As fi rst promised by the province last year, Surrey will be receiving a multi-million dollar expansion to its courthouse, B.C.’s attorney general has announced.
At a press conference Th ursday in Surrey, B.C. Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton confi rmed Surrey Provincial
Court will undergo a $24.3-million expansion that will include three additional courtrooms and two more hearing rooms.
Construction will start in early 2016 and is set to be completed in 2017.
In April 2013, fi ve municipalities, including Surrey, Abbotsford, the City and Township of Langley and Chilliwack, entered into a mem-orandum of understanding with the province for the provision of more courtrooms over 20 years. Last year, Surrey was identifi ed as a top priority for expansion. Th e long-term plan for Surrey includes a total of eight more courtrooms.
Th e city’s population has grown 60 per
cent since 1991 when the Surrey courthouse was fi rst built, Anton said, and is expected to double in the next two decades.
“With these kind of numbers come all the benefi ts and challenges that big cities encoun-ter,” Anton said. “Some of these challenges involve the justice system where Surrey’s tre-mendous population growth has put pressure on the courts. We want to change that.”
Th e Surrey courthouse, which hears a high volume of provincial civil small claims cases, is second only to Vancouver Provincial Court in terms of caseload.
Surrey-Tynehead Liberal MLA Amrik Virk said the expansion is what the city and its
citizens have asked for.“We listened. We heard what you wanted as
a community and it’s about promises made and promises kept,” Virk said.
But Surrey-Newton NDP MLA Harry Bains criticized the news, saying Surrey deserves more than three new courtrooms at this time.
“I hoped to see some meaningful action from the attorney general today, but all we got was three out of the fi ve courtrooms she already announced last year,” Bains said.

He added the NDP has worked with the community to devel-op the Surrey Accord, a comprehensive plan meant to tackle crime on the streets and to address its long-term causes.
“It’s time the B.C. Liberal government (took) a look at the ideas in the Surrey Accord and start making real changes to make Surrey safer,” Bains said.
Also announced Th ursday is the creation of an Integrated Services Network of social, health and justice service pro-viders – which would ideally be situated near the court-house, at 140 Street and 57A Avenue, in Surrey’s former city hall.
“It would be a one-stop loca-tion for clients who may have
complex needs,” Anton said.Th e Integrated Services Network would focus on cases in-
volving domestic violence, mental illness, substance abuse and prolifi c off enders.
Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner said the model would allow for a “greater chance of success in re-integrating off enders into positive roles” in society.
“What we’re seeing today is an example of what can be achieved when a common goal is paired with meaningful part-nerships,” Hepner said.
Anton said her ministry is currently in the process of devel-oping a specialized court strategy to determine “future needs for integrated justice initiatives.”
Th e plan is expected to be released in the spring.Meanwhile, the Surrey Crown counsel offi ce is in the process
of relocating to the old city hall building next to the court-house, but Crown counsel will keep a suite in the courthouse for witness waiting and day offi ces, said Tasha Schollen, the communications director for the justice ministry.
Schollen added the Surrey Family Justice Services offi ce will relocate into the vacant space in the courthouse.

“Yes” forces claim the 10-year plan of proposed upgrades will “cut congestion” and the document itself says drivers will “spend less time stuck in traffi c.”
Th e plan projects round-trip time savings once the projects are complete of 15 to 20 minutes per day for drivers on some routes, such as Langley to Metrotown or the North Shore to Tsawwassen, and 20 to 30 minutes for transit commuters.
But rarely do yes campaigners make it clear that improvement is not compared to current conditions, but to the congestion that will exist 10 years from now if the proposed projects don’t proceed and after more population growth.
So will drivers face less congestion than they do today if they vote yes?
Urban planner Brent Toderian says it’s safer to say the plan will prevent much worse congestion in the future without the upgrades than to claim it will cut road congestion below current levels.
“When they say it’s going to cut congestion it doesn’t necessarily mean our roads are going to be 20 per cent more empty,” he said. “What it means is we’re going to be able to move a lot more people in our region – to the benefi t of our region’s success in every way we can think of –
without being trapped by congestion and gridlock.”
Th e reality is any room freed up on the roads – whether it comes from building new lanes or by some drivers switching to transit as that alternative improves – is expected to fi ll back up and revert to the same level of con-gestion, a phenomenon called induced demand in planning circles.
But Toderian said while road congestion might not change noticeably from the plan’s invest-ments, boosting the tran-sit system’s capacity so it can carry more people
will be crucial because of continued population growth, which is forecast to add a million resi-dents over 30 years.
Since Metro Vancouver keeps adding residents – and there is no way to stop them from coming – it needs to ensure a growing proportion of us move by transit, while the number driving remains about the same.
“It won’t suddenly make the roads empty,” Toderian said of the plan. “But building more op-tions prevents horrible congestion, as we’ve seen in other places where it’s irrational to be in your car but there’s no other option.”
He points to cities in China where people could walk faster than the crawling vehicles but nobody does because the poor air quality makes it too dangerous.
B.C. Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton announces an expansion of Surrey Provincial Court that will include three more courtrooms and integrated services for cases involving mental illness, substance abuse and domestic violence. LAUREN COLLINS

A man accused of killing his fa-ther in their Surrey home last year has been ordered to stand trial for murder in B.C. Supreme Court.
Ryan William Beauchamp was
charged last August after his dad, Edward Allen Bezell, was found dead inside the home where police said both men lived.
Surrey RCMP received a call of shots fi red in the area of 60 Avenue and 140 Street on Aug. 12, 2014 and arrived at the scene to fi nd Bezell dead. Th e Integrated Homicide Investigation Team took over the case.
Beauchamp, who was 29 at the time, was arrested and charged
with second-degree murder.He was ordered by a judge
Th ursday (March 19) to stand trial after a week-long preliminary hearing of the evidence in Surrey Provincial Court that began March 13. Th ere is a publication ban on evidence presented at preliminary hearings.
Beauchamp’s trial will now transfer to B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster. His next court date is scheduled for April 16.

A 30-year-old Chil-liwack man has been sentenced to three years in jail and given a nine-year driving ban in con-nection with a police-in-volved crash that killed a 47-year-old Delta man on 16 Avenue in Langley in 2012.
Devon Laslop was sentenced Th ursday, March 12 in Surrey Pro-vincial Court. For pleading guilty to fl ight causing death, Laslop was also given a three-year driving ban.
He was also sentenced for driving while prohibited on that fateful day. For that, a provincial judge
sentenced him to a further six months in jail and a six-year driving ban, as well as a $1,000 fi ne.
Laslop was originally charged with fl ight causing death and dan-gerous driving causing death as well as driv-
ing while prohibited.At a preliminary in-
quiry held last October, Laslop pleaded guilty
of the one charge of fl ight causing death.
Laslop fl ed a police road check and then crashed into two vehicles at an intersec-tion at 16 Avenue and 240 Street on Oct. 29, 2012. He was prohibit-ed from driving at the time.
Victor Melo Duarte, a husband and father of two, was killed instant-ly when Laslop, driving a pick-up truck, hit another vehicle, which in turn hit Duarte’s vehicle.

The B.C. government has made its most significant moves in decades to address the needs of some of the prov-ince’s poorest people.
The largest financial commitment is for a new program to help single parents escape from the welfare trap. There are 16,000 single parents in B.C. receiving provincial income assistance or disability payments, most of them women.
Even if they could find an entry-level job, it wouldn’t pay enough to cover the child care they would need to go to work. Worst of all, the current system requires that if they enrol in training, they lose their income assistance, including dental and extended medical care for themselves and their children.
That is the welfare trap, one of the most perverse government policies to have survived into our supposedly enlightened modern era.
The new program takes effect in September. It will not only continue income assistance payments when single parents enrol in skills training, it
promises to cover their child care and transportation costs for an approved training program of up to one year.
Medical and child care costs will then be covered for up to a year after train-ing, to allow a transition to employ-ment.
Approved training means training for jobs that are identified as in demand, requiring high school and occupa-tion-specific training that can be com-pleted in a year or less. They include retail sales, general office work and assistance jobs in health services.
Another overdue policy change is to double the allowable earnings for all income assistance recipients from $200 to $400 a month. This gives people a chance to improve their circumstances by taking whatever part-time or casual work they can manage, without having that little income cut from their already meagre welfare cheques.
And then there was the recent deci-sion to end the claw-back of parental child support payments from income assistance payments.
The province has for many years run a costly child maintenance enforce-ment program to track down (mostly) deadbeat dads and force them to pay at least a token amount to support their children. Now when they pay child support to a single parent on income assistance, they will at least have the satisfaction of knowing the children actually receive the extra benefit.
These harsh, historic policies were built around a philosophy that welfare is a temporary last resort, to be with-drawn as soon as some other source of income is identified. That is a valid if unfashionable position to take on behalf of working taxpayers who pay for all this, but it only makes sense if the income assistance recipient has a realistic option.
For those who are already in the entry-level job market, the minimum wage goes up 20 cents an hour in Sep-tember, from $10.25 to $10.45. This
is the beginning of an annual review that will tie the wage to the consumer price index.
A paltry sum, to be sure, but anyone who still thinks jacking the minimum wage up to $15 an hour is a magic solution that won’t cost some en-try-level jobs is clinging to a socialist dream world.
• I have been contacted by several low-income seniors who read my recent column on B.C.’s Seniors’ Advocate. They were asking where to find out if they are eligible for support programs such as the SAFER rent subsidy, assistance for Medical Services Plan premiums, property tax deferment and grants to help with home modifications for disabilities.
I apologize for this oversight. One place to start is the Seniors’ Advocate toll-free information line, 1-877-952-3181, weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.
There have been numer-ous protests against the federal government’s Bill C-51, which proposes a number of new measures to combat the prospects of terrorism.
The Conservative gov-ernment has proposed giving additional powers to the RCMP and CSIS, the Canadian Security Intel-ligence Service. Many of those protesting say these new powers will strip pri-vacy from many Canadian residents. They also argue that both the RCMP and CSIS do not have sufficient independent oversight.
The Liberals have already said they will support the bill, and make amend-ments if they are elected as the government in the election this fall. NDP
MPs, on the other hand, are stalwart foes of the bill.
The different reactions from the two opposition parties speak volumes about the perceptions of this bill.
The Liberals are clearly banking on the broad sup-port among Canadians for more counter-terrorism measures.
The support comes in the wake of the deadly attack on Parliament Hill last fall and numerous homegrown terror plots.
The NDP, on the other hands, is taking its tra-ditional principled ap-proach, in standing up for civil rights over enhanced
anti-terrorism measures. The principled stance gets them plenty of positive mentions, but often does not translate into votes. Virtually all polls show the NDP will finish third in the election, barring a last-minute shift by voters.
The need for enhanced anti-terrorism measures is pretty clear. Howev-er, there should be more oversight of both CSIS and the RCMP, should they be granted new powers.
At the very least, there needs to be a Parliamen-tary committee with MPs from all sides taking an ongoing close look at just how these new powers are being used.

Th e Canada Revenue Agency’s tax in-formation 1-800 telephone number rings busy. When I fi nally get through I wait more than 30 minutes to speak to some-one who, it turns out, gives me the wrong answer to my tax question.
How do I know? I look it up again and again and something just wasn’t right. I called again; same thing, line is busy and when I fi nally get through again a few days later (again after waiting on hold forever), I get a similar but slightly diff erent answer.
Not satisfi ed with the result, I try a diff er-ent approach: the CRA online “My Account” service. I register but I have to wait 10 days for them to send me a “code” to fi nalize my online registration.
Once I fi nally get into My Account, the page that I want is unavailable, the help page for that page is a dead link and the “Change my Return” page for a previous tax year (same as using a T1 Adjustment paper form) states that it is currently experienc-ing “technical diffi culties, try again later.”
I tried again later… and again and again and again.
Wow. It’s no wonder individuals and small businesses use professional tax preparers.
I personally don’t think I should pay someone to do my taxes because I am unable to get help. A person trying to be honest and fi le a complete and proper tax return is faced with the daunting task of fi guring out all the legal-speak in the tax guide because the government… well, they are no help at all.

Find a solution to PTSD
In response to the article “Beyond the break-ing point,” Th e Leader, March 19.
Having served as a paid on-call Surrey fi re-fi ghter for more than 28 years, I can relate to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Unfortunately, the critical stress division program was not available to our group.
I, along with some of my fi refi ghter cohorts, were exposed to disaster and trauma. We just endured it and tried to shake it off – and so life went on.
Someone would say “you could have walked away as there was no obligation.”
My answer? It was for the good of the com-munity and fellow citizens.
Besides this commitment, I had to deal with work other than the Surrey fi re department.
Th is pressure I endured from time to time defi nitely had an eff ect on my personality –miserable, short-tempered,etc.
It may have a been a contributing factor to two failed marriages, not to mention dealing with my handicapped child.
I am glad that the powers that be are realiz-ing the nature of this problem in order to fi nd a solution.

Surrey is on the moo-ve
It is diffi cult not to laugh when I saw the full-page ad in Th e Leader from the City of Surrey (March 12).
Near the top of the page I see “improving roads and fi ghting congestion.” Th en I see“widen-
ing of major roads.”All this sounds great until I
know that the City of Surrey’s plans for 104 Avenue is to remove one traffi c lane in each direction to make room for the streetcar system it wants to use.
So now we would have the only major Surrey road which connects directly to the TransCanada highway, plus is a major feeder for the
Port Mann Bridge, as well as easy access to Guildford Town Centre, turned into a one-lane cow path.
Beautiful thinking. And how about some honest advertis-ing?
I also read that it would take seven years for the streetcars to start running. Are you kidding me? Seven years to install some streetcar tracks from King George Boulevard
to 152 Street. Wow. Must be a union job.
Really smart idea, Surrey mayor and council. I really hope that there is at least one person on council with enough grey matter to talk some com-mon sense into the mayor and the rest of her gang. I certainly am voting no.

A man who exposed himself to students in Clayton is now the sub-
ject of a police search.It’s also possible the
man later exposed him-self to a woman in the
same area weeks later.On March 2 at about
1 p.m., police responded to a call of a man com-mitting an indecent act behind Clayton Heights Secondary School.
He’s described as a
Caucasian male in his 20s, with a medium build, tattoos on his arms, wearing a grey hoodie and dark jeans. He was riding a BMX bike.
Th en on March 5 at
about 8:30 a.m., Surrey Mounties responded to a complaint of a man fl ashing his privates to two students in a lane way north of 70 Avenue between 190 and 188A Streets.
He is described as a Caucasian male, 30 to 40 years old, about 5’10”, with greying hair and wearing dark clothes.
Th en on March 16 at about 12:30 p.m., Surrey RCMP responded to a report of a man commit-ting an indecent act on a trail near 70 Avenue and 188 Street as a woman walked her dog in the area.
He didn’t say any-thing, or approach her, but she felt it was
obvious he wanted her to see him.
He left the area on his bike riding east on 68 Avenue.
Th at suspect is described as a Hispanic male, approximately 20 years old, with a slim build and short dark hair, wearing a brown hoodie and shorts. He was also riding a BMX-style bike with orange-coloured rims.
“While we have not been able to conclusively link these investigations at this early stage, there are enough similarities that caused our analysts and investigators to take notice,” said Surrey RCMP Sgt. Carr. “Our Youth Unit has spoken
with the school and notices have gone out to parents to advise them of these incidents and provide information to students on what to do if they encounter such an individual. Th is serves has a good re-minder for all residents to be aware of their sur-roundings and to report any and all suspicious activity immediately to police.”
Anyone with any information about these incidents is asked to call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502, or if you wish to remain anony-mous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or www.solvecrime.ca
Cops hunting for fl asher in Surrey’s Clayton area▶ THREE INCIDENTS IN TWO WEEKS NEAR HIGH SCHOOL SPARK POLICE ALERT
TRACY HOLMES
Street-racing charges have been approved against two drivers in con-nection with a fi ery South Surrey crash last December involving a Lamborgh-ini.
Th e charges – announced Wednes-day afternoon – stem from a Dec. 22 incident on Highway 99 near 152 Street, which police say could easily have ended in tragedy.
“Luckily, no one was seriously injured, however, the consequences of such a high-speed collision on a major arterial roadway in our city could have been catastrophic,” Sgt. Dale Carr said.
On the day of the incident, police were called just after 11:30 a.m. after a northbound 2007 Lamborghini Mur-cielago spun off the road just past the 152 Street overpass and caught fi re.
When police arrived, fi refi ghters were extinguishing the blaze and
the Lamborghini’s occupants were standing nearby unhurt. Occupants of another vehicle, a 2013 Dodge Viper, were also at the scene.
Witnesses described both vehicles as travelling at excessive speeds just before the crash occurred. One witness caught the incident on a dash-mount-ed camera. Th e footage shows a Lam-borghini, with a Viper close behind, lose control during an attempt to pass.
Investigation determined the vehi-cles had reached speeds of up to 157 km/h.
At the time, the Lamborghini driver was issued fi nes under the Motor Vehi-cle Act totalling around $700. Should the drivers be convicted, police have asked that both vehicles be forfeited.
Edmonton resident Adam Shtay, 27, and Surrey resident Joshua Dally, 31, have each been charged with one count of dangerous operation of motor vehicle while street racing.

Punching new lanes of road through exist-ing neighbourhoods to instead try to make more room for cars would be incredibly expensive, wasteful and damaging, Tode-rian said.
“When you build more capacity into transit, you’re moving people with a lot less public money and a lot less space,” he said.
More people and cars doesn’t just mean more time lost getting from point A to B in slow traffi c, but also more delays looking for parking in increasingly full lots and residential streets.
Th e space required just to park the forecast 600,000 addition-al vehicles under a do-nothing scenario is estimated to occupy 22 square kilometres, equivalent to one quar-ter of Burnaby.
Other trends are also important, particularly the densifi cation of the region along transit friendly smart-growth corridors that develop-ers now prefer.
Th e plan projects that even without the new investments, the average Metro resident will drive 10 per cent fewer kilometres per year by 2045 than they do today.
Th at’s because over time more people will be in a position to walk, bike or take transit for more trips, or will have chosen to live closer to where they work.
Th e plan’s proposed upgrades would only cut per-capita kilome-tres driven by another four per cent.
What really makes the diff erence in the mayors’ long-range plan out to 2045 – delivering
a further 12-per-cent cut – is an assumption that road pricing will be imposed.
Apart from econom-ic collapse, Toderian says international experience shows nothing can truly cut congestion other than some form of road user fees.
That’s borne out by the free-flowing conditions on the Port Mann and Golden Ears toll bridges, compared to other congested free cross-
ings like the Pattullo Bridge.
“What we’ve seen is the only things that ac-tually drop congestion are pricing mechanisms – toll roads.”
While an actual cut in current road congestion is doubtful, much more bus service should go far to meet demand and reduce overcrowd-ing and delays. Th e plan predicts the bus system pass-ups that now plague the busiest routes would be virtual-ly eliminated.
Referendum Ques-tions is a Black Press series exploring issues related to the Metro Vancouver transit and transportation refer-endum. 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, called the Congestion Im-provement Tax, to fund billions of dollars worth of upgrades.

Israel trip pays off: Mayor
KEVIN DIAKIW
Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner is back from Israel and says she will soon be rolling out proposals with high-tech companies that will both provide goods and services and locate here.
Hepner and the City of Surrey’s Manager of Economic Development Donna Jones have returned from Israel after a week-long interna-tional academic event called “Brain Tech.”
Hepner was hoping to lure companies to come and locate along Surrey’s Innovation Boulevard, a high-tech corridor between SFU and Surrey Memorial Hospital.
Hepner said Thursday she signed a partner-ship agreement with the mayor of Be’er Sheva,
a city a little less than half the size of Surrey in approximately the geographic centre of Israel.
She also plans to unveil some initiatives involving companies in-terested in Innovation Boulevard.
Hepner would not provide details at this point about which com-panies are interested or what role they might take.
She added that the Centre for Israel and
Jewish Affairs footed the bill for her travel to Israel. Surrey taxpayers covered the cost of Jones’ trip.

Th e Hamburglar has done it again.A day after earning the National Hockey League’s
(NHL) Th ird Star of the Week, Andrew Hammond has worked his way into the record book.
Th e Ottawa Senators netminder tied an NHL record last Tuesday night in a 2-1 overtime win over the Carolina Hurricanes, allowing two or fewer goals in his fi rst 12 career starts. Hammond tied a record held by Frank (Mr. Zero) Brimsek of the Boston Bruins, who set the standard in the 1938-39 season.
His quest for the record fell short Th ursday night, although his unbeaten streak continued. Hammond allowed four goals, but still earned a victory in a huge 6-4 win over the Boston Bruins. On Saturday night, he was in goal again for a 5-3 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Th e Surrey native has become a huge story in the NHL, forced into the Ottawa goal on Feb. 16 following injuries to both the team’s net mind-ers. On that night, Hammond played in relief of Robyn Lehner, who was injured during a game against the Hurricanes.
Two nights later, with number-one netminder Craig Anderson already on the injury list, the Senators gave Hammond his fi rst-ever NHL start and he didn’t disappoint, making 42 saves in a 4-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens.
Nicknamed the Hamburglar while at Bowling Green University – a play on his name and his ability to steal games – the former Surrey Eagle has started all but two games since.
He started in eight consecutive games, going 7-0-1 (win-loss-overtime/shootout loss) and earning the NHL’s First Star of the Week honor before Anderson returned to the lineup. Ander-son gave up seven goals in two starts – defeating the Calgary Flames 5-4 in a shootout before
losing 3-1 to the Bruins – before the Sens turned back towards Hammond.
Th e 27-year-old, who started the year in the American Hockey League with the Binghamton Senators, now has an amazing 1.65 goals against average with a .947 save percentage. Hammond now has 13 wins and a shootout loss in 14 starts.
By earning 27 of a possible 28 points with Ham-mond in goal, the Senators have moved from 10 points out of a playoff position to just one point back of the Bruins for the fi nal postseason berth in the Eastern Conference.

The Surrey Falcons couldn’t get past the Richmond Ravens at the BC Hockey Bantam Female cham-pionship tournament in Castlegar, and settled for second place at the six-team tournament.
The Falcons won four of six games played at the March 15-18 tournament, and advanced to the championship game before they were blanked 6-0 by the Ravens.
Surrey started the round robin with a 3-1 win over the host Castlegar team, getting goals from Danika Pasqua, Alexia Ursua and Rebecca Lim.
On the second day of the tour-nament, the Falcons won twice. Priya Sidhu notched two goals and Pasqua added one in a 3-1 victory over Kelowna, then Surrey romped past Williams Lake 8-0. Pasqua tallied two more goals, as did Jessica Douglas. Rhiannon Bulycz, Emma Hall, Jennider Gar-diner and Priya Dhaliwal added a goal each.
The Ravens handed Surrey their first loss of the tournament, a 4-3 decision that saw Richmond net the winning goal in the last min-ute of play. Pasqua scored all three Surrey goals in a loss that knocked
the Falcons from first place.Needing a tie to advance to the
championship game, the Falcons got goals from Gardiner and Pasqua for a 2-1 win over the South Island Royals.
Surrey finished the round robin with four wins in five games, plac-ing second.
The Surrey Falcons won their first two games of the Midget Female tournament in Penticton, but fell short of qualifying for the playoff round.
Surrey began the tournament with a 3-1 win over Williams Lake. Alyssa Dawidziak, Riley Alexander and Emily La Roue scored for the Falcons.
In their second game, they edged the Kamloops Mystix 4-3. Saran Gahan netted the winning goal with two minutes remaining. Sadie Stopplar, Sydney Kreps and Dawidziak also tallied for Surrey.
The Falcons went into their final game needing only a tie to clinch first place in their group, but lost 5-0 to the Vancouver Island Im-pact and were eliminated from the tournament.
Tied with the Impact and Wil-liams Lake for top spot in the group with two wins and a loss, Surrey had the poorest goal-dif-ferential. In third place in the final group standings, the Fal-cons were one position out of the playoffs.

On a Sunday morning at a local pub in Fleetwood, several people gather at a table and order breakfast: Sandwiches, veggie egg whites, an eight-ounce sirloin and something called a “cloak and dagger.”
Plus lots of gravy and extra ketchup.Although the waitress has just walked away
with their order, the mental plates are already full.
“Everything is on the table for discussion,” says Marina Sedai, a member of the Surrey/Langley Skeptics in the Pub.
The year-old offshoot of the Vancouver Skeptics has 42 members in its Facebook group, and meets twice a month in Surrey to discuss, disclaim and dispute any number of topics they deem worthy of skepticism or scientific examination.
Alien abductions? Check. Distrust of vaccines? Yep. The origins of the universe? Of course.
The skeptics are not to be confused with conspiracy theorists – 9/11 “truthers” and those who peddle myths about alien visits and “faked” moon landings.
Those are common targets of the skeptics, as are model/actress Jenny McCarthy and those providing unscientific and anecdotal “proof” that measles vaccines cause autism – claims that have been debunked in many scientific studies since the 1990s.
The skeptics follow the idea that “extraordi-nary claims require extraordinary evidence,” a phrase made popular by the late astronomer Carl Sagan.
Jeff Vickers brings up subject of homeop-athy, a pseudoscience with no measurable effect in curing diseases.
He describes homeopathic surgery as “nurse, hand me the nothing.”
“There are so many big topics that a lot of people talk about,” says group organizer Bob Brennert. “We don’t stick to one thing, but religion does show up a lot. There’s a large overlap between skep-tics and atheists.”
The skeptics understand that not everybody appreciates their views.
“For me, the big difference between coming to the skeptic group and having a conversation, and being outside in the rest of the world and having a polite-society conversation, is that when somebody takes a position and says ‘I have a belief,’ very often, it’s very difficult, even in the most polite and neutral manner, to say ‘why?’ and challenge
them with respect,” explains Sedai, who was once a Jehovah’s Witness. “Offence is quickly taken from that.”
“We’re more critical of the religion than the one who believes,” adds Vickers. “That line between the religion and the believer is very difficult to walk.”
He says outside of the group, any query, no matter how polite, is immediately taken as a personal attack.
Brennert describes the skeptics group as a safe place to talk.
“I don’t think anybody in the group
would be offended by being challenged.”Indeed, the skeptics themselves have
differences in opinions on any number of topics brought up, including the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which a man now is trying to make a “mainstream” religion in Germany.
(Brennert’s view is that no, the satire of religion in general shouldn’t give the “Pas-tafarian” movement a tax-exempt status. But he does agree that wearing religious headgear is a freedom of choice).
The discussions around the table are whimsical, logical and snappy, even if they might seem sharp to outsiders unready or unwilling to have their beliefs challenged.
“There’s not the dislike or hatred (from skeptics) that people impose on our commu-nity,” says Sedai. “It’s huge misconception. Atheists are not angry, they’re curious.”
“If someone were to believe in a super-natural being, they would not be excluded (from the group),” adds Brennert. “They think we’re threatening them. (But) we would welcome them and have really great conversations.”
Brennert says he doesn’t hate religion, he just doesn’t understand it.
“I don’t understand why people believe there is a God. There are scientific funda-
mentals that can explain that what you believe is not true.”
He admits there’s no denying that one’s religious community brings a sense of comfort.
“We nitpick about what it is you choose to believe.”
The same sentiment is shared by Vickers, who grew up in a small town in Ontario as part of the only family that didn’t go to church on Sundays.
He’s now got someplace else to be on the occasional Sunday – where dogma is skew-ered and sirloin is served.
The Surrey/Langley Skeptics in the Pub meet on the first Sunday of the month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Edith + Arthur Public House, 8410 160 St. and on the third Thursday from 7-10 p.m. at Central City Brewing Co., 13450 102 Ave.

One fi nal donation has ended a $350,000 campaign to bring an im-portant tool for surgeons who treat breast cancer patients.
After a lengthy search for funding, the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre in Surrey has placed an order for the SPY imaging system.
“I’m very excited to say we are done,” said Surrey Hospital and Outpatient Centre Foundation (formerly Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation) Presi-dent and CEO Jane Adams.
She explains the technology provides instant images of breast tissue during surgery.
“Th ese (the images) can show po-tential healing problems, enabling the surgeon to take immediate steps to prevent post-surgery complications.”
Th e SPY imaging system involves surgeons injecting a safe fl uorescent dye into the body at the start of recon-structive surgery.
A laser within the SPY system follows the dye, sending the surgeon
high-quality images of blood fl ow with-in vessels, tissue and organs.
Th e images allow surgeons to ensure there is a healthy blood fl ow circulating to the breast mound so they can pre-cisely reattach blood vessels as well as the breast skin fl aps.
“It’s (the technol-ogy) so dramatic in what it can do for patients,” said Adams.
Every month, 650 patients, who are mostly women, visit the Breast Health Clinic at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. Th e clinic dramatically speeds up the process for diagnosing suspi-cious masses which show up in routine mammographies.
“At the Jim Patti-son Centre, everything is done on the same day,” said Adams.
Approximately 300 women every year will end up having mastectomies, which are often followed by recon-structive surgery.
One local plastic surgeon, Dr. Adrian
Lee, has already been trained on the SPY imaging system, which was tried out recently in Surrey.
Th e SPY system will be among only two in the province – the other at
VGH.Th e last contributor
to the fundraising campaign was the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation – BC/Yukon, which donated the last sev-eral hundred of the $350,000.
“We are very pleased to be able to step up to the plate and grant the outstanding $15,500 required to complete the purchase of the SPY equipment,” said Wendy Slavin, CEO of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foun-dation – BC/Yukon Region. “We are con-
fi dent that this investment will help ensure better outcomes for women undergoing reconstruction following breast cancer surgery.”
“It will make an enormous diff erence for our patients,” added Adams.

Th e SOAR Philan-thropic Society is expecting a bigger turnout at their second student leadership conference.
Last year, about 60 people came to the con-
ference, but Saurabh Bangar said they’re expecting to “cap it at 100 people” this year.
“Th at way every indi-vidual gets quality time with the speakers,” said Bangar, SOAR’s presi-dent and CEO.
Th e panel of speakers include motivational speaker Rick Bains, veteran law offi cer Kal Dosanjh and entrepre-neur Manny Padda.
Padda, a member of SOAR’s advisory board, has spoken at previous SOAR events and he said he’s “super stoked” to speak at the summit.
Th ere will also be workshops on topics such as adversity and community leadership.
When SOAR (Suc-cess, Opportunity, Achievement and Results) registered as a non-profi t organiza-tion in December 2012, the group consisted of eight people. It has now grown to more than 20 people on its executive board.
Th e idea for SOAR started when Bangar, and SFU business student, realized there were high school stu-dents in fi nancial need.
“It hit me that we live in a country with so many opportuni-ties,” Bangar said, but he added that a lot of teens graduating from high school do need fi -nancial help to further their education, includ-ing his close friends.
Because of this, Bangar – along with the rest of SOAR – now helps to provide fi nan-cial and moral support for students wishing to attend post-secondary school.
Th e SOAR Philan-thropic Society summit is March 28 at Kwan-tlen Park Secondary (132 Street and 104 Avenue).

The chance to hive off a honey of a career
BLACK PRESS
A new program at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) is about to create quite a buzz.
Th e university will introduce B.C.’s fi rst commercial beekeeping program next Janu-ary and by November 2016, its graduates will have the skills to work in, manage and grow existing beekeeping operations or establish and grow their own diversifi ed cottage beekeeping business of up to 300 hives.
“Th ere is a bee short-age in B.C.,” said Jim Pelton, executive direc-tor of Continuing and Professional Studies at KPU. “Our aim is to bolster B.C.’s beekeep-ing industry by provid-ing the training that will allow our students to meet the province’s growing pollination demands.”
Th e program is time-ly. Pollination-depen-dent crops comprise
an increasing portion of the B.C. agricul-tural landscape, with honeybee pollination already responsible for more than $200 million per year in agricultural production.
Based on three hives per acre, the prov-ince’s 20,000 acres of blueberry farms alone require 60,000 bee colonies for pollination. With only 45,000 com-mercial bee colonies in B.C., the farms import colonies from Alberta to meet demand.
Th e 16 initial gradu-ates of KPU’s program could increase B.C.’s honey production by $250,000 per year while supporting more than $6 million in agricultural produc-tion, even if they just worked part-time man-aging small 50-colony operations.
And those fi gures would gradually expand, said Pelton, as KPU’s beekeeping program is forecast to grow from 16 students
per year in each of its fi rst three years, to 24 students per year after that.
“Our graduates will have the skills to work in, manage and grow existing beekeeping operations or establish and grow their own diversifi ed cottage beekeeping business that could include pollination, honey and apitherapy,” said Pelton.
John Gibeau, presi-dent of the Honeybee Centre in Cloverdale, helped develop the pro-gram and will be part
of the advisory committee of apiculture industry partners who are
guid-ing cur-ricu-
lum de-velopment, which
will include a work experience practicum.
Gibeau, who has 45 years experience as a beekeeper, called the
program a “sweet deal” because it sets up grads for family-supporting careers, plus includes a fi ve-month paid practi-cum equivalent to a trades apprenticeship.
Th en there is the profession itself, said Gibeau. He estimates a family can bring in revenue of about $100,000 a year and work until retirement.
“A career in pro-fessional beekeeping off ers the freedom and independence of entre-preneurship, and you’re outdoors where it’s fresh, you’re grounded and you’re surrounded
by nature with your kids. It’s a wonderful career.”
From a market perspective, Gibeau says honey continues to gain popularity as the healthiest sweeten-er, driving worldwide demand and sending prices soaring. Gibeau’s Honeybee Centre off ers three-day hobbyist courses and has taught nearly 1,000 people over the years, but fewer than a handful of those have gone on to become commercial beekeepers.
Students in the KPU program will receive
instruction in bee-hive care, bee disease management, bee botany, integrated pest management, livestock production and colony management, food safety, processing, packaging and market-ing, and bee business planning, management and growth.
Funding of $350,000 for the beekeeping program was provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the B.C. Ministry of Ag-riculture through pro-grams delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of B.C.
