Broaden foreign worker ban: Sims

By Jeff NagelTh e Conservative government should

extend a new moratorium on the use of temporary foreign workers in restaurants to all low-skilled entry-level jobs, ac-cording to the federal NDP.

Newton-North Delta MP Jinny Sims, the Offi cial Opposition’s employment critic, made the call May 2 at a student forum on the issue in Cloverdale at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.

“You would be amazed at where temporary foreign workers are being used,” Sims told the audience of 60. “I’m not convinced we have a labour shortage and if we do it’s very, very specifi c to certain areas.”

Federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney last month ordered the freeze on new hiring of temporary foreign workers (TFWs) in the food services industry, citing serious concerns from a government investiga-tion into recent allegations of inappro-priate use of non-Canadians.

Sims said a broader moratorium should not apply to agricultural workers or nannies.

She also called for an independent audit of the program, which she said must be highly regulated and enforced to ensure skilled Canadians can’t do work off ered to foreigners who don’t come here through immigration channels.

Enforcement of the TFW program is currently “non-existent” and set to worsen with more scheduled federal govern-ment layoff s, she said.

Th e issue has been promi-nent in recent weeks aft er revelations some McDonalds outlets in Victoria used tem-porary foreign workers from the Phillipines instead of available Canadian workers.

Th e forum at the trades and technology campus was organized by Kwantlen Poly-technic University’s trades students.

Welding student Dustynn Diack wor-ried employers are using the program to fi ll welding jobs in B.C., ahead of quali-fi ed local people who want the work.

“Th is is a potential threat to employ-ment opportunities aff ecting myself and my fellow tradespeople,” he said.

Legacy to be unveiledFamily, friends and col-

leagues of the late Bill Reid will be on hand in Clover-dale next week to honour his many contributions and service to the City of Surrey.

A former MLA, cabinet minister, Rotarian and Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce executive di-rector, and 2013 Citizen of

the Year, Reid was known as “Mr. Surrey” and the unoffi cial mayor of Clo-verdale. He passed away last May, but his legacy will be honoured by the city he loved.

On May 15, mayor and councillors will hold an unveiling ceremony of the Bill Reid legacy project, which includes renaming

a large outdoor venue in his honour – the Clover-dale Millennium Amphi-theatre, which is where the ceremony will be held, starting at 2 p.m.

Surrey is also looking at renaming a street and commissioning a statue in Reid’s honour.

Author serves up third helping of Chicken Soup

By Jennifer LangA Cloverdale mother of two is

celebrating a recent writing suc-cess. Th is spring marks the third time one of Ritu Shannon’s sto-ries has been published in an edi-tion of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series.

Her story, “Blurred Lines,” is included in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Th e Multitasking Mom’s Sur-vival Guide, featuring 101 inspir-ing and amusing stories of moth-ers who do it all.

Two other stories have been in-cluded in previous editions of the bestselling non-fi ction series.

A busy mom herself, Shannon works part-time as a sales rep-resentative, juggling her day job with writing – and family life, which serves as a rich source of material for her writing projects.

Her husband encouraged her to submit the very fi rst story she wrote – a poignant and funny story involving her children, daughter Priya and son, Keegan.

“Big Sister” was published in Chicken Soup for the Soul: Parent-hood, last year.

It recently earned Shannon her very fi rst piece of fan mail – from a reader in Saudi Arabia.

“Th at was a huge surprise,” she says.

Her latest story – once again drawn from real-life experiences as a parent – is included in the chapter, Juggling a Career.

“Blurred Lines” recalls how she and her husband came to a decision on whether she would return to work. She felt torn be-tween the desire to have a career but didn’t want to miss out on a single milestone in her son and daughter’s early years.

“Just One More Minute, Mom-my,” is based around a bittersweet realization involving a bedtime ritual with her daughter, Priya, who starred in Shannon’s previ-ous story. It appeared in Chicken Soup for the New Mom’s Soul.

Since her fi rst story was pub-lished, spurring her on to begin writing again, she has branched out. She blogs for the Beacon News, an independent online newspaper, where she writes about everything from current events to family and parenting issues.

She’s also submitted more sto-ries to the Chicken Soup publish-ing company in hopes of having more of her work picked up by the publishing juggernaut.

“As well, I have fi nally put pen to paper and started working on a children’s book series,” she says. “Th at one is a long way from completion, but it’s always been a dream of mine.”

Th e Chicken Soup books are mainly stories written by ordi-nary people who have had ex-traordinary experiences.

Since 1993, more than 100 mil-lion books in the series have been sold in Canada and the U.S., and have been sold in 100 countries in 40 languages.

FILE PHOTOSaeko Nakayama, Bonnie Nash and Vicki Robinson and the Richmond Weavers and Spinners Guild’s ‘Yarn Birds’ were among four teams who participated in the Surrey Museum’s Sheep to Shawl Competition last year. The teams are given four hours to turn raw sheep’s wool into yarn, then weave it into shawls.

Spinners get wild, woollyTh e Surrey Museum hosts its an-

nual Sheep to Shawl competition this Saturday, when local teams will spin and weave wool into a complet-ed shawl in under four hours.

Th e May 10 event is modeled on a traditional “Sheep to Shawl” or “Sheep to Coat” contests, carried out in sheep-producing countries throughout the world.

Teams prepare in advance, prac-ticing spinning skills and studying the type of fl eece they will use. Th is year, they’ll work from a Merino/blue-faced Leicester cross sheep.

Th e competition runs from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and the winners will be announced at 4 p.m.

Visitors can watch sheep shearingdemonstrations from 1-2:30 p.m. Th ey can also check out the textile studio and Hoosier Textile Library to see spinning and weaving in ac-tion, and view samples and patterns.

Visitors of all ages can try the mu-seum’s spinning wheels, too.

Admission by donation (admis-sion in 2014 is sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum andArchives Society).

Th e Surrey Museum is located at17710 56A Avenue. For more infor-mation, call 604-592-6956 or visit surrey.ca/heritage.

Th e greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime

My name is David Black. I am the majority owner of Black Press,

the company that owns this newspaper. Th is is the fi rst of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our life-time. I am a reasonably sensible and conservative businessman, not an alarmist. All of the infor-mation in this column can be confi rmed from public sources.

Th e oil industry wants to ex-port Alberta bitumen to Asia via tankers. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could de-stroy our coastline, together with the fi sh and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.

Bitumen, even if it is diluted, does not fl oat in sea water if there is sediment present. Th is has been proven many times, most recently in a thorough Environment Canada study published on Nov. 30, 2013. Page 51 of the study provides graphic evidence of sunken bitumen. Given that there is an abundance of sediment along the B.C. coast, the bitumen will sink rapidly and there will be little chance of recovering any of it if there is a spill. By Northern Gateway’s own admission the likelihood of a bitumen spill at sea is over 10 per cent over the next 50

years. Others say that it is much higher. We are in agreement with the position taken by the Coastal First Nations that even the slightest risk of a spill of bitumen at sea is unacceptable.

Th e grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is oft en held up as an example of how bad an oil spill at sea can be, however, a spill of bitumen at sea would be much worse. Th e Exxon Valdez carried light crude and lost 250,000 barrels, one eighth of a tanker load. Th e light oil fl oated and could be removed from the beaches. Even so, aft er four years of work with up to 11,000 workers and 1,400 boats involved, less than 10 per cent of it was recovered. Roughly 200,000 birds and many kinds of other wildlife were killed. Approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline were aff ected and the fi shery has yet to fully recover. Bitumen is very diff erent. It would harden up on shore and much of it would sink to the bottom, making it unrecoverable and killing virtually everything with which it came in contact. Imagine if we lost a full tanker load.

Some say that, with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. Th ey are wrong. Double hulls do not pre-

vent hull fracture if there is a collision at speed, only if there is a gentle scrape. As for the GPS claim, most marine accidents are caused by human inatten-tion, not by a lack of knowledge about position. All ships carried systems to indicate their loca-tion before GPS came along. Th e Exxon Valdez crew could have glanced at their instruments to determine their location but they didn’t, neither did the crew on the Queen of the North. Marine disasters regu-larly occur and a quick search of the internet shows human error is most oft en the problem. Undoubtedly there will be many more marine accidents in future. Our grandchildren will not thank us if we willingly risk the destruction of the B.C. coast on our watch.

Fortunately there is a solu-tion that is benefi cial for all concerned: all we have to do is build a refi nery at Kitimat. Th e refi nery will convert the bitumen to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel which fl oat and evaporate if they are spilled. Oft en little or no spill remediation is required. Th ese refi ned fuels simply do not cause

the habitat destruc-tion of conventional or synthetic crude oil, or anywhere near the devastation caused by bitumen.

Th e second part of this OPED will run in the next issue. It will discuss the enormous value-add benefi ts and environ-mental advantages

of a modern green refi nery. Th e pipeline

from Alberta and the tanker fl eet to export the refi ned fuels will also be considered.

Let me declare my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dol-lars for government coff ers. I am for reducing the planet’s green-house gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fl eet that carries only refi ned fuels that fl oat and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. Th e Canadian gov-ernment makes a decision on this in May.

Shift ing loyaltiesBy Jennifer LangMonica Nelson is a long-time

Cloverdale resident whose active schedule would keep anyone hop-ping.

Ash (Ashlar) is a 22-month-old yellow lab – a sweetheart and kisser who makes his move when Monica bends down to tie her shoes.

“Th at’s when you get the slob-ber!” she exclaims.

Th ree weeks ago, they were strangers. Last week, they gradu-ated as a team – the 106th match by B.C. Guide Dog Services in Ladner.

“He’s just an excellent little work-er and just raring to go,” Monica smiles proudly, nodding towards Ash, lying quietly at her feet.

Th e pair spent 50 hours training in Cloverdale under the guidance of Nick Toni, a veteran mobility instructor and former RAF police dog handler with 21-plus years in the fi eld.

When Monica got her fi rst guide dog in 1998, she could still see the lines of a crosswalk and discern the contrast of grass and sidewalk.

Monica has RP, or Retinitis Pigmentosa, which leads to pro-gressive loss of vision. Diagnosed in her 20s, she gradually lost her sight. A decade and a half ago, she was receiving mobility training at the CNIB when she was identifi ed as a candidate for a guide dog.

To qualify, Monica had to be mobile – able to get around on her own, using a cane – but her vision couldn’t be too good, otherwise she’d lead around any dog.

Aft er taking a successful “test drive” with a guide dog, she was put on a waiting list.

A busy wife and mom – her sons were then aged 8 and 10 – Monica waited a year for a match.

Monica and Anya, a yellow lab/golden cross, became team num-ber three for B.C. Guide Dog Ser-vices, a charity founded in 1996 that provides dogs at no cost to the recipient. Th e group runs breed-ing, puppy raising and training programs, and relies on donors for funding.

Th e dogs reach retirement age when they’re about 10, aft er eight

years of service.“Th at’s the best case scenario,”

Monica says. Quinn, her second dog, is 10. Enter Ash, the newbie, quiet and relaxed, an inert puddle of unstressed warmth on the fl oor until duty calls.

“Th at’s one of the traits they look for,” she says. “Th ey don’t want an overly-aggressive or ac-tive dog, because you’re in and out with people, in stores and build-ings, on transit – they gotta be mellow.”

Training a new puppy takes time. “Th ey live with a fi rst fam-ily for a year-and-a-half, where they get their social training,” she says. “Th en they get their formal training. Th at’s when the trainer

takes over.” About 75 per cent will have what it takes to be a guide dog. Th e rest are placed as pets in permanent homes or fi nd careers assisting people with autism.

Nick Toni estimates between 15 and 20 trained dogs a year by B.C. Guide Dogs meet the qualifying standard.

Dogs are matched with a some-one from the waiting list – pres-ently closed due to the demand.

“Th ere are approximately 11,100 visually impaired people in Brit-ish Columbia alone,” Nick says. “A good majority of those could use or work with a guide dog. But we just can’t.” He notes the charity is

Open for business: Scott Fraser, CEO of Encorp Pacifi c, Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux, Rod Lotzkar, president of Regional Recycling, and Coun. Bruce Hayne perform the ceremonial ribbon cutting at the grand opening of Regional Recycling in Cloverdale May 3. The business will accept free or purchase all forms of appliances, paper, metal, glass, electronics, light bulbs and fi xtures, batteries, beverage containers, paint, solvents, pesticides and some plastics. Regional Recycling operates eight public recycling facilities in Vancouver, Richmond, Burnaby, Abbotsford, Whistler and Nanaimo. The Cloverdale location is at 5534 176 St.


raising funds to build a breeding centre in Ladner to help close that gap.

Finding the right match is essential.“You have to get the right dog who can cope with

the routine and the variables. Ashlar may be very qui-et, lying down at the moment, but when he gets into busy areas, where there’s a lot to do, that’s when he comes into his own,” Nick says.

Ash will have his work cut out for him with Monica. Her boys now married and out of the house, she

volunteers at her church, Zion Lutheran, and helps out at the Surrey Food Bank depot there every other week. And she commutes on foot across busy 176 Street at 60th Avenue.

She takes the 320 bus from Cloverdale to her book club in Surrey Centre and rides the Skytrain to Van-couver, where she volunteers for the CNIB. She also belongs to several other support groups. Add shop-ping trips to stores and malls and you get the picture.

Th e training trio has been learning all of Monica’s routes, walking the streets of Cloverdale and taking transit all over, Monica gradually taking control of the harness from trainer, Nick, while Ash learns to follow a new boss.

“Up to this point, he’s taken his cues from Nick,” says Monica. “It’s diff erent when I hold the harness. He has to learn to trust me. I have to learn to trust him, so we work together.”

From fi nding escalators to locating the button con-trolling the crosswalk, Ash has performed “absolutely great” says Nick.

Monica has had to re-learn instructions and cues, so they’re “by the book” – teams inevitably customize the way they communicate. “Th e pair of them have just matched perfectly,” Nick beams.

He’s worked with about 140 qualifi ed guide dog teams since he began in 1998.

“We live in such a complicated environment now,” he says. “We have busier lifestyles, traffi c conditions, vehicles have changed. With hybrid cars, there’s no en-gine noise. Th ey can be a real hazard – you can’t hear them. Th ings are just more complicated generally, not just for visually impaired people.”

Graduation day (April 29) wasn’t a formal ceremo-ny – it was a fi nal run-through for dog and handler checking all the skills they’ll need to have mastered before the team is signed off , from climbing stairs to crossing intersections on a pre-determined walk.

Only then could Monica pick up Ash’s harness on her own.

Th e days of training behind them, Monica and Ash will be a team. She and Quinn, a black lab/golden cross, were team number 49.

“Quinn, I mean, he’s part of the family,” she says of her retired sidekick. “You think: it’s hard shift ing loy-alties, because I have to, I have to bond with the new dog. But there’s still that bond to the old dog. You can’t just cut ties.”

Fortunately, Quinn isn’t going anywhere – he’ll be a full-time family pet, the same as Ash when the harness comes off . Left at home while the others set off to train each morning, he’s had three weeks to adjust.

“Up to this point, every time I took the harness up, it was his job,” says Monica. “It’s thrown him a curve ball: ‘Aww? How come you’re going out with the other dog? Th e fi rst day, he was wondering what was going on.”

Quinn, she acknowledges, is slowing down. “Th ere comes a point with the old dogs, where they

think, right, let the young whippersnapper do the work,” adds Nick. Th e two dogs, both males, have al-ready become good friends.

And Ash is already part of the family.“It’s funny, when I call one, they both come,” says

Monica. “But they both get their loving – I’ve got two arms. I’ll have one under each arm.”

Lush, green spring is a

wonderful time of year. Life

fl ows into the trees, up from

the garden beds, and even

through the cracks in the

concrete. Beauty blossoms in

our backyards and along the

roadways. Songbirds again

form a choir, as we awake

with the sun. Occasionally,

the weather conjures up a

rainbow, and it seems to

exist merely as an ornament

for us to gaze upon. The last

time a rainbow graced the

sky, my children and I and

rushed outside. My wife

joined us, and there we

stood, soaking up the elegant

colour of the arch, and a few

fresh raindrops.

But why? Why is there

beauty? Why is this good

earth so congenial to life?

Why is there something,

rather than nothing?

Psalm 104 is a hymn to

the Creator. The psalmist

sings to God about His

creatures, “When you send

your Spirit, they are created,

and you renew the face of

the earth.” Life listens to the

voice of its Author. When

God sends rain, the grass

grows, fl owers bloom, and

animals enjoy the fruit of His

life-giving labour. But God

wants to give us life that will

not perish. Listen to Jesus:

“Those who drink the water

I give them will never thirst.

Indeed, the water I give them

will become in them a spring

of water welling up to eternal

life.” (John 4:13) Listen to the

Author of Life.

WWII sea battle honouredA costly, historic campaign at sea was commemorated in

Cloverdale Sunday, as local cadet corps and the Royal Canadian Legion gathered at the Surrey Cenotaph to re-

member the Battle of the Atlantic. Th e 71st anniversary of the battle, waged between 1939 to 1945,

and the more than 4,600 Canadians who lost their lives at sea dur-ing the Second World War, were remembered Sunday in ceremo-nies across the country.

Presented by the Royal Canadian Sea Cadet Corps Mariner, along with other cadet groups, the May 4 ceremony began with a parade from Branch 13 to the Cenotaph in Surrey Museum Plaza, where a roll call of 24 navy ships sunk in the battle were read out. Th e 75 Canadian merchant navy ships that were sunk were also commemorated, along with those who lost their lives.

Th e Battle of the Atlantic was the longest continuous battle of the Second World War, and Canada played a central role. Th e Royal Canadian Navy, Air Force and Merchant Navy helped maintain a supply link between North America and Europe.

Th e battle began on the opening day of the war in September 1939, and lasted until Germany’s surrender in 1945.

Quebec trip aims to inspireContributedHow can a school get students more interested in

learning French? Send the kids to Quebec! At least, that’s the hope of the staff at George Greenaway El-ementary.

In May, 19 students and three staff members (in-cluding teacher Kristen MacDonald and education-al assistant Marcia McNaughton) will be travelling to La Belle Province in hopes that the Grade 6 and 7 students can come back with a greater appreciation of the French language and culture.

At least that’s the goal of third staff traveller, the school’s vice-principal, Bobby Samra.

“So many students see French as just another class,” Samra said.

“It is our hope that the students can go to Quebec and recognize the huge benefi ts of being a bilingual country with such a diverse history. We’d love to have them come back and be excited about study-

ing the language even more.”Th e students have been preparing for the trip for

about a year. In that time, they have been fundrais-ing and presenting and attending seminars on Que-bec, its history, and the French language. “If the stu-dents go into the trip with pre-knowledge, they will have a better appreciation for what they see when they get there,” Samra said.

Th e George Greenaway contingent will be stay-ing in hotels in Montreal and Quebec City (with a couple of groups from Manitoba) for one week.

Th e organizing company, EF Education First, hashelped with the logistics of the whole trip. If all goesto plan, Samra hopes this trip will become a tradi-tion at the school.

“I would love to see our school send kids every two years. Th at would generate a lot of excitementabout French.” And hopefully, he said, students will see French as more than just another class.


CONTRIBUTED PHOTOGrade 6 and 7 students from George Greenaway Elementary are on a school trip to Que-bec this month. Vice principal Bobby Samra, upper left, hopes students will return with an appreciation of the benefi ts of living in a bilingual country with a diverse history.

Down to Hayne and HepnerBy Kevin DiakiwAnd then there were two.Th e race for who will become the mayoral candidate for Surrey

First is now down to two candidates.Th e job for Surrey’s mayor is opening this fall, as Mayor Dianne

Watts has said she has no plans to run for the centre chair this time.

Six elected members of Surrey First – Watts’ creation of a “co-alition of independents” – will decide who the group’s next mayor will be.

Initially, the three in the race were Couns. Tom Gill, Linda Hepner, and Bruce Hayne.

However, Gill said Monday he has decided not to pursue the centre chair this election, saying he does not want to take any more time away from his young family.

He also said he’ll be backing Hepner.Hayne said he is still considering running for mayor.

“I’ve put my hat into that ring,” Hayne said Monday. “I expect we will know in a week to 10 days.

“Certainly if the group asked me to step forward, I would,” Hayne said. “If the group ends up backing Linda (Hepner), or someone else, I’ll support them and we’ll just move forward.”

Hepner has the momentum at this time.Out of the six Surrey First members who will be voting on it,

Hepner has the support of Couns. Mary Martin and Gill.If Hayne can secure the support of Couns. Judy Villeneuve and

Barbara Steele, Watts may have to break the tie vote.Coun. Barinder Rasode has already said she is running for

mayor. She will be facing off against the Surrey First victor.Surrey realtor and businessman Vikram Bajwa has already

publicly declared his intention to run.Hepner said the group will make the results of the Surrey First

vote public in a couple of weeks.Th e civic election is scheduled for Nov. 15, this year.

TransLink earmarks $45mTransLink says it will spend more than $45

million on Metro Vancouver road upgrades thisyear.

Most of the money – $39 million – is contrib-uted to municipalities to maintain and repair sections of the region’s 600-kilometre Major Road Network of arterial routes.

But another $6.7 mil-lion goes to new road and bike projects in 12 munic-ipalities.

Th ey include the four-lane-widening of the Fra-

ser Highway in Langley Township, the Tannery Greenway multi-use pathway in Surrey and theMurray Street bikeway extension in Port Moody.

Th e spending on roads and cycling representsthree per cent of TransLink’s $1.49-billion bud-get, 60 per cent of which goes to transit opera-tions.

Cities get funding from TransLink based on their share of the Major Road Network.

Fraser Health urges more moms to donate milkBy Jeff NagelLactating mothers

are urged to consider donating some of their milk to help others who

aren’t able to breastfeed their own babies.

Fraser Health has opened 10 new human milk donation depots

at public health units in Hope, Agassiz, Mission, Langley, Cloverdale, Guildford, North Sur-rey, New Westmin-

ster, Port Moody and Burnaby, in addition to existing ones in Chilli-wack, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge.

Women who have been screened can collect breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it at those loca-

tions.It’s transported to the

provincial milk bank at BC Women’s Hospital where it’s pooled, pro-cessed and pasteurized.

Most of the donated milk goes to feed pre-mature and sick babies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) who are at high risk of illness and infection.

“With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we are asking all breast-feeding moms to consider giving the gift of health to our most fragile pa-tients by donating their breast milk,” said Fraser Health project devel-opment nurse Sidney Harper.

A devastating bowel disease called necro-tizing enterocolitis is much more common in premature babies that are fed formula instead of human breast milk.

Mothers in some cases struggle to

provide milk or aren’t permitted to as a result of illness or medica-tions they use.

Fraser Health plans to open dispensaries

at Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals to store and provide the donor hu-man milk.

Fran-ces Jones, coordina-tor of the provincial milk bank at B.C. Women’s, said the aim is to meet all requests for donor milk from the NICUs

at Surrey and Royal Columbian.

Th e World Health Organization recom-mends babies get only breast milk until they’re six months old and that they continue to be breast fed with other nutritious foods added until at least two years.

For more informa-tion on how to donate see bcwomensmilkbank.ca.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling

program. The next, something new and rather questionable is

being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it

right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s definitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best

interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big

multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan,

they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold

the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the

Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials

are using the word “scam” to describe how the new

program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several

of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what

you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling

an already-working recycling

program to replace it with

something that few people think

will be as good, is a bad idea.

This Message is brought to you by:

What’s going on here?

Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.

While you’re not looking, this is what’s happening to BC’s world renowned recycling program.


World’s top skaters return to Cloverdale for freestyle event

By Jennifer LangNow in its third year,

the little international skateboard competition that could has become a premier contest for freestyle skateboarding, attracting the world’s top pros and amateurs alike to Cloverdale.

Th e World Freestyle Round-up Skateboard-ing Championships run May 16 to 19 at the Clo-verdale Curling Club, presented once again during the Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair.

Performed on a short, skinny board – like the ones millions of kids convinced their parents to buy them in the late ‘70s – free-style involves technical moves on fl at surfaces. Th ere’s no ramps, rails or stairs.

A blend of artistry, athleticism and preci-sion, the sport demands perfectionism, patience, and practice — lots of practice.

“Th ey’ve put in thou-sands and thousands of hours to their sport,” says senior contest producer Monty Little, a resident of Cloverdale and tireless ambassador for the sport.

Th e smooth cement

surface of the Clo-verdale Curling Club makes it a perfect venue for competitors to showcase their con-siderable talents and expertise.

So far, more than 30 skaters from seven

countries have con-fi rmed, including from Germany, the U.S., Brazil, Japan, China and Canada – where four B.C. competitors will represent the Maple Leaf.

Look for Vancouver’s

Adam Flood, Andy Anderson, Delta’s Ryan Brynelson, and two Surreyites: Andy Anderson, who’s been skating for 14 years, and Dillanger Kane, an 18-year-old who prefers complex tricks, like the no-footed handstand kick-fl ip.

Most are paying out-of-pocket to cover trav-el expenses, notes Little, a pioneer in broadening skateboarding’s appeal in the 1980s.

He says a number of the competitors will be here for the second or third time in a row.

“It’s almost like a skate camp,” he says of the World Round-up. “It’s like a reunion.”

Th ey skate for the love of the sport, and the opportunity to per-form precision tricks in front of an appreciative audience.

Th e past two compe-titions, also presented as part of the Clover-dale Rodeo and Coun-

try Fair, have drawn standing-room-only crowds for four days of competition.

Th ere’s $10,000 in prize money up for grabs, along with prizes from sponsors for ama-teur skaters.

Th e four-day event will see freestyle demos and contests using a battle format, to keep

things moving.All routines are per-

formed in one minute, and judges must render their scores in 15 sec-onds.

“It’s a contest, but we have to make it a show,” says Little.

Freestyle skateboard-ing has been around

since the 1960s but, thanks to competitions like the World Round-up in Cloverdale, it con-tinues to attract new-comers to the sport like Japan’s Isamu Yamamo-to, who started skat-ing when he was 8.

Now 11, Yama-moto is on his way to Cloverdale from his hometown of Otsu City, Japan, where he’s stacked up a bunch of ama-teur titles, including best kick.

Bert Matheson is a 52-year-old U.S. pro who has been skating for 40 years.

“Th ey don’t get the injuries,” ex-plains Little.

Freestyle isn’t as hard on the body as oth-er disciplines, allowing someone like Matheson to remain competitive in his 50s.

Quite a few of the competitors coming to Cloverdale this year are in their 30s and 40s.

“So they’ve put in some serious practice hours.”

It begs the question: what other sport could an 11-year-old dynamo and a seasoned veteran in his 50s be part of the same international competition?

Other stars to watch out for include China’s

Shen Dominick Meng, who saw a movie about skateboarding when he was 13, begged his par-ents to buy him a board, and when they fi nally did (a year later), he had to teach himself all the moves.

“Every trick that I have learned I have learned from watching videos on websites,” he

says in a bio. Aft er a foray into

competitive trail bike biking, he’s back to his true love of freestyle.

Resident artist and designer at the Kemp-inki hotel, Sheng spends three to four hours a day

practicing the sport.Th e World

Round-up is his fi rst skateboard contest.

Imagine his dis-appointment when his Canadian visa application was de-nied. Sheng and Round-up organizer Little wrote letters to the Canadian consulate in Beijing then fi nally Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

“Finally, on April 18th at 5 p.m., I received the good

news that my second application had been accepted.

“Canada, here I come,” he says.

New this year is the Henry Candioti Skate-4-Fun Award, created in memory of one of the world’s top freestyle skateboarders.

Known for his dis-tinctive skating style,

Enrique “Henry” Can-dioti passed away from cancer in 2012.

Th e award, along with $500, will be presented to the freestyle skater who best embodies skating with style.

Henry’s wife, son and brother will be on hand to present the award and to honour his memory.

Th ere will also be static displays on the history of skateboard-ing, photographs by Jim Goodrich, one of free-style’s top shooters, and a corporate display by

skateboard park build-ers. “So when you come, there’s more things to do than just watch the contest,” Little says.

One of the manufac-turers includes the mak-ers of Cloverdale’s new youth skate park, which isn’t offi cially open but will be ready for skaters in time for the Rodeo.

Since the skateboard competition is indoors, the World Round-up will go ahead, rain or shine, for all four days, making the event an audience favourite no matter what Mother Nature has in store for the Cloverdale Rodeo.

Outside the Clover-dale Fairgrounds, look

for freestyle demos at the Cloverdale Bed Rac-es on Th ursday, May 15 (176A Street between 57and 58 Avenues), start-ing aft er the decorated bike contest), the 17thannual Cloverdale Chili Cook-off in Clover Square Village Friday May 16, and at the Clo-verdale Rodeo Parade in the historic town centreon Saturday morning May 17.

Please note: thosefreestyle demonstra-tions are weather per-mitting.

Is it real? Or is it fake?

The trilobite fossil looks genuine, but is it a fake or is it the real thing? Is it 370 million years old, or man made?

To fi nd out, visit the Surrey Museum’s feature exhibition Fakes & Forgeries: Yesterday and Today, an interactive look at counterfeit, forgery and pi-racy.

Th e exhibit, on loan from the Royal Ontario Museum, will be on display until May 24.

For centuries, forgeries plagued the world.

Today’s counterfeiters go far beyond the art market, creating all manner of phony goods: De-signer clothing, jewelry, electron-ics, pharmaceuticals, and even food.

Fakes & Forgeries details a his-tory of forgery around the world and provides handy tips to avoid future.

Th e exhibit showcases 115 real and fake objects, from fossils and Egyptian artifacts to household items and designer name brands.

Visitors are invited to fi gure out which objects are genuine and which are clever imitations – and to discover the fascinating lengths forgers will

take to hoodwink the unwary.Th e exhibit includes a section on counterfeit cur-rency and information about pirated computer

soft ware.“Microsoft is thrilled to be able to contribute to this exciting and educa-

tional exhibit,” said Michael Eisen, Chief Legal Offi cer for Microsoft Canada. “For as long as art has been created and products have been made and distributed, the underworld of forgery and counterfeiting has existed.

“People are still as likely today to let the Trojan Horse through

the gate as they were thousands of years ago.”

Th ere is also a section on counterfeit currency provided

by the Bank of Canada, as well as educational information about pi-

rated soft ware, courtesy of Microsoft Canada.

Th e Surrey Museum is located at 17710 56A Ave. Hours of operation are

Tuesday to Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Admission is sponsored by the Friends of the Surrey Museum. For more information, call

Wait list crisis looms as cutbacks hit surgeries

By Jeff NagelFraser Health has

curtailed surgeries in order to avoid an op-erating room budget overrun despite the fact surgical wait times at its hospitals are already signifi cantly longer than for patients in the neighbouring Vancou-ver Coastal region.

Dr. Peter Blair, direc-tor of the surgical pro-gram for Fraser Health, said the reduction of surgeries since January and February was “only by a few per cent” and not the 20 per cent cut a White Rock orthopedic surgeon claimed last week.

Dr. Arno Smit, chief of surgery at Peace Arch Hospital, told Black Press a waiting list crisis is coming un-less the health author-ity reverses the cuts and authorizes more use of mothballed operating rooms.

Blair said he’s hope-ful Fraser will soon be granted a budget in-crease allowing more surgeries, but said the curtailed surgical pace is continuing for now.

It’s not a budget cut, he said, but a reduc-tion in actual surgeries performed to bring OR spending back down to budgeted levels.

“We realized we were spending money faster than we could,” Blair said of the overspend-ing in the fi rst two months of the year. “We did need to make a sig-nifi cant reduction.”

Th e department has since fi nished the fi s-cal year at the end of March within its bud-get.

Asked if averting a defi cit has driven up wait times, Blair said he hasn’t yet seen any clear evidence of that yet.

But surgical wait time data reported by the provincial govern-ment shows patients at most hospitals in Fra-ser are already waiting considerably longer than those near Van-couver or most other parts of B.C.

Th e two benchmarks the province uses to gauge surgical waits is how long it takes to complete 50 per cent of cases and 90 per cent of cases in each hospital, specialty or region.

For the fi rst three months of 2014 until March 31, Fraser com-pleted half its surgeries within 6.4 weeks – the other half of patients waited longer than that – compared to 5.1 weeks at Vancouver Coastal and 6.0 weeks for the B.C. average.

Ninety per cent of surgeries performed in those months at Fra-ser waited less than 31.3 weeks (10 per cent waited longer), com-pared to 23 weeks for Vancouver Coastal and 28.3 weeks for the pro-vincial average.

Th at indicates pa-tients in Fraser waited

25 to 35 per cent lon-ger than in VancouverCoastal in January toMarch, even though two of those threemonths saw Fraser’s ORs running over-bud-get before being cur-tailed.

“All of us have to be concerned about that,”Blair said of the wait time disparity.

He cited population growth as the main challenge making it dif-fi cult to meet wait time targets.

“We’re the fastest growing health author-ity in British Columbia– 1,200 people a month are moving into Sur-rey alone,” Blair said. “We’ve got the highest birth rate and a high rate of people moving in as retirees into places like White Rock.”

He noted surgicalwaits vary by hospital,by specialty and by in-dividual doctor.

Th e Lower Mainland hospitals with the worst surgical waits in the fi rst three months of the year were Burnaby Hospital at 47.7 weeksto reach the 90 per centcompletion mark, Ab-botsford Regional at 39.2 weeks, 36.9 weeksfor Langley Memo-rial, 36.7 weeks for B.C.Children’s, 35.7 weeks for Peace Arch and 35 weeks for Surrey Me-morial.

As of March 31, Fras-er hospitals had 20,233patients awaiting sur-geries, compared to 17,389 at VancouverCoastal.

A report released in February by B.C.’s au-ditor general showed Fraser Health has the lowest per capita fund-ing per year in B.C. at $1,585 (in 2011-12) – in comparison with Vancouver CoastalHealth, which received$3,008 per capita. Van-couver Island Healthreceived $2,554, North-ern Health received$2,465 and Interior Health received $2,372.

Blair said the ac-tion to rein in surger-ies was a decision of the region’s surgeons, who met to review thethreatened defi cit.

He said it was not re-lated to a fi scal review into Fraser Health or-dered late last year by Health Minister Terry Lake to unravel why the health region has struggled to stay within its budget allocations.– with fi les from Alex Browne
