Th e province is commit-ting $270,000 in one-time funding to a Surrey school program to stop kids from choosing the gang life.

But at least one local politician says it falls far short of what’s necessary to stay on top of the problem.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark was at Surrey City Hall on Tuesday afternoon announce the funding, which will augment the successful Surrey Wraparaound Program (Wrap), which works to re-duce gang-related activity among youth.

As Surrey residents readied for another round of early morning aerial spraying this week to combat the invasive gypsy moth, there’s growing concern about the treatment agent being used.

More than 4,500 hectares in Surrey and another 300 hectares in Surrey-Delta are being treated with Foray 48B.

Th e fi rst set of early morning (approximately 5:30 to 7:30 a.m.) treatments, conducted April

15 to 19 and broadcast by low-fl ying helicopter, caught some people off guard.

Tanya Rowlands said she and her husband de-veloped a sore throat and dry cough, and her dog became ill, requiring an expensive trip to the vet.

“I attribute all of this to the spraying,” she said.She has concerns over the formulation of the

spray agent and is not convinced it’s safe.Another resident launched an online petition

hoping to persuade the B.C. Ministry of Forests to discontinue the aerial treatment.

Ryan Bennett also started a Facebook page asking the B.C. Ministry of Environment to stop the spraying.

“Health Canada says Btk is safe but it’s not Btk we care about, it’s Foray 48B – it reads right on the label that it is not okay for human contact

either direct or by drift,” Bennett said, adding he and his family members have experienced adverse symptoms.

As of Wednesday, the petition had gathered more than 1,225 signatures.

Bennett planned to fi le an appeal with the en-vironmental appeal board but said it was denied, prompting him to organize a protest outside Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux’s offi ce Saturday morning that drew more than a dozen people.

Round two of the aerial gypsy moth spraying, began Tuesday of this week and was scheduled to last four days, with the third and fi nal application beginning May 11.

Shootings in Surrey continue unabated, with the lat-est incident of gunfire – as of The Leader’s press time Wednesday – cracking through the evening air in Whalley on Tuesday night.

At about 10:25 p.m. April 28, Surrey RCMP received calls of shots heard near 88 Avenue and 134B Street.

When Mounties arrived, they found evidence of guns being fired.

A police dog was used to search the area.More evidence of shots being fired was found about a

block away at 88A Avenue and 134B Street.It was Surrey’s 24th shooting in the last seven weeks. Early Tuesday morning, Surrey RCMP were also called

to 94 Avenue and 124 Street to reports of an unknown number of shots fired. There were also reports of people arguing and cars driving erratically.

When Mounties arrived, they found evidence of a shoot-ing at the scene and a man was also taken to hospital with stab wounds.

Surrey RCMP is asking for public assistance, urging any-one who may have seen anything unusual in these areas to come forward and contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS ).

Information may also be reported to a special tip line at 604-915-9566.

On Tuesday, in response to the recent spate of shootings and violence, Delta Police announced that a mobile sur-veillance camera trailer will be installed in North Delta to improve and ensure ongo-ing community safety and to assist with investigative initiatives.

SHEILA REYNOLDS

Less than three months after he was arrested in Surrey for breaching his release conditions, police are warning residents that James Conway, a high-risk sex off ender, will be moving to Delta.

Conway was freed from custody earlier this year, in February, choosing to live in Surrey. But only a week after his release, he was arrested after allegedly sitting beside a 14-year-old on a bus, contrary to his release conditions that he not be near anyone under 18.

On Tuesday (April 28) the Delta Police Depart-ment issued a statement saying the 40-year-old has once again been released from jail and is planning to reside in the Delta area.

Conway has previously been convicted of three sexual off ences against children. His history includes sexual in-terference of a person under 16, sexual assault and arson.

According to B.C. Corrections, he has “maintained a versatile pattern of sexual off ending against female children in a predatory and opportunistic manner.”

Conway is described as Cauca-sian, 6’4”, weighing 276 lbs. with brown hair and blue eyes. He likes to use public transit to get around, police say.

He is being monitored elec-tronically by authorities, is under house arrest and is not allowed to leave his home unless accompanied by a case worker

In total, he is to adhere to 24 court-ordered condi-tions

Conway has breached his conditions more than once before. In April of 2014, he was caught staring at young girls on SkyTrain, looking down their shirts and engaging them in conversation by producing a teddy bear. He was wearing a fi re department hat and golf shirt at the time. He was arrested, charged and convicted of breaching his conditions of release and sentenced to 10 months in jail and three years probation.

Th e targeted areas include most of Clover-dale, from the Langley border to 144 Street, between Highway 10 and 80 Avenue.

Th e spray – Foray 48B – contains the bacteria Btk, which is used to control caterpillars. It kills larvae after they ingest it, but is not tox-ic to humans, or other mammals, plants, birds, fi sh, honeybees or other benefi cial insects. It’s approved for use on organic farms.

While there have been a number of uncon-fi rmed reports on social media of residents with symptoms associated with spraying during round one of aerial treatment, Fraser Health isn’t backing up those claims.

“Fraser Health is aware of only one inci-dent where an individ-ual came to hospital as a precaution after not feeling well after the aerial spraying,” said Tasleem Juma, senior consultant, public aff airs, with Fraser Health.

“We understand peo-ple have concerns re-garding the gypsy moth aerial spraying over Surrey, Cloverdale and Delta,” Juma said, add-ing Health Canada has approved the product for aerial application over populated areas.

“Th e active ingre-dient, Btk, is only

eff ective in a caterpil-lar’s stomach. It is not harmful in humans, livestock, birds, pets, fi sh or bees,” Juma said.

“It’s important to know that if untreated, the moth could cause signifi cant damage to the area’s forests, orchards, farms, and urban trees.”

However, on Monday, “as a precautionary measure,” Fraser Health advised residents to avoid contact with the spray and stay indoors, with the windows and doors closed, for at least 30 minutes after the spray has been completed.

Residents may wish to wait fi ve hours after spraying in order to “air out any concentration of Btk that may have entered the house through air vents or other openings,” said Dr. Lisa Mu, medical health offi cer for Fraser Health.

Th e spray leaves a

residue of droplets that can be removed with water and a bit of scrubbing, but normal weather will eliminate them in about a week, she said.

Also this week, residents received a reminder notice in the mail from the B.C. Ministry of Forests that said people with health concerns can contact HealthLink by calling 811 and can also view a health fact sheet at www.healthlinkbc.ca/healthfi les/hfi le90a.stm.

Cloverdale’s location at the crossroads of Highways 10 and 15 add to the ministry’s concern the moth could expand its territory by “hitchhiking” on human transportation, the notice read.

“Th e treatment area is of particular concern due to the boat, rail and heavy automobile traf-fi c in close proximity to agricultural production

and the U.S. border.”Th e forest ministry

fact sheet says the area where moths have been found is too large to eff ectively treat by ground.

“Public safety is paramount,” it states. “Health Canada regu-lates the use of pesti-cides. Th ey approved the product being used for aerial application over populated areas. Th ey are the experts and we rely on their expertise.”

Th e ministry also noted its public awareness strategy included advertising in English and South Asian newspapers in the application area, making presentations to municipal councils, and holding an open house on March 3 at the Surrey Museum .

Th e moths pose a threat to fruit growers, because gypsy moths eat the leaves of fruit trees – particularly ap-ple trees, and blueber-ries and hazelnuts.

Th e province’s trad-ing partners may set quarantine and trade restrictions on trees and plants.

It’s estimated the program will cost $1.3 million.

For up-to-date infor-mation, call the gypsy moth 24-hour info line: 1-866-917-5999 or visit the B.C. Ministry of Forests website at www.gov.bc.ca/gypsymoth.

Th e unit is self-contained with a 30-foot tower boom that houses four individual high-resolution cameras. Th ey will be in operation 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“Th e cameras are being deployed as a temporary crime deterrence initiative in response to the on-going gun violence across Surrey and Delta,” said Acting Delta Police Chief Lyle Beaudoin.

“We believe they will both deter criminal ac-

tions related to the violence, but also aid us in the investigative process.”

Access to the footage will only be granted following any incident in which it is believed the footage will assist in an investigation, and only at the direction of police inspectors within the Delta Police and the Combined Forces Special En-forcement Unit. Th e unit has been loaned to the Delta Police Department at no cost from a local manufacturer and will be initially deployed at 80 Avenue and 120 Street.

A woman was violently accosted in a retail parking lot in Guildford earlier this week as her assailant tried to steal her car.

Th e woman was attacked at her car in a parking lot in the 9000-block of 152 Street on Monday afternoon.

Th e suspect, a man in his 50s, managed to grab the woman’s keys and then stole her car.

A Good Samaritan tried to intervene, but was struck by

the car as the thief took off .An off -duty police offi cer

also saw the stolen car leave the scene and was able to di-rect police to its whereabouts approximately 12 blocks to the north.

A man was taken into custo-dy by Surrey RCMP near 102 Avenue and 152 Street, and the stolen car recovered.

Th e woman who was at-tacked was taken to hospital with minor injuries. Th e Good Samaritan was also taken to

local area hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

“Even when in busy public areas, always be aware of your surroundings. Keep your head up and look alert,” said Surrey RCMP Cpl. Scotty Schumann regarding personal safety.

Anyone with more informa-tion is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 or Crime Stoppers, if they wish to remain anonymous, at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or www.solvecrime.ca.

Th e program currently serves 60 individuals and the extra funds will allow for another 15 to 20 more.

Surrey Board of Education chair Shawn Wilson is happy to get the funding, but acknowledges he would have liked to see some ongoing revenues for future years.

He said the cash in-jection this year should help reduce the wait list – which stands now at about 40 kids.

Harry Bains, the NDP MLA for Surrey-New-ton, said the funding falls far short of what’s necessary to address the crime problem in Surrey.

In the last seven weeks, there have been about two dozen shootings, one of them fatal. Th e man killed was Bains’ nephew, Arun Bains.

“It is just a quick, knee-jerk reaction,” Bains said of the provin-cial funding. “It is not a real solution to the real problems that our community is facing.”

Bains said more police offi cers are required right away.

“Th ey don’t even have enough resources to put out the fi res,” Bains said about the RCMP’s forced reactionary approach.

Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said the funding is great news for the City of Surrey.

She said she heard from the public at a recent crime forum in Surrey that they wanted more investment in the Wrap program.

“Having identifi ed

that, having spoken with the premier and have it happen so quick-ly, I’m very grateful,” Hepner told the crowd.

She said the request for 100 new police offi -cers this year has been “fast-tracked” by the province and is now in the hands of Ottawa.

“I can tell you there will be a mixture of rookies, new offi cers and those more front-lined offi cers and more seasoned coming to the City of Surrey,” Hepner said. “Some of those offi cers will be going to the RCMP youth unit.”

Th e young people in our communities are our strength. Th ey do wonderful things and they give us hope for the future.

I do sometimes wonder, though, how they can do as well as they do given the examples that are being set for them.

Th ere has been extensive news cov-erage of Lower Mainland youth either murdered, in jail, or wanted by the police because of their poor choices. Th is violence is a result of drug traffi cking and turf wars.

Th is irony was not lost on me, when I watched the news coverage of “4-20,” which celebrates the use of marijuana. Th is event, at which thousands of people lit up a joint, kept the local hospital busy as many of them ended up in the ER due to excessive levels of drug consumption.

I question what message we are sending our kids with back-to-back news coverage

about drug wars and pot parties. In addition to these mixed messages,

our youth are also barraged by media accounts of young Canadians travelling overseas to participate in terrorist activ-ity, and we are updated daily on the civil unrest in the U.S. caused by police use-of-force against mostly young minorities.

Closer to home, we hear about parents that are banned from junior ice hockey rinks, and sports teams that do not even allow parents to attend games due to obnoxious behaviour in the stands.

It is a wonder that our youth know any-thing but pessimism, when you consider the examples we set as adults and the attention we give to negative behaviour.

Th ankfully, the majority of our youth make positive contributions to their com-munities through their schools, sports teams, religious groups, arts and culture.

We don’t talk enough out about these

kids, who aspire to great things and give back through volunteerism. We need to spend more time recognizing those that overcome adversity and challenges, carv-ing positive paths out of diffi cult terrain. It is important to me that we celebrate our youth and recognize that there are far more good than bad.

I am proud to be working with the Rotary Clubs of North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen, to organize the seventh annual Delta Rotary Youth Awards. Th e youth recognized at this event are our future leaders and quietly do good work in their schools, homes, churches and social circles. Th e stories are incredible, from a young woman who raised money to purchase headstones for unknown sol-diers, to a boy who collected and shipped

hundreds of hockey sticks to children in India, to another boy who struggled to overcome the death of his mother – his only support system in the world.

Th ese youth do good without the need to be recognized, they are resilient to the challenges of the world and they are role models for all of us.

On May 14, at the Genesis Th eatre in Ladner, we will be honouring these youth who are more than deserving of recognition. If you know of someone between the ages of 10 and 18 you would like to nominate, please contact Leslie Abramson at [email protected] or 604-946-0672.

Premier Christy Clark has been facing criticism for not speaking out on the ongoing violence in Surrey involving low-level drug dealers.

On Tuesday, Clark took her critics on. She came to Surrey City Hall to meet with Mayor Linda Hepner and then staged an elaborate announcement with Hepner, the RCMP and the school district to announce a number of initiatives to try and deal with the problem.

Th e centrepiece is anoth-er $270,000 for the Surrey Wraparound Program, known as Wrap. Th is program is deliv-ered through the Surrey School District and involves school staff , the RCMP, parents and youth working together in a fairly intense manner. Th e goal is to positively attach youth to school, the community and their homes.

While the additional funds are a step forward, the reality is the Wrap program helps very few young people. It currently serves 60 youth, and the additional funding (which is a one-time grant) will allow it to serve just 15 to 20 more.

Given the thousands of young people in Surrey schools, and the signifi cant number who have trouble dealing with a variety of situations, particularly during adolescence, it is a program that will never be able to meet the potential demands.

On Monday, Surrey-Green Timbers NDP MLA Sue Ham-mell noted that Surrey has just 10 school liaison offi cers, while Vancouver, a smaller school dis-trict, has 16. Surrey RCMP have said they will boost the number of school liaison offi cers when a promised 100 additional offi cers arrive. Th at’s a positive step, and the sooner it happens, the better.

Police in schools is a critical step towards dealing with the challenges faced by many young people. As noted at last week’s public meeting in Newton, many parents are not aware of all their children are up to.

Social media and increased mo-bility have a lot to do with this. Parents rarely, if ever, know all of the people their children are in touch with via social media.

If there are more school liaison offi cers in Surrey schools, those offi cers will be able to observe what is going on. Th ey will, in some cases, be able to get in touch with families and let them know more about what their children are doing.

Parents remain the fi rst line of defence in helping keep young people away from the destruc-tive world of drug dealing. Th ey know their children best and often have other family members who can play a signifi cant role in helping turn things around.

However, parents need help – from police, from the school system and from friends of their children who also become concerned about changes in behaviour and attitudes.

Clark also announced that $318,000 in grants from the civil forfeiture program will go towards crime prevention in Surrey this year. While this is signifi cant, it represents the value of less than one home that has been seized and sold under the program.

Her announcement of an inte-grated network of social, medical and justice service providers, through the Surrey Criminal Justice Task Force, is also a posi-tive step forward. However, one of the best moves to make with young people involved with the justice system, especially fi rst-time off enders, is to have them go through the court process quickly, while the off ence is still fresh in their minds. Given the horrendous delays in securing court dates in Surrey, because it is the busiest provincial court-house in B.C., that will be a diffi cult thing to do.

Th e province’s attention to the challenge is welcome. Unfortu-nately, it is merely a fi rst step.

VIEWPOINT6 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday May 1 2015


It is a very sad thing that another young life has been lost in this danger-ous drug business. For a month there have been so many shootings and everybody knew that such a tragedy would happen one day. But it is really sad that police and family members couldn’t do anything to prevent such tragedy.

Family members who know that their youngsters are in this dangerous business must tell police before such a tragedy happens again. It would be better for youngsters to spend some time in jail and hopefully get away from this dangerous drug business rather than losing their lives.

Even the role of police is questioned. Why can’t they keep an eye on a few of these drug dealers?

Every time after a shooting incident they say they know the people in-volved. If they know them, then why don’t they keep an eye on them and take action before such deadly inci-dents?

Hopefully soon the government, police and family members of these youngsters will do something to prevent another loss of life happening again.

Kanwal Jit Singh Gill,Surrey

With all these senseless, disturbing shootings cur-rently going on in Surrey, I think it’s time for a good news story and I have one for you.

Recently I was having lunch at the Dublin Cross-ing Pub and I was not hav-ing a good day – so much so that I ended up in tears. My boyfriend was with me and was a great comfort and support.

Sitting across from our table was a young couple also enjoying a sunny day and lunch on the patio. When my boyfriend and I left the restaurant, we

walked across the parking lot to the grocery store, and there is where my day/week/year got better.

The young lady that was sitting across from us at the pub came up to me with a bouquet of tulips and said to me “you look like you’re having a bad day” as she handed me the flowers and gave me a big hug and told me it will be all right. Needless to say, I broke out in tears again. It was such an unexpected and touching gesture, I had no words for this wonder-ful lady.

I would like to say thank you. Thank you for making a sad day into something better.

Stay safe, be happy and my best wishes to you.

Despite facing a short-fall of more than $2 million, the Delta School District has balanced its operating budget for the 2015-16 school year.

Delta’s Board of Ed-ucation passed its pre-liminary budget for the coming school year at a public meeting Tuesday (April 28).

Th e district said the shortfall was due to a number of factors, including the carry-for-ward of a $1.5-mil-lion defi cit from the current school year (2014-2015), as well as increased teacher and education assistant staffi ng requirements, infl ation of employee benefi ts and utility costs.

Still, the district managed to balance the books for next year with “limited negative impact.”

About $1.5 million was available to reduce the 2015-16 short-fall through high-er-than-projected reve-nues from the district’s international student program and an alloca-tion of one-time funds from the province an-nounced in December. Th e rest will be covered mostly by anticipated hikes in revenue from international programs, continuing education and investment income. About $100,000 in sav-ings was also found by reducing some clerical and facilities costs at the school board offi ce.

No cuts were made to classroom staffi ng or student programs.

Delta’s budget process was considerably less painful than in past years, when diffi cult and controversial cutbacks were made. Last year, for example, about 17 teacher and education assistant positions were axed.

Under B.C.’s School Act, school districts are required, by law, to sub-mit a balanced budget by June 30 each year.

Elections BC has now received more than 537,000 ballots in the Metro Vancouver transit tax plebiscite, or about 34 per cent of the 1.56 million regis-tered voters.

Of the ballots re-ceived, about 455,000 or 29.2 per cent have gone through Elections BC’s initial screening process to verify the ballot appears valid.

Th e largest numbers of screened ballots continue to come from Vancouver and Surrey, which together account for more than 208,000, followed by more than 41,000 from Burnaby and more than 32,000 from Richmond.

Variations in the return rate among diff erent municipalities are now evening out.

Th e highest rates of ballots returned and screened are now Belcarra (38.1 per cent), Delta (33.7 per cent) and North Van-couver City (33.1 per cent), while the lowest

rates are in Langley City (21.2 per cent), UBC and electoral area A (23.5 per cent) and West Vancouver (23.7 per cent).

Th e deadline for ballots to be received is 8 p.m. May 29, but ballots mailed in late May might not arrive in time and would have to be dropped off at an Elections BC plebiscite offi ce.

Anyone who hasn’t received a ballot, or lost or misplaced theirs, have until midnight May 15 to ask Elections BC for one by calling 1-800-661-8683 or see more info at elections.bc.ca/plebiscite.

Procrastinators who haven’t yet fi led their tax returns have an extra fi ve days to do so thanks to an error by the Canada Revenue Agency.

Th e CRA mistakenly issued a statement last Friday listing May 5 as the deadline for 2014 tax returns instead of the correct deadline of April 30.

But with too many people presumed to be taking advantage of the extended deadline, the government opted to honour it.

“2014 tax returns fi led by midnight on May 5, 2015, will not incur interest or pen-alties,” a statement on the CRA website now says. “Th e CRA sincere-ly regrets and apolo-gizes for any confusion this may have caused.”

Th e deadline has been extended in unusual circumstanc-es before – last year extra time was granted because of a security breach that prompted Ottawa to temporar-ily suspend online fi ling through the CRA website.

Episode One of a currently popular fi lm series, “Th e Bridge” begins with a nighttime close up on the Øresund

Bridge—a ‘body’ carefully placed over the line on the bridge marking the border between Denmark and Sweden. Th is means that both the Danish and Swedish police will be involved; enter the Danish detective Martin Rohde played by Kim Bodnia and the Swedish detective Saga Noren played by Sofi a Helin.

Th e diff erent approaches of the two offi cers are highlighted immediately, Detective Noren commanding closure of the bridge to all traffi c for at least two hours, Detective Rohde responding to the pleas of a woman accompanying her hospital bound husband by waving through their ambulance. Building communications between these two will be the challenge of the drama. All of this is against the background of an outstanding engineering achievement - the steel and concrete structure from which the fi lm’s name derives.

When ‘Th e Bridge’ fi lm series launched in 2011, the ‘Øresundsbron’—the bridge company’s preferred Danish/Swedish composite name for the structure—had been in existence for 12 years, opening August 14, 1999 after four years of construction preceded by four years of planning and fund-raising.

Th e Øresund Bridge provides a fi xed link crossing over the Øresund strait, a western channel into the Baltic Sea fl owing between Malmo, Sweden on the east and Copenhagen, Denmark on the west. At 16.4 km (10 mi) in total length, the structure is made up of three components. Starting at the east (Swedish) side, the actual bridge component consists of a

steel girder extending the full length supporting a four-lane roadway on top of a deck for two railway tracks. At the centre are three cable-stayed sections—the longest cable-stayed main span in the world (490 m) for both road and rail traffi c. On both approaches, concrete piers every 140 m support the girder.

At approximately 12.4 km towards the western (Danish) side, the road and railways descend onto the artifi cial island of Peberholm (Pepper Islet)—the Danish chosen name complementing the natural island of Saltholm (Salt Islet) just to the north. From here they enter a 4 km long, 20 m high, and 500 m wide immersed tunnel running beneath the Drogden Channel and emerging at the artifi cial peninsula at Kastrup, Denmark. Peberholm is a designated nature reserve built from Swedish rock and the soil dredged up during the bridge and tunnel construction.

Th e Øresund Bridge connector tunnel is the longest immersed tube tunnel for both road and rail traffi c in the world made from 20 prefabricated reinforced concrete segments, the largest in the world at 55,000 metric tons each, interconnected in a trench dug in the seabed. Inside the tunnel are fi ve side-by-side tubes: two for railway tracks, two for roads, and a small fi fth tube for emergencies.

Great world cities are known for their iconic bridges. In 2002 ‘Øresundsbron’ received the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering ‘Outstanding Structure Award’ recognizing” the most remarkable, innovative, creative, or otherwise stimulating structures completed within the last few years.”

In terms of traffi c fl ow unimpeded by collisions, the bridge design seems to be achieving the intended safety goal. Th ese days, bridges like ‘Øresundsbron’ and Canada’s eight mile long Confederation Bridge between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, are safely providing vehicular connection countries and regions on a scale unequalled in the history of engineering marvels.

Delta Mayor Lois Jackson won’t say how she has voted in the transit tax referendum but she rejects suggestions she is now on the “no” side.

Delta council decided against fi nancially supporting the “yes” side and instead requested public feedback. It found 60 per cent of the 200 respondents indicated they’d vote no, while 10 per cent leaned toward yes and 30 per cent were undecided.

Jackson’s neutral stance has led some oth-er Metro mayors to conclude she is now the fourth “no” mayor in their ranks, joining West Vancouver’s Michael Smith, Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan and Maple Ridge’s Nicole Read in

opposition to the proposed sales tax increase.

“No, I’m straight down the middle,” Jackson said in an interview.

“I think it’s up to the people to decide what they want. In my community, people don’t appreciate being told how to vote.”

Basic information on the plan and the plebiscite went out to Delta residents

with utility bills at a cost of $5,000 to the

municipality. In contrast, Vancouver, Surrey and New Westminster councils are spending up to $200,000 each to bolster the more than $6 million in yes promotion by the Mayors’ Council.

Jackson was absent for the vote on the Metro mayors’ transit vision last June, saying later she supported it, and voted last December to go to referendum on the 0.5-per-cent regional sales tax.

Th e Delta mayor said she is not recanting that vote.

Th e proposed sales tax option was the best choice available to the mayors compared to other sources such as a vehicle levy, she said.

“I believe the plan is probably the best plan that we can find at the moment,” Jackson added.

Jackson said the yes side has been hurt in Delta by opposition from other Metro mayors to the province’s plan to replace the Massey Tunnel with a new bridge – broadly supported in Tsawwassen and Ladner – and by TransLink’s refusal to rein-state direct buses to Vancouver that now connect to the Canada Line instead.

While there’s little in the plan for Delta, Jack-son noted most of her city’s residents travel elsewhere in the region and improvements in other cities will help them get to their destina-tions.

She acknowledged the broad opposition to a new tax but said she hopes her constituents carefully consider the issues from both a local and regional perspective.

“Th e downside of not having a yes vote is that it will be a long, long, long time before we get anything else. I hope people consider this when they’re voting.”

Jackson said she believes the public would be more supportive today if all the mayors’ deliber-ations about crafting the transit plan and which tax source to use had been thrashed out openly, and not behind closed doors.

EXTRACTING B.C.’S NATURAL GAS TO PRODUCE LNG

A SPECIAL SERIES ON LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS

Hydraulic fracturing is a tried and tested way of accessing natural gas.

100% of natural gas wells have multiple layers

of steel casing cemented in place to protect groundwater

98.5% of the fracturing fluid is a

mixture of water and sand; the rest is additives, many of which are found in everyday

household products

85% of all new natural gas wells in B.C. are hydraulically

fractured

18-150 metres: Typical depth of potable water sources and domestic wells in B.C.

Typical depth of a hydraulically fractured natural gas well in B.C.:

2,000-4,500 metres

Hydraulic fracturing is not new to British Columbia. It has been used for nearly 60 years to extract natural gas safely and efficiently. The natural gas industry, including hydraulic fracturing, is regulated by the BC Oil and Gas Commission, which employs hydrologists, agrologists, geologists, reservoir engineers and environmental analysts who ensure that the industry is following B.C.’s laws and regulations. The Commission also hosts fracfocus.ca, a website that provides detailed and objective information about hydraulic fracturing in B.C.

The BC LNG Alliance is the voice of British Columbia’s new LNG export industry. Our mission is to foster the growth of a safe, environmentally responsible and globally competitive LNG industry in British Columbia and Canada.

Not that they needed it, but Surrey-based Lyric Singers has a reason to celebrate. Twenty reasons, in fact.

While the choral group is currently in its 21st year, the choir is marking 20 years of performance.

Th e group was found-ed in 1994 by Marjo-rie Boerma, a Surrey resident who believed there was an audience for choral music in the community. She placed a newspaper ad and gathered enough talent for three separate choirs.

Eventually, the three choirs folded into one and after nine years, Boerma resigned to move to the U.S.

“My emphasis fi rst and foremost was on a variety high-quality repertoire, and bring-

ing in singers with po-tential, teaching choral and vocal technique,” she recalls.

“We often tackled tough pieces, always putting on enjoyable and well performed concerts. I had the time of my life in the nine seasons I conducted the Lyric Choirs, and am so grateful it has carried on so splendidly.”

Following in Boerma’s footsteps was Nancy Rahn, who is the cur-rent artistic director of the group. Lyric Singers

remains focused on performing the best choral music, past and present, supporting Canadian composers and striving for excel-lence as it performs its extensive repertoire in Surrey and throughout the Lower Mainland.

Th e group’s Boar’s Head Madrigal Dinner is a huge hit and the group has collaborat-ed with world-class musicians including Rita Costanzi and Heidi Kreutzen, as well as members of the

Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Phoenix Chamber Choir and Electra Women’s Choir.

A concert celebrating two decades is sched-uled this Saturday (May 2). Called Th e Best of Lyric, it takes place at Holy Trinity Cathedral (514 Carnarvon St., New Westminster) at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20.

Poor Frederic. While still a babe in arms, his nursemaid Ruth misheard an instruction to apprentice him to a pilot – a worthy pro-fession, charged with guiding ships safely in and out of harbour channels – and instead apprenticed him to a pirate.

It’s the crux of the

young man’s dilemma in W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan’s droll Victorian operetta, Th e Pirates of Penzance.

While he’s pondering the imminent end of his term of servitude, due to expire on his 21st birthday, his colleagues – a theoretically blood-thirsty crew of freeboo-ters – are marauding in the distinctly unlikely surroundings of a gen-teel resort in Cornwall.

Now the reprehensi-ble crew is set to invade another coast – Th e Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock, to be exact – in Fraser Valley

Gilbert & Sullivan Society’s (FVGSS) latest production, running until May 9.

Th e Pirates of Penzance brings togeth-er an ace creative team – including artistic director Jaqollyne Keath, musical director Timothy Tucker, cho-reographer Carol Seitz – and a winning cast of new faces and longtime favourites eager to capture all the potential of the material.

Producer Dann Wilhelm takes the role of reluctant apprentice

Frederic, while Lyn Verra-Lay, also wearing the hat of assistant producer, has one of her biggest on-stage roles as Ruth, the nurse-turned pirate maid of all work. As the only woman in Frederic’s life thus far, she said, Ruth is now seriously contemplating becoming his fi ancée.

Complicating her ro-mantic plans are seaside resident Major General Stanley (Jim McGroar-ty), the “very model of a modern major gener-al,” and his numerous daughters (technically “wards in chancery”) including the fair Mabel (Terelle Klose), who wins Frederic’s heart.

Also featured are James Walker as the pirates’ lieutenant Samuel, Brad Dewar as the sergeant of the uniformed ‘bobbies’ dedicated to defeating the local outbreak of piracy, and Kathleen McGroarty, Katherine Lozada and Melissa Pa-ras as daughters Edith, Kate and Isabel.

King, had to drop out of the show – but, fortu-nately another regional theatre stalwart, Arne Larsen, has agreed to step into the part.

Pirates is a notable show for numerous reasons, Verra-Lay said, noting that the gala performance on May 1 will include a reunion of cast members from the 1995 FVGSS produc-tion, marking the 20th anniversary of the pass-ing of musical director and performer Gary McGill, whose name lives on in an annual scholarship award pre-sented by the society.

Notable for Verra-Lay is the chance to fi nally play a lead, after years of chorus roles and producer chores and serving on the FVGSS board.

“I came to the society in 1988 – I said ‘that looks like fun,’ ” she remembered. “Eight years later I became president.”

But she has to admit that she’s thrilled to be playing Ruth.

“I waited until I was over 50 to get into a lead,” she said. “I’ve always said I don’t need to see my name in the program – but it is a lot of fun to be on stage, a lot more fun than I remember.”

One of the enjoyable elements of doing a show with FVGSS is the humourous dedica-tion of people who are virtually – literally, in some cases – family, Verra-Lay said.

“I wouldn’t have raised my kids in this ‘family’ if I didn’t think it was a gas.”

Wilhelm is also a long-time society member, and also a former president.

“I started when I was 17 and 21 years later, I’m still here,” he said, noting that he fi rst played Frederic in 2003. “I was very familiar with the role, so I thought it would be just a matter of going in and polishing – but it’s hard. All this physical movement is taking a toll on the body.”

Coast Capital Play-house is located at 1532 Johnston Rd.

▼ REUNIONOF 1995 CAST PLANNED FOR MAY 1

As was widely expected, on Wednesday April 15, 2015 Th e Bank of Canada announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 3/4 per cent. Th e Bank Rate is correspondingly 1 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/2 per cent. Core infl ation, at 2 percent, is a refl ection of the dampening eff ects of a slowing economy off set by the pass through eff ects of the lower dollar.

Th e Bank is hopeful that global growth will strengthen in coming months to 3-1/2 percent—consistent with their forecast in January’s Monetary Policy Report (MPR)—as a direct result of central bank rate cuts and quantitative easing in Europe. Lower commodity prices will boost growth in some countries. Th e Bank also believes that strong growth will resume in the United States after a weak fi rst quarter, which, of course, has yet to be confi rmed.

First quarter growth in Canada has been revised downward to 0.0 percent in the April MPR (from 1.5 percent growth in

the January MPR); however, the second quarter is expected to see a rebound to 1.8 percent growth, revised up from earlier expectation. Th e Bank continues to assert that, “Underneath the eff ects of the oil price shock, the

natural sequence of stronger non-energy exports, increasing investment, and improving labour markets is progressing.” Th is will be aided by an improvement in the U.S. economy and the easing in fi nancial conditions.

Th ere remains a good deal of

uncertainty in this sequence: While March employment in Canada improved substantially, business investment remains disappointing, manufacturing is weak—especially in the auto sector—and the improvement in trade has been less than expected.

Real GDP growth is projected to rebound in the second quarter and subsequently strengthen to average about 2 1/2 per cent on a quarterly basis until the middle

of 2016. Th e Bank expects real GDP growth of 1.9 per cent in 2015, 2.5 per cent in 2016, and 2.0 per cent in 2017.

Th e Bank also believes the risks to the outlook are balanced, an upgrade since the last policy meeting in March. As a result of this view, they judge that the current degree of monetary stimulus is appropriate and have left rates unchanged.

I am cautiously optimistic that the Bank has got it right, but I continue to believe that the risks are on the downside for the economy and infl ation. My forecast for Canadian growth this year is 1.5 percent--below the Bank’s 1.9 percent forecast. Much hinges on the U.S. economy. Th e April MPR revised down its U.S. growth forecast for this year from 3.2 percent to 2.7 percent.

Bank of Canada Remains On Hold With Hopes of Economic Rebound

Responding to recent news reports about the IMF warning of an overheated Canadian housing market, the Chief Economist for Dominion Lending Centres, Sherry Cooper, says the prospect of a soft landing is good news for homeowners, “there is no doubt that letting some steam out of the boiling markets is a good thing because were prices to rise rapidly for too long, a nasty correction would be likely.”

Cooper, one of North America’s most respected economic experts, points out that existing home sales were down 2 percent year-over-year in January, but were still up moderately outside of Alberta. Later data suggests that in February, sales rose month-over-month as gains in Toronto and Vancouver offset faltering markets in other parts of the country. More recently, Sales of existing homes in Canada rose in March from February, led by gains in the big Toronto and Vancouver markets. Sales were even up in Calgary where sales had slowed in recent months in the wake of the oil price decline.

“With home ownership at a record high of 70 percent of households and interest rates at record lows, national sales growth will stabilize at a modest pace,” says Cooper. “However, steady demand from immigrants and non-resident purchasers in Toronto and Vancouver should continue to support housing markets. In addition, Millennials are in their fi rst-time home-buying years. While many might be priced out of the single-family home market, many will take the plunge into condos.”

On the supply side, housing starts and completions are down and are now trending slightly above household formation rates. Taking replacement demand into consideration, the current pace of overall home construction is at appropriate levels to meet long-run demand. We have also seen evidence of a recent increase in dedicated rental housing construction as institutional investors are providing increased funding in this long-overlooked area of the housing market. Condos have effectively replaced traditional apartment units and are an affordable alternative for those who are priced out of Toronto’s detached housing market. Rental vacancy rates remain at extreme lows in Vancouver and Toronto.

Cooper says the bottom line is that there is little evidence of an upcoming U.S.-style housing crash anywhere in Canada, even in the hardest hit energy-centered markets.

Th ey extended their season-opening win streak to four games Saturday in provincial capital, but the North Delta Blue Jays left Victoria after losing twice Sunday after-noon.

Th e B.C. Premier Baseball League team swept the Victoria Mariners by scores of 5-3 and 8-1 on Sat-urday, but lost twice (5-4, 11-1) Sunday to the Victoria Eagles.

North Delta is now sixth in the Premier League with a 4-2 (won-loss) record.

Th e Jays began the weekend by getting a nine-strikeout eff ort from winning pitcher Daniel Gosselin. He allowed one earned run on fi ve hits and a walk.

Mackenzie Marquis led the off ense with a two-for-two game with one run scored. Wil-liam Quito also scored

a pair of runs and hit a double.

Trailing 1-0 after the fi rst inning, North Delta scored two in the third to take the lead than added another in the fourth and two more in the top of the seventh.

Th e Mariners rallied in the seventh to score two runs, but Matt

Gillen entered the game as a relief pitch-er and retired both batters he faced to end the game.

A 10-hit attack allowed the Blue Jays to complete the sweep. Braeden Miller with a pair of hits and two RBIs and Marc Ashford with three runs scored were the

off ensive leaders.Tyler Hoefer was

the winning pitcher, throwing fi ve innings and allowing one earned run on fi ve hits and a pair of walks while collecting fi ve strikeouts.

Th e Blue Jays erased a 4-0 defi cit with three runs in the sixth inning and one more in the seventh to tie the game, only to lose on a walk-off double in the bottom half of the fi nal inning.

Marquis and Miller each had a pair of hits for the Blue Jays, with Noah Or driving in a pair of runs with a sixth-inning double.

Jays pitchers had little left for the fi nal game of the weekend, as four pitchers com-bined to allow six hits and 11 walks over six innings.

Designated hitter Matt Poirier had a strong game at the plate, going two-for-three with a run scored.

Th e Jays will host the fi rst-place Langley Blaze (9-1) Saturday for two games. Start times at Mackie Park are at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.

With just one victory in their fi rst two weeks of the regular season, the Whalley Chiefs managed two wins over the weekend in Victoria.

Th e Chiefs took to the fi eld for a pair of double headers against the B.C. Premier Baseball League’s two teams in the provincial capital, and won one of two against each opponent.

Whalley lost 3-0 then won 8-6 Saturday against the Victoria Eagles on Saturday, then fell to the Victoria Mariners 7-2 Sunday morning before win-ning 8-3 in the after-noon’s rematch.

Whalley now has a 3-8 (won-lost) record, and are in 10th place in the 18-and-under league.

Th e Chiefs managed just fi ve hits in the fi rst game, but lost 3-0 to an Eagles team which totaled just four hits.

Th e home side did all their scoring in the bottom of the fi rst inning, when three hits combined with a pair of Chiefs errors allowed two unearned runs to cross the plate.

Th omas Espig was forced to take the loss after allowing one earned run on four hits and a pair of walks, lowering his earned run average to 1.79.

Espig contributed to a Chiefs win in the sec-ond game with a strong game at the plate, going two-for-four with a double and two runs scored. Matt Legg was two-for-three with two runs scored and a run batted in.

Whalley scored fi ve times in the third inning on three hits and a trio of walks, and added three more in the fourth inning before the Eagles sent 12 batters to the plate and scored six runs in the bottom of the fi fth.

Kyle Stubbins was the winning pitcher, allowing six runs (all unearned) on six hits and a pair of walks.

Against the Mariners on Sunday, the Chiefs again began the day with a loss. Victoria had 12 hits off Whalley pitching, including a pair of doubles.

Lachlan Hunter was the top off ensive player

for the Chiefs with two hits in three at-bats. Kap Kaplanis drove in the two runs with a sixth-inning double.

Lucas Soper earned his fi rst win of the sea-son in the second game, as the Chiefs earned an 8-3 victory. Soper gave

up three earned runs on six hits and four walks while collecting six strikeouts.

He also contributed at the plate with a two-for-two eff ort that included three runs scored. Lichel Hiraka-wa-Kao also scored

three runs and hit his third double of the season.

Th e Chiefs will play twice this weekend, hosting the 5-5 Nanai-mo Pirates for two games at 1 and 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Whal-ley Stadium.
