DURING HIS trial for a brutal axe attack that permanently paralyzed a Surrey teen, Enrique Quintana refused to admit his guilt or explain the reasons for the attack.
Th e assault during an October 2006 youth dance at Tynehead Community Hall left Michael Levy confi ned to a wheelchair with limited upper body mobility.
Even aft er he was convicted for aggravated assault and possession of a weapon for a dan-gerous purpose in 2008, Quintana had nothing to say.
He refused an off er to make a statement
before he was sentenced, telling a puzzled Surrey Provincial Court judge that “I would like to speak aft er I’m sentenced to avoid any confusion that I may be trying to get a lighter sentence.”
But he never did.He said nothing on the day he was handed
a 10-year-sentence, and he said nothing dur-ing the appeal that saw his conviction upheld, though his sentence was reduced by seven months.
But now, the 21-year-old Quintana is trying to win early supervised release from an adult medium-security prison, and he is fi nally talk-ing about his actions.
Quintana claims that two months before the dance, Levy got into a fi ght with a friend of his.
At the dance, when someone pointed out the tall, powerfully built Levy to the much smaller Quintana, he got angry and went to his car to get a hatchet.
He claimed he carried the small axe in his car for camping and insisted he only meant to use the handle of the hatchet, not the blade.
Quintana admitted Levy had done nothing to provoke the attack the evening of the dance.
Two other teens were convicted for partici-pating in the swarming attack.

IT’S A hot aft ernoon in North Surrey and Tyrone, who is nearly 12, has justfi nished helping water plants in the community garden and harvesting fresh vegetables to have with lunch.
Last week, he picked up trash at local parks, such as Unwin, Haw-thorne and Bear Creek.
It’s a far cry from what he was up to during summer vacation last year.
“It was pretty much trouble was all I was doing,” Tyrone admits, grin-ning guiltily at his buddy, who agrees they were usually causing havoc somewhere to entertain themselves.
Tyrone (not his real name) is part of the Wraparound Surrey Project (Wrap), an initiative targeting kids and youth at risk of joining gangs or who are already engaged in gang-related activity.
Th e proj-ect, a part-nership between the Surrey School District, Surrey RCMP, Integrated Task Force of B.C. and several service organizations, takes a multi-faceted approach, involv-ing family, friends, the school and community to provide a network of support and encouragement for students.
While the program’s participants would usually only attend during the school year, many Wrap youth are staying involved over July and August.

“The teachers and staff at Stenberg were very supportive throughout my entire program … Working towards completion of this program requires a lot of hard work but because everyone in the class cooperates and encourages each other to succeed, it helped me a lot.”– Amanda P.
Gary Oliver, of North Surrey’s Cinemazoo, is moving his creatures into a new home, the former Rainforest Reptile Refuge at 1395 176 St.An Albino California King snake is coming home as Cinemazoo acquired the snake when the Rainforset Reptile Refuge closed down.

Movie stars on the moveby Tracy Holmes
NEARLY THREE years aft er Rainforest Reptile Refuge closed its doors to the public, the South Surrey site is once again home to sundry creatures big and small.
And while reptiles are a strong contingent amongst Gary Oliver’s Cin-emazoo crew, they are far from the only critters in the collection he’s in the midst of relocating to the 1395 176 St. property.
“Insects, arachnids, amphibians, arthopods… birds,” Oliver lists off during a break from moving eff orts Monday.
Cinemazoo is an agency Oliver started 22 years ago. Th rough it, he provides animals for movies, televisions and print ads. He also cares for rescued and donated animals, gives presentations on conservation and runs training programs for those interested in careers such as zookeeping, wrangling or wildlife photography.
Oliver took over the South Surrey site Aug. 1, about a year aft er refuge caretakers threw in the towel fol-lowing long-term staffi ng and fi nancial diffi culties. Th e crowded facility had housed upwards of 300 abused, injured and aban-doned exotic animals for about two decades prior.
When the refuge shut down, Oliver took in about 30 of its charges, most of them snakes. A cayman, tarantulas and a tortoise were also in the mix.
Unfortunately, nearly a third of those creatures died within a week, an outcome Oliver says was the result of malnutrition. Th e tortoise is start-ing to improve, he notes, “but he’s mean.”
It’s unclear exactly where the other refuge animals went. Oliver believes they were sent to new homes in the Toronto area.
Former refuge director Jordan McBain – who hasn’t been involved with the refuge since before it closed down – also believes the animals were successfully relocated.
“As far as I know, they did fi nd homes for all of them,” McBain said.
Th e South Surrey facility has since been gutted, and outlines on the concrete fl oor are all that’s left of the animal enclosures that existed before. Planned renova-tions include creating a secure enclosure for Cinema-zoo’s venomous snakes. As well, larger digs are in the works for a pair of American alligators and caymans.
Many of the materials and tools needed for the job have been donated, Oliver noted, including a “huge” trailer being used for the move. It’s community support he described as “amazing.”
Oliver saw similar support late last year, following word Cinemazoo was facing eviction from its North Surrey site, at 13591 King George Blvd. A drop in interest in Cinemazoo’s educational programs – Oliver does presentations with some of the animals as part of conservation eff orts –
Children’s ministry approves foster
child’s tripby Sheila Reynolds
FRANKIE BONES, a gift ed musician who was initially denied the oppor-tunity to travel to the U.S. to study piano, is now allowed to go.
Th e Ministry of Children and Family Development emailed Th e Leader Friday aft ernoon saying that although it cannot comment on the specifi cs of the case, “we can confi rm the ministry has now been able to approve a plan whereby the youth can attend school in Washington State.”
A spokesman said the issue was never about holding the boy back, but ensuring, as any prudent parent would, that all the necessary supports and safeguards were in place.
A professor at Walla Walla Uni-versity, aft er hearing 18-year-old Frankie play last fall, had said he was interested in developing the teen’s talent while he fi nished his fi nal year of high school at nearby Walla Walla Valley Academy.
Money has been raised to cover Frankie’s tuition and host families have off ered to care for him.
However, because he’s in foster care, the ministry is technically his legal guardian until he is 19. Minis-try staff had initially told Frankie’s foster family he didn’t have permis-sion to go.
A Facebook page set up to support Frankie noted Friday the family had gone to Washington to attend the university’s orientation day.

with kids involved in
the WRAP program.
EVAN SEAL THE LEADER
Th anks to funding from the Com-munity-University Research Alliance (CURA) at Kwantlen Polytechnic Uni-versity, youth workers with the Surrey RCMP and school district have been able to stay connected with the kids for the summer and keep them occupied.
Teens from 11 to 16 have been spending their days both volunteering and getting paid work experience in the community, doing everything from tending to the community garden and picking up garbage, to cleaning rabbit hutches and horse stables at the SPCA. In between, they burn energy playing soccer, bocce
ball, football or going camping.“Th e idea is to keep them busy,” says
Surrey RCMP Const. John Wilson. “When they’re not doing work experi-ence, they’re involved in recreational activities.”
Keeping youth engaged and provid-ing a means of legitimate income is key, agrees Rob Rai, assistant manger, safe schools for the Surrey School District.
“By the time the kids are done with us, they’re exhausted, want to go home and they have to get up early the next day.”
And instead of the youth heading into the weekend with a pocketful of cash, Coast Capital Savings Credit
Union has come on board, setting up bank accounts for the students and their parents.
If the community garden plot pro-duces a lot of vegetables, the youth will donate it to students who might not have enough food at home, or to the food bank.
While the tomatoes and lettuce are coming along nicely, some potatoes were stolen from the garden last week.
“It was neat to see the kids had a lot of pride and were upset that someone would come in and take from them,” Rai said, adding it also provided a good lesson on how theft impacts the com-munity.

and Robert Alexander Green hit Levy with a bottle.
Both were given shorter jail terms than Quintana, who sprayed Levy with bear spray and hit him three times in the neck, back and side with an axe, severing Levy’s spine.
As Levy lay helpless and unable to move on the fl oor, Quintana kicked him several times.
Quintana denies using bear spray or kicking Levy while he was down, a parole board hearing was told.
He still believes “that violence and carrying a weapon was an appropriate manner in which to deal with interpersonal confl ict,” notes a parole board written deci-sion rejecting Quintana’s applica-
tion for an early release.Quintana has continued to
downplay his involvement in the Levy attack and has been a violent and uncooperative inmate, the parole board was told.
Among other things, Quintana participated in a swarming attack that sent another inmate to an out-side medical facility in May of 2008; was placed in solitary confi nement for being disruptive in February of 2009; and was busted with drug paraphernalia in August of 2009.
A psychologist has rated him “at least a moderate risk for violent recidivism” due to “emotional instability” coupled with his refusal to accept full responsibility for his actions.

prompted by a dip in the economy had left Oliver struggling to pay rent and utility bills. Aft er word of the plight got out, donations total-ling around $10,000 poured in.
Th e move to South Surrey not only gives Cinemazoo an addi-tional 2,000 square feet (up from the 4,500 square feet the animals occupied in North Surrey), but it shaves a considerable chunk off the tab for rent – money Oliver says will benefi t the animals.
He’s determined to have Cinemazoo up and running next month, and is anxious to continue its edu-cational component. Oliver estimates the agency’s conservation presentations reach about 45,000 children annually. He also shares information on the ani-mals at seniors centres, hospitals and other community locations.
Educating youngsters on the animals is the best way to ensure the creatures’ future, OIiver said.
“If we don’t make the kids aware, there’s going to be a huge problem.”
Oliver described the move to South Surrey as “a stepping stone to what we really want.” Th e goal is to create a state-of-the-art educa-tion and ecology centre, a project that would require a much larger property to bring to fruition, he said. Th at goal is still years away, however. Until then, “this is nice, this’ll do us for a while,” Oliver said, surveying Cinemazoo’s new home.
“We’re looking forward to a lot of good things.”

DINOTOWN COULD be coming to Surrey.The 35-year-old theme park at Bridal Falls in
Chilliwack is set to close Sept. 6, but owner Rob Ell says the City of Surrey Economic Develop-ment office has approached him about relocat-ing the cuddly dinosaurs, cartoon-like vehicles and games.
“We have multiple locations that we’re look-ing at,” Ell said Monday.
“Surrey is one of them.”He said he has also been approached by
private developers in South Surrey, the Alder-grove Zoo, the City of Burnaby and the “largest Ostrich farm in China.”
There were discussions with the PNE in Van-couver, but they didn’t pan out, Ell said.
He said it will be “at least six months” before he makes a decision,
In the meantime, all of the theme park prop-erty will be put in storage.
Billed as “North America’s only cartoon
dinosaur town,” Dinotown is located just off Highway 1 near Bridal Falls.
Ell sold his dinosaur adventure land to Tri-R Development Group in Chilliwack, which plans to develop an RV park on the 18-acre property.
Dinotown was originally launched as Bedrock City in 1975 by Ell’s dad Bob.
It was a theme park that featured buildings and characters from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon television series The Flintstones. It was one of just four such parks in North America.
The elder Ell built stone pedal cars and flat-rock buildings and dino-cranes with tails to slide down, just like Fred Flintstone had. He built bumper cars and paddy wagons and pedal boats too.
But in 1994, after Hanna-Barbera was sold to Warner Brothers, the owners of the Flinstones likenesses cancelled the contract.
The revised Dinotown, featuring a family of hip dinosaurs, opened in 1995.

In a nation where it’s estimated that 41 per cent of residents are fi rst- and second-generation immigrants, it’s diffi cult to comprehend the vitriolic – and inaccurate – comments being said about the Tamil migrants now in our midst.
Eariler this month, 492 people from Sri Lanka arrived off the coast of B.C. aboard the MV Sun Sea. A recent Angus Reid Poll reported that 83 per cent of Canadians were upset that the Tamil migrants jumped the immigration queue; 63 per cent wanted Canada to turn the MV Sun Sea away; and just 35 per cent would allow the Tamil migrants to claim refugee status.
First off , there has been no “queue-jumping.” Refugees, unlike immigrants, can claim status at any point of entry in Canada – including airports, the U.S.-Canada border, or in the Tamils’ case, in Canadian waters – at any time and without advance notice.
Queues are in place for would-be Canadians abroad (ie. skilled workers or investors) who are in safe enough situations to be able to fi ll out forms and send in applications.
Refugees are fl eeing desperate conditions that put the lives of themselves and their families at risk.As for turning the boat away, do we really want to go there again?In May 1914, 376 people from India aboard the Komagata Maru arrived in Vancouver.Aft er much public outcry and political opposition, the Royal Canadian Navy forced the vessel
from the harbour, and following four miserable months at sea, 20 passengers were killed and nine wounded in an altercation when the ship arrived back in Calcutta.
Two years ago this month, Prime Minister Stephen Harper – speaking to a crowd of approxi-mately 8,000 people in Bear Creek Park – apologized for the Komagata Maru incident.
Are the Tamils somehow deserving of diff erent treatment?Currently incarcerated, their backgrounds will be investigated – including allegations of terrorist
links and people-smuggling activity.Canada is not awash in refugees, accepting less than 20,000 annually. Meanwhile, 20 million
people displaced from their homes around the world are taken in by poverty-stricken countries in Africa, the Middle East and South Asia. With all of our wealth, Canada accepts less than 0.01 per cent of global refugees.
As for “allowing” the migrants to claim refugee status, as a signatory to several international agreements, Canada has a legal – if not moral – obligation to review all refugee claims.
In 1994, wrestler Daniel Igali – in Victoria to compete in the Commonwealth Games – skipped his return fl ight home and applied for refugee status in a bid to escape poverty and unrest in his native Nigeria.
He of course went on to become a Surrey-based hero who won Olympic gold in 2000. He later built a school in Nigeria to help fellow countrymen struggling as he once did.
Who among the Tamils could be the next Daniel Igali?More importantly, who are we to deny them the opportunity based on misinformation and a
disturbing (considering our successful pluralism) animosity towards outsiders?
Fans of Bill Vander Zalm’s Harmonized Sales Tax “extinguishment” petition were quick to gloat when the B.C. Su-preme Court ruled Friday that the peti-
tion can proceed to the next step.“I hear there’s a special today on crow pie,”
a Vernon reader said in one of the more polite emails I received.
Th e same reader scoff ed at my argument of last week that scrapping the HST would result in a “nightmare of service cuts” in B.C.
“If reversing the HST would be a mess, lay the blame where it belongs – at Gordon Camp-bell’s feet.”
I guess if blame is all that’s important to you, this is suffi cient. But it’s our grandchildren who might be eating crow pie and dandelion greens if my generation of baby boom voters contin-ues to gobble up more and more expensive services while paying less and less income tax in a world that’s quite happy to take away our industrial base.
And make no mistake, scrapping the HST would be a mess, and a costly one. Vander
Zalm’s petition calls on the government to reimburse “all British Columbians on a per capita basis” for any HST paid beyond what would have been charged by the Provincial Sales Tax.
I asked Finance Minister Colin Hansen what that might cost. He declined to speculate, except to say that it would be “administratively very diffi cult.”
I’ll say. And the huge cost would of course be on top of repaying the $1.6 billion federal transition fund.
Th en there are the rebates. If you are in the lower income range and were receiving quarterly GST rebate cheques from the federal govern-ment, you will now start receiving larger HST rebates. Vander Zalm’s petition neglects to consider those, just as it forgets about the hotel room tax that made way for the HST.
If the HST is scrapped, the government could try to claw back all those low-income
rebates. But since that would also be admin-istratively diffi cult, not to mention politically suicidal, the government of the day would probably just let the provincial defi cit grow some more. Our grandchildren can pay it
back, if they can fi nd jobs in B.C.’s uncompetitive tax struc-ture. But hey, we sure would teach the federal and provincial governments a lesson.
Contrary to the wishes of some HST haters, Chief Justice Robert Bauman of the B.C. Supreme Court did not endorse Vander Zalm’s petition, or determine whether any work-able outcome can result from it.
Bauman narrowed his ruling to get this political hot potato
off his desk, and that of the much-maligned Chief Electoral Offi cer. He declined to consider whether Vander Zalm’s proposed legislation is constitutional, noting that it “may never be enacted in that initial form,” given that it could
be amended or defeated in the legislature.Even if it passes more or less as is, the
proposed legislation only calls for B.C. to with-draw from its fi ve-year HST agreement with Ottawa. Th e federal legislation to collect the tax would remain.
“Whether that will lead to … the extinguish-ment of the HST in British Columbia remains to be seen,” Bauman wrote.
Th e petition was formally sent to the legisla-ture on Monday and the standing committee must convene its fi rst meeting in September. It will have until December to debate the draft legislation that was included in the petition.
Look for the B.C. Liberal majority on the committee to push through amendments, such as raising taxes to repay the $1.6 billion federal fund. Th en we might fi nd out where the NDP actually stands on this thing.

OPINION Wednesday August 25 20106 The Surrey/North Delta Leader
The Surrey/North Delta Leader is a member of the British Columbia Press Council, a self-regulatory body governing the province’s newspaper industry. The council considers complaints from the public about the conduct of member
newspapers. Directors oversee the mediation of complaints, with input from both the newspaper and the complaint holder.

THE RECENT proposal to legalize suites in Surrey has yet again earned its share of criticism in the public.
For me, the concern is not so much city responsibility, instead it is the continuous barrage of letters that attack the people residing in these homes. If they are collecting rent to help pay for the mortgage, good for them. People worried about paying too much tax on behalf of these basement suites should either fi nd another city that enforces their need for three people per house or put them-
selves in a similar situation to take advantage of the mortgage helper, while helping the community with aff ordable housing.
Even if the suites are regulated, many people will still be upset because it doesn’t solve their own concerns of having a certain group of people live by their own values.
To me this is more than an issue of increased crime, traffi c, etc., it is a clash between two diff erent value systems in a society hiding behind the veil of superfi cial tolerance.

I AM quietly steaming over the latest news regarding the Tamil boat people stating we need to hire many more lawyers to cope with the legal work.
What a bonus for them at their hourly rates, all picked up by the taxpayer.We do not have enough police to take care of our crime, enough ambu-
lances to meet our needs, enough doctors and hospital beds to care for our own sick, or enough accommodation to care for our homeless. But we can provide all of these services plus free legal aid for people who come through the back door, whom we cannot possibly hope to identify as true refugees or terrorists and who will appeal and appeal any move to deport them, which will takes years.
My one thought was why stop at a roof, clothing, food, welfare and medical care? Let’s off er them the Olympic Village apartments.

Our wombs,
our choiceLETTER WRITER Mike Schouten needs to knock it off with the abor-tion debate. We as free women of Canada have the right to choose what happens in our wombs.
Th at said, I must say that while I have never had and never will have an abortion, I support women’s right to choose one if they want it (except for use as birth control due to being too lazy to protect yourself).
And I believe that to tamper with a woman’s right to choose is not as bad as knowing that you only care for the unborn baby and don’t give a rat’s tail aft er they’ve been born.
I would rather a child be aborted than live a life without the love of a mother because she didn’t have a choice.
Elizabeth MacDonald, Surrey
DESPITE WHAT Mr. Schouten would have us believe (“Time to re-open the abortion debate,” Leader Letters, Aug. 18), the major-ity of Canadians are not in favour of heating up this debate again.
I don’t know who was polled in the poll he mentions, but consistently, since 2001, the majority has disagreed.
A National Post survey in 2003 resulted in 78 per cent saying “women should have complete freedom on their decision to have an abortion.”
A Gallup Canada poll in 2004 resulted in 54 per cent saying abortion is “morally
acceptable.”A Gallup Canada poll in 2005 resulted in
52 per cent saying Canada’s abortion laws should “remain the same,” while a further 20 per cent said the laws should be “less strict.”
An Angus Reid poll in 2008 resulted in 46 per cent saying abortions should be permit-ted in all cases, while only 19 per cent said the laws should be stricter.
An EKOS poll in March 2010 resulted in 52 per cent describing themselves as pro-choice.
Mr. Schouten, for most Canadians, this just is not a burning issue. It was debated at
length in the 1960s. We do not want or need to return to the dark ages of back alley abor-tions which killed many.
Abortion is a women’s health issue and nobody has the right to impose their beliefs on another.
I find it very interesting that many of the vocal anti-abortion voices we hear are male. Until you can walk in the shoes of a woman who is struggling/agonizing over this deci-sion, I’m afraid you have no credibility.
C.A. Archibald,Surrey
GIVE US an earthquake in Haiti, a tsunami in Th ailand or a terror attack in Kenya, and we can show the world what we are capable of.
However, with a ship carrying Tamil refugees seeking asylum and immigration, we see the ugly side of this country, with harsh words and criticism. Compassion goes AWOL.
In Haiti many Canadians, whether directly involved on the ground there or fundraising at home, stepped up to truly do a wonderful job, including the rescuers searching for survivors and the physicians saving lives. Haitian-born Governor General Michaëlle Jean became the face of Canadian compassion, showing the entire international community Canada’s good side.
But the remarkable identifi cation with the victims of the terrible trag-edy in distant Haiti only underscores the indiff erence to the ongoing suff ering of the people elsewhere. Who cares that the men, women and
children were fl eeing mass murders, disappearances and extortion in Sri Lanka?
How many Canadians know that half of all people around the world are dependent on charity, and that our participation in military opera-tions created hundreds of amputees?
Th e Canadian newspaper reader knows about the baby pulled from the wreckage in Port-au-Prince. Few have heard about the infants who sleep in the ruins of their families’ homes in Gaza.
We take for granted, if not abuse, rights and freedoms when we apply them selectively to individuals other than ourselves. We have our PM call-ing for more prisons, but is oblivious to the world’s largest prisons, like Sri Lanka and Gaza, to name only two.
Th e disaster in Haiti was a natural one; the others are the handiwork of man. Our handiwork.

WHILE MY mailbox, and even under my apartment’s and my mother’s condo’s doors – and likely those of many other multi-unit residences – is inundated with gratuitous, commercial crap, it’s unbelievable that truly useful, and perhaps even life-saving, necessary information such as the recent coliform bacteria contamination of White Rock and a few South Sur-rey locations’ drinking water can be kept to a minimum.
I could not fi nd anything on the matter on TV, and only 1130 AM off ered any occasional insight.
I had already drunken a cup full of raw water by late Saturday (Aug. 21) before my mother received a warning from a condo neighbour. Although a single notice was posted at both locations, why not – espe-cially in regards to health matters – give each apartment and condo unit its own informative notice under the door?
What’s quite worrisome is that if there’s a considerable deterioration in the quality and consumption-safety of our drinking water, will there be a repeat of the Walkerton, Ontario tragedy?

Lemonaid to help Haiti
Davin Locke, along with family and friends, raised more $550 in just seven days selling lemonade to support an orphanage in Haiti. The
effort, called Lemonaid for Haiti, has benefi ted from the help of family and friends, and of course, thirsty passers-by.
After surpassing their initial goal of $500, the boys will continue to sell lemonade in hopes of reaching the $750 mark.

CHRISTINE STIRMAN suff ers from painful blisters and sores all over her body that her family says have worsened since the province cut the number of transfer ambulances serving the Lower Mainland.
Th e 60-year-old Surrey grand-mother of two makes frequent trips to Surrey Memorial Hospi-tal for treatment of both Amyo-trophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease) and a severe case of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease she contracted this summer.
But she’s experienced long delays since July 1, when the provincial government removed 14 transfer ambulances from service on the expectation pri-vate contractors hired by health authorities could take over at a saving of $5.9 million.
“Once they cut the transfer ambulance service, that’s when our nightmare began,” husband Wayne Mitchell said Monday. “It’s wrong. It’s dangerous. And it
has aff ected my wife’s health.”He said it can take several
hours for her to get back to her Newton home from treatment at the hospital as a result of ambu-lance service delays, resulting in his wife sometimes returning home long aft er midnight.
Stirman can communicate only by blinking her eyes.
But her daughter believes her mother’s condition is worsened by extended, unneces-sary stays on stretchers while awaiting an ambulance home from Surrey’s ER, where she is contagious and can potentially spread the virus that causes her blisters to other patients.
Before the change, Stirman never waited longer than 90 minutes for a transfer ambu-lance.
NDP health critic Adrian Dix said the province should immediately reverse its decision to impose the 36-per-cent cut to
transfer ambulance service – a reduction equivalent to eliminat-ing 30,000 transfers a year.
“It has led to long wait times, with some patients waiting until two or three in the morning before they get back to their hos-pital room or home,” Dix said.
Health minister Kevin Falcon could not be reached for com-
ment by Th e Leader’s print deadline.
Tim Philley, the Lower Mainland direc-tor of operations for the B.C. Ambulance Service (BCAS), said “we did see some delays in July.”
He said service levels were reassessed in early August and four additional transfer ambulances were added
to the Lower Mainland fl eet.Some ambulances were repo-
sitioned to diff erent bases this week to reduce delays, he added.
Th e transport service set up by health authorities are for patients requiring no medical care on board, while patients needing
constant care like Stirman need a BCAS transfer ambulance.
Most transfers are pre-booked.Philley said most recent trans-
fers for Stirman were on time or close to it, but added two longer delays happened when she was taken to SMH on an emergency basis.
As a result, no transfer could be booked until aft er she was treated, and on at least one occasion that didn’t happen until late at night, aft er the transfer paramedics were off shift .
Philley said a transfer home is a lower priority call than emergencies, so further delays can occur when someone like Stirman must take a regular ambulance home aft er hours.
Th e service went from performing more than 300 inter-hospital transfers a day in the Lower Mainland to between 200 and 225 aft er July 1, he said.
Philley said 82 per cent of transfers are currently done on time.

STEVE FONYO’S sto-rybook wedding to his fi ance on the Victoria beach that bears his name can proceed aft er all.
Th e 45-year-old Surrey resident was released from jail last week aft er an unidentifi ed benefac-tor put up the $20,000 bail in the wake of Fonyo’s arrest on credit card fraud charges.
It’s the latest develop-ment in a rollercoaster year for Fonyo, who made a historic one-legged run across Can-ada for cancer research in 1985 and was awarded the Order of Canada – only to have the honour stripped this year amid continued trouble with the law.
Fonyo and fi ance Lisa Greenwood can now wed as planned at Fonyo Beach in Victoria on Aug. 28.
It was there that Fonyo, who lost a leg to cancer at age 12, ended his epic cross-Canada journey that raised $13 million for cancer research.
No travel restrictions
were imposed, so the pair can even fl y abroad for a honeymoon if they choose.
Fonyo’s lawyer Mani Sandhu would not dis-close who posted Fonyo’s bail.
Fonyo’s next appear-ance on the fraud allega-tions is set for Sept. 13.
He was arrested in early August for allegedly using a bogus credit card at a North Delta gas sta-tion three times.
Fonyo, who has a
lengthy criminal record, is facing trial on a num-ber of other, unrelated matters that include alleged possession of stolen property, being in a stolen vehicle, driving while suspended and breach of probation.
His well-publicized struggles with alcohol and cocaine resulted in the stripping of his Order of Canada medal earlier this year.
Greenwood herself fi nished serving a short
jail sentence for shoplift -ing last month.
Th e fi rst attempt at arranging a wedding for Fonyo and Greenwood fell apart aft er a group of Vancouver Island businesses who off ered to cater the wedding learned about Green-wood’s conviction and pulled their support.
A retired fl orist from Saanich, Norma Fitzsim-mons, stepped in to fi ll the gap with donations from other businesses.

A FAKE fi re extinguisher inspector is targeting businesses in Cloverdale, prompting the Surrey RCMP to ask for help spreading the word before more victims fall prey to the scam.
Th e suspect apparently walks in off the street,
off ering to certify fi re extinguishers for cash.
Th e problem is, he isn’t certifi ed and the inspection tags or used replacement fi re extin-guishers he leaves behind are bogus.
“It’s one of those crimes that people don’t actually know happened,” says Carrie Chattell, crime prevention program coordinator for the Surrey RCMP’s Cloverdale/Port Kells district offi ce.
“Th ey just think they had their fi re extin-guisher replaced. Th ey don’t know, unless some-body tells them, that this guy isn’t accredited.”
Th e amount of money he asks for varies, but in one case, the fraudulent inspector walked off with approximately $500.
Th e suspect is a grey-haired Caucasian male of medium height and weight. He drives a bur-gundy four-door car.
In the past, a similar scam involved someone passing his business off as Paul’s Fire Protection or Metro Fire Service – but neither business is registered in the province
of B.C., Chattell says.When a similar report
surfaced recently, Chat-tell immediately sent out a warning to all the local businesses on her mail-ing list.
Th e warning resulted in reports from all over Cloverdale.
Fortunately, a lot of businesses were wise enough to send the man
on his way, without fall-ing prey to the scam.
She says a neighbour-hood liaison unit is investigating the scam. But the Surrey RCMP is asking local businesses to help spread the word in order to catch the culprit.
People need to ask more questions.
“In B.C., you need to be accredited to perform this service,” she says.
Fire inspectors are licensed through the Applied Science Technol-ogists and Technicians of British Columbia.
Anyone operating a legitimate business will carry proper credentials. It’s a good idea to ask to see identifi cation before agreeing to any service, Chattel says.
You can check out a business or charity – or fi le a complaint – through the Better Busi-ness Bureau, which can be done online at http://mbc.bbb.org
Anyone who thinks they might have seen the fraud artist is asked to call the Surrey RCMP’s non-emergency line at 604-599-0502.

IT’S TIME once again to stuff that bus – with much-needed school supplies, that is.
Stuff the Bus is a campaign to ensure all children in the com-
munity head back to class next month with the necessary supplies.
Th e Surrey School District has partnered with Guildford Town Centre and Staples Canada for Stuff the Bus along with support from Th e Surrey-North Delta Leader.
“Th e Stuff the Bus program is a way for everyone in our community, whether as an individual, family or business to come together and do something posi-tive for Surrey,” says Peggy White, general manager of Guildford Town Centre. “We are extremely happy to be able to help students in need.”
In 2009, Stuff the Busraised almost $22,000 in supplies and dona-tions.
“Th e Stuff the Bus campaign gives our disadvantaged students a better chance for success and supports families that struggle to aff ord all the essen-tial school supplies,” says Surrey Board of Education chair Laurae McNally.
Until Sept. 7, the public is invited to make cash donations or drop off school supplies at Guildford Town Centre, Staples on King George High-way or Staples in South Surrey.
Th e donations and school supplies will then be distributed by the Surrey School District to the schools and families that need them.

THE PETITION to get rid of the Harmo-nized Sales Tax in B.C. should proceed to the legislature, the Chief Justice of the B.C. Supreme Court has ruled.
Justice Robert Bauman ruled Friday that the petition should be forwarded to a legislature committee, despite argu-ments from a coalition of businesses that the province doesn’t have the authority to repeal a federal tax.
Bauman quoted Premier Gor-don Campbell’s description of the 700,000-name petition as a “victory for democracy” whose fl aws can be dealt with by the legislature. It’s the fi rst suc-cessful citizen initiative in the 20-year history of B.C.’s Recall and Initiative Act, gathering support of at least 10 per cent of registered voters in each of the province’s 85 constituencies.
Former premier Bill Vander Zalm, who headed the petition drive, said the ruling clears the way for the B.C. Lib-eral government to act on the petition and they should do so this fall or he
will start recall campaigns against B.C. Liberal MLAs on Nov. 15.
Bauman’s ruling noted there are legal questions about the petition to remove the 12-per-cent sales tax, which is based on a fi ve-year agreement between the federal and provincial governments that has been authorized by the House of Commons.
“Whether any fi nal piece of legisla-tion resulting from this exercise can pass constitutional muster, is a question for another day and separate proceed-ings,” Bauman wrote.
Provincial law now requires the petition to be forwarded to a standing committee of the legislature within 30 days.
Th e convener and possible chair is MLA Terry Lake, and the B.C. Liberal majority membership includes MLAs Dave Hayer (Surrey-Tynehead), Eric Foster, Richard Lee, Pat Pimm, and John Slater.
NDP MLAs on the committee are Mike Farnworth, Katrine Conroy, Rob Fleming and Jenny Kwan.

The City of Surrey is now accepting applications for 2011 fi nancial grants from non-profi t groups or organizations.
What kinds of organizations are eligible?
Organizations will normally be expected to:• have an active governing body composed of volunteers, with paid staff
excluded from voting membership;• have stable, ongoing fi nancial support; and• extend their service to the general public in Surrey, not excluding anyone by
reason of race, religion or ethnic background.
Who chooses the successful grant applications?
City Council has established a Grants Evaluation Committee, consisting of four city staff members, to review all applications and make recommendations on grant payment priorities. The fi nal decision on all grant applications is made by City Council.
The Grants Evaluation Committee will review and recommend grant payments based on the following criteria:• The need for the project, the number of residents benefi ting from the grant
and the value to the community;• The absence of identifi able or competing services, programs or facilities in
the community;• The cost per resident, funding sources and fi nancial stability of the
organization;• The effectiveness and quality of the proposed program, project or event;• The history of the organization, including past services and programs; and• The suitability for one-time only funding for specifi c programs, capital projects
or special events.
Grants will not normally be recommended for travel, operating defi cits, or services that are the responsibility of other levels of government. Any organization which receives a grant should not view the grant as an automatic source of funding in the following years. An evaluation of the use of the Surrey grant must be submitted at the end of the program, project or event.
When is the deadline for grant applications:
All grants requests must be submitted on an offi cial application form and received at the offi ce of the City Clerk not later than 4:30 p.m., September 30, 2010. Application forms and additional information may be obtained by contacting:

First impressions are often the most important.
And that doesn’t just apply to hu-mans – homes give fi rst impressions, too. Especially the front of the house, which is usually what passers-by see from the street.
“Your front door is one of the most important features of your home,” says Walker Door and Win-
dow’s man-ager of business development Michelle Essery, who is also RHP, RRP and CAPS certifi ed.
“Your front door should be warm and
inviting. It is the fi rst and last thing we see when coming or going, and leave a lasting impression – good or bad.”
Many materials are popular right now, and energy effi ciency is also at the top of homeowners’ lists when they renovate, Essery says.
The combination of wood and metal, custom glass and fi breglass are au courant among today’s cli-entele, while some customers have started inquiring which materials have better insulation factors, if it is eco-friendly, what the warranty cov-ers, and if it is made locally, she adds.

Sam and Elizabeth FitzZaland, owners of Burrard Green City Builders Inc., make a great point when they say renovating a house is the ultimate ecological act.
Instead of tearing down a house and re-building, renovating saves literally tons of material from the landfi ll – and a renova-tion done with sensitivity to the environ-ment gives great satisfaction and a healthy setting for your family. Both FitzZalands agree that a renovation can be done in a green fashion which, when fi nished, feels like a new home.
Th e couple always listens to their clients to fi nd out exactly what the homeowners want to incorporate into their home, then fi nd a way to do it with the least impact on the earth. Both also delight in educating clients about eco-friendly or sustainable building methods and products they may not know about.
Elizabeth says people really want to reduce their carbon footprint these days, and are looking for ways to either produce their own energy or fi nd as many ways as possible to cut down on consumption.
Most people seem to know about solar energy, which doesn’t necessarily work for everyone, but there are also heat pumps for both heating and cooling the home that many may not know about, she says.

“As part of the Olympics, there were temporary houses showcasing things like living walls and people got the idea that it is necessary to live green, but there are so many other things that can be easily incorporated (into the home),” FitzZaland says.
Low-VOC paint is such an example, which she says is easy to apply and does not give off gas fumes. A wide variety of fl ooring made from sustainable materials is available and features long life spans, plus there are energy-effi cient appliances as well as low-fl ow or dual-fl ush toilets.
Taking several smaller steps can add up to a signifi cant sustainable impact, FitzZaland notes.
When contracted to complete a reno-vation, Burrard Green City Builders looks at every part of the build.
“Kitchen and bathroom countertops are a perfect example,” she says.

ation is how long will it last?How far are the materials being
transported? What happens when the countertop is torn out? Is it bio-degradable?”
A great solution is concrete, she says.
“(Concrete is) as equally durable as granite, and you can make them unique by incorporating other materi-als such as glass or aggregate, staining and polishing ... concrete is also being used more and more for fl ooring,” says FitzZaland.
Th ings like insulation, windows and roofi ng materials can also help make a home more environmentally friendly.
FitzZaland says blown-in insulation is oft en recommended, “because it gets into all the nooks and crannies.”
But with every project, she notes, the company always fi nds ways to reduce waste.
“Th ere are diff erent ways of re-cycling building material. One is to salvage as much as possible – maybe there are doors that don’t work in the new area but can be used in the basement,” she says.
“Sometimes there are windows that won’t work in the new home but can be put aside, re-fi nished, and used in another job. More and more ways are being found to keep materials away from the landfi ll.”

In this world, nothing is certain but death and taxes.
Benjamin Franklin is attributed with coining this oft -used phrase, which has likely been used a lot more throughout B.C. lately.
Th e Harmonized Sales Tax, which combines the seven-per-cent sales tax with the fi ve-per-cent GST (Goods and Services Tax) for a single sales tax rate of 12 per cent, came into eff ect July 1.
Th e provincial government maintains the HST will be good for British Columbians and the B.C.
economy, as “it’s the best thing we can do to encourage investment and jobs in our province.”
Now, the new tax appears on most receipts associated with consuming goods and services, including on new homes priced above $525,000 (homes below this threshold will bear no more tax than under the PST system; homes priced higher will receive a fl at rebate of $26,250, according to the government).
Home renovation is another area where the HST will apply, when it comes time to pay for the goods and services involved.
And that’s bad news on top of already bad news, says Greater Van-couver Home Builders’ Association president and CEO Peter Simpson.
“It’s going to raise the cost of reno-vations,” he says, and notes the HST will drive more homeowners toward what may seem a cheaper alterna-tive: the cash-only, no-paperwork deal.
“Th e underground cash economy
was already there under the GST. Now, the HST will fuel an already burgeoning underground cash economy in home renovations.”
MJ Whitemarsh, CEO of the Ca-nadian Home Builders’ Association of B.C., agrees, and says the HST will just make that illegal economy stronger.
Home renovations generate about $7 billion in B.C., Whitemarsh says, but only about $4.5 billion of that is generated by legitimate contractors.
CHBA B.C. is working on a paper that outlines the job creation and the tax dollars that home renovations generate in the province, in order to highlight the importance of the residential renovation market to all
levels of government.“Every million dollars in renovations
creates 12 person years of employment,” Whitemarsh notes. “Th e underground cash economy stifl es growth.”
Both Whitemarsh and Simpson stress the need for a permanent home reno-vation rebate, similar to the extremely successful HRTC, or federal Home Renovation Tax Credit; both organiza-tions are working to lobby all levels of government in order to get a permanent rebate in place.
“What we need is a permanent tax credit system – similar to HRTC – in place,” Simpson says, and adds that government needs to put money into resources to actively fi ght the underground cash economy.
“Th at way, homeowners get the rebate dollars back.”
Whitemarsh agrees.“People love to get money
back ... they loved the HRTC,” she says.
“It was quite small, but people embraced that like there’s no tomorrow because they got money back from the government.”
Both Whitemarsh and Simpson wonder why the government is not more interested in the billions in unremitted taxes it is not receiving, thanks to the illicit cash renovation market.
In Ontario in 2001, the Ontario Construction Secretariat determined that during just one year, there was $1.3 bil-lion in unremitted tax revenue – only in Ontario and only in home renos – due to the underground residential renovation cash economy.
“Th ere needs to be a realization that it’s a huge problem and it will not go away. It will only increase. Homeowners need to say ‘no’ to the cash deal,” Simpson says.
He and Whitemarsh both note that homeowners can easily be the ones to suff er – or even get sued – if they opt to
pay cash instead of hiring a reputable contractor, such as a RenoMark-approved contractor.
Both emphasize the need to “get it in writing,” to ensure there is a written contract in place – before any work be-gins – that clearly spells out the rules and responsibilities of both the contractor and the homeowner.
If there is no contract, there is no re-course for the homeowner should some-thing go wrong, such as an incomplete or incompetent reno – the legal system won’t recognize an illegal cash transaction if an owner is trying to skip on paying taxes,
Whitemarsh and Simpson note. “You can’t go to court. Th e fi rst thing the judge will ask is, ‘Where’s the contract?’” Simpson says.
“Nobody likes to pay tax but it is just not worth it ... if somebody gets injured on the
job on your property, you are responsible,” he adds.
If an injury occurs during a cash reno, Whitemarsh says, the homeowners may fi nd themselves in trouble.
“If something goes wrong and some-one gets hurt, it’s your fault,” she says.
“Th ey can sue your pants off .”She and Simpson stress it is the hom-
eowner’s responsibility to conduct due diligence on any contractor before hiring them to do home renovation work.
All contractors must be WorkSafe BC-compliant, for example, and all applicable permits, licences and insurance must be in place before work is started.
About $3.7 billion will be spent on home renovations and improvement this year in Metro Vancouver alone, Simpson says.
“We believe between 30 to 35 per cent of that will be done under the radar in a cash economy,” he says.
“Homeowners should always do their homework and make sure they’re abso-lutely protected.”

“The most common questions are about the diff erence in materials versus cost benefi t,” Essery says.
Often, clients will come in with a photo of a door taken from the Internet or a magazine, wanting to know if it can be replicated in a size that will fi t their home or whether the glass style can be changed or if it can be made in a dif-ferent kind of wood, she says.
Walker is one of the few places that can accommodate such requests, Essery says.
“If you can imagine it, we can almost always have it built.”
While sustainability and energy effi ciency come up a lot, it mainly boils down to a specifi c style the client is looking for, the price point, and how readily available the product is.
Before purchasing a door, Essery says it is important to let the door professional know where the home is located, if it is in full sun, what type of colour or fi nish the home-owner will be putting on the door, and any other concerns, such as environmentally conscious options.
“This will ensure you are getting a product that is best suited for your individual (home), and produced locally if necessary,” she says.
“You should always discuss the maintenance required for each material option, and factor that into your fi nal decision.”
The lowest price may not always be the most economi-cal choice, Essery notes.
Using reputable professionals to have a door installed is important, she adds, not only for warranty reasons, but to ensure the door operates properly, is set plumb in the opening, and adjusted to ensure the locks function as intended.
There are also (building) code requirements during installation specifi cally related to security that must be met, she says.
Most front doors should last a minimum of 10 years, depending on the quality, care and maintenance required, but an improperly installed door may not seal properly against the weather stripping, allowing for air leakage, says Essery.
Damage due to water ingress can also occur if improper fl ashings are installed at the head of the door or care is not taken to maintain a seal around the perimeter of the door – this has become more crucial with the advent of today’s rain screen cladding systems, she notes.

Protecting the home in the old days meant buying a solid wood door and installing a heavy-duty dead bolt – and that’s only if the homeowners felt the need to lock their doors at all.
Th ose good ’ol days are long gone. Today, home security has come a long way and homeowners can, if they choose, have as much security as presi-dents and prime ministers enjoy.
Orca Security Corporation general manager Brian Pozzolo says homeown-ers are looking for more than just security these days.
Now, home security usually means having an alarm, perimeter protection, interior protection, glass protection and life safety devices, such as carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, plus temperature and fl ood sensors, he says.
“Now clients are integrating other products with security, such as CCTV cameras along the perimeter of the house, so they can view online or iPhone or (via) security touch screen,” Pozzolo says.
Homeowners can now choose to control home security from their iPhone or SmartPhone: they can disarm, view the current status of the cameras, adjust audio settings on the sound system, or even adjust home temperature in advance of return-ing home, he says.
“It started with monitoring the high/low temperature of wine cellars and now it’s gone one step further ... we are
into energy management and conserva-tion and monitoring the temperature
of the whole home so you can adjust zone temperature,” Poz-
zolo says.“Th is is great if you have a
get-away home, say in Whis-tler, you can adjust the house temperature while you are on
the way up from Vancouver.”An automated system that
turns lights on and off in a random pattern while homeowners are on vacation is available, to help discourage would-be thieves looking for signals the home is vacant.

Th ere is a good reason Basil Restoration Ltd. calls the company ‘restoration’ rather than a renovation company when it comes to heritage homes.
Basil is well-known in New Westminster as a company dedicated to both bringing the me-chanics of a heritage home up to present-day standards and preserving the priceless beauty which, once lost, cannot be returned.
In the 20 years Basil Restora-tion Ltd. has been involved in restoring heritage homes, the company has gained an exper-tise second to none.
Th ere is no substitute for lon-gevity for gaining specialized knowl-edge but also, and equally important, sourcing craft speople who are able to repair or duplicate the many period embellishments oft en found on these grand dames of the past.
One particular New Westminster project was unique because the entire house was moved from a diff erent location.
“Our clients have had a passion for years – they love heritage houses and then they saw Howay Cottage, which was completely run down, and looked for an opportunity to save it,” says Basil’s Mark Wittig.
Th e homeowners, living on a 66x132 lot, got permission from the City of New Westminster in a Heritage Revitalization Agreement to sub-divide the lot and move a 1902 Edwardian
or Colonial bungalow heritage home – Howay Cottage – from another location to the newly created 33x132 lot.
Th e HRA is a voluntary written agreement negotiated between the property owner and the municipality outlining the duties, obliga-tions and responsibilities of both parties with respect to the development of a property considered to have heritage merit.
New Westminster heritage planner Julie Schueck is the go-to person for anyone plan-ning on restoring a heritage home.
In the 1970s, the city created the fi rst conservation act to protect its treasure trove of irreplaceable homes. In 1994 and 1995, the province allowed for a much stronger conser-vation tool and New Westminster’s municipal staff took advantage of the new rules. Com-
munities had a one-year window to identify their heritage resources and so city staff took an accurate inventory of the heritage homes; all the downtown inventory was rolled into the now-stronger Heritage Register.
“Th ere are no legal obligations for hom-eowners to be on the registry, but the mu-

nicipality encourages homeowners to register,” Schueck says.
New Westminster has a policy that any house built before 1950 – whose owners apply for a renovation permit – gets re-viewed for comment by the heritage commis-sion and by Schueck herself, she notes. But there is no legal obligation on behalf of the home owner to follow any suggestions made.
Th at changed if a demolition is wanted, however.
“If a homeowner wants to demolish a heritage home on the register, the city has the legal right to postpone the demolition permit to discuss the alternatives,” Schueck says.
Th e most stringent designation is the Heri-tage Designation, which is a formal protec-tion of the building that runs with the land, so it’s registered on title.
Th e long-term designation applies to the property and typically, the outside of the building, Schueck says, but adds that if a homeowners wants to register parts of the home’s interior – such as a curved staircase and hallway – then the city will include ele-ments of the interior.
“We also understand that people have to live in the home and these buildings still have to earn their own way,” she says.
With the Basil heritage restoration, Wittig notes the ultimate goal was to maintain the defi ning character elements of the house in all aspects of the renovation.
Designed by architect Eric Pattison, the restoration required intensive work, Wittig says.
“Th e project involved rehabilitation of the structure and roofl ine, diligent restoration of the siding, trims, masonry, front porch, win-
dows, doors and painting,” he says.“Dormers, which had been re-
moved by previous owners, were added back to maximize usable living space.”
Basil Restorations also incorporated cus-tom milling trim details and even carefully disassembled the original front porch, in order to use it as a template to create an exact replica.
“Th is house is a true testament to the passion, dedication and commitment of everyone involved to maintain the historical integrity of Howay Cottage,” Wittig says.
Plenty of other work was completed to make the cottage work for a modern family.
Th e entire second fl oor was dropped one foot for increased head room on the second fl oor, while asphalt siding was stripped off to reveal the original fi r siding.
Windows were repaired and made fully operable. Authentic paint colours were used to replicate the original colours of the era and locally reclaimed fi r fl ooring was sanded lightly to maintain aged patina.
Everyone involved in this restoration is fi lled with pride for not just saving this old girl, but doing it so well.
Th ey are not the only ones impressed with this restoration: Basil Restoration was a fi nalist as Best Heritage Renovation in the 2010 Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ RenOvation Awards; the company received a Certifi cate of Recognition in the fi eld of Heritage Conservation at the 2010 BC Heri-tage Awards and it is currently nominated for a 2010 Royal City Builders Award (Heritage Shield).

Basil Restorations restored this run-down heritage house in New Westminster to refl ect its former glory. The company ensured it met all city-enforced guidelines regarding heritage home renova-tions in order to com-plete the job.“Our clients have had a passion for years – they love heritage houses and then they saw Ho-way Cottage, which was completely run down, and looked for an op-portunity to save it,” says Basil Restoration’s Mark Wittig.‘After’ photos: Keith Henderson

Many parents can attest that sleep issues are a concern for both them and their children. New parents are faced with infants that generally have their days and nights mixed up, resulting in a lack of sleep for parents. Then the tides generally turn, and it’s the children who are getting less sleep – begging parents to stay up longer and creating excuses why they’re not ready to snuggle under the covers. But once again it’s the parents who are paying the price – facing lack of sleep and potentially overtired children.
A child’s bedtime routine can affect his or her sleep pattern throughout a lifetime. Sleep patterns and sleep routines matter because they have both long-term and short-term implications for health and cognitive development.
The National Sleep Foundation says infants and toddlers need on average 12 to 14 hours of sleep daily, which is a combination of nighttime rest and additional naps. Even children up to age 12 should get 10 or 11 hours of sleep. Developing a set bedtime for children early on and creating a bedtime routine can help children anticipate sleep and get the rest they need.
Creating a Bedtime Routine
1. Determine the time when you notice children becoming out of sorts and tired. Make this time the daily bedtime.
2. An hour before bedtime, limit television
watching or other stimulating activities.
3. Think about soothing activities. Consider reading a book or singing a lullaby to younger children. Allowing an hour of quiet reading or music for older children could work, too.
4. A warm bath can help put children in a restful state as well.
5. Be consistent with the bedtime. Don’t allow kids to pressure you into staying up longer.
6. Avoid sugary snacks or caffeinated products for kids before bedtime; they can become even more wired.
7. Try to schedule the household activities so they don’t infringe on bedtime.
8. Children should fall asleep when tired. Keeping a child up late will not necessarily help them sleep better or longer. In fact, an overtired child could take longer to settle down and awaken during the night.
9. Parents should use the time when kids are in bed to rest themselves, enjoy time together or simply enjoy the quiet.
Similarly, a consistent waking time for children also develops good sleeping habits. The same can be said for adults. Retiring and waking at consistent times each day enables the body to prepare for rest and is good for general health.

Many parents of school-aged children are interested in packing a healthy and environmentally friendly lunch for their children each day. However, they may have questions regarding how to do just that.
This is the season for school lunches, as thousands of students will be heading back to the classroom ... and lunchroom. For those who will be bringing a lunch from home, there are ways to make it healthy for the body and the planet.
1. Choose foods the child will eat. Nothing is more wasteful than a lunch that ends up in the trash rather than the stomach. Instead of experimenting with foods that one would hope a child will eat, select healthy items that have a past track record for success.
2. Skip the brown bags. Certain children may relish the idea of bringing in a character-themed lunch box. Older children may scoff at the idea. But the fact is that disposable paper lunch bags are wasteful and reusable lunch carriers are much more eco-friendly. Today there
are lunch bags that are subdued in color and style and are often insulated to keepfood at the right temperature.
3. Select organic foods. Whether the child is bringing in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or a pizza on a pita, choose foods that are organically grown or local. Supermarkets now stock the shelves with plenty of organic options that are free from pesticides and harmful growing practices. These foods are healthier and more sustainable.
4. Buy favorite foods in bulk. If the child loves cereal treats or whole-grain granola bars, buy the big box and store it in the pantry. This saves on packaging and extra trips to the store, both of which are wasteful.
5. Use reusable containers. Rather than packing a sandwich in a plastic baggie or a piece of plastic wrap, select a series of sandwich holders, containers and the like that can transport the lunch contents to and from school. They’ll have to be washed each night, but kids won’t be contributing to extra waste.

THE BIG Kahuna Rams extended their winning streak to three games with a 59-14 victory over the visiting Kamloops Broncos Saturday at South Surrey Athletic
Park. It was clear early in
the match the Broncos were outmatched against the Surrey squad. Nick Downey started with a punt return that would set up a Rams off ensive touchdown. In an eff ort
to avoid a big return by Downey, the Broncos opted to punt out of bounds from deep in their own end, but the Dartmouth native made them pay on the very next play by hauling in a 39-yard touchdown
toss from quarterback Nathaniel White.
Five minutes later, Downey, Canadian Junior Football League special teams player of the year, scooped up the loose ball near mid-fi eld and sprinted 57 yards untouched for his second punt return touchdown of the season. White hit the Broncos with a 10-yard scoring strike to make the score 21-0.
Th e most costly of the fl ags thrown the Rams way came midway through the second quarter when the Bron-cos missed a 31-yard fi eld goal. Waiting in the end zone was Downey, who fi elded the kick fi ve yards deep in his own end zone and returned it 115 yards the other way for a touchdown.
But the Rams were fl agged and the play was negated. Th e Broncos were awarded a single point.
Big Kahuna would then take the ball on their own 35 yard line and two plays later, White hooked up with Matt Chapdelaine on a 72-yard scoring play.
Th en the Rams’ Joe Lester stepped in front of a Broncos pass attempt and took it all the way to the house for a 50-yard interception return touchdown.
Fellow Rams defen-
sive back Belah Small one-upped his team-mate with an 80-yard interception return touchdown.
Th e Broncos faithful got something to cheer about when running-back Clayton Ludba scored to make the score 42-8 at the break, but not before Big Kahuna defensive back Jordan Linnen would fall victim to another Rams infrac-tion. Th e Surrey native had an 85-yard intercep-tion return touchdown negated by a foul on the fi nal play of the half.
White threw
his fourth touchdown pass of the day, and ninth in his past two games, early in the third when he found Bullock to make the score 49-8.
White wasn’t done yet and scored his second rushing touchdown in as many games with a nine-yard run. Bullock rounded out the scoring with a late fi eld goal from the 14 yard line.
Th e win moved the Rams into sole posses-sion of third place in the BCFC standings with a 3-2 record, just one game back of the Okanagan Sun and Nanaimo’s VI
Raiders, who are tied atop the standings at 4-1.
Th ings get much tougher for Big Kahuna this week as they host the Raiders in a repeat of last year’s BCFC Championship game. Kick-off Saturday is 3 p.m. at South Surrey Athletic Park. All BC Minor Football players and cheerleaders get free admission if wearing their game jersey or sweater.

AFTER AN impressive winning streak this summer, including a world golf champion-ship title, South Surrey’s Adam Svensson failed to qualify at the Cana-dian Men’s Amateur Championship last weekend.
Earlier this summer, Svensson won three straight high-profi le tournaments, including the Callaway World Championships and the B.C. Amateur Cham-pionships. Last week’s tournament wasn’t all bad for the Earl Mar-riott Secondary student, however. He and his B.C. teammates, Nick Taylor, Darren Wallace and Eugene Wong took fi rst place in the Willingdon Cup, with a combined score of 425 (seven under par).

The man wearing what looks like a spacesuit and holding a vacuum hose under an apple tree is there for a reason.
Earlier in the week, a Guildford man and his father were in their backyard when the father was stung twice, near the eye and on the arm.
Th ey had stumbled onto a nest of bald-faced hornets the size of a rugby ball.
Out went the phone call and in came Joe Franco, driving his white Toyota Tercel with a ladder on the roof and a custom-made vacuum collection box for wasps, bees and bumblebees.
It’s the fi rst solo summer for Franco’s seasonal business, Joe Wasp Nest Removal, an insect- and Earth-friendly way to help
take the sting out of summer for Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley residents.
Franco believes he’s the only “green” pest remover of this type in the region.
Fully suited up, Franco starts the vacuum and climbs up the ladder.
Periodically tapping on the nest, he stirs up the occupants – about 100 of them in total. (Honeybees can have 40,000 critters per colony).
Aft er about 15 or 20 minutes, with most of them sucked into a plastic box, he proceeds to take down the nest.
Th is seasonal job – he books about fi ve per day in the summer – isn’t par-ticularly diffi cult.
Th ere are oft en nests of bald-faced hornets, European paper wasps, yellow-jackets, bumblebees and honeybees that entrench themselves in roofs, inside walls, in birdhouses, under sheds, in hollow trees and even inside handrails.
“If it were say, a honeybee nest, I would have to get right into the wall and cut it open.”
Franco’s priority: If at all possible, keep the insects alive.
Th at means driving out into the country and relocating the nests away from areas of human activity.
Once they bees are released from the vacuum box, they automatically

head to their nest in its new spot.
Honeybee colonies are particularly important to save since they’re integral to the pollination of many of the foods grown in B.C.
Honeybees are also facing population threats from mites and pesticides – a worldwide phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder.
Although Franco doesn’t treat wasps with the same reverence as honeybees, he still does his best not to destroy them, since wasps have their uses, including keeping down popula-tions of other insects.
Pesticides are an absolute last resort – and only used for the most diffi cult-to-access nests.
Th e last thing Franco wants to be considered is an exterminator.
For more information, visit www.joewasp.com
Identifying wasps and bees:
• Bald-faced hornet: Th ick dark-coloured body, with nests usually found in trees or attached to the outside of houses. Grey/brown conical paper nests. All wasps are important predators against other insects.
• European paper
wasp: Th in wasp with a striped yellow abdomen. Nests are small, oft en hidden inside objects. Th e nest is not covered in paper.
• Yellow-jacket: Th icker body than the European paper wasp, with fewer stripes on its yellow abdomen. Its
paper nests are found in trees, walls and on the ground.
• Bumblebee: Th ick, fuzzy body. An impor-tant pollinator. Nests can be found in birdhouses, in composts, under sheds and in building insula-tion. Consists of a yellow, bulbous wax.
• Honeybee: Orange-yellow stripes on a fuzzy body. Usu-ally docile, and die if they sting. Nests can be found in hollows of trees, in walls or in ceilings. Swarms can consist of clusters of tens of thousands of bees.

“The most important job in the world.” Preschool Teacher /
Early Childhood Educator
“Free the child’s potential and you will transform her into the world.”
Our people are our difference
Our Early Childhood Education Instructor, Pat Bates, has worked in the fi eld for 27 years and taught ECE at the college level for the past 16 years. Pat has worked in both daycare and preschool and owned and operated her own successful licensed preschool in North Delta for 13 years.
“The teachers and staff at Stenberg were very supportive throughout my entire program … Working towards completion of this program requires a lot of hard work but because everyone in the class cooperates and encourages each other to succeed, it helped me a lot.”– Amanda P.604-580-2772 www.stenbergcollege.com
Over 94% of our graduates are working in their fi eld of study within 6 months of graduation
ECE Registry Approved Training Program
We believe that children learn through play and that they must be free to choose what they want to do in an environment that is safe and stimulating. When Early Childhood Educators support this play in a warm and nurturing manner, children’s development is enhanced in all aspects. Stenberg College is committed to developmentally appropriate practices, and culturally sensitive and inclusive childcare.
According to the 2008 ECE Registry Survey commissioned by the BC Ministry of Children & Family Development, the average wage for Early Childhood Educators in BC is $17.43/hour.
Collaborative ApproachOur Early Childhood Education program is run off-site in collaboration with the New Life Childcare Centre allowing our students to observe theory in practice. This gives them regular opportunities to practice learned skills which will better prepare them for their work in the fi eld.
$3000 Bursary: Graduates may qualify for a $3000 bursary through the BC Family Child Care Association
FREE 2-month College English Preparatory program and ongoing ESL support.
