Delta Mayor Lois Jackson is joining Surrey’s call for a regional tolling sys-tem instead of only on select bridge crossings.
Jackson issued a release Tues-day indicating her municipality is concerned about growing gridlock on the toll-free Alex Fraser Bridge, as commuters avoid the user-pay
options south of the Fraser River.Currently the Port Mann and
Golden Ears bridges are tolled, and last week TransLink announced the replacement for the Pattullo Bridge will be tolled to cover construction costs. It is widely expected the new Massey Bridge will also be tolled.
“If (the crossings) were all the same (price), everyone would take the shortest route between their house
and wherever they were going,” Jack-son told Th e Leader.
Cars that make unregistered trips across the Port Mann pay $3.15 each way and $4.35 on the Golden Ears.
Jackson is recommending a region-al alternative, where all bridges in Metro Vancouver would cost motor-ists $1 to use.

Safety and security incidents have soared at most B.C.’s prisons over the last few years, according to newly released statistics for 2014 from B.C. Corrections.
The biggest one-year increase was at Surrey Pretrial Services Centre, where the number of incidents tripled to more than 900 in 2014.
The long-term trend has been steadily rising at several other jails.
Safety incidents have nearly doubled by 2014 from five years earlier in Vancouver Island Re-gional Correctional Centre, North Fraser Pretrial and Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre.
And Alouette Correctional Centre for Women recorded more than three times as many incidents – nearly 700 by 2014 compared to less than 200 in 2009.
Fraser Regional Correctional Centre in Maple Ridge had nearly 1,100 incidents in 2014 and recorded the largest numbers of
any sites in B.C. in each of the six years.NDP MLA David Eby said the statistics he requested are about
a year overdue and undercut government claims prison violence was declining.
“I’m incredibly concerned that we were told that violence was trending down when their own numbers show it’s trending up and dramatically up,” he said.
Eby said a staff shortage in B.C. prisons is a probable factor.“When prisons are under-staffed by guards that means things
are less safe for both staff and prisoners,” Eby said.“You don’t have anybody screaming about rival gang members
being put in the same place at the same time. You don’t have anybody just physically present to encourage everybody to be on their best behaviour.”
He also cited the overcrowding of prisons from the practice of double-bunking.
“When you have two or three people in a cell as opposed to a single person in a cell that leads to an increase in violence as well.”
B.C. government officials say the statistics include not just violence but other safety and security incidents, including inmate illness, threats and contraband.
“B.C. Corrections is housing more inmates with gang affiliations and mental health issues,” Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said. “The potential for violence is an unfortunate reality.”
Once the new Okanagan Correctional Centre is completed later this year near Oliver, he said, the B.C. Corrections will have added nearly 800 cells since 2008.
Morris said 440 more corrections staff have been added since 2007 and more than 240 new full-time correctional officers will be added for the Okanagan jail.
There were four deaths in B.C. correctional facilities in 2015 – three at Kamloops and one in Surrey – and a total of 26 deaths since 2009.

A much-respected former longtime finance manager with the City of Surrey has died.
Dennis Atkinson served with the municipal-ity for 32 years, first as an accountant, then eventually as the chief financial officer in charge of Surrey’s books.
He retired in 1996.Those at city hall who knew him well de-
scribe Atkinson as a unwavering force for finance. If he didn’t agree with a financial approach by councillors, he wasn’t afraid to stand up and make that known.
“If he thought council was heading off in the wrong direction, he would tell them in the most professional terms,” said former Surrey Mayor Bob Bose, who worked with Atkinson for years.
“Surrey was in an excellent financial position as a result of his tough approach to finances,” Bose said.
Atkinson worked with city manager Dan Clo-skey and together they were an unstoppable force, Bose said.
Former longtime Coun. Judy Higgin-botham worked with Atkinson for 13 years, and said he was an amazing man and an incredible financial officer.
“He lived and breathed his job, and he was very respon-sible,” Higginbotham said.
He arrived in a time of fiscal turmoil, she said, adding he was able to right the bud-getary ship.
“We built the Newton Wave Pool, which was a big deal in those days,” Higginbotham said.
In fact, the books were so good when he left, the following city council was able to embark on a decade-long freeze on property taxes.
Atkinson is described by family members as a kind, generous, social person who enjoyed watching his grandchildren at various sport-ing events.
“He was fully involved in the lives of his grandchildren, driving them to school, picking them up,” Bose said. “His family was absolute-ly everything to him.”
Atkinson died peacefully on March 5 at Sur-rey Memorial Hospital. He was 79.
He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Verna, four children (Lyle, Eric, Susan and Melanie), nine grandchildren, five great-grandchildren, seven brothers, two sisters and a large extend-ed family.
A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, April 2 at 2 p.m. at the King’s Community Centre, 21783 76B Ave. in Langley.

Friends of a Surrey man who died at a Chilliwack construction site last week are raising money to help support his young family.
On March 18 at about 8 a.m., Sebastian Gomez Obando, 24, died during a workplace incident involving a concrete pumper truck at a residential construction site. He was the father of two young children.
WorkSafe BC and the RCMP are investigating
the incident.“We can confirm that
WorkSafeBC respond-ed to an incident at approximately 8:30 a.m. Three workers were in-jured, one fatally, when a concrete pumping truck fell forward at a residential construction site in Chilliwack,” said Trish Knight Chernec-ki, a spokesperson for WorkSafeBC.
The B.C. Coroner’s Service said Obando and a second worker were struck by a concrete boom at the worksite.
Obando died on scene. The other man was airlifted to hospital for treatment.
The creator of a GoFundMe fundraiser account has set a goal
of $50,000 to help ease the burden for Obando’s wife and children – a two-year-old boy and a one-year-old girl.
“With profound sad-ness, we all try to cope with the fact that at the age of 24 years old, there
was a man that was tak-en away from his family, friends, and coworkers. His name was Sebastian Gomez,” a friend wrote on the site.
“He will forever be in the hearts of many; but his wife, son, daughter, mother and father, and other family members’ lives will be forever changed. They need our support; but not just today, this week or this month. They need it for their future. For those of you who personally know this wonderful man / family, we need to remember not just now, but months and years from now that this family needs constant support,” the page says.
The fundraising site notes that Gomez’s parents had just left their jobs in Alberta two weeks ago to move to B.C. to be closer to their son and his family.
They also brought along Obando’s young-est brother, who is just 16. Obando’s parents have not found em-ployment since their move.
As of Wednesday morning, more than $15,000 had been raised. To donate online, visit https://www.gofundme.com/sebastiangomez77

Surrey father-of-two dies in workplace incident
Jackson said the new funding model would free up the overcrowd-ed Alex Fraser while generating close to $300 million in gross revenue every year.
Th e City of Surrey has already taken a position in favour of regional toll-ing for the same reasons Jackson has raised.
But the province says it won’t consider such a strategy for another fi ve to six years.
While open to discus-sion, Transportation Minister Todd Stone said he’ll wait until the George Massey Tunnel and Pattullo replace-ments are closer to being completed.
While Jackson under-stands the province’s position, she would rather the move be done sooner rather than later.
“We (municipalities) can turn on a dime, you know that,” Jackson said. “Provincial and federal governments, they can’t do that.”
Figures from 2011 (the most recent available) show the Alex Fraser has the second-heaviest traffi c volumes in the region. Only the Iron Workers’ Memorial con-necting the North Shore has more.
Jackson said traffi c has only increased on the Alex Fraser, Delta’s only crossing of the river, in the last fi ve years.
“I know there’s a lot more traffi c than there was in 2011,” Jackson said.
She described her toll-ing concept as an “easy, understandable and simple” solution, while acknowledging there
may be grumbling from cities north of the Fraser River that don’t face tolls on their bridges.
“Guess what? Th ey are going to need their bridges fi xed too,” Jack-son said. “And we, south of the Fraser, are paying for the upgrade of those two sewer plants over there. We’re not going to see any benefi t from that.”
Th e Iona (Richmond) and Lions Gate (North Vancouver) wastewa-ter treatment plants Jackson is referring to are expensive projects, still in the planning stages, whose costs will be shared by taxpayers throughout the region.
Revenues from the tolled bridges in op-eration now show the current user-pay plan is not working, Jackson said.
Th e Golden Ears Bridge is operating $20 million a year under budget, while the new Port Mann Bridge is $80 million a year
under estimates.Jackson said it’s time
for politicians to stop bickering and speak up for the people they represent.

Another week, another data set about millennial car-buying trends, this time refuting the predictions and analysis
that have confounded car companies and their marketing gurus these past few years.
It turns out millennials have not forsaken the car altogether for multi-modal urban transit, for bicycles, for lifts with friends, for …whatever. It also turns out, according to J.D. Power’s Power Information Network—defi ning millennials as those between 21 and 38 in 2015, millennials bought four million cars and trucks in the US in 2015, thereby infl ating their share of the car market to 28 percent, second only to the ‘baby boomers’.
And… it turns out that in California, the largest car-buying market in the US, they have actually out-bought boomers for the fi rst time.
Why this ‘sudden’, seemingly unexpected trend reversal? Industry analysts say trying to get a read on this big and diverse generation has been diffi cult. Whether or not millennial ‘lifestyle preferences’ would emulate the boomer generation, whether or not they fully embraced the new urban transportation options, …turns out these questions were diffi cult to answer.
Some analysts, like Steven Szakaly, Chief Economist for the National Automobile Dealers Association, say it was just a matter of timing: “Th is whole idea that they’re not going to need cars is absolutely ridiculous. Th e new car buyer age is just happening much later.” While the number of young people getting their driver’s licenses has been steadily
trending downwards since 1983, graduated licensing laws and insurance costs were extending the diffi culty and expense of this starting point.
Importantly, the economy in general has been challenging. Th e 2008 recession hit just as millennials were in or graduating from post secondary education, and starting or at least looking to start their fi rst job. By 2010, their 13 percent unemployment rate was four points higher than the US national average, according to a report by the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
Teens had it even worse at 26 percent unemployment by 2012. Now the millennial unemployment rate is down to eight percent, interest rates have stayed low, and gas prices are down. Th e fi ve year economic forecasts match millennial spending power with that of boomers. Millennials are getting jobs and staying employed, and getting married and starting families, and even moving to the suburbs just like previous generations. It appears that the convenience off ered by car ownership is still irresistible.
Nevertheless, some analysts, however, are sticking to the earlier analysis about a continuing decline in popular interest in motor vehicle ownership. Th ey say: getting a driver’s license is not the milestone it used to be, car-sharing and Uber-hailing are increasingly popular options, and the sense of freedom and independence previously found in car ownership now comes from wireless connectivity.
Th e word wireless turns the discussion to the features that millennials want in their cars and, hence, that the car companies want to provide —improved in-car technology to enable young drivers to stay connected to their friends and music while driving, features that take attention away from the task at hand – driving safely.

Heritage rarely gets much consideration from Surrey council or city staff , so it was a pleasant surprise to fi nd out how much eff ort has been recently put into actively pur-suing names for roads, districts and geographic features.
Much of this work came to fruition with signifi cant changes to Surrey’s original road numbering bylaw number 1,500, which was adopted in 1957. Th at bylaw eliminated most of the names of Surrey streets, replacing them with numbers. Th e changes to the original bylaw were adopted by council last summer.
Th e changes recognize that the original bylaw called for named streets – those that are not east-west or north-south in direction. While this has been done in many parts of Surrey since that time, the streets that have been named have usually refl ected the desires of devel-opers, not necessarily the city at large. Th us developments like Birdland (in Guildford) and Cowtown (in Cloverdale) came about, using names of birds and cattle respectively.
Th e changes call for a more active role by the city in the naming of future roads. New road names will “recognize a natural feature, fl ora or fauna, a major public institution or oth-
er defi ning land use of signifi -cance to Surrey, or a historical fi gure, group, place, or event of signifi cance to Surrey.”
Th ere are also guidelines to ensure road names contribute positively to the community and cannot be construed as advertising a business.
Th e city is recognizing that, while numbered streets must predominate in order for peo-ple to be able to fi nd their way around, street names can play an important role in the life of the city.
Th e changes to the bylaw also pay considerable attention to secondary road naming. Th is practice began in 1979 when council agreed to a suggestion from the public that heritage road markers be placed along many of Surrey’s main streets, to commemorate the names they had long had.
Th us 128 Street also had signs placed along the roadside, noting that it was once known as Sandell Road. Hjorth Road signs were placed along 104 Avenue, and Bose Road signs went up along 64 Avenue, while North Bluff road signs were erected along 16 Avenue. Several historic hills, such as Woodward’s Hill and Hartnell Hill, have also received signs.
In 2006, the secondary road naming policy was expanded, with a stretch of 106 Avenue adjacent to the Whalley Legion becoming Veterans Way. Since that time, 62 Avenue from 176 Street to the Stetson Bowl in Cloverdale has been named Bill Reid Way, to commemo-rate former MLA Bill Reid who was unoffi cially “Mr. Clover-dale” for many years, and an unceasing promoter of the town and Surrey at large.
Surrey also offi cially named its fi rst historic district last year, with the Whalley’s Corner district being recog-nized as the area immediately surrounding King George Boulevard, Grosvenor Road and 108 Avenue (formerly Ferguson Road). Th is is where the original Whalley’s Corner gas station was located, and is also the area where the Whal-ley commercial area had its beginnings in the 1940s.
It is good to see a consistent approach to street naming which also recognizes the his-toric richness of road names.
All of these changes are important steps in Surrey maturing as a city.

Re: Toll on the replacement for the Pattullo Bridge when it is built.
I want to ask the mayor and council of Delta what the municipality is doing to plan for increased traffic on
Highway 91, and therefore in North Delta, specifically on streets that are not meant to handle highway traffic such as Lyon Road and Huff Road in Sunshine Hills.
We are fed up with the current highway-like condi-tions on Lyon Road due to commuter traffic using it as an alternate route to get to Highway 91 and Highway 99.
Ours is a quiet residen-tial area, but it feels like a
highway on weekdays. We are worried about the impact of construction and tolling on Highway 99 and the new Pattullo on our neighbour-hood. Is there anything being planned, or will Delta wait and let the traffic problem get out of control, such as what happened with Annacis Island?

Re: “Driven to help cancer patients,” The Leader, March 2.God bless those who volunteer to be a cancer driver.In 2011 I was grateful the program existed. I had to be taken from
Surrey to Vancouver General Hospital and the cancer clinic every day for three months. I then went through hyperbaric treatments for another two months. My wife doesn’t drive, so I was really stuck.
The treatments were tiring and how great it was to have the driv-er waiting there to take me home. They were always friendly.
This is a very necessary service and if I had to have paid a small fee I would not have minded.
I donated to the former cancer driver program and I am happy to see the program has been reinstated. Thank you to all you volunteer drivers.

Th e city’s top cop has been named Assistant Commis-sioner.
Surrey RCMP Offi -cer-in-Charge Chief Supt. Bill Fordy recently received the new rank, and while it increases his role in the region, he will remain in charge of Surrey’s detach-ment.
“Bill Fordy has made invaluable contributions to
the people of Surrey and his promotion is well-deserved,” said Mayor Linda Hepner.
Fordy has been with the RCMP since 1989 and became Surrey’s offi cer in charge in June 2012, with
the rank of Chief Superin-tendent.
In 2014, Fordy was ap-pointed into the Order of Merit of the Police Forces by the Governor General of Canada.
Th e Order of Merit of the Police Forces recognizes leadership and exceptional service or distinctive merit displayed by the men and women of the Canadian Police Services throughout their career.

Th e trial of a Sur-rey man arrested in September 2013 and charged with 13 drug and fi rearms off ences is set to be heard over eight days in the spring of 2017.
According to court re-cords, the proceedings against Pete William Cameron are to take place April 3-6 and 10-14 next year in Surrey Provincial Court.
Charges against Cameron and a Surrey woman were announced in June 2014 by the Combined Forces Special Enforce-ment Unit.
At that time, offi cials detailed an investiga-tion into an alleged drug traffi cking and gun sale operation that resulted in the arrest of three people on Sept. 11, 2013.
According to a news release, upon arrest, offi cers seized individ-ually wrapped crack cocaine and “spit balls” of powder cocaine and heroin, as well as $630 in cash. Subsequent searches of two South Surrey residences – on Croydon Drive and in the 17000 block of 26 Avenue – yielded two large safes containing four semi-automatic handguns; cocaine, heroin and meth-amphetamine; and $25,000 cash.
Cameron, who was 28 at the time of the arrest, is charged with
seven counts of pos-session for the purpose of traffi cking, four counts of possession of a restricted fi rearm with ammunition, one count of alter-ing/defacing fi rearm serial number and one count of possession of fi rearm, etc. contrary
to order.Surrey resident
Amy Teresa Pierre – 23 at the time of arrest – is next due in court on March 31 in connection with the file.

With a long history of fundraising, City of Surrey employees have been honoured for their eff orts in giving to the United Way.
Last week, Th e United Way of the Lower Mainland gave the Spirit Award to the City of Surrey, CUPE 402, and the Inter-national Association of Firefi ghters, Local 1271.
City staff won in the Innovation Award category, which rec-ognizes the workplace campaign team that created the most in-novative fundraising strategies and main-tained or increased dollars given directly to United Way.
Employees of the City of Surrey con-tributed more than $233,000 to the United Way Campaign in 2015.
“I am proud that City of Surrey employees have been recognized for their long-stand-ing dedication and generosity,” said Mayor Linda Hepner.
“When it comes to creating a culture of caring in Surrey, the city and its employees lead by example as the money raised by our
United Way Campaign makes a big diff erence in supporting local charitable organiza-tions and community groups.”
Last year, the Unit-ed Way of the Lower Mainland invested $1.2 million in the “Avenues of Change” initiative in Surrey’s Guildford West com-munity.
The funds will be used to implement neighbourhood-spe-cific strategies to change outcomes for vulnerable kids, including provid-ing mental wellness support, early child-hood literacy support, health promotion, and a screening program that helps track chil-dren’s developmental progress.
More information on the Avenues of Change initiative can be found at http://bit.ly/1RQp-Mkq

The Advantages of a Full Frame SensorWHAT?In digital SLR cameras, the camera’s format refers to the size of its image sensor. Nikon makes a DX-format sensor and a FX format sensor. The DX-format is the smaller cropped sensor at 24 x 16mm; other manufacturers commonly refer to this as an APS-C sensor. The larger FX format sensor measures 36 x 24mm which is approximately the same size as 35mm fi lm.
WHY? The FX full frame sensor allows for more “light gathering” area which offers higher sensitivity resulting in lower noise within the captured images. The dynamic range is also greater with a full frame sensor compared to a cropped sensor.
The Evolution of High ResolutionThe D810 truly raises the bar for imagequality and dynamic range.
One look at the jaw-dropping image qualitypossible with the D810and you’ll never look atimage quality the sameway. The level of detailand sharpness, the widedynamic range and richtonality in nearly any lightis simply staggering –almost unimaginableuntil now. For still andmultimedia photographersincluding landscape,studio, wedding andportrait pros, the D810 willignite your creativity andhelp you capture imagesthat astound.

Independent Delta MLA Vicki Huntington is hoping her tests showing high lead levels in B.C. legislature tap water will motivate the B.C. government to implement regular testing of older public buildings around the province.
Huntington released test results last week showing that when sampled after sitting in pipes over a week-end, water from leg-islature taps contains about five times the federal and provincial safe level for lead.
Similar elevated levels were recently discovered in four schools in Prince Rupert, prompting a routine of running the water each morning to flush out the standing
water.Lead from solder can leach into
water in areas where the water supply is more acidic.
The provincial building code was changed in 1989 to eliminate the use of lead solder in plumbing.
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said flushing water
pipes is the quickest way to deal with the problem, which has been known in coastal areas for more than 20 years. Filters can also be installed.
The education ministry sent letters to all B.C. school superintendents Feb. 24, directing them to work with health au-thorities to establish a plan to evaluate water quality in schools, particularly those constructed before 1989.
Huntington said nervous system effects of exposure to high lead levels are a particular concern for young children and prolonged exposure is a health risk for anyone.

HOME STAGING
You decorate your home to live in it, but you stage your home to sell it. Creating ambiance and appeal for buyers may seem like an intimidating task, especially if you have a distinct decorat-ing style. Although everyone has diff erent décor preferences, most people want a home that is welcoming, warm, and organized. Th e best way to do this is to make a home look lived in but not messy, and neutral but not boring. Making sure your home isn't taste specifi c doesn't mean your rooms should be devoid of color. Kendall Ansell of Ken-dall Ansell Interiors of-fers some tips to create a positive fi rst impression and highlight what makes your home liveable. Th e right step towards broaden-ing your buying audience is by appealing to a wide variety of tastes and preferences. But fi rst you need to know what those
preferences are. No one likes a shabby-looking shack, so make sure everything in the house is in top condition. Tour your home with a critical eye and repair any-thing even slightly damaged or used-looking. Make sure all the lights work, there is no dust lurk-ing in corners, and there aren't holes in the walls or imprints in the carpet from heavy furniture.
When it comes to aesthetics, the trend for 2016 is light bright spaces, says Ansell, and the best colour that appeals to most people is white or a variation of white. “Choose a white that will compliment your space but keep it light and bright,” she says. “For condos, my team
and I choose Benjamin Moore classic gray oc-23 for walls and simply white oc-117, also from Benjamin Moore.”Trends go in and out with stag-ing, and she is seeing less theme colours such as the use of teal and purple and more gray on
gray tones. “Again, keep everything light, bright and decluttered, and you can't lose,” she says. “Besides white walls we are also not see-ing the use of the "accent" wall anymore. For kitchens people are using mixed materials such as wood, metal, stone and glass. For bathrooms we are seeing multiple tile choices and TVs in bathrooms and living spaces in the bathroom.”Bathrooms and kitchens are the two areas people are looking at
when they shop for a new home, according to Ansell. Th ose are also the two areas that are most costly to renovate. “Th ere are small changes you can make to your kitchens and bath-rooms that will help update those areas on a budget: paint old cabi-nets fresh white, update handles and pulls on cabinets, clean and re-grout tile, paint old coloured tiles to a new fresh colour and declutter the spaces.”Th e reason for staging a home, especially the kitchen and
bathroom, is to create a neutral canvas that helps a wide range of buyers to visualize their lives. “Th ey want to see those areas are updated to a more modern stan-dards they can see themselves living in,” says Ansell. To successfully stage a home, you have to step outside your taste preference and step inside the mind of a potential homebuyer. While it’s diffi cult to look at your home with a stranger’s eye, it's crucial if you want to sell it.

Surrey’s Muslim community is hoping to create an open dialogue around men-tal illness and addiction issues with an upcoming symposium at SFU.
Th e Hope Project’s (Healing Opportu-nities through Prevention and Educa-tion) Bridging the Gap: Hope, Health and Healing, will include four sessions: Family Disputes, Mental Health, Com-
munity Building and Youth Issues.Community leaders, mental health
professionals and members of various police forces from throughout the Lower Mainland will be on hand to speak about the stigma surrounding mental health and the support programs available.
“Th is will be a convergence of many stakeholders from many agencies,” said Hope Project coordinator Muhammad Asadullah. “It’s about creating a safe place where we can talk and not keep things under the carpet.”
It is often diffi cult for Muslim families to talk about these issues, said Asa-
dullah, noting it’s often about family honour.
“But we are trying to tell our communi-ty that these services are available.”
Asadullah believes the event will help create awareness and create culturally sensitive health training for all service providers from an Islamic perspective.
Th e event, led by the Muslim Food Bank and Community Services Society, will take place on March 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the SFU Surrey campus at 13450 102 Ave.

Now more than ever, this project makes sense
for Canada and British Columbia. It’s vital we
receive the most from our natural resources
at a time when our economy needs it most.
The Trans Mountain Expansion Project will allow
Canadian oil to be delivered to international
markets and, as a result, Canada will earn
approximately $3.7 billion more a year for our oil.
By realizing full value, everyone will benefit.
In addition, the expansion will create tens
of thousands of jobs over the next 25 years.
“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

▶ SURREY FOOTBALL CLUB LAUNCHES AN ADAPTED SOCCER PROGRAM FOR KIDS WITH DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES
BOAZ JOSEPH
During a water break, Gurveer Singh Saggar approaches his father Sarup on the sideline fence on a Newton soccer pitch.
He struggles to get some words out, but
his father already has the idea of what’s coming.
“I had a good time,” says Gurveer, 20, a member of the Surrey Football Club (SFC) Adapted Soccer pro-gram.
Gurveer has two younger siblings who play U12 and U13 soccer, but Gurveer has autism and ADHD, and has had trouble fi tting into recreational sports.
All that changed with Adapted Soccer, which is designed for children with developmental disabilities – complete
with camaraderie and supervision by experi-enced soccer coaches.
For an hour each week, they do warm-ups, drills and pick-up soccer games at Newton Athletic Park’s Turf 2.
“You can tell with his smile he is having a good time,” says his father. “When he is not having a good time, you can tell.”
The program is the brainchild of Rob Bura, who was
looking to support his 14-year-old son Jovan, who tried his best on the club’s weakest soccer teams.
But he still wasn’t good enough.
Soccer for absolutely everyone

“He’d be sitting on the sidelines because he just wasn’t fi tting in,” Bura says.
Bura got together with fellow SFC executive Bobby Samra to see what they could come up with.
“Th ere are a lot of kids that need this program,” says Bura,
adding that Jovan now considers Newton Athletic Park as his own community.
Jovan not only plays soccer, he volunteers for the club, looking at game schedules and setting up nets and corner fl ags.
“I feel proud of that because he belongs to a community now. He’s part of the bigger picture,” says Bura.
During the week, Jovan is proud to wear the Pegasus T-shirt at his school, Enver Creek Sec-ondary, because that’s his club, says his dad.
Currently, about 15 kids, mostly teenagers, turn out each Monday evening to practise the game.
“We say (ages) nine to 15, but that’s not reality,” Samra says. “We haven’t turned anybody away.”
Th e group’s plan is to eventu-ally have enough players to build seven-player teams which can then go up against each other on the fi eld.
Th e coaches are ready, says Samra.
“We’ve budgeted for uniforms and fi eld times and referees. We’ve got everything ready to go, we just don’t have (enough) kids.”
Th e club has BC Soccer’s permis-sion to organize games by skill level rather than age.
“We want those kids to come out and play soccer,” says Samra.
Th e fi rst and second eight-week sessions ran last year, and the third one ended March 7.
Running roughly parallel with the school calendar, the next ses-sion will begin after spring break.
Th e SFC’s Adapted Soccer pro-gram runs on Mondays from 5-6 p.m. at Newton Athletic Park.
Th e cost is $40. For more infor-mation or to register or volunteer, call the SFC at 604-356-2414.

The Valley West Hawks will play for a B.C. championship this weekend.
The Hawks will face-off against the
Cariboo Cougars in a best-of-three series that begins tonight, after eliminating the Okanagan Rockets in three games last weekend in Surrey.
Valley West finished atop the BC Hockey Major Midget League in the regular season, and went 2-1-1 (win-lost-tied) against the Cougars.
“We know what
we’re up against playing the Cougars. It’s going to be a tremendous series,” said Hawks head coach Jessie Leung. “The team that plays with more desire and desperation is the team that will leave this weekend with the championship title.”
Valley West defeated Okanagan 6-2 in the first game of their
semifinal series last Friday (March 11) in the Surrey Sports and Leisure Centre. The Rockets tied the series with a 2-1 win Saturday evening, but were eliminated by the Hawks 6-4 Sunday afternoon.
Five powerplay goals powered the Hawks to the win in the first game, which saw the Rockets score first and lead 1-0 after one period. Valley West responded with six unanswered goals over the next 30 minutes.
“We built our team to be able to win different types of games,” said Leung. “The Rockets weren’t able to cope with the physical game and started taking undis-ciplined penalties. And our powerplay was great.”
James Malm with two goals and a pair of assists and Christian Bosa with a pair of goals and one helper paced the Hawks. Ben Evanish with a goal and two assists, and Carson Franklin with one goal completed the scoring.
Valley West fell behind 2-0 late in the second period and were unable to come from behind in the second game.
“We had a chance to finish a team off and advance but I don’t think our players were ready for the desper-ation of the Rockets,” said Leung. “It was a night where we didn’t get the bounces to change the momen-tum for us. We hit two cross bars in the first period and had a bunch of grade-A opportunities that we couldn’t convert.”
Bobby Russell scored
the lone Hawks goal.Valley West scored
three times in the first six minutes of Sunday’s game, and although the Rockets twice pulled to within a goal, the Hawks maintained their lead the rest of the way.
“Our boys came to play,” said Leung, admitting the “early success let some ca-sualness slip back in. They were a team that never quit and kept
chasing us to the end.”Malm, Bosa, Evan-
ish, Bradley Stonnell, Justyn Gurney and Luka Burzan were the goal scorers.
The B.C. final begins tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre, and continues tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. in the South Surrey Arena.
Game three, if necessary, is back in Langley at noon Sunday.

DAVISRickey Terrance
November 16, 1958 - March 1, 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved brother Rickey Terrance Davis on March 01, 2016. He passed into the arms of his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and into the lov-ing arms of his parents Terry and Thelma.
Rick was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba on November 16, 1958, moving to British Co-lumbia with his family in 1969.
As a youngster, Rick was an exceptional junior tennis player, graduating from the Harry Hopman Tennis Academy in Florida.
Throughout his lifetime, Rick was an innovative and creative entre-preneur. He was a master baker, and for years operated the Cres-cent Beach Bakery. Rick was the popular owner and operator of No Middle Man Heating & Plumbing in Ocean Park and his most recent venture, the Good Shepherd Heating & Plumbing.
Rick was selfl ess and giving, often providing his services for free to seniors and the needy. He never hesitated to lend a hand and as a devout Christian, Rick always believed that God would provide.
We would like to thank all his friends, clients and colleagues for the friendship they provided, and for all their kind words and outpouring of love at this diffi cult time.
“Yea when this fl esh and heart shall fail. And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within the veil, a life of joy and peace.”
Remembered by your loving sisters, Sharon (Douglas + Matilda), Kilyn (Peter, Tyler + Kira)
Extended family in Canada and Australia.

As Real Estate values continue to soar at unprecedented rates in the Fraser Valley, a new threat looms over us that everyone, Buyer-Seller-Lookey Loo, should be cautious of. That threat comes from immoral, unethical people using business practices used by some shady elements with proven bad track records in the Real Estate industry. These deceitful and unethical business practices will cause havoc on the Real Estate market if the public is not warned.
YOU HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION!!
Some Realtors® use tactics which could be conceived as misleading which include promises of long lists of foreign buyers looking to invest. The agent in question will then price a property without any proper evaluation or research and the Seller will
stand hoping to see their dreams come to fruition. Many don’t and probably won’t see that ‘foreign’ Buyer and the Listing Realtor® will continue to do this until their inventory is so high that something has to sell, paying no regard to professionalism, marketing and customer service.
NOT ALL FOREIGN BUYERS ARE AN ILLUSION
There are several legitimate Realtors® who have a strong database of Buyers from all over the world. The diligence is therefore placed upon the Seller to research the history and check the integrity of the person they are dealing with. Too often, people will choose their Agent based on how much they will sell for and how much they have to pay in commission. Both are great queries,
but only a qualified, reputable Realtor® can get the job done and serve the best interests of their client.
WHAT ARE YOUR BEST INTERESTS??
You need to be properly represented in the Sale or Purchase of Real Estate. A qualified Realtor® will know how to get you the best price for your home, or will be able to research and negotiate the best interests of the Buyer. You need a professional, ethical Realtor® to represent your best interests. You reserve the right to get a second opinion, so do not fall victim to high pressure tactics.
In closing, the market is changing so quickly that you do need to work with the right Realtor® to make the most informed decision possible.
