Welfare recipients wish Brar luck
MLA’s money will run out sooner than he expects, they say
by Kevin Diakiw INSIDE THE welfare-assessment office Tuesday, Jagrup Brar was peppered with questions for 90 minutes to see if he would qualify for assistance. Outside, a homeless man wished the Surrey-Fleetwood MLA all the luck in the world. “He’ll need it,� said Dennis, who knows what it’s like to live on a fixed income. Dennis receives $262 for a disability but, as he has no home, gets no housing cheque. Brar was going through the application process on the third day of his Dennis month-long challenge attempting to live on the welfare rate of $610 – $375 of which is for housing. Prompted by the group Raise the Rates, Brar is focusing attention on social assistance. “If he gets $600, he’s got a better start than most of us,� Dennis said, noting Brar is fortunate he didn’t start the challenge last month. “He didn’t get that cold spell we went through.�
“If he gets $600, he’s got a better start than most of us.�

Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease ďŹ ve years ago, Fleetwood resident Jim Mann is using Twitter for the month of January to share his daily thoughts and activities to give the perspective of someone in the early stages of the disease.
A month in Jim’s shoes Surrey man shares his daily experiences with Alzheimer’s on Twitter

W
hen asked if he was interested in promoting Alzheimer’s Disease awareness, Jim Mann jumped at the opportunity. Diagnosed with the illness five years ago, the 63-year-old Fleetwood resident will spend the month of January tweeting his day-today activities and thoughts online to provide the perspective of a person in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. “Had a meeting today and I panicked when I lost my train of thought,� Mann tweeted Wednesday afternoon. “I probably sounded odd trying to b.s. my way as I figured out where I was going with my thoughts.�
Earlier, he tweeted that he couldn’t remember his phone number. And another said he’d been told three times where he was going, but couldn’t recall. “I’ll ask a leading question instead,� he typed on Twitter. “There are so many stereotypes and misconceptions associated with Alzheimer’s disease that they become barriers to seeking information, support, and even a diagnosis,� Mann said during an interview, explaining his decision to tweet. “We need to face this disease and talk about it openly so that people can have greater awareness and are motivated to do something about it.� See MANN / Page 3

Mann: Using Twitter to help educate From page 1 Mann will be tweeting his real life experiences during Alzheimer Awareness Month, a promotion of the Alzheimer Society of BC (ASBC) to shed light on a disease which affects more than 70,000 British Columbians, 10,000 of whom are under the age of 65. “I’m an advocate to educate,” said Mann, who sits on the board of directors of ASBC. “We need to break the stereotype of an older person in the final stages of life. I hope
“We need to break the stereotype of an older person in the final stages of life.” Jim Mann this is one way of doing it.” “The perception is it affects only older people, and that’s not always the case,” added Ruby Ng, ASBC’s director of marketing and communications. “We see the importance of reaching young people, and social media is a good way to do it.” The ASBC is encouraging those concerned about memory loss in themselves or a loved one to see a doctor, or visit www.letsfaceitbc. ca for information about warning signs, preparing for a diagnosis, and other useful resources. Mann has been a director with the provincial organization for four years, and has served on the Alzheimer Society of Canada’s board of directors for the past three years. “I’m the voice of people with Alzheimer’s,” said Mann. “A lot of organizations don’t have a voice from the people they serve.” To follow In Jim’s Shoes, follow the Alzheimer Society of B.C.

Surrey home values up slightly Residential property assessments mailed out this week by Jeff Nagel THE VALUE OF most Surrey homes gained modestly,
according to new 2012 values released Tuesday by BC Assessment. The property assessments are being mailed out this week but south of Fraser properties generally shouldn’t see the large increases seen in some parts of Metro Vancouver. “Home owners in Surrey and White Rock will see modest changes in the minus 5 to plus 15 per cent range,” said Chris Danchuk, deputy assessor for the South Fraser region. The numbers vary considerably depending on neighbourhoods, property type, age and other localized factors. Sample homes in Newton and Cloverdale barely changed from the previous year’s assessments, according to BC Assessment, while houses in Fleetwood, Whalley and Guildford gained between three and six per cent on the year. (See graph accompanying online story.) South Surrey homes are up more – roughly 9.5 per cent in the case of one sample house that climbed from $623,800 to $683,000 – and many White Rock houses are up by eight to 12 per cent.
Commercial and industrial properties in the area can expect gains ranging from zero to 15 per cent. Overall, Surrey and White Rock total real estate values increased 8.3 per cent to $93.8 billion, although almost $2.1 billion of that stems from subdivisions, rezoning and new construction. More than two million assessment notices are being mailed this month, leaving time for an appeal period before property taxes are assessed. Values stayed mainly stable in the Fraser Valley for residential homes and strata properties, while business or industrial properties were up zero to 20 per cent. Delta values largely held steady, while there were increases of up to 30 per cent for some areas of Richmond. Summaries for each region and values of individual properties can be viewed at www.bcassessment.ca. Owners have until Jan. 31 to dispute their assessments, which are intended to reflect a snapshot as of July 1, 2011.

Man shot in back after booze theft
by Tracy Holmes A 31-YEAR-old Surrey
man was airlifted to hospital Tuesday, after he was shot in the back during a late-night altercation at a Panorama Ridge home. Cpl. Drew Grainger
said police raced to the 12400-block of 53 Street just after 11 p.m. after a 911 call alerted them to the shooting. “This apparently was as a result of the male being visited last night by two people known to him,” Grainger said
Incident the latest in a rash of violence Wednesday. “They spoke at the doorway to the residence, apparently about some liquor that had been stolen a couple days prior to yesterday. “This discussion
became quite animated, to the point where a handgun was produced, shots were fired and the victim sustained a single gunshot wound to the back.” Grainger said the man was initially listed in serious condition, but has since stabilized and is expected to make a full recovery. He is cooperating with police, Grainger said.
Including the victim, there were three adults in the home at the time of the shooting. Two “persons of interest” are being sought. Grainger said as they are known to the victim, it is not a matter of if police will locate the pair, but when. Officers with Surrey RCMP’s serious crimes unit are investigating. The shooting is the
most recent incident in a rash of violence that’s occurred in Surrey since Christmas Eve. On Dec. 29, a 55-year-old man was found seriously beaten in a minivan parked in the 9500-block of 139 Street; Apollo-Lyn Simpson, 28, was fatally gunned down in the 9500-block of 125 Street Dec. 27; a 54-year-old woman was shot in the chest at a Whalley apartment Dec. 26;
grocery store clerk Alok Gupta, a 27-year-old Kwantlen business student, was fatally shot Dec. 25 in the 11700block of 96 Avenue; and Bradley McPherson, 28, was fatally shot while at a Christmas Eve party in the 13100-block of 67A Avenue. In Langley, a man shot in front of his home Dec. 26, is believed to have been a targeted killing. tholmes@peacearchnews.com

M
aybe we love to rebel against authority. Perhaps we feel we’re our own experts, empowered by the ability to search any topic online. Or it could be the role of social networks, where some folks trust anything their Facebook friends tell them but refuse to believe a newspaper report. Whatever it is, too many of us seem too quick to distrust the scientists, experts and other traditional leaders of our society. Don’t get me wrong. Critical thinking is a good thing. Evidence, data, decisions and policies should be challenged. You have to be your own advocate. But it strikes me as an insult to doctors who invested years of study when we try to out-think them, armed with a quickie diagnosis from Dr. Google. Physicians, of course, weren’t the only ones fighting an uphill battle against the overinformed masses in 2011. Economists who said B.C. would be wise to keep the Harmonized Sales Tax found their advice ignored by the majority of voters. Astronomers were still rebutting a viral email hoax that’s circulated for years, claiming a rare celestial event will make Mars appear as big as the moon. Pollution experts struggled to counter YouTube and Facebook posts Jeff claiming to expose the “real” radiation levels B.C. was receiving from Japan’s nuclear disaster. Granted there are situations where scientists disagree, or may be aligned with opposing stakeholders. The debate over Metro Vancouver’s garbage incineration plans and the possible role of fish farms in the decline of sockeye salmon spring to mind. In the case of the Fukushima disaster, nearby Japanese residents were right to disbelieve almost everything they were first told. For the most part, though, I worry for our future if too many of us engage in knee-jerk cynicism. India’s prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh (a doctor and a politician, pity him) said it well last

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
$610 A MONTH
month: “Rampant distrust of all authority imperils the foundations of democracy.” I’d say it imperils our health as well. When too many vaccination rebels refuse to get a shot to help keep serious diseases at bay, we are all put at greater danger. We saw this two years ago with the H1N1 flu vaccine refuseniks and more recently with parents holding chicken pox parties rather than have their kids submit to Big Pharma and the needle. Besides a failure to filter and intelligently assess the glut of information now at our fingertips, we seem to have a related problem: an inability to realistically assess risk. As a result, we have a low-level insurgency against BC Hydro’s wireless smart meters, despite the fact every square inch of the Lower Mainland is blanketed by wifi and cellphone signal networks. We have schools ringed with parents’ cars because of the pervasive fear that lurking pedophiles will snare our children on the walk to class – despite the fact nearly all molesters and abductors are known to their victims and families. We worry about “the big C” and how to avoid it because cancer rates are rising – never mind that’s largely because we’re living longer and not dropping from heart attacks as early. Nagel And we have the public’s intense fear of crime, despite generally falling crime rates, that the Harper government is exploiting to impose U.S.-style justice reforms that many experts fear will be a costly failure. I’ve run out of space, but I suspect the 9/11 conspiracy theorists, moon landing skeptics and Holocaust deniers have already tuned out. For the rest of you still with me, thanks for reading. I trust you didn’t believe a word. Jeff Nagel is the regional reporter for Black Press in the Lower Mainland. jnagel@surreyleader.com

Welfare rates not meeting market needs Resolve to be tan free in 2012
I COMMEND Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar for his efforts to draw attention to the thousands of British Columbians living in impoverished conditions on welfare in this province. I feel $610 per month is legislated poverty and oppressive and the welfare rates should be raised sooner rather than later. Why? Raising welfare rates is an efficient way to stimulate the economy. Money distributed to the poor will be spent in the local economy. This will increase the need for more goods, services and workers and unemployment may start to fall. Helping the poor pays huge dividends in every
sector of government expenditure, especially big budget items such as health and education. Lifting children and families out of poverty increases positive outcomes for the most marginalized among us whether it’s increasing literacy, reducing malnutrition, or increasing graduation rates. With a focus on a healthy and educated society, less youth will go into crime or gangs, thereby saving the government millions in police, court, and prison-related costs. It is morally the right thing to do to help the less-fortunate reach their potential. The solution is finding support for the mentally ill, detox for
persons addicted to drugs, and homes for the homeless. Jagrup Brar should also be arguing for streamlining the administration of the welfare system. I don’t see why the federal government cannot issue income assistance cheques through the use of technology and centralization. Welfare rates have not met market needs for decades. I think a welfare recipient receives $375 for rent per month. Where can you find a place for that amount unless you relocate to the marginalized and often dangerous parts of town?

Prison programs are ineffective RE: “JUSTICE system’s weak third leg,” Tom Fletcher, The Leader, Dec. 13. I’m serving a sentence at Matsqui federal prison and my name is Mark Lukyn. I was awed at how much it costs to warehouse us, and yes I mean warehouse. The column mentions how only one-third of the people who take programs actually complete them. The article reads like we are undisciplined and that completing a program is the answer to recidivism and behavioural problems. The people who deliver these programs are often ex-parole officers or guards themselves with no special requirements to teach the program, other than having sat through it themselves. I have taken a five-month program (National Substance Abuse Program) and the new Integrated Correctional Program Model program. Instead of focusing on one problem for an extended time, the new program sweeps all areas of concern with one general agonizing sweep of acronyms and confusing contradictions that are worded poorly, often confusing the instructors more than the inmates themselves. I have personally seen people try with all their heart, attending every class, doing homework with intense passion to change, only to see them come back to jail two weeks later for the same type of offence. Others
who refuse the programs, or drop out halfway through, make it out for eight years. There is no rhyme or reason and in my opinion the programs are for the most part ineffective. I truly believe these programs are precautions the parole board takes to ensure they have a credible excuse when the inmate re-offends, so they can say “we gave him the program,” or “he refused it.” This lets the public continue to see us as villains. I ask you bluntly, how can you or the public or anyone place such high stock in programs they’ve never seen? The public cannot attend, the media cannot attend, these programs are held behind closed doors, shielded from public scrutiny lest they lose their magical status. These programs are like everything else government delivers, a bland chili made without care and delivered with no love. We are warehoused, kept like dogs in a kennel, and threatened
to take these programs or lose our pay. Parole is only given to those who finish the programs and if they re-offend it is their fault, not the programming. I say that the programs are not working. The whole approach to rehabilitation is pretence to keep the public happy. We are caged for years and then lobbed into the community with conditions that trip us up and ensure a speedy return. Many of us have deep trouble coping with life sober. Most of us have suffered through shitty home lives, ran away at puberty and have slowly offered ourselves unwittingly to the courts and institutions. Here we are herded like cattle and shuffled to court in little cages on wheels, stripped of our humanity. Many of us are worth rehabilitation, and if the cost of keeping us in here (which is mind-boggling) were put to actual rehabilitation, we could really put a dent in those numbers of recidivism. Okay, so what do we do right? Well it is that hard. Perhaps that is why only the bare minimum is done, because we are seen as unhelpable. We require a paradigm shift. I have finished my schooling, I now have my Grade 12, but the jail doesn’t provide post-secondary.
“Our problems are human problems, not problems that a ‘program’ can fix.”
There is no money for college. Many men here are now old. It’s sad to see men caged so long, grey-haired and broken, swept under the carpet as a way of dealing with them. There is a terrible sense of injustice in here. Most men are simply waiting to have all the things that were taken from them – girls, food, Internet, cars, drugs and alcohol. We come out of the gates like a man in the desert dying of thirst, drinking too much water too quickly and hurting his stomach. We are the bastards, the mutts and mongrels. The orphans of society. Our problems are human problems, not problems that a “program” can fix. No program can heal the trauma some men suffered early on. No program can fill the hole of their father leaving, sexual abuse, years of self-loathing and pain that’s too intense to feel or deal with. These programs are topical balms that never enter the subcutaneous regions that affect real change. As it stands, we are warehoused and fed programs that are not working. Mark Lukyn, Abbotsford
THIS YEAR, my New Year’s resolution will include remaining tan-free for 2012. It seems to me indoor tanning is still a popular choice these days, especially among high school students. Last year, I watched as over half of my classmates used a tanning bed, and probably the majority, including me, purchased at least a spray tan to fit in. I understand the pressures of wanting to be sun-kissed when the rest of your school is, but I now realize it is not beautiful or healthy. I feel if the pressure had not been there I would have never even considered tanning. Many kids are getting tanned before going on holidays this winter and before you know it lots of them will be tanning for prom or graduation. I am writing to encourage parents and young people alike to think twice before going to an indoor tanning salon. According to the World Health Organization, even occasional use of tanning beds before the age of 35 increases the risk of melanoma (the deadliest form of skin cancer) by 75 per cent. Along with tobacco, indoor tanning is a Class 1 carcinogen. UV damage is cumulative and permanent. According to the Canadian Dermatology Association, exposure to UV radiation causes 90 per cent of premature aging and wrinkles. We are told that tanning is okay, that indoor tanning is a safe way to get vitamin D, and that a “base tan” will protect us from getting a sunburn. All of these arguments have been disproved by medical health experts. The fact is that any change in skin colour significantly raises our risk of skin cancer. I have learned that the B.C. government is considering banning indoor tanning for youth under 18 years of age. I hope everyone will write to our health minister Mike de Jong and let him know you support this. Please make remaining tan-free one of your resolutions for 2012. Savannah Bresnick

Helpful students, Cozy Kids STUDENTS AT ÉCOLE Woodward Hill Elementary School
collected donations to make it a warmer winter for new immigrant and refugee families From Dec. 1-16, students participated in the Cozy Kids Campaign to benefit clients of DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society. They collected items such as new or nearnew winter coats, hats, scarves and gloves, as well as bags of rice, beans, oil and lentils – basic food staples for more than 20 families in need. “This is the second year the school has supported our clients with the Cozy Kids Campaign,” said Lesley Woodman, executive director for DIVERSEcity. “It is heartwarming to witness their compassion and sense of social duty. “Of course the real benefactors are the children and families who are recipients of their generosity and hard work. They receive tangible proof that other young people are welcoming them to the community”. DIVERSEcity is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote the independence of new Canadians and to build strong culturally diverse communities.

Among Santa’s CHAMPs LOCAL MEMBERS of the War Amps Child Amputee
(CHAMP) Program, who recently joined the Association’s PLAYSAFE/DRIVESAFE float in Rogers Santa Claus Parade in Vancouver, helped to mark a milestone: 65 years of key tags. Surrey’s Aimee Brennan, 10, a left arm amputee, rode the float as a safety ambassador. A special sign on the float marked the 65th anniversary of War Amps key tags. Public support of key tags allows the War Amps to run its many programs such as CHAMP, which provides child amputees across Canada with funding for artificial limbs, regional seminars and programs such as Matching Mothers. Astar, the gold robot from Planet Danger, was also front and centre, reminding kids that he can put his arm back on, but they can’t, so “PLAYSAFE!” “All of the Champs who joined the float are part of our National Safety Ambassador Team,” said Rob Larman, director of PLAYSAFE/DRIVESAFE, who himself lost a leg at the age of 14 when friends dared him to jump a train.

Market expected to remain strong this year
GVHBA forecasts solid performance in 2012 Don’t look for any crazy twists and turns for B.C.’s housing market in 2012. Peter Simpson, President and CEO of the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association, says the coming year should be solid, if unspectacular, and the market for homes in the Lower Mainland is expected to remain strong through 2012. Numbers for 2011 are expected to end up at just around 18,000 starts, and Simpson expects limited growth for 2012, with home starts staying close to the level set last year. Simpson says first-time homebuyers have returned to the market, which has helped to maintain the number of housing starts. “We’re finding that first-time home buyers are coming back and buying homes. “They can’t see interest rates rising anytime
soon,” he says. “They see it as a good time to get into the market.” Other buyers may still be sitting on the sidelines and waiting out the transition from the HST back to the PST, but Simpson says this might not be the best path to take. The HST, charged on new homes over $525,000 and on labour for renovations, was rejected last summer and the province said it would take 18 months to move back to the PST. For 2012, Simpson and the GVHBA will be proceeding with cautious optimism. While there are economic concerns that are beyond our control, Simpson says the housing market should remain a source of strength for B.C. “The bottom line is there will be a steady market through 2012, and we don’t see any reason for that to change.”
Superior interior design at an affordable price
Varsity has first-class features in Langley by Kerry Vital
If you want to be in the right place at the right time, you need look no farther than Redekop Kroeker Development’s Varsity, in Langley. With 231 one- and two-bedroom homes in four buildings, Varsity is destined to become one of the premier home developments in the area. Ranging from 470 to 910 square feet, you won’t have any problems finding the perfect suite for you. One of the biggest draws thus far has been Varsity’s location. “It is a very walkable location with 250-plus stores (and) 100-plus restaurants within a 10-minute walk,” says Rennie Marketing project director Graham Snowden. “Those numbers double if you’re driving.” Snowden isn’t exaggerating. Varsity is extremely close to any amenity or service you could possibly ask for, from supermarkets like Safeway and IGA, to drugstores like London Drugs and Shoppers Drug Mart, and restaurants like IHOP and Red Robin. If you’re looking for some recreation, there are yoga studios, several parks, golf courses and swimming pools nearby as well. Seven schools, from elementary to post-secondary, are available for your educational needs. One of the things RKDI is most proud of in Varsity is its incredible value. “RKDI has committed to providing a home with superior interior design detail at an affordable price,” says Snowden. Some of those interior design details
“

he says. One special feature in every home is the under-cabinet lighting in the bathroom, which includes a motion sensor so you’ll never be stumbling around in the dark. Rich marble countertops in the main bathroom or square-edge granite in the ensuite make for a luxurious feel, complemented perfectly by the 12” by 24” ceramic floor tiles and antique white tub
surround. “The realtor community, purchasers, visitors and neighbours have all been very impressed with the quality of the interior design details, floor plan design, the affordability, the location and architecture of the building,” Snowden says. Homes at Varsity start at $149,900. For more information visit www. liveatvarsity.com or call 604-539-2200.
include closet organizers in every bedroom and under-cabinet puck lighting in the kitchen. The kitchen is one of Snowden’s favourite parts of the development. “On the surface you see the granite counters and stainless-steel appliances. When you look a little deeper, you are welcomed by a stainless-steel gas range, French-door fridge, soft-close cabinets and stainless-steel undermount sink,”

Newcomers power Eagles past Capitals Junior A hockey team defeats Cowichan Valley in Richmond by Nick Greenizan THE SURREY Eagles
showed few signs of a holiday hangover Thursday, winning 4-1 over the first-place
Cowichan Valley Capitals in their first game back after the Christmas break. The win bumped Surrey back into a tie with the Powell River Kings
for second place in the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference with 44 points, three back of Cowichan. “Cowichan’s a real good team, so it’s excit-

ing to get that one,” said Eagles coach Matt Erhart. “Cowichan played the night before, so they had already shook off their rust… it took us a few minutes to get our own rust off, but after that, I thought we played well, and put a good 60 minutes together.” It was a pair of relative newcomers who got the Birds off to a good start against the Caps, in a game that was played at Richmond’s Minoru Arena as part of the annual Richmond International Midget Hockey Tournament. After a slow first period in which neither team bulged the twine, Surrey forward Alex
Hagen and Trevor Cameron – who were both acquired in December – scored within two minutes of each other to give the Eagles a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes. Two minutes into the third period, Cowichan put a dent in Surrey’s lead when Logan Proulx beat goaltender Andrew Hunt, who stopped 31 shots in the win. Surrey’s power-play, which was among the best in the league early in the season but has tumbled to 12th-best, extended the lead within a 50-second span midway through the final frame, when Brett Mulcahy and Devon Toews each scored goals with the man-advantage.
TM
Cowichan responded with a power-play goal of their own with 1:50 left in the game, when Kyle Becker scored. What pleased Erhart more than the two points in the standings was the fact that his team appears to have picked up right where they left off before Christmas, when they won five straight. “I think the break did us good – it gave the guys a physical and mental break,” he said. “It’s a little different if you lose five straight before Christmas, but we came back recharged and ready to go.” He was also pleased that his new additions to the forward ranks
– Hagen, Cameron and Brayden Jaw, who has six assists in seven games – have fit so seemlessly among his top three lines. Hagen has found chemistry with Sean McGovern and Robert Lindores; Cameron is playing on a line with Charles Orzetti and Branden Tanev; and Jaw is alongside Brandon and Tyler Morley. “It’s been really good. It’s given us a ton of depth, and now we’re getting goals from all four of our lines,” Erhart said. “It basically gives us three first lines – 1A, 1B and 1C. And any given night, a different line takes the lead.”

Public Notice Notice is hereby given:
Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich Dave McKellar was a young kid hanging out in the backstretch when Cloverdale Raceway opened on January 1, 1976. Now here it is 36 years later and he’s a respected owner, trainer and driver at Fraser Downs Racetrack. McKellar shows no signs of slowing down, either. When the dust settled on the 2011 season last Friday night, the Langley horseman had 41 wins as a trainer and 58 driving. McKellar trainees Red Star Governor ($16.90), A Midnight Promise ($14.80) and Garden Gate LL ($14) were all upset winners Friday. Even with those lucrative victories, McKellar’s most fun on the weekend just might have been driving Art of Arts - one of his favourites - to a convincing win in the ninth race on Sunday’s card. There is quite a story behind how Art of Arts wound up in McKellar’s stable. The now five-year-old daughter of Power of Art was racing in the lower claiming level at Cal-Expo this past summer. McKellar drove her (“not very well that day”) for the former owner and when the Northern California meet ended McKellar did some good old-fashioned horse trading and introduced Art of Arts to life north of the border. She began the fall season at Fraser Downs racing for $6,000 but has now found her way into the condition level with wins in three of her last four starts to make it five in total at The Downs. McKellar refers to Art of Arts as “the little horse with a big heart”. While J.F. Gagne was scoring four driving wins on Sunday (reaching 1,000 in his career) it was actually Jim Marino who had the crowd buzzing with his driving triple, most notably bringing home upset winner Just Fiction ($34.10) in Canada’s very first Open event of 2012. Just Fiction, last year’s B.C. Stallion Stakes champion, equaled her lifetime record of 1:55.3 in the $12,500 Fillies & Mares Open Pace. Trailing the seven-horse field for most of the way, Marino slipped things into high gear and closed with a rush to beat Legal Suspensory (Dave Hudon) at the wire. Jans Rich Girl (Scott Knight) and Mystic Maiden (Justin Currie) finished third in a dead-heat. The resulting two triactors were whoppers: 7-4-5 paying $264.90 and 7-4-6 paying $462.00). Marino’s two other successful Sunday afternoon drives were Prime Time Bliss ($4.10) and Custom Crafted ($3.40). Gagne’s grand slam included Tre Bien ($2.90), Lightemup ($13.30), Queens Heritaj ($22.20) and Rehearsal Hall ($5.90). Not a bad day’s work, huh?
