Remembering the Titanic

PHOTO COURTESY SURREY MUSEUM

Surrey Museum marks the 100th anniversary of the demise of the ‘unsinkable’ grand ship by Jennifer Lang

t 20 minutes to midnight, April 14, 1912, passengers aboard the Titanic felt a distinct and troubling bump. The disturbance felt like a train pulling into a station, according to one survivor, whose parents had the good sense to locate the nearest lifeboat and stay there. Billed as “unsinkable,” the grand ship – on her heralded maiden voyage – hit an iceberg in the unforgiving North

The Titanic departs England on her maiden voyage across the North Atlantic April 10, 1912. The ship sank two days later after colliding with an iceberg.

Atlantic, allowing the sea to breach the watertight compartments that made her safe. Two hours and 40 minutes later, she sank beneath the waves, claiming 1,503 lives. Within minutes, the vessel lay broken in two nearly four kilometres below on the ocean floor, lost but not forgotten until her rediscovery more than 70 years later. A new exhibit that opened this week at the Surrey Museum – in time for the 100th anniversary of the disaster – puts visitors aboard the Titanic in a way you might never have thought possible. Unsinkable: Remembering the Titanic, 1912-2012, is presented by the Surrey Museum, fashion historian Ivan Sayers and the Johnson GeoCentre of Newfoundland and Labrador. The exhibit runs until June 12. See MUSEUM / Page 40

Transit fare hikes scrapped The hunt for TransLink savings intensiﬁes by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK COMMISSIONER Martin Crilly has vetoed a steep transit fare increase next year, ordering TransLink officials to instead carve waste from the transportation authority. It’s good news for passengers,

who overwhelmingly opposed the fare hikes. But the decision knocks $40 to $60 million out of TransLink’s assumed revenues over the next three years and increases the odds of a $23 property tax hike per average home next year to cover commitments to expand transit service.

Premier Christy Clark had already rejected area mayors’ call for a vehicle levy – or any other new short-term funding source – to avoid the need for the extra $30 million from the property tax hike, instead vowing an audit will find savings. See CRILLY / Page 10

Cuts to service will not be needed to ﬁnd savings at TransLink, Commissioner Martin Crilly says.

Surrey woman charged in Kassandra Kaulius’ death Facing four counts in deadly crash

Police looking for an oldermodel blue van seen leaving the area

by Kevin Diakiw A SURREY woman has been charged in the death of Kassandra Kaulius, who died in a collision in Newton almost a year ago. Natasha Leigh Warren, 34, has been charged with dangerous driving causing death, impaired driving causing death, causing an accident resulting in death, and failure to stop at an accident causing bodily harm. Kaulius, 22, was returning home in her older-model BMW from a softball game in Cloverdale on May 3, 2011 when a woman ran a red light in a van, smashing into the BMW at the corner of 152 Street and 64 Avenue. Police now believe that woman was Warren. Kaulius’ father Victor told The Leader Wednesday the family is pleased with the charges and they hope the courts follow up with a conviction and adequate sentencing. “We’re not looking for the death penalty,” Victor Kaulius said. “It’s not going to help our daughter or our situation. Our real goal is, I hope the court does the right thing (which is) a deterrent that will stop those next people from getting behind that wheel.” The Kaulius family has been pushing for stiffer drinking driving penalties, including an automatic two-year driving suspension for someone arrested for impaired driving. And if that person is impaired and involved in an accident, the family wants a minimum five-year jail sentence. RCMP Cpl. Barb Creighton said the case was Kassandra Kaulius was a extremely complicated and the Surrey RCMP’s Criminal Collision Investigation Team is still working on the file. softball enthusiast. The investigation even required a re-enactment of the accident and eventually resulted in more than 2,000 pages of disclosures to Crown counsel. Victor Kaulius said the wait wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. “It goes without saying, we’d like everything done within the next day of my daughter’s death, but that’s not how it works,” he said. “I would rather it take longer and their report (to Crown) was accurate and they’ve done the right thing.” Hearing that charges have been laid brought a flood of emotions for the family, Victor Kaulius said. “We’re hurting like crazy because of this,” he said, adding the family’s faith has helped carry them through the pain. He knows they’re in store for another long wait as the case winds its way through the courts. “There’s always that slim hope that she’d plead guilty right away,” Victor Kaulius said. As of Wednesday, a date for Warren’s first court appearance had not been scheduled.

Police were called to a shooting at 84 Avenue and 192 Street at about 11:55 a.m. Wednesday and arrived to find a 30-year-old man shot in the lower leg. He is currently in hospital in stable condition. Police are looking for an older-model blue GMC Safari van which was seen leaving the area and heading northbound on 192 Street. Traffic was closed on 84 Avenue near 192 Street for the early part of Wednesday afternoon. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

School sports season ‘on thin ice’ All spring sports are on the verge of being cancelled due to labour dispute with teachers by Nick Greenizan ONE HIGH school track-and-field meet has

already been cancelled and a handful more spring sports are hanging in the balance, casualties of the labour dispute between B.C. teachers and the province. Already the Surrey track-and-field championships – set for May 4 – have been axed, with the Fraser Valleys still on the schedule, but tenuously, according to just-retired Semiahmoo Secondary track coach Maureen de St. Croix. All spring sports – which also include rugby, soccer and golf – are on the verge of being cancelled for the remainder of the year, as teachers pull back volunteer services. Earl Marriott Secondary’s rugby season “is on thin ice, for sure,” according to athletic director coach Adam Roberts, who volunteers as a rugby coach, and a handful of schools throughout the Fraser Valley have already cancelled seasons, including Sullivan Heights in Surrey. Abbotsford, Roberts said, only has three teams left in its junior league, “but we’re still okay (in Surrey).” A final decision on the fate of the seasons won’t be known until an April 16 B.C. Teachers’ Federa-

tion (BCTF) vote on whether to withdraw all volunteer services, de St. Croix said. And though he didn’t want to wade too far into the debate, Roberts said he hoped school sports would be given the go-ahead. “I’m not a political dude. I just love coaching the kids – a lot of them I’ve had for five years. I will be completely devastated if the vote favours pulling extra-curriculars.” In a statement issued last month, BCTF president Susan Lambert said that withdrawal of volunteer activities is one of the only arrows teachers have left in the quiver in their fight with the provincial government after the passing of Bill 22, which prevents teachers from walkouts and forced them to end limited job action. “This government has repeatedly demonstrated such profound disrespect for the work we do that members felt they had to take a stand,” Lambert said. “It’s one of the only options left open under Bill 22.” De St. Croix is not optimistic anything will be NICK GREENIZAN / BLACK PRESS resolved in time. Though the fate of high school spring sports is currently in limbo, an “Huge numbers are dropping out (of track and informal track and ﬁeld ‘mini meet’ was held at South Surrey Athletic field),” she said, adding that just six Surrey schools Park last Thursday, featuring athletes from a handful of Surrey and have registered for the spring season.

Canucks fun in City Centre Public celebration slated for last round of playoffs by Kevin Diakiw WHILE THE CITY of Vancouver is shutting down the idea of erecting big screen TVs for the Stanley Cup playoffs, Surrey is forging ahead with party plans for the final series should the Canucks make it that far. Vancouver is toning down public events after the hockey riot last year that saw cars overturned and set on fire, stores looted and widespread mayhem after the Canucks lost game seven – and the Stanley Cup – to the Boston Bruins on June 15. Of the 78 people charged with riot-related offences (as of March 29), 25 were from Surrey. For the 2012 season, the City of Surrey is planning a celebration featuring big screen TVs at Central City Plaza (near the entrance to SFU in North Surrey) in what the city is pitching as a family friendly event. Surrey will set up a large screen TV, while a DJ is expected to keep the crowd pumped at intermissions. Face painters, stilt

Canucks fans cheer on the team in Central City Plaza last year. A similar celebration site is planned for this year. walkers and other attractions will be added for kids. The gates will open at the celebration site an hour before the puck drops. People should expect to have their bags searched at the gates. Laurie Cavan, Surrey’s general manager of parks and recreation, said the turnouts last year at Central City Plaza averaged about 5,000 per game last year. That number grew to up to 8,000 by game seven of the final series. Meanwhile, about 10 kilometers to the southwest, crowds are already

beginning to gather on game nights at 72 Avenue and Scott Road, an impromptu location for street celebrations. During last year’s playoffs, the size of the crowds at the intersection swelled to about 10,000. The big challenge, police say, has been controlling traffic and knowing when to shut down local roads. A key concern is making sure revellers don’t get hit by cars. “Crowds will gradually grow as Canucks

progress through the playoff series,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Drew Grainger. “So we’re reactivating a robust and comprehensive plan dedicating police resources to ensure public safety, and making sure pedestrians and vehicles don’t come to an unfortunate meeting.” That involves preplanning detours for traffic in conjunction with the Delta Police Department. The party at Central City won’t begin until the final round of the playoffs, should the Canucks make it that far. A key enforcement strategy at that event will be keeping booze out of the site. That will require a combined effort of private security, RCMP and SkyTrain police making sure people aren’t drunk or bringing liquor onto the celebration site. The playoffs started Wednesday, when the Canucks faced the Los Angeles Kings. The next game in the series against the Kings will be Friday at 7 p.m.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 7

Vaccines just don’t live up to their hype A year for IN “TAKING A SHOT at the myths,” (The Leader,

March 29), columnist Kristine Salzmann would have all parents rush out to get the pertussis vaccine in order to protect infants, hers included, against the outbreak of whooping cough in the Fraser Valley. Unfortunately for Ms. Salzmann and many other misguided advocates, vaccines just don’t live up to their hype. A recent Reuters article has indicated that children who have been vaccinated for whooping cough are more susceptible to the disease, once the vaccine wears off, than children that have never been vaccinated. This is based on a study led by Dr. David

Witt, an infectious disease specialist at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in San Rafael, California. Even Dr. Joel Ward at the Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute tempers his advice to get vaccinated by saying “it doesn’t provide lasting protection from whooping cough.” Of course, the medical establishment’s answer is to make “booster” shots more frequent and vaccinations mandatory. So let’s get this straight: Whooping cough infections are more common among children already vaccinated against whooping cough than unvaccinated children. Whooping cough vaccines have never been

tested for long-term efficacy. Doctors openly admit the vaccine “doesn’t provide lasting protection” against the disease. Yet doctors and government authorities mindlessly push the vaccine anyway? My advice to parents? Do your own research and make up your own minds about the pros and cons of vaccines. Don’t just accept the testimony of someone who is invested in the modality. It is your right as a citizen and a parent to decide what is best for your family. C. A. Archibald Surrey

Don’t cut a worthwhile program

I WAS SHOCKED, dismayed and

disgusted when I read in The Leader’s April 3 edition that the Baristas Skills Link Program was being cut. As a former youth worker who worked with troubled youth, I have seen firsthand what this program could do for these youth. They come from abused, broken and marginalized lives, many former gang members, some just got in with the wrong crowd, or they were running from abuse at home. More than most, these kids need such programs to help them find hope, gain self-esteem and enable them to become contributing members of society. The transformation of these youth from broken and lost to self-assured and happy is still something that I remember and smile about. Many of these youth returned to our facility after they had left to share their experiences and tell us how much better their lives had become. They are able to stand on their own, live on their own and see what comes from earning an honest living. To see that yet another of these types of programs has been thrown to the wayside by our government just goes to show that our children, no matter where they come from, are just not important enough to

welding

THANK YOU for the recent article,

“Welding a new career,” (The Leader, April 5), highlighting the importance of skilled trades – in this case welding – in meeting B.C. industry’s growing need for highly trained workers. As Nadia Ali rightly notes, welding is a three-level progressive credential: C, B, and A. However, it is important to provide a clarification that the length of the Welding C program is one year rather than three as stated in the article. Welding C is an Industry Training Authority (ITA)-recognized training program that leads to an ITA Certificate of Qualification. It is an entry-level program consisting of a combination of work-based and in-school training that takes approximately one year to complete. In 2010-11, ITA issued 462 Welder C Certificates of Qualification. Thank-you for the opportunity to clarify. Kevin Evans, CEO Industry Training Authority of B.C.

ISN’T IT NICE that a regular letter writer who regularly loves to beat the NDP drums, Mr. Frank Sterle Jr., would have us all believe that Adrian Dix just accidentally forgot where he put his transit ticket. Must be nice to be that gullible. We see it all the time, where politicians think they are above the law, whether it is not paying transit fares, or parking in no parking zones, etc. It doesn’t matter which party they represent. I have been around long enough to see that whenever the NDP are in power, they totally wreak havoc on the economy, and in the past, they have taxed the mining industry so much that for several years in the 1990s, the mining industry in B.C. was almost shut down. Even today, investment in B.C. mining is poor, as investors realize that the economically incompetent NDP may once again gain power. God help us. Derek Coughtrey, Surrey

Crilly: TransLink to find $15-$28 million in savings per year From page 1 Crilly said all the savings he is challenging TransLink to find – $15 to $28 million per year – should be achievable without cutting current

or planned services. “We believe this is possible for them to do without service cuts,” he said. “We are deliberately increasing the financial pressure on TransLink and thereby encouraging

it to minimize costs.” But Mayors’ Council vice-chair Peter Fassbender said if sufficient savings to offset both the fare and property tax hikes aren’t found, the mayors could consider

revising the Moving Forward plan approved last year, eliminating or delaying promised service upgrades, many of them south of the Fraser. They include a new Highway 1 bus rapid

transit service over the Port Mann Bridge promised when the new bridge opens, a new B-Line express bus down King George Boulevard in Surrey, a new LangleyWhite Rock bus route,

generally increased bus service in the region, and upgrades to SkyTrain stations on the Expo Line. “The issue becomes where do we go from here and do you cut back in the plan?” Fassbender said. “Does it make sense to open the Port Mann and not to have the dedicated buses to run on the dedicated bus lanes? If that happens there’s going to be a huge hue and cry from south of the Fraser.” Crilly’s ruling only rejects TransLink’s plan to raise cash fares and FareSaver ticket prices beyond the rate of inflation. It is still free to raise monthly pass prices. And cash fares will still rise – TransLink has the power to lift them two per cent each year without the commissioner’s approval. Since they haven’t gone up since 2008, an increase of up to 10 per cent next year is still going ahead, lifting one-zone fares 25 cents to $2.75 and three-zone fares 50 cents to $5.50. FareSaver rates are to remain frozen as a result of the ruling. Crilly noted TransLink is also struggling against other revenue challenges, including lower-thanexpected cash flows from its fuel tax that pose a “threat from another flank.” Nor does it change the two-cent-per-litre increase in the gas tax to 17 cents in the region that took effect April 1. That increase was legislated by the provincial government last fall at the mayors’ request, to generate $40 million a

Martin Crilly year dedicated to ensuring the Evergreen Line to Coquitlam is built. The next step will be up to TransLink, which is expected to bring forward a new financial plan that takes into account the denial of much of its planned fare hike and soft gas tax revenues, which could bring in $100 million less than anticipated over three years. Area mayors are also expected to decide within the next week whether they want to shelve some of the promised service expansion, if necessary, to avert the property tax hike. Crilly said his review did not consider the fact TransLink is separately under pressure from the province to find another set of savings totalling $30 million. “TransLink needs to work through its numbers again,” Crilly said. “It’s their job to manage the situation. They’re going to have to work it out.” He said the search for new long-term funding sources for TransLink will need to continue to finance future transit expansion to serve a growing ridership and population.

De St. Croix, whose last day teaching was March 30, said there are still plenty of teachers willing to volunteer, but they have been put in a no-win situation, choosing between the union’s stand and their students. “It’s very, very difficult for teachers, because they want to coach. They’re between a rock and a hard place.” De St. Croix said she’s helping guide the Semiahmoo track-and-field program for the rest of the season, but will soon hand off the coaching reins to someone within the school. In the absence of school-sanctioned meets, de St. Croix said a handful of “all comers” meets will be held instead. The first took place last Thursday at South Surrey Athletic Park. She was unsure how participants would be chosen for the provincial championships – if the labour dispute is settled in time – considering the two qualifying meets will likely have been cancelled. Fraser Valley championships are still slated for May 15 and 17 in Langley, but rather than the usual junior (Grades 9-10), senior (Grades 11-12) and Grade 8 divisions, the event will be split into two categories, with Grades 8-9 in one and Grades 10-12 in another. The Grades 8-9 meet will act as a B.C. Summer Games trial for the Fraser Valley zone. sports@peacearchnews.com

Wasim Malik was called to pick up a 17-year-old girl and her friend from a Surrey house party in April 2009. The pair, who had both been drinking, didn’t have money but a friend in Langley said he’d pay when they got there. When they arrived, however, there was no one at the house and no party. The girls begged the

police were called. Malik never denied the interaction took place, but said it was consensual and that the teen had offered sexual favours in payment for the cab fare. The judge, however, did not buy the driver’s story and he was found guilty last October. In sentencing Malik in New Westminster Supreme Court last month, Justice Murray Blok said the cabbie was in a position of trust in relation to his young passenger. “She was not only vulnerable because of her youth but also

because, as I find, she was still affected by the alcohol she had consumed earlier in the night,” Blok wrote in his reasons for sentencing posted online last week. “She was entitled to expect that she would be transported safely to her destination without the driver taking advantage of her vulnerability. “All women – all people, for that matter, but women in particular – must be able to feel safe in a taxicab.” Malik will also serve two years probation following his sentence. — with files from CTV

For September 2012

by Sheila Reynolds FOR THE PAST three weeks, a Grade 7 class in Surrey has been soaking up knowledge, using the history of the Titanic to keep their interest afloat. There are pencil drawings of the famous ship on their classroom wall at Frost Road Elementary, as well as written biographies and pictures of key members of the passenger and crew. Teacher Kerry Schwab’s students are also performing a short play illustrating the Titanic’s illustrious beginning and fateful end. “We decided as a class to do this... because of all the excitement of the 100th anniversary,” she said of the cross-curricular theme, which has included language arts, drama, visual arts and math lessons. The class has also used an iPad app called Titanic Her Journey, which has an interactive history, and they’ve been following a real time Twitter page that has people writing messages as if they were on the ocean liner today. “Away she goes! What a sight!” someone tweeted after the ship’s faux maiden launch early Tuesday morning. “The captain has retired to his quarters. He has left the ship in the capable hands of the night watch,” read another

For 13-year-old Sumeet Singh, who didn’t know much about the ship and its history, the various school projects have been a lot of fun. “We actually did a lot of research,” he smiles. “We were learning, but it wasn’t work.” Selina Ye agrees.

Cities protest surprise RCMP pay hikes Richmond wants answers before ratifying policing contract by Jeff Nagel B.C. CITIES say they’ve

been blindsided by surprise RCMP pay raises that the federal government enabled just as it was signing a new policing contract that was supposed to usher in a new era of trust and cost control. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender sent a letter on behalf of the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews Friday – a day after the pay hikes were revealed – expressing “our complete shock and surprise” and warning the incident will create “significant backlash” from councils and taxpayers.

“This is not in the spirit of us coming together and being open and transparent.” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts Fassbender, the UBCM rep in the recent contract talks, said cities don’t yet know how much more money – if any – they will have to carve out of their budgets to fund the higher RCMP payroll. B.C. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said she has been assured by Ottawa administrative savings totalling $195 million will partly flow to cities and could entirely offset the pay raises, and possibly even lower their costs. But Bond is seeking more details. “I am deeply concerned about any potential impacts on our municipalities and that this information came as a surprise,” she said. Toews has said cities were advised months ago that raises on the order of 1.5 per cent were possible this year but the province and cities only learned of the pay package via the RCMP rather than being formally notified by Ottawa, with details. Fassbender said even if the pay hikes end up cost-neutral or better for cities, the lack of communication and consultation is deeply troubling, as is the timing. “You just can’t plan

this way,” he said. The province signed a new 20-year RCMP contract on March 21 – ending its threat to terminate the Mounties and form a new provincial police force – after securing extensive promises of more say for cities on spending decisions. Several cities have already ratified the new contract, including Surrey, Kelowna and the Township of Langley. But Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie said his city is among those that have not yet signed and won’t be pressured into meeting the end-of-April ratification deadline. “Frankly, for us, more important than meeting a deadline is having the assurance that this is a reasonable contract for us to enter into,” he said. Brodie said Richmond council was already uneasy with the contract’s term and other aspects before the pay hike revelations were disclosed. “We don’t give a 20-year contract to anybody,” Brodie said. “We already had questions. Now we’ve got many, many more questions.” Mayors from RCMPpoliced Lower Mainland cities will meet in Surrey April 20 to discuss the contract and pay raises. Brodie said he wants to hear what other mayors say there before considering Richmond’s next step. Surrey ratified the contract April 2 but Mayor Dianne Watts said she is extremely upset with how the federal government handled the wage increases and how cities were shut out of the process. “This is not in the spirit of us coming together and being open and transparent,” Watts said Monday. “The province didn’t even know about it.” But she said she doesn’t regret signing the agreement with the Mounties. “Not at all,” Watts said. “We’ve been at it for three or four years.” Fassbender said cities that don’t sign by the deadline effectively give two years notice of withdrawal from the RCMP and commit to forming their own police forces or partnering with existing municipal forces. “I’m still going to urge our council to sign the new contract,” Fassbender said. He said the new

contract’s provisions of better disclosure and consultation were not yet in effect, adding the incident underscores the need for change. “What this shows is how the old system would catch us off guard all the time and we would get told ‘Here’s your bill and just pay it,’” he said. “Under the new contract that process shouldn’t continue.” Fassbender said he does not believe Toews was deliberately with-

holding information on the pay raises when he signed the new contract at last month’s ceremony in Surrey. “I don’t see any sinister intent on anybody’s part here,” he said, adding the federal budget was still being developed. He said he will be “delighted” if the compensation package ends up cost-neutral to cities. “But we need the facts and right now we don’t have them.”

The new contract creates a UBCM-led committee with 10 civic reps who are promised much more hands-on control of spending changes, instead of just an advisory role. Cities that sign the RCMP deal can still opt out at any time on two years notice, and a review of the contract is promised every five years. — with files from Kevin Diakiw jnagel@surreyleader.com

B.C. mayors were not informed of the cost of the RCMP contract until the federal government was ﬁnalizing it.

Surrey Memorial Hospital – offer more medical services closer to home so local residents don’t have to travel elsewhere to get the tests and treatments they require. So when the cardiology department was given the chance to participate in a two-month pilot project at SMH’s Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre, doctors leapt at the opportunity. The program, which ended late last month, allowed physicians to utilize contrast echocardiograms, which provide a much clearer picture of a patient’s heart than a regular echocardiogram. The procedure is meant for patients for whom doctors, due to myriad reasons, cannot get a clear picture of the organ. It also allows cardiologists to make certain diagnoses that could be missed in a regular echocardiogram. For the patient, the main difference is in the preparation. A special suspension of gas molecules called Definity is injected through an IV prior to the scan. The molecules in the suspension substance, explained Dr. Kapil Bhagirath, are filled with gas that essentially “lights up” when scanned. A regular echocardiogram machine is used. “In patients who have very, very difficult regular echo images, we basically enhance the image,” he said. Bhagirath said a lot of times it’s hard to determine what the heart’s function is. “The percentage of your heart function is really important. But sometimes when the images are really bad on standard echo, then you

are stuck and sometimes you have to do other testing that involves radiation.” The echo also allows doctors to more easily rule out a blood clot in the heart. Vancouver General, St. Paul’s and Royal Columbian hospitals have been using socalled “contrast echos” for some time, but the pilot program at SMH is the first trial south of the Fraser. The contrast echocardiogram was used on about 40 patients during the twomonth period in Surrey. “This isn’t cutting edge. This is something that’s well-established. But Canada, compared to the United States, has really lagged behind using contract echos,” said Bhagirath.

“In patients who have very, very difﬁcult regular echo images, we basically enhance the image.” Kapil Bhagirath Cardiac physicians are hoping they can bring contrast echos to Surrey permanently. “We have such a large population base. We want to provide our citizens with top-notch echo care,” said Bhagirath, who was born and raised in Surrey, but only returned last year after training in Vancouver, Winnipeg and at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. “We’re trying to offer more and more in Surrey so that we can prevent patients having to go to other places.” sreynolds@surreyleader.com

Changes: Are meant to free up Sophie’s Place benefits valuable court time, MLA says from civil forfeiture “The changes are designed to free up valuable court time and provide animal owners with a less formal and more cost-effective dispute-resolution process,” he says. “It is not fair to compare the time it takes the FIRB to make a decision on a multimillion dollar issue involving numerous parties, for example, quota allocation in a supply managed commodity, to an animal appeal process that involves only the SPCA and the animal owner.” He does believe that the number of disputes will increase slightly,

“It also means that as long as those kennels and cages are filled with seized animals just in a holding pattern, we can’t bring in any new animals into the community.” Chortyk is also concerned that costs to the SPCA and donors will rise as there could be more disputes. “But the other thing too is that for each of these disputes, we’ll have to provide legal counsel.

but does not expect any more than 10 to 15 appeals in any given year. However, Craig Daniell, chief executive officer of the B.C. SPCA, said the new review process would take longer. When animals are seized now, reasons for not returning animals are given within an average of 14 days. “Our concern is, rather than having those animals come in, get the care they need, get rehabilitation and be re-homed, we’re going to have to hold animals from six months to a year while we wait to see if we have to return them or not,” says Chortyk added.

From page 17

it’s going to go to legal costs.” Both Daniell and Chortyk maintain that the BCSPCA supports fairness, transparency and oversight through an appeal process, but say the current system works well. “Our fear is that the new system adds layers of bureaucracy, which will mean fewer animals may be rescued from suffering and fewer animal abusers brought to justice,” Daniell says.

Unique child centre to get $150,000 Black Press A NEW FACILITY for kids who have

been mentally or sexually abused is getting a $150,000 boost from civil forfeiture laws. Civil forfeiture allows the province to seize and sell property believed to be used as part of a crime. The City of Surrey applied for grants under the civil forfeiture program in January. The province announced this week it was giving the grant to Sophie’s Place Children’s Advocacy

Centre, at 9460 140 St. The money will help purchase monitoring equipment for the purpose of interviewing child victims and to build an operational plan outlining practice standard and protocols with partners. The centre was named after Sophie Tweed-Simmons, daughter of legendary rock star Gene Simmons, frontman of KISS. Sophie became involved in the project to develop a facility of this kind following a meeting with Mayor Dianne Watts.

TWO PEOPLE from Delta are in

critical but stable condition after being struck by a van last week. At 8:40 p.m. April 4, the pair was crossing the road in the 10300 block of King George Boulevard, when a southbound Plymouth minivan struck them. They were not at a marked crosswalk. The driver remained at the scene and police do not believe alcohol was a factor. However, police suspected some form of impairment and are currently awaiting toxicology tests to determine if the driver was high. If she was, police say will likely be recommended. The victims, were a 43-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman, both from Delta. They both sustained serious wounds to the body and the head and are both in critical but stable condition.

Police have said in the past that this particular stretch of King George Boulevard is bad for pedestrian accidents, in part because many people on foot donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t use marked crosswalks. City engineers say more crosswalks will be coming as the City Centre area densifies.

wounds after an attack Friday night. An RCMP officer on patrol found the man on the side of road in the 10000 block of 137A Street around 11:45 p.m. April 6 suffering from wounds to his abdomen and arm. B.C. Ambulance Service took the man to Royal Columbian Hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. The male suspect fled the

A passenger found the standard-issue weapon March 21 in an unattended duffel bag in the cafeteria and turned it over to ferry authorities, who then contacted Delta Police. Delta Police spokesperson Const. Ciaran Feenan said Delta Police are carrying out a Criminal Code investigation, and any matters related to policy and procedural breaches will be handled by the RCMP. The Office of the Police Complaints Commission has also been notified, Feenan said.

Better security at Delta Hospital Improved system to prevent patients from wandering by Philip Raphael FRASER HEALTH

officials are tightening up security at Delta Hospital to help prevent patients from wandering away from the facility. Proximity alarm bracelets affixed to patients who are at a risk of wandering will be better covered up. And more frequent checks by staff on wards will be done following the short-term disappearance of an elderly Alzheimer’s patient on March 19. William McKinlay, 81, made it all the way to East Vancouver before he was found by police and returned to Delta Hospital.

McKinlay was picked up in the area of East 41 Ave. and Victoria Dr. at 9:45 p.m. Earlier in the day, hospital staff on the ward where McKinlay was admitted discovered he went missing at around 2 p.m. After a thorough check of the hospital – which took roughly three hours to complete – the matter was reported to Delta Police who issued a media missing person advisory. Police were concerned for McKinlay’s well-being due to the cold weather and his diminished capacity, which made it unlikely he knew the area where he lived, or his

actual address. It was not the first time McKinlay had gone missing. In February, he was reported missing from North Delta. He was later found, unharmed, a day later in Burnaby. “When a patient is admitted to Delta Hospital, like at many other sites, who is at at risk of elopement, they’re give a wristband which triggers an audible alarm when they near the exit areas of the unit they are in,” said Fraser Heath spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward. In the case of McKinlay, the security measure had worked well for the previous few weeks, but his wristband had been removed. “They are not something that you can just slip off. They can certainly be removed if you’re determined,” Thorpe-Doward said. To help prevent that from happening in the future the wristbands will be put on patients

in a manner where they are covered up. “Out of sight, out of mind kind of thing,” Thorpe-Doward said. “It can be a visual irritation or distraction and covering it up, it won’t be focused on.” Other additional security measures include hourly checks by staff on patients, and a specially coloured housecoat issued to patients to identify them as a wandering risk. “That way staff can keep an eye out,” Thorpe-Doward said, adding the three-hour gap between noticing McKinlay was missing and notifying the police constituted the period when a thorough search of the hospital was done. “When a patient is reported missing, the hospital goes through code yellow process,” he said. That means before police are contacted the entire hospital site is searched. editor@southdeltaleader.com

The Jobfest tour has all the trappings of a concert tour, including t-shirts, souvenir drumsticks and guitar picks, and two inflatable tents that look like giant amplifiers. Stops in 50 B.C. communities will include a rock band, local community performers and speakers, with the tents serving as mobile career resource centres. “We’re going into some of the smallest communities in the province, First Nations communities, nonaboriginal communities to really share with the youth of the province what sorts of careers are available to

Money: Do your research From page 24 6. You may be able to draw on your mortgage to meet other financial needs, but devise a repayment plan. One option is a home equity line of credit. Another option is a mortgage product that allows you to withdraw funds from your extra payments whenever needed, which means you avoid the stress of additional borrowing. If your financial needs are relatively small, or if you’re faced with a short-term cash crunch, your financial institution may also allow you to skip a payment. In short, there are various mortgage products available that provide different ways to access funds from your mortgage. If this is important to you, make sure you do some research to determine the best product for your needs. Bottom line: Don’t let mortgage stress get you down. As always, discuss your needs and concerns with your financial institution because we are here to help.

Family-friendly community gaining popularity

Tsawwassen a rising hot spot What is it about Tsawwassen that makes it so popular in the new home market right now? With the release of the second phase of Shato Holdings’ Tsawwassen Springs development late last year, the community formerly best known for the BC Ferry terminal is coming into its own. “Tsawwassen has always been a really nice area to raise a family,” says Ron Toigo, managing director of Shato Holdings. Toigo has been a long-time resident of Tsawwassen himself, and says he enjoys the proximity to Vancouver while still getting away from it all. “It’s half an hour from Vancouver, but

you could be 100 miles away,” he says. Tsawwassen Springs opened for sale earlier last year, and has been extremely popular with all types of homebuyers. Part of its appeal can be chalked up to the city, along with its stunning golf course and mountain views. “Tsawwassen is going to be one of the hot spots,” says George Wong, founder of Magnum Projects, which marketed Tsawwassen Springs’ second phase. “It’s an undiscovered jewel.” One thing that sets Tsawwassen apart is the construction of its developments, Wong says. “You don’t see high-rises and concrete towers. It’s a more pastoral community.”

Power Smart New Homes are a great investment by Kerry Vital

There’s a lot to think about when buying a new home, and energyefficiency isn’t necessarily tops on your list. However, BC Hydro has several reasons why it should be one of the first things you think about. Around since 2006, the BC Hydro Power Smart New Home program ensures that homes are more energyefficient, which will save you money in the long run. “These homes use 30 per cent less energy than an average home in today’s market,” says Kari Montrichard, Program Manager of Residential Marketing for BC Hydro. Homes in the program have an Energuide rating of 80 or higher, Montrichard says. “An Energuide rating is a performance-based building energy rating system developed and delivered by (Natural Resources Canada) and its licensed service organizations. The scale ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 is the least efficient and 100 is the most efficient,” she says, adding that a home’s performance is mainly based on thermal performance and how efficient the heating and cooling systems are. With energy costs expected to rise in the future, buying a Power Smart New Home is especially important because it will help homeowners save money. Montrichard cites three ways that a home in the program will benefit you in the long run. The first is saving on your mortgage insurance, as the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage Insurance will give you a 10 per cent refund if you buy a Power Smart New Home. The second is saving on your monthly bills, since your home will use less energy to accomplish the same tasks. The third is on the resale value of your home, especially when more and more buyers are concerned about the environment and looking for a green home. But is there anything you can do to your current home to make it more energy-efficient? Montrichard says yes. “There are low-cost improvements homeowners can make from draftproofing to replacing showerheads,” she says. “For deeper retrofits and improvements like replacing windows or adding insulation, we have partnered with the provincial government and

“

These homes use 30 per cent less energy than an average home in today’s market,” says Kari Montrichard, Program Manager of Residential Marketing for BC Hydro.

FortisBC to offer the Live Smart program. Homeowners can have a home energy audit to understand which retrofits will provide the best results, and they may qualify for incentives.” When you’re touring a potential home, there are a few things for you to look out for. Lighting accounts for about 16 per cent of the electricity consumption in a house, so the easiest way to increase your energy efficiency is to install compact fluorescent bulbs that include an Energy Star label. Home appliances are responsible for about 20 per cent of the energy used per day, so it’s a good idea to look for an ENERGY STAR label when purchasing new appliances as well. For example, BC Hydro states that refrigerators with that label are at least 20 per cent more energy-efficient than the minimum standard set by the federal government. This means they are better insulated, often more quiet and include more precise temperature settings and better defrost mechanisms. Meanwhile, a dishwasher with an ENERGY STAR label is at least 25 per cent more efficient and can save homeowners up to 20 per cent on water heating costs, BC Hydro says. Another big appliance in the home is a washing machine for clothing. An ENERGY STAR-labelled machine can reduce your overall energy consumption by up to 50 per cent, and uses 35 to 50 per cent less water than standard models. Up to one third of the heat inside the home can escape through windows, so BC Hydro recommends looking for ENERGY STAR-labelled windows that will keep the heat inside during the winter and the heat outside in the summer.

Buy a Power Smart home, save three ways Save now, and save later: not many homes can promise you that. But when you buy a home from a Power Smart New Home Builder youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save money, including reduced mortgage insurance and lower monthly bills. An EnerGuide label is your assurance that the home is independently rated to be energy-efďŹ cient. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, an energyefďŹ cient home is more comfortable too. Layout, amenities, and those much-promoted granite countertops. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to think about when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying a new home. But thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one feature that can make a positive difference to your wallet when you purchase, and every month that you own your home. Choosing a Power Smart New Home gives home buyers an easy way to find a home that is designed and built to save energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Buying an energy-efficient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Smart New Home program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage. But many new homes are not built with energy efficiency in mind - so looking for the EnerGuide label is wise.â&#x20AC;? An EnerGuide rating is a standard measure of a homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s energy performance, rated on a scale of 0 to 100. A rating of 0 represents a home with major air leakage, no insulation and extremely high energy consumption. A rating of 100 represents a house that is airtight, well insulated, sufficiently ventilated and requires no purchased energy. The first benefit youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find is on your mortgage insurance: Power Smart New Homes qualify for a 10 per cent refund on Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation Mortgage

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

Buying an energy-efďŹ cient home is one of the best ways to maximize your home budget,â&#x20AC;? says Doug Overholt, representative for BC Hydroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Power Smart New Home program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you save on expenses, you can afford more mortgage.â&#x20AC;?

Insurance. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll also save on your monthly bills. Homes that are rated EnerGuide 80 use at least 30 per cent less energy than an average new home. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s money in your pocket every month â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially great when energy costs are only expected to rise. Buy a home with a rating higher than EnerGuide 80, and save even more. The third benefit is resale value; as energy costs rise and green building continues to gain popularity, a home that demonstrates its efficiency will likely hold its value as compared to one that is inefficient with high monthly operating costs. There are other benefits as well, Overholt says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Builders who are smart about energy efficiency are adopting improved building practices and making use of new technologies. Their homes are more comfortable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; while using less energy overall. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to add energy efficiency later; you need to get it built in from the start.â&#x20AC;? The Power Smart New Home program gives you an easy way to find houses, townhomes, and condos that are designed to save energy. For more information and to find your energy efficient dream home, check out the full listing of Power Smart New Home Builders and featured developments at bchydro.com/pshomes.

NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home. Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home. And since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winterâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all while saving you money for years to come.

Q Photos by Boaz Joseph

Third-class (often called ‘steerage’) accommodations on the Titanic were considered to be as good as secondclass tickets on other passenger liners of the era. Fashions for this exhibit were assembled by Ivan Sayers.

Museum: An unsinkable exhibit now on display From page 1 It seems the only thing grander and more superlative than the Titanic itself is the legend that surrounds her. A century later, the story still fascinates. For one thing, there was her sheer scale – 11 storeys high, weighing more the 46,000 tons, she was the largest passenger ship on the seas at the time. Built at a shipyard in Belfast, Ireland through the labours of 15,000 workers at a cost of $7.5 million, the Titanic was the world’s most luxurious ocean liner. First and third class (or “steerage”) accommodations on board the “Ship of Dreams” have been recreated for the Surrey exhibit, largely using materials from the museum’s collection, underscoring the rigid class divisions of the day as well as what it meant to travel in style. Second class on the Titanic matched first class on any other liner – the original “super-elite” travelling class. First Class suites, within reach of only the wealthiest, boasted private promenades, two bedrooms, closets and private washrooms. First Class amenities also featured Turkish baths and saunas, a well-appointed gymnasium with fitness instructors and sublime dining hall. Third Class passengers – most about to start new lives in North America – were fortunate to enjoy electricity, heat, and running water in their considerably more spartan

cabins, outfitted with bunk beds. Required by U.S. law, their quarters were separated by steel gates from the rest of the ship but their accommodations weren’t lacking in amenities and amusing diversions, as visitors to the Surrey Museum will discover. Clothing assembled from the museum’s and fashion historian Ivan Sayers’ collection is also featured, revealing what constituted proper cruise wear on transatlantic voyages in the early 20th century for both middle- and upper-class passengers. Then there was the enormity of the tragedy: there weren’t enough lifeboats for all 2,200 passengers and crew. Whether it was denial about the seriousness of the situation – or incompetence – many lifeboats were lowered at less than full capacity. Just over 700 people survived. Museum-goers can flip through a list of all the passengers and crew who were aboard. The story of the Titanic also contains an integral element for today’s celebrity-obsessed culture – a passenger list that boasted the most prominent American names of the day, including John Jacob Astor, a Guggenheim, a Macy’s department store owner and the “unsinkable” Margaret (Molly) Brown, a Denver millionairess and philanthropist who urged her fellow lifeboat passengers to row back to save more lives. Once safely aboard the rescue vessel RMS Carpathia, Brown rallied donations for surviving widows and orphans, earning a place

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich The harness racing family from Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino proved again Tuesday night they know a good party when they see one at this year’s Standardbred Awards Banquet Gala. The scene was Newlands Golf and Country Club: great food, great camaraderie and the highlight of the evening with the presentation of awards based on the calendar year January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011. It’s been my pleasure over the years to emcee the Awards Banquet and it’s always fun to monitor the faces of those winners who weren’t expecting recognition. Falling into that category Tuesday night were Rick White, Horseperson of the Year; Doug McCallum, Hy Class Award; David Woolley, Standardbred Canada Owners Award; Diane Pennington, Pat Brennan Award and Kassandra Linford, Groom of the Year. UDRS and UTRS stats help determine the winning trainers and drivers in the following categories: Top Driver, 20-100 starts: Rick White; 101-250 starts: Ed Hensley, Over 250 starts: Serge Masse. Top Trainer, 20-100 starts: Randy Webster; 101-250 starts: Ed Hensely; Over 250 starts: Keith Clark. Top Driver on Wins: Jim Marino; Top Trainer on Wins: Keith Clark. Winners from Racing Division, B.C. starts only: Aged Mare, Jans Rich Girl and Mystic Maiden (tied); Aged Horse or Gelding, Nobody Can; Outstanding Performer in B.C., Gramrun Jake; Outstanding Claimer $7,000 and Under, Desperate Measures; Outstanding Claimer $8,000 and Over: Stop Calling; Fastest Mile, Kiss My Cam (1:51.2) Winners from Breeding Division: 2-year-old Colt, Gotta Have Nukes; 2-year-old Filly, Cheyenne J; 3-year-old Colt, Gramrun Jake; 3-year-old Filly, Just Fiction; B.C Bred Aged Colt/Gelding, Primary Purpose; B.C.

Road trip tips: The serious side of fun vehicles. RVs. More to love, more to protect. The equipment and contents of your motor home are not included in the declared value of the vehicle. Collision, Comprehensive, and Specified Perils coverage takes care of physical damage to the vehicle as well as contents (up to a certain limit). Additional optional coverage should include emergency vacation coverage, additional contents coverage and insurance on permanent s t r u c t u r e s related to your INSURANCE r e c r e a t i o n a l OUTLOOK vehicle.

Garage and storage doors are rolling open across the province as the warming weather brings out our seasonal vehicles, or motorbikes and RVs. But before you hit the road, you need to make sure your paperwork is in order and your recreational vehicles, loved ones and belongings are protected. Here are some tips on making sure you have fun with complete peaceof-mind.

The Surrey MS Support Group meets on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 12:30 p.m. at the Fleetwood Christian Reformed Church, 9165 160 St. For more information, call Barb at 778-373-0284 or Cheryl at 604-581-3758.

Get coverage. RVs and motorbikes are not insured like regular passenger AUTO vehicles. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll INSURANCE need to determine WITH the worth and LORI insure them TAYLOR accordingly. For seasonal vehicles, the declared value becomes the policy limit and the premium is based on this value. Â It's important to reconsider the value every year: Â Is the vehicle worth more because of modifications, or worth less due to depreciation and additional wear and tear? Â Discuss this with a BCAA Insurance Advisor when you purchase or renew your policy.

Get it right the first time. The right coverage is critical. A basic ICBC policy does not provide coverage for physical damage or higher limits of liability. You may want to consider purchasing Collision, and Comprehensive coverage to ensure that your seasonal vehicles have physical damage coverage. Â

Cover the map. While your RV or motorbike coverage is valid in Canada and the continental U.S., you need to arrange separate coverage if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving it to Mexico. Be sure to plan in advance. Cover your options. It's also advantageous to buy a policy that spans the whole year, so that at the end of the season, you don't need to buy special storage insurance for your RV or motorbike. Purchase adequate insurance and roadside assistance for your seasonal vehicle before you set off on your road trip. The insurance specialists at BCAA will give you peace-of-mind by ensuring you get the right coverage to suit your needs. Lori Taylor is an Insurance Advisor at BCAA.

Jays open season with a sweep North Delta beats White Rock; Whalley Chiefs split ﬁrst games by Nick Greenizan

he BC Premier Baseball League season got off to a good start for the North Delta Blue Jays last weekend, as they defeated the White Rock Tritons in a pair of games Sunday at Mackie Park. In the opener, North Delta jumped out to a 4-0 lead and, despite a late surge from White Rock, hung on to win 5-4. The home team made it two wins in a row in the second game of the doubleheader, winning 2-1. In the first tilt, the Jays got on the board early, scoring one run in the first inning when Brad Antchak walked, took second base on a wild pitch, and scored on a Bryan O’Hara single. One inning later, the Jays made it 2-0 when a single from Shoma Sasaki scored Clint Taylor from third base. North Delta tacked on single runs in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings before White Rock mounted a comeback attempt with two runs in each of sixth and seventh frames. In the top of the sixth, trailing 4-0, Tritons’ first baseman Matt Stevens and third baseman Joel Lamont each crossed the plate on an error, and in the seventh inning, centre-fielder Jackson Temple scored from second base on an Evan Douglas single. One batter later, Talon Van Horn, who reached base after getting hit by a pitch, scored on a fielder’s choice. O’Hara, the Jays catcher, went 3-for-3 with a walk in the contest, while the Tritons were led at the plate by their catcher, Douglas, who went 3-for-4 with an RBI. North Delta hurler Shane Wlodarczak earned the win for the Jays, pitching six innings, allowing four hits and no runs, though he did walk five Triton batters. Offence was harder to come by in the second contest, as the Jays scored twice in the third to eke out a victory. The Tritons’ one run came in the top of the first inning. Pitcher Adam Shumka went the distance for the Tritons and gave up just three hits, but the team’s offence struggled against Delta pitchers Steven Van Vooght, Luke Manuel and Brett Sakaki, who combined for the victory. The Tritons had just five hits – all singles,

Q The Whalley Chiefs, meanwhile, went 1-1 in their season-opening doubleheader Saturday against the Abbotsford Cardinals. The Chiefs dropped the first game 6-2 before rebounding in the nightcap for a 4-2 win. Catcher Braeden Allemann paced the

Whalley offence with two hits and an RBI, while right-fielder Connor Prentice and pinch-hitter Malcolm Upton also drove in runs for the victorious Chiefs. Whalley pitcher Brandon Chernoff went the distance for the win, striking out four and allowing just six hits over seven innings of work. The Chiefs managed six hits in the Game 1 loss, but just one – a double by

Will Motley – for extra bases, as the team was stymied by Abby pitcher Matthew Forsythe, who struck out eight in seven innings. Pitcher Roberto Bevacqua was tagged with the loss for Whalley, pitching three innings before giving way to relievers Yuta Kikuzaki and Evan Rogers, who threw two innings apiece. sports@peacearchnews.com

Firefighters fall short at Imperial Cup Men’s soccer squad geared up for provincial championships this weekend Black Press THE SURREY United Firefighters came up

just short in an attempt to defend their Imperial Cup championship. United lost 1-0 in overtime to West Van FC in the cup final at Kinsmen Park in North Vancouver April 1. United was the fourth-place finisher in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League’s Premier Division this past season with a

12-2-8 (won-tied-lost) record, 12 points out of the top spot and eight back of the runner-up West Van squad. Injuries and suspensions left Surrey without several stars, but spectacular goaltending from Paul Shepherd carried the game into extra time. West Van netted the winner late in the 30-minute overtime. United will now focus on the Provincial Cup tournament, a 16-team

knockout competition featuring teams from four different leagues. The winner advances to the national championships next October. Surrey will visit Peace Arch United in a first round match on Saturday (April 14). Kickoff is at 2:30 p.m. at the South Surrey Athletic Park. Three other local teams are also in Provincial Cup play.

Guardians aim to preserve rugby tradition Game Saturday against New Zealand in Surrey’s Sullivan Heights Park by Nick Greenizan IN AN EFFORT to pre-

serve and celebrate the game’s amateur roots, a new rugby side – aptly named the Guardians – has taken root in Surrey and White Rock. The Guardian XV project was the brainchild of some longtime

Bayside Rugby alums, and aims to keep the game fun – on and off the field – for up-andcoming players while also providing topnotch competition. “The Guardians program is based on all the good reasons why we play rugby. It’s about camaraderie, character,

and a game that people have always played for reasons other than money,” said Guardians’ director of rugby Andy Blackburn, who is also a member of the Bayside Sharks. The ever-changing roster will pay no mind to club affiliations, Blackburn said – in

the team’s first game last week, the roster included Bayside and Surrey Beavers players, among others – and will largely consist of young players from B.C. and Washington. It’s based on the model of the Barbarians FC club, an international team – made up of players from many countries – that travels the world playing other international sides. Older rugby alums are also key to the program, Blackburn said, and will be recruited as coaches and volunteers. The Guardians team, Blackburn said, has been in the works for about a year, and is an attempt to bring a sense of fun and a barnstorming attitude back to the sport, which can, he admits, often be overcoached, especially at the younger levels. “Players today train and play base on a professional model, whether they’re playing professionally or at the club level,” Blackburn said. “If you can make a living doing it, then

Bayside’s Spencer Thorpe carries the ball through the rain during a ﬁrst division men’s game against Richmond earlier this month. Members of Bayside Rugby are now involved in a new initiative, the Guardians XV rugby team, that also involves players from other clubs. great, but like any sport, only a small percentage of players ever do that, so we’d like to preserve the sports’ amateur ethos. “We don’t want players to be afraid to try new things – we want them to play entertaining rugby. Maybe instead of kicking a penalty, just run with

(the ball) – even if it ends up as a complete disaster. We want them to throw caution to the wind a little bit, be creative.” The Guardians, coached by Bayside and Earl Marriott Secondary coach Adam Roberts, played its first game Saturday at South Surrey Athletic Park, losing a

tight 8-5 tilt to a touring team from Francis Douglas Memorial College in New Zealand. Guardians’ lone try came in the first half when fullback Clay Ross, after taking a pass from Liam Beaulieu, raced 50 yards down field, spun out of a tackle, and scored to give the home team a brief 5-3 lead. On Saturday, the Guardians return to the field – this time at Sullivan Heights Park – for a 4 p.m. game against Westlake Grammar School, also of New Zealand. Blackburn said plans are in the works for the Guardians to host a few English teams in July, plus a few U18 international squads. As well, the Guardians may hit the road for a tour of their own in the future. “We want to pit our boys against the best competition we can find, so this is a perfect opportunity for them to play top international teams and see how they stack up,” Blackburn said.

Danielle made a strong run for a spot on the team, dropping nine seconds in her 200m individual medley falling short of the PQS by less than four seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was disappointing to not make the team

Kisser, 15, set national

She came closest to qualifying in the 100m breast stroke race, shaving 6.5 seconds off her personal best time, finishing in 1:58.07. She was just .98 seconds off the PQS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She had a great run and did everything possible to earn herself a place on the Canadian Paralympic Team, a lot of swimmers tend to crumble under the pressure at these types of meets, but Danielle only seemed to get stronger,â&#x20AC;? said Hitchings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most impressive was her ability to stay focused on her goals and to come into every session ready to perform.â&#x20AC;? sports@surreyleader.com

One student, two awards KWANTLEN POLYTECHNIC University student Matt DiMera

beat out student journalists from across the country, winning two national awards at the Canadian University Press’ John H. McDonald Gala recently. DiMera won in both the Excellence in News Writing and the Excellence in Investigative Reporting categories for his extensive coverage of the Kwantlen Student Association. DiMera is the news editor for Kwantlen’s campus newspaper The Runner and is in his third year in Kwantlen’s bachelor of journalism program. “I am so honoured that all of the hard work done by myself and The Runner over the last year has been recognized on a national level,” said DiMera, who hopes to seek out a career in political and advocacy journalism when he graduates. The John H. McDonald Journalism awards were created in 2003 to celebrate and reward excellence in Canadian student journalism.

ment. The 17th annual RCMP Youth Academy took place April 3 to 11. The Grade 11 and 12 students were put to the test as they got to experience a sample of what a career in law enforcement is all about. They saw mock demonstrations of domestic violence, break-and-enters,

traffic violations, arrests, searches and even court cases. About 80 per cent of the students going through the program end up pursuing a career in law enforcement. One example is current Surrey RCMP Const. Derek Bonner. Bonner participated in the Youth Academy when he was in Grade 12 in 2004 and is now a troop mentor at this year’s Academy. “I’ve been involved in this program ever since I graduated from Depot and

came to Surrey in 2008,” said 24-yearold Bonner, now with the Surrey RCMP’s Youth Section. “The Academy is as close to real-time policing as these students are going to see.” Surrey students at the academy this year included: Reanne Brown, Sarah Chila, Carolyn Cizmok, Finn Dawkins, Katerine Dirner, Cody Fenske, Anton Gorkounov, Jasdeep Heer, Charles Mackenzie, Dylan McDonald, Zach Miller, Anmoal Rai, Travis Singh and Corbin Vanderspek

Students Without Borders (SWB), a social club of 40 students at Tamanawis Secondary School, has raised $5,000 for the group Free the Children to build a well in Kenya. To reach their ﬁnancial target, the students launched a fundraising event on April 8 at the Grand Taj Banquet Hall. The event included a multicultural fashion show and dance performances by Kenyan and Ethiopian students, as well as a documentary ﬁlm on the conditions of children in poor countries. ‘We live in a global civilization where we need to take care of the less-fortunate around the world,’ said Tamanawis student and SWB club president Suhmeet Singh.

The skills to win 27 medals THE SURREY School District struck gold – and silver and bronze – at the recent regional skills competition.

The 27 medals were won in 11 categories, including 3D animation, carpentry, fashion and welding. Gold medalists will now advance to the provincial skills competition, which takes place April 18 at the Tradex in Abbotsford. The annual regional,

use of perennials in our gardens is phenomenal. They are a wonderful garden investment, but many folks are missing out on their ability to provide colour almost year round. Perennials should be used to create a continuous flow of colour throughout the year, and by selecting combinations that include evergreen foliage, longblooming plants and varieties that bloom at specific times, perennials can provide that lift we all need, even in the winter months. We should also be using them in combination with other flowering shrubs and conifers for a knock-out showing. The idea is to have not only continuous colour, but also stunning highlights all through our gardens. The traditional plantings of white arabis (Rockcress), purple aubrieta and yellow Saxatile alyssum, still remain the most outstanding colour combination for early spring. These plants are ideal as a low ground cover or as border plants. They also work well in flower beds. To accent these plantings and to keep the colour going, try using heucheras with their rich purple, hot lime, tan and orange foliage, the new bergenias, like Bressingham Ruby or the hot new evergreen euphorbias with their stunning foliage and chartreuse flowers spikes that last for weeks.
