “We’re not cutting back service, but we’re moving it around from where it’s not doing much good to where it will do more good,” spokesman Ken Hardie said. Boosting service on runs at times where full buses drive by passengers waiting by the road and trimming back Ken Hardie the schedule when buses run near empty should, TransLink projects, have the effect of improving performance overall, carrying more passengers and increasing fare revenue. It estimates an extra $10 to $15 million per year could be generated through the planned reshuffling of about 4.5 per cent of total service hours.
Baby #22 – given a number because of translation and pronunciation difficulties in China – underwent surgery for a bilateral cleft lip as well as a cleft palate.

Minister defends re-think of Pattullo plans Renovating old span would just buy time: Watts by Jeff Nagel TRANSPORTATION MINISTER Shir-
ley Bond is defending a move to consider fixing up the antiquated Pattullo Bridge rather than tearing it down and building a replacement. A refurbishment of the existing 73-year-old bridge – which is far narrower than modern standards allow and Dianne Watts the site of many fatal crashes over the years – would avoid the prickly political issue of putting tolls on a new replacement bridge between Surrey and New Westminster. “All of us want Shirley Bond to work to build a structure for the long term that’s safe,” Bond said. “We also do need to consider the impact of tolls.” Both Bond and previous transportation minister Kevin Falcon had pledged to seek ways to avoid making the Pattullo the third toll bridge over the Fraser, leaving the Alex Fraser Bridge as the nearest free alternative.

Reallocation of regional bus service began last year, and will continue in April, September and December, TransLink says.
April: ‘Pretty good’ service lifts From page 1 It’s expected to be a fine-tuning of the schedule, with changes in bus frequency rather than elimination of entire routes. “The intent is to nip-and-tuck-out service hours that are really not being utilized and reallocate them to different parts of the system,” Hardie said. It’s too early to say which runs and times stand to gain and which stand to be cut, he said. But areas like Surrey, Delta and Langley should be net beneficiaries. “There will be some pretty good lifts in service in the South of Fraser in April as a result of the service optimization,” Hardie predicted. TransLink acknowledges its service south of the river has not yet caught up to what’s required by the rapidly growing population, he said. He downplayed the impact on routes where service will be
trimmed and passengers will wait longer for a bus. “We don’t want to raise general concern that there will be widespread reductions in service,” he said. “Done appropriately, very few people will notice.” Hardie said a few of the changes actually started to happen in December with little fanfare. Changes that start in April will still be modest, Hardie said, with more reallocation of service to come in September and December. TransLink has set out principles to guide the changes. They call for the protection of service to transit-dependent riders who don’t own cars; maintaining runs that are strategic in connecting the network; and protecting growing markets that are experiencing substantial ridership increases. The strategy is part of TransLink’s effort to work within its budget – which climbed by $130 million a year when tax and fare hikes were approved in 2009 – until it gets approval to collect more revenue for a more ambitious expansion of the system.
“We don’t want to raise general concern that there will be widespread reductions in service.” TransLink spokesperson Ken Hardie
Surrey stays mum on former presidents’ price tag Speaking fees for Bill Clinton hover at about $300K; George W. Bush nets approximately $150K by Kevin Diakiw THE CITY of Surrey says the cost
Bill Clinton
of bringing former U.S. presidents to speak here later this year will not be made public, as their rates vary depending on the events. Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, former Democrat and Republican presidents respectively, are coming to Surrey this fall to speak at the annual Surrey Regional Economic Summit. Coun. Linda Hepner said as part of the deal to bring them here, their rates can’t be disclosed publicly. However, at past engagements, Clinton has typically charged in the neighbourhood of $300,000
and Bush required about $150,000 – a total of $450,000 for the pair for the day. Mayor Dianne Watts said that’s much more than what’s being charged for the Surrey event. Clinton has a friend in the Vancouver area who flies him up here periodically, which gave the city the opportunity to invite him here for much less. “Contractually, we cannot talk about their fees,” Watts said. “But I will say that taxpayer dollars are not funding their speaking engagements at the summit. Those costs will be covered off by sponsors and ticket sales.” Hepner said the city is a minor sponsor of the event, contributing up to $20,000 to pay for printing and other sundry costs.
As for police overtime costs to bolster security, Hepner said that would be a federal matter. Hepner said as soon as the city announced the two former American presidents were coming, the phone started ringing. Companies were lining up to have their name attached to the summit by way of sponsorship. “They were calling us,” a surprised Hepner said. Watts said the main sponsors are mostly financial institutions and investment organizations. The summit will be held at the Sheraton Guildford Vancouver on Thursday, Oct. 20. Clinton and Bush are slated to make their presentations later in the day. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Bond: ‘I don’t think a new bridge is off the table at all’ From page 3
on how a new Pattullo would connect with area roads last fall were postponed after the decision to re-examine options to refurbish the existing bridge instead of building new. Bond denied her ministry directed
TransLink had committed in 2008 to build a new six-lane bridge and planning has been underway since then on the basis it would be financed through tolls. But public hearings
TransLink to re-examine the issue, adding it was “a mutual decision” of staff from both agencies who sit on a technical steering committee. “I don’t think a new bridge is off the table at all,” she said. “TransLink is doing
the due diligence necessary before proceeding with what could turn out to be a billion-dollar project.” TransLink has jurisdiction over the Pattullo and will make the final decisions on what to build, she added.
The ministry has also questioned the scope of the plan to build a new bridge, particularly whether a six-lane bridge is justified or whether a four-lane span is sufficient. “We want best value for taxpayer dollars
and we want safety,” Bond added. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says a new bridge is required, adding she’s concerned a renovation of the old one might add only 10 years life and leave taxpayers on the hook for an expensive

replacement later on. “You’re just buying some time,” she said. “At the end of the day, that bridge does need to be replaced.” But Watts said a careful reassessment of the assumptions and plans made to date may be wise, adding she looks forward to seeing any justification for fixing rather than replacing the Pattullo. Watts also doesn’t want to see the bridge tolled and continues to advocate for a new policy of “fair tolling” in the region. Past studies looked at options like adding a median barrier and banning trucks or reducing the Pattullo to three lanes with a counterflow, like the Lions Gate Bridge. TransLink was advised to build a new bridge and that the existing one would last at most another 50 years. Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Patil Huberman said the bridge must be replaced without delay. “This bridge is a key arterial connector in a region that is and will continue to experience explosive growth with the obvious impact on road transportation and transit,” she said. Some critics are happy the bridge building plan is on hold and may be scrapped. Freeway expansion opponent Eric Doherty, of the group Gateway Sucks, called it great news. “This is a case of misplaced priorities,” he said. “We can’t be expected to spend a billion dollars on a new bridge that’s not really needed when there isn’t enough money to do the Evergreen Line or rapid transit on King George (Boulevard) in Surrey.” Doherty said it’s been unclear so far how a six-lane Pattullo replacement was going to work on the New Westminster side without demolishing houses to punch through new lanes. He said any delay on the Pattullo will give more opportunity to reconsider the related North Fraser Perimeter Road and United Boulevard extension that he said are opposed by significant numbers of New Westminster residents. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Big complex eyed for Cloverdale City asking for partners to build 10,000-seat facility for future indoor rodeos by Kevin Diakiw THE CITY is seeking a partner to help build a 10,000-seat complex on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, a building suitable for hosting future indoor rodeos and possibly hockey games. According to an expression of interest put out by the city, the building will be a “state-of-the-art� facility that can be used for sport, exhibitions, trade shows, conventions, cultural programs, concerts and similar events. The $50- to $80-million facility will be a public-private partnership, with the city and a yet-to-be chosen partner splitting the costs. The seating capacity puts the scale at about double the Langley Events Centre and larger than any sporting facility outside of B.C. Place and Rogers Arena in Vancouver. About a dozen propo-
nents went to city hall recently and discussed possible options for the arena, which would be located on the north side of the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, near 176 Street and 64 Avenue. Bill Reid, executive director for the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, said the complex is just what the community needs. “The city is putting the land in the package to make it work,� Reid said. One of the caveats is that the facility must provide an indoor venue for the annual May long weekend rodeo. Mayor Dianne Watts said it’s time something was done with aging infrastructure at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds. “The buildings are getting very, very old,� Watts said. “We’ve had trade shows leave because of the condition of the buildings. So it’s time we looked at new options.�
She isn’t aware of any discussions with sports teams that might want to use the facility. The city had been in discussions with the Whitecaps FC, which wanted a practice venue on the other side of the property, closer to Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino. Watts said she’s not been made aware of how those discussions are going. It’s expected the existing amphitheatre, youth skate park and Stetson Bowl would be kept as part of any successful proposal. Reid said that he’s heard the Stetson Bowl field would be replaced with astroturf, allowing it to be used for soccer, football, baseball and grass hockey by both the city and the school district. Watts said she expects to see specific proposals by March 17. “Then we’ll move forward on that basis,
depending on what we have,� Watts said. The early stage hasn’t done anything to quell
by Jennifer Lang A LARGE EXCAVATOR began tearing
down the Cloverdale Mall Tuesday, its mighty jaws crunching into wooden beams and boards, sending clouds of sawdust and bits of debris into the air. It started with the entrance way of the landmark mall’s former anchor store, Safeway. The crisp, dusty scent of freshly milled lumber hung in the air. “It’s a little sad to see it go, isn’t it?� remarked one woman who stopped to take a closer look. “It’s a piece of Cloverdale history,� she said, adding she still missed the Safeway and its staff. The Safeway store closed in the mid-2000s, precipitating the mall’s inevitable decline. “When they took the liquor store

out, that’s what killed it,� said another onlooker, who was surprised to learn the building was finally coming down. The leaking, aging mall’s half-dozen remaining tenants – ranging from an insurance company to a theatre troupe – were out at the end of October. The final two tenants – a small Sikh temple and a soup kitchen run by local churches – left at the end of January. Demolition crews have been removing drywall, asbestos and other materials from the interior for several weeks, trucking materials to recycling facilities. Utilities will also be removing infrastructure as part of the demolition process. The mall is being torn down to make way for a new development called Cloverdale West Village, a mix of commercial and residential units. Construction on the project’s first phase is expected to get underway later this year. Phase one will consist of a single wood-frame, five-storey building with 22,000 square feet of commercial space, an underground parking lot and 100 residential units on the southwest portion of the site. The first phase will include a new home for the Cloverdale Legion that’s about the same size as the current branch at 10,000-sq.-ft.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7
Speak up against talking, texting on road Canadian education doesn’t compare
I READ JEFF NAGEL’S article on distracted driving
(“Deadly driving habits,” The Leader, Feb. 4). I find it appalling that we continue the rhetoric. The government finally introduced legislation banning the use of cellphones and texting while driving. Of course, this should have been implemented from the beginning, but that would have required common sense which seems to be sorely lacking these days. It’s true when they say that a lot of people are addicted to these devices, but I believe that government, police, ICBC and all parties have
to take a zero-tolerance position. There are a number of people who believe ICBC should not provide insurance coverage to those who cause accidents while distracted. There have also been million-dollar lawsuits against these drivers. It is up to all of us to speak up. These distracted drivers are oblivious to the dangers and show a complete lack of respect to other drivers. We can’t keep allowing this to go on while people are being killed and maimed by these selfish people. They should not only be severely fined, but
also lose their insurance and be taken off our roads. I also believe that car manufacturers have to be held accountable for technologies such as GPS, etc. and demonstrate that they are not distracting. They say there are too many rules and regulations but not in this case. All parties have a duty to protect society and in turn, protect themselves and their loved ones.

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER
A letter writer suggests that new neighbourhoods such as the Delsom community in North Delta are too expensive for regular families to afford.
Few homes for the ordinary
THE ROOM was full this week at the North Delta Area Plan Review meeting. People expressed concerns about many topics, but two issues kept recurring: what to do about density and the need for improved transit. Obviously, the two topics are related – you need a certain amount of density to support a good transit system. The main question however, is what kind of density will North Delta end up with? If we try to preserve neighbourhoods of big detached houses on big lots, we’ll end up with increased rental units creating density – some legal and some illegal. More people will face long-term renting if they want to live in part of a detached house in Delta.
Very few ordinary people, for example, can pay over $780,000 for a home, which is what the new Delsom detached homes are now selling for. With land is so expensive all over Metro Vancouver, Delta needs a new type of home that ordinary young families can afford. Four-storey or mid-rises along Scott Road may work for some retirees and single people, but many young ordinary families want ground-oriented living so they can enjoy a yard. Townhouses are not the answer for everyone either. They’re not as affordable as their purchase price suggests because of strata fees, levies and the challenge of working within a strata council. Since, according to the Delta
Housing Task Force, the average family size in Delta is now less than three, we need to try a housing type that is extremely rare in Metro Vancouver, but which some designers, planners and environmentalists have been calling for decades: Smaller fee simple homes on smaller lots. The Delta Housing Task Force Report pointed out that the many houses built in the ’60s, ’70s and ‘80s in Delta are about to be either demolished or extensively renovated. Now is a great time for Delta to embrace new ideas. For example, someone who intended to demolish an older home could be encouraged to build three small, innovative homes in its place as a pilot project or even as part of a design competition.
If most retirees and emptynesters could become potential micro-developers, we would not end up with “cookie cutter” small homes, but rather with a variety of small houses of different types built over time by different people. Once a few of these units were actually built, people would be able to recognize the wisdom and beauty of smaller ground-oriented living. Delta could become one of the most desirable places in Metro Vancouver for ordinary families to live in, if we’re willing to discover that small is beautiful when it comes to fee simple homes. Kathleen Higgins North Delta
Replace the Pattullo In love’s embrace THE SURREY BOARD of Trade is
extremely disappointed to hear that the province has ordered a suspension of the design work on the replacement of the 73-year-old Pattullo Bridge, while it reconsiders fixing it up instead of replacing it. A report from Delcan Consulting in 2008, recommended against rehabilitating the existing structure, prompting former TransLink CEO, Tom Prendergast, to state, “Our direction will be to build an entirely new bridge and tear the old one down.” Prendergast further said it would cost as much to rehabilitate the Pattullo to last 50 years as it would to build a six-
lane bridge to last 100 years. If that was true just over two years ago, how is it any different now? This bridge is a key arterial connector in a region that is, and will continue, to, experience explosive growth with the obvious impact on road transportation and transit. It must be replaced – without delay. For the sake of the economic integrity of this region, and the whole of the Lower Mainland, we urge the province to restart the design process and get on with replacing the bridge. Anita Huberman, CEO Surrey Board of Trade
THE RECENT column by Tom Fletcher reflects what I have been saying for many, many years. It is time people wise up and no longer believe the lies told by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation that their priority is our children’s education instead of their paycheques. I am a classic example of how low our level of education has fallen. I was raised in Holland and became a high school drop-out in Grade 10 having very poor grades. At age 42, I was required to present a Grade 12 Equivalence Certificate to enter my company’s machinist-tool and diemaker apprenticeship. Without attending any more classes, as suggested by Vancouver Vocational Institute, I passed all tests “with flying colours.” Another test showed that my intelligence rated in the top five per cent of Canadians. All through my five-year apprenticeship I was in the top three of my class joined by another apprentice of the same country. Both of us were amazed that we only needed half the time than others (of which, some had just completed high school) to finish our assignments. How poorly our children are educated... I found out earlier when my daughter started algebra and trigonometry in Grade 11, something I started back home in Grade 7 – as well as French, English, German and Dutch. I further attended 18 different compulsory subjects each week, including, book-keeping, three hours of P.E. and more. Our seven subjects each day were 55 minutes long with a fiveminute class change, making it seven hours of learning each day with lots of homework for almost all subjects as well. All this is a far cry for the part time our students attend schools in B.C. and the poor education they receive, including many of the useless subjects they are allowed to choose.
AS VALENTINE’S DAY approaches, I cannot help but think
of the untapped potential of love. Life is about relationships and making connections. The memories you create with the people in your life is your legacy in part. As a spiritual person, I feel love is even more important. Love is evidence of God’s spiritual energy within us. This spiritual energy is everywhere and connects all of humanity and creation. My response to non-believers is simple. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by embracing love and spirituality. If the decision-makers of the world actually believed in this then there would be more caring, sharing, and concern for humanity. Love can make the world go around. We just have to give it a chance. Happy Valentine’s Day. Alex Sangha, Delta

Delta residents to see 2.98% tax increase Homeowners to shell out $60 extra for utilities by Kristine Salzmann THE AVERAGE Delta hom-
eowner will pay an additional $115 in fees and taxes this year. A Delta resident with a home assessed at $536,000 in 2011 will pay about $55 more in property taxes, as well as $60 more for utilities. On Monday, Delta council approved staff ’s 2011 financial plan and an overall tax increase of 2.98 per cent. The hike includes a 2.48-per-cent increase for general municipal services and a 0.5-per-cent increase for additional police staffing. Delta’s director of finance Karl Preuss said staff originally presented a higher tax increase but council asked them to revisit it. The $250-million financial plan for 2011 includes $164 million budgeted for operating costs and $86 million for the capital plan. Of the capital costs, just under $59 million is budgeted for new infrastructure projects, including energy and greenhouse gas emission reductions at the Ladner Leisure Centre, South Delta Recreation Centre gym refurbishment, a facility for the Delta Community Animal Shelter (which is looking for a new home away from the incoming South Fraser Perimeter Road), and funding toward Ladner Harbour sediment management.

Delta byelection Bose committed to SCC results mirror spending Longtime councillor will run in November
by Kevin Diakiw
BOB BOSE said rumours of
Last fall’s campaign financial numbers out by Kristine Salzmann THE CANDIDATES
who spent the most campaigning during last fall’s municipal byelection in Delta received the most votes at the polls. New Coun. Ian Paton, who got 33.89 per cent of the vote, was backed by the Delta Independent Voters’ Association (DIVA), an electoral organization which also supports Mayor Lois Jackson, Coun. Scott Hamilton, and Coun. Robert Campbell. DIVA received $41,050 in campaign contributions for Paton from numerous donors, including $3,000 from Alpha Aviation, $2,000 from Westshore Terminals, Talisman Homes, Millenium Pacific Greenhouses, and Highmark Homes and $1,000 from Shato Holdings, among others. Many smaller donations (up to $500) were made by people and businesses in the local farming community. DIVA’s expenses totaled $38,167.42. Candidate Sylvia Bishop, who placed second with 27.28 per cent of the vote, received a total of $33,969.52 in campaign contributions, with the largest contributions coming from herself ($5,258.76) and CUPE B.C. ($5,900), which is listed as a campaign organizer. She also received many small contributions from a long list of individual donors,
including $100 from Delta-South MLA Vicki Huntington, $200 from Delta-North MLA Guy Gentner, and $200 from the grassroots organization Save the Southlands. The remaining candidates’ financial disclosures, in order of how they did at the polls, were as follows: • Maria DeVries – 2,176 votes, $20,718.34 in contributions ($16,711.91 from herself), $17,799.12 in expenses. • Sandeep Pandher – 1,590 votes, $14,025.59 contributions and expenses. • Amy Ghuman Sara – 1,441 votes, $8,650 in contributions, $8,472.55 in expenses. • Kathleen Higgins – 1,137 votes, $2,675 in contributions, $2,819.15 in expenses. • Peter Harms – 164 votes, $4,182.19 in contributions and expenses (all out of pocket). • Ray Robinson – 82 votes, zero in contributions/expenses. It’s debatable whether the amount of money spent during an election is directly related to electoral success. In Richmond’s last municipal election, candidate Cynthia Chen spent almost $40,000 but failed to win a seat on council, although other successful candidates had more modest budgets. Every candidate is required to submit a campaign financing disclosure statement within 120 days of the
general election. All statements are now available on the Corporation of Delta web site (visit http://elections. corp.delta.bc.ca). reporter@southdeltaleader.com
his political demise have been greatly exaggerated. It’s long been thought, and recently published, that the veteran Surrey councillor will not run in this November’s civic election. It’s patently wrong, says Bose. “It’s absolutely untrue, I’ve made my commitment to the Surrey Civic Coalition (SCC) and I’ll be seeking their support,” Bose said. Their support is a given, as the party recently voted to allow incumbents and uncontested nomination.

TRANSLINK MAY install digital billboards on some of its properties to pull in more cash. The idea is under consideration by the TransLink board, which was recently briefed on the potential. Spokesman Ken Hardie said the transportation authority will look at what locations might be suitable for billboards, particularly electronic ones. “We owe it to everybody to have a good look at it,” he said. “Every dollar we raise that way is a dollar we don’t have to raise from taxes and fares.” TransLink already raises at least $9 million a year through advertising but aims to pull in even more. LED billboards have brought big-screen videostyle outdoor advertising to select spots in Vancouver and the North Shore. The City of Surrey has also approved digital billboards for the approaches to some of its bridges. Hardie stressed the concept is in its early stages and had no details on how much revenue could be earned or where TransLink might install billboards. “We have many, many locations where there’s high traffic, with many people going by,” he said. But TransLink could conceivably look at park-
and-ride lots, exteriors of SkyTrain stations and even places where overhead rapid transit guideways cross major roads. Canada Line operators previously sought to install digital billboards outside rapid transit stations in Richmond, but the idea was rejected in 2009 by council, with the mayor calling the displays hazardous to vehicle traffic. The Richmond proposal involved 10-by-10 foot LED screens at two stations as well as 360-degree digital information kiosks at ground level. Existing displays in Metro Vancouver include 11-by-22 foot LED billboards outside BC Place Stadium and larger 14-by-48 foot displays installed by the Squamish Nation on reserve land at the approaches to the Burrard and Lions Gate bridges. Lamar Transit Advertising president Byron Montgomery confirmed he is advising TransLink on the matter but could not comment further. TransLink also recently added advertising to its monthly transit passes. Hardie said riders “grumbled a bit” but the ads bring in $84,000 a year, enough to pay for the printing of the passes.

Kwantlen students vote for customized U-Pass Will run own inter-campus shuttle KWANTLEN Polytechnic
University students have voted 65 per cent in favour of adopting a TransLink U-Pass, but with a major wrinkle. They intend to run their own shuttle service between the four Kwantlen campuses in Richmond, Langley and Surrey (Newton and Cloverdale) – paid for through an add-on fee that conveys other benefits as well. Their planned MultiPass would cost Kwantlen students $40 a month, with $30 of that going to TransLink. Besides unlimited regular transit service and the inter-campus shuttle, students would get a gym membership, a delivery discount on organic food and access to on-campus car rentals. Kwantlen Student Association spokesman Nathan Griffiths said the shuttle will cost an estimated $500,000 a year but is critical to the plan working. “It’s going to revolutionize the culture on campus,” he said.
“TransLink has been unable or unwilling to fill that need and the student association has stepped up.” Kwantlen students previously complained TransLink service was too ineffective south of the Fraser to make the standard $30-a-month TransLink U-Pass attractive enough. They even staged a beat-the-bus race last fall that saw a runner go from campus to campus faster than a student who took the bus. Now that the Kwantlen referendum has passed, the KSA is aiming to have the U-Pass in place by May and the Multipass components, including the shuttle, ready for next September. TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said TransLink isn’t yet in a position to offer enhanced service to serve Kwantlen students but applauded their ingenuity in crafting an enhanced pass. “They get full marks for creativity and thinking beyond the box on that one,” he said. Kwantlen is the
last major institution to adopt the U-Pass, ending fears that its students might be left out. Students at Vancouver Community College, Douglas College, Emily Carr University of Art and Design and BCIT have all voted already to adopt the U-Pass, now reduced in price to $30 a month after the province mandated a standard, consistent rate for all. The institutions that already have the U-Pass – Langara, Capilano University, UBC and SFU – will have to vote again before September to adopt the new system. For UBC and SFU students, it will mean an increase in the monthly price they pay, from around $25 to $30.
Are you
Hardie said TransLink is tightening up administration of the passes to prevent abuse. “We had experienced a lot of misuse of passes, students selling them, passes being reported lost and then replaced and then the supposedly lost passes showing up in circulation someplace else.” Instead of one U-Pass good for an entire term, students will now get a series of monthly passes that they’ll display along with their student card. That will change once TransLink’s smart card system arrives in 2013. By then, student cards will include a U-Pass chip that will be detected by the new system.

The group of doctors, nurses and support staff volunteer to provide free reconstructive plastic surgery for cleft lip and palate deformities to children in need. Led by plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Kimit Rai since the non-profit society’s formation in 1998, ORC has performed surgeries on more than 1,800 children in 28 missions in countries such as Cambodia, India, Mexico, the Philippines and Lebanon. Each mission involves the coordination of surgeons, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, nurses (pre-op, OR and recovery) and support staff, along with the shipping surgical equipment, lights, anesthesia machines and drugs, antibiotics and other supplies. Most recently, the mission coordinator was Surrey nurse Rema Nair. Last year’s China mission came with its own set of unique challenges. Hundreds of patients showed up at the hospital, which kept society chairperson John Buis busy taking photos of the babies and children to keep track of the faces during in-take

Quick to smile before the surgery, the youngster woke up from the two-hour surgery looking confused but with only a couple of small scars on his upper lip. Some patients required more than one surgery over the course
of the 10 days. The mission was so successful, says Rai, that the Chinese hospital asked ORC to return to teach local doctors and nurses how to do their own surgeries. CONTINUED / Page 13

Friday, February 11, 2011 Surrey/North Delta Leader 13 ebarBuis, a handlebarmoustacheoed 34-year member of the RCMP ntally – who coincidentally was promoted to StaffSergeant/Majorr while airborne on thee way to China – becamee involved with ORC through his own need for reconstructive surgery. Buis was shot in both thighs while on duty in Burnaby in 1979 and required seven surgeries over the next decade – all performed by Rai, who worked at Royal Columbian Hospital. o The two got to er well know each other over the years. Buis’ experience with two United Nations missions in Bosnia and East Timor would help ORC deal with bureaucracy and logistics in two of its latest missions. Rai, a Malaysian Army surgeon in the 1960s, turned to reconstructive surgery after meeting a Canadian doctor and getting a fellowship in the specialty in a Canadian hospital. In the early ‘90s, Rai travelled with a fellow surgeon on an American mission to the Philippines. “We did some surgeries on cleft lip and palate patients and I felt really charged up,” he says in his Vancouver office. “I felt really good at fixing children.” A year later, he convinced four Canadian nurses to come with the same American group. Over time, he realized he could push the Canadian medical community to better represent itself. Several years and many discussions later, ORC was founded – supported by fundraising and volunteers. So far, two 10-day missions have taken
place each year, but that may soon be reduced to just one due to a combination of the stressful nature of the missions and a lack of money. Each trip costs about $28,000 in supplies alone, and up to $70,000 including plane tickets, food and accommodations (if the latter two are not provided by the host country, which is sometimes the case). Often, ORC supplies are left in the hospital for locals to use once the team departs. In one case, surgical drapes were left as sheets on the bare-wire post-op beds in a primitive Cambodian hospital. Just one mission, in Indonesia in 2009, would be described as unsuccessful. “Everything was organized and we were ready to operate, but somehow the local anesthesiologists couldn’t get along,” explains Rai. “There was friction between our doctors and their doctors.” After not being able to get permission to be responsible for the
patien the ORC group patients, took the next flight out. “O of 28 missions, I “Out don’t think one failure is too b bad,” says Rai. g In general, the Canav dian volunteers have been welcomed with ope arms – followed open by post-surgery sm smiles. “When we go to the countries, we teach (medical staff ) pediatrics, we teach them nursing, we teach them how t operate, we to t teach them posto operative recovery. W also take our We o residents who own ar training in are pl plastic surgery from C Canada to learn, so th there’s an education co component to that.” Gratitude for ORC v volunteers has been sh shown in many di erent ways: A lot diff to of toasting took place in China. In Mexico, they received wrapped gifts. In India, they
were hugged often. In the Philippines, they got baskets of fruits and vegetables. And in Lebanon came pistachios. “They’re very pleased to see you because you’re treating their children,” says Rai. “They were tickled pink to have us there,” volunteer videographer Gary Hanney said of the China mission. In March, Operation Rainbow returns for a second time to the Himalayas. For more information or learn how you can sponsor a smile, visit http://operationrainbowcanada.com bjoseph@surreyleader.com

Bomb maker appeals perjury conviction Jeff Nagel
Reyat was sentenced to nine years for lying at Air India trial
INDERJIT Singh Reyat is
appealing his conviction and nine-year sentence for perjury in the Air India bombing trial that ended with the acquittal of his two alleged coconspirators. He was the only person ever convicted and jailed in Canada in connection with the
1985 bombings that killed 329 passengers on Air India flight 182 over the Atlantic Ocean and two baggage handlers at a Tokyo airport. Reyat, the admitted bomb maker, was supposed to testify for the Crown at the 2005 trial of Ripudaman Singh
Malik, the millionaire founder of the Surrey Khalsa School and the Surrey-based Khalsa Credit Union, and co-accused Ajaib Singh Bagri, a sawmill worker from Kamloops. Reyat was found to have lied 19 times under oath in the trial
in an attempt to hide his knowledge of the conspiracy. He had already served 10 years for manslaughter in the deaths of the Tokyo baggage handlers and a further five years for manslaughter and aiding in the construction
of a bomb in the flight 182 bombing. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan said Reyat’s testimony “imparted nothing of assistance” and the effect of his perjury on the outcome of the Air India trial is “incalculable.”
Because of the lack of certainty of what might have happened had he testified truthfully, the judge said, he could not hand down the maximum 14-year sentence for perjury. Reyat made a statement of regret at his sentencing.
“No words in any language can ever bring closure to those who have lost loved ones as a result of the Air India and Narita tragedies,” he said. Reyat got credit for time served in custody, reducing his sentence to seven years and seven months. jnagel@surreyleader.com
Trial ordered Husband accused of killing Tejinder Dhanoa by Sheila Reynolds
All Surrey residents 65+ invited
A SURREY man has been ordered to stand trial in con-
nection with the alleged murder of his wife last year. Tejinder Kaur Dhanoa, 32, was initially reported missing in early January, 2010. The police investigation led to a home in the 13000 block of English Place in the Newton area, not far from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. The woman was found dead at the home. Kamaljit Singh Dhanoa, 33, was arrested shortly after and charged with second-degree murder. At the time, police said it was a case of a domestic dispute that turned violent. The trial was ordered following a preliminary hearing of the evidence in Surrey Provincial Court that concluded last week. The case will be heard in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. A hearing to set the trial schedule is slated for March 10.

Those numbers often contain more than one allegation per incident, and unlike the above numbers for Delta, are not investigated as of yet. The bulk of those allegations were neglect of duty (41 allegations), improper attitude (40), oppressive conduct (29) and 21 allegations of improper use of force. The provincewide total was 249 complaints against the RCMP for improper use of force. RCMP Asst. Comm.

Cohen salmon probe deadline extended Delay affects First Nations aiming to sign treaties by Jeff Nagel
incur to cover their negotiating costs. “We have First Nations negotiating tables that are fast approaching the tipping point where what they’re going to get in terms of a cash offer for selfgovernment is going to be less than what they owe for going through these negotiations. So what’s the point?” The judicial inquiry was called after the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run, when just over a million fish returned, about a tenth the expected number. A huge return in 2010 of around 30 million Fraser sockeye is thought by most experts to be an anomaly, possibly due to an Alaskan volcano fertilizing the ocean and supercharging the food supply for juvenile salmon. jnagel@surreyleader.com

JUSTICE BRUCE COHEN will have an extra 14 months to get to the bottom of the mystery of the dwindling Fraser River sockeye salmon. His inquiry into the downturn has been granted an extension, with a final report now due by June 30, 2012 instead of this spring. Cohen cited the complexity of the commission’s work, the difficult and time-consuming document disclosure process and large number of participants in obtaining more time. The commission’s budget is also increasing, from $14 million to an estimated $25 million. Hearings are now slated to run until at least September. The commissioner is to make recommendations on improv-
ing the future sustainability of the sockeye fishery, including potential changes in policies, practices and procedures of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO). The delay has caused anger among First Nations that are close to treaties that can’t be concluded until the federal government signs off on guaranteed shares of the salmon fishery. Six treaty tables where agreements-in-principle are close are in limbo because Ottawa won’t finalize treaty fishing rights until it receives Cohen’s findings, according to Sophie Pierre, chief commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission. “Because of the delay, what we’re concerned about is the growing debt First Nations are facing,” she said, referring to the loans aboriginal groups must

CAN THE NATURAL electricity found in electric eels be converted into enough usable energy to power iPods, BlackBerrys or even laptops? That is the question posed by Jiwan Toor, or, a 16-year-old Gradee 11 student at Fleetwood Park Secondary. Toor is the second semifinalist selected in the Choose Science, Go Far, Win Big contest, held by the B.C. government’s Year of Science program. Based on the popular TV show MythBusters, the Year of Science video contest asked young people to upload videos of their ideas
the next few weeks. The grand prize in the contest is a $25,000 scholarship. Semifinalists automatically receive $250. “Jiwan’s idea raises some interesting points for discussion, and that’s what the Year of Science is all about,” said B.C. Minister of Science and Universities Ida Chong. “We want to encourage young people to think about issues of importance to them, ask questions and look for answers. That’s how we encourage them to become the next generation of B.C. scientists and innovators that are so important to B.C’s future.” For more information on entering the contest, go to www. yearofsciencebc.ca/contest newsroom@surreyleader.com

Raising the alarm Construction fill is being dumped at Delta farms in exchange for hefty fees by Philip Raphael DELTA farmers are
hoping to curb a shortterm, get rich scheme that has the potential to ruin good farmland. Delta Coun. and long-time farmer Ian Paton is ringing the alarm bells on some farmers who are accepting truck loads of fill – often from construction sites elsewhere in the Lower Mainland – which are being dumped on local farms in exchange for hefty fees. The practice, Paton said, can be extremely lucrative for farmers, but is short-sighted and can all but render the soil unusable. Paton said the lure is money – about $80 to $100 a truck load – with some farmers accepting a string of them so that the payoff for a single day could earn them about $2,000. “You look at the construction sites in Downtown Vancouver and Burnaby and they are digging down into the ground and pulling up all kinds of stuff like rocks, bits of concrete and even asphalt to put in underground parking for big buildings,” Paton said. “All of that material has to go somewhere.” That somewhere is farms up and down the Fraser Valley, including some that are suspected to be in South Delta. Paton said there are some legitimate reasons to allow dumping fill on farmland. Building up retention dikes for cranberry farming is one. Even then, he is
suspicious of some operators who claim that’s their end goal, but have yet to show a true indication of actual farming. “I call B.S. on some of those guys,” Paton said. “And it really pisses off the long time farmers here who are committed to soil-based agriculture.”
“I call B.S. on some of those guys.” Coun. Ian Paton Paton said those offenders are simply ruining some of the best soil in the province for short-term gain. The potential is also there for contamination from harmful substances in the fill material. Delta Farmers’ Institute president and former provincial agriculture minister John Savage said the problem rests with the inability of B.C.’s Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) to adequately police the farms to prevent the dumping and sanction those who have allowed the material to be deposited on their property. Savage said the ALC has just two enforcement officers for the entire province. Local bylaw officers are already spread thin, Paton added, and don’t have the time to investigate the situation, leaving the fields relatively wide open to be abused. editor@southdeltaleader.com

Brunch at Café Zen or Sophie’s Cosmic Café. Shopping at an eclectic yet hip mix of boutiques, shops and businesses. Walking or running along Kits Beach, nearby parks, or the world-famous Seawall, all complemented with panoramic ocean and mountain views. Purchasing flowers, fresh fish and a steaming coffee at Granville Island, and checking out who’s performing next at the Arts Club Theatre. Heading to the always-popular Naam restaurant or Nevermind or Hell’s Kitchen for supper before meeting friends at The Cellar Jazz Club or perhaps, the Frog and Firkin or Jeremiah’s Neighbourhood Pub. “No more excuses for a lazy afternoon,” says Rennie Marketing director of marketing Linda Chu, referring to the lifestyle in the coveted Vancouver community of Kitsilano. “There’s just too many options when you live here.” Chu is excited about a new-home project Rennie is involved with in Kits, one of the most sought-after Vancouver neighbourhoods for homebuyers. Entitled Kits 360, the Intergulf Developments project is a boutique collection of high-end residences situated at the top of a hill at Burrard and Seventh, offering sweeping views of downtown, False Creek and beyond. It is also steps away from West Fourth restaurants and shops, Kits Beach, Granville Island, Fifth Avenue Cinemas and South Granville shopping, Chu notes, which “makes living at Kits 360 simply the best.” “Immediate access to transit and Burrard bike lanes means Kits 360 is all about living green and living time-efficient,” says Chu. When complete, Kits 360 will feature more than 250

new homes that are ideal for first-time buyers, couples, downsizers and small families. Fresh, contemporary architecture will feature multi-stepped rooflines to afford more views from more units; the U-shaped concrete design is lighter and airier than others in the area. Large green roofs and an extra large community rooftop deck – with amazing city and ocean views, year-round – are offered to homeowners, among other outdoor spaces, and a relaxing reflection pond runs the entire length of the lush central courtyard. “We’ve always said when it comes to real estate, it’s about the location and this one is a winner across the board,” Chu says. Homes start from $349,900, “an incredible value for this location.” Previews will start in early March and sales start March 26. Visit www.kits360.com for details.

Brad McGowan of the Surrey Eagles is one point of the BCHL scoring lead. there,” Vanderhoek added. The third spot on the Eagles’ top line has been something of a revolving cast of characters throughout the season, as Jeff Vanderlugt, Dale Hunt, and Daniel Gentzler have all been slotted alongside the Langley pair. And this weekend, Semiahmoo Minor Hockey product Michael Stenerson is expected to see time on the line, too. “We’ve had a couple guys shuffle through there on the other side, but it seems like whoever we put there scores goals, so it’s been nice,” Erhart
said. That productivity, the coach said, is largely a result of McGowan, who came into the season expecting to take on a much larger role in the offence. “Over the summer, we challenged him to show up in great shape. He was coming into the year as a 20-year-old, uncommitted schoolwise, so he knew it’d be a big year for him,” Erhart said. “You could tell that he put a lot of work in. He came into training camp with a lot of confidence, and
I think he put up four points in our first intrasquad game.” And for what it’s worth, Erhart said he believes McGowan when the forward insists the scoring title isn’t forefront in his mind. “Somebody would be lying if they said it wouldn’t be nice if they won the scoring title, but I know he won’t put himself ahead of the team in order to do it,” Erhart said. “Scoring titles are a one-year recognition, but winning lasts a lifetime. Brad wants to win.” sports@peacearchnews.com

Longtime PGA Tour golfer Richard Zokol, a Surrey resident, was named Tuesday as one of two new inductees in the hall, joining longtime Royal Canadian Golf Association executive director Stephen Ross in the 2011 class. “It’s all still a little overwhelming, and hasn’t sunk in yet. You don’t really plan for these things, they just kind of happen,” Zokol said Wednesday.

Mystic Maiden established herself as the “Sweetheart of Fraser Downs’ in 2010 by winning 15 of 17 starts, increasing her lifetime record to 20 wins in 22 starts. So what better place for a“Sweetheart” to be than entered as the favourite in Sunday’s $35,000 Miss Valentine Stakes as the featured race at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino? Mystic Maiden made her first start as a 4-year-old on Jan. 30 and captured the $12,500 Filles & Mares Open as a tune-up for the Miss Valentine pace. Trainer Justin Currie obviously liked what he saw and gave her the week off, hoping for a repeat performance with Jim Marino once again in the sulky on Sunday. Dave Hudon had been Mystic Maiden’s regular driver but Hudon has his own entry in the Miss Valentine with Sky Sunny. Marino’s playing a hot hand of late. He found the winner’s circle five times this past weekend, including a hat-trick Friday. Marino, Hudon and Mike Hennessy will be representing B.C. in the Western Regional Driving Championship at Fraser Downs on Feb. 26. It’s funny how these things go. Hennessy narrowly beat out Dave McKellar and Scott Knight for the available Team BC third spot. For Knight, it was a case of too little too late. He scored a driving triple this past weekend. Had he done the same in the third week of January, Knight would have qualified for the Western Regional final, based on the driver standings as of Jan. 23. And how about this? Fraser Downs GM Ken Stratton and Director of Racing Jackson Wittup have confirmed that all eight drivers competing in the Western Regional Championship Feb. 26 will be donating their driving fees to the Surrey Association for Community Living in the Cloverdale/Surrey area. Talk about good sports! And it gets better. Stratton and Wittup tell me the drivers’ contributions will be matched by Fraser Downs management. Good goin’, guys. Marino, Hudon and Hennessy will be the home-town heroes against Alberta’s Ketih Clark, Gerry Hudon and Brandon Campbell, Saskatchewan’s Glen LeDrew and Manitoba’s Dallas McKee. CLOSE LINES: It took 10 husky men to manually deliver the two ceiling-mounted giant screens that have been installed in the Clubhouse at Fraser Downs. They weigh 500 pounds each and are now permanent fixtures for viewing of Saturday night Canucks games, UFC specials and events such as last Sunday’s Super Bowl telecast, where a huge crowd gathered after the early-morning (10:15 a.m.) racing start. Racing resumes Friday (7:00 p.m.) with 115 p.m. starts Saturday and Sunday. See you there! djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC

quite an honour.” Zokol, 52, spent 22 years in the PGA, winning twice – the 1992 Greater Milwaukee Open and the ‘02 Deposit Guarantee Classic. “I’d have to say, those two wins on the PGA in 1992 were really the pinnacle of my career,” he said. He also won the 1984 Utah Open, and the 2001 Canadian PGA Championship, which was a Nationwide Tour event at the time. He also earned notoriety – and the ‘Disco Dick’ nickname – when on tour in the early ‘80s, he wore headphones and a walkman on the course, as a way to calm his nerves while he played. Zokol, who grew up playing out of Vancouver’s Marine Drive Golf Club – which he first joined in 1971 and where he is now an honourary member – had success at the amateur and college levels, too. As an amateur, he was a member of Canada’s 1980 World Amateur team, and in 1981 won the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championships. That same year, Zokol captained Brigham Young University to an NCAA team championship. And though he lists the two PGA wins as career highlights, he says many more memorable moments come into sharper focus as the years go by. “There’s just so many highlights, but when you start to look back, you think of the long practice hours, and the desire, but also the sacrifices people made along the way – my parents, and for the last 25 years, my wife,” he said. Zokol will officially be inducted into the hall during the week of the RBC Canadian Open, which will be held at Vancouver’s Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club. Fellow Canadian golfer Mike Weir, who will play at the Open, is scheduled to speak at Zokol’s induction ceremony. These days, Zokol runs the prestigious Sagebrush Golf and Sporting Club, near Merritt, which he also co-designed.

CRUISE HOLIDAYS OF WHITE ROCK
Surrey blanks Delta 4-0 by Rick Kupchuk A WEEK AFTER settling for a draw knocked the Surrey United Firefighters from first place, the Vancouver Metro Soccer League team moved back into the top spot after their rivals met the same fate. The Coquitlam Metro Ford Wolves were held to a 1-1 draw on the road Friday night against West Vancouver, allowing United to slip past them in the Premier Division standings with their convincing 4-0 decision over Delta United Saturday afternoon in Cloverdale. Surrey, the defending Premier Division champions, moved one point up on the Wolves with a 16-3-3 (wontied-lost) record. Both teams have four games to play, including a head-to-head match tomorrow (Saturday) at 3 p.m. at Town Centre in Coquitlam. The Firefighters wasted little time taking a lead on Delta, scoring after just five minutes when Andrew Proctor tapped in a cross from Mason Webb. Surrey doubled their lead
just before the break when a shot from Rizal Ganief was deflected by former United defender Shawn Blakeway, now in a Delta uniform, for an own goal. Angus Burke added his league-leading 16th goal of the season 10 minutes into the second half, then Proctor notched his second of the game on a cross from Jeff Clarke. Paul Shepherd made a number of outstanding saves for the shutout. Delta remained in third place in the Premier Division, finishing the week four points up on both Richmond FC Hibernians and Columbus. Delta defeated the last place Serbian White Eagles last Wednesday (Feb. 2), overcoming a 2-0 halftime deficit. Mike Gomes netted a pair for United, with Harprett Khakh tallying the wining goal and Garrett Peters scoring an insurance marker. Delta will host ICST Pegasus Sunday at 2 p.m. at John Oliver Park. Pegasus kept their hold on sixth place in the 14-team Premier Division after they

played to a scoreless tie with Richmond FC Friday night at Newton Athletic Park. Andy Singh kept the fourthplace Richmond squad from scoring, helping Pegasus stay one point ahead of West Vancouver. The Punjab Hurricanes won for the seventh time in their first season in the Premier Division, blanking Westside 1-0 Saturday in Vancouver. The Hurricanes, in 10th place and four points up on both Sapperton and Croatia FC. Josh Bennett scored the game’s lone goal, converting from the penalty spot after Manvir Brar was fouled in the penalty area with less than five minutes to play. Sheldon Steenhuis earned the shutout for the Hurricanes, who will host seventh-place West Vancouver tomorrow at 6 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park. ■ North Delta United remained in seventh place in the Premier Division of the Fraser Valley Soccer League after a 2-1 loss to Athletic Club. Steve Otten was the lone scorer for North Delta.

Keeping it real A gritty look at gang life by Surrey filmmaker Mani Amar by Dan Ferguson
W
hen Mani Amar staged an abduction for his new film, it was realistic enough that some witnesses called 911. The filmmaker estimates about 20 units of the Surrey RCMP, including a police helicopter and a dog team were dispatched. Amar isn’t sure why the worried onlookers didn’t notice the film crew that was recording the whole thing, but when someone drove by shouting about a woman being shoved into a van, he realized what had happened and called the police. “They were pretty unhappy.” After that, he made a point of alerting the RCMP before he staged anything that looked criminal. There are a number of such scenes in Footsteps Into Gangland, the new film by the 28-year-old Amar that recently wrapped principal photography. A just-released trailer shows an abduction, a physical confrontation in a parking lot, a gas station robbery and a police takedown, all as authentic as Amar could make them. It was important to make the movie as real as possible for Amar, whose previous project was A Warrior’s Religion, an award-winning documentary about gangsters. It was just as important for 24-year-old actor Mannu Sandhu, a Surrey resident who plays a victimized teenager caught up in the criminal lifestyle. Sandhu’s life is nothing like her character’s. The occasional fashion model has a degree in political science and once worked as an executive assistant to Surrey MP Nina Grewal. But in her current job as a corrections officer, Sandhu often deals with abused young women like Mya, the troubled 17-year-old she plays. She says the emotionally intense experience of acting the part has given her new insights into the inner life of young women who have the same mix of fear and anger as Mya. “I actually felt like I was there, that I was that girl,” Sandhu says. “It was disturbing.” Amar is full of praise about Sandhu’s commitment to making her portrayal as genuine as possible. The very first scene he shot was a violent assault on Mya.
It took 39 takes until Amar got the realism he wanted, throwing Sandhu around himself to demonstrate how rough it needed to be. She is not the only standout performance in the film, Amar adds. “There’s a lot of young, raw talent out there,” he says. “They were willing to work for next to nothing. And some of them did work for nothing.” It was a guerilla-style low-budget shoot in Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby and Horseshoe Bay with a small crew and a short schedule, but Amar’s insistence on doing as much on location as possible produced unexpected benefits, such as a moment where a passing train sounded its horn at the exact moment a weapon was fired, covering the noise. “Right when we did the sound cue for the gunshots.” The moment stayed in the film. “Sometimes the magic just happens.” Amar wrote the screenplay for Footsteps during the three years of researching and shooting his documentary. Based on the extensive research he did for A Warrior’s Religion, his follow-up film aims to present an accurate portrayal of the gangster lifestyle. Unlike the documentary, which Amar funded himself through a mix of credit cards and working several jobs, he originally had money lined up – a commitment of $98,000 from some would-be backers – for the new film. Amar was debt-free and in the middle of pre-production when the people with the money read his treatment (a plot summary) and pulled out. “That’s what credit cards are for,” Amar shrugs. As he winds up post-production work on Footsteps, Amar is already considering his next project, which could be another documentary, one about infanticide in India. The official website for the movie is www.footstepsintogangland.com. There is a Footsteps Into Gangland page on Facebook, and updates are posted on Twitter under “filmsoffire.” Public screenings of Footsteps Into Gangland will take place March 21-23, 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. at the Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave. Tickets are $11. The film is rated 18A.

SMART RUNS IN THE FAMILY.
Hearts. The 22-year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acoustic performance of The Story by Brandi Carlile was enough to win over the judges at the Varietyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent contest held last Friday (Feb. 4) at the Red Robinson Theatre in Coquitlam. Sharity was named the winner among the top 11 performers picked from as many as 300 people who auditioned online
Carlile piece, she said, because it fit her style. When sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just sitting around and listening to music, she prefers more â&#x20AC;&#x153;hardcoreâ&#x20AC;? tunes, Sharity said, naming Paramore and The Devil Wears Prada as a couple of her favourite acts. But when sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s writing and singing, the result is a more â&#x20AC;&#x153;jazzy acoustic flare.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more acoustic pop
PaciďŹ c Academy graduate and singersongwriter Shylo Sharity was named the top performer in the Varietyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Got Talent contest held at the Red Robinson show lounge last Friday. She will appear on the annual Show of Hearts telethon this weekend. for the contest. The singer, who was a 2006 graduate of Pacific Academy in Surrey and is in her final year of a communications degree at Trinity Western University, described the scene inside the sold-out theatre as â&#x20AC;&#x153;crazy.â&#x20AC;? And the assessment comes from a young woman whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no stranger to the stage. From bands to church musical groups to standing alone on stage with a guitar or just a microphone in her hand, Sharity has been performing in front of live audiences since she was six years old, including touring with Winter Harp. These days, however, her focus is more on writing and recording, she said over the phone during a break between university classes. Although she has plenty of original music at her disposal, Sharity was advised to sing something people would know for the competition, as opposed to one of her own compositions. She rehearsed for a week and posted her audition video. Sharity chose the
â&#x20AC;&#x201D; fun and young and something girls my age can relate to.â&#x20AC;? And because all her friends play and sing, Sharity is able to combine her social life with a chance to collaborate with other young artists. Over the past 16 years, she has racked up a few screen credits as well, appearing as a singer in the television series Dead Like Me and earning roles in madefor-television movies Door to Door, starring William H. Macy and Kyra Sedgewick, and School of Life, starring Ryan Reynolds. However, the young performer has put her acting career on the back burner for now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to (pursue a career in music). Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the easiest road, but anything is possible,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Variety Club Show of Hearts telethon airs on Saturday and Sunday, and while Sharityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s uncertain whether sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll sing (the Feb. 4 performance will be shown, she believes) she will be interviewed as part of the annual fundraiser for B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s special needs children.

Suction-cup grab bars are only safe when installed right. Be sure the wall is clean and free of any soap residue or dirt when installing. Grab bars: for pulling up from a seated position, place the bar horizontally. For stepping in and out assistance, place the bar vertically. Never install diagonally. Do not trust your safety to the shower curtain rod, the towel rack, the soap dish or the washcloth rack in the shower. These were designed to hold a wet towel at the most... and anyone needing grab bar assistance weighs more than a wet towel. We recommend having grab bars installed by a qualified professional. Safety grab bars and floorto-ceiling poles can be installed anywhere in your home to make your life easier. Think about where else, besides your bathroom, you struggle…in and out of your patio door or in and out of your garage? The possibilities are endless!

Sweep deal FOUR SURREY junior curlers, brothers Jordan and Tyler Tardi and Brad and Rhett Hildenbrandt joined more than 600 athletes at the International Children’s Winter Games last month in Kelowna. The two sets of brothers, who had never competed together, represented Surrey on their way to the medal round after finishing the round robin with a record of 3 and 1. They came in fourth, losing to the Korean team in the semi-final event – who went on to take the Gold medal. The boys had the opportunity to meet other athletes from 39 cities and 15 countries. The six-day event was held for the first time in North America this year.

imon Fraser University first-year student Derek Herridge is as comfortable sitting back with a great literary work as he is hoisting 120 kilograms over his head. The SFU Surrey world literature student recently netted a gold medal in his 94-kg weight category at the Junior Canadian Weightlifting Championships. Herridge had a 270 kg combined lift – 125 kg in the snatch and a clean-andjerk of 145 kg – that was 20 kg heavier than the second place score. “I started lifting weights in high school and realized that I not only liked it, but could do well,” says Herridge, who continues to train at Semiahmoo
churches in North Delta. The new design was the work of Keith Sullivan Donald Architects. It transforms the current sanctuary into the new multi-purpose hall, kitchen, and storage space, as well as adding a new sanctuary, nursery and sound room on the back of the property. The project, slated to begin on March 1, will be carried out by Ram Construction, Ltd. Worship for the congregation of Cross-
Secondary in South Surrey. His championship medal is a first after six years in the sport. His sights are now set on making the U21 national team and training to qualify for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. Herridge’s involvement in the sport even piqued the interest of his mother, a school teacher, who took it up and became a Canadian masters champion. They also share a love of reading – and that’s what has steered Herridge’s academic direction. “I’ve always loved literature. Books were always in my world,” he says. “I love to read and I love to listen to others read,” Herridge adds, with

favourite works including The Barefoot Gen, The Unbelievable Lightness of Being, The Divine Comedy, and epics like Dante’s Inferno and The Odyssey. It’s not exactly gym reading material. And while athlete students often lean towards fields like sports therapy, Herridge does not apologize that he is not a science guy. “I’m taking world literature because I like it, it’s that simple,” says Herridge, who sports a high-B GPA after his first semester, and whose social network is largely English and arts program pals. “Writing can be really intense. But it’s the reading that helps. In class, that’s my strength.”

Scanning the skies Great Backyard Bird Count Feb. 18-21 BLACKBIRDS made the
headlines when a flock of thousands fell from the skies in Arkansas on New Yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eve. Now bird enthusiasts across the continent are counting the birds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just blackbirds, but birds of more than 600 species â&#x20AC;&#x201C; in the annual Great Backyard Bird Count. From Feb. 18â&#x20AC;&#x201C;21, the event will create an instantaneous snapshot of bird life across the U.S. and Canada. Anyone can help by tallying birds for at least 15 minutes on any day of the count. At www.birdcount. ca, you can enter
the highest number of each species seen at any one time and watch as the tallies grow across the continent. Coordinated by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Audubon, and Bird Studies Canada, the four-day count typically records more than 10 million observations. Last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participants reported more than 1.8 million American robins, as well as rarities such as the rustic bunting in Creighton, Sask. The rustic bunting is a Eurasian species that does occasionally wander to
North America. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whether people observe birds in backyards, parks, or wilderness areas, the Great Backyard Bird Count is an opportunity to share their results at www.birdcount.ca,â&#x20AC;? said Judy Braus, Audubonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vice-president
of Education and Centers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun and rewarding for people of all ages and skill levels â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and it gets people outside.â&#x20AC;? The Great Backyard Bird Count is made possible in part by sponsor Wild Birds Unlimited. For more information, including bird-ID tips, instructions, and past results, visit www. birdcount.ca. The count also includes a photo contest and a prize drawing for participants who enter their bird checklists online. newsroom@surreyleader.com
