Metro puts Surrey ahead of UBC for rapid transit Too soon to choose new routes: TransLink by Jeff Nagel NEW RAPID transit for fast-growing

LEADER FILE PHOTO

Welcome, customer: Metro Vancouver may consider more paid services at sites like Tynehead Regional Park (above), which is being touted for a possible dog washing station and potentially a zip line.

Pay to play in parks? Metro mulls adding commercial ventures to regional greenspaces

by Jeff Nagel METRO VANCOUVER may open the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

parks to more commercial businesses that could charge visitors to use zip lines, water slides, dog wash stations or other new amenities. The concept may bring big changes to Tynehead Regional Park in northeast Surrey or Aldergrove Lake Regional Park in Langley, among others. The move is being championed by parks committee chair and Langley City Coun. Gayle Martin, who sees potential to offer more enhanced services while using fee revenue

to reduce the burden of park operations on regional taxpayers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably going to be some backlash, but we have to handle that,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to desecrate a park to put an enhanced service in it.â&#x20AC;? A zip line may be a great opportunity at Tynehead, Martin said, noting itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an activity many different people can enjoy and the park has easy access off Highway 1. And a water park might be one potential option to replace man-made Aldergrove Lake, which the region has been advised to drain

because of leaks. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If it was some kind of water park it would have to be a paid access,â&#x20AC;? Martin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be an enhanced service.â&#x20AC;? She said Metro has not yet ruled out spending the estimated $4 million it would take to repair Aldergrove Lake and retain the popular swimming hole, which attracts 25,000 visitors per year. Parks with dog zones, including Tynehead, could be equipped with a canine swimming lake and self-serve dog-washing area, she added. See PARK PLANS / Page 4

Surrey should come ahead of Vancouverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposed line to UBC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and after the planned Evergreen Line to Port Moody and Coquitlam is built. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the order of priorities for transit line expansion listed in the latest draft of Metroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new regional growth strategy. The $1.4-billion Evergreen Line, slated to start construction next year but with funding still unresolved, should remain the top priority, according to the draft plan. Coun. Judy Listed second is expansion Villeneuve in Surrey and extension of rapid transit in Vancouver from one of the existing SkyTrain stations west along Broadway, potentially from Commercial Drive as far as Arbutus Street.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our turn...â&#x20AC;?

Piano prodigy settles in the U.S. Frankie Bones in Washington school by Sheila Reynolds

THEY DROVE to Walla Walla fuelled, in large part, by adrenalin. After what they had been through, Frankie Bones, his sister Camia and mom Esther Cordner didn’t want to waste any time getting across the border into Washington and driving southeast toward Oregon. While Bones had been invited last year to further his piano skills at Walla Walla University, the family ran into some roadblocks in August because Bones is in foster care. Bones, 18, was first invited to attend the university when a professor there heard him play last fall and expressed interested in developing the pianist’s talent while he finished his final year of high school at nearby Walla Walla Valley Academy. The Ministry of Children and Family Development initially said the planned Aug. 20 departure date wasn’t possible because the province is officially Bones’ Frankie Bones legal guardian and all the necessary screening of the school and host families hadn’t taken place. There was also talk of investigating B.C. music schools instead. Shortly after Bones’ story was told in the media, the ministry approved his departure, saying that government workers were ensuring the necessary safeguards were in place. Cordner, the teen’s caregiver for the past 17 years, is confident he’ll thrive in his new environment. Already, she said, a second instructor has offered to help hone the teen’s organ playing skills, and he’s also joined the orchestra at his school and will be playing piano and violin.

In the morning, a Surrey Provincial Court judge ordered Binning’s release from jail on bail pending his trial in the 2008 hit-and-run that killed Surrey residents Dilbag Singh Badh, 61, and his wife, Bakhshish Kaur Badh, 60. But late in the day, the 28-year-old Binning was still in custody, waiting for someone to

We have to hope mom and dad will get some kind of justice [at trial].” Binning is charged with two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death, one count of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and one count of failure to stop at the scene of an accident in connection with the July 12, 2008 crash. A speeding white 2006 Acura TL sideswiped a black Chevrolet Camaro then rear-

ended a BMW on 128 Street and 85 Avenue. In the BMW were Dilbag, Bakhshish and daughters Rupi and Varinder, who were returning home from a wedding rehearsal for Rupi, who was at the wheel. The parents died at the scene. Varinder was sent to hospital with fractures and internal injuries. Rupi’s injuries were less extensive, but still serious. Since then, a Badh family-sponsored petition calling for the creation of a vehicularhomicide law has passed the 10,000 signatures mark. Vehicular-homicide laws exist in the U.S., but not in Canada. dferguson@surreyleader.com

Brae Island campground, the existing concession stand at Boundary Bay Regional Park, the canoe rentals at Grant Narrows in Pitt Meadows or bike rentals at Colony Farm in Port Coquitlam. Some of the $2 million per year Metro now earns in its parks also comes from house rentals and movie shoots by the film industry. Pitt Meadows Mayor Don MacLean said he’s somewhat concerned about affordability for families. “If you take someone into the park and say okay we have zip lines and we have boat rides, the kid wants all of those,” he said. “And it places stress on the parents to be able to pay for them.” MacLean doesn’t outright reject new services and revenue possibilities, but said he will be on guard against any move to add gate fees to enter parks or put swaths off limits to free use. Some activities make sense, he said. “People don’t always have their own canoe or have a zip line in their backyard.” MacLean predicted such business opportunities won’t come to places like Pacific Spirit Regional Park, noting a group of Vancouver west side activists would swiftly mobilize. Instead, he sees the focus being on parks further east, particularly ones frequented by many families and where “environmental sensitivities aren’t as strong.” Martin said it’s been several years since Metro rethought its park services. “It’s time to look seriously at this again,” she said. Metro previously considered but then abandoned ideas like a golf academy at Tynehead. “The zip line challenge course would be less intrusive on the park than a golf course, where you might have to cut down every tree that is there,” Martin said. Martin said Metro will likely convene a panel of experts, including one from the U.S., to consider options to expand services. The committee direction to “authorize exploration of a full-range of enhanced park services that could be offered” must still be approved by the Metro board.

Flaggers: Working in the danger lanes WorkSafeBC adds personal dimension to its ‘slow down’ campaign as injuries and deaths continue by Grant Granger JEN BEAUREGARD

struggles to find the right words. It’s a challenge the 24-year-old grapples with every time she speaks – one of many adversities resulting from being hit by an SUV while directing traffic at a construction site along Highway 10 in Delta last September. “I don’t think people really understand the dangers that can happen to them,” said Beauregard, who appears in a WorkSafeBC video that hit the Internet last weekend (view it at www. surreyleader.com). “It seems like everybody feels they’re invincible and that nothing ever happens to them. “I want them to be aware of the dangers that could potentially cause death.” Beauregard was hit by a driver who was texting at the time of the collision. She flew 100 feet out of her boots and landed on her head, or so she’s been told, since she can’t remember the incident. “I trusted people would obey my signs,” said Beauregard. “I just trusted somebody would stop. I wasn’t aware that some people would not be paying attention to us.” She was in a coma for six days and a hospital for two months. On top of the amnesia – Beauregard can’t even remember how long she worked as a flagger – both her legs were broken, her right arm was snapped in five places, metal plates

had to be inserted to hold her pelvis together, all her ribs were cracked, her spleen was ruptured and she needed facial reconstruction. She had trouble standing, sitting or even lying down for any amount of time because any position was excruciating. “I lost all independence. I couldn’t go to the washroom by myself, I couldn’t change myself, couldn’t feed myself.

Jennifer Beauregard “Every aspect of life was challenging,” said Beauregard, who now uses a cane to get around. “Just the fact I walk I appreciate, because I was told I wouldn’t be able to walk.” According to WorkSafeBC, 73 claims were filed for flag persons struck by vehicles from 2005 to 2009. That’s more than one per month over those five years, including two fatalities. The death toll increased on July 15 when Donald Cain, a 49-year-old Langley man, was killed while working on a Lougheed Highway road widening project just west of Mission.

Katherine Keras, owner of Pro Safe Traffic Services, was Cain’s boss and she feels the carnage has to stop. She says the government needs to establish stronger regulations and there needs to be increased police enforcement. She said the Mission RCMP got a taste of her world when they donned overalls and flaggers’ gear to nab violators. One RCMP member had to slam his hand on a car to get the driver’s attention. “The errors and the driver skills are unbelievable,” said Keras during a break setting up a job on South Fraser Way recently. “It’s like we made them an Indy track and they’re just whipping through because we’ve got some cones out.” Keras also maintained that contractors looking to cut costs often do so by reducing the number of flag people. “We really have nobody on our side,” said Keras. “All these people putting their life in danger for 12 bucks an hour, 15 or 18, it’s not enough.” Another incident Aug. 29 in Coquitlam sent a female traffic controller to hospital. The 33-year-old woman was working at a Coquitlam road construction site when she was hit by a Toyota Yaris that RCMP say failed to follow the flagger’s directions. RCMP say alcohol was a factor, and a 24-year-old Burnaby man has been arrested and will appear in court to face criminal charges.

“Drivers don’t care,” B.C. flaggers spokeswoman Diane Herback told CTV News. “They speed, talk on their cellphones, and drink and drive.” Herback is looking for police to step up enforcement, and if they don’t, flaggers will take action. “The public needs to realize that we have a lot of power. We could shut a bridge down in about 10 minutes.” In the past year, WorkSafeBC has expanded its Slow Down campaign. Signs along road construction sites now feature kids quoting slogans such as, “My mommy (or) daddy works here.” “We’ve added the personal dimension,” said Al Johnson, WorkSafeBC regional director of construction. “We’ve had a lot of positive feedback from that feature where it would resonate well for the drivers with the worker and his family, and they do slow down.” He also is calling on traffic control companies and the primary contractors that hire them to better supervise the controllers to make sure they’re doing what they’re trained to do. He’d also like to see controllers be given more than just the current twoday certification course currently required. Meanwhile, Beauregard has always wanted to be an elementary teacher. Before the accident she spent six years getting her education degree, but hadn’t gone into the classroom to get certification. Now the plan is to attend the

From page 1

The draft Metro plan says the timing of rapid transit expansion will depend on TransLink having sustainable funding to build and operate new lines. The growth strategy, which would replace the

outdated Livable Region Strategic Plan, includes various mechanisms to shape development as Metro’s population swells by another million residents by 2040. The document has been in the works for

years and has undergone two previous rounds of public consultation and a series of revisions after some cities worried it gave the regional board too much power. Regional planning committee chair Derek

Corrigan said it now sets the right balance between issues that need to be solved regionally versus ones best left to individual cities. A new round of public comment on the new plan is open until Oct. 15.

All municipalities, as well as the Tsawwassen First Nation and TransLink, have to agree to it before it takes effect. “If all goes well, we will have a new strategy in place early in 2011,” said Burnaby mayor Corrigan.

Six minutes too long for test: Judge Throws out drunk driving case by Dan Ferguson BY WAITING six min-

utes, a Surrey Mountie waited too long to decide to administer a breathalyzer test to a suspected impaired driver, a Surrey Provincial Court judge has ruled. In January of 2009, a Surrey RCMP constable pulled over a vehicle. The officer could smell alcohol on the driver’s breath and the driver admitted to having two drinks in the previous two hours. When the driver blew into a portable breath alcohol testing device, the fail warning light

came on. The officer then arrested the driver for impaired driving. Then the Mountie searched the driver, put the driver in his police car, then searched the driver’s car. After reading the driver his rights, the officer made a formal demand as required by law that the driver provide a sample of his breath to a more precise breathalyzer at the police station. It was six minutes from when the driver failed the roadside test to when the officer made his demand for a breath sample. The driver’s lawyer

argued that violated the law that says the demand must be made “as soon as practical.” Judge James O. Wingham agreed, noting the B.C. Supreme Court has already ruled a sevenminute delay violated the same law. While the delay was “relatively short” the judge said “the evidence does not establish that the delay in making the demand was necessary or reasonable” and dismissed the charges. The written reasons for the June 1, 2010 decision by the judge were posted online on Sept. 2.

Surrey gas leak

NINE WORKERS at the Wastech Surrey waste transfer station at 9770 192 St. were isolated and decontaminated Monday morning after they were exposed to an unknown gas. After moving some trash just before 8:30 a.m., the workers complained of difficulty breathing and irritation in their throats and nasal passages. Surrey Fire Service battalion chief

Lorne West said crews and emergency services scrubbed the workers down. He says after 30 to 40 minutes of breathing fresh outdoor air, the workers felt their symptoms dissipate and didn’t require hospitalization. The Wastech plant was closed for the rest of the day while specialists analyzed and tried to identify the hazardous substance.

by Hannah Sutherland AS PROMINENT B.C. Liberals discuss Premier Gordon Campbell’s future with the party – including one calling for his resignation – MLA Gordon Hogg said such public blasts are “detrimental” to both the party and province. Asked Tuesday whether he supports Campbell’s leadership heading into the next election, Hogg (SurreyWhite Rock) said only that he “supports the process that is before us.” “I have spent most of my life playing in sports and I know that there are times when people disagree with their

coaches, but you don’t go out and publicly express those concerns, you try and work within the relationship and issues of your team and your process and I think that’s what we need to do now.” Over the weekend, former Williams Lake mayor Scott Nelson publicly called on Campbell to announce his retirement soon, so the party can start fresh with a new leader. In an online blog last Thursday, Langley constituency president Jordan Bateman predicted Campbell would step aside. Hogg said party members will have an opportunity to express their support – or lack

thereof – of Campbell’s leadership by anonymously voting during constituency meetings, most of which are to be held over the next six weeks. The results of the ballot are to be announced at the party’s convention in Penticton in November. “I don’t think it’s helpful for people to be selecting and saying who might be an appropriate replacement or whether (Campbell) should be leaving immediately or later or whatever point of time,” Hogg said. “I don’t think it’s a time for us to be taking shots at each other, I think it’s a time for us to be appropriate and to work our way through a process that

is part of our bylaws. “We’re now seeing some people within the B.C. Liberal Party who are expressing concerns publicly and there are processes for dealing with that,” Hogg said. “I think it’s damaging for the province and damaging for the party and damaging in terms of the best interests of the people to be stepping out and saying too much at this point in time when we have a process in place for managing and dealing with issues such as this.” Hogg said he understands why some party members have publicly expressed concerns, and said he has, too, in regards to the way the harmonized sales tax was introduced. But his overall support of the tax has landed him on the “HST Hit List,” which names 24 politicians targeted for recall efforts led by organizers of the anti-HST campaign. Hogg acknowledged “it’s a difficult time right now within the B.C. Liberal party,” and said the next step is dealing with the leadership review vote. “We need to show strength and the ability to rejuvenate and renew.” MLAs Stephanie Cadieux (Surrey-Panorama) and Kevin Falcon (Surrey Cloverdale) could not be reached for comment.

Sockeye fishing cut off to protect coho

BABYCARE Surrey Central and White Rock

Call 604-574-5399

www.rootsandwingsbc.com

Sport angling continues as run builds toward peak by Jeff Nagel MOST COMMERCIAL fishing of this year’s record

run of Fraser River sockeye salmon has been halted to conserve much smaller runs of coho salmon and steelhead that could be dangerously weakened by further intensive harvesting. In a typical year, most sockeye migrate before the coho, but late-run sockeye – which account for three-quarters of the massive 2010 run – come back at the same time, mingled with their scarce relatives. Heavy fishing for sockeye from this point on could kill unacceptable numbers of coho, which number just 30,000, according to federal fisheries officials. All fishing in the Fraser below the Mission Bridge ended by 7 a.m. Tuesday and more of the river upstream is to be closed over the next couple of days. Fishery managers estimate te this year’s al around 11 million catch by all sectors will total sockeye out of an estimated run of 34.5 million – the strongest in nearly 100 years. Up to 15 million late-run sockeye have been delaying in the Strait of Georgia and are destined for the Shuswap Lake/Adams River areas. “They’re starting to move into the river, coming in at a rate of 400,000 to 500,000 a day,” said Barry Rosenberger, Interior B.C. area director for Fisheries and Oceans Canada. “We expect that to build over the next several days.” That’s great news for sports anglers, who are allowed to continue recreational fishing for sockeye until Sept. 19. Sockeye concentrations in the lower river will likely peak around Sept. 12, Rosenberger said. Commercial fishing advocates argue their season is being cut off too early, with millions more sockeye still to come through. Conservative MP John Cummins (Delta-Richmond East) criticized what he called the extreme move to shut down fishing to protect “the last of these weak stocks.” Commercial fishing boats are equipped with

revival boxes they must use to store, revive and release coho they accidentally catch, he noted. Cummins argued First Nations fisheries don’t use revival boxes and often set their nets for much longer – with a higher kill rate – than commercial boats. Fishermen are angry because First Nations, including the Sto:lo and Katzie, were allowed to continue fishing Tuesday after the commercial openings ended. “It’s galling to the commercial guys who are standing on the beach watching,” Cummins said. But Sto:lo fishery adviser Ernie Crey said Cummins is wrong – aboriginal fishing below the Mission Bridge is also cut off now – adding the closures cover the areas where coho are now in the river. The closures are to extend up to Hope by Thursday and to Yale Saturday, as coho migrate inland. Some commercial fi fishi shing for sockeye by seiners and trollers is continuing in ocean areas where coho and steelhead aren’t expected to be found. Crey said commercial boats, which net huge numbers of fish in brief openings, are likely to end up with their full allotment, while it’s a slower process for mostly shore-based First Nations, who may fall well short of their catch allocation. He also noted the industry lost in the Supreme Court of Canada in 2008 when it tried to challenge separate aboriginal openings. Crey said coho revival boxes are not as effective as other selective fishing techniques, including fish wheels and beach seining – where nets are used to gradually herd salmon close to shore, where steelhead or coho can be released. Environmental groups endorsed the decision to protect weaker stocks and rejected claims of industry reps that are putting too many sockeye on the spawning grounds upriver could actually harm future generations due to overcrowding.

Delta mayor and police chief at odds over federal gun registry

Leading the way to healthier, independent lifestyles.

clear that Delta Mayor Lois Jackson and Police Chief Jim Cessford were on opposite sides of the gun registry issue at Wednesday’s police board meeting. The board was discussing a written request from the Canadian Association of Police Boards (CAPB) for a public show of support for the controversy-plagued federal long gun registry. It called for a statement that formally supports and endorses the “CAPB National Day in Support of the Long Gun Registry” planned for Sept. 15. Jackson opened the discussion by stating she is no fan of the pricey federal long gun registry and she wants the public record to

reflect her opposition. “These dollars could be put into policing in Canada,” she said. Jackson was not present at an earlier police board meeting that gave approval in principle to a gun registry. Cessford conceded there have been problems with the registry, but insisted it has been a valuable resource. “There’s all kinds of examples,” Cessford said. Recently, he said, DPD officers investigating threatening comments posted on Facebook were able to use the gun registry to discover the Delta resident making the comments owned several weapons. The registry also assisted a DPD investigation of threatening behaviour by a Delta student who turned

out to own 14 firearms. “From a front-line police officer’s standpoint, this registry is important to us,” Cessford said. He told the board Delta police access the gun registry database an average of seven times a day. Jackson said she would like to know how many times those searches lead to arrests. “I want to know results,” Jackson said. In the end, the board compromised. It did not back the national day of support, voting instead to send the CAPB a letter informing the association about the previous Delta board meeting that gives support in principal to a gun registry, not specifically the long gun registry the CAPB is backing.

copter last Friday. Three grow-op crops were subsequently discovered around the area of 10400-block 64 Street. Delta Police Sgt. Sharlene Brooks said the helicopter had to guide police deeper into the bog to find the third plantation. In all, about 1,200 mature marijuana plants (about two weeks from harvest) were seized, with an estimated street value of about $450,000. No suspects have been identified at this point.

Will you be sending your child to school with a laptop when classes resume next week? Here’s how you responded: Yes 9% No 91% TECHNOLOGY

OMG: Written word is better

here’s something to be said for the written word. Not typed. Written. Each letter scripted in full with not a hint of such lingo as “omg,” “lmao” or “wtf?” I was reminded of the value of handwritten correspondence the other day, when I discovered my mom looking through a box of mementos: blackand-white photographs of her parents; congratulation cards to a new mother; a news article detailing the “micro miracle” birth of my cousin; and a pretty adorable photo of a certain 2½-day-old baby who bears remarkable resemblance to my own children in their infant days. And then there was the letter. “He could write a good letter, my dad! That must be where you get it,” my mom said as she handed me the brown envelope. The suggestion I may have inherited his prowess for the written word further piqued my curiosity in the 39½-year-old missive. I’d never really considered where my interest in writing came from. Reading that letter, I began to wonder – could a little bit of my grandfather lives on in me? He was clearly much funnier than I – in fact, I’m sure there’s one or two people out there who find me entirely unamusing – but I think I can compete as far as cheekiness goes. But I digress. I wasn’t there – or anywhere – the day he wrote the letter to my mom. Sent Tracy from England, it’s dated early 1971 and I arrived a year later. The pages are folded a bit, but the creases can’t camouflage my grandfather’s personality. My first hint is the page numbers, each accompanied by such parenthesized comments as “cheeky”, “lucky?”, “how does one stop” and, on page eight, “any time now.” I found the first paragraph equally telling: Dear Sir, Madam and offspring (Canucks), Now is the time when everyone should come to the aid of the party and this particular party is very very old, very very forgetful, very slow moving about, learning to drive a car and – all in all – refusing to grow old gracefully.

TOLLS AND TRANSIT

I chuckled as I read his wonderings about whether the “Old Girl” (my grandma) who “poodles along” to bingo is “keeping another man,” and how scenery on the bus “is far more exciting, what with all the mini-skirts.” On page five, I felt tears: When I look at the pictures of Linda & Stephen (my siblings) on their homestead it brings back terrific memories to me because I was born & bred on a similar place. I often wish I could pop in… Reading on, my chuckles returned, as the letter offers parental advice, frustrations of aging and commentary on a wedding where guests were advised to speak carefully. “Maybe I’m a lecherous type – but she was in the family way anyway – and what does it matter where you enjoy your first night after marriage, providing the bed springs don’t give in.” (Reporter’s note: Ick.) I still have letters from my dad’s mum. Of the half-dozen or so from my grandma, the earliest is dated 1981. None of them approach my grandfather’s letter in length or personality, but I treasure them no less. Re-reading them, I regret that the exchange tapered off; that I never thought to communicate similarly with my other grandparents. I’m sure the connection those letters sparked had much to do with the impact I felt when my grandma died. Holmes They made her real to me. My other grandparents had all died years before. But until last week, she was the only one I had cried for. I’d only met my mom’s dad once, when I was seven. Last week, reading his letter, he was suddenly real, too. An email, I’m sure, would not have evoked the same response. Technology may have made it more convenient to keep in touch, but it will never hold a candle to a handwritten letter. “ttfn.” Tracy Holmes is a reporter for the Peace Arch News, a sister paper to The Leader.

Proud of country’s reputation

THE EDITORIAL “A strange hatred arises” (The Leader, Aug. 25) should serve as a much-needed wake-up call to an ill-informed public being swayed by the inflammatory rhetoric about “terrorists on board” and “our sovereignty in peril” produced by small-town talk shows and unscrupulous media. I would like to quote Pope John Paul II, in his message on World Migration Day 2000, when he warned against the tendency of affluent countries to “tighten their borders under pressure from a public opinion disturbed by the inconveniences that accompany the phenomena of immigration. Society finds itself having to deal with the “clandestine” people in illegal situations, without any rights in a country that refuses to welcome them, victims of organized crime or of unscrupulous entrepreneurs.” It is not a secret that Sri Lankan administration keeps hiding what it’s done to the minorities during the conflict – one of the longest ongoing struggle in the world. There have been reports of Sri Lankan rule over the Tamil minority with ongoing internal colonialism in political, social and economic oppression which has been intensifying since May 2009 when the military assaults were brought to an end. The UN’s human rights coordinator Sir John Holmes, at the end of his three-year tenure at the UN and on his parting note, admitted that the Sri Lankan government may have deliberately shelled civilians and hospitals. Former UN official from Sri Lanka Gordon Weiss on his parting note said “between January 2009 to May 2009, the Sri Lankan government slaughtered over 40,000 Tamils civilians and intentionally reported the war zone civilians numbers low to hide the massacre.” Keeping the big picture in mind, I salute Leader editor Paula Carlson for reminding the public on how Canada has a well-founded reputation as a nation of immigrants and refugees and a long history of welcoming those seeking a haven from injustice.

LETTERS

Surrey/North Delta Leader

Canada benefits from immigrants SHARRON SPIERENBURG’S recent letter regarding the money spent on accommodating the Tamil migrants is shortsighted. There were close to 100,000 Vietnam draft dodgers that illegally settled in Canada from the United States. There are fewer than 500 Tamil refugees seeking entry to Canada. The majority of Canadians want the Tamil boat sent home. I wonder why? It has nothing to do with taxpayers dollars as Ms. Spierenburg writes. The fact is immigrants are of net benefit to Canada. Without immigration, Canada’s

economy would shrink. Canada’s aging population and demographics would put a strain on the country’s ability to provide for its people and compete internationally. Canada’s diversity allows the country to make social, cultural, economic and political ties with countries all over the world. Ms. Spierenburg needs to remember that her ancestors, including the Europeans, all arrived in Canada originally via boat just like the Tamil refugees. Only the First Nations people of Canada are not immigrants. Canada is a huge country will a small population.

It can absorb thousands of more immigrants every year. Increased immigration creates a larger domestic market and makes Canada more independent from the United States. Everyone deserves a chance at a good life and to have the opportunity to reach their potential. The little bit that Canada does every year is a drop in the bucket. It can and should do a lot more because it’s the ethically and morally right thing to do. It will help make right the wrongs of our history. Alex Sangha

City unleashes its creativity

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

LAST NIGHT, I was out for a bike ride and stopped in at the dog park on 188 Street by Clayton Heights High School. I was so impressed by the park layout that I was inspired to write this letter and congratulate the city for its creativity in the idea of a dog park and for its design. There is an area for large dogs and a separate area for small dogs. Both areas have a tap for water and baggies for dog droppings. There are benches for the owners as well as logs and large rocks to sit on. There is a path that circles the area and everything is fenced. I entered the small-dog area and was entertained as about 25 dogs interacted with each other. It warmed my heart to see them all getting exercise and having fun. (My dog recently passed away but had she been younger, we would have been at this park every day.) The parking lot was full, so it seemed that people came from all over to let their dogs socialize (the owners do too). Compliments to the City of Surrey for recognizing that people with dogs have specific needs. It’s even fun for people without dogs to watch as dogs enjoy a simple life.

A letter writer is impressed by the design of the Clayton Dog Off Leash Park.

An expensive cat lesson Economy won’t I WANT TO tell you about

a recent incident that happened to our family. We have two indoor cats, Ben and Jerry (purchased through the SPCA). With the warm summer weather, we have been opening our windows and the patio door to let some cooler air in. Although the patio door has a screen, our cats have taken it upon themselves to construct a “kitty door” in it and they sneak outside once in a while. Last night, unbeknownst to us, Ben decided to explore the neighbourhood. Fortunately, a Good Samaritan rescued him, even though Ben appeared to be injured, and took time out of his/her summer evening and tracked down a 24-hour

emergency vet clinic and drove him there. The vet assessed the cat, deemed him to be injury-free and had the SPCA take him in. Our cats have tattoo ID which enabled the SPCA to contact us this morning. I immediately went to get him. Ben had a rather pricey hotel bill for me, $125 for the vet care and $55 for the SPCA. Of course I paid the bill and brought the little rascal home. I got to thinking that this could be a real hardship for some families to have to pay in order to bring their family pet home. My reason for writing this letter is not in any way to be upset with Ben’s rescuers – we are very grateful – but to let

people know that this was an expensive lesson for us and a very frightening one for Ben. Also, for anyone who finds a lost pet, maybe contact the SPCA first and let them asses whether the animal is injured or not, or if you are able and so inclined, keep the animal in your home or a safe place. You can bet the owner will be out PDQ with posters looking for their pet. So in closing we want to thank Ben’s rescuer, the vet clinic and the SPCA very much for taking care to look out for a lost animal. If it weren’t for all of you, Benny may not be home with us tonight. Karyn Anderson, Surrey

IT’S DISCOURAGING news.

The jobless rate is hovering around 10 per cent or 11 million workers. As I see it, that’s not the worst of it. I tend to think the economy is not going to come back to pre-meltdown levels. Remember the level it was at was due to excessive consumer borrowing and people living on credit. It was a shell – a house of cards. The renewed activity we have seen has been essentially the result of more borrowing, this time by the government for the stimulus. Now that the gears didn’t start whirring, the government is planning more stimulus. The U.S. economy does not have the underlying strength. It does not seem able to compete. The only reality I see is that their standard of living has to come down. And, that’s bad news for us, too.

New HQ in New Westminster shared with Transit Police by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK will relocate

its headquarters from Metrotown in Burnaby to a new building in New Westminster it will share with the Transit Police in a move expected to save a significant amount of money. The new four-storey building is to be built on Columbia Street across from New Westminster’s Sapperton

SkyTrain station, adjacent to Royal Columbian Hospital. “We will actual save $430,000 a year over what we’re paying now,” said TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie, adding the savings from the move to new quarters will be worth $8 million over the life of the 20-year lease with developer Wesgroup Properties. He said the recent administrative downsiz-

ing had left TransLink with more office space than it needed and the new quarters allow for a much more efficient configuration of staff. The deal came at what Hardie describes as an opportune time in what is currently a tenant-friendly market. “We got a very good deal,” he said. The move will happen in 2013, when TransLink’s lease for its corporate offices expires

at the Metrotower II office tower in central Burnaby. Transit Police operations are spread out at several different buildings in New Westminster – some of them in need of seismic upgrades – and Hardie said there was an urgent need to consolidate them under one roof. In all, the new 137,000-square-foot building will house 250 Transit Police staff – including uniformed officers and civilian staff – as well as 230 TransLink employees. Hardie said 17 different sites were considered. “It was mandatory that we locate next to high-capacity transit and where we could reflect our own broader regional goals, including collaborative land-use planning that encourages location of jobs, homes and services near existing transit facilities.” The building is part of a cluster of four residential towers mixed with office and retail space in the Brewery District redevelopment Wesgroup is leading on the site of the old Labatt brewery. “We wanted to have a sustainable project from a jobs, residential and retail perspective,” Wesgroup president Gino Nonni said, calling it a prime example of transit-oriented development. A Thrifty Foods supermarket is already under construction there and the total floor space of the redevelopment project is estimated at 1.4 million square feet, comprising 700 to 800 residential units in addition to business and commercial space.

Short staffed North Delta missing several skaters, but wins season-opener

JIM KINNEAR / BLACK PRESS

Michael Nardi (4) of the North Delta Devils avoids a check from a Delta Ice Hawks opponent during Tuesday night’s PIJHL game in Ladner. The Devils opened their Junior B season with a 3-2 victory. Nardi scored one goal and assisted on the other two North Delta tallies. by Rick Kupchuk

till a few roster moves away from being able to ice a full line-up of 18 skaters, things only got worse for the North Delta Devils Tuesday night in Ladner. With only 14 skaters available, the visiting team lost a pair of them in the opening 20 minutes. But those that were left found a way to win, and upended the Delta Ice

Hawks in the opening game of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League season. “It was ridiculous, in Junior B hockey it’s just crazy to have just 12 skaters,” said Devils head coach Dennis Chambers. “But it was a great effort, a character-builder in our first game.” Twenty-year-old forward Michael Nardi was in on all three Devils goals, netting one and assisting on the other two. Defenceman

“In Junior B hockey it’s crazy to have just 12 skaters.” Dennis Chambers Chris Busto tallied once and added on helper, while Julius Ho netted the third North Delta goal.

North Delta outshot the Ice Hawks 41-30, with Alex Wind in goal making 28 saves. The Devils went into the contest “waiting on three or four guys” currently in Junior A camps and may return to North Delta if cut. Forward Marco Finucci, acquired from the Squamish Wolfpack in the offseason, is still serving a suspension which carried over from last season. And recently-acquired defence-

man Alex Warner, 18, wasn’t able to report to the Devils in time to play Tuesday. Warner was acquired from the Grandview Steelers in exchange for netminder Norbert Biszczak, who was the odd-man out in a three-way battle for two positions between the pipes. “The fact that we hung in there and sucked it up made it a good,

PLUS

from a 40-8 home-field loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders two weeks ago, the Big Kahuna Rams are back on the gridiron this weekend in Kamloops, where they’ll take on the Broncos. The Rams will be looking to bump their win-loss record back over .500 – a win Saturday will put them at 4-3

on the season. The Broncos are 2-4 this season. They lost 59-14 to the Rams on Aug. 21 at South Surrey Athletic Park. In that game, Rams rookie quarterback Nathaniel White had perhaps his best game of the season, throwing for 302 yards and four touchdowns, including a 72-yard TD strike to receiver Matt Chapdelaine. Griffin Bullock also caught a pair of touchdown passes in the contest.

Devils: Still shorthanded From page 30 character win,” said Chambers of the victory. “We did some things defensively that we shouldn’t have done. But we also wanted more mental toughness this season, and we showed that we do.” The Devils expect to have Warner in the lineup for their two games this weekend.

The booty of Pirate Pak Day ADULTS LOOKING to relive their childhood came en masse

to White Spot restaurants last week to help celebrate Pirate Pak Day, where for the first time in history, the Pirate Pak was offered to everyone, not just kids. Through Pirate Pak sales and donations, a total of $40,822 was raised for the Zajac Ranch for Children - a longtime B.C. charity dedicated to giving children with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities a chance to enjoy an extraordinary summer camp experience. “We wanted to build upon previous Pirate Pak Day successes by offering a special edition ‘adult’ version of the Pirate Pak,” said Warren Erhart, president of White Spot. “We were overwhelmed by the response and because of our guest’s generosity, more kids will be able to enjoy all the horseback riding, kayaking and water sports that Zajac Ranch has to offer.” Mel Zajac, founder of the Zajac Ranch for Children, said he was thrilled with the contribution from White Spot. “We want to thank everyone who took part in Pirate Pak Day. Because of you, so many children’s lives will be enriched through our camp program.”

Cadet a crack shot

CADET DAX KEHOE was the top shot in the six-week Cadet Leader Instructor Rifle Coach course at Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre. Presenting the award was Cpl. Kris Malczynski. The Malczynski Award is presented to the best marksman on each course in memory of Army Cadet Alexander Malczynski who drowned while on a canoeing exercise with his home corps. The family reunited in Vernon this summer to dedicate a memorial bench to him. Cadet Kehoe is a member of 2822 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, based in Surrey. During the summer, more than 1,100 army cadets from Western Canada have spent up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley centre, expanding the training they receive at their home corps, developing new skills and forming friendships.

Strange, antiquated laws are not easy to find, he says, but when he finds one it’s like hitting the veritable mother lode. It’s illegal to climb a tree in Oshawa, Ont., for example. And until 1986, men and women swimming in certain areas in Vancouver had to be covered from “neck to knee.” But not every strange law is one that pops out and causes such a stir. “Most bylaws are pretty mundane,” he says.

shepherd-husky cross â&#x20AC;&#x153;looked a pretty sorry case,â&#x20AC;? recalled Barrie Gabie of a pivotal moment in his search for a rescue dog he could care for at his South Surrey home. Gabie had come to the SPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Surrey branch before his scheduled volunteer orientation to see Ford, who staff had told him desperately needed a home. The 10-year-old dog weighed just 52 pounds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; about 20 pounds underweight â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and his sores were caused by a skin condition. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been at the SPCA for a month, after being seized from a property, and needed a dedicated caregiver to wash his sores daily, take him to regular vet appointments and give him medication. Gabie didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew as soon as I saw him there was no problem,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I (could) handle this.â&#x20AC;? Gabie is no stranger to dogs in need of some extra attention. He and his commonlaw partner, Marge Gale, have had dogs for more than 30 years. Six were rescued â&#x20AC;&#x201C; some from being euthanized â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including a deaf and blind 13-year-old shih tzu. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a really

rewarding, fun thing to do,â&#x20AC;? Gabie said of caring for the pets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got an endless string of these guys who need homes. It just feels good and you are solving a problem, too.â&#x20AC;? After the coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most recent companions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Bud, a malamute, and Kiwi, a lab â&#x20AC;&#x201C; died in the last two summers, it was the first time in 30 years they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a dog. And then along came Ford. For the first month, Ford never wagged his tail or showed signs of happiness. Gabie would

Gale said. The cleaning process took more than an hour every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to have a bit of a stomach to go do this stuff,â&#x20AC;? Gabie said, noting he had cared for a dog with a skin condition before. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got to roll up their sleeves and dig in to help them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you put that effort in, look at the results

you can get.â&#x20AC;? Since being taken in by the couple last May, Ford has put on a third of his body weight and is now 67 pounds â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just a few pounds shy of his ideal heaviness. The sores on his back and sides are healing, and his fur has begun to grow back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been doing tremendously well,â&#x20AC;? Gabie said. Gale said Ford is now a friendly, cuddly and playful dog, and has grown attached to Gabie. The SPCA took notice of Fordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happy ending, and has named him ambassador dog for the Surrey shelterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eighth annual Paws for a Cause, one of the societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest fundraisers of the year. The Sept. 12 event will feature a threekilometre walk in Crescent Park, 2610 128 St., which Ford will lead. Up to 700 people are expected to attend the event. Registration is at 9:30 a.m.; the walk is to kick off at 11 a.m. While the goal is to raise $74,000, the fundraiser is also to recognize the unique relationship between humans and animals.

sing a clean sheet of paper, the Surrey Hospice Society has come up with an artistic way to raise money with a Doodle Art Reception. To assist with the fundraiser, the famous and semi-famous from across Canada have submitted doodles for sale at this month. Among the contributors so far: Former B.C. Premier Bill Vander Zalm, TV and radio sports Jody Vance, Vancouver Whitecaps President Bob Lenarduzzi and CityTV Breakfast Television host Dawn Chubai. Among somewhat less famous folks are Linda Van Russum, executive assistant to MLA Kevin Falcon, Canadian artists Sharon Fox Cranston, Myrna Brooks Bercovitch, Nick Bantock, Pam Weber, Loraine Wellman, and (rumoured to join) some Surrey council members and their families. The invitations began going out last spring and are still coming in, says executive director Marion Bradner. The doodles, most of them autographed, will be sold at silent and live auctions at the event. The Surrey Hospice Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Doodle Art Reception takes place Sept. 23 from 5:30-8 p.m. at Eaglequest Coyote Creek Golf Club, 7778 152 St. The event includes a cocktail reception, live and silent auctions and music by Acoustic Groove.

tattoos – and the Jonas Brothers. Their music is pop – with an edge. Not only does the band admire Blink 182, but they also went to the same high school as the successful rock group. “They were the first band where I was like, ‘that’s what I wanna do,’”Quiseng says. Born in San Diego, the high school friends first started playing in a garage, writing their own lyrics and posting their tunes online. “With Allstar Weekend, what you see is what you get,” Porter explains. “We do all the things that normal teenagers do, and that’s exactly what we write our songs about.” They have quickly gone from “standard dudes” to superstars. So far, they’ve racked up more than 2.5 million Myspace plays and 811,000 YouTube visits for their video of Journey to the End of My Life. Their online popularity grabbed the attention of The Walt Disney Company, and the band was chosen to

participate in Radio Disney’s Next Big Thing program. The reaction was so positive, Hollywood Records snapped them up. The quartet still can’t quite believe its success. Quiseng says he’s still surprised that “a song that we wrote in one of our bedrooms when we were 16 is now number one on Radio Disney.” The fresh-faced teens are now on Disney’s Top 30 Countdown alongside Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Savanna. The band’s debut album Suddenly was released in June 2010, and despite the hundreds of fans, the members of Allstar Weekend say their biggest admirers are their parents. If watching Allstar Weekend in 2D isn’t enough, you can see them live on Sept. 21 for an all-ages concert from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Bell Performing Arts Centre (6250 144 St.). Tickets ($24.50 and $26) are available through Ticketmaster at 604-280-4444 or www. ticketmaster.ca

Wicklund, who is listed as being from Vancouver but went to high school in Surrey, was among the bottom three couples for the second week, but survived the cut.

Bullets Over Beauty is holding an album release party Sept. 18.

Surrey-born musician, will be performing with his band Bullets Over Beauty at the Bourbon Street Pub (50 West Cordova Street) on Sept. 18. The event will allow fans to get their third extended play (EP) album, Blue Hour Highrise, containing four new songs – a mix of indy underground and rock. Guests attending can expect to see Bullets Over Beauty do what they do best: jam. Watkins will be keeping the beat on the drums. Glenn Chisholm, originally from Nova Scotia, will be playing bass, with Steffyn Schimann at the mic

and Jason Calimbas on guitar. Bullets Over Beauty will be taking the stage with bands including Incura and Timothy. The band formed in 2007 and members say they are taking the slow road to success. “We have seen too many bands race to fortune and fail,” Calimbas said. The last two years, Bullets Over Beauty has made the semi-finals in the Seeds competition hosted by Vancouver’s 99.3 CFOX radio station. Cover to watch all three bands perform in Vancouver is $15 and doors open at 7 p.m. Bullets Over Beauty is also taking part in an online contest for the Vancouver Snow Show taking place Sept. 25

and 26. If they are in the top six, the band will play during the show and even get a

Papa will be missed by his grandchildren; Riley, Eric, Austin, Devin, Adrien, Grace, Bronte, Eli, Monet and Ezra. Fondly remembered by his brothers and sisters Ed (Colleen), Dave (Louise), Rene (Lucia), Denise (Howard), and Linda (Gil). Predeceased by his parents Frank and Adrienne, and sisters Doreen and Florence. He will be lovingly missed by many nieces, nephews, relatives, friends and colleagues. His ﬁnal days were spent with his children and grandchildren. Then God saw him getting tired and whispered “Come to Me”. A funeral service for Tom was held on August 27, 2010 at Kamloops Gospel Chapel. God Bless everyone who came to honour our Dad, and those of you who held us in your prayers.
