OWNERS OF THE most soot-spewing backhoes, excavators and other diesel equipment in Metro Vancouver must now register their machines and pay heft y annual fees.

A new regional bylaw takes eff ect Jan. 1 that Metro hopes will prod equipment operators to upgrade to cleaner diesel technology to help reduce cancer, respiratory illness and other health risks from particulate pollution.

Th e most polluting off -road diesel engines are classifi ed Tier 0 and must be registered and labelled with a ‘T0’ decal to operate in Metro.

Th ey’re being charged $4 per horsepower for 2012, but Metro intends to steadily raise the fees in the years ahead and expand the rules to more

machines.Fees that start now

in the hundreds of dollars – for a 100-horse excavator, for example – could be in

the thousands within a few years.Owners who retire a Tier 0 machine or upgrade

it to Tier 2 or better will be refunded 80 per cent of the fees paid in the previous three years.

Diesel soot emissions are responsible for about two-thirds of the lifetime cancer risk from air pol-lution in the region.

Off -road equipment accounts for more than 40 per cent of diesel emissions in Metro and the machines have not been upgraded as swift ly as on-road diesel trucks, which make up about eight per cent of emissions.

Ships are the biggest emitter at 43 per cent, but off -road machines are considered a bigger danger because they operate closer to where people live, work and play. Diesel engines smaller than 25 horsepower are exempt, as are farm machines, emergency generators and recreational machines like ATVs and snowmobiles.

BIRDERS AND nature enthu-siasts in Delta will join others across the western hemisphere to participate in Audubon’s longest-running wintertime tradition – the annual Christ-mas Bird Count today (Dec. 27).

Th e Ladner Christmas Bird Count is open to birders of all skill levels and each area team needs people who will be driv-ers, recorders, or spotters.

Each teams is led by expe-rienced birders who will work with the team in identifying all birds seen.

Th e Ladner Christmas Bird Count was started in the mid 1950s and has always been one of the top three counts for bird species seen in Canada. In 2010 the Ladner count was number one in B.C. and tops in Canada with 144 species.

Generally mild winters and availability of food make Boundary Bay and the Fraser River estuary a major winter-ing area for many species that spend their summers in Siberia, Alaska and Northern Canada.

Following the day’s count the teams will gather at the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

Th ose interested in partici-pating can contact the count coordinator Jude Grass at 604-538-8774, 604-219-2043 or by email at [email protected].

Counting birds in Delta

BOAZ JOSEPH / THE LEADER

Sleepy snowy owls Two snowy owls rest on a log in Delta’s Boundary Bay during a stopover on their Pacifi c Flyway migration route. According to local birder Glen Browning, the owls

travel from the Arctic every four to fi ve years when the population of their primary food source – lemmings – diminishes. But the Lower Mainland’s wet climate is hard on the birds and many do not make it back. Although the owls are equipped with dense

feathers, they cannot waterproof themselves very well. Snowy owls come to Boundary Bay, where they hunt waterfowl, as it closely matches the wide-open tundra habitat

they are accustomed to. For more photos and video go to surreyleader.com

Amtrak trains pass through White Rock but don’t stop. Years of lobbying have failed there, but a new campaign is underway to create an Amtrak stop in nearby Blaine, just steps from the Peace Arch .

FILE PHOTOBLACK PRESS

B.C. allies back Blaine Amtrak stationby Jeff Nagel

EFFORTS TO GET a White Rock stop for Amtrak passenger trains have so far failed, but a new push is now on to use Blaine’s historic train station just a stone’s throw across the border.

Th e idea is that Canadians – particularly from cities like Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford – could park near the Peace Arch border and board trains there to Seattle.

“It would have heavy Canadian usage as they could cross the border by foot or bike even,” predicts Bill Becht, one of the Blaine residents behind the cam-paign to restore the shuttered station.

Th e issue has become urgent in Blaine since BNSF Railway applied for a permit to demolish the old station building.

Th e city has postponed the decision one year while the building’s signifi -cance is assessed.

“I just want to get more awareness and hopefully there will be a groundswell of support,” Becht said. “Tearing a historic train station down is an asinine thing to do.”

He thinks Canadians will be key allies in the fi ght.Th e current Vancouver-Seattle service, which has no intermediary stops

north of Bellingham, is much less convenient for the 600,000-plus South of Fraser residents who must fi rst get to Vancouver’s Main Street train station to board Amtrak or else wait in border lines and drive to Bellingham to connect.

Surrey resident Gordon Hall notes Amtrak’s morning trains leave Vancouver too early for anyone from Surrey to get to the station on public transit.

“If we could park north of the border, walk to customs and get on the morning train headed south, then return on the evening train, it would work very well,” he said.

Numerous Canadian supporters have already posted on the blainestation.com website.“Th is concept would bring hundreds of BC residents into Blaine for travel to Seattle and fur-

ther,” predicted White Rock’s Christy Grant.“We would love to take the train south but driving to downtown Vancouver or Bellingham

doesn’t make sense,” added Bill Hughes.“It would be far more effi cient and convenient to use my Nexus pass to cross the border and

hop on a train to Seattle, or points south, than to catch a plane from Vancouver International Airport where I would have to spend two hours or so clearing security,” wrote Kane Scott.

Metro Vancouver residents also suggested TransLink buses run an extra eight blocks east from White Rock to the Peace Arch to support the service.

Others said the stop may even reduce pollution and lineups at the Peace Arch crossing.

Amtrak now runs two daily trains in each direction between Vancouver and Seattle.

Amtrak has opposed adding another stop because it would lengthen run times.

A proposed stop in White Rock was even more challenging because of the need for passengers to clear customs – a problem that would not exist in Blaine.

“Th ey’d have a leg up there,” White Rock Mayor Wayne Baldwin said. “But it’s certainly not going to be a cakewalk.”

He noted hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to upgrade the passenger rail line to reduce the travel time.

Stop near Peace Arch more convenient for many, say proponents

ONLY A FEW MONTHS aft er Maple Bata-lia was gunned down in a North Surrey parking lot, her family is setting up a bursary in her honour.

Batalia was 19 years old when she was shot and killed on Sept. 28 in a parkade near the Surrey campus of Simon Fraser University. She had been studying late and left for the parkade just before 1 a.m. when she was shot multiple times in what police believe was a targeted attack.

Batalia was an aspiring actress, model, who was planning to go to medical school. Th ose dreams died with her.

Now, the Batalia family wants to help another student achieve their dreams by setting up an educational bursary in Maple’s honour.

“It gives my mom a little bit of peace and my dad a little bit of peace, and we hope that Maple’s looking down and she’s proud,” sister Roseleen Batalia told CTV News.

Th e family has boosted the fundrais-ing initiative with a $10,000 donation. Th ey hope it will eventually reach $50,000. Details about the contributions can be found on the “RIP Maple Batalia” Facebook page.

At the same time, the city is planning a memorial for Maple at Holland Park, where a vigil was held for her days aft er she was killed.

Coun. Barinder Rasode said Surrey is working with family and SFU to plant a maple tree, and install a bench, as well as a work of art.

“Because she was so vibrant and artistic, the fam-ily would like to have an art piece commissioned for the park that everybody would enjoy,” Rasode said.

Maple and her mother used to walk though Hol-land Park sharing moments of her life, Rasode said, making the park an appro-priate place for the memo-rial.

“Th at was the place to talk,” Rasode said.

Police release new video

Police have released a video (see www.surreyleader.com) of potential witnesses who may have information leading to

the arrest of those responsi-ble for the murder of Batalia three months ago.

“Th ese persons are not suspects in this crime, but may have information from before, during or aft er the crime that could possibly assist IHIT (Integrated Homicide Investigation Team) investigators,” said Sgt. Jennifer Pound

If you have information, contact the IHIT tipline by calling 1-877-551-4448(IHIT) or email [email protected].

MOUNTIES have nabbed three teens believed to be responsible for a string of recent street robberies.

On Dec. 13, Surrey RCMP’s Robbery Unit arrested three suspects believed to be responsi-ble for a number of theft s of handheld electronics.

Zakaria Noor, 18, Michael Lal, 19, and an unnamed young off ender are facing 12 counts of robbery- related charges from crimes committed in Newton.

More arrests and charges are expected as the inves-tigation continues.

“We have a number of victims identifi ed, they’re just not as coope-rative as we need them to be,” said RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger.

Police are concerned about the activities of an organized group of males who have been robbing people of their mobile phones over the last few months.

Typically, the victims are responding to online advertisements to either sell or buy a mobile phone. Th e victims are threatened with physical violence, sometimes with a weapon, and are robbed.

Th e transactions are usually set up in the Newton area.

“Many young people will be getting these devices for Christmas... we’ve seen these types of robberies as crimes of opportunity, where they see these young people at the mall on the phone or their personal device and they’re confronted by some thug who’s deman-ding they turn it over to

them,” Grainger said.

Police are urging people to

take precau-tions when

arranging to meet with

people they don’t know when

buying or selling items.“By not following

some basic safety steps, you are putting yourself in a potentially com-promising or dangerous situation,” Grainger said.

Police recommend the following tips:

• Avoid meeting in secluded areas and cho-ose a safe public place where other people are around.

• Consider having a friend accompany you and tell a friend or family member where you are going.

• Be aware of your surroundings and always trust your instincts.

SELF-ESTEEM, gratitude and parent involvement put teens at a lower risk for violence, according to preliminary fi ndings from a survey of local youth.

Th e Powerful Teen Study by the Surrey-based Acting Together project, which involved a survey of more than 400 Grade 8 students, indicate character strengths and connec-tions with adults lead to a reduced belief in violence.

“Schools and some youth programs already seek to build character strengths,” said Dr. Roger Tweed,

one of the project’s co-investigators.

“Th ese fi ndings confi rm the relevance of character strengths and suggest there may be value in addi-tional eff orts to build gratitude, humility, self-esteem, and authentic-ity.”

Th e project involves Kwantlen Polytechnic University, Surrey School District and Simon Fraser Uni-versity. Participating students, with support from teachers and administrators, fi lled out confi dential 22-page surveys that asked ques-tions about things such as their social connec-tions and beliefs about

crimes and gangs. Th e young people were sur-veyed twice during the 2010-2011 school year, with a follow-up survey scheduled to take place in 2012-2013. Some parents and teachers were also surveyed.

According to Acting Together, the fi ndings so far from youth aged 12 to 14 reveal that:

• Gratitude and authenticity (i.e., belief in being true to oneself) are associated among boys with lower rates of fi ghting and fewer beliefs justifying vio-lence;

• Self-esteem and humility are both asso-ciated with fewer beliefs justifying violence;

• Youth can have both self-esteem (belief that one has value) and humility (belief that others are as important as oneself);

• Involvement in adult-directed lei-sure activities (arts, community groups organized by adults, religious activities, school clubs, and vol-unteer work) is associ-ated with self-reported authenticity;

• Students who reported that their parents generally know where they are and who they are with have both fewer delinquent beliefs and higher life satisfaction;

• Most students agreed that a teacher or other adult at school shows concern for them;

• Most students do not see many benefits to gang membership, but some are aware of only one or two of the many costs of gang membership.

The purpose of the study, Tweed told The Leader last year, is to examine what fac-tors keep kids out of trouble – to focus on the strength to be built upon, rather than the problems to avoid.

The Acting Together project is federally funded by the Social

Sciences and Humani-ties Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), through a $1 million federal Community-University Research Alliance (CURA) grant.

THE FEDERAL government has given a boost to a Surrey program that aims to empower young women – and to prevent violence against them.

YWCA Metro Vancouver recently received $259,550 from the federal Status of Women ministry for its leadership pro-gram for girls in Surrey, entitled Th at’s Just Me.

Th e program will develop lead-ership skills among Grade 7 girls and address their concerns about

entering high school, examine issues of gender and violence against women, and help the girls to defi ne attitudes and behaviours that are fundamental to healthy relationships.

It will empower girls to be “resilient, confi dent and socially responsible young women” who know what healthy relationships look like – “an integral step in the prevention of violence against women.”

“Our government is pleased to support projects that call on all Canadians – women and

men, girls and boys – to work collaboratively to end all forms of violence against women,” said Rona Ambrose, Minister of Public Works and Government Services and Minister for Status of Women.

Developed in partnership with the Surrey School District as a seven-week aft er-school program, the program uses university/college students, a high school mentor and an adult volunteer to serve as a mentor.

Th e fi rst session is slated to start in the spring (2012).

Imagine going to a restaurant for a $5 steak dinner, but when you get there you discover being seated at a table will cost you $5, a surcharge of $7 for the plate and utensils and another $4 for the server to take your order. Add on the tip and HST and

suddenly your cheap meal has become an expensive night out.Th at’s how Canada’s airlines have been allowed to operate.It’s marketing strategy; advertise only the base cost of the

ticket, with the full price of that ticket, including all its various surcharges, fees and taxes revealed when the purchaser is about to commit.

Consumer advocates have been complaining about it for years.In fact, the federal government did do something about it,

adding the “all-in-one” airfare advertising clause to the Canadian Transportation Act in June 2007.

But lobbying by the airlines, which claimed the new pricing policy would put them at a disadvantage to foreign airlines who could continue to advertise only their base fares on their own websites, has delayed its implementation for years.

Th at’s about to change.European airlines have been required to advertise the complete

cost of a ticket since 2008. In January, American airlines will also fall in line with all-in airfares. Th e competitive disadvantage argu-ment no longer exists.

So why will Canadian consumers have to wait another 12 months for a fi ve-year-old law to fi nally be enforced?

While it’s likely that only the most naive traveler believes they could actually travel to England for $99, requiring the airlines to be up front when advertising their fares will empower consumers when making the best choice for their travel spending.

Here are excerpts from my year-end interview with B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix:

TF: Th ere was a lot of cheering at your convention Dec. 10 when federal NDP leader Nycole Turmel said that B.C. shouldn’t have to pay Ottawa back the $1.6 billion HST transition payment. Th at hasn’t been your position. Isn’t this a mixed message for the public?

AD: No. In the federal election campaign, the NDP advocated for that position, and they said that if they were elected, and of course it was the late Jack Layton who put forward the argument that B.C. would not have to return the money, would we have voted at that time to get rid of the HST. Obviously, while the NDP did extremely well in that election, we didn’t win. Mr. Harper won. He says we have to pay the $1.6 billion back and the Liberal Party of B.C., Ms. Clark and Mr. Campbell’s party, signed a very bad deal for B.C. that we’re stuck with.

TF: You replaced Carole James this year. At the root of that situation was a complaint

about a policy vacuum in the B.C. NDP. I put it to you that that vacuum still exists …

AD: [laughs] I guess I can’t count on your support.

TF: I’m making a list here. Increase cor-porate taxes to 2008 levels. Bring back a corporate capital tax and use that to fund student grants. Have I missed anything?

AD: In January and February, many people criticized those proposals, especially the one returning corporate taxes to 2008 levels. And then the government adopted, briefl y, those proposals in May. So I’m delighted that I’m moving the political debate in a positive direction.

I defy you to name any opposition leader in any jurisdiction in Canada who has been as specifi c on taxa-tion as I have 18 months before an election. You’re going to see our detailed program in advance of the election.

At the NDP convention I spoke at length

about the key issues of our time, about the things that I’m campaigning for right now, including improving skills training in our province, addressing issues of inequality, addressing the fact that raw log exports are

out of control in the province.I get criticized on some

days for being too specifi c and too policy-oriented, so I’m delighted to hear your criticism that I’m not specifi c enough.

TF: The B.C. Liberals leapt on your recent statement about potentially increasing income taxes for high earners. This sounds like [federal NDP leadership candidate] Brian Topp’s suggestion of a new top

tax bracket. Is that what you were saying?AD: On personal income taxes, I think

because the B.C. Liberal Party has con-tinually increased costs on middle class people, for example, shifting the hydro burden onto residential customers, and

subsidizing industrial customers. They’re raising MSP premiums, raising ferry fares, raising long-term care fees, they have specifically gone after the middle class. I don’t think there’s really personal tax room there for middle-income people. That’s my view and my position.

TF: So does that mean increasing taxes for higher-income people?

AD: No. I think what you have to do is fi rst of all look at the fi scal situation closer to the election and be clear about that.

•••The interview also touched on the NDP

teaming up with Bill Vander Zalm, and the future of socialism. You can find the full text on The Leader’s website (www.surreyleader.com) by pointing to the Opinion tab and clicking on B.C. Opin-ions.

MY BROTHER, who had lived in the Kootenays for 35 years (fish-ing was his passion), he came to live with me in my home in Whalley in 2008.

In May 2010 he had a heart attack and was given a short time to live – days weeks or months. We managed to get him in the Hilton Rest Home which is located directly behind my home.

I would take two of my golden cockers to visit him quite often. During that time, one of my cockers, Tia, escaped twice from my fully fenced yard.

The staff phoned to tell me that my dog, Tia, was over

there. She was obviously going over to visit my brother. My

brother passed away in October 2010. It was shortly after that

that I decided I had better replace my 20 year old fence and so I had it done.

But today Tia went missing from my yard once more. This is a wonderful neighbourhood. Six people, some neighbours and some I didn’t even know at all, began to search for her, calling her name.

A neighbour told me that the mailman had found her and there she was, safe in his arms at the rest home.

What a wonderful neighbourhood I live in – Bolivar Heights, Whalley.

AS HAVE MANY OTHER secondary students in Surrey, I sometimes asked myself, “What was a good way to start our winter break?” TV, video games, parties and Facebook were too “ordinary” for us.

Being part of the Fraser Heights Leo Club, we and Guildford Leo Club launched our Christmas Celebration with the seniors at Arbourside Court Senior Centre in the first afternoon of winter break.

We caroled together with the seniors and performed several exciting performances, such as a magic show and electric slide dance, sharing our youth strength with the seniors.

I felt so warm inside because we actually did a good thing, and made a difference.

As one of the seniors told me, “You guys did a great job. Thank you for bringing out the liveliness and Christmas spirit.”

Christmas was for everyone, so was winter break.

Spending a day with the seniors was such a good way to start our winter break.

Therefore, do not be selfish, share your winter break with the people around you, and you will receive more than you give.

I WOULD hate it if one day my great-grandchildren came to me and asked me, “where am I going to hang my tire swing?”

I just feel that if we keep going in the direction that we are going, we will lose too many of our trees.

I voted for our Mayor Dianne Watts because she said she stood for keeping Surrey green, and that Surrey is supposed to represent the “city of parks.”

I am all for development and making Surrey an inviting city to move to, but when it comes to sacri-fi cing our beautiful old and majestic trees, I protest.

Th ere is a development of apart-ment buildings going in right beside where I live at the Arboretum Hous-ing Co-op at 105 Avenue and 154 Street, and the developer is planning to cut down 63 out of the 71 trees, some of them are red cedars. Not only are these trees very, very old, the name of our co-op means tree in Latin.

I look out my dining room win-dow and I feel like I live in a forest; I don’t want to look out and see concrete and the trees gone.

A lot of developers these days don’t seem to care about losing tees, they only seem to care about mak-ing their development bigger at the cost of majestic beauties.

Th e future of our trees seems bleak, and how are we going to respond to that question, “where am I going to hang my tire swing?”

Brar will see howhopeless welfare

system isSO, SURREY MLA Jagrup Brar will be going on welfare. I wish him well.

In 2010 I was laid off my job as a supervisor. First I was on EI for a year. Then I had to apply for welfare.

To apply for welfare you go online and then wait for a call, and if you miss your call you wait all over again.

Then you go and stand in line with your paperwork for up to three hours before you get a number to sit inside and wait to be called up to speak to someone.

Having a bad back disc dis-ease, I can’t stand for any length of time and I’m 60 years old and not able to work.

Inside, when you finally see someone, they (in the Surrey-Newton office) talk down to you and are very rude.

You should see how long mothers with children and the elderly have to wait outside for everyone to look at us like we are bums.

I met some very nice people in line who helped me with where to go for food and help. Thanks to the SAFER program, as of this month, I am off welfare. It has been a nightmare to get $600 a month I had to beg for.

Mr. Brar, good luck. Hope you enjoy your $610.

And you can see for yourself how the system works, and not having any hope.

And good luck to all the people in line... good luck to all of you.

I AGREE, the new decorations put up by the City of Surrey this year are tacky; the ones in North Surrey look like leaking fi reworks, and the ones in Newton look like psychedelics left over from some other age...yuck!

Th ese current decorations are not festive looking in the least. Th ey are representative of more “politically correct” nonsense; their generic obscu-rity supposedly designed not to off end seasonal sensibilities. Humbug!

Surrey’s decorations far from festive

by Kevin Diakiw

THOSE SCRAPINGS from dinner plates will

soon be used to power the trucks that come to pick them up.

Surrey just signed

a contract with BFI Canada last week that will change the way residential waste is picked up and treated.

Starting late next year, all organic waste (all food waste, garden clippings, etc.) will be disposed of in a diff er-ent bin and picked up every week and taken to an organic biofuel facility. Eventually, the resulting gas will be collected and used to power the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) trucks doing the curb-side pick-up.

In a separate bin, residents will put their normal garbage, which will be picked up every second week and either taken to a landfi ll or the Burnaby waste incinerator.

It’s all part of a long-standing initiative to make Surrey’s waste disposal more sustain-able, while having a less detrimental impact on the environment.

Under the new contract with BFI, residential waste will be collected using the CNG-powered trucks, which according to a city release emit 23 per cent less carbon emis-sions and 90 per cent less air particulates compared to tradi-tional diesel trucks. Studies show replac-ing one diesel truck with a CNG truck is the equivalent to taking 475 cars off the road each year.

Th e separa-tion of organics as part of the pick-up is partly driven by the city’s objective to divert 70 per cent of the waste headed to landfi lls.

“Th e City of Surrey’s new direction for waste collection and process-ing will help establish a benchmark in North America, and will go

a long way to creating cleaner, more sustain-able communities in the region,” Mayor Dianne Watts said in a release. “It’s important for municipalities to demonstrate and advance new technolo-gies, and to help facili-

tate new ways of reducing waste.”

Th e move has been in the works for years by management and staff in Surrey’s engineering department.

In 2010, the city embarked on a successful residential pilot organics collec-tion program through-out Surrey.

It’s estimated that 90 per cent of residents supported the organics collection and that residential garbage was reduced by 45 per cent in pilot areas as a result.

Th e city manages the collection of residential curb side garbage, recy-cling and yard waste for approximately 97,000 single-family dwellings each week, in addition to recycling for 30,000 multifamily residential units.

Th e new services come into eff ect Oct. 1 next year.

Th e cost of the new contract is $9.5 million annually for the next seven years (Surrey has an option to extend it by three years). In addition, Surrey will have to invest $1.5 million per year for the term for the new garbage carts, bringing the total cost to $11 million annually.

Th at’s less than the current contract of more than $12 million, in part because of the less frequent pick-up of garbage headed for the landfi ll and because of the new automated pick-up.

HOSPITAL EMERGENCY depart-ments are busy places, and during the winter months, visits to local hospitals can increase dramatically.

Fraser Health is asking residents to help by taking simple steps to avoid unnecessary trips to your local emergency department dur-ing the busy holiday season.

“We know that emergencies and other serious health concerns happen every day, but some of the infl ux of patients during the holidays is related to people needing a prescription refi ll or a family physician’s check-up when their doctor’s offi ce is closed for the holidays,” said Dr. Craig Mur-ray, medical director for Surrey Memorial Hospital’s emergency department.

“People with serious health con-ditions need our emergency physi-cians and health care staff to be available when needed, so we are reminding people to plan ahead – check your doctor’s holiday hours and walk-in clinics in your area and get your prescriptions refi lled well before you run out to avoid unnecessary trip to emergency during the busy winter season.”

Emergency department admits are triaged by level of seriousness of the symptoms. If you need to visit an emergency department, coming prepared can make your visit shorter. Keep a list of all med-ications that you take and known allergies with you at all times.

Other steps you can take to avoid an unnecessary trip to an emergency department:

• If you are unsure about what health services you require or where to access them, call 8-1-1. Th e toll-free HealthLink BC line provides 24/7 confi dential health information in over 130 languages including Punjabi, Cantonese and Mandarin.

• Check your symptoms or get more information about a condi-tion online at HealthLink BC www.healthlinkbc.ca or you can

order a book format for easy refer-ence at home.

• Take note of the weekend/holiday hours of your local phar-macy/drug store, and ensure your prescriptions are up to date.

• Familiarize yourself with the locations and operating hours of walk-in clinics in your area. http://fi nd.healthlinkbc.ca/

• Get your annual fl u shot.• Wash your hands frequently to

avoid spreading and/or contract-ing viruses and bacteria.

• Rest is best. If you feel like you’re getting the cold or fl u, drink plenty of fl uids and take it easy.

• To avoid food-borne illnesses, ensure your cooking utensils, containers and food preparation surfaces are cleaned and sanitized aft er use, especially if they have been in contact with raw foods.

• Store food at the correct temperature (equal to or less than four degrees Celsius or 40 degrees Fahrenheit) and check that it is cooked properly before eating. http://befoodsafe.ca

• Follow basic safety precau-tions: Buckle up, don’t drink and drive, don’t leave open fl ames unattended, and keep alcohol and potential poisonous substances out of reach from children.

A BUSY but successful week between the pipes has landed Surrey Eagles’ netminder Andrew Hunt player-of-the-week honours from the B.C. Hockey League, for the week ending Dec. 18.

Hunt, a 19-year-old product of Surrey Minor Hockey, was in goal for three of the Eagles’ four wins last week, and was named the game’s first star in two of those games.

Hunt began the week by mak-ing 42 saves in Surrey’s 4-1 win over the Powell River Kings, and followed up by allow-ing just two goals against the Victoria Grizzlies. After giving way to backup Conor Barrie

last Saturday in a win over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, Hunt was back in the crease Sunday against Prince George, stopping 29 of 30 Spruce Kings’ shots.

For the week, Hunt has a .961 save-percent-age and a 1.33 goals-against average.

In his first season as the Eagles’ starter, Hunt is second among BCHL goalies in wins (16); first in minutes-played; and ranked in the top-10 in both save-percentage and

goals-against average. Hunt’s teammate, forward

Sean McGovern, earned a player-of-the-week honourable mention, after tallying three goals and two assists in the four games last week.

TWENTY GIRLS high school basketball teams will battle for the unoffi cial city championship next week at the 11th annual Surrey Firefi ghters Goodwill Classic.

For the fi ft h consecutive years, the Jan. 3-7 event will actually be two tournaments, each named with a fi refi ghter theme.

“Th e Axe division is for the stronger teams, and the Ladder division is for the not so strong,” said tournament director Nancy Innes. “Lord Tweedsmuir Sec-ondary is once again graciously hosting, with Holy Cross, Kwantlen Park, Enver Creek and Princess Margaret helping out for the fi rst couple of days.”

In addition to the basketball, seven players or team managers will receive $750 scholarships.

“Bob McAuley will be setting up with his gang for the barbe-cue, which brings in money for the tournament and scholar-ships,” said Innes.

Six teams are in the Axe divi-sion, including the Elgin Park Orcas, a team which has domi-nated the Firefi ghters Classic in previous years. Th ey won fi ve straight championships, the last three of those in the Axe Division, before they were upset by the host Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers in preliminary round play last year.

Th at opened the door for the Holy Cross Crusaders to capture their second Firefi ght-ers championship. Holy Cross, also winners of the inaugural tournament in 2002, defeated the Panthers 79-42 in the fi nal.

Th e Crusaders, ranked third in B.C. in the Senior AA category, will start this year’s

tournament by hosting the Semiahmoo Totems in a fi rst round game Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. at Holy Cross high school. Th e winner faces Elgin Park Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at Lord Tweedsmuir.

Th e Panthers will tip-off at noon Tuesday on their home court against the Earl Marriott Mariners. Th e winner will play the Fleetwood Park Dragons at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, also at Tweedsmuir.

Another 14 teams will com-pete in the Ladder division, with games Tuesday at Enver Creek, Princess Margaret and Kwantlen Park high schools as well as at Lord Tweedsmuir.

Following a three-point shooting competition at noon, the two championship games are set for 2:30 p.m. (Ladder) and 3:30 p.m. (Axe) on Satur-day, Jan. 7 at Lord Tweedsmuir.

High point for Surrey’s SASSERVANTS ANONYMOUS SOCIETY (SAS) of Surrey, and Community Living Campbellford/Brighton of Campbell-ford, ON, shared the $20,000 William H. Donner Award for Excellence in the Delivery of Social Services, the award for the highest-performing agency overall.

SAS also won the Award for Excellence in the Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse, which came with a $5,000 prize.

Altogether 591 agencies from across Canada took part in this year’s competi-tion. Th is was the fi rst time the award has been given to a Surrey charity, and

only the second time in 14 years that a B.C. agency has won.

SAS maintains two safe houses for homeless women, who are oft en sex-ually exploited and may also struggle

with addictions or other problems. Th e agency also operates a full-time, fi ve-days-a-week school to provide academic and

personal education that helps women rescued from life on the streets to re-integrate into society.

Some of its graduates have gone from homelessness to owning their own homes as a result of the training and sup-port they received. In the ten years it has been operating, SAS has helped more than 400 women escape from exploita-tion and homelessness.

SAS needs fi nancial support to help maintain and expand their aid to homeless women. For more information, contact SAS at 604-590-2304 or online at http://sasurrey.ca/

The Association of South Asian Professionals of British Colum-bia (ASAP) held their fourth-annual “Blankets for the Home-

less Event” at Oppenheimer Park in East Vancouver.

ASAP members, their families and friends from the Mannkind (sic) Chari-table Society took part in distributing more than 600 items such as blankets, socks, toques and jackets to the less fortunate.

By raising awareness, ASAP hopes others will join in to make a meaningful diff erence in the lives of the roughly 2,300 homeless people in Vancouver.

With HSBC lending a helping hand as the main sponsor for the ASAP blanket drive, there will be hundreds of home-less people kept warm during the winter months.

WINTER IS HERE, bring with it some new visi-tors from the north.

Th ree interesting species of “snow birds” demonstrate how important the habitats of the Fraser River delta are at this time of year.

White, sparrow-size birds, called snow buntings, spend the winter in small num-bers locally, frequenting jetties, causeways, and roadsides near the coast.

Th ey can be very inconspicuous, the white patches on their plumage blending well with their surround-ings.

Accustomed to the wide open spaces of the tundra, these little birds are not at all shy and can be approached quite closely as they search around for seeds on the ground.

Snowy owls share a similar Arctic white and grey colour scheme. Th ey roost in the open so are eas-ily seen in coastal grasslands.

Always popular with birders and photogra-phers, these spectacular, large owls periodically disperse southwards, forced from the tundra by diminishing food sup-plies every fi ve or six years.

A southward irrup-tion is here. In 2005,

eighteen of these birds could be seen through the winter months, resting on logs outside the Boundary Bay dyke, and in 2006 a handful of birds visited. Th is year,

dozens have already been spot-ted.

Tens of thousands of snow geese have arrived for the winter at the mouth of the Fraser

River, where they feed on sedge rhizomes and the remains of the potato harvest.

Th e geese are pure white with black wing tips, but when they have

been grubbing in the mud, their head and necks oft en become stained rusty-brown.

Th ey will feed for a couple of months around Westham Island before heading to the Skagit Valley, WA for the midwinter period. Long skeins of snow geese then return through the Fraser estu-ary on their springtime migration to their breeding grounds on Wrangel Island, Russia.

All these winter visitors are here to escape the harsh winter weather up north. Great care should be taken not to disturb them, particularly when tak-ing photographs.

In the past, owls have been harassed by photographers keen to get the perfect “shot”

and this upsets both the birds and other people who are hoping to see them.

Please keep your dogs on leash near birds and respect the rights of

farmers and landown-ers; wintering birds are oft en found on private farm fi elds, so please do not trespass to observe them.

Enjoy these beautiful

creatures before spring comes and they fl ock elsewhere.

Guide to Boundary Bay and Tracing Our Past: A Heritage Guide to Boundary Bay, available at local bookstores. Visit www.natureguidesbc.com for details.

OPERATING for almost 100 years, 4-H is one of the longest-running youth organizations in B.C.

Th e 4-H program provides young people (ages 9 – 19) with an opportunity to learn

how to work together and become productive, self-assured adults who can make their commu-nity and country a good place in which to live.

Th e goal of the 4-H program is youth devel-opment. Th e objec-tives of 4-H clubs are knowledge, leadership,

citizenship and personal development.

Clubs generally focus around a specifi c proj-ect or topic. Historically those projects have attracted youth in rural or farm communities, but many other projects are now available through 4-H.

One of Surrey’s clubs is the 4-H Motorhead Club. Members aged nine to 19 learn the ins and outs of two- and four-stroke motors.

Another is the Surrey 4-H Needle Craft Club, where members learn hand embroidery, creat-ing three items during the year using these skills.

As part of each project, 4-H members keep records of their work throughout the year. Th ey elect an executive and run their own meetings. Th ey also learn and compete in judging, demonstra-tions, public speaking and create educational displays.

Members can qualify for exciting 4-H travel opportunities and even earn high school credits.

For information about the Motorhead Club, contact Linda Smith at [email protected]. For information about the Needle Craft Club, con-tact Linda Stromberg at 604-575-2700 or [email protected]
