East Clayton Elementary will be used as annex to Hazelgrove
Ruff ride
School reopened to ease crowding
A curious dog watches from his car while emergency personnel attend to a young man hit by the vehicle in the Surrey City Hall parking lot on Friday. The pooch apparently bumped the gear shift of the car, sending it across the lot. The injured man had tried to hold the rolling car back, but was pinned between it and another vehicle. His injuries did not appear to be serious.

25,000, whereas projections from 2004 called for between 30,000 and 40,000 crossings every day. TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said the effects of the 2008 recession, which reduced commercial hauling across the bridge, and lower-than-expected new development on the north side of the Fraser River, also cut into bridge numbers. Tough economic times also affects the number of people who jump into their cars and go shopping or out for entertainment. “People just don’t travel as much when times are tough.” The public-private-partnership model under which the bridge was built calls for TransLink to make yearly payments to the Golden Crossing General Partnership for its construction and operation.

The former East Clayton Elementary, which used to house just kindergarten to Grade 3 students, was closed in 2009 and students relocated to Clayton Elementary, which had Grades 4 to 7.

With continued population growth, the school is expected to have 18 portables by 2012. “The Surrey School District has not received any funding for new schools since 2005, despite our rapidly growing population,” said Mayor Dianne Watts. “We need new schools to be built. We need to get our children out of portables.” East Clayton is located on vacant city property near 186 Street and 72 Avenue. The city will lease the

Toll discounts tested
TransLink studies whether cheaper rates steer drivers to Golden Ears Bridge by Phil Melnychuk EVENING AND WEEKEND crossings of the Golden Ears Bridge will be a bargain for six weeks as TransLink tweaks its toll structure. Instead of paying $2.80 per crossing, motorists with transponders only will pay $1.95 if they make the crossing after 7 p.m. Friday, as well as Saturdays and Sundays. The discount rate also applies weeknights from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. The goal is to see if lower rates can persuade motorists to rejig their schedules, something that could be useful in future tolling projects and to see if it can attract people who would normally use the Port Mann Bridge. TransLink also is trying to boost use of the bridge as the number of crossings falls below expectations. Average daily use is about

Cadman Musician beaten by teens at bus stop aide calls Michael Taylor kicked and punched unconscious Tory strategy ‘stupid’ by Kevin Diakiw
Facebook used to decry 5-question limit for PM
FIVE TEENAGERS are facing charges of aggravated assault after a local musician was beaten unconscious on the weekend. Michael Taylor was busing home from the Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Vancouver Friday night, when police believe he got into a verbal exchange with the teens. Several racial epithets were used by the youth toward Taylor, who is black. Taylor got off the bus at 74 Avenue and Scott Road, where he was punched and kicked unconscious. “The victim was basically jumped from behind and sustained several punches and kicks to the head,” said RCMP Cpl. Drew
Grainger. Investigators can’t say for sure that it was motivated by race, “but the N-word was exchanged on the bus,” Grainger said. Taylor was treated for injuries and has been released from hospital. Surrey RCMP said it’s unlikely that hate crime charges would be pursued. “On the surface it doesn’t look like a hate crime,” Grainger said. “And the victim himself, I understand, is coming forth saying he doesn’t believe this Michael Taylor
was motivated by race.” For hate crime to be considered, race would have had to be considered a primary motive in the attack. Police are likely going to recommend charges of aggravated assault, however, as of Monday, the recommendations hadn’t been forwarded to Crown. The three males and two females, all between 14 and 18 years old, are from Surrey. Three of them are believed to be from the same family. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com
by Kevin Diakiw AN ASSISTANT to Surrey-North MP Dona Cadman is embroiled in controversy after criticizing the Conservatives for limiting the number of media questions the prime minister answers on the campaign trail. “Can someone in the war room please save the PM’s image by allowing him to answer more than five questions a day?!?” Tony Phillips, legislative assistant to Cadman, wrote on his Facebook site last week. Phillips is also listed as Cadman’s communications director on her re-election website. “When Sun Media starts to attack our AMAZING government, you know stupidity has prevailed amongst communications people,” Phillips wrote on his Facebook page. Chris Thomas, with Cadman’s campaign, said reports that Phillips is working on the campaign are false. “He hasn’t left Ottawa,” Tony Phillips Thomas said. However, he is listed under the “Team” tab on her re-election website, given the title of communications director. Phillips declined Leader requests for comment this week. However, he told Canadian Press his comments were to his friends only. “I can’t comment on that because that’s a personal Facebook page and being in the political position I’m in, that would not be the best career move for me,” he said in a very brief telephone interview. “I did (share my opinion) with my 800 (Facebook) friends, of which you are not one of them, so ... I think I have to tighten my security settings again.” The Tories have received criticism for limiting the number of questions allowed at Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s daily press conferences. National reporters are allowed four questions, while one is reserved for a local reporter. It was unclear as of press time whether Phillips would be disciplined for his Facebook post. Conservative spokesman Ryan Sparrow is reported to have said the party is focused on issues that matter to Canadians, not political strategy. - with files from CTV News

was told not to fill in a ditch, the city says. Nonetheless, Amrik Sangha dumped about 500 truck loads of dirt into a critical drainage ditch in Bridgeview. Sangha appeared before city council Monday accompanied by an engineer and a lawyer in a rare quasi-judicial meeting of council where legal matters are hashed out. Sangha, owner of Gurcharan Enterprises Ltd., at 11678 130 St. in Bridgeview unlawfully filled a critical drainage ditch in the wetland area. “The owner had made requests to city staff in the past, most recently in 2009, to be allowed to fill the canal and had been denied,” a staff report to council states. However, Sangha contends the city knew well of the fill, even saying he was doing a good job. Mayor Dianne Watts asked Sangha if he had emails or correspondence to support that claim. He said he does and is prepared to produce them. Sangha said he was compelled to do something about the ditch because of a rat problem. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, he said, applauded
his effort. Arguments through the afternoon Monday included claims by Sangha’s engineer that the filled ditch, which now includes a pipe to allow for water flow, is more than adequate for drainage in the area. His lawyer told council the city is in default of its responsibility to Sangha to ensure the ditch was in good repair. He also pointed to the 1923 agreement for the statutory right of way, which allows for covering for the purposes of train tracks if necessary. The city’s lawyer countered that the issue has less to do with the right of way than council’s authority under the Community Charter to insist remedial measures if someone damages a ditch. Surrey’s engineers said the compromised ditch could fail if it was hit with a heavy rainfall. Given only an hour, council was unable to complete discussions on the issue, and deferred it until April 18. Watts told Sangha to bring with him any correspondence that proves his claim that he had approval from city staff. Sangha said after the meeting it cost him $1 million to fill the ditch, and expects it to cost another $500,000 to fix it the way the city wants.
District: ‘Managing district’s growth’ From page 1 five-classroom East Clayton building and the surrounding land to the school district from now until June 2013, using it as an annex to Hazelgrove. “Our board has recognized the need for a new elementary school in the East Clayton area of Clover-
dale for some time and it continues to be at the top of our board’s five-year capital plan submission to the Ministry of Education,” said Surrey Board of Education chair Laurae McNally. “Reusing the former East Clayton school space with the assistance of the City of Surrey is another example of how our board is doing its best to
manage our district’s growth while faced with a lack of new school funding.” A decision will be made within the next few weeks regarding the classes that will be located at East Clayton Elementary, which will be known as Hazelgrove Annex for the duration of its use. newsroom@surreyleader.com

GEB: Lower fares begin April 15 From page 1 TransLink’s budget calls for toll revenue to climb to $37.8 million from $30 million in 2010, the bridge’s first full year of operations. But it will have to pay $71 million this year for debt servicing and contractor payments. Hardie said previously that TransLink can absorb the $30-million-plus shortfall and said the variable tolling is one of the strategies expected to increase use and prevent having to cut other programs to make the bridge payments. Rising gasoline prices and the opening of the new Port Mann Bridge in 2012, which also will have tolls, are also expected to increase use. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin admits, “I thought it (the bridge) would have had a more immediate impact.� Some people are still using the
Port Mann to get to Surrey and are driving 40 to 50 minutes to do that, he added. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson has her concerns. “I question the numbers and the amount of expenditures that they made and the number of people using it. I think we do have to look at the numbers now that it’s completed. “It is troubling that people weren’t using it at a very high rate over this period of time.� She said she still supports in principle transportation projects, such as the Evergreen SkyTrain line in the northeast sector, (Maple Ridge to Port Moody) but said the growth is on the south side of the Fraser River. She wants Lower Mainland mayors to consider light rail on lines already existing in the Fraser Valley that could connect Chilliwack to Surrey, but said nobody seems to want to talk about it. Road networks are already
in place for such a system, she pointed out. “I think it really does bear much more analysis by the mayors because we’re the ones carrying the can as far as property tax is concerned. I don’t feel good for the future of the local taxpayer.â€? The trial period of 30-per-cent discounted fares starts April 15 and includes both Easter and May long weekends. A motorist without a transponder will pay only $2.75 during the off-peak hours, compared to $3.95 during regular hours. Daykin said he continues to lobby TransLink to fund a study on expanding the West Coast Express service to and from Vancouver beyond its five rush-hour trips each weekday morning and evening. Local mayors asked for that last year, after the Winter Olympics but were rejected by TransLink. – with ďŹ les from Jeff Nagel

Region: ‘Not pitting Vancouver against South of the Fraser’ From page 3 Metro Vancouver has made the Surrey expansion a higher priority than the Broadway line, because of its potential to beneficially shape land use as the population grows rapidly South of the Fraser. TransLink hasn’t determined when or in which order the two projects should proceed. Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender said he’s not concerned TransLink’s review of the UBC line is at a more advanced stage than the Surrey-area expansion study, which got underway first. He said regional leaders have agreed the Evergreen Line comes first, followed by South of the Fraser and then UBC. “We’re not pitting Vancouver against South of the Fraser,� Fassbender said.

“You can make an argument of which one should come first, but you have to have the business case for all of them and then make a decision based on that on where the funding is going to come from.� The region needs to be ready to proceed with both projects because gas prices will likely rise in future years, driving up demand for transit, said North Vancouver District Mayor Richard Walton, who chairs the mayors’ council that controls TransLink funding. “Ultimately, there’s going to be more people wanting to use the system,� he said. Mayors hope to get a better idea of the province’s stance on financing when they meet behind closed doors Thursday with new transportation minister Blair Lekstrom.

Pushed to polls
W
hile 2011 is shaping up as the year of marathon voting for B.C. residents, few wanted to elect a new federal Parliament this year. However, the continual conflicts and tensions caused by seven years of minority governments in Ottawa mean that an election is always a possibility. This latest one was precipitated by what appears to most nonpoliticians to be relatively minor policy differences. Despite the Liberal and NDP campaign bluster, Canada’s government was functioning in stable fashion, and for the great majority of citizens, the so-called transgressions of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservatives hardly been registering on the radar, if at all. Why the Liberals see this as a good opportunity to try to seize power now is somewhat unclear, yet that is why the country is headed for another unwanted federal election – at a cost of $300 million plus. Perhaps those facts will push voters to the polls. In the 2009 provincial campaign, just over 50 per cent voted. Provincial and federal elections are going the way of municipal elections, where few participate and most simply ignore them altogether. From now until May 2, it will be up to the political parties and local candidates to try and stimulate enough interest so that people show up at the polling booths. Whether they approve of an election or not, those who are eligible should take the time to vote. Voting may seem dull, but democracy is a precious thing. Voting in a free and fair election is something that people in many parts of the world would love to have a chance to do. – Black Press

t’s the most shopworn cliché of the B.C. Liberal government, one that for years has induced eye-rolling in the legislature press gallery. The dark decade, the dismal decade, the decade of destruction, cabinet ministers have chanted since 2001. The 1990s, when investment, jobs and people packed up and headed for the B.C. border in response to the NDP governments of Mike Harcourt and Glen Clark. As the NDP leadership candidates near the end of their marathon run of debates around the province, the front-runners are fighting hard to turn that conventional wisdom around. Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix makes a statistical case with his usual intensity: B.C.’s economic growth averaged around three per cent per year during the 1990s, and only two per cent during the supposedly prosperous decade of Gordon Campbell. This mainly demonstrates what former premier Bill Bennett observed: B.C. is a small resource economy whose prosperity is largely at the mercy of world markets.

reconstructing the small portion of the unionized health monopoly broken up by the Campbell government. NDP front-runner Mike Farnworth also scorned the “rethermed” hospital food that is part of the desperate effort to rein in health care costs. Candidates mused about bringing in fresh local food for hospital patients, which sounds nice but can only add costs. The health care crisis is bad and getting worse. If all the NDP can do is whine about “Tim Hortons medicine” and wave an organic carrot, I suspect Tommy Douglas wouldn’t be impressed. As this column noted in January, the B.C. NDP constitution remains explicitly opposed to profit and explicitly in favour of a state-controlled command economy. Harcourt and Carole James both tried to ease the party out of that rut, as Tony Blair did with the UK Labour Party. Both were dumped. Now the NDP strains to look ahead, but sees only the past.

Government debt threatens qualify of life Motorists THE QUALITY of life the citizens of Canada have enjoyed in the past is most likely going to decline. We are living beyond our means and on borrowed money. The Canadian government is billions of dollars in debt and is carrying a de¿cit. The interest payments alone reduce the ¿nancial freedom Ottawa has to support and sustain essential programs and services. The Canadian government needs to get its ¿scal house in order. Social programs and social
infrastructure are the glue that keep this country together. Canada is the envy of the world because it takes care of its citizens. National programs such as the Canada Pension Plan, Old Age Security and Employment Insurance inject millions into the economy and provide for Canadians when they are in need. Universal health care and transfer payments provide Canadians with a competitive advantage over the Americans which have much more serious and endemic prob-
lems of poverty, poor health care, and racial divisions. The Canadian government needs to wipe out the debt and de¿cit to secure our quality of life. The poor do not have the money to pay suf¿cient taxes. The working class is already overburdened and overtaxed. So who’s left? The people who need to voluntarily launch a campaign to rescue Canada’s ¿nances are the banks, billionaires, corporate interests and the rich. The Canadian government
can facilitate this rescue package by giving generous tax deductions to anyone who directly donates to wipe out the national debt. Time to get serious about national money matters. If the rich are making money from doing business in Canada, I am sure they would want to see their investment in good hands with a stable ¿nancially secure and debt-free federal government at the helm.

Too many cats, too few homes I’M SURE MOST people feel like me – elated that spring has finally arrived. However, I’m also dreading the yearly influx of unspayed or unneutered cats with no identification into my yard. I’ve already seen at least three. This is a plea to everyone who either owns a cat or finds an uninvited feline in their backyard. Spaying and neutering is a must, and not just because cats are much more likely to stay close to home if they’re not motivated to wander by their hormones. There is still a serious cat overpopulation problem in B.C. – too many cats, too few homes. In many cities and municipalities it’s the law that any cat over the age of six months be spayed or neutered, and identified with a collar and tag, tattoo and microchip, including Delta, Coquitlam, City of North Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey and Port Moody. It’s a sad fact that only around seven per cent of lost cats are returned to their homes. The tag should have your phone number and address, for a quick and safe return of your pet (the fastest and most stress-free way to get your cat back home). A tattoo number in the ear will trace your cat to the vet clinic where the tattoo was done, and the clinic will have your contact information, as long as you’ve kept it up to date. A microchip can be scanned by a vet or animal shelter to a database which will contain your contact information. It’s important to treat your cat just like a dog – you wouldn’t let your dog wander outside unsupervised, would you? Your cat should only be permitted out when supervised and definitely not let out at all after dark. B.C. is home to many hazards, including coyotes, who tend to hunt between dusk and dawn. You can hardly blame them for taking advantage of a quick and tasty meal if you put it out right under their noses. And lastly, if you find a cat in your yard, please take responsibility for finding his/her home. It’s a

This year ICBC warns of signi¿cant increases in premiums due to the number of large injury payouts last year. ICBC should have known these payouts were coming. Anyone who has had major injury claims with ICBC knows they are not quick to settle and I would venture to say most of those claims were from years gone by and not necessarily last year’s. I am so tired of the Liberal government Àeecing the motoring public with carbon taxes, tolls and proposed tolls and the removal of $700 million of the motoring public’s assets from their premiums in ICBC that they should have on access to.

fallacy that cats can survive outside – they can’t, and they’ll soon succumb to starvation, disease or accident. If you’ve lost or found a cat, the Vancouver Humane Society’s Catfind line can offer useful advice: 604-266-1012. Or check the website at www.vancouverhumanesociety.bc.ca/resources/ catfind/ If you want to do more, a donation to our spay/ neuter fund (the McVitie Fund) would be much
appreciated. The Vancouver Humane Society spays and neuters hundreds of cats every year, helping people who are on income assistance for whatever reason. We have a number of kind veterinarians who provide extremely low-cost spay/ neuter, tattoo and vaccinations to the animals we help. Debra Probert Executive Director Vancouver Humane Society
Helping all life should be commended IN RESPONSE to the letter written by Brenda Rapp (“Misplaced priorities,” The Leader, March 30), I would like to state that the work being done by Ashley Fruno is to be commended. Not many people would show the bravery and courage that she has in going to a country where there is great danger. Helping any form of life should not be scorned. Anyone of us that has ever loved a pet knows that they become a family member. Any form of suffering, whether human or animal needs to be addressed.
‘fleeced’ by Liberals
It may seen trivial to Brenda, but perhaps those animals can be re-united with their human guardians, thus helping to ease their suffering. Her work there, and all over Asia, should be an inspiration to all of us to help however and where ever we can. Karin Fruno
Animals just as important as people IT IS very sad that many people in Japan have lost their lives,
loved ones and are without clean water, homes and food. However, I believe that animals are just as important. What makes them less important then humans? Do they not have feelings? Japan needs a lot of help right now and it is nice to see that many organizations such as Red Cross are helping out and donations from thousands of generous people are pouring in. But do you think any of this is going to injured or homeless animals? I am thankful that there is somebody such as Ashley Fruno
who is going to help those who cannot help themselves. Monisha Jassi, Surrey
Ancient wisdom IN READING Ms. Brenda Raap’s letter
to the editor, the following quotation from Mahatma Gandhi comes to mind: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” I think that says it all. Liz King, Surrey
looking forward to with the new secondary suite bylaw was the fact that each suite would need to provide one off-street parking spot. I thought that would help to ease some of the parking congestion that I see while driving around my neighbourhood. That is until I realized that it wasn’t so much the renters that were causing the problems, but the actual owners. So many garages are so crammed full of “stuff” that owners are unable to park in their garages and instead park on the street. None of that is going to change as a result of the new bylaw, in fact, owners will probably give renters their one extra spot and instead park in the street. Until something can be done to address the issue of owners parking in the street instead of their garages, we’ll continue to have impossible parking congestion in our streets. Mike Wellar

Bait trailers new tactic to bust thieves Hidden GPS units aim to combat theft of 500 trailers per year by Jeff Nagel POLICE ARE rolling out new bait trailers equipped with hidden GPS beacons so officers can track and bust thieves who steal them. The new tactic aims to cut down the theft of more than 500 trailers stolen in B.C. each year. That theft rate has held steady, while the successful bait car program is credited with helping dramatically chop auto theft rates by 65 per cent since 2003. The number of vehicles stolen last year fell 22 per cent from 2009. Thefts from within vehicles dropped 15 per cent. “A host of different types of trailers are now armed with hidden GPS technology and will be planted throughout British Columbia just waiting to be stolen,” said Sgt. Gord Elias of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT). “They will look just like any other trailer and will come in many makes, models, sizes and colours,” he said. “We’re going to move them around and change them up wherever they’re needed.” Elias said stolen trailers, which can range from cargo or utility trailers to recreational ones, are often sold privately through ads and via websites. Manufactured trailers must have a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Elias said, and any buyer who encounters a trailer without one and suspects it’s stolen should contact police. IMPACT also released a video showing the arrest last summer of thieves who stole a bait trailer and truck and were tracked by police helicopter through Langley and Surrey, until they were captured in Cloverdale. Since the bait car program was launched in 2002, it has expanded to include motorcycles, ATVs, boats and snowmobiles as well. IMPACT also issued its annual top 10 wanted list of suspected car thieves. Topping the list is
Xiao Sean Zhang, 25, wanted by Vancouver police on multiple theft and other warrants. Zhang is accused of finding cars for sale on craigslist and then stealing them during test drives. He was the driver in a 2006 hit-and-run

Compass the name of transit smart card New payment system, turnstiles coming in 2013 by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK HOPES
FILE PHOTO / THE LEADER
Transit users in Metro Vancouver will begin using a Compass smart card in 2013.
you’ll use your Compass to get around Metro Vancouver in the future. That’s the name of its planned smart card that will replace all existing passes, tickets and eventually cash for fare payment. Compass beat out Starfish and TPass – other names that had been shortlisted from more than 56,000 suggestions.
The winner of the naming contest – Burnaby’s Oleksiy Gayda was drawn at random from among dozens who suggested Compass – receives an iPad and one year of free transit once the new smart card debuts in 2013. TransLink put the three final names to an online vote in January, with Compass getting more than 40 per cent support. Names like Umbrella, Otter and
George (after Captain George Vancouver) had been previously considered but rejected. The winning name is a departure from the use of sea critter monikers at other major transit systems – such as London’s Oyster card, Hong Kong’s Octopus card and Seattle’s Orca card. The payment system is to be in operation by 2013, along with turnstiles at SkyTrain and SeaBus stations, at an estimated total cost of $171 million. Federal and provincial contributions cover $70 million. Passengers will tag on and tag off the system as they board by bringing their cards close to proximity readers.
They’ll prepay by loading money on their card, which can then act like a day pass, weekly pass or a variety of other fare options. It’s expected the system will eventually eliminate the current three-zone fare structure, allowing for more accurate distancebased fares. Cubic Transportation Systems and IBM Canada won the contract to build and run the system. Reaction on social networks was mostly positive. Daniel Chow called Compass a “nice choice” on Twitter but Byron Fok said he found it a bit plain. “I think they went with the safest name and logo they could find,” tweeted graphic designer Nick Routley. “Honestly, I’d do the same if I were TransLink.” SFU marketing professor Lindsay Meredith disagreed, predicting Starfish would have resonated better with younger transit users. “Starfish is a name that would travel well on networks, on social media,” Meredith said in an interview. “Compass? I’ve got my doubts.”
Value seen in stopping fare cheats, tweaking bus service Critics of the new smart card and turnstiles system have argued it’s too expensive and that ending open access to SkyTrain stations won’t eliminate fare evasion. But TransLink has released a summary of its business case for the new system, showing it will more than pay for itself over 15 years. The report projects TransLink will gain $89 million over that period in reduced fare evasion. The smart card is also expected to produce a bounty of accurate data on how passengers actually use transit in the region. That improved information will help TransLink run the bus system more efficiently – worth an estimated $77 million over 15 years. New ridership is expected to bring in an extra $35 million in revenue, in part because sizable numbers of people now refuse to use SkyTrain because they worry about crime and their security on the ungated system. Another $26 million is attributed to “improved resource utilization.” It adds up to projected benefits of $227 million over a decade and a half – somewhat more than the anticipated $205 million in combined capital and operating costs. Bus service efficiencies were conservatively estimated, the report says, noting those gains could be more than twice as high. The value of reduced fare evasion is estimated at $7.1 million per year (in 2011 dollars). That’s more than the $6 million a year that TransLink in the past has estimated it has lost to SkyTrain fare cheats. About 5.6 per cent of riders don’t pay, according to audits.

Tom Glenn, Kerry Telford and six others were killed when their floatplane crashed in 2009. to react and recover from an “aerodynamic stall” of the wing (in which the left wing suddenly lost its tilt and dropped); two or four of the aircraft’s doors were jammed shut; the doors and windows could not be quickly removed; and, none of those onboard were wearing life-jackets. “Everyone survived the impact, but six of the eight onboard drowned. They never got out of the aircraft,” Yearwood stated in his presentation. “We’ve seen this before and that is why we focused our investigation on the risk of drowning in floatplane accidents.

by Tracy Holmes deserve to have the best chance of surviving a crash. That is the gist of recommendations announced last month by the Transportation Safety Board, which suggests that passengers should be made to wear life-jackets and that all new and existing float planes be fitted with quick-escape exits in the event of a crash. The recommendations were announced March 17 – nearly 16 months after the crash that killed White Rock’s Tom Glenn, former resident Dr. Kerry Telford and six others. Glenn and Telford – and Telford’s infant daughter – were among eight people onboard a de Havilland Beaver floatplane Nov. 29, 2009 when it crashed off Saturna Island shortly after takeoff from Lyall Harbour. The pilot and Glenn’s wife, Barb, were the only survivors. According to findings presented by TSB investigator Bill Yearwood, a number of factors contributed to the crash and the six deaths. Those included that a light, which typically warns of an impending stall, was not working the day of the crash, giving the pilot little time

high and we know it is twofold.” Safety board chair Wendy Tadros said too often, passengers survive the impact of such crashes only to drown because they either can’t get out or have no means of staying afloat until help arrives. “This is not acceptable,” Tadros said. “More can and must be done to increase the chances of surviving a crash on water. That is the thrust of our recommendations.” According to the report, 76 people – including the six killed in the Lyall Harbour crash – died in 109 commercial float plane crashes in Canada
between 1989 and 2010. Since the Lyall Harbour crash, Transport Canada has upgraded its education materials. Tadros described steps taken within the floatplane industry were “even more encouraging.” Those include the formation of an association aimed at improving safety on the west coast; the installation by some operators of improved door handles and popout windows; and the move by some operators to provide passengers with, and require them to wear, personal flotation devices. Transport Canada is expected to respond to the recommendations within 90 days.

reported in an entire month. Ninety-five per cent of those thefts were from unlocked cars. Const. Shane Parker said most of the thefts have occurred between 1 and 6 a.m. in the English Bluff and Stahaken areas. “These are all crimes of opportunity. They’re simply walking by, trying the door handles and then when they get inside they’re looking through and finding stuff,” he said. The most commonly stolen items are wallets,
purses, GPS devices, “things that are quickly pawned for cash.” Police have arrested one young offender who will be charged, Parker said.

‘NDP Idol’ contest aims for youth vote Provincial party stages series of debates in leadership campaign by Tom Fletcher ABOUT 400 NDP sup-
porters packed a Victoria high school gym
Thursday night to hear pitches from the five candidates for the party leadership. There were few
major policy differences in the latest of a series of debates that Powell River-Sunshine Coast MLA Nicholas
Simons referred to as “NDP Idol.” The theme of the Victoria stop was youth, and most contenders offered help
for post-secondary students with grants and low-interest or interest-free loans. Port Coquitlam
MLA Mike Farnworth said the government can create job opportunities for young people by emphasizing
apprenticeships for government construction contracts, instead of going to low bidders who may be from outside B.C. Young people can be hired to plant trees, restore stream habitat and clear brush that is a fire hazard around many B.C. communities, he said.

Adrian Dix Vancouver-Kingsway MLA Adrian Dix advocated “environmental youth teams” to do similar work. Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan cited a T’Sou-ke Nation employment program where young people learned new skills by installing solar panels on the Vancouver Island band’s buildings as well as upgrading park trails and planting trees. Dix also advocated union membership for part-time workers so they have a way to enforce labour code regulations such as two-hour call-out pay for work on short notice. The B.C. government has only one employment standards officer east of Kelowna, based in Nelson, and enforcement is inadequate, he said. Simons referred to his experience as a child protection social worker, and stressed the need for places for young people to go if they can’t stay at home. Youth need options to work out conflicts that don’t trigger a full investigation of their families, he said. Marijuana activist Dana Larsen, the only non-MLA running for the NDP leadership, called for more spending on social housing and education, financed in part by a new tax bracket for people making $250,000 a year or more. “We can build homes and schools now, or we can build prisons later,” Larsen said.

he family left their hotel in downtown Vancouver, headed for the Granville SkyTrain station to take the SkyTrain to Scott Road station. After a 40 minute ride it was just a short walk to the adjacent Interurban station where they rode the original, restored, BCER Car 1225 past Kennedy Heights, Newton and Sullivan Stations, accompanied by historic commentary, to their destination; Cloverdale, the historic heart of Surrey. After a visit through the car barns and the replica Cloverdale station, they boarded the “Clover Belle” streetcar and toured Main Street Cloverdale, hopping off to tour the museum, shops and

We are only awaiting the return of the trucks (the carriages containing the motors and wheels) from their rebuild, to connect them with the car, and we will be ready to go.” Sprung said the work is to be completed by May or June of this year. “It comes, ironically, on the heels of the 100th anniversary of the construction of the Fraser Valley Line which connected Chilliwack in the east, and the other valley communities to Vancouver. And when we recommence activity, we will be the only interurban operation in Canada to be running on its original line.”

It would operate parallel to the cruise ship season so the Cloverdale heritage rail experience can be promoted globally, The rail operation will be by volunteer operators as is the case world wide with most heritage rail operations and running during summer weekends initially. “As we progressed with the five year rehabilitation of 1225 it became apparent that the Sullivan Station site was not suitable for the ultimate operation of the vehicles,” said Sprung. “The car barn was too small to accommodate the needed rolling stock, providing the necessary infrastructure of fire sprinklers and washrooms was extremely

restaurants before heading back to Vancouver via the interurban experience. This vision, long held by the supporters of the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society (FVHRS) initiative got a big boost when Surrey City Council recently approved plans to relocate the interurban restoration and rehabilitation project to property adjacent to the tracks in Cloverdale, from Sullivan Station at 64thand 152nd Street. The $2.9 million initiative will be used to purchase land on 176th near #10 Highway and erect a permanent car barn facility, twice the size of Sullivan barn (complete with an inspection pit). This will accommodate BCER Cars 1225 and 1304 and the Clover Bell streetcar, and provide a heated work shop and maintenance space, fire protection and space for both the volunteers and Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society to meet. “It finally sets the stage for the implementation of a heritage rail journey, tied in with a destination experience in Surrey’s historic Cloverdale, once a terminus for three separate railroads.” said John Sprung, Chair of the FVHRS. “Since we got underway in 1996, when the Surrey Heritage Advisory Commission launched a four year feasibility study, our vision has been get car, fix car –

“Initially, we will relocate the FVHRS heritage rail interurban centre in Cloverdale, and run 1225 between Cloverdale and Sullivan as ‘proof of concept’. Once established and proven, we plan to extend (first) to Newton and then to Scott Road where the system then becomes easily accessible to the world via SkyTrain.” There are needed road crossing upgrades to include lights, bells and automatic gates to extend beyond Sullivan Surrey Councillor Barbara Steele, responsible for Surrey Heritage and the council liaison to the FVHRS feels the heritage rail project is a very important piece to boost Surrey heritage tourism. “With the relocation of the Heritage Rail to Cloverdale, we can dramatically expand Surrey’s tourist experience offering by bringing our historic Cloverdale main street, our fairgrounds and museum complex together with an authentic streetcar and heritage rail experience all centered in one place. There will be so much more for visitors to do and see that will make a visit here most attractive and Cloverdale a true destination.” The economic value of this initiative to the community as a heritage tourism project is considerable conservatively estimated between $3 - $4 million annually with 1225, doubling in

expensive, and poor ground conditions for the access spur to the Southern Rail Line made it a very expensive location to continue with. When the City of Surrey offered the Cloverdale site, with better buildings and track access, combined with the advantages of being in the historical centre of Surrey, we happily embraced this solution.” Moving the interurbans to Cloverdale, however, is not the end of the story. Indeed it’s just the beginning according to FVHRS Secretary Allen Aubert. “The City of Surrey has made an important contribution toward the ultimate success of our dream – tying the heritage rail experience with the obvious historical aspects of Cloverdale,” Aubert said. “and although this will allow us to bring the interurban experience to reality, our society has much left to do to see the dream completed. In order to properly service the public, we must raise money for three additional critical projects: • to build a replica of the original Cloverdale station which will not only serve as a station, but function as an interpretive and display centre ($200 thousand) • commission the construction of a replica baggage car to house the generator necessary to power the

Jody York, 36, formerly of Abbotsford and now of Barriere, was sentenced to the longest prison term – 59 months – and was taken into custody on the spot. Edward Russell, 34, of Surrey was sentenced to 54 months in prison, three years of supervised release and a $10,000 fine. He was also taken into custody. The men were described as managers in a drug organization that moved thousands of pounds of marijuana into the U.S. in PVC pipe, hollowed-out logs, wood chips and hidden compartments in tractor trailer rigs.
“...a major drug organization that had a terrible impact...” Judge Robert S. Lasnik pounds of cocaine, 7,000 pounds of marijuana and about $3.5 million in cash. Quast was sentenced in July 2009 to 75 months in jail. To date, 54 defendants, including 28 Canadians, have been charged. A total of 48 have been convicted. At Friday’s sentencing hearing, Chief U.S. District Judge Robert S. Lasnik said this was “a major
drug organization that had a terrible impact on lower British Columbia and this part of the U.S.” Court documents say Hall’s role was limited to manual labour, such as hollowing out logs so that marijuana could be placed inside, or shoveling out bark mulch from trailers. He was paid approximately $500 for each load in which he was involved. He had no financial stake in the marijuana nor was he involved in the planning, the documents state. Hall became involved in the scheme in late 2004 and withdrew in 2006 “because he no longer wished to be involved in criminal activity.” Hotner allowed marijuana to be stored at his Abbotsford farm before it was loaded for transport. The other defendants sentenced on Friday were: Bryan Hanna, 28, of Vancouver, who received one year in prison; Brian Stone, 48, of Surrey, one year probation and 80 hours of community service; and Frederick Davey, 63, one year probation. All seven defendants pleaded guilty last November.

Shelters show support for dog licensing Licensing ensures lost dogs and owners are reunited Black Press CAN YOU GUARANTEE that wag-
ging tail will be there to greet you when you come home? Lost dogs without licences may never be reunited with their owners and Delta, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Langley, New Westminster, Richmond, District of North Vancouver and Vancouver animal shelter managers have come together in an effort to prevent this from happening. Through promotion and education of the benefits of licensing, the hope is to increase awareness and the number of dogs licensed in each district. Statistics from the Delta Community Animal Shelter and other municipal shelters shows that an alarming amount of dogs are still not licensed within their areas. “The issue of dog licensing is so important to the municipalities that we have come together as a collective group,� says Sarah Lowe, shelter manager for the Delta Community Animal Shelter. “Our hope is to educate the public about the importance of licensing.� Overall statistics across the municipalities show just
25 to 70 per cent of dogs are licensed. With just a 10-per-cent increase across the board, it would eliminate a lot of dogs that are left in the shelter. “We get about six calls a week of a licensed lost dog found by a neighbour,� says Lowe. “Because of the licence, we are able to connect them with their owner right away and the dog doesn’t even come to the shelter. We get approximately double that amount of un-licensed dogs coming into the shelter and around 20 per cent never get claimed by their owners. This is 20 per cent more than any shelter would like to see.� A lot of pet owners think that tattoos and microchips are solid
ways to find their pets if they become lost, but often they are difficult to trace. Unlike the local SPCA, municipal shelters operate under different bylaws and funding, thereby relying on sources like licensing. Licence funding goes back into the shelters which help municipalities provide regular care such as housing, food, training and medical care for stray and unwanted animals, provide protection for the residents from dangerous dogs, assist with animal care related issues, noise issues related to barking dogs and provide education to the public about dog specific issues. When it comes to compliance, the City of Calgary has become the leader in licensing, with 90 per cent of dogs and 45 per cent of cats licensed in Calgary. It also has the highest return-to-owner rates in North America. Dog owners can check with their local municipal shelter to find out more about licensing costs, penalties, renewal dates and advantages.

We can get an order from the Court restraining a party from disposing assets. If this order is breached, the breaching party may be found in contempt and face a Åne or imprisonment. Additionally, an order may be obtained requiring certain funds be paid to the Court for safekeeping. In situations where there is a family home, we can register a CertiÅcate of Pending Litigation against the title. This is especially useful where there is only one party on title as it will hinder that party from selling the property without the approval of his or her partner. We can also protect against the unwanted sale of properties in addition to the family home. Just as every relationship is unique, so is every relationship breakdown. If you Ånd yourself in the midst of a breakup and are concerned about your former partner disposing of assets you should meet with a lawyer. They will sit down with you and develop a plan that is suited to your own personal needs.

Surrey squads chase Provincial Cup Draw for BC Soccer Association tournament completed Monday by Rick Kupchuk WITH CLOSE TO seven months of league
and cup play now behind them, 30 men’s and women’s soccer teams are hoping to still be playing five weeks from now. The draws for the 20-team men’s and 10-team women’s Provincial Cup tournaments were made by the B.C. Soccer Association Monday afternoon in Vancouver. The two respective provincial champions will be declared after the cup finals May 15 in Aldergrove, with the winners advancing to national championship competition. Participating in the Provincial Cup is nothing new to the men and women from Surrey United, both of which earned the double this season by winning their respective league and cup competitions.
The United Firefighters men’s team, which has accomplished the Vancouver Metro Soccer League (VMSL) double for two consecutive seasons, has been a perennial contender for the provincial championship. But it hasn’t won since 2003. They came close last season, but lost 2-1 to Gorge FC of Victoria in the Provincial Cup final on Vancouver Island. Surrey will face VMSL rivals Columbus FC in the round of 16 the weekend of April 16-17. United won the Premier Division title with a 19-4-4 (won-tied-lost) record, while Columbus was third in the 14-team group at 13-5-8. “If you want to win it all, you have to beat the best,” said Martin Foden, executive director of Surrey United and an assistant
coach with the Firefighters team. “We seem to rise to the occasion against better opposition, and Columbus is a team that always plays us tough.” Four other local men’s teams are also in the Provincial Cup, and all have a bye through the first round this weekend. Because they finished first in the Fraser Valley Soccer League’s Premier Division, Peace Arch United bypasses the preliminary games and will begin play April 16 against Delta United, a team which placed fifth in the VMSL’s top tier with a 13-3-10 mark. Newton’s ICST Pegasus gets Bays United of Victoria in their round-of-16 game. Pegasus was seventh in the VMSL Premier Division at 11-5-10. Despite a 12th-place finish in the VMSL

with a 7-6-13 record, the Punjab Hurricanes qualified for Provincial Cup play with a semifinal appearance in the Imperial Cup competition. They will be at home at Newton Athletic Park for their first game April 16-17, against the winner of this weekend’s clash between Fraser Valley league rivals Athletic Club BC and the Port Moody Gunners. Surrey United is the lone local team in the women’s Provincial Cup. They have a first round bye, and won’t begin play until a quarterfinal contest May 1 at home against either Nanaimo United or the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Extreme. Surrey has won the last seven Provincial Cup titles, and was a perfect 12-0-0 in Metro Women’s Soccer League play. sports@surreyleader.com

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich With just four dates left on the Fraser Downs schedule before the summer break, there’s still a considerable amount of purse money left on the table. There are back-to-back $25,000 stake finals on Saturday and Sunday afternoons, followed by two $75,000 BC Stallion Stakes on closing night: Friday, April 15. The four-year-olds share the limelight with the male segment pacing on Saturday and then the mares on Sunday. It is the last full weekend at Fraser Downs but not the final card. The finale is Friday night – April 15 – before the split season resumes on October 7. The BC Stallion Stakes eliminations for three-yearold colts and fillies saw horsemen Mike Hennessy and Ed Hensley each win two events in a steady downpour at The Downs last Friday night. Hennessy drove Just Ryan to victory over a sloppy track in the first of two eliminations for colts and geldings in a final time of 1:58.3. It was the first win in five starts this season for Just Ryan, trained by Robert Merschback and owned by Aldergrove’s Tammie Mosterd. Trainer/driver Hensley had favoured Limit The Risk in the winner’s circle in the second colt elimination, reaching the wire in 1:57.4. Hensley guided 1-5 favourite Just Fiction to victory in the opening filly elimination in a final time of 1:59 while SRS Annie (1-9) with Hennessy in the sulky prevailed in the second leg with the identical winning time of 1:59. Hennessy drove four winners on the 11-race program; Hensley scored a driving triple and a training win so the H&H boys were pleased their respective accomplishments. There was a major upset in Sunday’s $12,500 Fillies and Mares Open when Western Bee at 17-1 nailed a career best final time of 1:54.2 in a three-horse photo finish. Trainer/driver J.F. Gagne got the nod over oddson favourite With Bells On and Jans Rich Girl. You’ve gotta love those three-across-the-track photo finishes. Time is running out at The Downs. Friday night, Saturday and Sunday afternoon and then Friday, April 15 before the summer break. See you there. djukich@fraserdowns.com 17755 60th Avenue Surrey BC

Local players off to Russia Canadian team leaves Friday by Nick Greenizan ONE MEMBER of the Surrey Eagles and three other local residents are headed to Russia this week, to represent Canada at the 2011 Russian Invitational Tournament. Surrey Eagles blueliner and Delta native Mitch Jones – who had 11 goals and 42 points this past season, tops among the team’s defencemen – was named to the squad last week, as was South Surrey resident Troy Paterson, a former Semiahmoo Minor Hockey alum who now plays for the BC Hockey League’s Cowichan Valley Capitals. Paterson, 18, is the son of former Surrey Eagles owner Ronnie Paterson. The elder Paterson – who is still is president and alternate governor of the Eagles, though he no longer owns a stake in the club – is also heading to the tournament, to be held in Podolsk, Russia, as the Canadian squad’s general manager. Rounding out the local contingent is South Surrey massage therapist
Larry Martin, who is part of the team’s medical staff. And while he is no longer a Surrey resident, the squad’s head coach is Tim Kehler, a former Eagles’ assistant coach who is now the bench boss for the Salmon Arm Silverbacks.
“It’s going to be very worthwhile...” Ronnie Paterson In Russia, the Canadian squad will face off against the Russian national junior team, a Russian Select team and the Slovakian national junior squad. “We’re incredibly excited to be making this trip and giving these young men an opportunity to represent their country,” said Ronnie Paterson in a release. “It’s going to be very worthwhile for these players and good for the BCHL, as well.” The team leaves Friday, April 8 and returns April 19.

here’s a fitness centre just around the corner from where 57-year-old Debbie Rondeau lives. The Surrey woman has driven past it nearly every day for the past 23 years. Until recent months, she never thought to step foot inside it. In fact, two years ago Rondeau was physically incapable of any exercise. She couldn’t stand for more than just a few minutes. If she went to a restaurant, her husband, Andy, had to go in ahead of her to make sure there were more than just booths, which she couldn’t fit into. When flying down to their vacation home in California, she had to share part of Andy’s seat next to her, and ask for a seatbelt extension so the belt could fit around her. Rondeau stepped on a scale in March 2009 and weighed 430 pounds. “That was a surprise, even to me,” Rondeau says, reflecting on that eye-opening weigh-in. Born in Saskatchewan, Rondeau moved to B.C. when she was 10 years old. In her early 20s, she married her husband and the couple moved to the Vancouver area to start a family. After the birth of her second child, Rondeau started to put on weight – eventually reaching more than 400 pounds. “I like to say I dieted myself to that weight,” she explains. “I was constantly dieting, and I would lose. But then I would regain it, plus a little bit. It took a while, but I eventually got really, really large.” After years of failed weigh-loss programs Debbie Rondeau and fad diets, Rondeau’s mother pointed out an advertisement she had seen for a Surrey-based program called SureSlim. Rondeau paid a visit to the clinic, where she had blood tests done, which were then analyzed by a doctor. She was then given a specific list of what foods she could and could not have, based on her metabolism, as well as the portion amounts and time of day she was supposed to eat the specific foods. She says the results were immediate. “The first week I think, I dropped 12 pounds or more,” she says, noting she had seen similar quick results with other diet programs that she had never been able to stick to. “I guess in the back of your mind, there’s always that thought of, ‘I wonder how long I’m going to last this time…’” After losing 241 pounds in 21 months, Rondeau can safely say she has found a program that she’s able to stick to. “The one thing that stands out most for me, which makes me think why I’ve been so successful, is I don’t have cravings,” she explains. “I always was successful when I tried to lose weight, but I’d hit a point where I would have cravings and I would go off and I would never go back on again, it seemed.” Rondeau attributes the lack of cravings to her balanced insulin levels – a result of sticking to the proper foods determined from her blood work. She also says that she never feels deprived of goodies or other unhealthy foods. And about nine months ago, she joined that gym around the block from her house and has been working with a personal trainer several times a week.

of the SPCA they often think of the thousands of homeless cats and dogs awaiting new, loving homes. But the BC SPCA’s 37 shelters around the province provide sheltering, care and protection for every type of animal imaginable – from hamsters to horses. Small animals – sometimes referred to as “pocket pets” – are frequently left at SPCA branches when pet guardians become tired of caring for them or find themselves with unexpected litters due
to lack of education about spaying and neutering small pets. The BC SPCA is urging adopters to think of the SPCA as their “first adoption option” when bringing a small pet into their home. While hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rats and rabbits can all make wonderful pets, it is important to be informed about their specific needs and suitability for your family. Did you know, for example, that while many people cringe at thought of having a rat in their home, they are actually the most social, intelligent, and interactive of all the small animals, making them an ideal pet for a child? Animal scientists have even discovered that rats emit a happy, laughter-like sound when playing. Rabbits, on the other hand, are prey animals who can become fearful when picked up or handled incorrectly by chil-
Do your homework about small pets. dren and make much better pets for adults or older children who are ready for a greater level of responsibility. Providing the right habitat, diet and exercise regime for small animals are also important. Every animal, great or small, has very specific behaviours and needs that must be met in order for them to have good welfare. Too often, small pets are housed in undersized cages with little or no enrichment because their guardians don’t understand their needs.
The BC SPCA’s website has a wealth of information on pet care for small animals (spca. bc.ca/pet-care) to help guardians provide just the right environment, diet and enrichment for their new pet. If you’re thinking of adding a pint-sized pet to your family, be sure to check out your local SPCA (spca.bc.ca) or rescue group – there are hundreds of furry friends just waiting for a new home. Lorie Chortyk is the general manager of community relations at the BC SPCA.

Music and dance coming to the Surrey Museum on Saturday THIS YEAR MARKS the 120th anniversary of the arrival of Ukrainians in Surrey. According to the 2006 census, there were 16,050 Ukrainians residing in our city. In celebration of Surrey’s rich tapestry of Ukrainian culture, the Surrey Museum is hosting a Ukrainian Cultural Afternoon on April 9. Visitors will be welcomed with toe-tapping music, pysanky egg decorating demonstrations, displays, vintage films, and a colouring table
for kids. In 2010, in partnership with members of the Ukrainian community, the museum hosted its first cultural afternoon and was filled to capacity as crowds came in. This year’s highlight will be a 1 p.m. concert by the Ukrainian Dulcimer Ensemble. “When we started out, none of us knew a note,” says Surrey resident Gladys Andreas, who formed the Ukrainian Dulcimer Ensemble with her
musical partners in 1998. The ensemble, whose members grew up listening to Ukrainian music, soon became sought-after musicians playing for audiences throughout the Lower Mainland, other provinces and U.S. states. A forerunner to the pianoforte and the piano, the dulcimer is a trapezoid-shaped string instrument with anywhere from 120 to 144 strings, played by striking the strings with a wooden hammer. In addition to the dulcimer,
the ensemble includes accompaniment by fiddle, guitar, mandolin, and harmonica. The afternoon’s activities also include dancing by Surrey’s Kvitka Ukrainian Dancers (1 p.m.) and a Ukrainian film series (11 a.m. to 1 p.m.). The Surrey Museum is located at 17710 56A Ave. This year’s admission has been sponsored by the Friends of the Museum Society. For more information, call 604-592-6956 or visit www. surrey.ca/heritage
