Is interest in Surrey Six case fading?

Turnout for fundraising golf tourney faltering

New report argues light rail line through the Fraser Valley could be launched for $492 million

EILEEN MOHAN thinks memories of

A NEW Surrey-to-Chilliwack light rail line could whisk pas-

sengers from the existing SkyTrain system to deep in the Fraser Valley in 90 minutes, according to a new study commissioned by groups campaigning for the project.

The report, by U.K.-based consultant David Cockle on behalf of Rail For The Valley, estimates an initial service running every 20 to 30 minutes on existing tracks could be launched with diesel-electric trains for $492 million.

It could be later upgraded to a no-emission electric system for a further $115 million.

Cockle called the proposal “very viable” with trains running 80 to 100 km/h between 18 stops along the 98-kilometre route.

The line would fulfill a long-held dream to reinstate a modern version of the B.C. Electric interurban rail service to Chilliwack that was shut down 60 years ago.

“When the Fraser Valley passenger service was suspended in 1950 there were less than 80,000 people living throughout the Valley,” Cockle said.

“Today, one million people live in David Cockle Valley communities, with 1.5 million projected by 2031.”

Rail For The Valley spokesman John Vissers said concerns about air quality, climate change and rising gas prices are fuelling demand for an alternative to driving long distances.

“We can now prove from an engineering and marketing perspective that you can run light rail at speeds comparable to driving your car from community to community across the Fraser Valley,” Vissers said. “We want our train back.”

Neither the province nor TransLink has so far shown much

“Very viable” proposal would have trains run 80 to 100 km/ between 18 stops along the route.

the mass murder in a Surrey highrise may be dimming after three years.

“It could be a case of life goes on for people who have normal lives,” says Mohan, mother of Chris Mohan, one of the so-called “Surrey Six” killed in an East Whalley Ring Road highrise suite in October of 2007.

“You pause, and you reflect [on the tragedy], and you move on.”

She was talking about the drop in attendance for the third annual Ed Schellenberg/Chris Mohan Memorial Golf Tournament set for today (Sept.

24) at the Hazelmere Golf Course in Surrey.

Schellenberg, 55, of Abbotsford and Mohan, 22, were among the six people killed.

Schellenberg Eileen Mohan was a gas fitter who was working in the building where the murders took place and Mohan lived next door to the murder scene.

This year, about 68 people had registered for the tournament as of Tuesday.

Compared to previous years, that could mean another drop in the amount raised for the MohanSchellenberg scholarships to help at-risk youth stay in school.

Many cities around the world have light rail transportation systems. These train cars are in Valencia, Spain.

Light rail: ‘It just takes political will’ From page 1 interest in using the historic corridor, both in the past citing concerns transit service could interfere with freight hauling and that other potential rapid transit routes in the Valley might serve more people.

Advocates like Vissers note the price tag is a big advantage compared to building allnew tracks – especially when stacked against pricier SkyTrain technology.

The study estimates the cost of a phaseone startup at just $5 million per kilometre, compared to the almost $130 million per kilometre it will cost to build the $1.4-billion 11-kilometre Evergreen Line to Coquitlam.

They also argue the province’s retention of free passenger rights on the corridor ensures railways cannot simply deny the dream out of concern they might make less money due to slowed freight service.

“BC Hydro wisely retained the rights to passenger service and now we have an opportunity to capitalize on that,” Vissers said.

The proposed route includes 10 main sta-

tions and eight more basic tram stops.

The study also contemplates possible spurs connecting Chilliwack to Rosedale as well as Surrey to Richmond and potentially on to Vancouver.

Passing loops would allow freight and passenger trains to pass, but Cockle’s study assumes most freight trains would be required to run at night only.

“You don’t have to do any major track reconstruction,” Rail For the Valley researcher Malcolm Johnston said.

He said there’s potential to use tram-trains that could operate on both the existing rail corridor through the Valley plus on possible new tram routes within local cities.

That would open up the potential for the same rail cars to turn off and head along King George Boulevard in Surrey someday, or up 200 Street from Langley to Maple Ridge.

“It’s do-able,” Johnston said. “It just takes political will.”

Advocates will plead their case with local cities, TransLink and provincial government officials in the weeks ahead.

Meanwhile, the provincial government continues to keep the lid on the results of its own long-promised strategic review of Fraser Valley transit expansion options, including the existing rail corridor.

A transportation ministry spokesman said the findings could be released this fall.

TransLink previously estimated it would cost at $360 to $700 million to create a passenger rail service as far as Langley on the interurban corridor, although the City of Surrey estimated a shorter route as far as Cloverdale could be launched for as little as $110 million.

Several area mayors are lobbying for light rail rather than SkyTrain technology for any rapid transit extension through Surrey to ensure a broader reach of the service.

Proposed stations: 1. Scott Road. (SkyTrain connection) 2. Delta - Nordel Way 3. Newton - King George 4. South Surrey - 152 Street

5. Cloverdale - 180 Street 6. Langley - #10 Highway / Kwantlen Polytechnic University (Langley campus) 7. Abbotsford - McCallum Road 8. Yarrow / Cultus Lake 9. Sardis - Knight Road 10. Chilliwack Station, Yale Road W and Young Road

Additional tram stops: 1. Langley – 200 Street 2. Trinity Western University – Glover Road / Fort Langley 3. Gloucester Estates / Aldergrove 4. Abbotsford, Essendene Avenue 5. Abbotsford - Marshall Road / University of the Fraser Valley (Abbotsford campus) 6. McConnell Road / Abbotsford International Airport 7. Huntingdon / Sumas, U.S. 8. Chilliwack - Airport Rd / University of the Fraser Valley (Chilliwack campus)

Eileen Mohan: ‘I’m just learning to live again every day’ From Page 1

Ed Schellenberg

In the first year, the event raised $40,000.

In the second year, the amount fell to $20,000.

That was still enough to fund four scholarships in Surrey and the reduced turnout this year should still be enough to fund four more in Abbotsford later this year and early next year, Mohan believes.

She understands why people might have less interest in the Surrey Six case, but forgetting is not an option for her.

It is important to keep the memory of her son alive, Mohan says.

“I’m just learning to live again every day,” she says.

“It’s been a difficult journey.”

Mohan thinks the case may not come to trial for another five years.

She’s been told there are 1.5 million pages of documents that must be reviewed before the proceedings begin.

If those preliminary hearings go smoothly, she says it’s possible the wait could be shorter, more like three or four years.

One man, Dennis Karbovanec, pleaded guilty last year to three counts of second-degree murder in the Surrey Six killings.

Four other men face first-degree murder charges. They are in jail awaiting trial.

A fifth was charged with manslaughter and is currently free on bail.

“For me, the RCMP have done their due diligence,” Mohan says.

“These people are behind bars.”

Former premier should show her mettle Little kids, long days at school

FORMER B.C. premier Rita Johnston joins the Dianne Watts parade by saying “she’d be great” as the B.C. Conservative party leader (“Rita Johnston backing Conservatives,” Sept. 17).

Johnston spent years running a trailer park in Surrey before entering politics, so she knows the B.C. Conservative terrain.

What Johnston may not know is that Watts

has spent her 14 years in elected office ducking from many of Surrey’s problems, such as the vacant malls in Cloverdale and Guildford and the loss of heritage homes.

If Johnston were to think of all the majestic trees cut down in Surrey in the past 14 years, the degradation of salmon streams, the truck parking on the ALR, the monster homes with illegal and uninspected suites, the perpetual

delays on pesticide restrictions and water metering, the poor public transportation, the tolled bridges soon to ring Surrey alone, the greatly increased council salaries, and the steep climb in utility fees, she would give up on Watts and come out of retirement herself.

Too many close calls on 84 Avenue

MY FAMILY and I have lived in North Delta for 18 years. We now live off of 84 Avenue and 109B Street.

During the last few years, the traffic along 84 Avenue has increased drastically. My two daughters, myself and their friends have all had close calls at the crosswalk on 84 Avenue and 110 Street.

This past Saturday, it was more than a close call for my daughter.

She was crossing from the south side of the street at the crosswalk and was hit by a car coming down 84 Avenue.

I got a call from a lady at the scene of the accident to come right away.

When is Delta going to do something about this crosswalk? Traffic has increased, even more now with the construction on Nordel Way. There are controlled crosswalks at Richardson Gate and 84 Avenue. There are also controlled crossings at 112 Street and 82 Avenue.

Yet 84 Avenue has no speed bumps to slow traffic flowing through trying to beat the congestion on Nordel Way. 84 Avenue has become a busy street for traffic passing through our municipality. Along this stretch of road are schools, parks, a recreation centre, outdoor pool and children crossing at numerous crosswalks to get to and from school.

Yet nothing to slow cars down.

THE GOVERNMENT is always talk-

ing about tight budgets. Then it splurges on a new all-day-kindergarten program. At the same time, it has cut spending for grown-up kids’ programs and sports. It leaves me shaking my head. Because all-day kindergarten will have no payback. The only upside is for those who will get jobs out of it.

The education minister says it will pay big dividends when these kids grow up. I guess that’s what the minions in the ministry told her.

As for the little guinea pigs, it is absurd to subject five-year-olds to an all-day regimen. Also, with allday contact there will be lot more spread of disease which will be brought home. People are so stressed and they keep piling it on.

Why subject these five-year-olds to it too?

Unless parental responsibility changes, money spent on this program will surely be money down the drain and our kids will have nothing to show for it by the time they are 15.

Dave Bains, Surrey

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

A parent urges Delta council to make the crosswalk at 84 Avenue and 110 Street safer for pedestrians.

My daughter was clearly visible in the crosswalk, wearing a bright lime-green hoodie you couldn’t miss.

I want to thank all the people who helped her at the scene of the accident: one lady phoned me to let me know, someone had brought

out a blanket for her, there was a nurse who helped and also she remembers someone named Lisa. I thank you all.

The fire department, police and ambulance attendants were all incredible.

Also the staff at Royal Colum-

bian Hospital, to you all, thank you. We were very lucky.

So to city council, do something at this crosswalk before someone else or their child are hurt or worse.

Tension over road cables Democracy in Delta

RE: SLOW RESPONSE to Highway 99 cable barrier repairs.

I am writing in response to the letter you received from Don Pitcairn in the Sept 15 edition.

First I would like to point out that the information Don refers to about Mainroad Contracting being slow to respond to the repairs is inaccurate as Mainroad did not win the bid for this section of the cable barrier he refers to, in fact we came second in the bid process.

I am employed by Mainroad Contracting and was part of the crew that built the first section of the cable barrier. This section is between the Mathews Interchange and the beginning of the HOV lane were the concrete guard rail takes over.

You can’t mistake this section as it is the section that keeps a consistent elevation and a straight line.

The section of cable barrier you refer to is still under construction and until the ministry signs off on the completed work with the current con-

tractor, it is not Mainroad’s responsibility.

Also you stated that the cable barrier worked fine, in fact it did not. Yes there was no loss of life in the latest accident, which is a good thing, however the cables should not be lying on the ground as you state. If the cables are lying on the ground as a result of the latest accident, then the barrier failed. The barrier when properly constructed should remain intact after an impact and the anchor supports should not pull out of the ground. All that should be replaced is any damaged posts and the wire should remain under tension.

The fact that the cables are lying on the ground should be a concern to you and I would recommend that you lobby your local MLA to stop the lowest-bid concept that currently takes place.

I am very proud of the section that the Mainroad crew built and the quality of workmanship that went into it.

CONGRATULATIONS and best wishes to Ian Paton, Delta’s new councillor to follow the honourable footsteps of the late Coun. George Hawksworth.

And congratulations to all the candidates who gave their time, energy and talents to serve Delta.

Lastly, congratulations to Delta residents who cast their ballots. The democratic vote is in.

Now it’s time for all Delta points of view to support Mr. Paton as the new member of Delta council. In turn, I and all residents of Delta respectfully look to Mr. Paton to represent all the people of Delta with our various points of view. Working together in goodwill as a united and progressive Delta is a worthy community goal and democratic privilege.

Don Gordon, Surrey

Carol Vignale

Political ambitions of a few THIS IS NOT funny any longer. A

$30-million cost to B.C. taxpayers makes any perceived negativity of the HST pale in comparison.

We’re basically in a hostage situation held for ransom by the political ambition of Carole James and Bill Vander Zalm disguised as “Champions of the People.”

The majority didn’t sign the anti-HST petition, some 77 per cent-plus of registered voters, so it is not fair that we should have to pay for this.

I think what is a bigger travesty is allowing the political ambition of a few affect the heads of the minority, then dictate the future of this province to the majority.

2 011 C O M M U N I T Y G R A N T S The City of Surrey is now accepting applications for 2011 financial grants from non-profit groups or organizations.

What kinds of organizations are eligible?

Organizations will normally be expected to: • have an active governing body composed of volunteers, with paid staff excluded from voting membership; • have stable, ongoing financial support; and • extend their service to the general public in Surrey, not excluding anyone by reason of race, religion or ethnic background.

Applications will be reviewed using the the following criteria: • The need for the project, the number of residents benefiting from the grant and the value to the community; • The absence of identifiable or competing services, programs or facilities in the community; • The cost per resident, funding sources and financial stability of the organization; • The effectiveness and quality of the proposed program, project or event; • The history of the organization, including past services and programs; and • The suitability for one-time only funding for specific programs, capital projects or special events.

Grants will not normally be recommended for travel, operating deficits, or services that are the responsibility of other levels of government. Any organization which receives a grant should not view the grant as an automatic source of funding in the following years. An evaluation of the use of the Surrey grant must be submitted at the end of the program, project or event.

Surrey mayor, three councillors to network in February SURREY’S MAYOR is heading to India in the spring

as part of a networking exercise for local businesses.

Watts announced Thursday she will be travelling to India from Feb. 10-18 next year to further business networks in the Indian market.

“With its rapidly growing population and strong connection to Surrey’s population, India is a natural fit for establishing partnerships to create jobs and attract investment in our city,” said Watts. “As we expand our focus on the rapidly growing economies in the Asia Pacific, it has become clear that the business potential of India is largely untapped in Western Canada.”

Several companies have already said they will participate in the networking mission, including Rapid Electric Vehicles, Powertech and Simon Fraser University.

The budget for the trip is $128,000 which includes travel costs for the mayor, three Dianne Watts councillors and three staff members. That amount covers pre-event organizing as well as a co-ordinator in India.

Participating businesses will be paying for their own expenses.

Athletes on hold

An artist rendition of an overpass that will give pedestrian and bicycle access from Fraser Heights to Tynehead Regional Park.

Surrey pair to compete in Delhi games

by Rick Kupchuk JUST A few months

Tynehead overpass construction underway Will cross Highway 1 at 168 Street Black Press A NEW PEDESTRIAN and bicycle

overpass is being constructed near Tynehead Park.

The Tynehead Pedestrian/ Bicycle overpass will be 120 metres long, allowing people in Fraser Heights to pass over the Trans-Canada Highway into Tynehead Regional Park.

The crossing, at 168 Street, will include public art by John Webber, who proposes lighting

features to create scenes transitioning between various designs.

The overpass will cost $5.5 million to build, with funding coming from an $11-million grant through the federal government’s Building Canada Fund.

The remainder of the grant is going towards other cycling projects, including an overpass crossing Highway 99 at Winter Crescent, and additional bicycle and pedestrian pathways in the city.

“The City of Surrey is committed to creating sustainable communities and we want to encourage people to get out of their cars and walk or ride to their destination,” said Mayor Dianne Watts.

“We’re an active city and the new overpass will enhance Surrey’s green network and make our parks and trails more accessible.”

The overpass will be complete in March 2011.

ago, Sukhwinder (Gabbar) Singh and Parm Phangura were looking forward to representing Canada at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India.

This week, the two Surrey residents are wondering if they will ever get that chance.

Citing health and safety concerns, Commonwealth Games Canada (CGC) has delayed sending the first wave of athletes to Delhi for the Oct. 3-14 competition, amid speculation Canada may withdraw entirely from the quadrennial event. Scotland and New Zealand have also delayed sending their athletes.

“The bottom line is that the accommodations in the Athletes Village simply aren’t ready,” said Scott Stevenson, CGC’s director of sport.

Singh is a member of the men’s national

field hockey team and competed at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

Phangura is a weightlifter, scheduled to travel to India on Sept. 30.

“We remain cautiously

optimistic that if the pace of work in the Village continues at its current rate, we’ll be in a position to start welcoming athletes and coaches within the next 72 hours,” said Stevenson Wednesday.

CLEAR OUT

as they can,” Falcon said, adding private delivery is no problem so long as procedures are publicly funded and universally available.

NDP health critic Adrian Dix said that’s a concern, particularly as private clinic MRIs are likely to cost the system more money.

He has dubbed the government’s pay-forperformance strategy a “slush fund” more aimed to manipulate public opinion of health care funding through a game of surgical yo-yo than actually achieve innovation.

The number of MRIs to be performed in Fraser Health this year will still fall slightly short of the number performed in 2009, despite the funding lift.

MRI wait times had reached 18 months at some Lower Mainland hospitals and elective surgery waits had grown because of postponed procedures during the Olympics and over the summer.

“What you have is purely a shell game here,” Dix said, predicting long waits will persist.

But Falcon denied it’s simply a shuffling of money that could have been kept in the hands of health authorities in the first place.

“It is new money,” he said. “We are not just handing this money over to the health authorities and hoping for the best.

We are buying specific procedures and specific outcomes.”

The model has raised questions as to whether smaller hospitals could become less viable because they may have difficulty competing against larger ones with bigger complements of specialists, equipment and capabilities.

“Not necessarily,” responded Falcon.

Initially, he said, there won’t be direct competi-

tion between hospitals.

“We want to give all health authorities time to get used to the patientfocused funding model.”

But by 2013, up to 20 per cent of acute care health delivery is to be via patient-focused funding.

Dr. Les Vertesi, the head of the B.C. Health Services Purchasing Organization that will control the distribution of funds, argued small hospitals may actually be in a position to exploit the new rules and expand their offerings.

Under the old system’s rigid budgets, he said, many hospitals were operating “with their brakes on” much of the time, only doing half of what was possible.

“They should be able to take real advantage of this,” he said. “Hospitals like the Langleys, Maple Ridges, Deltas and so on have expertise and space available and they can do things really efficiently because in a smaller environment the cost is smaller and the huge apparatus of people isn’t there.”

The new model is expected to encourage the use of advanced day surgery instead of overnight hospital stays.

Back and spine surgery, bladder surgery and hernia repairs are some of the procedures expected to get much of the new money.

Lower Mainland pilot projects over the past couple of years are credited with cutting waits for spinal surgery and encouraging a shift to a new technique of zapping swollen prostates with lasers rather than using traditional surgery, drastically cutting the length of hospital stays.

Province wide, a total of $80 million is to go out by the pay-forperformance model this year, rising to $170 million in 2011.

Kwantlen numbers way up

Sneaking a snack

Cloverdale campus leads with 10-per-cent growth

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, as seen by this young goat near 191 Street and 72 Avenue on Tuesday afternoon.

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

IT’S A RECORD year for Kwantlen Polytechnic University, where student enrolment is up seven to 10 per cent across its four campuses – and Cloverdale is leading the way.

Cloverdale’s campus, home to the university’s trades and technology programs, experienced the highest growth over last year, a 10-per-cent increase.

The Langley campus was next at just under 10-per-cent growth, followed by Richmond and Surrey, which each had seven-per-cent increases.

“We’re seeing significant increases in virtually every program and every area within the university,” registrar Robert Hensley said.

The record enrolment is partly due to unprecedented numbers of high school students heading to university directly after graduation.

But he also credits changes at Kwantlen – namely its relatively new university status, which has proved to be a real catalyst for student growth.

That status has also helped draw international students, a segment of the student population that’s grown by 17 per cent since Kwantlen became a university, with most coming from China, India and Saudi Arabia.

Transit pass forger jailed for two-and-a-half years Stepped-up fare inspectors coming: TransLink

by Jeff Nagel TransLink is growing increasingly concerned about fare evasion and pass forgeries.

A BURNABY man has

been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in jail for selling forged transit passes in Surrey that may cost TransLink up to $250,000 in lost revenue.

Mathew Stuthard, 26, pleaded guilty to two fraud- and forgery-related charges in connection with the sale of fake annual passes normally issued by the B.C. ministry of social services that give unlimited transit service to special needs clients.

Plainclothes Transit Police officers arrested Stuthard in May near Surrey Central SkyTrain station after receiving a tip.

A search of his Burnaby home turned up counterfeit money, computer equipment for forging transit passes, forged Alberta driver’s licences, retail credit and gift cards, government identification and other evidence of identity theft.

“This is the biggest

file we’ve had of this nature,” Transit Police Const. Jim Biring said.

Dozens if not hundreds of passes are thought to have changed hands.

Biring said the breach seriously undermined confidence in the government-issued passes and has forced closer examination of special needs clients carrying them.

Stuthard had been held in custody and his two-and-a-halfyear sentence takes into account the four months already served.

TransLink is growing increasingly concerned about fare evasion and pass forgeries, spokes-

man Ken Hardie said.

“We’re not seeing the kind of fare revenue we would normally expect to see with the increase in ridership,” he said.

“As a result the public can expect a lot more fare checks for the foreseeable future.”

Much fare evasion consists of people buying one-zone tickets but illegally stretching their ride out to two or three zones, he said.

That will cease to be a problem once a new TransLink smart card payment system arrives that will ultimately charge based on distance travelled.

Turnstiles coming to the SkyTrain system will

also rein in fare cheats, he said.

Pass forging is also a concern, he said, especially involving student U-Passes.

“We have asked that there be much tighter management of the issuance of passes at the school level to reduce the number of passes reported lost or not delivered,” Hardie said.

There’s also considerable selling of the non-transferrable U-Passes via websites like Craigslist, he said.

“In some cases these passes are being altered with different pictures being put on them.”

More fraud calls Cloverdale targeted

by Jennifer Lang

Still paying banking fees?

LAST MONTH’S warning from the local Surrey

RCMP district office about a fraudulent fire extinguisher inspector has prompted reports of other fraud complaints from Cloverdale businesses.

The complaints vary from fraudulent billing to “extremely aggressive door-to-door sales and email fraud, Surrey RCMP Crime Prevention program coordinator Carrie Chatell (Cloverdale/Port Kells detachment) said.

She reminds people to keep up their guard and to tell their employees to remain vigilant about potential fraud artists targeting local businesses.

One way to fight back is to file a complaint with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (formerly known as Phonebusters), a program jointly managed by the RCMP, Ontario Provincial Police and the Competition Bureau of Canada.

weeks for a knee replacement or hip replacement.

The actual rates remain significantly higher – 35 per cent, 26 per cent and 15 per cent respectively.

Those are among the few performance measures that still remain in the health authority plans.

Last year, Fraser stopped publishing in the plan indicators gauging how many patients face unacceptable waits to get a bed after being admitted through emergency – a key measure of the severity of hospital congestion and the phenomenon of hallway medicine.

Also eliminated were stats on rates of hospital-acquired bacteria infections, aboriginal suicide and follow-up treatment of the mentally ill.

Critics then accused the government of whitewashing embarrassing statistics.

More indicators are dropped from this year’s plan, including a target for regular testing of diabetics that the region was failing to achieve and a measure of wait times for cardiac surgery.

The health authority service plan now contains just eight performance measures, down from 77 three years ago.

Government officials maintain the changes are meant to standardize performance reporting across all health authorities. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Lower river is dead to salmon, forum told Cohen Commission urged to probe habitat destruction

Abbotsford Airport Abbotsford BC

by Jeff Nagel F riday, October 1st Saturday, October 2nd

HOSTED BY BRITISH COLUMBIA TRUCKING ASSOCIATION

Visit our web site at www.truxpo.com

OPTIMISM for the future of the Fraser River’s iconic salmon was in short supply at a public forum of the Cohen Commission in New Westminster Monday.

Many of the 60 participants predicted this summer’s record sockeye run will prove a flash in the pan, giving way to further stock declines.

Several speakers told inquiry head Bruce Cohen they believe much of the fishery’s trouble stems from habitat destruction through industrialization of the lower river, particularly the north arm between Richmond and Vancouver that some said seems dead to salmon.

“There’s something terribly wrong here,” retired fisherman Terry Slack said, noting development covers most of the banks of those channels.

Slack also pointed to Metro Vancouver’s sewage treatment plants, which pump “a river of effluent” out every day, hurting juvenile salmon.

“We have to get these plants to clean up,” he said.

Musqueam Band language coordinator Victor Guerin said the estuary is now almost devoid of salt marshes that serve as habitat for birds and juvenile salmon.

He questioned the government’s “slippery” policy of no net habitat loss when developing major projects and others protested the loss of salmon streams to the construction of the South Fraser Perimeter Road.

Port Coquitlam watershed stewardship volunteer Laura Dupont said the Gateway program represents the paving of the Lower Mainland “from stem to stern” and called the province’s environmental assessments for such projects a “sham.”

Other speakers said past recommendations to switch fish farms to

closed containment should have been followed and the province should rethink its strategy of generating power with run-of-river hydroelectric projects.

Bob Rezansoff, a seine boat owner from Delta, criticized the federal fisheries department’s management, predicting this year’s huge but largely uncaught run will mean tremendous overcrowding on the spawning grounds and weakened runs four years from now.

“The pendulum has swung too far in the direction of conservation for conservation’s sake,” he said.

He said the trend towards drought in the Interior means salmon must get priority for water in their spawning grounds ahead of agriculture.

“Society has to decide what is more important – a second crop of irrigated hay or the survival of the salmon,” Rezansoff said.

Port Coquitlam Coun. and commercial gillnetter Mike Forrest was one of those who alluded to longheld concerns in the industry of unreported aboriginal catches.

Accurate catch reporting is critical to the survival of the stocks, he said.

“We need to know how many fish are taken out of that river,” Forrest said.

“It isn’t really important who’s taking it. But we need to know how many are gone.”

Maple Ridge gillnetter Darrel McEachern championed the concept of individual transferrable quotas.

Gillnetters unable to fish when scarce coho are coming in could sell their sockeye quota to a seiner or troller further offshore who could catch the sockeye on their behalf, he suggested.

Such a system would be more cooperative, accountable and safer

than the current “derbystyle” fishery with long competitive openings, he added.

McEachern said an estimated 1.5 million sockeye, worth about $7.5 million, were “wasted” because gillnetters were ordered off the river to protect coho.

“Those fish are on their way to the Shuswap where they won’t do any good and may do more harm than good.”

Lorne Jones

Surrey actor and playwright Lorne Jones called for the creation of a new industry – “fish watching” – using hightech cameras dangled into the water.

He envisioned a Meerkat Manor-style TV reality show that records and personalizes individual salmon, which he said would become “heroes” and ultimately compel us to care more about their plight.

The Cohen commission is investigating the deep drops in returning sockeye in the previous two years, in which upwards of nine million expected salmon never showed up.

Adding to the puzzle is this year’s record run, estimated at a staggering 34.5 million sockeye.

Another public forum is slated for Sept.

29 in Chilliwack and the commission begins detailed hearings Oct. 25 in Vancouver.

Higher than expected corporate income tax revenues

by Tom Fletcher THE B.C. government is reducing

its forecast deficits for the next three years, based mainly on higher than expected corporate income tax revenues.

Plummeting corporate tax payments were largely blamed for B.C.’s sudden plunge into deficit last year, when a worldwide credit crisis stalled construction and investment and triggered job losses across the country.

A pre-election deficit estimate of $495 million ballooned to nearly $1.8 billion in the summer of 2009.

Now Finance Minister Colin Hansen says the deficit is expected to be $1.4 billion for the 2010-11 fiscal year, a reduction of $335 million from the previous forecast.

The deficit for 2011-12 is now projected to be $810 million, falling to $130 million in 201213.

The finance ministry expects B.C.’s red ink will end in 2013-14, with a surplus of $80 million.

Hansen noted that the forecast depends on continued recovery in the U.S. and world economy.

Presenting the first-quarter financial report, he said B.C.’s employment, retail and exports have all show signs of improvement.

He stopped short of attributing the improvement to the harmonized sales tax that reduced business costs beginning last July, pointing instead to corporate tax cuts instituted previously.

“We have very competitive corporate tax rates in British Columbia, and those competitive

rates are generating some very healthy revenues for us in these coming three years,” Hansen said.

NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said Hansen is painting a rosy picture that downplays the latest signals from the U.S., where unemployment remains high and the housing market continues to struggle.

Statistics Canada reports that as of August, the number of employed people in B.C. has climbed back up to 2.32 million, the same level it reached in August 2008.

Retail sales in B.C. have also recovered to nearly the same level as 2008, and exports have recovered some of the ground lost in the recession, partly due to lumber sales to China.

Cash Spiel in Cloverdale

Kelley Law, a bronze medallist at the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, watches her shot during the Open Cash Spiel at the Cloverdale Curling Rink on Saturday. Sean Geall of the Royal City Curling Club skipped his team to a first place prize of $3,500, with the Privivkova Russian ladies team earning second place and $2,400. More than $10,000 in prize money was shared by 10 teams.

Kwantlen Eagles still perfect Women’s soccer team gets shutout win in Prince George

by Rick Kupchuk A SECOND CONSECUTIVE shutout win has given

the Kwantlen Eagles a perfect start to the B.C. College’s Athletic Association women’s soccer season.

Kwantlen traveled to Prince George last weekend, where they blanked the University of Northern B.C. Timberwolves 2-0, their second consecutive victory over the Timberwolves.

Dominique Lang scored the first Kwantlen goal, converting a penalty shot in the first minute of play. Shanay Sangha netted her second goal of the season to complete the scoring.

Netminder Melina Gomez earned the shutout.

Standouts for the Eagles included midfielder Meghan Nilsson of Surrey and team captain Brittany McNeill of North Delta.

The Eagles are third in Pool A of the BCCAA standings despite their perfect 2-0-0 (won-losttied) record, trailing the 3-0-1 UBC-Okanagan Heat.

Kwantlen will host the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack tomorrow (Saturday) at Newton Athletic Park, then are at home again Sunday when the Heat are the visitors.

Both games kick-off at noon.

Q The Kwantlen Eagles men’s team was also in

Prince George, where they lost 4-1 to the Timberwolves. Surrey’s Jethro Kambere netted the lone Eagles goal.

Q An official opening of the new turf field at Newton Athletic Park will take place prior to the women’s game tomorrow. Kwantlen Polytechnic University contributed $1.05 million to the $2.85 million project, with the City of Surrey spending $1.133 million and the federal government contributing $667,000.

The project will include the new turf soccer field, lighting suitable for television broadcasts, seating for 500 spectators and storage facilities.

TWO PLAYERS are out and two more are in – and that number could soon jump to three – after a busy few days for Surrey Eagles’ head coach Matt Erhart.

Earlier this week, Erhart shipped 20-year-old defenceman Matt Mazzarolo – who was acquired in the off-season from Merritt – to the Coquitlam Express for future considerations.

And Mazzarolo’s exit opened up spots for two players; his overage roster spot was immediately taken by veteran forward Mike Krgovich, 20, who was was officially added to the roster, and his spot on the blue line was filled by new defenceman Kyle Madsen, 18, a late cut of the Western Hockey League’s Portland Winterhawks.

Second-year forward Jamus Lane will join the Junior B Delta Ice Hawks, and 19-year-old Jeff Regier – the Eagles’ defenceman of the year last season – was expected to report to the squad after being released by the WHL’s Everett Silvertips.

In other Eagles news, the team – currently 4-2 (won-lost) and in first place in the B.C. Hockey League’s Coastal Conference – was ranked sixth in the Canadian Junior A Hockey League’s weekly rankings, which were released earlier this week.

Surrey was 4-1 when the rankings were released. They lost their second game of the season Wednesday night, falling 3-1 to the visiting Trail Smoke Eaters at the South Surrey Arena.

Richard Vanderhoek netted the lone Eagles goal with seven minutes to play, cutting a Smoke Eaters lead to one.

Vinny Lessard was a standout in the Surrey goal, as the Eagles were outshot 40-28.

by Sheila Reynolds DOMINIC WOO, an accomplished

Surrey violinist who spends much of his time performing on the international stage, is returning to his hometown next weekend for a charitable concert.

Sponsored by Knights of Columbus, the Oct. 1 concert will benefit the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation, a charitable organization that works to provide new, free wheelchairs to persons with physical disabilities throughout the world who don’t have the means to acquire a wheelchair.

Woo began his music training in Korea at age six. After immigrating to Canada, he furthered his training, collecting numerous music awards along the way.

He completed his post-secondary studies at the University of Music and Theatre “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” Leipzig in Germany and was appointed concertmaster at the music school and associate concertmaster of the ARS chamber orchestra in Leipzig.

Surrey’s Dominic Woo will play a charitable show at Chandos Pattison Auditorium on Oct.1.

Woo received his performance and teaching degrees in 2008.

He was selected to be part of the Konzertexamen ensemble in Dresden and is currently a member of the Jenaer philharmonie orchestra in Jena, Germany and concertmaster of the Vancouver Metropolitan Orchestra.

He regularly performs in Europe, Asia and throughout North America.

At the Surrey fundraiser, Woo

will be playing selections from Paganini, Bach, Mozart, Sarasate and Beethoven, accompanied by pianist Monica Lee and guitarist Francois Koh. The concert takes place Oct. 1, 7:30 p.m. at Chandos Pattison Auditorium, 10238 168 St. Tickets are $20, available by calling 604-308-6124.

portrayed humans at play. Likewise, play and games have long been a part of art.

Beginning next weekend, Surrey Art Gallery presents Game Show, a group exhibition by Canadian artists that investigates the many relationships between contemporary culture and play, games and visual art.

Game Show begins Oct. 2 with an opening reception from 7-9 p.m. and continues to Dec. 19.

Game Show includes artworks which address fictional games, re-interpreted games, existing recreational subcultures like skateboarding and BMX biking, video games, playgrounds, the board games of chess and jigsaw puzzles, paintball and softball.

B.C.’s minor league professional wrestling shows off its carnival spectacle in photographer Brian Howell’s Wrestlers (2001). In Grand Theft Love Song (2010), artist Myfanwy Ashmore choreographs the main thug character in a first-person shooter video game to perform modern interpretive dance to Duke Ellington. Mimicking the camera angles, tracking and zoom shots of poker television and gambling room video surveillance, Paul Wong’s Mahjong (2010) art installation reveals the intricate player hand movements and verbal queues that are integral to this favourite Chinese game.

Against the backdrop of the rapid ascent of video games and portable play consoles in contemporary life, and in the wake of recent large-scale sporting events, Game Show examines play and games as forms of mediated display, communication, and social relationships.

The artworks in the exhibition reveal the similarities and differences in play across the diverse cultural practices associated with recreation, sport, electronic and table-top games.
