Traffic chaos for 18 months for bridge work Patullo Bridge to be completely closed nights and weekends while major repairs are done to improve safety By Jeff Nagel Commuters can brace for a year and a half of worsened congestion starting next spring when TransLink closes half the lanes of the Pattullo Bridge for major repairs and shuts down the entire crossing at night and on weekends. For 18 months likely beginning next April, the already heavily congested bridge will be reduced from four lanes to two on weekdays – one in each direction – and heavy trucks
will be banned, along with cyclists and pedestrians. TransLink infrastructure management and engineering vice-president Fred Cummings acknowledged it will mean major disruptions for commuters and the congestion there will spill over to other routes as motorists avoid the Pattullo. “It looks like it’s going to add, depending on the time of day, anywhere from five to 15 minutes at the minimum to people’s travel time if they try to go across the Pattullo on
a weekday,” he said. “It’s also going to have impacts on the other crossings as far to the west as the Alex Fraser and possibly the Massey Tunnel as well.” But he said the work must go ahead. The 78-year-old bridge needs a $100-million deck rehabilitation and a seismic upgrade, including the addition of seismic bearings. See TRUCKERS / Page 8

WELCOMING NEW PATIENTS
By Jeff Nagel Metro Vancouver cities are vowing to take coordinated action to stop the dumping of illegal fill on farmland, which degrades it and may contaminate it with demolition debris or invasive species like fire ants. Some cities in the region have controls on soil excavated and deposited within their boundaries, but there’s no good system to track movements of fill that cross civic boundaries. Compacted soil excavated from urban construction sites gets trucked – sometimes surreptitiously – out to agricultural areas where farmland owners are paid handsomely to accept fill loads. Politicians fear that, if left unchecked, the practice will render vast swaths of farmland un-

Chili champs serve up victory A tasty batch of “Black Jack� Chili helped secure the top prize for defending champions Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino at the 18th annual Cloverdale Chili Cook-off. Also for the second year in a row, second place went to Rusty’s Pub – always a crowd favourite at the competition – for its 2015 entry, Release the Kraken chili. Held annually at the start of the May long weekend during the Cloverdale Rodeo, the cook-off involves teams from local businesses and organizations serving up homemade chili. The public is invited to sample all the entries and vote for their favourite. One of Cloverdale’s newest businesses, The Chop Shop, claimed third place with Clearly Chopped Chili at the May 15 cook-off at Clover Square Village. It’s presented by the Cloverdale BIA and the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce, and sponsors. – Cloverdale Reporter

The playground campaign collected $165,000 through PAC events, donations from businesses and individuals, plus a large contribution from the City of Surrey.
The result is a safe, expanded playground to be proud of that will help serve the community for years to come, Atwal said, expressing thanks to everyone who supported the project financially or through volunteer hours at events and during installation.

A seat to nowhere? To the editor; May we ask the question, who paid for these benches (pictured, right) to be put at this location? There are so many seniors in Cloverdale who must walk to the shops or wait to take public transit. Those benches would be a welcome sight to sit for a moment to rest or wait for a bus. It seems these lovely benches will serve no purpose for a long time to come, they must have cost a great deal of money to be sitting unused along Highway 15 and 57 Ave. Could we please have some placed where they could be used? Our seniors do like to walk. L. Olson, M. Harrop, B. Campbell Seniors in Cloverdale
To the editor
Drawing the roots of literacy To the editor; If you have children you are probably interested in literacy and how it is best taught at home and school. Did you know that spontaneous drawing is a second ‘language’ that children find easy to use because it doesn’t require a code? Moreover, research tells us that it significantly aids literacy. It begins with an exploratory scribble in the second year and quickly develops into symbolic representations, e.g. a circle with ‘happy face’ for humans. It evolves further into a complex vehicle for sustained storytelling, with a symbol for everything that matters to the story. Literacy comes into it: • When themes are discussed by the child artists and caregiver • We assume that as the child draws, a silent monologue accompanies the flow of the drawing • Key words are added adjacent to the image or as a caption for full-blown text
MERLE HARROP PHOTO
Benches on 57 Avenue between 175 St. and the bypass face an empty lot, site of the former Cloverdale Mall, awaiting redevelopment.
• Verbal fluency is further enhanced by post-drawing conversations with the caregiver. Children love to explain their drawings which are often more complex than would be possible with decoded words. Please note: giving children “how to draw” techniques is counter productive. The child must be encouraged to ‘invent’ his or her own language of pictorial symbols. By the way, you do not have to be someone who draws nor do you have to be a teacher. The role for parents and teachers is to inspire and motivate and schedule regular opportunities. Children on their own have no idea of the range of themes and topics they are capable of illustrating. Without motivation they will give up and turn to television or texting friends. A thematic guideline may help. The caregiver can visit and revisit themes related to: • Using perception to draw something visible – children respond to things they can see including still life subjects, humans, toys, views of interiors, views out windows • Illustrating emotions and feeling e.g. sto-
ries, situations, poems songs with an affective content • Intellectual content – problems to solve, ideas to illustrate prompted by the pros and cons of issues and 4. based on memory – of past events or event staged for brief study and then removed. This current project of spreading information is sponsored by the Drawing Network, an informal community of parents, teachers, academics and concerned citizens devoted to “spreading the word” about a largely overlooked language resource. There is no formal structure, no AGM, no fees or responsibilities, simply a desire to add spontaneous drawing to the home/school curriculum. We welcome correspondence and offer free help to parents and teachers who encounter problems in setting up drawing programs at home or school. Get in touch with us through email.

Father and contractor cooks his way to first prize on CTV show By Sheila Reynolds Surrey concrete contractor David Jorge is $100,000 richer after winning the MasterChef Canada finale. Jorge cooked his way through 15 episodes of challenges and varied ingredients to rise to the Top Two in the television competition that began with 49 home cooks from across the country. On May 24, he faced off against Moncton’s Line Pelletier. The two engaged in a threecourse culinary battle, trying to wow the trio of judges and their tastebuds. While Pelletier won the appetizer round, Jorge’s main course of wild boar belly with geoduck clams and his lemon curd parfait dessert pulled him ahead of his competition, earning him the MasterChef title. The Cloverdale resident goes home with $100,000, a trophy and the opportunity to fulfill a longtime dream.

South Langley is ‘fill central’ according to Coun. Charlie Fox From page one
add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars – much more than the maximum fines if caught, according to a Metro report. For truckers, $200 a load is a lot cheaper than $3,240 in tipping fees at the Vancouver Landfill for a 30-tonne truck. And the report says there are no measures in place to control the quality of fill being dumped. The six Metro cities with 95 per cent of the region’s farmland – Langley Township, Delta, Surrey, Richmond, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge – require soil deposition permits for placing fill on farmland and have stepped up enforcement, but it’s difficult for them to police against excessive dumping or undeclared loads coming from elsewhere in the region. Meanwhile, most other municipalities either have no regulations on what developers can do with soil from demolition or excavation sites, or else only regulate fill dumped locally. They’re expected to add new provisions forcing developers to declare where soil is coming from and where it’s going as part of construction and demolition permitting. Metro Vancouver is to launch a web-based registry as a two-year trial to pull together the information across civic boundaries and help track where the fill goes from specified construction sites. Metro expects the problem of illegal fill dumping to worsen as the region’s population grows and more older homes are demolished to make way for new developments. The estimated cost of the Metro pilot project is $80,000. Some mayors, including Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan and North Vancouver City’s Darrell Mussatto, say the province should address the problem because it has underfunded the Agricultural
goodbye ordinary
Land Commission. The agency theoretically charged with preventing illegal dumping on ALR farmland has just three enforcement officers for the entire province. Mussatto and Corrigan say it amounts to cost downloading if cities or the region shoulder more costs of farmland protection. “I don’t think we should kid ourselves in thinking the province is going to step in and do the job for us,” Steves responded. Langley Township Coun. Charlie Fox said municipalities need to avoid downloading but agreed the ALC is incapable of policing the problem. “I live right in the middle of fill central down in south Langley,” Fox said. “On weekends and late at night the dump trucks run through 16th Avenue 24 hours a day.” Fox said Metro should invite the Fraser Valley Regional District and member cities such as Abbotsford and Chilliwack to participate in any new regulatory system that takes shape. “This is a huge issue that actually goes right through and permeates the whole south and north of the Fraser Valley in that direction.” Other ideas suggested at Metro to fight illegal fill dumping include providing affordable fill dumping sites, spot checking trucks, aerial surveys and whistleblowing by residents through Soil Watch surveillance programs. Not all soil being trucked away is necessarily being dumped on land. Corrigan said his city investigated a massive soil excavation at a Brentwood Town Centre and discovered most of the soil was being barged out and dumped in the ocean off Point Grey. “It seem to me counterintuitive that that’s good for the environment to dump all that dirt off west Point Grey but apparently the Ministry of Environment says it is.”

Truckers ask for toll relief From page one
It’s currently in danger of failing from a moderate earthquake, ship collision or river erosion. The Pattullo currently serves as the free alternative to the tolled Port Mann Bridge, carrying 75,000 vehicles a day. But critics say that won’t be a reasonable option for people who refuse to pay the $3 Port Mann tolls during the Pattullo construction delays and closures. B.C. Trucking Association president and CEO Louise Yako is urging the province to give at least trucks a break on tolls at the Port Mann to encourage them to use that crossing, rather than disrupting traffic further by diverting south to the Alex Fraser or Massey Tunnel to avoid tolls. “They’re forcing trucks off of the Pattullo Bridge,â€? Yako said. “Hopefully there will be some recognition of that with a reduction of tolls on the Port Mann Bridge. It’s a lovely facility, it’s got the capacity and it’s being under-utilized by trucks today.â€? She said toll relief would “encourage traffic to flow in the most rational way it can.â€? Business leaders in both Surrey and New Westminster also urged the province earlier this year to consider toll relief during the Pattullo work. New Westminster Mayor Jonathan CotĂŠ agreed relaxed tolls would be helpful. “Anything that can make using the Port Mann Bridge a more attractive option in terms of the tolling policy could assist,â€? he said. “Since they put
the tolls in place, we’ve seen a significant shift in traffic to the Pattullo Bridge.� A transportation ministry spokesperson said the Pattullo work is a year away and the government has no plans at this point to reduce tolls on the Port Mann. Cummings said TransLink considered closing the bridge in an effort to get the work done much faster – perhaps in just a few months in the summer – but ruled it out after determining it would take a complete closure of eight to nine months. “It just seemed impractical and the congestion would be just unbearable.� Keeping the bridge partly open on weekdays will help minimize business impacts, he said, while balancing safety and traffic concerns. The exact duration of the project will depend on how construction goes, what’s discovered during rehabilitation and the weather. The decision to give nearly a year of advance warning is so people have as much time as possible to decide how they’ll respond, he said. Cummings said the rehabilitation and seismic upgrades are required, even if the Metro Vancouver referendum on an extra 0.5 per cent sales tax for transit is approved, enabling plans to proceed for the replacement of the Pattullo with a $1-billion new bridge within seven to 10 years. “Even if we had a decision yesterday on a solution for the replacement of the bridge this work would still go ahead.� – Black Press

A: Staging is always better but
the question is how much staging do you need to do? First, if you are moving Edith Katronis anyhow, a part of the process is to box up everything you don’t need day to day and store it somewhere. Then things that enhance the rooms can be added very sparingly. A full stage with new furniture is expensive and often not necessary. Staging will increase the interest in your home and also should fetch a better price for the property.
that identifies them as being old and possibly less capable. Perfectly understandable but really not a very good decision. Most elders do best with Rebekah Crump the transition if they are knowledgeable and involved in the choice to move. They settle in better and enjoy themselves more when the move is completed.
While you can still make your own decisions, do so. Put some effort into your future as you have been doing all your life.

FELINE VETERINARIAN REGISTERED MASSAGE THERAPIST d MORTGAGE EXPERT WHY CATS AREN’T SMALL DOGS The differences between cats and dogs are more than just the obvious. Did you know that, unlike dogs, cats evolved to be both predator to small mammals and birds, and prey to larger Dr. Anik Bay B.Sc., DVM predators like coyotes? As prey, cats have evolved to hide sickness and injury, so that they do not appear vulnerable to predators. Signs of illness in cats can be very subtle, e.g. simply sleeping more, or appearing less energetic. Lethargy is in fact one of the most common clinical signs of pancreatitis, kidney disease and various painful conditions, like osteoarthritis. By keeping a watchful eye on our cats’ behaviour, we can detect illness earlier, leading to faster intervention by a veterinarian and a longer, more comfortable life for our feline friends.

The therapist will then set out a guide line for that days treatment and goals for future treatment, this gives you an opportunity to ask questions and they will also ask for your consent to begin treatment. The important thing to remember is that massage therapists offer many techniques and treatments tailored to individual needs.

Dentists use x-rays for many reasons: to find hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities. It is possible for both tooth decay and periodontal disease to be missed during a visual exam alone. Most people will have 4 small x-rays taken once a year during one of their cleaning visits. These are used to detect hidden decay and changes in bone density caused by gum disease. Sometimes a smaller, individual x-ray is needed to detect abnormalities of the root structure and surrounding bone of a tooth.

Most homeowners should expect to pay a penalty if they want to break their mortgage to get a better rate or for a complete refinance. Homeowners in 5 year fixed mortgages often look to break their mortgage during their 3rd year for debt consolidation or to accommodate changing life circumstances such as job loss, illness, divorce or simply to find a better rate or product. The penalty to break a mortgage is typically the greater of • three months’ interest, or • the interest-rate differential (IRD)
Feisal Panjwani, AMP
With the IRD, your mortgage lender will want you to pay the equivalent of what they will lose by releasing you from your mortgage and lending the money at current rates. Unfortunately, not all lenders calculate IRD the same way so you should always get the actual penalty from your lender. Penalty amounts can often be up to 6 times higher with some lenders vs. others simply based on the method of calculation. Check your lender’s website for their prepayment penalty calculator. If you want to look at breaking your mortgage, we can review the terms and conditions of your mortgage and do an assessment of your situation to determine if your benefit outweighs the cost. There is no cost or obligation. Often penalties are rolled into the new mortgage so you don’t have to be out of pocket. We are experts at providing the advice, education and resources that homeowners need. It pays to be informed, and we’re here to help!

You should have your vehicle Susanne Figueira Manager air conditioning serviced as per the factory recommended schedules or at least once a year. It’s not a good idea to let the AC system sit unused for long periods – in most cases you should be using it all year long. the AC system runs on R134A or newer style refrigerants and together with refrigerant oils they work together at lubricating working parts with in the system. When the AC sits unused for long periods of time you have the potential to develop leaks, have the system dry out and become inoperable.

Brisk walking for 35 minutes, 5 days per week, or for 60 minutes, 3 days per week, were both found to significantly improve symptoms in mild and moderate depression. Exercise may be an acceptable substitute for antidepressants in many cases, especially for those who do not wish to take drugs or experience side effects from them. In all cases, exercise should be considered as a key therapy in an individualized treatment plan.

Surrey losing out on unpaid parking fines
CIty losing as much as $420,000 annually. Delta has no parking meters, so the number of tickets handed out annually is only 1,130. Hugh Davies, Delta’s manager of property use and compliance, said the amount of tickets that go unpaid in that municipality is similar to Surrey, at about 30 per cent. The annual loss of revenue is $38,000, Davies said. Rehal said the problem is pretty endemic through the region. “Most municipalities are trying to wrestle with this,” Rehal said last week, adding he’s also liaising with other cities.
“One thing we’re looking at is changing our collection meth-
ods,” he said. “Hopefully we’ll have something wrapped up
in a couple of weeks.” – Black Press

By Kevin Diakiw One in four Surrey traffic tickets in the city will never be paid. The uncollected fines amount to about $420,000 annually. Last month, Surrey bylaw officials released their quarterly report on bylaw actions. One of the highlights is the 13,579 parking enforcement tickets issued during that period. Less than half of those (5,572) have been paid, while five per cent (660) are being disputed. A full 35 per cent are outstanding and on their way to a collection agency. Surrey’s Manager of Bylaw Enforcement Jas Rehal said the city can expect to recover 30 per cent of those due to collection action. But it leaves a full 3,360 tickets that will remain unpaid over a fourmonth span – a figure Rehal says is admittedly high. He says in a typical year, the number of unpaid tickets will range from 10,000 to 12,000. With the average ticket being $35, it amounts to $420,000 annually. Rehal is working with city lawyers to determine if there’s a way to collect the unpaid fines. In Vancouver, the annual parking fine loss tops $5 million, while other cities such as Burnaby and Richmond are failing to collect similar amounts as Surrey’s.

Seniors’ advocate calls for housing reforms By Tom Fletcher Too many seniors are going into residential care when they could still be accommodated in assisted living, due to rules that are “outdated and too restrictive,” B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie says in a new report. The report found a 10-per-cent vacancy rate for assisted living facilities, meaning space is usually available, at least in urban areas. It calls for a “fundamental redesign” of regulations for registered assisted living, to change spousal eligibility and reduce the number of higher functioning seniors moving to residential care. More than 90 per cent of B.C. seniors live independently and 80 per cent are homeowners, who should be able to apply for a provincial loan against equity

tions, such as providing private rooms with ensuite bath for residential care beds, have “wide-reaching implications for health authorities” and require more study, Lake said. Subsidized assisted living is based on 70 per cent of the resident’s net income, with a minimum of $325 left to the resident. Mackenzie recommends that minimum should increase to $500 to allow more lowincome seniors to use assisted living rather than going directly to residential care, where more costs are covered by the province. A survey of B.C. seniors finds 20 per cent are renters, with one in

$ to pay for repairs, the report recommends. “A new roof or the need to fix a dilapidated deck may be a cost that forces a senior out of a house they have loved for decades,” Mackenzie said. “Living in a house that is worth $500,000 or even a million dollars does not mean much if you’re living alone on $24,000 or less, which is the median income of seniors in B.C., and you can’t find the cash to pay the bills.” Health Minister Terry Lake said he supports the direction of Mackenzie’s 18 recommendations, and the ministry is working on assisted living changes.

Cloverdale Skating Club’s Julia Rempel competes in the Seniors Bronze Women Free Program at the Pond to Podium Super Series Victoria Day Competition at the Surrey Sports and Leisure Centre on May 17.
Top 10 finish for rugby team Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary’s senior boys rugby team had a thrilling week at the provincials, where they made it into the final eight. The Panthers advanced to the second round of the Senior AAA High school boys rugby championships after a first-round victory May 23. The Panthers, seeded 11th, advanced after a 3628 upset victory over sixth seed Lord Byng. It was an exciting victory that was capped off by grad celebrations later that night.
Lord Tweedsmuir faced the Fraser Valley champion Yale Lions May 27 in the second round. But Abbotsford blanked the Cloverdale team 46-0 in the quarter-finals. LTS lost 19 to 29 against Robert Bateman in the match for fifth place, and went on to beat Handsworth Saturday 36-22, for a 7th place win. Yale also defeated South Surrey’s Earl Marriott Secondary in a tie-breaker for the bronze medal. St. George’s took silver and the gold medal went to Shawnigan. – Cloverdale Reporter

Super, virtual B.C. seen world-wide ‘The Wild Within’ is a virtual reality experience being marketed by Destination B.C. By Tom Fletcher You climb into a boat and the guide asks if you want to see sea lions along the beach, or hike into the rainforest highland to a group of waterfalls. Turn to look behind you and see two more people in the boat, the outboard wake behind them. Look up and see trees reaching to the sky and raindrops falling on
B.C.’s Central Coast near Nimmo Bay. A floating wilderness lodge with Adirondack chairs and a crackling firepit await your return. The Wild Within, a virtual reality experience produced by Destination B.C. is the first for North American destination marketing. Its December launch in New York and Washington
was covered by 94 media outlets including National Geographic, USA Today, Time, Outside, Lonely Planet, Wall Street Journal, Wired and Ad Week magazine. The video is experienced with virtual reality goggles and a stereo headset, a system developed by Samsung. It supplements conventional promotional videos,
and is being presented at tourism trade shows and travel media events across Canada and in in Beijing and Shanghai in June. To view the video and another showing how it was made, go to www.youtube.com and search for “Destination BC The Wild Within.” – Black Press
The virtual reality video surrounds the viewer with the sights and sounds of the coastal rainforest.
Guilty plea By Sheila Reynolds A Surrey man has pleaded guilty to stabbing a 35-year-old man to death in an apartment they shared with the victim’s mother in 2012. William Engebretsen, 56, was initially charged with second-degree murder in connection with the death of Jeremy McLellan. However, on May 27 in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster, Engebretsen pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter. Police were called to an apartment near 128 Street and 95 Avenue at about 5:45 p.m. on Nov. 25, 2012 and found McLellan suffering from stab wounds. He died later in hospital. Engebretsen, who has no prior criminal record, was arrested at the scene. Police said he lived at the apartment with McLellan and McLellan’s mother. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 26. Sentences for manslaughter can range anywhere from parole to life in prison, though most fall within the four- to ten-year range.
