Will it take its toll – or not?

by Sheila Reynolds

THE SURREY School District needs $250 million. Now.

Th at would provide two new high schools, says District Supt. Mike McKay, and four or fi ve new elemen-tary schools.

It would also help reduce the sea of portables sitting at schools such as Hazelgrove and Cambridge elementaries and relieve pressure at some local high schools where simply navigating crowded hallways between classes can be diffi cult.

Instead how-ever, thousands of Surrey’s elementary school kids will continue to learn in portable classrooms and every high school is looking at extending days or expanding online options in order to accommodate more teens.

Police release list of B.C.’s 10 most wantedTwo men are from Surrey

by Kevin Diakiw

TWO OF B.C.’s 10 most wanted are from Surrey.Th e RCMP released a list this week of the top 10 most

wanted suspects in the province.Dean Jeff rey Anderson is wanted by the Surrey RCMP

for assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and breach of probation.

He is well known to police and is considered a violent off ender. He is alleged to have hit someone with a bottle outside a bar in North Surrey.

He is Caucasian, 41, 5’11”, weighing 221 lbs and has brown hair and brown eyes.

He is considered armed and dangerous, and the public is warned not to try to apprehend him.

If you see him, call 911 immediately, or to remain anony-mous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Also making the list is Apollo Alex Verde from Surrey, who is wanted for 32 counts of fraud or fraud-related off ences. He is alleged to have committed extensive credit card fraud as well as obtaining unauthorized access to credit data from one of Canada’s largest credit reporting agencies.

Th e illegally obtained credit information allegedly allowed Verde to access bank accounts and also obtain high value credit cards. Many of these credit cards found their way to Las Vegas area casinos, where large cash advances were obtained.

During this investigation police discovered that Verde had also allegedly been involved in the fraudulent transfer

of land titles. Police say he went so far as to steal the title to a property owned by his own mother and then obtained a mortgage on the property, using those funds to fi nance a Ferrari.

Verde is also wanted for related off ences in Ontario, Alberta, and the United States.

He is described as an Indo-Canadian, 38 years old, 5’8”, weighing 185 lbs with black hair and brown eyes.

He is formerly known as Jaspal Singh Virdi of Surrey. If you see him, call the nearest RCMP detachment, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

“We asked detachments and specialized investigative units across the province for the names of their most wanted suspects,” said Insp. Tim Shields, senior spokesper-son for the RCMP in British Columbia.

“Th ese 10 are the names we got back. Th ey are wanted for violent and serious off ences, and the sooner we can get them off our streets, the better. We also want to send these ten wanted people a message: Th e public are now watching for you as well, and you have nowhere to run and hide.”

In an editorial board meeting with Th e Leader and Peace Arch News Wednesday, McKay, as well as Surrey Board of Education chair Laurae McNally and vice-chair Shawn Wilson, shared the ongoing fi nancial strains and complexities faced by the ever-growing district.

Surrey ushered in more than 800 new students last fall and is expecting another 1,167 or so to arrive this September. Th e city is diff erent than any other in B.C., most areas of which have declining enrolment and are looking to close schools because there aren’t enough students to fi ll them.

“Th e case the board has made relentlessly ... is we need a made-in-Surrey solution,” said McKay

“We do not fi t the mould,” added McNally.Th e opening of Adams Road Elementary in Cloverdale this year repre-

sented the last of the capital money the province approved for the Surrey School District. Th at was back in 2005.

Apart from funding for seismic improvements and dollars targeting full-day kindergarten space, no building money has been sent Surrey’s way for six years.

Even if the $250-million cheque the district fantasizes about was delivered today, it would be 2013 or 2014 before a new school would open here.

In the interim, the district is trying to come up with temporary fi xes that still serve students and parents well.

“If you don’t have control of the purse strings and your enrolment continues to grow, what do you do?” asked McNally.

Time and space, the district decided, are the only variables left to consider.Two secondary schools – Lord Tweedsmuir

and Earl Marriott – have already decided to adopt a version of a fl exible schedule this fall that would see the school day extended to fi ve blocks from four, with students perhaps start-ing earlier or staying later than they do now.

And every other high school in the district is also being asked to assess its needs and explore alternate scheduling options. Some may not need to vary things too much, while other schools may choose to make more signifi cant changes by September.

“It will look diff erent in every secondary school,” said McNally.

During public consultation sessions held last fall, the district heard consistently that residents wanted to ensure their kids can get into their neighbourhood schools, that they can get the courses they want, that choice programs like French immersion have stability and won’t be moved from location to location, and that portables are temporary solutions only.

Th e hope is that making scheduling more fl exible and/or thinking outside the conventional school day might achieve those desired goal – at least tempo-rarily.

Apart from capital funding woes – money that pays for school buildings and other physical space – the district is also facing a $10-million operating budget shortfall. Operating money pays for things such as salaries, programs, supplies, utilities and services that generally keep schools functioning.

“If you don’t have control of the

purse strings and your enrolment

continues to grow, what do you do?”

In general, the provincial fund-ing formula supports districts with declining enrolment, says McKay, and needs to be fi xed to recognize areas like Surrey where student numbers are continually rising.

In addition, continual inequities in Community Link Funding – a grant that pays for things such as meals for low-income students, initiatives at inner-city schools and community schools partnerships that run aft er-school programs – leave Surrey with million of dollars less than other, smaller school districts.

For example, while Vancou-ver receives about $8.7 million annually through Community Link, Surrey gets about $3.7 million. Victoria, with one-third the number of students as Surrey, receives about the same amount as this district.

Th is year, it’s estimated about $400,000 will have to be taken from

Surrey’s general operating budget to supplement the school meal programs.

Th at’s enough money to pay fi ve teachers or several special education assistants, McKay notes, but how do you choose between hiring instructors and feeding hungry children?

“Everyone acknowledges it makes no sense, but no one does anything to

correct it,” says McNally of the skewed Community Link funding.

Th e many portables cur-rently in use here also take a considerable bite out of the school district’s limited operational funds. Th ere are about 230 of the so-called temporary classrooms on local school grounds which cost approximately $120,000 apiece to purchase and install.

Th e provincial government has repeatedly acknowledged it is aware or Surrey’s distinct needs, but has yet to commit to any new funding.

Golden Ears subsidy $33M this yearToll revenues short of costs as driver shun new bridge


$400,000: Being spent on school meal programs

by Jeff Nagel

TRANSLINK IS count-ing on a 26-per-cent jump in the number of motorists who will pay to use the Golden Ears Bridge this year, but the costs of the bridge will continue to far outstrip the tolls coming in.

Even with the rosier traffi c forecast, the trans-portation authority will still pay out $33 million more than it receives in tolls for the Fraser River crossing connecting Surrey and Langley to Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

“We knew for the fi rst

few years we would be subsidizing it,” Trans-Link spokesman Ken Hardie said. “But we are subsidizing it more than expected because traffi c volumes have not increased to the levels we thought they were going to be.”

TransLink’s budget

calls for toll revenue to climb to $37.8 million from $30 million in 2010, the bridge’s fi rst full year of operations.

It gives no rationale for the projected increase when large numbers of motorists continue to refuse to take the tolled crossing.

Even if the number of users rise as fast as hoped, TransLink will remain far short of covering its $71.1 million in costs for 2011 – which consist of a $46.4-million capital payment to the bridge’s private contrac-tor, the $11.9-million operating payment to the contractor and $12.7 mil-lion in debt servicing.

Hardie denied the cur-rent shortfall represents any risk to taxpayers.

Other projects are under budget and TransLink can absorb the extra bridge subsidy until revenues improve, he said.

“We’re not looking at raising fares or taxes or anything else as a result of the Golden Ears Bridge performance,” he said, adding project is only 18 months into a 30-year contract.

“Th e cost of the bridge will over time be covered by tolls.”

Th is year’s shortfall will bring TransLink’s cumulative defi cit on funding the new bridge to $63.8 million for the fi rst three years.

Th e payments to the private partner continue escalating each year until they peak in 2014.

But TransLink expects the revenue picture will change signifi cantly for the Golden Ears Bridge in 2013, when tolls kick in on the new 10-lane Port Mann Bridge and it no longer off ers an easy free alternative.

“People will make their choice of which bridge to use based on the effi ciency of the trip – the time it takes to get where they’re going,” Hardie said.

TransLink also plans a new initiative this year to drum up more Golden Ears users, in part by marketing the time-saving benefi ts to drivers, especially com-mercial truckers, who now detour via the Port Mann to avoid the toll.

About 25,000 vehicles a day cross the Golden Ears Bridge, while fi ve times as many use the Port Mann.

Asked whether changes could include adjustments in the toll charged or the adoption of variable time-of-day tolling to attract more users, Hardie said everything is on the table but added it’s too early to provide details.

Base tolls for regular

cars with transponders now pay $2.80 ($3.35 or $3.95 for those who don’t have transponders or aren’t registered at all) and that is expected to rise for infl ation again this summer.

Unlike other major bridges – including the new Port Mann where the province has opted to borrow the money directly and taxpayers are already shouldering signifi cant costs – a pri-vate partner fi nanced and built the $808-mil-lion Golden Ears Bridgeand will operate and maintain it for 30 years.

Th ere is no federal or provincial money in the bridge, Hardie said.

He also noted the previous costs of operating the former Albion ferries has been used to keep the Golden Ears tolls lower than would otherwise be required.

DESPITE GROWING evidence motorists will drive out of their way to avoid tolls, the provincial government is counting on many more drivers paying to cross the tolled Port Mann Bridge than it currently carries for free.

And if that optimistic forecast fails to materialize, the pricey project may gush red ink for years to come.

Th e new 10-lane bridge is expected to rake in $175 million in tolls in its fi rst full year of operations in 2013, accord-ing to numbers tabled this month with the provincial budget.

Th at’s based on a traffi c forecast of 150,000 daily users paying tolls – 20 per cent more than the 125,000 who crossed for free in 2007 and about seven per cent more than the 140,000 the bridge is expected to carry this year.

But even at that level, the Port Mann Bridge is expected to lose money because toll revenues won’t yet match the province’s annual costs of debt ser-vicing and paying the private operators.

Th e Transportation Investment Corp. – B.C.’s Crown corporation created to oversee the Port Mann/Highway 1 project and ensure the tolls eventually cover the $3.3-billion cost – predicts signifi cant subsidies in the initial years, with the Port Mann starting to break even in 2017.

Th at break-even date, however, depends on the number of daily paying drivers climbing to between 175,000 and 180,000, and tolls exceeding $200 mil-lion. By 2021, the bridge is expected to carry 189,000 vehicles per day.

Th e rosy forecasts are in contrast with the experience so far at the tolled Golden Ears Bridge, where traffi c levels and toll revenues are so far well below what TransLink expected, meaning it will be subsidized longer than planned.

But Transportation Investment Corp. spokesman Max Logan rejects that comparison, noting the Golden Ears created a new link where use is expected to build over time.

“We are looking at a very diff erent profi le of user and profi le of traffi c for the Port Mann Bridge than the Golden Ears Bridge,” he said. “We’re looking at mainly established users on the corridor whom we expect to continue to use the Port Mann.”

Some regular Port Mann users are expected to divert to the Pattullo or Alex Fraser bridges to cross the Fraser River for free, Logan acknowledged.

“But we expect there are other drivers who are using crossings like the Pattullo who will move back to the Port Mann despite the toll due to the fairly dramatic travel time savings they’re going to experience.”

Regular cars will be charged a minimum $3 to cross one-way, provided they use a transponder or pay within two days – otherwise the cost will be $5.15.

Private bidders to build the project conducted their own traffi c volume modelling, which Logan said confi rmed

the province’s traffi c estimates.Th ey have not been revised in light of

the fi nancial downturn or the Golden Ears track record and are based on the Pattullo remaining a free crossing.

Th e provincial government has promised tolls will come off the Port Mann when it’s paid for – at the end of the 35-year contract with the partners that are building, operating and main-taining it.

But if drivers’ response is lukewarm and tolls don’t ultimately cover the costs, Victoria could be forced to either absorb a loss on the bridge on behalf of taxpay-ers or keep tolls in place beyond 2048.

Logan said there is some wriggle room – although he could not say how much – in the estimates to ensure all the costs can be recovered over 35 years with somewhat less than the forecast traffi c volumes.

Surrey trucker Todd Norberg said he and nearly everyone he knows will avoid the tolled Port Mann “like the plague” unless they have no other choice.

“People are going to either transfer their jobs or they’re going to avoid it altogether,” he predicts. “Th e only peo-ple who are going to be crossing it are the wealthy and the impatient drivers.”

Norberg said it’s “absolutely criminal” to toll the main artery into Vancouver, penalizing people whose family or jobs

regularly take them back and forth across the river.

He has his own predic-tion of what will happen when the tolls kick in: huge traffi c jams in Surrey, Delta, New Westminster and Burnaby as commuters head for the free crossings.

Outside experts say the Port Mann growth forecasts look out of step with the experience elsewhere.

Seattle has built toll lanes allowing those who pay to bypass congestion on Highway 167.

But Clark Williams-Derry of the Sightline Institute says the tolls aren’t even coming close to paying for the cost of the electronic toll collec-tion system.

“People aren’t willing to pay for car trips as much as planners thought they would,” he said.

Rising fuel prices and other factors may also mean people opt to drive less than they did before, he added.

Williams-Derry thinks the trend of denser home construction is also creating more walkable urban neigh-bourhoods and less need for residents to drive.

Victoria Transportation Policy Insti-tute founder Todd Litman agrees, not-ing the steady automobile traffi c growth rates planners have assumed would continue indefi nitely have levelled off .

“People are more price-sensitive than what transportation modelers used to think,” Litman said. “Th ey’re more likely to change their behaviour than what people used to think. Th is may result in signifi cantly less toll revenue than what the modelers predict.”

B.C.’ policy allows tolls to be charged only on new or improved infrastructure and only when drivers are able to use a reasonable free alternative.

OPINION

Will Kevin Fal-con be B.C.’s 35th pre-mier and the

fourth one with strong con-nections to Surrey? We’ll know Saturday night.

If he does win, he will be the second premier to represent a Surrey riding. John Oliver, premier from 1918 to 1927, was MLA for Delta, which included all the area from Richmond to Langley. He had lived in Surrey before establishing a successful farm in east Delta. Bill Vander Zalm, a former Surrey mayor, was premier from 1986 to 1991, but represented Richmond in the legislature in those years. He had been MLA for Surrey from 1975 to 1983. Rita Johnston succeeded Vander Zalm as premier for a portion of 1991.She was MLA for Surrey-Newton.

Falcon and his supporters are going all out to get B.C. Liberal party members to vote on Saturday. Th ey have all day (between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m.) and will do so by telephone or computer. Chances are most of the 95,000 or so Liberals will be voting, particularly those who joined the party in recent months.

Falcon spent much of Wednesday meeting with party members in small groups. He also had a large rally on Th ursday at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, in his home constituency, and a large crowd was expected to put the fi nishing touches on the campaign.

Falcon said the leadership race has rejuvenated the Liberal party, not only by attracting new members, but also by the process. Candidates have been meeting with people in all corners of the province and hearing about policy ideas.

And many people have shown a willingness to engage in the process, which is a welcome change from

the disinterest evident in the last provincial election, when just 50 per cent of eligible voters took part.

A group of young profes-sionals in Vancouver staged a leadership debate – and 1,000 people, all in their 20s and 30s, came out. Many young people do want to be part of the political process.

Getting back to Falcon’s roots in Surrey, I believe he could make a diff erence in how this area is perceived, province-wide, should he be successful on Saturday.

Surrey is the fastest-grow-ing area of B.C. Th e need for government services,

particularly in the areas of health and education, far outstrip the resources that are available.

But Surrey people do more than just whine about the challenges they face. Many of

them do something about it. Th at’s why the Sur-rey Memorial Hospital Foundation has kicked off a $10-million campaign to raise funds for the new out-patient and surgery centre at Green Timbers – a cam-paign that began Monday with Jim Pattison writing a $5-million cheque to get the ball rolling. Th e new facility will bear his name, thanks to his generosity.

“It’s time we have a person from the Fraser Val-ley in the premier’s offi ce,” Falcon said Wednesday.

Th ere is no doubt that having a local perspective on the challenges that face Surrey and other parts of the fast-growing Fraser Valley will be of enormous value. Th at decision is now up to B.C. Liberal party members.

We will know how they have made their minds up on Saturday night. Many B.C. Liberals in Surrey, Delta and White Rock will cast their votes for Falcon, and put their hopes on him gaining enough fi rst and second choices to win.

A premier from Surrey?

SCHOOL FUNDING

Please excuse the in-your-face upper-case ty-pography (and seldom-used exclamation point), but in an eff ort to attract your aware-

ness, all stops must be pulled.Because while various education ministers have

been politely listening to the concerns consistently put forward by B.C.’s largest school district over the years, it’s clear Surrey isn’t being heard.

Th is district hasn’t received any capital funding from the provincial government to build new schools since 2005. Th e fruit of that investment – Adams Road Elementary in Cloverdale – just opened in Janu-ary of this year.

But that’s all folks. No more new schools are on the drawing board, even though the district owns at least three pieces of land that would be suitable for that purpose (in the Douglas, Hazel-grove and Sullivan areas).

Th is despite the fact that Surrey is B.C.’s fastest-growing school district, with 800 new students arriving last fall and 1,170 more kids expected next year. Total enrolment will soon top 70,000.

In fact, 41 of the province’s 60 school districts combined have fewer students than Surrey has housed in its 232 por-tables.

“How do you defend that as a government?” won-ders Surrey Board of Education chair Laurae McNally.

Now, trustees know there has been some capital money provided by the province for seismic upgrad-ing and the purchase of modulars for students displaced by all-day kindergarten classes.

But that doesn’t construct new schools.Trustees also know that Surrey’s funding is deter-

mined the same way every other school district’s funding is: by the number of students actually sitting in seats each September – not how many more are projected to arrive.

Th at’s the problem. Th e current one-size-fi ts-all funding formula favours districts with declining enrolment.

As such, Surrey is currently facing a $10-million operating budget shortfall (money that pays for things such as salaries, programs, supplies, utilities and services that keep schools functioning).

And no one, not even the bean-counters in Victoria, can adequately explain the discrepancy in CommunityLINK funding – money used to support at-risk youth in schools.

Vancouver, with a declining enrolment of 52,000 students, receives about $8.7 million annually throughCommunityLINK, while Surrey gets about $3.7 mil-lion. Victoria, with one-third the number of students as this district, also receives about $3.7 million.

Th is unfair situation means Surrey must carve out $400,000 from its oper-ating budget to fund things such as mealprograms and aft er-school activities for low-income and inner-city kids.

District Supt. Mike McKay says we need a “made-in-Surrey” funding solu-tion.

Until then, temporary Band-Aids will have to suffi ce. Th at means even more portables; longer school days; online learning; classes outside of regular school hours; and “hybrid” courses (made up of web-based and face-time instruction).

Th ese are not long-term fi xes. By any study, Surrey’s population – especially its young people – is not going decrease in the foreseeable future.

So how about it, Victoria? Will you fi nally address the status-quo funding model that has Surrey schools bursting at the seams with no relief in sight?

In an editorial board meeting with Th e Leader and its sister paper Th e Peace Arch News on Wednesday, trustees were tight-lipped on who they were hoping would win the Liberal leadership vote – and become the next premier – tomorrow (Saturday).

But McNally was adamant about one thing:“We’re going to be on the doorstep of whoever is in

there.”Surrey is determined to be heard.

WHO’S ON First?I see the old SET gang has re-united. Now

we know who’s on First.Marvin Hunt supports secret deals for

George Bush, overcrowded schools, and $200 million in intentional debt – an all-out free-for-all for those with money to pull the strings.

But enough about SET/First.Th is is why I belong to the Surrey Civic

Coalition. SCC believes Surrey deserves a bal-anced democracy where everyone is included and all neighbourhoods are heard.

We believe that Surrey’s precious green spaces, parks, and agricultural land should be protected for the future, not chopped up and developed by the highest (or lowest) bidder.

We believe that our city council and Board

of Education should work together to build new schools as quickly as possible to erase the embarrassing number of portables which keep families and business from relocating to Surrey.

We believe local government should provide community amenities like safe streets, parkland and that Surrey should plan now for a major new activity centre for concerts, hockey, trade shows and community events in the City Centre area, near transit, before all that precious land is gone.

We believe that development should be sustainable and focused on smart growth within existing town centres that support better public transit.

And we believe more can be done to generate high-quality jobs within Surrey and to support

small businesses here. Surrey can become an international centre for green industry and sustainable growth.

All Surrey needs is the will of the voters.Strong debate depends on people with diff er-

ent points of view. We need choices for the Board of Education

and Surrey council. Our city deserves the best; I believe we need long term planning that ensures the livability of Surrey now and in the future.

Th e SET/First way: “Develop now, plan later” simply isn’t good enough.

Shiny posters, catchy slogans, and former US. presidents do not mean good government. S.urrey deserves open honest and inclusive debate.

Gary T. RobinsonFormer City of Surrey Councillor

SURREY’S BEAR Creek Park is one of the best parks in this city. All the citizens of Surrey, especially people who are living in the neigh-bourhood, are enjoying this park on a daily basis.

Seniors come to spend their free time by sit-ting in the designated areas and enjoying their time with others. People of all age groups go there to relax, some of them go there to enjoy their walk on the beautiful trails and in the garden area, and many people spend their time on the oval track.

For the kids there is a beautiful play area. Every day you can see lots of kids with their

parents; weekends are the most crowded days.All these people go there to enjoy their time

and they want the park nice and clean and for their family to be safe. But as a regular jogger at the park, I noticed some illegal activities. In the evening you can see people smoking marijuana on the trails and in the garden area. Friday and weekend nights you can see people drinking inside their cars.

Also, you can see lots of people not follow-ing the park rules while there are bylaw signs everywhere.

Recently, I noticed lots of people bringing their dogs with them. Most of them are law-

abiding but there are lots of people who never follow the rules. Th ey bring their dogs and let their dogs off the leash. Some dogs like pit bulls are seen roaming around off the leash and it can be very scary for kids and seniors.

Th ere are signs of bylaws but you will rarely see bylaw offi cers patrolling the park. In the past, many bad incidents did happen in this park but I think the city should pay more attention to this park when security issues come up.

Dilbar KangSurrey

WITH REGARD to the Pattullo Bridge replacement or rebuild, I would like to off er this idea as a possible solution.

Th e existing Port Mann Bridge could simply be dismantled and relocated to the north side of the existing railway bridge that is next to the existing Pattullo Bridge.

Large sections of the bridge including roadway could be barged down the river and reposi-tioned on new foundations.

Th is new location would off er better alignment with existing roads and as opposed to alterna-tive ideas, would also signifi cantly reduce disruption to traffi c fl ow during construction.

Th e Port Mann Bridge has fi ve lanes and has already had some seismic upgrading. Any further upgrading could be done at the time of construction.

Th is bridge is scheduled to be dismantled anyway at signifi cant cost, as it will have to be broken down into pieces small enough that can be trucked away.

I’m sure that if the appropriate people were to “do the numbers” on this idea we may fi nd it to be a viable solution that would be far more economical than a new bridge involving tolls and cer-tainly better than refurbishing the existing Pattullo Bridge as it does not have adequate foundations to

support any additional weight to the structure.

It seems unfortunate enough that we should scrap a perfectly

good bridge and build an expen-sive new one that we will have to pay tolls for, but even more unfortunate that we scrap it when

it could be the logical replace-ment for the Pattullo Bridge.

TransLink managers overpaid

Free ride must end

IT’S NOT ONLY time to leave Trans-Link, but to get rid of TransLink and its overpaid management altogether.

My question that has been sub-mitted to both TransLink and the minister of transportation – which both have failed to answer – is as follows:

Why is it that Canada’s largest city, Toronto, can provide public transit made of buses, street cars and subway to fi ve million citizens for half the cost of ours in Metro Vancouver, and under one single administration? Why do we in Metro Vancouver require an admin-istration for TransLink, another for Coast Mountain bus company, same for West Coast Express and the SeaBus and the last the SkyTrain to Richmond?

Does that means the management and CEO’s in the west have less brains capacity to run a public busi-ness than those in Toronto ?

Al Dinis,Delta

I AGREE WITH the comments made by letter writer T. Woodhams,

Its high time the City of Surrey comes to grip with the secondary suite disaster, the ESL disaster, and the city’s inability to enforce bylaws that have been in place for years.

It is time for those who have been getting a free ride on the back of all taxpayers to buck up. It should be the responsibility of those who chose to come to this country to prepare to learn the common language by not having those that do pay for it.

Th e infrastructure in place should be considered on all new developments proposed to ensure that development can be sustained without being a burden on the existing systems.

Millions of taxpayer dollars are being wasted, and millions of dollars of tax that could be col-lected are not.

And it has to stop.

MICHAEL THOMPSON asks seven job seekers a sobering ques-tion: How long do you think an employer looks at each resumé to decide whether it should be kept or tossed?

Th e average time is 10-15 seconds, he tells them.

It’s good reason for them want to make a best impression by taking part in the Guildford Library’s monthly resumé writing workshop.

In three hours, Th ompson (who works for Pacifi c Commu-nity Resources Society, a partner of the library) will show them how (and when) to present cover letters and highlight their experi-ences, skills and attributes.

Th ey’ll learn the diff erences between chronological and hybrid resumés and what separates accomplishments from experiences.

“Right now, you’re marketers,” he tells them. “You’re marketing one of the best products out there – yourself.”

Th e resume writing workshop is part of the Library’s new role in a tough job market.

Once a place to sign out books, the Guildford Library – the largest of Surrey’s eight libraries – is now a computer-equipped hub for job seekers looking to upgrade their computer skills, learn how to apply for jobs, and scroll through online databases and fi nd “hidden” job markets.

Th e last couple of years have been particularly busy for the library, says information services librarian David Kerr.

“We’re fi nding that as well as being a job search place, we’re also a referral to what’s available in the community.”

On top of the resumé writ-ing workshops, the Guildford Library off ers:

• Electronic classrooms for people looking to upgrade their computer skills;

• Career and job search work-shops;

• Information about accessing the “hidden” (not posted) job market – fi nding employers in a

particular fi eld to contact before jobs are posted;

• Links to employment services such as the Whalley Employment Resource Centre;

• NextReads career and job search newsletters;

• Books and videos on careers, job searching and interview tips;

• Information about Lower Mainland job fairs;

• Access to databases such as Reference Canada (linked to 1.5 million Canadian businesses), Job Freeway and CareerAIM, Canada’s largest single source of job postings.

All library services for job seekers are free, though some require a library membership.

Kerr also says the library has resources for those thinking about changing careers and off ers information for skilled immigrants looking to fi nd work in their fi elds.

BACK FROM a trade mission in India, several companies have come back to Surrey with signed agreements.

Mayor Dianne Watts, three councillors, and 32 delegates returned Monday from an 11-day trip, and several com-panies have come home with memorandums of understanding (MOUs) and letters of intention (LOIs).

A few days ago, Surrey signed an MOU with the City of Jaland-har to work on sustainability initiatives and emissions reduc-tions.

BioLytical Laboratories came back to Surrey armed with a deal with a network of eight hospitals in India. BioLytical will provide the network a 60-second blood test for diagnosing Human Immunodefi ciency Virus (HIV).

Simon Fraser University signed an LOI to develop a joint PhD program and an MOU that could lead to an Indian fi rm set-ting up an offi ce in Surrey.

And Surrey-based Wok Box Fresh Asian Kitchens is considering multiple off ers from major Indian companies to take the business country-wide.

In addition, Oxus Nexus, a Surrey-based corporate services company, announced last Friday it secured the fi rst of what it believes will be multiple deals with one of the most powerful Asian organizations in its fi eld.

“Oxus Nexus had short-listed a few companies to target heavily during this trip. Datamatics was right at the top,” Oxus Nexus Managing Director Upkar Tatlay said in a release.

“Essentially, we came to Mumbai seeking a joint venture to secure a partner that could ease our transition into the Indian market for Canadian

biotech advances in medicine and technology. Our fi rst foray into the Indian market was a test product with applications in the defense sector (Armed Forces) as well as in the public sphere. Th is is extremely exciting for my company.”

While there, Tatlay created an education endow-ment for students

enrolled in a government school in Punjab. Th e winner this year is 10-year-old Pooja Maurya.

“Th e Oxus Nexus Endowment for Education was founded on the guiding principle of help-ing underprivileged students achieve their academic and

professional potential through funding, mentoring and guid-ance” said Tatlay.

Th e City of Surrey trip took place Feb. 10–21 and included stops in Mumbai, New Delhi, Bangalore, Chandigarh, Jaland-har, Ludhiana and Amritsar.

“Th e crucial piece is follow-up and execution,” said Mayor Dianne Watts. “Surrey’s eco-nomic development division will now meet with the compa-nies that went and work with them in order to move the deals forward.”

She said the $128,000 the city spent on the trip was a good investment.

“We are positioning Surrey as a leader in trade, jobs and economic development,” Watts said.

Given that one-third of Sur-rey residents are under the age of 18, it’s crucial to build the infrastructure to ensure jobs are there for them when they are ready, she added.

FACIAL RECOGNITION technology is helping ICBC bust identity thieves who try to gain driver’s licences – sometimes to dodge driving bans and in other cases to illegally stay in Canada.

Th e public auto insurer compares a card holder’s image with their existing image on fi le and millions of others in the database.

Th e system analyzes fi xed facial features, such cheekbone size and location and distance between eyes.

More than 600 cases have been sent to ICBC’s fraud investigators since the technology was adopted two years ago.

“Facial recognition technology has taken us to a new level in protecting our customers,” ICBC driver licensing vice-president Fred Hess said.

“We’re now at the forefront of identity protection.”

Th e facial recognition technology last year helped detect Surrey resident Sandeep Dhillon, who applied for a new licence in Richmond under the identity of another man, Jatinder Kumar.

Federal authorities determined Dhillon was an illegal immigrant who had previously been deported for organized crime activity. He was arrested and deported again in December.

Another man in Nanaimo got a bogus licence

in the name of a dead man to dodge his criminal record, parole restrictions and unpaid debt to ICBC. He pleaded guilty in December and was fi ned $5,000. Th at case was fl agged because the same face was found connected to two diff erent licences.

Another case in Kelowna saw a woman caught trying to get a licence in her sister’s name aft er

losing her licence for impaired driving.

Even cases where identities were assumed long ago are now being uncovered.

A Penticton man had for 15 years used the identity of a boy who died at age fi ve in 1969 before the new system detected his fraud, which allowed him to dodge his criminal record and collect welfare while working. He was ordered to pay $13,000 in restitution.

“Facial recognition technology is now enabling security checks that were not previously possible

and helping to uncover fraud that would not have come to light without it,” said Ben Shotton, ICBC’s manager of driver licensing integrity.

“It’s unlikely that any of these charges and convictions would have happened without facial recognition technology.”

ICBC spends $8 million a year on thousands of fraud investigations.

DELTA IS raising a stink over gases being spewed into Ladner from the City of Vancouver-run landfi ll.

Late last year, Delta staff received several com-plaints about bad smells from residents close to the landfi ll.

Landfi lls generate methane, a highly odorous and fl ammable gas which is supposed to be cap-tured by landfi ll operators. Th ey also emit CO2, which is a harmful greenhouse gas.

“Th e estimated landfi ll gas collection rate for 2009 is 41 per cent,” wrote Mike Brotherston, Delta’s Manager of Climate Action and Environ-ment in a report to council Monday. “Th is is well below the City of Vancouver’s estimated recovery effi ciency of 77 per cent and well below Ministry of Environment guidelines.”

Th ose guidelines require a recovery of at least 75 per cent.

Mayor Lois Jackson said Wednesday she was shocked to hear how much of the gas was escaping.

“My concern is the recapture rate is half of what it should be,” Jackson said, adding she’s more concerned about the 360,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases being belched from the landfi ll each year.

“Th at amount of CO2 is equivalent to all the emissions for everything in Delta – all the arenas, all the houses, all the cars, all trucks, everything,” Jackson said.

In a Feb. 2 letter to Delta, Vancouver staff wrote that the amount of waste taken at the site was 32

per cent lower in 2009 than was forecast. Th at fact threw projections off .

A “remediation plan” is under way at the landfi ll to increase the amount of gas captured, Vancouver staff wrote.

Jackson is also troubled by the delay in getting the emis-sion reports from Vancouver.

Prior to Monday, the last report Delta received was for 2008.

Aft er much prodding, Delta received the 2009 fi gures from Vancouver, which indicated the 41-per-cent capture rate.

Jackson said if the news was better in 2010, Vancouver would have already given Delta those numbers too.

Jackson had a scheduled meeting with Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson in the com-ing weeks, and now she says this topic will be top of the

agenda.“We didn’t realize we’d be dealing with that, but

that will be the top of the list,” Jackson said. At that meeting, she said, she’ll be wanting the num-bers for 2010, and “where are we with correcting the issue.”

Do you have a storm drain on or in front of your

property? It is important to keep it clear, especially

during melting conditions. Blocked storm drains

may result in excess accumulation of water along

the road area, a situation that could become

dangerous if it subsequently freezes. It also helps

reduce the potential for flooding of adjacent

properties depending on the extent of the blockage

along with the amount of melting snow and rain fall.

THREE WORLD and three Canadian champions will be returning to the Stetson Bowl this May for the 65th annual Clo-verdale Rodeo and 122st Country Fair.

Four-time world champion bareback rider Bobby Mote of Culver, Oregon will be back in 2011, despite battling injuries last year.

Saddle bronc rider Cody Wright won his

second world champion-ship title in 2010, and ladies barrel racing con-tender, Sherry Cervi, is also returning to Clover-dale this year. She made an impressive comeback in 2010 to claim her third world championship title, aft er championships in 1999 and 1995.

Canadians Dustin Flundra (saddle bronc), Dusty LaValley (bareback), and Rana Koopman (barrel rac-ing) are also returning

to the rodeo.Other confi rmed

competitors are reign-ing Cloverdale Rodeo champion Sami Bessert (barrel racing), and bull riders Wesley Silcox, Douglas Duncan – the 2010 Calgary Stampede champion – and Steve Woolsey, two-time Clo-verdale champion.

Th e top 24 rodeo contestants based on last year’s fi nal world standings are invited to the Cloverdale invita-

tional rodeo.Th is year’s rodeo and

country fair takes place May 20-23 at the Clover-dale Fairgrounds, and off ers one of the richest payouts in the country with $360,000 in prize money.

Two talent pools of competitors compete in four events: bareback, saddle bronc, bull riding and ladies barrel racing, with money awarded in each round.

$124 million a day... and countingKevin Granger-Brown, (right) and David Mycroft from the Canadian Taxpayers Association (CTA) made a stop in Surrey with Canada’s National Debt Clock on

Wednesday. The CTA says the federal government is borrowing $124 million a day, and the provinces are borrowing millions more – all of which will have to be paid back

by current and future taxpayers. The debt clock is travelling 8,900 kilometres across nine provinces to raise awareness of climbing debt levels. For more information visit

RICH COLEMAN and Mary Polak are doing all they can to ensure that Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon wins the B.C. Liberal leadership on Satur-day.

That’s why the two Langley MLAs hosted a breakfast with Falcon on Wednesday morning in Langley City. He spoke to about 30 party mem-bers about the leader-

ship race, his experi-ence in government and his connections to Langley.

Both Coleman and Polak are among the 19 B.C. Liberal MLAs backing Falcon’s cam-paign.

Coleman empha-sized the importance of every vote. While the BC Liberals have adopted a weighted voting system with each constituency having 100 votes, how those votes are dis-

tributed is dependent on members’ voting. They can vote from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sat-urday, either by tele-phone or computer.

“Nobody knows how it will all break down,” Coleman said. “Nobody has ever done it before.”

Coleman’s wife Michelle is setting up and operating a phone bank to remind Fraser Valley Liberals to vote. It is similar to one she has operated during

each provincial elec-tion.

Coleman said the vast majority of B.C. Liberals in his riding of Fort Langley-Aldergrove will likely cast their ballots for Falcon.

Polak recounted how Falcon made sure the 204 Street overpass in Langley City would go ahead. The project, a high priority of city council, was running into some snags that

threatened to shelve it. She asked Falcon, then minister of transpor-tation, to have a quick conversation with her and then-mayor Marlene Grinnell, and within 24 hours, the problems had been resolved.

“It went ahead, and it wouldn’t have other-wise,” she said.

Polak said Falcon was her campaign manager when she was first elected to Surrey school board in 1996, and he brings that type of experi-ence to the premier’s office.

“We are voting for someone who will rebuild the party infrastructure and make sure we’re ready for 2013.”

Falcon emphasized the importance of keeping the party together after the leadership votes have been cast. He said the party is a coalition of people with varying political affiliations federally, but exists to keep the NDP out of power.

“You are the hiring committee,” he told members.

“There are three things to keep in mind as you are hir-ing — who can keep the caucus united and together; who will build the coalition and who will show leader-ship to reconnect with the public and provide good clear sound leadership for the province.”

Falcon said that he is planning to win, but even if he doesn’t, he will run in the next

provincial election and work with the new premier.

He said the fact that he represents Surrey-Cloverdale means he knows the local issues, and pointed to his work on South Fraser Perimeter Road, the Port Mann Bridge project and the nine rail overpasses along the line to Roberts Bank.

“It’s time we have a person from the Fraser Valley in the premier’s office,” Fal-con said.

He has been visiting with Liberals all over the province in recent

weeks. On Tuesday, he spent time in Williams Lake, Vernon and Kel-owna. On Wednesday, he planned to meet with groups of BC

Liberals in the Lower Mainland. A rally is planned at Cloverdale Fair-grounds on Th ursday evening.

He has been particularly impressed by the level of interest

in areas where he didn’t expect it. A group of young professionals in Vancouver staged a leadership debate— and1,000 people, all in their20s and 30s, came out.

ONE MAN is dead and two others, including a Surrey man, are in hos-pital with serious inju-ries following a crash Monday night involving three semi-trailers.

Police say the loaded commercial trucks – one driven by a Surrey man – collided on Highway 1 near Hope around 9:15 p.m., when a southbound 2001 Peterbuilt Super B carrying lumber failed to negotiate a curve, crossed the double-solid centre line and struck a northbound semi head-on. Th e Peterbuilt was being driven by a 30-year-old Abbotsford man; the second semi, a 2001 Volvo tractor, was being driven by a

55-year-old Surrey man.Th e trucks came to

rest blocking the entire roadway. Th e Volvo was then struck broadside by the third semi, which was also headed south with a load of lumber.

Drivers of the fi rst two trucks were taken to Canyon Hospital in Hope with serious injuries. Th e third semi driver, a 43-year-old Abbotsford man, was not injured.

Th e Surrey man’s co-driver, a 50-year-old Calgary man, died at the scene. His name has not been released.

Police believe heavy snowfall and slippery road conditions may have been factors in the crash, however, all three trucks will undergo mechanical inspections.

Highway 1 remained closed in both direc-tions until noon Tuesday.

Anyone who wit-nessed the crash but did not speak with police at the scene is asked to contact Const. Steve Small at 604-702-4039.

Cable barrier saved woman’s life: Police

POLICE ARE crediting a new cable median installed along Highway 99 with saving the life of a Surrey woman Sunday night, aft er she lost control of her SUV and fl ipped it over the barrier.

“It did make a diff er-ence,” said Deas Island RCMP acting Cpl.

Robert Sayer. “Th e cable barrier absorbed enough of the kinetic energy that she was able to stop before actually colliding with another vehicle.”

Th e woman, a Sur-rey resident in her 50s, was southbound on the highway around 7 p.m. Feb. 20 when she was apparently cut off by a Nissan sedan just north of the Burlington Northern overpass. Her Ford crashed into and over the cable barrier, fl ipping “multiple” times, Sayer said..

Sayer said investiga-tion is ongoing, however, speed was a factor in the crash.

Th e woman was released from hospital about four hours aft er the crash with minor injuries.

Deadly highway crashOne killed, two injured in multiple truck collision


A supporter of his insisted on staging a fundraiser in Prince Rupert, which has been an NDP stronghold for most of the past 40 years. Falcon suggested that they do a coff ee shop meeting with interested people, but his supporter insisted on a full-blown

fundraising event, and 250 people showed up.

Number-one fundraiser

KEVIN FALCON took in more than $708,000 in campaign contributions – the highest amount of the four remaining candidates.

Th e Surrey-Cloverdale MLA released his com-plete list of campaign donors Tuesday.

Mike de Jong was fi rst to release his contributor list and $233,450 total, causing other leadership candidates to follow.

Christy Clark raised $519,040, while George Abbot raised $427,842.

Falcon’s list of 332 con-

tributors includes many Surrey-area companies and businesses, includ-ing $40,000 from Keg Restaurants and $25,000 from a fi rm belonging to Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini.

THE TSAWWASSEN First Nation is open for busi-ness.

Th at’s the message TFN Economic Devel-opment Corporation (TEDC) Chief Executive Offi cer Chris Hartman gave guests at a Delta Chamber of Commerce luncheon earlier this month.

Hartman gave listeners an overview of TFN’s land use plan, which sets out the designations for their land which the First Nation gained control of when the treaty came into eff ect in April 2009.

“Th ere’s an awful lot of things that TFN right now is working with in terms of moving this from land and a piece of paper to the best little seaside community in all of Canada,” he said.

Hartman said economic, social, envi-ronmental, and cultural sustainability are at the forefront.

For instance, impor-tant to the TEDC is the creation of sustainable jobs and training opportunities for TFN members.

“So every development project that comes in, we talk money, we talk opportunities.”

For example, the

TEDC is working on a program where TFN’s artisans can have the education and support to also become great businesspeople. It has also started a skills train-ing centre for members so employers can look to TFN for trained workers.

About 335 acres in the land use plan have been set out for industrial development, an area Hartman said is a prime location for on-land activities that support container traffi c given the site’s proximity to Deltaport.

He added TFN was the only First Nation to secure federal govern-ment stimulus funding

from the Canada Economic Action Plan, currently being used to initiate development of the industrial lands.

By spring of this year, he expects the servicing of the fi rst 100 acres of the industrial park to be complete.

Another 175 acres of TFN land is proposed for mixed use of commer-cial, hotel, business park and residential units.

About 175 acres of land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Other parcels on the map are designated commercial enterprise/residential, protected tidal marsh, and a managed forest area.

Hartman said they are letting people know they have a stable and predict-able government and land ownership model that encourages develop-ment, and that as a result of their plans he believes TFN will become a des-tination.

Land ownership on TFN land comes in two forms: Tsawwassen pub-lic lands, and Tsawwas-sen Fee Simple Interest (TFSIs), he explained, where private land own-ers can enter into long- term lease agreements with non-TFN members for up to 99 years.

Hartman said TFN is looking for partnerships that work for both sides.

PORT METRO Vancouver announced it is taking steps to expand Deltaport.

Th e Terminal 2 project, part of the port authority’s Container Capacity Improvement Program, would add three more berths to Roberts Bank, with an expected capacity of two million TEUs (20-foot equivalent units) per year.

Th e project has been in the works for several years, and the port is currently analyzing the site to determine ground condi-tions and suitability for develop-ment.

On Monday (Feb. 14), Delta council adopted a resolution to schedule face time with federal offi cials during the Federation of Canadian Municipalities annual convention in June to discuss issues relating to the proposal.

In the past, council had expressed environmental con-cerns about the $400-million Deltaport Th ird Berth project, which opened in January 2010.

“We haven’t seen the complete buildout and the growth that’s going to come as a result of the third berth and the completion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road,” said Coun. Scott Ham-ilton. “We really don’t know what the impacts are and they’re announcing another terminal.”

Hamilton wondered if Delta has already taken its fair share of port development.

“Are they trying to divert a considerable amount of contain-ers from Vancouver to Roberts Bank in order to free up what is extremely valuable waterfront real estate and use it for some other purpose?” he asked.

Given Delta’s experience with the third berth project, city staff said certain concerns must be addressed to ensure the regulatory review process is done effi ciently and eff ectively.

“Th ere must be assurances that a development on the scale of T2 can be undertaken without adverse environmental impacts, and that the cumulative eff ect of ongoing development in the region is not jeopardizing the marine ecosystem,” said Sean McGill, director of human resources and corporate plan-ning, in a report to council.

McGill said federal regula-tors should be asked to confi rm the project will be assessed by an independent review panel. During construction of berth three, he said there were “issues relating to enforcement of the environmental certifi cate” and a “lack of clarity” regarding the responsibilities of the various stakeholders.

Local citizens group Against Port Expansion (APE) said this week it is opposed to any further container port development on Roberts Bank, worried the industrialization will destroy wetlands, agricultural land and cause pollution.

Th e group says Canada does not need the expanded container port now or in the future.

“With the container volume growth experienced by Port Metro Vancouver in 2010 they only handled about the same volume of containers as in 2007,” stated Roger Emsley, executive director of APE in a letter to council.

“Even if Port Metro Vancouver manages a steady annual growth of say fi ve per cent (which could be lower with possible losses for ships diverting via the Suez and Panama canals straight to East Coast ports), then by the year 2020 Port Metro Vancouver may still handle less than four million TEUs annually,” he added.

But the port authority says container traffi c through Cana-da’s Pacifi c Gateway is expected to double over the next 10 to 15 years, and without substantive improvements a “gap” in capacity could emerge as early as 2017.

“Our mandate and overarch-ing goal is to support growth in Canadian trade,” said Robin Silvester, president and CEO of Port Metro Vancouver. “Roberts Bank is very well positioned to accommodate future trade growth because it’s an established route that off ers excellent access to important Lower Mainland markets as well as North Ameri-can transportation corridors.”

Th e port authority expects

about four million TEUs of addi-tional capacity will be required to meet container demand forecasts in 2030.

Th e Delta Chamber of Com-merce agrees another expansion is necessary.

“Th e weight of the world’s economy has shift ed to the Pacifi c Rim and we’re a major part of that area,” said chamber chair John Appleby. “Our only concern is that the supporting facilities be built with a suffi cient level of effi ciency to allow us to accommodate the increased traffi c.”

He is concerned that South Fraser Perimeter Road is being built too small, and the traffi c lights will cause major road disruptions.

“We want to see overpasses.”Appleby hopes the port

authority will look at additional ways of carrying materials, such as the Fraser River.

“You just can’t build roads big enough, you can’t build railways big enough, you have to use other methods and other techniques.”

An environmental assessment must occur before construction can begin. Port Metro Vancouver will also carry out seven rounds of public consultations over the next six years.

HEALTH INSPECTORS won’t launch any new crackdown of a con-troversial Chilliwack dairy farm while its founder pursues a court challenge that aims to legalize con-sumption of raw milk.

Alice Jongerden appeared in B.C. Supreme Court Feb. 18 to try to overturn a March 2010 court order that barred her from producing and packaging unpasteur-ized dairy products.

Th e court found the previous court action between Jongerden and Fraser Health is concluded and her constitutional chal-lenge should target the provincial government rather than the health authority.

Jongerden’s lawyer, Jason Gratl, has now refi led the challenge against the Attorney General, alleging B.C.’s Public Health Act banning raw milk production as a public health hazard violates her constitutional right to liberty and security of the person and that penalties of up to three years jail and fi nes of $3 million are far too harsh.

Fraser Health spokesman Roy Th orpe-Dorward said the authority will take no further enforce-ment action against the current farm operator until Jongerden’s chal-lenge is ultimately decided in court.

“Th e government’s commitment to back away from aggressive prosecutions is a relief for us,” Jongerden said

in a statement.“We now have some

breathing room while the courts determine whether Canadians have a right to choose between whole and processed foods.”

Jongerden last fall turned over the opera-tion of her dairy farm to an Ontario raw milk advocate in order to avoid contempt-of-court penalties.

She intends to resume operations as a cow-sharing co-op to supply her 450 Lower Mainland members with raw milk if she’s successful

in her challenge.Farm owners can

legally drink the milk of their own cows, so it’s argued a cow share is likewise private con-sumption and not the illegal sale of raw milk to the public.

Th e farm is currently operating as Our Cows and claims to sell milk-based cosmetics not for human consumption.

Advocates claim raw milk is healthier than pasteurized but B.C. chief medical health offi cer Dr. Perry Kend-all has maintained raw milk can be contami-nated with bacteria and

poses a serious danger of illness.

“We’re looking for-ward to cross exami-nation of the chief medical health offi cer of the province, who has been vocal in his condemnation of fresh milk,” Gratl said.

“We look forward to testing the strength of those convictions.”

Gratl said he believes the current freeze on enforcement action goes beyond the Jong-erden farm to other cow-shares and under-the-table raw milk sales elsewhere in B.C.

FRIDAY GAME NIGHT

MONEY BOOTH CASH GRAB

by Rick Kupchuk

HIS NERVES and a diffi cult fi rst opponent kept Cohen Hocking up for most of the night.

But come Wednesday morn-ing, the lack of sleep couldn’t stop the 18-year-old North Delta resident from four consecutive victories, and a gold medal in judo at the Canada Winter Games in Halifax.

“I was pretty nervous, I think I had four hours of sleep max,” said Hocking, minutes after defeat-ing Andrew Yuen of Saskatchewan in the gold medal match of the 60-66 kg. category at St. Mary’s University.

“My draw could have gone either way. In my pool, I was one of two guys who didn’t get a bye through the first round. And I had to fight the top guy from Ontario (Luke Heatherington), and he beat me last month.”

Heatherington couldn’t repeat the feat, as Hocking moved on to the quarterfinal round with a win, and a lot of confidence.

“After I won that first match, I knew it (gold medal) was doable,” he said. “I definitely got less nervous as the day went along. I’ve been doing visualiza-tions the last couple of days. I didn’t look at it as the Canada Winter Games, it was just a bunch of guys wrestling around.”

One hour after defeating Heatherington, Hocking stopped Tait Wiley of Alberta, then minutes later eliminated Marcus Mason of New Brunswick. After a two-hour break, he was back

on the mat, winning his fourth match of the day to earn the top spot on the medal podium.

As to what’s next for the Seaquam Secondary graduate, he said it’s a little early to look ahead.

“It really hasn’t sunk in yet,” he said. “I have to go back to my club in Burnaby, and talk to my coaches. I guess I just want to keep training, and move on to a tournament bigger than this.”

■ South Surrey cross country skiier Mary Benson just missed a medal in two events Tuesday.

Benson, 50, was fifth in the para 2.5 km. standing freestyle in a time of 10:50.90. Erica Noonan of Newfound-land and Labrador placed third in 9:17.20.

She was fourth in the para 100m standing sprint final, after placing third in the qualifying race then winning her semifinal earlier in the day.

She was to compete in the 5 km standing classic yesterday.

■ Snowboarder Shayna Goodwin of Surrey placed 10th in qualifying in the parallel giant slalom event, falling short of qualifying for the quarterfinal round by two positions. Good-win finished her qualifying run in 2.01.93, 3.92 seconds back of Team B.C. teammate Jade Critchlow, who snared the final quarterfinal berth.

■ Vanessa Baxter, a 17-year-old member of the B.C. Aqua-sonics from Surrey, was 10th after the preliminary of the syn-chronized swimming solo event Tuesday evening. The Frank

Hurt Secondary student will compete in the B final tomorrow (Saturday).

A 2010 provincial champion, Baxter will also compete for a

medal in duet with partner Olivia Zawadiuk of Coquitlam. Th e pair placed fi ft h in the preliminary with a score of 75.483, and will contest the fi nal today (Friday).

Baxter, Kelli Gustafsson and Erin Williams are on Team B.C. for the team event. Th e group is fourth aft er the preliminaries Wednesday. Th e fi nal is tomorrow.

True Love and Car Culture This February, two love stories surfaced in various publications, linking Valentine’s Day and modern car culture. The fi rst is local: —the secret to lasting love as revealed by Bob and Zoe Longshaw of Vancouver, married 65 years this spring. The fi rst car Bob drove Zoe in was his 1937 Willys Americar. They were still teenagers then and although the story doesn’t expressly state it, Bob must have been a car nut from the get go. Certainly the Willys Americar to this day is a favourite for hot-rodders. Bob enlisted in the RCAF, trained as an instrument technician, and then after the war as a car mechanic, a trade he practiced for 38 years at the Volkswagen dealership in New Westminster.

The couple married in 1946, had the fi rst of their fi ve sons in 1949, and in 1951, Bob bought Zoe a 1951 Dodge. This was, said Zoe, “the most romantic gesture,” Bob’s idea, and all the more original given how rare it was then for women to drive. The irony of the story is the contrast between their prescriptions for lasting love — “Don’t try to change one another. You’re the way that you are …You have to be tolerant of one another” — and their implicit synchronicity with the fast and ever-changing nature of car culture.

This story prompted a look at predictions about the future of automobile ownership. The 2009 25th edition of the Shell Passenger Car Scenarios, a report based on observed developments of motorized individual transport in Germany since 1958 — Germany having the second highest number of cars per 1,000 inhabitants after the United States — predicts that car ownership by women in Germany will increase “from

today’s level of about 340 to more than 430 cars per 1,000 women in 2030. This means it will reach about 60% of men’s motorization. Car ownership among men will increase slightly from just under 700 per 1,000 today to about 715 in 2030.”

A hood ornament is the subject of the second story. Since 1911, Rolls-Royce cars have been adorned with a nymph-like fi gure in a backward fl owing robe with long wing-like sleeves. She was modeled after Eleanor Velasco Thornton, a young former model who worked for the Automobile Club of Great Britain. In this role she met John Walter Edward Douglas-Scott Montagu, Conservative MP and the owner of the luxury car magazine Car Illustrated.

Mr. Montagu persuaded Ms. Thornton to come and work for the magazine, romance blossomed, and Mr. Montagu was smitten. Unable to marry ‘Thorn’ because of their class difference, he paid tribute by having his friend Charles Robinson Sykes create a sculpture of her to ornament the hood of his Rolls Royce. Rolls Royce then commissioned Mr. Sykes to create a variation, which became the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy. Ms. Thorn sailed to India with Mr. Montagu in 1915, but, when a German U-boat torpedoed their ship near Crete, a wall of water swept her out of Mr. Montagu’s arms. The current Lord Montagu, in a 2008 interview about plans to fi lm the story said, “My father was shattered by Thorn drowning. Theirs was a great love.”

THEY GOT the start they wanted.

But the fi nish was another story.

Th e North Delta Devils jumped to a 3-0 lead 13 minutes into the fi rst game of their best-of-seven quar-terfi nal series with the Richmond Sockeyes. But six minutes later, they trailed 4-3 and went on to lose the Pacifi c International Junior Hockey League contest 8-4 Monday night at the Sungod Arena.

Th e Devils did man-age to tie the game early in the third period when Christo-pher Manhas netted his second goal of the night, but the visitors

were up by two aft er 40 minutes, then tallied twice more in the third

period to close out the scoring.

Julius Ho and Coltyn

Hansen also scored for North Delta. Manhas collected one assist for a three-point game.

Alex Ahnert started in the North Delta goal, but was pulled aft er making 21 of 27 saves as the Sockeyes went up 6-4. Alex Wind took over, stop-ping 11 of 12 shots. Th e eighth Richmond goal was into an empty net.

Th e two teams played game two of their series last night in Richmond, and will be at the Richmond Arena again tonight for the third contest. Game four is tomorrow (Sat-urday) at the Sungod arena at 6:45 p.m.

If necessary, game fi ve is Monday back in Richmond.

EARNING JUST one point from two games against the struggling Kootenay Ice, the Val-ley West Hawks fell out of contention for first place, but still in the hunt for a playoff bye.

Th e Hawks travelled to Castlegar for two games with the Koote-nay Ice, the 10th place team in the 11-team B.C. Hockey Major Midget League (MML), losing 4-3 Saturday night and playing to a

3-3 tie Sunday morning.Valley West fell

behind 2-0 aft er one period of the fi rst game, but came back to take a 3-2 lead by the one-minute mark of the third period on goals by Langley defenceman Jordan Klimek, and Surrey forwards James Neil and Austin Vetterl. For Neil, his tally was a team-high 20th on the season.

Kootenay replied with a tying goal three minutes into the fi nal frame, and the winner with eight minutes to

play.Th e Hawks blew

another two goal lead Sunday morning. Trevor Cox and Scott Cooke, both of Surrey, opened the scoring, with the Ice getting one back before the fi rst intermission. Kootenay drew even aft er 40 minutes, then aft er Kevan Kilistoff of Langley gave the Hawks a 3-2 advantage, the Ice got a tying goal with fi ve minutes left to play.

With one weekend remaining in league

play, Valley West has a one-point lead over the Cariboo Cougars in the race for second place and a fi rst-round bye in the playoff s.

Both teams will be in Abbotsford for games tomorrow and Sunday, as the MML concludes league play with all teams playing in the Fraser Valley city. Th e Hawks will face the seventh-place North Island Silvertips for two games, while the Cougars play twice against the sixth-place Vancouver Chiefs.

WHILE MOST of the other Pre-mier Division teams were partici-pating in Imperial Cup play, the Surrey United Firefi ghters moved a game away from clinching a second consecutive league cham-pionship Saturday aft ernoon at Cloverdale Athletic Park.

United blanked the Punjab Hurricanes 2-0, moving seven points clear of the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Wolves. Surrey has just two games to play, needing to win just once to wrap up fi rst place in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League.

Th e Wolves still have three games remaining, needed to win them all to stay in the race for the top spot.

United got the winning goal just 10 minutes into the contest when Angus Burke tallied his league-leading 17th goals of the

season. Niall Th ompson added a second goal, while Paul Shep-herd made several key saves early in the game on his way to a sixth shutout.

United will play 11th-place Croatia FC in the round of 16 of the imperial Cup tomorrow (Saturday) at 2 p.m. at Clover-dale Athletic Park.

Two other Surrey teams in the Premier Division needed to win a preliminary round game to reach the round of 16 in cup play, including Akal FC, winners of just four of 22 league games and assured of relegation for next season.

Akal upset Columbus FC, currently in fi ft h place in the 14-team Premier Division, by a 1-0 score Sunday night at Newton Athletic Park. Donald Kambere scored against the run of the play in the 60th minute for Akal, while netminder Nuno

Jesus blanked a Columbus team which played with just 10 men for the last 50 minutes of the contest.

Akal faces a tough task tomorrow, playing the Wolves in Coquitlam.

ICST Pegasus easily advanced in cup play, defeating Binger’s Army of Division One by a 5-0 score Saturday at Empire Field in Vancouver.

Azad Palani netted a pair of fi rst half goals for Pegasus, with Sahil Sandhu, Niko Marcina and Barinder Johal scoring in the second half. Palani now has nine goals on the season, tied for seventh in the Premier Divi-sions scoring race.

Fyi-Amar Dhinsa was credited with the shutout for Pegasus, who will face Delta United Sunday at 2 p.m. at John Oliver Field in North Delta in the round of 16.

The countdown continues for what promises to be one of the most entertaining Saturday afternoons of the 2011 standardbred season at Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino.

You know what I’m talking about: the Standardbred Canada Western Regional Driving Championship with Jim Marino, Dave Hudon and Michael Hennessy representing Team BC against drivers from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The top two drivers from Saturday’s eight-race competition advance to the Canadian National Driving Championship in Charlottetown, PEI on May 7.

As Hudon was saying the other day: “Every driver will have a different post position in every race on Saturday and that’s good because having the number eight post is a handicap. I think it will be a fun day. We certainly have a great group of guys competing.”

The Edmonton trio includes Keith Clark, Gerry Hudon (Dave’s younger brother) and Brandon Campbell, none of whom are strangers to Fraser Downs. Glen LeDrew (Saskatchewan) and Dallas McGee (Manitoba) round out the marquee roster of drivers.

All of the drivers have pledged to donate a percentage of their Saturday winnings and Fraser Downs management will match that total number.

The Western Regional drivers are expected to be in the house at The Downs Friday night when the $25,000 Keith Linton Final for 3-year-old BC-bred, sired or owned pacers takes place. The early choice is Boom Shazam, who’s coming off back-to-back wins for trainer Justin Currie.

With all of the activity going on with the Western Regionals on Saturday, don’t forget that there will also be a $15,000 Guaranteed Win 4 sponosred by BCLC on races 6 through 9. And I want to remind you, too, that the annual Harness The Hope extravaganza takes place at Fraser Downs on Friday, March 4. A special $50 Clubhouse buffet includes dining and dancing, a blackjack tournament, silent auction, guest speakers … all this, while watching some exciting live harness racing in support of Breast Cancer Research.

There’s always something special going on at Fraser Downs. See you this weekend!

RAY CARTER has attended plenty of Sport BC awards ceremonies, but the Ladner resident has yet to be in the spotlight.

Until now.Th e longtime base-

ball devotee has been selected to receive the Daryl Th ompson Award at Sport BC’s 45th Annual Athlete of the Year Awards, Feb. 24 at the River Rock Casino Resort.

Th e prestigious award – which has previously gone to the likes of Terry Fox, Rick Hansen and John Furlong – recognizes a British Columbian who has contributed to sport in an extraor-dinary way over an extended period of time.

Carter is being honoured for his 35 years of dedication to developing baseball in Canada at the local, provincial and national level.

“It takes an amazing amount of passion to dedicate the time Ray Carter has to the devel-opment of sport in not only his community, but also his province and country,” said Tim Gayda, president and CEO of Sport BC.

“It is people like Ray upon which amateur sport is built, and we thank him for his con-tinued commitment over the years.”

Carter was “shocked and excited” when he received the news a couple weeks ago.

“I can’t believe that I’m singled out when I know so many other people, not only in

baseball but in other sports, that are so deserving,” he said.

Originally from Vancouver Island, Carter played the sport as a youngster. But it wasn’t until he settled in South Delta in 1975 that he got seriously involved.

A friend asked him to help coach a kids’ team in Tsawwassen – and the rest is history.

Carter went on to become president of the Tsawwassen Amateur Baseball Association, president

of BC Minor Baseball, president of Baseball BC, and vice-president of Baseball Canada.

In 2000, he was

elected president of Baseball Canada – a

position he still holds today.

He was also hon-oured with the Gov-ernor General’s medal for volunteerism in 1993, and in 2006, was inducted into the Delta Sports Hall of Fame.

Th e baseball junkie still makes time to catch a few amateur games in Tsawwassen.

“I quite enjoy going out there, especially to Ray Carter fi eld,” he laughs. Th e Midget baseball diamond was named aft er him in

2009.For Carter, the diffi -

culty of batting, throw-ing and catching sets baseball apart from all other sports.

“It’s a tough game to learn and be accom-plished at,” he said. “Hit the baseball three times out of 10, you’re considered a good hitter.”

During his time with Baseball Canada, Carter has worked with young stars like Justin Morneau, Jason Bay and Adam Loewen who went on to play for Major League Base-ball teams.

But witnessing their success is just a bonus for Carter.

“Seeing kids play the game and enjoy the game, that’s really the big thing that I get out of it.”

His daughter never picked up the sport, but Carter’s four-year-old grandson is excited to join his fi rst team in Surrey this season.

“He’s looking forward to it and his grandpa is looking forward to it.”

It may even inspire Carter to put his coaching hat back on aft er years of working on the administrative side.

“Who knows? Maybe I’ll get back to it.”

AFTER A spectacular season scoring-wise, Surrey Eagles forward Brad McGowan was rewarded for another aspect of his game.

Th e 20-year-old from Langley was named the Coastal Conference winner of the Most Sportsmanlike Player award. Th e Westside Warriors’ Grayson Downing won the award for the Interior Conference.

McGowan, who is in his last season of junior hockey, fi nished third in the B.C. Hockey League (BCHL) scoring race with 36 goals and 53 assists for 89 points.

“He’s done it consis-tently; he hasn’t had that 18-point weekend where he gets named player-of-the week,” said Surrey coach Matt Erhart. “He just quietly puts up one or two points a game and goes

about his business.” McGowan, who put

up 46 points as a rookie last season, is quick to credit the team and coaches for his success.

“I didn’t really expect

to be putting up this many points, but it’s been a bit of luck, and the coach has thrown me out there on the ice a lot, and I’ve just taken advantage of the opportunity.”

He has spent the majority of the season on Surrey’s top line with another Langley

Minor Hockey alum, Richard Vander-hoek. With Vanderhoek a year younger, the pair played together every second year through the Langley Minor Hockey ranks.

“It was peewee where we kind of realized we played well together,” Vanderhoek said. “I always know where he is going to be out there, and he knows where I am.

“We trust each other.”

Vanderhoek was second on the team with 26 goals and 45 points. Th anks in large part to McGowan’s scoring prowess, the Eagles fi nished second in the Coastal Confer-ence.

Th ey will face the Coquitlam Express in a best-of-seven playoff series beginning tonight (Friday). McGowan is off to the Rochester Institute of Technology next season

After coming up short in the BCHL scoring race, Brad McGowan of the Surrey Eagles can take solace in his nomination as the Coastal Conference’s nominee as the Most Sportsmanlike Player.

THIS WEEKEND as West-ern Canada’s top harness racing drivers compete for a spot at the nationals, they’ll also be racing for a very good cause – the Surrey Association for Community Living.

All eight drivers competing in Saturday afternoon’s 2011 West-ern Regional Driving Championship at Fraser Downs are donating a percentage of their racing fees.

Fraser Downs, host of the eight-race competition, says it will match the drivers’ donation.

Hometown heroes Jim Marino, Mike Hennessy and Dave Hudon will be up against Alberta’s Gerry Hudon, Brandon Campbell and Keith Clark, Saskatchewan’s Glen LeDrew and Dal-las McKee of Manitoba at the Feb. 26 champi-onships.

The first race starts at 1:15 p.m.

Top drivers in terms of standings deter-

mined who would be heading to the region-als, which are a pre-cursor to the National Driving Champion-ship competition.

Ken Stratton, new general manager of Fraser Downs, worked with his marketing staff to ensure driv-ers and their families

enjoy their stay over the Feb. 25-26 week-end. Each driver will receive a VIP package and their families will be invited to the Club-house or Homestretch dining areas to watch the live races – plus they’re invited to a post-race dinner cel-ebration on Feb. 26.

The top two West-ern drivers advance the nationals this May at Prince Edward Island’s Red Shores Racetrack.

The 2011 World Driving Champion-ships will be hosted by the U.S. Trotting Association at five different tracks in the New York area July 31 to Aug. 5.

The Surrey Associa-tion for Community Living describes Measuring Up as a collaborative process that engages persons with disabilities, local government, the busi-ness sector and other community leaders to assess and improve local accessibility and inclusion in Surrey.

If you’ve ever set an idea aside only to wonder, ‘What if?’ then you might take new inspiration from Paula Kolins.

Th e Cloverdale author says her new children’s book, Turtle Has 3 Legs, was originally a story she wrote for her son to share

with his kindergarten class at Martha Currie Elementary during show and tell.

He’s 18 now, she says with a laugh, holding a copy of her new book – her fi rst.

“It’s always been in the back of my mind,” she says, explaining friends at the time encouraged her to have it published but she set the notion aside.

Kolins says the rise in bullying awareness and anti-bullying initia-tives like Pink Shirt Day convinced her it was time to pick up her manuscript again.

So she took a local course on how to get published. Her instructor owned a publishing company, so aft er the course wrapped up, she submitted a manuscript for a children’s book for young readers.

“I just thought, you know what? People always say they’re going to do things and they never do, and I just really thought to myself if I don’t do this, I probably never will,” she says. “So, I just went for it.”

To her delight, the story was accepted.Just last week, Turtle Has 3 Legs became available for pre-sale on

Amazon.ca.“I cried when I saw it,” says Kolins, a familiar face to patients of the

Apple Medical Centre, where she works as the offi ce manager.“It’s one of those things, if you don’t try it,” she says, “it will never

be.”She says working with an illustrator on the book’s pictures took

longer than she thought.She wanted the images to be realistic but kid-friendly – not car-

toonish.“So we kind of went back and forth with that.”She may have written the story many years ago, but the creative

memory remains fresh.When her sons were younger, she was “Th at mom!” – the par-

ent who was always volunteering and getting involved at her kids’ school. (She blames it on separation anxiety – hers).

Turtle Has 3 Legs is a story about a “sweet little turtle” who’s diff er-ent because he only has three legs and fi nds acceptance from a bossy beaver, a preening swan and other creatures with classroom alter egos.

Kolins was inspired by one of his classmates, a child with Downs Syndrome.

He wasn’t bullied or teased, but she couldn’t bear to think that might change as he got older.

“He was just a sweetheart,” she says. “Th at just got me thinking.”She hopes the book will remind parents to encourage their chil-

dren to make friends with other children with disabilities or diff er-ences.

“Th at is really the fi rst step, accepting people, and teaching your kids to accept people.”

She aimed the story at young readers, she says, because “I think you have to start early. When your kids are in Grade 6 or 7 and being targeted, it’s not too late, but it’s almost as if you’ve missed a golden opportunity when they were little.”

Now, it’s her job to market the book.She’s going to try to get it into book stores and school libraries, and

will sell it herself at swap meets and other venues.But fi rst she plans to give a copy of the book – which is dedicated

to teachers – to her son’s former kindergarten [email protected]

THE SURREY ARTS CENTRE’S main theatre is going to get a much-anticipated facelift this summer, thanks to community contributions, a just-announced federal grant and matching funds from the City of Surrey.

Surrey-North MP Dona Cadman was on hand at the arts centre Tuesday evening to announce funding of $118,075 will be contributed through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund toward the replacement of the aging theatre seats at the facil-ity in Bear Creek Park.

“Our government is supporting the Surrey Arts Th eatre because we know how essential a vibrant artistic community is to strengthening our identity and our economy,” said Cadman, who attended the event in place of Fleetwood-Port Kells MP Nina Grewal.

Th e seats in the main theatre are more than 27 years old and have long exceeded the manu-facturer’s estimated lifespan of 20 to 25 years. A

year-and-a-half ago the arts centre launched an ambitious campaign to raise funds for the seat replacement and other required theatre improve-ments. About $45,000 has been raised to date through that eff ort.

Th e City of Surrey will match the federal funds, meaning it will only be a matter of months until the renovations can start.

Th e replacement project will begin this summer and is expected to be complete by December. Th e main stage will be closed for about two months while work is done. Th e carpeting will also be replaced and the theatre will be re-painted.

Seats can still be purchased for between $350 and $500 – depending on their location – and sponsors will get a dedication plaque on the arm of a seat that will remain for the lifetime of the seat.

To buy a seat, go to www.arts.surrey.ca and click on the Seat Sponsorship button near the bot-tom of the page, or call 604-501-5566 and press ‘0’ for more information.

FULL & PART-TIMEKINDERGARTEN

by Ursula Maxwell-Lewis

WHEN BOB Mackay retired, he traded draft ing legal briefs for craft ing books. Sol-dier of the Horse, Mackay’s fi rst fi ction novel, arrived on his desk last week.

Th e tale of passion, war, camaraderie, bravery and history takes readers from love and legal wranglings in Manitoba to a young soldier’s Great War survival in France with the famous WWI Canadian cavalry regiment, Lord Strathcona’s Horse.

Based on the life of his dad, Tom Mackay, Bob

not only dedicated years to researching the era, the cavalry and the art of writ-ing, but made a pilgrimage with his wife, Pat, to France in 2008 for the 90th anniver-sary of the Battle of Moreuil Wood, where the Straths and their horses launched one of history’s last great cavalry charges on March 30, 1918.

Weaving emotions gener-ated by wind, rain and memories of scars (physical and emotional) left with his father and those who sur-vived, Mackay ably translates his impressions into a period tale which returns the reader to a by-gone era.

No GPS, digital strategy, or satellite tracking, but simply the shock and awe of men, horses and brutal, unforgiving steel facing ene-mies and natural elements in the name of freedom, king and country.

Mackay, a former rancher, teacher, submariner and lawyer, has plenty of material for his writing career.

As president of the Vancouver branch of the Canadian Authors’ Associa-tion and a long time member of the Rain Writer’s group in Surrey, his advice to new writers is: “Just write. Every day. I must have written

more than 350,000 words which have been condensed into 86,000 words for the novel.”

Beginning with a very rough draft , regular writing kept the fl ow going.

“Th e fun job was revis-ing,” recalls Mackay, who admits seeing the fi rst draft was exciting as was fi nally holding the fi nished work published by Touch Wood Editions, a publishing house focusing on stories about Canada’s West.

Confessing that he may dust off a long buried manu-script involving a lawyer tan-gling with terrorists, Mackay

is content to leave his years of law behind him. Currently on his agenda are draft s of Korean War and submarine stories.

A book launch and signing for Soldier of the Horse will take place at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 6 (Clo-verdale) on Wednesday,

March 2 at 7 p.m. Th e public is welcome

to stop in and chat with Cloverdale’s newest author and retired law-yer Robert Mackay.

TO BE TELE-PRESENT is to be in two spaces at the same time through technological com-munication. Vancouver artist Germaine Koh and Toronto artist Gor-don Hicks are interested in how, in our age of everyday telepresence manifested by constant phone and computer use, relationships between time and space are being altered in signifi cant ways.

Th ere/Here, Koh and Hicks’ current exhibition at the Surrey Art Gallery, presents a compelling work of interactive sculpture that addresses the infl u-ence of technology on our daily lives.

Join Koh for a discus-sion about the exhibi-tion and her collabora-tion with Gordon Hicks on March 3, 7:30 p.m. at the gallery, 13750 88 Ave. Admission is free. Phone 604-501-5566 for more information.

SEMIAHMOO Arts (formerly the Com-munity Arts Council of White Rock and District) has issued a call for artists for exhibitions to fill out its 2011 schedule at its gallery at Windsor Square (1959 152 St.).

The organization has announced a preference for group shows – ranging from self-assembled groups of three or more art-ists whose work shares a common theme to established groups and guilds.

However, Semiah-moo Arts president Barbara Cooper and manager Patrick Reynolds confirm that applicants must all be members of Semi-ahmoo Arts – which means they must each have paid the $20 annual membership fee before applying.

“It’s not a very large amount considering what Semiahmoo Arts provides,” Cooper said.

Artists should also note that, according to the exhibition applica-tion, the gallery takes a commission of 33.3 per cent on all sales.

Five spaces are currently unfilled for 2011; June, July, August, October and November. Applica-tions are also encour-aged to include artists who work in both two and three dimensions (such as sculptures and installations). Deadline for submis-sions is Thursday, March 3, before gallery closing. Late applications will not be considered.

Artists will be noti-fied of the selection committee’s decision by Friday, March 11.

Similar conditions apply to another show planned by Semiah-moo Arts, Outside The Box Fibre Festival, an exhibition of textile art scheduled for the gallery for September.

The call is open to any artists working with fibre, and, as the title suggests, is not necessarily limited to traditional definitions of textile art.

Artists are encour-aged to consider unusual materials, like metal, wood, paper and glass, as well as conventional natural and synthetic fibres such as wool, silk, cot-ton and polyester.

Two-dimensional hanging artwork, as well as three-dimen-sional pieces, will be considered.

Deadline for sub-missions for Outside The Box is Wednes-day, June 15, before gallery closing.

For more informa-tion and application requirements, visit www.semiahmooarts.com or call 604-536-8333.

Another opportu-nity for local artists to display their work is White Rock Com-munity Centre’s Art On Display program at Miramar Village in uptown White Rock.

The upcoming exhibit, Marine, seeks works relating to the seashore, ranging from “beaches, the sea, pad-dlers, sailors to fish and chip stands.”

Entry deadline is Monday, March 7, 4 p.m.

The Art On Display application can be found online at www.semiahmooarts.com. or can be picked up from the community centre at 15154 Russell Ave.

by Alex Browne

IN EARTH and Sky, White Rock Play-ers’ current mystery thriller (Coast Capital Playhouse, until Feb. 26), Lori Tych plays an emotionally charged central role.

A poet and part-time librarian, Sara McKeon fi nds herself in a night-marish situation when her lover, restaurant owner David (Jason Dedrick) is found shot to death.

Just as shocking are allegations that the man she thought she knew had an unsavoury past that may have included kidnapping, rape and murder.

Her interaction with the offi cers investigat-ing the case, intense ‘alpha male’ Det. H.E. Weber and the more easy-going Sgt. Al Kersnowski, convince her that her only option is to investigate the murder herself.

Along the way she

enlists the help of friends to navigate an urban maze populated with characters whose motives are in question, including Carl Eisen-stadt, Marie Defaria and Julius Gatz.

Th e mystery is also relatively unexplored territory for Tych, who acknowledges “this is the most straight character I’ve played – I can’t go to my comedic default setting.”

While she’s always been featured more

in character roles, she confesses that playing a plum role that has her on stage for most of the show’s 28 scenes – and a romantic lead in the bargain – has whetted her appetite for more.

She says she can iden-tify with her character’s belief that materialism and possessions don’t add up to a good or happy existence.

“Sara’s a minimalist in many ways – and I’m a little that way, too. I live a very simple life.”

Tych, who also actively pursues televi-sion and fi lm parts,

hurled herself back into stage acting several years ago as a coun-terbalance to her busy career in the restaurant business – patrons of the local scene may recognize her from such venues as Beecher Street Cafe and Cielo’s.

Mostly known for comedy, she’s acquired a reputation as something of a chameleon for tak-ing on a wide range of characters in such plays as Th e Passion Of Drac-ula, Dearly Departed and Twentieth Century.

“In Passion of Dracula I was Wil-helmina Murray, a take off – with many liberties – of Dracula’s eternal love,” she said. “In Dearly Departed, I played trailer park trash – a mother of three who aspires to be a singer – a busy-body drama queen in cowboy boots. In Twentieth Century, I

was this outrageously lovely diva – part Carol Burnett and part Gloria Swanson – that was just exhilarating.”

Tych, who grew up on an acreage outside of Edmonton, said acting is something she origi-nally “fell into.”

“I didn’t pursue it in high school or univer-sity,” she said. “I was working as a bartender at a hotel in Edmonton where they had a dinner theatre. I’d been doing some singing, so when I was off ered some roles, it seemed like an opportunity to learn my craft .”

It soon became a pas-sion for her, which she fueled by working with a small independent theatre company, Cel-ebration, based in Win-nipeg, and also Th eatre Prospero, which toured Shakespeare plays to high schools.

A community boost or threeVANCITY HAS GIVEN boosts of up to $10,000 to each of three Surrey groups as part of their community project grants program.

Th e recipients are:•ACORN, for their Canada Green Connects program

which aims to provide energy-saving training for low-income families in North Surrey;

•Children’s Arts Umbrella Association’s Art Start for Par-ents program; and

•Ducks Unlimited Canada Project Webfoot Lower Main-land Fall 2010.

A painless collaborationSURREY PAIN and Wellness Clinic has been providing a free consultation for all new patients for a donation to the Surrey Food Bank.

“New patients are invited to make a donation to the Sur-rey Food Bank in exchange for their fi rst consultation as part of the clinic’s Healthier Together campaign,” said Dr. Manjit Sadhra.

As well, “We don’t charge a user fee for those low income people who are on the supplementary health benefi ts program. Th ose folks who are accessing services at the food bank likely cannot aff ord to pay a premium, so we want to do what we can there as well.”

People can also choose to support KidSport or their high school dry grad fund.

“Th e outpouring of support by people during the holiday season is terrifi c, but we are especially grateful for those folks that continue to raise funds and contribute food year round,” says Tiff any Parton, director of development for the Surrey Food Bank.

New faces on SMH boardSURREY MEMORIAL Hospital Foundation has some new faces on its board.

Ron Knight is the new board chair while Kulwinder Sanghera becomes vice-chair and Tracy Redies joins the board as director.

Other board members include Jane Adams, Ralph Berezan, Dr. James Bond, M.S. Dhaliwal, Jake Friesen, Sherrold Haddad, Bruce Hayne, Leanne Heppell, Chuck Keeling, David Keyworth, Fraser MacRae, Mary Martin, Chris Midmore,

Larry Th omas and Jacy Wingson. Third-year Kwantlen Polytechnic University student Earl Mabaquaio’s passion for fashion awarded him Canada’s Breakthrough Designer during Montreal Fashion Week on Feb. 10.

Th e 2011 TÉLIO Design Competition brought together fashion design schools from across Canada and challenged aspiring designers to compete for one of fi ve scholarships totalling $10,000.

Mabaquaio’s design demonstrated outstand-ing creativity, the best technical skills and respect of the theme.

For the last fi ve years, Quebec-based textile company TÉLIO has been a supporter of the growth and development of Canadian designers and their annual design competition is always a signifi cant event in the fashion industry.

Th is year, design students were asked to create a garment based on the theme “Great Canadian North” – the win went to the student who most successfully applied the theme to a fall/winter garment designed for the sophisticated, avant-garde woman.

Th e aspiring designers were asked to design a unique and

authentic creation that would identify their garment as the new “must have” item for a high-end retail company while using intricate techniques to incorporate art in fashion.

“I’m very proud to represent Vancouver and show the rest of Canada what we are all about,” said Mabaquaio. “Fashion

design must always be innovative and balance creativity, technical skills and overall under-standing of the fashion business. I see a bright future in Canadian fashion.”

Mabaquaio and fellow Kwantlen students Laura Nickel and Kristin Yip were among the 25 fi nalists who competed for the title of “Canada’s Breakthrough Designer”.

Th e only program of its kind in Western Canada, Kwantlen’s Bachelor of Design, Fashion and Technology program prepares students for careers in the global apparel economy in fashion design, production, marketing, and computer technology.

Th e program features comprehensive indus-try-based education and training using leading-edge technology and extensive internships that

result in employment. For more information about the fashion program, visit kwantlen.ca/design

New research to guide emergencies, meld music at SFUSEVEN SIMON Fraser University researchers will share more than $2.7 million in new funding to sup-port research rang-ing from enhancing emergency manage-ment and response measures to study-ing the integration of acoustic and virtual musical instruments.

Th e funds are part of a national strategic proj-ect grant announcement made today by the Natural Sciences and Engineer-ing Research Council

(NSERC):• Brian Fisher, a professor at SFU

Surrey’s School for Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT) will use a grant of more than $450,000 to apply visual analytic approaches to emergency management and preparedness. Visual analytics com-

bines the science of analytical reasoning with mathematical

deduction to derive patterns, knowledge and insight.

“Th is will enable us to support the analysis and evaluation of risk and vulnerability, includ-

ing threats, such as terrorism, and new approaches to prevent-ing and countering

them,” says Fisher, noting the work will also target

new technologies for emer-gency response. Both will

involve assessing changes in

information technology.• Associate professor Mohamed Hefeeda

of SFU’s School of Computing Science will use a $449,700 grant to study mobile gaming and 3D video systems, focusing on the next generation of services for wireless networks.

Hefeeda’s researchers will team up with Nokia to study, design and develop a framework for processing, streaming and rendering multiuser games, 3D video and 3D virtual environments on mobile devices.

“Th ere’s no doubt that mobile computing will soon replace PC-based computing for the average consumer,” he says. “Already, more than half of the world population uses cell phones or other mobile devices, and more mobile phones are used to browse the Internet than PCs.

“At the same time, we are witnessing a trend towards the mass consumption of new media,” he adds. “Despite their prom-ising nature, signifi cant challenges remain

to be solved.”Hefeeda’s colleague, computing scientist

Tamara Smyth, will use a $213,350 grant to study the interaction of acoustic and virtual instruments.

• Chemistry associate professor Erika Plettner ($496,500) will be on the search for compounds that will either mask the sense of smell in insects or actively deter them. Th e goal is to selectively manipulate the behaviour of pest insects by infl uenc-ing the way they perceive smell. Th e work includes moths, beetles and mosquitoes.

Meanwhile, chemistry colleague pro-fessor Steven Holdcroft ($277,500) will continue research in the fi eld of energy and fuel cells, while engineering sciences professor Bonnie Gray ($330,370) carries out research related to competitive manu-facturing. Biological sciences professor Jim Mattson ($506,000) will target heartwood rot resistance and the durability of West-ern red cedar lumber, a key resource for Canada’s forest industry.
