Akiko Sugawara’s daughter, Anzu, looks out over her grandparent’s field in Sendai, Japan during a recent trip, fascinated by the high-speed passenger (bullet) train in the distance. Sugawara and her two children (below) visited her hometown earlier this month, returning home to South Surrey just four days before the devastating 8.9 magnitude earthquake struck on March 11. Sugawara’s parents survived the initial tremors and tsunami, but she has been unable to contact them for updates since. Sugawara says the bullet train is no longer functioning. by Hannah Sutherland AS AKIKO SUGAWARA watched video footage of a tsunami sweep through farms, roadways and whole villages in her home country of Japan, she felt heartbreak. She thought of all her friends and family in Sendai, the east coast city closest to the earthquake’s epicentre and where she called home for four years while attending college. She thought of her parents, sister and other relatives in nearby Osaki, where the rice-farming family has lived on the same land for 500 years. And she thought of the aquarium located on Sendai’s coast, where hundreds of bodies have since been found. Sugawara, 32, had taken her

two young children to the exhibit during her most recent return trip home, just days before tragedy struck. She had been visiting family in Japan for three weeks with two-year-old Anzu and four-monthold Heiwa before returning home to South Surrey March 6. Four days later, an 8.9-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami struck the country’s northeast coast, killing thousands. “The scary thing is she usually goes there for a month, so she would’ve been potentially leaving the day it happened,” husband Daniel Pape said.

Cabinet: 18 ministers instead of 23

Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary Grade 10 student Vanessa Jakubowski, 15, was among an estimated 150 people at a Sunday rally calling for funding for the construction of more schools in Surrey.

From page 1 Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong stays in cabinet as minister of community, sport and cultural development. Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy, the only MLA to support Clark’s leadership bid, was named minister of social development. Former finance minister Colin Hansen joined the back bench, along with former premier Gordon Campbell. Also left out of Clark’s new cabinet were former ministers Iain Black, Ben Stewart, Margaret MacDiarmid, Murray Coell, Kevin Krueger and Moira Stilwell. Clark said leaving leadership rival Stilwell out of cabinet was one of the difficult choices she made to reduce the size of cabinet. It is down to 18 ministers from 23. Two previous ministries are combined into forests, lands and natural resource operations. Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson runs that, with former forests minister Pat Bell moved to Clark’s most significant new job, a ministry of jobs, tourism and innovation. Shuswap MLA George Abbott stays in education, where he was assigned in Campbell’s last cabinet shuffle. Laurae McNally, chair of the Surrey Board of Education, said she’s pleased he got the education post. “We don’t have to start from scratch,” she said, noting she spoke to Abbott about Surrey’s funding woes during the Liberal leadership campaign. “He knows our situation. We don’t have any time to lose.” McNally said the district hopes to meet with Abbott as soon as possible about the desperate need for more schools in rapidly growing Surrey. “My message to George is: Unlock the door and put out the welcome mat, because we’re coming,” she said. Abbotsford West MLA Mike Stephanie de Jong takes over Cadieux the health ministry, with Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner staying as attorney general. Peace River South MLA Blair Lekstrom, who quit the cabinet and caucus over the HST, was assigned the transportation and infrastructure portfolio. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman takes over energy and mines, taking with him responsibility for housing that he has carried through several ministries. Prince George-Valemount MLA Shirley Bond moves from transportation to public safety and solicitor general. Langley MLA Mary Polak moves from children and family development to aboriginal relations, with Vancouver-False Creek MLA Mary McNeil replacing her in one of the government’s most difficult tasks. First-term MLA Stephanie Cadieux remains in cabinet as minister of community, sport and cultural development.

POLICE BRIEFS

One of B.C.’s ‘most wanted’ nabbed Black Press SURREY RCMP have arrested one of the prov-

ince’s top 10 most wanted suspects. Dean Jeffrey Anderson has been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation by the Surrey RCMP. He’s one of the two people from Surrey on the province’s Top 10 “Most Wanted” list released in February. Anderson had outstanding Surrey warrants for assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and breach of probation, and was considered a dangerous offender. The top 10 list has now been reduced to

seven since the publication of the suspects’ identities. For the full list of the B.C. RCMP’s most wanted, visit http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/bc/ most_wanted-eng.htm. Anyone with information about the remaining people on the list is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Guilty plea in restaurant explosion A SURREY man has pleaded guilty to setting

fire to a Taco Del Mar franchise last year, a blaze that resulted in an explosion at the

Vancouver restaurant. Kamaljeet Singh Josan, in his early 30s, pleaded guilty to arson on Monday morning and will be sentenced June 13, his lawyer Russ Chamberlain said. “He’s agreed to accept full responsibility, to take on the responsibility. He wishes to make amends as best he can for the harm he’s caused to his family and to others and he’s standing up like a man and taking the full responsibility for his own misconduct,” Chamberlain told CBC News. Manjeet Nandha owned the business with her husband. She died in an apparent suicide a few days after the arson.

Bus stop smoking okay – for now

Notice of Traffic Diversion and Delays

But must be more than 7.5 metres from doors/windows

Highway 1/200th Street Interchange, Township of Langley

by Kevin Diakiw THE CITY is backing off its plan to outlaw smoking at bus stops, at least for now. Last month, city staff was preparing to recommend a no-smoking law for all transit stops in the city. Planners have dropped that plan and are going to test a ban at a stop in Clayton, where some families complained the bus stop was

too close to their homes. As first reported in The Leader Feb. 18, Sophia D’Amato complained after the city put a bus stop within five metres of her home. Under the current smoking bylaw, people are not allowed to light up within 7.5 metres (24.6 feet) of any door, window or vent. Fines for a violation range from $100 to $2,000. Surrey’s manager of

transportation Jaime Boan first said he would recommend to council a city-wide ban on smoking at bus stops. On Monday, Boan said the city will step back from the initial recommendation and see how it works at the one bus stop. The city will put up a sign at the bus stop outside D’Amato’s house in the 6700 block 194 Street and respond to calls for violations. That pilot

site will continue for an “indeterminate” period, Boan said. Many bus stops in this city are already within the 7.5 -meter limit, so smoking is already forbidden. The law prohibiting smoking within 7.5 meters of a door, window or vent also applies to people lighting up on their own property or the sidewalk in front of the home. kdiakiw@surreyleader.com

Japan: Fundraiser being planned From page 1 Sugawara – who moved to B.C. from Japan eight years ago – was first alerted minutes after the quake hit by a friend’s phone call Thursday evening. “She thought I was still in Japan and she wanted to let Daniel know what happened in Sendai. She was surprised because I picked up the phone.” Sugawara didn’t initially worry, as earthquakes are common in Japan. She experienced up to three quakes during her last visit alone, and she remembers feeling a six- or seven-magnitude quake a couple of years ago. It was when Sugawara checked the news online that she realized this one was different. “I started to call my parents but the phone didn’t go through. I tried and tried and tried. For six hours, I couldn’t get through.” Pape said those six hours were “hell.” It wasn’t until Sugawara’s sister sent a text message that the couple learned immediate family members were physically unharmed and Sugawara’s parents’ house – although still standing – was “smashed and destroyed” inside. It took another two days before Sugawara reached her parents by phone. Sugawara learned her parents – who live about an hour from Sendai – still had no electricity, water or gas by Sunday. It had been recently snowing, and temperatures were expected to dip below 0 degrees Celsius in the next few days. Sugawara said there were no stores open in the community, and a centre distributing food had hours-long line-ups. Her sister drove hours inland from Miyagi Prefecture to Yamagata Prefecture Sunday for food, gas and water, and was able to get phone reception and call Sugawara. “I heard people are helping each other even though someone’s not organizing the situation. People are just patiently waiting for help and if somebody has extra stuff, people are just sharing.” Sugawara said she doesn’t know what condition her

family’s farm is in. And while her family wasn’t aware of the extent of the tragedy around them, Sugawara said they prefer it that way. “They don’t want to know right now.” Sugawara has a cousin south of Myagi Prefecture who she still hasn’t reached, and she has been looking for missing friends on Google’s people finder. “All I can do is pray,” she said. Sugawara moved to B.C. when she was 24 to experience life in a foreign country for one year. She ended up staying after meeting Daniel and getting a job as a special-needs care worker. Now a stay-at-home mom, she and her family visit Japan once a year and she spoke with her parents daily via Skype. Despite her shock and devastation, Sugawara said she has no doubt Japan – a country that rebuilt itself after the atomic bombings of the Second World War – will also make it through this catastrophe. This week, the country continues to grapple with a nuclear emergency, attempting to cool three nuclear reactors at a quake-damaged power plant. Pape plans to contribute to relief efforts with a fundraiser he is currently planning – a 24-hour relay in which people can skate, run, ride or walk. Details will be posted at www.colaboinnovations. com as they become available. To help support the effort, email customerservice@colabo.ca This Friday, Saturday and Sunday, volunteers with the Tzu Chi Foundation will be accepting donations for relief efforts at T&T Supermarket (10153 King George Blvd. and 15277 100 Ave.) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Donations to the Red Cross can be made by calling 1-800-418-1111, texting the word ASIA to 30333 for a one-time donation of $5, visiting www.redcross.ca or making a cheque payable to Canadian Red Cross, earmarked Japan Earthquake/Asia-Pacific Tsunami and mailed to Canadian Red Cross National Office, 170 Metcalfe Street, suite 300, Ottawa, Ontario, K2P-2P2.

Motorists are advised that traffic at the Highway 1/200th Street Interchange will be delayed due to remedial work required to undertake warranty repairs at the south end of the Highway 1 overpass. Northbound traffic on 200th Street will be temporarily reduced to two lanes and diverted to the southbound lanes. Southbound traffic will also be reduced to two lanes. The traffic diversion will be in place on a 24-hour basis for up to five days. DUE TO A LOCAL SPECIAL EVENT THE REPAIRS HAVE BEEN DELAYED 24 HOURS The repairs are now scheduled as follows: 11 p.m. Saturday, March 19, 2011 to Thursday, March 24, 2011

For the duration of this work motorists are advised to choose an alternate route or allow for additional travel time. Motorists are required by law to obey all construction traffic signs and traffic control personnel.

EARTHQUAKE

Are you prepared?

RAESIDE

A

s the scope of the catastrophe in Japan unfolds, here in B.C. we should pause to reflect upon two things – first, the tragic loss of life to the earthquake and tsunami, and secondly, our own level of preparedness for such a natural disaster. Experts have long been warning that the B.C. coast sits on a major fault line. It is a matter of when, not if, a killer quake hits this area. There are serious lessons to be learned from this most recent crisis. In the days that followed Japan’s quake and tsunami, people were searching for water and food. Clearly, thousands of households – including those that escaped damage – were simply not prepared to handle such an emergency with the most basic supplies and plans. Are we? The answer is, for the majority, no. The ramifications of a major quake will be the same here as they are in Japan. Stores will be damaged, and those that aren’t will be sold out of essential supplies in hours. Transportation will be severely interrupted. Telephone and Internet is likely to be down. So... do you have a survival kit in your home, with all family members familiar with its contents? Do you have a complete first aid kit, and sufficient knowledge to deal with basic trauma? Do you know how to turn off the gas in your home? Do you have alternate shelter in case your home is uninhabitable? Do you have a family plan as to what to do if a quake hits while you’re separated? Do you at least have enough water to last three days, for your entire family? Do you have enough food on hand to last that long, or longer? If you answered no to any of the above, you have a choice. You can become prepared now, or ignore this latest warning – at your peril. – Black Press

his summer, BC Hydro starts installing 1.8 million smart meters to eventually upgrade every electricity customer in the province. This is controversial for several reasons. First, they’re doing it now because former premier Gordon Campbell decreed it must be done by the end of 2012. Second, the smart grid is one of several major BC Hydro projects the government exempted from having to undergo a cost-benefit review by the B.C. Utilities Commission. And, of course, there is the budgeted cost of $930 million, coming at a time when BC Hydro is projecting rate increases approaching 50 per cent over the next five years. When I spoke with BC Hydro smart meter project executive Fiona Taylor last week, she naturally had no comment on the politics. Smart meters are inevitable, she said, since mechanical meters are obsolete and eventually won’t be made any more. Taylor insists the pending rate increases would be even higher without smart meters.

It’s popular among the young, and no less an authority than Lady Gaga is the poster girl to warn against wireless Internet in schools. NDP leadership candidate John Horgan is the party’s ranking power expert. He mainly argues that BC Hydro doesn’t need to spend all this money on smart meters right now. But he is careful not to question the tinfoil hat perspective, and risk alienating the ignorant and superstitious vote. This is a key constituency in parts of B.C.

Tolls: Give Aboriginal commercial fisheries not a right the locals a break RE: “DON’T ignore aboriginal issues,” by Jeff Nagel,

WE HAVE lived with the Port Mann

Bridge near our home for over 16 years. Many Surrey residents are dependent on it for transportation to their daily work as well as for education at SFU and many other things. The proposed tolls for the new bridge will be expensive. For only 20 crossings per week, for 45 weeks a year, at $3 each crossing the total is $2,700. This is equal to the annual property taxes many people pay. The toll is for a bridge that doesn’t open up a new part of the Lower Mainland, such as the Golden Ears Bridge. We are losing a free bridge that has been here for many decades. This is the main bridge into Vancouver from the whole rest of Canada. The proposed toll on the Port Mann has the potential to be a financial hardship for many people who live near the bridge in Surrey. I believe that those who live near the bridge should be spared at least part of the pending toll, because our lives have revolved around this bridge for many years. If I could say one thing to our politicians, it would be to please consider contesting the full toll for residents local to the bridge.

March 4. Land-claim treaty negotiations and settlements with Canada’s aboriginal peoples are a political and moral necessity and responsibility. Having said that, non-aboriginal governments, in their attempt to temporarily appease some aboriginal communities, have succumbed to external and internal pressures to establish permanent, though not constitutionally entrenched, aboriginal-only commercial fisheries. Very few non-aboriginal commercial fishermen are against aboriginal fishermen having access to food and ceremonial salmon fisheries; after all, such fisheries have been around long before nonaboriginal people colonized this land. But such fisheries no longer suffice for the

vast majority of aboriginal bands who utilize the salmon resource: They now want – and have been granted by successive federal governments – aboriginal-only commercial salmon fisheries, wherein they sell their catches to commercial buyers. If pre-colonization aboriginal tribes traded salmon with other tribes, then let them continue trading, for it is their inherent right to do so. However, fish companies were not established in this land until after colonization, and therefore aboriginal communities do not have a moral, legal or constitutional right to aboriginal-only commercial fisheries, which occur to this day. Canada’s highest court has more than once ruled that although aboriginal peoples have an inalienable, first-in-line right to food/ceremonial

fisheries, as they already do, they clearly have no inherent right to sell that fish commercially, and especially en masse. This means that aboriginal communities do not have a constitutional right to aboriginal-only commercial fisheries. Aboriginal fishermen do fish commercially peacefully alongside non-aboriginal fishers during universal salmon-harvesting openings and sell to the same fish buyers. Nonetheless, aboriginal-only commercial fisheries result in resentment and racist sentiment against aboriginal peoples – especially when indebted non-aboriginal fishermen are simultaneously forbidden from making a living in a profession in which they’ve paid heavily for a commercial fishing licence.

Clark makes brilliant cabinet picks CHRISTY CLARK is now premier, and we now know who got the cabinet posts. Picking Liberal leadership contender Kevin Falcon as deputy premier and finance minister is absolutely brilliant on the part of Premier Clark. We right-wingers can relax knowing that the purse strings will not fall into an Ignatiefftype tax-and-spend Liberal, and that the Social Credit, Conservative and Liberal coalition will hold. Most of the rest of the cabinet fell into experienced hands while more women from the back bench are now in the front of the bus, and not under it. Bad news for the NDP. The biggest surprise was that Dr. Stilwell did not get a cabinet post. She dropped out of the leadership race early, due to a lack of support. Maybe premier Clark wants to keep it that way.

What that ‘social activist’ really said RE: “TIME to enrich the poverty debate” (B.C.

Views, March 9). I am always astonished how the quote, “The poor shall always be with us” is used by people who show very little understanding of theology or compassion for the poor. This particular quote was used by Jesus to remind his followers about their priorities. The complete quote is: “The poor you will always have with you, but you will not always have me” (Matthew 26:11). When taken in the context of his ministry, it is clear that what Jesus is pointing to is the

No mercy for the marginalized

fact that as long as there are needy people in this world, his followers must always walk with them and support them in their efforts to sit at the table of plenty. Faith-based social activists like myself would suggest that if the teachings of faith were lived out in the political and community structures that we create, poverty would not exist. But as Tom Fletcher said, for 2,000 years we have been struggling with how to open the hearts and minds of people who look at the world through the lens of scarcity and competition; who believe that the more stuff one has the

IN DIFFICULT, uncertain times, people move to the right politically, economically and socially. People are afraid. They want to secure matters for themselves. Any party that says less tax and less government involvement takes the vote. To even hint that we must honour the values we pay lip service to – for example that people have a right to live, to have adequate food, shelter and clothing – which could mean a very slight hike in taxes, prompts many people to say with anger and

more successful one must be; and whose love of personal comfort and convenience has cost the earth dearly. Poverty is not a simple thing that will be fixed by putting single mothers back to work. It is a complex problem that will need a range of complex solutions. I challenge you to enrich the poverty debate by taking the politics out of this issue and working harder to see the real human beings behind the numbers. Susan Draper, Victoria

passion: Go to hell. They will instead focus on “I, me, and myself.” Whenever the next federal election is, the Conservative party will, as a minimum, have another minority status, but more likely will have a majority. And if that happens, our marginalized folk in Canada will have the economic, social and political boots put to them without mercy. Bruce Holvick, Delta

FRIDAY’S EARTHQUAKE off Japan was a test for

B.C.’s tsunami alert system, with beaches and coastal areas briefly evacuated and on alert for several hours. It was also the latest in a long series of devastating events on both sides of the Pacific Ocean. Geological evidence indicates there have been 13 great earthquakes in the last 6,000 years. One of the biggest in world history was the Cascadia megathrust event on the B.C. coast on Jan. 26, 1700, which sent a huge tsunami with impacts that can still be seen in Japan. Japanese records confirm oral histories of First Nations people on Vancouver Island, which describe multiple landslides, prolonged shaking so violent people couldn’t stand up, and the tsunami’s destruction of the winter village of the Pachena Bay people with no survivors. More recently, there have been four earthquakes of magnitude seven or higher in the past 130 years in southwest B.C. and northern Washington State, according to Natural Resources Canada’s Earth Sciences Centre. Canada’s largest earthquake since 1700 was the

magnitude 8.1 event on the Queen Charlotte Fault on Aug. 22, 1949. It damaged buildings on Haida Gwaii and in Terrace, and was felt as far away as Seattle. The boundary between the Pacific and North American plates runs underwater along the west coast of Haida Gwaii, and is B.C.’s equivalent of the San Andreas Fault in California. Provincial emergency officials advise B.C. residents to prepare for earthquakes and other natural disasters, with information at www.pep. bc.ca. Schools and offices participated in an earthquake exercise in January, focused on taking cover under desks or tables when shaking starts. Do not stand in doorways or attempt to get outside initially, but wait for shaking to subside before evacuating on a pre-planned route. At home, people should assemble an emergency kit with enough non-perishable food and water to last three days. Other items should include prescription medicines, a first aid kit, whistle, a portable radio and flashlight with extra batteries, tools and a waterproof container with matches and money. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Students at Kwantlen Polytechnic University and Douglas College are still waiting for an agreement which would allow them t0 join the U-Pass system and access transit at a reduced rate.

U-Pass haggling strands students Target date now September

by Jeff Nagel A NEGOTIATING DELAY means

students at Douglas College and Kwantlen Polytechnic University will have to wait until September to join the reduced-rate transit U-Pass system. Students at both institutions recently voted to join the program and were promised they’d have their new transit passes for this spring semester. The provincially mandated U-Passes give unlimited transit service for $30 a month to students at campuses that sign on, although Kwantlen students will pay $40 and receive various additional benefits arranged by their student association. But Kwantlen’s spring registration started March 14 and Douglas students register March 21. And the master agreement governing the passes won’t be ready by either of those dates, according to Blaine Jensen, vice-president of education services at Douglas. A final deal with TransLink would have to be vetted by lawyers and the administrators need several days to ensure systems are in place to charge students for the U-Passes when they pay other student fees. “It’s very disappointing that our students won’t have U-Passes this summer,” he said. Jensen cited delays in finalizing the terms of the contract but would not elaborate on the reason. “TransLink and the province are well aware of our concerns and we’re waiting to hear how they will respond.” Vancouver Community College and Emily Carr University of Art and Design had previously signed an interim agreement with TransLink to ensure they’d be part of the U-Pass system for this spring. TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said the same arrangement was offered to Douglas, which has campuses in New Westminster and Coquitlam, and Kwantlen, which serves Surrey, Langley and Richmond. “That was available,” Hardie said.

“It was good enough for VCC and Emily Carr. It should have been good enough for Douglas and Kwantlen.” But Jensen, who heads the coalition of post-secondary schools negotiating with TransLink, said the group had legal advice that warned of potential problems with the interim deal. Both sides say the final agreement was close to being ironed out. But a new hitch recently developed that caused a further delay. Hardie said it was noted that students might have to pay the 12 per cent Harmonized Sales Tax on the U-Passes – even though other fare types aren’t subject to HST – because their schools weren’t agents of TransLink. He said TransLink has agreed to make school administrators TransLink fare dealers for purposes of selling the U-Pass to address the problem. Lawyers are still considering that proposal, he said, but added in the meantime TransLink has offered to accept any risk that the HST is charged on the passes. Kwantlen Student Association spokesman Matt Todd said the HST issue made students even more wary. “The students at Douglas and Kwantlen are being held hostage,” Todd said. “TransLink has been dragging its feet in contract negotiations. We were originally promised we would have these passes in hand in September of 2010.” The issue so far doesn’t affect students at UBC, SFU, Langara College and Capilano University – all of which have existing U-Passes that expire at the end of August, to be replaced by the new provincial U-Pass. But Jensen said the coalition has notified TransLink that a contract must be concluded by mid-April if the provincial U-Pass is to be in effect for the fall semester at Lower Mainland campuses. “Our 11 institutions are united in wanting a fair agreement that provides long-term benefits to students and one that institutions can sustain,” he said. “But we’re not quite there.”

A SURREY MAN who suffered significant injuries last Sunday (March 6) when he was run over in his driveway by a car thief has died. Police announced Friday afternoon that Khammone Phommavong, 60, succumbed to injuries earlier in the day (March 11). Officers with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) have now taken the lead in the investigation, supported by Surrey RCMP’s Serious Crimes Unit. About a dozen officers are working on the file, said Sgt. Peter Thiessen. Phommavong was apparently investigating a suspicious noise around 3:30 a.m. March 6 when he came across the theft in progress, police said. He was struck as the vehicle, an Acura MDX, was driven out of the driveway, located in the 5900 block of 168A Street. Police at the time said Phommavong suffered “substantial, lower-body-crushing” injuries. He was placed in an induced coma. Thiessen said while police feel Phommavong’s death was “directly linked” to his being run down, an autopsy is needed to confirm the suspicion. “We have to ensure there isn’t some other medical factor that we’re not aware of,” he said. Meanwhile, police continue to appeal for information on the person or people responsible for Phommavong’s death. Thiessen would not say if a suspect has been identified. “At this point, we’re not commenting directly whether we have a direct suspect or not, whether we believe it’s one or more,” he said. “Nobody’s been arrested.” Anyone with information may call the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Fraser trial delayed by H1N1

Accused quarantined at North Fraser Pretrial by Sheila Reynolds THE LONG-AWAITED trial of the

man accused of killing Vic Fraser in Surrey 13 years ago has been temporarily adjourned, reportedly due to an outbreak of the H1N1 flu virus at North Fraser Pretrial Centre. Gary Johnston is charged with second-degree murder in Fraser’s death. He pleaded not guilty Monday and his trial was scheduled for five weeks in New Westminster Supreme Court. According to Vic’s sister Jeanie, Johnston is being held at North Fraser Pretrial. When he did not show up for court on Wednesday, she said, it was revealed it was because he was under quarantine. “We can confirm that there is an outbreak,” a spokesperson for the B.C.

A 16-YEAR-OLD from Surrey is facing 19 charges in relation to several prank phone calls that resulted in about $100,000 in damage to North Vancouver businesses last month. The offences took place from Feb. 11-13, when the teen allegedly made calls from an Internet phone to the hotels and restaurants. North Vancouver RCMP were first alerted when an employee at a North Vancouver hotel called for assistance. Later, police believe the same prank caller shifted his attention to fast food restaurants in

the area, including Denny’s, A&W, McDonald’s and Subway. Posing as a fire marshal, the caller convinced restaurant employees to activate sprinklers and foam suppression systems. The McDonald’s Restaurant at Marine Drive and Pemberton Avenue reportedly suffered major water damage. The A&W on Marine Drive, meanwhile, was left with fire retardant foam all over its kitchen equipment. North Vancouver RCMP said calls to hotel rooms were effective, in part, because they are filled with foreign tourists who may be less aware the request

was unusual. The teen, who is known to the police for similar offences, was arrested in Nanaimo on a warrant stemming from an unrelated investigation in Surrey. North Vancouver RCMP are recommending 19 counts of false messages under the Criminal Code that makes it an offence to place phone calls or initiate other communications that create an alarm or nuisance. He will be held at a youth detention centre until he appears in court to answer to the North Vancouver charges. ~with files from Greg Hoekstra

Probe of CT scans hits more hospitals Radiologist also worked in Langley, Fraser Valley by Jeff Nagel A SECOND radiologist

who practised at Fraser Health hospitals – this time at Ridge Meadows Hospital in Maple Ridge – is under investigation for inaccurately reading diagnostic scan results. And because he previously worked in the Fraser Valley, the findings of nearly 2,000 additional scans are being called into question at hospitals in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Langley. “It is entirely possible there are serious conditions that have not been diagnosed,” said Dr. Andrew Webb, Fraser Health’s vice-president of medicine. “We will not know until we complete the review of those scans whether or not that is the case.” The South Africantrained radiologist worked at Ridge Meadows Hospital under a provisional licence from November 2010 until March 4, when a required quarterly review turned up errors in his CT scan interpretations. A total of 407 CT scans read by the doctor at Ridge Meadows are under review and nine out of 197 checked so far have turned up “significant discrepancies” in the interpretations. The reading errors did not result in any of those nine patients being improperly treated, the authority said. “For that 197, they’re all in the clear,” Webb said. A review of the remaining 210 CT scans is underway. And Fraser Health is also now reviewing X-rays and 184 mammograms that were also interpreted by the same radiologist at Ridge Meadows, who is not currently practising while the investigation proceeds. Because the radiologist previously worked from November 2008 to October 2009 in the eastern Fraser Valley, another 1,933 CT scans he interpreted in that period will also be reviewed. They include 1,158 CT scans performed at Abbotsford Regional Hospital, 679 at Chilliwack General Hospital and 96 at Langley Memorial Hospital. As at Ridge Meadows, the radiologist could only read scans with the

oversight of a supervisor and with quarterly reviews of his work. His second quarterly review while based in Abbotsford turned up concerns in 38 of his mammography findings, Webb said. Two “significant discrepancies” then included one missed cancer, although Webb said those patients ultimately got the right treatment. The supervisor refused to continue to oversee the radiologist, Webb said, so he could no longer practise at Abbotsford and headed to Europe. The radiologist got more training while in Ireland and then came back to B.C., this time to Ridge Meadows. But his new supervisor at Ridge Meadows wasn’t told of the problems in Abbotsford or that the supervisor there stopped dealing with the radiologist. “There does seem to be a disconnect of information,” Webb said. “The information in Abbotsford was in Abbotsford. And there was a disconnect between physicians in Abbotsford talking to physicians in Ridge Meadows.” Fraser Health was still operating as 12 independent hospitals in 2009, Webb said, but added a new centralized information system that was set up last summer that should ensure proper information flow. The B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons, which licenses doctors to practise in B.C., was also notified in 2009 of the concerns in Abbotsford at that time. Webb could not say how long it will take to review the more than 1,900 scans performed in 2008 and 2009. “It will take some time to complete,” he said. “I can’t answer how long. It depends on how many radiologists are doing the work.” It’s the second disclosure to rock patients in Fraser Health, after the authority revealed last month it was reviewing scans read by a locum radiologist who worked at Abbotsford and Chilliwack from mid-August to midSeptember last year. Fraser’s CEO initially said cancers may have gone untreated in a few patients scanned at

Abbotsford as a result. The authority now says significant errors were found in 11 patients scanned at Abbotsford out of 170 patients whose scans were reviewed. Webb said it does not appear the errors made any difference in the care patients ultimately received, because doctors rely not just on the results of a scan but a variety of other clinical evidence in diagnosing a patient, although one

case is still under review. Webb called the problems uncovered by the dual investigations a “huge opportunity” to improve practices. He said a system of peer review of images will be introduced for all radiologists so a random sample of each doctor’s work is reviewed by another. Also planned are changes to the way hospitals award privileges for radiologist. Fraser Health says

all patients affected by the medical imaging reviews are being contacted directly, but anyone with questions specific to their case can phone 604-851-4700 ext. 646617. The Ridge Meadows doctor is the fourth radiologist in B.C. whose work has been under investigation in recent weeks. Thousands more scans are being reviewed in Comox, Powell River and Dawson Creek.

The Mustel Group telephone survey found 11 per cent of respondents say they primarily use bottled water, compared to 21 per cent in 2008, while 85 per cent say they mainly use tap water, up from 74 per cent previously. “We actually got a 50 per cent reduction so it was well beyond what we expected,” said Surrey Coun. Marvin Hunt, who sits on Metro’s water committee. The campaign, which used the slogan “Nature’s health drink – always on tap”, raised the hackles of bottled water sellers. But Metro politicians like Hunt maintain the campaign was worthwhile because high rates of bottled water use meant unacceptable numbers of plastic bottles were ending up in the landfill. One report estimated more than 23 million plastic bottles a year weren’t being recycled and were instead ending up in Metro Vancouver landfills – and that even the ones being recycled still carried a heavy carbon footprint. “The issue was reduction of waste and reduction of the creation of the plastics in the first place so those resources can be used for something much more beneficial,” Hunt said. Metro officials were also irked by the growing trend toward bottled water use when they

had just spent $800 million in taxpayers’ dollars on a major upgrade of the water system. The region has always maintained its water supply is among the cleanest and safest

FILE PHOTO / BLACK PRESS

A survey has learned more people are using the tap for drinking water in Metro Vancouver. on the planet. But completion of the new Seymour-Capilano Filtration Plant – at the recommendation of health officers – means water from the North Shore reservoirs that occasionally looked murky is now being filtered, removing an occasional aesthetic objection. Hunt noted it also means less chlorine is added to disinfect the water, which was another objection some had about the taste of tap water. Ninety per cent of those sur-

veyed now agree the tap water quality is excellent or very good – up from 82 per cent before, according to the Metrocommissioned survey. Bottle users cite convenience, taste, health and safety for their choice. Other findings: • 23 per cent drink more tap water than two years ago. • Two-thirds rarely if ever use public drinking fountains, with residents outside the City of Vancouver most likely to have safety or health concerns about them. • 84 per cent now agree bottled water has a negative impact on the environment, compared to 76 per cent previously. The campaign included advertising, social marketing and the launch of an iPhone app to help residents find free locations to refill water bottles with tap water. Several cities pledged to eliminate bottled water sold in their buildings. Metro is also spending $200,000 this year to acquire two water wagons that can be taken to major events as a mobile place where people can refill water bottles. There’s been no talk at Metro of setting a new target to beat bottled water use back further. “We’ve accomplished the basic essence of what we wanted to do,” Hunt said. “We set a trend going in the opposite direction.” Despite the survey results, Nestle Waters Canada claimed a five per cent increase in bottled water sales last year, although it had no data specific to Metro Vancouver. The Canadian Council of Grocery Distributors claims a 10 per cent increase in national bottled water sales, again with no regional breakdown.

may be a thing of the past as Metro Vancouver mulls tighter restrictions to preserve its water supply on hot summer days. Metro is contemplating amendments to its Water Shortage Response Plan that would limit residential lawn sprinkling to just 4 to 9 a.m. in the mornings on three days a week – an increase of one from the current two-day limit during the summer sprinkling restriction period. Currently, lawn sprinkling from June 1 to Sept. 30 is allowed from 4 to 9 a.m. and 7 to 10 p.m. on two permitted days a week. Even-numbered addresses get Wednesdays and Saturdays, while odd addresses can sprinkle Thursdays and Sundays. Under the proposed change, residents would also get to sprinkle on either Saturday or Sunday mornings, giving them an overall 15-hour window each week to green up their lawns.

Fleeing driver stops train in its tracks

TRAIN TRAFFIC was stopped Monday afternoon after someone fleeing police ditched their pick-up truck on the railway tracks in Cloverdale. RCMP in Langley became aware of the vehicle about 1 p.m. It’s not clear whether a chase ensued, but the person in the truck pulled onto the train tracks at 168 Street south of Highway 10 and drove about 200 metres down the track. The truck was abandoned next to a stopped train.

Delta animal shelter to open satellite site Open house March 19 and 20 by Kristine Salzmann THE DELTA Community Animal Shelter (DCAS) will become more accessible starting later this month. This weekend (March 19 and 20) the shelter will host an open house at its new satellite adoption centre in Tsawwassen. The Tilbury-based shelter is hoping to increase its visibility as well as the number of adoptions in the community. “It’s an opportunity for prospective pet parents to meet the cats, rabbits and dogs that are looking for permanent homes,” shelter manager Sarah Lowe said in a media release. The satellite adoption centre will be in the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall mid-March through October, in a space donated by mall owner Century Group. It will feature information about the shelter’s services, responsible pet ownership, bylaws, volunteering, dog licence sales, and behaviour and wildlife management.

The open house, called the Meet Your Match Weekend, will run March 19, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and March 20, 12 noon to 5 p.m. Future open hours will be posted at the centre (1299 56 St.) once they have been scheduled. “The goal for every adoption is to find a loving home for our animals,” Lowe said. In the meantime, the DCAS has also been looking for a new home since learning the South Fraser Perimeter Road, a four-lane highway currently under construction that will connect Deltaport with major highways, will run past their current site at 7450 80 St. “You can pretty much throw a rock at the trucks,” said Lowe. She said high traffic and the noise that accompanies is a major disturbance for the animals. The Corporation of Delta has set aside funding for a new facility in this year’s budget.

Priddy honoured for public work Former politician recognized by Equal Voice for helping women get elected by Kevin Diakiw LONGTIME Surrey politician

Penny Priddy has been honoured by Equal Voice, a national multipartisan organization promoting the election of women to public office. Priddy is the only woman in Canada to hold elected positions federally, provincially, and municipally – both in city hall and school board. Equal Voice celebrated its tenth anniversary last week by honouring Priddy and nine others “who have been pivotal to paving the way for women in politics.”

Priddy, who was in the entire time and had an uncanny ability to bring Ottawa last week to receive the award, said she was enormous funding with her to each of her ministries. humbled. “Promoting the election Priddy took a bow from of women is something that provincial politics in October, 2001, then went on for has been a priority for me throughout my political a term as a Surrey councillor the following year.

East Conservative MP John Cummins is quitting federal politics. According to a statement from Prime Minister Stephen Harper Saturday (March 12), he thanked Cummins and fellow MPs Stockwell Day and Chuck Strahl for their contributions. “I would like to thank Ministers Chuck Strahl and Stockwell Day, as well as Member of Parliament, John Cummins for their extraordinary dedication to public service throughout the years. I look forward to working with them in the best interest of Canada until the end of their mandate,” Harper stated in a news release from the Conservative Party of Canada. “They have served Canadians and their constituents with distinction.” On Thursday (March 10), Cummins told Black Press he had been receiving support to turn his hand to provincial politics in B.C. and take on the role as leader of the B.C. Conservative Party. Delta Board of Education Chair Dale Saip he would be interested in replacing Cummins at the federal level, John Cummins adding he has always enjoyed public service and the federal level is one that has provided the most appeal for him. Saip said Cummins has served the constituency well over the years but that if he ran as a candidate he would bring some fresh ideas to the position and constituency. “I grew up in South Richmond and have lived my entire life in the (Delta-Richmond East) riding, so know the area very well and have a good idea of what goes on there,” Saip said. Delta-South independent MLA Vicki Huntington issued a press release Saturday evening stating she has no intention to replace Cummins. “I will not be running for John’s seat in the next election,” she said. “My commitment is to provincial politics and to representing the riding of Delta South in Victoria.”

Movies in Holland Park DOWNTOWN SURREY BIA WELCOMES NEW BOARD PRESIDENT

Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association’s Movies Under the Stars presented by Prospera Credit Union will take place again this summer at Holland Park.

Each Saturday in August, movies will be shown on the large, three storey blow-up screen. As in previous years, there will be pre-movie entertainment and activities. The North Surrey Lions will be on hand for a barbecue with proceeds going to local charities. This free family activity has grown in popularity since ¿rst introduced to the area in 2005. Close to 9,000 people attended the four movie nights in 2010. Since 2005, movies such as “Shrek 3”, “Wizard of Oz”, “Mamma Mia”, “Annie”, “How to Train Your Dragon”, “Grease”, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs”, “Hannah Montana”, “Nim’s Island” and “Robots” have been shown. This summer, the theme for the movies will be books or true stories that have been made into movies. What movies would you like to see this summer? “Ramona and Beezus”? “Alice in Wonderland”, the original cartoon one from 1951? “Coraline”? “The Spiderwick Chronicles”? “ Secretariat”? “Tangled”? “Gulliver’s Travels”? “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”? “Harry Potter”? Given the number of young families that attend Movies Under the Stars, movies need to be familyfriendly. Movies aren’t able to be shown until it is dark enough so the movie doesn’t usually start until between 8:50-9:15 pm. Therefore, movies that are less than two hours in length are preferred. So have your say … send in your suggestions for this summer’s movies to info@downtownsurreybia.com or contact Tracey at 604.580.2321. Movies Under the Stars could not be presented free without sponsorship from Prospera Credit Union, the Downtown Surrey BIA, the City of Surrey, Bing Thom Architects, Blackwood Partners/Central City, Dundee Realty, The Now Newspaper, Tien Sher Group of Companies/Quattro and SWOOFER.

TFN neighbourhood plan shared with community Proposed housing for more than 4,000 people by Kristine Salzmann THE TSAWWASSEN First

Nation (TFN) hosted an open house March 10, inviting the greater community to see the draft of its new Neighbourhood Plan. The focus of the evening was the mainly residential and community components of TFN’s Land Use Plan, about 270 acres bordered by the industrial area to the north, a mixed-use commercial and business park to the east, the tidal zone to the west, and Highway 17 to the south. The Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Committee, a team of TFN members, staff, elected officials and consultants, has hosted meetings and workshops with TFN families, property owners and out-of-town members to gather feedback, and now wanted to present the plan to the public although wider consultation is not required. TFN elder and committee member Ruth Adams said the open house is to show people they want to be a good neighbours. “I’m always saying being good neighbours

is something you have to work at, and this is our way of working at it,� she said. The draft neighbourhood plan involves developing up to 932 single-family homes on parcels 3,300-sq.-ft. and up, 652 townhomes,

“...being good neighbours is something you have to work at...� Ruth Adams and 280 units in up to five-storey apartment buildings, which would bring in an estimated population of 4,381 to the community.

The plan also includes a Village Centre, which lead consultant Richard Cook with Jorden Cook Associates described as featuring limited by Jeff Nagel TRANSLINK HAS

retail space (about 5,000-square-feet) for a coffee shop, medical office or small grocery store, gathering places for elders and youth, and perhaps a covered and open area for a farmers’ market and artisans. Another goal is to incorporate bicycling and walking routes that would provide a five minute pedestrian loop to at least 90 per cent of residents. As part of the vision when developing the plan, Cook said one word they focused on was “welcoming,� pointing to the Great Blue Heron Way as an example of one way to link TFN with Delta and communities further afield. The plan calls for a trail by that name which hopes are will eventually connect to Tsawwassen, Ladner, the B.C. Ferry Terminal, and beyond to other First Nations on Vancouver Island. “It’s really been quite inspirational,� he said of elder Adams’ idea. Another unique aspect of the plan is the focus on cultural sustainability. “Part of that is about setting aside future spaces where future

things can happen,� said Cook. “One of the things we discussed with the Neighbourhood Plan Advisory Committee was with respect to doing something that worked for not only the past generations and present generations, but also the future generations.� The next step is for the planning team to make final revisions and then present it to the TFN Legislature. “There’s a number of people who are very interested in moving it forward, from the development community and the families who own the land. So we would expect probably there would be some applications fairly soon after the plan is approved by the Legislature,� said Cook. “That would go through a number of engineering and environmental studies, geotechnical studies, but it will be a couple of years before you see the first house, very likely.� Developers that are already working with TFN property owners to manage the sale of their lands include The Aquilini Group and Colliers International.

on residential wood burners, saying they see little justification for the regional district to get involved. Instead, Metro will work with any individual cities that want tougher anti-wood smoke regulations within their own city limits. “Why have a cookiecutter approach to impose regulations where they may not be needed?” asked Port Moody Mayor Joe Trasolini, who chairs the Metro environment and energy committee that debated the issue. “In areas with high density, the issue is more acute,” he said. “In areas where there’s more

sparse density, it’s a little bit of a different issue.” It’s a contentious debate that pits wood burning fans’ right to burn against neighbours’ right to breathe. Metro staff have fielded repeated complaints about smoke from household wood burning, particularly in West Vancouver, Vancouver and Burnaby. But Trasolini said it seems much less a problem in other areas, such as the Fraser Valley and parts of the northeast sector. “Why not give the flexibility to municipalities to have more of a hands-on approach in their own areas?” Metro’s board agreed

in principle two years ago to move to regulate wood burning and regional air quality officials were poised to begin public consultations leading up to the introduction of new regulations. The case for tighter rules centres on the particulate emitted by wood smoke chimneys, blamed for a raft of respiratory and other health disorders. Metro officials now believe residential wood smoke accounts for up to 20 per cent of all fine particulate in the region’s air – twice as much as previously thought. Roughly one third of Metro Vancouver households have a wood-burning fireplace or stove, according to a 2010 survey commissioned by the region, but only twothirds of them are in regular use. Half of users admit they mainly burn wood not for heat but for ambiance, entertainment or convenience, to get rid of flammable garbage. “Most surprisingly, 16 per cent of respondents burn during the spring and summer season,” a staff report said. The same survey found a majority of residents support some residential wood burning restrictions but less than a third back a full ban. A Metro bylaw would not have the power to ban household burning but it likely could have limited how often and at what times it can be done, with temporary bans possible at times of periods of reduced air quality. Cities, on the other hand, could pass bylaws to ban new woodburning units and even require the removal

The committee decision to abandon a new Metro bylaw, which must still be ratified by the full board, dismays air pollution activists. “If Vancouver is going to be the greenest city in the world, there’s no way you can have wood smoke-burning appliances,” said Vancouver anti-smoke campaigner Vicki Morrell. She’s heard from families smoked out by chimney-belching neighbours all over the region – many in very rural areas – some of

requires wood stove and fireplace users to minimize emissions and burn only wood, paper or natural gas. But the region has found those rules almost impossible to enforce. “Inspection of a private residence can only occur with a search warrant or the resident’s permission,” the staff report says. “Proving that a single fireplace or stove is causing pollution as defined in law is difficult.” The province also requires new wood stoves be certified to meet tougher emission standards, which helps with newer units but does nothing to address the problem of old stoves and fireplaces.

You can get lung disease. You can have a heart attack. You can have a stroke. Your sinus problems may be caused because of wood smoke in your area.” Metro has also listed household wood burning as a likely contributing factor behind some past incidents when particulate readings temporarily spiked to high levels.

BRIAN GIEBELHAUS / BLACK PRESS

Surrey Eagles head coach Matt Erhart disputes a ruling from the referee during Sunday’s BCHL playoff game at the South Surrey Arena. The Eagles eliminated the Langley Chiefs Monday night to advance to the Coastal Conference final. Centre was anything but. Eagles sniper Richard Vanderhoek, a Langley native, had both of Surrey’s goals in regulation, the first 8:27 into the first period, and his second on the power play in the second frame. Surrey’s 2-0 lead lasted a little over a minute, when Langley’s Brandon Thompson made it 2-1.

The Chiefs tied the game just a little over a minute into the third, when Brad McBride jammed a puck past St. Laurent. As could be expected from two teams who played the night before, overtime was a sluggish, at times sloppy, affair, filled with plenty of neutral zone turnovers by both squads.

After a scoreless first overtime period, Vanderlugt sent his team home with the victory when he scooped up a rebound at the side of the Langley net – the original shot from the point had clanged off the mask of Chiefs goalie Wyatt Galley – and wired a wrist shot under the crossbar. sports@peacearchnews.com

Crusaders place third Provincials in Kamloops by Rick Kupchuk THREE WINS in four

Inside Track ...with Dan Jukich Dave Hudon was clearly the driving star of last Sunday’s show at Fraser Downs by crossing the ďŹ nish line on four occasions. But being the ďŹ erce competitor that he is, Hudon wasn’t pleased with the afternoon’s overall results. He had to settle for runner-up honours with Boom Shazam in the featured $35,000 Prince Final for three and four-year-old male pacers when Red Star Zoro pushed his winning streak to three in a row. Trained and driven by Serge Masse, Red Star Zoro left his mark with a length and a half victory over a sloppy track in 1:57.2. Boom Shazam closed well but not well enough. Red Star Zoro wasn’t the only pacer to extend a winning streak on the weekend. How about Jemmas Jet, the horse that no one wanted but would now be a welcomed addition to several barns. Owned and trained by Langley’s Randy Webster, Jemmas Jet made it a perfect ďŹ ve-for-ďŹ ve by winning Saturday’s $35,000 Prince Final for three and four-year-old ďŹ llies and mares. Driven by Jim Marino, Jemmas Jet led from gate to wire with the ďŹ nal margin of victory being just under seven lengths in 1:56.2. A smiling Marino said in the winner’s circle: “She’s still learning but she has a lot of talent and Randy (Webster) has done a great job with her.â€? Another attention-getter on Sunday’s card was the ever-popular Mystic Maiden, who went 15-for-17 as a sophomore but was denied trips to the winner’s circle in each of her last two starts. Hudon was at the controls as Mystic Maiden won the $12,500 Fillies and Mares Open, beating With Bells On by a length. As regular readers are quite aware, young Justin Currie trains Mystic Maiden for the partnership of Barry MacFarlane and Crimson Racing Stable. Now the proud owner of 23 wins in 27 career starts, Mystic Maiden has rocketed past the $200,000 mark in lifetime earnings. A ďŹ nal note for those harness racing fans who might have been looking for Ed Hensley’s name in the weekend results, he returned to The Downs after a brief vacation and after being shut out Friday and Saturday, he took Sunday off because of a sore back. Racing resumes at Fraser Downs Friday night at 7:00 p.m. with the regular 1:15 p.m. starts Saturday and Sunday See you there!

games lifted the Holy Cross Crusaders to a third place finish at the B.C. Senior AA girls high school basketball championships in Kamloops last week. The lone loss was a 73-66 loss to the Britannia Bruins in a semifinal contest Friday night. The Crusaders fell behind by 14 points in the third quarter, only to go on a 13-2 run to get to within three. But the Bruins hung on, and held their advantage between five and seven points for much of the final frame. Jeanneine Yngresso led Holy Cross with 19 points, while Tessa Beauchamp added 18 and Michelle Bos netted 16. Holy Cross came back the next night to clinch third place by crushing the Vernon Panthers 76-44. The Crusaders led by 26 points at the half, and were on a 28-0 run before a Panthers free throw ended it.

Beauchamp topped the scoring with 19 points, with Yngresso adding another 17. Jessica Villadiego also scored in double figures with 11. Bos with 18 and Caitlin McNaughton with 13 were the top rebounders for the Crusaders, who collected 71 boards compared to Vernon’s 44. Holy Cross began play with an 81-45 victory over the Windsor Dukes. Yngresso and Villadiego each scored 15 points, with Claudia Garzitto adding 12 and Beauchamp contributing 11. A 78-62 win over Sahali Thursday sent Holy Cross on to the semifinal round. Bos recorded a double double with 16 points and 11 rebounds. Beauchamp was 11-for-18 from the floor, adding another eight points on 14 free-throw attempts in a 30-point outing. Beauchamp earned a selection to the tournament all-star team, with Yngresso named as an honourable mention.

A VERY successful season for the Valley West Hawks came to a sudden end in Prince George last weekend. The B.C. Hockey Major Midget League team lost their best-ofthree semifinal series in straight games to the Cariboo Cougars by scores of 5-3 and 6-3. The Hawks, a team selected from Midgetage players in the Surrey, Cloverdale, Semiahmoo and Langley minor hockey associations, had never made the playoffs in the seven-year history of the league prior to this season. They had no trouble earning one of the six playoff berths this year, placing third in the 11-team league with a 24-8-8 (wonloss-tied) record, just one point behind the Cougars. After the two rivals played to a 1-1 tie after

ILLEGAL DUMPING / ABANDONED WASTE

Illegal dumping is a serious and growing problem in Surrey. Abandoned garbage is not only an eyesore but it impacts our City in many negative ways. Illegally dumped material makes neighbourhoods look filthy and unsanitary and also has serious effects on the environment, wildlife habitat and the ability of others to use and enjoy outdoor recreational areas. Let’s respect each other and dispose of waste properly. To find disposal locations, or report illegal dumping incidents, please visit www.surrey.ca or call Surrey’s Engineering Service Request Line at 604-591-4152.

Another

chance at life

A year ago, George Keulen was running out of time. Only a double lung transplant would save him.

EVAN SEAL / THE LEADER

Delta’s George Keulen got a double lung transplant last June, courtesy of an anonymous donor. As BC Transplant, celebrates its 25th anniversary, just 17 per cent of the population has registered with its Organ Donor Registry. by Boaz Joseph

H

e cooks for his wife Kim, hikes and bikes with her on the Boundary Bay dyke and is starting to get his running legs back. This summer, he’ll be off to college in Vancouver. Talk about a new lease on life. Last spring, George Keulen was nearing the end of his. At age 27, he was spending more days in the hospital than at home, his mucus-filled lungs unable to fight off bacterial infections that were the result of cystic fibrosis. A nebulizer (face mask) fed clouds of antibiotics into his lungs, and he was on 24-hour supplementary oxygen to keep his body functioning. He couldn’t walk more than a few steps – part of deterioration that started in his early 20s. (In his teens, cystic fibrosis, Keulen had George Keulen despite played hockey and ran track-andfield.) The big slide began in the fall of 2006, when his body couldn’t fight a bacterial infection on its own. He met the BC Transplant team the following year to discuss the possibility of a double-lung transplant. “They agreed that it was time to start looking into it,” he recalls. “My health had deteriorated to a point where

“You have to trust that it’s the right thing to do and it’s gonna work out.”

the transplant became the most viable option.” The work-ups began in 2008 – tests of every kind. By the end of that year, he was put on the organ waiting list. There were a number considerations before getting on the list, he explains. “You don’t want to be transplanted too soon, but there’s no knowing how long you will wait for your organ, so you want to make sure you’re still healthy enough when you’re wait-listed that you’re able to survive the amount of time that you have to wait for the transplant.” Keulen knew the risks. “It is still a last-resort treatment. It is a huge deal. It’s not something just jump into and take lightly.” In February 2009, his right lung collapsed twice, and Keulen spent three weeks in the hospital hooked up to chest tubes. After that time, he had no reservations about being on the waiting list. “My lungs were pretty much finished. Things were getting very serious.” The waiting wasn’t easy. Moods wavered with stories of successes, and then dry spells, in the close-knit transplant community. By mid-2010, his doctor gave Keulen four to six months to live, and he was already 18 months on the transplant waiting list. Any further delay would mean he’d be too weak to handle a doublelung transplant.

THE DREAM-LIKE day, Keulen says, was a “beauti-

ful sunny June morning.” At 5 a.m. two nurses burst into his St. Paul’s Hospital room and said that BC Transplant had called – a set of lungs were available. At 7 a.m., he was transported to Vancouver General Hospital. For whatever reasons, surgery was pushed back several times during the day – each time suppressing raised hopes. He had heard before that 30 per cent of transplant calls were false alarms. “It was all so surreal,” he recalls, describing the day’s events as thrilling, exciting and emotional. At 9 p.m., he was ushered into pre-op to say goodbye to Kim and was then wheeled, movielike, through the halls into a hustle-and-bustle room to see the table that he would occupy for the next eight hours. At a point like this, he explains, “you have to let go of all your fears and misgivings and trust that it’s the right thing to do and it’s gonna work out.” ••• IT DID.

Keulen says there are no words to describe how he felt just two weeks after the transplant. He was off the ventilator six hours after the transplant, out of the ICU in 30 hours, and took his first steps down the hallway 30 hours later –

Lungs: Recipient full of Garden Buddies gratitude for donor’s ‘gift’ EARTHWISE SOCIETY invites kids to

From page 31 “which I could barely even do before the transplant.” The recovery was difficult – he was tubed and lined like an octopus for the first several days – but he felt confident about every step. The pretransplant sense of despair when tasked was gone. “Just the hope that transplants give ... the life that you can have afterwards is night and day. Anything that a regular person can do now, I can do.” Keulen, while living as normal life as possible, still faces a lifetime of immunosuppressant drugs to keep his body from rejecting the lungs, and must stay away from people who are sick, since his own immune system is weakened. He was thrilled when a twoweek cold he got last December stayed in his head, something he never experienced before, as colds had always targeted his lungs. The immunosuppression also means that he can’t go back to his old job on the family dairy farm a few blocks away. “Being amongst the animals isn’t a good thing,” he says. Then there’s the W-shaped scar across his chest – he depicts the surgical incision as opening the hood of a car – but he expects it to fade over time. Keulen describes the lungs and the freedom they give him as a “gift” from their anonymous donor. “I wish there was a better way to describe the gratitude,” he says. “It just leaves me so speechless.”

required three days a week for four-hour sessions. Organ transplantation also has a long-term economic benefit in reducing patient care costs. The typical kidney dialysis treatment cost approximately $50,000 per year, while a kidney transplant costs about $20,000, plus about $6,000 a year for the immunosuppressants (antirejection medication).

JUST 17 per cent of British Columbia’s population has registered with BC Transplant’s Organ Donor Registry. On average, with 25,000 deaths occurring in B.C. each year, less than one per cent

of those will happen in a way that enables organ donation. By health region, the number of registered donors are as follows: • Fraser (which includes Surrey and Delta) - 222,162 • Interior - 149,042 • Northern - 47,448 • Vancouver Coastal - 174,515 • Vancouver Island - 169,200 • Unknown - 21,722 The Organ Donor Registry is no longer tied to drivers’ licences, says Lubna Ekramoddoullah, senior public affairs officer at the Provincial Health Services Authority. That sticker system was eliminated 10 years ago. Ekramoddoullah says the public – more than 85 per cent of whom have no objection to donating their organs – still doesn’t know how easy it is to register online. “Maybe, like house insurance, it’s one of those things that people just haven’t gotten around to,” she says. “Take the time to do it. It could save someone’s life when the time comes.” For those with cultural or religious objections, the “Yes, I will” decision can include restrictions to specific organs or the use of them. No organs are “donated to science” through this process. BC Transplant, which works to send its message through South Asian radio stations, also offers Punjabi language registration cards that can be received by calling 604-877-2240. Organ transplantation can be the difference between life and death for some patients. For others it represents a total transformation in their quality of life. For example, for a kidney transplant recipient, it means freedom from kidney dialysis treatment – a treatment that is

tax returns. Each year, through its Community Volunteer Income Tax Program, the CRA links with community organizations to train volunteers to complete basic tax returns. The community organizations hold tax-preparation clinics where the volunteers donate their time to help people with simple-tax filing situations complete their income tax and benefit returns, free of charge. “We encourage people who need help with their tax returns to use the volunteer program,” says Bernard Andersen, CRA’s Regional Community Volunteer Income Tax Program Coordinator. “The service is free and it’s important to file a tax return to make sure you receive all the government benefits and credits you’re entitled to.” Last year, in British Columbia and the Yukon, 2,855 volunteers helped prepare 78,046 income tax returns. Through the dedication of these volunteers, thousands of Canadians understood and met their tax obligations and continued to receive their tax credits and benefits on time. To determine if you are eligible for this service call the CRA toll free at 1-800-959-8281, or visit www.cra.gc.ca/ volunteer, for a complete listing of volunteer tax preparation clinic locations. newsroom@surreyleader.com
