A Surrey bylaw is under attack on the basis that it violates fundamental Canadian rights.

Christopher Lewis has been warned and fined for walking in Surrey parks at night. The city has ramped up its enforcement of the bylaw, issuing

257 tickets in 2005 and 791 in 2013.Surrey’s manager of bylaws told The Leader

that dropped down to 151 last year, but couldn’t explain the decrease right away.

Lewis says he likes to walk in the city’s green spaces to decompress after a day’s work, or to pace off sleeplessness.

Th e City of Surrey has been pulling “No TransLink Tax” signs from city property and the group that put them there is crying foul.

For about the past two weeks, City of Surrey bylaw offi cers have been taking down signs opposing the ongoing transit referendum.

Th e city is spending $300,000 in taxpayer dollars to get out the “yes” vote for a 0.5-per-cent hike in sales tax in order to pay for better transit and transportation projects.

Jordan Bateman, the B.C. direc-tor for the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, has been working a spirited campaign against the plebiscite proposal – on a shoe-string budget of $40,000.

Cities in the region and TransLink are spending upwards of $7 million to promote a yes vote. Bateman says Surrey is be-ing heavy-handed in using bylaw offi cials to further hammer down his meagre campaign initiative.

“All of our signs are gone in Surrey unless they are on private property,” Bateman said. “We had a bunch near the Pattullo Bridge, we had some in the Green

Timbers park area, a few on King George, a few on Fraser Highway.”

He believes the city could be taken to court over the signs’ re-moval, but he says his group has

neither the time nor the money to take on a publicly funded mu-nicipality.

Surrey’s Manager of Bylaw Enforcement Jas Rehal con-

fi rmed that offi cers had taken down about 20 signs from public property in the city over the past two weeks.

Mayor Linda Hepner said the

signs had to come down because they were in direct contravention of city bylaws.

Jordan Bateman, head of the ‘no’ side in the ongoing transit referendum, says his campaign signs have been removed from public spaces in the City of Surrey. The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation paid $40,000 for the signs; Surrey is spending $300,000 of taxpayer dollars on promoting a ‘yes’ vote. Surrey officials say the no signs violate existing bylaws.

He is taking the city to court over a section of Bylaw #13480, which prohibits being in a park after dark.

Lewis has written a 10-page challenge of the bylaw, arguing it violates two sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

In his challenge, sent to the city and attorneys-general of B.C. and Canada, Lewis contends the bylaw violates Section 7, which ensures the right to “life, liberty and security,” and Section 9, which ensures the right not to be “arbitrarily detained or impris-oned.”

Lewis, who works as an inspec-tor of pressurized pipes, said in his submission that people are being forced to travel on dark streets, at night, where being hit by a car is becoming increasingly likely.

He contends that’s a violation of Section 7.He believes every time people are stopped by police or bylaw

offi cers, their right to freedom from being arbitrarily detained is being violated – a violation of Section 9.

Th e 27-year-old, who does not have legal experience, cites case law to back up his arguments.

In Regina v. Oakes (1986), Chief Justice Dickson ruled on proportional means.

To that end: “the means must be rationally connected to the objective; there must be minimal impairment of rights (and) there must be proportionality between the infringement and the objective.”

Lewis believes the Surrey bylaw fails on all three counts.“A blanket ban on everyone from parks at night is not rational-

ly connected with just targeting vandalism,” the challenge says.Vandalism is often the rationale given for the necessity of the

bylaw.“Th ere is a complete lack of proportionality between the in-

fringement and the objective,” he writes.Benjie Lee, the City of Surrey lawyer handling the case, said he

could not comment on the case as it’s before the courts.Lewis and the city are back in Surrey Provincial Court on Tues-

day, April 28.

SHEILA REYNOLDS

A Delta Police officer charged with murder-ing a man outside a New Westminster Casino in 2012 says he shot the man because he feared he would kill himself or others.

Const. Jordan MacWilliams filed his re-sponse to a civil lawsuit in which the daughter of the deceased accuses the officer of shooting her dad “without warning or justification.”

Mehrdad Bayrami, 48, was shot after a five-hour stand-off with the regional emer-gency response team, who had been called to the scene early Nov. 8, 2012 after reports of shots being fired. They arrived to find Bayra-mi armed with a handgun and apparently distraught. He had initially taken a female hostage, who police rescued.

MacWilliams’ statement of defence says Bayrami pointed a gun at police seconds be-fore he was shot in the abdomen.

“MacWilliams had a reasonable fear that the handgun would be fired, thereby creating

a risk of death or grievous bodily harm to himself or

others,” the statement reads.

Bayrami’s daugh-ter, Nousha

Bayrami, filed suit against

MacWilliams last Novem-ber, claim-ing her dad was walking backwards

away from police with his arms by

his sides when he was shot.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

Last year, MacWilliams was charged crimi-nally with second-degree murder in connec-tion with the shooting, following an inquiry by the province’s Independent Investigation Office. He is now on paid administrative leave from the Delta Police Department, and has received support from fellow officers wearing wristbands with his badge number.

Meanwhile, the woman held hostage at the casino by her ex-boyfriend, Bayrami, is voicing her support for MacWilliams.

Tetiana Pilsina told CTV Vancouver said she was terrified Bayrami was going to shoot her before she was rescued, and even shot at the car she was in.

She believes the officers at the casino that day, including MacWilliams, are heroes.

Anyone who protects us, they’re heroes,” she said.

Christopher Lewis, who has been ticketed for being in Surrey parks after dark, says the city’s bylaw violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Lewis likes to decompress after work in Surrey’s green spaces. BOAZ JOSEPH

RCMP hunt for suspected hit-and-run driver

KEVIN DIAKIW

Surrey RCMP have released a video frame grab of a car they believe hit a senior and took off .

An 85-year-old man was struck by a car near 92 Avenue and 127 Street on Monday at about 5 p.m.

He was taken to hospital where he is in serious condition.

Th e driver of the car took off .Mounties say there were several witness-

es to the hit-and-run and that they have

obtained footage of the suspect vehicle.On Wednesday, police released a picture

of the car they believe was involved in the accident.

Th e suspect vehicle is described as a four-door 2013 to 2015 Honda Civic. It’s believed the car will have damage on the front end.

“We are appealing for the driver respon-sible to contact our investigators,” said Cpl. Bert Paquet of the Surrey RCMP. “In addi-tion, we would like to speak to anyone who may have seen the Honda Civic or knows where the car or driver can be located.”

JEFF NAGEL

Natural gas rates are going down for FortisBC customers in the Lower Main-land.

A 34-per-cent de-crease in the com-modity rate to $2.486 per gigajoule effective April 1 means users should pay about $117 per year less on their bills in the Lower Mainland.

FortisBC Energy Supply Vice-President Cynthia Des Brisay said a combina-tion of factors have resulted in approval by the B.C. Utilities Commission of the lowest commodity rate charges seen in a decade.

“Natural gas prices are lower coming out of this past winter due to reduced overall demand for natural gas to heat homes and generate power,” she said.

“At the same time, supplies of natural gas have increased, allowing storage levels to return to normal levels.”

Overall, natural gas bills won’t drop as sharply because customers are also charged other fees, including a rate to deliver the gas, that together add up to more than the com-

modity rate charged for the gas itself.

The typical Lower Mainland gas user should see their monthly bill drop from around $81 now to about $71

after the rate change, assuming average consumption of eight gigajoules per month.

FortisBC doesn’t charge a mark-up on the gas itself, but

instead profits from the delivery charge.

The rate change doesn’t affect cus-tomers who have contracts with other natural gas suppliers instead of FortisBC.

A Surrey man who was drunk at the wheel during a crash that killed his close friend said his “guilt, grief and loss” is diffi cult to put into words.

“I am extremely remorseful,” said An-drew Henry Ostrowski during a sometimes tearful apology at his sentencing hearing in Surrey Provincial Court Wednesday afternoon.

Ostrowski, 28, was found guilty last May of impaired driving causing death, dan-gerous driving causing

death and failure to stop at an accident causing death in con-nection with a 2011 crash that killed his close buddy Sergio Martinez.

“He was more than just a friend – he was part of my family,” Ostrowski told the court.

“It’s really hard to face the reality of this whole situa-tion and the humility of having to face my

friend’s children, my own children, every-body involved,” he said. “Since this accident my priorities have changed and it’s been a turning point in my life.”

Ostrowski has two children, as did Marti-nez. Ostrowski’s lawyer said he has apologized

to the mother of Martinez’ children and that he hoped to make further amends by taking part in a “shame ceremony.”

Both Ostrowski and Martinez’ children are of aboriginal descent.

During his trial last year, the court head that Ostrowski and Martinez had been doing repair work on a Honda CRX at Ostrowski’s home near 136 Street and 96 Ave-nue on Sept. 6, 2011.

Th ey later got into the car and were driving down 132 Street and ran a red light at 88 Avenue. Th e CRX was T-boned on the passenger side. Martinez was taken to hospital, where he died.

Ostrowski was ar-rested about six blocks from crash, smelling of booze and slurring his words. He took the stand at trial, claiming both he and Martinez were passengers in the

two-seat car and that a third man – who he said also fl ed the scene – had been driving.

On Wednesday, he apologized for lying about the non-exis-tent mystery driver.

His lawyer said he has been attending violence prevention, life skills and sub-stance abuse manage-ment programs while

incarcerated. Ostrowski said he

has strived to learn more about alcohol-ism and now realizes alcoholics tend to be selfi sh and blame others.

“It’s a humiliating thing to admit,” he told Judge Peder Gul-bransen, acknowledg-ing he still has “a long journey to go.”

Crown has recom-mended a prison sentence of six to eight years, while the defence has suggest a three to three-and-a-half-year sentence. Ostrowski has been in custody on separate charges fi led before the crash since last August.

His sentencing is scheduled for April 14.

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:

Last week we asked:

Should Surrey citizens be allowed to enjoy their parks after dark without being fi ned?

To answer, go to the home page of our website atsurreyleader.com

Do you talk with your teenage driver about road safety?Here’s how you responded:

Yes 71% No 29%

Surrey RCMP has received 34 cadets from the RCMP train-ing facility in Regina, as of the end of March.

Th ere are still 100 more to come. Th e RCMP expects that most of them will be in place by the end of this year.

Th ere was much discussion of adding more police offi cers during the municipal election last fall. Winning mayoral-ty candidate Linda Hepner pledged that 100 would be added and taxes have been raised to help pay for this sig-nifi cant expansion. Th e police strength is set to go up by about 12 per cent in one year.

More RCMP offi cers in Surrey are welcome and long overdue. Chief Supt. Bill Fordy says many will be placed on general duty, with others in traffi c. Th ese offi cers are the most visible, and police visi-bility is badly needed in many parts of Surrey.

In the fi rst three months of 2015, there has been a string of drive-by shootings, gang retaliation shootings, several murders and a signifi cant amount of mayhem on the roads.

Th is includes the deaths of a woman who was riding a scooter and a homeless man pushing a shopping cart.

Th e community of Newton

remains fearful about the safe-ty of people. Concerns about unlicensed drug recovery homes remain. Surrey’s pop-ulation continues to increase signifi cantly.

Th ere are many other reasons there needs to be far more police offi cers visible on the streets and ready to respond to emergencies. Th is is a very big and very busy city, and the needs of the commu-nity grow more complex each year.

Th e response to homeless-ness from all levels of govern-ment has been underwhelm-ing.

Th e whole area of policing has been poorly handled by Surrey council for many years. Politicians have been more concerned about keeping taxes low than having enough police to deal with the needs of a growing community. Given that Surrey is a young com-munity demographically, and that young people are often disproportionately involved in crimes, both as victims and perpetrators, this is unaccept-able.

A string of horrifi c crimes in 2013 and 2014 focused public attention on the acute short-age of police, and thankfully,

all three major mayoralty can-didates put a lot of emphasis on the issue. Th e issues around crime, and the three-way race for mayor, brought more peo-ple out to the polls. Since the election, there have been few complaints about paying more money for more police.

Much more needs to be done. Th ere needs to be much more emphasis on crime prevention, neighbourhood programs, youth engagement and anti-gang measures.

Many of the community approaches do not require police offi cers, or at least not too many of them. Th ere are people in the city who are happy to volunteer.

Th e RCMP, city council and the city government in general needs to take advantage of the high level of public interest in reducing crime.

It’s good that more police are on the way, but in the mean-time, pro-active approaches to crime prevention can be initiated.

Such programs, when they work closely with police, can make a substantial diff erence.

VIEWPOINT6 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader Fr iday Apr i l 10 2015

Re: “What would happen to the transit tax after 10 years?,” Th e Leader, March 31.

Given Vancouver’s unchecked popula-tion growth, surely reporter Jeff Nagel is right when he surmises that the pro-posed 0.5-per-cent transit tax would be permanent.

Th erefore, instead of rushing to a “yes” or “no” vote, there are better ways to deal with Metro Vancouver’s traffi c congestion, by fi rst asking the more fun-damental question: Are a million more people needed or wanted in the Metro Vancouver area?

Given the current referendum on

transit funding improvements, a Leger Marketing poll, originally conducted in 2011 in Metro Vancouver, found that 93 per cent of people surveyed thought the region’s population was either large enough or too large.

Whether or not “Vancouver is full” remains to be seen. However, we should give careful thought to the inherent fal-lacy of using an infl ux of a million more newcomers expected by 2040 as a valid argument for needed transit upgrades.

Inasmuch as such massive population growth is expected to come almost entirely from current high levels of fed-

erally controlled immigration intakes, it is time to move the debate on sus-tainable immigration policies away from predominantly quantitative arguments to its qualitative urban implications of economic, environmental, social, cultur-al and overall demographic concerns.

In reality, the real costs of urban traffi c congestion arise from a self-infl icted pattern of runaway urban growth, falling victim to a self-defeating vicious cycle of economically unsustainable infrastructure demands.

E.W. Bopp, Tsawwassen

Surrey has been the fastest-growing community in the Lower Mainland for four decades.

We are also aware that almost a half-bil-lion Surrey tax dollars have been paid to TransLink in the past two decades.

Yet Surrey SkyTrain service has never been extended past King George Boulevard. We funded all new SkyTrain lines to other areas.

Also, Surrey residents are now paying tolls on most bridges serving this community.

Please, do not ask us to increase our taxes for service that never develops. Please vote no in the transit plebiscite.

Larry Cummings

Urban growth a challenge ▼ VOTE ‘NO’ TO REFLECT TRANSLINK’S EFFORTS IN SURREY

TransLink has announced that they will replace the es-calators at a number of Sky-Train stations, which will cost upwards of $12 million.

For those of us south of the Fraser, guess which station is scheduled to be done last? Our 30-year-old stub line at Gate-way.

If the plebiscite is a “yes” majority, guess which transit improvements will be done fi rst and which ones will be done last.

Not only that, South Fraser residents will pay for the fi rst few years to get that subway line in Vancouver. We will also pay to complete the Coquitlam SkyTrain line.

Mayor Linda Hepner of Surrey continues to promise we will be getting the majority of the transit improvements by voting yes. She wants us to vote yes to ground-level LRT, while we pay for SkyTrain and subways north

of the Fraser. She wants us to vote yes to be last in line for new escalators, yes to getting a new Pattullo Bridge 10 or 12 years down the road, yes to additional bridge tolls if/when the Pattullo is completed, yes to tolls on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges, while all other crossings, interchanges and roadways are free for every-one else.

To top it off , our mayor has raised taxes by up to 10 per cent immediately after her election, without bothering to mention it during her campaign. As she said, whether the vote is yes or no, she is going ahead with LRT, to be funded solely by her taxpayers.

I hope I’m not the only one south of the Fraser to see, yes or no, Surrey taxpayers will pay for this vision. We are damned whether we vote yes or no.

If Lower Mainland residents are to pay equally, then we should demand SkyTrain and reject LRT. We should demand no tolls on bridges, or tolls on all bridges, tunnels and that golden highway to Whistler.

Mayors Gregor Robertson and Hepner are spending hundreds of thousands of our money to ram their ideas down our throats.

Please, someone stop Hepner from spending Surrey taxpay-ers’ money on transit when this is a fi nancial burden that should be shared by all who live in B.C. We have paid more than our share and we have one bus from Surrey that crosses the new Port Mann.

Th e mayors north of the Fras-er must be laughing at us while deciding which of their munici-palities get fi rst dibs on any new funding. Th ose of us south of the Fraser already know where we stand in the escalator line-up, and that is last, as usual.

Steve Bodajla, Surrey

An open letter to the Ministry of Education and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation:

You know how you want to provide more re-sources for special needs students? I’m guessing you likely have a bunch more things on your wish list as well. Th e problem has simply been fi nding enough money in the general budget without causing huge tax increases. I have an amazing idea for you.

My idea is to raise the sales tax by an amount that is dedicated to education. Start out with something small like 0.5 per cent. You can always raise it later. Put it to a referendum so that the people take responsibility. Call it an Education Improvement Tax. Few would dare vote against our children’s future. It’s a sure-fi re winner and you don’t raise regular taxes.

If people complain about it you can just say you were doing the wishes of the people. As an added bonus, you can start shifting existing education costs over to this “electorate approved” tax source, leaving the general tax fund for more whimsical ideas. Brilliant.

Speak with those behind the current Conges-tion Improvement Tax referendum for implemen-tation details.

“They can go on private property, just not on public space property,” Hepner said Wednesday.

The City of Sur-rey sign bylaw does include language that permits signs in public spaces during elections.

Asked if the “no” signs would qualify, as Elections BC is overseeing the transit referendum, Hepner said no.

“I would think not, it’s a plebiscite, not an election,” Hepner said.

The city is renting advertising space on bus shelters in public spaces pro-moting the yes vote, which Hepner said Bateman’s group is also entitled to do.

There is also a “vote yes” sign in the window of city hall, which is also public property.

“On city hall, yes,” Hepner said. “I don’t think you can define the ‘yes’ sign on city hall property the same way you can de-fine the ‘no’ sign on public rights of way.”

Johal said there have been no requests to put up a “no” sign at city hall.

Asked if no cam-paigners would be allowed to post a sign if they asked, Rehal said “we would review that request accord-ingly.”

Bateman wrote Hepner and the city on Wednesday morn-ing, lodging a com-plaint and asking for equal space in public facilities.

“Despite the prolif-eration of hundreds of non-conforming, illegal and ugly signs throughout Surrey, ours were singled out for near-instant removal,” Bateman says in his email to Hepner.

“We believe this

is an inappropriate political statement by City of Surrey staff, fuelled by your support for the TransLink tax.”

He said the no side should have equal space in taxpay-er-funded facilities.

“Fairness is a key tenet in any cam-paign. TransLink and various local govern-ments, including your own, are spending $7 million in taxpayer money to push for the TransLink tax,” Bateman said in the email. “We believe a few lawn signs and posters, paid for voluntarily by No TransLink Tax supporters with their after-tax dollars, should be allowed.”

He said because of the tight timeline – ballots are due back by May 29 – he would appreciate a response immediately.

As of The Lead-er’s press deadline Wednesday, there was

no word on wheth-er Bateman’s signs would be allowed.

Hepner said she understands the op-tics of Surrey taking down the no signs, seeing as the city is supporting the yes side.

“I can certainly see how it could be interpreted that way,” Hepner said. “That’s not the way I would interpret it.”

She said the no side should collect its signs that were taken and put them on pri-vate property.

“If they can find a store that will put up the no signs, nobody is going to have any trouble with that at all,” Hepner said.

She said the yes campaign is going well, with the abiding challenge being to get the message out to voters.

That message is that about 45 per cent of the transit benefits contained in the proposal will be coming south of the Fraser, with the bulk of them in Surrey.

“I hope (voters) realize that the cost is going to happen regardless, down the road,” Hepner said. “Whether that be ‘I’m stuck for an extra length of time in traf-fic,’ or whether that is ‘I can’t get there at all, because the ser-vice isn’t there’.”

She also under-stands the yes cam-paign is an “uphill struggle” and that a lot of people face financial constraints.

Fr iday Apr i l 10 2015 The Surrey-Nor th Delta Leader 9


JENNIFER LANG The Cloverdale Com-munity Association (CCA) is sounding the alarm over a town-home project in Clay-ton Heights, where a developer is asking for a break on parking

requirements in an area where on-street parking is a conten-tious issue.

The proposal – at 18818 71 Ave. – was approved in 2012, and construction on the 18-unit townhouse complex is already underway.

But now the devel-oper is seeking an exemption on the amount of parking required for half of the units.

To Mike Bola, pres-ident of the CCA, it’s the latest example of developers circum-venting Surrey’s land use planning process.

“The city needs to revisit its bylaws and close these loopholes,” he said.

Bola says the original application allowed two enclosed parking spaces and a driveway, which could be used as a third parking space for small vehicles.

Now, three years

later, owner 0910638 B.C. Ltd. is seeking a development permit amendment that would allow one, unenclosed tandem parking space for nine street-fronting units.

If approved, the amendment would allow the developer to increase density and lot coverage.

“Even though this amendment is only modifying nine of the

townhome units, this does mean that there would be nine less parking spaces which will now be pushed onto the street,” Bola said.

Besides, Bola said, plans show the development doesn’t provide any side-by-side garages, so it’s already being built to the maximum density.

With on-street park-ing already at a premi-um in the area, the association strongly opposed the parking amendment request when it came to a public hearing Feb. 2, and council agreed, he said.

This amendment will be heard during the Land Use meeting on April 13 at city hall. The public is wel-come to attend and observe.

“Loopholes like the fact that this devel-oper can ask for an amendment three years later is totally unacceptable,” Bola said.

The CCA is hoping council will reject the amendment request, once again keeping the community’s

parking situation in mind.

Meantime, Bola said the case is further proof that some of the city’s bylaws need an overhaul.

For one thing, the CCA would like to see city council impose a time limit on request-ing zoning bylaw amendments like this one.

“There should be a time limit as to when a developer can ask for an amendment and once the time limit has expired, no other option should be available including appeals,” he said.

The CCA’s role is to advocate on behalf of

the community and act as a grassroots liaison to city council on issues affecting the community, such as development issues and infrastructure.

The association has appeared at transpor-tation and infrastruc-ture meetings, chaired by Coun. Tom Gill, to request other bylaw amendments.

There are promising signs of progress, Bola said.

The CCA asked city council to cap the number of tandem garages units in a development at 25 per cent, and the city countered with 50 per cent, he said.

“We’ve seen 100-per-cent tandem units being put it,” he said. “Developers are saying, ‘Let’s just squeeze in everything we can.’ It causes problems with densi-fication.”

The CCA is currently lobbying the city to al-low parking three cars in a row in driveways where legal secondary suites are allowed.

The current bylaw doesn’t allow this, Bola said.

To the association, it’s another exam-ple of out-of-date or inadequate bylaws that make it difficult for Surrey residents to work around.

“People aren’t going to place a parking pad in the middle of their yard to please the city,” he said. “They will build one right next to the existing driveway so it blends in with the landscap-ing. We all know in real life that a home-owner does not want their driveway used by their tenant since allowing this would make it difficult for them to get in and out of their garage.”

The association is also pressing coun-cil to increase the penalty on multiple secondary suites from $1,000 a year to $5,000 a year.

Alternately, the city could implement a two-tiered system where there would be a $2,500 charge for a first offence and $5,000 annually each year after that, if the illegal suite was still operating.

Baby (primary) teeth play a big role in your child’s speech development, nutrition and create space for adult teeth to develop correctly. Limit sugary food and drinks and clean your baby’s mouth

YOUR CHILD’S BABY TEETH CAN LAST UNTIL THEY’RE 14 YEARS OLD.

◾ Caring for the mouth starts early. Begin by cleaning your baby’s mouth using a wet cloth and gently wiping the gums to remove any leftover milk or formula from the mouth.

◾ Brush your child’s teeth as soon as the fi rst tooth appears and make sure you lift the lip to brush along the gum line. Young children cannot clean their own teeth. Brush for them when they are very young and with them as they grow older.

◾ Use a soft toothbrush. Choose an appropriate size for the age of the child.

◾ Make brushing fun and develop a routine: brush at a specifi c time (after a bath or before a book); in a specifi c location (mom’s knee); or with specifi c cues (music, counting).

◾ Use a small amount of fl uoride tooth- paste to protect the teeth from cavities. Children under the age of 3 should only use a smear (size of a grain of rice) while those over 3 can use a pea-sized amount. Encourage your children to spit out the tooth- paste.

◾ Cavity-causing bacteria can transfer from your mouth to your child’s. Avoid sharing soothers, toothbrushes or other items with your child.

◾ Regardless of age, discourage graz- ing on sugary foods and drinks throughout the day or overnight. For instance, constant and slow sip- ping on milk-fi lled bottles or sippy cups with juice, keeps sugars in the mouth and can lead to cavities—fi ll them with water instead.

◾ Choose healthy snacks such as cheese, fruit or nuts. What’s good for the body is good for the mouth.

◾ The earlier a dental problem is found, the easier it is to fi x. Check your child’s mouth and visit the dentist regularly.

◾ Look in your child’s mouth for signs of disease such as brown or yellow spots on the teeth. Other signs that your child may be suffering from dental disease include: trouble sleeping; diffi culty concentrating; and, avoiding certain foods, such as cold drinks and foods.

◾ The fi rst dental visit should take place by age one or within six months of when you see the fi rst tooth. Through regular examinations your dentist will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums to catch problems early and prevent disease. Starting dental visits early can also improve your child’s comfort with visiting the dentist.

Remember, children learn by example: if you look after your own teeth and gums, your children will too.

Baby teeth are important tooKeeping your child’s baby teeth healthy and strong is important to their oral

and overall health and development. Baby teeth begin to appear around 6 months and can last until a child is 13 or 14. They are an important part of your child’s nutrition, speech development, self-confi dence and play a signifi cant role in the placement of permanent adult teeth.

Without proper care and attention children can suffer from dental decay (cavi-ties). Decay is caused when sugars in the mouth mix with plaque bacteria to create an acid that can destroy tooth enamel. The longer sugar is in the mouth, the more acid is produced, increasing the risk of cavities.

Dental decay is painful—it can lead to infection and tooth loss. Children with dental disease may also have trouble sleeping, diffi culty concentrating and suffer emotional distress—feeling bad about the way they look.

Dental disease is not always recognizable. Pain is usually a sign there is a prob-lem but very young children are not able to explain when they are in pain.

The good news is that dental disease is preventable. Establishing healthy habits from an early age, including regular dental exams, can start your child on the path to good oral health.

Set your child up for good dental health:

Th e fi rst regular shipment of human milk do-nated by lactating women across the Lower Main-land has now arrived at Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian hospitals for sick and premature babies in their neonatal intensive care units.

Donor milk is processed at the Provincial Milk Bank at B.C. Women’s Hospital, which has ex-panded its capacity after Fraser Health last year opened new human milk collection depots across the region.

Donations are now taken at all health units in Burnaby, New Westminster, Port Moody, Delta

(two sites), Maple Ridge, Surrey (four sites), White Rock, Langley, Mission, Abbotsford, Agas-siz, Chilliwack and Hope.

Premature babies that are fed formula instead of human breast milk are at greater risk of certain infections.

Th ey often have compromised immune sys-tems, underdeveloped stomachs or other condi-tions that make them more vulnerable.

Lactating moms who have been screened are encouraged to collect extra breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it.

Pasteurized donor milk has active benefi cial properties for babies, providing them with anti-bodies to fi ght disease and infection.

Four Metro Vancouver phar-macies are part of a research project that aims to eventually off er personalized medicine to patients who undergo genetic testing.

UBC researchers are partner-ing with community pharma-cists to collect DNA from saliva samples to test how an individ-ual’s genetic makeup can alter decisions on medication choice and dosage to make their use more eff ective.

Th e B.C. Pharmacy Asso-

ciation says its $400,000 18-month project with Genome BC, dubbed Genomics for Precision Drug Th erapy in the Community Pharmacy, should bring the promise of personal-ized medicine a major step clos-er by sequencing each patient’s genome.

Genetic testing is often discussed as a way to assess disease risk, but the fi eld of pharmacogenomics seeks to determine how a person’s genes infl uence their response to certain medications.

“We’re focusing on the me-chanics of getting the genome from a pharmacy, bringing it into the lab, and decoding it with a high enough accuracy and in a fast enough time frame

that you could actually benefi t from that information,” said Corey Nislow, professor in the department of pharmaceutical sciences at UBC.

A total of 200 volunteers currently taking the drug warfarin are to be recruited at 22 B.C. pharmacies, including two in Vancouver and one each in Surrey, Burnaby and Port Coquitlam.

Once the patients’ DNA is decoded and indexed, research-ers expect they will be able to use the data to determine how to custom tailor the use of other drugs.

Patients involved in the proj-ect won’t get any information back on their DNA – it’s strictly for research purposes.

Metro Vancouver mayors aim to intro-duce road pricing, which could replace the current system of toll-ing only new bridges with consistent tolls on all existing cross-ings, or per-kilometre road use charges on all major routes.

So is that idea also scuttled if Metro vot-ers defeat the proposed 0.5-per-cent sales tax increase that would fund transit expansion across the region?

Th e Mayors’ Council intends to explore road pricing options regard-less of the outcome.

A referendum “no” vote on the congestion tax does not block tolls on a replaced Pattullo Bridge nor does it pre-vent an eventual move to road pricing.

Mayors propose road pricing be rev-enue-neutral under a “yes” outcome that authorizes the new sales tax; road use fees would replace bridge tolls within eight years and allow a six-cent-per-litre reduction in the TransLink gas tax.

A no vote that blocks the extra $250 million per year from sales tax may create more pres-sure to instead pursue the idea as a revenue generator.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore said there’s been no debate about that and the province has been clear that any new funding

source has to go to referendum.

Road pricing is part of the mayors’ long-range vision because making drivers pay to travel by road is expected to have a profound eff ect on how they choose to get around.

Road tolls that

change by the time of day – charging more at peak times and less or zero off -peak – would spur some drivers to drive at cheaper times or take transit, easing the worst congestion at rush hour peaks and making the system more effi cient, experts say.

“It spreads the peak,” says Robin Lindsey, transportation and logistics professor at UBC’s Sauder School of Business. “Th ose people who are more fl exible will go to the off -peak and the people that have no choice but to travel on the peak and pay will have quicker trips.”

Th e ideal system, he says, would be one where vehicles are tracked by satellite and charged according to how far they drive.

“It’s an economist’s dream and most mo-torists consider it their nightmare,” said Todd Litman of the Victoria Transportation Policy Institute.

He calls road pric-ing a smart solution compared to raising revenue from other types of taxes, because of its ability to limit congestion.

“If it’s done correctly, it’s a real win-win.”

A modest toll on all major bridges – $1 to $2 on any crossing of the Fraser River, Burrard Inlet and False Creek, with reductions at off -peak times – in-stead of higher tolls on just a few would greatly improve congestion, Litman predicts.

Years of study is ex-pected before one rec-ommended model for road pricing emerges.

Tolling gantries could also be erected to charge drivers to use highways or to cross specifi c lines in the re-gion so the system cap-tures east-west trips that don’t cross bridg-es, such as Coquitlam to UBC or Fort Langley to Tsawwassen.

Litman also agreed a comprehensive GPS-based tracking system would be the ultimate way to track all vehicle trips and charge ac-cording to where they travel and when.

Singapore has had road pricing with gantries for years but is moving to a GPS sys-

tem to charge by distance. Oregon is testing a voluntary road-pricing system that uses GPS to charge 1.5 cents per mile driven in exchange for a rebate on fuel taxes.

Litman said the pricing system could have a daily cap on the maxi-mum a driver is charged, or a home zone exemption that allows a certain number of free kilometres each day.

Road pricing could also fi x the unfairness of the current system of just tolling new bridges, which caus-es people to drive far out of their way to avoid paying.

Th e mayors’ plan projects a 24-per-cent drop in how far people drive over the next 30 years.

“Th is progress comes partly through investment in alternatives to driving, but fully three quarters of that progress is from the intro-duction of time- and distance-based road tolls,” the plan says, adding “pricing will need to play a pivotal role” to reach plan targets.

Any road pricing scheme would have to recover at least the $120 million a year in tolls paid at the Port Mann Bridge and $40 million at the Golden Ears, plus presumably fi nance new bridges to replace the Pattullo, the Massey Tunnel and potentially others in the future.

According to mayors’ council estimates, each penny charged per kilometre travelled could add up to roughly $100 million per year in rev-enue under a road pricing scheme.

It would take about $115 million

to chop the gas tax from 17 to 11 cents a litre, or $350 million to elim-inate it altogether.

Without road pricing, new bridges are assumed to be tolled like the Port Mann.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone has promised a review of the province’s current tolling policy, which allows tolls only on new infra-structure and only if there’s a free alternative.

He has indicated the current toll-ing system would have to be reorga-nized in the name of fairness if the region ends up with just one heavily congested untolled crossing of the Fraser – the Alex Fraser Bridge.

Th e no campaign leader Jordan Bateman said he’s not yet convinced the existing Massey Tunnel needs to be replaced and he doesn’t buy claims road pricing would be reve-nue-neutral.

He said there are privacy concerns about a GPS system, which would be complex and fraught with potential problems.

“In theory, road pricing is great,” Bateman said. “But when TransLink gets their hands on theoretical things and makes them real, they have a disturbing habit of screwing them up.”

Referendum Questions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and trans-portation referendum. Voters must mail in ballots by May 29 on whether they support the addition of a 0.5 per cent sales tax in the region.

JEFF NAGEL

Opponents of the proposed Aevitas haz-ardous waste recycling plant near the Fraser River in Chilliwack are urging Metro Vancou-ver to join their push for a safer site.

Outdoor Research

Council of B.C. chair Mark Angelo on Th urs-day urged Metro di-rectors to take a stand because toxins from mercury to PCBs could spill or seep directly into the river due to an accident, fl ood, fi re or earthquake.

“Th ey could not have picked a worse location,” Angelo told Metro’s climate action committee, adding he doesn’t oppose the pro-posal of Ontario-based Aevitas Inc., only its

location less than 200 metres from the Fraser.

Th e plant would recycle metal, glass and mercury from light bulbs and remove PCBs from transformer oil for re-use but the prospect has stirred up fi erce opposition in the Fraser Valley.

Angelo said down-stream communities are also at risk, as well as the habitat of salm-on and sturgeon, if something goes wrong.

“Why play Russian roulette with the river when you don’t have to?” he asked. “No-where else in North America are plants like this being built along-side rivers,” he said.

Chilliwack city coun-cil has agreed to the project in principle and rezoned the land, but a fi nal approval decision will be up to the pro-vincial environment ministry.

Ministry offi cials have said it will only be allowed if it’s deemed safe but have not yet decided if a full envi-ronmental assessment will be required.

Th e Metro committee referred the issue to staff to report back with more information and a recommended position.

Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said he opposes the plant location and added the Metro regional district should not hesitate to wade into the debate on the threat of toxins fl owing downriver, in light of the Fraser Val-ley Regional District’s strong opposition to Metro’s waste-to-ener-gy incineration plans.

Th e FVRD argues its air quality will be harmed by emissions blowing east from in-creased garbage incin-eration and it has also opposed the renewal of the operating permit for Metro’s existing incinerator.

“Fair is fair,” Steves said. “Th ey’re con-cerned about air quality, well we’re concerned about water quality.”

Aboriginal leaders in the Fraser Valley also oppose the Aevitas project and have said they cannot imagine any acceptable location on the river’s fl ood-plain.

On March 31, 2015, another ‘fi rst’ was added to the history books. A blue Audi SQ5 crossover drove into New

York City or, more precisely drove itself into the city just in time for the opening of the New York International Auto Show, ending a journey begun nine days earlier on Treasure Island, located in San Francisco Bay near the mid-point of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in northern California.

Th e Audi headed south to Los Angeles on Day 1, and then turned east to cross the southern states for three days. It turned north for the next fi ve —from Mississippi to New York including a quick trip through Washington, DC. Th e Audi - ‘Roadrunner’ - , so nick-named by its ‘hands-off ’ engineering crew, packed with technology developed by Delphi Automotive PLC, covered 99 percent of the 3,400 mile/5,472 kilometer distance in fully automated mode making this the longest North American and fi rst coast-to-coast automated drive.

Travelling six to eight hours per day—and never on its own at night—Roadrunner, said Delphi’s Chief Technology Offi cer Jeff Owens, “perform[ed] exceptionally well… navigat[ing] through mountains, heat, traffi c jams, trucks, road construction, and even tumbleweed.” Intervention by a ‘human operator’ occurred “once in a construction zone and once to avoid police stopped on the hard shoulder.” And he said, while “improvements are needed in the way the car recognizes road markings of diff erent types and qualities, …overall the project has been a huge success.”

Delphi Automotive PLC describes itself as “a leading global supplier of technologies …that make cars and trucks smarter and safer as well as more powerful and effi cient.” Th is record-setting trip, therefore, aside from the publicity benefi ts, was also a data-gathering exercise, producing nearly three terabytes, described as “about 30 percent of all of the printed material in the Library of Congress.”

Equipped with six long-range radars, four short-range radars, three vision-based cameras, six lidars (light detection and ranging devices), a localization system, intelligent software algorithms and a full suite of Advanced Drive Assistance Systems, Roadrunner was tasked on this trip with demonstrating its most advanced capabilities. Said Delphi’s Jeff Owens “our vehicle performed remarkably well during this drive, exceeding our expectations.”

Th e vehicle demonstrated the ability to instantaneously make complex decisions, like stopping and proceeding at a four-way stop, timing a highway merge, calculating how to maneuver safely around a bicyclist on a city street, and warning the driver to resume control using both verbal and visual warnings.

While implementation of this technology for all motor vehicles may be still on the distant horizon the self-driving car concept has now been proven. Wired Magazine noted that “What’s remarkable isn’t the fact Delphi completed this trip, but the fact several companies could have done it. Google, Audi, or Mercedes would have had little trouble handling this level of autonomous highway driving. Th e news here isn’t that this was possible, but that it was so easy.”

Th e same magazine article pointed out that “Google may be more advanced than anyone: Th e tech giant says its self-driving cars are so far along, they can recognize and respond to hand signals from a police offi cer directing traffi c.”

paths. Enjoy entertaining and outdoor living on spacious patios and decks with a professionally landscaped yard.

Nearby schools include private, secondary and elementary education op-tions, restaurants range from bars and grills to coffee shops, outdoor adventures include golf courses and parks, while local indoor activities range from the Maple Ridge Museum, a public library, the ACT Arts Centre, Chances Casino and many others.

“We are located just minutes from Kwanaka Creek Regional Park and are also a 5-minute drive from the Westcoast express station, if you need to commute to Vancouver, and 10 minutes

from the Golden Ears Bridge,” says marketing and sales manager, Vanessa Isler.

A matter of fact, Isler says that “enviable location” is among the Top 3 features of Maple Heights.

The others include, contempo-rary finishes like shaker or flat panel cabinetry and quartz coun-tertops throughout (bathrooms and kitchen), as well as stainless steel gas appliances, and the fact that the new, family friendly com-munity is built by StreetSide, a Qualico company.

“Homeowners can be assured that we as a company have been around for 65 years and aren’t go-ing anywhere,” says Isler.

All of the townhomes are three-bedrooms, starting from $330, including net GST.

There is a choice of two inte-rior colour schemes by Occupy Design., - all homes come with powder rooms on the main floor and 9ft ceilings, with the optional upgrade of a cozy electric fire-place in the living room.

Maple Heights offers the kind of

freedom and security that comes from finding a place with plenty of room to grow, play, move and roam. From big open spaces and lush habitats to explore, including Alouette Lake or a huge array of hiking trails, along with camping, boating and fishing – the laid-back and friendly charm of the area is a reminder that finding a dream home and location in one shouldn’t be compromised.

While taking in the scenic mountains on a Sunday morn-ing, enjoying a picnic by a nearby lake, exploring the abundance of waterfalls and creeks, or strolling to the one of the nearby stores for a bottle of wine to entertain guestsin your contemporary town home, the opportunity for a great life at Maple Heights is there, it’s up to you to decide what to do with it.

The sales centre is located at #104 – 11305 240 Street, Maple Ridge (240th and Kanaka Way). Grand opening is Saturday April 11 at noon!

A Surrey man has been honoured by the prime minister for his volunteer eff orts.

Raghbir Singh Bains is among 17 recipients of this year’s Prime

Minister’s Volunteer Awards (PMVA) and attended a special cere-mony hosted by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in Toronto last month.

Th e PMVSA rec-ognize two national recipients – one for lifelong achievement and one for an emerg-ing leader – as well as 15 regional recipients,

including individuals, businesses and not-for-profi t organizations.

Th e awards also high-light best practices in community leadership and encourage partner-ships across sectors.

“Canada ranks near the very top of the World Giving Index. Our generosity is evident abroad, but it is also plainly seen

every day, right here at home,” said Harp-er at the ceremony. “Contributing to their community is the primary motivation for Canadian volunteers, who gladly and freely give their time, energy and experience.”

Th e recipients were presented with medals, certifi cates and lapel pins during the ceremony. As part of their recognition package, each recipient will identify a not-for-profi t organization to receive a one-time funding grant in its honour.

Not-for-profi t orga-nizations identifi ed by the 15 regional awards recipients will each receive $5,000, and those identifi ed by the two national awards recipients will each receive $10,000.

According to a news release, Bains’ volun-tary eff orts have left a signifi cant mark on his community.

He is a trained drug counsellor, translator and interpreter, and has arranged and hosted hundreds of seminars, conferences,

rallies, exhibitions and youth workshops.

Bains often gives free lectures to students in schools, colleges and universities on subjects such as life skills, mul-ticulturalism, diversity, cooperative living, nationalism, cultural values, drugs, traffi ck-ing, sexual assault, prostitution, bullying, domestic violence and more.

His work has helped countless immigrants with language barriers overcome social chal-

lenges and settle in British Columbia.

Bains has sat on many advisory com-mittees in Surrey, Delta and Vancouver. He has also helped to raise awareness on the plight of HIV/AIDS in Africa and the ill eff ects of substance abuse around the world.

“Social challenges are being tackled in new ways across the country,” Harper said. “Local organizations could not achieve the incredible level of

success they do, and Canadian communi-ties would not be as vibrant if it weren’t for the talented, capable volunteers and charitable efforts of innovative organi-zations from coast to coast to coast.”

Th e call for the 2015 nominations for the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards launched on April 13, and will run until June 30.

More than two dozen army cadets braved cold and rain in order to complete the inaugural Cadet Army Run in support

of the Dayle Rudman Memorial Scholar-ship, an “epic” ordeal involving endurance, know-how, and even First Aid skills.

The cadets – mem-bers of Surrey’s 2812

Seaforth Highlanders Royal Canadian Army Cadet corps, ranging in age from 12 to 18 – travelled across a 4.8-km course set in the east section of Tynehead Regional Park, underneath a late March downpour.

The course includ-ed a sprint, and a belly crawl, along with other obstacles and

challenges.“We couldn’t have

picked a better day to host an army run,” says MWO Kevin Fierling.

Despite the hard-ships, the experience was unforgettable – in a good way – for everyone who turned out for the “epic” run, Fierling said.

Fierling, who was

awarded a plaque rec-ognizing his individu-al leadership skills on the course, says the participants pushed each other to go fast-er, harder and further than they thought possible.

The aim of the challenge was to raise money that will be used to create a schol-arship commemorat-ing a cadet volunteer.

Dayle Rudman was a tireless champion for the cadet program – both in the areas of track and field, and the arts. She passed away suddenly last fall.

A scholarship open to Seaforth High-lander cadets who exemplify these qual-ities will be created through the regis-tration fees from the cadet army run, and from private dona-tions.

The March 29 event raised $340.

Vancouver Island world music supergroup Th ree Worlds – com-prised of instrumental virtuosos Brad Preve-doros, Niel Golden and Greg Joy – are perform-ing tomorros (April 11) from 8-11 p.m. at the Firehall Centre for the

Arts, 11489 84 Ave.Th e evening will

feature the trio’s unique blend of world music styles.

Prevedoros is re-nowned for his in-strumental expertise, exuberant live perfor-mances, original compo-sitions and innovative re-imaginings of works by other composers. His repertoire of multi-genre music includes a mix of jazz, Latin, pop, classical, Celtic and folk. Since 1988, Prevedoros has released ten interna-tionally distributed re-cordings and sold nearly half a million CDs.

Golden is a percus-sionist specializing in Indian tabla drums. His interpretation of Indian classical music, African, blues and other world music styles spans a three-decade career. A highlight of his perfor-mances are his compo-sitions on the new and elusive hand played steel drum the hang (pro-nounced hung), a fl ying saucer-esque instru-ment from Switzerland.

Joy brings a fusion of Celtic, baroque, folk-rock, and contemporary jazz elements to the mix, through his mas-tery of guitar, fl ute, and hammered dulcimer.

Joy has recorded eighteen albums, which have sold more than a quarter million copies worldwide. His music has also been used on many compilation albums in Europe and Southeast Asia.

“Th ere is a mesmeric quality to what we do,” said Joy.

Prevedoros added: “I think people like the fact that we’re not try-ing to hit them over the head with a message.”

Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door. Call 250-598-1810, email [email protected] or visit www.threeworlds.ca/

Th e good news for Tyler Wotherspoon is he’s back in the National Hockey League (NHL).

But that doesn’t mean the Cloverdale native is seeing any action as his Calgary Flames battle for a playoff position.

Wotherspoon, 22, joined the Flames last Friday after he was called up from the Adirondack Flames of the Ameri-can Hockey League (AHL). He has practiced with Calgary for the past week, and while he has been a healthy scratch for the three games the NHL team has played in the past week, he’s still happy with the situation.

“It’s just part of the business,” Wotherspoon told the Calgary Sun. “Obviously, it’s tough travelling that much but you’ve got to stick with it and not let it bother you at all.”

A second-round pick by the Flames in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, Wotherspoon is in his second season as a professional. Th e six-foot-two, 210-pound defenceman

has played in 61 games for Adirondack this season, scor-ing twice and adding 22 assists for 24 points.

He played in 14 NHL games last season after he was a late-season call-up from the AHL, given some playing time at the highest level after the Flames had fallen out of the playoff race.

Th is season, he’s in Calgary in case of injury during the fi nal week of the regular season, and possibly the playoff s next week.

“It’s a good feeling to be called up at this time of year, especially with the playoff push right now and this envi-ronment. It’s nice to get this experience,” he said.

“It’s a diff erent environment with all that’s happening in the standings and how big these games are. It’s totally dif-ferent from last year, there was less pressure I would say. Th is year, there’s a lot riding on the line and it’s exciting.”

Another Surrey native continues to make the most of his late-season addition to an NHL roster.

Ottawa Senators goaltender Andrew Hammond was named the First Star of the Week by the NHL Monday. It was the second time Hammond was the First Star of the Week, and third time he was among the Th ree Stars

Two former Cloverdale Minor Hockey Association players currently playing in the Western Hockey League (WHL) are among the top 100 North American skaters in the National Hockey League Central Scouting fi nal rankings.

Parker Wotherspoon, currently with the Tri-City Americans, is ranked 43rd while Tyler Soy of the Victoria Royals is listed 78th.

Central Scouting ranks players eligible for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, set for June 26-27 in Sunrise, Florida. Th eir fi nal rankings were released Wednesday.

Wotherspoon, a defenceman in his second season with the Americans, was their leading scorer among defenders with nine goals and 42 points this past season. He added an assist in four playoff games, after which the Ameri-cans were eliminated in straight games by the Kelowna Rockets. His brother Tyler is currently with the NHL’s Calgary Flames.

He tallied twice and added 16 assists in his rookie season in 2013-14, and is projected to be a third-round selection in the Entry Draft.

Soy, a centre, will be playing against the Rockets this weekend in the WHL’s B.C. Division fi nal. He scored twice and added four assists for the Royals in their fi rst-round playoff series, in which they defeated the Prince George Spruce Kings in fi ve games.

Soy completed his second season in the provincial capi-tal with 28 goals and 63 points in the regular season, and was named winner of the team’s Unsung Hero award.

In his rookie season, Soy tallied 15 times and added 15 assists. He is projected to be a fi fth-round selection in the draft.

Preseason preparation gives way to opening day in the B.C. Premier Baseball League (PBL) this weekend.

The provincial league for players 18-and-under has a dozen games scheduled to be played Saturday and Sunday, including four featuring the Whalley Chiefs.

Named the PBL’s Organiza-tion of the Year in 2014, the Chiefs begin their 44-game season in Kelowna, where they will play four games in two days against the Okana-gan Athletics.

The Chiefs are coming off an 18-30 (won-lost) regular season in 2014, which saw them finish in 10th place. Okanagan was 28-20, placing fourth.

The Chiefs began preparations for the 2015 season three months ago, attending the 2015 Martin Luther King Tournament in Phoe-nix, Arizona Jan. 16-20.

For the second consecutive win-ter, the Chiefs took two teams to the tournament. This season, the Whalley coaching staff was assist-ed by five professional players cur-rently living in the Phoenix area.

Cole Armstrong and Adam Loe-wen, two former Chiefs players,

were among the five Canadian pro players who offered instruction during the team’s stay in Arizona.

Armstrong retired as a player fol-lowing the 2013 season, ending an 11-year career in baseball’s minor leagues, four of which were at the AAA level.

Loewen was drafted fourth overall in the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft, and made his major league debut with the Baltimore Orioles in 2006. He is currently in the Philadelphia Phillies mi-nor-league system.

Taylor Green, Dustin Molleken and Emerson Frost-ad also took time to work with the Chiefs.

Green, a former PBL player with the Parksville Royals, played third base at the major league level with the Milwau-kee Brewers. Molleken recently signed with the Cleveland Indians and is pitching in their minor-league system, while Vancouver native Frostad is at-tending Arizona State Univer-sity after a 10-year profession-al career in the minor-league systems of the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers.

“They are genuinely inter-ested in the development of the high performance

programs in B.C. and Canada like the Whalley Chiefs,” said Chiefs general manager Paul Hargreaves.

The Chiefs will play their first home game next Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Whalley Stadium against the Abbotsford Cardinals.

Sign-up for Super-week

NICK GREENIZAN

Th e Tour de White Rock cycling week-end may still be a few months away, but on-line registration for it and other events on the BC Superweek calendar is already accepting riders.

“With the growth of BC Superweek as one of North America’s most recognized professional road-race series, the interest from teams and riders to register as soon as possible has also grown,” said Super-week race director Mark Ernstring.

“As a result, we decid-ed to open registration earlier this year than in the past.”

Th e Tour de White Rock is set for the July 17-18, with the popular criterium set for uptown White Rock on the fi rst day (Friday), while the longer road race will be the next morning, with the start/fi nish line on Marine Drive.

For the fi rst time, this year’s event – normally a three-day aff air – will not include the hill climb, which was axed from the schedule for 2015.

Th is year, BC Super-week features, in total, six criteriums and two road races. More than $70,000 in cash – plus thousands more in crowd primes – is on the line in the six crite-rium races.

In addition to the Tour de White Rock, other Superweek events include the Tour de Delta, UBC Grand Prix, Global Relay Gastown Grand Prix and the Giro di Burnaby.

Th e men’s races are open to pro 1/2 riders, while the women’s races are open to those in pro 1/2/3 categories.

“BC Superweek has always been one of my favourite events,” said veteran cyclist Anika Todd. “Th e racing is incredible. Challenging courses, top-notch com-petition and big crowds make (it) a really special experience.”’

announced weekly.The former Surrey

Eagle, called up to the NHL by the Senators from their AHL farm team in Binghamton in late January, went 3-0-1 (win-loss-over-time loss) last week with a 1.63 goals-against average and a .940 save percentage.

Also named the NHL’s First Star for March, Hammond has posted a 17-1-2 record with a 1.86 goals-against average, .939 save percentage and two shutouts since his season debut Feb. 16.

Hammond was recently named as the Ottawa Senators nom-inee for the Bill Mas-terton Award, which is presented annually to a player “who best exemplifies the qual-ities of perseverance, sportsmanship, and dedication to hockey.”

Local chapters of the Professional Hockey Writers’ Association (PHWA) choose nom-inees for each of the 30 NHL teams, and the San Jose chapter selected Scott Hannan as the nominee for the San Jose Sharks.

Hannan, a graduate

of Tamanawis Second-ary in Surrey, played his 1,000th game in the NHL this past season.

Drafted by the Sharks 23rd overall from the Kelowna Rockets in the 1997 Entry Draft, Hannan played seven seasons in San Jose before

signing with the Col-orado Avalanche as a free agent in 2007.

After four seasons in Denver, he had short stints with the Washington Capitals, Calgary Flames and Nashville Predators before he was traded back to the Sharks late in the 2012-13 season.

A stay-at-home defenceman, Hannan has scored 38 goals and 625 points in 1,055 career games.
