Protesters occupy part of South Fraser Perimeter Road route Spring celebrations
Road opponents camp out

Meanwhile, children from Khalsa School (below) ride on a float at Surrey’s Vaisakhi parade, which drew recordbreaking crowds of about 150,000 people to the Newton area on Saturday. The local parade is the largest outside India.
by Jeff Nagel ABOUT 25 PROTESTERS camped out over the Easter weekend on a section of the planned South Fraser Perimeter Road and some were vowing to stay longer to disrupt construction of the contentious truck freeway they condemn as climate crime. The makeshift camp – with tents, tarps, a teepee, fire and a kitchen – went up on Earth Day (Friday), as protesters planted seedlings in the path of road-building crews in North Delta’s Annieville neighbourhood. “We’re being put at risk of asthma, cancer – if you’re pregnant your baby will have a lower IQ – because of the diesel particulate fallout,” said North Delta resident Richelle Giberson, one of the protesters. “We’re being put at risk to get stuff to Wal-Mart.” Giberson said the perimeter road goal is to help triple cargo flow through the port, which she said will lead to more local air pollution – in part because the freeway won’t be free-flowing but will be initially built with some intersections and stop lights. “We’re going to have triple the amount of trucks sitting idling at intersections.” The protest encampment is being coorEric Doherty dinated by activists from multiple groups under the banner of stopthepave.org. “I have no plans to leave,” said Surrey resident Tom Jaugelis, one of the organizers camped there. “At this time, I’m staying here indefinitely.” Organizer Eric Doherty said an extended occupation is possible and protesters will decide among themselves each day whether it makes sense to continue. Doherty said he believes direct action coupled with a court challenge launched by the Burns Bog Conservation Society can still stop construction of the $1.2-billion perimeter road,

Cadman ducks media and meetings With election looming, incumbent Tory candidate is simply too busy, says staffer by Kevin Diakiw SURREY-NORTH Conservative incumbent Dona Cadman will not be making herself available for any all-candidates meetings or press interviews prior to election day, her office confirmed Monday. “I apologize, unfortunately she’s quite busy,” a staffer at her campaign office said. “She’s been out doorknocking and talking with the public.” Cadman pulled out of one all-candidates meeting this month a day before the event, failed to complete a community questionnaire and has refused to respond to repeated requests for media interviews. In fact, she even bowed out of The Leader’s riding coverage, where all candidates are given generous space to state their positions. Requests for comment as to why she’s ducking media questions were denied. “Sadly, her schedule is quite booked since the first day of the election,” said the staffer, who refused to give her name. Despite her busy calendar, Cadman has been seen at several events including a student art show opening

Teen killed in double stabbing Weekend murder outside Surrey high school by Kevin Diakiw A TEEN IS DEAD after a double stabbing at a Newton high school Sunday night. Two victims were found at about 8:30 p.m. in the rear of Frank Hurt Secondary near 138 Street and 77 Avenue. Police believe they were drinking and playing soccer when three men approached them, getting into a verbal exchange. Three more males joined in the argument, which escalated into a physical assault and stabbing of the original two. BOAZ JOSEPH PHOTOS / THE LEADER
‘We’re being put at risk to get stuff to Wal-Mart,’ says Richelle Giberson, who argues the building of the South Fraser Perimeter Road will cause more pollution and destroy natural habitat, creating health problems for residents. Below is a section beside the Fraser River that has been cleared to make way for the contentious truck freeway.

SFPR: Province says will reduce congestion From page 1 which will run 40 kilometres from Deltaport to the Golden Ears Bridge and Highway 1. The project is 27 per cent built and slated to finish in two stages by late 2012 and late 2013. More than 560 properties have been acquired, including 93 homes that have or are being demolished, a dozen of which were expropriated. Construction is underway throughout the route. A transportation ministry spokesperson said peaceful pro-
tests are part of the democratic process and didn’t anticipate any work would be held up. The province maintains the project will dramatically reduce congestion, particularly on Delta’s River Road, often jammed with trucks, as well as some arterial routes in Surrey. But critics contend the project is coming at the expense of large swathes of farmland, some of the best First Nations archaelogical sites in the region and considerable amounts of wildlife and riparian zones. jnagel@surreyleader.com
One of them, a 19-year-old from Surrey, died from his injuries. The other is being treated in hospital and remains in serious condition. Investigators believe the six suspects fled southwest on foot through a greenbelt that leads onto 76 Avenue. The suspects are all described as young Indo-Canadian males, dressed in dark clothing and thought to be approximately 20 years of age. Investigators would like to speak to anyone who can provide details about any suspicious activity around the school or the greenbelt between 8 and 9 p.m. on Sunday night. Anyone with information is asked to call the IHIT TIP Line at 1-877551-4448 (IHIT). If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

FEDERAL POLITICS
The truth about the Bloc
RAESIDE
O
ne of the best things that has happened in the 2011 federal election campaign has been the willingness of other political parties to speak honestly and openly about the Bloc Quebecois, and why it is not entitled to even a scrap of power in the federal government. While Conservative leader Stephen Harper has been the most forceful about the Bloc’s aim being to break up the country, both Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff and NDP leader Jack Layton have also been more honest about the Bloc. Both have said they would not be part of any coalition with the Bloc, which is very different from what happened after the 2008 federal election, when the Liberals and NDP signed a formal coalition agreement, and the Bloc agreed in writing to support it for a fixed period. If voters in Quebec choose to vote for the Bloc and, in some ridings, elect Bloc MPs, that is their right. We live in a democracy and candidates from all sorts of perspectives run in every riding across the country. However, MPs who are committed to taking Quebec out of the country and, as recently as last weekend, pledged to do everything within their power to assist the provincial Parti Quebecois in doing so, should not have their hands even close to the levers of power. By definition, they want Canada to fail. They want to show Quebeckers that a federal system does not work. The Bloc should be a spent force. It formed after the failure of the Meech Lake Accord and, at the time, had some legitimacy. Meech’s failure and the rejection of the Charlottetown Accord angered many Quebeckers. But that was more than 20 years ago. The only reason the Bloc still thrives is because of federal subsidies to political parties. It raises minimal funding on its own, and wins many of its seats by virtue of splitting the vote. Polls show that only about one-third of Quebeckers support separation. The best way to have those numbers fall further is by working on positive initiatives which help all parts of the country, and by other parties pledging to have no truck nor trade with the Bloc. - Black Press

A showcase of the latest computergenerated 3D effects, including a rendering of actor Jeff Bridges as he looked in the original version 30 years ago, Tron: Legacy was nominated for an Oscar and won several other awards for technical achievement. The sleek, lighted suits worn by characters were custom-made in the United States at a cost of $22 million, then brought to Vancouver for filming. Due to the vagaries of the old provincial sales tax, Disney had to pay about $1.5 million in PST because they were used here. A friend in the business tells me this was more of a deterrent to movie production in B.C. than the current weakness of the U.S. dollar.

notably restaurants, but ask a self-employed person or small business operator if they’d like to go back to administering two different sales taxes. Quarterly HST rebate cheques went out last week to more than a million B.C. residents at the lowest end of the income scale. Ask those people if they’d like to lose that benefit, a real example of the kind of income equalizing measure that Dix calls his top priority. Ask a laid-off mill employee if he’d like to go back to work, and pay HST on movies and a dinner out. • Further to last week’s column about Dix’s plan to raise corporate tax rates, I now regret referring to his program as “Marxism Lite.” I fell for his strident rhetoric about taxing big corporations. His proposal amounts to raising the tax on corporate net income in excess of $500,000 by a modest two per cent. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

ELECTING AN MP in NewtonNorth Delta riding – what choice do we have? It is ironic that the main parties need visible minority votes to form a majority government. But for Newton-North Delta voters, the choice is simple. Forget your political ideologies and vote for the best candidate who will represent the riding more effectively than the incumbent has done. The current Member of Parliament has abysmal record of attending the parliament and his Liberal party leader has one of the worst attendance record. Paid by taxpayers to miss the work – this is totally unacceptable. Also, the most single important issue, besides health care and economy, that affects the main stream Canadians has hardly received any attention and that is immigration going forward. While other countries like UK, France and Germany are admitting that multiculturalism has totally failed, the Canadian politicians are playing politics with immigrant communities over the need of an effective and major changes to our immigration and multicultural policies. When a child born in Canada enrolls is our school system as an ESL student it is a red flag that multi-culture and family reunification programs have drastically failed. The taxpayers cannot continue to fund these ESL programs, privately run religious schools, old age securities to senior immigrants and the so called astronaut immigrants from Asian countries who have absolutely no desire to pay Canadian taxes but reap the benefits of free medicine, education and our “on sale” resident properties. The three candidates of the major parties are of East Indian origin and I doubt it that anyone of them would be willing to discuss the negatives of current immigration and multi-cultural policies since their electability is totally dependent on the Sikh community votes. I will vote for who will represent the riding best; not with the notion that I should vote for him or her because they look like one of us. S. Bhatia, North Delta

us. We don’t have kids, and we don’t have a secondary suite. On “garbage day”, we put out one or two garbage cans and a blue box. This is in striking contrast to the vast number of our neighbours who have one or more secondary suites, and line up long rows of garbage and recycling containers for collection. Ordinarily, I’m quite content to take a “live and let live” approach to this, and I try not to think too much about the issue of people who aren’t paying property taxes realizing the benefits of city services.
However, on Sunday, my wife hosted a baby shower for a friend; a very well attended event that created more than our usual quantity of garbage. Last night, I found that I couldn’t get the last two bags into our two garbage containers. With visions in my head of the mounds of garbage regularly collected from my neighbours, I set the two “extra” bags on top of the garbage cans. This morning I found that the collection folks had tossed the bags on top aside, and only taken the bags that were in the containers.
I’d imagine there are rules about the collection of garbage that’s not in a container? Likewise, there are rules about multiple families living in single-family dwellings. I am disappointed beyond words that the City of Surrey has seemingly abdicated its responsibility to enforce the latter, while its contract garbage collector is so zealously enforcing the former. Please, can’t we employ just a little common sense? Jason White
Don’t vote for broken system
A letter writer suggests that election apathy among young voters results from a system that protects parties whose MPs aren’t interested in representing their constituents.
ON MAY 2, I will become another twenty-something who doesn’t vote. There are a lot of theories as to why young people don’t vote – the most common being that we don’t care. This is the theory thought up by middle-aged and senior voters; the majority of whom wouldn’t try to find out the real reason out of sheer contempt brought on by their perceived reason. Instead, they prefer to use different campaign strategies and technologies and see the stats after the fact. While some youth may flat-out not care, the majority of youth I know, and myself, see the flaws in a system the older generation has been habitually conditioned to believe in. In the grade 11 curriculum, parliament is described as the place where MPs gather to represent their riding’s views on policy. The youth then head out to the real world, and see the paradox. No matter which party you vote for, you are voting for a party, not a representative. In the ideal, confederate father’s world, candidates present ways they would try to bring their riding’s voice to government. In the real, special-interest driven world, groups of like-minded individuals form a business called a “party”. These parties then present their product, their policy views, to voters in an election, and force them to settle for “good-enough”. In short, we’re supposed to elect MPs to represent our interests in parliament. What we have is a system where MPs represent their party’s interests, and then defend said party from us. I’ll be the first to admit nothing could ever perfect, but in Canada, our system of government actually works vice-versa to how it was designed. Somebody call the Guiness people. The youth don’t vote because we have a fresher memory of the way things should work, and we refuse to support a system that doesn’t work by participating in it. Jordan Braun
Unfair to compare Dona to her husband RE: CADMAN no replacement for
her husband. (The Leader, April 15). I find this letter to be rather unfair to Dona Cadman, because Chuck Cadman, was one of a kind and earned his respect, over many years in politics. Although, I do not wish to speak ill of those, who have passed on, I do want to make it abundantly clear, that not all of us expect Dona Cadman to be a replica of her husband. I feel that we should allow her to be her own person, without having to be unfairly compared, to someone, who we all respect and admired – but is no longer with us. As I remember the events, of days gone by; it was Chuck Cadman, who made a deal with the devil, when he decided to take the side of the Federal Liberals, to save them from a non-confidence vote. I believe that Chuck Cadman
should have known better than to believe that the federal Liberals, would actually change their stripes and do something, about his quest for criminal justice – given that the federal Liberals, have always had a strong, soft-on crime policy and track record. The Liberals failed, to meet their responsibilities with Chuck Cadman; however,
the Conservative Party were more supportive of their candidate and stuck by, Dona Cadman, because I think they saw some of what, they saw in Chuck in Dona Cadman. So if it’s anyone, who’s at fault and should be held to account, it should be the Liberal supporters in Dona Cadman’s constituency who continue to keep comparing
Signs of contention WHAT’S UP WITH these elections signs showing English and then one in a
second language which is not even Canada’s second language? This just points out that you do not really believe in a true multicultural society. I come from German decent and I do not see the German language on these election signs. Multicultural is suppose to mean equal to all. These signs point out to me favoritism to one particular group of people. I cant help but ask the question, if you are voted in will you also show favoritism to that particular group of people? A. Bayer
Dona Cadman to her husband and using this comparison as a negative political wedge – to undermine her individual efforts. It should no secret that who-soever speaketh-up against their boss is bound to experience the wrath of unknown consequences – plenty of evidence currently exists out there. The party line is a very difficult adversary and carries with it, some very harsh repercussions for those who openly challenge it. Therefore, unless a politician is prepared to commit political suicide, in many cases it is more prudent just to step aside and not be a part of the vote – such as the case of Dona Cadman and the HST. I would strongly suggest to you, that this was the only way Dona Cadman could go, at the time. Jan C. Koza

managing crowds and celebrations in Delta during NHL playoffs could run up to $100,000. The Delta Police board advised Delta council of the estimated extra cost last Monday (April 18). Sgt. Sharlene Brooks said the Delta department is working with the Surrey RCMP on a joint operational plan to manage crowds that often gather in North Delta on 120 Street (Scott Road) between 70 and 72 Avenue after playoff games featuring the Vancouver Canucks. “It could potentially be up to $100,000, and that is dependent on how far the Vancouver

one,” she said, noting people of all ages come out to support the team. Brooks asked that revelers stay on the sidewalks and follow police directions to help keep traffic moving. “We’re finding people are very cooperative and we certainly want to keep that trend going during the playoffs.” She added police officers are also on hand to ensure emergency vehicles can access the area if anyone has a medical emergency, whether it be someone celebrating or a local resident. “We want to make sure we’re looking after those bigger picture issues as well,” Brooks said. editor@southdeltaleader.com

Canuck mob sparks cop’s lawsuit against RCMP Officer who had his leg broken two years ago is suing his bosses by Kevin Diakiw AN RCMP OFFICER is suing
his bosses for not adequately protecting him during a raucous Canucks celebration in Newton two years ago. RCMP member Rasheed Mohammed Koya attended a large gathering at 72 Avenue and Scott Road in April, 2009, when a mob showed up to sound off about a Canucks win. The crowd became large, and a group got physical with police. “One individual from this crowd pushed a junior RCMP member, and an altercation ensued,” according to a statement
of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court April 19. Koya attempted to arrest the individual, who resisted, causing Koya to fall. Three people then fell on top of him, breaking his leg. The B.C. Ambulance Service had trouble accessing the area because of the large crowd, which peaked at around 1,500 people. Koya underwent surgery two on April 23, when steel was inserted to his tibia and fibula to reinforce them. “The RCMP failed to protect the Plaintiff while he was on duty, and the RCMP failed to adequately respond to the inci-
dent that gave rise to his injury,” the statement of claim says. On May 5, 2009, Koya was scheduled for a tryout for the Emergency Response Team (ERT), but was forced to cancel it because of the injury to his leg. “As a result of the steel that was inserted into the Plaintiff ’s leg to reinforce his bones, he remains unable to complete the rigorous six week training program required to successfully become part of the ERT,” the claim states. Koya is seeking general, aggravated and punitive damages as well as costs. A statement of defense has not been filed yet. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

reached to avert a strike by longshoremen at B.C. ports. The 3,500 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada (ILWU) are expected to vote next week on the on the prospective deal reached late Sunday. Union leaders are unanimously recommending acceptance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good for stability, reliability and predictability for Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
West Coast ports,â&#x20AC;? ILWU president Tom Dufresne said. The union had conducted a strike vote in February but never issued 72-hour strike notice. Details have not been released but Dufresne confirmed the deal does provide a pay increase. Representatives of both Port Metro Vancouver and affected shipping companies said they are cautiously optimistic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are looking forward to both parties ratifying the deal and bringing the kind of stability and
certainty to the Pacific Gateway that grows the gateway,â&#x20AC;? said Greg Vurdela, spokesman for the B.C. Maritime Employers Association (BCMEA). He had previously warned the mere threat of a strike by unionized longshore workers was resulting in cargo shipments being diverted from Port Metro Vancouver terminals to U.S. ports. The BCMEA had demanded a method of going to binding arbitration to avoid long periods of labour uncertainty.

UNIONIZED SkyTrain workers have ratified a new three-year contract that ensures labour peace on the Expo and Millennium Lines. The deal with TransLinkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s SkyTrain subsidiary gives the roughly 530 members of CUPE local 7000 a three per cent pay hike in the first year, retroactive to last September. Trades workers get an extra
half point. Wage increases in the second and third years will be tied to whatever settlement is reached with bus drivers and maintenance workers at Coast Mountain Bus Co., where bargaining has just begun. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Coast Mountain Bus is able to negotiate a raise, we would be able to get that as well,â&#x20AC;? union local president Bill Magri said. The three-per-cent
lift in the first year also mirrors the final year of the old Coast Mountain contract. Magri said the deal avoids any contract concessions and creates a process to potentially establish a defined benefit pension plan. The SkyTrain employees include attendants, control room operators, administrative staff and other workers who maintain trains, tracks
and stations. Canada Line workers represented by the BCGEU have also ratified a three-year first contract with operator ProTransBC. Wage details arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being disclosed. Both unions had taken strike votes although neither had taken the threat to the stage of issuing 72-hour strike notice. jnagel@surreyleader.com

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that 20-year-old Dmitry Smirnov of Surrey turned himself in to police not long after he repeatedly shot Jitka Vesel in a parking lot in Oak Brook, a suburb outside of Chicago in western Illinois. The Tribune is reporting prosecutors said Smirnov moved to the Chicago area in 2008 after meeting Vesel through an online dating service. Vesel eventually

Daytime shooting injures man Police are investigating a shooting in Newton that left a young man in hospital on Friday (April 22). At about 2 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a call of several shots fired in the neighbourhood of 126 Street and 67B Avenue. A young man, who appeared to be injured, was seen leaving the area in a vehicle. The victim, a 21-yearold from Surrey, was located in hospital with a minor wound. He was not cooperative and is known to police. It is believed the incident occurred on or near the street and there is no indication at this stage of a con-

She filed a complaint with police after Smirnov threatened to harm her. He returned to Illinois, buying a 40-calibre handgun and ammunition along the way, the Tribune is reporting. He attached a GPS device to Veselâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car and tracked her for several days, prosecutors are quoted as saying. On Wednesday night, Smirnov approached her in a parking lot and started shooting. As he was reloading, she threw her coffee on him and fell to the ground. He continued firing, prosecutors say.

Police found a gun in his car and 11 casings at the scene, Berlin said. Smirnov later provided a videotaped confession. The prosecutor said Smirnov went through with his plan after researching to see if Illinois had the death penalty. Just weeks ago, Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation banning the death penalty in the state. Smirnovâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next court appearance is May 9. It is possible he could get life in prison if found guilty.

Berg and the front-seat passenger were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries but the rear-seat passenger, Ryan Grant, a 19-year-old Coquitlam resident, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Industry warns thousands of jobs at risk at Fraser Downs by Jennifer Lang AMID A GROWING
clamour by horsemen to extend the harness racing season at Fraser Downs in 2012, owner Great Canadian Gaming Corp. is standing firm. A split, six-month season is the best way to preserve horse racing at both of the company’s B.C. racetracks, Fraser Downs and Hastings Park, where the 2011 thoroughbred season gets underway Saturday. “When you have standardbred and thoroughbred racing, the last thing you want to do is to have them compete for the entertainment dollar,” Howard Blank, Great Canadian’s vicepresident of marketing said, responding to the decision by B.C.’s standardbred industry to press for a longer season, warning thou-

two racetracks must avoid competing for customers. Great Canadian is hoping to finalize the fall 2011 and 2012 racing seasons by the end of May, earlier than last year, when race days at Fraser Downs were cut by 30 per cent and the 2011 season was temporarily suspended. It’s too soon to tell whether the Public
Gaming and Enforcement Branch will approve a longer season in 2012 – or if eight conditional race dates will be added to the fall 2011 schedule, bringing the total number of race days this year to 82. According to a spokesperson at the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General, the Gaming Enforcement Branch will be in a better position to determine that once Great Canadian’s application is received and performance indicators from the January to April component of the 2011 season wrapping up tonight are assessed. Average race handles, the number of B.C.-owned horse starts, and the number of horses per race are among the factors that will determine if those conditional dates are approved.

cil’s rejection of a 1,500slot machine destination casino downtown means the spurned developers may soon be placing their bets on other nearby cities. Paragon Gaming president Scott Menke told reporters Tuesday he remains committed to finding a “permanent destination in the Lower Mainland.” That echoed previous comments by B.C. Lottery Corp. CEO Michael Graydon, who said in February a rejection in Vancouver would “certainly” prompt a look at sites in other Metro Vancouver cities, potentially as far as Abbotsford. “There could be some knocking on our door,” said City of North Vancouver Mayor Darrell Mussatto. “My feeling is that a casino development, especially one that size, would not be successful in this city.” But he said he would not be surprised if the North Shore was considered, noting the BCLC has identified its 175,000 population as the largest in B.C. not yet served by casino facilities. He said one group has proposed a community gaming centre with a modest number of slots and bingo, but has so far failed to gain approval. Another possibility is First Nations reserve land on the North Shore. Squamish Nation Chief Gibby Jacob said his office has not been approached about any casino project and could not predict how one would be received by his council. Port Moody was also mentioned by Graydon earlier this year as a potential host city, but mayor Joe Trasolini said then it wouldn’t fly. Most other cities in Metro Vancouver already have casinos and a new development would compete against the existing facility, cannibalizing the flow of revenue generated for the host city. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts gave no
in Vancouver comes as a relief to Richmond’s council, which feared a downtown casino on the Canada Line would suck gamblers away from River Rock and reduce the nearly $12-million annual share of revenue the municipality receives. Vancouver councillors cited various concerns, including problem gambling and money laundering, as well as expanded gambling being out-of-step with their vision for a green, livable city. The most optimistic estimates pointed to Vancouver collecting $14 million and the provincial government taking in $140 million a year from the redeveloped casino, which was to replace the much smaller Edgewater Casino. BCLC estimated Lower Mainland gamblers are capable of spending an additional $300 million a year. Graydon previously said BCLC could also look at expanding existing casinos or community gaming centres to fully exploit that market if the Vancouver site was rejected.

Battle in a longtime conservative riding RIDING PROFILE: South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale by Alex Browne
T
he election campaign in the South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale has been billed as a battle of conservatives. And while there are some notable exceptions – NDP candidate Susan Keeping for one, and others who may debate the level of their past and present conservatism – the fact remains that the largely suburban/rural riding has long been a stronghold for representatives of Canada’s conservative parties (including former Progressive Conservatives and Canadian Alliance members). In the current race, rumblings of discontent with the representation of Conservative incumbent Russ Hiebert are evident in the arrival of new candidates of former Conservative affiliation, as well as other independents and party candidates. Hiebert has faced criticism, since being first elected in 2004, for being “parachuted” into the riding, has weathered storms of criticism over personal spending and has been characterized as an MP too willing to toe the party line and not be proactive enough in representing constituents concerns. The big question is whether any of the opponents can challenge the hold Hiebert has on the riding (he received 31,216 votes in 2008; the Liberal runnerup received 11,515), or whether they will split any anti-Hiebert vote, effectively ensuring the return of the staunch Harper supporter to Ottawa. Typically, Hiebert refuses to be drawn by the baiting of other candidates who insist his performance is an election issue. He said constituents have voiced two top issues: “the economy” and “crime.” “This election they have a choice between the Conservative lower taxes, job and growth creating, anti-crime program or the Liberal-NDP-Bloc Quebecois job destroying, high tax, soft-oncrime agenda,” he said. Hiebert said he has been hearing from constituents who like the “management” Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been offering and “recognize the strong position in which Canada has emerged out of the economic downturn,” citing 500,000 recently created jobs.

“They’re concerned about the instability and higher taxes that the NDP-Liberal-Bloc Quebecois coalition will bring,” he said, noting constituents he has talked to cross all demographic lines, ranging from seniors to young families – who have responded well to the Conservatives’ income-splitting proposal for taxes, which he said he has
long championed. Crime is a concern for all, he said. “They want to know their community is safe. They watch the evening news and they see criminals getting let go, and they’re asking ‘how is it possible these guys are getting released?’ They want to know the government in office is there to protect them.”

He noted Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff has said he is going to revisit some of the Conservatives’ anti-crime legislation, but hasn’t specified which laws. “People are often unaware of the legislation we’ve put in place to crack down on guns and drugs and related offences; but when they realize what we’ve done they’re often happier.” Among those facing Hiebert at the polls is well-known senior athlete and community volunteer Aart Looye. Looye underlines that, while he’s listed on the ballot as an Independent, he considers himself an independent conservative – and notes, with a laugh, the number of other candidates who can be described as conservative in stripe. “Why are these people running against him? Why is there this anger against Mr. Hiebert?” he said. For Looye, the top issues for the people of the constituency are “integrity and proper representation.” “The current MP, by his spending patterns and his political lifestyle, does not exhibit the kind of integrity you’d want from a Conservative MP,” Looye said. “Mr. Hiebert is not a Conservative – he’s actually a fraud. He doesn’t represent conservative values – it all seems to be about what kind of entitlement he expects, and he takes everything he can.” Looye said proper representation for the people of South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale should not be “a barking seal” that repeats a party line or the views of the party leader, but someone who is willing to intercede for and put forward the views of all constituents, “whether they’re NDP or Green, or whatever. “Even with the party system, there has to be room for some freedom of thought,” he said. Also fiercely critical of Hiebert is former White Rock mayor Hardy Staub, a former Progressive Conservative Party member whose decision to run as a Liberal in the current election followed pre-election criticisms of the MP’s performance and the policies of the current Conservative electoral district association board, which he noted will not permit other nominations for the Conservative candidacy.

Colero also said voters should be concerned about the “apparent threat to democracy” posed by the Harper government being found in contempt of Parliament for refusing to release information on costs of crime legislation and the purchase of stealth fighter aircraft.

NDP surge into second, poll shows Layton approval climbs after TV debates; Liberals face deep losses by Jeff Nagel A SURGE IN NDP sup-
port may make leader Jack Layton the new head of the Official Opposition in Parliament or even the next prime minister in a Liberal-backed coalition, a new opinion poll released Monday suggests. The EKOS Research poll gives the NDP 28 per cent support nationally, second spot behind the Conservatives at 34 per cent and ahead of the Liberals at 24 per cent. The pollsters project the NDP are poised to win 53 seats in Quebec and 100 across the country – a huge breakthrough that would reshape Canada’s political landscape – compared to 131 seats for the Conservatives and 62 for the Liberals. The Bloc Quebecois would be hammered down to
13 seats in Quebec. “The NDP and the Liberals combined would have a majority and 31 seats more than the Conservatives,” the polling firm said. “It is hard to imagine
Jack Layton how these totals would not produce the once unimaginable outcome of a Jack Layton-led coalition government deposing Stephen Harper’s Conservative government.” Green party support
ranges from four to seven per cent in recent polls. The EKOS poll suggests seats in B.C. will continue to be split up, with 15 going Conservative, eight going Liberal and the NDP taking 13. The results are considered accurate to plus or minus 1.8 per cent 19 times out of 20. Three other polling firms have found the NDP at least tied with the Liberals over the past week or so. A previous Angus Reid poll cited NDP leader Jack Layton’s debate performance for lifting his party into a tie for second place nationally with the federal Liberals at 25 per cent of voter support. Angus Reid vice-president Jaideep Mukerji also pointed to Layton’s television performance for giving him a 50 per cent approval rating, the

highest of any Canadian federal politician the polling firm has measured in three years. Conservative leader
Stephen Harper’s approval rating is 33 per cent, while Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff and Green leader Elizabeth
May both have 24 per cent. Almost as many of those polled picked Layton as their prefer-
red prime minister (27 per cent) as Harper (28 per cent), while Ignatieff was a distant third at 13 per cent.

Chiefs season under way BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER
Fraser Valley Chiefs’ infielder Dale Mar tags out White Rock Triton Tanner Sandstrom during a B.C. Premier Baseball League game at Whalley Stadium on Sunday. The Chiefs split a double header.
Fraser Valley wins four of six games to start Premier League season by Rick Kupchuk THEY WERE the last team in the B.C. Premier Baseball League to begin regular season play. But four wins in six starts last week has the Fraser Valley Chiefs sitting in a tie for fourth place in the 13-team under-18 elite league, exactly where first-year head coach Ernie Hawkins hope they will be at the end of the 48-game season. Having had all games in the first two weeks of league play postponed by rain, the Chiefs won three straight over the Vancouver Cannons, dropped one to the North Delta Blue Jays, and on Sunday split a double header with the White Rock Tritons at Whalley Stadium. “It was a tough slog, but the guys came through,” said Hawkins. “Particularly our pitching, it’s been our strong point. The starters for the most part went the distance, and if I can get five or six innings from a starter, I’ll be happy.” Dylan Rehmke went the full six

De la Feraude struck out four batters while allowing just five hits and a pair of walks. Jordan McComb led the offence with a pair of RBIs. In game two, the Tritons scored early and often, taking a 5-0 lead after batting in the top of the fourth inning on their way to an 8-3 victory. The Chiefs managed just six hits, three of which came from Brody Hawkins, with Declan Murphy collecting a pair. The Chiefs will be idle from league play next weekend, but will be very busy at the 10-team Abbotsford Invitational Tournament at Delair Field. Fraser Valley will play once tomorrow (Thursday), twice Friday and one more Saturday, hoping to advance to the four-team playoff Sunday. “Last weekend helped set us up for Abbotsford, particularly in our pitching,” said Hawkins. “If we throw balls and strikes, we’ll be fine.”

Two members of the Port Kells Boxing Club earned victories in the Novice division at the B.C. Golden Gloves April 16-17 in Richmond. Julian Kim, in the 178pound weight class, defeated Lee Milliken of Victoria. Kim, in his first bout, “showed great promise for the future in coming away with the decision against a very tough opponent in Milliken,” said Port Kells spokesperson Al Harper. “It was a punch for punch affair, with Kim landing the cleaner shots and deserving the win.” In the 152-pound category, Jatinder Dhaliwal earned win over Garnet Samuel of Vancouver. Dhaliwal was ahead 12-4 on the scorecard. Narinder Akali of Port Kells

Walk of a lifetime Cloverdale woman living with multiple sclerosis for 50 years gears up for annual fundraiser by Boaz Joseph
B
arbara Atchison considers herself lucky. At 81, she lives independently and remains active, despite living with multiple sclerosis (MS) for 50 years. Even after being diagnosed, she and her husband ran a sporting good store, A and G in Cloverdale, for 25 years. These days, sometimes a former customer – perhaps a man who might have purchased a baseball glove or hockey skates as a child so many decades ago – recognizes her from the store and says hello. Nowadays, although Atchison must get around with a walker, she is still grateful for the ability to exercise at least an hour a day. “(MS) hits every person differently,” she says. “I’m one of the few people (with MS) who doesn’t have pain.” Her workouts combine tai chi exercises and the physiotherapy techniques she learned over the years through the Multiple Sclerosis Society. “If I wasn’t doing regular exercise, I wouldn’t be walking,” she says, adding that she knows two people who were diagnosed about the same time she was who didn’t exercise in later years and are now in extended care facilities. Atchison was diagnosed at a time when may doctors didn’t know what to make of MS symptoms – loss of balance, impaired speech, extreme fatigue, double vision and paralysis, some of which come and go without warning. In Atchison’s case, it was a left leg and right hand that stopped functioning. She recalls that the leg problem forced her to stop going along on her husband’s hunting walks. One piece of advice her doctor gave her in the early 1960s: She should not carry her two adopted children. She worked hard at the family’s expanding store from 1970-1995, when she and her husband retired. Afterwards, they remained active together, going camping, taking a cruise though the Panama Canal, and going on several bus trips throughout Western Canada and down to Arizona. In more recent years, and since her husband’s passing five years ago, Atchison has continued to be involved with her church, and has, until

Cloverdale’s Barbara Atchison, who has had multiple sclerosis for 50 years, will participate in the MS Walk on May 1 at Fleetwood Park. recently, “led” a local walking group. “They quit when I quit going,” she says with a wink. She stopped driving just before the age of 80 when her right hand wasn’t strong enough to work the ignition switch. Atchison has been a committee member for a local MS support group for 12 years. (Atchison’s MS Self-Help Group meets the third Wednesday of each month from 12:30-2:30 p.m. at Fleetwood Christian Reformed Church, 9165 160 St. Atchison can be reached at 778-373-0284). Atchison has been involved with the MS Society since the early 1980s, when she got help with physiotherapy at the GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver. She’s been involved with the annual MS Walk in Surrey for years, helping to support a fundraising event for an organization which has helped in her struggles with MS.
MS patients are helped to deal with a range of symptoms, physiotherapy and legal support. “MS is still a mysterious disease,” says Suzanne Jay, director of communications of the BC and Yukon division of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada, which is organizing walks in 26 communities in B.C. on May 1. Money raised will help finance the free support services for MS patients, as well as MS research. There are currently anywhere between 55,000 and 75,000 people with MS in Canada. Between 7,300 and 10,000 of them are in B.C. About $1.6 million was raised in B.C. from last year’s MS Walks. But Jay says that figure is deceptive. With the variety of support services and research priorities for the MS Society, “that number is not always enough.”

• MS is unpredictable, affecting vision, speech, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Symptoms include extreme fatigue, double vision and paralysis. • Its effects are physical, emotional and financial, and last a lifetime. There is no cure. • While it is most often diagnosed in young adults, aged 15 to 40, it also affects children, some as young as two years old. • MS Society of Canada volunteers and staff provide information, support, educational events and other resources for people with MS and their families. • Researchers funded by the MS Society are working to develop new and better treatments. Their ultimate goal is the cure for MS. • Canadians have one of the highest rates of multiple sclerosis in the world. • MS is the most common neurological disease affecting young adults in Canada. • Women are more than three times as likely to develop MS as men. — Source: MS Society of Canada

In Scotland, Scotla peas were never sown until the first swallow swallo appeared, while in Eng England, an old ditty advises advise to “Sow beans and p peas on David and Chad (March 1st and 2nd), be the weather good or bad”. bad Although many good gardeners plant peas early, you can space the plantings out to enjoy peas planti right through the summer. Peas Pe prefer a well drained, shallow, sandy soil that both shal dries dri out and warms up quickly. They also like a qui new location in the garden each year, if possible. Peas do not thrive in acid soil, and an application of Dolomite lime is essential for both peas and beans. Also, avoid using compost. Many seed companies are promoting the use of nitrogen inoculants with pea crops. These are simply granules of live nitrogenfixing bacteria. In general, they improve the growth of peas and are supposed to increase crop yields. Peas should be planted about

WE TAKE MANY things for granted today, often not fully appreciating the amount of research, hard work or even the fascinating history behind some of our edible plants. Take the garden pea for example. Our parents and grandparents planted them, but their history dates back a bit farther – pea seeds were found in an Egyptian tomb att Thebes! Garden peas, or Pisum sativum, are thought to have originated in the area around Pisa, Italy where they grew wild. The Greeks and Romans served boiled peas as a light refreshment during intermissions at their theatre presentations. It was a favourite early vegetable among Europeans, and various us cultures adapted legends ds about peas. In Britain, a pod containing nine peas eas was considered lucky. Peas were also used as one of the many cures for warts. Each wart was supposed to be touched with a pea, that was then wrapped in paper and buried. As the pea decayed in the ground, the wart was supposed to disappear. In the language of flowers, the pea is a symbol of respect, and it’s the birthday flower of February 17th. The garden pea we all know and enjoy today, was developed in England and was one of the first crops planted in the New World.
2 inches deep and about 2 inches apart. For maximum space usage, plant in wide 3 foot rows, keeping each row about 18 inches apart. Raised beds are beneficial to many garden vegetables, and peas are no exception. Soil levels, raised 6 to 8 inches above ground level, will raise the temperature of the soil from 8 to 13 degrees Fahrenheit. There are a number of good pea varieties, and it can take you several years to try them all! I’ve seen many old-timers grow beautiful crops of Telephone Peas on poles, which makes a fine garden feature, but most of us simply don’t Brian Minter have enough room in a small garden. Little Marvel is an old dwarf pea that requires very little staking. I think, however, that the best dwarf peas are the Sugar Snap varieties. Sugar Ann, Paladio and Sugar Daddy are three award-winning varieties, and their flavour is superb. Although peas are an early cool crop, the ongoing cold weather has certainly delayed their start in many gardens. The good news is they can be planted now and with a bit of better weather they will grow quickly to provide you with their uniquely delicious flavour. Brian Minter is a master gardener who operates Minter Gardens in Chilliwack.
