Woman documents litter in the city
Dog lovers clash outside Surrey courthouse
Trashed Surrey detailed on blog
Supporters, opponents of animal rescue group sound off by Tracy Holmes SUPPORTERS OF a Surrey woman charged in connection with “an elaborate dog-theft investigation” rallied outside Surrey Provincial Court Thursday morning. But the group – carrying posters bearing calls for better animal rights, new animalprotection laws and an end to animal cruelty – did not broadcast their support for A Better Life Dog Rescue’s Janet Olson unopposed. “Jan is going to have a better life in jail,” called out Brad Engel, a North Shore resident who said he has been following the activities of A Better Life Dog Rescue (ABLDR) since “way before” Olson and coJanet Olson accused Louise Reid were charged last month. “I know several people that have had their animals taken,” Engel said, on a break from videotaping the supporters. Olson, 58, and Reid, 59 – also of Surrey and a co-director of ABLDR – were arrested Nov. 21 and are facing charges of break-andenter and theft under $5,000 in connection with a dog that was taken from a Coquitlam backyard that same day. Officers with Surrey’s Property Crime Target Team arrested the pair after reportedly observing them enter the yard and walk away with a bulldog named Samson. Olson is facing an additional charge in connection with the alleged theft of a Jack Russell terrier in Surrey on April 13 of this year. She told The Leader after her arrest that she had “a moral right” to take the dogs.

DANNA CASTO PHOTOS
North Surrey resident Danna Casto has been documenting the garbage she encounters on her regular walks through her neighbourhood. She takes photos of litter and illegal dump sites and posts them on her blog, http://keepcanadaclean. blogspot.com

carts, clothing and food are just some of the items strewn throughout Danna Casto’s neighbourhood. She’s lived in her home at 121 Street and 100 Avenue for 20 years, and the litter always been bad, but never this messy. Casto has diligently called the city whenever she sees trash that’s been dumped, using the new automated reporting system. However, her breaking point was a chair. It had been dumped, and the city’s website didn’t have the appropriate cross street to report it. “Then I realized there was another chair, and Danna Casto another chair,” Casto said in an interview Thursday. “Then I’d come back from my dog walks, and I can’t remember where all that stuff was.” So for almost two weeks, she’s been bringing her camera with her on dog walks or when she takes her daughter to school or swim lessons. From there, she created a blog, itemizing the trash she sees on her journey.

TIPS TO PROTECT YOUR LOCAL CREEKS AND STREAMS
During the next few months there is going to be a lot of rain. After it falls rain goes, untreated, down the storm drain straight to streams and creeks taking harmful chemicals and pollutants with it. Everyone needs to do their part to help protect the local streams and creeks because salmon and trout need a clean and healthy habitat. By taking preventative measures and making environmentally wise choices you can prevent pollution from reaching local streams and creeks.
FISH TIPS
1
The rain washes dirt and oil from driveways down the storm drain, so make sure when you clean your driveway that you direct all dirt and water onto your grass as it acts as a natural filter.
2
If you see a storm drain covered with debris, take a second and clear it off. This will prevent flooding and keep the debris from going down the storm drain which can affect fish habitat.
ONLY RAIN DOWN THE STORM DRAIN IF YOU SEE A SPILL CALL 604-590-7226

Resident: Hundreds of images From page 1 The inventory of garbage is overwhelming. Since Dec. 4, Casto estimates she has recorded more than 200 pictures showing a large amount of litter. Casto says she doesn’t blame the city; crews come out to clean up whenever she calls. She thinks the problem needs to be tackled in the schools, educating kids on the importance of taking pride in their neighbourhood. And maybe the kids will bring that message back home. “It just kind of hit me that this is ridiculous,” Casto said. “I don’t think this is all over Surrey. I think it’s more concentrated in certain areas and apparently it’s in the areas I go in.” She acknowledges that it’s not all huge dumps of garbage, but the small bits of trash are everywhere. “It’s just this constant stream that you have to follow everywhere you go in this neighourhood,” she says. Since the 48-year-old wife and mother started the blog, she has signed to “adopt” her street to keep it clean. She says it’s a Band-Aid measure, because every time something gets picked up, something else gets dropped on the ground. She recalls seeing the children from a nearby basement suite helping their father carry out a baby seat and throw it onto the train tracks. “How do you respond to a situation like that?” she asks. “I don’t know.” She emailed Surrey councillors and says she received a “standard politician’s reply” promising to forward it to the engineering department or bylaw department. “People have been complaining about this for years,” she said. The Leader reported last March that the city had spent $830,000 in the year previous cleaning up after illegal dumpers.

Animal rights advocates from A Better Life Dog Rescue listen to Jan Olson outside the Surrey courthouse. EVAN SEAL THE LEADER
Olson: A ‘moral obligation’ From page 1 Following a court appearance Thursday, she repeated the sentiment, saying that dogs can’t help themselves, and that new animal-rights legislation is needed. “Any group that has fought for their rights and won has always had to defy an unjust law,” Olson said. Olson wouldn’t discuss the Surrey charge, describing it as “a completely different scenario,” but said she doesn’t dispute they took Samson. “I took the dog out of the yard because a bulldog expert advised me he was going to freeze to death,” she said. Engel and others who gathered to oppose Olson outside the courthouse claimed that a poster displayed by one of Olson’s supporters included at least one photograph of dogs that had been stolen – a claim the supporter denied. “I fostered all of these dogs,” the woman told Engelsupporter Deirdre MacNicol. “Get your story straight, bitch.” The woman refused to disclose her identity – “What does my name have to do with saving these dogs?” she asked MacNicol – but denied being Olson’s coaccused, Louise Reid. Olson-supporter Claudette Tremblay, a Port Coquitlam resident who adopted her dog, Dickins, from ABLDR two years ago, said the Jack Russellcorgie “would have been a goner” if the group hadn’t stepped in. He was scheduled to be euthanized, she said. “I strongly believe in the group,” Tremblay said. In addressing the crowd, Olson showed photographs of dogs in apparent distress – including one whose muzzle was duct-taped shut – but whose treatment she maintained is considered legal. She also told of a dog she adopted that had spent most of his first 12 years tied up outside and alone. She said she rescued the dog from conditions she
described as the “worst hell I have ever seen,” and he lived a better life until his death nine months later. “Did I have a right to take Rupert?” she said, acknowledging some in the crowd didn’t agree she did. “They’re right – I didn’t have a legal right to take him. But Rupert had a right… not to be treated so cruelly. Rupert had a right to be rescued, and I had a moral obligation to protect him, and so do you.” Engel, who owns three dogs, said he is not opposed to rescuing dogs but to the methods Olson is charged with participating in. “Jan can say anything she wants. She’s breaking the law and she shouldn’t. She’s taken home pets,” he said. “I’m all for rescuing dogs, if they need it. There’s protocols you have to follow.” Janet Brito, of Beagle Paws Rescue, said she came from Maple Ridge because she doesn’t want all rescue groups “tarnished by the same brush.” Brito said a man who recently wanted to surrender his dogs hesitated after hearing her first name. He wanted to know if she was the same Janet charged with stealing dogs, she said. “Rescue shouldn’t be about what she’s doing,” Brito said. “It gives rescues a bad name.” Erika and Omar Vasquez said they came to the rally with their five-year-old daughter, Linnea, because the family’s boxer, Chica, was taken last August by a uniformed woman who showed up at their Coquitlam door claiming there had been concerns about the dog’s health. Erika Vasquez said the woman “intimidated” her into handing Chica over, with a promise the dog would be returned. They haven’t seen their two-yearold since. Omar Vasquez described it as “not the right way” to do things. “You have to go through the proper channels,” he said. Olson is due back in court Jan. 26.

IMPAIRED DRIVING
Revise the law
RAESIDE
L
ast week, the B.C. Supreme Court upheld most of the province’s new drinking and driving laws, with a notable exception. That exception – drivers who are believed to have blood alcohol samples over .08 will no longer be subject to automatic roadside penalties, but instead may be tested at a police station, and possibly charged with impaired driving. The new strict laws have had a dramatic effect on many people. More than 23,000 people have been caught up in the net since the new laws went into effect about 14 months ago. Most of them have been given suspensions and stiff monetary penalties. Many others have changed their habits, in some cases drastically. This is for the better. The province estimates that at least 45 lives have been saved, as the number of alcohol-related deaths on the roads has fallen dramatically in the past year. The court decision does, however, come to the welcome conclusion that inordinately stiff penalties cannot be levied by police with virtually no chance to question the decision. Driving with a blood alcohol level over .08 is a criminal offence. Drivers so charged are subject to the judicial process, which comes to a final decision of guilt or innocence based on testimony, the admissibility of evidence and the facts in front of a judge or jury. The province has no right, under the constitution, to decide on criminal law. That authority belongs to Ottawa. The province can levy fines for offences related to drivers’ licences and the use of roads. That’s why the stiff penalties remain for those who blow in the “warn” range of .05 to .08. There are no Criminal Code offences involved. Stiff administrative penalties remain as possibilities for many drivers, so there is no excuse to drink and drive over the Christmas holidays, or at any other time. It is now up to the province to revise the law, so that it provides proper safeguards for people accused of the criminal offence of impaired driving. – Black Press

Green New U.S. policy is flirting with fascism space logged for profit IF ANYONE has any doubts about how far the
AS A RESIDENT of Surrey I am
deeply concerned with the lack of consideration city council is using when approving development. I recently presented council with a petition that almost 100 residents in our neighbourhood had signed concerning the development proposal on 154 Street and 105 Avenue. Not even 24 hours after speaking at the meeting, the proposal sign was down and the developer has his sign up for the condo monstrosity he is developing. The site contains 80 trees that are 100 years old that will be logged for profit by the developer and yet the city does not care and did not listen to the current taxpayers who live in the neighbourhood. So much for the campaign promises of sustained, livable development and green space they all promised the residents of Surrey not even two months ago.
one percent is prepared to go to preserve the status-quo, one only look at the present legislation being considered in the land of the free, the good old U.S.A. A provision in the National Defence Authorization Act would authorize the military to jail anyone it considers a terrorism suspect anywhere in the world without charge or trial, and would include indefinite detention.
The measure would effectively extend the definition of what is considered the U.S. military’s battlefield to anywhere in the world, even the United States. It would seem that our southern neighbour is about to flirt with fascism in an attempt to control the unrest of the 99 percent. As if that isn’t scary enough, the government of Steven Harper thinks it would be a good idea for Canada to sign on and become a party to this draconian insanity.
Benjamin Franklin said, “They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” Let the Americans build their six-thousandmile fence because by the direction they are moving it will undoubtedly protect Canadians much more from them, than it will them from us.

WOULDN’T IT be nice to jump on a commuter train to watch a ball game at Seattle’s Safeco Field? Wouldn’t be nice to take friends, family or a date down south to Pike Place Market, downtown Seattle for a nice dinner, the Seattle Art Museum, the Space Needle, or any of the other big-city places to visit? Wouldn’t it be nice to catch a train in downtown Blaine at the old historic – maybe soon-to-be-remodelled – train station, and visit points south, as far down as San Diego and other points along the way? Well, we have a bit of a window now to make our opinions known to those in the positions of making it happen. I believe it would have heavy Canadian usage.

Recent fire highlights growth issues FIRST OFF, let me point out that it
was welcome news that all occupants of the recent side-by-side house fires in Fleetwood escaped unharmed. It does however highlight some troubling issues with respect to Surrey, past and present councils, and the lack of desire or ability to address illegal suites and defend the older neighbourhoods. I have lived in this community for over 20 years, a few blocks from these houses, and was quite alarmed to find out 25 people lived in the two “single-family” homes. What should also be pointed out is that one house stood originally on this corner lot, but several years ago it was torn down and two houses built. The house that was torn down was newer than my house.
So, in its place, higher-density single-family housing was built in an area where this density does not exist. This no doubt contributed to the fact that both houses caught fire. So, perhaps a large family of six occupied the original house where 25 people now live in two houses.
The area’s roads, parks, parking for cars, enrolment in the local schools are all impacted from this changing of density combined with illegal suites in a neighbourhood not designed for it. This is one corner, of one street of one neighbourhood in Surrey. How

many more are out there? We wonder why all our schools have portables? Get used to it because it will never change in our lifetime, or our children’s lifetime. The city council is just as culpable as the provincial government for lack of infrastructure such as schools and transit when they develop at will and not control the rate of growth. Both levels of government are benefiting through property taxes collected by new development, and the provincial government has increased income tax revenue when people continue to move into the area. Perhaps Ms. Watts will allow some of the house fire victims to move into the new $87-million city hall when it is completed. Lyle Roemer, Fleetwood

TransLink finding less gas to guzzle “EXTENDED” HOLIDAY

8% drop in revenue stream problematic by Jeff Nagel A BIG DROP in TransLink’s gas tax revenue may be
because of the difficult economy, more fuel-efficient cars or a rise in motorists driving out of town for cheaper fill-ups. The latest estimates suggest the transportation authority will end 2011 earning almost $26 million less than it expected from the current 15-cent-perlitre fuel tax it charges within Metro Vancouver. The eight per cent differential – $298.5 million for the full year compared to the $324.3 million budgeted – casts doubt on the future reliability of the gas tax, according to a TransLink third-quarter financial report. The shortfall is particularly troubling because TransLink had just won approval from Metro Vancouver mayors and the provincial government to raise the gas tax another two cents next April to generate an estimated $44 million needed to help fund the Evergreen Line and other transit upgrades. At the current rate, more than half the new money would be eaten up making up for the shortfall – assuming the two-cent increase generates as much as it’s supposed to. Spokesman Ken Hardie said fuel sales are down generally in B.C., but added work is underway to “drill further into the phenomenon.” TransLink has asked federal agencies to look at the revenue capture and reporting systems. One aim, Hardie said, is to determine whether large numbers of drivers are heading to areas free of the TransLink gas tax, like the Fraser Valley or Washington State, where gas is even cheaper. “If we saw lower sales here but remarkably higher

sales in the Fraser Valley, that would speak to the issue of leakage as people go out of their way to get cheaper gas,” he said. “We’re also working with Washington State to check on gas sales near the border.” Vehicles have become steadily more efficient – both by manufacturer design and consumer choice. “If electric vehicles take off, that is very clearly also going to be a factor,” Hardie said. “All of the indications are pointing to people using less fuel. Which is a good thing.” Another factor in the drop in gas sales, Hardie said, appears to be that more motorists are switching to transit. Transit ridership for the first nine months of 2011 is on a record pace, running five per cent ahead of the same period in 2010, when a huge number of visitors rode the system during the Olympics. Although new riders mean more fare revenue, TransLink also normally has to pay for more service, which means a net loss once the lost gas tax is factored in. There was no significant service boost this year, although TransLink did succeed in reconfiguring routes to more efficiently carry riders and generate two per cent more from the farebox with the existing bus fleet. Hardie said the gas tax problem underscores the need to find new and more diversified revenue sources for TransLink – the subject of negotiations next year between mayors and the province. Possible options include an annual vehicle levy or road pricing. TransLink statistics also show complaints from riders are up sharply. Bus passengers are most frequently complaining about overcrowded buses, full buses that pass them without stopping as well as buses that arrive earlier or later than scheduled.

Man accused of having sex with 13-year-old Police warn parents to watch kids’ online activities by Robert Freeman A 20-YEAR-OLD Surrey man has been arrested for allegedly starting up a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old Chilliwack girl using online networks Facebook and iPod. “They had several online conversations and shared explicit photos of themselves to each other,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. “The two also met personally on more than one occasion where sexual offences were committed.” She said parental control of children using popular online social networks is the key to preventing
such incidents. “A lot of parents may not know what their kids are up to,” she said, when they click onto Facebook or iPod’s Peer-to-Peer application. “We want to alert parents to know these things are happening.” Many computer devices have settings to limit access to inappropriate matters and protect children from online predators. The 20-year-old suspect was arrested in Surrey and released on conditions including having no contact with the Chilliwack girl. He is facing several sex-related charges.
Two double stabbings by Kevin Diakiw FOUR MEN were injured in
two double stabbings on the weekend. Police were called to the Wheelhouse Pub at 2 a.m. Saturday after a fight broke out after someone was reportedly touched inappropriately. The skirmish spilled out into the parking lot, where a 28-year-old man was stabbed in the abdomen and a 27-year-old was sliced in the left forearm.
A 17-year-old male was arrested and a 26-year-old man is still being sought in that attack. Then police were called to another double stabbing at 2:45 p.m. at Hazelnut Meadows Community Park, in the 14000 block of 68 Avenue. Two men were walking through the park when they were confronted by four youth who tried to rob them. The men were unable to produce cash and were attacked.
A 61-year-old man was treated at the scene for a minor head wound from a blunt-force trauma, while a 56-year-old was airlifted to hospital with a serious abdominal stab wound. He remains in critical condition Two suspects, 16 and 17 years old, were arrested and are facing charges of assault causing bodily harm. Police are still searching for the other two. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Young mom still SAVE BIG! % missing after 5 years 88 Surrey convict, now deceased, linked to woman
by Vikki Hopes A SURREY MAN who died in prison while serving a sentence for a manslaughter conviction has been linked to the case of a missing Abbotsford woman. Black Press has learned that Darryl Cole, 44, was a “person of interest” in the disappearance of Candace Shpeley, missing since March 31, 2007. The single mother, who was 23 at the time, left behind two young daughters and a son. Cole was convicted of beating Michael Gerald Larson to death with a bat during a marijuana grow rip in Surrey in December 2007 and was sentenced to 13-and-ahalf years in prison. He was found dead in his jail cell in Kent Institution in July of this year. Foul play was not suspected. Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), which is handling the Shpeley case, confirmed Cole’s connection. “He was a person of interest in that he was one of the last people with Candace before she disappeared,” Pound said, adding that many others are also considered “persons of interest” in the matter. Candace’s father, Barry Shpeley, said he is aware Cole was with his daughter in the days before her disappearance. “From what I gather, he was the last person to see (Candace).” Barry said he met Cole once for a few minutes at Candace’s home in Abbotsford about three weeks before she disappeared. He does not believe the two were in a relationship. He attended Cole’s sentencing hearing in the manslaughter case earlier this year. “There were a lot of questions I wanted him to answer, but he wouldn’t speak to me.” Barry hopes that anyone who knows what might have happened to Candace comes forward. On the day she went missing, she had lunch with her brother at an A & W restaurant in downtown Chilliwack. She visited friends in Surrey that evening, and Cole

Barry said they would all like to know what happened. “Our lives have continued on. It’s a little hard some days. You always think about her... We’d just like some closure.” Anyone with information is asked to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

DSBIA 2010 INTERN NAMED AS RHODES SCHOLAR!
ROUND-UP CAFÉ WINS SURREY GREEN BUSINESS AWARD Written by Sylvia Taylor
Since 2005, the DSBIA has had twenty SFU Co-op students, all bright students who bring a wealth of up-to-date skills and enthusiasm to the workplace. Recently awarded a 2012 Rhodes Scholarship, Sarah St. John (above) was one of our summer interns in 2010 and a great example of the type of students that employers can hire through SFU Co-op. While employed by the DSBIA, Sarah conducted our 2010 Annual Safety Audit, assisted with numerous events and did preliminary work on sustainability focusing on restaurants. Sarah St. John doesn’t graduate with a bachelor of science from the faculty of health sciences and a certi¿cate in sustainable community development from the faculty of environment until next spring. But British Columbia’s newest Rhodes scholar knows she’ll use it to pursue a master’s in public policy at Oxford University. The award is worth up to $100,000. “I love learning about how global, national and local policies affect the ability of communities to address environmental, social and economic determinants of health and well-being,” says St. John. The three-time recipient of Canadian Red Cross awards has worked extensively in a variety of volunteer awareness-raising capacities with the organization, including coordinating Humanity Strikes Back — a youth conference. In 2010, she was a youth delegate with the International Federation of the Red Cross at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Mexico. Only one of 11 annual Rhodes scholarships awarded in Canada goes to a B.C. recipient. Elizabeth Elle, an SFU associate professor of biology, sat on the 2012 seven-member Rhodes selection committee for B.C. “Sarah was impressive in the depth of her commitment to service, and also in her academic breadth,” says Elle. “She has done extremely well in both challenging science courses as well as a diverse array of social sciences courses. Not many individuals can excel across the disciplines the way Sarah has.” Rhode Scholar candidates must achieve a high standard of intellectual and academic success, and demonstrate strong leadership, community engagement and a commitment to improving the state of the world. In addition to her international public service work crossing many disciplines, St. John has maintained a 4.1 GPA and enjoys a variety of recreational activities, including hiking, paddling and Cuban salsa dancing. The DSBIA congratulates Sarah on her achievements and encourages other employers to consider hiring SFU Co-op students in the future.
For over fifty years, the Round-up Café and the Springematic family has been a cornerstone of the North Surrey community, nurturing everyone from hungry locals to Little Leaguers. Now they have another way of making their neighbourhood and the world a little ‘greener’, and Surrey loves them for it.
“If the environment is going to get cleaned up, it’s one person at a time, one small business at a time, not just the Big Guys,” says City Councilor, Bob Bose, Environmental Advisory Committee member and Green Awards adjudicator. “The Round-Up Café is an absolutely outstanding example of personal small business response to the challenge.”
At a recent City Awards Program gala at the new City Centre Library, the Round-up Café was awarded The Green City Award in the business category, which recognizes Surrey leaders in environmental stewardship. The annual award is part of a celebration of excellence that recognizes achievements in five areas: urban design, community Written by Sylvia Taylor beautification, environmental stewardship, energy conservation and community support.

Bill Rempel, Vice President and General Manager of Central City is particularly proud of this award due to the important role beautification plays in the revitalization of a city.”

Maclean’s Magazine looked at 100 of the country’s biggest cities SURREY IS the 10th
most dangerous city in the country, according to a national magazine poll. Maclean’s magazine obtained the crime data from Statistics Canada of the 100 largest cities in the country. The publication measured the 2010 rates of crimes per 100,000 people. Offenses measured included homicide, sexual assault, aggravated assault, vehicle theft,
robbery and breaking and entering. The Maclean’s study ranked Surrey 10th worst out of the 100 measured (an improvement by two points from the previous year). Outranking this city in crimes measured (in order from most dangerous) were Prince George, Victoria, Saskatoon, Red Deer, Regina, Grande Prairie, Kelowna, Wood Buffalo and Winnipeg. Surrey was 58.2 per cent higher in the six
categories of than the national average. This city’s rank in violent crime was sixth and non-violent crime was 13th. Delta came in 66th highest, with the same rank in violent crime and non-violent was 65th. Delta experienced an 18.2-per-cent drop in crimes measured. Surrey saw a 21.2-percent drop in those crimes. Most cities examined showed a drop in the crimes studied.
The study also showed Surrey has the third-highest car theft rate in the country, at 154 per cent above the national average. It was edged out by Joliette, Quebec (184 per cent) and Langley Township (177 per cent) for auto theft. Mayor Dianne Watts said she’s not satisfied with the results, adding fighting crime requires a multifaceted approach. The city has held up its side, she said, by hiring police, but the province
and the federal government need to hold up their end by ensuring meaningful sentences follow charges.

SURREY RCMP descended on two homes and a
vehicle as local police took part in a massive nationwide sweep of organized crime on Tuesday. Targets were believed to be involved in murder, gun crimes, drug trafficking and other offenses. Nation-wide, 67 warrants were executed as 900 police officers conducted a sweep in three provinces, including Ontario, Alberta and B.C. Surrey RCMP arrested a 24-year-old Surrey man on a Canada-wide warrant Tuesday night as part of the sweep. He is being held on drug-related charges and may be flown back to Ontario. Toronto Police Service (TPS) said in a news release that in May, the TPS integrated gun and gang task force, in partnership with the London Police Service, Waterloo Regional Police Service and the Ontario Provincial Police, entered into the joint−forces criminal organization investigation. Eventually, it spread to other jurisdictions including Saskatoon, Fort McMurray, Alta., and Vancouver, the release said. Project Marvel involved organized crime, attempted murder, firearms trafficking and importation, robbery, prostitution and other offences, it said. Police have yet to release details about the total number of people arrested or any charges.

Police raids from Vancouver to Surrey A PRE-DAWN blitz in Metro Vancouver shut down five meth labs from Vancouver to Surrey last week. At 5 a.m. Thursday, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. (CFSEU) executed five warrants, two in Vancouver, two in Port Moody and one in Surrey, in the 9400 block of 189 Street. The investigation, led by the CFSEU’s Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Enforcement Unit, has been underway for some time. Police believe the
labs are tied to B.C. biker gangs. Two arrests have already been made and more are expected. About 150 police officers took part in the raids, including RCMP, Vancouver Police, and various other agencies. The drug labs were found at two businesses and three private residences. “It demonstrates organized crime’s continued involvement in chemical drug production,� said Insp. Rob Johnston, who leads CFSEU’s Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Enforcement Unit.

wo weeks ago, on a whim, staff at the Surrey Archives decided to gather vintage images for a slide show to show at their Christmas party. With their recently updated computer database, the search word – Christmas – turned up “a huge slough of images,” says reference specialist Ryan Gallagher. As reference assistant Fiona Corr gathered the photos, Gallagher got
to work organizing the images of local Yuletide activities from the last century. The collection of mostly blackand-white images includes Christmas parties, dinners, Christmas tree lots, present-openings and kids with Santa throughout Surrey’s communities. The majority of the photos are from the 1960s, part of the Surrey Leader collection, which was recently scanned and digitized. “It’s one of the most important
archives we have,” says Gallagher. Other Christmas photos the Archives have shared with the public here are from Stan McKinnon and Bill Hastings collections. Thousands of images among the Surrey Archive’s collection of more than 100,000 photos are searchable online at www.surrey.ca/heritage The Surrey Archives are located at 17671 65 Ave. For more information, call 604-502-6459 or email archives@surrey.ca bjoseph@surreyleader.com

IN OLD-FASHIONED
gardens, Helleborus niger, or the Christmas rose, was certainly one of the best known winter flowers, and for 2005 the whole helleborus family was chosen as the Perennial Plant of the Year. The earliest to flower, H. niger, is native to many parts of Europe, in particular to the subalpine woods of Austria and northern Italy, and many varieties are available, some hardy to -30°F. Helleborus niger is so named because its roots are black; the blossoms, however, are pure white. Depending upon the type of winter we have and the variety of helleborus, blooming can begin in December and continue well into late March. The Heuger Company, under the leadership of Josef Heuger, has bred fabulous earlier blooming H. nigers that have glossy green leaves and offer superior garden performance. The earliest to bloom is H.n. Jacob. It blooms about two weeks earlier than other varieties. It has strong stems and upright blossoms that are far larger and showier. Its tough shiny green foliage allows it to be brought indoors in a cool room for the Christmas season and

then be planted out in mild weather after the holiday season. Helleborus niger Josef Lemper has very large flowers on robust stems, and it too is very showy because of its upward facing blooms. It has superior garden performance and makes a wonderful addition to our winter gardens. Helleborus plants can be propagated from seed or from divisions; the latter is certainly the fastest way to achieve a blooming plant. Up until a few years ago, finding helleborus was difficult because they usually arrived bare root from Holland and were exceedingly tough to re-root. With the growing interest, and with tissue culture and new seeding techniques, more perennial growers have begun producing them, and they are now quite plentiful. I would recommend that the home gardener purchase only well

established plants that have been grown in a container for at least one year. Helleborus niger, like many other winterflowering plants, should be placed in a protected spot, next to a house, wall or in front of a protective barrier of evergreens, but always out of cold winter winds. The more protected their location, the earlier and longer they will bloom. They also prefer a semi-shaded site, but it is important that they receive some sun in winter. A location under deciduous trees is ideal, as long as the shade is not too dense. A cool, moist situation is preferred, and deep watering is essential during periods of drought. Any soil in your garden that produces good flowering plants will usually suit helleborus. Container-grown plants can be set out at any time of the year, but it is wise to prepare a deep planting hole because the roots must stretch down, not outward. It is also important to set the crowns of the plants just below the soil line. Good drainage is essential, as the fleshy roots will not tolerate wet feet, however, they love “humusy” conditions.
I have found a mixture of peat, bark mulch and bone meal helpful in the development of new root growth. Once established, helleborus plants need little care. Although aphids can sometimes be a problem, few other insects bother them. Even slugs tend to shy away from their bitter leaves. They love to be fertilized, and a feeding of 10-15-19 fertilizer in early spring and midsummer is ideal to help develop a strong root system and plenty of flowers. You’ll find that most helleborus are rather slow growing perennials. It may take a year or two before they begin flowering in earnest. To get more plants, it is often tempting to divide smaller clumps in half, but you must be careful. No dividing should take place until the plants have at least a dozen or more strong leaves on a good sized clump. The larger the clump grows, the more bountiful the flowers. I always remember a fresh bouquet of Christmas roses on my grandmother’s hearth each Christmas.
