Last fall, a group of 26 west-erners, exhausted by a cross-Pacifi c fl ight and a fi ve-hour bus ride through the hazy
agricultural patchwork of north-cen-tral China, were greeted by hundreds of well-wishers in the “small city” of Linyi, home to 10 million people.
Following an indoor ceremony of banners, colours and speeches, the visitors got down to business – work that would involve 102 operations over 10 days for 76 young patients who needed facial reconstructive surgery.
A cleft lip or palate isn’t a life-threatening condition. In B.C., babies born with the split in the lip or an opening in the roof of the mouth – about 200 a year – are operated on quickly and safely. It’s not a major medical concern.
But in developing countries, with few aff ordable options to repair the birth defects, children can grow up with dental or speech problems, dif-fi culty eating, social stigmas and pos-sible rejection by their community.

A SHUFFLING of transit service that will make buses more frequent in some parts of Metro Vancouver and more scarce on other routes should start to become noticeable this spring.
TransLink’s so-called service optimization initiative aims to wring more revenue out of the transit system with the same budget and number of service hours.
“We’re not cutting back service, but we’re moving it around from where it’s not doing much good to where it will do more good,” spokesman Ken Hardie said.
Boosting service on runs at times where full buses drive by passengers waiting by the road and trimming back the schedule when buses run near empty should, TransLink projects, have the eff ect of improving performance overall, carrying more passengers and increasing fare revenue.
It estimates an extra $10 to $15 million per year could be generated through the planned reshuffl ing of about 4.5 per cent of total service hours.

Reallocation of regional bus service began last year, and will continue in April, September and December, TransLink says.
Minister defends re-think
of Pattullo plans
It’s expected to be a fi ne-tuning of the schedule, with changes in bus frequency rather than elimination of entire routes.
“Th e intent is to nip-and-tuck-out service hours that are really not being utilized and reallocate them to diff erent parts of the system,” Hardie said.
It’s too early to say which runs and times stand to gain and which stand to be cut, he said. But areas like Surrey, Delta and Langley should be net benefi ciaries.
“Th ere will be some pretty good lift s in service in the South of Fraser in April as a result of the service optimization,” Hardie predicted.
TransLink acknowledges its service south of the river has not yet caught up to what’s required by the rapidly growing population, he said.
He downplayed the impact on routes where service will be
trimmed and passengers will wait longer for a bus.“We don’t want to raise general concern that there will be
widespread reductions in service,” he said. “Done appropri-ately, very few people will notice.”
Hardie said a few of the changes actually started to happen in December with little fanfare. Changes that start in April will still be modest, Hardie said, with more reallocation of service to come in September and December.
TransLink has set out principles to guide the changes.Th ey call for the protection of service to transit-dependent
riders who don’t own cars; maintaining runs that are strategic in connecting the network; and protecting growing markets that are experiencing substantial ridership increases.
Th e strategy is part of TransLink’s eff ort to work within its budget – which climbed by $130 million a year when tax and fare hikes were approved in 2009 – until it gets approval to collect more revenue for a more ambitious expansion of the system.
Renovating old span would just buy time: Watts
by Jeff Nagel
TRANSPORTATION MINISTER Shir-ley Bond is defending a move to consider fi xing up the antiquated Pattullo Bridge rather than tear-
ing it down and building a replacement.
A refurbish-ment of the exist-ing 73-year-old bridge – which is far narrower than modern stan-dards allow and the site of many fatal crashes over the years – would avoid the prickly political issue of putting tolls on a new replacement bridge between Surrey and New Westminster.
“All of us want to work to build a structure for the
long term that’s safe,” Bond said. “We also do need to consider the impact of tolls.”
Both Bond and previous trans-portation minister Kevin Falcon had pledged to seek ways to avoid making the Pattullo the third toll bridge over the Fraser, leaving the Alex Fraser Bridge as the nearest free alternative.
Bill Clinton

THE CITY of Surrey says the cost of bringing former U.S. presi-dents to speak here later this year will not be made public, as their rates vary depending on the events.
Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, former Democrat and Republican presidents respec-tively, are coming to Surrey this fall to speak at the annual Surrey Regional Economic Summit.
Coun. Linda Hepner said as part of the deal to bring them here, their rates can’t be disclosed publicly.
However, at past engagements, Clinton has typically charged in the neighbourhood of $300,000
and Bush required about $150,000 – a total of $450,000 for the pair for the day.
Mayor Dianne Watts said that’s much more than what’s being charged for the Surrey event.
Clinton has a friend in the Vancouver area who fl ies him up here periodically, which gave the city the opportunity to invite him here for much less.
“Contractually, we cannot talk about their fees,” Watts said. “But I will say that taxpayer dollars are not funding their speaking engagements at the summit. Th ose costs will be covered off by sponsors and ticket sales.”
Hepner said the city is a minor sponsor of the event, contribut-ing up to $20,000 to pay for printing and other sundry costs.
As for police overtime costs to bolster security, Hepner said that would be a federal matter.
Hepner said as soon as the city announced the two former American presidents were com-ing, the phone started ringing. Companies were lining up to have their name attached to the summit by way of sponsorship.
“Th ey were calling us,” a surprised Hepner said.
Watts said the main sponsors are mostly fi nancial institutions and investment organizations.
Th e summit will be held at the Sheraton Guildford Van-couver on Th ursday, Oct. 20. Clinton and Bush are slated to make their presentations later in the day.

Bond: ‘I don’t think a new bridge is off the table at all’TransLink had com-
mitted in 2008 to build a new six-lane bridge and planning has been underway since then on the basis it would be financed through tolls.
But public hearings
on how a new Pat-tullo would connect with area roads last fall were postponed after the decision to re-examine options to refurbish the exist-ing bridge instead of building new.
Bond denied her ministry directed
TransLink to re-exam-ine the issue, adding it was “a mutual decision” of staff from both agencies who sit on a technical steering committee.
“I don’t think a new bridge is off the table at all,” she said. “TransLink is doing
the due diligence necessary before proceeding with what could turn out to be a billion-dollar project.”
TransLink has jurisdiction over the Pattullo and will make the final decisions on what to build, she added.
The ministry has also questioned the scope of the plan to build a new bridge, particularly whether a six-lane bridge is justified or whether a four-lane span is suf-ficient.
“We want best value for taxpayer dollars
and we want safety,” Bond added.
Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts says a new bridge is required, adding she’s concerned a renovation of the old one might add only 10 years life and leave taxpayers on the hook for an expensive
replacement later on.“You’re just buying
some time,” she said. “At the end of the day, that bridge does need to be replaced.”
But Watts said a careful reassessment ofthe assumptions and plans made to date may be wise, adding she looks forward to seeing any justification for fixing rather than replacing the Pattullo.
Watts also doesn’t want to see the bridge tolled and continues to advocate for a new policy of “fair tolling” in the region.
Past studies looked at options like adding a median barrier and banning trucks or reducing the Pattullo to three lanes with a counterflow, like the Lions Gate Bridge.
TransLink was advised to build a new bridge and that the existing one would last at most another 50 years.
Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Patil Huberman said the bridge must be replaced without delay.
“This bridge is a key arterial connector in a region that is and will continue to experience explosive growth with the obvious impact on road transportation and transit,” she said.
Some critics are happy the bridge building plan is on hold and may be scrapped.
Freeway expan-sion opponent Eric Doherty, of the group Gateway Sucks, called it great news.
“This is a case of misplaced priorities,” he said. “We can’t be expected to spend a billion dollars on a new bridge that’s not really needed when there isn’t enough money to do the Ever-green Line or rapid transit on King George (Boulevard) in Surrey.”
Doherty said it’s been unclear so far how a six-lane Pat-tullo replacement was going to work on the New Westminster side without demolish-ing houses to punch through new lanes.
He said any delay on the Pattullo will give more opportunity to reconsider the related North Fraser Perim-eter Road and United Boulevard exten-sion that he said are opposed by significant numbers of New West-minster residents.

THE CITY is seeking a partner to help build a 10,000-seat complex on the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, a building suitable for hosting future indoor rodeos and possibly hockey games.
According to an expression of interest put out by the city, the building will be a “state-of-the-art” facility that can be used for sport, exhibitions, trade shows, conventions, cultural programs, con-certs and similar events.
Th e $50- to $80-mil-lion facility will be a public-private partner-ship, with the city and a yet-to-be chosen part-ner splitting the costs.
Th e seating capacity puts the scale at about double the Langley Events Centre and larger than any sporting facility outside of B.C. Place and Rogers Arena in Vancouver.
About a dozen propo-
nents went to city hall recently and discussed possible options for the arena, which would be located on the north side of the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, near 176 Street and 64 Avenue.
Bill Reid, execu-tive director for the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, said the complex is just what the community needs.
“Th e city is putting the land in the package to make it work,” Reid said.
One of the caveats is that the facility must provide an indoor venue for the annual May long weekend rodeo.
Mayor Dianne Watts said it’s time something was done with aging infrastructure at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds.
“Th e buildings are get-ting very, very old,” Watts said. “We’ve had trade shows leave because of the condition of the buildings. So it’s time we looked at new options.”
She isn’t aware of any discussions with sports teams that might want to use the facility.
Th e city had been in discussions with the Whitecaps FC, which wanted a practice venue on the other side of the property, closer to Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino.
Watts said she’s not been made aware of how those discussions are going.
It’s expected the exist-ing amphitheatre, youth skate park and Stetson Bowl would be kept as part of any successful proposal.
Reid said that he’s heard the Stetson Bowl fi eld would be replaced with astroturf, allowing it to be used for soccer, football, baseball and grass hockey by both the city and the school district.
Watts said she expects to see specifi c proposals by March 17.
“Th en we’ll move forward on that basis,
depending on what we have,” Watts said.
Th e early stage hasn’t done anything to quell
Cloverdale’s enthusiasm for the project.
“I’m walking up and down the street right
now telling everybody, ‘It’s coming, it’s com-ing’,” Reid said.

A LARGE EXCAVATOR began tearing down the Cloverdale Mall Tuesday, its mighty jaws crunching into wooden beams and boards, sending clouds of sawdust and bits of debris into the air.
It started with the entrance way of the landmark mall’s former anchor store, Safeway. Th e crisp, dusty scent of freshly milled lumber hung in the air.
“It’s a little sad to see it go, isn’t it?” remarked one woman who stopped to take a closer look.
“It’s a piece of Cloverdale history,” she said, adding she still missed the Safeway and its staff .
Th e Safeway store closed in the mid-2000s, precipitating the mall’s inevitable decline.
“When they took the liquor store
out, that’s what killed it,” said another onlooker, who was surprised to learn the building was fi nally coming down.
Th e leaking, aging mall’s half-dozen remaining tenants – ranging from an insurance company to a theatre troupe – were out at the end of Octo-ber. Th e fi nal two tenants – a small Sikh temple and a soup kitchen run by local churches – left at the end of January.
Demolition crews have been removing drywall, asbestos and other materials from the interior for several weeks, trucking materials to recycling facilities.
Utilities will also be removing infrastructure as part of the demoli-tion process.
Th e mall is being torn down to make way for a new development called Cloverdale West Village, a mix of commercial and residential units.
Construction on the project’s fi rst phase is expected to get underway later this year.
Phase one will consist of a single wood-frame, fi ve-storey building with 22,000 square feet of commercial space, an underground parking lot and 100 residential units on the southwest portion of the site.
Th e fi rst phase will include a new home for the Cloverdale Legion that’s about the same size as the current branch at 10,000-sq.-ft .

OPINION
Kwantlen Poly-technic Univer-sity students have voted 65 per cent
in favour of the U-Pass, but with a major wrinkle. In ad-dition to the $40-per-month pass, which will give them unlimited access to public transit, they will also be able to board a shuttle service which will run between the university’s four campuses.
Th e fact that a separate shuttle service is needed to get students effi ciently between the campuses in Newton, Cloverdale, Rich-mond and Langley shows just how unreli-able the transit system is south of the Fraser River.
Kwantlen students demon-strated this last summer, when in a well-publi-cized test, three students made the trip between the Newton and Langley cam-puses. One cycled, one took the bus and the third ran between the two campuses.
Not surprisingly, the cyclist came fi rst – making the trip in 59 minutes. Th e runner, however, came second, taking one hour and six minutes. He is an experi-enced distance runner.
It took the bus rider took an hour and 19 minutes to make the trip between the two campuses, which would probably take less than half an hour by car.
Th e new U-Pass service for Kwantlen students will begin in May, and the shut-tle bus between campuses is expected to be in operation by September. Kwantlen Student Association spokes-man Nathan Griffi ths says access to both transit and the shuttle bus will “revolutionize the culture on campus,” and he’s certainly right about that.
If Kwantlen students can actually rely on getting between campuses in a rea-sonable amount of time, far more of them will not have to rely on cars any more.
It’s surprising that it has taken this many years to
come up with a shuttle ser-vice. I attended Kwantlen’s predecessor Douglas Col-lege in the early 1970s, and even then getting between the three campuses in Sur-rey, Richmond and New Westminster was a chal-lenge for many students. All science labs were in Rich-mond, for example, even if the classes were in Surrey. And in those days, Surrey had no transit service of any kind, although Richmond and New Westminster did.
Th e challenges Kwantlen students face are the same as those faced by all residents
south of the Fraser. Th ese problems have been so long-lasting that Delta Mayor Lois Jackson is now talking about some-how getting out of Trans-Link, as it simply does not serve
Delta, Surrey, White Rock and Langley adequately.
While top offi cials at TransLink are well aware of the service inequities, the lack of sustained funding to expand the system makes it very hard to improve services.
While this is better than the alternative of doing nothing, it does little to encourage people to use transit, and as a result, the roads in Surrey and other South Fraser communities become more congested each year.
Th e whole issue of TransLink funding has been shoved onto the back burner due to the Liberal leadership race. However, just before he resigned last fall, Premier Gordon Camp-bell did agree to have the province take a good look at all possible sources of fund-ing, including the carbon tax, with the goal of giving TransLink ongoing access to other sources of taxation.
If his successor follows through on that pledge, far more South Fraser residents will be using the transit system in the future.

CONTROVERSIAL SPEAKERS
If any evidence was needed to prove how far Sur-rey has come in recent years in terms of growing into a powerhouse of a city both regionally and globally, look no further than the line-up at this
year’s economic summit.Former U.S. presidents Bill Clinton and George W.
Bush will be the keynote speakers at the annual Sur-rey Regional Economic Summit on Oct. 20.
Th is is quite the coup.Organizers of the annual event have set the bar
high. Previous summit speakers include former New York mayor Rudy Guiliani and former British prime minister Tony Blair.
But this year’s Clinton/Bush pairing packs even more punch.
However, the choice is not without risk.
To be sure, Guiliani and Blair brought along their fair share of baggage (Guil-iani’s tumultuous personal life, and Blair’s support of the U.S. invasion of Iraq).
And while Clinton may have been the second president in American history to be impeached (later acquitted) for the Monica Lewinsky scandal, his charm and charity work have largely redeemed him.
Th ere is a palpable and prolonged public dislike of Dubya that has failed to fade since his time in offi ce, most likely due to his U.S.-led mili-tary campaign that launched years of violent confl icts that continue to kill soldiers – and civilians –today.
But unlike Blair, who is widely criticized for his political leadership that saw the U.K. partner with the U.S. in the attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, derision for Bush goes deeper.
In an email this week, Leader reader Grant Rice makes some interesting observations. He writes:
“Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and Councillor Linda Hepner would be wise to reconsider their choice of speakers for the October 2011 Economic Summit. President Bush just cancelled a visit to
Switzerland where he was scheduled to be the keynote speaker at a charity gala dinner on Feb. 12 in Geneva.
“According to the Huffi ngton Post, the New York-based Human Rights Watch and International Federation of Human Rights said the cancellation was linked to growing moves to hold Bush account-able for torture, including waterboarding. He has admitted in his memoirs and television interviews to ordering use of the interrogation technique that simulates drowning.
“It is unconscionable to off er a suspected war criminal a six fi gure appearance fee to speak at an economic summit. George W. has admitted sanc-tioning torture during his ‘war on terror’ but Surrey
politicians seem willing to overlook his human rights abuses to receive economic advice...”
While some (including Bush in his memoirs Decision Points) would argue techniques such as waterboarding are necessary to save innocent lives, groups like Amnesty International point out they are prohibited under international law.
No matter where you stand on war, terrorism, torture techniques, sexual shenanigans, or American fi scal policy for that matter (isn’t the U.S. trillions
of dollars in debt?), there is no question Clinton and Bush are controversial fi gures whose presence will provoke much debate.
Which is not to say Surrey should back away from contention. Quite the contrary; big cities must grapple with the tough stuff .
But does it have a back-up plan should growing dissent threaten or even quash the 2011 summit speakers’ appearances?
And, perhaps even more intriguingly, who’s on deck for next year?
Maybe Prince William and his new bride Kate would oblige.

THE SURREY BOARD of Trade is extremely disappointed to hear that the province has ordered a suspension of the design work on the replacement of the 73-year-old Pattullo Bridge, while it reconsiders fi xing it up instead of replacing it. A report from Delcan Consulting in 2008, recommended against rehabilitat-ing the existing structure, prompting former TransLink CEO, Tom Prender-gast, to state, “Our direction will be to build an entirely new bridge and tear the old one down.”
Prendergast further said it would cost as much to rehabilitate the Pattullo to last 50 years as it would to build a six-
lane bridge to last 100 years. If that was true just over two years ago, how is it any diff erent now?
Th is bridge is a key arterial connec-tor in a region that is, and will continue, to, experience explosive growth with the obvious impact on road transporta-tion and transit. It must be replaced – without delay.
For the sake of the economic integ-rity of this region, and the whole of the Lower Mainland, we urge the province to restart the design process and get on with replacing the bridge.

AS VALENTINE’S DAY approaches, I cannot help but think of the untapped potential of love.
Life is about relationships and making connections. Th e memories you create with the people in your life is your legacy in part.
As a spiritual person, I feel love is even more important. Love is evidence of God’s spiritual energy within us. Th is spiritual energy is everywhere and connects all of humanity and creation.
My response to non-believers is simple. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by embracing love and spirituality.
If the decision-makers of the world actually believed in this then there would be more caring, sharing, and concern for humanity.
Love can make the world go around. We just have to give it a chance. Happy Valentine’s Day.
Alex Sangha, Delta
I READ JEFF NAGEL’S article on distracted driving (“Deadly driving habits,” Th e Leader, Feb. 4).
I fi nd it appalling that we continue the rheto-ric. Th e government fi nally introduced legisla-tion banning the use of cellphones and texting while driving. Of course, this should have been implemented from the beginning, but that would have required common sense which seems to be sorely lacking these days.
It’s true when they say that a lot of people are addicted to these devices, but I believe that government, police, ICBC and all parties have
to take a zero-tolerance position. Th ere are a number of people who believe ICBC should not provide insurance coverage to those who cause accidents while distracted. Th ere have also been million-dollar lawsuits against these drivers.
It is up to all of us to speak up. Th ese dis-tracted drivers are oblivious to the dangers and show a complete lack of respect to other drivers. We can’t keep allowing this to go on while people are being killed and maimed by these selfi sh people.
Th ey should not only be severely fi ned, but
also lose their insurance and be taken off our roads.
I also believe that car manufacturers have to be held accountable for technologies such as GPS, etc. and demonstrate that they are not distracting.
Th ey say there are too many rules and regula-tions but not in this case. All parties have a duty to protect society and in turn, protect them-selves and their loved ones.
F. Scarfe, Cloverdale
THE ROOM was full this week at the North Delta Area Plan Review meeting. People expressed concerns about many topics, but two issues kept recurring: what to do about density and the need for improved transit.
Obviously, the two topics are related – you need a certain amount of density to support a good transit system.
Th e main question however, is what kind of density will North Delta end up with?
If we try to preserve neighbour-hoods of big detached houses on big lots, we’ll end up with increased rental units creating den-sity – some legal and some illegal.
More people will face long-term renting if they want to live in part of a detached house in Delta.
Very few ordinary people, for example, can pay over $780,000 for a home, which is what the new Delsom detached homes are now selling for.
With land is so expensive all over Metro Vancouver, Delta needs a new type of home that ordinary young families can aff ord.
Four-storey or mid-rises along Scott Road may work for some retirees and single people, but many young ordinary families want ground-oriented living so they can enjoy a yard.
Townhouses are not the answer for everyone either.
Th ey’re not as aff ordable as their purchase price suggests because of strata fees, levies and the challenge of working within a strata council.
Since, according to the Delta
Housing Task Force, the average family size in Delta is now less than three, we need to try a hous-ing type that is extremely rare in Metro Vancouver, but which some designers, planners and environ-mentalists have been calling for decades: Smaller fee simple homes on smaller lots.
Th e Delta Housing Task Force Report pointed out that the many houses built in the ’60s, ’70s and ‘80s in Delta are about to be either demolished or extensively renovated. Now is a great time for Delta to embrace new ideas.
For example, someone who intended to demolish an older home could be encouraged to build three small, innovative homes in its place as a pilot project or even as part of a design competition.
If most retirees and empty-nesters could become potential micro-developers, we would not end up with “cookie cutter” small homes, but rather with a variety of small houses of diff erent types built over time by diff erent people.
Once a few of these units were actually built, people would be able to recognize the wisdom and beauty of smaller ground-oriented living.
Delta could become one of the most desirable places in Metro Vancouver for ordinary families to live in, if we’re willing to discover that small is beautiful when it comes to fee simple homes.

Canadian education
doesn’t compare
THE RECENT column by Tom Fletcher refl ects what I have been saying for many, many years.
It is time people wise up and no longer believe the lies told by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation that their priority is our children’s education instead of their paycheques.
I am a classic example of how low our level of education has fallen.
I was raised in Holland and became a high school drop-out in Grade 10 having very poor grades.
At age 42, I was required to present a Grade 12 Equivalence Certifi cate to enter my compa-ny’s machinist-tool and diemaker apprenticeship.
Without attending any more classes, as suggested by Vancouver Vocational Institute, I passed all tests “with fl ying colours.” Another test showed that my intelligence rated in the top fi ve per cent of Canadians.
All through my fi ve-year appren-ticeship I was in the top three of my class joined by another appren-tice of the same country.
Both of us were amazed that we only needed half the time than others (of which, some had just completed high school) to fi nish our assignments.
How poorly our children are educated... I found out earlier when my daughter started algebra and trigonometry in Grade 11, something I started back home in Grade 7 – as well as French, Eng-lish, German and Dutch.
I further attended 18 diff erent compulsory subjects each week, including, book-keeping, three hours of P.E. and more.
Our seven subjects each day were 55 minutes long with a fi ve-minute class change, making it seven hours of learning each day with lots of homework for almost all subjects as well.
All this is a far cry for the part time our students attend schools in B.C. and the poor education they receive, including many of the useless subjects they are allowed to choose.

THE AVERAGE Delta hom-eowner will pay an additional $115 in fees and taxes this year.
A Delta resident with a home assessed at $536,000 in 2011 will pay about $55 more in property taxes, as well as $60 more for utilities.
On Monday, Delta council approved staff ’s 2011 fi nan-cial plan and an overall tax increase of 2.98 per cent.
Th e hike includes a 2.48-per-cent increase for general municipal services and a 0.5-per-cent increase for additional police staffi ng.
Delta’s director of fi nance Karl Preuss said staff origi-nally presented a higher tax increase but council asked them to revisit it.
Th e $250-million fi nancial plan for 2011 includes $164 million budgeted for operat-ing costs and $86 million for the capital plan.
Of the capital costs, just under $59 million is bud-geted for new infrastructure projects, including energy and greenhouse gas emission reductions at the Ladner Leisure Centre, South Delta Recreation Centre gym refurbishment, a facility for the Delta Community Animal Shelter (which is looking for a new home away from the incoming South Fraser Perimeter Road), and funding toward Ladner Harbour sedi-ment management.
Th e remaining $27 million is set for already approved
projects continuing from past years.
Mayor Lois Jackson noted many of these infrastructure projects take advantage of stimulus funding from senior levels of government last year, allowing Delta to spend “one-third dol-lars” on projects it would have had to undertake eventu-ally.
Delta will also be dipping into its surplus to take advantage of early debt payout opportunities for money borrowed for drainage issues in 2001 and 2002.
Preuss said in his report to council the move means Delta can pay off its debt by 2018, fi ve years ahead of schedule.
Coun. Bruce McDonald said that would be a “really major achievement,” recalling Delta was $68 million in debt when he joined council in 1988.
Council plans to continue its “pay-as-you-go” policy established in 2002 of no new external debt for capital projects.
Some of Delta’s increased costs at the operating level are due to the municipality’s new legal secondary suite
regulation program, increas-ing safety standards at aquatic facilities, and police staffi ng.
As for utilities, water, sewer and solid waste rates jumped from $800 for a single family home in 2010 to $860 this year, said Preuss.
Of that $60, he said $50 is driven by regional increases and $10 at the municipal level due to infl a-tion and contrac-tual obligations.
Jackson said costly regional projects such as upgrading two sewage treatment plants (Lions Gate and Iona Island) and a senior government-mandated new water fi ltration system means regional costs will be passed on for years to come.
At the meet-ing Delta staff also estimated tax and utility rate increases for 2012 to 2015 – 2.5 to three per cent and $45 to $50 per year,
respectively – based on anticipated needs, contract commitments, inflation, new growth estimates, and Metro Vancouver’s long range plan used to project regional costs for utilities.

BOB BOSE said rumours of his political demise have been greatly exaggerated.
It’s long been thought, and recently published, that the veteran Surrey councillor will not run in this November’s civic election.
It’s patently wrong, says Bose.“It’s absolutely untrue, I’ve
made my commitment to the Surrey Civic Coalition (SCC) and I’ll be seeking their support,” Bose said.
Th eir support is a given, as the party recently voted to allow incumbents and uncontested nomination.
Bose confesses that acting as sole opposition on council takes a toll.
“It’s very exhausting, because there’s no let up,” Bose said. “Th ere’s nobody to tag-team with you.”
Nonetheless, he’ll keep at it because he sees there’s still work to do.
“It’s still a challenge for me, and as long as it’s a challenge, I can keep going,” Bose said.
His party, the left -leaning SCC, took a hit last week when two members of the party quit to join a new coalition on the board
of education called Surrey First Education.
Bose said the party still has tremendous interest and good candidates in the running for next month’s nomination.
“Surrey Civic Coalition is going to do just fi ne I think,” Bose said.
A healthy democratic system needs an eff ective opposition to ensure mat-ters are properly debated, he said. It’s a concept he
believes the public understands, and points out there may be some “surprises” in the Novem-ber election.

THE CANDIDATES who spent the most campaigning during last fall’s municipal byelec-tion in Delta received the most votes at the polls.
New Coun. Ian Paton, who got 33.89 per cent of the vote, was backed by the Delta Indepen-dent Voters’ Association (DIVA), an electoral organization which also supports Mayor Lois Jackson, Coun. Scott Hamilton, and Coun. Robert Campbell.
DIVA received $41,050 in campaign contributions for Paton from numerous donors, including $3,000 from Alpha Aviation, $2,000 from Westshore Terminals, Talisman Homes, Millenium Pacifi c Greenhouses, and Highmark Homes and $1,000 from Shato Holdings, among oth-ers. Many smaller dona-tions (up to $500) were made by people and businesses in the local farming community.
DIVA’s expenses totaled $38,167.42.
Candidate Sylvia Bishop, who placed second with 27.28 per cent of the vote, received a total of $33,969.52 in campaign contributions, with the largest contributions coming from herself ($5,258.76) and CUPE B.C. ($5,900), which is listed as a campaign organizer.
She also received many small contribu-tions from a long list of individual donors,
including $100 from Delta-South MLA Vicki Huntington, $200 from Delta-North MLA Guy Gentner, and $200 from the grassroots organization Save the Southlands.
Th e remaining candidates’ fi nancial disclosures, in order of how they did at the polls, were as follows:
• Maria DeVries – 2,176 votes, $20,718.34 in contributions ($16,711.91 from herself), $17,799.12 in expenses.
• Sandeep Pandher – 1,590 votes, $14,025.59 contributions and expenses.
• Amy Ghuman Sara – 1,441 votes, $8,650 in contributions, $8,472.55 in expenses.
• Kathleen Higgins – 1,137 votes, $2,675 in contributions, $2,819.15 in expenses.
• Peter Harms – 164 votes, $4,182.19 in con-tributions and expenses (all out of pocket).
• Ray Robinson – 82 votes, zero in contribu-tions/expenses.
It’s debatable whether the amount of money spent during an election is directly related to electoral success.
In Richmond’s last municipal election, candidate Cynthia Chen spent almost $40,000 but failed to win a seat on council, although other successful candi-dates had more modest budgets.
Every candidate is required to submit a campaign fi nancing disclosure statement within 120 days of the
general election. All statements are now available on the Corpo-ration of Delta web site (visit http://elections.corp.delta.bc.ca).

TRANSLINK MAY install digital billboards on some of its properties to pull in more cash.
Th e idea is under consideration by the TransLink board, which was recently briefed on the potential.
Spokesman Ken Hardie said the transportation authority will look at what locations might be suit-able for billboards, particularly electronic ones.
“We owe it to everybody to have a good look at it,” he said. “Every dollar we raise that way is a dol-lar we don’t have to raise from taxes and fares.”
TransLink already raises at least $9 million a year through advertising but aims to pull in even more.
LED billboards have brought big-screen video-style outdoor advertising to select spots in Vancou-ver and the North Shore.
Th e City of Surrey has also approved digital bill-boards for the approaches to some of its bridges.
Hardie stressed the concept is in its early stages and had no details on how much revenue could be earned or where TransLink might install billboards.
“We have many, many locations where there’s high traffi c, with many people going by,” he said.
But TransLink could conceivably look at park-
and-ride lots, exteriors of SkyTrain stations and even places where overhead rapid transit guideways cross major roads.
Canada Line operators previously sought to install digital billboards outside rapid transit sta-tions in Richmond, but the idea was rejected in 2009 by council, with the mayor calling the displays hazardous to vehicle traffi c.
Th e Richmond proposal involved 10-by-10 foot LED screens at two stations as well as 360-degree digital information kiosks at ground level.
Existing displays in Metro Vancouver include 11-by-22 foot LED billboards outside BC Place Stadium and larger 14-by-48 foot displays installed by the Squamish Nation on reserve land at the approaches to the Burrard and Lions Gate bridges.
Lamar Transit Advertising president Byron Montgomery confi rmed he is advising TransLink on the matter but could not comment further.
TransLink also recently added advertising to its monthly transit passes.
Hardie said riders “grumbled a bit” but the ads bring in $84,000 a year, enough to pay for the print-ing of the passes.

by Jeff Nagel
KWANTLEN Polytechnic University students have voted 65 per cent in favour of adopting a TransLink U-Pass, but with a major wrinkle.
Th ey intend to run their own shuttle ser-vice between the four Kwantlen campuses in Richmond, Langley and Surrey (Newton and Cloverdale) – paid for through an add-on fee that conveys other benefi ts as well.
Th eir planned MultiPass would cost Kwantlen students $40 a month, with $30 of that going to TransLink. Besides unlimited regular transit service and the inter-campus shuttle, students would get a gym membership, a delivery discount on organic food and access to on-campus car rent-als.
Kwantlen Student Association spokesman Nathan Griffi ths said the shuttle will cost an estimated $500,000 a year but is critical to the plan working.
“It’s going to revo-lutionize the culture on campus,” he said.
“TransLink has been unable or unwilling to fi ll that need and the student association has stepped up.”
Kwantlen students previously complained TransLink service was too ineff ective south of the Fraser to make the standard $30-a-month TransLink U-Pass attractive enough.
Th ey even staged a beat-the-bus race last fall that saw a runner go from campus to campus faster than a student who took the bus.
Now that the Kwantlen referendum has passed, the KSA is aiming to have the U-Pass in place by May and the Multipass com-ponents, including the shuttle, ready for next September.
TransLink spokes-man Ken Hardie said TransLink isn’t yet in a position to off er enhanced service to serve Kwantlen students but applauded their ingenuity in craft ing an enhanced pass.
“Th ey get full marks for creativity and think-ing beyond the box on that one,” he said.
Kwantlen is the
last major institution to adopt the U-Pass, ending fears that its stu-dents might be left out.
Students at Vancou-ver Community Col-lege, Douglas College, Emily Carr University of Art and Design and BCIT have all voted already to adopt the U-Pass, now reduced in price to $30 a month aft er the province mandated a standard, consistent rate for all.
Th e institutions that already have the U-Pass – Langara, Capilano University, UBC and SFU – will have to vote again before September to adopt the new system.
For UBC and SFU students, it will mean an increase in the monthly price they pay, from around $25 to $30.
Hardie said Trans-Link is tightening up administration of the passes to prevent abuse.
“We had experienced a lot of misuse of passes, students selling them, passes being reported lost and then replaced and then the suppos-edly lost passes showing up in circulation some-place else.”
Instead of one U-Pass good for an entire term, students will now get a series of monthly passes that they’ll display along with their student card.
Th at will change once TransLink’s smart card system arrives in 2013.
By then, student cards will include a U-Pass chip that will be detected by the new system.
Kwantlen students vote for customized U-Pass
Will run own inter-campus shuttle

Th e group of doctors, nurses and support staff volunteer to provide free reconstructive plas-tic surgery for cleft lip and palate deformities to children in need.
Led by plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Kimit Rai since the non-profi t society’s formation in 1998, ORC has performed surgeries on more than 1,800 children in 28 mis-sions in countries such as Cambodia, India, Mexico, the Philippines and Lebanon.
Each mission involves the coordination of surgeons, pediatricians, anesthesiologists, nurses (pre-op, OR and recovery) and support staff , along with the shipping surgical equip-ment, lights, anesthesia machines and drugs, antibiotics and other supplies.
Most recently, the mission coordinator was Surrey nurse Rema Nair.
Last year’s China mis-sion came with its own set of unique challenges.
Hundreds of patients showed up at the hospi-tal, which kept society chairperson John Buis busy taking photos of the babies and children to keep track of the faces during in-take
and post-op.Translation, name and
pronunciation diffi cul-ties made it necessary to use numbers.
Baby #22, for instance, had a bilateral cleft lip as well as a cleft palate that will require more surgery in the future.
Quick to smile before the surgery, the young-ster woke up from the two-hour surgery look-ing confused but with only a couple of small scars on his upper lip.
Some patients required more than one surgery over the course
of the 10 days.Th e mission was so
successful, says Rai, that the Chinese hospital asked ORC to return to teach local doctors and nurses how to do their own surgeries.

Buis, a handlebar-moustacheoed 34-year member of the RCMP – who coincidentally was promoted to Staff -Sergeant/Major while airborne on the way to China – became involved with ORC through his own need for reconstruc-tive surgery.
Buis was shot in both thighs while on duty in Burnaby in 1979 and required seven surgeries over the next decade – all performed by Rai, who worked at Royal Colum-bian Hospital.
Th e two got to know each other well over the years.
Buis’ experience with two United Nations missions in Bosnia and East Timor would help ORC deal with bureaucracy and logis-tics in two of its latest missions.
Rai, a Malaysian Army surgeon in the 1960s, turned to recon-structive surgery aft er meeting a Canadian doctor and getting a fel-lowship in the specialty in a Canadian hospital.
In the early ‘90s, Rai travelled with a fellow surgeon on an American mission to the Philippines.
“We did some sur-geries on cleft lip and palate patients and I felt really charged up,” he says in his Vancouver offi ce. “I felt really good at fi xing children.”
A year later, he con-vinced four Canadian nurses to come with the same American group.
Over time, he real-ized he could push the Canadian medical community to better represent itself.
Several years and many discussions later, ORC was founded – supported by fundrais-ing and volunteers.
So far, two 10-day missions have taken
place each year, but that may soon be reduced to just one due to a com-bination of the stressful nature of the missions and a lack of money.
Each trip costs about $28,000 in supplies alone, and up to $70,000 including plane tickets, food and accommoda-tions (if the latter two are not provided by the host country, which is sometimes the case).
Oft en, ORC supplies are left in the hospital for locals to use once the team departs.
In one case, surgi-cal drapes were left as sheets on the bare-wire post-op beds in a primitive Cambodian hospital.
Just one mission, in Indonesia in 2009, would be described as unsuccessful.
“Everything was organized and we were ready to oper-ate, but somehow the local anesthesiologists couldn’t get along,” explains Rai. “Th ere was friction between our doctors and their doctors.”
Aft er not being able to get permission to be responsible for the
patients, the ORC group took the next fl ight out.
“Out of 28 missions, I don’t think one failure is too bad,” says Rai.
In general, the Cana-dian volunteers have been welcomed with
open arms – followed by post-surgery smiles.
“When we go to the countries, we teach (medical staff ) pediatrics, we teach them nursing, we teach them how to operate, we teach them post-operative recovery. We also take our own residents who are training in plastic surgery from Canada to learn, so there’s an education component to that.”
Gratitude for ORC volunteers has been shown in many
diff erent ways: A lot of toasting took place
in China. In Mexico, they received wrapped gift s. In India, they
were hugged oft en. In the Philippines, they got baskets of fruits and vegetables. And in Lebanon came pista-chios.
“Th ey’re very pleased to see you because you’re treating their children,” says Rai.
“Th ey were tickled pink to have us there,” volunteer videographer Gary Hanney said of the China mission.
In March, Operation Rainbow returns for a second time to the Himalayas.

INDERJIT Singh Reyat is appealing his conviction and nine-year sentence for perjury in the Air India bombing trial that ended with the acquittal of his two alleged co-conspirators.
He was the only person ever convicted and jailed in Canada in connection with the
1985 bombings that killed 329 passengers on Air India fl ight 182 over the Atlantic Ocean and two baggage handlers at a Tokyo airport.
Reyat, the admitted bomb maker, was sup-posed to testify for the Crown at the 2005 trial of Ripudaman Singh
Malik, the millionaire founder of the Surrey Khalsa School and the Surrey-based Khalsa Credit Union, and co-accused Ajaib Singh Bagri, a sawmill worker from Kamloops.
Reyat was found to have lied 19 times under oath in the trial
in an attempt to hide his knowledge of the conspiracy.
He had already served 10 years for manslaughter in the deaths of the Tokyo baggage handlers and a further fi ve years for manslaughter and aid-ing in the construction
of a bomb in the fl ight 182 bombing.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan said Reyat’s testimony “imparted nothing of assistance” and the eff ect of his perjury on the outcome of the Air India trial is “incalcu-lable.”
Because of the lack of certainty of what might have happened had he testifi ed truthfully, the judge said, he could not hand down the maxi-mum 14-year sentence for perjury. Reyat made a statement of regret at his sentencing.
“No words in any language can ever bring closure to those who have lost loved ones as a result of the Air India and Narita tragedies,” he said.
Reyat got credit for time served in custody, reducing his sentence to seven years and seven months.

Trial orderedHusband accused of killing
Tejinder Dhanoaby Sheila Reynolds
A SURREY man has been ordered to stand trial in con-nection with the alleged murder of his wife last year.
Tejinder Kaur Dhanoa, 32, was initially reported missing in early January, 2010. Th e police investiga-tion led to a home in the 13000 block of English Place in the Newton area, not far from Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Th e woman was found dead at the home.
Kamaljit Singh Dhanoa, 33, was arrested shortly aft er and charged with second-degree murder. At the time, police said it was a case of a domestic dispute that turned violent.
Th e trial was ordered following a preliminary hear-ing of the evidence in Surrey Provincial Court that concluded last week. Th e case will be heard in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. A hearing to set the trial schedule is slated for March 10.

OUT OF 43 police complaints requiring action last year, seven of them were regarding Delta’s municipal force.
Th e Offi ce of the Police Com-plaints Commissioner released its annual report showing that it reviewed 958 complaints about police conduct in all municipal (non-RCMP) police forces last year.
Most of those complaints were for excessive force (mostly without a weapon, followed by use of an impact weapon, pepper spray, Taser and hand-cuff s).
Th at was followed by complaints of oppres-sive or abusive conduct, inadequate investiga-tion, rude behaviour and unlaw-ful arrest.
Of the 43 complaints con-cluded last year, the seven in the Delta Police Department (DPD) included the following:
• Offi cer failed to properly control his police dog, resulting in a bite to the complainant’s upper thigh. It resulted in a writ-ten reprimand.
• Offi cer unlawfully searched a complainant’s vehicle. Th e offi cer received a verbal reprimand.
• Offi cer unlawfully searched a vehicle and used off ensive and abusive language with the
complainant. Offi cer had to take search and seizure training and received managerial direction.
• Offi cer conducted an unlaw-ful search of a vehicle, but was directed to by a senior offi cer. He received advice regarding future conduct.
• Offi cer failed to fully inves-tigate a drunk driving off ense
involving another member. Resulted in a written reprimand.
• While off -duty, an offi cer was involved in a minor motor vehicle accident and given a 24-hour roadside suspension. Result was a two-day suspension without pay and direction to attend professional counselling.
• Offi cer pointed his service revolver at
a driver during a traffi c dispute. Result was a written reprimand.
Sgt. Sharlene Brooks, media spokesperson for the DPD, said the report shows there’s a healthy set of checks and balances.
“Obviously, police offi cers are held to a higher standard, which we understand and accept,” Brooks said. Given the off enses listed, she said, it gives the DPD the opportunity to off er further training and development of the offi cers.
Delta had the second-highest number of complaints of the cit-ies listed in the report.
Vancouver’s police department had 12 actionable complaints last year, New Westminster faced fi ve, Victoria, Saanich and West Vancouver all had four, the Transit Police had three, Central Saanich had two and Nelson and Abbotsford both had one.
Separately, Th e Leader has obtained fi gures from the Com-mission for Public Complaints against the RCMP.
In 2010, preliminary fi gures indicate there are 116 complaints against the Surrey detachment. Th ose numbers oft en contain more than one allegation per incident, and unlike the above numbers for Delta, are not inves-tigated as of yet.
Th e bulk of those allegations were neglect of duty (41 allega-tions), improper attitude (40), oppressive conduct (29) and 21 allegations of improper use of force.
Th e provincewide total was 249 complaints against the RCMP for improper use of force.
RCMP Asst. Comm. Fraser MacRae said while he’d rather have no complaints, he’s not con-cerned about Surrey’s numbers.
Surrey has close to a mil-lion contacts with the public annually, “many times could be described as adversarial situ-ations,” MacRae said. “People have a high expectation of pro-fessionalism from police, and so they should.”

JUSTICE BRUCE COHEN will have an extra 14 months to get to the bottom of the mystery of the dwindling Fraser River sockeye salmon.
His inquiry into the downturn has been granted an extension, with a fi nal report now due by June 30, 2012 instead of this spring.
Cohen cited the complexity of the commission’s work, the diffi cult and time-consuming document disclosure process and large number of participants in obtaining more time.
Th e commission’s budget is also increasing, from $14 million to an estimated $25 million.
Hearings are now slated to run until at least September.
Th e commissioner is to make recommendations on improv-
ing the future sustainability of the sockeye fi shery, including potential changes in policies, practices and procedures of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO).
Th e delay has caused anger among First Nations that are close to treaties that can’t be concluded until the federal gov-ernment signs off on guaranteed shares of the salmon fi shery.
Six treaty tables where agreements-in-principle are close are in limbo because Ottawa won’t fi nalize treaty fi shing rights until it receives Cohen’s fi ndings, according to Sophie Pierre, chief commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission.
“Because of the delay, what we’re concerned about is the growing debt First Nations are facing,” she said, referring to the loans aboriginal groups must
incur to cover their negotiating costs.
“We have First Nations negotiating tables that are fast approaching the tipping point where what they’re going to get in terms of a cash off er for self-government is going to be less than what they owe for going through these negotiations. So what’s the point?”
Th e judicial inquiry was called aft er the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run, when just over a million fi sh returned, about a tenth the expected number.
A huge return in 2010 of around 30 million Fraser sock-eye is thought by most experts to be an anomaly, possibly due to an Alaskan volcano fertil-izing the ocean and supercharg-ing the food supply for juvenile salmon.

CAN THE NATURAL electricity found in electric eels be con-verted into enough usable energy to power iPods, BlackBerrys or even laptops?
Th at is the question posed by Jiwan Toor, a 16-year-old Grade 11 student at Fleetwood Park Secondary.
Toor is the second semi-fi nalist selected in the Choose Science, Go Far, Win Big contest, held by the B.C. government’s Year of Science program.
Based on the popular TV show MythBusters, the Year of Science video contest asked young people to upload videos of their ideas
for science experiments or myths to be tested.
Toor, one of six eventual semi-fi nalists, loaded his video idea onto www.youtube.com/yearofsciencebc
“Is there a way to convert this natural, beautiful way of electric-
ity and transfer it into a source that we could use it into to power our
devices?” Toor asks in the one-and-a-half-minute
video.Using special abdominal
organs, electric eels are capable of producing a shock of up to 500 volts and one ampere of current (500 watts).
Toor’s experiment, in which conductors will be put into water to capture the energy the eels produce, will be carried out at the Vancouver Aquarium over
the next few weeks.Th e grand prize in the contest
is a $25,000 scholarship. Semi-fi nalists automatically receive $250.
“Jiwan’s idea raises some inter-esting points for discussion, and that’s what the Year of Science is all about,” said B.C. Minister of Science and Universities Ida Chong.
“We want to encourage young people to think about issues of importance to them, ask questions and look for answers. Th at’s how we encourage them to become the next generation of B.C. scientists and innovators that are so important to B.C’s future.”

DELTA farmers are hoping to curb a short-term, get rich scheme that has the potential to ruin good farmland.
Delta Coun. and long-time farmer Ian Paton is ringing the alarm bells on some farmers who are accepting truck loads of fi ll – oft en from construction sites elsewhere in the Lower Mainland – which are being dumped on local farms in exchange for heft y fees.
Th e practice, Paton said, can be extremely lucrative for farmers, but is short-sighted and can all but render the soil unusable.
Paton said the lure is money – about $80 to $100 a truck load – with some farmers accepting a string of them so that the payoff for a single day could earn them about $2,000.
“You look at the construction sites in Downtown Vancouver and Burnaby and they are digging down into the ground and pulling up all kinds of stuff like rocks, bits of concrete and even asphalt to put in underground parking for big build-ings,” Paton said. “All of that material has to go somewhere.”
Th at somewhere is farms up and down the Fraser Valley, including some that are suspected to be in South Delta.
Paton said there are some legitimate reasons to allow dumping fi ll on farmland. Building up retention dikes for cran-berry farming is one.
Even then, he is
suspicious of some operators who claim that’s their end goal, but have yet to show a true indication of actual farming.
“I call B.S. on some of those guys,” Paton said. “And it really pisses off the long time farmers here who are committed to soil-based agriculture.”
Paton said those off enders are simply ruining some of the best soil in the province for short-term gain. Th e potential is also there for contamination from harmful substances in the fi ll material.
Delta Farmers’ Institute president and former provincial agri-culture minister John Savage said the problem rests with the inability of B.C.’s Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) to adequately police the farms to prevent the dumping and sanction those who have allowed the mate-rial to be deposited on their property.
Savage said the ALC has just two enforce-ment offi cers for the entire province.
Local bylaw offi cers are already spread thin, Paton added, and don’t have the time to investigate the situa-tion, leaving the fi elds relatively wide open to be abused.
Raising the alarm
Construction fi ll is being dumped at Delta farms in exchange for hefty fees

Brunch at Café Zen or Sophie’s Cosmic Café. Shopping at an eclectic yet hip mix of boutiques, shops and businesses. Walking or running along Kits Beach, nearby parks, or the world-famous Seawall, all complemented with panoramic ocean and mountain views. Purchasing fl owers, fresh fi sh and a steam-ing coff ee at Granville Island, and checking out who’s performing next at the Arts Club Th eatre. Heading to the always-popular Naam restaurant or Nevermind or Hell’s Kitchen for supper before meeting friends at Th e Cellar Jazz Club or perhaps, the Frog and Firkin or Jeremiah’s Neighbourhood Pub.
“No more excuses for a lazy aft ernoon,” says Rennie Marketing director of marketing Linda Chu, referring to the lifestyle in the coveted Vancouver community of Kitsilano. “Th ere’s just too many options when you live here.”
Chu is excited about a new-home project Rennie is involved with in Kits, one of the most sought-aft er Vancouver neighbourhoods for homebuyers.
Entitled Kits 360, the Intergulf Developments proj-ect is a boutique collection of high-end residences situ-ated at the top of a hill at Burrard and Seventh, off ering sweeping views of downtown, False Creek and beyond.
It is also steps away from West Fourth restaurants and shops, Kits Beach, Granville Island, Fift h Avenue Cinemas and South Granville shopping, Chu notes, which “makes living at Kits 360 simply the best.”
“Immediate access to transit and Burrard bike lanes means Kits 360 is all about living green and living time-effi cient,” says Chu.
When complete, Kits 360 will feature more than 250
new homes that are ideal for fi rst-time buyers, couples, downsizers and small families. Fresh, contemporary architecture will feature multi-stepped roofl ines to aff ord more views from more units; the U-shaped con-crete design is lighter and airier than others in the area.
Large green roofs and an extra large community rooft op deck – with amazing city and ocean views, year-round – are off ered to homeowners, among other outdoor spaces, and a relaxing refl ection pond runs the entire length of the lush central courtyard.
“We’ve always said when it comes to real estate, it’s about the location and this one is a winner across the board,” Chu says.
Homes start from $349,900, “an incredible value for this location.” Previews will start in early March and sales start March 26.

WITH JUST TWO weekends left in the B.C. Hockey League regular season, Surrey Eagles forward Brad McGowan fi nds himself in the thick of the league scoring race, just one point shy of Salmon Arm’s Mike Hammond.
It’s a position McGowan, 20, has found himself in before.
Two years ago, as a member of the Richmond Sockeyes, the Langley native lost the scoring lead on the last day of the season, but his disap-pointment was quickly soothed, as his team went on to win a national Junior B title.
Needless to say, he wouldn’t mind the same thing happening again.
“I’d like to get it, sure, but I won’t be devas-tated if I don’t. It’d just be a nice feather in my cap,” he said.
“Later on in life, it’d be nice to look back and be able to say that you were the leading scorer, but we’ve had such a good year as a team, and I’d trade it for a (long) playoff run, defi nitely.”
With six games left on the sched-ule – beginning tonight (Friday) when the Eagles take on the Powell River Kings at Hap Parker Arena – McGowan has 32 goals and 82 points; Hammond sits fi rst with 83 points, and Cowichan Valley’s Jordan Grant trails just two points back, at 80.
And if it’s possible to put up more than a point-per-game quietly, McGowan has somehow managed to do it. He’s been named BCHL player-of-the-week just once - for the week of Oct. 18-25 – aft er tally-ing nine points in three games, but has otherwise just gone about his
business quietly.“He’s done it consistently. He
hasn’t had that 18-point weekend where he gets named player-of-the-week. He just quietly puts up one or two points a game and goes about his business,” said Eagles head coach Matt Erhart.
“Th at seems to be his MO – he just comes to work every night. He’s been consistent all year, and it’s pretty rare where he doesn’t get a point.”
McGowan, who had 46 points last year, in his rookie season, is quick to credit the team – and the coaches –
for his success.“I was more of a
third- (or) fourth-line guy last year and didn’t get the power-play time I’ve got this year,” he said.
“I didn’t really quite expect to be putting up this many points, but it’s been a little bit of luck, and the coach has
thrown my out there on the ice a lot, and I’ve just been taking advantage of the opportunity.”
He’s also found renewed chem-istry with 19-year-old Richard Vanderhoek, a fellow Langley Minor Hockey alum. With the one-year age diff erence, the pair played together every second year as they came up through minor hockey.
“It was peewee where we kind of realized we played well together,” said Vanderhoek, who has played on the same line as McGowan all season, save for a brief spell when he left the Eagles for the Vancouver Giants, only to return soon aft er.
“We’re kind of the same type of player. I always know where he’s going to be out there, and he knows where I am. We trust each other out
there,” Vanderhoek added.Th e third spot on the Eagles’ top
line has been something of a revolv-ing cast of characters throughout the season, as Jeff Vanderlugt, Dale Hunt, and Daniel Gentzler have all been slotted alongside the Langley pair. And this weekend, Semiahmoo Minor Hockey product Michael Stenerson is expected to see time on the line, too.
“We’ve had a couple guys shuffl e through there on the other side, but it seems like whoever we put there scores goals, so it’s been nice,” Erhart
said. Th at productivity, the coach said,
is largely a result of McGowan, who came into the season expecting to take on a much larger role in the off ence.
“Over the summer, we challenged him to show up in great shape. He was coming into the year as a 20-year-old, uncommitted school-wise, so he knew it’d be a big year for him,” Erhart said.
“You could tell that he put a lot of work in. He came into training camp with a lot of confi dence, and
I think he put up four points in our fi rst intrasquad game.”
And for what it’s worth, Erhart said he believes McGowan when the forward insists the scoring title isn’t forefront in his mind.
“Somebody would be lying if they said it wouldn’t be nice if they won the scoring title, but I know he won’t put himself ahead of the team in order to do it,” Erhart said. “Scoring titles are a one-year recognition, but winning lasts a lifetime. Brad wants to win.”

Mystic Maiden established herself as the “Sweetheart of Fraser Downs’ in 2010 by winning 15 of 17 starts, increasing her lifetime record to 20 wins in 22 starts.
So what better place for a “Sweetheart” to be than entered as the favourite in Sunday’s $35,000 Miss Valentine Stakes as the featured race at Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino?
Mystic Maiden made her fi rst start as a 4-year-old on Jan. 30 and captured the $12,500 Filles & Mares Open as a tune-up for the Miss Valentine pace. Trainer Justin Currie obviously liked what he saw and gave her the week off, hoping for a repeat performance with Jim Marino once again in the sulky on Sunday. Dave Hudon had been Mystic Maiden’s regular driver but Hudon has his own entry in the Miss Valentine with Sky Sunny.
Marino’s playing a hot hand of late. He found the winner’s circle fi ve times this past weekend, including a hat-trick Friday. Marino, Hudon and Mike Hennessy will be representing B.C. in the Western Regional Driving Championship at Fraser Downs on Feb. 26.
It’s funny how these things go. Hennessy narrowly beat out Dave McKellar and Scott Knight for the available Team BC third spot. For Knight, it was a case of too little too late. He scored a driving triple this past weekend. Had he done the same in the third week of January, Knight would have qualifi ed for the Western Regional fi nal, based on the driver standings as of Jan. 23.
And how about this? Fraser Downs GM Ken Stratton and Director of Racing Jackson Wittup have confi rmed that all eight drivers competing in the Western Regional Championship Feb. 26 will be donating their driving fees to the Surrey Association for Community Living in the Cloverdale/Surrey area. Talk about good sports! And it gets better. Stratton and Wittup tell me the drivers’ contributions will be matched by Fraser Downs management. Good goin’, guys.
Marino, Hudon and Hennessy will be the home-town heroes against Alberta’s Ketih Clark, Gerry Hudon and Brandon Campbell, Saskatchewan’s Glen LeDrew and Manitoba’s Dallas McKee.
CLOSE LINES: It took 10 husky men to manually deliver the two ceiling-mounted giant screens that have been installed in the Clubhouse at Fraser Downs. They weigh 500 pounds each and are now permanent fi xtures for viewing of Saturday night Canucks games, UFC specials and events such as last Sunday’s Super Bowl telecast, where a huge crowd gathered after the early-morning (10:15 a.m.) racing start.
Racing resumes Friday (7:00 p.m.) with 115 p.m. starts Saturday and Sunday. See you there!

‘DISCO DICK’ is headed for the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame.
Longtime PGA Tour golfer Richard Zokol, a Surrey resident, was named Tuesday as one of two new inductees in the hall, joining longtime Royal Cana-dian Golf Association executive director Stephen Ross in the 2011 class.
“It’s all still a little overwhelming, and hasn’t sunk in yet. You don’t really plan for these things, they just kind of happen,” Zokol said Wednesday.
“I remember last year there was a bit of an outcry in the golf community when I wasn’t inducted, so
the thought (of being inducted) had crossed my mind from time to time, but still, you never expect it. It’s
quite an honour.”Zokol, 52, spent 22
years in the PGA, win-ning twice – the 1992 Greater Milwaukee Open and the ‘02 Deposit Guarantee Classic.
“I’d have to say, those two wins on the PGA in 1992 were really the pinnacle of my career,” he said.
He also won the 1984 Utah Open, and the 2001 Canadian PGA Championship, which was a Nationwide Tour event at the time.
He also earned notoriety – and the ‘Disco Dick’ nick-name – when on tour in the early ‘80s, he wore headphones and a walkman on the course, as a way to calm his nerves while he played.
Zokol, who grew up playing out of Van-couver’s Marine Drive Golf Club – which he fi rst joined in 1971 and where he is now an honourary member – had success at the amateur and college levels, too.
As an amateur, he was a member of Canada’s 1980 World Amateur team, and in 1981 won the Cana-dian Men’s Amateur Championships. Th at same year, Zokol cap-tained Brigham Young University to an NCAA team championship.
And though he lists the two PGA wins as career highlights, he says many more mem-orable moments come into sharper focus as the years go by.
“Th ere’s just so many highlights, but when you start to look back, you think of the long practice hours, and the desire, but also the sacrifi ces people made along the way – my par-ents, and for the last 25 years, my wife,” he said.
Zokol will offi cially be inducted into the hall during the week of the RBC Canadian Open, which will be held at Vancouver’s Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club.
Fellow Canadian golfer Mike Weir, who will play at the Open, is scheduled to speak at Zokol’s induction ceremony.
Th ese days, Zokol runs the prestigious Sagebrush Golf and Sporting Club, near Merritt, which he also co-designed.

A WEEK AFTER settling for a draw knocked the Surrey United Firefi ghters from fi rst place, the Vancouver Metro Soccer League team moved back into the top spot aft er their rivals met the same fate.
The Coquitlam Metro Ford Wolves were held to a 1-1 draw on the road Friday night against West Vancouver, allow-ing United to slip past them in the Premier Division standings with their convincing 4-0 deci-sion over Delta United Satur-day afternoon in Cloverdale.
Surrey, the defending Premier Division champions, moved one point up on the Wolves with a 16-3-3 (won-tied-lost) record. Both teams have four games to play, including a head-to-head match tomorrow (Saturday) at 3 p.m. at Town Centre in Coquitlam.
The Firefighters wasted little time taking a lead on Delta, scoring after just five minutes when Andrew Proctor tapped in a cross from Mason Webb.
Surrey doubled their lead
just before the break when a shot from Rizal Ganief was deflected by former United defender Shawn Blakeway, now in a Delta uniform, for an own goal.
Angus Burke added his league-leading 16th goal of the season 10 minutes into the sec-ond half, then Proctor notched his second of the game on a cross from Jeff Clarke.
Paul Shepherd made a num-ber of outstanding saves for the shutout.
Delta remained in third place in the Premier Division, finish-ing the week four points up on both Richmond FC Hibernians and Columbus. Delta defeated the last place Serbian White Eagles last Wednesday (Feb. 2), overcoming a 2-0 halftime deficit. Mike Gomes netted a pair for United, with Harprett Khakh tallying the wining goal and Garrett Peters scoring an insurance marker.
Delta will host ICST Pegasus Sunday at 2 p.m. at John Oliver Park.
Pegasus kept their hold on sixth place in the 14-team Premier Division after they
played to a scoreless tie with Richmond FC Friday night at Newton Athletic Park.
Andy Singh kept the fourth-place Richmond squad from scoring, helping Pegasus stay one point ahead of West Van-couver.
The Punjab Hurricanes won for the seventh time in their first season in the Premier Division, blanking Westside 1-0 Saturday in Vancouver. The Hurricanes, in 10th place and four points up on both Sapper-ton and Croatia FC.
Josh Bennett scored the game’s lone goal, converting from the penalty spot after Manvir Brar was fouled in the penalty area with less than five minutes to play.
Sheldon Steenhuis earned the shutout for the Hurricanes, who will host seventh-place West Vancouver tomorrow at 6 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park.
■ North Delta United remained in seventh place in the Premier Division of the Fraser Valley Soccer League after a 2-1 loss to Athletic Club. Steve Otten was the lone scorer for North Delta.

ADVERTISING FEATURE
L Signs, N Signs, and now M Signs?Under BC’s graduated
licensing rules, ‘Learners’ must display the offi cial red ‘L’ sign and ‘Novices’ the offi cial green ‘N’ sign on the back of their vehicle, clearly visible to drivers behind them. These labels indicate the driver is not fully accredited and is subject to special restrictions regarding blood alcohol content—zero for both stages, the number of passengers, and others.
The tendency is to be ‘up’ on all these rules and restrictions while going through the graduated licensing program—parents of teen participants likewise—but then to happily ‘fi le’ them away once the ultimate goal, the Class 7 licence has been obtained. Apart from occasionally noticing an unusually creative way of displaying the sign—an upside down ‘L’, an ‘N’ turned into a ‘Z’, a twisted, torn, cracked or homemade sign, it’s probably fair to say that most drivers have too many other demands on their attention to fully register and recall the full import of these labels.
But even if law enforcement is (or becomes) their primary purpose, these labels still serve as notice to drivers in the vicinity of the learning driver to take extra care. To this end they are helpful: no more guessing required—this particular driver merits extra watchfulness. And in this regard they are likely much more persuasive than “baby on board” stickers.
This issue of labeling drivers—now a commonplace, the graduated licensing program having been in effect since August 1998—has twice come up in the news recently. In late December 2010, the media
reported that a driving instructor with 37 years experience operating driving schools in the BC interior and on Vancouver Island claimed that dozens of parents in northern and central BC were telling their teens not to display the mandatory N decal because they feared for their safety on deserted,
unlit, rural roads. The story quoted one father as saying, “The N makes them a target.”
Both the RCMP and ICBC said they had not heard of new drivers refusing to display the decal, and doubted that the decal made them ‘targets’. The driving instructor who was the source of the story pointed out, however, that “Unless the novice driver is breaking the law or suspected of being drunk, there is no reason for police to pull the driver over and thus discover that they should be displaying the N.”
The second refl ection on the usefulness of driving labels was a ‘stunt to spark discussion’ by the Abbotsford police in which they publicly ‘unveiled’ a mock ‘M’ for mature driver. Their purpose: to highlight that in the last two years in Abbotsford, contrary to the trend, the average age of the drivers involved in 22 fatal collisions was 40, and there were no teen fatalities. The ‘M’ label is a warning said the police that “middle-aged drivers need to be vigilant when it comes to driving behaviour.” A riff on this stunt in the Globe & Mail produced driving labels for all the remaining unused letters of the alphabet.

When Mani Amar staged an abduction for his new fi lm, it was realistic enough that some witnesses called 911.
Th e fi lmmaker estimates about 20 units of the Surrey RCMP, includ-ing a police helicopter and a dog team were dispatched.
Amar isn’t sure why the worried onlookers didn’t notice the fi lm crew that was recording the whole thing, but when someone drove by shouting about a woman being shoved into a van, he realized what had happened and called the police.
“Th ey were pretty unhappy.”Aft er that, he made a point of alerting the RCMP before he staged anything that
looked criminal.Th ere are a number of such scenes in Footsteps Into Gangland, the new fi lm by the
28-year-old Amar that recently wrapped principal photography.A just-released trailer shows an abduction, a physical confrontation in a parking
lot, a gas station robbery and a police takedown, all as authentic as Amar could make them.
It was important to make the movie as real as possible for Amar, whose previous project was A Warrior’s Religion, an award-winning documentary about gangsters.
It was just as important for 24-year-old actor Mannu Sandhu, a Surrey resident who plays a victimized teenager caught up in the criminal lifestyle.
Sandhu’s life is nothing like her character’s.Th e occasional fashion model has a degree in political science and once worked as
an executive assistant to Surrey MP Nina Grewal.But in her current job as a corrections offi cer, Sandhu oft en deals with abused young
women like Mya, the troubled 17-year-old she plays.She says the emotionally intense experience of acting the part has given her new
insights into the inner life of young women who have the same mix of fear and anger as Mya.
“I actually felt like I was there, that I was that girl,” Sandhu says.“It was disturbing.”Amar is full of praise about Sandhu’s commitment to making her portrayal as genu-
ine as possible.Th e very fi rst scene he shot was a violent assault on Mya.
It took 39 takes until Amar got the realism he wanted, throwing Sandhu around himself to demonstrate how rough it needed to be.
She is not the only standout performance in the fi lm, Amar adds.“Th ere’s a lot of young, raw talent out there,” he says.“Th ey were willing to work for next to nothing. And some of them did work for
nothing.”It was a guerilla-style low-budget shoot in Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby and Horse-
shoe Bay with a small crew and a short schedule, but Amar’s insistence on doing as much on location as possible produced unexpected benefi ts, such as a moment where a passing train sounded its horn at the exact moment a weapon was fi red, covering the noise.
“Right when we did the sound cue for the gunshots.”Th e moment stayed in the fi lm.“Sometimes the magic just happens.”Amar wrote the screenplay for Footsteps during the three years of researching and
shooting his documentary. Based on the extensive research he did for A Warrior’s Religion, his follow-up fi lm
aims to present an accurate portrayal of the gangster lifestyle.Unlike the documentary, which Amar funded himself through a mix of credit
cards and working several jobs, he originally had money lined up – a commitment of $98,000 from some would-be backers – for the new fi lm.
Amar was debt-free and in the middle of pre-production when the people with the money read his treatment (a plot summary) and pulled out.
“Th at’s what credit cards are for,” Amar shrugs.As he winds up post-production work on Footsteps, Amar is already considering his
next project, which could be another documentary, one about infanticide in India.
Th e offi cial website for the movie is www.footstepsintogangland.com. Th ere is a Footsteps Into Gangland page on Facebook, and updates are posted on Twitter under “fi lmsoffi re.”
Public screenings of Footsteps Into Gangland will take place March 21-23, 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. at the Surrey Arts Centre, 13750 88 Ave. Tickets are $11. Th e fi lm is rated 18A.

A SURREY high school grad has one more item to add to her list of accomplishments.
Shylo Sharity has been named the top per-former in a talent contest leading up to the annual Variety Club Show of
Hearts.Th e 22-year-old’s
acoustic performance of Th e Story by Brandi Car-lile was enough to win over the judges at the Variety’s Got Talent con-test held last Friday (Feb. 4) at the Red Robinson Th eatre in Coquitlam.
Sharity was named the winner among the top 11 performers picked from as many as 300 people who auditioned online
for the contest.Th e singer, who was a
2006 graduate of Pacifi c Academy in Surrey and is in her fi nal year of a communications degree at Trinity Western University, described the scene inside the sold-out theatre as “crazy.”
And the assessment comes from a young woman who’s no stranger to the stage.
From bands to church musical groups to stand-ing alone on stage with a guitar or just a micro-phone in her hand, Shar-ity has been performing in front of live audiences since she was six years old, including touring with Winter Harp.
Th ese days, however, her focus is more on writing and recording, she said over the phone during a break between university classes.
Although she has plenty of original music at her disposal, Sharity was advised to sing something people would know for the competi-tion, as opposed to one of her own composi-tions.
She rehearsed for a week and posted her audition video.
Sharity chose the
Carlile piece, she said, because it fi t her style.
When she’s just sitting around and listening to music, she prefers more “hardcore” tunes, Sharity said, naming Paramore and Th e Devil Wears Prada as a couple of her favourite acts.
But when she’s writing and singing, the result is a more “jazzy acoustic fl are.”
“It’s more acoustic pop
— fun and young and something girls my age can relate to.”
And because all her friends play and sing, Sharity is able to com-bine her social life with a chance to collaborate with other young artists.
Over the past 16 years, she has racked up a few screen credits as well, appearing as a singer in the television series Dead Like Me and earning roles in made-for-television movies Door to Door, starring William H. Macy and Kyra Sedgewick, and School of Life, starring Ryan Reynolds.
However, the young performer has put her acting career on the back burner for now.
“I’d like to (pursue a career in music). It’s not the easiest road, but anything is possible,” she said.
Th e Variety Club Show of Hearts telethon airs on Saturday and Sunday, and while Shar-ity’s uncertain whether she’ll sing (the Feb. 4 performance will be shown, she believes) she will be interviewed as part of the annual fund-raiser for B.C.’s special needs children.

bbbaaatthhhrroooomm ssaaffeettyy ttiippssAvoid a fall with the these safety tips:
Always keep a safety grid or rubber backed bathmat outside your shower.
When balance and strength are an issue, a bathtubtransfer bench is essential. This is a large benchwhere two legs sit inside the tub and two legs sitoutside the tub allowing you to sit down outside the tub.
Use bath stools, chairs and benches (not a plastic patio chair) which have non-slip rubber feet orsuction cups.
Built-in shower seats get slippery when wet – place a folded towel on them for traction.
Suction-cup grab bars are only safe when installed right. Be sure the wall is clean and free of any soapresidue or dirt when installing.
Grab bars: for pulling up from a seated position, place the bar horizontally. For stepping in and out assistance, place the bar vertically. Never installdiagonally.
Do not trust your safety to the shower curtain rod,the towel rack, the soap dish or the washcloth rackin the shower. These were designed to hold a wettowel at the most... and anyone needing grab barassistance weighs more than a wet towel.
We recommend having grab bars installed by aqualifi ed professional. Safety grab bars and fl oor-to-ceiling poles can be installed anywhere in yourhome to make your life easier. Think about where else, besides your bathroom, you struggle…in andout of your patio door or in and out of your garage? The possibilities are endless!

Sweep dealFOUR SURREY junior curlers, brothers Jordan and Tyler Tardi and Brad and Rhett Hildenbrandt joined more than 600 athletes at the International Children’s Winter Games last month in Kelowna.
Th e two sets of brothers, who had never competed together, represented Surrey on their way to the medal round aft er fi nishing the round robin with a record of 3 and 1. Th ey came in fourth, losing to the Korean team in the semi-fi nal event – who went on to take the Gold medal.
Th e boys had the opportunity to meet other athletes from 39 cities and 15 countries.
Th e six-day event was held for the fi rst time in North America this year.
Simon Fraser University fi rst-year student Derek Herridge is as comfortable sitting back with a great literary work as he is hoist-
ing 120 kilograms over his head.Th e SFU Surrey world literature
student recently netted a gold medal in his 94-kg weight category at the Junior Canadian Weightlift ing Champion-ships.
Herridge had a 270 kg combined lift – 125 kg in the snatch and a clean-and-jerk of 145 kg – that was 20 kg heavier than the second place score.
“I started lift ing weights in high school and realized that I not only liked it, but could do well,” says Herridge, who continues to train at Semiahmoo
Secondary in South Surrey.His championship medal is a fi rst
aft er six years in the sport. His sights are now set on making
the U21 national team and training to qualify for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.
Herridge’s involvement in the sport even piqued the interest of his mother, a school teacher, who took it up and became a Canadian masters champion.
Th ey also share a love of reading – and that’s what has steered Herridge’s academic direction. “I’ve always loved literature. Books were always in my world,” he says.
“I love to read and I love to listen to others read,” Herridge adds, with
favourite works including Th e Barefoot Gen, Th e Unbelievable Lightness of Being, Th e Divine Comedy, and epics like Dante’s Inferno and Th e Odyssey.
It’s not exactly gym reading material. And while athlete students oft en lean towards fi elds like sports therapy, Her-ridge does not apologize that he is not a science guy.
“I’m taking world literature becauseI like it, it’s that simple,” says Her-ridge, who sports a high-B GPA aft er his fi rst semester, and whose social network is largely English and arts program pals.
“Writing can be really intense. But it’s the reading that helps. In class, that’s my strength.”
Champ fi nds school uplift ingSFU Surrey world literature student Derek Herridge won a gold medal in the 94-kg weight category at the Junior Canadian Weightlifting Championships.
Plenty of auction on TVWITH A CREW of nearly 50 volunteers and fi ve hours of on air auctioneering, the 20th-annual Delta Rotary Auction, hosted by Delta TV, raised more than $24,000 in support of local community projects.
“Giving back to the
communities where we live and work is important,” said Wayne Rothenberger, regional manager of Delta Cable.
“Being a part of the Rotary Auction both through Delta Community TV and as a contributor to the auction has been incredibly reward-ing.”
Auction items included Vancouver Canucks tickets,
Delta Cable Internet 30, airline tickets, clothing and restaurant gift certifi cates, all displayed “live” on camera.
Delta Cable’s Deneka Michaud hosted the event.
“Th e success of this auc-tion is possible through the cooperation of a large number of volunteers including Delta Cable and Rotary clubs from Ladner
and Tsawwassen, along with an impressive number of auction items donated by businesses from across Delta,” said Jeff Norris, Rotarian and auction chair.
Delta TV has been a proud supporter of the Delta Rotary Club’s com-munity eff orts for the past 20 years.

Church at a crossroadsTHE CONGREGATION of Crossroads United Church has voted to proceed with the building project that has been in planning for over two years.
The project has been integral to the vision of the congregation since before it was created 19 months ago as an amalgamation of two former United
churches in North Delta. Th e new design was the work of Keith
Sullivan Donald Architects. It transforms the current sanctuary into
the new multi-purpose hall, kitchen, and storage space, as well as adding a new sanc-tuary, nursery and sound room on the back of the property.
Th e project, slated to begin on March 1, will be carried out by Ram Construction, Ltd.
Worship for the congregation of Cross-
roads United Church will continue in the current building on Sundays until Feb. 27 at 10:30 a.m.
All interested former members of St. John’s Strawberry Hill United Church (the founding congregation of Crossroads worshipping at that site since the 1950s) are welcome to attend this fi nal service of decommissioning on that day.
Once demolition and construction begin, the congregation will worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. at the Firehall Centre for the Arts, 11489 84 Ave. Th e offi ce of the church will be housed in a temporary trailer on the church site at 7655 120 St.
Cozy kidsStudents in the Leadership Group of École Woodward Hill Elementary were presented with a certifi cate of appreciation by Lesley Woodman, executive director of DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society. The students collected enough donations of winter clothes and food items for new Canadians to fi t fi ve family-sized vans.

BLACKBIRDS made the headlines when a fl ock of thousands fell from the skies in Arkansas on New Year’s Eve.
Now bird enthu-siasts across the continent are counting the birds – not just blackbirds, but birds of more than 600 species – in the annual Great Backyard Bird Count.
From Feb. 18–21, the event will create an instantaneous snap-shot of bird life across the U.S. and Canada.
Anyone can help by tallying birds for at least 15 minutes on any day of the count.
At www.birdcount.ca, you can enter
the highest number of each species seen at any one time and watch as the tallies grow across the con-tinent.
Coordinated by the Cornell Lab of Orni-thology, Audubon, and Bird Studies Canada, the four-day count typically records more than 10 million obser-vations.
Last year’s par-ticipants reported more than 1.8 million American robins, as well as rarities such as the rustic bunting in Creighton, Sask. Th e rustic bunting is a Eur-asian species that does occasionally wander to
North America.“Whether people
observe birds in back-yards, parks, or wilder-ness areas, the Great Backyard Bird Count is an opportunity to share their results at www.birdcount.ca,” said Judy Braus, Audu-bon’s vice-president
of Education and Centers.
“It’s fun and reward-ing for people of all ages and skill levels – and it gets people outside.”
Th e Great Backyard Bird Count is made possible in part by sponsor Wild Birds Unlimited.
For more informa-tion, including bird-ID tips, instructions, and past results, visit www.birdcount.ca. Th e count also includes a photo contest and a prize drawing for participants who enter their bird checklists online.

AUTISM SUPPORT DOGS, a companion charity to BC Guide Dog Services, is pleased to thank Variety – Th e Children’s Charity, for their signifi cant fi nan-cial support from the 2010 Variety Show of Hearts Telethon.
Variety – Th e Children’s Charity contributed $50,000 towards the funding of four autism support dogs last year.
Breeding, raising, training, and placing one dog costs about $37,000, so the gift covered one-third of the cost of each of these dogs.
“Th anks to the help from last year’s Telethon, we had our best year so far, placing a total of seven dogs with qualifi ed families,” said William Th ornton, CEO of Autism Support Dogs.
“We’re the only one of our kind in Western Canada, and we have a quickly-growing waiting list of fami-lies who would really benefi t from the help our dogs provide. Without the support of Variety – Th e Children’s Charity, this list would have been even longer than it already is.”
The recipient families, volunteers and staff at Autism Support Dogs are looking forward to this year’s telethon with excitement, and hope that viewers donate generously to the campaign.
“Th ere are so many great charities that are funded by Variety – Th e Children’s Charity, and we really hope that the public watch this year’s event and give from their hearts in order to support them all,” said Th ornton.
“We wish the Telethon every suc-cess again this year.”
Tune into the Variety Show of Hearts on Global BC at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 12 to 6 p.m. on Sun-day, Feb. 13 and call 310-KIDS or visit www.variety.bc.ca to donate.
Your donation will help Variety continue to help both children with needs and the organizations that sup-port them throughout BC.
Autism Support Dogs is based in Ladner. For more information, visit www.autism-supportdogs.org
