Fatal crash ‘could have happened Transit Police to anyone,’ killer driver says

model criticized

Man whose driving caused the deaths of Bakhshish and Dilbag Badh sentenced today

New chief disputes report’s ﬁndings by Jeff Nagel

by Sheila Reynolds TRANSLINK’S TRANSIT Police are A HUSH fell over a Surrey court-

room Tuesday afternoon as Ravinder Singh Binning approached the microphone. He began by apologizing to Surrey’s Badh family, two of whom were killed when a speeding Binning slammed into the back of their car, sending it spinning into a street pole near 85 Avenue and 128 Street. Binning fled the scene where Dilbag and Bakhshish Badh were fatally injured, and their two daughters, Rupi and Varinder, were seriously hurt. “I cannot imagine what they have gone through and continue to go through,” said Binning during his sentencing hearing before Judge Reg Harris in Surrey Provincial Court. Binning, 30, said he has been vilified and portrayed in the media as a “horrible person” who should get the death penalty. “But what happened on that night four years ago was something that... could have happened to anyone. It was a complete accident,” he said, adding he hoped the Badh family would someday forgive him. It was July 12, 2008 when Rupi Badh was driving her mom and dad, Dilbag, 61, and Bakhshish, 60, and sister Varinder home from a party celebrating Rupi’s engagement.

under renewed criticism after a report for the Edmonton Police Service warned the Metro Vancouver transit security model is one that should not be emulated. The report by Edmonton Police Acting Supt. Garry Meads flags jurisdictional overlaps between Transit Police – who act as a supplemental service with full policing powers mainly along SkyTrain lines – and the local police or RCMP who do have specific geographical responsibilities. “This type of arrangement has resulted in much confusion and inefficiencies,” Meads said in the April 2011 Garry Meads report, adding he was told the model will likely never be repeated in B.C. There’s often uncertainty about whether Transit Police or local police should respond to a call, he said, resulting in “negotiation” between the forces and “frustration” among stakeholders. Mead said it should not have been a surprise that the TransLink policing model would be challenging.

“This type of arrangement has resulted in much confusion...”

Bakhshish and Dilbag Badh were killed when their car was hit by a vehicle driven by Ravinder Binning, who then ﬂed the scene. Binning will be sentenced today (March 15). In a victim impact statement read in court Tuesday, a tearful Rupi recalled seeing her father dead in the back seat and her mom lying on the pavement after being thrown from the car as a “complete nightmare.” Rupi said she was always protec-

tive of her parents, but could do nothing to help them the fateful night of the crash. Eldest daughter Jatinder Badh said she lives every day with regret, wishing she had said a proper goodbye to her parents after the engagement party.

“We live with this everlasting legacy of agony day in and day out,” she said. The emotion-filled morning was too much for their brother Raminder, who stormed out of the courtroom, shouting at Binning’s family.

Transit Police:

Single mom of five finds plumb new career

From page 3

North Delta woman who ‘never even used a drill before’ now working as an apprentice plumber by Evan Seal NEARLY TWO years ago, Cathy Minty was in a desperate situation.

Having just moved back to North Delta, the mother of five young children, ranging in age from four to 13 years old, found herself separated from her husband and unemployed. Having grown up in North Delta, with family close by, helped initially. However, with the high cost of living in the Lower Mainland – including daycare fees – the situation became tough very quickly. “My parents have been incredible helping with everything, including the kids,” said Minty. “But my money soon ran out and I realized I needed a career, like yesterday.” So she started researching jobs online, but it was a challenge finding something that could support five children. Going back to school would be extremely expensive, and Minty knew that even if she was able to scrape up the money, working and supporting five kids while she went to Cathy Minty school would have been impossible. That’s when she remembered something her father had once said after getting some work done on his house: “Someone always needs a plumber. That would be a great job.” So Minty started researching how to become a plumber. She found a course through the Piping Industry Apprenticeship Board called Piping Opportunities for Women being offered on Annacis Island.

“Who would have thought I would love construction?”

Binning: 16 driving prohibitions From page 1 Later, Crown prosecutor Crighton Pike read Raminder’s victim statement on his behalf, in which he said “our family foundation has been broken and my heart has been broken.” Varinder Badh, whose injuries were so serious she did not learn of her parents’ deaths until two weeks after they died, said she has since become “a shell of her former self” and continues to suffer constant physical reminders, including hearing loss and migraines. Though the crash occurred in 2008, Binning was not arrested until 2010, and even then, the court heard, denied he was driving the car. Pike said police matched his DNA with blood found on an airbag. Pike also detailed cellphone calls Binning made to friends and family shortly after the crash. He never did use his phone to call 911, Pike noted. Ravinder Binning Binning’s trial was to begin two weeks ago, but instead, he pleaded guilty to two counts of dangerous driving causing death, one count of dangerous driving causing bodily harm and one count of failure to stop at the scene of an accident. The plea came nearly four years after the incident. The court heard Tuesday that between 2002 and 2009, Binning accumu-

lated 16 driving prohibitions, many of them involving alcohol. In January he was sentenced in a separate case that happened just months after the Badhs were killed, on the same stretch of road, where he was caught driving drunk, sped away from police, then crashed into a fence and attempted to physically fight an officer before being arrested. Binning received 16 months probation, a fine and was banned from driving for 18 months in relation to that incident. After Binning’s apology on Tuesday, Pike said it was clear the young man simply doesn’t get it. The Badh family agreed. “He did it to himself,” said Varinder. “So if his name is being dragged through the mud, that’s his fault. For him to say that... it’s weak.” Defence lawyer Ian Donaldson said his client’s “heartfelt” apology showed he’s accepted responsibility for what he’s done. While the Crown has asked for a five-year sentence in a federal prison and a lifetime driving ban, Donaldson said jail time of around three Rupi Badh years was more appropriate, with a three-year driving ban. Judge Harris was scheduled to deliver his sentence today (March 15). His decision will be posted online at surreyleader.com as soon as it is available. sreynolds@surreyleader.com

“When you put fully trained police officers in a transit environment and restrict their work to transit properties, they realize fairly quickly that transit crime and disorder work is not that interesting for a police officer,” he said. That can lead to transit officers looking further afield from transit lines for crime, worsening the “confusion over jurisdictional boundaries.” Meanwhile, he said, other police forces sometimes “refuse to take the call” because of the existence of 167-officer Transit Police. Since the report was filed, Edmonton’s deputy chief, Neil Dubord, was appointed chief officer of the Transit Police, filling a post that had been vacant since September 2010. Dubord rejects the report’s depiction of Transit Police, adding it would make no sense to scrap the force and switch to having individual RCMP detachments and local police forces share the duty of patrolling transit lines. Doing so would mean “varying levels of consistency of police service” as passengers pass through multiple police jurisdictions. “The Transit Police provide that standard consistency of police service,” he said. Dubord said there is no confusion over jurisdiction – local police have the authority to handle whichever cases they want in transit areas and dispatchers coordinate the response. Transit Police have no homicide squad, for example, and other serious crimes are often handled by other police. As a result, Dubord said, local officers handle half of transitrelated violent crime. Transit Police handle 67 per cent of property crime on the system and 92 per cent of transitNeil Dubord related drug crime. Transit Police spend $29 million a year – funded mainly by TransLink fares, gas taxes and property tax – and the force’s budget is slated to rise to $35 million by 2014 and $42 million by 2021. Meanwhile, Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman is demanding the release of a separate audit of Transit Police conducted by Vancouver Police. Dubord said the review findings will be made public in the months ahead but is in draft form now. Bateman said TransLink should get no more tax dollars until it scraps the force, which he argues will be mostly irrelevant once SkyTrain fare gates are installed, eliminating officers’ main job of writing fare evasion tickets. “The Transit Police should be disbanded and local police forces should be given back full jurisdiction over SkyTrain lines in their community,” he said.

Surrey sawmill cutting shifts due to log shortage Asian log buyers out-bidding B.C. mills by Tom Fletcher B.C. FORESTS Minister Steve Thomson plans to visit a Surrey-based forest company next week to discuss a shift in log export policy that producers say is diverting more B.C. logs to Asian buyers willing to pay up to twice as much as B.C. mills are offering. Thomson was peppered with questions in the legislature for a second day Wednesday about his ministry overruling its Timber Export Advisory Committee (TEAC) and allowing log exports despite an offer from Teal Jones Group to buy the logs for its B.C. mills. Teal Jones Chief Financial Officer Hanif Karmally said Wednesday the company is ramping down production and shifts due to a lack of log supply. It could put another 100 to 115 people to work if it had more logs, particularly to feed its small log mill. Teal Jones’ Surrey operation is the largest lumber producer on the B.C. coast, with a large log mill and shake mill

A shift in B.C.’s log export policy is impacting a local mill’s production.

in addition to the small log mill it opened in 2003 after a $30-million investment. Total coastal log exports increased to a record 5.87 million cubic meters in 2011, up from 3.86 million in 2010, according to forest ministry figures. That includes logs exported from private land, which are regulated by Ottawa. About 20 per cent of logs from Crown land in coastal B.C. are going to export. Thomson told reporters the TEAC changed its policy on how it declares logs as surplus to domestic needs, and how it calculates the domestic

market value. Cowichan Valley NDP MLA Bill Routley told the legislature that Nanaimo-based Coastland Wood Industries as well as Teal Jones is seeing a log shortage. “I’ve been told by mill managers that more B.C. mills will be gone if this level of raw log exports continues,” Routley said. Truck Loggers’ Association (TLA) Executive Director Dave Lewis says B.C. has restricted coastal log exports for decades, but it has not solved the industry’s basic problems. “Domestic buyers can only afford to pay $60 for a log that costs $78 to

harvest,” Lewis said. The TLA organized a forum on log exports to counter criticism of log exports. “To put things very bluntly from a Terracearea perspective, if log exports were banned today, we might as well close the doors and throw away the keys,” said Bill Sauer of the North West Loggers Association. Teal Jones co-owner Dick Jones said his company is not averse to log exports provided the rules are followed, and TEAC decides if logs are offered at fair market value and declared surplus.

Heartfelt thanks to a caring community No more IN THIS age of a million distractions, I am

heartened by the thoughtfulness of those who continue to come together for the sake of others. Two recent fundraising events remind me of this. On March 8 at South Surrey Arena, two high school teams played each other while also honouring the memory of a longtime sports volunteer who passed away in February. Orga-

nizers of the Glenn Zwick Memorial Game collected donations for our hospital as a tribute to him. A day later, students at Queen Elizabeth Secondary held their Roots and Rhythms fundraising show. It’s an annual event organized by the students, who plan the event, sell tickets, and perform on stage so they can contribute to the hospital.

They are the latest examples of groups giving their time in support of the overall community. Thank you to all who took part in these events and the numerous others that occur regularly in our wonderful city. Jane Adams President and CEO Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation

Creative alternatives to tolls, tax I HEAR so much about tolling the

bridges in Metro Vancouver. I don’t see that it has been very well thought out so far. If people were able to pay a flat fee for six months or a year at a time, they would be very inclined to use the bridges as much as possible in order to feel they are getting their money’s worth. This could be done by phoning in with your credit or debit card, which would save some trees. (Sending out bills to people for $3.95 is so wasteful in my opinion). The amount you pay could be based on how many bridges you would use regularly. If there was a need to detour occasionally, to avoid accidents or to do errands, that could be included in the fee. If the licence was found to be using a “not included in your fee” bridge often, then an additional amount could be added when your sixmonth or one-year fee time span was up. We need to get people on board with using these new bridges or what is the point of building them? People just want to feel they are getting a fair deal. Wendy Cope, Delta

MONDAY, WITH the power out at

traffic intersections, local police were more concerned about issuing traffic violations than enhancing safety. The traffic lights at 24 Avenue and 160 and 161 Street were not working and three police cars hid on the side streets in order to nail drivers not fully stopping for these intersections. I contend that safety could have been enhanced more effectively with less police if two of these marked cars were positioned at the intersection to draw attention to the dangerous situation. Clearly, writing tickets is the higher priority. This sting worked so well that I wouldn’t be surprised if the police enjoyed the opportunity to issue so many tickets in such a short time. What’s next, when coffers are down, police will be controlling the power to traffic lights? Seriously, I just hope nobody gets hurt in an accident while the police are hiding out to catch the next offender. John Evoy

A pair of Leader letter writers suggest innovative ways to encourage drivers to use new bridges and discourage politicians from implementing a road use levy.

Here’s betting this is a good idea WHY NOT have a monthly lot-

tery of all active B.C. licence plate numbers – a plate number

drawn monthly. If you want to enter, buy a ticket at a lotto retailer and TransLink gets the usual percentage of the ticket money. I’ll leave it to the lotto experts to determine the

price of tickets and payouts. Maybe then we can forget another goofy road tax. Lawrence Burrus Surrey

Bill 22 makes the courts irrelevant ONE OF the most important aspects of Bill 22 goes well beyond the B.C. Public Sector Employees Association and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, and even education in general. Bill 22 makes the courts irrelevant. After a 10-year legal battle, the B.C. Supreme Court declared sections of Bills 27 and 28 to be unconstitutional. Bill 22 repeals Bill 27 and 28 to meet the ruling of the court, but then simultaneously retroactively re-enacts the same provisions, backdated 10 years. If this stands, then the courts can no longer effectively support the constitution because if the court rules something to be unconstitutional, the government just has to repeatedly perform its repeal/ re-enact trick to render any decision of the court against it moot. Instead of fulfilling the role of providing checks and balances to the legislature, the courts merely become the enforcement arm of the legislature. This is nothing short of a naked power grab of unprecedented proportions.

power to them

Teachers truly care MY HEART goes out to the teachers

of B.C. They are in a no-win situation. The so-called “negotiations” they entered into back in the fall were rigged from the beginning. How dare the government call them “negotiations” when they weren’t allowed to bargain wages and benefits, but were told from the beginning to take zero. What other employees would be willing to spend a year bargaining for nothing? I feel the teachers of B.C. truly care for our children. They want to improve the learning conditions in their classes by increasing the amount of time they can spend with each child by controlling class sizes and the number of special needs children they enrol. As I understand it, the danger of Bill 22 is that it removes all limits on the number of special needs children in a class and it removes the limit of enrolled students in all classes except for primary classes. How is this improving education? It’s fine if the classes were taught lecture-style, but

we want individualized instruction for our children. It’s time to take a stand with the teachers. Support your child’s teacher... support your child. Pearl Wong, Surrey

Teachers trying to better the lives of children THERE HAS been a lot of reporting

over the past months, some of it in favour of the teachers’ union and some in favour of the government. Front and centre in most reports are financial costs to various options proposed by both sides. As a taxpayer I am cognizant of the level of taxation and the potential effect these options will have on my bottom line. What astonishes me however, is the level of disrespect for the average, everyday teacher who in the majority of situations, demonstrates compassion, nurturing, and the knowledge, skills and abilities to provide a sound education to your children and that of your neighbour’s children. As a former teacher and current

parent of two children in the school system, I have nothing but praise for the work that I witness being done, by not only my children’s teachers but by the rest of the staff at their school. There appears to be a belief that teachers are “in it for the money,” and while financial considerations are important, it’s more than that. These dedicated providers actually care about your children. They spend more time with your children, in some cases, than you do. They develop a bond with them which lasts a lifetime and they will think about your children well after they have left their classroom, hoping that life has been kind to them. How do I know this? Because I still do... and it’s been over a decade since I was last a teacher. This labour dispute is contentious and will likely remain adversarial, but let’s not forget that the people we trust with our children are just that, people who are trying to better the lives of the children in their care.

Neat litter is still litter TO PET owners: I guess I could

refer to you as “responsible” pet owners (although I use the term lightly) when you take the time to pick up your dog’s feces at the Kennedy Trail Park. However, do you think you could possibly find a waste receptacle to dispose of the neatly tied little baggie and dispose of it? I mean really, you take the time to scoop it up and put it in a, what I am assuming is a non-biodegradable baggie, and just leave it lying in the park. Gee, maybe I should just leave my neatly rolled and taped up child’s diaper in the park. I mean after all I did make it “neat” litter. Susanne Thomson

Surrey man shot, killed while robbing grow-op Police called to shooting in Aldergrove by Monique Tamminga MORE THAN 590 pot plants were seized from the Aldergrove home where Langley’s first murder of 2012 took place last Friday night. Two men have been arrested and charged for the marijuana grow operation. They made their first appearances in court this week. Abbotsford’s Craig Challenger, 27, and Surrey resident Taylor Mears, 32, are both charged with production of a controlled substance in connection to a grow op in a home in the 900 block of 272 Street. Both men have been released and are expected again in Surrey Provincial Court on March 26. Challenger doesn’t appear to have any criminal background. Mears, however, was convicted of possession of a controlled in 2000 in White Rock. It was last Friday

night that Surrey resident Korey Tyler Kelly, 25, was shot to death while attempting to rob a grow op that the two men are now charged with cultivating. It doesn’t appear there were any other people at the Aldergrove home. They were interviewed as persons of interest in the crime but have not been charged in connection to the murder of Kelly. No arrests have been made for Langley’s first homicide of the year. Langley RCMP’s drug section went into the Aldergrove grow op home the day after the murder. They dismantled a grow op of more than 590 plants, said Langley RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Holly Marks. The drug section only focused on the grow op so she didn’t know if other evidence was seized from the home. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team

believe Kelly, along with two associates attempted to rob the grow op at 272 Street. That’s when Kelly was shot multiple times. Kelly’s associates managed to get the bleeding and unconscious man into the backseat of their car and drive away, calling 911 in the process, said IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Pound. Police officers en route were flagged down by Kelly’s associates. The victim was taken by ambulance but died on the way to hospital. Kelly has a history of

Surrey mayor gives annual State of the City address by Kevin Diakiw MAYOR DIANNE Watts

delivered her State of the City Address to a packed ballroom at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Tuesday afternoon. Watts began her seventh annual address by thanking her colleagues who sit on several city committees, and outlined several policy initiatives, both currently in place and in the works. Then she got on with the theme of the speech, which was “Building a City from the Ground Up.” Watts pointed out that Surrey has experienced tremendous growth over the years, with most recent census figures showing the city’s population has soared by 18.6 per cent in the past five years – more than three times the national average. Representing its own challenges is the fact one-third of that population is under 19 years old.

She noted Surrey will find out this week whether the city has won an IBM Smarter Cities Challenge, which would bring Surrey $50 million worth of IBM expertise to help make better use of data. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Anesthesiologists may withdraw service, delay surgeries by Jeff Nagel B.C. HEALTH Minister

Mike de Jong is accusing the B.C. Anesthesiologists’ Society of “unprofessional” and “unethical” behaviour by threatening to withdraw service next month, potentially disrupting thousands of scheduled surgeries. The society, which de Jong said represents only a small number of anesthesiologists, repeated its ultimatum Tuesday that it will withdraw service for non-urgent elective surgeries starting April 2 unless it gets a seat at the bargaining table in talks between the province and the B.C. Medical Association (BCMA). “I think it’s unfortunate any time any group of professionals, in this case doctors, threaten to hold patients hostage for a dispute that is at the end of the day about money,” de Jong said. “The average full-time anesthetist today earns $340,000 a year, with very little in the way of overhead by virtue of the circumstances in which they practice.” De Jong said his ministry has contacted the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons and asked it to remind individual anesthesiologists “what their professional and ethical obligations are” as well as the consequences for any service withdrawal. The province will also

cannot accept a situation where they’re denied access to a process that could settle their issues. He said the BCAS represents 80 to 90 per cent of the 400 practicing anesthesiologists in B.C., compared to less than 50 per cent who are BCMA members. Orfaly said the province cannot override the majority and allow the BCMA to act as bargaining agent against their wishes. The society has previously argued B.C. could open more operating rooms and reduce surgery waits if it was willing to increase the pay and supports needed to attract more anesthesiologists to the province. Anesthesiologists claim pay rates here are half what they are in some other parts of Canada. According to a statement issued by the BCMA, an extra $2.5 million was directed to obstetric anesthesia at three hospitals – Victoria General, Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian – after the BCAS staged a media campaign to embarrass the government that focused on a stillbirth at Victoria General. A third party review later found care was provided within time guidelines and anesthesia coverage was not a factor in the stillbirth.

A THREE-WEEK postponement of the Missing Women Inquiry leaves the commission even less time to finish its probe of how police mishandled their investigation of serial killer Robert Pickton. Commissioner Wally Oppal on Monday announced the hearings will be suspended until April 2 while a new lawyer is found to represent aboriginal interests before the inquiry. Robyn Gervais, a Metis lawyer, had represented First Nations but resigned last week, citing the dominant influence of the large number of lawyers acting for RCMP and Vancouver Police officers. Oppal had planned to wrap up hearings by the end of April and must hand down his findings by June 30. A replacement for Gervais has been identified and should be in place soon, but Oppal said the new lawyer will need time to prepare. He called Gervais’ departure a surprise but said it’s crucial the inquiry have a representative for aboriginal interests since many of Pickton’s victims were aboriginal, as are many vulnerable residents of Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside to this day. Oppal has repeatedly urged inquiry participants to minimize the time required as a series of delays and lengthy cross-examinations ate up time. Attorney General Shirley Bond said she expects Oppal to meet the June deadline, which was already extended six months. “We’ve been at this, it will be a year-and-a-half, and at this point we are in excess of $4 million of taxpayers’ money,” she said. “So while I don’t want to rush the process, I think there is a reasonable expectation that this work should be completed in June.” Bond said a balance must be found between the need for an appropriate length of time and for fiscal

responsibility, given the cost of the inquiry will continue to rise. “While it is an important opportunity to hear aboriginal voices and the context for aboriginal people, the major reason for this inquiry is to look at what happened with the police in British Columbia.” Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs said it will be virtually impossible for a new lawyer to “parachute into” the inquiry. He said the deadline threatens to sideline the remaining aboriginal witnesses because many police officers must still testify before time runs out. Phillip accused the government of irreparably harming the inquiry last summer when it rejected Oppal’s request for broader funding for lawyers to represent First Nations and other vulnerable groups, causing most of them to pull out. “It’s grossly misguided and misplaced priorities on the part of the premier in my view,” he said. “Because of the shortsightedness on the part of the provincial government and the premier’s office, the inquiry has completely unravelled and lost all credibility,” Phillip said. “This is not about fiscal prudence, this is about missing and murdered women, the vast majority of whom were aboriginal.” Much testimony has explored how both the VPD and RCMP failed to target Pickton more intensively after he nearly killed a woman who escaped from his Port Coquitlam farm in early 1997. Officers also got repeated tips that Pickton could be killing sex-trade workers from the Downtown Eastside in 1998. He was finally arrested in February, 2002 and was eventually convicted on six counts of seconddegree murder, although the DNA of 33 victims was found on his farm and Pickton boasted to an undercover cop he killed 49 women.

Deputy Fire Chief Jon Caviglia confirmed, however, that crews were able to eliminate “a whole bunch of nasty products” as being the source. “We suspect it may just be manure or something that mixed in with something that caused a foam,” he said. Officials with the B.C. Ministry of Environment’s communications officer Suntanu Dalal said “the ministry has been advised that… no hazardous chemical issues were noted.” Spills may be reported at anytime by calling 1-800663-3456.

Healthy food is too pricey for poor: report

Wills & Estate Planning No legal jargonâ&#x20AC;Śwe talk to you in plain language.

Families forced to scrimp on nutrition

MANTHORPE LAW OFFICES (604) 582-7743 102, 15399 - 102A Avenue, Surrey (2 blocks from Guildford)

by Jeff Nagel ROSALYN MANTHORPE

The sooner youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re mortgage free, the more you can get out of life. Life adds up. Your finances should too.

A FAMILY on welfare would have to

spend as much as 47 per cent of their household income to put healthy food on the table, according to a new report on the cost of nutritious food. The B.C. chapter of the Dieticians of Canada pegs the cost of providing a family of four with a nationally defined basket of nutritious food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; basic staples and produce but no pre-packaged meals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; at an average of $868 per month in B.C. That monthly cost rises to $944 in the Vancouver Coastal health region, while itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slightly lower at $851 in the Fraser Health region, according to the report Cost of Eating in British Columbia 2011. It would eat up 15 per cent of the $67,200 median income for a typical B.C. family of four and a much higher proportion for those in or near poverty. Single people on income assistance and even a family of four on a lower earned income would pay at least a third of their income, the report found. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave enough to pay the typical cost of housing, it found, estimating many welfare families would face a $100 to $300 gap each month if they tried to buy whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nutritious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People end up using food banks and a lot of free food services,â&#x20AC;? said Kristen Yarker, executive director of the B.C. dieticians group.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;They end up spending a lot of their time accessing those and lining up, which isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a great solution.â&#x20AC;? Others go without, she said, or opt for cheaper, less healthy food options. The report found the nutritious food basket price hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t changed since 2009, but is up nearly 40 per cent since 2001, when it stood at $626. Meanwhile, Yarker noted, housing, gasoline, utilities and other competing costs have steadily climbed, leaving less in household budgets to devote to good food. Poor nutrition can spell trouble for children in school, harm pregnancies for expectant mothers and hurt productivity of adult workers. Over the long term, the report said, poor food increases rates of diabetes and heart disease, ultimately shortening lives and costing the health care system more money. Dieticians, nutritionists and volunteers surveyed prices in grocery stores across B.C. to calculate the food basket cost in each region. B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minimum wage rises to $10.25 an hour in May. But the dieticians group is calling for a series of further reforms to help the poor. It wants B.C. to raise welfare rates, add more affordable housing, enact a living wage policy, pursue a poverty reduction strategy and develop sustainable food systems that can eventually replace food banks.

ping the size of a new waste-toenergy plant it intends to build to help consume the region’s garbage and stop landfilling it in the Interior. The regional district now says the new plant will need to process only 250,000 to 400,000 tonnes of garbage per year, down from a previous estimate of 500,000 tonnes. The change would make the intended plant closer in size to

Metro’s existing garbage incinerator in south Burnaby, which burns just less than 300,000 tonnes per year. Metro board chair Greg Moore said the decision to downsize the project reflects a decline in garbage generated in the region from 1.3 million tonnes in 2007 to just one million last year. “It’s quite remarkable the amount of tonnage decrease we’ve had,” he said. He attributes the drop to a combination of a weaker

economy, higher garbage tipping fees, better public education on how to recycle and compost, and the adoption of curbside organic waste pick-up in more than half of local cities. The decline in garbage flow is projected to continue in 2012. Metro staff intend to adjust the final capacity to ensure the plant isn’t overbuilt. Critics of the solid waste strategy have argued Metro could ramp up recycling enough to avoid building a new incinerator altogether.

Metro officials maintain the new waste-to-energy (WTE) plant is needed and that it will not necessarily be an incinerator. The region must consider all possible technologies, including newer ones like gasification or anaerobic digestion – methods that promise near-zero emissions with potential to produce biofuels. But Metro has backpedalled on an idea to ensure an emerging technology gets at least a chunk of the waste. See INCINERATOR / Page 20

FUNDING FOR STUDENTS, NOT FOR WAGE HIKES. The BCTF is demanding a 15 per cent wage hike and other beneﬁts that would cost $2 billion and raise taxes for BC families. Virtually all other public sector unions have settled for no wage increases. It’s unacceptable that schools are disrupted and that students and their families are inconvenienced over an unreasonable salary demand in difﬁcult economic times. The union is making claims and demands that simply don’t add up.

BCTF CLAIMS AND DEMANDS

FACT

The union wants more paid time outside the classroom – sick leave for teachers on call, expanded bereavement and discretionary leave.

The government wants more time for teacher training and to ensure that Pro-D days really are for professional development.

The union says all teaching positions should be selected on the basis of seniority.

The government supports seniority but qualiﬁcations must also count so that math teachers teach math, and science teachers teach science.

The union says that teachers who perform poorly in evaluations will be dismissed – ‘one strike and you’re out’.

The government wants to support teacher improvement through a standardized evaluation process.

The union says that government refuses to negotiate.

There has been over a year of negotiations and 78 full bargaining sessions.

The union says that class size limits have been eliminated.

Class size limits will remain in place on all grades across BC.

The union says that BC has 700 fewer special needs teachers.

2100 new teaching assistants have been hired since 2001. And, with a new $165 million Learning Improvement Fund, we will hire more.

It’s time to focus on what matters most in education – BC’s students. That’s why we are focused on per-student funding which is at an all time high, not on wage increases. We all want to do more to make BC’s education system even better. It’s the driving force behind BC’s Education Plan that teachers, parents and students are helping to shape. Teachers care about their students. Parents care about their children’s future.

Incinerator: Not a given in bidding process: Hunt From page 18

member of Metro’s Zero Waste committee. He said the move to a smaller-scale plant reduces the efficiency advantage for incineration, improving the odds for other providers. Moore said alternative technologies have continued to improve, so he is now less concerned about the need to give them special treatment. Metro aims to open the bidding to build a new waste-fired plant this summer and shortlist the proponents by the end of the year. Those firms are expected to have a pro-

Moore had previously favoured reserving some waste-to-energy capacity for those technologies so they aren’t simply outbid by incinerator proposals, thought to be cheaper and more efficient. That idea of two separate calls for bids has now been scrapped – all bidders will compete in a single request for proposals that considers all technologies together. Metro directors deny that means the fix is now in for incineration. “Not at all,” said Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt, a

posed site packaged with their technology. And Moore said he believes most of the likely contenders have already chosen their sites for a new incinerator or other WTE plant. Other directors worry that when those locations are revealed they will prove to be inefficiently located or too controversial. Hunt said he wishes Metro would first decide on the technology and then determine the appropriate site, with cities getting more say in the location. He argues a WTE

plant close to a dense urban area – perhaps Surrey’s City Centre – will be better placed to make money pumping heat into nearby buildings than a more remote site. Surrey could be a partner, he said, because the city can ensure development uses a waste-fired district heating network. “I’m concerned these companies may sign up some industrial land somewhere and waste a bunch of time and energy on something that could be very counterproductive,” Hunt said.

Everything you ever needed to know about buying a new home

GVHBA to hold 18th annual seminar The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association will present its 18th annual First-Time Home Buyers Seminar on Tuesday, April 3 at the Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey. Featuring guest speakers like senior market analyst for the Canada Mortgage and House Corporation Robyn Adamache and Wendy Acheson, vice-president and registrar at the B.C. branch of the Homeowner Protection Office, potential buyers will be able to learn about what home type best matches their needs, which location is best for them and what their mortgage options are, among many other topics. “Our experts will help first-time

buyers consider all available options and important issues before they take that critical first step onto the property ladder,” says GVHBA President and CEO Peter Simpson. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the seminar will take place between 7 and 9 p.m. That first hour will give people plenty of time to check out the builder displays and other home-related products and services, Simpson says. Participation is free, but attendees are asked to bring something for the Surrey Food Bank. Pre-registration is required. To preregister, check out www.gvhba.org or call 778-565-4288.

very long time.” The bathrooms continue the luxurious theme with their own sets of composite stone countertops and Italian cabinets. In partnership with the City of Burnaby, Intracorp is aiming to turn Beresford Street into a vibrant “Great Street,” Lai says. It will eventually feature extra-wide sidewalks, tree-lined streets and outdoor seating at streetfront cafes. “Designed by Richard Henry Architects and NSDA Architects, Silver

will incorporate a series of street-level townhomes and retail intended to bring new life to Beresford Street,” she says. Although the development hasn’t yet been released for sale, interested buyers are already contacting Intracorp. “There’s a lot of interest,” Lai says, “and it pretty much covers the whole (of) Greater Vancouver including our loyal past Intracorp purchasers.” Homes at Silver start in the mid$250,000s. For more information and to pre-register, check out www. silverliving.ca.

Becoming part of a dynamic neighbourhood

Breathing the rare air at Intracorp’s Silver by Kerry Vital

The Metrotown area of Burnaby continues to be a popular place to live, and with the addition of Intracorp’s newest development, Silver, it is about to get even more popular. “Getting into this neighbourhood early is the best opportunity to see real and sustained growth in your investment,” says Intracorp sales associate May Lai. “As the future unfolds, this dynamic neighbourhood will become even more desirable than it already is.” Silver is just steps from the Metrotown SkyTrain station, and within walking distance of great restaurants, shopping and recreation, including Central Park. Located right at the corner of Silver Avenue and Beresford Street, the 38-storey tower will offer one-, two- and two-bedroom and den suites in a variety of floorplans that include condos, flats and townhomes. Each will include its own large private cantilevered balcony. “You’ll be able to breathe some pretty rare air indeed,” says Lai. One of the most exciting parts about Silver is the inclusion of the Control4 home automation system. “It’s pretty amazing,” Lai says. “From your smartphone or tablet device, you will have the ability to control many of the functions within your home. The system will allow you to control the lighting, your music and your TV.”

“

This ... neighbourhood will become even more desirable than it already is,” says sales associate May Lai. The Control4 system can be expanded to control the temperature in your home as well as your security system, among other things. The kitchens at Silver could almost be considered works of art, with stainless-steel appliances, quartz countertops and Armony Cucine Italian cabinets. A thoughtful little detail is the aluminum lining in the kitchen and bathroom sink cabinets which will prevent damage from moisture and chemicals. “The exterior finishes are made of technologically advanced European textured-wood laminate and highgloss lacquer,” says Lai. “(It’s) easy to maintain, never fades and will last a

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

“

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

WE MAKE IT EASY TO FIND A HOME THAT’S BUILT TO SAVE. NOT ALL NEW HOMES ARE BUILT WITH ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN MIND. That’s why it pays to look for a Power Smart New Home Builder when shopping for your next home. Power Smart New Homes are independently rated EnerGuide 80 or higher, which means they use at least 30% less energy than an average new home. And since they’re built the smart way, they stay cooler in the summer and cozier in the winter—all while saving you money for years to come.

Surrey Eagles head coach Matt Erhart was named the BC Hockey League’s Coastal Conference Coach of the Year Monday,. Erhart, a resident of Clayton. The team’s second line is anchored by former Eagle Richard Vanderhoek.

“Both teams have a lot of scoring depth on the top two lines,” Erhart said. “But every year, there’s a guy or two on a third

line or a fourth line who steps up that maybe you don’t expect – that’s the beauty of the playoffs. “It’s going to be a great series.”

One loss drops Crusaders to third place Young high school basketball team wins three of four games at B.C. tournament by Rick Kupchuk MOST HIGH school basketball teams with a

starting lineup of four Grade 10s would be pleased with a third place finish at the provincial championships. But while acknowledging it is quite an accomplishment, the Holy Cross Crusaders feel they could have done even more at the Senior AA girls tournament last week in Kamloops. “You can look back on it and say it was a good week,” said Crusaders head coach Steve Beauchamp. “But there’s still a bitter taste. We felt we had a shot.” The Crusaders posted three lopsided wins at the 16-team tournament, but the one loss – a 76-72 setback against the Lambrock Park Pride in Friday night’s semifinal contest – knocked them out of championship

contention. The Crusaders battled from behind all night long, trailing 23-18, 43-38 and 58-54 at the quarter breaks. “Lambrick Park had a couple of big girls, they were six-two or six-three, so we changed our defence,” said Beauchamp. “But I think it got the girls out of synch, so we said forget about it and went back to zone defence. “Then we got the lead with about four minutes to go. They only play five players so they looked like they were tiring and we were taking over. But we had four possessions where we didn’t do anything.” Down 71-69 with a little more than a minute to play, Amy Sprangers hit a three-point shot to put Holy Cross in front with just 23 seconds to go. Lambrick Park answered with a trey of their own, then stole the ball and scored on a

lay-up with six seconds to go to put the game out of reach. Rachel Beauchamp was a standout for the third straight game for the Crusaders, scoring 20 points and adding 11 rebounds. Michelle Bos also tallied 20 points, with Michelle Zacharkuk adding 15, Alli Buck contributing 13 and Alysha Bennett netting 10. Holy Cross was back in form Saturday, clinching third place with a 76-40 victory over the Vernon Panthers. A pair of Grade 10 Crusaders starters had double doubles, with Beauchamp netting 25 points and 10 rebounds, and Bos tallying 22 points and 11 boards. The Crusaders were in command from the start, leading 16-9 after one quarter and extending the lead to 35-20 by halftime. Reaching the final four was not a difficult task.

SECTION C0-ORDINATOR: RICK KUPCHUK (PHONE 604-575-5335)

The Crusaders, ranked third in the province, cruised past the Nechako Valley Viqueens of Vanderhoof 74-30 Wednesday afternoon. Grade 10 guard Sprangers led the winners with 19 points and 18 rebounds, while Beauchamp netted 21 points. Bos also scored in double figures with 14 points. The Crusaders whipped the Wellington Wildcats of Nanaimo 56-27 in a quarterfinal contest Thursday night. Beauchamp scored 27 points and grabbed 14 rebounds, with Bos adding 14 points and nine rebounds. Bos was named to the all-tournament team, and Sprangers was an honourable mention. Crusaders players and coaches were surprised Rachel Beauchamp was not among the tournament award winners, despite leading her team in scoring (93 points) and rebounds (46) in the four games played.

Peace Arch hosts Delta Cup Youth soccer event at South Surrey Athletic Park by Nick Greenizan MORE THAN 400 local soccer players competed at the Delta Cup, which was hosted by Peace Arch Soccer Club March 3 at South Surrey Athletic Park. Even the rain held off. “It wasn’t too bad at all, just a little windy, that’s it. It was a good day,” Peace Arch Soccer Club president Brandt Watkins said.

The Delta Cup featured 28 teams – and more than 400 players – from throughout the Delta Youth Soccer Association – which includes Peace Arch, Ladner, North Delta and Tsawwassen youth associations. In addition to the Delta Cup, which was for under-11 to under-14 players, a windup for Peace Arch’s mini and micro divisions (under-5 to under0) was also held at the park.

Nation’s best honoured Surrey United named Team of the Year

by Rick Kupchuk

Erin Cebula, BC Children’s Hospital Spokesperson

WINNING IS nothing new to Surrey United. The dominant club in women’s soccer, United has won eight consecutive Provincial Cup trophies. In that span, United has also claimed a pair of national championships, the most recent coming last October in Quebec. And last Thursday in Richmond, the team added another honour. It was named the 2011 Sport BC Team of the Year. “2011 was truly was an amazing year put together by an amazing group of players,” said Jeff Clarke, Surrey United Technical Director and head coach of the women’s team, “To say they are a special group would be an understatement and their achievements have resonated with all of the great members at Surrey United Soccer Club, espe-

cially all the young female players that follow their successes. I’m so proud of all of them.” United won everything possible in 2011, claiming Metro Women’s Soccer League championships in Premier Division play as well as in cup competition. They won the Provincial Cup trophy to defend their B.C. championship, then won the national title by winning four of five games at a tournament in Brossard, Quebec. “It was a special moment for us to accept this honour on behalf of Surrey United,” said United captain Kate Qually, who was accompanied by teammates Rachael Pelat and Megan Blaker when accepting the award at a Sport BC gala at the River Rock Theatre. “This really is the best club in the country and the players are pleased to be able to compete and represent SU at every opportunity.”

Cronin excels at IPFW

Hawks go two-and-out

Two weekly awards from Summit League by Rick Kupchuk NORTH DELTA native Courtney

Cronin joined an elite group earlier this week. A member of the IPFW (Indiana University – Purdue/Fort Wayne) Mastodons, Cronin was named Summit League Player of the week March 4. On Monday, the senior won Pitcher of the Week honours, becoming just the fifth player in League history to be named a Player of the Week and Pitcher of the Week in the same season, and just the third to do it in back-to-back weeks. Cronin excelled with the bat at the Marshall Invitational tournament in Huntington, West Virginia March 2-3, going eight-for-14 with six

doubles and a home run, driving in nine runs in four games to earn the Player of the Week award. Last weekend, she allowed just five hits and five walks while striking out 22 batters in 19 innings, not giving up a run to extend her shutout streak to 24 innings. She threw three consecutive shutouts and earned her eighth Pitcher of the Week honour in her four-year career at IPFW. Cronin currently leads the Summit League with a 0.81 ERA, and has an 8-1 record with 52 strikeouts in 60.2 innings of work. She is also batting .250 on the season, with a team-high four home runs and 19 RBI’s, numbers that rank her second in the Summit League in each category.

Valley West team eliminated from MML playoffs by Rick Kupchuk A STRONG FINISH to the regu-

lar season lifted the Valley West Hawks into the postseason. But once there, the B.C Hockey Major Midget League team lasted just the minimum two games. The Hawks were swept in a best-of-three quarterfinal series by the third place Vancouver Chiefs last weekend, losing 4-3 Friday afternoon at Planet Ice in Coquitlam and 8-2 Saturday in Port Coquit-

lam. They had won their final four games to grab the last playoff position. After conceding the game’s first goal after less than two minutes of play Friday, Valley West took a 2-1 lead midway through the contest on goals by Ryan Rensby and Danton Heinen, both from Langley. The Chiefs drew even late in the second frame, took a onegoal lead early in the third, then added an insurance goal with two minutes to play. Heinen pulled Valley West to

within a goal with 93 seconds left on the clock. Valley West, comprised of players from Surrey, Cloverdale, Semiahmoo and Langley minor hockey associations, again conceded the game’s first goal Saturday only to take a 2-1 lead in the middle frame. Mitchell Friesen of Surrey and Langley’s Daniell Lange were the goal scorers. The Chiefs pulled even with three minutes left in the second, then buried the Hawks with six third period tallies.

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich Local owner Lucy Raymond has one hot filly on her hands with Phone Terror, two-for-two this year and winner of six in her eight-race career. With trainer-driver Serge Masse taking charge, Phone Terror was in command down the backstretch and won the $20,000 Muriel Fornwald Memorial Stakes last Sunday at Fraser Downs. The race was restricted to three and four-year-old B.C. owned, bred or sired fillies and mares that were non-winners of $30,000 lifetime by January 1, 2012. With the victory, Phone Terror’s career earnings have now reached $29,325. A couple of favourties took the elimination round of the Clarence (Sugar) Gagnon Memorial Stakes for three and four-year-old B.C. owned, sired and bred male pacers last Friday night. Sterling Cooper with Dave Hudon in the bike won the first $7,500 elimination for trainer-owner Greg Smith. In the second leg Kismyjet, just like Sterling Cooper, went wire-to-wire for Masse, the trainer-driver and also co-owner along with Jim Vinnell. Leading driver Jim Marino finished the cold and wet Friday night card over a sloppy track with four wins: Steve O ($5.00) in the second; Promise To Lynette ($5.50) in the fourth; Dontmakemebeg ($11.80) in the seventh and Major Indiscretion ($6.70) in the eighth. On a less pleasant note, driver Gerry Hudon was injured in a spill Friday at Northlands Park that left him in pretty rough shape. A frequent Fraser Downs performer and member of the popular Hudon standardbred family, Gerry and Gts Danielle were gapped off the gate at the start of the second race when Uptown Spirit and Kevin Sampson fell to the track. Hudon was unable to avoid the fallen horse and was thrown from the sulky when his collided with Uptown Spirit. According to Gerry’s brother Norm, the meet’s leading trainer and driver was transported by ambulance to Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton. Gerry suffered fractures to his L4 and L5 lumbar vertebrae (lower spine) as well as a concussion, pulled groin, broken ribs, bruised back and pulled ligament in his right thumb. Everyone at Fraser Downs wishes him a full and fast recovery. He is a talent that the industry needs back in action as soon as possible. djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC

Dhanji, a Johnston Heights Secondary student, placed seventh all around in the national youth group. Aidan Wilson in the Level Four group, Treyson Cerrato in Level Three, and Josh Hoven in Level Two were the other gold medals winners. The Surrey club combined its annual Invitational boys event with the 27th annual Carol Lenz Memorial, which attracted more than 600 athletes and roughly 1,000 spectators to the two-day event, also at the Guildford Recreation Centre. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Carol Lenz Memorial was a great start to the competitive season for many of the SGS women as well as a debut competition for some,â&#x20AC;? said Lisa Webb, and administrator with SGS. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The club and coaches applaud them for a job well done.â&#x20AC;?

Creating some Sacred Sounds

Songstress Heidi McCurdy directs choral and jazz performances next week by Alex Browne

eidi McCurdy is serious about song as a way of life. Long celebrated locally, on the Vancouver scene and even further afield as a singer-songwriter with a beautiful vocal sound and uniquely soulful touch, McCurdy has also established strong credits as a teacher and arts therapist through her Harmony Expressive Arts enterprise and her Music Together family program. Latterly, she’s added a further credit – the role of choral director with her own locally based Soul of the World Multicultural Choir. A celebration of the spring equinox by the choir, Sacred Sounds (March 20, 7 p.m. at the Semiahmoo Arts Studio, Centennial Arena Mel Edwards Building, 14600 North Bluff Rd.) is just one of the flowerings of McCurdy’s musical talent that will be on view this year. Fresh on the heels of participating in internationally acclaimed vocal improviser and teacher Rhiannon’s latest book and DVD project, Vocal

Heidi McCurdy directing the Soul of the World choir last year.

River, McCurdy was also selected to create a jazz version of a song for a huge Vancouver-based musical project, O World, which will be released to coincide with Earth Day (April 22). Sacred Sounds is a one-hour, by donation, concert that will showcase Soul of the World’s developing skills and repertoire with chants, blessing songs and universal prayers from around the world. Formed as the result of a grant project last year, the choir has already impressed many with its passion and musicality, under McCurdy’s careful but creative tutelage. Its most recent public performance, Jan. 29 at the White Rock Elks Hall, was honoured with a standing ovation. “It was the longest show so far – a full two sets,” said McCurdy. Even though choirs are subject by nature to some fluctuation in membership during their evolution, Soul of the World has developed a core team through its increasing number of public appearances. “We have about 15 to 20 people who come out regularly, and the choir had a lot of performances through last fall,” she said. “We’ve been really busy, but we’re at the point where we’re doing some actual fundraising to cover the costs of performing. We like to go to appear at events, having fun singing, and it’s great to develop all these songs, but we have to be creative to find ways that we can continue doing what we like to do.” As much as McCurdy challenges the members of her choir to master ambitious music drawn from multiple ethnic and cultural sources, she’s not averse to challenging her own abilities, as in the O World Project. Socially conscious videographer Randall Melnyk of RPM Infinity Productions took a previously unpublished song, O World, and invited musicians to reimagine and record it in a variety of different idioms – to, as McCurdy put it “build community and celebrate the diversity of human creativity. “I jumped at the chance,” she said.

While others created classic rock, acoustic folk-rock and classical pop versions, in McCurdy’s hands the alt-rock song became a jazz vehicle for her own voice, enhanced by a hand-picked group of stellar Vancouver-area jazz instrumentalists: Jodi Proznick (bass), Tilden Webb (piano), Mike Allen (tenor sax) and Nino Di Pasquale (drums). Although she has frequently arranged songs before for her own jazz and funk-oriented groups, McCurdy admits the O World Project pushed her out of a comfort zone rooted in her natural musical abilities. “I don’t have a lot of theory,” she said. “I do a lot by ear. I’m not a pianist or a bass player. I had to dig in and do some research, learn a lot of new jazz chords. “I’d come up with chords that sounded really great, but I had to figure out what they were. And as I learned different chords, they triggered a whole bunch of new writing ideas for me. I changed the chords and adapted the phrases. It was like a puzzle – I had to make it original.” McCurdy gives full credit to the Proznick, Webb, Allen and Di Pasquale, who were dedicated to making the track work and were generous with their expertise. “It was an amazing experience,” McCurdy said. “It was great listening to Tilden bring my ideas to life, and I gave Mike lots of room for a saxophone solo. He did a few different approaches to the solo as he was getting to know the song. We ended up recording about three different solos and I had to come in the next day and choose one. “I listened to them all with my jaw dropping. There came a point where I felt, this is too hard. I felt terrible about choosing one and cutting the others.” To see a video about the making of McCurdy’s version of O World, visit youtube.com and search “Heidi McCurdy O World.” For more information on upcoming concerts, visit www.heidimccurdy.com

unday, March 11 marked the one-year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami that struck northern Japan. The disaster, which left 15,000 people dead, prompted a global humanitarian effort, including at North Surrey Secondary, where students raised $3,700 during their annual 30 Hour Famine. The donation brought to $21,000 the total amount raised by the school since students have been participating in the 30 Hour Famine. World Vision’s Liz Wiebe and Mike Weickert stopped by North Surrey Secondary earlier this week to thank students for their contribution, and to show them the difference they made to the people of Japan. The World Vision presentation included a phone call from World Vision Japan’s Mai Kawaharada, who described in a live broadcast exactly how World Vision responded and continues to assist today. Kawaharada also took questions from students.

Delta Secondary School has been honoured with the 2011 B.C. Youth Gandhi Award. The award, presented by the Surrey Chapter of the B.C. Peace And Global Educators (PAGE), recognizes youth who have a passion for giving back to the community and a desire to make the world a better place. Madelene Van Beek was selected to receive the award because of her compassion for

others and her natural ability in a leadership role, which she hones by undertaking initiatives that bring understanding and acceptance to her school. “She strives to give so much of herself to others for the ‘greater good,’ ” said Julie Lymburner, one of Van Beek’s teachers. When Van Beek was in grade, 11 she volunteered her time each week to help a grade six student who was struggling socially and academically. Van Beek was able to offer a sympathetic ear, reliable support,

and trusted guidance as the two created art together at the youngster’s elementary school. Because of Van Beek’s support, the young student was able to move on to grade seven with newfound confidence. This school year, Van Beek re-introduced the Gay Straight Alliance club at her high school. The group meets once a week, providing a safe and welcoming place for students to discuss social issues. The goal is to create full acceptance of all youth and completely eliminate discrimination.

“Maddy’s open and positive spirit is contagious,” said Lymburner. Van Beek is also a writer and member of the Slam Poetry, Film, and Drama clubs. Last year, she placed second at the Provincial Poetry Slam Competition. Her poems address politics, societal norms and teen culture. Her film projects have tackled the subjects of bullying and racism. Van Beek was honoured with the Youth Gandhi Award in Vancouver.

Finding the ‘real’ Shamrock

Pay tribute to the plant associated with St. Patrick’s Day Day is the O. regnellii. It is a dandy houseplant with dozens of tiny white flowers that bloom persistently in spring and summer. Not really hardy outdoors, it makes a nice plant, however, for a sunny patio in summer. The secret to Brian Minter their care is to water them thoroughly, then let them dry out. The newest oxalis to appear in the marketplace is a very unique purple leafed variety called. O. triangularis ‘Heartbreaker.’ It is an absolute beauty with its soft pink flowers contrasting nicely with its purple foliage. Heartbreaker is not very Irish, but it certainly is attractive. One of the favourite shamrocks of most gardeners today is the ‘Iron Cross’ oxalis called O. deppi. This hardy little variety is a real beauty in light shade or sunny garden areas, and its rosy pink flowers make quite a showing. It may not be the real thing, but it is one of the best for our gardens.

ONCE IN a while it is nice to pay tribute to a plant that really only gets recognition one day of the year – the shamrock. It was originally chosen as Eire’s national emblem because of the legend that Saint Patrick used this plant to illustrate the Christian doctrine of the trinity. The shamrock has also been considered by the Irish as a symbol of good luck since earliest times. Each year as we near St. Patrick’s Day, we see a proliferation of shamrocks being sold as ‘the real thing,’ but in fact there is some dispute as to which variety is the authentic shamrock. The most common plant being sold as a shamrock is Trifolium repens, a type of white clover. According to my research, this particular plant is most widely accepted as the ‘real’ shamrock. Many seed companies, in fact, sell the seed as the ‘true Irish shamrock.’ They are usually sold in two-and-ahalf or four-inch pots around St. Patrick’s Day, and they make a fine little plant for a sunny windowsill. They can also be planted outdoors almost anywhere, but the tiny yellow flowers are not of great ornamental value. But don’t forget that old legend of good luck! A strong case can also be made for wood sorrel being the plant St. Patrick used. Oxalis acetosella is native to the British Isles and during Elizabethan times, was a popular culinary herb. The other hand, this hardy perennial herb makes a novel ground cover with bright green tri-leaves and solitary white flowers that bloom from April through July. The most commonly sold oxalis for St. Patrick’s

Glenys was an avid reader, took night school courses, gardened, square danced and learned to tap dance, polynesian dance and swim in her 60’s.
