distraught Jones when he showed up. “I do,” said Jones, who confessed everything. The worst part was when his mother came to the storefront police station and burst into tears. If the case went to trial, Jones would end up with a criminal record. Good-bye to travelling outside the country, farewell to a career in any professional field where he might handle other people’s money and so long to a licence in any of the many professions that ban convicted felons.

Pre-Trial Centre contracted H1N1 flu last month, raising renewed concerns about overcrowding in Lower Mainland jails. B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union spokesman Dean Purdy said the Surrey jail houses 270 to 300 inmates at any given time – close to double its design capacity. “The virus is going to spread quicker in an overcrowded situation than in a space for which the jail was originally designed – which is Dianne Watts up to 152 inmates,” he said, adding correctional officers could then bring the virus home to their families. He confirmed guards and staff had the opportunity to be immunized to H1N1 last year but could not say how many had chosen to take the vaccine.

Crime: Making it right Restorative justice program saves Surrey teen from criminal record

by Dan Ferguson RANDY JONES was in a panic and not thinking clearly when he stole money from his boss, John Byrd. The Surrey teen was already worried about paying for a university education and then his aging car cracked up on some black ice, requiring some expensive repairs. So he did something extremely stupid: he robbed Byrd, the gruff Cloverdale businessman who hired the soft-spoken student to man the till and take orders. (The names of the teen and

businessman have been changed). Jones started secretly pocketing cash and billing client credit cards to cover the theft. It was only a matter of time before someone complained and the scam was uncovered. By the time that happened, Jones had taken almost $1,400. A store supervisor alerted Byrd and called the Surrey RCMP. Const. Stephen Babcock phoned Jones and invited him to the Community Police Office (CPO). “You know why you’re here,” Babcock told a

Prizes provide incentive to quit smoking

Oh boy! Couple’s third child is a ﬁrst Surrey’s Harjinder Sran and her husband Dharmjit hold their yet-tobe named baby son, who was born at 12:08 a.m. on New Year’s Day at Surrey Memorial Hospital. The couple’s third child (he has four- and eightyear-old siblings), the eight-pound, seven-ounce boy was the ﬁrst baby born this year out of the 12 hospitals that serve the Fraser Health Region.

B.C. Lung Association contest is on now Black Press SOUTH SURREY’S Anne Galligan,

volunteer director for the B.C. Lung Association, is encouraging people who want to quit smoking to sign up for the association’s QuitNow & WIN contest. With more than $20,000 in prizes, a 24/7 network of online and telephone support and a whole community of people providing advice and encouragement, the QuitNow & WIN contest is intended to provide smokers with incentive to quit. There are weekly cash prizes just for registering.

The Shredder spells doom for old drives and gadgets Data-destroying service in Surrey promises worry-free recycling by Jeff Nagel UNWANTED ELECTRONICS, meet The Shredder.

“It can be very difficult for anyone to quit smoking,” said Galligan. According to 2009 statistics, 14.9 per cent – approximately 550,000 British Columbians – smoke. At the same time, it is estimated that about 70 per cent of smokers want to quit. Registration for the contest closes at 11:59 p.m. Jan. 7. To be eligible for prizes, contestants must remain smoke-free from Jan. 8 through until midnight Feb. 4. For more information, visit www.quitnow.ca

A provincial government warehouse in Surrey is once again prepared to take your old hard drive or other data storage devices and grind them up for recycling. The cheap service – $2.50 or less per device – is popular after the Christmas influx of new tech gifts and ideal for anyone wanting to recycle old electronic gear but afraid their personal information, passwords and other data might fall into the wrong hands. Not everyone knows how to safely erase stored information, an environment ministry spokesman said, adding the service guarantees complete destruction beyond any chance of data retrieval. The Shredder – also nicknamed EDDIE for Evil Destroyer of Delicate Internal Electronics – chews up electronic gear such as hard drives and spits out coin-sized pieces that are then recycled. There’s also an EDDIE Jr. dedicated to taking smaller items like cellphones, Blackberries and other handheld devices and portable memories.

The service, introduced in 2007, is credited with keeping more than 80,000 kilograms of waste electronics out of landfills. It also accepts various storage media, such as CDs, DVDs, floppy disks and memory sticks. See the complete list of what can be shredded at: http://www. pss.gov.bc.ca/air/media-destruction-general-public.html. The Lower Mainland’s Shredder is based at the government’s Asset Investment Recovery warehouse at 8307 130 Street in Surrey and is open from 8:30 to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday. The warehouse also collects at no charge items like computers, monitors, laptops, printers, fax machines, stereos and televisions for e-waste recycling. E-waste recycling expanded earlier this year to include more audio and video electronics as well as telephones. For complete list of what can be recycled, see: http://www.encorp.ca/electronics/acceptable. The expansion also means a range of new items are also now subject to environmental handling fees to pay for the e-waste recycling system, which aims to keep electronics out of local landfills or being exported for salvage in dangerous conditions overseas.

Delta firefighting reaches new heights New truck can tackle six-storey ﬁres by Kevin Diakiw

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

From left: Delta Mayor Lois Jackson, CAO George Harvie, Delta Fire Chief Dan Copeland and ﬁreﬁghter John Burr show off the new tower truck.

DELTA HAS added a state-of-theart fire truck to its fleet, allowing crews to fight fires twice as high as before. “It will go six storeys,” Mayor Lois Jackson said. “It’s very welcome to us in North Delta, particularly with our highrises.” The truck features a 100-foot aerial platform with enhanced protection for Delta firefighters,

including a cascade air system that supplies breathing air to the platform. With larger-scale developments in Delta, including the Sunstone Community at Delsom Estates, comes an increased demand for firefighting capabilities. “The safety of our citizens and firefighters is of utmost importance,” Jackson said. “The addition of this fire truck to Delta’s fleet enhances our ability to effectively

serve all residents and businesses of Delta.” The $962,000 truck was built in Snyder, Nebraska and was supplied by Safetek Emergency Vehicles Ltd. in Abbotsford B.C. Jackson said the need for the truck was identified years ago. “There already is one in LadnerSouth Delta, and of course now we’ve got the one for North Delta,” Jackson said. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Maybe there was another way, Babcock thought. The officer had done a mock restorative justice meeting as part of his training. He phoned Jana Stocker, the coordinator of the Surrey restorative justice program. Jones met the criteria. He was a Surrey resident between the age of 12 and 17 with no previous criminal record who had committed a non-violent offence. Stocker contacted Byrd. Would he consider an alternative to laying charges? Byrd still remembers being nine years old, impoverished and so desperate that he and his brother stole $10 left on a doorstep in a milk jar for the delivery man. They were quickly caught and he never forgot what it felt like. “It was a hell of a good lesson.”

Maybe, he thought, Jones could learn, too. Byrd said yes. There was a meeting, everyone sitting in a circle where Byrd got to tell Jones his theft was a violation of trust. A tearful Jones took responsibility, apologized and agreed to pay all of the money back and carry out community service work. He wrote an apology to the 10 clients whose credit cards were charged for non-existent bills. “I was disgusted that I did it,” Jones says. And after everything that happened, Byrd gave Jones a job at the very business where the thefts occurred. “He’s not a hardened criminal,” Byrd says. “Why ruin someone’s life?” Byrd says for him it was a choice between resolving the issue in a matter of weeks and getting

compensated quickly or enduring the long waits of a backed-up court system, likely with no repayment. “Had I thrown him to the wolves, I would have got nothing,” he says. Recently, a still-grateful Jones was reunited with Byrne, Babcock and Stocker at the Cloverdale CPO to recount his story. “I’m glad I got caught,” he says. He hasn’t been in trouble since. Jones never did fix his car. These days, he takes public transit, all the way to the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

women were isolated from other prisoners and when out of their cells they wore masks, and phones or other surfaces they touched were later wiped down, the ministry says. Court appearances for infected inmates are delayed where possible or else held via video conference. Other inmates were also treated with Tamiflu as a preventative measure. Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts has been calling for more pretrial space for some time, noting prisoners are being double and triple bunked in cells. “The overcrowding causes a variety of issues,” Watts said. “You’ve got prisoner-to-prisoner issues, prisoner-to-guard issues and you also have health issues.” Watts said the current problems speak to the necessity of the expanded pretrial centre being built beside the current one. It’s expected to be complete in 2012. “The need is significant to get the issues resolved,” she said. “It’s only going to be resolved when more cells are built.” Officials at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control say the flu season this year has been mild so far. The three Surrey jail cases were among just 10 H1N1 cases detected across B.C. in the last half of December, according to physician-epidemiologist Dr. Jane Buxton. Buxton said flu season seems late in arriving and the centre still recommends vaccination for people over 65 or with chronic conditions. jnagel@surreyleader.com

temperatures in February that literally made the Vancouver Winter Olympics the “greenest Games ever” heads Environment Canada’s list of the year’s top Canadian weather stories. The rain and high freezing levels that opened the Games had organizers trucking snow in from Manning Park and that was just part of the frantic fight against Mother Nature, the weather office said. Snow-starved Cypress “looked better suited for mud-wrestling than snowboarding,” the list says, despite the use of straw bales and wood, dry ice embedded in moguls and urea spread on snow to preserve it. The winter proved the mildest ever – warmer than the once-a-century worst case scenario Vanoc prepared for, according to the list, with temperatures soaring above 10 degrees in January for 13 days. “Vancouver has never

The worst fatal accident happened in March near Revelstoke, when a powerful avalanche during a snowmobile competition killed two people and injured 30 more. Other notable B.C. weather stories: • The Good Friday wind storm that lashed the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, knocking out power, closing roads, sinking boats and canceling ferry sailings. • The June 13 Oliver landslide, which took out orchards and vineyards, caused evacuations of residents and closed the Okanagan Highway.

A few days into the Games, a high pressure system took hold, bringing clear skies and mild dry weather for a solid week. “In spite of the horrendous weather leading up to the Opening Ceremonies and continuing through the first three days of the Winter Games, the event was a renowned success,” Environment Canada concludes. “When the weather changed, so did the mood, culminating in an emotional uniting of the entire nation.” The list also includes Hurricane Igor’s pounding of Newfoundland (#2) and the costliest

NEW YEAR GOALS

RAESIDE

Resolution revolution

t’s a strange custom: a night of decadence on New Year’s Eve, followed by penance – either a hangover or a chilly swim – and finally a promise of dieting, exercise and financial belt-tightening. In January, after a month of over-indulgence, there seems to be no way to avoid the endless exhortations to make resolutions: to save money, get extra sleep, quit bad habits, eat better and exercise more. These expectations are a tall order, so it’s no surprise most new year’s resolutions fail after just 15 days. It might be better to adopt a philosophy of self-improvement all year ’round. Now that the party’s over, here are a few suggestions for enjoying the fresh new year that stretches out in front of us: • Less Facebook, more face time. With our lives are completely invaded with the need to constantly communicate – texting, tweeting, blogging, online commenting, Skype-ing, etc. – create regular opportunities to meet with real people in real time. Walk to the other end of the office building to chat with a colleague rather than shoot them a fast email. Brave your teenager’s room instead of texting your request. Take part in a conversation “café.” Encourage your spouse to take a “Facebreak” and not visit their social media sites for a week – and see what happens. Maybe healthier pastimes will fill the void. • Put grace before guerilla driving on the roads. Do you really need to be the third car through the red light on the left turn? Is riding the bumper of the car in front of you actually going to get you to your destination much faster than the rest of the moving herd? This year, do yourself and fellow motorists a favour and think twice before you hit the horn, wave thank you when appropriate, gesture that you’re sorry if you screw up, and if all else fails, smile. • Cultivate mindfulness, grasshoppers. Pay attention to the burrito being wolfed down for lunch. Notice and appreciate the wildlife and green space in our urban enclaves. Make eye contact with strangers. Wrench your nose out of the commuter rag, ditch the ear pods and free your fingers from the iPhone. Take a look around and see your surroundings from a new vantage point. Perhaps all that overdoing it at Christmas time and Dec. 31 is a way of making up for the stress and self-denial we subject ourselves to all year: the time crunches, work-family imbalance, perceived failures and ever-faster pace of daily life. How about a revolution? Let’s try to enjoy the warmth and light-heartedness of the holidays throughout 2011.

Liberal leader and nearly a decade as premier, Canada’s ¿rst legislated schedule for elections is one of the signi¿cant achievements that I hope will endure. Another one is the carbon tax. Leadership hopeful Kevin Falcon has already suggested that the carbon tax on fossil fuels be frozen when the currently legislated schedule of increases runs out in 2012. Currently at 4.45 cents on a litre of gasoline, it goes to 5.56 cents next July and 6.67 cents a year later. The tax applies to all carbon-emitting fuels, including coal, shredded tires and even peat moss. Offset by income tax cuts, it is designed as a growing incentive to ¿nd low-carbon energy alternatives. It also promotes walkable communities and ¿tness, which our culture desperately needs. Then there are the income tax cuts.

ef¿ciency that a globalized economy demands, and that bureaucracies resist. Natural resource ministries already operate in Ontario, Nova Scotia, Alberta, Manitoba and Ottawa, all in conjunction with separate environment ministries. Similar efforts are in place in California and Oregon. The related legacies of privatization and energy development are also controversial. Setting aside the criminal acts of a couple of ministerial aides, does anyone still believe that any province should own and operate a railway? That it should serve as a costly social program for ranchers, or run empty passenger cars for the sake of nostalgia? Power development, like health care, is too big to be done by the state alone. Both these systems need to get bigger, and the costs are staggering. Finally, there is the HST. It remains to be seen if this policy will survive as a further step in B.C.’s political maturity.

Surrey North Delta Leader

Illegal Party discipline is unconstitutional suites still ignored RE: “THE YEAR of the independent MLA” (B.C.

AS WE head into 2011, I hope that the City of Surrey uses my increase in taxes wisely, but I doubt it. I see more and more homes converting space to suites, and many building illegally to accommodate suites. The people in these suites put a tremendous strain on the infrastructure of Surrey, which now I have to pay more for, and which they and their landlords don’t. The roads I travel are getting bogged down with the extra cars, the schools are overcrowded, and I wonder when the water will slow to a trickle out of my tap and the toilet won’t flush. I have reported to the city illegal construction and suites in my neighbourhood, but in two responses from them, they won’t do a thing. It is time for Surrey to deal with these problems before we end having a tragedy like Vancouver with the deaths of three people in an illegal accommodation. Enforcing the laws and by-laws of this city shouldn’t be an option for the staff.

Views, Dec. 29). Tom Fletcher’s column gives an accurate perspective on our current state of politics. Taxpayer revolt, MLA recalls, revolts in party ranks, both leaders driven from office – all happening around the same time – may be signaling a fracture in the basement our politics. When you step back and trace back the prime cause of all these events, it all comes down to one common denominator: the inordinate concentration of power in a few people and the abuse of it. Those few who hold power in our system do so by the imposition of “party discipline” on elected members, and with this device they control the political system completely. Party discipline is not a law, but a convention, as

are most things in the Westminster parliamentary system; in fact it is not written anywhere. However, revolts have been inevitable throughout time because this doctrine when abused clashes with all that is inherent in natural human behaviour. It usurps the authentic self and individual identity of the elected members and subjugates them to the sole purpose of subservience to the party leaders. The voting public feel they are left without fair representation in important decisions that affect them.

Question voters to boost turnout

Jill Singel

HAVE YOU NOTICED how many empty lots there are near 68 Avenue and 132 Street in Surrey? There are four right now. All of them are being dumped on by individuals who see an opportunity to get rid of the garbage they didn’t want in their yards. Unwin Park is close to all these lots. We have children and pets who go to enjoy the park, not the vermin attracted by debris and rotting garbage. At the lot next door to me, the owner left it in a tidy manner and slowly it has filled up with furniture, garbage bags, carpet, rocks, branches and bushes. I have complained to city hall and they said they would drive by and look at it, but that is all that has happened. I want people to stop dumping on empty lots. There should be huge fines for those who do this type of thoughtless destruction to other’s property.

free expression thereof. Section 32(b) states these rights apply specifically to provincial legislatures. These provisions in law are abridged when anyone is subject to censure or punishment for exercising these rights, which is exactly what party discipline does. In the cases of MLAs Bill Bennett and Bob Simpson, the law was broken because both of these men spoke according to their Charter rights and suffered censure and punishment for doing so. The Charter has provisions for court remedy in cases of contravention, so these men could take legal action against their former parties.

POLITICIANS CONTINUE to suggest methods to improve voter turnout that maintains the status quo of a system favouring the politician over the electorate. Rather than lower the voting age in an attempt to improve voter turnout, a method that appears to have worked in other areas is to simply add something to the ballot other than the names of the candidates. Specific and important questions could be put before the electorate with binding results. The determination of questions included on the ballot could be determined through some process, there are lots to choose from if you look outside Canada. Perhaps, like our southern neighbours in Washington state, based on collection of signatures of some 10 per cent of the voter’s list. For example, the always contentious question of TransLink funding could be put on the ballot with the next municipal election. The question might have a yes or no answer based on a number of choices, including raising property taxes, adding a vehicle levy or providing no additional funding. Politicians are often critical of allowing the electorate to make a direct decision, usually indicating that the electorate will never approve a question that would increase taxes. If that is true, then the politicians and their parties have failed. It is, or should be a politician’s job to educate the electorate on both the question and their party’s position on the question before the question is proposed on the ballot. The current method seems to involve governments simply spending tax dollars to “educate” the public after an unpopular decision has been made. The electorate can make intelligent choices to elect our governments and the electorate can make intelligent choices on difficult issues. Perhaps more voters would get involved if they felt their vote actually had value and made a difference.

A letter writer argues questions about important issues on ballots would increase voter turnout during elections.

Public is uneducated about pit bull breed AFTER READING a recent letter entitled, “Surrey

needs breed specific dog law,” I was very upset to see how uneducated people are about the pit bull breed. It’s not in the Pit bull’s gene to be a vicious dog, but it is how the dog is brought up. Any dog, including Rottweilers, Dobermans, German shepherds and even Dalmatians can be vicious if the owner allows them to be. Poor socialization and poor training directly affects the dog’s behaviour. Humans are not genetically born killers, but certain events throughout the life can turn somebody into one. Having two pit bulls myself, and having had numerous dogs in the past, I know this pit bull breed requires a ton more training,

socialization, patience and time. Any dog will attack if it feels threatened regardless of the breed, hence all puppies should be taken to public places, schools and puppy socialization classes at a young age to avoid problems such as feeling threatened

around other people or dogs. My two dogs, both brothers, are a prime example of this. They are the most loving and affectionate dogs anyone has come across. Ask my vet, ask my trainer, ask the pet store trainers. Recently, Delta has labelled the pit bull as a non-dangerous breed. Instead of banning this breed, let’s be smart, let’s have some educated people talk about raising these puppies, let’s introduce on-leash, muzzle bylaws for certain breeds. Banning them isn’t a solution, it is plain ignorant. I suggest all the dog lovers and non-lovers checkout www.hugabull.com for more information on pit bulls. Tan Bal

have identified two suspects in a triple stabbing that took place outside a local restaurant in June of this year. Their tips led to the arrest of two 20-year-old men after pictures and a security video of the alleged attackers was released by the Surrey RCMP and posted on The Leader’s website. Zachary Arnold John Gagne and Codie James LeBlond, both Surrey residents, are each charged with three counts of assault causing bodily harm. Gagne is also charged with three additional counts of assault with a weapon. Both men appeared before a Surrey Provincial Court judge on Dec. 15.

This security camera video clip led to the arrest of two suspects. Their next appearance is set for Jan. 7. Court records show Gagne is currently being held in custody while Leblond is not.

Three people suffered non-life-threatening stab wounds on June 16 around 9:50 p.m. at a fast food outlet in the 10200 block of King George Boulevard. Police said a group of three men and two women entered the premises and got into a verbal confrontation with three other men who were sitting eating their meal. The male suspects then left the restaurant and ambushed the three victims when they went outside. Police arrived to find the attackers had fled, leaving three wounded men behind. Const. Peter Neily, spokesperson for the Surrey RCMP, called the break in the case “a perfect example” of how police, citizens and news outlets can work together to locate criminal suspects.

Man stabbed

“Award of Merit Winner”

Suspect arrested Black Press A MAN IS recovering from stab wounds after being attacked on the weekend in Newton. It was just after 8 a.m. Sunday when a 36-yearold man was stabbed in the stomach in a home in the 12800 block of 64 Avenue. Police arrived and found the 55-yearold suspect in the stabbing approaching them.

He refused to follow RCMP instructions, such as showing his hands. RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said officers tasered the suspect once. Neither the suspect nor the victim is known to police. The suspect was evaluated by paramedics then taken to jail. The victim was transported to Royal Columbian Hospital.

POLICE BRIEFS

People rang in the new year with good behaviour: RCMP Black Press SURREY RCMP are reporting a fairly uneventful night on New Year’s Eve and a significant drop in the number of people drinking and driving. Given that New Year’s Eve occurred on a weekend, police were expecting more calls, and had more officers out as a result. “We had deployed approximately 50 officers above and beyond our normal strength,” said Surrey RCMP spokesman Cpl. Drew Grainger. There were the expected number of calls regarding alcohol-related incidents, fighting, etc. but nothing above what would normally be expected

during the annual year-end celebrations. Grainger also said there were “minimal” road-side suspensions due to drunk driving. “It’s been fairly unique,” Grainger said. “Our incidents of drinking and driving are down.” He attributes that to new legislation, which increases penalties for drunk driving. Grainger believes that has heightened motorists’ awareness. He said police enforcement was equivalent to previous years, if not more. Yet the number of people found drunk behind the wheel dropped. “It’s fantastic,” Grainger said.

Pair safe after New Year’s Eve ﬁre SURREY FIRE crews battled a

two-alarm fire at a house in the 14200 block of 84A Avenue around 7:30 p.m. New Year’s Eve. When firefighters arrived, the entire back of the house was ablaze. A mother and son were home when the fire broke out, but got out safely. Fire officials returned to the scene New Year’s Day to investigate the cause of the fire.

Crime rate rankings VIOLENT AND property crime

has steadily fallen in recent years in B.C., but most of

Canada enjoys still lower crime rates. B.C. ranked eighth best among Canadian provinces for crime in 2009, according to the B.C. Progress Board’s annual report. The combined violent and property crime rate fell 27 per cent from 9.8 crimes per 100 people in 2000 to 7.2 in 2009. NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said B.C. might not have Canada’s third worst crime rate if the government had done more than “pay lip service” to the challenge of gang violence. He noted pre-trial jails are 200 per cent over capacity and courts are clogged with cases because of a shortage of judges, prosecutors and other staff.

REGIONAL BRIEFS

New chair for TransLink by Jeff Nagel Simon Fraser University economist Nancy Olewiler is the new chair of the TransLink board. She took over Jan. 1, replacing former board chair Dale Parker, who stepped down this fall after serving three years. TransLink’s appointed

board of directors elected Olewiler chair. She had recently been reappointed to a second three-year term on the board. “You can expect TransLink to continue its focus on efficiency and effectiveness to maximize the benefits we deliver with our existing transportation system,” Olewiler said in a statement. TransLink will aim to give local mayors and the province the best possible information and advice on developing a progressive transportation plan for the region and determining how to

politicians who served on the old board, has operational control of TransLink and meets behind closed doors.

Falling natural gas prices should save the typical gas-heated household $66 this year, according to Terasen Gas. Bills are projected to total $1,009 annually, down more than six per cent from $1,075 in 2010. Lower rates for natural gas were approved last month by the B.C. Utilities Commission and took effect Jan. 1. The price drop is due to a glut of natural gas on the market, continued strong production and lower than expected demand. Terasen passes on the commodity cost of the gas without markup, instead earning its profit on the separate delivery charges to transport it. Not benefitting from the low prices are those households that locked

in to long-term rates offered in 2007 by rival gas marketers who are reaping big profits. Most of those customers are a year away from escaping from their contracts, which force them to pay rates that are now at least double Terasen’s new fluctuating rate.

Transit pass ads are here JUST WHEN you thought

there was no surface left in the transit system without advertising, TransLink has found another. January’s monthly FareCards bear ads, which marketers have promised will generate at least $84,000 a year for TransLink. The first six months of ads are already sold out and will occupy nearly half of the front face of the pass. TransLink marketing director John Beaudoin said advertising is a significant money-maker for the transportation authority, reeling in $9 million a year, helping reduce the need to raise fares and taxes.

Copies of the by-law(s), development variance permits, supporting staff reports and any relevant background documentation may be viewed in the “Notices” section of the City of Surrey website at www.surrey.ca or inspected at the City Hall, Monday through Friday (except statutory holidays) between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. from Tuesday, December 14, 2010 to Monday, January 10, 2011. All persons who believe their interest in property will be affected by the proposed by-law(s)/development variance permits, Restrictive Covenant Amendment shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing on matters contained in the by law(s)/development variance permits. Should you have any concerns or comments you wish to convey to Council, please fax to 604-591-8731, email clerkswebmail@surrey.ca, or submit in writing to the City Clerk at 14245 - 56 Avenue, Surrey, BC V3X 3A2, no later than Monday, January 10, 2011 at 4:00 p.m. Please note that Council may not receive further submissions from the public or interested persons concerning these applications after the Public Hearing has concluded.

Motorists are advised that during the month of January, 2011, eastbound traffic on the Port Mann Bridge may be reduced to one lane during the evening. These temporary lane closures are necessary to transport sections of the crane used to install the deck on the new Port Mann Bridge. Beginning at 9:00 p.m. most nights, Highway 1 eastbound between the Brunette Overpass and Johnston Hill will be reduced to one lane, the eastbound High Occupancy Vehicle lane, which will be open to all traffic. The two remaining lanes will be closed from the Cape Horn Interchange to Johnston Hill. All lanes will reopen by 5:00 a.m. each day. Trucks transporting sections of the crane will travel west in the closed eastbound lanes. This route will be well signed and speed limits will be reduced to 60 kilometres per hour while lanes are closed. Motorists are asked to watch for signs and obey posted speed limits. Closures are tentatively scheduled from January 4 to January 31, 2011. However, these dates are subject to change due to weather.

calendar year, the Surrey Eagles are riding a four-game winning streak into 2011, and will look to make it five tonight (Wednesday) when they host the Alberni Valley Bulldogs at South Surrey Arena. And now that they are finally healthy – formerly concussed forward Jeff Vanderlugt is expected to return tonight after missing 10 games – head coach Matt Erhart is excited to see what type of team he has on his hands. “We finally have our team set, and we’ve got a busy month ahead with a lot of games, so we should see what kind of team we have here,” he said Monday, a week ahead of the Canadian Junior A Hockey League trade deadline. “We’ve had some injuries this year – Tyler (Morley) was out at one point, Dale (Hunt) was out, Dan Gentzler missed some games, and so did Vanderlugt… it’ll be nice to get everybody back.” Surrey is 9-1-1 in the last 11 games, and have now vaulted four points past the Victoria Grizzlies for third place in the B.C. Hockey League’s

Coastal Conference. They’re just one point back of the Langley Chiefs, and have four games in hand. Last Wednesday, the Eagles returned from their 11-day Christmas break to beat Alberni Valley 4-1, and followed that a day later with a 4-3 overtime victory over the Nanaimo Clippers, in a game played at Richmond’s Minoru Arena, as the showcase game of the Richmond International Midget Tournament. “Against Port Alberni, I thought we played a really strong, 60-minute game, which was good – you never quite know what kind of (performance) you’ll get coming off the Christmas break,” said Erhart. “So I was pretty happy with that. Now we just have to continue to get better.” Dale Hunt led the way for Surrey, with three goals in two games, while blue-liner Steve Koshey played the role of hero against Nanaimo, potting the OT winner at the 4:20 mark of the extra frame. Koshey wasn’t the only Eagles’ defenceman to find the back of the net last week, either; Riley Sweeney and Josh Monk each scored against

Major Midget team loses four straight in Calgary by Rick Kupchuk AFTER CLOSING OUT

the 2010 portion of their B.C. Major Midget League (MML) schedule with an 11-game win streak, the Valley West Hawks were winless at the Mac’s Midget hockey tournament in Calgary Dec. 26-30. The Hawks, in second place in the MML, began

play in Calgary on Boxing Day morning, falling 6-1 to the UFA Bisons. Outshot 31-21, Valley West netted the game’s first goal with Langley’s Kyle Burroughs scoring just six minutes into the contest. The Hawks trailed 3-1 after each of the first two periods. White Rock forward Grant Rostvig was the Star of the Game for Val-

ley West. Against the Winnipeg Wild two days later, the Hawks were again in the game at the midway point, only to fall 7-3. Trevor Cox of Surrey opened the scoring, and after Winnipeg went up 3-1, Scott Cooke found the net to pull Valley West back to within one. Daniell Lange of Langley

notched the third Hawks goal. Cooke earned Star of the Game honours. Game three was against the Prince Albert Mintos, Cox and Surrey’s Greg Howard, had the B.C. team up 2-1 late in the second period. The Mintos tied it before the session was over, then tallied a pair of third period goals for a 4-2

Saip: Joins Surrey 10 pcs. From page 14 the Bulldogs. “We’ve been getting some really good production from our back-end – we have four guys with over 20 points now, so we’re pretty happy with how our blue-line looks,” Erhart said. Erhart made a move on the weekend to strengthen the team’s defensive corps further, adding 19-year-old Western Hockey League veteran Linden Saip from the Kamloops Blazers. Saip, who had been on the Eagles’ protected

list, played for Erhart previously at the bantam and midget levels. He had seven points in 13 games this season, but had 12 goals and 30 points last season for Kamloops. In addition to tonight’s tilt with the Bulldogs, the Eagles are also in action this weekend, with a homeand-home series against the Penticton Vees. On Friday, the Eagles travel to Penticton for the first game, before both clubs return to the South Surrey Arena for a Saturday rematch, with the puck drop scheduled for 7 p.m.

the Red Deer Optimist Rebels. Cooke, a forward from Surrey, was the Hawks Star of the Game, also his second of the tournament.

Physical Exercise for a Better Brain Most of us know that physical exercise is good for our general health, but did you know that physical exercise is also good for your brain? If you think you’re going to get smarter sitting in front of your computer or watching television, think again. Here scientists present the evidence that a healthy human being is a human doing.

Our Sedentary Society Not too long ago, futurists envisioned humans evolving giant thumbs in response to a push-button world. They did not foresee humanity’s real response to all its labor-saving conveniences – a sedentary, inactive society with a deteriorated vascular system and consequent decline in physical and mental health. Nearly half of young people ages 12 to 21 do not participate in vigorous physical activity on a regular basis. Fewer than one-in-four children report getting at least half an hour of any type of daily physical activity and do not attend any school physical education classes.

In June 2001, ABC News reported that school children spend 4.8 hours per day on the computer, watching TV, or playing video games. The impact of computers, TV and video games are taking their toll. These sedentary tendencies respresent a real health crisis. Prolonged sitting And, not just for couch-potatoes. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when blood circulation slows, allowing clots to form and then, eventually, break free, causing death. DVT has been nicknamed “economy class syndrome,” because airplane passengers who sit throughout a long flight in the close quarters of economy class have become victims of DVT.

WINTER SIGN ME UP! Walking Benefits Your Brain Walking is especially good for your brain, because it increases blood circulation and the oxygen and glucose that reach your brain. Walking is not strenuous, so your leg muscles don't take up extra oxygen and glucose like they do during other forms of exercise. As you walk, you effectively oxygenate your brain. Maybe this is why walking can "clear your head" and help you to think better.

â&#x20AC;˘ Dancewear and Active wear, all ages â&#x20AC;˘ Shoes for ballroom, ballet, jazz, tap, stage â&#x20AC;˘ Theatrical makeup

Movement and exercise increase breathing and heart rate so that more blood flows to the brain, enhancing energy production and waste removal. Studies show that in response to exercise, cerebral blood vessels can grow, even in middle-aged sedentary animals. Make time this year for a good walk, once a day. It is one of the best fitness plans there is, with little expense attached.

Holidays for Haiti Surrey family brought spirit of Christmas to poverty-stricken children by Hannah Sutherland

when you have a lot of payments to make, it really impaired t (our ability) to move forward with this mission. We will not stop until we probably die or someone else can take over or Haiti’s changed,” Garry said. “We are not the Red Cross, we are not the United Nations, we are not a big company with overhead costs. What we receive, we take to Haiti and provide to the needy people.” The next goal of the society was to bring Christmas to Haiti’s poor streets. Garry left for the country Dec. 21 for an eight-day trip to give out holiday meals and gifts to children. Garry hoped to reach 2,000 kids by driving to various locations and making an announcement over the radio. “If we can go there and give them a meal and give the children something to play with, that will make a big difference,” Ruth said. The society was looking to raise $20,000 for the initiative, and planned to continue the meal component after Christmas. The Zimbabwe Gecko Society – which was founded by a South Surrey resident – donated 150 teddy bears for Garry to take with him. And while Ruth didn’t join her husband on the trip – she doesn’t want to take her children due to the current cholera situation in Haiti – she is lending support with a CD that features a song she recorded for h her mother country, and which is for sale by donation. She hopes the community can also find ways to reach out. “Please, I am calling on everybody just to let them know we are a one nation, we are only one nation. The people in Haiti, they are brothers and sisters. They are dying. We ca can’t be quiet. We need to say something. somethin ”

he Augustes didn’t have any presents under their tree for Christmas. In fact, they didn’t have a tree at all. But unlike some who forgo holiday comforts due to economic circumstances, the Surrey family’s sacrifices were being made by choice. Ruth Auguste said although she and husband Garry were celebrating the season with their three children, it would have been difficult to enjoy holiday luxuries while thinking of people suffering in the couple’s home country. “I always tell (our children) we have two homes,” she said. “Haiti is our first home and Canada is our second home, so when we think about Haiti and the need right now, the suffering, we cannot be happy and having fun.” The Auguste children – who are 16, 13 and 10 years old – offered to donate their presents to the poverty-stricken country, where Garry spent Christmas, handing out meals and gifts to street kids. “People are dying there and kids are suffering, and, once upon a time, I was one of them, so I’m doing everything I can to support them.” Ruth said. “I have been a victim of a lot of things happening over there right now. I know what they’re going through, I know what the kids are feeling.” At 15 years old, Ruth and her three siblings were taken in byy their elderly grandparents after their mother died. Living in poverty, there were times they didn’t eat. “At Christmas there weren’t any presents because they couldn’t dn’t afford to buy us anything,” she said, noting there are children still struggling ggling in Haiti. “It’s a lost childhood and I know what those kids are suffering... I want to be there for them. “I think we have more than three kids now – we have thousands of them.” Donations to the MNS camcam Ruth, who has lived in B.C. for 20 years, and Garry, who paign can be made at any T TD med the joined her in Surrey from Haiti 13 years ago, formed Canada Trust.

Suddenly, there was a greater urgency for their services. “Before the quake, we had kids begging on the streets, kids cleaning windows to feed themselves – we’ve seen those things before the earthquake. We wanted to be the solution to that, but when January came, (there was) not only those kids, you had kids who lost parents,” Garry said. “When Jan. 12 came, we ended up moving toward supporting those victims, and because of the quake, we have way more kids living on the street.” Garry and Ruth – who lost eight family members between them in the disaster – joined forces with other organizations to ship a container to Haiti filled with donated goods, which theyy helped distribute in September. as allowed For Garry, travelling to Haiti three times since the quake has e. him to learn firsthand what Haitians’ most desperate needs are. ts: a Based on those needs, the MNS is focusing on three projects: uction feeding program in the neighbourhood of Bel Air; the construction eogane – of a medical centre in Croix-des-Bouquets; and a facility in Leogane helter, medilocated at the epicenter of the quake – that provides school, shelter, cal attention and a cafeteria for 450 children. “We’re trying to be that person, be that organization, that will be there, tter,” Garry right there for them when they need it, until their lives get better, said. The family has made more than just Christmas-time sacrifices to further the causes. The Augustes downsized from their home in South Surrey to a Newton house less than half the size, and, before moving, raised more than $4,500 in a garage sale last August.

A pet project of resolutions

OUR SECOND OPINION WILL

SAVE YOU $$$ Come in for your FREE Tune-up Inspection, Brake Inspection or Exhaust Inspection

BC SPCA suggests a new year’s focus on animal welfare IS ONE OF your new

year’s resolutions to lose weight? Why not leash up your pooch and take on that challenge together with daily walks and play time? Or maybe you plan to go a little greener in 2011 by making less of an impact on the environment. Pet-friendly propylene-based antifreeze for your vehicle is biodegradable, recyclable and won’t harm pets and wildlife. The BC SPCA offers these additional news year’s resolutions for animal lovers to help make life better for the animals in our communities:

• ID your pet. The SPCA reunites thousands of lost animals with their families every year. However, many are never claimed and must be adopted into new homes because their original guardians could not be found. Ideally, your pets should have ID tags on their collar and either a microchip or tattoo. Visit spca. bc.ca/ID • Help a homeless or wild animal get the care they need. The BC SPCA’s priority funds let you choose which program or service to support. Select from the Heroes Fund to support the work of the cruelty investigations team; the Monty Fund to support

education and advocacy programs; the Biscuit Fund to help pay for veterinary medical care; the October Grey fund to provide daily care in shelters; and the Highest Priority Needs Fund to help injured, homeless and abused animals throughout the province. Visit spca.bc.ca/ support • Join the Pets in the City campaign. Dangerous dogs, chained dogs, puppy mills, stray cats, and feral rabbits . . . these are common issues. Your municipal council has the power to solve these problems through regulatory bylaws. Visit the Pets in the City action centre at spca.bc.ca/petsinthecity

and send your council a message. • Wildlife is often injured as the result of human activity. Properly dispose of items that can potentially harm wild animals, such as household cleaners, plastic bags and cigarette butts. • Volunteer. The BC SPCA relies on nearly 4,000 volunteers and has opportunities to volunteer with and on behalf of the animals. Training is ongoing. Visit spca. bc.ca/volunteer to find a location near you. • Adopt. A dog, cat, rabbit or even a mouse can enrich your life, and theirs, too. Visit spca.bc.ca/adopt • Choose your food wisely.

From Najaf to Karbala Trek across Iraq coming for two Surrey men by Boaz Joseph A CHALLENGING

three-day trek on foot through the Iraqi desert for the benefit of orphans will involve two men from Surrey. Part of a team of four men and two women from Child Aid International (CAI), Nouri Al-Hassani and Michael Symons will walk 90 kilometres from Najaf to Karbala in late January. The northbound walk through central Iraq, south of the capital of Baghdad, will coincide with a trek by millions of pilgrims during a religious festival, allowing the team to blend in and meet with ordinary Iraqis. The goal of the 2011 Walk for Life is to raise $100,000 for CAI, which was founded by Al-Hassani in 2004 to help rebuild the

lives of Iraqi orphans through sponsorship programs. Currently, more than 400 orphans in

Iraq are sponsored by the non-profit society, which is run entirely by volunteers. For more information

HANSEN Robert Peter (Bob) July 5, 1933 - Dec 23, 2010 It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing with his family by his side of Bob Hansen at Langley Memorial Hospital. Bob was born in Vancouver B.C., then at an early age moved to Langley. When he married Jean, they spent the rest of their life in the Cloverdale area raising their family. He is survived by his loving wife Jean who he was married to for 56 years. Beloved father of Robert (Barbara) and Wendy. Dearly loved grandpa of Tina (James), Jennifer (Matt), Derek (Nickie) and Sarah. Great Grandpa of Kayden Jean. Dad, Grandpa and Great Grandpa embraced his family with love and was always there for them. Bob enjoyed the great outdoors by hunting camping and spending many hours fishing or on his boat. Bob’s life began as a mechanic for many years, also he did carpentry and with this skill built many homes. Bob was a volunteer for the Cloverdale Hall 8 Fire Department, then joining the Surrey Fire Department and retiring as a assistant Fire Chief. There will be a gathering of the family & friends at a later date. Donations can be made in Bob Hansen honor to the Vancouver Burn Unit or the Alzheimer’s Society.

42 SEREDIUK, Allan Sept 15, 1935 - Dec 24, 2010 It is with heavy hearts that Allan’s family announces his passing after a short battle with lung cancer. Allan is survived by Lilli his loving wife of 52 years, son Ray (Erin), daughters Arlene, Connie (Joe) and four amazing grandchildren - Ryan, Carley, Dean, and Carson along with many friends and family. Allan survived a brain aneurysm in 1980 and lived over 30 years longer than the doctors predicted. He walked to his own beat and never met a person he didn’t like. He was a kind soul and we will truly miss his love for his family, all his stories and great sense of humor. A memorial service for Allan will be held on Friday, January 7, 2011, 1:00 pm at Southside Community Church - 12642 100th Ave, Surrey. Those who so desire may make a memorial donation in memory of Allan to the Delta Hospice Society - 4635 Clarence Taylor Cres, Ladner, BC, V4K4L8 “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened”
