Another 5 Surrey residents face riot charges More accused Stanley Cup rioters have been charged from Surrey than any other city by Jeff Nagel EIGHT MORE suspected Stanley Cup rioters have now been charged and five of them are from Surrey. Crown prosecutors have charged 26-year-old Eric Palmer and 18-year-old Chelsea Andrews, both of Surrey, with participating in a riot and break and enter. Andrews is a former Surrey Storm softball player and Douglas College student, according to the rioter-outing website canucksriot2011.com. The site identifies her amidst a crowd looting the Blenz coffee shop in downtown Vancouver. Video posted online shows a jubilant woman in a blue shirt and dark leather jacket hoisting bottles of coffee flavouring syrup. Surrey resident Duncan Yee, 20, is also charged with disguise with intent to commit a crime and break and enter. Samia Ahmed, 18, of Surrey, faces two counts of break and enter and one court of participating BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER in a riot. And Arian Anwari, 18, of Surrey is charged A total of 38 people have so far been charged with 103 offences in with participating in a riot, carrying a weapon (a the June 15 Stanley Cup riot in Vancouver.
baton) for a dangerous purpose and mischief. Others charged with riot-related offences include Sean Yates, 22, of Burnaby; Joshua Pharand, 19, of Chilliwack; and Timothy Lau, 21, of Comox. The announcement means a total of 103 charges have now been laid against 38 accused rioters. More accused rioters have been charged from Surrey than any other city. Vancouver Police have so far asked Crown to prosecute 100 suspected rioters, and prosecutors are still considering charges against dozens of those suspects. Vancouver Police Department officials have said hundreds more requests could still be made. Under the province’s instructions, prosecutors are asking the court to televise the upcoming trials of Stanley Cup rioters. Rioters torched police cars and other vehicles and looted stores in downtown Vancouver June 15 after the Boston Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup final. jnagel@surreyleader.com
SFU grad lands $270K (US) award Former Queen Elizabeth Secondary student has racked up more than $450,000 in grant funding Black Press A LOVE of how basic building blocks can create complex molecular structures
has landed Surrey-raised Bal Kang, a Simon Fraser University chemistry graduate student, a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship worth more than $270,000 (US). The prestigious research award, part of the Marie Curie Actions Program of the European Commission, allows postdoctoral fellows to carry out advanced research training at a world-leading research institution. Kang will spend the next two years at the University of Oxford further developing his methods to create pharmaceutically relevant compounds. “Organic chemistry is a challenging field. You are always in the search for the perfect reaction or route, trying to find the best strategy to solve each puzzle,” says Kang, a graduate of Queen Elizabeth Secondary School. “In the case of developing potential drug molecules, the goal is to maximize the efficiency of the chemical processes.” The first graduate student to work in SFU professor Rob Britton’s research lab, Kang has already devised a new method to sythesize natural products – one aimed at protecting crops and fighting disease in humans. “In the Britton lab I developed a new method that allowed for the synthesis of a variety of insect sex pheromones, which have applications useful in crop protecBal Kang tion,” he explains. “These methods also allowed for the generation of many natural products that exhibit potent biological activities against many diseases, including breast, lung and colon cancers, leukemia and anti-parasitic and anti-fungal diseases.” Kang arrived in the Britton’s lab after completing his bachelor’s degree in science at UBC and working at a pair of pharmaceutical companies, Cardiome and ActivePass Pharmaceuticals. While at Cardiome his work on the process development of Vernakalent, an anti-arrhythmia drug, led to its commercialization. The award brings Kang’s grant and award funds to nearly half-a-million dollars (just over $450,000) while at SFU. He was awarded the NSERC CGS-D Alexander Graham Bell Scholarship, the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Senior Fellowship, an SFU Graduate Fellowship and an SFU President’s Research Stipend, allowing him to participate in numerous international conferences. At Oxford, he’ll be looking to discover new chemical transformations that allow complex molecular “scaffolds” to be constructed. “My long-term goal is to come back to Canada to apply the new skills learned to transfer knowledge into a new generation of scientists,” he says. Kang is putting the final touches on his thesis and plans to graduate in June before heading for Oxford in July.
“My long-term goal is to come back to Canada to apply the new skills learned... into a new generation of scientists.”

From page 1 “The City of Surrey is concerned about the number of gun crimes being committed in communities across the country,” Watts said in letters to federal Minister of Justice and Attorney General Rob Nicholson and Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews. “I am requesting the federal government toughen sentences for gun crimes and increase mandatory sentences for the illegal possession of a firearm.” The call for tougher penalties came after a 22-year-old man was

shot while walking along a path in the 9300 block of 138 Street on Monday night (Jan. 23). The man was found face down in a public walkway about a block from Surrey Memorial Hospital. He had sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The victim spent Tuesday in surgery and is in stable condition, but police say he will have permanent mobility problems. Police say although they do not believe the attack is connected with gangs, the victim is known to police for drug and minor assault incidents, and the victim
and attacker are acquaintances. Police are looking for a Caucasian male about 6’ wearing a ball cap. Simon Fraser University criminologist and policing expert Rob Gordon said Watts’ call for a crackdown on firearms is a familiar political refrain – popular with voters, but ineffective public policy. “That’s all nice and it would be good if it worked, but it won’t,” Gordon said. “What you’ve got to do is get at the underlying issue – the drug trade – or tolerate the shootings,” Gordon said. “It’s one or the other.” Upon closer investigation, Gordon believes police will find a large portion of the shootings in the last month have had some drug involvement – either directly or indirectly. Often shootings, even when not linked to selling drugs, are drug-fuelled or motivated by the need for drugs, he said. The fact that people are shooting one other, rather than stabbing or beating each other (although there was one beating fatality and one severe aggravated assault during the last month) has to do with the availability of firearms, Gordon noted. Part of the traditional drug swap in between U.S. and Canada sees “B.C. Bud” heading south, and guns and cocaine coming north. “Carrying a (firearm) can be a status symbol among some individuals, or groups of individuals,” Gordon said. He said brave policy changes need to be implemented in order to get guns out of people’s hands. And for Gordon, that means ending the already lost war on drugs. “It’s widely recognized now that prohibition of any kind of widely sought after and widely used prohibited substance is just simply a cause of crime,” Gordon said. He believes adults should be allowed access to marijuana, while the substance is taxed and regulated, similar to alcohol and tobacco. It’s estimated that in B.C., the export of marijuana is a $6-billiona-year industry. Watts noted that her call for harsher sentences is one piece of a much larger plan. In 2007, Watts unveiled a comprehensive Crime Reduction Strategy (CRS), which includes ways to address crime in Surey, including prevention, apprehension, rehabilitation and addressing perception/
fear of criminal acts. The CRS calls for closed circuit TV cameras, community courts, and a sobering centre. Senior governments have been slow to financially support the latter two.
“That’s all nice and it would be good if it worked, but it won’t.” Rob Gordon “I would have to say this, the wheels of government are extraordinarily slow, which for me, I find frustrating,” Watts said. Both Watts and Gordon agree that until something is done about illicit drugs, the gunplay will persist. Watts said legalization of drugs is an age-old argument that won’t solve the problem. If pot was legalized, gangsters would quickly move into other markets, like methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine and ecstasy. Watts said prevention and education will be key in tackling both guns and drugs, and that must involve government, schools and parents.
A month of gunfire • Dec. 24 – Bradley McPherson, 28, is shot and killed at a Christmas Eve party in the 13100 block of 67A Avenue. • Dec. 25 – 27-year-old Alok Gupta is shot and killed while covering a shift at Ken’s Grocery at 11779 96 Ave. • Dec. 26 – a 54-yearold woman is shot in the chest in an apartment in the 13300 block of King George Boulevard in Whalley. It is non-fatal. • Dec. 27 – Surrey’s Apollo-Lyn Simpson, 28, is found dead on his front lawn in the 9500 block of 125 Street. • Jan. 3 – A man in Panorama Ridge is shot and seriously injured in what is believed to be a dispute over theft of alcohol. • Jan. 4 – A man was shot in the leg and dumped in South Surrey. • Jan. 19 – Two men are shot in the 13900 block of 56 Avenue in Panorama Ridge. The shooting is deemed by police as gang related. • Jan. 23 – A 22-yearold is shot multiple times on a walking path near 93 Avenue and 138 Street. He is taken to hospital and survives.

SURREY COUNCIL BRIEFS
JANUARY CLEARANCE % Save up to
Home tax bill to rise about $100 this year
by Kevin Diakiw
SURREY HAS GIVEN approval
to a budget calling for a $100 increase on this year’s tax bill. Council passed the 2012 budget and five-year plan Monday, paving the way for an increase in property taxes by 2.9 per cent this year ($39 on the average home worth $616,000), as well as a one-per-cent road levy ($13.50). Water increases of $16 and $18 for sewer services, along with the $15 hike in garbage fees, were also approved. It means the total tax bill for the average home will go from $2,421 to $2,522. Of that, $1,400 is solely property tax, with the remainder being made up of utilities and other fees. Surrey is also planning to increase its secondary suite fee from $240 to $247. Surrey will hire 10 more police officers beginning in October, eight new firefighters and a bylaw officer. The city is also budgeting $85,000 to hire an “energy manager,” a newly created position to coordinate several
energy-efficient initiatives, known as ENERGYShift. In total, Surrey is looking at adding almost $18 million to its operating expenditures. On the capital spending side, Surrey is planning $84.5 million in projects next year. They include: City hall construction in City Centre for $31 million this year (and another $20 million in 2013); Guildford swimming pool ($16 million to launch the $40 million project); Grandview Heights pool ($14.8 million); and a community plaza by the new city hall ($6 million). Various parks and recreation projects make up the difference.
Surrey urges Victoria to make smart meters optional SURREY HAS voted to allow its
residents to choose whether they will get smart meters or not. The motion came forward at Monday’s council meeting after several groups had asked that Surrey take a position on it.
The Union of B.C. Municipalities has already passed a motion calling for a moratorium on the mandatory installation of smart meters, and Surrey indicated its support there, but city council was under pressure to take a position locally. A number of groups have emailed councillors and appeared before council asking for the city to take a position. Coun. Judy Villeneuve brought forward a motion on Monday night for council to support the notion that smart meters should be optional. “We felt those residents needed to have a choice, they’ve made presentations before council,” Villeneuve said Tuesday. “We didn’t want them to feel we’re ignoring them.” She acknowledges that its a provincial decision, and at best, Surrey council will have sway. “We can play an advocacy role,” she said. The province has already said it will forge ahead with the mandatory installation of the controversial meters.

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:
Do you think B.C. teachers’ wage demand for a 16-percent increase over three years is reasonable? Here’s how you responded: Yes 88% No 12% MLA ON WELFARE
Jagrup Brar is keeping it real
J
agrup Brar isn’t the same man he was a few weeks ago, and it’s not just because he’s lost weight. I’ll admit I was among the first to believe the Surrey MLA’s acceptance of the Welfare Challenge from Vancouver anti-poverty group Raise the Rates was little more than political theatre. My assumption: A politician could easily live on welfare for $610 a month while guided by NDP handlers. It would be a farce of choreographed speeches about poverty in Surrey and Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, all in front of doting media cameras. After all, Brar has a cellphone, access to his family (he’s allowed one day at home each week) and theoretically has reporters at his beck and call. It would be at worst a working sabbatical, right? A 90-minute visit with Brar at the epicentre of the Downtown Eastside on the weekend (near Main and Hastings Streets) quashed all of my presumptions. Just parking in front of the building at night where Brar is staying is intimidating, with three people lurking in the shadows out front. Why aren’t they moving along? There is no buzzer, so he must be phoned to open the front door. You almost get used to the smell of the place (a nauseating combo of mustiness and human waste) by the time you Boaz get to the third floor, where browncoloured stains mottle the ceiling tiles right above where Brar unlocks his door. A single bare bulb illuminates the 121 square feet where he’ll stay for the last two weeks of January. (The bulb is not dangling from a wire, defying cliché). With the fridge broken – and who ever heard of a kitchen sink and fridge underneath it combined as one appliance? – Brar must chill his perishables on the window sill. That experiment wouldn’t work in June. He hasn’t eaten meat in days as he’s down to a few dollars. He relies on starchy cereal, oatmeal and noodles. Across from Brar’s bed (two mattresses, no legs) is

a “kitchen” table too short for his frame. Bathroom and shower? That one room is shared by 11 units at the end of the hallway. Brar must rise at 4:30 a.m. to wash, otherwise it’s a crapshoot as to who gets in first. Speaking of crap, Brar says if you drop anything on the bathroom floor, consider it gone forever. (If the tired mop leaning on the bathroom wall could tell stories, I wouldn’t want to hear them). Outside, Brar seems rather composed, having grown somewhat accustomed to the locals that people in other communities prefer to forget about. He’s been walking the streets here daily since he moved in. While a visitor might prefer to ignore the sad souls on an East Hastings sidewalk, or not even make eye contact if they say hello or ask for something, Brar responds to each of them – and afterwards explains why. It’s respect. At the core of it, these are people – regardless of how they got to this point in their lives. Poverty, drugs, alcohol, poor health... it doesn’t matter. He’s seen the care that locals have for each other. Without knowing who he is (they almost never do), they’ve been kind to him, and have suggested nearby places to get free food. The meal issue has been a constant Joseph struggle, and will remain so for the Surrey MLA after I head for home. Brar will continue to live downtown for a few more days, alone, hungry and uncomfortable. He confides to me that if he had to stay there for another two or three months, he’d lose it. He also shares he abandoned the luxury of visiting his home for the entire month. Kudos for trying to keep it real. Next month, he’ll have another challenge: Convincing colleagues back in the legislature that his brush with poverty left a powerful impression, and that the obstacles faced by the poorest of the poor are real. Brar may have been away from work for a month, but it was no vacation. bjoseph@surreyleader.com

program on the move?” I currently have one child attending Discovery, but my older child also attended from Grade 4 until he graduated to high school. I firmly believe in the Discovery model of education – that is, one that values personalized learning and creating a life-long love of learning it its students. Despite the school officials’ insistence this is a move of a program and not a closure, the reality is the Discovery program is under threat of complete disbandment should this move come to fruition. The fact is, should the Discovery program be moved from its current location, a significant percentage of students who now attend will likely not come with us as the commute will not be agreeable or possible for many of the parents and guardians. Anyone interested in Discovery Elementary School should call or visit to find out more, and anyone who can help us in our campaign to try and prevent its closure and the program’s subsequent move should look Discovery up on Facebook.
Delta Leader the question of the week asked if B.C. teachers’ wage demand (of 16 per cent over three years) was reasonable. This wage would put B.C. teachers several thousand dollars per year behind other teachers in Canada, so what is being asked for, in essence, is less than parity with their equal counterparts. Education Minister George Abbott has pointed out that other unions have settled for less; however, what he isn’t saying is that there isn’t a disparity of 20 per cent between those union workers and those doing like jobs with
similar qualifications elsewhere. It is interesting that the politicians, Abbott included, took between a 30- to 50-per-cent increase in recent years based on what they claim to be parity with other politicians in similar positions in Canada, yet he claims that what the teachers’ are asking for is unreasonable even though it is less than parity. Other professionals in B.C. have not been held to the odious “net zero mandate,” so why should our educators be? Remember, this government artificially created a deficit by setting a corporate tax rate below that of other jurisdictions.
A young letter writer believes money could be better spent than on video games that glorify violence and bloodshed.
I’M SURE all of you have heard of the video games Call of Duty: Black Ops and Halo. These are often called shooting games. These games are where you play against a team and try to protect yourself. The whole objective of these games is to kill the people on the other team. Most boys from young ages start to play these games. When starting so young, you start to get addicted. Girls rarely play violent video games because most girls don’t like violent things and bloodshed. Another thing that is not good about these video games is that they cost a lot. In a year the average amount of video games you would buy is five. One video game is about $60. That means you’re spending $300 on video games each year. You could donate all that money to hospitals and charities. How many times will you even use those games? You’ll beat it and then just put it away. Also, there are so many gaming devices that you buy one, and then another kind comes out that you think is better. Then you buy the new one and throw away the old one, or sell it. This means you throw away the games too. I mean what a waste of money. Sure you can play them once in a while, but not too much. So the next time you buy your kids a game or you buy one yourself, think about it first.

Elementary and both he and us are perfectly satisfied with the program. Even though we live about 10-11 kilometres away from the school, we were determined our son studies at Discovery due to its Adlerian principles of respect, responsibility and resourcefulness. Moving the program essentially means “school closure” as the move will result in fewer parents opting for the program at the two alternative schools. The Surrey School Board needs to be empathetic with the parents and children of Discovery Elementary and come up with some other alternative, such as keeping the program at its present site and maybe partially using the space for the proposed learning centre, or finding a new smaller place on its own for Discovery Elementary. I hope the board does the right thing.
The public should also be aware of the fact that teachers have not had any improvements to their benefit package in over 18 years. It is not unreasonable for professionals to expect to be paid a fair wage; what they are asking for is really less than a fair wage and they are being more than reasonable with what is being asked for. It is time the politicians stopped undervaluing those that have such an important job in our society and support their expectation of a fair wage.
Letter writer’s rabbit plan draws ire I WAS absolutely disgusted after
reading John Enns letter (“Save money, cull those critters,” Jan. 19, The Leader). He questions whether our society regards animals as important or more important than humans because Delta wants to spend $60,000 to relocate rabbits. First of all, we are all animals and we all share this Earth but unfortunately humans have already damaged most of the Earth. Maybe John needs to take a look around and see how human interference has ruined most animal habitats. In Surrey and Delta alone there is so much development, there is no place for these critters to go. John’s solution is to shoot them because they are a nuisance and are not an endangered species. Well, if we take that approach, they soon will be an endangered species. In order to avoid this problem
in future, people need to research before buying a pet and parents need to make sure this is the right pet for their children, rather than realizing it after and setting it free where it does not belong. I think relocating the animals is a great idea; at least these cute and furry critters will be happy, safe and also will not interfere with human existence. John, do me a favour and go play the video game “Duck Hunt” if you really feel like shooting. Monisha Jassi
Our duty is to protect the vulnerable I HAVE never read a more infuriating
letter. The fact that letter writer John Enns thinks it’s okay to kill defense-
less rabbits is atrocious on its own, but to hear that he would expect to be paid $5 per rabbit is disgusting. I’ve never understood people who can look an animal in the face, kill it, and feel no remorse. It would not be okay to kill an overpopulation of puppies, but for some reason because it’s a rabbit it doesn’t matter? Because we are human it is our duty to protect those who cannot protect themselves. It is our duty to take care of the world around us in every way – the environment and the critters who inhabit it. It is not the rabbit’s fault there are too many of them, so why should they have to suffer the consequences? It makes me very sad to know there are people out there with a mind-set like John’s. How about you take the $5 per rabbit you had expected to be paid
and go buy food to donate to a food bank. Put your time to better use. D. Mahussier, Surrey
Who wants to eat a stray pet? I WROTE this after I picked my jaw off the floor. Cull rabbits because of peoples stupidity? Feed stray rabbits to poor people? Who wants to eat a stray pet? How about shooting the morons who drop their pets off to wildly reproduce? Is an animal’s life worth more than a person’s? It definitely is when they have been born out of human irresponsibility. Animals are capable of great emotions and they deserve a lot more from our society. S. Thompson

Asbestos violator jailed for two months Defying order – and endangering workers – nets rare prison term for contempt of court by Jeff Nagel A NOTORIOUS Surrey-
“Some of them will come down with cancer.” Lee Loftus B.C. Supreme Court Justice Richard Goepel emphasized the need to protect the public and deter other potential violators in handing down the 60-day sentence. “You deliberately flaunted for an extended time a court order intended to protect worker safety,” Goepel told Moore. “You did so within a day of being served with the order. Such conduct cannot go unpunished.” Moore, who arrived in court late and had failed to show up at several previous appearances, was led away by sheriffs. Nielsen said jail time for civil contempt is highly unusual and reflects the seriousness of Moore’s conduct, calling it a positive step for workers’ safety. “I think the 60 days is a good deterrent,” he said. “I think it will deter other bad

years, accounting for 44 per cent of all workrelated deaths. jnagel@surreyleader.com

based contractor has been jailed for two months for contempt of court after repeatedly exposing dozens of unprotected workers – who included teenage girls and recovering addicts – to asbestos contamination. WorkSafeBC lawyer Scott Nielsen had asked for a six- to 12-month jail term for Arthur Moore, who repeatedly defied workplace safety orders and continued operating his asbestos and drywall removal business in violation of an August 2010 court injunction.
actors as well. As an employer, you don’t want to go to jail.” Moore operated as AM Environmental at many job sites across Metro Vancouver and into the Fraser Valley, and later changed business names in an attempt to skirt the injunction. He quoted low rates to demolish old houses – a fraction of the price charged by competitors who take required safety precautions when dealing with asbestos. Moore claimed to test buildings to certify them asbestos-free before demolition. But the hazardous material reports he produced were forged, using letterhead stolen from legitimate labs, to hide the danger on his jobs. He recruited young students, some as young as 14, as well as recovering addicts from drug recovery houses in Surrey. Some had told the court they were instructed to “run” if WorkSafeBC officers showed up. Lee Loftus, president of the B.C. and Yukon Building and Construction Trades Council, said he’s disappointed with the sentence. “For someone to get 60 days for putting people at risk like this is just despicable and criminal,” he said. Employees who Moore sent to demolish asbestos-contaminated homes without proper protective gear will be at serious risk of contracting diseases decades from now, Loftus said. “Here’s an employer who put workers and teenagers at risk of serious industrial disease,” he said. “Some of them will come down with cancer. Some will get fibrosis, a thickening of the lungs.” Loftus applauded WorkSafeBC for stepping up enforcement and inspections of

after having done time in prison for two apparently unrelated murders. Elton stabbed another inmate to death when he was in jail in the mid-1970s and was free on parole after serving his minimum mandatory sentence. Turcan had also served her mandatory minimum sentence after being convicted for the 1987 slaying of a woman in Burnaby. Both Elton and Turcan were, at one time, activists who campaigned for reform of the prison system. An online video on workingtv.com shows the pair speaking at a 2004 public memorial for people who have died in jail. Elton’s next court appearance to set a date for sentencing is Feb. 16. His conviction carries an automatic life sentence of 25 years, but a judge will decide how long he’ll have to wait before being allowed to apply for parole. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

Failing regionalization, “The best solution Rossmo said there need is the formation of a to be formal procedures Vancouver metropolitan for investigations that police force,” he told cross police jurisdictions,
to prevent any one force from “washing their hands of the problem.” In the case of Pickton, he said, the VPD were wrong to hand off their investigation of “a very good suspect” to the Coquitlam RCMP. Rossmo also suggested the creation of a provincial missing persons database to track disappearances and trends. He also said the risks are so great to society that more money should be spent investigating disappearances even if many are false alarms. The inquiry aims to determine why police failed to catch Pickton much sooner. Oppal told the inquiry Tuesday his final report, due in June, will look at systemic failures of police forces in the Pickton case, including interjurisdictional difficulties between different forces. Rossmo, a celebrated criminal profiler, also recounted how his
VPD superiors refused to accept his theory that a serial killer was
stalking women in the Downtown Eastside and nixed his planned release

Rossmo said he’s seen many similar cases of police in other jurisdictions being “in denial” about evidence of a local serial killer. “No police agency wants a serial murder case,” Rossmo said. A serial killer case creates public fear, media attention and political pressure, he said, adding it requires police to respond with a suitable level of resources. Rossmo reported his conclusions to VPD superiors after analyzing the number of missing persons reports from the Downtown Eastside and finding a “dramatic” jump had started in 1995. VPD Insp. Fred Biddlecombe blocked Rossmo’s proposed public warning. Rossmo, now a professor at a Texas university, said he believes Biddlecombe honestly – if wrongly – believed no serial killer was at

handling of the Pickton file and criticized both the RCMP and VPD for a series of errors. Although Mounties should have tried to search the Pickton farm when the serial killer invited them to in 1999, Evans said it’s a big stretch to assume police would have found the evidence they needed to stop his killing spree. She agreed under cross-examination that it was a mistake when a Coquitlam RCMP officer opted not to take up Pickton’s offer to search the property, which could have yielded crucial evidence tying him to the missing women. “We’ll never know because she never tried to get the consent,” Evans told the inquiry. “She never pursued that.” But Evans noted investigators would have had to get not just Pickton’s written consent to search the farm, but also any coowners of the property, such as his brother Dave. She also noted that once the consensual search started, Pickton or another owner could terminate it at any point. Since police would have to be transparent about their aims and set a time for the search, Evans added, they would not have the element of surprise they often do with an unexpected warrant search, and evidence could be moved or cleaned. Police had received multiple tips in 1998 and 1999 that Pickton might be responsible for the vanishing sex trade workers. And in 1997 a woman escaped from the property after a bloody knife fight with Pickton. Charges of attempted murder against Pickton were later dropped. It took until early 2002, when a rookie officer decided to search the farm for illegal guns, that police found evidence of missing women and arrested Pickton. Evans also interviewed Pickton in prison last summer as part of her investigation on behalf of the commission. Pickton maintained his innocence, saying he did nothing wrong. Pickton is serving a life sentence after being convicted in 2007 on six counts of second-degree murder. Charges in 20 other cases never went to trial and he was linked to the DNA of still more victims for whom no charges were ever laid. Pickton had claimed to undercover police he killed 49 women. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Five-year wait for trial unacceptable, court rules by Jeff Nagel THE B.C. COURT of Appeal has
upheld a lower court decision to drop the charges against two accused cocaine traffickers because B.C.’s congested court system couldn’t try them fast enough. The prosecution of the two men was quashed in June of 2009 when the trial judge ruled the expected 62.5-month delay in the case getting to trial by the end of that year would be unreasonable. The two men were stopped in September of 2004 in a car near Chilliwack where police opened a hidden compartment and
found 20 kilograms of cocaine the suspects were accused of buying from suppliers in Burnaby. The pair were part of what police said was a larger conspiracy to import the drug from the U.S. and transport it to Ontario. The Crown had appealed the trial judge’s decision to quash the case, arguing in part that more of the delay should be attributed to the defence. The three Appeal Court justices concluded that while defence under-estimated how much time would be needed to challenge the Crown’s wiretap evidence, the delays were “significantly compounded” by a lack
of court resources. “The leading motif running throughout the discussions is not the unavailability of counsel, but rather the inability of the court to find any time, let alone blocks of time beyond two-week segments, to carry on with the trial,” they said in the Jan. 10 decision. “On every occasion when more time was required, the case was adjourned for at least a year before any time to continue it could be found.” The Appeal Court also concluded that efforts to reduce the Provincial Court criminal case backlog were insufficient.

by Sheila Reynolds A PROPOSAL to relocate
Surrey’s longstanding Discovery School program to a different school will be discussed a public meeting next week. The “choice” program has been housed in its own school near 109 Avenue and 131 Street for years. However, with just 57 students now attending a school with the capacity for nearly 200, the school district says it must look at alternatives. Not only must the declining enrolment be addressed, but it must be ensured “existing school and classroom spaces are used as efficiently as possible,” reads a notice from the district, adding there are also “considerable” other costs such as

The intent is not to close the program, the district emphasizes, but relocate it to another elementary school, where it would run alongside an existing community school program. However, some parents (see Letters, page 7) argue moving is akin to closing the school because many students won’t want to change locations.

Ministry signs off on Surrey school funds Officials finally receive the $12.8-million go-ahead to build new Sunnyside Elementary by Alex Browne A LONG-AWAITED new Sunnyside Elementary in South Surrey, valued at more than $12.8 million, was given the go-ahead last week by Victoria. Surrey School District is breathing a collective sigh of relief, Surrey Board of Education Chair Laurae McNally said. But staff know the pressure is now on to build the new school as soon as possible, she added, confirming the soonest it can come on stream, realistically, is in September of 2013. The new elementary, to be built
at 2828 159 St., will replace the current facility at 15250 28 Ave. According to a Ministry of Education statement, it will place the school closer to the heart of the fast-growing Grandview Heights area, providing 100 more elementary spaces, and 80 additional full-day kindergarten spaces, plus a Neighborhood Learning Centre and Montessori school components. The rebuild of Sunnyside Elementary has been on hold for more than five years since it was originally green-lighted in the 2005-2006 school year, McNally said.

The first setback came when the Ministry of Education informed the district of the learning centre requirement. Subsequent years of waiting were followed, last year, by an unexpected order for new designs to be drawn up. The current green light, which came Jan. 18, finally answers what has been a nagging question for both parents and school administrators, McNally said. “And most of the nagging has come from me,” she noted, adding she had been routinely asking staff if they had heard anything from Victoria on the project. “Those parents, and that com-
munity, have been incredibly patient through all of this.” The replacement Sunnyside Elementary – like any new school development in the district – is “long overdue,” McNally said. According to school district figures, Surrey’s student population has grown by 60 per cent in the elementary grades and 40 per cent in the secondary grades in the last year alone. “When the premier came out to Surrey and made the big announcement about additional school funding – that was four months ago,” McNally said. “In that time, the population of

Surrey has grown by 1,000 residents a month – and 30 per cent of those are under the age of 19. “Some may not be school age and others would be going to various private schools, but it gives you some idea of the way things are going.” McNally said staff are currently tidying up odds and ends of the Sunnyside project, and preparing invitations to tender to go out to business journals. “The site is cleared and all the preliminary work has already been done. We’ve done this so many times we can move fast on it – the red tape is all over the other side of the water.”

Waste-burning strategy to take shape Metro debate on turning garbage into energy to resume by Jeff Nagel KEY DECISIONS will
soon be made by Metro Vancouver politicians on how the region will try to build modern incinerators or other
waste-to-energy plants. New Metro board chair Greg Moore predicts there will be intense interest from international companies that want to partner with the
region to showcase the evolving technologies to convert garbage into energy. “I think we’ll all be surprised by the number of companies that will put their names

think incinerating the waste problem away will take pressure off the region to reduce the garbage generated and put what remains to better use. Moore, the Port Coquitlam mayor who stickhandled Metro’s solid waste plan to approval with Victoria, said the project has been on hold through the civic elections, but he expects debate to begin in earnest soon. The region already has one incinerator in south Burnaby that burns nearly 300,000 tonnes a year, but it wants additional wasteto-energy capacity to handle another 500,000 tonnes of garbage so it can stop trucking that amount east to the Cache Creek regional
landfill. Moore hopes most of the key issues can be settled by the end of March, paving the way for a call for private partners to step forward later this year and a formal bid call after that. Rather than an open call for bids to handle all 500,000 tonnes, Moore expects Metro may carve some out – perhaps 100,000 tonnes – that would be reserved for emerging technologies that claim to gassify or use other processes other than combustion to convert garbage with almost no emissions. Metro’s greenestminded civic leaders have been pushing hard to give a leg up to those options, because a wide open call would likely

forward,” Moore said. Landing Metro Vancouver as a client would be a coup for any successful bidder because the region’s reputation for green leadership may encourage other jurisdictions to break with the North American pattern of landfilling waste. Metro wants to build new in-region wasteto-energy plants and last summer secured the province’s approval of its solid waste management plant to proceed. But the initiative remains contentious, particularly among Fraser Valley residents who fear increased air pollution from burning garbage, as well as recycling advocates who

be won by proposals for conventional incineration, which is low-cost and established. “There’s a general understanding that the emerging technology isn’t scalable to the size we need yet,” Moore said. “But it’s showing promising results in some parts of the world. We need to ensure they can bid on a proper playing field. Otherwise they just won’t be able to compete.” Moore also noted Metro may have need for more waste-toenergy capacity after the initial plants are built. The flow of garbage going to the Vancouver Landfill in Delta – now around 500,000 tonnes – is supposed to be gradually cut down to less than 100,000 tonnes a year by 2020 as waste reduction and recycling strategies improve. Moore said that may leave Metro requiring more waste-to-energy capacity at that time, which potentially could be procured by alternative technologies if the initial phase of construction goes well. Also to be decided is whether Metro would own new plants – it owns the Burnaby incinerator but contracts out operation – or if they would be financed, built and owned by a private firm that would charge Metro a per tonne disposal fees. If the latter, Metro would have to commit to a long-term garbage supply contract. Nor is it clear yet exactly where the new incinerators might be built, although sites in See SURREY / Page 19

New Westminster and on Tsawwassen First Nation land have been raised publicly in the past, and some Surrey politicians are keen to host a waste-to-energy plant in their city. An alternate location is a former pulp mill on the northwest coast of Vancouver Island, where Covanta Energy wants to build an incinerator that could take Metro waste. That could be the ultimate choice to address Fraser Valley concerns, but it may be more costly for Metro because of the need to barge waste there. Metro argues inregion sites hold better potential to connect to a district heating network that could increase the amount of money earned from energy sales. Also on the to-do list is creating a working group to try address the Valley’s concerns over health risks from pollution.

That work will look not just at air emissions that can waft east to the Valley but also the potential for local exposure to toxins near any proposed
“We need to start that process and try to find some common ground,” Moore said. “We have 12 months to figure it out together.” If the two regional districts are still at loggerheads over incineration, he noted, the provincial environment ministry will act as arbitrator. Part of the process will include public
waste-fired plant. Metro’s waste plan does not solely focus on waste-to-energy solutions. It also calls for recycling rates to rise from 55 per cent now to 70 per cent in 2015 and 80 per cent by 2020, with much of the gains to come by collecting organic waste for use as compost or biofuel.

Southbound 152 Street exit switches sides Drivers must use left lane to get into Surrey, for now Black Press IT’S A BIG CHANGE for drivers who take the first exit eastbound off the Port Mann Bridge into Surrey. The right-hand exit lane has been blocked off and vehicles looking for the off-ramp into Surrey must now get into the left lane to cross over the 152 Street overpass instead. “This is only a temporary change,” said Max Logan of the TI Corp. “We need to rebuild the eastbound exit.” The change has meant some last-minute lane changes by eastbound drivers and motorists are being urged to exercise caution.
Shifting the exit to the left will make room for crews to work for the next six to eight months to reconstruct the southbound exit. Road lines were repainted, barriers were moved and new signs went up Sunday indicating the change. The $3.3-billion Highway 1 improvement project includes the construction of the new tolled Port Mann Bridge as well as the widening of the freeway to 10 lanes from Vancouver’s McGill interchange to 216 Street in Langley. Thirty interchanges and overpasses are being upgraded, replaced or added along the route. newsroom@surreyleader.com
Coastal ferry fares at ‘tipping point’ of rising by Tom Fletcher BC FERRIES has reached
a “tipping point” of rising fares and declining ridership, and should cut costs or add more subsidy to keep future fare increases to the rate of inflation, BC Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee says. Macatee began his term last year with a full-scale review of the ferry system, and delivered a report with 24 recommendations to the B.C. government on
Tuesday. He says the government should consider increasing subsidies, reducing sailings on low-ridership routes and making reservations free so BC Ferries can plan its sailing capacity more accurately. Macatee proposes that BC Ferries reverse its reservation system so people without a reserved spot would pay an extra fee. That, along with varying rates to induce people to travel during
off-peak times, could reduce the empty seats and car deck spaces, the report says. BC Ferries has a lower resident fare for northern routes and discount “experience cards” on minor routes. “A true yield management system will consist of a range of fares, reflecting demand levels, an therefore the ferry user has a choice between fare level and service convenience,” the report says. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Lower Mainland consumers more design-savvy
Housing market looks forward to 2012 The new year brings with it new expectations and new trends. This is true in the housing market as well, and Cristy Edmonds, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for Fifth Avenue Marketing, has a few ideas in mind for 2012. “It will be a good, steady year,” she says. “It’s been a busy January already.” With mortgage rates at a historical low, there is still a steady supply of people moving into Greater Vancouver. “We have the benefit of the international market,” Edmonds says. Buyers from all over the world are eager to purchase a home in the Lower Mainland, but one big change that Edmonds expects to see is more end users purchasing property, instead of the speculative buyers that have historically owned homes.
She also expects to see some amazing developments going on sale this year. “You’ll see smarter, more experienced developers bringing projects to market,” she says, adding that because buyers are more design-savvy than before, they won’t accept inferior design. “This is a very sophisticated real estate market. A lot of developers have done a really good job and raised the bar.” Compared to other markets in Canada, Vancouver buyers are looking for something much more high end. “In Calgary you still get lower-end products like (linoleum) flooring, while Vancouver is more sophisticated, with granite and hardwood,” Edmonds says. “Design shows (on television) have contributed to this. They want the best of the best.”
‘You’d be really hard-pressed to find these standard features’
Stunning views and beautiful homes at Westridge Living by Kerry Vital
Listraor is continuing its reputation for excellence with its newest development, Westridge Living in Burnaby. While the Listraor name is drawing people in, buyers are staying for the beautiful homes on offer. “You’d be really hard-pressed to find these standard features,” says sales manager Ryan Lalonde. “Listraor is offering a level of detail that’s not traditionally offered.” Westridge is chock-full of amazing features, from deep soaker tubs in the master ensuite to gourmet kitchens built in an open plan design that include stone-slab countertops, stainless-steel appliances and custom cabinetry. The main living areas are perfect for entertaining, with hardwood flooring and even a space for your flat-screen television. In a masterstroke of convenience, a washer and dryer are included in every home. Ranging from 1,031 to 1,107 square feet, the homes are available in three different floorplans. The A plan is a two-bedroom single-level home with a garden-level walkout terrace, perfect for a morning cup of coffee or entertaining groups of all sizes. Above the A units are the B units, which are two-bedroom townhomes that feature stunning rooftop views of the Burrard Inlet and North Shore mountains. Each home also includes two private decks and a breakfast nook. The largest homes are the C units, which have three bedrooms and large outdoor terraces. One special feature of these homes is the master bedroom and ensuite, which is located in its own
loft on the third level. If you’re looking for a bit of extra privacy, the C units are definitely for you. However, it’s not just the gorgeous homes that are bringing people in. The location itself has been a major draw, Lalonde says. “Listraor has done a beautiful job of choosing the neighbourhood,” he says. “You get an unobstructed view of the mountains.” Many of the current buyers are people who have lived in the area before and are looking for something a bit different. Westridge has this in
spades, and Lalonde says that people looking for a quality home at an amazing price will not be disappointed. “There are fabulous green spaces front and back, and you get the security and convenience of the location,” he says. Westridge is close to nearly every amenity you could ever need, including several golf courses, Simon Fraser University, plenty of shops and restaurants and even a local beach. Potential buyers are able to check out Westridge Living from the comfort of their home or office with the Online
Open House, which allows you to speak with a sales representative in real time while watching a video of your chosen floorplan. This also allows homebuyers to show their home to friends and family who may be unable to visit the presentation centre. “We can cue up clips specific to (a buyer’s) request,” Lalonde says. “It gives you a bit more comprehensive look.” If you’re more of a tactile person, Listraor also has a presentation centre. Homes start at $489,900. For more information, visit westridgeliving.ca or call 778-995-9198.

Major rule change for recreational minor hockey
Hawks fall to fifth
Bodychecking banned by Rick Kupchuk HOPING TO MAKE the game safer for thou-
sands of players from the Sunshine Coast to Hope, the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association (PCAHA) has overwhelmingly voted to eliminate bodychecking at the recreational (house or C) level. At an extraordinary meeting Sunday in Cloverdale, representatives of the 42 minor hockey associations under the umbrella of PCAHA voted 123-39 in favour of the resolution. The decision affects more than 300 minor hockey teams in the Pee Wee (11-12 yearolds), Bantam (13-14) and Midget (15-17) divisions. “It wasn’t unanimous, but it was a clear consensus,” said North Delta Minor Hockey Association president George Windsor. “Our position was, after surveying our members, to support the elimination of body checking at George Windsor all levels of rec hockey. And we voted that way.” The decision does not affect A-level (rep) hockey, or the Juvenile (18-20) division. Sunday’s meeting was called to deal with a report submitted by a committee struck to address the issue. The committee – comprised of a number of minor hockey presidents and managing directors – noted that registration in minor hockey is declining and the risk of injury is one of the reasons. “There are a lot of concerns from parents across Canada that minor hockey is becoming too violent, with too many injuries,” said Windsor. “Hockey Canada is concerned about the numbers dropping quite substantially.” The decision by PCAHA follows the lead of several districts within BC Hockey. Five of the other seven districts do not allow body checking at the recreational level. PCAHA members dealt with the issue this month as opposed to the annual general meeting in May in order to have the rule

Bodychecking in the Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget C leagues will be no more after rule changes approved by the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association take effect. change in effect before minor hockey associations begin registration for next season in the spring. Another possible bodychecking ban may be in place before the puck drops on the 2012-13 season next September. A second resolution passed Sunday calls for PCAHA members to support any resolution brought forward at BC Hockey’s annual
general meeting in June that would prohibit body checking at the Pee Wee A level. “It doesn’t make sense to ban it (bodychecking) at Pee Wee A within Pacific Coast if the rest of the province doesn’t,” said Windsor. “It would put our teams at a disadvantage at provincials. “We don’t have provincials in house hockey.”
ley West Hawks one place in the B.C. Hockey Major Midget League (MML) standings. The Hawks fell 7-4 to the Vancouver Chiefs Saturday in Coquitlam, then played to a 3-3 tie in a rematch Sunday afternoon at the Langley Events Centre. The weekend results vaulted the Chiefs into sole possession of third place in the 11-team league, and with two wins on a weekend trip to Vancouver Island, the Vancouver Canadians were also able to move past the Hawks into fourth place. Now at 15-12-3 (won-lost-tied), Valley West pulled alongside the idle Okanagan Rockets in a tie for fifth place. Langley forward Daniell Lange was the hero Sunday, allowing the Hawks to salvage a single point from the weekend with a game-tying goal with 56 seconds to play. After the Chiefs tallied twice in a 31-second span midway through the final period to take a 3-1 lead, Mitchell responded with his first of two goals with five minutes to go. Ram Brar of Surrey netted the game’s first goal in the opening period. Langley defenceman Jordan Klimek and Surrey forward Mitchell Friesen collected two assists each. Four third period goals allowed the Chiefs to get the win Saturday. They led 2-1 after one period with a pair of powerplay goals, but were tied 3-3 after 40 minutes. Three of the four Chiefs powerplay goals were scored in the final frame. Friesen and Klimek each had a goal and an assist. Surrey defenceman Jerret Smith and Langley’s Josh Pollock also scored. Lange contributed with a pair of helpers. The Hawks play twice against the league-leading Vancouver Giants next weekend. They play at home Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Langley Events Centre, then play in Burnaby Sunday morning.

Devils chase second North Delta gets a win in Ladner
by Rick Kupchuk MAYBE SECOND place isn’t out of the
question for the North Delta Devils. After a 5-3 road win over the Delta Ice Hawks Tuesday night in Ladner, the Devils have pulled to within three points of Delta in the race for the runner-up position in the Tom Shaw Conference of the Pacific International Junior Hockey League. North Delta rode a 32-save performance from goaltender Harry Fredeman to get the win. Managing just 26 shots at the Ice Hawks goal, the Devils made the most of their chances after falling behind 2-0 midway through the period. Grange Gordon and Bryon Maxwell had the home team in the lead early, but Colin Catchpole cut the difference to one before the first intermission.
Julian Feljo, and affiliate player, scored his second goal in as many games with the Devils on the powerplay to knot the score 2-2 midway through the second period. Maxwell, with his 16th of the season, restored the Ice Hawks lead 71 seconds later. But it was the last goal of the game for Delta. The Devils drew even with a goal from Jacob Wensley before the second period was over. Michal Urbaniak notched the winner with an unassisted effort on the powerplay nine minutes into the final frame. Then Robert Lacis scored into an empty net with 15 seconds to play. The victory improved the Devils to 21-10-4 (won-lost-tied), three points back of Delta, which has played two fewer games. The Devils host the Mission Ice Breakers Saturday night at 6:45 p.m. at the Sungod Arena.

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.

wins to move up in the standings. They host the 5-4 Quest Kermodes Friday night and the 7-2 Capilano Blues on Saturday. Both games tip-off at 6 p.m. The two losses by the men’s team left the Eagles with a 2-8 record, three games out of a playoff position with six games left in the regular season. They gave the first place Mariners a test Friday night before falling 84-72. Four players scored in double digits for Kwantlen, led by guard Mark Mitchell with 16 points. Aaron Ram of Surrey netted 15 points and Varinder Singh of North Delta scored 12. Rookie guard Chris Arcangel of Toronto tallied 11. Singh, a six-foot-five forward from Seaquam Secondary, also had 10 rebounds for a double double. Kwantlen led 29-28 midway through Saturday’s game against the 7-3 Chargers, only to fall 77-66. Arcangel with 14 points and Singh with 12 were the leading scorers for the Eagles. The Eagles also host Quest (0-9) and Capilano (6-3) next weekend. Both games are at 8 p.m.

The prevailing practice is to take what works with older children and to apply them to the younger set. Dr. Neufeld reveals the pitfalls of this strategy, especially regarding such common methods as warnings, consequences and time-outs. According to Neufeld, our methods must be informed by how young brains work and by what is required for healthy development to occur. Dr. Neufeld will provide alternative strategies that are both effective and developmentally safe with young children.

teams swept two basketball teams from Kwantlen Polytechnic University In PacWest league play last weekend in Surrey. The Vancouver Island University Mariners won both the men’s and women’s games Friday night, and Victoria’s Camosun Chargers duplicated the sweep of the Kwantlen Eagles Saturday afternoon. “We were badly out-rebounded this weekend,” said Dan Nayebzadeh, head coach of the Eagles women’s team. “We played well defensively in both games, but we had no flow offensively and didn’t shoot the ball well all weekend.” Kwantlen could have built a two-game lead between themselves and seventh place (six teams make the playoffs), but Saturday’s loss to Camosun left them tied for fifth with the Chargers at 4-6 (won-lost), just a game up on the Langara Falcons. The Eagles fell behind early and never challenged for the lead in a 68-52 loss. Against the Mariners Friday night, the Nanaimo team

counting in the regularseason standings. The season would end March 10. The league will again re-jig its conferences and divisions. Starting next season, there will be 10 teams in the Coastal Conference – split into Island and Mainland divisions, as has been done in the past. Joining Surrey in the Mainland Division would be the Coquitlam Express, Langley Rivermen, Chilliwack Chiefs and Prince George Spruce Kings. While it may seem odd to put Prince George in a division with teams in the Lower Mainland, Erhart said it’s really not that big of a deal. Under the new schedule, Lower Mainland teams would only have to play Prince George four times, which could be covered off in one double-header trip for each team. “People look at that alignment and they say, ‘wow’ but it’s really not too bad,” Erhart said. “And besides, next year we’ll only have to make a couple trips to the Island, and this year we’re making seven, so that saves our team a lot of money, too. “I kind of like the structure of it all.” A playoff format for next season has not yet been determined.

(BCHL) season will get a week longer and four games shorter next season, after league governors passed a number of motions at their semiannual meeting last week in Richmond. For the 2012-13 season, each team in the BCHL will play 56 games, down from 60, in an attempt to minimize the number of mid-week games teams play. Historically, midweek games – especially in the Lower Mainland, including Surrey – have drawn mediocre crowds. Under the new system, more games will be held on Friday and Saturday nights. “I think it’s good. With the economy the way it is, I think this will really help (team’s finances),” said Surrey Eagles head coach and general manager Matt Erhart. “Before, if you had a Wednesday night game and the Canucks were playing on TV, it was basically a success if you lost money.” It was also decided that the start of the regular season would be Sept. 14 – this year it began Sept. 23 – while a showcase event, held to attract scouts, will be held in a select city Sept. 7-9 with each team playing twice, and results

...with Dan Jukich Consecutive Sunday afternoons of cancelled racing have been a disappointment for horsemen and fans at Fraser Downs Racetrack and one person I know who’s really felt the frustration is Larry Clark. And right now you’re probably asking: “Larry who?” That’s understandable, even though he is literally on the track for every race and it’s been that way for the past 10 years. I call him ‘The Unknown Man’. Larry Clark is a full-time blacksmith by trade and just happens to love his part-time job as the official starter at The Downs. Accompanied by driver Sean Humphries and veterinarian Sheryl Bourque, they form an important trio in the very make-up of each race. Here’s how it works: Sean, the driver, positions the start car in the middle of the track in front of the grandstand with two minutes to post time. At post time Larry signals with a horn to notify the drivers that their horses are to line up. He orchestrates the opening of the wings of the car and the horses begin to assemble in their respective posts. The gate starts moving and is controlled by Larry, as Sean makes sure it remains in the centre of the track. His steering is critical because any movement one way or the other could cause problems. As the horses move with the gate, it’s Larry’s responsibility to make certain each one is in the right post order. He also does a quick check for broken equipment. With everything in order, Sean gets the “go’ word and hits the gas to speed away from the field while Larry folds in the wings. Once the starting car is clear of the field, the vehicle heads to the outside fence to allow the horses to go by. The car follows at a safe distance while Sheryl watches intently and continues her surveillance through the duration of the race. If something does go wrong, the team in the start car can be the first on the scene to help out. They stand by: ready, willing and able. Clark sets aside every Wednesday as a training day at Fraser Downs for young horses that are schooled off the gate and for trainers practicing getting speed in their paces away from the gate. Then come racing days, he practices what he preaches. Hopefully, those racing days will resume Friday (7 p.m.) and Sunday 1:45 p.m.). djukich@fraserdowns.com

Ken Boyd, Patricia Braun, Pat McDermott and Kim Monsanto star in Looking, a comedy by Norm Foster, presented by Surrey Little Theatre from Jan. 26 to Feb. 18.
Surrey Little Theatre’s romantic comedy, Looking, examines ‘this relationship thing’
The look of love
by Sheila Reynolds
O
n any given day, it’s said, there is a Norm Foster play being staged somewhere in the world. Surrey theatre veteran Rita Price doesn’t doubt it. And she knows exactly why. “He takes regular people and puts them in regular situations. Not unlike Seinfeld,” she says, referencing the hit ’90s TV comedy that was famous for being a show about nothing. Really, it was a sitcom about average people – albeit quirky – going about their daily lives. Foster’s scripts are much the same, with characters almost everyone can relate to on some level. For example, in the play Looking, which Price is currently directing at Surrey Little Theatre, the characters include a nurse, a broadcaster, a fellow who sells storage space and a police woman. “You probably, in your lifetime, have known people who have done these sorts of jobs,” says Price. Indeed, Foster is the most-produced playwright in the country, and has been for at least two decades. His works include Ethan Claymore, The Melville Boys, Director Rita Price Here On The Flight Path, The Love List, and many, many more. And while each is unique, they are always peppered with a seemingly perfect balance of laughs and tender moments. Again, not unlike real life, Price notes. “In our lives, not everything is funny, we do have our serious moments, and vice versa, not everything is serious, we do have our funny moments.” Looking tells the story of four single, middle-aged people who are seeking relationships. There is Val (played by Fort Langley’s Kim Monsanto, returning to the stage after a 20-year hiatus), an operating room nurse and divorcée who hasn’t
dated in six years; her best friend police officer Nina (played by Abbotsford’s Patricia Braun, last seen in SLT’s Murder of Crows); salesman Andy (played by Abbotsford’s Pat McDermott, most recently in SLT’s Cactus Flower); and his buddy Matt (played by Langley’s Ken Boyd), a radio broadcaster. “I found out after I cast him (Boyd) that he had been a professional broadcaster for years,” says Price. The quartet crosses paths after Nina checks the classifieds to help Val find a date. She answers an ad from Andy and a blind date is arranged. But Val takes Nina along and Matt accompanies Andy for moral support. What ensues is a journey over the following weeks where each discovers what kind of relationship they are actually looking for. “It is comedic, there’s lots of comedy,” Price says of Looking, “but there’s always a message in it too. And he (Foster) always shows the human side of people, the vulnerability. Things don’t always go right and you are disappointed and you are struggling.” Looking is billed as having “adult content,” but Price assures it’s not offensive, just more on the “spicy” side. “There’s a couple of smoochy scenes,” she says, adding there are mature references kids simply won’t understand. The sets, she says, are minimalist, and the costumes simple. Because Foster’s storylines are contemporary, there’s no need for an elaborate stage or period costumes – perfect for small community theatre groups with limited space and meagre funding. But it’s the quick wit of Looking that Price promises will entertain. “You have to have a good pace. It’s almost like there’s one joke and by the time you’re registering it, there’s another one. “The audience isn’t going to fall asleep on this one.” Surrey Little Theatre presents Looking from Jan. 26 to Feb. 18 at 7027 184 St. Evening shows are Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m., with 2 p.m. Sunday matinées on Feb. 5 and 12. All tickets are $15. Reserve by phoning 604-576-8451 or emailing reservations@surreylittletheatre.com

reading or writing. However, a child does not have to be diagnosed as having a learning disability to attend the tutoring program. At least 10 to 15 per cent of the population has learning disabilities. Many have difficulty learning to read and write but remain undiagnosed and not remediated. LDAFS programs are designed to help these children by providing early intervention at an affordable fee. In addition, some partial subsidies are available for families in financial need. Tutoring is available from Feb. 6 to May 24. Students attend one hour sessions twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays after school.

R.I.P. Joyce Ashika Chand Jan 9, 1987 - Jan 28, 2003 Another year passes, yet the feeling still stings. Of how you’re not here anymore and the sadness it brings. It’s unbelievable to think 9 years have passed, since we were able to see you last. Your beauty, laughter and smile is what we hold on to. Because it’s just hard not to think about you. Yet we know you’re watching over us and the things we do. And we want you to know that we miss you.
