‘Scab’ slur flies in legal aid strike Minority of lawyers refusing to join escalating job action at courts by Jeff Nagel AN ANGRY rift has developed between legal aid lawyers who are staging an
escalating strike to press the government for more funding and those who have opted to continue serving low-income clients. Some in the usually staid and amicable legal profession have even taken to calling colleagues “scabs” for refusing to join the job action. “I’ve certainly heard people saying it,” said Bentley Doyle, spokesman for the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. “Some people are very upset.” The term isn’t accurate, he said, because participating lawyers aren’t a true union. And he said the aim should be to welcome more converts to intensify pressure on the province to provide more money for the underfunded legal aid system. “This is not about inflaming things,” Doyle Kevin McCullough said. “We want to attract more people to the cause.” Participating legal aid lawyers are refusing to represent new adults arrested on criminal charges who cannot afford their own lawyer. They withheld service for one week in January and the first two weeks of February. The strike ramps up to three weeks in March and then all of April. Doyle said there are hundreds of lawyers across B.C. supporting the legal aid strike and roughly 50 continuing to provide service. He said there are four lawyers at the Surrey courthouse continuing to provide legal aid, as well as three in North Vancouver, two in Port Coquitlam and a couple in Richmond.
“I will have nothing to do with it. It doesn’t feel right to me.”

Mountie showed signs of impairment after crash: Officer RCMP Cpl. Benjamin ‘Monty’ Robinson on trial by Christine Lyon A DELTA Police officer who attended the scene of
a fatal accident in Tsawwassen in 2008 testified Tuesday that RCMP Cpl. Benjamin “Monty” Robinson showed signs of impairment at the scene. In B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, Const. Sarah Swallow said Robinson told her he had consumed a couple of beers earlier in the
evening and briefly left the scene of the accident to walk his children home, where he drank two shots of vodka. Robinson is in court this week facing an obstruction of justice charge. He was off duty when his Jeep struck and killed 21-year-old motorcyclist Orion Hutchinson at Gilchrist Drive and 6 Avenue in Tsawwassen on Oct. 25, 2008. See VODKA / Page 4

HST housing rules out on Friday Falcon to release details on phase out of tax on new homes over $525K by Tom Fletcher B.C. AND Ottawa have worked out transition rules for phasing out the Harmonized Sales Tax on new homes, and details will be announced tomorrow (Friday), Finance Minister Kevin Falcon says. A few details remain to be finalized with Ottawa, but it is important to sort through the complicated tax change ahead and give the home building industry certainty, Falcon told reporters Tuesday. HST applies to new housing valued at more than $525,000, and will continue until early March 2013, when the Provincial Sales Tax is scheduled to be reinstated. “The key is that you will have Kevin Falcon certain situations that straddle the PST world and the HST world,” Falcon said. “So for example you may have a house that has been constructed in the HST world that gets all the benefit of the lower costs that consumers realize as a result of not having PST on all of the input costs that go into building a house. “But they may be selling that house in a PST world, where you’re not going to have the corresponding value added tax. So you have to have rules so that the industry understands exactly what happens in cases like that, as an example.” Falcon noted that the latest federal statistics show B.C. housing starts are up 26 per cent in January, despite the extra sales tax on higher-end housing and uncertainty about the tax changes. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Uncertain future for kids of murdered Surrey woman PICS raising funds for funeral; working to help keep children here with family by Kevin Diakiw WITH THEIR mother murdered and father in a
Dutch prison, three Surrey kids whose visas are about to run out are facing an uncertain future. Kamaljit Kaur flew to her former home in The Hague in January to tidy up some post-divorce matters, such as the sale of her car and house. Her body was found Feb. 1 in the living room of her Netherlands home. Her estranged husband in is jail after being arrested for an alleged assault on Kaur last year. Meanwhile, Kaur’s body is being flown back to Surrey Friday for a Saturday funeral. Kaur’s 14-year-old daughter Preet, and sons
Goldy, 12 and Sunny, 5, are now staying in Newton with Kaur’s mother Gurbax, but their status in this country is in question. Charan Gill, CEO of Progressive Intercultural Community Services (PICS), has been asked to help the family “navigate the system,” and has begun to raise funds for the funeral services and the cost of the children’s continued care. As of Wednesday, he had raised $2,200. Up to $5,000 will be required for the Saturday funeral and more will be needed to support the kids. Anyone looking to help can make a donation at Coast Capital Savings to account number 6700930 or donate to PICS, which has set up a trust fund for the children. Tax receipts will be given by PICS
for the donations, Gill said. After the funeral, PICS will begin lobbying efforts to get permanent visas so the three children can stay with their grandmother. Gill said Preet, Goldy and Sunny don’t have family anywhere else, and the accused is willing to send a letter of consent to the grandmother. Gill hopes to speak about the matter with federal Minister of Immigration Jason Kenney when he comes to Surrey on Feb. 22. The funeral will be held at Riverside Funeral Home and Crematorium at 7410 Hopcott Road, in Delta at 10 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 18. The public is welcome to attend. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com
Man arrested after Whalley vandalism spree About 80 cars were damaged at SkyTrain stations Tuesday morning by Kevin Diakiw IN THE span of about two hours, a man vandalized 80 cars in North
RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger
Surrey, causing more damage than police have ever seen in one sweep. Surrey RCMP have charged Dean McEwan, 41, of no fixed address, for allegedly going on a spree of slashing tires and keying cars at Surrey SkyTrain stations at around 10 a.m. Tuesday. McEwan, who has a history of property crime and drug offenses, now faces two charges of mischief under $5,000. Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said witnesses first saw the man near Surrey Central SkyTrain station causing damage to vehicles as he wandered through. Police were called, and by the time they arrived, the man was gone. “We were trying to catch up to him as he was (allegedly) doing this
little crime spree in the area of 104 and King George,” Grainger said. The cat and mouse chase went on for a couple of hours until RCMP caught up with the man at Scott Road SkyTrain station. “We’re looking at about 80 cars now that we’ve identified that have been vandalized,” Grainger said, noting that the damage is in the tens of thousands of dollars range. The charge of mischief carries a maximum of six months in jail and/ or a $5,000 fine. It’s expected ICBC will be pursuing a cost recovery of the damage to the vehicles. Anyone with information about the incident, or who had their car vandalized and have not yet spoken to police, can call Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Surrey: Outside lawyers maintaining normal legal aid service From page 1 Vancouver courts also have three legal aid lawyers still working, but they can’t possibly represent all the clients seeking help there. “North Vancouver and
Surrey are areas where we’re not strong,� he said. “But we’re very strong in Vancouver and the Interior and up north.� Doyle said New Westminster and Chilliwack courts are under a full withdrawal of local legal
aid lawyers on designated weeks. He said the job action began with 38 of B.C.’s 82 courthouses under a full legal aid withdrawal, adding that increased to 53 in February. The Legal Services
Society of B.C., which administers legal aid with the budget assigned by the province, has responded by dispatching outside lawyers to go to trouble spots to fill in. Among them is Victoria lawyer Kevin
McCullough, who said he and partners from his firm – McCullough Blazina Dieno Gustafson & Watt – have succeeded in maintaining normal legal aid service levels in Surrey, Vancouver and Victoria.
McCullough said he’s not willing to withdraw what he calls “emergency� legal aid services from people arrested in criminal cases who may otherwise be stuck in jail. “I will have nothing to do with it,� he said of the strike. “It doesn’t feel right to me.� He said he’s already given up holiday time this year to provide legal aid during the strike weeks and will sacrifice more personal time to fight the job action in March and April. He doesn’t believe the strike will force the government to bend, given the province’s large budget deficit. McCullough said
it’s “bizarre� for private lawyers – who are independent businesses – to use the word “scab� or to purport they act as a unified force. The strike does not apply to legal aid areas such as family and immigration law. Private lawyers who act as legal aid duty counsel are paid $84 to $93 an hour depending on years of experience. The rates had been $80 an hour from 1991 to 2006, when they were raised to current levels. Legal aid funding has been cut by 27 per cent over the last decade, from $96 million in 2001 to about $67 million. jnagel@surreyleader.com
Vodka: ‘...to calm his nerves’ From page 1
Justice Janice Dillon is expected to decide whether or not to exclude from the evidence statements Robinson made to Swallow the night of the accident. Swallow was dispatched to the scene at 10:17 p.m. Shortly before 10:30 p.m. Swallow said she observed a male standing close to the Jeep, who advised her he was the driver. “I noticed that he was pale, that he seemed to have a very dry mouth,â€? she said. “I smelled alcohol about his person‌ his eyes were also slightly unfocused.â€? She said she moved him to her police car to ask him questions. Swallow said Robinson twice incorrectly gave his birthdate as 1975 before correcting it to 1970. “I noticed that the odour of alcohol was still present. He appeared to be slurring slightly,â€? Swallow said. She asked him if he had anything to drink that night. “Mr. Robinson replied that while he was at home, he had a drink to calm his nerves,â€? Swallow said. She said she asked what he meant by drink. “He replied ‘two shots’. â€? She asked of what. “He replied ‘vodka’. â€? Swallow said she told Robinson his symptoms of alcohol consumption were more established than she felt two shots of vodka in the last 10 minutes would have been. She said he told her he had been at a Christmas party earlier and had consumed “a couple of beersâ€? at 5:30 p.m. He then corrected himself and said it was actually a Halloween party. At approximately 11:42 p.m. Swallow said she advised Robinson that the motorcyclist was deceased and that she would be arresting him for impaired driving causing death. According to Delta Police, Robinson’s breath samples gave readings of .12 and .10 mgs of alcohol. Delta Police recommended charges of impaired driving causing death and dangerous driving causing death. The Crown decided not to lay any driving-related charges, concluding the evidence did not establish proof beyond a reasonable doubt Robinson had a blood alcohol level over the legal limit at the time of the collision, or that his ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol, or that he was operating his vehicle in a dangerous manner. A coroner’s toxicological analysis also reported alcohol in Hutchinson’s blood. The trial continues.

Man ‘traumatized’ after daylight assault Mugging may have been for cellphone by Kevin Diakiw ON HIS WAY home from church in
North Surrey Saturday night, a man was severely attacked in a robbery attempt. Police say the 40-year-old man was walking home at about 9 p.m. from church, when he was hit in the head from behind. Then an unknown number of attackers tried to steal his jacket. He held on to it and the assailant or assailants fled. Police believe the attacker was after the man’s cellphone. The victim lay bleeding on the sidewalk near 104 Avenue and Whalley Ring Road before he was able to call his wife, who in turn called police. Police do not have a description of those who assaulted the man. A badly bleeding Corneliu Belciug was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital in critical condition, according to his wife, Stefania. “We didn’t know if he was going to make it,” she said, adding her husband has had three previous cardiac
surgeries and was on high doses of blood thinners as a result. “He’s pretty traumatized,” she said. “He has nightmares and can’t sleep at night.” She said the couple want to thank paramedics, first responders and police who helped at the scene. “They were all just exceptional,” she said. Surrey RCMP are once again urging people to be extra vigilant regarding portable, electronic devices, such as cellphones and iPods. “I would suggest this is a crime of opportunity,” said Cpl. Drew Grainger. “We have seen a number of cellphone robberies in the North Surrey area.” Grainger urges people to be extremely discreet when holding or using their electronic devices. “And if somebody confronts you for them, just give it to them,” Grainger said. “It’s just property, it’s not worth your life.” He estimates police get a few calls a week from people saying that they were robbed of electronic devices.
Planner hurt in serious bike accident Corporation of Delta’s Thomas Leathem suffers broken ribs and punctured lung by Kevin Diakiw DELTA’S director of
community planning remains in stable condition after an extremely serious cycling accident a earlier this month. Thomas Leathem, an avid cyclist, was out for a ride on Feb. 4, on 0 Avenue near 216 Street. Police believe the eastbound planner turned north on 216, when he and an eastbound car
collided. Details won’t be known for sure until a Langley RCMP investigation is complete. Leathem suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung. He was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, where he remains in stable condition. Police do not expect to find that the driver of the car is at fault.
“The investigation is still ongoing, but it’s my understanding there may not be charges,” said Langley RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks. “They do believe at this point that the cyclist turned left in front of the driver.” Speed is also not believed to be a factor. While Leathem is recovering, Marcy Sangret will be filling in his position in Delta.

BEYOND BUDGETS
The value of health care
S
o the premiers and the prime minister are once again haggling over the cost of Canadian public health care with some people talking about how the current universal model is not sustainable. We need to tighten budgets, we are told, because the current spending on care for the sick and elderly is not sustainable. The talk is about money and budget bottom lines and the demographic challenge of an aging population. These are all nice, bloodless terms that avoid the visceral reality for people already struggling with the de facto rationing of health care. Like the 92-year-old man I met during a recent hospital stay. We were sharing a ward in Richmond Hospital following our respective surgeries. Mine was an elective procedure that I’d had two years to prepare for. He had fallen and shattered his hip. A surgical team had repaired the damage, and the next step was going Dan to be learning to walk again. It was his second broken hip, so he knew what he was in for. Sometimes, he would cough and make the pain even worse, then swear at it, then apologize for his mild profanity. The hurt and the prospect of more to come made him impatient and irritable about the ghastly hospital food and the sometimes slow response when he would pull the cord attached to the call button. On occasion, he would get snappish with the nurses on the surgical ward, then apologize and tell them that he understood they were understaffed and overworked. When he was feeling better, he would flirt with them in the respectful, gentle way of an older generation. He was waiting to be moved to another floor of the hospital with the needed physiotherapy equipment, but a bed hadn’t opened up yet.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
BC LIBERALS
To distract himself from the pain, he would occasionally sing to himself in a pitch-perfect high baritone that sounded uncannily like Burl Ives. He’d been there for more than two weeks when two nurses, women young enough to be his granddaughters, dropped by for a pre-move assessment. He’d been having a rough day. The pain meds didn’t seem to be working and he was tired from the resulting lack of sleep. He still hadn’t been able to walk. That’s okay, they said. They just wanted to see if he could stand up. He wasn’t sure he could. But they charmed him into it, helped him sit up in his bed and swing his legs to the side. One on his left, the other on his right, they helped him get on his feet. As he stood swaying slightly, he couldn’t help remarking that one of them had the most beautiful brown eyes. Ferguson “Take a step,” she suggested. “Just one.” He hesitated. “It’s okay,” she said. “We’re right here.” “Just take one,” the other young woman said. So he did. A slow, uncertain shuffle forward. “You did it. Then another. And another. He made about eight steps before he had to sit down. “You tricked me,” he said. He looked pleased. That moment, I would suggest, deserves as much taxpayer-funded support as a toll bridge, fighter jet or football stadium. Maybe even more.

or depressing mausoleum?,” Letters, The Leader, Feb. 14. The modern architecture of the new City Centre Library was designed in response to the changing nature of libraries. In addition to acting as the learning centre for the community, the expansive spaces allow for all kinds of activities where people, rather than books, take centre stage.
People come for quiet contemplation and as a meeting place to share ideas and opinions, to learn as part of a group, or explore ideas alone. The new library is a draw for everyone, from traditional book lovers, to digital geeks, to kids and their families, to curious people looking for an inspiring space to ponder the world. Melanie Houlden Chief Librarian, Surrey Public Libraries
THIS IS in response to the letter
Right the first time: New library is a jewel RE: DAVID GIESBRECHT’S letter, “City Centre
Library: Architectural marvel or depressing mausoleum?” Mr. Giesbrecht, you are correct in stating the City Centre Library is a jewel. You are simply incorrect stating that it is not, in the next paragraph of your letter. The City of Surrey, is now blessed with, in this writer’s opinion, the best library in
the Lower Mainland. It’s a structure that not only will serve as a library in the pure sense of the word, but also as a place where the public can incorporate other interests, gatherings, meetings and functions. For instance, I recently participated in the first Human Library Program held at this remarkable facility, which was not just a
success because of attendance, but enhanced because of our surroundings. Sir, I submit to you, in these times, a library should not be just a square box, filled with books – a mausoleum as in the past. The library is, as you correctly stated first, a jewel. Robert Gary Parkes, Port Kells
Highways need better lane markings THE HORRIFIC, tragic vehicle crash that killed a family of five near Williams Lake last week has me wondering why more isn’t being done to improve the safety of lane markings on our major roads and highways. It used to be that lane markings were repainted with durable oil-based paints. But new environmental rules have apparently prohibited the use these paints. This is great for the environment (and I support that), but it’s not great for road safety because the water-based paints being used instead of oil just aren’t standing up to B.C.’s road conditions. Why can’t we have the lane markings inlaid into our highways just like they have on the Sea-toSky Highway? Grooved lane markings don’t wear away as easily as lines painted with water-based paint, and I’ve seen how they reflect back to the driver even on rainy nights with poor visibility. I don’t know how much it would cost to put grooved lane markings on all our roads and highways, but what is the real cost of safety? I’d say it’s worth far more than any short term expense that would make our roads and highways as safe as they can be. Donald Leung, Burnaby

While it is true that the traditional membership base of the Legion has aged, it is not time to ring the death knell of this iconic Canadian organization. In B.C.-Yukon, our 153 branches with over 65,000 members continue to contribute more than 600,000 hours each year to the communities we serve. We are seeing younger people finding rewarding membership and volunteer opportunities in our branches which we know will pick up momentum going forward. We are innovating and modernizing. For instance, many of our branches interact with their members and the public on Facebook. We are actively recruiting members and are looking for people (with or without military connections) to join the Legion family. Our branches offer incredible opportunities for mentorship and volunteerism in addition to being “a place where everybody knows your name.” Some of the biggest myths about our organization is that you have to wear a uniform – you don’t. You have to have military service or have it in your family – you don’t. What we know – and want others to understand – is that as a member of the Legion, you can be part of a great and welcoming social organization, to volunteer, to get help if you are in need through our many programs, or even to gain real world experience by serving on our leadership teams.

by Jeff Nagel A COORDINATED push to legalize marijuana has gained the backing of four former B.C. attorneys-general, including B.C. Liberal Geoff Plant. The four – who include former NDP A-Gs Colin Gabelmann, Ujjal Dosanjh and Graeme Bowbrick – signed a letter to Premier Christy Clark and Opposition leader Adrian Dix calling for the regulation and taxation of cannabis to combat organized crime. They’re the latest high-profile additions to the Stop the Violence B.C. coalition campaign for pot decriminalization. The letter comes in the wake of a surge in Lower Mainland gang violence in recent weeks, including multiple shootings in Vancouver and Surrey. It warns continued marijuana prohibition is the cause of much of the gang violence and more aggressive enforcement is not the solution. “The case demonstrating the failure and harms of marijuana prohibition is airtight,� their letter says, citing “massive profits for organized crime, widespread gang violence, easy access to
illegal cannabis for our youth, reduced community safety and significant – and escalating – costs to taxpayers.� The only solution, they said, is to “move away from an unregulated and increasingly violent illegal market, which is largely controlled by organized crime and whose only motive is profit, and towards a strictly regulated legal market whose motive is public health and safety.� The former A-Gs also expressed dismay that B.C. is supporting the federal move to mandatory minimum sentences for minor pot offences, saying misguided prosecutions will further strain an already clogged system without reducing pot use or prohibitionrelated violence. Plant, who served from 2001 to 2005, said in an interview he’s glad he was approached by Stop the Violence campaigners and hopes the coalition gathers more momentum. “I have always had a problem with using criminal law to punish a behaviour that one does to yourself – including growing a plant in your backyard and smoking it,� he said.
Plant said he believes the fallout of pot prohibition has worsened since he was B.C.’s chief prosecutor. “It’s causing more gang problems and more gang violence,� he said. “It’s increasingly permeating every aspect of the economy of the province.� Plant said Canada must recognize the war on cannabis has failed and that “all criminalization does is feed the profits of gangsters� by making the drug trade more lucrative. Change must ultimately come from Ottawa, he said, adding provincial leaders focused on sustaining the flow of federal grants are unlikely to rock the boat. While federal Conservatives show no sign of softening on the issue, Plant said he thinks Prime Minister Stephen Harper could yet lead the country to marijuana policy reform. He called Harper an “astute politician� who will ultimately follow where the people lead. A recent Angus Reid poll found 77 per cent of B.C. residents said marijuana possession should not be a criminal offence.

Unique Home: Where girls matter XX The
Surrey fundraiser supports Indian orphanage that cares for abandoned female infants
by Sheila Reynolds THEY’VE BEEN found
in fields, in ditches by the roadside, and even in a bag of discarded clothing. Baby girls. Abandoned and unwanted. Born to families with longstanding belief systems that place a higher value on males than females, the infants are a seen as a burden and tossed aside like garbage in many areas of India. Though females are essential to procreation, males are often deemed crucial to the financial success and social standing of a family. And so the lower status of girls persists. Except at a place called Unique Home, an orphanage that has been taking in abandoned and unclaimed female babies since 1992. Located in Jalandar in the Punjab state, the small building has an exterior window where unwanted infants may be anonymously placed. A bell sounds when a baby is put in the cradle and when there is ringing, everyone gathers around to rejoice and celebrate the arrival of a new baby girl into their makeshift family. Here, they are welcomed and cherished. A tiny bundle that came to be known as Honey was left in the cradle in 2010. But many unwanted babies aren’t brought there. One, who was later named Mamta, meaning “mother’s love,” was spotted in some bushes outside a nearby city the same year, and a few months earlier, two baby girls were found abandoned – one lying between two boxes at a bee farm and another crying in a vacant lot.
MAMTA FOUNDATION OF CANADA
Unique Home, an orphanage for abandoned girls in India, features a cradle window, where female babies can be anonymously placed. There are currently more than 60 girls ranging in age from newborn to 19 at Unique Home. THE CONTROVERSY over gender inequality is not new to India. Some argue the
inequality stems from the centuries-old dowry system, where a payment of cash and/or gifts is traditionally made to the groom’s family from the bride’s family. The arrangement inevitably puts a financial burden
on parents of females, while the families of males stand to profit from a marriage. Though prohibited by law since 1961, dowry is still widely and illegally practised across India. But even if dowry isn’t an issue, other beliefs about the male’s perceived cultural, societal and familial importance remain well-entrenched. Only men can carry on the family name. They are also relied upon to supply economic support to their parents in their old age and take care of the family land when their parents pass away. Makhan Deo, president of the Surrey-based Mamta Foundation of Canada, says because India has no pension plan, parents rely heavily on their sons. “Their only old age security is a boy,” Deo says. Some traditions, he adds, also require that men, not women, perform certain death rites such as cremation or it is believed the deceased will never find salvation. All these factors, says Deo, has led to pressure – often intense – for women to bear boys. He
says women are routinely sent for prenatal scans to learn the gender of their unborn child. They, or their families, then select whether they’ll keep it. “If the first is a boy, no problem. If the first is a girl, they might have five abortions until they get a boy,” Deo says. He’s among several community leaders in Surrey who say the perceived lower value of girls has come to Canada along with immigrant families. (See previous
factor
stories in The Leader’s “The XX Factor” series). INDIA PASSED a law in
1994 – the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostics Technique Act – prohibiting sex selection in India. However, according to UNICEF, eight years after the act was brought in, two-thirds of the states in India hadn’t reported a single violation, indicating the legislation is rarely enforced.
Are females falling victim to the pressure of giving birth to boys?

Mamta: Fundraising event for orphanage is Saturday, Feb. 18 From page 11 UNICEF estimates 10 million fetuses have been terminated in India over the past 20 years. The problem, Deo explains, is that money talks. While one might think sex selection would be more common amongst the poor, who cannot afford to care for multiple children, Deo says the opposite is true. With the law in place prohibiting sex selection, Deo says families have simply turned to paying off doctors to tell them the gender of their fetus. The price goes up if the pregnancy is terminated. “The rich people, the middle class, are doing more abortions. The gender gap is higher than in the poor areas,” Deo says. For those parents who don’t learn the gender and have an abortion, abandoning an unwanted newborn girl is often the final option. UNIQUE HOME was established by

The faith they were born into is unknown, so one is not assigned to them. They all have a mix of Muslim, Sikh, Hindu and Christian names. “Everybody is equal. There is no discriminating by religion because we don’t know it,” says Gurmit Atwal with the Mamta Foundation. The same goes for birth dates.
MAMTA FOUNDATION OF CANADA
Some of the residents of Unique Home orphanage, which is run by a woman who herself was abandoned as a baby.
On April 24 of each year, a huge cake is brought into the orphanage and a mass celebration is held. Because they’ve arrived there under varying circumstances, at various ages, none of them know their actual birth date. On April 24, they know they all matter. As they grow up, some leave the orphanage to attend college or marry. Others remain there to help care for the younger ones in the only home and with the only family they’ve ever known. Still, their home is a crowded one. With only three bedrooms, the room for the youngest girls has just a few cribs, usually with four or five babies in each. For the older kids, rows of mats are placed on the floor on which to sleep. But expansion plans are in the works. A piece of land nearby was donated several years ago and building has begun on a larger orphanage where more unwanted girls can be given a chance at life. In progress for four years now,
work has begun on the interior. Whenever there is money, more work is completed. A FUNDRAISING event for the larger orphanage is being held in Surrey this weekend. Organized by the Mamta Foundation, the gala is expected to attract more than 900 people and raise at least $50,000. The third-annual fundraiser will be held at Dhaliwal Banquet Hall (7938 128 St.), which has donated the space and catering. It takes place Feb. 18 at 6 p.m. Tickets are $60 or $500 for a table of 10, available by calling Gurbax Kaur at 604-594-4103, Rajinder K. Mahal at 778-668-0357 or Makhan Deo at 604-771-2503. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

New hockey riot charges VPD also seeking public assistance in brick attack by Jeff Nagel CHARGES ARE being urged
against another 25 suspected rioters for violent acts during the mayhem downtown that followed the Vancouver Canucks’ defeat in last June’s Stanley Cup final. The additional 70 charges recommended by Vancouver Police must still be approved by prosecutors. The VPD have now sought charges against a total of 125 accused rioters and 47 have actually been charged so far. One recommendation was rejected by Crown while the rest are under review. “These are all serious criminal offences,” Insp. Les Yeo said
of the latest files forwarded to prosecutors. In each case, he said, the suspected rioters either destroyed property, looted businesses, started fires or assaulted innocent bystanders. “This is not about those who stood around and watched the riot,” Yeo said. More than 80 per cent of the suspects for whom charges are recommended are from outside Vancouver. The 25 latest suspects police want charged include an 18-yearold from Richmond who tried to smash the windows of a police car before helping others to flip it. A Burnaby 18-year-old first tried to smash a car’s windshield
then was seen stuffing a rag into the gas tank of a Hummer. “To the disbelief of investigators, he approached onlookers for a lighter and tried to light this rag while the crowd stood around and watched,” according to the VPD. A 23-year-old from Surrey is also facing charges in the swarming assault of Robert Mackay, a Vancouver man who was badly beaten after trying to keep looters from entering a store. The Surrey man, who faces two mischief counts and charges of assault, participating in a riot and breach of an undertaking, was in violation of his bail conditions for a previous Surrey robbery at the time of the riot. jnagel@surreyleader.com
Bond scraps court TV No video coverage of riot prosecutions, says A-G by Jeff Nagel THE B.C. government has backed away from its plan to seek video coverage of prosecutions from last year’s Stanley Cup riot. The sudden reversal was announced by
Attorney General Shirley Bond late Monday, after a provincial court judge rejected the first prosecutor’s application to televise a sentencing. Coquitlam resident Ryan Dickinson pleaded guilty to his part in the Vancouver
riot last June, and was subject to the first of what would have been many Crown applications to broadcast his sentencing via the web. But Judge Malcolm MacLean ruled there was not enough information to make a ruling
in time. A few hours after that decision, Bond issued a statement announcing that Premier Christy Clark’s intention to seek televised justice for rioters is rescinded because of the prospect of further delays.

Senior care refit begins Ombudsperson’s report makes 176 recommendations by Tom Fletcher FACED WITH A sweeping report
from the B.C. Ombudsperson on problems and inconsistencies in senior care, Health Minister Mike de Jong has launched an effort to simplify the path navigated by families finding health care for the elderly. Ombudsperson Kim Carter’s new report makes 176 recommendations, including a need to provide clearer information to people seeking a space in a care home or assisted living facility. De Jong said the health ministry will launch a toll-free phone line by June for people to express concerns about the system. A new seniors’ advocate office is to be established at an unspecified later date. De Jong agreed with Carter’s finding that it is too difficult for families to find care spaces, and to determine if they are eligible for public subsidies. He also agreed that the government
hasn’t sufficiently analyzed its home care support program, which helps keep 90 per cent of B.C. seniors out of care facilities. The government announced a $15 million budget to expand a pilot program run by the United Way to help people with shopping, gardening, transportation and other non-medical supports so they can stay in their homes. The program has been working in five Lower Mainland communities and it is to expand to up to 65 over the next three years. Other measures are aimed at providing palliative care at home for terminally ill patients. Training for doctors and home health providers is to begin in April, and an after-hours palliative care nursing support phone line is also be established this spring. De Jong said priority will be given to keeping elderly couples together when they have different health care needs that force them to be separated.
The seniors’ advocate should be able to deal with financial disputes at private care facilities as well as helping seniors find adequate care in the public system, de Jong said. The report and promised overhaul comes as B.C. is beginning to feel the weight of baby boom retirement. The number of B.C. seniors is approaching 800,000, or 12 per cent of the total population, and that is expected to double by 2029. Life expectancy in B.C. is nearly 82 years on average, and rising. Health care costs rise rapidly in the later years of a person’s life, and the cost is compounded due to longer life expectancy. The health ministry calculates that the average annual health care cost is $2,398 for a person between the ages of 15 and 64. From 65 to 69 the average cost jumps to $6,073, and after age 80 it triples again to $18,906 a year.

Wineries, industry eat into farmland: ALC Chair questions what is a legitimate agricultural use by Jeff Nagel THE CHAIR of B.C.’s
Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) is questioning whether winery restaurants and other business ventures that seek to sprawl on agricultural land should be authorized farm uses. Richard Bullock said he’s examining whether the trend may erode the productivity of Lower Mainland farmland, which is already under attack on multiple fronts. “We want to find out how serious a problem it is,” he said. “How far should we go in allowing these businesses to grow and morph into something far beyond what the original idea was?” Bullock raised the issue of farms building add-on facilities with little connection to their crops at a meeting of Metro Vancouver’s regional planning and agriculture committee last Friday. The ALC is to rule on whether Richmond’s Lulu Island Winery can add a 3,500-square-foot restaurant on land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Richmond Coun. Harold Steves, who opposed the application that was approved by Richmond council, said the Lulu winery complex is already “huge” and primarily uses grapes grown in the Okanagan, not its local property. “The winery is there to have a restaurant, it’s not there for any other reason that I can see,” said Steves, who calls it a serious concern and argues such non-farm uses should be steered to commercial or industrial land instead. “All kinds of people are looking at ALR land for commercial wineries, restaurants and banquet halls,” he said. Bullock said the commission regularly receives requests to add restaurants to wineries. The issue isn’t limited to wineries, he said, noting some farmers start with small-scale processing facilities that “all of a sudden become very large scale industrial operations” on farmland. “When people get
successful at doing something, they want to grow,” Bullock said. “But when have you grown beyond what was originally anticipated?” Bullock also told Metro Vancouver reps he shares their fear that Port Metro Vancouver could seek to transform more ALR farmland into port terminals and related industry. “We, like you, are concerned,” Bullock said, adding the ALC wants to determine whether the port can override the land commission’s rulings on what can be built on ALR land. “We are doing further research into this question about jurisdiction,” he said. “We’ve had, frankly, very little
engagement with Port Metro Vancouver.” Metro’s concerns were heightened last month when the port’s CEO suggested ALR farmland could be swapped for other land to achieve further port expansion.’ Metro directors also told Bullock they remain deeply concerned about the degradation of farmland through the illegal dumping of fill. Delta Coun. Ian Paton said developers who need to dump unwanted soil from construction sites but balk at paying $800 to $1,000 a load at the Vancouver Landfill are instead finding farmers who let them dump it for as little as $200 a
load. Farmland owners frequently claim they need to raise the level of their land because it’s too low to grow crops. “Nine times out of 10, it’s a crock,” Paton said. “All they want to do is bring in fill material and make themselves a purse full of money.” Steves said the owner of a large property can make $1 million or more piling fill on it. But the next farmer who tries to plow the land often turns up plastic, garbage and contaminated debris. Bullock said the ALC wants to partner with local cities that are willing to use their staff to help enforce rules on ALR land. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Many things to think about when buying a home
Simpson offers tips for new home buyers So you want to buy a home, you have a nice down payment saved up and you’re rearing to go. But are you ready? The number-one thing you need to do, according to Peter Simpson, President and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, is get pre-approved for a mortgage. He says this step will virtually guarantee your price point, and it’ll make sure you don’t bite off more than you can chew in terms of monthly payments. “When the offer goes in, you’ve already done the work,” he says. “It saves time and heartache: you won’t get disappointed by missing out on a house that you love.” Do you really need that four-bedroom townhome? Simpson says most couples just starting may be better off with a two-
bedroom, two-bathroom condo, which will allow for an addition to the family without destroying your budget. Above all, Simpson says home buyers need to separate their needs from their wants before hitting the market. Finally, you’re going to want to know what the neighbourhood is like. Simpson says buyers need to do some research into transit, schools and future development plans. Will that green space be turned into a high-rise or more townhomes? Commuters will want to know how long it takes to get to work, so the best way to find out is to give it a shot. Make sure you do it during rush hour. “People say ‘It’s not that far,’” Simpson says. “But people are typically looking at a house on a Sunday afternoon.”
‘Your friendly neighbourhood builder’
Kanaka Creek the first development from Bluetree Homes by Kerry Vital
Buying a new home can be stressful, but working with a builder with a great reputation and decades of background in creating new communities will go a long way to giving you peace of mind and a fantastic buying experience. It was with that thought in mind that ParkLane Homes introduces their newest development company, Bluetree Homes. Owned by ParkLane’s current Chief Operating Officer Ben Taddei, Bluetree is priding itself on its friendly approach to home building. As a member of the Greater Vancouver Homebuilders’ Association and the Canadian Homebuilders’ Association, the entire company is devoted to setting the bar high with the quality of their construction and innovation in home and community design. “Bluetree is building on ParkLane Homes’ stellar 30-year reputation to focus on high-quality homes of all types – apartments, townhomes and single-family homes – throughout Metro Vancouver,” says Yosh Kasahara, general manager of sales and marketing at Bluetree and ParkLane. “ParkLane will continue to do what it does best: deliver large master-planned communities like the 130-acre River District located in southeast Vancouver.”
“
As a Bluetree homeowner, you can count on dependable customer service and lasting quality in your home,” says general manager of sales and marketing Yosh Kasahara.
Bluetree is currently developing communities in five neighbourhoods throughout the Lower Mainland, including Maple Ridge, Surrey, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Vancouver. “Bluetree looks for established neighbourhoods which are close to existing amenities like schools, shopping, parks and transit,” Kasahara says. “This combination of location and home features offer its residents a great quality of life and enduring
value through smart design, sound construction and customer service.” Its first community, “Bluetree Homes at Kanaka Creek” in Maple Ridge, is selling now. The 51 three- and four-bedroom townhomes are available in three different floorplans, ranging from 1,350 to 2,180 square feet. One amazing feature of Kanaka Creek is the Maple Ridge location. continued on page 3
ParkLane has built more than 6,000 homes in over 100 communities across Metro Vancouver, and has been recognized with over 300 provincial and national awards for building excellence. In 2010, they were awarded the Grand SAM Award by the CHBA, and were nominated again in 2011 (the awards will be given out next month.) The Grand SAM recognizes the top builder in Canada for excellence in both building and marketing new homes.

Bluetree Homes has broken into the market with its first townhome development, Bluetree Homes at Kanaka Creek. Featuring beautiful views of the creek and surrounding parkland, Bluetree is also pleased to offer double-basin undermount sinks, left, and an open-plan layout, top.

…off the front: “Bluetree is building on ParkLane Homes’ stellar 30-year reputation to focus on high-quality homes of all types ... throughout Metro Vancouver.” Yosh Kasahara. continued from page 1
Surrounded by the namesake creek and parkland, the great outdoors is literally just outside your front door. A children’s playground is right in the neighbourhood, so if your little ones need to let off some steam, you’re already in the perfect spot. Even the homes themselves have outdoor options, with private decks and patios for entertaining or a quiet evening in. “Due to its hillside location, many of the homes offer panoramic views of parkland, Kanaka Creek, and even Mount Baker,” Kasahara says. Those stunning views are just one piece in the home puzzle. The interiors are built in an open-plan layout, with nine-foot ceilings on the first floor and large kitchen spaces. Bluetree has included convenient workspaces, islands, breakfast bars and pantries, so you have several options for meals, entertaining or food preparation. The engineered stone countertops with a hand-set tile backsplash are perfectly complemented by the shakerstyle cabinets with their brushed nickel hardware. The double basin stainless-steel sink is a masterstroke of convenience, while the stainless-steel appliances lend the true air of a gourmet kitchen to this elegant space. When you’re in need of a little peace and quiet, the master ensuites include separate soaker tubs in some homes, and “his and hers” vanities so you can both get ready in the morning without elbowing your partner for mirror space. “The homes at Kanaka Creek have been designed by our award-winning team with ease and functionality in mind,” says Kashara. “Open floorplans make the main floor level feel spacious and connect living and dining rooms with large decks for seamless indooroutdoor living.” The location was chosen because of its proximity to every amenity a family could ever want, Kasahara says. There are several excellent schools nearby, as well as shopping, parks, restaurants and the West Coast Express commuter rail line. “Kanaka Creek is perfect for young families, first-time buyers and area locals looking to move into a home that better fits their needs,” he says. The grand opening of Kanaka Creek will take place on Saturday, Feb. 25, but some homes have already been snapped up. “Even before we officially launched for sales, visitors to our two decorated show homes have been wowed by the contemporary interior design details and high-quality finishes,” Kasahara says, adding “Buyers have told us that this community ‘sets the bar for new townhomes in Maple Ridge.’”
Future Bluetree communities will include Bishop Creek in Surrey, Mackin Park in Coquitlam, Citadel Heights in Port Coquitlam and Main Street in Vancouver. Integrity is big to the people at Bluetree, and research has shown that the reputation of a homebuilder is an important factor in the home-buying decision. This is particularly true with new homes because they are often sold before they are built, and potential buyers must rely on show homes, features lists and floorplans to make their decision. “As a Bluetree homeowner, you can count on dependable customer service and lasting quality in your home,” says Kasahara. ParkLane is one of Greater Vancouver’s most respected builders, and is responsible for communities such as Heritage Woods in Port Moody and Bedford Landing in Fort Langley. Bluetree will continue this tradition with its own selection of neighbourhoods. “Bluetree’s slogan is ‘your friendly neighbourhood builder,’” says Kasahara. “This reflects our commitment to making the home-buying process easy and enjoyable; from the minute you walk into the Bluetree Store, it’s our goal to make the process relaxed and stress-free.” Homes at Kanaka Creek start at $299,900. For more information about Bluetree Homes and Kanaka Creek, check out www. bluetreehomes.ca or visit the Bluetree Store at 11176 Gilker Hill Road in Maple Ridge. Submitted photos

Potential buyers who have walked through the two fully furnished showhomes at Kanaka Creek have commented on the high-quality finishes and elegant interior design details, general manager of sales and marketing for Bluetree and ParkLane Yosh Kasahara says. It’s hard not to immediately fall in love with the three- and four-bedroom townhomes.

Young Sabres impress Guildford Park places fourth at Fraser Valley championships by Rick Kupchuk CONSIDERING THE youth of the
team, the Guildford Park Sabres figure they got the most from their male wrestlers at last weekend’s Fraser Valley championships in Abbotsford. Paced by a pair of gold medalists, the Sabres placed fourth in the team standings with 50 points, 14 back of third place Maple Ridge and 16 behind runner-up W.J. Mouat. Abbotsford’s Rick Hansen won the team title with 99 points. “We only had one Grade 12, and two Grade 11s,” said Guildford Park coach McRae. “The rest are in Grade 8 and 9, so it looks pretty promising for the future.” Isaac Bernard, the lone Grade 12 on the Guildford Park roster, continued on his path toward a fifth straight B.C. championship by winning in the 63 kg. category. “There was no competition for him,” said McRae. “He knows he’s going to dominate whoever he steps onto a wrestling mat Mark McRae with. He weighed in at 59 kg., but wrestled in the 63 kg. class. He was the strength to compete in the 70 kg. class.” Diego Esparza, a second-year wrestler and a Grade 9 student, was the only other Guildford Park wrestler to place first, doing so in the 48 kg. class. “He has an outside shot at a top six finish at the B.C.’s, which would be very good for him,” said McRae. “He won the Fraser Valleys handily, it wasn’t close. He hasn’t had a great year, but this weekend he was a different wrestler. I hope he can carry it through to provincials.” Other medalists from Guildford Park included Husayn Mouhamed (second in 38 kg.), Stas Kalinowski (third in 45 kg.), Will Thamavong (third in 54 kg.), and Jacob Rainbow (second in 110 kg.). Thamavong impressed his coach with his performance in a very competitive weight class. “He placed behind two B.C. champions,” said McRae. “He was just a little behind in experience, but he does the basics very well.” Gagan Hundal placed fourth in 48 kg. as a Grade 8, faring well competing against older competition.
Devils clinch third by Rick Kupchuk FOUR GAMES remain in the
“We only had one Grade 12, and two Grade 11s.”

Isaac Bernard of Guildford Park Secondary throws Colton Koopmans of Maple Ridge to the mat during a 63 kg. match at the Upper Fraser Valley meet Saturday at W.J. Mouat Secondary in Abbotsford. Bernard placed first. “He was close in each match, but you could tell he wasn’t as experienced as the other wrestlers,” said McRae. “His body position and skill-set is good. He’s a long shot for a top six at provincials, but he could surprise.” ■ Several other wrestlers from Surrey schools earned podium finishes. Local medalists were Jaskarn Ranu (first, 70 kg.) of Lord Tweedsmuir, Dilsahib Nahal (first, 90 kg.) and Daman Bilen (second, 90 kg.) of Princess Margaret), Paul Sahota (first, 110 kg.) and Yosh Phull (second,
70 kg.) of Tamanawis, Aron Mann (first, 110-plus kg.) and Karan Basra (second, 51 kg.) of Enver Creek, Many Kahlon (second, 110 kg.) and Jason Cruz (third, 51 kg.) of Frank Hurt, Billy Sahota (third, 66 kg.) of L.A. Matheson and Jason Nijjar (third, 84 kg.) of Panorama Ridge. ■ The Guildford Park girls team was comprised of just four wrestlers, but their point total was enough to claim the first Fraser Valley female wrestling championship in school history. The Sabres earned 28 points,
four more than both Maple Ridge and Heritage Park. Adrianna Miteva in 51 kg. and Joy Lee in the 54 kg. group both placed first. Tekaenabo Tamuno in the 90 kg. class and Zion Lee in 51 kg. both placed third. ■ Other female medalists from Surrey schools at the Fraser Valley meet were Kandeel Samra (first, 64 kg.) and Anjali Soni (third, 64 kg.) of Queen Elizabeth, Donna Bytyqi (second, 60 kg.) and Maddie Freedman (second, 69 kg.) of Lord Tweedsmuir, and Ami Sidhu (third, 75 kg.) of Frank Hurt.

regular season, and not one means anything to the North Delta Devils. After winning one of two Pacific International Junior Hockey League games last weekend, the Devils have clinched a third place finish in the Tom Shaw Conference, unable to pass the second place Delta Ice Hawks and unable to be caught by the fourth-place North Vancouver Wolf Pack. The Devils defeated the Abbotsford Pilots 2-1 on the road Friday night, despite getting outshot 34-25. Steve Myland made 34 saves in the North Delta goal, lowering his goals against average to 2.79, fifth-best in the league. The Devils trailed 1-0 after one period. Stephen Campbell tied the contest with a powerplay goal six minutes into the second frame, then assisted on Tanner Lenting’s winner two minutes later. North Delta was drubbed 7-1 by the league-leading Richmond Sockeyes Saturday afternoon. Although the Devils were the home team, the game was played at the Richmond Olympic Oval as part of CBC’s Hockey Day in Canada broadcast. Playing just 15 hours after their game in Abbotsford, North Delta couldn’t keep pace with Richmond in a penalty-filled contest. The Sockeyes outshot their guests 42-19, and enjoyed period leads of 3-0 and 7-1. Stefan Burzan notched the lone North Delta goal late in the second period, scoring two minutes after starting goalie Harry Fredeman was chased from the Devils goal with Richmond up 5-0. Surrey native Justin Rai assisted on four Sockeyes goals. Richmond scored three times on eight powerplay opportunities, while the Devils were blanked on six extra-man situations. North Delta was assessed 61 minutes in penalties, to just 39 for the Sockeyes. The Devils will host the Ice Hawks in an all-Delta battle Saturday night at 6:45 p.m. in the Sungod Arena, then play at the Burnaby Winter Club against the Grandview Steelers at 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoon.

Playoff position clinched Kwantlen Eagles women’s team in postseason play by Rick Kupchuk A TWO-POINT loss was as good as a win for the Kwantlen Eagles. The women’s basketball team lost a double-digit lead in the third quarter and went on to lose 64-62 to the Langara Falcons last Thursday night at the Surrey campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University. But the Eagles, 55-46 winners over the Falcons in Vancouver earlier in the season, won the season series on point-differential and clinched the final playoff position in the PacWest league. Kwantlen, with a 6-9 (won-lost) record, is a game better than Langara with one league game remaining for both teams. “We played a full game but lost that (11-point) lead when Langara caught up to us multiple times at the free-throw line,� said Eagles assistant coach Emily Wright. “They went on a 10 – 0 run with seven of those

Samantha McPhail was dominant for the Eagles, leading the team with 14 points and 10 rebounds. Anna Work contributed with 10 points, six rebounds and four steals, while
Cassandra Micona recorded nine points, three assists and three steals. Kwantlen’s men’s team saw its playoff chances all but dashed following a 99-70 loss on home court Thursday against the Falcons. The Eagles are now tied for the final playoff position with Douglas College Royals, each team with 6-9 records. Douglas, however, has won the season series and will face the 1-13 Columbia Bible College Bearcats Saturday. Kwantlen, in need of a win and a Douglas loss to advance to the postseason, hosts the 11-3 University of Northern B.C. Timberwolves tomorrow (Friday) at 8 p.m. Ali Bosir of Surrey was the top scorer for Kwantlen with 19 points, also grabbing 10 rebounds. Jasmin Demirovic chipped in with 13 points, Mark Mitchell added 12 and Surrey’s Aaron Ram scored 10.

Lazarowich honoured by BCHL The British Columbia Hockey League is going to recognize the contributions of its referees and linesmen with two awards named after former BCHL officials. BCHL alumni and current NHL officials Kelly Sutherland of Richmond and North Delta’s Brad Lazarowich have had awards created in their name for the top referee and linesman respectively. It’s an initiative spearheaded by Derek Adams, the league’s director of officiating. “The awards were created to bring some recognition to our on-ice officials in the BCHL who strive to be the best they can be both on and off the ice,� said Adams. “Kelly and Brad got their start in officiating in the BCHL and have gone on to set a very high standard for officials both on and off the ice, but also in giving back to the development of officiating in British Columbia.� The Kelly Sutherland Award winner and the Brad Lazarowich Award winner will each receive $500, of which $250 will be donated to a charity of
choice in the name of the official. The winners will be chosen at the end of the season and the selection process will involve input from Adams, BC Hockey Supervisors and the BCHL board of governors. “The awards are an example of the support the BCHL governors provide to our officials and to our officiating program,� said Adams. “I’d like to thank our governors for this support as well as Kelly and Brad for lending their names to make these awards more meaningful and for providing an example of what an official should strive to accomplish.�

A son’s descent into addict addiction ion A Surrey mom shares the struggle with her son’s years of drug use in hopes of helping other families by Dan Ferguson
E
very night before she goes to sleep, South Surrey resident June ArianoJakes says a prayer for her oldest son Nathan, a drug addict who is no closer to recovery now than he was 20 years ago when he first started using. “Please keep an angel on his shoulder until he finds his own power,” ArianoJakes asks. She estimates she has spent about $460,000 trying to save her son, $14,000 of it on a lawyer, once, and the rest sending Nathan to some of the best addiction treatment centres in Canada and the U.S. without producing a lasting cure. Ariano-Jakes has just published a book that describes her son’s descent into hard-core drug abuse after he survived a near-fatal collision at the age of 13 and discovered he liked how he felt on morphine, Demerol and codeine during his hospital stay. He went on to abuse heroin and cocaine. Ariano-Jakes says she hopes that “Addiction: a mother’s story” will help other families learn from her experience. It took her three years to write and she delayed publishing it another year while she considered the effect on her son. She says when she told Nathan, he didn’t object. “I know it’s a book that needs to go out there, but I don’t want to read it,” her son told her. “I know what’s in there,” he added. It is an unflinching account of a battle for a drug-free life from the point of view of the mother who waged it on behalf of her son. DAN FERGUSON / BLACK PRESS It does not have a happy ending. June Ariano-Jakes spent years and thousands of dollars to help her son get clean. “There are so many books written by professionals, but there isn’t a whole lot written Her new book details her journey and her realization that giving up trying to control the situation did not mean she was abandoning him. by parents (of addicts),” Ariano-Jakes says.

SNORING?
SLEEP APNEA?
Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.
To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there #23 is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing.

Heartburn Reflux
The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 95% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy 7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box. Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from #39 the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different.

20-metre-long public artwork being created for new city hall collaboration and the values of democracy,” says Mayor Dianne Watts. The artwork will be suspended from the roof of the building’s six storey atrium. Within the atrium’s glass walls and skylights, the flock of birds will appear to be flying through the building. At night, a special lighting system will add to the effect of the sculpture’s dynamic movement. Measuring over 20 meters long, and almost as high, this sculpture will be one of the most impressive public artworks in Metro Vancouver.
together. As a way of conveying the brief theme of democracy we have worked with a conceptual analogy of democracy – a flock of birds,” say Nielsen and Knudsen. “This artwork is an outcome of an international call to artists issued by the city leading to portfolio submissions from 158 qualified artists”, said Coun. Judy Villeneuve, chair of the Public Art Advisory Committee. “Our Committee was impressed by the quality of the submissions and look forward to seeing this spectacular sculpture come to life in our new landmark city
The artwork What We Can’t Do Alone, We Can Achieve Together, created by Studio Roso, an international team of artists, should grace the new Surrey city hall by fall 2013. “We hope the artwork reflects the inclusive and welcoming nature of Surrey, and furthers our city as a model for public space design,” says Watts. She adds “many people who have seen the artwork drawings have commented that the image of flying birds is an international symbol of freedom.” Sophie Nielsen and Rolf Knudsen, the Studio Roso lead artists, were inspired by the behaviour of animals, who work collectively to ensure their survival. “Democracy can be interpreted as the power of many. What is hard for a single individual to accomplish can be achieved as a group – the power of numbers. It is also the notion of caring – thinking of your fellow man and standing

hall facility”. Prior to choosing the submission from Studio Roso, the committee shortlisted five artists from Canada, the U.S. and England requesting proposals for the site. The artwork is expected to be fabricated in Canada and will be completed by fall 2013. The city’s public art collection includes 55 projects, located in civic parks and buildings in all of Surrey’s town centres. These artworks have been created in a range of materials from carved stone and bronze sculptures, to interactive sculptures, illuminated overpasses, and collaborative community art projects such as mosaics.

Arts Club Theatre brings the play Circle Mirror Transformation to the Surrey Arts Centre Black Press In small town in Vermont, an unlikely collection of strangers sign up for Marty’s Adult Creative Drama class. There is a recently divorced carpenter, a high school junior, a former actress, and Marty’s husband. With the quirky dialogue and pacing of a charming indie film, the group explores its theatrical side though imaginative (yet awkward) theatre games. But as everyone becomes closer, the seemingly silly games result in real-life drama. Circle Mirror Transformation, on tour from the Arts Club Theatre Company, is at Surrey Arts Centre’s Main Stage from Feb. 21 to March 3, with evening and matinée performances. Written by Annie Baker, the play stars
Cherise Clarke, Alex Diakun, Emilee-Juliette Glyn-Jones, Brian Linds and Donna White. Purchase tickets to the opening night performance (Feb. 21), and arrive early to relax, socialize and enjoy complimentary appetizers at 7 p.m. Patrons who are blind or partially sighted can enjoy an enhanced theatre experience at the March 3 matinée with VocalEye audio description.

Surrey/North Delta Leader 45
Veteran recognized SURREY’S EARL FRASER has received the Minister of Veter-
ans Affairs Commendation. The award is one of 13 given in B.C. recently to people who have performed commendable service to the veteran community or represent commendable role models for their fellow Veterans. Fraser served in the Royal Canadian Navy from 1962 to 1964 and was released due to an injury which cost him nearly all sight in his left eye. He has been a dedicated member of the Royal Canadian Legion since 1964 and is a past-president of Cloverdale Branch #6 and a past zone commander. Several years ago, Fraser undertook a project to have 32 grave markers placed at unmarked graves of First and Second World War veterans in the Surrey Centre Cemetery. The project was completed with a first-ever civic military parade. When the Cloverdale Cenotaph was required to be moved due to highway construction, Fraser was instrumental in raising the funds necessary to have the cenotaph fully restored and for a rededicaEarle Fraser tion ceremony during a Remembrance Day service. Fraser has been his branch’s Service Officer for more than 20 years and works closely with the local Veterans Affairs Canada office to ensure Veterans are receiving appropriate benefits. As chair of his branch’s Sick and Visiting Committee, he can often be found visiting veterans in hospital or at the George Derby Centre. “These individuals have made a real and lasting difference,” said Steven Blaney, Minister of Veterans Affairs. “On behalf of all Canadians, I am proud to acknowledge their extraordinary efforts in helping to provide the care and recognition our veterans and their families deserve. Today we recognize their hard work and selfless commitment.”
One (win) for the road JJM CONSTRUCTION of Delta has won this year’s Deputy
Minister’s Contractor of the Year Award in the grading category for its work on the Alexander Road to 96 Street portion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road project. JJM Construction was recognized for successfully completing the $8.9-million project in a highly sensitive environmental area of the Lower Mainland – Burns Bog and the Fraser River – with minimal impact on the public and traffic.

Surrey RCMP Consts. Nick Morden (left) and Ivan Lai were among 15 members of the District 1 RCMP office who participated in a two-day Sort-A-Thon at the Surrey Food Bank last weekend. Twelve teams competed in 90-minute shifts to see who could sort the most goods – donations collected over the holidays and stored offsite until now. The winner was the BMO team, which sorted just under nine of the 60 skids of food.
Trained to tell the story – with the troops
W
hen she first entered Kwantlen’s Journalism Program in 2009, Surrey’s Hayley Woodin had no idea what she wanted out of her degree, so she decided to try everything. Now in her third year, she’s pinpointed her passion: Conflict-zone reporting. Woodin recently returned from Wainwright, Alta., where she lived on a military base for three weeks, playing the role of a journalist in a Canadian Forces’ large-scale military exercise. While entirely fictional, the scenarios seemed all too real, taking place in more than 600 square kilometers of terrain, complete with half a dozen villages, hundreds of actors, thousands of soldiers, helicopters, tanks, bomb threats, and, of course, the media. Woodin was a part of a newsroom that put together a 12-15 minute news program every night, as well as a newspaper every morning, covering what Canadian troops had done each day “overseas.” The opportunity allowed her to experience life as a journalist working in a conflict zone, as well as what it’s like to be an embedded reporter, living with the troops. “It was a phenomenal experience, unlike anything I’ve ever done,” said Woodin. “It tested me mentally and physically, and I’ve become a better journalist, and better person,
Third-year Kwantlen journalism student Hayley Woodin spent three weeks embedded with Canadian solders in a military exercise in Wainwright, AB. because of that. “And it was so much fun: Flying in helicopters, riding in LAVs (light armoured vehicles). A first-hand look at military operations.” This was her second time taking part in the exercise, which hires journalists through Athabasca University to provide Canadian Forces a way to see how their actions could be portrayed

through the media. “Everything that could potentially happen in an actual conflict zone happens there, and we report on it,” said Woodin. “It’s practical real-world training for us as journalists, but it also trains the troops in media relations. It’s a great learning opportunity for everyone involved.”

PROJECT PARTNERS As a Community Partner of Canadian Youth Business Foundation (CYBF), PICS would be supporting youth entrepreneurs with accessing start up loans from CYBF. This is a character based loan, and based on their credit rating, youth entrepreneurs can get a loan of up to $45,000; and newcomer youth entrepreneurs (with less than five years of residency in Canada) who do not have a credit history can get a loan of up to $15,000 to launch their businesses. Thereafter, having run their business successfully; between 3 to 5 years, they could become eligible for the Expansion Program which provides financing of up to $30,000 so as to be able to expand their business. Students In Free Enterprise (SIFE) from the BCIT chapter are supporting PICS towards delivery of this project. SIFE members at BCIT who are business students/faculty would be supporting youth entrepreneurs from this project in the areas of financial planning, marketing, operations, and creative design on an ongoing basis. For the first batch of participants, workshops would be delivered during the months of March and April 2012 that would cover subjects to include: • Goal setting • SWOT analysis • Budgeting and funding • Marketing • Basic computers • Presentation skills
INFORMATION SESSION
Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich
PROFESSIONAL
Progressive Intercultural Community Services (PICS) Society is launching PICS Youth Entrepreneurship Pilot Project on February 22, 2012. This project aims at helping youth entrepreneurs between the ages of 18 and 34 years to launch their businesses and become self-employed. The participants would be supported during the launch of their businesses by providing pre and post-launch coaching, financing, mentoring and business resources. Thereafter, volunteer mentors would be available to the youth entrepreneurs for a duration of two years. For the first batch of applicants PICS would be able to support 10 to 15 participants. Since available vacancies are limited, these would be filled on a first come – first served basis.
Miss Valentine came within 48 hours of meeting Mr Vancouver at Fraser Downs this past weekend. Maybe it’s just as well. At least the way things happened, the two can stand on their own and be proud of their accomplishments without Cupid getting involved and confusing things. Gramrun Jake, a 6-5 favourite driven by Tim Brown, won the $25,000 Mr Vancouver by five lengths over a sloppy track on Friday night. Then on Sunday it was Village Janus stealing the spotlight when driver Serge Masse held off a furious late rally from Just Fiction (Jim Marino) to win the $25,000 Miss Valentine Stake by a scant nose. When you consider the amount of surface water on the track Friday night, the time for the mile in the Mr Vancouver was 1:54.3 and quite respectful. Limit the Risk (Marino) was a clear second while Hollywood Warrior (Dave Hudon) checked in third. Marino, who had won three times Friday, worked overtime with Just Fiction in Sunday’s Miss Valentine. Village Janus and Just Fiction battled down the home stretch, creating what initially appeared to be a dead heat. So,onward and upward. The Spartacus Claiming series for $9,000 claimers continues Friday night after the first eliminations saw Tre Bien (Marino) and Kg Mattattack (Masse) score victories last week. Eliminations in the BB’s Mirage Claiming Series for $9,000 mares resume this Sunday. First round winners last week included Red Star Brea ($17.40) and Pureform Goodtogo ($10.50) making it three wins in a row. Obviously. there’s plenty of action ahead on the weekend cards at Fraser Downs that start at 7 p.m. Friday and 1:45 p.m. Sunday. See you there. djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC
