FEWER GAMBLERS play the ponies. Falling racetrack revenues translate into lower purses. And less money to attract own-ers, jockeys, breeders and trainers – not to mention feed and maintain the horses.

Th e woes of the horse racing industry point to one high-stakes possibility.

Drivers who now race standardbred racehorses at Clover-dale’s Fraser Downs track and jockeys who ride thorough-breds at Vancouver’s Hastings Park could both end up at the same facility.

If the industry consolidates at a single Metro Vancouver track, the outcome amounts to a double-or-nothing bet for Cloverdale – where several hundred jobs hang in the balance – as well as for horse-related businesses in Surrey and Langley.

Such a move would eliminate the lease payment to either the City of Surrey or Vancouver for the track that closes.

It would also pool all the betters and support staff in one location, end the duplication of marketing and other expenses, and bring other economies of scale.

A spokesperson for Rich Coleman, the minister responsible for gaming, confi rmed Tuesday consolidation of both racing

FRASER RIVER sockeye salmon are returning in record numbers not seen for nearly a century.

Th e Pacifi c Salmon Commission dramatically upgraded its estimate of the incoming run Tuesday, pegging the total number of Fraser-bound sockeye as high as 25 million – more than double the pre-season forecast of 11 million.

Th at makes it the largest sockeye run since 1913, surpassing 1993’s 23.5 million return.

Th is is the fi rst time in four years commercial fi shermen have been allowed to catch Fraser sockeye.

Disturbingly low returns of fewer than two million sockeye in each of the last two years prompted the federal government last year to appoint a judicial inquiry to probe the decline.

At its Tuesday meeting, the salmon commission estimated late-run sockeye will number a huge 17.2 million, dramatically driving up the total run size.

“All the populations seem to be doing better than forecast,” Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) B.C. Interior area director Barry Rosen-berger said.

“Th is is the new record,” he said, adding there’s potential for estimates to climb higher still.

A single test fi shing seine boat hauled in 85,000 fi sh in six sets on Tuesday.

Fishermen have now caught more than fi ve million sockeye, while at least six million have been allowed to continue upriver.

It’s not clear why this year’s run has come back so strongly relative to the last two.

Better marine conditions and more food for sockeye during their stint in salt water is one theory.

“We know some of the water con-ditions were more favourable two years ago when the smolts migrated out of the Fraser,” Rosenberger said.

But biologists caution one year’s strong return is no proof of a lasting rebound.

“What we have this year is an exceptionally good return of the last thriving lineage,” said researcher Alexandra Morton. “Th is is not a rebound.”

Th is year was expected to be the peak of the four-year sockeye cycle, with much lower returns projected in the next two years, based on the number of adults that previously spawned.

“Th e young of last year’s feeble return are in the lakes and awaiting their turn,” Morton said. “If they suff er the fate of their parents they are extinguished.”

She said this year’s huge run is a message that a broader turnaround is possible.

“Th is run is reminder of what this fi sh can do, its sheer ability to generate life and capacity as an economic powerhouse,” she said, calling sockeye

“an amazing animal.”Th e trend in sockeye returns has been down

since at least the early 1990s.Cohen Commission spokesperson Carla Shore

said this year’s run will factor into the inquiry’s work but doesn’t change its mandate or the big questions to be answered.

“Th e 2010 return is fabulous and like every British Columbian, I’m thrilled, the commission is thrilled,” she said. “But we don’t know why there was a decline last year and a boost in the numbers this year.”

Commercial fi shermen are continuing to fi sh this week.

Seiners and trollers are catching sockeye off shore until further notice.

Gillnettters in the Fraser River were granted another opening from noon Wednesday to 8 p.m. Th ursday.

Fishing industry representatives have lodged complaints that DFO allowed too few fi sh to be caught.

Processors on shore, meanwhile, are struggling to keep up.

George Heras, president of Ladner-based Seven Seas Fish Co., said his fi rm has turned away catches.

“Before people were concerned about the fi sh not showing up, now there’s more than we can handle.”

Delta Richmond-East MP John Cummins called the huge return underway a “mystery” but said the underlying theme of the wild swings in the stock is that DFO is unable to predict or account for the changes.

“It just underscores the need for a really good judicial inquiry that examines the management of the department and how these guys are mak-ing choices,” he said.

Having standardbred horses (left) and thoroughbreds race at the same track is one option the B.C. government is considering in order to make the industry more profi table.

styles at a single dual-purpose track is one of the options being weighed by a government-appointed management committee charged with fi nding solutions to stabilize racing.

But Howard Blank, vice-president of media and entertainment for Great Canadian Gaming Corp., which owns both Fraser Downs and Hastings Park, denied the company is pursuing consolidation.

“We don’t have that scenario in play,” he said. “We are committed to both. Th is is not the closing of one and consolidating.”

Th e company wouldn’t have spent mil-lions renovating both sites in recent years if that was the plan, he said.

Blank also hotly denied backstretch speculation Great Canadian is laying the

groundwork for an end to harness racing in B.C.

Th e company this month announced it’s slashing more than a third of the race days at Fraser Downs this fall and temporarily cancelling the 2011 race slate pending further decisions. Th e move stoked fears the end is near.

“It’s not true,” Blank said. “We will announce our racing schedule for the winter and spring at Fraser Downs very quickly. We will be racing.”

Th e key diff erence, he said, is the two tracks won’t run racing seasons that overlap and eat into each other’s take.

Fully enclosed Fraser Downs will race in the colder months from fall through spring, leaving Hastings Park – which has outdoor

bleachers – to take over through the summer.Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce

Executive Director Bill Reid said he believes an industry consolidation at a single track is very much in the cards.

And although there’s pressure in Van-couver for more parkland in the vicinity of Hastings Park, he expects a concerted battle from forces who want the Vancouver track and not Cloverdale to emerge the survivor.

“It will take some lobbying,” said Reid, a former Social Credit government minister.

He argues several factors weigh in favour of Fraser Downs.

It would cost much more to renovate Hastings to accommodate standardbreds than to modify Cloverdale for thorough-breds, he said. Th oroughbreds at Hastings

race a full mile compared to the 5/8 mile harness racing course at Fraser Downs.

Lower land values in Surrey relative to Vancouver are also a factor, as is the ease of parking.

Horses are already based in Surrey and Langley, he noted, so carting them back and forth to Vancouver daily would make much less sense.

“We have the community for it,” he said. “Vancouver doesn’t.”

Reid said the “super casino” the govern-ment plans to build at GM Place stadium will drain gamblers from Hastings Park.

“It won’t be viable for a casino at any size to be anywhere within that range,” he predicted.

“This run is a reminder of

what this fi sh can do...”

DESPITE DIRE talk about the future of Fraser Downs, the racetrack and casino does not lose money for operator Great Canadian Gaming Corp.

Company vice-president Howard Blank con-firmed the Cloverdale operation makes a profit, although revenues have declined significantly.

Great Canadian’s latest quarterly financial statement reports Fraser Downs and Hastings Park together, but shows the two tracks combined had net earnings of $5.7 million in the first half of 2010, despite a lengthy closure of Hastings during the Olympics.

The two tracks reported total revenues of $54 million last year and pre-tax profit of $13 million for 2009.

Casino-style gambling is a big contributor – Hastings Park has 600 slots, while Fraser Downs has 461 plus 11 tables.

But Great Canadian still took in more cash from racing in the first half of 2010 – $9.9 million (down 18 per cent from a year earlier) compared to $9 million from gam-ing revenue and $3.3 million from hospitality and other revenue at the two tracks.

The B.C. tracks take in considerably more money from racing than Great Canadian’s two Ontario standardbred racetracks, which rely on higher gaming revenues and have more slots – 800 each with plans in the works for more.

The Ontario tracks also have lower property,

administration and marketing costs, giving them higher overall profitability than their B.C. counterparts.

The City of Surrey also continues to profit from Fraser Downs, collecting about a $2.5 mil-lion per year (down from the original expecta-tion of $3.5 million annually) share of the take from the slots and table games. It also receives lease payments on the city-owned property.

A key problem for the racing industry is the “handle” a horse owner stands to win is down, and a continued slide hurts the quality of the field competing.

The best solution, Blank said, is to find ways to attract more people.

It’s an uphill battle.He said the market is literally

dying as horse racing gamblers age and younger generations opt insteadfor faster-paced gambling options like slots or online gaming.

But Blank said recent promotions at Hastings suggest both tracks can benefit from events like special par-ties, concerts and celebrity visits to add more excitement and interest between races.

“We’re open to almost anything,” he said, adding increased cross-promotion with other casinos is another option.

Cloverdale chamber spokesman Bill Reid said better promotion is key, suggesting Great Cana-dian’s efforts so far have been minimal.

“Fraser Downs is the best kept secret in the Lower Mainland,” Reid said.

ABOUT 250 people came to the Delta Town & Country Inn Aug. 24 to hear what their candidates for Delta council had to say at the fi rst public debate in the lead up to the Sept. 18 byelection.

Eight people are vying for a single seat on council, which become vacant aft er the unex-pected death of longtime councillor George Hawk-sworth in March.

Two of the candidates – Amy Ghuman Sara and Ray Robinson – were unable to attend what was so far the only public debate planned prior to election day.

Th e audience chuckled when the question everyone knew would come was asked off the bat: What is their opinion on the future use of the controversial Southlands development proposal?

Sylvia Bishop and Kathleen Higgins stated they want the Southlands to be preserved as farmland. San-deep Pandher, Ian Paton and Maria DeVries said council needs to listen to the community, with Paton and Pandher recognizing 62 per cent of respondents to a municipal survey said they want to see the land remain agricultural.

Peter Harms spoke in favour of Century Group’s working plan.

“Southlands is a world-class urban plan with integrated habitat aspects where people, land and wildlife – like cranes, ducks and sea birds – will live intimately together, serving, sup-porting and enjoying each other. I studied the plan that (Century Group president Sean) Hodgins developed, and coming from Europe, I really enjoy that plan,” he said.

Th e debate then turned to North Delta and the need to revitalize the Delta side of Scott Road.

Paton said council

should off er tax incen-tives to encourage development on the busy street that divides Delta and Surrey.

“Let’s get going, let’s get some tax incentives to developers and make Scott Road a busy, busy and great place to go shopping on the Delta side, not the Surrey side.”

Pandher said the prob-lem is not a lack of tax incentives but a longtime position of indiff erence by past Delta councils.

“We have representa-tives who have been there since 1972,” he said.

When asked about how they would make North Delta a safer place to live, DeVries and Paton

said residents need to be encouraged to get to know each other and create neigh-bourhood watch programs.

Bishop recommended creating a position for a social planner at municipal hall to help deal with the social needs of a culturally diverse com-munity.

Pandher, who speaks Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu, said the ethnic diversity

of North Delta creates challenges in understand-ing cultures and commu-nicating, and that the gap could be bridged with diversity on council.

Tsawwassen resident Peter Harms admitted he is unfamiliar with North Delta, and passed on questions that focused on issues in that community.

One of the questions submitted for the can-didates asked what they would do to enhance relationships with the neighbouring communi-ties of Richmond, Surrey and the Tsawwassen First Nation.

Higgins said Delta should look to Surrey to learn from the challenges they’ve faced in manag-ing secondary suites now that Delta has legalized them in single family homes.

Noting he cannot stand big box stores,

casinos and ugly housing developments, Paton said, “I really don’t think we can take anything good from what Richmond has done and what Surrey has done.”

DeVries echoed that

sentiment, stating Delta does not want to be Rich-mond or Surrey.

Paton added during the rebuttal round that, “If TFN thinks they’re going to put in a big box shopping mall and

wipe out Tsawwassen and Ladner business, I’ll throw myself in front of the bulldozers.”

Pandher and Bishop emphasized the impor-

OPINION Friday August 27 20106

Fraser Downs, for-merly known as Cloverdale Race-way, is in critical

condition – but few people outside the horse commu-nity and Cloverdale busi-ness community seem to care.

Perhaps they don’t know just how serious the situa-tion is, or perhaps they are taking a “survival of the fi ttest” approach. However, they may be forgetting the law of unintended conse-quences.

When I heard a month ago that Chuck Keeling was leaving Great Canadian Gaming Corpo-ration, the par-ent company of Fraser Downs, I had a sense of foreboding. Th e Keeling family built the current race facility and have been excellent owners and operators over the past 34 years.

When it was taken over by Great Canadian as part of a deal to turn the facility into a casino, in addition to the harness racing facil-ity, Keeling stayed on as general manager. Th is pro-vided continuity, but it also provided a much-needed link to the standardbred horse owners, trainers and drivers.

Two weeks ago, it was announced that the num-ber of race dates in the upcoming season would be cut severely – from 37 to 25, with the race season ending much earlier than usual on Dec. 31.

Th ere are logical busi-ness reasons for this. Th e amount of money wagered on all types of horse racing has dropped dramatically. Th is is largely due to the plethora of other gambling enterprises being literally in people’s faces.

Th e provincial govern-ment, through B.C. Lottery Corporation, is the seller of all these gambling services, contracted out through various compa-nies. Th e government gets

most of the revenue and in fact is dependent on ever-increasing gambling revenue, as other streams of funding like forestry diminish.

Th e province has been involved in the racing industry far longer than it has been in the lottery business. But horse rac-ing is much more than a race run at a track, where patrons bet on the outcome. It involves the breeding, training and care of horses. Many people have been employed in the industry (about 500 at

present), and many farms have been devoted to race horses.

All these jobs have meant there is a signifi -cant spin-off eff ect from horse racing.

One signifi cant diff erence between horse racing and casino gambling is that horse racing has supported an entire industry. While casinos certainly provide jobs for many people, the eff ect outside the walls of the casino is negligible.

If the province was willing to take the time to understand the overall impact of casino gambling versus racetrack gambling, and comprehend the eff ect of shortened race seasons, it might take some steps that would make a diff er-ence.

If less eff ort went into setting up online gaming sites, for example, and more attention was paid to making horse racing (both harness and jockey) attractive to gamblers, there might well be an increase in the amount of money bet at the track.

Th at in turn would lead to bigger purses, more horses being entered and more people being employed in the industry. It’s an option that needs to be given full consideration.

PARENTING

Do you think B.C.’s children’s ministry should allow Frankie Bones to study piano in Washington state?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 94% No 6%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

The Surrey/North Delta Leader

I’ve learned three new things about ‘perfect’ strangers during a trip to the park this summer with my one-year-old daughter:

“Our little Lilly started walking at nine months!”

“Brandon began playing the piano when he was three!”

“Georgia knows baby sign language!”Watching my Molly crawl towards a dirty leaf,

which she of course crammed into her mouth, I had to wonder, “have I dropped the ball here?”

Now, I’ve always considered myself to be a laid-back, go-with-the-fl ow kinda gal. But that all went straight out the window last summer when Molly was born.

Like millions of moms and dads out there – you know who you are – I’ve become… dare I say it… a competitive parent (gulp).

Heck, I’m not the least bit competi-tive in any other facet of my life, not even sports. Sure I take part on the odd slo-pitch game, usually in the outfi eld, and when the batter pops one to me I run – but away from the ball.

Parenting is diff erent. I want to be the best. Perhaps it’s my inherent people-pleasing nature, or maybe the desire to give Molly an even better childhood than I had growing up.

I don’t know if I’ll ever know the root of my evil, but I do know it courses strongly through my veins – especially since making the shift into mommy mode. My new competitive streak began to blossom at the same time as my growing belly.

I signed myself and my husband up for Lamaze class, soaked up every book and article, following the advice, accordingly… well, most of the time.

Play classical music for fetus – check. Hire doula for an enriching birth experience – check. Exercise and eat healthy, organic foods – check-ish. (Fruit popsicles and green gummy bears count, right?)

In our success-driven society, education is key to a bright future, so they say. Hence the reason I was determined to enroll my baby in the “right school” as early as possible.

Molly was just four months old when we packed her into her car seat and drove to the Langley School Board offi ce to sign her up for kindergarten.

Th e offi ce administrator presented us with a checklist, which contained all of the diff erent pro-grams we could enrol her into: French immersion, Montessori, fundamental programs and fi ne arts.

We checked all of the above.Who knows? Maybe we have a pint-sized Picasso

on our hands. You should see the creations she makes from avocados and strained carrots.

Feeling a little smug, like just maybe we were ahead of the game, we learned that our Molly was not the fi rst baby on the waiting list – not even the second.

In fact, we found out many eager parents are signing their babies up for school straight out of the womb.

From that moment I began to wonder – when did parenting become such an extreme sport? And, why was I so eager to step up to bat and play the game?

Nowadays, parents face such pres-sure to make sure their little ones are measuring up on the playground that it’s enough to make you want to avoid small talk at the swings at all costs.

Heaven forbid my competitive streak ever turn me into a stage mom. While I may never be inclined to douse Molly in tanning spray, glue false eyelashes and dress her like a pageant princess, I know

I’ve got to lighten up a little.On our walk home from the park, I looked down

at Molly, slumped down in her buggy, sound asleep.And I realized I had to stop driving myself crazy

with anxiety-causing comparisons.My daughter may not know baby sign language

or play a musical instrument. She has also yet to take her fi rst step or say her fi rst word, but she is pretty darn special in my books.

However, I also noticed the new mom ahead of me looked pretty proud of her much fancier stroller and tiny little waist…

quite

frankly

I NORMALLY DON’T email about this sort of thing but I do have to ask... when is this going to stop?

We work and work to keep up with infl ation and pay our due taxes, only to have so-called refugees come into this country illegally and cost the taxpayers $100,000-plus to take care of them.

How is this fair? Not to mention that it is possible that some

of these migrants could be terrorists. Th e report said there were a lot of children,

but we know that, in foreign countries, children can be as vicious and ruthless as their adult counterparts as they are trained from early childhood to use a gun and to kill.

Many countries would put them back on a plane and return them to their country of ori-

gin, so why does Canada welcome these people with open arms and put them through the system at an exorbitant cost to the taxpayer?

If they fear prosecution, perhaps it’s because they are criminals in their own right and deserve to be punished.

What happened to security? Aft er 9/11, it was so tight we couldn’t even take a bottle of water on a plane, and now suspected terrorists just cruise into this country and we take them in willingly.

It is a known fact that many “disappear” while awaiting the immigration process.

Do we not owe it to our neighbour to the south to be diligent in upholding strict security?

Don’t we have enough internal problems with those “refugees” we have already let into this county to be letting more in?

If our system processes one refugee at a time, perhaps it’s time to look at this and pass a new law whereby group illegal entry is an automatic return to their own country. Th at would cer-tainly not cost the Canadian taxpayers $100,000 per person.

If we allow this shipful to stay, how many more will we have to contend with and what will it lead to?

Let’s get real here and look aft er our own people fi rst. We have people on waiting lists for medical attention but we are going to look aft er these migrants now free of charge. Ridiculous.

What happened to being sponsored and being medically fi t to come into the country?

I am one angry taxpayer.

THE ONGOING tragicomedy that is the life of Steve Fonyo is at times diffi cult to watch.

Th e colourful Fonyo and his fi ancée Lisa Greenwood have been in the spotlight for the “good news” story of their on-again off -again wedding. Some great folks in Victoria are trying to help the befallen hero, who was a 21-year-old amputee when he followed up the great Terry Fox with his own run across Canada 25 years ago to raise money and awareness for cancer.

But this “feel good” news has been shattered with allegations of criminal wrongdoings by both Greenwood and Fonyo.

In what can only be described as a kind of cruel fate for the lovebirds, both Fonyo and Greenwood

have been in and out of jail, which has kept their nuptials in an ongoing limbo.

While his Order of Canada may have been stripped, Fonyo retains the Variety Interna-tional Humanitarian Award, which is annually bestowed on someone who has shown “unusual understanding, empathy and devotion to man-kind.” He has great company for this honour, which he shares with the likes of Sir Winston Churchill, Dr. Albert Schweitzer, Buzz Aldrin, Sir Edmund Hillary and legendary comedian/entertainer Bob Hope.

So aft er months of seeing their lives spiral out of control, always delaying their inevitable marriage, I have one question for the couple:

Why have you not retained a talent agent or a producer and put your lives on a television reality show? You are wasting a great opportu-nity.

Now that an unidentifi ed benefactor has posted Fonyo’s $20,000 bail, the Aug. 28 wedding is back on. But Fonyo shouldn’t go through with it until he has set up a reality show deal.

He has to get this on tape for the show. It could be the conclusion of Season One.

CANADIAN TAXPAYERS Federation spokesperson Maureen Bader states that the free transit passes for staff and retirees is “out of line” and is “evidence of TransLink’s misplaced priorities.”

As the spouse of a Coast Moun-tain Bus driver, I’d like to share some information that Ms. Bader would have learned had she done some homework regarding bus drivers before making her comments.

Many people are not aware of the fact that most bus drivers have to work a “split shift .” Th is means that their hours are split into two pieces, resulting in a “layover” of three hours – on average. If they live within a reasonable distance to the depot, they usually return home and then go back to the depot for the second shift .

Th is layover is off -duty and as a result, their typical day is stretched over 12-14 hours (only paid for 7.5 hours). One can see that if they drive their own vehicles, they rack up a lot of miles and spend a lot more on gas than a typical employee who only drives to and from their workplace in a day.

Another type of shift involves the driver having to pick up his assigned bus somewhere on route. Th is means the driver has to either a) drive to the depot and take transit to the pick-up point, or, b) take transit to and from the pick-up point. Th e fi rst scenario may also require the driver take transit back to the depot at the end of the shift .

Having the taxable benefi t of

a “free” pass allows the drivers to have a choice about whether or not they want the extra wear and tear on their private vehicle in addition to the extra gas cost. It also allows them to get to and from their bus (if picking it up on route), which is considered travel time.

In the case of the drivers, the

“free” ride must be considered part of their job or no one would sign up for it. Whether public or private, a company has to provide perks as a way of attracting and keeping employees – especially with the younger generations entering the workforce now.

As for the other TransLink

employees and one pass per family causing the “huge concessions forced onto taxpayers and transit riders,” I think the total amount would pale in comparison to the amount lost through fare evasion on the SkyTrain system.

A letter writer states that transit drivers often need to commute four times daily to work their split shifts, and that it makes sense for them to get ‘free’ rides on the way to work.

LETTERSFriday August 27 2010 7Surrey/North Delta Leader

What willpower electric cars?

IT WAS NOT MORE than two or three years ago that the media WAS fi lled with stories about the coming age of electric vehicles. Scores of reports at the time spoke of designs for electric vehicles sitting on drawing boards and of early prototypes undergo-ing testing in the lab as technical hurdles were being overcome.

Fast forward to the present and it seems what were once electric dreams are now showing up in communities everywhere for real world road testing.

Th is is very good news because it’s a sign that produc-tion models can’t be far behind.

Th e question I have, though, is where all the electricity to power these electric vehicles is going to come from?

All of the electricity produced in this province is currently spoken for and we are reportedly import-ing a fair amount of electricity to fi ll the gap between production and demand.

When a couple hundred thou-sand electric vehicles hit the streets of British Columbia’s urban areas, will we be ready with a suitable supply of clean, non-emitting electricity or will we be caught off guard and fi nd ourselves having to import even more coal-fi red elec-tricity from outside this province to keep these clean electric vehicles running?

If the transition to electric vehicles in this province is going to be successful, we need to make certain we have the clean electricity needed to power this revolution.

If we don’t, we will be defeat-ing the whole purpose of having electric vehicles and perpetuating our dependence on fossil fuels instead of fi nally getting ahead of the game.

THE MAN who dragged a Maple Ridge gas sta-tion attendant to his death fi ve years ago is going back to prison.

Darnell Darcy Pratt had his statutory release revoked Tuesday fol-lowing a hearing in front of the National Parole Board at Matsqui Institution in Abbots-ford where he is cur-rently being held.

“It is evident that you lack insight and did not use the skills that you were given,” said parole

board member Sam Reimer as he handed down the decision.

“Th at makes it impossible to manage your risk [to the com-munity].”

Pratt was granted statutory release June 16 and ordered to live in a Kamloops halfway house.

Th e 21-year-old reported to the residence and met his 8 p.m. curfew, but failed to return the next day.

A Canada-wide war-rant was issued for his arrest and Kamloops RCMP found Pratt on June 19, walking along a Kamloops street.

Th e parole board heard that Pratt went to a pub twice while on the lam and was found with a powdery substance, believed to be heroin, when he was arrested.

He told his com-munity parole offi cer he intended to go to the Lower Mainland.

Dressed in dark blue prison-issued jeans and a white T-shirt with shortly cropped hair and earrings in his left ear, Pratt told the board that being out of prison was a “big shock.”

He was just 16 in March 2005 when he struck gas attendant Grant De Patie in a sto-len car while fl eeing an Esso station on Dewdney Trunk Road in Maple Ridge without paying for gas.

Pratt dragged the 24-year-old under the car for 7.5 kilometres.

He has been in prison ever since.

“I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t know anybody in Kamloops,”

Pratt told the board.

“I didn’t have my family. I took off because I wanted to see my family.”

Pratt admitted he drank on the fi rst night but said he didn’t consume any alcohol on his second visit to the pub.

He claimed he was given the drugs but denied he used them.

“I just needed to let go of my stresses,” Pratt

said.If he could turn back

the clock, Pratt indi-cated he would ask to be close to his family.

“I needed a struc-tured place, well supervised,” he added. He said he appeared before the parole board because he wanted to

A 22-YEAR-OLD Surrey man trying to evade a police CounterAttack roadblock nearly hit one offi cer before smashing his truck through a fence and into an apart-ment building in Lan-gley City on Saturday morning.

Around 2 a.m., Langley RCMP’s traffi c section was working in the 5600 block of 201A Street when a westbound white Ford truck turned south on

201A Street. Th e offi cers doing the

road-side stops were wearing their fl uores-cent yellow jackets and carrying fl ashlights and had orange cones out, said Cpl. Holly Marks.

Th ey signalled for the truck to stop but instead, the driver accelerated, crossing over the centre line and driving directly towards one of the offi cers, said Marks.

“The officer was able to jump to

safety,” she said.One of the offi cers

quickly got in a police vehicle and watched the truck drive through a red light at 201A and 56 Avenue before accelerating through to Michaud Crescent.

Th e offi cer fol-lowed behind with his emergency lights on when the truck drove through a large fence and crashed into the corner of the apartment near 201A Street and Michaud Crescent.

No one in the apart-ment was injured.

Th e truck also struck a lamp post exposing some live electrical wires that required Cobra Electric staff to come out.

Th e driver was imme-diately arrested. He had two passengers in the truck with him.

Police will recom-mend charges of assault with a weapon, dangerous driving and impaired driving.

have his say “in some respect.”

Th ere was no one from Pratt’s family at the Tuesday hearing.

Doug De Patie, Grant’s father, believes Pratt got what he deserved: another stint back inside prison.

“My hopes for Dar-nell were that he turn over a new leaf and come out and comply with his conditions,” said De Patie, a Surrey resident who read a victim impact statement on behalf of his family.

“Grant gave his life to stop Darnell and really, he threw it back in Grant’s face.”

Originally charged with second-degree murder, Pratt pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced in May 2006 as an adult to nine years minus time served, for a total of seven years and three months in prison.

In April 2007, the B.C. Court of Appeal reduced the nine-year sentence to seven years, making the sentence, aft er credit for time served, fi ve years and 10 months.

In 2008, four more months were added to his sentence aft er he pleaded guilty to assaulting another inmate while in custody.

His sentence ends on 12 July 2012 but Pratt will be eligible for man-datory statutory release in November 2011.

A SINGER of sad songs lent his voice to a Surrey radio telethon for victims of the

Pakistan floods.Ghulam Ali’s appear-

ance at 93.1 ReD (Refl ecting Ethnic Diversity) FM on Aug. 19 was a last-minute

surprise, the Surrey radio station said.

Th e famous musician from Pakistan was in B.C. on a concert tour when he learned ReD-FM was going to raise money to assist fl ood victims in his home country and decided to help.

Ali is one of the biggest names in the music of the South Asian sub-continent, known for his singing in the classic ghazal style that features lyrics about tragic, unrequited love.

Th e singer paid the radio station a visit to go on-air where he per-sonally urged listeners to contribute.

“Th is natural disaster that has struck Pakistan is beyond anyone’s imagination,” Ali said.

“Th is is a diffi cult time for the people of Pakistan and I am glad and touched that people sitting here are thinking of victims in Pakistan and trying to help them.”

Listeners pledged more than $170,000.

ReD-FM president Kulwinder Sanghera called the response “overwhelming.”

“I am surprised at how each and every time the community rises to the occasion,” Sanghera said.

He said the fund-raiser was prompted by news of a lack of dona-tions for the millions aff ected by the Pakistani fl ood.

Heavy monsoon rains in July triggered flooding of more than 160,000 square kilometres of Pakistanthat has so far killed 2,000 people and left more than 20 million homeless.

Around a fi ft h of Pakistan’s total land area was left under water.

Th e federal govern-ment announced on Aug. 22 that it will match, dollar-for-dollar, donations for fl ood relief made by Canadians to registered charities between Aug. 2 and Sept. 12.

Said Bishop, “Th ey fi nd themselves a nation surrounded by another nation and I think it behooves us to work in a

positive way with them to our mutual benefi t.”

Th e Corporation of Delta has developed a Climate Change Initia-tive, and candidates were asked how council could make Delta a greener place to live.

Bishop said she sup-ports off ering incentives

to encourage green build-ing developments, as well as zero waste manage-ment goals.

DeVries said residents need to divert more waste from landfi lls, and Delta can encourage this by off ering accessible drop-off centres for diff erent types of recyclables.

Pandher said the best thing Delta can do is to learn from current leaders in urban sustain-ability. He added Delta needs to fi ght to protect its environmental assets such as Burns Bog.

Paton, a longtime farmer, said, “Let’s keep farming.”

Higgins said subdivid-ing larger lots in Delta into three smaller lots, a principle focus of her platform, would solve a number of the issues fac-ing the municipality, such as protecting farmland and creating more aff ord-

able housing.Watch the two-hour

SURREY WILL be home to an advanced new MRI scanner designed with obese or claus-trophobic patients in mind.

Th e new Optima MR450w system arrived at the Surrey Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre last week ahead of the opening of the new day surgery and diagnostics satellite hospital next June.

Th e new $2-million scanner has an opening 15 per cent wider than average and promises a more comfortable expe-rience for larger patients or those who don’t like feeling closed in.

It’s the fi rst such unit in Fraser Health and the only similar system in the Lower Mainland is at Richmond General Hospital.

“Patients may have a quicker scanning experience with this new MRI,” said Marc Pelletier, Fraser Health vice-president of clini-cal operations.

“With the larger fi eld

of view we are able to scan more anatomy with fewer scans compared to previous systems. We may even be able to see more patients in a given shift as a result of shorter scanning sessions.”

Last Wednesday, a crane cautiously hoisted the magnet for the

scanner up the side of the new $239-million outpatient centre, which is located at the southwest corner of Green Timbers Park.

Offi cials say the unit is an upgrade from the centre’s original plans, made possible at no additional cost to the government by sup-

plier by GE Healthcare and the private-public partnership building the project.

MRI scans use magnetic and radio frequency fi elds to give doctors a view of the tissue structure of the internal anatomy with-out exploratory surgery.

DELTA Hospital is pre-paring to install a new electronic system next week that will help keep patients with dementia safe.

Th e WanderGuard system, made possible by an $8,000 donation from the Ladner Rotary Club, will allow caregiv-ers to keep track of patients who stray too far from their rooms.

“It is another way of allowing for ambula-tion, yet keeping them monitored,” said Bev Matushewski, manager of acute health services.

Patients identifi ed as wanderers will wear a bracelet embedded with an electronic chip. If the patient crosses a certain boundary, an alarm or fl ashing light will alert caregivers.

Currently, the medi-cal ward has stop signs at common doors that lead to the elevators.

“We need to keep that open for incoming visitors, for portering downstairs,” said Matu-shewski. “But when our patients see others go through, they follow.”

If a security guard notices a patient looking confused and disoriented, he or she has to call around the hospital to determine where that patient belongs.

Matushewski says the number of patients with dementia is increasing.

“People are living lon-ger – that’s certainly the good news. Th e compli-cation with that is the (medical problems) that exist,” she said.

“When we take people out of their home environment and bring them into acute care, we’re altering their ‘normal’ and so we need to keep them as safe as possible while they’re in our care.”

In addition to Wan-derGuard, the hospital is also undergoing some changes to become a more elder-friendly environment.

Th ose changes include clear signage, better lighting and unobstructed hallways. It may seem like common sense, said Matushewski, but the hospital is making an eff ort to be aware of hazards people inad-vertently create without recognizing the harm it can do to those who are in a new and diff erent environment.

Th e Ladner Rotary

Club has strong ties to the hospital and has previously provided funds to create the fam-ily room, serenity gar-den, surgical daycare, and acquire equipment for residential care and

endoscopy.“We’ve always sup-

ported the hospital. We’ve given them over $60,000,” said past-pres-ident Lynn Cameron.

She says the group will continue to help

the hospital, but is now focusing on a project with Reach Child and Youth Development Society.

Th e club meets weekly at the Town and Country Inn.

GOVERNMENT road builders have paved over far more farm-land than private developers in the Surrey-Delta-Langley area over the past decade, according to a new study.

More than 70 per cent of the 264 hectares of land removed from farm use

over the past 10 years were for provincial government transportation projects, con-cluded author Nathan Pachal, co-founder of the transit advocacy group South Fraser On Trax.

Th e South Fraser Perimeter Road, which is eating up 90 hectares in Surrey and Delta, is the project that has caused

the single biggest reduction in farmland in the South of Fraser area over the past 10 years.

Others include the expan-sion of Highways 10 and 15 in Surrey and the Deltaport expansion. Almost two-thirds of the farmland removals were in Delta.

Th e statistics include for-mal exclusions of land from

the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) as well as other dedica-tion of farmland.

Th e South of Fraser area accounts for three quarters of all ALR land in Metro Vancouver, with the primary crops including vegetables, berries, greenhouse produce and ornamental plants.

nude beach

Lack of clothing-optional beaches a human

rights issue, man says

Black Press

A CRESCENT Beach man’s campaign for designated nude public areas continued this week with an appeal for help promoting a need for clothing-optional beaches.

In a statement sent to local MLAs, Surrey council members and media, former provin-cial Green party candi-date Don Pitcairn says an upcoming 40th anni-versary of a protest that led to Wreck Beach’s offi cial formation in Vancouver is a fi tting time to question when such a designation will be made in Surrey.

Th e lack of offi cial clothing-optional beaches in Surrey is a human rights issue, Pitcairn notes, citing “a long history of intoler-ance” in the city.

To raise awareness, Pitcairn is encouraging members of his group, Surrey’s United Natur-ists, and others to show their support at two sites – a strip south of Crescent Beach and a section of Barnston Island on the Fraser River.

ONE YEAR aft er its opening and 36 mil-lion passengers later, the $2-billion Canada Line has proven to be a popular transporta-tion option, carrying far more people than expected by this point.

Th e rapid-transit link between Vancouver, Richmond and the airport now transports 107,000 riders on a typical weekday, and averages 100,000 daily trips, even counting weekends.

“We’ve hit that 100,000 rides per day about two years ahead of schedule,” said Trans-Link spokesman Ken Hardie.

He said the Canada Line is also spurring increased use of the rest of the Metro Vancouver transit system, because more people now take SkyTrain, the SeaBus or transit buses to connect to the Canada Line.

“Th e ripple eff ect has been not bad.”

Th e new 19-kilo-metre line was key to TransLink’s gold medal people-moving performance during the Olympics.

“Th e Olympics created a situation where people needed

another way to get into downtown Vancouver and voila, there was the Canada Line, along with the supporting transit lines from South Surrey, White Rock and Delta,” Hardie said.

Th e record for mov-ing people came during the 2010 Winter Games on Feb. 19, when 287,379 passengers were counted.

Ridership stats since then show transit use has been higher post-Olympics relative to the months before, suggesting thousands of transit-averse residents have been converted, partly thanks to the shiny new train line.

TransLink passenger surveys show 51 per cent of Canada Line users are using the new SkyTrain line to make the same journey they used to take by bus.

Hardie said that sug-gests the rest – a huge number of passengers – either hadn’t been tak-ing the trip at all before or had been taking it by car.

“We’ve indeed picked up new riders,” he said.

Every YVR-bound train carries luggage-toting passengers delighting in no longer having to drive and park at the airport or

take a taxi.But prior to the

August 2009 launch, there was trepidation

about the new line.Regular bus commut-

ers to Vancouver from areas like South Surrey

and White Rock feared the loss of their relaxed one-seat no-transfer ride downtown.

Richmondites fretted the “crime train” would

bring a tide of theft and social ills.

Vancouver neighbourhoods braced for a wave of new devel-opment and densifi cation.

Th e long-term changes to land-use patterns are just beginning, but a huge new development with towers up to 35 storeys is already proposed near the Marine Drive sta-tion in Vancouver, along with upscale new housing projects in Richmond.

Transit Police ushered in the new line with a policing blitz to ease local concerns.

And the express buses that used to go all the way downtown

now terminate at the Canada Line’s Bridgeport Station.

Th at’s less convenient for some riders, but Hardie argues it freed up large numbers of buses to boost service elsewhere.

Not only did the Vancouver-bound buses bog down in heavy traffi c the closer they got to downtown, they also deadheaded back empty in the reverse-peak direction.

Th e resulting reallocation of buses has allowed TransLink to boost service levels from the Semiahmoo Peninsula and South Delta by 38 per cent while using the same number of buses, Hardie said, adding service was also boosted on east-west routes through Vancouver.

More frequent buses connect-ing from the south has in turn made the Canada Line even more attractive to new riders, who oft en fl y past jammed single-occupant cars on con-gested Highway 99 thanks to the extension of bus-only lanes on the corridor.

“Th e Canada Line trip to downtown is much faster, so now we’re moving more people more quickly and reliably,” TransLink CEO Ian Jarvis said.

Th e line was not without detractors.

Businesses disrupted by the cut-and-cover construction along Cambie Street are still in court for compensation.

Russia’s unprecedented summer heat wave has been much in the news. Acrid smog with concentrations of carbon monoxide and other poisonous substances two to three times higher than what is considered safe blanketed Moscow for at least a week during early August. The smog is said to have been caused by the thousands of wildfi res burning around Moscow and throughout western Russia. Moscow’s top health offi cial said that deaths in Moscow doubled to an average of 700 people a day. At the time of writing, relief appears to be on the way from a northwestern cold front expected to bring heavy rains and colder temperatures.

Moderating weather, however, will not wholly relieve Moscow of its smog problem. In 1991, Moscow had 60 cars per thousand residents; in 2009, 350 cars per thousand, and the number continues to climb. As Keith Gessen in his Letter from Moscow, “Stuck” in the August 2nd issue of the New Yorker magazine noted, “The fi rst great post-Soviet fortune, after all, was made not from oil or gas or nickel: that came later. It was made when Boris Berezovsky, a mathematician and game theorist, started selling cars.”

While 350 vehicles per thousand still compares favourably to North America’s 800 per thousand, Moscow’s capacity for handling the resulting traffi c is already overwhelmed. So much so that Mr. Gessen’s ‘letter’ begins by describing Moscow’s traffi c as “an existential threat,” and then supporting this assertion with chilling anecdotes: an ambulance driver lazily throwing snowballs off an embankment, in traffi c so long that reportedly his patient had died en route; subway bombings during rush hour that resulted in helicopter rescue for the injured—no ambulances could make

it through traffi c—and continuing service because, said a metro spokesperson, “You have no idea what would have happened if we’d closed down an entire branch of the system.” Mikhail Blinkin, a traffi c expert is quoted: “The city is on the brink of transportational collapse.”

Moscow was built as a series of walled forts with the Kremlin at the centre. Avant-garde Bolsheviks envisioned a “socialist Moscow of clean right angles” but the mediaeval radial structure worked (not surprisingly) for Joseph Stalin, who merely widened the streets into avenues that provided “a fi ne, broad line of sight for Soviet leaders during military parades.”

While grid cities tend to function more effi ciently than radial cities, Kiichiro Hatoyama, a Japanese traffi c engineer who teaches at the Moscow State University, says this need not be decisive. In Moscow’s case, in addition to the road organization, are two critical determining factors: driver behaviour and the “the social system which is always refl ected on the roads.” Russian drivers are described as “impatient” and “angry” seizing “whatever inch of road is offered them” at however inappropriate the time.

Not surprisingly, some relief is provided for the rulers. Mr. Hatoyama also describes a traffi c system that accords special privileges for the Russian elite refl ective of its age-old feudal structure. This he says “causes many problems.” When asked if he knew of any other place with different rules for different drivers, he answered with a single word, “China.”

THE CLOVERDALE Curling Club will have a diff erent look to it in January.

A sheet of ice will be removed, bleachers will be installed at ice level and in the viewing area upstairs.

It’s all to accommodate the large crowds expected watch the B.C. Women’s Provincial Championships Jan. 17-23, 2011.

“We’re expecting 200 to 300 people a day,” said Sherry Russell, the chairperson of the organizing committee. We’ll have 10 teams, with two draws a

day, with the winner going to the Scott Tournament of Hearts in Prince Edward Island.”

Draws are tentatively scheduled for noon and 7 p.m. each day during the round robin. Four teams will advance to a playoff round Jan. 21-23.

Th e Cloverdale club jumped at the opportunity to host the annual event, wanting to follow up on momentum created by the 2010 Olympic Games in February, in which Surrey was one of three venue cities in the Lower Mainland.

“Surrey shined during the Olympics, so we wanted to jump on board,” said Russell. “It will be good to have it in Surrey, the athletes who will be competing will be good role models for our younger curlers.”

An executive committee was fi nalized last week, tasked the role of co-ordinating all that needs to be done over the next fi ve months. One priority will be recruiting 3-400 volunteers.

“We need expertise in hosting, ticket sales, and team liaison,” said Russell. “And construction, the set up will be huge for us.

“And also we need to shout out to potential spon-

sors, to help us with this event.”Anyone interested in a volunteer position can

contact Russell at [email protected]

by Alex Browne

Flamenco – the fi ery dance and music form of southern Spain – has had a fi rm local foothold for almost a decade, thanks to Jill Tunbridge’s thriving Flamenco del Mar Spanish Dance Studio.

Th e evidence will be on display once again – over two eve-nings – in the ninth annual Flamenco del Mar Festival, Sept. 3 and 4 at 8 p.m. at Coast Capital Playhouse, 1532 Johnston Rd.

True to Tunbridge’s approach, while the show will feature the perfor-mance of her own talented dance students – among them South Sur-rey’s Helen Fehrenberg and Langley’s Karla Woode – she will showcase them side by side with notables of the Canadian and international fl amenco scene.

And Tunbridge always delights in throwing the unexpected into the mix – including, this year, guest vocalist Leanne Coleman, known more for her work in blues singing.

But Tunbridge said she fi nds her invitees add excitement to the festival, while blending the technique and experience of seasoned performers with the enthusiasm of her students helps create a powerful celebratory experience in which everyone is carried along in the sheer momentum of the form.

Two of this year’s guest performers qualify as Flamenco del Mar regulars – Spanish-born guitarist Juan Carreras (Juan de Marias) and Venezuelan-born cantaora (fl amenco singer) Jafelin Heltin.

Th e third is Denise Canso, born in Manila in the Philippines, but raised in St. Catherines, Ont.

Canso, a skilled athlete, fell in love with fl a-menco while working on her graduate thesis in public health care and epidemiology at UBC.

“I was always athletic, growing up, but artistic at the same time,” she said. “I was exposed to sports and arts but never a mix of the two. But when I found fl amenco, I fi nally found something in which I could express musicality, art, physical-ity, choreography and musical composition.

“It off ers something for everyone, regardless of age, or how you look, or how you move. It’s very accessible and inclusive and that’s what drew me to it.”

Taking a break from academics, she recently spent a year and a half in Andalusia experiencing the fl amenco culture of Spain fi rsthand.

And she agrees with Tunbridge that, no matter how much exposure you’ve had to fl amenco elsewhere, studying in Spain is “like starting over.”

“I was dancing six to eight hours every day,” Canso said. “One thing I learned was patience. Th e message that got driven home to me there, was that it takes a lot of work and repetition.

“It was very diff erent – very eye-opening. I went in with no expecta-tions and it blew me away with dimensions both inside fl amenco and outside fl amenco. I’d lived in Spain before, but before being involved in fl amenco, so it was like going in with diff erent eyes.”

It’s oft en been observed that, in Spain, people don’t so much dance fl amenco as live it. But Canso said that, while that may have been par-ticularly true in the past, fl amenco is changing and adapting as Spanish artists come to terms with the explosion of interest in the form from outside the country.

“Th ey’re catering to the foreigners more,” she said. “Th e majority of people learning fl amenco there are foreigners. Th ey’re having to adapt to what the market needs. It’s an exciting and dynamic time in

fl amenco.”Canso, who still counts herself as a relative newcomer to performing

fl amenco, said she appreciates being given opportunities such as the upcoming festival – and Tunbridge’s knack of bringing people together who share the same passion. When she worked with Carreras and Heltin this summer at the Toronto Flamenco Festival, it was a pleasant surprise to learn that all three would be re-united in White Rock.

“I really trust Jafelin and Juan, and we really work well together. I’m looking forward to working with them again – it’s awesome,” Canso said.

And there’s no reason, Tunbridge added, for anyone to feel intimi-dated in the close-knit world of fl amenco, no matter how experienced or inexperienced they are.

“We’ve all been there, and we support each other. Th e thing about fl amenco is that it has to be natural. You have to, literally, ‘dance as if nobody’s watching.’ We can all do it, but you need to put the mileage in.”

Tickets ($20) are available from Tunbridge, 604-542-2096, Coast Capital Playhouse, 604-536-7535, or Christopher’s Gift Gallery, 604-535-1199.

THE TOP 22 was win-nowed down to the top 20 on So You Th ink

You Can Dance Can-ada Tuesday night, and local dancers emerged from the fi rst elimina-

tion show unscathed.Danielle Gardner,

Nathalie Heath and Kristen Wicklund

will now advance in the popular televised competition.

Surrey is well-repre-sented in this season’s show.

Gardner, Heath and Wicklund were chosen from about 150 dancers that were selected from an audi-tion phase held across Canada earlier this year.

Gardner has been dancing since she was a toddler, attended Langley Fine Arts School and is experi-enced in all types of dance. Heath started dancing at age four and in addition to contemporary, is trained in jazz, bal-let, modern, musical theatre, street jazz and hip hop. Wicklund, who is listed as being from Vancouver, but attended high school in Surrey, has a background mainly

in ballet, but she’s also experienced in other styles through her formal training.

Th e dancers are paired up with part-ners each week, and the viewing audience will vote for their favourites as they

compete in styles such as hip-hop, salsa, contemporary and quickstep.

Two competitors are eliminated each week, and one dancer will take home the $100,000 grand prize.

Th e local trio join

Abbotsford dancer Charlene Hart to comprise the four B.C. dancers in the compe-tition.

Th e next perfor-mance show is Aug. 30 on CTV, with an elimination episode to follow Aug. 31.

PEOPLEVideo wins man SUVSOUTH SURREY resident John Banovich found himself with the keys to a brand new 2010 Toyota 4Runner aft er his short video was selected by Toyota Canada as the grand-prize winner of the company’s video contest.

Banovich’s video, which Toyota reps called “humourous and imaginative,” was selected from about 200 entries from

across the country.According to a release, the

contest was created by Toyota so “Toyota

truck enthusi-asts could share their passion, excitement and stories.”Entrants were

asked to submit a short video describing why they

love trucks, or why they deserved to win.To see Banovich’s winning entry – titled “Practicing driv-

Award for techie teacherLEE FERRIER, a teacher at Surrey’s Lord Tweedsmuir Second-ary school, is one of three B.C. teachers chosen as a winner in CDW Canada’s Teaching With Technology contest.

Ferrier told the story of how he was able to engage stu-dents with technology in a school that only had 45 comput-ers for more than 1,600 students.

In his Grade 12 remedial English class, Ferrier used a class website and a wiki to transform a student from “the sleeping guy at the back of the room” into an active learner and peer-teacher.

“Th at experience, and several others like it, have changed the way I teach,” Ferrier wrote in his submission. “Wikis and web pages are only two tools of many that are available: the fi gurative tip of the iceberg. I now not only provide students with the choice to demonstrate their learning through vari-ous technological means (from creating Facebook profi les for characters to digital storytelling), but encourage students to seek out new methods using the latest techno-tools.

“Whether students are fi lming video, recording audio, creating a mashup, or creating some other representation of their learning, an unfortunate common theme is evident – a distinct lack of hardware.”

Ferrier won a prize bundle valued at about $2,500.

SEVENTY-ONE McDonald’s restaurants from throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley combined to raise $38,367 for Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation during this year’s McHappy Day.

Th e fundraising drive, with volunteers including political leaders, police offi cers, fi refi ghters and paramedics, saw res-taurants donate one dollar from every Big Mac sandwich, McMuffi n sandwich and Happy Meal sold. Customers frequently added to the donation with their own personal contributions.

“McDonald’s enthusiasm for McHappy Day was matched by their customers,” said Foundation Chair Jacy Wingson. “We even had one person pull up to the drive-through and hand a hundred dollar bill to a Foundation representa-tive.”

Th e amount raised is part of McDonald’s pledge of $200,000 towards Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation’s Emergency Centre Cam-paign. Th e gift will go towards pediatric emergency care.

Surrey Memorial Hospital’s current ER – the busiest in B.C. – was designed to handle about 44,000 visits a year but instead saw more than 87,000 patients last year. Of those patients, 20 per cent were children.

Th e new Emergency Centre will include a separate chil-dren’s ER, as well as a separate mental health and addictions section, an enhanced minor treatment unit, and an improved area for acute patients.

Th e children’s section will be bright and family-oriented and will include fully equipped nursing stations as well as

a dedicated bed area. Th e Emergency Centre will be part of the Critical Care Tower project, with

construction scheduled to begin in 2011.Since McHappy Day was introduced in

1977, the national one-day fundraising event has raised nearly $32 million for RMHC, the Ronald McDonald House program and local children’s charities across Canada. In addition, McDonald’s donates 10 cents from every Happy Meal sold every day in Canada to RMHC which has raised more than $27 million to date. As a result of the continued McHappy Day success in Canada, it will now be celebrated annually worldwide – uniting McDonald’s restaurants around

the world in support of children in need.Established in 1992, Surrey Memorial Hospital Founda-

tion has raised more than $50 million to purchase medical equipment, fund innovative programs, and support training and research.

INVASIVE PLANT species were removed from Blackie Spit last week by volunteers with Salmon Habitat Restoration Program (SHaRP) and Surrey’s Natural Areas

Partnership (SNAP).Th e youth environ-

mental programs hosted the Aug. 18 habitat resto-ration event – which was open to the public – to address common tansy, a plant that out-competes native vegetation and

reduces the diversity of food and shelter avail-able to wildlife.

According to a release, tansy removal – which can be done by hand or mowing – is necessary to prevent colonization of natural habitats.

EVERYTHING MUST GO!!

IT’S AMAZING HOW just a few years ago, ornamental grasses were a bit of a novelty on the West Coast. A few plants could be spotted here and there, usually in profession-ally designed landscapes or at the homes of gardeners who had a real passion for grasses. Now, they have become mainstream as folks realize their potential to lift summer and fall gardens to the next level.

Appreciation of ornamental grasses is not something you cultivate overnight. It takes a while to understand the nature of each variety of grass and to see what it looks like during every season of the year.

Most grasses, once established in a site they enjoy, are virtually carefree: a little watering in sum-mer, a little protection in winter for the tender varieties and an annual pruning.

Many grasses, such as miscant-hus, which really plumes up in late summer, literally shine when back-lit by the warm golden sunlight so unique to fall. For many winters now, we’ve enjoyed evergreen grasses, such as carex and acorus caressing the edges of hanging baskets and containers. Today, there are fabulous grass selections that, by themselves, make contain-ers spectacular. Grasses have so much to off er – they’re plants for all seasons. We just have to learn how to use them to add new life in so many areas of our gardens.

My fi ve favourite grass families are the miscanthus, pennisetums,

carex, acorus and fescues. Miscanthus are medium to

tall showpieces that make great focal points in mid-sized or large gardens. Th eir summer fl owers not only add a fresh spark to hot, dry gardens, but they also continue through the winter. Tall varieties, like Miscanthus Giganteus, or as sometimes called Robustus (Zone 6), grow eight to 10 feet tall with long green leaves touched with a bit of silver. Th ey make a great screen by mid-June, and their bronze fl ower tuft s are truly magnifi cent.

One of the most sought aft er miscanthus, however, is Porcupine Grass (M. strictus – Zone 5). Th is six- to seven-foot-tall grass has gold bands along its leaves and a tall upright habit, making it espe-cially elegant.

Another wonderfully elegant variety is M. Mysterious Maiden hich also has gold bands and a strong upright vase-shaped habit. Th e white and green variegated Miscanthus sinensis Variegatus (Zone 6), although a little more tender, is still a great garden accent.

If it’s the “wow” factor you are looking for, then M. Cosmopolitan and M. Cabaret, with their wide leaves and brilliant white and green variegation, will create the dramatic look you are hoping to achieve. Th ey only bloom in long, warm fall weather, but in dark green peren-nial borders or in lawn areas with a great many trees around, they are the spark that can ignite a garden.

Th e most beautiful grass of all,

bar none, is Purple Fountain Grass (Pennisetum setaceum Rubrum – Zone 8).

Alas, to survive our winters it must be lift ed and brought inside to grow on, but it is the focal point of all focal points. Surrounded by anything pink, it is magnifi cence plus. Among the hardy varieties, I like Pennisetum Hameln and Piglet because they bloom so early, are short and give you plumes now when you need them to enhance both your annual and perennial beds.

Th eir pink-beige fl owers on short stems are prolifi c, and they look especially good in small beds or containers. Blending various pennisetums together can create some wonderful eff ects. It’s like a thousand bunny tail plumes dancing in the summer and fall breezes, adding a whole new dimension to your garden. Surround these plants with golden rudbeckias, orange heleniums, the pinks and purples of echinaceas or the new sedums now available in many colours.

Each fall and winter, we’ve been using more and more evergreen carex, acorus and fescues, along with evergreen perenni-als, to create some pretty amazing eff ects. My all-time favourite, Carex Evergold, (Zone 6) has soft yellow and green variegated foliage with a soft drooping habit. I also love the soft silver-green, hair-like stems of Carex comans Frosty Curls (Zone 6). It is mag-nifi cent fl owing over baskets and containers. With a little protec-tion, they will tolerate most win-ters in a container. In the ground, they are like beacons of light all winter long, especially on those really dark, dreary days.

Th e most amazing acorus is one

called Ogon. It’s a short (10-inch or 20-centimetre) variegated, mostly gold variety with some green edging that truly deserves to be a focal point. It’s a natural for containers, hanging baskets and small planting areas. What made me appreciate this jewel is its hardiness. Last year’s severe cold with wind chill didn’t even

faze this plant. Fescue grasses have

been around for ages and are well known and used in dry and diffi cult areas. In our region, they need very well-drained soils and the hotter the exposure the better. Th ere are many new varieties available, but the blues are, by far, the most popular.

Folks, if you’re new to grasses, proceed

slowly. Try a few this summer and see how they can heighten the eff ect of your late summer, fall and winter gardens. I like to plant them fairly close together for an instant eff ect and to choke out weeds. Th e basic rule, however, is to plant them as far apart as their height. Th e grasses I have men-tioned are not invasive, and they will all add a whole new vision to your garden.

THE SUNSHINE. Th e fertile soil. Temperate conditions.

Delta has the ideal growing conditions for plants and all manner of crops.

But do enough locals take advantage of what they literally have right in their own back-yards?

It’s a question Heather McGreer hopes will be answered when the Earthwise Society hosts its annual Grow Local Fair Sept. 4 (9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.) at the Earthwise Garden at 3rd Avenue and Boundary Bay Road.

McGreer, a graduate of South Delta Secondary and currently a student at the University of Victoria, is helping organize the event and is hoping the public takes the Earthwise Society’s invitation to learn more about what can work best on local soil.

Plus, it’s a chance to have some fun.

“It’s a community event, with family-friendly fundraising to celebrate our home gardeners and urban farmers and educate the community on sustain-able farming practices,” says McGreer, 21.

“It’s pretty simple. We’re try-ing to send the message that it is much easier than people think

to grow their own food. We’d like to encourage more people to do that, especially since a lot of people do have gardens. And

maybe they’re not using them as best they can.”

Th ere will also be a host of children’s’ activities.

“It’s designed to get them out in the garden to do things like a scavenger hunt,” she says. “Plus, there are farm tours to let people know what we do here on the farm.”

One of the best ways of get-ting back to the land is to attend one of the society’s workshops, McGreer adds.

“I think people in the com-munity are aware of us, but maybe don’t know a lot about the workshops we off er and the eco tours we have for the elementary schools,” she says.

But the public seems to know more about the allotment gar-dens on the site.

“Th ey are really popular,” McGreer says, adding her interest in working with the Earthwise Society for the sum-mer stems from her own lean-ings towards being kind to the environment.

“I was interested to learn more myself,” she says, noting the society is the perfect place to gain knowledge in what can be done. “I am interested in conservation, like wildlife con-servation and natural resource management.”

JOY VANDEVELDE recently told her sons she would not permit them to ride dirt bikes or ATVs any longer.

Th e mom of four is an emergency room nurse deeply concerned over the number of young kids she has seen injured from riding motorized vehicles. She says she doesn’t want her four sons – ages 14, 13, six and three – to be among them.

Nor does she want anyone else’s kids to become statistics. Vandevelde hopes to initiate a movement for tougher laws on children’s use of recreational vehicles such as ATVs, dirt bikes and motorized go-carts.

In 2004, the Canadian Pediatric Association called for enhanced legislation to control off -road vehicle use, particularly by children.

Last year, the Ontario Medical Association recommended banning children under 14 from driving ATVs.

Vandevelde supports this measure.She believes there should be an

age restriction, similar to driving a car.

“Why on Earth do we give per-mission to children to drive these types of vehicles when they don’t even have a driver’s licence?” she said.

Vandevelde, who declined to

reveal what hospital she works at, said she has seen countless injuries related to the use of such vehicles. She said some of her colleagues have witnessed deaths.

She does not believe that any amount of protective gear can keep a child safe.

“I’ve had kids where I’ve had to cut the $2,000 gear off just to get to a fracture.”

Dr. Iain MacPhail, medical direc-tor of trauma services for Fraser Health, said local numbers are not as high as one would think for serious injuries related to kids’ use of motor-ized vehicles.

Th ere are no specifi c statistics related to ATVs, dirt bikes or similar machines, which are categorized under vehicle injuries. MacPhail said this category includes everything from skateboards to cars.

Th e most recent fi gures cover the period from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. During that time, Abbots-ford Regional Hospital admitted 31 kids (under the age of 15) for injuries from vehicular crashes.

“Pediatric trauma is actually fairly rare,” MacPhail said.

Figures for less serious injuries that did not require admittance are not available, but MacPhail said these situations typically include fractures, head injuries, broken

pelvises and collapsed lungs.He said the more serious injuries

tend to be incurred by teens over the age of 16 who oft en don’t have parental supervision and tend to be more reckless.

MacPhail agrees that tougher legislation might be in order.

“Th e biggest issues with ATVs and dirt bikes is that a lot of these

people aren’t very experienced drivers and they’re not wearing helmets.... To operate any kind of vehicle, I think you should pass a standard.”

B.C. is currently the only prov-ince in Canada that does not have regulations for mandatory helmet use on ATVs nor any age-related driving restrictions.

However, the provincial Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts plans to implement by November 2011 regulations surrounding the use of off -road vehicles (ORV), including ATVs, dirt bikes and snowmobiles. Th ey will not apply to use on private land.

Among the regulations are those requiring all ORV riders to wear a helmet and for youth less than 16 years old to be under adult supervision, riding a machine sized appropriately for their age and weight, and travelling at reduced speed limits.

Failure to comply could result in a $500 fi ne per off ence.

Th e “ORV management frame-work” was developed by a coalition consisting of 11 organizations, including ATV riders, dirt bike clubs, snowmobilers, environ-mental and recreation groups, and more.

A “compliance and enforce-ment strategy” is in the process of being developed. Th is will include an education component to help achieve voluntary compliance of the regulations.

ER nurse decries kids’ ATVs, dirt bikes40 Friday August 27 2010 Surrey North Delta Leader

Wants to initiate a movement for tougher laws regarding off-road vehicles and children

by Vikki Hopes

TOUGHER LEGISLATION on kids’ use of ATVs and dirt bikes will hurt responsible families and have little impact on reckless riders, say two proponents of the activities.

Karen Granger, communications director with the Fraser Valley Dirt Riders Association (FVDRA), and Ken Bryant, president of the Lower Mainland ATV Club (LMATV), said they would hesitate to support any movement to limit the use of such vehicles to those 16 years and older.

Granger said there are risks of injury in any sport and no amount of legislation will aff ect those who choose to be careless.

Organizations such as the FVDRA promote family-oriented, responsible riding, she said. Th ey emphasize the use of proper safety gear, parental supervision, and rider training.

“I can’t remember the last time someone was injured,” Granger said.

She and her husband ride with their 10-year-old son, whom she said experiences numerous benefi ts, including camaraderie with other kids, knowledge of

mechanics, and physical fi tness. “Th ese kids are not watching TV. Th ey’re not play-

ing video games. It’s complete outdoor activity all day long,” she said.

Bryant expressed similar views in sharing ATV riding with his 16-year-old daughter and 15-year-old son, although he is open to considering some restric-tions.

Th e ATV community would need to be involved in that process, he said.

“I would support tougher regulations for kids as long as those regulations don’t make it impossible for responsible parents to enjoy the sport with their kids.”

Bryant said parental supervision and the use of protective gear are crucial elements of responsible ATV riding.

“Th e biggest problem is that some parents allow their kids to ride without supervision and oft en with-out so much as a helmet. Kids are always pushing the limits and trying to copy stunts they’ve seen on TV. It’s a recipe for disaster.”

Clubs balk at changes ATV injury numbers:

There were more than 4,000 hospital visits due to ATV-related injuries in 2004-05, according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information.

Children less than 16 years of age account for almost one-third of ATV injury-related emergency department visits and 30 per cent or more of ATV injury hospitalizations, according to the Canadian Pediatric Society (CPS).

The CPS says almost half of all ATV deaths occur in children under the age of 16.

The majority of injuries are fractures and dislocations. Head injuries are also common.

Last year, the Ontario Medical Association recommended banning children under age 14 from driving ATVs. A local mother wants a similar ban in B.C.

may be able to vote where you are residing. To find out, ask an

attendant at your residence or call the Office of the Municipal

Clerk at 604-946-3220.

How Do I Vote?

At the Voting Place, once registered, and before you receive a

ballot card. You must not vote for more than one candidate.

To vote, you complete the arrow pointing to your choice like

this:

Once you have completed voting, take your ballot, inside the

secrecy sleeve provided, to the election official at the ballot

box. The official will then feed your ballot into the automated

voting machine, which ‘reads’ and records the vote you have

made.

If you mark your ballot incorrectly, or otherwise spoil the ballot,

you may return your ballot to the person in charge and obtain a

new ballot to vote again.
