SFU student shot to death at Central City

Maple Batalia, 19, gunned down Wednesday morning by Kevin Diakiw A YOUNG actress and model from

Maple Batalia, a student at SFU Surrey, was also an actress and a top-12 finalist in Central City Shopping Centre’s 2011 Model Search, the finale of which is scheduled for this Saturday (Oct. 1).

Surrey was shot dead on the third floor of a parkade at Central City near the Simon Fraser University campus early Wednesday morning. SFU student Maple Batalia, 19, was studying late with friends at SFU Surrey and left for her car after midnight. At about 1:10 a.m., police responded to several 911 calls of “multiple shots fired” in the parkade. Mounties arrived to find a young

woman “suffering from what can only be described as significant and multiple gunshot wounds,” said RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT). Two uniformed officers did everything they could to save her. She was transferred to hospital where she died. “Clearly, based on the evidence at the scene, this was an obvious homicide,” Thiessen said, adding there are 20 to 25 police officers now working on the case.

Police would not identify the victim, but the father of Batalia confirmed that it was her. Batalia was a top-12 finalist in Central City Shopping Centre’s 2011 Model Search, the finale of which is scheduled for this Saturday (Oct. 1). She also had a role in the movie Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules. By Wednesday afternoon, friends were posting condolences on social media sites. See POLICE / Page 3

Container tax idea gets push from Metro Region to explore alternate way to fund TransLink by Jeff Nagel THE IDEA of slapping a tax on every

shipping container that moves through local port terminals will be investigated in detail by Metro Vancouver. The regional board voted Friday to pursue the concept as a different mechanism to help fund TransLink – one that wouldn’t hit homeowners and motorists, unlike proposals to raise gas taxes or impose road pricing or a vehicle levy. “There are a lot of transport trucks rolling,” Metro board chair Lois Jackson said. “There’s a lot of money on the table here.” Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said port expansion is putting more trucks onto local roads, but there’s no mechanism to share in the resulting costs. He also noted hundreds of acres of farmland have been bought up in Lois Jackson recent years for construction of the South Fraser Perimeter Road or for future shipping terminals. “Most of those containers we know are going farther east,” said Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner, who added the proposal may be a way of getting Ottawa’s attention. But she questioned whether truckers and shippers should shoulder the fee and persuaded the board to also pursue some sort of direct payment to regional transportation costs from the federal government that would reflect port use. “Maybe they want to count the containers and give us the money back,” Hepner said.

“RIP Maple Batalia... one of my good friends...Your kindness, positiveness & beautiful soul will be missed!!” one friend wrote on Twitter. Another posted “#RIP Maple Batalia, another life with so much promise cut short by a low life with a firearm.” Batalia had changed her relationship status to “single” on her Facebook site on Sunday. Two friends “liked” that, and she responded: “LOLLLL ahahahaha ur soo funni :P LOL”

An RIP Maple Batalia page was set up on Facebook Wednesday, and within minutes, quickly had close to 300 people following it. Maria Poe wrote: “Rest in peace, Maple... I am heartbroken beyond words :((“ Thiessen said there is no evidence to suggest the murder is linked to drugs or organized crime. He could not say whether the shooting was targeted or not. “We understand the public may be concerned that we’re not able to provide more information regarding the reasons behind this shooting, but it’s simply too early in the

investigation to make any further statements,” said Thiessen. The university is making counselling available to any staff or students who need it, according to Don MacLachlan, director of communications for SFU Surrey. “It was a really bad day for all of us,” MacLachlan said. “If I’m emotional, it’s hardly surprising. One of our students was killed here.” Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the IHIT tipline at 1-877-551IHIT(4448). kdiakiw@surreyleader.com ~with files from Sheila Reynolds

Levy: An ‘undue burden’ From page 3 “Maybe that’s the funding process. But taking it to the industry and the port and making the port less competitive, I’m not sure that’s the answer.” The debate came as the province launched a jobs strategy heavily geared to exporting resources and leveraging traffic through B.C. ports. About 2.5 million containers a year pass through the port so even a small levy could generate millions toward TransLink’s costs. Mayors vote Oct. 7 on a proposal to raise gas taxes two per cent to raise $40 million a year and seek other sources – such as a vehicle levy – to raise a further $30 million to build the Evergreeen Line and a broader set of transit upgrades. Creating a container levy for transit funding would be “sound taxation policy worthy of further analysis,” according to a staff report by Gaetan Royer, Metro’s manager of metropolitan planning. Heavy, slow-moving container trucks beat up roads and bridges and add to congestion on major arteries, especially near intersections. A levy that finances more transit and gets more commuter vehicles off the road would free up more space for trucks, Royer’s report suggested. He also noted 340,000 empty containers pass through the region each year and many more carry lower-value commodities. A levy that charges those containers more, while giving a break to higher-value cargo, could foster more intensive local industry, Royer suggested.

The province has yet to respond to the idea. But Port Metro Vancouver “fundamentally opposes” any container levy, according to chief financial officer Allan Baydala. “It would put an undue burden on this one industrial sector at a time when competing U.S. west coast ports are seeking to increase their market share at Vancouver’s expense,” he said. Most containers through the port actually move by rail, not road, he noted. Baydala said port users are already contributing $160 million to help pay for port-related transportation upgrades, including a series of nine railway overpasses that will help reduce road congestion as the number and length of freight trains increases along the Roberts Bank rail corridor. A container levy was last proposed by TransLink nearly three years ago but rejected by the provincial government on grounds it would risk the port’s competitive position. TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said he’s not specifically pursuing the idea right now but added “all options need to be on the table.” Like any prospective revenue, he said, a container levy would have trade-offs: the potential loss of competitiveness for shippers using Port Metro Vancouver versus the benefit of truckers perhaps more directly contributing to the strain they put on roads. But he also noted there may be other mechanisms for goods movers to pay a more equitable share of costs in the future. Road pricing, he said, could include a differing fee structure for different types of users, including trucks.

Parents: Let your MLA hear your voice Camping MORE THAN ONE-THIRD of Surrey’s schools

are overcrowded and many of them are more than 25 per cent over capacity – severely overcrowded. We already know that Surrey School District’s precious operational funds are being spent on providing “temporary classrooms” and therefore less is available for benefitting our children in the classroom. Bottom line, if your children attend public school in Surrey they get less than if they attend school in any other district in B.C.

This is not right. This is not equitable. We need substantial capital funding to catch up and we need adequate funding to keep up with our growth. The government has not provided funding for additional schools in Surrey since 2005 when Adams Road Elementary was approved, therefore the dollars required to just begin to rectify this problem are significant ($273 million) and we need a strong voice to compel the government to provide this funding. Your voice and your concerns count. Yours

could be the email or phone call that makes the difference. Please take five minutes today and register your concerns for funding public education in Surrey with MLA, Finance Minister and Deputy Premier Kevin Falcon: Phone: 250-387-3751; fax: 250-387-5594; Surrey Office: 604 576-3792; email kevin.falcon. mla@leg.bc.ca or visit www.kevinfalconmla. bc.ca Linda Stromberg

Shippers can absorb $10 ‘burden’ METRO VANCOUVER area mayors

are considering imposing a tax on shipping containers that pass through our ports to help finance regional transit expansion. The idea is to impose a tax on an industry (shipping) that tears up roads, creates traffic congestion, adds to air pollution and is resulting in billions of taxpayer dollars being spent to bring these materials to market more efficiently (eg. South Fraser Perimeter Road, Port Mann Bridge upgrade) and, at the same time, provide some relief to already over-taxed citizens. I like it. The proposed tax is a mere $10 per container; each of which, by the way, probably contains merchandise that would generate thousands of dollars in profits for the recipients of the contents therein. Not only that, most of these containers probably contain products destined for delivery to several different companies at the same time. So, in the end, it might actually cost any one company only a few extra dollars to have their products delivered. The astounding response from the Port of Metro Vancouver? “It would be too heavy a burden for businesses.” Really? We, the consumers, are constantly bombarded with newspaper, television and radio ads telling us that we need, and should buy, the newest and latest gadgets the manufacturing world has to offer. Throw away your old stuff, because

OUR INFLATED camping fees are

another reason why many of us opt to camp south of the border. For example, BC Parks charges $30 per night plus a $3 reservation fee, plus $3.60 HST for a total of $36.20. What did I get? A plain, barebones, gravel campsite with no water, no electricity and no sewer hookup. Now compare Oregon state, a full-service site for $24 per night, plus a $4 transaction/reservation fee. I stayed two nights for a $56 total, and yes, on a paved site close to the ocean. Then there is our over-the-top price to fill your car/truck with gas in B.C. Do I need to say more? Peter Walters Surrey

A filthy Surrey I’M NOT SURE what’s changed

A letter writer feels no sympathy for shipping companies that could be forced to pay a $10 fee to move each shipping container through the region’s ports. it is obsolete. You need to buy, buy, buy. But at the same time industry is saying, “Please don’t ask us to pay for the damage that delivering those products to you is doing to your environment and infrastructure. We simply can’t afford it.” Well, I can’t afford the everincreasing property taxes, utility fees, gasoline taxes, transit fares

and other charges that are needed to pay for the luxury of getting products to market on well-paved roads and in record time. It is high time that industry started paying their share of the freight and the damage that shipping that freight is causing to our badly eroding infrastructure. In the grand scheme of things, this miniscule increase in the

cost to businesses to move their products to market would be a mere fraction of the cost to taxpayers just trying to get work to make the money to buy these products. To even suggest that this would be a heavy burden on industry is appalling. John Werring Surrey

Arbitrary parking rules Curb spending, I BELIEVE there’s a story to be had at the Bridgeview Community Centre Sunday flea market. Recently, the City of Surrey decided to enforce the parallel parking only rule on 115 Avenue on the north side of the community centre. Formerly diagonal parking had been allowed, which allowed more cars to be parked at a time when the flea market needs all the parking it can get. But the city decided this

expenses

was unsafe as well as illegal and so posted new parking signs on 115 Avenue. They did not, however, post any signs on 126A Street in front of the community centre. This has now turned into a cash cow for the city with tickets being issued by enforcement officers at their discretion. I find it very unfair for the city to expect people to know where to park when there are no parking signs to guide a motorist.

I would like to know why the city decided to enforce the parallel parking rule in an area which needs as much parking as possible, but only during flea market hours on a Sunday. I believe they have created the real parking problem which can only hurt the flea market vendors if the customers stay away. And since I received my parking ticket, I am one who may go elsewhere. Jim Ervin

not roadways

recently, the City of Surrey itself or its citizens, but I’ve found a huge increase in the amount of trash littering the streets lately. Cigarette butts and empty boxes, McDonald’s wrappings, and the ubiquitous Slurpee cups line the streets, more so now than ever. Yes, the kids have just returned to school and are out walking about, but I’ve noticed this increase in trash over the last year. Has the city cut back on its street cleaning budget, or is this not the city’s responsibility at all? Of course not. It’s our responsibility. One woman in our neighbourhood walks up and down Hyland Road with her yellow Surrey garbage bag, doing her part. Another gentleman I met in Fraser Heights told me his responsibility is picking up cigarette butts, while his buddy takes care of the paper trash. If we could all achieve just a portion of these people’s attitudes, Surrey could truly be a city to be proud of. The kids who throw their cups, cans and trash on the ground will hopefully, sooner rather than later, realize that they can make a difference in how their city looks. What’s the excuse for the rest of us? M. Cuthbert

THE STREET ON which I live has just received some “curb

bulges.” This was to slow traffic in an area where a crosswalk allows elementary students to get to their schools and parks. This probably cost a few thousand dollars. Given the speed of traffic down my street, the city could have saved themselves this money as the posted speed of 50 km/h is seldom honoured. In truth, the city can pretty well remove all stop signs, speed limit signs, no parking signs, etc. as no one wants the city to waste money on unnecessary projects. J. Lloyd Surrey

Officials with BC Housing say they continue to treat the bedbug problem with professional companies that spray the units. “Once a problem is discovered, BC Housing develops a detailed, site-specific strategy to try to eliminate bed bug infestations,” a housing ministry spokesman said by email. “Fumigation is usually required – tenants with health issues are offered temporary accommodation and minor expenses if required during the fumigation period.” Fraser Health has developed an oversight position and has endorsed BC Housing’s plan to control the pests. Despite B.C. Housing’s best efforts, tenants like L’Abbe and LeBlanc continue to wake up with welts from the tiny parasites. Fraser Health said there’s no risk of transmission of disease to the general public. However, those who are bitten are encouraged not to scratch the bite as it can get infected. The prevalence of bedbugs globally dropped in the early 1900s, but they’ve made a resurgence in the last 30 years. Now, they are found not only in hostels, homeless shelters and transition homes, but some of the better hotels in Vancouver.

Meningitis strain still a mystery Bacterial infection claimed life of Clayton Heights Secondary student last week by Jennifer Lang IT MAY NEVER be deter-

mined which strain of bacterial meningitis claimed the life of Clayton Heights Secondary student Brandon Kurtz last week. As of Tuesday, no new cases of the infection had been reported, Fraser Health Authority spokesman Roy Thorpe-Dorward said. Officials hadn’t confirmed the diagnosis, but hadn’t given up on

identifying the precise strain. It’s possible antibiotics used to treat the ailing 15-year-old may have killed off enough of the bacteria to preclude an identification. “Nobody’s doubting that it’s a bacterial meningococcal infection,” Thorpe-Dorward said. “But it might be impossible to get an identification of the kind or strain.” Students, parents and guardians, and staff at

the Cloverdale-area high school received a letter last week explaining one of their classmates had passed away and that meningitis was the suspected cause. Fraser Health does not believe there is a risk to the general student population at Clayton Heights, or the public at large. “People shouldn’t be alarmed,” Thorpe-Dorward said. “All the steps are being followed.” Public health nurses

have now completed the task of administering preventative antibiotics to those who were known to have been in close contact with the student. The bacteria is spread by direct contact with the saliva of an infected person, such as sharing a water bottle or a musical instrument. Anyone in close contact with the boy between Sept. 8 and 19 and who has not yet gotten in touch with

health officials is asked to contact the Cloverdale Public Health Unit at 604-575-5100 or HealthLinkBC at 811. Meningitis is an infection of the fluid that surrounds the spinal cord and brain, and can affect the lining of the brain or cause a blood infection. It can lead to brain damage or death. The symptoms are flu-like and may include fever, a severe headache, stiff neck, nausea, confusion,

has expanded its regional park on Barnston Island by adding nearly seven hectares of Fraser River foreshore. Cyclists, walkers and others who take the five-minute ferry ride to Barnston will have access to a sandy beach and panoramic views of the Fraser River, the mountains to the north and Golden Ears Bridge. The new parkland is at Mann Point, the east point of the island, where the regional district acquired about eight hectares in 2009. The new addition to the Barnston Island part of Surrey Bend Regional Park will also conserve ecologicallyimportant foreshore on the Fraser River, according to Metro Vancouver. “Almost half a kilo-

metre of riverfront in the geographic heart of this urban region is now protected parkland,” said Metro parks committee chair Gayle Martin. “Metro Vancouver now has parkland at both the east and west points of Barnston Island.” About one-third of the property is not enclosed by a dyke, which is rare in this region. That wetland foreshore and upland field habitat supports many herons, cormorants, raptors and other bird and wildlife species. The park expansion also supports Experience the Fraser, a joint initiative of Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley Regional District and the province to improve and showcase riverfront land along the lower Fraser River. jnagel@surreyleader.com

guilty of stabbing his pregnant girlfriend to death nearly six years ago will get a new trial, as will his alleged accomplice, after their murder convictions were overturned this week. Tasha Lynn Rossette, 21, was killed on Nov. 20, 2005, her body found two days later lying at the entry to her home near 72 Avenue and 142 Street. She had been stabbed 40 times and her throat had been slashed. Rossette was 17 weeks pregnant with her second child. In June 2008, Amjad Khan and Naim Mohammed Saghir were found guilty in B.C. Supreme Court of first-degree murder in her death. The Crown’s theory was that Khan, whom had a casual sexual relationship with Rossette, did not want her to have the baby, as it would bring too much responsibility and shame to his family. Khan decided to kill her, Crown prosecutors argued, and got Saghir to help. During the jury trial in 2008, there was no forensic evidence

presented linking Khan or Saghir posted online on Tuesday (Sept. to Rossette’s murder. 27). The Crown’s key evidence In his written reasons for came from two “unsavoury” judgment, B.C.

ing six weapons-related charges over a Langley incident that occurred July 21, 2008.

Charges of possessing a restricted weapons, two counts of possessing prohibited ammunition and owning a weapon without a licence were dropped. Two months ago, Albert Jacob Jackman was sentenced to 10 years for aggravated assault and five years for unlawful confinement in the March 2009 attack that broke practically every major bone in Willock’s body. The beating splattered the walls and furniture of Willock’s Langley bedroom with blood. He has not fully recovered from his injuries, court documents show. But Willock never testified at Jackman’s trial. He did not even file a victim impact statement. One month before the beating Willock and another man, Fraser Sutherland, were fired on as they were leaving a Surrey nightclub. The late-night attack happened about a block away from the T-Barz club on East Whalley Ring Road and 104 Avenue when the Range Rover Sutherland was driving and Willock was a passenger in was struck by several bullets. Sutherland suffered a shoulder wound, but managed to flee the area and drive to Langley, where he pulled over and called police. The wounded man was taken to hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. Willock was not injured. A few weeks later, police announced charges of attempted murder against UN gangsters and associates Barzan Tilli-Cholli, Aram Ali and Karwan Saed for the attempted murders of Willock and Sutherland. A few days after that, Willock was attacked in his home. At his assault trial, Jackman said he tied up Willock and attacked him with a sledgehammer because he believed Willock had shown disrespect to a dead friend, Kevin LeClair, a Surrey resident who was gunned down at a Langley strip mall earlier that year. dferguson@langleytimes.com

Former city planner back in court Separate from criminal investigation over duties at city hall, Akonyu Akolo pleads guilty to lesser charges in impaired driving case by Kevin Diakiw

in regards to a development application while he was a planner with Surrey. Akolo has been charged with breach of trust by a public officer, corrupt municipal official, secret commissions and fraudulent concealment. He was reported to the city by a developer last April, causing Akolo’s termination and sparking a criminal investigation. During the course of their investigation, police found no

A FORMER SURREY planner,

charged with driving while impaired in Delta in January, has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving without due care and attention. Akonyu Akolo entered the plea last Monday in B.C. Supreme Court in Surrey. The traffic offence is just one of Akolo’s legal concerns. He’s also been charged with misappropriating funds

criminal wrongdoing on the side of the developer or any other City of Surrey staff. None of the allegations against Akolo have been proven in court. Akolo, a Ugandan with his masters degree in planning from UBC, was in charge of area planning and development for South Surrey. The city has also launched a civil action against Akolo. The city alleges Akolo used the city’s money in the pur-

chase of a house on Chateau Wynd in North Delta with an assessed value of $624,000, according to a CBC report. Surrey has placed a notice of pending litigation on the title to Akolo’s home. Surrey said in its claim that it is seeking general damages, special damages and punitive damages from Akolo. He is scheduled to appear in court for the criminal charges in December, 2012.

FALL CLEAN-UP MADE EASY

Cadieux the new social development minister by Tom Fletcher PREMIER Christy Clark has shuffled her cabinet line-up before the legislature reopens next week, replacing Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy with Surrey-Panorama MLA Stephanie Cadieux as social development minister. Bloy has struggled to defend the social development ministry’s restructuring since being appointed to cabinet this spring, following the closure and restructuring of group homes for developmentally disabled people. Most recently, Community Living B.C., the agency responsible for adult disability programs, delayed for a year a decision to end funding that employs 29 people at the recycling depot in Maple Ridge. Clark said Bloy will continue as minister of state responsible for multiculturalism, remaining in cabinet. Replacing Cadieux as labour minister is Vancouver-Fairview MLA Margaret MacDiarmid, who was dropped from cabinet when Clark took over as premier in March. Clark said Monday that MacDiarmid’s experience as a physician and president of the B.C. Medical Association, as well as a stint as education minister, make her well suited to take over the labour ministry as negotiations with doctors and teachers continue.

NDP leader Adrian Dix said Clark’s decision to appoint Bloy to cabinet had more to do with his support for her leadership bid than his ability to defend the government’s policies. “It’s obviously an admission that she made a very serious mistake, and continued on with that for some time,” Dix said. “The people who have paid the price are people with developmental disabilities and other people served by the ministry.” Clark did not name a new attorney-general after Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner resigned from cabinet in August. Solicitor General Shirley Bond continues to serve in both roles, but Clark said a new attorney general will be appointed later. Other changes to the cabinet include: • Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg takes on a new role, parliamentary secretary for non-profit partnerships to the social development ministry. • ParksvilleQualicum MLA Ron Cantelon is appointed parliamentary secretary for seniors, reporting to the health ministry. • Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA Donna Barnett is named parliamentary secretary for rural communities. • Burnaby North MLA Richard Lee is named parliamentary secretary for Asia Pacific.

Shelter remains closed while staff treat animals for the fungus by Kevin Diakiw THE SURREY SPCA

remains closed due to what has turned out to be a particularly rare form of ringworm. The animal shelter at 152 Street and 67 Avenue shut down Sept. 2 after six staff were sent home with a mysterious rash. At first it was thought to be sarcoptic mange, or canine scabies.

But Bob Busch, the general manager for the BCSPCA, told The Leader it’s ringworm. Some of the employees are getting better, while others are showing little sign of improvement. They are being treated with an antifungal ointment to tackle the rash. They traced the origin of the ringworm to two stray kittens that

came into the shelter on Aug. 2. From there, it spread to seven other cats and a dog. The SPCA is treating them with a chemical bath and in the meantime watching for any other animals that show signs of the ringworm. Busch said there’s no way to tell at this time when exactly the shelter will reopen. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Help on wheels Non-proďŹ t society hopes to ďŹ nd a new home for a needy volunteer by Evan Seal IT WAS DEC. 23, 2009 and Karen

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Brownsville RV park resident Jill Burgess sits insider her trailer, which is in very poor condition.

Ougden was getting ready to sit down for dinner with family and friends when her father took her aside and asked for a favour. Bud Eissfeldt, the food hamper coordinator at the Faith Lutheran Church in Surrey, had earlier in the day received a call for help. The managers at the Brownsville RV Park in North Surrey were beginning to see how the cold temperatures and poor economy were taking a toll on their residents and had placed a call to the church looking for any help to provide Christmas hampers for some of their residents in need. Knowing the church had used up much of the food they had collected for all their registered families, Eissfeldt asked his daughter if she could help. No stranger to volunteering and helping to feed the needy, Ougden and her husband took it as a personal

challenge. They were soon on the phone soliciting whatever food they could, and within a day had collected enough food to feed 18 families. “When we got down there, there was a couple with a child and that just blew my mind,� she said. And being a new mother herself, she knew the difficulties they faced. The young couple eventually found housing, but the experience only seemed to solidify Ougden’s resolve. Since that first encounter, she and her husband have provided food, clothing and even held a fundraising event encouraging family, friends and community members to donate. “I know it sounds so simple but often just bringing the essentials like toilet paper can make such a difference,� Ougden said. Working only part time at a local accounting firm and with her son now attending preschool, Ougden felt she still had some extra time to give. See MISSION / Page 23

Surrey Hospice - 25th Year Anniversary

I married my high school sweetheart 32 years ago. This man was the love of my life and always will be. A kind, gentle, loving husband and father. My rock, always there for me, always a gentleman. We attended a Gala, danced, and held each other never imagining this would be our last Gala together. Then at age 51 we got the devastating news Brant had pancreatic cancer. My world turned upside down, this wonderful man had 3 months to live. This couldn’t be happening, he was only 51. Hospice was for seniors I had always thought!

The staff and volunteers at Surrey Hospice Society supported Brant and I through this journey, and with on-going counselling and support I have been able to continue on with my life despite the daily pain of missing my love. Now I am giving back to Surrey Hospice Society as a volunteer helping to raise awareness and much needed funds so that others can benefit from the Society’s great work.

At the same time, two other members of her church, The Relate Church in Surrey, were doing what they could to help provide clothing to those in need. Sanja Poitras and her husband decided to put their corporate jobs in Vancouver on hold and started working in various non-profit organizations, eventually founding Clothes on Wheels, a not-forprofit company aimed at distributing clothing through 125 schools in the Surrey area. “I just sent Sanja an email asking if she needed any help sorting and hanging clothes” said Ougden. So every Wednesday, Ougden would get together with Poitras and other volunteers and together they would prepare the clothes for distribution. Connecting with people seemed to be a binding thread between them. But the Brownsville RV Park was never far from Ougden’s mind, so a few weeks ago she decided to take Poitras on a tour of the park to meet some of the people there. One resident struck a chord. “I had heard of the area but had never been down there,” said Poitras, “It was just one

Officers honoured at police OIC awards Telecoms operators and Crown counsel included among winners this year by Kevin Diakiw POLICE KNOW the job is

tough and has inherent danger, but from time to time officers function particularly well in the face of great adversity. Their efforts don’t always make headlines, but they’re noted by Surrey RCMP’s upper ranks. Those officers were honoured last Wednesday (Sept. 21) at the Officer in Charge Awards held at the Bell Centre for the Performing Arts. “They are representative of the types of situations where police officers are forced to engage in that present risk,” Assistant Commissioner Fraser MacRae told The Leader. “I think all of us as police officers understand there’s inherent risk in our duties, but that risk doesn’t manifest itself every day you come to work.” The awards are also a chance for the officers’ families to get a close look at the kind of work the job entails. Also on the list this year is Crown counsel Theresa Mitchell-Banks, who tried gangster James Bacon for possession of a firearm. Besides the threat inherent in trying a gangster, MitchellBanks faced several challenges in obtaining a guilty verdict. Also honoured were a host of police officers who worked for a decade bringing Vic Fraser’s killer to justice. Here is a list of other people receiving awards:

Officer in Charge Commendations • Cpl. Shaun Begg for his efforts in helping attend to a violent and disturbed man who was in severe medical distress. • Staff-Sgt. Lori Greig, Sgt. Julie Moss, Cpl. Mike Hall, Constables Marcus Muntener, and undercover operators for their outstanding performance in the investigation into an unsolved homicide case (Victor Fraser) which occurred over 10 years ago in Surrey. • Const. André Johnny for his outstanding actions in rescuing a disabled female during an apartment fire. • Cpl. Kevin Cyr for

his outstanding efforts on a file involving a serious stranger sexual assault of a young child. • Cpl. Lynn Young and Constable Drew Hobbs for their outstanding efforts investigating the brutal aggravated assault of an 88-year-old male. • Telecoms Operator Tasha Smith, Cpl. Mickey Harding, and Consts. Christopher Waterhouse and Robert Katic for their outstanding efforts in rescuing a suicidal female. • Cpl. Bho Dhaliwal for his outstanding performance in conducting an investigation into a missing persons case which resulted in a homicide investigation. • United States Border Patrol Agent Lucas Shulman for his outstanding actions in coming to the aid of a Surrey RCMP officer and his police service dog. • Cpl. Rob Dyck and James Forliti for their outstanding actions in helping to contain a vehicle fire which was dangerously close to a residence in Surrey. • Sgt. Celso DeLemos, Cpl. Scottie Schumann, Constables Jason Duin, Brian Pierschke, and Arone Tillen for their outstanding actions in dealing with a suicidal male who was in medical distress. • Const. John Douglas for his outstanding actions in preventing an assault while off-duty. • Constables Amberia Sovdi and Leanne Krauss for their outstanding service in conducting a historical sexual assault investigation. • Const. Daryl Remin for his outstanding actions in providing life-saving resuscitation to an assault victim who required medical attention. • Sgt. Shawn Boudreau and Cpl. Kevin Cyr for their outstanding service in conducting an investigation into threats against fellow law enforcement officers. • Cpl. Joelle Scriver and Constables Robert Keay, Luc Leger, Gareth Bradley, Rajkamal Grewal and Freddie Moon for their outstanding efforts in responding to and conducting an investigation into a brutal assault and armed robbery.

• Constables Ranjit Seehra and Lucas Sovio for their outstanding actions in dealing with an armed male involved in a domestic incident. • Cpl. Michael Hall and Crown counsel Theresa MitchellBanks for their outstanding performance in conducting a complex and difficult firearms investigation and prosecution against a gang member, James Bacon.

• Constables James Bagnell, Amy Doan, Stefan Moxness, Russell Eke and Daniel Ricapa for their outstanding actions in dealing with a suicidal male with a knife. • Corporals Heather Matthew and Lynn Young for their outstanding performance in conducting a sexual assault investigation into the criminal activities of a Canadian Border Services Guard. • Sgt.

involved in the drug trade. • Const. Tanya Hermann for her efforts in performing life-saving resuscitation on an individual who was in severe medical distress.

The Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society (FVHRS) – dedicated to preserving the history of Interurban rail travel in the region – is relocating its operations from Sullivan Station to Cloverdale. Along with a new garage (called a car barn) to house two B.C. Electric Railway passenger cars, the society is building a replica of the original Cloverdale Station and will launch limited passenger runs – opening up a world of possibilities for local tourism and potential volunteers. But the launch of construction unexpectedly suffered a setback this summer, society secretary Allen Aubert told Black Press. “We’ve been delayed four to five months due to soil conditions on site,” located on 176 Street just south of Highway 10 in the historic town centre, Aubert said. “That’s all resolved.” Construction is now expected to begin early this fall, once a few technical details are worked out with the City of Surrey. “With any luck, the building should be completed by February,” he said. The society’s new home at 5554 176 St. is just steps from the original Cloverdale Station, which was for decades a hub for the old Interurban line. In its heyday from 1910 to 1950, three trains a day ran between Chilliwack and Vancouver. Out of a fleet of 80 Interurban cars, only seven are left. “They all got burned and destroyed at the end of operation in 1955,” Aubert said. Most of the survivors ended up in U.S. museums. Two belong to the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society, whose volunteers have spent thousands of hours restoring the old wooden cars to their former glory. Once the new car barn is complete, the society will move its entire operations from Sullivan Station, at 64 Avenue and 152 Street, to Cloverdale. The society planned to roll out service with Car 1225 this month. Instead, testing will start next April, with the first limited passenger runs between Cloverdale and Sullivan starting in May. Potential volunteers, take note: There will be opportunities for Surrey

residents to climb on board – whether as operators, ticket-takers, conductors or tour guides. “You can imagine if we’re there every weekend, and there’s a train moving every half hour,” Aubert said, “there will be all kinds of opportunities to participate. It’s going to be very exciting.” The society also plans to commission the construction of a replica baggage car to house the generator that will power the electric cars. Car 1304 – known as the Chilliwack Car – is also called the Royal Car because it was used by the former Governor General of Canada, the Duke of Connaught and his wife, the Duchess, during a visit to Vancouver in 1912. Then, it went back into regular service. “Somewhere in that car, there’s some royal DNA,” Aubert said. On 1304’s final trip, a group of students from Yarrow School rode the Interurban on a special excursion. “We’re hoping to contact some of those children,” he said. “They’d probably be in their 60s and 70s now. We would like to try and find some of them and see if we can get them back on the first trip.” Longer-range plans call to extend the run further west to Newton and finally to Scott Road, sliding in at ground level at the Scott Road SkyTrain station. “We’ll be able to get people to visit us from great distance,” Aubert said. “We’ll be able to market this internationally.” Cloverdale Station will also be home to the Clover Belle, a vintage streetcar that’s the focus of interconnected – but entirely separate – restoration efforts. The Cloverdale Business Improvement Association, the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce and the City of Surrey are working on a feasibility study to consider the installation of a heritage streetcar line on 176 Street between Highway 10 and 58A Avenue. Passengers on the restored Interurban would be able to walk across the platform at Cloverdale station and take the Clover Belle up 176 Street. Aubert said his society is about 70 per cent of the way to reaching its fundraising goal for the nearly $6-million project. Early this year, the City of Surrey approved $2.9 million in spending to relocate the FVHRS’s operations to Cloverdale.

Rooftop decks sometimes a better plan than a backyard

Outdoor spaces still usable for fall Even if the weather wasn’t as nice as we could have hoped, there was no shortage of people enjoying the outdoors this summer. While many could be found on restaurant patios or the beaches around the Lower Mainland, some were enjoying the sunshine on their very own rooftop deck. Many new home developments are including rooftop decks in their plans, responding to a demand for outdoor space without having to leave the comfort of your own home. With space sometimes at a premium, it is more useful to have a deck on the roof than it is to have a backyard. The rooftop deck at Aragon Properties’ Flow at Port Royal “is so tranquil and wideopen,” says Aragon Director of Sales and Marketing David Wan.

With views of the Fraser River and a fireplace, the decks are usable year-round. Azura Management’s Aviva on the Park in Port Coquitlam also boasts its own rooftop spaces at their townhomes, giving residents a bit of extra space for entertaining or relaxing. For the ultimate in luxury, Adera’s Ultima at Pacific Spirit includes private rooftop lanais perfect for adding a hot tub. The lanais are the best place to check out the stunning views of the University of British Columbia. Many developments include a rooftop deck as an amenity, including Barber Creek Development’s Edgewater in Surrey and Intergulf Development’s Kits360 in Vancouver. Edgewater’s deck includes an outdoor pool. It’s doubtful anyone will regret owning a place with a deck, no matter what the weather.

‘Where sculpture meets structure’

Central rises above Vancouver skyline by Kerry Vital

Onni’s Central in southeast False Creek is aiming to be an integral part of Vancouver’s skyline. With its original architecture and attention to detail, that is no long-shot goal. “You would be hard-pressed to see something like this again,” says Onni sales manager Nick Belmar. “It’s where sculpture meets structure ... We wanted to make it a landmark for Vancouver.” Central is unlike every other residential building that came before it. Instead of the typical tower and podium approach, meaning a tower surrounded by a base of commercial space or townhomes, one residential tower is turned on its side. Onni calls it the Skybridge. “We are very proud of what they’ve done,” says Belmar. “The defining feature is absolutely the Skybridge ... it’s phenomenal.” “So many of the downtown towers have been built in a very short time, and so they have become a sea of sameness. With the design of Central, we wanted something that would rise above the too-often dull waters of the

sea,” says architect Bruce Haden of DIALOG. The building will feature two towers, one that will hold office and retail space, and the other residential, topped by the Skybridge, which is set at an angle to maximize light and views of the water, city and mountains. A courtyard features a reflecting pool set into a half-acre park area. Homes are available in one-bedroom, twobedroom and penthouse plans, ranging from 515 to 1,500 square feet, many with attached balconies or patios. The penthouses also include a terrace. But the architecture isn’t the only thing attracting buyers. Belmar says about half of the 304 homes have been sold, and the high-quality finishings and proximity to everything Vancouver has to offer keeps bringing potential buyers in droves. One of the popular features at

Central is the full-sized appliances, which are a rarity in the condo market. Other features include Europeanmade commercial-grade wide-plank laminate flooring in the living areas, and Berber-style carpeting in the bedrooms and walk-in closets. Foodies are able to choose between honed natural stone or composite countertops, with a breakfast bar overhang in most homes. Europeaninspired cabinetry with a rift-cut oak veneer face is standard, fitting in seamlessly with the modern overheight tile backsplash and stainlesssteel under-mounted sink. Bathrooms at Central are made for luxury, including porcelain floor tile and an oversized vanity mirror for all your grooming needs. A separate deep soaker tub with tiled front is ready for every bubble bath, and the glass shower enclosure includes a mosaic-tiled base and high-gloss tile from floor to ceiling. All of this combines with the solid composite stone countertops with a matching backsplash to become the perfect ode to relaxation. Belmar is not exaggerating when he says how close to everything Central is.

The SeaWall, recently voted as the best public space in Canada, is just steps away, while a water taxi or the Aquabus is ready to whisk you across False Creek to Granville Island, Yaletown or the West End. Shopping, restaurants and every other service you could possibly need are close by, making Central the perfect neighbourhood hub. Owners will have access to a 7,000 square-foot wellness centre that includes a fitness centre, yoga studio and a steam and sauna room. A dining room with a professional kitchen will also be available for residents looking to host a party, and a games room, lounge/entertainment area and theatre are also included. Finally, owners will have the use of a quiet study room and a rooftop garden terrace with plots available for growing your own food. Belmar warns potential homebuyers that they must not wait to buy a home at Central. “I tell them regardless of where, you must get into this building. You won’t be disappointed.” Buyers will be able to take residence in 2014. Homes start at $347,900. For more information visit www. ownatcentral.com or call 604-682-8801.

The defining feature is absolutely the Skybridge,” says Onni sales manager Nick Belmar.

Old TVs get boot

Fur and feathers go together Retailer HedyMarie of Hedy Feathers (‘for Doggies and Humanz’) attaches some ‘bling’ to Snowy, 7, owned by Sharon Lunde, during the I Love Shopping and Pet Fair Expo, held at Shannon Hall last Saturday. The event was organized by the Cloverdale Rodeo and Exhibition Association.

Recyclers expect more volume with signal change

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

by Jeff Nagel LAST MONTH’S switch

from analog to digital television broadcasts has electronics recyclers predicting an uptick in unwanted TVs coming their way. The change only affects TVs that receive over-the-air signals through an antenna – and even they can still be used if paired with a digital converter. But Craig Wisehart, program director of the Electronics Stewardship Association of B.C., expects it means more people will upgrade and cast off old TVs. “We think more of these will end up in the end-of-life category,” he said. “We don’t want them to end up in a landfill somewhere.” The agency that coordinates the electronic waste pickup and recycling system in B.C. is urging anyone with an unwanted set to dispose of it responsibly by taking it to a depot. The broadcast signal change took effect in late August in major markets but has been deferred in smaller, rural communities. Even before the switch, Wisehart said e-waste depots were already noticing a 15-per-cent jump in the volume of old TVs or computer displays arriving compared to last year. People are becoming more aware of where to take dead or unwanted electronics, he said. B.C.’s depot system now gets about 20,000 tonnes of electronic waste per year and has collected 55,000 tonnes since it was launched four years ago. For depot locations and other information on electronics recycling see http://www.returnit.ca/electronics/

A new report analyzing cumulative impacts on sockeye suggests the fish most likely died at sea, not in the Fraser itself or one of its tributaries. It points to ocean conditions and climate change as two “likely” factors that may have contributed to the long-term stock decline, particularly as juvenile sockeye migrate out from the mouth of the river to Queen Charlotte Sound and beyond into the open Pacific. “It is very likely that poor marine conditions during the coastal migration life stage in 2007 contributed to the poor returns observed in 2009,” the cumulative impacts report says. It notes water temperatures were much cooler in 2008, and the better conditions for salmon may have been part of the reason for 2010’s surprisingly large run. Climate change and ocean conditions may also play a role further out at sea, it says. “Some important predators appear to be increasing in numbers and some prey are decreasing,” it notes, rating that as a “possible” contributor to declines. The report was prepared by consultants ESSA Technologies Ltd. and lead author David Marmorek testified at the commission earlier this week. His role was to distill

the findings of a dozen other scientific reports conducted for the commission to probe separate potential threats to sockeye. The report found no conclusion is possible on the impact of pathogens and diseases in the sockeye decline. It cited widely diverging scientific opinions of the inquiry’s two researchers who studied the possible role of salmon farms. They found diseases from the farms might play a role but completely disagreed in interpreting the actual evidence. ESSA’s report did note they agreed sea lice, escaped Atlantic salmon and waste from the farms were all unlikely to play a significant role. It’s also unlikely, the report found, that Lower Mainland land use or upriver factors ranging from logging and mining to agriculture or hydroelectric projects were primary drivers of the decline. Similarly, pre-spawn mortality of returning sockeye caused by habitat changes or contaminants were unlikely factors. There are plenty of unanswered questions that were beyond the scope of the commission’s technical reports and therefore weren’t considered by their teams of researchers, Marmorek noted. Large releases of hatchery fish may compete with salmon for food or attract predators to the same area, he suggests. That may also be a factor with pink salmon. The report notes there’s evidence pink salmon from Alaska and Russia compete along-

Marmorek calls for more research on various salmon stressors, particularly in the early ocean stage. The Cohen inquiry is in its final days of hearings, with senior officials now taking the stand from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. A final report is due next year. The judicial inquiry led by retired Judge Bruce Cohen was called by the federal government after fewer than 1.5 million sockeye returned in 2009.

dispatchers for our volunteer driver program in Surrey. Cancer treatment often requires a patient to travel from their home to a treatment centre on a daily or weekly basis. The appointments can be lengthy, scheduled at different times and are usually during normal business hours. This can pose a problem for a family where other members are working or carrying a greater load to ease the burden on the family member with cancer. In this situation, the volunteer driver program can step in and make a tremendous contribution to the well-being of an entire family. The Canadian Cancer Society volunteer driver program in Surrey needs drivers to take patients to and from their treatments in the Fraser Valley/Greater Vancouver and dispatchers to coordinate the trips. Full training and support services are provided. Time commitments are flexible with the program running Monday to Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m..

Local teams advance

Four wins in Pacific Cup play by Rick Kupchuk ALL FOUR local clubs in the

Pacific Cup men’s soccer tournament posted first round victories last weekend. The Pacific Cup is a 16-team single-knockout competition, featuring eight teams from the Vancouver Metro Soccer League (VMSL), and four each from the Fraser Valley (FVSL) and Vancouver Island (VISL) leagues. Surrey United Firefighters easily won their opening round game, getting two goals from Andrew Proctor in a 5-0 victory over Cowichan FC Saturday afternoon at Cloverdale Athletic Park. Jeff Clarke, Kris Robazza and Mason Webb also tallied for United. In other Pacific Cup play, Surrey FC Athletic Club of the FVSL edged VMSL rival Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves 3-2 in Coquitlam. Venny Atwell, Chris Kyd and Scott McDonald scored for the winners. ICST Pegasus, the defending provincial champions who will compete at the national championships in one week, blasted Westside FC 4-0 in an all-VMSL battle. Azad Palani, Meysam Soltani, David Samra and Reynold Stewart were the Pegasus goal scorers. Joti Thind and Danney Badesha scored to lift the Delta United Hurricanes to a 2-1 victory in Victoria over Bays United

of the VISL. ■ ICST Pegasus blew a twogoal lead in North Vancouver, but a single point earned in a 2-2 draw with Norvan Pacific lifted them to first place in the VMSL’s Premier Division. Palani set up the first Pegasus tally, then scored himself to put the visitors up 2-0. Norvan netted their first goal just before halftime, then tied the contest early in the second half from the penalty spot. Pegasus has two wins and a tie in three starts this season, and leads West Van FC and Columbus FC by one point. Pegasus will host Surrey United tomorrow night (Friday) at Newton Athletic Park. United is 1-0-1 (won-tied-lost) in league play. Delta, losers of their two VMSL Premier Division contests, are in Coquitlam to play the 0-1-2 Wolves. ■ Surrey FC Athletic Club has won both of its FVSL Premier Division games, and is tied for first place with PoCo FC and the Chilliwack Rapids. They visit the Abbotsford Mariners (1-0-2) Sunday afternoon. Northy Delta United looks for its first victory in Premier League play, when they host Langley United Saturday night at Delsom Field. North Delta has lost both games played this season. sports@surreyleader.com

Thursday, September 29, 2011 Surrey/North Delta Leader 47 Petra Hoffmann will be giving a free talk on Oct. 6 about how her fresh approach to art helped her heal after being diagnosed with Hepatitis C.

TREE TREASURES SURREY’S

THE TREES AT THE SURREY NATURE CENTRE Visit the Surrey Nature Centre at Green Timbers and explore the past and incredible trees as you wander the grounds!

Art as therapy

The forest at the Nature Centre has the special distinction of being the “birthplace of reforestation” in British Columbia. It was once a tree nursery – a place that specialized in growing tree seedlings to be planted throughout the province – and was the first place that the seedlings were replanted following logging.

GET INVOLVED

WHEN SURREY-BASED artist Petra Hoffmann

was diagnosed with a life threatening illness, she turned to glass and mirror art etching as a type of therapy. Instead of using commercial stencil designs, she chose to draw and cut her images by hand. On Oct. 6, 7:30 p.m. as part of the Thursday Artist Talk speaker series at the Surrey Art Gallery, Hoffmann will share her inspiring journey of selfdiscovery and overcoming the odds. Hear how her fresh approach to art-making helped her to heal, and how the experience of her illness has led to new initiatives, including a soon-to-be-released autobiography. A selection of etchings will be shown. Admission is free. Petra Hoffmann was introduced to glass and mirror art etching in 1992, and pursued it with a passion for a couple of years until the pace of her life intervened. In late 2008, she received a diagnosis of Hepatitis C, and while undergoing treatment, was essentially confined to her home. Needing an outlet, Hoffmann decided to revisit the artistic endeavour she previously enjoyed. When she realized that the commercial stencil designs were the same as those she had purchased in 1992, her creative juices started to flow and a hidden talent was uncovered. Her work can be seen at www.petrabilities.com, and the Surrey Art Gallery Association Gift Shop (located at the Surrey Art Gallery). There will be time for questions and conversation during and following the talk. The event concludes by 9 p.m. Surrey Art Gallery is located at 13750 88 Ave. Phone 604-501-5566 or check www.surrey.ca/arts.

Rec centre wall turns into giant arcade game

A digital display called Fictional Façade, which responds to movement and has accompanying sound, is currently projected on the Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre in the evenings.

Digital art display projected on Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre Black Press COLOURFUL abstract

geometric shapes and patterns bounce off the window perimeters and explore the outside surface of the Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre, appearing to get stuck where there is no space available to let them out. The digital artwork display, called Fiction Façade, is activated by movement in front of the Surrey Urban Screen, and projected on the side of the recreation centre. Created by Urban Visuals team (Konstantinos Mavromichalis & Nathan Whitford), the artwork animates sequences that recall arcade games like pinball. “It is reminiscent of early video games, with a kind of retrofuturism,â€? say the artists. “It is meant to addresses the site using the physical attributes of the façade itself, drawing attention to the interaction of digital media and architectural form.â€? Fiction Façade also

comes with accompanying sounds informed by older console-based 8 bit video games. Sounds are generated by collisions between the projected virtual objects seen in the animation and the physical objects such as the windows and borders of the building. Visitors can tune in to listen on their MP3 player or car stereo when in front of the artwork. The exhibition officially launches with an opening reception Friday (Sept. 30) at 7:30 p.m. The artists will be in attendance, and there will be refreshments and popcorn. The event is free, and everyone is welcome. Fiction Façade continues until Nov. 13.

One famous beard SURREY RESIDENT SARWAN SINGH has made it to American

daytime television. Singh was featured as a guest on the Regis and Kelly Show in New York City on Sept. 13. At seven feet, nine inches in length, Singh has been a Guinness World Book record holder for the longest beard in the world since 2008. A priest at the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara and a music teacher at the Akal Academy, Singh was a guest during the Regis and Kelly Live Guinness World Record Breaker Week. With an enthusiastic welcome from Regis Philbin himself, Singh and his translator, Dr. Pargat Bhurji, wooed the audience and esteemed hosts with the staggering length of Singh’s beard. “This is history in the making,” said Bhurji, the principal and president of Akal Academy, where Singh is music teacher. “Mr. Sarwan Singh is a devout, humble, divine gift. So this is a divine gift from God.” When questioned by Ripa about the shorter length of his beard compared to Singh’s, Bhurhi laughed and stated that Singh was gifted and that “out of the 6.5 billion people in the world, he is the only one standing here.” When asked how he felt about being featured on popular daytime show, Singh replied, “I am very proud to have been given the opportunity to represent the Sikh and Surrey communities. “I am very grateful that I have been able to show our faith to the world.” Singh wore a Canadian flag prominently on his lapel for the show. The segment is viewable online at http://bcove. me/67gngqlq

Not too tired to recycle

T

ire Stewardship BC (TSBC) has announced that The City of Surrey will receive funding for two city playgrounds: Holland Park and Kensington Prairie Community Centre. Now in its third year, TSBC’s 2011 Community Grant Program provides financial support to communities that use BC recycled rubber products in projects such as playgrounds, spray parks or running tracks. “We’re thrilled to be able to help communities with the funding they need to make their projects a reality,” said Mike Hennessy, TSBC’s executive director. “These projects are meant to enhance the community experience for all residents. What’s more, by securing the use of B.C. recycled rubber in these projects we’re providing employment and economic benefits right here at home.” “Every year for the last three that I’ve been around TSBC has made a difference in Surrey Parks and it has been a real joy to be involved,” said City of Surrey Parks designer Jay Meenley. Previous TSBC-funded projects in Surrey included the playgrounds in Robson Park, Guildford Heights Park and Redwood Park. A total of 12 projects chosen from 11 communities across B.C. will share in a portion of the grants, worth a total of

$127,000. Together, these projects will use more than 127,000 pounds of recycled crumb rubber, thereby bringing the equivalent of 9,500 tires back in to B.C.’s communities in a beneficial second life as recycled rubber products. Funding for The Community Grant Program comes directly from the Advance Disposal Fee or “eco-fee” that each retailer remits to TSBC for every new tire sold. These fees also go directly towards the op operation of the scrap-tire recycling program, g including the transportation and r recycling of B.C.’s scrap tires to ensure they a disposed of in environmentally responare s sible ways, such as recycling into rubber p products. TSBC is the not-for-profit society f formed to accept responsibility for t provincial scrap-tire recycling the p program. On January 1, 2007, TSBC launched the new scrap-tire recycling program replacing the government-run program that had been in place since 1991. TSBC encourages communities to use B.C. recycled rubber products in their upcoming projects. For information about grant applications, visit www.tirestewardshipbc.ca

not just the cooler weather making post-secondary students and their parents feel a chill. It’s also the prospect of tuition fees, book costs and other education expenses. It’s never been more expensive to attend university or college. Statistics show average undergraduate tuition fees in Canada are steadily rising, climbing from $4,400 in 2006/2007 to over $5,000 in 2010/2011. Students enrolled in disciplines such as law, medicine or dentistry will be paying even more per year. With costs like this, every dollar saved helps. For students entering or heading back to university this fall, here is some simple financial help on how to keep up with all those back-to-school bills. 1. Curb your spending with a budget: Create a realistic budget and stick to it. Look for opportunities to reduce spending by focusing on needs, not wants. Be honest with yourself about what you can afford to spend, and how much you can trim/save – a budget is only useful when you’re able to follow it. When developing your budget, think about how you might save by making lifestyle changes in areas like entertainment, transportation or meals. For example, with vending machines and fast food restaurants on nearly every campus, buying meals every day can really add up. Take a few minutes in the morning to plan and pack your meals and you’ll find yourself saving more than you think. In addition, reduce your banking fees. For students who don’t need all the bells and whistles that come with some account packages, I recommend a low-fee or no-fee chequing account, like Coast Capital’s Free Chequing,

COMING EVENTS

PRIVATE School for Children with Learning Disabilities and/or ADHD Opening in Surrey, British Columbia. Eaton Arrowsmith School (EAS) is opening a branch of their school in Surrey, British Columbia in September 2012. Currently, Eaton Arrowsmith School has branches in Vancouver and Victoria. The school is designed to improve the cognitive functioning of children with learning disabilities and/or attention disorders. Known as neuroplasticity, this improvement of cognitive functioning involves a regimen of cognitive exercises. These exercises, in turn, alter the brain’s neuronal structure and reorganize neural networks and their functions. This results in significantly reduced need for academic support and accommodations. The Arrowsmith School was recently named “The Most Innovative Special Education School” by Sharpbrains.com 2010 Innovation Awards in neuroscience. The Arrowsmith Program is now being utilized in schools across North America. Information Sessions for EAS Surrey will take place at the following locations and dates: October 15th, Saturday - Northview Golf & Country Club - 6857 - 168th Street, Surrey 10 am to 12 pm - November 30th, Wednesday - Ocean Prominade Hotel, 15611 Marine Drive, White Rock - 7 pm to 9 pm - January 24th, Wednesday - Hazelmere Golf & Country Club - 18150 8th Avenue, Surrey - 7 pm to 9 pm. Please RSVP for the information session contact Yuki Ihara at 604-264-8327 or email at reception@eatonarrowsmithschool.com. For anyone interested in more information about EAS Surrey please contact Sandra Heusel, Director of Admissions EAS Vancouver and EAS Surrey at 604264-8327 or sheusel@eatonarrowsmithschool.com
